Located in Ayala Highway, the food avenue of Lipa City, Ka Jec's Bangihan is a grill restaurant with a lot of parking space, cool ambiance, great hangout seats, and an awesome Filipino street food menu.
Their bestseller is the Isaw (or grilled Chicken Intestines). Instead of eating it in noisy, polluted and smelly streetside (with probably unhealthy sauces), you get to enjoy your isaw with your friends seated on picnic chairs and tables with proper edison-bulb lighting listening to a live acoustic band on some days.
Another can't-miss on the menu is the turon, a flavorful blend of bananas, sesame seeds, butter and sugar, that will make you forget you had just street food, and will probably make you order some more for take-out.
Ka Jec's General Manager Ms. Eena Morada was very accommodating and served us the best food that most of their customers like.
Here are some other notable food on the menu :
Pork Barbeque – P85
Isaw (Manok) – P85
Adidas – P85
Onion Rings – P75
Nachos – P125
Fries Overload – P160
Turon – P50
Sisig – P150
Ka Jec's Pansit – P150
Chessy Tuna Dynamite – P125

The Atmospheric Remote Sensing Group uses land-, ship-, and aircraft-based active and passive optical systems to study processes of importance to air quality and climate, aviation and weather forecasting, wind energy, and marine ecosystems.
Our capabilities and interests include both the development and deployment of state-of-the-art lidar and spectroscopic instrumentation, and the interpretation of data obtained with these systems.
We work closely with the Tropospheric Chemistry and Cloud & Aerosol Processes groups within CSD on air quality and climate-related field studies, and with other divisions of NOAA as well as federal and non-federal partners on research activities related to the structure and evolution of atmospheric flow systems and boundary layers.
The Atmospheric Remote Sensing Group joined what is now CSD in October 2005. The Group was formerly known as the Optical Remote Sensing Division (and before that the Advanced Technique Development Division) of the NOAA Environmental Technology Laboratory (ETL). Our personnel bring more than 30 years of experience developing and applying novel lidar systems for atmospheric research to CSD.

Jane Norman, a Philadelphia native who developed a character named
"Pixanne" that became a local television hit for the entire decade of the 1960s, died Saturday at home in Bala Cynwyd, NBC10 has learned. She was 83.
Norman's affinity for music and the stage showed early as she started piano lessons at 3, and five years later composed a piece that the Philadelphia Orchestra played in concert.
Her long career in song and dance truly hit the big time when a Philadelphia television station, WCAU-TV (then a CBS affiliate before becoming NBC10), took Norman up on her idea for a show about "a female version of Peter Pan."
Breaking news and the stories that matter to your neighborhood.
After its original run from 1960 to 1969 -- and becoming one of the first in the Philadelphia market to air in color -- "Pixanne" ran another seven years in syndication.
"For 17 years Jane (as Pixanne) "flew" into a magic forest five days a week," her website reads, "where she enchanted children and adults alike."
Her cause of death was not immediately released.
Jane Norman Beazley was born in East Oak Lane and graduated from Olney High School. She went on to graduate from Temple University with a degree in early children education and a minor in television and radio. She worked at WTRI radio in college and acted in Templayer Theater productions.
After college, Norman taught for four years at Shoemaker School in Cheltenham, Montgomery County. Eventually, the itch to perform became too much to bear.
She asked WPVI (the local ABC station) to perform on a children's show, but they passed, noting the station already had a children's show. Next, she went across City Avenue to WCAU.
It's there that she nailed her walk-in audition.
"In the studio, Jane did exactly what she had been doing for the past four years with her kindergarten children: Sing, talk, and tell stories. After ten minutes, the WCAU-TV powers told her to go home and think up a program idea," her website says. "That night at the dining room table, 'Pixanne' was born!"
After "Pixanne," Norman and her husband, Frank Beazley, created a show called "Maintenance Ms." that included short clips to help women do odd jobs and fix-it's around the house.
The show aired on stations across the country. In recent decades, Norman spent time on musicals and wrote songs.
"This was a gift to her grown-up fans. The album, 'In a Christmas Mood,' was played on more than 350 radio stations nationwide," according to her website. "In addition to classic holiday standards, Jane wrote five new original Christmas songs for the CD, many of which are still played on stations during the holiday season."
Funeral arrangements were not immediately announced.

These are all the Logan History Blog posted on Monday, 14 March, 2011.
Federal Land Patent of Logan, Utah
A recently examined document deserves some explanation and highlight on this blog.
Researching the document revealed that a federal land office was not established in Utah until 1869. Previous to that year private ownership of land in the valley was technically illegal and settlers were considered squatters on federal land. However, people had come by the hundreds and it had been necessary for the settlers to establish their own laws with respect to land ownership and transfer. Entire towns were founded under this territorial law system.
In March of 1867 the federal government began to establish laws which would lead to legal private ownership of land in Utah. When laws were in place, William Preston, second mayor of Logan, traveled to Salt Lake City to receive a federal land patent for the entire city. Logan was properly incorporated according to federal law by 1870, the patent was recorded with the Cache County probate judge, and individuals were then able to go and properly record their land ownership with the said judge.
Mayor Preston's actions were acknowledged with a certificate that left Washington, D.C. in September of 1872 and finally arrived in Logan in December 1872. The document previously mentioned is this certificate, and it reveals much about the early establishment of Logan, Utah.

Delicious! I grew potatoes for the first time this year and my mom kept talking about this special dish that one of her aunts used to make. I was so happy to find this recipe and re-create it for my mom. I used finely chopped white onion instead of green onion. Home run!
Jun 19, 2013
This is a delicious side dish. My husband loves peas but is not a huge fan of potatoes but he will eat second helpings when I make these. I do amp it up a teeny bit by sautéing one minced clove of garlic in the butter and sprinkling with freshly ground black pepper just prior to serving.
Mar 26, 2013
This was one of my favorites when I was growing up. My Grandma always made it with fresh peas out of the garden and I still make it 50 years later. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Apr 2, 2011
This is a very good recipe and we will definitely make it again. Next time, I'm gonna add some carrots to it though. :)
May 26, 2009
Oh my goodness!! This is a great side. My grandma used to prepare cream peas, never with potatoes. It was one of my favorite dishes. My daughter made this for a family get together, we ate it all. Great recipe!

FINAL reductions, 75% off signs, and buy-one-get-one-free offers all over the shop...
Showing restraint in January is difficult and, when it comes to the sales, virtually impossible.
Little wonder our wardrobes and closets are bulging at the hinges.
The average woman's wardrobe houses more than 600 dresses and 400 pairs of shoes over the course of a lifetime, according to a recent study by MyCelebrityFashion.co.uk, while a poll by Sure Women Linen Dry last year revealed we spend a whopping £84,000 on clothes.
However, despite that, around two thirds of us (63%) throw away unwanted garments rather than re-selling or recycling them.
Now, with a wave of new season trends about to hit stores, it's time to detox your wardrobe.
But don't designate your fashion disasters to the scrap heap - here's how to clear out your closet and keep your conscience.
January is the ideal time to assess your fashion hits and misses.
More than a third of women (37%) admit they purchased at least two pieces of clothing that follow the latest fashion trends each month, according to recent research by MyVoucherCodes.co.uk.
"By the end of January all the fashion magazines bring out their trend predictions for the year, so you can see which items in your wardrobe are worth holding on to for next season," advises Mark Heyes, stylist on ITV1's Lorraine and Ecover's Wear & Care Feel Good fashion expert.
"Be honest. Ask yourself when the last time was that you wore something. If it's an item that's been at the back of the wardrobe for a couple of years or more then it needs to go because it's unlikely you're ever going to wear it again."
Assess your sizing too. If you're holding on to a size 10 dress that you were squeezing into years ago, it's time to say goodbye.
There's no need to throw away clothes just because they are surplus to your style requirements. Instead, take them to a charity shop or recycling centre.
Another great way of minimising wardrobe waste - and snapping up new additions in the process - is with swishing, aka clothes swapping.
Whether it's an organised gathering or a group of friends or colleagues, swishing parties are going down a storm in the current cash-strapped times.
"If they don't suit you any more, get together with your friends for a swishing event and swap your gorgeous but unwanted garments to get something that's brand spanking new to you," suggests Heyes.
"Swishing is the perfect way to enhance your wardrobe as it means you get a whole new look without spending a penny, and it's a great social event too."
If it's a professional event there are often guidelines to abide by, to ensure the clothes are of similar quality and that the swapping is fair. Nobody wants to donate a designer handbag and end up with a bargain basement clutch, after all.
If you're organising your own swishing event, ensure you have a few rules in place, and that everybody's aware of them so that you can all strut away with something amazing.
There may well be hidden gems at the back of your closet that simply need some TLC.
Sort out the clothes that require repairs and either fix them yourself or take them to the tailors. Leave it to the experts if you're inept with a needle or if it's a tricky repair.
You can also inject new life into tired clothes with a stain remover, and get extra mileage out of your everyday clothes with careful washing.
Heyes says: "Ask yourself whether you need really need to give your clothes a full wash, or if they just need a 'refresh' on a quick spin (which saves energy too).
"Just remember to always check the care label, as there are many garments, especially ones with beading or those made from delicate fabrics, that you should only wash by hand to ensure they're kept in tip-top condition."
If you're a fan of seasonal wardrobe separation and like distinct summer and winter wardrobes, store your clothing in an environment with a controlled temperature to avoid damp, mould and mildew getting onto the clothes. Avoid attics and cellars, which are often prone to extreme atmospheres.
If you're rewarding yourself with a new closet addition, think investment.
Shop with a business-savvy head and you may even make money on your purchases.
"When people hear the term investment they automatically think designer items that cost thousands, but the high street is a goldmine of collectable clothes that over time will go up in value as long as they are stored and looked after properly," says Tracy Martin, TV fashion collectables expert.
Here are her tips for hunting out future fashion collectables:
:: Seek items that are only available for a short length of time. H&M collaborations with high-end designers such as Versace and Marni have already increased in value.
:: Look at pieces from the emerging breed of new designers. Examples include Olivia Rubin and Holly Fulton. They will grow into fashion icons of the future and the cost of items from these type of collections will rise rapidly.
:: Classic pieces always stand the test of time but won't necessarily become sought-after in the future - wacky, quirky and controversial pieces are more likely to command interest, especially if they have a designer name attached such as Vivienne Westwood or Alexander McQueen.
:: Art, colour and embellishments reign supreme with fabulous prints and/or sparkles always attracting attention with collectors.

Book sales in the basement of East Morgan County Library will soon be open again for business! With the renovation complete in the interior of the EMCL basement, Brush area Library Friends have set the dates for their first book sale in their new surroundings.
To celebrate the opening, the traditional pre-sale only for 2013 Friends members is to be held in the new room Wednesday, July 3, from 1 to 3 p.m. This special pre-sale will include refreshments for members as they browse the entirely new collection of books and other media available for sale.
An open house for the public will follow the same day on July 3 in the book sales room from 3 to 5 p.m. During this extended time, the public may also take advantage of book sales and enjoy refreshments.
The annual July Fourth sale will be held as usual in conjunction with the pancake breakfast in Library Park. This sale will commence at 7 a.m. and continue until 10 a.m. when the parade begins. The sale resumes following the parade from approximately 11:30 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. (Refreshments are not available during the July Fourth book sale.)
The library is still accepting donations for their totally new collection in the sales room. Those wishing to donate may simply bring items to the front desk in the library. Children's books, DVD's, and CD's are especially needed and in demand for the sales. The library no longer accepts VCR video tapes for the sales.

The story about the killing of U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens and three State Department employees is being labeled foreign news by TV stations and newspapers. But it's also a California story.
Indeed, three facets of the story are rooted in California, and taken together they show the best and worst of the state.
The best is represented by Stevens, a Bay Area native who, in the most honorable of traditions in this globally-oriented state, reached out and embraced the world. He studied hard, focused on language, and devoted his career to public service in some of the world's most challenged countries, mostly in the Middle East.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
The worst is represented by the hateful, paranoid, and fear-mongering producers of the movie, The Innocence of Muslims, which was made and released in Southern California, by Southern Californians. Details of how the film came together are still coming out, but those who have acknowledged association are people with history of offering conspiracy theories and promoting anti-Muslim views.
This is wholly unsurprising; California has a very long history as a haven for crackpots and conspiracists.
And that third facet of the story?
In Egypt, the film has been cited as a reason for attacks on the U.S. embassy in Cairo. These attacks did not draw much of a condemnation from Egypt's President Mohamed Morsi; some observers saw his government as even tacitly encouraging the attacks.
What's this have to do with California? Morsi is an alumnus of the University of Southern California, a national leader in foreign students. The outreach by American higher education to foreign students has many goals, chief among them the ideal that education can be a bridge of understanding, and that the U.S. will benefit when it educates future global leaders. Sadly, in this case, Morsi hasn't lived up to the ideals of the institution that helped with his education.
Thinking of this story this way is provocative, and offers only a narrow take on a complex series of events. But it's also worth remembering that putting garbage out into the world, as the film's makers did, can have consequences.
On Sunday, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice called the fatal attack in Benghazi a "spontaneous reaction" to the chaos sparked by the 15-minute video.
The garbage in this case spurred a series of events that ended with the taking of the life of Stevens, his colleagues and dozens of others. Their blood is on the hands of those who did the killing. But the actions of the worst can sometimes contribute to hurting the best.

There are a number of costs you need to consider when it comes to purchasing a holiday home including the mortgage, council tax, and last but not least, holiday home insurance.
Naturally, you want to make sure you get a good deal on your holiday home insurance, however it's also important to know that you have the right level of cover.
Holiday home insurance is a specialist form of insurance for anyone who owns a holiday home. A holiday home insurance policy will offer protection against accidental damage and offer public liability protection giving you peace of mind.
Not everyone who chooses to buy a holiday home decides to go abroad, in fact the UK has a thriving tourist industry thanks to our range of beautiful towns and villages. Furthermore, many people see purchasing a second home as an investment that will one day pay off, which is why it is important to ensure you have adequate protection to cover against all types of damage that may occur.
Unfortunately, not everything always goes to plan when owning a second home. Intasure helps customers find holiday home insurance both in the UK and abroad, so make sure you get a quote with us today!
As your holiday home is not your primary residence it's likely that it will be left unoccupied for certain periods of time. This is why some holiday home owners decide to let out their properties in order to make a bit of extra cash during a time when their properties would otherwise be left empty.
If you do choose to let out your holiday home it's of the utmost importance that you have the right cover, otherwise you could be left out of pocket should your tenants cause any damages. Furthermore, you need to consider the legal and financial aspects of letting your property, which is why proper protection is essential.

SoLiD Testing and Product Development
The Elddis team head to Germany for latest tests.
SoLiD Construction - Exclusive to Elddis, Compass, Xplore and Buccaneer caravans and motorhomes
Working with Henkel, our World-renowned structural bonding partner, we have created the first and only fully-bonded construction system for touring caravans and motorhomes.
SoLiD Construction is unique and our jointing system, coupled with Henkel's tried and tested structural bonding adhesives, spreads the stresses and strains evenly across all joints and creates an impervious barrier to water ingress.
Our philosophy is simple. We stop water getting in.
We do not believe in talking about 'managing' water ingress – which inevitably does happen in competitor products which are held together by mechanical screws or bolts.
Instead, in an industry-first for touring caravans and motorhomes, we use chemical bonding to create a structure that is built in the same way as motor cars and aeroplanes – and using only the best and most appropriate materials. And by applying the very best of automotive technology to the leisure vehicle industry, we have accelerated our position to leaders in motorhome and touring caravan production.
Despite the strength and durability of SoLiD Construction our products are easily repairable and every one of our approved retailers and service centres has been trained in the repair of our fully-bonded construction.
SoLiD Construction has been developed, tried and tested for over six years – and so confident are we in our fully-bonded construction, it is used on every single one of our touring caravans and motorhomes, all of which come backed by our FREE class-leading 10 Year Water Ingress Warranty.
SoLiD Construction is Strong.
SoLiD Construction is Light.
SoLiD Construction is Dry…
… and SoLiD Construction is exclusive to Elddis, Compass, Xplore and Buccaneer.
SoLiD is strong
Our caravans and motorhomes have more integrity and rigidity by spreading stresses and strains evenly across all joints.
SoLiD is light
Our fully-bonded construction system enables us to make not only stronger, but lighter vehicles - allowing us to add even more class-leading specification whilst maintaining our lightweight advantage.
SoLiD is dry
With over 95% fewer exterior screws, SoLiD Construction creates an impervious barrier to water ingress, backed by our industry-leading 10 Year Water Ingress Warranty.

When I say that I have some cute and fun stuff for you today, I really mean it. Now, I would have thought of this idea for a tutorial if I wasn't so loaded with work. I was asked if I could make a lesson on "how to draw a golden retriever puppy", step by step. Of course I jumped on this idea because how many folks and families that you know of have one of these dog breeds. It seems like everywhere I turn everybody has a golden retriever for a pet, and if not a retriever it's a Labrador. Anyways, I made this concept of a GR puppy a little older than the previous versions. I know I probably should have drawn a younger stage, but I kind of wanted to switch up the drawing style a bit and since there is no way that a bulldog puppy can look any other way. I'm sure I will continue to get more and more requests for me to make other puppy drawing lessons, so until then have fun with this tutorial on one of the world's most popular dog breeds, "how to draw a golden retriever puppy". I will be back in a bit so try and stay tuned in to see what else I have for you all. Peace out people and enjoy!
DragoArt members upload artwork and drawing tutorials! They are also allowed to leave comments on tutorials, profiles, etc. Many more features, as well; it's way better than just being a boring guest! Register Now!

May 2, 2016 - CHINA - A major sandstorm has swept through China's Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region and Qinghai Province, causing severe air pollution.
On Sunday, high winds whipped up the sandstorm in Xinjiang's Aksu Prefecture, dropping visibility to less than 900 meters.
The sandstorm has also disrupted road traffic and caused flight cancellations and delays.
In Korla County, the storm significantly slowed down traffic and caused residents to suffer breathing difficulties.
The local meteorological department said that the sandstorm is expected to last through Monday.
WATCH: Sandstorm, wildfire rage parts of northwest China.
Another sandstorm coupled with winds of up to 70 kilometers per hour also hit Golmud County in Haixi Mongol and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Qinghai Province, disrupting traffic in several streets.
Local forecasters said that sandstorms and high winds are expected in multiple districts of the prefecture within the next 12 hours.
In recent years, China has seen extremely high levels of air pollution particularly in the northeast, the industrial heartland of the country.
Scientific studies attribute 1.4 million premature deaths per year to China's smog, or almost 4,000 per day.

DWTS Season 11, Week 7 – The "Non-Elimination" Mystery
Well, this is very interesting indeed. First, we read this in People Magazine Online:
• A rep for DWTS announced backstage that next week's competition will feature two teams, led by former DWTS champions. Contestants' scores will be added together, and the team with the higher score will be free from elimination. Apolo Ohno will lead Jennifer Grey, Brandy and Kurt Warner. And Kristi Yamaguchi will work with Palin, Rick Fox and Kyle Massey.
But here is the ABC Press Release from Thursday:
By Tuesday evening's end, one couple will be eliminated, as determined by a combination of the judges' scores and viewers' votes on dances performed on Monday's performance show. Who among the six remaining teams will be next to leave the ballroom floor?
* BRANDY, actress and singer, and partner MAKSIM CHMERKOVSKIY.
* RICK FOX, former NBA champion and partner CHERYL BURKE.
* JENNIFER GREY, beloved film and television actress, DEREK HOUGH.
* KYLE MASSEY, television teen star, and partner LACEY SCHWIMMER.
* BRISTOL PALIN, teen advocate and Alaska's first daughter, and partner MARK BALLAS.
* KURT WARNER, former pro-NFL quarterback, and partner ANNA TREBUNSKAYA.
Hosted by Tom Bergeron ("America's Funniest Home Videos") and Brooke Burke ("Dancing with the Stars" Season 7 champion), the celebrities perform choreographed dance routines which will be judged by renowned Ballroom judge Len Goodman and dancer/choreographers Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba.
Viewers may cast their votes for their favorite teams via phone on Monday night during and up to 30 minutes after the "Dancing with the Stars" performance shows. Wireless customers with AT&T may also text message their votes by texting the word "VOTE" to the number that corresponds to the team they want to support (message and data rates may apply). Viewers may also vote online at www.abc.com starting from the opening of each episode on the East Coast. Fans may cast the maximum limit of votes for each voting method.
So, who screwed the pooch here? Did People Magazine TOTALLY get it wrong, or did the producers change their mind after seeing a bit of an uproar over the idea?? Because it was not just people on this site who saw that and had the same reaction we did. In any case, it sounds like the team dances will be business as usual. I said this in the comments earlier in the week (comment #99):
Hmmm….I wouldn't put so much stock in the way People reports it. It doesn't quite make sense. Like WHAT scores are added together? Are they going to individually score each member of the team and then add those numbers up to get a total? Because that would be new. If they add the individual dance numbers up, why even have a group dance at all?? I think there is a piece missing here.
Really, kind of a crock of shit, but they're just being more blatant about doing what they've always done – they use the group dances and the double scores, etc. as a way of thinning the herd.
Either way, it's a VERY good example of why you shouldn't just automatically believe what you read on the web. The bad thing is, if People screwed up then they should print a retraction, because they did some damage, IMO. I will still expect the judges to use the team dances to benefit Jennifer and Brandy, but People put a spotlight on the ability of the producers to mess around that some might not have realized before. Some people might believe that the producers changed their mind after they saw the uproar on the net. Not really a good thing to have out there.
Also interesting, when trying to find the original source of the "non-elimination" thing, I saw a blog from associated content that cracked that it seemed like dancing was no longer the emphasis of Dancing with the Stars. No sh*t, Sherlock. 🙂 THAT, my friends, is a succinct statement of my problem with DWTS this season.
After all this, who will have time to think about next week's dance performances? Because after this season's distracting themes and the shocking ousting of Audrina Patridge, it's starting to look like the dance is the least important part of "Dancing With the Stars".

Google's "Doodle 4 Google" art contest launched Wednesday with the tech giant asking for submissions to compete for a $15,000 scholarship and a $25,000 grant for the winner's school.
The fourth annual contest has a theme of, "What I'd like to do someday . . ." which Google hopes will whet creative appetites.
Personally, I think it's too vague and the more geeky of the kids who want to create spaceships tend to be more visual than those who want to be poets or veterinarians.
U.S. & World
Tasked with judging the doodles will be "The View"'s Whoopi Goldberg, ice skater and gold medalist Evan Lysacek and "Garfield" creator Jim Davis, the official Google blog announced.
Winners will be whittled from 400 state finalists to 40 regional finalists, then to three national finalists before a single winner is announced.
Additionally, Google will be adding two After School Program Quality Awards, consisting of 20 netbook computers and a $2,500 grant to a Girl Scouts of the USA troop and the other to a Boys & Girls Clubs of America center.
Competitors must register by March 2, with all doodles postmarked by March 16. Only one entry per student is allowed. The winning entry will be displayed on the Google main page on May 20.

Hefty mobile bills should be capped by punters, says Ofcom
Latest brainwave to stamp out monthly heart attacks
Analysis Ofcom will push for greater EU regulation to tackle steep mobile bills, and voluntary application of that regulation outside the EU, but won't force operators to do anything unless they do nothing.
In a statement (PDF, long, dull, insufficiently shocking) the regulator reports that data is now the biggest cause of unexpectedly high bills, and that international roaming caused most of the (estimated) 1.4 million surprise billing events that took place between April and September last year.
The EU is already addressing that, and should be passing more regulation in June, but Ofcom wants those rules applied to the rest of the world as well as at home.
Travellers within the EU are already supposed to receive advice on charges for voice, text and data services when their handset first roams onto a network. Data is also capped at €50 and network operators are required to send a text alert when the user hits 80 per cent of that, and cut them off at €50 unless the user requests greater data.
In June the EU is scheduled to extend those rules, as well as bringing in a Eurotariff for roaming data that all operators will be required to offer. That's worked well for voice calls, allowing operators to continue undercutting each other and offering value-added tariffs, but requiring all of them to also offer the Eurotariff as an effective, but not mandated, cap on the rate.
The details of that won't come out until April. Ofcom says that even if the EU doesn't act, it will require UK operators to implement something along those lines. It would also like to see UK operators applying the same rules to customers travelling outside the EU, and to extend the idea to customers at home too.
Restrictions for your own good
If that happens then contract users (and pre-paid, but the issue here is those getting a monthly bill) will be able to opt themselves in to restricted use. So one could decide to cap one's own use at, say, £30 a month, and the operator would be required to send at text when one hits 80 per cent of that, and cut off the phone at 100 per cent. One could then call up and have the cap removed, on demand, but it would require an interaction with the operator and some sort of authentication too.
That would also take the heat off bills generated by stolen phones, which Ofcom reckons is a small problem but one which makes a big difference to the minority it hits. Ofcom would like, eventually, to see the opt-in cap switched to an opt-out system requiring every mobile phone user to set their preferred monthly cap, but it's not going to insist on that just yet.
At home Ofcom has established that excessive billing is largely caused by users' lack of understanding about how they're charged for data - users don't understand why an hour spent viewing YouTube should be more expensive than an hour spent browsing Twitter feeds. That will come as no surprise to anyone who remembers the early days of WAP. Back then networks struggled with the lack of customer understanding with a variety of billing models including by-the-page, by-the-minute and by-the-click, before settling on actual data consumption as the only thing that could be impartially measured and billed for, and set about explaining to customers what that meant.
It seems that conclusion was premature, or the education was impractical as data use expanded beyond the technically-literate (and, more importantly, the technically interested) so an alternative is needed and Ofcom's suggestions seem eminently sensible. ®

When Bill McBride speaks, we listen.
McBride is the writer behind the pathbreaking economics blog Calculated Risk, a site which we've been reading for years, due to an obsession with chronicling the datapoints that surpasses our own.
McBride doesn't always make "calls" but when he does they're done with a feel for the drivers of the economy that are more reality-based than just about any other pundit out there.
He was early on calling for the housing crash, and he nailed its causes and ripple effects.
And yet unlike many other early doomers, he switched his view at the right time (basically the bottom) and has been right since then.
He called the housing rebound in 2011, and has continued to be optimistic.
And so you should know that he recently stated again his optimism about the US economy, which basically boils down to a few simple ideas: Just due to pent up demand and demographics, we're still at the early stages of the real estate cycle, and if you believe that that cycle is going to continue to improve, then there's virtually no chance of an imminent recession. Add in the return of growth from state and local (which are done with their multi-year austerity campaign), the end of the fiscal drag, and the end of the household deleveraging, there's a case to be made that plenty of cyclical upward drivers persist.

Soil for Potted Plants
Plants should be grown in fertilised potting mix. Make or buy a fertilised mix which consist of coco peat moss or coconut fiber (coir), vermiculite or perlite, compost and other ingredients. A lightweight soil for potted plants needs to provide good drainage, hold moisture, and give roots room to grow.
Light Requirements
All plants depend on light for their survival, and making sure your potted plants get the right amount of light is key to keeping them happy. For both indoor and outdoor containers, group plants with similar light requirements. Don't mix shade lovers with sun lovers in a single pot; one or both of them will be unhappy, depending on where you place the pot.

Tarragon has a unique flavour that's a mix of aniseed and vanilla. Our micro version is even stronger!
Microgreens are more mature than sprouts but are harvested before reaching full maturity. In the past, they've been most commonly used in fine dining restaurants, but are now becoming popular across households and a wider set of restaurants. Studies have found that in general, microgreens have considerably higher levels of vitamins and carotenoids when compared to their mature plant counterparts. This makes them great for many purposes beyond traditional cooking, including diet regimens, and for toddlers and growing children learning about the importance of vegetables and healthy eating.

CU, CSU rookie free agents await NFL offers
The career limbo of several former Colorado and Colorado State football players is near an end.
That labor settlement allows NFL teams to conduct their annual land grab of rookie free agent talent. Usually the undrafted players are taken within hours of the end of the draft. The labor dispute left all those summer camp hopefuls awaiting their future.
For CU, fan favorite linebacker B.J. Beatty and wide receiver Travon Patterson would be likely candidates for a call.
CSU's Zac Pauga brings a dimension as a true fullback for an NFL offense while Scott Albritton is marketable as a long snapper if recovered from ACL surgery. Local favorite Ricky Brewer should also get a look.

Josh Lucas Gossip
Josh Lucas gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Kat Dennings: Nifty in Vancouver
Another girlcrush, another reason why Lindsay Lohan is almost forgettable, Kat Dennings is currently in Vancouver shooting Daydream Nation (written and directed by Canadian Mike Goldbach) with Josh Lucas. She was on set yesterday – gorgeous, luscious, quirky, and determined not be sucked into that generic LA cesspool of vapid, skinny bitches and their vapid skinnier sycophants. Full Story
McGosling glimmer
I thought they were nuts. Then the Twi-Hards came along and redefined crazy. But before Stephenie Meyer ignited the lunatic gene in those losers, the McGoslings did indeed foam all over the internets hoping the real life rowboat would happen. Oh those halcyon days. When Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling rushed across the MTV stage and gave us a kiss to remember forever… It ended eventually and for a while there, especially this past spring, it looked like The Notebook had been burned beyond recognition. Full Story
Are you moving?
Despite all her success, Rachel McAdams, up to this point, has not been lured away from home. She continues to live in Toronto and stays close to her family home about 2 hours outside of the city… until now? Spotted today – Rachel and Josh Lucas apartment hunting in New York. They reportedly fell in love very quickly, are very serious about each other, now of course there's talk that they're buying together. Full Story
McGosling is dead
Tonight on eTalk… World exclusive: the first official photos of Rachel McAdams and Josh Lucas together in Toronto all over each other and it's not just what they were doing but WHERE they were doing it… At the same place she and Ryan Gosling were last shot all PDA and loved up last summer. Full Story
McGosling setback
Suicide watch today. Because Rachel McAdams has a new boyfriend. It's Josh Lucas. They were at the Purple Ball on Tuesday night not just holding hands but, like, neck biting. Neck biting in public means there's a lot of sex happening. This is good news and bad news for those still holding out hope for Rachel and Ryan Gosling. Full Story
Dolce Quiver
Aside from Sean Avery, most of the attendees at the D&G opening today were total quivers including a scruffy Josh Lucas, the aforementioned hotness Jason Lewis, and Rufus Sewell who does not get enough love because he is always, always the bad guy. But seriously…he is pure sex, non? Pure, pure sex. Full Story

Photographer's Note
And now for something completely different.....for me at least.
I took delivery of my new Canon EOS 1D Mark2N just before a trip to Japan and pretty much every photo I took on that trip was an experiment with my new camera. It was a dark and rainy day in Hiroshima and to get any decent shutter speed I needed to set the ISO at 1600 knowing full well I would have noise to deal with. Nonetheless I liked the way this one turned out.
I have discovered that TE'ers are a fickle breed and are often times difficult to please. I think we all submit photos we think will be well-received only to be left wondering what went wrong. No matter, the game is what it is and everybody plays by the same rules....whatever they are....and I like to play. It's the thrill of victory or the agony of defeat with every post.

Hi Gregory
I love it! Simple and beautiful.
I like the crop and the way you placed the people in it, catching a complete shadow in the lower corner, and the very few colors, makes it look like you converted to B+W and then kept the colors on the bag and umbrellas.
The noise suits it as well.
pcp (3396) 2008-02-04 19:47
Hi Gregory,
Really sensational and lovely shot... brilliant in composition. and partial saturation... well done.,
jmcl (14535) 2008-02-04 20:33
Hi Gregory,
What a well seen scene .. beautiful colors .. I love the reflections .. great composition .. I think the noise works with this in a strange way .. striking crop as well. Striking image.
take care,
Polonaise (5802) 2008-02-04 20:35
I like tour work (Yes ! Work !), tremedously, Greg.
I'm fully aware it's been seriously trimmed to achieve the final results as they are, but...
It's always the final effect that really counts.
These 'Les Parapluis De Cherbourg' - Japanese edited version - is as cute as a bud, and can satisfied the most refined eye.
No reason to be depressed, pal.
The frilled, 'oh, so cute' frame, with even more cute dropped shadow...?
I'l tell you the secret, Greg...
Your photo is so damn good and standing so well on its own legs - it doesn't need any extra make up (?) But, don't say about it to anyone...shhhhh
Wanda1 (15142) 2008-02-04 21:08
Hi Gregory,
Simply great! I like the format you have chosen it suits the shot nicely. A very well balanced shot with the group of umbrellas right at the top of the shot and the umbrella at the bottom. Love the graininess and atmosphere.
vts_ch (2624) 2008-02-04 22:42
Hi Greg,
Nice format here, lots of dynamism and brilliant idea.
horatiuTT (4570) 2008-02-04 22:59
not a bad one...in my opinion the quality is very good,the focus
is made on the shadow,lovely tones,but something in the composition I don't like...not very balanced I think ,and narrow framing at top.Well done!Have a great day
jorgi (3810) 2008-02-05 0:29
Hi Gregory,
this is very bold framing, not usual. But it is absolutely excellent. You did framed great composition of two related motives. BW work is in place and leaving upper umbrellas colourfull gives this capture quite symbolic meaning: silhuette in the bottom (loneliness, solitude) and group of girls above (company, joy, chit chat...). Grainy output does not bother, just opposite, I think it gives this capture additional plus, a feeling of rainy gray day. Excellent work!
Kind regards,
pineapple (74) 2008-02-05 0:39
wow, love the shot, awesome framing... getting the solitary person with umbrella, then the high school girls at the top AND managing to get the full reflection of the solitary umbrella weilding person!
... I guess that's the choice of cropping that has really made the shot!
AmiBe (6042) 2008-02-05 3:55

very well seen and original format.

Love the umbrellas... very photogenic.

I tell you the truth. This one is a victory. Nice framing so vertical, with the repetition of these umbrellas. In a first step, this shot is very easy to read and finally, many details just show up. TFS. Geraldine
ViktorVaughn (1525) 2008-02-09 20:27
I like this shot here Gregory, capturing one of the essences of Japan...the umbrella. I like your composition, was there quite a bit of distracting elements that you chose to crop it like this, or just a personal preference? I do like the cropping, perhaps a bit too narrow, but only slightly.
charlotte_iona (1111) 2009-03-25 4:43
very artistically shot and framed, lovely work.
PS: Like you, I sometimes can't understand TE'ers! I don't know why this shot has been so overlooked!
mayjayne (7380) 2012-01-15 0:22
The subjects are well placed in this shot - the separation by the diagonal line and colours of the umbrellas both add points of interest to what is already there.
daddo (28726) 2012-02-23 19:34
Hi Gregory. I had read your intro a while back and read it again today, plus had a look at part of your gallery. I like your attitude, humour and photos. Nice scroll filled with the prevailing mood one meets on a wet day, yet the spots of colour add a little excitement to the otherwise grey day. Best wishes. Klaudio.
westcoastgirl1 (666) 2012-08-28 16:05
Hi Gregory
Yes I see what you mean by the graininess but it definitely adds to the atmosphere of this shot. Love that you included the lady's full shadow in the fg. The umbrellas in the bg are great colours and add some visual interest to this simple scene.
Take care,

Court asked to unseal Lanza warrants
DANBURY -- An attorney representing The News-Times is asking court officials to reconsider their decision to shield from public view the search warrant affidavits for the cars and home of Sandy Hook massacre gunman Adam Lanza and his mother.
While saying there are unlikely to be any arrests in the case, State's Attorney Stephen Sedensky argued last month that the documents should remain sealed for the next three months to allow detectives to work on the investigation, "unencumbered by distractions."
Attorney Stephen Yuhan said in a letter sent to Judge John Blawie that the prosecutor gave no information about how the investigation would be compromised if the documents were released to the public.
"We feel strongly that it is in the public's interest to know what's in these documents," said Barbara T. Roessner, executive editor of Hearst Connecticut Media Group, of which The News-Times is a member.
The News-Times was joined in the request by The New York Times, The Washington Post Co., The Associated Press, and The Journal News of Putnam, Westchester and Rockland counties in New York.
Sedensky said in a motion filed last month to have documents sealed that any release of the information would "jeopardize the investigation and any chances of solving any crimes involved."
Sedensky also said in his motion that releasing sensitive information could identify people cooperating with the investigation, "possibly jeopardizing their personal safety."
The prosecutor declined to elaborate on the request Monday except to say the court felt it was appropriate.
"The court considered our request to seal the warrants and decided that our request was appropriate," Sedensky said.
Yuhan, however, argued that simply because a case is open and still under investigation doesn't give law enforcement officials the right to seal the documents under state law.
"The plain language of (state law) ... indicates than an open investigation, without more, is not sufficient grounds for continued sealing," the attorney said in the letter sent to Blawie last Thursday.
Yuhan added there are several reasons why releasing the information would not hamper the investigation, including Sedensky's own comments that no arrests in the case are anticipated.
Yuhan said the reason the state sought the search warrants is "neither secret" from the public "nor difficult to discern."
The five search warrant affidavits include three for the Yogananda Street home where the 20-year-old Lanza fatally shot his mother, Nancy, four times in the face on the morning of Dec. 14 before embarking on the rampage that left 20 first-graders and six educators dead.
The sealing order also covers the search warrants for the 2010 Honda Civic that Adam Lanza drove to the school and for Nancy Lanza's 2009 silver BMW, which was parked in the garage attached to the home.
If the order sealing the documents for 90 days had not been granted, the affidavits -- along with an inventory of evidence seized by investigators -- would be publicly available.

Niemann Should Claim the Rays Fifth Slot
So the Tampa Bay Rays are going to draw this drama out for one more day. Seems kind of silly since we basically know that barring a possible trade, the team will probably hoist the "Tall Texan" Jeff Niemann as their fifth starter for the regular season. His main opponent, Wade Davis has basically conceded the decision after a bad outing in his last Spring start. With Davis's comments after his start on Sunday, you would have thought the decision was already made and he was eager to hit the Bullpen and come out swinging this season in the latter innings.
But do not think a little competitive edge did not favor Niemann since he has clearly been in this position before and has played his part staying consistent on the mound this Spring, trying to provide ammunition for name being selected for the last rotation spot. It was only a few seasons ago Niemann and Jason Hammel were in different minor league games that were to decide the fifth spot, but Hammel ended up being traded to the Colorado Rockies at the conclusion of that day's activities, which made that Springs decision moot.
In all honesty, Niemann has done nothing this Spring to fall from grace with the Rays staff. Even his refusal of a small raise and going to salary arbitration over a measly $500,000 ( he lost) was viewed as a "business decision" and the Rays front office holds no animosity towards his Winter decision. In hindsight, the fact Niemann had the confidence and internal constitution to stand up to the Rays in arbitration. Some say arrogance can be the best gift for a pitcher.
In Niemann's corner is the fact he has posted 3 straight 10+ wins seasons as a starter. Only former Ray Scott Kazmir can say the same. How soon we all forget Niemann started 2011 0-3 in 4 starts before he went 11-4 in 19 starts the rest of the season. Add onto this the fact Niemann has been an amazing "road warrior" for the Rays holding a .700 winning percentage (21-9) over the last 3 years, which is second best in the majors. Suddenly you see a big hidden part of Niemann's success for the Rays.
But could Niemann or Davis be headed elsewhere, and the current decision is being withheld as the Rays take a last chance last-minute offering for someone currently "out of country". It is pretty common knowledge by now that the Rays covet Oakland A's catcher Kurt Suzuki as a great addition to their backstop corp and want to bring him into their fold. Problem is, neither Niemann nor Davis really whets A's GM Billy Beane's whistle, but with a delayed announcement and the Athletics playing over the International Dateline in Japan, maybe the time difference is Rays Executive VP of Baseball Ops Andrew Friedman's last grasp to try to land Suzuki.
Add into the equation that fact that Rays Manager Joe Maddon has set a few parameters as to who would get the " 5th gig", and with Davis's ERA sitting at an uncomfortable 4.91, barring a trade or possibly Niemann getting knocked out by a crossbeam in the Rays Clubhouse, the decision seems a bit moot.
One of Maddon's prerequisites was " who can help us win game early on in the season". Not sure if either of the two pitchers have distanced themselves in this category, but if you take into consideration Maddon second criteria of " who can be effective in the Bullpen", then Niemann is the guy who will inherit the 5th slot. If Niemann had great reliever qualities, he would have at least had a reserved seat in the Bullpen in October, but he was not even on the Rays post season roster.
Not knocking Niemann as a reliever, but the guy tends to need more time to warm-up, and as a reliever, your time is extremely limited. Add onto that the fact Davis has already commented he would go to the Bullpen and "kick butt". Even based on that kind of comment by Davis, you get the honest feeling that the decision has already been made in at least one player's mind.
Maybe this is a blessing in disguise for Davis who sometimes tends to hide some of his velocity on the hill, keeping it in reserve if needed. In the Bullpen, he can let it rain strikes and bring it full-bore and I bet Niemann will be the first guy to greet him on the dugout steps.
Some will say Niemann is the more polished of the two, but he has also shown a quality of getting fatigued and injured at the most important moments over the last few seasons. Still, Niemann boasts a .639 winning percentage over the last 3 MLB seasons (min 75 starts), and that is currently 8th best in the majors and is 27 points above Rays southpaw David Price (.612 percent). That is a considerably nice "stat" egg to have in your basket when consistency and winning are huge factors in this decision.
It was really Niemann's position to lose this Spring. Barring an injury over the last few games or a trade out of leftfield, he owns the 5th slot in the Rays rotation. The deeper you look into consecutive good outings and subsequential winning streaks, Niemann stands head and shoulders above Davis for that last rotation spot. But then again, there are not many who stand taller on the hill than the Texan.

In August 1995, Honda dropped an atomic bomb on the sports car world and redefined everyone's conceptions of what a front-wheel drive car could do. That car, of course, was the Integra Type R.
In this video, the boys at Best Motoring go in-depth (and in English!) about what made the ITR so very special. Nearly 20 years later, it remains quite possibly the best front-drive performance car ever made.
And of course, because this is Best Motoring, it includes with a multi-car battle on Tsukuba Circuit. I think those guys were contractually bound to do that on every episode.

If you ever wished your fat fingers would stop getting in the way of your iPhone's touch screen, a company called Canopy thinks it has an answer.
It's come up with an iPhone case, called Sensus, that adds touch-sensitive panels to the rear and sides of the phone. To get a feel for it, I tried a short demo of a space shooting game, where you must drag a small spaceship around while firing at incoming enemies. Controlling the ship through the rear touch panel instead of the iPhone's touch screen prevents your fingers from obscuring the action. (This may sound familiar to owners of Sony's PlayStation Vita, which has a rear touch panel built-in.)
Canopy has other uses in mind for Sensus. For instance, it's developed its own camera app with functions mapped to the touch sensitive strips on the sides of the phone. That way, you can tap the edge of the phone to turn the flash on or off, or to adjust other settings. Sensus relies on the iPhone for power, but doesn't eat away any battery life when its touch functions aren't in use.
(MORE: Check out TIME Tech's complete coverage of the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show)
It's an interesting concept, but one that will have a tough time gaining momentum. The usefulness of the device will be entirely dependent on app developers, who must add Sensus functionality to their software. At launch, Canopy expects support from roughly 20 to 50 apps–an insignificant sliver of the hundreds of thousands of apps in Apple's store. Still, Canopy's chief strategy officer, Matt Pacyga, said that several large game publishers have shown interest.
Canopy plans to launch Sensus this summer, priced somewhere between $59 and $99. It'll be available for the iPhone 4, 4S and 5. Pacyga seemed unsure about the possibility of an Android version, given how many different-sized phones are on the market.
You can check out a video of the Sensus case in action below.

"Steeped in the volatile political conflicts taking place in Italy at the time, the Hot Autumn of 1969, the rejection of the compromises of the Italian communist Party (PCI), the refusal of work, factory and university occupations, Elio Petri's film The Working Class Goes to Heaven explores the struggles in the factory in all their contradictions; between consumerism and work, alienation, libidinal desire, self-destruction and, potentially, collective action. The Working Class Goes to Heaven demonstrates an impressive and inspiring illustration of the exploitation of capital society and the alienation of workers under this system. It showed us how the ruling class manipulates the ideology into people's mind by alienating them through work, and how the workers are exploited with and without being conscious of that. Furthermore, it also gives us a sketch of the futility of reformism and the issues which will be confronted in the process of revolution."

NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Spirit used its navigation camera to take the images that have been combined into this full-circle view of the rover's surroundings during the 1,843rd Martian day, or sol, of Spirit's surface mission (March 10, 2009). South is in the middle. North is at both ends.
This view is presented as a vertical projection with geometric seam correction. North is at the top.
The rover had driven 36 centimeters downhill earlier on Sol 1854, but had not been able to get free of ruts in soft material that had become an obstacle to getting around the northeastern corner of the low plateau called "Home Plate."
The Sol 1854 drive, following two others in the preceding four sols that also achieved little progress in the soft ground, prompted the rover team to switch to a plan of getting around Home Plate counterclockwise, instead of clockwise. The drive direction in subsequent sols was westward past the northern edge of Home Plate.

NY Times , AP reported that Republicans were outraged by Reid reference to confidential FBI report -- but not that GOP staff made report's existence public last year
The Associated Press and The New York Times both reported that Republicans were outraged over a recent reference by Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) to a confidential FBI background check on Bush judicial nominee Henry Saad. But the AP and the Times failed to note that the existence of the FBI report has been public since June 2004, when Republican staffers inadvertently broadcast a discussion of the report over the Internet during a closed-door Judiciary Committee session.
The weblog Daily Kos first noted the GOP smear of Reid and highlighted the fact that the FBI report's existence had already been publicly disclosed.
Warning that Democrats would likely continue to filibuster Saad's nomination, Reid told the Senate: "All you need to do is have a member go upstairs and look at his confidential report from the FBI and I think you would all agree that there's a problem there" [AP, 5/13/05].
The New York Times reported on May 13 that Republicans and conservatives were "fuming" over Reid's mention of the report:
After the floor debate, Republicans and conservative activists were fuming over Mr. Reid's reference on the floor to the confidential F.B.I. background report on Henry W. Saad, a fourth judicial candidate from Michigan, saying his mentioning it was highly inappropriate.
On the same day, the AP reported that Reid "was criticized by conservatives for mentioning" the report. The AP quoted Jeffrey Mazzella, president of the Center for Individual Freedom: "With his unsubstantiated charges, Senator Reid unfairly and irresponsibly defames Judge Saad."
The Washington Times also wrote about the Republican "outrage" at Reid's reference to the FBI report, but unlike the other papers, The Washington Times quoted a Reid spokesman noting that this was not the first public mention of the report. From the May 13 Washington Times article by Charles Hurt:
Reid spokesman Jim Manley referred to an incident in June when the Senate Judiciary Committee met behind closed doors to review Judge Saad's file and inadvertently left a microphone turned on that broadcast part of the secret hearing onto the Internet. "The fact that there's an issue regarding Henry Saad's background is well-known," said Mr. Manley, who noted that Mr. Reid did not disclose any specifics from the file. "It's been discussed both in committee and on the floor before."
In a June 4, 2004, Washington Times article, Hurt reported that "Republican staffers" were apparently responsible for making the existence of the FBI report public:
Though several Republicans noted privately that the routine check had been completed more than six months ago and that no questions had arisen, Mr. Hatch acquiesced and removed the public and reporters to hold a meeting. ... Although the closed-door meeting succeeded in delaying Judge Saad's nomination one more week, it failed to remain secret. The hearing was broadcast over the Internet because of apparent inadvertence on the part of Republican staffers.
