It's Saturday night.
And it's been raining all day, with snow of 2-4" expected Sunday night.
What does that mean?
It means that Saturday night was spent inside watching a stupid movie.
Hence it is now stupid movie Saturday.
Now let's be clear that I waste many summer evenings on stupid movies too, but I didn't think that I could actually classify this time until today.
Especially since I watched a really bad movie today.
So, what movie did I waste my evening watching?
Tuff Turf.
Ever heard of it?
Well it's got James Spader, Robert Downey Jr., and Kim Richards.
Those are the big names.
Of course it was Robert and James before they were big, and Kim at the end of her peak, well until Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
A role which one could hardly consider a career resurgence.
This movie was a a low-budget, pre-Brat Pack picture that is typical of some of the early 80's movies. The loner attracts the negative attention of the local gang leader, as well as seeking out the attention of the gang leader's girlfriend. A big no-no if you want to keep your face looking pretty...James, er...Mr. Loner.
The gang makes his life miserable, but he insists on remaining who he is, and woos the gang leader's girlfriend by showing his perseverance and steadfastness. She does not make his life miserable, and he, of course, shows her what a narrow existence she has.
There's also dancing (seriously), and lots of music. I think the producers and director tried to make this a 1980's version of Fame meets West Side Story featuring "Juliet" in Madonna-style clothing
Never fear, however, it's the love story that is similar to West Side Story/Romeo and Juliet, as neither of the protagonists dies.
What might be one of the more interesting parts of the movie is that Jim Carroll appears in it.
The one true unexpected bright spot.
Well, now we've seen it, and this movie can be taken out of my Instant Queue.
As the movie finished, hubby said, "Well that's two hours of your life you'll never get back."
He's not wrong.
Curse you, Netflix.

Miami, FL (August 13, 2014) – State health insurance marketplaces are beginning to report 2015 pricing for Obamacare plans, and on average, consumers are in for a 2 to 23 percent premium hike next year, depending on their health insurance carrier and state of residence. HealthCare.com Chief Executive Officer, Jeff Smedsrud, says that annual price increases are just the beginning of higher health insurance costs, and consumers need to start shopping for new plans.
Those enrolled in a state or federal exchange will likely see the greatest increases, and many of those individuals have their coverage set to renew automatically.
"Automatic renewal of health insurance plans was established to make yearly enrollment easier," said Smedsrud. "However, consumers should shop around. Every individual who enrolled in an Obamacare plan should pay particular attention to four areas – price, subsidy amount, networks and current plan design."
In addition to premium increases, consumers will need to address potential subsidy changes. A premium hike may mean consumers are eligible for a larger subsidy – if their income remains static. Despite receiving more tax aid, healthcare consumers could pay more per month if their current health plan's premium increases substantially. Individuals also need to be mindful if their income will increase in 2015. If there is an increase, their subsidy will need to adjusted, and the financial outcome might not be as favorable.
Another changing factor are physician and hospital networks. Network availability changes each year, and it's important for individuals to check with the network they currently use to confirm if their preferred doctor will still be part of the same network in 2015.
Adjustments to plan benefit levels are another surprise most consumers will not be expecting. Deductibles, coinsurance and copays could increase within allowable limits on existing plans in 2015, making it harder for those with high deductible plans to hit their minimum limits and pay more out of pocket than they were required in 2014.
"Unlike car insurance that usually maintains the same benefit amounts year after year, Americans need to understand their Obamacare plan will continually change. If consumers keep the same plan for ease of renewal, they might pay substantially more in 2015 or miss out on better coverage for less money," said Smedsrud. "HealthCare.com encourages consumers to begin shopping now and find out what other plans are on the market. A few hours of online shopping could save more than $1,000. Those that take the time to research options are more likely to enroll in a new health insurance plan during open enrollment that has minimal cost increases, and perhaps better coverage than the plan they have today. And, remember, because of health care reform, no one can be denied coverage because of pre-existing medical condition," said Smedsrud.
HealthCare.com will be unveiling its new website design and functionality by October 1, 2014.

Jim climbing down
Lush upper valley
Pu'u Pie'i
The initial climb was rather brutal and by the time we ascended to the open
ridge we were pretty winded. But I had an early dinner to go to so we could only
stop to gather our breath, then on we went! Once we passed the Crouching Lion, the
ridge hike became nice and open. There were a few places where you had to climb but
nothing that bad.
Ascending into the rain forest the view became quite obscured and we found ourselves
just trudging along the muddy trail with occasional views off either side of the ridge.
There was quite a bit of moisture on the leaves so we got pretty soaked walking
through them. Then before we knew it, we were at Turnover! Pretty anticlimatic
if you ask me. It was like we're hiking along and then suddenly the defined trial
ends! If there was more time it would have been fun to press on, but not today.
Heading back down the return trail was also pretty uneventful. And if we thought
it was muddy coming up... It was like Konahuanui all over again. Trying to
avoid the mud holes several inches deep, then eventually deciding to just walk right
through them! We made good time on the way back so we stopped for a snack along the
ridge surrounded by octopus trees. Afterward it was just a quick descent through
some hala, then through the old graveyard and onto the road back to the car!
Date: December 19, 1998
Time Duration: 4.5 hours
Difficulty: Black
Danger: Blue
Notes: You've got to be in pretty good shape for that first climb, but once you
attain the initial peak (near Crouching Lion), it isn't so bad. The next section is
a nice hike with really nice views of Kahana Bay and the surrounding area. There are
a couple sections where you have to climb up some small rock faces which I like because it
gives my legs a chance to rest a bit. Once you enter the trees, it gets pretty
I don't know if this hike every dries out because Kahana Valley is usually quite wet,
so be prepared for mud, especially on the return portion into the valley

As Tim mentioned this morning, we have had another exciting day! At one point we had four Ospreys in the bay! First of all, male Osprey 28(10) was hanging around eating a fish. The female was food soliciting, but 28 didn't take any notice. Perhaps in frustration, she left the nest and came back with a large fish head, which we think she must have picked up off the shoreline. This is quite unusual behaviour.
Soon after, another Osprey did land on the nest, but it wasn't 28, it was 25(10), a female Osprey who has visited the Manton Bay nest once already. She hung around for a while, then it seemed that 25 and 28 were trying to oust the Manton Bay female from her nest! Our poor female has had a lot to contend with recently! Another Osprey, 01(09), was also spotted in the bay, but he didn't stick around for long.
Here is a clip of the Manton Bay female and 25 on the nest, and a couple of screen-shots. Tomorrow we will have much better photographs of the action from John Wright.
We can confirm that all of the breeding Ospreys from last year are now back, save for 5R.

Arguably, music is best when it fails to conform. Say What? Basically, embracing nonconformity – aka not trying to sound like your colleagues or contemporaries – opens the doors to more artistry and distinguishing oneself from everything and everybody else. That's exactly what Nashville-based "scamp rock" band Fable Cry does – 'its own thing.' See – when Miley Cyrus claimed she was going to "Do her thing" on "Do My Thang" she actually had a point. Okay, okay – that's beside the point! But what isn't is the fact that one will be hard-pressed to find an act that's as unique as Fable Cry these days. But then again, theatrical scamp rock isn't exactly household…
So where's the proof of this great nonconformist hope? Take song/video "Dead or Alive (For Now)" and it's easy to see why Fable Cry is 'something else' – in a truly visionary perspective. First of all, the video is CREEPY AS HELL (literally) – there's an undeniable frightening, chilling nature from the makeup, to the mannerisms of the musicians. That itself doesn't even account for the music, which is brilliant, but also matches the creepy, enigmatic sensibility given off by the video. That's what the combination of a minor key, strings, and once more "daring to be different" does.
"Dead or Alive (For Now)" isn't the only musical/visual offering by Fable Cry. The band has a full-length album, entitled We'll Show You Where The Monsters Are. Somehow, that eerie title seems fitting based upon the lyrical, musical, and visual story imparted on "Dead or Alive (For Now)." Hey, the band themselves describe the album as follows: "A one-way ticket to send you down a spooky path to your Grandmother's house of nightmares." That's definitely charming…said no one ever.
Whether or not charm is part of Fable Cry's arsenal, intrigue is definitely part of the modus operandi. "Onion Grin" is 'all over the place' in the most eccentrically genius way. Couple the stylistic-shifting opener with its aforementioned follow-up, and that's one mean one-two punch. That doesn't even account for the likes of "The Good Doctor" with its tongue-in-cheek approach that both ambitiously and naturally lure the listener in.
"You Ain't My Baby No More" embraces rockabilly showing yet another facet of Fable Cry that might not outright show itself just hearing "Dead or Alive (For Now)." "The Zoo of No Return" on the other hand, balances 'groove' and theatricality exceptionally, ultimately creating something that's epic and vibrant. Keep listening, and the idiosyncrasies of "Set Me Loose" are celestial… in the most hellish way possible.
If the music playlist has grown incredibly mundane as of late, Fable Cry just might be the solution – the savior of trendiness and archetypical conformity. So, is Fable Cry unlike any band you've heard before? Saying 'yes' may open up a 'can of worms' but Fable Cry are definitely onto something that many musicians aren't as of late – innovative spirit! Definitely check out the hella ambitious We'll Show You Where the Monsters Are – you won't be disappointed! Maybe the New York Music Daily said it best – "the band kicks ass."
Favorites: "Onion Grin," "Dead or Alive (For Now)," "The Good Doctor," "You' Ain't My Baby No More" and, "The Zoo of No Return"
Fable Cry • We'll Show You Where the Monsters Are • Zach Ferrin • Release Date: 8.25.15

I used to take the proverbial out of my husband for the way he'd constantly be fiddling around with his 'system'. He'd scribble his thoughts and ideas into notebooks, various sizes of filofax, various digital devices, but nothing really sticks and he's always changing his mind. It seemed quite hilarious and very odd to me, until a week or so ago. As 2007 prepares for the final curtain and 2008 waits in the wings, I also find myself in need of a comfortable and reliable way of recording my food diaries and other bits and bobs.
This year, as I settled into doing Slimming World, I played around with various different ways of keeping a food diary and planning shopping lists. I had a Hipster PDA for a while, various notebooks and two different sizes of Filofax. I ended up settling with a Paperblanks diary that the Organisational Master himself bought for me back in Nottingham last year. It worked a treat. So, you'd think the solution would be easy… get another one? Yeah, I thought that too until I couldn't bloody find one. Our local suppliers seemed to run out of any diaries around, er, Christmas…
In the absence of the obvious answer, same again for '08, I went on the hunt for a suitable replacement. It seems no other diary has the same layout as the Paperblanks, and most seem to think that weekends don't need as much space as the rest of the week. I looked at Filofaxes, and in a moment of utter lunacy bought a cheap 'personal' size one. I was happy with this for a while, until I tried using it. It just doesn't feel right. There's not enough room, the damn thing's too big, and it's not a Paperblanks diary, dammit!
So today I've tried going the way of the DIY Planner, making my own special custom diary with space to write everything down, little tickboxes for what day I'm doing and… feh, it smacks. Frankly it requires more time using Excel than I'm willing to when I'm not being paid.
Michael, it's no good. I've got to get a Paperblanks. Nothing else is going to work. You know how it is. That's why you'll be asking for your A5 Lyndhurst back in a couple of months, and this time I promise I won't take the piss. I know how it feels now.

I really needed to put an updated post of Emilie on here and then I realized I hadn't shared her cute Valentine pictures! Can I just say I love college towns? Seriously, there are so many entrepreneurs here offering such good deals. Like this Valentine's deal, $10.00 for 10 minutes, and I came out with 15 photos! I am always an eager beaver when it comes to people needing to practicing. I have had so much fun searching out these deals.
This photo shoot was so fun though. Vanessa had two adorable valentine sets. I got there and pulled off Emilie's boots and put her black church shoes on, only to find out that she had outgrown them, oops! I still stuffed her chubby feet in them though. Unfortunately Emilie did not give us one of her big cheesy smiles. She was a bit unsure of the whole process, as you can tell. Maybe if her Dad was there she would have, hmm I'll have to make sure he comes next time. She did however love to rock the bear in the rocking chair.
THE OUTFIT. Oh my goodness, the outfit. I about died when my Mom gave this to us. The brand is Jillian's Closet. I am so tempted to get an American Doll that looks exactly like Emilie in this outfit!
(I just found out that Vanessa has a cute set for Easter photos now too! Check out her facebook page in the link below)

Gastronomy and travel have been connected for hundreds of years and everyone that visits Spain agrees: is full of satisfying gastronomy experiences.
The different climates found in the Spanish regions and the cultural influences that have existed over the centuries, make it a country where you can find a wide variety of cuisines.
From north to south, from the Basque Country to Andalusia, Spain has one of the richest gastronomies in the world. In CaramelTrail we can arrange gastronomy experiences in Spain that will satisfy all palates!
Chef-Guided gastronomy experience

Tapas & Pintxos Tours in Spain
Tapas are the perfect example of great things that come in small packages. Madrid, San Sebastián, Sevilla or Granada are some of the best cities to take an unforgettable "Tapas Tour" (as named in Madrid or Andalusia) or "Pintxos Tour" (named so in Northern Spain).
We will visit the best "tapas and pintxos bars" and sample a unique selection of tapas and wines.

Unique gastronomy experience in a luxury "Cortijo"

Good Sport!™ A Sportsmanship Card Game™ is a fun, interactive educational tool. The game follows along much as the Yahtzee dice game where you check off each item on the scorecard as you role the dice. In this case, instead of rolling dice, you pick up a card from a deck and read it aloud. If it is an example of good sportsmanship, you check it off on your scorecard. If it's an example of poor sportsmanship you leave your scorecard blank for that turn.
There is also a deck of discussion cards on sportsmanship topics. You pick up a card and either answer the question on the card or discuss the topic listed on the card, then check it off on your scorecard.
The single dice piece is used for qualifying to pick up a discussion card. It is also used at the end of the game where the player has to roll a "1" as in "Fun is #1" to complete the game.
Good Sport!™ A Sportsmanship Card Game™ utilizes these learning concepts:
Game Contains:
66 ACTION cards: specific examples of "Eight Great Sportsmanship Traits" & "Good Sport"
Bonus Behaviors
24 DISCUSSION cards: specific questions & topics to stimulate personal discussion of
sportsmanship in youth sports.
A SCORECARD: players "check off" sportsmanship traits & behaviors as they draw ACTION
cards & respond to DISCUSSION cards.
What experts are saying …
I highly recommend this teaching tool to educators, parents, and
children alike.
-- Dan Doyle, author, The Encyclopedia of Sports Parenting
Dr. Burnett has done it again. What a great learning tool. With the
Sportsmanship Card Game, win or lose, everybody wins.
-- Michael Pfahl, Founder, TLC² Volunteer Management Strategy
Finally, an interactive, engaging approach to teaching sportsmanship.
--Dr. Richard Stratton, Editor, Coaching Youth Sports website.
All children and adults involved in youth sports owe Darrell Burnett a million
"thanks".. This wonderfully innovative, sportsmanship card game is a terrific
example of "
outside the box" thinking inside a box. Your family's—and community's—sports culture will greatly benefit
-- Bob Bigelow, Former NBA player. Youth sports activist and reformer.
Author of "Just Let the Kids Play".

The 25-year-old man and two friends were on a pre-dawn hike along the rim of the crater of 5,633-foot (1,717-meter) Mount Batur when he fell in, local police chief Capt. Made Oka said.
Rescuers spotted the man's body inside the dry crater at a depth of about 500 feet (150 meters), Oka said. Officials believe the man did not survive the initial impact of the fall.
"Rescuers are now in the process of evacuating the body," Oka said, adding that poor weather around the crater may slow the efforts.
Mount Batur, which has erupted 26 times since 1840, is about 40 miles (60 kilometers) northeast of the provincial capital, Denpasar. It last erupted in 2000 and is considered an active volcano. It regularly lets off steam.
Oka said the route the tourists were hiking is considered safe and accidents there are uncommon.

Reoccurring low sound issue affecting two sound cards
I had this issue before, all of a sudden the sound coming from my computer gets really quiet even though everything is maxed out. Before, it seemed to have been triggered when I moved my computer from one room to another. I wasn't able to move it back right away but when I did it was still happening. I removed the sound card I have, replaced it, tried different PCI slots, tested my onboard sound card, etc but to no avail. Eventually it fixed itself and I have no idea what caused it.
Earlier today my sound was working perfectly fine. I left my computer (on the entire time) to do other things and when I got back to it the volume is again really low. When it was happening before the sound seemed to be crackling on higher volumes but there's no crackling that I can hear this time. I again tried my onboard sound card and the issue was also affecting it. I normally use headphones but also tried speakers and the issue is still there on them too. Like I said though, my computer was on the entire time I was gone and nothing was changed but this suddenly started happening.
Considering it's affecting both sound cards I imagine it has to be an issue with something else, like my motherboard or Windows 7 itself. I wasn't able to find what was causing it last time though so honestly I have no idea.
Edit: Update, I found a pair of USB headphones and their volume seems fine. I hope this means something. I assume that with USB it's not going through either sound card (though that doesn't make too much sense to me) but what that means I don't know.

Hello and welcome Sakonoso now to me it seems that the audio through the USB port might be coming from the board audio and not the sound cards hence why it is ok. Having said that usually the on board stuff is usually cut off if there is a sound card installed.
Now it seems to narrow it down a little if this is the case and there are some things you can run sfc and a chkdsk to see if there is anything going on in the system
https://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/433-disk-check.html if you need to - run the latter using the /f and /r "switches"
The other thing to do is update the drivers if you havent done so already
|My System Specs
|31 Jan 2015
Welp, I was using the USB headset all day and just tried my third party sound card again and it's normal volume again. Do you have any idea if disk errors (like the ones you were telling me to use commands to look for) could resolve themselves automatically like this? Honestly to me it sounds like that telephone setting that will automatically lower the volume acting out of line but I checked that and I couldn't find any way to fix it. And I don't know if it would have affected a USB headset.

Hmm sorry late reply mate but myself I think those checks if you ran them have sorted the problem as I really don't think the telephone settings would have anything to do with the sound cards.
I reckon it is probably the driver for the card has got put out of whack by perhaps some shut downs that have occurred by accident or power outage (what is commonly called an illegal shutdown) . Those sorts of things do by their very nature do put parts of files out of place when they happen, and soon fixed with those scans so something to keep in mind if it happens again plus a lot of usage over time does defrag the disk as you will know that is another issue that will eventually cause the files to become "undone" :)
By the by are you using Blu tooth phones or other devices with the machine? I know in my car the volume of other stuff is affected by incoming calls etc.
|My System Specs
|01 Feb 2015
Well I actually didn't run either of the tests you linked in your other post. It just fixed itself.
I do occasionally get power outages that shut my computer off, so that might have caused something. But it's not like the issue occurs right after one of those happens. And reinstalling the driver hasn't helped either time this issue has happened.
I have two of my three drives (not the SSD) defrag every once in a while automatically.
The phone setting is what I was talking about that will automatically lower the volume or mute the volume when you get a call apparently. I'm not using any phones with my computer though but I've seen other posts complaining that that settings will sometimes trigger when it's not supposed to.

Ok well all well and good glad t is fixed.
Now if you can run your budget to a USP then it will save any such outages affecting the system but they are not that expensive out here typically $130 but worth it for peace of mind:)

Okay so the problem came back just now and I did both of the scans that you suggested above and no errors were found. What else can I try to determine/fix the issue?

Ease of choose. Before buying a child safety seat, be apt to check it's credit report scoring. You can check the rating on the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration's website. 1 is accessed along the ease of use, child security along with the clarity of manufacturer's instruction booklet. Outside rating it has, the easier may to use. Choosing one with higher rating is exciting workout for your vehicle and child.
The Sport Utility Stroller (or SUS, as it's called) is specially made for jogging or walking away from the pavement, e.g. on nature trails. It uses the same frame as the BOB Ironman, but has thick treads about the tires and mag wheels, which is what gives it an easier off-road capability. The SUS is possibly the most durable of all the BOB strollers with its 16-inch tires and rugged aluminum frame. You'll find it has a deluxe suspension system with 3-inches of play, so you don't have any to worry about bumping your kid around.
Some of the opposite nice features about the Snap 'n Go are the parent cup holder, forward swivel wheels, along with the 1-hand fold. Of course, there can be a basket to carry all the necessities that an infant might need.
Baby car seats are an expensive item. They cannot be worn out really. However, the problem is when one goes to the market to buy one, not all of them will be free from defects. Since can be linked with your child's safety, it should be bought with cure. Some car seats are not manufactured properly and may have design defects such as uneasy plastic shells, defected buckles and padding, and loose straps which may not grip the child tightly enough. You can see that we must develop a good wooden best infant car seats always too. Every one of these defects can cause serious problems and potential injuries to your child. If the baby is not properly seated in the seat, he may eject out of this completely in case of an motorcycle crash.
Space is a crucial selling point in vehicles. Most people check the boot for capacity and appearance how many the car seats are inside. Is actually important in the placement of child restraints like infant baby carseats. However, many do not consider the driver's area. If the seats curl all around the driver he may well be able to turn to see behind very well. Should the headrests are placed illogically, the driver will not find a way to see to his sides or behind. Sometimes the frame holding the glass is too wide and prevents a driver seeing vital traffic. Don't purchase a car which obstructs the driver's view.
I haven't in order to clean the seat itself very much yet. Just wiped up baby barf, which has been easy. The seat is looking pretty new still – though I'm sure at some point my son will deliver it his all to make me need to heaps seat cover for a deep cleaning.
A happy, comfortable baby means happy parents. Get a seat that is soft and well-padded, with a breathable seat cover plus a canopy that offers both shade and privacy. For your convenience, choose a truck seat that expert to clean, one particular that has ergonomic carrying handles too stay-in-car base.
Easy to buy. The best infant car seat should be installed easily so a person can can save extended especially when happen to be in a dash. Aside from that, when the car seat is user-friendly, even those in which new to it will possibly easily learn how to use it. In order that when there are times that you are not around, anybody who is taking your bay or a drive, the carseat is properly setup.

S4 user thankful of help
Kudos: Hi. After using Android for 4 years last week ago I installed my first custom ROM CM11 M8 using their one click installer onto my S4 GT-I9505 UK model. The installation was fine and the phone has worked perfectly for 8 days. However whilst exploring the vast array of menus on CM I looked in on recovery.
Then disaster struck as it would not boot back into CM. The device was stuck in recovery. I did Power + Volume Up + Home and removed battery numerous times but it would not reboot. Whilst researching what to do, as I am new to all this, I discovered your website and read the info on the S3 which my wife has. So I saw the info about safe boot and tried that on my S4. IT WORKED!!!! My phone is now up and running. Thank you so much for the info. No one on the Cyanogen Forum has suggested this fix.
All the best and many thanks again. — David Boland

S4 reboots when using camera flash
Problem: Good day guys. I've had my Samsung Galaxy S4 for almost a year now. The issue is that whenever I take a picture with the flash on, the phone switches off instantly. I won't be able to switch it back on until I remove the battery and reinsert it for a cold start. Hope you can help me out. Regards. — Frank
Troubleshooting: Hi Frank. We're sorry to hear about this problem. You are one of the few S4 users who encountered this extremely rare problem. Unfortunately for us, there are no particular known cause of the problem, which means that there is no specific troubleshooting step/s that we can suggest.
A malfunctioning flash can be caused by a number of factors including, but not limited to:
- A rogue or corrupted third party application
- Battery issue
- Moisture-caused damage
- Physical damage
- Outdated software
If the phone has been dropped before, there's a big chance that the circuitry of the flash may have become damaged. The camera assembly including the flash can also suffer from liquid or moisture damage. Sometimes, cleaning the camera and flash with clean, soft cloth dampened with water can work wonders.
Make sure that your phone does not have one of the mentioned causes above. Perform a Safe Mode procedure on your phone and try to see if the flash works that way. If it does work while the phone is in safe mode, this means that a third party app may be causing it to fail. Try to uninstall any recently installed app and see if that will work.
You also want to make sure that your phone and all your apps are running the most updated version of software.
If any of things will not help, contact Samsung or your provider for a unit replacement. We won't suggest for a repair as this may only give you a temporary fix at best. A brand new phone is the most preferable.
S4 briefing alarm set-up
Problem: Is there a way to get the Briefing Mode on my Samsung Galaxy S4? I know this is possible because a friend using an S4 told me about it.
I love being greeted during the morning with overnight news and the day's weather. I don't know much about phones so if you can walk me through it in simple terms, I think I can manage. — Mona
Troubleshooting: Hi Mona. We agree with you that there's no nicer feeling than listening to fresh news at the start of the day. Fortunately, the way to set-up your phone to do just that is simple. Just follow our instructions below and you should be able to set-up your phone in a breeze.
- On your Galaxy S4, launch the Clock app.
- On the Alarm screen, tap the + sign to create a new alarm.
- Tap Alarm type and then select Briefing.
- If you will be prompted with an Information window, just tap OK
- Now you will see the New Widget Settings. Make sure to select the correct country before selecting your favorite category.
- Tap Briefing content then select the items that you want to view on the alarm screen.
- Tap Save to keep your preferences afterwards.
In the event that you have selected an incorrect country or category under News Widget Settings, don't worry as there's an easy way to reset it.
- On you Galaxy S4, go to home Settings > More > Application manager > All.
- Scroll down and select Unified Daemon (EUR).
- On the App info screen, tap Clear data.
- Restart the phone. After the phone reloads, you will prompted again to select your desired categories and country.
S4 Smart dock not working when using HDMI
Problem: I have had my S4 for over a year now. I originally bought the Samsung Galaxy Smart dock with it and loved it for months. However, it stopped working; I thought it was bad so i bought a cheap direct HDMI adapter but there's no response on HDTV or phone. I have splurged and bought the AllShare hub for wireless mirroring and it works but heats up after an hour. My Samsung S4 charges fine but could the HDMI part of the port be malfunctioning? Any help or links greatly appreciated. Thanks. — Insanejoe
Troubleshooting: Hi Insanejoe. Based on your description of the problem, it looks like the Smart dock itself is working fine except its HDMI port component. It's impossible for us to diagnose what is the status of the HDMI port right now but this type of problem appears to be common even with other devices employing HDMI.
A quick search in Google about HDMI issues can churn out tons of posts, though most of them happen on TVs.
Nevertheless, we recommend that you get a replacement Smart dock if you want to continue to connect your phone via HDMI.
S4 battery drains faster after updating to Android KitKat 4.4.2
Problem: I have been using my Samsung Galaxy S4 for a year now and the battery life was more than good – whole day of hard use and still had 30-40% left. After the last update to Android KitKat 4.4.2, the phone can't last even a few hours. I charged the phone to 100%, plug it out of the charger and after a few minutes without using it, the battery goes to 80%. Even bought a new battery but the problem remains the same. Can you please help me? — Vladimir
Troubleshooting: Hi Vladimir. After a quick check, it appears that you are not alone to suffer from battery drain issue after updating to KitKat 4.4.2. Obviously, it's not the battery on your phone as you have already replaced it with a new one.
We have been receiving lots of emails about S4 battery issues and fortunately, a post had already been published to help many of our readers. I recommend that you go over our suggestions in this post first: http://thedroidguy.com/2013/12/troubleshooting-four-major-battery-related-issues-samsung-galaxy-s4-81351#b5RpJ3rZIkeJdmPK.97
While not recommended by Samsung and by anyone who worries too much about security, you also have an option to revert your phone's operating system to its previous state. There are many ways how to achieve this by simply searching for options in Google. You can also visit http://www.sammobile.com/ for a more extensive help from fellow Samsung users.
S4 flash player does not work
Problem: Hi. My biggest problem is the Adobe Flash player after I updated to KitKat 4.4.2. Although I have installed the modified flash player and dolphin browser (and enabled jet pack and web content is always on) like the description of XDA , I still can't play my favorite TV app (Deutschland TV created via Flash Paradise). I wrote to them but they don't answer. The app hasn't any update in the last 15 months. But it still works for galaxy S3 with Jelly Bean 4.3. Basically, what happens is when I click on the TV app (using my S4 KitKat) it gives me the error "get Adobe Flash player". Have you any idea? Please help me. Thanks in advance. — Salomon
Troubleshooting: Hi Salomon. The only user-tested browser able to run flash for KitKat 4.4 is the Dolphin browser. If you followed xda-developers.com member Surviveland's instruction how to download and install the Flash Player APK file, then the problem lies not on your phone or browser but on the app itself. The error that you're getting is simply an indicator that the app is not detecting the flash player you've installed.
Flash is a PC-era technology and was never designed for touch screen but thankfully, Adobe's geniuses tweaked it run in Android. But still, flash is has never been supported to run in Android-powered devices. Adobe had officially withdrew its product from Google Play Store early this year.
And of course, it's not a secret that Samsung blocked Flash plugins in their devices as well.
Anyhow, the best thing that you can do here is to make every effort to contact the developer to let them know (hopefully they are still supporting their app) about the problem. Otherwise, you may want to take other options to watch your favorite channel on your phone.
S4 stuck in bootloop after flashing ROM
Problem: Please help me with my problem. When I had my S4 it is running KitKat 4.2.2 and I updated it to Android 4.3. Android 4.4.2 KitKat is now released but not in our country so I tried to flash the firmware from sammobile.com via ODIN and it was successfully flashed. I also flashed the TWRP Recovery so that I can install a Custom ROM "Samy Deluxe ROM" and it was also successful. After a month I decided to revert it back to STOCK ROM and Flashed it via ODIN, still the phone was fine. Then this week I've decided to use again the Samy Deluxe ROM. I followed the steps again and it required a Full Factory Reset that's why I clicked the "Format Data" and swiped to Factory Reset. After that procedure, I turned on the phone but it didn't continue. Now it's only showing the Samsung logo and the lines on top left saying "KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING, Set Warranty Bit : Kernel" I just turned the phone off again and flash the Samy Deluxe ROM via TWRP, it was done but still in bootloop with that lines. I still tried to turn off and on again and it continued, until it boot up and continue setting up and installing some apps on the phone. I notice that the automatic brightness is not working so I decided to restart the phone, after that the bootloop returned back and cannot continue to boot up. Now I cannot flash any stock ROMs via Odin it always shows "no pit partition", I tried to flash PIT file of S4 but still no luck. Please help me. Thank you. — Ejay
Troubleshooting: Hello Ejay. There's always an inherent risk involved if a user tries to flash a phone's ROM. Although most tutorials would incorporate emergency troubleshooting steps for exact cases like the one the you have, they are catered for anticipated problems that might arise from preset factors. A variable that's not considered by ROM developers to come up when they formulate their set of solutions may set your issue as unique. And we believe that your problem is isolated to your phone only as we have not encountered it yet.
If you cannot secure a replacement unit for your phone, try to see if the tested remedy we know will work in this case. If there is a microSD card connected to your phone, try to reformat it to FAT32 using another device and see if your phone will boot up normally. We're sorry but this is the only solution we know at the moment. We hope this works for you.
S4 losing mobile internet after placing new front and back skin
Problem: Hi. I have problem with my Samsung S4. I bought a Samsung S4 skin from a store that covers the phone front and back. But since that skin was put I started losing my mobile internet. I am wondering if it is because of the skin i placed that covered something in my phone and may had block the signal. I hope you can help me with this. — Emiliza
Troubleshooting: Hi Emiliza. If placing the new front and back skin was the only thing that happened to your phone before you lost your mobile connection, then it will make sense if you can isolate the issue by removing the skin. We cannot see the logic why the phone will lose connectivity because of a cosmetic add-on but we strongly suggest that you do it anyway.
Before we move to troubleshooting the issue, we are assuming that you are experiencing any of the following issues:
- Unable to connect to the internet
- Cannot send and receive multimedia messages
- Cannot browse websites
- Unable to send and receive email messages
- Cannot run internet-dependent contents with apps
Please go over the troubleshooting steps below to resolve mobile connectivity issue on a Samsung Galaxy S4.
- Soft reset the phone. A simple soft reset usually reestablishes connection to a provider. To do this, please do the following:
- Press and hold the Power key, tap Power off, and then tap OK to turn your Samsung Galaxy S4 off.
- Remove the battery. After 30 seconds, reinsert the battery.
- Press and hold the Power key to turn your Samsung Galaxy S4 back on.
- Test your device to see if the issue is resolved.
- Call your service provider. Check if there's an ongoing outage. We don't want you to waste your time doing any other steps when the issue starts with your provider itself.
- Find a workaround. If you need to connect to the internet badly, try to find free hotspots in your area or use your home Wi-Fi temporarily.
- Get a replacement. If there's no outage and removing the skin doesn't help, it's obviously a hardware issue that warrants phone replacement.
S4 getting "unfortunately settings have stopped" error
Problem: I have the s4 and the other day it completely froze. I removed the battery because that was the only way to reset it. The power button wouldn't work either. I put the battery back in and powered it back up. I thought everything was fine until I went to access my settings. Every time I click on settings it tells me "unfortunately settings have stopped. " I've researched fixes and the majority of them require me accessing the settings screen which I am unable to do. Any suggestions? I'm afraid to power it down because it took so long last time to boot everything back up. And some apps wouldn't start back up. It appears as though everything is okay now except this settings issue I'm having. Any suggestions other than powering it down and restating it? — kwow1967
Troubleshooting: A powerful smartphone like a Samsung Galaxy S4 freezing can be caused by different factors. The most common root cause is an overwhelmed RAM–a result of too many apps running simultaneously in the background that your phone's temporary memory can't handle the demand. Another common cause can be attributed to a rogue app. Still, many users also report a corrupted operating makes their phone lag and/or eventually freeze.
We have prepared some troubleshooting items below and it's to you to try them to isolate can may be the real root cause.
- Non-working microSD card. After some digging, we discovered that a faulty microSD card can make an S4 lag or freeze. To see if this is the case, try to unplug the card from your phone, restart, and observe. If the phone works flawlessly, then it's time for you to either reformat the microSD card, or simply replace it.
- Rogue/problematic apps.
- Hold the Power button for a few seconds until the phone options are displayed
- Tap on Power off option
- As the phone boots up, keep pressing the Volume down button until the lock screen is shown. You'll know if you are in Safe Mode because it will say so on the lower left side of the screen.
- Clear RAM. This simple step works wonders if the real issue is being caused by low RAM problem. Try to limit the number of apps running on your phone all the time but should you want to clear the RAM anytime, just do the following:
- Go to the Home screen.
- Press and hold the Home button until Recent Apps screen appears.
- Tap Task Manager.
- From there, you can see a tab that says "RAM," tap on it.
- RAM usage will then be displayed.

If any or all of the steps fail, you can safely assume that your phone is suffering from an unknown hardware failure. There is no best way to guess what particular hardware may have failed because any of the hundreds of the components inside can potentially break.
You want to skip having a third party technician check your phone for a possible hardware trouble (especially if it's still under warranty). It's common knowledge that providers or Samsung will consider the phone's warranty voided if a third party technician will attempt repair before they do.
If you did root your phone, make sure to re-flash it to its stock ROM to avoid voiding the warranty as well.

A Devout Christian who sent an Islamophobic letter to the headmistress of a top Muslim school claiming "all Muslims worship Satan" has been sentenced to a 12-month community order and ordered to pay £510 in costs.
Rose White, 68, sent letter to Manchester Islamic High School for Girls on May 13 saying: "I was saddened to see you enforce full Muslim dress and force pupils to accept the role of Satan."
Accompanying the letter was a cartoon-strip titled, "Is Allah Like You?" showing a Muslim family with a cruel father who then becomes kind after turning to Christianity.
The letter said schools would "have a nice future under Jesus and not Satan or Mohammed or whatever they call him".
Headteacher, Mona Mohammed, said she was "deeply alarmed" by the letter.
White claimed she became a Christian in 2014 following repeated callings from God and saw it as her "duty" to tell Muslims to convert to her religion.
At Manchester magistrates court she denied wrongdoing but was convicted of sending an indecent or grossly offensive letter and was ordered to carry out 100 hours of unpaid work.
Passing sentence Judge Duncan Birrell told her: "You are not allowed to conduct yourself in a way that causes other people harm. The court has already determined you have crossed the line between freedom to express your opinions and causing harm to others."
Mohammed was shocked when she opened the letter to see it read: 'Muslims worship Satan in the guise of Allah.'
Prosecutor Subhanur Chowdhury said: "She was frightened about what would happen next. She looked through the post on her desk and among it was a letter containing three pages typed and a printed booklet, "Is Allah like you?"
She read the letter and was shocked to see the content was Islamophobic. It stated all Muslims were doomed to die and that Muslims worship Satan in the guise of Allah.
"The school was not specifically targeted, she had just seen it on a list on the internet and was trying to convert them to Christianity. She is not remorseful about sending the letters and feels it is her duty. She stated she would be sending further letters."
White said she had done nothing wrong, adding that she spent most of her money on sending Bibles to Muslim countries.

Just a Shift in Thought
Categories: Blog, Saint Monica's Children's Home
I thought that I was already connected to the girls at St. Monica's. Reading about them here, seeing their photos on Flickr and helping to raise money needed for their education made me feel like I was contributing something to their lives. I know their faces and I've heard the joy in their voices.
And then Rocky asked my daughter if she'd like to be penpals with Maggie. Little One's never had a penpal, and she asked me what she should say in her first letter. As we talked about our family, our house, our pets and hobbies, I started to really think about Maggie's life.
Suddenly one girl was pulled forward in my mind. It was like a spotlight glowed on Maggie, and I started to wonder what she might have in common with my daughter. Would they giggle together and whisper secrets? Has Maggie ever played a video game? Does she have enough books to keep her mind full of new ideas? Could we send her little presents, maybe stickers she could share with the other girls? (And even the wilder thoughts: 'Does she ever think of being an exchange student?', I wondered while in my office, former bedroom of our exchange student from Japan. Because maybe we have room. I bet we do.)
It's amazing the shift I've had in my thinking from this one little step. Instead of just thinking generally about all of the girls, my thoughts are honed in on one. I want Maggie to be happy, safe and warm. I wonder what I could do to make her life better. Did the mental image of her giggling with my daughter give me maternal feelings for Maggie, too? I think so. I think it was that simple.
This is one of the reasons that Mothers Fighting for Others works. Each and every one of these girls is deserving of love and the very best possible life — and who better than a group of Moms to work together to make sure they have it?

Open to the public 9am-5pm Monday to Friday until late-September, the exhibition "Drones: our science eyes in the skies" explores the rapid growth in the use of drones to study subjects as diverse as the extent of Antarctic sea ice and the biology of whales.
The exhibition includes drones that have been used in the field, photos and video, and posters explaining the University's drone research.
Associate Professor Guy Williams, who specialises in developing autonomous platforms for Antarctic research and helped to create the exhibition, said advances in drone technology promise an exciting new era for science.
"This exhibition is a great chance for members of the public to get a unique insight into the new research opportunities that drones are creating," Associate Professor Williams said.
"Drones allow us to deploy sensors and collect data cheaply and safely in places that until now have been too dangerous, too remote or too expensive to reach.
"Improving technology means drones can now fly further and for longer while carrying heavier sensing equipment.
"In Antarctica, drones have potential to help answer urgent questions about dramatic regional changes in sea-ice, and to address the mismatch in climate models.
"We have also used drones to survey Short-tailed shearwater (muttonbird) colonies off Bruny Island and to sample breath from the blowholes of Blue Whales in the Southern Ocean.
"Our next big challenge is to develop drones that can fly beyond the visual line of sight (BLVOS) of the operator, enabling even longer flights.
"The University has approval to conduct trial BLVOS flights to islands up to 10 kilometres off Tasmania to survey seal and seabird colonies, something that just wouldn't be possible without this technology," Associate Professor Williams said.
The University first began experimenting with drones in 2009 through the TerraLuma Research Group led by Associate Professor Arko Lucieer (School of Technology, Environments and Design).
"Over the last 10-years the University's use of drones has grown and covered many applications, including precision agriculture, vineyard mapping, forestry, landslides, coastal erosion, and mapping of complex ecosystems," Associate Professor Lucieer said.
"Our world-leading research in sensor integration and image processing has allowed us to collect images and three-dimensional data at resolutions in the order of several centimetres. This 'ultrahigh-resolution' imagery can provide us with new insights that satellite sensors are unable to offer
"The drone sensing platforms that we have developed include hyperspectral, thermal, and laser sensors that allow us to detect information that is invisible with the naked eye.
"Science is built upon observations and data, and by allowing us to increase the scale and scope of our observations drones are helping researchers to better understand the world around us," Associate Professor Lucieer said.

Here's a few pics of my '72 Shovelhead. I've given it a lot of love this winter. New front end. New top end on the motor. New seat and new tanks and fenders. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. The only thing I'm not crazy is how high the rear fender sits. I'd like to try some shorter shocks, see if that will bring it down some. Anyone holding some 12" covered shocks??
I still need a few little things for the rocker clutch and she's ready for some nice easy break in miles.

On Sunday, February 24th the Tempe Diablos in partnership with Channel 3 and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim will host a charity game at Tempe Diablo Stadium to help raise money to further the implementation of Rachel's Challenge in Tempe schools.
The program has already been presented at KMS, Altadena, Aprende and Akimel A-el middle schools with Pueblo and Centennial scheduled for January 15th and 16th. Desert Vista will soon be the first high school to bring the program to its students.
Rachel's Challenge is a series of student empowering programs and strategies that equip students and adults to combat bullying and ally feelings of isolation and despair by creating a culture of kindness and compassion. The programs are based on the writings and life of 17 year-old Rachel Scott who was the first student killed at Columbine High School in 1999. Rachel left a legacy of reaching out to those who were different, who were picked on by others, or who were new at her school. Shortly before her death she wrote,
"I have this theory that if one person can go out of their way to show compassion, then it will start a chain reaction of the same. People will never know how far a little kindness can go."
Rachel's Challenge was started by Rachel's dad and stepmom, Darrell and Sandy Scott when they realized that the writings and drawings Rachel left not only had an impact on her friends and classmates, but also resonated with students around the world. Although Rachel was a typical teenager who even wrote about her "ups and downs," she had a passion and conviction that she would someday change the world. The Scott family knew her story and passion had to be told to inspire others to make their world a better place."
While her life was tragically cut short during the Columbine High School shooting on April 20, 1999, Rachel Joy Scott's shining example of kindness and compassion was not defeated that day. Each day 160,000 students do not go to school because they are bullied, teased and harassed. By turning the story of a tragic death at Columbine High School into a mission for change, Rachel's Challenge is helping create safer learning environments and making a world-wide impact.
Greg Stainton, Tempe Diablos President, made the following comment following a recent presentation, "It was an incredible experience watching 300 6th and 7th graders in one assembly and 300 7th and 8th graders in another assembly sit in absolute silence for over an hour as this program unfolded in front of them. The program is very moving and many kids were in tears and hugging one another as they left the assemblies. Over 400 students volunteered for follow-up training. During the evening presentation for the parents, I had one couple ask if we were presenting again, because they wanted to bring their younger and older kids. I had another parent ask if this was going to the high schools to which I was able to answer YES! Desert Vista has already put in their application. This is a powerful experience that you should not miss".

Apartment action man Ilya Melnikoff puts Hollywood hopes on hold
"Harry said 'What the hell are you doing here, there are opportunities in Australia. Stop fooling around and come back'."
Ilya Melnikoff had settled into Los Angeles with a burgeoning Hollywood acting career under way when his great uncle, billionaire apartment builder Harry Triguboff, visited.
Not many say no to Triguboff, the founder of Meriton apartments, and Russian-born Melnikoff eventually moved back to Sydney.
"I have been around Harry most of my life. I started working for him in property management and then land acquisitions," Melnikoff says. "I think I learned from his instincts.
"His secret is his intuition and ability to foresee the market and the trends."
Melnikoff returned to Australia, and later bought his first site in Sydney's Neutral Bay for a 16-unit project. It was 2008.
"It was unfortunate timing with the GFC, but we did well out of it," he says.
"At the end of the GFC I bought on the Pacific Highway at North Sydney, for 48 apartments," he says. "I bought the site when no one else wanted it."
The $40 million project, The London, was the second for the 40-year-old Melnikoff's Luxcon Group, which is now planning its fourth Sydney apartment development.
Despite having lived in Australia for 25 years, Melnikoff says his attitudes stem from his heritage.
His great uncle sponsored the family move from Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan, to Sydney when Melnikoff was 13. "I think my methods are still built on the Russian culture and I still speak Russian at home," he says.
With interests in design and architecture — Melnikoff is a fan of Philippe Starck and Robert Stern — as well as the arts, he moved to Los Angeles to act.
"It was nothing like the A list," he says, having played a Russian drug dealer in the 2000 film Bedazzled with Elizabeth Hurley and Brendan Fraser.
He also featured in other Hollywood movies, including Stealth in 2005.
"I miss LA sometimes. Sometimes an agent calls and I go to an audition," says Melnikoff, who has been working on a script that he hopes to take through to production one day.
While he was in Hollywood, Harry Triguboff visited. Sydney's apartment tsar was looking at apartment construction in Los Angeles, and caught up with his great nephew.
"About a year later, I had the opportunity to buy a site (in Sydney). That fell through and then Neutral Bay came along," says Melnikoff.
Luxcon's latest project in Sydney is Eight Eight, where 90 per cent, or $100m worth of apartments, have sold in the 124-unit development on Anzac Parade in Kensington.
His next project is Jardine, a $60m, 56-unit development, at Epping in Sydney's northwest where about half of the units have been pre-sold.
Like Triguboff, Melnikoff is confident of Sydney's prospects despite the wave of apartment development. "It's like New York, it's a major city. Though with the site prices, the margin for error is very low," he says.
He thinks there will be better opportunities to buy sites this year, and is looking at near city properties and parcels in the southeast.
For some time Melnikoff has eyed the Sydney Fish Market site at inner-city Pyrmont, and mentioned it to Triguboff. The site will come up for tender as part of UrbanGrowth's $20 billion Bays Precinct regeneration. "I would like to buy it," says Melnikoff.
"But I'm not in that league."

. . . dealing with Sauer production, Im now wondering . . .
It states the barrel and receiver were blued as a one-piece unit.
In talking with gunsmiths that blue weapons in todays world, they say if they blued rifles like that, the barrels and receivers would rust/bond themselves together permanently . . . . and bluing salts would leech out from the joint for a long time thereafter.
Leaves me wondering how they did that . . . given the K98s didnt seem to leak the salts from the barrel/receiver joint.
Man-o-man, Im having a great time reading this book . . . Jim
