you would on Windows, plus there is a full tracking of changes.
Personally, I liked the fact that I am getting full spellcheck on an iPad app. I consider myself very fast on the iPad keyboard, but the accuracy rates are horrible, especially when Apples over enthusiastic spellcheck is at work. Plus, it gives me a word count only someone who writes for a publication will know why that is so important.
The big disadvantage
The big disadvantage of the app is that the iPad, one of the last bastions of private computing, has now become more productive than ever before. You work has come big time into the tablet and you cannot shirk work saying you dont have a laptop at hand. Our lives will never be the same again.
Sarcasm aside, this is among the best things to have happened on the iPad for sometime. Just look at the convenience of being able to work on the same file from a desktop as well as your phone and tablet. Yes, this is a great app. Great enough to make people consider the iPad as a serious work device.
PS: This post was filed completely on the Microsoft Office iPad app.

As Attorney General Eric Holder kicked-off a week celebrating government openness Monday afternoon, the Justice Department's former chief of information and privacy is refuting the department's statistics showing increased transparency.
Daniel Metcalfe, founding member of the Justice Department's Office of Information and Privacy, says the department's recent Freedom of Information Act statistics appear to be "grossly wrong."
In a story by John Hudson in the Atlanticwire, ex-DOJ official Dan Metcalfe says the numbers don't add up in the department's FOIA backlog reduction figures.
"For it to falsely claim that it 'continues to lead by example' has now become sad to the point of being pathetic, as is the notion that it is doing more today than ever in the past to promote FOIA disclosure," Metcalfe told Atlanticwire.
Holder spoke at Department of Justice headquarters in Washington Monday, beginning "Sunshine Week," which celebrates the department's accomplishments in transparency. In 2009, President Barack Obama issued a directive intended to reverse a controversial policy of the George W. Bush administration that directed agencies essentially to deny FOIA requests whenever technically possible. The Obama directive asked agencies to make FOIA requests a priority, in addition to increasing government openness as a whole.
The Attorney General lauded the department's "unprecedented efforts" it has undertaken to fulfill Obama's goals, according to prepared statements. Holder also announced two changes to the department's FOIA process: First, the department will post monthly FOIA logs documenting all requests made to senior leadership offices within DOJ. Second, the department will allow individuals to submit requests online, with online tracking capabilities.
"These are simple, common-sense improvements that will help streamline the ways in which ordinary Americans can participate in the work of their government," Holder said in the remarks. "[T]hey will reinforce the culture of openness we've worked to instill across the federal government."
In a recent news release, the department said it reduced its FOIA backlog by 26 pecent in fiscal year 2011. But Metcalfe, doing his own math with the department's annual reports, found that there is only a 4.5 percent decrease in pending requests over the last two years. He found a backlog increase from 2009 to 2010, according to the Atlanticwire.
The Justice Department said the number difference is a result of different definitions of unanswered FOIA requests, according to the story. The department in its numbers refers to the FOIA backlong, while Metcalfe cites "pending requests." The department said in the annual reports the backlog is generally smaller than the pending requests "because it doesn't include FOIA requests that came in within the last 20 business days, which is the statutory deadline agencies have to respond to initial requests," according to the report.
But the difference between the backlog and pending requests was "unusually large" in 2011, Metcalfe said. Metcalfe now serves as the executive director of American University School of Law's Collaboration on Government Secrecy.

Exploring New Jersey's Grand Prix
Plans to host a Formula One race along and above the banks of the Hudson River in 2013 have been revealed in New Jersey. The Formula One Grand Prix of America, as it is intended to be called, will run clockwise on existing roads through Port Imperial and at the top of the New Jersey Palisades in Weehawken and West New York to form a 5.15 km (3.2 mile) circuit.
A significant altitude change will be involved – 46 metres or 150 feet – as the track switches from navigating a waterside location, with views of the Manhattan skyline, to winding its way along the sides of the steep New Jersey Palisades – a natural cliff face that rises above the Hudson River.
The lap starts of with a series of right-angled corners, leaving you in no doubt that you're on US streets, with the proposed pit lane seemingly looping around the Turn 1 run-off area and joining before the second corner. That should avoid the criticism recently directed at Korea's pit lane exit although it should be noted that early designs for Yeongam followed exactly the same approach.
After the right-hand Turn 3, things start getting interesting as the track rapidly climbs upwards away from the port, through another right-hander next to Hamilton Park (what price a Hamilton corner?) and up onto the Palisades and a winding, tree-lined avenue. The climb flattens out at about the point it hits a dinking little left-right chicane where the circuit joins JF Kennedy Boulevard to twist along the tops of the cliffs above the harbour section below.
At Turn 12, the circuit takes a sharp turn to the right and starts a sweeping decent through Turn 13 to a double apex hairpin (Turn 14/15) which should provide the first good chance for a passing manoeuvre. This final section resembles Montreal's Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, with which the race is expected to run back-to-back, as from the hairpin it's a long drag race down the sweeping Port Imperial Boulevard before coming to a chicane. Unlike Canada's, this one is a quick left with the return of direction coming much later than that faced at the Wall of Champions, indeed the pit lane entry slots in between the turns. It's then back on to the start-finish straight and the start of another lap.
The organisers have compared the track to Monaco (high cliffs) and Spa (big gradient changes) but if feels more like Montreal with gradient changes – which sounds like anything but a bad thing. Oddly, investor Leo Hindery Jr. pointed towards Valencia as the most obvious template – that's just worrying.
One of the most interesting aspects of the proposal is how public transport is already linked in with the circuit – light rail, buses and the Manhattan ferry services all coming together literally within a stones throw of the start-finish line.
Unlike Austin, the circuit will be funded entirely by private investors without government support. Still, New Jersey state governor Chris Christie spoke of the economic benefits that will be brought to the area. "In terms of the economic impact it is going to be significant, think about bringing well over 100,000 people into this area to frequent the shops, the restaurants and the hotels, to be staying here for over three days in a celebratory mood watching one of the world's great road races," he said. Fine words but with such easy access to Manhattan, the worry must that much of that spending power may end up over in New York's hotels and restaurants instead.
The other question is whether the US is ready for two Grand Prix just yet. Off the calendar since 2007, 2005's debacle is still fresh in the memory. Internationally, New York is probably the more accessible to European fans, especially as the Canadian Grand Prix could be taken in on the same trip. Austin may then be looking to South and Central America – rumours of a Mexican Grand Prix might be a little unsettling therefore. However, Spain hosts two races, and while admittedly they have the drawing power of Fernando Alonso to depend on, Valencia and Barcelona are not 2400 km apart. That's almost as far as Silverstone and Istanbul are separated, for this year at least, the two extremities of the European calendar.
So it seems that Bernie Ecclestone may have finally got his New York Grand Prix… well almost. At least the organisers haven't rode completely over New Jersey – 'Grand Prix of America' seems a reasonable, if slightly confusing compromise. More importantly, however, the track actually looks like a lot of fun to drive.

Rachael Stirling: They're the best friends in the world. Having brothers - I love that. They don't take any rubbish and they beat you up if you've been misbehaving.
Rachael Stirling: It's such a boring cliché to be the daughter of an actress. I'm a living, walking, breathing, smoking cliché!
Rachael Stirling: I must have been nineteen when I took myself off to the Himalayas on my own. I was there for about a month, I had no problems. My parents were very worried, but my elder brothers, Willy and Ludo, were like, 'Naah, she'll be fine'.
Rachael Stirling: I got this film, Still Crazy. I was so green that I didn't even know what they meant when they said 'You're wrapped'. I went back to my caravan. They found me when they were going round to lock up. (on her first movie role)
Rachael Stirling: I wear it like a banner. I'm so proud that I got myself a degree and that I can prove that I'm not a thick actress.
Rachael Stirling: I just think it's so important to throw the net a bit wider. To continue to learn, to research, to be curious, to allow yourself to be curious about subjects, about politics, about literature, about history. History of Art was my degree course, and I was hungry to learn as much as I could before I ended up sitting in a caravan reading scripts twenty-four hours a day.
Rachael Stirling: I didn't go to balls. Okay, I went to one, called the Northern Meeting. But no one filled in my dance card. No dashing white sergeant whisked me off my feet. I was a big, big lass, you see. I didn't start to feel remotely attractive until I was twenty-one. ( on being a teenager)
Rachael Stirling: Everybody used to say, 'You must get the most amazing clothes from your mumma'. Well, I didn't, until now.

( on being the daughter of Diana Rigg)
Rachael Stirling: What was I like as a kid? A complete nightmare, I'm sure. Energetic, always riding my pony and swimming in rivers - and pretty self-contained. Well, there weren't any kids living next door. ( on her childhood in Scotland)

Pay raise vetoed
Mayor: Mayor's raise too big
August 22, 2013
For the first time, Mayor Jim Connors brought out his veto pen and crossed out a decision made by the Lake Geneva City Council to approve a pay raise for the council members and the mayor.
The veto is modest. Connors writes "I respectfully veto the Council's action to increase salaries "
That means the issue goes back to the council for reconsideration at the Aug. 26 meeting.
It takes six votes for the council to overturn a veto.
It's not that Connors was necessarily against pay raises for the mayor and council members.
His reasoning was: The mayor got too big of a hike.
At the Aug. 12 city council meeting, the council members voted 5-2 with one alderman absent, to increase the annual salaries for council members from $3,500 to $4,000 and the mayor from $6,000 to $7,500.
That amounts to a 14.3 percent increase for the council members, and a 25 percent increase for the mayor.
"While I appreciate your dedication to the service of our citizens, I feel that the salary increase the council approved for the mayor is excessive," Connors explained in his veto letter to the council.
By law, the raise approved by the council wouldn't begin to kick in until the next round of municipal elections.
Lake Geneva has four aldermanic districts, and two council members serve staggered two-year terms from each district.
One council member from each aldermanic district will be up for election in 2014, with the other council member from each district standing for election in 2015.
The mayor's seat is also up for election in 2014. Those elected in the 2014 election would be the first to get the raises, followed by council members elected in 2015.
The mayor and council haven't gotten a raise since 2008.
And more than a few council members said they thought it was time to boost it a bit.
As the council members conceded, no one will get rich on their pay as aldermen and alderwomen.
But the salaries do defray some of the cost of running for and serving in office.
During the Aug. 5 committee of the whole meeting, City Clerk Mike Hawes presented a pay study which compared compensation for elected officials in municipalities with populations between 5,000 and 15,000.
He found that the median pay for mayors and village presidents was $7,200 and $3,600 for council members and trustees.
Alderman Sturg Taggart pointed out that the village of Hales Corners, a Milwaukee suburb with a population of 7,683, pays its village president $5.700 a year and its trustees $3,900 a year.
Lake Geneva's population is listed at 7,679.
Taggart suggested that council member pay in Lake Geneva be boosted to equal that in Hales Corners.
"I think we deserve a raise to bring us to the level of Hales Corners," Taggart said.
But when the proposed raises of $4,000 and $7,500 were put to a vote a week later, Taggart joined Alderman Jeff Wall in voting against the raises.
Alderman Bill Mott was excused and absent for that meeting.

HOLLYWOOD — After collaborating on some of the most popular and distinctive films of the past two decades, Tim Burton and Johnny Depp are celebrating a special milestone: 20 years together. Next month they'll be on the big screen once again with their seventh film, a new take on "Alice in Wonderland." But aside from the obvious — they're friends, fans love them, etc. — we has to ask: What is the process that keeps bringing these two talents together?
"I think we always treat each thing as what the project is," Tim Burton explained, insisting that it isn't simply automatic that any movie he makes star Depp (even though the last four have). "[Whether I cast Johnny depends on] what the character is."
To us normal folk, it seems like a no-brainer that if you could choose who to work alongside, you'd fill the ranks with your friends. But Burton said that whenever he brings a project to Depp, he wouldn't be offended if Johnny said no.
"[Just] because you know somebody … [we don't make movies] just to work with each other, but it has always been great," the filmmaker said of their solid track record on everything from "Edward Scissorhands" to "Ed Wood" to "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and others. "You want to make sure each thing is on the same level, or better. We always just treat it as what the project is — no pressure either way."
Then there's the matter of who Depp will play. In some movies like "Chocolate Factory," his casting was fairly obvious — but in Lewis Carroll's original "Wonderland" tales, The Mad Hatter hardly possessed the most screen time.
"To be honest, when he called I didn't know what character he wanted me to be," Depp admitted of the duo's initial "Wonderland" conversations. "For all I knew, I could have been Alice — which would have been fine also."
"You would have liked that," Burton teased.
"I was just prepared to do whatever he wanted, whatever character it was," Depp said of their recurring collaborative efforts and what keeps bringing them both back. "Each time out of the gate with Tim, you just try something a little different. You try something and try to keep him interested. You want to try to stimulate the atmosphere."
"Which is great, because that's what movies are all about," Burton explained. "It's fun and interesting to see how his character develops [as we shoot a movie]. How it feeds off of me and the rest of the crew. It's why you like to make movies."
Check out everything we've got on "Alice In Wonderland."

Stocks rose on Friday, with the S&P 500 closing above 1,800 for the first time and healthcare names leading the way higher.
The Dow industrials ended at another record high above 16,000.
Both the Dow and the S&P 500 recorded their seventh straight week of gains in what has been a very strong year for stocks. The seven-week advance comes just ahead of December, which since 1950 has been the best month for both the Dow and the S&P.
"We're advising our clients to take this ride until the end of the year," said Drew Nordlicht, managing director and partner at Hightower San Diego.
The Nasdaq Biotech Index jumped 3 per cent, driven by a surge in Biogen Idec.
Shares of Biogen shot up 13.2 per cent on heavy volume to $285.62 after the company won 10 years of exclusivity protection for its multiple sclerosis drug, Tecfidera, from regulators in Europe.
"Healthcare is the place to be. It's a hot area. People want stocks in healthcare, industrials and consumer discretionary. That's where tactical investors have been focused, and that's where the money has been flowing," said Michael Matousek, head trader at U.S. Global Investors Inc, in San Antonio, Texas.
European regulators also recommended approval of a new drug for hepatitis C from Gilead Sciences, which pushed its shares up 3.7 per cent to $74.27.
The S&P 500 healthcare sector index has gained 37.5 per cent so far in 2013, making it the S&P 500's best-performing sector this year.
Such moves give investors who have enjoyed some of the 26.5 per cent surge in the S&P 500 this year an opportunity to reduce their positions ahead of an eventual market correction.
The CBOE Volatility Index fell 3.2 per cent to close at 12.86.
With volatility low and the price of options cheap, "you can lighten your stock position, but replace it with a derivative. This way, if the market were to tank, you would lose a lot less on the derivative than you would lose on the stock," Matousek said.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 54.78 points, or 0.34 per cent, to end at a record 16,064.77. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index gained 8.91 points, or 0.50 per cent, to finish at 1,804.76. The Nasdaq Composite Index climbed 22.50 points, or 0.57 per cent, to close at 3,991.65.

What a freak accident, really sad. We rarely think of marshals until things like this happen. I was frightened for them on lap 48 when van der Garde stopped out on track in a highly dangerous position, marshals running around in their efforts to retrieve the car .
This is truly tragic for the deceased track marshal and his family.

Raw or Cooked: Which Vegetables Are Healthier?
Raw vs. cooked
Have you always wondered how to prepare vegetables in order to maximize their nutritional content? There's no easy answer, since cooking powers up the nutrients in some vegetablesand does the exact opposite in others.
"Some produce is most nutritious uncooked, while other kinds need heat to bring out the best in them," says Dawn Jackson Blatner, RD, a registered dietitian with a practice in Chicago. From asparagus to tomatoes, here's how to get the most from your farmers' market picks.

It is, if you think about it, remarkable how speedily someone can garner a fanbase these days. Thanks to the various channels of connectivity that we now possess, a band can, like London Grammar, go from students who jam occasionally to selling out venues in the space of a year.
But their homecoming show at the Electric - after a stint touring around the US - puts this fact in plain sight. Particularly at the bar, where it takes about twenty minutes to get a pint. But the stress of trying to squeeze into a free spot without unintentionally entering a wet t-shirt contest washes away as soon as Hannah Reid, Dot Major and Dan Rothman break into an immaculate rendition of 'Hey Now'. Illuminated by a bright yellow spotlight, Reid's unwavering tones transfix a crowd on the cusp of getting Friday-rowdy.
It's certainly more of a 'concert' than a 'gig' - a world away from the sweaty, charged events that the Electric no doubt sees most nights. It almost feels like your phone should be on silent, while you gaze up at the stage, watching without comment to the person beside you. This is something that Hannah addresses in-between tracks. "We love our American fans but they always tend to whoop and yell really loudly in the quiet moments of our songs... I'm trying to concentrate here!" she jokes.
When Clash interviewed the group as one of our Next Wave artists, Hannah confessed to suffering from severe stage fright. "I still have it really really badly", she told us. "Our first show was so bad, I couldn't imagine my life carrying on afterwards. It was really extreme." The tour seems to have proven remedial for the band, whose stage presence is warm, and they take the time to chat to the audience in-between songs. Dan relates an anecdote about being recognised for the first time at a show of theirs - "it never happens to me. Even at my own gigs!"
His minimal guitar-work along with bongo tapping from Dot provide the ideal backdrop to Reid's syrupy vocals, as the band straddle the waters between indie and danceable synth-pop with ease, building up to the latter with the rhythmic 'Metal and Dust' closing the show. Their cover of Kavinsky's 'Nightcall', taken from their debut LP, and of Chris Isaak's 'Wicked Game' are further highlights, along with the haunting and feverishly-received "Wasting My Young Years". It's not your average gig in Brixton, and surely a far cry away from the vibe going off at Rudimental down the road at the Academy. But the formula works - here, at least. Maybe stick to London, London Grammar.

In his State of the Union speech last Wednesday, President Obama called for a repeal of the controversial "Don't ask, don't tell" directive that has kept gays and lesbians from serving openly in the U.S. military. Against the backdrop of California's continuing debate over gay marriage, the President's statement reflects how far we've come in accepting equality for gays and lesbians, and how far we still have to go.
In the mid 90's, I was a young naval officer stationed in Japan, responsible for 65 sailors. While the "gays in the military" issue embroiled Washington, D.C., it wasn't a vital question out in the field. Everyone knew that there were gays in the ranks of every service, but few gave the fact a second thought, simply because the military is a mission-focused organization. Soldiers don't spend much time agonizing over race, gender, creed or sexual preferences, so long as the indispensable qualities of dependability, honesty, self-sacrifice and integrity are assured.
Despite this, back then I opposed President Clinton's call for immediate military integration, partially because of the way he approached the issue. Instead of creating a discussion, it felt like he was trying to cram a solution down our throats, whether we liked it or not. Further, near the navy base in Japan where I was stationed, a gay sailor, Seaman Allen R. Schindler, was beaten to death only the year before by two of his shipmates. Back then, it seemed better to
just let sleeping dogs lie.
Yet the times have changed, and so have my own views. While the military remains a reflection of society in general, that society has become more tolerant. Just as there is now a broad acceptance of gays in every facet of American society, there is also broad acceptance of gays in the current generation of the military, both amongst the rank-in-file as well as the leadership. According to 2006 Zogby data, "nearly three in four troops (73%) say they are personally comfortable in the presence of gays and lesbians." Of the 20% who said they are uncomfortable around gays and lesbians, only a quarter of these, or 5% of all troops, are "very" uncomfortable, while only 2% said knowing that gays are not allowed to serve openly was an important reason in their decision to join the military.
"Don't Ask Don't Tell" has also had an unfortunate effect on our safety. A GAO report found that between 1998 and 2003, more than 60 linguists specializing in Arabic or Farsi were expelled from the military for being gay -- linguists who would have been critical in helping warn us about 9/11, or helping us in Afghanistan and Iraq. We need smart, dedicated service members in the ranks -- who cares if they're gay or straight?
I recently asked a Marine Corps colonel about the current Department of Defense policy of "Don't ask, don't tell." The officer defended the policy, saying that discussions about sex don't belong in the workplace, especially in military. Yet this isn't an issue of discussing sex in the workplace. It's a simple matter of equality. Americans -- including those who've volunteered to serve their country in the most dangerous situations imaginable -- should not have to hide who they are.
No one doubts that gays have always served honorably in the military, but up until now they have served in the shadows. This must change. Since the early 90's, America has followed its dramatic successes in granting women's rights and civil rights to become more accepting of gays as well. Now it is time for the next step in a long progression of American tolerance, by allowing gays to serve in our military in the light of day. It's time.

ATLANTA (AP) -- Jason Heyward singled to cap a three-run rally
and the Atlanta Braves took advantage after the umpires reversed a
call, beating the New York Mets 8-7 Saturday for their sixth
straight win.
The Braves' comeback prevented a shaky R.A. Dickey from getting
his 11th win in a row.
Mets manager Terry Collins was ejected while disputing a call in
Atlanta's two-run fifth.
Third base umpire Dale Scott, the crew chief, initially ruled
left fielder Jordany Valdespin made a diving catch on Heyward's
liner, with Martin Prado trapped while returning to first base for
an apparent inning-ending double play.
But after the umpires conferred, they ruled -- correctly, as
replays showed -- that Heyward's ball bounced. The umpires then
placed Prado safely on second.

This mom had a great beginning of her birth:
We went up to the room and they hooked me up to the machines to monitor the contractions and the baby's heart rate. I continued to relax through what were apparently pretty intense contractions. Evan said the nurse kept looking at me in amazement as the contractions spiked and I just sat there quietly, breathing. The doctor came in at 8:15 to check me and see if the contractions were productive. He popped his head up and said to me "Are you ready to have a baby today?? You're 8 centimeters dilated!" ...Read her full birth story and many more Breech Birth stories here.

Zubin Irani, newly elected Chairman, Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) Northern Region and President, Building and Industrial Systems (India), United Technologies Corporation said here today that the government should reduce the subsidies as percentage of Gross Domestic Product to 1.7 per cent by financial year 2016.
Addressing his maiden press conference as CII northern region chairman, Irani said that the government should evolve ways and means to completely eliminate LPG subsidy by 2017. He said that cutting fertilizer subsidies also merits equal attention. He said that the government should expand the Direct Benefits Transfer scheme through Aadhar to all districts and to benefits for food, kerosene, education, etc. It will be the primary vehicle for subsidy transfer through banks.
When asked that most industry bodies were against continuation of subsidies be that in the farm sector or for certain section of people, he said that the CII view was that there is a need to prioritize the spending on subsidies. Critical sectors like food security do demand subsidies, but it can be withdrawn from other sectors like petroleum etc to bring about a balance.
Zubin Irani refused to comment when asked which state was best to do business amongst the eight states in northern region. He also evaded reply to the question on special concessions to hill states thus not providing a level playing field to other states.
Prior to his first press conference as chairman of CII Northern Region, he gave a detailed presentation on the theme and agenda for 2014-15 for northern region. He spoke about slowdown of domestic growth, inflationary trends and other challenges but hastened to add that economic growth had the potential to rise to eight per cent. He said that contribution of northern region to GDP was 25.6 per cent but it could be more. He lamented that land locked nature of northern states hampered growth to some extent. He talked about focus areas for 2014-15 including development of clusters, to ensure ease to business in northern states, to tap agriculture potential of northern states, development of services sector, Foreign Direct Investmement in multi brand retail, positive governance coupled with sustainability.

Jennifer Finnigan Cast In TNT Medical Drama, Kate Mara Joins Kevin Spacey In House Of Cards
By Leslie Kasperowicz 4 years ago comments
Casting news today brings the first official role cast for the David E. Kelley medical drama Chelsea General over at TNT, as well as an addition to the Kevin Spacey-led Netflix original series House of Cards. The two actresses to nab parts in these series are not strangers to television, and one is making a return to drama after a run in several comedies.
According to Deadline Jennifer Finnigan has been cast in Chelsea General as Dr. Tina Ridgeway. Shes a neurosurgeon and one of five surgeons the story will focus on. The drama is based on the book Monday Mornings by Dr. Sanjay Gupta, the chief medical correspondent for CNN. Finnigan is known for Crossing Jordan and most recently came off the comedy Better With You. She doesnt seem to have been able to find a comedy niche, so this return to drama might be a smart move.
Kate Mara of American Horror Story was cast in House of Cards, the first original series from Netflix which already has Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright on board in leading roles, and is directed by David Fincher. This one comes from a novel by Michael Dobbs, and was already turned into a mini-series in the UK back in 1990.
Its a political thriller in which a US House of Representatives member, Frank Underwood, gets to feeling bitter after losing out on the Secretary of State position and goes after the President. Kevin Spacey will play this lead role, while Robin Wright will play his wife. Mara has come in to play a reporter who will do just about anything to get a good scoop, and gets involved with Underwood. Of mild interest is the fact that Mara is the sister of Rooney Mara, star of the US Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, also directed by Fincher.
With Netflix recovering in the stock market, House of Cards is just one of the exciting projects coming from the streaming leader. Were also waiting on the edge of our seats for the return of Arrested Development, which Netflix is bringing back to the air next year.

My dad tells the story of when I was about 3 and he was driving to my grandparents' house. It wasn't a long drive, maybe 20 minutes, but he said I asked questions the entire way, without even waiting for an answer.
I'm still like that.
Strengthsfinder gives that trait the name "context." I like to know the why of a situation. I hear it in my 8 yr old already. "Mom, I have a question." It drives my husband crazy—don't say you have a question– ask the question!
As I read and considered what to focus on for today's post, I started and stopped many times. I looked at question after question to figure out what to focus on. I looked for a situation or story that I could relate to. And I got more and more frustrated as I typed and deleted because it just didn't seem like I was "getting it."
And then, sadly after days of starting and stopping, I realized I was missing the point of these chapters (John 7-12) completely.
I was focusing on individual questions and stories—the woman caught in sin, the blind man, Lazarus' death—and not paying attention to the answers at all.
Just like that ride with my Dad.
Just like many of those who were following Jesus did. It's so easy be critical of the people who followed him on earth—How could they not see? How could they not understand?
But that's just where I found myself.
The answer that I was missing, again and again, was that Jesus is God! In each situation Jesus found himself in he revealed a little more of his character.
- To the woman caught in adultery—He showed he is the God of forgiveness.
- To the blind man—he is the Lord of the Sabbath.
- To the Pharisees and teachers—he is the Fulfillment of the Law.
- To Lazarus' family and friends—he is the God of all comfort and the God of life!
As I tried to focused on the questions his followers asked what I was really doing was asking two very important questions:
- "How do I fit into this passage?"
- "How does this relate to me?"
In doing so, I was missing the point completely.
The point is this: we serve a God who loves us, who loved me so much, that he became a man, he walked on this earth, and he did so to show me who he was.
I serve a God who forgives; a God who heals; a God who conquers death!
In the busyness of your time and circumstance today don't miss the point like I did. Walk through today giving God the glory for all he does in your life and for all the ways he shows he is God.

I took my nearly 5 year old DB Vlink 3.1 out of storage a couple weeks ago, and while upgrading the groupo, wheels, crankset, etc I noticed cracks on the swingarm, BUMMER!. This has been my favorite all-time bike too. Anyway, I called Diamondback, they sent me to T-Town bikes in Tulsa (the dealer who I bought it from is no longer a dealer). I dug around and found my original sales receipt and found I had bought it 4 years and 10 months ago, the frame is warranted for 5 years.
They sent me a new XLS frameset. And for FREE. No argue, no fussing, absolutely free. Wow. All I can say is that as long as DB is in business I will always look at their bikes first.
And if any of you are from the Tulsa area I can highly recommend T-Town Bikes.
Now my question. The frame they sent me was size large and my old was a medium. I have the new frame ready to go now and it fits, but just barely, as it is just a bit too big for me. What are your preferences for bike size in technical terrain? I've always been told to go smalller but this size feels pretty good to me. My seat is about level with the bars now, was about 2" above the bars on my old frame. I don't know about riding in tough stuff, but on level ground it feels pretty good to sit more upright. Any thoughts?
One more question. I would like to upgrade the rear shock, something with a lockout and I prefer an air shock, any suggestions?

Got a minute?
Can hitting the gym actually help you make more money? Researcher Vasilios Kosteas of Cleveland State University discovered that yes, working out can yield an average of 6 percent higher pay for men and 10 percent higher pay for women. Time to readdress those New Year's resolutions!
Although previous research has linked obesity to lower earnings, Kosteas' study focuses solely on the productivity boosts we get from exercise. You don't need to train like an Olympian to reap the benefits, however. "While even moderate exercise yields a positive earnings effect, frequent exercise generates an even larger impact," writes Kosteas.
Why are fit workers more likely to be productive? Kosteas writes that their discipline and commitment in the gym also makes them "more likely to undertake investments in their human capital and work more diligently, leading to higher potential earnings."
Do you agree with these findings?

through the Westside Vineyard
In a world increasingly marked by distance, separation, superficiality and lonliness, we believe that it's all about relationship. We value those not formally part of our fellowship and we value each other.
This section of our website presents how you can enter more fully into relationship as members of the Westside Vineyard as well as the ongoing ministries of the Westside Vineyard which exist to connect you to others so you may enjoy meaningful relationships which foster personal and spiritual growth.
Those interested in entering more fully into relationship as members of the Westside Vineyard are invited to go beyond attending a worship gathering on Sunday by taking these next steps:
Getting Planted - a course which meets Wednesday evenings for four weeks in a row.
In this class, you get to know us much better, and the heart which drives our church.
At the end of the course, you have the opportunity to express your desire to join the church
and be recognized as a new member of our community. This course is usually offered two times
a year, once in the Spring and once in the Autumn.
Foundations of Spiritual Life - a course which meets Wednesday evenings for two weeks.
In this class, you learn some of the fundamentals of walking with Christ. This course is usually
offered once per year, around the end of Winter.
Baptism Interest Meeting - for those who are interested in professing their following of Christ
through baptism. The meeting, usually held in early Spring, prepares you for baptism, which we
usually administer twice a year - once around Easter and again in mid-Summer.
Discover Your Ministry - God has a specific ideas in mind for how you can best serve Him and
His kingdom. Through this course, which meets Wednesday evenings for three weeks in a row,
you will learn how you are shaped for ministry using your spiritual gifts and natural talents. This
course is a great opportunity to learn more about the various ministries of the Westside Vineyard,
and then get involved in serving others! DYM is usually offered twice a year, once in the
Spring and once in the Autumn.
Leadership Training - for those who are feeling called to lead a ministry through the Westside
Vineyard. This course, which meets once a week for eight weeks, is designed to prepare you for
ministerial leadership. Leadership Training is usually offered once a year, in mid- to late
Summer. Westside Vineyard pastors will contact those interested in Leadership Training in
advance of the course to explore this possibility with them and share the requirements for
joining the training.
Our ongoing ministries include those designed to encourage people of all ages - whether children, youth, young adult or older, whether single, married, or married with kids. Some ministries are designed to address unique issues within the context of just men (for the men), or just women (for the ladies). Some ministry events are mostly for fun (such as the Westside Kids Summer Movie Series) while others are designed for focused spiritual development (such as intensive prayer and Life Transformation Groups).
You will also find a listing and information for our Home Churches and Support Groups. While some of our ongoing ministries are more "event" oriented, our Home Churches and Support Groups meet on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. It's in the context of these groups where you can really get to know other members of the Westside Vineyard and begin to live life together.

Final Fantasy 13-2 DLC Marked Down Fiddy Percent
By Ryan Winslett 4 years ago comments
Now that we know Lightning is going to strike for a third time in the Final Fantasy universe, its time to make doubly sure weve bled FF XIII-2 of every possible scrap of content in preparation for the third, and presumably final, trip to the magically high tech world of Cocoon. That means its time to stock up on DLC and, this week, you can do so on the cheap.
I know the mere mention of anything related to Final Fantasy XIII often receives a series of hisses from long-time series fans but, believe it or not, Lightening and her pals have managed to amass quite the following over the 20,000 years Square Enix has been making the FFXIII games. After XIII-2 launched, the developers also managed to put together a few pieces of DLC to extend your time on Coccoon. All of that has been marked down on the PlaySTation Network and the Xbox Live Marketplace for the next seven days.
The majority of DLC is being marked down by 50 percent, including additional outfits, weapons and coliseum adversaries.
Also getting cut to half-off are the story packs, including Lightning: Requiem of the Goddss, Snow: Perpetual Battlefield, and Sazh: Heads or Tails. Each episode comes with some additional goodies and, if you complete their content, youll unlock each episodes namesake as a playable character in your party.
If you want a little extra info on the individual story packs, then head on over to the official announcement post on the Square Enix blog. Otherwise, youve got a limited time to make your purchasing decision. Begin contemplation now!

How much value will this lack of data and user numbers knock off facebook ?
$5Billion ?
$10Billion ?
Who knows ...im just guessing as well as the valuers of Facebook here ....
The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) is now satisfied that Facebook is letting people escape the bear hug of its data retention policy, it said today. The national data watchdog is to stand down its investigation of the site, a spokeswoman told El Reg today. Facebook attracted the ICO's attention last November after …
How much value will this lack of data and user numbers knock off facebook ?
$5Billion ?
$10Billion ?
Who knows ...im just guessing as well as the valuers of Facebook here ....
I am surprised that the ICO have dropped their investigation. While the information is no longer publicly visible, it is still retained by Facebook and made available to third parties through demographic analysis packages which Facebook sell (I was going to say 'make a profit from' then realised how wrong such a statement would be).
Facebook has a value?! I sure can't see it, monetary or otherwise...
(Veni, vidi, <cough> quitti)
When I closed by account, I wasn't entirely happy with the responses I got. As you can see here - http://www.freeinfidel.com/2008/02/22/facebook_goodbye/ - they never did really answer my questions about aggregated data. And their last reply talked of 'disabled' rather than 'deleted' accounts, though that could have been a mere slip of the keyboard.
"It's just a shame such a small concession to the people it is hoping to build its alleged business on took Facebook so long, really"
People like Zuckerberg (Sugar Mountain?) are narcissic - they feel that the world should conform to them and that anything they do is legitimate just because they do it. So, they just set up their operations based on the "If I do it it must be legal" approach - then get all upset when someone tells them they can't.
I'll bet when the ICO first approached him he would have thrown a "wobbly" where he asked "What the f**k do these jumped up bureaucrats think they're doing telling ME (the great I AM) what to do!". That's why it took so long.
Just declare him as an undesirable alien and make sure he never gets into the UK instead of lauding him as some kind of Web 2.0 hero (whatever Web 2.0 is???).
Or better still: ignore him, ignore Faceplook, get a life and maybe they'll vanish into oblivion.
Isn`t there a little something called the 1998 Data Protection Act? However, I have had cause to try and invoke it in the past and it seems like it`s not worth the parchment it`s scratched on. There seems to be all all sorts of "get-out" clauses, including my favourite soap-box item as to why DVLC are allowed to sell information to so-called private parking enforcement companies. I`m no lawyer but I also understand that data should not be retained for any longer than is necessary, which may be an answer to those who find their details still on record, despite "deleting" their accounts.
I had my facebook account closed by there admin's for some reason. At first they accused me of impersonating an un-named someone else, they they changed there excuse to 'there being some unsuitable content on my profile or in a message I sent'.
This second point concerns me on two points,
1) they are probably reading my private messages
2) they refused to cite the alleged content (I asked for evidence)
Overall it looks as if they had a knee jerk reaction and disabled my account then couldn't come up with a reason after I challenged there initial reason, and they aren't willing to discuss this any further. So I've lost all the contacts and content from my profile now and left frustrated.
Of course they have disabled my account and not deleted it...

Acer beTouch E110 Mobile Phone Review
Introduction and package contents
Unveiled in March this year, the Acer E110 beTouch is offered at an entry-level mobile from the Android. Boarding version 1.5 "Cupcake" of the OS developed by Google, the smartphone developed by Acer offers fairly basic functionality, all for a price more attractive. That is, the Acer beTouch E110 works with Android 1.5, an earlier version of the Google OS that properly reflects its positioning on the entry level. But it has a slab resistive, less reactive than the capacitive and multitouch screens which is not supported. However, the screen is relatively reactive.
Ideal for users with a limited budget it still comes with the functionality of a smartphone from Android. This new Acer beTouch E110 smartphone will be sold in black and dark blue.
Its very aggressive price is 159 Euros TTC without subscription.
The Touch Screen mobile phone offered by Acer is delivered in a box, in which one finds no gross deficiency in terms of accessories.
We thus find :
- AC charger
- USB cable
- A stereo headset
- a CD with an installation manual
- A leaflet
- microSD Memory Card 2GB
- A microSD / SD card
We therefore note with pleasure the presence of a microSD memory card of 2 GB, which can is expandable for the storage capacity of the device (up to 32GB). For the rest, all the accessories seem well made and trimmed for a long-term use. The supplied headphones yet seem to have a questionable sound quality, a flaw that we discuss in more detail throughout this review.
Design and handling
Acer beTouch E110 does not carry a very good looking figure. The manufacturer did not opt for a very eccentric aesthetics and proposes a smartphone and looks somewhat austere.
The 2.8-inch touch screen does not seem very strong and it looks too "plastic" and does not allow finding a real strength. On the screen, you will find the four dedicated tactile controls for navigation. From right to left, button are located for "home", which gives you access to the home screen of your mobile phone, a touch of "search" to perform a quick search on the internet, a touch of "previous" and a menu key is also placed.
Below these four buttons are, drop out and hang up orders are also located. Apart from the directional button, which satisfied the users somewhat is reluctant to touch and everything. On the top of the phone is the 3.5mm jack. On the slices, you find the volume control button, the mini USB and microSD slot. On the back of the phone 3-megapixel sensor is located. There are no covers on this sensors, which makes it very vulnerable to dust.
The screen size is somewhat limited, the keys remain fairly close. Writing text messages can then be likened to a veritable obstacle course for people with finger nails without imposing. Therefore, we may regret the absence of a stylus, which would certainly ease the task to a number of users.
