I have been hearing about Orgran gluten-free products for a couple of years, but had never had the opportunity to sample any of them. I was thrilled to receive some complimentary samples of their Easy Bake Bread mix, pasta, bread crumbs & self-rising flour. Here is some information about Orgran:
In today's society, consumers are becoming increasingly aware of consuming a diet that is healthy, nutritious and individual to their needs. Orgran products have been developed with your well being in mind and are based on only natural ingredients for people who demand a healthier lifestyle.
All Orgran products are Gluten FREE, Wheat FREE, Dairy FREE, Egg FREE, Yeast FREE, GMO FREE, Vegan and all natural. For people on special diets it is an easy and convenient choice without having to look through complex ingredient listings. Look out for the easy to read tick box to assist in your choice.
Orgran – The leader and trusted name in natural nutrition
Enjoyed around the world, Orgran products are endorsed by health practitioners and are available in over 50 countries.
With over 70 gluten free products to choose from such as our range of award winning pasta varieties and innovative products such as gluten free gluten (GfG) or 'No EGG' egg replacer, you can guarantee balance and variety in your diet.
First, I made the Easy Bake Bread Mix. Boy, the title fits this product to a "T".
What Orgran has to say about their bread mix:
Easy Bake Gluten Free Bread!!!! The Orgran Gluten Free Bread Mix is a convenient and versatile bread mix, which has revolutionized the way gluten free bread tastes!! The Orgran Bread Mix does not contain dairy products or cane sugar and you do not need to use eggs to produce a full crusty loaf that you can slice, freeze, toast and enjoy in the same way as ordinary wheat based bread. For variations, just add sultanas, dried fruit or nuts. Gluten Free Bread never tasted so GOOD!!!
I had this bread in the oven in less than 10 minutes! The bread is:
- Wheat Free
- Gluten-free
- Dairy, lactose & casein free
- Egg free
- Yeast free
- GMO free
- Cholesterol free
- vegan
Jon enjoyed this bread for his PB & J sandwiches, as well as for turkey & cheese sandwiches. He liked the texture, but said it was a little bland. I told him that this was a "white" bread. He has always eaten wheat or whole grain (pre-gf) or Pamela's since going gluten-free, which uses different grains. I also made "pizza bread" out of this for him. I toasted the bread, smeared on Prego Three Cheese Pasta sauce & then topped with mozzarella & parmesan. Jon really enjoyed that.
Next up was the Multigrain Pasta with Quinoa. I used this pasta as the base for our "Spaghetti Dinner" one night. The pasta cooked up quickly – in about 8 minutes. The pasta looked just like regular, durum wheat semolina pasta; it wasn't darker like the brown rice pasta.
The kids loved this! Even Hannah gobbled this up. I know that I have a dinner that will please the whole family when I make pasta!
I still have to sample the Self-Rising Flour & Bread Crumbs, which I hope to do here soon. I will make sure to update and review once I do.
Want to purchase Orgran products? You can find some of them on Amazon here. I have also seen many of the products in my local health food store & mainstream grocery store. Don't forget you can find Organ on Facebook, too. You can become a fan here.

Facebook's apps fund gets rebranded; will take equity stake in startups
Facebook's app funding program–fbFund–has gotten a new name and new terms for its participants. Dubbed fbFUND REV, the program is now a full-fledged startup incubator; participants will get roughly $25,000 and ten weeks of coaching at Facebook's Palo Alto headquarters, and the fund will take between a one and five percent equity stake in each one.
The investments will be made as convertible notes, with the fund getting a discount on future priced rounds (via TechCrunch). Founders Fund and Facebook backer Accel Partners are running the program, with Founders Fund's Dave McClure at the helm.
Eighteen new app developers and two non-profits will participate in the first fbFUND REV session this summer (the non-profits won't get an actual investment, but will have all their expenses paid). Participants include Frintro, a friend introduction tool; Gameyola, a social commerce platform; and a peer-to-peer microlending service called Vittana, among others.

Senate Passes Bill to Prevent Drug Dealers From Preying on Children
The New York State Senate today passed legislation to increase penalties for drug dealers who sell to children. The bill (S988A), sponsored by Senator Jack Martins (R-C-I, Mineola), strengthens the felony charges for the sale of drugs by an adult to a child under the age of 14.
"Drugs destroy lives, and the victims of drug abuse are getting younger and younger," said Senator Martins. "Drug use among children, especially heroin, is a growing epidemic on Long Island. Criminals who target young children and poison them with heroin and other controlled substances deserve tougher penalties. This legislation will give law enforcement another tool to keep these drug dealers off the streets and behind bars where they belong.
Recent data has shown an increase in drug use, especially opiate-based substances, by young adults and teenagers. There has also been a rise in overdose cases and overdose deaths. Many of these youngsters start experimenting in their teenage years with addicting prescription drugs and opiate-based prescription drugs.
A January 25, 2014, Newsday article referenced the rise in heroin use in the region, especially among youth. One Suffolk County drug treatment official referenced a recent incident where a 13-year-old girl was treated for a heroin addiction, which began after the 8th-grader had used MDMA and cocaine.
Under current law, anyone over the age of 21 who sells a controlled substance to a minor under the age of 17 can be charged with a class B felony. However, the law does not contain an enhanced penalty for selling a controlled substance to younger children. The bill passed today creates the new crime of criminal sale of a controlled substance to a child in the first degree. Adults over the age 18 who sell a controlled substance to a minor under the age of 14 would be charged with a class A-II felony.
The bill will be sent to the Assembly.

In my summer 2012 course, EDT 6060 – Trends and Future of Technology in Education, I tried for the very first time incorporating a required Twitter chat exercise into the weekly activities. My goal in doing so was to expand the discussion beyond the scope of the typical Blackboard discussion space and to encourage my students to begin engaging in conversations with others within the field. Since we were looking at current events within the field of educational technology, this was the perfect course to incorporate such an activity on Twitter given the plethora of resources and fantastic ongoing conversations that take place on Twitter.
At the conclusion of the course, my students reflected on their learning experiences in the course. Here are a few quotes from my students concerning the Twitter chats that I wanted to share here in support of these sort of social networking activities within the online learning environment:
Even if a teacher/colleague has not yet embraced technology, they should still try to read journal articles either in print or online to stay breadth of the current technologies being offered. Perhaps one of those articles will spark an interest – as it is that spark that will move us into action. I think that people are scared by Twitter or have not experienced it enough to know that it is a way to view up to date information on topics of interest. I would bet that many teacher view Twitter like they view Facebook, as I was one of those in the past. All it takes is one person to force the teachers to use Twitter and they will start to see the benefits. And, I would like to say thank you Dr. J. for forcing me to Twitter, as I love it!
I never thought Twitter could be used in such a professional way for my job! I am so thankful to add this skill to my ways to keep up with new and changing educational advances!
I feel really proud of the progress that I've made (using Twitter in this course), but there's a whole world on Twitter to explore and learn more about edtech. The articles are fascinating!
Twitter is awesome! I will definitely be checking it often and am going to let staff know of its benefits next year.
For anyone interested, below are the instructions for the Twitter chat assignments that I included in my course syllabus. You're welcome to make use of these instructions or revise for your specific needs. If you find this idea helpful and/or if you plan to try in your own teaching, leave me a comment and let me know!
Twitter Resource Sharing Chat Instructions
In addition to engaging in discussion with classmates via the discussion board in Blackboard, you will share resources and engage with the broader educational community regarding current trends and future of technology in education on Twitter. In doing so, you will continue to expand your perspective beyond the "walls of our course" on the issues we'll be exploring together.personal learning network and expand your If you haven't already setup a free Twitter account in a previous class, please do so and be prepared to "tweet" using it throughout the course. For more information on getting started with Twitter, see https://sites.google.com/site/twitterinedu
Each week, you are expected to post a minimum of 5 tweets per week using both hashtags #edt6060 and #edtechtrends (only tweets that include both hashtags will be considered as intended for this class chat via Twitter).
- At least one tweet must have a link to an online resource regarding current technology trends of future of educational technology that hasn't already been shared by your instructor or classmates thus far in the course
- At least one tweet must have a link to an online resource related to the topic(s) from the required reading(s) for the week that hasn't already been shared by your instructor of classmates thus far in the course.
- At least one tweet must be a public reply to a fellow classmate (beginning your tweet @username of the Twitter user you are responding to).
- At least one tweet must be a public reply or mention to someone else not a member of the class (including somewhere in your tweet @username of the Twitter user you are responding to or mentioning).
- One tweet may be a retweet (RT) of someone else
Using your preferred Twitter client, save searches of hashtags #edt6060 and #edtechtrends and follow the streams for each hashtag throughout the course.
Also, make an effort to follow at least one new educator on Twitter each week. For a directory of educators on Twitter, you may want to search Twitter directories such as wefollow.com, twellow.com, or tweetfind.com

Here are recommendations for those getting started teaching with Twitter:
- Setup an account for yourself and follow a few other educators. The first step is for you yourself to initially become comfortable with using Twitter and to learn from your own experience whether or not Twitter is right for you. After you setup a free account at twitter.com, then follow a few others. For starters, you may want to follow me at @jrhodee and my NIU colleagues @slrichter and @jeffminor. Other great places to find other Twitter users include directories like WeFollow.com or Twellow.com
- Use a Twitter app. While you can use Twitter from any web broswer, it is even easier to do so from a tablet or smart phone. If you have a mobile device, find an install a Twitter app and start using it. In the tools section below, links to recommended apps are shared.
- Try participating in a Twitter chat. As you begin following other educators, you may see mention of participating in a "twitter chat." This is simply a specified time during the week when individuals with similar interests engage in a chat on a specified topic using a chosen hashtag.
- Create a separate account for your class **optional**. If you'd like to keep course-specific tweets separate from your individual Twitter account, you can setup a separate Twitter account for your class. Examples include @wd1231 & @edt6030.
- Select a hashtag for your class and include it in your posts regarding the class. Select a unique hashtag and search Twitter to see if it is already in use. If not, then begin using it yourself to establish.
- Have your students who use Twitter follow you and use the designated hashtag in their course-related tweets. Include in your syllabus or other course information areas your Twitter username (or the Twitter username you've setup for your course) and remind students that they can follow you on Twitter.
- Set clear expectations for students on Twitter use in your course. Decide how you will use Twitter and then clearly communicate to students your expectations for their use of Twitter (if you require or simply make it an option) and let them know how/why you will use it.
- Post announcements, news, and other information items of interest using your selected hashtag. At a minimum, you can use Twitter to post news items for students.
- Set clear expectations for students on Twitter use in your course. Decide how you will use Twitter and then clearly communicate to students your expectations for their use of Twitter (if you require or simply make it an option) and let them know how/why you will use it.
- Create a list for each section and/or all students and add students to the list for easy sorting and viewing without following. If you prefer to not follow your students (personal preference), you can create a list and add all your students to your list. Once doing so, you'll be able to easily view all tweets for a class section.
- Save a search of your course hashtag for easy access. Once saving a search, you can easily then return to that search from within your preferred Twitter app on Twitter.com
- Follow your institution. See if your institution is on Twitter, and follow!
- Don't feel like you need to read all tweets from users your follow. Twitter is more like a stream than a pond…information just keeps flowing by constantly. Just dip in and dip out as you are able and enjoy!

Days 29-33: Lost Lake Lounge
Denver, CO
The road to Denver from Indianapolis was long and fairly uneventful. I've already blogged in the past about my 'love' for the states of Nebraska and Kansas, so I'm not even going to get into that. Stevie G had flown home the previous day, so the running joke of the 12 hour run was whether or not we forgot him at a rest stop, or if he was sleeping in, or the fact that he had nothing to say during our conversations…
We arrived in Denver on Sunday evening. Nate had tons of work to do, so he got a hotel room for the few days that we were going to be in town. The hotel was about a mile from where I stay when I live in Denver, so shortly after we got into town my friend Nate (not Steven Nathan! Don't get confused!) picked me up. The rest of the guys stayed around the hotel area for the night, and took advantage of some much needed downtime after the long drive from Indy.
I headed toward the downtown area because my friend told me that our Kempo (a martial art) instructor was in the hospital. Apparently, he had a blood clot close to his heart, but the doctors found it in time and he is expected to make a full recovery. After visiting him, we headed back to the apartment that I call home when I'm out there working.
For the last few years we have been on the road so much that I haven't really been able to settle down and have a place of my own, but it's worked out that I have been able to stay with friends and family in the interims. While Western Massachusetts is my hometown, I have a strong feeling that Denver is where I'll wind up. That being said, it always feels like coming home whenever I get back in the 303.
The next day, which was a Monday, the guys set up shop and did some office work while I headed to work a bathroom remodel with Nate (again, not Steve Nathan!). That evening Nate (yes, Steve Nathan!) had to run to Colorado Springs to meet with one of the bands that is signed to the label that he works for. Root played Zohan and spent the evening styling and dying Mochello's mohawk. After I was done work for the day I went back home and Nate (not Steve Nathan!) and I finally watched the second Hobbit movie that the two of us had been trying to see since it came out last December.
The next day, I got up early (well, early considering I was still on rock-n-roll time, which is being up until the middle of the night, then wake up at about 10am to drive to the next city…). I headed back to the bathroom remodel while the band continued their office work.
Because it was the week after Coachella, there was a lot going on in the Denver music scene this week, as many bands are stopping in Denver as they make their way back east from the California festival. One of those bands happened to be Arcade Fire. One of my friends is their drum tech, so Tuesday night I met some of the Arcade Fire peeps downtown to have some drinks and watch an NHL playoff game (they are all Canadian, after all). Once a last minute goal sealed the win for Montreal, everyone had to go back to their hotel, as they had a huge show at the Pepsi Center the next day and they were all exhausted from Coachella. I told them they better be prepared, because we had a show a mile away at the same time they did, and we were going to steal their whole crowd.
After everyone left I headed down to the Gothic theater, where Nate (yes, Steve Nathan), Root, and Mochello were at Sevendust's show. (Stevie G had flown in that afternoon, but he was spending time with some of his Denver friends up to the northwest of town.)
Sevendust is in the middle of an acoustic tour, which in all honesty, made it so that I had no idea what to expect from the show. Their typical sound is fairly aggressive, the thunder of hard rock permeating every note that the band creates, from drums, to vocals, to guitars. Their acoustic show, however, is a whole different animal. The acoustic show is really a semi-acoustic show, with the two guitarists playing acoustic guitars and the bass player plugged directly in to the sound board, but the drummer had a full drum kit and there was a keyboard player as well. I was honestly blown away by how good the band sounded, of how well the singer's voice fit in the stripped down sound, and also by the overall performance of the band. They kept things fun, in almost a vh1 storytellers fashion.
Nate (yes, Steve Nathan!) works with Sevendust's drummer, Morgan, so we had some of the best seats in the house, right up on a balcony side stage. I couldn't help but feel like we were Statler and Waldorf, just non heckling Statler and Waldorf's. After the show we met up with Morgan backstage and he told us their classic rock-n-roll stories, which involved everything from the extravagancies to the harsh realities of the business side of the music industry. We also met the rest of the band backstage, and they all seemed like genuinely nice people (and they liked my stache, so maybe I'm a little biased… Maybe). After leaving the show, the guys went back to their hotel and I went back to Nate's (not Steve Nathan's).
The next morning I went to work again while the guys did some more office work. They picked me up in the late afternoon and we headed uptown to get Stevie from his friend's place. Denver rush hour traffic is some of the worst in the country, so we ended up jumping off the 'expressway' and taking side roads most of the way.
After picking up Stevie, we headed down to the club. Open Air Stereo had a video shoot that night and they had the sound engineer with them, so we had to take some extra time to get the sound right in the room.
In Denver there's a burrito shop, Illegal Pete's, that has an amazing love for traveling musicians. If you're playing a show in Denver while you're on tour you can register for your band and crew to each receive free burrito in exchange for promoting their business to your fans. Traffic prevented us from having time to stop there, so we set off to find some dinner. Root and I found a pizza joint down the street from the club and decided to get a full pie because we didn't think that two slices each would be enough. When it arrived, we looked at each other quizzically. Apparently we had ordered a 26″ pizza. (For those versed in the Queens math, that's over two feet in diameter!) As hungry as we were, we still had plenty of leftovers (half a pie, to be exact!)
Once we were done eating we walked back to the club. Lost Lake Lounge is a smallish club, with the bar in a separate area from the main stage area. I don't really like when venues are set up that way, because it causes people to hang out at the bar as opposed to paying attention to the music that's going on in the other room.
It was cool that my friend Nate (not Steve Nathan!) finally was able to make it to a show. The last time we were in Denver he couldn't make it because a nail gun malfunction on the job site gave him a slight concussion. It was one of those things that finally connects the dots in life. When I'm on the road, I'll refer to working with, or things that happened with my friend Nate (not Steve Nathan!), and vice versa. Having those two divergencies intersect is a pretty cool thing.
After the show we decided to head out toward Salt Lake City without delay. The drive was going to be a long one, so we wanted to knock a few hours off the top. The previous few days were exhausting, so I climbed in my bunk to try and sleep. The bumpy roads prevented it though, and I wasn't able to fall asleep until a few hours later when we stopped for the night. It seemed as if once the engine was switched off, so was I. I passed out almost immediately.

Even if i click "Using Original" button, it still shows as thumbnail size when i publish the post. I was wondering if i can just show the whole size.
Need help? Check out our Support site, then
Is there any way i can post with original image size?
Leave the first option as "Using Thumbnail" but change the second option to "Linked to image." It's considered rude to post full size pics within your posts. Providing a link to the full size is a better method as that allows your visitors to choose which version they want to view.
Hope this helps,
Another way
You upload your image (not too big <90kb is better) and once uploaded you left click on the image to get the option menu.
- click image, select 'Use Original' (versus use thumbnail)
- click 'Send to Editor'
It works
To resize your picture in term of size or pixels, you can use for free IrfanView
Claire, I don't know why you're bringing up three month old posts but it does appear the the original poster did that and it did not work for them.

This trip is designed for those visiting Seward, Alaska who either want a private Ice Climbing tour, or want to up the ante set by our other climbing trips with more difficulty, further remoteness (via helicopter), longer exploration, pushing the limits, etc. I could go on and on.
This tour is by far the guide favorite as the climbs we are able to access with the helicopter take glacier Ice Climbing to a new level. Experience fathomless moulins that echo. Climb beside waterfalls plunging into the unknown void. Or be content to climb at a moderate level in a completely remote and breathtaking environment customized for you.
The tour starts in the Seward airport where we load the helicopter. After take-off, we fly over Resurrection Bay and head over dramatic mountain canyons before landing on a moraine near the alpine glacier. Depending on the ability levels of individual clients, we are able to choose from a wide variety of climbs. We can either stick to the moderate walls on the glacier's surface, or we can head out in search of breathtaking — and very deep – moulins to drop into. We try to spend roughly 4 hours on the ice, climbing almost the entire time. After we finish climbing, the helicopter meets the group, loads up, and heads off though the canyons back to Seward. We feel strongly that this trip offers up some of the best summer ice-climbing that Alaska can offer.
For this tour, we provide all the necessary equipment excluding your clothing and camera. Enjoy!
Permitted with the Chugach National Forest.
Season: May 25th-ish through September 8th
Booking this tour makes you eligible for a discounted Kayaking or Paddleboarding trip with legendary local company Liquid Adventures!

Updated Feb. 22, 2011 at 8:23 p.m.
Oil prices have shot past $100 a barrel on the New York Stock Exchange though prices at the gas pump have only inched up in Texas.
Across Victoria, gas prices are running about $3.09 per gallon for regular unleaded, about 10 cents higher than Houston and San Antonio, according to a random survey of gas prices.
In Houston, regular unleaded gasoline rose from $2.99 on Tuesday to $3.01 Wednesday. Regular unleaded prices increased seven cents over the past month, according to the Daily Fuel Gauge Report by AAA.
Prices have risen since last year when regular unleaded sold for $2.47, but are still lower than they were in July 2008 when regular unleaded rose to its highest recorded price of $3.96.
Regular unleaded rose to $3 in San Antonio, an increase of three cents.

Oral & Dental
Four out of every five people affected by BCCNS will develop aggressive tumors in their jaws. These keratocystic odontogenic tumors (KCOTs), previously known as odontogenic keratocysts (OKC) or jaw cysts, grow rapidly and are capable of disrupting the formation of new teeth and the alignment of the jaws. Because people with BCCNS are likely to develop multiple KCOTs during their adolescent years and beyond, the following treatment protocol is recommended by Dr. John Hellstein, clinical professor of Oral Pathology at the University of Iowa College of Dentistry and member of our Medical Advisory Board.
- Annual Panorex. A person with BCCNS should have a panoramic X-ray taken of the mouth every year, starting at age 8. These should continue until age 21 or the first occurrence of a KCOT (whichever comes first). After a KCOT is found and treated, the next Panorex should be taken at six months, and then every year until the patient has had 5 years free of tumors. After five years, the schedule can be relaxed to every two years; after ten years, the patient and oral surgeon may decide how often to take any follow-up scans. Remember to "reset the clock" after every new occurrence.
- Get them treated. This advice may seem obvious, but some dentists or oral surgeons may ask if they can wait a few months and observe the KCOT. KCOTs, however, do not resolve on their own — in fact, left to their own devices, they only get larger and more destructive. Any new tumor should be treated as soon as possible.
- Avoid resection. Resection is the complete removal of the tumor, plus a margin of bone all around it — or the entire jaw. Because people with BCCNS are likely to form multiple KCOTs during their lives, repeated resection would slowly destroy an affected individual's face. The goal of treating KCOTs in an affected individual is to preserve as much of the jaw and teeth as possible. The overlying epithelium should also be preserved, if possible.
- Decompress large lesions. Decompression is the insertion of a tube or a vent into a KCOT, allowing it to be flushed out with water or saline solution every day. This slowly cleans out the contents of the tumor and allows it to shrink to a more manageable size while the jaw regrows healthy bone to take its place. A similar process calledmarsupialization simply stitches the cyst open and exposes its contents, but decompression generally results in a more thorough recovery.
- Enucleate small lesions. Enucleation is the careful removal of a KCOT. Enucleation by itself is reported to have a high recurrence rate, which is why an oral surgeon will generally supplement it with extra measures. These include curettage (scraping the surrounding cavity with a sharp knife or burr to remove any remaining KCOT matter), cryotherapy (freezing and killing the tumor with liquid nitrogen), and Carnoy's solution (a chemical fixative used to cauterize the area around the tumor). If Carnoy's solution is used, a blend without chloroform is recommended.

Before the sophomore LP from Marina & the Diamonds arrives early next year, Marina Diamandis and co. have a brand new club-ready single to unleash on the charts — complete with this week's equally energetic official music video. Fittingly, the desert scenery and sizzling beat in the clip align with the steamy weather described on the day the tune was born, thematically catalyzed, according to Diamandis, by a heat wave in New York City.
"Introduced to a glittering new nightlife, I fell in love with New York; it has this magic, fizzing white energy that no other city in the world has," she said of that "Radioactive" day. "I felt happy and was inspired to write a song that felt light and euphoric, a more streamlined, minimalistic style of songwriting."
Check out the clip above. Meanwhile, an acoustic version is available in exchange for signing up for her official mailing list. You can pick up an MP3 here and preview the unplugged take below.

There were burn marks all over the comforter and the room had a musty smell. The room, overall, was not bad. Thre problems were minor and could be easily fixed.

It was not a bad hotel for the price. If you are looking for a rest stop on your drive to Disney World or another Florida location, I would recommend it. It is right off I-75 and close to I-10. I would not recommend it as a destination, but as a stopover it is adequate and affordable.

By: Chris Ramirez, 4 On Your Side
State Auditor Hector Balderas expects to have a full report by August regarding allegations of contract rigging in Torrance County contracts.
In April the KOB 4 On Your Side team exposed that contractor Chris Valdez received nearly $750,000 in contracts for various county construction projects.
But County Commissioner Venessa Chavez Gutierrez suspected some of those contracts may have been rigged in order for Valdez to obtain them.
And to the dismay of her fellow commissioners, Chavez Gutierrez requested Balderas look into the matter. Her actions even resulted in at least one fellow commissioner requesting she step down from her position as Commission chair.
There is also speculation that Torrance County Manager Joy Ansley may have had an inappropriate relationship with Valdez, but when asked about the rumor, she denied it.
Once KOB 4 On Your Side began probing the issue, we obtained an audio tape with threatening remarks by Valdez to Chavez Gutierrez's husband.
Balderas said his office was alarmed at first by the threats and resistance from Torrance County for his office to look into the contracts.
"We're seeing there is a culture to intimidate the free flow of information," Balderas said in an interview with KOB 4 On Your Side Tuesday.
Balderas said only after he warned county elected officials and attorneys that resisting an official state audit is unlawful, they started to comply.
"We're seeing changing behavior as (they) get more educated, but any type of resistance to whistleblowers is very concerning to me," Balderas said.
He said the field work and investigation should wrap-up in the next two weeks with a full report to follow in August.

Mobile Cloud Music Showdown – Subscription Services, 1st Place: Rdio
Ed. – This article is part of our roundup featuring all of the mobile cloud music services currently available in the US. Click here for more.
Yet another phoenix rising from the ashes of the digital music vanguard (their founders also founded P2P network Kazaa), Rdio came out of beta in late 2010 and has been gathering users and influence ever since. And while it is obviously our No. 1 choice, how in the world did it beat out hypemaster Spotify? Take a look at our review to find out.
Mobile Platforms
iOS, Android, Windows Phone 7, BlackBerry
Library Size
8 million 256kbps DRM-free tracks, unspecified lower quality over cellular connections.
The Shuffle Test
Ed.- we took 10 songs shuffled from our iTunes library and checked how many each service had.
9/10 – Roxy Music – 2HB (Y), Big Star – Life Is White (Y), Sufjan Stevens – Jacksonville (N), The National – Slow Show (Y), Daft Punk – Da Funk (Y), Rolling Stones – Gimme Shelter (Y), Big Punisher – Dream Shatterer (Y), John Legend – It Don't Have to Change (Y), Desaparecidos – The Happiest Place on Earth (Y), The Notorious B.I.G. – Ready to Die (Y)
Software (Stability)
The Rdio mobile apps are feature-rich and typically display album art whenever possible, so we were unsurprised to see some slow response times. But while it occasionally lagged, the software was very reliable, only crashing once across all the platforms we tested. We loved the desktop app for Mac, and while there was no Windows app, the Web player works with any OS.
Software (User Interface)
Loaded with features and options, Rdio's interface can be a tad overwhelming at first. The iOS app, in particular, has nine sections to choose from on its main screen, or "Dashboard." But while the Android and Windows Phone 7 apps were a bit more streamlined, they were also missing (useful) features, which we never like to see. The Android app was missing the "New Releases," "Top Charts" and "Recommended" buttons, and WP7 was missing everything but "Heavy Rotation," "Activity," "Collection" and "Playlists." The WP7 app's "Collection" section was also awkward to browse (no fast-scrolling), and it didn't let you add songs to directly from the app.
Aside from the clunky (but pretty) WP7 app, we liked how the "Now Playing" screen remains prominent in the others. It stays minimized at the bottom of the screen (and displaying artist, song and album with art) while browsing the app.
"Heavy Rotation" shows you what is getting the most play, whether it be from your account, your network or all of Rdio. If you built a queue on the Web but need to leave to run errands, just click the "Web Queue" button on your mobile app and it magically appears. "Recent Activity" acts much like Spotify's "Feed," notifying you when those you follow add music to their collection, update playlists, review an album or even sync music to their mobile.
We also liked the Web interface, which has a player on the left column with art, controls and info. Rdio is also one of the few services that offers a "match" service that scans your iTunes collection for songs in Rdio's library and adds it to your collection. While Rdio doesn't have the largest library, they did well on our shuffle test, and matched about 14k of the 20k+ songs from our library with relative ease and speed.
Over Wi-Fi, the streaming speed was excellent, with playback starting in under 2 seconds. Over 3G, speeds were still solid, yet the sound quality was significantly reduced. Oddly, playback over 4G was easily the worst, constantly skipping (though it was mostly likely due to network issues).
One playback issue that puzzled us stemmed from an attempt to play a song that was "currently unavailable for full-length streaming in your region." We attempted to play The Cardigans "Celia Inside," but the mobile app didn't tell us it was unavailable (we had to investigate on the desktop app to figure it out), and instead forced us to listen to "Blah Blah Blah" from the soundtrack to Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
Recommendations (Finding New Music)
This area is where Rdio really shines. It has by far the most options for finding new music, and their social media integration is rivaled only by Spotify. Users can follow friends, random Rdio users, record labels, magazines and even organizations like the Polaris Music Prize; the recommendations carry more weight when they're coming from your favorite publications and record labels.
One advantage Rdio has over Spotify is that users can see other users' listening history, browse through their collections and add songs from their profiles to their own. This can be construed as a disadvantage for self-conscious users ashamed of their own listening habits, but for our purposes we see it as a major plus.
The "Recommendations" button suggests albums based on your previous listening habits. Some sample suggestions: MoZella's "MoZella" from Adele, Prodigy's "Product of the 80s" from Nas, and Toya's "Crazy Fool" from Jill Scott. Not feeling the current crop? They can be "reloaded" with a push of a button. Artist radio stations can be started from any artist selected from search, and while there weren't any obvious miscues, we feel they repeated the same artists too frequently for our tastes.
Other options include the "New Releases" tab, which lets you view the current week's releases, those from the previous week as well as the week before; "Top Charts" shows the most popular albums, songs and playlists on Rdio. And although it's only available on the Web or desktop apps, the ability to collaborate on playlists with your friends is always fun.
Offline Playback
Songs can be "synced to mobile" from either the mobile app, desktop player or Web app. Those songs are then saved to your mobile device (the next time you open it) for offline playback, but if you want offline playback from the desktop player or the Web app, you'll need to buy the tracks or albums individually. We were a bit peeved that there was no separate section for songs saved to your phone; they show up in your collection along with everything you matched from your computer, as well as songs added for later streaming. However, artists with music saved on the mobile device will have a small orange phone icon next to their name.
$4.99/mo (Web and desktop player use only), $9.99/mo (mobile apps and media players like Sonos, Roku).
The reason Rdio is so great is because of the myriad options to find new music. No one even comes close to offering the breadth and quality of options that Rdio delivers, and while their software is far from perfect, it has a short learning curve for something with so many options.
The reason it edges out Spotify for the top spot is because while it seamlessly integrates social media into its experience, it isn't wholly dependent upon it. Yes, you can see what new records Spin Magazine likes, or peek at what tunes your friend listened to at the beach last weekend, but you can also see which songs are most popular on Rdio or listen to "Mobb Deep Radio." They also offer more flexibility and functionality with their social integration than other services; they offer Last.fm a bit of competition by making users' listening history available for perusal.
We've reviewed several great services over the past few weeks, but if we had to choose only one subscription service to pay for, it would be Rdio.

Police confiscated almost 30 kilograms of the popular nightclub drug MDMA while investigating reports of a burglary in San Francisco's Bernal Heights neighborhood this weekend.
Officers found about $1.5 million of the drug — which is also known as ecstasy or molly — in both powder and pill form in a second-floor apartment on the 3300 block of Mission Street at about 9 a.m. Sunday, according to police.
Officers discovered the stash while responding to a call from a downstairs resident. The resident said a man had broken a window on the first floor shortly after the resident refused to let him into the building.
The man left a blood trail from the broken window to an apartment on the second floor, police said. A man who answered the door to that apartment had blood on his hands and pants, and was later identified by the first-floor resident as the man he had refused to let into the building.
Police said they had entered the second-floor apartment to conduct a well-being check, and found another man and several drug packages in plain view.
Officers obtained a search warrant and found 23 kilograms of MDMA in powder form, 4.5 kilograms of MDMA in pill form and $30,000 in cash.
The two men — Steven Terrell, 31 and Benjamin Hagerl, 36, both of San Francisco — were booked into San Francisco County Jail on suspicion of possession of a controlled substance for sale, maintaining a place for selling or using a controlled substance and conspiracy to commit a crime.

Product Reviews
Full Bodied Flavor
Posted by kes on 9th Aug 2016
Enjoying this eliquid, it provides a full-bodied banana flavor and I find myself pausing and saying 'wow...I like this!' The only thing that I'm not sure about is the color or perhaps it's got sweetener added? It seems I don't get as much mileage on my coils as I'd like. However, it's quite possible that it's my fault and not the fault of the juice. Love this company, they are prompt in shipping, customer service is very helpful and have great juices. Thanks!
