Over the past several years, TiVo (s TIVO) has been more successful at litigating its DVR technology than selling it to consumers, something that has helped keep the firm alive despite hemorrhaging subscribers. After winning a patent infringement lawsuit against Dish Network (s DISH) and Echostar, (s SATS) the DVR maker set its sights on other companies that provide time-shifting technology to their customers, taking IPTV providers AT&T and Verizon to court.
Well now Verizon is getting some help in its case, with Motorola Mobility (s MMI) filing its own patent infringement suit against TiVo late last week. Since Verizon doesn't supply any time-shifting technology itself, but relies on Motorola for its DVRs and set-top boxes, the technology vendor is stepping up and asserting patents it says were filed back in 1995 — two years before TiVo was even founded. Those patents were filed and awarded to General Instrument engineers who went on to form Imedia, which is now a subsidiary of Motorola's set-top business.
Motorola is asserting General Instrument/Imedia intellectual property that includes U.S. Patent Nos. 5,949,948; 6,304,714 and 6,356,708. Those patents cover technology used in Verizon's set-top boxes, Motorola claims. Motorola claims its patents pre-date those in the case against Verizon, as TiVo's "Multimedia Time Warping System" patent was originally filed in 1998.
TiVo was awarded $200 million in its case against Dish and Echostar, which might be one reason it decided to take on AT&T (s t) and Verizon (s vz). While TiVo has received backing from the patent office in its case, the case is still under appeal. While Motorola is countering with its case against TiVo on behalf of Verizon, Microsoft — which supplies the software used by AT&T U-verse DVRs — had previously filed a lawsuit against the DVR maker.
There's a lot at stake in TiVo's lawsuits against IPTV providers, especially since the DVR provider has lost more than a million subscribers over the last 18 months. The DVR firm is down to 2.3 million subscribers, from a high of about 4.4 million back in 2007. TiVo lost $20.6 million in the third quarter 2010, on sales of $51 million. TiVo reports fourth-quarter and full-year 2010 earnings on Tuesday.

No Tangles. Love my new extensions could be a little thicker but will highly recommend your products.
thank you for the hair . I got this hair for my mom and she loved it ;
Nice hair pieces. I ordered so we can add some bouffants to our hair for a 1960's wedding. These will do the trick nicely.
Just got it in the mail today and love it, not as full as the picture but still really good,I think this ones better then the other. Definatly a good buy!

This is a PERFECT bun!!! The color matched beautifully. Fooled everyone that it was my own hair.
this hair is so beautiful The hair came very quick!
I love my hair extensions and they arrived reasonably quickly. They are really soft and dont get tangled which is good. They are easy to put in and it was great that you could order a colour sample instead of just having to buy them not knowing the colour
You're reviewing: 22" #6 Straight Micro Loop Human Hair Extensions [MS120076]
Twist a small piece of your own hair for attaching the hair extensions.
Let this small piece of your own hair go through the plastic loop.
Hold the micro ring and pull the big end of the plastic loop until your own piece of hair can go through the micro ring. At this moment, the plastic loop should be completely free from the micro ring and hair extensions.
Pull the micro ring up to about 0.8cm to 1cm from scalp.
Grip the micro ring by pliers and the hair extensions is now firmly applied on..
After doing the middle clip, you can then attach the two end clips. There you are - more hair in just a snap!
Keep your hair and scalp clean! When sweat and dirt build up your hair tangles. Use a good quality shampoo and conditioner. Detangle your hair first from the ends to the roots before shampooing. Wash your hair gentle in a downward motion (from the roots to the ends). When you're done rinse your hair thoroughly.Condition your hair after every wash. Dry your hair gently, don't rub it with a towel but move in a downward motion from roots to ends. Gently detangle your hair.
After you get your hair extensions it is best to wait 48 hours before you wash your hair.
It is better to avoid heat. Heat is your one of your hair's biggest enemy, the more you use it, the shorter your hair extensions will last. Be careful with the use of blow dryers, flat irons and curling irons. It is best to let your hair dry naturally.
DON'T sleep on wet hair. A good habit is to tie your hair together in a ponytail to prevent tangling as much as possible.
It is best to store the human hair in it's original container. However, you can store the hair in a plastic bag.To keep the desired curl pattern, you may want to set the hair on rollers that conform to the curl size you wish to maintain before storing in plastic.

Kunitz, Crosby feed off one another
Chris Kunitz will never skate with Marian Hossa's grace, will never showcase a release like Bill Guerin's and will probably never see the ice quite like Mark Recchi.
But he might be the best linemate Sidney Crosby has ever had.
The Penguins' captain is riding a 13-game scoring streak into tonight's game against Atlanta at Consol Energy Center, and part of his success can be attributed to the terrific play of Kunitz, his wing man of almost two years.
Kunitz has always been a streaky scorer yet consistently brings out the best in Crosby.
The duo clearly enjoys sharing the ice.
"He's a complete player," Crosby said. "He's pretty solid all the way around."
There is nothing fancy about Kuntiz's game, which seems perfectly suited to playing on Crosby's wing. While Crosby is indisputably the world's best overall player, and his skill is unquestioned, there is an efficiency about his game that seems to nicely complement Kunitz's north-south style.
"I just try to keep things simple," Kunitz said. "I go to the net and get pucks. I try to get him the puck when he's going with speed. Just the little things."
Crosby historically has success with linemates who play a simple game and crash the net, making it little wonder why he enjoys playing with Kunitz. While coach Dan Bylsma has been known to juggle his line combinations with frequency, Kunitz almost never leaves Crosby's left wing.
"He's consistently bringing it," Crosby said.
Crosby is on fire recently, having produced 26 points during his 13-game scoring streak. Kunitz has certainly played a role in the streak. He has five goals of his own during the last 13 games and made a beautiful feed on the first of Crosby's three goals against Calgary last Saturday.
While he isn't a sniper, Kunitz is a good passer, especially in the neutral zone. He made the pass that sprung Max Talbot on a 2-on-1 that resulted in his second goal in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final against Detroit. Those nifty neutral-zone passes are a trademark of Kunitz's game and one of the big reasons why he and Crosby thrive together.
"I try to get Sid the puck with speed," Kunitz said. "That's always one of the main goals with him, to get him the puck in those situations."
Crosby has definitely become a better goal scorer with Kunitz by his side. A cynic would suggest Crosby has become more of a sniper out of necessity because his linemates aren't natural goal scorers, and while there may be truth to this, Kunitz's ability to find Crosby has been helpful.
"He's able to see the ice real well," Crosby said.
While Crosby has scored in 13 straight games, Kunitz has a streak of his own. The left wing has been credited with at least one hit in every game this season. During Crosby's scoring streak, Kunitz has been credited with delivering 29 hits. He has produced 66 hits this season, good for 16th in the league.
Of course, Kunitz doesn't just hit players, but often flattens them.
"He's somebody you always have to keep an eye on," Crosby said. "Whoever has the puck always has to look over their shoulder."
Kunitz has been forced to make adjustments playing with Crosby. He is playing almost 19 minutes per game this season, well more than his career average.
Kunitz, though, doesn't mind the extra work. He is finally healthy after battling an abdominal injury most of last season and has found a chemistry with Crosby that exceeds even what they shared during the '09 Stanley Cup run.
"We just all compete so hard," said Pascal Dupuis, the other man on the top line. "Me and (Kunitz) never give up on plays. We track pucks. We create turnovers. All of us feel good right now."Additional Information:
By the numbers
Chris Kunitz's season numbers:
26 games, 7 goals, 6 assists, 13 points, +2, 66 hits
Kunitz during Sidney Crosby's 13-game point streak:
13 games, 5 goals, 2 assists, 7 points, +5, 29 hits

Chandra Sturrup: I have run my last race
For The Nassau Guardian
Published: Jun 24, 2013
FREEPORT, Grand Bahama — It has happened to the best in the world and in the words of the old adage, 'Father Time has never lost a battle'.
First there were five original 'Golden Girls' and now we are down to just one left competing. At the Bahamas Association of Athletic Associations (BAAA) National Open Track and Field Championships in Freeport, Grand Bahama, over the weekend, Chandra Sturrup made official what so many had speculated all season. She announced her retirement from the sport of track and field.
Introduced by BAAA President Mike Sands to the packed stadium in Freeport, Sturrup bellowed thanks to the many persons who supported her over the years, including family and friends, and conveyed how happy she was to be in Freeport to make the announcement.
The national record holder in the women's 100 meters (10.84 seconds) will undoubtedly go down as one of the best and most accomplished track and field athletes in the history of this country. She is easily in the top five.
Sturrup, 41, also has a personal best time of 22.33 in the 200 meters (m), and was a world-class performer in the long jump as well. She is a former World Indoor Champion over 60m, a two-time World Championships bronze medalist, a World Championships sprint relay champion and an Olympic sprint relay champion just to name a few. Sturrup has represented the country at five Olympics Games and eight consecutive World Championships starting in 1995.
In addition, she has advanced to quite a number of finals at the Olympics and World Championships, and has won numerous regional and national titles.
The final race of her storied career turned out to be The Bahamas' heat of the women's 4x100m at last year's Olympic Games. Sturrup ran the second leg for The Bahamas in that race, and the team ran a season's best time of 43.07 seconds, but failed to qualify for the final.
After that race, Sturrup said that she would announce her retirement when the time was right. Well, the time turned out to be right at the BAAA nationals in Freeport this past weekend.
From her Olympic debut at the 1996 Atlanta Games to now, Sturrup has awed spectators with her speed, her consistency and her drive to excel year after year. She took all of 2011 off, but returned in 2012 with a bang. She made another 60m final at the World Indoors in Istanbul, Turkey, finishing fifth in a season's best time of 7.19 seconds. She improved her time through the rounds, going from 7.23 in the heats, to 7.21 in the semi-finals, and finally to her 7.19 in the final.
Sturrup has accomplished it all in her career with the exception of winning an individual medal at the Olympics. It bears repeating - at age 40, she was able to finish fifth in the women's 60m at the World Indoors. After that run in Turkey, Sturrup struggled with a strained groin for the remainder of the 2012 season, but still was able to come back and win another national title in the women's 100m, and represent the country as a member of her fifth Olympic team. However, after not taking part in any races this year, one got the feeling that she might hang up the cleats for good, and she confirmed that feeling this past weekend.
The former R.M. Bailey High School athlete and alumnus of Norfolk State University, sat in obscurity while giving her retirement speech.
"I have ran my race," she said. The classy champion came to Freeport to show support for the present athletes and bid farewell for what she did best.
One might forget the success of Sturrup and the national contribution she made to the development of the sport. In 1988, a young Chandra Sturrup competed at the CARIFTA Games in Kingston, Jamaica, and won a bronze medal. That same year in The Bahamas, she competed in her first Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Junior Championships and won the gold. At the World Junior Championships in Sudbury, Canada, later that summer, she failed to make the finals of both short sprints but was strong in the semis.
Sturrup went on to become a two-time Olympic medalist in the sprint relay, and tons of regional and international medals. She was a CAC Games Champion, a three-time Sr. CAC Champion, a two-time Commonwealth games Champion, and a Pan American Games Champion.
Now a high school track and field coach in Florida, Sturrup has found a new love and she would tell you she wish she had discovered it earlier in life. Sturrup is studying Interior Decoration and her eyes turned gleeful when talking about it.
"I just love it and I really should have known this a long time ago and would have done it, but nothing happens before its time," she said.
Wanting to see the best happen for track and field in The Bahamas, Sturrup performed on the grand stage of life. It might not have been Madison Square Garden, Yankee Stadium, or at Roland Garros, but she ran on the track of champions and alongside the best athletes in the world, and was equally or better than most.
Even in success, she was incognito and preferred not to be publicized. She would rather fit in rather than stand out, but her gift and talent of running never allowed that to happen. This past weekend she said goodbye, but the people said so long and we will see you again.... whatever the next chapter may be!

Overall, very nice
Very handy and easy program to set up. Recommended for those of you (like me) who just want an easy way to delete or archive old e-mails. Works with very little setup, and not very many dependencies on other products.
My only possible suggestion for a feature for archmbox is to have a way to do regular expressions on any header, instead of the usual from, to, subject, type, etc.
This product rocks!
Gentleware, you've made a believer out of me! Why spend much $$$ for TogetherSoft or Rational when this product is available at an affordable price, with most, if not all, the same features.
Much more stable than ArgoUML, you must've put a lot of work ironing out problems, it shows. Keep up the good work..

Direct textbooks – for example Successful Direct Marketing Methods by [Bob Stone, Ron Jacobs], and The Brand Promise: How Ketel One, Costco, Make-A-Wish, Tourism Vancouver, and Other Leading Brands Make and Keep the Promise That Guarantees Success by [Duane Knapp] – are often some of the most frequently updated books by Publishing companies.

There are plenty of Direct books to rent – BookRenter has of them all!
Used book sales can be a cheap option as well, but often can be more expensive than textbook rentals. However, there are very few return policies with used books, and especially when taking Direct classes, buying a used book can be dangerous and costly.

'Fast Five' Breaks April Box Office Record
This past weekend 'Fast Five' stormed into theaters and blew the doors off. It set a new record for an April movie opening.
When I first saw the trailer for 'Fast Five' I knew that it was going to be a big favorite amongst fans of the franchise. I thought that the last movie in the series, 'Fast and Furious', was pretty good. It was way better than that stupid 'Tokyo Drift' nonsense. Now the latest n the series isn't just a crowd pleaser with tons of star power, but it is breaking box office records.
In the US alone it's debut earnings were about $84 million. Tack that together with it's $81 million made over seas and you have a new April record. It blew everything out of the water as far as it's lead. 'Rio' remains in second place making just $14 million taking it's net total to $103.6 million.
It's a good thing 'Fast Five' opened when it did because one of Marvels big dog opens up this weekend. 'Thor' hits US theaters on Friday and if not for it's big lead 'Fast Five' could be left in the dust. 'Thor' has already made $93 million over seas. It's going to be a good year for action movies.

In Britain, dance culture went into overdrive in the late 1980s, largely because of one thing: Ecstasy. As well as helping shy people dance, Ecstasy also meant that people could stay up for the entire weekend, partying at raves to acid house music. These same clubbers also needed a place to head to after the effects of the drug began to wear off. Enter the likes of Gilles Peterson, whose reputation as an eclectic DJ was forged when he started his "Sunday Sessions" club events in Camden, north London. Peterson DJs at Club Yellow in Tokyo on Sept. 16 before playing Osaka's Club Noon on Sept. 23.
Primarily a jazz fan fortunate enough to have been in the right place at the right time, Peterson's events became popular not only with Saturday-night ravers, but also a whole new generation of musicians. Acid jazz, as the burgeoning scene became known, included artists such as Brand New Heavies and Jamiroquai. And the first place to hear it was at Peterson's events.
After a stint at London radio station Kiss FM, Gilles found himself with his own show on BBC Radio 1, where he proved himself to have the most diverse taste of any DJ since John Peel.
It's an eclecticism reflected in Peterson's DJ sets that go beyond his jazz roots and into drum 'n' bass, house, and underground dance music from around the world, as evidenced on his "Worldwide" compilation and "Gilles Peterson in . . ." series of albums.
Gilles Peterson DJs at Club Yellow (www.club-yellow.com) in Nishi-Azabu, Tokyo, on Sept. 16. Admission is 4,000 yen at the door; he then plays at Club Noon (www.noon-web.com) in Osaka (3,000 yen in advance) on Sept. 23.

AN award winning Bartington business sold 15,000 scones in two weeks when they were invited to showcase their infamous afternoon tea in Japan.
Ian and Belinda Davenport, from Davenports Farmshop and Tea Room, were invited to the festival in Osaka, which celebrates the best of Great British cuisine, after winning the Tea Guild's Top Tea Place Award 2013.
And Davenports' lavender scones proved particularly popular.
"On the first day there were 40 people queuing within five minutes of us opening," said Ian. "We ended up selling 15,000 in 13 days out there.
"The festival tries to get the best place for each type of food. There was the best Cornish Pasty, best Fish and Chip shop, from Aberdeen, and us as the best Tea Room.
"It's the 43rd year they've held a festival like this one. They love everything about British food and the Alice in Wonderland theme is very popular over there.
Ian and Belinda enjoyed a taste of the celebrity lifestyle while in Japan, but faced an action-packed 13 days.
"We were top billing in the in-house paper and we kept seeing ourselves on posters in shopping precincts and the subway," added Ian.
"One couple even asked us to sign our names on a book.
"We got over to Suzuka for the Formula One and had a half day in Kyoto, but as soon as we landed after a 22-hour flight we were straight in the department store to train the Japanese chefs.
"It was brilliant though, we were rubbing shoulders with the head chef of the Goring Hotel in London, which is really popular with the Royals and renowned for doing the best afternoon teas."
Davenports' new fans have promised they will stop over in Bartington, but he believes the experience was beneficial for the tea room's suppliers, too.
"We had £6,000 worth of stock shipped out from this country, all the lavender, jam, flour etc so it had a nice knock on effect on our suppliers.
"We'd definitely go back in an instant, the people are so lovely and we must have had our photos taken 50 times a day.
"We've had loads of Facebook likes from Japanese people since we've been back and we gave out a lot of business cards. People were saying they will come to visit us in Cheshire!"

Roundtable on Reviewing
posted by Karen Burnham at Monday 12 November 2012 @ 9:32 pm BST
Karen Burnham
Reviews and reviewing. Why do we do it? Who is it for?
As always, this discussion is broken up into multiple pages for ease of reading. If you'd like to read it all on a single page, select 'View All' from the drop down menu above. If you don't see the drop down menu, please click here.
Paul Di Filippo
I personally review for two reasons: 1) to keep abreast of the field and to keep my own fiction-writing skills sharp, by critically examining the skills of other writers; and 2) as a kind of pay-forward gesture in thanks for all the great fiction I've read which has shaped me. If I can alert other readers to good stuff, I'm spreading the joy. Oh, yeah, and a paycheck doesn't hurt either!
Alan Beatts
Speaking as a bookseller (and being honest), the biggest reason I review is to sell books. Which is not to say that I'll positively review a book that I don't think is a worthwhile read. Given my position and audience, a positive review is a de facto recommendation and so I'm not going to suggest that people read something that I don't think is good. By extension, I don't write bad reviews because it's not a productive use of my time.
A secondary reason that I write reviews are to draw attention to an author or work that I think is worthy of note and may be a bit under the radar.
Finally, I write reviews to draw attention to my business by adding content that interests people (I hope) to our blog and website.
In terms of what reviews do for me — again, being honest, they allow me to talk about books that I haven't had time to read. There are so many books out there that it's simply not possible for me to even read all the ones that get a lot of attention, let alone all the ones we stock. Reviews give me a fair idea of what a book is about and help me know what books to suggest to what customers. It's certainly more accurate than publisher's catalogs or, gods help me, back cover blurbs and flap-copy.
Ellen Datlow
All my reviewing (and my editing) is an attempt to impose my taste onto readers. Let me clarify.
I write mini-reviews in my Best Horror of the Year. Some of those go into my Cemetery Dance column: "The Last Ten Books I've Read." When I started co-editing The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror I was way more negative about the books I thought were awful. After a few years, (and some negative feedback from those whose works I obviously disliked, the packager of that series (Jim Frenkel) asked me to reconsider what I was doing. His point was that 1) I was editing a "best" of the year so why include works I thought were awful in my limited space and 2) –note that this was before everything appeared and was saved on the web–that unlike a magazine, a book will last forever and that those negative reviews would be accessible for a very long time. I took his words to heart and don't write killer reviews any more.
I've also come to realize that I enjoy pushing what I consider great work on readers rather than even mention the work I hope will die the death of obscurity.
Peter Straub
When I began to review books, I did so absolutely for the money, such as it was. Later, I did it for two reasons: to draw attention to a book or writer I loved and wished to support; and to continue to take part in the ongoing cultural discussion, to add my voice to the endless argument.

Comment from Gregory Benford
Time November 13, 2012 at 2:46 am
Spot on, Stefan: "Booksellers used to rely on PW, Kirkus, and other sources when making their decisions about whether to buy a book, and in what quantity–they now get all of the information they need, often as far in advance as is necessary to make their decision, from non-vetted reviews."
A new landscape I recently learned anew when I published BOWL OF HEAVEN with Larry Niven and found that some opinionaters follow Larry around on Amazon and elsewhere to trash any collaboration he does. Maybe they want him to go back to writing novels alone?
In any case I'd never seen such a pile-on before; quite disquieting.
Thanks for this discussion of an area more important than you may know. You reviewers are still the primary way those of taste navigate these chaotic days in literature. There's a lot of great news in the liberation of genres, and a lot of turbulence too.

Greg: regarding bad reviews by readers on Amazon John Scalzi takes a certain amount of perverse joy in them:
One thing I would ask of reviewers: if you liked the book … please for the love of Cthulhu have something quotable in your review! One of the things that drive publishers of all sizes are those positive reviews that have essentially nothing quotable in them.
Comment from Robert Whitaker Sirignano
Time November 17, 2012 at 3:39 pm
There are reviewers on Amazon whose sole purpose is to be the "guy at the bottom", and trash everything they encounter. And there are the right wing relgious who slam anything that smells of liberalism, and the opposit extreme also ferments too.
I do reviews because often I find I have information to impart no one else has (like for my review of Simon's DEAD NAMES.) or to pass on that I really enjoyed something. Or there are a few things that are really awful.
You can just pick a classic title on Amazon and read the negative reviews. I suggest to go with CATCHER IN THE RYE on ON THE ROAD.

Russian author Boris Strugatsky passed away yesterday. Boris and Arkady Strugatsky were among the most famous Russian writers in SF and all of literature. One of their novels could be considered among the best in the 20th Century.

Lately my work life has been spiralling out of control. I am so exhausted every single day that I find very little motivation, let alone the energy, to do the things I love. When I come home, I take a shower and try to write or blog and before I can even come up with anything cohesive, my eyes either droop uncontrollably until I jolt into wakefulness in the middle of the night only to find out I had fallen asleep in front of the computer. Other times I simply set the computer aside in favour of sleep.
It's come to the point that I'm too weary to even get up to bake. My back is perennially in pain. My eyes are always bloodshot even on the nights I sleep early. I wake up in the mornings convincing myself I'm ready to take on the day, but by lunchtime all the energy has already leaked through my fingertips. There is always one part of every single day that I fall into this terrible bitter mood, a mood that surfaces even on the days when I'm not working. I start hating and finding fault in everyone. I start walking around with a scowl on my face… Simply put, I was turning into someone I don't want to be around. The stress and toxicity of it all is like poison running through my veins, incapacitating my willpower to fight against the swirl of all the negative emotions.
But today… Today was different. I'm not sure what changed, although my routine was very much the same as any other day. It was even a little busier than usual at work, as evidenced by the fact that I could not sit down on my desk even for 5 minutes to do a little paper work. I kept being called away for something else. And yet there was a smile on my face throughout the day. I did not once inwardly grunt in frustration, roll my eyes, envision myself pulling all my hair out. I did not once lose my temper or my patience, and I joked around a lot more.
It was strange. It was unexplainable. But I like it.
I came home tonight feeling bubbly inside. Even through the heavy rain and the flood on the streets, nothing could put a damper on my mood. I don't feel the usual exhaustion that typically falls on my shoulders around this hour. I don't feel the usual misery over this tiny piece of time I am left with to do my side-projects and hobbies and all the things I truly love. In fact, I actually feel happy about being blessed with some time to type this up right now. Looking at the big picture in my current mood, it's so easy to say that spending even a single hour full of unhappy feelings is a waste of time. Realistically though, I don't think any person can escape bad days. And why would you want to when they make you appreciate the good days so much more?
I wasn't able to bake anything in the last two weeks (I also did not feel like baking at all) so I went into my archives for something appropriate for my current mood. I have a good memory for the pockets of time I feel genuinely happy, and a lot of times they involve seemingly trivial things; such as when I pulled these madeleines out of the oven, and then when I took a bite.
I remember there being so much excitement and glee over having another new thing coming out of my oven; something that looked so plain and unadorned no less, yet were so very delicious! I confess even if I was writing this in my tired state, that wouldn't have changed the fact that these little cakelets are worth sharing.
These madeleines are my first and I loved them so much they spurred me on to collect madeleine recipes on a Pinterest board, and even to buy a book devoted on madeleines alone. I think I might just be in love with my madeleine pan too. I find that I've begun to trust David Lebovitz's recipes more and more when it comes to my first attempt at making things that are new and foreign to me. So far they have had a 100% success rate. I did it with ice cream, I did it with macarons, and now I've done it with these pretty madeleines. And boy are these madeleines fantabulous.
They have that firm bite to them while being crunchy around the edges as well as the top, where the hardened glaze adds more texture. The madeleines themselves have this lovely butteriness about them, but the lemon glaze certainly adds a wonderful scent and tang that makes them, for lack of a better word, just perfect.
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ cups (175 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder, optional *
- 1 small lemon's zest
- 9 tablespoons (120 grams) unsalted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature
- unsalted butter, melted, additional for preparing the molds
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1. Brush the indentations of a madeleine mold with melted butter. Dust with flour, tap off any excess, and place in the fridge or freezer.
- 2. In the bowl of a standing electric mixer, whip the eggs, granulated sugar, and salt for 5 minutes until frothy and thickened.
- 3. Spoon the flour and baking powder, if using, into a sifter or mesh strainer and use a spatula to fold in the flour as you sift it over the batter. Rest the bowl on a damp towel to help steady it for you.
- 4. Add the lemon zest to the cooled butter, then dribble the butter into the batter, a few spoonfuls at a time while simultaneously folding to incorporate the butter. Fold just until all the butter is incorporated.
- 5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, up to 12 hours.
- 6. To bake the madeleines, preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).
- 7. Remove madeleine pans from the fridge. Plop the batter in the center of each indentation until it is about 3/4′s full. Do not spread it. Bake for 8 to 9 minutes or until the cakes just feel set. If browner tops are preferred, these can be baked on the upper-third of the oven.
- 8. While the cakes are baking, in a medium bowl, stir together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and water until smooth.
- 9. Once baked, remove pan from the oven and tilt the madeleines out onto a cooling rack. The moment they're cool enough to handle, dip each cake in the glaze, turning them over to make sure both sides are coated and scrape off any excess with a dull knife. After dipping, rest each one back on the cooking rack, scalloped side up, until the cakes are cool and the glaze has firmed up.
- Storage: Glazed madeleines are best left uncovered, or not tightly-wrapped; they're best eaten the day they're made. They can be kept in a container for up to three days after baking, if necessary. I don't recommend freezing them since the glaze will melt.
- * If using baking powder, madeleines may take another minute or so to bake since the batter will rise higher. They're done when the cakes feel just set if you poke them with your finger. Avoid overbaking them.
Today, I'm okay. Tomorrow I will be even better.

It looks like Microsoft has won a significant victory in its ongoing campaign to exert its claims over some of the key intellectual property in the Linux open source operating system.
Late on Monday, it announced a patent cross-licensing deal with Amazon. Among other things, this will cover the e-commerce company's use of Linux in its servers. That is a big deal: given Amazon's ambitions to become one of the biggest operators of public computing "clouds", this amounts to a major endorsement of Microsoft's claims over some of the core IP in Linux.
There is a caveat, though: the announcement was short on detail. And that is sure to bring accusations that the software company is once again using FUD to scare other Linux users into submission. Read more

As with all Air Jordan Forces and Jordan Brand hybrids in general, the Air Jordan Force IX (AJF9) has polarized the sneakerhead community. Some feel they shouldn't be done, while others appreciate a breath of new life into what was perhaps the most overlooked shoe in the entire Air Jordan line. Hate it or love it, the AJF9 is picking up steam as we rapidly approach the first releases in April.
On the 11th of that month, we'll see the first two pairs released. These are pretty similar: white upper and outsole, black tongue and lining. The main difference is that one features a red midsole, lacelocks and heel accent, while the other is university blue. Moving forward into May, a pair in tonal black with a red lining, heel strap and midsole stitch will release on the 9th as the only one for that month. What appears to be the final one for now drops on June 6th, and is quite similar to the one just before it. The main differences here are the white midsole, tongue and outsole on the June joints. Take a look at all the pics after the jump and decide if you wanna set aside some cash for any of all of these when the time(s) come.

[ Thanks to LinuxDevices.com for this link. ]
"In an IBM announcement earlier this week about the IBM Linux Wrist Watch project, IBM made a strong point about their growing use of Linux in projects ranging from the tiny Linux Wrist Watch, all the way up to a "petaflop super computer."
"What's a petaflop? How do you make a petaflop super computer?"
"Alex Morrow, "IBM Fellow" at IBM's TJ Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, New York, and project leader of the IBM Linux Wrist Watch project shed some light on those questions in an interview with LinuxDevices.com's Rick Lehrbaum..."

First things first, I'm a single dad and have my son full time during the weeks. His mom has the weekends. So free time during the weeks is a little scarce but weekends are free :)
I'm a originally from Memphis, TN. I relocated here with my job a few years ago, but still consider myself a newbie to Florida... and yes I LOVE Elvis, because in Memphis it's a requirement. I also, love watching live concerts, funny movies, and pretty much anything artistic or wildly creative. I'm pretty quiet and reserved around most people, but depends on the place and what not and how well I know someone. I'm not as quiet as I seem at first! I've hit a couple of relationship snags along the road, but in 2007 I was blessed with my son... the most amazing thing that's ever happened to me. So I feel that life can be tough, but everything happens for a reason and I always look for the silver lining. I think I've learned quite a lot about myself and what's really important in life and I really appreciate the small simple things.
I'm looking for someone real. Someone with a big heart, who's smart and goal driven, but also fun and goofy sometimes. Someone who knows who they are and the type of person they want, who doesn't like games and who is able to communicate openly what they want.
I'd like to meet someone cool and laid back to hang out with and take it from there. Of course I'd love to meet someone to start something fantastic and serious with, but you gotta start somewhere, right? ;)
Favorite books - I should read more, really :/
Favorite TV shows - Random in no order... TWD, Breaking Bad, Fargo, Better Call Saul, SNL, The Americans, old sitcoms, bad reality TV, and I'm strangely addicted to HG network. I bought a house last year so I think I'm trying to absorb some DYI skills or something.
Favorite music - lately I'm listening to a lot of ska, punk and 80s rock. i mix it up pretty regularly. Ask me in a month and it will be totally different. I absolutely love Pandora and Spotify. I also have a ton of vinyl records. I'm not sure why exactly, but I love them. There's something to actually being able to hold the music you own.

my iPhone
Seinfeld reruns (ha. not really)

FCC gives thumbs up to Palm Pixi with Wi-Fi heading for Verizon
This article contains unofficial information.
Palm Pixi Specifications | Review
source: FCC via Engadget
9 Comments

I think that Palm has some of the most loyal customers in the industry. I have people all the time that call up and say they would rather stick with some broken, outdated Palm than switch to another OS. I think the device will be successful to Palm users, but a less impactful effect for people to switch from a Blackberry, or any other OS to the PIXI.
2. DonLouie (Posts: 594; Member since: 22 Dec 2008)
I knew they were going to get it and even one-upped Sprint with WiFi. If their version of the Pre is better too, that'll cause a big stink
3. BrokenImaege (Posts: 173; Member since: 27 Jul 2009)
I don't see this having the impact people think it will have. Reps will still push Droid due to reliability and now the return/exchange decelerator they get if a device is exchanged or returned. The Pre may get some customers, but nothing will have the impact Droid did unless it is an IPhone product.
4. VZW_Phone_Whore (Posts: 18; Member since: 11 Oct 2009)
Boo, palm sux, hardest phones to push out.
5. MarcMaiden (Posts: 25; Member since: 24 Nov 2009)
i thought the pre series (pre/pixi) was a good phone that was released on the wrong network, and at the wrong time. The multitasking feature it had was great, but honestly it doesnt do anything the droid cant do. If palm pushed out more phones with the WebOS on it. maybe there would be more apps, and maybe it would be popular but for now, i will stick with android
6. DonLouie (Posts: 594; Member since: 22 Dec 2008)
In 5 months they have 2 devices, Android only had the G1 til this year. I like the look of Web OS better myself, with a growing app catalog (675 at last count) and probably more devices and carriers selling them it'll do nothing but get better
7. vzw fanman (Posts: 1976; Member since: 11 Dec 2008)
i don't like the palm os.
8. AZNphoneGeek (Posts: 200; Member since: 15 May 2009)
to sum it up, i think the web OS is more playfull and is fun to use. the android may be a little more productive but the damm thing is made by motorola. anyone who has any insight into handsets knows their quality control has gone down the tubes. i can't think of a good reliable handset that has come out in years except for maybe some older nextel devices. Sprint was an excelent platform for WebOS as is Verizon because both networks ARE fast and service overall is good. WebOS on american gsm networks would be a joke. any haters of the new palm devices that have preconcieved ideas on how they actual work, go check them out and play with em. The reason the iPhone is so popular is NOT because of the damm app store, it's because when you use it, it grows on you and you have fun JUST USING your phone. same with the palms.... no t so much with android.

There will be a new face representing Silver Creek Township on the hospital board.
Douglas Schneider earned that right by picking up 527 votes and 43.63 percent of the votes to beat out Alyas Masih and incumbent Brian Doyle, according to the Minnesota Secretary of State website.
Schneider has lived in the Monticello area his entire life and, along with his wife, currently owns and operates Kustom Blinds & Draperies. He served on the Monticello-Big Lake Community Hospital Board of Directors from 2005-2008 and as treasurer for two of those years. Schneider is also the current supervisor for the Silver Creek Township Board.
Schneider has said that he believes some changes need to be made to the current 501c3 aggreement and that in order to help fix the budget shortfall the hospital needs to review services and possibly reopen some areas that have been shut down, including the birthing center.
Doyle, the incumbent earned 483 votes, finishing just over 3.5 percentage points behind Schneider, while Masih, a family practitioner at the Monticello Clinic, picked up 192 votes. Write-in candidates accounted for six votes.

Matthew Ford is this week's MenOver30 morsel. Originally from Kentucky, Matthew just got into the industry on a fluke this year, and it's working out really well. �I like sex, what can I say?� Knowing there will be thousands watching him once he's done is enough to get him rock hard and ready. See, Matthew's a bit of an exhibitionist. It totally turns him on being filmed either in an action scene or even during his first solo ever ...which he's about to do for us. He's 42 and a big Southern boy! He has broad shoulders, flanked by large biceps that frame his wide furry chest. His look is very masculine, down to the throw back handle-bar 'stache. His face is masculine with a squared jaw and a sexy cleft in his chin. He is energetic, and his face lights up when he flashes his down-home southern smile. We can't wait to see what this slice of Kentucky has to offer. Besides, we could all use a lil KY now and then.Matthew starts fondling his swelling cock through his jeans, tugging at it and shaking it to get it rock hard. He tweaks his hard nips, working them both at the same time to get the juices flowing. He spits on them and flicks them as he slowly takes off his t-shirt. He stands and undoes his jeans as he continues working his tits. He mutters under his breath about how much he loves having his tits worked, clamped down on, and bitten. He grunts as he squeezes one hard, as he pulls down his jeans far enough to send his rock hard cock springing free. He strokes his hard cock and squeezes out some precum to sample. Mr. Ford's a dirty, dirty boy! He tugs on his low hanging nuts and drops his pants. He turns around to show us his smooth ass. He has a big tatt of a seal that reads USDA PRIME�a fitting tattoo for the beefcake southerner. He bends over and gives us a show of his backdoor. Then Matthew sits back to show us more, as he begin to play with his cock and slowly explore his asshole. He grunts and groans as he pleasures himself.He shoves fingers up his ass as he strokes and he is loving every minute of it. His cock is rock hard as he teases his hole and works his nipples which are now just as hard as his cock. He spreads his legs wide and goes to town on his furry hole. The more he rubs his hole, the louder he moans as his legs slowly head North. Hmmm. Nothing's left out as he jerks his meat. His hot ass, throbbing cock, low hanging nuts, his erect nips�you name it ...He works it! And Matthew's not the quiet type. He's extremely verbal, which only adds to the visual before you. All this stroking and tweaking and fingering have Matthew too close to stop, and his climax is seconds away. He goes back to work on his cock and readily shoves a finger deep inside to trigger his explosion. Trigger it it does, as he groans aloud blasting his nut on his furry navel. There really ain't nothing quite like a lil Southern Hospitality now is there? We have a feeling we'll be seeing more of Mr. Ford, and soon!

Pretoria - The national government will give some municipalities money for RDP houses, the human settlements department said on Friday.
This would cut the red-tape they currently had to go through to get housing funds from the provincial government, said department spokesman Xolani Xundu.
Accreditation and the assignment of the housing delivery function to capable municipalities were among the issues discussed at a meeting co-chaired by Human Settlements Minister Tokyo Sexwale and Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs Minister Richard Baloyi on Friday.
The meeting was attended by all MECs responsible for human settlements and local government, and all members of mayoral committees responsible for housing.
Xundu said the decision would affect about 16 municipalities, and that there would be ongoing support for other municipalities to also get national government accreditation.
Municipalities would be deemed to be capable based on their budget, financial status, track record, ability to spend and housing planning, he said.
"The meeting agreed on a time-frame that will see certain municipalities receiving accreditation before the 2014 deadline as stipulated in the Service Delivery Agreement the two Ministers (Tokyo Sexwale and Richard Baloyi) signed with President Jacob Zuma," said Xundu.
The process would result in billions of rand flowing to municipalities, and would speed up the delivery of services, he said. - Sapa

Are you worried you might run out of money?
So, you have likely already worried about saving money FOR retirement. And, now it is time to worry about saving money – or reducing your expenses – in retirement.
When living on a fixed income in retirement, it is very important to make sure that your income does not exceed expenses. Living more frugally can be done no matter your income bracket. And while the idea of a more modest lifestyle may not appeal to you, it may be necessary – and not as bad as you had expected.
Here are a few tips for managing your budget:
Too many seniors are genuinely struggling to make ends meet. A survey by the Senior Citizens League (TSCL) found that 42 percent of seniors had either postponed filling their medication or were taking a smaller dosage than prescribed. This no longer as prevelant, thanks to the institution of Medicare Part D, but is still occurring.
While prescription drugs can be incredibly expensive, it is not safe to alter your prescriptions without the guidance of a doctor.
If you are having a hard time paying for prescription drugs, you may want to explore alternate prescription drug coverage. Consult with an insurer about Medicare supplemental plans that might help you.
In order to reduce expenses, it is best to get a very clear understanding of exactly how you are spending your money. Try keeping a record – in a notebook, a spreadsheet, a software program or on your phone – of EVERY dollar you spend. Many people are surprised to learn how much little things add up over the course of a month.
When living in retirement on a fixed-income, you will not have more money tomorrow to pay off the debt than you do today. It is usually best to eliminate any debt as fast as possible to save money.
For example:
Reducing your debt represents a huge opportunity to reduce your expenses in the long run.
Housing costs are usually by far the single biggest expenditure for any household. As such, your mortgage or rent represents a significant opportunity to reduce your monthly expenses.
Sodas, lunch out, coffee, water bottles, lottery tickets, daily paper and other low cost items are everyday expenses for millions of retirees. However, these items are not necessary. And even though the daily costs are small, the total expense over a year could represent a significant savings.
A dollar a day is $365 a year!
You might start by benchmarking your gas and electric expenditures. Call your service provider and ask them to compare your spending to other households in your area. Your service provider can also probably provide ideas for how you could reduce your usage.
Raising your thermostat in summer and lowering it in the winter, turning off lights, using energy efficient light bulbs and unplugging devices when not in use are easy ways to reduce your bill.
Again, benchmark your household against others in your area by consulting your water provider. And ask the utility for cost cutting tips.
Low flow toilets, fixing leaks, reducing the need to water plants with efficient landscaping are a few considerations.
Auto insurance, homeowners insurance, and cell phone service are all highly competitive industries. As such you may be able shop around and find a less expensive option than your current provider.
Some services may be able to help you find a less expensive option:
Even with Medicare, health costs can be astronomical in retirement. The right Medicare Supplemental plan can help you keep these expenditures under control. Consult with an insurer about whether or not your insurance is optimized.
The Senior Citizens League (TSCL) recently found that 77 percent of seniors had reduced spending on food items.
Indeed, food can be a relatively easy way to reduce expenses. Eat at home and be vigilant at the grocery store to find the best deals.
In addition to traditional coupons found in newspapers, flyers and magazines, there are myriad web sites that enable you to find the latest coupons for all kinds of stores.
Most of these sites are searchable and are well worth a visit before you make any kind of purchase. Just try doing a google search for "coupon" and the store where you would like to shop or the product you would like to buy. You are almost guaranteed to find some kind of savings.
Or, try going directly to some of these sites:
Your local library can be a tremendous source of free entertainment. Books as well as movies can be borrowed without any cost at all.
Drinking and smoking and even candy bars can be terrible for your health. They can also be BIG budget busters.
There are numerous web sites devoted to frugal living. Visit a few of these sites every month or so to help you think of ways to reduce your spending:
Or, browse and share tips in NewRetirement Answers.

|1,170 sq. ft.
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 - 7 nights
A place for your family to remember for generations. Cape Cod style cottage looks directly down Lake Huron on the Straits of Mackinac. Sand Beach. Four bedrooms, one bath. Home is in pristine condition,
Located on a 100 ft. sandy beach with incredible views of the Straits. Watch the freighters go by while swimming in crystal clear water. A Boater's paradise. Back yard is heavily treed, growing wildflowers and miniture purple iris.
Find unbelievable fossils along the shoreline, or catch the deer, turkey or fox as they walk by! The home is 1170 sq ft, completely furnished, washer/dryer, with a 24 x 10 screened in porch. Electric baseboard heat, anderson thermopane windows. Take a ferry from Cheboygan, Michigan or fly in. During the winter months enjoy flying in and riding your snowmobile. This is the family cottage you have always wanted to visit!
We spent our honeymoon here and couldn't have chosen a better place to unwind. We love the island so very much. Took it all in daily. Coffee every morning on the beach, looking for sea glass (which we didn find) and so many fossils. Went to the Bible beach, explored many roads just to see where we would end up. Played shuffle board at the BobLo Tavern. Linda couldn't have been more accommodating and we are looking forward to coming back again.
Love love love this place. We are coming back for sure, in fact we want to live there, forever...
This was one of the better vacation getaways we have had in a few years. The house was clean, beds were comfortable, and there was plenty enough available in the home to cook, clean laundry, and relax.
The beach was wonderful, and the sunrises were beautiful, along with the freighters passing through. We had a long four day weekend stay with beautiful weather. There is plenty to do, enjoying the refreshing "COLD" water on Lake Huron, hiking, fishing, and canoeing.
I would highly recommend staying here and we will be coming again. Linda has a very accommodating home, perfect place to stay on vacation.
The Marsh's
First off, the view from the house, of the beach, was absolutely beautiful. You saw the sun rise in the morning from the living room and a great view of the stars at night. The screened porch was great for just lounging back with some cocktails, enjoying the sound of the waves and breezes off the lake. The beach is literally about 150ft away from the house. Water was clear. It's about a quarter mile arc of sandy/pebbly beach with just 3 cottages. The cottage is at the end of the 3, so there is plenty of beach for kids to play on. Lots of sea animal fossils are on the shore line if you look for them. There are board games at the house plus some old movies for the kids (Aladdin/Matilda). We were told by the locals in Cheboygan that this island was "rugged and wild". They weren't kidding. We saw wild turkeys, a couple of does with fawns, and swans in the morning, right in front of the big window of the house. The main roads are packed dirt covered with gravel with trails leading into the dense forest in the center of the island. I have a Land Rover and I was putting it through its paces getting through the trails. There are no lights on the main roads. This is not a small island. I drove for 9 miles on the main road circling the island before I had to turn around and go back (kids were getting hungry). I had covered about a quarter of the island. No issue with cell phone reception (LTE). There is a land line phone in the cottage for emergencies. Bring cash with you to dispose of the garbage on the island ($2) per bag (about 28 gallon bags). Issue we had was with biting flies at the beach, but only for 2 days there, and the provided fly swatters made sure they didn't come back. Overall it was a great family experience.
surprised to see the cottage looks exactly as appears on this site. The house was well stocked with all the things you would need at the lake. General Store was great and had reasonable prices. We saw 30 plus deer in the week we were there. Caught some fish on Lake Mary. Found that we didn't have the necessary equipment to catch big fish on Lake Huron. Was told there was no one who charters on the island. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay in this home.
House is close to the ferry, Hawks Landing, Twin Lakes and Thompson Lake. The house is on a sandy beach which was great for our kids. House was clean and well stocked. Owner was quick to respond to questions and had everything ready to go. We had a great time and are hoping we have time to get back again next year.
Stayed here four days with three other couples. Great location only two miles from the ferry dock and a 1/4 mile to Bob-Lo Tavern. Beds were good, the house was well furnished except for hand towels in the bathroom. One bath, but plenty of room for all. Nice screened in porch and awesome views of the lake. I would stay here again anytime!!
Boating, swimming, fishing, reading, walking and just plain relaxation!

I started a Tumblr blog to collect stories of violence committed against women who refused men's advances (full background story here), and 24 hours into this project, we've received some incredible sets of traffic and engagement numbers. Put your nerd pants on, kids, we're going for a ride.
Really don't think I've ever participated in a project that got this sheer kind of volume right away. Read more →

BOTH of Bridgwater Town's league matches against Yate Town and North Leigh were postponed this week as Fairfax Park was waterlogged.
The team are on a rich run of form at the moment, with wins in each of their last five league outings - and without a goal conceded.
But a spokesman from the club said parts of the pitch are saturated and considered 'dangerous to play on' by referees when they are called in to make a pitch inspection.
They added: "Several factors have caused our current predicament - firstly the wet summer which results in the water table not going down as in other years.
"Secondly, development around us which has replaced grass areas that used to soak up rainfall, and thirdly, the period of wet weather we have been experiencing over the past couple of months.
"This, coupled with the volume of matches we have tried to play on the pitch in less than ideal conditions, has seen a rapid deterioration in the pitch and now we are suffering for it.
"Our groundsman is pulling his hair out with worry wondering what to do but we simply cannot beat the weather.
"Our pitch drainage is working - albeit slower than usual - when it is given the chance and what we need is a week of no rain and a nice driving wind."
The club have to accommodate the first team, reserves, under 18s, ladies team and Bridgwater College fixtures at the height of the season.
The first team's next planned is away to sixth placed Cirencester Town for a 3pm kick off on Saturday.
