XPNet CTO a Fraud, Editor Fired from InfoWorld

Over the weekend, InfoWorld editor-in-chief Eric Knorr announced that Infoworld had severed ties with one of its editors, Randall Kennedy, because Kennedy had been "misrepresenting himself" to the world as Craig Barth, the CTO of Devil Mountain Software (also known as exo.performance.network). It was this Craig Barth who made the outrageous and false claims about Windows 7's memory usage - and several other false claims in the past as well.

Snow. We got 15" or so Tues & Wed, and the high winds and snow did not stop until around 9pm. Thursday was spent digging out once again.

And they are expecting more snow Sunday or Monday. 2-4" additional. *sigh*

FYI, when a DiGiorno frozen pizza says 25-28 min, after 62 minutes you might wanna check on it.

The bottom and edges of the crust were so tough I could not cut them, so I broke it and tore it apart into rough sections, then we scraped the toasted toppings off and ate it without the crust. It was quite yummy, but we baked a second pizza correctly anyway, as toppings aren't all that filling.

AuntJeni.com Articles Pet health. I'm reading the one on Copper Toxicity and wondering if the lamb/rice food we used to have Maggie on could have contributed to her liver failure. We switched her to venison/potato because we thought it was an allergy, but perhaps it was the copper. Scary.

The venison food seems to be healthy for her, but at $60 per 16 lbs it's a bit expensive. I'm looking for a less expensive food that will be as good for her, but it's looking like the venison might be the best thing for her, as it is also low in copper where lamb is very high in copper...
