George Mason in the News
Posted: September 1, 2006 at 1:00 am, Last Updated: November 30, -0001 at 12:00 am
Following are highlights of national news coverage George Mason recently received.
Tuesday, Aug. 22, Denver Post
Everything I Need to Know I Learned from My TV
"The latest such poll from America Online and pop culture egghead Robert Thompson simply hammers home a point made by dozens of other surveys: 73 percent of adults can name all of the Three Stooges, but fewer than half can name the three branches of U.S. government? No surprises there. 'The issue is not so much whether Americans remember the names of Supreme Court justices, rather whether they understand how the court works,' said Roy Rosenzweig, a history professor and director of the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University. 'Memorization is even less important in the age of the Internet and Google than it once was,' said Rosenzweig. The best teachers are focusing on showing students how to analyze and synthesize evidence critically, he said, as professional historians do."

Digital Revolution Puts Fans Closer to Game
"'Everything is changing so rapidly that you think you know what's next, and three months later it changes on you,' said Steve Klein, coordinator of the Electronic Journalism Program at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va. and a former online sports editor for USA Today. 'It all comes down to convenience for the listener or viewer. [Media organizations] that remember that are going to be ahead of the curve.'"
Sat., Aug. 26, Boston Globe
100,000 Flee Ethiopia Strife
"An outbreak of clan violence this summer in southern Ethiopia has forced nearly 100,000 people to flee their villages, according to representatives from the humanitarian group Oxfam America and a Harvard cooperative who traveled to the region. Terrence Lyons, a professor at the Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution at George Mason University, said low-level violence has persisted in the Horn of Africa region. In Somalia, radical Islamic forces control vast swaths of the country and consider themselves the legitimate authority. But the dramatic increase in violence in early summer results from the 'fragile economic-ecological zone,' he said."

Mid-major Recruiting Still Tough
"Jim Larranaga still talks about George Mason's incredible Final Four run everywhere he goes — at fundraisers and camps, around coaches and especially when he's recruiting. If last year's success has done anything, it has given Larranaga more credibility when he walks into a home. Prep players now are more willing to take calls and make unofficial visits, and no longer confuse the northern Virginia school with neighbors such as George Washington and James Madison."
Monday, Aug. 28, Associated Press
GOP Gaffes Hurt Minority Outreach
"One Republican senator described his house painter as a 'little Guatemalan man.' Another called an Indian man a 'macaca,' a type of monkey. Just as the GOP is pushing for minority voters, the two recent gaffes have fed the perception among some blacks, Hispanics and Asian-Americans that Republicans are out of touch with the changing face of the nation. 'There is disconnect at some level,' said Michael K. Fauntroy, a professor of public policy at George Mason University. 'The country is becoming browner, and new voters, particularly new immigrant voters, don't respond favorably to (offensive) comments. They may have already missed the boat on this.'"
Tuesday, Aug. 29, NBC4 (WRC)
Allen Losing Political Fire in Senate Race
"More political fallout from a controversial remark made earlier this month by incumbent Sen. George Allen. Allen is now running neck-and-neck with Democratic challenger Jim Webb, according to a new Zogby poll by the Wall Street Journal. The negative fallout has severely decreased Allen's double-digit lead and propelled challenger Jim Webb from long shot to contender. 'This has taken a lot of shine off the armor of George Allen, and it has shown a side of him that perhaps a lot of people didn't know before,' said George Mason University political analyst Mark Rozell."

Nantes striker Filip Djordjevic is attracting big Premier League interest.
The centre-forward's robust style is well suited to the hurly-burly of English football and French sources say Everton, Liverpool and West Ham United are all watching him this season.
The Serbia international, 26, comes off contract at Nantes in June and is likely to be put up for sale in January.
Everton boss Roberto Martinez is understood to have already made contact with Nantes to ask to be kept up to speed about Djordjevic's situation.

Related: How To Plant Carrots
Larvae tunnel through stems and roots of carrot family plants, stunting or killing plants. Infested carrot roots and celery stalks may be unfit to harvest.
Overwintering adults emerge from grass or garden litter in mid- to late spring, lay eggs on plant stems; larvae bore into stems and downward into roots, then pupate in soil by late spring, early summer. Second-generation adults emerge in midsummer.
Weevils do not fly, so plant susceptible crops in uninfested areas and for additional protection, cover the seedbeds with floating row cover. Drench infested soil with parasitic nematodes.

Spreckels Park Little League stood with the tying runs on second and third and the winning run in the box, but the major division All-Star team would come no closer, falling to Salida in the District 67 Championship 5-3 Wednesday at Northgate Little League's Gillen Field.
Spreckels could not get anything going against Salida starter Matt Dallas, who was the difference in the contest, striking out seven and holding Spreckels to just two hits in his four-plus innings of work. Spreckels put together its best chances when Salida went to its bullpen.
The team took advantage of its final shot, ending the fifth inning with a perfectly executed, shortstop-to-catcher-to-first double play to eliminate valuable insurance runs Salida was looking to put up. Shortstop Dylan Heath fired to catcher Christopher Contreras, who threw a strike to Mason James to end the inning.
Offensively, Spreckels was no different, turning a 5-1 deficit to a 5-3 game with the first four batters of the sixth inning. Christopher Contreras got a key RBI hit to pull Spreckels to within three and a Zach Maderos RBI would pull them as close as they'd get.
Salida took control of what seemed like a close one-run ball game when the group put together back-to-back homeruns to seize momentum. Dallas again had the big hit, blasting a three-run homer that was followed by a solo shot.
Both Josh Tanner and Jessie Babauta both came around to score in the final.
Spreckels closes the District 67 Championship as the runner up, while Salida advances to the Section G Tournament which gets underway Saturday in Ione.

India No.1 Prakash Amritraj recovered from a lethargic start as the hosts routed Nigeria 3-0 to win the gold medal in the men's team event of the tennis competition in the inaugural Afro-Asian Games in Hyderabad on Monday.
After fellow Davis Cupper Rohan Bopanna put India ahead, trouncing Rotimi Jegede 6-2, 6-2, Amritraj found the going tough initially against Sunday Maku, the top-ranked Nigerian, before carving out a 6-4, 6-1 victory.
In the inconsequential third match of the tie, Vijay Kannan and Vishal Uppal tamed Balalola Abdul and Maku 6-1, 6-4 to complete the rout.
The African nation had to be content with the silver.
Amritraj looked out of touch from the beginning and had difficulty in getting his first serves going. He also committed a series of unforced errors as Maku broke him in the third game itself.
The Indian's first serves, which were very effective in the semi-final against Johny Arcila of The Phillpines, let him down and he also failed to return serve on several occasions.
But Amritraj, who is the top-ranked player in the field, kept his cool and bounced back, levelling the scores in the eighth game before breaking his rival in the 10th to clinch the set.
With a double break in the second set --- in the second and fourth games --- Amritraj again wrested the initiative and finished off rather easily in the end. Holding two match-points, the 20-year old Indian slammed an ace to win in style.
In contrast to Jegede's performance in the first match, the 27-year-old Maku, a member of the bronze medal-winning side in the All African Games at Abuja, Nigeria, began with good first serves and hit the ball hard, putting Amritraj under pressure. But he lapsed into errors in the later part of the set and the whole of the second set.
"It's amazing to win the gold for the country. It's great to represent the country and win the gold in an international event," Amritraj said.
Admitting that he did not play to his potential, Amritraj said Maku came out strong with good forehands and also got in his fast first serves.
"I got off to a slow start. But once I got settled it was better and I could close the gap."
Earlier, Bopanna faced few problems against Jegede, who was a surprise entry in place of Nigerian No.2 Abdul.
Bopanna dominated the match as he displayed a near flawless game. His first serves were too good for the Nigerian and his forehand shots went unchallenged on many occasions as Jegede turned out to be a mismatch. And the African put up some semblance of a fight only towards the end of the second set.
Bopanna broke the Nigerian in the very first game and again in the fifth before taking a 5-1 lead en route to clinching the set in just 25 minutes.
Nigerian captain Ubale Mohammad later said they were preserving Abdul for the doubles, hoping that Maku would take the match to the decider.
But Mohamaad gave full credit to the Indians and said his players just could not get going.
"Though ranked low, they are much better players," he said.
India beat Nigeria 3-0 [Rohan Bopanna bt Rotini Jegede 6-2, 6-2; Prakash Amritraj bt Sunday Maku 6-4, 6-4; Vijay Kannan/Vishal Uppal bt Balalola Abdul/Maku 6-1, 6-4.

Wonderful, high-spirited, true, creative and flowing. This is an absolute brilliant poem to send in somewhere that adores poetry like so. The only thing you might want to cut down is repetion of words by using more variety. I know you want to highlight contained and love in the poem, but you could save it for mostly the end and only a couple of sentances within it. But well done! Hope to hear form you,

MOUNT WASHINGTON ee" Senior citizens and retired persons often feel like they are the most underserved populations when it comes to health care, so the local Mount Washington AARP chapter is working with its members to try and educate them about President Barack Obama's proposed health care reform and how it could benefit them.
The chapter recently invited AARP Kentucky's Tihisha Rawlins to address some questions and concerns that local members have about proposed health care reform.

Re: Hiram Tansey Born 1803 NC
In reply to:
Hiram Tansey Born 1803 NC
John, Did I send you anything about Hiram Tansey? I thought I had replied to your post but don't see anything. I do have some information on this Hiram Tansey and Nancy Cutbirth. He's in:
1830 Morgan Co., IN, census
1840 Morgan Co., In census
1850 Morgan Co., Clay Twp., census
1870 Morgan Co. Census - Brown Twp., living with daugher
Minerva J. Davidson and husband Jeptha.
1880 Fed. Census, Morgan Co., Brown Twp. living with son-in=law W. H. Carlisle and daughter RAchel.
Believe that Nancy and Hiram separated or divorced sometime after 1840. Nancy is found in 1850 census of Marion Co., IN, Warren Twp. and in 1860 Census of Marion Co., IN, Warren Twp. with Jesse and Rachel, also Elias N. Skinner and Mahalia Skinner - Nancy possibly working as domestic servant for them.In 1870 Nancy was living with dau. Rachel and William Carlisle. I've found no record of Nancy after that.
Hiram is possibly my gr. gr. grandfather, although I haven't proved that. He had a son Elijah Tansey, whom I believe married Caroline Kunkle, the mother of Andrew Tansey, my grandfather.Do you have any information on any of these people?Does this sound like the line you are researching?
You will find Nancy Cutbirth in the genealogy of Descendants of Benjamin Cutbirth, Sr. at:

Brook and Posner were both in the hospital, their conditions were stable but Brook's parents were causing a fuss. Max and Flynn were trying to calm them down while two nurses were trying to treat them for minimal smoke inhalation. Dex watched as Brook's parents calmed down and then began asking what had happened.
"Can I talk to you for a sec?" Dex turned and smiled at Megan but it fell from her lips when she saw how pale the younger girl's face was. They left the room and stepped into the corridor, when they returned Dex was just as pale as Megan and she wouldn't meet Hale's gaze as they crossed the room to Kelly.
"Where are they going?" asked Dawn. Odessa stopped pacing and turned just in time to see Megan and Dex leaving the waiting room.
They sat in Dex's car in the hospital car park, Megan had her eyes closed and was searching for a vision. She suddenly grinned and opened her eyes.
"The police are going to move him to a safer location, I know what route they will take. Go down there" she said. Dex started the engine and headed down a side road and then onto a smaller road that took them across the back fields towards Hove. A police car was heading their way, Megan nodded. Dex waited until they were passing the car and then her pupils danced and the car was shunted off the road and into a wall. Megan jumped from the car and ran across to the police car, the two officers infront were unconscious but breathing. Bailey Kiss was blinking against the light in the back, he saw her and a small look of hope flickered across his face.
"He's alive" called Megan.
"Shame" replied Dex. She used her power to rip the back door from its hinges and then both girls dragged the struggling murderer across the empty road and bundled him into the trunk of their car.
Bailey Kiss woke up slowly and looked around the room with bleary eyes. The walls were bare bricks and the only furniture was the chair he was tied to. Wait. Tied to a chair? He struggled but couldn't move and his scream was muffled by the gag on his mouth. A bare bulb above Bailey's head flickered into life and he saw three people in the corner of the room. The two girls were a couple of witches from that big house! But the old man was a stranger and Kiss didn't like the feral grin on his face.
"Well, he's awake so we'll leave you to it" said the girl with dreadlocks. The shorter girl followed her friend out of the room and the door banged shut with an echoing clang.
"You don't know me but I know you. My name is Michael Lee. You probably didn't know my friend James Sugden, he's dead now." Kiss frowned behind his gag and shook his head, the surnames rang a distant chord of memory and he began to get very worried. These people weren't police. Lee picked up a large knife from the floor and advanced upon the struggling man.
"You might remember our daughters. Lana Lee." The knife flashed and pain ripped through his right cheek. "Or Gemma Sugden." Another flash and his entire face seemed to be on fire. Kiss began to scream behind his gag but he had an awful feeling that nobody could hear him. Lee smiled and examined the blood on his blade.
"I only wanted five minutes, you know. But there's no rush I suppose." Kiss screamed.
Megan and Dex arrived at the hotel Dr Posner had arranged for the group a little after midnight. Both looked exhausted and neither could look anybody in the eye.
"Where did you go off to?" asked Hale. Dex shrugged and stared at the carpet beneath her boots.
"We had stuff to do. How's Brook?"
"Alive." Hale tried to get into Dex's mind to see what she was hiding but she knew that trick and kicked him out with a vicious shove that almost had him seeing stars. The doors swung open again and Dr Posner walked in, Max followed and the look on the young medico's face made it obvious he wasn't happy about Posner being out of hospital.
"The house should be ready for us in six months, maybe eight. Brook . . . May not come back at all" said Posner. He dropped into a chair and stared at the gathered group. Every face held at least a touch of guilt, Brook hadn't been a very likeable person but she didn't deserve what had happened to her. His eyes suddenly turned to steel.
"Kiss has gone missing. The police car was involved in an accident and they believe he escaped but the officers in the car don't remember another vehicle colliding with them." Posner looked from Megan to Dex and back again but both girls suddenly took an interest in the cracked ceiling. Hale's face turned pale, he walked across the room and stood where Dex couldn't avoid looking at him.
"What did you do?" he whispered. There was a pause before Dex replied.
"We gave Michael Lee some time alone with his daughter's killer." They all jumped as Posner slammed his palm down on the table, he struggled to his feet.
"We are not vigilantes!" Dex laughed, it was a high pitched and very nearly hysterical sound.
"What about all those kids we just stood back and watched jump off that cliff? Or those two girls we left with the Baba Yaga? We are vigilantes when it suits us, Dr Posner and those two were your choice!" Dex swung away from him and made it half way across the room before Posner's quiet voice stopped her. She turned and noticed Kelly staring at his twin as if he no longer knew her.
"It's not what we stand for, Dextra. We can't make those sorts of decisions and we can't help people to take revenge. We're not murderers." Dex's pupils shrank to the size of pinheads, as they expanded all the windows exploded.
"Just me then" she snapped. Dex spun on her heel, the door swung open and then slammed shut with a crash behind her. _
Dex slammed into her hotel room and threw herself onto the bed. She heard the door open again but she wasn't quick enough to close it before Hale slipped into the room.
"What's happened to you?" he asked. Dex rolled over and sat up, her eyes narrowed but her pupils remained steady.
"I'm tired of dealing with hypocrites. Posner says we're not vigilantes but we are! He makes decisions that are above the law and we're supposed to just go along with it? I'm done. Posner wants me, he knows where I am. Get out!" Hale opened his mouth to speak but he suddenly found himself on the floor in the corridor, the door slammed shut and he heard the bolt being thrown.
Dex moved a chair to the door and threw herself back onto the bed. She closed her eyes and took a shaky breath. Things had been going so well and now she would probably be sent away. Or arrested for murder. Dex felt a strange tightening in her chest and, for the first time in a long time, Dextra Barlow burst into tears. She cried for Brook and for Megan and for the missing sister Dex had only just found out about. And she cried for herself.
An hour later, the tears had finally dried and Dex didn't so much fall asleep as drop into a coma. There was nothing wrong with that except that, when the dream came again, there was no getting away from it.

Hey guys,
Recently i'm having trouble with 2v2 Arena, i know it is all about the setup in 2v2 but a lot of the arena matches we play have BM hunters in it .
My team's setup is Spriest and Rogue (me). The main issue that we face are dual hunters, me and my partner start out stealthed ( the aoe stealth stuff we rogues have ). So ofc those hunters will popp flares and traps, so i disarm most of those traps and try to Sap one hunter. If one hunter is sapped i attack and get my bleeds and poison dots up, or blind the second one ( depending wether or not the sapped one trinkets ) But For us rogues that's it for cc. Now what happens 99% of the time Both huntards Enrage pop deterenace disengage and both use stampeed on me or my Partner killing him in 2-5 secs ( we have +66% resi ) and well after that it's /cry for me .
Last night we faced a team with BM hunter who killed us both (Vanish missfired) without doing anything else but Auto shot and stampeed..
Any advice how 2 counter dual BM huntards as SPriest and Rogue ? Or just roll over and play dead ?
(And is it just me or is stampeed unfair in 2s ? )

Two men living in late 1980s San Francisco argued and fought loudly every night, while other tenants listened, taped the arguments, stimulated new arguments with crank phone calls to the apartment, taped the ensuing reactions and gave copies to friends, thus creating a cult classic art piece. With Ivan Brunetti, Daniel Clowes, Mitch Deprey, Peter Haskett, Raymond Huffman, Mike Mitchell, Henry S. Rosenthal, Eddie Lee Sausage and Bob Mothersbaugh. Directed by Matthew Bate. [1:30]
SEX/NUDITY 3 - The sexuality of two middle-aged male roommates is questioned many times in the film and in audio recordings: one of the men presents himself as openly gay and the other claims "Queers are not human." A man shouts loudly two dozen times at his male roommate that he (the second man) is a "queer [expletive deleted]." In a crank call to an aging man, a younger man asks if the older man's roommate is queer and if he (the caller) should bend over and grab his ankles so he can have sex with him.
► We hear that a man in a bar asks two younger dinner companions, "Well fellows, we could get a room," implying sex and drinking; the younger men decline. We hear that a younger man kisses an older man several times in order to get him to sign a contract.
► Two men dance together in their apartment. In a snapshot, we see a man standing in the middle of a highway with his jeans down around his ankles, bare-legged and his shirt tails covering his genitals.
► A pregnant woman stands clothed in her kitchen as her husband kisses her very large belly.
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - Throughout the film we hear audiotapes played as voiceovers, and we see cult film footage and comic book conversation balloons depicting violent arguments between two men in a small apartment. Slapping sounds are heard in audiotapes. In a play re-enactment of violent audiotapes, one man takes a large carving knife, cuts open the obviously fake, fat belly of the other and pulls out yards of material painted red to resemble intestines; twice, one man seems to beat and kick the other man behind a couch and use the carving knife to decapitate him, holding up the gory, obviously rubberized head to the audience.
► Twice, filmmakers in monologues accuse other filmmakers of greed and exploitation; then the accused men state in their own monologues rather angrily that that they are not greedy or exploitive.
► On tape recordings, a man shouts loudly many times at his male roommate that he is a "queer [expletive deleted]" and we hear sounds of slapping. We hear a man tell another man 7 times, "I will kill you." A man tells another man that knocks at his apartment door, "I was a killer before you were born and I'll be a killer after you're dead." A man says, "I didn't know an old roommate of mine was dead until the other day. It made me happy."
► A man claims twice to have been wounded in World War II; another man laughs at him and the first man shouts obscenities at the second. A man says that two male roommates were good friends while sober and enemies when drunk, which was nightly.
► A filmmaker has several taxidermied, two-headed calves in his office as decorations, along with the skull of another one under a glass dome on a side table. A human skull sits in a basket in a living room window and we see it twice. We see four images of people dressed as devils with pitchforks poking people in the ears.
PROFANITY 10 - About 103 F-words, 27 sexual references, 47 scatological terms, 11 anatomical terms, 16 mild obscenities, name-calling (fat, jerk, dog, queer, dirty, filthy, cheating, liar, lazy, sick old man, bum, little man, greedy, vindictive, ho (whore), fool, redneck, potheads, queer-hating, loons), exclamations ("shut up, little man!" and "shut ups!") 26 stereotypical references to the Chinese, gays, homophobes, old men, old women, San Francisco, alcoholics, college kids, welfare recipients, the Midwest, filmmakers, 12 religious profanities, 5 religious exclamations. [profanity glossary]
SUBSTANCE USE - A man smokes a marijuana cigarette and a woman smokes drugs from a bong, a bedside table is filled with packets of unmarked pills of some sort, and a man tells another man that potheads get hungry for sweets. Several snapshots show men and woman smoking cigarettes and drinking beer and liquor, a man smokes a cigarette and we see 5 empty beer bottles on a side table, two men in a bar drink from glasses of liquor and a cartoon man sitting across from them smokes a cigarette and drinks from a glass of alcohol, a coffee table in an office is filled with empty beer and wine cooler bottles, several long rows of shelves are filled floor to ceiling with various liquors in a liquor store, two men each hold an open magnum bottle of champagne in a photo, two Muppet-like puppets behave drunkenly by stumbling and holding glasses of liquor and while in the hallway of their apartment building another puppet holds a flask of vodka and trembles, and we hear two men arguing with one calling the other a drunk and they both slur their words. A man smokes a cigarette, two men smoke cigarettes while driving a car in a snapshot and two men dance together amidst heavy cigarette smoke in their living room.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Aging, alcoholism, sexual orientation, homophobia, homosexuality, loneliness, recreational drugs, conflict, relationships, privacy laws, filmmaking, art vs. exploitation.
MESSAGE - Art should be thought provoking and target the human condition.

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process.

As we sit in front of the latest version of Ubuntu, Fedora or SUSE, revelling in the glorious animated desktops, taking pleasure in the ease-of-use the GUI grants and enjoying the fact that most of our hardware works out of the box, do we ever wonder how on Earth our favourite operating system got to this point?
Do we consider and appreciate the amount of time and effort that a long list of developers have taken in reaching this Zen-like state of man and OS? Most likely, not.
A quick reminisce of Linux distros long gone made us think about the history of this wonderful OS, and its journey over the last couple of decades. When was it born? How did it evolve? What distros stand out in history as the pivotal turning point that changed a humble bedroom project into the desktop OS we have today? And which poor distros fell by the wayside as failed, crumpled heaps?

Back in September at the IFA Show, we spotted colorful versions of the Samsung NP300V5A Series 3 15.6-inch laptop PC. Now, a blue (NP300V5A-A0AUS) and a pink (NP300V5A-A09US) model have arrived for the US customers.
The Samsung NP300V5A-A0AUS and NP300V5A-A09US are basically white, while the surfaces between keyboard keys and lids are blue and pink, respectively, with a brushed metal texture. What we liked on these notebooks is their slim bezel, which gives the laptops a better look, but also enables a smaller footprint.
The models we saw had an Intel Core i5 processor, but the NP300V5A-A0AUS and NP300V5A-A09US sold via Walmart feature the 2.1GHz Intel Pentium B950 with dual CPU cores and Intel HD 3000 integrated graphics. The processor is paired with 4GB of RAM, while for data storing there are a 500GB hard disk and a DVD writer. The OS version is Windows 7 Home Premium.
The screen on these laptops is anti-glare with a resolution of 1366×768 pixels.
Samsung's NP300V5A-A0AUS and NP300V5A-A09US have a 1.3-megapixel webcam, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, HDMI and VGA ports, three USB 2.0 connectors, and a 4-in-1 media card reader.
The battery is a 6-cell lithium-ion one. Samsung says it's designed for the long haul, retaining "80% of the original battery capacity for up to 1,000 charges".
The Series 3 NP300V5A-A0AUS and NP300V5A-A09US are affordable. Both are priced at $465.00 at Walmart, after instant savings.

If you're thinking about buying a WiFi fourth-generation iPad, you're in luck. Apple apparently is making enough of the new speedy devices to keep them in stock at the online Apple Store in many countries. At this time, the US, Canada, Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea and Singapore stores all show "in stock" availability according to a post on MacRumors.
For other countries where the newest full-sized iPad has launched, availability is showing three to five business days. This is currently the case for the UK, French, German, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese stores.
The cellular-capable iPads are still on track for mid-November delivery in the US, with late November marked for other countries. Those who are thinking about the iPad mini will need to wait for about two weeks in most countries.

Celebration: Kate Miss
: : I'm pretty thrilled to have Kate Miss from For Me, For You contribute a guest post, as I think she's a pretty neat person. I'm trying, quite valiantly, not to spend money in her new shop (sorry Kate) as I'm saving up for a trip to Israel, to visit my family. But please, feel free to spend on my behalf. Thanks for this great recipe Kate, I promise to try it. And I agree, a special occasion deserves a fancy drink : :
While champagne is typically associated with celebration, I have to admit that I'm not the biggest fan of the bubbly. It's no doubt exciting to pop that cork and signify the start of celebration, but once it's down the hatchet my excitement fades over the taste and way it makes my head feel. I much prefer to celebrate with a fancy cocktail: One that takes a bit of preparation and feels indulgent and special, something that requires the purchase of a wallet-denting spirit.
I have my liquor phases and they usually revolve around the seasons. Whiskey and I are great friends when it's colder, but right now during the hot Los Angeles summer here I'm all about gin. For a long time I thought I hated gin until a friend introduced me to Hendrick's, which if you haven't tried before has a wonderful cucumber and rose flavor. Unfortunately it's not the most affordable gin out there and I don't buy it that often on my freelancer's budget, but that just makes it all the more special. Of course you can use your favorite gin in this recipe, but that's just my recommendation. I've been experimenting with basil drinks lately and thought I'd whip up a basil gimlet for this post, but decided to make it a bit more summery when some beautiful blackberries caught my eye at the farmers market. Nothing says summer to me quite like blackberries.
Blackberry Basil Gimlet
2 oz gin
1/2-3/4 oz lime juice (I use 1/2 of one medium lime)
1/2 oz simple syrup*
4-5 fresh basil leaves
3-4 fresh blackberries
Place the basil leaves and blackberries in a cocktail shaker and using a muddler or the back of a wooden spoon, smash the blackberries gently. Fill the shaker with ice and top with the lime juice, simple syrup and gin. Shake the devil out of it and strain into a small glass. If the drink is too strong for your taste, this is also delicious topped with club soda.
* To make simple syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water on a pot and boil until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let it cool before using. You can store it in the fridge for up to two weeks. An alternate way of making this drink would be to boil the syrup with basil for 20 minutes, instead of muddling basil, to make basil simple syrup.
Now, let's raise a glass to Hila and her wonderful new book! Cheers!

Wenger said,
'I don't know, he has a knee problem. I think he will be out for Tuesday.'
Toure who was set for a rest will now have to feature possibly alongside Sol Campbell.
Toure is one yellow card away from a susspension.

In 1992, John Gooding and Geoff Gabites started Adventure South with only a bus, a set of bikes and a few tents.
Today, no other company offers a wider range, or more experience, when it comes to cycle touring Aotearoa, the Land of the Long White Cloud.
In 1994, the Department of Conservation made a controversial decision not to hand back the land used by the defunct railway line to local farmers and instead use it for something else. Ideas like horse riding, walking - or heaven forbid, cycling - were proposed and met with ridicule and angst from the rural community.
They stood their ground and the rest is history, literally.
Featured by Lonely Planet as the #2 active thing to do when visiting New Zealand, the Otago Rail Trail helped place New Zealand firmly on the cycle tourist's map.
It also gave rise to the $50 million Nga Haerenga project which has delivered NZ many more world class Cycle Trails, of which Adventure South operate more guided trips along than anyone else.
Travelling along a dedicated Cycle Trail is a great introduction to cycle touring. Trips are shorter, not as demanding and very affordable.
For more enthusiastic cyclists, touring the well maintained, quiet backcountry NZ roads along the rugged West Coast, into Milford Sound, around the Southern Lakes or into the vineyards of the Marlborough region provide worthy cycling objectives indeed.
Our programme of Road Cycling trips across the South Island essentially circumnavigate the entire island when all linked together.
Encounter grinding glaciers, primal rainforests and dramatic coastal scenery as we 'cycle the best and drive the rest'.
Swoop down Haast Pass, explore the Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers, discover Lake Matheson and its magnificent reflection of the Southern Alps and enjoy a ride on the TranzAlpine train for the spectacular journey back to Christchurch.
Nothing compares to experiencing this exhilarating part of the South Island by bike – and no one does Road Cycling in NZ better than us.
Our road touring itineraries are ideal for keen cyclists who relish greater distances and don't mind occasionally sharing with traffic or tackling a hill or two. Each trip contains one day that will truly challenge you, or if you prefer, just cycle the best and forget the rest thanks to the back-up support vehicle.

Members pictured include (left to right): Heidi Van Abel, Scott Zolltheis, Jeff Morgan, Shaylene Morris and Ashley Kobel. Lynn Erickson | 9月 16, 2013 | North America: Wisconsin Kristin Zolltheis launched the Manitowoc Miracles Health Club in Wisconsin this summer with a weekly bide ride along the beautiful Lake Michigan coast. Six Special Olympics athletes along with Zolltheis and an assistant met every week at their local YMCA to begin a 12-mile journey, with a stop midway at their local Subway where peer education frequently was overhead ("Let's order a 6-inch sub instead of a footlong," and, "Water or milk are better choices than soda."). News of this fun experience spread fast, and their group is now up to 10 cyclists. What's next for the Manitowoc Miracles? This month, they are beginning a community walking club and are engaging more people in this Special Olympics Healthy Communities' activity by partnering with Holiday House, a local agency that offers employment opportunities to people with intellectual disabilities, the local YMCA, and the Manitowoc County Health Department.

Could you ask your readers where I should go out to eat in Lakeland Florida? Family has already moved down and is currently doing all the franchises. I need the REAL places to go to. Best burgers, ribs, chicken, Italian. Etc etc
I live in Lakeland and I can help you out.
Burgers: Chop Shop (S. Kentucky Ave.)
Ribs: Smoke & Taters (S. Florida & Riggins – Weekends Only)
Chicken: (Wings? Natalies on S. Florida)
Italian: La Porta Rossa (on Edgewood Ave.) (Best fine dining in town)
Chinese: Peking House (S. Florida & Oak St.)
Cuban: MJs Cuban Cafe (on Robin Road)
Well, my father-in-law who lives there is particularly fond of the Golden Corral and Bob Evans, but that's probably not what you're looking for.
To Chuck: is Kau Kau's still open in Lakeland? went to Florida Southern back in the late 80's not to eat of course just to wet my whistle……….
If you like Japanese/Sushi GOSH! is fantastic.
Every time I go down to Florida I stop in at Grandpa Johnson's BBQ which is in Plant City, not too far away. The food is wonderful and not expensive.
Zohra's Lakeside for fine continental fare; Louis Macks for steak.
Do yourself a favor drive to Tampa rte 4 west 1 hr, Great restaurants in Tampa, on clearwater beach Frenchs,
This is from my nephew and his wife who live in Lakeland:
Elena's Cuban Cafe – BEST empanadas and try the ropas viejas
Romeo's is great new york style pizza and italian
Mario's fine dining italian
Shanghai Express (the one on South FL Ave) I do take out only. Looks shady but great food!
There is a great farm market in Plant City called Parksdale (cheap produce and good strawberry desserts)
Thanx for the help.

A funny thing happened when I went to trim the usually gorgeous vines on the front of the house…
Last year's severe freeze made it necessary to take action. They sported an unattractive crunchy brown layer of dead leaves on the top, with new growth underneath; something had to be done.
All I planned to do was trim the outer layer, allowing sun and springtime space to do its thang. I knew we'd have to wait out the ugly phase, but I wasn't worried.
That is until Husband decided to innocently tug at a layer of vines that had slumped forward in a death knell and it unexpectedly PEELED CLEANLY AWAY FROM THE WALL. Oh lawsy.
The vines were so dead that all we had to do was pull them from the wall, hack off the bottom layer and then roll them up, sleeping bag-style, before placing them in a garbage bag to be set at the curb. I was stunned at the ease in which they came down, after all the years we had tried to tame them and they wouldn't budge.
When it was all said and done, we had vines that looked like this:
Ohmyohmyohmy. Now, instead of three stately columns of rich green vines framing the front of our house, filling you with a peaceful spot of calm before we answer the door, our abode sports the bad haircut look.
We are officially that house in the neighborhood. The house that makes you cock your head to one side when you see it. Huh. What are they doing there? Vines like those take years to grow in. Years, people!
To all my neighbors, I'm sorry you're stuck looking at it. Rest assured, just like a bad haircut, it won't last forever.

Can You Still Buy Advanced Micro Devices and NVIDIA?
Both NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) have performed brilliantly this year. I had recommended buying both the stocks a few months ago, and both are up considerably since then. Advanced Micro Devices in particular has provided triple-digit returns. After the recent runup, Advanced Micro Devices has less room to run and lesser safety margin than NVIDIA. Hence, Advanced Micro Devices investors should book partial profits whereas NVIDIA investors should continue holding the stock, primarily because of the company's diverse revenue stream. A robust presence NVIDIA released Drive Px2, an in-car artificial intelligence supercomputer, earlier this year. Drive PX2 accounts for the first supercomputer built for a car. The company detailed that Drive PX2 is designed in such a way it can process 24 trillion deep learning operations per…

One of the most frustrating and potentially dangerous situations can occur when a computer fails to boot properly. Whether this is caused by a system crash or an infection there are times when it can be nearly impossible to recover personal data. Tenorshare Data Recovery WinPE is a software package that creates a bootable disk which can be used in the event of a catastrophic system crash (even when the computer itself appears to be severely compromised).
Main Features and Benefits
Tenorshare Data Recovery WinPE is meant to be used as a backup image file in the event of a system failure. It can either be burned onto a CD or sent to a USB flash drive. Assuming that an operating system fails to load this external hardware can be inserted and the standard start-up process will be bypassed. This enables you to access important data before it is permanently lost or otherwise damaged.
Operational Advantages
Tenorshare Data Recovery WinPE is able to access damaged partially deleted or corrupted files. It can also recover data that was deleted from the recycle bin. This software supports all major file types (such as FAT12 and NTFS) and it is able to back up data from external devices such as USB sticks and mobile phones.

The Sheriff & the Golden Boy: Take 17
by Amy Lignor
Everyone has talked about it…and talked about it…and talked about it. Yes. We get the picture. Tom Brady, the illustrious QB who is playing in the AFC Championship for the fifth time, is meeting up with Peyton Manning. Manning…a dying breed. One of the 'best of the best' who everyone wants to see grasp that Lombardi just one more time before riding into the sunset, leaving behind an incredible career that no one will ever forget.
The Patriots walked into Mile High to play this, the 17th match-up between Golden Boy/Psycho Tom Brady and Sheriff Peyton Manning, with all their ducks in a row. Gronkowski who all defenses fear was on the gridiron. Amendola, Edelman – you name the 'star' and Tom Brady had him to throw to. On the other side, you had the best defense this season and a QB whose shots have been a little wobbly once in a while (although, it's not really his fault that when he's right on target his teammates still perform the dropsies). But Manning is also one of the greatest minds in football. You can bet he studied long and hard leading up to this game, learning everything there was to learn about the cute little things that Patriots Coach Bill Belichick (great mind #2) was planning to throw at him.
It felt like a legendary game. All everyone across the country could think about was whether Manning would end his career at the 50th Super Bowl ever played; or if Tom Brady would get the chance to play for his fifth Super Bowl ring. Either way, the legacies of these two men were set in stone far before the game began. Their deliverance into the Hall of Fame is not in question. But what picture would you really want to have hanging up in your home? Peyton holding the 50th Lombardi trophy, or moron Roger Goodell having to suck it up and hand the Lombardi to the man he wanted more than anything to destroy through Deflategate?
Let's just say that the game did not start off the way all the "experts" had been saying it would. Tom Brady was rushed. He was sacked. His team was called for penalties. A challenge flag was thrown out early by Belichick, and they basically all looked a tad confused. Except for, apparently, Belichick…because the call was overturned and the ball was handed to the Patriots at the Broncos 22-yard line. Penalty flag – personal foul against the Broncos. (What was this? Did these two usually clean, good teams decide to play like Seattle?) Manning…well, he and his team racked up a TD, and the crowd noise coming from Mile High was so loud it hit the ears of fans from Seattle to Dallas. Apparently, the game was not going to be as easy for the Patriots as all those so-called "experts" said it would be. Even their place kicker, a man who had 523 consecutive kicks, actually missed the uprights for the extra point when the Pats scored. Oh, yeah…this was one game that was about to go down in history.
The excitement never ended. Tom was hurried a great deal, causing him to throw the Broncos the ball. The fear, the anger, all emotions were laid out there on that field with both teams wanting this win with everything they had. Looked like Brady was trying to prove something. Looked like Manning knew deep down that he "could be" playing his last game and wanted to make sure it would only be his second-to-last.
Tablets went down on the Patriots sideline. The Broncos hit brutally, going low, chop blocking just about everyone they could find. (Again…was Seattle playing?) The two cleanest teams in the NFL were definitely not clean. An end of pure excitement, though, as Brady and Gronk came together for a TD, then went for two points which Brady (strangely) threw to a man covered by five Broncos.
What this game turned out to be, however, was not what the "experts" had called for. In fact, Manning versus Brady never occurred. What did occur in this AFC Championship was Brady versus the Denver Broncos #1 Defense. And Brady, taking the punches, hits and sacks, eventually lost the battle. There will be no back-to-back for the Pats. But there will be one more shot for the Sheriff of Denver, and if his defense stays with him the way they did this Sunday, then Peyton Manning will (not likely, but possibly) ride off into the football sunset wearing one more Super Bowl ring on his finger. After seeing the NFC Championship…I'd put all my money on the NFC taking the Lombardi trophy this year quite easily.
Brady? Well…he will come back. That was already known. Roger Goodell can wipe the sweat from his brow (although, it would've been fun to see him suffer), and the gang from New England will, most likely, be in the AFC Championship Game next time around. All we can wonder during the off-season is who will be the next defense Brady will have to fight to earn that 5th Super Bowl ring.

A Postseason Fixture, Lofton Is Well Traveled Off the Basepaths, Too
By JACK CURRY
Published: October 13, 2007
Every time Kenny Lofton of the Cleveland Indians sees the persistently played commercial in which a shipping company talks about sending his baseball equipment here, there and everywhere, he said, he looks away from the television. Lofton then spoke as if he secretly loved the attention.
The humorous 30-second spot shows Lofton's gear supposedly being sent to destinations like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Japan. The commercial ends with a delivery truck spinning from one direction to another, not knowing where to take Lofton's things. It is funny stuff, funny and accurate.
''I looked at it as they're just showing this guy has been all over the place,'' Lofton said. ''The worst part about it, I mean, not the worst part about it. But the bad thing, or not the bad thing, but it's true. That's what makes it not a bad thing. I mean, shoot, I've been all over the dang place.''
Lofton began his career in Houston in 1991, went to Cleveland, to Atlanta, back to Cleveland, to Chicago with the White Sox, to San Francisco, to Pittsburgh, back to Chicago with the Cubs, to New York with the Yankees, to Philadelphia, to Los Angeles with the Dodgers, to Texas and, for the third time, back to Cleveland with the Indians two and a half months ago.
Do not expect Lofton to wear the most creative Halloween costume or dole out the sweetest candy, because he is often busy in October. In Lofton's 17 years in the major leagues, he has been to the postseason 11 times. He started in left field Friday night and went 2 for 4 with two doubles as the Indians lost, 10-3, to the Red Sox in Game 1 of the American League Championship Series.
As Johnny Cash sang, Lofton has been everywhere, man. But Lofton, 40, also has a knack for being on contending teams. The Indians acquired Lofton from the Texas Rangers on July 27, a reunion that surprised Lofton, who has now spent more than 10 years of his career with Cleveland.
''I just enjoy it because, if you think too much of it, it will confuse the heck out of you,'' Lofton said. ''So I'm not going to even think about it. Certain things are just meant to be. Things happen for a reason.''
Lofton has been awfully busy with 369 postseason at-bats, but he has never played on a team that won it all. Lofton was close with the 1995 Indians and the 2002 Giants, who each tumbled in the World Series, and close with the 2003 Cubs, who had an infamous fall in the National League Championship Series after a fan interfered with a catchable ball.
Lofton has been baseball's Forrest Gump of sorts, except with frustrating results. Lofton was playing center field, beside Barry Bonds, when the Giants blew a 5-0 lead against the Angels and lost, 6-5, in Game 6 of the World Series, then lost Game 7, too. Lofton called that series loss his worst in October.
''It was just meant to be,'' Lofton said. ''What that reason is, I don't know. I'm not going to ask why and try to figure it out. I'll go crazy.''
One year later, Lofton was playing center again, this time beside Moises Alou, when Steve Bartman reached out and prevented Alou from snaring a foul pop-up in Game 6 of the N.L.C.S. The incident helped fuel an eight-run inning that allowed the Marlins to prevail. Florida beat the Cubs in the decisive game and defeated the Yankees in the World Series.
In 1995, Lofton was playing center for the Indians as the Braves stifled them in six games to win a championship. Lofton made the first out in the ninth inning of the last game. So, while Lofton keeps pushing for a ring, someone like the Yankees' Clay Bellinger, who had 311 big league at-bats, has two rings.
''I'm lucky to get that opportunity,'' Lofton said. ''After you get that opportunity, you can't explain the bouncing ball. You can't explain it.''
Now Lofton is back in the A.L.C.S. with the Indians and is imploring his teammates to ''seize the moment and enjoy it.'' He has 2,428 hits, 1,528 runs and a .299 career average, solid statistics. Lofton batted .283 in 52 games for the Indians.
Despite Lofton's pit stops, he said he felt the most at home in Cleveland because it was where he showed the baseball world who he was. Lofton is trying to help the Indians show the baseball world who they are, trying to win their first title since 1948. For Lofton, that would be worth the latest trip on his endless itinerary.
CHART: No Matter the Uniform, Lofton Usually Plays in October: Kenny Lofton, who is making his 11th appearance in the postseason, is ranked fourth in career playoff plate appearances. But unlike many players, Lofton has gone with a variety of teams. Chart lists top ten players in post-seasons.

A HOTEL and business venue on the edge of Morpeth has suddenly closed today.
The news about Longhirst Hall came after the tenant management company that runs most of the site, Hotel Lease (Number 3) Ltd, went into liquidation with immediate effect.
It leased properties from owner Felton Property & Investments, which has not gone bust.
The Decoro spa is unaffected as it is a completely separate business.
Northumberland Tourism staff were told to move out of their unit at Longhirst by the end of the day, although its telephone and website services will be unaffected over the weekend whilst it gets up and running at alternative premises.
Its general manager, Jude Leitch, said: "We were told the news by the finance department at Longhirst Hall.
"It's disappointing to lose a hotel like this and we feel very sorry for the staff who will be losing their jobs."
The closure does not affect Longhirst Hall Golf Club in any way. It is operated by Dawson and Sanderson travel agents.

As alternative fuels gain prevalence in world markets, industry practices will dictate their environmental and economic sustainability. The successful replacement millions of barrels of crude oil daily with a renewable fuel necessitates the apropos application of green chemistry. To this end, practitioners of enabling technologies must work to advance traditional green techniques beyond laboratory curiosities.
Ultrasonic cavitation and microwave irradiation are two such techniques currently proposed as solutions for common Biodiesel industry challenges. The presented work introduces a unique combined approach leveraging advanced concepts in microwave processing, high intensity ultrasonics, and reaction chemistry towards a robust and sustainable process solution.

A Funny Look at Romance
I think many romance readers can appreciate the ribbing that Rachel receives. We've all had that friend...and it's usually a male. Hmmm....
Valentine's Day Special
This can't be a better time to introduce this new blog. After all, it's the time of roses and chocolates—pure romance (or a suckerfest depending on your view). It's Valentine's Day! Let me tell you a bit about this blog. There are reviews, character profiles (Heroes and Heroines) and news of upcoming books and new authors. If you're anything like me, sometimes I like to cheat and head to the last page. Guilty? Well, we have Ruined Romance for you. There you can take a peek at that book you're not too sure of. We'll be happy to spoil the ending for you! We'll also be sure to post if there are any contests or sales where you can get the best deals for your favorite books. Be sure to look for links to other sites where you can buy eBooks (Ellora's Cave is a definite favorite of mine!) and purchase traditional books. Everything's still under construction, so if you don't see something, give it some time. Look for this week's review. It will focus on the anthology My Zombie Valentine. Catchy title, isn't it? I know what you must be thinking…ripped flesh and protruding bones does not a romance make. However, keep an open mind. I plan to. The four stories include Bring Out Your Dead by Katie MacAlister, Gentlemen Prefer Voodoo by Angie Fox, Zombiewood Confidential by Marianne Mancusi and Every Part of You by Lisa Cach. I'll have the review for you just in time for "candy and hearts" day.

Colleagues say McCalmont, 49, was looking forward to the Supreme Court case as a momentous event in her career.
But then, last week, she hanged herself at her home in Norman — a suicide that stunned and baffled some of those who knew her.
''She seemed like she was on top of the world,'' said Dr. William Kinsinger, an Oklahoma City anesthesiologist who worked with McCalmont on a capital case. ''I'm absolutely dumbfounded.''
Her husband, Craig Dixon, a geophysicist, would not discuss what might have troubled his wife. She left no suicide note.
At the time of her death, she was a consultant to the Death Penalty Clinic at the law school at the University of California at Berkeley, and worked passionately to save the lives of death row inmates. She advised attorneys across the country who were working on challenges to lethal injection.
McCalmont was not directly involved in the Kentucky case before the Supreme Court, in which two condemned men claim lethal injection amounts to cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the Eighth Amendment.
But colleagues said she helped lay the groundwork for similar challenges in other jurisdictions. She argued that if the drugs were not properly administered, the condemned could suffer excruciating pain without being able to cry out.
''We wouldn't be where we are today with lethal injection cases if it were not for her,'' said Ty Alper, a colleague of McCalmont's at the Death Penalty Clinic. ''In large part due to the work of lawyers like Lisa, lawyers in every death penalty case are challenging the method of lethal injection in their cases.''
In agreeing to hear the case, the Supreme Court appears to have put a halt to executions in the U.S. for now.
''I think that she was glad the high court had stepped in to resolve this because the lower courts were all over the place,'' said a colleague of McCalmont's George Kendall, a New York-based lawyer and board member at the Death Penalty Information Center. ''This is a major-league constitutional issue the court announced it will attempt to decide.''
McCalmont brought a scientific background to the job: She had a successful career in the 1980s and early 1990s as a geologist for Houston-based Conoco Inc. She received a bachelor's degree in geology at Dickinson College in 1979 and pursued graduate studies in geology at the University of Arizona.
''She was able to leverage her great scientific expertise and mind and use it to great effect in the lethal injection work, which is all about medicine and science,'' Alper said. He said she also had a ''great legal mind'' and was ''very compassionate and dedicated to her clients.''
A 1996 graduate of the University of Tulsa College of Law, McCalmont previously worked for the federal public defender's office in Oklahoma City, where she successfully argued a federal appeal on behalf of Oklahoma death row inmate Glenn Anderson, convicted of a triple killing.
McCalmont argued that during the death penalty phase of his trial, his attorney failed to investigate potential mitigating evidence. Anderson was resentenced in June to life without parole.
Some of those who knew McCalmont said she did not appear to be despondent recently.
John McShane, founder of the Dallas-based Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers, a support group for attorneys, said depression can be an occupational hazard for lawyers.
''The best and most compassionate lawyers are the most vulnerable to mental illness,'' McShane said. ''Your job is to protect your client from all the things that can go wrong, and you're hyper-vigilant about all the negatives associated with a situation.''

Recently, I made the switch to iPhone after ditching my Crackberry. I thought I was obsessed with my berry and wouldn't be able to adjust to life without it but I was wrong. I don't know how I lived before I had my iPhone.
It is super easy to use, not to mention there is an app for everything– including fashion and style. Recently, one of my favorite stylists June Ambrose was even featured in a Revlon app so now I get a double dose on her on the app and on Twitter.
Here's the scoop on her app along with 9 others I can't live without:
1. Revlon All Access
The newly-launched Revlon app is a daily source of fashion and beauty tips and tricks from some of the best in the business. And did we mention Celebrity stylist June Ambrose is one of the experts? Enough said.
2. Style.com
This app comes through in the clutch if you wish you had all-access coverage to fashion shows and the fashion industry's social scene.
3. WWD Blast
This app keeps you updated with the fashion news that you need to know and allows you to follow WWD's blog and twitter in the same place.
4. Fashism
If you've ever sent pictures to your BFF from a dressing room to get her opinion, Fashism is right up your alley. You upload a picture of yourself and other users give feedback in real time. You can follow certain people or browse for inspiration.
5. Feather
Is the stylish girl's weather man because this app not only gives you the weather report but offers outfit suggestions, too. You can actually shop the suggestions.
6. Gilt
Flash sales are all the rage now, and though there seem to be a million to shop from, Gilt has my heart. And space on my iPhone. I can shop directly from the app. Sale alerts pop up to remind me when sales start.
Nail polish is a huge component when it comes to your 'look.' OPI lets you choose a hand that resembles your skin tone and try on nail polishes to see if you like them before you rush out and buy the latest collection.
8. Sephora
Sephora now lets you shop directly from you phone with their app. You can get beauty advice, find out about new products and create a shopping list of goodies to pick up the next time you in the store. My favorite option lets you scan a product in the store and get a demo right on your phone!
9. Shop Lucky
From the magazine that made shopping so much is easier is the app that lets you shop for pieces you've seen in the magazine as well as deals of the day.
10. Vogue Stylist
Meet your personal stylist! This app lets you incorporate trends into your wardrobe as well as helps you style and outfit around a single piece. It's a lot of fun to play with.
Will you download any of these apps to your iPhone/iPad? Did I leave any of your favorites off the list? Sound off below!

If your business has a Twitter account, you might want to consider using it to do a little digging into what the competition is up to. We're not suggesting anything underhanded here – but just by browsing past tweets, looking at following lists and monitoring the conversation, you can learn a lot about your competitors. And you can do it all without Bond's expensive gadgets.
Start with a Twitter management tool
If you're going to get a handle on the competition on Twitter, you've got to be able to mange tweets effectively. We suggest using a tool like HootSuite or TweetDeck to ensure that you can monitor multiple search terms, lists and accounts easily.
Follow the competition
The first step is to watch what the competition is tweeting. You can easily do this by following them on Twitter, in order to get their tweets in your timeline directly. If you don't want to follow them with your business account, you can always use your personal one. And if you think this might be too obvious, try creating a private Twitter list of your competitor's stream – this will only be available to you.
You want to get a little creative when creating this list or following your competitors directly. Search their website for additional accounts they may have, such as customer support and marketing. You might also want to add the personal accounts of executives or employees if they are available.
Search for the competition
HootSuite and other Twitter management platforms allows you to monitor keywords easily. Try searching for hashtags and keywords that your competition might be using – their username, major products, or marketing slogans.
You can organize these hashtags and keywords into columns on HootSuite or TweetDeck, and keep and eye on what people are saying about your competition.
See what people are saying to/about the competition
In addition to searching for keywords related to your competitor, you can also monitor @mentions of their username. You can set this up in HootSuite or TweetDeck just as you would a regular hashtag or keyword search. By keeping tabs on their @mentions, you will be able to monitor what people are saying to or about your competitor.
This can give you great insight into the sentiment of people who deal with the competition – overly positive or negative tweets will stand out. You can also find out about customer service issues they may be having, marketing problems, or successful campaigns by following their @mentions.
Find out who the competition is following
Navigating over to your competition's profile page on Twitter will allow you to dig a little deeper into the relationships they have on Twitter. You can view all of the users they're following, to get a good indication of who they are associated with. This could provide you with information about their partners, possible clients, celebrity endorsements and more.
There are also Twitter apps out there that can show you which accounts are following a certain account back, so you can see which of these follows is a reciprocal relationship for even more insight.

What is ABS?
ABS is the most well-known hard plastic. The primary properties of ABS are impact resistance and toughness. Due to the fact that ABS is always in a hard state, it does not contain any plasticizers, which makes it always phthalate-free and non-porous.
