The Key lime (Citrus aurantiifolia) is a citrus species with a globose fruit, 2.5-5 cm in diameter (1-2 in), that is yellow when ripe but usually picked green commercially. It is smaller and seedier, with a higher acidity, a stronger aroma, and a thinner rind, than that of the Persian lime (Citrus x latifolia). It is valued for its unique flavor compared to other limes, with the Key lime usually having a more tart and bitter flavor.

PS: @DannyD. Don't know if you saw it, but I lost my beloved laptop, "Mr laptop" at the end of last summer. It was tragic, he suffered a broken hinge, and was sent away for repair - to no avail. When it was discovered that his part was, "too old" to be replaced, he was put down, out of his misery.
I was sent a new, shiny replacement, who is fine, "Mr Newby." But I miss my old friend who taught me the joys of laptopping in the days of hand-held apps...
I vote for a decent retirement (if you can avoid using the 'burial' term) for your guy...
RIP Mr Laptop, wherever you may be...

Yellow, bright yellow. I asked Carla but she said, "I don't know nothin' 'bout no limes." I thought she might know because she loves lemons so much, but she let me know that limes are not lemons. Had to look it up.
That's all I got.

A record store owner has found what he calls "the holy grail of 78s" in a box of old albums he picked up for $50.
Jerry Weber said he discovered a copy of the second song ever recorded by Mississippi blues legend Robert Johnson, "I Believe I'll Dust My Broom," put to disc two years before Johnson's mysterious death in 1938 at age 27.
The rarity, whose value Weber pegged at $6,000 to $12,000, was tucked in a collection of otherwise worthless, water-damaged old platters that sat in a hallway at Jerry's Records for days before anyone looked at them.
Johnson was an itinerant singer and guitarist from Hazlehurst, Miss., whose landmark recordings would influence a generation of rock 'n' roll icons, including Eric Clapton and the Rolling Stones. Little is known about his life and death. In popular legend, Johnson sold his soul to the Devil at a Mississippi Delta crossroads in return for an extraordinary ability to sing and play the blues.

Helen Hunt will receive the Spotlight Award at the upcoming Palm Springs International Film Festival.
Hunt, an Oscar-winner for "As Good As It Gets," is garnering strong reviews for her turn in "The Sessions" as a therapist helping a man in an iron lung lose his virginity. Many awards watchers are predicting that she has a good chance at earning her second Academy Award nomination for her work.
The awards gala will take place on Saturday, January 5 at the Palm Springs Convention Center. The Festival runs from January 3 to January 14.
Camille N. Brown is a supple dancer who hails from California. Lindiwe Dlamini is a singer from South Africa. They would seem to have little in common. Except they do.
It can only be called a royal connection: Both have spent the last 15 years in the ensemble of "The Lion King" on Broadway. That translates into more than 5,000 shows since 1997.
In 15 years, Dlamini has welcomed a baby girl and Brown has been married and divorced. They've suffered the deaths of parents and cheered when their castmates gave birth or got married. They've bid goodbye to performers and welcomed fresh ones. They've danced at backstage Halloween parties and shared potluck dinners.
Brown and Dlamini still remember their auditions for the show, back in the year when Hong Kong was handed to China and designer Gianni Versace was murdered.
More than nine miles (14 kilometres) from the striped crosswalk made famous by the Beatles album "Abbey Road," this drab transit station in east London keeps drawing confused fans of the Fab Four into unwanted jaunts through a gritty, industrial area just south of London's Olympic Stadium.
Abbey Road Station has no relation to the Beatles' Abbey Road Studios, the birthplace of the eponymous album and a London tourist landmark. The glass-and-metal station is wedged among a train depot, warehouses, and gloomy public housing projects, a world away from the leafy, suburban street pictured on the album's cover.
London counts at least 11 Abbey Roads, with potential tourist pitfalls in neighbourhoods such as Barking or Bexleyheath, both of which are on the outer edges of central London. In the British capital as elsewhere the common street name harkens back to the medieval priories that once dotted the area.
But Abbey Road Station, which opened last year, is the only one in London to bear the name. Given the Beatles connection, some have urged the capital's transit authority to modify its maps.
Transport for London officials said Tuesday there are no plans to change the station's name.
Hank Azaria, who provides the voices for a host of characters on "The Simpsons," including Moe Szyslak and Chief Wiggum, is suing over the rights to one of his characters.
Azaria and his How to Pictures, Inc. filed suit Wednesday against "Leap Year" actor Craig Bierko in U.S. District Court in Central California on Wednesday, saying that Bierko is jeopardizing a potential movie deal by falsely laying claim to a voice that Azaria claims he created nearly 30 years ago.
According to the suit, Azaria created a voice for a "a colorful baseball announcer who speaks with peculiar speech inflections" in 1983 or beforehand, and introduced the voice to Bierko after meeting him in 1990.
In 2010, Azaria used the voice in a Funny or Die skit in which he played a sportscaster named Jim Brockmire, which employed the voice in question. (The suit also notes that the Brockmire character employed other attributes, such as a plaid jacket and a back story about his wife abandoning him.)
The video became a hit, the lawsuit says - so much so that Azaria was able "to entertain discussions to develop a feature-length motion picture based upon the Jim Brockmire Character who uses the Azaria Voice."
It also drew the attention of Bierko, who subsequently contacted Azaria and claimed to have created the voice either independently or in collaboration with Azaria, the suit says. (The complaint says that Bierko never made clear which it was, and that Azaria denies the claim in either case.)

Cablevision Systems Corp has been accused in a $250 million lawsuit of continuing to bill and failing to offer rebates to more than 1 million customers who lost TV, Internet or phone service because of Hurricane Sandy.
The complaint, filed with the New York State Supreme Court in Nassau County, said Cablevision had not met its contractual obligation to offer credits to customers who lost service for more than 24 hours.
It said the Bethpage, New York-based company instead offered rebates only to its "most favored" customers on a discretionary basis, and only after they requested them.
The lawsuit seeks class-action status, rebates, punitive damages and a halt on future billing for periods where there are lengthy service outages.

A Las Vegas Strip restaurant bearing the initials of celebrity financier Donald Trump was briefly shut down after health inspectors found violations including month-old caviar and expired yogurt.
DJT, the signature steakhouse at the Trump International Hotel, reopened Nov. 2 with a restored "A'' grade - several hours after Southern Nevada Health District officials logged 51 violations during a routine inspection.
Inspectors reported finding outdated, expired, unlabeled, mishandled and improperly stored food, according to a summary posted on the health district's website. The closure was first reported by KTNV-TV as part of a "Dirty Dining" segment focused on area restaurants.
While ready-to-eat food can be stored for up to seven days, inspectors at DJT reported finding the old caviar and yogurt, duck that dated back to June, veal stock and tomato sauce that was almost two weeks old, and expired peanut dressing and black bean chili.
Inspectors found no measures to destroy parasites in undercooked halibut and salmon, and noted that raw tuna was being improperly thawed. Icicles were found in a faulty freezer.

"We've been focusing on sugar-sweetened beverages. This is something new," Cynthia Ogden, one of the study's authors and an epidemiologist with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, told the Associated Press.
The study results, which were published on Thursday, claim that Americans get about 6 percent of all their calories from soda and other sweetened drinks, with about 5 percent coming from alcoholic beverages.
And while the CDC said the results should raise concerns amongst consumers, a representative from the alcohol industry claimed just the opposite.
"This research shows that the overwhelming majority of adults drink moderately," Lisa Hawkins, a spokeswoman for the Distilled Spirits Council, said in a statement.

The British Columbia government has expressed regret to the ancestors of a First Nations man who was wrongfully hanged nearly 150 years ago.
Aboriginal Affairs Minister Ida Chong participated in a feast of reconciliation with the Hesquiaht (HESH-quee-at) First Nation on Saturday, and band members say they have forgiven the actions of the colonial government in 1869.
John Anietsachist (A'NEAT-sa-cheast) and another man named Katkinna (KAUT-keen-ah) were hanged on the beach in Humais (HUGH-mus) Cove, also known as Estevan Point, about 30 kilometres north of Tofino.
Victor Amos says his family has kept the story about his great-great-great-grandfather Anietsachist's innocence alive for 143 years through oral stories and songs.
Anietsachist and Katkinna were accused of murdering crew members from the ship John Bright, although historians have suggested faulty translations of Hesquiaht testimony played a part in the convictions.
