Can you hear it? It's coming but you don't exactly know what it will be yet?
In this case, "It" is the next big thing in social media that a growing number of people seem anxious to see emerge. It's not a huge outcry yet but it's coming so be prepared.
Here are a couple of clues:
1. A story on Social Media Today asking "What's the next Twitter of the social Web?", in which the author explored whether the "next big thing" is location-based social networking, or video such as 12Seconds.TV or Qik.
2. A story on Mashable with the headline "Foursquare: Why It May be the Next Twitter", and a declaration that "Foursquare has all the right ingredients to be one of this year's big hits".
The reality is the digerati is getting restless. Twitter has been red-hot for the past eight to 10 months but Twitter is losing its appeal as the shiny, new toy.
The digerati want something new and exciting to get excited about. Twitter is still cool but it's becoming too popular and widespread to be seen as the property of bleeding and leading edge.
So, what is next? Maybe it's Google Wave, or mobile video now that the new 3G S iPhone is equipped with a video camera. Or maybe it's location-based services using smartphones with GPS.
Whatever the next "It will be, the natives are getting restless for something new and shiny.
What do you think it will be?
Update: Here's a blog post from SocialWayne asking whether Posterous is the "next big platform".

The demand for speed and power equipment, as well as for those who knew how to use them, resulted in the inevitable: the advent of the speed shop. One of the first, owned by Lee Chappel, catered to the go-fast guys in the mid-to-late 20s. The reader will note that the T-bodied street roadster in front has been lowered, but check out the full-tilt gow job on the right. Speed shops, such as Bell Auto and Blairs, were central in the development of pre- and post-war rodding.

After my 30 day shoot with the C100 and posting my likes and dislikes, I found that I was getting a lot of questions about what kind of mic I was using and what my overall strategy was regarding getting good quality audio in the field. So, I thought I would do a quick overview of how I set the camera up for sound.
Because Dean and I work as a two-person crew, Dean has to wear many hats and often steps in as an assistant director and kid/animal wrangler. When we're not shooting lengthy in-depth interviews, scripted host segments or other elements with tricky audio, we'll often rely on the camera mic to gather all the sound we need – so it has to do a pretty good job of it.
The Sennheiser ME64 is a great all-around camera mic. It's perfect for general b-reel and grabbing the odd quick interview or soundbite on my own if I'm in nice and tight. The sound quality matches quite nicely with all the other stuff Dean is recording. We also mount a G2 wireless receiver. This the primary way Dean feeds audio to the camera from his mixer. It's just so much easier and quicker just to turn it on and go rather than connecting and un-connecting audio. Plus, I'm much happier not being tethered to Dean and I'm sure he feels the same way. If we do encounter the occasional hit or dropout on the wireless signal, Dean always has a backup recording we can go to if needed.
On a side note, I really like to keep everything on my camera nice and tight – nothing lose, hanging off, bouncing around etc – it makes me crazy. I have all my audio cables made specifically for each camera I use. I get them the perfect length so there's no extra weight or cable in my way, and I generally add right-angle XLR connectors so they lay nice and flat. Don't hesitate to ask at your local camera shop for the same thing. Just take your camera and whatever mic or receiver you want to connect and have them measure everything and make some up for you. It's quite inexpensive and well worth it!
To learn more about camera mounted mics in general and why the ME64 is our choice for a great shotgun, check out this video we posted a few months ago – lots of great info from Dean!

January 2, 2014, 4:55 am /

Hi Scott,
Thanks for the video. What brand and model is the shock mount you are using for the ME 64 on the C100?

Valparaiso, IN (Sports Network) - Valparaiso and men's basketball coach Bryce Drew have agreed on a new 10-year contract, the school announced Wednesday.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Drew, who famously made a buzzer-beater to give Valparaiso its first NCAA Tournament win in 1998, replaced his father Homer as head coach in May 2011.
The younger Drew is 55-25 as head coach of the Crusaders, including 7-5 this season. He was the fastest coach in program history to reach 50 wins, doing it in the second game this season.
He led the Crusaders to regular-season Horizon League titles in his first two seasons and a berth in the NCAA Tournament in the second season.
Drew said in a statement that "coming to work does not feel like a job but a part of who I am."
He graduated from the school in 1998 after starting for four years on the basketball team and played six seasons in the NBA for the Rockets, Bulls and Hornets, averaging 4.4 points in 243 career games.

Nothing inspires murderous mayhem in human beings more reliably than sexual repression. Denied food, water, or freedom of movement, people will get desperate and some may lash out at what they perceive as the source of their problems, albeit in a weakened state. But if expression of sexuality is thwarted, the human psyche tends to grow twisted into grotesque, enraged perversions of desire. Unfortunately, the distorted rage resulting from sexual repression rarely takes the form of rebellion against the people and institutions behind the repression. (If it did, perhaps we'd be reading of abused priests rather than priests as abusers.) Instead, the rage is generally directed at helpless victims who are sacrificed to the sick gods of guilt, shame, and ignorant pride.
Today, the BBC reports that Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi, an Iranian cleric, has declared that, "Many women who do not dress modestly lead young men astray and spread adultery in society which increases earthquakes." I think we can assume he said this with a straight face, Iranian clerics not being known for their impish sense of humor.

Daniel E. Musser pleaded guilty to manslaughter and drunken-driving charges today in connection with the March 2009 wrong-way crash that killed Connecticut College student Elizabeth Durante and seriously injured two other students.
Musser will be sentenced June 30 to up to eight years in prison.
Today in Norwich Superior Court, Musser pleaded gulty to second-degree manslaughter with a motor vehicle, two counts of first-degree reckless endangerment, two counts of second-degree assault with a motor vehicle, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and driving a motor vehicle without insurance.
Musser, a sailor who was stationed at the Naval Submarine Base in Groton and lived on Michelle Lane in Groton, was driving in the wrong direction on Interstate 395 in a Honda Accord that struck head-on a van carrying Durante and other students to Boston's Logan International Airport, where they were going to board a flight for a humanitarian mission to Uganda.
Durante, a 20-year-old junior pre-med student from West Islip, N.Y., was thrown from the van and died at the scene. Seven other students in the van and its driver were treated and released from area hospitals.
Musser told state police he had four or five drinks at the Ultra 88 club at Mohegan Sun over the course of the night. He had a blood-alcohol content of 0.13 when tested following the crash. The legal limit for driving in Connecticut is 0.08. He was arrested at the scene and has been held on a $300,000 bond while his case was pending in Superior Court in Norwich.
According to state police, Musser left the casino shortly after 3:30 a.m. and became confused when he tried to enter Route 2A.
Instead of getting on the westbound lanes of Route 2A, he drove his car onto the eastbound side of the highway and headed west to the interstate, which he accessed by driving the wrong way down the Interstate 395 off-ramp.
Durante's mother, Kathleen Hurley Durante, has brought a wrongful death lawsuit against Patrick T. Lyons, permittee of the Ultra 88 and Lucky's Nightclubs at Mohegan Sun, and against the club's financial backers, called Plan B LLC.
Musser, a native of Missouri, has been discharged from the Navy.

Dave Watson

Caretaker Manager
April - June 1997
With the threat of relegation gaining momentum, the ever-faithful Goodison legend Dave Watson assumed the mantle left by Joe Royle.
With only seven games left to avoid another period of relegation, Watson, already a central element of the team, threw his energies into managing a team only too familiar with defeat.
Watson's dedication, enthusiasm, and fierce energy were successful off the pitch as well as on. The win and three draws he guided the team to were enough to keep Everton in the League for another season.
Not yet ready for the move into management, and with Howard Kendall returning yet again as manager, Watson gratefully returned to his real love: playing, which he did at Goodison for another three years.

Hey guys.
I apologize for the hiatus, but I've just been dealing with some personal things. I was trying and trying to rack my brain about a certain decision, and I finally made up my mind.
Unfortunately, I will be closing Once Upon A Time Rp. It's just been too difficult for me to keep it up and I just don't have the same feeling for it as I did before. I may try to revamp it during the summer, try a revival, but I don't have much hope for it.
To those of you who stayed with us until the end, I'm so sorry for doing this, but I hope you're able to continue on to rp together in your lives.

This was so bitter tasting we had to add lots of extra sugar to make it barely edible. We couldn't tell what part of the recipe was a fail. Too much cilantro? Olive oil contributes an incompatible flavor? This was so bad I'll just walk away, without trying to tweak it. And by the way, it required 4 large grapefruits to get the two cups.
Shallot and Grapefruit Dressing

Drizzle this zesty, citrusy dressing over mixed gourmet greens topped with goat cheese and roasted corn. You can squeeze your own grapefruit juice or look for fresh grapefruit juice in the produce section of the grocery store.

I mean, just think of ALL the PEOPLE Blizzard is serving by releasing this phone application to the .00012% of people that actually own a $300 iPhone!
Now I can be twice as frustrated that I STILL don't have protection from hackers.
Seriously, why would you develop an application for one of the most hi-tech devices on the market today *before* releasing a generic application for the rest of the major brands simultaneously?
Sorry for all the QQ, but my account was recently hacked and it just seems like Blizzard is going about this backwards.
There is no such thing as a "generic application for the rest of the major brands"; you need to get the app to run on a bunch of different devices which may have different processors/OSes, and then have each cell provider - not manufacturer - approve the device for use on their cell network.
iPhone: standard platform, one organization to approve the app, 30 million customers. (Counting iPod touches, which can also run this.)
A big reason why the iPhone has been successful is because it manages to create a software distribution process that doesn't cause your sanity to run out your ears.

The board of trustees of Baltimore International College has signed a letter of intent to merge with Virginia-based Stratford University, a move the board chairman hopes will end an accreditation crisis that threatened to close the downtown culinary college.
"We have much in common," said Baltimore International Chairman Charles Nabit in explaining the proposed merger, which is to be announced Monday. "Our missions are very similar. Our student bodies are very similar in terms of drawing from an urban population. There's almost a 100 percent overlap in terms of identity and interest in culinary education."
Stratford President Richard Shurtz agreed that his existing culinary program is similar to the one offered at Baltimore International. He said his university is perfectly equipped to address the problems cited by a review panel that voted to strip Baltimore International of its accreditation by Aug. 31.
"What we add is a lot of focus on staff development," Shurtz said. "How do you measure how well students think critically, how they solve problems, how well they write? We can enhance their programs in those core areas."
Stratford would assume control of Baltimore International on Jan. 1, pending approval of the takeover by the Maryland Higher Education Commission, Stratford's accreditation organization and financial institutions holding the college's debt.
Matthew Barnett, a Baltimore International student from Glen Burnie, was excited to hear of the merger after several months of uncertainty about his college's fate. "I'm all for it," he said. "Any way that we can stay open and our chefs can keep their jobs, I'm happy about it."
Barnett, who would graduate in May, said many of his classmates transferred because of fears that Baltimore International would close, but said he could not have moved because of his family situation.
"I'm just glad I'll be able to graduate from the place where I started," he said.
Stratford is a for-profit university based in Falls Church, with campuses in Woodbridge and Richmond, Va., and New Delhi, India. The 35-year-old institution, which specializes in job-specific training and serves large numbers of international students, offers the culinary and hotel management programs that are Baltimore International's bread and butter.
Stratford is not governed by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, which announced in June that it would pull Baltimore International's accreditation at the end of this month. The Middle States Commission could not be reached Sunday for comment. Stratford is accredited by the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools and the American Culinary Federation Education Foundation.
Nabit said the merger would essentially allow Baltimore International to start over in the accreditation process. "Middle States will have no further jurisdiction over us and that is a blessing," he said.
Without the accreditation, Baltimore International would have been unable to receive the federal financial aid that is its lifeblood.
The decision trapped students and faculty members in a state of limbo as they awaited word of an appeal or merger. The college dissuaded new students from applying this summer because of the unsettled situation.
Nabit said Baltimore International will continue to operate this fall as it awaits the takeover. The college will likely have to file an appeal with Middle States to maintain its accreditation during that time, but Nabit said approximately 100 students who are near graduation should be able to finish their degrees by the end of the year.
Nabit said other students should be able to make fairly seamless transitions to Stratford if they choose to make the switch. He said the college plans to resume recruiting new students by November, when officials hope the takeover will be fully approved.
Stratford representatives will hold information sessions for Baltimore International students on Wednesday at 11:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. Shurtz said most academic credits will transfer to Stratford and said tuition will actually be cheaper after the takeover.
Nabit said he also expects many faculty and staff members to be retained. "Their plan is to interview all faculty and all staff to determine who fits their program," he said. "So far, we've heard nothing but positive indications that they see a lot of strengths in our faculty and staff."
Shurtz agreed. "It's really a great faculty," he said. "Our goal is to keep as many as we can. They're just looking for a little guidance as to where they need to go and what they need to change."
A final report by the Middle States review team that visited Baltimore International in late April painted a damning picture of a college with little grasp of how to retain students, measure academic performance or generate revenue from sources other than tuition.

Super busy summer for me. Here's a cavalcade of styles I did thus far. Thanks Abby, Michelle and Allison !!
The wedding actually took place in East Setauket on Long Island this past Fall. Janet and her maids were a dream to work for. Here are some shots of the bride and couple. And that DRESS!!!
This wedding took place in Greenwich Village at the original Real World New York house. Granted, the decor has changed but the grandeur the same, if not more amazing. I did the hair for the bride, maids, moms, and flower girls.
This wedding started at the amazing Le Parker Meridien Hotel. It was sooo much fun. I did the hair for the bride and maids.
This wedding took place late summer in Bryant Park. I did the hair for the bride, maids and moms.
A gorgeous event of my friends' Christina and John. Their wedding last spring '10.
Thanks again for letting me partake in your glorious event. Love you guys!!
These two brides were gracious enough to send me some images from their weddings that I was honored to be part of last year.
Thanks again Mollie and BillieJean!!
these pics are from a handful of years back. they were for a fetish fashion magazine back in atlanta.
the day was fairly warm. the sun was blaring. i wanted that water. although there is an icy longing in these images.
thank the elements this was inside. we had fun with that smoke machine;).

Women's basketball holds on for win over Santa Clara
Boxscore | NC Season Stats
GREELEY, Colo. – A 10-0 run late in the first half gave the Northern Colorado women's basketball team a 14-point lead against Santa Clara and the Bears held on for the 65-57 win in Butler-Hancock on Wednesday evening.
The Broncos (0-2) fought back to knot the score at 43-43 with 12:04 to play, but the Bears (2-1) scored 10 of the next 12 points to retain the lead and win their second straight game.
"Santa Clara's inside game really stepped up in the second half," said head coach Jaime White. "Both (Lena Gipson) and (Lindsay Leo) were very physical. I have been preaching to the team every day that our defense is going to create good offense. We were smarter in the second half in our transition game and we took better care of the ball. I also thought we did a good job of taking what was given to us by the defense."
Northern Colorado had nine steals in the game, five by freshman guard D'shara Strange and the Bears were able to score 29 points off SCU turnovers.
"We felt the lead slipping away," White said. "They were getting the ball inside and either making shots or getting fouls. Our ability to fight back and take the lead is huge. The team felt the same way against South Dakota and knew what we had to do was score and get stops and they did that."
Strange and junior forward Kaisha Brown each scored 16 points, while senior guard Courtney Stoermer added 12. Sophomore forward Lauren Oosdyke had a team-best nine rebounds and added three steals on the night. Stoermer also had a team-high four assists.
Santa Clara was led by Alyssa Shoji with 16 points, thanks in part to four deep three-pointers. Gipson scored 13 and tied for game honors with nine rebounds and Leo added 12 points. Meagan Fulps also had a game-best six assists.
The Bears continued to shoot well, connecting on .442 from the field for the game and were .333 from the arc. The team shot .682 from the free throw line, but made six of their final eight when the Broncos were fouling to try to get the ball back.
"I didn't feel great about our free throws tonight," stated White. "But we were still better than the opening game and we'll continue to work on them in practice."
Northern Colorado hits the road for the first time, traveling to Iowa City for the Hawkeye Challenge on Saturday and Sunday. The Bears play Central Michigan in the opening round and then either Northeastern or host Iowa in the second round. The game will be a homecoming for seniors Stoermer and Jayne Strand as well as Brown, who all call Iowa home.

Earlier this week it was announced that Gary Fisher as a bicycle brand will be discontinued. Gary Fisher and his bikes aren't going anywhere, but they will become a "Gary Fisher Collection" for Trek Bikes in 2011. There are pro's and con's of this which I won't bore you of. The biggest pro I want to mention today is Trek's "Gary Fisher Collection" Twenty Niner WSD bikes.
A price point 29er that came out a couple years back. 24 speeds, coil fork but nice high aluminum frame and disc brakes. A great place to try the 29er wheel size.
On the other end of the 29er spectrum from the Mamba is the X-Caliber. 30 gears, with the new 10 speed SRAM X-7, hydraulic disc brakes and all the bells and whistles you need to keep you happy for a long time.
Nutrition is an under used term for the novice cyclist or athlete. For the professional, it is the way of life. They run their engine like NASCAR builds their cars, with precision. For the past few months I've put my family in some sort of science experiment with various types of nutrition supplements and varieties.
nuun is a electrolyte replacement, with a little flare. These little tablets come in 8 flavors, and are kept in plastic tube to keep them readily available on long rides. With available flavors like Kona Cola, which tastes exactly like Coca Cola, and Lemon+Lime, tastes like Sprite, or Banananuun. My personal favorites will always be the fruity styles like Citrus Fruit or Tri-Berry.
The flavor isn't the only unique feature of Nuun.
If you are like me, you use various bikes for different reasons. We've already talked about my obsession with my basket but I also use panniers and a messenger bag. Because of this I am always moving my tools between bags or bikes. Most of my daily bikes have a designated seat bag under the saddle but for my daily commuter I need something that can easily move and keep all my tools in one place.
There are many of these sort of these rolls or burrito style bags out there, but this one by far has the most style points. Custom made for you! Their average bag goes for around $20, and they also make larger ones or specific ones for your tubular tires.
- Larger pocket for a road or mountain tube.
- Medium pocket for tools and tire levers
- Tiny little pocket for patches.
- Cotton Duck fabric construction. Heavy material same as Carhartt.
- 1″ Tubular Webbing with a Quick Release closure.
Keep your tools from getting lost in the the bottom of your bag or stashed in your jersey pocket.
-Open: 12″(w) x 10″(h)
-Closed: About the size of a wallet, depending on how much you stuff it.
I'll have more photos and a full review once the one I am ordering arrives!

GORE-TEX® Paclite® Shell
Options : 4 colors, 6 sizes
This waterproof and breathable road cycling jacket offers great protection in bad weather conditions. Plus it will fit in any backpack folded up.
A compact, completely waterproof jacket even down to the taped seams. It is able to zip up in to its own rear pocket, making this a very small and easy to carry jacket. Because all of the rain that the Southeast had been having this spring I've kept this jacket in my messenger bag at all times.
Once I see how this jacket does with wear and tear I'll upload a video for you all to see the highlights and key features, or negatives concerns of course.

This past Saturday I suited up for a 6 hour mountain bike race. I haven't been able to get on the bike that often lately, especially the mountain bike. The course was found in Wilkesboro, NC, and was a rather hilly course. One thing to know about where I am from (Charlotte, NC) does not have hills, so this race was going to be the awakening.
When I suited up, I did something that I tell all customers not to do – I put on a brand new, never tried, pair of bib-shorts. The shorts were awesome, black and white, matching my team jersey perfectly. I was very wary of the brand new shorts, so I lubed up well with the DZ Nuts chamois creme.
My arse, nor soft tissue areas, bothered me at all. It seems that I found a tri-fecta, between the Gore Power Bibs, DZ Nuts, and Fizik Vesta saddle.
I've now used the DZ Nuts a few times and can say it is doing its job. Reminding me a lot of the Assos creme, minus the build up of extra lube. The Assos seems to thick for women but DZ Nuts really does the job well.
4.75 out of 5 : Would of ranked higher if I could of sourced the DZ Bliss, womens specific type, but everyone was out of this.

The end of October I was approached by Lab-Gear to review a few of their new woman's line, 99. Today we are going to go over the pro's and con's, as well as share some photos of the different shirts we reviewed. First, make sure to read our preview from December.
One thing very unique about Lab-Gear was the process of ordering these garments. You go through a whole build out picking sizing, color weighs, and options. The options include a GT Stripe (racing stripe,) thumb holes, and various stitching for the cuff and collars.
After submitting your order the customer service is top notch. At anytime it is telling you where your order is along in their system. Finally, you take delivery. They are wrapped up nicely like a brilliant gift for you. Made exclusively for you! It happened also, to be delivered on my birthday.
This is a lighter weight long sleeve top. Easily worn with jeans or on your favorite long ride. We chose to build out our 99 tops to match well together as you can see in the photos. Due to this being very close to your skin, if you are sensitive to wool, you may get itchy while wearing this top.
Merino wool does its job, even though a very thin (tshirt like) top. This guy will keep you warm by itself on slightly chilly days, or team it up with the 99 Mid to have a very warm outfit.
With the fitting we decided to order the top to be a fashion fit. Not too tight, but a normal size you would by from a clothing store. The shirt fits well, but is on the shorter side for the size it is fitting.
As an outerwear top it is not quite a jersey, not quite a full on jacket. It reminded me a lot of a track style jacket. The Mid has a higher collar, thicker weave of merino and a zipper collar.
We ordered this top a size bigger than the T as it was going to be worn over other tops. Teaming the Mid and T up together is going to be the perfect spring morning ride apparel. The colors we decided on go well together for the pieces separate or together.
The cost are high for these tops, but merino wool comes at a price, as does customizing to your own liking. At the time of typing this the convert of currency from AUS to USD is:
$130 for the Mid
$78.35 for the T
After a couple months of weekly use, washing, wearing and riding in - these tops look brand new. This isn't normally the case with wool, you often get pulling or threads snagged.
The Mid will be a great purchase for multi use, and the T is a dream if you are a fan of wool.
Ritchey Bicycle Components have released a new shallow drop road bar, Curve Bar, available in aluminum or carbon. With a respectable 235g (alum) and 210g (carbon) this handlebar could be found on many women's bars in the upcoming season. Pricing will be between $95-285 dependent on alum/carbon.
•Fixed shallow 128mm drop with a smooth transition for a comfortable hand position
•Allows rider to set up for aggressive positioning in the drops as well as the tops
•Extended center section is compatible with clip-on bars
•Sanded stem and brake lever mount sections for no-slip component grip
•Available in 40/42/44cm widths
•Drop/Reach: 128/73mm
I hope to get a pair of these in on my cyclocross bike, I think the drop and reach would compliment cantilevers very well. Keep your eye out for those coming to the Bike Shop Girl headquarters.
This past weekend, while at the North American Handmade Bicycle Show, I was able to talk with Sheila Moon – provider of fine cycling clothing. While I finish up the video clip of our interview, I'm going to tease you with a few photos of her clothing.
Rapha, the fine company that makes the clothing threads of many cyclist "lust list." You pray a pretty penny for their clothing, but it will delivery over and over again compared to some of those other main stream brands. Their clothing is designed by cyclist, for cyclist. The type of cyclist that will ride all day in a pair of shorts, through rain and snow to pull those same shorts on the next day with barely a washing. This clothing is the type you dream about, that smart people save for and you can bet that it is on my "lust list."
Let me introduce you to the Rapha "lust list" for women. Starting with their basic classic jersey, to a good quality short and finally their Stowaway Jacket. Add these to your wish list, and be ready to click "buy now" when the time is available.

This book has a striking title with a handsome picture of a young black man named Joseph Boulogne, Chevalier de Saint-George, on the front cover. Before There Was Mozart was written by a husband and wife team, Lesa Cline-Ransome and James E. Ransome. They used beautiful oil paintings as illustrations which complements the era and setting of the story.

Spring Is Here by Will Hillenbrand is a nice bright springy book that will attract young readers. Of course the pages are very colorful with pictures and short reading sentences. The story line is great: Mole is excited about spring coming in. He spends his time trying to wake up Bear to celebrate the spring season. But, Bear will not wake up, and so Mole does some things to get Bear up.

For those of us who are old enough to remember John F. Kennedy, think about what you were doing when they held his funeral. I was around 5 or 6 years old, and I remember seeing something like a horse and buggy with the U.S. flag hanging over it. I remember thinking to myself, why are they showing this over and over on television? At the time, I did not know that JFK was a very important man. He was one of America's favorite and unforgettable presidents.

Have you ever heard of the old Easter Bunny story from Germany? It's about how the Easter Bunny became a part of the Easter holiday. A woman hid very colorful Easter eggs outdoors. Her children went out to hunt for them. As they were going out, they saw a rabbit hop by. From that moment, her children thought the rabbit brought the Easter eggs. Presently, parents are still telling their children that the Easter Bunny brings beautiful colored eggs. The Easter Bunny is a sign that Easter is almost here.
The Easter egg is a symbol of new life. For thousands of years, eggs were part of many spring festivals. People would color eggs and give them to one another.
Some Easter colors are white, yellow and green. White stands for purity, and yellow is for sunlight. Green is the color of nature, and it stands for spring and rebirth.

Nothing but Trouble: The Story of Althea Gibson is a good book to teach children about encouragement. Althea is well known for being the first African-American tennis player to break the color barrier in 1949. From the early years of her life, her family referred to her as "nothing but trouble." They said Althea was a "wild tomboy" and that she loved sports. She would play basketball late into the night, not return from recess at school and roam the streets of Harlem, New York. Today, Althea would probably be considered a troubled child, but she turned out to be the number one ranked female tennis player in the world.

One of America's old-time boxing champions, Joe Louis, has been resurrected in the book Joe Louis: America's Fighter by David A. Adler. This picture book is an excellent source of history for young children.
Starting with the vibrant picture on the cover, the book emphasizes power, strength and security for America during that time. It has a very nice illustration of Joe Louis with deep, dark brown skin, strong healthy arms, and huge brown boxing gloves that won him many fights.

The angel from last year was broken in half. Tyler wonders, "Why do angels all look like girls?" "Can't boys be angels?" "Why do they all have gold hair?" asked Tyler, "And why are they always pink? Aren't there any black angels?" Because of all these questions, he decides that he is going to find an angel for the family tree.

"Tempting fate" is a necessary way of life for women and other vulnerable groups, and we are already more afraid and less free than you likely realize.
We women tempt fate every day of our lives, not through foolish and lackadaisical refusal to take simple precautions, but because by the very nature of our existence we tempt fate. We tempt fate by having, on average and due to our biology, physically weaker arm muscles than men. We tempt fate by having vaginas. We tempt fate by going to bed at night in our homes and by living as single women. We tempt fate by engaging in relationships. We tempt fate by becoming pregnant and having children. We tempt fate by leaving abusive relationships. We tempt fate by going out with friends. We tempt fate by engaging in healthy and unhealthy behaviors. We tempt fate by following and ignoring rules. We tempt fate by entering public spaces and living in private spaces. We tempt fate by running errands in broad daylight, as this recent abduction and rape in Baton Rouge reminded us."
-This is an excellent response piece after the violent murder of Mickey Shunick, a young woman from south Louisiana who was followed, intentionally hit while biking, abducted, then brutally assaulted. There has been much victim blaming for her riding her bike home late at night by herself, I appreciate an article that counters that stance.

"I was drawn to the only hope I could see that Charles, not just some aspect of him, but my brother, would live on: the hope of resurrection," Bradley said. "Re-examining the claim of Christ's resurrection, I … became persuaded that God had raised Christ."
He tried to ground his faith solely in the Bible, but that seemed impossible. Christianity's sacred book does not offer a single, easy-to-grasp set of beliefs; it has to be interpreted through some kind of lens. He chose a vague kind of Protestantism.

As Bradley returned to devotional life, he felt drawn to the one book he knew would bring him even closer to Jesus: the Book of Mormon.
"I didn't believe in the Book of Mormon per se," he said, "but if it had worked so well for me before, why not use it now?"
So he become a devoted, though not believing, Mormon.
Faith reawakened » At USU, Bradley worked on a little-studied element of early Mormonism — the first 116 Book of Mormon pages, which Smith said he translated and shared with a friend, who then lost them.
Bradley found primary and published documents that described the lost content and, piece by piece, he began to see more clearly Smith's grander vision for his restored Christianity.
"Using my same historical-critical methodology I found things … good things, that bowled me over," he said. "I discovered that Joseph Smith's early religious claims and texts already anticipated Nauvoo Mormonism, and that his early prophetic narratives displayed a complexity, power and intricate relationship with the Bible beyond what I could grasp a teenage boy coming up with."
While looking for reasons to believe that Smith was an opportunist after money, sex and power, Bradley found a number. But when he sought examples of how the Mormon founder benefited others and served religious purposes, he found even more.
He could now re-embrace Smith, not in a simplified way but as a complicated man capable of revealing God's messages to the world.
"The questions we ask largely determine the kinds of answers we find," Bradley said. "I had pushed the cynical interpretation as far as it could go, tried to explain as much as I could using that model, only to find the model ultimately deficient. It could not explain the spiritual power of Joseph Smith and of the faith he founded. … I have no doubt, on historical grounds alone, that Joseph Smith is vastly bigger than the cynical caricature of him and that he was a sincere seeker after truth and a magnanimous soul."
At the same time, Bradley regained his faith in the validity of religious experience and a church's good works.
Bradley's longtime friend Trevor Luke, who teaches classics at Florida State University, saw this transformation.
"He really believes that he's experienced the presence of God," Luke said. "At one point in time, he tried to explain it away, but when he looked back, he saw that it was a miraculous event and he wasn't going to reject it."
Not sure what to do, Bradley met with an unknown neighbor who would be his current bishop. The man was nonjudgmental and welcoming, telling him he would have to answer the questions he had asked in his resignation letter.
Oh, yes, and go through the lessons with 19-year-old missionaries — like Bradley used to be.
Though approaching the experience as a kind of anthropologist, Bradley said, "I experienced something my own investigators had described, that during the discussions and after, there was a light with me."
Five months after Bradley rejoined the faith, he was invited to work on the church's "Joseph Smith Papers" project, he said. All his temple and priesthood blessings were restored.
"In the eyes of the church, it was as if I'd never left," Bradley said in his speech. "I can tell you with certainty: It is a gospel of forgiveness."
Barlow was surprised to get an invitation to Bradley's rebaptism into the LDS Church but had noticed subtle changes in his student's tone and approach to Mormon history.Next Page >

Been seeing this guy more then I should be. Plan was to not get to attached before my travels. How can you not meet someone when it possibly was meant to be… I try really hard not to provote it, in fact ive been fighting it more then just letting it happen.
Plans fell through with a friend and he invited me to a gig in Terrigal where he would play at a coffee shop by the beach. Could use some time alone-ish at a coffee shop, where I plan to do it a lot over seas. I didn't mind it, was peaceful. The charming singer/song writer helped of course. Trying not to stare, every time I looked up he would glance across and smile. I love the way hes music projects while he smiles through his singing, melts my little heart!
I wondered the shops, bought a few things including a little book to take back and draw in. Had a cigarette on the beach before heading back to the coffee shop.
He bought me lunch with the money he made from selling CDs in the time he was there. Was a sweet gesture as I know he never has any money.
Was a big race back as his parents where going to be at his place shortly and we both had mothers day dinners to make it to. Oh and he had to hide the Pot plants before his parents found them.
Plan was to ditched the things I had upstairs and drive straight home, no need for me to meet the parents, very unnecessary.
As we roll up they are sitting out the front, I started to panic and pack my things, he hasnt even mentioned me to them. Like who am I to him anyways?
I turn around to head straight to my car but… it was windy that day… and a branch had fallen straight into the drivers side of my car! Smashing the front window… "whos pore bastards car is that D" Hi Mum, yeh thats Sams car, this is Sam… "Oh, sorry, nice to meet you". Yup that's my car, just my luck. Did I ever tell you my life is just one big inconvenience.
"Looks like you are coming to mothers day dinner with my family after all" he was smiling during this point and I wasnt sure if he was generally happy about it or trying not to make me feel bad about the unfortunate branch that lodged itself into my car! Most likely the second one.
So weather we were happy about it or not, I met the parents over dinner.
Why I say crazy, well. It could have been the best plan ive even seen roll out in front of my eyes.
When I showed up to his house, he knocked on the neighbours door.
Here he could of pointed out the targeted car.
When we drove home to Terrigal and he begs me to come back that night.
Here I go to leave and there is a branch directly on the drivers side, making it unable to drive. Branch or Golf club?
Ive now been unable to leave (held captive) for now 3 nights at his house while my windscreen gets repaired. Two people now that have said the word. Fate. To me.
I'm going to stick with crazy and see what else the universe spits out for us.

Hi! I'm Bethan, or Aschenputtel, which is German for Cinderella. I'm enthusiastic about languages. I enjoy procrastinating, of which daydreaming is my favourite form. I'm also a huge lover of mythology, all things grape flavour, and silent films. I'm an unlikely fan of goth and dark cabaret music, because where else is better to look for twisted inspiration? A big shout out to The Cure, Jack Off Jill, Dresden Dolls, The Birthday Massacre and Morgan Kibby in all her incarnations among many others. In books, I have a weakness for murderers, blondes and the gruesome. Fairytales were my first love, and my love of other worlds spreads across many genres, though my heart resides with steampunk and dystopia.

I wrote this little cheat sheet for some friends a few years ago. Most of it's still accurate. When Reading A Comic…
-If a guy shoots another guy, and there's a closeup of the brain matter and the killer mutters some Tarantino-esque quip, it's Garth Ennis.
-If a guy shoots a guy to stop a government experiment from running amok, it's Warren Ellis.
-If a guy shoots a guy in order to maintain his secret identity, it's Ed Brubaker.
-If a guy shoots a guy because it's the only way to get gravity from sliding everything sideways, it's Grant Morrison.
-If a guy shoots a guy with a gun whose handle was crafted from bones of the last King of the Snuffalupagus, it's Neil Gaiman.
-If a guy shoots a guy who useta tease the first guy back when they were kids, then the dead dude's girlfriend sees what a real man the killer is and starts sucking his dick while simultaneously managing to talk about how awesome the guy is, and there's a poster for "Boondock Saints" in the background, then it's Mark Millar.
-If a guy shoots a guy and it makes you question the choices you've made in your life, it's Alan Moore.
-If a guy shoots a guy and goes to work the next day like nothing happened, but he sees the face of the dead man in everyone he encounters, haunting his life forever, (oh, and then it kicks off a line-wide crossover) it's Brian Michael Bendis.
-If a guy shoots a guy and there's a half-page flashback/exposition of it in every single subsequent issue, it's Chris Claremont.
-If a guy shoots a guy in Canada, it's John Byrne.
-If a guy shoots a guy, and it's fuckin' hilarious, it's Keith Giffen.

"That's barely touching the surface though. We got medical researchers printing organs, governments listening in to global communication traffic, people skydiving from space for a laugh, the military is flying the same kind of drones that rain unseen death in distant war zones over our own cities.
Just in my living room I have tablets that let me control my camera. Camera's that'll post the pictures I take onto social networks. I have a entertainment station that can watch what I do and respond accordingly. I talked to a bot on the Ikea website to find out which storage isle holds the furniture I want. My university is building chips the size of a finger nail that do work that used to take an entire laboratory.
I watched people struggle to outrun a tsunami real time over the internet. I programmed swarming agents that adjust their behavior based on how people are moving around an art gallery. I once photographed a large event by strapping my smart phone to my wrist. The hash tagged twitter stream on my smart phone let me know where the most interesting things were happening at any given time. Any time I took a picture, the camera would post it to the event facebook. While I was working I was wearing a small camera on my harness that live streamed everything I saw and did, I felt like a damn Gargoyle.
I work with students who figured out the optimal locations to buy physical advertising space by mass processing social media data from our specific target audience to figure out which bus stops are used the most, which (brand) stores they visit most and which venues they like to go out at night.
My own assistant hacked his coffee maker to have a pot ready based on information it gleans independently from his whatsapp, social media and calendar information. If he says something like I'll be home soon or the coffeemaker can check his current smartphone GPS location against estimated travel times and have coffee ready when he get's home. He hacked it together just to see if he could.
The thing about cyber punk is that it sounds futuristic and futuristic implies better than we have now. The reality is that our world is more cyber punk than an artificial owl. Most people will never notice though because they'll take everything for granted and never look at how much further they could take things with a bit of work."

Editors' Top PicksSee All
The TDK Three Speaker Boombox is a jaw-dropping monolith of metal, leather, and glossy acrylic that is impossible to ignore. It is the Bose SoundDock's Harley-riding, chain-smoking, evil twin. As such, it's not for everyone, but this $499 speaker box is a welcome change of scenery in the otherwise dull landscape of lookalike iPod/iPhone speakers.
The real show-stopper of TDK's boom box is the design, which strikes a balance between retro hi-fi, '80s nostalgia, and a Syd Mead-like futuristic look. We've seen the retro, machined knob hi-fi look done before on systems like the Soundfreaq Sound Platform , but the materials were all plastic. We've seen '80s boom box nostalgia nailed with the Lasonic i931 , but again, the materials were plastic and the sonics were awful. Even the whole daring futuristic speaker design has been trudged out before by companies such as Altec Lansing and Harman Kardon --but the TDK box raises the stakes.
Materials are a big part of the appeal. The top of the TDK boom box is framed with a wide slab of thick aluminum--not a facsimile. The back is covered by a smooth matte black plastic, broken up with three screws that conceal a compartment for 12 D-cell batteries (wall adapter also included). For the handle, the metal plank includes a cutaway for your hand and leather padding across the whole length--which you'll appreciate if you ever try to pick this behemoth off the ground.
The front is covered with a piano-black gloss acrylic that smudges easily but looks great. Not helping the smudge factor is the fact that the buttons for audio source, station preset, playback control, and other functions are accessed using illuminated capacitive touch controls located above the speaker array. To the left and right of these buttons are two gloriously oversize aluminum knobs that control volume, radio tuning, and other functions. Oh, and by the way, the volume knob goes to 11 (yes, we're serious).
In spite of our enthusiasm, there are some design disappointments on the TDK boom box. Instead of offering a proper dock or enclosure for your connected iPhone or iPod, the speaker system gives you little more than a padded indentation on the top. In fairness, TDK's design decision makes it easier to use with a broad range of audio devices (heck, you could place an old Walkman up there), and leads to a more future-proof design. Still, a secure space to dock your precious iPhone would be nice.

Did they fix the fact that I can't post any pics other than what's in Camera Roll?..
Updating cover photo for iPhone only? Really? I'd like to know why that is
I never understood why they took that feature out? It was in a previous version, 3xx something, not a big fan of the app
We need more customizations from Facebook.
In the nearby section you can no longer see which friends are close anymore. They only allow you to see restaurants gas stations and stores. Don't ever even use this anymore. Disappointing again...
That's why I save all my old versions of apps.... FB 5.0.1 was the last version that allowed posting pics from locations other than just Camera Roll!! Stupid...I hacked the plist file so i dont have to look at update badge n have that ver on my phone...I'll never update again till they fix that...
apparently the features differ- just as you see so many iphone tweaks compared ipad tweaks... on the tweak side- the developer lacks the interest to modify for ipad- as for apple I'm sure they are working on it, I'm sure the iphone user experience will yield much better feedback. . .
NOW there's just this small matter of removing a top end from a lower end
