Origin of Patent Medicines
Hooper's Female Pills |
Many of the earliest English patent medicines, such as Turlington's Balsam of Life, Bateman's Pectoral Drops, and Hooper's Female Pills, were very successful within the American colonies. Some of these medicines survived well into the 20th century, such as Dicey's Dr. Bateman's Drops, whose original patent was granted by King George I in1726.
Rise of American Patent Medicines

Civil War Taxation

The government returned to patent medicine taxation during the Spanish American War (1898-1902), using a distinctive "battleship" stamp, as seen on the box of Warner's Safe Asthma Cure.
Golden Age of Patent Medicines
The second half of the 19th century is considered to be the golden age of American patent medicines. Rapid increases in industry and manufacturing, urban living, advertising in national newspapers and magazines, and the absence of drug regulation all contributed to a boom in the production and consumption of patent medicines. Many people turned to patent medicines out of fear and distrust of contemporary medical practices. This was the period of "heroic medicine," in which extreme techniques such as bloodletting and the use of harsh purgatives and emetics were often employed by physicians. Working before the advent of germ theory at the end of the 19th century, regular physicians had few therapies that could compete with the patent medicine industry's promise of easy health in a bottle.
Patent Medicine Advertising
Blair's pills |
Patent medicine makers were pioneers in the use of such advertising techniques as solicitation through the mail, the provision of free samples and promotional trinkets, national newspaper campaigns, outdoor signage, and testimonials. Popular patent medicine almanacs (free publications of 30 to 40 pages containing weather forecasts, horoscopes, and household and health advice) offered abundant advertising for the sponsoring companies' products.
Giveaways, such as a matchbook style needle and thread case from the Lydia Pinkham Company, were also used to boost sales.
Unregulated Industry
Dr. Flint's Quaker Bitters |
Beginning of Drug Regulation
Top: Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhea Remedy; Bottom: May's Health Pearl |
Such exposes helped to promote the first federal Food and Drug Act, signed into law by President Theodore Roosevelt on June 30, 1906. The act was amended in 1912, and an even stronger Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act passed in 1938. These laws required drug labeling to include a list of ingredients and prohibited manufacturers from making false and misleading claims.
From 1906 to 1918 manufacturers could label their products with a "guaranty" that their medicine complied with the new food and drug law. The 1906 law required manufacturers to label their products if any of the following ingredients were present: alcohol, morphine, opium, cocaine, heroin, eucaine, chloroform, cannabis indica, chloral hydrate, or acetanilide. A complete listing of all ingredients was not required until 1938.
Federal food and drug regulation continues to evolve. Amendments to the laws in 1951 established clear distinctions between prescription and over-the-counter drugs. More recently, new regulations have introduced the category of "dietary supplements," whose health claims must be labeled as "not evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration." Also, a "Drug Facts" label has been required on all over-the-counter medicines since 2002.
Patent Medicines Today
Despite dramatic changes in medical knowledge and federal regulation in the past 100 years, self-medication continues to be a popular form of treatment for many Americans. Although no longer referred to as "patent medicines," over-the-counter products today offer an enormous array of choices without requiring the consultation of a physician. Manufacturers of these remedies continue to rely on extensive advertising to reach the consumer directly, employing many of the methods pioneered by patent medicine marketers over 100 years ago.

Project preserves Civil War remains on Mount Washington
Two tall pine trees mark the borders of what developer Jeffrey Paul proposes as the site for 26 homes and a small park preserving the remains of a Civil War fort.
The subdivision, tentatively named "The Redoubt at Bradley Street," would create a half-acre of open space near the edge of a Mount Washington hillside. The tract looks down on Saw Mill Run Boulevard and the West End.
Mr. Paul's plan to preserve most of the area occupied by the 151-year-old earthworks has drawn support from community and historical preservation organizations.
Undeterred by recent bone-chilling temperatures, Mr. Paul was eager to walk the property on a recent afternoon. His architectural drawings for the 3-acre site show it being subdivided into 26 lots along what will become an extension of Bradley Street. The proposed park would be at the southern end of the tract.
Remains of the earth walls of the circular redoubt remained visible under the blanket of snow. The redoubt, a smaller supporting entrenchment, was one of 19 defensive emplacements dug in a few frantic weeks in the summer of 1863. That was when Pittsburgh residents feared their city might be invaded by Robert E. Lee's Confederate Army. Few traces remain of those fortifications, which were built on high ground all around the city and its suburbs.
About half the wall of the Bradley Street redoubt still stands. The remains have been given the informal name of "Fort Shultz" by neighbors who live on nearby Fingal Street. A hand-drawn wooden plaque describing the redoubt's history has been attached to one of the trees.
Mr. Paul's proposal calls for replacing that sign with a monument in the center of the proposed park. While design details remain to be worked out, that memorial stone might be engraved with a map showing the locations of all the city's Civil War forts.
The Bradley Street property adjoins Pittsburgh's Emerald View Park. Mr. Paul has proposed constructing a new trail through the park that would link a parking lot on Greenleaf Street to the planned Civil War memorial. Funds for the new trail, the memorial stone and park construction would be borne by Mr. Paul's real estate company, Pomo Development Inc.
The plan has drawn praise from the Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation, a nonprofit organization that backs preservation of historic buildings and neighborhoods. "We are glad that the developer has chosen to create and preserve the Landmarks site, and we look forward to working with Mr. Paul in the coming future on this project," foundation President Arthur P. Ziegler Jr. wrote.
Civil War historian and re-enactor Michael Kraus also had praise for the plan. "What I came away with from our meeting was that you are taking responsible steps to identify, survey and preserve what you can of the [redoubt] site," he wrote. Mr. Kraus said that he was expressing his personal views and not speaking as curator for Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall.
"This has been a great opportunity to work with a developer who thinks long term," said Ilyssa Manspeizer, director of park development and conservation for the Mount Washington Community Development Corp. She described Mr. Paul as someone who strived to work well with neighbors, holding three courtesy meetings with residents to keep them informed about the proposal.
Mr. Paul, 34, has been a residential real estate developer for a decade. The bulk of that work has involved projects on Mount Washington.
The company's largest development is Sweetbriar Village, a 22-unit neighborhood of single and multi-family homes. Built on a site formerly occupied by a grocery store, the property is in the 400 block of Sweetbriar Street. Sales price for those units, which are customized according to the buyers' wishes, are between $325,000 and $500,000, Mr. Paul said.
The design of the Bradley Street project combines aspects of city and suburban living, Mr. Paul said.
"Each house will have a porch, giving the neighborhood a city feel," he said. "The surrounding parkland and open space at the rear will make area seem like the suburbs."
He predicted that the neighborhood would be popular both with young couples and with empty nesters who are eager to move back into the city for its cultural amenities.
The landscape architecture firm of LaQuatra Bonci Associates prepared the concept plan. It calls for integral two-car garages for all 26 units as well as two off-street parking spots for each home. Entrance to almost all the garages will be via the rear of the units.
Plans call for each three-bedroom home to be about 2,600 square feet. Like the residents of Sweetbriar Village, buyers will be able to customize their units. Homes will be priced from $400,000 to $425,000.
The project is on a fast track. Mr. Paul is expecting subdivision approval and issuance of building permits by April or May with at least one model home completed by September or October.

Chad Billingsley (9-9, 3.32) vs. John Lannan (6-9, 3.29).
COMMENTS: Tired of hearing about how the Dodgers could be in first place, if only the the Diamondbacks (who took a series from the first-place Cubs) would win less and the Dodgers (who lost a series to the third-place Rockies) could just, well, win more? Yeah, so are we. So consider this: The Diamondbacks have traded for both Tony Clark and Jon Rauch lately. The Dodgers are purportedly showcasing Andy LaRoche for a trade. Oh, and Juan Pierre is returning, perhaps as early as tonight and probably displacing Matt Kemp and his .925 leadoff OPS at the top of the order.
As admirably as Blake DeWitt has played, his production (.257/.324/.364) doesn't overwhelm so much that LaRoche shouldn't be given a longer look at third. But Joe Torre likes DeWitt, and we can only hope trading LaRoche doesn't become a debacle of Konerko-ian proportions. Meanwhile, Pierre's return should bump Andruw Jones to the bench. After all, Kemp and Andre Ethier are tied for the team lead in home runs. If we're that desperate for speed, power shouldn't be sacrificed.
The trading deadline is six days away, and many things can happen. And a lot of knee-jerk keeping-up-with-the-D'backs things can happen as well. But the Dodgers shouldn't trade valuable players for what at best would be another first-round playoff exit.
P.S.: Tonight marks the first career start against the Dodgers for the Nats' Lannan. Enjoy the game!

Before Adam Lanza walked into Sandy Hook Elementary School on Friday morning and murdered 20 children and six adults, my sister was already a teacher on edge and in mourning. The night before, in the parking lot of her high school in the Pacific Northwest, a 16-year-old student from her first-period class shot and killed himself. Three months earlier, her school had been forced to close for a day after a former student made a threat on social media to "open fire on people in the commons in the morning until I am either taken down by the school's police officer, or until I run out of [ammunition]."
He was arrested before he could do any harm. Still, my sister's experiences are one more reminder of the outsize specter gun violence has become for educators. Rampage killers target schools in order to deliver that worst-of-all blow to society's gut, the massacre of children. But I've covered a number of school shootings, starting with Laurie Dann's 1988 spree at Hubbard Woods Elementary School outside Chicago, and I'm all too aware of a daunting reality that confronts teachers like my sister — and my wife and my mother. On the one hand, they're as vulnerable as their pupils; on the other hand, they're the only first line of defense between kids and killers.
(MORE: Sandy Hook Shooting: Why Did Lanza Target a School?)
That was the case at Sandy Hook, where teachers were credited with quick thinking that saved children's lives. Administrators are under increasing pressure today to put metal detectors and other expensive measures in place that we think will keep armed monsters out of our schools. But as we saw at Sandy Hook, which had recently ramped up its security infrastructure, they hardly make schools impregnable — and school shootings, meanwhile, seem to have become as frequent as science fairs. Which, as long we lack the national spine to confront the gun lobby, raises a depressing but urgent question: Is shielding children now as essential a part of teachers' portfolios as educating children is? If so, are we training teachers as effectively as we should to keep both students and themselves out of the line of fire — or even step up and confront their attackers — until the SWAT team arrives?
The core of the preparation teachers have increasingly been getting since the 1999 Columbine massacre is the lockdown drill — and Sandy Hook teachers, like those who reportedly scanned the hallways and swiftly pulled wandering students into their classrooms, had obviously been exposed to it. The procedures that schools like my sister's and my wife's have in place are much more involved than fire drills, and they would seem effective. A code alert from the principal's office, usually via a PA system; the hallway scan, followed by locking doors and covering door windows; turning out lights while herding students into a corner or closet away from windows and telling them to stay silent; then sending e-mail alerts accounting for students who might be in the bathroom or some other area.
(MORE: Funerals at Christmastime: The Tragedy of Sandy Hook Village)
My sister's principal, a woman who has put a lot of careful thought into this matter — to the extent that she doesn't post on her high school's website any school-building maps that potential attackers could study — tells me it's largely about conditioning teachers "to know where everything is in every climate they inhabit at a school." And I'll second her assertion that teachers are willing to master civil defense along with pedagogy "because they go into this profession in the first place to make the world better for kids."
But while the lockdown approach works well when you've got kids sitting in front of you, it's less operative when a school's occupants are scattered about— meaning a big part of the day. What's the procedure when a gunman appears, Grendel-like, while students are exposed in the open: changing classes, eating lunch or ambling to the library like ducklings following a mother mallard? Even when students are gathered in class, a gunman can often move faster than the lockdown sequence, which is why Lanza was able to massacre 20 first-graders — and a teacher who only had enough time to throw herself in front of her kids — in two classrooms. So how, at all, do we train teachers and staff to respond when lockdown isn't applicable?
(MORE: 20 Brighter Stars: Shocked Connecticut Town Mourns Its Slain Children)
Should teacher orientation include the sort of counterterrorism training we give flight crews today? My sister points out that few if any school systems would assume the legal liability of instructing teachers how to disarm or subdue a shooter. Don't be a hero, school boards tell them by default. And yet, from Hubbard Woods to Sandy Hook, the raw heroism of teachers — who, like Sandy Hook principal and Lanza murder victim Dawn Hochsprung, did confront attackers — has saved countless lives, often by buying everyone else time to hide or escape. When teachers have no recourse, should we give them more to draw on than adrenaline?
My first instinct is to say no. Flight crews accept security as a central part of their job, but we're stepping into very dark territory as a society when we expect teachers to be Navy SEALs. And I'm certainly disturbed when politicians — like U.S. Representative Louie Gohmert of Texas, who this weekend suggested that Hochsprung should have "had an M-4" rifle in her office — propose that teachers pack heat. Then again, the only alternative we might have at this point is to post the educational equivalent of an armed air marshal in every school. Why shouldn't my wife and her second-graders enjoy the same peace of mind that I and my fellow airline passengers do?
My wife, sister and mother are three of the best teachers in the business. Yet here they are again this weekend, like millions of their colleagues, pondering not how to edify their students but how to shelter them. It's not what they signed up for — but it's what the rest of us are now going to have to sign up to solve.

We wouldn't want to say that $7,922,500 isn't an awful lot to pay for one set of four books.
But we do have to point out that it's not a record.
Thursday, we previewed the Christie's New York auction of a rare set of John James Audubon's Birds of America. As we reported, there was talk that it might fetch more than the record $11.5 million paid for another full set of the books in 2010.
Alas, Christie's says, the "hammer price" paid by an American collector was within the "expected" range of $7 million to $10 million — but not near the premium price paid two years ago.

Chad Billingsley (2-1, 4.46) vs. Ryan Dempster (1-3, 9.58).
Precious little joy in Dodgertown these days, so let's focus on the good: Andre Ethier, owner of the third-longest hitting streak in Dodgers history. He's currently at 27 28 straight games, with a decent chance at 28 29 — being 7 for 20 lifetime against Dempster (including a home run).
Sax's note: I'll be at the game tonight. Email us or leave a comment in this thread if you want to meet up; I'm on the field level this evening (third base side). Oh, and that stratospheric Dempster ERA: although his last start was a horriffic 0.1 IP, 4H, 4 BB, 7 ER, 1 HR, 0 K outing (jumping his ERA by almost two full runs in the process), Dempster hasn't had his ERA below 6.30 all year (which is almost two full runs above his career ERA of 4.46).

This week on the Ask Lifehacker podcast, we're learning how music affects your ability to work, getting great deals on mobile apps, and protecting your passwords on public Wi-Fi networks. Also, Facebook blows a billion dollars on Instagram, terms of service contracts are no longer the ironclad documents companies wanted them to be, and a whole lot more.
Sorry the episode is late this week. We had some issues getting it live yesterday, but here it is! We should be back on track for Mondays next week.

News and Discussion
This week we're talking about Facebook's acquisition of Instagram, Google+'s new layout, a few legal issues, and the return of Ze Frank.
01:01 Facebook Buys Instagram
Last week, Facebook acquired Instagram for $8 billion. If you're not familiar with Instagram, it's a social photography app that lets you take pictures with your iOS or Android device, apply vintage filters and frames, and share them online with just a few taps. It's the most popular app of its kind, but many people are upset about this acquisition because they're concerned that Facebook will ruin Instagram. While none of us are really worried, if you want to make the switch we've compiled some alternatives for iOS and Android.
05:37 Google+ New Look
Google+ updated with a new look, making it appear much like Facebook's timeline but with a lot more whitespace. Don't like the whitespace? Use the Whitespace Remover extension for both Chrome and Firefox.
08:21 Breaking Terms of Service
You know how you always read every terms of service contract in its entirety? Even the updates? Well, you're the only one. Everyone else pretty much skims them or ignores them entirely. For those of us who don't take the time to page through the enormous documents, there's good news! Breaking a terms of service contract is no longer a crime.
11:15 WTF Is CISPA?
Remember SOPA, the bill that wanted to censor the internet? Nobody liked it, but now we have CISPA and it's being backed by big companies like Microsoft and Facebook. It's not nearly as bad as SOPA, but it's still something to keep an eye on. Thorin runs down why companies are supporting it, if you'd like to learn more.
14:23 Ze Frank Is Back
Poignant and funny internet superstar Ze Frank is back with a new show. He was best known for his daily show called The Show with Ze Frank that frequently featured tips and thoughts with a Lifehacker-y angle. As a result we're happy he's back with A Show with Ze Frank. The first few episodes are up if you want to check them out.
Questions and Answers
Each week we answer five questions from readers and listeners. Here's what we tackled this week.
15:52 Should I get the latest and greatest computer or buy something cheaper?
Although Pash, Whitson, and I all have powerful self-built desktop computers, we also chose the MacBook Air as our laptop because it is fast enough. Whitson has his desktop for gaming purposes, I have mine for video editing/encoding, and Pash doesn't really use his anymore. For writing and browsing, the MacBook Air is more than sufficient. This is all to say that if you don't have a reason to get a powerful computer, you're better off saving money or going for something more compact. All computers are fast nowadays. Most people can do what they want to do on an iPad. Unless you know why you need a faster machine, don't spend extra money for speed. Either put that money towards things that'll matter more—like an SSD or more RAM—or keep that money in your pocket.
19:49 Is it safe to connect to unsecured public Wi-Fi?
No. There's a greater chance that you won't run into trouble, but that doesn't mean it won't suck if you do. Protecting yourself on public Wi-Fi is actually pretty simple. For the most part, you just have to use HTTPS when transferring sensitive information through the web browser (HTTPS Everywhere is a browser extension for Firefox and Chrome that makes this much easier) and make sure you're not providing unsecured network access to your computer. For added safety, set up Hamachi for secure browsing when you're on public networks.
23:49 What can I do about the tiny amount of internal storage (150MB) on my Android device?
Some Android phones just don't have a lot of internal storage and rely on the microSD card to do all the work. BUT, if you want to find out what's taking up space on your device you can just jump into your settings and go to the storage section. (The exact location of your storage info will depend on the version of Android you're using and, potentially, how your device's manufacturer has altered it.) If you find that your internal storage is filled with stuff you don't want or could put on your microSD card instead, you can always move it with pretty much any Android file browser app—including the one that likely came with your device.
26:31 How can I automatically convert videos I download with BitTorrent using Dropfolders and Handbrake?
If you're not familiar, Handbrake is a video conversion tool that takes virtually any input video and spits out an H.264 MP4 file. Dropfolders is a Windows application that watches for video files and automatically adds them to Handbrake to be converted. The person asking this question wants to automatically move videos downloaded by BitTorrent into a drop folder as soon as they complete so they'll be automatically converted to MP4 format by Handbrake. This can be done easily with an application called Belvedere. Mac users can do the same thing with Hazel.
29:06 Should I listen to music when studying/working and, if so, what music?
This often comes down to opinion and what works best for you. Most of us listen to music when working, and the type of music differs. Pash has a variety of tunes, Whitson listens to heavy metal and dubstep (which seems entirely counterintuitive but it works for him), and Thorin and I usually go for instrumental music/soundtracks during work because there are no lyrics, although that's only if I do listen to music in the first place. I tend to start dissecting the arrangements so I prefer silence. Basically, none of us are there same so you have to choose what works best for you.
But as for the science behind work/studying and music, it doesn't really help. There isn't any particular music that's going to actually help you concentrate or think better, but if certain songs get you excited and motivated you should definitely use those to get you started. That said, music can help you concentrate if you're in a noisy environment because it's blocking out the more distracting noise. So if you're working or studying in a coffee shop, for example, you'll want to bring a pair of headphones along. Overall, the best option is to use a white/brown/pink/etc. noise generator like the free one at SimplyNoise. That'll block out distractions best of all.
Downloads of the Week
Each week we talk about our favorite downloads. Here are our picks for this week.
WinPlusX (Windows)
If you're a Windows tweak addict, you probably use tools like the Registry, Computer Management, Disk Management, and Power Options often-apps that are extremely useful, but don't always have obvious or quick shortcuts in the Start Menu. WinPlusX puts them one keyboard shortcut away.
Flashback Tool
The Flashback Trojan infected a whole bunch of Mac users over the past few weeks. If you want to detect if you have it and remove it without much trouble, Flashback Tool will do the trick. Once you're free of Flashback (if you aren't already), be sure to install Apple's official Java update to patch the vulnerability.
Morning Routine (Android)
People clearly have trouble getting up in the morning despite their alarm clock, which is why Morning Routine and other apps exist to make it difficult to actually turn off the alarm. Some require you to shake your device and others will shred money, but Morning Routine forces you to scan a barcode or two (on items in your pantry or refrigerator, for example). This requires you to concentrate enough to keep the camera steady and forces you to get out of bed—unless, of course, you start keeping cereal boxes on your nightstand.
Getting Great Deals on Apps
Apps are great, but they can get expensive if you keep buying every one that interests you. Last week Thorin looked at how you can watch for great deals so you're never paying full price for your apps. It probably won't save you a ton of money if you're looking to get a discount on cheap apps, but you can save a lot on pricey apps by knowing when to look for sales.
Using Your iPad as a Creative Tool
Last week, Thorin wrote a post on how the iPad can be used as a creative tool. He spoke with creative professionals, such as Jim Guthrie (who composed the music for the great game Sword and Sworcery EP) who've added it to their workflow. If you've wanted to make your iPad more of a content creation tool and less of a consumption device, definitely check out this post.
How Do I Submit a Question?
There are three ways to send in your question:
Record a video, upload it somewhere, and send a link to [email protected]
Call (347) 687-8109 and record a question. Calls are awesome! We like them!
Email your question to [email protected].
Please keep your questions as brief as possible. This means about 3-5 sentences for emails and 30-60 seconds for calls and videos. Your questions can be specific, but broader questions are generally better because they'll apply to more people. For example, "how can I breathe new life into my old PDA?" is much better than "what can I do with an old HP iPAQ 210?" Either way, we look forward to hearing from you!

Real Estate
Immovable property (land and any structure that are attached to this land) is referred to as Real Estate. There are three main types of real estate properties including residential, commercial, and industrial properties. When selling or purchasing real estate, most individuals consult Realtors. Realtors specialize in the valuation, purchase, or sale of real estate properties. There are other types of business in real estate including Appraisal, Brokerage, Development, Property Management, and Relocation. When selling real estate, it is very common to have an appraisal of the propterty. Having the property appraised gives the owner an idea of what their property is worth. Brokers help make the transaction between the buyer and seller of the property. Property managers manage the property for the owner by performing tasks such as collecting rent and performing maintanance to the property. Relocation services help move individuals, families, and companies and other businesses to a different location.

If you're driving and you need to use your mobile phone, most states in the US require you to use some kind of hands-free device to place or take calls. For most of us, that means some kind of Bluetooth headset. There was a time when those headsets were prohibitively expensive, but these days depending on the features and form factor you're looking for, they can come in super-cheap, or cost you a good bit of money. This week, we're going to look at five of the best, based on your nominations.
Earlier in the week, we asked you which Bluetooth headsets you thought were the best, based on price, features, quality, and ease-of-use. You responded with a wealth of great suggestions, but sadly we only have room for the top five.
The poll is closed and the votes are counted! To see who you guys voted as the winner and to discuss the champion, head over to our weekly hive five followup post!
Jawbone Era/Icon
For many (myself included), Jawbone brought us our first Bluetooth headsets that were both affordable, attractive, and not bulky, ugly pieces of plastic that were obvious you were wearing them in public. The Jawbone Era ($130 retail) and Icon ($80 retail) are two of the company's smallest models, and sport customizable ear tips that work like earbuds (as opposed to older models that rested on your ears), are remarkably comfortable, offer great battery life (and rechargeable batteries via micro USB), and impressive call quality thanks to the company's Noise Assassin noise reduction technology, so the party on the other end doesn't beg you to call back from a landline. Add in little perks like a battery indicator that shows on your iPhone when paired and the fact that you can shake to put it in pair mode, and you have a great contender.
Plantronics Voyager Pro/Etc
Plantronics has been making headsets for mobile phones since before Bluetooth was standard on them, starting with stereo wired models that were affordable and comfortable. Their modern Bluetooth models may fly under the radar in some cases, but they're stellar products, offering some of the best sound quality available to both the caller and the party on the other end and very quick recharge times (not that you'll need it - some of you marveled at their all-day battery life.) Plus, their behind-the-ear design instead of all in-ear model makes for comfortable long-term wear without sacrificing audio quality, and perhaps most importantly, they're much less expensive than their designer competitors, with the Voyager Pro retailing for less than $100.
Jabra Cruiser/Extreme/Wave/Halo
A number of Jabra models made the roundup, with most of you lauding the company's perfect balance between price, comfort, features, and in some cases, the ability to use your headset as earphones to listen to music and then take a call when one comes in. Instead of the type of headset that you wear only when you're driving or actively talking on the phone, some of you keep your Jabras in to listen to music wirelessly from your phone. Aside from that, some of you noted the comfortable gel eartips that many Jabra models come with (and one of you noted you use them with other models of headset!) and active noise cancellation on some models. Whatever you need a headset for, and whatever your price range, it's likely that Jabra has a model for you.
Motorola Motorkr/S Series/H Series
Motorola's line of Bluetooth headsets used to be more well known than they are now, but many of you still hold your Motorola models in high regard. Most of you note that you prefer their headphone/headset models that allow you to take and place calls while also listening to music while you're biking, driving, or out on a jog (specifically the Motorokr S9($140 retail) and the S10 ($90 retail)) in stereo. Motorola also knows a thing or two about call clarity, another point many of you noted—that above many of the other models, your Motorola headset was the preferred choice of the people on the other end of the call, even if they didn't have all of the bells and whistles of other, more expensive models. Combine that with long battery life, easy recharging over USB, and with many of the models, simply shutting the boom mic to power off instead of tiny switches, and Motorola is a strong contender.
LG HBS700/Tone
LG's bluetooth headsets also aim for a balance between price, ease-of-use, and style, and come in an array of colors, shapes, and sizes depending on your ears, what you want to be seen wearing, and how much you want to pay for it. Many of you called out the LG HBS700 Tone ($70 retail) specifically as their banner stereo bluetooth model that lets you take calls and listen to music in stereo when you're not on the phone. The earbuds are magnetically cupped to the sides so you can wear glasses, and audio controls are right on the device. They're not high-fi or anything, but you nominated them for being comfortable, long-lived, and well designed.
There you have it, the top five nominees. Now it's time to vote for the all out winner.
Honorable mentions this week go out to Bose Bluetooth Headset, which many of you nominated for their incredible sound quality (of course, they're Bose), tiny size, and noise isolating microphone. Also worth an honorable mention are the BlueAnt Q2 and T1 headsets, which sport great battery life, integration with your phone's contacts list, their own set of built-in commands, and—take it from me, are very comfortable (full disclosure: I own a Q2 and love it and the Android app it comes with.)
Did your favorite not make the list? Have something to say about one of the contenders? Remember, the top five are based on your most popular nominations from the call for contenders thread from earlier in the week. Share your thoughts in the comments below.
The Hive Five is based on reader nominations. As with most Hive Five posts, if your favorite was left out, it's not because we hate it—it's because it didn't get the nominations required in the call for contenders post to make the top five. We understand it's a bit of a popularity contest, but if you have a favorite, we want to hear about it. Have a suggestion for the Hive Five? Send us an email at [email protected]!

"Fans are going to see a confident and hungry young guy who is going in
there to win and to fulfill his dream of becoming UFC champion by
defeating Anderson Silva." - Chris Weidman
The campaign is officially over and the biggest fight of Chris Weidman's career has become a reality. Earlier this week the UFC announced the 28-year-old Long Island native would be the next fighter to challenge Anderson Silva for the middleweight crown this summer at UFC 162 on July 6th in Las Vegas.
The opportunity to face the long reigning 185-pound king is a challenge the Ray Longo-trained fighter has been dreaming about since his career in mixed martial arts began, and in every sense, facing the UFC's most dominant champion and a pound-for-pound great is the chance of a lifetime.
Weidman understands the matchup with the fighter widely considered to be the greatest mixed martial artist of all-time will bring his career to a new pinnacle. If he can accomplish what 14 other men that have come before him were unable to do, a career spent as one of the sport's brightest prospects will reach mega-watt status.
"This is the fight I have been envisioning myself having since I started in MMA," Weidman said. "Silva was the champion when I started and I have reached a point where I feel I can beat him. Now I have the opportunity to prove to myself that I can. It' a dream matchup and it's an honor to fight the greatest of all-time.
"Fans are going to see a confident and hungry young guy who is going in there to win and to fulfill his dream of becoming UFC champion by defeating Anderson Silva."
As his bout with "The Spider" became official, it brought a hectic and dramatic chapter of Weidman's life to a close. Following an impressive victory over fellow contender Mark Munoz last July, the former two-time All American wrestler appeared to have placed himself firmly in the contender's tier of the middleweight division. With the victory, Weidman began to lobby for a title shot, but his attention quickly shifted away from his MMA career when Hurricane Sandy severely damaged his Long Island home.
By the time he was ready to return, the window to put together a fight with Silva had closed and Weidman took a bout with Tim Boetsch at UFC 155 in December.
Unfortunately for the undefeated middleweight, a shoulder injury would force him out of the bout with "The Barbarian" and the surgery which followed would serve to keep him on the sidelines for the next several months.
The circumstances at hand could have easily knocked Weidman out of the title picture, and there were a handful of other fighters looking to step up into the role of number one contender. But as luck, fate, or the brutal reality of the fight game would have it, potential title challengers Michael Bisping and former light heavyweight champion Rashad Evans were both turned back in their moments to shine.
When the chaos of the middleweight division finally ceased, Weidman was the last man standing at the ready to face Silva. To make sure his name remained in the conversation, he took to Twitter and interviews in the MMA media landscape to keep his bid for a title shot in the ears of the UFC brass.
"This is the entertainment business and you have to stay in people's line of sight," Weidman said. "You can't just fight and then disappear. You have to make yourself stand out as much as possible to make sure people are constantly thinking about you. I put myself out there as much as I could and it paid off.
"Without a doubt it was crazy and I'm glad everything worked out for me. I feel like everything happens for a reason. I went through some tough times and everything ended up working out for me regardless. I need to win this fight and make the most of this opportunity. I feel like this is going to be the start of my career."
Weidman's journey to lock down the fight was a challenge onto itself, but now he will prepare to face the most difficult task of all. In the nearly 20 year history of the UFC, there has never been a fighter as dominant as the Brazilian champion, and the Team Black House fighter has built his legacy off making highlight reel material out of nearly every opponent he's faced inside the Octagon.
The New York native understands the unique challenges Silva presents inside the cage, as the 37-year-old's power and pinpoint accuracy have dealt out punishment to every man who has stood across from him under the UFC banner. That being said, defeating both the man and the mystique--and the championship gold that will come with the victory--are all the motivation Weidman needs to prepares for the greatest challenge of his career.
"[Silva] does a great job of making you feel as if you don't belong in the cage with him before and during the fight. The key thing is to truly believe in yourself and know that you belong in there. You have to focus on what you do best. I definitely feel a lot of guys he's faced before have been beaten before they ever stepped foot inside the cage.
"I'm expecting this fight to go everywhere. I'm not going to be desperate for the takedown. I don't want to rely on that alone, and I'm going to be mixing it up as much as I can. I definitely feel that in any fight, you want to take your opponent where you have the advantage, and wrestling is going to be my advantage in this fight. But we'll see how things are going on the feet. Most likely I'm going to be looking to work my takedowns and submissions, but I'm going to be very aggressive no matter where I am. On my feet or on the ground, I'm going to be aggressive."
During Weidman's campaign for Silva, he proposed a scenario that put the icing on the cake of what could potentially be an epic year. The number one contender told the media in Chicago, after he defeated Silva on the 4th of July weekend in Las Vegas, he would grant him an immediate rematch at Madison Square Garden in November.
The New York City venue is a landmark in combat sports. Unfortunately, at this time, mixed martial arts is not sanctioned in the Empire state, but Weidman and the UFC are hoping this situation will soon be resolved.
"Defeating Silva and then a rematch in New York would be the best year I can imagine without a doubt," Weidman said. "I was just lobbying in New York for MMA. Hopefully this gets pushed through and mixed martial arts becomes legal in New York. It would be amazing for everything to work out timing wise and I would get to fight in my home state. That would be a dream scenario."

We reported earlier this week that Porsche is looking to add what is essentially "cruise control on steroids" to its future vehicles. The Porsche ACC InnoDrive system will take full control of throttle inputs and "learn" the routes that the driver regularly travels. Only the steering will be left for the driver to control when the system is enabled.
Now, we're getting some more information on the most famous member of the Porsche family: the 911. The next generation model will be revealed before the end of this year, with production models going to North American customers next year.
The new 911, codenamed 991, is growing in length again. The 911 will sit on a 4-inch longer wheelbase, while overall length grows another 2.2 inches. Compared to the last air-cooled 911, the iconic 993, the new 911 is roughly 10 inches longer with a 7-inch longer wheelbase.
Despite the expanded dimensions, the new 911 will be lighter than outgoing 997 variant. Instead of relying primarily on steel for the construction of the vehicle, the majority of the vehicle will now be constructed of aluminum with high-strength steel being deployed used for "major crash paths" according to Inside Line.
The extended wheelbase will also leave more legroom for the two rear-seat passengers (in reality, kids only) and for an optional hybrid system that should be available for the 2016 model year refresh of the 991 platform.
The hybrid system isn't the only concession being made to improve fuel efficiency for the 911; Porsche has also done the unthinkable and ditched the 911's wonderful hydraulic steering system for an electric one. Porsche 911 project manager Roland Achleitner explains that the excellent steering feel will remain and that "you would not be able to tell it is electric." Another buzzkill is that Porsche is moving to an electronic parking brake for the new car.
When it comes to powertrains, the new 911 Carrera will share a 3.4-liter flat-6 engine with the Boxster S that produces 350hp. The Carrera S will be blessed with a larger displacement flat-6 producing roughly 400hp. Power will be delivered to the rear wheels (or all four wheels in Carrera 4 guise) using a 7-speed dual-clutch (PDK) transmission or — wait for it — a 7-speed manual transmission.
Overall efficiency is said to improve by 12 to 15 percent over the outgoing model.
For more information on the next Porsche 911 and the development of the car, you can check out Inside Line's write-up. They actually got some passenger-seat time with a prototype of the vehicle.

The large, energetic and cosmopolitan Atlanta is a booming regional center for the growing and increasingly prosperous American South. Originally Atlanta was founded as a transportation crossroads, as railroads converged on its end-of-mountains location and radiated in all directions. Today's Atlanta still plays that role, both for ground and air transport, as it originates more flights than any city except Chicago. But more generally, Atlanta has boomed, first as home to such giants as Coca-Cola and Delta Airlines, and more recently as a vital regional and headquarters business center for large corporations. Home offices for Home Depot, UPS, CNN and Bellsouth are in the area, and almost any company you can think of has an operation here, and some are quite large.
Culturally, Atlanta sits at the crossroads between the old and new South, as old economy and agrarian interests mingle with modern corporate America and numerous technology and research interests. Atlanta has a rich diversity of socioeconomic backgrounds, and is full of northerners drawn by the booming economy, pleasant climate, activities, and cultural diversity. Some locals call it the "northernmost southern city," but make no mistake—despite the corporate towers and fast pace, Atlanta retains its southern roots.
The commercial downtown is modern, but not as impressive as most large American cities. It has undergone several renewals, with the development of the notable "Underground" many years ago, which has faded from the limelight somewhat, but more recently with growth of residential towers, some new parks and a new aquarium complex. But the real story is suburban growth: the city has spread primarily to the north and northeast into the wooded areas of Dekalb, Cobb and Cherokee counties, where the most desirable residential neighborhoods are found. Most new commercial development is also north along the I-285 beltway known locally as the "Perimeter."
The regions to the east and south are more industrial, while the west is a mix. Some are inside the Perimeter ("ITP") around the upscale Buckhead, more are outside it in suburbs such as Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, Roswell, and Norcross and Marietta, spread along the major radii running north across and outside the Perimeter ("OTP"). The sprawl is going still further north, beyond Marietta to Kennesaw, beyond Roswell to the more upscale Alpharetta, and so forth. Most people commute to somewhere along the Perimeter, not downtown.
Housing is one of Atlanta's most attractive features. The area has some of the highest quality residential properties anywhere per dollar spent, particularly for a city of this size. Nice family-style homes are affordable thanks to inexpensive labor, materials, and business costs. Generous, well-built houses on attractive wooded lots are the rule, not the exception. The area looks more attractive than most, but some areas are starting to get crowded.
There is plenty to do in Atlanta and surrounding areas, with an abundance of rich cultural amenities and nightlife; the list is too long to share here. Atlanta has some of the country's best restaurants, and eateries in general are plentiful and reasonably priced, and professional sports are an obsession even if performance has been spotty. Atlanta is a particularly strong choice for families and career-minded middle class seeking good single-family housing in a lively big-city environment. But those residents must increasingly be willing to tolerate the side effects of rapid growth.
Physically, Atlanta is located in a transition zone between forested hills to the north and more level agricultural areas to the south. Nearby mountains and distant water moderate the climate somewhat resulting in a mix of subtropical and continental types. Summer temperatures are warm but moderated by elevation. There may be prolonged periods of late summer heat. Winters are mild with short cold spells. Active precipitation occurs during spring with thunderstorms, some severe, lasting into July, with frequent dry periods into late summer and fall. Most winter precipitation is rain with occasional snowfall. Ice storms and freezing rain with newsworthy damage and travel disruption occur 2 out of every 3 years. First freeze is mid-November, last is late March.

How much notice do you need to deliver a dumpster to Hepler, KS?

I have never rented a dumpster before. What else do I need to know?
In order to help minimize costs, it is important to select the appropriate dumpster size considering the volume and weight of the debris you are disposing. A dumpster that is too large will result in unnecessary expenses while a dumpster too small may need to be hauled additional times further increasing your expense. Our 20 cubic yard dumpster is the most common dumpster we rent to a homeowner in Hepler, KS who is looking to dispose unwanted household debris. Think of every 2 cubic yards as the equivalent of one pick up truck load when visualizing how much debris the dumpster will hold. Also, it is important to ensure there is adequate space where the dumpster rental is being delivered in Hepler, KS. Our trucks will typically need a height clearance of about 14 feet and a width clearance of 11 feet when delivering a dumpster for you in Hepler, KS.
How can I pay for the dumpster?
We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover Card for our dumpster rentals in Hepler, KS.
Do I need to be present when the dumpster arrives?
No. We do not require that anyone be present on site when we deliver dumpsters to Hepler, KS. However, we do need to know where on the property you would like our driver to place your dumpster. We recommend placing dumpsters on hard surfaces such as concrete, asphalt, gravel or compacted dirt. We do not recommend placing dumpsters on grass, soft dirt, or other soft surfaces as the dumpster can sink into the ground due to its heavy weight.
How long can I keep the dumpster on my property?
We include 10 days of usage with all of our dumpster rentals in Hepler, KS. We do not automatically remove the dumpster on the 10th day because oftentimes our customers need them longer than 10 days and we do not want to remove them prior to the completion of your project. We do ask that you contact us once you are done using the dumpster rental in Hepler, KS to schedule a removal. Please note that additional daily charges do apply for dumpsters kept past 10 days. Please contact Customer Service for details.
I have a fast paced construction job and will need many dumpsters serviced with short notice. Can you help me?
Absolutely! We have serviced many construction companies with dumpster rentals in Hepler, KS and realize the fast paced nature of some jobs. If you require multiple hauls on the same day, please contact us one week in advance to ensure we are able to accommodate your needs. What we normally do for fast paced jobs is assign one driver specifically to your job to ensure that your dumpsters are hauled off as needed.

The selection committee will meet in New York Feb. 1 to vote on the Class of 2014, which will be revealed on the NFL Network that night.

10 romantic Valentine's Day movie favorites
Talk about a "hearty" task -- picking my favorite romantic movies. It's like picking my favorite child. The truth is, I love so many that it's impossible to squeeze them all into a list of 10, so please don't be offended if your favorite didn't make the cut.
What I tried to accomplish with this he list is some scope, which explains why the list expands over several decades. Also, I don't rank them from 1 to 10, which to me suggests that one is better than the other. They're listed alphabetically instead, because each one is a winner in its own way. You can find all the titles on home video and/or DVD.
One movie you won't see on the list is "My Bloody Valentine," a grade-Z horror flick from the early 1980s. Yes, it's true, I did take my first girlfriend to this one, but I won't reveal her name so as to spare her the embarrassment (it did give us a good excuse to jump into each other's arms, though!).
So, here we go -- I hope you and yours have a romantic Valentine's Day!
'Breakfast at Tiffany's' (1961): From "My Fair Lady" to "Roman Holiday," any number of the eternally beautiful Audrey Hepburn's movies could have made this list - but this lovely tale - written by Truman Capote and directed by Blake Edwards, gets the tears gushing every time. Hepburn plays Holly Golightly, an effervescent New York socialite who's struck the fancy of a new bachelor (George Peppard) in her apartment complex. The movie features Henry Mancini's and Johnny Mercer's classic "Moon River" theme sung with heartbreak by Hepburn. (Paramount Home Entertainment)
'Gone With the Wind' (1939): Frankly, Scarlett, I do give a damn about this Clark Gable/Vivien Leigh classic. When it comes to epic romance, the romantic fire of the Civil War-era love story of Rhett Butler and Scarlett O'Hara, for the lack of better words, still burns intensely. It's not only one of the greatest romantic movies of all time; it's one of the best, period. (Warner Home Video)
'Casablanca' (1942): Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman's romantic masterpiece, about a wartime club owner (Bogie) and his lover (Bergman), is still heartbreaker. Will we ever get over their last goodbye? Another Bogie winner is "The African Queen" (1951), which features his tender riverboat romance with Kate Hepburn. Both films are as good as they get. Here's lookin' at you (again), kids! ("Casablanca" -- Warner Home Video; "The African Queen" -- 20th Century Fox Home Video)
'Four Weddings and a Funeral' (1994): This imported romantic comedy from Britain not only made Hugh Grant a household name stateside, it injected a fresh storyline into romantic comedy genre. The film follows a burgeoning romance between Grant and Andie MacDowell, and also focuses on the relationships of their friends -- and all roads lead to the four weddings and a funeral that the title suggests. It's an utterly charming, funny and romantic movie. (MGM/UA Home Entertainment)
'Night Shift' (1983): Long before "Pretty Woman" came out, director Ron Howard's under-appreciated romantic comedy "Night Shift" found a morgue attendant (Henry Winkler) falling in love with a prostitute (Shelly Long) while he and his idea-man co-worker (Michael Keaton) run an overnight call-girl service out of the funeral parlor. Keaton delivers a "Whoa!!! Who the heck is that guy?" debut performance with infectious energy. (Warner Home Video)
'My Big Fat Greek Wedding' (2002): If you want a romantic movie good for the whole family, or a movie where the whole family is involved in the romance, then invite yourself to "Greek Wedding." Nia Vardalos wrote and stars in this bubbly romantic fable about a frumpy Greek woman who falls in love with a non-Greek suitor (John Corbett), but then has to gain the approval of her very traditional Greek family. (Warner Home Video)
'The Phantom of the Opera' (2004): The film version of Andrew Lloyd Webber's classic stage musical boasts a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere, as it chronicles the tragic love triangle between a mad, musical genius (Gerard Butler), a beguiling opera ingenue (Emmy Rossum) and the childhood sweetheart (Patrick Wilson) of hers who comes back into her life. Even though it was panned by snooty critics, this Joel Schumacher opus will no doubt stand the test of time. It's a stunning spectacle. (Warner Bros. Pictures)
'Titanic' (1997): Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet -- doomed lovers in a forbidden romance -- set amid the Titanic disaster? What more can any romantic die-hard ask for? Aside from their steamy romance and tearful end to it, "Titanic" is a riveting movie all the way through, loaded with jealousy, intrigue and spectacular visual effects. Plus, it has James Cameron at the helm -- what more can we ask for? All aboard! (Paramount Home Entertainment)
'The Wedding Singer' (1998): The movie that catapulted Adam Sandler into the romantic "leading man" category, "The Wedding Singer" is a delightfully funny flashback to the 1980s, where a lovesick wedding singer (Sandler) pines for the affection of a waitress (Drew Barrymore) who's on the verge of marrying a philandering jerk (Matthew Glave). Children of the 1980s, get ready to live some '80s hair and fashion statements that you would much soon forget. (New Line Home Entertainment)
'When Harry Met Sally ...' (1989): Can a man and woman have sex and still be friends? That's the burning question of director Rob Reiner and writer Nora Ephron's classic romantic tale, starring a picture perfect couple of friends (Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan) whose 10-year friendship becomes muddied by one night of passion. From the crackling dialogue to Ryan's infamous fake orgasm scene in a restaurant full of bamboozled customers, "When Harry Met Sally" is the definitive romantic comedy. It's my personal all-time favorite. (MGM/UA Home Entertainment)
