Canadian twins "impressed and inspired" by Bach's attendance
Nanjing, China, August 19, 2014 - After winning their third Beach Volleyball match in three days, the Canadian twins of Megan and Nicole McNamara were both "impressed and inspired" by the appearance of International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach at the Nanjing YOG Sports Park Tuesday afternoon.
"That's pretty neat," said Nicole about Dr. Bach's visit to the venue and appearance on the sand between the first and second set of the Canadians' 2-1 (21-19, 14-21 and 15-9) victory in 39 minutes over Tina Graudina and Anastasija Kravcenoka of Latvia.
"Obviously, we did not play well in the second set after the 10-minute break in play," Nicole offered, "but that (Dr. Bach's visit) was not the reason we lost the set. I cannot speak for all the players, but it impressive that he (Dr. Bach) would take the time to watch us play. It is inspiring that individuals like Dr. Bach support our sport."
In speaking with FIVB young reporter Seth Rubinroit when walking of the sand after the stoppage in play, Dr. Bach said Beach Volleyball "is a very modern sport. It is a very easy-going sport. You can see how much the youth like it."
During Dr. Bach's appearance at the center court of the venue, the IOC president was presented an autographed official "Mikasa" Beach Volleyball by athletes from China, Poland and the United States along with FIVB delegate Marco "Tullio" Teixeira.
Following the "Mikasa" presentation, the Canadian twins joined Graudina and Kravcenoka for a "selfie" with Dr. Bach. "That will be something for us and the Latvians to remember," said Nicole. "This is the biggest event of our lives and to be a part of the center court presentation with the IOC president will be one of memorable moments from the Games."
With Beach Volleyball being one of the most covered sports in both the Summer and Youth Olympics, one veteran reporter said that the McNamara's "blonde hair, beautiful eyes, attractive smiles and out-going personalities make them the face of the sport. It is no wonder that the twins are crowded by the Chinese volunteers for photographs following each of their matches."
Nicole said she has been "surprised by the popularity. It is our first time that we have visited China. We can't help being touched by their zeal of the Chinese. It is special and very memorable for us and all the players."
During post-match interviews with reporters, Megan said "their bond as siblings helped them work together on the court. I'd say we have an advantage because we've played together for four years and we're so comfortable with each other; we really play well together."
The twins were initially introduced to Beach Volleyball during a vacation in Mexico. "It was kind of a fluke," said Nicole. "We were on vacation in Mexico and we just noticed a beach volleyball court and started to play. We came home, signed up, and it all came from that."
Watching the twins play Tuesday were their mother Kristina McNamara. "I hope they devote themselves into each match, enjoy each match and be happy whatever the outcome," said mom. "My husband (Sean) and I are thrilled they are playing the sport they love. We're extremely proud of them and their biggest fans."
The McNamaras, who will head to Hawai'i after the Youth Olympics to participate in a high school Volleyball tournament, lead Pool A in the women's Nanjing competition with a 3-0 match mark. The twins end group play with matches against Yekaterina Lassyuta/Anna Pimenova of Kazakhstan and Irene Enzo/Michela Lantignotti of Italy.
A win Thursday over Lassyuta and Pimenova coupled with the Latvians victory over Enzo and Lantignotti the same day would clinch the Pool A title for the McNamaras. The top teams from each of the six pools in the Beach Volleyball competition will receive a first-round "bye" when single-elimination play starts Sunday along with the top two second-place finishers based on point ratio.

So, I'm innocently fast forwarding through most of the Michigan-Michigan State hockey game, trying to assign blame and credit. When I stop right before the second State goal, the play-by-play guy says this, verbatim:
When we got done [talking to Jack Johnson, Sr.] he said "my son will be here for at least two years at Michigan, you can be sure of that."I've heard that from a second source who also had talked with Johnson, Sr., though the timeframe was not expressed so explicitly. Now I know we've been burned before, but I'm just saying. Just sayin'. Tentative yay!
By the way, the two-minute crosschecking penalty was definitely a hit from behind into the boards and should have been five and a game. But y'all probably knew that.

Based on the chart at this address, my two cats (one of them 19 lbs) probably add up to an Eco-Footprint similar to an SUV. [The chart can't be hot-linked.]
I do feel guilty about the carbon footprint of my beloved feline family members.
The number of Americans who admit that they suffer from environmentally related "green guilt" has more than doubled in the past three years, according to a new survey. Environmental experts define green guilt as the knowledge that you could and should be doing more to help preserve the environment. Today it affects nearly one-third (29 percent) of Americans.
Views: 332
Well, so I shouldn't feel guilty about my cats. And I refuse to feel "green guilty", because the real issue is overpopulation. If we weren't so overpopulated, we could eat all the fish we wanted to, and the seas would still be healthy, and the fossil fuels would not be running out, and we could have cities and technology without using up all the resources of the world. While it is true that Americans use more resources than poor countries, the poor countries are producing most of the children, who, if they grow up at all, will just produce more and more children. And don't think for a minute that they wouldn't choose OUR lifestyle if they could! So it's a double-edged sword, and unless we attack it from both sides, we're doomed.
I wonder how the eco-footprint of adopting a cat compares to bringing a human baby into this world.
I knew about the footprints on my heart...
Composting sounds quite intimidating. It'd require a lot more work. Guess I'm not quite ready to bite that bullet.
Thanks for pointing out a likely problem with the methodology: waste meat doesn't use grain, water, etc. that isn't already being used to raise meat for human consumption.
Unfortunately the New Scientist article about Robert and Brenda Vale's book is behind a paywall.
Natalie is right that the root problem here is human overpopulation (not helped, btw, by those religions whose arsenal of survival and market-share tricks includes a "be fruitful and multiply" teaching!).
Keep in mind that "waste" meat keeps changing. Pink slime is now a routine part of our food chain. Horse and donkey meat work their way into so called beef products. As climate change and overpopulation create more severe protein shortages, I suspect that the definition of waste meat will shift even more drastically.

Assume flat spacetime in a general relativistic framework (or special relativity for that matter) and two observers $A$ and $B$, with non-vanishing velocity relative to each other. We know that they are both moving in their own (global) inertial frames $I_A,I_B$ and these physical frames are related by a Lorentz transformation, namely a Lorentz boost. This must be so, because for examples, one light ray has the same velocity in both of these frames.
Starting from the frame of $I_A$, what is the physical interpretation of the coordinate system we get, if we make a Galileian transformation, i.e. a Galileian boost?
We might do this by, say, using the spatial part of the relative velocity $v_{BA}^i$ of $A$ and $B$. Maybe there is a better choice than $v_{BA}^i$ $-$ I'm especially (but not necessarily only) interested in a choice of the transformation parameters, such that the spatial centre of the new coordinate system coincides with the worldline of observer $B$. I assume this is possible, because both transformations transform the world line of $A$ into a straight line. Maybe then the velocity vector will not be normed any longer, but this seems to be just an issue of proper time. Is this a system which doesn't correspond to any free physical observer because the time evolution in this system is unnatural? If so, what might be a cause/force on a physical observer to move through spacetime according to this and how does he experience the world around him (the observers $A$, $B$ and light rays)?

Denver News Crew Accidentally Livens Up Broadcast With An Inappropriate Image 'Borrowed' From The Web
from the of-the-two-titles-presented,-I-know-which-one-I'd-be-more-likely-to-read deptIt's a well known fact that many people mistake Google's image search for a license-free stock photo repository. Of course, many people are unaware (or simply uninterested) in the nuances of copyright law, making liberal borrowing of images the norm, rather than the exception.
On the other hand, members of industries that rely on the protection of copyright laws shouldn't have to be reminded that "running an image search" is not even in the same neighborhood as "properly sourcing a photo." This distinction is even more important if you're in a business that relies on integrity, along with various IP laws. Having a staffer just grab an image from "The Internet" for use during a news broadcast could, at the very least, put you in the situation of having to pay up and apologize publicly for using someone else's photo without permission. At worst, you could find yourself on the receiving end of a lawsuit.
Somewhere in between these two situations lies another scenario: the photo picked hurriedly from the lineup presented by Google Image search is quite possibly THE WORST PHOTO THAT COULD HAVE BEEN CHOSEN. Charles Apple of the American Copy Editors Society has the details on how grabbing a random image resulted in some serious embarrassment for a Denver news team.
The folks at Denver's ABC-affiliated 7News last night ran a story about the David Petraeus sex scandal, his "mistress," Paula Broadwell, and her biography of Patraeus, All In.
Except instead of pulling an actual copy of the book cover, somebody just ran a Google search and pulled in the first thing they found. Which, unfortunately for 7News, was an altered copy of the book cover.
On the left, here, is the actual book cover. On the right is that image 7News pulled, most likely from a Google search.
Now, this sort of thing could have happened to anybody, but it really shouldn't be happening to professionals. But, as Apple points out, this sort of sloppy work is far from rare and he's got a long, long, incredibly long list of links to prove it (scroll towards the bottom of the page). A combination of careless image sourcing and less-than-thorough copy editing resulted in a situation that was likely much, much funnier to everyone not employed in certain positions at KMGH-TV. The news director has since offered an apology for the "regrettable and embarrassing error" and has promised to take steps to make sure this sort of mistake doesn't happen again.
Well, we'll see. Apple's list contains a lot of repeat offenders. In the meantime, KMGH-TV can be happy it accidentally added a bit of levity to its viewers' lives and added to the pantheon of screw-ups forever enshrined on the web.

INDIANAPOLIS — Braxton Miller signed jerseys, helmets, photos and scraps of paper.
Fans greeted him with comments such as: "Looking forward to next year, man!" and "Glad you're healthy. We respect you a lot at Nebraska" and "How's Urban (Meyer)? Is he intense?"
For one photo, Miller held up a baby. For another he formed an "O" with his arms for a four-person O-H-I-O.
"Say: 'Undefeated!'" Click.
"Say: 'Go Bucks!'" Click.
Miller peered into the camera phones — eyes open, mouth closed.
"I smiled for the first 50," he protested, chuckling. "My cheeks be hurting, man."
His father, Kevin, observed the scene Saturday at Big Ten Fan Fest, where Miller was lauded as the league's Offensive Player of the Year.
"He doesn't like a lot of attention," the father said.
Fair enough. But he does have reason to smile.
Miller is one of three finalists for the Chicago Tribune's Silver Football, awarded to the Big Ten's best player and voted on by the league's 12 coaches. (The other finalists are Nebraska's Taylor Martinez and Wisconsin's Montee Ball, and the winner will be revealed Friday.)
Miller is just a sophomore. And his coach, Meyer, said in a telephone interview, "I've never coached a guy going into his junior year with so much room for growth. He won Big Ten (Offensive) Player of the Year and we still have no idea — I don't think anybody does — how good this guy can be."
Nate Ketchum thinks he's pretty good already. He attended the Oct. 20 Purdue-Ohio State game and was so distraught to see Miller suffer a neck injury that he cried and insisted on leaving the game. Nate is 6.
Wearing Miller's No. 5 Ohio State jersey, the boy was asked why he's such a fan: "Because he's fast!"
Miller is fast. He's elusive. He's shifty. All adjectives to describe a running back.
But he's a quarterback who earned the Big Ten's Griese-Brees award despite completing a modest 58.3 percent of his passes.
"He can throw the ball," Meyer said. "He has very good mechanics, a very strong arm, a great release. He has all the tools. And he's a smart guy. We just have to break (some bad habits). For 18 years, he has been a better athlete than everyone else and gotten away with it.
"I remind him almost every day that my goal is to make him not an athlete who plays quarterback but a quarterback who can run."
Meyer is famously demanding with his quarterbacks and blunt when speaking about them.
After Miller completed just 7 of 19 passes in a 35-23 victory at Penn State on Oct. 27, Meyer said of Miller: "I'm very disappointed. He could be better than he is. Fundamentally, he gets so tied up in knots. … Pulling away from center was very sloppy, and he panicked at times."
Miller acknowledged that the criticism "sometimes bugs me" while offering this list of what he needs to improve: "Getting down when I'm running the ball, becoming a better scrambler, not getting too jittery in the pocket."
And here's a sign that he and Meyer are on the same page.
Asked to rate his fundamentals on a scale of 1-10, Meyer replied: "Right now a 7."
Miller gave the same number and was pleased that it matched Meyer's, saying: "Man, two more eyes."
Miller planned to ease into his Ohio State career, hoping for an apprentice year behind Terrelle Pryor in 2011. But after Pryor got suspended and Joe Bauserman was benched, the 18-year-old Miller was thrown into the fire — headfirst.
"I didn't even know what I was doing," Miller said. "I made some plays, listened to the coaches, did what I could."
On a windy day in Champaign, he completed 1 of 4 passes. And the Buckeyes still beat Illinois.
"This year, it's easy," Miller said of playing the most demanding position on the field. "It comes quick when you have experience."
Miller also has plenty of experience signing autographs, and he didn't balk when a woman in a Wisconsin shirt sidled next to him for a picture. He has even posed with fans wearing Michigan gear.
"I was in their shoes at one time," he said, "looking up to somebody who plays sports. I don't want to be disrespectful to anyone. You never know. It might be someone I meet later on in life."

The current exhibit at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History titled "Santa Cruz Collects" could be renamed — with all due respect to the late TV host Art Linkletter — "Collectors Amass the Darndest Things."
This is one show that every antiques hobbyist should catch, between now and Nov. 25.
Visitors may be amused at some of the objects on view. Garden gnomes, toasters, American flags, decorated eggs, animal skulls and even dryer lint vie equally for viewers' attention. These collections are owned by a cross section of Santa Cruz County individuals and institutions.
But this fascinating exhibit also poses some serious questions: Should we call ourselves hoarders, or are we collectors? Do we need museums to store such artifacts? What do these saved items tell us about ourselves?
Check it out for yourself at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History, 705 Front St., Santa Cruz. Admission: $5 adults, $3 seniors, free first Friday of the month. Hours: 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday-Sunday. Details: 831-429-1964 or www.santacruzmah.org.
Rocks star
Geodes, faceted stones and fossils will be displayed at the 45th annual Harvest of Gems and Minerals Show, put on Sept. 15-16 by the Sequoia Gem and Mineral Society.
At the yearly extravaganza, you'll see lapidary artists and other artisans who create such objects as stone boxes, bookends, clocks and toy marbles. Some exhibits will feature impressive dinosaur bones and fossils.
To partake in the fun, be at the Community Activities Building, 1400 Roosevelt Ave., Redwood City. Hours: 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Admission: $3. Children under 12 get in free when accompanied by an adult. Parking is free. Details: 650-755-8753.
East Bay shopping
One of my favorite places to shop for vintage treats in the East Bay is Quail Country Antiques in Walnut Creek. While it's fun to head that direction and poke around the jam-packed collective, I admit it's sometimes easier to shop online. In fact, these days it makes sense.
When you go to www.quailcountryantiques.com, you'll encounter a number of links. Go to "catalog" for a list of current offerings. Right now, I'm eyeing this "cute as a bug's ear" German candy container shaped as a rooster that is tagged $125. One nice thing about this emporium is that any item purchased online may be returned for any reason within 72 hours.
Prefer to shop in person? Then visit Quail Country Antiques, 1581 Boulevard Way, Walnut Creek. Phone: 925-944-0930.
A show with a view
Within the past year, the Goat Hill Fair has twice dazzled Bay Area collectors with its picturesque Santa Cruz Mountains setting. If you have yet to take in the neat rolling hills, sturdy barn, stately farmhouse, old-growth trees, super vendors, fine vittles and a herd of live goats, be sure to attend the celebration.
Here you search for goodies frequently labeled "shabby chic," "country," "primitive," "repurposed," "French" or "farmhouse." These trendy wares are popular with decorators and designers.
The fair is at Yoder's Goat Farm, 24915 Soquel-Old San Jose Highway, Los Gatos. Hours: 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Sept. 15 and 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Sept. 16. Admission: $5. Park at Loma Prieta School on Summit Road using the free shuttle, or park nearby in a meadow. If you choose the latter, know there's a steep hill to contend with. Details: 408-221-5054, www.goathillfair.com.
All aboard
If you recall a time when the sound of a distant train whistle was deemed romantic, engineer your way over to the Los Altos History Museum on Sept. 22 and 23 for Train Days.
You'll see all sorts of intricate model railroads. Adults, like me, will journey back in time to when toy trains were all the rage.
The Los Altos History Museum is stationed (behind the library) at 51 N. San Antonio Road, Los Altos. Hours: 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Members: free. Nonmembers: $10 family donation suggested. Children under 12 must be with an adult. Food vendors will be on site. Details: 650-948-9427, www.losaltoshistory.org.
Shopping alert
The Lace Museum will conduct its semiannual sale Sept. 14 and 15. The event serves as a fundraiser for the nonprofit. Look for lace-edged handkerchiefs, pillow cases, table runners, bedspreads, napkins and lots more.
The museum is at 552 S. Murphy Ave., Sunnyvale. Sale hours: 9:30 a.m.-4 p.m. Details: 408-730-4695, www.thelacemuseum.org.

We think the iCade is quite the awesome. Atari obviously thinks so too because they're making their own version. Called the Atari Arcade Duo Powered, it gives your iPad a classic arcade joystick and buttons to play classic Atari games.
Games like Asteroids, Centipede, Missile Command, etc. are infinitely more fun and nostalgic when played with the joystick. There's no details on how it works but it's probably similar to the iCade in that it connects to the iPad through Bluetooth. Judging from the bare bone looks of the Atari iOS controller, it might even be cheaper than the $100 price of the iCade. Available soon. [Discovery Bay Games via MacRumors]

Robin Thicke may have gotten his hands on more than he intended to when he posed Aug. 25 for a post-VMA party picture with one Lana Scolaro.
First the 36-year-old singer was busted as Mr. Grabby Hands when a mirror in the background of the photo revealed him holding on to her butt cheek in a more-than-friendly fashion.
Now, Scolaro — who says she met Thicke a week before at another party — has told Life & Style that the "Blurred Lines" singer cheated on wife Paula Patton with her.
That very same night.
With Patton right there with them, chatting with her. As so often happens in the middle of, you know, cheating.
"I don't think he cared what she thought," Scolaro, 20, told the tabloid. "I was with him the whole night!"
Just as Patton was with him all night, a rep for the actress tells Gossip Cop, adding that the couple "are happily vacationing in Florida" now.
Scolaro alleged an often-interrupted make-out session that happened after the three moved from the first party, at 1 Oak, to another in a suite at the Greenwich Hotel. "He was grabbing me," she said, and trying to get her into bed.
Camp Patton-Thicke disagreed.
"It's just a girl looking for some attention," Patton's rep told L&S. "Paula and Robin aren't concerned."
Just looking for attention, hm? Sounds like another 20-year-old girl who was hanging out with Thicke that night.

The pastel-colored ball of yarn made its way from one tiny hand to another at the Camp Kesem "empowerment ceremony," with each camper unraveling their part of a common, painful thread.
What bound them together was cancer — which had come barreling into the lives of the children who attended the camp hosted by Johns Hopkins University students and recent alumni. For many, this week was the first time they realized that they weren't the only ones navigating a childhood derailed by the disease.
"It's just me in my entire school," said 9-year-old Kelsey Dodson of Annapolis, whose father died of stomach cancer in May. "It's really hard for them to understand. So it's good to be with other people who can help me understand."
Sixteen children, ages 6 to 13, from across Maryland and other states took part in the program for children whose parents have suffered or are suffering from cancer. The weeklong camp ended Friday.
The Hopkins chapter of Camp Kesem is among the most recent to join a network of 37 university-run programs across the nation. The students raised funds to match a grant provided by the Livestrong Foundation to help families treat their children to free summer fun. According to the foundation, nearly 3 million children are living with a parent who has cancer.
Organizers with the national campaign say that the two greatest concerns for families dealing with cancer are often money and the emotional effect on children. The Livestrong Camp Kesem project sought to address both when the program began at Stanford University in 2000.
"What we see is that parents worry about their kids, and they want to know that they're having fun," said Abby O'Leary, national program director for the Camp Kesem program. "For the families that we serve, there's such a financial burden, and things like summer camp, trips to amusement parks are the first to go."
The Camp Kesem program — Kesem means "magic" in Hebrew — also promotes student leadership.
A group of Hopkins students and recent alumni set out last year to bring the camp to Maryland, campaigning to match the $10,000 grant with fundraisers that included selling lollipops in class and online auctions.
Nicole Jiam, who graduated from Hopkins in the spring with a degree in neuroscience and will continue in the medical school at Hopkins in the fall, said that Maryland's status as a hub for cancer treatment and research means there is a need.
"I had heard 'children' and 'cancer' and 'life-changing summer,' and I knew that this was something we could be passionate about," Jiam said.
"It made me realize that there's a whole population that could be overlooked in this experience. That there are kids who are burdened by this, who don't just get to be normal, don't get to just be kids."
Tasha Bates, who moved her family to West Virginia from Texas to be closer to world-class facilities for her husband's melanoma treatment, said the camp is exactly what her 11-year-old son — who would rather go to doctors' appointments with his parents than to any recreational activity — needed.
"The last few years, he's been a lot more involved with everything, and lately he's been a lot more stressed because we're getting closer to the end," Bates said.
"He doesn't have any friends or kids his age who have had the same experience that he has. The main thing he needs to know is that even though his dad is going through something awful, he's normal, and there are other kids who are going through it, too."
Jiam and the classmates she recruited to help staff the camp, most of whom are studying to work in medicine, said the experience has taught them things about the medical field that they couldn't learn in a classroom. Many of the camp counselors also shared their experiences, and shed many tears, with the campers.
"I came in here thinking I was going to be the role model, the one to change their lives," said Yoon-Kyu Sung, who graduated this spring from Hopkins with a degree in public health. "But they've taught me so much. They're just so strong."
This week, screams of glee and camp chants rang out through the grounds of Elks Camp Barrett in Annapolis, where children — known by camp names such as "Little-Bits," "Phelps" and "Skittles" — reflected on the years, and for some mere months, since they took on the burdens of adulthood.
"It's been hard because it's different around the house, and we don't have as much money coming through the door," said Kelsey's older brother, Austin Dodson, 13. "I've been accidentally acting like the man of the house, and my mom has to tell me to act like a kid. I feel like a kid at this camp."
Other children said they would leave the camp experience with renewed optimism.
"I wanted to meet some new friends who had similar experiences as me, and I did," said 10-year-old Carson Frederick of Montgomery County. "Everything happens for a reason; you have to look at the good side of things — like today."

At Laguna Honda, lower-tech but human-paced, Dr. Sweet had the chance to practice a kind of "slow medicine" that has almost vanished. Gradually, the place and its patients transformed the way she understood the body. Alongside the modern view of the body as a machine to be fixed, her patients evoked an older notion, of the body as a garden to be tended. God's Hotel tells their stories, and the story of the hospital, which — as efficiency experts, politicians, and architects descended, determined to turn it into a modern "health care facility" — revealed its truths about the cost and value of caring for body and soul.
In God's Hotel: A Doctor, a Hospital, and a Pilgrimage to the Heart of Medicine Dr. Sweet lays out her evidence—in stories of her patients and her hospital—for some new ideas about medicine and healthcare in this country. In trying to get control of healthcare costs by emphasizing "efficiency," we've headed down a wrong path. Medicine works best—that is, arrives at the right diagnosis and the right treatment for the least cost—when the doctor has enough time to do a good job, and pays attention not only to the patient but to what's around the patient.
About The Author
Dr. Sweet is an Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, and a prize-winning historian with a Ph.D. in history. She practiced medicine for twenty years at Laguna Honda Hospital in San Francisco, where she began writing.
"This is a remarkable, poignant portrait of a committed physician on a quest to understand the heart, as well as the art, of medicine." - Library Journal
"Sweet's watershed book ambushes and transforms you with its visionary middle way between the irreplaceable skills of doctors and the benefits of holistic medical knowledge and twenty-first-century technology and standards." - Booklist
"The author's compelling argument for Laguna Honda's philosophy of 'slow medicine' will make readers contemplate if perhaps the body should be viewed more as a garden to be tended rather than a machine to be fixed." Kirkus Review

Any teen who is into beauty knows the names Elle and Blair Fowler, but may better know them as AllThatGlitters21 (Elle) and juicystar07 (Blair). They are sisters who post beauty and style videos on YouTube, have almost 2 million subscribers and 320 million views. They've branched out into acting, designing, and now are creating a makeup line just in time for the holidays. They sent us their Skylark Lipgloss and I was thrilled to try it. Ava, the pinker of the two, was not very flattering on me. It kind of looked like I had rubbed pink frosting all over my lips, which unfortunately for me, isn't a good look. But, next I tried on the Sofia lipgloss, a berry color, and it is amazing! The saturation was perfect and it wasn't goopy or too thick. The wand on both of the lip glosses picks up a lot of product and is very easy to use. Also the color lasts for a very long time, even if you eat or drink. I think the Ava lip gloss would look best on blondes, and the Sofia lipgloss look nice on brunettes so it's the perfect set for everyone.
For the Tween:
Blue Star Bazaar, Lolo Seahorse bag, $30
When I first moved to the beach in 5th grade, I was looking for fish in the ocean with my net. My parents always told me and my brother they would pay us a $1 if we caught one. I think he may have caught just one over the years, but I never did. Thinking back, I have a sneaking suspicion the $1 / fish was a ruse to simply get us to stop bugging them so they could chill and read a book. But, one time I did catch a seahorse. I know, it was crazy and I should have gotten $100 for catching it, right?! It was a tiny one, and I was dying to keep it, but we decided to throw it back in the ocean to be with its mom. I've always thought about it and wondered if I should have kept it. Deep down, I'm sure I did the right thing *sigh*.
So, because of actually finding a seahorse {I mean what are the odds?} I love them. And I have an obsession with cases and bags. Absolute obsession. I love all makeup bags, pencil cases, and purses. And my favorite color is teal, which you know if you've ever seen my room! It's covered in teal. Blue Star Bazaar is a treasure trove of cuteness that has products for both teens and moms, plus dads! But my search ended when I saw this blue seahorse makeup case ($30) by Lolo. It was love at first sight since it's beyond cute, and the perfect size for either makeup, personal items, or pencils! It's a gorgeous color with the most adorable seahorse on the front! although the inside is not waterproof, it is a light color, which I love since it makes finding stuff that falls to the bottom so much easier. And I also like the contrast of colors between the teal and pink and the patent leather feel of the outside of the case. Adorableness. It may not be a word, but it should be.
For a Friend:
Apple Cider & Candy Cane chapstick limited edition at drugstores and mass retailers.
Chapstick takes me back to being in grade school. It was one of the first "beauty" items my mom let me buy and it made me feel so cool and definitely so "teen"! I'll always have a fondness for Chapstick because of that, and I'll always think of my grade school friends and how we would put on our "lipstick"! What's odd is that I haven't changed that much from then... I still use it more often than lipstick and am somewhat addicted. I put it on first thing in the morning, and last thing at night because I hate, despise, & abhor chapped lips. Usually, I'm not a fan of apple flavored items, but since Chapstick sent us Apple Cider and Candy Cane scents, my mom and I tried them both and made our choices. We both chose the opposite of what we thought we would like. She loves apple cider drinks and I love candy canes, but I chose the Apple Cider Chapstick and she chose the Candy Cane Chapstick! So this is a total exception for me. This Chapstick moisturizes my lips, lasts for a very long time, and smells great! It's not flavored (boo!) but I think this would be the cutest little stocking stuffer or gift for a friend. It would also be cute tied to the top of gift. I like how it isn't waxy and gives a hint of the holidays without being overpowering. It keeps my lips moisturized, without being gooey or messy and without me having to worry whether or not anything is going to come off on my latté cup or on my teeth. It's the ultimate winter accessory for staying moisturized, and with a little bit of the holiday spirit! Perfect for younger teens through any age, because Chapstick really knows no age limits.
For the Glamour Gal:
Sonia Kashuk Gilded Cage Six-Piece Holiday Brush Set, Target.com, $24.99
This over the top glam set is perfect for the ultimate girly girl. The cage clutch is my absolute favorite part of the set and I can't wait to use it for some fancy occassion, like New Year's Eve or Prom or my big Birthday dinner. If this was all that was included for the price, it would be a bargain, but the brushes by Sonia Kashuk are nice too. I love how the cage-like pattern from the clutch is repeated on the brushes in black and gold and how the brushes are amazingly soft. The wide fan brush is nice to clear off excess blush and there is a a powder brush, a blush brush, and all-over eye shadow brush, a detail eyeshadow brush, and an eyeliner brush. This is beyond a basic set, but is the perfect starter set for a budding fashionista or a replacement set for someone like me who only had a beginner set and really needed some more advanced brushes to experiment with as I try more makeup. I'm impressed with the quality of the brushes and the fact that they didn't leave any bristles behind when I used them. This would be a great gift for any age teen who uses makeup and is learning how to use different brushes.
My mom was impressed that we got two useful and pretty items for 1 price.
For the Natural Skincare Beauty Gal:
Liquid Mineral Foundation, AdvancedMineralMakeup.com, $44
I have very sensitive skin and I also don't like when makeup feels heavy, but this Liquid Mineral Foundation felt light and worked really well! I felt like I wasn't wearing anything which was great, and I still got really good coverage. I occasionally like to even out my skin tone, but hesitate to use a foundation because most break me out. Advanced Mineral Makeup gave a sheer coverage that looked very natural leaving an invisible slightly dewy finish that complemented my skin instead of trying to mask it. It is very easy to blend in with your fingers, making it all the better in my book! I have light skin and tried French Toast and it blended perfectly with my skin tone.
Mom approves because it contains a natural sunscreen and is paraben-free, which is probably why I didn't break out or have any reaction.
Pressed Mineral Powder in Taylor, AdvancedMineralMakeup.com, $38.50
My face is the normal t-zone in winter: dry and peeling sometimes, but looks oily by the end of the day along my forehead and nose and sometimes my chin. And I'm prone to breakouts. When I don't want to wear a foundation, which is most of the time, but want to look "finished," I like to try a powder. I was impressed with how natural the Pressed Mineral Powder looked and how it didn't look chalky, or like I had anything on my face - it simply looked like my skin was perfect and flawless. In other words, like I might be wearing this powder a lot, but I think my mom might steal it.
Mom approves because it's all natural, and oil-free, meaning my skin can breathe it's also anti-inflammatory and helpful with my sensitive skin and my blemishes, plus it's antibacterial.
I'd recommend the powder for a glam girl who prefers the more natural look or needs to cut down on shine. For those who prefer a more finished look most of the time, I'd recommend you buy the Liquid Mineral Foundation.
For the Sentimental Type, or Active Teen:
Mascara Amplified, blinc.com, $26.00
My mom is already a fan of Blinc Mascara and will tell virtually anyone how wonderful it is. It's kind of embarrassing, but I understand why she loves it now. I tried the latest Blinc Mascara Amplified and it lives up to its name. Blinc is not your typical mascara, it's a tube mascara which means it coats each eyelash in tubes of mascara instead of just coating them in black stuff on top of them. It's the wildest thing when you go to take your mascara off -- it actually looks like your eyelashes are coming off (they are not) since the tubes come off. It doesn't flake off like normal mascara, which is good for contact wearers, active people, girls who play sports, and girls who cry at movies or anytime. Your mascara won't run during ordinary life. It will only come off when you want it to come off. And that is super-cool to me. The brush is completely different from the brush that is with the regular mascara: it is thicker, fuller and has more bristles. Other mascaras make my lashes look darker, but this mascara really makes me look like I was born with longer lusher lashes.
Mom loves it because it works and doesn't run, even when she does.
For anyone fighting blemishes:
EraseZit Pencil, Judith August, $16
If the EraseZit Pencil is good enough for Heidi Klum, it's good enough for me! Actually, I didn't know Heidi Klum was such a huge fan of the EraseZit pencil until after I had tried it, and it wouldn't have made a difference, since I already loved it. Breakouts plague me at least monthly. I'm always looking for something to hide them, but hiding them can typically make them look worse, instead of better. Sometimes the only thing worse than a blemish is a blemish with bad cover-up. And then they look even worse when they react to the cover-up. But the Judith August EraseZit Pencil amazingly solves both problems. The pencil blended perfectly with my skin tone and since it had Tea Tree Oil and Camphor, it actually helped clear the blemish while it covered it. It stayed on all day, it didn't flake, and it didn't look cakey. I actually love this pencil cover up and also was impressed that for the price it came with a sharpener, which is handy since the pencil is wider than most pencils. I recommend this EraseZit Pencil for teens and adults who need to hide acne or blemishes or even under-eye circles.
Mom liked how it hid her under-eye circles better than any cover-up she's ever used. Ever.
For the Beach Lover who has everything
Panasonic Precision Body Shaver, $29.99
Shaving is an absolute hassle. It's a constant battle (I'm losing) and one that, I have to admit, I get tired of fighting. So any product that can help me is welcome. The Panasonic Precision Body Shaver is unique and different from my regular razor. It's an electric razor, but it's tiny. It pivots, which means I can use it on my bikini area, or under my arms; it doesn't need to be used with water, so I don't have to be in the shower to use it. I'm thinking it's the perfect razor to use in between waxes or under or to reach spots I miss while shaving and only find after I've dried off... like my knees! It's gentle and doesn't pull on the hair. It's not super-strong, so I'm not sure I can use it for my entire legs, but it's perfect for touch-ups or when I'm in a hurry. Dry shaving was new to me, but it's amazing how quick it is. The best feature is that the blade is supposed to last up to 2 years and you can rinse it clean under running water.
Other great beauty ideas:
Nail polish - pick her favorite color and go crazy with all hues of it!
Eyeshadow sets, or individual pots of fun colors
A manicure set or a mani/pedi gift certificate
Facial gift certificate
Body lotion
Gift cards to Sephora or Ulta

Morgan Stanley CEO Says Banking Industry Is 'Overpaid'
(NEW YORK) -- Morgan Stanley CEO James Gorman has folks in the banking sector buzzing with his comments that the industry is "still overpaid."
"There's way too much capacity and compensation is way too high," Gorman told the Financial Times. "As a shareholder I'm sort of sympathetic to the shareholder view that the industry is still overpaid."
A spokeswoman for Morgan Stanley declined to elaborate or make Gorman available for comment. Gorman's doing pretty well though. He received a $10.5 million pay package in 2011, a pay cut of 25 percent from 2010. He's was the 23rd highest-paid CEO in America last year, according to Bloomberg Markets magazine.
Earlier this year, Deutsche Bank co-chief executives Anshu Jain and Juergen Fitschen said compensation reform was one of their three key objectives.
Gorman's comments come a week before the major U.S. banks report their third-quarter earnings. JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo will be the first with their earnings releases next Friday, Oct. 12.
Back in July, Morgan Stanley reported a 50 percent drop in its second-quarter earnings to $591 million. The company reported revenue had dropped to $6.95 billion from $9.21 billion the prior year.
Brian Foley, pay consultant and managing director of Brian Foley & Co. in White Plains, N.Y., said with little evidence in the financial markets that the tide has turned, Gorman's comments seem somewhat foreboding.
"My sense is that what's coming in the third quarter is likewise not going to be pretty or even uglier," he said.
Anthony Polini, analyst with investment firm Raymond James, said he agreed with Gorman that there are too many banks in the U.S., but he disagreed that the banking industry as a whole is underpaid.
"The banking industry is overregulated, not overcompensated," Polini said.
Although, Polini conceded, it depends which industry one uses as a comparison.
Comparing to professional athletes and film stars would make most bankers look like they got the short end of the stick, he said.
By international standards, Polini said executives at Bank of America, the second-largest U.S. bank measured by assets, are not overcompensated. Its CEO, Brian Moynihan, receives compensation of $8.1 million, which includes a salary of $950,000, $6.1 million in performance-based stock, $420,000 worth of tax and financial advice and use of the company's aircraft.
"It's all who you compare them to," he said. "I'll take a stand and say I think teachers should make a lot more money."
Polini also points out that the large number of U.S. banks, approximately 7,000 which are dominated by a handful of national corporations, could mean greater competition and choices for consumers.
"Excess capacity is a bad thing on one hand, but if you're looking for a low-interest bank or convenience, even if you live in the suburbs, you probably don't have to drive to a bank," he said. "You could probably walk to one."
Low interest rates have been negatively affecting banks, but Polini said he expects banks to report positive quarterly earnings in terms of commercial loan growth and mortgage banking.
"It doesn't mean that the outlook is going to get much better. We still have a weak economy and a low-interest rate environment," he said.

PERRYSBURG, Ohio, Oct. 3 (UPI) -- An Indiana man has been charged with setting a fire that damaged a mosque near Toledo, Ohio, police said Wednesday.
Charges were filed Wednesday against Randy Linn, 52, of St. Joe, Ind., in municipal court in Perrysburg, Ohio, The Toledo Blade reported. They include two counts of aggravated arson, one of aggravated burglary and a weapons charge.
The fire began around 5 p.m. Sunday in a prayer room at the Islamic Center of Greater Toledo, Perrysville police Sgt. James Gross said. The blaze set off the sprinkler system, dousing the building with water.
Members of the mosque said repairs may cost as much as $1 million.
"The community is scared," Ammar Alo, a Toledo lawyer, told the Blade. "Everyone is on guard for fear of it happening again.
Investigators say Linn appears to be the man seen on footage from security cameras at the mosque Sunday. Little information has been released about him or his possible motives.
Linn was arrested in Fort Wayne, Ind., Tuesday. He was being held in the Allen County Jail pending an extradition hearing.

So I am just past week 2 of the Dukan Diet (see part 1 here).
Not much to report really. I am now in the cruise phase which is one day of proteins only and one day of vegetables and proteins (obviously no potatoes or anything starchy).
I have totally cheated. I have had vegetables with my meals every day this week, and hell – I even had some sweets and rice on one of the days.
But what I did notice when I had these "transgressions" – there was no rush, no euphoria as I ate the disgustingly cold rice (thanks Barburrito) with some random meat. I had some sweets – meh. I've had 2 almond croissants in the Kitchen for days and I so far, have no urge to eat them.
Normally when I am on a diet, these types of food call me, they tease me, they shake their moneymakers in my face until bite the bullet and stuff them in my gob. Now, I am indifferent.
Has this diet has made me hate food – or has food lost some kind of power over me?
I don't know.
Other things I've noticed this week:
1. Sleep is bad
Well not EVERY night, but mid week I was tossing and turning – someone who goes to bed at 4am and wakes at 8am should not have a problem sleeping but I did.
2. Skin is soft
Wow – the skin on my body is like a baby's bottom. So soft so smooth, I am going to start charging people who want to cop a feel. The skin of my face is better too.
3. Eating banned foods or eating too much hurts
When I ate the small quantity of rice, I ended up with the worst gas buildup and OUCH! So much stomach pain. It's like my body doesn't want carbs and the like in here anymore.
And, a small amount of carbs made me bloat like nobodies business. URGH.
And constipation…I'll say no more.
4. Dukan Desserts are rubbish
If you bought the Dukan Recipe book you will notice that the deserts are a ROYAL WASTE OF TIME. So I gave up. Yoghurts it is.
5. Food shopping is so expensive!
Last food bill was DOUBLE because lean ham and chicken, (lean cuts of anything is expensive) eggs, fish is EXPENSIVE. There is still a Mr C to feed so I bought him lots of tinned hotdogs – he seems to like that, bless him.
Anyway, I am adapting the Dukan diet to my own ends – my new philosophy: stick to proteins where possible and some good veg and carry on using sweeteners and avoiding obviously bad food (like burgers, crisps, chocolate and really fatty stuff).
However, proteins only is a killer hence I will keep having a bit of veg each day but still omitting carbs, which I am not really missing. I mean, people lose tons of weight just by cutting out carbs so I don't see why I have to leave out the carbs AND vegetables.
Weight loss this week is -4lbs.
So I am on track. I need to do some exercise really to speed things along and get into SHAPE, which is not quite the same as just dropping the lard.
Have you tried Dukan?
How are you guys getting along with your diets, if you are dieting?

For determining the quality of SF6 gas
Special features
The SF6 gas analysis instrument model GA11 is an innovative and inexpensive instrument for determining the SF6 gas quality. Model GA11 can measure the concentration of up to seven parameters.
DesignA clearly arranged menu structure and a 7" colour touchscreen allow for intuitive operation. Sensors for purity and humidity measurement are already built-in in the standard version. Optionally, model GA11 can be extended with a SO2 sensor for determining the SF6 gas decomposition products. In addition, four other sensor slots are available for retrofitting other sensors, e.g. for hydrogen fluoride measurement.
The measured SF6 gas can either be pumped back into the compartment of the switchgear or an external gas cylinder or it can be directly collected in a gas bag. In each case, emission into the atmosphere is avoided.
The described treatment of the measuring gas can also be carried out in the battery mode if mains voltage is not available.
MeasurementTo evaluate the collected data, it is recommended to provide meaningful names for measuring points. With the GA11 it is possible to import a list of measuring points edited via PC quickly and easily.

The College has developed the following policy for students who wish to personalize their rooms through a student constructed loft. Students assume full responsibility for verifying the condition of their lofts on a regular basis and for tightening nuts and bolts, replacing parts, or reassembling lofts as may be necessary.
These guidelines are for the protection of residents and their guests.
Students who are constructing a loft from scratch or have purchased a used loft must submit a Loft Construction Registration Form to the Residential Life Office within two days of completing construction. Lofts will be checked for compliance with this policy by staff from Residential Life and the Buildings and Grounds department. Normally, loft checks are completed within the first three weeks of classes in the Fall. Staff complete additional loft checks as they are informed of the existence of the loft, normally within one week. If a loft is found to have been constructed in violation of the above stated policy, the occupants of the room will be informed. The occupants will then have two (2) days to make the noted corrections. If the owner(s) fail to comply, the loft will be removed by the College at the owner's expense.
When the loft is considered in compliance with this policy, it will be considered registered with the College. The College will not tag or provide notification to residents that lofts have been approved as the College does not make any guarantees about the safety of individual lofts.

How Does She. This blog has excellent photos and helps. It really is the easiest recipe we have ever made. No kneading required. That's a good thing because kneading scares people and we don't want to scare anyone! This recipe makes a large batch of rolls. We often make one pan of dinner rolls and another pan of sweet rolls.
The cinnamon rolls were rubbed with soft butter, sprinkled with brown sugar and cinnamon. If you liked raisins you could add them too. We don't. I like to frost cinnamon rolls with Caramel Frosting
Orange rolls are made much the same, spread with butter then rub the zest of 2 oranges into a cup of sugar. Sprinkle the orange sugar over the buttered dough and roll and cut. Bake and frost with:
Orange Cream Frosting. This will be the best thing you have ever eaten.
1 package cream cheese, very soft
1 cup powdered sugar
zest from two oranges
dash salt
1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
Beat together the soft cream cheese, powdered sugar, zest and juice.
In another bowl beat 1/2 cup whipping cream until stiff peaks appear.
Fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture. What you have here is something close to heaven. Swirl it onto your warm orange rolls and enjoy the deliciousness!

I have very little ability to "see in my head" what something is going to look like. I am working on Drunkard's Path blocks (wedding ring variation). I had the bright (?) idea of taking a digital picture, printing multiple copies, cutting them out and laying them together. Success, I now have a better idea of how it is going to look
Apologies--ink is low in printer so this isn't very clear.

Harvard earned its first overtime win in two years when
Tetreault found the back of the net in double overtime (Gil
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Danielle Tetreault found the back of the net with 1:39 remaining in double overtime to lift the Harvard women's lacrosse team to a 9-8 win over No. 13 James Madison Tuesday afternoon at Soldiers Field Lacrosse Stadium.
Jess Halpern led the Crimson attack with three goals, as Melanie Baskind and Tyler Petropulos registered two. Baskind and Tetreault paced the defensive efforts, with Baskind picking up a game-high three ground balls and Tetreault recording a game-high five draw controls. Freshman Kelly Weis picked up her second win in goal while making 10 saves.
Halpern's hat trick moves her career goals total to 116, seventh most in Harvard history, and places her ninth on the program's career points list with 138. Tetreault's game-winning goal, meanwhile, was the fifth of her career.
Harvard (2-1) won 13-of-21 draws on the day but JMU (3-2) outshot the Crimson 25-22 and held a 15-7 advantage in turnovers. A total of seven Dukes scored in the game led by Amy Roguski's two. Harvard has now beaten a top 20 opponent in each of the last four seasons as JMU entered the game ranked 13th in the IWLCA Coaches Poll.
Harvard took a quick lead as unassisted goals by Halpern and Baskind put the Crimson up 2-0 just 3:46 into the game. Weis kept the margin at two with a pair of saves off JMU free position shots, but a Dukes score with 16:57 remaining made it a 2-1 game. Kaci Starkloff tied it at two before Petropulos and Halpern scored within 50 seconds of each other for a 4-2 advantage.
Weiss made her third save off a free position attempt, leading to Halpern's third goal of the half and a 5-2 Harvard lead. JMU closed the half with a pair of goals, however, putting the score at 5-4 at the break. The Dukes outshot the Crimson 14-10 in the first half and held a 7-4 margin in turnovers, but Weiss made seven saves between the pipes to help Harvard to the lead.
Baskind regained a two-goal advantage for Harvard, 6-4, with her second score 2:05 into the second half. With the score at 6-5, Ellen Gleason made a defensive save after a shooting space penalty was called on Weis, allowing Micaela Cyr to push the score to 7-5 in the Crimson's favor off a free position attempt. Petropulos notched her third goal, off a feed from Chelsey Newman, 57 seconds later to give Harvard its largest lead of the day, 8-5, with 16:43 remaining.
Weiss continued to come up big in goal, making a pair of saves after JMU had cut the lead to 8-6 to preserve a two-goal advantage. The Dukes finally pulled within one, 8-7, on a Monica Zabel goal with 6:44 to go. Harvard was to waste most of the remaining time but a turnover by Petropulos gave the Dukes the ball back with 1:00 on the clock.
JMU ran a set play out of a timeout for Zabel who fed Roguski at the right of the goal for the game-tying score with 0:28 remaining. The Crimson won the ensuing draw but turned the ball over again, sending the game into overtime.
The teams went scoreless through the first overtime to force a second, sudden victory overtime period despite the Crimson firing three shots. The draw was controlled by Tetreault and the Crimson began running its offense, with Baskind earning a free position shot. Her shot was sent wide but Harvard retained possession, and in the ensuing action Tetreault was fouled to set up the game-winning goal with 1:39 remaining in the overtime period.
Harvard returns to action Saturday, March 10 when it heads out on the road for the first time this season to take on Penn at 12 p.m.
Game Notes: Jess Halpern moved into ninth place on Harvard's career points list with 138 while her 116 goals ranks seventh in program history … Danielle Tetreault's game-winning goal was the fifth of her career … Kelly Weis' 10 saves were the most for the team since Katherine Martino '10 recorded 12 on May 5, 2010 … Tuesday's victory marked Harvard's first overtime win since defeating New Hampshire, 10-9, in triple overtime March 9, 2010.

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - European Union governments will debate a cut of at least 50 billion euros this week as the starting point for negotiations on the bloc's proposed 1 trillion-euro ($1.3 trillion) long-term budget, a source familiar with the issue said.
The cut will be proposed in the latest EU negotiating text on the bloc's spending plan for 2014-2020, but is unlikely to be deep enough to satisfy Britain, Germany, France and other net budget contributors.
They want strict limits on EU spending to reflect the austerity imposed by national governments to reduce debt, and called for cuts of 100-200 billion euros to the total proposed by the EU's executive, the European Commission.
The proposal is also likely to anger Poland and other former communist EU countries who are the major beneficiaries of EU funds, and oppose any cuts to the Commission's blueprint which they argue is vital for their future economic growth.
"As I see it now, the reduction from the Commission proposal will be 50 billion euros plus. That will be the basis for negotiations," said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The new EU negotiating text will be the first to include firm figures, and marks the start of the decisive phase of talks between governments hoping to reach a deal at a November 22-23 summit of EU leaders.
The text will be used as the basis for bilateral talks ahead of the summit between governments and European Council President Herman Van Rompuy, who will chair the November talks.
In order to generate the proposed savings, the revised document will specify cuts to all areas of EU spending including agriculture, infrastructure investment and research.
That could create rifts between countries calling for budget cuts, with France keen to exclude farm spending from any reduction, while Britain, Sweden and others want a higher share of EU spending on research and other measures to boost growth.
The text is unlikely to include clear proposals on the fate of Britain's multi-billion euro annual budget rebate, which the Commission and others would like to do away with by 2020.
The issue is expected to be left for EU leaders to haggle over at their November meeting, at which Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron has threatened to use his veto if the rebate is not maintained.
At about 1 percent of the bloc's GDP, the EU budget is relatively small compared with overall public spending in Europe, but negotiations often lead to bitter disputes as countries seek to maximize their returns.
Around three-quarters of EU funds are currently spent on subsidies for farmers and on building new motorways, airports and other infrastructure in the bloc's poorest regions. ($1 = 0.7733 euros)

Stable Channel Update
38 comments :
I was hoping this update was Chrome 23 for the beta channel.
Sergey Glazunov - 15000 more bucks...is that guy from another planet or what?!?
I will miss the wrench :)
Anyone else noticed problems with hardware acceleration? The fonts are too bright, not as sharp & clear as in previous versions. Tried disabling it through about:flags - no joy.
After update Google Dashboard page is empty.
Why does Chrome still use Flash 11.3?
Who was the bonehead who got rid of the wrench?
I hate having to click on advance settings to clear cache. Just put it with the rest of the settings.
Excellent update. Thanks Chrome team!
Echoing what Alexander said above, Google Dashboard seems down, thus it's a bit difficult to verify and manage Chrome Synced Data.
Go to https://www.google.com/dashboard/
Note how the page is empty.
Please pass along to the proper Google Team.
My Google Dashboard page seems OK. Version 22.0.1229.79 "stable channel".
Fixed. Thanks folks. :-)
This release broked finger touch compatibility un Windows 7 like proper right click behavior (sustained touch) and the loss of finger flicks for back-forward and copy/paste. Please fix it, ty.
what did you make in this version with fonts?, they very thin and not maleficiated, return please old fonts, they were much better, at new it is not convenient to use the browser became

Seems this also breaks some parsing of @media rules :(
Found out the hard way this morning as our whole system suddenly started getting both screen and module rules applied to it!
Admittedly the rules were syntactically invalid (I blame an old yuicompressor) in that the " and " part of the rule didn't have a space after the and (e.g. " and(min-width:...")
I accept this is invalid, but it's a pain that this change suddenly appeared and none of the other browsers or older versions are bothered. But invalid is invalid so we should fix it all the same.
WebGL seems to be broken for me. html5test.com score dropped from 437 to 422, it says that 3D Context is not supported. http://workshop.chromeexperiments.com/cloudglobe/ and ro.me both say my card/browser is not supported although WebGL worked fine in Chrome 21
New fonts are absolutely terrible looking right now. What happened there? I'm on win7 x65.
Could you please clarify on CVE-2012-2897. Is it a known issue and guys from Documill just found an exploitation vector or this is a knew vulnerability in Windows?
Looks like i will have to go back to firefox for some time until the font issue gets fixed.
Like Ilja Nedilko I have blurry font issues. I am using Windows 7-64, if this is an "optimization" for Windows 8 or something like that please make sure you don't break it for any other OS. It is very annoying, please fix this quickly.
It seems there's a problem with cleartype on this version.
I still have to zoom 200% on my retina running win7x64 to have readable Fonts :(
Chrome 21:
Chrome 22:
On win7 x64
I am not sure the cuase, but I have two issues with this latest version.
Previously, if I click on a link that points to a .csv file, it would download to my PC. Now it opens the link in the window showing the contents of the .csv file.
I cannot find a handler for this unwanted result.
I first saw this bug over a year ago but was fixed soon after I first saw it. It has returned.
In some HTML forms, when you click submit, the form is submitted twice.
The first time it sends data properly but the subsequent submit contains no POST data so the second entry is missing the post data.
Having two entries alone is a problem, but the second post containing no data makes it not just annoying, but ugly.
My applications work fine in older versions of Chrome and current versions of IE and FF.
I have to make a ton of backend changes to validate the second post now. My form does the check to validate the data before submit so I have nothing in place to validate on the backend.
With this new bug I have to do a ton of coding to validate the backend as well as the front end now.
I am not sure if it somehow relates to a second submit button in the form (used to carry out different actions on the backend) and/or if another button is in the form (even witht he type='button' is specified).
Not sure, but this is wreaking havoc on my life at the moment.
WHAT'S UP WITH THOSE FONTS!? ffs fix it! pls kk thnx!
- This comment has been removed by the author.
i got just one suggestion
the font in the browser is weird and i my eyes are suffering looking at the words =-=
please do fix it asap.
Espn video stopped working with this update. All the other flash sites work as far as I can tell, ESPN doesn't work though.
Whats happened to the font ! its all gone fuzzy and faint looking.
Needs sorting asap as its impossible to use and will consider using another browser.
Thanks for the fix, the bold fonts are now clear, they haven't been since version 17.0.963.83
Looks like the viewing of motion jpegs has been fixed in this version. this broke several releases ago in that it would only show 1 frame and not keep loading the new ones. Thanks Google
22 seems to have broken/removed the option to hide the download bar, which is a real pain for usability.
Sadly the GDI leaks still present in this version.
Echoing phybertech:
When I click on a link that points to a .csv file, it opens the link in the window showing the contents of the .csv file. It used to download and allow me to automatically open Excel. I cannot find a handler for this unwanted result.
This is a massive inconvenience, as I download CSVs all the time.
I am having the same .csv problem too. Any known work arounds?
its nice post about the security thanks for providing such useful information actually there should be proper councling about the Security Course it provides a better security tricks along with to brighten someone's career.....
Hi, nice post. I have been wondering about this topic, so thanks for sharing. I will certainly be subscribing to your blog.human growth hormone
This update seems to have introduced some nasty rendering issues. Still debugging CSS to see where exactly the problem is. Same pages render fine in every other major browser I have tried. I hate these frequent automatic updates!

Meet AVA, a hologram projected onto a human-sized piece of plexiglass. The idea is that AVA, at some time, will respond to questions, offer answers, and provide reliable guidance in multiple languages to travellers who have just landed and need help orienting themselves and understanding local services.
Sound familiar? Sounds to me like Avina, the
AI virtual intelligence from Mass Effect, who provided you with helpful, anodyne answers to common questions. Her long-winded dialogue tree provided the opportunity to snarf a fistful of potato chips while still, technically, advancing the story of the game.
It's the name more than the job description that makes this such a funny coincidence for gamers. AVA currently just gives out a pre-recorded message when approached, but her maker, AirportOne, says she'll develop voice recognition down the line. There are concepts for AVA in different settings, such as a museum, a business or medical information assistant, or a fashion model in a retail location. The Turian AVA is probably due sometime in the next 150 years.

"We own a large catering hall near the Las Vegas Strip and are one of the largest independent catering companies in Nevada, thanks to Traeger Grills. We now own six SMK200s to keep up with our volume. These are the most durable machines I have ever seen. Not once in over 1,500 events have we had a breakdown. Thanks, Traeger—you are the grill of the future!"
~ John Christoffersen, Owner
Smoke'n Sam's, Las Vegas, NV
Our company, Great Western Barbecue Supply, is an Authorized Traeger Distributor. Let our experts help you select the best Traeger Commercial unit for your foodservice needs.
Traeger's three commercial units are built for restaurants, catering professionals, competition cooks and anyone wanting to produce high-quality outdoor-cooked barbecue with minimal effort. Traeger Smoker Grills feature a patented electronic control system that automates the cooking process, delivering consistent, delicious results every time. By eliminating the guesswork and hassles of other barbecue systems, a Traeger lets you save on labor costs and free up time to focus on your customers. And your bottom line.
Financing Available!
Here are just three of the many reasons why you should be operating a Traeger Commercial Smoker Grill:
1. Better Flavor
Whether it's steaks for 40 or brisket for 400, food cooked in a Traeger tastes better than food cooked with gas, charcoal or electric heat. And Traegers are designed to not over-smoke food like many other smokers are prone to do. Traeger's even-heating convection action ensures that food is moist, tender and cooked exactly the way you decide.
2. Lower Cost
Three appliances in one, a Traeger smokes, grills, even bakes. And Traegers cost much less than smoker-only units of similar capacity. Whether your needs call for a stationary unit or one of our mobile smoker grills, a Traeger does much more, for much less. Why pay extra?
3. Superior Fuel
Traeger hardwood pellets—available in a variety of species—are the sole source of heat and impart a delicious flavor to smoked, grilled and baked foods. Conveniently sealed in easy-to-handle, 20-pound bags, our pellets are clean-burning, sanitary, economical and 100-percent pure. They are easier and safer to transport and store than other types of barbecue fuel.
