Adi Andrei wanted to combine artificial intelligence, psychology, art, and storytelling for the purpose of self-discovery of the subconscious mind. In the video below, Adi explains why he's focused on this, how to go about entering the subconscious, and what he's learned about hacking it. (Filmed by the London QS Show&Tell meetup group.)

Old Dress, New Twist
Vintage Dress, Necklace c/o Lisa Benson, Longchamp Bag
Although I tend to complain that my mother never throws anything away, when it comes to clothes, her reluctance to purge has proven to be beneficial to my own closet. Some of my favorite pieces have been permanently borrowed from both my parents, and this dress is the most recent addition to that wardrobe category.
Though it probably dates back to the 80s or earlier, its simple silhouette, bright goldenrod color, and durable cotton fabric make it a timeless piece I could have easily purchased in the current season. Its length (tea length or just above the ankle) means it also loosely fits in to the maxi dress trend that is still having its moment. Paired with a statement necklace, it was the perfect outfit for some summer cocktails with family at Castle Hill.
"Liars at best can be highly engaging in the short term but, like a reality television star-du-jour, get trite very quickly." - Muffy Aldrich
The point she makes in this piece is akin to the people claiming to be "from Newport" when in fact they're from the Newport area. Though my zipcode has always referred to Aquidneck Island, it has never been 02840. As such, when trying to explain the part of RI I'm from to out of staters, I never claim to be a Newport resident, championing the fact that I simply live "on the Island" instead. Perhaps that makes me as bad as some of the people Muffy references who claim a family home as their own? I'd like to think though that I've spent enough time walking cobblestoned Upper Thames over the years and enjoyed enough sunsets with the bridge in the background to legitimize my Portsmouth residency as being deserving of a close-to-Newport label.

Probably the only strong difficulty I've had with living in New York — I know exactly what summer activities I'm missing out on by not being in Rhode Island. I can understand why people love the city, but honestly, I love the ocean a whole lot more.
Someone remind me why I'm not home this weekend? #AmericasCup2012
I will always take the picture, when given the opportunity to incorporate an American flag into the shot. We have here a few proofs of this assertion, Second Beach and Bannister's Wharf, taken pre-move to NYC. There are less flags here, but I suppose that by being New York, the America part is kind of implied.

That is a pretty powerful and somewhat provocative statement! The quote is part of a tribute to the genealogist I came across a few years ago. I re-read it recently and decided to share it with whoever might look at this blog. The tribute was in the introduction to a book about the Buell Family. This was (is) an ancient family that settled in New England as part of the Puritan migration in the 1630's. The book is typical of the family histories and genealogies written by a family researcher (or other party) in the late 19th century. In this case, the book was compiled by Albert Welles, the President of the American College for Genealogy Registry, Family History and Heraldry and was published by the society in New York in 1881.
"No evil-minded person ever felt any interest in his ancestors, or made any efforts to rescue their History from oblivion."
This seems to be a period when Americans started serious research into their family histories. There are many publications about pioneering (ancient) American families that were published in the 1880's, 90's and into the early 20th century. It makes some sense as the country seemed to be discovering that it had become old enough to have a history of its own. The civil war was a recent memory and America had just celebrated its centennial. This was also the beginning of the 'modern age.' What did it mean to be an American? . . . people might have developed a nostalgia for earlier, simpler days, wanted to bolster their families prominence in society or may have just been curious. The introduction to this book, presumably written by Mr. Welles, is short and mostly about the family but a portion talks about the genealogist. It is a great tribute to the family historian.
And so . . . to the genealogist . . .
"No evil-minded person ever felt any interest in his ancestors, or made any efforts to rescue their History from oblivion. The Genealogist is hereditarily and constitutionally a good man. The pride of Ancestry is the foundation of pride of character, and no man can be great without it. The most important and valuable occupation for a man of refinement and culture is to write the History of his family. It is also a most delightful and absorbing pursuit, in-as-much as the Genealogist never wearies with this work. After many years of toil and persistent investigations he is as fresh and vigorous as in the early days. Accumulation of material only adds to the desire for more, and when once he begins, he continues a Genealogist during his entire lifetime . . ."My purpose for reprinting this is not to toot my own horn or claim some higher moral purpose for myself. Instead, it is to show my appreciation to all those who did the hard work of researching family histories over the last 150 years (or more). They worked without the present day technologies that bring a vast amount of information directly to us. They had to slog through public and private records, travel to distant places for first hand research and correspond with many parties both near and far. It was a daunting task, to say the least. Yet they did it and seemed to relish in it. We owe them a great deal and I think Albert Welles did a good job of summing it up.

Starting to get around to framing some art for the kids' rooms - M and I are both excited about this vintage Canadian Red Ensign flag. #canada #vintage
So I finished the book Good to Great on the weekend and I have been working through some of the ideas all week… pretty solid material in there. I would strongly recommend anyone in business to check it out.
Here are my highlights from the book, (kinda like a grade 5 book report) these are the main points that stuck out to me as it pertains to my business.
~ Business is like a bus, you have to bring the right people on the bus, that also means getting the wrong people off the bus. Once you have the right on and the wrong off, at that point you can figure out where people will sit. Hire the best possible people regardless of their skill sets, skills can be taught but quality character is tough to find.
~ You need to be doing something you are passionate about
~ You need to be doing something that you can be the best in the world at
~ You need to build a culture of discipline. This means having a to do list and a to dont list.
~ Once you have a clear vision of what you want to accomplish, pursue it relentlessly, make decisions according to what will get you there… and keep going. Great opportunities will present themselves, but if they don't line up with where you are going, they will kill the momentum of your forward direction.
~ What you don't do is just as important as what you do
So that is what I think anyway… pretty simple, but what a great book… it is sitting in my head like it weighs 400 lbs.

Pascal says that fans of both the movie and the book will be very satisfied with what the director does with the material.
Also, as there are three books in the series (the other two being "The Girl Who Played with Fire" and "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest") the question arises of David Fincher lending his distinct vision to all three films.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was released December 21st, 2011 and stars Daniel Craig, Rooney Mara, Robin Wright, Stellan Skarsgård, Christopher Plummer, Joely Richardson, Yorick van Wageningen, Steven Berkoff. The film is directed by David Fincher.

The horned animal may represent a male power figure in your life, or, if the horn is nonsensical, it may be a displacement of another person's power (or your perception of unearned power that is being wielded by another). The goal is to discern your feelings about the animal and whether you see any relationship between the animal and individuals in your waking life.
If the horned animal is a nonsense creation, such as a horned dog, it may indicate sexual tension in a relationship. Do you feel as though someone close to you has mixed motives for being in a relationship with you? Another scenario is feeling threatened by another's power to impale you.
You may sense this as being a sort of sexual-penetration anxiety, but the general indication of power and intimidation is more satisfactory.

Which final do you wanna see in Linz?
Oct 27th, 2006, 07:10 PM
Oct 27th, 2006, 07:12 PM
a good final!
Oct 27th, 2006, 07:12 PM
Maria vs Nicole:worship:
Oct 27th, 2006, 07:16 PM
The two in-form players at the moment: Nadia vs Maria. :bounce:
Oct 27th, 2006, 07:17 PM
Maria vs. Nadia would be best.
I wouldn't want either to win though :tape:
Oct 27th, 2006, 07:17 PM
Patty vs. Nadia, so Patty can get revenge from last year. :devil:
Oct 27th, 2006, 07:20 PM
Maria v Nicole or Maria v Nadia.
Oct 27th, 2006, 07:22 PM
Maria vs NIKKI
Oct 27th, 2006, 07:23 PM
Maria v Nicole, and then Nicole will kick her arse! :D
Oct 27th, 2006, 07:23 PM
Masha and Nikki
Oct 27th, 2006, 07:26 PM
I desperately want Maria v Nadia :armed:
Oct 27th, 2006, 07:32 PM
Maria v. Nicole, but Maria v.Nadia would be a good choice. I want to see where Maria's game is right now in comparison to Nadia's, who is also playing well. And if Maria loses to Nadia, I'd like to see it before the championships, so that she won't be taken surprised there.
Oct 27th, 2006, 07:51 PM
Patty vs Nicole - just so Patty can run her everywhere on court
Oct 27th, 2006, 07:57 PM
Maria vs. N*
Oct 27th, 2006, 07:58 PM
Maria vs Nadia :lick: :hearts:
Patty vs Nicole :yawn:
Oct 27th, 2006, 08:03 PM
Maria v Nadia or Maria v Nicole, whatever as long as Maria wins both Sf and final!!!
Oct 27th, 2006, 08:11 PM
russian final. Maria vs Nadia.
Oct 27th, 2006, 09:25 PM
Maria vs. Nicole, because I like Nicole and I want Kim to make YEC.
Oct 27th, 2006, 09:27 PM
no contest... sharapova v. vaidisova :devil:
just think of the endless whining, arguing, bashing, and trolling after such a match :scared:
Oct 27th, 2006, 09:34 PM
Maria v Nadia; it would be interesting to see how the result affects them if they meet at the YECs. Both are in good form so I'd expect a high quality match. Hopefully they won't play awfully against each other again though, like at the AO :tape: :lol:
Oct 27th, 2006, 09:40 PM
Well, I want Maria to play Nicole. That's the match-up that holds the most interest.
If that happened, then coming into Linz, Maria would have played neither Ivanovic nor Vaidisova, and coming out, she will have played both. That's sort of cool. The three best teenagers (arguably).
Obviously, I want Maria to win this tournament, but it would be interesting to look back a few years from now at Linz 2006 as the place where two great rivalries were born.
H2H Sharapova v Petrova 4-1; Sharapova v Vaidisova 0-0, obviously.
Oct 27th, 2006, 10:00 PM
i voted masha nadia. as long as masha wins, it dosen't matter who she's playing against. i like nadia so if she wins i'll still be happy.
Oct 28th, 2006, 06:23 AM
masha vs nicole ;)
Oct 28th, 2006, 06:35 AM
all Russian final Masha vs Nadia :drool: ;)
Oct 28th, 2006, 06:43 AM
masha is ready to beat another young player! last time poor ana and next up poor nikki! i regret all players are my faves(of course masha is the one) but masha is separated than all!
Oct 28th, 2006, 07:23 AM
i really want to see masha vs nikki its the one ive been waiting for as much as maria vs ana and thats happened now
Oct 28th, 2006, 07:34 AM
Petrova and Sharapova.
Nadia taking the title of course;)
Oct 28th, 2006, 07:38 AM
Maria vs Nadia, the two best players left in the draw.
Oct 28th, 2006, 09:04 AM
Maria vs Nicole or Maria vs Nadia, i don't mind either one. But my 1st preference would be Maria vs Nicole.
Oct 28th, 2006, 09:08 AM
Maria - Nicole
Oct 28th, 2006, 10:14 AM
Lol, I think we can basically say that most people want Maria in the final.
Oct 28th, 2006, 10:22 AM
though i want nadia in the final
i would love patty v. nicole -- two potentially bitchy personalities COLLIDE!!!
Mauresmo Fan
Oct 28th, 2006, 10:25 AM

October 3rd, Letter to Jack Pratchard from Bradford J Weisenmeiker III, senior attorney at San Francisco firm Weisenmeiker Kordonsky Bachman Turner Overdrive Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini (allied to San Diego firm Julian Dick Anne George and Timmy the Dog). Yo Jack,
Further to our recent meeting in August my firm Weisenmeiker Kordonsky Bachman Turner Overdrive, would like to merge its London office with your esteemed practice. Everyone stateside wants a piece of English pie - Rogers & Wells and Clifford Chance, that Pittsburgh firm that has opened in Birmingham, while a firm in Butthole, Arizona wants to crack the Newcastle market.
To allay any fears in the market I hereby state that we have full confidence in our London office. Without resorting to hyperbole, our London office is the best IN THE UNIVERSE. Our man in London - Dwight T Kordonsky Jnr IV - is not only a great lawyer. He is also a caring husband, a sensitive lover, and we suspect he may have superhuman powers like Spiderman.
That's how highly we rate his operation. Now, it is true that our planned growth - 50 lawyers by October 1999 - has fallen short. By 49 lawyers. But we have poached a secretary from Wilde Sapte and, without spilling the beans, Linklaters had better increase salaries to its cleaners. If you get what I mean.
So anyway, why don't Weisenmeiker Kordonsky Bachm... - oh jeez I get bored just dictating that name - and The Firm hook up? It may sound the most mercenary American-British partnership since Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones but godammit, we can make it happen. I'll see you at the London office next week, then it's off to Lie-Chest-er Square to celebrate...
October 10th, Letter to Bradford J WeisenMeiker III from Jack Pratchard
Dear Bradford,
We're all very excited at The Firm about the proposed merger. We've all been arguing about the name - what about "Weisenmeiker Kordonsky Bachman Turner Overdrive Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini and The Firm"? Me and Big Tosh went down to find it earlier on in the week and there was just a big lorry loading computers and chairs. There was a notice in the window saying "purchased by Spar supermarkets - value produce on your doorstep." We checked the entire street. There was one "solicitors" but that turned out to be a brothel. I asked around my friends in the City but they didn't seem to have a clue. A couple of them had the cheek to suggest that since opening in 1997 your firm has no clients. And despite the yankee bravado, the "US invasion" was proving to be an embarrassing failure. I gave them short shrift! I told them how you'd publicly stated your support for the London office. Why would you do that, then close it down?
Anyway, we waited for you to show up as promised. Even went down to Leicester Square to check you weren't downing the bubbly without us. It wasn't a wasted trip, me and Big Tosh went to see Tarzan. He cried of course. Reminded him of 'Nam...

Contrary to what that the first image can suggest, Motorbike King is not a game of motorbike on the track like Tourist Trophy for example. It is really an urban racing game where you have to take control of a biker who must win the races against an opponent in order to earn money to customize his bike. This is certainly not the most beautiful game that may exist, and the difficulty lies more in the sense of direction that you will develop (or not) than in the technical nature of (...)

To steer this riding season in the right direction, you'll want to make sure your motorcycle, and your motorcycle insurance policy, are in good working order before hitting the open road. While you should always check your owner's manual for specific guidelines, here are some general tips for getting ready: 1. Change the oil and filter.

A motorcycle is a significant investment. Before you get your motor running and head out on the highway this season, you owe it to yourself to make sure your insurance is up-to-date and you're properly covered. "Just as riding a motorcycle is much different than driving a car, riders should know that their motorcycle insurance needs are different, too," said Rick Stern, motorcycle product manager, The Progressive Group of Insurance Companies. Here Are Some Tips: Update Your (...)

Motorcycle pre-selection: With the help of a short checklist you can figure out a whole lot about the type of bike which would be best for you. It's the first step in motorcycle buying advice. I strongly suggest you give it some thought. Also consider knowing a little about the background of a motorcycle brand (tip!) and history of all motorcycle brands New Motorcycles: Life becomes a whole lot easier if you have a reputable dealer close to you. Even if you buy second-hand a good dealer (...)
I don't know who wrote this one and I'd gladly give credit to someone for this, but I don't know who that one might be. Perhaps it was meant to be that way. Maybe. Here it is: "There is cold, and there is cold on a motorcycle. Cold on a motorcycle is like being beaten with cold hammers while being kicked with cold boots, a bone bruising cold. The wind's big hands squeeze the heat out of my body and whisk it away; caught in a cold October rain, the drops don't even feel like water. They (...)
Rear suspension on a motorcycle is a subjective experience. That is, the "best" shocks for a 300-pound buddy aren't likely to meet the demands of your 105-pound girlfriend. Or what about the difference in feel between riding solo around town and packed to the hilt for a weeklong trip? Other than swapping out your shocks to meet your changing riding demands, another way to go is with an adjustable air-ride suspension system that allows the air pressure to be varied to suit specific (...)

Top Precautions for Diabetic PatientsAs the ŌĆśWorld Diabetes DayŌĆÖ is being observed today, we bring to you simple ways and techniques that can keep a diabetic person healthy for a longer period of time.
By Anindita Gupta, IndiaTimes | November 14, 2012, 2:26 pm IST
2 Exercising
Exercising helps a diabetic person immensely as it improves the body's use of insulin and burns the excess fat from the body. Exercising also allows a diabetic to lower the blood pressure and gain extra energy. Although, it should be noted that intense exercising is not advisable for a diabetic person as it may increase the blood glucose levels in the body, according to WebMD.

Peugeot is preparing to replace the current 407 . Its successor, the 408 will be revealed in December 2009 and according to the French Magazine Auto Journal might look like this. The 408 will share the same platform as the current Citroen C5 , but will clearly have its own identity.
Jerome Gallix, Peugeot's design directory declared, "The new Peugeot will still be dynamic, but will feature a simpler design, more harmonious and more balanced." Translation: the 408 will be a revised car on the old car's platform.
The big news is that next to the standard gasoline and diesel engine, the future 408 will also feature the HYmotion2 hybrid technology revealed by Peugeot in Paris.

Enhancing biomass production from marginal lands with perennial grasses
Name of the coordinating person: Dr. Susanne Barth
For a list of Grass Margins participants: please see the partners page.
Perennial grasses, which once established can be harvested and re-grow annually for many decades, have a number of other beneficial characteristics which suit them as biomass crops. These include high resource use efficiency, high productivity, good environmental qualities and a wide range of end uses. Environmental benefits include high rates of soil carbon sequestration, enhanced biodiversity and soil stabilisation. Read more
Learn more
The project will study the potential for using different types of grass species under challenging climatic conditions (e.g. drought, salinity, flood and cold) to develop high yielding biofuel crops. The selection of material by partners in the project will focus on four taxa of perennial grasses. These have been selected as a result of a preliminary analysis and known characteristics of these groups (El Bassam, 2008).Learn more

Being on the same show with Sammy was marvelous! I had met Sam on several
occasions when I lived in Beverly Hills; we were not close friends,
however when we would meet he always recognized me as I did him--if it was
not a hand shake it was a bow with acknowledgement. During his visit in
Japan we chatted several times and I learned quite a lot. He was the
person that I truly admired. Do I listen to jazz now? I must admit the
answer is I cannot find a true radio station that plays my kind of jazz
like Miles Davis, Roy Eldridge, Billy Eckstine, Sarah, Ella or Mel Torme.
As for Sammy, he really fascinated me with his impressions especially
that of Mr. B. Every once in awhile in my show, I do some
imitations. However, some of my audiences do not know who Mr. B is. I
met The Duke and Count Basie when I first came to America—Everyone had an
agent on Broadway in NYC… if I were to call names you might think that I
am braggadocio. However, I am not. Back in the day when I lived in New
York I met the cream of the crop, the very best. I was asked by many of
them to sit in whenever I went to see them. I remember once Slam Stewart
was appearing at a nightclub in Long Island and he asked me to sit in…. I
did. I sang "It might as well be spring" whenever I would see him he
would tease me about the song because I did not give him a solo, I was
only there to hear him. My favorite singers were Billy Eckstine, Mel
Torme and Ella Fitzgerald I like scatting these three were the best. On
many occasions I was approached by some well known record company, did
some recordings and never heard from them. When the music changed I made
some transitions. I have been very fortunate in having been associated
with some of the past musical greats; they are no longer with us. I was
young and I learned quite a lot from all of them--in a way it has helped
and in another way it has not. There is a lot of petty jealousy nowadays
and back stabbing. Night club owners do not respect musicians. You go on
a gig and they do not even have a dressing room, bad PA systems, no
spotlights and no stage settings they will not even offer you a glass of
water. On top of that, you are the one that has to bring the customers in
and get them to spend money so that you can get paid. It is insulting what
some of the musicians will get paid for one night I got more in the
seventies than what they offer in 2009 I will not perform for them I treat
my career as a business I do not care who like or dislike the way that I
am. I am a businessman I am not in your club to make friends I am there to
perform… I admire the young rappers--they are real business. Some of the
older singers and musicians, what is left of us, could learn a lot from
them. There are still some very great young musicians and I truly admire
them; we still need some music other than Rap. In my act now I do several
things that Lionel Ritchie has written he is a true song writer, I will
compare his writings to Porter, Ellington, Gershwin even Rogers & Hart his
lyrics are great. He has written some very beautiful ballads--I don't
believe in doing the same old nostalgic songs over and over. I get tired
of doing that. I do not carry my own musicians on tour any more.
Musicians in many countries are very good readers and are knowledgeable on
The American songbook. Sometimes I take an accompanist--many people
listen to the best of all in the musical field. That is wonderfully
healthy. I do not think that music listeners should be biased and only
listen to one kind of music. I love Jazz—however, when I worked in Vegas
I learned some R&B--it was new to me. To any young person who wants to be
a singer or musician it is a business; I have always treated it as a
business. I have made some friends and in some ways I have made some
musical enemies. I will not work for a nightclub owner who is
disrespectful of entertainers and I will tell him or her to find someone
else--I will patronize you but I will not perform for you. One thing that
I am very proud of is that I have never had any problems with my voice.
I adore the vocal interpretations of Barbara Streisand--she is smooth and
filled with melody. I am playing my piano more often now as I have grown a
bit older. We need some more clubs, as there are many good singers and
musicians who are not showing us their talents.

The Office of the Commissioner of Baseball announced today that Philadelphia Phillies Minor League right-handed pitcher Shane Watson has received a 50-game suspension without pay following a second positive test for a drug of abuse in violation of the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.
Major League Baseball announced that Commissioner Allan H. (Bud) Selig has conducted a conference call with a new committee that will study the issue of pace of game. The goals of the committee will focus on decreasing time of game and improving the overall pace of play in the 2015 regular season and beyond.
As New York Yankees captain Derek Jeter nears the end of his career, Major League Baseball is celebrating the legacy he will leave behind.
Tomorrow will mark 12 years since MLB.TV debuted via a postage-stamp sized media player as the New York Yankees hosted the Texas Rangers in a live video streaming event that would make digital media history. MLB.TV has rounded the bases a few times since, including delivery of HD streaming a remarkable five years ago, and has become the most widely distributed and #1 sports streaming service. The longest-running service of its kind has continued to deliver for its loyal subscribers with new innovations every season, a key reason why nearly a quarter of its current subscribers have owned the product for at least the past six years - half of MLB.TV's lifespan.
Colorado Rockies first baseman Justin Morneau, who played 11 seasons for the Minnesota Twins and won the 2008 Home Run Derby, and Oakland Athletics All-Star third baseman Josh Donaldson have been selected as their respective League's final participants for the 2014 Gillette Home Run Derby. The announcement was made earlier this evening on ESPN's "SportsCenter" by Derby captains Jose Bautista of the American League and Troy Tulowitzki of the National League.
The creative campaigns are over. Twitter voting ended in a furious rally. And at the end of the four-day online voting program, it is Chris Sale of the Chicago White Sox and Anthony Rizzo of the Chicago Cubs who were chosen by fans as the winners of the 2014 All-Star Game MLB.com Final Vote Sponsored by Experian.
As part of MLB Network's live game schedule for the last week of the 2014 regular season, Bob Costas, Jim Kaat and Tom Verducci will call Derek Jeter's final regular season home game when the New York Yankees host the AL East division champion Baltimore Orioles on Thursday, September 25 at 7:00 p.m. ET, live from Yankee Stadium.
Ten pennant chase games will be featured across six days on MLB Network from September 15 - 20.
With less than five weeks left in the regular season, MLB Network will feature a Labor Day prime time showdown and key matchups with Postseason implications in its live game schedule from September 1 - 14.

MADISON, Wis. (WTAQ) - The state Justice Department says it will not defend former Calumet County District Attorney Ken Kratz in a federal lawsuit against him.
Stephanie Van Groll of Merrill filed the lawsuit a week after Kratz resigned in October, claiming that he violated her constitutional rights.
Kratz admitted sending 30 racy text messages to Van Groll in 2009, as he prosecuted her ex-boyfriend for domestic abuse. Once that word got out, 4 other women complained that Kratz did similar things to them.
He asked the attorney general's office to represent him in Van Groll's lawsuit – but Justice officials said today they would not do so.

A former Olympian turned himself in to New York State Police Friday morning.
Genrich Sretenski competed as an ice dancer in the 1988 Olympics for the Soviet Union.
He will be arraigned in Essex County Friday on sex abuse charges. Prosecutors have not commented whether those charges are related to a $5 million civil lawsuit filed against him.
The suit claims Sretenski accompanied a girl he was training to the Ice Dancing Championships in Lake Placid, where he allegedly kissed and molested her. He also allegedly sent her hundreds of text messages professing his love.

"Great flavours, from oatmeal and raisin to triple chocolate." in 3 reviews
"The chocolate remains all gooey inside and if you happen to get them fresh out of the oven then all the better." in 3 reviews
"They're not cheap (around £1.20 for one, depending on weight) but they're worth every penny." in 3 reviews
Ben's Cookies is one of the best kept secrets in London and they're the best cookies I've ever tasted.
It's tucked away in a little corner of Covent Garden and I must have walked past it plenty of times without noticing it before my sister showed me the light. Since then I've passed on the favour to many others.
The cookies themselves are incredible. There are plenty to choose from but I recommend the chocolate flavours - milk chocolate, double chocolate and triple chocolate. They're not cheap (around £1.20 for one, depending on weight) but they're worth every penny. And if you buy a box of 7 you only pay for 5.
If you can try to get them fresh out of the oven. The chocolate is warm and gooey and no cookie has ever tasted so sumptuous. They're still great even when they're cold, but if you take them home don't be afraid to put them in the microwave for a few seconds to try and replicate that just-baked taste.
These are the most amazing cookies you will ever taste and I can't recommend Ben's highly enough. I was thin before I found this place.
Usually I love Ben's Coolies but when I was in here they had regrettably run out of milk chocolate cookies and while more wee finished, they would not put them out as they were too hot however this is still a wonderful, if small, shop with the best cookies if you're in the mood for chewy cookies.
This shop has gooey cookies and they do seem to be fresh given the freshness of the milk chocolate cookies. Sold by weight, don't expect the cookies to be a standard cost.
A cookie on its own will be more than £1 (I still buy them) but to share with friends there are good deals on boxes of them. Also ice cream and milkshakes.
They're very fresh, soft and sweet. Great flavours, from oatmeal and raisin to triple chocolate. Good uses of fruits and white chocolate.
This place is fantastic! The cookies here are truly the best i've ever tasted - melt in the middle gooey, with a crisp outer edge and packed full of whatever bits and pieces you desire.
There are so many choices here that there will be something for everyone, my personal favourite is the triple chocolate, packed with hand cut chunks of chocolate. There are also speciality options on offer, as well as cookie boxes and desserts served with ice cream or hot chocolate.
Another part of this store's appeal is it's tiny size! To combine a kitchen and shop into a minute space is rather impressive, but this just adds to its charm.
Cookies are baked fresh throughout the day, so wait for a fresh batch of your favourite and settle on the chairs outside with a cold glass of milk and watch the crowds go by
Ben's cookies are to die for! Go for the chocolate ones, no make that double chocolate or white chocolate and cranberry. It's always so hard to choose. Mmm. The chocolate remains all gooey inside and if you happen to get them fresh out of the oven then all the better.
I'm so inclined to think of Ben's Cookies as a tourist trap, stuck right in the middle of Covent Garden, but the fact is they are a treat regardless of where they're located. Always nice and fresh, sometimes hot out of the oven, they are the perfect pick me up when you need a sugar fix or just a little something to hold you over until dinner. That they are sold by weight rather than individual cookie is a bit confusing, but I suppose you always get exactly your money's worth. Personally, I could go for a peanut and a hot chocolate right now.
I stumbled upon Ben's on a recent trip back to London and the milkshake is divine. It was so good I had to sneak it into Christopher's, a martini bar down the road, for my friends to try. It could be the best I have ever tasted and that is saying a lot after living in New York for 2 years. Shake shack move over....
Amazing amazing cookies. Such a range of flavours - coconut is by far my favourite. There is another small branch of this place in Kensington station and it is just as good as this one. Step aside millies cookies - this is by far much better!!
I feel awful for posting this review as everyone I know seems to swear by Ben's Cookies! Am I the only one who thinks the cookies are closer to a cake than a cookie?
I prefer my cookies chewy, and Ben's are a bit too soft and cakey for me. Also, I could really taste the butter in it, which was a little too much for me. Don't get me wrong -- I love butter, but I would have preferred it had it been integrated better with the rest of the ingredients. One more thing, I had 1 cookie after lunch one day, and by early-afternoon, I was knocked out. Makes me wonder what was in that cookie.
I don't think I will be buying another Ben's cookie anytime soon, especially if I am looking for an actual "cookie." And by that, I mean something like Mrs. Fields in the U.S. The closest I've come to this would be M&S bakery cookies. Now those are delicious.
If ever you're feeling low and want something to pick you up, this outlet of ben's cookies is amazing! I usually pop in after a particularly nasty lecture. The smell of freshly baked cookies is fabulous and their white-choc cookie just puts a smile on my face!

What's New In Apple TV 7.0
APPLE TV software 7.0 change icon program coming this fall

What's New In Apple TV 7.0
Is that it? A few cheesy and unnecessary UI changes?
What about functionality changes? What about adding universal search? What about adding a universal provider so I don't have to add my DirecTV account info and activate on every channel?
What about adding to App Store?
What about adding apps like Safari, Find My iPhone, Find Friends, Mail or Messaging? There are a lot of things that can be improved more than just making the UI flat.

What's New in iTunes 12
Why can't there be just an iTunes Store. There you find what you want to download, podcasts, albums, movies, etc. Then, once the download completes a smart sort of invisible app picks up the new arrival, files it to your own folders, which have a smashing media list view. Once launched another smart app handles each MP3, MP4, podcast download with a simple minimalist interface to play.
iTunes now is a gargantuan and it makes no sense as it ttys to be all things to all users. That's not necessary, nor is it simple, nor efficient, nor FUN!

Can't add a year to a file that wasn't added from the iTunes Store, it seems. I have a video file (.mp4) that I copied into iTunes. Accessing the new Get Info screen, I can edit the title, sorting, etc., but there is no way to add the movie's release date. Haven't checked for audio files yet.
They just made organizing your media with iTunes a bit more difficult than it already was. Seems another reason to find another option.

The Complete Guide to Apple TV Channels
Sadly, virtually everything from any of the channels or services (save YouTube) are not available unless you also have a cable or satellite service subscription. in my opinion this is the height of stupidity by these networks and services. First off, if I already have them on a cable or satellite service, why would I need them on AppleTV? The reason I would want them on AppleTV is because I *don't* have cable or satellite service. And given that each subscriber nets each of these services less than a dollar or two per month (some, undoubtedly even less) based on the number of these channels that one can get per dollar when boosting a cable or satellite plan from the basic to the more advanced levels, these channels could be making a fortune from AppleTV owners by simply allowing them to subscribe through their iTunes account for a few dollars each month. But apparently the management of these stations are so myopic and tied to the cable and satellite service models that they can't bother to recognize the possibilities for higher sources of revenue. Would that Apple would put more pressure on them to open up their stations to AppleTV owners via iTunes.

I agree on the statements above. Also, what about make it possible to ZOOM IN on the map - doing the finger moves keeps the small fonts, ehhh small. Apple, please don't make the Microsoft error by introducing a lot of new features without Kirsten to the users needs for refining the old ones. What I really miss is password protected mails (as another rouser asked for) but also the possibility for protected pictures and so on fro prying eyes.

The Barracuda class submarines were the product of Project Kayo, a research and development effort begun immediately after World War II by the United States Navy to "solve the problem of using submarines to attack and destroy enemy submarines." The three Barracuda ASW boats were not the only US submarines to bear the hull classification symbol SSK. USS Croaker (SSK-246) was a converted World War II Gato class submarine.
The primary innovation created by Kayo was a low-frequency passive bow sonar system, the BQR-4. With the sonar array occupying the boat's bow, the forward torpedo tubes had to be moved back and angled outward.
The Barracuda type SSKs were designed to be smaller than contemporary attack submarines and simpler in design and construction. It was hoped that this would allow them to be cheaply mass-produced in the large numbers it was thought would be needed to combat the growing Soviet submarine fleet. It was also thought that this would allow shipyards without submarine experience, and aircraft contractors with experience in the mass production of large complex aircraft, to build these submarines.
Like other attempts to build smaller, cheaper submarines, the experiment was a failure. As with the pre-World War II Mackerel class, and later USS Tullibee, the result was a ship with insufficient performance to meet their intended operational usage. The Barracudas were slow and had limited endurance, and so were retired by the late 1950s. Their sonar, however, proved excellent, with good convergence zone detection ranges against snorkeling submarines. A bow sonar array and angled, amidships torpedo tubes have been used in every submarine design created since the Barracudas.[citation needed]

The House was quiet. If bustling was being done, it was being done elsewhere. I picked a hallway at random, ambled down it, found a flight of stairs leading up, took to them. I met an older gentleman clad in a butler's black tails halfway up the first flight. I saw his eyes cut to my Avalante pin and then cut away.
I picked halls at random, left closed doors shut, ventured into a couple of open ones. The second floor was surprisingly empty, aside from servant's quarters and a couple of unfinished guest rooms. I did find a family portrait—Mom and Dad Lethway, he much older than she, flanking a ten-year-old kid who must have been Carris.
No dirt on his face. No straw hat on his head. My, what a difference a few dozen copper mines make.
I ran out of things to explore, so I gathered my nerves and took to the final flight of stairs leading up.
At the top, voices and footfalls sounded. A woman laughed. Glassware tinkled. Knife and fork clattered on a plate.
Lunchtime. I headed away from the sounds and the smells, preferring to lurk a few more moments.
I wish I could claim I followed the pattern of wear on the floors or discovered Carris's room by recognizing the patina on his doorknob as only a man his height would make. But the truth is I was guessing, and I opened every door that wasn't locked, and his was the third one I tried.
Tamar's picture, painted by someone with talent, hung on his wall. There was a pile of fabrics and fake silk flowers heaped on his dresser. Beside the pile was a notepad, just like the ones I use, and on it were scribbled notes.
Red fireflowers for grooms, read one entry. Yellow for rest.
Below that was Meet bev. supplier tomorrow noon.
I flipped through the pad, found more of the same.
"You missed that meeting, didn't you?" I said. "I wonder why."
I poked through the rest of the room, found nothing suggestive of a man planning a panicked flight away from the jaws of impending matrimony. What I did find, hidden in the far corner of the topmost sockdrawer, was a box that held a golden ring.
Tamar's ring. I'm no jeweler, but I'm no infant, either. A man on the run could sell that ring for a quarter of its worth and still finance a very long trip. The fact that he hadn't sold it told me he hadn't planned on leaving at all.
I put the ring back where I found it, smoothed the bedcovers where I'd rumpled them, put everything as it had been. Then I put my ear to his door and listened for footfalls outside.
It was quiet. I opened the door and stepped outside and closed it behind me.
No one saw, shouted or rushed toward me with a club.
I was so happy I could have whistled.
But I didn't. I patted my Avalante brooch and straightened my collar and decided that since Lady Luck was smiling I'd see if she'd join me for lunch.
I marched down the hall, all pretense of sneaking gone. Why sneak? I was a friend of House Avalante, and a lunch guest at Lethway. If any mere butler dared question my presence I'd show him the bottom of my nose.
I managed to locate the dining room by following the smells. The door was ajar, and from the hustle and bustle of servants and carts I gathered I'd nearly missed lunch.
I opened the door and stepped inside. A butler whirled to face me, his sudden expression of haughty offense marred by the full mouth of mashed potatoes he was struggling to swallow.
"I hope I'm not too late," I said, before he could speak. "I was told downstairs there would be fried chicken. I prefer white meat."
Lady Luck wasn't just smiling but laughing and drinking straight from the bottle. A black-haired maid started filling a plate with chicken.
The butler fell into a fit of coughing. I breezed past him and helped myself to an empty glass and a pitcher of tea.
"Green beans, too, that's a dear." She smiled and piled them high.
Somewhere in the coughing fit, I suppose the butler spied my Avalante pin, because he tottered off to cover his mouth, waving the maids on as he turned. I grinned and grabbed a dinner roll. It was buttered and warm.
The maid pulled a chair out for me, and I plopped onto it.
"Too bad the meeting ran long. I was looking forward to lunch with the family." I tore into the chicken.
"Oh, sir, the Lady never takes her lunch here anymore," quoth the younger of the two maids. "Dines in her rooms, you know. Hardly leaves them, these days."
"Hush, Margaret," said the other, eyeing me with something like suspicion. "Fetch the gentleman a napkin."
"This is good," I said, between mouthfuls. "Someone here knows her business."
"And what business brings you here, sir?" asked the suspicious maid. I pretended to wipe an errant crumb off my lapel, in case she hadn't seen my brooch.
"Morris ram stabilizers," I replied. Bits of Rafe's conversation with Evis crept back to me. "Did you know that straight-bore mining drills wear out after only eighteen days? But not with a pair of Morris stabilizers on the forepins. They'll go twenty-six days, or better. Factor that in with the savings in site idle time and wages spent on repairs, and you'll see an overall boost to your profits of nearly one and a quarter percent over any six-month period. And I don't have to tell you how much that means in profits over the life of a copper mine."
I did not, in fact, have to tell her anything of the sort, because she gathered up a stack of plates and stomped from the room. Whether she'd bought my line of mining lore or was off to fetch the headsman I didn't know.
Margaret of the inky-black locks grinned and poured me more tea.
"My father was a miner," she said in a whisper. "I grew up around mines. There's no such thing as a ram stabilizer, is there?"
"There probably ought to be," I whispered back. "Are you going to scream for the Watch?"
"Depends. Are you here to help or hurt?"
I swallowed and met her eyes squarely.
"I'm here to bring Carris Lethway home."
She just nodded and gathered plates.
"End of the hall. Take a right. Next time, a left. Third door on the right. Be gentle. She's a nice lady. Just sick with worry."
"Worry about Carris?"
She didn't answer. She scooped up plates and fled, leaving me alone with a table-full of scraps.
I did linger and finish my chicken. I'm sure that illuminated a deep-seated flaw in my soul, but, as I said, it was good chicken.

From Upper Saucon Township:
Upper Saucon Township has contracted with Mid-State Utility Contractors, Inc. to perform a replacement of the water main along Limeport Pike between Lanark Road and W. Saucon Valley Road. The Township will replace the existing 3-inch water main with an 8-inch water main. The purpose of the project is to provide more reliable water service pressures and adequate fire flow protection along Limeport Pike.
Check out Upper Saucon Township's Google Map of the Project and detour.
Work is scheduled to begin on Monday, February 25, and may continue until June 6 at the latest. Work will be performed between the hours of 7 a.m. and 5 p.m..
Limeport Pike will be closed to traffic between W. Saucon Valley Road and Lanark Road between the hours of 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Thru-traffic will be detoured along W. Saucon Valley Road and Lanark Road during the closure. After daily work is completed, the roadway will be opened to two-way traffic, and the detour taken down.
There will certainly be traffic impacts on Limeport Pike because of this project and there will be delays for travelers. Motorists are encouraged to allow extra time and use caution when traveling through work zones.

Perchance to Dream (Theatre Illuminata Book 2)- Lisa Mantchev
Act I
Love triangles in literature are funny things. Inevitably, there is a love interest that you as a reader love more than the other; for instance, it results in being on either "Team Edward" or "Team Jacob." Mantchev's second book of the Theatre Illuminata series, Perchance to Dream, achieves what every other love triangle has not: I love both male love interests equally, just as Bertie does. There are no "OH my goodness, why do you even like him moments?" for me. Their petty jealousies, the variations in how they love her, their dramatically different personalities, it all works brilliantly. More than that, it allowed me as a reader to feel exactly what our lovely female protagonist Bertie feels.
Act II
Bertie meanwhile remains as headstrong stubborn, loyal and foolish in the best ways possible just as she was in Eyes Like Stars. Moreover, Mantchev's writing thrills me with it's inclusion of lines of Shakespeare and other theatrical references. Reading feels more like watching a play complete with scene, set and costume changes. I can only hope that this isn't the final curtain, but merely intermission in the Theatre Illuminata Series.
Exeunt Verb Vixen
Just finished Eyes Like Stars by Lisa Mantchev. Bertie was left at the Illluminata theatre as a baby, but her world is turned upside down when the Theatre Manager tells her she must make a contribution to the theatre or leave for good. Hilarity, drama, betrayal, lust, love, and adventure ensue. And all the while Beatrice stays true to her namesake as a woman who will not be put upon.
The plot is quite clever, and the cast of characters are charming and irresistible breathing new life and personality to some old favorites. The writing has brilliant moments where it is practically musical. I was slightly frustrated by the ending, since it leaves two large questions looming, but I am looking forward to the sequal. Overall, this book gets an A from me!

"Silence will save me from being wrong (and foolish), but it will also deprive me of the possibility of being right." -- Igor Stravinsky

You go, girl
I am insanely jealous of Ireland, Alec Baldwin's 11 year old daughter. Not because of her stellar parents, obviously. No, I'm jealous because when her dad goes off the deep end, she can let everyone in America in on it, and they'll hate him right along with her. I only wish I could have wielded such power against my parents at that age. In case you don't know what I'm referring to, here's the voicemail that Baldwin left on his daughter's phone.

Past confessions:
I'm Breastfeeding But I Crave Beer
I Sometimes Use Breastmilk for Cooking
I Drove My Baby Without a Car Seat
I Leave My Twin Babies Home Alone
I Let My Baby Wear a Dirty Diaper
i was told many years ago (my son is 31 this April) to do so because he was taking too many bottles and not getting satisfied. I was told by a pediatrician to do it. It would take a bottle and still be hungry so we had to start this at 2 weeks old!! but it was rice infant cereal and only a couple of teaspoons
I did it with all three of my children. 2 of them were breastfed. Or should I say bottle fed breast milk, after 4or five months. I could'nt take the teeth. just mix a little in and shake well. never leave baby with a bottle in bed no matter what is in it.

TMZ uncovered the true identity of the SpongeBob impersonator who got his ass kicked by two chicks on Hollywood Blvd -- and all it took was a litte help from Barney the Dinosaur ... and Michael Jackson.

Those warrants better be out of state or county because he is in BIIIG trouble if its in LA.

I bet he said more than that to the girl. He is a well-known perv, ask anyone who has the displeasure of walking past him.
way to go LAPD! Release a guy with Warrants! Should we invite T.I. into town for ya too? wtf
and, ANYONE who's been to Hollywood Knows these mascots are a Major Pain! They're like costumed beggars. They taunt and annoy you --wait, they call it "Entertain"-- until you tip them so they GO AWAY. Now that I know cops are Super lenient about it, I may smack a few animated chops myself soon :)
the classy streets of hollywood
Its strange the two females were not questioned or charged. So its cool for me to beat up anyone that trash talks....cool didn't release that adsolved you of all charges for common law assault, and adsolved you of all charges of battery. So any time someone trash talks me I can deliver a beat down, and the police will question them. BONUS...I"M GOING TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS! I'll walk down the street with BRIGHT RED HAIR and if by some small chance, someone trash talks me....BEAT THE LIVING SNOT OUT OF THEM....AWESOME...COOL SOCIETY....GREAT SOCIETY....THE GREATEST SOCIETY OF CARBON BASED BIPED's EVER!
I dated an african woman from trinidad who had a lot of class,and real culture and actually dressed and acted like a lady.
I would not ever date an african american woman.
You want to talk racism???I dated a woman from trinidad years ago,she was beautiful,had class and was real down to earth.
S***bags. Ghetto and tacky.
im laughing so hard im crying
If only Patrick was there it would have been a fare fight. LOl
Wow. Now that is black trash.
LA Trash in their finest Ross dress for less outfits beating on a guy in a costume, Classy.
I bet the only one with a job is the sponge
Why were the two girls not arrested for assault?
The one trashy girl with the kool aid hair dye even said; "I hope you got that on camera" , regardless of what he said to them that does not give them the right to violently attack someone. There is also damage to property as well, they ripped his Spongebob costume apart. There were tons of witnesses and the whole thing was caught on camera.

Please confirm that your email address is correct, so you can successfully receive this alert.
Clinical and Rorschach studies were made on 28 soldiers evidencing a psychopathic personality. The Rorschach scatter for each of these cases is given. Three brief clinical histories are included. The total Rorschach average is given and the criminals, sexual psychopaths and paranoid personalities subtracted from this total with the Rorschach pattern of the inadequate personality given.Certain relatively constant factors have been mentioned. It is felt that such a series under such a controlled atmosphere as produced by the military service in an overseas theatre would be difficult to duplicate in civilian life. This is a limited number of cases.The psychopathic personality appears to be shallow, flat and lacking in sufficient inner and outer control to warrant normal behavior. The psychopath lacks adequate intellectual depth to personally understand his behavior, yet his intelligence is within normal limits as measured by clinical and psychometric appraisal. The cognitive subdivision of his personality seems rather to be ruled by primitive basic instinctual and sexual drives to the exclusion of rational behavior. There is no apparent inter-personal conflict over this apparent deviation in his integration and he continues blithely along his way, bumping his head into the stone walls of social mores and customs time and again.Emotionally he is vacant with little innate emotional control and that present, when aroused, is characterized by violent upheavals and uncontrollable behavior of the rage reaction type which, at the time of the outburst, is of psychotic nature and appears to mimic insanity even in the legal sense of the word.The psychopath appears to be a social misfit, usually totally unmodifiable and exhibiting a deeply ingrained disorder of temperament.
