What's the weather in Zanzibar?
Zanzibar is hot all year, so no matter when you visit, you can expect to top up your tan. The only weather factor you will need to bear in mind when planning your trip is rainfall. April, November and December are the wettest months and it can rain 19 days out of the month! To avoid the rain, travel in February or between June and August. This way, you can enjoy the sun completely.

This is awesome - thanks for the inspiration! Have you heard the parody of N**gas in Paris called B*tches in Bookshops. I think you would love: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQiEJk-o5WA&feature=shareReplyDelete
I'm all about busting out some cardio or picking up a dull day to Lil Wayne's "Drop the World", Tyga's "Ayy Ladies" or "Make it Nasty", Nick Minaj's "Did it on em" and basically anything by Too $hort! For non hip-hop Arkells "Book Club", Brighten's "Better Way", Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call me Maybe" aaaaand Friendly Fire's "Hurting". My gym/ pick me up playlist is pretty eclectic but it keeps me movin'!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 7, 2012 at 10:23 PM
i have to constantly keep my workout playlist fresh and full of new music, or i get bored! recently i've been loving old school elvis, glee mash-ups, pitbull, nicki minaj, and kings of leon. my gym plays pretty good music over their sound system so sometimes i'll listen to whatever they're blaring.ReplyDelete
and i agree, sweating in the morning is the best way to start my day!
Ok, I never comment but I do love me a good workout song. Some off my most recent playlist:ReplyDelete
Stronger by Kanye West, Amazing by Kanye
Sink to the Beat by Cursive
Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson
Daylight by Matt and Kim
New Noise by Refused
Out of the Races and Onto the Tracks by The Rapture
Sleepyhead by Passion Pit
Hope you like them!
Embarrassing but... "Electric" by The DNC (feat. Miss Amani) and "Backseat" by New Boyz have been on my workout playlist for quite awhile. I change the other songs but those tend to stay on there. I'm going to keep checking the comments on this post to find new songs.ReplyDelete
I have a whole playlist of Lady Gaga songs to get me going during cardio. :)ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 8, 2012 at 4:27 AM
I don't have a set playlist however whenever I want to run I put the Girl Talk channel on my Pandora. Really pumps me up!ReplyDelete
yes! i love when you post playlists! New music is just is exciting! A good workout song for me is 'My Body' by Young The Giant. It really keeps me motivated.ReplyDelete
Wolf Like Me - TV on the RadioReplyDelete
what earphones do you use? I can't find any that I really like or trust to stay in my ears... which makes workout mixes at the gym really tough :(ReplyDelete
i LOVE playlists for working out...never heard selena gomez sing and i really like her voice. my ABSOLUTE favorite tracks that get me pumped are: Genesis by Justice and 1,000 Cigarettes by MSTRKRFT. =)ReplyDelete
I love Girl Talk, "Let it Rock" by Kevin Rudolf is one of my favorites, and for some reason "Howlin for You" by the Black Keys gets me pumped. Enjoy your workouts!ReplyDelete

Perfect timing on this post! I just had my 3rd baby a month ago and have just started working out again in the last week. I started Insanity - for the 4th time - a few days ago and I went on my first run last weekend at the beach...while pushing my monster of a 20 month old in the BOB. Imagine my disappointment when I realized my running playlist was no longer on my phone because I'd JUST bought a new phone and hadn't sync'd it yet. Ugh. Anyway, a few of my running faves (I need a fast beat):ReplyDelete
ANYTHING by Girl Talk...especially the latest album
Seventy Times Seven // Brand New
Save The World // Swedish House Mafia (I particularly like the Alesso mix)
Ambulance // Blood Brothers
Look At Me Now // Chris Brown + a bunch of people
Sweetheart // Closure in Moscow (gotta plug 'em - they're a friend's band out of my home city of Portland, OR)
United States of Pop 2009 // DJ Earworm
You'll Rebel to Anything (entire album) // Mindless Self Indulgence
A Life Less Ordinary // Motion City Soundtrack
It's kind of all over the place, but I love running/keeping pace to all of 'em.
Check out my post about Insanity and follow along as I try to not die from muscle failure as I get bikini ready a month after having a baby!
- AnonymousMay 8, 2012 at 6:27 AM
LOVE these! I need a running list.ReplyDelete
Once I have it down i'll fill you in!
Louise xo
Oh yes, this playlist makes me want to leave work and run home! hahaReplyDelete
My suggestions:
"I Can't Do It Alone"-3OH!3
"Guernica"-Brand New
"Giving Up the Gun"-Vampire Weekend
"Watagatapitusberry"-Black Point
"Crawling Towards the Sun"-The Hush Sound (I found that the music to this song goes along well with my rhythm on an elliptical.)
"Weak and Powerless" and "The Outsider"-A Perfect Circle
"Time Is Running Out"-Muse
And pretty much any Pitbull, Britney Spears, T-Pain, Chris Brown, Lady Gaga, Rhianna, etc. song that is loud and fast. :)
I used to always listen to arctic monkeys or bloc party or the prodigy...and t-pain.ReplyDelete
Just a question--when you work out in the morning, do you have breakfast? I've always wanted to be a morning workout person, but I don't think I could do it without eating and I can't think of many foods that wouldn't want to come up with all that jostling around.ReplyDeleteReplies
- AnonymousMay 8, 2012 at 8:29 PM
I can't speak for everyone but I am one of those rare people that prefers AND enjoys working out early in the morning, and I've found that in order to not pass out from starvation during my morning workouts I have to start my workout straight out of bed. So the night before I make sure everything I need (clothes, shoes, water bottle, reflective belt for running, etc) is all laid out and ready to go. That way when I wake up I'm ready to go. And then after my workout, then I eat. A huge, filling breakfast. I've tried working out after being up and awake for literally just a few minutes - maybe 15 or so - and I find it almost impossible because by that time I'm starving. :)Delete
I am the EXACT same way as Kelsey. I don't eat anything before I go, but I go right away, then come home and eat a huge breakfast. The only difference is if I go to hot yoga first thing, and then I get up earlier and eat a banana- but that's it. I know it's not for everyone, but I prefer to do my cardio in the morning on an empty stomach.Delete
I totally have that Selena Gomez song on mine too, haha. Thanks for posting yours and asking everyone else to post some! I've been looking for some new workout music :)ReplyDelete
Here are some of my favorites:
Sexy & I know it - LMFAO
Song 2 - Blur
Moves Like Jagger - Maroon 5
Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You) - Kelly Clarkson
Smooth - Santana & Rob Thomas
Piece of Me - Britney Spears
Maria, Maria - Santana
LOVE SELENA and I am loving that you added her to your playlist! I listen to a lot of Kanye during workouts (Stronger, Power, The Good Life, Can't Tell Me Nothing) but I also find that Lady Gaga (Bad Romance, Alejandro) and Drake (Over, Forever) are also favorites. I'm also really fond of 90s dance tunes like this playlist I made http://pl.st/p/23046949643 if you want to check those out! I find that anything I would jump around listening to, makes for a good workout, so pop is ALWAYS a stand by. Also check out Wolf Like Me by TV On The Radio and old Jimmy Eat World like Sweetness, The Middle etc. Happy Work Outs!ReplyDelete
Totally semi-embarrassing...ReplyDelete
For running my "Power Songs" are:
*Lose Yourself* and
*Love The Way You Lie* by Eminem.
For cycle class my fav's are:
*Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)* by Journey
*Awake and Alive* by Skillet
- AnonymousMay 8, 2012 at 9:33 AM
I just ran my first 5k race, and these (CHEESY EMBARASSING) songs were definitely part of the reason I completed it:ReplyDelete
1. Fancy by Drake
2. Make Me Proud by Drake and Nicki Minaj (Aw, see. Drake's proud of you while you run!)
3. Countdown by Beyonce
4. Baby by Justin Bieber (I know! I know!)
5. All I Do is Win by T-Pain, Ludacris, etc
6. On to the Next One by Jay-Z
...I promise I like good music too. But there's nothing like bad pop music to get a workout started!
So pumped that you shared this with us. Gonna start going to the gym this week (finally!) and get ready for summer, and cardio is the way to go! Thanks Danielle! xoxoReplyDelete

However, for a long time I considered sketches to be merely a training or of secondary importance. It was since 2008 when I participated in one of the World Wide SketchCrawl events that I found the joy of sketching and sharing. In other words, I discovered how much potential sketches themselves have. Since then, I am hooked on sketching.
I enjoy sketching on location very much. Landscape, buildings, people, animals, plants. It's like a dialogue with the subject. For example, when I draw an old tree, I feel as if I am listening to its story. An old tree — like a old man — has a long, complicated story and what I do is transcribe it in the form of a sketch. The story has ups and downs like its branches do, and it has intricate details exactly the way its leaves look. So I try to capture as much details as possible, but I sometimes have to sum up some of them due to the circumstances. Or I may amplify something interesting. But that's not an exaggeration, just a result of the struggle to earnestly focus my attention to it.
I live in Kanagawa prefecture, where famous tourist spots are, such as Yokohama, Enoshima, Kamakura, Hakone and so on. I also go sketching to Tokyo. The view of Tokyo is not as photogenic as other prominent cities are. But has a lot of interesting, new and old places to draw. For instance, there is a new tower called Tokyo Sky Tree. When it is completed in 2012 it will be one of the tallest in the world. So I'm planing to sketch it on a regular basis.
I also enjoy very much seeing other sketchers works depicting things with unique style. Their various approaches always impress me, inspire me!
I am so happy to be aboard USk!"

Editor, the Record:
Editor, the Record:
In regard to the Jan. 31 article about author Susan Reynolds' experience with angels: Everything we need to know about angels is in the Bible. Angels are powerful supernatural beings created by God who carry out His commands. Angels filled the heavens to announce the birth of Christ in Bethlehem, Judah. God uses angels to work out destinies of men and nations. All angels in heaven rejoice when one sinner repents. Angels protect us and record what we do, but no angels are a personal friend or spirit guide to any individual.
Bible Colossians 2:16 — Jesus Christ fulfilled all things Moses' law required concerning foods, feasts and sacrifices for sins so all we need now is Christ. Worshipping angels sends out a statement that we don't need Christ. We are not to follow anyone who worships angels. Their mind is sinfully filled with arrogance as they give endless details of the visions they have seen and they don't hold onto Christ.
Bible-Jeremiah 31:31— The only spirit God promised to give us as a guide is the Holy Spirit to change our heart.
The Bible speaks about fallen angels. God made hell specifically for the devil and his angels, not for us. But those who continue to enjoy a lifestyle of sin without repenting and turning to Jesus for salvation will be taken at death by these demonic angels to hell. God has real angels but demons disguise themselves as angels of light, deceiving and leading people away from Christ. Jesus said if an angel or person preach another message to us but faith in Christ, they will be accused — damned to hell.

Freshman Betsy Vendel scored three goals for the fourth straight game, but Central Connecticut State University dropped a 16-4 home decision against Virginia Tech on Thursday. Sophomore Ashley Perkoski added one score as the Blue Devils fall to 2-2 on the season. CCSU will next head on the road for contests against Sacred Heart and Quinnipiac.
The Hokies got on the board first as they tallied two goals within the first two minutes of play. Central countered with Perkoski's lone goal of the game, as she was assisted on the score by freshman Ali Roche at the 24:36 mark.
Tech then rattled off six goals in a row to take an 8-1 lead with just over 10 minutes left in the first half. Junior Caitlyn Wier was integral during the stretch, tallying two goals and an assist during the 9:11 run.
Vendel put a stop to the Hokie run when she netted her first and second goals of the game within a 13 second span. The freshman found the net with 10:32 to play to make it 8-2 and then scored again at the 10:19 mark on an assist from freshman Mackenzy Ryan.
Virginia Tech scored twice more before the half and led 10-3 at the break. The second half started similarly to the first, as the Hokies scored the first two goals and Central countered with one of its own. This time it was Vendel recording her fourth hat trick of the season with 23:50 to play which made it 12-4 Tech.
The Blue Devils then gave up the final four scores as Virginia Tech went on to the 16-4 victory. Roche led CCSU with three ground balls in the game, while freshman Caitlin Karner totaled a team high three caused turnovers. Vendel, junior Michele Conway and sophomore Ashley Mara each picked up one draw control in the defeat.

Just got back and checked my results from the weekend. Looks like I did pretty poor with 3 ofers in the last 4 days. Sorry if anyone followed my lead and picked along with me.
hammanm – When you have o-fers, it's good to get them all at once. I'm going with Ellsbury tonight.
I can not believe how the Pirates have manhandled the Dodgers the past few days.
The Kings "September Challenge" of putting together a 30 game streak to win 2 tickets to an opening day game in 2010 (Value $100) seems to have missed it's mark. Looks like fewer that 10 bts players are eligibe to win. It would be good publicity for the game if the bar was set lower next year and more players could win. The prize is minimal, would not hurt to a bunch of winners. Say a 15 or 20 game streak for next year.
With 6 guaranteed days left in the season and maybe a potential for 2 days worth of tiebreakers, should there be a 3-way tie for the NL Wild Card, the following people still have a chance to hit 30 games:
1) reaching 30 by Sunday: 3
2) reaching 30 by Monday (if necessary): 0 additional
3) reaching 30 by Tuesday (if necessary): 1 additional
Also, no one in MLB.com Survivor can pass the leader, so the only excitement left for the regular season is for Beat the Streak: Home Run Edition.
Here, a ******** 1,000 players, including myself can tie the leader by Sunday and pass him if there is 1 game playoff.
I had Ben Zobrist for Monday to make a 1-game HR streak and the leader is at 7 games.
Is anyone else still playing the HR edition here?
wow! they censored the word "****-ping"? wtf?
w-h-o-p-p-i-n-g 1,000 players is what the starred phrase should have said.
no idea why that word is blocked?
Tuesday 9/29
Going with Victor Martinez today in bts.
HR BTS – I had David Ortiz last night and tonight I'm going with Youklis. Boston at home and wind is blowing out a ******** 17 mph SSW toward center field.
Check out this web site for game day weather conditions.
Especially impt for wind with HR BTS.
When do you think the playoff bts will be posted? Does the King wait until all teams are finalized?
The Kings court jester, ooops, I mean censor blocked out the word ******** 17 mph SSW toward center field again. The jester could be sensititve to this word as maybe he is Italian?

Power lines, sage grouse at risk during Indian Fire
The lightning-caused fire near Mono Lake was declared 100 percent contained Wednesday, and firefighters are increasingly being moved from the Indian Fire to other fires in the state and country.
At its peak, 571 people were assigned to the fire. Two main reasons drove the relatively high staffing of the fire, given there were no structures threatened and no human lives at stake.
One was the presence of one of the big power transmission lines in the area, according to fire officials, who updated the Mono County Board of Supervisors on the fire at the board's regular meeting Tuesday.
The big transmission lines run through the Adobe Valley and near the Granite Peaks Wilderness area, and fire officials said the threat of losing the lines during one of the hottest weeks of the year put the fire near the top of the state's fire fighting priority list.
Another factor was the fact that the fire was in an area frequented by sage grouse and the region's native sage grouse is a candidate for the Endangered Species Act list, a fate most local and regional land managers wish to avoid.
The thunderstorm and lightning that sparked the 12,574-acre fire passed through the Eastern Sierra Wednesday afternoon, Aug. 8, and ignited the fire about five miles southeast of Mono Lake and north of Highway 120 on Bureau of Land Management public lands.
The Indian Fire grew rapidly Wednesday through Saturday until cooler weather and rain slowed the spread of the fire Saturday.
Full containment was achieved Aug. 15.
An interagency management team from Southern California turned over the management of the Indian Fire to local agencies Aug. 16.

To set your own CHARSET, which is useful if you are dealing with Chinese Japanese and Korean queries.
<?php imap_search($inbox,'BODY "'.$keyword.'"', SE_FREE, "UTF-8"); ?>
imap_search — This function returns an array of messages matching the given search criteria
, string
[, int
$options = SE_FREE
[, string
$charset =
]] )
This function performs a search on the mailbox currently opened in the given IMAP stream.
For example, to match all unanswered messages sent by Mom, you'd use: "UNANSWERED FROM mom". Searches appear to be case insensitive. This list of criteria is from a reading of the UW c-client source code and may be incomplete or inaccurate (see also » RFC2060, section 6.4.4).
由 imap_open() 返回的 IMAP 流。
A string, delimited by spaces, in which the following keywords are
allowed. Any multi-word arguments (e.g.
FROM "joey smith") must be quoted. Results will match
criteria entries.
Valid values for
options are
SE_UID, which causes the returned array to
contain UIDs instead of messages sequence numbers.
MIME character set to use when searching strings.
Returns an array of message numbers or UIDs.
FALSE if it does not understand the search
criteria or no messages have been found.
Example #1 imap_search() example
$conn = imap_open('{imap.example.com:993/imap/ssl}INBOX', 'firstname.lastname@example.com', 'pass123', OP_READONLY);
$some = imap_search($conn, 'SUBJECT "HOWTO be Awesome" SINCE "8 August 2008"', SE_UID);
$msgnos = imap_search($conn, 'ALL');
$uids = imap_search($conn, 'ALL', SE_UID);
Array ( [0] => 4 [1] => 6 [2] => 11 ) Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 2 [2] => 3 [3] => 4 [4] => 5 [5] => 6 ) Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 4 [2] => 6 [3] => 8 [4] => 11 [5] => 12 )
To set your own CHARSET, which is useful if you are dealing with Chinese Japanese and Korean queries.
<?php imap_search($inbox,'BODY "'.$keyword.'"', SE_FREE, "UTF-8"); ?>
The date format for e.g. SINCE is, according to rfc3501:
date = date-text / DQUOTE date-text DQUOTE
date-day = 1*2DIGIT
; Day of month
date-day-fixed = (SP DIGIT) / 2DIGIT
; Fixed-format version of date-day
date-month = "Jan" / "Feb" / "Mar" / "Apr" / "May" / "Jun" /
"Jul" / "Aug" / "Sep" / "Oct" / "Nov" / "Dec"
date-text = date-day "-" date-month "-" date-year
So a valid date is e.g. "22-Jul-2012" with or without the double quotes.
be aware, that imap_search() does NOT (as you may exspect) return an empty array, if nothing was found!
As the manual says, it returns FALSE.
Do not test the result like "count($array)" as I did.
This gives you 1 for an empty result. Took me an hour to found out why :-( RTFM
imap_search() only supports IMAP2 search criterias, because the function mail_criteria() (from c-client lib) is used in ext/imap/php_imap.c for parsing the search string.
IMAP2 search criteria is defined in RFC 1176, section "tag SEARCH search_criteria".
It's not possible to find strings containing double quotes using this function.
For example, if you got a message named : Hello, this is "Bob"
You can try :
imap_search($inbox, 'SUBJECT "Hello, this is "Bob""')
imap_search($inbox, "SUBJECT 'Hello, this is \"Bob\"'")
But both are false, because you did not escape double quotes in the first case, and you can NOT use simple quotes in the imap_search criteria in the second case.
The real problem is that you cannot use simple quotes to surround your criteria in the 2nd argument of imap_search, after SUBJECT.
imap_search() return false if it does not understand the search condition or no messages have been found.
$emails imap_seach($mbox, "UNDELETED SENTSINCE 01-Jan-2002");
if($emails === false)
echo "The search failed";
imap_search() always returns false when op_silent flag is set in the connection parameters.
imap_search function is not fully compatible with IMAP4. the c-client used as of now supports only IMAP2 and some search criterion will not be available for use such as "OR"
So a php code similar to:
$inbox = imap_open('{imap.example.com:993/imap/ssl}INBOX', 'firstname.lastname@example.com', 'pass123', OP_READONLY);
$search_string = 'SUBJECT "FedEx" OR SUBJECT "USPS"';
$emails = imap_search($inbox, $search_string);
will throw an error saying "Unknown search criterion"
observations and reference:
PHP source trace:(ref: https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/master/ext/imap/php_imap.c)

The core search functionality in a core module(IMAP) is still not available in PHP. Hope this will be brought to the developer community's attention...
the second parameter about Criteria does not work well on ON criterion.
In facts if I wish to put parameters from $_get into the format Day-Month-Year (01-01-14 for example) will return Unknown criterion etc.
Probably is not the right format ?
Even with for example Thu-Jan-2014 get the same message.
If email subject is encoded than use encoding charset and option in search to find something.
Mail Header:
Subject: =?UTF-8?Q?XYZ?=
<?php imap_search($inbox,'SUBJECT "'.$keyword.'"', SE_FREE, "UTF-8"); ?>
I haven't found any documentation of the allowed date formats, but (for example) "14 May 2012" works.
// Find UIDs of messages within the past week
$date = date ( "d M Y", strToTime ( "-7 days" ) );
$uids = imap_search ( $mbox, "SINCE \"$date\"", SE_UID );
This search looks for messages matching ALL criteria, not ANY criteria. For example the search
imap_search($mailbox,'FROM "user" TO "user"')
Will return message that have "user" in both the from and to headers, but not messages with "user" in either the from or to header.
This is the correct way to use the imap_search with ON "date"
$date = date("j F Y");
$emails = imap_search($inbox,'ON "'.$date.'"' );
about my previous note:
<<the second parameter about Criteria does not work well on ON criterion.
In facts if I wish to put parameters from $_get into the format Day-Month-Year (01-01-14 for example) will return Unknown criterion etc.
Probably is not the right format ?
Even with for example Thu-Jan-2014 get the same message. >>
Now works ;)
Just to pass not a date string into criteria parameter but a timestamp returned by mktime function, where you can put your date string.
Solution for any date/time criterion is a unix timestamp.
the function "imap_search" not work for some mails , maybe that because header syntax or some bug .
thanks a lot

For all the innuendo in this musical biopic parody, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story is really flaccid. I haven't heard such an intense silence from an audience while watching a film since Schindler's List. I admit when I first walked into the film I wanted to laugh and it took me a few moments of uncertain chuckling to realize that the film really wasn't funny, after that I genuinely laughed twice.
Walk Hard tells the story of Dewey Cox who as a young boy is forced to live out the mock lives of Ray Charles and Johnny Cash, flipping back and forth depending on whenever the writers Judd Apatow and Jake Kasdan want to make fun of Ray or Walk the Line. Instead of letting the essence of the musical biopic inspire Apatow and Kasdan they follow said stories so closely the movie itself doesn't have any legs to stand on of its own. Even though it's meant to mock these films, we know what's going to happen to Dewey from scene one and the creators don't have the fore site to deal with the subject of musical biopics in a creative way. So even the bits that could have worked are mired in the fact that Walk the Line was a pretty good movie and that Ray wasn't bad either, and we already know the stories. We're actually subjected to a scene straight out of Walk when Cox plays for the first time a song that he's written, the joke being in the film that it hits the charts and causes a stir within moments of it's recording. It sounds funny, right? But somehow it's not. How would you like to watch a remake of Walk with Jake Gyllenhaal, or Psycho but with Vince Vaughn…? Here it's John C. Reilly being asked to act out scenes that have already been acted out by other actors. It's not creative nor inventive in the way it approaches its material. It lacks spirit and an interest in truly skewering the films that really deserve it. It's a lazy comedy, repeating many of the jokes over and over again.

Tony Aguilar's 1958 Chevy Wagon
The Road Less Traveled
We dig wagons. The humble utility vehicles reputation as grocery-getter and family truckster has made some custom-oriented people turn away from them in favor of more desirable two-door coupe or sedan body styles. Fortunately, this way of thinking has become as scarce as a 43 Henway, as killer wagons have been making the scene more frequently and proving the naysayers wrong. People are now taking as many liberties with their long-roofed wonders as they have with every other kind of buildable car. Whether its mild or spicy, high-tech or low-buck, wagons are finally gaining the respectability they deserve as suitable raw material for a custom.
Tony Aguilar took the road less traveled in building his mild 58 Chevy wagon. When he originally purchased the car at the Pomona Swap, his plan was to turn it for a quick buck. But once his wife Debbie got a good look at it, she convinced Tony to build it. Always the good husband, Tony tore through the car and had it ready in just over four months. Since then, the Aguilars have done nothing but enjoy their mild custom wagon, taking it to shows all over California.

One verb, two goofs. How is that possible? To start with, the verb in this excerpt from Yahoo! Shine should be singular:
When the subject of the verb is joined by the correlative conjunction neither…nor, the verb must agree in number and person with the noun closer to it. The more glaring error is the use of appraised instead of apprised. They are really very different.
After you appraise this snippet, can you apprise the writer of your findings?

Want Angry Birds for nowt? From tomorrow you can try and get a copy from the Currys- and PC World-branded versions of Intel's AppUp, the chip giant's netbook-centric online app store.
You'll need an Intel-based computer running Windows of course. While AppUp is intended for netbooks, since the Atom chip is thoroughly x86 compatible, downloads should run on any PC.
While Storks last?
Indeed, Currys and PC World owner Dixons said the offer was good for "netbooks, laptops and desktops".
You'll need to be quick, mind. Dixons said it'll only give away 15,000 copies, and the giveaway ends on 31 March 2011, or sooner if the download count passes 15,000. ®

Brian Snyder / Reuters
Washington Capitals' Joel Ward, center, celebrates after scoring the game-winning goal against the Boston Bruins in Game 7 of the NHL Eastern Conference quarter-final hockey playoff series on April 25. His feat was met by a barrage of racist tweets.
Should schools punish students who tweeted racist remarks after a black pro hockey player scored the winning goal to knock the Boston Bruins out of the NHL playoffs?
Administrators at high schools and colleges in New England are wrestling with that question, straddling a fine line between free speech and socially incorrect remarks that shame the school.
Hordes of angry hockey fans – presumably Boston Bruins fans -- unleashed a barrage of racist rants on Twitter and other social-networking sites after the Washington Capitals beat the defending champion Bruins a week ago Wednesday on an overtime goal by Joel Ward, the Capitals' 31-year-old left wing. Ward is one of just a handful of black players in the NHL.
According to local media reports, several students at high schools in Gloucester and Danvers in Massachusetts, the Cumberland, R.I., School District, and Franklin Pierce University in New Hampshire were among the tweeters.
Ward brushed off the denigrating comments. "It's a few people that just made a couple of terrible comments, and what can you do? I know what I signed up for. I'm a black guy playing a predominantly white sport. It's just going to come with the territory," he told reporters last week.
Racist tweets that have since been taken down were traced to at least five Gloucester High School students, including at least three student-athletes, The Gloucester Daily Times reported.
Gloucester School District Superintendent Richard Safier, in a statement issued to the local newspaper two days after the game, said the district is "conducting a full investigation and will consider whether disciplinary action is warranted, and whether the schools have jurisdiction.
"Second, we will implement a strong educational component that looks at the social, moral, and legal aspects of such remarks," he added.
Safier did not return a call from msnbc.com this week about the status of the investigation.
Watch US News videos on msnbc.com
Jonathan Pope, chairman of the seven-member Gloucester School Committee, which sets school policy, said the committee doesn't "have anything on the books" that addresses scenarios like the racist hockey tweets.
"We don't know whether we actually have any legal standing to implement any kinds of penalties for that kind of behavior done outside school on a private communication system," Pope told msnbc.com. "Everything links to what happens in school, what happens on the (school) playing field and what happens during school supplemental activities. It doesn't really apply to what kids do walking down the street."
At Franklin Pierce University, a private college in Rindge, N.H., administrators said they were investigating "vile racial slurs" tweeted by a freshman after the Bruins' loss.
"This first-year student, who is not a part of any Franklin Pierce University athletic team, will be addressed appropriately and in accordance with our Student Conduct Code," the university said in a statement.
The student apologized in a follow-up tweet, saying: "I was in a state that had me frustrated. I am not racist and never will be. Sorry."
A university spokeswoman said student privacy issues prevent the school from disclosing details of the case and possible disciplinary action.
Franklin Pierce students and faculty upset by the tweets held a "Take A Stand" rally Wednesday at the campus courtyard.
In Danvers, Mass., a 17-year-old who reportedly used the N-word in a tweet referring to Ward was fired by the sandwich shop where he works, according to the Danvers Herald.
The teen is a student at St. John's Prep, a private, Catholic high school for boys. "As a school community, St. John's Prep stands against racism in any form, and we are deeply disturbed by the remarks posted online following the Bruins game on Wednesday, April 25. In keeping with school disciplinary policies, we are investigating the matter at this time," the school said. A school spokeswoman declined further comment on any potential action the school might take.
In Cumberland, R.I., school Superintendent Phil Thornton said a junior hockey player posted a racist tweet under his own name, followed by the name of his high school.
"The comments ... are deeply disturbing and not part of what we teach," Thornton said, according to the Boston Herald. "We have been in contact with the family and are taking all steps to address this very serious issue."
In a follow-up radio interview on WPRO's "The Dan Yorke Show," Thornton wouldn't specify what actions, if any, the school might take. He noted that students are entitled to free speech as long as they don't disrupt the learning environment, but those who participate in extracurricular activities such as sports sign an agreement to abide by a code of conduct.
"It says in there, students doing anything unbecoming, i.e. Twitter, social networking, may have a consequence," Thornton said. "In terms of after-school activities, these students are ambassadors. What they say and what do, how they conduct themselves, matters."
Whether schools can punish students for what they post online via social-media networks is not clear-cut.
A 1969 U.S. Supreme Court decision, Tinker vs. Des Moines, found that public schools could only punish students' speech if they could show that the activities "would materially and substantially" disrupt the school's educational mission.
In a more recent case, the Supreme Court in 2007 ruled against an Alaska high school student who argued his free-speech rights were violated when he was suspended for unveiling a "Bong Hits 4 Jesus" banner across the street from the school during the 2002 Olympic Torch Relay. The court said the banner could be interpreted as a pro-illegal drug-use message at a school-sanctioned activity.
"It gets tricky because the Supreme Court's standard for schools being able to punish or discipline students is where speech causes a disruption in school or hurts the learning environment. That's the legal standard," said Eric P. Robinson, deputy director of the Reynolds Center for Courts and Media at the University of Nevada-Reno and former staff attorney at the Media Law Resource Center.
In the hockey tweets case, "it might be a little hard for school administrators to show that sending those messages disrupts school directly," said Robinson, who also blogs about Internet law and policy.
Adam Goldstein, attorney advocate with the Student Press Law Center, an Arlington, Va.-based organization that advocates for students' First Amendment rights and free online speech, said disciplining students for hateful speech is counterproductive.
"I do think it is a case of free expression. There's a problem with the reaction that everything we think is bad is something we should punish," Goldstein said. "I think the attitude that we should punish speech that's racist is what gives that speech power."
Instead, Goldstein said, schools should use the incidents as teaching moments and leave the discipline to parents. "Schools should be taking action; I just don't think the action should be to punish the speech."
Pope, of the Gloucester School Committee, seemed to agree.
"I think ultimately it's a parental issue. On the district level it's really an issue of us trying to use it as a teaching moment and use it to have discussions around diversity and racism," he said.
"We work very hard, but ultimately the parents are the main educators of children."
As to the fine line between students' free speech and potentially disruptive speech, Robinson notes that Twitter, Facebook and other social-networking sites weren't around when the Supreme Court issued its landmark Tinker vs. Des Moines decision, a case that involved students wearing black armbands to protest America's involvement in the Vietnam War.
"There is some thinking that the standard needs to be rethought because of just this sort of circumstance," he said, referring to the hockey tweets. "Social media is challenging a lot of legal ideas and principles when it comes to the First Amendment, and this may be another one of those cases."

Lax Magazine Preseason Top 20 - MCLA D1
Re: Lax Magazine Preseason Top 20 - MCLA D1
Tim Haslam breaks down the pre-season rankings
Read the full story - http://www.laxmagazine.com/college_men/ ... _breakdown
With 2013 MCLA Champion Colorado State and runner-up Colorado both reeling from graduation losses, Arizona State has a big chance to step in and make its mark this spring, ranked No. 1 in Lacrosse Magazine's Preseason Top 20 for the MCLA. Why are the Sun Devils qualified for the top spot? Where will the rest of the chips fall? The case for each of our Top 20 teams is below.
Lacrosse Magazine will continue its 2014 college lacrosse preview throughout January and into February, with team-by-team breakdowns of the top teams in NCAA Division I, II and III, and NJCAA and club men's and women's lacrosse. Follow the countdown atLaxMagazine.com/LMranks and on Twitter at #LMranks.
1. Arizona State (18-3) | Semifinalist
Justin Straker, Dan Davis and Logan Quinn will look to replace All-American Payson Clark. Sophomore goalie Preston Anderson will look to lead the defense as the Sun Devils chase the SLC Championship and a trip to the national tournament.
2. Colorado State (21-0) | National Champion
The two-time national champions will have their work cut out for them. Not only do they have one of the toughest schedules, but they also graduated four defenders, an LSM, six key midfielders and their leading scorer. Needless to say, the Rams will look to reload instead of rebuild.
3. Colorado (18-3) | Runner-up
The biggest loss for the Buffaloes will be All-American goalie Brad Macnee, who finished his career with 703 saves and a career save percentage of 58 percent. Junior Jace Gan and senior Jack Cranston will hope to make up for the loss on the defensive end by leading an already solid offense.
4. Brigham Young (16-5) | Semifinalist
Junior attackman Mike Fabrizio tallied 52 goals and 32 assists last season and will surely lead the Cougar attack again. BYU takes to the road early and often, playing eight of their first nine games on the road.
5. Chapman (13-6) | First Round
The Panthers will benefit the most from the tournament moving to the West Coast with the semifinals and championship game being held in their stadium. Chapman will have to prove they belong and will have ample opportunity as they facing nine of the Top 20.
6. UC Santa Barbara (14-7) | Quarterfinalist
The Gauchos return senior goalie Conrad Carlson, who will lead a defense that kept them in games. Two road trips will test the Gauchos, who will take on Sonoma State and California in late February and a trip to Utah in late March to visit Westminster and BYU in 3 days.
7. Michigan State (14-3) | Quarterfinalist
Junior Goalie Matt Allemang will once again lead the defense on a team that didn't allow any opponent to score double digits in 2013 en route to a CCLA title. Michigan State will take a road trip in early March to face BYU and Colorado State in Colorado that will give the Spartans an early measuring stick.
8. Grand Canyon (8-6) | First Round
The Lopes made it to the tournament in their first year of D-I play and will look to continue their success in 2014. Senior Carson Barton (55g, 30a) hopes to lead the team past the first round. Grand Canyon will open their season with Colorado State and Minn-Duluth.
9. Oregon (12-6) | Quarterfinalist
Seniors Benton Souers (40g, 20a) and Evan Merritt (32g, 9a) will look to lead the Ducks to Orange County and make it past the quarterfinals. Oregon will face early tests against BYU, Colorado State and Simon Fraser.
An early western road trip to face BYU, Colorado and Chapman should paint a strong picture of whether Boston College can contend in 2014. (Jim Cowsert)
10. Sonoma State (13-5) | Quarterfinalist
First year head coach Panchito Ojeda will look to have the Seawolves ready to defend their WCLL regular season title and make it back to the national tournament.

Ok, so I have a basic understanding of how to parse a csv file. My CSV basically looks like this:
I am using this code to read the csv file:date,name,weeks,cost
public void readCSV() { try { BufferedReader CSVFile = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("list.csv")); // Read first line. // The while checks to see if the data is null. If // it is, we've hit the end of the file. If not, // process the data. String dataRow = CSVFile.readLine(); while (dataRow != null){ String[] dataArray = dataRow.split(","); for (String item:dataArray) { System.out.print(item + "\t"); } System.out.println(); dataRow = CSVFile.readLine(); } CSVFile.close(); System.out.println(); } catch(FileNotFoundException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch(IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } }
Okay, so the code reads line by line, if there is data on the line, it adds it to the string array, then prints out that string array.
Now here's my question:
Would it be possible to add each individual entry of the csv file to a place in an array list. For example, could I create some arraylist named "list" and add each piece of data to it one by one? So that "date" would be at index 0, "name" would be at index 1, etc.

President Barack Obama speaks about the Boston Marathon explosions on April 15, 2013 from the White House.
President Barack Obama vowed Monday evening to bring those responsible for the Boston Marathon explosions to justice, though he said that the government did not yet know who perpetrated the attack along the runners' route.
Speaking at the White House following the tragedy, Obama said that he had contacted state and local officials to begin the process of investigating and assisting with the incident.
But the president emphasized that the investigation into the causes of the attack was still in its earliest stages.
"We still do not know who did this or why and people should not jump to conclusions before we have all the facts. But, make no mistake, we will get to the bottom of this," he said. "Any responsible individuals, any responsible groups, will feel the full weight of justice."
On Monday evening, a White House official told NBC news, "Any event with multiple explosive devices -- as this appears to be -- is clearly an act of terror, and will be approached as an act of terror. However, we don't yet know who carried out this attack, and a thorough investigation will have to determine whether it was planned and carried out by a terrorist group, foreign or domestic."

In this handout provided by the White House, President Barack Obama talks on the phone with FBI Director Robert Mueller to receive an update on the explosions that occurred in Boston on April 15, 2013.
Obama was first notified of the event by a homeland security aide, Lisa Monaco, around 3 p.m. ET on Monday, according to a White House official. The president was subsequently briefed by FBI Director Robert Mueller, as well as Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.
The president also spoke with state and local officials -- including Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino -- along with leaders in Congress, briefings for whom could begin on Tuesday.
The violent explosion, which Boston Police said had resulted in some fatalities and even more injuries, shook the political establishment on Monday.
"Words cannot begin to express our sorrow for the families who are grieving so suddenly right now," said House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, who also ordered flags over the Capitol to half-staff. "This is a terrible day for all Americans, but we will carry on in the American spirit, and come together with grace and strength."
Boehner presided over the House for a moment of silence Monday afternoon. Rep. Michael Capuano, the Democratic congressman who represents Boston, spoke to the chamber, saying, "Today is a holiday in Boston, where we celebrate America and being American. I know those people here will join me in a moment of silence and hope that we can find the people who did this and bring the people to justice." Monday was Patriot's Day in Boston, a recognized holiday for the city.
President Obama says he's authorized federal resources to beef up security around the country, and to assist with the investigation into the Boston marathon explosions.
In the immediate aftermath of the situation in Boston, the president said he had directed the government to increase security around the United States as a precaution. Already, the White House took measures to expand its security perimeter, while the U.S. Capitol enhanced some security measures as a precaution.
The administration and Congress are likely to begin the task of sorting through evidence and intelligence to determine the cause of the blasts. Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., a senior member of the House Intelligence Committee, told reporters on Capitol Hill that he "wasn't aware" of any pre-existing threat to the marathon.
"All law enforcement and counterterrorism units of the federal government," said New York Rep. Peter King, a senior Republican on the intelligence committee, "are doing everything possible to determine the perpetrators of this horrific attack."
House Homeland Security Chairman Michael McCaul, R-Texas, told reporters that while the White House "may not be calling this an act of terrorism right now, I am" adding, "this has all the hallmarks of a coordinated terrorist attack."

6 Shocking New Discoveries About Jesus of Nazareth
The entrance to the Mary of Nazareth International Center in central Nazareth doesn't look like much. It's just a simple doorway off narrow Casa Nova Street, a few hundred yards from the Basilica of the Annunciation.
Yet inside this recently built Catholic evangelism center lies an amazing discovery that has sent shockwaves through the world of Biblical archaeology: the remains of a first-century stone house reliably dated to the early Roman period in Palestine.
The Nazareth excavations are the first concrete archaeological proof that Nazareth was settled in the time of Jesus – and, judging from the limestone cups found at the site, almost certainly by observant Jews.
This shoots down one of the central arguments used by those who claim that Jesus never existed and that the Gospels are entirely fiction: that we know Jesus of Nazareth never existed because there never was a village called Nazareth.
Incredibly, the archaeological excavations at Nazareth are merely one among dozens of startling recent discoveries that are forcing many secular, Jewish and agnostic scholars, at top universities all over the world, to re-think old skeptical ideas about who Jesus was and what he was trying to achieve.
Many people in the pews, however, haven't heard about these amazing, very recent discoveries.
Experts in the media are still repeating the same century-old, increasingly discredited theories that date to the late 19th and early 20th century – for example, that Jesus was an "apocalyptic prophet" who believed the world was coming to an end in his lifetime or that he was a revolutionary "zealot" who plotted a violent overthrow of Roman forces.
Nevertheless, recent dramatic archaeological discoveries and developments in New Testament studies are challenging these older, now obsolete theories:
Discovery No. 1: The people and places mentioned in the Gospels really existed.
Like most figures of ancient history, there is little archaeological evidence for many New Testament figures, including Jesus. However, in just the past few years archaeologists have uncovered some astonishing finds – including the burial box (ossuary) of the high priest Caiaphas and, perhaps, that of James the Just, the brother, step-brother or close relative of Jesus.
But many Jewish experts now deny this. In addition, some Jewish scholars argue that the Gospels prove that Jesus had a thorough command of Jewish legal reasoning.
According to Orthodox Rabbi Schmuley Boteach, when Jesus is criticized for healing a crippled man on the Sabbath (John 5:1-47), Jesus quotes a legal precedent preserved in the Talmud to prove that his action is justified.
Boteach explains that the Torah commands that a male child be circumcised on the eighth day after birth, but if that day happens to fall on the Sabbath, the circumcision is still allowed even though it is "drawing blood."
The Talmud draws from this exception the notion that medical procedures can and must be done on the Sabbath. According to Tractate Yoma, "if circumcision, which concerns one of the 248 members of the body, overrides the Sabbath, shall not a man's whole body override the Sabbath?"
Boteach then points to the nearly identical reasoning used by Jesus for his justification of healing a crippled man on the Sabbath, recorded by John: "Now if a boy can be circumcised on the Sabbath so that the Law of Moses may not be broken," Jesus says, "why are you angry with me for healing a man's whole body on the Sabbath? (7:23 NIV).
This suggests that Jesus was not an "illiterate peasant"—as many contemporary authors claim—but a highly trained rabbi fully conversant with the complex legal and religious debates in his day.
In the end, there has been a veritable revolution in New Testament scholarship over the last 10 or 20 years yet few experts in the media seem to know about it.
The foundational assumptions that guided a century's worth of skepticism towards the New Testament have been under relentless assault – and often by secular, Jewish and agnostic scholars at top universities around the world.
The new discoveries discussed above are causing some experts to wonder if the basic portrait of Jesus in the gospels is far more plausible than the elaborate reconstructions created by academic skeptics over the past 150 years.
In other words, the New Testament may be truer than scholars once thought… and Jesus of Nazareth, rather than being smaller than the gospels portray him, may actually be much bigger… and far more interesting.

Football season is upon us.
That glorious time of year when I find myself making a special effort to pay attention to the sports section of the Sunday paper so I don't look like an idiot when I go through the security gate at work.
See, on the front of my car, I have an Ole Miss license plate. I have this because I am an alumnus of the University of Mississippi. I spent four years there, and earned my degree there. I thus have some degree of fondness and loyalty for the university, from which I graduated.
As you probably know, the university from which I graduated, like many universities, has a football team. Granted, this is true more some years than others, but even so. However, the tag on the front of my car is there because of my connection with the academic institution from which I graduated, not for the athletic department thereof.
Thus far, I haven't had the heart to explain this to this one guard who sometimes works at the security checkpoint at the gate I normally use to go to work. He is not an Ole Miss graduate or even fan, but is a fan of one of this state's college football teams, and of SEC football in general. And thus has used my tag as the foundation for morning conversation when he catches me on my way to work. He occasionally ambushes me with questions during the off-season, but I do try to be prepared during the fall. Despite the fact that he has no particular connection to or interest in Ole Miss, he generally knows more about how we're doing than I do.
I don't follow sports in general, and Ole Miss football is pretty much the one exception to that. That said, "follow" is relative. I keep up with whether we win or lose, and that's about it. In any given year, I might, possibly, maybe, be able to name as many as two players. When I had cable, I tried to watch as many of the televised games as I could. When I lived in Mississippi, I tried to listen to as many of the radio broadcasts as I could. I haven't had cable in two years, and haven't lived in Mississippi in eight.
I've attended games very sporadically, many years not making it to any at all. Last year I went to two games in the same season, which was possibly a record for me. One was planned well ahead of time; the other was a spur-of-the-moment thing when I was in Oxford with a friend on game day.
I will say, however, that I am a true Ole Miss fan in the sense that I am loyal through thick and thin. Many people became fans of the team during the most recent golden years with Eli Manning, and have been surprised and disappointed in years that didn't live up to that standard. I became a fan during lean times, and over the years have learned that when it comes to Ole Miss football, the only constant is inconsistency. Even in consecutive weeks we can lose to Vanderbilt and beat Florida, and look just like ourselves doing either. Being a true Ole Miss fan is a great lesson in what it means to love unconditionally. (In a variety of different ways, even — like the current mascot selection process.)
This year, I'll be attending at least, and probably only, one game. I find it horribly offensive that you can buy tickets online to a football game at my alma mater for five or six bucks, but I'm certainly not above buying at that price.
In the meantime, my iPhone is configured to send me push notifications when points are scored in Ole Miss games this season, and I'll be reading the newspaper so I can talk about how we did.
Football season is upon us … Are. You. READY!?
