With some blooms already popping up, a Texas botanist says that the state should have a good showing of wildflowers this spring because of the fall and winter rains.

Marjean Smiley of Rockville, Ind., shrugged off a bit of afternoon mist as she admired the bluebonnets hugging the South Meadow Trail at the Houston Arboretum and Nature Center.
"I love them," said Smiley, who was touring the Memorial Park arboretum this week with friend Ruth Magee of La Porte. "They're so fragile and sturdy at the same time."
Modest stands of bluebonnets also are scattered on sloping banks along Memorial Drive and on roadsides in The Woodlands and elsewhere, early signs of the bloom explosion that forecasters across the state predict is on the way.
Houstonians in need of a bountiful fix of the state wildflower often travel each spring to nearby Washington County, where better-than-average peak displays are expected this season, said Lu Hollander, publicity manager for the Convention and Visitors Bureau.
"The flowers are looking wonderful," Hollander said Friday in Brenham. "They still have a way to go in terms of being fully developed, but I think we're going to have a really good year," she said. "Not only do we have bluebonnets, we have a number of other wildflowers blooming at the same time - some of which we have not seen for years."
Four to six days more
Although Hollander will be taking photographs Saturday in Washington County, she recommends bluebonnet seekers wait a few days or until next weekend.
"They're not going to be seeing big fields yet," she said of the bluebonnets. "They will look that much better in another four, five or six days."
Wildflowers are beginning to spread their petals along FM 1155 between Chappell Hill and Washington-on-the-Brazos State Historic Site, where the park's Becky Byers reported stands of bluebonnets near the amphitheater and along Ferry Street Trail. They also can be seen near FM 390 in the Longpoint Road area, but are still small around Old Baylor Park in Independence.
Bluebonnet blooms should peak in Washington County from late March into early April, Hollander said.
Rain, mild winter did it
After a drought-driven dearth of blooms in 2011, experts in the Hill Country also are predicting a good crop this year. That's good news for Sunday drivers and family photographers.
"They're everywhere because of the beautiful fall rains and the winter rains we've had," said John R. Thomas, founder and president of Wildseed Farms in Fredericksburg. "We should see a slightly above-average year for bluebonnets."
Thomas estimated peak bloom in the Hill Country will be around April 1, about two weeks earlier than most years because of the mild winter.
The rains came at the right time, said Damon Waitt, senior director and botanist at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin. "They were spaced out nicely, and that's true pretty much for the middle of Texas on east, not so true west of Central Texas.
Waitt said the precipitation enhanced the germination of the state's winter annuals - the bluebonnet, Indian blanket and Indian paintbrush.
"Last year was very slow, very hot and very dry, and we went broke," said Robin Nichols, co-owner of Knot in the Loop Saloon on Ranch Road 1323, the route leading to Willow City Loop, Gillespie County's 13-mile wildflower mecca. The bluebonnets on the loop look promising this year, Nichols said.
"I never thought I'd be so happy to see a wild pea," she said, referring to the bluebonnet's place in the legume family.
The bumper crop in 2010 brought everything from motorcycles to buses to limos to the loop northeast of Fredericksburg, backing traffic up for as much as three hours.
"It gets pretty nutty out here, really," Nichols said.
While the drought claimed millions of Texas trees, wildflowers were less affected, thanks in part to an abundance of seed from the 2010 crop.
"That's the beautiful thing about these annuals," Waitt said. "They skipped right through the (2011) drought as a seed in the ground. They didn't really care about that."

Advance booking for the use of the Pui O Campsite during the Labour Day holiday period from April 27 to May 5 is invited from tomorrow (March 27).
The Pui O Campsite at Lantau is run by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD).
Hong Kong residents who wish to use the campsite during the above period can submit their application in person or by post to the LCSD's Islands District Leisure Services Office (DLSO) at 6/F, Harbour Building, 38 Pier Road, Central, Hong Kong. Application will close on April 11. Applicants will be notified of the result before April 19.
Application forms can be downloaded from the LCSD's website at www.lcsd.gov.hk or obtained from the LCSD's Islands DLSO. For enquiries, please call 2852 3220.
There are 52 camp bays at the Pui O Campsite. Each applicant can only book one camp bay for a maximum of four consecutive nights. If the number of bookings exceeds the number of available camp bays, the LCSD will allocate the camp bays by ballot. Successful applicants are required to produce the confirmation letter and documentary proof of identity in person upon admission to the campsite. If camp bays are unfilled, local residents as well as visitors can register for use of the facilities at the campsite office on a first-come, first-served basis.
To enhance the management of the Pui O Campsite and to allow campers to better plan their camping activity, the LCSD is trying out the above new booking arrangements at the campsite for three Mainland long holiday periods, namely the Labour Day, National Day and Lunar New Year.
Outside the above specified periods, the department will continue to adopt the current on-site registration arrangement to enable local residents as well as visitors to use the camp bays on a first-come, first-served basis without having to make prior booking.
The new booking and allocation arrangements for the camp bays were introduced on a trial basis. The department will closely monitor usage during the aforesaid periods and review the effectiveness of the new arrangements in due course.
Ends/Tuesday, March 26, 2013
Issued at HKT 11:00

Two locals continue childhood obesity fight
HURRICANE -- Two Putnam County residents are going to the nation's capital to continue their ongoing work to combat childhood obesity.
Mandy and Kirk Curry, founders of Healthy Kids Inc., a WV-based online meal planner designed to show families how to adopt a healthy eating lifestyle, have been chosen as two of only 30 people from throughout the country to participate in a two-day hackathon in Washington, D.C., according to a news release from the Putnam County Chamber of Commerce.
During the event, participants will prototype and build working solutions focused on solving the childhood obesity epidemic. The hackathon is a two-day challenge leading up to the Building a Healthier Future Summit on March 13 and 14. Participants will form teams to work on one of two challenges:
1. To help teachers empower students to make healthy choices about the food they consume, whether at home or at school.
2. To create an information avenue that shows families the healthy food options and physical activity opportunities available locally.
The Currys will be competing on challenge No. 2.
"We are all too aware of the challenges facing families in our home state and want to take what we have learned to make a difference across the country," co-founder Mandy Curry said in the news release. "The best part of this challenge is that we won't spend two days talking about the issues. We get to spend two days creating a solution. Having entrepreneurs, web designers, and technology experts around the table working on a common solution is incredibly exciting."
Two winnings teams will be selected from the challenge to then take the stage at the summit to present their work to an audience of 1,000 industry leaders, with one team winning an audience choice award. The summit concludes with a keynote presentation by First Lady Michelle Obama.
Healthy Kids Inc. is an online meal planner built on the premise of helping families incorporate work, kids, and healthy eating, according to the news release. The Currys live in Hurricane. Mandy Curry sits on numerous boards throughout the state, spearheads a statewide outreach project called "Healthy Kids, Healthy WV," speaks to classrooms throughout the state about healthy eating, and assists with kids cooking classes at Huntington's Kitchen. She is also a blogger and contributor to eHow.com.

Knives, swords, jewelry stolen from Arizona pirate ship
PRESCOTT, Ariz. -- Authorities in northern Arizona are looking to recover items plundered from a pirate ship display in Prescott.
Yavapai County sheriff's officials say numerous knives, swords and jewelry were stolen after thieves forced entry into the ship's interior.
The homebuilt display is used by the victim's family and Prescott-area schoolchildren who occasionally tour the vessel.
Among the items stolen is a small wooden box from Spain that was filled with old European coins.
"I did travel to Spain and I bought the coins there," said the ship's owner, Mike Shepard.
Other items missing are a silver Marine sword with an engraved blade and black scabbard, a U.S. Cavalry sword with silver scabbard and gold citation cord attached and a 1953 Japanese 1,000 yen paper bill.
Shepard said there was other things stolen, such as World War II memorabilia and imported knives.
Shepard said the pirate ship was the result of a tree house that got way out of hand.
"We got very carried away and very soon there was a pirate ship there," he said of the 20-year-old ship.
Sheriff's officials said Thursday that they don't have any suspects in the theft yet.

THE manufacturer of the Taser stun gun is sparking new controversy with the commercial launch of a long-range version that can be fired from a 12-bore shotgun.
Government-funded tests on initial versions of the new Extended Range Electronic Projectile (XREP) have revealed possible health risks to people on the receiving end, New Scientist has learned. The manufacturer, Taser International of Scottsdale, Arizona, says the issue has been addressed in redesigned devices, but these have yet to be independently tested.
Unlike the current Taser X26, which fires darts attached to short wires, the XREP is wire-free. Its projectile, the size of a shotgun cartridge, is designed to pierce the target's skin and contains battery-powered circuits that deliver a debilitating shock. It has a range of 20 metres or more, compared with 5 metres for previous Tasers.

Has Justin Bieber snagged himself a super hot supermodel cougar? I'm hearing whispers straight from Cannes that his mission to hook up with as many gorgeous ladies as he could actually worked in his favor… rumor has it that the Biebs went home with 32-year-old Brazilian Victoria's Secret Angel Adriana Lima. Let's not forget she's a mother of two.
"Justin pursued her hard," a snitch told Us Weekly. The two were spotted talking non-stop at a private party and leaving together at 5 am. Honestly, what was AL thinking? She already has two kids, why bring another one into her life?
"He had fun with Adriana," added a source close to JB. "[But] it won't turn into anything serious."
I still find this story very hard to believe… don't you, darlings? Adriana seems like a much classier lady than that. Although, I guess anything Cannes happen under the magic of the French Riviera. XOXO

The Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office will not be among the county offices to move into the new three-story building that will replace the Courthouse Annex in Shalimar.
Instead, county commissioners have agreed to build a 10,000-square-foot facility onto the Sheriff's Office's existing administration building on Second Street in Shalimar. The new building —expected to cost an estimated $1.5 million — would pull civil processing, warrants and central communications divisions from their current location at the annex.
County Commission Chairman Don Amunds said the move will save the county money because the Sheriff's Office would have needed 18,000 square feet if it remained at the annex.
"It also helps from a management standpoint, as far as having all your people in the same place," Amunds said.
The new building also will house the Sheriff's Office's investigative unit and allow the agency to eliminate $126,000 a year in rent.
"It's a good thing for us and for the county," Sheriff Larry Ashley said. "It helps us consolidate our operations and it's just more efficient."
In the coming weeks, commissioners are expected to get more detailed cost estimates and take a final vote on the plan.
"It's looking favorable from a cost issue," County Commissioner Dave Parisot said. "But before it's a final decision, we have to see just what the numbers are."
The board also is expected to finalize which county offices will be housed at the new administration building after the annex is demolished. Those offices include the supervisor of elections, county administrator, information technology, property appraiser, tax collector and code enforcement.

Family Vacations to Bloomington, Indiana
|Lake Monroe, Bloomington (courtesy, Bloomington CVB)
Far from the expected flat expanses of the Midwest, Bloomington is set in the rolling hills of south-central Indiana. The 40,000-student Indiana University campus adds cultural diversity, arts, and activities to Bloomington's family- friendly style.
Quarries in Bloomington and the surrounding area produced limestone used in numerous famous buildings, including the Indiana State Capitol building and the Pentagon. Walk around the city's historic 11-block downtown as well as the "Old Crescent" in the heart of the IU campus to see buildings constructed from this local material. IU even has a limestone statute of Donald Duck-like figure.
While on campus, visit the Indiana University Art Museum. Designed by world-renowned architect I.M. Pei, it houses more than 30,000 pieces of art from ancient gold jewelry to African masks and Impressionist paintings. The Mathers Museum of World Culture houses thousands of items from around the world, including one of the country's largest collections of musical instruments and a Children's Gallery where little ones can color, try origami, and discover other cultures through activity-based learning. The IU Jacobs School of Music Summer Music Festival, mid-June through mid-August, features outdoor bands, chamber groups, and Gilbert and Sullivan musicals; many performances are free. You can also get day passes for IU's Student Recreational Sports Center (which includes the Aquatic Center, ping-pong tables, and an outdoor pool during summer months). The facilities have varying rules on participation and parental supervision.
At the Wonderlab Museum of Science, Health and Technology, kids climb a two-story grapevine of leaf-shaped pads held aloft by five miles of aircraft cable to learn about perspective, planning, and spatial problem-solving. The littlest climbers, ages six and younger, tackle a low-level treehouse in the Discovery Garden that features a hexagonal crawl-through kaleidoscope.
The state's largest lake and a favorite nesting spot for bald eagles, Lake Monroe, is only ten miles southeast of Bloomington. Surrounded by thousands of acres of forest, the 10,750-acre lake offers swimming, boating, and fishing. Paddlers can go on a guided tour of the wetlands with Pangea Kayak Ecotours to get up close to soaring eagles and discover areas only accessible by paddle-power.
The northern end of the 200,000-acre Hoosier National Forest, with 230 miles of hiking and biking trails and numerous lakes, borders Lake Monroe. The forest's Hardin Ridge Recreation Area has camping facilities, trails, a boat launch, and swimming, all just 45 minutes southeast of Bloomington.
Tip: Call 1.866.IU.SPORTS (toll-free) for tickets to Indiana University athletic events.
Recommended Side Trips: Indianapolis, Louisville (Kentucky), Lexington (Kentucky)

A great tip for your home business is to start off by determining what your bottom line for income needs to be. You need to know how much money you have to make, in order to keep the business going and eventually, turn a profit. Midlife Career Changes Loss If you do not know this, then you will not be able to set your financial goals. Think about how you are going to handle your business and if you can. When you first start out it's easier and less expensive to run it yourself. You should ask yourself if you can handle all the responsibilities on your own before diving into starting your own business. Do not underestimate the importance of filling out a complete business plan for your home business. An organized, written business plan can highlight possible problem areas as well as strengths, competitive insight, and important financial statistics and information. This step may be time-consuming, but it is an invaluable tool for viewing your information in a clear, organized format. A great tip for your home business is to make sure that the product you are dealing with matches the moral standards of yourself and of your peers. This is important because you want to be able to be proud of what you do, as well as confide in those closest to you if needed.
Don't start a home business on a topic that you know nothing or very little about. Running a company is not the proper time to start learning about that industry. You should have an intimate knowledge of the subject before you even think about taking out a loan or investing your own money. One of the reasons why many people decide to become involved in home business is so that they have more time to spend with their kids. However, as their business grows, they also easily find themselves in situations where their kids impede their ability to work effectively. Just because it is a home business however does not mean that a nanny, babysitter or daycare center is out of the question. Don't ignore these resources just because of the fact that it is a home business! It is important to get business cards made for your business. It is possible to get the business cards made for free if you do some research online. The customers will not know that they are free and many of the free cards are still made by professionals. Follow Up Interview Letters Or Email It is important to make sure that the cards contain all of the pertinent contact information for the business. A great tip for your home business is to consider advertising by means of fliers or postcards. This is a great way to reach people that might not have seen your other advertisements, and also a good way to get your name out there. Look for deals provided by local shipping companies.If you are looking for a nontraditional means of supporting yourself and your family, a home business may be your single best option. As you research the process of starting your business, remember the tips and tricks that you have just read and look for ways to turn these principles into profit. http://patrickbeiw.livejournal.com/1104.html

Each of us is responsible for our own pleasure. Blaming your partner isn't going to get you very far. Knowing your own body and the sexual stimuli you desire is of the utmost importance. But there is another thing a woman can do to advocate for her sexual focus and presence. It will increase the blood flow to her extremities (think clitoris, G-spot and pelvic area) and help her focus her mind on sexual turn-on and the stimulus she is receiving. That 'thing' is breathing… Continue reading

Understanding CZ-52 Markings
An Overview of CZ-52 Markings
About Those Punch Marks or "Accuracy Dots"....
In 1989 R.J. Berger published the book Know Your Czechoslovakian Pistols (Blacksmith Corp, Library of Congress Catalog Number 89018451), in which he claimed:
In the late 1970s many vz52 pistols were found to be worn. A refurbishing program was initiated, and it included the following:
However, a discussion on Tuco's Forum on 2-3 June 1998 presented the following e-mail from the Deputy Director of the privatized Czech arsenal. The director's name was redacted in the original. The following was in response to a question about these punch marks indicating results of an accuracy test. Note that it makes no mention of such a test:
Kirby Sanders
Dear Sir,
Thank you for your mail. We are very pleased to answer your questions.
Armorer's stamps:
This pistol is of army origin which were at the Czech armament.
1 - right side of the pistol. The frame over the slide.
a/ mark VOP or VOZ is an abgreviation of a military repair service company of firm. These marks are in a circle or in an oval.
b/ two crossed swords with two numbers. This is a military take over and the year of the take over is mentioned there. Barrel at the space at slide
c/ circle with marked letter T that is a military testing mark.
d/ production number
e/ mark of the government test with 2 numbers of the year of the test.
2- left side of the pistol.
a/ production number and a code of a factory for example - rid for military arms. The civil arms were marked - eské zbrojovka strakonice.
b/ number of test ocument of the government test and testing mark.
If there is a round circle with a number on the pistol's frame or on the slide this is a personal mark of the controller
What's the meaning of the "OTK" marking on CZ-52 accessories?
The short answer: it means that the item was manufactured to military specifications. In Czech, and coincidentally in Russian, OTK is like American MIL-STD. At right you see an example of it inside the lid of a case for a cleaning kit for a Soviet Mosin-Nagant rifle.
In more detail...
The handy reference Словарь Сокращений Русского Языка ("Slovar' Sokrashcheniy Russkovo Yazyka" or "Dictionary of Abbreviations of the Russian Language") lists two abbreviations for Russian "OTK". Those three letters happen to be the same in the Cyrillic alphabet used in Russian and the Latin alphabet used in Czech and English.
At least in Russian, a Slavic language fairly similar to Czech, "OTK" can refer to the following two acronyms, the second of which seems far more relevant here:
Working backward with the aid of an English-Czech pocket dictionary and an overview of Czech declension of nouns and adjectives, the phrase "Department of Technical Control" would be something like "Oddĕliní Technického Kontrolovatu" in Czech — OTK.
Here is another example, from a "Kozak 6" holster bearing the Czech Army mark of crossed swords. "OTK FRANEK" — "Franek" may be the name or location of the factory that produced this holster with carrying spaces for a spare magazine, a cleaning rod, and a lanyard.

This year, Rwanda Environment Management Authority (REMA) believes that among other measures in protecting the environment, joining hands with other institutions will further strengthen its efforts in achieving its mission.
This aims at not only engaging the public but many other players, including private and public institutions.
Rwanda Revenue Authority, Rwanda Bureau of Standards, Kigali City and the Ministry of Local Government are the key partners in REMA's latest campaign.
"What we want is for the public to realise and take action against any means through which the environment can be affected. This year, we are also devising means through which we can fight against importation, use and sale of plastic bags," said Clarisse Kamera, the communication and public relations officer at REMA.
In 2004, the government banned the importation, manufacturing and use of polythene bags after various studies indicated that they are hazardous to the environment. However, in various retail shops, including supermarkets, there are still small white polythene bags which shop attendants use secretly to pack items.
"In Rwanda, we are not manufacturing these bags and we are sure that they are still being sneaked into the country from our neighbours; that is why we are putting more efforts to ensure that strict measures are put in place at our entry points," she said.
At the entry points, customs officers under RRA are charged with the responsibility to enforce the ban. According to the law, anyone found illegally importing, using or selling polythene bags is liable to a sentence of between 6 to 12 months or a fine ranging between Rwf 100,00 to 500,000 or both.
Dr. Rose Mukankomeje, the director general of REMA, during the recent Town Hall meeting that brought together stakeholders in the new campaign, said that the public should take action in the fight based on the effects polythene bags cause to the social well being of the citizens.
With effect from yesterday's community work, locally known as Umuganda, local leaders, through the Ministry of Local Government, are required to educate and encourage the public to respect the ban.

The Blog
Polling for Islam
The Council on American Islamic Relations has a poll on its website. But only when people answer the way they want them to.
1:30 PM, Apr 16, 2002 • By JONATHAN V. LAST
THE COUNCIL ON AMERICAN ISLAMIC RELATIONS had a poll on its website earlier this week. The query put to viewers was whether or not Ariel Sharon should be tried from war crimes. As you can imagine, the folks at CAIR regard this as an open and shut question.
On Monday night at 10:48 P.M., Glenn Reynolds noted the poll on his blog, Instapundit. He linked to the CAIR site and noted that 513 votes had been collected and that the numbers were running against the Israeli PM--94 percent of the respondents wanted him tried for war crimes.
And then the power of the blogosphere kicked in. By 6:50 A.M. on Tuesday, 11,951 votes had registered on CAIR's poll. And now 94 percent of the votes were against trying Sharon for war crimes. Reynolds wryly noted, "I'm predicting a sudden onset of 'technical problems' in an hour or two, but I could be wrong."
He wasn't. A few hours later, the CAIR poll actually lost votes, going from more than 13,000 votes to 2,083 votes. And the results changed accordingly. From 94 percent saying "No," the new vote total had 93 percent saying "Yes."
And then, a few minutes after that, the poll disappeared from CAIR's site altogether.
Why? A CAIR spokeswoman explained that "Last night someone hacked into the site, and there was something like 11,000 entries from 1 computer." The webmaster, she continued, had purged all but one of those duplicate entries and would soon re-post the poll.
But a message posted on the CAIR site gave a grimmer accounting:
"CAIR is investigating several nefarious attempts by users trying to manipulate the votes. Thank you for your patience while we isolate and correct the problem. Please be advised that such systems that help in weighing public opinion should not be misused."
No matter which one is true--my guess is neither--their response is preposterous. No one who wants to "weigh public opinion" uses a website poll. At best, these polls are like parlor games--a way for the regular devotees of a site to get to know one another better, at worst they are tools for demagoguing--something CAIR is expert at. In fact CAIR has an entire section of their website devoted to "Action Alerts" where they inform their viewers to mass e-mail people who say things they find objectionable. They give out e-mail addresses and telephone numbers and encourage people to swamp elected officials and members of the media.
In its mission statement CAIR says that they are "dedicated to presenting an Islamic perspective on issues of importance to the American public." And with their little poll fiasco, they've certainly given us all a lesson in the "Islamic perspective."
Like Yasser Arafat, the folks at CAIR are happy to bully others with loud protests against discrimination and humiliations. Like the Saudis, they're intolerant of dissenting viewpoints. Like the Taliban, they're willing to create an "official" version of the truth to bury opinions and beliefs they don't like. And just like the Arab Muslims who believe the Mossad was behind September 11, they're nestled deep in conspiracy theories.
The Islamic perspective indeed.

Flirting with Disaster out January 27th!
This book is full of secrets, hot cabin sex, and a heroine who makes the hero blush!
There's no hiding from sizzling chemistry…
Artist Isabelle West has good reasons for preferring a solitary life. Tucked away in a cabin in the woods, she has everything she needs…except a red-hot love life. That is, until a hard-bodied US marshal threatens to unearth secrets she's spent years protecting. But giving in to the sparks flying between them can only lead to one thing…disaster.
Tom Duncan lives by the letter of the law. But no one has tempted him—or confused him—more than free-spirited Isabelle, who arouses his suspicion and his desire. As their connection grows, and their nights get hotter, they find their wild attraction might shake everything he stands for—and expose everything she has to hide.
Bonus Girls' Night Out novella, Fanning the Flames, included!

Read the first chapter here!
Publishers Weekly says:
Flirting with Disaster "proves that it's possible to thrive, survive, and find love without being dependent on another person."
RT Bookreviews says:
"Dahl's romances succeed because she is fearless in creating quirky, touchingly unique characters whose love affairs are anything but predictable."
The first book in the Jackson: Girls' Night Out series is still in stores!
A sexy librarian, one intimidating biker dude, and the whole town's attention...that's Looking for Trouble!
A good reason to be bad...
Librarian Sophie Heyer has walked the straight and narrow her entire life to make up for her mother's mistakes. But in tiny Jackson Hole, Wyoming, juicy gossip doesn't just fade away. Falling hard for the sexiest biker who's ever ridden into town would undo everything she's worked for. And to add insult to injury, the alluring stranger is none other than Alex Bishop—the son of the man Sophie's mother abandoned her family for. He may be temptation on wheels, but Sophie's not looking for trouble!
RT Book Reviews says,
"Wonderfully unconventional and deliciously sultry... Dahl slowly strips away layers of her characters' facades, showing the fears, the pain and the dark memories that drive them and the desires that bind them together."

Linking policy
I received the following message today from the moderator of the forum:
Hello,I have seen others suggest that there is a "no linking" policy on this forum - but this is the first I have seen anything about it. I am guessing others have gotten this message as well?
Now, it is the choice of the forum to allow or disallow whatever they want - but I am pretty sure that noone on this forum would suggest that I have placed any advertisements. If I placed a link, it was to something relevant to a conversation. Guidance, or a place to purchase an item that someone needed (with which I had no affiliation)
This forum is only as good as the members and the conversation that is allowed. Linking to relevant content - which for this topic is often going to have some commercial context - is part and parcel of internet forums. Standard operating procedure.
I wanted to throw this out there for discussion. Seems to me that the forum runs fine and that linking is not an issue. The members can police the spammers with that little triangle icon. Oversight like this feels superfluous.
Re: Linking policy
It appears to be for any external link at all. I was banned for a while because I inadvertently posted a couple, plus my sig (like yours) contained an external link. Commercial or not, that is the policy and it appears to be enforced.
Re: Linking policy
It seems to me to be randomly enforced. I agree that they can set whatever policy they want - but I think discussion of how reasonable or useful a policy this is should be open for conversation.
I don't think anyone on this forum would say you are a spammer or that you post ads. What purpose is served by banning one of the most respected members on the forum?
Edit: Wait, scratch that comment about the linking policy. Unless I am missing it somewhere else, the forum guidelines are quite brief and do not prohibit linking. They just state "5. Please don't promote any type of commercial venture or product."
So someone with moderator function interpreting links as commercial promotion, which is not at all productive.
Re: Linking policy
And yet Eatingmorefood posts spam regularly and it never gets deleted. :confused:
Maybe hes one of them?
Re: Linking policy
Eatingmorefood is blatant and self serving adds nothing to the discussion and the general knowledge of the forum. I to have been guilty of adding a link to a product or knowledge of a product to someone else on this forum. And have seen a few more quite innocent ones. Blatant crap like eatmorefood should be real target.
Regards dave
Re: Linking policy
Re: Linking policy
I have noticed the we have some new Moderators. I typically don't have a problem with moderators because the do serve an important service to keeping things running smoothly and friendly like. What I'm not real comfortable with is having the moderators so anonymous. Most places the moderator is the owner of the site or trusted long term members that take on the responsibility. The new moderators here have very low post counts yet post like they have been here all along and not like a new hire. It would have been nice for them to introduce themselves. I myself find it easier to accept corrections from people that I know, trust and respect. For example, I would follow instructions from a state policeman without resistance, but some rent a cop will not have it so easy. just my two cents...with (no links)
Re: Linking policy
As mentioned to users in our forum, we ask users to please be mindful of links that are posted. Unfortunately, our system has been infiltrated a few times causing glitches that have affected moderation.
We ban users who repeatedly violate any of our guidelines. For example, "Eatingmorefood" was reported and has been reprimanded for advertisements.
The forum was created for users to communicate with each other and should be a pleasant environment for all. If posted links follow our guidelines, members are more than welcome to share information with each other.
We apologize if there was any miscommunication, and hope this clarifies any confusion. We appreciate your comments and hope you continue to enjoy our wonderful community.
Thank you.
Re: Linking policy
Hello Moderator...your post is quite polite, cold, professional, political. But your lack of personality makes me feel like big brother is spying on us and not a part of the community. The warden, zoo keeper....pay no attention to the man behind the curtain...the cops on the other side of the two way mirror is how I'm feeling. I just put tape over my web cam lens because I'm not sure your if looking in.
But anyway thank you for allowing me to be a part of this wonderful community...when is feeding time?
thanks, ( signed) just one of the critters in the zoo.
Re: Linking policy
Hi Faithful,
Sigh...I've been hacked! Sometimes these machines have a mind of their own! There is a person behind this computer screen who really enjoys everyone's posts.
As I said before, we really want everyone to enjoy the forum and to continue posting to each other. Your ideas and ovens are fantastic. Keep up the good work!
We really hate to be so restrictive with links but our system was severely hacked last year and it caused many glitches that took some time to fix.
Always feel free to contact us with opinions, comments, and pictures of your ovens and food. The holidays are just around the corner and we're looking forward to the yummy recipes we receive every year...
Happy cooking!
The man in the yellow hat ;)

Microsoft Surface Pro 2 Apple faces real competition
Posted on 9-Dec-2013 08:43
Bill Bennett
Filed under:
Bill Bennett
It may still have a small market share, but Apple dominates the hardware market like no other company in history. Like it or not, the Californian company is the top brand in smartphones, tablets and PCs. It is 'the one to beat'.
Now, for the first time this decade, Apple faces a real competitor.
Surface 2
and Surface Pro 2 devices offer a clear, credible alternative to the iPad – at least in the business market.
Microsoft Surface 2 Pro comes from another place, does different things
Microsoft's Surface range is not a direct iPad replacement. It is an alternative path from laptops to a more mobile feature. For the many businesses it represents a smoother, more easily managed path from PC technology.
While Apple's tablets do 80 percent of the tasks you might have previously done on a laptop, Microsoft's Surface 2 does closer to 90 percent of those tasks. The Surface Pro 2 brings that to 100 percent. There's little a Surface Pro 2 can't do, that, say, an UltraBook can.
To all intents and purposes, the Surface Pro 2 is as much a reboot of the laptop and a reinvention of the tablet.
Where the Surface Pro 2 scores
It may be a tablet, but the Microsoft Surface Pro 2 has a Windows computer pedigree. That makes it an ideal choice for anyone who needs to run Microsoft software – particularly for people who run multiple Windows applications.
Windows 8 is quite different from Windows 7, but most users will quickly adjust to the new operating system and its user interface.
Let's put aside questions of whether moving to a new OS makes sense. For most users coming from Windows PCs, there's less of an adjustment moving to a Surface Pro 2 than moving to, say, iOS or Android.
Disrupting the PC model
Although it has a Windows pedigree and moving from a PC isn't disruptive, the Surface Pro 2 manages to disrupt the laptop and tablet markets.
There are optional docking stations adding additional input and output ports. You can connect to a large screen monitor and a BlueTooth keyboard. In other words, you can replace an entire traditional desktop system with something that also functions as a tablet. In other words it is a single device that can be a desktop, laptop or tablet. That's a powerful draw card for businesses.
Don't underestimate how much company CIOs and technology professionals will prefer spending money on something that takes users to the next level of mobility while also slotting right in to existing systems.
My Surface Pro 2 experience
As a journalist, I often have to work on the move. The Surface Pro 2 is lighter and at least as portable as any UltraBook. The 10.6 inch touch screen compares with the displays on smaller UltraBooks. For simple tasks like writing or number-crunching while surfing the web and dealing with incoming messages, it's more than enough to get the job done.
You have to spend extra to buy a keyboard for the Surface Pro 2, the only sane choice is Microsoft's Type Cover 2, which is close to the kind of keyboard you see on UltraBooks. It sounds like a trivial matter, but the two position kick-stand which props up the tablet on a desk is a really smart addition to the tablet format.
While Windows 8 (or 8.1) is an acquired taste on conventional computers, it makes sense on the Surface Pro 2. It's as if the software was designed to work on this hardware.
What's not so hot?
The Surface Pro 2 works as a tablet, but I'd rate it a way behind the iPad Air in the pure tablet stakes. At 900g it's heavy and uncomfortable for extended hand-held sessions. I also find the 16:9 screen format works fine on a laptop, but isn't so nice on a tablet. You may feel otherwise
Although the Surface Pro 2 can, in theory, run most Windows apps, they don't always run like well-designed tablet apps. And the tablet app store is relatively skinny. You'll find replacements for all your favourite apps there, but be prepared for compromises.
Sometimes it feels buggy. Apps can crash and there's inconsistency about the way things work, a gesture that works in one app might do something different elsewhere.
Surface Pro 2 is expensive
especially when compared with the Surface 2. You can even argue it's expensive when compared with Apple kit.
Microsoft hasn't pitched its tablet as a head-on competitor with Apple's iPad. The company is aiming at a different target with a different approach to mobile computing. But it is the first serious competition Apple has faced since it launched the first iPad.

The Visual Du Jour – GOOOOOOAAAAL
January 10, 2013 by SocProf and tagged Dataviz, Sports
I love soccer, or as we Europeans call it, football. I also like network visualizations. So, how can I not love this network visualization of Ballon D'Or votes. If you don't know what the Ballon D'Or is, check this out.
Quick explanation:
"The above visualization shows the network of votes of the Ballon d'Or 2012. Voters and voted for players make up the 524 nodes of the graph. Node size is based on indegree. The 1513 edges are based on the given votes, with each of the voters having three votes: 1st place 5 points (thickest line), 2nd place 3 points, and 3rd place 1 point (thinnest line). Node color indicates either being a captain (red), coach (violet), journalist (blue), or player who did not vote (green)."
There really seems to be two players and everybody else: Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo just dominates the whole thing.

SICK of searching for a city parking spot? Let your phone do the work. An app can automatically determine when its user has parked, and can alert others when the spot comes open again, all without manual input.
Built by Wen-Yuah Shih and Kun-Chan Lan of National Cheng Kung University in Tainan City, Taiwan, the app uses a phone's accelerometer to recognise when a motorist is driving, when the car stops, and when they get out of the car and start walking – inferring from this sequence that they have parked. The GPS position of the parking spot is then broadcast to other users of the app and marked as "occupied" on their street map (Expert Systems with Applications, doi.org/pjd).
The app uses the phone's compass to note a driver's walking path and waits for them to return in the direction of the parking space. If the user is then sensed moving away from the spot at driving speed the app broadcasts a "parking spot empty" message.
The app could also be programmed to predict when a driver is heading back to their car and send out notice that a parking space is about to become free. This could lead to a system in which fees for paid parking spots can be settled in advance, the researchers suggest.

Franco Di Santo's double earned Wigan a fine 2-0 Barclays Premier League victory at the DW Stadium as QPR new boy Joey Barton watched from the stands.
Di Santo smashed home a right-foot effort five minutes before the break and put the result beyond doubt after 66 minutes with a looping, deflected effort over Paddy Kenny.
Rangers had their chances with Adel Taarabt slamming a long-range effort against the post when the game was goalless, and repeating the feat deep in first-half injury time.
