Area Weather: Conditions were ripe for storms this week
It was quite a day across the state on Tuesday as severe weather spawned two tornadoes around the area. One tornado hit the town of Swift Falls Tuesday afternoon and another tornado did additional damage to the town of Spicer.
Conditions were favorable for severe weather as dew points were in the upper 60s and lower 70s as the cold front and area of low pressure moved through that warm and moist air.
Thankfully no injuries were reported in those two towns. There were homes and businesses along with a ballpark damaged in Spicer. The damage was even worse in the Swift Falls area.
Heavy rain also fell around the state. Brainerd received five inches of rain while Fergus Falls picked up nearly three inches of rain. Unfortunately, only .49" of rain fell at the airport in Morris. We can certainly use a great deal more rain. In the storm's wake much colder air settled in across the state.
The high on Wednesday was only 73 degrees. This is nearly 10 degrees colder than average! Record low temperatures were also reported around portions of the state. We should warm up a bit for the weekend. Highs should return to the mid to upper 70s with a few lower 80s possible for Sunday. Have a great weekend!
In 1970 a tornado sliced right through the center of Miltona. Also, in 1867 possibly the greatest "unofficial" rainstorm took place in Minnesota history. Nearly 36 inches of rain was recorded in 36 hours near Sauk Centre. Flooding was a huge problem.
The average lifespan of a tornado is less than 15 minutes.

Stocks Frustrate Investors, Falling 37.27
A Fleeting Gain Disappears After Monday's Rout; 'I Haven't Got a Clue What I've Got'
Investors have grown numb to a stock market that knows no direction but down. Tuesday was another discouraging day as the market was unable to muster a bounce following Monday's drop to a new 12-year low.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average failed to hold onto a midafternoon rally and ended the session down 37.27 points at 6726.02, its fifth day of declines. The Dow has dropped 11 out of the past 13 trading days, and over that period has fallen 15.3%.
Investors like Linda Pace have stopped watching. Ms. Pace says she hasn't looked at her investment portfolio since September, when markets began their rapid descent.
"I'm afraid I'll just burst into tears," says Ms. Pace, a 55-year-old in Pine Mountain, Ga., who had invested some of her savings and an inheritance from her mother. "I used to pay more attention to it but I'm so horrified by what's going on. I haven't got a clue what I've got right now."
Gina Balcom, a once-avid follower of financial markets, also isn't hearing any of it. The 34-year-old resident of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., says she has stopped watching financial news on television and hasn't looked at her 401(k) statements except to prepare her tax filing.
"I'm doing my best to ignore it," Ms. Balcom says.
Many investors are likely to wait until there is hard evidence that the markets have bottomed. Keith Springer, president of Capital Financial Advisory Services in Sacramento, Calif., with about $80 million in assets under management, says his clients also are showing signs of paralysis. "There's no buying interest at all right now," Mr. Springer says.
"There's a certain point where people will panic out -- that's what you call capitulation," Mr. Springer says. "We're not there yet."
On Tuesday, investors brushed aside news that government efforts to address key parts of the credit crisis were beginning to move forward.
Meanwhile, the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index fell below the psychologically important 700 level and closed at its lowest point since Oct. 10, 1996. The S&P 500 lost 4.49 points, or 0.64%, to 696.33.
Both the Dow and S&P 500 have lost more than one-fifth of their value this year.
"On almost any metric the stock market is really oversold," says Andrew Brooks, head of stock trading at T. Rowe Price Associates. However, "sentiment is just incredibly negative."
However, in Washington there were developments that many Wall Street analysts hope will bear fruit. The Treasury Department and the Fed rolled out the long-awaited program intended to restart lending to consumers and small businesses, the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility. The TALF news did provide a boost to stocks of credit companies such as American Express Co. AXP -0.06% and Capital One Financial Corp. COF 0.95% , but not much else. While analysts praise the TALF plan, like other efforts to boost the economy, the results will take many months to filter through.
"This could have a very powerful impact, although it may not show up in the economy until 2010," says Michael Darda, chief economist at MKM Partners LLC.
Mr. Darda sees other glimmers of positive news from the credit markets where there have been signs of stability in recent weeks even as stock prices have collapsed. Key short-term lending interest rates, such as the London interbank offered rate, are substantially lower than last October when stocks began falling.

A former Aylesford School pupil who is part of a team conducting major research in quantum physics is today (Mon) due to present his findings to a panel of judges in the Houses of Parliament.
Edward Guise, aged 26, grew up in Hampton Magna and after leaving school went on to study physics at Lancaster University.
When he graduated with a first class honours degree he stayed on in Lancaster as a member of their world-leading Ultra-Low Temperature Physics group.
Now he's working towards his doctorate and is part of a team researching turbulence in quantum fluids, which only exist at temperatures close to absolute zero.
The research may one day be useful in turbulence affecting aircraft, cars and water in pipework.
Mr Guise, whose family still live in Hampton Magna, was today due to present the findings of the team to members of the Parliamentary and Scientific Committee in a competition which could result in up to £3,000 in extra funding.
He said: "As a scientist, the ability to communicate your research not only to your peers but also to wider audiences is important.
"This is a fantastic opportunity."
Dr Frances Saunders, president of the Institute of Physics, said: "The SET for Britain competition is a great opportunity for some of the country's most impressive scientific talent to show off their research to politicians from across the UK."

Just got a 3DS and OoT for $100

- Just got a 3DS and OoT for $100
Anyway, since OoT was the only 3DS game I cared to get right now, anyone have some DS recommendations? I previously owned a DS a year or 2 ago and played FF4 and Jump Ultimate Stars, but after I was bored with those I just sold all of it. Here's a list of games I tried to find at gamestop that I was interested in, but either I couldn't find them, or I didn't want to pay that much for them.
Lufia Curse of the Sinistrals - Couldn't find it, ordered it on Amazon though. I know it looks like a crappy re-imagining of the original game(which is one of my all time favorites btw), but I want to play it anyway because I love Lufia.
Super Mario 64 DS - Found it, but I wasn't going to pay $25-$30 for a launch DS game. Seriously Nintendo? This game has been out for nearly 7 years and your still pricing this game that high? Oh well, I played this one awhile back as well when my brother had a DS at launch, but I just played the mini games and thought they were fun. I ordered this one online as well for like $15.
Chrono Trigger - Didn't find it, but I'm on the fence about getting it. I love the original, but I can play it any time I want, is there any incentive to getting it on the DS if I already have it on SNES?
Bleach The 3rd Phantom - Couldn't find it, is it even worth getting?
The World Ends With You - Same as Bleach
Super Robot Taisen Endless Frontier - ^
Dragon Quest games - I found 4, 6, and 9, but I wasn't going to pay $30 plus for any of them without more research. I didn't really get into DQ8 on the PS2, are any of the DQ DS games very different from 8? I played 7 back in the day on PS and it was alright, but I've never been a big DQ guy.
That's about all I looked for, as you can see other then Mario, it's all RPGs. That's mainly what I play, but I'm open to any suggestions. Going over all that, I suppose I'd probably be better served posting this on the DS board, but oh well, I'll post it there if I don't get much action here I guess.

So really you got a 3DS and LoZ for normal price.
move all remaining groundhog mercenaries to the front lines. Have sheep troopers squadrons A and B flank the cows. They're using DC-17 hoof blasters.
TL:DR, but that's a hell of a deal. Don't know how you managed that.
Second_Chances 6 years ago#4
If you traded stuff in you didn't really get it for 100, you still got it for 210. You just had to use Credit, not real cash for it.
Second Chances sure are great. It's nice to be back, GameFAQs.

I had a couple of used games I just picked up this past weekend, and I knew I could return for about $40, so when I was thinking of what to buy I came across the trade 3 games get $10 extra deal. So I was like "**** it" and traded in like 8 games, I had 9 but Dissidia 012 was still in my PSP lol, so yeah. I still got $90 credit, plus the $40 from returns so it only ended up costing me about $100.
Why do people always think that they got a "great bargain" when they bought something using a big amount of trade-ins.
In short, you didn't get the console and game for $100 - You got them for $100 in cash, plus an armload in lost value in games.
Being a fanboy = Dedicating yourself to and defending a piece of plastic, made by a corporation that doesn't care about you anyway.
Yeah, I didn't mean to make it sound like I got them both straight up for $100 lol, that's why I explained I traded games and used store credit, which led to me only having to pay $100 for both.

That's like using Amazon credit to buy a game and saying you got it for less than the price.
BTW, TWEWY is very worth a playthrough.

Lufia is REEALLY god damn different.
But....I dare say it's a fun game.
It's not a turn based anymore, which thank god for. The original Lufia was really good a decade and a half ago. But that system...outdaaaated.
The World Ends With You.
One of the most fun RPGs on the DS. It's different and has you on your toes constantly by using both screens. It sounds challenging but once you actually take ten minutes to learn...it's rewarding.
The PS3 and 360 can battle each other over who's breasts look more realistic.
The Wii is all about having fun with them. ~Girl Gamer~

Depends on the person, to me it was worth it though. I mean it was 8 games that I'm not going to play again, and I honestly didn't want to put 8 separate games for 3 different systems up on ebay, and have to ship 8 separate packages just to make a little more money, when I can knock off $90 instantly off new $3DS.
Some of the games I traded in, like Marvel vs Capcom 3, are basically obsolete with UMvC3 coming out, so it's not like I'm hurting for losing these games. If I'm never going to put them up on ebay, then I might as well trade them in and get something for them. Don't get me wrong though, there are games I put on ebay from time to time, and there are certain games I have now that I won't play again, but I won't trade them into gamestop either because I eventually do plan to sell them on ebay.
Stuff like the limited edition of Record of Agarest War, I can sell that for a good $50+ probably, so there's no need to get that severely under valued by trading it in.

I know it's different, but I still want to play it. Lufia 2 is one of my all time favorite RPGs on the SNES(still hoping it gets put on the VC for the Wii), but I don't mind the old school gameplay on it.
I'll probably pick up TWEWY at some point, I should probably play what I have and not overload myself on games. I did that with the PSP and didn't play half of them, so I need to avoid wasting money.

Tax-savvy investors know to watch out for the "wash sale" rule. But now there's an extra wrinkle.
Alert: New cost basis reporting rules apply to mutual fund shares acquired after 2011. Mutual fund companies are required to report gains and losses from the shares on Form 1099 based on a default method if you don't select another permissible method.
The new cost basis rules extend to automatic reinvestment plans. So don't be surprised next year when you receive a boatload of 1099s showing wash sales in your mutual fund accounts.
Here's the whole story: The wash sale rule says you can't deduct the loss from a sale of securities if you acquire "substantially identical" securities within 30 days of the sale. Instead, the loss is added to your basis in the replacement shares.
You can avoid the wash sale rule by waiting at least 31 days before you buy back the same securities. Alternatively, you might use the "double up" strategy: First, buy more shares of the same security. Next, wait at least 31 days to sell the original block of shares. With this technique, you can acquire the new shares at a low price and preserve a tax loss for the old shares.
New cost basis rules
Under a three-year phase-in, financial institutions must report the cost basis and other information relating to securities transactions. This applies to stocks and comparable investments acquired after 2010; mutual fund and dividend reinvestment plan (DRP) shares acquired after 2011; and most other complex securities, such as options, fixed income instruments and debt instruments, acquired after 2012.
The new cost basis rules should make it easier to figure out the tax consequences of mutual fund transactions. But now you're required to choose a cost basis method at the time of the transaction. Otherwise, an "average cost basis" method will generally be used as the default for mutual fund shares.
Caution: If you sell mutual fund shares at a loss and dividends from those fund shares are automatically reinvested within the 30-day period, you will trigger the wash sale—whether you intend it or not. To avoid this, you must provide express instructions to the contrary.
Tip: Stay on top of the situation by closely monitoring your accounts.

The children, aged between five and 11, fell through the ice on a section of the Huiji River, near a village in China's northern Shanxi Province, local government sources said.
Officials said an emergency rescue operation was launched after police were alerted to the incident at 4.47pm local time.
Video footage caught the moment one rescue worker fell into the freezing-cold waters as he tried to reach the place where the children were thought to have fallen in.
His colleagues use a rope to drag him through the ice to safety.
They later used rubber inner tubes as life buoys to help speed up the operation.
The bodies of four children were discovered at around 6pm.
Divers found the remaining two bodies an hour-and-a-half later after darkness fell.
All six children were taken to hospital but could not be saved.
Authorities say they are investigating the incident.

As noted on my about page, I am a passionate sports fan. From the age of 13 on I wanted to be a sportscaster and earned a degree in broadcast news with that goal in mind. As a result, many (though not all) of the posts I make on the blog will be sports related. With that being my set up, today I am going to write about the latest news coming out of Knoxville–the NCAA is looking into possible recruiting violations by Lane Kiffin's Volunteers.
There are only a billion ways a college program can run afoul of the NCAA and no, I am not exaggerating. Okay, I am, but let me tell you, not by much. This particular investigation caught my eye, however, for two reasons–one, as a fan and graduate of the University of Georgia, I don't like Tennessee and two, because of the nature of the violation the NCAA is looking into. The NCAA's investigation centers around allegations that Tennessee sent recruiting "hostesses" 200 miles away from the UT campus to attend a South Carolina high school football game. This could be a violation because hostesses are considered to be representatives of the university they attend and this type of activity may not take place off campus.
It is not uncommon for colleges to try to sweeten the recruiting experience by having female students hang out with visiting male athletes (though I wonder how often the track or tennis teams at these schools use this tactic) and I am almost positive that my own alma mater, Georgia, does something similar. As revealed in yesterday's New York Times article, the UT hostesses that attended the high school game in South Carolina sat in the stands and held up signs that among other slogans read, "Come to Tennessee." That's not a horribly degrading act, but as the mother of a 16-year old girl, I have to admit that the fact that this practice is still being employed at all bums me out. I'd like my daughter to go out into a world where women aren't being used by institutions of higher learning as eye candy.
With the help of Google, I found this 1987 Sports Illustrated article on the subject of recruiting hostesses. I am willing to bet that 22 years later not much, if anything, has changed with regard to motivation or tactics.
Do you have a problem with the practice of coeds being used to lure male athletes to a campus?

On a segment basis, worldwide revenues of Urology increased 3% year over year to $202.4 million. Roughly 200 basis points (bps) were added to global growth at this segment, contributed by the Rochester Medical acquisition in mid-November. Likewise, 11% revenue growth of PICC (peripherally inserted central catheter) with strong performance in both domestic and international markets along with a 2% rise in BCR's dialysis catheter business caused revenues from Oncology segment to increase 5% to $220.4 million.
Management observed highest revenue growth of 16% in the Surgical Specialties segment in the fourth quarter, with domestic sales growth of 17% and international sales growth of 13%. BCR's research and development expenses climbed 220 bps to $70.4 million, reflecting higher investments pertaining to the company's strategic growth plan and the recent acquisitions.
During the fourth quarter, BCR repurchased around 1.4 million of the company's shares and returned over $800 million to shareholders in 2013.
Estimates for BCR have been rising since its fourth-quarter earnings release. Over the last 90 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate has risen 8.1% to $8.25 for 2014 and 6.8% to $9.14 for 2015.

And looking at his three year stats, he's a low OBP guy with no power. Good grief.
And looking at his three year stats, he's a low OBP guy with no power. Good grief.
"You only have to bat a thousand in two things; flying and heart transplants. Everything else you can go 4-for-5."
-Beano Cook
People are hoping his AAA stats are reflective of some improvement in his game, I think. Historically Paul is not a very good ML hitter or OBP guy. Hey, he is a lefty though.
I wouldnt mind seeing him get some starts and batting leadoff. looks like he can take a walk
"Losing feels worse than winning feels good." -Vin Scully
So, in one game, Paul has already done more than token lefty 25th men Mike Costanzo and Willie Harris combined this season. Paul is a long shot to be successful at this point, but I always was intrigued by his potential when he was coming up with LA. A lefty bat who isn't a complete waste who can play defense and run, I'd say the Reds need to consider hanging on to him when Votto returns. That may mean a phantom DL stint for Miguel Cairo.
Of course, if the Reds could pick up a Kotsay or some one of that ilk, Paul may need to go anyway.
"All I can tell them is pick a good one and sock it." --BABE RUTH
Having better players makes "the right time" or "the big hit" happen a lot more often. PLUS PLUS
Really nice game by Paul last night. I want to see another start. In CF. Not LF. Luddy's hot. Dusty needs to get over the Stubbs love.
I'd rather listen to Kelch read the phone book than suffer through Thom Brennaman's attempt to make every instance on the field the most important event since the discovery of manned space flight. -westofyou
Can he play 1b? Obviously Rolen needs time off, I feel like he's destined for more shoulder injury unless Dusty limits his playing time much more than he currently is (though Votto's injury may play a role in what his post all star break plan was)
It would be a shame if he couldn't. Just seems that guys like Ludwick and especially Paul should have taken some practice at 1b sometime along the way during their struggles. Would be nice to have the option of using Frasier at 3b when Rolen sits and not automatically having to turn to Cairo.
Paul has played a part in the last 2 wins. When Joey come back Id like for Paul to stay. Has some speed and swings a decent bat. Nice role player to have. Hes certainly earning his paychecks right now. I also wouldnt mind Dusty trying him in the leadoff spot.
"Losing feels worse than winning feels good." -Vin Scully
He may be the lead off hitter we need. Or maybe not. So far I am impressed.
"You only have to bat a thousand in two things; flying and heart transplants. Everything else you can go 4-for-5."
-Beano Cook
"You only have to bat a thousand in two things; flying and heart transplants. Everything else you can go 4-for-5."
-Beano Cook
I wouldn't be surprised if the Reds dfa Cairo when a trade is made or Votto comes back. You need Valdez, who has been playing okay lately, as an MI backup, and Paul az a lefty bat on the bench. It even seems that Dusty has given up on Cairo.

Sure, you've probably heard a ton about Bryce Harper's success and abilities, but what's wrong with hearing more? After all, despite his success, he's not playing the majors yet, so we can only speculate. Luckily, there are people who get paid for that sort of stuff. Kevin Goldstein of Baseball Prospectus has an article today covering the latest scouting report on the phenom.
The article is only accessable to those who've paid, and you can only read through the first section. Here are some highlights from the article. For more details, you'll have to help pay Mr. Goldstein's salary:
Hitting – Harper hits well, but he probably isn't going to be a .330 hitter. The good news is that Goldstein seems to indicate that some of the chatter of his strikeouts being high are overblown. He calls his K rate promising for his age
Power – Top of the charts. He mentions that evaluation is basically universal among scouts, and the last person to have such reviews was Alex Rodriguez. He also mentions that ARod was drafted before Harper turned 1 years old, which makes Harper seem young, ARod seem old, and me FEEL old.

Juggernaut is the word I usually use to describe Apple's success with the iPhone: while there are a slew of phones of phone with similar functionality to Cupertino's multitouch smartphone, like the Palm Pre and a host of Android devices like the new Verizon-exclusive Motorola Droid, Apple has unstoppably charged all over them up until now.
But a recent announcement from analyst firm Strategy Analytics really takes the word "juggernaut" and redefines it, not as mere hyperbole but as stone cold fact. According to the group, Apple is now the single most profitable phone maker in the United States.
Despite the fact that Apple's iPhone series of device only enjoy a 2.5 percent market share and that there are only two iPhones on the market right now, Apple is estimated to have generated $1.6 billion in profit from its smartphone division. And that's just this summer.
In comparison, Nokia only generated $1.1 billion profit in the same period, which enjoys a far more robust market share, which is nearly 40%. The reason for the wide discrepancy between market share and profit in Nokia's case is largely because they have still to release a smart phone that is capable of taking on the iPhone. Instead, all of their phones are low to mid-range regular mobile phones, with none of the advanced functionality of Apple's iPhone. They sell a lot of these, but they don't generate much profit from them.
One wonders exactly how much bigger the iPhone can get, especially once their exclusivity contracts lapse. My guess is that the iPhone can only get more profitable from here.

DUTCH financial services group ING yesterday admitted that its exposure to insurance claims relating to the World Trade Centre terrorist attack was 11 times greater than initially thought and warned that it would hit full-year profits severely.
The group, which in August predicted that earnings per share would rise by 17pc this year, yesterday slashed that forecast to just 5pc but stressed that this depended on economic and financial conditions remaining unchanged.
ING also confirmed that claims on ReliaStar, the American reinsurance business it acquired last year, will lead to losses of at least Eu600m (£430m) before catastrophic cover or taxes. It had initially estimated an exposure of Eu50m before tax.
ING said: "ReliaStar is exposed to additional claims. These relate to losses incurred by companies that were based on the upper floors of the World Trade Centre, through reinsurance of carriers that write workers' compensation contracts and personal accident insurance."
It has also discovered that ReliaStar failed to carry any catastrophe provisions and ING has been forced to correct this position. The net effect of this is estimated at Eu150m before tax - equivalent to 3pc of last year's operating profits. ING has also temporarily stopped quoting workers' compensation and personal accident reinsurance coverage.
Separately, Commerzbank, Germany's third-largest bank, confirmed that it would slash 3,400 jobs or 8.5pc of its workforce within two years. Staff in London will only feel "a slight impact" from the job cuts but further details will be released today.
The bank also recorded a post-tax loss of Eu120m (£75m) for July and August and warned last month's result was unlikely to show an improvement.
A statement from Commerzbank said: "As the very difficult business environment also rules out a more optimistic forecast for September, the bank's management board assumes that the result was once again negative."

Hello. I have a problem with my computer, and it won't let me run Ad-Aware. I already ran the system check to see it isn't a hardware problem. I have deleted all temp files, ran virus scans, etc., but the problem hasn't gone away. What's happening is that the computer is slowing down. If I click from one screen to another, some of its graphics will remain for a couple seconds (these seemed like indications to me of a bad processor, but apparently that's not the case.)
I know when I don't run Ad-Aware to remove multiple spyware software for a while, my computer slows down. But everytime I run Ad-Aware, it gets stuck (and not always on the same file.) I have already tried reinstalling Ad-Aware, but the problem remains.
What can I do?
I have Windows Vista Home Premium. My system is Dell Inspiron 1420.

Sandra & Justin's Kitchen:
Dealing with Dust
Good riddance to the ceiling popcorn.
Type of Project: Kitchen remodel
Location: Arlington, Texas
Type of building: Single-family home, 2,450 square feet
The Renovation Diaries are a new collaboration with our community in which we feature your step by step renovation progress and provide monetary support towards getting it done in style. See all of our Reno Diaries here.
This week we created the biggest mess of our young lives and went through lots and lots of plastic sheeting. Prepping the room to take out the popcorn ceilings felt like we were making a field operatory or just a scene out of Dexter. Removing the popcorn ceilings wasn't very difficult, but it took a lot of water to loosen it. With the soffits our and the popcorn ceilings removed the room felt instantly less oppressive and dark. There was so much more light in the room and coming from the long tunnel of work still ahead.
Lucy and Quinn on tile destruction.
Our very strange cat, Calvin, loved napping on the smashed tile and the whole kitchen remodel in general.
Since smashing out the tile doesn't leave a smooth surface, we had to rent a grinder to smooth the old tile quickset and prep the surface for the new bamboo flooring I purchased this week. Picking up the grinder and hauling all of the flooring in a rental car (since ours got crunched while we were at the cabinetry shop last week) added to the fun. The loaner Impala was not intended for hauling, and it made it much trickier loading and unloading the 56 boxes of flooring and the rental floor grinder. But we made it.
Peeking in through plastic just as Justin finished the floor grinding.
At home I taped Justin into the kitchen with plastic sheeting as we tried to control the dust situation. Even then, there was so, so much dust. Three hours later, Justin ran to return the grinder while Carter, Lucy and I swept up roughly forty pounds of dust in the kitchen. After the first few sweepings we found the vacuum to be the most effective tool for collecting dust. I then proceeded to vacuum morning and night around the house to try and shut down the dust storm. We were just glad we were able to do this when the weather was nice enough to not need heating or air conditioning, forcing the dusty air further throughout the house. Thank goodness.
Carter takes a break from tile smashing, with the old cabinets visible in the sunroom (to be picked up by freecyclers that night). Lucy is grabbing what feels like the four hundredth bag to sweep dust and debris into.
With all of the old kitchen: cabinets, soffits, and flooring out, we are ready to get started on the new stuff; plumbing and electrical work next week. The demolition is almost all done.

text: I recently purchased a Williams Sonoma fleur-de-lis bundt pan, and a few of the bundt cake mixes to go with it. (I had never made a bundt cake before, so wanted to stick with mixes before branching out.) On my first attempt, a pumpkin cake with streusel filling, I carefully greased and floured the pan, baked, and allowed it to cool for quite a while, probably over half an hour, before removing it from the pan. It came out wonderfully. On my second attempt, I greased but did not flour the pan quite as carefully, and tried to remove the cake from the pan about 10 minutes after it was done baking. The second attempt (strawberry bundt cake) fell apart into an ugly mess that could not be aesthetically salvaged. I assumed that I had tried to remove the cake too early. However, I have seen several posts and comments that indicate that the cake should not be left in the pan for too long. So, now I am thoroughly confused and more nervous than ever about making a new attempt. I would like to make a cake for New Year's Eve. I've armed myself with Pam for Baking. My question is twofold: (1) How will I know when to try to get the cake out of the pan, and (2) will Pam for Baking alone work? Thanks in advance.

Athletics-Discus champion Harting to skip world championships
BERLIN, Aug 11 (Reuters) - World and Olympic discus champion Robert Harting will not defend his title at this month's Beijing world championships as he does not want to risk his participation at next year's Rio Olympics after struggling to recover from a ligament injury.
Harting, who has won three consecutive world titles and the 2012 Olympic gold medal in London, said competing in Beijing would have been too risky for him as he still not 100 percent fit after tearing a cruciate ligament last September.
"Unfortunately this is not possible," he told reporters. "I just can't compete. I would have to take a risk that I cannot take.
"The temptation was certainly there and I always hoped. But if I tear a cruciate ligament again then I can forget about Rio."
Harting, who is known for his exuberant celebrations by ripping off his top, tore his cruciate knee ligament 11 months ago and has been working on a comeback since.
Beijing will host the world championships between Aug. 22-30. (Reporting by Karolos Grohmann, editing by Pritha Sarkar)

Employers of the world should begin planning now?for the fact that no one will be at work on Monday May 27th due to exhaustion from a collective,?worldwide?all-nighter?on the 25th/26th watching the?hotly anticipated new episodes of Arrested Development.
The entire season is being released?at 12:01am on the 26th ? and, conceivably, the mature among us could wait until a reasonable time on Sunday, perhaps have a post-brunch marathon, and still be at work with bells on Monday morning.
But we all know that won't happen. Everyone will stay up all night, pass out, wake up, watch more, and call in sick on Monday ? because if you're old enough to have been a fan of Arrested Development, you're too old to bounce back that quickly from an all-nighter and too immature to just go to bed. (Trust me on this.)
The simultaneous release of all 15 new episodes of Arrested Development?on NetFlix is sheer genius. After seven years of?deprivation and speculation and anticipation and various?other -ations over whether it would be a movie or?new episodes or happen at all, the world deserves this.
Earlier this week, a short outtake, featuring Lucille and Buster Bluth, was released?and it reminded us what a crazy gem we've been missing all these years. In the clip, Lucille?exhales smoke from her cigarette into the mouth of her hook-handed son Buster, who then?blows it?out the balcony dooor. You see, Lucille is under house arrest and can't get that close to the window (ankle monitors are a bitch), but it's a non-smoking building … so what else is she to do? The clip is short and not even that terribly funny, but it's coming … finally … in just one month.

Salman Khan's "Bajrangi Bhaijaan" has been sweeping trophies at prestigious award ceremonies, but it now appears that director Kabir Khan isn't the only man one should thank for gifting people with such a heart-warming film.
According to SKJ Bollywoodnews, it bears resemblance to a 1974 film "Alice In The Cities", directed by Wim Wenders.
The German road film has a writer who is left with a little girl whom he must safely escort to her grandmother. While the story may look similar there's no way to confirm it. Also, the Salman starrer has the Indo-Pak background playing out loud, which is hardly anything close to what the other film in question is about.
Interestingly, this isn't the first time that the film has been accused of plagiarism. A few months ago, a certain Mahim Joshi filed a case with the Bombay High Court stating that "Bajrangi Bhaijaan" had been lifted from a story he had written.
According to a Press Trust of India report, Joshi had demanded compensation and credit for it from the makers ahead of the film's world television premiere. He had also demanded that the film not be aired on TV but the court had denied stay orders on it.
This isn't all, there were reports of the film borrowing tenets from Chiranjeevi's 1987 film "Pasivadi Pranam". "Chiranjeevi's 1987 Telugu film Pasivadi Pranam moved me a lot. I wanted to rehash it and give it a contemporary touch. I had also learnt about the story of a Pakistani couple who came to India for their daughter's heart surgery because they couldn't afford it in their country," IANS quoted writer KV Vijayendra Prasad as saying.

Marriott International says its fourth-quarter net income fell 18 percent despite higher revenue, hurt by a one-time charge tied to the spinoff of its timeshare business.
The Bethesda, Md., company said Wednesday it earned $141 million, or 41 cents per share, compared with $173 million, or 46 cents per share, a year earlier. Taking out one-time items in both periods, it earned $159 million, or 46 cents per share, compared with $135 million, or 35 cents per share.
Revenue rose to $3.69 billion from $3.64 billion.
The results fell short of Wall Street's expectations. FactSet says analysts expected a profit of 47 cents per share on revenue of $3.74 billion.
For 2012, Marriott sees emerging markets driving strong global growth, and forecasts earnings well above current analyst forecasts.

"Visions of the Amen" is an interactive kinetic sculpture by Mitchell F Chan. The piece is brought to life by the voice of talented young soprano Ashleigh Semkiw, performing in this video Messiaen's Poemes Pour Mi. The primary elements of the sculpture are 16 strings, weighed down on one end by brass bars and attached at the other end to motors, spin at various speeds to sweep out those ghostly sine-wave forms, and pull up and down on the brass rods. The resultant visual effect, overall, looks something like 16 brass rods dancing, bobbing up and down in a forest of ghostly columns.
Each string in the arrangement is activated by a different note, and spins with a velocity dependent on the volume of that note. So each song and unique delivery creates a different ballet. The microphone feeds into a software that I wrote in Processing, which does some pitch and volume analysis, and then exports PWM values for all the motors via serial protocol to a set of microcontrollers.

Justin Timberlake made a televised apology to fans in Buffalo, New York on Friday night (21Feb14) after a 24-hour flu forced him to reschedule his Saturday night (22Feb14) gig in the city.
Speaking on Jimmy Fallon's show last night, the 33-year-old singer said, "Wednesday night, we had to move to tonight. It is hard; it knocks the whole schedule off, so tomorrow night I'm supposed to be in Buffalo but we had to try to move that show too because the routing of the tour, it's just impossible to break down the stage (and) get the stage up (in time).
"I thought everyone who played hockey was still in Sochi, but apparently they come back pretty soon and the Buffalo Sabres... we have to deal with so many schedules... and so I had to move the show, like, all the way to the summer. I feel really bad."
JT added, "Hi Buffalo, I'm Justin Timberlake, and I want to say I'm sorry, I'm sorry for postponing my concert this Saturday. I know what you're thinking: 'Justin, I don't want an apology, I want a concert'. Trust me, I hear you Buffalo, but there's no reason to raise your voice; we've got a good thing going and I don't wanna mess that up.
"So I'll tell you what I'm gonna do - I'm coming back July 9th and you better be ready because we're gonna party, we're gonna party hard, that's a guarantee. And, if for some reason you're not satisfied, Jimmy Fallon will come to your house and give you a full-body massage... so I'll see you this summer, Buffalo."

Condo of the Day: 133 Sterling Place, #4G
We suspect there will be lots of demand for this three-bedroom condo at 133 Sterling Place in Park Slope. At 1,792 square feet, it's sized for a family and the location and condition are going to be in a lot of shoppers' sweet spots. The asking price of $2,500,000 is double what it went for at the bottom of the market in 2009 but actually sounds about right in this market.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla.–In dissecting what it needed to do to upset Venezuela, the Italian team stressed playing flawless defense–that didn't happen. The point was moot, however, as the Azzurri bats, so raucous the previous night against Australia, were silenced by the deafening duo of Freddy Garcia and Carlos Silva in a 6-0 Venezuela victory.
"I don't want to take anything away for the Australian pitchers, but (the Venezuelans) were throwing a lot harder," Italy third baseman Mark Saccomanno (Astros) said. "When they are throwing hard and hitting their spots, it makes it tough on every guy that goes up there."
With a victory a necessity for Venezuela, Garcia was up to the task from his first pitch. He retired the first two hitters on fly balls before striking out the heart of Italy's order (Frank Catalanotto, Mike Piazza and Vincent Sinisi) in succession to end the first and open the second.
While Garcia was doing that, Venezuela pushed its first run across when Miguel Cabrera drove home Bobby Abreu with an RBI single. Abreu walked with two outs and advanced to second on a balk by Italy starter Lenny DiNardo in what was the first of a trio of miscues by the Azzurri that would lead to three Venezuelan runs.
Italy's only real threat came in the top of the third when catcher Tom Gregorio walked with one out and Dustin Delluchi reached on a throwing error by first baseman Ramon Hernandez, who threw wide to shortstop Omar Vizquel when attempting to start a double play.
With two on and one out, shortstop Tony Giarratano, a Tigers farmhand, battled Garcia for the second time of the evening. After being retired after a seven-pitch at-bat in the first where he fouled off five pitches, he worked the count full in the third by fouling off three pitches before singling to center to load the bases. Italy was primed to at least tie the game with Frank Menechino up and Catalanotto and Piazza behind him, but Garcia struck Menechino out swinging on three pitches.
"You always expect to have some difficult innings, but I came up with the right pitches," said Garcia, who earned the win. "I was trying to make a good pitch to Menechino, trying to throw him a sinker down and get a double play. I ended up throwing three perfect pitches and getting the strikeout."
After working the count to 1-2 to Catalanotto, the decidedly pro-Venezuelan crowd rose to its feet in support of Garcia, who proceeded to fan Catalanotto on a vicious slider at the ankles that induced a helpless swing. By fanning two of its three most accomplished big league hitters in succession, Garcia vanquished the only hope Italy had of ever making it a game.
Venezuela would tack on single runs in each of the next three innings–first with an RBI single from Abreu in the third, followed by a two-out throwing error from Saccomanno in the fourth on a ball hit by Juan Rivera that allowed Ramon Hernandez to score after hitting a one-out double. Their fourth run would come on a Cabrera home run to deep left center in the fifth, his second of the tournament.
"Miguel is our main man," Venezuelan manager Luis Sojo said. "To be honest, I don't know where he is going to land. He is unbelievable. Every time he makes contact he hits it hard somewhere."
By the time Cabrera's homer had extended the lead, Garcia had given way to Twins righthander Carlos Silva, who was just as dominant, but in an entirely different manner. While Garcia was overpowering in fanning seven in 3 1/3 innings, Silva was his typical self, attacking the strike zone and pitching to contact. He did strike out three, however, including Piazza, whom Garcia fanned twice.
"It's tough when you face pitchers this good this early in spring," Italy manager Matt Galante said. "Garcia was on the top of his game and had as good of a slider as he is going to have."
Venezuela would tack on two more runs in the seventh, the last of which came on a wild pitch by reliever Alessandro Maestre, who entered the game with the bases loaded.
Relievers Rafael Betancourt and Felix Rodriguez pitched scoreless innings in the eighth and ninth for Venezuela in combining with Garcia and Silva on a two-hit gem.
"We finally started hitting and hitting at the right time," Sojo said. "Pitching was the key and set the tone, but the rest of the team came around."
The victory for Venezuela puts it in excellent position to advance. It will send righthander Kelvim Escobar to the mound against Australia on Thursday evening where a win should put the Venezuelans through to the second round. Italy will throw Tony Fiore against the Dominican Republic Thursday afternoon and needs a win to remain a factor.
A win by the Dominicans coupled with a Venezuela victory would assure both of those nations a spot in the second round. A win for Italy over the Dominicans would set up the possibility of the convoluted scenario in which the three teams would be tied at 2-1 (with Australia at 0-3) assuming the Dominicans defeat Australia on Friday.
The puzzle will be pieced together further after Thursday's contests, but for now Venezuela has put itself back in prime position to earn a trip to Puerto Rico, and the next round.

Evernote, you're so slow and clunky
While my normal monthly usage is still well below the 40MB limit, I did come dangerously close to that last month when I decided to add a year's worth of PDFs from Trendwatching's monthly briefings to my Evernote archive. To date I have 371 notes and ~60 MB of data.
I think I might also be dangerously close to becoming a Level IV digital hoarder. :)

I have seen very little in the way of improvement when it comes to Evernote desktop client speed. They must know know this. The idea of the service is great but this has to be addressed. Sooner than later.

Evernote PC app is SLOW! I have to exit it and relaunch it at least once a day as it somehow hangs when I add a new note. I dilligently have updated to the latest version... but this kind of performance and frankly, bloat, makes me want to downgrade to a much earlier version.

i agree - i recently migrated from Onenote to Evernote in the hopes that the latter would be faster. ON opens much faster that EN, but EN's search speed is superior. If it weren't for the tagging capability of EN, i would go back to ON. ON's editing and formatting is vastly superior to EN's.

If they took all the time and effort they spent making cutesy "user friendly we're all part of the cloud" google-esque info-videos making this actually run optimal under the hood, we'd be getting somewhere. They perfected synching, yes.. but since then their core focus has been on cutesy viral marketing and cross platform domination.
Walk before you run, etc..

Agree. Making a new note now takes so long that I usually look for another method - like firing up vim - when I want to create a quick note.
- August 28, 2010 at 9:57 PM
Yep, I couldn't agree more. I started using Evernote after Google Notebook development got canned. While the text recognition on images is nice, as is PDF support, it's just a lot slower to use, to the point that sometimes when I want to look up data I'll log into the website as it's quicker, which is ridiculous

I started with Evernote 3.5.4 and found that it was hogging 100% of the CPU even as it was doing nothing, or sitting in the system tray. I googled around, and found lots of other people saying the same thing, so I upgraded to Evernote 3.5.6, which seemed fine at first, but within a few hours it was consuming 100% cpu again.
Then I saw a forum posting which said that 3.5 is known to have this issue, but earlier versions did not.
Finally I discovered that version 18.104.22.1685 was still available from the official Evernote site (found via Google), so I downloaded that and I've had no trouble since with high cpu usage or performance.

At this time I'm ready to throw Evernote and 7 generations of the makers' forefathers through the window. It is useless with its slow speed, interrupted captures, and sensitivity to even touching the keyboard while you capture. I'm much more inclined to put it in the "useless piece of ..." bin.
- October 10, 2010 at 11:50 AM
Evernote does many things good but this program is scary slow. I have about 1000 notes and have upgraded to a paid subscription during certain months. But I always opt out as soon as I can. The program is a slug. In addition, it slows down other programs when it (on its own) decides to start syncing with the mother ship. ISN'T THERE ANY COMPETITION, OUT THERE? I'LL SWITCH IN A HEARTBEAT.

Has anyone tried out some of the other Evernote competitors? Aside from Evernote I've used OneNote, but I didn't like the lack of support that OneNote had outside of Windows/IE.
A new app I just read about is Catch, (http://catch.com/). It looks promising and it has a wide array of tools for cross platform support. Has anyone tried this one out?
- October 16, 2010 at 9:51 AM
I agree with everyone on here. Although my Evernote doesn't crash (running on Windows 7), I find it is very slow and I've only got 30-40 notes. The desktop app is sluggish to say the least. I just wanted a slightly better note taking alternative than the Outlook note feature, that I could sync with my blackberry. Evernote is ok for that, but it's not as earth shattering as the company makes it out to be.
The best solution for storing notes and knowledge material, for me, has always been the technical documents database template that ships with Lotus Notes. You can use rich text and attach files that you can launch and edit directly from inside in the document. It is the best implementation of file attach I have ever seen. The only problem is that Notes is a big and expensive application, and is usually deployed inside large companies running Lotus Notes/Domino as their mail servers. But as far as knowledge repositories go, Lotus Notes was the best I ever used and IMO it blows away onenote and EN put together.

Great tip, Geoff - I uninstalled the latest version and reinstalled v 22.214.171.1245. I'm back to the snappy Evernote desktop client I fell in love with.

It's December and I'm still having this issue. Is there any bug fix in sight? I have to agree - Evernote must know that this is happening, though I admit I haven't raised it to them personally :(
- December 7, 2010 at 9:39 PM
- Juan said...
Btw, if you haven't done so already, be sure to upgrade your Evernote client to the latest version. Evernote 4 is a lot better than the 3.5 client. I wrote an updated post about it here: http://digitalactivities.blogspot.com/2010/12/evernote-4.html

Juan, here is what I posted on your blog today, Jan. 3, 2011:
I made the switch to Evernote 4 a few days ago and did notice some improvement in the intolerably slow capture of sections from webpages (it's long ago that I desisted from capturing whole pages.)
However, the improvement lasted little; today, Jan. 3, 2011, with increased workload (and despite the fact that I am in a network ten times faster, as measured by ping times, than last week) Evernote has crawled to a halt.
Mind you, if the response is "it's faster with Explorer", I'll say that that's a bug, not a feature.
- January 3, 2011 at 2:27 PM
I love evernote on my ipad, but the desktop app just ruins it for me. Really looking for another app ??
- February 20, 2011 at 2:36 PM
If anyone us looking for Evernote replacement on mac, take a look at Together from reinvented software. It works much faster and better. It also syncs everything via dropbox. After years of being a premium evernote user, I has switched to Together for mac.
- March 1, 2011 at 7:49 AM
I decided to give it another try (must move off Google notebook some time) but have re-discovered why I didn't get on with it.
It is really slow, I have only used it for a day and they tell me I have used half of my monthly allowance (and I've only clipped about 10 pages max and a few PDF's)
And it just doesn't seem as intuitive as it should be - if I add tags and click on the tags on the left hand column nothing happens - why are you showing me the tagged documents you know you have????!!!!
- April 8, 2011 at 2:17 PM
Evernote is slow and it's getting worse. I do have one note with 28,000 chars. That shouldnt cause problems though.
I am looking at using google docs instead. They have gotten alot more mature and will allow me to do spreadhseets, pdfs, and even mp3s. Now I just need to find a good android client ;-)

I can't go on using the Desktop - an alternative to Evenernote is called for - I just haven't found it yet.
- May 2, 2011 at 3:34 PM
Editing Evernote on their website is slow also! It freezes my browser, Firefox, when scrolling and copy/paste within the note (with auto save off so it's not my network). I also find it frustrating with the wisygwig, some stuff I just can't adjust so I wish there is HTML mode for to fix it myself.
I've been using this for many years and I would switch to another better competitor in a heart beat, IF I can easily export my stuff.

I've been using Evernote for Windows for years, and that the poor performance is a constant thorn in my side.
I have a database of nearly 25,000 notes, and was promised when I moved to EN4 that the performance would radically improve. Nothing of the sort has happened, it is just as bad.
When I complained to tech support, after numerous emails back & forth their take on this was that it must be some other program on my laptop "that it is interacting with EN" to make it so slow.
Also, the Windows client is filled with small bugs. For example, the "font resize" keyboard shortcut Ctrl-[/] has been broken for six months. My numerous emails to Evernote tech support about this are ignored, so it's not like they don't know about the problem.
I find it really disappointing that a company that now has $170m in venture capital cannot provide a workable PC client.

Has anyone figured anything out with this? I am using 22.214.171.12453 and its ridiculous. I just dont understand how anything can function so poorly and yet be considered working normally. I have a fresh installation of Windows8 so it cant be my computer.
- May 19, 2013 at 3:44 AM
I too find Evernote getting progressively slower. I've told them a couple of times. But it only gets worse. It has come to a point where it's totally useless to me. I'm going to check out memopad and upvise and if I see them as reasonable alternatives I'll switch in a heartbeat.

Sprint Skips Clearwire Investment Opportunity
Article Comments
Eventually, Sprint Will Buyout.
I have been told that Sprint tried to purchase Clearwire for $5 a share and Clearwire dismissed the offer. Then Craig Mcgaw takes a walk. Once Clearwire drops in market value, I suspect talks will resume again.
The issues is not they want to purchase or not, it is Sprint has the capital to purchase it because they are getting whole a lot of customer but at the same time they are losing money... Don't you got too confuse what is it going on???
Which is of course why sprint will not buy their debt. They would rather let the company devalue so they can buy it than contribute to its success. Its the same reason sprint doesn't want to pay them their surcharge. That's the only rational reason I can think of.
finally someone has a rational thought. sprint wont pay a premium for something that isnt working as they thought. the 4g works good enough, but lte is going to be better. they are going to wait till clearwire the brand isnt worth much then scoop them up. they will switch to lte once the market demands it.

I thought everyone loved Goofy Flowers. :-)Thank you, Mandy. I just took a break to respond to comments, but what I was doing before this break was making you your planters. Hopefully I'll have them done by tomorrow.Thank you, dear whatnauts. :-)
Fun flowers, as usual. Thanks, Wendy.
Wendy your flowers are always fabulous, goofy or not!! These are particularly lovely :~))
I love goofy flowers. I did not know it before, but now I do. Thanks so much Wendy.
I think they've been squished by late snow and wild winds! Bless 'em, they're still hanging in there! :-))
Love the goofy flowers--they must be punch-drunk from trying to survive this spring! Thanks, Wendy! (5:41).
I think I might change my name to "Goofy Flowers"...it sort of fits me...lol...thanks Wendy.
Wendy - great fun to solve - and to look at. Did Goofy inspire you?? Oh, well - you've got lots of artistic imagaination yourself :-)))PJ
Goofy was fun and stress free. Thanks Wendy
I solve the puzzle you have put today; 7:32.Not so easy but still a fun puzzle,Willy

Anyway, I am thinking highly of switching from my current FXP prestige MP to either a FXP prestige Mid or technifibre Tfight 335 (18x20)...However, I haven't received the chance to demo either stick, but i find that the MP FXP prestige is way too powerful for me now, even strung with polyester @ 62lbs. So I am looking to go either Midsize FXP prestige or the Technifibre. Im leaning towards Technifibre, but havent gotten much from the posts on here about it... Can anyone give me suggestions on which racquet could up my game a little bit? I play real classic style, and i do like the feel of the FXP MP though. Thanks, any suggestions are great!

Manoj Murlidhar of IIFL PReMIA advises traders to go long on Axis Bank, Yes Bank, Syndicate Bank, IOB and Vijaya Bank.
Murlidhar told CNBC-TV18, "Banking is one sector which can dictate the direction of the market because of the weightage of almost 1/4th it has on the Nifty. Even on the roll over, the last three days, we saw long rolls happening in the banks and it was the Nifty which was being short hold, maybe to hedge the big cash portfolio of Rs 18,00 crore what FIIs have bought for the month of January."
He further added, "Axis Bank is one stock, which is still maintaining, obviously we have the corporate news in that. But apart from that, if I have to stick to stocks which have good value at risk or good cash based buying happening and a positive momentum on the derivative side, one would be Syndicate Bank, second would be IOB and third would be Vijaya Bank. This would be the three scrips which I feel would give you a positive return. This entire analysis is based on next 20 trading sessions because the value at risk is a leading indicator. It obviously would not make any difference with three-four odd sessions. So I am talking with respect to what the Budget might bring in and we have in the next 30 odd days. So if I have to stick on to longs, it would be Axis Bank, YES, Syndicate, IOB and Vijaya Bank definitely."

Since I love the prints so much, I decided to use my cut pieces for the exterior and the typewriter print for accents and lining. I'm so glad I stuck with it! I love the final result! I made just a couple of modifications. Instead of using a blanket stitch or applique for the accent, I cut the piece 1/2" bigger than suggested. Then I sewed a 1/2" line of basting stitches, clipped very close and turned it under. I was able to sew a nice clean line this way. I'm not big on a raw seam, no matter how it's finished, especially with a cotton fabric.
Park West Bag, and they also worked quite well. For the lining, I added a zippered pocket with a big pop of color. I do luvs me some color!
