Extra Innings: 05/04/07
Here are a sample of some emails that came through in the final moments of the show…
1) Hey guys, John is right about this being the first time a #8 seed beat a #1 seed, in a 7 game set
Dustin South
2) You are both right. It was the first time a 8 seed beat a 1 in a 7 game series. Thanks, Chris
3) Hi Guys, If the Mavericks had not tanked a late regular season game against the Warriors and instead tanked the game against the Clippers they would have faced the Clippers in the first round and the Warriors would not even be in the playoffs. Matthias in Austria
4) Hey cooch, Marzano is correct. This is the first time a 8 has beat a 1 in a 7 game series. The other 2 times were in a 5 game series. Bleacher Dave in Oakland
5) Man that John Marzano runs his mouth. How about the same day he loses to Sterno in video game baseball, he fights Micucci for 2 rounds. If Micucci survives, Marzano has to give up cheese steak for a year. If Marzano ko?s Micucci, Vinny has to host every show on MLB Radio for the entire day: Leading Off, Fantasy 411, Midday, Leading Off (no rerun), Bottom Line, Wheelhouse, and UTL. Just an interesting idea. Nate in Chicago
This clearly means business…..
Tale of the Tape
Micucci vs. Marzano
5'9" and 9/10s 5'11" – this is a stretch
185 lbs 205
Reach: 4 feet Reach: for donuts only
Advantage – youth Advantage – actual athlete
Disadvantage – shirt selection Disadvantage – always talking
1 Comment
Can there be a Double KO? My guess on how the fight would go… Marzano reaches for the last donut… Micucci reaches for the last new shirt on the rack… the problem is, in the process they knock each other to the ground because the item they are reaching for is behind their opponent's back. Due to the furiousity of the reach for their favorite items, the blows end the fight before it even begins.
Ding! Ding! Ding! KO! KO!
Sound about right?

Social Engineering. Any protocols in place to prevent it?
After just recently reading an article about a recent social engineering attack on a twitter user involving Godaddy and Paypal; I was curious to find out what protocols DigitalOcean has in place to prevent these attacks. It's pretty concerning since OTP was enabled and someone still managed to gain control of his Godaddy and Twitter account. It's a pretty interesting read: http://gizmodo.com/how-i-lost-my-50-000-twitter-username-1511578384

When bugsly is traveling, you can reach her via email.
While in Heliopolis we relaxed and swam all day, eventually stopping for a meal or two. After taking a long nap, we awoke at about 1:00 a.m. and headed out to catch our flight to Athens, Greece. After about a two hour flight we landed safely even though the winds were very strong. Luckily we didn't miss our flight for if we had we would have been stuck in Egypt for two more days because the winds kept up. After arriving we met our good family friend Kostas who picked us up and took us back to his flat where we all slept until about five or so in the afternoon. Finally after a long day and night of travel we sat around and listened to howling wind that came all the way from the Sahara Desert.
There are three types of "Kiwi's" in New Zealand. Kiwi birds, Kiwi fruit and the New Zealanders call themselves "Kiwis"!

Growing up in 1960s Wales as the daughter of an immigrant Italian couple had its ups and downs. Familiarity with such exotic delicacies as aubergines, tortellini, tiramisu and real coffee fell firmly into the up camp; fried eels, pigs' trotters and driving to Italy for the annual summer family holiday were definitely downsides. But as an adult, looking back on those trips, one memory still stands out: driving the glorious Autostrada del Sole (the A1, at 745km Italy's longest motorway) and the Autostrada A3 Napoli-Reggio Calabria.
Banner Image Credit: iStock.com/amoklv
This final leg, from Naples to Salerno, signified our journey's end, and with its gorgeous views out over the gulf of Salerno and the azure waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea, even we ungrateful, disgruntled children who wanted to spend our summer holidays with friends rather than barely known Italian relatives would begin to feel excited about the six weeks that stretched ahead of us.
Image Credit: iStock.com/bluejayphoto
Perhaps because of this personal history, I think Salerno is one of the nicest cities in Italy, yet it remains one of its most underrated. Quite why this is has always been a mystery to me. It's cleaner, more manageable and less edgy than its more famous neighbour Naples, and has a number of great attractions.
Chief amongst these are its beautiful old town, where impressive and imposing churches and noblemen's houses – among them the baroque Church of San Giorgio, the Palazzo d'Avossa, which features some stunning frescoes, and the predominantly 17th-century Duomo cathedral of patron saint St Matthew, where various restorations have revealed large sections of the original 11th-century Romanesque architecture – line ancient streets where medical students from all over the world walked nearly a thousand years ago, studying at the Scuola Medica Salernitana.
Wherever you look, the town's long history is beautifully evoked; on the narrow Vicolo delle Galesse, craftsmen once made coaches, gorgeous little Via Masuccio Salernitano is named for the 15th-century local poet and writer, and Vicolo della Neve takes its name from the fact that snow (neve) was stored here in cold dark caves and cellars. And dotted through them, tiny shops and cafes set around lively piazzas cater to locals stopping for an espresso at historical locations like Caffe dei Mercanti (Via Mercanti 114), queueing for ice-creams at Gelateria Gerry Di Santoro Gerardo (Via Giovanni da Procida 33) and enjoying pastries from Pantaleone pasticceria (Via Mercanti 75), whose shocking-pink scazzetta cake is famed throughout the region – and has even been sampled by Bill Clinton, the Queen and Pope John Paul II.
Image Credit: iStock.com/Roberto Lo Savio
But to visit Salerno and only explore its old town would be to miss out on one of its most iconic sights and activities – Lungomare Trieste. Filled with palm trees and plants, this elegant seafront promenade of just under five miles is perfect people-watching territory, particularly on a Sunday when whole families get dressed up to the nines to do the passegiata.
It's an experience that used to keep me enthralled for hours as a child; returning recently, I was enchanted by the fact that it's clearly an enduring social must, having barely changed in the 40 years since I last experienced it. What has is the nearby port. Here, Zaha Hadid's Maritime Terminal finally opened last month – 16 years after she won a competition to design it and five years later than scheduled, but hey, that's the bass'Italia way – as the final part of a redevelopment scheme that has totally transformed this once functional, always rather ugly part of town.
Image Credit: iStock.com/altirri
From Hadid's gorgeous new oyster-shell-shaped building, passengers can board ferries and boats to nearby tourist spots like Amalfi and Capri, but also venture as far as Sicily, Genoa and Tunisia. And even non-passengers can enjoy glorious views out over the Gulf from the terminal's expansive terraces.
For the best views though, it's worth heading up to Castello di Arechi, a hulking 7th-century mass that looms almost 1,000ft above the town. Built over pre-existing earlier fortifications dating back to Roman and Byzantine times, its most appealing element is the view it offers over the city and gulf; from here, it's possible to look along the coast to the Cilento region south of Salerno, and while its standout attraction, Paestum, isn't visible from here, it's an easy and hugely enjoyable 1-hour drive away along the coastal SP175.
Image Credit: iStock.com/MariaMarcone
Close up, the remains of the Greek civilisation that made Poseidonia its home in 600BC, before being replaced by local Lucanians and later, in 273BC, the Romans, who named it Paestum, are astonishing, from their three beautifully preserved Greek temples to their forum and amphitheatre. It's a lovely site to wander, quiet and elegiac, and a long long way from the tourist hell of Pompeii.
Indeed, unlike the maddeningly frustrating congestion of the Amalfi coast's SS163, the SP175 is rarely busy, and beyond it lie attractions for everyone, whether a hiker, history fan, horticulturalists or gastronome. Canny visitors in the latter camp, for example, don't leave Paestum without a trip to Tenuta Vannulo, a 'mozzarella farm' offering not just amazing mozzarella, but also tours of the facility in different languages, taking in enticing looking buffalo pens, the cheese-making processes and a small museum.
Image Credit: iStock.com/PennaPazza
As the SP175 splits into inland and coastal options, the choices become ever more alluring – you could take the scenic route across the National Park of Cilento (celebrating 18 years of UNESCO heritage status this year) to explore the twists and turns of the caves that make up the Grotte di Castelcivita and Grotte dell'Angelo caves at Pertosa, stopping to do some glorious hiking in the park en route.
The 100km of coastline is a delight too, with arresting medieval hilltop towns like Castellabate and ruined medieval villages like San Severino fighting it out in the beauty competition with pretty seaside resorts like Acciaroli (home to Ernest Hemingway in the 1950s) and Pioppi. Santa Maria di Castellabate too is a delight, and offers excellent scuba diving; at Palinuro beautiful beaches on land and stunning clefts and caverns at sea, including the Blue Cavern, make for an amazing day out. Possibly not, when you're a stroppy teenager, as amazing as a day out at Kidwelly beach with your best friends, but looking back, I realise I was very very lucky to have ever been in the enviable position of being dragged to this very very special region every year. I still hate pigs' trotters and fried eels though.

Research in the mid-1950s revealed Americans were spending more money on radios, televisions and musical instruments and less on books, according to the American Library Association. Out of concern that people were reading less, National Library …
It may not be surprising to hear that a survey showed only 17 percent of Americans were in the middle of reading a book. But what may come as a surprise is that the survey was conducted in 1957.
Research in the mid-1950s revealed Americans were spending more money on radios, televisions and musical instruments and less on books, according to the American Library Association. Out of concern that people were reading less, National Library Week was eventually formed in 1958.
Sixty years later, the week devoted to libraries remains as important as ever. Between streaming TV shows, scrolling through social media, surfing the internet, listening to podcasts or playing games, our smartphones have given us more options for entertainment and distractions than anyone could have thought possible in the 1950s.
While a primary goal of National Library Week — to motivate people to read more — has remained constant for the past 60 years, libraries also have evolved with technology.
Beyond paperbacks and hardcovers, libraries' catalogs expanded over the decades to include movies, CDs, audiobooks and e-books.
Since the early days of the internet, libraries have provided free access to local residents. While Wi-Fi may seem ubiquitous today, not everyone has a computer or device to hop online. However, thanks to library computers, anyone can send an email, apply for a job or file their taxes.
Of course, when it comes to technology, the library does more than just offer internet access. The Park County Library System's free online resources range from e-books to encyclopedias to archives to databases to classes.
While we're tethered to technology in so many areas of our lives, our local library also remains the best place to simply unplug and find a good book.
If you need a recommendation — or if you don't have a library card — a librarian will be there to help. National Library Week is a good time to renew your interest in the local library if it's been a while since you last visited.
This year's celebration is especially meaningful for those of us at the Tribune, as The Friends of the Powell Branch Library group is helping to remember our late friend and colleague Gib Mathers with a journalistic writing contest in his honor. The two winning stories from the inaugural contest are on display at the Powell library this week and you can find the winning entry printed in Tuesday's edition of the Tribune as well. Gib was a true friend of the library, and we're glad to see his appreciation for a good story live on in a place he loved.

I have started the juice diet this evening. We bought fruits and vegetables from Sam's for me to juice. I have had nothing but juice and water since lunch and I am feeling hungry. I shouldn't be because I am taking in enough nutrients but I have gotten used to eating so much all the time that it feels odd not to be munching food at all. I will try to see how long my determination to lose weight lasts. The husband has been tempting me to eat burritos that he made but I am not doing it. I want to do this a few days. From experience, the first three days are the hardest so we will see if I will persevere or give in. I will let you know.

This past week Bill Maher cause a ton of controversy. During his Real Time with Bill Maher show, he spoke with Republican Senator Ben Sasse who asked the host to "work the fields with us." Mr. Mahr then responded "Working the fields? Senator, I'm a house n*gger." After a whole lot of backlash over the past few days, Bill invited the west coast wordsmith and more, Ice Cube to the show.
While he was there to promote the 25th-anniversary version of his album Death Certificate, he also confronted Bill about the controversy. Ice Cube stated "I knew you was gonna f*ck up sooner or later. I love your show, but uh, you be bucking up against that line a little bit. You know you got a lot of black jokes." Ice Cube went on to add that "Sometimes you sound like a redneck trucker." Cube then replied with a monolog that you can read in full below. Check out the conversation below and let us know your thoughts in the comments.
I accept your apology, but I think we need to get to the root of the psyche. Because I think it's a lot of guys out there, who cross the line because they're a little too familiar or they think they too familiar. Or it's guys that you know, might have a black girlfriend or two that made them some Kool-Aid every now and then. And they think they can cross the line. And they can't. It's a word that's been used against us. It's like a knife, man. You can use it as a weapon or you can use it as a tool. It's been used as a weapon, against us. By white people. And we not gonna let that happen again. By nobody. Because it's not cool.

The Australian Taxation Office has put businesses on notice that it will be scrutinising claims for R&D tax incentives after spotting a batch of claims for run-of-the-mill software development activities under the scheme.
The ATO and AusIndustry have sent out an alert to businesses making it clear the taxman will not look kindly on organisations that claim tax offsets for things like bug testing, beta testing or user requirements testing of a new software product.
The R&D incentive scheme allows companies to apply for tax offsets for "experimental" software development activities, which seek to prove or disprove a hypothesis and generate new knowledge.
But the ATO said it has seen too many companies trying to bundle the cost of whole software projects under the incentive scheme, or claim for software activities they think are risky - but still don't meet the government's R&D test.
"While most do the right thing, we are seeing some businesses ... and their advisors improperly applying for the tax incentive where the activities and expenditure claimed don't match with legislative requirements," ATO deputy commissioner Michael Cranston said.
The ATO warned "it is extremely unlikely that all of the work involved in a software development project will meet the legislative criteria for eligible R&D activities".
"While a project may involve some experimental activities, that does not qualify the entire project as an eligible R&D activity," it said.
For example, a bank might development a new online banking app - based on current knowledge, information and experience about customer needs and the technical capabilities of software, it noted.
While there is a risk customers will still turn up their noses at the product "this risk is commercial in nature only and hence the relevant activities do not constitute eligible R&D activities."
The ATO is urging companies to fess up to any deliberate or accidental over-claims, and to double check what tax agents and consultants might be claiming on their behalf.
Any penalties will be significantly reduced for entities that make a voluntary disclosure, especially for those who own up even before the tax office initiates an audit.
However claims that are found to be deliberately fraudulent can attract criminal sanctions, the ATO added.


text: The Green List all the big little things we have done for a sustainable future. so far. Hi and welcome to the greenest site you ever seen, The Green List! Here you will find the big little things that we have done on our journey towards a sustainable future. Actually they are so many that they didn't fit on one page... Click here to read the first 30 sustainable big little things Set a record in material recycling Our ports have really increased material recycling. Last year 33% of waste plastic, metal, paper and glass was material recycled, while an additional 44% was used for energy recycling. This is an all-time high! Installed more shore power During 2018 we connected our 14th vessel to green shore-side electricity. By having 14 "connected ships" we reduce CO2 emissions with close to 14,000 tons/year. This is equivalent to the annual emissions of 7,500 passenger cars. Minimized single use plastic On the Irish- and North Sea, we removed or replaced close to 90 % of all single use plastic products during 2018. Another small step to protect life below water. Started to use AI to save fuel We have developed an artificial intelligence-model that suggest the most fuel-efficient way to perform each sailing. The model will help our captains and officers to sail smarter and reduce fuel consumption Installed new cooling refrigerants In 2018 all the cooling refrigerants in fridges and freezes on Stena Jutlandica were replaced with new, more energy efficient and climate friendly products. Just like the old ones, the new cooling refrigerants have zero ozone depletion potential. The big difference lies in the low global warming potential. Became ISO certified Early 2018 we passed certification for ISO 14001:2015, an international standard for environmental management systems and a tool for the company to improve in the sustainability field. Started pilot testing ultrasonic antifouling Early 2018 we equipped our first vessel, Stena Hollandica on the Hoek van Holland to Harwich, with ultrasonic transducers on the hull to minimize fouling. Increased onboard use of Eco-label detergents We always strive to minimize our impact on marine life, for example by practising safe use of Eco-label detergents on board. We have courses in handling and dosing detergents, as well as using closed dosing systems, making the handling safer for our employees and simultaneously minimizing consumption. In 2018 we doubled the use of Eco-label detergents to 60 %, mainly by making it our new standard on the North Sea and Irish Sea. Installed more scrubbers In 2018 Stena Scandinavica on the Gothenburg to Kiel route was our sixth vessel to be equipped with closed looped scrubbers, a system that cleans up exhaust gas using sea water. Stopped wasting our food oil Oil from our kitchens on board is recycled and used for a variety of purposes. In the UK it's turned into biofuel, while the Scandinavian oil is turned into new raw material for the chemical industry such as soap and plastic. Started pilot testing paper bags Plastic turned to recycled plastic and recycled plastic turned to sugar canes. In 2018 we started writing yet another chapter for our onboard shopping bags, as paper was taken introduced onboard our ships. Started experimenting with battery power Early 2018 we kicked off a new battery-power project by installing batteries to Stena Jutlandica on the Gothenburg to Frederikshavn route. Initially the batteries will power the ship's thrusters, used to maneuver the vessel in to port. The next step is to run our main engines on battery power on short, inshore distances in close proximity to cities. And then who knows? In a not-too-distant future, hopefully this is how our ferries are run altogether. Served better seafood In order to help preserve wildlife in the ocean we want to make sure all our seafood is caught responsibly. In 2017 the percentage of MSC certified fish served on board was 66 %, steadily nearing the long-term goal. Completed our 300th energy-saving project Stena Line's Energy Saving Program (ESP) was launched in 2006 in line with our goal to reduce fuel consumption by 2,5 % per year. Eleven years later, as the main-engine regulators of Stena Scotia were replaced, project number 300 was completed, resulting in an expected annual fuel saving of 3 % on her sailings between the Netherlands and UK. Tried some sweet new packaging In the process of phasing out plastic food containers on board, we started pilot testing some different alternatives in 2017. One of them is bagasse, a biodegradable by-product from sugar production that when composted turns into soil in only eight weeks. Digitalized our tug masters In 2017 we connected all light port vehicles digitally to be able to follow, analyze and plan their loading in a more efficient and energy saving way. Switched to green lights LED lights lower energy consumption by 5 %, have a life span of five years and are also easier to replace. Our vessels, terminals and ports are gradually moving over to such alternatives. In 2017 we changed more than 2,500 light bulbs in the corridors on board the four vessels that sails from Hoek van Holland. Lowered sulphur emissions with 15% In 2017 we started running all of our RoRo vessels on the Irish Sea on low-sulphur fuel, drastically lowering sulphur emissions for our entire fleet. Discovered salt water! As a way to help minimizing our impact on life below water, we started pilot testing ECA water. This new type of detergent is 100 % chemical free, consisting of water and salt only. Our first vessel to try it was Stena Nautica on the Varberg to Grenaa route in 2017, followed by Stena Danica and Jutlandica the year after. Disposed of our disposable cups In 2017 all disposable coffee cups on board were replaced with a biodegradable cup made from a combination of paper and corn starch. That's more than 1,300,000 cups every year, now making a significantly smaller impact on the environment. Plugged in another port In 2017, Port of Trelleborg in southern Sweden was added to our list of onshore-power sharing ports. This allowed another two of our vessels to turn off their engines in favor of green electricity while in port, making a total of 13 Stena ships now connected to onshore power. It also helped us treduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 12,300 tonnes in 2017. Switched to organic milk We always aim to use greener and better ingredients in our restaurants and cafés. For example, 100 % of all milk served on board has been organic since 2016. Painted our terminals green The percentage of green electricity consumed across our terminals is steadily on the rise. In 2018, as much as 92% came from renewable energy sources. Found the balance Finding the right balance between draught at the bow and the stern will affect the total draught hindering the vessel. By loading Stena Scandinavica to make its bow deeper than the stern, we manage to save up to 7 % fuel on the Gothenburg to Kiel route. Tilted a propeller Analyzing the Fuel Management System data of Stena Flavia on the Nynäshamn to Ventspils route led to several energy saving changes lowering the fuel consumption and emissions. One of them: a slight tilt of the propeller. Sometimes the smallest things really can make a big difference. Continued to save fuel with FMS Following the successful pilot test on Stena Vision in 2012, close to our entire fleet has been equipped with the energy saving FMS upgrade. Late 2017, Stena Scotia sailing from The Netherlands to UK was our 28th vessel to be crossed off the list. Read no.1-30

MWC 15 Special
Motorola lately updated their previously released Bluetooth Stereo headset HT820 with a stereo Bluetooth gateway addition (called DC800) and this combo is called the Motorola Bluetooth Home Entertainment Solution HT820/DC800.
While the stereo headset supports the standard Bluetooth headset profile (it has a small microphone in the right earphone), it also supports the Bluetooth stereo A2DP profile for music streaming as well as the AVRCP profile to remote control bonded Bluetooth devices. Basically it means you can use the headset for a couple of scenarios: as a headset for your mobile phone voice calls, stereo headset for your (stereo profile enabled) mobile device to listen music as well as remote control your mobile device media player and in combination with a PC as headset for VoIP calls.
The stereo gateway supports A2DP only and can not be used as a Bluetooth dongle with PCs since it misses the required connector. Instead, it is connected via chinch plugs to any audio source. The package includes all required cables, power plugs and chargers including a chinch to chinch cable as well as a 3.5" to chinch cable to connect the gateway either to your HiFi via chinch or any other source (like Media Center PCs or Notebooks) with the 3.5" connector.
Bonding the headset with the gateway is a piece of cake and Motorola made it as
simple as possible that even non-Bluetooth users shouldn't face a problem here,
if they follow the manual. After both devices are paired, the audio stream is
transmitted immediately to the headset. Since the gateway is a Bluetooth class 1
device, theoretically it transmits up to 100 meters which you will not reach in
reality, at least not in closed environments like apartments. However, the range
is good enough that you should be able to roam through your domicile without
loosing the connection between the headset and the gateway. This allows you to
listen your music in stereo, without disturbing others and without staying in
the same room where your media speakers are.
A specialty of the headset is to support (no surprise, since it is
specified that way by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group) concurrent Bluetooth
connections. This means, that you can bond the headset with your Bluetooth
enabled mobile phone and can connect it in parallel to the media gateway. In
case you receive a call while you are listening music, the stereo transmission
mutes and you can take the call. As soon as you hang up, the stereo transmission
continues. With this Bluetooth stereo/headset combo you will not miss a single
If your mobile device also supports A2DP, you can also bond both profiles in
parallel to one single device. For instance you can listen music as well as
making phone calls with your AKU2 enabled Windows Mobile Pocket PC or Smartphone
(see my previous review about the stereo Bluetooth support of
Windows Mobile's AKU2 here).
It works similar to the wired standard headsets which comes with most of the
Smartphones and Pocket PC Phone Editions where these headsets are used for both,
audio and voice. And again the playback is muted or even paused if you receive a
call (the mute/pause functionality depends on the mobile device).
Using the headset as a remote means you can do two things: controlling your
mobile phone (as you might used to do already with standard Bluetooth headsets as well) and
controlling the media player of supported devices.
Also here, Motorola tried to make it as easy as possible to remember the
functions. One the left side of the headset, you have the call start/end button
(which can also activate voice command functionalities of your mobile device, if
supported) and the volume up/down buttons.
On the right side, you have the play/pause button and the next/previous song
As said, the headset functionalities are the same as with standard headsets
and you can accept, reject and hang-up calls as well as you can change the call
volume (as well as the audio volume if you listen music). However, even more
interesting is the remote control functionality which lets you control the media
player of the attached Bluetooth stereo device (as long as it supports the
Bluetooth AVRCP profile which most A2DP devices supports in
addition too). Here you can play and pause a song, jump to the next or previous
one without taking the device out of your pocket. This is more than handy since you
don't need a second (wired) control and provides the best user experience you
can expect.
If you are not allowed to use Bluetooth in certain environments - like aircrafts
- you can also connect the headset with your mobile device using an included
seperate cable. However, if you connect it this way, the remote control functionality
doesn't works at all.
According to Motorola, a single battery charge last 12 hours for music
streaming and 15 hours for phone calls. That's far more than any Windows
Mobile device can be used for today and should be enough.
The headset is charged with the included power adapter, which is the same power
adapter like used for Motorola mobile phones like the MPx200 or Razr V3.
Final Conclusion
The stereo gateway and the headset works perfectly together simply trouble-free and
allows you to listen your music up to 100 meters away from the source. Pairing
both devices couldn't be easier. So far so good.
I'm a little bit disappointed about the stereo gateway potentials which is a
pure and dumb audio "converter". Even if it has a mini USB connector, you can
not use it as a Bluetooth dongle with your PC, let's say a Media Center PC. This
mini USB is the power plug only, not a communication plug. This misses the
opportunity to get the music transmitted fully digital, end-to-end, but it takes the analogue
signal from the chinch plug and converts it back to a digital Bluetooth signal.
Also it means you have to buy a second Bluetooth dongle, if you want to use the
headset for bidirectional communication, let's say as your headset for VoIP. At
the end it means you don't need the whole combo, if you plan to use the headset
with your Media Center PC but better buy the headset only plus an additional
Bluetooth dongle which supports the A2DP stereo profile as well. In this case,
you can stream the music from your Media Center to the headset as well as you
can use the microphone of the headset for VoIP communication. Here, Motorola
missed a real opportunity, especially because Motorola also provides such A2DP
enabled Bluetooth USB adapters.
The headset is comfortable to wear (even/especially for me as I'm wearing
glasses as well) and the use and navigation functionalities
are placed well. It's a great headset for both, listening music as well as
making phone calls, even if I have to admit it's a little bit too silent. If you
tune the volume to the maximum, it's still lower than a comparable wired headset.
While it is loud enough in rooms and silent environments, you will notice it in
streets with lot of traffic or loud environments. Also you can definitely hear
weaknesses in bass and highs playbacks. Nothing which makes it unusable but in
the direct comparison with high-end HiFi headsets you can notice the difference.
Maybe the biggest problem, depending how strong your ego is, is the size and
bulkiness of the headset. It's thick, really thick and it looks a little bit
the hairstyle of Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia in Star Wars.
Not a big problem in Winter, where most of the folks around you might think you
are wearing earlaps but anyway, it looks a little bit strange and therefore I
always get (too) many looks if I'm walking around with the headset.
On the other hand, I don't want to miss the headset anymore for voice calls
in loud environments. While it is not stereo for phone calls, both speakers are
used and therefore you can hear your partner crystal clear.
All together, the headset gets my recommendation, even if it looks and is
bulky (hope v2 will becomes smaller) but the handling is perfect. The stereo
gateway missed the opportunity to be a Bluetooth adapter as well which makes it
more useless for me, since I use a Media Center as my only HiFi but on the other
hand it saves money if you want to use it with your TV, DVD or regular HiFi only
where you don't need a full blown Bluetooth adapter solution which would makes
the gateway more expensive.
The Bluetooth Home Entertainment Solution HT820/DC800 combo is available from
Motorola for 149 Euro, the headset allone is available for 99 Euro.

Hello ladies,
Today was a super busy day with 3 back to back blog shoots for me and with the scorching heat Bangalore has been experiencing this year, even getting up early morning didn't really help much in not melting my makeup away. So coming back to today's post, if you are regular reader here, you'll know 4 weeks back, I had taken up the #SubscribeToSmooth challenge with Gillette Venus and here is a quick update on how my shaving experience has been so far.
The journey has been super easy and convenient so far and to be honest I had my doubts before i started using Gillette Venus razor. I use to believe that waxing was the sole solution to having smooth legs and arms in an affordable but Gillette Venus proved me wrong. Now I can wear skirts and shorts and everything that I want without worrying waiting for the hair to grow the right length and then go for waxing. Life has never been so simple (If you are a girl, you'll know what i mean :D)
I have totally converted to a shaving person and you know why? Here are my top 5 reasons:
- Saves me so much time especially during sudden plans or events.
- Made my skin less bumpy and can see a slight reduction in ingrown hair.
- I've started exfoliating my skin regularly in the process of a smoother shaving process.
- The Gillette Satin care Shaving gel makes my skin soft and moisturized.
- The awesome technology used to make the Razors helps me avoid any sorts of cuts and makes the shaving process super simple.
I have forgotten how it feels to a waxing done and I'm so glad I took up this challenge because it saves time and obviously money that you usually spend every month on your salon trips. I love this shaving journey so far and all you ladies and girls who think shaving gives you bad skin or makes your skin dark, you need read all my previous posts on how I busted some of the common shaving myths here, here and here.
Stay tuned for the last post from this series where I give you some really cool and helpful shaving tips and lots more. Till then keep dropping your questions about shaving in the comments section below and I'll be glad to help you with all what you need to know if you are a beginner or maybe think shaving isn't the right kind of thing for you.
Till then stay awesome 😀

In the 11th and 12th centuries, Mark Brandenburg (which means "Brandenburg borderland") was a German state at the borderland of the Polish duchies. In the 13th century it acquired the land on the eastern bank of the Oder river, so-called Neumark, i.e. "new borderland". During the next centuries, when the princes of Brandenburg began to control further provinces, they became Kings of Prussia (1701) and played an important role in the partitioning of Poland.
In 1815, according to the new administrative division of the Prussian monarchy, the northernmost fragments of the Province of Brandenburg (together with areas previously acquired by it from Poland prior to the Partitions), were incorporated into Pomerania (see the map of Pomerania). The enclave of Swiebodzin (Schwiebus), marked in red on the map below, (which belonged to Silesia before 1815) was incorporated into Brandenburg which also acquired a large part of the Kingdom of Saxony (shown in green). In the 19th century, Brandenburg was a Lutheran and mostly German-speaking province. There was a Lusatian (Wend)-speaking minority in the southern region of Cottbus, (Lusatian: Chosebuz). A small Polish-speaking minority also existed in eastern Brandenburg. WWI brought no change to the status of this province except that it again became a "borderland" province as most of the former Province of Posen was returned to Poland.
After WWII, the part of Brandenburg east of the Oder was incorporated into Poland. Most of the German inhabitants escaped in 1945 as the Red Army conquered the land. This area was settled by Polish refugees from the East. The greater part of Brandenburg still remains German and is one of the states within the current Federal Republic of Germany.
The map shows the territory of the eastern part of Brandenburg at the beginning of the 20th century. The colored regions are explained above. The pink line is the present border between Poland and Germany. Polish and German names of cities are provided.

Remember all those Obama dog-eating jokes? Well, now the president can actually eat his dog in front of the world and not get hounded by PETA.
Bo, you see, is part of the 300-pound 2012 gingerbread White House that First Lady Michelle Obama unveiled before a group of military families and press last week.
The house, which took six weeks to make by White House executive pastry chef Bill Yosses and staff, features sugar spun windows lit from within, an edible vegetable garden..and a giant Bo Obama frolicking outside the house.
The gingerbread house is part of the holiday decorations, themed "Joy to All". 54 different Christmas trees and the house are on display. About 90,000 visitors are expected to visit the Obamas for Christmas this year.
Here's a video from 2009, showing exactly how the intricate annual gingerbread house is created:
The White House also released a holiday cookie recipe (we hear Santa's a Democrat):
White House Ginger Crinkles
A recipe from the White House Pastry Kitchen
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
pinch of salt
1 tsp dried ginger
1 tsp cinnamon
¼ cup granulated sugar (for dipping)
8 oz. (2 sticks) butter, room temperature
1 ½ cups packed brown sugar
2 whole eggs
¹⁄³ cup molasses
2 tsp fresh ginger, grated
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Beat butter and brown sugar in large
mixing bowl until creamy.

I'm back today with another yummy, quick, all-in-one dinner for busy weeknights.
Who doesn't like fried rice? It's obviously a great accompaniment to Chinese food, but my family enjoys it so much that I've learned it can easily be turned into a stand-alone meal. So when I have leftover protein — whether it's shrimp, ham, ground beef, rotisserie chicken, or shredded pork — I know I'm just a pot of rice away from an easy dinner.
You know what's just as exciting to this mama, who juggles dinner making with baby corralling, preschooler entertaining, and homework assisting? With this meal, I don't have to worry about the added time and work that go into veggie and carb side dishes. Fried rice is an all-inclusive, one-pot-wonder.
As far as vegetables go, feel free to throw in your favorites. We like the traditional carrots and peas, but I know lots of people might enjoy green onions as well. I find that grating the carrots allows me to sneak in extras, because the shredded pieces cook down quite a bit and are hardly noticeable by children-who-may-otherwise-pick-them-out in the final dish. But if you don't have an issue with persnickety offspring, use frozen diced carrots if that's easier.
On this particular night I made this recipe with white rice, but I often use brown rice and it turns out tasty as well. And while I diced up a hunk of leftover ham here, I honestly can't decide on my favorite type of meat to add to this dish. Beef fried rice ends up tasting totally different than shrimp fried rice, but my family loves them both.
Another bonus of this recipe is that any of its components may be tweaked to your liking. If you prefer more or less of anything, adjust away. If you reduce a particular ingredient, just be sure you adjust the soy sauce accordingly so that you don't end up with too much sodium. In the same way, if you use a salty protein like ham or shrimp, you may want to initially decrease the soy sauce and then add it back to taste. It's always easy to add more, but it's pretty much impossible to take it away.
I hope this provides another recipe for your dinner repertoire that's fast, uncomplicated, appealing to all ages, and undeniably delicious. Enjoy, y'all!
This fried rice entree is a one-pot-wonder, including the carbohydrates, vegetables, and protein for a complete meal. You may add your favorite type of meat or whatever leftovers you have on hand. Ground or shredded beef, pork, or chicken, diced ham, or shrimp are all delicious!
- Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic (3-4 cloves)
- 2 cups grated carrots (about 8 ounces)
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 2 cups frozen peas
- 5 cups cooked rice
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 2 cups ground or shredded chicken, beef, or pork, chopped shrimp, or diced ham
- Coat a large pot set over medium-low heat with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Cook garlic and carrots, stirring frequently, until tender. Push carrot mixture to the side of the pan and add another tablespoon of sesame oil. Add eggs in center of oil and cook as you would scrambled eggs.
- Mix carrot mixture into eggs and stir in frozen peas, cooked rice, soy sauce, and shredded/chopped meat. Turn heat to low and, stirring frequently, allow peas and meat to heat through before serving.
You may use white or brown rice. To make 5 cups of white rice, I cook 1 1/2 cups of dry rice in 3 cups of water for 20 minutes, following package directions. The water/rice ratio for brown rice is going to be slightly different and the cooking time will be approximately doubled.
You may use regular or toasted sesame oil. If you don't have it, peanut oil or canola oil would work fine, too.
I shred my carrots in the food processor. 2 cups may seem like a lot, but they cook down quite a bit. I find that by shredding them, they are hardly noticeable in the final dish and my kids don't mind eating them. You may also grate your carrots by hand, use packaged matchstick carrots, or even use frozen diced carrots.
You may use whatever type of meat you have on hand. Shredded rotisserie chicken, leftover ground beef or beef roast, shredded pork, cubed ham, chunks of shrimp...the possibilities are endless!

Stéphane Richard, the CEO of France Telecom, told reporters yesterday, "If we believe what we have been told, the iPhone 5 will be released on 15 October."
France Telecom carries more iPhone data traffic than any carrier other than AT&T in the world, so it should know a thing or two about Apple's plans.

I was looking for an old valentine and came across this letter. The envelope is dated Dec 27-10.
Chester Pa.
Miss Esther H.
Please excuse my writing to you but I would like to call on you some Saturday night in the last of January. I know I don't have any looks but give me a chance anyway.
I always liked your looks but never had the nerve before. Even if you won't make a date answer this letter right away and say yes or no.
If you say yes I can't come much before nine o'clock because we work up until 4 o'clock on Sat. I don't know if you have any fellow or not but I don't think you have for you had none last summer.
Yours respectively,
Wm. P.
Say yes, Esther.

Agyness Deyn has directed a music video for new band Nimmo and The Gauntletts – scroll down to watch it.
The video marks Deyn's first foray into directing and came about after the band reached out to her after she played one of their songs on the radio. Speaking to NME Deyn recalled the story of how she came into contact with the Brighton band: "A friend put me on to them and I was making a playlist for BBC 6Music and I put one of their songs on. 6Music played the track, the band heard it and then the they messaged me on Twitter to say thank you. They asked me if wanted to be in the next video and I said, 'How about I write and direct a video and if you like it you can use it?'"
Speaking about the influences behind the 'Change' video, which you can see below, Deyn says she was inspired by the idea of "female identity and what defines you" adding, "the most monumental change for most people is from childhood to adulthood. I wanted the video to capture that grey area in between when you're become an adult and the child inside is shouting 'Hold on a minute!' You're mentally straddled between the two images, old and young."
Having previously flirted with a career in the music industry, guesting on Five O'Clock Heroes' 2008 single 'Who', Deyn says she has "absolutely no plans" to return to music but is keen on working behind the camera more, "I really love doing anything creative. I would love to carry on writing and directing."

text: It's Sunday and I'm feeling nostalgic. Maybe it's seeing all my friends' (and cousins') children growing up and starting to look exactly like them! Anyway, I have albums of old photographs and negatives from a time when that's how we did things. And today I went looking for some ideas for "keeping" these things in a different way:

The Face of Your Company is Important
By Tom Burwood on 21 September 2017 at 14:18
Owning a business is an extreme responsibility. You nurture an idea and then turn that idea into a way to make an income. Part of the nurturing process is giving your company a face. The face of the company is vital to the business being established for the long term and that is what all business owners truly want. We hold the solution you have been looking for. We can help the face of your company stand out through our graphic and print design services in Nottingham. Here is how we do it.
Effective Logo Design
It is possible to rely on anyone that can draw to come up with a logo for your company, but this tactic is completely shortsighted as the average artist does not understand the complexities and subtleties of the business world. Trends change dramatically over time and your logo has to be able to evolve with the changes. An artist may have vision of what they want your logo to look like, but may not grasp the concept of what you really want.
We are well versed in the complexities of the design world and the subtle changes to a logo design that make it stand out among the crowd. We understand how to take a simple logo and make it among the most iconic logos anywhere in the world. We also understand that you have specific desires for the look of your logo and therefore we work directly with our clients to get them the quick logo design they want with the professionalism they truly need.
Brand Design Consultation
Your business may be a cutting-edge company full of ideas on how to improve the future, but if no one ever sees the company, the future will look bleak at least for your company. Ideas are not always what makes up a business. It takes time and attention to detail from a trained eye to see the ultimate goals of the future to take hold. Even though you may be an expert in your individual field, you may not necessary be good at brand design.
Our consultation team works directly with clients to ensure that they are completely happy with the results. The benefit to these services is that our specialists have helped countless businesses grow their brand through proper brand identification to ensure that their name gets out to the customers they seek without some of the pitfalls that can come with simply going it alone.
Advertising at its Best
Standard advertising methods served the general public for many years with great success, but now we live in a global world. Even local businesses that do not plan on branching out from Nottingham can benefit from a little boost to their advertising campaigns. People of the world spend a majority of their time online and therefore receive most of their information through these sources. Promotional advertising through social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook are just the tip of the ice burg as to what our team can do for you at Hood Digital Ltd.
We are experts in designing an advertising strategy based on your individual needs and therefore, you are not just a number with our team. Our specialists will work closely with you to determine the best solution for your individual business. We can help you turn out an amazing email campaign design to reach potential customers throughout the world or we can focus locally through our expert brochure designs that will wow potential customers. You will never feel as though you do not matter to our team because we make it our business to ensure that your business grows here at Hood Digital Ltd.
Let us Help You Today
Businesses throughout the Nottingham area can profit from our expertise. Without the right graphic and print design services your business may not be viewed as professional or they may not even be seen by the public at all. The goal of any company is to grow and growth is not possible without expanding your customer base. This is especially true if you are a new business that has not yet discovered the importance of the right type of advertising. We work with both old and new businesses, but we get truly excited when we are able to help a business grow from a very small status into a large corporation.
Others may have told you that your business does not have the potential for growth, but we are here to tell you that you are a valuable member of the Nottingham workforce and perfectly poised to make it big. Give us the opportunity to show you your growth potential through our graphic and print design services in Nottingham today.
