Note 4 Shuts Down With Battery Power Left
Problem: My Samsung Note 4 dies when it reaches low battery. Previously it used to work until some teen percents so I changed the battery. Now with the new battery it runs longer but sometimes it dies when doing some task on the phone like attaching or opening browser or sending whatsapp message. It never turns back on until it is plugged in. After getting plugged in it shows the same amount of charge left as it had before going dead means battery is not drained. My biggest problem is now to find a power outlet everytime when it goes dead just to turn it back on.
Solution: Since you already tried using a new battery on your phone we can eliminate this as the possible cause to this problem. What you should do next is to check if the problem is caused by some glitch in the phone software. To do this you need to backup your phone data then do a factory reset. Once the reset is complete don't install any apps in your phone yet. Try to observe first if the issue still occurs. If it does then this could be caused by an internal component in the phone that is failing to work properly. I recommend that you have your phone checked at a service center that does board level repairs.
Note 4 Not Turning On After Being Dropped
Problem: So, I dropped my phone and it landed with a pretty hard crack to the screen. The battery and everything came out, and when I put the battery back in, it had a big flash on the screen and it wouldn't turn on again. When I plugged it into the wall, it was charging and if I put turn on the phone, the screen would stay black but the little buttons on the bottom would flash. The only problem is, is that the screen is pitch black and I don't know how to fix it. I can hear my notifications going off, but my screen is still black. Please help, and thank you.
Solution: I think that the battery is still supplying power to the phone which is why you are still hearing the notification sounds. The problem is that the display appears to have been damaged by the drop. You should bring your phone to a service center and have this checked. It's possible that you will need to have the display assembly of your phone replaced.
Note 4 Only Charges In Ultra Power Saving Mode
Problem: I was charging my phone like normally then all of a sudden is started saying it was charging then not. So I reset my phone and it sent me to the reboot menu it froze on this menu so I had to hard shut it down. When I turned my phone back on it won't charge anymore. Only can get it to charge on the ultra power mode screen. How do I fix this and did my phone suffer a power surge?
Solution: Try doing another round of factory reset. Make sure to backup your phone data before doing the reset. Once the reset is complete do not install any apps in your phone just yet. Try to check if your phone will charge. If it still doesn't charge then perform the following steps listed below.
- Clean the charging port of your phone using a can of compressed air. Make sure to remove any dirt or debris stuck in this port as this could interfere with the charging process.
- Try charging the phone using a different charging cord and wall charger.
- Try replacing the battery with a new one.
If the problem still occurs after performing the steps listed above then I suggest that you have your phone checked at a service center.
Note 4 Adaptive Fast Charger Not Working
Problem: My Note 4 is 2 years old now and showing signs of wear. Recently the adaptive fast charge no longer works. I've even bought new fast chargers. I believe it may be a hardware issue with the input on the phone itself. Is this something I can potentially repair/replace myself? I've read all of the answers you have given people about this issue on your website and none of them seem to work for me. Do you know if I could even possibly send my phone back to Samsung to have it refurbished? Please help! Thanks
Solution: What you can do on your end first is to try to clean the charging port of your phone using a can of compressed air. Make sure to remove any dirt or debris that could be present in this port as this could interfere with the charging process. Once the port has been cleaned try using a different charging cord when charging your phone. If the issue still persist then one last thing you can do is to check if the phone software is causing the problem. To do this you have to backup your phone data and do a factory reset. Once the reset is complete immediately check if the fast charging works.
If the above steps don't fix the problem then you should have the phone checked at a service center. It's possible that the charging port or the charging IC might need to be replaced.
Note 4 Shuts Down On Its Own
Problem: I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Recently, it has been shutting down after several minutes after I have hit the power button on the right side of the device to turn the screen off. I can hit the button immediately and the screen will turn on, but if I wait at least 5 minutes, then it will power down. I did a double factory reset, one right after the other, and am still getting the same problem. I'm not sure what to do besides contact T-Mobile. It seems it started right after the most recent update, although the restarting was delayed by almost a week from when the update was applied.
Solution: You can try using a different battery on your phone to check if the battery is causing the problem. If the issue still occurs then it could be caused by an internal component of the device that's failing to work. If this is the case then I suggest that you have your phone checked at a service center.
Note 4 Does Not Charge Beyond 79%
Problem: Hi. I got a new battery for my note 4. This new battery does not charge beyond 79%. Irrespective of number of hours, charging with phone switched on, or switched off, it just gets stuck at 79%. However, if I remove the battery, and put it in again, the charge instantly jumps to 100%! So, what's going on here? How can I get it to show the correct charge consistently?
Solution: You should try checking first if a glitch in the phone software is causing this issue by doing a factory reset. Make sure to backup your phone data before doing the reset. Once the reset is done then try to check if the phone will now completely charge. If the issue remains then you might want to try getting another battery.
Note 4 Hot Not Turning On After Charging Overnight
Problem: My Note 4 was working fine. I had put the phone on charge overnight. when i woke up i saw my phone was hot and wouldn't turn on. I tried doing a soft reset, booting in safe mode and in recovery mode, but nothing works as my phone wouldn't switch on. so unfortunately i cannot perform any of the above functions. what should i do now? kindly advice.
Solution: Try getting a new battery and see if the phone will turn on with the new battery. If the phone still gets hot or if it does not turn on then immediately remove the battery. Do not turn on the phone. Bring your phone to a service center and have it checked. It's possible that the heat generated by your device is caused by a short circuit which needs to be immediately checked.

I used to call this section "unruly
passions," which I took from a book about people who
collect things. I wonder whether creating web sites about
my collections can qualify as an attempt to rein in such unruliness,
or is simply further evidence that my collecting has gotten
out of hand. Judge for yourself.

In this week's episode of Casual, it's a relief to see our characters finally forge new relationships. Alex offers to host a BBQ at his house (complete with Cornish game hens), Valerie gets invited to Jennifer's game night, and Laura goes out with her new friend from the homeschool co-op.
It's not all rosy, of course. Alex misses his meeting with JME Capital when he refuses to sign in downstairs, and he's still adjusting to the fact that he no longer runs the company. When he hears that his new co-workers are going out for drinks, he jumps at the chance to take over, quickly inviting everyone to an impromptu BBQ extravaganza.
At work, Jennifer and Valerie seem to be getting closer, especially once Valerie shares her brilliant plan to drink a barrel of wine until she passes out. That's all Jennifer needs to hear; she asks Valerie to join her for game night. She even offers to set her up with her friend Harry, who doesn't have any personality disorders and genuinely likes playing board games, but not in that "creepy, infantile way." Valerie is still unconvinced, mostly hesitant to attempt dating again.
While driving, Valerie gets a call from Drew, and she discovers he wants to buy out her half of the house so that he will have space for a potential child with Mae-Yi. Although Drew and Valerie are just now beginning to get along, he's slowly pushing her out of his life by making room for a potential child. Valerie panics, and decides it's time for her to move on after all.
Alex prepares for his BBQ with Leon, and they shop for the proper grill. Alex insists he wants fire because it's "comforting and speaks to our inner caveman," which speaks to his desire for a more visceral experience of the world. When Leon asks if Alex has ever been hunting, though, he's appalled. "Of course not," he responds, "I'm a pacifist." We then discover some shocking news: Leon has other friends besides Alex! This is unfathomable to Alex, demonstrating just how narrow his worldview has become. Later, Alex seems to regret getting the fire grill, but as is the case with most of Alex's gut decisions, he will never admit it. Both Valerie and Laura reveal they have other plans and leave Alex to fix the grill without them, a lone caveman fending for himself.
As soon as Valerie walks through the door to game night, she sees that she may have already lost: Harry is there, but he brought a date named Allie. Jennifer's friends barely manage to introduce themselves before apologizing profusely. Once Valerie finds Allie crying on the stairs, however, she recognizes that she isn't the only outsider. In comforting Allie, Valerie seems more relatable and authentic than she's ever been. Those good vibes don't last long: Riding her newfound confidence, Valerie returns to the game and takes control of the room, ultimately marginalizing Allie instead of making her feel comfortable.
After a day of classes about trigger warnings and safe spaces, Laura and her new friend Aubrey (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt's Dylan Gelula) work together at a diner. It's more talking than working, and they quickly discover they both have parents who hate each other. These two are equally jaded and dismissive of the guy who tries to flirt with them. After he leaves a plate of cookies on their table, Aubrey demands, "How do you see this playing out?" She has clearly seen this all before, and knows how it will end. Laura watches Aubrey in amazement, eventually joining in until the guy backs away, shocked. It's hard to remember that the girls are still supposed to be 16.
Guests begin to arrive at Alex's BBQ, and Mary suggests he should have gotten a gas grill. Alex reminds her that he doesn't care about sustainability. He cares about ribs. Things take a turn for the worse when Jordan introduces his fiancé, who also happens to be Alex's ex-girlfriend, Sarah. The last time Alex saw her, she broke into his apartment and stole all his light bulbs (including the one in the fridge). Sure, it's a psychotic thing to do, but the attention to detail there is fascinating. Alex tries to get Valerie to come home, endearingly calling her his Tonto and his Robin, but she abruptly resists his co-dependent behavior and returns to game night, abandoning him yet again.
After his phone call with Valerie, Alex finds a single light bulb unscrewed on his chandelier. He's sure that Sarah hasn't changed. When no one else is around, he confronts her: "I like my marginally satisfying life, and I'm not going to let you ruin it." Not the most moving speech, but touching in Alex's own way.
Once they've left the diner, Laura and Aubrey get high in Aubrey's car. Could it be? Is Laura is finally starting to feel comfortable with someone her own age? She returns home, relaxed and smiling, and it's the first time she seems truly happy. Meanwhile, Valerie is also making a friend. She helps Jennifer clean up after game night, and they celebrate her victory. Valerie has successfully charmed Jennifer's friends at the expense of alienating Allie, and we know that Valerie is here to win. It's clear how ruthless and self-serving she can be, which makes you wonder how far she will go — and how many people she will sacrifice — to get what she wants.
Back at the house, without Valerie to guide or distract him, we witness Alex's unraveling. Sarah leaves the BBQ, but instead of unscrewing another light bulb and playing into Alex's neuroses, she remains calm. She tells him she sleeps like a baby because "that's what happens when you find someone who really loves you." For once, Alex is speechless. He returns to his bedroom and he sits alone, reflective and alert, finally realizing who to blame for his misery.

The Bodybuilding Tips for Those Beginners
You should know that strength and power are admired for a long time. You can blame the Characters in Greek mythology or those superheroes that you see on TV and the fad for the sporting or strong body continues up to now. In the previous years, the robust as well as muscular body was necessary for survival and protection and such would play a really important role in making yourself more confident.
The bodybuilding is now a trend and such started when the movies featured the hunky and hot men that beat those bad guys. There are also many of those who like to have a fit and trim body with the spread of health awareness. You can find a lot of those who would visit the gym and use bodybuilding supplements to achieve the body that they like. You should know that there are several methods which are involved in the process. It is important that you actually follow a diet and that you have the right training which is crucial to help you build the perfect body you like. Here are some of the factors which beginners should take into account when bodybuilding.
One is that you should pick a gym. Today, you will be able to find so many gyms out there in every nook and corner but you must have to sign up with the gym offering the needed facilities and also pieces of equipment for bodybuilding. Be sure that your chosen gym has the chest and shoulder machines, back machines, cardio machines, arm machines, weights and benches.
You should also stick to a full-body workout regime. You need to focus on a particular body part. With bodybuilding, you must workout the whole body. The workout plan must include muscle building, stamina building as well as toning exercises.
You must also take the pre-workout supplements. Those pre-workout supplements are taken one hour before going for the bodybuilding training. Such bodybuilding supplements would nourish the system with enough nutrients that would increase the energy and also enhance the training. The best pre-workout supplements could make the training more efficient and this would help deliver results fast.
The dumbbells and the barbells are the best choices for muscle building for the beginners. Ensure that you avoid over training and that you allow yourself to rest. So many of the beginners end up tiring themselves totally because they go past their workouts to get the results at once. You can have a lot of stress, fatigue and loss of appetite when you are going to overtrain. When you experience such symptoms, you must slow down. Also, you must remember that you work it right. There will be an adverse effect when you are over enthusiastic.

By ADAM MAHLER
In the early hours before work, Kate McGinn '19 slips into her running shoes and heads into the chilly Rocky Mountain air. With headphones blaring beats of early 2000s nostalgia, she rolls into a jog down the dirt road. Something within compels her to be out here, alone. A casual observer might ask the same question that haunts the hearts of all runners from time to time: why?
McGinn wasn't always a runner. Her first love was swimming, which for 16 years of her life was a wall to push against, a competitive endeavor to discover what she was capable of. But as she made the transition from swimming in high school to the varsity level at Colorado College, she had had enough of the sport. A broken leg midway through high school had stunted her progress and left her wondering if the pain and struggle was worth it.
"I didn't think I was going to swim in college because I was at a point where I really hated the sport by the time I graduated high school. Swimming is a surprisingly competitive sport not only with yourself but also with your teammates. It was kind of a toxic environment," she explained. Luckily, her teammates in college were much more laid-back and welcoming, but by the end of her freshman year, she knew her body was done. Other interests had pulled her attention away from swimming, and the rigid structure and relentless dedication of the sport had taken its toll. "I was tired of people telling me what to do," she said.
Running had always been an activity McGinn used as a method to cross train for swimming, what swimmers call "dry land training," but she never had the opportunity to just run. After quitting the CC swim team following her freshman season, her newfound free time and energy naturally manifested itself in running. "It was amazing because I was running and no one would know how fast I ran," she said. "It's a way for me to be active, but I don't feel any of those stressful pressures that I felt at practice where I had to go under a certain time to impress a coach to swim at another meet."
McGinn deplores the idea of using social media apps like Strava to broadcast her mileage and pace to the internet mob. Sixteen years of her life had been spent chasing numbers and the approval of others. Now, she's off the clock. Rather than completing endless laps in a pool, she has the freedom to hit the trails and be alone in a more natural environment. "It's great because it just gives you such an intimate relationship with yourself," she said. "And at the end of the day, the other reason why I run is so I look hot."
These days, her passion for running takes her for runs early in the morning. By the time her coworkers have hit the snooze button, McGinn's already back from her run, drenched in hard-earned sweat. "How was the run?" I ask. She smiles. "Fantastic."

What to Eat Before a Run
What should I eat before I run?
It's an age-old question faced by many runners both new to the sport and those who have been training seriously and are looking to fine tune their training diet.
While you won't find one specific super food that works for every runner, by providing some simple guidelines on nutritional requirements and timing, this article will help you find the perfect food for your pre-run snacks or meals.
Step 1: Timing Your Pre-run Meals
The most critical variable in the equation is timing – how long before your run can you, or should you, eat.
Here's the deal:
Like most aspects of training, finding the optimal time to eat before a run is an individual preference.
I can run within 15-20 minutes of eating almost anything short of a full meal and have no stomach issues whatsoever.
Conversely, my wife can't muster a step out the door if she's eaten anything within 2 hours or the run. You need to find work works for you.
Here's how:
Conduct an experiment
To find your optimal timing window, try eating a medium sized snack 90 minutes before your next run (see the last section of this article for what constitutes a medium sized snack).
If your stomach handles it well, try moving the same snack forward 15-20 minutes.
Likewise, if you experience stomach issues, push back the timing of your snack 15-20 minutes.
Keep moving forward or backward 15-20 minutes per run until you find the closest time you can eat before you start experiencing stomach or cramping issues.
Now you have a concrete number for how close to your run you can eat, which is the first step in determining your optimal pre-run meal or snack.
This is important: In general, the harder you have to run, the further back your snack should be from this time threshold. Likewise, the larger the meal or snack, the further you'll have to push back from your closest pre-run eating time.
Step 2: Determine the Nutritional Demands of Your Run
I think most runners severely over estimate the number of calories they burn and the amount of carbohydrates they need to complete runs under 90 minutes.The body has enough glycogen stored in the muscles from your normal diet to run at marathon pace for right around 2 hours.
This means that you don't need to load up on carbohydrates or calories before most of your normal training sessions, but might want a little extra fuel for harder workouts or long runs
Demands of a Normal Easy Training Run
A 155 pound runner will burn between 500 and 600 calories on a 60 minute run depending on their pace and effort level.
To see how many calories you burn while running, you can try our running calorie calculator. Since you already have enough fuel in your muscles to run for 2 hours, and you might only burn between 500-600 calories, you don't need a huge snack or meal before you head out the door.
Remember this: For normal easy run days, a small snack 30-90 minutes before your run is all you need to stave off hunger and provide a small boost to your blood sugar levels.
Long Runs and Harder Workouts
If you have a long run or workout that is going to take more than 90 minutes to complete, you should try and get a little something in your stomach to give you some extra fuel.
A medium sized snack or small meal 30-120 minutes before your run is optimal. The amount of time you need to eat before your run is dependent upon your timing experiment from step one.
Morning Runners
For early morning runners, you might have a little less glycogen stored in your muscles since you're coming off 6-8 hours of not eating, but unless you have a long run or a really hard workout, you don't need to worry too much about eating something before running.
If you do have a longer run scheduled, try a small snack about 30 minutes before you head out the door. Otherwise, you don't have to worry too much.
3. Find a Food That Sits Well in Your Stomach
The most important aspect of a pre-run meal is finding something that agrees with your digestive system.
While bananas may be perfect for your running friend, they give me heart burn, so I avoid them. Likewise, you need to experiment on your easy training runs to see what works best for you. This way, on important workout days and race day, you'll know exactly what foods sit well with you.
Here's the deal: You're looking for easily digestible foods. Avoid fatty or high fiber foods, which sit in your stomach and take longer to digest. Ideally, you want a snack with a good blend of simple and complex carbohydrates and maybe a dab of protein to help you feel more full.
Need Some Pre-run Snack Ideas?
Small Snacks
Energy bars – These tend to be light on the stomach and easy to digest. Avoid diet products, as these often cut the carbs, which is exactly what you're looking for.
Natural energy bars – A Granola bar is a great way to eat more natural, but still stick with a light snack filled with carbs.
Banana – High in carbs and potassium
Small bowl of oatmeal – while oatmeal tends to have a good amount of fiber, it can be a good solution for runners who can't eat close to running, but need something small to sustain them.
Medium Snacks
Toast with peanut butter and jelly – There is a reason your mom always gave you toast when you had an upset stomach. It's easy to digest and light on the stomach.
Wheat bagel with Peanut butter or cream cheese – A little more substantial than the toast with a small dab of protein to stave off hunger.

Opening Hours
Mon - Fri: 08:00-17:30
Sat: 08:00-17:30
Tom Durcan, craft butcher of over twenty five years experience, is a master of spiced beef. It has won him honours in Blas na hEireann in 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 including numerous gold medals from the Craft Butchers of Ireland.
Tom's Cork Traditional Spiced Beef is famous. Starting in October, he mixes his secret spice cure. Success, he says, comes from the infusion of the salt and spices, including pimento, in boiling water, before cooling and adding the meat. Joints are left in the cure for at least a month, and preferably two months, stirred every day to ensure the marinade infuses throughout. Tom chooses his meat from the eye of the round cut, next to the topside, but he also spices rib of beef, brisket, and ox tongues and sometimes lamb's tongues too. At Christmas, over six tonnes of Durcan's spiced beef goes across the counter into the hands of happy festive shoppers. And his own personal favourite way of enjoying it? Served cold and sliced, with caramelised Spanish onions, on crusty buttered white bread. Simple.
Durcan's award winning Spiced Beef is available cooked and sliced in Centra and Super Valu supermarkets nationwide.
|The secret of cooking is slow simmering over low heat to make the meat moist and tender.
|Some recipes call for stout in the cooking liquid. Tom says it's not necessary if the spicing mix is right to begin with.
|During the Christmas period, twelve tonnes of spiced beef is sold across the counter at Durcan's stall in the English Market.
|Spiced Ox Tongue is a real favourite in Cork. It makes a great addition to a cold meat selection, served with Christmas pickles or chutney.
|A kilo joint of spiced beef will cut enough slices to serve six comfortably
|Tom prefers the natural sweetness of Spanish onions for his open sandwich recipe. But you could use red onions, cooked with a little sugar and a splash of white wine vinegar to add a sweet sharp slant.
|Leaving the meat to cool in the cooking liquid help preserve its moistness for slicing.
|Spiced beef can be served warm, with rich gravy made from the cooking liquid. Simply mix equal quantities of cooking liquid with good rich beef stock and reduce down, stir in a knob of butter to enrich, then pour over the warm sliced beef.
|Durcan's Spiced Beef is on the menus of many of the city's famous cafes this time of year. Visit the Farmgate Café, situated in the upper gallery of the English Market, or Nash 19 in Princes Street - to name two great places to eat this favourite festive speciality.
|If you are planning on eating spiced beef this Christmas, wherever you are in the country - make sure you order your chosen joint well in advance!

High River holds the seniors' title in Alberta
It's the greyest town in Canada's youngest region.
While the Prairies boast Canada's lightest sprinkling of birthday candles, the town of High River south of Calgary has the region's most aged population.
Of its 13,000 citizens, about 22% are over 65, a figure not surprising to 72-year-old John Down, who moved to the town in 2013 to downsize and escape Calgary's rat race.
"When I start to think about it, you go out for coffee or to eat and it's mostly seniors," said Down, who called High River a good place for the elderly.
"Everywhere you go in this town, you see a lot of seniors, it's easy living and friendly."
But High River Mayor Craig Snodgrass said those numbers create a misconception about his town.
"We might have a little more in that demographic than other surrounding communities like Okotoks, but it's a very young, commuter-driven community — Cochrane, Chestermere, the same way," he said.
"High River is just a bit further out from the city."
Those census figures are nothing new to High River to Lynette McCracken, executive director of the town's chamber of commerce.
"High River was always known as a retirement town in Alberta," said McCracken, 61, who's called High River home for 21 years.
"It's a very walkable, easily driveable town."
Key to that has been the presence of a hospital, something that's doesn't exist in nearby Okotoks, she said.
It's not uncommon for Calgary retirees to sell high in the city and move to High River where prices are cheaper, said realtor Joyce O'Neill who markets home in the area.
"It's also the type of housing they have a lot of in High River, the villa housing that's lock-and-leave and you have snow removal done," she said.
In the spring, things pick up noticeably in the town with the return from the southern U.S. of the so-called snowbirds, said O'Neill.
But McCracken said the devastating flood of 2013 took a toll on the seniors' population.
"A lot of the seniors moved away and never returned, or they've passed on, so things are changing," she said.
And High River is positively cherubic compared to the nation's oldest precinct — Parksville, B.C. where 44% of residents are aged 65 or older.

Ms. Perrou describes how Double Helix Water is helping to redefine the body's role in healing by allowing the free and natural flow of healthy energy, making the body an active participant in its own healing. When used in conjunction with other protocols your medical practitioner has advised, it helps increase their effectiveness. By drinking Double Helix Water and using creams enriched with Double Helix Water, you may help your body bypass blocked or misaligned meridians and function at an optimal level. Extreme athletes and weekend warriors have experienced increased endurance, the ability to work out harder, lift more weight and get back to their activities more quickly. Those interested in healthy aging have expressed an improvement in their mental, social and physical well-being and feel that Double Helix Water has helped them transition into their elder years by putting the body in the right condition to heal itself.
In this segment of Life Love & Health, Christopher and Ms. Perrou are joined by Dr. Teresa Quinlin, a family practice physician who discovered Double Helix Water when she met Dr. Lo at a conference in Atlanta, was impressed by how his thermographic test showed its immediate effect on her body, and ultimately used the product to successfully relieve her own pain from fibromyalgia.

With the iPhone 5 announcement getting underway today, airlines are reportedly gearing up for the change and the passenger-friendly features that Apple's forthcoming Passbook will offer.
The future of traveling for iPhone owners may lie in Passbook, a new native app that will arrive on iOS 6 that can recognize boarding passes, tickets, store cards, and coupons from your mobile browser. Passbook users can save these documents to your Apple device for processing, and it will also reflect any changes to this content in real time. For example, if a flight time has been delayed, the ticket that you've saved on Passbook will be automatically updated with the new flight time and the user will be notified of the change. It will also notify you how much money is left on a gift card.
Given the age we live in and the incomparable reach of the iPhone, Passbook could end up digitizing a mass amount of consumers' purchasing activity — and music to advertisers ears will be the fact that the app will recommend new purchases. Really, there's plenty here that should lead us to assume that Passbook is an early version of Apple's iOS wallet.
One thing is for certain: Traveling will be more convenient and efficient when the iOS 6 update is launched and given the handful of airlines that are already on board. So far there have been four airlines that have been reported to support or will support this feature. American Airlines' spokesperson has so far been the only Airline to confirm that their systems have been integrated with Passbook, which should ease the boarding process from check-in to departure.
United Airlines' branding has been identified in Apple's Passbook product images, so it's safe to say it's also planning to launch integration.
Delta, while not officially confirmed, has been developing the infrastructure to support Passbook according to Skift.
Passbook has already been seen in action in Australia, integrated with Virgin Airline. According to Australian Business Traveler, Passbook reportedly prompted a passenger's iPhone, with the beta version of iOS 6 installed, to check into his Virgin Australia flight when he opened up his boarding pass in his browser. Virgin Australia then subsequently confirmed that mobile boarding passes will work on Passbook on iOS 6.
With the multitude of features that Passbook will support and offer, it's no surprise that airlines are adopting the technology so quickly. Saved tickets can be synchronized with Apple's native calendar, reminder apps can send users flight notifications, users can skip the front desk and walk straight to the TSA for screening since Passbook automatically processes the boarding pass, and it uses geolocation to target deals or even prompt the user to open up Passbook when approaching the airport.
With Passbook there's an entire ecosystem of features that airlines are capable of building off of — in fact, they already are.

MYSURU: The heritage city will strive to free itself from slums so its brand value is enhanced. The tourist hub will get a fillip with a housing project for the creation of basic infrastructure. The Centre has sanctioned the project to the city to clear 172 slums and to elevate Mysuru as a slum-free city in 10 years.
District minister V Srinivas Prasad on Tuesday said Mysuru is known as a planned city. "By clearing slums, we can expect more tourists to Mysuru," he said, adding: "Rajiv Awas Yojana will clear 172 slums from the city and slum-dwellers will be rehabilitated in 2,800 houses."
The Centre's project aims at helping slum-dwellers get houses. The Union ministry of housing and poverty alleviation, which was launched on 2013, will be on till 2022. One million beneficiaries across India are expected to be covered under Rajiv Awas Yojana.
Prasad said that basic amenities like roads, drinking water, underground drainage system and community centres will also be created under the project. He asked elected representatives, especially corporators of all the 65 wards in the city, to extend cooperation to implement the project. Among the 2,800 houses sanctioned, 700 will be built in Narasimharaja assembly segment, 1,329 in Krishnaraja and 655 in Chamaraja segments. As many as 116 houses are under construction at Indira Colony in Narasimharaja segment.
During a workshop for stakeholders to prepare a roadmap for slum-free city, jointly organized by Mysuru City Corporation, Regional Centre for Urban and Environment Studies, Osmania University (Hyderabad) and the ministry of urban development, MCC commissioner C G Betsurmath said each house will be built at a cost of Rs 5 lakh, of which 50% will be extended by the Centre.
According to him, the Centre is expected to allocate Rs 1,168 crore for the construction of houses. According to a survey, there are 172 slums in the city limits, and they will be covered under Rajiv Awas Yojana.
The survey has marked 53,908 houses in the 172 slums, in which about 2.65 lakh people are living. The Karnataka State Slum Development Board will build the houses, while the maintenance has been tasked to the civic body. MLAs Vasu and Tanveer Sait, mayor R Lingappa, Rajiv Awas Yojana state coordinator Balakrishna Prasad attended the workshop.

When no shipping address is supplied — for instance, when a digital product is purchased for download — TaxCloud checks for other information that is available. The exact information we seek and the order in which we look for it is different for different states, but the tax rate is usually based on the customer's billing address if there's no shipping address.
All this happens behind the scenes, so you don't need to do anything differently if you're selling digital goods.

LOS ANGELES (AP) Los Angeles County authorities have released a security camera image of a man suspected of defacing a Vietnam War memorial in the Venice area.
City News Service reports Wednesday that a sheriff's graffiti investigator was able to identify some of the tags left by the vandal in May.
Detectives suspect the man in the image is the tagger who calls himself NONER and is known to police around Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Rewards totaling $30,000 have been offered as the investigation continues.
Extensive graffiti was spotted covering a large portion of the homespun memorial painted on a block-long wall of Pacific Avenue. The memorial lists the names of American service members missing in action or unaccounted for in Southeast Asia. Painted by a Vietnam veteran and dedicated in 1992, it declares, "You are not forgotten."

"Find out the best hotels in Adelaide - no matter what your budget!"

Don't restrict yourself to the centre of Adelaide. Glenelg for example is a perfect option. No matter what your budget there is something here for everyone.
The recommendations are personal and also from seeking advice from my friends here in Australia who travel regularly. Click here for a map showing the hotel locations Map of Adelaide.
Here are the best mid priced hotels in Adelaide:
You'll be hard pressed to beat the value for money Majestic Minima Hotel discussed above but if you are looking for something cheaper then try:
Adelaide Beachfront Tourist Park Cabins A typical caravan site with nice cabins on offer.
If you are looking for something querky then check out:
Fire Station Inn
This is a converted fire station and the property includes an old fashioned fire engine actually in the living quarters. There are 18 unique self contained properties here. Worth a stay although I recently saw it featured in a well known magazine which will probably put the prices up! $$($)

Table sorting on user profiles is back, finally. We had to remove it about a year ago because it wasn't interacting well with the tabs on the user profile, but we've since re-designed those tabs so that they work properly with the sort widget. Now, every table on the user profile tabs has little triangles at the top so that you can sort by that column.Permalink
This morning we deployed a number of updates to TroopTrack.
- A more robust way of handling distribution list emails sent from your email account (not quick message) so that unicode characters, such as emoji, will be handled appropriately.
- Sorting of participation records on the detailed member report
- An update to the email distribution list routing that makes it more stable
- Minor change to the troop settings to remove a duplicate setting that was causing confusion.
We also deployed a number of changes to the API that is used by the mobile app and continue to make great progress. We are currently working on a feature called "offline mode" so that you can access your troop data even when you don't have internet access.
Here's a screenshot, just for fun:
This morning I went on a rampage against bugs and fixed a number of scenarios that were causing users to experience "We're sorry but something went wrong" pages. Here's a list of the bugs I fixed:
- The site crashes if a user removes all parameters from the individual progress reports url
- The site crashes if you try to purchase a ticket for youth guests and the number of guests or the dues are nil
- The site crashes if there are validation errors while updating troop settings
- The site crashes if a user prints a BSA permission slip without choosing an event
- The site crashes on the library items index if an item is checked out to a deleted user
- The site crashes on the equipment items index if an item is checked out to a deleted user
- The site crashes if you hand enter a date for a training tracker that has a five digit year
We've completed entering the varsity awards, available only if you turn the "LDS Unit" troop setting on. Here's a list of all the awards available for use by LDS scouting units.Permalink
I released some changes that provide better support for BSA troops sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints this morning. Here's a rundown of the changes:
1) There will be a new troop setting called "LDS Unit". This setting must be checked to turn these new features on.
2) Patrols can be associated with a unit - troop, team, or crew.
3) Youth in a patrol that is associated with a team or crew will have all scouting awards available plus the awards for teams/crews.
4) You will be able to record bulk progress on team/crew awards
Along with this change, we will also be releasing a re-design of the troop settings to make it easier to use. This re-design will be for all customers, not just LDS units.
Releasing this feature will also kick off our effort to update the Venturing program and add in all the Varsity awards. You should start seeing those awards late next week or the week after.
Here are a couple of screenshots related to this new feature:
This morning we pushed three minor updates:
1) Shipping on blue cards and award cards was reduced from $10 per packet to $6 per packet. This was the result of evaluating shipping options with the USPS and figuring out that we can barely fit a packet into a flat rate envelope.
2) The logic for determining if you are ready to accept online payments was enhanced to avoid error conditions. The links for depositing funds into money accounts and the ability to purchase tickets to events will not be available if you haven't selected a payment provider and a default money account.
3) We have removed Amazon from the payment provider list. Amazon has decided to retire their current payment processing solution on June 1st and replace it with an entirely different service. We are still evaluating whether we will support the new Amazon service, but in the meantime we are not allowing any additional troops to sign up for Amazon Payments. All troops currently using Amazon Payments will be able to continue to do so until June when Amazon shuts the service down. At that time they will need to pick a different provider.
Related to #3... we are going to start work on adding support for using PayPal to accept payments online. We'll keep you posted as we progress with this integration.Permalink
This morning we deployed a fix to the "Deposit Funds" feature for troops using Stripe. You can now use your credit card to deposit funds directly into a money account you own. It's simple and fast and you know immediately if the transaction went through.Permalink
I've just deployed some changes to fix a few important bugs:
- Setting up a Stripe payment account was not working for troops using their subdomain to set it up
- Setting up an Amazon payment account was not working
- We accidentally broke the display of Individual Progress Reports and printed Award Cards with a change earlier this week. That problem is also fixed.
Thanks to everyone who reported these problems - we appreciate your help and patience.Permalink
We released some minor changes this morning. They are:
- Dropdown menus on the mobile version of the site are readable for Trail Life USA users
- The money books feature works on small screens using the mobile version of the site
- Users can delete medical forms from the user profile
- The link to Manage -> Money Accounts is viewable by any user with one or more money accounts assigned to them
Also, I am considering completely removing the medical records feature in TroopTrack. Storing medical records online is fairly risky and I'm concerned about the harm it could cause. I expect I will probably decide and take action by April. When that happens I will communicate more about it.
If you are currently using TroopTrack to store medical records, please read this blog post from the BSA.
This morning we released a BETA version of the mobile version of the site. NOTE: we're not talking about a mobile APP, just how the web site looks on small mobile devices.
This is a BETA release, so don't expect it to be perfect. Using it is totally optional. If you log in to TroopTrack on a phone, you will see a "Switch to Mobile Version" link in the top header. You can switch back to the full site at any time.
I've worked through most of the screens and gotten rid of the need to pan & pinch in most places. I'm still working through screens on the achieve and share menus though.
At this point I'm not looking for feedback about needing to pan & pinch. We'll get there soon, but for now what I'm mostly interested in is stuff that just doesn't work at all on a mobile device, such as menus that you can't access, etc.
Thanks to everyone who discussed this feature yesterday. It really helped me figure out the best way to run this beta test. I've included screenshots showing how to switch versions.
A feature we've always called "multi-troop" went live this morning. This feature is for people who have multiple TroopTrack accounts in DIFFERENT units, such as a BSA Pack and Troop or an AHG Troop and Trail Life USA Troop. Until now, you've needed separate user names and passwords for each account, but no more. Now you can merge those accounts and only worry about remembering one user name and password. Here's how you use it:
1) Click on your name in the top header
2) Click the "Merge Account" link
3) Enter your user name and password and submit
4) Switch troops anytime by clicking on your name and clicking on the troop you want.
Here's a screenshot of the feature in action.
Happy Feature Friday! Today we are releasing one-page individual progress reports for Boy Scout Troops. These one-page reports list all the requirements from Scout -> Eagle in one easy to read format. You can print them for one scout, for everyone in a patrol, or for your whole troop. You can get there in two ways:
1) Achieve -> Individual Progress Reports. Use this method if you want to print reports for multiple boys at the same time.
2) From the scout's profile, go to the Achievements tab and click "Print My Progress Report".
I've included a screenshot of the report.
This is the 1.0 of the progress report. The next time I work on this I will add merit badge and leadership history to the back. I am also planning to include it in the newsletter as an attachment.
Are you in an AHG Troop, Cub Scout Pack, etc and thinking "But what about me!?!?" Don't fret. We'll make a report like this for each unit type we support before too long.
Do you have multiple TroopTrack accounts? Are you sick of having multiple user names? We are looking for a few brave people to be multi-troop guinea pigs. We might be releasing this feature soon and we need a few courageous souls to try it out on. If that's you, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com with the subject "Multi-troop" and include your various user names.Permalink
This morning we released some nice enhancements to printing blue cards. Here they are:
1) You'll be able to print blue cards from the merit badge tab on a user's profile
2) You'll be able to print blue cards based on the results of options chosen using the merit badge book. This includes the ability to print a blue card for every merit badge ever earned in your troop. This can take a few minutes, so the PDF is actually emailed to you when it's ready.
3) You'll be able to upload images of signed blue cards for a merit badge on the user profile.
4) Blue cards printed with the methods described in #1 & #2 will include the requirement #'s and completion dates on the back.
5) I add a few more places where I shamelessly promote our micro-perforated blue card paper. It makes using blue cards completely hand-cramp free!
Here's a screenshot of the new additions to the user profile:
And here's a screenshot from the merit badge book.
This morning I pushed an update with some minor bug fixes, including:
- Excluding deactivated members from receiving the newsletter
- Excluding assignments for which the due date has passed from the newsletter
- Fixing a bug in the user profile that cause the screen to not display the changes to a user's privileges immediately after saving
I've also pushed some important updates to the API that will be used by the mobile app. As we've built out the API we have thought of many other uses for it beyond the mobile app. I have heard ideas from many of you as well, some of whom are software developers. This got me thinking and...
I'm excited to announce that following the launch of the iOS mobile app we will launch a TroopTrack developer program. Approved developers will be able to use the API to build third-party applications to extend what you can already do with TroopTrack. We'll have more details after the iOS mobile app launches. If you are interested in joining the developer program, send an email to email@example.com and he will add you to the list.
Stay tuned.Permalink

Report: Big Ears Festival
[Knoxville, TN; 03/26-03/28/10]
Last year, at the first Big Ears music festival in Knoxville, Tenn., Jon Hassell headlined the opening Friday night at the Bijou Theatre, then the event's largest venue. Despite two balconies and the twin overhead loges that flank both sides, the Bijou is spartan and intimate, holding about 750 people. Hassell is a Memphis-born composer and trumpeter who breathes electronic and acoustic tones into gradually shifting atmospheres. And so, it was an elegant, understated, and quiet night: The small crowd sat in their seats, letting their eyes glaze delightedly as Hassell and his band filled the air with their slow drifts.
This year, though, at the second Big Ears, London's the xx headlined Friday night at the Bijou, now the festival's second largest room by half. On the second-level loge at stage left, a pair of young lovers stood, intertwined and swaying, his hand pushing beneath her shirt and then below the waistband of her jeans as they sang along-- smilingly, sloppily-- to "Islands." The xx make understated and elegant music, too, and their stark aesthetic-- black and white, like the coolest youth militia ever-- is stunning. But, at its core, the xx make pop music-- for singing, for dancing, for, ostensibly, copping a feel above a room of strangers.
__The xx
Indeed, in its second year, Big Ears-- presented by AC Entertainment, the same Tennessee-based company that presents Bonnaroo, and co-curated by the National guitarist Bryce Dessner-- underwent a sea change. Last year, Big Ears was the sort of highly curated festival that America doesn't really have, treating experimental music like life blood-- big names included Antony & the Johnsons, Philip Glass, Matmos, and the Necks, making their stateside debut. This year, though, the festival flanked some of the more provocative and, well, famous indie rock acts-- Joanna Newsom, the Dirty Projectors, the XX, Vampire Weekend, St. Vincent, the Books-- with icons and promising upstarts hand-picked from the fringes.
Terry Riley, the bald, bearded, jolly 75-year-old minimalism and new age pioneer, performed four times in three days. Sound artists Ben Frost, Tim Hecker, and William Basinski shared bills and sets. Brooklyn black metal dudes Liturgy played twice, and DJ/rupture mixed Imogen Heap with dub and harsh noise. Instead of putting the headliners in the Bijou, the biggest bands played the Tennessee Theatre, a Faberge egg of a place, with gilded walls and a ceiling that suggests staring into the heavens. In the end, all of these combinations and shifts made for an incredibly progressive yet accessible festival. In comfortable, affable Knoxville, far removed from the prior week's hustle and bustle of South by Southwest, Big Ears again felt like a long weekend of paradise-- and again a still must-attend, if very different than before, music festival.
__DJ /rupture
Booking shows that really never happen-- and might never happen again-- didn't hurt: Riley, for instance, played "Night Music" Sunday evening, a "long, noodling ramble" that he admitted he rarely played live. With his fingers and a Steinway piano, he shaped a half-hour trance, his left hand creating a spider web of rhythm as his right hand supplied streams of rapid melodies and arpeggios. Earlier in the day, the Bang on a Can All-Stars did the same with Brian Eno's "Music for Airports". (They qualify as the festival's actual all-stars.) Their rendition of that Eno landmark's first side mesmerized in the late afternoon. The night before, they played Riley's "Autodreamigraphical Tales" and "In C" until 2:30 a.m., following a set of compositions by Dave Longstreth and Thurston Moore. Guitarist Mark Stewart elicited gorgeous, tiny rays of distortion from his six strings by bending his whole body from side to side. And playing in the grand Tennessee Theatre, Basinski brought some of his tape loops, filling the room with a sound that was as light as air but as thick as lava, his cycles of sound decaying and reforming in mesmerizing, spontaneous patterns.
__The National With St. Vincent and My Brightest Diamond's Shara Worden
The National premiered a slew of new songs from their upcoming album High Violet. The gigantic "I'm Afraid of Everyone" filled the Tennessee with Matt Berninger's anxious baritone and Sufjan Stevens' airy backing coos. For someone who has played in front of audiences so rarely of late, Stevens popped up surprisingly often in Knoxville-- showing his BQE at the Knoxville Museum of Art and singing with Clogs Saturday afternoon, and, at Sunday's finale, joining an expanded ensemble of the National.
__The National With Sufjan Stevens
Importantly, very few of the larger acts treated their Big Ears appearances like just another gig on another tour. Despite Annie Clark's porcelain visage, emphasized Sunday afternoon both by her stark, figure-clinging black dress and the scruffy indie rock dudes surrounding her, St. Vincent roared. She'd pound her guitar and thrash about in fits and starts, even crashing to her knees during "Your Lips Are Red" to twist out a dense noise spree. It was as if, given the context of the rest of the festival, Clark was out to prove her outsider bona fides. Her set-- a mix of occasional delicacy and unapologetic uproar-- left no questions. Perhaps inspired by bassist Nat Baldwin's Liturgy T-shirt, the Dirty Projectors similarly pulverized "Useful Chamber", howling and screaming and playing with more aggression than expected.
__St. Vincent
Or, in a small wood-floored room in the back of a city square cafe, Andrew W.K. and the Calder Quartet interpreted pieces by Fred Frith and Philip Glass-- and, of course, a handful of W.K.'s soaking party jams. They closed the set with John Cage's "4'33", confusing a Friday night crowd that had clearly come to get wet. One fan even threatened to hurl a bottle at W.K. He's irrepressible, though: he skipped his intermission, explaining that, though he needed to use the restroom, he'd rather improvise a piano song for the crowd: "Urination does not matter," he said. "Absorb the toxins back into your body. Let them take you to a higher place."
And even the bands that did treat the show like any other tour stop played their roles perfectly: The kids formed a blocks-long line for Vampire Weekend hours before doors opened, and, inside, they screamed like the Jonas Brothers had arrived. The band responded in kind-- with energy, with dancing and most of all with an addition to indie rock that, in spite of its idiosyncrasies, is world-famous. I'm not much of a Vampire Weekend fan, but watching 1,600 people shout along to the frenetic jerk of "Cousins"-- in a college town in Tennessee on a Saturday evening at an experimental music festival-- suggested promise, really, for bigger ears.
After all, Terry Riley was up next.

Reversible transgenesis that leaves no trace behind
One of the advantages of the PiggyBac Transposon System* is the reversibility of the integration event. With the Excision-only PiggyBac Transposase, delivered by transient transfection of the Exicison-only PiggyBac Transposase Expression Vector, you can remove any DNA integrated into the genome using the PiggyBac Transposon System. After removal of the PiggyBac insert, the genomic DNA is restored to the original sequence with no residual PiggyBac sequences left behind, resulting in a truly footprint-free removal.
Both the Excision-only PiggyBac Transposase and the Super PiggyBac Transposase (Cat.# PB210PA-1) recognize transposon-specific inverted terminal repeats (ITRs). While the Super PiggyBac Transposase has both excision and integration activities that enable the enzyme to mediate removal of the ITRs and intervening DNA from one location (the vector) and insert that DNA fragment into another location (the genome), the Excision-only PiggyBac Transposase only has the excision activity. Thus, the Excision-only PiggyBac Transposase can be used to remove DNA segments from the genome that are bordered by the PiggyBac transposon ITRs.
With the PiggyBac Transposon System, you can:
- Make transgenic cell lines with a single transfection
- Integrate multiple PiggyBac Vectors in a single transfection
- Insert an expression cassette into human, mouse, and rat cells
- Deliver virtually any-sized DNA insert, from 10 – 100 kb
- Choose from PiggyBac Vectors that express your gene-of-interest from constitutive or inducible promoters and include a variety of markers
- Determine the number of integration events with the PiggyBac qPCR Copy Number Kit (# PBC100A-1)
Customer Agreements
Academic customers can purchase PiggyBac Transposon System components for internal research purposes for indefinite use, whereas commercial customers must sign a customer agreement for a six-month, limited-use license to test the technology.
For end user license information, see the following:
* SBI is fully licensed to distribute PiggyBac vectors as a partnership with Transposagen Biopharmaceuticals, Inc.

About Me
So who am I, and what do I do.
Well, my real world name is Darren Wright, I'm currently 36, live in Rugby in the Midlands and live with my beautiful other half, Christina (I shall be referring to her as C, usually, however ….;))
I have many online handles, UB3RG33K, BassJunkie, D5120 to name just a few. I currently have 1 or more of all the gaming consoles, as I love to game, even got one of the little portable Sega Master System things.
Basically, I'm a jack of all trades, I've been interested in computers since the ripe old age of 8, where a spent the majority of my childhood sat punching in many lines of code from a computer magazine, just to get a bird made from ASCII characters to fly across the screen on my Commodore Vic-20. I then took the natural steps to Commodore C64, Amstrad CPC-464 and the Speccy ZX-81, +2 and +3. Way back in the early 90's, I got my hands on a green screen IBM 286, a copy of DOS 3.3 on 5 ¼ inch disks and went from there. Alot has changed since those days, machines are slightly faster, and a lot less stable….thank you Microsoft !
My day job does consist of computers, many, many different computer, and many different platforms. I work on anything from Windows to the AS/400 platform, with all the many flavours of UNIX in between.
As for my hobbies….while I'm not working, sleeping, eating, drinking or gaming, I'm usually designing websites, designing in Photoshop or my new found love for 3D Studio Max. I've got a handful of websites under my belt, mainly for family and friend, however I'd done a few "professional" sites.
I / we, (myself and my partner in crime Tony Lunn), have worked on a few project together, machinima and podcasts, and recently decided to create an umbrella company name to house all the projects, the company name is Fictionshed.
Finally, tech, I LOOOVVVEEE tech, and have to have the latest toys and gadgets. My purchases in 2008 were as follows (please note, I've only listed the big ones :))
1 x Sony Bravia 40″ LCD (for the bedroom)
1 x Samsung Series 5 52″ LCD (for the front room)
2 x PS3's (one for the bedroom, one for downstairs)
2 x Samsung Sky HD boxes (one for the bedroom, one for downstairs)
2 x Onkyo SR606 True HD Amps (again, one for downstairs, one for the bedroom)
1 x Acer Aspire Easystore 2TB Network raid drive, with media server
1 x XBOX 360 Elite
1 x Halo Reach Limited Edition XBOX 360 Elite
1 x Phillips DVP5980 Upscaling DVD player
1 x Toshiba XDE Upscaling DVD Player
1 x iPhone 4
2 x 27″ i5 iMacs
1 x Mac Mini
2 x 15.4″ MacBook Pros
Apparently I have more money than sense, which is probably true, but please don't think I'm rich !, just little sense, and a need for need for new shiny things.
Well that's about it, anything else you want you know, please feel free to ask.

Check Out: Zola Blood, "Meridian"
London four-piece outfit Zola Blood, the latest act to sign with Pond Life, became the 4th most blogged about artist on the Hype Machine with the success of their debut single, "Grace," which garnered them 100,000 listens. According to a press release, the group are prepping the release of their debut Meridian EP, which they apparently "developed over a year in a windowless Hackney Wick studio." With a sound that's both "minimal and textured," "Grace" is a soaring electronic soundscape, while their latest, "Meridian" is more subdued, but still effective, an ambient piece of subtle electronic music that relies on a quiet but throbbing drum line. Kind of brings Local Natives to mind, if they were partial to beats and synthesizers. Hear it below; Meridian EP is out in October.

I couldn't help laughing when this silkie pullet with her snowy white beard self styled her 'do with a stray feather. Is she one of the seven dwarves? Maybe one of the three musketeers?? Or is she Yankee Doodle Dandy???
Welcome to my blog. This is a place where I can share the little day to day stories of a small farm on the outskirts of Sydney, NSW. Our family has always enjoyed recounting tales of all the entertaining farm events and interactions we observe as we work among the animals and plants each day. I hope you'll also enjoy them as I share them with you through this blog.
