My summary: Lucy owns a sweet bakery called Sweet Inspiration known for making some of the best sugar cookies ever. Nicholas is a master pastry chef that tours the world studying and perfecting confections.
This is the story of the sparks that fly when Nicholas decides to seduce Lucy for more than her sugar cookie recipe.
Oh did I forget to mention Nicholas just happens to be the oldest son and heir to the Santa Claus throne?
What they say: "What if the legend of Santa Claus is in fact, true?
What if Santa has five big strapping sons who help him run his empire? Five single, sexy sons looking for romance...
One look at cafe owner Lucy Brewster sends Nicholas into an unexpected tailspin of lusty desires. When Lucy is injured, Nicholas makes a decision that catapults their lives into turmoil. Lucy gets more than she bargained for when she awakens in the North Pole...rambunctious elves, a fitness-obsessed Santa, and the man of her dreams."
My say: Sweet Inspiration is one wild fun hot ride. I was sucked in from the moment Penny Watson first described Nicholas Jr. as smelling like "smoky rum and dark spices". Yum much!? Well and I love any writer who can bring my senses to life and use a word like "reverie". This story honestly has all the elements a gal would want from a romantic Christmas story.
Deliciously vivid descriptions and word usage?: Check
A plot that includes a trip to the North Pole?: Check
Adorable characters you will wish you could meet in real life?: Check
A Merry Christmas feel that will leave you feeling merry?: Check
Sizzling love scenes?: Check
My rating: 4 stars; I really enjoyed this story.
My verdict: If you are looking for a delectable playful Christmas read (and don't mind provocative) pick this one up. It SO cute and loads of fun.
Favorite part?: Getting to drink and play darts with some ornery elves.
The Meter Readings:
Kiddie-o-meter: Too spicy for the wee ones.
Adult-o-meter: This one leaves nothing to the imagination. It is written for grown girls who relish all the juicy details of attraction and love making. Side note: the super hot Klaus brothers banter and occasionally curse amongst each other just like real guys do.
Quoteables: "He tasted like Christmas. Brandy, cloves, and dark molasses. His tongue was doing slippery, sexy things to her mouth that were simply unbearable."
"Lucy watched, mesmerized. His beard was thick and dark and neatly trimmed. What would it feel like? Coarse and rough, or silky smooth? Without thinking, she reached out to touch his face."
Noteable: My favorite part of this book is the Klaus brothers who help Santa run his empire. Each alluring brother runs a different branch. Click on their names below to read the hilarious character interviews Penny Watson has put together of each one:
Warning: This story will make you SO hungry. Keep the gingerbread men handy!
My final say: I can't stop thinking of Wolfie. He is definitely my favorite.
A great big special thank you to The Wild Rose Press for making this review possible.
Your site and eBook selection continues to impress me and subsequently my Wish List continues to grow.

But from a design standpoint, everything flows from the "fountainhead" that is the Triton Two tower. In a nutshell, the Triton Two is one of those oh-so-rare $2500/pair loudspeakers that, if heard from behind an opaque scrim, could easily (and I mean really easily) fool you into thinking you were hearing a boutique high-end loudspeaker that carried a five-figure price tag. Part of why this is so is that the Triton Two offers terrific clarity, transient speed, and definition, yet is remarkably smooth sounding in its overall presentation—a tough combination of virtues to pull off. Frankly, I don't think I've ever heard any speaker do a better job of blending the output of a lightning fast Heil-type tweeter with conventional piston-type mid-bass drivers. That is, in my view, is the sonic "special sauce" that really sets the Triton Two apart. Happily the same technologies used in the midrange/treble section of the tower carry over directly into the GoldenEar satellites.
In short: the Triton Two and its stable mates are a virtual lock to enhance Sandy Gross' deserved reputation for building speakers that offer killer performance/price ratios. What's more, they just might make more than a few designers of boutique high-end products nervous in the process.
For many years Q-series loudspeakers have been the "bread-and-butter" models within the KEF lineup, serving to introduce listeners to many of the technologies used in the firm's higher-end speakers at comparatively affordable prices. At CEDIA KEF launched its eighth-generation Q-series models, which are said to be the first KEF products to leverage new insights gleaned through the radical, one-of-a-kind KEF Concept Blade loudspeaker (a not-for-sale technology test bed or "concept" speaker).
While the new Q models look quite traditional from the outside, they actually embody a quite ambitious array of technical changes. Highlights include an all-new version of KEF's signature Uni-Q (coincident tweeter/midrange) driver array that features a new, double-layer dome tweeter (one layer provides the optimal shape while the other adds stiffness), a completely revised version of KEF's "tangerine" waveguide, a new aluminum midrange driver with a much larger voice coil/motor structure, and a new "Z-surround." An exhaustive list of all the revisions that have gone into the new Q models would overflow the space allotted, but suffice it to say the changes are quite sweeping and show KEF's ability to take ideas from the cost-no-object Concept Blade and to transfer them to speakers that will sell at sensible, real-world prices.
The flaghip model of the new Q range is the Q900 tower, a 2.5-way floorstanding speaker based on a 6.5-inch Uni-Q array with a 1-inch tweeter, a 6.5-inch woofer, and two 6.5-inch passive radiators (or as KEF calls them, "auxiliary bass radiators"). The Q900 will sell for $1599/pair, with prices stepping downward for smaller models.
The Q-series speakers were on static display only in the KEF booth, but we're eager to hear them soon.
Apart from Klipsch's limited production classic models (e.g., the Klipschorn, LaScala, etc.) and Palladium-series speakers, the Reference series has for most practical purposes represented the top of the Klipsch lineup—until now. Shortly before CEDIA Klipsch announced that it had reworked the Reference line to create the new Reference II series.
It would be easy, at least at first glance, to interpret the Reference II models as a minor "refresh" of a well-established and well-loved product family, but a closer look (and especially a careful listen) shows that the changes are much more significant than that. Klipsch had a traditional booth on the CEDIA exhibit floor, but in a separate, off-the-show-floor demo room Klipsch VP of Product Development Mark Cassavant gave me a one-on-one presentation of the new line, along with the chance to hear (in a relatively quiet room) a side-by-side comparison of the previous generation Reference RF-82 and new generation Reference II RF-82II ($1200/pair) speaker models (the RF-82 II is one model down from top-of-the line).

Don't be surprised if Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk and Batman show up at the door sometime soon.
Managers of local costume shops said Marvel's Avengers and DC Comics' Dark Knight are the top picks among children this year.
"We haven't been able to keep them in stock," said Jaclyn Bruce, manager of the Spirit Halloween costume shop in the York Galleria.
Kerry Johnson, manager of the Party City in Springettsbury Township, agreed it's "hard to keep them on the shelf."
And those superheroes also make the most popular costumes at the Spirit Halloween location in the Carlisle Commerce Center in West Manchester Township, according to employee Brandy Dillet.
Monster girls: Most girls are choosing to don outfits from the fleet of Monster High dolls, Johnson said.
"They seriously fly off the shelf like nobody's business," he said.
The other costume shop managers agreed Monster High is a popular theme among young girls, and Disney princess costumes still reign supreme among some of the youngest trick-or-treaters.
Two TV shows having an impact on sales this year. They are AMC's "The Walking Dead," which follows a band of survivors as they navigate their surroundings after a zombie apocalypse; and Cartoon Network's "Adventure Time," which tells the story of 14-year-old Finn and his dog Jake, who live in a magical world among Princess Bubblegum, Lady Rainicorn, The Ice King, Marceline the Vampire Queen and more.
Zombies: Many adults have gone to Spirit in the Galleria looking for zombie costumes and makeup, Bruce said.
"Because of 'The Walking Dead,' zombies were huge last year and this year," she said.
The popularity of "Adventure Time" characters is spiking this year, she said.
"Children and adults both want to wear these costumes," Bruce said.
Covered up: Morphsuits are another popular choice among adults, Johnson said.
Sold in a variety of colors, the spandex suits cover the wearer from head to toe.
"You can see through them, drink through them and breathe through them," he said.
Their shelf life extends beyond Halloween, as many purchasers also wear them to athletic events in their favorite team's colors, Johnson said.
Politics, too: His store has also been selling a decent number of political costumes, he said.
A rack of masks resembling the likeness of President Barack Obama and Gov. Mitt Romney was scantily stocked on Monday.
"The Obama mask sells a little more than the Romney mask," Johnson said.

Q: I see lots of people buying binoculars that are totally the wrong fit for them and wrong for their activity, whether bird watching or hunting.
Can you offer some tips on buying binoculars?
COLLEEN SWEENEY, Boise
A: Trying to explain what binoculars to buy can leave people with a glazed look in their eyes.
Objective this, prism that, 8X32 or 10X42. Yikes! I still don't completely understand it.
I'm not going to give you a science lesson and spout off high-tech terms.
Basically, I have a pair of 8X42 Bushnell Trophy series binoculars I stumbled upon in the store, and I totally love them. I ended up getting a second pair so I would have one for the house and the other for the rig.
They are fog and waterproof, naturally, for the outdoors.
I really like them because when I look through them while wearing glasses they work great. I'm not going to explain the principle, just look through the binoculars with your glasses and if you can see and focus easily, great.
That's the key when shopping for binoculars - try them out in several ways.
Use them in the store in low light and see how they perform. Look out the window of the store at something in the distance and see if the field of view is what you like.
See how they feel on your face. Really. When you move the two lenses apart or closer together, do they conform to your eyes and face? If something is crooked or not fitting, you won't see clearly through them.
Feel them. Do you want to carry something that big on a backpacking trip? You might want a lighter pair.
Save the heavier ones for the dry box on your boat or in the glove compartment of the car.
I got some tips from Matt Bates, Bushnell product manager, and a few other experts, to try to boil down simple tips on getting binoculars:
Use: Before purchasing a pair, think what you'll be doing with them. Think about size and weight, magnification power, whether they fit your face, and how much light is coming through the lenses.
You don't want huge binoculars for backpacking, or a tiny pair if you want to see clear across the Owyhee River canyon.
All-weather performance: Every outdoors person knows they have a chance of being drenched in a rain or snowstorm. Fog and waterproof binoculars will provide all-weather performance, long-term reliability and peace of mind when conditions take a turn for the worse.
Low-light performance: If you need binoculars that perform well in low light (like trying to spot wildlife at dawn and dusk) then full-size binoculars with 42 to 50mm objective lenses will gather a lot of light, providing the best clarity in dim light.A pair of 10X25 binoculars may give you a dimmer view because the lenses are 25mm instead of 42mm, because larger lenses gather more light.
Let's back up. Take 10X42 and 8X32. The first number is the magnification, and the second one is the size of the lenses.
Power: Bigger isn't always better. Remember, the front number in binoculars is the power of its magnification. The "8" means objects will appear eight times closer than they do to the naked eye.
While 12-power and 16-power binoculars have greater magnification, more power doesn't mean better binoculars. You have to be able to hold them steady to get the benefit of that extra magnification. The higher it is, the harder it is to hold steady and keep the image from jiggling.
It's important you think about how much power you'll need in the field. Out in the open country of the West, a 12-power binocular might be the right choice, but if you spend a lot of time in the woods, less is more. You may only need 8 power for watching a ground squirrel or bird close to your campsite.
Field of View: The lower the magnification, the wider the field of view will be, assuming the lens width is the same. If you're trying to see a lot of country, a wider field of view is better.
A wider field of view also makes it easier to spot something. If you're trying to spot a bird in a bush or a bull elk on a mountain, it will be quicker and easier through a pair of 10X50 binoculars than a 10X32 pair, which will be like peering through a straw.
Q: What model pack are you wearing in the front page of the City of Rocks story (Feb. 21)? It looks big enough to carry a lot, but not too much.
I enjoyed the City of Rocks article. I've been there twice and want to go in the snow.
VINCE MATTHEWS, email
A: My daypack is a Deuter Futura 32, and I love it. I mentioned this in a past column.
I've had been looking for the right daypack for 30 years and finally got it.
The shoulder strap and waist belt system is extremely comfortable. The padding on the straps and belt provide support and, the pack also has a mesh-ventilated back that allows air to flow between you and the pack. All this stuff makes the pack a dream to carry.
I can carry a JetBoil stove and cups, tea, soup and coffee, a first-aid and survival kit, wind-proof lighter, knife, water bladder, wool gloves and hat, rain gear and snacks with no trouble. My point-and-shoot Panasonic Lumix camera fits in the belt pocket.
It has top lid pockets and top and bottom access to the inside of the pack. There's a zip divider that lets you have two separate compartments top and bottom.
It also has zippered side bellow pockets. That's where I keep the gloves and hat and M&Ms.
Another thing I like is a detachable rain cover that is stashed in the pack.
I just like the fit of the pack. It sits snuggly to my body for tele-skiing, or for scrambling.
Oh, by the way, the pack has an internal SOS label that gives you tips on how to signal properly in case of an emergency.
Hopefully, I won't have to use them.
They think of everything. By the way, that was my wife in the photo. She has a Gregory women's pack with a similar shoulder straps, waist belt and air-flow mesh back system.
It's very comfortable and has ended her quest for the perfect daypack.
The point is, try on some of the newer daypacks and especially look at the shoulder straps, waist belt and air flow mesh back systems. You'll be surprised at the comfort.
Expect to shell out $130 to $160 for this style of daypack.
Good hiking.

Vizio uses Windows 8 for its 11-inch tablet(0) Vizio is a relatively new entrant in the PC space and is already making its presence felt. The retailer has taken a unique approach with the announcement of their standalone Windows 8 tablet called MT 11X-A1. Unlike this move from Vizio, all of the Windows 8 tablet-styled devices available so far are more like laptops that fold into quasi-slates. We also have a few hybrid devices whose displays can be separated from the bodies. |
Rumors regarding the release of an Office version for iPad from Microsoft(0) We have been long hearing rumors about Microsoft releasing an Office version for iPad, iPhone and even Android based devices, but so far any such thing has not materialized. Microsoft has denied such news but still there are various tech sources that are claiming that such a thing would certainly happen in near future. According to the unknown sources form Office sales team, the iPad version of the software would be announced by Microsoft during the SharePoint conference in November. |
Acer announced a Windows 8 based tablet during Computex trade show(0) Acer has become one of the very first tech giants to officially announce a Windows 8 based tablet, although such initiatives are expected from several other manufacturers in near future. The announcement was made during the Computex trade show in Taipei. Acer has previously announced two Windows 8 tablets that would be shipped during the fall of this year. However, so far Acer has not given out any official information regarding the technical specs, price or exact release date of the tablet. Previously we also have a Windows 7 based tablet from Acer known as Iconia Tab W500, where the W indicated Windows. For Android based tablets form Acer, we find the subscript A. With the Windows 8 tablet, however, there won't be any more "Tab" with the name of the device. |
Dell is planning to release another tablet in near future(0)
Dell does not have a very good experience with tablets, even though its history as a manufacturer of personal computers is remarkable. Previously, Dell released its 5 inch tablet with the name of Streak tablet which could not attract much attention. Besides, the tablet was also criticized by many people due to some functionality issues. This is the only tablet from Dell so far and comes with Android operating system. At present, Dell is not selling this tablet any more, although it can be purchased from third party retailers. But it seems that Dell has not given up and is planning to release another tablet in near future. According to Steve Felice, the chief commercial officer of Dell, the company would be releasing an 8 inch tablet in near future. This tablet would be running Windows 8 since the initial reception of Windows 8 is very high and positive. Besides, the touch interface that accompanies Windows 8 is compatible with a variety of different products. Even though Dell has not been able to make a mark in the market of tablets, it is still a huge name when it comes to the development of personal desktops and laptops. At present, Dell is the third largest manufacturer of personal computers, after HP and Lenovo. The new tablet, however, would be announced in the second half of 2012 and most probably we would see it in the market in early 2013. One of the main aims of this tablet, according to Dell, would be to incorporate the common and commercial requirements, since the workers in the IT departments of the companies are fed up of doing such incorporation for the employees, which also results in a lot of overhead. Right now there are several serious issues such as security, compatibility, device management etc. and tackling all these issues from a single device is certainly a huge task, and Dell intends to undertake such as task in the new tablet. Besides, Dell still believes there is a lot of room for innovation and improvement in the market of the tablets, since the processing power and typing facilities in the tablets are still not as good as conventional computers. Dell would possibly also bring forward some ideas to cover the gap that exists between conventional computers and tablets on this front. |
Microsoft has been working on Windows Phone 8 under the name of Apollo(0)
According to the rumors and leaks associated with Windows 8, it appears that Microsoft is working on an operating system that would work equally efficiently on PCs, smart phones, tablets and other entertainment devices. If this actually happens, it would certainly be a huge achievement but there are also certain risks that are associated with such a move. Microsoft has been working on Windows Phone 8 under the name of Apollo and the noteworthy aspect is that various critical features of this OS such as kernel and networking stack and other security features are hired from Windows 8, instead of Windows Phone 7. This clearly shows that the rumors of releasing a unified operating system do carry weight. So far, Microsoft has not released any kind of refutation of these rumors and if they actually turn out to be true, there are various features that this new operating system would showcase which were missing from the previous versions. The new OS would have support for C/C++ programming, multi-core processors, multi-resolution and external devices such as microSD cards. According to resources, during the code writing process of Windows Phone 8, developers would be able to reuse the code of Windows 8.So if we are about to have a unified OS from Microsoft, this would certainly mean a clear edge over the competitors such as Google and Apple. An attraction for developers would be that the applications developed for this platform would present no or little porting problems when it comes to porting these apps between different devices. There are just 60,000 apps for Windows Phone devices compared to some 500,000 apps for Apple devices and 300,000 apps for Android devices. But if a unified OS is achieved, the app development process for Windows Phone devices would considerably accelerate. But of course, Microsoft would have to be extremely careful throughout the development and launch process of any such OS. Microsoft is already not in a very good position in the market of mobile devices and if such a move fails, it could prove to be disastrous. There have been certain hardware problems as well. Microsoft has announced that ARM-based Windows 8 tablets would not be able to run the legacy Windows Apps. Besides, Intel has also announced that Windows 8 devices having processors other than those of Intel would not be able to provide a perfect computing experience. However, we can't say anything for sure just at this moment and would have to wait and see how Microsoft tackles with all these risks. |
The CES 2012 would be showcasing some of the finest and latest high end products(0)
The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) at Las Vegas is certainly one of the largest technology shows on earth. Thousands of people, from all walks of life, who have slightest interest in technology and gadgets come to this show. This year, the competition in almost all fields of consumer electronics would probably be highest, including software as well as hardware domains. The event would showcase almost every important product that the tech giants have been developing for the last twelve years. Particularly, the domain of smart phones, tablets and ultra thin books is of particular interest. However, the pioneer in the field of smartphones and tablets, Apple, would not be present at the show since Apple has not been attending CES since 2009. We would be seeing a lot of cutting edge gadgets and products during this event that would continue for three days. HD TVs, latest tablets, mobile phones and other products by the technology giants and market leaders would be showcased and common people attending the show would be able to have hands on experience of these devices. Microsoft has also been planning to showcase some important products such as Xbox, Windows 8 and Windows Mobile during this event. A noteworthy aspect in relation to Microsoft is that the mobile manufacturer partner of Microsoft, Nokia, is also holding a news media event at CES. Nokia would also introduce its new line of Windows Mobile based devices during the event. But probably the most exciting aspect of this event would be a wide range of Android based devices, including latest tablets and smartphones from all price ranges and technical specs. So basically all the halls of Las Vegas Convention Center would be showcasing some of the finest and latest high end products from the arena of technology and from the top tech giants of the world. During the last couple of years, there has been an immense progress in the field of technology generally and in the field of mobile devices particularly. So we should be expecting to see some high tech gadgets and previously unseen devices during this remarkable tech event. During 2012, we are expecting the release of some of the best devices from tech giants including Apple, Microsoft, Google and others. So we can safely regard this event to be the best CES event organized so far, even though we would be missing the participation of Apple and hence the coveted Apple products. |
Samsung tablet running with Microsoft Windows 8(0)
Samsung has already earned high respect and repute in the market of tablet devices. After successfully releasing a couple of tablet devices in various sizes, Samsung now intends to release another innovative tablet device running Microsoft's Windows 8. Previous tablets released by Samsung were running on Android. According to the reports, this latest device would be displayed in the next week's Microsoft's BUILD developers conference. This would be quite an event since in past, there was been no example of collaboration between Samsung and Microsoft on a tech project. This collaboration would be good for both Samsung and Microsoft, particularly Microsoft would reap huge benefits in collaboration with a firm that is not only one of the technology giants of the world, but has also attained high position in the market of tablet devices and smartphones in quite a limited time. Although Samsung has mainly released tablets and smartphones running various versions of Android OS, it has also utilized other platforms such as Windows Phone 7 as well as its own Bada OS. But needless to say, Android has been the most successful of these all. It appears that Samsung is planning to give more and more support to other platforms since recently Google has purchased Motorola worth $12.5 billion. Microsoft has very recently released its Windows 8 which is famously considered a blend of a tablet OS and a common desktop OS. Microsoft was in a terrible need to have some hardware partner to support the OS on the devices. Samsung has finally come to the rescue of Microsoft and this seems to be a huge advantage for Microsoft. Previously, there were news that Microsoft might be releasing its own version of a tablet device running Windows 8 which would be a competitor of iPad2, but now it is expected that this new device would be a Samsung device running Windows 8. Microsoft has given a short demonstration of Windows 8 and it appears that this OS would be containing a Metro UI which was also the part of Windows Phone 7. With the move of collaborating with Samsung and releasing Windows 8, Microsoft is certainly gearing up for the competition. But final word can be said only after the device is released and tested by the experts. This tablet device from Samsung running Windows 8 is still in production phase and would most probably be released in the fall of next year. |
Windows 8 Taking Different Direction from the Rest of the Industry(0)
Windows 8 is just beginning to build its path towards tablets but as Smartphones and other tablets focused on developing feature-packed devices; Windows 8 is trying to make desktop OS work on mobiles. In this sense, Windows 8 will be running on ARM which would need ARM specific application such that the tablet could run Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Word. However, aside from the concerns regarding people's choice and sustainability of the product, it was also shown that the Windows 8 technical specification is just like the previous Windows Phone 7. About two years ago, the Windows Phone 7 has been known to be powered in OLED screen boasting Windows features like good photo background in which tools and applications appear in thumbnails before a self customized home screen. It also features the six hubs which are the Music and video, Pictures, Games, People, Office and Marketplace that people commonly access on. On the other, hand while both offers exquisite touch sensation, Windows 8 will no more run application that can be easily installed today despite running Windows interface and Metro-style tiled Start screen look-alike. |
Microsoft Introduces Windows 8(1)
Now here's the operating system that works both on personal computers and tablets. Advancing to the latest top priority goal in the tablet market, Windows 8 is finally evading tablets regardless of their version. Now this might be the best news for folks who buy Tablets based on OS compatibility. Windows 8 simply works on laptops, desktops, and Tablets, which also means that the three can work in sync while applications and software are also compatible with each other. It almost has the same user interface as Windows Phone 7, but will definitely have a new touch interface such that it would operate the newest Internet Explorer 10 as a web browser. Moreover, while Windows 8 is newly introducing operating system it does have to be similar to Galaxy Tab or BlackBerry Playbook technical specifications. Windows 8 technical specification is unique in a different form factor such that it has a gigahertz processor, gigabyte of RAM 802.22b/g/n wireless and multitouch capacitive displays. In addition, Windows 8 will be running on different versions such that it will run on ARM processors while the x86 version of Windows 8 will also feature a Window 7 compatibility mode. A version of windows 8 Microsoft Word was also shown running on NVIDIAs new Quad Core Kal El processor. So when working some project on the tablet, one can actually send it to the desktop and finish the job. Windows 8, when fully developed and finally out in 2012 is foretold to be the Android's closest competitor. This means that Windows while having the capacity to work on different versions of slates, laptops, desktops, and tablets, it has a higher advantage than any other operating system like Apple or especially Android which only limits to some tablets like Apad and iPod for apple, or Samsung and Motorola for Android. In this case, it is not impossible for people who love Android or Apple to change views, and buy Windows 8 instead. Another inclusion is the Windows 8 price which can simply be similar to Android OS and Apple iOS. This might be a tough fight among the three and also a tough sell as the price would be the same with features always advantage than other. According to some reports, the first public beta of Windows 8 will be released on September. The event will uncover the Windows 8 prototype while the event will also serve as transition to a full retail in the near 2012. |
Microsoft Tablet remains on track of development(2)
Though Apple has taken any other Tablets down as being the top seller in the market, do not forget the Android and Windows are coming up next on line and are taking time to strike and be the top of the line in the Tablet market. Hence, it is not surprising at all if one people would buy MICROSOFT Tablets knowing that the company is really a technology product expert. Note that there has been some improvement on the MICROSOFT Tablet PC today. Windows 7, for instance, has added the Tablet Math that recognizes hand written expression. This allows one to freely write mathematical expressions as well as English words while recording them on the Tablet screen. Windows 7 also offers Touch and Go capabilities, letting only the hand to work out for everything such that the right click, scroll, and many others are within the fingertips. Now it must be surprising, that when news about the latest version of the Windows broke, the news casters were really serious. The company is simply taking the Window 7 to a whole new level, to fit any other brand new MICROSOFT Tablet technical specifications. Soon, feel free to embrace the innovation of Windows 8 Explorer interface which aims to make data manipulation easier in any MICROSOFT Tablet. Another thing to be happy about Windows 8 is that the new Welcome Screen. Though it would cause a little mark up on MICROSOFT Tablet price, one would give one the pleasure of the various themes offered with the time and date as backgrounds, pattern unlock similar to that of Android as well as a music playback which is similar to iOS. MICROSOFT Tablet shares the excitement of touch while incorporating the comfort and performance of a desktop. The Windows 8 has been set for release on 2012 with the goal to provide users the comfort of touch in MICROSOFT Tablets. Such feature has not been tapped by older Tablet versions due to some program problems such that they are not design to work with finger-based Tablets. Though both the Apple iOS and Google Honeycomb have had the advantage for touch as they were specifically designed for finger-based Tablets, the rise of Windows 8 must be one of the reasons why one must not regret anything about MICROSOFT Tablets. In this case, hang on for with Windows 8, MICROSOFT Tablets are again ready to make the big hit in the market and compete with Android-based Tablets or the newest model of RIM Playbook or iPad3. |

It is Grant's birthday today! He is turning the big 3! I can't believe my lil' spider boogie is 3 years old. Time flies, but I will say that he has lived life to the fullest! He is an ALL IN kinda guy.
ALL this boy wanted was a Spiderman cake and for us to sing happy birthday. Ahhh...the simple pleasures of a wide-eyed little boy. So, I followed through with my usual tradition of making whatever type of birthday cake my kids request.
First, I made a moist chocolate cake in a huge 22 inch pan. I doubled the recipe to a typical 13x9 size pan. It cooled overnight and then cut it in half with a bread serrated knife. Plop on a middle layer of yummy frosting. (He is a chocolate guy.)
I made cream cheese frosting and dropped about 8-10 drops of blue food coloring to make a light blue color. This layer below is the CRUMB frosting layer. Do you know what that is? It's basically the layer where you capture all the crumbs to create a smooth surface for the REAL pretty layer on top. See the picture to the right? Those crumbs will harden into the icing as you refrigerate the whole cake for about 20 minutes to let it set.Then, I put on the outside layer. It goes on perfectly and very CRUMB-free! Perfecto!
I use a ziploc plastic bag as my icing piper. Fill it up, push all the icing to one corner, snip snip with scissors, and whalah! Pipe the bottom with little dots to cover up the gap between the cake and the plate. (On the right, you'll see that I did all this all during baby Brandon's nap. It's so simple!)
Next, the fun part. Sketch out the Spiderman face with a bamboo stick or toothpick. Don't worry about making extra lines. You can smooth that out later. I traced those lines with black sparkly icing that I bought at the grocery store already in the tube.
For the RED icing, I discovered a GEM of an idea. I used COOKIE ICING that comes already in the piping bag. The cookie icing actually hardens into a glossy beautiful layer, so it really made the Spiderman face pop. It's perfect! I will always be using COOKIE icing in the future for decorations on the cake. You have to try it out! (Tip: I piped on some cookie icing and then used a toothpick to smudge it all together. It has a gooey texture that works well for this method. It'll make things cleaner and more precise.)
For the eyes, I took some white icing, put it in the plastic bag, and made little dots to make up the eye. It's super cool to make it look like the tiny little parts of a real spiderman eye.
I surprised Grant after he woke up from his nap, so he can help with his own cake creation. He was so excited!!
The sweetest part of it all? Out of no where, Grant came up to me and said, "mama...thank you so much for Spiderman! Spiiiderman! I love you, mama!" Man, that one moment makes all the hassle and late night sifting worth every crumb. Happy Birthday, buddy!

We see co-ops in Philadelphia as a way to bring back small neighborhood stores of different services (food, hardware, insurance, etc.) that are needed in many areas of the city.
Again, thank you for the coverage and we will be sure to pass this article around to our 3,500 household members.
Ugh, this should be so easy [Naked City, "It's Alive," Isaiah Thompson, May 7, 2009]. They could actually try to collect the taxes that are already owed to the city, such as from the Eagles, politicians, businesses, etc.
They should not cut cops or increase the wage tax. Why would you get rid of cops in a city with so much crime? And why would you increase the wage tax since it is a disincentive to working/living in the city? I turned down jobs in the city just because of the wage tax. So not worth it.
The article "It's Alive!" by Isaiah Thompson [Naked City, May 7, 2009] contained an error. The Board of Revision of Taxes is not under investigation by any federal authority. City Paper apologizes for the error.
In last week's food feature on Philly Kitchen Share ["The Perfect Hosts," Lauren F. Friedman, May 7, 2009], Pumpkin chef/owner Ian Moroney's name was misspelled. City Paper apologizes for the error.

Album opener "Academy" introduces this soft and soaring dichotomy. This track finds the usually sedated Orth declaring, "The Earth shall tremble," which is a thought he returns to later on "Golden Years". Earthquakes are not an occurrence one would associate with the lazy, looping Holopaw. But their shifts and shudders remain constant within the consciousness of the young narrator as he sets off beyond the academy's ivy-covered walls to explore the space both around the school and within himself.
Highlight "Dirty Boots He Don't" finds Holopaw capturing the troubled atmosphere of a Jeff Buckley song, drying in the breeze of a Florida sunset. Orth's talent for creating outdoor landscapes appears on "Golden Sparklers", where the chorus bellows, "Hips to hips and knees to knees / the heaving hills, the swollen seas / the hollows and the frozen peaks/ fingers smell of tangerines." "Discotheque"'s image of flickering light from a deserted hang out spot is also quite charming and sad: "So many reasons to be lonely on this night / but then the discotheque is nothing/ it's just testing the light."
All this sentiment on Academy Songs finds quaint meaning in an age of foreclosures and abandoned dreams. It also speaks to the gradual loss of innocence: Boys cannot remain at the academy forever and all snow must melt.
Essential Tracks: "Discotheque", "Dirty Boots He Don't", and "Golden Years"

Deta's Cafe Coupons and Deals
t's easy to walk by Deta's Cafe, a seemingly innocuous establishment right off the busy Howard Street. The modest dining room, which would probably seat about a dozen patrons max on a busy night, leads directly into a kitchen the size of a walk-in closet, where the cafe's main offerings are made.The cafe serves little else besides bureks, a savory stuffed pastry that's the regional specialty of the proprietress' homeland of Montenegro, a southeastern European country bordering the Adriatic Sea. The bureks ($6) are available with a variety of stuffings, usually combinations of beef, potato, cheese, spinach and spices. Don't be fooled if your pastries come with a knife and fork; rolled in circular coils, the pastries are arranged to be easily torn apart by hand. Get your fingers a little greasy, and you might get an acknowledging smile from Deta herself, looking out from her vantage point in the kitchen's doorway.

Good value for the money. Large selection. Breakfast is included with the price of staying at the Best Western and is a very good value.
This was the best breakfast yet. You were limited to the cost, as this was included in the B.B tariff. Don't bother with an evening meal. We had sirloin steak, salad, with frozen veg and chips. At 8pm staff started to clear the salad bar away, and the meal was awful.
The service and food was great even though the place was crowded. This was a free breakfast with a voucher from the hotel across the street.
This is comfortable place to eat. Smaller town atmosphere and the staff makes you feel welcome. We ordered take out one night and it was very good. Prices are fair.
We had not been here for a while , but we went to eat on Tuesday the 3rd at Marks ...had the Buffea and we notice that there were not every many people there like always it was 11:15 at the time we got our meal.Anyway we will not be going there any more for sure we both my wife... More
Ate dinner and breakfast here while staying next door at Best Western. A family restaurant - no liquor, but reasonable choices and relatively inexpensive.
This was the free breakfast received for staying in the Hotel across the street! It was great food and served promptly. We are well satisfied and will definetly be back.
They served a variety as part of our free breakfast, service was excellent. Coffee was good, and plenty of it. Could have had more fruit varieties, just had orange slices.
Ordered the Club sandwich, Chicken Fried steak, and a cheeseburger. The club was huge! Good wheat/grain bread, rotisserie style turkey breast meat, ham slices and thick bacon. Yum! Tator tots we crispy but not overcooked. The Chicken Fried Steak was very thin, but tastey. The white peppered gravy was a instant gravy, not homemade :(. This was ordered with a... More

I am Asian with about NW30 skin. I've been wanting these Tarte blushes for a long time but couldn't work up the courage to buy them. I first bought Exposed because it's a crowd favorite and seemed foolproof, and then caved and bought Dollface (which I had originally wanted) and Blissful.
Dollface is a light and matte baby pink. Whereas Exposed had trouble actually showing up on my skin, Dollface showed up quite nicely. It gave me a lightly flushed look with cute pink cheeks. I was so afraid that this wouldn't show up, but I find that I have to be rather careful not to swipe too much blush on because it is very pigmented.
It stays on for a long time and I only need a little bit. It is expensive but I can tell that it will last a long time. It also doesn't break me out (always important for my sensitive skin) and I absolutely love the color.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I bought this ten months ago and I just realized that I have worn it every single day since I bought it. I haven't touched any of my other blushes! The color is perfect for me (I have pale neutral skin and very dark brown hair). It's very natural and easily build-able. I have somewhat sensitive skin and this has caused no ill effects. Beautiful product!
Although I have worn it regularly, there is still so much left in the package! A little really goes a long way. I will definitely buy again, but judging on how long this will last, it will be a long time until I need to. That considered, it is well worth the price tag!

I got a mini of this blush and Tarte's bronzer this summer, because I wanted to try this out without paying the full price. The full size is expensive but I do see what all the hype is about. Dollface is the perfect light pink! This blush is very buildable, and lives up to the 12 hour wear claim. It is the only blush that actually stays on me all day. Every other blush I've used in the past is gone in a few hours. I'm excited to try out the other shades in this line!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is a great, neutral pink. It's a pretty basic shade. It pulls extremely warm on me, as do most pink blushes - I have a hard time getting a pink to stay cool, but this one starts neutral anyway. I don't have the same issues as other reviewers do with the pigmentation; it takes a couple taps in the pan to get a good pop of color on my cheeks with a dense brush but I'd rather have that then it go on so pigmented that I have to use a tiny amount and blend to high heaven. Staying power is comparable to other Tarte blushes - fantastic.
I'd only recommend this specific color for fair skin. I'm super fair, so I'm a fan.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I was really quite disappointed with this blush. I had been looking forward to trying one of these blushes for a long time. I find that the pigmentation isn't stellar and I don't find the lasting power to be anything special. I also find it rather difficult to blend on my cheeks. It's not horrible, and it's certainly wearable- I do wear it fairly often. I will probably try another Amazonian Clay blush some time in the future but for now I'll just finish this one.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love this blush. I has the most flatering shade of pink for fair to light skin. It's very creamy, well pigmented and the lasting power is awesome.
It's a perfect dusty rose to wear with a cat eye and pale pink lips.
I love it so much I wish every fair girl would wear it. For reference I am MUFE Face and Body 2 Mac NW15 with auburn hair and green eyes.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
The color matches my natural cheek tone perfectly(: *im NW18 with really pink undertones*, it looks real polished n beautiful(: I love this anc it makes me feel healthy since it has the Amazonian clay<3 hehs
The colour of the pain and the name are deceiving because they suggest a pale English Rose kind of colour but in fact it is a slightly dusty medium pink that turns into a reddish tone once it settles with your skin oils.
The good thing is that it is really natural and long lasting. And the packaging is cute but hard to open.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I got this in a set as a mini with park ave princess at sephora. I had purchased the full size about a year ago and returned it because the colour pulled more peach on me than the pink that shows in the pan. The blush is nice, but it doesn't translate as the same colour on my cheeks.

Chat: CNNSI.com's Ron Meyer
Posted: Wednesday January 26, 2000 07:12 PM
CNNSI Host: Welcome to our Super Bowl chat with CNNSI.com analyst Ron Meyer... thanks for joining us, Ron! Ron Meyer: Just got back from interviewing both coaching staffs at the morning press roundtable sessions. The main topic has been the cold weather as both teams practice outside.
From Todd: How do you feel the St. Louis defense will fair with the mobility of Steve McNair? Ron Meyer: Obviously, this is one of the Titans' most potent weapons and is the big X-factor because his mobility comes from broken plays. It's tough for defensive coordinators to plan for it because it's unplanned for. That being said, the containment of McNair : don't overrush him, walk into him Make him a stationary, stereotype NFL quarterback and make him throw the ball. Of the 40 passes McNair has thrown in the postseason, 31 of them have been under 10 yards. Keep him throwing the ball, don't let him run.
From Guest: How bad are the injuries to Holt and Horne? Ron Meyer: They're sore and bruised but both are expected to play the entire game.
From Guest: Which team (Titans or Rams) has the better special teams? Ron Meyer: Good question I just talked with Frank Ganz, the outstanding special teams coach for the Rams and he has two special players on his return ... Tony Horne on kickoffs and Az Hakim on punts. However, Vermeil is concerned about Wilkins, the kicker. He's only about .500 on kicks. He's also concerned with his punter. The Titans have the edge with the kickers. The Rams have the edge on returns.
From Lou: With the loss of Yancey Thigpen, are the Titans a diminished team? Ron Meyer: No question about it. He's an outstanding player. He has missed five regular season games. The Titans have been fine in his absence. They'll miss his leadership and toughness that he brings. Incidentally, there's a chance that he will try to play. I would say the probability is high that he won't play.
From Guest: Kurt Warner looked positively mortal against the Bucs -- which Warner will we see against the Titans? Can he have two poor games in a row when it matters most? Ron Meyer: I'm not sure he had that bad a game as the question indicated. I saw him avoid the rush and deliver the ball. He didn't turn it over (i.e. sack and fumble) Although statistically not a good game, I judge a QB on wins and losses. You have to give Tampa Bay's defense a great deal of credit. They can make anybody look mortal. I anticipate a solid game from Warner.
From Guest: This was a year that the big teams fell and the little guys came on strong -- is this the future of the NFL or will the Packers, Cowboys and Broncos rise again? Ron Meyer: No, this is absolutely see the trend in the NFL My rationale is severalfold. 1 is free agency 2 is the scheduling -- the scheduling policy gives poor teams the weakest schedules 3 is the tremendous balance
There will be more of a widespread distribution of talent
From Guest: Ron, do you think the Rams will use a few more "traditional" run plays, rather than draws, in an attempt to keep the Titans from using 8 defensive backs? Ron Meyer: They won't use 8 defensive backs, but yes, I can see Marshall Faulk being employed more in a traditional running game to stabilize the defensive thinking. It can enable play action and not have the titans play pass all the time
From Guest: Based on what you've heard, will the winter weather this week hurt Atlanta's chances of getting Super Bowls in the future? Ron Meyer: Absolutely. My criteria for the NFL steering committee has just one item: palm trees. LOL
From Guest: Do you think that Kurt Warner's rise will encourage the use of more arena football quarterbacks? Ron Meyer: yes i do both nfl europe and arena football will be much more thoroughly combed ... at all positions oronde gadsden, wr miami, is a graduate of the arena league too
From Ryan: With all the conspiracy theories rising from the blown call from the end of the Bucs and Rams game, what would happen to the owners or refs or team staff if an investigation did show proof that they were involved with such an incident? Ron Meyer: I guess this is coming from a Tampa Bay fan. In my eight years as a coach, I was in favor of instant replay. However, the way it's been implemented has been a farce. It's been a complete failure and they should get rid of it.
From Guest: Ron, is Anthony Dorsett's lack of experience going to cost the Titans against the complex passing game of the Rams? Ron Meyer: I don't think so... he's not overtaken by stardom... he's been around football since the crib. He used to come from school and have Roger Staubach, Drew Pearson around his kitchen table; plus, he's a 4-year veteran and great special teams player. He played the second half of the Jaguar game. The Titans have to go with a more inexperienced player on the nickel and dime situations.
From Guest: Ron, say you're the coach of the Rams -- how would you go about improving this team if you were to use Trent Green as trade material? Ron Meyer: First of all, I would not trade a solid two-QB position. Warner and Green would make the Rams a great team. The Titans had a good system with Neil O'Donnell as a backup. They went 4-1 with him in the lineup. It's hard to improve this team. Their only main weakness is converting field goals.
From Guest: Do you consider both teams a "Cinderella" story this year? Ron Meyer: Absolutely... what greater story could one possibly have than Kurt Warner and his family? He adopted a child that's partially blind, and his beliefs, and his storybook season. On the other side, the nomadic Titans finally find a home and they're in the Super Bowl.
From Guest: If you were coaching the Titans, what would be your strategy to beat the Rams? Ron Meyer: Slow the game down. Try to do everything I can to make the big play defensively -- sacking and jarring the ball from Kurt Warner's hands, which hopefully would lead to a defensive score.
From Guest: Same question... if you were coaching the Rams, what would be your strategy to beat the Titans? Ron Meyer: I would anticipate a heavy dose of pressure defenses (i.e. blitzes). I would go with one-on-one and beat them down the field, which is what the Rams have done successfully.
From Guest: The Super Bowl has a history of being more of a show than a good football game... do you think this year will be any different? Ron Meyer: Being a coach, I take a little exception to that statement. I try to find something positive out of all football games. For all fans not tied in with a team, they'd like to see a winning score late in the game. For the winning teams, they'd like to see a lopsided score and that's what you coach for. You'll see an outstanding game because of all the new blood in it.
From Guest: Will the turf have any affect on McNair's toe, opposed to last week's game when McNair played on grass? Ron Meyer: Not to be cute, they don't call it turf toe for nothing. (laughs) There will be a higher degree and severity of injury when you play on artificial surfaces. The Titans will be very concerned about this
From Guest: Hi Ron... do you think the Titans will ever develop a downfield passing game? They never seem to throw the ball to their wideouts! Ron Meyer: Interesting comment... I was with Dr. Z (SI's Paul Zimmerman) and this was his entire angle on this game. I think the Titans are a sound team ... with the wins and how they do it, they'll stick to their successful game plan. Their offensive, defensive, kicking game all work hand-in-hand... it's not a shame to punt.
From Jamie: Who is your pick for the Super Bowl -- on one side you got the high-powered air assault of the Rams and the Music City Miracle on the other side. Which team do you think will prevail and be crowned champions of Super Bowl 34, and why? Ron Meyer: It will be a tremendously exciting game, but I've gone out to pick the underdog Titans with a 17-14 score, with the idea that the Freak, Jevon Kearse will be the difference in the game. But as great a prognosticator I am, that's why we play the game.
CNNSI Host: Thanks for joining us today, Coach Meyer. Enjoy the game on Sunday! Ron Meyer: Sure... Thanks for your interest and responses... I wish I could get to them all.

By Mayo Clinic staffLymphocytosis (lim-foe-sie-TOE-sis), or a high lymphocyte count, is an increase in white blood cells called lymphocytes (LIM-foe-sites). Lymphocytes are an important part of the immune system. They help fight off diseases, so it's normal to see a temporary rise in the number of lymphocytes after an infection.
A count significantly higher than 3,000 lymphocytes in a microliter of blood is generally considered to be lymphocytosis in adults. In children, the threshold for lymphocytosis varies with age, but may be as high as 7,000 to 9,000 lymphocytes per microliter. The exact thresholds for lymphocytosis may vary slightly from one lab to another.

It shocks me that this excellent children's programme does not occupy a central position in children's prime time TV. At the moment it is aired in the UK on channel 4 in the early mornings, yet compared to most of the output of the BBC's CBBC segment, this is far superior.The central premise, of having the main characters being aliens reporting back to their home planet, allows for the exploration of ideas in a non patronising way making the programme accessible to kids and more then bearable for adults.The biggest asset this programme has is the likableness of the main characters. They speak in English, not in a made up language incomprehensible to all(as in tellytubbies), and they explain any terms which are not human. They also refrain from using baby/child's talk, making 'the hoobs' non patronising.The musical tunes are entertaining and catchy, and even the children used are good actors/good in front of camera.The only shame about this programme is nothing to do with the programme itself-just that it has not been broadcast or picked up by one of the main children's broadcasters.

Abbott recalls glucose test strips over risk with older-model meters
Abbott Laboratories acknowledged that a number of its glucose test strips may produce bogus low blood-glucose results when used with certain older-model meters, so executives turned to a voluntary recall as a safety precaution.
Analysts: Volcano could be an M&A fit for Abbott, Medtronic
San Diego's Volcano is facing shareholder pressure to boost its value and find itself a buyer, and analysts believe the intravascular device company could be an ideal target for med tech giants Abbott Laboratories and Medtronic.
Report: Feds get big 'bang for the buck' in fighting pharma fraud
The latest report on healthcare fraud settlements is out, this time from Taxpayers Against Fraud. And this time, as usual, Big Pharma features prominently. The anti-fraud group regularly totes up whistleblower settlements with federal and state governments, and we all know that drugmaker payments account for billions.
Top 10 generics makers by 2012 revenue
The Hatch-Waxman Act shook up the generic drugs business in 1984, and almost 30 years later, it's safe to say the law had its desired effect. About 84% of the 4 billion prescriptions written each year are for generic drugs, saving patients and government programs billions of dollars a year. In other words, generic drugs are big business. And with a slew of blockbuster brands now off patent, it's a big business with growing pains.
Abbott posts med tech growth thanks to diagnostics, dealmaking
Abbott Laboratories is still fleshing out its identity nearly a year removed from the drug development game, and now, thanks to some timely M&A and a focus on diagnostics, the Illinois conglomerate is charging forward in med tech.
Abbott snags CE mark for diabetes monitor
Abbott Laboratories won a CE mark for its FreeStyle Optium Neo Blood Glucose and Ketone Monitoring System, expanding its presence on the European diabetes market with a next-gen device.
Abbott closes $250M deal for eye surgery biz
Abbott Laboratories is still crawling through some sluggish sales in its medical device business, and now the company has traded $250 million for a share of the growing laser-assisted cataract surgery market in a move to reverse revenue trends.
NY fund trustee to continue push for exec-pay clawbacks at Abbott
While other Big Pharma companies may have settled on clawback provisions for executive pay, hoping to inspire top management to toe the compliance line, a similar shareholder resolution at Abbott Laboratories failed. But the New York State Comptroller, which was behind the push at Abbott, says he'll keep pushing.
Abbott wins FDA nod for glucose monitor
Abbott Laboratories picked up FDA clearance to market the FreeStyle Precision Pro, an inpatient blood glucose monitor the company said can stream test results in real time.
Abbott slashes 200 more jobs from CA stent operation
Abbott Laboratories is slashing another 200 positions from a San Diego-area plant that produces cardiovascular stents and other devices, coming off the elimination of 450 jobs at the facility in February.
