It hasn\'t been released. And probably won\'t be for several months. But the so-called iPhone 6 is already one of the most-anticipated tech products slated to hit the market this year.
In the view of ISI Group analyst Brian Marshall, the iPhone 6 is likely to be \"the mother lode of all upgrade cycles,\" when it finally is unveiled. And what is expected to make the next iPhone model stand out is the size of its screen
Marshall, who has strong buy rating and $600-a-share price target on Apple\'s stock, said in a research note that even with all of the iPhone\'s success, and with a worldwide installed base of around 260 million users, "large-screen envy is prevalent among the iPhone installed base,\" and he believes Apple will launch two new iPhones this summer, one with a 4.7-inch display and one with a screen that measures 5.5 inches diagonally, he said.
Marshall estimated that an iPhone with a 5-inch screen \"would spark a massive upgrade cycle\" and even bring back many of those he called \"Android switchers\" — people who\'d quit the iPhone in favor of Android-based phones with larger screens. The upgrade cycle brought on by the iPhone 6 could be strong enough that, according to Marshall, Apple could see as much as 12% to 14% of its installed based upgrading in the second half of the year, when the device finally makes its debut.

Everything begins somewhere, and the Warriors hope their most successful season since their only west coast championship begins tonight. If you're looking for evidence of the changing power balance in the NBA, this match-up is a good place to start. The Lakers are no longer the unbeatable juggernaut they once were, seamlessly transitioning from one superstar dynasty to the next. And the Warriors are no longer a doormat or a punchline, but a deep, well-rounded team waiting to discover just how good they can be. The old refrain holds true — it's only preseason — but I expect we'll see a Warriors team anxious to announce its arrival.
I'm looking forward to getting back to breaking down games. For this one, I'll be a day late, so I wanted to get the discussion rolling. High expectations are a new phenomenon for Warriors fans. They'll be judged — whether fair or not — from the opening tip. As always, drop your thoughts below.

"The Iceman Cometh" is not going to Broadway, at least not during the upcoming season, the Goodman Theatre concluded Friday.
According to Roche Schulfer, the theater's executive director, various factors conspired against the much-discussed potential transfer, including the length of the show, the complexity and cost of its multiple sets (the last Broadway revival used only one set), the lack of availability of a sufficiently large Broadway theater this fall for a sufficient number of weeks, and other issues.
Producer Scott Rudin holds the Broadway rights but had declined to pursue the show himself and had been talking to other interested producers. On Friday, Rudin said he did not know of any movement on the show in terms of Broadway.
Further complicating the picture was Nathan Lane being offered a role on television's "The Good Wife" (interestingly, a show set in Chicago).
With no Broadway in the offing, Schulfer focused on the positives of the critically acclaimed Chicago production, which he said played to 100 percent capacity and some 42,000 people at the Goodman, many of whom flew in from other states and other countries. As Schulfer sees it, the production could be viewed as further evidence that such huge projects no longer need a New York imprimatur. "You could see this one," he said, "only in Chicago."
Still, Broadway is Broadway and hope springs eternal. The Goodman is keeping the sets.

Hugh Greene, Oscar Munoz, Kevin Twomey
Chair Taylor documented a quorum and called the plenary session to order.
Chair Taylor commented on the upcoming trip being made by trustees and the administration to three peer aspirant institutions, noting that it should be a worthwhile trip. He encouraged trustees to make plans to attend a similar trip being planned for the following year.
President Delaney provided highlights on the Legislative session and stated that Vice President Owen would be delivering a broader report later in the meeting.
Chair Taylor offered the opportunity for open comments. There were no comments from the public.
Chair Taylor presented the consent agenda to trustees, noting that it included minutes from the January 18, 2011 meeting; update to the multi-year university work plan; Florida Educational Equity Act report; request to offer a new degree program – Bachelor of Arts in Religious Studies; tenure by reason of appointment – Dr. Mark Tumeo, newly appointed dean of the College of Computing, Engineering and Construction; tenure by reason of appointment – Dr. Don Resio, director of the Taylor Engineering Research Institute and professor of ocean engineering; approval of the red flag policy; and use of amplified sound in university facilities: outdoor areas, demonstrations and other outdoor events.
Chair Taylor stated that he had asked to pull Item5Bi: Update to the Multi-Year University Work Plan from the consent agenda for further discussion by the full Board. Chair Taylor then asked for a MOTION for approval of the consent agenda, with one modification – Item 5Bi: Update to the Multi-Year University Work Plan was pulled for further discussion by the full Board. The MOTION was offered by Trustee Newton and seconded by Trustee Gonzalez. The consent agenda was approved with the modification.
Chair Taylor asked President Delaney to discuss this item.
President Delaney stated that the deadline for the work plan was May 26, 2011. He clarified that the Board of Governors had not sent all of the data so the administration was asking that the Board approve anticipated updates and revisions that would be included in the 2011-2012 revision to the work plan. President Delaney noted that the full report would be presented to the full Board at the June 21 meeting.
Chair Taylor asked for a MOTION for approval of the anticipated updates and revisions to the multi-year university work plan. A MOTION was offered by Trustee Korman and seconded by Trustee Newton. The MOTION was unanimously carried.

President Delaney stated that Trustee Byll-Cataria had voted against this tuition increase at committee, clarifying that Trustee Byll-Cataria felt it was hard to explain a tuition increase to students with nothing new on campus.
Trustees asked that the administration take steps to justify this increase to students by communicating that the quality of their education required some monetary independence from the state; thus, the need for the tuition increase. The administration agreed to take these steps.
Chair Taylor asked for a MOTION for approval of the tuition and the tuition differential fee for undergraduate students. A MOTION was made by Trustee Crawford and seconded by Trustee Hicks. The MOTION carried with one vote in opposition.
There were no reports from this committee.

He stated that these reports were presented to the Board as a whole and offered trustees the opportunity for ask for further discussion. There were no requests.
Chair Taylor asked Vice President Serwatka to introduce the new director of MOCA Jacksonville.
Vice President Serwatka introduced Dr. Marcelle Polednik as the new director of MOCA, mentioning that she was well known for her success as chief curator at the Monterey Museum of Art. Dr. Polednik stated that she was honored to serve as the head of MOCA. She noted that UNF was a great conduit for the growth of MOCA. Her goals for MOCA revolved around strength and self-sustainability. Dr. Polednik listed some of her goals as raising exhibitions and programs to a new level, financial stability, and to achieve accreditation from the American Association of Museums.
Vice President Shuman presented an update on MOCA financials, noting that the university might need to extend a line of credit to provide additional cash flow.

Chair Taylor asked President Delaney to speak about this item.
President Delaney provided brief highlights and asked Vice President Owen to elaborate.

Pete Byrne brings his unique perspective and a passion for sports to viewers every night, as WSBT 22's sports director.
More than a decade of sport journalism experience has taken Pete to the Super Bowl, MLB opening day, playoffs in all four major sports, the PGA Tour, the Frozen Four, the Final Four, and the college football national championship. However, the best part of covering sports for WSBT 22 is being home and following the teams he really loves.
Pete grew up in South Bend and went to high school at Trinity where he played basketball, baseball and just a little soccer. "I was the goalie," he admits.
He graduated from Notre Dame with a degree in Film, Television and Theater in 1999. While at ND, he was the equipment manager for the football and hockey programs, spending thousands of hours behind the scenes. He is the only member of the local sports media to earn a Notre Dame monogram as an undergraduate.
Pete has won several awards working at WSBT 22, including for his coverage of Notre Dame football. He was recognized for the best sports report in Indiana two years in a row, in 2014 and 2015, by the Associated Press.
Pete returned to Michiana and WSBT 22 in 2006, after spending seven years covering sports in Minnesota and North Dakota.
Pete is thrilled to be back home, covering his beloved Fighting Irish, along with all his other favorite local teams including the Cubs, Bears, and Blackhawks. He's also happy to be back covering some of the best high school sports around, including Hoosier Hysteria - "the best high school basketball in the country if you ask me".
Don't be surprised if you find Pete out at a local golf course -- talking up a better game than he can play!
When not on the links, he likes to spend free time at the gym and (surprise) watching sports.
Pete and his wife Jen have three kids, Nicki, Jack and Izzy.
Email him at: email@example.com.

There is a new Shin Megami Tensei game coming, and it looks to be coming only to the Nintendo 3DS. This confirms last night's rumour, and now we have a couple of teaser images to show you.
The game's teaser site is now live, depicting a couple of people overlooking a distant city, with the streets of the city covered in fog.
NeoGAFer SolidSnakeex has cleared the images up to make them easier to view; given the desolate sound effects and dark, abondoned streets, it seems like this city has seen better days. The images are quite wide, so click 'em to see the full version.
We've got a note off to Atlus PR and will be sure to update once we've got more information about the game.

Review: Wilder's Mate by Moira Rogers
Tuesday, March 8, 2011
Think a vampire-hunting bloodhound is dangerous? Try threatening his woman.
Bloodhounds, Book 1
Wilder Harding is a bloodhound, created by the Guild to hunt down and kill vampires on America's frontier. His enhanced abilities come with a high price: on the full moon, he becomes capable of savagery beyond telling, while the new moon brings a sexual hunger that borders on madness.
Rescuing a weapons inventor from undead kidnappers is just another assignment, though one with an added complication—keeping his hands off the man's pretty young apprentice, who insists on tagging along.
At odds with polite society, Satira's only constant has been the aging weapons inventor who treats her like a daughter. She isn't going to trust Wilder with Nathaniel's life, not when the Guild might decide the old man isn't worth saving. Besides, if there's one thing she's learned, it's that brains are more important than brawn.
As the search stretches far longer than Wilder planned, he finds himself fighting against time. If Satira is still at his side when the new moon comes, nothing will stop him from claiming her. Worse, she seems all too willing. If their passion unlocks the beast inside, no one will be safe. Not even the man they're fighting to save.
Warning: This book contains a crude, gun-slinging, vampire-hunting hero who howls at the full moon and a smart, stubborn heroine who invents mad-scientist weapons. Also included: wild frontier adventures, brothels, danger, betrayal and a good dose of wicked loving in an alternate Wild West.
The first thing I loved about Wilder's Mate was the wonderful setting. The mix of western and steampunk is fascinating and the detailed description of all the steampunky gadgets totally drew me in. In addition to that we also have the supernatural element of vampires and bloodhounds- which add a certain edge to the story and make it stand out.
But what is this book actually about? On the one hand we have Satira the assistant of an inventor who just went missing. She has to find him ASAP or her life will be ruined. A woman would never be allowed to be an inventor without a male supervisor and without Nathaniel, her missing boss, she would be forced to give up the job she loves so much and would probably be doomed to do a more "womanly" work. She's even more desperate to find him because he's not only her boss, he's more like a father and friend to her and just imagining what might be done to him drives her crazy. Being independent and more tomcat than girl she decides to venture into the Frontier lands, a region where the strong survive and the general rules of society don't apply, to rescue Nate and bring him back home. The only thing or person that stands between her and her rescue mission is the bloodhound who will be send to investigate the disappearance. Satira is a strong woman who knows what she wants, but she also knows what her limits are. I really loved to see this strong woman who's also able to give someone else the reign. Often you only get these stubborn women who want to be strong no matter what just to be seen as independant. I hate that because a smart woman would see what her abilities are instead of just being stubborn to prove a point. I loved that Satira was exactly like that. A smart woman with a strong heart.
On the other hand we have Wilder, the oh so mysterious bloodhound. *swooooon* This is one super hot alpha male. At first he has this exciting mysterious touch. we don't know what he really is or what being a bloodhound means. We just get a little hint here and there and the allure of him practically rises exponentially. He's what we love most about our alpha heroes- strong, protective and adorable even though he has some rather rough edges. But even more he's not overbearing or suppressive. He sees in Satira what she really is- a strong woman who is capable and doesn't need pampering. Yes, he still protects her but he does it with a certain amount of respect to her abilities and doesn't throw himself in front of her when he knows she could handle something on her own. This makes him one of my favorite heroes ever. And he has a wicked little secret that makes him sooooooo more appealing. *dreamy sigh*
The plot around Nathaniel's disappearance kept me glued to the pages. Reading Wilder's Mate is like watching a adventurous western only better suitable for the girly side in me. I loved how all the plot-lines unfolded and I was surprised by more than one revelation. Another plus is how perfectly the romance fit into the story- the mix between action, romance and plot was masterly done. The only thing I regretted was that the story itself was so short. I could have kept reading and reading...
Wilder's Mate is a unique addition to the rather new steampunk genre. With the additional paranormal twist and the wonderfully realized love story it sets the standard high for other novels in this genre. Wilder's Mate is definitely another winner by Moira Rogers and I can't wait for the next book set in this fascinating world.

Game Thread: Warriors @ Phoenix Suns - 11-12-2005
Talk about the upcoming Warriors game here
Moderators: Mr. Crackerz, JREED, Guybrush, 32
Sorry guys, but I'm taking the -1 option. Golden State will take an early lead, but be overtaken by the Suns mid-2nd quarter. After that, I'm guessing that it'll be a close game... but a 4th quarter Warrior surge will fall short and the Suns will edge it out by 3 or less. Steve Nash is just too good of a playmaker and their outside shooting really did the job last time. With Mike Dunleavy playing as poor as he has, I can't see the backcourt and Murph carrying us over the mountain. Hopefully, big minutes for Taft this game... but unlikely, because I'll bet it'll be close most of the time. Sorry, fellow Warrior fans, but this one seems to have bad news written all over it.
... and hopefully I've just jinxed the Suns into losing!

Here's a guest post from our friend Anders at RIM TAT! – Ed.
Cascades is the user interface ("UI") framework that TAT has been using for many years to create numerous advanced UIs and applications, such as Scrapbook for BlackBerry PlayBook. I'm happy to announce that it will soon be part of the BlackBerry Native SDK.
Here's a short list of Cascades features:
- Great performance, including amazing transitions and animations
- Flexible UI layouts including free form lists.
- 3D support
- Support for mixing pre-packaged UI components with custom components
- Core UI feature support
Cascades was originally developed to enable development of really innovative and unique applications. This put hard requirements on the flexibility and extendibility of the UI framework. The need for designer/developer collaboration was also one of stronger driving factors when developing the framework. Let's dig deeper into how Cascades will aid the development of rich and compelling UI.
The flexibility of Cascades enables UI innovation
Cascades has a unique level of UI building blocks. In other UI frameworks, when stepping beyond the set of standard UI components, developers must often resort to low level OpenGLES-commands. Cascades provides higher level building blocks for many of the tricky but application-defining UI scenarios. Features like Flexible List layouts, 2D/3D transformations, mixing of 2D UI and 3D objects are all made accessible to developers.
The Cascades workflow helps designers and developers collaborate
In Cascades, UI elements are exposed both programmatically and through mark-up. The mark-up also provides scripting support making it a suitable environment for more design-oriented developers to work with, allowing for quick turnaround times and prototyping to find best possible UI design.
The markup also enables strong tool support including a Photoshop plugin making it easy to take and .psd sketch to a working layout in an application.
Cascades has beautiful pre-packaged components
Not every developer is a designer, full of ideas around 3D layouts and crazy infographics. For developers who prefer pre-designed and pre-packaged components, Cascades provides a strong set of Core UI components with great look and feel. They come with a number of built in effects and interaction design that will risk making your app look prettier than you can take credit for.
Availability of Cascades
Cascades will be released as a Beta during the Fall of 2011, with more and more advance features coming in future releases.

Industries Natural Gas Storage
Gas in an underground storage facility is divided into two categories, working gas (top gas) and cushion gas (base gas).
Working gas (top gas) - the volume of gas in the reservoir above the designed level of cushion gas. If the Conditions allow it, a percentage or all of the working gas capacity could be injected and withdrawn more than once during any season.
Cushion gas (base gas) - the volume of gas, including native gas, needed as a permanent inventory in a storage reservoir to maintain adequate reservoir pressure and deliverability rates throughout the withdrawal season.
For more detailed information about natural gas storage, visit the following websites:
- » EIA: Basics of Underground Natural Gas Storage
- » NaturalGas.org: Storage of Natural Gas
- » The Energy Information Administration (EIA) - lists weekly reports on the state of natural gas storage.

I posted your latest twist serve diagram. This looks a little clearer. Thanks!
I think the problem is people are too lazy to interpret the diagrams. The diagram explaining what flexion, ulnar deviation and pronation is so straight forward, but I think people get scared of the physiological name, that they refuse to memorize what they are. So when you have that diagram at the beginning of the long thread, they probably won't go back to the beginning of the thread, to recall what ulnar deviation is.
Well, the fault lays in laziness of the mind. I think it is very similar to someone learning chess and won't memorize a few standard openings or book moves.
I don't hold the serve grip very tight, but slightly firm around the thumb and trigger finger. Before your article, I had held the racquet angled but leave the pinky off and adjacent finger very loose.
Now that I hold the thumb across and everything else the same,I am getting much better pronation on my kick. Also, hitting the first serve flat more sharply. I have been working on the Sampras motion for the last year. Your article explains the arm motion very well.

Research tells us that later sleep and wake patterns among adolescents are biologically determined; the natural tendency for teenagers is to stay up late at night and wake up later in the morning. This research indicates that school bells that ring as early as 7:00 a.m. in many parts of the country stand in stark contrast with adolescents' sleep patterns and needs.
Evidence suggests that teenagers are indeed seriously sleep deprived. A recent poll conducted by the National Sleep Foundation found that 60% of children under the age of 18 complained of being tired during the day, according to their parents, and 15% said they fell asleep at school during the year.
On April 2 of 1999, Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), introduced a congressional resolution to encourage schools and school districts to reconsider early morning start times to be more in sync with teens' biological makeup. House Congressional Resolution 135 or the "ZZZ's to A's" Act would encourage individual schools and school districts all over the country to move school start times to no earlier than 8:30 a.m.
"I hope this is a wake up call to school districts and parents all over this country," said Lofgren. "With early school start times, some before 7:00 a.m., adolescents are not getting enough sleep.
"Over time, sleep deprivation leads to serious consequences for academic achievement, social behavior, and the health and safety of our nation's youth," the Congresswoman added. "We must encourage schools to push back their start times to at least 8:30 a.m. — a schedule more in tune with adolescents' biological sleep and wake patterns and more closely resembling the adult work day."
Lofgren's work has continued. In 2014, The National Sleep Foundation (NSF) worked with U.S. Representative Zoe Lofgren to introduce legislation that addresses the relationship between school start times and adolescent health, wellbeing and performance. We encourage you to contact your Representatives and urge them to support this bill.

In fact, public opinion seems to side with Lofgren's "Zzz's to A's" resolution. According to the National Sleep Foundation's 2002 Sleep in America poll, 80% of respondents said high schools should start

Since I moved to New York City a year ago, I have taken to walking after dinner around the midtown neighborhood in which I live. It's especially glorious in the summer; the setting sun lends everything a generous glow. Winter brings early darkness, trudging and multiple layers. In the daytime, temperatures can be mild enough for passersby to leave loose the collars of their heavy coats. Come evening, exposed flesh will soon sting. At first I was drawn to the carnival-like vitality of Times Square, which lies to the south. I walked down the bustling streets slowly, savoring the diversity of the faces in the crowds and the enormous, brilliant billboards that shone down on us.
"I live in New York City," I would frequently say to myself in awe.
But about the eighth time I got elbowed into the street, to be almost run down by squealing teens on enormous party bikes, I realized you don't meander in Times Square. You stride; you press forward; you penetrate; you force your way. Strolling here is the pedestrian equivalent of the guy on the interstate who parks himself in the passing lane while cruising at an easy 55 m.p.h. As they say in Milwaukee, "Drive it or milk it, buddy."
I walk now more to the north, toward Central Park. The long-limbed boughs of birch trees stretch out above, and a lush quiet covers all.
Mostly, I walk to let go. In any given day, I take on new tasks, new ideas like a waiter adding plates. I can manage three projects; why not seven? And just to keep things interesting, what if I worked on them while at the same time checking my e-mail (both accounts, of course), correcting punctuation, returning phone messages and preparing a homily for Sunday's Mass? Honestly, some days I think that those around me should pay to watch me try to keep it all going. (I hear my friends and family now: "Oh, don't worry. We do pay. We do pay.")
By the end of most days I usually have an assortment of at least four or five objects in motion—three tennis balls, a butcher knife and a long-stemmed rose!—and whether I like it or not it's going to take a little time to come down. Some events, maybe most, quickly recede into memory. Others, though, are like those merry-go-rounds children ride on school playgrounds; you pretty much have to wait for them to stop spinning.
If I'm not careful, I can forget altogether that this slowing down is a good thing; rushing through dinner, I forsake my walk and leap back into my office to do some more work. It is astonishing how many interesting projects become burdens when you work on them all the time. (And it is amazing the good ideas you have at 3 a.m. that make no sense at all the next day.)
When I stick to the program and do take my walk, the different events or issues that I have allowed to crowd my attention slowly begin to fall behind me, to be returned to tomorrow or maybe not at all. I find myself greedily drawing in deep gulps of air, as though I have been unconsciously holding my breath. And while the world around me is exactly as it was 10 minutes before, I take everything in hungrily now. It all seems richer.
Day-to-day existence, I am slowly deducing, can feel a little like frostbite. The sheer busyness of it all makes you numb. Ask me halfway through my daytime equivalent of a Balinese line dance done while transposing Dante into Cyrillic, "How are you doing?" and my eyes glaze over. You are speaking gibberish. I have no idea. Often, the best response I can give is monosyllabic snippets spoken in a harried, Don't-talk-to-me-until-this-is-over-and-I-have-no-idea-when-that-will-be sort of tone. There's no time for conversation now.
With deep breaths and small steps, circulation returns. The restlessness that spun me through the day dissipates and settles into a sore but grateful longing. I discover God all around me then, in the silhouette of an elderly couple walking and holding hands; in the distant sounds of the traffic; in the wafting aromas of gyros and roasted cashews that pour forth from the sidewalk food carts. The mania fades; I stop, finally, and drink deep.
It's a difficult task, this journey from self-imposed craziness toward life. I'm not terribly good at it. Often my mind wanders to the next article, the next phone call. Busyness is strangely seductive.
But if I am going to actually live in the world, rather than just run through it, this road is essential. So I try to take it every day.

Sprint Media Tour Day 3
Sprint Media Tour Day 3: Roush Fenway Racing
VIDEO: "Sprint Media Tour Day 3: Penske Racing"
View the photo gallery "Best of Day 3 at the Sprint Media Tour."
SMI: SPECIAL MANAGERS INTELLIGENCE -- Tuesday night closed with the general managers from seven of the eight Speedway Motorsports, Inc. (SMI) tracks - Atlanta, Bristol, Charlotte, Kentucky, Las Vegas, New Hampshire and Sonoma - taking the stage at Whisky River in downtown Charlotte. Texas Motor Speedway GM Eddie Gossage was unable to attend after his flight was canceled due to weather.
The highlight was a video package that was presented to attending media that featured SMI's version of CBS' hit TV show "Undercover Boss."
Last season, the GMs visited different SMI tracks, posing as regular customers.
"We did everything from buy tickets online to standing in line to buy hot dogs," said Marcus Smith, president and general manager of Charlotte Motor Speedway. "I thought it was an extremely beneficial program that I really enjoyed doing. It was informative and gave us some really good feedback on what we can do differently and better, but it was also a lot of fun."
The GMs also commented on the new possible changes to the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series qualifying and Chase for the championship programs.
"I think it really adds to the Friday program," said Jerry Gappens, executive vice president and general manager of New Hampshire Motor Speedway. "One car going out at a time doesn't draw the fans in, especially new fans. This new qualifying format is going to bring in fans and add an excitement level to Friday that's never been seen before."
NEW FORMAT, SAME GOALS -- For Roush Fenway Racing, no matter the changes that NASCAR institutes -- in qualifying or the NASCAR Chase for the Sprint Cup -- the team's goals remain the same, drivers said during the third day of the NASCAR Sprint Media Tour hosted by Charlotte Motor Speedway.
"We're going to go out and try to win every race and try to win the championship no matter what the format is," said Carl Edwards, driver of the No. 99 Fastenal Ford. "I think the important thing for our sport, in my opinion, is to really decide, really, how we want to crown a champion. I grew up with it being, you know, the race is one thing and the season determines the champion and so it took me a long time to shift my thinking to the Chase format. And I guess this will change it by basically a factor of 10 if what I hear proposed is how we're going to do it. I think it'll be a major difference in how we crown a champion. If it's exciting and that's what people want, then that's what we have to do, but it's very different."
Edwards' teammate, Greg Biffle agreed.
"We all pull out on that racetrack to win because it's our pride," Biffle said, who drives the No. 16 3M Ford. "We don't try to finish third; we don't try to finish fifth; we try to win every week and we do what we can. And so I think we've got caught up in that. You get out of the car, you do the interview, you finish fourth. We had a good day. We finished fourth, top five finish, it was a good day in the points for us. I think people take that as, 'Well he's just points racing.' We try to win all of 'em, but you've got to find a positive in finishing fourth or fifth or a top 10. I know there's more emphasis on winning now. We're going to do the same as we've always done and try to win every race we show up at."
And it's not just the rumored changes to the Chase format that drivers will have to deal with in 2014. NASCAR's new rules for "knockout" qualifying will also pose new challenges on the track.
"I kind of imagine it's going to be similar to an exciting Indy qualifying session," said Stenhouse, driver of the No. 17 Nationwide Ford. "You're going to want the shade on the racetrack; you're going to want a clear racetrack, so I definitely think it's going to make it exciting. I know I enjoyed qualifying last year the way it was. This is going to be good for the fans. It's still going to be your first lap on a set of tires so you're still going to have one lap to get it done."
PETTY ON THE RISE -- With a potpourri of new and returning sponsors on board for 2014, Richard Petty Motorsports is in the best position it's been in to compete in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series since it rebranded itself under the RPM name in 2010.
"I don't know that our year was that much better last year than it was (in 2012), but we were a lot more stable," said Richard Petty, co-owner of RPM. "Everyone knows we went to the bottom of the deal when our car owner went bankrupt or whatever a few years ago, and we got with a couple guys and bought the place out. We tried to get some foundation... We have a strong group of sponsorships coming on, and all the (sponsors) that have been there (with us) before stayed, so that's really good."
The increase in sponsorships has allowed RPM to work on its research and development to better prepare itself and become more competitive with the bigger race teams. That kind of competitive advantage, along with a forthcoming NASCAR rules change - that allows any driver with a regular-season win into the Chase for the championship - should benefit Marcos Ambrose, who enters his fourth season driving the No. 9 Ford for RPM.
"There's a real chance for us to make the Chase this year," said Ambrose, whose prowess at road courses will make him a favorite to win at Sonoma Raceway and Watkins Glen. "But we need to have more consistency. You can't win a championship without consistency, so even if we're able to make it in we're going to have to be good every week to really contend. I feel like we're on the right path to do that."
Aric Almirola has yet to find victory lane in his first two full seasons with RPM. Driving the legendary No. 43 Ford, Almirola drives in the shadow of his boss. But while Almirola doesn't feel the pressure of piloting Petty's famed ride, he does know the importance of getting the 43 back into victory lane. And that starts with a strong sponsorship.
"Smithfield Foods, man, did they step up in a big way for us and our race team. The commitment they made to Richard Petty Motorsports and to me is just tremendous, and has allowed us to go out and hire more people, hire new people. We have a lot of momentum on our side," said Almirola, who announced on Wednesday that he'll have the Air Force on board for two races in 2014. "We started off really strong last season then faltered in this summer. We're not going to fall off this year."
The No. 43 will also run for RPM in the Nationwide Series. Dakoda Armstrong signed a multi-year deal at the beginning of December to drive the 43, and is thrilled for the opportunity after running six races for Richard Childress Racing in 2013.
"It's great to be with an organization like Richard Petty Motorsports," said the 22-year-old Armstrong. "Everything's been going really smooth so far. I think our communication is getting to where it needs to be and now it's about getting this season started."
McCLURE GETS DAYTONA 500 RIDE WITH FRONT ROW MOTORSPORTS -- NASCAR Nationwide Series driver Eric McClure said Wednesday that he will be behind the wheel of a third Front Row Motorsports car at the Daytona 500 and continue racing in the Nationwide Series for TriStar Motorsports.
"I've only recently been cleared to compete so a lot of dominoes are starting to fall into place," McClure told media during Wednesday's Ford announcements with Front Row Motorsports and Wood Brothers Racing. "The plan is the Daytona 500 for sure, Speedweeks, and hopefully we qualify."
While McClure was quick to admit running the Daytona 500 is something of a bucket list item, this isn't just a personal endeavor. McClure will drive the No. 35 Hefty Ford in Daytona.
"I have to stress that the Cup deal is not just, 'Oh Eric wants to go run a Cup race,' he said."Certainly as a driver I want to run this race. It's something I've wanted to my whole life but as representing our partners we have to find new opportunities to enhance their program. And certainly I've proven my career is coming down to an end, so we're trying to strategically find different opportunities for them to be involved in the sport."
RAGAN AND GILLILAND: RUMORED CHASE CHANGES COULD BENEFIT SMALL TEAMS -- As Front Row Motorsports took the spotlight alongside Wood Brothers Racing Wednesday, Front Row drivers David Gilliland and David Ragan expressed optimism about how their team could compete if rumored changes to the NASCAR Chase for the Sprint Cup.
"I think that we've got to continue to evolve our sport based on the fans that we have in the world as it changes," said Ragan, who drives the No. 34 Front Row Motorsports Ford. "The fundamental parts are always going to be there. You're going to have 43 cars you've got to go and race, and the best guy is going to win. But I'm excited about the upcoming season, the possible changes. I think that it definitely fits into our favor as a smaller team trying to grow in this world. It's a big benefit if we can be in the Chase, for our sponsors, for our team, for everyone. I think it's a good thing to help everybody grow."
Looking at last year's successes, Gilliland summed up how big an impact the rumored changes could be for Front Row Motorsports.
"I think they said with David (Ragan) winning at Talladega last year, if the points were the exact same this year, he possibly would have made (the Chase)," Gilliland said. "That'd be a huge shot for Front Row Motorsports, so that's kind of what we're focusing on all the while keeping focus on getting our whole team elevated to run better each and every week."
BAYNE FINDING BALANCE -- Trevor Bayne has had his ups and downs on and off the track with Wood Brothers Racing, but through it all, including a Daytona 500 win and being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, he's kept an even keel.
"It is a diagnosis, but to me it has not changed my way of life or any daily activities or anything like that so for me that's all it has to be right now is a diagnosis," Bayne said of learning to live with MS. "It changes one thing about your mindset... you appreciate every day and you make the best of it."
In 2014, Bayne finds himself splitting time between a full-time Nationwide Series ride with Roush Fenway Racing and 20 Sprint Cup Series races with Wood Brothers Racing.
Racing in each series presents a unique challenge, Bayne said.
"As far as how I race, I think I'm all-out all the time and I think most people would agree," Bayne said. "But the thing is I am racing for points in Nationwide, so you're cautious. But in the Cup Series I'm cautious because there are other guys racing for points and I don't want to be the guy that shows up once every three weeks and causes chaos for the guy that's running for a championship or could contend to be in the Chase."
CHANGE IS GOOD --For one, it's about finding a way to take the next step up the mountain. For the other, it's about how to get back on top. That's the best way to describe the outlook in 2014 for Penske Racing's Joey Logano and 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion Brad Keselowski.
In his first season driving the No. 22 Shell-Pennzoil Ford for Penske, Logano finished with 19 top-10s, including 11 top-fives and a victory. Those numbers were good enough for him to make the Chase for the first time in his career. He went on to finish a respectable eighth, finishing no worse than 18th over the final 10 races. But with impending changes coming to NASCAR premier series playoff, Logano knows he's going to have to adapt to the alterations or it will be a step backward.
"I think it's great. You're going to have a Richmond (the last race of the regular season) scenario within the Chase, almost a make it or break it every three races," said Logano, noting NASCAR's potential elimination Chase system. "There's going to be some really desperate drivers taking chances and I think that's great for the fans. It's going to add a lot of drama."
Dramatic changes were made within the middle ranks of Team Penske when it comes to the No. 2 Miller Lite Ford. The Blue Deuce's consistent mechanical failures and gaffes on pit road were costly in 2013, enough to keep the 2012 champion from defending his title.
"We weren't where we needed to be last year," said Keselowski. "But we've revamped our pit crew and made some changes internally, at the shop, and now it's up to me as a driver to capitalize on these positive changes."
"We had some reliability problems and it just wasn't as smooth as 2012," said team owner Roger Penske. "But look, it's racing and you're not going to win every year. When it comes to Brad, he's got it as a driver. He's been to the top. Now we just have to give him better tools to get there.
"Our goal as a team is no different than anyone else. We want to be at that head table at the end of the 2014 season."
That's also the goal for Ryan Blaney. The 20-year-old will run a more expanded schedule, piloting the Ford Mustang in 15 NASCAR Nationwide Series races for Team Penske this season. On top of his Camping World Truck Series schedule, he will also make his debut in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, running at least two events behind the wheel of the No. 12 SKF Ford, the first coming at Kansas Speedway on May 10.
"It just makes me feel really good to have people trust me to make my first Cup start, and do all these Nationwide races to try and win that Owner's Championship," said Blaney. "We've really improved our relationship with Ford, across the board, so I'm truly excited to get this season going."
QUOTE OF THE DAY --"He's always the first one in the window and the last one to leave. Whether that's a good thing or not, it's always helpful. You need that and it makes me push harder and be that much better."
Ryan Blaney, on his father, NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver Dave Blaney

From 23rd – 25th September 2011, Port Klang celebrated its 110th year of existence as one of Southeast Asia's top ports with a 3-day extravaganza. Themed "Celebrating Over 100 Years Of Port Klang", the celebrations were held to commemorate Port Klang's rich history and development. Starting out as a small coastal port, Port Klang (then Port Swettenham) was officially opened to traffic on 15th September 1901. From its inception, it had always been earmarked as the Federated Malay States' main port, and has remained true to its mandate ever since. Today, Port Klang is the top 13th container port in the world, with links to more than 600 ports in 180 countries over 6 continents.
Launching The Celebrations
Spearheaded by Port Klang Authority (PKA), the official launch of the celebrations was held in conjunction with an appreciation high tea, to which PKA invited over 1,500 of its business partners and associates, as a gesture of thanks for their support of the port over the years. It was officiated by Ministry of Transport Secretary-General, Dato' Long See Wool, who also officially launched PKA's coffee-table book (CTB) entitled "Port Klang: Malaysia's Maritime Marvel" at the same event. The 120-page CTB chronicles Port Klang's journey from its humble beginnings as a simple railway port to becoming a world-class international port. It also aims to enlighten readers and prospective visitors about the port's facilities and onward drive into the future. Copies of the CTB were formally presented to high-ranking representatives from the port's terminal operators Northport and Westports, various industry associations and cruise terminal operator Glenn Marine Group (Asia). The official ceremonies culminated with PKA giving charitable contributions to various organisations including orphanages and old folks (assisted living) homes as well as setting up medical and education funds.
The celebrations came at an opportune time as Port Klang surges into the future with an optimistic outlook. Despite the bearish global economic situation, Port Klang's container throughput remained mostly unaffected, standing at a record-breaking 6.38 million TEUs as of August 2011, according to PKA Chairman Dato' Dr Teh Kim Poo at a press conference during the launch. Dato' Dr Teh also said that given current throughput levels, Port Klang will handle an estimated 9.2 to 9.6 million TEUs by the end of the year, a significant increase from 2010's throughput of 8.9 million TEUs.
A Fun Day For The Family
The festivities kicked into high gear the next day with an outdoor carnival at Tanjung Harapan (the Esplanade) and at Port Klang itself. From 8am – midnight, the public was invited to and feted at an activity-packed, fun-filled "open day". Hundreds of visitors thronged the Esplanade carnival site, with some taking part in various competitions organised by PKA, including fishing, a kids' colouring contest, water sports as well as karaoke. Others did their part for the community at the blood donation programme or visited booths set up by various government agencies and public utility companies.
Aside from the activities at Tanjung Harapan, harbour cruises to both of Port Klang's container terminals, Northport and Westports, were arranged from the conventional terminal at Southpoint. Dato' Dr Teh reported that in excess of 10,000 people lined up for these cruises, requiring additional cruises and time extensions to the schedule. The public was also given the rare opportunity to go on a 2-hour guided bus tour of Northport. In addition, PKA arranged a career seminar for students of school-leaving age from selected schools around the area. The seminar featured talks from representatives of various maritime-related agencies and companies detailing the career options available in and around Port Klang, and was held at the Westports Auditorium.
Towards the evening, the public was treated to various sights and shows, including an antique bike parade, boat/yacht floats by the sea, a magnificent fireworks display, live band shows and a singing competition.
Rounding It Up
The festivities were capped off by a charity golf tournament on Sunday, followed by the closing ceremony. Held at the 150-acre, 18-hole seaside Port Klang Golf Resort, located opposite the Esplanade, the tournament was open by invitation only and completed in time for lunch. The closing ceremony also featured a press conference, during which Dato' Dr Teh unveiled PKA's plans to open a new port terminal in 2012.
The celebrations were a success from every aspect, introducing many people to the facilities and potential of Port Klang and enabling the public to share in commemorating Port Klang's successes over the years, as well as to wish it well for the next 100 years to come.

Last Cake, Next Cake
For example, Jennifer found it "simple to make" and "satisfying to eat."
Joan said it was "luscious" and "not difficult or time-consuming."
Raymond judged it "so easy" and "nice and light and flavorful."
Katya thought it was "very simple" and "easy to eat," although, to be honest, she was perhaps more enthralled with her new Heritage bundt pan than with the cake.
Lois, still cooking in her "little Polish kitchen," thought the cake was "soft and tender." She thought it was easy even thought she had to substitute migdałów aromatycznych for the aromat waniliowy, which you'd think would be enough to drive anyone to drink.
Vicki declared that the cake was "incredibly light crumbed" and "very easy to make."
Andrea thought it was "super simple," but hadn't tasted yet as of posting time.
Monica really said it all: The cake is "perfect because its easy to make, easy to decorate, easy to served and the most important easy of all? To eat."
For Kristina, it was so easy that it didn't present enough of a challenge--she had to try the marzipan candle in order to make it interesting.
Mendy, who found the cake "delicious," also tried the marzipan candle. Nice work, Mendy, but the marzipan decoration isn't as pretty as your Hannukah candles.
For Sarah, the candle was the hero (or villain) of her piece. Villain because she thought it looked "ridiculous," and made both her and Steve "burst out laughing."
Although Jenn found the cake "dense and fudgy," she wasn't jumping on the quick and easy bandwagon, mostly because she broke her stride when she realized she'd forgotten to add sugar. She recovered, but worried about overbeating, and also worried that part of the cake stuck to the cake pan. She's going to give it another shot, though.
And Nancy was having so much fun making quick and easy chocolate cakes that she added another one: the Black Chocolate Party Cake, which she made in addition to the assigned chocolate fudge cake.
Our featured baker this week is Gartblue. As you may have noticed, I'm a pushover for anyone who goes all out, since I like to go all out myself. So I love it that Gartblue gave a birthday party for her daughter Ayisha that included not only the Chocolate Velvet Fudge Cake ("what a surprise this cake turned out to be despite its deceptive appearance"), but also the Lemon Canadian Crown, which she'd stashed in the freezer last week, AND the chocolate ice cream cake. A birthday lunch at Gartblue's also includes lamb kebabs, meatballs in black pepper sauce, and fried vegetables. Coincidentally, this is what I want for my next birthday lunch.
Our next cake should also be quick and easy--unless, of course, you try making it with marzipan candles. Then I'm not responsible. It's the Financier-style Vanilla Bean Pound Cakes. You'll need half a vanilla bean, as you might guess, and egg whites only. Check your freezer. And isn't it about time for you to break down and buy those silicone financier pans?
After that, it's another Free Choice week. We've never had so many, but I want to give everyone a chance to play Catch-Up.
By the way, since cocoa is the basis for nearly all of the chocolate cakes--which means almost half the cakes in the book--Jenn was wondering if people have found a brand of cocoa they're satisfied with, and, if so, what is it and where do you get it?
I used Droste almost exclusively. Then I ordered a big bag of Perugina from King Arthur, and I've been quite pleased with it. It has a higher fat content than cocoa you can buy in the supermarket. I'll either buy it again when I run out, or I'll try some French cocoa and compare.

Oh shoot.... I didn't get mine posted in time to be a part of your summary. Well, it's up if you want to visit.
To answer your question (or rather, Jenn's question), I use Penzey's Cocoa. Fabulous stuff.
I'm off to read all the HCBs posts about this cake.

True. The pan is marvelous. And I'm not alone--I got more comments than usual, and almost all were about the pan. My quite discerning grandmother was also blown away.
I use bulk cocoa that I buy at Sahadi's, a middle eastern bulk foods and importer in Brooklyn (best place ever). They have dark and regular, and I buy regular, usually. It's very rich.
And, thank you for your ideas, all of you re: over the top cakes.
I'm now making a wedding cake this August, and the bride has requested a 7-layer dobos torte style, so I may have future off topic questions re: this as I experiments.

Great write up Marie. It's nice to see that we are positively in agreement about the cake (at least mot of us, I still need to re-visit :)).
And thanks for posting my question. I hope I'm not being too high maintenance!
I am currently using Ghiraldelli and Schaffenberger cocoa powder. Though just ordered Droste from Amazon.

Here's a link to Cook's Illustrated's evaluation of several cocoa powders. Callebaut was the only one to win its "highly recommended" rating.
- December 8, 2010 at 7:08 PM
- Marie said...
Correction: The cocoa I've been using is Pernigotti, not Perugina, and I bought it from Amazon, not King Arthur. Otherwise, I stand by my answer.

Congrats Gartblue! Great looking party!
I also use Droste cocoa or one of the "heimeshe" brands like Leibers.
- December 8, 2010 at 8:03 PM
- Jenn said...
Never heard of Pernigotti before, Marie. Good to know it's good stuff :).
www.chocosphere.com also has the Pernigotti cocoa powder. I've never purchased from this site but it was recommended by several members of Rose's forum.

I'm using Green & Black's cocoa powder, largely because I can find it fairly easily at the big Whole Foods store. I might order some of the Callebaut just to give it a try, having been unable to find the G&B last weekend. The Scharffen Berger natural is fairly easy for me to find, but it was at the bottom of the Cooks Illustrated ratings--I think I'll give it a pass.
Sure wish Cooks Illustrated would update that article and include more of the cocoas that are now pretty widely available, like the ones we've been mentioning.

Congratulations Gartblue! I would like to come to one of your parties :)
As for cocoa powder, I've used Scharffenberger (which I've liked despite CI flunking it) and am currently enjoying Dagoba cocoa powder. I've also liked Guittard's cocoa rouge. Surprisingly, I wasn't super fond of Green & Black's even though I love their bars.

Congratulations Gartblue! I love how all out you went on your daughters birthday - wow 3 cakes!
Jenn and I had a pow wow on the cocoa and like most of you I use Shcaffenberger and also Droste, which was a huge sticker schock (very expensive)...I heard of Pernigotti and most likely will give it a try.

I use um.. whatever Bulk Barn happens to carry? :) I just looked it up and Bulk Barn calls it "Ruddy Red".
I can't even get dutch processed cocoa powder at my grocery store, so I use what's available. I suppose I should look into ordering some good stuff, but I haven't had any complaints about what I've been using.

Congratulations in advance, Gartblue. I have to go check out your fabulous post. Btw, when can we all come over for lunch at your place? :o)
@Jenn: I use Blooker cocoa which I bring back with me from The Netherlands when I visit. You can buy it online where they sell imported Dutch stuff. Here's one: http://www.dutchmarket.ca/index.php/browse/search/part_num_and_description/blooker. It's US$6.39 for 250 grams. As ButterYum mentioned, Penzeys has good cocoa too. They actually carry two kinds: all natural and high-fat Dutch cocoa (22%) – "normal" (says Hersheys) cocoa usually has about 12% fat.
@Katya: I was browsing through an old book of Rose last night called Rose's Melting Pot. She had a recipe in there for the Dobos Torte and a beautiful picture. I immediately wondered why she hadn't included that recipe in "Rose's Heavenly Cakes". It's just gorgeous and probably as time-consuming as say, The Charlotte. I can email you the recipe if you like.
@NancyB: I agree. I wish CI would update their list. At least they should include Penzeys cocoa which I've heard good things about.
@Kristina: the company name I mentioned to Jenn is Canadian so you might be able to order the cocoa I use from there.
For those of you who like Droste cocoa, here's another online store that my Dutch coworker uses all the time. Their price ($8.49/250gr) for Droste is cheaper than my local grocery store and it might be cheaper than Amazon too: http://www.thedutchstore.com/beverages.html.

Congrats to GartBlue. That's a lot of lovely cakes for birthday!
@NancyB - Green & Blacks cocoa powder have been discontinued in the US. Someone over at Rose's forum called G&B and that's what she's been told.
Thanks everyone for answering the cocoa powder question :).
- December 9, 2010 at 7:20 AM
- Maja said...
I usually use Droste. I am not very fond of Ghirardelli Cocoa. I find the flavor to be very flat and when cocoa is the only chocolate ingredient, the result was never chocolately enough. I hope to get some Callebaut Cocoa Powder to test. I love dark, fudgy, intense chocolately flavor and so far, Droste delivers the best for me. Thanks for all your opinions. This was very helpful!

thanks marie for featuring me .. and yes, if ever any of you find yourself in the tropic Kuala Lumpur, drop me an email and we should do lunch.
I wish I could get any of cocoa powder like Droste but I guess I havent been looking hard enough. I use primarily Van Houten, not liking the Hersheys too much.

I use Green & Blacks and have had to resort to procuring it from their site online. I got about 8 cans last time after finding it impossible to locate previously. I am glad to find all these good suggestions here and will thankfully take advantage of the information!

Water managers from seven states, Indian tribes and conservation groups are pledging to find ways to wring more from every drop of water in the drought-stricken Colorado River.
Officials ended a Tuesday meeting in San Diego promising an update by the end of the year on the work of panels representing municipal, agricultural, environmental and tribal interests.
Looming shortages are predicted on the river serving some 40 million people in California, Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico and Wyoming. Mexico also has a stake.
A December report concluded that the river might not be able to meet demands of the regional population by 2060.
Bureau of Reclamation chief Michael Connor says 2013 could be the fourth-driest year in the basin in the past 100 years. Last year was the fifth-driest.

Since receiving my review unit of the Samsung Galaxy S8, I've barely reached for my iPhone 6. And while I test the device for my in-depth enterprise review, I've stumbled across some features I think are underrated.
The most prominent features of the S8 are easy to spot and highly publicized -- the bezel-free Infinity Display, the Super AMOLED display with QHD+ resolution and virtual integrated home button. The design and display drew me in, but I've found a lot more to love about the Galaxy S8 -- even in some areas I least expected. Here are the five most surprising features I've found on the Samsung Galaxy S8.
VINTAGE Notre Dame Fighting Irish Block Head Snapback Specialties Hat Cap Sports Specialties Snapback 9f8498
The bezel free design allowed Samsung to pack a 5.8-inch inch display into a 5.86-inch form factor -- to put it simply, this phone is all screen. This is great news if, like me, you've found past Android devices too large or uncomfortable to hold. The tapered edges add another level of comfort and I found it just as comfortable to hold and use with one hand as my iPhone 6. But my favorite thing about all the screen real estate is that it makes the multi-window feature on Android Nougat usable.
On smaller Android displays, I don't find multi-windows usable, but on the S8's taller display, I had more than enough room to make use of the feature. Once I got the hang of the different gestures, commands and features, it became intuitive. I used the feature to constantly float apps like Spotify or Google Hangouts in the corner while I scrolled through Twitter or browsed the web. I wound up using the multi-windows more often than I had expected, docking YouTube or Amazon at the top of my display while I kept up on a group chat below. At this point, exiting and opening apps over and over to respond to messages or check notifications feels archaic.

Android notifications have never been elegant, so that's why I was delighted to see Samsung's Edge Notifications; they are simple and stunning. With Edge notifications, a blue light travels around the edges of the display, which sounds cheesy, but it's aesthetically pleasing and easy to ignore.
D&Y Wool Newsboy Cabbie Hat Cap Elastafit Trucker Brown,
The Edge notifications aren't perfect. I'd like to have more control over the notification settings and even the option to turn off the Edge lighting in certain situations. And some apps, like Android Messages and Samsung's stock messaging app still displayed the traditional notifications with the edge notifications. However, these are all software fixes, and I'm excited to see what Samsung does with these sleek notifications in the future.
This minimalism extends to the lock screen, too. You can opt to see notification icons instead of the traditional alerts. Small, delicate app icons pop up to indicate unread messages and alerts -- double tapping on the app icon will display more information about the notification. With the icons only setting, my lock screen never looks cluttered or overrun with notifications and I found it less distracting, overall.

You'll hear a lot about the Galaxy S8 fingerprint reader -- mostly because it's been relegated to the back. The Verge reports that Synaptics didn't have the technology for an integrated fingerprint ready in time for the launch date -- the same issue Apple is reportedly facing with the rumored iPhone 8.
I personally don't care for fingerprint readers and I went in expecting the worst, but after a week of use, I've been pleasantly surprised at the ways I've made it work. I can't say the S8 fingerprint reader frustrates me anymore a smartphone with a home-button fingerprint reader. And once I slapped a case on the device, it became easier to blindly locate the fingerprint reader, avoiding the dreaded camera smudge.
NEW ERA NEW YORK YANKEES FITTED HAT BASEBALL CAP 59FIFTY BLACK GRAY SZ 7 - 8 A,NEWNew Era Men's Dallas Cowboys Navy Blue/Gray Cap One Size,ARMY Navy Vietnam Korea Veteran U.S CORPS Marine Military Baseball Cap Hat,
The location isn't ideal, but I prefer it as a design choice -- S8 cases would be ugly and ineffective if they needed a cut out large camera and another cutout for the fingerprint reader below.
NWT John Deere Gray Reflective Adjustable Hat One Size,
I never thought I would see the day when I counted Samsung's TouchWiz as a plus. But on the Galaxy S8, Samsung's Android skin is more refined and user-friendly than ever. I appreciate stock Android as much as the next tech-enthusiast, but for the average consumer, Android can be a mess of configurations and menus. Apple's popularity proves that plenty of users aren't interested in drilling down to fine-tune every notification and setting, they just want a phone that works.
VINTAGE EASTERN ELECTRIC HAT WHITE & BLACK SNAPBACK ADJUSTABLE IN NICE CONDITION,Quiksilver ROOSTER MELE KALIKIMAKA BT0,
Samsung's bloatware is still there -- but it's tucked away nicely into a folder. It's less intrusive than in the past, and it doesn't annoy me anymore than the folder of stock Apple apps I never touch on my iPhone. Samsung no longer forces its proprietary apps on you and lets you decide which apps serve you best. And on the S8 I can tuck the folder away into my App Drawer, instead of making room for it on my home screen.
Miami Heat All Black / Burgundy Orange White Logo New Era 59Fifty Fitted Hat,
One of the most underrated features on the Galaxy S8 is the Bluetooth 5, which lets you stream audio to two Bluetooth devices simultaneously. It features greater range and a stronger, faster and more reliable connection than Bluetooth 4. It's a small feature, but reliable Bluetooth is becoming increasingly important, especially as connected devices continue to grow.
Having the latest Bluetooth in the S8 won't just make it easier to stream to more than one set of headphones or speaker, but you also won't have to worry about compatibility over the life span of your smartphone. It's also the first device to feature Bluetooth 5 -- and, while it won't be the last, it might be months before another flagship device ships with Bluetooth 5.

Spring is here - the work is done - ready to welcome you
It's spring, and we've had an exciting winter, with the new extension completed by Gillies Brothers of Taynuilt (free ad in gratitude for excellent quality work). It blends in perfectly and gives us a mud room for coats and wet jackets, good storage and a brand new shower room. The bedroom has more space - no more clambering over each other in the night - and the living area too. The new kitchen works well and the extractor makes a real difference. Now all we have to do is finish the decorating and some improvements to the bunk room and we are ready for a wonderful season. There are Golden Eagles on the hill above Loch Avich - the Osprey are back - both pairs - and I saw a Goshawk with strange red eyes and beautiful markings. As you can see from Michael's pic from last week, the squirrels are back to their early morning tricks. Before we know it the bluebells will be in flower.

When he knew all cameras and lights would be trained on him, Ray Lewis pulled his game jersey off Sunday to reveal a shirt with a single message: Psalms 91.
So curious minds wanted to understand what point Lewis was trying to make as he took a victory lap around the stadium wearing this particular shirt.
The psalm is known as the "psalm of protection." It has a lot to do with vanquishing various enemies with faith and treading upon beasts under one's feet.
Here's a key passage:
Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.
A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.
And of course this part:
You will tread on the lion and the cobra; you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
Lewis certainly tread upon the Colts Sunday -- and quite a few other beasts along the way, Lions, yes, Bengals, Eagles... perhaps a few Broncos this weekend.

Candidate Summary, 2012 Cycle
Former Utah governor and ambassador to China
Huntsman, born in 1960, is a former Utah governor (2005-2009) and ambassador to China (2009-2011) under the Obama administration. On June 21, 2011, Huntsman formally announced his entry into the Republican presidential primary, doing so from Liberty State Park in New Jersey, where President Ronald Reagan launched his own run in 1980.
Show More Information About Jon Huntsman
"I'm a candidate for the office of President of the United States of America," Huntsman said. "For the first time in our history, we are passing down to the next generation a country that is less powerful, less compassionate, less competitive and less confident than the one we got. This, ladies and gentlemen, is totally unacceptable and totally un-American."
Huntsman appeared poised to enter the GOP primary during the spring of 2011, telling Bloomberg, "We're moving in that direction. We've got about all the boxes checked: you've got the organizing box, you've got the fundraising box, you've got the boots on the ground box. Then you've got the family box, that is the last one. And we're about there, too. We'll probably have one more sit-down meeting this week, and then I think we'll be able to check that box."
Huntsman, the son of one of the nation's wealthiest men, Jon Huntsman Sr., who founded chemical manufacterer Huntsman Corporation. Jon Jr. is also a former ambassador to Singapore under President George H.W. Bush.

Cadelina steps down at Central after 16 years
It wasn't that long ago that Central football was one of Connecticut's downtrodden programs.
Then the school hired Dave Cadelina and thus began one of the great turnarounds in state football history.
Now, after 16 years, 93 victories, a pair of state tournament appearances and two FCIAC championship game appearances, Cadelina has decided to hang up his whistle.
The 47-year-old coach, who's came to be known for his flair for drama, using movie themes, quotes and even game-day makeup to help motivate his players, made his decision after several months of mulling it over with his family.
His decision made, Cadelina met with his players Tuesday afternoon.
"I feel that it's time for me to step aside," said Cadelina, a math teacher at the school. "Throw Excalibur back into the lake if, you will, and open it up for somebody new to come on in.
"Have had nothing but enjoyment being here for 16 years serving players and the community at Central."
Cadelina, a Bethany native and Amity graduate who was a freshman on the Spartans' 1979 state championship team, was an assistant coach for nine years, including time spent at Harding, under Bob Cole.
When Cadelina took over in 1997, Kennedy Stadium was a dump, Central hadn't had a winning season in 25 years, nor had it beaten crosstown rival Harding in recent years.
It didn't take long for Central to smash down barriers.
"My first goal when I got there was beating Harding," Cadelina said.
"I really wanted to help even out that series. We accomplished that goal fairly early."
Central beat Harding in his first season.
It went on to win 15 of 16 meetings, including the last 14 years, under Cadelina's watch.
"Our next goal was to have a winning season," he said. "We took care of that, too."
Central went 6-5 in 1999.
In 2004, Cadelina and the Hilltoppers stunned the rest of the FCIAC by going 9-0 in the regular season and reaching the school's first FCIAC championship game. Central lost to Greenwich 43-27, but also reached the state playoffs. Kennedy Stadium hosted its first state playoff game, but Central got hammered by eventual state champion New Britain, 59-7.
Three years later, Central returned to the state playoffs.
But it was defeated twice by Greenwich, first in the season opener, than in the Class LL semifinals.
In 2009, Cadelina had one of his best, most physical teams. The Hilltoppers defeated Greenwich and New Canaan on the way to a second straight FCIAC championship game. They led Staples 10-7 with 1:55 remaining, but Brendan Rankowitz broke their hearts with the winning 66-yard touchdown catch-and run.
"I was dying to win that FCIAC championship," Cadelina said. "We came close."
That was Central's last, great team. Though the last three Central teams didn't win as consistently as Cadelina would have liked, he said his decision to leave had nothing to do with wins and losses.
"Some of my losing years have been the most enjoyable," he said. "I'm 100 percent proud of accomplishments we've had at Central in 16 years.
"But as most coaches will tell you, it's a year round job and I've been thinking long and hard about this. Only the future will tell if this is a good decision. For me and for the team, I believe I'm making the right one. I will miss it terribly and I have no aspirations on coaching anywhere else but at Central High School.
"I'm sure it'll be in good hands."
