Overall, they added some nice features, and I'm loving the frosted-glass look and *some* of the icon redesigns. I'm so glad the gray linen and glossy plastic elements will be gone.
I'll still wait for a jailbreak to upgrade (though it sounds like p0sixninja is already making good progress), but it seems like I'll need *far* fewer tweaks to get my phone the way I like it.
Impressive stuff for the most part.
I must say, I'm impressed by what Apple has done w/ iOS 7. It's not mind-blowing (only because we have most of these features w/ a Jailbreak or on Android) but its definitely a step in the right direction. It actually feels like they thought about the consumer again instead of their control.
That said:
-Do I want iOS 7? Very much so!
-Is it worth losing the JB? Not yet, Betas are unfinished and buggy. I can't risk losing a JB AND eventually resorting to a 6.1.4 downgrade
-Will I get iOS 7 when its public? Of course, cuz I'm getting the 5S! I hope Control Ctr. worx on Lockscreen, as well.
finally i'm impressed. I cant wait for IOS7
finally i'm impressed. i cant wait for IOS7
I definitely am really impressed! I'm wondering also since I have a pioneer radio with "app mode" , if they can integrate it to the radio
I can't wait
Here's my two cents: With all that's done in iOS 7 much of what I jailbreak for is gone, little tweaks such as browser changer and color keyboard and atom still aren't there, but those are just fun gimmicks. Am I incredibly impressed with what apple has done? Yes. Am I going to lose my jailbreak? Possibly. You can't say it's not worth it until you've seen videos of the beta running on real iPhones, if people say that iOS 7 is worth losing a jailbreak I probably will update. I know the drawbacks, but you just have to weigh your options. Just my opinion though.
Cant see how the new icon style thing will work unless they intend to make every single developer change their application icons apple are going to end up with a system where the stock icons look completely different to your app store icons removing any consistency in the style
Haven't seen it yet. Only thing I'd like to comment on it is have the sbsettings and Ryan petrich (parallax) patented their idea? Otherwise good luck fighting apple I guess. I also agree with why are people complaining "stealing" from jailbreak community" it's kinda the point in my opinion
Do not like.
I wish this plain & ugly trend Microsoft started with Windows Phone 7 would just go away.
Now it matches Jelly Bean, Windows Phone 8, and Windows 8. Yay. Whenever they get to changing Mac OS to look like this, then everything will look the same. Yay.
I, too, am glad that Apple is taking from the JB Scene. Less tweaks to install that take up space on my device! But, I'm still gonna need: MyWi, Quick Reply, 5 columns, Gridlock, Display Recorder, ScrollingBoard, CallBar & Wraparound.
Here's what I'm most excited about!
Music.app - I'm excited about iTunes Radio! One less app on my device (Pandora)!!! It'd be cool if, eventually, they add song recognition and then I could ditch Soundhound.
NC on Lockscreen - I wonder if Notifications can collapse now?
Safari looks DOPE! Unlimited pages and cool UI = Win!
Weather eliminates TWC, now!!!
Unlimited apps in folders
Camera & Photos.app

Looks much better than that mockup, but I still hate that Game Center icon.
[QUOTE=z3r01;6897030]Ummm....no no....they haven't.....only thing they got from android is notification center....iOS came first....so...]
You can't say certain things haven't come from android, the new multitasking window looks identical to HTC Sense and from what I've read Palm Pre, the auto update of apps is from Android, the way tabbed browsing of Safari is exactly the same as Google Chrome, camera filters have been in since 4.0 as far as I know. The new lock screen with the bubbles could be mistaken for jelly bean with phase beam. At first when I saw the airdrop feature I thought I was exactly the same as one of samsungs all share features were you share pics with someone else over the same Wifi.
Not saying it's a bad thing, it's the way of the world. Companies will borrow stuff but no point in denying a lot of features have been taken from elsewhere.
I know it has no functional purpose, but the new parallax wallpaper thing is badass.
Now I will say, while there's really Mobile OS exclusives that android has like using the proximity sensors to scroll a page or navigate your device, some features are taken from jailbreak tweaks from earlier iOS days that developer made for the iDevices first.
I strongly agree with you that the majority of features came from elsewhere...but I know for a fact that these features (with regard to the notification center) came exclusively from android.
Does it have live wallpapers like on Android though?

This morning I decided to share my apps I've created with a couple of other FFXIV communities out there, spreading the wealth so to speak. While for the most part it has gone OK, in at least one instance it didn't go very well at all (I'm not going to get in to specifics) and through this I've learned that the community we have here at Zam.com is special.
We have our trolls to be sure (they are even kharma bombing the feedback forum ), but we have a LOT of great people here, even the ones who don't post very much or only come out of the woodwork here and there. The regulars are also great, there is a lot of personality here and it is awesome. Our admins are fantastic, the boards are the easiest to use by far (IMO), and the site runs smooth as butter.
What I'm trying to say is, thank you all for being who you are. I'm looking forward to creating new friendships as the game launches and we all get to experience it; I've already made quite a few new friends (especially over in IRC, you guys really need to join us ), Mikahlia, Geffe, Olor, Jereth, Sephrick, and many more. Everyone here rocks

Pu-erh tea gets its name from the region in China where it was first harvested, the city of Pu-erh in the Yunnan Province of China. Pu-erh tea is often classified as being a variety of tea by itself, and is sometimes classified at being a dark tea (dark tea is one of the six classes of tea in China), or as a type of black tea in the United States, although it is actually a variety by itself, such as green tea or white tea. Pu-erh tea is available as a loose leaf tea or in a compressed form such as tea cakes or tea bricks, or our TeaVivre miniature tea cakes.
It is produced as it has been historically in the Yunnan Province of China, which has been a mecca for Pu-erh tea of the highest quality for over 800 years. The Yunnan Province is on the edge of Tibet, and has a very high elevation with warm summers producing abundant rainfall which gives these tea trees especially large, plump buds and leaves which are ideal for producing a premium Pu-erh tea.
Pu-erh tea is one of the oldest types of tea in China, with a history stretching back over 1,700 years to the Eastern Han Dynasty, when the tea was called Jing Cha. Pu-erh is named after the town of Pu-erh in the Yunnan province of China, which was the early trading center for this tea. Pu-erh has also been used as a bartering currency or dowry in parts of China. In Southwest China the famed Cha Ma Gu Dao - "Tea Horse Road" - was built especially to transport Pu-erh tea through the Himalayas to other countries and areas in Tibet.

Rating :
Nice tea, but doesn't stand out to me. It's just a tad flavourful and pungent, but overall it's rather mellow. Pleasant, but nothing outstanding. However, the mini brick is pretty convenient for travel and/or office storage, and the red colour is gorgeous, so I may buy it as a gift for my sister, who has never before tried pu-erh, before introducing her to further pu-erh. Also, I found that less water than recommended (about half the water) gave a tea more aligned with my taste.
Rating :
A nice, yet somewhat unremarkable ripened Pu-Erh.
It brews into a earthy and mellow liquid of a nice, dark color.
To me this Pu-Erh seems like a good tea to keep around for those that focus on other types of tea, but still want a nice, if conventional, Pu-Erh every now and again.
Rating :
Now THIS is TEA!!! Very earthy, wet grass, rich taste and aroma. No bitterness .... just deep dark flavour. This is my favourite tea of all the samples I tried.
Rating :
Fine and smooth ripe Pu-erh cubes; individual portions make it easy to take them with you anywhere and something nice to give away. This tea keeps going after 8 steeps, but better use 2 cubes if you want to brew more than 200ml of water. There is an interesting hint of black pepper that gives character to this tea.
Rating :
I brewed this the first time according to directions (one mini-brick to between sixteen and seventeen ounces of water), but found that didn't work well for my tastes, having plenty of body but no flavour. Cutting the water to eight ounces gave me a much better experience, producing an earthy cup with cinnamon nuances and a decent resteeper.
Rating :
I have been drinking Pu-erh tea for years. This tea is excellent. It is smooth and rich.
Rating :
I like the portion size cube. It is also high quality and can be steeped several times. I'm somewhat new to pu her but this is the best ripe one I have had so far.
Rating :
This Shou really hit the spot. These little cubes are convenient and are very clean and smooth-tasting. The tea page mentions a clay taste, and I think I get that in most ripe puerhs. It was evident here, but the flavor was nice and uncomplicated, and sweetened upon further steeps. It steeps out fairly quickly. Overall, it's a great everyday Shou.
Rating :
I have never tried Pu-erh until now and I`m surprised with its taste. To be honest, I have feeling that I would prefer raw Pu-erh, but this one is really high-quality product. Cubes are cute and small, appropriate to carry with you when you travel, work, go somewhere for weekend. Moreover, the package is great, with three free examples. Great experience
Rating :
I was going to try and make this one in a gaiwan but I got a last minute notice that prevented me from that and instead I did a single long steep in a 250ml teapot. What's interesting with this 'mini' type of pressed Pu Erh is that it's really convenient for trips and I use that advantage to the fullest. The disadvantage with this type of Pu Erh is that the leaf is coarsly broken (I've seen the fragments from few millimeters to an centimeter or two) which in return results in less steeps and sometimes more bitter taste than the usual pressed ripe Pu Erh.
A good part of these 'mini' Pu Erhs are pressed really hard and it takes some time for the leaf to expand and release its active components, but this particular one did it in a minute or so. I wanted to strain it to the cup at that moment but I really didn't have time to steep the leaves again since I was in a hurry. After five minutes of steeping I got a deep black infusion with brown-red rim and a wet clay-like note at the top mixed with molasses. The first sip revealed a full body with a freshness and element of clay. The finish is more complex with notes of orchid and molasses. As the liquor cools down the elements are getting harmonized and there's a certain smooth and oily feel in the mouth and lips (actual oil from the leaf, I guess). At this point the aftertaste gets a minty element to it as well. What's really nice about this tea that it doesn't develop bitterness or briskness that's present in some of the 'mini' types of Pu Erh.
All in all, very nice and balanced tea for its 'kind', the only potential turn away is that it has a certain clay accent that some people don't like.
Reply: Thanks for your question.
This tea is come from the largest ecological tea garden of Yunnan—— Ying Pan Shan Tea Garden and it is adhere to Eurofins' regulations.
Hope it helps.
Reply: On our site,all organic teas have the organic certification from the United States and European, therefore, there is no organic pu erh teas on our site.
For now, many "organic" pu erh teas can only pass the test in China. Because of the complicated chemical reaction in the pilling process, these pu erh teas can't meet the requirement of organic from US, or EU.
And Ripened Cube Tuo Cha Pu-erh Mini Brick 2006 have through the test of the requirements of regulation (EC), which stricter than Chinese standard.
Please do not worry, Teavivre also pay attention to the security of the teas as all of you.
When we are selecting the teas, we also put the security at the first place.
Hope this is helpful to your concern.
Reply: Thank you for your question.
Yes, the Mini Brick is a little bit larger than mini tuocha. Therefore mini brick can be steeped 2-3 times more than mini tuocha.
And the material of mini brick is picked in 2006 while the mini tuocha was picked in 2007. The liquid of mini brick is a little bit brighter and clearer than that of mini tuo cha.
Both these two teas are the entry level of puerh tea. And the taste of them are typical ripened pu erh taste.
And about 15 pieces mini bricks are 100 grams.
Hope this is helpful to your concern.

Tracking green movements across Europe
Whether you like it or not, you're going to have to admit that no, there is not as much snow in the Himalayas as there used to be. Yes, that polar bear is getting rather frustrated with the fact that his playground is rapidly shrinking, and undoubtedly there are some thirsty cattle tongue-lolling their way round a dry river bed.
Now, you could go live in a cave and recycle your pee, or you could follow these easy travel guidelines. Firstly use Eurostar, the cross-channel operator who shouts loudest about its green credentials, and rightly so. By the end of 2008 it had achieved a 31% reduction in CO2 emissions per traveller, with a pledge to raise that to 35% by 2012, Eurostar.
Next, we have Green Tomato Cars, a car-rental firm launched in 2006 with just 4 cars, that now has a fleet of Toyota Prius cars – which translates as about 1200 tonnes less CO2 if their passengers had taken taxis, GreenTomatoCars.
And lastly, good old Brittany Ferries, which also does the UK to northern Spain route, managed to save around 2000 of fuel in 2008 – and that's not from turning off the engines and floating across. On its ferries across the Bay of Biscay (one of the best places in Europe to spot whales and dolphins), it hosts researchers from marine research organisation Orca, who give presentations and relay sightings en-route. BrittanyFerries.

Dead Space 2
Review by DachshundKing
"Dead Space 2 is Better in Almost Every Way"
I preordered Dead Space 2, finished it in three days, and never stopped having fun, which is a rarity for most games I play. It was absolutely fantastic, and when my friend finally returns it, I intend to start another playthrough immediately. The game was better than the original (which I loved) in almost every conceivable way, except, oddly enough, for the horror aspect. The game simply wasn't that scary to me. In any case, on with the review.
Gameplay: 9/10
The gameplay is nearly rock solid; there are a few minor hiccups, but too few to annoy. The game is, like its predecessor, a third-person shooter based around dismembering enemies to kill them, as they possess incredible toughness and die fastest when crippled. The weapons, ranging from a surprisingly ineffective Javelin Gun which can impale and electrify enemies, to an even better version of the Ripper (basically a gravity chainsaw) from the first game, are all fun to use, although some are weak and fairly ineffective until the player massively upgrades them.
There are not particularly many new enemies, which is something of a failing, but honestly, I don't care. The enemies they've added add new, exciting aspects to gameplay. Take the Pack, for instance: necromorph children with vicious claws who run fast and surround you in huge numbers; another example are the Stalkers, who play cat-and-mouse with the player, trying to lure you into a trap.
The new suit system, in which a suit not only provides you with permanent armor and health bonuses, but also a bonus (such as cheaper items in the shops or better damage with the Pulse Rifle) based on what suit you wear, is excellent. Even better, if you change suits to get a preferred appearance or extra bonus, the armor and health bonus remains at the level of the best suit bought: in other words, you can wear the first suit and get its bonus, but have the armor and health of the best suit.
Another fantastic thing in this game: certain windows can be shot out to suck all the enemies into space, but you have to shoot the red button over the window before it sucks you out unless you want a grisly death. This is fun, but if enemies break it and you are at a bad angle or very close, shooting the button becomes impossible. This led to two cheap deaths on my part.
Controls: 9/10
The controls are even better than the first game, which had incredibly good controls for the horror genre. The buttons have been remapped to make it easier to fight quickly, which is necessary: the hordes that attack Isaac are far more numerous and vicious than before. One of the biggest changes is Kinesis; although objects could be thrown in the first game, this was generally a one-off or a last resort. In this game, Kinesis is far faster and more efficient. It is possible to hit an enemy with Stasis to slow them down, blow off a bladed arm, then snatch it out of midair with Kinesis and almost instantly fire it back into the enemy, possibly impaling it to a wall. Another excellent change is to Stasis; much like Kinesis, it used to be little more than a puzzle-solver and a last resort due to the player's dependency on recharge stations or portable recharge packs, which cluttered inventory space. Now it recharges, albeit incredibly slowly until upgraded, and becomes an integral part of combat.
Story: 7/10
Don't get me wrong: the story is better than the last game's story. It involves Isaac Clarke's quest to find out why he has woken up on the Sprawl, a teeming colony on the tiny remaining shard of Titan, once a moon of Saturn, now mined out of all its valuable minerals. Needless to say, a necromorph infestation has taken over the Sprawl, killing and transforming most of the citizens. Isaac is then forced to make his way through the Sprawl, trying to hold on to his wavering sanity and find a way to stop the infestation.
Returning, of course, are the numerous, "go here, fix that" quests that move the story, but this time, rather than being ordered around by two irritating crew members presumably sitting in safety and sipping coffee while Isaac does everything, Isaac gives himself most of the orders in the form of telling someone else what he has to go do to save the day. Not a massive improvement.
Isaac now has a voice and a "personality." Frankly, his personality comes across as somewhat schizophrenic; in one scene he seems bland and uninteresting, in another hostile and confident, and in another he comes across with a jaunty attitude best described as "Nathan Drake-like." Still, it's a definite improvement to the character as compared to the last game. In the last game, when he finds out about the game's biggest, most tragic twist, his reaction is to grab his temples and shake his head slowly for three seconds, like he's suffering from sudden attack of dizziness or a migraine.
In any case, another odd thing is the accents: I swear some of the voice actors from the previous game are playing different but similar characters in this one (and making no effort to sound different).
Sound: 10/10
Although this game barely frightened me, the ambiance is amazingly good, just like the last game. There are clanks and clatters, distant screams, and flickering lights; messages written in blood adorn the walls and the cheery music pouring out of a clothing store provides a stark contrast to the slavering monstrosities advancing on you from all angles. Even in rooms where nothing happens, something will almost certainly frighten you.
Graphics: 10/10
I haven't seen a game this beautifully rendered in a long time. The character models are as high-quality as Resident Evil 5, and the environments are stunning. Ranging from a dark and brooding church to an utterly terrifying day-care center, this game is beautiful.I don't know enough about graphics to declare them the "greatest ever" or "not making use of the 360's potential" but trust me: to the layman, this game is gorgeous.
Horror Factor: 7/10
I don't know why this game doesn't scare me. Dead Space 1 terrified me. It took me 12 days to complete it; I couldn't take more than one chapter at a time. I beat this game in 3 days and barely was frightened at all. The opening of the game sets the bar high, with a desperate run that makes the previous game's opening look tame, but the horror seemed to ratchet off after a little while. The game is still scary, but it just didn't scare me as much as the first. Still, it seems to terrify most people, so I can still recommend it as a good, scary game.
Multiplayer: 7/10
I haven't played the multiplayer very much, but it's basically okay. If you were thinking about buying this game largely for its multiplayer (for some reason) I honestly couldn't recommend it, however. It's basically just an AvP-style humans vs necromorphs, with the human players trying to complete objectives and the necromorph players trying to stop them. It certainly isn't the worst multiplayer I've ever played, but it isn't in the same ballpark as CoD or Halo.
Replayability: Very High
It took about 9 or 10 hours for me to beat this game, so it isn't as short as most modern games. Even better, the New Game+ feature, which lets you carry over your items and weapons into the next game, increases the replayability massively. In addition, there is a gamer challenge: Hard Core mode. Unlocked after beating the story, Hard Core mode only allows the player to save their game 3 times in the entire playthrough, makes the enemies incredibly tough and deadly, and gives you only what it considers to be the bare minimum of health and ammo to survive. This mode, upon completion, offers one of the most amazingly fun rewards of all time.
Final Answer
This is both a great horror game and a great game overall; the puzzles are simple but engaging enough, the controls make Resident Evil's style look even more archaic, and the story is good enough to move the game along. Other than a very cheap final boss, this game has solid enemies as well. I could recommend it to anyone; not only that, but this game is worth buying new, for full price. Believe me, they've more than earned the money.

So I don't ever really seem to take good pictures but when I look in the mirror I think I look good. what makes someone photogenic? or in my case what makes someone not photogenic?
Most Helpful Girl
You have to know what angles are most flattering for your face. Try looking in a mirror and tilting your head slightly in different directions until you think you've found your best looking angle and then when you take a picture make sure you angle your face the same way at the lens00|00|0
never thought of that lol thanks ill give it a try

What's New
2012 Laurenz V. Charming Gruner Veltliner
90pt from Wine Spectator June 15, 2014 issue
Charming Grüner Veltliner
The grapes for this very charming wine are grown in the Kamptal region of Austria. Here, the Grüner Veltliner ripens in granite, gneiss, mica slate as well as loess soils. From the neighbouring region to the north, the rugged Waldviertel, blows cool air that substantially lowers night temperatures in the Kamptal; this in turn slows up the ripening process of the grapes. But these conditions are exactly why the wines from this region taste so fresh and fruity. The most beautiful kind of "Cool Climate
The Name
LAURENZ V. stands for five generations of the Laurenz Moser wine dynasty. The winemaker Laurenz Maria Moser V. focusses entirely on the grape variety Grüner Veltliner.
The great 2014 vintage has given us exceptional wines with outstanding quality. The first months of the year were influenced by a lasting drought. However, as of May it started to rain which brought us a flowering and vegetation period that filled us with hope for a great vintage. Due to the difficult weather conditions, including long rainy periods during summer and autumn, we undertook a rigorous selection in the vineyards to achieve 100% healthy and ripened grapes. This enabled us to create wonderful wines that are rich in flavour. The vintage displays clean, fruit-driven, fullbodied and complex wines with lively acidity. This is perfect for our typical Grüner Veltliner wines which are full of vibrant fruit characters and vital freshness.
Tasting Notes
Aromas of ripe apples and a typical Veltliner spiciness marry to create a fascinating fruit bouquet. On the palate, the wine is soft and juicy, supported by a fine fruit acidity. Very harmonious, allowing for perfectly smooth drinking. Simply charming!
Alcohol: 13.0% vol
Acidity: 6.0 g/l
Residual Sugar: 2.0 g/l – dry
Released December 2015

I had a CO2 resurfacing procedure and the Regenica Recovery Gel has been my relief from the redness and itchiness from the procedure and really helps the healing process. Awesome product, skin feels very good .
AMAZING product!!! I will continue to order it, it helps build collagen and plump the skin!
I LOVE this product! Ive used it on multiple areas. Ive used it as a lip treatment and under my eye on those days that I have a little puffiness because of the arnica & cooling tip. Also use it as a quick heal for recently popped zits or cuts. Heals the skin so quickly & the price point is great!

I have been using it on some cystic acne and it is healing my skin amazingly well. I will never be able to live without this product!

When worked by cities, tiles adjacent to rivers receive a bonus of 1 Energy. Further, rivers are sources of fresh water, allowing the construction of farms on adjacent hills and tundra. Units expend all of their movement points when crossing rivers. This is not the case if the tiles are connected by roads or magrails. Finally, units receive a -20% penalty when they are attacking across a river.

About this price
Land cost only. Does not include international airfare.
Single room supplement $450
See all the reasons why you should travel with Holbrook
What makes us different
Early evening arrival into Holguín, the fourth largest city in Cuba with known for its vibrant cultural scene. A colonial city founded in the early 1500's, it is today the gateway to the beaches and resorts of Guardalavaca located about a 45 minute drive from Holguin. After your arrival into Holguin, enjoy dinner at a local paladar preceded by a prerequisite beer (Holguín is Cuba's main brewing city). After dinner, there are multiple options for live music and even an open air Cabaret.
This morning, visit the historic center of Holguin including the Plaza Calixto García, with a possible stop at the Instituto Cuban de Libro (Cuban Institute of books), a print shop still using Linotype or the Fábrica de Órganos or factory of mechanical musical organs. After lunch head east towards the altiplano (plateau) of the La Mensura National Park, where the mists drift through the pine forests. En route visit the farming village of Birán, the birthplace and childhood home of Fidel and Raul Castro. Arrive at Pinares de Mayarí, an eco-lodge located at about 3,264 ft. above sea level.
Today, explore the area starting with the Cuban Academy of Sciences, Integral Montane Research Station which includes an Orchid garden. Also, visit and swim in the beautiful Salto El Guayabo, a twin waterfall. The lookout point offers incredible views of the canyon and out to the Atlantic. Birding in this area is very worthwhile with over 21 endemics that can be seen here.
This morning, head further east towards Baracoa, Cuba's oldest city. En route we will pass a series of port towns that are the core of Cuba's mineral ore industries. Leaving the industrial area behind, we arrive at the Eastern jewel of Baracoa. Known for its old fashioned way of life and its individuality, Baracoa is nestled between the Bahía de Miel (Honey Bay) and El Yunque, the table mountain that looms above the city. This afternoon, we will become acquainted with the town and stop into the City Historian's office for a visit to the historic city center. A highlight is a visit to the Archaeological Museum Cave of Paradise, that has aboriginal artifacts, carvings, and jewelry nestled in between crevices between dripstone formations.
Today we will visit Parque Nacional Alejandro de Humboldt. The Park is located within a larger reserve system called the Cuchillas de Toa Biosphere Reserve. Encompassing diverse ecosystems and climate types, it protects the richest flora and fauna in Cuba, including more endemic species than anywhere else on the island. Also found here are the amazingly colorful snails. The trail called Iberian Balcony leads inland to waterfalls and natural pools. We will spend the better part of the day visiting the park and return to Baracoa in the afternoon. Lunch will be a box lunch to enjoy in the park and dinner will be on own to explore the paladars in the city.
This morning, we return to Parque Nacional Alejandro de Humboldt for a look at the coastal area called Bahía de Taco which protects roughly 5,600 acres of marine ecosystems, including mangroves, an off shore caye, and white sand beaches that end in coral reefs. Manatees can also be seen. Our visit today includes hiking, snorkeling, boat riding and time to soak up the amazing natural beauty of this area.
This morning we will depart for Santiago de Cuba via one of the most scenic routes in Cuba; steep ascents through pine forests, and breathtaking views. As we approach Santiago de Cuba, we will be entering the city via the route that Fidel Castro and his group of 122 followers took in 1953 during the first and failed attempt to capture the Moncada Barrack in his attempt to overthrow Batista and start the Revolution. All along the route are monuments to the fallen heroes. The Granja Siboney, or Siboney farm, along that same road, was a staging place for the revolutionaries. The 1953 Buick that Fidel rode to Moncada is gleaming under a protective roof covering. This evening enjoy a paladar dinner and perhaps some music at the Casa de la Trova - a first taste of the beautiful historic center of Santiago.
This morning, visit the Museum of Natural History of Santiago and headquarters of BIOECO, a branch of the Ministry of Science, Technology and the Environment. You will have a chance to meet with the staff and they will share the efforts that are ongoing to rebuild the Museum after the devastating effects of Hurricane Sandy in 2012. After a brief visit to the Museum, travel 20 minutes to one of their field stations in the nearby Baconao Biosphere Reserve or to another site to see their environmental education programs with local communities in action. On route back to the city center, visit San Juan Hill, the where on July 1, 1898, after the United States entered the Spanish American War, the "rough riders" 3,000 US and Cuban troops including Teddy Roosevelt stormed the hill and won that battle that definitively ended the Spanish Empire's colonial reign.
Santiago de Cuba was the first capital of Cuba; founded by Diego de Velázquez in 1514 and remained the capital until 1553. Its first Capitan general was Hernán Cortés, who later conquered Mexico, Santiago was also home to Francisco Pizarro (conqueror of Peru), among other leading Spanish political figures. The prosperity and strength of the city lay in the nearby copper mines, the splendidly protected harbor, and to massive importation of slaves from West Africa. Additionally, Santiago is also the birthplace of the Revolution. After the failed attempt in 1953, in 1959 that Fidel and the Rebel Army arrived in Santiago to accept the resignation of Batista's general and begin the victory parade towards Havana. In 2015 Santiago celebrated the cities 500 year Anniversary. Fresh from the post Hurricane Sandy repair and the recent visit of Pope Francis in 2015, Santiago is in fine form. Today will be dedicated to visiting the important sites of the City; the home of Don Diego Velázquez (reputedly the oldest building in Cuba), Cuartel Moncada (the barracks that saw the martyrdom of the Cuban Revolutionary heroes in 1953), the Spanish fortress El Morro (an amazingly well preserved 17th Century fort that gives chilling insight to the Spanish era, and the Spanish American War), the Cemetery of Saint Ifigenia (final resting place of important Cuban figures, not least José Martí), and finally the awesome Basílica de Nuestra Señora del Cobre (dedicated to Cuban's Patron Saint, the black virgin, the Virgin of the Copper, this is an important site for faithful Cubans from all over the Island).
This morning, depart from Santiago for your flight home.

Shifting in My Alfa Romeo
That Alfa Romeo saved my life. My social life, that is. The thing is, when I started my career in marketing it was in the hypercompetitive soap category. I spent my days studying ring-around-collar and trying to figure out ways to get consumers to switch from one brand of detergent or fabric softener to another.
Great from a strategic-learning perspective, sure. But, the women I was dating did not want to hear about the trials and tribulations of the soap wars. So, the Alfa Romeo.
It was back when I began my career that the movie "The Graduate" came out. Dustin Hoffman spent a good part of this iconic film driving a fantastic-looking Alfa Romeo Spider all the while doing whatever he could to win the affections of the fantastic-looking Katharine Ross. I figured if it could work for Dustin, it might work for me. Lest you think I'm about to share the trials and tribulations of my subsequent dating life, I'm not. (Suffice it to say, I have been happily married for many years.) More germane to the topic at hand is the experience of driving that car. While I had driven a stick-shift on occasion prior to the Alfa, I was now driving one every day.
For those of you who have never driven a car with manual transmission, or stick shift, listen up. It's nothing like driving a car with an automatic transmission. It necessitates that you are totally attuned to the road conditions, the bumps and potholes, the hills – both the ups and downs – not to mention the traffic's ebb and flow, along with the weather conditions. More than this, it necessitates that you are totally in tune with the car itself. The variations in the sounds of the engine, the fluctuations in moving parts as you accelerate or decelerate, the subtle interaction between the clutch and the shifter. Not only is a stick shift car more fun to drive, it requires far more skill than a car with automatic transmission. You must anticipate, grasp, and then intuitively react to the situation, over and again, in equal measures.
So, where I am going with all of this car talk? It's to draw an analogy relative to what's required to successfully manage a brand in a marketplace in which change is the only constant and branding on cruise control is not an option. The best brands today know that getting ahead and staying ahead requires being open and agile enough do two seemingly opposing things simultaneously. The first, to fluidly and quickly shift gears to meet the demands of the market. To anticipate, grasp and then intuitively react to the situation. The second, to do so without losing focus on the brand's core equities, the things that drive what it stands for. That magical two percent that sets the brand apart from the competition and makes it meaningfully different in the minds of consumers. The "who, the what, and the why" of the brand.
If an organization doesn't have what it takes to shift on the fly, it fails. If it shifts but doesn't maintain focus on its brand's true colors, safeguarding the brand's authenticity, it fails. The ability to adroitly manage the constant tension between these two activities in order to keep a brand relevantly distinctive in any and all market conditions is what separates today's brand winners from the losers. And that is what this book is about.
Fitbit Must Be Careful Not to Tip the Scales – in Apple's Favor
It was a success right out of the gate. Fitbit was founded in 2007 by James Park and Eric Friedman, who saw the potential for using sensors in wearable devices. In this case, it was a wearable device that tracked fitness. The pair launched the first Fitbit model in 2009, shipping around 5,000 units with over 20,000 orders on the books. Sensing success, Best Buy got in on the action, stocking the increasingly popular trackers in over 650 of its stores. The brand soon became the standard bearer for fitness tracking wearers.
Among the reasons for the brand's success during its first few years on the market, was that its founders continued to make investments in newer models, beginning with the addition of simple features like altimeters, a digital clock and a stopwatch, and then more sophisticated features, including apps that connected to Bluetooth, syncing to both iOS and Android phones, as well as the Fitbit website. One model after another rolled off the assembly line, from the Fitbit Classic to the Fitbit Ultra, the Fitbit One to the Fitbit Flex, each one offering more ways for the physically (or, hopefully) fit to keep track of their health and wellness. Like all strong brands, Fitbit knew it had to keep shifting gears to keep itself relevant to its current, loyal users, and also to appeal to potential users. But, alas, what the brand might have begun to lose track of in its quest to stay relevant was the simultaneous need to focus on what made it successful to begin with. This common conundrum – the need to balance shift and focus – became apparent to the millions of people who were watching Super Bowl 50 in February of this year.
Spending millions of dollars for a Super Bowl ad, Fitbit used its 60 seconds to tout its newest model, the Fitbit Blaze, the brand's first "fashionable" fitness watch. In doing so, it not only jeopardized some very valuable air time, but its reputation as the first, and potentially best, maker of fitness trackers. With the Fitbit Blaze, the brand leapt right into direct competition with Apple and its smartwatch, the first and potentially best in this technology category. Rather than looking at and focusing on what it owned and what it was known for, Fitbit lost its balance. It jumped into a space it absolutely didn't own. It put itself into a position of being a me-too brand.
For those watching the Fitbit ad (if they weren't out refilling the nachos platter), it was not that it was almost identical to the Apple Watch – the ad and the device, itself – but that it begged the question why a successful brand like Fitbit would rock its credibility, chasing a brand with which it will have a hard time competing, let alone beating. Every brand, especially every technology brand, needs to shift to stay relevantly differentiated. The key to success, however, is being able to look before you leap – looking both inside at what strengths you own and can build upon, and at the same time looking outside.

Croatia's government debt at the end of first quarter of 2016 amounted to HRK 188,35 billion which is HRK 4.7 billion or 1.6% less on the year, the statistical office of the European Union Eurostat reported on Friday.
It is also the first decrease of the governemnt debt on the year since those statistical data are being recorded, placing Croatia among EU member states with the largest decrease of the government debt, Eurostat said in a report.
According to the report released on Friday, the share of the government debt in GDP at the end of Q1 was 85.8%, while in the corresponding period last year it amounted to 89.1%.
The largest decreases were recorded in Ireland (-16.7 pp), the Netherlands (-4.3 pp), Denmark (-4.1 pp), Germany, Croatia and Malta (all -3.3 pp).
At the end of the first quarter of 2016, the government debt to GDP ratio in the euro area (EA19) stood at 91.7%, compared with 90.7% at the end of the fourth quarter of 2015.
In the EU28, the ratio decreased from 85.3% to 84.8%. Compared with the first quarter of 2015, the government debt to GDP ratio fell in both the euro area (from 93.0% to 91.7%) and the EU28 (from 88.1% to 84.8%).

Dangerous prisoner Jonathan Turley on the run
A prisoner described by the PSNI as 'violent' is missing from custody.
33-year-old Jonathan Turley who failed to return to Magilligan prison, was last seen in Newcastle, County Down, on Sunday.
The police are unsure as to whether or not Turley is still in Northern Ireland, and they have appealed for him to turn himself in.
Detective Inspector Jenna Fitzpatrick said: "We know that Mr Turley travelled to Belfast on Saturday evening and was then sighted in the Newcastle area on Sunday.
"I would urge the public not to approach Mr Turley as he has an extensive history of violence and may pose a risk to the them.
"I would also appeal to Mr Turley to hand himself in to the authorities without any further delay and ask anyone who knows of his current whereabouts or who has any information to contact police on 999."

Arizona Diamondbacks Drop 2 of 3 to Dodgers but Don't Lose Ground in NL West Race
Ian Kennedy: The D-Backs' stopper.
Getty Images
Sure, losing two of three to an inferior team feels pretty bad, but at least the weekend series for the Arizona Diamondbacks wasn't a complete disaster. That's because the San Francisco Giants, who led the D-Backs by .5 games heading into the weekend, exited the weekend still leading by only .5 games. In what could be a National League Championship Series preview, the Philadelphia Phillies won three of four against the Giants.
As in the Giants' case on Sunday with Tim Lincecum stopping the bleeding, it took the ace of the D-Backs staff, Ian Kennedy, to salvage the weekend. Kennedy pitched seven strong innings, giving up three runs on six hits and a walk. He left the game trailing 3-2, but shortstop and Mesa native Cody Ransom bailed out Kennedy with a two-run homer (the first of his career) in the bottom of the seventh. Kennedy walked away with the win after David Hernandez and J.J. Putz pitched scoreless eighth and ninth innings, respectively. Kennedy is now 14-3 on the season with a highly respectable 3.20 earned-run average.
On Friday, the D-Backs lost 7-4, and on Saturday, they lost 5-3. In Friday's contest, D-Backs starting pitcher Josh Collmenter took a beating, giving up six runs in just 2.1 innings, and on Saturday, Dodgers rookie Nate Eovaldi struck out seven while giving up only two runs in five innings for his first career win.
Tonight, the D-Backs open a four-game series against arguably the worst team in baseball, the Houston Astros. Daniel Hudson will take his 11-7 record and 3.67 earned-run average to the mound as he opposes the Astros' Wandy Rodriguez.
Game time is 6:40 p.m. TV: Fox Sports Net. Radio: KTAR 620 AM. More info: www.dbacks.com.

I was going to use plex for my home media setup because i really like its simplicity. After all i have to have this user friendly for my wife and kids. However have found 1 really terrible flaw, plex does not have any real support for the hd homerun prime. There are some unsupported plugins and i was able to get it going but its interface was not great and there was no tv guide at all.
I have been playing with kodi for about a month now and i really like it other than the silly fact amazon doesnt allow you to just download it and install it from their version of a play store ( silly pirates ruin a great media platform )
I have decided a centralized system to manage things will be the way to go, especially with how cheap and powerful a resberry pi 3 is. So i am making that little thing the heart of the media center with 1 fire tv and later a fire stick or maybe a fire tv
So my question really is this, what is a good setup for kodi to work with a hd homerun prime and is it possible to have dvr functionality? It would be especially awesome if someone knows about drm channels so i could watch hbo also right from kodi.
Essentially i am trying to make a home media setup where i can manage all the movies in 1 location so the cover art and everything shows up properly on all the devices once i have it correct on the media center.
Thank you!
Looking for suggestions / recomendations

Kodi and hdhomerun prime is a perfect marriage, imo definately the way to go.
No drm in Kodi as of yet,though. But it's a rather hot topic right now so hopes are high.
Have a read in case you havent found it: Add-on:HDHomeRun (wiki)
If you like plex, i believe there is a plex addon for kodi, but i have not touched it yet, myself.
Might interest you.

hdhomerun isnt great on amazon devices Fyi - better off with a Pi3 in all honesty.
drm will not work in kodi - only wmc, xbox one, (maybe) their android app.
the silicondust hdhomerun https://shop.silicondust.com/shop/ is what I use and love.

The funny thing is there is a hdhomerun app for the fire tv i have. It won't play drm channels. The only platform i have gotten drm to work on so far is my windows 10 laptop so i think for now i will just have to give up being able to play hbo on anything short of a windows platform.
The marriage of kodi and mythtv looks really promising to potentially play live tv from the homerun and maybe even give me recording capabilities. I wish i knew more about this but i am thinking my pi should run raspberian with kodi and mythtv backend. Then my fire tv should have kodi and the myth frontend plugin.
I love the idea of working with a pi as the server. If this distro runs most of the stuff a linux distro runs i can eventually expand my storage to being a RAID storage and all i will have to do is have multiple USB to sata adapters.

Not sure how well mythbackend works on a pi. Some research required on the mythtv mailing list archive as I have seen the pi mentioned there recently. Personally I run an oldish hp workstation as my backend.

I am a bit torn, i love the flexibility of kodi and its interface for my hdhomerun works well. I love the look of ple but its interface i have found ( via unofficial plugins because the whole point of this is to get rid of my cablebox fee not pay it to someone else ) is less than desirable and there is no guide. I fubared my pi this evening messing around with permissions lol somehow managed to make ssh unstable for me to log into it. I am thinking that if i can get it all working a mythtv backend with plex server running will be great and on the client devices plex with myth tv plugins. If that fails the heck with amazon kodi is being installed on everything it works well and the looks can be tweaked. my only annoyance is setting up sources to properly scrape can be tricky.

My English is maybe not the best so, i could be misunderstanding you.
Am i reading this line correct, you do not want to pay the cable box fee anymore, but just get it from the Internet.
If so you should read this great topic, see if its any help.

Yep thats quite the misunderstanding.
I have no desire to steal content, which is essentially what you are saying.
The hdhomerun is a device to replace a cable box, legally. It annoys me that plex wants to support it but for a monthly fee because for me the major advantage of the hdhomerun is not paying a fee for the cable box.

Hello Lovely cake ladies and gents
I resently won a contest, landing me a $500 gift certiciate to my choice of stores. I know I will be getting myself a Cuisinart mixer but am torn between the 5.5 quart and the 7 quart.
Please ignore the size difference for a moment, I would love to know if any of you have any insight as to the performance differences between the mixers. Is there a big difference between the 1000wts and 800wts? Any defects more prevelent in one model over the other?
I defer to your excellent judgement. Thank you!
Great Question...I've been looking into and wondering about that. Only I've been looking at KitchenAid Mixers...Do you know the difference between the two?
I will be following this post closely ... Thanks for the question
There are several great posts about the merits between Kitchenaid and Cuisinart, that's what lead me to decide on Cuisinart. I would like to know though about people's thoughts on my question...
$500 - wow! Congrats!! You are spending your gift certificate exactly how I would....
I have both. There are no defects on any of the two. I'm only a hobby baker but I research my stuff to death...lol. First I got a 7 qt, then I sent a 5.5 qt to my sister (in another country), then I got myself a 5.5 qt to leave at my aunt's house when I go visit and want to bake with the kids there.
I can't make a double batch of IMBC on the 5.5 qt like I do on the 7 qt. (it overflows) but I don't notice much difference on power or speed. I've used both to make bread successfully, too. My sister has a small cake business and she uses her 5.5 qt all the time.
I got the 7 qt about 3 years ago, the 5.5 qt a few months ago. My sister has been using hers for 2 years, no problems.
Wonderfully helpful, thank you imaginethatnj. I can't see spending more of my $500.
Cab333-Thanks! I was thrilled. I had just finished a lovely book called something like "How my mother raise ten kids on twenty-five words or less"
It was about a woman who entered contests in the 1950s to keep her family afloat with her prize winnings. I loved it, cried at the end. I was so inspired! The NEXT day our local paper was looking for jingles so I entered. (I'm a music teacher too so I imagine that that helped.) I told my friends, you watch, I'll win. And I did
Cuisinart, here I come!
I would love to hear more responses from other satisfied owners of the 5.5 and 7 quart models. Thank you!
Anyone else able to comment on their experience with the 5.5 vs 7.0?
I have the 7 qt. I love, love, love it! I can make a double recipe of just about everything in it and that saves lots of time. I don't have any experience with the 5.5 qt, but I don't regret paying the extra amount for the larger one.
I am a retired cake baker/cake decorator and now a hobby baker. I make cakes for family only now and bake a lot of bread. This past Christmas my wonderful wife gave me the 7 qt. Cuisinart and its a fantastic machine. I can do big batches of cake batter, buttercreme, and dough-mix up to 6 loaves. You wouldn't be sorry with the larger, in my opinion!
Oh that story was made into a movie too, I watched it a couple years ago. Good Movie. Ill see if I can find the name.
Minstrelmiss, will your choice of stores include Bed Bath & Beyond? I waited for a 20% off certificate and bought them there. I definitely think you should get the 7 qt. I'm a believer of always getting the best you can afford.
Well, I was hoping to use my handy-dandy family owned restaurant supply store but they have not been willing to price their machines as competitive as BB&B. Also, BB&B is on back order for the 7 quart. I was hoping some of the answers I received would reassure me that i would not regret getting the smaller machine. However, BB&B is selling the 5.5 for $299-20%=$239. I would still have half of my prize to play with on other toys
I have the 5.5qt and I like it, except for the noise. Its too loud (to me), but other than that, it was a great buy.
The movie was... The Prize Winner of Defiance Ohio...Woody Harrelson & Julianne Moore...great movie, sorry it took so long, I forgot to write back! LOL
I just got the 7 qt and love it. LOVE it. I also have a 6 qt kitchen aid and would trade that for another 7 qt cuisinart.
I have both and LOVE both! lol I use the 5.5 qt most of the time and the 7 qt when I am doubling recipes.
I can't speak for the 5.5 quart, but I know I love my 7 quart! You may not always need that larger bowl, but when you do, it's nice to know it's there. I know what you're saying about being able to purchase some other "toys" if you got the 5.5, but IMHO I think you're better of going for the bigger one now. As prices go up on things, you may not be able to afford it later if/when you decide you need the larger bowl, and right now it's almost a freebie for you. I, too, purchased mine through BB&B with the 20% off coupon.

Classified Ads Scam
| Gumtree classifed ads for room rental
'Hi, I have keen interest in renting ur unit listed on rental web so send more details/photos directly to email@example.com Pls I prefer email only'
I emailed a link to the advertisement with photos as requested. I received a strange email in return as follows:
Thanks for getting back to me. I am a simple, cool and non-smoker lady. I am willing to rent the unit as I am at sea at the moment as i am a Coastguard Agency employee in USA but i was Born and brought up in Phang Nga, Thailand. I am coming to study and I will work part-time down there but due to the nature of my work, phone calls making and visiting of website are restricted. I only squeezed out time to check this advert and send you an email regarding this. i am ready to rent it asap so tell me how much is the rent/share per month and how much deposit do i have to pay. Please send me more period you wish to rent this out, I have attached my photo with this email for you to have a view of me.
Looking forward to read back from you soon
All the requested information was already in the ad so that and the content of the email raised suspicions. There was also a photo attachment of a young Thai girl which thankfully I never opened.

no - however in the days of yesteryear when I worked for an MSP I can remember putting in approximately a 30 hour shift restoring a "mission critial' nt 4 server from i believe 30gb tapes and a 10 year old veritas backup exec. Note this was in 2009

One time, a couple years ago, I accidentally deleted the wrong VM and made a new server I just set up vanish into thin air. More recently, when migrating a VM to a different storage pool, the MAC address on the server was regenerated; this caused some hardware-locked software to cease functioning.
I wish I had A: Double-checked before deleting the VM, and B: noted the MAC addresses prior to migration.
Oct 31, 2011 at 10:22 UTC
Ended up having to rebuild an ESXi 4.1 host. Fortunately, we were able to migrate everything away from it before hand.
Enter issue could have been avoided had the former VMware Administrator bothered to leave the console password behind. Eventually I found where he'd buried it so I didn't have to worry about the other machines.
How to avoid it, always mind meld with the person you're replacing or at least make sure the password is a lot easier to find.
Nov 1, 2011 at 2:11 UTC
A few choice ones come to mind,not irrecoverable but took a bit of work to sort ( I class them as disaster because if the fixes didn't work my ass would have been toasted )
1) Hypervisor upgrade corrupted config files,had to restore VM backups
2) Attempt to acquiesce VM storage after clearing some snapshots resulted in corrupted VM,restored backup
3) Backup services failed to start and the remote monitor tool also didn't fire off notifications. Power failure caused SQL database to enter recovery loop. Fortunately I had a scripted SQL backup job to drive too

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing
Meeting sharing laughing travelling all ways to shae in the frame work we call Couch Surfing. I live in a rural area in Washington State so not many folks make the trek there for a couch.
I travel a bit for work and offer my "Couch" on those occasions, I have met many good people and shared many joyful times. A friend in Japan said to me "you meet someone Couch Surfing, but you leave a friend The idea is beautiful, though for me it is not about t he "Couch" it is about the people.
Couch surfing is not about the "couch" it is about the people, to share ones home and space and one's heart…to learn from a new friend from their sharing. Couch surfing is a way to gently remove the façade of our culture and see each other as people with much more in common than the differences.
