The world's most popular social network has recently come under fire for a careless approach to handling of user data. Facebook, a platform with over 2 billion active users, is now facing heavy scrutiny for a supposed leak of information to the voter profiling company, Cambridge Analytica.
Though Facebook and similar networks seem designed with the user's desires in mind, this is not entirely the case. What began as a straightforward social mission to connect individuals based on mutual friends and interests has transformed into more of a corporate scheme than many of us would like to admit. Though Mark Zuckerberg began Facebook as a college student, he no longer exhibits the defining characteristics of a startup developer. It is true that Facebook provides users with a means of connection, but at its core, Facebook has evolved into a business with clear financial and social goals. As users of the platform, we tend to ignore its underlying structure in favor of perceived benefits.
Facebook has created a haven for users to willingly reveal their personal information, from friend lists and geotags to things you may have mentioned out loud, but never searched online. Instagram, which is owned by Facebook, even has constant access to a user's microphone that allows the app to place digital ads based on spoken word alone. In fact, LinkedIn's fastest growing jobs are largely associated with the fields of data science, language processing, and data driven development, which are critical to companies who seek to target specific individuals.
If anyone asked you on the street to provide the information Facebook already possesses about you, you would probably (hopefully) say no. Facebook, however, has created an environment where users let their guard down and, in fact, willingly give up private information about themselves. It is a site many of us check repeatedly, wasting hours scrolling through a feed that's just interesting enough to help us procrastinate a little longer, and just important enough for us to forgo an in-person conversation. It has an addictive effect to which a massive population has fallen victim. That said, while security of user data should be imperative for tech giants, it's also on us to know when to step away.
Following this public outcry, there are calls for Zuckerberg to testify before Congress, some even going so far as to demand Facebook be shut down. While shutting the platform down is simply unrealistic, regulation is necessary for massive tech companies to be controlled rather than given free reign. After all, these are companies that infiltrate our phones, media, and homes.
There exists a balance of regulation that still allows for innovation and advancement, but we aren't there yet. Our society has put astounding amounts of trust into corporations that essentially trick users into giving up personal details, which are sold to other companies at drastic prices so those companies can more efficiently sell to us. It brings into question the ethical boundaries of data collection, which cannot be established until some form of regulation exists on the means Facebook uses to interact with its users.

Apple working on embedded SIM for iPhone?
Posted by Patrick Lambert Categories: Apple, Smartphones, Handhelds, Rumors
Apple has gotten creative with SIM cards in the past. They've done it before with the iPad, which uses a MicroSIM to connect to a 3G cellular network, and then the iPhone 4 followed suit. While they didn't exactly invent the technology, it's the first time that this gets used in a mass market device. Now, this morning, sources inside of some European carriers say that Apple is ready to pull a similar stunt. Apple and SIM maker Gemalto are reportedly about to implement a new SIM technology which would live permanently inside of the iPhone, and wouldn't need to be removed to switch carrier. The new SIM could be changed from one network to the next by the software, removing the need for it to be a removable card.
This is only rumor at this point, and if it was any other company it would be a dubious one at best. However, Apple's already proved that they can make carriers bend to their will to a certain extent, and this may be no different. The main benefit for Apple would be the ability to bypass the carrier. Consumers could buy a phone online, without any need to be pre-attached to a carrier like AT&T or T-Mobile, and then choose themselves which carrier to configure it for, at will.
Of course it's not all good for the end user. This would remove some of the control from the cellular network, but that control would be put straight into Apple's hands. So it remains to be seen what they would do with such increased power. Nevertheless, if they do manage this feat, it's clear others would be tempted to do so. Time will tell if Apple breaks the smartphone mold once more.

Sander unveils ambitious 40-year plan during State of the MTABy · Published in 2008
The Regional Plan Association loves this idea. (Image from the MTA)
Toward the end of Elliot Sander's State of the MTA speech yesterday morning, one of the MTA Capital Construction employees sitting near me turned to his friend and laughed off Sander's "Network Expansion Options" presentation. "It's good to be a planner," he said, with a chuckle, of the MTA CEO and Executive Director's proposed 40-year expansion plan.
It was a very knowing chuckle. The suits at MTA Capital Construction understand reality. They know what it takes to attempt to build three stops on a new subway line, let alone an entire branch that cuts through three densely-populated boroughs. They know that in the MTA's first 40 years, the agency hasn't added much in the way of subway lines to a city that badly needs them. What would make the next 40 years any different?
For the better part of an hour, Sander spoke about the MTA's last 40 years, its current state and the next 40 years. He put the future on display. "Today, we stand at a crossroads," he said. "We can take a business-as-usual approach to how we run the MTA, completing the projects that are currently underway and continuing the State of Good Repair program. Or we can set our sights higher. We can complete the projects underway, continue the State of Good Repair program and press on to give the region the network of mobility it needs to be competitive with its global peers."
For the most part, though, the speech held few surprises. Sander talked about the latest $29.5-billion, five-year capital plan; the fare hike and planned service upgrades; and the potential impact the congestion fee may have on transit.
He routinely stressed using the city's vast public transit network to remain a competitive 21st Century city. "Today's MTA is positioned to…become the best in class of large public transportation agencies in the world," he said. "New York is locked in a competition for brainpower and capital with places like London, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Paris. We cannot settle for a second-rate transportation network."
Sander also called upon the government to invest in mass transit in New York and throughout the country. "Next year, we will have four tunnel-boring machines operating to expand the subway and regional rail systems. Sounds impressive?" he said. "Right now, Shanghai has 90 such machines at work on rail and other projects…Our biggest global competitor, China, spends 9 percent of its gross domestic product on infrastructure.Meanwhile, the United States spends less than 1% of its GDP. That is unacceptable."
But the real Holy Grail of his speech came as he started speculating on the MTA's 40-year future. As the illustration up top shows, Sander did not hold back imaging a vastly different and improved subway system:
The Second Avenue Subway can act as a trunk line for new service to West Harlem, Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx…Consistent with the vision for a Lower Manhattan rail link, imagine the Second Avenue Subway running south to Lower Manhattan, then going under the East River to downtown Brooklyn and on to Jamaica, Queens, via the Long Island Rail Road's Atlantic Avenue Branch, with a connection to the AirTrain to JFK.
Second Avenue can also provide a Manhattan route for a new service in Queens, running through the 63rd Street tunnel relieve overcrowding on the Queens Boulevard line.
After completion of East Side Access and Second Avenue, the wave of investments that need to be made in the next 25 to 40 years should rely heavily on the MTA's diamonds in the rough: underutilized or dormant freight and commuter rail rights-of-way that can be transformed into subway lines; and lightly used middle tracks on subway lines that can be used for new express services…
In one scenario, the extension of the Second Avenue Subway I described could connect to new tracks within the right of way of the LIRR Main Line between Jamaica and Port Washington Junction. We can also utilize the Rockaway Beach right-of-way to provide new transit access from the Main Line corridor to southern Queens and the Rockaway Peninsula.
We need to take a close look at the Regional Plan Association's circumferential subway line, which would convert the lightly used Bay Ridge freight line into a subway service that would run in an arc from southern Brooklyn to Queens to the Bronx.
In the Bronx, we have at least two opportunities to give customers faster, more direct connections – something planners call "right-routing." We can extend the D train north and east to connect with the 2 and 5 trains at Gun Hill Road for more direct connections between the central Bronx and Manhattan's West Side…
The MTA network's 55 miles of underused middle track on elevated subway lines also represent a tremendous opportunity that we must exploit. These lines, primarily in Brooklyn and the Bronx, might enable additional express services to be operated, shortening travel times between these boroughs and the Manhattan core.
In the end, Sander's plan is ambitious, and as the builders noted, it sure does make the planners sound pretty good. But will it be a reality? Can it be a reality? The answer to the second question is yes; the answer to the first question is maybe.
The City needs the projects Sander is selling here, and someone needs to step up and take the reins. It's one thing to talk vaguely about subway expansion and the need for more lines. It's another thing entirely to do what Sander is doing and putting forward plans that could revolutionize and modernize New York's subway and public transit system.
For too long have the city and state leaders allowed the MTA to eke by on next to nothing. While Sander's plan may be unrealistic, it takes a visionary to move things forward, and as the MTA sits on the precipice of its next 40 years, today's speech made me think that Sander is the right man for the MTA at the right time.
As he said near the end of his speech, "As the MTA goes, so goes the region." Now, let's see what he can do.

I'm gonna say something controversial… why does everything have to be underground? Maybe we should be studying new clearings for elevated tracks and open cuts. I am sure it will cost less than moving utility lines, sewer pipes, and other underground items PLUS you create unique real estate with dynamic views.
All I can think about is the fact that there WAS an elevated system on second ave (and I believe 3 and 1 avenue too) and I believe it went all the way into the Bronx. it may have, if memory serves, connected with the current day 2 and 5 trains at 180 street station (and maybe some other places too).
Now the second ave subway can't be above ground for multiple reasons, but this new cut through brooklyn/queens may work better if it was mostly above ground. now that is a whole lot of "right of way – emanate domain" crazy-ness mess though…
Also extend the F further into queens OR create a real bus hub at 179 street (same for main street on the 7), connect to Staten Island using the 1 train, extend the SIRR into Staten Island (as opposed to around it), add 2 more tracks to the queens corridor even if those tracks have to be elevated (how feasible is that??? LOL)… can't think of any other expansions.
Well, you're partly going to get your wish if all this happens. The "circumferential subway" he referred to would heavily leverage existing rights-of-way, so it would indeed be mostly above ground.
Last night I saw three guys with jackhammers and two guys with shovels building the SAS. Lee Sand"er" needs a 40 year plan for this 30 block stubway.
Could you give more detail about the Bay Ridge Freight line? I can't seem to find a map showing where it runs, although it has a wikipedia entry:
It seems to follow the route of the M through Queens, and thus would make a really easy connector between the end of the M at Metropolitan and Queens Boulevard (E,F,G,R,V). I'd think that hooking those two pieces together would be a Good Thing.
That should read "about the Bay Ridge freight line".
I'm gonna say something controversial… why does everything have to be underground?
Come down to Roosevelt Avenue in Woodside and say that. You can say it all you want, but I won't be able to hear you over the roar of the train. The noise and the darkness are unpleasant. If we could put our line underground without taking money away from needed expansion projects, I'd want that.
Alfred, take a look here:
Here's an earlier discussion of the "TriboroRX" on Streetsblog:
In that discussion, I pointed out that the feasibility of the Bronx-to-Queens part is constrained by the capacity of the Hell Gate Bridge. The bridge used to have four tracks, and it has three now. Assuming you rebuilt the fourth track, those tracks would have to be shared by the existing Amtrak and freight service, plus the planned Metro-North service to Penn Station and Cross-Harbor freight tunnel traffic. It seems to me that you wouldn't be able to fit very many Cross-Harbor trains in between all that.
There are still a couple of parts of his speech I don't understand (nor can I find a transcript on the MTA web site — is there one?)
First, how can you run a subway on a "lightly used" freight line? According to FRA, you need heavier trains (commuter-rail style) if the tracks will also be used for freight – it can't be combined with rapid transit. MTA would either need to build parallel tracks for the subway, or stop the freight use and sever connections to other heavy rail altogether. NJ Transit circumvented this rule somewhat with the River Line, a diesel light-rail running from Trenton to Camden, by separating them by time (light-rail during the day, freight at night) so there is no chance of a collision.
Second, how will the subway run along the LIRR Atlantic Branch? Where will LIRR run? (I assume this is the section between Jamaica and Flatbush/Atlantic Ave). Most of this branch is a two-track tunnel through Brooklyn, although it is elevated in some spots. Unless the laws are changed, you can't mix commuter rail with rapid transit. It was tried in the past… the LIRR and BMT shared tracks, and LIRR briefly had a terminal station at the J/M/Z Chambers Street Station. There are some vague references on the web to this, but I haven't been able to find a comprehensive description.
A grand scheme, but I don't quite understand it. I thought connecting the Second Avenue Subway to the Staten Island Railway was the dream of the future, not more trains cluttering downtown Brooklyn.
Scott —
Freight service may be terminated (the implication is that it doesn't serve much purpose currently) or it may run in conjunction with commuter rail cars.
As for running on the Atlantic Ave branch, I imagine the Altantic Ave branch would be converted into a rapid transit service to Jamaica full time and passengers going into LI would switch to the LIRR.
The Bay Ridge LIRR branch is so lightly used that most people think it's already been abandoned. Robert Moses once wanted to use this right-of-way for a cross-Brooklyn expressway. It seems like the RPA has been talking about rapid transit in along this cut since the late 1960s, if not longer. I just hope that if they do build this line, it doesn't become a forgotten stepchild like a certain other line that doesn't enter Manhattan.
The idea of additional express services is interesting. I would love to see the Sea Beach express return as part of the effort to revive Coney Island.
I agree with Angus. Go to a neighborhood with elevated trains and tell me underground isn't vastly preferable. You can't have a conversation walking near those trains because of the noise and it's very unpleasant to live withing a couple blocks due to the noise and vibrations caused by the trains. I'd prefer more above ground service to no improvements, but not by much.
I've always thought the G was the best place to start in fixing transportation between BK and Queens. If you found a way to run the G to connect to Atlantic-Pacific and then ran it up past Queens Plaza it would connect enough trains to become very useful. If you could run it to Queensboro Plaza, connect to the F at Queensbridge and create a new path for it up 21st Street in Astoria/LIC you could probably find a way to cross into the Bronx. I'd also look into running the N out to Laguardia. Those changes seem more useful than adding service that stretches nearly to Long Island. Who is really gonna wanna ride all the way around the edge of BK and Queens to get into the city?
Mischa, the idea here is not to provide a long way into Manhattan. The goal is to provide service for people who want to travel between points in Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx without having to go through Manhattan. With this line, you could go from Brooklyn to Shea Stadium, er, Citifield without having to change at Times Square or Grand Central. You could get from Brighton Beach to Brooklyn College without having to drive or take a slow bus. Many, many possibilities.
Plus, there's that whole area east of Flatbush Avenue that would get subway service for the first time.
In some systems, like Tokyo and Moscow, the circular lines are the most congested. The G is underused because unlike the lines in Tokyo and Moscow, it hardly connects to anything; the northernmost line it directly connects to, the L, is indeed clogged. Triboro Line is built to connect to every line in the system except the 1, which runs too far west.
As for elevated lines, they can be very useful on highways – think the AirTrain and the Van Wyck. The safest way to add a LaGuardia AirTrain is probably to use the Grand Central Parkway. I'm still in favor of a network in western Queens involving an extension of SAS along Northern, an extension of the N/W along Ditmars and Astoria, and a LaGuardia shuttle under Junction, but it's not going to happen.
Angus you stole my thunder with that old Streetsblog post, great recall.
This was the address I wanted from the MTA . . . visionary.
The framing of NYC vs. Shanghai and other world hub cities is the way to go; we are at risk of seriously falling behind.
And let me "third" the criticism of elevated lines.
I question the sanity of all the people paying $1MM to live in DUMBO next to the bridge, because the trains coming roaring over the bridge like a thousand screaming harpies. I have bad hearing as it is, and the noise from that train causes me physical discomfort.
While the blighting effects of elevated structures are not as bad as the once were (raining cinders down on people below) they are ugly, noisy, block the light, and create an atmosphere of danger due to the darkened conditions below.
Like the pined for F-express, the circumferential line is one that could be brought on line with a comparatively small investment. And if we are going to get people to abandon their cars, we do need to make the city more accessible to transit riders. Why on earth should someone from Bay Ridge have to get to Queens via Manhattan?
We need a Marshall Plan for the subway system. I am hopeful that this year, we'll get a Democratic president (Go Obama!) and a larger majority in both houses of Congress and finally get the federal funding we need to make it happen. And when we do, we need to have plans in hand to be first in line for the money.
This is beyond a transit issue: it's environmental policy, it's energy policy, it's national security policy. We need to break free of our reliance on oil.
Like the pined for F-express, the circumferential line is one that could be brought on line with a comparatively small investment.
Lest we get ahead of ourselves, the best conceivable scenario is merely that some kind of planning for the circumferential line would get underway within the next 10 years. The recently unveiled 5-year capital plan made no mention of it, and if that plan is adopted in its entirety, it would be the most expensive ever. Therefore, it's reasonable to guess that planning—not construction, but just planning—is more than five years away.
It's weird that they're not planning to do this sooner, since the existing ROW and the open cut nature of the line mean that they can complete the project very quickly by New York standards.
Its about time that someone at the Metropolitan Transportation Authority put 2 and 2 together and figured out that this city is need of imporve public transit. Now, can the knockle heads in Albany get ball rolling and provide the money needed for these improvement.
I agree with Angus. Go to a neighborhood with elevated trains and tell me underground isn't vastly preferable. You can't have a conversation walking near those trains because of the noise and it's very unpleasant to live withing a couple blocks due to the noise and vibrations caused by the trains. I'd prefer more above ground service to no improvements, but not by much.
No one likes the elevated train? lol I am guessing everyone has visions of elevated train and their noise levels (and yet, somehow in Williamsburg, the J line, rent is sky high for a room 20 feet from the wheels of a 40 ton tin can). What I am more inclined to thinking is that the elevated sections will be more like the 7 train over queens blvd.
I think the 7 train over queens blvd is the perfect example of train, street, industrial, residential, and commercial. Why not do it that way? buildings that are residential can be built better with noise proofing… the elevated tracks will use the new noise deafening track and gravel so trains will make more of a cool sound instead of a hard one.
Well, this is what I'm doing in my Train Sim game modeling what I would like NYC subways to do. elevated tracks become destinations instead of dark drama that many places look like.
Because the ghost of Robert Moses would return to haunt you until you stopped.
Lots of information about the preliminary planning study I did at the RPA on the circumferential line in question, which we've taken to calling the "Triboro RX", is available here:
Mike, is there any cost estimate for Triboro Line?
The 7 line over Queens Boulevard is great, but that's partly because it's not actually over Queens Boulevard, it's over the parking areas, which can get pretty loud.
The 7 line over Roosevelt Avenue is not much fun to be under, and I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who believes otherwise.
If the technology is there to make the 7 train quieter on Roosevelt, I could probably raise the funds myself in an hour just standing on the corner of Roosevelt and Woodside with a tin can.
It's there – it's called rubber-tired metro. Unfortunately, it tends not to perform very well on iced elevated tracks. Neither of the two obvious solutions – to put the entire system underground, and to move the city south of the snow line – is feasible.
You can make steel rail elevated tracks pretty quiet, but it will cost you. DC's Metro is pretty quiet on its elevated portions. Likewise, if you've ever ridden Detroit's People Mover or other similar new generation systems, they're whisper-quiet.
I'm unsure how much of that is the track (I know some of it is for sure) and how much is the rolling stock, but it can be done.
That doesn't eliminate the other problems with elevated lines, but it's a start.
This is a great blog for advice finding reliable couriers and messengers. I'm always on the lookout for good information. Another great place is SME
Why dose this system have to be so noisy, perhaps the tracks and/or the train wheels should be covered with rubber
I live close by subway tracks it's driving me nuts; it also wakes the children up

Project 365 - Image 198/365
After the long travel yesterday from Aaachen to Dusseldorf Airport, to Chicago Airport, to Portland Airport and then finally the drive to the city of Hillsboro the little guys (and myself) were completely shattered so we all pretty much fell into bed and were snoring within seconds.
This morning however I was awakened by lots of muffled giggles coming from the other side of the bed, and when I turned around I found Babo and Turtle on either side of Cinko and funnier still Ox standing on top of Cinko's head signalling with her hands (5....4....3....2....1). As she signaled 1, the trio starting yelling at the top of their voices at which point Cinko managed to levitate right out of the bed screaming as he did so.
If I wasn't still like a zombie myself it would probably have been funnier, so we're off now to find some breakfast and then probably get another couple of hours sleep to get us in sync with the timezone out here on the West coast.

By the Left Coast Rebel
Can this guy get any more idiotic and delusional?
From left-wing TPM:
Yes, the immediate implosion of Newt Gingrich's campaign is "historic", I've never seen a candidate declare and then self destruct so quickly. Will it be a Gingrich self-labeled "historic" moment when he garners single digits in Iowa?
Touring Waterloo, Iowa today, Newt Gingrich attributed part of the media frenzy surrounding his "challenging week" to his campaign's historic nature.
"It's going to take a while for the news media to realize that you're covering something that happens once or twice in a century, a genuine grass-roots campaign of very big ideas," Gingrich said, according to the Associated Press. "I expect it to take a while for it to sink in."
Did anyone here see/hear his appearance on Rush Limbaugh's show yesterday? Coincidentally calling in from Waterloo, Iowa (hah!), his appearance on the show was not pretty:
On Rush's show he talked too much, lied about what the controversy was about (no, I wasn't talking about Ryan's plan) and doesn't know when to just simply put a fork in it.
This whole spectacle is almost enough to make me feel sorry for the guy but it comes down to this: it's a good thing that we are weeding one of the many statist GOPers out of the race -- Newt Gingrich is no conservative and his personal baggage alone should disqualify him from serious consideration.
If you want a real hoot, read Alex Pareene at Salon, "How Gingrich can still win the GOP nomination — and the presidency" (it's obviously a satirical piece written by a libtard but showcases just how ludicrous things are in the GOP field).
Via Memeorandum, here.

Function of pili in Prokaryotic cell
Cell wall: Protects the cell from the outside environment and maintains the shape of the cell. It also prevents the cell from bursting if internal pressure rises.
Plasma membrane: Semi-permeable membrane that controls the substances moving into and out of the cell. It contains integral and peripheral proteins. Substances pass through by either active or passive transport.
Cytoplasm: Contains many enzymes used to catalyze chemical reactions of metabolism and it also contains the DNA in a region called the nucleoid. Ribosomes are also found in the cytoplasm.
Pili: Help bacteria adhere to each other for the exchange of genetic material.
Flagella (singular flagellum): Made of a protein called flagellin. Helps bacteria move around by the use of a motor protein that spins the flagellum like a propeller.
Ribosomes: They are the site of protein synthesis. Contributes to protein synthesis by translating messenger RNA.
Nucleoid: Region containing naked DNA which stores the hereditary material (genetic information) that controls the cell and will be passed on to daughter cells.

Karisma Kapoor may return to television
Karisma Kapoor, was was one of the top actresses back in the late 90s, and has since been seen on TV shows and reality shows, says if may return to television if anything grabs her attention.
"Maybe I will do TV again. I like to pick and choose what I do. So maybe I will, if something interesting comes up," Karisma said at a promotional event.
The 38-year-old actress made her TV debut in 2003 with Karishma - The Miracles of Destiny, and then judged reality shows like Nach Baliye 4 and Aaja Mahi Vay.
The actress was part of some of the biggest commercial successes like Raja Hindustani, Dil To Pagal Hai, Hero No 1 and Biwi No.1 back in in the day, and last year made her not so successful comeback in Vikram Bhatt's ridiculous film Dangerous Ishhq. She will also feature in a cameo in Bombay Talkies which releases this week (3 May 2013).
Talking about Bombay Talkies and 100 years of Indian cinema, she said: "I think the entire film fraternity wanted to be a part of the 100 years of cinema, and I think it's great that all the actors took out time to be a part of it. Because we all love cinema and acting."
She added that "it's a great way to celebrate the 100 years" by giving something back to the audience "for appreciating all of us for so long".
The actress also mentioned that she enjoys looking back at roles she has done. "It's great. I enjoy them. The stars come from down the ladder to reach the top, but when you are there, you think where do you go from there? It was a great learning experience. Working really hard and doing four shifts a day," she said and pointed out that today's actors enjoy a very different life than that.
"But I think I also enjoyed the whole experience," she added.
Karisma, a mother of two kids - Samaira and Kiaan Raj Kapoor - says now her priorities are her children.
"It's all about your priorities. And my priorities will always be my kids."
For new moms, she advised: "Don't worry, be stress free and you are a great mom."
Wise words indeed Karisma.

We've been having a full-on, sweltering, no-joke sort of summer here in Seattle. I've lost track of the number of days the temperature has peaked above 90°. Whether or not to buy an air conditioner is a hot topic of conversation. And you can actually swim in the (normally frigid) ocean this year.
I'm not complaining (well, maybe a little bit) because for once, it actually feels like summer in Seattle. There's no ambiguity this year; summer is happening. It is undeniably time to get your beach-game on, grab your flip-flops and gather your people together for an impromptu picnic or barbecue.
And it's definitely time for watermelon.
Sweet, ripe, juicy watermelon is summer by the slice.
There have been Seattle summers where carving fat wedges of watermelon under grey skies and pouring rain would have felt...wrong. But this year, I'm buying watermelon after watermelon, in celebration of all this sun.
So this week I wanted to share a recipe for a watermelon cocktail that's just right for a summer gathering with friends or family. It's dead easy to make. Just whiz some watermelon in the blender, juice a few limes, stir together a honey simple syrup and you'll be pouring up this bright summer cocktail in no time.
Honey-Watermelon Cocktails with a Vanilla Salt Rim
- ½ cup honey (I used wildflower honey)
- 2 tablespoons coarse salt
- 1 vanilla bean
- 4 cups strained watermelon juice (the approximate yield of 1 mini seedless watermelon)
- ½ cup freshly-squeezed lime juice
- 10 oz. (1 ¼ cup) gin
- 2 limes, cut into wedges, for garnish
*Notes: I used Maldon sea salt (because it's my fave) and Hendrick's Gin (because its floral notes work really well with the watermelon, honey and vanilla). But feel free to experiment and see what you like.
First, make a honey simple syrup by combining the honey and ¼ cup boiling water in a heatproof bowl or measuring cup. Stir until the honey is completely dissolved. Set aside to cool.
Make the the vanilla salt while the simple syrup is cooling: cut the vanilla bean in half lengthwise with a sharp paring knife. Use the knife to scrape out the vanilla seeds and rub them into the salt until they are evenly distributed.
Make the cocktail base by combining the watermelon juice, lime juice, 6 tablespoons of the simple syrup and the gin in a mixing bowl or pitcher. Whisk to combine. (The cocktail base can be stored for up to 3 days, covered, in the fridge.)
To assemble cocktail: Pour some of the honey simple syrup into a small plate with a lip. Transfer the salt to a similar plate. Dip the rim of a lowball or stemmed cocktail glass into the simple syrup then place the glass in the vanilla salt and turn to coat the rim evenly. Fill the glass with ice, fill with cocktail base and garnish with a lime wedge.
Makes about 8 cocktails.

Vibrant pale red in colour. Aromas of plums, cherry and lifted floral notes. The palate is light to medium bodied with strawberry, raspberry and cherry fruit flavours. This is an elegant wine with great structure and length. Allegiance Wines has sourced this parcel of Pinot Noir. This wine is an excellent example of the outstanding results possible, when an allegiance between growers and winemakers creates their best expression of the varietal and vintage. Drinking great now or cellar potential of 3-4 years.

by Walter Walker
In the tradition of Scott Turow, William Landay, and Nelson DeMille, Crime of Privilege is a stunning thriller about power, corruption, and the law in America - and the dangerous ways they come together.
A murder on Cape Cod. A rape in Palm Beach.
All they have in common is the presence of one of America's most beloved and influential families. But nobody is asking questions. Not the police. Not the prosecutors. And certainly not George Becket, a young lawyer toiling away in the basement of the Cape & Islands district attorney's office. George has always lived at the edge of power. He wasn't born to privilege, but he understands how it works and has benefitted from it in ways he doesn't like to admit. Now, an investigation brings him deep inside the world of the truly wealthy - and shows him what a perilous place it is.
Years have passed since a young woman was found brutally slain at an exclusive Cape Cod golf club, and no one has ever been charged. Cornered by the victim's father, George can't explain why certain leads were never explored - leads that point in the direction of a single family - and he agrees to look into it.
What begins as a search through the highly stratified layers of Cape Cod society, soon has George racing from Idaho to Hawaii, Costa Rica to France to New York City. But everywhere he goes he discovers people like himself: people with more secrets than answers, people haunted by a decision years past to trade silence for protection from life's sharp edges. George finds his friends are not necessarily still friends and a spouse can be unfaithful in more ways than one. And despite threats at every turn, he is driven to reconstruct the victim's last hours while searching not only for a killer but for his own redemption.

"Starred Review. Are the Gregorys guilty, or has someone who resents their wealth and power made them targets? George must find his own moral compass, in a summer read notable for credible characters and unpredictable twists." - Publishers Weekly
"Starred Review. Walker's sixth novel (after The Appearance of Impropriety) is an outstanding crime story with spot-on characterization, a protagonist whose humiliating past compels sympathy, and a host of unexpected suspects. The novel's moral complexity will appeal to readers who enjoyed works as diverse as Tom Wolfe's Bonfire of the Vanities, Nelson DeMille's The Gold Coast, and any number of contemporary thrillers." - Library Journal
"Even when the action slows, Walker maintains his dry, sometimes biting humor and moral edge. In his first novel since The Appearance of Impropriety (1993), San Francisco trial lawyer Walker delivers a convincing portrait of misbehavior among the rich and powerful." - Kirkus
"Walter Walker combines an experienced attorney's sense of our flawed criminal justice system with a natural storyteller's gift. Crime of Privilege is a twisting, engrossing, irresistible detective story." - William Landay, author of Defending Jacob
"Crime of Privilege is not only a first-class legal thriller, it is an astute examination of our society and how we are corrupted by power and money. The rich are indeed different; they get away with murder. An absolutely engrossing read from beginning to end. Not only is it a well told story of crime and punishment, but also a finely nuanced tale of sin and redemption." - Nelson DeMille
"Crime of Privilege is wonderfully written, and Walter Walker has a great talent, the God-given kind that can't be taught or learned or acquired, and the reader knows it from the first paragraph of the book. The characters are complex and interesting yet also emblematic of all the players in the class war, which is the stuff of all epic stories. I love the protagonist, and I also love the portrayal of the world of the very rich. There is something about the very rich that is hard to describe, but Walter Walker got them in the camera's lens perfectly." - James Lee Burke
"A gripping, chilling tale that pits privilege against pride, with a not-entirely-innocent man caught in the untenable middle." - Chris Pavone, New York Times bestselling author of The Expats
The information about Crime of Privilege shown above was first featured in "The BookBrowse Review" - BookBrowse's online-magazine that keeps our members abreast of notable and high-profile books publishing in the coming weeks. In most cases, the reviews are necessarily limited to those that were available to us ahead of publication.

Walter Walker is a trial lawyer in San Francisco, who has homes in Marin County, California, and on Cape Cod. He is the author of six novels, including Crime of Privilege (Ballantine, 2013), The Appearance Of Impropriety (Pocket, 1993), The Immediate Prospect of Being Hanged (Viking, 1989), Rules of the Knife Fight (Harper & Row, 1986), The Two Dude Defense (Harper & Row, 1985), and A Dime to Dance By (Harper & Row, 1983), which was named Best First Novel by a California Author. He is a graduate of the Northfield Mount Hermon School, the University of Pennsylvania and the University of California, Hastings College of the Law. He has been a finalist for California Trial Attorney of the Year (2003) and San Francisco Trial Attorney of the Year (2011).

Shower Shock Caffeinated Soap ($7): We featured this a while back in our roundup of 7 Oddly Caffeinated Products, but this bar of soap's gadgetry deserves a place here as well. Wake up before you've even had your first cup of joe. Using natural ingredients including peppermint oil and caffeine anhydrous, each bar of Shower Shock contains approximately 12 servings (servings = showers) per 4 oz bar, with 200 milligrams of caffeine per serving. Kind of crazy, right?

Horizontal Shower Concept: Ok, this looks awesome but also insane. Not totally sure how one gets clean while lying down, but we're intrigued. The description references the "Ambiance Tuning Technique" which allows the user to decide between Balancing, Energizing, and/or De-Stressing shower flow.
How do you spice up your shower routine? Got an ingenious DIY for keeping all those shower necessities in check? Leave us a note in the comments below.

Updated: Dec 29, 2015
You can now officially call them Mr. and Mrs! ONE LIFE TO LIVE stars Terri Conn (Aubrey) and Austin Peck (Rick) were married on July 1. "It's official," tweeted the groom on Saturday. "Miss Terri Conn is now Mrs. Terri Peck."
The marriage marks the second for each actor, who met while playing husband and wife Brad and Katie on AS THE WORLD TURNS. Peck is the father to two boys, Aidan, almost 9, and Roman, 6, while Conn's daughter Julia will be 7 later this week. There is no official word yet from ABC if Conn will be using her married name professionally, as she did on ATWT while married to her first husband. Congratulations to the happy blended family!

A view in Aloha, on the TV Highway/photo from Wikipedia
It's a choice you can make, but be aware that there are two sides to it …
One of our favorite area eateries has been Reo's BBQ, which features southern-style que in the proper manner – only but so many in the Northwest can make that claim. Its current location is in southern Portland, but that's recent: Until a few months back it was located west of PDX on the Tualatin Valley Highway in the non-city called Aloha.
Aloha is something like White Center southwest of Seattle, or maybe the Southwest Community near Boise – a large mass of population, an urbanized area, that is not a city and doesn't want to become or join one, however much they may look and act like one. The biggest reason seems to be taxes: Live in the unincorporated county, and property taxes are lower.
That's one side of the equation. An article on Aloha in this morning's Oregonian outlines some of the other side.
For example: "In the past 20 years, businesses have closed, leaving boarded-up shells along Tualatin Valley Highway, the blue-collar community's main artery. Nearly a quarter of the county's [that would be Washington County, population over a half-million] low-income, public housing is in Aloha. The area lacks sidewalks and nutritious food sources, the county told Metro earlier this year. The county-designated town center is a Big Lots and Little Caesar's pizza."
In fact the number of boarded-up businesses has grown around Aloha visibly faster than in most of the cities nearby, from large Portland (about a dozen miles away) on down. A number of them, like Reo's, have moved on. Necessary services will be improved, from the physical like roads and sidewalks to the professional like safety and law enforcement. The larger cities of Beaverton and Hillsboro, on either side of Aloha, seem to be in better shape. And, the article makes clear, neither is eager to absorb Aloha because the region now would be costly to bring up to standards. (There's even a running joke between the city officials there – "No, I don't want it; you take it.)
Are taxes so obviously a detriment to business? Read the article and then consider again.Share on Facebook

Tenting helps make for some of the most thrilling travel activities. It can aid self-discovery, and it offers a particular person with the opportunity to get nearer to nature. You can hike and roast marshmallows over an open up fireplace. Camping gives a superb opportunity to participate in several actions, but this post will give you audio tips for a memorable encounter.

This category of furniture in my collection of original Arts and Crafts designs range from desks, sideboards, and dressers to hutches, display cases, and traditional armoires. If you can't find it here you can talk to me about custom commissioning the piece.
Please click on images to enlarge them.
Reading from left to right in the above .
ALLEN HUTCH (first photo upper left) Black walnut, ropey figured cherry, leaded glass. Dimensions are 61" wide x 83" high x 25" deep. This was a custom piece originally commissioned by Jeremy & Debby Allen in Pennsylvania. No two pieces of my work are exactly the same but the price for a piece similar to the Allen Hutch is $19,750
WYATT HUTCH (pictured second from left in top row above ) Black walnut, figured cherry, leaded glass. Dimensions are 79"wide x 82"high x 24"deep. This was a speculation piece I built in 1996 which I owned for two weeks before John & De Wyatt saw it and purchased the piece for their home in Virginia. This is a very grand piece that is now aged to perfection. As is the case in most of my work, no two of my pieces are exactly the same but the price for a hutch similar to the design of the Wyatt's Hutch is $23,850
ARMOIRE NO. 1 (pictured third from right in top row above) Black walnut, crotch walnut, leaded glass. Dimensions are 57"wide x 78"tall x 26"deep. The side of this piece is also pictured behind my mug shot at the top of this page. You can see the removable pins that are used to knock down the piece for moving in that photo. I was honored to have a 7 page feature done on this piece in "AMERICAN WOODWORKER" magazine. Depending on the interior design specs, a piece similar to this is $17,850
FIVE DRAWER HIGH BOY DRESSER (pictured on far right on the top row of pictures) Radical figured cherry and black walnut. Dimensions are 38"wide x 50"high x 22'deep. This design was originally custom commissioned by J&D Wyatt and but my wife liked the design so much that I made one for our own bedroom as well. This piece is very beautiful functional piece. You can commission one similar for $12,950
Hogue Armoire 2001 (pictured first on left in bottom row of pictures above) Walnut and Radical figured Cherry.. Dimensions are 57" x 83" x 27". This piece is fitted out as a wardrobe in the interior. As it is very sizable piece, the pins you see on the side actually knock it down so it can be broken apart for transport and moving purposes. This is a traditional French style Armoire in that the doors float in space on a top and bottom pivot point. Hinges are completely blind both inside and out. I am currently building a piece very similar to this for my own home. A commissioned piece of this configuration executed in similar extraordinary rare figured woods is $15,750
DESK (pictured second from left in bottom row of pictures above) Cherry & Walnut. Dimensions are 30" x 30" x 72". This piece was originally commissioned for the library of STAR HOUSE which is a rather famous private residence in Miami Florida and is where the original of this piece resides today. You can commission a similar piece for $14,850
ALLEN TV CABINET (pictured in the middle in the bottom row of pictures above) Ropey figured cherry and black walnut. Dimensions are 47"wide x 38'high x 29"deep. This piece was designed to hold television and assorted entertainment equipment a bit more elegantly than in one of those normal large scale entertainment center cabinets. The piece is charming and quite functional. The doors swing completely back to a flush position along the side of the cabinet when in use. The only metal hardware that is visible anywhere on the cabinet in either the open or closed position are a very small portion of the knife hinges that pivot the doors. Cost of this piece is $8,550
WITKES SIDE BOARD (pictured on lower right above) Walnut and Cherry. Dimensions are 67"wide x 35"high x 20"deep. Being a purely custom piece for Ann Witkes in Pennsylvania this piece should probably be on my CUSTOM PAGE but I thought it should be here so interested folks could get a handle on how much a side board similar to this would cost. Depending on drawer and interior detailing a piece like this would be approximately $14,550

Director Harish Shankar created a fresh controversy between Jr.NTR fans and Mega fans with his tweet. He wished Jr.Ntr on his birthday saying, "Many more Happy returns to the One and "only One" take Hero @tarak9999 Wishing You loads of success with all ur upcoming projects".
Jr.Ntr fans were happy with the tweet and soon started trolling Allu Arjun fans saying that "Even the director who is currently directing Allu Arjun is praising our hero as One and "only One" take Hero, this shows that your Allu Arjun is poor in acting and how much torture Harish Shankar would have been experiencing in directing Allu Arjun for Duvvada Jagannadham movie"
This made Allu Arjun fans angry and cursing Harish Shankar saying that "If you need another chance to direct Jr.Ntr praise him but not at the cost of insulting our hero, Allu Arjun. Atleast show some respect to the Mega Family who had given you blockbuster". It is heard that the director Harish Shankar may soon give a biscuit to the Allu Arjun fans to appease them.
