Finding the perfect gift for a woman can be tricky. In addition to your budget and her taste, you also have to consider the occasion, as well as how long you have known this particular woman. A birthday gift should feel personal, while an anniversary gift should be a bit lavish. Gifts for female friends or co-workers can be lower in price, and a bit less personalized. Some women love jewelry, while other ladies are foodies who would much rather have a home-cooked meal than a gold necklace. There are gals who love the latest gadgets, and others who prefer knitting or handicrafts. With so many variables in play, finding that perfect gift can take a lot of time. To help you narrow your search, we've curated a list of the very best gifts for women. Our list includes jewelry, perfume, books, music, watches, movies, home goods, and more. We've even thrown in some truly unique items that will be perfect gifts for women who have everything.
Here is our ultimate guide to 101 of the best gifts for women of all ages. Whether you're looking for a small token of your appreciation for an employee, a thoughtful gift for your mom, or a luxurious gift for a major anniversary, one of these unique gifts will suit her perfectly. Gifts on our list start around $5, but we've also included some truly premium gifts for impressing the woman you really care about.

The nationally-regarded Saint Michael's College men's basketball team rallied from 13 points down in the second half before holding off a late Bentley University charge for a 69-66 victory on Saturday during Northeast-10 Conference play in the Ross Sports Center. The teams began the day separated by just one game in the NE-10 Northeast Division Standings, with the Purple Knights claiming third and the Falcons fourth.
At 17-6 overall and 12-6 in the league, the Purple and Gold has posted its highest overall win total since 2000-01 and matched its largest number of conference victories in 13 seasons. Saint Michael's, which is receiving one vote toward this week's National Association of Basketball Coaches' (NABC) national poll, is also 10-2 at home, reaching double figures in wins at the Ross Sports Center for the first time in seven seasons. Bentley slipped to 16-8 and 10-8, losing for the fourth time in seven games.
Junior James Cambronne (De Bary, Fla./The Winchendon School) posted a game-high 18 points for the hosts, going 4-of-9 from three-point range while also collecting eight rebounds and three blocks. Classmate Mike Thompson (Rosedale, N.Y./Christ The King Regional) tacked on 11 points, eight rebounds and three assists, and junior Corey Crawford II (Dover, Del./The Phelps School) had 11 points, five boards and five assists. Classmate Mike Holton Jr. (Portland, Ore./The Winchendon School) notched eight points and three helpers while passing Saint Michael's Athletic Hall of Fame member Bob Toner '74 (1,282) for 20th on the program's scoring list (1,287). First-year Matt Bonds (Accokeek, Md./North Point) snagged seven rebounds as the Purple Knights held Bentley to more than 16 points below their scoring average of 82.7, which was third in the conference.
Junior Keegan Hyland (South Portland, Maine/South Portland) led Bentley with 15 points off the bench, while senior Jasper Grassa (Lynn, Mass./Lynn Classical) totaled 13 points, six rebounds and three assists. Sophomore Tyler McFarland (Rockport, Maine/Cushing Academy) added 12 points and six boards, shooting 4-of-7 from three-point range.
Saint Michael's trailed 40-27 less than two minutes into the second half before junior Dom Ditlefsen (Portland, Ore./Sunset), Thompson and Cambronne all canned triples during a 51-second stretch, and sophomore Greg Grippo (Edison, N.J./Rutgers Prep) knocked down a three with 13:39 remaining to bring his team within 43-42. Bentley pushed its edge back out to seven, at 53-46, with 9:59 left, but a 10-2 spurt that took 1:33 to elapse put the hosts back in front, with Ditlefsen's hoop producing a 56-55 margin. After Bentley scored the next six points, the Purple Knights countered with a 13-0 run, as five straight points during that stretch from Bonds included a go-ahead tip-in at 2:55, and the hosts held a 69-61 lead with 15.7 seconds remaining when Crawford hit two freebies.
However, Grassa made an uncontested lay-up and forced a jump ball, with Bentley gaining possession, before hitting three free throws with 2.1 left, creating a 69-66 score. The Falcons then stole the ensuing inbounds pass at midcourt, but a desperate shot from the circle hit the left side of the backboard as time expired.
The Purple Knights nailed three straight three-pointers during a 2:18 span to grab a 9-3 lead by 16:24 of the opening half, eventually leading 13-6 when Crawford hit a pair of free throws at 12:49. After Saint Michael's held Bentley to a 2-of-12 start from the floor, McFarland knocked down two triples 21 seconds apart to spark a 9-0 run, but Cambronne later drained a three to put the Purple Knights back in front, 18-17, and first-year Zaire Williams' (Paterson, N.J./Newark Academy) steal and breakaway bucket made it 20-17 at 7:40. Crawford nailed a trey at 5:34 to snap another tie, making it 25-22, but Hyland scored six of his points during a 16-0 run that bridged halftime. Bentley took a 33-25 advantage into the locker room.
The Purple Knights hit the road for two of their final three regular-season games this winter, beginning with a Wednesday contest at Assumption College at 7:30 p.m.

EU to probe online data traffic management
A reader sent me an article that was posted on the Financial Times this week. Because the article is for subscribers only, I'll share some quotes:
"Regulators are to launch the first pan-European investigation into telecoms companies' controversial data traffic management practices, in an attempt to safeguard so-called net neutrality principles."
"The European Commission accepts some traffic management is necessary to avoid congestion on operators' networks. Operators are dealing with an explosion of data traffic, partly because of bandwidth-hungry video services, such as Google's YouTube and the BBC iPlayer."
"Ms Kroes also wants to ensure that fixed-line and mobile operators are not slowing down data traffic in an anti-competitive manner. With many telecoms companies selling television and other video services to customers, she is concerned that throttling could be used by one operator to disrupt a competitor's content."
"She wants operators to commit to a new era of openness about how they "throttle", or slow down, some data traffic or block certain software applications."
"European regulators have so far taken a less prescriptive approach than US watchdogs in the net neutrality debate. This is partly because European consumers have a greater choice of internet service providers compared with their US counterparts."
Tablets cannibalizing TV?
Google Admob did a survey about Tablet usage. 34% of the respondents said they spend more time on their tablet than watch TV. 52% spend more time on their tablet than they listen to radio. The survey presentation can be downloaded (PDF) here.
Actually you can question if tablet usage is actually cannibalizing other consumption or it is simply added. I don't see that much consumers cut the cord on cable, I also don't see TV consumption hours fall, they are still rising. So It looks like tablet usage is primarily cannibalizing non-media activities instead. What I do see is that people still have their radio and TV turned on, but are focussed on their tablet instead. Which is something advertisers should think about. Maybe we will be getting those long-awaited cross-media services after all.

Content Delivery Networks go premium – But it won't be the global CDNs
Content Delivery Networks go premium
But it won't be the global CDNs
Back in the nineties, when the first global content delivery networks (CDN) emerged, their focus was on offloading static content on the Internet. By deploying regional points of presence, these global CDNs could offload traffic from the small and filled up transit links. Global CDNs use the internet to distribute content to their regional hubs, and then 'dump' their traffic into internet service provider (ISP) networks. Which was a great approach for many years: costs went down, performance went up.

Poor Jeb Bush
That's the first thought that pops into your head whenever you see the former Florida governor and current GOP presidential hopeful. Bush has become the sad sack of the crowded Republican field (and this is a group that includes Bobby Jindal).
He is frequently seen with a sympathetic eye as he struggles ever onward in his quest to be relevant to the increasingly picky interests of voters in 2015. But, at the end of the day, Bush is simply the least interesting model in a line of politician that the public vehemently rejected during his brother's disastrous second term.
The hits just keep on coming for Bush, however, and the latest comes in the form of a lackluster endorsement from the perennial presidential loser Bob Dole.
Watch The Endorsement
It is sad to see the effects of age on a man who truly was once an extremely powerful political animal. However, It is clear from the above video that Dole's endorsement is not exactly a song of praise to Bush's many achievements.
His reasons for choosing Bush are vague and he even goes on to say that he likes all of Bush's competitors as well. One has to wonder if such a weak endorsement could truly impact a large number of Republican voters.
History Is Not Written By The Losers
Look, there is a reason that Al Gore and Mitt Romney aren't being inundated with requests for endorsements from GOP candidates. It may sound harsh, but the fact is nobody wants to hear from the losers.
Objectively, Dole is one of those losers. What's worse is that he was something of a meme himself during his runs for The White House. This makes the alignment of these two political pariahs all the more unhelpful for Bush.
Ironically, Dole's endorsement is a sign that Bush's campaign is over rather than a catalyst for its future success.
Poor Jeb Bush indeed.

FUKUSHIMA – The town of Hirono, located about 30 km south of the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant, is exploring the possibility of becoming a community for both its traditional residents and workers at the crippled facility.
Many residents who fled the town have yet to return, even though its designation as an evacuation preparation area was lifted six months after the nuclear crisis started.
Of some 5,000 people registered as residents of Hirono, only 1,352 were actually living there as of Monday. Many of its supermarkets have gone out of business and restaurants remain closed.
However, men in work clothes are a common sight. According to a survey by the municipal government, the number of workers at the plant who live in dormitories or other accommodations in the town came to some 2,500 in October 2013, up sharply from around 1,000 in June 2012.
The owner of a convenience store said that the number of shoppers per day is up 500 from before the disaster and that daily sales have risen 1.5-fold.
Last month, the local government announced plans to launch a project by the end of March to develop land in the northern part of the town as a residential area for people working at Tokyo Electric Power Co.'s nuclear plant.
But at a meeting to discuss the town's reconstruction program, residents were divided over the plan to accept plant workers. One said it would help revitalize the local economy, while another said, "That would make it difficult to let children play outside."
The nuclear plant employees are under a great deal of stress, working amid fears of radiation exposure. At night, drunken workers are sometimes seen quarreling with each other.
An evacuee now living in Iwaki, Fukushima Prefecture, said he is hesitant to return to Hirono. "I am too scared to walk outside at night," said the man, who is in his 60s.
A 43-year-old male worker at the power station meanwhile complained that he and his colleagues are portrayed only in a bad light, even though their efforts to decommission the stricken plant are an important part of the region's reconstruction.


text: CommScope ultra-wideband antennas will help operators prepare for the future07 Feb 2012 06:08 PM New antennas will enable operators to cover legacy GSM, CDMA and UMTS systems while adding LTE when it is introducedCommScope has introduced a new family of ultra-wideband base station antennas designed to help mobile operators cover existing radio spectrum, while preparing for bandwidth growth and additional radio spectrum availability in the future. It will allow operators to deploy just one antenna rather than several to cover the different radio spectrums.The CommScope high-bandwidth (HW) family of ultra-wideband base station antennas, which are available immediately, provide a future-proof antenna solution for the 1710-2690MHz frequency range that is ideal for supporting additional licensed frequencies that are not currently available.The HW ultra-wideband base station antennas are available in three different configurations of two, four or six dual-polarization radiating arrays under a single radome. According to the company, the forward-looking design of the HW family provides a unique set of benefits, including:• Superior, repeatable electrical performance from every unit• Potentially higher spectral efficiency through 100% passive intermodulation (PIM) testing performed on all base station antennas, contributing to system-wide noise containment• Design features that yields twice the bandwidth of typical high-band antennas• Small physical footprint for deployment in areas with highly restrictive zoning• Consolidated design that can lead to fewer antennas and lower-cost deploymentsEach antenna in the HW family can be deployed in a variety of 2G, 2.5G, 3G and 4G environments, including LTE, UMTS, CDMA, GSM, and WiMAX. Operators can upgrade or switch to different technologies or frequencies as their needs change.Phil Sorsky, VP Europe at CommScope told Wireless: 'It is very difficult to produce an ultra-wideband antenna, but we think ours solves one of the big challenges facing operators today. They are looking to refresh their networks and they want to be LTE compliant, but they are not necessarily sure which frequency they will be using yet.'But operators have to consider the cost of adding new antennas as new spectrum becomes available and that means considering more rental to site owners, wind loading issues and planning permission. What we've done with the new antennas is come up with a solution that removes the planning application and wind load issue, as externally, to all intents and purposes, it is the same as a legacy 3G antenna. It serves the legacy 3G user base, as well as wide range of frequencies to come in the future,' he said.Kevin Linehan, VP and CTO, Antenna Systems at CommScope added: 'There has been a trend towards broadband antennas from the relatively narrowband 1G to the broadband 2G and 3G. The typical antenna now is 1700MHz to 2100MHz – even that was a challenge – and now we are adding the LTE band in 2600MHz, so that's an even bigger challenge - ultra-wide broadband. We've gone from covering a 25% bandwidth to a 40% bandwidth. The other challenge is that as it is replacing the legacy 2G and 3G systems, when you extend the bandwidth you cannot change the physical parameters of the existing antennas covering existing customers or they'll get dropped calls. We've got to carefully design the antenna to maintain existing performance and extend it.'CommScope has produced two ultra-wide broadband antennas: one to cover the lowband spectrum of 700MHz-900MHz and the other to cover the highband 2.6GHz spectrum. 'We have a lowband version for the USA to cover 700MHz and in Europe we have extended the lowband antenna to cover 800MHz for LTE,' said Linehan, adding: 'We are also working on a global antenna, but that is an even bigger challenge as it has to cover 45%-50% bandwidth.'Philip Sorrells, VP site solutions at CommScope said: 'All the operators have spent millions of dollars building their networks. What the ultra-wideband is about is looking forward to applications in 2690MHz for operators who may still also want to operate a GSM and UMTS system at the same time. It is a toolkit that will allow them to operate in any of those frequencies.'Every CTO in nearly every mobile operator in the world is asking how they can provide enough capacity to meet projected demand. All the new frequency bands and air interfaces that are being added are about helping operators have enough network capacity to drive their business of adding subscribers and adding more lucrative subscription packages for their businesses,' said Sorrells.Wireless magazineLeave a CommentPlease write code to prove you're humanMore on... 5GSK Telecom, Ericsson and BMW clock up fastest 5G speed for connected carMWC 2017: Zinwave to unveil new in-building wireless solutionsMore on...

Mini-rant, why do guys at VO quote things over 6 months old from the wikia. We just had weatheroid pulled up from the Status page as a example of how we work; except she was deleted from that page several months back. I think its still got a page but thats because its not been deleted or we're holding information to just say what the subject is kinda like with Meaw.
Okay we make mistakes, but quoting something thats not even there kinda is really odd... O_O
