- More Apps. Apple has always done some great apps like Final Cut Pro, iPhoto, and iMovie, even though they're predominantly known as a hardware/software product company. But with all these devices out living in the world, Apple needs certain apps to be premium quality. Maps is one example. There will be more including – I believe – acquisitions of companies like Twitter and Square, as well as self-developed photo-sharing apps.
- iSmart Devices. Apple will seek to make all electronic devices in your home and office Internet-connected. Rather than build them one by one, Apple is more likely to focus on AirPlay or some equivalent way to interface with all these devices.
- The Post-Phone Era. Google (GOOG) has its Project Glass to think of a world where phones are passé. Apple needs their version of that. It's probably going to be less geeky than Google's sunglasses. It might be something completely off the wall like the holograms patents they filed last year. It's hard to imagine exactly, which is why no one does. iHologram? It sounds kooky now. Check back in 7 years from now.
What I think is unlikely an area for Apple to get into is video games, as some argued a couple of years ago. Why would they need to now with their existing products?
There are probably many other areas Apple could use its cash hoard to get into. But they'll be disciplined and focused. It's probably going to be no more than 5 new products post-TV that we'll see in the next decade.

First Look at Megan Fox as April O'Neil in 'Ninja Turtles'
A photo from the filming set of "Ninja Turtles" features Hollywood babe Megan Fox as April O'Neil. With a PA holding an umbrella for her, the love interest of Shia LaBeouf's character in "Transformers" is seen walking down Wall Street in New York City.
Fox's picture as O'Neil surfaces after she reportedly finished filming scenes "at an underground subway station" last week. She flaunts her beauty in a maroon hoodie, a grey shirt, jeans and a pair of boots.
Before Fox, several actresses have previously portrayed the role, including Judith Hoag and Paige Turco. In 2007's animated film "TMNT", Sarah Michelle Gellar was the voice actress for the character.
Directed by Jonathan Liebesman, the reboot will have "a lot of technology involved" and "a lot of the fight choreography" as previously revealed by Alan Ritchson, who is tapped to play Raphael. Playing Raphael's partners are Pete Ploszek as Leonardo, Jeremy Howard as Donatello and Noel Fisher as Michelangelo.
Also starring "Watchmen" actor Danny Woodburn as Master Splinter and Will Arnett in an unspecified role, the upcoming flick is penned by Josh Appelbaum, Andre Nemec, and Evan Daugherty.
Produced by Michael Bay, the Paramount film will open in theaters across the United States on June 6, 2014.

A clash of styles featuring an unorthodox Frenchwoman and a smooth powerful German will play out when Marion Bartoli and Sabine Lisicki bid to etch their names on to the Wimbledon honours board on Saturday.
Emerging unscathed from the chaos of a women's draw that scattered the favourites and opened the door for a new champion are two players who were 1,500-1 outsiders to contest the final two weeks ago.
Yet the unpredictability of either reaching the final at the outset is where any similarity between the two ends.
Lisicki, who has a near-permanent smile stretched across her face, has a gameplan that has become conventional on the nippy lawns of the All England Club - a hammerhead serve, backed up by walloping forehands.
Bartoli, however, is one of the most unorthodox players on the tour.
A whirl of perpetual motion, she leaps from foot to foot practising air shots and has an odd repertoire of mannerisms.
She is a bundle of nervous energy that frequently explodes through her double-fisted forehands and backhands.
While 23rd seed Lisicki has captured the hearts of the home fans, Bartoli is almost surly on court, in contrast to the cheery personality she displays when the action is done and dusted.
The pair have enjoyed contrasting routes to the final.
The German has had to wield the hatchet to arrive at this point, first dethroning favourite Serena Williams in the fourth round before upsetting last year's runner-up Agnieszka Radwanska in the last four.
The Frenchwoman's route has been smoother with the 15th seed avoiding any player ranked above her.
They both prepare for battle in very different ways.
Bartoli enjoys a power nap and slept for 20 minutes before she strode out to beat Kirsten Flipkens 6-1 6-2 in her semi-final.
Lisicki cranks up the volume on her ipod, with "Play Hard" by David Guetta her preferred choice of listening.
The match has been labelled a once in a lifetime opportunity for both to claim a grand slam title their respective rankings suggest should be beyond them.
That, however, would be over-estimating the strength of the women's game.
Beneath Williams, who won three of the last four slams, the WTA tour is a hotbed of inconsistency where any number of players could rise from obscurity to challenge the so-called big names.
Lisicki certainly has the tools to become a regular feature at the business end of Wimbledon and, at 23, has many years left in her.
For someone with an allergy to grass, she has a game that is perfectly suited to the surface. She has a 19-4 win-loss record at the All England Club compared with 16-15 at the other slams.
Nicknamed "Boom Boom Bina", the girl who overcame a career-threatening ankle injury in 2010 which forced her off the tour for five months, is the first German woman to reach a grand slam final since the great Steffi Graf at Wimbledon in 1999.
Having picked the brains of another of Germany's former Wimbledon heroes, three-time men's champion Boris Becker, she feels her time has come.
"It's been a great journey and it hasn't finished yet," she said.
"From the start of the tournament I had great matches and good challenges which prepared me for tomorrow.
"I think I'm really ready."
Bartoli is five years Lisicki's senior and is also seeking a first major title.
She came close in 2007, again fighting her way through to the Wimbledon final, but was beaten by Venus Williams and won only five games.
She is predicting a closer encounter this time around.
"First of all it will be a battle of nerves and who is able to come up with the best game on that day," she told a news conference on Friday.
"A final of a grand slam is always a matter of details. Maybe a point here, a point there will make the difference. Maybe someone who is a bit more gutsy than the other player, someone who is having a better day than the others."

By Margie Wuebker
Motorist in fatal crash charged with driving intoxicated
Nicholas Schwieterman, the 22-year-old Chickasaw man charged in connection with the deaths of four area men, appeared in Celina Municipal Court on Monday afternoon to face four counts of aggravated vehicular homicide and two counts of operating a vehicle while intoxicated.
Schwieterman was arrested on the second-degree felony charges in the wake of the early Saturday morning crash. Authorities filed the additional OVI charges prior to the initial appearance after test results indicated his blood-alcohol content registered 0.134. The legal limit in Ohio is 0.08.
Mercer County Sheriff Jeff Grey said investigators have received search warrants for the impounded cars and representatives of the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and Identification will be on hand this morning when evidence is collected from the cars.
The sheriff's office occasionally requests assistance from BCI & I evidence technicians depending on the seriousness of the case.
"I want to be able to have answers for the parents," he said. "And we don't want to overlook anything in our investigation."
Schwieterman appeared shaken and near tears when led into the small courtroom packed with family, friends and news media. He looked briefly toward his parents, Bob "Buster" and Linda Schwieterman, before taking a seat beside Dayton attorney Scott M. Calaway.
Calaway entered not guilty pleas on his client's behalf and made no request about lowering the $1 million bond set in the case, adding the matter would be brought up for discussion at a later date.
Judge James Scheer noted the case would be handled through Mercer County Common Pleas Court given the serious nature of the felony charges. Each count of aggravated vehicular homicide carries the possibility of up to eight years in prison and a $15,000 bond upon conviction. Additionally, Schwieterman faces an operator's license suspension ranging from three years to life.
When asked whether he had any questions, Schwieterman answered "No sir" in quiet fashion before being led from the courtroom to a waiting sheriff's cruiser.
Schwieterman, a Marion Local High School graduate who completed computer studies at Sinclair Community College in Dayton and works in Columbus, was driving westbound on Brockman Road when he reportedly failed to stop for a stop sign at the County Road 716A intersection just north of St. Sebastian.
His 1996 Pontiac Bonneville struck a northbound 1995 Pontiac Grand Prix driven by Jordan M. Moeller, 18, 8399 Brockman Road, Celina, who was killed in the crash. Also pronounced dead at the scene were his passengers: Jordan M. Diller, 19, 1553 state Route 716, Maria Stein; Jordan Goettemoeller, 19, 7766 Fort Recovery-Minster Road, Maria Stein; and Bradley Roeckner, 19, 8425 Brockman Road, Celina. All four were members of the Marion Local Class of 2007.
Kyle Schmitmeyer, 21, 7915 Clover Four Road, Celina, the lone passenger in Schwieterman's car, was present in the courtroom to support his friend. He faces a charge of obstructing justice with his initial appearance continued to March 28. The charge alleges he made false statements intended to mislead investigators at the accident scene and was uncooperative.
Several attended the court proceeding, including four young men wearing suits and ties. One member of the somber delegation said they were heading to funeral homes to express their condolences to the families of Goettemoeller and Roeckner.
"We wanted to be here for Nick," an unidentified man said before leaving the courtroom.
Scheer spoke of the tragedy and the loss of four young men saying, "This is a difficult situation for all involved. We live in a tight-knit community and it's difficult for all involved. Our thoughts go out to everyone, both sides, everywhere."
Calaway, who has been retained along with partner Mark Ross, said the grand jury will meet Thursday and is expected to return indictments. He added an initial appearance in Common Pleas Court will take place Friday with Judge Jeffrey Ingraham presiding.
"Given the emotions that are flying around here, we're going to go with a flat 'no comment' today," Calaway told The Daily Standard after the proceeding. "We will have a formal statement Friday."

I like the passive-agressive approach here: You can like what you like, but if you like what I don't like (and/or what measures by someone poorly), you don't know very much (and/or your hearing's rife with problems or broken).
I think it's rather simpler than this: Sometimes you like what you like, not because your ears are broken or inexperienced, but just because you like how it sounds.
de gustibus et coloribus non est disputandum
I don't need or seek concurrence. I just like what I like, and don't like what I don't. I occasionally review things, but always make strong the point that what I say is only one man's opinion. If you listen to a headphone I like and don't like it, I don't assume you're hearing's problematic or broken. And if you listen to a headphone I don't like and like it, I don't assume your hearing's problematic or broken. I'm sure some headphones I like a lot (or even love) aren't necessarily going to measure well; and, if and when they're measured, the measured outcome (good or bad) doesn't change what I'm hearing.
I will not assert that any posted user measurements of this or any other headphone are flawed or inaccurate. Conversely, I won't assert that they aren't. I've been to the facilities of at least a few different headphone manufacturers, and I've seen some very impressive capacities to measure and objectively assess. At least one company has measurement facilities that take into careful account isolation from ground vibration and movement, as well as isolation from radio and electromagnetic interference by placing measurement gear within a room that was essentially wired up as a giant Faraday cage. I've seen acoustic measurements of many types performed in anechoic chambers big and small. And through it all, I think every single acoustics engineer I've talked to recognizes the vagaries inherent in the different measurement rigs, setups, techniques (no matter how crude or fancy).
I will occasionally get pre-production units (of both headphones and electronics) with measurement sheets included (stuff that's from the lab, and not publicly published). One set of two headphone units (of the same model, one pre-production, the other closer to production) recently arrived with raw measurements printed on transparencies (so that the measurements could be easily compared). I've compared some of this type of data (of headphones in production) to publicly posted independent measurements of the same make/model, and most of the time they look quite different.
Ultimately, I remove the thing from the box, place 'em over my ears (or in 'em), and then listen. And it all comes down to that. I do admittedly find the posted headphone measurements (and the private ones I occasionally see) fascinating; but (in my opinion) any one set should be wielded as another data point (along with others' impressions and other measurements), not wielded as a weapon or a presumed final arbiter of what is flawed or perfect.
Woops, I forgot you liked these. My apologies, my post wasn't aimed at you though it may have read that way.
I can see that I came on a little strong and I edited my post to lessen the "if you like these you're an idiot" undercurrent. Which isn't what I meant. People look at these threads with such rosey colored glasses it's painful to watch sometimes. What's the point of contributing real, critical analysis when people just listen to what they want to hear? After pages of discussion establishing realistic pros and cons, a couple people say nothing more than I like them and suddenly we're back to "they must be wholly amazing!" square one.

The former Sheffield United full-back was sent off for two bookable offences in the defeat to Coventry on Saturday and will serve a one-match ban.
Veteran central defender Darren Moore will have a late fitness test on a toe injury which kept him out of the clash with the Sky Blues.
If Moore fails his fitness test, youngster Luke Potter is expected to get the nod.
New signing Emil Hallfredson has not yet received international clearance and the Tykes have been left in the dark as to when he will be granted permission to make his debut.
Iain Hume returned to action as a second-half substitute against Coventry for the first time since recovering from a fractured skull but boss Simon Davey revealed the striker is not fit enough to start.
Midfielder Hugo Colace remains sidelined with a calf injury.
Kozluk suspended for Preston visit

Genre: Science Fiction, Crime Drama
Premise: In this futuristic cop show, the Newcomers are aliens from the planet Tencton whose spaceship, a slave ship, crash-landed in the Mojave Desert in the early '90s. Now 1995 (the near future, as the show aired 1989-90), the plot of the series revolves around Newcomer George Francisco and his partner Matt Sikes, who are both detectives for the LAPD. They clash on several levels, the least of which is not Matt's propensity for rash decisions and violence vs. George's quiet, introspective analysis.

What does the Student Government Union do? The Student Government acts as the voice of the student body, presenting suggestions and concerns to Administration. We sponsor fun activities for the student body, as well as events like leadership conferences and community service day.
How can I get involved in Student Government? The best way to get involved is Student Government is to begin attending meetings. Also, you may want to join a student organization and become their President's Council representative. Elections for executive board positions are held in the spring and senate elections are held in the fall.
When are Student Government Senate and President's Council meetings? SGU Senate meetings are held every Wednesday at 6:15pm in TECO Hall or another classroom location. Please contact the SGU office for exact meeting locations.
If I am not a Senator or President's Council representative, can I still attend meetings? Yes, any Saint Leo University student may attend the Senate Meetings. Your involvement is encouraged!
Where is the Student Government Union office located? The SGU Office is located in the Student Activities Building, office #108.
How can my organization get an allocation for our event/conference? Your organization can pick up allocation request forms at the Student Government Office. Fill out these forms completely providing as much information as possible and submit the forms and any extra documentation to the SGU VP of Finance. The request will be presented at the next Appropriations Board meeting and you will be promptly notified of the committee's decision.
What does SGU use my Student Activities fee for? The student activity fees are used to provide resources and sponsor events for the Saint Leo University student body. The majority of the fees are used to sponsor activities such as amusement park trips, comedians, musicals, or hypnotists. Funds are also used to produce our own Yearbook, The Golden Legend and the bi-annual leadership conference. A very small portion goes to administrative costs.
Where can I submit my comments/suggestions for Student Government? We would love to hear any of your feedback. Please stop by the Student Government office at any time and we will try to assist you as best we can.
What types of events or activities does Student Government host? Through our Campus Activities Board, we are able to bring a wide variety of events to the student body. While some events like hypnotists, game shows, and laser tag are brought on campus, other trips are sponsored off campus. These events range from trips to Disney World, Medieval Times, or Musicals.
I have a friend from out of town that wants to come along on an SGU activity....will it be okay if I bring him/her? Unfortunately, if your friend is not a Saint Leo University student he/she is ineligible to receive tickets from the Student Government. Only students who pay the Activities fee may receive them.

Sun-Ripened Raspberry (Type): This is a basic raspberry with a "ripe" note to it - like a berry that is just ready to fall off the vine into your hand. This FO moves quick in CP soap, so be prepared to dash for the soap mold when traced.

I love this fragrance oil! I am a new soap maker and used this fragrance oil along with the BB Champagne fragrance oil for my first creative foray into playing with scents. I called it my Raspberry Champagne soap and everyone loved it!
This was the first fragrance I soaped with. I was disappointed after reading the description: this doesn't smell like a fresh raspberry. That being said, it is a decent fragrance. It smells pleasant, and there is a very faint, but distinct 'ripening' note to it. I wouldn't buy this again, but it's far from 'bad.'
Reply from Bramble Berry Hi Angela! I'm sorry this fragrance wasn't your favorite. If you're looking for fruity scents, you may like Cranberry Fig Fragrance Oil, Cucumber and Kiwi Fragrance Oil, or Pearberry Fragrance Oil.
I just unmolded my soap and this fragrance is almost nonexistent. I used the entire 2 oz. bottle along with .2 oz of Almond fragrance oil in a 3 lb recipe, and there's no fragrance. It's a very light scent to begin with, but I thought the almond would provide an anchor. I don't even get any almond (which is unusual because almond often takes over). I will not buy this again.
Reply from Bramble Berry Hi Cheryl! I'm sorry that this scent wasn't your favorite. We've found that this product sticks well in cold process soap. I'll be emailing you personally to help resolve this issue!
It is a very peculiar fragrance. It is more of a candied raspberry and most definitely on the sweeter side. Even because it reminded me a lot of the "tutti fruity" fragrance that comes with the soapy love kits! So much that...to enhance it's smell on my batch I had to add some of that to it. After soaping with it...it has developed a almost "green tea" like scent on the cut bars. I am very curious to see what happens after it cures.
Reply from Bramble Berry Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to let us know how this fragrance worked for you. In our tests, we found this fragrance resulted in a sweet raspberry scent, so I would recommend giving it more time for the scent to develop. The blend of this fragrance and Tutti Frutti Fragrance Oil sounds great!
wanted to eat a raspberry until I smelled this fragrance oil - absolutely delicious smelling. I never even liked raspberries. I got the Summer Fragrance Sampler kit for the Summer Fling, Relaxing and Tropical Vacation fragrance oils, I wanted to smell them but not commit to 2oz bottles of each. The first bottle I opened in the kit was Sun Ripened Raspberry and - OMG! My mouth literally started to water. I actually started craving raspberries. I used the honey soap base, mixed this fragrance oil with pink mica in my cameo mold. On very top of the cameo I dusted the necklace and the bottom with just a little bit of gold mica (very sparingly). Absolutely beautiful, smelled delicious, and not drying. I only made 2 bars and they went instantly. I have to make more and get a real bottle of this! Smells like fruit right off the vine delicious.


text: Change the Shape of This Lamp With the Pull of a StringKif Leswing5/04/12 8:40pmFiled to: beautifulDesignLighting7EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkOverhead lighting is possibly the least flexible way to illuminate a room. Flip a switch, the bulb goes on, and light shines down. End of story. It you want to switch up the lighting for, say, a little more mood, you're out of luck. Unless you've chosen the impossibly clever Greta pendant lamp, which can throw light onto your ceiling with the pull of a drawstring.AdvertisementDesigned by Whatswhat, a trio of young designers who met at school, Greta began as a class project but is now a fully-realized piece which can add some personality to your living room. The 22-inch tall lamp comes in six colors and is priced like the attractive centerpiece it is. But some will find it worth it for the ability to see a room in a new light by pulling a string.

WHETHER PART-TIME AND LOOKING FOR AND AVAILABLE TO WORK MORE HOURS This data item details whether someone who is working part-time is actively looking for more hours in their current job, looking for a second job, or looking for another job that has more hours. It also provides information on whether they would be available to start working more hours during the reference week or in the next 4 weeks. People working part-time but not actively looking for more hours are also asked if they would prefer to work more hours, or are happy to continue working less than 35 hours a week. Only those who were available to start within the next 4 weeks and had actively looked for, or preferred to work, more hours were considered to be underemployed (see Underemployment status [UNDREMPC]). This data item is only measured in the 'quarterly' labour force survey months: February, May, August and November (the second month of each financial year quarter).

Allegheny County Controller Chelsa Wagner announced today that she plans to conduct an audit of the contract between the county and Corizon Health Inc., which was hired last year to run the infirmary at the Allegheny County Jail.
Earlier this month, Ms. Wagner sent a letter to the CEO of Tennessee-based Corizon, saying she had "grave and serious concerns" about health care and working conditions at the jail.
In a statement from her office today, she said she remains concerned.
"I remain gravely concerned by the credible reports our office has received regarding substandard care at the jail," she said in a statement. "I've raised these concerns publicly, including at the Jail Advisory Board and in writing to Corizon. Yet, the responses to my questions have likewise been substandard and certainly not what I would expect from an entity that receives more than $11 million in taxpayer money annually."
Corizon, which is a national prison health care provider, signed a contract with the county last summer that pays $11.5 million for the first year. Its management of health services at the jail began Sept. 1.
The audit will cover the period from Sept. 1 through today.
"We have received the letter indicating the Controller wants to conduct an audit," said Corizon spokeswoman Susan Morgenstern. ."It's important to note that we are working in close partnership with the county and jail leadership to fulfill our mission. Our focus remains on supporting our staff who provide quality care to patients in the jail every day."
Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald said his office welcome's the audit.
"We welcome audits of any department that result in recommendations that add value, are measurable and improve our county operations," county spokeswoman Amie Downs said in a statement. "This contract just was entered into in September of 2013, so it may be difficult to measure its compliance with such a short window being available for review, but we look forward to the results."

The Tram
The Tram, which is included in your All-Garden pass, is not just a great way to get around the Garden's 250 acres—It's also a narrated tour that offers an overview of the Garden, its history, and its programs. Hop off and explore at any of the nine stops.
The Tram is wheelchair accessible. Each tram can accommodate one wheelchair. Every effort will be made to accommodate groups of wheelchair users.
Large-print transcripts of the Tram Tour are available from the Tram Attendant.
Trams are equipped with a T-coil compatible induction loop. Headsets are available at the Visitor Center.
A tram tour is also a great way to accommodate a group where many of the members cannot do a lot of walking. Although your Garden visit will entail some walking, a tram tour would provide your guests with an overview of the Garden's 250 acres.
The tram can hold a maximum of 48 passengers. However, if wheelchairs or walkers need to be transported, this number will decrease.
See all the Tram stops on the Garden map.

The Next Page: Louisa Catherine, the other Mrs. Adams
June 1, 2014 12:00 AMAbout 30 years ago Margery M. Heffron stood before a portrait of Louisa Catherine Adams, the wife of President John Quincy Adams and a remarkable force in her own right.
"Her level, appraising glance challenged me to pay her respect," Heffron recalled in the introduction to "Louisa Catherine: The Other Mrs. Adams," published in April by Yale University Press. "What was it about this fiercely independent spirit, whose place in American history has, until now, gone largely unrecognized, that enabled her eventually to win the outpouring of esteem and affection that crowned her long public and private life in her adopted country? This book is my answer to that challenge."
Heffron pursued her book with meticulousness, passion and the support of Boston Biographers Group, which she helped found. When she died in 2011, two years after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, the book remained unfinished.
At that point, it was four or five years in the making. Her brother, David L. Michelmore, the book's editor and a former Pittsburgh Post-Gazette assistant managing editor, credited a "small army of friends, family and fellow writers" with completing the manuscript and getting it published.
The book ends with Adams' inauguration in 1825. That is 27 years before Louisa Catherine's death but, Mr. Michelmore said, it is also as far as his sister had been able to advance the project.
Years after she was inspired by Louisa Catherine's likeness at the Adams homestead in Massachusetts, Heffron has won warm reviews for her own portrait of a European-born first lady who mastered the nation's political and social landscapes while battling self-esteem issues. Here are excerpts from "Louisa Catherine."
• • • • •
From the Introduction
At her core, she was a feminist before the term achieved currency. Throughout her life, her writings and journal entries focused on the role of women in society and within marriage. She claimed she wrote the gripping narrative of her heroic, 40-day journey in the dead of the winter of 1815 from Russia to France -- following the path of Napoleon's bloody retreat, accompanied only by her terrified 7-year-old son, a hysterical lady's maid, and two rascally servants -- to prove that "many undertakings which appear very difficult and arduous to my sex, are by no means so trying as imagination forever depicts them." In the early Victorian era in which she lived, such assertive views on the role of women were becoming unfashionable and unwelcome.
Louisa also anticipated -- by several years -- a number of causes that, as the 19th century progressed, would have critical social and political implications. She admired and corresponded with the feminist and abolitionist sisters Angelina and Sarah Grimké and assisted them in gathering material for a book about the politics of emancipation. She also understood and championed the rights of Native Americans: "The splendour of this country originated in the persecution and extermination of a large portion of the aboriginal owners of this country: and now see them rising in their strength, and struggling to maintain themselves upon the last remnants of their mighty possessions still unjustly coveted," she wrote in 1841.
Louisa's assets as the wife of a senator, ambassador, secretary of state and president were exceptional. Her fluent French -- an indispensable asset in diplomatic circles of the time -- made her unique among early first ladies. Very few women in Washington, or in the country as a whole, rivaled her combination of wide reading, accomplished writing and talent as a musician. None brought to the White House her keen understanding of diplomacy nourished by long experience in the royal courts of Prussia, Russia and Britain. She understood precisely how state business was routinely conducted at formal receptions and how the placement of a dinner guest could have international repercussions.
From 'A Fine Romance'
Louisa did not apprehend how extremely sensitive her fiancé was to the slightest remark about his grooming or attire. His mother had berated him from an early age for his "slovenly" habits and dress. When his aunt reported to her sister that the fledgling Boston lawyer "had not a pair of stockings or drawers fit to put on," Abigail had not hesitated to let him know he was disgracing the entire family by his failure to keep up appearances.
Never suspecting she was walking into a hornet's nest, Louisa dressed herself "very becomingly" and the party "drove off in high spirits expecting a delightful evening." To her delight, John Quincy, as instructed, "was very handsomely dressed in blue," with "a large napoleon hat" and "altogether looked remarkably well." When the group separated to stroll in couples around the rotunda, Louisa happily took John Quincy's arm and complimented him on his appearance. That was the last straw: "He immediately took fire and assured me that his wife must never take the liberty of interfering in those particulars, and assumed a tone so high and lofty and made so serious a grievance of the affair, that I felt offended and told him that I resign'd all pretensions to his hand, and left him as free as air to choose a lady who would be more discreet. I then dropped his arm and joined my mother with whom I staid the remainder of the evening."
From 'The Journey of a Lifetime'
Back on the road, she had traveled only a mile and a half when she began to hear women's voices shouting vicious obscenities. The carriage had become entangled with a mob of camp followers who had attached themselves to a troop of the Imperial Guard on its way to join Napoleon. In the cacophony of the women's curses, Louisa could make out specific threats: "Tear them out of the carriage" and "They are Russians" and "Take them out and kill them." As the cries grew louder, a party of soldiers seized the reins from her coachmen and turned their guns against them. Terrified, but keeping her head, Louisa removed her passports from safekeeping. When a general officer rode up beside the carriage, she calmly presented to him her official papers and affidavits. He called out to the unruly soldiers that the woman inside the carriage was not Russian but an American lady on her way to meet her husband in Paris. The troops then shouted "Vive les Américains" and made it clear they wanted to hear "Vive Napoleon!" in return. In the perfectly idiomatic French she learned in Nantes when she was 3 years old, Louisa complied, leaning out of the carriage and waving her handkerchief for good measure.
From 'Campaign'
In the fall of 1820, the Adamses moved out of their rented house at 4½ and C Streets and into a spacious, brick townhouse that John Quincy had purchased at 1333 F St., within two blocks of the President's House. Louisa complained that the decision to buy the new house had been made over her objections -- "I always detested [the house] as it has in my eyes no one recommendation" -- and was annoyed that John Quincy claimed he had bought it to please her. The house, previously lived in by James and Dolley Madison and adapted by Dolley to accommodate her many social events, had fallen into disrepair after the Madisons moved into the President's House in 1809. Louisa wrote to her father-in-law that on visiting the property with a carpenter in June to "give orders as to what alterations and repairs" were to be made, she found the house in "miserable condition." On reporting the same situation to her husband and listing the improvements she thought necessary, they had, she remarked sardonically, "entered, of course, into no agreement."
Planning and superintending the work that needed to be done on the property was left entirely to Louisa. John Quincy's mind may have been on weightier matters when she informed him that she envisioned major renovations, but she forged ahead anyway. It came as something of a shock when he discovered what she was about: "On going to my office as I passed by the house I have purchased in F Street, I was surprised to find workmen employed in pulling down the wooden shed adjoining it. Mrs. Adams has made a contract with mason named Van Cable to build an addition to the house, a measure I have acquiesced inasmuch I have not expressly prevented it. I have been entangled in this and other expense almost unawares."

chilled tofu
- Serves: 4
- Calories: 68 kcal
- Total Time: 5 m
- Japanese: Hiya-yakko
- metric
- u.s.
step 1:
Wash the tofu block lightly.
step 2:
Cut the tofu block in half lengthwise.
step 3:
Then cut each half across 3 times.
step 4:
Finally, place the knife half way down the side of the block and slice across to form 16 bite-size pieces. Serve the tofu in a dish.
step 5:
Chop the leek into thin pieces.
step 6:
Grate the ginger.
step 7:
This can be served in two ways. Either sprinkle the tofu with the chopped leek and grated ginger and pour soy sauce over it. Or, serve the chopped leek, grated ginger and soy sauce in a separate small dish. Dip the tofu into the dipping sauce as you eat it.
Chilled tofu is low in calories and is a delicious dish, and what is more, the recipe is very easy. On a hot day, this dish is very refreshing.
This dish has a long history. In 1782, the author of a book which included 100 tofu recipes said that because Chilled Tofu is so well-known, it is not necessary to explain it in great detail.

| Paradise Catering Celebrates National Salad Day Wednesday, July 25th!Paradise Catering in Carmel Valley announced today that in honor of National Salad Day, Wednesday, July 25th, Paradise Catering has created a challenge on writing a poem on lettuce.
Paradise Catering Celebrates National Salad Day Wednesday, July 25th! CARMEL VALLEY, CA — For the last quarter century Paradise Catering has created memorable culinary experiences using the finest fresh ingredients available. Co-owners Jon Kasky and Nancy Rohan set a high standard in the catering world, growing most of the produce they use on their 1-acre farm in Carmel Valley Village. In honor of National Salad Day, Wednesday, July 25th, Paradise Catering has created a challenge on writing a poem on lettuce. Share a poem on http://www.facebook.com/#!/ Here is a sample poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar A Salad to Eat Different hues... Some not as bright but invites, Those who come to eat eagerly With an assorted presentation That might satisfy an appetite. With tomatoes and carrots, Sliced apples and grapes... Romaine lettuce sprinkled with chives Topped with olive oil and vinegar, Is a treat to see on a plate to delight... And surprise. Onions and green peppers, Can please the eye with sensation. When someone announces... 'I prefer a salad to eat! ' And they do without a moment's hesitation! Try one of Nancy's favorite recipes: • Whole Butter Leaf Lettuce (do not tear lettuce) • Place whole leafs on plate like a mosaic • Add Goat Cheese Crumbles, Toasted Hazelnuts and Fresh Blackberries • Lite Honey of Thyme dressing Background on Paradise Catering: On the Paradise Catering farm in Carmel Valley, Jon and Nancy embrace the seasons and grow unusual and heirloom vegetables, including: - Tomatoes, squash, peppers and beans (from seeds purchased in their travels) - Various lettuces grown to color - Herbs including Absynthe - Greens and garnishes ettavers to decorate their presentations - 100 Zinfandel vines, to make their own wine - 10 varieties of citrus trees (have you ever seen a Buddha's hand?) Their farm also houses a few fanciful touches, including unusual succulents (Monsters and Crests), giant Staghorn ferns, the infamous "Pink Apples" recovered from Earthbound Farm, working greenhouses, and an adult tree house. Jon and Nancy love to buy rare seeds wherever they travel, growing them in their greenhouses to bring rare specialties to their clients. For example, Jon found Orchidea Cicoria (orchid-colored radicchio) during a trip to Umbria, Italy, in 2009. Also, heirloom tomatoes are an ongoing passion: They always participated in the Carmel TomatoFest and love to seek out unusual tomatoes not found in markets. This years, "Indigo Rose" has blue foliage! The kitchen at Paradise Catering generates a lot of compost, which it uses to enhance the farm's soil. "If you think about it, that's a huge plus. It means that we peel and process tons of vegetables and fruits," said Jon. "We believe this says loads about our focus on serving fresh, unprocessed foods, as well as our commitment to minimizing our footprint." Over the span of their careers, Jon and Nancy have cooked intimate dinners for two or at large festivals for 2,000 people. "At Paradise Catering we know the value of good food and its importance in your event," said Nancy. "We can cater your event in any type of venue, from indoor to outdoor; and in any style, from plated to buffet to family style." At Paradise Catering, there are no set menus. Instead, Jon and Nancy meet personally with each client to plan a unique menu for any event. For more information about Paradise Catering, go to www.paradisecater.com or call 831-659-3417.

"Don't Let It Go To Your Head" is one of my favorite records on the whole album. I think it's a good look to give it a little "throw back" love. After the jump you can see the video.

Yes, this is BimmerBoost.com and we have all become a bit obsessed with forced induction and big power numbers. Sometimes we forget just how quick the naturally aspirated high revving M cars were. Here is a great example of all motor capability with an owner taking his bolt on E60 M5 to the drag strip and managing a very impressive firstname.lastname@example.com 1/4 mile run. That is with a 1.790 60 foot on the notoriously difficult to launch SMG III transmission (ESS SMG software helps) not a new fancy dual clutch. Oh, and also with 1700+ density altitude so it is not the weather skewing the result here.
This is a 5.0 liter V10 with natural aspiration. No turbos, no boost, in a not exactly lightweight luxury sedan. The S85 is capable of going door to door and even edging out the new F10 M5. The advantage for the new M5 being that adding power is as simple as getting a tune and raising boost thanks for the turbos.
Whatever side you stand on regarding the naturally aspirated versus turbocharged M motor debate there is no denying BMW built some incredibly impressive past M motors. A 5.0 liter V10 revving over 8000 rpm in a four door sedan? The only other place to get a comparable motor would be from Lamborghini and fitting four of your friends in to go for a ride in a Gallardo does not exactly sound comfortable.

Anyone adding a turbo to the S85 ? That would be sick great (once you redesign the whole front of the M5)
Doing it in that engine bay is going to be tough and I don't know anybody working on it.

I've only posted a few times here, but I've been lurking the boards for quite a while But this thread caught my attention, so I figured I could share my thoughts: I've read quite a few of Langan's technical articles, and have spent the last several months doing a whole lot of study and research into his theories and their mathematical and philosophical foundations. I can definitely attest to the fact that he shows incredible insight into many of the most plaguing problems in philosophy and mathematics. He definitely seems to be pretentious guy though; So I'm not standing up for him in that respect. But I feel obligated to share my perspective and help give Langan the credit he deserves. The guy really is cool. As for his views on Intelligent Design, I would urge anyone who's argued against Langan's views here to read his articles on ID where he specifically qualifies his position and makes clear exactly what he thinks about it. He is definitely not a typical ID'er. His ideas on ID are very sophisticated and carefully refined in my opinion (and this is coming from me, a former Christian-theist-and-ID'er-turned-atheist/agnostic). Good post. I am very monetarily biased. | |||

Almost as if, rather than determining intelligence through the abstract puzzles they use, the tests determine preference for and focus on abstract puzzles over practical matters or social interaction. Hmm... but that couldn't be, could it? | |||

Does that sound like somebody who makes good choices? There's a fine line between the power of rationality, and the power of rationalization. One aids, one hinders. One is intelligence, one is a self-indulgent love of artificial consistency. To solve puzzles, one only needs the power to find consistency. To solve problems, one needs the power to find truth. I hereby move that the Intelligence Quotient be renamed the Abstraction Quotient. There are too god damned many high-IQ failures at life for what they have to deserve to be called "intelligence."

His ideas on how the world should be run are not new, and in many respects it's how the world is currently run. There is a popular belief among western intelligentsia and policy planners that the average man is an idiot who, once given proper democratic control over his own life, would destroy himself and his society as well. "...the common interests very largely elude public opinion [...] and can be managed only by a specialized class" --Walter Lippmann, 1921. This view, I think, is ridiculous and is merely a rationalization of power protecting itself. While it is true that your average man won't be tinkering around with unification theory, its also true that the vast majority of the world's most dangerous problems can be solved without any special technical thought. What are the current threats to the species? Were that the US had a functioning democracy, the "dunce" filled masses would've voted to be part of the Kyoto Protocol, which would help to mitigate global warming. They'd also have voted to dismantle much of the Pentagon system, as well as most of the US' massive nuclear arsenal, which would reduce the threat of global nuclear war significantly, and would make blatant militarism much less common-- while we may've still invaded Iraq, we'd also have left after the Iraqis had elected their new government. The US masses would overwhelmingly believe we should work within the confines of international law, which would further limit US militarism and would probably have prevented the invasion of Iraq altogether. Etc etc. To whatever extent pollution is a third threat to the species, by and large the most threatening pollution is created through industrial waste. Given the opportunity to vote on environmental regulations, the common man would, without a doubt, severely hamper industry's ability to pollute without consequence. If not banning the pollution outright, they would ask industry to shoulder the responsibility (and cost) for cleanup in the very least, which would have much the same effect as an outright ban. The average person won't perform a research project to discover that the ozone layer is failing or pursue the causes, that's true, but once told the causes and the potential fallout, they will gladly work to correct the problem, if given the opportunity. Democracy can handle the problem, we just need more of it. | |||

Oh, and whose job is it to inform everyone about the causes, fallout, likelihood, etc.? Because there's probably at least a hundred million people who would like to give you their unique opinion and 1) we don't know who is correct 2) being correct isn't enough to convince people. Not to mention you've just created a hierarchy by relying on intellectuals to supply data (that will surely be manipulated) for the masses, thus destroying your perfect democracy where everyone is equal. There's a lot of problems with politics in the US, but the representative republic format is the least of them. | |||

Cate McClure was raised in a large family. She had three biological brothers and sisters, and four others who were adopted or were foster brothers and sisters.
Growing up, she learned that every child deserves a chance to grow up in a healthy family, and she was inspired to help give children that chance.
McClure and her husband, Tim, decided to be foster parents for children in Routt County. The McClures also manage the Iron Horse Inn and have two daughters of their own, ages 14 and 17.
Since coming to Steamboat Springs last spring, they've had two boys stay for a short-term emergency situation and one boy who has lived with them for about three months.
"It was great. He's a good kid, he's got a great heart, he wants to help all the time," McClure said about the boy.
"All of these kids, no matter what they've been through, the one thing they're looking for is someone to care about them for who they are, not to judge them and say, 'Well, you're never going to change, you're never going to make it in the world.' And that's what they've been told all their lives," McClure said.
On Monday night, Routt County families who give foster children that care and encouragement were honored during a foster family appreciation night sponsored by county officials.
The celebration took place at the Iron Horse Inn and honored nine families with donated dinner-for-two certificates.
"(Foster families) are important because they provide a service that they don't get very much compensation for," said Pat Chase, the foster care coordinator for Routt County. "They provide a home for children (who) otherwise wouldn't have one. They open their homes and their hearts to these kids."
Foster families take in children of all ages who need a place to stay for a few days, weeks or months. When a child is suffering from physical or sexual abuse or from neglect, county workers consider the situation and decide if the child can stay with his or her birth family.
Depending on circumstances, county workers may move the child to a foster family, and later return the child to his or her birth family or to a new adoptive family.
Routt County has four children in foster families now and is looking for another family to take in a 13-year-old boy. Last year, two children were adopted.
There is a need for families who are willing to work with challenging teenagers and older children, Chase said.
Becoming a foster family is a long process and involves a home study, a criminal background check and multiple training classes. But even with the work, it can be a rewarding experience, Chase said. Children often stay in touch with their foster families after returning home.
For any families who decide to take in foster children, Tim McClure has some advice: Give those children unconditional love. That doesn't mean love them and never discipline them, he said, but it does mean love them and don't judge them, he said.
"Most kids are there (because they) were taken away from parents. Unconditional love is usually something they don't have a clue about," Tim McClure said. "As much as you can, give unconditional love."
Anyone interested in becoming a foster family may call Routt County Human Services at 879-1540.

text: As a form of protest, a group of prostitutes in El Alto, Bolivia have sewn their lips together...uh,Tracie Egan Morrissey10/25/07 1:45pmFiled to: lip serviceProstitutes17EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkAs a form of protest, a group of prostitutes in El Alto, Bolivia have sewn their lips together...uh, the ones on their faces, that is. It's a (very dramatic) part of the hunger strike they organized in order to convince the mayor to reopen the legalized brothels and bars in the town's red light district, after he had them shut down due to violent protests from other city residents opposed to such businesses. Lily Cortez, leader of the El Alto Association of Nighttime Workers told the press, "We are fighting for the right to work and for our families' survival. Tomorrow we will bury ourselves alive if we are not immediately heard. The mayor will have his conscience to answer to if there are any grave consequences." We're wondering if that pun was intended, or if the translator just had a lot of fun with this. [Yahoo via Guanabee]Reply17 repliesLeave a reply


text: Watch how this robotic-like T7 virus infects a cellGeorge Dvorsky1/11/13 5:00pmFiled to: GeneticsVirusesvirologyinfectionsScienceScitweet111EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink If there was any doubt that viruses are basically microscopic machines, let this recreation of a T7 bacteriophage infecting an ecoli cell put those reservations to rest. In this animated video, the virus can be seen unfolding its six phage tail fibers as it latches on to an unsuspecting bacterium. Once stable and secure, it pierces the surface of the cell with its extended tail and injects its DNA directly into the cytoplasm. Following this genetic violation, the tail disassembles, allowing the cell's membrane to reseal. Mission accomplished. Advertisement This video comes courtesy of biologist Bo Hu, Ian Molineux, and their colleagues at the University of Texas at Austin and the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston. Their latest paper shows the various ways in which the T7 phage remodels itself as it works to infect a cell. They made this discovery by using a combination of genetics and cryo-electron tomography to image the infection process. Similar in process to a CT scan, cryo-electron tomography allows researchers to study objects with a diameter a thousandth the thickness of a human hair. Advertisement Their research, which was published in the journal Science, has dramatically changed our understanding of how a virus physically changes as it infects a cell.For example, previous to this study, researchers didn't know that a bacteriophage's legs were bound to the virus head prior to coming into contact with the cell. As the model now shows, the legs are individually deployed as feelers, helping the virus to discover a suitable victim and then latch on.In addition, the researchers have now confirmed that phages "walk" over a cell surface as it works to stabilize and properly align itself in preparation for the next phase, namely ejection of its DNA into the host. Sponsored Interestingly, this is the first time that scientists have captured an actual image showing a virus's tail extending directly into a cell.You can read the entire study at Science.
