I just started reading your blog a few months ago when I got here from the Daily Dish. I've really enjoyed your thoughtful posts. I look forward to your return, but in the meantime have a wonderful, well-deserved break.

Hey Freddie,
Just a note to say that I'm glad you're taking some time off (I could probably use the same) and that I miss you're always insightful, if somewhat edgy, commentary. You occupy a particular and useful space in the old blogosphere.

LAS VEGAS, NEV. (Feb. 3) - The New Mexico State men's tennis team fell for the second straight dual with a 4-2 result to the Southern Miss Golden Eagles. The Aggies are now 3-3 on the season.
The Aggies slipped at the first two spots of doubles play, giving the point to the Golden Eagles. The third doubles match was left unfinished after Southern Miss claimed the first two matches 81 and 8-5, respectively.
"It was a slow start for us on doubles and that cost us the point," head coach Carlos Vargas said. "In singles, it was a battle at most of the positions. It just goes to show that we still have room for improvement."
With singles play ongoing, senior Luis Ramirez claimed his first win of the weekend in straight sets. Claiming the top singles point 6-3, 6-3, Ramirez helped the Aggies to their two points on the day.
The other Aggies point came from junior Marc Westgate in three tough sets. The Loughborough, England native battled in the first set 6-7, but Ben Feldmann was able to claim the next two sets 6-3, 6-1.
The Aggies faltered at the second, fifth and sixth spot, giving the win to Southern Miss.
The Aggies waste little time before getting back in action versus UT-Pan American on Feb. 9. The Aggies then open conference play against UTSA on Feb. 10. Both matches are set for 10 a.m. in San Antonio, Texas.

I have to confess that I took my mum for granted. Don't we all?
And then she went and died. Would that we could turn back the clock.
If we could, then today I would be in full-on craft mode. I would be fashioning my mother some kind of elaborate, daffodil-laden, cardboard-and-sticky-back-plastic creation for Mother's Day.
Inside it, I would write messages of love and appreciation for her softness, warmth and humour.
I would wake her on Sunday with a dive on her bed (let's, for the sake of argument, assume I have retained my child-like form so as not to crush the poor woman) and a wet kiss. We would eat bacon sandwiches together and I would bring her tea on a tray with a flower from the garden.
So why the heck didn't I do this 30 years ago before it was too late?
The irony of youth = the irony of motherhood. It's not technically a mathematical equation, but consider this. When you are a child, you have no real interest in anything but yourself, in the here and now, and so you do not stop to savour the things which are transient and will be lost. When you are a mother, the times you treasure the most and long for are these same days, when your child is small and has absolutely no appreciation of what you actually do for them, or the depth of the love which you feel for them. A cruel fate, methinks.
And so I look at Mother's Day with fresh eyes these days. I have two children of my own now, growing quickly, and I try to breathe them in every day. We laugh and hug a lot. These are the memories of softness and warmth I want them to recall when I am gone.
And just in case they are one day interested, I track our day to day adventures on the http://www.SaveEveryStep digital scrapbook. We each have our own timeline, and the boys' growth, development and antics are all recorded in chronological order for them to appreciate at a later date – the gift of their lifetime on a timeline!
There are some things which I throw away – old bills, clothes which the boys have grown out of, old birthday cards etc. But there is one thing I always keep, and always will. My Mother's Day hand made presents from my little men.
Have a fabulous Mothering Sunday. Cherish every moment for your clan at http://www.SaveEveryStep.com, for free.
Life's a Journey, SaveEveryStep!

just voted. iphone 5!! :))
IPHONE 5 is the ios product of the year,i would very much like to win it
Gotta go for an Ipad 4. That would be the best in the world.
I feel more proud to have voted in this poll than in our recent presidential election. That's worth an iPad mini, right?
I know the chances of winning are slim, but every vote counts. Whether it be for your favorite blog site, or a presidential election, it still matters. What it important is that your voice is heard.
The mini is better than I ever expected! That is my choice for my first iPad.
The best device (of tons) was announced at WWDC and that was the new macbook pro "retina". I have one, it's great!
The best news was on how reporters got hold of the Mountain Lion story all the way back in February. And it was great cause no one was suspecting it and the hit story was the iPad 3.
The best app announced was Angry Birds star wars!
And the best accessory for 2012 was the Big JAMBOX. oh yeah.
Voted iPhone 5
Just answered the Survey. It was fun! And it was a year in Technology! I hope the coming year is more fun and entertaining stuff to come! good luck! ;)
Ipad mini, small, but everything i expect from a ipad. Woud like to win one. Good Luck to everyone. :)
Well I love the iPad mini excellent competition for the Nexus 7 and 10 .Perfect size and weight. Really helps when your trying to relax and read on the bed and not feel like your lifting a medical journal
Please don't give me an Apple store gift card! The choices would be too difficult!
An iPad mini? A new iPhone 5? An Apple TV and an Airport Extreme? A Mac Mini to replace my aging PC?

Microsoft goes gunning for Gmail with Outlook.com web-based email service
Microsoft has announced Outlook.com, a free, web-based email service that clearly has its sites set on Google's hugely popular Gmail service. Of course, Microsoft already has Hotmail, who's very name meant HTML mail (HoTMail), and live.com, but they've never been shy about multiple, seemingly redundant offerings. But this seems different. Rather than doubling up, Outlook.com seems to be a new layer -- a way to offer something new without forcing old users to just take it. According to the Office blog:
We think the time is right to reimagine email. So today, we're introducing a preview of Outlook.com. We realized that we needed to take a bold step, break from the past and build you a brand new service from the ground up. You already know Outlook via the Outlook desktop application-for PCs and Macs-as the world's most popular application for reading email, managing a calendar, and connecting to people. And you may have used the Outlook Web App connected to Exchange Server in your organization. Now, in addition to a desktop application and a service for businesses, we're offering Outlook as a personal email service - Outlook.com.
Microsoft is competing based on a few key features -- clean, informational dense, Metro-inspired design, social connectivity with Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google, (with Skype to follow), Office web-app integration, NO ADS, and, of course, and easy way to move your existing mail over, should you choose to do so. And they'll even give you 7GB of SkyDrive storage for your attachment pleasure.
I've been trying it out for most of the day and it certainly is clean and Metro-esque, though more in the way Office 2013 is Metro-esque than Windows Phone is -- existing paradigms with flat color and lots of white space. Still, with frequent Google and Gmail mentions, and a couple YouTube embeds (see below), Microsoft is certainly being open and embracing.
That's smart.
If you want to try it out, head on over to Outlook.com and sign in with your existing Microsoft account, or create a new email address. (Act quickly if you're using the latter option -- screen names go fast!).
If you want to set it up on your iPhone or iPad, simply jump into Settings, Mail, Hotmail, and add your Outlook.com email address and password, and you're good to go.
Based on my experience so far, Outlook.com is really solid. I won't be abandoning iCloud or Gmail any time soon. How about you?

Microsoft goes gunning for Gmail with Outlook.com web-based email service
Yea I have that issue too. I tried to find and answer, but no luck. One thing I read was that you had to be on windows 7 or 8 (I'm still using vista), but I can't imagine that's right since its web based. Another said something about cookies/cache messing it up of you have a university based email through exchange...I was too lazy to clean anything up to see if it worked haha.
The clean look is long overdue and I appreciate the ad-free email. But really, it's too little too late. I've moved on and graduated to a private email address. And gmail is possibly the best example of abusing user's private information and data. If only the fandroid sheep would wake up.

It may be hard to see from this photo, but it is a bit big. Big in a boxy sort of way. I wore it around the house like this and the look grew on me. I was thinking that perhaps I liked it. Perhaps I liked it big and boxy. Perhaps I needed a big and boxy sweater. I decided to pack it in my suitcase and ask my mother for her advice.
And so that is what I did. My mother was right. (Again.) That sweater is meant to be on the fitted side. I'll be much happier in the end. And with my mother by my side, a beer in my hand, sitting on the beach, it took the sting out of it a little. (A whole lot.)

text: Eat, Love Eyeshadow ($15.00 for 0.05 oz.) is described as a "deep emerald [with a Satin finish]." It's a deep, blackened green with faint emerald green sparkles–it is more like a green-tinted black with brownish undertones. On the lid, it tends to look more like a matte finish, as the satin is very subtle. It had good color payoff, and the texture was only slightly dry. Fyrinnae Jaguar is bluer. Urban Decay Loaded is also bluer. MAC Dark Indulgence is greener. OCC Poison is lighter. Make Up For Ever #80 is lighter, greener. Bobbi Brown Forest is lighter, cream. See comparison swatches.

The SOAP search API allowed you to obtain search results and integrate them into your applications. You could develop applications like Google Share that measures the popularity of an item within a domain (for example: Bono's Google Share for U2 is 54.6%), create a meta-search engine by mixing different APIs and more.
Now Google suggests using Ajax Search API, but this is very limited, it's suitable only for web applications, you can't reorder the search results or add other search results. Google also says: "AJAX Search API is the only permissible way to publish Google AJAX Search API results on your site. We'll block your application if it accesses search results outside of the API."
Applications that already use the SOAP API can continue do that, but the service could become unreliable.
O'Reilly Radar says: "The AJAX Search API is great for web applications and users that want to bling their blog, but does not provide the flexibility of the SOAP API. I am surprised that it has not been replaced with a GData API instead."
Nelson Minar, who authored the API, has an explanation: "It seems like good discipline to me; when your corporate culture has a "go fast, do a lot of things, fail often" approach to product development, you have to do something with the things that succeeded in launching but then failed to make a big impact on the business."
Google Search API has been launched in April 2002, one week before Google Answers, that was also discontinued.

Last week a British bank was accused by a New York regulator of scheming with Iran, and leaving the U.S. financial system vulnerable to terrorists and weapons dealers. Today the bank agreed to pay $340 million to get those allegations dropped.
What happened? Why did the New York Department of Financial Services (DFS) say Standard Chartered engaged in money laundering involving $250 billion in transactions with one of the America's enemies then let it off with a measly $340 million settlement?
Last week, Benjamin Lawsky, the superintendent of the DFS threatened to revoke a banking license that would prevent Standard Chartered from doing business in New York. Today his office says a $340 million fine and the installation of a monitor at the bank will suffice.
"Standard Chartered got off easy. It should have been banned from doing business in the US. The fine was negligible. Although the monitor is helpful in preventing future non-compliance, what worse violation could there possibly be than what occurred?" says banking attorney Michael Horn.
In other words, it doesn't get much worse in banking than what Standard Chartered was being accused of so then why was the charter was not revoked. "If you're not going to revoke a bank charter for engaging in money laundering then why even have power to revoke these licenses in the first place?" Horn adds.
The DFS would not comment on the matter but a person close to the settlement says that the there's no suggestion of Standard Chartered continuing to engage in the dealings with Iran. "It would be a different story if Standard Chartered was still engaging in this activity," the person says.
Here are the terms of the settlement:
- The Bank shall pay a civil penalty of $340 million to the New York State Department of Financial Services.
- The Bank shall install a monitor for a term of at least two years who will report directly to DFS and who will evaluate the money-laundering risk controls in the New York branch and implementation of appropriate corrective measures. In addition, DFS examiners shall be placed on site at the Bank.
- The Bank shall permanently install personnel within its New York branch to oversee and audit any offshore money-laundering due diligence and monitoring undertaken by the Bank.
Here's the real kicker in the settlement. The DFS notes that both it and Standard Chartered agree that "the conduct at issue involved transactions of at least $250 billion."
Here's why that is important.

Is there any information on it?
Is there any information on it?
Solid info? Not yet, McCallum hints at stuff all the time, like timeframe and characters (suggested Boba Fett but didn't SAY it). The only things they've said outright is that it'll take place somewhere between Eps 3 and 4, it won't focus on main characters, and won't air until at least 2008.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
"In Brooklyn, a castle, is where dwell I"
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
I don't expect to hear any solid info until later this year or at the rumored CIV.
Up, up, and OKAAAAY!!!

A bit of background for newcomers
Joe (aka 'Mac' to his RAF comrades) was my Uncle, but we never met. His precious letters have come into my possession some near-70 years after they were written. It is my honour to transcribe them, and the poignancy of hindsight about what happened to Joe makes this all the more difficult to write, but all the more important that I do. One letter will be posted to this Blog each and every Friday until they are done.
Please see below for a link to Joe's full story and the other letters in this series so far.
In this letter, Joe is now stationed at Stranraer in Scotland, some 5 months in to his RAF experiences. His Air Gunnery School training (phase 4 of his training) has commenced and he has finally got up in the air….
Letter 37 – 23rd May 1944
"The same dump.
Dear Mom and kids,
I got your letter (of Sunday afternoon) today and I'm answering the other one of yours now while I have the time and at last a pen that writes!
Well the exams are over and I have been told that I've passed although I don't get my stripes and beret til about Friday. I did very well in the Sighting exam which came as a surprise to me! I also did well in Aircraft Recognition but I have known nearly all the aircraft we learn for years as you know and as I am interested in the subject it comes easy to me.
I came third in Aircraft Range Estimation and that was quite a shock in its own as I thought I was all hell of a duffer on it. On Ballistics I didn't do too bad but on Pyro's I didn't do so good either!!
Guns and gun maintenance went off pretty fair and so did my hydraulics and turrets. I shan't know my exact percentage til tomorrow and as you can imagine I'm all on edge!
I guess my writing isn't up to much cos I'm sitting in a daft position but I think you will be able to decipher it! By the way Joe Lee has got through ok too. Actually we took 'Boards' in 11 subjects but I can tell you more about those soon. Yes I HOPE to be home on Saturday 27th morning around 8 or 9am. I mean THIS Saturday!
If you see Buster tell him not to be too anxious about joining up because an AGS course is NOT a piece of cake the same as it used to be in the old days!! That is real 'gen', it will have taken me about 22 weeks to pass as an AG and I haven't finished training yet by a long stretch! The whole of this course now is damned hard and I'm not kidding. There's a lot of difference in 12 and 22 weeks as the course USED to last. Still I guess he's clever.
By the way you must have misunderstood my other letter 'cos I can't remember having trie 'palm' Marie off on to Joe Lee?! I don't intend to!
Had a letter from Bert Thomas a day or so ago, I suppose you know about his accident. It surprised me.
I went to see the 'Keeper of the Flame' last night and have just come back from seeing 'My Friend Flicka'. I thought they were a couple of good pictures myself!
My teeth by the way have been 'finished with' as the dentist said and that is a relief anyway!!
Guess I haven't much more to say so til I come home Sat: cheerio and God bless.
Love Joe xxxx
P.S. I'm no writer!
Eggs & bacon?!"
The pictures here show Air Gunners training with clay pigeons in grounded turrets, and the 'drogue' that would have been used for mid-air target practice. Once grounded, the drogue was examined for bullet holes.
Joe seems more than a little relieved and surprised to have passed his exams! How handsome he would look with his new stripes. These intensive training courses must have been incredibly hard work, and yet these boys who made it to Sergeant during wartime had their stripes removed shortly after peace was returned.
To read more about Joe's letters please follow this link. There you will find the full selection of letters to date, as well as more information about his beautiful and tragic story.
He was our family hero. He IS our family hero. If I knew how to complete an effective RAF salute, I would salute you now, Joe. Long may your memory live in our family stories. I hope to post a new letter from Joe's correspondence with his Mother here every Friday until they're done. It will be a turbulent and heart-wrenching journey. Subscribe to the Blog to make sure you don't miss any of it.

The Belt Sword
Last night (which was this morning for you residing on the more refined side of the pacific), my girlfriend sent me this link:
Finally, a product which can fulfill the fantasy which was begun when Phil Elmore wrote Street Sword. That day, long dreamed of, where you unleash your inner samurai skills on a savage gang full of Warriors rejects who's only goal in life is your personal detriment... now that day is night.
I think I shall be ordering one post haste, presuming I can't find one here in China on a shelf in another art and camping gear store.
I thought you might. I know how you love your armaments.
I'm very curious as to how quickly one can draw a belt sword. Being able to go from "guy wearing a belt" to "guy wearing a belt, and also holding a sword" in 0.05 seconds seems like it could be useful in so many circumstances. Haggling, for instance, I feel would be made much easier if I could seemingly produce a sword from mid-air whilst negotiating a price.
Well the thread you posted has the guy saying that it can be deployed quicker then a concealed handgun. (carried on the hip)
This thing is real interesting because it's extra super concealable even in the form fitting clothes and there are times where I'm downtown at night and wish I could have my gun on me but don't have a good place to hide it except in my fanny pack...which is what people would want to steal and is a very very slow place to draw from. Or I think I might get patted down/searched at the door and need to leave my gun at home.
If I could whip out a 3 foot sword like a magic trick out of nowhere then I'd at least feel safer in shitty downtown atlanta on the occasions where lugging around my 92FS in a fanny pack is not going to fly.
I'm probably going to place an order in the next couple days.

I also kind of want one, even though downtown Ann Arbor is about as docile as cities get. It'd really be more for potential dramatic effect than anything. Like say I'm at a picnic, and someone needs to cut a watermelon. No need for a knife, just "KIAI!" and in a flash of steel the fruit is hewn in twain.

Strawberries great, service stumbles
By Bob
from St.Louis
Sister loved the chocolate strawberries, but "next day" delivery was actually over a week late. However, they were free, and that's certainly an acceptable apology.This glitch won't keep me from ordering in the future.
By ndgran
from college point, ny
Sent to my daughter for mother's Day. SHE LOVED IT! It arrived on May 10th as specified and I did call customer service about the nature of the product and they were very helpful and gave a glowing recommendation which made me feel good about my choice.

Getting your child to actually go outside to play and interact with other children is a big deal. A 2010 study by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that children ages 8-18 spend an average of 7 hours and 38 minutes a day using various media. With all of these distractions, how can parents pry their children away from the screen and ensure they will develop necessary social skills? For some tips and methods to help expose your child to cooperative play we sat down with early childhood specialist Melanie Turner:With so many children nowadays busy with texting, gaming, and watching TV, what are some techniques parents can use to get their children to unplug and go outside?
Parents need to remember that they are the parent. I would recommend restricting the amount of time they are able to watch TV, play on the computer, on the phone, video games and any other electronics. When they are participating in the above activities they should be closely supervised by a parent. I also would highly recommend having family meal times. When dining, make sure all electronics are off and engage them in conversation. Encourage your child to enjoy active play by sending them outside for certain amounts of time. If your child has certain interests encourage those interests. For example, if they like to ride bikes make sure they have access to a good bicycle and helmet. If your child likes to play soccer make sure there is a soccer ball around. If possible have items like hula hoops, side walk chalk or jump ropes around the house to provide a variety of things they can choose from. It is ideal if you can go out and participate as well. When a child sees that you are enjoying an activity they are 10 times more likely to enjoy it and participate. Do some messy activities outside. Encourage your children to use their imagination and don't be afraid to use yours!Especially with younger children, what are some ways parents can introduce their child to play?
There are so many ways! Young children are just beginning to explore their world. Children explore the world through their senses. Almost everything a child does when they are young is play and helps them to grow and gain knowledge of the world around them. You can start at very young age by playing peek-a-boo. Then as they grow provide things that appeal to their senses. Read books to them and make silly voices for all the characters in the story. Let them know it's ok to get messy by letting them play with play dough, bubbles, and shaving cream. Give them a cabinet in the kitchen that has pots and pans, plastic spoons and Tupperware that are just for them to play music or to just play. You are a key ingredient to your child's play. Provide an environment where it is safe for them to play.If a child is hesitant about playing with other children, what are some methods parents can use to remedy the situation?
There are a number of ways that parents can help their child deal with interactions with other children of which I will mention a few. One is make sure that you are providing opportunities for your child to interact with other children. Either through play groups, other neighborhood kids, church groups, one day or more of preschool a week, taking your child to places like the Orlando Science Center and/or enrolling them in classes like our Early Childhood Series. Also, make sure you are taking the time to play with them. Follow your child's lead when playing. Try not to correct or dominate the play but contribute to and advance the ideas, offer suggestions. Most importantly, remember to have fun!
Lastly, take a problem solving approach. If your child is having difficulty with someone in their peer group, a sibling or a friend, help them walk through the problem. You don't always have to have the answers. Help your child consider various solutions and perspectives. Ask leading questions and help your child consider the problem themselves. This way as your child continues to face new and different problems with people now, they will know how to better cope and come up with solutions as they get older.
