Matthew44444 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 177 diseños de 35 diseñadores freelance.
I'm an IT Test Analyst by trade and I have a real passion for technology, testing, usability, breaking stuff and of course, social media.
I love using and integrating new and existing technologies.. and really appreciate when I come across clear and helpful solutions to any issues I'm facing.
My blog, The Social Media Guide, was borne out of a desire to help others who face similar problems with social media.
I try to provide clear solutions so that anyone can follow and understand.
To take things to the next level.. I need a logo!!
All users of social media.. from newbies to advanced.. from young to old.. male or female.. from all countries.. and definately mainstream.
Anyone who has an interest in, and uses, social media and social networking platforms including Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google, WordPress, Blogging, StumbleUpon, Delicious, etc.
My blog focuses on "helping people connect", using social media.
The Social Media Guide provides clear and very easy to understand guides / instructions / 'how-to's' / setup procedures, etc, on all things social media.
If there are common problems that people are facing with social media, eg "How do I do this in Facebook", or "How do I this using Twitter".. then The Social Media Guide is the place to go to find these answers.
I am after a logo that possibly makes use of the double-meaning of - "The Social Media Guide".
1st meaning: The Social Media Guide, as in "guide book".
2nd meaning: The Social Media Guide, as in "I'm the guide.. I'm the authority on social media who shows the way by leading and advising"
I may change the background of my blog from dark to light, so the logo mustn't be limited to my blog's background shading.
I also plan to use this logo on my Facebook page, Twitter background, eBook, business cards, favicon, etc.
New, modern, fresh, social, sharing, helping people to connect..
Not futuristic.
The words "The Social Media Guide" don't necessarily have to be in the logo.

While listening to 570 News the other day, one of the hosts of "Your Money Matters" assured the audience that although he likes Apple stock, that he wears a BlackBerry on his hip. I know that I'm not the only person in Waterloo Region with an iPhone, and there are a number of folks with Android devices as well. After all, Google has a local presence here as well.
The fact remains that there appears to be a blind devotion to supporting Research in Motion's handheld devices, without a critical comparison to competitors. "BlackBerrys have a physical keyboard" is one quick defense, with the strong implication that a touch screen device is useless for typing. Guess what? This post was typed entirely on my iPhone.
Before someone suggests that I don't know enough about BlackBerry, let me assure you that I do. During my four and a half years working there, I used the Pearl, Bold, Storm, Torch, and all the variants. I even used a Pearl Flip for awhile. Some were better than others, but when it was time to leave RIM, I didn't hesitate, and bought an iPhone.
I'm not suggesting that everyone should buy an iPhone, but rather that they should acknowledge that they may not have the best, most competitive device. In fact, they should realize that this blind devotion to RIM, and lack of local criticism may in fact have contributed to the lack of true innovation in the last several years.
While I understand the desire to support local businesses, the lack of critical dialogue in the community makes things seem like a case of the Emperor's New Clothes. I think we need members of the community to be critical of local businesses which are attempting to compete globally. It leaves the perception of being a market leader, where outside the region, the ship has long since sailed.
This increased isolation from competitive devices has no doubt affected RIM staff as well. How many developers at RIM have had much experience using an iPhone or Android? How many know areas in which one is better than another?
Now I'm sure that their situation is abundantly clear by now. The new CEO does not have rose colored glasses. Other recent departures on the executive hopefully reveal a shift in vision, to address the challenges facing them today.
We in Waterloo Region have benefited from RIM's past success. Does this require seemingly sycophantic praise for their current devices? While I wish my former coworkers the best of luck in the current transition to BlackBerry 10, I can only hope that their new devices meet the demands of the wider international market, and not just those of Waterloo Region.
We should also remember that as a corporation, RIM's first duty is to its shareholders. The corporation doesn't "owe" the community anything, outside any possible contracts with the municipalities. However unlikely it may seem, some high level deal could see RIM walk away from the region, to set up shop elsewhere. Don't think that could happen? Just ask the folks in Salo, Finland, about ailing Nokia. While I don't see this happening, RIM has significant investment in the region, it is within the realm of possibilities, especially if RIM enters certain partnerships or is otherwise acquired.
What do you think? Am I missing something here? Is there a reason to praise the current BlackBerrys? Does the Be Bold marketing campaign mean anything to you? Should I cut RIM a little more slack as they negotiate their transition to a new platform, or do you, like me, hope that people stop trying to defend their mobile choices by saying that they are "supporting the local guy"?

I didn't find out about the City of Epic Kickstarter campaign until about half an hour before it closed, or I would have mentioned it sooner. But it's worth talking about and keeping an eye on even if you aren't a donor.
"Gamification" has been a buzzword in interaction design for a couple of years now, inspired by the success of Foursquare and similar systems that give you points and badges for achievements. There's some evidence that adding game-style features to behavior modification systems works; Gretchen Anderson has done some great work on how to think about these features as you build your system. But, like with 3D movies and bacon-flavored everything, there's been a backlash: too many people have slapped badges and points onto otherwise undistinguished apps and hoped those tricks would rescue the experience, so now people new greet points systems with some understandable skepticism.
What I like about Kelly Maguire and Katherine Ramos's take on games is that they are approaching it from the other direction. Having gotten started by competitively checking in at the gym on Foursquare, they understand the value of points systems, and where their impact starts to wane. So they decided to try to start from the other direction - create a good game, and layer real-world achievements into it. I am not sure whether this will be a harder or easier thing to do, but it certainly distinguishes them from the pack.
I have some confidence that they'll be able to pull it off from having met Kelly Maguire through a close mutual friend. Kelly's best-known project is the Tinysaur, a set of teeny tiny laser-cut make-your-own-dinosaur kits. Making the Tinysaur required technical skill, a creative vision, and most of all a sense of the value of delight for its own sake. A tinysaur is just a ridiculous thing, but you can't help smiling at those photos. Delight is too often undervalued and underconsidered as a design element; the fact that City of Epic is already delightful (watch that Kickstarter video!) makes me very happy indeed.
Kelly is also the co-creator of the Indie Crafts Shows directory site, now five years old, which means she knows something about building for, and sustaining, a community as well, which will be a critical piece of the puzzle. I don't think that the game will stay thrilling forever - games, like stories, have an end. But Katherine is right when she notes on the company blog that motivation and consistency are key factors to starting a workout routine. Giving people a reason to build that consistency in the early weeks and months, before they start seeing results, is something City of Epic could be great at. What it will need as it grows is a way for people who have built that consistency, who have that routine, to want to stay engaged. A MMPORG designer once told me that most of their subscribers, after a certain plateau of success, are just there to hang out with their friends; Katherine and Kelly will have to watch to see what the City of Epic equivalent of that is, and figure out how to design for the person who is happy going to the gym twice a week but doesn't necessarily want to do more.
The Kickstarter campaign is over, and successful, and Kelly and Katherine are off working on the beta. But I am sure if you were to contact them about adding a late donation, they would be interested in talking further.

Day after day, week after week for the last few months new tablets have come marching out of technology companies, holding their touchscreens high, ready to fight to find a home in your hands. Amazon's Kindle Fire HDX, Samsung's Galaxy Note 10.1, Google's Nexus 7, Microsoft's Surface 2, Lenovo's Yoga, Asus Transformer Pad: the list could go on of the new tablets introduced in preparation for the big holiday season.And today Apple's newest entry marches on out. The iPad Air hits shelves today; it's a lot thinner, lighter and faster than last year in hopes it will defend its lead and prime spot under Christmas trees, next to menorahs and on tables for those agnostic gift givers. But are Apple's hardware improvements enough to stand up to the heavy competition this year? Is it, as Tim Cook has said, really going to be an iPad Christmas? Thinner and Lighter Than...
"Thin and light" is likely the most overused and abused term in the technology industry. Sixty-inch TVs are described as thinner and lighter, huge desktop replacement laptops get thinner and lighter (though still weigh seven or eight pounds), even routers get the "thin and light" description.
Describing what Apple has done here with those terms does the tablet no justice. The .29-inch thick device now weighs just a pound, and if you are used to using the full-size iPad 3 or 4, the difference is extremely noticeable, especially in situations such as reading in bed. In terms of the larger tablets out there, the Air is the sleekest, trimmest and lightest. Compare it to a Galaxy Note or a Surface 2, and you'll see that that's not just a lofty statement.Apple has also rounded the back edges and slimmed down the screen bezel. Like with the Mini, the tablet is smart enough to know when your finger is resting on the frame of the screen rather than to mistake it for a swipe or zoom.
But that's not to say the tablet is as easy to manage in one hand as the iPad Mini or other 7-inch tablets like the Nexus 7. I still very much prefer the iPad Mini for reading in bed. And this year Apple has made the choice between the forthcoming Mini with Retina Display (set to arrive later this month), and the Air as simple as size.
""This is the sleekest, trimmest and lightest big-screen tablet. Period.
Both the tablets have the same internals and will have the same screen resolution. The reason to opt for the Air is simply the bigger size of the still incredibly crisp and clear Retina Display. The larger screen may be better for kids, games and highly visual or graphics-heavy apps, while the smaller version may be a better choice for more personal reading and web browsing. As I say in all of my iPad reviews, though, I still do wish the screen was better for reading outdoors and in the sun. Reading on the beach with the tablet will still require a fair amount of adjustment and positioning out of the sun.
A7 and iOS 7
But the engineering feat of the Air isn't that the tablet has been cut in half, it's that the tablet is even more powerful and lasts just as long on a charge. The Air has the same A7 chip as the iPhone 5s. As I said in my review of the new iPhone, the performance increases provided by the new 64-bit processor aren't all that noticeable in regular tasks.
The improvements will be more noticeable, though, when using specific apps, especially games. Playing Infinity Blade 3 on the Air is a stunning experience, even for someone like me who doesn't have the slightest appreciation for gaming design and play. I'm disappointed, though, that Apple didn't add any of the camera performance features to the iPad as it did with the iPhone 5s. The Air doesn't have Burst Mode or Slow Mode.
Even with that boost, you can still leave your charger home for a long weekend. On my video rundown test, which loops an HD video at about 65 percent brightness while connected to WiFi, the tablet lasted 9 hours and 48 minutes. Expect to get much more juice over intermittent use.There's no doubt that Apple's hardware prowess shines through in every breath of the Air, but the rest of the experience is what you'd expect from an iPad. While iOS 7 added a host of needed features, the upgrade for the tablet experience seems less pronounced than on the iPhone. While other tablets now have some advanced features, like Windows 8.1's ability to run apps side by side or Android's multiple user account support, iOS feels in some ways rather stagnant. (I'm still wondering why Apple didn't add its TouchID fingerprint sensor and allow users to sign in to different accounts with the tap of a finger.)
That said, when it comes to choosing a tablet based on software, the iPad is still at the top of the list. That's not because of any core improvements to the software, but rather the breadth and strong quality of iPad apps populating the App Store. Whether it is basic news reading apps, like Flipboard or Feedly, or more graphically rich apps like Barefoot Atlas or Vjay, or games like Sky Gamblers, you simply won't find that type of quality and selection from Google or Microsoft. To top off the app offerings, the Air now comes with Apple's iLife and iWork apps for free. You've got to download them still from the store, but they're all worth making space for. The new iPhoto and iMovie apps in particular add a host of strong photo and video editing tools and does so without adding any major complications or needing any sort of tutorial to get going. Bottom Line""On the iPad, iOS feels stagnant
The iPad Air is very much an iPad. Yes, it is much easier to hold and much nicer to look at, but those who were hoping for a complete overhaul to the iPad experience won't find it with the Air. The software experience remains virtually the same, the screen, while still great, doesn't work any better outdoors, it doesn't have the TouchID fingerprint sensor of the iPhone 5s nor does it have that much-hoped-for keyboard cover.But that isn't going to matter this holiday season. Apple's overhauled the hardware, there's a strong app selection, you can hold the Air with one hand while lying on the couch, and iLife and iWork are included to help you start creating content with your tablet. All those factors place the slim and svelte Air ahead of the other tablets on the battlefield. While most who have an iPad 3 or 4 won't find the Air to be a necessary upgrade, those who are first-time tablet buyers or replacing an earlier tablet shouldn't think twice about putting the Air at the top of their list.
""It's going to be an iPad Christmas
And if people don't want to pay $499 or more for the full size Air, the $399 Retina Mini will make an equally good gift. And I assume most won't complain about the $299 iPad Mini without the high-resolution display.Indeed, it's going to be an iPad Christmas.

Paul Ryan's disappearing act
He seems to have fallen entirely off the radar of early state Republicans. Democrats bring up his name with more zeal than do people in his own party. And his footprint at the Conservative Political Action Conference was so faint that his being an afterthought was itself an afterthought.
What the heck has happened to Paul Ryan?
Story Continued Below
Just months removed from being on the GOP ticket, he has faded from the national political conversation in a way that's remarkable for a politician possessed with youth, fame and ambition.
( Also on POLITICO: GOP sees cash opportunity in gay marriage shift)
This is partly by his choosing. Ryan, 43, has purposefully sought not to fan the 2016 flames and instead plunged headlong back into his work in the House. He's been the anti-Palin: returning to his previous job with gusto and gladly immersing himself in the minutiae of governing.
And, friends say, the House Budget Committee chairman has been quite taken with the amount of influence he enjoys in the GOP conference well beyond his committee purview. House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) has effectively made Ryan his tea party whisperer, and his votes are watched closely by establishment and conservative House Republicans alike.
"He's really now wearing two hats," said former GOP Rep. Vin Weber (R-Minn.). "He's chairman of a committee, but he's also an unelected member of the leadership."
( PHOTOS: Paul Ryan through the years)
Sources close to Ryan caution that his congressional focus at the moment ought not be confused with lack of interest in 2016 but seen, rather, in the context of somebody with a demanding day job.
"He knows he has a really big job right now," added Dan Senor, a close Ryan friend who advised him on last year's campaign.
Yet as Ryan's power inside the Capitol has grown since his return earlier this year, his standing outside the building has diminished.
( Also on POLITICO: Rubio, Paul fight for GOP future)
Last year's It Boy of the graying Republican Party has been bigfooted by the GOP's new twin heartthrobs, Sens. Marco Rubio of Florida and Rand Paul of Kentucky.
In conversations with scores of Republicans in Washington and beyond, it's striking how little organic support or even interest there is for a Ryan presidential bid so soon after Mitt Romney elevated the Wisconsin wonk to the highest levels of national political stardom. Open-ended questions about who is drawing early attention don't even include a pro forma mention of last year's popular vice presidential nominee.
Buzz, or a lack of it, in the spring of 2013 about a primary three years away can be easily dismissed as irrelevant. And Ryan allies note that he remains well liked in the party and has been vetted and tested far more than most of the other potential candidates.
( PHOTOS: Republicans, 2016 contenders)
But his rapid fade speaks to what appears to be a shift in both the Republican Party and the broader political culture.
The GOP has for decades operated according to the rules of a sort of political primogeniture, nominating the next heir in line for the presidency every election cycle the contest is open. Primaries haven't always held precisely to this tradition, but that somebody as popular within the party as Ryan is already being overshadowed suggests Republicans are changing in other important ways.

I have added an image size using this:
add_image_size('property-featured', 484, 393, true);
It's worked very well for the past year and has generated about 1GB of images in that size, but this image size is no longer needed. I want to clear up the images that have been created over the year in this size.
So far I have removed that line of code but it doesn't clean up the created images.
What is the correct way to remove those images?

fter frequenting rec.arts.bodyart for a while, I still had many questions about piecings, so looking for someone knowledgeable, I e-mailed Ardvark, the r.a.b. FAQ maintainer, and soon began e-mailing each other back and forth over the course of almost a year, and I credit her for a great majority of my piercing knowledge, however she still lived in VA at the time, and I was in WA, but I wanted someday to be pierced by her. When she gave me word she would be moving to the San Francisco area, I was thrilled!
During my senior year in high school, me and my boyfriend went to San Francisco for Spring Break in May. By this time, I had already gottem my tongue and septum pierced the year before in August. We met up with Ardvark and her husband Dan, and did some serious music shopping, then went out for an excellent Thai dinner, and she had invited us to stay at their place the next day... I was totally in love with her personality by then, and exstatic that I had finally met her.
We arrived at their place around 6pm Friday, and after listening to lots of music, ordering Japanese take-out, and watching a great episode of The Simpsons, we talked about getting my nipples pierced, and I decided I wanted it done then. It was a rather split second decision, but one I have been thinking about for a while. So we went up to her studio, and she mentioned they were good nipples to pierce, as they aren't too flat. We picked out the rings I wanted, which were two 10ga 7/8" CBRs, if I remember right. She marked the in and out holes on both, and I hopped up on the chair, then she put on the forceps, which wasn't comfortable, and told me to take many deep breaths, then she pierced me, and I had never felt pain that severe in my life. It was a good pain though, and I was glad I had done it. After the jewelry was inserted, a great amount of pressure was taken away, but it did bleed a lil bit, but stopped quickly. That fact that this wasn't a formal 'appointment' was great, because I had a chance to settle down from the first piercing, about 1/2 hour, before going on to the right nipple. During that time, we talked about stuff, walked around a bit, and I got a drink of water. After all that, it was time for the second. It hurt just as much, but wasn't as bad because I knew what was coming. The right one didn't bleed one drop, and they both looked great together! Ardvark's cleanliness and sterile procedures throughout the whole thing were excellent, and I wonder to this day if her prices cover the cost of all those latex gloves she goes through! :D
Later, though, the second one started to bleed quite badly, which she said was quite odd. But after applying pressure with gauze for about 5 minutes, it stopped, and we decided it would probably be best to tape gauze over it in case it started bleeding again, though it didn't.
Now, it has been four months, and they're coming along great. I've been washing them twice a day with Provon, and they are mostly healed, but still get lil crusties every now and then, but for the most part, have been nothing more than great, and I strongly recommend her to everyone I talk to, in fact, I recently took a good friend of mine to her to get her eyebrow pierced, which has healed great, and looks wonderful with the curved barbell she chose.
I'll definitely be visiting her again. I fell in love with the daith piercing Ardvark had and am thinking about one of those now.

help i.d a gastropod
can somebody tell me the scientific or even just the common name of this species of shell. i tried to search the net for the scientific name of this shell but i can't find an exact match for this. i think that this belongs to the family Strombidae, but i'm not quiet sure. it's length is approximately 110 cm and was collected in the Philippines. i really need your help. thanks

thanks for your answer. but tried searching the net for the members of the Conidae family and nothing really resembles or matches this shell.
could this be a member of the Volutidae family? i just want to confirm. is this a Cymbiola vespertilio? i am not quite sure of it because there are some distinct differences from the actual shell that i collected and from the pictures i've seen from the internet.
It is definitely not one of the Cone shell species the Conidae family have rounded "unkeeled" shells, although it has very similar markings to the Textile cone (Conus textile) it could easy be mistaken for one, I do not know what it is but i have definitely seen them before here in Australia, gl with the id.

With the Japan earthquake disaster causing delays to Sony's new range of TVs, sets like its 32in KDL-32EX403 are enjoying a longer shelf life than they might otherwise have expected. Which is starting to look like good news in one way, as the prices kicking around for the 32EX403 now look eye-catching to say the least.
In fact, we've found one selling online for just £354. That's the sort of price you might fairly find attached to 32in TVs from third-tier brands like Goodmans or Bush, not Sony. In other words, it's so cheap that if it lives up to its Sony branding, it has the potential to be one of the biggest TV bargains ever.
It starts nicely, thanks to a glossy finish and an attractive two-tone black and grey colour scheme. The glamour only works if you're looking straight at it, though; turn it to an angle or pop your head down its side, and you'll be quite startled by just how far it sticks out on its rear compared with the increasingly svelte LCD models that dominate the TV world now.
This fact reveals right away that the 32EX403 uses standard CCFL lighting rather than the more fashionable edge LED lighting – but this is no more than we would expect of such a cheap TV.
Any slight disappointment you might feel at the size of the 32EX403's rear quickly dissipates when you see how many connections that rear carries. In fact, it's here that the £354 price starts to look scarcely believable.
For starters, there are four HDMIs – the same amount you might expect on 32in TVs costing three times as much. There's also a USB port for playback of music, photo and a few video file formats. But even better is the discovery of a LAN port which permits you to either access stuff stored on a networked DLNA PC or receive Sony's Bravia Internet Video platform.
Actually, the DLNA compatibility proves to be a touch disappointing, with no AVI or MKV support. But really any sort of multimedia capability should be considered a bonus for £254. Also, the Bravia Internet Video platform still holds up surprisingly well considering we've recently seen swanky new 2011 online TV services launched by Panasonic and Samsung.

I was ecstatic when, last year, I was asked if I would like to appear in the Weldon Owen published book 'Style Yourself' alongside fashion blogging luminaries such as Style Bubble and Style Rookie. I hastily agreed, and then forgot all about it, as recovering from surgery took precedence. So imagine my excitement when I found out that it was published – and there was a copy winging its way to me from the United States. Now that I have the book in my hands, I can see other favourite bloggers – such as FrouFrouu, Louise Ebel and Barbro Anderson (alongside many, many others) – all featured in gorgeous and varying spreads. My own two pages come under the 'accessories' section, which features some images from 'Wrinkled Silk Stockings on a Blustery Sunday', presented with a very British 'Tea Party' spin.
All I can say is that whoever had the bright idea to create this book was very smart indeed. Blogging is still a relative toddler in comparison with other industries, but it is growing faster than Jack's beanstalk. These 95 bloggers presented have a collective 500,000 visits a day (thanks to Barbro for that fact!) – Hundreds of thousands of people logging on to see what their favourite bloggers have styled and written about. Cumulatively, that is a pretty large voice.
The book itself is beautifully laid out and structured – full of tips and hints on styling – with ample inspiration. Whether you favour eighties Grace Jones style looks, or dress according to the landscape around you, there is something for everyone. However, one of my favourite aspects is the pages given over to the technical terms for every clothing-related item under the sun. Did you know what a fishing creel bag is, or what a Watteau dress looks like? (I didn't, but I do now!) Or perhaps you'd like to discover the wonders of a zouave jacket? There's something quite addictive about pinpointing exactly what type of shoes you are wearing (are they Oxfords, Brogues, Jazz or Saddles?), and learning the exact dart shape used to create the dress hanging on a mannequin. It's this level of detail, along with the delicious design, that left a huge grin on my face after I had ripped the packaging open.
On this excursion, I styled the dress with coral pink shoes from a flea market stall, a Jaeger belt from ebay (second hand), and a green silk belt-tie worn as bow. The tiny vintage leather saddle bag and the lace top (worn under the dress) were both from my favourite local charity shop. These photos were taken about an hour ago, on the hottest day of the year so far. Yesterday I was sheltering from the rain and wind, and today I have been hiding from the heat.
This dress is recyled in more than one sense - as I originally rescued it from a £1 basket, and took it home to patch up the rips in the fabric. With a now shortened hemline, it is an item that has been given a new lease of life with the aid of a sewing machine...
Now, in a final (magician's) flourish, Weldon Owen has offered to send a copy of 'Style Yourself' to one reader of Clothes, Cameras and Coffee in a giveaway.
I would like to open up this giveaway to bloggers and non-bloggers alike (as sometimes it just seems that only bloggers get a look in), with the same criteria. To enter, please answer the following – if you had to choose one item of clothing you own that sums up your style, what would it be, and why? (Eg – mine would probably be my sixties green and blue St Michael's mini-dress, because it is vintage, immensely versatile, was bought in a charity shop and represents my love for all things whimsical). If you are a blogger, could you please comment with your answer and email address. If you are a non-blogger, I'd appreciate it if you emailed me with your answer, and 'Style Yourself' Giveaway in the subject line. I can't wait to read some entries. Oh, and even better, the giveaway is open worldwide! The closing date will be the fifth of July.
The book can be easily ordered from local independent bookshops (to help support local business – see Alexandra Therese's The Demise of the Local Bookshop). However, it is also available on Amazon here.

Almost teared when I read this quote.
Heroes and heroines out there, you must remember your worth!
You know it takes several mistakes to know what is right, be sure that mistakes you made are not wasted, they brought you somewhere and mold you to become who you are today.
Don't be afraid to go for what you think is right although thousands might think its a mistake.
You judge and you tell yourself what are the mistake, not anyone else.

But if I force it to 1900 it has full bars as well. Which is considered better if both are available and if 1900 is, I am woindering why my phone wouldn't pick it up as the preferred band.

whats w/that? all that knowledge for FREE!!! HAHAHAHA ::evil grin::
im assuming this is a promo thing?
guns dont kill people, abortion clinics kill people.
aaah, Assembly....*drool*....*slowly slipping away*...WOW! Stay
real, Assembly is futile.
is that offer for real?
I'm definetly going to do it....it's about time i wrote my own operating system .
PHP and XML
Let's talk about SAX
well i have spoken to some people who received the books looks good no strings attached
aparently intel runs a similar promotion from time to time and just to avoid confusion these are not books to teach you asm but reference manuals(once again according to people who have the books)
Last edited by ZerOrDie; 02-11-2003 at 08:39 PM.
how much for the shipping?
i ordered a free cds, but had to pay like 10 $ for the s/h
or is it TRULLY free?
oh i'm sorry! i didn;t realize my fist was rushing to meet ur face!
MSN :: firstname.lastname@example.com []*[]
Intel's been doing the same thing for a few years now. So if AMD is doing it like Intel, then it's completely free...that means the shipping too.
And they're pretty good manuals, not cheap ones like you'd expect.
Is intel currently doing anything like this?
Before anybody orders any of these please heed my advice, I dont want people disappointed in the books and I dont want valuable resources wasted because of these misunderstandings.
Unless you know x86 ASM and have a real interest/need for reference do not order the books. First of all the AMD books are on advanced stuff about the x86-64, and although the intel books are on the arch. that most of us are running on they are still advanced reference manuals that non-asm people will never use.
These are tech manuals which are generally free, because only a small number of developers need them due to their subject, if everyone goes spreading the word on this as something that will teach ASM the people who really need them may end up having to pay in the future due to tons of people ordering things that they simply have no need for.
By ordering these books without a strong understanding in ASM you are simply wasting trees.
>>simply have no need for.
i would think that if you see x86 reference books on the order page, youre just not going to order them unless you are a asm programmer or have an interest in it. the more you know the better off you are, learning or even grasping the concepts of asm are going to help you out in your higher level programming life
guns dont kill people, abortion clinics kill people.
I am trying to emphasize that unless you are already a strong asm programmer these books will not help you, I would not call myself strong in asm, but I can kind of read it and I have seen the content of these books and people with mediocre asm experience will be disappointed and the books with go to waste, I know some people will get these books to "learn" asm, but I wanted to emphasize to people not to do that.
Most of what is described in the books is very specialized reference that even a strong asm programmer will never need, and the small amounts that they do need shouldn't be hard to find online, these books are intended only for those which are working one on one with intel/AMD products, not for the casual developer or even professional developers which are asm hobbyists.
so you would compare it to a Stroustrup book rather than a c++ for dummies....or something like that, right?!
guns dont kill people, abortion clinics kill people.
Yeah, they are like Stroustrup for ASM [on steroids ]
i get your point, his books are extremly hard to learn from, not impossible, but VERY time consuming, you spend as much time on the net looking things up as you do w/your face in the book. but then again, c++ for dummies just doesnt do the trick...but thanks for the warning
guns dont kill people, abortion clinics kill people.
I rather have free boobs.

Shares of San Ramon-based Chevron plunged on Wednesday, the first trading day after the oil company said its third quarter would be weaker than the second quarter.
Chevron's shares sank 4.2 percent, or $4.91, and finished at $112.45.
The energy giant was hobbled by the Richmond refinery fire, which slashed the company's refining capacity by 92,000 barrels a day. The fuel factory has a capacity of 245,000 barrels a day. The reduction means the refinery is operating at roughly 63 percent capacity, the company report shows.
Separately, Hurricane Isaac erased 19,000 barrels a day of refining capacity for Chevron in the Gulf of Mexico region.
Chevron also disclosed that the crude distillation unit that was knocked out by the disastrous fire on Aug. 6 would be offline until at least the end of this year. The loss of the unit has hobbled the Richmond refinery, which now primarily blends gasoline with the crude unit disabled.

Transgender by its strictest definition is: Someone who's gender identity does not entirely match the gender they were assigned at birth. Or, someone who does not seek to conform to the gender binary present in the larger modern society. But this definition in itself lacks the necessary complexities to understand what it is to be Trans. Not to mention what it is to Trans and Mormon! Affirmation has worked tirelessly to educate the Mormon population on their LGB Brothers and Sisters. It has now become time for the T in LGBT to find their place in Mormon culture.
This section of Affirmation's web presence will concentrate on understanding the Trans experience. It seeks to become a sanctuary for our Mormon Trans Brothers and Sisters as well as one for the many Straight Allies that would like to understand and appreciate their contribution better. There are a myriad of resources here for the Trans Mormon on everything from Coming Out to proper health and emotional wellbeing. There are also many resources here that can help someone who is not Trans better understand what it is to attempt to live authentic to one's self and remain active in a religion that still has a long way to come in order to understand Transgender.
Below are 4 videos about Transgender Mormons:

Zee Deveel Master Wednesday 14/04/2010, 10:39
This is a thread where people can list their top five favorite clans(leaders not included). If you want you can give a description of why u like them.
1. La Junta - great damage and high power (also their half of my first deck so im a bit biased)
2. Gheist - great bonus and great theme
3. Skeelz - bonus makes them (and their abilities) almost impossible to stop
4. Ulu Watu - awesome bonus that makes them almost impossible to beat.
5. Jungo - cause its bonus messes with my style (almost as much as Montana's does but not enough to make me hate it)
I don't know much of all the clans so pls forgive my list if its a bit nubish .
Giantsgiants Master Sunday 22/07/2012, 03:38
No love for Berzerk? Seems like I'm the first one to include them on my list.
1. Skeelz
2. Berzerk
3. Bangers
4. Montana
5. Ulu Watu
Ice dragon T Titan Dragons Cro Clan Sunday 22/07/2012, 10:53
I do not like berzerk clan , ok, they have got some good cards like cortez and spyke , but this clan is not in top five for me.
1.Piranas ( in ELO ) - good pillz manipulation
2. Vortex ( in standard) - bonus of them is awesome
3. Sakrhom - good power ,good attack manipulation , great theme and arts.
4. Nightmare - SOB
5. Bangers plus ambre - power manipulation
1. Allstars (Any mode) Power reduction is awesome. Great cards such as Marina and Robb Cr
2. Freaks (DM/Survivor) Very different and take a lot of skill to master, but very fun. Great cards such as Splata Cr, Bogdan and Olga
3.Bangers (DT,DM,Survivor) I love power manip, very cool ghetto themed clan. Great cards such as Blaaster Cr, Beeboy and Vermin N
4.Uppers (DOMINATE ALL MODES) Attack manip of 10 with a low minimum of 3. They kick Montana's ass anyday. Great cards like Zatman, Jackie Cr and Dorian
5. Nightmare (survivor/tourney) SOB :3. Great cards such as Kolos, Ghumbo, Karrion , Kenny , Oshitsune , Glorg etc
Thoazol Moderator Wise Men Distracted Sunday 22/07/2012, 21:41
Yeah, it's the small thing of the last post before Mau5 was from '10, Berzerks are from '11, and nobody's a psychic.
Hula_Daisy Colossus Masters of Battle Sunday 22/07/2012, 22:28
1) Uppers good attack manipulation they have good cards for each stars from 5* with Herman, Dorian and Hefty to their 2* with Bianca, Gail Ld, Wendel and Their newest Card Jose Star
2)Montana High attack manipulation also they don't focus on just one type of ability like clans such as Piranas and Junkz (Pillz) Sakrohm (Damage reduction) and Jungo (Life Manipulation)
3) Freaks Good High Power that can easily get their bonus through also they reduce opp life by 2 and they have cards like Varoslav, Olga, Akendram, Bikini Joe Ld and Boris who have 3 or more damage also Piotr who has 2 damage but a min of 0 on his ability
4) Frozn they haven't been out very long but their bonus makes them have awesome Power and damage i look forward to see what they have to offer in the future
5) Vortex Their bonus aids the Frozn bonus also in case of cards such as C Beast, Dregn and Sekutor then can go for the Ko and still get Pillz back if they lose also they have cards like Deea and Dagg who have excellent attack manipulation

Serious necros....
Blagdraf Colossus Friends Of Fate Monday 23/07/2012, 05:22
1. Nightmare. All sorts of big (or HUGE, in the case of Kolos) monsters, and stop-opposing-bonus is amazingly useful.
2. Berzerk. It's "The Shining" meets uncontrollable psychotic rage--what's not to like? Managed my first (and only) 525 points in Deathmatch with a Berzerk/Nightmare/Ambre deck.
3. Vortex. Cool theme, cool bonus, some of the best artwork in the game. Still saving up for X-0DUS. . .
4. Sakrohm. My first major clan. Like the oddball them, as well as the truly alien aliens (Grax, Skrum, Trimk).
5. Let's give GHEIST some love here. NOT an easy Clan to play, especially since Stop-Bonus beats Stop-Ability. Tremendously satisfying, though, when you can shut down cards (like Kolos or Grax) that you absolutely hate. They're also obscure enough that you can sometimes give your opponent a real surprise: "What do you mean my Kinjo didn't kill you?"
about4turtles Imperator URBAN MADNESS Tuesday 09/10/2012, 01:42
Frozn is just too new and their few cards don't yet put them on many people's list. Plus, they are a quite hard clan to play effectively.
1. Uppers - Easy clan to play with, great cards
2. All Stars - that -2 power is just oh so helpful and they got really great lower star cards
3. Skeelz - just cause their my favorite in terms of art & bios, only if they were less conditional...
4. Piranas - They just got pretty much everything (except DR :mad
5. Vortex - Bonus allows many more opportunities and the art is pretty epic
Dash231 Hero Vietnamese Sunday 06/08/2017, 15:53
I like Berzerk so much, they are not too expensive, their bonuses are almost like La junta and FPC, great thing is that it will not be affected by - dame, they will not have 2HKO like LJT or FPC. If they win in rounds 1, 2, 3, the damage is not less, from approximately half to half or more than half for some five star cards. I like their power, just like mad people, they have great power. If you combine both their bonus and basic damage, that is a big number, but even if one of them is lost, they are not too weak because their power is high, and their base dame is not small. , at the moment I write, they have only one 5 power card and abi is -3 opp pw min 3. Their weakness is not based on their ability, you will see not many cards have imba ability, sometimes you will be uncomfortable with their backlash, they are not weak with SoA but they also do not become strong from their ability. The last, i love their color, it's look like crazy warriors

Stitched Carolina Panthers Jerseys a 19-yard touchdown for a 27-12 lead.
2019-6-19 13:41
Stitched Carolina Panthers Jerseys a 19-yard touchdown for a 27-12 lead.
He not only had eight tackles and two forced fumbles, but also goaded offensive lineman Harvey Dahl and wide receiver Brian Quick into unnecessary roughness penalties.
Mitchell, a free agent pickup, was instrumental in the Carolina win.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers appear to have found their stride.
Panthers cornerback Captain Munnerlyn intercepted the former No. 1 draft pick on the game's first play and returned it 45 yards for a score. Bradford also had a long TD pass to Tavon Austin called back on a penalty, and Quick dropped a pass in the end zone.
While the St. Louis Rams' season is suddenly in a state of flux following a knee injury to Sam Bradford.
Bradford was scheduled to have an MRI on his left knee after the team landed in St. Louis. He was injured in the fourth quarter when he landed on it after being shoved out of bounds by Panthers safety Mike Mitchell,

"We wanted to do a better job of being more mature, being the more composed team," Mitchell said. "We had the game in hand and we could tell by the way they were playing that they wanted to get somebody cheap, try to get us a penalty, something like that. We weren't going to give it to them. We just needed to stay disciplined."
The Panthers have a chance to get above .500 for the first time since the end of the 2008 season when they travel to Tampa Bay on Thursday night.
In the past two games, Newton is 35 of 43 for 464 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions as the Panthers (3-3) have won back-to-back games for the first time this season.
But Carolina came right back as Newton drove Carolina 72 yards,
Antonio Brown Jersey
, hitting Steve Smith for his 800th career reception, a 19-yard touchdown for a 27-12 lead.
Rams coach Jeff Fisher said Bradford "was in significant pain on the sideline" but the team wouldn't speculate on how long he'll be out.
The Rams, meanwhile,
Byron Scott Jersey
, are concerned about their franchise quarterback.
The Rams threatened to tie the game early, but failed to convert on fourth-and-goal from the 1 when Bradford was pressured into an incompletion.
"I'm not going to deal with hypotheticals until I find out what's going on with him," Fisher said.
"I've got to throw the ball away," Newton said. "Just give my guys a chance and when we do that, it's exciting to watch. Anytime I have got an opportunity to give a dink or dunk to these guys, they make the big plays."
After the teams traded field goals, the Panthers took a 17-5 lead just before halftime on a 1-yard plunge by Tolbert.
Down 20-5, Bradford connected with Quick on a 73-yard completion, setting up a short TD pass to Zac Stacy to trim Carolina's lead to eight.
The Panthers' third-ranked defense forced three turnovers and had four sacks,

"He has done a great job," Rivera said. "You talk about things that he does and his reads and learning to go through his progressions the right way. ... When you see him doing those types of things to give us a chance to win, you know that he has matured."
Long admitted after the game he lost control of his emotions and said he apologized to his teammates.
They were flagged for five personal foul penalties and defensive end Chris Long was ejected from the game for throwing a punch after one fracas involving more than a dozen players.
Before losing their quarterback, the Rams (3-4) lost their cool.
Panthers coach Ron Rivera said Newton's steady play is a big reason for the team's optimism moving forward.
Steve Smith caught five passes for 69 yards and a touchdown and Mike Tolbert scored his third touchdown rushing of the season.
Newton turned in his second straight quality start, completing 15 of 17 passes for 204 yards and a touchdown and the Panthers defeated Rams 30-15 in a heated game Sunday that included several fights and personal foul penalties.
"Having to watch the rest of the game in the locker room was probably one of the low points of my career,
Cheap Jerseys USA
," Long said. "I can't let that happen again. ... I need to be stronger than that. I play this game with a lot of emotion. I won't change that. I can't let people provoke me."
The Rams scored on the next play when Eugene Sims tackled Mike Tolbert in the end zone for a safety — the first points surrendered by the Panthers in the opening quarter all season.
Newton said he believes he's making better decisions, although he chided himself for taking sacks on two plays that essentially ended drives.
The Panthers were flagged for two personal fouls.
"I feel like I am progressing," said Newton, who is 16-22 as an NFL starter.
It was a rough day all around for Bradford.

I think it's fair to say that my family goes to Disney theme parks a lot. Usually we go to Disneyland, but in a few weeks we'll be making our second trip to Walt Disney World this year. And whether we are driving or flying there are always a lot of preparations to be made for a good time. Doomsday my come and go, but before you tackle the Mouse consider these things from a Disney Prepper.
- Disney Dining
In a Disney park your focus isn't usually on food. But while you're there you are going to have to eat, and a little planning and foresight can get you a reservation in the best restaurants that Disney has to offer. In Disneyland's California Adventure park there is the new Carthay Circle Restaurant (probably the best meal I've ever had on a Disney property) and in Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom there is the Be Our Guest restaurant in the newly opened Fantasyland. Both are hard to get reservations for and almost impossible to get a table at without making a phone call in advance. One thing to remember - typically Disney dining doesn't take reservations beyond 30 days60 days for Disneyland and 180 days for Walt Disney World in advance, but that policy can change at any time. Generally the earlier you book, the better. But keep that number handy in your information phone, because if it's 10AM and you know where you want to eat lunch at noon, it's worth putting a call in. I've made reservations in the park and walked right up to a table while the other stooges were waiting with their names on a list.
Disney Dining Walt Disney World - (407) 939-3463
Disney Dining Disneyland - (714) 781-3463
- Download the Apps
Any decent prepper knows that even the best laid plans will always require some adjustment along the way. And while you're enjoying your vacation, the best way to figure out how to adjust your plans on the spot are some of the Disney Apps available to download to your smartphone. The best is actually the app made by Disney themselves, Disney Mobile Magic. It's free, works on iPhone and Android (sorry Windows Phone users) and gives you attraction wait times, maps and a calendar of what is happening that day in the park. It will only give you the most important information if you are in the vicinity of the park, but make sure you download it before you start your trip. Because when the timing of something you've meticulously planned fails, it's going to be the first thing you go to. I should also give an honorable mention here to the Birnbaum Walt Disney World and Disneyland guide books (available digitally as well as old-fashioned hard copies). If you want a great book to plan your trip with, these are the best. I also recommend the Birnbaum's Walt Disney World for Kids. My kids love going through the book at home to help plan the trip.
- Bring ONE Toy Per Child
What's that you say? You couldn't possibly travel with your children unless you were sure they had at least five of their favorite stuffed animals and dolls and action figures and video games? Preppers know that if you've got to bug out, keeping it light is key. This won't last long, because once you get to Disney your kids will have a strange way of accumulating all kinds of stuffed animals and dolls and action figures and games. Because don't forget - you are going to have to find a way to bring all of that stuff back.
(On a related note, one of my fool-proof tricks for taking young kids to Disney is buy them one small toy right after you get in the park. Make it the first thing you do. Because when you've been waiting for 45 minutes to ride Dumbo, having a new toy to play with in line goes a long, long way.)
- Swimming Suit & Medicine
This one is rather self explanatory, but it bears repeating. You can buy almost everything in any of the Disney parks, but the two things that are going to be a real pain if you forget is medicine and your swimming suit. If your kid has special eyedrops that you only need when their eyes act up, then it's almost guaranteed they will act up on the trip you forget the drops. And the weather is good pretty much year round in all of the parks, and while you can buy a suit at the gift shop, you are going to wish you remembered it when you were packing.
- Imagine the Memories Before You Go
If you're reading this then there's a good chance that you are also the person in your family in charge of taking the pictures and keeping the memories. Before you pack your cameras and your MULTIPLE memory cards (always bring more than you think you'll need) try to imagine what kind of thing you're going to make after the trip is over. Are you going to make a slideshow for your Apple TV? Are you going to make a photo album to put on the coffee table? Or are you going to make a full-blown home movie with pictures and video? Whatever the answer is, if you can imagine the finished product it will help you think about what kinds of pictures or video you what to take while you're there. It's understandable that you might want to take a bunch of shots of Cinderella's Castle (one I took is up above) or Sleeping Beauty's Castle during the holidays. But how many of those pictures are you going to actually show to other people? Get the shots you need and keep the focus on the people you're with and you can never go wrong. And don't forget to pass that camera off to someone else so there is a record of you having fun too!
For more Disney photography tips, check out another post I made a while back,Using a DSLR in Disneyland (or Disney World)
But most of all take a deep breath. Because this time you aren't prepping for the apocalypse, you're prepping for fun.

The Midtown Men-7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 18
After a successful 2010 tour of nearly 50 cities across the U.S. and Canada, The Midtown Men reunites Christian Hoff, Michael Longoria, Daniel Reichard, and J. Robert Spencer, the stars of the original cast of Broadway's Tony Award-winning musical Jersey Boys. Their dynamic concert will feature top musical hits from a Who's Who of the 1960s including The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Temptations, The Jackson 5, and The Four Seasons, whose story they brought to life every night as Stars in the original cast of Jersey Boys. The show is sponsored by Sidney and Anna Lee Allen.
Sinbad-7:30 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 6
Ranked by Comedy Central as one of the top 100 stand-up comedians of all time, Sinbad has built a loyal following by taking audiences' painful trials or embarrassing tribulations of day-by-day life, throwing them back in their faces, and causing an uproar of comedic hysteria. He can also make it sound profound without being profane. The son of a preacher man says he decided to keep his comedy clean after his father attended one of his early performances. Sinbad says he learned that night that "funny is funny," and masters of comedy could all work clean without losing a step. The show is sponsored by Longview Regional Medical Center and Neiman Marcus.
Shrek the Musical-7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 14
Based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks film that started it all, Shrek the Musical brings the hilarious story of everyone's favorite ogre to life on stage. In a faraway kingdom turned upside down, things get ugly when an unseemly ogre, not a handsome prince, shows up to rescue a feisty princess. Throw in a donkey who won't shut up, a villain with a short temper, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairytale misfits, and you've got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there's one on hand and his name is Shrek. The twisted fairy tale features 19 new songs, great dancing and breathtaking scenery and was described by reviewers as the funniest new musical on Broadway. The show is sponsored by Texas Bank and Trust.
Michael Bolton-7 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 16
Multiple Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter Michael Bolton has sold more than 53 million albums and singles worldwide and is currently on a world tour of several continents, all while working on a myriad of genre- and style-spanning projects including work in film, television and musicals.

The show is sponsored by Eastman Chemical and Gregg Industrial Insulators.
California and Montreal Guitar Trios-7:30 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 26, 2013

Representing four countries (Japan, Canada, Belgium, and U.S.), they fuse more than 40 years of combined performing experience into one unique six-by-6-string "phenomensemble." In a pleasantly surprising way, the California trio's steel stringed-guitars blend naturally with the Montreal trio's nylon-stringed guitars, as each trios fret boards chase the others' original compositions and new arrangements of progressive rock, world, jazz and classical music. The show is sponsored by Joy Global Inc. and AEP Southwestern Electric.

In a unique twist, Billy as Buddy celebrates the birth of an era and pays homage to his fellow rockers Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper. The show sponsor is Southside Bank.

Alumni members include Kevin Kline, Rainn Wilson, Patti LuPone, and several others currently working on Broadway. Of Mice and Men is Nobel and Pulitzer Prize-winner John Steinbeck's tale of two drifters and is one of the most widely read stories in America.

"The Ugly Duckling" and "The Tortoise & the Hare"-7 p.m., Monday, Oct. 15
In an age when television, computers and video games reign supreme, the folks at Light Wire Theater (in conjunction with Corbian Visual Arts and Dance) bring their use of cutting-edge technology, moving sculpture, dance, and signature electroluminescent puppetry to an unforgettable theatrical experience. Hans Christian Andersen's classic "The Ugly Duckling" has helped generations of children understand one of humanity's universal struggles. Lightwire Theater brings this classic story to the modern stage offering hope to us all as we root for the ugly duckling who exemplifies resilience and heroism along the way to becoming a beautiful swan.
Aesop's fable "The Tortoise & the Hare," now more than 2,500 years old, continues to drive home the time-tested adage, "Slow and steady wins the race." Both shows feature dazzling visuals, poignant choreography and creative use of music ranging from classical to jazz to pop, bringing these classic tales into new and brilliant light. The show sponsor is Subway Sandwiches of East Texas.
Black Violin-7 p.m., Friday, Feb. 8, 2013
Kev Marcus and Wil b are Black Violin, two classically trained musicians who, along with their deejay TK, have created the ultimate synergy between classical and hip-hop music and with it an incredible opportunity to reach children. In 2005 the group was awarded the prestigious title of "Apollo Legends." The violinists, both graduates of Dillard Performing Arts High School, used their musical talents to earn full scholarships to college. Black Violin now wants to make sure North America's young people get the same exposure to the arts and opportunity they did. Performing and touring with Alicia Keys, P. Diddy, and Akon to name a few, Black Violin has committed itself for the next few years to give back and teach children that classical music is cool. The show sponsor is Subway Sandwiches of East Texas.

Fabulous First Series
Carl Narehood, of Karthaus, Pennsylvania, bought his '55 first-series Chevy fifty miles from his hometown back in 1999. The minute he got the pickup home, he began tearing her apart, anticipating the upgrades she'd be receiving. First up on the list was a bolt-in Mustang II IFS and a '76 Nova rearend. A 350ci Corvette engine soon followed, topped with an Edelbrock 600-cfm carb. The blue and white two-tone paint scheme wasn't far behind before the cab was finished with a set of VDO gauges and custom interior. Carl tells us the truck is very roadworthy now with all the upgrades he's made over the two years it took to complete the project. Nice job Carl!
Editor's Note: Getting your truck into Readers' Trucks is a snap, of the camera, that is. All it takes are a few good-quality photos of your ride that are in focus and well lit. High-resolution digital photos can be sent in via email to: firstname.lastname@example.com. Traditional prints are also acceptable and should be sent to: CCT, c/o Readers' Trucks, 1733 Alton Parkway, Suite 100, Irvine, CA 92606. It is important that you include a detailed description of the modifications you have made to your truck, including any interesting stories behind it. Due to the volume of mail we receive, we regret that we cannot return photographs.
