Dear HG, A lot of your recipes call for The Laughing Cow Light Creamy Swiss cheese. I do NOT like Swiss cheese! Is there something else I can use? No-Swiss Miss
Hi No-Swiss Miss,
Good news... Despite the name, the Light Creamy Swiss wedges don't really taste like the slightly bitter, holey Swiss slices you're probably imagining. They're just creamy, mild, and amazing -- sort of like cream cheese but with a smoother texture and a more delicious flavor. And the stats are fantastic -- just 35 calories and 1.5g fat per spreadable wedge (PointsPlus® value 1*). If you haven't actually tried them, I highly suggest you toss aside any preconceived notions and give 'em a whirl -- you might be surprised to find you LOVE the flavor!
If you still can't embrace the Light Creamy Swiss wedges, there are MANY other flavors of Laughing Cow Light that work great in HG recipes. The French Onion flavor is perfect in egg mugs and anywhere else that could use a little onion goodness. The Blue Cheese has a very mild yet specific flavor, so it doesn't work well everywhere, but it's perfect for this pizza recipe (just nix the ranch mix), these jalapeño poppers, and this Creamy Cheesy Bacon 'Chini! The Queso Fresco & Chipotle is ideal for Mexican dishes like this cheesy quesadilla and this TV-famous stuffed chicken. Play around with all the light options! You could also use the Garden Vegetable and Classic Cream varieties of the Smooth Sensations 1/3 Less Fat Cream Cheese Spread -- just know that those have 10 extra calories and 2.5g more fat per wedge. And if you want something super basic to use in place of a wedge of the Swiss, try fat-free cream cheese -- use 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon in place of each wedge of Laughing Cow.
Now you've got lots of options. No more excuses for skipping recipes that call for those wedges... They're TOO good to pass up!
Hi Hungry Girl, I just got a new job, and I'll be traveling by plane once a month for business trips. I'm worried because it seems like all the food at the airport (not to mention plane food!) is bad for you. Got any advice for sticking to my diet? Wingin' It
Hi Wingin' It,
Congrats on the new job! I can totally relate -- I'm constantly traveling by plane for work. (In fact, right now I'm traveling around the country for my HUNGRY GIRL TO THE MAX! book tour.) And luckily, with the right info and some planning, it's definitely possible to stick to your diet. Pack Light (Snacks!) - Choose snacks and mini-meals with lots of fiber and/or protein to keep you feeling full. Snack bars, jerky, and portion-controlled cheese are all great. And pack a few craving killers, like lollipops and sugar-free dessert-ish gum as well as 100-calorie packs of your favorite nuts and other crunchy snacks. These should keep you out of trouble if fattening treats are calling your name! Click here and here for a whole bunch of my favorite travel-friendly emergency snacks. Preboarding Picks - If you've got a long flight ahead of you, you're much better off eating a meal at the airport (or bringing one on board) than relying on the in-flight options. A salad with grilled chicken (dressing on the side) is my go-to choice, and it's usually pretty easy to find at any airport terminal. Only see fast-food places? Click here for some helpful tips and picks. And if you forget to pack emergency snacks, now is the time to grab some. Most convenience stores at the airport have decent choices -- you just need to look for them, and read the labels. Popped chips and Nature Valley granola bars are both pretty common guilt-free finds. But watch out for "food fakers" like dried fruit and oversized bags of trail mix! In-Flight Done Right - When you're on a plane, it's important to stay hydrated. It's easy to confuse thirst with hunger, and those drink carts don't come around often. Buy a big bottle of water before you board, and stick with calorie-free sips during the flight. Save those calories for food! Speaking of which, airline food is notoriously high in calories and fat. Each of those pre-packaged snack boxes contains WAY too many items to be considered a snack. Although many airlines are starting to offer better-for-you options, there are still plenty pushing the same chips, cheese, and cookies. Click here to see our pal the Diet Detective's latest annual survey of airline food. Helpful stuff! Hope you're feeling more confident about your upcoming travels. Good luck!!

Milan's designers opted for sleek sophistication instead of the cheap money shot. The result? A slew of clothes with longevity.
BY Lisa Armstrong | 29 February 2012
JIL SANDER: Pragmatic Nostalgic
Dig out some Grace Kelly classics - particularly To Catch A Thief , High Society and Rear Window - and you should spot the starting point for this beautiful collection: classical mid-20th century couture. But retro clothes quickly become empty costume drama, so Raf Simons (this is his last collection for the house) brought his finely wrought nostalgia back to now with surprising colour combinations and subtly clashing materials (above). Luke Leitch
ALBERTA FERRETTI: Tailored Sophisticate
No sooner does Adele reveal that she prefers dressing primly to putting it all out there, then Milan steps into line. Alberta Ferretti explored a buttoned-up kind of allure in her show, with high necklines, below-the-knee hems and a self-assured, hard-boiled swagger that brought to mind Joan Crawford and Bette Davis. This is a departure from her normal draping and whispy chiffon - and a welcome one. Who doesn't love film noir, particularly when it yields glossy black leather dresses, supple as a criminal's conscience; and pinstripe suits, sharp as a stiletto. The tailoring was strong enough to seduce a Chandler: Raymond, not the the sappy one from Friends. Lisa Armstrong
SALVATORE FERRAGAMO: Gypsy Queen
Massimiliano Giornetti, in situ since 2010, is modernising this venerable Italian brand with brio. That means jettisoning gimmicks and concentrating on semi-strict, rather than slouchy, tailoring - this time in velvet and leather - and juxtaposing it with gold-stamped chiffon and drop-shouldered dresses in garnet or black. If the drop-waists on thick lace dresses were a mis-step, and some styling a bit overwrought, those gleaming knee-high boots more than compensated. Let's not forget that Salvatore Ferragamo started out in the Forties as a cobbler. This house makes quality footwear, and it doesn't charge crazy prices. LA
FENDI: Shapeshifter
Clothes are as varied as the women who wear them so, without being too Gok Wan about it, think about yourself before tackling your outfit. Karl Lagerfeld's collection for Fendi included some excellent examples of shape-manipulation sleight-of-hand. Wide, rigid, stomach-embracing lines contrasted with a fuller shape at the shoulder - which also obscured the upper arm but left the forearm displayed. This combination is perfect for anyone seeking an hourglass effect, even if their original hourglass runneth over. LL
ETRO: Business-like Boho
Well-cut trousers, a forgivingly long coat and a high-necked blouse: sounds a little middle-of-the-road. Yet safe, everyday shapes don't have to lack pizzazz: Etro is particularly big on dizzying patterns (it loves paisley), bold colour and visual tics that take you back to the Sixties. All of them were combined in a show that demonstrated why a permissive attitude to decoration and colour is the best way to inject interest into a conservative style. LL
MAXMARA: Modern Classicist
The main message seemed to be that, far from being cumbersome, a huge, serious coat or fabulously luxe pea-coat frees you up to wear something cute and slimline underneath - in this instance, shorts, three-quarter-length trousers with braces and stripey lightweight sweaters. Even at night, the cosy embrace of sheepskin coat has replaced the feathery bolero as a companion to satin evening dresses and bell-bottoms. Their shoes made sense: how else do you lift a khaki or camel if not with silver Mary Janes? LA
MARNI: Elegant Kook
The white tights with which Marni accessorised every look will be a minority pursuit, but they were a foil for the cropped-at-the-shin black trousers that came out with almost everything else. The trousers were part of what Consuelo Castiglioni described as "my ongoing love affair with all things masculine. But I wanted to counteract the boyishness with curved, slender shapes." And that's what she did. Short-sleeved tops and belted jackets had an almost hour-glass outline, but there were plenty of loose, drop-belted coats and dresses for those who avoid obvious come-hither dressing. Stand by for Marni's forthcoming appearance at H&M. Are you ready for the scrum? LA
PRADA: Arthouse Maven
The models' dip-dyed hair and The Tiger Who Came to Tea eye make-up were characteristically quirky, so were the rubber-coated platform Mary Jane shoes. "Practical for winter," said Miuccia Prada backstage, although she almost slipped up when she took her bow in them. All the trouser suits and high-waisted jackets and coats will walk right out of the store, even if they end up being bought in black, rather than the clashing grid patterns, one being a vintage Prada print. "Black is easy but boring," said Prada. She must have had a tedious day: she was head to toe in it. LA
BOTTEGA VENETA: Film-noir Femme
Revealing clothes do not have to show acres of flesh. Bottega Veneta's uber-precise German designer Tomas Maier combined darker colours and form-fitting cut to create a collection that would work perfectly on a woman whose sensuality is hinted at rather than semaphored. "We took a very direct approach to the body this season," said Maier: "The look is covered up… yet the effect is powerfully physical." LL
ARMANI: Sleek Suit
Men wear suits because they have to, and hence often wear them badly: women should wear them - and wear them well. Armani is the best soft-line tailor in fashion, exemplified in this collection. The dark colours and block-like shape of a men's suit-based outfit distracts from the particulars of its wearer, while drawing the eye to a woman who's confident enough in her femininity to play with a masculine uniform. The rakish hats were a gimmick but looked good. LL

I have the ability to irritate people at the drop of a hat.
I Call it "Charm".
I like that, loganinkosovo...I have that same ability, only I call it "boyish charm".
Seriously, folks...I've learned, over time, that it's much easier not to tell people what abilities I have or had...some people want demonstrations, like it's a magic trick. These abilities are not magic tricks, they aren't for entertainment purposes. I finally came to the conclusion that it's just better not to talk about them...especially since it's like you're "bragging" about having certain abilities that almost anybody could have if they're willing to learn, practice and use these abilities with discretion.
In my beliefs, the gods have granted you the abilities to learn certain things...but they could also take these abilities away if you abuse them.

Canada as a child my family & I always enjoyed walking
through cemeteries & always had mixed feelings, emotions and
really strange messages but thought that was normal.
A lot of people used to say that I was overly sensitive and that I
would grow out of that. Yet couple of years ago I started to study
about the paranormal and that people are born with different kinds of
gifts & abilities. It was in December of 2006 that I had my very
first psychic experience by doing a reading using a family photo. Using
psychometry, which is doing readings by linking into someone's
emotional or spirit energy through photos & sometimes from
the internet and through television.
Plus at times when I'm doing a reading I can see brief images
of what happened to the person whom I'm communicating, with
the help of my Spirit Guide. I'm also involved with doing readings
for various missing children websites.

The PHP community definitely has its choice of frameworks to choose from - CakePHP, Zend Framework, Solar, Symfony - but according to Paul Jones there's some that "suck less".
I don't mean to put words in her mouth, but I'd prefer to extend Laura's phrasing a bit. I'd argue that "all frameworks from other people suck". The "other people" part is important here. It sucks to have to learn how someone else wants you to work, and that's a big part of what a framework needs from you: to learn how to use it. Learning someone else's code is much less rewarding in the short term than writing your own code.
He suggests that your framework is better because of just that - its yours. You know how it works, the ins and outs of the features and how its been refined down to just what's really needed. He does point out, though, that:
Sturgeon's law says 90% of everything sucks, and the development world is no different. Almost nothing is perfect for every developer: there's always significant room for valid criticism on any project, and even the best projects are lacking in at least one vital area (and that area is different for each project).

When you're developing as a player, and whether you've turned professional or not, it's really never too early to start passing on, and teaching to others what you've learned so far. The truth is, and I can vouch for this, you actually learn at an accelerated pace when you teach! I started showing others what I knew way back when I was still living at my parent's apartment in the Bronx, and was already developing a reputation as a player and as a teacher. I had students who'd take the subway up from Manhattan to see me, as well as many others I would travel to. At this point I was still around 19 years old, but was already in a couple of instruction books and was signed on to do my first book, Slide Guitar, for Oak Publications. This all gave me a great sense of self-confidence, and others really did want to learn from me.
Of course, for me, this was a time before the internet, and before there was a great guitarist on every block! The less competition was certainly also what made people willing to travel far for the info and wisdom, but even today, they still come from far and wide to see me. But now with the advent of grater and faster communication, I can bring my knowledge to you via such methods as my Gibson.com online lessons, these Blogs, and the Hot Licks videos and DVDs I created over the years.
And all of this started with the very humble beginnings of teaching myself, moving to Woodstock, gigging for several hard years and all the while, teaching wherever and whenever I could. I used to be inspired by some friends and relatives who at that time I'd visit and "pick things up" from. I did take a few formal classical guitar lessons, which greatly helped me get my act together at the early age of ten, but it was really the self-teaching and teaching others that truly made the difference for me!
I am a big believer in the fact that teaching does in fact, make you learn more. After all, where does all this knowledge come from in the first place? When I was asked to do my slide guitar book at the age of 19, and as I look back on that today, I really have to ask myself, "where did my knowledge come from?" I mean, I literally had to dissect and figure out what it was that seemed to make my technique and style "click" right from the start….why and how did I dampen those strings? Why was it best to fingerpick instead of flatpick? What are the best scales and shapes to work with, and on and on? Sure, I did some research on other well-known slide greats, because I wanted to cover a wide range in the book, and that also helped me gain a greater wealth of slide guitar knowledge that has always stayed with me.
So, in the long run, all of this early teaching has certainly paid off, and I have always held the art of teaching in just as high esteem as I do the art of playing. I hope you will too. It's one very noble thing to do, and you, and the others you help, will forever be grateful!

Still kickin' it old school
The most horrible, scandalous headlines have already been printed about George Michael short of murder and abuse and it's liberating for him. Now he can say and do whatever the f-ck he wants. This freedom is feeding our smut. His candour is amazing. And his new interview with the Guardian is what you hope all celebrity interviews to be: funny, honest, dirty, and completely uninhibited, especially as it relates to his sex life.
George has a boyfriend Kenny Goss. Like many other couples, George and Kenny have an understanding. It's not an understanding the MiniVan can accept to but it's a mutual understanding nonetheless. One that does not undermine their commitment to each other. So they both get it on the side and often and continue to love and respect their relationship…
Only George likes to get it on in the woods. And here's where I've always maintained that I wish he'd just use his laptop. Because I've been to Hampstead Heath. And while it's not exactly the old Bois de Boulogne, being in there at night would be some scary sh-t. Here in Vancouver in our endowment lands, a lady was murdered in broad daylight running on the trails. And we have nowhere near the population of London. Can you imagine walking around with your dick in your hand in the darkness?
I don't understand what he has against a chat room. But George prefers the old school:
"The handful of times a year it's bloody warm enough, I'll do it. I'll do it on a nice summer evening. Quite often there are campfires up there. It's a much nicer place to get some quick and honest sex than standing in a bar, E'd off your tits shouting at somebody and hoping they want the same thing as you do in bed. DyaknowhatImean?"
Hooker, I know what you mean. But this is what the internet is for. Maybe it's an age thing. George likes his men mature. Like his age or older. And perhaps that generation isn't accustomed to finding it electronically.
My favourite part of the article is the celebrity gossip. Like celebrities actually gossiping. Bono said something about George to Elton John who passed it on to Geri Halliwell and she told Kenny who then carelessly whispered it to George who's now slagging Elton and yapping about it to a journalist. GOLD.

Smithsonian chief to retire in 2014 after 6 years
WASHINGTON (AP) — The head of the Smithsonian Institution says he will retire next year from leading the world's largest museum and research complex.
Smithsonian Secretary Wayne Clough said Wednesday that he will retire in October 2014, after more than six years in the post. Clough came to the Smithsonian in 2008 after serving as president of the Georgia Institute of Technology for 14 years.
Clough says he wanted to announce his plans now so that an orderly transition can begin. On Sept. 11, Clough notified Chief Justice John Roberts, the chancellor of the Smithsonian, of his intentions.
The Smithsonian Board of Regents will form a committee to conduct an international search for a new secretary. Regent John McCarter Jr., the former president of the Field Museum in Chicago, will chair the committee.

I am preparing for LSAT. I am also considering PT Law schools. I am currently working as a Project Engineer. It is hard for me to quit my job and go to school full time. I am having a hard time evaluating the advantages of going to Law school PT. Although, I have earned a Masters Degree going to School PT, it was till a nightmare. I have a 3.83 GPA and 165+ LSAT (prep tests), should I quit my job and try for top-tier law schools full-time or keep my job - study PT at a low rank school?
If you want to hang a shingle and do wills and divorces, part-time is fine. If you want to clerk for Scalia or make the big law monies, don't do part-time. Put these two extremes on a sliding scale and see where you land.
I'd guess that you are probably a lot better off as an engineer with a masters and some experience than a new lawyer Legal market sucks and law school is expensive no matter how you go about it. Quote from: Joey Porsche on June 29, 2010, 09:01:05 PMIf you want to hang a shingle and do wills and divorces, part-time is fine. If you want to clerk for Scalia or make the big law monies, don't do part-time. Put these two extremes on a sliding scale and see where you land.Not really true - I know more than a few part time graduates working big law and even clerking (none for scotus, but they wouldn't have been clerking on scotus even if they were nonpt by the odds). Georgetown, GW and the like have PT programs that seem to be just as good as the full time programs. Like full time, school rank, grades etc all make a huge difference. If you are comparing GULC part time to HYS full time, then yeah, you are better off (career wise) doing HYS full time, but GULC part time to GULC full time probably makes no difference. As for lifestyle, PT seems to work for people who either have no kids or social life or are amazingly productive and require little sleep.
I'm a part-timer, just finished 1L. I go to a lower ranked (between 50-100) at night, after work. I was forutnate enough to drop my hours from 40 to 32, just so I could have some sleep and sanity time. Going part time does not save you tons of time, you only take one less class per semester (Con law and Criminal law for me). My 1st semester was Intro to Law for 2 wks, then the remainder of the semsester Contracts, Torts & Legal Writing (11 credits). 2nd semester Contracts II, Property, Civ Pro & Legal Writing II (12 credits). It is not easy and you will have little time left for family and friends. I had class until 10:30 at night 2 nights 1st semester and 3 nights a week 2nd semester (and sometimes four to make up snow days!!!!!!!!!) You also miss out on things like clinics, unless you can find a way to get time off during the week. The advantage is I was able to work and still be able to pay my mortgage while attending school. If I could afford to go full time without working, I definitely would.On the plus side going PT forces you to be organized (as you already know from going PT in the past) and you will probably do very well. My class has many students who do not work in the evening program (though many are planning to transfer to FT this semester). I've heard that many schools will admit students who could not make it into the FT program into the PT one because PT didn't count towards the US News Rankings, but I don't think this is true anymore (I'm sure others on this board will know). Good luck whatever you decide to do!

A refreshing alternative to bloatwareWednesday, April 11th, 2012
These days, software seems to be headed in just one direction: bloatware. Think of the typical "enterprise" solutions which run in Java or .NET (interpreted, sandboxed runtime), running on top of a UI framework, object framework, session state management framework, app server, web server, DB server, object broker and more.
If all this sounds like a bloated architecture — it is. I've seen many applications (including from our competitors, who I won't name here) with multi-gigabyte installations of barely functional software, that yield performance on the order of minutes-per-HTML-form. Just brutal.
At one point, I figured the reason Sun was so hot on selling Java, was that Java/J2EE performance was so brutally awful, that it forced customers to buy more hardware. This was pre-Oracle acquisition, though I've no reason to imagine this has changed with Oracle buying Sun. There is likely some truth in that. .NET was really just Microsoft saying "Me Too!" and I've noticed that .NET somewhat less awful than Java, but still – as an end user, I hate dealing with Java and .NET apps, since they inevitably make me wait. And wait. And wait some more.
So here we are in the age of bloatware. Software platforms and architectures designed to keep unskilled safe against their own mistakes and to protect lazy developers against actual work.
Not a cheerful state of the industry.
But then – once in a while – I see something like this:
- Demoscene: 64k Intros At Revision Demoparty
- Gaia Machina by Approximate
- F – Felix's Workshop by Ctrl-Alt-Test
You should definitely follow the links and watch the videos. These are self-running 3-d ray-traced animations. They run for several minutes, with music. The amazing thing is that each of these is a single, self-contained, 64-kilobyte Windows executable.
Think about that for a minute. Several minutes of complex, 3-D, ray-traced animation, with music. Running in real-time on your commodity PC. In 64 kilobytes of code.
Compare that 64-kilobytes of pure computer science goodness to the crapware you get from ERP vendors in their .NET and Java padded cages. With hundreds of megabytes or gigabytes of code, that accomplish close to nothing. With brutal performance profiles.
This stuff is pure gold. It shows that there is still some real software development talent in this world.

Sarah Baskerville, wife of District Court Judge Randolph Baskerville and mother of state Rep. Nathan Baskerville, says quilting was a retirement idea, a return to her mother's hobby.
HENDERSON, N.C. (AP) — She is one of Miss Lou's quilting "dozen" on Thursdays, a Pinkston Elementary School volunteer on Wednesdays, and Sundays takes her to Cornerstone Christian Community Church, but she is matriarch to the prominent Baskerville family every day.
Sarah Baskerville, wife of District Court Judge Randolph Baskerville and mother of state Rep. Nathan Baskerville, says quilting was a retirement idea, a return to her mother's hobby. Now it has become a passion for her, too.
She retired 10 years ago from a 30-year career in education, the last 15 as a counselor at Southern Vance High School. To Sarah, volunteering and seeing how much of her quilting group's work goes to charitable causes has yielded opportunities to touch hundreds of lives outside her family circle.
All told, she stays pleasantly occupied, "volunteering where I can, working in the church," she said, "and I am pretty involved in my sorority. The quilting is addictive. I'm a quilter, and that is my passion. I love to do that."
On Thursdays, Baskerville joins her fellow quilters of "Miss Lou's Dozen" that has grown now to more than 12, and they take on each other's projects in the classical form of a quilting bee gathering.
The group makes quilts for their children and other family members: cousins, nieces and nephews and on and on, plus plenty more for charity. Baskerville estimates that the group has provided a couple hundred quilts over the years to area nursing homes.
They also make other charity items: about 50 stockings for area children's homes this past Christmas. They have not decided on what to make yet, but their concentration for Christmas 2013 is the men's shelter in Henderson.
"This year, we'll be doing a project for them," Baskerville said. "It might be quilts, or maybe knit hats, something. Every year we do a project for charity."
She added the group will get started with the men's shelter project pretty soon, because it is done through the year with a presentation planned for Christmastime.
In taking turns with each other's quilting projects, the group moves through the year to another goal: a quilt show, with an invitation to the public to vote on a winning quilt for the year.
Quilting was a part of her Hoke County childhood as the youngest of eight children in a farming family, and she remembers her mother's quilting as a break from the regular routines of outdoor work.
"We were farmers, just regular farmers," she said, "from cotton to cucumbers, we would do farming."
"My mom used to do it," she added. "They used to go house to house as a quilting group and make each other's quilts. I used to sneak under the quilt while they were working, and I would listen to them talk."
A conversation around the quilting bee while working on their art is another attraction of the hobby. The members of the group could talk about almost anything as the quilt takes shape.
On some rare occasions they may even discuss the men in their lives.
"They are both very well-grounded men," Baskerville said of her husband and her son. "My husband came from a well-grounded family that believed in hard work and doing for yourself, and he instilled that in Nathan, too."
She has a daughter who is married: Latoyia Baskerville Smith lives in Georgia, and she hopes first granddaughter, Elyse, is the first of several grandchildren.
The mother said she doesn't pressure her son on his bachelor eligibility.
"I think it will work out," she said. "I think there is a person for everyone, and he will find that person."
The whole family, and a constellation of friends, rallied to the Nathan Baskerville campaign when he decided to run for the House of Representatives. One issue that the family had to work with was the fact that as a judge, Randolph could not be openly endorsing a candidate.
"Nathan talked with all of us about running," she said. "His uncle, Leslie, has been there at every step, a constant adviser and one of Nathan's greatest supporters. Everyone who could work on phone calls, putting up posters."
Dad was never gone from the picture, but he kept in the background because of his role as a judge.
"Nathan is still his son, and he was very supportive of his decision to run," Sarah said.
She said that conversations in the Baskerville home might include political issues, but her men know her well already and as a family they closely share the same values after all.
"I basically try to be myself, and they know me and know my stand," Baskerville said. "I let them know how I feel about things."
A wider conversation emanating from the younger generation of her clan, however, has come from some younger nephews asking, well, what about their quilts.
"I have made quilts for my sisters and my sisters' daughters, made with their personalities and interests in mind," Baskerville said. "Now nephews are wanting them because they're jealous of their sisters."
It's not easy making quilts for men, though, "because they're complicated, and you can't go with the usual flowery designs. You have to find more masculine themes."
She's busy finding just the right fabrics to help define the lives of the men she loves.

Recently, I've noticed that there is more onus on Twitter users to deliver "value" than users on other social networks. This could be attributed to the fact that Twitter started off as the playground (and still has some remnants) of the early adopter crowd. Other social networks like Facebook don't have the same history (or baggage) and the closed nature of these sites probably promotes more non-judgmental sharing because of the perception that "you're among friends". Originally, the most frequently cited argument against Twitter was that it's for folks who want to "tweet about what they had for lunch" although, the same type of sharing was and is still perfectly acceptable on Facebook.
Twitter has evolved since its early days and so has the criticism. Now the popular opinion is that it's become a propaganda channel for media, celebrities, and social media "experts", which isn't surprising when you consider that the Top 100 Twitter Users are mainly from the first two groups. According to Mashable, there's also been a surge in the social media "experts" population on Twitter over the last year and they counted over 15,000 social media "experts" on Twitter, increase of 250% in appx. 7 months.
I have to confess that I am in biased in favor of Twitter, mainly because I've been fortunate enough to meet some very amazing and talented folks who are now part of my professional network. However, I also have to admit that the micro-blogging site is rife with self-professed gurus who are extremely opinionated and not afraid to vocalize their thoughts.
Here's an example from my recent experience: I had started sending FourSquare updates to my Twitter stream, when out of the blue, one of the "experts" contacted me and asked me stop the updates as they "added no value". Needless to say, I was baffled as I hadn't realized that some folks think that the purpose of my tweets is to provide them with some "value". What I also found most perplexing is this – if you wouldn't go up to someone in the offline world and say, "Can you please stop talking about your cat because it's annoying?!", then why do some folks think it's acceptable to do that on Twitter?
Nielsen reported its findings last year on Twitter's high churn rate where they said,
"about 60 percent of people on Twitter end up abandoning the service after a month."
This news wasn't received very well by the vocal users but regardless how you slice the data, the reality is that Twitter is intimidating for new users. I've heard many (geeks, nerds, tech entrepreneurs included) confess that they just don't get it. I've been on Twitter for a while, so unsolicited feedback doesn't bother me but one can't help but wonder how damaging this self-righteous attitude can be for new users. The site is daunting enough for them, without having to worry about some "expert" policing and critiquing their every tweet.

Indictments sought for Ahmadinejad, Iran
Judge hearing evidence of regime's human rights violations
WASHINGTON – An attorney presenting evidence about the gross human rights violations perpetrated by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his Islamic regime says it would be good to come out of the case with a precedent to indict the Muslim leader.
Attorney Larry Klayman, the founder of Judicial Watch and now with Freedom Watch and a WND contributor said in an interview that it is time to "bring restitution" to those who have suffered under the Iranian regime.
The case against the president of the rogue ruling elite in Iran, and the nation itself, was brought by Klayman on behalf of members of the Mohammadi family, including Manouchehr, Reza, Simin and Nasarin, whose brother, Akbar, died.
The defendants already are in default, because they failed to respond to the court action, but Klayman explained that the case needs to be presented to set damages. Hearings on that issue started Thursday.
The complaint charges Ahmadinejad, the nation's supreme leader, the Revolutionary Guard, and the Islamic Republic of Iran as a whole brutally tortured and murdered Akbar Mohammadi.
He was the first student leader to call for "regime change" in Iran as part of the so-called Green Revolution, Klayman said.
Klayman said the case will reveal the truth about those who run Iran by the dictates of Islamic law, or Shariah.
He said the case is much like the Nuremberg trials following World War II, and is revealing "in graphic detail the inhuman brutality of this Nazi-like Iranian regime, that not only tortures and murders its own people, but has threatened to wipe Israel and all Jews off the face of the earth."
Klayman is presenting evidence and testimony through his clients that Ahmadinejad, the supreme leader, the Revolutionary Guard, and the Islamic Republic of Iran have engaged in brutal torture and murder of democratic activists.
"It is a bigger question of human rights," Klayman said.
Both Akbar, a "high ranking member of the Green Revolution" in Iran, and Manouchehr were arrested and jailed and tortured in Iran, according to the complaint. Akbar was then murdered by the Iranian state in prison on June 31, 2006. Manouchehr was still held and tortured and eventually escaped to the United States.
Nasarin Mohammadi told WND that she is "proud of her brother for his sacrifice" and said "he lost his life for his country, freedom and human rights." Additionally she says that though he was a part of a "revolution" he was a man of peace, being "very charitable and sought social change not just through political reform, but also through his personal actions."
Because of Akbar's actions and Nasarin's commitment to stand by her brother's fervent belief in freedom, she is banned from Iran.
She has not seen her parents in two years since they visited her in America and since their return to Iran, they have had their passports seized and the regime monitors their house 24/7 with wiretaps and bugs.
Though Nasarin attempted to escape to the West for protection from repercussions from the regime, she could never fully escape the regime's reach. She reports that in 2004 while living in Berlin and meeting with members of various European parliaments, she was poisoned by an Iranian assassin and only lived "by the grace of God."
She left fled to America, but regime sympathizers in her community in Los Angeles reportedly tried to kidnap her to return her to Iran, she said.
During court testimony, it also was revealed that Iranian sympathizers then tried to discredit her, by photoshopping her image into pornography and posting it online.
Klayman described that the "big story" in the dispute is the "level of Iranian covert operations in the United States."
He told the court, with corroborating testimony from witnesses, that the Iranian regime has agents and front offices in various Iranian-American communities as a means to coerce and harass Iranians living in America who would dare try and speak out against the revolutionary government.
Klayman said he is "deeply concerned about U.S. government's lack of concern" with the Iranian infiltration and the gross human rights violations in both Iran and on American soil.
He blames not just the Obama administration, but other Republicans and Democrats, too, for "having turned a blind eye," saying "it is both parties' faults, especially with Obama though, for he has a special affection for Iran."
Kenneth R. Timmerman, president and CEO of the Foundation for Democracy in Iran, testified in support of the Mohammadi family, saying that Iran uses these assets and operatives in the United States "to keep track" of Iranian dissidents, especially in areas where large Iranian populations exist, such as Westwood, Los Angeles.
Former CIA director Robert James Woolsey Jr. also confirmed in testimony that Iran not only "conducts surveillance" of Iranian-Americans, but also has attempted on several occasions to kill American citizens and foreign dignitaries, most notably Saudi Ambassador Adel al-Jubeir in a Washington, D.C., café in 2011.
"President Obama and his administration, rather than supporting freedom fighters like the Mohammadis and working for regime change (which would also eliminate Iran's nuclear threat), have turned a blind eye to these crimes against humanity and instead, like Neville Chamberlain with Hitler, have sought to appease the Islamic Republic of Iran. Now, justice will finally be done in an American courtroom," Klayman previously told WND.
WND reported earlier when Judge Beryl Howell scheduled the trial in the billion-dollar dispute on behalf of the Mohammadi family.
The case seeks damages of $10 billion.
Howell's earlier ruling said Ahmadinejad, Ayatollah Sayid Ali Hoseyni Khamenei, the Army of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution and the Islamic Republic of Iran were in default.
Dig into the secrets of Washington in "WHORES: Why and How I Came to Fight the Establishment"
The case is a class action claim on behalf of victims of the regime.
Klayman said Iran is a "major threat" to the world peace, and it needs to be put in its place.
"In so doing, not only will the Persian people be freed from bondage and terror, but the nuclear threat will have been largely eliminated, and Israel and the West protected from the horrors of this regime," he said.
The case was brought under the Alien Tort Claims Act and the Torture Victim Protection Act of 1991.

Asymmetric Draped Tunic is rated out of 5 by 1.
Rated 4 out of 5 by babstampa from love it but it should be lined I love this shirt, but the material is very thin because it is silk, and the whole point of a backless shirt is to wear without a bra to leave the back open, and this shirt leaves nothing to the imagination because of how thin the material is. This would be perfect if the front was lined. I have the same shirt in the black and white strip, which is not silk and a heavier fabric, and that one wears much better. It is still a great design and color though

Games include gritty sci-fi environments, Japanese clans.
When I recently wrote about my Favoritest Games of 2012, there were a few titles that got left out, and so I'm here to make amends to the video game gods. Also, I am lazy and needed a quick column idea.
"Total War: Shogun 2 — Fall of the Samurai" (PC; rated Teen) — If you had asked me a few weeks ago to name my favorite strategy title of 2012, I would have easily said "XCOM: Enemy Unknown." That was perhaps a mistake.
I downloaded "Fall of the Samurai" during Steam's holiday sale and it is shockingly good. It's the kind of game that consumes your thoughts long after your PC has been shut down for the night, with visions of thousands of little Japanese soldiers obliterating each other on gorgeously detailed battlefields.
Released in March as stand-alone expansion to last year's phenomenal "Shogun 2," "Fall of the Samurai" begins in mid-1860s Japan. It's an uneasy period of modernization when Japan's many clans are divided in civil war supporting either the Imperial Court or Tokugawa Shogunate.
Whereas "Shogun 2" was set in 16th-century feudal Japan, the more modern setting of "Fall of the Samurai" allowed for the widespread use of firearms and cannons in battle. And that made for some really spectacular fights, with muzzles flashing and smoke rising from vast lines of infantry trading fire, and cannonballs leaving huge gouge marks on the terrain.
After many previous struggles, this was the year I revisited and finally grasped the "Total War" series, starting with 2009's "Empire" and then moving on to "Shogun 2" and "Fall of the Samurai." The latest game is the series was possibly my favorite.
"Dishonored" (360, PS3, PC; rated Mature) — I couldn't manage to find time for "Dishonored" until late in the year, and still haven't completed it, but the game has deservedly received a lot of praise. Casting you as a royal bodyguard framed for murder, "Dishonored" had all of the right ingredients: spacious levels that invited exploration and offered multiple solutions to objectives, imaginative and colorful settings, and a satisfying sense of progress as you improved your weapons and abilities.
"Borderlands 2" (360, PS3, PC; rated Mature) and "Torchlight II" (PC) — Two really delightful titles that have mastered the best part of role-playing games: acquiring new gear and shiny loot! I loved the gritty sci-fi environments of "Borderlands 2" and "Torchlight II" is one of the most polished dungeon crawlers on the market. Priced at $20 and with low PC system requirements, anyone who likes "Diablo"-style games should own a copy of "Torchlight II."

When Tristin Budzyn-Barker found a lost wallet at a restaurant he was dining at with his mother, he knew he needed to find its owner.
The 17-year-old from Poplar Grove, Illinois had stopped at a restaurant just outside of Los Angeles International Airport when he found the wallet. Shortly after, he discovered it was no ordinary lost item – it belonged to actor Chris Hemsworth.
"I looked up at my and mom and I said, 'Mom do you know who this is?' We found Thor's wallet," the teen told Ellen DeGeneres this week.
That's when the young Boy Scout, looking to become an Eagle Scout, wrote a heartfelt letter to the famed actor and sent the wallet, money and all, in the mail.
"So he sent the wallet to me and then it says at the end, 'P.S. Mom says you are on Ellen this week and asked if we could have some tickets," Hemsworth said.
And sure enough, the young teen and his family were invited to the show, where they were in for an even bigger surprise.
Hemsworth gifted Budzyn-Barker with all the money that was in the wallet at the time he lost it along with a letter to help him become an Eagle Scout.
"I expected it was going to be empty," Hemsworth said. "And all the cash was in there so I wanted to give you the cash as a little gift."
On top of that, Ellen gave Budzyn-Barker his own wallet along with $10,000 from Shutterfly to help him pay for college.

***1/2 (out of four)
While many of its contemporaries in '80s new wave nostalgia drowned their music and accompanying emotions in electronic filters, Twin Shadow's 2010 debut "Forget" embraced the era's tradition of moody music on its own terms. George Lewis Jr., Twin Shadow's creative force, delivered sharp production and musicianship that recalled actual period bands rather than merely leaning on the '80s shorthand of Human League-style synth effects.
For a breakup album, however, "Forget" could have the effect of leaving its listeners more impressed than moved. Twin Shadow's sophomore album "Confess," despite lyrics that focus on a less inspiring brand of petty emotions associated with some undefined modern relationships, is stirring, sing-along, fist-pump stuff end-to-end. This record again looks to the '80s for a blueprint, embracing not just the sound but also the spirit of an era when rock music was chart-topping pop material. That's reiterated in the album cover, which shows Lewis posed alone in a leather jacket--a sort of bad boy pop star image that seems oddly anachronistic at a time when rock has become so generally self-effacing. Indie rock bands don't brand themselves this way; Bruce Springsteen does. And that's the point: While the music on "Confess" still draws heavily from bands like The Psychedelic Furs, it's really reaching for the territory of arena-friendly artists like U2 and Bruce Springsteen.
In another era, songs like "Five Seconds" or "Beg For The Night," with its killer guitar coda, could have been the kind of massive, unifying anthems that totally crush at karaoke. Other highlights like the defiant "Run My Heart" and the perfectly tense "Be Mine Tonight" should be soundtracking movies.
Instead, they'll probably suffer the misfortune of soundtracking vintage T-shirt purchases alongside less accomplished but equally "retro" indie contemporaries.

PALM BAY, Florida (AP) – Police in Florida say a man bit off his girlfriend's left thumb during a fight while he was driving her to work.
Florida Today reports that hospital officials called police after the woman arrived for treatment Wednesday.
Palm Bay police spokeswoman Yvonne Martinez says 35-year-old Ricardo Marquis Davis confessed to biting off the thumb and spitting it onto the floorboard.
He told police they had gotten into an argument and she had pushed his head while they were driving.
Martinez says doctors were not able to reattach the woman's thumb. She says police victim advocates are working to help her.
Davis is being held in the Brevard County Jail on aggravated battery charges.

Crystal Swann Blackdeer is the secretary of the Child Abuse Prevention Council.
Crystal Swann Blackdeer is the secretary of the Child Abuse Prevention Council.
1. Can you tell us about the Leavenworth County Child Abuse Prevention Council?
Formed in 1995, the Leavenworth County Child Abuse Prevention Council is a coalition of agencies and individuals working together to prevent and address child abuse and neglect in our area through education and training, interagency collaboration and financial support to qualified efforts of member organizations.
2. The council provides free training for mandated reporters of abuse including persons licensed in the "healing arts," therapists, teachers/administrators/other school employees, KDHE child care licensees, law enforcement, EMS and firefighters, plus juvenile corrections personnel, court appointed case managers and mediators. How does the training help the reporters better identify and report on abuse?
People who work with children or frequently see "at-risk" children in their work are confronted with a wide variety of circumstances.
Sometimes it's hard to decide if what they are seeing is really abuse or neglect.
They don't want to over-report, but mandated reporters are obligated by law, and can be held liable if they fail to report what turns out to be abuse/neglect.
This training exposes people to indicators of abuse, how to report it, and what a mandated reporter's obligations are under the law.
Anyone can make a report, even anonymously, and the Department for Children and families will decide if there's a "child in need of care."
3. Many people who work with children are not mandated reporters. How can they best ensure that the kids they are exposed to feel safe to report anything that they might feel is making them uncomfortable?
Children should always feel they can talk with trusted adults about situations they're experiencing, particularly those that make them uncomfortable.
Children should be allowed to talk, and that responsible adult should REPORT if they believe a child may be abused/neglected.
Interviews for detail should only be conducted by those who have that mission and who are trained in soliciting accurate information from children.
This minimizes the trauma to the child and is most likely to spur appropriate action by service providers and, if appropriate, law enforcement/prosecution.
4. The council's free training sessions are designed to help anyone in Leavenworth County to learn to recognize signs of abuse and neglect. What are some of the most important training tools that enable the general public to become more sensitized to the often silent cries of vulnerable children?
Mandated reporters have a very important role, but many who are not mandated are often in circumstances that allow them to see things that, if reported, could save a child's life.
Animal control officers, coaches, Scout leaders, church volunteers, veterinarians and many others are not mandated reporters, but they very often see children who may need help.
Even if they don't specifically see that the children are in need of care, they may see evidence of spousal abuse, or elder abuse, or animal abuse/neglect.
The fact is that in an environment that hurts, no one is safe.
All of us owe it to children (and others who cannot independently care for themselves) to provide them safe, healthy, nurturing environments.
Better for a thousand reports to be "unfounded" or "not assigned" than for ONE situation that should have been investigated to have gone unreported.
Reporting is easy -- it can be done anonymously, by phone, by email or online.
Whenever someone is in immediate danger, the best thing to do is dial 911.
5. What would the Leavenworth County Child Abuse Prevention Council most like to change about how child abuse is dealt with in the county?
Being aware of risk factors, indicators of abuse/neglect, and how to report suspected abuse/neglect are all vitally important, but as a society and a community, we have already failed if any child is being harmed.
The key is prevention. We need to create and maintain communities where we all protect children from those who may harm them.
We need to make sure that families make the connection to education and resources that help them provide the secure, nurturing, safe environment that every child deserves.

Lester scratched from tonight's start as rumors swirl
BOSTON -- If Jon Lester does get dealt by the Red Sox before Thursday's 4 p.m. ET non-waiver Trade Deadline, he won't get to make a dramatic final start at Fenway Park.
Following Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Blue Jays, Boston manager John Farrell announced that Lester was scratched from tonight's start in the finale, and Brandon Workman will be recalled from Triple-A Pawtucket to pitch.View Full Game Coverage
BOSTON -- If Jon Lester does get dealt by the Red Sox before Thursday's 4 p.m. ET non-waiver Trade Deadline, he won't get to make a dramatic final start at Fenway Park.
Following Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Blue Jays, Boston manager John Farrell announced that Lester was scratched from tonight's start in the finale, and Brandon Workman will be recalled from Triple-A Pawtucket to pitch.View Full Game Coverage
The Red Sox had no trade to announce, but there's a very real possibility Lester could be in his final hours with the only professional organization for which he's ever pitched.
"Yeah, Brandon Workman will start [tonight]," said Farrell. "In light of all the uncertainty surrounding Jon Lester, it's probably in everyone's best interests that he does not make that start, so Brandon will be recalled. There will be a corresponding move roster-wise at some point [today]."
Prior to Tuesday's game, Farrell had said Lester was still on track to pitch, though Workman was already lined up as a contingency.
By scratching Lester from his start, the Red Sox could increase the urgency of their suitors to sweeten their offer in advance of Thursday's Deadline.
Also, Lester becomes more attractive to a potential suitor if he can pitch immediately after a trade, rather than having to wait until Monday.
Numerous teams have talked to the Red Sox about Lester, and there was a lot of buzz about the Pirates on Tuesday. The Dodgers are another possible destination, though they've thus far been unwilling to part with the type of top prospects (Corey Seager, Joc Pederson) the Red Sox seek. The Marlins have also expressed interest, according to Jim Bowden of MLB Network radio.
Even American League East foes such as the Orioles and Blue Jays surfaced at one point, but both teams appeared to be out of the running as of Tuesday evening.
While Red Sox veterans were still hoping the lefty would stay, they were bracing for the possibility of his exit.
"Yeah, it's tough," said Dustin Pedroia, who came up with Lester through the farm system and has won a pair of World Series titles with him. "We're not teammates -- we're family. It's something you don't like going through. It makes you feel worse. We don't want to be in this position. I know a lot of guys feel that if you play up to your capability ... we should be adding instead of subtracting. Hopefully he's here."
"Lester is like a brother to me, you know what I'm saying?" David Ortiz said. "Pedey was right. We've been together for a long period of time, and it comes to the fact that all these trades and rumors are going around, it can get a little complicated. We'll see."
Even though Lester is in the final year of his contract, it would have seemed inconceivable even a month or two ago that he could be traded. But the 48-59 Red Sox have faded fast and are 12 games back in the AL East.
At the very least, the club figures it is best off trying to trade Lester now for a top prospect, and perhaps rekindling talks with him as a free agent in the offseason.
Lester said multiple times in recent days that he would still try to re-sign with Boston if the club traded him.
"It's surprising, but with this game, you never know. You never know what's next. We'll see," said Ortiz.
It was just last October that Lester's dominance played a large role in the Red Sox winning their third World Series in the span of a decade.
"Yeah, if we have a big game to play, we want him pitching it," Pedroia said. "I've seen him every start. It would be tough to see him in another uniform. I hope in a couple of days he's here, because it means a lot to me and everyone else and what he's done here. I'm hoping we open the door and he's in there."

Keep the wastewater away from our coastal backyard. That's the sentiment of many local elected leaders.
If the Piedmont region is opened up to fracking, keep the wastewater away from our coastal backyard. That's the sentiment of many local elected leaders as the state Republican leadership appears eager to open its arms to hydraulic fracturing as a home-grown source of natural gas.
"My gut response: No, no-no-no-no-no," said Oak Island Mayor Betty Wallace.
Injection of wastewater into deep wells is one way to dispose of the chemically laced byproduct produced by fracking, which releases gas by blasting a complex mixture of water, chemicals and sand into shale rock formations. There are other options for wastewater, including industry reuse and recycling, such as for agriculture purposes after a thorough scrubbing.
But the idea that officials are even studying the possibility of deep well injection sites for wastewater – currently banned under state law – doesn't sit well with many local officials.
Recently voiced concerns among coastal lawmakers have prompted a key member of the Republican House leadership to tap the brakes on Senate Bill 76 as it begins its process in the House. The bill, which calls for the issuing of permits for fracking in March 2015, quickly sailed through the Senate late last month.
Rep. Mike Hager, the Republican majority whip from Rutherford, is calling on coastal lawmakers to take a prominent role in the debate, particularly when it comes to the potential disposal of fracking wastewater in the Coastal Plain.
"We want the representatives that have the most at risk to have the most say in the process," he said.
If the state's geography can safely sustain deep well injection sites – and that's a big if – the Coastal Plain is likely the only place with land porous enough to support them. But whether these wells would be safe anywhere, including on the coast, is a topic under study by the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
The issue of wastewater potentially being trucked to the coast was raised recently during a meeting of the southeast Brunswick mayors, which includes the communities of Bald Head Island, Caswell Beach, Oak Island, Southport, St. James and Boiling Spring Lakes.
"We all couldn't be more opposed to it," Wallace said of the local mayors. "If there are areas in the Piedmont they want to begin fracking, I don't have an opinion on that, but I do know that if you create waste during the manufacture of anything you should contain that waste. You should not ship it to another area just because it would be easier."
Even while supporting the concept of alternative natural gas exploration, several members of the local General Assembly delegation also say they plan to take a cautious approach to the legislation before them that, in addition to setting hard dates for permitting, also lifts a statewide ban on deep well injection.
"It's definitely not something that I'm going to take lightly," said Rep. Ted Davis Jr., R-New Hanover. "It's out there that this particular harm could be done, so it's got my interest and concern."
Sen. Thom Goolsby, R-New Hanover, voted in favor of the Senate bill because, he said, it calls on legislators to review regulations put forth by the N.C. Mining and Energy Commission before fracking begins. But he said he's still "very concerned" about contamination of the coast's groundwater and not completely sold on the deal.
"I've said from the beginning that as we look at fracking we have to take our time and make sure that all safeguards are set up before I'm going to be in support of any of these new energy sources," he said.
Rep. Susi Hamilton, D-New Hanover, called Senate Bill 76 a "worst case scenario" bill. Hamilton took a lot of heat for her vote last year to approve a measure that allowed the N.C. Mining and Energy Commission to begin writing regulations for the industry. But hindsight, she said, proves that was a good vote.
"Thank goodness we had a committee already established in 2012," she said. "Had we not had a committee … my fear is SB76 that just passed through the Senate would be what we are living with."
Hager said the Senate bill may not get a hearing in a House committee for several more weeks, allowing more research time on the topic of wastewater disposal. He also mentioned the possibility of removing the section of the bill lifting the ban on deep injection wells and forming a study committee on that issue alone.
Hager specifically mentioned Rep. Rick Catlin, R-New Hanover, as a member he wants to call to the table. Catlin, a geologist and environmental engineer, may have opened the eyes of many on the coast with his recent comments that the Eastern Seaboard is the only suitable place for deep injection wells. Prior to his comments hitting news pages, the fracking debate had largely been focused in central North Carolina, where the shale rock formations are abundant.
"I want to know a lot more about it," said Wilmington Mayor Bill Saffo. "I'd have to see what's in this water. Why can't they put it in the areas they're taking it from? There're a lot of questions that need to be asked about this whole process.
"Our quality of life is one of our greatest assets in this part of the state, and we just don't want to ruin that."
But not all local officials are sounding alarm bells.
Rep. Frank Iler, R-Brunswick, said he supports green-lighting fracking and believes talk of wastewater getting shipped to coastal communities is a red herring pushed by opponents.
"I call it a scare tactic," he said. "People against it will use anything to scare anybody."
Asked if he thought the statements made by his House colleague, Catlin, were also a scare tactic, Iler said: "I'm certainly not going to take on an engineer who knows more than I do, but there're other engineers with other opinions out there."
