|Need Help??
Looking out of the window this Halloween, I stare out throught the lightning into the vicous rain storm and see approaching the house, a black cowled visitor. The lone visitor appears to be carrying a box of some sort and I realise that for once we must have a trick or treater (our house is set back from the main road by a long drive so this is rare).
So I walk around to the front door and answer, preparing to refuse to dole out sweeties, and the visitor removes his hood and offers to sell me poppies ;)

Anything that has been put together WILL at some point fall apart.. doesn't matter how advanced something is.. this rule will always apply..
These ufos that you re referring to could be man made...operated by men. UFO does not mean alien!
I always factor in other conspiracies, like that perhaps as old as this planet is, with its strange past of advance civilizations, it has to do with something in our atmosphere perhaps, something that screws with their gear, that any EBE decided to visit earth is warned by there own people that its a high risk endeavor and that they are on there own.
If we believe that aliens are really beings from another dimension, then I wonder if their craft would have trouble operating in lower dimensions. Proceed at your own risk.

From Hastings, Nebraska, USA:
My 10 year old son has had type 1 diabetes since he was 18 months old and just recently started giving his own shots -- we are very proud! He is very thin and gives his shot in the arm and thighs. He has noticed when he bends his arm it feels tight or stiff in the area were it has been built up with insulin. What can we do to help with the build up or the stiffness?
Congratulations on your son's success at administration! This is a typical time when children want (and need) some degree of independence. But a word of caution: sometimes, if given too much latitude, when these youngsters are teens, they've grown accustomed to "self-reliance" and often get "too proud" to ask for parental help and glucose readings can go haywire with puberty. So encourage this positive step but be certain to let him know that you want to continue to supervise and be there for him.
As for the tightness and stiffness, I can't tell from your description, but this sounds a bit like lipoatrophy, which usually causes "lumps and bumps" at injection sites used too often. Essentially, a kind of "scar" forms within the fat tissue under the skin. Kids prefer to use those same sites as it often is associated with less discomfort, but insulin absorption can be less smooth. An easy approach would be to try to rotate the injection sites to include the arms, legs, abdomen, and hips. You can still use the arms, but try to avoid the "tight" spots. Even thin children tend to have enough tissue under the skin to pinch up a bit for an injection. Sometimes, young persons are fearful of the abdominal injections, but usually, those spots hurt less than the arms or thighs. A great spot is an area along the back of hip, near the butt. Your son's diabetes nurse can review "shot-spots" with him and you.

String Machene
A String Machene?
A unique hand crafted musical instrument, a "drone" instrument. It has 6 tuneable strings with an electric motor for each one. The motors spin star shaped 'disks', made from felt, that' brush' the strings to make them vibrate. Matching the speed of the motor and the frequency of the string will result in a continuous tone. Each motor is positioned above a string and is controlled by adjusting the height, making more or less contact with the string. All 6 motors share the same power supply so they draw power from each other depending on the amount of wok they do. This way the motors and the strings interact and function as a single system.
As the motors and the strings go in and out of 'phase', it causes individual strings to sound in pulses of loud, quiet or not at all. Playing a String Machene is an interesting experience, it is a very sensitive instrument and can sometimes react in a surprising way to the smallest of adjustments, making it seem almost alive with a tonal agenda of its own. If left alone it will constantly change, morphing in and out of oddly harmonic structures, rhythmic interludes, single notes and wispering tones.

Logo Design Success Tips | Create A Small Business Logo: 6 Smart Design Tips
Logo Design Success Tips | If you want your company to stand out from its competitors, a memorable business logo is vitally important. A logo essentially serves as a graphic representation of your business. People use them on stationery items, marketing materials and business cards as a simple visual cue that enables easy recognition of the company. Since your logo is an essential element of your brand and frequently the first thing a potential client sees, creating one that appeals to your target audience has to be a top priority.
Logo Design Success Tips | Website Design – www.medianovak.com
The importance of a powerful logo cannot be underestimated; it is a representation of everything your business stands for and ultimately the most effective tool for clients to recognize your brand. There are countless people in the logo design industry today dishing out poorly designed logos in bulk for crowd sourcing websites. How can you stand out from the crowd and come up with a quality logo that works for you? While hiring a professional logo designer is the best overall tip for having an impressive and effective logo, below are some additional tips to help you make the most of your logo design.
Keep It Simple! | Logo Design Success Tips
These are probably the best words of advice, and it ties into almost all of our upcoming tips. An overly complex design will not only make your logo hard to reproduce and maintain, but you will also fail to engage your target audience. It's essential to have a balanced combination of simple and quirky — you want your logo to grab the attention of your potential clients, but you don't want them to have to sit and stare, analyzing the logo. Some of the most popular logos have been the simplest. We're talking about clean, bold lines without too many elements to distract the eye or detract from the impact of the message.
RELATED: Small Business Logo | What Are Logos And Why Are They Important? Logo Design Tips For Business Owners
Make It Appropriate | Logo Design Success Tips
If your business provides professional services, such as legal advice or medical treatment, create a logo that communicates the level of professionalism expected by potential clients. Forget about humor or the cute factor for these sort of companies. Understand your client base and your target audience, and use colors that will appeal to them. Use larger print for those over 60 and vibrant colors for a younger audience to create more impact.
Fight The Temptation To Imitate | Logo Design Success Tips
A logo is what helps distinguish a brand from its competitors, so it's vital that the logo stands out from the rest — something many business owners struggle with. In many cases, imitation is the best form of flattery — with logo design, this is not the case. In the real world it's just a lazy way to solve a creative problem. Your goal here should be to design something that you believe is different from anything already out there.
Watch Your Colors | Logo Design Success Tips
An effective logo looks great whether in a single color, black-and-white, or mixed colors and tones. One way to end up with a versatile logo is to begin designing in black and white. This enables you to focus on the idea and the shape, rather than the color, which is highly subjective in nature. Another thing you have to be careful of as you explore color options is the cost. Your five-color logo may be breathtaking, but once it comes time to print it on stationery, the price won't be so attractive.
RELATED: Effective Photography Logo Advice | 6 Characteristics Of Logos That Encourage Trust: A Beginner's Guide To Designing Photography Logos
Think Long-Term | Logo Design Success Tips
Imagine you business growing, evolving through the years, and its branding and identity intact. That conveys endurance and stability. Rather than blindly following trends and fads, design a logo that continually builds brand equity through the years. An effective logo should be timeless. Will yours stand the test of time? Will it still be effective in 10, 20 or even 50 years? Trends come and go, and when you're talking about getting a new pair of jeans, or getting new sunglasses, that's fine, but where your brand identity is concerned, longevity is key.
Logo Design Success Tips | Website Design – www.medianovak.com
Don't Use Clip Art | Logo Design Success Tips
This is one of those oft-mentioned, but rarely followed tips. How does a logo stand out as a brand's identity? Simple! By being unique. Make sure you carefully research your industry and target market before embarking on a logo design. You have to know and understand the common styles of your industry, but you also need to make sure that you don't infringe on anyone else's trademarked logo. However tempting it may be, clip art can be copied too easily. Not only will original art make a more lasting impression about your brand, but it'll set your business apart from others.

To be honest, I bought this Jolly Old Saint Nick stamp set only for the big Santa face. I love that Santa face! See for yourself on page 26 of the Holiday Mini Catalogue. Isn't it adorable?
But the more I use this set, the more I appreciate all of the images and how well they work for making fast and fun Christmas cards. For this card, I paired the snowman with the "Wishing You a Merry Christmas" greeting to make a card with a completely different look from my Santa cards. And the snowman and snowflake images can be used well after New Years for thank you and birthday cards since winter will be here for awhile yet.
This card uses just one colour, Night of Navy, with the Whisper White. I think it makes this card really clean and crisp looking. I also used only Night of Navy accessories – the 1/4" and 1-1/4" striped grosgrain ribbons and Regals Big Designer Buttons with some rhinestones from the Basic Rhinestones package for more bling. I added rhinestones to cover up the stamped snowman buttons as well as the center of the navy designer buttons.

Though the standings don't necessarily reflect it, this ranks among the most illogical seasons the National Football League has ever produced. Consider the following:
* Dallas has trailed in every game, but owns a league leading 7-1 record.
* Running attacks are experiencing a sudden revival in The Golden Era of the forward pass.
* The New York Jets have pulled a Superman switch in reverse, emerging as Clark Kent types instead of the Super Bowl strong men they were supposed to be. (The Jets, incidentally, have announced plans to move from Shea Stadium to Giants Stadium in the New Jersey Meadowlands next season. Maybe they're getting out of town just in time.)
* New England, playing with a young defense minus its two best players, shut out the Buffalo Bills and their red hot quarterback Joe Ferguson on Sunday, 31-0 .
* In a tale of two rookies, heralded quarterback John Elway has been benched at Denver, while a supposedly so-so Dan Marino has replaced Super Bowl starter David Woodley in Miami.
* The New Orleans Saints are winning, the San Diego Chargers losing, and the Green Bay Packers doing equal parts of both in a manner that few can grasp.
Green Bay is the master of the one-game winning streak, having followed every victory with a defeat, the highlight being a 48-47 win over the defending NFL champion Washington Redskins.
To some degree, the Packers symbolize the parity that is such a catchword in the NFL these days. The league has seemingly fostered a growing middle class through scheduling and rules that give every team with a good passing game a fighting chance.
With eight weeks down and eight to go in the current season, a raft of teams are still very much in the playoff picture. Eighteen of 28 clubs, in fact, are playing at a .500 or better clip, with Dallas, Minnesota, and San Francisco leading their respective NFC divisions, and Pittsburgh, the Los Angeles Raiders, and co-leaders Miami and Buffalo heading up the AFC races.
Only two clubs appear desperately out of the running. Tampa Bay and Houston are both 0-8. For the Buccaneers, a playoff team three of the last four seasons , the decline is especially disheartening and a sad reminder of their earlier futility (Tampa Bay once set a record with 26 losses before winning its first NFL game). The defection of quarterback Doug Williams to the United States Football League has obviously been a factor in the team's demise.
Houston's pathetic start has led to the only coaching change so far this season, with assistant Chuck Studley stepping in for ousted Ed Biles. The Oilers came close to breaking their slump Sunday, but lost to Kansas City in overtime.
In Texas, of course, losing does not generally beget losing when the state's other pro team happens to be the Dallas Cowboys. They are bred winners, a fact clearly evident in their ability to come from behind repeatedly this year. Though a trademark in other years, the pattern was dusted off in the season opener against Washington, when the Cowboys erased a 23-3 halftime deficit to beat the Redskins 31-30.
Dallas ran its record to 7-0, one victory shy of the club's best getaway, before meeting the Los Angeles Raiders Sunday night in a nationally televised game. The confrontation, won by Los Angeles on Chris Bahr's 26-yard field goal with 23 seconds left, not only pitted the NFL's two most successful teams since they entered pro football in 1960, but also philosophical opposites - the Cowboys known as Establishment types, the Raiders as league mavericks.
Quarterback Marc Wilson, one of several free agents eyed by the USFL, signed a million-dollar contract with Los Angeles last week, whereupon he took Jim Plunkett's spot in the lineup and threw three TD passes against Dallas.
Before the season, the Raiders were expected to be the only L.A. team of playoff caliber. The Rams, however, have changed that, putting internal turmoil behind them under new coach John Robinson. For Robinson, a successful college coach at Southern California, the transition to the pro game has been as smooth as that made by rookie running back Eric Dickerson, the league's leading rusher with 995 yards.
Against San Francisco Sunday, Dickerson rushed for 144 yards, yet the 49ers won 45-35 to take sole possession of first place in the NFC West.
Other runners are having good seasons too - New England's Tony Collins, Seattle's Curt Warner, Pittsburgh's Franco Harris, and Atlanta's William Andrews , to name just a few. As teams become more conscious of stopping the pass, to the point of putting in pass rushing specialists and extra defensive backs, the potential for springing quality runners for sizeable gains increases.

One Lucky Lemon
These mini cakes deliver big lemon flavor with only one lemon! If you are a lemon lover, you have to try this recipe.
Lucky Lemon Cakes
adapted from Everyday Food
1/2 c unsalted butter (1 stick), softened
1 1/2 c all purpose flour
1 1/2 c all purpose flour
2 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
1/2 c low fat buttermilk or low fat plain yogurt (I used yogurt)
1 t vanilla extract
finely grated zest and juice of one lemon, plus approximately 1 T for glaze (I used only 1 lemon)
1 c sugar
2 eggs
approximately 3/4 c powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 350. Grease the mini muffin tin or use baking cups.
In a medium bowl, mix the flour, baking powder and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together buttermilk, vanilla and lemon zest and juice.
With an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar in a large bowl until light. Add the eggs one by one, beating well after each addition. With mixer on low, add flour mixture in three batches, alternating with two additions of the buttermilk mixture.
Divide evenly among the muffin cups. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cake comes out clean, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes in the tin and then transfer to wire rack.
Mix powdered sugar with up to 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. It can be a thin glaze or a thick icing--up to you! Once the cupcakes are completely cool, add glaze and let set for 30 minutes.
You can also make these as regular sized cupcakes or jumbo cupcakes--just adjust the baking time.

I love olive oil anything especially when it's used in cake!
The key to using olive oil when baking is Good Quality Oil. Never extra virgin and not the oil you use for everyday cooking. You want floral and grassy hints.I promise its worth it .I have used all kinds and learned that everyday olive oil makes the cake very greasy and overpowered by oil.
I have made olive oil cakes with many different spices and citrus. I couldn't wait to use one of my new favorites Cardamom.
I have a few different olive oil cake recipes. All are different and have a different texture and flavor. This one fell into my lap when I was searching for another recipe altogether. Of course I switched a few things to make it my own . The original is from City Spoonful by Rachel Harkman.
Check it out. In their version they do not use cornmeal or lemon juice. Harkman also uses a glaze and candied citrus slices. As you know I like simple and more savory then sweet. http://www.reciperachel.com
Sugar and eggs, dry ingredients separated.
Cardamom. Store bought ground cardamom is expensive and loses its aroma if not used n a certain amount of time. I used the whole pods. Place a handful into a hot pan for 30 second-one minute, moving around. This opens the aroma. Place into mortar and crush. On your workspace separate and discard the pods . The cardamom seeds get put into your spice/coffee grinder, pulse and unleash the floral scent.
4 eggs room temperature
1 cup all natural granulated
3/4 cup Olive oil ( non extra virgin)
3/4 cup all purpuse flour
1/4 cup cormeal
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 salt
Lemon zest and juice from half
Ground cardamom start with 1/2 teaspoon if new to the spice
Preheat oven 350
Grease a 9 " cake pan
Pour lemon juice into olive oil. Set aside. Combine Flour, baking powder, salt, cardamom, lemon zest. Whisk, Set aside.
In a mixing bowl add eggs and sugar. Beat together unitl pale in color and fluffy.( if it seems thick don't panic). Slowly pour olive oil/lemon juice into egg- sugar mixture, then beat together gently.( on lowest mixer speed).
Gently fold dry ingridents into the wet, mixing completely. Pour into pan. Bake for 30mins. Test with a toothpick, clean pick, good, batter on pick leave in longer. Let the cake cool in pan before removing.
ENJOY with fruit, whipped cream, yogurt or like me with a Good Cup of Coffee.

Vehicles outfitted with weapons have kept us amused for centuries, and whilst you don't directly target your opponents' cars the destruction you cause to the environment should cause a chain reaction that'll turn a nippy, streamlined, piece of automotive engineering into a horribly twisted wreck.
You can grab a copy of the game on the Xbox and PS3 for £17.99 from HMV, which'll save you almost £6 on the next best offer on both platforms.
- Click here to buy Split Second for £17.99 from HMV [Xbox 360 Games]
- Click here to buy Split Second for £17.99 from HMV [PS3 Games]
Split Second is great fun and beats competitors, such as Blur, hands down when it comes to enjoyment and the racing experience that it offers gamers.Everything is an action packed spectacle right from the start of the races, which usually begin and end in a show of sparks from a barrage of fireworks that are set off from both sides of the track.
The racing aspects to the game are pretty well done and there are several little tricks that make it feel like you're stretching the car's oversized engine to its limits in the form of blurred vision and the sound of your turbo charger kicking in. The only problem that I found with the driving controls was the unusual choice to have one button for braking and drifting, which can lead to you slowing down and getting overtaken instead of smoothly sliding around a bend.
There's another trick to hurtle you into first place in the form of the various powerplays that crop up around the courses, which allow you to burst outlet, pipes, collapse bridges, call in helicopters that drop explosive barrels from above, and even cause planes to land on the road in front of you. Be warned though timing is key because missing another player can lead to you leaving a hazard in your path or in rare cases cause your early demise.
Observing the destruction whilst weaving around it and trying to maintain your lead is incredibly entertaining and now the price is coming down you can start to overlook the game's flaws and enjoy the experience that it provides.

Hawk Talk
There were three things that I had to ask myself after Iowa's opening game against Northern Illinois:
1. Did Iowa look good? I would have to say not really.
2. Can the Hawkeyes get better? Oh yeah…a lot better.
3. Did they win? Barely, 19-18 but a win is a win.
For 57 minutes and 35 seconds, Iowa seemed to be behind the eight ball. They trailed 17-12 but the Hawks' final drive, aided by a great punt and great defense, finished off the Huskies with Damon Bullock's 23-yard touchdown with 2:15 left in the game.
There were some good plays on offense, defense and special teams– they came through when they needed to, but I have to start with the defense.
The Hawkeye defenders gave up only 201 total yards and 12 first downs. They gave up one big play, a 73-yard touchdown run in the second half.
"I thought we really grew up in the second half," said Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz. "Things were better. There is still a lot we will get better at and have to work on. It was encouraging to see the team grow a little bit. They can feel good about that."
Northern Illinois had a net total of 68 yards in the second half. Take out that 73 yard run and that is a minus 5 yards.
Joe Gaglione and Dominic Alvis each had a sack while Joe, Dominic, James Morris, Tanner Miller, Micah Hyde and Christian Kirksey all had tackles for losses… Joe had three.
Jordan Lynch, the Huskies' quarterback, completed only 6-16 passes for 54 yards.
"That was a really hard fought ball game and we expected that," said coach Ferentz. "Once they got through their first five games last year they have been playing well. They gave us all we wanted. I was just really proud of our guys' effort. They fought, played the full 60 and gave us a chance to win at the end."
Outside of a missed field goal by Mike Meyers, the special teams came through big time.
Mike did hit 4-5 field goals including a 50-yard kick in the fourth quarter that closed the lead to 17-12.
"I don't know how he got that one through," said coach Ferentz. "Obviously those were huge points. Mike did a good job."
Connor Kornbrath, the true freshman kicker, averaged 41.3 yards on three punts.
You have to give it up to senior John Wienke, who came to Iowa as a top quarterback. John has been working at punter since last spring, was beat out by Connor but he still came through with a huge punt that was downed on the Huskies 1-yard line in the fourth quarter.
Greg Castillo, another senior, who came in at cornerback when B.J. Lowery was hurt, was the one that downed John's punt on the 1.
"This is what you live for, moments like this," said Greg. "I'm a fifth-year senior, I've been around here. I was ready."
Kickoff and punt coverage was good and Mike Meyers had three touchbacks. He only had five last year although this year he is kicking off from the 35 instead on the 30.
The offense didn't look as sharp as I thought it could, but then again, I totally underestimated Northern Illinois' defense.
The Huskies had nine starters back from last year, plus a starter who sat out last year with an injury.
They were fast and had some depth, especially on the D-line and Ed Podolak, Iowa's radio color man, said this will be one of the better defenses Iowa plays all year.
The Hawks did do some good things on offense and you have to start with Damon Bullock.
Damon picked up 150 yards on 30 carries and might silent the doubters that wondered if he could carry the load. Last Saturday, he did and scored the winning touchdown.
I thought Greg Garman would play more, but he had only four carries for 8 yards.
James Vandenberg wasn't bad going 21-33, but only totaled 129 yards.
James didn't throw long much, but that might be because he was rushed hard all afternoon and sacked six times.
Kevonte Martin-Manley and Keenan Davis combined for 11 receptions and 72 yards while Don Shumpert made his first two catches as a Hawkeye but gained no yards.
The Hawkeyes also controlled the ball with over 38 minutes of possession, 23 first downs and 8-18 on third down conversions.
Iowa also took the opening drive, Mike Meyers kicked a 34-yard field goal and the Hawks led 3-0.
I was a little disappointed with the offensive line play, but then again that was the first start at tackle for Brandon Scherff and Bret Van Sloten plus redshirt freshman Austin Blythe made his first start at guard and it was his first time on the field.
I believe Brian Ferentz, the O-line coach, will get them ready for next week.
I also think the Hawks didn't show a lot on offense. Hopefully they will loosen up against the Cyclones next Saturday.
A lot of people think this was a home game since there were over 35,000 Iowa fans at Soldier Field. It was still a road game and the Hawks had a lot of new faces on the field.
Iowa has won its last 12 opening games under Kirk Ferentz which ties a record.
You have to go back to 1919-1930 to find 12 in a row on opening day.
It's always been said that you improve the most between your first and second games.
Colleges don't play preseason games like the NFL, so this is usually the case. The Hawks will need to improve a lot if they are going to knock off the 'Clones this Saturday.
Iowa State rolled over Tulsa last 38-23. The 'Clones were 1-point underdogs.
I'm glad the game is at Kinnick.

Fit for living: Stand up paddle boarding keeps Assata McKenzie working out for good
It all starts in the gym for Assata McKenzie. But it doesn't end there. The uber-fit Torontonian with seemingly boundless energy knows there's so much more to fitness than being a gym star.
"I love being in the gym, but being fit in the gym is one thing," she tells Sun Media. "Being fit and confident to try different things is also what I've experienced and I really love that."
McKenzie, an extremely young-looking 43-year-old, is a group exercise instructor for GoodLife Fitness in Toronto. She's currently on a six-month leave of absence while hanging out in the San Francisco Bay Area with her talented husband, who is working there as a CGI (computer-generated imagery) animation specialist. During her California hiatus, McKenzie has added a "scary but fun" activity to her already well-rounded exercise repertoire: Stand up paddle boarding, which requires a strong core and plenty of balance.
"I picked it up fairly quickly, but I'm respecting that it's something different," she explains, adding that she also recently went hiking in B.C. "Being from downtown Toronto, there's not a lot of hiking opportunities."
For McKenzie, five-foot-four and 125 pounds, it's all about living the, uh, good life. "Not to be too corny, but the good life is about getting outside of the gym and just trying something different," she notes. "I don't think I would have had the confidence to try different things if I wasn't an instructor and didn't already have a base of fitness within a safe environment. You take that from the gym and you take it outside and you do a bunch of crazy different things."
The down-to-earth certified fitness professional and wellness consultant is set to return to Toronto next month. In the meantime, she's had the chance to hone her fitness-instructor skills by taking Les Mills classes at 24 Hour Fitness and guest teaching at Bladium Sports and Fitness Club.
"I'm seeing the way that they're teaching not only Zumba classes (one of her loves) but a variety of other types of classes," she says. "I've learned that people just love movement and once the instructor is able to get people excited about movement, then it's fine."
She has also taken classes and guest-instructed at several other popular U.S. gyms in the Bay Area. From a participant perspective, McKenzie has had an emphatic refresher course on how an instructor can make or break a fitness class. "Sometimes instructors didn't pay attention to their participants and that made the classes not so enjoyable for me as a participant," she notes. "The class numbers would change as well. The classes that were the busiest had the friendliest and most engaging instructors. The instructors that just looked at the participants through the mirror, which is something we don't do at GoodLife, those are the classes that were often smaller and not as fun."
McKenzie, who appeared on an episode of Undercover Boss Canada last year featuring GoodLife Fitness COO Jane Riddell, hasn't neglected resistance training during her time on the west coast. For variety and convenience, she makes use of tubing, TRX straps and the Lebert Equalizer and Lebert Buddy System. "And I jump rope. I do a lot more walking. I go for runs by the water — so I've been really creative around my fitness and that's been fun," she adds. Indeed, it's the latest chapter in an ever-evolving fitness journey that has kept her happy and healthy.
And looking half her age. "Sweating every day is one of the best beauty products and anti-aging products there is," she says, noting she doesn't act her age either. Her words of wisdom for workout enthusiasts?
"It starts in the gym. We build communities in the gym and then we take that positive energy out into the world," she says. "Find what you love and just keep at it. And be creative. Try something new — Zumba or a martial arts class. You never know, you might just like it."

Everywhere you look these days, there is a new device for sale designed to get music, movies, and entertainment to your TV without the hassle of old-fashioned delivery systems like cable or satellite. So when media-center maker Boxee announced last year that it was adding a Linux-based set-top hardware device to what used to be a software-only product, it took on a decidedly tougher market.
I'm hopeful it will succeed, not simply because the Boxee Box is slick hardware with an even slicker remote, but because it raises the bar considerably for open source entertainment devices.
For those unfamiliar, Boxee is a derivative of the XBMC media center — streamlined, with a customized user interface, connected to a "social network" base of other Boxee users, and pre-loaded with scores of Web content feeds. The company makes builds available for Linux (32 and 64 bit), Mac OS X, Windows, and the Apple TV (which runs a variant of Apple's iOS platform). The Linux version is capable of running on a home theater PC (HTPC) in addition to as a desktop app: it can output digital audio (even passing through DTS and AC3 signals to a receiver), adjust video overscan, and be controlled with a LIRC-compliant remote instead of a mouse.
The hardware set-top box is called the Boxee Box, and is manufactured by D-Link. If nothing else, you've probably heard a lot about its design, which looks like an alien black cube melting halfway through the surface of whatever it's sitting on. It's certainly weird (a "cubic section" may be the proper term for it...), but it ultimately doesn't matter, since the box's remote control is RF instead of infrared, so it does not need line-of-sight. Connection-wise, it has HDMI (1080p-capable) and analog video out, digital and stereo audio out, a 10/100 (not gigabit) Ethernet port, an SD card slot, and two full-size USB ports. 802.11b Wi-Fi is built in.
You can hook a variety of devices up to the USB ports, including external storage devices and IR remote receivers. Optical drives are not supported yet, although there is a feature request for them. Users report that they can supply enough voltage to run one external hard disk, but not two, so if you need a second one, make sure it has external power.
Speaking of remotes, the remote control is easily the best blend you're going to find of an HTPC's competing needs, the directional navigation pad and QWERTY keyboard. The "front" is held vertically and operated like a remote (assuming you don't pick it up backward, since it is symmetric). The "back" hides a small but complete keyboard, although you can also use the navigation arrows on the back side like a direction pad. Comparatively, the feature-less Apple remote forces you to type by scrolling through an on-screen keyboard, while something like the Logitech Revue is so clunky it'd might as well have wires.
Play Now
The Boxee Box uses a newer revision of the Boxee application than is available on Linux (at the moment, version 18.104.22.16843, as compared to version 0.9.22.13692). The main improvement in the new release is navigation. Starting from the home screen, Boxee breaks content down into four groups: "Shows," "Movies," "Apps," and "Files." The first two are curated lists culling content from all of Boxee's pre-sorted web sources.
Apps is the main library of content source channels — at least, "channels" is what they would be called in any other context. Under the hood, some apps are simply links into RSS-delivered video feeds, while others launch specific video sites in Boxee's built-in web browser. The user shouldn't have to care what delivery mechanism gets the content to the screen, so the "Apps" design hides this — it's a different approach than most other media centers take. "Files," of course, allows you to browse media files on local storage, or on any discoverable shares on the network.
The choice of content sources is part of what distinguishes Boxee from the upstream XBMC application on which it is based. There are several hundred content "Apps" pre-installed, by default sorted by popularity so that things like The Daily Show and Pandora bubble to the top. But I also give high marks to how streamlined the interface is: it dispenses entirely with items like XBMC's Photo and Weather main menu entries. Honestly, who misses them? Weather, if it deserves a spot in your media center app at all, goes at the bottom of the list, not the top. The look of the app also discards XBMC's screen-consuming stock photo menu screens, and just puts text and content thumbnails in front of your eyes.
But in addition to the design, the navigation itself is also improved. I've used several generations of Boxee on Linux, and previous versions fell into what I call arrow-key-traps — where you can use (for example) the right-arrow key to move the cursor into some particular menu, but then the left-arrow key can't get you back out. MythTV themes are riddled with these problems. On the Boxee Box, the arrow keys always move the direction they look like they should, the "pause" button always pauses, and "menu" button always brings up the menu — even if what you're currently doing is watching a Flash-powered video via the built-in browser.
Putting Up with the Web
That last fact is a welcome surprise because those of us who use desktop Linux have been trained to expect going into "browser mode" with Flash to be a harrowing, focus-stealing experience. The Boxee team has made it about as seamless as possible. Browser mode is only the playback-tool-of-last-resort, when a content source doesn't provide a real, standards-based feed, but even when you enter it, the remote control still allows you to move the on-screen cursor with the arrow keys. It's not as fast as a mouse, naturally, but it gives you control to use the site's home-brewed Flash controls, including "full-screen" or "replay."
Still, in just a few minutes of using it, you are confronted head-on with the sad reality of just how crummy the bulk of web-delivered video truly is. There's no one to blame but the content providers; they could use a simple standard like RSS or ATOM, but instead they wrap their video in a custom, impossible to navigate, constantly re-buffering hodge-podge of "branding." Worst of all, most force you watch unskippable commercials, but even they don't offer you true video-on-demand. Instead, you get a selection like Season 1 Episode 1, Season 4 Episode 5, and Season 5 Episode 11 — and that's it. Yet the network probably still wonders why people are downloading episodes through file-sharing apps. At least you can still turn the volume down when the ads are playing.
The apps themselves are a mixed bag. The newest firmware update finally added Netflix Watch Instantly support, which is a huge win, and there are rentable movie titles from Vudu, plus other services requiring separate accounts, such as Pandora. These top-tire apps are run smoothly and deliver quality visuals and audio (users on the Boxee forums report that the box does better-than-average local buffering that more than makes up for its lack of gigabit and highest-speed Wi-Fi). On the other hand, Youtube's Leanback is a pretty poor offering in the browser, so you shouldn't expect it to be better via Boxee. I sampled several other series, including the original Star Trek, which I never watched growing up (don't judge me; I was watching M.A.S.H.), that were prone to occasional missing-sound or missing-picture glitches.
But that's not Boxee's fault, of course. All in all, the box does a remarkably good job of making these disparate content sources accessible in a unified way. The various "apps" require local installation before you can use them, but it is a one-click process, and it works fast. In fact, one of my few complaints about the interface is that it's actually difficult to tell which "apps" you have installed and which you don't — they all look the same in the menu. You can add apps to a "favorites" category with which you can bypass the full list, but that seems to be it.
Outside of the pure playback experience, I did find it irritating that firmware updates for the box are evidently downloaded while the machine is actively in use, which slows down effective bandwidth and interactivity. Two came in one week of testing, and in both cases once the download was complete, a "you must upgrade and restart now" alert popped up. In contrast, Roku's streaming video players download their updates in the middle of the night, and install and update themselves.
Choices, So Many Choices
So, given the number of options we have in streaming media these days, how do you decide if the Boxee Box is right for you? The simplest approach is to compare it to the alternatives.
The Roku media players are probably the closest offerings on the market: similar price point, geared towards streaming video rather than DVR functionality. Between the two, the Roku devices have a far more consistent (and simpler) interface. Every Roku "channel" looks and behaves the same. But the Roku players can only play back H.264 or WMV9 video, and MP3 or WMA audio. The Boxee Box can handle far more, including Vorbis, FLAC, FLV, and DivX. Though both are designed for streaming over the Internet, only the priciest two Roku models have a USB port so you can use an external drive with the "USB Channel" — the Boxee Box can use an external drive, but comes out-of-the-box able to play content from other machines on the LAN, over HTTP, Samba, NFS, UPnP, and other standard protocols.
It's also important to note that despite the Linux underpinnings, there is a stark difference in the openness of the platforms. Roku allows developers to create "private channels" with its SDK, while anyone can develop media plugins for the Boxee Box, and either submit them to Boxee for future distribution, or simply run their own repository. The Boxee APIs are far more flexible, and the developer forum is filled with people figuring out new tricks, such as how to connect additional USB devices (see the IR dongle mentioned above), or connect to additional hardware, like HDHomeRun HDTV tuners. You can download the full source code to the Boxee Box, not just the Linux kernel, and build it yourself. If you have to ask how this compares to the Apple TV on openness, then you're just not paying attention.
On the other hand, if you're the type of Linux user that doesn't mind building your own set-top box, a harder question is whether you should buy a Boxee Box or install the free Boxee app. The Boxee Box plays jitter-free media at 1080p, but the hardware is not expandable (it's even hard to get root). Still, the company actively promotes both ("buy it" versus "build it"), so you might want to look at building. Here there are two factors to consider. First, the Boxee Box comes without any type of DVR functionality. We're not yet at the point where you can get all of your news and media over the web (heck, Boxee's domain name ends in .tv), so the ability to include a DVR package is a point in favor of building it. There are workarounds, such as the MythBoxee app, which you can add to Boxee Box, but it still requires a MythTV backend server.
The second factor is that the Linux builds of the Boxee application lag behind the Boxee Box version — at the moment, many months behind. There is no word on whether Boxee has figured out how to deploy versions of its most popular apps, like the DRM-bound Netflix Watch Instantly, on Linux. As Hulu has shown, there is no reason why it can't be done — it's merely an uncertain future. There are other ways to get content into a general-purpose Linux HTPC, including MythTV's MythNetvision plugin, Bittorrent, and Miro, but if you want simplicity, Boxee has them beat. It's a matter of weighing your priorities.
Closing Credits
There is one dimension of Boxee Box usage that I have not discussed yet: the "social" component. Roku, AppleTV, and all of other web media streamers I'm aware of have no social dimension at all, so Boxee is ahead of the curve there — and yet, it still seems like the social side of the application never has quite picked up momentum.
In earlier versions of Boxee, the social component basically just allowed you to follow other users, and glean recommendations for Boxee-delivered video content that they watched. Thus the network of Boxee users was little more than yet-another-network-on-which-to-find-and-subscribe-to-your-friends. The 1.0 release running on the Boxee Box takes a more integrated approach, letting you tie in your accounts on other services, so you can access your friends' shared Facebook or Twitter videos and photos.
It still doesn't hit home to me — your friends become yet another delivery channel for passive entertainment. Everyone knows that real social networking is about participating in a conversation. As lame as Youtube content gets, it's dead simple to comment and even "respond" to other people's videos; the Netflix site even allows you to write reviews and share them with other users. Neither of these service's Boxee apps let you do that sort of thing — they just feed the videos.
Maybe the services simply don't care, but Boxee is an open platform — and so far, none of the open source apps add much interactive conversation to the video watching experience either. Open source can push the envelope beyond "rate, review, and respond" too. Boxee has flexible subtitle support and can overlay audio/video streams and other content while they play in real-time. It'd be nice to leverage that in a discussion somehow — to comment on tracks as they play, or find and share information about a show while you watch it. Perhaps it is a plugin API limitation, although neither MythTV and XBMC engage much social discussion, either. There are hints of better functionality brewing, such as the Watch Later bookmarklet that lets you add a video to your Boxee watch list while browsing with your desktop or laptop. But at the moment, watching in Firefox on the desktop lets you interact with other users at the same time, while Boxee on the set-top box doesn't.
Nitpicking over social networking features aside, I definitely like what the Boxee software has done with the 1.0.x releases available on the Box. The Boxee Box itself is quiet and unobtrusive, it can handle just about any media you throw at it, and unlike the competition, there are no barriers to accessing your own content, adding or reverse-engineering USB peripherals, and writing your own plugin apps. That'd make it a product worth looking at even it wasn't glowing green and "phasing" its way through other solid objects.

King Hussein of Jordan has stepped up his support for Iraq in the latter's war with Iran -- at least verbally. Amman radio said Oct. 28 that King Hussein, on his second visit to Baghdad since the Gulf hostilities erupted over a month ago, had "declared his unlimited support for Iraq in its war with Iran and placed his armed forces under the command of the Iraqi leadership."
At first sight this might seem a commitment of Jordanian forces to active participation on Iraq's side in the fight against Iran, but it remains to be seen whether this is, in fact, what the King intends.
His support for Iraqi strong man Saddam Hussein is more unequivocal than that of any other Arab leader. He has so far avoided the commitment of either men or materiel to combat. And even now, given the Arab love of rhetoric, King Hussein's latest promise of support may well stop short of deeds.
Until now, his support of President Saddam Hussein has been limited to words and allowing cargoes for Iraq to be unloaded at the Jordanian port of Aqaba and transhipped across Jordan to Iraq. This is no small help for Iraq, since maritime traffic to and from its only outlet to the sea at the port of Basra has been brought to a halt by fighting in and along the Shatt al Arab estuary, at the head of which Basra stands.
Iraq in recent years has provided Jordan with substantial economic aid, some of which was earmarked for development of port facilities at Aqaba and land communications with it. To that extent, the Iraqi leader had a claim on the port's use for transshipment.
At the same time, it should not be overlooked that King Hussein has a record not only as a "survivor" in the Arab world but also as a "plunger" -- to use the terminology of the London weekly, the Economist. He plunged into the Arab- Israeli war of 1967 on the side of Egyptian President Nasser and, as a result, lost the West Bank to the Israelis.
Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin publicly reminded King Hussein of that particular miscalculation earlier this month with the express intent of warning him against getting too closely involved with Iraq.
Iraq is Israel's chief concern among its potential Arab foes in this fourth decade after Israel's establishment as an independent state, although the two countries have no common border. Jordan lies between them.
Egypt, once perceived by Israel as the biggest threat, has taken itself out of active confrontation since the visit of President Anwar Sadat to Jerusalem and the subsequent translation of the Camp David accords into an Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty.
Syrian President Hafez Assad, who might have moved into the role of Israel's neighbor-enemy No. 1, is too bogged down in Lebanon and too preoccupied with maintaining his personal position at home to be an immediate mortal threat.
Jordan on its own, despite the efficiency of its armed forces, is not a match for Israeli power. But a Jordan merged with Iraq and giving Iraqi forces access to Israel's border would be an entirely different question.
For many months, Israel has been preoccupied with the possibility of Iraq becoming an Arab nuclear power -- with the help of French technology. Outsiders long have speculated that Israel would in the last resort go to almost any lengths to prevent that happening. (Even now, despite vigorous Israeli denials, rumors have not been laid to rest that an air attack on an Iraqi nuclear plant early in the war with Iran was effected by Israeli, not Iranian, planes.)
A nuclear Iraq brought to Israel's border through Jordanian connivance would be doubly unacceptable to Israelis.
Thus it would be prudent to bear in mind the possibility of preemptive Israeli action if Israel perceived a threat to its existence arising either in Jordan or on the Israeli-Jordanian border.
King Hussein's deepening of his verbal commitment to Iraq does not necessarily mean such a development at this stage. The timing of his latest Baghdad visit and declaration of support for President Saddam might well be no more than a reaffirmation of his position in the escalating inter-Arab struggle between Syria and Iraq, which is likely to dominate the current Arab foreign ministers' meeting in Jordanian capital, Amman.
The capitals of those two countries, Damascus and Baghdad, have been rival Arab power centers for centuries in the Fertile Crescent stretching from the Mediterranean to the Persian Gulf. Jordan is caught geographically between the two, and the two repeatedly have been rivals for Jordan's allegiance.
Syrian President Assad, member of a sect that is an offshoot of Shia Islam, supports Shia Iran in its war with Iraq. Mr. Assad is fresh back from Moscow, where he signed a treaty of friendship with the Soviet Union. King Hussein has just postponed a planned visit to Moscow.
Just what all this portends in the inter-Arab maneuvering unleashed by the Gulf war may not be clear, but one thing is: In the strictly Arab context, Jordan has opted this time for Iraq, not Syria.

Fed payments study: Signature cards more prone to fraud
Credit cards and signature debit cards are the payment methods most susceptible to fraud, the Federal Reserve said Thursday, with bogus transactions sharply higher than the fraud rate for PIN debit, ATMs, checks and electronic checks.
Among the fraud-prone cards, the risk was highest for online transactions, which had about triple the fraud rate of "card-present" sales at the cash register.
The Fed's triennial report on payments released Thursday
included a look at unauthorized transactions for the first time. It counted
31.1 million estimated bogus transactions totaling $6.1 billion in 2012 across
all noncash payments studied -- which include checks, electronic checks and ATM
use as well as purchase cards.
Payment method
Fraud - millions of transactions
Fraud - per 10,000 transactions
|Credit card
|Signature debit
|PIN Debit
|ATM withdrawals
|Electronic check
For general purpose credit cards, there were 3.72 bogus uses per 10,000 "card-present" transactions. Online, the number of fraudulent uses swelled to 11.82 per 10,000 sales.
Transactions by PIN debit and ATM card -- assumed by the study to be all card-present transactions -- had the lowest fraud rates of all card transactions, with slightly less than one incidence per 10,000 transactions.
The figures, coming on the same day that Target announced a massive theft of card data, reinforced the need to monitor accounts for suspicious online transactions. At the same time, it showed that overall fraud rates are relatively low, as measured by the fraud that was spotted and identified by victims. By dollar value, only $1 in $1,000 worth of credit card transactions was unauthorized, including attempted fraud that didn't result in losses.
Checks and electronic checks had fraud rates below 1 per 10,000 transactions. Risk controls that businesses have set up around check and electronic check payments -- such as online bill pay -- "may have helped avoid losses with these payment types," the Fed report said. Besides, many checks and e-checks "involved regular payments, such as mortgage, insurance, utility and payroll payments, where fraud risk was minimal."
While the fraud protections offered by payment networks are similar for credit and debit cards, the impact of a bogus charge can be different, said Dennis Simmons, president of the Southwestern Automated Clearing House Association, a payment processors' group.
"If a large transaction hits your checking account, you have a more immediate hit," he said. The missing money can throw a wrench into your budget right away and take time to clear up. With a credit card, you have the period before the monthly payment is due to remove bogus charges.
Simmons recommends setting up alerts for online transactions, even relatively small amounts, to spot online fraud. He has done so himself and gets a text message whenever there's an online transaction in his checking account, he said.
Usage mixed
The Fed also looked at usage rates for various payment types. Of non-cash payment methods, general-purpose debit cards continued to lead the pack, with 47 billion transactions in 2012 compared to 23.8 billion for credit cards. By value, however, credit cards had the edge, with $2.2 trillion in charges, versus $1.8 trillion on debit cards.
The fastest-growing card payment over the three-year period was prepaid cards, the Fed report said. Looking at both general-purpose and private label cards, prepaid had 9.2 billion transactions in 2012, up from 5.9 billion in 2009.
In the wake of the Durbin Amendment's cap on debit card interchange fees, banks are raising costs for checking accounts, driving some people to prepaid cards instead, said Madeline Aufseeser, an analyst at Aite Group.
"The Durbin amendment was a trigger event for the industry," she said. "Because of the lost revenue on debit, they increased the cost of checking through fees, or a higher minimum balance -- hence, consumers are opting out of checking." At the same time, prepaid cards were becoming a mass market product, she added.
In terms of dollar value, checks and electronic checks -- the preferred way for businesses to move money around -- remain by far the largest payment methods, with $74 trillion of the total $79 trillion in total noncash payments, the Fed study found. The report, the 2013 Federal Reserve Payments Study is based on three surveys of banks and payment processors in 2013.

Zoo Tycoon | ShopTo | £39.85 (save £8)
Zoo Tycoon review
Zoo Tycoon isn't the most advanced simulation you'll ever play, but it sure is fun and shows off Kinect to full advantage. Playing with your animals via the camera or barking out convenient voice commands to the interface works brilliantly. Also: fuzzly wuzzly cutey wooty animals aww. If you've got kids or just fancy a change of pace on your Xbox One, Zoo Tycoon is surprisingly enjoyable - and much better value at £39.85.
Thanks to mangoblank @ HUKD! We reckon it's a decent saving.

Gender And The Mass Media: An Analysis Of Gender Representation In TV Commercials Aired During Prime Time News On Citizen TV Station
Mwangi, Zipporah . M .
MetadataShow full item record
This research project sought to investigate the portrayal of each gender, gender representation and stereotypes propagated in TV commercials. Although great strides have been made in the area of gender equality in the society it is interesting to note that TV commercials in Kenya do not reflect this change. There are still TV commercials that portray men and women in stereotyped roles even with changes in society on gender equality. This has contributed greatly to the thought that television commercials do not emulate the advancement of the gender equality movement which has made great strides especially in recent years (Eisend, 2010). The research method used was Content Analysis of 24 commercials aired on Citizen TV during prime time news. The findings of this study showed that the most prevalent roles for women were Home maker and Mother which ultimately contributed to the most common stereotype for women which is the Housewife. These women were consistent with the expectations in Africa, where plump women are the benchmark for prominence, virility, elegance and well being. The study also revealed that the most prevalent role for men among the sampled TV commercials was the Traditional man. This contributed greatly to the most prevalent stereotype for a man which was the Buffoon. He is the man of the house and rarely shown participating in the house chores. This has led to the conclusion that it is therefore important that brands should be careful with the roles and messages they pass across ensuring that they don't deceive their target customers on the benefits. It is therefore important that TV commercials consciously represent African ideals of beauty while avoiding objectification of women. There should also be equal representation of each gender in narrations and in roles such as parenting
