Thanksgiving can be dreadful for people who don't enjoy cooking or cleaning up after dinner guests. Well, they can give thanks this year to local restaurants and their holiday menus.
A good number of establishments are offering sit-down Thanksgiving dinner service. Traditional meals are on the table service or buffet menus at La Campagnola in Shamong, Carlucci's Waterfront in Mount Laurel, the The Madison in Riverside, Mastoris in Bordentown Township, Prospectors Grille and Saloon in Mount Laurel, and Braddock's Tavern in Medford.
Every Thanksgiving I do the cooking. All of it. From start to finish. And I wouldn't have it any other way.
I look forward to the dishes I grew up eating, keeping our Thanksgiving traditional with a few additional gourmet splurges added to the list.
The Academy of Culinary Arts at Atlantic Cape Community College is celebrating Beaujolais Nouveau wine Friday, starting 6:30 p.m. at the Mays Landing institution.
New wines from the Beaujolais region of France, the featured spirit is a "fun, uncomplicated" red variety that's meant to be enjoyed soon after bottling, according to the college. A selection of red wines, as well as a white Gewurztraminer from California, will be provided for tasting.
On this week's digital cooking show, Shereen shows you how to easily roast a turkey, carve it and make a darn good gravy.

1 (10-12 pound) fresh turkey (neck and giblets removed)
Carlo's Bakery is new to Evesham, but owner Buddy Valastro and his crew of pastry artists have already established a legion of loyal customers in South Jersey.
Hundreds, possibly thousands, of people lined up early Saturday morning at Marlton Square Specialty Center for the family-owned bakery's 11 a.m. grand opening on Route 73 North. It is the eighth bakery location for Carlo's, made famous by the TLC reality television shows "Cake Boss" and "The Next Great Baker." It is best known for creating elaborate custom cakes that helped generate a pastry art trend.
"Wine," Robert Louis Stevenson once said, "is bottled poetry."
Yes, the fruit of the vine indeed has charms, and over the last decade, it has increasingly become the subject of study, attention and, yes, appreciation.

Wine enthusiasts are in for a Grape Adventure.
Six Flags' is hosting its fifth annual wine and food festival Saturday and Sunday at Great Adventure in Jackson. Sponsored by Santander Bank and Kitchen Magic, the event runs from noon to 5 p.m. both days.
Ask two people if they like Indian food, and often the answers are as opposite as oil and vinegar: one says he loves it, the other would never allow a pinch of cardamon to hit his plate.
Rewal "Ray" Thind of Monsoon in Mount Laurel says many people haven't experienced authentic Indian food.
Mother Nature has some good friends in Westampton, and they're offering wine and dinner to draw in more potential supporters of a local environmental site.

Gourmet chocolate and the story of how it's made are leaving the factory for a public presentation.
The program hosted by the Porch Club of Riverton on Nov. 17 is made even sweeter with tastings of products made by Michel Cluizel Chocolates in West Berlin. Jacques Dahan, president of the French company's North American operations, will lead the presentation, which explores cocoa beans and the process of turning them into chocolate.
Popcorn, enjoyed every day but celebrated in October during National Popcorn Poppin' Month, existed long before today's dizzying array of snacks, tracing its roots back thousands of years.
Yet, throughout the ages, this enduring fan favorite has remained relatively unchanged. Popcorn kernels are the seeds of a large-grain plant also known as maize. Once the kernels are stripped from the cob and dried to 14 percent moisture, they can be popped and eaten.
Keeping a restaurant's brand fresh and innovative is a challenge for even the most experienced owners.
New places open, and it seems everyone wants to be the next foodie, escaping to experience romps in supposedly greener pastures. Yet, we risk losing that familiarity that our regular spots radiate.
This week, Chef Shereen Pavlides has an interesting use for fresh apples. Let the kids have their apple juice; this beverage is definitely for adults.
Shereen Pavlides will prepare four recipes this weekend during the Healthy Families Weekend at Snipes Farm and Education Center on Oct. 25 and 26. This is one of the dishes she will be making.
For the crumble:
One of the more sobering sights of our era is to see children at museums, street fairs, restaurants and shopping malls looking not ahead, but downward. They're not searching for treasures, we now understand. They're texting.
Parents who despair of this scenario might want to try an experiment: On the weekend of Oct. 25 and 26, put your kids in the car and take them to Snipes Farm and Education Center, a very special destination in Morrisville, Pennsylvania, for Healthy Families Weekend, presented by the Bucks County Courier Times, the Intelligencer and the Burlington County Times.
Hockey player Dave Schultz elevated the Philadelphia Flyers level of play in the 1970s with his aggressive style on the ice. Now, a sandwich created in his honor is enhancing the menu at the city's Wells Fargo Center.
The Hammer, which bears Schultz' nickname, is a seeded roll topped with smoked sausage, chopped pork and barbecue sauce. It's part of the lineup of new dining options that have joined the menu at the arena on South Broad Street, which is home to the NHL's Flyers and the NBA's Sixers.
Puréed, pickled, boiled or sautéed?
How about roasted? That's the way I like mine. Cauliflower, that is.

As part of an effort to help reduce legislative mailing costs and save taxpayer dollars, Assemblyman Steve McLaughlin (R,C-Melrose) today announced his initiative for residents of the 108th Assembly District to connect with him via email and established social media outlets such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. McLaughlin noted this would allow for real-time electronic updates about state government and, in the process, lessen the costs associated with printing, producing, and mailing official Assembly legislative newsletters.
"When it comes to legislative newsletters, all the printing, production, and postage costs can quickly add up," said McLaughlin. "This is why I am encouraging individuals to contact me by email and social media as part of my continued efforts to cut operating expenses.
"It's time to move forward and not only eliminate paper from our desks, but eliminate the automatic, wasteful printing that's filling our landfills. Albany needs to move into the digital age today to save taxpayer dollars of tomorrow. That's why my initiative urges constituents to connect with me electronically, which is free of charge.
"Staying in constant contact with my constituents and listening and responding to the needs of our community are the most important parts of serving as an elected official. That's why I make frequent use of email and social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and my official assembly website (http://assembly.state.ny.us/mem/Steven-F-McLaughlin/) to interact with families and concerned citizens at no cost to taxpayers.
"Going digital and ending the waste associated with paper sets us on a course to continue to correct some of the structural budgeting problems Albany faces year after year. I urge my constituents to contact me with any additional ideas on how we can work together to reduce government spending and the burdens on hardworking taxpayers."

Scientists offered new evidence on Tuesday that a component of egg whites, already popular as a substitute for whole eggs among health-conscious consumers concerned about cholesterol in the yolk, may have another beneficial effect in reducing blood pressure.
Their study was part of the 245th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS), the world's largest scientific society, which continues in New Orleans through Thursday.
"Our research suggests that there may be another reason to call it 'the incredible, edible egg,'" said study leader Zhipeng Yu of China's Jilin University.
"We have evidence from the laboratory that a substance in egg white - it's a peptide, one of the building blocks of proteins - reduces blood pressure about as much as a low dose of Captopril, a high-blood-pressure drug," he said.
Yu and colleagues used a peptide called RVPSL and found that it has a powerful ability to inhibit or block the action of ACE, a substance produced in the body that raises blood pressure.
Experiments with rats showed RVPSL did not have apparent toxic effects and lowered blood pressure by amounts comparable to low doses of Captopril.
Yu believes that egg white peptides, either in eggs or as a supplement, could become useful as an adjunct to high-blood-pressure medication.
For now, he said, people with high blood pressure should consult their health care provider before making any changes. And he noted that findings about egg white and high blood pressure add to the emerging nutritional image of eggs.
Once regarded as a food to avoid in a healthy diet, studies in recent years have concluded that many people can eat eggs without raising their blood cholesterol levels, benefiting from an inexpensive food low in calories and rich in protein, vitamins and other nutrients.

The past, present, and (uncertain) future of Hahamongna, site of an ancient village and home of diverse flora and fauna.
hahamongnawideview.jpg, image/jpeg, 2848x2134
Hahamongna is a Native American village site at what's now the base of JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) and currently threatened by an overly-elaborate plan to renovate Devil's Gate Dam. This plan involves defoliating the area. Alternative plans would spare the ecosystem; however, the more grandiose one seems to be favored because more money is involved.
The Arroyo Seco Foundation conducts regular tours, not only of Hahamongna Watershed Park (known for many years as Elk Grove Park) but the surrounding areas, identifying the many uses of local native plants. On March 22 was the 4th annual Hahamongna Walkabout (and Bikeabout). Participants got to eat pancakes made from local acorns and sample chia seeds and elderberries. At day's end, participants could carry buckets of sediment down to an unpaved portion of the Arroyo river and deposit them in the water. Passage of sediment to the coast—where it's beneficial to the ecosystem—is blocked by the dam. Hahamongna means "flowing waters, fruitful valley." Several pictures follow this article. Others can be seen here.
"The whole Arroyo Seco down to the confluence of the L.A. River was like a highway for Native Americans," said Michele Zack, whose book, Southern California Story: Seeking the Better Life in Sierra Madre, is among the few local histories that devotes more than a few sentences or paragraphs to the area's original inhabitants. "Yangna was the village that was right by the confluence. Up here there was a tribelet, chief, Hahamongvic, who met with Portola who was the first of the first of the Spaniards who came through this way. He was up sent here to establish where the mission should be."
Julia Bogany, Tongva/Gabrielino
Also speaking was Tongva/Gabrielino Julia Bogany who discussed many natural resources and their uses.
"The acorns were our flour, so we used them for all our baking goods," she said. "And we used the tops to make our top-things [indicating a children's toy]. So everything was put to use.
"We call the elderberry our tree of music because we make our instruments from it, but those are the berries, so we made our cobblers and the first Fruit Roll-Ups."
". . . The black walnut we used for our dye: hair dye, dyeing our baskets. And then we ate the inside and made dice with them."
She also mentioned rose hips, which she described as the only source of vitamin D in the basin.
She continued. "Chia, of course, is also a big trade for us because, I always tell the kids: 'Our hunters couldn't go hunting with a peanut butter sandwich or stop at 7-11. You just put a little, tiny bit [of chia] on the tip of your tongue. It has no flavor, it's just an energizer. Today you put it on salads, oatmeal, [inaudible] … I like it in lemonade."
". . . We didn't take the flower off the chia bush--we would just tap it into the basket, so the bush would continue to look beautiful."
". . . Our original gourdes would've been made out of the coyote gourde. They used to grow wildly like watermelons, but they're real thin after they're dry--they're heavy when you get them, but they become thin."
From the yucca, natives made ropes and paint brushes.
She also mentioned Tu Tea (aka: Mormon Tea). "We would make tea for the young boys before they went into the missions, so that [laughs] they would kind of be in a trance [laughter]."
More Humane Fishing? Stunning Instead of Hooking
"The wild cucumber is pretty prickly," she continued. "but we would grind it up and put it on the water, so fish would kind of fall in the net. It made their glans swell, and they would just fall in the net, but it wouldn't hurt the fish. In was an easy way to fish [laughs].
"The man seed comes from it. When it first comes out of the wild cucumber it's kind of green or light brown. It's soft, but then it turns hard, so then we make marbles out of them."
She also showed us two items made from pine needles, a basket and hair brush. Also discussed was
soapstone, which she said "was really the biggest item we had from Catalina [Tongva name: Pimu or Pimungna]." The stones were heated for use in cooking.
Tim Martinez of the Arroyo Seco Foundation
Tim Martinez, who has said he can survive off the local land, also discussed native plants. "I want to teach you guys how you can use white sage today in your everyday life. What people did here in California for thousands of years, and what I do (not every day but for sure every week when I go to school and stuff) is you can take a leaf of white sage, up to like a gallon of water, and you put it in your water—[with] just the leaf dried or just picked—and you just let it soak in there for like two minutes--and the water gets kind of a sage taste. And you just keep that in your water. This is what you drink every day. It's really good for boosting your immunity; it'll stop you from getting sick; they say it makes you calm, rational, help you make it through the day; it's really good for your central nervous system, . When you do actually get sick, you can actually make a tea from it.
"White sage was also smudged, so people would pray with white sage. They would ignite maybe one leaf, and you would use it like a feather, and you would purify. Just like if you go to church, if the purify with holy water or when I went to a Buddhist temple, we washed our hands with a towel. It's just a symbolic thing before you do something important. I recommend that you grow that in your yard."
White sage is also helpful for poison oak rashes. "What you do is make a tea," Martinez continued, "and you just put that tea, that warm water, on the rash. I have a pretty good immunity to poison oak rash, but months ago I got it, I got just a little bit on my arm. I thought, 'Hey, what a great chance to try this out.' I felt immediate relief-- the next day it had noticeably dried, and within a few days it was gone. It truly works, it's the best thing you can do, and I recommend you plant that in your yard."
Uses for Poison Oak
(Martinez discussed poison oak at another event on January 18 called Hike to Hahamongna. "Poison oak is a native plant. It has berries which provide deer and other wildlife [including birds] with food, so it's an important habitat plant. The native people would even use this as medicine. You can use the sap out of the vines, and you can apply that to warts and ringworms. Poison oak belongs. Native people, at around this time of year [early winter], [would] take those young leaves and eat a few of them. [T]hat way it would grant them immunity. I don't recommend it, but you can try it. Don't blame me—it's all on you. It is a medicinal plant, it belongs, and it's a good habitat plant.")
Recommended Reading
He highly recommended two books: Healing with Medicinal Plants of the West by Celia Garcia and James Adams and Survival Skills of Native California by Paul Campbell. "[I]f you guys want to learn how to have [traditional] survival skills here in California, how you can live off the prickly pear when you don't have water, [and] stuff like that, this book pretty much has it all," he added. "These two books are like my bibles."
He noted similarities between the healing practices of local tribes and those of the Chumash. Most California Indians trained at the same place, at what's now Cuddy Valley, close to Mount Pinos in Kern County.
Visitors were offered "pancakes" made from coast live oak acorn. When asked about the kind of sugar used, Martinez replied "honeydew secreted from aphids onto a native grass, giant wild rye grass."
He added that tobacco was used to suppress appetite during the winter when food was scarce.
Indigenous Vegetarians
During his presentation, Martinez also mentioned a tribe in Mexico, the Tarahumara (native name: Raramuri), that's traditionally vegetarian and remains so. "They do eat some meat, but it's mostly what they farm: corn, beans, squash, stuff like that, and local herbs and plants," he said. "Nowadays they have cows and stuff, but most don't, they live in mountains and canyons—canyons that are deeper than the Grand Canyon. So what they do now is maybe once a year if someone has a wedding or something, they'll kill a cow and have tacos. It's much less."
He added that for them, meat is "more like a seasoning. That's how a lot of people did it. Most Native Americans were actually vegetarian mostly. The whole buffalo culture came with horses, and horses came after the 1521 conquest of Mexico. . . . [A]t the same time, you had colonists on the West Coast pushing people westward. So you had the influx of horses and refugees, and that created for 100 or 200 years of intensive hunting buffaloes. The people living there used to live in these earthen domed houses , and they farmers. And the ones who were farmers actually did much better."
This author mentioned rabbit and bird traps as well as fishing by people here in California. He replied: "People here in California ate meat, don't get me wrong. That's where the rabbit skins come from. . . . . But there was so much diversity of plants. The acorn, the chia seed, the buckwheat [were staples]. So [meat] was supplemental. The anchor of traditional diets is grains, like corn here in the Americas, or rice in Asia, or wheats in the middle east like pita."
Discussion returned to the subject of runners. "But the people here in California--the Chumash, the Tongva, all the people in the area—they had runners, too, and they would eat the chia. That's like it's a runner's super food. I'm a runner, so I can attest to it.
"The messengers would have maybe a woven bottle or something, and theywould have that chia seed as like a drink. It would become gelatinous in water, and they would drink that. It gives you crazy endurance. . . . And they would run like 30-50 miles in between villages relaying messages and stuff.
"A lot of [the runners] here in California were celibate, they followed a special diet, they had esoteric running practices. They had certain breathing practices, I heard they would sing to the land as they ran, and it would get to a point where they would be in such a trance as they ran that it kind of made no difference whether it was them moving across the land or the land moving below them. They got into these deep trances. It was beyond runner's high."
Devil's Gate Dam
As mentioned earlier, the area is threatened by a proposed massive clean-up of sediment in Devil's Gate Dam. (The sediment hasn't been removed in quite a few decades.) The scale of the plan entails clearing out vast amounts of flora (which in turn would drive out fauna). "We're taking a stance that you can work in a much closer area to the dam and do it in a sustainable way—like clean[ing] that area every instead of leaving it alone for decades, letting it all pile up, and do one huge dig," Martinez continued. "People can stay safe, and we can also preserve this habitat."
Those interested in a more sustainable approach to cleaning Devil's Gate Dam are encouraged to contact their city council members if residents of Pasadena or Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich if residence of Los Angeles County.
Below is a video of Martinez from the Walkabout of 2012. He discusses local plants and uses not mentioned in this article. (At that time, the area was also threatened by a proposed soccer field.)

m. 646,887. Patantedflph 3, won. B. L. STOWE & .1. J. VOORHEES.
(Application filad Nov. 15, 1899.)
John/J 7507720 65,,
BENJAMIN L. STOJVE AND JOHN J. VOORHEES, OE JERSEY CITY, NElV JERSEY. I
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 646,887, dated April 3, 1900. Application filed November 15, 1899. Serial No. 737,032. (No model.)
To all whom, it may concern.-
Be it known that we, BENJAMIN L. STOWE and JOHN J.VooRHEEs, citizens of the United States, and residents of Jersey City, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Electric Signaling Devices for Hydraulic Hose, of which the following is a specification.
Our invention consists in a novel way of incorporating into hydraulic or fire hose electrical conductors or line-wires which are now in use to some extent for the purpose of permitting electrical signals to be interchanged between the engineer at the fire-engine and the hoseman or pipeman at the other end of the line of hose. We interpose wires between any two of the plies of which the hose may be formedas, for example, between the outer jacket and inner jacket of what is known as double-jacket fabric hose or between the fabric body of the hose and the rubber lining thereof, which lining may be considered as one of the plies for the purpose of defining our invention. In thus locating them we place them in an inclosing and protecting sleeve, and we crimp orbend the wires, which are thus located and protected and covered, so as to provide the necessary slack to compensate for the elongation or bending of the hose when in service. The sleeve can be made of fabric (which preferably is cut on the bias) and be coated or covered with uncured rubber or rubber cement. Thus prepared and containing the conducting wire or wires the sleeve preferably should be vulcanized and cured under flattening pressure, so as to solidify all parts of the device before it is inserted into the hose. This is when the device is to be inserted between two fabric plies; but when it is located between the rub ber lining and the fabric then it can be vulcanized and cured during the operation of vulcanizing the lining into place in the hose, as described in another application in our names for Letters Patent, Serial No. 7 36,427 filed November 9, 1899. If, however, it be desired to leave the wires free within the sleeve, so as to allow some slight freedom of movement of the wires within the confines of the sleeve, no cement or other adhesive material should be on the inside of the sleeve.
To enable others skilled in the art to un derstand and use our invention, we will now proceed to describe more particularly the manner in which it is or may be carried into effect by reference to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which Figure 1 is a cross-section of hydraulic hose of the kind known as double-jacket fabric hose embodying our invention, the conduc tors or line-wires and their inclosing sleeve being between the outer and inner fabric jackets of the hose. Fig. 2 is a view of the wire and sleeve detached, showing also a por tion of the wires protruding beyond the sleeve. Fig. 3 is a cross-section of the hose in which the sleeve and the wires contained in the same are interposed between the rubber lin ing and the fabric body of thehose. Fig. 4 is a detached view of wires and sleeve repre' sented in Fig. 3.
In Fig. 1, A is the outer fabric jacket, B is the inner fabric jacket, and O is the rubber lining for the latter. The conductors or line-wires are shown at a I), each having the usual insulating cover or sheath. They are contained in the sleeve 0, preferably made of fabric, although it may be made of other material, which is coated internally as well as externally with a vulcanizable rubber cement or other material, the sleeve thus prepared and containing the wires being cured or vulcanized under flattening pressure, so as to solidify and unify the device as a whole, as indicated in Fig. 2, before it is incorporated into the hose. The Wires (0 1) contained in the sleeve should be crimped, corrugated, or otherwise bent, so as to have a length sufficiently in excess of that of the piece or section of hose into which they are incorporated to permit them to accommodate themselves easily and without danger of breaking to the bending of the hose, as well as its elongation, which occurs when it is in service. For this purpose we prefer to crimp the wires in conforming curves, as indicated, so that they will nest compactly This particular feature, however,
Hose thus made is old.
is not here claimed, inasmuch as we have made itin part the subjeetof our application, Serial No. 736,427, above named. The sleeve, with its contained erimped or bent wires, is incorporated into the hose by introducing it between the outer and inner fabric jackets A and 13. In order to assure it in place, it can, if desired, be cemented to either the outer or inner jacket, or to both of them.
The sleeve may have no cement or other adhesive material on its inside, in which event the wires a Z) will be left free within the sleeve, thus permitting them when incorporated into the hose a certain freedom of movement within the limits permitted by the sleeve, which may be found of advantage under some circumstances. This modification is illustrated in Figs. 3 and 4. lVe have hereinbefore indicated that the sleeve and its contained wires may be interposed between any two of the plies, including the rubber lining, which for present purposes may be taken and considered as one of the plies. Fig. 3 shows the wires and their inelosing sleeve interposed between the rubber lining O and the fabric body of the hose. l/Vhen thus located, the sleeve need not be preliminarily cured, but can be vulcanized by and during the operation of vuleanizing the lininginto place, this operation, as is well known, consisting in introd ucing the rubber lining (which previously has been partially cured) into the hose and then expanding it by steam into close communication with the body of the hose, the heat of the steam also serving to vulcanize the lininginto place. The sleeve and its contained wires, prepared as already described, can be cemented to the exterior of the rubber lining prior to its introduction into the hose, and it (the sleeve) will be vulcanized and cured byand duringthe operation of expanding and vulcanizing the rubber lining and will, in effect, be incorporated in the lining. This particular feature, however, is not here claimed, but forms, in part, the subjectnnat ter of our application, Serial. No. 736,427, above named.
\Ve do not restrict ourselves to any particular form or manner of crimping or bending the electrical conductors or line-wires, what is essential being that these wires should be sulliciently longer than the hose in which they are incorporated to furnish the slack needed to permit the bending of the hose and its elongation or stretching when in service without breaking or injuring the wire.
Having described our invention and the best way now known to us of carrying the same into ei'fect,what we claim herein as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is as follows:
1. In combination with a multiply hose, a pliable sleeve extending lengthwise of and interposed and held between two contiguous plies of said hose, and electrical conductors or line-wires in crimped or bent form contained in and inclosed by saidsleeve, suhstantially as and for the purposes hereinbcfore set forth.
2. In combination with a multiply hose, a pliable sleeve extending lengthwise of and interposed and held between two contiguous plies of said hose and electrical conductors or line-Wires in crimped or bent form inclosed by and loosely contained in said sleeve, substantially as and for the purposeshereinbefore set forth.
In testimony whereof we have hereunto set our hands this 14th day of November, 1899.
WILLIAM Ilnnnr Snurono, IGNATIUS JUDGE.

Microsoft's Bing now supports emoji
Microsoft's search engine Bing announced support for emoji.
Bing (formerly Live Search, Windows Live Search, and MSN Search) is a web search engine (advertised as a "decision engine") from Microsoft. Bing was unveiled by Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer on May 28, 2009 at the All Things Digital conference in San Diego. It went fully online on June 3, 2009, with a preview version released on June 1, 2009.
Notable changes include the listing of search suggestions as queries are entered and a list of related searches (called "Explore pane") based on semantic technology from Powerset that Microsoft purchased in 2008.
On July 29, 2009, Microsoft and Yahoo! announced a deal in which Bing would power Yahoo! Search. All Yahoo! Search global customers and partners are expected to have made the transition by early 2012.
In October 2011, Bing announced it was working on new back-end search infrastructure, with the goal of delivering faster and slightly more relevant search results for users. Known as "Tiger," the new index-serving technology has been...

Microsoft will play host to thousands of developers, partners and press at its annual Build conference this week. The company and newbie CEO Satya Nadella have a lot on the agenda, covering everything from Windows to Office to devices. Didn't we just do this? Build 2014 comes just nine months after the previous one, and that conference -- which saw a change of venue from Redmond, Wash., to San Francisco -- was a mere nine months after Build 2012.
Want to get an advance look at what Microsoft has cooking in the first big update to Windows 8.1? You're in luck: The update is now available online, but not from Microsoft. Several file locker sites now host the Windows 8.1 Update 1, thanks to an apparently accidental leak from Microsoft's servers. The company put the update on its public Windows Update servers so company employees could get the update, but it kept outsiders in the dark by labeling the files with non-obvious file names.
Bing launched three news Windows Phone 8 apps Tuesday: Bing Food and Drink, Bing Health and Fitness, and Bing Travel. In addition to the new apps, Microsoft's search engine updated its existing Windows Phone 8 apps, and announced that all Bing apps will now sync across Windows 8 devices.
UPDATE, Feb. 12, 9:02 a.m. :. After an investigation into GreatFire's claims, Microsoft said they don't apply "China's legal requirements to searches conducted outside of China." "Due to an error in our system, we triggered an incorrect results removal notification for some searches noted in the report but the results themselves are and were unaltered outside of China," said Stefan Weitz, Bing's Senior Director, in an email statement to Mashable.
Microsoft is investing $15 million in Foursquare as part of a licensing deal that will incorporate the the location-based service's data into Microsoft's web and mobile platforms. The four-year deal, announced Tuesday, makes Microsoft the largest licensee of Foursquare data.

He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize at the age of 35.
There have been some memorable Halloween-themed Google Doodles in the past, but today, Bing wins for best dressed homepage.
Bing is making sure that you never, ever miss an ad again. Microsoft's search engine is offering advertisers "Hero Ads," or full-page ads, which come up when a user searches a specific company by name, according to Larry Kim, the chief technology officer of search marketing company Wordstream. If you search for "Home Depot," "RadioShack" or "Walt Disney World" on Bing, for example, you might come face-to-face with a monster-sized, full-screen advertisement.
Bing is taking its fight with Google to the UK with a Pepsi Challenge-style test in which consumers bet their sweaters that Google is better. As this video shows, they frequently lose their jumpers as Bing's apparent superiority is demonstrated. See also: Microsoft Reveals New Abstract Bing Logo The premise: An affable interviewer asks people on the street what their favorite search engine is.
Microsoft and Klout extended their partnership Friday with the introduction of new Klout-verified photos on Bing. Now when people search for you on Bing you can dictate what photo shows up in search results. You can also add links to your social media profiles, as well as your pubic personal summery on LinkedIn.
Welcome to this morning's edition of "First To Know," a series in which we keep you in the know on what's happening in the digital world. Today, we're looking at three particularly interesting stories. According to a report from AllThingsD, Twitter's next major app upgrade will focus on multimedia content and television. Microsoft revealed a new logo for its search engine, Bing, which falls in line with the company's branding.
Microsoft has updated Bing's logo to be tighter, more abstract and more in line with the company's branding. The overhaul, which includes a more abstract "B" and a switch to the Segoe font, was consciously designed to give Bing more of a visual association with its parent company. "We were heavily influenced by Swiss design with its grid layouts and strong typography, which you're seeing across the company," says Scott Erickson, senior director, brand and creative at Microsoft.
Microsoft's Bing Maps looks like it could be the next major secret-spiller making headlines. The Internet search engine's satellite-imaging service captured a stealth Russian fighter jet, which was previously thought to be ancient history. The airplane, known as the Mikoyan Project 1.44, was reportedly launched during the fall of the Soviet Union and was thought to be put to bed in 2001. SEE ALSO: Bing May Have Revealed Secret U.S.
Microsoft regularly introduces new features to its Bing search engine -- such as the coming 3D maps -- but often those features can't be used outside of Bing. That changes as of today with the launch of the Bing Platform for developers. Announced today at Microsoft's Build 2013 conference, the Bing Platform will let app developers create experiences in their apps around Bing's services.
If you like the Flyover feature in Apple Maps that lets you see a cityscape in 3D or Google Maps' similar graphics, that same functionality is coming to the Bing Maps app in Windows 8.1. The Maps app in Windows 8, powered by Bing, will get 3D imagery when it becomes available in the fall, Microsoft corporate vice president Gurdeep Singh Pall announced at the company's Build 2013 conference on Wednesday.
It was one of those blink-and-you-miss-it moments. In Monday's WWDC keynote, Apple executive Eddy Cue was running through the new iOS 7 version of Siri, when he happened to mention Siri's default search function would be powered by Bing, not Google. That means the first default search engine on Apple's voice assistant, baked into 600 million iPhones, will be brought to you by Microsoft.
When Marc Okrand graduated with a degree in linguistics decades ago, he never suspected he would create a language of his own: Klingon.
Microsoft's Bing search engine just got even more inventive, creating a strange new world where no web geek has gone before. To take a unique trip, simply type "beam me up" in the Bing search engine, and see what happens. Once you've been beamed up, click on any of the designated hotspots. You'll hear realistic Starfleet-regulation sound effects as you're transported to a variety of locations throughout the universe.
It's time to brush up on your Klingon, Star Trek fans. Search engine Bing has just added the official language of the series to its language translator.
Interacting with your friends on Facebook just got a lot easier -- If you're a Bing user, that is. Starting Friday, Bing will show comments from Facebook relevant to your search in the sidebar. From that search, you can Like a friend's post, comment, or see the original post in its entirety on Facebook.
According to Klout, I'm pretty influential about technology. I'm also a big influencer when it comes to Facebook, social media and, my personal favorite, beer. Besides bragging rights and the occasional perk, being an influencer on a topic on Klout hasn't really translated into much outside of the service ... until now.
Now your Instagram photos will play a role in your Klout score. Klout has allowed users to connect their Instagram account to Klout for some time, however, those photos did not play a role in a person's overall score. Now those photos will influence your score, and your most popular pictures will appear in the Klout Moments section of your Klout profile. In addition, Klout announced Thursday that it has made Bing a Klout partner.
There's no doubt that Google is the world's most popular search engine, but are you using it to its full potential? These three hilarious comics from Toothpaste For Dinner might be able to help.
Using smartphone microphones, the crowdsourcing tool could deduce the current atmosphere at bars and eateries.
Want to take a look at the depths of the ocean without leaving your chair? Now you can with Bing Maps.
Whoever says Google search is better than Bing has never tried tracking down a secret American drone base in the desert sands of Saudi Arabia. Microsoft's Bing Maps shows what may very well be the United States' until-recently secret drone base in Saudi Arabia. Google Maps, on the other hand, has squat in the same territory. The exact location and images of what may be the drone base were first discovered by Wired's Noah Shactman.
Graph Search could be the most important service update for consumers and businesses since the social network launched in 2004.

As a hurricane approaches land, residents who live in its path depend on the media to broadcast vital information about the storm.
The Federal Communications Commission is now investigating a local radio station for allegedly interfering with another local station during Hurricane Dennis.
It all started back in Jul, when an engineer for WPAP was driving around and noticed his signal was being jammed. He went to the station, got a device which tracked down the signal, and found out it was coming from rival station WAKT.
The engineer went into WAKT with a sheriff's deputy who proceeded to turn off a device called an exciter, basically a small transmitter, which was jamming the signal.
What makes this story more disturbing is that WPAP is the local emergency access radio station, which means in situations such as Dennis, they're suppose to be broadcasting the latest information to help save your life.
But they were unable to do so because their signal was jammed.
Newschannel 7 spoke to Double "O" Radio, owners of WAKT, and they refused to comment on the situation, but if the FCC says it was intentional, no one knows what penalty WAKT may face, because this is pretty unprecedented. It could be anywhere from a slap on the wrist to losing their broadcasting license.
WAKT has 30 days to respond to the charges from the FCC and turn over all information to the investigation.

GeForce GTX 670 review -
Product Showcase
Product Showcase
Alright, here we have the NVIDIA reference GeForce GTX 670. Overall a good dark looking card. Let's look at the card from several different viewpoints. The GTX 670 card is quite good looking with the black colored monitor connectors and an updated cooler.
The card is equipped with the GK104 GPU that harbors the new Kepler architecture we just spoke about. You get the basics like the graphics card, PEG converter cables, manual and a demo and driver CD, though bundles will vary with AIB/AIC partners.
The GeForce GTX 670 will come with two GB of graphics memory, that's definitely enough if you are a hardcore gamer with a monitor resolution of 1920x1200. If you plan to game on triple monitors with SLI etc, 4 GB models should become an option as well.
The base clock speed of the GeForce GTX 670 is 915MHz. The typical Boost Clock speed is 980MHz. The Boost Clock speed is based on the average GeForce GTX 670 card running a wide variety of games and applications. That Boost clock will vary from game-to-game depending on certain power conditions.
The card is PCIe gen 3.0 compatible. Going from PCIe Gen 2 to Gen 3 doubles the bandwidth available to the add-on cards installed, from 500 MB/s per lane to 1 GB/s per lane.
GALAX is on it again, this time we review their GeForce GTX 970 EXOC edition as in Extreme Overclocked. The product comes factory overclocked with a boost clock of 1317 MHz (!). The product has a cust...

Re: Furries
The Dead Nations wrote:
To be honest, I think people who have a fascination with anthropomorphic animals in risque situations are a bit messed up. You're basically getting turned on by an animal. It's not too far off from bestiality. As far as I'm concerned, it's in the same ballpark as people who are into shotacon and lolicon. You aren't
screwing around with animals (or children), but you seem to be turned on by the thought, and that does worry me.
Where did you acquire that information? What sources? There is far more to furry fandom than sexuality. In fact, being a furry is easy; all you have to do is express an interest in anthropomorphic animals or animals with human sentience. For example; Mickey mouse, Bugs Bunny, Sonic the Hedgehog.
What popularized the idea of furries and sex has much to do with a particular episode of CSI called "Fur and Loathing in Las Vegas". Like all such shows, things like that need to be taken with a huge grain of salt. They're not out for truth, they're out for ratings and controversy.
As for connections with children, it has been shown that a large number of pedophiles have also been Trek fans. Is there a connection? Apparently. Is it fair to the 99% of Trek fans who express no such interest in children? No, it isn't fair.
Bestiality? In what way? We're animals ourselves. We're a part of the species
homo sapiens
and are simply bipedal primates. What you're thinking of is an attraction to feral animals. Keep in mind, that (and I've said this before) we're on a Star Trek board where people have expressed interest in having sex with green skinned Orions, Klingons, Vulcans, Romulans, Trills, Andorians, and all manner of species. It has been said that "yes, but these are people in makeup", and so I say anthropomorphic animals are merely people in fur/feathers/scales. The sentience is there, unlike in bestiality where the animals is feral and non-sentient/self aware.

USC has released its first official depth chart of the season, six days in advance of the Aug. 30 season opener against Fresno State at the Coliseum.
Here's a look at the offense, with the defense and special teams to follow.
Of some note...
-- At receiver, George Farmer is listed opposite Nelson Agholor, with freshman Ajene Harris as the slot receiver. Entering fall camp, Darreus Rogers and Steven Mitchell were listed as the starters at tose positions.
-- With Tre Madden's status in doubt, Javorius Allen is listed as the starting tailback, with Justin Davis as the backup.
-- The offensive line, as expected, has two freshman starters (left guard Toa Lobendahn and right guard Damien Mama).
-- Walk-on Chris Willson beat out freshman Bryce Dixon to be the backup tight end behind Randall Telfer.
-- Talented freshmen Adoree' Jackson and Juju Smith are listed as No. 2 receivers.

ROSE Blog Interviews: FSF's Deborah Nicholson
ROSE Blog: Rikki's Open Source Exchange
Q: Who are you?
A: Deborah Nicholson, Membership Coordinator for the Free Software Foundation.
Q: What do you currently do in free software? What do you love about it?
A: I manage our membership program, so my job is focused on outreach. I love meeting people and talking to them about the projects they're excited about. I'm also organizing our upcoming summit to address women's participation in free software and how to improve it.
Q: You're speaking to a group of women from other fields who are considering switching careers. Why should they consider moving into an free software-related career? What should they know about the free software environment to prepare them for the transition from a different field?
A: What's great about free software as a career is the people; knowledge is available in a peer-to-peer way. The free software community is very distributed so there are lots of niches and multiple "right" answers to most questions. There may be friendly competition, but most of the time I feel like we're all on the same team.
Q: You're speaking to a group of high school students (male and female). Why should they consider exploring career options in free software?
A: If you only learn proprietary software, then you're locked in to supporting companies that don't value your freedom or anyone else's. Freedom is one of those things that you'll definitely miss when it's gone – ask anyone who's lived in Burma or blogged in China or spent time in prison. Learn free software and you'll be part of a movement and a professional community that cares what kind of world we all live in.
Q: What question do you wish I'd asked? And how would you answer it?
A: How can I get involved in the discussion about women in free software?
Sign up for the Free Software Supporter and follow the group !womeninfreesoftware on identi.ca – we'll be posting news in both places.
If you are a woman in open source, I'd love it if you'd take a moment to answer these interview questions and send your responses to me at rkite AT linuxpromagazine DOT com. (Otherwise, I'll try to track you down at an event or online!) If you'd like me to interview a particular woman in open source, drop me a line and let me know who she is and where to find her.

Dead weekPosted Monday, March 21, 2011, at 2:45 PM
I've never liked spring break very well.
When I was a kid I loved the week off, but I always resented the jerks headed off to tropical or sub-tropical locations. My parents' idea of a good spring break location was the Smokies or the Ozarks.
Thanks a lot, guys.
(As an adult, I look back and realize Florida is overrated, except for Key West, and that I absolutely love the mountains. But I didn't feel that way then.)
Then there was college. I was always too poor to plan on going anywhere, so I'd just stay here in the cold early spring weather of Indiana and even the occasional late snowstorm. Those were fun times.
The only exception came my senior year, when I took a class trip to England. It was awesome, I won't deny that, but I now regret that I didn't spend a whole semester or year abroad.
After graduation, spring break became entirely meaningless. So kids and school employees get a week off? Big deal. I'm neither of those things.
It's been in my years in the newspaper business, though, that a special hatred has been reserved for this wretched week. Now, not only do I have to listen to stories of those headed to Fort Myers or Panama City or some other cookie-cutter Florida locale, I now have to be part of a team putting together a paper in a ghost town.
I'm not exaggerating when I say that things almost come to a standstill when a school break (besides summer) comes along. There's nothing to cover at the schools and nearly all of DePauw's 2,000-plus students are nowhere to be found.
It's like a ghost town.
But don't worry, soon enough graduation weekend and then fair week will be here, and I'll be complaining about having too much to do.
It's feast or famine in this line of work.

[Show most recent comments first]
So why not go out and interview a lot of the non-profits and see what they really do for the community--and then do a series of write-ups on them? They certainly don't get the week off! It's always been my opinion that those who say there's nothing to do just aren't looking hard enough.

Go to your nearest paperback rack, and odds are, you'll see two or three, or four, or — well, a lot of books by Debbie Macomber, an author The Sacramento Bee has dubbed "the reigning queen of women's fiction."
Macomber has 170 million books in print; the newest, Rose Harbor in Bloom, has just been released. Her publisher, Random House, celebrated Macomber's selling power earlier this month with a fan retreat at the Gaylord Opryland resort in Nashville, where 400 women gathered for a weekend of tea, knitting and literary friendship.

North Korea has agreed to talks with the South to resume cross-border reunions of families separated for decades by the most militarized border in the world.
On Sunday, a spokesman for the Pyongyang's Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea, said it had agreed to talks, hosted by the Red Cross, that are to take place on Sept. 19 at North Korea's Diamond Mountain resort.
In the past, temporary thaws in bilateral relations have allowed some families separated by the 1950-53 Korean War to meet briefly at the border.

The Metropolitan Police would not say what the information entailed or where it came from, but that it was "not a re-investigation" of the case.

Samantha Shannon is being touted as the new J. K. Rowling. She's 21, a fresh graduate of Oxford, where she was a student when she wrote The Bone Season, the first in a projected seven-novel urban fantasy series. She's got a film deal with the new London studio set up by Andy Serkis of Lord of the Rings fame, and she's been courting booksellers, book reviewers, and fantasy fans for more than a year.
It's tricky when a book arrives with such preliminary brouhaha. I've learned to scrub my mind of hype and leave it to the text. The proof is in the reading.

This is WEEKEND EDITION from NPR News. I'm Rachel Martin.
Last week, the Justice Department put the breaks on a deal that could create the world's largest airline. The government has blocked a proposed merger between American Airlines and US Airways with a lawsuit. The action elicited some surprise because the airline industry has had a major run of mergers in recent years.
This is WEEKEND EDITION from NPR News. I'm Rachel Martin. At least 800 people have been killed in Egypt since the ouster of President Mohamed Morsi last month and the subsequent protests launched by his supporters. Yesterday, a Cairo mosque was the scene of a struggle between police and soldiers and Morsi supporters who had taken shelter there.
On-air challenge: You're given two words starting with the letter S. For each pair, give a third word — also starting with S — that can follow the first one and precede the second one, in each case to complete a compound word or a familiar two-word phrase.
Last week's challenge: A logic puzzle: "Nieces and nephews have I none, but that man's father is my father's son." What is the gender of the speaker? And who is the speaker referring to?
Answer: Male, the speaker is referring to his own son.

Can there be any experience more kaleidoscopic in its emotions, more full of hopes and fears and just plain confusions, than that of coming to America? I'm no expert, certainly — but my research on immigration for my recent novel, as well as my own family history, points to a process of continual surprises, endless adjustments, and, at times, exhausting isolation. Old habits crash up against new ideas; the desire for a "clean slate" is betrayed by the inevitable baggage of a former life.

The raucous comedy Austenland, in theaters this week, pokes fun at Americans' reverence for what they have been taught to see as a gracious British heritage — muslin, bonnets, tea time at the stately home with the blue-bloods, good manners.
As well it might. For most of the English 99-percenters I grew up with, heritage meant feet up in front of the telly, watching Top of the Pops.

Japanese painter and sculptor Ushio Shinohara was the bad boy of the avant-garde when he came to the U.S. more than 50 years ago. He knew Andy Warhol, hung with Red Grooms and polarized audiences with his vivid work.
And Ushio met his wife, Noriko Shinohara, not long after arriving here. She's an artist, too, but she's spent most of her career living in his shadow.
Less so recently, though. Noriko is coming into her own. And now the story of their life together is the subject of an intimate new documentary called Cutie and the Boxer.

The Obama administration is in a difficult situation with its Egypt policy.
President Obama, who often talks about free speech and human rights, has cancelled joint military exercises with Egypt but has stopped short of cutting off aid to the Egyptian military. As the violence continues in the streets of Cairo and other Egyptian cities, all sides seem unhappy with the U.S. approach.
In 2009, on his first trip to the Middle East as president, in the same year he won the Nobel Peace Prize, Obama spoke of a new approach to relations with the Islamic world.
