"John is an excellent speaker and is able to engage the class with stories that make his concepts relevant. I highly recommend this to anyone in business. It was a great experience."

You will learn how to generate ideas, craft a story, other skills you need to plan and create a compelling presentation. Either working in groups, or individually, participants will:
• Develop presentation ideas
• Assess their audience
• Create a story line
• Outline their presentation
• Write the presentation draft
• Learn how to rehearse effectively
Most presenters rely on visual support – often PowerPoint slides or other computer-based programs. Unfortunately, few people understand how to use their visuals correctly. (Think of all those boring, tedious, and confusing presentations you've sat through!)
Speak Like You Mean It! shows you how to create visuals that clarify, enhance, and strengthen your oral presentation.
You will learn:
• What PowerPoint is good for. And how not to use it!
• How to develop a slide presentation that moves smoothly.
• Ways to use visuals to illustrate your story.
Each participant will write a final script, develop their visuals, and deliver their presentations to the class.
You'll learn dozens of new ideas and techniques you can use right away to communicate clearly and persuasively.
You'll also receive a comprehensive workbook with notes, examples, exercises, and more.
We know you're busy and last minute things come up. If you cancel by June 5, we'll issue a full refund. After June 5, we can't issue a refund, but we'll be happy to schedule you for a future workshop. Of course, you can always send a colleague in your place!

Miscellania missive
First things first: Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there, including my own as well as my wife, who is the mom of our daughter. Here's a white carnation . . . .
Thanks, Congress: Most people, including me, thought Democrats were swept into both houses of Congress in 2006 on the wave of correcting the misdirection in which the nation found itself up to then and promote reform measures aimed at helping the people over corporations. Silly me. Unfortunately, this course remains unchanged, and Democrats instead have come up with starting-block totalitarian measures like H.R. 4279, the Prioritizing Resources and Organization for Intellectual Property (PRO IP) Act (Note: Is there a Federal Bureau of Acronyms which has the responsibility to name legislation? Sheesh). This bill, passed by the House last week, creates a "top copyright cop" at the federal level and does the following, according to the bill's author, Rep. John Conyers (who should know better): prioritize intellectual property protection to the highest level of our government; make changes to IP law to enhance the ability of IP owners to effectively enforce their rights; make it easier to criminally prosecute repeat offenders; and increase penalties for IP violations that endanger public health and safety. IP violations that endanger public health and safety? The only thing the House didn't do is gift-wrap this for the RIAA and MPAA. Hats off to Rep. Zoe Lofgren, who said " The recording industry has made a business out of extorting money from students" whose computers are used by others for illegal downloading. "This could be the same type of situation." More on the story here; and don't forget to write or call your Senator, if you're so inclined, since the legislation is bound for the Senate.
An aside: This has nothing to do with the digital realm, but it's pretty awe-inspiring nonetheless. In fact, if this feat does not make your jaw drop, you're either dead or you don't follow baseball (which begs the question, "Why live?"). Yesterday, starting pitcher Tim Lincecum of the San Francisco Giants struck out the first three Philadelphia Phillies batters on 11 pitches — three pitches to the first batter, four to the second and four to the third — in the top of the first inning. Wow. That's what I call "dealing."
Oh, and don't forget: I've separated out the Felton stuff into its own blog here.
Sunny and clear, 58 degrees and rising — time to go to Mother's Day brunch.

PORT ALLEN — West Baton Rouge Parish sheriff's deputies arrested two Baton Rouge men Monday accused of stealing items from a man's home and trying to dump them at a Port Allen scrapyard, a sheriff's office spokesman said.
Lawrence Duncan went to different scrapyards in Port Allen and Baton Rouge on Friday telling workers he had some home improvement items, including electrical wiring and a bathtub, stolen from his home, Sheriff's Office Col. Richie Johnson said.
Duncan asked the workers to notify him if any of the items were dropped off at their yards, Johnson said.
Sometime Monday, a scrapyard in Port Allen called Duncan and said Hollis Clark, 22, and Noel Ranson, 47, had just dropped off items similar to what he had described, Johnson said.
The scrapyard workers stalled Clark and Ranson long enough for Duncan to arrive and confirm the items were his, Johnson said.
Sheriff's deputies arrested Clark, 3965 Alliquippa St., and Ranson, 2915 70th Ave., and booked them into the West Baton Rouge Parish Prison on a count each of illegal possession of stolen things.

By Luaine Lee McClatchy-Tribune News Service
Fashion's perpetually childlike Betsey Johnson has known the dizzying peaks of popularity and the wretched valleys of despair.
Yet the designer, who set fashion trends for more than 40 years, is rising again with her own reality show, "XOX Betsey Johnson," premiering May 12 on the Style Channel.
Known for her Pippi Longstocking hair, her over-the-top designs and kooky vivacity, Johnson, 70, shares the camera with her daughter, Lulu, in an intimate look at her work and their mother-daughter relationship.
Having overcome breast cancer, Johnson saw her empire — including 63 retail stores — slip into bankruptcy last year. But she remains unbowed as the creative director for her brand, specializing in accessories, swimwear, a dress collection and soon an aerobics line.
Her career began when she won a design contest fostered by Mademoiselle Magazine. The win swept her to London. "That was the summer of '64, mods, rockers, Beatles, Rolling Stones. Everyone was just on the verge.
"It was a whirlwind and we worked on the college issue," she said.
After that she designed a T-shirt made of crocheted material topped with a velvet ribbon. Everyone was surprised when mail orders began pouring in. "I had to go home every night and make four of them and on the weekend had to make 10 of them.
"After 300 yards of fabric, I was done. … I liked doing that, then I realized maybe I'll do my four or five favorite T-shirts and T-shirt, flippy, mini things."
Bob's back
Bob Newhart will guest on "The Big Bang Theory" Thursday. Could it be May sweeps? That's when networks throw all their best stuff on the tube to boost the ratings on which their advertising prices are based.
He's hilarious now, but the noble Newhart said that when he started out he was terrible. "I could do monologues, but was not good in sketches, that was the problem with variety shows because I populated my monologues with people that I imagined. "They were not an actual person saying the lines. I wasn't good at stand-up."
No one was more surprised than he when his album "The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart" hit it big in 1960.
"The trouble was I started at the top and had to learn my craft in reverse," he said. "It took a lot of bluff and bravado when you were actually terrified."
Are you game?
Whom would you trust most, a used-car salesman, an annuity broker, a real estate salesman with a track of desert land? Well, how about a game-show host?
D.L. Hughley and Michael Ian Black have signed on the make you do just that with the new game show, "Trust Me, I'm a Game Show Host" for TBS.
The two hosts will do their best to fool the show's contestants with bizarre tales that may or may not be true. The contestant who figures out who's lying takes home the loot. The show is produced by that Midas of the reality world, Mark Burnett, and airs sometime later this year.

The Wright State women's basketball team trailed by just four with five minutes remaining in the first half before the Memphis offense exploded for a 109-68 decision Saturday afternoon at Elma Roane Fieldhouse.
After Ivory James scored the first two points of the contest, Memphis tallied the next 12 and led 27-13 before the Raiders rallied back with a 12-3 run over a 2:20 span, a run that saw KC Elkins and Kim Demmings each hit two three-pointers, to only trail 30-25 with 10:10 remaining in the first half.
WSU closed to within three on three occasions and was only down four with five minutes to play in the half before the Tigers went on a 7-0 run and took a 53-44 halftime lead.
Both teams shot the ball well in the opening 20 minutes as Memphis shot 51 percent overall and was six of 11 from three-point range while Wright State hit for 48 percent, including eight of 13 from behind the arc.
The Tigers, though, continued their hot shooting into the second half as they scored 24 of the first 29 points in the period and gradually built on the lead from there as they shot 55 percent for the game compared to 37 percent for the Raiders.
The 109 points are the most scored by a Wright State opponent since Miami defeated the Raiders 110-69 in Millett Hall on December 7, 2002.
WSU had three in double figures as James and Elkins each had 14 and Demmings 13.
Nicole Dickson led Memphis (9-5) with 34 points, 25 in the first half, while Ariel Hearn had 14 and Bilqis Abdul-Qaadir added 11.
Wright State (6-7) is right back on the road next week to open Horizon League play, facing Milwaukee on Thursday, January 10, at 8:00 Eastern followed by Green Bay on Saturday, January 12, at 1:00 Dayton time.

First Look: Affordable Marchessa at JCPenney? Be Still Our Fashion-Loving Hearts!
Who wouldn't love to have a Marchessa gown in their wardrobe? Now you can—without breaking the bank, thanks to JCPenney!
-Lucia Peters
When it was announced last Thursday that Marchessa was launching a new, affordable line with JCPenney, we thought that we wouldn't get to see it until March 1. But guess what? The line dropped early! Bettys, meet Pearl by Georgina Chapman of Marchessa!
With a price range of $50 to $250, these pieces are a heck of a lot more wallet-friendly than the Marchessa looks that regular grace the red carpet of events like the Oscars. Said Georgina Chapman herself about the collection, "I have really enjoyed this challenge. It's amazing what Penney's can achieve at a price point. There's corsetry involved, beautiful laces, beautiful prints." The line is full of special occasion gowns, prom dresses (what teenager wouldn't want to be able to say she's wearing Marchessa to her prom?), and party dresses.
Check out a couple of our favorite pieces up next!

How can I update OTA ?
I can't find it ?
This won't work if you are jailbroken.
That sucks !
Bummer! Only for iPhone 5's. I guess that makes sense...I would love to have visual voicemail on my 4s, though.
Apparently T-Mobile pulled the support page; I guess the carrier update is delayed for some reason.
For those of you who has Jailbroken iPhone 5. Don't hit the "Update" button in iTunes thinking it will only do a carrier update. The carrier update is not even available anywhere (iTunes or OTA). I guess we will just have to wait...
sorry guys.. i guess this is not the carrier update as thought. please dont use this. i thought it was the t-mobile official update as it was dated april 5th, 2003.
Maybe they just put this,
T-Mobile iPhone or any officially unlocked GSM iPhone
Latest iOS software version
Device software is not jailbroken
50% battery life or connected to a power source
Data connection or a computer with iTunes and internet access
Minimum of 1 MB available memory (File size of update is ~10 KB)"
so people would update just so they can get all these features. May not be true as some have successfully tried.
installed on jbd ip4
the carrier package is removable in the general settings
added 2 things to my homescreen
-"mobilelife" app
-"get myaccount" shortcut to tmobile my account app in the appstore
both of these were deletable which I did
cell data changed to epc.t-mobile.com i had it blank previously, still working fine...
i think it changed my mms setting?
tested sending mms and it failed twice
visual voicemail wasnt coming up for me
Visual voicemail didnt even work for me.

Penn State's Matt Brown knows he must let it go, but disappointments aren't so easy to forget.
One takedown or one escape and it could have been a reversal of future a double-double an individual NCAA wrestling title to go with a team title.
The former Cyprus High School star came up just one point short in a gripping overtime match at the NCAA wrestling championships last week in Des Moines, Iowa.
He lost to Oklahoma State's Chris Perry in the finals. The match went into overtime before Perry finally prevailed with a 2-1 win.
There is determination in defeat for Brown. You don't become a three-time state high school champion by becoming complacent. He's coming off a sophomore season with a 29-5 record and helped his team win its third straight NCAA wrestling championship.
"My goal was to win the Big Ten and a national championship," he said in a tone of disappointment. "But we needed all of those points to clinch the title, and that helps to know that everyone had to contribute for us to win the team title."
After becoming one of the top wrestling prospects in Utah, Brown took off two years to serve an LDS mission before arriving in Happy Valley last year. He posted a 27-2 record as freshman, a remarkable feat for a guy who took a two-year conditioning break from the sport.
Brown's success has not been limited to the wrestling room. In addition to earning All-American honors, he earned an Academic All-Big Ten honors and earned the NCAA Elite 89 Award as the nation's top Division I student athlete thanks to a 3.9 overall GPA.
After getting half a week off, Brown already is preparing to upgrade a silver to a gold.
When asked if he was satisfied with his season, Brown hesitated before finally answering.
"I guess I am," he said. "I got better throughout the year. I lost to some guys earlier in the year that I came back and beat in the postseason. That shows our coaches did a good job of helping me improve, but it's just really disappointing to lose in overtime.
"I have to let it go. It's in the past and I can't change that. I just have to work hard in the offseason. I'm not going to change anything for next year, nothing except the outcome."

Hey Guys I am a web designer on a hard(very, very hard) quest to make a similar site to Amazon/ebay.
I have been looking it up and i realise how hard it is going to be, but one way or another i have to do it.I will be making it using PHP, MySQL. I am pretty good with HTML and CSS. I have little experience with PHP.
Right now i am reading and applying methods from - Build Your Own Database Driven Web Site Using PHP & MySQLI aim to make an ecommerce site first and then carry on with that.
I am not expecting all of my answers from one source.However, i am willing to bring all the bits and pieces together and make this happen.
I need all the help i can get! Thanks!!
I'd learn to walk before you can run.
The biggest issue with a site the size of Amazon/ebay is just that - the sheer size of the things. Writing a website that can scale to the number of users who are simultaneously connecting to the site is a major technical challenge in its own right. On top of that you'll need to know how to write code that can scale in terms of being able to add new features without breaking stuff etc...
To do something on the scale of Amazon would take a large team of very skilled and very experienced programmers a long time and a lot of money to make.
In terms of the basic functionality and not taking scaling into account, some of the functionality itself could be mirrored to an extent, but realistically if you're just starting out you want to be setting your target far lower to learn the basics first.
Ok, makes sense.
What would you recommend i start with?
In terms of a project to work with? Hard to say - perhaps think of something you're interested in and make something around that?
I started by making a site (no longer online as this was 6/7 years ago now) that allowed people to play leagues on an online football game. It required user registration, user login, and automatically updated the football tables depending on the scores people posted. I did that because I enjoyed the game. Is there anything you can think of in a similar vein that might be interesting for you?
If not then I'd suggest at least making a site that has user registration + user login, as that'd teach you about sessions and stuff like that. Then I dunno, think about stuff you find interesting. Perhaps do a to-do list that allows you to login, set dates for things and will email you to remind you about upcoming things or something like that?
Don't do anything massively complicated as you're just learning for now. The stuff I've mentioned above will teach you plenty to get going
I really want to be able to make an ecommerce site. Where i sell items, and users log in, i can save their details if they like.Basically a fully functioning ecommerce site.
May seem like something really complicated but this is where i would like to start off.
Perhaps start here: http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/tools-and-tips/so-you-want-to-accept-credit-cards-online/
I am not just gonna jump in and try to master an ecommerce site.I would just like to know what i need to learn and which languages i will be using
The above link provides you with a means to actually handle money - you definitely won't be writing code that will actually process money yourself (you'll always be using a third party service of some variety for that).
You can do this all in php and html/css/javascript. You'll need to know how to do things like sessions in php and how to read/write to and from a database.
I would actually recommend creating a user login area that restricts what users who are logged in can and can't see first, and then take it from there. That will teach you about sessions and stuff like that.
In terms of learning php itself, there's loads of resources online. Nettuts is good.
Here's a couple of good articles on there: http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/php/the-best-way-to-learn-php/http://net.tutsplus.com/articles/web-roundups/25-resources-to-get-you-started-with-php-from-scratch/
Avoid w3schools btw. People keep recommending it on here, and it's crap.
So, basically you want to learn to create a website starting with the Amazon website.I have to say it: you're doing it wrong!
First question: how did you get this "quest to make a similar site to Amazon/ebay"?Why do you need this? Is it a personal challenge, a company test or what?(I doubt a serious company could give you such a task, without mocking you)
Second Q: You say you're a web-designer. Why do you want to change your path?First, being a programmer is way different than being a designer.Second, you cannot do both. You have to focus on something.
Update // The signature of aaarrrggh - http://www.phptherightway.com - is a great resource to check what you should learn.
Thanks aarghh i will be checking them out!
@vectorialpx. I have some really good ideas for business and i need to put them into practice.
I really want to learn developing as well.I realise that i may have to do a few websites during the proccess however i am willing to do so.
During my research i was recommended a few different "paths"
1.from scratch2. Php framework3. Php scripts
I have some idea of what these are.However i am not too sure of the advantages and disadvantages of them. Especially for what i am aiming to do..Any help?
Thanks a lot for the answers guys!
Ow yes i have used w3schools before. Weren't too happy with them.But why would you say they are "crap" ?
Php scripts will be entire libraries or even blocks of functionality that you can (in theory) use. I wouldn't recommend going down this route unless you know what you're doing, because there are far more poorly written scripts out there than good ones. You'll end up with an incoherent mess quite quickly if you just attempt to stick a bunch of scripts together.
From scratch is obvious - just write stuff yourself from the ground up.
Frameworks are a different thing altogether - there are many frameworks, but generally the principle is the same - they tend to have lots of (usually well written) code that helps you from having to re-write stuff that happens a lot in general web applications, and leave you to write only the code that is unique to your application. So for example, you may use some of their code to deal with user permissions and user authentication, without having to re-invent the wheel and write it all from scratch yourself.
However, with Frameworks comes a learning difficulty (all frameworks are different, although most generally follow what is called the MVC (model view controller) pattern. You will also generally need to know how to write Object Oriented code before you really start working with a framework.
So generally, I'd recommend starting by writing from scratch to get the hang of the language. You will make mistakes. You will find your code becomes hard to change over time and stuff may stop working. You'll find sometimes you'll change something somewhere and it'll break something somewhere else that you hadn't anticipated. All this stuff is good for you though because you'll start to learn what things work well and what don't, and over time I'd recommend THEN moving to a modern framework such as the Zend Framework or Symfony 2.
Don't expect to get rich by making your first website. You'll make mistakes on your first site and you'll almost certainly scrap it in the future when you start to get better (if you persevere).
As Victorialpx mentioned above, a good resource is http://www.phptherightway.com take a look at that for some good advice and starting points too.
Easier to just send you here: http://w3fools.com/
It's easily possible for one person to create all of the code required to run a site like Amazon. That's the beauty of dynamic web content. In essence you're just writing a set of rules and tools that connect to data in a database which is managed by the user base. This is very common place on web forums such as Sitepoint. Make no mistake about the amount of work that it is, but it's definitely doable and don't let anyone out there tell you that it can't be done. However one valid point is that when a site gets as big as Amazon or Facebook cheap and easy web hosting solutions simply can't keep up. But if you ever make a website that is so big and busy that you can't power it on a $100/month hosting package chances are that you are making enough money to pay server experts to manage the server/hardware/cloud aspect of it for you.
I suggest you write your own PHP based forum software. That will teach you how to let users create their own accounts and the kind of issues that arise from allowing the public to access your database. Plus if you ever make it to the point where you are doing Ecommerce then you will need some kind of ticket support based system anyways, in which case you'll already have your own custom support forums already built.
I've actually built a website very similar to Facebook in functionality a few years ago, it took me about 6 months but it had all of the same features minus the "app" system. With enough determination and time I'm confident you could pull it off.
It can't be done. You don't know what you're talking about.
Easy? No!Posible? Yes... by your own, assuming you are a good programmer, in 1 or 2 years.It's not about the code, it's about the concept, specifications, details.Some teams take one month or more to talk about a single feature.Assuming that you will copy the entire concept, by then, Amazon will change so much you will not even know what you're doing
Well, I don't want to discourage you but, being a designer, you could handle the design and take a coder friend to help you with the PHP part. You don't have to learn PHP just to accomplish one project.
Now, if you insist to change your path, noone can stop you just do it.Install a WAMP server and start typing code.
Good luck!
Please, go on. Why couldn't it be done?
Well just to clarify, I'm assuming the OP doesn't want to copy Amazon verbatim. But he wants a site similar to it. Obviously there will be challenges both on the coding front as well on the design and layout of how all the components work but it is "EASY" in the sense that it's not like he's inventing anything new. Creating a site that is "like" another site is just re-inventing the wheel. It's just about time and follow through.
Sorry to inject a note of sanity in here, but don't forget that for Amazon, their website accounts for probably less than 1% of their workload. Setting up and running the website is trivially easy in comparison with sourcing the products for sale and distributing them!
If what you're looking for is more along the Amazon Marketplace model, that's going to be quite a different proposition, and is a whole lot more technically and legally challenging, although obviously you won't have the same infrastructure needs.
If what you're looking for is more along the Amazon Marketplace model, that's going to be quite a different proposition, and is a whole lot more technically and legally challenging, although obviously you won't have the same infrastructure needs.
Amazon, as far as I understand is a lot like ebay in the sense that Amazon doesn't source much if any products at all. Instead they permit people like you or I to list products of our own in their database, and they act as the big digital market middle man, just like Ebay minus the auctioning. But if that's not how Amazon works, then you would be quite correct that the real work load of Amazon is the inventory management, but that's not what the user is asking about, he's just asking about creating a website that functions similar to Amazon, which I personally don't believe is a "massive" challenge, it's a lot of work, I'm not denying that, but it's certainly doable by one person who is determined.

Anderson Lumber Company sometime early Thursday morning and escaped with loot estimated at $2,000.00. The robbery was discovered Thursday morning when Clarence Hickel ami Elmer Christenson arrived for work. When they entered the office, they saw at a glance that something was amiss as papers were strewn i.iiom the floor, the safe was open attfl the cash register was missing. They at once called Dave Triggs, manager oi the yard, who in turn notified the sheriff of the robbery. Entry was gained through the large back door in the lumber room, and as the door from the oftiee to the other building is never locked, they had little trouble in entering.. The safe was unlocked which gave them easy access to a small amount of currency. $500 worth of checks, and a collection of old coins belonging to Mr. Triggs, which he valued at well over $100. A new cash register, containing a small amount of money and a note for $900 was also taken. The note was the property of Mr. Triggs. In addition to this they also took an adding machine, typwriter, 20 saws, 50 butcher knives and a number of small tools from a display rack. It was quite evident that they had worked in the dark as two one-dollar hills laid In front of the safe on top of a pile of papers. All the drawers in the desk had been emptied and also those on the counter. Sheriff Johnson of Walker was called by Deputy Clyde Townsend, and investigated the robbery the same morning. No definite information has been divulged but it is thought that someone familiar with the building may have engineered the job. The loss was not covered by insurance.

(With a little hard work by all contestants, next week's tally sheet may hold another surprise for you. This is a message to every resident of Pine River and trade territory whether he or she is a subscriber to the Journal or not It is of prime importance to all who desire to materially increase their income and bolus particular interest for anyone who is ambitious to earn a nice sum of cash. In fact it is of interest to every citizen of Pine River trade territory. A better newspaper means a better representation for Pine River. Newspapers always teil the surrounding territory what the town is doing, the business section, the town's improvements, its activities and its worth- whileness. The newspaper is the barometer of the town. Poor newspapers are seldom printed in good towns, just as good newspapers can't be printed In poor towns- Pine River is a good town and must have a good newspaper. It can't be good without your help. Since the Journal has been improved we believe it deserves a widened circulation. We hope you think so too. The present campaign will be a sort of get-acquainted move. The people of Pine River and vicinity will undoubtedly be interested in this improvement project of their local paper. Frankly, the object of the campaign is to increase the list of subscribers - to the Journal. But at the same time the paper will be able to make a sub- satntial contribution to the business life of the community by assisting in the distribution of a considerable amount of money. Iu helping itself the Journal will be able to help a number of citizens living in this territory, and working for new subscribers. "A Journal in every home" is the slogan of our goodwill campaign workers for the next few weeks. It is the aim of the paper to double its subscription list. The Journal wants everybody living in this vicinity to get a copy of the Journal each Friday. The paper has for a number of years played its part in making Pine River a more attractive place to live and trade in. A greater circulation will give merchants a more effective advertising medium. If I'ine River is to prosper, the merchants must reach all of the people living in the com-; munity by some means. The Journal is the surest, most economical way. John Hunter, and Mr. and Mrs- Harry Dubois und sons of Cedar Rapids, Ia. Mrs. Hunter and Mr. Dubois are sister and brother of Mrs. Fields. The Passtime Club met at the home of Mrs. Eldon Basore Wednesday of last week. Donations of quilt blocks were made.

So the iPad mini is going to look just like a Galaxy Tab?
HHmmmm..... Now who is copying who?
Apple finally acquiescing to consumer demand at last.
Welcome to reality, Apple.
Could have told them this four years ago.
OK, now that you're listening, Apple - add a 5.5" iphone to your 'line-up' (such as it is) and admit that it's YOU that serves the market ... not the reverse.
The same stubborn tenacity that made Steve Jobs great has hurt Apple by allowing other companies to capitalise on the enormous market for larger (and now smaller) screens, free from iOS competition.
"Grubers analysis ultimately concludes that the iPad mini will likely have the same resolution and pixel density of the original iPad and iPad 2, while..."
This statement is contradictory. Reports have said the iPad mini would have the same number of pixels as the original iPad and iPad 2 (1024x768 ) but these pixels would be fit into a 7 inch screen instead of 9.7 inches. This would mean the iPad mini would have a higher pixel density than the original iPad.
At a 7" size, I like the bezel on my nook tablet as it helps to hold it without getting my fingers on the screen.
I must have missed the memo that Apple actually "confirmed" an iPad mini...but I guess "sources that have reason to believe" is good enough for you people.
Big Brother, I mean Steve knew best!!
Well, its fun talking about things like these... who knows? Maybe it will come true if Apple sees how excited people are about it.
Well, they did things we never imagined before, so let them surprise us. They can't deny that there is a market for it already. they just have to join in on the fun


text: Over the weekend Lil Wayne said at a show that he slept with the now wife of Miami Heat center Chris Bosh. The woman at the center of the controversy, Adrienne Bosh (above), has chosen to ignore the whole thing which kind of shows you right there that she did sleep with Lil Wayne. She was not married at the time so I didn't really care. Until now. It turns out that not only did she sleep with Lil Wayne, but they were an item and that she convinced him that she had cancer and needed lots of money for treatment which he gave to her. Yeah, she didn't have cancer, but did pick up $10K. Pretty cheap cancer treatment. She then left his life, never to return until now.

Sabrina fair
Twenty years hence my eyes may grow
Sabrina fair
Safe where I cannot die yet
Say, crimson Rose and dainty Daffodil
Say not the struggle naught availeth
Says Tweed to Till
Scorn not the Sonnet; Critic, you have frown'd
Seamen three! What men be ye
Seas are quiet when the winds give o'er
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness
See how the flowers, as at parade
See the Chariot at hand here of Love
See where she sits upon the grassie greene
See with what simplicity
See yon blithe child that dances in our sight
Sense with keenest edge unusèd
Seven weeks of sea, and twice seven days of storm
Shall I compare thee to a Summer's day
Shall I strew on thee rose or rue or laurel
Shall I thus ever long, and be no whit the neare
Shall I, wasting in despair
She beat the happy pavèment
She dwelt among the untrodden ways
She fell away in her first ages spring
She is not fair to outward view
She knelt upon her brother's grave
She pass'd away like morning dew
She 's somewhere in the sunlight strong
She stood breast-high amid the corn
She walks in beauty, like the night
She walksthe lady of my delight
She was a phantom of delight
She was a queen of noble Nature's crowning
She who to Heaven more Heaven doth annex
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
Shut not so soon; the dull-eyed night
Since all that I can ever do for thee
Since first I saw your face I resolved to honour and renown ye
Since I noo mwore do zee your feäce
Since there 's no help, come let us kiss and part
Sing his praises that doth keep
Sing lullaby, as women do
Sister, awake! close not your eyes
Sleep, sleep, beauty bright
Softly, O midnight Hours
Some vex their souls with jealous pain
Soote season, that bud and bloom forth brings
So shuts the marigold her leaves
Sound, sound the clarion, fill the fife
So, we'll go no more a-roving
Spacious firmament on high
Splendour falls on castle walls
Spring, the sweet Spring, is the year's pleasant king
Stand close around, ye Stygian set
Star that bids the Shepherd fold
Stay, O sweet and do not rise
Steer, hither steer your wingèd pines
Stern Daughter of the Voice of God
Still do the stars impart their light
Still let my tyrants know, I am not doom'd to wear
Still to be neat, still to be drest
Strange fits of passion have I known
Strew on her roses, roses
Sublimeinvention ever young
Sumer is icumen in
Summer set lip to earth's bosom bare
Sun descending in the west
Sun rises bright in France
Sure thou didst flourish once! and many springs
Surprised by joyimpatient as the Wind
Swallow, my sister, O sister swallow
Sweet are the rosy memories of the lips
Sweet, be not proud of those two eyes
Sweet day, so cool, so calm, so bright
Sweet Echo, sweetest Nymph that liv'st unseen
Sweetest Saviour, if my soul
Sweet in her green dell the flower of beauty slumbers
Sweet rois of vertew and of gentilness
Sweet Spring, thou turn'st with all thy goodly train
Sweet western wind, whose luck it is
Swiftly walk o'er the western wave
Take, O take those lips away
Tarye no lenger; toward thyn heritage
Tell me not of a face that 's fair
Tell me not what too well I know
Tell me not, Sweet, I am unkind
Tell me where is Fancy bred
Thank Heaven! the crisis
That time of year thou may'st in me behold
That which her slender waist confined
That zephyr every year
Thee too, modest tressèd maid
Then hate me when thou wilt; if ever, now
There ance was a may, and she lo'ed na men
There are two births; the one when light
There be none of Beauty's daughters
There is a garden in her face
There is a Lady sweet and kind
There is a mountain and a wood between us
There is a silence where hath been no sound
There is sweet music here that softer falls
There lived a wife at Usher's well
There 's a glade in Aghadoe, Aghadoe, Aghadoe
There 's a whisper down the field where the year has shot her yield
There 's a woman like a dewdrop, she 's so purer than the purest
There's not a nook within this solemn Pass
There was a time when meadow, grove, and stream
There were three ravens sat on a tree
There were twa sisters sat in a bour
They all were looking for a king
They are all gone into the world of light
They are waiting on the shore
They flee from me that sometime did me seek
They seem'd, to those who saw them meet
They that have power to hurt and will do none
They told me, Heraclitus, they told me you were dead
Thirsty earth soaks up the rain
This ae nighte, this ae nighte
This hinder yeir I hard be tald
This is a spray the Bird clung to
This little vault, this narrow room
This winter's weather it waxeth cold
Thou art to all lost love the best
Though beauty be the mark of praise
Thou still unravish'd bride of quietness
Thou youngest virgin-daughter of the skies
Three years she grew in sun and shower
Through grief and through danger thy smile hath cheer'd my way
Through the black, rushing smoke-bursts
Throw away Thy rod
Thus the Mayne glideth
Thus when the silent grave becomes
Thy bosom is endearèd with all hearts
Thy restless feet now cannot go
Thy soul within such silent pomp did keep
Tiger, tiger, burning bright
Time is the feather'd thing
Tis a dull sight
To all you ladies now at land
To-day, all day, I rode upon the down
To fair Fidele's grassy tomb
To live within a caveit is most good
To me, fair friend, you never can be old
To mute and to material things
To my true king I offer'd free from stain
To-night retired, the queen of heaven
Too late for love, too late for joy
Too solemn for day, too sweet for night
Tossing his mane of snows in wildest eddies and tangles
To the Ocean now I fly
To these whom death again did wed
True Thomas lay on Huntlie bank
Trust thou thy Love: if she be proud, is she not sweet
Twas on a lofty vase's side
Twas the dream of a God
Twentieth year is wellnigh past
Twenty years hence my eyes may grow

Mean Betty on Anne Hathaway's Ultimate Ex Revenge
Anne Hathaway's scum of an ex, Raffaello Follieri, has just been deported. Mean Betty says, hoorah!
-Mean Betty
Kittens, have you ever suffered from a heartbreak so complete that you felt certain you would never love again? What caused it? Was it infidelity? Meanie has certainly been there. But what if it was something else? Say, something criminal? Something perhaps unrelated to the relationship, but which was so terrible that there would be no way for the relationship to continue? Meanie (luckily, perhaps) hasn't been there, but she knows someone who has: The magnificent Anne Hathaway. But today, let Meanie congratulate Anne on getting moving beyond her heartbreak to a fabulous life with a wonderful career and a loving fiancé—as well as for being able to celebrate the ultimate ex revenge: Her scheming ex boyfriend, Raffaello Follieri, has just been deported from good old US of A. Break out the champagne let's get that party started!
For those of you not in the know, gather round, kittens (bring your mimosas), for this is quite the story indeed. Once upon a time in 2004, our intrepid heroine—that would be Anne—met a seemingly nice young man named Raffaello Follieri. A businessman, a philanthropist, Italian and therefore with a positively delicious accent: Rafaello was everything a girl could want in a potential suitor!… or so it appeared. For you see, Raffaello, a real estate developer, had developed a Manhattan-based charity called the Follieri Foundation in 2003. This foundation allegedly focused on doing such good works as providing vaccinations for children in Third World nations. A worth cause, no? Anne certainly thought so, and subsequently, she herself served on the foundation's board of directors until 2007. But in June of 2008, the IRS had begun looking into the organization; it seems that it had somehow overlooked the important step of filing the tax papers required by all non-profit organizations. This, understandably, prompted Anne to end her relationship with Raffaello. What if the repercussions from the investigation affecting her own career? Meanie certainly can't blame her, especially as the relationship already appeared to be under strain.
Read Mean Betty: Should Will Smith Have Slapped That Kissy-Faced Reporter?
Poor Anne! Meanie did so want to treat her to a nice martini or two or five to help her get over her heartbreak. But it turned out that Anne cut ties with Raffaello not a moment too soon: He was arrested on June 24, 2008. The charge? Fraud. Raffaello, you see, had apparently taken several would-be investors in the Follieri Foundation for millions of dollars by posing as the Vatican's point man on real estate investing. Known as the Vati-Con scandal, this piece of wrong-doing—which included the triple crimes of conspiracy, wire fraud, and money laundering—cost Raffaello four and a half years in prison. Our darling Anne, happily, was not charged with any sort of crime related to the scandal; indeed, during this time she began producing her best work to date, culminating in her Oscar nomination for 2008's Rachel Getting Married (which, by the way, is a superb film).
And now, four and a half years later, Rafaello has been released from the Federal prison in Pennsylvania in which he was serving his time… and has promptly been deported back to Italy. In fact, a representative for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement has even confirmed it to TMZ: "ICE carried out the order of an immigration judge," the representative said, "and removed Follieri from the United States May 25, 2012."
Anne is no doubt a better person than Meanie and most likely feels some sorrow at the plight of her former loved one. Therefore, let Meanie express the appropriate response for her: Hallelujah! The evil-doer has gotten his just desserts, and Meanie is fairly certain they don't taste of tiramisu. Furthermore, let us allow Anne's tale to stand as an example to all of the slighted men and women out there. We may look upon it in two ways: 1) No matter how badly your relationship ended, at least your former significant other didn't steal $50 millions' worth of charity money—something in which one can find comfort; or 2) Broken heart? No problem! Just have the two-timing bastard deported and all will be well!
Meanie, of course, is joking about the second option… well, mostly, at least. In the mean time, let us all raise a glass (you too, Butler dear—Meanie knows how much you adore dear Anne) to Anne Hathaway. Broken hearts really do heal; in fact, they often lead to even better things. Hoorah!

Defense Secretary Panetta Discusses Tough Negotiations over Lockheed F-35 Fighters
Shane McGlaun

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
No contract after nearly a year of negotiations
Negotiations between the U.S. government and Lockheed Martin over the $400 billion F-35 Lightning II program have been tense.
Defense News
reports that one deputy program manager said that the relationship between the Department of Defense and Lockheed is "the worst I have ever seen."
After that comment was made, U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta stated, "I don't know that I would portray it in those terms. These are difficult negotiations, as they always are when you're dealing with the amount of money and the complexity that's involved with the Joint Strike Fighter."
Defense News
reports that last week Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton Carter put his support behind comments made by Air Force Major General Christopher Bogdan. Bogdan had harsh words for Lockheed Martin's failure to sign a contract with the Pentagon for 32 F-35 fighters after almost a
year of negotiations
However, Panetta does not agree that the relationship between the U.S. government Lockheed is the worst he's ever seen.

"I don't share it, number one, because … I don't know the history of just how much has gone on in the past," Panetta said. "But at least from what I have seen at this point, my view of it is these are very tough negotiations, but they aren't a reflection that either side has given up or thinks that the other side, you know, is in a more difficult state at all."
Panetta is also reportedly unhappy that Congress won't be back in session until after the elections in November. An initial round of budget cuts in defense spending is set to begin in January. With Congress out of session until the elections are over, there is no chance of avoiding or delaying the defense spending cuts.
Panetta said, "I'll take whatever the hell deal they can make right now to deal with sequestration. The problem now is that they've left town and all of this has now been put off into the lame duck session."
"We need stability," he said. "You want a strong national defense for this country? I need to have some stability. And that's what I'm asking the Congress to do: Give me some stability with regards to the funding of the Defense Department for the future."
Defense News
"Intel is investing heavily (think gazillions of dollars and bazillions of engineering man hours) in resources to create an Intel host controllers spec in order to speed time to market of the USB 3.0 technology." -- Intel blogger Nick Knupffer

Wonder whether they leave the arena with the 17,000 they've sold and hope it looks full or whether they will try give away as many as possible.
How do you think/ will it will effect the type of cards cards we get when they come back next year?

Comments about Womens Vibram FiveFingers KSO Running Shoe:
Your feet will either LOVE them immediately or they are not for you. Great for days off after 12-16 hours on my feet in the hospital. FYI, the blue camo is actually a turquoise color NOT true blue. I use the KSO (keep stuff out) for running, the trek sport for hiking and everyday, and the Komodo for walking and cooler weather.
Best Uses
Comments about Womens Vibram FiveFingers KSO Running Shoe:
I am a 27 year old female and I use the KSO to run at least 2-3 miles about 3 times a week on pavement. I decided to try them because I heard they were low impact on your knees and I was having trouble with knee pain. I was not a dedicated runner before these shoes because I always ended up with shin splints, knee pain, etc... After running in the KSO's for about a year I feel great. It takes quite a while to build up the proper muscles in your calves so be careful! There is a great study by Harvard on barefoot running that gives some good training advice - just google it. Anyway, I have no shin splints, no knee pain and I can run farther than I've been able to since high school. I love these shoes.
Comments about Womens Vibram FiveFingers KSO Running Shoe:
I usually buy my running shoes a half size too big to avoid toe issues. The size I typically buy in regular runners is a 9.5, so that's the size I went with on the sizing chart for these. Following the sizing chart, I got a size 40. They are too short on the left and really gave me problems with my toes and heel. They easily feel to be a half to full size too small. Thankfully RRS has a great return/exchange policy and I can return them for something that fits better!
Best Uses
Comments about Womens Vibram FiveFingers KSO Running Shoe:
These shoes are great for working all the muscles in your feet. They need to be worked into gradually and so you will have to cut back on your original miles if you plan to run or walk in these shoes. Do this for at least the first couple weeks.
Best Uses
Comments about Womens Vibram FiveFingers KSO Running Shoe:
I really love the way these shoes feel like you aren't wearing anything. You can run they way your body was meant to. They do take a lot of getting used to. You run completely differently than you would with regular running shoes. You will also need to drastically reduce your distance until you can build up your calf muscles. There isn't any cushioning but they way you run shouldn't require any.
Best Uses
Comments about Womens Vibram FiveFingers KSO Running Shoe:
I had not run in about two years and wanted to start back this year. I had heard so much about the fivefingers and finally decided to give them a try. Well, much to my surprise, I love them. It's like they were made for my feet. I never had one problem getting into them as my toes automatically spead and went almost right into each whole. The only concern is that they run a little short, however, I judged what size to get by one of the reviews I read, so they aren't bad. My next pair I will just get a size larger. All in all, they are perfect
Best Uses
Comments about Womens Vibram FiveFingers KSO Running Shoe:
These are my first pair of Vibram Five Fingers and I love them! I haven't worn them for running yet because I love my Saucony Hurricanes, but if I know I'm going to do a lot of walking, these are my go-to shoes. They are so comfortable and really protect my feet. I've had them for 4 months and have gotten A LOT of use out of them. They do take a little time to get on. And they don't keep your feet warm in cooler weather. I won't wear these much in the MN winter, but they are staples for the other 3 seasons!

The "touring" Marc Machine
December 26th, 2010 No comments
This is as far as I've got in kitting out the Marc Machine for Australia. New panniers, new racks, handlebar bag, rack top bag – all waterproof – and of course a funky TCR tube attachment. With a bit of practise I should be able to fit the rod together while on the road. In fact I've been very busy; new tent, new sleeping bag and travel books. There's still a lot else to put together and I have yet to organise my flies…

Osprey is 40 years young! I fondly recall the moment I selected "Osprey" for the new company, way back in 1974. At that time this beautiful bird was an endangered species and I thought, if that bird can survive the next few tough years, so can this new company! Like the bird, Osprey Packs has flourished since then, and continues to grow and multiply. Over all these years, we at Osprey have had the pleasure to meet and work with some of the finest, warmest people involved in this wonderful, friendly industry. We are indebted to all of you out there who have supported Osprey along the way, through thick and thin, and have made the last 40 years so fun and rewarding!
-Mike Pfotenhauer, Osprey Packs founder and Head Designer
Since 1974, when Osprey Packs was founded by Mike Pfotenhauer in the front of his rented house in Santa Cruz, California, our mission has been to create innovative high performance gear that reflects our love of adventure and our devotion to the outdoors. We're so honored to be commemorating the 40th anniversary of Osprey Packs — thank you for 40 incredible years!

JTS (Justin T Shockley)/The Set NYC Present New York Fashion Week - The After Party Benefiting: Freedom Ladder.
About Freedom Ladder:
Courage. Power. Inspiration
Our mission is to stop child sex trafficking by interrupting a culture that sexualizes children and regards the human body as a commodity, and to transform that culture into one that treats all people with honor and respect. We use popular vehicles of education and entertainment, such as comic books, to educate at-risk children about the danger of sex trafficking and empower them to protect themselves and live lives of courage, power, and inspiration.
Our current project, ABOLITIONISTA, is a manga comic book with captivating narratives and artwork that responsibly educates children about the dangers of child sex trafficking and empowers them to protect themselves and their peers. We believe that an educated and empowered child is the most practical and immediate deterrent to the atrocity of child sex trafficking.
