Television actor Yash Sinha, popular for his role as Vinay in "Bhagyavidhata", is a foodie and also enjoys cooking. Now he plans to turn his hobby into a business by opening a restaurant soon.
"I want to do two things. Firstly, I want to anchor a food show and secondly, I want to open an unusual theme based restaurant," said Yash, who is currently seen in Zee TV's "Afsar Bitiya".
"Before you ask me more about the theme, let me tell you that I will not speak a word about it as I know the concept is really unique and the place will be a huge hit once it opens its doors. If people get a whiff of what I am planning to do, within a month there will be a place running on my concept," added the actor who plays Bablu Singh in "Afsar Bitiya".
In the past, he has played pivotal roles in shows like "Bhagyavidhaata", "Teen Bahuraaniyaan" and "Har Ghar Kuch Kehta Hain".
He loves is grandmom's cooking and revealed that he himself is an expert in making mutton dishes.
"I am a specialist in cooking different mutton dishes. My signature dish is a mutton starter, which is a unique concoction of 'shammi' and 'galauti kebabs' put together. Every time I throw a house party, I get special request for my signature dish," said Yash.
"I also seek new ways to carry on traditional dishes by cooking recipes passed on by my grandparents and my father. My grandmother was an excellent cook. My maternal uncle owns a very popular restaurant in Patna and my grandfather has a mutton dish named after him - it's popularly called 'nana ka mutton' in our family. My father is a big foodie ... need I say more. Since childhood I have been experimenting with different herbs, spices and cold cuts," he added.
Yash loves to trying out local cuisine while travelling.
"I am a hard core non-vegetarian and I can eat anything that is edible and tastes good. Though North Indian cuisine tops my priority list. I also appreciate the most is the local specialties that every place has to offer," he said.
"Whenever I go to a new place, I chat with locals, take their recommendation and make sure that I don't leave the place before sampling local food. Till date I have never been disappointed," he added.

Ever since I was introduced to fridge oatmeal, I've been trying to come up with variations. This berry oatmeal has been a big hit, but I've been trying to come up with a coffee flavored variation for the hot summer months when the last thing you want is hot oatmeal and hot coffee.
The first time I tried International Delight's Iced Coffee I knew it would work perfectly in refrigerator oatmeal. The sweet and creamy Mocha flavor turns the oatmeal into the perfect chocolate coffee summertime breakfast.
Iced Coffee Refrigerator Oatmeal
- 1 1/2 cups Old Fashioned Oats
- 3/4 cup vanilla yogurt
- 3/4 cup International Delight Iced Coffee, any flavor
- additional toppings: honey, flax seeds, granola or cinnamon
Mix all ingredients in medium sized Tupperware container with lid. Keep in the fridge overnight. Top oatmeal with a drizzle of honey, cinnamon, granola, flax seeds, or coconut. Serve cold. You could even pour a bit more of the International Delight Iced Coffee over the top! (Serves 2)
International Delight is celebrating summer by giving away 1,000 half gallons of Iced Coffee each day! Grab your free drinks here!
Now, it's your turn to celebrate! Enter to win $500 toward your ideal Summer Party by completing these two simple steps:

As much as we want to whip up healthy and delicious meals for our families each night, sometimes standing in front of the stove and cooking dinner or baking a batch of yummy treats can get a bit tedious for moms. And sometimes, meal preparation can even get in the way of enjoying quality time with our children after school.
But cooking doesn't have to be seen as a huge chore, especially if you make it fun for the whole family by getting your kids involved in the process instead of trying to fix meals alone.
Aside from giving you some much needed assistance in the kitchen, here are five more awesome reasons to cook with your kids and make meal time fun.
What do you most enjoy about cooking with your kids?
Image via Mary Fischer
Knowing that he is learning a skill that will help him through his life.
I enjoy the interaction with them.
I just like spending time with my dd while we bake.
I love watching them get so excited to stir and pour in ingredients and then watch them be so proud of themselves when it's all made and done, because they know they helped make it. :)
Just getting to hang out with them, I use it also to help teach math & reading to them. But the best part is when they get older and cook dinner for the family like me teen does once or twice a month!
I love just being able to hang out with them doing something we all enjoy and seeing how excited they are to try the final product!
I love to cook and I enjoy seeing my kids have fun and enjoy that time with me.

Israel's Bold New Queen
The latest Miss Israel, Ethiopian-born Yityish Aynaw, says it's about time a black woman wore the crown
In March 2003, Aynaw and her brother flew via Kenya to Israel. Her grandparents, whom she had hardly remembered, brought them to their hardscrabble immigrant neighborhood in the seaside town of Netanya. Without knowing a word of Hebrew, she was shuffled off to a religious Jewish boarding school in Haifa catering to new immigrants. Today her Hebrew is accentless and expressive. "They threw me into the deep water. But that's how you learn to swim the best," she said.
In fact, Aynaw stood out from the pack from the beginning. She became student council president, excelled in track and field, and won first place in a national student film competition. Her short feature film, which she wrote and directed, told the story of an Ethiopian immigrant girl in Israel who tried to ignore her heritage—a character she says was based heavily on her classmates. When Aynaw would show up in a traditional Ethiopian white kamis as her costume for the Purim holiday, or when she brought homemade injera bread to school, her Ethiopian-born peers became embarrassed. "We immigrants want to integrate into society. And we forget where we come from," she said.
After graduation, Aynaw, then 19, joined an army course that trains talented Ethiopian-born Israelis to be military commanders. She missed the cutoff date to be in Karakal, Israel's co-ed combat unit, so she ended up a military police commander responsible for 90 rowdy soldiers. In their three-month training, she taught her soldiers how to fire a weapon, perform security checks at checkpoints, and detect bombs. "For three months, they would never see my smile," she said, flashing a grin that's hard to imagine she once concealed.
"I taught them to be human," Aynaw said of her soldiers, who checked Palestinians driving through military checkpoints. "My soldiers would ask, 'How can I be so nice when there were instances of a 9-year-old kid or a pregnant woman blowing themselves up at a checkpoint?' " She'd tell them: "There are many Palestinians who have a wife waiting at home, a family waiting for dad to bring bread home."
In October 2012, while most of her friends traveled to popular post-army destinations in India and Thailand, Aynaw spent the savings she'd earned in the army on a ticket to Addis Ababa. She wanted to come to terms with her mother's death and face her history. "I never looked at her photos, I never talked about her. I decided to erase everything," she said. It was a defense mechanism: "I needed to succeed," she added. "I don't have parents that I can crash with till I'm a 40 year old."
A distant relative brought her to the Jewish graveyard where her mother is buried. She was shocked by the condition of the cemetery: Headstones were cracked, and rainwater would flow in streams around the graves. She hired the groundskeeper to cover her mother's grave with marble, to add a Hebrew verse from Psalms next to the Amharic inscription, and to encase the grave in a roofed structure. She waited three weeks in Addis until it was completed. Aynaw showed me photos of the refurbished grave on her cracked iPhone screen.
"Poor thing, I'm upsetting you with my stories," Aynaw said to me suddenly. She adjusted the large sunglasses on her head, and we switched topics to a recent photoshoot in the Mediterranean sea, when photographers struggled to make her hair look drenched. "How do you give me a wet look? I have an Afro!" she said.
Aynaw's win comes after a year of rekindled accusations of racism toward Israel's Ethiopian Jewish community. Ethiopian Jews took to the streets in January 2012 to protest after Israeli landlords in a low-income southern town refused them rent. And a month before, Ethiopian Jewish spiritual leaders made noise after Israel's rabbinate announced it would phase them out because their customs run against normative Orthodox Judaism. Aynaw's victory certainly has its critics; some say she won because of her skin color alone. Others have posted derogatory jokes on Facebook, like calling her "toffee queen," instead of yoffee (Hebrew for beauty) queen, or saying that it was too bad her poor family couldn't watch the pageant because they don't own a television. "Tell me I'm ugly. That would hurt less," she said of the racist jokes.
And yet, these past few years have been trailblazing ones for Ethiopian-born Israeli women. In 2011, Hagit Yaso was the first Ethiopian-born winner of the Israeli version of American Idol. In 2012, Belaynesh Zevadia was appointed Israel's first Ethiopian-born ambassador, sent to represent the Jewish state in her native Addis Ababa. And in January, Pnina Tamano-Shata became the first Ethiopian-born woman to be elected to parliament. "There is hope that Israeli society has gotten a little bit more open," said Semai Elias, a spiritual leader in the Ethiopian Jewish community, about their accomplishments. "The community has been given a chance."
Still, there are virtually no black faces on Israeli billboards and in magazine ads. That should change with Aynaw's expected appearances in ads by Israeli casual-wear line Golf and high-end jewelry seller H. Stern, co-sponsors of the pageant. Aynaw also wants to make a social impact during her tenure: She wants to institute dance and drawing activities for Ethiopian kids like those in her immigrant neighborhood who roam the streets after school. Someday, she wants to be an Israeli diplomat.
Aynaw will get a taste of foreign relations this year: This week she flies to New York to address a gala at the Waldorf Astoria for the Friends of the Israeli Defense Forces. This winter, she'll be in Paris. And pageant director Cohen says organizers of this year's Miss World competition in Indonesia—a country with which Israel shares no diplomatic relations—are working on securing a visa for her to compete.
If Aynaw makes it to the international competition, she'll be asked to strut down the runway wearing her national dress. Japan has kimonos, and Brazil has carnival costumes. But what gown represents the melting pot of Israel?
This year, that decision will be easy for Israeli fashion designer Berta, said Cohen. "Berta will go with an Ethiopian theme," she said.

I have a fun read for you today. The book Homemade Nail Polish was sent to us and I've been having a ball reading it. This is everything you need to know about the world of nail polish in a fast, easy format. If you've ever drooled over the colors you see that so many indie polish creators have introduced and wish you could do that, then you absolutely need this book. Even if you are like I am and just dream of the creativity, you'll want this book.
The author, Allison Rose Spiekermann, is the creator of her own indie nail polish line, Nail Pattern Baldness. She has shared what she's learned with us for $16.95 ($12.24 at Amazon.com; $9.95 for Kindle). If you follow her directions you'll be saving more than that and feeling like a million bucks.
Chapter One is absolutely vital since the author describes everything you need to know about the ingredients. You'll find out the basic ingredients and about all the extras like which glitters to use, which inexpensive polishes to use for mixing, and what every term means. It's short but oh so sweet.
In Chapter Two you'll learn what equipment you need to buy to start on this project. The author helps you with the best products to purchase plus she teaches you about some less expensive alternatives when applicable.
The heart of the book is found in Chapter Three and this is the chapter you'll love best. For example, Allison shows you how to use eyeshadow to add the interest in a polish you want to create. Have a polish you hate on your eyes? Well you can use that to add to your homemade nail color. Or pick up one of her suggestions about drugstore shadows to make your creation.
Just like a well written cookbook, she has ingredients and exact directions. Just like a chef you can take that recipe and change the colors you use and make it your own.
Other things you'll learn in Chapter Three are how to combine polishes, how to use glitters properly, all about special effect additives and how to make matte polish. You can make jellies, holographic polishes, neons and mattes with her recipes. This chapter has the tricks of the trade along with instructions on doing a good manicure.
Chapter Four is all about the fun techniques that we admire on others – jelly sandwiches, decals, stencils, galaxy nails (I need to try this technique!), dot methods, adding loose glitter and so much more.
Allison Rose Spiekermann doesn't miss a trick in Homemade Nail Polish. She teaches us everything from the basics to the secrets to how to create a perfect nail application. The proper ingredients and sources and where to buy them are in the book. I can't help thinking about what a great gift this would make along with some of the equipment needed to get someone started.
If you love nail polish or know someone who does, what a perfect book this is. Pretty fun, great ideas and creativity at its best. — Marcia

I'm on AT&T with the PPU plan. I can send messages to Sprint & T-mobile but cannot receive. I have tried putting in the mmsc and proxy settings and leaving the rest blank... and I have tried to fill in all the fields per post 340 by Sparblaze. Any ideas?
I use AT&T. I have the unlimited $20 data plan. I'm on a family plan with 4 phones total. We have the unlimited text message plan thats $20 i think also. The MMS works for me. Didn't have to call them for the .25 cents per msg plan.
Could this be because i have the unlimited txt plan?
I'm not complaining, everything works, but i see everyone else is having a hard time getting it to work.
that is why it works, yes
thats what i have
$20 iphone plan
unlimited text/mms on whole plan
4 phones
exact thing almost :P
I'm about ready to give up. Two days calling and stopping in at stores and it just won't work. First I had the ppu plan added, didn't work. Then I had a different store verify that mms was on there, still didn't work. Today I called had the unlimited texting added instead and the lady said that would cover the mms. Now my bill is 80 bucks before taxes and guess what...still service denied. Even put my sim in my v3xx and no mms service. I don't even care about sending them, just want to receive them. I'm so pissed atm heh. If anyone on these forums works for AT&T please hook me up!!!
great except i cant get it to work for att
It's not doing anything for me either. AT&T said i had MMS when i called them, too. AHHH. I saw something about a "fetch" button to receieve MMS. I never saw that, and i have the newest version.. how exactly do you attempt to receieve them?
You need to install the mobile finder and mobile preview to see your mms. Hope it will help you.
How exactly do u set this up in MobileFinder??
I tried but it disappear all time and going back to be as before: "/Applications". I set /MMSfiles as startup !?
Is there any "save settings" somewhere or what??
what are the settings for cingular I can not get my phone to recieve or send
if your pictures are to small add this source to installer choose a phone to fake and your future pictures should be larger
if you have got an MMS
then your phone will have a little "1" in a bubble on the swirlymms icon
just like a text
but until then, you cant "fetch" or attempt to get anything
also turn OFF "Startup in Last Location"
then set your startup location to this exactly, caps and all
then what i do is hit the return button (if in a text box)
then hit finder right next to settings
then exit the program
and try going into it
MMSC: mmsc.cingular.com
Proxy: 066.209.011.032
no APN/Username/Password
I have the AT&T PPU plan AND the Family Unlimited plan and still can't get this thing to receive messages. I had it working great on Sunday with just the mmsc and proxy settings filled in and then i updated today and I'm having issues.
I have tried to uninstall and re-install and that doesn't work either.
thats awesome
even swirly said it only supports pictures ATM
but if it does that
Since installing Swirly, my EDGE has completely disappeared. I uninstalled and it's still gone. I restored and it's still gone. Am I going to have to use the Refurbish option on ZiPhone?
fido users here you go!
mmsc: mms.fido.ca
proxy: 184.108.40.206:8080
APN: wap.fido.ca
username: fido

This is along the lines of viewing the received mms. right now i use mobile finder with the mobile preview plug-in to view received files but i was wondering if it would be a possibility to create a symbolic link from /private/var/mobile/Media/MMSFiles to /private/var/mobile/Media/DCIM/100APPLE so that you could view the images on your iPhone through Photos. I have no idea if this is even possible but just a thought....

Lubbock, TX (KCBD) - This Monday KCBD NewsChannel 11 and the South Plains Food Bank will kick off the 28th annual U Can Share food drive.
It's one of the largest food drives across the South Plains. Boxes and boxes of food line the shelves in the dry food storage at the South Plains Food Bank, but all of the boxes are Christmas goodies that will soon go to families across the South Plains. Once they're gone the shelves will be empty, and that's where you and the U Can Share Food Drive can help.
"It is tremendously important because it not only raises a lot of food for the food bank it also raises funds for the food bank," Lynn Garcia, Director of Development at the South Plains Food Bank, says.
"The food that we collect at this drive will hopefully put us into March (of 2011). Our goal this year is 500,000lbs of food and $100,000, and it takes the whole community and actually the whole South Plains to make that happen."
And South Plains Food Bank executive director David Weaver says, during the season of giving your donations are needed more than ever.
"In a normal week we will distribute about three trucks loads of food from the South Plains Food Bank; come November and December that number goes up to about six truck loads of food."
"When you really start looking at the numbers and the statistics, it means that 1 in 6 on the South Plains is at risk of being food insecure. That means there are times of the month where they're not sure where their food is going to come from," Weaver says.
"I remember a story of one little girl who came here with her grandmother. She looked at the food box and got a big smile and said, 'Grandma, we're rich again!' and it's the little things like that that you and I might take for granted, but it makes all the difference in the lives to the children and the seniors and the working poor that we serve." Weaver adds.
Every month, more than 5,000 families across 25 counties benefit from the donations at the South Plains Food Bank.
Just $1 provides five meals, but it's the joy of giving that really pays off.
"It's just lots of fun and excitement out at the drive; we just want everyone to join in, and we have such a great community and they are always so wonderful to support this drive," Garcia says.
The food drive kicks off Monday and runs through Saturday.
We'll be live at the main drop-off location at United Supermarket on 82nd and Frankford each day during our noon, 5, 6 and 10 o'clock newscasts.

What's Buffett got against gold?
The Oracle of Omaha has become wealthy investing in undervalued companies that contribute valuable goods and services. Gold just sits there.
Related topics: gold, Warren Buffett, investing strategy, stocks, ETF
Warren Buffett is an investing icon, and when he talks about the stock market, individual investors and Wall Street insiders alike take notice. Perhaps Buffett's most controversial investment advice regards gold prices. Gold bullion, gold miners and gold exchange-traded funds simply have no place in Warren Buffett's portfolio. And to hear Buffett tell it, gold should have no place in yours, either.
So what does Buffett have against gold? Well, the famous value investor has been pretty clear on this: Gold is, in a word, useless.
As early as 1998, the Oracle of Omaha was criticizing gold bugs. Buffett emphasized the nonproductive aspect of gold in a speech at Harvard that included this gem:
"(Gold) gets dug out of the ground in Africa, or someplace. Then we melt it down, dig another hole, bury it again and pay people to stand around guarding it. It has no utility. Anyone watching from Mars would be scratching their head."
He echoed these thoughts last year during an appearance on CNBC, when he was asked, "Where do you think gold will be in five years, and should that be a part of value investing?"
Buffett's answer: "I have no views as to where it will be, but the one thing I can tell you is it won't do anything between now and then except look at you. Whereas, you know, Coca-Cola (KO, news) will be making money, and I think Wells Fargo (WFC, news) will be making a lot of money and . . . it's a lot better to have a goose that keeps laying eggs than a goose that just sits there and eats insurance and storage and a few things like that."
Buffett struck a similar vein last month in an interview with Fortune.
"You could take all the gold that's ever been mined, and it would fill a cube 67 feet in each direction. For what that's worth at current gold prices, you could buy all -- not some -- all of the farmland in the United States," Buffett said. "Plus, you could buy 10 Exxon Mobil (XOM, news), plus have $1 trillion of walking-around money. Or you could have a big cube of metal. Which would you take? Which is going to produce more value?"
He has certainly stayed on message over the years. Key talking points for Buffett appear to be that gold is expensive to store, has no practical use and doesn't generate and income. Those are all pretty good reasons to hate gold.
For investors who think Buffett is wrong on gold, though, there are several ways to invest in the yellow stuff.
One of the most popular is through exchange-traded funds that operate as gold trusts - including SPDR Gold Shares (GLD, news) and iShares Gold Trust (IAU). These investments mirror the price of gold bullion and are a pure play on the metal, as opposed to investments in the shares of companies that mine gold.
What's more, these ETFs allow you to buy gold without worrying about the logistics of storing it or insuring it in your own home. The SPDR and iShares gold ETFs recently have exploded not just in popularity, but also in price, with the IAU and GLD ETFs both up about 23% so far this year, significantly outperforming the broader stock market.
In 1998, the year that Buffett made his remarks at Harvard, gold averaged around $300 an ounce, meaning anyone who bought an ounce of the precious metal back then would now be sitting on a return of 400%.
Shares of Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A, news), on the other hand, have appreciated about 140% since early 1998. That's significantly better than the broader market, but it doesn't come close to gold's advance.
In the short term, the results are varied. Gold prices are up about 53% since Buffett's March 2009 interview with CNBC, while Berkshire Hathaway stock has notched a 63% gain over the same period. Since the Fortune piece was published, gold has risen about 6%, while Berkshire Hathaway has sustained a small decline.
It's hard to tell what the future holds for gold, but one thing seems certain: Buffett will sit out the gold rush.

As a child or a teenager, did you dream up names for your future children? I did! I came up with these really crazy names as a teenager. I was a tree hugger and ocean lover and wanted to name my children after the ocean. I'm almost embarrassed to admit the hideous names I came up with. Ok, ok I will tell you the names but let's keep it our little secret. If I had daughters I wanted to name them Oceanianna and Dolphina. Of course, I was only going to have daughters, like I could control that, right? But when you are a teenager, you have it all figured out!
So since I've grown up, I have chosen more normal names for my children; names that they will not hate me for naming them.
The point of all my rambling thus far, was to discuss the subject of names. I've discussed it before, but it's a subject I like, so I thought it would be cool to re-visit it.
Have you been thinking of names for your baby yet? Ya know, even if you do make an adoption plan, you can still name your baby! Naming a baby is special and a huge responsibility to as it is something that they will carry with them for the rest of their lives. Even if you place your child for adoption, it's still going to be a part of them and with them, even if it's only in your eyes and heart.
Some people choose names after members of their family. Noah's middle name is a family name, after my only brother. Some people may name their children after a loved one or dear friend. My best friend named her baby boy after me. Some people come up with unique names that are less common. My nephew named his daughter Jayla, very similar to Kayla, but with a J. It's uncommon – as of now, she's the only Jayla I know! Some people name children based on the meaning of the name, for example, the name Jasmine means "gift from God" so someone may choose that name for the meaning.
Having trouble thinking of a name for your child? Check out some of the websites listed below for a little help or inspiration.

New iPad expected to have modest upgrades
FILE - In this Jan. 17, 2012 photo, Grant Beacon Middle School student, Jeriah Garcia, 13-years-old, works out an algebra problem on his school-supplied iPad in class at Grant, Colo. Apple is expected to reveal a new iPad on Wednesday, March 7, 2012, a device with a sharper screen, a faster processor and an option for faster wireless broadband. The iPad 3 is set to raise the bar yet again for competitors such as HTC, Samsung, Sony and others who have struggled to replicate Apple's success in the tablet market. (AP Photo/The Denver Post, Andy Cross, File) MANDATORY CREDIT; MAGS OUT; TV OUT
NEW YORK, N.Y. - Apple is expected to reveal a new iPad model on Wednesday, with a sharper screen and perhaps an option for faster wireless broadband. The upgrades are relatively minor, but the iPad is secure in its position as the king of tablets.
As usual, Apple has kept the features of the new device secret. No matter what they are, analysts expect the new iPad to be a success, riding on the popularity of the previous models, as well as pent-up demand from consumers who have been waiting for the new model.
The iPad 2 was a big step up from the original iPad, since Apple included a camera and reduced both the thickness and the weight of the device. But there isn't that much Apple can do to jazz up the iPad 3. Company watchers expect the new device to have the same basic size and weight as last year's model.
Nearly a year ago, the iPad 2 went on sale nine days after it was revealed. Apple watchers expect similar timing this year.
Some of the rumoured new features include:
— A sharper screen, similar to the "Retina Display" on the iPhone 4 and 4s. The rumoured resolution is 2048 by 1536 pixels, which would make text look smoother and some high-resolution pictures look better. It won't make much of a difference for images on the Web, or video.
Some speculate that Apple will call the model the "iPad HD," for "high definition," rather than "iPad 3."
— The new iPad could include Siri, the voice-activated "assistant" found on the iPhone 4S. Siri has gotten mixed reviews, but Apple has been touting the feature heavily in its advertising, and it would make sense to expand the availability of this high-profile feature.
— Faster wireless capabilities. IPads are available with built-in modems for AT&T's and Verizon's third-generation, or "3G" cellular networks in the U.S. The iPad 3 could come in a version that offers faster "4G" or "LTE" networks. However, most iPads are used only on Wi-Fi, so an "LTE" chip wouldn't matter to most buyers.
In this respect, Apple is playing catch-up. Some competitors, such as Samsung and Motorola, already sell LTE-compatible tablets.
Since last fall, Sprint Nextel Corp. has sold the iPhone. But it doesn't sell the iPad. It's possible it could join AT&T and Verizon Wireless in selling the iPad 3.
— A faster processor. This is pretty much a given, since every new iPhone or iPad has improved on the computing power of its predecessor. But few users complain about their iPads being slow, so this should not be a major selling point.
Sarah Rotman Epps, an analyst for Forrester Research, said hardware features aren't that important to tablet buyers.
"It's about the services — what you can do with the device," she said in a blog post.
Apple's competitors have slowly come to realize this, but only after bringing out dozens of tablets with whiz-bang features like 3-D cameras. The competitor that's done the best is Amazon.com Inc. Its Kindle Fire tablet is cheaper than the iPad, but what really sets it apart is that it's tied into Amazon's book, movie and music stores, making it an easy route to entertainment, just like the iPad.
Still, the Kindle Fire has a long way to go. Epps estimates that Amazon sold 5.5 million Kindle Fires in the fourth quarter of last year. Meanwhile, Apple sold 15.4 million iPads, and has sold 55.3 million in total.
According to Canaccord Genuity, 63 per cent of the tablets shipped last year were iPads. The only competitors with more than 5 per cent market share were Amazon and Samsung Electronics Co.
The iPad launch comes as Apple has reached a rare milestone: last week, it was worth more than $500 billion. Only six other U.S. companies have been worth that much, and none have held that valuation for long. On Tuesday, Apple's stock had fallen, bringing its market value down to $493 billion, but analysts believe the company is worth closer to $550 billion.
One big unknown is whether Apple will keep the iPad 2 in production at a lower price, like it kept the iPhone 3GS after the launch of the iPhone 4. If so, the iPad 2 could carry a price tag that would make consumers think twice about buying a Kindle Fire.
Another big unknown is whether Apple will reveal its rumoured foray into making TV sets. Some have speculated that the invite to the Apple event, which said "We have something you really have to see," points in that direction.
Apple already sells and "Apple TV," but that's a small box that attaches to a TV set to display movies and play music from iTunes.

With prices now starting as low as $100 or so, it's no surprise that Blu-ray players are pushing standard DVD players to the sidelines.

Stuck on Gold:Real Exchange Rate Volatility and the Rise and Fall of the Gold Standard, 1870–1939
AbstractDid adoption of the gold standard exacerbate or diminish macroeconomic volatility? Supporters thought so, critics thought not, and theory offers ambiguous messages. A hard exchange-rate regime such as the gold standard might limit monetary shocks if it ties the hands of policy makers. But any decision to forsake exchange-rate flexibility might compromise shock absorption in a world of real shocks and nominal stickiness. A simple model shows how a lack of flexibility can be discerned in the transmission of terms of trade shocks. Evidence on the relationship between real exchange rate volatility and terms of trade volatility from the late nineteenth and early twentieth century exposes a dramatic change. The classical gold standard did absorb shocks, but the interwar gold standard did not, and this historical pattern suggests that the interwar gold standard was a poor regime choice.

Ecofabulous: Slow Food Nation
I'm excited! Slow Food Nation marks the largest food event in America! At the Marketplace, commencing on Friday August 29th through Sunday the 31st, you can enjoy hearing about the fruits of the farmers' labor in Civic Center Plaza. Check out the outdoor food bazaar, urban garden and farmer's market in case you'd like to bring some of the slowness home. You can also spend time at the soap box, listening to orations by those in the know about how our food is grown, processed and presented. All of these activities are free and open to the public.
At the Taste Pavilions over at Fort Mason you can indulge in regional delicacies such as hand-cranked organic strawberry ice cream and wood-fired pizza (though not in the same space, purists will be pleased to hear and fast food fiends will lament). With 15 unique pavilions, I recommend that you arrive hungry and plan to spend your days grazing. Don't worry, though, there is plenty of beer and wine to keep your spirits up! Purchase the $45-$65 tickets online or at Whole Foods.
There are so many events going on that I could spend days delivering the news. But, thankfully, their excellent website lays it all out for you: slowfoodnation.org

Concrete Surface PreparationIf you plan to overlay or restore existing concrete, proper surface preparation is essential to achieving good results
Preparing concrete surfaces for coatings, overlays, stains or repair materials is a time-consuming task that many contractors perform begrudgingly or are tempted to overlook altogether. But if you've ever skipped this essential first step in the process, you undoubtedly learned the hard way how critical it is to the success of the job.
Concrete surfaces are prepared prior to resurfacing concrete to look like plain concrete again or to be upgraded to a decorative finish. Today polymers can be applied as thin as 1/8 " or up to 3/4" thick and stamped, producing a surface that looks just like a normal stamped concrete surface.
Surfaces are also prepared prior to various floor-coating installations in industrial, commercial, and institutional applications.
The most important characteristic for resurfacing materials or floor coatings is the texture of the concrete.
This section offers an overview of the steps required for surface preparation as well as an introduction to the machinery that is used.

Pikes Peak Library District's annual community reads project, All Pikes Peak Reads (APPR), is celebrating its 13th year in 2014!
PPLD's theme for 2014 is Engage the Extraordinary. PPLD and our community partners will be presenting many events around this year's theme and book titles.
The 2014 titles are: The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd and Who Owns the Ice House? by Clifton Taulbert and Gary Schoeniger. Younger readers will also be able to participate in APPR. The Teen selection for 2014 is Matched by Ally Condie. The Children's selections are The Watsons Go to Birmingham by Christopher Paul Curtis and Henry's Freedom Box by Ellen Levine.
The APPR titles also reflect our nation's 50th anniversary celebration of the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This overriding theme will be used as a starting point to kick off community-wide dialogue sessions during the APPR initiative.
The "Engage the Extraordinary" theme will also be a touchstone to programs and activities at PPLD's new state-of-the-art facility, Library 21c. This 21st century library will provide opportunities for individuals and groups to engage in research, learning, content creation, and entrepreneurship in new and exciting ways.

Below is a summary of updates for the CyberShelf OverDrive digital library website that are now live:
Suspend a Hold
This feature allows users to temporarily suspend a hold in the waiting list. The user's position will continue to advance in the queue while their hold is suspended, but the hold will not be filled. After the suspension ends, the title will continue to advance until the hold becomes available. If a user advances to the first position in the waiting list while the hold is suspended, the system will skip ahead to fill the next available hold.
Hold Auto-Checkout
Users can now set their preference to 'auto-checkout' a hold when the title when it becomes available. Users who select this option will receive a notification when their title is available confirming that it has been checked out and can be found on their Account bookshelf. Users who do not choose this option will follow the current hold notification process.
If a user is unable to borrow the title at the time it becomes available (because they have already reached their maximum checkout limit, for example) they will be sent the current hold notification email and will have the full hold pickup period to make their checkout.
Maturity Settings
Two options that allow users to customize their browsing and discovery experience based on content maturity level now appear on the Account > Settings page:
- The ability to exclude certain content from browsing based on the maturity level (Juvenile, Young Adult, General Adult, and Mature Adult). This allows adult users to exclude titles for younger readers and young readers to exclude adult-only titles from their experience.
- The option to "mask" all Mature Adult cover images with a basic cover image.
"Recommended for you" Collection
After a user signs in, a collection of recommended titles will appear on the homepage. Recommended titles will be available for checkout and suggested based on titles the user currently has checked out or on hold. If a user does not have any checkouts or holds, this collection will not appear.
"And" Boolean Searching
Based on partner feedback to improve search results, default search behavior has changed from "OR" to "AND." Now that this has changed, the number of results returned for a search will likely be lower than with the current behavior, but this change will meaningfully improve the relevancy of the results.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I'm the GM of a smallish raiding guild, and everyone we've ever recruited has come to us through pugging in trade chat. Sometimes we get jerks, sometimes we get hilariously memorable jerks, but sometimes we get solid people who know their stuff and like our vibe. If we have an open slot and the pug is interested, we ask them to come back to a few more raids to make sure they're consistent and serious. We've found some amazing people that way and it's a lot less stressful than other methods of recruiting.
I was going to comment and say the exact same thing as Moorit.
For small guilds, set up consistent raid times, get your guilded core together, and pick up some PuGs to do raids with. Just make sure to vet your PuGs through a site like wow-heroes so that you can have realistic goals about what content you can down.
My guild is also a small-population guild and 4 of our current members, including one of my most trusted officers came from leading successful raids with a few non-guilded members.

Several years ago fans were petitioning for Nathan Fillion to be cast as the charming adventurer Nathan Drake -- this had a lot to do with the fact that Nathan Drake's character is highly influenced by Nathan Fillion's performance of Mal in Joss Whedon's the Firefly series -- but the fan reaction did more harm than good. Nathan even told his fans to cool it. This put tremendous stress on the producer, writer, and director which caused the project to be dropped, temporarily. I guess that's a good thing considering they were going to cast Mark Wahlberg as Nathan Drake.
The project has since been picked up by the producers of Iron Man and the Dark Knight series with the writing staff that brought us Sahara and National Treasure. There is still no word on casting (I guess it is a little too early for that), but we cannot help being excited for this project after our recent discovery... Nathan Drake exists, and he is going by the alias James Kingston.
James Kingston not only moves like Nathan Drake with his incredible parkour skills, but he also looks the part. If only Sony would track this kid down and give him the training he needs in acting, they may just have their perfect candidate for Nathan Drake. Heck, he already has some experience in the film industry; citing clients such as Thor: The Dark World and Kick Ass 2. He is even listed as an actor and stunt-man for Devil's Playground on IMDB.
What are you waiting for Sony? Make your move. We'd love to see James Kingston as Nathan Drake in the upcoming Uncharted movie. So, make it happen!

I remember as a teenager reading this account of a George Shearing concert , in Jack Kerouac's classic "On the Road:"
Dean and I went to see Shearing at Birdland in the midst of the long, mad weekend. The place was deserted, we were the first customers, ten o'clock. Shearing came out, blind, led by the hand to his keyboard. He was a distinguished-looking Englishman with a stiff white collar, slightly beefy, blond, with a delicate English-summer's-night air about him that came out in the first rippling sweet number he played as the bass-player leaned to him reverently and thrummed the beat. The drummer, Denzil Best, sat motionless except for his wrists snapping the brushes. And Shearing began to rock; a smile broke over his ecstatic face; he began to rock in the piano seat, back and forth, slowly at first, then the beat went up, and he began rocking fast, his left foot jumped up with every beat, his neck began to rock crookedly, he brought his face down to the keys, he pushed his hair back, his combed hair dissolved, he began to sweat. The music picked up. The bass-player hunched over and socked it in, faster and faster, it seemed faster and faster, that's all. Shearing began to play his chords; they rolled out of the piano in great rich showers, you'd think the man wouldn't have time to line them up. They rolled and rolled like the sea. Folks yelled for him to "Go!" Dean was sweating; the sweat poured down his collar. "There he is! That's him! Old God! Old God Shearing! Yes! Yes! Yes!" And Shearing was conscious of the madman behind him, he could hear every one of Dean's gasps and imprecations, he could sense it though he couldn't see. "That's right!" Dean said. "Yes!" Shearing smiled, he rocked. Shearing rose from the piano, dripping with sweat; these were his great 1949 days before he became cool and commercial. When he was gone Dean pointed to the empty piano seat. "God's empty chair," he said. On the piano a horn sat; its golden shadow made a strange reflection along the desert caravan painted on the wall behind the drums. God was gone; it was the silence of his departure. It was a rainy night. It was the myth of the rainy night. Dean was popeyed with awe. This madness would lead nowhere."
I didn't know who Shearing was at the time, but I do remember thinking that was quite a compelling piece of writing. Fifty years after Kerouac's night of bliss, I was at the Blue Note in Manhattan to see Toots Thielemans, a gifted jazz harmonica player. Toots had a great combo with him, including a young guy at the piano who was really pounding it out. Then Toots paused, gestured toward the audience and out came an ancient, tottering George Shearing. He was led to the piano and he sat down and began to play.
I was maybe 10 feet away, and from the very first note you understood that however good the young pianoman may have seemed, Shearing totally outclassed him. It was the most impressive example of genius making itself known that I have ever seen. It vindicated Kerouac, who has a well-deserved reputation for being grandiose about such things.
Here's a taste:

My "big brudders" used to watch the Bruiser and the Crusher – and it was silly then. Soap operas for testosterone based life forms.

Good story, Jay. That is one tight group in the video.
And everyone should leave Andy alone. Having Asperger's is hard enough on him.

FIAT already concerned for 'deteriorating' CHRYSLER…
Now isn't this the ultimate insult?
Fiat sells cars that you would expect to see Bozo The Clown emerge from, the most foolish things on 4 wheels, here they are dissing a formerly proud US auto manufacturer that Obozo has totally trashed.
The clowns of the world joke about us.
I'm so embarrassed.

Never read On The Road. Probably should one of these days.
I have, however, read I see by my outfit. Hopefully others here have as well.

"ANNAPOLIS, Md. – President Barack Obama promised graduating midshipmen at the U.S. Naval Academy on Friday that, as their commander in chief, he will only send them "into harm's way when it is absolutely necessary."
Sad is the day when the CIC needs to reassure the military of what was once a given.

Maybe I should start my own website for that?

Shearing was very good but my favorite of all time is Bill Evans. He died in 1980. One of the greatest jazz pianists in our time. Saw him live in a smoke filled dive in San Francisco in 1978. The jazz piano man in the Fabulous Baker Boys was Dave Grusin, another of the great ones.

"Mail call four flights down, jewcowboy."
If you don't have the fortitude to stick to a conversation, and just do a hit and run, I've no time for you.
This, "I'm done with you," garbage then responding back is not credible. We all have things that go on; the blog is not our life. But if you close a conversation, have the decency to let it stay closed. After all, it's rodeo time!

The nation has lost 5.7 million jobs since the recession, the longest since World War II, began in December 2007. The nationwide unemployment rate stands at 8.9 percent, the highest in a quarter-century.-Urinal
It's a good thing for us that Obozo saved 4 million jobs, we are so blessed!
Yay, Obozo!

Fortitude? make that limited time.
Had you simply ended by saying "I have" that's one thing. It was the false accusation that invited my return.
Your 10:24 is the thanks I get for conceding?
This reaching across the aisle stuff isn't all it's cracked up to be.
Oh well…

Yup, Shearing has not only been a major force in jazz, but in jazz/classical fusion, bringing jazz to a lot of the classical community that would often turn up their nose at jazz, in the same way that Segovia took an instrument that most classical musicians thought was a quaint and odd folk instrument and turned it into a common classical instrument, that originally had to rely on transcriptions of music written for other instruments, to having a rather large amount of classical music written for it alone. There are few people who dare to cross lines in music, and Shearing is one of them.
