Do you like putting on an apron and making a delicious snack for your family? How about helping out at the stove, stirring and sniffing the sweet smells? Or making cookies by cutting out your favorite shapes?
Although making food is fun, it's important to know how to be safe. This means knowing when to get the help of an adult assistant, how to keep things clean, and how to use the kitchen safely. Let's get cookin'!
If you've ever seen a cooking show on TV, you know that all the best chefs have an assistant to help them out. If you're a kid, an adult assistant can come in handy to make cooking easier and keep you safe.
Before beginning any recipe, get an adult's permission to work in the kitchen. If your recipe uses knives, the stove, or other kitchen appliances, you must have some adult help. Some things that adults use in the kitchen may seem simple to operate, but once you use them yourself, you might be surprised by how difficult they actually are. By having your assistant around, you can avoid surprises, stay safe, and have fun while you cook.
Wearing an apron will keep your clothes clean. If you don't have an apron, an old shirt will do. But don't wear anything that's big and loose. Baggy sleeves or clothes could catch fire or get caught in mixer beaters or other equipment.
A big part of safe cooking is keeping the chef and the kitchen clean. The idea is to keep germs, which can make you sick, out of your food. Always wash your hands with soap and water immediately before you begin any recipe. This is especially important for recipes that involve touching the food directly, like kneading dough or mixing ingredients with your hands.
Also be sure to wash your hands before and after handling raw meat, poultry, egg, and fish products because these foods can contain bacteria. You don't want that bacteria getting on your hands because then they could end up in your mouth — yuck!
You also can fight germs by keeping your working surfaces (like countertops and cutting boards) clean and dry. Wash them with soap and warm water after you're done cooking.
Leftovers are great, but you don't want germs in them either. Ask your adult assistant for help in storing any leftovers. Food may be refrigerated or frozen to keep it fresh. Eat refrigerated leftovers within 3 to 4 days. Frozen leftovers are safe but lose flavor when stored longer than 3 or 4 months.
You have your ingredients neatly lined up, your hands washed, and your measuring spoons out. But before you start, it's a good idea to learn a few rules of the kitchen. It's easy to get injured in the kitchen if you're not careful, and a cut or burn will put an end to your fun cooking session.
Always ask your adult assistant if you can use blenders, food processors, knives, or other sharp kitchen tools. If you're allowed to use a knife, point the blade away from yourself and keep your fingers away from the blade when you're cutting. Give the job your full attention — no looking at the TV for a quick second or yelling to your sister. Your adult assistant should be nearby to keep an eye on what you're doing.
The same goes for the stove or oven: Get permission first and be sure your adult assistant is nearby to watch you.
Here are some ways to keep from getting burned:
Did you know there are special schools where grownups go to learn how to cook? That's because cooking is an art and it takes time and practice to learn how to do it.
If you're just starting out, it can take a while before you learn how to crack an egg or cook the pasta until it's just right. You'll figure it out — with a little help from your adult assistant!

Find Me Around the Web
I've found some interesting articles around the web recently that mention me or my blog, and while I don't try to be comprehensive in linking to everything that mentions my name, I thought these were compelling enough on their own to be worth reading.
- Ross Mayfield's Twitter Tips the Tuna. I think the title is an unfortunately awkward parallel to "jumping the shark", but the title is the only part of the piece that's off -- the rest is really great. Ross has already done a few posts about Twitter's popularity and I'm glad to see someone who knows what he's talking about become the go-to guy for quotes on a new web technology. Ross' post references my own Consider Twitter.
- Jason Calacanis, More proof that there is no A-list. Inexplicably, I'm on there mentioned as an A-list blogger. The whole "A-list" meme was tired back in 2000, but now it's kind of sweetly anachronistic to even talk about it. For what it's worth, my blog is far less popular than it was at its zenith of readership, and the blogosphere is far more crowded. So I don't know how useful I am as a data point, except to note that yes, I was "a low-level webmonkey at the Village Voice" before my current job, and that, yes the barriers to entry are lower than some people imagine them to be. Four years ago, when my blog was still relatively popular, I wrote Beyond Power Laws. The post reminds me that I used to be a snob about LiveJournal before I started using it and loving it, but it also featured some tips on how to make your blog popular:
* Consider having started your site in 1998 or 1999
* Know a whole lot of people and consider becoming real-life friends with people who have popular sites or are involved in the media
* Get on TV and in newspapers as frequently as possible to promote your site, because those really help drive traffic
* Make sure to insist that you are smart and attractive if you can't actually demonstrate those traits through your site
- Jeremiah Owyang has a list of Asian technology speakers. It's an interesting effort, but I've seen people over the definition of "female" on lists of female technology speakers -- I don't envy the task of defining who belongs to the diaspora of the largest continent on Earth.
- And saving the goofiest for last, Blog Spring in Wired: "Look! There's Anil Dash of dashes.com". Here I am!

Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has warned his players that anyone who does not treat each game with the utmost seriousness will find themselves out of the team.
Madrid have made an inconsistent start to the new season, putting in unimpressive performances while taking just four points from their first three La Liga matches but raising their game to defeat Barcelona in the Spanish Supercopa.
In an interview published in Friday's edition of Spanish sports newspaper AS, Mourinho said that players who picked and chose when to perform would be in for a shock when bigger matches came around.
"I will tell my players that you cannot just be at your best for a certain game or against a certain opponent," Mourinho said. "To be at our best in the Champions League we must also be at our best in La Liga and in the Copa del Rey. This means each game does not just have one objective, to win, but also to look for improvement and progress.
"If I detect that someone does not understand that - for example if someone holds back in La Liga thinking about the Champions League - they will get a surprise and not play the Champions League."
The ex-Chelsea boss said that his side's patchy start to the season was more likely due to the players' international commitments this summer rather than anyone resting on their laurels after winning last season's Spanish title.
"The inconsistent start of La Liga I blame more on the efforts of this summer at the Euros," he said. "You must have a little patience, although I do not like my players thinking I am a patient coach in case they relax.
"All the teams with a lot of internationals at Euro 2012 or the Olympics could have begun the season better - Manchester United, Chelsea, Barcelona, Porto, Benfica... Almost all the big teams who have not been able to have a complete pre-season are having difficulties."

Fox: Cleopatra, Alfie & Riga
These are our 3 little fox cubs who are growing incredibly fast - Cleopatra, Alfie & Riga. They get up to a lot of mischief together!
Cleopatra, was found near Tweseldown Racecourse by a friendly labrador. The lady who owned the labrador thought Cleopatra was a guineapig so she contacted a rescue with lots of them. Needless to say, upon arrival it was quickly found out that she was actually a little fox in need of food and TLC and here she is ready to receive just that! She hasn't let the long journey to and from rescues deter her from eating and she is currently snuggled up in lots of blankets. Hopefully we will get in some friends for her too.
Cleopatra has now started to get a hint of red to her face and is growing incredibly fast. She is such a cute cub but she won't be so small for long!
Good morning, good Friday! Last night was Cleo's last night in the rescue. Today sees Cleo and her friends go into our large, outside pre-release runs. We will, of course, miss their early morning antics and loud chorus whilst waiting for breakfast. Don't worry, we will follow their progress very closely by using trap cameras to monitor everything they get up to.
These three cubs were released from our outside runs on site. They went into it for a good few weeks before we opened the doors for them. They started to dig their own dens and we could see them all playing on the trap cameras which was lovely.We are still leaving food out for them and will continue to do so over the next couple of weeks while they settle in completely.
Here is a picture we took of them settling into the house in their pre-release run. They look like they are having fun and settled in well!
Thank you so, so much to all those who have supported us by sending in much needed items for these guys! We - and the foxes - really do appreciate it. We are still in need of lots of Esbilac & food as we continue to see more fox cubs and other orphans throughout the year.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senators Thad Cochran and Roger Wicker, with Representative Alan Nunnelee, today asked U.S. diplomatic and trade representatives to help protect the interests of an American company, while dysfunction at a joint venture in China poses risks to U.S. jobs in Northeast Mississippi and elsewhere.
The Republican lawmakers from Mississippi are among a bipartisan, bicameral group that Wednesday sent a letter to Secretary of State John Kerry, Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker and U.S. Trade Representative Ambassador Mike Froman urging them to address ongoing problems experienced by the Cooper Tire and Rubber Company at upcoming U.S.-China Joint Committee on Commerce and Trade (JCCT) meetings. The Dec. 19-20 meetings in Beijing will be chaired by Pritzker, Froman and their Chinese counterparts.
"We write today with deep concern about a serious issue Cooper Tire & Rubber Company is facing at its joint venture in China which has put the entire company at risk, including more than 5,000 jobs in the United States, and which has serious implications for all American businesses with interests and investments in China. We respectfully request your assistance in resolving this urgent matter," the letter said.
Cooper Tire, with a Chinese partner, operates a joint venture factory in Shandong Province, China, that since June 2013 has experienced work stoppages and other actions that threaten the entire company. Efforts to resolve the deteriorating situation have been unsuccessful. The disruption has derailed the production process and forced Cooper to violate regulatory obligations, which could potentially have broad impacts on its U.S. operations and its 5,000 U.S. workers. The company employs 1,300 workers at its Tupelo facility.
Additional excerpts from the letter state:
"Cooper has been facing a series of actions in violation of its rights as the majority owner of the joint venture…These actions have included, initially, two 5,000-employee work stoppages and, subsequently, labor actions including forced occupation of the CCT production facility; denial of access for Cooper and its appointed members of CCT management to the facility, financial data, and personal property; workers' refusal to input financial and production data into CCT systems in accordance with internal operating procedure; workers' refusal to produce Cooper-branded products; and the unlawful appropriation of company chops and registration documents."
"In response to these actions, Cooper has requested assistance from Chinese government authorities at all levels, has appealed to local police, and has attempted to seek justice in local courts of law, but the situation continues. Cooper management has made multiple attempts to … reach a resolution. … At this point, the situation remains unresolved and Cooper has suffered considerable losses."
The letter to the U.S. officials was spearheaded by Senators Rob Portman (R-Ohio) and Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio). In addition to Cochran, Wicker and Nunnelee, the correspondence was signed by Senator John Boozman (R-Ark.), Representative Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), Representative Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Representative Bob Latta (R-Ohio) and Senator Mark Pryor (D-Ark.).

Shaw's system steadily sinking in for Nuggets
DENVER (AP) -- Every so often, Brian Shaw watches the Denver Nuggets revert back to their old fast-paced tendencies.
The first-year coach doesn't particularly mind or get all that miffed, realizing that all of those years of pushing the tempo under George Karl can't be changed in one training camp.
By the time January rolls around - maybe the All-Star break, at the latest - Shaw envisions his team fully embracing his system, one that hinges on half-court sets, a powerful presence in the paint and smothering defense.
Until that time, Shaw's willing to overlook some of the growing pains that go along with the transition as he steps in for Karl, who was ousted after winning a franchise-best 57 games last season only to be bounced from the first round of the playoffs for a fourth straight time.
''We know that they're going to fall back into the ways that they know,'' said Shaw, a longtime assistant coach with the Los Angeles Lakes and Indiana Pacers before joining Denver. ''So I guess it comes down to this: If it works, it's OK. If it doesn't, try it the way we're trying to get you to do it. For the most part, it's a process that's going to take time. But they're getting it.''
This carries a lot of clout, too: Shaw has five NBA championship rings - two as an assistant coach and three as a player. His players are soaking up his brand of basketball because it's ''championship-caliber basketball,'' Randy Foye said.
''You look at those teams that always get up and down, and do a lot of great things in the regular season, in the playoffs that ain't happening,'' added Foye, who was acquired in a sign-and-trade deal that landed swingman Andre Iguodala with Golden State. ''The playoffs are grind-it-out basketball: Who can score after a timeout and then who can get a stop after a timeout. That's something he's trying to teach us.''
Here are five things to know as the Nuggets begin the Brian Shaw era:
GALLO'S GONE FOR NOW: Danilo Gallinari, one of Denver's best perimeter shooters, won't be back until at least December as he recovers from a knee injury. The Italian forward had a team-leading 135 3-pointers a year ago. ''We will try to hold down the fort until he comes back,'' Shaw said. ''I know he's been working hard trying to get back on the floor and help us, but his knee will tell us (when he's ready).'' Wilson Chandler is expected to step in for Gallinari, but he's been hobbled by a strained left hamstring.
EXECUTIVE DECISIONS: It was a tumultuous offseason for the Nuggets as general manager Masai Ujiri bolted for a similar role in Toronto and Karl was let go. Now it's up to general manager Tim Connelly and Shaw to guide the Nuggets. ''This league is defined by change and how you react to change,'' Connelly said. ''There's way, way more good there than bad. We're both very fortunate to be in these seats.''
HEIGHT OF THE MATTER: Shaw may use short but speedy point guards Nate Robinson and Ty Lawson in the same backcourt at times this season. That's giving up a lot of height, though, since Robinson is just a generous 5-foot-9 and Lawson 5-11. ''It's heart over height,'' said Robinson, a free-agent pickup after averaging 13.1 points with the Chicago Bulls last season. ''I'm really a big man at heart. I'm just stuck in this 5-9 frame. I'm really 7 foot.''
MCGEE'S BIG MOMENT: The biggest beneficiary in Shaw's half-court system may be athletic center JaVale McGee. The ball will definitely move through McGee, which is why he's been working on his low-post moves. Shaw hopes McGee can be the Nuggets' version of Roy Hibbert, the Indiana center whom Shaw helped mentor as an assistant with the Pacers. ''I told (McGee) what I expect of him and he's trying to deliver that,'' Shaw said. ''At this point, he seems to take himself a lot more serious than he appeared to in the past. That's a good thing. If he wants everyone else to take him seriously, he has to take himself seriously first.''
SHOOT THE BALL: Shaw is encouraging his team to be a little more selfish and take the open shots. He doesn't want his team passing up shots simply to drive closer to the basket. ''Last year, they wanted to get everything to the rim,'' Shaw said. ''Some of our turnovers in games have been us passing up open shots for what we perceive to be better shots and we end up traveling. I've been on the guys to shoot the ball when you're open.''

Meanwhile, Windows Server 2003 strives for high performance, high reliability and high safety under the acute demand of increasingly complicated enterprise applications and Internet applications.

Building a nest, laying and incubating eggs and taking care of a hungry brood are very demanding on birds´ energy budgets, so it is obviously in their interests to ensure that the young they are caring for are their own. Brood parasitism sometimes makes this a difficult proposition: strangers - either of their own kind or of another species - might want a free ride and deposit their eggs into ready-made nests. The reluctant "hosts" pay a high cost. At the very least, they waste energy on unrelated offspring, while at worst their own eggs or hatchlings are killed by parasitic chicks.
Motivation check
Strategies to avoid egg dumping vary from species to species. Birds might count eggs or recognize foreign eggs by variation in colour or size and if possible reject them. But recognizing foreign eggs is not always easy and not all species or individuals succeed. Some birds do not seem to discern even obvious differences, while some that do are physically unable to eject the strange eggs. Even when hosts manage to eject eggs from the nest, their motivation for doing so is unclear. Are they keeping the nest "sanitized" for their brood or are they attempting to prevent parasitism?
The tree sparrow (Passer montanus) seems to have evolved strong variation in egg colouration and size between clutches, probably to enhance its ability to discriminate parasitic eggs from its own. To test for the ability to recognise conspecific eggs, Herbert Hoi and colleagues at the Konrad Lorenz Institute of Ethology of the University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna introduced both real eggs and cardboard models into the nests of tree sparrows. The scientists used flat objects to ensure the birds would easily be able to remove the fake "eggs" if they wanted to (flat objects are easier to grasp with the beak than round ones). To investigate which features made ejection more likely, they included model eggs with features that are not typical of tree sparrow eggs.
The researchers also checked for the sparrows' motivation for ejecting eggs by introducing the models either at the time of egg-laying or during incubation. "If the motivation is to defend against egg-dumping, we would expect egg ejection to happen largely when the females are laying eggs," explains Hoi. "If they do it during incubation, they probably just want to keep the nest clean for their hatchlings." In two related experiments, the researchers tested the consequences of adding eggs to 30 nest boxes during egg laying and to another 30 during incubation, first using real eggs and then using flat paper models.
Tree sparrows keep their nests clean
The birds removed foreign eggs from the nest in about a third of cases in the first experiment, although the remainder accepted and continued to incubate parasitic eggs. When flat models were used, 81% of the objects were quickly thrown out, regardless of the time of introduction. The results point to an anti-parasite behaviour, albeit an imperfect one. The birds sometimes seem to have a hard time ejecting foreign eggs with their beaks, although it is also possible that they do not always correctly identify them. "Our tests on motivation are interesting. The sparrows threw out foreign objects of a different size more often during the egg-laying stage but they were more careful to remove unusual white objects during the incubation stage," says Hoi. "This shows that avoidance of parasitism is a motivation but nest sanitation also plays a part because the sparrows probably think the white, non-round objects are egg sacks and broken shells, which are usually removed from the nest after the young hatch."
The article "Nest sanitation as the evolutionary background for egg ejection behaviour and the role of motivation for object removal" by Miroslav Poláčeka, Matteo Griggio, Michaela Bartíková, and Herbert Hoi is published in the online journal Plos One. DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0078771

The 26-year-old took the first set 6-2 and was 2-2 in the second when she pulled up sharply, holding her lower back, wincing in agony.
As she wept courtside, she was allowed a medical timeout and when she returned to Court One she even managed to break the 2004 finalist to lead 3-2 in their second round clash.
But by this stage she was reduced to walking pace on the baseline and, after losing the next two games, she shook hands with the Russian.
Dokic then slumped in her chair and burst into tears for a second time while Dementieva attempted to console her.
"I went for a return and I just went down and couldn't get back up," said Dokic who will undergo a scan in Paris on Friday to judge the exact nature of the problem and the damage caused.
"It's very painful. I hope it's not too serious. It's very disappointing because I felt as if I had the match in my hands."
The former top 10 player was taking part in her first French Open since 2004 having made an emotional run to the Australian Open quarter-finals earlier this year when she was ranked 187 and with her career and life seemingly in a tailspin.
She won her opening round match on Tuesday coming back from a set down to defeat Slovenia's Karolina Sprem 3-6, 6-1, 6-2.
It was a remarkable performance, given the latest turmoil involving her estranged father Damir, who has been charged with threatening the Australian ambassador to Serbia and illegal possession of firearms.
Dokic, a former world number four but now ranked at 80, won more than three million US dollars in prize money in the first stage of her career, when she was a teenage prodigy who reached the Wimbledon semi-finals in 2000.
But she lost the money when she split from Damir, who she blames for her downfall, and was reportedly sleeping on the floor of a Melbourne apartment as she prepared for this year's Australian Open.

Well, my point here was, with the RAID 10, I already have a pretty good amount of reliability, as if one drive fails, the system can still function. And with disks that are pretty reliable to begin with, I wasn't sure if the combination of all these would merit just one large / fs. Thanks again.
Hm, This is interesting, I have almost always used separate partitions, such as /var, and it's saved my butt a couple times. If a log file starts to run away, which I've had happen a twice, it can't overflow the boundaries of the partition and crash the box, which it can if it's on /. I _always_ use a seprarate /home, so I can keep data in case I have to reinstall the OS, (successful intrustion attempt, etc.) and I've been using a /boot for no good reason. :o) The other benefit could, I've theorized, come from chrooting certain processes, If you leave them on a separate partition, and somehow someone exploits the partition, you can restore from your backup of the partition, without _too_ much difficulty.
Just my opinion, and I'd welcome comments on the topic. ~duane

Every Winnipegger has a rock'n'roll story.
Somebody knows somebody who played Spin the Bottle with Randy Bachman in a recroom (yes, green shag carpeting on the floor) in St. James or got into a fist fight with Neil Young over whose banana bike was faster.
One sunny day in the fabled North End of Winnipeg, a young husband was helping a neighbour clear away the pieces from a recently felled elm tree. A rather scruffy looking passerby, clad in a black Elvis t-shirt, offered to lend a hand.
The trio worked away, chatting about the weather and the heft of the logs. The young husband thought this recent addition to the team looked familiar. He kept glancing over his shoulder, wondering how he knew this gent. Then it dawned on him. This was no ordinary man on the street. It was Burton Cummings!
The husband wasted no time outing The Guess Who front man, then raced into his 100-year old Victorian to grab Up Close and Alone. That signed CD still has a place of honour in our home.
So why was Burton on Bannerman Avenue that day? Well, if you get on board Heartland International Travel & Tours' new Magical Musical History Tour, you'll soon discover that the roadway boasts his childhood home (he can be seen strolling the hood whenever he's in town). It's all part of a trip back to the 60s when Winnipeg planted its seeds to become Canada's rock'n'roll capital.
The three-hour tour includes plenty more Burton bits, including where he penned These Eyes and No Time along with Randy Bachman. If Neil Young is more your speed, you'll be thrilled to see the school where he sat on the steps and dreamed of being a star as well as the very spot where he met the iconic Joni Mitchell.
And while you're having so much joy and so much fun, you'll also get to see the house Terry Seasons in the Sun Jack grew up in.
Winnipeg rock'n'roll history comes to life in the more-than-capable hands of music historian and author John Einarson. He's got 15 books on rock'n'roll history to his credit. Man, this guy can tell stories!
The Magical Musical History Tour runs Tuesdays and Thursdays until September. Book it!

In my hospital, we can extend the time the Foley catheter is in place by simply writing a note that the catheter is necessary. It can be frustrating because even an oliguric patient in shock on vasoactive drugs must have such a note written. Common sense does not prevail and it's easy to forget to do it.

Specifically the updated problem list (a challenge in itself) should include the BPH and then prompt the physician to to verify the removal of foley at 24 hours in a pt with BPH. As we inevitably move towards more cookbook medicine we need to be more cognizant of these '1%' events-things that occur rarely, but in aggregate have significant effects. I see it similar to the issues with vaccination. There is an exceedingly small number of patients with true allergies to vaccienes, but the devestating consequences need to be addressed rather than eliminate vaccines altogether.techpedsdochttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-2760353953251845523.post-27102821375910119142011-06-07T07:29:57.708-04:002011-06-07T07:29:57.708-04:00Back when I was in Medical School, don't wanta...Back when I was in Medical School, don't wanta say exactly when, but "Thriller" was still in the top 10, Bo Jackson in the SEC, and Bill Buckner was known as a slick fielding-Good Hitting First Baseman...

Place the saffron threads in a very small bowl or cup and cover with two tablespoons of hot water. Set aside for at least 10 minutes.
Melt the coconut oil in a large stock pot over medium heat. Stir in the cayenne (if using), cumin, paprika, bay leaves, and salt, and cook, stirring frequently for 1-2 minutes. Add the leeks, garlic, squash, and carrots, and toss to coat in the spiced oil. Cook 8-10 minutes, until the vegetables begin to soften. If the pot begins to dry out, add a bit of water. Add the split peas and stir to combine. Pour in the stock, and add the saffron threads and the soaking water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, and cook for 25-30 minutes, until the split peas and vegetables are cooked through and tender. Remove the bay leaves.
Purée the soup using an immersion blender or an upright blender (if you use an upright, be sure to blend in batches!) until smooth. If it seems too thick, add some water until it's reached your desired consistency. Stir in the lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Serve hot with more lemon wedges on the side.

My friend Nick Palmer and his writing partner Jeremiah Friedman sold a script yesterday. This is awesome news... Nick is the guy who directed the terrific short film Dockweiler, which I wrote about a couple times before.
I spent the last 24 hours split between two different projects, one a novella and one a treatment for something else... really tired and addled. Just want to eat some ice cream and go to sleep, but I'm pretty wired at the same time. Just have to... have to wake early tomorrow and go swimming so I feel okay... fuck.

Seen @ Macworld is Appletell's column highlighting our experiences at the recent Macworld/iWorld Expo. Appletell stopped by several booths that featured interesting products; some were longtime pillars of Macworld with updates to established products, many were new companies showing innovative and exciting product for the first time, and a few featured accessories, apps, and products we didn't even know we needed before we hit the Moscone West show floor. Here we feature buzz from the show floor and details of our conversations with the makers, inventors, and companies whose products were on display. Be sure to check out our coverage of other exhibitors from Macworld/iWorld 2013.
The iBallz and Lid case were one of Appletell's favorite products at Macworld 2012, and the company was back on the show floor this year with their retro camper and the same awesome protection, this time scaled down for the iPad Mini. iBallz Minis are the company's universal small-tablet protection; originally designed for all tablets smaller than the iPad's 10 inches, the iBallz Minis are now the perfect companion to protect your iPad Mini (and AppleTell readers can get them now for 20% off).
Same Protection, Only Smaller
Appletell picked up a set of iBallz Minis on the show floor to try out, and comparisons with the original iBallz for iPad are inevitable. The original iBallz offer shock absorbing protection for your iPad by elevating the screen and back so that drops—even onto uneven surfaces—don't directly impact the screen or dent your back cover. Since they're anchored to your iPad's corners, they also offer shock absorption/drop protection for the corners of your iPad, preventing screen shatters and dings.
The good news is the iBallz Minis are every bit as protective and useful as their larger brothers, just in a small enough package to fit your iPad Mini. The balls themselves are slightly smaller (in proportion to the reduced size of the device), but they work exactly the same. Each ball has a groove that slots over your iPad Mini's corners, and an elastic band runs along the outside of the balls to hold them in place, essentially wrapping each corner in a full protective sphere to prevent damage from just about any angle. A clip secures the elastic band and lets you tighten or loosen the elastic drawstring.
Unlike the larger iBallz, the Minis have a great deal of adjustability; nearly seven inches of excess cord is left over when fitted firmly to an iPad mini, as they are designed to fit a large variety of shapes and sizes for sub-10″ tablets. At first, this excess cord is irritating, but at the end of the cord is a Velcro loop that allows you to secure the cord to the elastic frame of the iBallz, handily stowing it out of the way. The iBallz Minis can be used in much the same way as the larger iBallz, so feel free to use the cord to suspend your iPad Mini from a kitchen cabinet or employ it as a handy grip for accelerometer-dependent games.
The reduction in size does not in any way reduce the usability, functionality, or sheer delight of the iBallz Minis. The full sized iBallz earned a five-apple rating, and the iBallz Minis deserve no less. Perfect for protecting an iPad Mini, the iBallz Minis can also be used to protect smaller tablet/ereader devices like a Kindle or Android tablet. They go for $25, are available in black, pink, or turquoise, and are available here.

Russia voted Sunday in legislative elections likely to erode the majority of Vladimir Putin's ruling party and marred by claims the authorities committed dirty tricks to ensure its dominance.
The United Russia party was expected again to win the majority in the State Duma parliament but with fewer seats than in the 2007 polls, as opponents said the ruling elite had downed websites and harassed monitors to limit dissent.
The elections are seen as a crucial test of Putin's popularity in Russia as he prepares to stand in March 2012 presidential elections to return to the Kremlin after his four-year stint as prime minister.
Independent monitor group Golos (Voice), which claimed rampant violations in the campaign, said its "Map of Violations" website documenting reports of fraud was inaccessible due a cyber-attack and its email was paralysed.

Rago Response:
We apologize you are having a hard time. That garment definitely sounds like a defect that slipped.
Sarah from Houston
Rago Response: Rago garments go according to your measurements. If you purchased the items based on your average size you might not get a proper fit. See our sizing chart for more details on how to measure. The all in ones are not for everyone. It is better to combine a long line bra with a hi-waist garment for your perfect fit.
K from New Hope, PA
Rago Response: This is a common problem with one piece garments. The bottom of the body is not always in line with the top. Also the mass and density of the breasts may not fit the configuration of the all in one cup. The solution to this problem is to try style 2202 Lacette Long Line Bra
as a top and style 6109 High Waist Brief Girdle
as a bottom. Together they shape the entire body. The combo of this top and bottom should give you a perfect fit!
Sanger from Sanger, CA, USA
Rago Response: You might try Body Briefer 9071, as this will pull it all together.

Exotic Motorcycles - wBW Book Review
by Vic Willoughby
webBikeWorld.com Book Review by Bill C.

This strange and never-ending winter has beaten us into a corner. The rare occurrences of decent riding weather have kept us indoors, staring at the ever-growing pile of helmets, jackets, gloves and other goodies that are the grist for webBikeWorld reviews.
So what's a motorcyclist to do in weather most foul? Spark up the fire, grab a cuppa and dig in. To the pile o' motorcycle books, that is!
We've featured a surprisingly popular but irregular series of book reviews covering rare, out of print and hard-to-find motorcycle books over the past year or so, and here's another gem to add to the pile.
Exotic Motorcycles - A Tester's Privilege by Vic Willoughby is becoming a classic. I've seen it for sale in at least 3 different used and antique bookstores at $65.00 or so. I got this one for a steal at Lee Cowie's Motorsport Publications for $24.95, and it's brand new old stock, in perfect condition. Maybe I should have bought a couple?
I guess you can call me an Anglophile, having loved all things British since my knee-high days in the '60's. John Steed, John Drake and, of course, James Bond were my idols, and I devoured those black & white Ealing and Shepperton productions the way normal kids attacked their Neccos.
I'm not sure what it is about these films, but to this day I am still fascinated by them. Maybe it's the anti-Hollywood-ness of it all; after all, they are deliberate, understated and comparatively low budget productions that got the utmost from some of the best character actors to ever grace a screen.
British authors weren't far behind, and motorcycling attracted more than its share of true writers, devoted to the sport and to their craft. I don't think motorcycle sports writing in the U.S.A. has or will ever come anywhere near the British knack for this subject for some reason.
Vic Willoughby was one of the best around and Exotic Motorcycles is probably his most famous work. The premise is simple: Willoughby rides 24 wild and crazy motorcycles, from the comic Volkswagen powered Drag-Waye, with its extreme rearward sit-down riding position to Walter Zeller's TT winning BMW.
Each chapter is short enough to capture the reader's interest but filled with just the right amount of detail. The book is filled with very nice black and white photographs, many of which illustrate motorcycles that are either very rare or have never been seen before (before the book was published in 1982, that is).
Willoughby is a wonderful writer, and he covers the background and history of each bike before providing a brief narrative of his ride. There's so much to learn here -- about motorcycle history, about extremely rare motorcycles and about engineering at the extremes.
This is not your "normal" motorcycle book and that's what makes it so good. Exotic Motorcycles can really be thought of as a mini-coffee table book whose chapters will be enjoyed over and again for many years.
Motorcycling has a rich and complex history and enjoying books like this one can only deepen one's respect and admiration for the pioneers of the past who have brought us the wonders that we have today.

"Job creation and the economy at large are definitely slowing, and layoffs are the highest they've been in three years," he says. "The labor market is weakening, and that's got to have an effect on consumer spending sooner or later." According to retailers, it hasn't hit yet -- October sales were generally strong, but it was perhaps telling that cheapo giants Wal-Mart and Kmart were the big winners. Folks fearing for their jobs tend to skimp on the gifts -- and after Thursday, that might include a civil servant or two over at the BLS.
Is Santa Hiring?
WASHINGTON: Unpleasant surprise: Thanks to a screw-up at the Bureau of Labor Statistics' web site Thursday, some of its monthly employment figures were posted a day early -- and they weren't pretty. The nation's employers added only 116,000 positions to their payrolls in October, 80,000 fewer than expected. And though unemployment held steady at 4.7 percent, TIME senior economics reporter Bernard Baumohl says this Christmas season is starting to look a little bleak.

John Deasy is the Superintendent of the Los Angeles Unified School District, the second largest school district in the nation. In part 3 of NBC4's Conan Nolan in-depth interview with the superintendent, Deasy talks about the new head of the school board Richard Vladovic, the support of the school board now that his allies are gone, teacher training (he says there's room from improvement) and school safety.

Marine Park—Mill Basin—Flatlands—Bergen Beach
Cops arrested a 39-year-old man who they say robbed another man at gunpoint — and then shot him — on Avenue I on March 23.
The victim told police that he was between E. 34th and E. 35th streets at 11:40 am when the man approached him and put a gun to the back of his head. He told cops the suspect grabbed $1,000 from his pocket and then shot him in the abdomen before fleeing.
Cops arrested a 20-year-old man who they say pummeled another man on Kimball Street on April 8.

Cops arrested a man suspected of driving drunk on Flatbush Avenue on April 8.
Police officers said they were near Shore Parkway shortly after midnight when they saw the 43-year-old driver swerving across lanes.
They claim that when they pulled the man over he smelled of booze and couldn't stand straight. A breathalyzer test showed the man's blood-alcohol concentration was 0.15 percent, well over the legal limit of 0.08.
A man was arrested for allegedly taking $900 from a man's car on Utica Avenue on April 6, and then pummeling the victim when he tried to retrieve his cash.
The victim told police that he was between Avenues M and N at 6:15 pm when he saw the man enter his car and take money. When the victim confronted the suspect, the man allegedly punched him several times in the face before fleeing.

Is Dragon Age really a BG successor?
View Single Post
September 19th, 2009, 09:18
My vote goes to:
No, BioWare doesn't make them like that any more
In the first place BioWare can't make Baldur's Gate feeling just because it's not Baldur's Gate. It's like the feeling of Fallout in Fallout 3 - there is none.
No beautifully crafted 2D environment which was one of the best aspects of Baldur's Gate series. Sure, 3D graphic can be good but it definitely won't have BG feeling.
As for the other things… Baldur's Gate wasn't MATURE, DARK & GRITTY and didn't have that much SEX & BLOOD.

Those concerned with border-related conflicts and those concerned with climate change may, if the Center for Naval Analysis is correct, share some unexpected common ground. The Center, an American military-research institute, reported that climate change has the potential to multiply instability in some of the world's already volatile regions. The report is aptly named: "National Security and the Threat of Climate Change." It begins, "…Global climate change presents a new and very different type of national security challenge."
Boundaries between countries that are drawn based on topographic landmarks – for example, the boundary between Italy and Switzerland (marked by the ridge of a now-melting glacier) – are changing rapidly as the earth's topography deteriorates because of global warming. This deterioration could have a devastating effect on countries in conflict.
The boundary separating Pakistan from India's disputed Kashmir region is a prime example of how climate change may exacerbate tensions in the area, says The Economist, referencing the Center's report. Experts believe, as the glaciers in Kashmir melt, they will become additional objects of the 50-year-and-running dispute between the countries.
Other examples? Arctic sea ice is melting, making stretches of seabed accessible – a resource for which competing groups may vie. The still-undefined Chile-Argentina borderline in the southern Patagonian ice fields will be impacted by changing sea levels. Rising sea levels are also corroding coastlines in many South and South-East Asian countries, forcing residents to flee. (India has already constructed fencing to curb illegal immigration across its borders.) Emigrants fleeing increasingly marginalized cropland in their homelands could face military action should they enter other countries illegally. The list could go on and on.
Can these results of climate change be prevented? The report concludes with its several recommendations: the impact of climate change on national security should be fully integrated into national defense strategies, and the U.S. should commit to a stronger role in the international community in curbing climate change.

Not sure what to give this holiday season? How about the gift of health? Here are my top ten reasons to give Mila as a holiday gift.
1. YOU DON'T HAVE TO LEAVE THE HOUSE to shop.
2. Fiber aids in WEIGHT LOSS and BALANCES BLOOD SUGAR: How many people are struggling with weight loss and never feel full? Mila absorbs ten times its weight in liquids so it expands in your stomach. Many times I will drink Mila with juice before eating a meal and it will cause me to eat less without even trying.
See the snapshot below of 1 serving of Mila, vs 1 serving of Mila mixed with 1 cup water.
3. Can assist with CONSTIPATION ISSUES: Soluble fiber ensures hydration and insoluble fiber gently moves through the system, cleansing and carrying food along.
4. Omega 3's can help DEPRESSION: Google Omega 3 and medical studies and you will see many studies on how Omega 3s can help. Here is just one example from the University of Maryland. The best thing about Mila is there is 3000 mg of plant based Omega 3s – so we don't have to worry about mercury contamination like we do in fish. This is a FOOD. Our bodies will naturally recognize it faster than a supplement.
5. Omega 3s and HEART HEALTH go hand in hand: High blood pressure, high cholesterol and heart disease are all covered in this same University of Maryland medical study on Omega 3s.
6. NUTRITION AND ENERGY: Vitamins and Nutrients can give us Energy. The Standard American Diet (or SAD diet) is severely lacking in nutrient content. We try to counteract that by taking vitamin and mineral supplements. But think about it, our bodies recognize food faster than a supplement. It will recognize the vitamin C in an orange faster and more efficiently than a pill form of vitamin C. And our bodies simply need the nutrition. We can't produce Omega 3s so we must obtain it from food sources.
7. Fights JOINT PAIN and INFLAMMATION.
8. Great BRAIN FOOD FOR KIDS.
9. Is there a pet lover on your list? Mila is PERFECT FOR PETS.
10. FUELS WORKOUTS and keeps us hydrated! See how it absorbs all the liquids in the photo above? That is what keeps us hydrated longer. Loose the GU!
Share the love and get yours now while the gettin's good!
The gift that keeps on giving – give your loved one a subscription!

LMT Defender CQC Carbine Replica
A high quality replica by Action Sport Games on a licence from American Lewis Machine & Tool, a respected firearms manufacturer. The replica was made from metal and polycarbonate polymer. Just like in the original firearm, metal pieces include: the receiver, RIS rails, external barrel and stock pipe. Polymer elements include: pistol grip and stock. Small elements such as fire mode selector, trigger or bolt-catch have also been made from metal. This version comes entirely in black colour.
The replica features a regulated, functional stock with 6 position options, which allows it to be tailored to the user's body type and preferences. The stock has a rubber buttpad. In addition, there are fixed sights. The RIS rail features a fixed front sight and flip-up rear sight.
Only the best materials were used in construction of this replica and the precise fitting of parts makes this replica appear as a single solid block without any loose elements. The level of resemblance with regard to the original firearm will be appreciated even by the most particular users.
The battery is stored inside the SF stock. On the top of the receiver is a long RIS rail, the handguard has 22mm RIS rails placed on three sides, which allows for attachment of a wide array of additional accessories. The receiver has laser engraved manufacturer markings. Access to the hop-up regulation is gained after the cocking handle has been pulled back.
On the inside is a tight pneumatic system with high quality chamber and Hop-Up packing. The gearbox features an reinforced cylinder with a sealed head and 8mm plain bearing. The quality of parts used and their very well fitting allows for an achieved muzzle velocity of about 375FPS, which, in conjunction with shortened front and barrel, makes this replica a perfect tool for short and middle ranged combat.
Apart from the replica, the set includes a polymer high capacity (350 BBs) magazine.
The set does not include a battery or a charger.
The set includes:
- A replica
- A magazine
- A cleaning rod
- A user's manual
|Made of:
Metal + plastic
|Diameter of bearings in GB [mm]:

|Velocity [FPS]:
It is the spped of bb, while its leaving the innerbarrel of replica. This speed is measured in FPS (Feet Per Second).
1 FPS = 0,3 m/s
1 J = 99 m/s
|Propulsion / Powered by:
|Gearbox version:
Indications v2, v3, v6 does not mean the level of advance, but only shape of gearbox skeleton which was used and selected by the manufacturer depending on the capabilities of the body of the replica.

v2 Gearbox
|Type of fire:
Single, auto

This is a value that includes the weight of the replica, magazine and other accessories that are include in set without a battery, charger, cleaning rod, etc., etc.
|Magazine type:
Hi-Cap magazine
|Magazine capacity [pcs]:
Hop-Up system is used for overclocking bb during the shot (putting it in rotation), through which, it extends its flight path. Acting laws of physics make that bb lift up, while the gravitational force take it down. Appropriate adjustment of Hop-Up, will compensate for these two factors, which result in long and straight flight for longer distance and be greater focus shot (to improve accuracy).
Yes, adjustable
|Blow Back:
Blow back is a simulation system of the cocking lever - it imitates the work of it as the equivalent sharp. This system raises the realism and adds a lot more experience during shooting.
|Battery included:
rechargeable battery is characterized by high efficiency
current-carrying capacity, but there are disruptive effect on memory.
Should be unloaded and loaded in the full cycle, ie, it is recommended
to fully discharge, and after unloading must charge the battery

Although developers are still awaiting a $15 million commitment from the city toward the $175 million project cost for revitalizing the abandoned Sears Crosstown building into a medical, arts, and residential hub, $300,000 has recently been awarded to improve the surrounding Crosstown neighborhood and parts of the building.
The Crosstown Development Project was awarded a $50,000 regional planning award from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to extend the V&E Greenline across North Parkway and through the Crosstown site.
A $250,000 grant from the Delta Regional Authority will be used to implement a plan to equip and program a "theater stair" in the main atrium of the Crosstown building. The theater stair is a wide staircase that will be equipped with audio-video equipment for public lectures and performances. It will be wide enough to both serve as a functional staircase between the first and third floors and seating for performances and spillover seating for the building's planned cafe.
