Are We Wired for Kindness?
As you may already know, FIRST engages in social media, in a plethora of different ways, all in an effort to educate, inspire and connect all those affected with icththyosis. Some days we are greeted with posts and comments that offer new and unexpected skin care tips – other days it might be a mom looking for support, or an affected person who just wants to have their voice heard. And still at other times, social media brings us to the very doorstep of compassionate souls – ones we likely will never even meet – out there in the world, advocating for our members.
As volunteering and fundraising are a big part of our efforts to support the community, a few weeks ago we decided to post an online poll to facebook asking followers to tell us, in a single word – what volunteering actually feels like. Then, we kicked back (only for a minute!) and watched as comment after comment filed in. So, today after weeks of analogy, contemplation, and discussion, we are happy to announce, that social media has now served us in a new and exciting way. It helped support a theory; one that we can now confidently and indisputably share with you, right here, right now.
{Insert drum roll} Doing good…feels good!
Yes, that's it. That's our theory. Wait…don't leave! We have since found out that our theory is simply a scratch on the surface of a much bigger, broader, biology-based, "do good" theory! In fact, did you know that there is a biochemical reason for helper's high?
We've even found someone who has dedicated his work and his life to researching this very theory and we are happy to welcome guest blogger, Dr. David R. Hamilton, PhD, a friend of FIRST, scientist, speaker and the author of 'Why Kindness is Good for You' and 'The Contagious Power of Thinking', and the creator of the popular blog "Using Science to Inspire."
The 5 Side Effects of Kindness
by David R. Hamilton PhD
When we think of side effects the first thing that springs to mind are the side effects of drugs. But who'd have thought that kindness could have side effects too?
Well, it does! And positive ones at that.
1) Kindness Makes us Happier
When we do something kind for someone else, we feel good. On a spiritual level, many people feel that this is because it is the right thing to do and so we're tapping into something deep and profound inside of us that says, 'This is who I am.' On a biochemical level, it is believed that the good feeling we get is due to elevated levels of the brain's natural versions of morphine and heroin, which we know as endogenous opioids. They cause elevated levels of dopamine in the brain and so we get a natural high, often referred to as 'Helper's High'.
2) Kindness Gives us Healthier Hearts
Acts of kindness are often accompanied by emotional warmth. Emotional warmth produces the hormone, oxytocin, in the brain and throughout the body. Of recent interest is its significant role in the cardiovascular system. Oxytocin causes the release of a chemical called nitric oxide in blood vessels, which dilates (expands) the blood vessels. This reduces blood pressure and therefore oxytocin is known as a 'cardioprotective' hormone because it protects the heart (by lowering blood pressure). The key is that acts kindness can produce oxytocin and therefore kindness can be said to be cardioprotective.
3) Kindness Slows Ageing
Ageing on a biochemical level is a combination of many things, but two culprits that speed the process are Free Radicals and Inflammation, both of which result from making unhealthy lifestyle choices.
But remarkable research now shows that oxytocin (that we produce through emotional warmth) reduces levels of free radicals and inflammation in the cardiovascular system and so slows ageing at source. Incidentally these two culprits also play a major role in heart disease so this is also another reason why kindness is good for the heart.
There have also been suggestions in the scientific journals of the strong link between compassion and the activity of the vagus nerve. The vagus nerve, as well as regulating heart rate, also controls inflammation levels in the body. One study that used the Tibetan Buddhist's 'Loving Kindness Compassion' meditation found that kindness and compassion did, in fact, reduce inflammation in the body, mostly likely due to its effects on the vagus nerve.
4) Kindness Makes for Better Relationships
This is one of the most obvious points. We all know that we like people who show us kindness. This is because kindness reduces the emotional distance between two people and so we feel more 'bonded'. It's something that is so strong in us that it's actually a genetic thing. We are wired for kindness.
Our evolutionary ancestors had to learn to cooperate with one another. The stronger the emotional bonds within groups, the greater were the chances of survival and so 'kindness genes' were etched into the human genome. So today when we are kind to each other we feel a connection and new relationships are forged, or existing ones strengthened.
5) Kindness is Contagious
When we're kind we inspire others to be kind and studies show that it actually creates a ripple effect that spreads outwards to our friends' friends' friends – to 3-degrees of separation. Just as a pebble creates waves when it is dropped in a pond, so acts of kindness ripple outwards touching others' lives and inspiring kindness everywhere the wave goes. A recent scientific study reported than an anonymous 28-year-old person walked into a clinic and donated a kidney. It set off a 'pay it forward' type ripple effect where the spouses or other family members of recipients of a kidney donated one of theirs to someone else in need. The 'domino effect', as it was called in the New England Journal of Medicine report, spanned the length and breadth of the United States of America, where 10 people received a new kidney as a consequence of that anonymous donor.
This information and all scientific references can be found in more detail in my books, 'Why Kindness is Good for You' (Hay House, 2010) and 'The Contagious Power of Thinking' (Hay House, 2011).

I'm always amazed that my appetites change right along with the seasons. It's clockwork; the last days of summer are turning to fall and I feel it from my first step outside in the morning, when there's a chill in the air that wasn't the day before.
Dinner starts to require something more than just a salad + something off the grill, and I'll be thinking about what to cook at 4 o'clock rather than the relaxed summer schedule that sometimes doesn't start until after 6…or whenever.
Polenta is often what I make when that fall feeling hits. I'm generous with butter and Parmesan cheese because they are made for each other (face it, polenta would be bland without it), tempered by a happy amount of roasted vegetables. It's all good.
- 1 each red, yellow and orange bell peppers, seeded and diced
- 1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- 3 small or 2 medium-sized zucchini, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 cup polenta or coarse cornmeal
- 1 – 2 teaspoons salt
- ½ cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons butter
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Combine the peppers, tomatoes, onion, olive oil and ½ teaspoon salt and pepper on a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast until beginning to soften and turn brown, 15-20 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven, add the zucchini, garlic, thyme and balsamic vinegar. Return the pan to the oven and continue roasting 10 more minutes, or until the zucchini is bright green and slightly tender (not mushy).
- Meanwhile, bring 3 cups of water to a boil in a heavy saucepan. Gradually pour the polenta into the water while whisking at the same time. Add 1 teaspoon salt. Lower the heat to a slow simmer and continue to cook the polenta about 20 minutes or until it thickens and begins to pull away from the sides of the pan, stirring frequently so it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan. Stir in the cheese and butter and add additional salt to taste if needed.
- Serve the polenta in bowls with the roasted vegetables and their juices over the top; sprinkle with additional cheese if you like.

TheEyes - Thursday, June 28, 2012 - linkAs far as I'm concerned, every article on keyboards should link to the mechanical keyboard guide on Overclock.net:
It's a very useful guide to all the different types of switches, how they work, and which are best for particular applications. Reply

SilthDraeth - Thursday, June 28, 2012 - linkWas hoping this was good. I have the k60 and so far only issues I have, aside from the fading keys, which they fixed with an RMA I now still occasionally get the key repeating bug, and or double spaces. I can live with it though.
Was hoping Thermaltake had an improved keyboard, but it seems the do not. Reply
Dustin Sklavos - Thursday, June 28, 2012 - linkI get the key repeating bug, but I got that on my old Microsoft Reclusa too. At this point I've just resigned myself to it being a fact of USB. Reply
Aikouka - Thursday, June 28, 2012 - linkI have the repeated keypress issue on my Corsair Vengeance K90 as well. Sometimes it's fairly minor, but I've had it to where it entered at least two dozen of the same character into a message. You mention that it must be a USB issue, but I never saw this problem before my K90, and I used an original Logitech G15 for quite a few years. I wonder if it could be some weird issue with the software (in the keyboard) that controls the anti-ghosting.
One thing that has struck me as weird about the K90... I've actually performed a firmware upgrade on it. I never thought that I'd ever have to perform a firmware upgrade *on a keyboard*. Reply
swx2 - Thursday, June 28, 2012 - linkO_o I wasn't even aware that there was a firmware update out for the K90... must get! What does it fix? Reply
SilthDraeth - Thursday, June 28, 2012 - linkIt is supposed to fix the repeating key bug. But it doesn't entirely.

My bud uses a Razer BlackWidow and never has had an issue either. Looks like I'll wait for the next revision before springing on a Corsair keyboard.. Reply
SilthDraeth - Thursday, June 28, 2012 - linkCooler Master CM Storm QuickFire Rapid SGK-4000-GKCL1-US USB or PS/2 Wired Gaming Mechanical Cherry Blue Switches Keyboard
Uses Cherry blue switches, looks well made. I almost bought one, but the K60 was on sale for $20 less.
Still not sure I made the right decision. Reply
Dustin Sklavos - Thursday, June 28, 2012 - linkHonestly it looks like it'd basically be comparable to Rosewill's RK-9000 with the same Cherry MX Blue switches we reviewed. It looks almost identical, just without the number pad. Reply
canontk - Thursday, June 28, 2012 - linkThere's a lot more to a keyboard than looks and having the same switches. One could argue that my Leopold tenkeyless with MX Browns is exactly the same as my Filco tenkeyless with MX browns, but they feel almost completely different.
The build quality and it's components (plate mounted, key caps, etc.) are what make the difference.
If you really want a nice Cherry MX keyboard then I recommend Filco, yes it's worth the price difference. Reply
althaz - Thursday, June 28, 2012 - linkDustin, you need to test a keyboard with Cherry MX Brown switches. They are most people's ultimate choice for a gaming and typing keyboard. Reds are a frequent runner-up as, like you mentioned, they are basically a lighter Black switch. Reply
joel4565 - Thursday, June 28, 2012 - linkYeah according to the link TheEye's posted they do recommend MX Brown as the best compromise between typing and gaming. Looking on newegg though, it looks fairly uncommon with only 5 listings. Two by Daskeyboard at ~ 150 a brand I never heard of as well as a Rosewill and Coolermaster.
The Coolermaster actually looks like a pretty nice keyboard on paper at ~ 100: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8...
Dustin, any chance you might be able to test the Coolmaster SGK-4010-GKCM1-US? Reply
MrSpadge - Thursday, June 28, 2012 - linkAgreed. I've got the Zowie Celeritas with MX Brown and find them much better than any MX Black I've tested (not many, though). Reply
jigglywiggly - Thursday, June 28, 2012 - linkonly cherry mx red is good
i even think it has slightly too much resistence
i want super cherry mx red
i couldn't imagine having more resistence
but then again i type at like 140wpm Reply
Jakeisbest - Thursday, June 28, 2012 - linkCherry corp has announced they they are making an even lighter switch, i think the announcement was at the CES tradeshow. Reply
cmdrdredd - Thursday, June 28, 2012 - linkAnything lighter and you'll have way too many misfires. No thanks. Reply
AssBall - Friday, June 29, 2012 - linkYou type at "like 140wpm".
When you ignore spelling and punctuation and capitalization.
I can type "like 140 WPM" of junk too... Reply
IlllI - Thursday, June 28, 2012 - linkcompletely ruins it. Reply
fishbits - Thursday, June 28, 2012 - link"While the aggressively loud and wonderfully clicky Cherry MX Blue switches in Rosewill's RK-9000 leave a lasting and indelible impression as being ideal for any serious typing (and not sensitive enough for gaming)"
Disagree. I've had two makes of keyboard with Cherry Blues and they've been fine for gaming, and not just RTS. The clickity audio aesthetic isn't the best mesh for things like FPSs, but gaming was no problem. That includes Mirror's Edge ;)
I did get a Rosewill with Cherry Browns recently, and like others are saying, it is really good for gaming and typing. Nice, quiet "thunk" feeling to them... but a lot lighter than that. Just satisfying to use. I've yet to try blacks or reds, but am picturing the browns as close to ideal for all-around use to me. Reply
Belard - Thursday, June 28, 2012 - linkThese keyboards are aimed at gamers? The tiny one as the worst layout... moving the ? key over? there is no reason for it. Just leave it where it is... stick the shit key where it belongs.
The middle keyboard, almost got it... +/- for the points made.
The Meka G-Unit is something I am almost interested in. First, I actually PREFER the L-shaped ENTER key. My keyboard was made in 1996... its no longer made... and is white(ish). Todays black keyboards are hard to read at night too.
Anyway, my layout is similar to the Meka G-Unit but they screwed it up by moving the RIGHT shift KEY way over to the right. (Again 3 different keyboards with 3 totally different layouts? I think these come from different suppliers). Finding a keyboard with both a BIG-L enter key and BIG Backspace key is rare. On mine, they stuck the :\ key (rarely use) to the right of the RIGHT shift key and of course made R-Shift a bit smaller. I think that's a perfect layout.
- BIG backspace
- BIG Enter Key
I'd go with this island keylayout... BIG Delete key, but keep the HOME/END Page UP/Down keys where they are. (toss out the Pause/break key, its a Fn or CTRL key combo on Scroll Lock).
- not all keys light up... why not ALL and selective? Or how about multi-colored user control. Some keys red, some white, some blue, etc?
- Not all players use WASD control. I use a mouse for all movements. Keyboard to fire. Reply
cmdrdredd - Thursday, June 28, 2012 - linkWASD is the accepted norm and just about every competitive FPS player uses it because if you use your mouse to move, you can't aim for shit. Reply
Belard - Thursday, June 28, 2012 - linkFunny... my AIM is quite good with the mouse.
The keyboard has 4 directions for moving. My mouse moves quite well. My tigger finger isn't interacting with the mouse.
Mouse = Mouse view and movement direction... I can run at angles and circles that you can't do with WASD. The LEFT button = move forward. RIGHT button = move backwards. My logitech has two side buttons, I have these set to STRAFE <left and right>.
CTRL key = Primary fire
Shift key = secondary fire (grenade)
ASDFG keys = Weapons keys. (also mouse wheel)
Z = zoom
XCVB = various controls keys.
I never touch the right side of the keyboard.
On my ONLINE FPS games... I'm usually in the top 3-4 in scoring/kills.
Its fine that people use WASD, as long as I have the option to make it work for me. Reply
perspicacity - Friday, June 29, 2012 - linkGood to know I'm not the only one who use the mouse for movement. I've tried to get used to using WASD for movement, because it's the default for most games these days... but it just feels so clumsy for me.
Mostly it's a bit of an old dog / new trick sort of thing... I'm too lazy to learn a new style of play.
I think the WASD choice came about because of similarity to console games... my style came about because that's how games were set up in the earliest FPS's.
left button = fire
right button = forward
back button = backward (extra button on mouse) Reply
Porksmuggler - Thursday, June 28, 2012 - linkI have the base Meka, and yes the layout is odd, but that's i-rocks doing (they made the board before Thermaltake rebranded it).
The reason I use it? It's the only compact mechanical with tenkey and 2 usb ports. Unless someone knows of another. I would love a standard tenkey compact with usb ports in a more standard layout. Reply
Belard - Thursday, June 28, 2012 - linkLOL! I expected they bought something else.... Hence the 3 totally different keyboard layouts.
For the most part, Logitech keys its keyboards the same, as does Microsoft. Reply
6x9equals42 - Friday, June 29, 2012 - linkI Just got a Das Keyboard S with Cherry MX blues and couldn't be happier. It's at my workstation so I haven't tried it for gaming, but I could definitely see the advantages of red or black switches for that. I would be interested to see a review of the Das Keyboard Silent or another keyboard with the MX brown switches for comparison. Reply
jgrnt1 - Friday, June 29, 2012 - linkI'm not sure how they stack up for gaming, as I'm just a casual gamer, but I'm a big fan of Unicomp's keyboards. They are the direct descendants of IBM's Selectric typewriter keyboards.
I had an old IBM keyboard for a long time and when it finally died, I found Unicomp. I have the Classic 104 in black. Also note that most of their keyboards come with a choice of USB or PS/2 connectors:

sjc1017 - Saturday, June 30, 2012 - linkI type at least 3000 words everyday on my lap top, can someone please tell me what are the advantages of these keyboards? Reply
cj145 - Saturday, June 30, 2012 - linkDo you guys ever plan to review mechanical keyboards from companies that have been doing it for years (Deck, Filco, Das, etc)? I like that you started to review them, it's just I have not seen one keyboard reviewed that is built like a true mechanical KB should be; like a brick and designed to outlast everything else. All of these new TT, Corsair, etc keyboards feel flimsy and cheap in comparison. Reply
tinspinner - Saturday, July 07, 2012 - linkI'm using a mech4 Levetron keyboard that uses cherry black MX switches. It's an interesting keyboard because the keypad can be removed from the right side and put on the left. It still has a solid feel and locks into place. It also has an additional 6 key macro add on that plugs into the spare usb port, yes it's usb, ps2 doesn't work. The addon slides on a rail allowing positioning over any part of the main keys, but covers part of the function keys when down in position. It's a flipup style addon. This keyboard is rarely heard of as it is rather unusual. The keys have a standard layout otherwise but the back space key is painted with an arrow(but is back space) and is the size of a standard key, which doesn't affect my typing though it might some)
Anyhow when I first used the keyboard I liked the feel for typing better than my razer black widow ultimate (I believe cherry blue MX keys, don't quote me though). The higher actuation force doesn't bother me but I like the linear smooth feel in actuation. I almost always bottom out when typing on either keyboard. (Heavy hands, long fingers). Reply
burkeden - Monday, July 16, 2012 - linkI can only comment on my experience, but I had MAJOR issues with Razer's build quality and support process (i.e. - I strongly discourage others from making my mistake of going with a Razer keyboard)
The only place you can buy Razer's BWUS keyboard is directly from Razer online. Let me summarize my experience and let you be the judge:
May 8, I ordered the BWUS keyboard from the only place you can get it - the Razer store.
It came to me with the backlit key feature defective. I immediately contacted support expecting a replacement to be shipped. I had to first take photos and send them in, wait several days, and then be told I need to return it and wait 2 weeks for the replacement. I was very unhappy but did just that.
What I got back on July 2 (nearly 2 months after placing my order) was a dirty unit, in a bent and torn box, completely missing the left shift key. I thought this was a screw up of epic proportions, but I was sure Razer would correct this very quickly. Well, after relaying the story I was told to send pictures of the missing key!!!! Are you serious? You don't believe me when I say it is missing a key? Or even worse, you are trying to determine from the photo if you can send a new key and have my insert it. Forget the fact I ordered a new keyboard and have now been sent a used one.
And finally I did get the email confirmation that they are going to send a key that I can hopefully just pop in, and that I can just clean the keyboard??? lol - I could not make this up.
ps - they keyboard itself is decent if you get a new and working one. BUT IF YOU DON'T, YOU CAN ONLY CONTACT RAZER SUPPORT THROUGH EMAIL WHICH TAKES 2-3 DAYS TO GET A RESPONSE AND AS EVIDENCED ABOVE, THEY ONLY TAKE THE BARE MINIMUM STEPS TO GET YOUR PRODUCT FUNCTIONING. Reply

The wafel cookie is great noot to sweet not to chrunchy, well not crunchy at all. The buttery goodness of this cookie will make you melt. <Beware: Addictive>

North Coast businesses rally in opposition to Eureka attorney's practice
The Humboldt County Courthouse was full of movement Friday as people rallied in opposition to Jason Singleton's law practice. Singleton has sued upwards of 250 businesses for not being in compliance with the Americans With Disabilities Act.
"It does make me personally upset because I grew up in community and in this county and to see these guys come in here and destroy all these small businesses is just not right," James Blount said.
Blount organized the rally outside the courthouse. He said that Jason K. Singleton is a 'small business killer.' Blount believes that Singleton is taking advantage of the system for profit, rather than helping people with disabilities.
"Nobody told him— said 'you're in violation of this right here, why don't you guys fix this up and we'll come back and have a look?' No, they just throw the lawsuit on," Blount said.
Porter Street Barbecue in Arcata was one of the most recent businesses to be sued. Owner Scott Seeley said he had to close his doors in November after settling for $8,000.
"Going to court— who knows how much that would have cost," Seeley said. "So we just settled. I just settled to get out from under it."
He adds that the only notice he got was a generic letter that didn't explain why his business was incompliant.
"Why wouldn't somebody just come up and say 'hey I had a problem,' so I could address the situation," Seeley said.
Stu Russell was at the protest and said he has a disability. He believes the point of the act is to make accommodations for people.
"The first thing you do if you have a problem is to talk to the owner," Russell said. "You don't go to an attorney and start a lawsuit where it's the first time the business owner knows about it."
Russell adds that what Singleton is doing is offensive.
"This guy isn't trying to solve a problem," Russell said. "He's trying to line his pockets."
We reached out to Singleton on the matter and even talked to him briefly on the phone, but lost connection. He didn't return calls or a request for a statement. Meanwhile, the protester's statement is clear:
"Hopefully Jason Singleton will have a second look before he files more suits here and he'll just lay off for a while until we get something fixed up," Blount said.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/11/2012 (1731 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: Six years ago, in the heat of a terrible argument, I told my wife she had a "fat butt" and she said: "Well, I can lose the weight, but you are a lousy kisser and nothing can fix that." She angrily went to Weight Watchers and lost the fat behind for good. She's skinny now, and we never had that second child we'd planned, either. I'm still haunted by the statement that I'm a lousy kisser. We rarely kiss more than a peck, but she appears to be satisfied in bed. How lousy can I be? She has never apologized, nor have I. I know that it's been six years and it's too late, but how do I phrase it to not make more trouble? "Remember your big bum? I liked, it too." She would sneer at that. When I once told her, "It was nice of you to lose the weight," she said, "I didn't do it for you. I did it for other guys to look at." Things are good technically in bed, and I know she thinks I'm a great dad, but there isn't the same closeness and we never experiment with anything that would involve my seeing her undressed from behind. And why does she take pills against having a second child? -- In the Cold, Tuxedo
Dear Cold: Your wife doesn't feel safe gaining baby weight with you. A second child would mean a gain and a bigger bottom for a while. Apologies can be very powerful and healing. Even six years later, an insult can be dissolved or softened. But personal apologies have to be made eye-to-eye with no excuses like "If you hadn't..." or "But you should have..." Consider something this: "I'm sorry about the stupid thing I said to you six years ago about your bottom. I was angry and shot off my big mouth. I didn't really mean it in the first place. She will say, "Oh yes, you did, because you thanked me for losing the weight." Then you say, "Well, I was an immature idiot back then, and I am deeply, deeply sorry." Some apologies need to be repeated, so say it every few days, even get down on your knees a few times (with a grin on your face) until it becomes a joke. Only after she gets past this, can you ask her what you do that makes you a lousy kisser. She may say, "Nothing! I just wanted to get you back!" or she may say, "Well you could do this and this differently." No arguments from you! Just say, "Describe or show me exactly what technique you like." If you can repair the trust, she may even go for a second baby with you.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I've been dating a wonderful sweet, kind caring man whom I love with all my heart. But, we had a lot of jealousy issues at the beginning of our relationship -- his jealousy. I never did anything to cause any of these issues. Now I feel almost like I am in a friendship rather than a relationship. We hang out every day, talk about almost everything, but no romance. We haven't had sex in almost a year. He says it's him, not me, and that he doesn't have the desire. I wonder what his true feelings are. I've gained about 25 pounds since meeting him. I honestly think this is an issue for him and he's just too kind to say anything. He injured his shoulder two years ago at work and hasn't been back to work since. Every time I mention sex, he has another ache or pain. I'm tempted to start looking for a sex buddy on the side. I feel he's not attracted; we don't even kiss. However, he always tells me how beautiful he thinks I am. Please help. -- Getting Mixed Messages, Winnipeg
Dear Mixed Messages: You're not married to this guy, and he hasn't worked out. By definition, you two are friends but not love partners. Instead of getting yourself a sex buddy, which would feed right into his jealousy issues once he saw you with the look women get when they are turned on to somebody, break off this non-sexual relationship. Look for a totally new boyfriend who is all things to you. The 25 pounds is not the issue, just as it wasn't in the letter above. The spirit of 100 per cent trust has never been established with you two. Leave a jealousy issue unresolved and the trust is just not there for the sex to happen! Either get some counselling with this man and finally communicate about everything, or pack it in. Don't waste another year!

Samsung and Apple allowed to add products to lawsuit, such as the Apple iPhone 5 and the Samsung Galaxy S III
0. phoneArena posted on 15 Nov 2012, 23:15
Both Apple and Samsung are being allowed by U.S. Magistrate Judge Paul Grewal, to add a number of new products to another Apple-Samsung patent suit; Samsung will be allowed to add the Apple iPhone 5 while Apple can add the Samsung Galaxy S III, the Samsung GALAXY Note 10.1 and the Android 4.1 OS...

I think SS should not agree to trial by jury this time, ordinary people in the jury will act on their prejudice and Apple is US company, SS is not
20. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Samsung wasn't well-served by their trial counsel in the lawsuit heard by judge Koh. They should have pursued a trial strategy based on invalidating Apple's patents. Google pursued an invalidity strategy in Oracle v. Google and cleaned Oracle's clock.
Where the company is based has very little impact on a jury in CA. San Jose has a very diverse jury pool. Texas or Arizona might be another matter, though.
24. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
Or perhaps somewhere in the midwest. There's less a sense of "gotta have it" for phones, as they're not used as frequently in public as on the coasts, and there's less walking around (like NYC where you walk or taxi everywhere), so they'lre less of a status symbol and more of a tool. Granted there's still a strong sense of patriotism, but also of fair play and justice, and presenting facts that apple doesn't manufacture in the US (Samsung does) and apple has a third party make all of its products in China (though I think Foxconn is building a factory in Brazil) would resonate with the jury members and remove any "home field advantage".
In theory, anyway.
28. VZWuser76 (Posts: 4783; Member since: 04 Mar 2010)
You've never been to the Midwest have you? I live here. While we may not have the population of the coasts, people are just as obsessed about mobile as anywhere else. Any store by the big 4 carriers is usually packed. I currently live in a town with a population of 1500, and the smartphone vs regular phones is around 50/50. I don't quite get the status symbol/tool comment. I am obsessed with mobile, because they are great tools. Currently I've got 3 smartphones, a tablet, & a couple laptops.
Sorry if I'm coming off as a d**k, but it bugs me when people say something about where I live that's untrue.

Might as well have said "Samsung and apple allowed to add fuel to the fire". Samsung needs to win in order to make the tide turn in the consumers' favor. Losing will give apple another incentive to continue on its lawsuit rampage.

Both sides should sign a licensing agreement to put an end to litigation in the tech industry.

No way. HTC did it because they are spineless. Samsung did nothing wrong and they have as much right as Apple to protect their intellectual properties.

They tried to do that but couldn't agree on pricing terms.

Apple is just frustrated. Jellybean is ages ahead of iOS.
22. Aeires (unregistered)
If they have to reveal all the paperwork mentioned in the first trial, I'm willing to bet Apple will drop this lawsuit. Keeping their true profit information secret is worth more than $1 billion they won the first time. If you take into account Samsung will be allowed to use all their prior art, it's doubtful Apple will win, or if they do, they won't be getting as much this time at it. Keeping the public in the dark on how much they really overpay for iProducts is worth a lot more to their image and retaining loyal customers.
23. ronjr123 (Posts: 87; Member since: 16 Feb 2012)
Just hope SS doesn't use the same group of lawyers. If they do, hopefully they have learned their lesson. Jury foreman issues aside, I still think SS lost that last trial on their own.
One can only hope they would allow video cameras with live streaming! Of course Apple would never allow that.

how cute are these two? we spent a morning down at the embarcadero, and it was a stroke of luck to find a vintage yellow f-street car to provide a perfect setting for this cheerful engagement photos.
these are just a small handful of my favorites, and guess what: there are more of these lovebirds coming up next week! we also used the legion of honor and baker beach as backgrounds for this truly san francisco-themed shoot.

I've always just used charcoal with good enough results. Now I'd like to grill over wood.
Is it really just as simple as replacing charcoal with wood for fuel??
I've tried just that , but its just too fustrating. Flare ups, inconsistent heat, and it burns out faster than charcoal. What am I doing wrong? Should I chuck the chunks and go for soaked chips to get that smokey flavor?

|Vitamin D (25-hydroxyvitamin D2 and D3)
|Test Information:
|Summary: This test provides quantitative analysis of plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 levels for diagnosis of vitamin D deficiency, differential diagnosis of causes of rickets, and management of vitamin D therapy/patient compliance.
Vitamin D is a family of fat-soluble compounds derived either from cholesterol or ergosterol. Vitamin D is obtained from diet, and we can make it when exposed to ultraviolet radiation found in sunlight. The vitamin D that we make ourselves and that which we get from animal food sources is vitamin D3, or cholecalciferol, which is made from cholesterol. The vitamin D that we obtain from invertebrates and plants is vitamin D2, which is made from ergosterol. Once absorbed into the body, the vitamin D is rapidly hydroxylated by the liver, producing hydroxy vitamin D, which is then transported in the blood. The measurement of this plasma or serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D represents a good measure of the total vitamin D status of an individual.
Accumulating evidence demonstrates that vitamin D deficiency is highly prevalent worldwide. In its clinical practice guideline published in 2011, The Endocrine Society recommends using the serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level to evaluate vitamin D status in patients who are at risk for vitamin D deficiency. Measurement of 25(OH)-vitamin D2 monitors the supplementation and exogenous intake of vitamin D; whereas 25(OH)-vitamin D3 is a measure of endogenous vitamin D.
Vitamin D levels have routinely been determined using immunoassays for many years and often provide inconsistent results. These assays suffer from cross-reactivity of the antibodies used and the inability to differentiate 25(OH)-D2 from 25(OH)-D3. Measurement of 25(OH)-vitamin D2 monitors the supplementation and exogenous intake of of vitamin D; whereas 25(OH)-vitamin D3 is a measure of endogenous vitamin D. This procedure uses Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC) coupled with multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) tandem mass spectrometry to differentiate and quantify the analytes. Our assay measures 25-hydroxyvitamin D2 and D3 by UPLC-MS/MS with an isotopic internal standard. Reference material (SRM 972 Vitamin D in Human Serum) from National Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST) is used for the assay calibration. This procedure is the gold standard for diagnosing vitamin D deficiency and monitoring vitamin D supplementation.

ELMWOOD School pupils received certificates from Avon and Somerset Police Chief Constable Nick Gargan after completing an e-safety course.
Ch Cons Gargan attended the Bridgwater school for children with complex learning needs to teach them about the importance of online safety.
During their work they looked at issues including security, safe behaviours, on-line bullying, digital footprints, the reliability of websites and copyright.
Ch Cons Gargan said: "I was delighted to have been able to award these certificates. The internet and social media channels are fantastic resources and present many fun and exciting learning and social opportunities.
"However, we need to keep in mind that sadly the world online is the same as the real world and there are risks we need to be aware of and take steps to minimise.
"It sounds like it has been a lot of fun and will hopefully mean they are able to enjoy the internet safely and responsibly both in school and at home."
Melanie Marshall, deputy head teacher of the Elmwood and Penrose Federation, said: "Year ten and 11 pupils were delighted when Chief Constable Gargan came in to assembly to present their certificates.
"He reinforced the importance of using technologies safely whilst learning, communicating and having fun."

State of Mind A California Invitational
6 Feb, 2010 - 6 Jun, 2010
State of Mind: A California Invitational is a celebration of California photography in the 21st century.
In creating the exhibition, MoPA invited forty California-based curators, writers, gallery owners, and publishers to nominate photographers of note. MoPA juried the exhibition from this collective, selecting twenty-two California photographers for the exhibition:
Susan Anderson, Uta Barth, Stephen Berkman, Brian Forrest, Corina Gamma, Jim Goldberg, Ken Gonzales-Day, Todd Hido, Soo Kim, Mona Kuhn, Claudia Kunin, Michael Light, Chris McCaw, Brad Moore, Han Nguyen, Ken Ohara, Trevor Paglen, Nigel Poor, Susan Rankaitis, Liza Ryan, Catherine Wagner, & James Welling.
While regional by way of where these photographers live, the issues within the photographs from State of Mind are global. Together, they address what photographers from Berlin to Beijing are currently thinking about, among them: how photography continually re-invents itself, and how well it can describe the imaginary or reveal the invisible.

The Peckforton Cyclone
On the evening of 27th October 1913, Stonehouse Lane, on the eastern side of the Peckforton Hills, was battered by the freak 'Peckforton Cyclone'.
According to a contemporary eyewitness, a dark column of spinning air approached from the south, accompanied by thunder, lightning and torrential rain. During four violent hours, Castlegate Farm, below Beeston Castle, lost its roof, hundreds of mature trees were uprooted, several cattle killed, and a local man hurled sixty metres into his neighbour's orchard.
This contemporary postcard is one of a series of twelve showing the eerie aftermath of the storm.Written by abowerman on March 8, 2012 – 5:29 pm -

The Good
1) The X Division Tournament showcased some great wrestling, as TNA fans have come to expect from the X Division. Kenny King and Zema Ion put on a great, fast paced match that was one of the better ones of the night. The spot where Kenny King tried to land a corkscrew on Ion over the top rope and missed, and Ion followed up with a super fast Somersault Plancha was awesome. TNA needs more matches like that.
2) The return of an overhauled TNA Gut Check with two wrestlers instead of one was a welcome change. It breathed a bit of fresh air into the segment in such a way that it made it interesting and fun to watch again.
3) Watching Sting get some revenge on Aces and Eights was very satisfying, even if Aces and Eights have gotten stale (more on that in a second). It was also pretty cool to see Sting use the hammer that injured Kurt Angle and use it on Knox. It felt like a victory.
The Bad
1) Robbie E. and Robbie T. have incredibly cheesy gimmicks and I can never take them serious, despite how they perform in the ring. Watching them complain about how Jersey Shore got canceled doesn't help things either.
Furthermore, the fist pumping dance segment with Miss Tessmacher after her and Robbie T.'s match was just ridiculous. Miss Tessmacher passing out after the kiss did evoke a slight laugh though.
2) Aces and Eight's time has come and gone. Every week they get worse and worse, and their believability as an unstoppable force gets further tainted. For instance, once again, all it took for Aces and Eights to clear out of the arena at the end of the show was Bully Ray running up to them. Granted, he did have a chain, but still. Ray didn't even attack all of them; he hit one other wrestler. They could have easily swarmed him, and then made off with Brooke Hogan and had a much more interesting story line.
This would even fix up the whole Hogan/Ray feud, as the two would be forced to band together to take on Aces and Eights and save Brooke. But no, instead Aces and Eights gets worse, and the fans are forced to endure the next thing on this list.
3) When was the last time a wedding in wrestling went well? Macho Man and Miss Elizabeth, terrible. Stephanie McMahon and Test, terrible. Billy and Chuck, terrible. AJ Lee and Daniel Bryan, terrible. Not only are wrestling weddings cheesy and drawn about, but also they are predictable as can be.
So, to see Bully Ray propose to Brooke Hogan had wrestling fans everywhere shaking their heads. Way to take a page out of WWE's book TNA.

Tyra Banks was spotted in NYC over the weekend shooting a commercial for her talk show, promoting the move of the show from Los Angeles to New York. Remember back when she was hot? Before she opened her mouth and everybody realized they hated her? I mean, she still looks pretty good when you can't hear her, but even that's getting kind of iffy. Check out her thighs. I'm not calling her fat, but if a pie ever suddenly goes missing you'd probably want to question her first.

The future of an iconic statue looks bright after a conservation specialist was brought in to make it beautiful again.
The William Forster statue is currently being examined to see how much work might be needed to bring it back to its former glory.
The statue of the renowned education pioneer has been kept in storage since being removed from its location in Forster Square, Bradford, nine years ago.
But the plan is for it to be restored to its former glory in readiness for being installed close to one of the main entrances of the new Westfield shopping centre.
It will face the shopping centre once it is built and will be seen against the backdrop of St Peter's House as people leave Westfield and head towards Little Germany.
Bradford Council leader Councillor David Green spoke of the statue's importance to the city.
He said: "We are all looking forward to seeing the William Forster statue see daylight again. We have brought in a conservation specialist to ensure the statue is kept in good condition. It is a very important landmark for the city and holds a special place in the hearts of many Bradfordians."
William Forster was born in Dorset, but made a name for himself in the woollen manufacturing industry in Bradford, where he also became an MP.
Before becoming an MP he had set up an elected Board of Health in Burley-in-Wharfedale, which led to many sanitary improvements for the village. A successful industrialist, his partnership with William Fison began in Bradford where they created a successful worsted manufacturing business.
They came to Greenholme in 1850 and Forster and his wife Jane made their home in Burley.
He was largely responsible for the 1870 Elementary Education Act, which was the first National Education Act in this country.
A dedication ceremony was held in October last year for a new headstone at God's Acre cemetery in Burley where Forster is buried.
The original headstone on the grave was made of Carrara marble, but had weathered badly and disintegrated. Descendants of Forster's four adopted children were among those who contributed to the fund for the new granite headstone.

An attack on opposite-sex marriage, movement on anti-bullying bills and the removal of protections for LGBT teens from a suicide prevention bill marked this, the 15th week of the Texas Legislature's 20-week regular session.
On Friday morning , April 15, urgent alerts went out from state and national transgender advocacy groups asking Texans to call Democratic members of the Senate and urge them to oppose Senate Bill 723. The bill would remove a court-ordered "change of sex" from the list of identifying documents which Texans can use to obtain a marriage license, potentially voiding all opposite-sex marriages in Texas where one partner has changed their legally recognized sex.
The alert was caused by the placement of SB 723 on the Senate's "intent calendar" for Monday, April 18.
Senate rules require bills to be considered in the order they are filed, but the Senate hardly ever follows that rule. Instead they file a bill at the front of the line (the "blocker bill") and everyone agrees not to vote on it. In order for the Senate to consider a bill filed after the blocker bill they must vote to "set aside" the Senate rules and take the bill "out of order." Senate Rule 22.02 says that setting aside the rules requires a two-thirds majority of the members present. The intent calendar is a list of bills that Senators intend to bring up out of order that day. The Senate creates an intent calendar each week, and any bill not taken up on Monday rolls over to Tuesday and then to Wednesday. They then start a new intent calendar the following week.
There are 31 Senators: 12 Democrats and 19 Republicans. In order for a bill to receive the required two-thirds (or 20) votes it needs, at least one of the Democrats must support it. Thus the urgency of the alert.

Witness Mathare (small, hardcover)
a journey through images
by Matt Costanza, Adam Costanza
About the Book
In December of 2007, I went to Africa with my brother Adam. We took a day trip out to see the Great Rift Valley and the natural African landscape, but this wasn't the Africa I traveled 12,000 miles to see. We went to the Mathare Valley slums in Nairobi, Kenya to make a documentary. We had a very tight budget, a very short stay, very big goals, and even bigger logistical issues–but we did it.
Mathare is a very interesting place, and visiting Mathare as a privileged white American was a truly unique and eye-opening experience. We shot hours of footage, interviewed dozens of Mathare residents, and shot over 1500 photographs in the 10 days we were in there. Words can't describe what we experienced, a traditional documentary couldn't either, and photographs alone also prove that the task is difficult.
Visit the website at www.WelcomeToMathare.com and read about the wonderful people living in this harsh community. Buy the DVD of our movie, Welcome to Mathare, and experience Mathare in a truly immersive way. Spread the word about the Living & Bleeding in the world that Westerners aren't aware of. Proceeds are donated to directly benefit and change the lives of the people living in the slum.

Unlucky HorseLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
Seven horses in a farm in Kentucky,
Of three blacks, the oldest is a daddy;
Of two browns, the 3 year old male is called BILLY,
And the horse SNOWY is white as a lily.
Of two half-sister mares, the black won in the Derby,
She's a shade lighter than her daughter, BEAUTY;
BEAUTY and her cousin LUCKY, both half the age of their auntie,
But faster than either ROCKY or SUNNY.
Three of the horses are ready for the Derby,
A horse must be three years to be an entry;
Maybe this year the farm gets lucky,
Their stallion's loss last year was a pity.
CHALLENGE: Describe the horse that lost in last year's Derby.
HintFor purposes of this riddle the following terms are defined as:
Mare- female horse
Stallion- mature male horse
Derby- a race for three year old horses.
AnswerSNOWY, a 4 year old male white horse lost last year.
The Derby is for three year old horses. Therefore only a current four year old horse could have lost last year.
SNOWY is the only horse which could have been three last year (four this year).
The farm is preparing three of the seven horses for this years Derby. There must therefore be at least three 3-year old horses among the seven. BILLY is 3-years old. Necessarily, BEAUTY and her cousin LUCKY must be 3 years old both. (They are of the same age).
Beauty's mom could not be three because she won in the Derby before. The oldest black is even older than BEAUTY's mom.
BEAUTY's aunt could not be three. If she were, then SNOWY must also be three to complete the three entries this year. This would mean that no horse would be four years old as BEAUTY and LUCKY would be one and a half years old. BEAUTY's mom won in the DERBY as a three year old, she could not win and lose at the same time. (The riddle suggests that the farm did not win last year so the mom must be over 5 years old).
In sum, if BILLY, BEAUTY, and LUCKY are three years old, their aunt must be six. BEAUTY's mom must be five or more. The oldest black must be older than the black mom. Only SNOWY could be four this year.
SNOWY is white (given), 4 years as deduced, and male from the fact that it was a stallion which lost last year.
The names of BEAUTY's mom and aunt and that of the oldest black are immaterial. The same is true with the color of lucky.

I entered into a heated US debate last week on whether the recovery has been surprisingly slow and, if so, whether the policies of Barack Obama's administration bear responsibility for that outcome. In particular, I was responding to a post by John Taylor of Stanford University, a distinguished macroeconomist and adviser to Mitt Romney, who had argued that the recovery was exceptionally weak.
Prof Taylor has responded to my reply. In this response, he makes four points.
First, he argues that if we exclude the recoveries in 1973, 1981 and 1990 from the analysis, the gap between the average US recovery and the current recovery becomes even bigger. Read more

Ocean City barrels at low tide these days. Man, that town is always changing. It's better at high tide(that was the standard) then it's better at low tide.....then it's better at Mid-low going high.......Jeez. Make up your mind.
Bayhead barrels but thems all meany guys there, unless you're Zach Humphries. Cape May used to barrel, same with Avalon. Atlantic City can barrel but, man, that place is scary. LBI likes to barrel all the time. Seaside Heights can barrel but likes to just be powerful. Lavalette barrels on low tide on dog moons. Mantolooking may barrel if you're nice. Pt. Pleasant loves barrels. Manasquan used to barrel in the 1980's. They call Belmar, "Barrelmar," Long Branch barrels when Archy and a Hooper is around. And Sandy Hook can barrel all the way to Manhattan.
Oh Nun's Beach in Stone Harbor spits like a southerner with a fresh packet of Skoal.

A "GROUND BREAKING" programme to help parents handle the stresses a new born child can bring is due to be launched today.
York has been chosen to pilot the NSPCC Coping With Crying programme which will involve showing parents-to-be a powerful new film about caring for a crying baby .
The film will be shown to parents as part of their planned antenatal visits at one of the city's nine children's centres.
Meanwhile, new parents in the East Riding of Yorkshire will be shown the film as part of the postnatal care that takes place in the council's children's centres.
Chris Cuthbert, head of strategy and development for the NSPCC, said: "This is a ground-breaking new programme based on the best international evidence.
"It is a relatively simple and low cost intervention, and our evaluation shows that it is helping parents to manage the pressures of new parenthood and soothe their baby. " Concerns about babies crying are one of the most common reasons that new parents seek help from professionals.
The NSPCC estimate that about 200 babies a year in the UK suffer from serious head injuries as the result of being shaken, hit or thrown, with crying often a trigger for this sort of harm.
The NSPCC film provides parents with supportive tips and advice about soothing a baby and managing their own stress.
It also tells them about the dangers of shaking a baby.
It was created in partnership with experts at Warwick Medical School and Great Ormond Street Hospital, and is based on a similar programme in America which reduced the number of babies who suffered from non-accidental head injuries by nearly half.
Over the last two years the NSPCC has been running this programme in 24 hospitals and birthing units and more than 30,000 parents have now seen the film.
Coping With Crying will now test how the film can be shown at different times in settings outside hospitals, such as in antenatal education classes or postnatal home visits.
Nineteen areas of the UK are involved in this extension to the project, which is estimated to reach at least 45,000 parents in the next 18 months.
The programme will be evaluated to find out when mums and dads are most receptive to the film's messages and where they can have most impact.
Cllr Janet Looker, mum-of-three and cabinet member for education, children and young people at City of York Council, said: "This is a great opportunity to join a simple but ground-breaking project which could have huge benefits for parents and babies and I'm delighted that York has been chosen to work with the NSPCC to trial this important film."
Guidelines for keeping baby calm
Tips on soothing a crying baby: All babies are different, and it's important for parents to take the time getting to know what helps to soothe their baby.
Some things that can be helpful are:
• Cuddling or carrying your baby close to you.
• Giving them the breast, bottle, or thumb to suck on.
• Rocking them in a pram or cradle, or taking them on a car or bus ride.
• Singing, playing soft music or talking gently to them.
• White noise, like the sound of a vacuum cleaner. It's similar to what your baby heard in the womb.
• Calming things down a bit by taking the baby somewhere where there are fewer people or things to look at.

It sharpens easy steels like white #2 without any problem, VG 10 slowly but effectively and it's over matched by abrassion resistant steels like CPM154 and S30V. You can add a quick cutting lower grit stone to the King. That should help you out. Try the Shapton Glass 500 or the Beston 500 or the Chosera 400.

Music Man's is a fine BBQ restaurant in Moncks Corner, SC - and if you're ever in the area (or traveling East on I-26 to or from Charleston) it is well worth the detour. Moncks Corner is about 45 miles from downtown Charleston.
While the pulled pork is extremely good - the ribs alone are worth the trip. I've always been a bit of a rib snob - with high quality ribs being harder to find (usually) than good pulled or sliced pork.
Well - this place will make you a believer.
Well worth the trip!
Also - around Holly Hill, SC is the famous Sweatman's which has been the pinnacle of good BBQ in the area for years and years.
