Home » Rib Roasts
The 109 rib, as the professional butchers call it, is the ideal muscle to age into a superlative "Rack" of Beef. Aging for thirty days concentrates the flavor, and combined with the beautiful marbling of the rib section, this roast is unforgettably delicious. Nothing is simpler than roasting a standing rib of beef for a spectacular dinner. Four ribs or seven, this beef is heaven!

This can be a cute wig, but unlike some I own, it needs a lot of fixing or styling when I put it on. It's rather a mess when first put on. After brushing and rearranging, it's not bad, a different look than I regularly wear. Doesn't really resemble the picture at all, and I bought 2 different colors! The lighter one is easier to fix and not as messy looking.

I loved the light auburn color of this wig, but never have I been able to make it look like the blonde color in the picture. The auburn color they show when I write the review looks like mine, but they advertise the blonde. Synthetic wigs are supposed to be something you don't have to spend a lot of time on, especially a style like this.

Great Style, Not "Wiggy"
By HoosierGal
from Indiana
About Me Beauty Conscious
Comments about Paula Young Anne Wig by Jaclyn Smith:
Have had many wigs through the years, Jaclyn Smith wigs are one of the best, i.e., contemporary styles, great dimension of colors in each color choice, lightweight and comfortable. They never look like a wig, only your natural hair with a great cut/style. They last and look better longer than others that have cost much more. This one might require a little more styling and usually having your stylist cut in a few layers/bangs to suit you personally is all that is needed. Only downside is dealing with the customer service at Paula Young, not the best I have encountered.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

love this wig!
By Cancer survivor and nurse
from Connecticut
Don't get to close to a hot oven or BBQ grill. I singed the bangs on my first wig in this style and have just ordered a second one. People are always shocked to hear it is a wig though. Very natural looking. I did have to have my hairdresser trim it to make it work on me but after that...great!

Nice wig, but not for beginners.
By lpu
from Bucks County, PA
This is not an out of the box style; the other reviewer who said you need to style this wasn't kidding. But, I got it to look more like the Jacklyn Smith photo than her photos indicated (she may have preferred a diffent look). I took a chance keeping it because I could not get it to look like the photo "out of the box." But, I decided to give it a try with styling and I am glad I did. Washed it first. Then used hot air brush (with very low heat; wrap your hand around the curl as you do it; when it gets too hot for your hand to be comfortable, turn off heat, wait to cool, and then release curl) to get the look of the photo. Made nice smooth soft waves, just as in the photo.

By Victorious over cancer
from branford, CT
I bought this,my 1st wig, because I am starting chemo next week. I took a guess at the color and loved how it looked on Jaclyn Smith. I didn't expect to love it as much as I do. I am especially amazed that the color match is near perfect! Can't beat the price either!

Great wig
By wig wearer
from midwest USA
Beautiful wig! The hair fiber has wonderful movement....just like real hair. This is a very realistic wig. The style isn't quite the same as what is pictured, but it is still a very cute style. Lots of wave & body, but doesn't look "wiggy". The color, Wildflower Honey, is gorgeous - probably THE best color in any wig brand I have tried (and I have been wearing wigs for 10 years!). I have tried most brands of wigs on the market, and Jaclyn Smith's color Wildflower Honey is amazing. This is a great shoulder length style!

I love the Jaclyn Smith wigs!
By biker girl
from Birmingham, Alabama
I own several Jaclyn Smith wigs and I have enjoyed them all. I wear wigs almost everyday due to alopecia. Now that I am going with my natural hair color, I only wish she offered some gray versions.

I love this wig!
By LindaH
from Emory, Texas
I wear wigs every day, and this is by far the most comfortable one I own. It's so light weight, you don't remember you're wearing a wig. I love the style, and it's so easy! I have naturally straight hair, so I'm used to straight hair wigs. My hair won't hardly hold waves or curls, so it's so nice to know I can put this one on and not have to worry about my curls/waves crashing after a few hours time like my own hair would do. I highly recommend this wig. It's so soft, feels so natural, and so far holds up well.

Learn Without Fear
Up to 1.5 billion children experience violence every year, many within school walls. Three of the most common and damaging forms of violence in schools are bullying, corporal punishment and sexual violence.
Plan International works in collaboration with children, parents, teachers and partners around the world to ensure every child has a safe school environment.
School-related violence undermines the power of education to unlock children's full potential. When we fail to take action to protect all schoolchildren from violence, we violate children's right to education in safe and supportive schools, and compromise their development and well-being.
Violence and education
Surveys show that between one-fifth (China) and two-thirds (Zambia) of children reported being victims of verbal or physical bullying*. Children who are bullied are 5 times more likely to be depressed than their peers and bullied girls are 8 times more likely to be suicidal.
Millions more children live in fear of being physically abused under the guise of discipline; more than 80% of students in some countries suffer corporal punishment at school*.
Corporal punishment, at its extreme, can lead to physical injury and even death. In the short term, corporal punishment is linked to poor learning outcomes and increased absenteeism.
Gender-based violence
Girls are especially vulnerable to rape, exploitation, coercion and discrimination by students and teachers. Worldwide, 62 million girls are missing out on an education. One of the major barriers they face is gender-based violence - sexual, physical and psychological.
A major focus of Plan's Because I am a Girl campaign is overcoming the barriers to girls' successful completion of a quality education.
Cruel and humiliating forms of psychological punishment, gender-based violence and bullying remain a daily reality for millions of children.
Join Plan's Because I am a Girl campaign
Read Plan's campaign, child protection and education publications.*Facts from Plan's A girl's right to learn without fear report
Case studies
Taking action on corporal punishment in India
In India corporal punishment is a common occurrence. Plan is supporting youth clubs where children learn about child rights.
Eliminating violence from our classrooms
Evidence shows that 7 out of 10 children in Asia have experienced violence in school, blogs Mark Pierce, Plan's Asia Regional Director.
Learn Without Fear: Three years on
Three years after the launch of Plan's global campaign against violence in schools, new laws and policies are in place to protect 485 million children from abuse.
Learn Without Fear cartoon
This unique animation was developed with the help of children living in communities where Plan works. It makes viewers think about what they would do when faced with school violence.

Thanks angelKat for this topic - it was so nice reading all of your responses, knowing others in my position so helps. I am definately not the person I was before Faith's death. I hope that I am better, I want to feel her short life had an incredible purpose. I know many people were touched my her and I cling to that for strength.
As time goes on, some days are really hard and some are a little better. Faith's due date and Mother's Day were hard and I know that the Christmas holidays will be very hard. We are going to TTC again in July and I am getting nervous. It is so weird, I have a feeling sort of like you Suzanna, I am praying for a boy. I have a son it seems like I will feel much more at ease with a pregnancy if the baby is a boy. I always wanted a girl, but now I am way to scared. I just pray that I am able to stay calm and take each day as it comes.
I wish you all peace as the anniversaries come and go.
AngelKat and Suzanna - Wishing you wonderful pregnancies and a wonderful baby in your arms.

A few days ago, I had an interesting conversation with a very excited GoGrid user. So much so, that he was working on getting all of his production websites migrated over to GoGrid, but only after he fully installed cPanel. Using cPanel, he said, would enable him to seamlessly migrate all of his clients' sites. He kept running into little tweaks that he needed to do here and there, but kept working on it, happy that he could so easily build up and rip down server instances with GoGrid. Eventually, he got it to work. His ultimate suggestion? Get an Operating System image with cPanel installed, or at a minimum, have a bare-bones install of CentOS so that cPanel could be installed easily.
As we continue to build out the GoGrid Operating System images (shortly to roll out some new ones), I thought that it would make sense to ask what Open Source software you might want to see in upcoming template releases.
My list of Open Source apps that I would want on Windows and/or Linux is growing and includes:
- WordPress
- Joomla!
- Bugzilla
- Trac
- Moodle
- Subversion (maybe with Trac)
- SugarCRM
- MediaWiki
- Webmin
- cPanel
- Alfresco
- Twiki
- Community Server
What about actual Operating Systems like Ubuntu or Debian?

They doubted her before she arrived, scorned her while she served and forgot about her after she left.
But the ancient Hudson River ferry Hackensack — which adopted the name Islander and sailed bravely if not always reliably between Woods Hole and Vineyard Haven for three years right after World War II — turns out to have been one of the most consequential vessels ever to steam between Martha's Vineyard and the mainland.
If you had walked the shoreline of the Vineyard between roughly 1870 and the middle 1930s — especially the muscular, rocky north shore from Lambert's Cove west to Gay Head — you would have seen something there's absolutely no sign of today: row after row of wooden stakes stretching up to 100 feet outward from the beach into Vineyard and Nantucket Sounds.

text: First there was a riot, a kind of street fight with the police. Killings led to a sit-in that led to power changing hands. No one took issue with the hangman's noose swinging symbolically at the maidan, though the riots were supposed to be silmiyyah. The killers never hanged in the end, and no one took issue with that. Only the rioters vowed to take revenge unless the courts hanged someone, but when the courts said not guilty it was all they could do to start a new fight. And in every new fight more rioters were killed. It became something of a national fetish to riot, and riots sprang up everywhere in the country, sometimes for no reason at all, often because no one was hanged.

Thursday, September 27, 2012
Opening your door to 1,000 visitors is a tremendous commitment. A dinner party for three couples has me making lists and planning for eons, much less contemplating 994 more guests. But I dont have to imagine what it takes to agree to have your house on one of Scrumptious Summervilles Kitchen Tours. I get to write up home descriptions for the tour brochure. This gives me an insight into the home owners style, dedication and prep work that must be done ahead of time. I wrote about these Real Housewives of Summerville a few years ago and the more I deal with them the more real they become.
The appellation is based on the television series about the lives of those described as relatively affluent bourgeois housewives and professional women in American suburban or urban areas. Its called a reality series. What is more real than the fact that many children are abused and neglected? Children in Crisis is the organization which oversees the treatment and servicing of these children and their families by the Dorchester Childrens Center. The Kitchen Tour is a main fund raiser to help support these efforts. And if it wasnt for real housewives there really wouldnt be any tours.
Thats just basic truth, said Marlena Myers, kitchen tour chair. Without the generosity of these homeowners we would never have been able to do what weve done! And what theyve done is remarkable. This 10th Kitchen Tour Year will see the group having grossed $1.2 million and helped 5,000 children, utilizing 3,000 volunteers with over 100,000 volunteer hours. Over the last few weeks Ive talked to ten of Summervilles finest volunteers, mostly wives and mothers who share a genuine love of our town and the desire to help vulnerable children.
These women are doing a lot more than just opening their doors for this tour. In the months since they agreed theirs would be host homes, they have been working with families to get things spruced up, including laying patio pavers, moving trellises, shinning up wavy glass windows, and touching up paint and trim inside and out. More than one has told me that whenever they think of the work, they think of the kids and get on with the work.
Youre going to see more than one scarlet dining room as this seems to be a color trend this year, several homes steeped in Summerville history and antiquity of style and furniture. Family pieces abound and many are put to unique uses. In another abode, Chinese antiques and accents reflect world travel. Youll also see a tobacco chair and a wine tasting table as well as delivery boxes from Summervilles famous upscale grocery the Tea Pot, which once served the fabulous Pine Forest Inn as well as local customers from its Town Hall locale. Youll visit a former slave cottage, with hand pegged ceilings which have withstood hurricanes and earthquakes.
Youll end up with some unique decorating ideas you might want to incorporate in your own homes (red walls, anyone?), contentment after a lovely and diverse afternoon and the satisfaction of knowing that you did something to help some of our most susceptible and youngest citizens.
This is the kind of thing REAL Summerville housewives still do!

Those stupid 5hr energy commercials! The most annoying is the guy that slugs it down and then sits down to read the paper!? That's what it's for? Really?
I agree that pharmaceutical ads are a little ridiculous... ugh the ones that really annoy me are the Viagra and Cialis ones.... viva viagra... poor Elvis...
Another that really annoys me lately is the one for mouthwash or toothpaste I can't remember which, and the couple makes the bet, the girl says "if I win you go to yoga with me" and the guy says "if I win, me n the boys are going to Vegas", and then he wins and does his little stupid dance and goes "Vegas!" Freakin' stupid! First off, where's the balance in that bet? A yoga class (quick, cheap, and most likely close to home) or a boys' weekend in Vegas (extremely costly, possibly detrimental to the relationship (seeing as how the girlfriend wouldn't be going... hmm bunch of jackasses in Vegas, drinking and wh*ring around?), and a couple of days versus one 45 minute yoga class). Every time I see this commercial I want to be the girlfriend in the ad just so I can punch that annoying dude in his face!
PS: Insipid, you should know that disagreeing with SK is strictly forbidden on the board. Ms. Mod has dispatched a Library Policeman to your house for your punishment. If that doesn't work, keep an eye out for stars and comets chalked on your sidewalk and fliers that say "Have you seen our friend SIPPIE? He is naughty but we love him. Phone KL5-2348 for a reward"
I think the worst TV ads are those which persist in being biased against a select group. I clearly remember, ages ago, commercials which portrayed women as idiotic. I never agreed. It took additional ages for minorities to appear in commercials. Now, imho, too many commercials depict men, especially (God help my political incorrectness) white ones, as idiotic. Ka is a wheel, but I don't think Ka had this in mind.
The toilet paper ad with the bears in the woods.
THIS!! ^^^^ x100
I'm not usre if it is UK only, but it's an advert about this 'opera' singer who pops up in serial locations, just to tell us to 'GO COMPARE'... by singing, rather loud. Wow, he is anoying...

Hull host Charlton; Watford make trip to Birmingham
Leaders Cardiff kick off Saturday's action in their lunchtime clash at home to Bristol City, with the high-fliers keen to stretch their eight-point advantage over second-placed Hull after they could only draw at Huddersfield last time out.
The Welsh side will be keen to pile more hurt on the lowly Robins, who are second-bottom of the standings but have won three of their last four games.
Hull may have played a game more than the Bluebirds but they will be looking to keep up the heat on the leaders when they host Charlton after moving into second place above Leicester in midweek.
Click below for individual match stats and previews:Cardiff v Bristol City

Watford have the chance to leapfrog fellow promotion hopefuls Leicester into third place when they make the trip to Birmingham.
The Hornets are level on points with a game in hand over the Foxes, who are not in action until Tuesday, and will be looking for a maximum haul against 16th-place Birmingham.
Play-off hopefuls Crystal Palace and Middlesbrough collide at Selhurst Park with just one place and two points separating the two.
The fifth-placed Eagles will be keen to keep Boro at bay after they ended a run of five straight league defeats against Leeds in midweek.
Struggling Nottingham Forest have lost their last three on the bounce and will be desperate to turn things around when they host Bolton.
The Trotters claimed an encouraging 2-1 win over Burnley last time out and will hope to turn that into a winning run at the City Ground.
Blackpool remain without a manager as they make the trip to lowly Ipswich but will be looking to build on their win over Millwall last time out.
Wolves are teetering on the brink of the relegation places and visit 10th-place Derby looking to put some distance between themselves and the drop zone.

Pinewood won its first SCISA Sporting Clays Championship this month at the Rocky Creek Sporting Clays Club in Richburg, S.C.
Run by the South Carolina Youth Shooting Foundation, the Rocky Creek tournament is for participants from public schools and SCISA schools as well as those representing 4-H clubs. It is the culmination of a season that has monthly sporting clays events starting in December and is the largest youth shooting event in the state's history with 450 participants.
Three-person teams compete within age divisions at each meet. The players shoot 100 rounds each cumulative from 10 to 18 stations depending on the course. They shoot pairs of targets which can be individually going in any direction, at varying speeds with only one shotgun shell per target.
Pinewood's Senior Advanced team members were Frank Haynes, Clae Wyckoff and Clayton Are. Conner Specht, Griffin Specht, and Chandler Whaley represented Pinewood on its first-year Intermediate team. Sonny Kay represented Pinewood as a single JV participant.
The Intermediate Team shot a different course than the JV and Varsity and placed fourth in its division. Kay had the highest score of the JV shooters who shot as individuals.
The JV and Varsity shot an 18-station course that was about two-miles long, wrapping around a lake and going through woods and fields with nice elevation changes. Each member of the varsity team shot a personal best by a good margin for a total score of 279. Haynes shot a 95, Wyckoff a 94 and Are, a first year shooter, a 90.
The Panthers Advanced team shot the morning rotation and its score held up through the afternoon rotation to earn Pinewood the SCISA Championship. Pinewood also garnered second place overall.
"It was a beautiful morning and all the stars lined up for three young men to shoot the best in their lives at the same time," Pinewood coach Glen Haynes said, "It was something to watch. We had no idea we could win, we've never been in the Top 5. It just shows what can happen on any given day, never give up."

TiPb TV 11: What do we want for iPhone and iPad in 2011?
2010 is over, 2011 is upon us, and there's just a few things we want from Apple and Steve Jobs when it comes to iPhone and iPad next year. Hardware, software, features, services, as wonderful as our current devices are, there's still room for improvement and that's topic for this episode of our video show, TiPb TV!
Whether it's reducing the iPad bezel, adding one (or more!) cameras, or improving the memory, Rene and I expect a lot for iPad 2. Likewise I'm tired of the glass back on my iPhone already and want something sleeker, slimmer, and yes -- way more futuristic for iPhone 5. We also want iTunes.com, a Files app for iOS 5, and several things they could straight out steal from Jailbreak like BiteSMS, theming, and LockInfo.
Demanding enough? Hit the video above and watch along for more, then tell us what you want in the comments!

TiPb TV 11: What do we want for iPhone and iPad in 2011?
Better notifications system.
+1 better notifications!!!!!! cant believe that was not covered
I'd love to see iPad2 with a front facing camera, retina display, 1080p video playback. I'm not too worried about flash.
Well I don't have an iPad... yet, so my wish list will only relate to iPhone.
-White iPhone, that would be nice if it'll ever happpen
-I'd like the storage capacity to be higher. 16/32GB is alot, but I was expecting with iPhone 4 to have those numbers jump to 32/64GB. Although I don't expect iPhone 5 to have that capacity level yet, just due to SSD's haven't really dropped enough in price to make it worth while for Apple.
-I'm going to agree with Georgia on texting. I'd like to reply to a text without having to close an app and go to my texting app. Also, I'd like for texting to be a little more advanced. I think it sparked a topic on here once, but stealing some RIM texting feature would be nice, but highly unlikely.
-Facetime over 3G, I'm not sure if thats an Apple issue or AT&T issue
-Again I agree with Georgia on customization
-That $999 "I am rich" app with the glowing red diamond, I'd love that back. (kidding ha)
-I'm not sure how many people use it, but I have a awful time trying to connect my VPN for work. I'd like Apple to make some changes with its VPN protocol
-Antennagate, enough said
-And iPhone to go to Verizon, I doubt I'll switch, but that only means my friends will now buy the iPhone
That "lock screen info" app shown towards the end, does that really exist for the iP? and if so, I'm assuming throw JB? If so, I will really consider JBing my phone.
i would like the see a live weather app like the one HTC and windows 7 uses. would also rather have live tiles like the one the windows 7 has. the static images that the iphone uses is so boring, not all the apps have to have it and if they did it can be option to turn on/off.
The BIGGEST thing i would like to see in the iphone 5 and ipad 2 is a non mechanical home button. Switch to touch or capitative. this would stream line the products even more and plus one less thing to break. i have seen so many posts about dust and dirt getting stuck in the home button that one click registers as two and vise versa.
also agree with Georgia about all the sms and customizations.
@Mariel its up to you. get the iphone 4 now and have fun with it, once your done sell it here http://usell.com or ebay, get some cash for it and buy the new iphone 5
By now flash should be working on the iPhone. It works on droid and android. Why are they behind the curve on this issue.
Actually Apple is ahead of the curve by supporting the adoption of HTML 5. Flash is antiquated, bloated and has never been optimized to the point of running efficiently on ANY computing device, especially on mobiles.
Just because Flash runs on Android, doesn't mean it runs well. It's still a mediocre experience no matter how one tries to spin it.
No thanks.
I do think Apple picks their battles from a strategic stand point, in other words, things we want and things we get are more than likely decided based upon which will give them the biggest bang for their buck (development time and money). Taking into consideration the competition, what is on the market and where Apple would like to take their products they decide on which features to develop and which to ether leave for later as add on enhancements or to third party developers via apps. It seems they do not want to just throw money at the issue and just hire teams of developers to turn out ever feature available just to keep up with what others are doing at the cost of their overall goals design philosophy.
A user-accessible true file system so I can delete that ungodly PoS pseudo-virus iTunes off my system.
Baring that? For Apple to finally make iTunes at least semi-stable on Windows platforms.
Oh, and while I'm wishing for the impossible, for Apple to open up hardware video playback so VLC can access it and we can stop having to transcode everything because Apples PoS player only speaks one format.
I'm actually in the market for a new cell phone (contract is running out), possibly a slate tablet and possibly a desktop computer. And a DLSR maybe! So, Apple could sell my an iPhone 5, iPad 2, iMac, and an iDSLR if they were A+ devices. ;)
- IPhone 5: uni-core 1.6 GHz Cortex A9, PowerVR SGX 554 MP, 1 GB RAM, 64 GB storage. I'm indifferent about the other stuff. Fully expect iPhone 4 form factor with Retina Display. The dual-core is really just tech masterbation right now. What, 99.9% of code for mobiles is single threaded and the use case for multiple cores is basically zero. A faster Hz single core will be so much more beneficial than dual core. Multicore for the GPU on the other hand, bring it on. Oh, and another hour of battery life. A 4 inch 3:2 screen is likely too big for me. Maybe 3.8 inch if they can maintain the width.
- iPad 2: see iPhone 4 wished for sys specs and up to 128 GB. The number one thing though is that I wish it will be 1 lb and 10 mm thin. The screen should be less glarey. Pretty tall order there.
- IOS 5. Don't care for notifications. The current system is more than adequate for me. My wishlist is instantaneous responsiveness. No lags, no stutters, feel like I'm moving paper or objects on the screen not sending it commands. That should be the number priority above all other things. Maybe the only thing fancy I'd like to see is lockscreen glancible info. I'll have to think hard about the other fancy stuff. More interapp communication, faceless background services, but that kind of stuff increases risks all around.
And the home button has to stay mechanical. It'll just be crazy for it to be capacitive. I'd rather they just get rid of it and do something onscreen than employ a capacitive button.
Lastly, the text entry boxes that blog software uses for mobiles, even desktops, should be bigger. For instances, this text entry box is a mere 4.5 lines tall. It could be twice that.
@shrike so many things happen to the mechanical button. this is just one thread on the apple support site http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2595841
I agree with a lot of the things you guys were saying, about the iPad and the files app for iPhone. However I disagree that they would not make a smaller iPad. I think it will work, especially since they know how to pack more pixels into a small area. It'll probably be a little bit more portable as well. Over some vietnamese food earlier tonight , some friends and I were talking about the iPhone and most of us agree that it looks too fragile and doesn't feel good in the hand ( unless you have a bumper on it. I still have my 3GS and most of us agree that it feels much better in the hand. They should make the back of something else...
I would love to see smart card and RFID integrated into the handset with logical control. This would be features that would appeal to both the individual user and enterprise client through supplying a means for commuters to pay for mass transit or any other case/card related walkup purchases, providing an alternate means to physical access cards for building security access and or logical access onto corporate networks.
Some discussing during this past this year seem to indicate that this is at least being thought of, one that comes to mind was a post I remember seeing some place discussing a test using an RFID equipped i-Phone for New York subway access. Couple that with a broader concept of the Starbucks app which allow users to have a way to pre load funds and use their i-device to pay for products in stores can come in quite handy.
You hinted at this with the facial recognition thing but the one thing the iPad needs most: Multiple user capability.
I want a notch smaller version of iPhone, like a BB Bold form factor. Fits perfectly in palm and so pocketable. Yes, it defeats the advantage of perfect rendering of web site etc, but I can sacrifice the screen real estate a bit in order for a more compact size. To compensate for battery size, add some thickness. IP4 is too thin with too many hard edges, making it rather uncomfy to hod in palm. Take the last row of icons on home screen and you get a perfect size.
Wow ... 2 directions:
1. I've seem to notice that folks want the iPhone 5 to be smaller yet.
Well, that puts them late in the market for 4G ... why?
The 4G Phys are kind of large from a iPhone application ... that is
in part why the Verizon iPhone has no 4G ... it is questionable
if the fab size for the 4G phys will be in a form factor small enough
for a shrunken iPhone 5.
- I kind of want the iPhone 5 to be slightly bigger ... true HD and 4G.
I am still in the market for the iPhone 5 ... but still contemplating
the Android.
- I am excited for the iPad 2 ... if size is shrunk, then all or most
of the display surface is used for HD ... meaning no or very little
border. The other issue is HD ... the pixel size and scaling will be
mucked-up if they do HD ... a quandary.
- On the iPad 2 ... 2 cameras, Retina is nice, but actually it may
be a conflict if they do HD on it. Apple markets a more "creative"
ability on the iPad 2 ... akin to its Macs ... they have to shake
the "iPhone-ish" application/limitations and presentation.
Additionally, dual-core cpu and beefy gpu ... True multitasking
since the CPU power would be greater ... allow adobe
Flash to operate on it.
I really like the iPad ... a bold move that has the potential to
swipe out the "netbook".

Looking for cool, stylish, easy to deal with fashion accessories?
Check out The House of Gabrielle.
Specializing in "the perfect scarf," "fun n' funky" sweat jackets and The Annie Collection, the House of Gabrielle offers an array of fashionable, and easy to handle fashion accessories.
"I cut and serge silky material, then make a bow, sew it, and add Velcro," says owner Linda Gabrielle. "When a person wraps it around their neck and Velcro it together they have a perfectly tied scarf without all the fuss. They are perfect for any woman on the go."
All scarves are handmade, and they choose uniqueness over mass production, Gabrielle says. The scarves are available in a wide variety of colors and patterns, virtually guaranteeing something to please everyone. They also have hidden Velcro strips, which allows the wearer to get the right look every time.
The fun n' funky jackets are designed to be comfortable, stylish, and versatile. They can be dressed up or down, are machine washable, and especially great for travel. Gabrielle notes that she purchases limited quantities of fabrics in order to maintain uniqueness. The jackets are available in black and navy with coordinating trims, and in sizes small thru 3xl.
The Annie Collection is a line of hats Gabrielle created in honor of her mother, who passed away from cancer. The idea was to create and provide fun and fashionable hats for women who have undergone hair loss due to chemotherapy.
"Losing your hair doesn't mean you lose your dignity -- it means you find some wonderful hats that combine fashion with comfort," she says.
For more information contact Gabrielle at email@example.com or visit the website at www.houseofgabrielle.com.

The eventful life of Lodovico Ferrari
Lodovico Ferrari was an Italian mathematician famed for solving the quartic equation. Ferrari was born in 1522 in Bologna and at the age of 14 became the servant of Gerolamo Cardan, a celebrated Italian Renaissance mathematician, physician, astrologer and gambler.
Ferrari showed mathematical promise at a young age, and at the age of 20 became a public lecturer in geometry. He was also a player in a great mathematical controversy of the time - who should get credit for the development of solutions for the cubic and quartic equations.
The controversy includes another notable mathematician of his day, Nicolo Fontana Tartaglia. Tartaglia was an Italian mathematician who was the first to apply mathematics to the investigation of the paths of cannonballs. He had developed his own solutions to the cubic equations, and when Cardan heard of this achievement, nagged a reluctant Tartaglia to show him his work. He succeeded only when he challenged him to a debate and implied that through his influence he could arrange a potentially lucrative contact with the governor of Milan. Tartaglia agreed to tell Cardan his method if Cardan would swear never to reveal it and to only ever write it down in code so that even if he died, nobody would ever discover it. Cardan agreed to this, and Tartaglia enigmatically handed over his formula in the form of a poem.
Several years later however, Cardan and Ferrari saw unpublished work by Scipione del Ferro who had independently devised the same solution as Tartaglia. This work was dated before the work of Tartaglia, and so they decided to break their promise and the include Tartaglia's solution in their published work. Based on Tartaglia's formula, Cardan and Ferrari found proofs for all cases of the cubic and, more impressively, solved the quartic equation - this was reportedly largely due to the work of Ferrari.
Tartaglia then started a campaign of public abuse directed at Cardan and Ferrari, and whilst most of the insults washed off Cardan - who was now established as the world's leading mathematician - Ferrari wrote to Tartaglia challenging him to a public debate. Tartaglia however did not consider Ferrari as worthy of debate - it was Cardan he wanted. Ferrari and Tartaglia traded insults for over a year until 1548 when Tartaglia received an offer of a lectureship in Brescia. To establish his credentials for the post, he was asked to take part in the debate with Ferrari.
Tartaglia was an experienced debater and expected to win. However, by the end of the first day, it was clear that things were not going his way and that Ferrari understood the cubic and quartic equations more thoroughly. Tartaglia decided to flee that night, with victory left to Ferrari. Ferrari's fame soared and he was inundated with offers of employment, including a request from the emperor.
Ferrari was appointed tax assessor to the governor of Milan, and after transferring to the service of the church, retired as a young (aged 42) and rich man. He moved back to his home town of Bologna and in with his widowed sister Maddalena. He died in 1565 of white arsenic poisoning, most likely administered by Maddalena. Maddalena did not grieve at his funeral and having inherited his fortune, remarried two weeks later. Her new husband promptly left her with all her fortune and she died in poverty.

The mathematics of monopoly on More or less
More or Less, BBC Radio 4's program that takes you on a journey through the often abused but ever ubiquitous world of numbers, has recently returned to the airways, and next Monday (17th December 4.30 pm), regular Plus contributors Rob Eastaway and John Haigh are featuring on the program discussing the maths of Monopoly.
Eastaway and Haigh have written for Plus many times on a range of topics including:
Plus spoke to Eastaway about the science of Monopoly, and without giving too much away, Eastaway commented that because the "Go to jail" square is the most frequently visited sqaure on the board, the orange properties are the best investments, as players leaving jail are most likely to then land on these properties.
This means you should invest in Bow Street, Marlborough and Vine Street — or in the US version, St James Place, New York Avenue or Tennessee Avenue.

Hop on the train of mixing prints, patterns, textures, colors and leathers. It'll probably stop soon, so let's make this trip quick, yeah?
If you've been to any vintage, thrift or resale shops lately, you can tell that camo and military jacket sare making their rounds. This was my favorite summer wear to toss over a tank or light tee. It also enabled me to haul keys, cards, cellphones, wallets, swag and the like around without cramping my shorty shorts.
Now with fall upon us, it's still a great layering piece. Think about subbing this guy in for a cardigan, or pile a down vest on over it. Comb through a thrift store to find one on the cheap, or dole out a few extra bucks at a curated resale shop to save you some time.
- Pro Tip: If it's short or boxy or baggy, just roll the sleeves to make a hybrid, kimono-like sleeve of sorts and pretend you're chill about it because you're confident. That's what I do with most of my clothes. 'Cuz lanky arms.

The winning fish weren't the largest fish ever caught at James Island Elementary School, but the excitement was there for youngsters and grown-ups: the youngsters who chose to fish while attending the school's Spring Carnival and the members of the Charleston Coastal Anglers fishing club who coordinated the tournament.
"The Charleston Coastal Anglers really stepped up. They bought the bait (crickets), cane poles and they bought plaques for the kids. They brought the people to do the work," said Pat Harrington, a physical education teacher at James Island Elementary.
"I think those guys really enjoyed the opportunity to be around the kids and see how excited they were. It brings back memories for them. I remember when I was a kid I'd be waiting all week for my uncle to tell me he was taking me fishing. And then I couldn't sleep the night before because I was so excited. That's how much it meant to me as a kid."
Harrington said the large retention pond has been a great nature resource for the students. Not only does it hold largemouth bass, bream and turtles, but ospreys, geese, ducks and cormorants, and even the occasional bald eagle pay visits.
Harrington has used the pond as a teaching tool in a program he would love to expand. Since coming to the school, he has incorporated fishing trips as part of the school's Positive Behavior Interventions and Systems program. Students earn points for positive behavior and can cash in those points for various things at the school, including a fishing trip with Harrington.
"When I take them, I have a Mitchell 300 reel that's 65 years old that I let them use. I tell them that before I was even born that reel was catching fish and now you have a chance to catch fish with this reel," Harrington said.
Harrington said he would like to expand the program to incorporate more sessions that would focus on the scientific aspects of the nature attracted by the pond.

Kickstarter launches terrific new iPhone app, but their fulfillment still needs a lot of work
Kickstarter has, at long last, launched their iPhone app. It's focused on helping you discover interesting projects to back, getting updates from your friends and the stuff you've backed, and, if you're a creator, keeping your backers informed and updated. According to Perry Chen, Yancey Strickler, and Charles Adler, writing on the Kickstarter Blog:
The app is a whole new way to experience Kickstarter. We took things we've learned from the past three years of building the site, and applied them to a total redesign for the iPhone. We redesigned the project page, browse pages, and others. And we focused on making three things really useful and fun: finding new projects, keeping up to date with projects you've backed, and offering great tools for creators.
The app looks clean, flows quickly and smoothly, and once you login via Facebook, let's you do pretty much everything you need to do on Kickstarter while mobile. In terms of design and implementation, it looks to be a home run. If you enjoy Kickstarter and you have an iPhone, get the app.

Now here's the point where I go off the rails. As good as the Kickstarter app experience is, Kickstarter's fulfillment process remains poor. I get the whole argument about "backing" isn't "buying", but that's sophistry. Kickstarter, from inception, was set up as a way to get creators money and people, stuff. It's ecommerce as surely as Apple Online or Amazon. If that's not the service they want to provide, they should disallow any reward offering beyond a simple, sincere acknowledgement. Once rewards become goods and services, it's ecommerce.
Of course, there's absolutely a huge difference between Kickstarter and more conventional ecommerce sites in that unfunded projects will never ship, and even funded projects may fail due to the people behind them. But Kickstarter's current problem is far more elementary, and far less forgivable than this: Funded projects that are successfully completed can still fail to get into the hands of backers due to simple logistical confusion.
Kickstarter can't fulfill.
I've backed a dozen or more projects. By which I mean I've hit the button and pledged money. I've gotten maybe 2 or 3 of them. Some never shipped, others are still delayed, but several simply never got fulfilled. Invariably, somewhere along the way, the backer needed my address, or to confirm billing, or product details, and I needed to visit their website and login to some extra account, or... the list goes on and on.
Worse, I've seldom if ever been aware of any of the above. I've found out while checking junk, or when I happen to login to Kickstarter, or when I'm trying to find out where something is that should have shipped long ago.
Just today, curious why I hadn't heard word one about my Pebble still, I went poking around inside Kickstarter, found nothing, started searching, came across a separate Kickstarter site, found out I had to login there, and was promptly asked for my shipping address. They didn't have it. And I only found out by happenstance.
The process should be: I click, they ship. That's it. Instead, it currently involves multiple, unnecessary points of failure that results in projects not getting all the money they should, customers not getting the awesome stuff they expect, and a poor experience for everyone. If they have limitations due to Amazon handling transactions, or concerns about sharing user information, figure them out. That's not the customers' problem. Make it "just work".
I click, they ship. That should be it.

Kickstarter launches terrific new iPhone app, but their fulfillment still needs a lot of work
I've been very pleased with the communications I've received from the half dozen or so Kickstarter projects I've supported. I've received frequent email updates as they've moved from pledges to actual production on all of them and specific instructions and deadlines when necessary.
One of the projects, Pen Type-A (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cwandt/pen-type-a-a-minimal-pen), ran into significant delays but they kept us informed thru every step and described the obstacles in great detail. Frankly, even if they had failed to ship a final product I'd have considered the money well spent as the email updates and play-by-play was a fascinating look behind the scenes of manufacturing a deceptively simple product and how tempting it is to cut corners just to see that product shipped.
Rene you make a great point and one that keeps me from ever investing in Kick Starter projects. Not to sound too Shark Tank but if I invest I understand there are risks with this form of research and development. But, if the risk is successful, I want a return on the reward. I hope the folks at Kick Starter are listening.
Kickstarter fulfillment does NOT need work, because Kickstarter doesn't do fulfillment. That is up to the creators.
I too backed the Pebble watch. I received semi-regular status updates via email, and could check the Kickstarter site whenever I liked.
One specific update email from Pebble asked users to confirm their address - which is a good thing because I had moved since becoming a backer and needed to have the Pebble shipped to the new address.
With as many updates as Pebble sent out, and being that this project was far behind the initially projected schedule, I find it incredible that any backer would be clueless to the status or to the fact that it was up to the backer to confirm their shipping address before they would receive their Pebble. I became a backer of Pebble late in the game, and I've now been wearing it for about a week.
Just because Rene is clueless does not mean their is anything wrong with the way Kickstarter works. Just because Rene thinks that once projects "become goods and services it's ecommerce" doesn't mean it is ecommerce. And it can't be as simple as "I click, they ship." That works for ecommerce when the item(s) are shipped within days of the order being placed, but certainly not when many months pass before being shipped. If Pebble just shipped without getting shipping address confirmation from me, it would have been shipped to the wrong address, long after the USPS mail forwarding expired. And I still wouldn't have my Pebble, like clueless Rene.
Rene, after reading your article I decided to analyze my Kickstarter activity. Overall, I am happy to have helped some of the low dollar support projects. My larger contributions have been the tech projects which have been a mixed bag. I think it boils down to the manufacturing process. BTW, I feel that many of the projects did a good job of keeping me informed.

The Kardashians
Who Is Jonathan Cheban?
Kim Kardashian's BFF Jonathan Cheban is just one of the many guests to show up this season of Kourtney and Kim Take Miami, but he's probably the only one who will get bitch-slapped by Kourtney Kardashian. But those of you who aren't Kardashian addicts like us may be wondering, who is this guy that thinks he can talk to Kourtney like that?? Who is Jonathan Cheban?
In addition to being besties with Kim — well, when she isn't meddling in his life by putting strain on his relationship with his business partner, that is — Jonathan is also longtime pal of Scott Disick and most of the Kardashian fam. By day, Jonathan is a publicist for Command PR, a firm which was chronicled on E!'s The Spin Crowd, a short lived 2010 docu-series that was produced by none other than Kim Kardashian. Jonathan was portrayed as an annoying, self-centered, know-it-all boss type, but on his various appearances on Keeping Up and Kourtney & Kim Take New York, and other Kardashian shows, he seems like a great friend to Kim, Scott, and the rest of the Kardashian family.
Scott has said that he and Jonathan go way back; they grew up in NYC together. Small world! Jonathan and Kim are also often spotted palling around together. Maybe it's because of the day job, but he seems to know lots of reality stars. He's been captured on film with Jersey Shore stars Snooki and Sammi Sweetheart, among others.

Not happy about Facebook buying Instagram? Here's how to export your photos and delete your account!
While some people will no doubt be thrilled that Facebook has just bought Instagram, and certainly many couldn't care less one way or t'other, there will be some folks who don't like, use, or trust Facebook when it comes to their personal photos. If you're one of them, and you're now looking for a way to export your photos out of Instagram and close your account, here's how to get it done.
How to export your photos from Instagram
One of the fastest ways to export your photos from Instagram, whether it's to leave the service or simply to create a backup, is with Instaport.me. A free web-based service, it will quickly and painlessly let you download a copy of all your Instagrams right to your Windows, Mac, or Linux PC.
- On your PC, go to http://www.instaport.me
- Click on Sign in with Instagram
- Enter your Instagram username and password
- Click on Yes to authorize instaport.me's access to your Instagram photos
- Click on Start Export.
- Wait.
Depending on how many Instagram photos you have, it could take a while to finish. When you're done, a zip file containing all your Instagrams will be safely stores in your default downloads folder.
How to delete your Instagram account
If for some reason merely backing up your Instagram photos isn't enough and you decide you want to kill it entirely, bury it upside down, and salt the earth before Facebook gets access to your content, here's how to close your account:
- Browse to https://instagram.com/accounts/remove/request/
- Choose a reason
- Click Continue
Finish up your account removal and you're done, footloose and Facebook free.
Do you really want to delete your Instagram account just because they were bought by Facebook?
Make sure you carefully, cautiously consider if you really want to delete your Instagram account just because Facebook bought them. It's easy to get swept up in emotions when something you love is acquired by someone you don't trust or dislike, but it's worth taking a moment to think it over.
Once you've decided for sure, jump into our photography forum and tell us why you decided the way you did, and what other photo sharing service or services you might be considering switching to?

Not happy about Facebook buying Instagram? Here's how to export your photos and delete your account!
I don't have a problem with facebook... I use it everyday, but I am still ticked off by this. I absolutely hate the whole facebook integration thing and i dont want to have every single thing i use online controlled by a "Big Brother". Someone needs to stop that company from its internet monopolizing plans.
Agreed; I had Instagram for a while, and while I like all the filters and I dig the whole concept, I just wasn't using it enough to justify letting it take up space on my phone. I deleted both it and FB and don't miss them.
Just what I needed to purge Instagram from my phone. It was only taking up space. I found it to be a useless app.
I love how people complain for everything, they give you games, platforms, integration, social content, personal online storage, all for free of course, yet Facebook is evil. I seriously try to find a flaw to Facebook over other 'equivalent' alternatives. Facebook is so superior, I guess only programmers will understand its quality.
I don't understand why people are ranting about deleting their account because they were bought by Facebook. (Not on this site, but on various other sites across the web, the backlash is intense.)
I mean read the press release, Instagram will continue to be developed as a a separate application and will continue to have the option NOT to share photos to Facebook.
hi!,I like your writing so much! percentage we keep in touch more about your post on AOL? I require a specialist in this area to unravel my problem. May be that's you! Looking ahead to see you.
Color me confused about people being outraged at this as well. Instagram, before acquisition, was still a social network where anything you put on there was in the public domain. It has privacy settings that you can take advantage of if so you choose, but Facebook does as well.
Here's a surefire way to to keep "Big Brother" from watching you: don't use social networks. Boom.
Great site you have got here.. It�s difficult to find quality writing like yours nowadays. I honestly appreciate people like you! Take care!!
I deleted my account because of the buyout. I understand that it's been said that Instagram will continue to be run as a separate entity, but I don't trust Facebook not to change things in weird ways I don't like and make it hard for me to figure out what to do about it or to do what it says it's going to do in the first place. This is also why I deleted my Facebook account.
Great post. I was checking constantly this blog and I'm impressed! Extremely helpful info particularly the last part :) I deal with such info much. I used to be seeking this particular information for a very lengthy time. Thank you and best of luck.

CHARLESTON — This year's Spoleto Festival USA in Charleston took in nearly $3 million at the box office.
The festival also said on Wednesday that about 63,000 tickets were sold for the 160 events staged during the 17-day run of the festival.
Festival officials said Spoleto means about $50 million in economic impact for the Charleston area.
The festival was created in Charleston in 1977 by the late composer Gian Carlo Menotti as a companion to his Festival of Two Worlds in Spoleto, Italy.
This year's Spoleto Festival USA concluded Sunday evening with fireworks following a concert by the Red Stick Ramblers – a Cajun, honky-tonk and swing ensemble – at Middleton Place Plantation.

Mark Hummels dies, was 2nd victim in office shooting
PHOENIX -- A second victim of the Phoenix office-complex shooting has died.
Lawyer Mark Hummels passed away Thursday night. He was taken off life support, according to a statement. He had undergone surgery at John C. Lincoln Hospital for bullet wounds to his neck and back, suffered in Wednesday's shooting.
He is the second fatality linked to suspected shooter Arthur Douglas Harmon, 70, of Phoenix. Steve Singer, the first victim, died a few hours after the shooting.
Hummels, 43, was representing Singer in a lawsuit filed by Harmon, according to court documents. The victims and the suspect had been at a settlement hearing earlier in the day at the office complex at 16th Street and Glendale Avenue.
According to the statement, Hummels had been declared brain dead.
Services for Hummels will be held at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday at the Orpheum Theatre, 203 W. Adams.
If you would like to make a charitable donation, Hummels' family asks that you do so to the Mark Hummels Memorial Fund at the Arizona Community Foundation. Also, donations for the welfare, education and care of Mark's two children may be made to the Hummels Children's Fund at Alliance Bank of Arizona, 2901 N. Central Ave., Suite 100, Phoenix 85012.
According to Hummels' biography at the Osborn Maledon firm's website, he was considered "a future star" by Benchmark Litigation, a national publication that focuses on litigation.
Hummels was admitted to the state bar in 2005 and clerked for Arizona Supreme Court Justice Andrew Hurwitz.
The suspected shooter, Harmon was found dead in Mesa Thursday morning.

Internet Explorer 10 finally comes to Windows 7
The tenth major version of Internet Explorer has been available to users of Windows 8 for months, in both the operating system's pre-release days and since it hit retail on October 26. But while Microsoft declared IE10 ready to go for Windows 8, users of Windows 7 could not download the browser'until today.
Even now, Internet Explorer 10 for Windows 7 is only available in a "Release Preview." It's the first preview of IE10 to be usable on Windows 7 since last year's Platform Preview. But what's available today is a version of IE10 that is presumably ready for daily use, as installing it replaces the user's previous version of Internet Explorer.
IE10 is only for Windows 7 and Windows 8. The reason for the staggered releases hasn't been confirmed, but as we noted in an article last month, "The extra time required for Windows 7 may be due to underlying platform differences'Windows 8 supports Direct3D 11.1, compared to 11.0 on Windows 7, for example. So if Internet Explorer 10 depends on Direct3D 11.1 features, either that dependence has to be removed, or Direct3D 11.1 has to be ported to Windows 7."
