Samsung Galaxy S 4
The Samsung Galaxy S4 has now officially been launched. Here's where we take a look at some of the Samsung Galaxy S4's new features. See Samsung Galaxy S4 gets Full HD screen and Exynos 8-core processor: specs, details, release date.
High-end Android smartphones are becoming very similar in terms of the specs they are packing. It's obvious to see that a smartphone's features are now as important to potential buyers as specs. Samsung has always made a big deal about equipping it's flagship phone with excellent new features, and the Galaxy S4 is no different. See Samsung Galaxy S4 specs: confirmed.
[ IPHONEYS: The iPhone 6 and iPhone 5S edition ]
Anyway, that's enough guff for now. Let's get stuck right into the Samsung Galaxy S4's new features. Take a look at Samsung Galaxy S4 price in UK too.
Samsung Galaxy S4 new features

'S Health' software: empowers your life by keeping you up-to-date with health and wellbeing information through a range of accessories
The S4 is also light (130g) and slim (7.9mm), with a 5-inch Full HD Super AMOLED display that has 441ppi. The Samsung Galaxy S4 is available in two colours - Black Mist and White Frost.
The real beauty of the phone is its highly crafted design, encompassing a large screen size and battery, and a minimised bezel, all housed in a light (130g) and slim (7.9mm) shape. Slimmer than its predecessors, there's less to hold yet more to see. Available in two colours - Black Mist and White Frost - at launch, a variety of additional colour options will be available later this year.
Simon Stanford, Vice President of IM division, Samsung Electronics UK & Ireland said: "At Samsung, we are restless about innovation, and are constantly striving to create unique experiences for our customers that will transform their lives. The Galaxy S 4 does just that. We have listened to what consumers around the world want and taken the intuitive technology from the Galaxy S III a step further. Combining this with superior hardware has led us to develop the Galaxy S 4, the ultimate smartphone inspired by our customers."
Meaningful Moments
A rich life is one that's filled with meaningful moments and the Galaxy S 4 is able to capture and share every one of those. The world's first Full HD Super AMOLED display is able to showcase images at their very best, whilst the 5-inch large screen has 441ppi for stunning viewing quality. The Galaxy S 4 also utilises Gorilla Glass 3*, making it a durable travel companion able to capture all of life's adventures.
Equipped with a 13 megapixel rear camera, the Galaxy S 4 boasts a 'Dual Camera' function that allows both rear and front cameras to take simultaneous photos and videos. When capturing special moments, you can choose from a variety of frame effects which blend the two pictures naturally creating a collage of small and large images. The end result is an exceptional image which blends the subject of the photograph and the setting in a totally different way. Plus, the 'Dual Video' function means you can make and receive group video calls with your friends and family.
As well as 'Dual Camera' the device is also equipped with many outstanding shooting modes. These include 'Drama Shot', which allows you to see all the action in one continuous time-lapse and 'Sound & Shot', which uniquely stores sound and voice together as the picture is taken so those special moments are captured in the truest form imaginable, exactly as they happened.
The new 'Story Album' function curates content, such as SNS posts, memos, location and weather information, as well as photos and videos, to create a photo album which is personalised around your timeline of special occasions and events. These unique story albums can be ordered and delivered as an offline photo album through a new partnership with Blurb*, so you can keep those precious moments in physical form to look at and share time and time again.
True Connections - bringing people together
The Samsung Galaxy S 4 enables true connections with the people in your life. It is more than just a personal device that can be enjoyed by one person - it makes the most of your relationships by allowing you to easily share and experience many of life's pleasures together with family and friends, wherever you are.
With its 'Group Play' function, you can enjoy music, photos and games with those around you, without requiring a Wi-Fi AP or cellular signal. This innovative feature enables you to connect directly with others to share, play and co-create content and entertainment instantly. Its 'Share Music' option means you can have the same song playing on multiple phones in sync to create the best party atmosphere.
The Galaxy S 4 brings people closer together by breaking down language barriers. It makes international travel a joy with 'S Translator' providing instant translation, using text or voice translation on applications including email, text message and ChatON. This instant translation is possible both from speech-to-text, and text-to-speech, meaning that you can rely on understanding everything whilst you are abroad.
The Galaxy S 4 supports HSPA+42 Mbps and 4G LTE which means wherever you are in the world, you can rely on perfect connectivity. The LTE version supports up to 6 different band sets which allows it to function in most LTE coverage areas as well as enabling global LTE roaming. Furthermore, TDD/FDD LTE Dual Mode version will be introduced later this year.
Effortless Experience - making everything more convenient
In today's world, we are all looking for smart ways to make life easier and less stressful. The Galaxy S 4 ensures that tasks are effortless with innovative features that detect your face, voice and motions to enable screen control with no need for finger touch activation.
'Samsung Smart Pause' means you can control the screen using your eyes. When you are watching a video, the video pauses when you look away, then it starts right up again when you are back. 'Samsung Smart Scroll' allows you to scroll the browser or emails up and down without touching the screen. It detects your eyes and recognises the movement of your wrist, and then scroll the pages up or down accordingly.
'Air View' allows you to hover with your fingers to preview the content of an email, S Planner, image gallery or video without having to open it. You can even see a magnified view on the internet browser, or a phone number saved in the speed dial on the keypad. With 'Air Gesture', you can change a music track, scroll up and down a web page, or accept a call with a wave of your hand.
With 'S VoiceTM Drive' you can activate commands via voice control for optimisation when driving. Once connected with a car Bluetooth, the phone automatically turns into driving mode converting text to speech so you can easily and safely check messages with no need to look at the screen.
'Optical Reader' makes life yet more effortless, by automatically recognising text, a business card or QR code information, and providing useful functions such as translation, call, text message and search.
At home, using 'Samsung WatchON', the Galaxy S 4 will transform into an IR remote to control your home entertainment system including TV, set-top box, DVD player and even air conditioner. In addition, you can enjoy various content including live TV, cable TV and VOD based on the rich information provided by EPG (Electronic Programme Guide).
Empowered Living - taking care of your health and quality of life
The Galaxy S 4 empowers your life by keeping you up-to-date with health and wellbeing information using the new 'S Health' software. The combination of sensorsbuilt within the device systematically and automatically monitors your health, surroundings, and so much more to help improve your quality of life. Also, you can easily check your health conditions using food diary, exercise diary and sleep monitor to stay fit and healthy. (Certain functions are enabled by specific accessories.)
To further protect your wellbeing, 'Samsung Adapt Display' provides an optimal viewing experience, customised for each type of application, and 'Samsung Adapt Sound' offers an optimal level and type of sound, personalised for each person, to make the most out of life.
The Samsung Galaxy S 4 will be available from April 26th in the UK from the Samsung Experience Store at Westfield Stratford City and all other major operators. European availability is through globile mobile operators such as Deutsche Telecom, EE, H3G, Orange, Telenor, Telia Sonera, Telefonica, and Vodafone.

As if it didn't have enough problems on its hands, the U.S. now finds itself in a debate over one of the unchallenged notions of U.S. national consciousness. The argument was set off by Russian President Vladimir Putin, who clearly knows what buttons to press to quickly get Americans riled up. Button number one is American "exceptionalism, the notion that the U.S., based on its values and history, occupies a unique place in the world.
Putin, who has been having fun making Washington look bad all week, tossed in a jibe at this conviction late in his op-ed in the New York Times:
"I carefully studied [President Obama's] address to the nation on Tuesday. And I would rather disagree with a case he made on American exceptionalism, stating that the United States' policy is 'what makes America different. It's what makes us exceptional.' It is extremely dangerous to encourage people to see themselves as exceptional, whatever the motivation. There are big countries and small countries, rich and poor, those with long democratic traditions and those still finding their way to democracy. Their policies differ, too. We are all different, but when we ask for the Lord's blessings, we must not forget that God created us equal.
The response, as he must have expected, was immediate, intense and overwhelmingly hostile. "I almost wanted to vomit," said Sen. Robert Menendez, a Democrat who heads the foreign relations committee. Who is some jumped-up former KGB agent to lecture the United States on its national interest, or anything else for that matter?
Reactions veered between anger at Putin for daring to be so uppity, and outrage that he had so easily outwitted their president.
Talk radio blowhard Rush Limbaugh almost gave birth to a canary. After losing his copy of Putin's argument — "I thought I had it here at the top. My bad, folks. At any rate, it's an outrage" —
what exceptionalism is, and isn't.
What it isn't:
It is not that we are better people. It is not that we are superior people. It is not that we are smarter people. It is not that God loves us and hates everybody else. It is not that God prefers us. It is not that God doesn't prefer anybody else.
What it is:
The history of the world is dictatorship, tyranny, subjugation, whatever you want to call it of populations — and then along came the United States of America. Pilgrims were the first to come here seeking freedom from all of that. … They simply wanted to escape the tyranny of their ordinary lives. This country was founded that way. For the first time in human history, a government and country was founded on the belief that leaders serve the population. This country was the first in history, the EXCEPTION — e-x-c-e-p-t, except. The exception to the rule is what American exceptionalism is.
asked: "We think we're special. Is that so wrong?" Then it explained: "When Obama invoked 'exceptionalism' at the
the other night, he was talking about America's moral obligation as a world power, not the innate superiority of its citizens."
, in a story topped, "Sorry, President Putin, But Data Shows America Actually Is Exceptional," used a Gallup poll to note that more potential migrants around the world choose the U.S. over other countries.
Eugene Robinson of the Washington Post
, insisting that American exceptionalism "was better than the Russian kind," noted: "The moral case for a strike against the Assad regime is predicated on the fact that if the United States doesn't do something, nobody will."
Many of the respondents were careful to argue, like Limbaugh, that 'exceptionalism" doesn't mean Americans think they're better than other people. While that may be true in the academic sense, to many Americans the subtleties are lost. In a commentary written before Putin's remarks,
, referring to U.S. "credibility", exclaimed:
The United States still carries the biggest stick. We are still the bravest, most compassionate, most generous nation in the history of mankind. When our allies need us, our credibility is beyond reproach. We always act decisively when the stakes are clear. The world knows this. It is our exceptional history, not a single, transitory man, that inspires belief.
It was that sort of conceit that Putin found so easy to skewer. When a nation considers itself more compassionate, more reliable, more decisive and more generous than all others, it shouldn't be surprised to find its presence wearing on the rest of the crowd. OK, if it's so exceptional, why is it so desperately looking for friends and allies to join it in bombing Syria? And why are they so reluctant?
One difficulty has been the lack of an agreed-on definition of what
make the U.S. special. In a 2009 speech, Obama suggested that "in our body of law, in our democratic practices, in our belief in free speech and equality" the U.S. was the exception to the rule, but added that other countries also think they're special — "Brits believe in British exceptionalism and the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism" .
On Tuesday's televised speech on the Syria situation, he offered a different explanation: "When, with modest effort and risk, we can stop children from being gassed to death, and thereby make our own children safer over the long run, I believe we should act. … That's what makes America different." But again he undercut himself, declaring that "America is not the world's policeman. Terrible things happen across the globe, and it is beyond our means to right every wrong."
In effect, he was agreeing with Putin, that it's dangerous for a country to consider itself exceptional, because events will always arise to humble it. The U.S. has long accepted that danger in return for
the joy of considering itself,
as a nation, a notch above the rest. Obama seems to feel it might be time to reassess the costs and benefits of that belief. The reaction to Putin's suggestion indicates the bulk of the country is far from ready for that yet.

Removing rotten ends
To start a reclaimed wood project, remove the nails and, using a chop saw, cut off the rotten board ends. The image shows just how deeply water damage can intrude into some pieces.
Working with reclaimed lumber on your own can be time consuming and, without a proper milling saw, the work is labor intensive and hard on tools. You'll want a table saw with at least a 15 amp, 4.5 horsepower motor, and even with this setup, expect to be slowed down by the occasional piece of pine heartwood, which is very gummy. Because you'll need to change blades regularly — and precision is less important than endurance — you can economize by buying less expensive blades.

text: I have a .32 caliber revolver made in Brazil by Industria Nacional de Armas (I.N.A.). The markings do not indicate whether it is a .32 S&W, .32 Long Colt, etc. Both S&W and LC rounds fit the cylinder but my understanding is that the calibers are not compatible. How can I determine which it is. I cannot find any history on the gun whatsoever. The revolver has a tiger etched on one side. On the barrel it says .32 I.N.A.

Redskins QB Donovan McNabb has broken his silence over the controversy surrounding him, his agent Fletcher Smith and the team's coaching staff.
Making his weekly appearance on his ESPN 980 radio show, McNabb said he supported Smith's highly critical statement that was issued last week. Smith blasted coach Mike Shanahan's treatment of McNabb but laid more blame for the team's sour relationship with the QB on offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan.
FULL TEXT: Smith blasts Redskins' handling of McNabb
McNabb's only comments to the media since his benching have come on his weekly radio show, which he's contractually obligated to appear on. ESPN 980 is owned by Redskins owner Dan Snyder.
McNabb said throughout the broadcast that he backed his agent and his thoughts. The QB reiterated that he would still like to be the Redskins' signal caller if the situation improved.
"Things would obviously have to change," McNabb said. "Relationships would have to be better. Conversations would have to be better."
McNabb also said he doesn't regret signing a contract extension with the team in November -- though the team can terminate the deal after the season and owe McNabb just $3.5 million.
The veteran QB said he's now on the "same page" with Kyle Shanahan and that both are moving on from the matter. McNabb was the team's emergency No. 3 quarterback against the Jaguars in Week 16 and is expected to be in the same role for the season-finale against the Giants. -- Arin Karimian
Nate Davis is a reporter, blogger and editor who's been at USA TODAY since 2000. He has covered the NFL since 2005. No, he did not play quarterback for Ball State. Davis' succession of our esteemed colleague Sean Leahy at The Huddle is considered a Brady-for-Bledsoe swap by most "insiders."More about Nate

Bi-amp 3 way design selection and calcs
After following the good advice on this forum some time ago, I ended up with an excellent Shiva-based sub as my first speaker project. Im now up to doing my first speaker. Electronics and woodwork are no issue, so I have decided to built a bi-amped three way since I already have the amps and PSUs.
Not having built anything other than the sub, its hard to select drivers other than based on more experienced folks subjective opinions. And with that Ive started with :
Peerless 850146 woofer
Vifa PH13WH0008 mid
Vifa TDG4506 tweeter
Using Unibox I see the 3db rolloff point for the 850146 is around 50 or 60Hz (as raf as I can see on the graph). I f I dont include the effects of Le (which I presume I dont since the driver is running directly off an amp) I also have a nice flat response. SPL @1m is 87.3dB.
For the PH13 I assume Unibox is of limited use because I am only using the mid-range portion of its response. Unibox's vented box recommendation refers only to base response. I assume this is correct, because my response for a closed box is somewhat less than flat, although tells me my enclosure should be 2.2L. Am I on the right track here ?
I also see the PH13 handles only 40W, producing 88.9dB @ 1m, a contrast to the 850146. But its moving a lot less air, so I guess that is also OK ?
And for the tweeter Im looking at the sensitivity of 90dB @ 1m, Im not sure how else I should be modelling it ?
If someone can provide some guidance on if my selections and assumptions are reasonable, and from here I should pick crossover frequencies and design the mid to tweeter crossovers.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Tami's Dining Room: After
Use warm tones and summery textures to create an inviting atmosphere without sacrificing airiness.
Sunny yellow walls take advantage of natural light and balance the coldness of a travertine floor. Bright buttercup works with the home's Spanish architecture and the earthy colors of its other rooms.
Crisp hacienda curves on the chandelier and the table base pick up on Tami's chair backs and create drama against the yellow backdrop.
Low art and sconces, plus a mirror, align to visually "lower" an awkward sloped ceiling and make the space feel more intimate. (Candle sconces require no wiring and work just as well.)
A lively rug anchors the table, warms up the floor, and eliminates the echo. Stone is a neutral, so any pattern, like this southwestern stripe, can work with it. A flat weave is smart in a dining room because it lets chairs slide easily. Use a rug pad or tape down the corners to keep the rug in place.
Sheer curtains add softness and show off the arched window by high-lighting its shape. The Shaws are a casual family with three kids, and formal curtains would have clashed with their lifestyle.
A simple sideboard that blends quietly with the decor (but doesn't match exactly) brings some eclectic cool and adds storage.

Latest Weather Blog
"The FIRST Weatherman..."
John Jeffries was a Boston physician, scientist, and military surgeon with the British Army during the Revolutionary War. Jeffries is recognized as the first "weatherman." As noted in a previous column, he was an early balloonist and accompanied Jean-Pierre Blanchard in 1785 as their balloon crossed the English Channel. During the flight, Dr. Jeffries took weather readings with a thermometer, barometer, and hydrometer - to measure humidity, an electrometer - to determine electrical activity, a timepiece, compass and telescope. He also used a ribbon and scissors to determine the rise and fall of the balloon and a pen and pencil to ascertain if thin air affected their use. Today marks his birthday in 1744, known as National Weatherman's Day. Thanks to Cookies by Design for their "Weatherman's Day" gifts.

ok, everyone old person is going crazzy right about now looking at me and making faces with their walking sticks pointing at me- lolz- no pun...
i pop the hood and disconnect the battery so the horn/alarm shuts up...
i then say gotta be a fuse for this alarm that i can unplug and be on my way.... nope no fuse- at least its not in the owners manual. everything but the alarm system is labeled in the manual...GREAT:rolleyes:
so i go under the car to try and disconnect the alarm itself- to no avail i couldnt even get my head under the car enough to be able to reach it with my arm... so i get a bright idea of looking up just the horn in the manual to be able to shut off the horn at least while i try and figure this out....
i remove the fuse for the horn- thanks god!! and all my alarm lights are obviously still flickering about.... my friend and i were stumped looking at each other like daym wtf??:confused::confused::confused: after about (i dont remember how long it was) the light flickering turned off and i was like...uhhhh..ok....
i turn the turn the key to see if it starts and etc. everything is fine like it never happened???
after that we were on our way to albany- i didnt need that issue for 1 hr and half before we left so im wondering WTF went wrong there? anybody got any ideas?
anybody know the fuse for the alarm itself?
disclaimer: i called the dealership and they wanted me to bring it in when all i asked was ""tell me the fuse or what i can do to disable the alarm system" they kept saying they wouldnt know and theyd need a tech to work on it-- bullshiot!!! they just want me to bring it in so they can bank off the crap- i really wasnt in the mood for this junk yesterday so i hung up on his dumb ass and figured it out myself. some help jeep was yesterday-
all i asked was tell me the fuse, and they were idiots saying theres no way i can know... wtf you phucking lumbnutts! u work at a dealership and youre telling me that you cant tell me which fuse it which in your vehicles???
heading back to nyc soon,hopefully my alarm doest just go off on its own again, and i dont have to disconnect the battery and horn fuse just to be on my way.
i thought it was very wierd i was able to start my car numerous times while my alarm was going off.... is my concern...
Re: Alarm system issues...pita!!!
Weird:confused: I had the exact same sh*t when I asked about a fuse in my XJ. They were like, 'oh you'll need to book it in so we can take a look!' All I wanted to know was what fuse went in a certain plug!
Re: Alarm system issues...pita!!!
thats becasue there is NO fuse for the alarm system......
as far as I know the evs module is under the steering wheel. The alram would shut off with your key fob?
Re: Alarm system issues...pita!!!
nah scott, if it turned off with the key fob then i wouldnt have had to deal with this issue. thats the first thing i tried to no avail.
no fuse for the alarm system- i didnt know that? but there has to be a way to bypass the alarm or altogether shut it off from ever* working if i ever needed to do that right?
surely there is a way....
also in all my previous jeeps- i could never start the car while the alarm was sounding off... is one of my main concerns...
Re: Alarm system issues...pita!!!
well....its really something the dealer should do becasue the module is "wired" in with the igntion switch in the dash.
Re: Alarm system issues...pita!!!
well an update. last night i put back the horn fuse because after a solid 400 miles the jeep didnt act up like it did outside my friend house on saturday.
so i wont bring this into a steelership unless it happens again.
fingers crossed-
thanks scott-
Re: Alarm system issues...pita!!!
Probably just a crazy jeep electrical gremlin. I personally wouldn't say they are notorious for it but many people will say otherwise. Jeeps in general have bee known by some to freak out just like mentioned, other times it has been more important systems so luckily for you it was just some noise and light lol. Fingers x'ed you should be ok ;) If not Id look into the EVs like Scott mention under the wheel, something with that maybe bugged out. All it takes is a little moisture or heat or some wire to be near another and boom anything can happen, electric is funny like that :)
Re: Alarm system issues...pita!!!
ok it happened again....and one time i never got around to mentioning here in october. so altogether 3 times this alarm system went bananas....
this time around it had a different tune though..
last night i stop and pull into a spot to pick up something and step out lock the doors set the alarm and i was off for a bout 5 minutes... i get back but this time i forget that i set the alarm (dumbass) and go to open the drivers side door. it opened because steps before i got to the car i pressed unlock with the keyfob. so i open the door and alram is blaring off....
at this point im confused cause i pressed unlock and that shouldve disarmed the alarm system to begin with so i was clueless as to what is going on at this point... of course i try to disarm again with the fob but nope...so i try and start it as it always started right up even though the alarm is sounding off and fully active.....
im sort of being a pain to the area with my alrm sounding off so i pull away out of my spot to try and pop the hood in between avenues so its less people traffic.. as i pull into the avenue (a half block away, prolly rolled a good 500 yards) as im driving into another parking space the alarm shuts off on its own....
this is getting to be annoying but i think 3 times now requires some kind of attention more than not...
any idea before i make an appointment with the steelership?
Re: Alarm system issues...pita!!!
Like I already said, there is way too much information and WAY too little space upstairs to retain it all, the key to information is knowing what you need on hand and what you can easily access.
Be happy your alarm isnt disable-able (thats a word right) with a simple fuse or relay... that would be counter productive, no? People still figure out how to steal the stuff but it sure as hell is not by just pulling a fuse, unless in your case they just disable the horn and drive off lights flashing ha ha.
Lastly, What vehicle is this on?
Re: Alarm system issues...pita!!!
is this something to do with the panic button on the remote?
when i first got my WK, mind you i dont have an alarm, just the panic button on my RKE fob. i pressed it and the horn started going off lights flashing etc and i couldnt figure out how to shut it off, i had to pull the horn relay to be able to have some quiet so i could figure out what the deal was, i tried starting the car and it would start, but panic mode was still going off. so i read the manual, lights still flashing by the way, and i learned i had to hold the panic button instead of just quick pressing it while, in or very close to the car for it to shut off. and so it did. and then i was able to put the horn relay back in, and i never tripped the panic button unnecessarily again.
maybe the your remote is shorting on the panic button causing it to get the panic signal and have your alarm go crazy?
Re: Alarm system issues...pita!!!
Mine is a european spec WH/WK, siren instead of your horn, sometimes (after a few months the alarm starts acting on its own. The only way to reset the alarm(as everybody has mentioned there is no fuse for it) is to disconect your battery, wait at least 15 min. and then the alarm will reset it self. Works with mine(factoryalarm!)
The only disadvantage is that everything else is also resetted, like your radio/satnav and for that you need to input your radiocode (which in europe the hold at the dealership) But the rsetting does work, if the radio is NOT resetted, the alarm is also not resetted!
Hope this works for US cars as well

Sex in Sochi: Olympian says use of hook-up app at Games is 'next level'
CTVNews.ca Staff
Published Friday, February 14, 2014 9:48AM EST
Wondering what Olympians in Sochi are doing for Valentine's Day? According to one gold medallist, many are spending their down time at the Games on Tinder, an app commonly used for dating and hooking up.
U.S. snowboarder Jamie Anderson recently described Tinder use in the Sochi Olympic Village as "next level." The 23-year-old snowboarder told US Weekly that she, along with other female athletes, have been spending time on Tinder while at the Games.
For those not familiar with it, Tinder matches up people based on their location. Users create profiles based on their Facebook photos and are paired up with other Tinder users based on their proximity to each other. A user either approves or rejects the other person by swiping their photo to the right or left, and it's only when both users "approve" of each other that are they are able to communicate.
In a setting like the Olympic Village – where close to 3,000 young athletes from around the world have congregated in the isolated Black Sea resort town for just over two weeks – one can imagine how Tinder might be used.
"Tinder in the Olympic Village is next level. It's all athletes! In the mountain village it's all athletes. It's hilarious. There are some cuties on there," Anderson said.
She admitted that she had to delete the app at one point because she found it too distracting. It probably was for the best, as the California native took gold early on in the women's snowboard slopestyle event.
After generating headlines for tweeting in January about being excited to use the app in Sochi, New Zealand snowboarder Rebecca Possum Torr has since joked about her use of the app:
"@stefiluckston: One last @tinder before she leaves Sochi. . . @PossumTorr #lolympics pic.twitter.com/6PZ7d5UFDQ" MEGALOL
— Rebecca Possum Torr (@PossumTorr) February 13, 2014
She added that with the amount of press her tweets had generated for Tinder, they might consider offering her a business deal:
@tinder so after all this press. how do you feel about a partnership? :P hahahahaha xxx
— Rebecca Possum Torr (@PossumTorr) February 9, 2014
#swiperightforgold @Tinder ??? Yeah? Nah? Yeah,nah yeah???
— Rebecca Possum Torr (@PossumTorr) February 9, 2014
Since Anderson's comment made the news, a Twitter account and Tumblr have been created, posting what the account holders claim to be Tinder profiles of Sochi Olympians.
None of this should really come as a surprise, as sex at the Olympics has been one of the Games worst-kept secrets.
Past Olympic Games have seen officials supplying thousands of free condoms to athletes staying in the village. The practice first started at the 1992 Barcelona Games, and there are reports that 100,000 condoms are on hand in Sochi.
In 2012, Olympic athletes opened up about the amount of sex that goes down in the Olympic Village, in a long expose by ESPN.

TopShop owner Sir Philip Green is poised to return to the stock market as MySale, in which he has a 25% stake, gets set to float in London with a value of more than £300 million.
Several new listings have proved lacklustre but the online flash sales site brushed off fears that the bubble is about to burst and it is expected to go public on AIM next month. Green paid £50 million for his holding in the Australian business.
If the flotation is successful, it will represent Green's first involvement with a quoted company since 1988, when he was chairman and chief executive of discount retailer Amber Day. "What they have managed to achieve in Australia is very impressive, signing up 10 million members is exceptional," Green told the Evening Standard. "Online is an interesting space in the market."
Asked whether he would take an official role in the company, he said: "I've got enough to do. They have done very well. I will offer them a helpline."
This month MySale swooped to buy online fashion retailer Cocosa, which had belonged to former Harrods owner Mohamed Fayed. The company was wound down last October after struggling to gain market share.
MySale holds up to 60 flash sales a day across fashion, homeware and cosmetics products — the deals usually last around three days.
Founders Jamie and Carl Jackson, who own 45% of the business, started the online retail group in 2007 and it has spread across the Asia-Pacific region. It does not yet trade in the UK.Reuse content

Over the last decade, American shad abundance in the Potomac River has continued its consistent rise, driving the overall upward trend of shad abundance in the Chesapeake Bay.
The Chesapeake Bay Program tracks the abundance of this forage fish in the James, Potomac, Rappahannock, Susquehanna and York rivers as an indicator of watershed health. Collectively, these five waterways account for about 90 percent of the Bay's shad population, and each has its own population target. Targets in the Susquehanna and upper James rivers are based on the amount of shad certain segments of these rivers can support, while targets in the Potomac, Rappahannock, York and lower James are based on historic population levels.
Overall, shad abundance in the Chesapeake Bay increased from 9 percent of the goal in 2000 to 41 percent of the goal in 2013. The Potomac River has seen the most consistent increase in returning shad, which spend their adult lives in the ocean but migrate into freshwater rivers and streams to spawn: between 2000 and 2013, shad abundance in the Potomac rose from 12.4 percent to 129.4 percent of the target. Scientists attribute this dramatic increase to a series of factors, including improvements in water quality; a resurgence in underwater grass beds; the installation of a fish passageway at Little Falls Dam; a moratorium on recreational shad harvest; stocking efforts that reprinted fish to the river and kick-started the population; and the overall suitability of the Potomac as shad habitat. The river was once so full of shad in the spring that onlookers said it ran silver.
While shad abundance is also relatively high in the Rappahannock River—reaching 92.7 percent of the target in 2012 but falling to 88.9 percent of the target in 2013—abundance remains negligible in the upper James and Susquehanna and variable in the lower James and York. Some variability is natural, but the continued scarcity of shad in the upper James and Susquehanna can be attributed to large dams that block fish passage and mute some of the natural cues that send migratory fish upstream.
Between 2000 and 2013, American shad abundance in the Chesapeake Bay increased from 9 percent of the goal to 41 percent of the goal. Over the long term:
American shad spend most of their adult lives in the ocean, migrating into the Chesapeake Bay's freshwater rivers and streams each spring to spawn. Once one of the most valuable fisheries in the Bay, shad populations have declined in recent decades due to pollution, historic overfishing and the construction of dams that block the fish from reaching their spawning grounds. Commercial shad harvest is now closed across most of the region, and Chesapeake Bay Program partners are working to remove dams, install passageways that allow shad to reach upstream habitats and restock waterways with hatchery-raised fish. In addition, students in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia are raising shad and releasing them into the Potomac River, bringing public attention to the importance of the once-forgotten fish.
American shad form an important link in the Chesapeake Bay food web: shad feed on zooplankton, and in turn are eaten by larger fish like bluefish and striped bass. Shad are also part of the region's history and culture, and many communities still hold spring shad festivals to celebrate the return of the fish.
"While there are several factors behind the shad recovery in the Potomac River, improved water quality is the cornerstone. Without cleaner waters in the Potomac River, we would never have seen such a boost in returning shad. We've reached the sustainable fishery target for the river, but we are still working to achieve a more robust goal: to see the shad population healthy and fit, and to see the river run silver again. That's not a 'pristine river' goal—that's a goal we can achieve."
--- Jim Cummins, Director for Living Resources, Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin, and Co-Chair, Chesapeake Bay Program's American Shad Indicator Action Team
"We appreciate the work of the Chesapeake Bay Program's American Shad Indicator Action Team to refine the basis for evaluating the health of American shad, a critically important species in the Chesapeake Bay. The shad indicator helps us track benefits to shad at the watershed level thanks to habitat restoration efforts such as dam removals and fish passage projects."
--- Peyton Robertson, Director, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Chesapeake Bay Office, and Chair, Chesapeake Bay Program's Sustainable Fisheries Goal Implementation Team

Janus nanoparticles were prepared by taking advantage of interfacial ligand exchange reactions of hydrophobic hexanethiolate-protected gold nanoparticles with hydrophilic 2-(2-mercaptoethoxy)ethanol (MEA). A monolayer of the particles was first formed at the air–water interface by the Langmuir technique and then deposited onto a substrate surface by the Langmuir–Blodgett method. The particle monolayer was then immersed into an aqueous solution of MEA for different periods of time. It was found that the exchange reactions occurred but were limited only to the top face of the nanoparticles and the reaction reached equilibrium in about 8 h. The resulting particles exhibited amphiphilic characters as confirmed by contact angle and UV–visible, FTIR and NMR spectroscopic measurements. Of these, the structural discrepancy between the Janus nanoparticles and bulk-exchanged particles was clearly manifested, in particular, by NOESY NMR measurements.

Shred Ready Helmets - Anyone know anything about them?
Saw that The Clymb | The Gear You Need. Up to 70% Below Retail. has Shred Ready helmets on sale today. Does anyone know anything about them? Did a google search and didn't find much other than their website (as far as reviews or additional information) - Shred Ready - Snow Sports Helmets. Under $50 for a rated helmet with an (likely mediocre, are any of them really that fantastic anyway) audio system seems like a pretty decent deal, as long as it offers enough head protection.
Has anyone seen them 1st hand or tried one one/worn one on the slopes? All these recent deaths due to head injury are making me really think I should buy a decent lid. I never ride out of control, but I do want something between my head and the snow in the event that some jackass who isn't in control clips me.
I've used their whitewater helmets and like them. I think they're expanding their line like sweet did a few years ago. Their whitewater helmets are solid and well made and there's no reason to think the sb helmets would be any different.
Good to know. Does your helmet fit true to size or did you size up/down? I'm right on the cusp between a L & XL. My head is approx 23", so I'm thinking XL... Curious if the audio is any good on these also. Really hoping someone who has bought a SB helmet from them can tell me.
My whitewater helmet fit true to size and they have a nice retention system. They're speaker pocket design looks like the standard drop in most mfrs. are using now. From looks any drop in speaker will work: red, skull candy, giro etc. For $10 I'd give theirs a try before droping more cash on the others.
Tried to PM you back but you have your settings set to no accept messages.
I purchased one last time they were on sale. Unfortunately the helmet was too small and I had to send it back. I am a tweener between Medium and Large and these definitely run small IMO. It was real light and seemed well made and designed. I'd go on the bigger side. The seemed to be plenty of adjustment to tighten it up. I thought they look good too. I ended up with a Giro Surface S which I like but it is a lot heavier.
I kept the audio. The earpads seem similar in sound quality to the Skull Candy drops. The cords are crap, broke after two uses but my GF has the same problem with the Skull Candy ones, I think she is on her 5th cord or so. For $10 though they are a much better deal than the $30 or more they charge for other brands of drops.
I went ahead and ordered one in XL with the audio kit. Thanks for the input and the response! I'm glad to hear that you found the helmet to be light weight, as that is really important to me. I used to ride street & dirt bikes & a heavy helmet would cause some neck pain after a very long ride. I figure the same goes for riding the slopes.
Thanks again for the response & input!
Even tried to go through the administrator, said you don't accept messages.
Definitely on the light side, more like a bike helmet. Probably good for one hard shot but that's what they are for, keep your brains from scrambling.
Hope you like it.
Maybe I need an admin to help me out, I don't know...
Hopefully it shows up earlier than they claimed, since the 1st week of April is likely to be nearing the end of the season locally, unless some serious spring snow rolls thru. I'm really hoping I never have to find out how hard of a hit it can take, just want the added protection factor just in case...
Their shipping policy sucks but they claim it is to save you money. Took forever to get mine but hopefully you have more luck. Not sure what it is like down there but the snow machine is in full blast mode up in the PNW, several feet have fallen in the last few days.
Better to have a helmet and not need it. Both my GF and I have hit our heads the last two weekends, something neither of us has done in the past few years. I was going fairly slow and buried my tip in warmed up goopy snow and the board came to a complete stop while I was snapped into the ground with my head taking the worst of it. Mild headache and slight case of whiplash that is still there two weeks later. Probably would have had at least a mild concussion without a helmet. GF was going much fast but nothing serious resulted, she was glad she had the helmet on.
Someone sent me a PM without issues. Who knows what the problem is/was, but it works now, and that's all I care about, haha.
Yeah, sometimes their shipping does suck, but other times I've had things show up super quick, like 4 days after ordering, when the checkout said it would be within 2-3 weeks. The helmet is expected to arrive on or before April 8. I'm hoping for well before since I'm not so sure how long the winter season will last here in SoCal.
Agreed! I hope I never have to have a situation where I need the helmet to save my brain, but it's always better to be safe than sorry.

Atlantic Coast Conference (Clemson v Florida State)
The Florida State Seminoles (2-1) are dinged up. Wide receiver Kenny Shaw was taken off the field on a stretcher after getting sandwiched by two defenders in last Saturday's 23-13 loss to the Oklahoma Sooners. Wide receiver Willie Haulstead is still recovering from a concussion, wide receiver Jarred Haggins recently had surgery on his broken hand and wide receiver Bert Reed (ankle) saw limited action last week. Quarterback E.J. Manuel was diagnosed with an AC joint sprain (shoulder of non-throwing arm) and did not practice Monday. Clint Trickett played very well in place of Manuel in last week's loss to the Sooners, passing 7-15, 134 yards. The Seminoles' defense looks nasty, but they'll be pushed to the limits once again, this time on the road at Clemson.
The Tigers have flirted with preseason BCS Bowl hopes before but instead have been relegated to the Meineke Car Care and Music City Bowls. Almost everything looks good for Clemson right now—a BCS Orange Bowl berth is in the big picture and quarterback Tajh Boyd is currently averaging 303.7 passing yards a game. The Tigers are ranked ninth in total offense but the defense is a different story giving up an average 419 yards per game.
The Tigers have home field advantage and an effervescent head coach, but will they be hung over after snapping Auburn's 17-game winning streak last Saturday? Clemson may come out flat while the Seminoles may come out angry after dropping their game to the Sooners.
Big Ten (Michigan v San Diego State)
This isn't a conference game but this match-up between the 3-0 Aztecs and 3-0 Wolverines is very intriguing. San Diego State would love to give Brady Hoke one final farewell gift by beating their former coach at the Big House while Michigan would like to keep their momentum going after beating Western Michigan, Notre Dame and Eastern Michigan.
Both teams have superb quarterbacks. The Aztecs' Ryan Lindley—a classic pocket passer— finished as the seventh leading passer in the country last year and has thrown seven touchdowns and one interception this year. The Wolverines' Denard Robinson is a dual-threat quarterback and is currently the 15th leading rusher in FBS football. But this isn't just about quarterbacks—Ronnie Hillman is chasing Marshall Faulk's career rushing record at San Diego State and last week the speedster rushed for 191 yards against Washington State.
If the Aztecs can pressure Robinson to hurry his throws but not force him to take off and run, this game will be close. If Denard sees any green grass in front of him, this could get ugly for the Aztecs. The Aztecs' front seven will need serious gap discipline to keep Robinson contained.
Big 12 (Oklahoma State v Texas A&M)
This game will be fast and furious with a lot of points being put on the board. The Oklahoma State Cowboys are averaging over 52 points per game while the Texas A&M Aggies are averaging over 41 points. The match-ups are interesting— the nation's top passing team squares off against the Aggies' 51st ranked passing defense. Conversely, an 18th ranked passing offense will be throwing against the 84th ranked Cowboys' passing defense.
Oklahoma State's Brandon Wheeden is the nation's leading passer throwing eight touchdowns and averaging nearly 385 passing yards per game but he has also thrown six interceptions. The Aggies' Ryan Tannehill, on paper at least, appears more accurate than Wheeden, albeit against teams of lesser-caliber than those that Wheeden has faced. Tannehil has a 72.3 completion percentage and has only thrown one interception.
Ball control is key. A&M should give running back Cyrus Gray the ball and let him chew up the clock and keep the Cowboys' offense off the field. If the Cowboys can't stop the run, not only will they lose the battle in the trenches, they'll also lose the war.
Big East (West Virginia v LSU)
Les Miles vs Dana Holgorsen. Two coaches with iconic personalities colliding in Morgantown, West Virginia to prove well… what? Which fan base is more passionate about football? It's a push. Which team has the more potent offense? Edge to West Virginia. Which team has a better defense? Edge to LSU. Better coach? Hmmm.
West Virginia's defense is ranked No. 40 overall, but let's be honest here, those numbers are based on three games against Marshall, Norfolk State and Maryland. LSU's defense is ranked No. 6, surrendering an average of only 207.7 yards a game against Oregon, Northwestern State and Mississippi State.
On the flip side, West Virginia is averaging almost 435 yards in offense versus LSU's 344.7 yards but LSU has faced two teams with solid defenses while two of West Virginia's foes are hovering in the bottom 25 percent of total defense team rankings. This is going to be a game in which the defense—not the offense—is the star of the game.
LSU wide receiver Russell Shepard is eligible to play in this game after serving his suspension out. His possible return will give quarterback Jarrett Lee a much-needed spark to get the offense rolling but this game is really all about Holgorsen and Miles—the coach with the biggest onions wins.
Pac-12 (Arizona State v USC)
USC quarterback Matt Barkley told Los Angeles Times reporter Baxter Holmes, "He's [Vontaze Burfict] a dirty player. His switch is always on. And it's not a good switch."
Barkley calling a linebacker who probably eats nails for breakfast "dirty" has set the tone for this game, especially since ESPN's Mark Saxon reported that head coach Lane Kiffin instructed his scout team to get aggressive after the whistle is blown to mimic game conditions. According to Saxon, offensive lineman Matt Kalil said, "If I see him [Burfict] standing around, I'll drill him."
The Sun Devils have a terrific quarterback in Brock Osweiler whose numbers are almost identical to Matt Barkley's except for his touchdown-interception ratio; Barkley is 9-1 while Osweiler is 6-3. The Sun Devils' defense has been decimated by injuries and USC will try and exploit some of its inexperience, but USC's bend-but-don't-break defense looks suspect in one particular area—look for Osweiler to throw a lot of slants and stop routes in the middle of the field.
Both Arizona State and USC are among the most penalized teams in the country—USC averages over 66 penalty yards per game while ASU averages 80.3 yards. With all the smack flying around, this contest may see a record number of fouls and penalty yards.
Southeastern Conference (Arkansas v Alabama)
Alabama's win at Penn State seemed awfully impressive until the Nittany Lions struggled against the Temple Owls the following week. Still, Alabama has been battle-tested while Arkansas has played with the likes of Missouri State, New Mexico and Troy. So who has the edge here?
Arkansas has probably the most talented wide receiver corps in the country in Greg Childs, Cobi Hamilton, Jarius Wright and Joe Adams. Childs and Wright—listed as "probable" and "doubtful" respectively last week—should play but despite their lack and/or limited playing time, the Razorbacks are still averaging almost 347 passing yards per game. Alabama will probably present Arkansas with a much greater challenge than the Razorbacks' previous opponents have because the Crimson Tide's pass defense has passed the smell test. So far.
Alabama's game plan should be fairly obvious—march down the field in long sustained drives and move the sticks to keep Razorbacks quarterback Tyler Wilson and his posse of receivers off the field. Arkansas, on the other hand, is going to try and run the ball against a Tide defense that is only allowing 55.33 rushing yards per game. Arkansas has a prolific offense but Alabama has a championship-worthy defense—which unit will come out on top?
Fun fact: Arkansas wide receiver Joe Adams has returned nine punts for 176 yards and is currently the only player to have two returned punts result in touchdowns.

Gomez attorney: no evidence
Defense attorney Michael Gomez presented a motion to dismiss the charges against Jesus Carranza, 27. Carranza is the co-defendant, along with James Gomez, who was arrested for the stabbing death of 16-year -old Zachary Perez. He is charged with first-degree murder. Perez's body was found by friends and family on a vacant lot near the intersection of East Fifth Street and Mulberry Avenue, around 2 a.m. on Feb. 13, 2010.
He had been stabbed 22 times.
"The argument is simply this: That the state has no evidence that would allow a rational and reasonable jury to convict my client beyond a reasonable [auth] doubt,†said Gomez. He said that the co-defendant confessed that he alone killed Perez and his (Michael Gomez's) client was not involved.
Defense stated that the state's case relied on guess and conjecture. Assistant District Attorney Debrah Hutchins disputed Gomez's argument.
"The credibility of all the witnesses, including Gomez (the co-defendant) were in question,†she said. Carranza, Hutchins said, gave three different statements.
Other witnesses also provided three contradictory statements both to the police and in court. "Amanda Granados stated initially (to the police) that they were looking for Perez … Mr. (James) Gomez's testimony was highly unbelievable,†Hutchins said.
He reminded the court that the initial motion-to dismiss hearing was held during the James Gomez trial and the state did not have the time to respond to the defense's motion to dismiss, but she concluded, "There is enough to present to a jury.â€
Judge Charles C. Currier stated that the defense had not presented enough to fulfill the requirements of a Foulenfont dismissal, which means the defense had not given sufficient argument to dismiss the complaint on the grounds the state had failed to establish probable cause. Currier set the date for the next pre-trial hearing for Aug. 1. He lowered Carranza's bond from $500,000 to $50,000. Carranza protested, raising his voice, as defense attorney Michael Gomez attempted to calm his client.
"It's all crap,†said Carranza, "How do you expect me to make bond?†Currier told Carranza, "You don't have to stab or shoot somebody. You are known as an accessory… The case does not go away (because Gomez was acquitted). The charges against you are serious.†Carranza replied, "I don't believe they have the right to take 15 months of my life.†When Currier held firm, Carranza swore as he remanded into custody.

Gig Alert: Chamberlin
Playing Wednesday at City Winery (155 Varick St., South Village)
Get: Tickets ($25) | Directions
Bonfires, harsh winters, geographical isolation and women are the themes in nine twangy folk rock songs that Mark Daly and Ethan West wrote in their mountainside cabin in Goshen, Vermont.
"We didn't think much of them at the time -- basically rehearsing with a microphone on -- but those acoustic tracks had some legs," said West.
Soon after, Daly and West recruited Jamie Heintz, Eric Maier and Charles Whistler to play drums and guitars with them, and a band that they named Chamberlin -- so called after a painting on their cabin wall -- was born.
Chamberlin soon signed onto the label Roll Call Records, recorded their contemplative songs in a Burlington studio and released them as Bitter Blood this past March. Scott Tournet, a fellow Vermont musician who plays guitar for Grace Potter and The Nocturnals, produced the record.
The Vermont group plays a Hurricane Irene benefit at City Winery Wednesday night. If you can't make it to the show, download "Dust" to hear Chamberlin's clear, poignant vocals soar while acoustic guitars and drumsticks harmonize and keep the beat. Or watch the band performing the song at South by Southwest in the video below.

"Then after I have poured out my rains again, I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams. Your young men will see visions." – Joel 2:28
I was reading the book of Joel the other day and this verse leaped out at me. It seemed to me that in our North American mind set we have forgotten the wonder and truth behind the visions and dreams that each of us experience as we live and grow in relationship with God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit. We tend to suppress the still small voice within us that speaks in our daily activities or times of rest and sleep, equating it to mundane nothingness and absent from any meaning or significance to the will of God.
Where has our sense of wonder gone? What dreams do we dream? What visions do we have when we think of truth, love, justice, scripture, Jesus, and God?
John Taylor writes that:
"Every good teacher knows the futility of rapping on his desk and calling: Pay attention, please! True attention is an involuntary self-surrender to the object of attention. The child who is absorbed is utterly relaxed. The adult mind, also, must be unstriving, receptive, expectant, before there can be any creative insight.
Again and again this is the state of mind in which new truth dawns. We do not work it out or think it out; rather, we have the sense of waiting for the disclosure of something that is already there. Attention means being in attendance… To be "in the Spirit" is to be vividly aware of everything the moment contains, the twigs of the thorn bush as well as the presence of God."
The idea behind this website is to give welcome to the attendance of God in my own life and to share the many dreams and wonders he brings into it. However, it is also an invitation for you to embark on a journey of your own to explore the dreams and wonders that God has placed in your heart and to share these thoughts in fellowship and community.
Together as we witness and share these wonders with one another we can and will grow richer in God's understanding and blessing. As Rave Zacharias writes in his book 'Recapture the Wonder', "Deep within every human heart throbs the undying hope that somebody or something will bring both an explanation of what life is all about and a way to retain the wonder. Yet if we would but pause and first ponder what it is that we already see in this world of wonder we might get a brief taste of the wonder that may be poured into us as well."
Perhaps now you are still wondering…

The San Antonio Public Library's policy of not using any filters to block hard core pornography from being viewed at library computers will come up for review by the Library Board this evening, 1200 WOAI news reports.
City Councilman Ron Nirenberg is pushing the board to order filters installed to prevent children from inadvertently viewing hard core material on library computers, and to meet the provisions of a law mandating steps be taken to protect children.
Library spokeswoman Caitlin Cowart says even though no web sites are blocked, the library does take steps to make sure porn is not viewed on the library's banks of publicly available computers.
"Users of the Internet have to agree to a code of conduct before logging onto the Internet," she says.
"All of the computer are out in public areas, and we have reference and circulation staff that are around and keep an eye on things."
Library staffers say patrons exposing children to hard core web porn has not been a problem at San Antonio Library branches.
Libraries generally are averse to blocking web sites based on their content. Libraries consider themselves to be a bastion of free speech, and many libraries have expressed concern that if certain content is 'censored,' by a public library, that opens the door for additional web sites to be blocked based on social or even political content.
Also, Former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart's famous comment about pornography comes into play.
Stewart famously said in one case involving pornography, "I can't define what pornography is, but I know it when I see it."
The question is what actually qualifies as 'hard core pornography' and who would make the decision on what sites would be blocked under the rule.

Vashi Tourism & Travel Guide
Vashi is a point in Navi Mumbai with high urban activity. Though Vashi is majorly congested and a business district, there are a few places here and there where you can catch your breath. The plush greenery of Kharghar, in Navi Mumbai, is a refreshing change from the busy life of the city. Vashi is the perfect weekend getaway owing to its scenic location, waterfalls and short treks, especially during the monsoon. You can also visit the Belapur Fort, Bawkhaleshwar Temple and D Y Patil Stadium – all well known tourist attractions. For a view of the entire city, drive up to Parsik Hill. The sight will make you forget that you are in a packed city. For a peaceful evening stroll amidst nature, head to the Central Park, which is also known to be a couple's paradise. Later, take a dip in in the towering Pandavkada Falls to cool off. And don't forget to feast on the lip-smacking street food at the much-famed Utsav Chowk.

Hi everyone!
We've had some changes so I feel that I need to expand my old bio:
I am a Reader, Reviewer, Lawyer, Foodie, and Discusser of all things random.
I've been "officially" blogging since 2002, and reviewing books since 2007.
My name is Limecello. For the internet, that's what people call me. In fact, in person, that's what people call me at conferences. Limecello, or Lime. No joke. (So… if you're not able to handle that, this probably isn't the place for you to be visiting or soliciting reviews…) I don't mind nicknames, or riffs on it. But that's a starting point. And it's my name.
I've actually been blogging since before blogging was a thing or even given that name. Yeah, think mid 90s and geocities. I had one. [Shout out to South Beach Marina! ;)] I've gone through xanga, livejournal, greatestjournal, blogspot, blogger, and WordPress. Obviously I'm sticking with the last for now, even though it eats my code…
I don't consider this a "Review Blog" exactly, because I do other things. Or, that had been the plan. Now it's extremely book/romance oriented, but I expect that to change at any time.
Beyond talking about whatever I feel like, writing reviews, and offering book promo slots, I have a passion for social justice. Sometimes it'll flood the blog, and other times it takes a break.
I do have an annual Social Media for Social Good fundraiser. The causes have varied – based on what great need there is that year, and it's simply the community coming together and being awesome.
For the blog itself…
The first Tuesday of each month is my Guest Author & A Giveaway feature. When I started the blog I didn't anticipate so many guest authors. I'm thrilled at the response – but what makes GA&AG special, is that it's the only time I do my quirky Author Interviews. I do my best, but it's really only as fun as the author makes it.
Then there's the Teaser Tuesday feature, that takes place the second, and fourth Tuesday of each month. Here, an author share an exclusive excerpt of one of his or her books. It might be new, old, or upcoming. Doesn't matter, as long as it isn't posted anywhere else. (Of course we prefer upcoming books, but it's the author's choice.)
I also have a few awesome ladies who contribute and write reviews (and other stuff.) One such person is Liz. She wrote an "About Me"/ Introductory type post.
My friend Sandi S. (of Fresh Fiction fame) writes a post the last Saturday of each month. Sandi talks about books, what she's been doing, it's a general post.
Author Shelli Stevens has quarterly posts where she talks about anything.
Every six months, Julia comes and talks about what she's been reading lately.
I'm also always looking for more reviewers, so if you're interested, contact me, and send a sample. If you'd like us to review your book, feel free to contact me via the form. We of course reserve the right to decline reviewing any book.

Provincial Offences
Where are we located?
The City of Kawartha Lakes court location is in Lindsay to serve the public:
City of Kawartha Lakes
Provincial Offences Office
440 Kent St. West, Lower Level
Hours: Monday-Friday, 8:30 am 4:30 pm
Justices of the Peace available Monday – Friday @ 9:00 a.m.
Please call to confirm availability.
Who are we?
In 2000, the Town of Lindsay became responsible for court scheduling, administration, enforcement and prosecutions of Provincial Offences Act (POA) charges. Upon amalgamation in January 2001, The City of Kawartha Lakes Court Services was created to provide those services to the City of Kawartha Lakes and County of Haliburton.
What does POA mean?
POA (Provincial Offences Act) governs how charges are processed and prosecuted. It applies to all provincial statutes as well as municipal by-laws and some minor federal contraventions. Most of the POA offences filed in our court fall under the Highway Traffic Act, the Compulsory Automobile Insurance Act, the Liquor Licence Act or the Trespass to Property Act. Most of those offences are minor and paid out-of-court.
Why do we have a collections unit?
"It's time to pay that FINE!"
Prior to 2000 a large percentage of unpaid fines were not enforced or collected by the Province, leaving millions of dollars of inherited lost revenue for the City of Kawartha Lakes and the Haliburton County. These unpaid fines have been forwarded to our Collections Unit. They are subject to additional fees and could result in one or more of the following: licence suspension, plate denial, credit reporting, garnisheed wages and personal property liens, and civil enforcement. Currently ALL defaulted fines are forwarded to the Collections Unit and collection activity begins immediately.
People with outstanding fines will receive an overdue notice with instructions on how to submit their payments. For more information, contact the City of Kawartha Lakes Court Services Collection Unit at 705-324-3962 ext. 2216.

S.S. White Flexible Shaft's TRAS & Rudder Pedal Adjustment System on Boeing 787
The world's next generation commercial aircraft, the Boeing 787 incorporates S.S. White flexible rotary shafts to help power the aircraft's Thrust Reverser Actuation System (TRAS) and flexible rotary shafts to support rudder pedal adjustment.
Boeing 787 incorporates S.S. White flexible rotary shafts to help power the
aircraft's Thrust Reverser Actuation System (TRAS) and flexible rotary shafts to
support rudder pedal adjustment. The TRAS opens deflectors along the rear
side of the aircraft's engine nacelles to slow the aircraft down after landing to
insure a safe arrival.
S.S. White provides a set of four flexible rotary shafts per engine that are
activated to synchronize the actuation system that opens both halves of the
thrust reverser panels upon landing. These same flexible shafts also help lock
the TRAS system to prevent it from inadvertently engaging during flight.
In addition, all aerospace flexible shaft products are designed to one of the
industry's highest performance criteria by utilizing a unique computer modeling
program developed by S.S. White called PERFLEXION. This program allows the
design engineers to fully model the behavioral characteristics of the wire bundles
within the shaft core and arrive at an optimum product that provides maximum
bending flexibility and torsional strength while allowing minimal torsional
deflection with up to a 30 percent improvement above accepted industry
S.S. White Technologies is a world leader in the design, engineering,
manufacture and testing of a wide variety of flexible shaft products for the
aerospace, medical, automotive and industrial markets around the globe.
Almost all of the commercial and military aircraft platforms in the air today
(except Russian) and more than one-half of US manufactured cars rely on S.S.
White Technologies flexible shaft products. The company currently has
manufacturing facilities in the United States, the United Kingdom and India.

Things You DO NOT Need At College
Photo Credit: Getty Images
I was notorious for packing WAY too much crap for college. It would drive my dad crazy, not that he actually helped me carry stuff to my dorm room anyway. There were plenty of things packed that never made it out of their boxes.
If you are preparing for school, or if you have a child that is, here's a nice list of a few things you can skip out on and save some space. Thanks Mashable.
1) Stereo: No one needs a big stereo in their room anymore. Truth is, mini bluetooth speakers sound just as good (if not better) and take up a heck of a lot less space. You don't even really need one. Just use your computer speakers.
2) Extra Pillows: Everyone wants to have a nice looking dorm room. But extra pillows just end up on the floor, or in a box, and never get set up again after the first night. They're useless.
3) Iron/ironing board: Don't bring it. You probably won't use it anyway. We all know that you're way more likely to bring clothes home to your mom to get ironed. If you find yourself in a situation where you NEED to iron something, there's surely going to be someone that did bring one.
4) Printer: There are plenty of printers on a college campus. Don't waste space, or money, on a printer for your computer. It is not worth it. Plus, it's definitely cheaper to use one on campus than to buy your own ink etc.
5) Alarm clock: That's what phones are for.

A Closer Look at Aesthetics SchoolsIf you want a career that goes beyond appearances to help people feel better about themselves, take a closer look at aesthetics schools.
Aesthetics schools are dedicated to excellence in the teaching of skin care. Their goal is to provide a high-quality education so that you will pass your state licensing exam and become successfully employed in the field of aesthetics.
Admission requirements
To be considered for admission to aesthetics schools, you must be at least 18 years old and have a high school diploma or equivalent. And due to the nature of skin care, you must be free from any contagious or communicable disease. Most important, you must be passionate about working with and serving others.
Aesthetics programs
A basic, 300-hour aesthetics program typically covers anatomy and physiology; cosmetic chemistry and product knowledge; depilation and waxing; electricity; eyebrow shaping; makeup application; massage; skin diseases and disorders; sterilization, sanitation, and bacteriology; aesthetics equipment; and management, communication, ethics, and the law.
In addition to these courses, an advanced, 600-hour-plus medical aesthetics program typically covers glycolic peels; laser hair removal; microdermabrasion; muscle stimulation lift; and photo rejuvenation.
Accreditation and certification
When researching aesthetics schools, consider enrolling in one of the 1,000 institutions accredited by the National Accrediting Commission of Cosmetology Arts & Sciences, which is recognized by the US. Department of Education.
Once you've completed your training at aesthetics schools, you may wish to pursue the CIDESCO Diploma, an international qualification in the field of aesthetics. To sit for the two-day written and practical exams, you'll need to complete a course of study at a CIDESCO-certified U.S. school, or you'll need a diploma from a non-certified school as well as at least three years experience practicing aesthetics.
Career opportunities
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of aestheticians is expected to grow a whopping 34 percent between 2006 and 2016, as more facial procedures become available and popular in spas and medical settings. That means there are plenty of career paths to choose from in the field of aesthetics.
With training from aesthetics schools, you can open a professional office or share expenses with others by working in a day spa. Other options include becoming a beauty educator and conducting classes and workshops for aspiring and current aestheticians. You can also become a sales rep for a cosmetic company. With advanced aesthetics training, you may wish to work as a medical aesthetician in a doctor's office.
Take a closer look at aesthetics schools, and embark on a career where you can change the face of the world.

Game On!
But Library Cab could've been so great!
Oh sure, just as I'm getting ready to launch my new game show - Library Cab - Wine.Woot puts up this Ardente Estate Winery Library Cab sale. Ugh!
It was going to be awesome. First, the contestant would get into the cab and lights would go off. When the contestant totally freaked out with excitement he or she would be shushed by the driver, a professional librarian. The rest of the drive is then spent in silence as the passenger researched the topic of his or her choosing. The silence would only be broken for polite questions about database-searching techniques. Also, the cab would've been the size of bus to hold all the books and computers.
But now, with this 3-pack of from Ardente Estate Winery, everyone's gonna be all confused. It'll be like, "Are you talking about the show or the sampler of award-winning wines?"
Thanks, Wine.Woot... for RUINING MY LIFE!
