Microsoft's Windows 8 TV commercials kick off
Summary: Microsoft has launched its first Windows 8 TV commercials, with less than two weeks to go until commercial availability and the official product launch.
On October 14, Microsoft began airing its first television commercials for its Windows 8 operating system.
A short post on the Microsoft Windows Team Blog acknowledged the start of the ad campaign.
The commercials are expected to be prominently featured during the Sunday National Football League games broadcast on TV here. No word from the Softies as to where else they are being shown.
Microsoft is launching Windows 8 in New York City on October 25. Sales of PCs from Microsoft and other vendors preloaded with Windows 8 and Windows RT begin on October 26.
Microsoft's Windows ad agency of record, Crispin Porter + Bogusky, is also behind the new ads.
Microsoft officials have declined to comment on the size of the marketing and advertising budget the company has allocated to push Windows 8 and the coming Microsoft Surface PCs/tablets running Windows 8 and Windows RT.
What's interesting about today's first ads are they are focused solely on Windows 8 PCs and the Windows 8 Metro interface. The ads do not show off the Surfaces, Xbox or Windows Phone, all of which have launches/updates coming in the next couple of weeks, as well.
After watching this new spot a couple of times, I have to say I like it a lot more than last year's family-focused campaign for Windows 7, Windows Phone, Xbox/Kinect and other Microsoft products.

Mercury has shrunk by about 4 miles in the last 4 billion years. (NASA/Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory/Carnegie Institution of Washington)
For decades, Mercury's problem wasn't that it was shrinking. It was that it didn't seem to be shrinking enough. Now, new research seems to have solved the mystery of the shrinking planet.
For four billion years, the planet closest to the sun has been slowly contracting as it cools down from the intense processes that formed it, getting smaller and smaller over time. This shrinking causes surface features called lobate scarps — huge mountainous ridges hundreds of miles long. Based on images and data from Mariner, the first mission to visit Mercury, geologists estimated that Mercury had shrunk by about half a mile to a mile during the past 4 billion years.
But this figure, calculated in the 1970s, didn't match up with planetary formation models, and as those models improved over time, the mystery deepened. With the arrival of a new mission, MESSENGER, at the planet in 2011, scientists got far more detailed images that covered the entire planet, and, using those images, have calculated that the planet has actually shrunk by about 2.5 to 4 miles, which is much more in line with what they would expect.
"That was a 40-year-long enigma that with these new data from MESSENGER we were able to unravel," Steve Hauck, a Case Western Reserve University planetary scientist and co-author of the research, told weather.com.
All of the solar system's rocky bodies — Mars, Venus, Earth, Earth's moon — shrink in this way, an effect caused by the fact that the volume of a metal, which make up the planets' interiors, changes as it cools. (This is the same effect that makes a thermostat work.) Even though the planets formed about 4.5 billion years ago, they continue to cool, contracting as they go.
"The only way a planet would reach a point of not shrinking anymore in this context is if the entire interior is the same temperature as the surface," Hauck said. "They'd reach equilibrium with space, and over the timeframe of the solar system that won't happen."
Earth works a little differently than the other planets. Unlike those of the other rocky planets, Earth's surface is made up of multiple plates that move around, which creates mountains and causes earthquakes. Mercury only has one plate that covers its entire surface.
The new research helps us understand how Mercury formed, Hauck said, which leads to a better understanding of how the rest of the solar system, including Earth, came to be. "How planets form is a fundamental question for how material in solar systems are organized," Hauck said. "How did ours end up this way, how did those others end up that way? And it really sets the path for how the rest of the planet evolves over the next 4.5 billion years."
The research is published in the journal Nature Geoscience.

There are currently 919 confirmed plants orbiting other stars, according to NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab, with an additional 3,602 planet candidates waiting to be confirmed. (A few different databases track exoplanets, and by some of those, the count has surpassed 1,000.) (NASA/JPL-Caltech/T. Pyle)

Logger who died in accident, a fire captain, made honorary Stoddard fire chief
Shannon Sarcione, a Stoddard native, firefighter and logger who died in a logging accident Monday has been made an honorary Fire Chief.
Fire Capt. Shannon Sarcione's dream was to become a fire chief, Fire Chief P.J. Lamothe said Tuesday.
"Nice young man. I had the liberty of watching him grow up, becoming a man and raising a son who's 11 years old now," she said. "It's a devastating loss to his family, the firefighters in the department and the community."
Sarcione, 39, was raised in Stoddard by his parents Joseph and Bonnie Sarcione. He worked for his family logging and landscaping business, J & F Cord Wood LLC.
Sarcione and another man were cutting down trees Monday afternoon in an area off School Street. One of them had cut a notch in the tree, preparing to fell it after clearing some limbs nearby, said State Police Sgt. Phillip Gaiser.
Gaiser said high winds likely knocked over the tree before the loggers were ready to take it down. The other man was not injured and did not see the tree fall on Sarcione.
Sarcione was pronounced dead at the scene.
His father, Joseph Sarcione, is the department's deputy chief and has been a Stoddard firefighter for 35 years.
Lamothe, who has been in the department for 34 years, said Shannon Sarcione joined the town fire department at 19. He was a single dad and primary caregiver for his 11-year-old son.
"He loved being a father. He's very proud of his son," Lamothe said.
He also had just moved in with his girlfriend, who has a daughter.
"They were just starting a new life," she said.
In 2010, Sarcione along with the other members of the Stoddard Fire & Rescue team were awarded the 2010 Lawrence A. Volz Emergency Medical Service Heroism Award by N.H. Emergency Medical Service Committee of Merit for an Aug. 8, 2009, rescue of a Stoddard resident who was caught in the spillway on the Highland Lake Dam and clinging onto a cable.
Sarcione, as the operator of the rescue boat, played a vital role in the rescue, Lamothe said.
"The water levels were really high, and the currents were very strong, and we didn't have a lot of room. The crew of the boat could have gone over the dam themselves, so it was a very risky maneuver that they did," she said.
Lamothe said she was approached by another member of the fire department Tuesday and asked if Sarcione could be made an honorary chief. She thought it was a good idea so she made it so.
"He's a giver; he gives of himself to people; to people of the community and members of the department," she said of Sarcione. "You can call him up when you have a problem, and he drops everything and comes and helps you."
A memorial service for Sarcione is planned for 11 a.m. Saturday at James Faulkner Elementary School in Stoddard, she said.

Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr took the stage together on Sunday night at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards and performed a song from McCartney's latest album New. The moment was making history as it was their first performance together since 2009.
Paul McCartney appeared on stage playing a colorful piano from the Magical Mystery Tour era, and Starr rocked out on the drums. Fans could hardly contain themselves for the moment as people were delighted to see the two popular stars performing on stage.
Paul McCartney seemed to be a regular on the Grammys during Sunday night. He was joined on stage by Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear to accept their award for Best Rock Song for a track he had written with the former Nirvana band members.
Another surprise of the night was the introduction for the Beatles band members. Julia Roberts announced their performance and looked delighted to be part of the moment as she said a few words about the performance.
Take a look at the video clip of Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr perform on Grammys. While the guys might be older, the fans still see the talented entertainers as part of the British band that swept America.

Photoshop Touch: Easily fade images together
While building Photoshop Touch, we've constantly sought to balance simplicity & power. For this release, we opted not to include Photoshop-style layer masks (powerful, but not exactly trivial to understand). Instead we incorporated what we think is a simpler, more direct way to achieve a common use of masking. In this short video Russell Brown demonstrates the Add Fade command:
Curious when the estimated ship date is.
[The newly announced touch apps will ship on Android in November, after which we plan to bring them to iOS. (Sorry, we can't be more specific about the latter. I know that's frustrating.) --J.]
With all those sub-options and sub-clicks for the positions, end-point subtleties and opacities, it seems more confusing, more complex and less natural than a proper Photoshop style layer mask would be.
[Really? It's just a gradient--no more complex than what Photoshop would show. One advantage PS Touch has over CS5 is the on-canvas preview/handles. True, with CS5 you wouldn't see anything on canvas & that does indeed look simpler, but that approach is much more subject to trial & error. --J.]
I hope that there is still the possibility that layer masks will arrive in the finished product?
[Not in v1, no. --J.]
Dear designers.
Please include layer mask in the new version. I really love it in the cs3 and I'd like to also have it in my tablet.
Thank you

Making the decision of cutting your hair is not the easiest, especially when you have always had longer hair. You may be wondering if you are making the right decision. It is a good idea to look at the advantages of having short hair before you make the decision to cut it as it will take a while to grow back. If you are already considering going with short hair in 2104, then you should check this great short hairstyles ideas from Farouk Systems for the summer season of 2014:

Women Who Intimidate
- Wednesday, March 28, 2007
The young woman in the back of the room raised her hand during a Q&A session at the end of the talk I had just given. With a tinge of bitterness, she asked, "When men say that a woman is intimidating, what are they really saying? Is that just a code word for when is a woman is ugly? Or too successful? Or what?"
The sea of heads swiveled from back to front to look at me. There was a lot of emotional freight in that question and I paused momentarily to consider my answer (the gist of which I'm presenting here).
"Well, 'intimidating' can mean several things," I said. "A woman's physical attractiveness, her character, her demeanor, her attainment – all of that can be daunting to a man who considers such an appealing woman out of his league. But that doesn't mean he won't go for it and see if she'll accept his attention.
"But in my limited experience, when men describe women as intimidating, they are most often referring to a woman whose spirit is hard and unyielding. They are intimidated by her contentious attitude, by her 'chew 'em up and spit 'em out' attitude. Such a woman makes them wary."
Not everyone understands this phrase in the same way. Feminists have generally interpreted this to mean that a successful woman is intimidating to men. So when they hear that description, they react with scorn toward men who can't handle a competent woman. That's what I used to believe, too, having been thoroughly indoctrinated in my feminist, unbelieving past. Even for several years as a Christian, I maintained a similar view. But then I had a few key conversations and the light started to dawn.
With that feedback and a look at Scripture (certainly the Proverbs 31 woman is ultra-competent and she is being celebrated, not dismissed!), I realized intimidation has nothing to do with successful performance but everything to do with attitude. A woman is either peaceful and gentle, which are fruits of a heart that is humble and trusts God, or she is turbulent with the pushy arrogance and impatience of a woman who is self-centered. Men are intimidated when they think they will encounter a brick wall in trying to lead or serve a woman like this. It has more to do with an unyielding and judging spirit than competence. That's why I nodded and cringed with recognition as I read the chapter on women with strong personalities from "Peacemaking Women," by Tara Klena Barthel and Judy Dabler.
Whether at home or in the workplace, women with leadership gifts and strong personalities will be prone to conflict. … By leadership gifts we mean the ability to encourage and motivate people to follow. By strong personality we mean that combination of vivaciousness and infectious enthusiasm that often accompanies bright minds and verbal prowess. ... Sometimes a woman with a strong personality does not understand how she comes across to the people around her. We both cringe when we consider how we related with people when we were in our twenties. Often we were decisive – and intimidating. We were determined – and disrespectful. Instead of understanding that some people thrive in more contemplative environments, we communicated with people in ways that implied we thought they were slow or weak. We were blind on how much our drivenness communicated that we believed others lacked passion and importance simply because they did not strive to accomplish as many goals or objectives as we did. Ironically, that same drivenness came from a desire to succeed and to bless the people around us. But our attitudes and our behaviors put people off and caused conflict.

The Yankees can breathe easy when it comes to their pitching staff this season. Going into 2014, the Yankees are suddenly very deep in the starting pitching department. With the starting five all set, the Bombers have a few viable options with David Phelps, Adam Warren and Vidal Nuno all capable of starting and each having very good spring training numbers. Last season's staff faced more than their fair share of problems, and the Yankees did not have many options. This year, the Yankees' staff boasts a young, talented core behind two seasoned veterans and they looked poised to compete with some of the best rotations in baseball.
The starting rotation according to manager Joe Girardi with their Spring Training numbers
LHP C.C. Sabathia: 5 Games, 21 IP, 2-1 W/L, 1.29 ERA, 16 Ks
RHP Hiroki Kuroda: 2 Games, 8.1 IP, 1-0 W/L, 6.48 ERA, 8 Ks
RHP Ivan Nova: 5 Games, 19.2 IP, 2-1 W/L, 3.66 ERA, 21 Ks
RHP Masahiro Tanaka: 4 Games, 15.0 IP, 1-0 W/L, 3.00 ERA, 16 Ks
RHP Michael Pineda: 4 Games, 15.0 IP, 2-1 W/L, 1.20 ERA, 16 Ks
While Hiroki Kuroda's numbers are a little skewed due to one bad outing in limited appearances, the Yankees' rotation has looked very strong. C.C. Sabathia is looking to return to his old self after a very down season in 2013. After making headlines by losing a lot of weight, Sabathia got off to a rough start this spring, but has looked terrific as of late and has not allowed a run over his last three starts. Ivan Nova is looking to capitalize on an amazing second half in 2013 and overcome some recent inconsistencies to return as one of the Yankees best pitchers. Michael Pineda is finally healthy and ready to compete as a Yankee for the first time since being traded from the Mariners before the 2012 season. He's looked very good and has more than earned his place on the staff. Then of course there's Masahiro Tanaka, who was the coveted pitcher of the off-season. After being posted by the Rakuten Golden Eagles (His team in Japan) the Yankees beat out every other team in baseball to acquire his services on a 7-year, $155 million dollar contract. Tanaka has dazzled in spring training and fans in the Bronx are giddy over seeing him the regular season.
But what about the pitchers that missed out on the starting rotation? Going into Spring Training the Yankees 5th starter spot was up for grabs and Michael Pineda, David Phelps, Vidal Nuno, and Adam Warren were all in the running to claim it. In the end Warren and Phelps' versatility worked against them and Michael Pineda was excellent and eventually won the spot. Phelps and Warren are headed to the bullpen and Nuno may also end up there but odds are that he'll start the season in Triple-A and will make spot starts in the Major Leagues if necessary. So what exactly have the Yankees' talented reserves been doing thus Spring?
RHP David Phelps: 6 Games, 20.2 IP, 1-1 W/L, 2.61 ERA, 14 K's
LHP Vidal Nuno: 3 Games, 7 IP, 0-0 W/L, 3. 86 ERA, 6 K's
RHP Adam Warren: 4 Games, 9.2 IP, 1-1 W/L, 1.86 ERA, 10 K's
The numbers may not jump off the page, but they're still very respectable for guys with limited experience starting. Phelps competed well against Pineda right to the end, but ultimately lost out on the starting role. Warren and Phelps could be huge pieces in the Yankees' post- Mariano Rivera bullpen. Both hurlers can pitch in both long relief or quick outings making them too versatile to be designated to the rotation. The Yankees might want to use Vidal Nuno as a second lefty reliever to pair with Matt Thornton, but he'll more than likely be ticketed for Triple-A where the Yankees can stash him in case of an emergency.
What the Yankees lacked last year (among other things) was depth. Now that they're in a position to really compete in 2014, they'll need to keep their pitching staff fresh and ready and they now have a lot of options to do just that.

Sony Unplugs Third Network; 100 Million Affected
This story was updated at 10:30 p.m. EDT Monday.
Nearly 25 million more personal accounts than previously thought were affected by last month's massive Sony security breach, the company announced late today (May 2), bringing the total to just over 100 million.
Financial data, including credit and debit card numbers and direct-debit bank account numbers, of about 23,400 users in Europe may also have been stolen.
All the accounts were with Sony Online Entertainment (SOE), a Sony service that hosts massively multiplayer online games (MMOs), such as EverQuest and DC Universe Online, which are mainly played using personal computers.
Sony suddenly shut down the service "temporarily" Monday, initially stating only that, "in the course of our investigation into the intrusion into our systems we have discovered an issue that warrants enough concern for us to take the service down effective immediately."
From bad to worse
Early in the morning Japan time Tuesday (May 3), the company issued a more detailed press release.
"Hackers may have stolen SOE customer information on April 16th and 17th, 2011 (PDT)," the release read. "Personal information from approximately 24.6 million SOE accounts may have been stolen, as well as certain information from an outdated database from 2007. ... [which] includes approximately 12,700 non-U.S. credit or debit card numbers and expiration dates (but not credit card security codes), and about 10,700 direct debit records of certain customers in Austria, Germany, Netherlands and Spain."
"There is no evidence that our main credit card database was compromised," Sony Online Entertainment said in a separate posting. "It is in a completely separate and secured environment."
Many European banks give clients the option of allowing third parties to directly debit their accounts in order to pay utility bills and meet other regular expenses.
One of biggest data breaches ever
An estimated 78 million accounts were initially thought to have been exposed by the breach of the PlayStation Network and Qriocity, both of which were shut down April 20. Sony has maintained that the credit and debit card numbers of all users of those two networks had been securely encrypted.
Among all three services, approximately 102 million accounts appear to have been compromised, making last month's intrusion one of the biggest data breaches ever. (The theft of 130 million credit card numbers from Heartland Payment Systems in 2008-2009 is still the largest and most serious.)
As with the PlayStation and Qriocity breaches, the information exposed on each account would have included full name, address, email address, birthdate, gender, telephone number and login username. The passwords were "hashed," partly encrypted via a method that is difficult to crack.
Despite the lack of financial data, such information is still worth something to online criminals, who can use it to carry out identity theft. It can also be used in "spear phishing" schemes, which use personal details to deceive specific individuals who have access to valuable information.
The PlayStation Network is used by millions of gamers using PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable game consoles, which are much more specialized and often much more powerful than personal computers.
Qriocity is an entertainment on-demand service accessed from personal computers, PlayStation 3s, Sony Blu-ray players, Sony television sets and the newly announced Sony tablet computers.
The news about the Sony Online Entertainment shutdown on Monday came even as Sony began to recover from the nearly two-week shutdown of the PlayStation Network.
Some sites speculated that there may have been a new intrusion, while others figured that Sony administrators had found the same weaknesses in the Sony Online Entertainment network as in the PlayStation Network, and shut it down as a precaution.
The Sony Online Entertainment and PlayStation Network services are housed in two separate server systems located in San Diego. Qriocity is reportedly housed in servers in Marina del Rey, a coastal suburb of Los Angeles.
Sony on Saturday (April 30) had said that the PlayStation Network would slowly be coming back online this coming week. It was not clear if the Sony Online Entertainment shutdown would affect those plans.
Execs bow heads in shame
On Sunday, three Sony company officials bowed their heads in shame, as is sometimes done in Japan, before reporters at a press conference in Tokyo before addressing the PlayStation Network intrusion.
Executive Deputy President Kazuo Hirai, thought to be the heir apparent to company President Howard Stringer, explained that while about 77 million user accounts had been exposed, the number of individuals would have been less since many run multiple accounts.
He said only about 10 million users had credit cards registered with the service, and that all card numbers had been encrypted.
Chief Information Officer Shinji Hasejima said the company had not been aware of the vulnerability exploited to get into the back end of the PlayStation Network, and that the company was creating the new position of chief information security officer to improve and enhance such aspects."
Because the PlayStation Network and Sony Computer Entertainment, Inc., are both based in California, the executives said Sony had asked the FBI to lead the investigation into the breach.

Because the PlayStation Network and Sony Computer Entertainment, Inc., are both based in California, Sony has asked the FBI to lead the investigation into the breach.
Furthermore, Sony offered to pay for the cost of any user who felt it necessary to change credit cards, even as it maintained those numbers were safe.
"We want to state this again given the increase in speculation about credit card information being used fraudulently," read a posting by Senior Director Patrick Seybold posted on both the North American and European PlayStation Network websites.
"One report indicated that a group tried to sell millions of credit card numbers back to Sony. To my knowledge there is no truth to this report of a list, or that Sony was offered an opportunity to purchase the list."
Nightmare scenario averted?
One tech blogger feared that the hackers who got into the PlayStation Network could have been after something much more serious than credit card numbers.
"This attacker could potentially have created overnight the largest botnet in the world by a very large margin," software developer Marsh Ray wrote.
"Each PlayStation 3 is something [of] a supercomputer in its own right. Each has 6 to 9 high-performance cores (depending on how low-level the code executes) running at 3.2 GHz, plus an Nvidia GPU," Marsh explained. "In 2008, researchers using 'just' 200 PS3s for a weekend were able to forge a rogue CA certificate of a type trusted by web browsers to authenticate the identity of any webserver."
There is no evidence anything of the sort actually did happen, but Marsh is correct in pointing out that even a few thousand PS3s operating in unison would be incredibly powerful.

It's a little complicated writing a review on this order because the one order included a Bluetooth transmitter AND an FM transmitter.The product quality of the two items was very different. My order arrived promptly. The Bluetooth transmitter was virtually unusable a it had delays and sound breaking up even when used just ten feet away with clear line of sight. The FM transmitter is the type you use in your car to send sound from smartphone, MP3 player, etc. to your car FM receiver. That product worked just fine. It did just what it was supposed to do without difficulty. The really important thing is the customer service I received from Overstocked staff. I was a first time customer and needed some help placing my order. When I called to say the order was unsatisfactory, the customer service rep was prompt, courteous and offered me several options. I selected the option I preferred and I am completely happy with the entire transaction and plan to be a regular customer.

Sexual Relations During Pregnancy
Becoming Pregnant (How it all happens)
Couvade - The Modern World
Couvade in the Modern World
Couvade still exists, but in a different form.
Even though ritualistic Couvade has still been reported during the twentieth century, in the most part of the modern western world the practice no longer
Having said that, the term 'Couvade' is applied in medical terms to the psychosomatic condition of sympathetic pregnancy. The man will suffer symptoms when no physiological basis exists.
The manifestation of the condition can vary widely. Anything from simple weight gain to back pains during pregnancy and stomach spasms during birth. As many as 80% of expectant fathers can experience Couvade in some form or other, although only a very few will display the more dramatic symptoms.
Symptoms of Couvade can include:
Variations in appetite
Weight Gain
Mood swings
Itchy skin
Food cravings
It seems that the symptoms are most profound during the third & fourth month then again just as the birth approaches. All symptoms seem to disappear after the birth.
The reasons for the manifestation of Couvade in modern man is of course poorly understood. Many theories exist for the onset of this psychosomatic condition, here are a few:
A physical expression of anxiety over the birth.
Sympathy/empathy with your partner.
A form of pretend sibling rivalry where your partner becomes the sibling that you want to outdo.
A method of identifying with the foetus.
A display of guilt for having impregnated your partner.
An assertion of paternity.
Outward appearances of ambivalence towards fatherhood being counteracted by internal anxiety.
Jealousy of the mother's ability to carry the child.
Jealousy of the mother's birth experience.
As you can see, there are many alternative theories, so pick one that most suits your character.
The best way to fight Couvade is to firstly understand that it really does exist and that it is simply a basic human reaction to the pregnancy. The next thing to do is to try to understand why you are reacting in the way you are. Most men show only very mild symptoms, so unless you feel the baby kicking inside of you or you need pads for your leaking breast milk, then you don't really need to worry.
Couvade is becoming more common in the western world with the social changes that have taken place in the last thirty years that now allow the man to take a more active and caring role in pregnancy. The most common manifestation of Couvade is caused by the deep empathy that you have towards your partner and the changes that she is going through.

Considered one of the top resorts in the Southwest for nearly a decade, the serene yet sceney Sanctuary continues to impress its high-profile guests with its cuisine, spa, and gorgeous suites. It's not perfect -- few resorts are -- but it undeniably has the most desirable location in Scottsdale, overlooking Praying Monk Rock and the desert, not suburban sprawl.
W Marriott Camelback Inn, which dates back to the 1930s, is located in the upscale Paradise Valley section of Scottsdale, surrounded by tall desert palms, cacti, and rolling mountains. The styling of the Southwest is evident throughout the resort -- starting in the lobby, which has warm leather chairs, dark wood floors, and a big fireplace. The casita-style rooms feature log-beamed ceilings, French doors that open onto a private balcony or patio, and decor inspired by the desert surroundings. Seven suites on the property each have their own pool. But bathrooms need updating, and the accommodations overall lack the nuances of other properties in this class, such as the Sanctuary. Guests will find all the features of a large resort here, however, including six restaurants (one is BLT Steak), two 18-hole golf courses, spa, contemporary fitness center, free-form pool, and Jacuzzi.
This Spanish villa-style property with great views of Camelback Mountain is one of Scottsdale's most luxurious desert retreats. The grounds feature pretty floral-lined walkways and arched entrances, and sophisticated rooms have lots of Spanish-inspired details, including dark woods and big mirrors. But all the extra fees can add up.
This 250-acre Starwood resort and conference center is a luxury property ideally situated on the edge of Camelback Mountain in Phoenix's Sonoran desert. The massive property makes a striking first impression, with its lush green landscaping, waterfalls, koi ponds, and palms set against a rugged backdrop. Meanwhile, communal interiors have an old-world luxury appeal with marble floors and chandeliers. For activities, there is a USGA 27-hole golf course and pro shop, 11 tennis courts with various surfaces, and a winding cactus garden for beautiful sunrise walks. The nine pools have attendants who will regularly deliver towels and pitchers of ice water, and a spa with 24 treatment rooms. Comfortable accommodations include 643 rooms in the hotel, 119 casitas near Necklace Lake, and a number of residential-style suites. Guests have their choice among 10 restaurants and lounges, as well as easy access to both Scottsdale and Phoenix.
A middling motel in downtown Scottsdale turned boutique-style standout by the Kimpton Group, the FireSky "resort" offers something for everyone -- a sandy play space by the pool; free wine during happy hour; a cozy cocktail lounge; a small but sufficient spa; kid-friendly marshmallow roasts; the list goes on. It's crowded for a reason: value.
Hermosa Inn is an intimate, romantic southwestern retreat, with 34 casita-style rooms on six sprawling acres, surrounded by cacti and flowering plants. The attractive pool has palm trees and cushy cabanas, and the Blue Door Spa Suite offers massages and facials. During chillier nights, guests can use the fire pits and sit back with a glass of wine (try the fire pits facing Camelback Mountain for stunning sunset views.) The higher-end Casita rooms come with cathedral ceilings, fireplaces, and private patios. The lower-priced Rancho rooms are just as tastefully decorated, and most include beehive fireplaces. The area is safe and residential (great for a morning jog), but that doesn't mean it lacks an interesting history. Lon's -- the inn's gourmet outdoor restaurant -- is named after Lon Megargee, a cowboy and artist whose home was once on the property. Lon's artwork is displayed in several areas of the resort, including the Last Drop Bar, where guests can order tapas and cocktails. For wine lovers, Hermosa Inn has been regularly recognized by Wine Spectator; ask for a tour of the extensive wine cellar.
The Four Seasons is one of the top luxury resorts in Scottsdale, with a gorgeous bi-level pool, an intimate setting in the Sonoran Desert, and beautiful grounds that blend with the surrounding landscape (expect tall cacti, flowering shrubs, and natural stone formations). The property comprises a cluster of low adobe-style buildings; the 210 rooms and suites are housed in 25 casitas, giving the Four Seasons the feel of a small village. The lobby is stunning and high-design, with colorful, modern Southwestern decor, wrought-iron light fixtures, and wood-beamed ceilings. Rooms aren't quite as stylish, but are still elegant and feature gas-burning fireplaces, L'Occitane toiletries, iHome alarm clocks, and plush beds. Solid dining options, a wonderful spa, a huge fitness center, and an on-site art gallery round out the experience. But there are fees for Wi-Fi and parking, and the parking lot is a bit far from the main building -- though staff can escort guests to and from in golf carts.

Mark your calendars: St. Vincent's new self-titled album drops on February 25th. The album features eleven tracks and will be released via Loma Vista / Republic Records.
The self-titled album is energetic and funky – two adjectives that also describe Annie Clark, the mastermind behind the music. With voluminous white hair and sharp features, Clark's appearance surely matches her sound. She describes the new album as being "a party record you could play at a funeral." The new music video for "Digital Witness," the album's second single, highlights the uniqueness that is St. Vincent in both style and rhythm. Regarding the musical recordings, Clark has said "I knew the groove needed to be paramount." Fans and critics alike can agree St. Vincent's sound is sure to leave a lasting impression.
The album is currently available for online streaming and can be heard here. If you like what you hear, be sure to catch St. Vincent live at the Boston House of Blues on February 27th, two days after the album officially releases.

Did you know Microsoft Office is available online for FREE? I didn't learn about it until this morning. There is a Time magazine article explaining how Microsoft is now making it easier for people to find Office Online.
When you go to the Microsoft Office Online page you can use:
- Word Online
- Outlook.com
- OneNote Office
- PowerPoint Online
- Excel Online
- Calender
- OneDrive
A benefit, besides being free, is that anyone with internet access can use this. So if you are working with a coworker, who only has the Internet version like you do, you can still share files and work together. OneDrive allows you to save files online and even backup your computer for FREE. The personal OneDrive plan gives you 7 GB for free. If that's not enough storage, there are other options but there is a charge for those.
Have you tried out Microsoft Office Online? Did you find any disadvantages to it?

Uncle Louie's Pizza Lounge Redux
You done improved, son (while increasing your price $.25)
My previous review of Uncle Louie's can be found here: here, this is the link click this. As with most of my reviews, I was met with a bit of vitriol. Some kind soul named Sarah (I'm intentionally misspelling your name) decided to assert that I am "definitely a pathetic excuse for a human being." Oh lawdy! That must have been a good review I should probably re-read it but I shall not.
If you look at my past review's comment section and can somehow see beyond Sarah's flabby, maltreated cunt, you will see that a guy named Rocky invited me back to try an updated slice. His writing ability is definitely suspect but he seemed sincere so I decided to check in recently. I had a fresh $180 in fantasy football winnings burning a hole in my pocket and a crummy cooling system burning a hole in my car.
Below we have the old slice followed by the new slice:
If nothing else, we can be sure that we are dealing with completely different beasts here. In the first slice we are clearly dealing with underdone crust and the rest of the package looks pretty good. In the second picture we see a properly-cooked crust with a weird rim, a mass of cheese, and a potential over-saucing of the pie.
While I immediately take issue when a pizza maker takes it upon himself to create an artificial rim-job (heh heh), it's not the end of the world. However, just stop doing this. I don't even want to picture how this weird demarcation line is created on every pizza pie. It hurts my bones.
The slice looks like it might be oversauced but it really wasn't. Except, perhaps, near the rim of the crust. However, I was entirely okay with this because the pizza sauce was REALLY GOOD. I really liked it, two thumbs up, et cetera.
The problem with this slice is the cheese and basically there's just too much of it. In one sense - the fatty sense - you're kind of getting your money's worth. You're paying $2.75 for a cheese slice and it is a BIG SLICE, one of the biggest in town (their menu says an XL is 18" but this looked to be cut out of a 20"+ or maybe I'm nuts). This slice, however, is not easily fold-and-eatable, due to the very thin crust and over-abundance of cheese. You have to baby it to make sure it just doesn't flop into a pile of cheese on the plate. A lot of people will love this and I implore them to patronize Uncle Louie's because it is right up your alley. Personally, I woulda been happier with about 50% of the cheese. In terms of quality the cheese seemed okay but probably a degradation from last time.
In a perfect world, this review would silence my shitty critics. However, it is more likely that going from a 4.5 review to a 3 review will only engender pure fanatical hatred that I didn't give this place a perfect score. A score of 3 on this blog puts you in the upper echelon, now suck my dick.

Pizza Hut Pan Pizza
This is gonna be a short post. I just want to let you know that Pizza Hut Pan Pizza SUCKS! I know, I'm a pizza snob so of course I think that Pizza Hut sucks. But at some point in the past 20 years Pizza Hut's pan-style offering has gone to complete shit. Hell, even Domino's pan crap is far superior to Pizza Hut, which is a ludicrous bunch of shit if you ask me.
Clearly not pan-formed. No awesome to-the-edge-cheese burnt crustiness. Nothing good in this world, God hates you and he always has, deal with it, Pizza Hut sucks. Toppings seemed liberally applied though and the jalapenos were classically awesome (always my favorite PH topping even as a small child).
The first time I ate Domino's was on a trip to Jersey as a child. We went to a mall specifically to get Domino's because it was my dad's friend's favorite pizza. Me and my brother pretended to eat it but spit it into napkins on the sly. On the other hand, we used to occasionally take trips to Pizza Hut and man I loved their pan pizza. On the off chance that my basketball team won a game, my dad would take us all out to Pizza Hut and I would get a personal pan pizza with jalapenos. If we lost, we were all summarily beaten with a gilded belt.
Nowadays, Pizza Hut pan pizza resembles Dominos regular pizza of yore and Domino's pan pizza fairly closely resembles old school Pizza Hut pan pizza. It doesn't make sense, my childhood is a lie and check this out: FUCK YOU, PIZZA HUT!
p.s. I should mention that my memories might be in relation to the personal pan pizzas, which might still be awesome to this day. I really have no idea. I just wanted to write a post about pizza, my girlfriend bought this recently, and it sucked a lot.
p.p.s. The breadsticks are still awesome in their old-school pizza-hutty way. Or at least that's how it seems to this old bird.
In-n-Out Pizza & Subs
This ain't no hamburger
I went to my brother's house in Leland recently and he said "I'm getting In-n-Out for lunch," and I said, "no you're not, you prostitute." For the impossibly uninformed, In-n-Out is the best burger chain on the west coast. It kind of resembles Cook-out insofar as they like dashes in their names, they make good burgers for cheap, and they print Christian bullshit on their products. Another similarity is that neither of them sell goddamn pizza.
I remember Paul Stephen of the Star News mentioning the Princess Pizza guys would be opening this place. I would link to the article/blog post but the Star News site is still, inexplicably, locked behind a paywall. Anyhow, I guess the gents from Princess Pizza figured the name In-n-Out worked for an entire half of America, it oughta work for them, too. The name 'Princess Pizza' sure as fuck didn't work. What the fuck do I do at a place called Princess Pizza, play dress-up alongside my dollies and eat crumpets with my tea? Anyway this new joint is called In-n-Out and they serve pizza in Leland.
Three years ago I reviewed Princess Pizza in downtown Wilmington. They got one of the worst ratings I've ever given out: 7/8 recircs. "The sixth worst pizza in Wilmington" is not something they ever felt inclined to print on their pizza boxes, apparently. I bring this up because, man, I was not expecting to like In-n-Out's pizza, in any way, shape, or form.
My initial impression was that it looked like an amalgam of Papa Johns and NY-style pizza. The crust looked a bit poofy and soft in the faggotiest of ways. The cheese looked a bit overdone. But it had promise. It definitely looked better than the Princess garbage I've had in the past and at $9.99 for an 18", the opening of this pizza box held my interest.
The star here is the cheese. I assume it is Grande, but I'm not sure. It tastes like the cheese you get on every pizza that has ever knocked your socks off. Normally I'm not a cheese fiend but this is an exception. That is partly because the rest of the pizza was markedly crummier than the cheese. The sauce was alright. No complaints but no great compliments either. It wasn't a pasty, overspiced and overcooked mess but it wasn't great, either. Probably above average in terms of local pizzerias, though.
The problem with this pizza is with the dough. And it's not even really the formulation of the dough, because in a lot of ways it is pretty good. It seemed properly salted and the consistency was alright. The big problem is that they cook their pizzas on screens. This resulted in the cheese burning on top and the bottom of the pizza being whiter than my fat ass. If they cooked this thing directly on the deck it would be really, really, really good. Instead, it's just pretty good.
Man up, gents. Pizza peels might seem scary at first but you bitches can do it. I know you can. Contrary to what the pizzeria failures in this review's comments say, real pizza is never cooked on a screen. That's childish shit. Man the fuck up.
Also, what's the deal with turkey substitutes for pork products? I think these guys are Muslim. I don't mean that in mean/jokey way, I think they are. But c'mon guys. It's just a fuckin' pig. And I'm a fucking American let me eat dem pigs.

Terrazzo Trattoria
Prepare for a glowing review
As I approach my fifteenth year in this crumby city, I presently give pause to recollect. To be clear, I'm not approaching my fifteenth birthday. Double it, in fact. In two and a half months I will officially become an old geezer. Today I give test to my questionable wits and my ever-faulty memory as I harken back to my previous visit to Terrazzo, ages ago. I remember it being maybe one third the size of its present, spawling nightclubby self. I remember some stools and some rounded tiny tables and I remember feeling cramped. The Terrazzo of present is a far different affair. This is either due to my shitty memory or due to expansion on their part.
Here we see what I've been avoiding all this time. Since starting this blog over nine-thousand years ago, I've avoided Terrazzo. Initially it was because I hated their website and I was pretty sure that the only thing they would be willing to serve me was caviar pizza doused in gold-flecked elf blood gilded with endangered spider monkey urethra crispies. I don't even remember seeing the option of ordering, on their flipping menu, a god dang cheese pizza. Thankfully their menu now makes sense, except that it doesn't specify prices, which is the other thing I was worried about.
Also my girlfriend said she likes their pizza and she has terrible taste in everything. For example, me.
However, Terrazzo has always been a glaring hole in my grand pizza-reviewing masterpiece. After all, they are a pizzeria:
And they soundly proved that fact. These good folk make a very good NY-style pizza. I'm not, however, super-soaker-stoked about the prices they charge (a 14" pie is in line with what other places charge for an 18" pie). The pizza itself, however, is mostly without fault. The crust is, hey, crusty. It's not airy, it has a good bite to it, it has substance, it is very thin and yet it grants more than adequate structure. It's not fucking fried in grease and it's not cooked on a fucking pan. It's a god damn pizza. This pizza should be the friggen baseline. Why can't everyone make this? It's not fucking rocket science. It's a fucking pizza.
So I loved the crust. Only criticism is that there wasn't much of a crumb to the crust. Which is to say it say it could have had some kind of yeasty poof to it. That's probably the faggotyest thing I'll say in my life and I'm okay with that.
The sauce reminded me of a can of crushed tomatoes, reduced and minimally spiced. Which is what pizza sauce is supposed to be. It was applied with care and in proportion to the rest of the pie.
The cheese was good. They clearly don't try to skimp on their pizza products. It was neither over- nor under-applied. Added to the top of said cheese was some oregano.
The simplest pizza in the world. Easy as pie.
Yup, boner.

The Morbid State of Wilmington Pizza
I was just updating the Listing page and man has shit changed in recent time-units. Starting from the bottom:
Shit never mind I think they're still around for some reason. After driving by this place, however, I'm fairly convinced that Avanti is now a fucking Waffle House. It might come as an absolute and incomparable shocker but whenever a pizzeria starts serving breakfast maybe their pizza is trash and no one wants to fucking buy it. Disclosure: I only vaguely remember seeing some shit about them serving breakfast advertised on the side of the road.
Sbarro is, thankfully, DEAD. It was replaced by ...
Scotto Pizza
Scotto Pizza, which, as the lordly lords of fate have willed it HAS ALSO FUCKING PERISHED. It's a shame about Scotto Pizza because I fucking liked their pizza. I think I did, anyway; check out the review and let me know because I sure as fuck don't want to read it. Notwithstanding anything I may have said let me make this much clear: that was good mall pizza.
Nino's of Eastwood/Market
This shit is for real dead now. There was a Nino's in Wrightsboro. That shit is dead. There was a Nino's at Eastwood and Market and that shit is REALLY DEAD. Let me quickly add a special fuck you to you guys, even if you did run the original Wrightstboro outfit. You simultaneously said that you used subpar ingredients in a pinch while saying that the recipe was the same. After reading the comments HERE, please join me in a communal Hey fuck you. You guys are fucking loons. Oh yeah then you have some Amore douchers pretending like they're the original Nino's (THIS ISN'T THEM) as well as ...
This place (ALSO NOT THEM) is now Nino's. No. Fuck me. It's Amore. And Nino's in Wrightsboro, that is also Amore. But they serve different pizza and they don't seem to share any sort of branding. But THIS REALLY ALL MAKES SENSE, TRUST ME. By the way, the pizza isn't similar as far as I remember except that it FUCKING SUCKS COMPARED TO THE ORIGINAL NINO'S of Wrightsboro.
Nino's of Wrightsboro
Already mentioned but just a special shoutout to the original Nino's in Wrightsboro. This was pizza made by people that gave a shit. It wasn't a gimmick shitstain. Long live Nino's. I don't know what happened to "Nino" but it must have been a conglomeration of horrific rapes because I can't even begin to understand someone who operates a respectable pizzeria and then goes on to blow goats in parking lots for jitneys.
Alas, poor Tony! What a bummer to see this one slip away. I only learned this via the illustrious Paul Stephen of the Star News. Apparently they closed in April. I wish they had consulted me I would have told them that the location is misplaced and too-large. What a great slice, though!
There you have it. A lot of deaths recently in the local pizza world. A few out there might blame a poor sap like me. In all fairness, though, I'm just the kindly-yet-bored gent who has nothing better to do than post sticky-notes on vending machines saying 'The fritos are 2 years out of date, eat at own risk.' Because, let's all be honest, pizza is a simple product and if you can't do it maybe it's okay that I verbalize it in the form of progressively more vulgar rooftops-shouts from the heights of The Internets?
Brooklyn Sal's Famous Pizza
Oh yeah, Sal's closed down too. Wow, that bullshit lasted approximately no time whatsoever. Now he is down in Carolina Beach trying to pawn his shitty 'famous' pizza off on the yokels. FUCK YOU SAL!
Ellio's 5 Cheese Pizza
New ... content?
What is writer's block, really, besides the contempt for the old, the hatred of the current, and the lack of gumption to create anew? I've never been a writer but I have written a fair amount about pizza in the area. Largely my writings have been fueled by whiskeys, mostly bourbon. I don't drink much anymore and definitely not whiskey. I drink wine now, sometimes, and it's fucking terrible for writing. You tell me what happens after you chug a bottle of wine. It probably rhymes with god damn sex. Anyway, I'm sorry for not writing for like two thousand months.
Looks like a piece of horse shit, doesn't it? I have an unending love of Ellio's pizza, and I don't give a shit who knows. They've always had two varieties: cheese and shitty pepperoni. Truly, they've really named it Shitty Pepperoni. Because it's shitty. It's the worst pepperoni on any pizza frozen or otherwise. I've had dollar store pepperoni that's better.
Out of the shitbird blue they came out with a new 5-cheese variety. I'm immediately offended and intrigued.
Fuck the rest of the review it was basically their normal cheese pizza with a bit more flavor and extra spices and shit at the same price ($3 dollars on sale in my case; pictured is $1 worth).
I fucking loved it. I keep buying it. Fucking send help I love this shit.
