I happen to be a recent owner of an iPod Touch 4G. This is a longer story and going to be a different post. One of the things I do is to subscribe to free content on iTunes. I subscribed to a free pilot show, watched it and then deleted it from the iTunes list of TV shows. To my surprise, it reappeared uploaded from the iPod again. Since there is no command to delete it from the iPod directly, I was at a loss. Now i tried the following - delete it from iTunes, then sync, and when it warns you that non-sync content will be deleted from the iPod, say yes (!). Make sure you synced before, deleted the show again, and the only thing different is the one show. That will get rid of it. Gee, could be easier, couldn't it ?

For everyone who had someone in their family suffer from Alzheimer's: BBC News - A new study suggests high doses of B vitamins may halve the rate of brain shrinkage in older people experiencing some of the warning signs of Alzheimer's disease. http://www.bbc.co.uk/go/rss/int/news/-/news/health-11232356

Thank you Daisy

        Team South Side Salazars – You are awesome. Congratulations on running the Chicago Marathon !!!

Preparing for and actually running the marathon has been an awesome and very inspiring experience. It has not been easy, but well worth the effort ! During the training, I have learned a lot about running, my bodies reaction to this kind of physical stress and healthier living in general. I feel generally much more healthier, fit and energetic than before. MAUI – I flew into Maui on Friday afternoon and had a day to rest before the race. The evening before we had a pasta party to load up on carbohydrates. 1:30am on Sunday morning, my eyes opened – minutes before the 2 alarm clocks and the wake up call I had scheduled. All clothes, gels, and other things laid out the night before, I went about getting dressed and loaded up with all equipment (6 rows of shotblocks black cherry, 10 salt packs, 4 water bottles with gatorade, shoes with running tag, running shirt with running number securely attached, YO STEVE in big letters written on it !, sweat arm band, running hat, 70 sunscreen (...
