Tour de France 2012 (Poster by Chungkong)
Tonight's stage between Vise and Tournai will be one for the sprinters. Please join us for live blogging of Stage 2 of the 2012 Tour de France. Live coverage will begin at 10pm AEST.
With 207.5 kilometres over mainly flat Belgian terrain, Mark Cavendish and company will finally get a chance to stretch their legs and test their Tour form.
With the 2.1km climb to the Citadel of Namur the only categorised climb, the likes of Cavendish, Goss, Renshaw, Kittel, Greipel and Farrar will be rubbing their hands together and dreaming of victory.
The climb comes early in the race, just 82 kilometres in, and with an average gradient of just 4.5 percent, will not cause any worry for the sprinters. Of more interest to the fast men will be the intermediate sprint at Soignies.
Coming with just 50 kilometres remaining to be raced, the sprinters and their teams will be required to put in a double effort within the last hour of racing. It is here we'll see if Team Sky are serious about Cavendish's green jersey aspirations.
The finale should be thrilling with a 400-metre long finishing straight providing the sprinters with plenty of room to weave their magic.
Watch for the lead-out trains of Team Sky and Orica-GreenEdge as they attempt to put their man in the best position. Matt Goss is hungry for his first Tour win and what better way to achieve it than by beating the best – his old team mate Mark Cavendish.
Fasten your seatbelts cycling fans, the fast men are coming out to play!
The Roar is giving you the chance to win 1 of 19 prize packs to Australian Open 2014! Each lucky winner will receive four evening tickets to Rod Laver Arena, plus access to 3 hours in the Heineken VIP Bar. Enter here.

Sean Lee said | 11:11pm | Report commentThe peloton are passing through the feed zone. Carefully does it for most riders, some even stopping to grab their food bags. The break is now down to 5'20". Kern, Roux and Morkov will inevitably be caught, but will it be before the intermediate sprint in about 50 kms time?
Sean Lee said | 11:04pm | Report commentNot liking the new Orica-GreenEdge jerseys. They are harder to pick out in the peloton now.
Sean Lee said | 11:00pm | Report commentCadel Evans and Michael Rogers riding side by side in the peloton, looking relaxed. The feed zone is approaching though, often an area frought with danger!

Abductor caught in car with pants down
NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) -- An East Haven man was arrested after kidnapping a woman at gunpoint in New Haven Saturday and asking her to perform a sex act.
Just before 6 a.m., New Haven police responded to the area of Grand Avenue and Franklin Street.
According to police, a man reported that his girlfriend, who had been driving a blue Honda, sent him a text message saying, "Help." The woman continued to periodically indicate her location via texts.
The woman's boyfriend told police he had previously gotten a call from the 26-year-old Wallingford woman, saying she was having car trouble, but thought she would be alright to make it home.
When the woman's boyfriend didn't hear from her, he drove to New Haven to look for her.
Around 7 a.m., the boyfriend called police to tell them he had received another text indicating that his girlfriend and her abductor were on Grand Avenue traveling west near Hamilton Street.
The boyfriend spotted the car a short time later on Wooster Place. As police closed in, they passed his car as he frantically pointed to the Honda in front of him.
When the officers stopped the car, the woman jumped out screaming, "help me," and ran crying toward her boyfriend.
Police approached the vehicle with their weapons drawn to find the suspect with his pants and underwear around his ankles.
After initially resisting arrest, Albert Leclaire, 43, of Massachusetts Ave., East Haven, was placed in the back of a cruiser.
Police called in an ambulance for the woman, who had visible marks on her arm from where Leclaire had been grabbing her.
The woman told police that after leaving work, she was driving on Brewery Street when she saw Leclaire waving. She thought he might need help, but when she stopped he told her that he had a gun and got into the car. She told police they then drove around Fair Haven, stopping several times at ATM's to get money, and after each time, drove to the Franklin Street Public Housing Complex to buy drugs.
She said he also asked her to perform a sex act, which she refused.
When police searched the vehicle they found multiple bags of crack.
Leclaire proceeded to tell police that he was having chest pains because he'd smoked "too much crack."
Leclaire was charged with second-degree kidnapping with a firearm, first-degree robbery, robbery involving an occupied motor vehicle, second-degree larceny, third-degree criminal attempt to commit sexual assault, third-degree assault, interfering with police, and four drug-related charges.

Despite their increased negativity towards the economy overall, only 13 percent of surveyed NSW businesses are predicting negative growth over the coming 12 months. However, a hefty 41.5 percent think their growth will not exceed five percent in the current period, which after allowing for inflation means that many of these businesses will be essentially marking time.
Main business worries in NSW centre on competitor activity and consumer confidence (or the lack of it). Respondents assess the main drivers of change as government policy and legislative change and the overall economic outlook.

Helen Mirren: Queen Please
BY Brandon Voss
February 10 2010 9:00 AM ET
Has Chase in Losing Chase been your only lesbian role?
Yes, I think so. But I think the most interesting actors are the ones who bring a mixed sexuality to the table — the male actors who have a lot of femininity in them and the actresses who have a lot of masculinity. That's the nature of acting, in a sense: to fall somewhere in between the sexes in general.
If you do play a lesbian again, whom would you pick to play your love interest?
I would just want a wonderful actress, gay or straight, but I certainly wouldn't say no to Ellen DeGeneres. I'm such a huge fan of hers and I've loved her from a distance for such a long time, so it was quite a moment for me this year to do her show, stand on her set, and see her right there in front of me.
Out of the many actors you've worked with, which one have you found the most distractingly handsome?
Well, Liam Neeson in Excalibur was a big one. He was pretty distracting, but it worked out, luckily, because I subsequently dated him for four years. And if I were to work with Leonardo DiCaprio, I think I would find him quite distracting as well.
You passed on Mariah Carey's role in Precious, but you did work with Lee Daniels in his directorial debut, Shadowboxer. Were you drawn to his "gay sensibility," as he calls it?
Yes, totally. He's wildly spirited, very open, and his emotions are very close to the surface, and maybe that comes from his gay sensibility. There's a freedom about him through his gayness, his race, and everything else. You know, I said in my acceptance speech for the Career Achievement Award at the Palm Springs Film Festival that in particular I wanted to thank the gay men and women I've worked with. In every single profession within my profession of filmmaking and theater — writing, directing, costumes, hair and makeup — gay people have meant so much to me and my career, and I'm extremely grateful. And when I think of the contribution gay people have made historically to our culture throughout the centuries, it's incomprehensible to me that these people are still going through discrimination.
In her acceptance speech at the Palm Springs Film Festival, Mariah rambled on about meeting you that night. Have you ever had one too many before accepting an award?
Oh, yes, I have, and it's a terrible mistake! [Laughs] But I thought she was so sweet and lovely — and blasted, yes, but why not? It was her night to celebrate. It wasn't officially televised, so she should've been free to be whatever she wanted to be, but the trouble nowadays with YouTube is that everyone records everything. I thought she accepted her award with great charm.
Is there anyone you're still dying to meet?
I love Lady Gaga because she's such a great, edgy performance artist, but really I'd like to meet Michelle Obama.
When you look at today's young actresses, are you glad you're past all the late-night boozing and partying, or do you miss it?
I don't miss it, but when I was enjoying my life in that way there were no iPhones or Flip Video cameras to record you, so one was much, much freer then. The constant attention that these kids get today must be horrible but also seductive, because it makes you feel more important than you really are.
You and Dame Judi Dench, with whom you've only appeared in 1968's A Midsummer Night's Dream, both got Oscars for playing Queen Elizabeths. When you won for The Queen, you beat Dame Judi, who was nominated for Notes on a Scandal. Forgive my gay propensity for celebrity feuds, but is there any rivalry between you two?
No, I wouldn't say so. Like her, I work in film, television, and theater — which is a very British attitude — but she came ahead of me, so I've always been following in her footsteps in many ways. Certainly, I'm an incredible admirer of hers, and I aspire to work the way she works. So no, Brandon, we don't arm-wrestle.

Inside the Top of Tower Restaurant
Posted on October 23rd, 2011 25 commentsChambers Road & Hwy 367
Moline Acres, MOThis post about Top of the Tower Restaurant from October 2007 is by far the most-commented entry I've ever done. Within the comments, we hear from the granddaughter of Tower's developer Bud Dallavis, as well as several people who worked there over the years. We learn that it did NOT spin (people confuse it with the former Stouffer's restaurant in Downtown St. Louis), and a few people share the recipe for Rizzo's famous Spinning Salad.
A post comment from the end of July 2011 set off alarm bells: Michael Collins went on an adventure inside the Top of the Tower building, and made it all the way to the top and inside the long-vacant Rizzo's Top of the Tower. He even took pictures! I pounced on him like a puppy to a chew toy, and he gladly consented to share his photos on Facebook so they could be shared on B.E.L.T. All of the photos you will see here were taken by Michael with his cell phone.
The elevator in the Tower lobby no longer goes up to the top floor, but the stairs do. When Michael got to the top, the door to the restaurant was wide open, "and there were no signs stating no trespassing, although I'm sure they don't really want anyone up there. I don't really recommend going up there for your own safety." He told of some strange encounters with questionable people (and dogs) during his time in the building, so I'm heeding his advice, and very grateful that he chanced it, took these photos and shares them to add to the history of a beloved North County restaurant that continues to be held warmly in the hearts of all who went there.
After the adrenalin high of sifting through his photos, I was feeling like Peggy Lee asking "Is that all there is?" This is what the mythical place actually looked like? Really.
My overall impression of Rizzo's interior is what I call Spanish Bachelor. It's a term I use to describe a late 60s/early 70s design plague in swingin' suburbia. It was a hearty embrace of EZ Brick, Chianti bottles with candles stuck in 'em, blackened wrought iron (real or fake), dark distressed wood, masculine-colored velvets, corduroy pillows and macrame plant holders. It was a look favored by heterosexual single men, and we'd have to ask one of the survivors of this faux-rustic 16th Century Spanish matador design decision what it was meant to convey.
I never imagined that the penthouse showcase of the magnificent mid-century modern tower – all pink metal tubular sleekness – would look like this. In the photo above, the wood paneling on the window columns feels right for a place that opened in 1964.
I'm assuming the ceiling was originally white so that the coffers radiating out from circle center met up with the paneled columns to create a starburst effect.
But the rest of this….?
OK, the place has been vacant for a long time, but we can overlook the neglect to get a sense of what was. And I'm getting the impression that lots of remodeling went on over the years. Or that there was one major sweep of a re-do in 1975……because this wallpaper IS 1975 personified. And it has held up rather well, don't you think?
There is the fantasies that those of us who weren't alive/participating in that era have, and then there's reality. My fantasy for Top of the Tower might look a bit more like this series of photos. And maybe it did back in the day. Remodeling and updates happen organically over time, and restaurants – particularly – have to stay somewhat current and fresh to remain open. So we see a wide hodge podge of design fads piled atop one another.
Obviously, the restaurant conveyed differently with furniture and lighting. Have you ever seen your favorite bar during the day, exposed to natural and overhead light? Then you know there's a real magic to low lighting at night. Cocktails help everything along, of course.
But in all the memories that have been shared about Rizzo's Top of the Tower, it was never about the decor (though the views were a major treat). It was the people who worked there, the excellent customer service, the superior quality of the food, and the sense of specialness all of these things combined created for everyone who went there. We're now looking at what remains of a place long separated from its magic.
A major batch of thank you goes to Michael Collins for making these photos available to us.
And for all of you who once worked there or ate there on a regular basis, could you please tell us about how the place looked over the years? What did it look like when it opened? What kind of changes were made over the years?
Maybe seeing these photos will spark you memories and you'll share in the comments as copiously as you did previously. If you have photos to share, that would be excellent, too.

They MUST post "No Trespassing" signs or you can't be arrested for trespassing.
TOBY!!! You take cool to a whole new level!!!
Toby, this post has changed my life. I have always had a love affair with this building. A couple of questions– are the apartments mostly occupied? Any chance you can get into one of them? I imagine some retrofabulous design in some of those units!
Passed by this building on my way out to Alton, IL from South City. At first sight I was enamored with the old place. So glad to find this article and the one from a few years ago. While I was born in the late 80s, I remember many of the great buildings from my childhood before the city-wide demolition spree of the early 2000s. Thanks again.
Amber Lee October 26th, 2011 at 7:27 PM
After reading this post I actually did a real estate search out of curiosity to see how much the apartments go for. Currently there are a few under foreclosure for about $5000 a piece.
On Zillow, I found a non-foreclosure 3 bed 2 bath in the building listed for $39,000- cheap – but the apartment looked tired, forgotten and nondescript. Definitely not my Mid Century Modern dream
The foreclosures do sound tempting though… if I bought one however my husband would think I'd gone off my rocker!!!
As for the restaurant, I found this image http://www.cardcow.com/images/set305/card00647_fr.jpg of Rizzo's TotT in it's heyday. With all of the white linen table cloths you can definitely see the appeal of the experience!
I wonder why the current building owners / managers don't sell or lease the space at the TotT. Myself, amongst many others I'm sure, would almost risk taking it on as a business venture / challenge. It's sad to just let it sit there and die
Keep up the great work with the posts Toby! I always love reading your blog
I remember that place, but dimly. Mid century modern is one thing, but the choice of carpet and wallpaper is truly mind-bending. But that's what was in style then. Any Las Vegas hotel of the same era would look the same. Pity they can't pull the money together to renovate it and open the restaurant again. The views were magnificent.
There are period interior shots on a postcard that is shown online at :
Looks like the card is postmarked 1967 which would make it an original interior shot. Looks like it was always pretty dark in the place.

oh Toby if you are ever in LA (Los Feliz in particular) you have to make to the Dresden Room, immortalized in the movie "Swingers"
it's probably OK to go back now that the wannabe hipsters have moved on
Steve S. November 7th, 2011 at 7:41 AM
This is fantastic. I have never been inside this building, but it always captured my imagination. I wonder if people still live in that building?
Too Cool…
And anyway, my first memories are of being swaddled in an aura of north county "spanish bachelor." What a great name for that, I've always grasped at straws in trying to explain my nostalgia for plastic brick walls (that i used to push in with my finger) and dimpled beer mugs.

Don Buretta May 13th, 2012 at 10:53 AM
Great memories of a great resteraunt. My wife of thirty three years and I would go there occasionally when we were dating. I would love to haver the reciepe of the famous spinning salad. There's a book out called cruizin north county and it shows pictures of the outside of the resteraunt. Originally the plan was to have two tower's built on that location. Thanks for the memories.
Jackie K June 11th, 2012 at 10:36 AM
Going back a few years, how fun is that? We used to walk to school (Central Jr. High) and we took the elevator up one floor and it would let us out on the other side of the Tower on Lewis and Clark. Every once in a while, we would get balsy and go up to the resterant!! We were so scared we'd get arrested. Ah memeories.
Worked there for three years in the late 70′s. the worked sucked but made many friends.
Sandy C. October 5th, 2012 at 3:42 PM
Thanks so much for the memories, but so sad seeing the pictures without the beautiful set tables. I worked there for about 10 or 15 years and it was like one big happy family. The Rizzo brothers were great bosses and treated everyone very good. We had really good customers and a few that came in every saturday night and always sat at the same table. The entertainment was also very good. Bob Kuban a St. Louis icon and Tony Viviano played on Friday and Saturday nights. I have missed the place very much ever since it closed. There are a few of us who worked there that get together and talk about the good times we had working there. Talking about that wonderful spinning salad, the book about N.County does not have the true receipe for that salad. I am also so sad about that it just cannot be duplicated. Oh shucks.
pat b. October 5th, 2012 at 5:32 PM
Wow! Could never forget this place. I worked there for 16 years, as did my mom who recently passed away. It was my first job and I really loved it. So sad to see the pictures without all the beautiful tables, linen and candles, but remembering all my fellow workers who are no longer with us and those that still remain in the St. Louis area. It was a great place to work and even go to on your night off for a wonderful dinner. Best in north St. Louis county. Sure do miss the spinning salad!
Stephanie December 6th, 2012 at 10:40 AM
Wow, I worked there in the late 80′s, early 90′s… I have lots of great memories there, met lots of great friends! lol Joe Rizzo was my boss, he was a very good man, just grouchy sometimes! I remember Janet, she would NOT give me that secret recipe for the spinning saled dressing! She said it's a secret!
I would love to get in touch with some of the ole' workers, like Tim( the cook),Mike ( another cook), Steve…lol Those are the ones that come to mind.
Thanks for sharing the pics, enjoyes them so! -
Cathy S May 31st, 2013 at 12:26 PM
These pictures brings back so many memories as I also worked there in the mid to late 80′s, oh how I miss the place – great times with so many great co-workers & regular customers. Loved the spinning salad how could I forget the 21 secret ingredients spiel. Another person that comes to mind Marcel the Maitre d' a classic french soul. A few co-workers that I can remember is Debbie the cashier, Sandy (waitress) & few others – would love to get back touch with fellow Top of Tower buddies.
Gary B May 31st, 2013 at 4:03 PM
My father was a part time matradee at the "Top of the Tower" around '68-'70 and for a short time I worked as a busboy.
True, Joe Rizzo was rather stern guy but very fair boss. I remember Rene De La Torre another matradee.
(interestingly, his name means 'of the tower') Great food and the Tony Conners Trio
(Tony was regularly requested was to play
'The Shadow of Your Smile') -

Joseph murphy September 2nd, 2013 at 11:48 PM
I work for the current leaser. It is run down that no one would buy it. It saddens me to say that. My grandparents and parents grew up on this place. I still go to the grocery store that is still the same one my grandpa went and shopped when I was younger. It truely said to see what happens to old places in St. Louis.
Toby Weiss September 11th, 2013 at 2:24 PM
Seldom is a building so far gone that it can't be brought back to life. The apartments are still for rent and occupied, so it would just be the top floor, restaurant space that's in raggedy condition?
Bob Cento September 14th, 2013 at 10:49 AM
I don't remember a lot of the restaurant, but I do remember Joe Rizzo. He and my father were fairly decent friends, and Joe always was very nice and warm and friendly to me. I remember my Dad living in one of the apartments, and thought it was SO cool that he lived in the place that he was part of developing. I don't know all the stories about Bud Dallavis and John Defford and my Dad. I only knew that there was money problems, and that some people were cheated out of some money. I cannot confirm those stories, and I wish that they has had the money and time to develop the second tower. I thought that I was "all that" because my Dad was part of the Towers. oh well.

EngadgetMobile has found an HTC support page that lists a Sprint version of the HTC Hero, which all but confirms what we've been hearing in the rumor mills for some time: the HTC Hero is going to be offered by Sprint in the U.S.
For those of you that were looking to get the device on AT&T, we feel your pain. We already knew that T-Mobile USA had no plans to offer the Hero.
I'm going to be at a breakfast meeting with Sprint CEO Dan Hesse tomorrow morning, so hopefully I can get some more information about Sprint's Android plans at that time.

Dennis Rodman "friend for life" with North Korea leader Kim Jong Un
When I read this article over at ESPN, the first thing I thought of was the millions of North Koreans brutalized and forced to live in unspeakable conditions by their "leader."
I wondered what those enduring Kim Jong Un's reign would think to see a pampered former basketball star from the free and rich United States, chatting it up with their leader and offering his stamp of approval for Kim Jong's leadership.
Rodman and Kim sat side by side at an exhibition game in Pyongyang on Thursday, chatting as they watched players from North Korea and the U.S. play in mixed teams, Alex Detrick, a spokesman for the New York-based VICE media company, told The Associated Press.
Rodman later addressed Kim before a crowd of thousands, telling him, "You have a friend for life," Detrick said.
The encounter makes Rodman the most high-profile American to meet with the young North Korean leader, said to be a diehard basketball fan, and comes at a time of heightened tensions between Washington and Pyongyang.
But then I realized . . .
Rodman is demonstrating to the world the glories of reconciliation and the importance of doing mission and ministry together. Deep in Rodman's soul it's all about peacemaking and the relationship and unity.
Of course, I'm sure there are some who would reject Rodman and Kim Jong being "friends for life"—after all, those people "have been wounded and betrayed" and understandably have hurt feelings and therefore have a problem with Rodman's being friends for life with Kim Jong. That's why they might react with such outrage and indignation and revulsion.
I'm sure that Rodman and Kim Jong hold the same tension about agreeing and disagreeing. And certainly Kim Jong must be concerned about the way his position in North Korea has been characterised.
Agreement is overrated. What Rodman and Kim John are trying to do is stay in there and reclaim the best charism of their respective US traditions of freedom and North Korean traditions of repression, torture, and fascist control – a 'both-and' quality.
The other issues are not defining realities.

My "little" guy is not so little!! His head is measuring two weeks early and his estimated weight is already 5lbs 11ozs!! He is no longer transverse (thank goodness) and he is head down and engaged into my pelvis. He was so far down the ultrasound tech couldn't even see his face. She said he is literally ready to come out. As much as I'd like to see him I want him to stay put for at least 4 more weeks so he will be full term. My doctors appointment isn't until next week due to my work schedule so it'll be interesting to see what he says. I hope he says he'll want another ultrasound around 36 weeks to see how much he has grown. I was a little disappointed that we couldn't see his face at all. The only thing we could see was his hair! And boy there was alot of it!!
2 weeks - WOW! Its amazing me to read all these updates and to think that several of our Dec babies will be here in the next week or two or three. Crazy!
My girl is the same way - so far down and with her face buried. I'll post her "face shot" so you can see what we saw yesterday. We haven't really seen her face since about 16 weeks because she stays so low and hidden.
YAY JESSICAH!! How exciting =D I can't believe it!!
It's so crazy! You are the END of the month.... I have been looking at your ticker, milestones, etc to judge my own pregnancy since I'm a week behind. YIKES!!
Just out of curiosity, is it normal for everyone to have u/s this late? I don't recall getting any until stress tests once Phoenix went past her edd.
DD Phoenix, 5 DD Violet, 3 DD Boots, 12/2011
Awww! Too bad you couldn't see his face. Great job growing that baby ! I hope he stays put a little while longer!
♥ Amanda ♥
♥ Mom to: Jesse 16, Jacob 5, Ethan 3, Eli 2, & baby Andrew ♥
wow!! Another one of you looking at going early!!! Awesome!
DH Mike 2/10/01
DS Caleb 11/19/05
DS Jonah 11/25/11
Here it's normal to get an ultrasound later in the pregnancy to check size, position, fluid levels, etc. I think it's crazy how every place does things differently. And Jules for me the heartburn thing was not true. I have had very little heartburn this pregnancy! My daughter was head down from 30 weeks on but she wasn't nearly as big as Ryan measured. She was always right on track! It worries me about his "big head" because I had some trouble getting Brynna out and needed the assistance of the vacuum. However, I was induced with cervadil and I had swelling in my birth canal so that could have been the issue. I would just like to not have a repeat of the massive tearing that occurred with her so his head circumference scares me.


text: The movie starts with Silver Hawk riding on her motorcycle through what looks like China. She is chasing thugs who have stolen pandas and are getting away in a truck. She attaches her bike to the truck jumps and fights the men kicking them out of the truck and then continues to fight them. Then they give up. She heads back to Polaris City where she meets an old childhood friend then a flashback occurs. In this flashback it was the time at the martial arts training academy back when they were little.

Intel, OEMs unveil first wave of Ultrabook Convertible designs
| by tech2 News Staff |
Intel Corporation and its OEM partners unveiled the first wave of new tablets and tablet convertible designs based on Intel Core vPro, Intel Core and Intel Atom processors, including the new Atom processor Z2760 (formerly codenamed 'Clover Trail') yesterday. According to an official statement by Intel, the new Intel Atom processor-based devices provide consumers and business users with a wide choice of innovative, sleek and stylish designs with long battery life and class-leading performance. Additionally, the devices run on Windows 8. "This is just the beginning of Intel's effort in the tablet market, and our goal is to deliver products that fit the spectrum of evolving needs of both consumers and business users without compromising on compatibility, experience or battery life," said Erik Reid, General Manager, Application Processor Platforms for Intel's Mobile and Communications Group. "When people or corporations buy a device with Intel Inside, they're getting the best of Windows 8 features with a computing experience that just works." Asus, doing what it does best The Intel Atom Processor Z2760 allows for the thinnest, lightest tablets built on Intel architecture – as thin as 8.5 mm and as light as 1.5 pounds (0.68kg) – making carrying and storing a powerful tablet less cumbersome and more convenient. As more and more people take their devices on-the-go, such considerations as battery life and size have become increasingly important, and devices using the Intel Atom Z2760 claim to offer a full-featured tablet computing experience that doesn't compromise its performance over battery life. The dual-core, four-thread SoC provides exceptionally long battery life with more than 3 weeks of connected standby and more than 10 hours of local HD video playback. Tablets and tablet convertibles powered by Intel Atom processors and running Windows 8 provide capabilities such as Intel Burst Technology, Intel Hyper-threading Technology. Utilising the multitasking capability of Intel architecture, people will experience incredibly fast response, allowing them to swiftly load and switch among their favourite applications, says Intel in a press communiqué. HP's offering Intel is enabling a choice of innovative mobile designs for the enterprise, including those powered by Intel Atom, Intel Core, and Intel Core vPro processors. Intel tablets with Windows 8 support millions of existing applications, devices and full-featured components, and include security and manageability features. Additionally, these devices integrate into existing corporate infrastructures, providing the ability to join a domain, access shared network resources and run both new Windows Store apps and familiar Windows desktop applications side by side. Intel is actively engaged with a cross-section of the software ecosystem to enhance the user experience for applications running on Intel-based devices. With over 7,000 member companies, the Intel Software Partner program helps support optimisation efforts by concentrating resources, references, and tools for software optimisation into key technology focus areas. |

These are awesome. They're so out of the ordinary, with their fun colors and interesting quotes from real women. While they're obviously Christian, they're just perfect for sending a little something to someone who may shy away from Bible verses. Excellent!
I love the postcards. What an unexpected blessing to be chosen in a drawing. They will be an encouragement to the recipients.
I love these postcards! They are high quality, THICK stock, and relevant sayings! They even encourage me to just read through them. They would be suitable for aming as a gift, or decor too!

Happy Friday everyone! To close out the workweek we wanted to share with you an amazing project. This project comes from Virginia of Fynes Designs. She recently took a crack crafting with Martha Stewart glass etching cream, and boy did she nail it. Check out this mirror she made. Isn't it cool? This is a wonderful home décor project, and the best part is that it is easy to make. Don't take our word for it, Virginia would tell you the same thing. For many crafter glass etching maybe a new concept, and one you maybe a little scared of. This weekend step out your comfort zone, and try etching. To see step by step how this project was created click here.
Make it Monday: Silver Mirror
Hello, and welcome to the beginning of a wonderful week. We hope you had a good weekend, and remembered to change your clocks. Once we change the clocks, it signals that spring is fast approaching. Here in Atlanta it feels like spring is already here. We have had the pleasure of experiencing some nice weather recently. During the spring season many people begin doing some spring cleaning, and spring shopping. Home decor, is all the rage especially this time of year. In case you are looking for a cost effective way to spruce up some of your home items, may we suggest slapping on a new coat of paint. I know this may sound simple, but actually a new coat of paint on a piece of furniture can breathe new life into your home. Take this silver mirror, designed by Laura Whitlow. This mirror was given a new life, by adding some FolkArt paint to it. How chic is this? Give it a try for yourself. Enjoy!

Mirror mirror on the wall, what are the hottest craft supplies of them all? Well, obviously this is an easy question to answer. The new Martha Stewart Paint Line, of course.

I'm searching for a sponsor for the lopster package. I've done a lot of cleanups in a few places because the package wasn't actively maintained for a long period of time. Also, a new upstream release has been packaged. The diff is available from: http://franz-pletz.org/debian/lopster The package is lintian and pbuilder-clean, though a small warning of linda persists: W: lopster; A binary links against a library it does not use symbols from This package contains a binary that links against a library that is not in the Depends line. This may also be a bug in the library which does not have a shlibs file. I've doublechecked the output of both ldd and objdump -p for /usr/bin/lopster but was not able to identify a library in a package which isn't in Depends. The program works without any problems, though. Any advice? Thanks, Franz -- Franz Pletz \ The Internet treats censorship as www: http://franz-pletz.org/ \ damage and routes around it. email: email@example.com \ -- John Gilmore
