The Blue Oyster bar was full of Rob Halfords

so baby ben turned 2 this weekend. i really can't bear to think he's a big boy yet, so he'll keep his title until further notice. at least in my book.
- he is still a little guy of very few words. his repertoire includes: MOM/ mommy, dada, wow, owie, bayoon(balloon), hi, bye-bye, yeehaw, pease (please), no, do (dog), and peepee and poopoo {ya know, only the important stuff}
along with a myriad of sounds: lots of "uh!", beeps, various animal noises, and tons of giggles
- the above does not in any way hinder him from communicating exactly what he wants around here.
he's deservedly been dubbed bossy ben- using lots of grunts, pulls, and pushes to get people moving. plus all he really has to do is look at anyone with one of his cute, dimpled little facial expressions and he's good to go.
- his favorite book is "goodnight moon". we have to keep it on a special shelf in his room, read it before nap and bedtime every day and then afterwards say good night and pat about 10 different objects in his room. this tradition must not be broken. the repercussions are intense.
- balloons are his dearest objects of affection, second only to his beloved blankie.
- balloons also bring out the very worst in him...i'm thinking idol maybe? ;)
- he loves to watch and mirror his brother and sisters like crazy
- his favorite foods are bananas and chocolate, in any form
- he loves to climb...tables, counters, dressers, cribs...which means he has also had his fair share of falls already.
- a few of his nicknames include: benny boy, benster, benny boo and chubby bubby (used almost exclusively as a nighttime salutation by madeline and sophie)
- he loves, loves, loves to color on himself with a marker. mostly just on his hands, but sometimes it reaches his mouth.
-he loves to be tickled, especially by daddy who can almost always get a real good belly laugh out of him
- he also loves to carry around water balloons filled w/ just a little water and he HAS to have a smiley face drawn on them. (handyandy would very much like this routine to phase out...something about the hazards of carrying around a balloon filled with water inside the house??...)
- he loves following his brother and sisters everywhere...especially into the lego room, into their forts, on their bikes, and in their rooms. and always while sporting an impish grin that gives away the fact that he is fully aware that he is driving them a tad CRAZY.
-he loves to swipe dollies, nail polish,lego guys, other people's snacks, silly bands and everyone else's' markers and hide them in his back pack.
- he doesn't sleep the best. we still have a crib tent over his crib to keep him in bed and are most definitely delaying the inevitable training that needs to occur once we take the tent off...
- he just started being interested in watching cartoons with the other kids. yay for a 20 min. of containment!
- he loves that his daddy flies airplanes. every time this is mentioned he giggles and points with an "eh!" to the sky.
- he still loves mommy...(maybe the best)
he'll still snuggle with me after he wakes up and will give me air kisses if i ask {especially if he's trying to get something} and he doesn't mind {too much} when i snatch him up multiple times a day to squish and cover him with kisses.
happy birthday {big} baby ben!

TomAntion necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 29 diseños de 10 diseñadores freelance.
INTERNET MARKETING TRAINING CENTER is an on campus and online vocational school located in Virginia Beach, VA. IMTC was founded by Tom Antion, considered to be one of the top internet marketing gurus in the world. (Google Tom Antion).
18 to 35 male and female. While our target audience is 18 to 35, our online curriculum also appeals to an older workforce who is looking for continuing education to become more valuable in the workplace. But make no mistake . . . our target audience will be hip, trendy and technology driven.
This is a great gig, as your work will seen in print, web and broadcast, nationally and internationally as we launch the IMTC in Sept. of 2010. You will be creating the brand identity for the Internet Marketing Training Center including color palette, look, feel and style for our brand. We are looking for an icon/logo that will brand the Internet Marketing Training Center. The icon/logo will be tied to the words Internet Marketing Training Center. Think ... banner of a web page where we will see the logo / icon mounted together with Internet Marketing Training Center. It is our intention that once we establish brand recognition the logo / icon could be used graphically in applications where it is not necessary to see Internet Marketing Training Center. So while they will be launched tied together as a single unit at the top of our website at some point we see using the icon graphically in our advertising materials.
SIDEBAR: We currently use an academic seal for the Internet Marketing Training Center. It is a traditional shield enclosed by a circle. While we will continue to use this where we need to make our academic materials look and feel official it is not how we want to present our product to the public when we advertise. All submissions must be compatible with Adobe Photoshop CS

Three cheers for culture!
Going to Spain? Barcelona comes to mind, as does Valencia. But the country's cultural heart actually beats in Madrid. Our author took a look around the city's liveliest neighborhoods just before Holy Week, or Semana Santa, as it's called there.
Diversity, anger and hope in Lavapiés
Beats pound from the speaker stacks. On stage, a slender figure forces her anger into tightly honed verses: "We are determined – who's gonna stop us? Abuse of power – more visible every time!" she raps. The woman with the powerful voice is Emi Rap, 26, and her performance has drawn hundreds to Plaza Nelson Mandela in Lavapiés, an immigrant district that's home to people from 88 nations. Asian groceries, Arab snack bars and Indian restaurants abound in the narrow streets. Three North African men, one wearing a traditional djellaba, stand chatting on a corner. A few paces away, Spanish retirees gesticulate wildly while two Indian women in saris poke around in a store.
It's the afternoon before Emi Rap's performance. On our way to meet her, the photographer and I walk down a narrow, cobbled street called Calle del Oso, where brightly colored, traditional Spanish shawls, mantones de Manila, are knotted together and strung across the street like garlands. Empty now, the street will be packed when the crowds start celebrating tonight. Emi Rap (aka Noemi Laforque) is quiet and reserved when we meet her at the small, designated bar – very different from the raging fury she is on stage. Like her, Lavapiés has two different faces. One of them is self-evident: the pure, multicultural beauty of the neighborhood. "People here aren't just on the street to go to work or shop," she says. "They're here to meet other people and enjoy themselves." Another reason she loves Lavapiés: "It's got the best Indian food, and it costs half as much as in the rest of the city."
But there's another side to Lavapiés, the lack of prospects. For many immigrants, particularly teenagers, opportunities and role models are rare. Instead of just complaining about the problems, Emi Rap gives music workshops at a neighborhood youth center. When she was younger and going through difficulties with her parents, music helped her, too, she explains. Now she wants to pass the experience on. "There was a 13-year-old Spanish/Arab kid," she tells us, "who was constantly picking fights and always in a foul mood." She showed him how rapping can channel aggression. "I also saw a 15-year-old Sinti guitar player make great progress here," she says, giving us another example. "The center gave him the opportunity to record his songs."
Rainbow celebrations in Chueca
Alfonso Llopart steps off his motorcycle, right on time. We meet in front of an imposing, white, late-nineteenth-century building on the edge of Chueca, one of the city's most elegant districts. Spotless streets, restored facades. Wrought-iron balcony balustrades glisten in the sunlight. Chueca owes its present luster in large part to Alfonso Llopart, 52, editor of Shangay, a mouthpiece for the LGBT community in Madrid.
As we walk through Chueca, Llopart tells us how the area was far from hip back in the 1970s. "It was run down, full of drug dealers, and muggings were commonplace – until they came along." He points to the Black & White on the corner, Madrid's first gay bar, which opened in 1980. Chueca was a great hideaway, a perfect refuge. The gay movement shaped the district and ultimately made it socially acceptable. More and more members of the community moved in, more and more bars and clubs opened, and today, there are gay-friendly restaurants and supermarkets. With the gay scene came money, then Madrid's bohemian set.
Every year, Llopart and others from the LGBT community organize Spain's biggest pride parade, the Madrid Orgullo, which commemorates the anti-gay raids that took place in New York in June 1969. The first parade was held in Chueca in 1978, but the festival has long outgrown the neighborhood where it began, so now the procession passes along the great boulevards of downtown Madrid. "Only the high-heeled race for people with shoe size 43 and up still takes place here and attracts thousands of cheering fans," Llopart tells us, grinning. "It's quite a spectacle!"
First the gay community arrived, then came the bohemian crowd
Now even bigger things are in the works. In June, Madrid will host the international World Pride festival, for which Llopart is booking gigs, negotiating prices, making deals. His phone rings: "Hola amigo, thanks for getting back to me. We need you to sing in Madrid again this year, but it has to be for free. You know how small our budget is." Llopart listens attentively: "Oh, the musicians need a hotel? We can arrange that." That was Falete, he tells us, "A gay flamenco singer from Andalusia."
Creative minds in Malasaña
We enter another district and it's like tumbling into yet another world. Carlota Ferrer, 40 – chic pants suit, hat, red mane – looks like she just came from a theater premiere. She has long been a fixture on the Madrid theater scene. A few years ago, she became better known to a wider Spanish audience as the director of the José Manuel Mora play Los Nadadores Nocturnos, in which nighttime swimmers search for lost values in a fragmented world. The play satirizes Madrid as a commercial capital where subway stations bear the names of sponsors (this actually happened!). "We ask what constitutes the right life today, but audiences have to come up with their own answers."
We meet at the Ojalá restaurant with its plants hanging from the ceiling. A group of hipsters is sharing a liter of sangria at one table, a couple is sipping gin and tonics at the bar. New places keep opening in the nightlife district of Malasaña, whose turbulent history dates back to 1975, when a hedonist movement called La Movida Madrileña sprang up after dictator Franco's death. Here, in the drinking holes around Plaza Dos de Mayo, Pedro Almodóvar – the future world-famous film director – overindulged in drugs and alcohol.
Ferrer particularly loves Malasaña's galleries and theaters. "The scene is changing," she says, lighting another cigarette. "Companies are experimenting with modern forms of theater and many young people are interested in what they're doing, more than ever before." Ferrer's colleague Gon Ramos, whom we meet in the next bar, confirms this: "Audiences are looking for more than a distraction." The 27-year-old acts and directs in alternative theater spaces in Malasaña. His most recent play, Yogur Piano, is based on the song "Fjögur Píanó" by the Icelandic band Sigur Rós, and paints a picture of a cold, psychopathic society. It became a huge success on the small-theater scene. Ramos feels motivated: "Spain is rocked by crises and corruption scandals, and we theater people cannot sit around with our hands in our laps." Shall we have another beer and drink to that? "Can't, sorry." He has to go to a rehearsal of his new play.
We move on to our next appointment. Jal Hamad is similarly driven. The sign on the door says "Sabrina Amrani." It's the name of his wife and the gallery they run together. The daughter of Algerian immigrants, Amrani gave up a well-paid job in the food industry to achieve her dream. Hamad – his mother is Spanish, his father Syrian – owns a multimedia agency and provides the necessary funds. The gallery is hardly bigger than a good-sized living room and often features artists who call more than one place home: a South Korean from New York, a French artist from Madagascar, and Marlon de Azambuja from Brazil, who lives just a couple of streets away. "It's pure coincidence," Hamad says. You can believe that if you like.

Lobster Scrambled Eggs and My Father's Favorite Dinner Table Joke
View the complete recipe
21 comments:
- Jason said...
"I wonder what the poor people are having for dinner tonight?"
Awe... I thought that was a reference to olden times.
From Lobsterhelp.com:
Centuries ago in North America, lobsters were so plentiful that Native Americans used them to fertilize their fields and to bait their hooks for fishing. In colonial times, lobsters were considered "food for the poor." They were harvested from tidal pools and served to children, to prisoners, and to indentured servants, who exchanged their passage to America for seven years of service to their sponsors. In Massachusetts, some of the servants became so tired of eating lobster that they had it put into their contracts they would not be forced to eat lobster more than three times a week.

By the way, I wanted to ask, would you prefer to use your leftover lobster in a risotto or the scrambled eggs?
And if someone else doesn't ask: how did you wind up with so much leftover lobster? My Spidey-sense tells me another Food Wishes video with the master recipe is on the horizon.
- May 4, 2011 at 1:28 AM
Very Nice Chef John..But a bit surprised--no pinch of cayanne or smoked paprika? No pat of butter to finish the eggs at the end? ;)
I have never done Lobster at home (not confident on how to cook/clean or cut up the critters on my own), but I do enjoy some tasty King and Stone Crab Legs when they are in season, and this gives me a great idea to do with some of that succulent meat beyond just eating right out of the shell. I think that meat would go great with eggs too--Thanks!
- May 4, 2011 at 2:02 AM
Well, here's to your father then. Cheers!

My grandfather says the same thing!! He was the son of immigrants in Rochester, NY. His family was really poor. But that man sure knows how to eat now. I bet he's going to love this one.
- May 4, 2011 at 6:17 AM
- Big Dude said...
My Dad used to say that when he was particularly enjoying something and we were pretty near being the poor folks. I will put virtually everything in a scramble and sure I would love this.

- Tamar@StarvingofftheLand said...
And here I thought I was the expert on lobster and eggs! You're always bursting my bubbles.
Funny, we just uncovered the boat and power-washed the lobster traps. They go out in the next couple of weeks. I'll tell the chickens to ramp up production, because I'm looking forward to trying this.
- May 4, 2011 at 9:37 AM
- Resa said...
My father in law used the same phrase, only slightly different. We would go camping in the Rockies every summer, with him, and any time he was having fun, sitting by the campfire or fishing, he would say, "Wonder what the poor folks back home are doing?" We still camp every summer in the Rockies, and not a day goes by that we don't express the same saying.
- May 4, 2011 at 10:03 AM
- Chef John said...
Tamar, I have a feeling you are still the lobster scrambled eggs expert! But to be certain, I'm going to need to make a trip to see your skills 1st hand. ;-)
- May 4, 2011 at 11:21 AM
Grew up in NJ and my father would say almost the exact same thing, His was " I wonder what the poor people are doing tonight" Since that was us we all knew the answer.
- May 4, 2011 at 12:12 PM
- Chris K. said...
Leftover lobster just doesn't happen around here. It always gets finished the first time around.
Now crawfish, on the other hand...
- May 4, 2011 at 1:08 PM
- Elizabeth @ Saffron Lane said...
Love this post. Having grown up outside of Boston where lobster was "common food", we ate it almost every weekend tossed in everything -- or just steeped in a big pool of butter.
I never knew quite how fortunate I really was at the time.
Looking forward to trying this next time Maine Lobster Direct decides to send a shipment. :)
- May 4, 2011 at 1:38 PM
- Chef John said...
Thanks! I actually get annoyed when I hear food historians talking about how lobster used to be a common man's food staple, and that it was dirt cheap. :-)
- May 4, 2011 at 1:51 PM
We frequently use that phrase because we feel so lucky in life; however we also acknowledge that we ARE the poor people! :<)
BTW, about that sandwich cutting thing-----did I somehow miss it?
- May 4, 2011 at 2:48 PM
- Andy said...
Actually, John, from what I understand, lobster used to be a "poor man's food." I go to Maine every summer so I hear a lot of lobster stories. And the best that I've heard (it may or may not be true) is that, in Maine, it used to be illegal to serve lobsters to inmates more than once a week. It was considered inhumane! Lobsters were considered bizarre, insect-looking bottom dwellers, and they were not believed to be fit for consumption by sophisticated diners. Pretty crazy given the modern attitude on this tender shellfish. In any event, given your joke, I thought it was appropriate to tell the story. Cheers!
- May 4, 2011 at 4:13 PM
Leftover lobster? Never heard of it.
- May 4, 2011 at 4:30 PM
Im with anon on this. I know SF is the land flowing with milk and honey but leftover lobster too?! Having said that, I did once have an obscene amount of beluga caviar with Chachos and Gardenia sandwich loaf toasted points so I can dig the whole "Opulence, I has it" angle. I said once.
- May 4, 2011 at 10:25 PM
- dni said...
Lobsters are not cheap.
- May 5, 2011 at 11:42 AM
Can you tell me what recipes can we use with a whole 5lb lobster? We already ate it but its incase we get another lobster and we want a good recipe for it.
- May 6, 2011 at 2:11 AM
- Rita said...
don't worry about your dad's table joke. i think, anyone who's older than us have used and are still using that line. i, for one, will use that line the day that i can afford to buy a pound of lobster here in germany. AHAHAHAHA!
one of the crustaceans that i miss. that lobster scrambled eggs look so good, though.
- May 6, 2011 at 5:27 AM
- Unknown said...
That is funny. In most of your recipes i have none of the ingredients, so my mom has to go and get them the next day (because i am only 16). But in this one I have all of them just lying around. So I am making this for Breakfast! : )

UE to Graduate Largest Class in Over a Decade
Posted: Monday, April 29, 2013
The University of Evansville will award 595 degrees to 579 graduating students during the 155th Commencement ceremony, which will begin at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, May 4 at the Ford Center in downtown Evansville.
The 2013 graduating class is the largest in over a decade. In addition, more than one-third of this year's graduates have earned Latin honors by earning a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or higher.
The ceremony will feature UE's second annual Senior Keynote address, a tradition implemented last year in place of a Commencement speaker from outside the campus community. This year's speaker will be Mellinda S. Hensley, a communication and writing major from Linton, Indiana.
At UE, Hensley has worked for the student-produced Crescent magazine for four years, serving as the writing director her junior and senior years. She also has been involved in student activities such as Kappa Chi and the Student Writers of Indiana Program. In 2012, Hensley's short story "Ribbon" was awarded the Cowgill Award in Creative Writing, a $1,000 prize given in honor of Major and Mrs. George Cowgill. Hensley's work has also been published in The Boiler Journal and reviewed in The Review Review.
In the fall, she will attend the University of Southern California, where she will pursue a Master of Professional Writing degree with the goal of becoming a writing professor.
The 155th Commencement ceremony also will feature the presentation of the University of Evansville Alumni Association's Outstanding Teacher of the Year award, as well as the Outstanding Senior Service Awards.
For those who cannot attend Commencement in person, a video of the ceremony will stream live online at www.evansville.edu/commencement/live.cfm. The recorded video will be posted on this page the week after Commencement.

Berlin – the capital of Germany, is often called the New York of Central Europe. No wonder why.. In this city nationalities, trends and art styles create an incredible mix. The best way to get to know the city better, is by visiting its districts one by one as each of them creates its own world. The most trendy place in Berlin is the Prenzlauer Berg where the most famous designers live. If you want to see some of the Parisian style and elegant boutiques, you need to visit the Charlottenburg. The Stadtmitte (the middle of the city) is another place not to be missed as there you can meet not only celebrities, but also VIPs or artists sipping the so called Milchkafee (coffee with steamed milk) with the Apfelstrudel (apple pie) or drinking a cold beer – the BerlinerKindl.
Below we present some of the most trendy places in Berlin:
Hats looking like pieces of arts. As simple as that. They are handmade, unique and personally tailored. They are very diverse: funny, elegant or extravagant.
Mitte, Grosse Hamburger Strasse 25
2. Fabiola
You can find here everything what you need while dancing: clothes, shoes and accessories. There are tango shoes directly from Argentina.
Schoneberg, Goltzstrasse 3
3. Shibuya
The name Shibuya comes from a fashion district in Tokyo. Here you will find a mix of Japanese trends. Clothes, bags, jewelry and lingerie can be all yours.
Hackeschen Höfe, Münzstrasse 16
Here you will experience "positive eating". The restaurant offers some great gluten free options. All the meals are really fresh and light.
Mitte, Friedrichstrasse 63
The Berlin's highest bar and a restaurant at a height of 207m. Enjoy this fantastic lookout point which, on a clear day, offers a view of up to 80 km in all directions.
3. Cookies
So called " fashion victims club". Visited by models, stylists and fotographers. In this place, a dress from Prada is a must as well as a bottle of a good Champagne.
Unter den Linden, Friedrichstrasse
Experience an open, modern and communications-friendly house at the Bleibtreu Hotel Berlin, whose smooth elegance and attention to detail create lasting impressions. Furnishings designed exclusively for this boutique underline the house's individuality. Each floor has its own style and the color scheme.

There are probably numerous explanations why the cheer grew to become so popular, however it is possible that account might have been 1 factor.

Mary made a version of this cake for Baking with Julia, the television series with Julia Child. (The recipe was included in the cookbook based on the series.) It's based on our Chocolate Chiffon Cake, which we spread with filling and then roll, making this the most delectable "jelly" roll you have ever tasted. When the Spago staff sampled the cake, they all came back for second helpings—and they're a tough audience.

- 1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 eggs, separated
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 egg whites
- Chocolate-hazelnut mousse
- 1. Position the rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter or coat with vegetable spray a baking tray, 12 x 17 x 2 inches. Line with parchment paper and then spray the paper. Set aside.
- 2. Sift together 1 cup of the sugar, the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- 3. In the large bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle or beaters, beat the egg yolks at high speed. Turn the machine to low and pour in the oil, water, and vanilla. Gradually add the sifted ingredients and, when almost incorporated, turn the speed to medium and beat until well combined.
- 4. In another clean large bowl, with whip or clean beaters, whip the 6 egg whites until soft peaks form. Start on medium speed and raise the speed as the peaks begin to form. Gradually pour in the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and continue to whip until the whites are shiny and firm, but not stiff. With a rubber spatula, fold one-quarter of the whites into the chocolate mixture, then scrape the chocolate mixture back into the whites, quickly folding until completely incorporated.
- 5. Scrape into the prepared pan and spread with an offset spatula, smoothing and leveling the top. Bake until the edges of the cake pull away from the pan and the cake springs back when lightly pressed, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool on a rack.
- 6. When completely cool, place the pan on a firm surface. With a sharp knife, cut around the outside edges of the entire cake, separating the cake from the pan. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar over the surface of the cake (to prevent sticking when you invert the cake). Invert a second baking tray on the top of the cake and flip the cake over onto the second tray. Carefully peel off the parchment paper, turn the paper over, and place back on the cake. Invert the cake and the paper so that the paper is on the baking tray and the sugared side is on top. You are now ready to spread the filling onto the cake.
- 7. Fill and roll the cake: Place the cake with one of the 17-inch sides directly in front of you. Using your spatula, spread 11 2 cups of the Chocolate-Hazelnut Mousse over the surface of the cake to the edge of three of the sides, leaving about a 1-inch space along the one side directly in front of you (see photo). Level the filling. Refrigerate the remaining mousse, covered.
- 8. Starting with the 17-inch side in front of you, using the parchment paper to help you, roll the cake toward the opposite side, completely enclosing the filling (see photo). Make certain that you do not roll the paper into the cake. Tuck the paper around the rolled cake to secure (see photo). Leave the cake on the pan and refrigerate until the filling is firm, at least 2 hours, up to overnight.
- 9. To serve, remove the cake from the refrigerator and unroll out of the paper onto a firm surface. Using a long serrated knife, cut a 2-inch diagonal piece off each end. With a #3 star tip fitted into a pastry bag, pipe 10 or 12 rosettes of mousse spaced evenly across the tip of the cake. Dust with sifted confectioners' sugar. Carefully transfer to a serving platter and refrigerate until needed. When ready to serve, cut into 10 or 12 portions. Pass the remaining mousse.

Aggressive baserunning reinforced with early drills
ST. PETERSBURG -- Outfielder Shin-Soo Choo was one of four players who were out early with third-base coach Gary Pettis to work on their baserunning on Saturday. The others were Leonys Martin, Michael Choice and Jim Adduci.
Pettis is the Rangers' baserunning instructor, and manager Ron Washington wanted all four to get a reminder about the need for aggressive baserunning. Washington wanted Choo in particular to understand that the Rangers are known for their aggressive baserunning. Washington said there were a few times in the first four games Choo missed some opportunities to take an extra base.
"We've just got to keep pounding it into them, we're not worried about them getting picked off or thrown out," Washington said. "We want them to be aggressive. I don't want them playing scared baseball. We don't play scared."
Martin had the Rangers' only stolen base through the first four games. Choo has 96 stolen bases over the last five years, including 20 with the Reds last season. Choice has average speed and never had more than nine steals in the Minors. But Washington said Choice could steal 10-15 in the Majors once he learns to get good leads and read pitchers.

Overclocking involves increasing the speed (otherwise known as frequency) of your system components, beyond the manufacturer's specifications. In a modern PC the three major components which are commonly overclocked by enthusiasts are the CPU, the graphics card and the memory (RAM). Traditionally the focus of overclocking has centred on the CPU.
Caution: Overclocking can, in some cases, damage your PC's components. Proceed with caution.
There are several reasons why enthusiasts like to overclock their CPUs.
To save money.
Why spend $500 on a top-of-the-line CPU when I can purchase the entry-level $100 CPU and then overclock it to the same speed as the $500 part? If I am a keen gamer, the $400 saved could be put towards the purchase of a high-end graphics card instead.
To push the limits of performance.
Some overclockers like to take their components well beyond the speed of the manufacturer's fastest model. A great deal of satisfaction can be had from having a PC with a CPU running at 4.4Ghz when the fastest model available from the manufacturer runs at 3.3Ghz. It's a bit like performing aftermarket modifications to your car's engine to increase its horsepower beyond the factory specifications. I still fondly remember my old Celeron 600Mhz purchased late in the year 2000, which ran stably at 1080Mhz and formed the heart of my gaming PC at the time.
For bragging rights.
When I first became involved in overclocking PCs over 15 years ago it was the kind of thing you didn't really talk about, except with other enthusiasts. Many so called 'industry experts' at the time had a very dim view of the concept of overclocking, and tended to lump overclockers into the same category as Satan worshippers and conspiracy theorists.
These days, however, overclocking has become a mainstream activity and has inspired a multitude of informative websites and magazines. Many PC component manufacturers now sponsor international overclocking competitions and teams of expert overclockers strive to break records in a wide range of differing categories, sometimes using exotic techniques, such as supercooling components with liquid nitrogen. For example the fastest validated CPU frequency currently on the CPU-Z hall of fame board is an Intel Celeron 360 3.46GHz which reached the mind boggling speed of 8242.45Mhz!
OK — so how do I overclock my PC?
The principal ingredient in your overclocking success will be your motherboard. The motherboard in your PC connects all of the individual components including the CPU. The motherboard generates the final speed or frequency of the CPU by utilising a default system bus speed, and then applying a multiplication factor to it. For example the Intel Core i7 875K CPU in my own personal PC operates at a default frequency of 2.93GHz. This CPU has a multiplier of 22x, and runs on a default system bus speed of 133MHz, so 133MHz system bus multiplied by 22 = 2926 MHz ~ 2.93GHz.
In the good old days we had the ability to alter the clock multiplier by changing jumper caps or dip switches on our motherboards. My old Pentium 166 ran at 2.5x 66.6MHz = 166MHz. It was very common and very easy to change the multiplier to 3x 66.6MHz = 200MHz, or if you were lucky and had a really good chip you could push it to 3.5x 66.6MHz = 233MHz. As time went on the adjustment of the multiplier and the bus speed was transferred straight into the motherboard BIOS, and it was no longer necessary to manipulate physical jumper caps or dip switches on the motherboard itself.

LONDON (MarketWatch) — European stocks rose Tuesday, leaving the regional equity index at its best level in more than six years.
Shedding earlier losses, the Stoxx Europe 600 /zigman2/quotes/210599654/delayed XX:SXXP +1.47% moved up 0.3% to 349.71. The index's fifth consecutive rise marked its highest close since Jan. 8, 2008, according to FactSet data.
Stock benchmarks across Europe have reached multiyear or record highs recently in anticipation and in response to a range of monetary easing measures launched last week by the European Central Bank, which has been grappling with low levels of inflation and lackluster economic growth in the euro area.
Italy's FTSE MIB Italy Index rose 0.3% to 22,502.97, its best close since February 2011, and Germany's DAX 30 /zigman2/quotes/210597999/delayed DX:DAX +2.87% ended up 0.2% at a record close of 10,028.80, topped by a 2% rise for potash producer K&S AG /zigman2/quotes/205058230/delayed DE:SDF +2.82% .
European Central Bank Governing Council member Jens Weidmann told German newspaper Boersen-Zeitung that the latest round of actions — including bringing interest rates into negative territory — breaks "new ground" for the bank, and that the moves were aimed at reaching the real economy, according to Reuters.
Industrial output readings from Italy and France gave investors a glimpse of conditions seen at the start of the second quarter. Production in Italy rose at a seasonally adjusted rate of 0.7% in April, above the 0.4% rise expected in a Dow Jones Newswires survey of economists. French industrial production rose 0.3% in April, rebounding from contraction in March.
Meanwhile, manufacturing output in the U.K. rose in April from March, by 0.4%, reinforcing the view that recovery in the British economy remains on track.
The U.K.'s FTSE 100 index /zigman2/quotes/210599654/delayed XX:SXXP +1.47% , however, slipped less than 2 points to 6,873.55, with BT PLC /zigman2/quotes/209006687/delayed UK:BT.A +0.96% losing 2.4% as rival British Sky Broadcasting Group outlined the launch of its first European soccer channel.
Logging the steepest decline on the Stoxx 600 was Bank of Ireland . The stock fell 3.2% after the lender said U.S. billionaire investor Wilbur Ross Jr. will sell his remaining stake in the company and has resigned as a director.

Booker Group PLC was also hit, falling 2.2% after Goldman Sachs dropped the food wholesaler from its pan-Europe conviction buy list.
Sports Direct International PLC was also removed from Goldman's European conviction buy list "as the upside to our target price is now lower following a period of good performance. We have higher conviction elsewhere in the European retail sector as a result," said analysts at Goldman. Sports Direct shares ended 1.2% lower.
In France, the CAC 40 /zigman2/quotes/210597958/delayed FR:PX1 +2.15% shrugged off losses and rose 0.1% to 4,595.00, its fourth advance in a row. Spain's IBEX 35 /zigman2/quotes/210597995/delayed XX:IBEX +2.38% lost grip of gains and fell 0.1% to 11,153.50.

The cat is officially out of the bag — we've got another tablet to obsess over, again. At Google's I/O developer conference, the company announced its Nexus 7 tablet built by Asus. Is it everything you were expecting it to be? Let's find out.
Why Google Needed A Tablet
It all goes back to the launch of Google Play. With the re-badge of the Android Market back in March, Google positioned itself to become a company with an ecosystem of music, videos, apps, ebooks, and now digital magazines.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
And now that it has lots of content — 600,000 apps and counting — the next step was to build a stylish device that would store all of it.
The rumors nailed this one, too. The Nexus 7 sports a 7-inch IPS display (1280x800 resolution), 1GB of RAM, quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3 processor, 8GB and 16GB models, a 1.2-megapixel front camera (seriously, no back camera?), NFC, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and a huge 4,325 mAh battery that should net you nine hours of HD video.
It's also very light — only 340 grams — or 73 grams lighter than Amazon's Kindle Fire.
Content Is Front And Center
Following in the Amazon's shoes, Google is putting all of the content in its Google Play up front. As soon as you turn on the Nexus 7, you see your content such as all of the digital magazines in your library. The Verge says it's very Kindle Fire-ish.
There's also an intelligent recommendation widget that "gets smarter and more accurate" the more you use it.
Chrome will come as the standard browser and the YouTube app has been completely redesigned for the tablet. A revamped Maps app now works offline, too, so you can carry an entire city's worth of data with you without a connection.
For those of you who absolutely need a case and cover to go with their tablets, Google is also playing that game. It's selling a Nexus 7 Cover for $20 that'll give you some piece of mind at night knowing it's completely shielded.
The Nexus 7 will ship in mid-July for $200 with Android 4.1 Jellybean.

Bizarre Creations' Blur is hopping on the Twitter bandwagon, giving players the ability to send customized Tweets while playing through the developer's latest racing title.
Bizarre Creations would have us believe that Blur is the future of video game racing, so of course it needs to be tied together with the future of talking about games on the internet. Using a Twitter interface built into the game, players will be able to share any Blur information their hearts desire, from racing wins to leaderboard scores to customized challenges to their Twitter followers.
Players will get their first taste of the new feature in the upcoming Blur multiplayer beta, launching next month. You can also get a look at the feature in action over at the official Bizarre Creations Twitter page, where the company's social media manager Ben Ward gives it a test run.
I'm tweeting directly from Blur - Yes, Twitter is in the game! - "I'm currently looking at the CCX-R in #blurthegame"
I personally don't Tweet much, as my followers are probably aware, so I feel as if I've been left behind somewhat with regards to Twitter. Once Blur comes out, I'll get to feel doubly left behind, losing races and then failing to whine about it in real time. I can't wait!

Dr. Xin Zhou, '12, worked as a global development intern for ThinkImpact this summer in Kenya as a member of the University of the Pacific's 2010 Ambassador Corps.
Zhou spent seven weeks living in a mud house with no electricity and running water in Kayafungo, which is located 50 kilometers from Mombasa, the country's second-largest city. ThinkImpact is an NGO program that aims to leverage social innovation and local community resources to alleviate poverty.
"Our job was to visit local people trying to find out their skills and assets," Zhou said. "In the first four weeks, our team also was asked to monitor and evaluate past projects such as schools, latrines and hand-washing stations."
"My last three weeks were spent in dispensaries," said Zhou. "I observed medical professionals treating HIV patients. Due to poverty, social stigma and other reasons, Kenya has a policy that strongly encourages HIV mothers to exclusively breast feed their infants during the first six months of life. I expect to make a critical report on this policy to my sponsoring organization at the University in the next few months."
Zhou, a medical doctor from Shanghai, was among fifteen Pacific students awarded fellowships to work with social entrepreneurship organizations in developing countries this summer and fall. The university's Global Center for Social Entrepreneurship, based on the Stockton campus, selected the ambassadors from a strong pool of applicants. Recipient received a fellowship in the range of $3-5,000 for their service. Aside from the hands-on experience, this advanced internship program aims to provide essential fundamentals for establishing careers in international development, and cultivating professional relationships in developing countries with premiere social entrepreneurship organizations.

Charles Hill tells his attorneys he does not wish to present evidence against the death penalty should he be convicted of first-degree murder.
A man accused of the 2011 slaying of a SCAT bus driver maintains that he does not wish to present evidence against the death penalty should he be convicted of first-degree murder.
Charles Hill, 33, is charged with premeditated murder in the death of James Brotherton, whose body was found Nov. 21, 2011, in front of the Gulf Gate Library. Brotherton, who suffered a single gunshot wound, was lying in a pool of blood, according to the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office.
Hill, who was arrested after detectives obtained video footage of the suspect with Brotherton before his death and of the slaying itself, is set to go to trial next week.
In August, Hill notified his attorneys of an unusual decision: he will not allow them to present evidence against the death penalty or ask questions that would undermine prosecutors' evidence in favor of execution.
"He wants to be acquitted; he asserts he is not guilty," Jerry Meisner, Hill's public defender, said during a hearing Tuesday afternoon. "He said he did not wish me to ask those questions that don't go to the ultimate issue he's interested in: his guilt or innocence."
Judge Donna Berlin has previously questioned Hill's decision. Two psychological experts, who evaluated Hill, found that he was competent to stand trial and understands the impact of waiving his right to mitigation.
Hill's decision goes against advice from his counsel, who told Berlin they have plenty of mitigating factors to present. That evidence would include experts to testify to abnormalities in Hill's brain and family members to discuss his history of mental health issues and extensive head injuries, Meisner said.
Meisner also would present a friend of Hill's who claims the defendant was under the influence of several drugs on the night of Brotherton's death.
"Part of the mitigation is these medications, when ingested, are powerful," Meisner said. "But when you add someone who has a brain injury or compromised brain, they're even more susceptible to the effects of such drugs."
Hill's defense would like to present that evidence to the jury, in hopes they would recommend life in prison instead of the death penalty should Hill be convicted.
But the decision is ultimately Hill's.
Berlin is giving him one last chance to think it over before she questions him today for the final time.
Meisner would not say what Hill's reasoning is behind the decision, but said it has remained consistent.
At today's hearing, Berlin will also address the defense's motion to suppress evidence, specifically the alleged murder weapon — a disassembled firearm found in a closed trash can in Hill's yard during the execution of a search warrant in December 2011.
Evidence and arguments regarding the motion were presented Tuesday.
Carolyn Schlemmer, co-counsel for Hill's defense, contends that the trash can was unlawfully searched.
The search warrant specifically stated that the residence, vehicles on the property and unattached structures on the property could be searched.
"Arguments of it being close to the residence has no merit; the fact that it's next to a partition wall has no merit," Schlemmer said. "If so detailed and without error, why isn't there a better legal description of the entire property?"
Karen Fraivillig, assistant state attorney, said Schlemmer was being "hyper-technical."
"The state argues that the firearm found in the defendant's trash can immediately adjacent to the defendant's home is part of the premises," Fraivillig said. "Use common sense and logic and find that the premises includes the side yard with the garbage can that contains the evidence."
Berlin will likely decide today whether the firearm is admissable.
Hill's trial is set to begin next week, with jury selection scheduled for Monday through Wednesday.

Interactions and Convergence in Product Development NetworksBerhausen, Nico Peter (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Many studies have focused on the topic of product innovation. As a key element of how industrial organisations work, of how competition is shaped and how economic growth is realised, innovation provides an interesting research field, which will never be fully explored. Industrial organisations explore these grounds through strategic processes in which objectives should guide product development processes. Ideas, alternatives or decisions form these processes in which heterogeneous actors need to be aligned and coordinated towards the final product innovation. Heterogeneity is a key aspect here; different, new technologies, conflicting objectives, different opinions and different management practices for example, are part of this process. Although these elements have been studied extensively in extant research, I identify several gaps in the existing literature, which I in turn strive to fill with this thesis. First, a perspective of the interactions in innovation processes is needed with a focus on control mechanisms and the mobilisation of strategic objectives. Secondly, focusing on control, the way calculative boundaries are created and explored and how these may be overcome needs more development and empirical insights. Thirdly, the interaction of control mechanisms and the coordination of product development networks through these interactions lack empirical insights and build an interesting research ground. I do not provide a holistic framework or a contingent perspective of how organisations should manage innovation. Rather I discuss the many ways in which product development networks become convergent through the interaction of control mechanisms, which may act as a vehicle or translator of strategic objectives...

She's an active member of Norene's Kitchen! where she shares many of her wonderful recipes and her culinary knowledge.
Gloria wrote: "Strange as it may seem, when it comes to Passover, I prefer that the food I'm preparing should not be based on matzah – especially dessert! My Fudgy Flourless Chocolate Cake satisfies that requirement. It is rich, dense and fudgy, without a hint of flour or matzah meal, so it is gluten-free. This is a wonderful dessert for Passover and all year round."
GLORIA KOBRIN'S FUDGY FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE (Pareve)
This cake is for the real chocolate lovers amongst you. It is best when made one or two days in advance of serving it. This is a relatively flat, moist, dense cake that packs a lot of flavour.
7 ounces semi-sweet pareve chocolate
1/2 cup very strong coffee, divided use
1 cup non-dairy margarine, room temperature
1 cup sugar
4 eggs
fresh berries to garnish
Preheat oven to 350. Spray an 8-inch spring-form pan with nonstick spray. Wrap foil around the bottom one inch of the pan. Set aside.
Place chocolate and 1/4 cup coffee together in a microwave-safe bowl. Place in microwave and heat for 2-1/2 to 3 minutes or until you can stir the coffee and chocolate together and they are completely smooth. (You can also melt chocolate and coffee together in a double boiler.) Add remaining 1/4 cup coffee and stir again. Let chocolate cool for 5 minutes.
Beat margarine and sugar together in bowl of an electric mixer until light. Add eggs, one at a time, to margarine and sugar, beating well after each addition. Add chocolate mixture and beat again until all ingredients are well blended.
Pour into prepared pan and bake for 45 minutes. The top will rise and separate from the rest of the cake.
Remove cake from the oven and cool on rack. The top will fall after some time out of the oven.
When the cake has completely cooled, unsnap the spring form pan and push the bottom through the ring. (The cake is so moist that I don't even try to take it off the bottom of the pan!)
Put it on a beautiful serving platter and surround it with berries. Yield: 10 to 12 servings. Serve small slices as it is very rich.
Ruth Heiges of Elkins Park, Penn., and I correspond regularly but we have never met – yet! She lived in Israel for many years but decided to move back to the United States to be closer to her aging parents.
Ruth is looking forward to launching her new website, www.informedkosher.com right after Passover. This comprehensive website will "aggregate the most useful kosher resources of the web into one convenient collection, from kosher food delivery to recipes, all current cookbooks, and restaurants."
She chose to share her Passover sponge cake recipe, as it has special meaning for Ruth and her family. She wrote: "This recipe hearkens back to when I was in grade school and the measure used by all Jewish homemakers was a "glezel" (i.e., a yahrzeit glass, which evidently was equivalent to a cup). My mother, z'l, didn't have or need an electric mixer, because she had me there to whisk the whites by hand.
"For my family, having this sponge cake is not a tradition – it's an imperative."
10 eggs, separated
pinch of salt
1 cup sugar
grated zest of 1 orange
1/3 cup cake meal
1/2 cup potato starch
juice of 1 lemon
Cut a round of baking parchment or waxed paper to fit the bottom of a 10-inch tube pan. Preheat the oven to 350.
Add the pinch of salt to the whites. Beat the whites in a large mixing bowl until stiff peaks form. Then, gradually beat in the sugar (several tablespoons at a time). The rest should be folded in by hand.
Lightly beat the yolks with the orange zest and add to the whites. Fold carefully to combine.
Alternating, fold in the cake meal and potato starch (a few tablespoons at a time). About half-way through this process, add the lemon juice.
Pour into the ungreased tube pan. Bake at 350 for 45 to 50 minutes.
Remove from oven and invert pan until cooled. Yield: 12 servings.
Cake can also be baked in a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan for about 30 minutes. Check to see that the top is golden brown and springs back when touched.
During baking, tread lightly and avoid opening the oven. This kind of cake can "fall." It often sinks somewhat during cooling.

Brina Sachs Gonzales loves to cook. She posts regularly on Facebook and her Shabbos menus are always amazing. On her blog www.mikoshercocina.wordpress.com, she explains her culinary philosophy about family meals and memories: "Many of my memories came from preparing food and around the dinner table. Now I let my kids look at food books and magazines and allow them to choose one dish for Shabbos. Food is the universal language. If you're not dining as a family, then there are no food memories to pass down."
Pesach preparations are very hectic for both Brina and her husband, Elazer, as he is the kosher food manager at a Cincinnati supermarket and works 13-hour days at this super-busy time of year. With four young children, Brina has learned how to pace herself and deal with the challenges.
Brina wrote, "We don't use processed foods at Pesach in our house – that's our minhag (custom), so we have to get creative. Our main ingredients are fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, eggs and potatoes – nothing else. My kids live for fruit smoothies for dessert. We eat so healthy at Passover that I always say that I'm going to continue when it's over, but I get so tired of peeling that the moment that Passover is over, I'm done!"
1 ripe pineapple
1 large or 2 small onions
1 carrot
4 to 6 tomatoes
salt to taste
2 to 3 tbsp. oil (to taste)
3 to 4 lb. chopped meat
Peel all produce (pineapple, onions, carrot and tomatoes). Remove the core from the pineapple. Cut all produce into chunks. Purée in the food processor using the steel blade. Transfer mixture to a large pot. Add salt and oil and bring to a boil.
In the meantime, roll the meat into balls (no additives are needed). Place meatballs in sauce. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 2 hours. Yield: 10 to 12 servings.
Faith Kramer cooks and writes about food in Oakland, Calif., but is a born and bred New Yorker. She serves up "deliciousness" on her delightful blog at www.clickblogappetit.com/, Cooking Local, Eating Global.
Faith sent me the original version of her matzah brei (below), although every time she makes it, she keeps refining it. Feel free to make your own variations. She makes a huge batch and reheats it on school mornings.
Faith says, "You'll have to make it and decide for yourself if this sweet brunch or dessert version of the classic Jewish Passover favourite is really the best in the world or just the best my kids have ever tasted. They claim it is the best and other relatives concur. My father-in-law has me make it for him even when it is not Passover. A cousin's son made his family travel from Los Angeles to my home in Oakland for Passover one year just so he could eat it.
"I admit this can be a very rich dish if you make it with whole milk, but you can cut some of the fat by using fat-free milk (which is what I usually do). You could also replace the eggs with egg substitute (which I don't)."
10 whole matzot
4 eggs, beaten
1/4 to 1/2 cup sugar (or more or less to taste)
2 cups of whole, low fat or fat-free milk
1 tsp. vanilla (kosher for Passover)
2 tsp. grated orange rind (optional)
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
grating (or dash) of nutmeg
1 tbsp. unsalted butter (or more as needed for the frying pan)
cinnamon sugar (optional)
Dip whole matzot into warm water until wet on both sides. Drain well and break into small pieces in a large bowl.
In another bowl, combine eggs, sugar, milk, vanilla, orange rind, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg and beat to mix well.
Pour over drained matzah and let sit for 10 minutes to allow matzah to absorb some of the custard mixture. Stir the mixture occasionally.
Heat butter in a very large frying pan over medium heat. Add matzah mixture and fry in butter, adding additional butter as needed. (If you have too much for one pan, cook in batches and keep cooked matzah brei warm in a 250-degree oven. Be sure the matzah brei has room to fry, not steam in the frying pan. If you will be holding the matzah brei for any time, slightly under cook it so it won't dry out.)
Let the matzah brei mixture set in the hot pan for a minute or two and begin to brown, then use your spatula to break it into chunks and turn it over. Keep turning and breaking up the matzah brei every one to two minutes for a few more times until the custard mixture is absorbed but the matzah is still moist and the outside of the mixture is browned and slightly crisp.
Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, if desired. Serve with syrup, jam or other toppings. Yield: 4 to 6 servings.

Tonight's Lineup
Rollins, ss; Victorino, cf; Utley, 2b; Howard, 1b; Burrell, lf; Werth, rf; Feliz, 3b; Ruiz, c; Moyer, p.
Playoff Atmosphere
Citizens Bank Park was really alive last night, electricity as in a playoff game. Jimmy Rollins got the juices going with his lead off home run, his 28th, which is twice as many as the Phillies previous record holder, who happens to be Juan Samuel.
Ryan Howard is getting hot. The two MVPs were the catalysts and Cole Hamels did the job on the mound.
Something different seems to happen in every baseball game. Triples by Howard and Pat Burrell in the same game…..that's something different. Howard now has more triples than J-Roll, 2-1. That's something different.
Comments Corner
Thanks for the feedback on Juan Samuel. He is a special person, on top of being a very good ballplayer.
Sammy's evening yesterday started with an appearance on Comcast SportsNet's Daily News Live from the field. It was followed by a press conference in the Media Room, 30 minutes of autographs in the Hall of Fame Club, Phillies-pre-game radio show with Jim Jackson in the Main Concourse, in-game Phillies TV and Spanish Radio.
Wherever he went yesterday, people knew him…..media, players, coaches, managers, game day employees, club officials and the fans. He was smile city last night.
Commemorating History
He'll be on the mound again tomorrow, wearing that familiar number 36. The motion will still be fluid but the speed won't register on the radar gun.
"He" is Hall of Famer Robin Roberts. To commemorate the 60th anniversary of his major league debut (June 18, 1948), Robbie will throw out the first ball.
Robbie was a pitcher with a blazing fast ball, awesome curve and pinpoint control. His motion was as fluid and smooth as any who hurler who has graced this game. He never backed hitters off the plate and paid for it by allowing a ton of home runs (505). In the end, he won 286 games and made it to Cooperstown, NY.
To say he was a workhorse would be a gross understatement. For six straight seasons starting in 1950, he never threw under 304 innings. He would have set insurmountable pitch-count records but pitch counts didn't exist back then, thank goodness.
At one point in his career, he had 28 consecutive complete games (8/25/52 to 7/5/53). Robbie led the majors with 33 CG in 1953. The game has changed. The Diamondbacks staff led the NL last season with 7, a month's worth for Robbie.
Robbie, now 81, will be honored as part of Toyota Alumni Night set for Saturday, August 9. Family, friends and ex-teammates will join Phillies Alumni that night. All fans will receive a commemorative print of Roberts, thanks to Toyota.
This Date
In Phillies history……
1930 RF Chuck Klein hits in 26th straight game (.432), May 18-June 17, a new modern club record. He hit in 26 in a row again the same season (.434), July 12-August 13.
2004 Phillies and Detroit Tigers play first day-night doubleheader in Citizens Bank Park. Phillies win opener, 6-2; Tigers, the nightcap, 5-4, 11 innings.

The New Britain Museum of American Art (NBMAA) is increasing its creative collaboration with young, innovative artists by featuring Gordon Holden's original merchandise in the Museum Shop. Expanding its list of trend-setting contributors, which also includes the Hartford Denim Company, this new partnership proves to add originality and inspiration to the dynamic character of the NBMAA. Holden created a unique design specifically for the museum products and continues to produce exciting works that embody humor, contemporary artwork, and culture.
A New England artist born in the American suburbs, Holden sells t-shirts at the hip fashion establishment OAK, which has two prominent locations in New York City. Frequented by young crowds who value individuality and expression, OAK boasts having celebrities such as Miley Cyrus modeling their original designs.
The NBMAA commission combines Holden's one-of-a-kind style with the museum's long-lived American art traditions, creating products that mix Holden's playful curiosity with his cynical observations; whimsical and thought provoking creations. The t-shirts, mugs, and postcards he has designed for the Museum Shop dovetail with this mantra.
Holden uses art to express his vision by creating works to oppose culture's insatiable drive for flawlessness. He often uses the viewer's sense of sight and touch in his artistic expressions, employing a backwards mishmash of an osmosis of pop culture and personally derived abstract apprehension. Holden's intense appreciation for the Museum's art drives the inspiration behind his designs. The t-shirt featured on his website (http://shop.gordonholden.com/product/positively-breath-taking) and in our merchandise shop is named "Positively Breath Taking," after his experience at the NBMAA.
Gordon Holden's items are currently available in the Museum Shop and range in price from $4–$38.
The New Britain Museum of American Art is at 56 Lexington St., New Britain

"As president, I have the good fortune to lead the company in the implementation of our growth strategy," Bruce says. "Peter Piper Pizza will have plenty to offer Millennial consumers as they establish their families."
Prior to Peter Piper Pizza, Bruce was the senior vice president of marketing at North Carolina–based Salsarita's. He has held executive-level marketing positions throughout the restaurant industry at Captain D's Seafood, Damon's, Wendy's, and Pizza Hut.

His extensive international experience will continue to play a vital role in the development of Peter Piper Pizza in Mexico, where franchisees operate nearly 50 locations. Bruce earned his BA in business and Spanish from Kansas State University and Universidad Ibero-Americana in Mexico.
Peter Piper Pizza is an Arizona-based family pizza and entertainment restaurant chain offering pizzas on dough made from scratch, appetizers, and family-friendly gaming throughout the Southwestern U.S. and Mexico. Peter Piper, Inc. is owned by ACON Investments.

Today's keynote is from Josh Coates. You can read his background on RootsTech.org as well as see a live feed of his presentation. By the way he is wearing Levi's and has bare feet. Maybe that goes with being a programmer? He is a very good presenter by the way.
Highlights as usual.
Social Networks
1978 UseNet
1989 AOL Online
1994 GeoCity not a real social network
1997 SixDegrees
2002-Present Social Networks
Value of social networks is equal to the number of people (n) on the network but varies on the number inter-connections between the users. Talks about friend collectors, the maximum number of friends in 241. 2007 Green Peace tries crowd sourcing. Now we are in the age of the power of social networks.
Where are social networks going: there will be a next Facebook. Why doesn't your social network idea probably won't work?
- Not enough critical mass available
- Costs too much to acquire users (free still has costs)
- No reason to come back or return to the network (no compelling content generation)
- 1 MB is 300 page book
- 1 GB take ten years to read aloud
- 1 TB 32,000 trees of paper
- 1 PB 1.4 million truck loads of paper
- 1 Exabyte All the trees in the US cut down and turned into paper or 30 billion trees
- 1 Zettabyte more than all the grains of sand on a thousand earth.
Solid state drives are what will take us to the Exabyte Era.
Cloud Computing
Happening now. We have cloud computing. Very confusing at first.
Grid Computing became Time Sharing became ASP became SaaS became Cloud Computing
You can build a supercomputer in your basement. Questions of the era is what would you do with

Dear Editor,
If you have not watched the National Rifle Association (NRA) video of their response to the recent Connecticut incident you owe it to yourself to do so.
Please watch it in its entirety thus enabling you to know the "real" version not the short clips and quotes sometimes used by the media. To me it makes so much sense.
During my law enforcement employment and reserve deputy duties schools would hire us for security at school functions such as basketball, football games and school dances etc.
So the thought of having armed security in our schools is not a new concept.
And that was during early times when you could just walk in to a school during school hours through unlocked doors.
Still they thought the need was there for certain functions.
There are some schools that have a trained officer on duty at all times, but due to the money crunch and allowing a few anti-gun people to dictate their wishes we have created an area that the "bad guy" is free to enter or at least be on the property.
Once entry is gained into our schools this person is confronted with no "trained qualified person" capable of escalating their response to meet the specific incident at hand.
For a long time our country has had a "major" mental health care problem. Now due to lack of that care for so many years, victims of mental health are now becoming quite evident.
Law enforcement's hands are tied as there is little they can do without the appropriate preventative laws. It's up to us to fix this now; taking firearms out of the hands of good people will not fix this.
We have enough gun laws on the books that are not being enforced already.
As for the media, most have a pressured one-sided view about guns.
Anti-gun folks have their share of extremists that will not listen to any form of reason.
There are those that think the rifle used in Connecticut is an assault rifle like used by our military.
Remember the saying "If it looks like a duck it must be a duck". That being the case then the rifle used in the Connecticut incident must be a military type "assault rifle."
It is not. The military version is capable of being fired in the full automatic "machine gun" mode, where the civilian version is semi-auto only.
That is a common available function of many makes and models of rifles, shotguns and handguns of civilian firearms for years and years.
Full auto capable firearms have their own restrictions already in place. It appears to me that the definition of an assault rifle needs to be updated and more specific.
The National School Shield Program, instituted and I am under the understanding that it is paid for by the National Rifle Association, entails training and security consultation and can be customized to suit each schools needs.
Why not try it? The lives of our kids depend on it.
Please talk to your school authorities encouraging them to give this program a chance and be involved in keeping our kids safe at school as most responsible parents do while they are not in their direct supervision.
If some research is done you will find that eliminating the "No Gun Zone" thus allowing qualified concealed carry is the way to go.
It is active in one of our states and and a few others are looking into concepts such as this.
You can find this video and text version in its entirety at NRA.org on your computer.
I also encourage you to read an article by author Larry Coreia. It is lengthy but rivets your full attention. It can be found at thepatriotperspective.wordpress.com.

Serious network problems in Glasgow have left Vodafone customers with a dicky 3G service for at least six months, according to a complaint the Advertising Standards Agency is investigating.
"A smartphone without 3G is an expensive paperweight and I am fed up paying £30 a month for this one," writes one pissed-off Glaswegian at the start of a Vodafone support forum thread about problems with the 3G network.
It's a discussion that has had 2,239 views to date, 165 replies (most get something more like 200 views and 10 replies) and as yet has no satisfactory resolution.
It's the same problem that plagued Glasgow-dweller Joseph Heenan for five months before he decided to make a complaint to the ASA in August. The watchdog confirmed to The Reg that its investigations team is now working on the case.
After taking umbrage at Voda's claims that its "network is built for data use" and that the operator has "built extra capacity" into its network, he wrote to the ASA detailing the misery of trying to access the internet from his phone anywhere near his office in the centre of the city. In an exchange of correspondence with the regulator, he refuted Voda's claims that users' mobile phones were at fault and that the problems were handset-related.
"The handsets in question work absolutely fine when not in central Glasgow," he said.
"Our network is built for data use," Vodafone promises on its website.
Joseph switched to T-Mobile in September, which he reports works just fine.
Three users we spoke to suffered the same problem: their phones showed good signal and claimed to have a 3G connection, but they were unable to fetch web pages, emails wouldn't download and apps that needed a net connection couldn't work. Joseph first noticed the problem in March 2011, Will Finlay in January, and Stephen Hynds in May, when he had to move to central Glasgow for work.
Will Finlay told us that he had taken to carrying round a MiFi portable dongle on the Three network around to provide internet to his iPhone.
Voda customers on Twitter report similar experiences:
@Leischa: Hey #Vodafone - I have a smartphone on an expensive contract - why do I need to tweet by text message? No signal in Glasgow again.
@MartinProvan: @johnco I see you spoke to @VodafoneUK about iPhone deals. I am on Vodafone would not recommend them as 3G is poor in Glasgow on my iPhone
Reception for calls and texts - which take greater priority over data - is also patchy. Will described how he constantly gets gets voicemails from calls that have never rung, and that texts will arrive in bunches 10 to 20 minutes after being sent. The affected area of the city comprises a significant area: the main shopping streets, the business district and the city centre's universities. The Apple store is in the heart of the dead zone.
How Vodafone responded to customers
Vodafone representatives on the forums responded to the complaints but largely to claim that there was no problem with the network. Where they did admit there were issues, they weren't able to offer particularly helpful solutions. One forum moderator recommended that customers simply used the old 2G network instead:
Calls on 2G seem to be unaffected by this issue so you can still use your phone for its purpose (making calls).
Since when has the primary purpose of an iPhone been to make calls?
Going through the call centres didn't produce any better responses; Stephen described the help on offer from the operatives as "utterly useless". He said: "Instead of reading the thread they'd simply ask you to check your phone wasn't faulty, and to test it with another. They'd also tell you that their coverage checker said everything was great and that it couldn't possibly be them."
Stephen found that accepting a credit note from Vodafone invalidated his case when he complained to an ombudsman in an attempt to get out of his contract.
"I've since complained to the Ombudsman who got back to me saying that since I'd accepted £20 credit from Vodafone they couldn't do anything as that effectively closes the case," he said.
Stephen has appealed and is waiting for a reply.
According to Will, who received a call from a Vodafone field engineer in September, the connection did improve for a period recently but only for one or two weeks, before going under again, a fall-off he attributes to the return of smartphone-toting students at the beginning of university term.
Will, who has some knowledge of mobile networks having worked for a rival company, suggests that they need to increase the backhaul of the site: "I have a feeling that Vodafone are stuck in their old ways. They need to put more money into upgrading their networks."
Vodafone response
The Reg put the blokes' experiences to Vodafone. They had this to say to us:
We understand the frustration of customers using 3G data in Glasgow as we know our network has seen some issues in that area. These aren't related to capacity bottlenecks or a lack of investment in the area but to some software quality issues, coupled with the need to attain planning permission to install additional sites.
We're investigating some issues connected more specifically to certain sites in the centre of Glasgow. It's our priority to sort this out and we hope to see further improvements very soon.
