Renting now a 'lifestyle choice'
Renting property in Belfast has become a "lifestyle choice" with prices in the city remaining strong, according to an online lettings company.
Citylets said private landlords drew an average £590 a month for the year to end of September - little changed on the same period a year ago.
Their latest quarterly report said rent for two-bedroom houses rose by 1.5% to £451 a month in the year to the end of September.
Citylets analyst Dan Cookson said a lack of affordable mortgages and a flagging local property market continue to prop up rent prices in the city.
"The property market in Northern Ireland has experienced unprecedented highs and lows in only a few years, but the rental sector, which hasn't been immune to some price volatility, has put in a much steadier performance," he said.
"Certainly, in Belfast, as in many parts of the UK and Ireland, renting is no longer a temporary solution for one particular generation.
"Renting has become a lifestyle choice."

Now Dungeon Keeper is embroiled in a Google Play store rating row
Recent smartphone re-release Dungeon keeper has already faced criticism over its IAPs and now the game is being slated for trying to play the ratings system.
As spotted by Gamasutra, users of the Android version are prompted to leave a rating for the game on the Google Play store. The pop-up offers two options – 5 Stars and 1-4 Stars.
Pressing on the 5 Star button takes you to the storefront to leave feedback. Pressing on the 1-4 Star button, however, offers up a feedback form through which gamers can contact the developer.
It's entirely possible to hit the 5 Star link but leave a lower rating, of course, but it's hard to argue that a level of deceit has not been employed.
We're always looking at new ways to gather player feedback so that we can continue to improve our games," an EA Mobile rep told Eurogamer. The 'rate this app' feature in the Google Play version of Dungeon Keeper was designed to help us collect valuable feedback from players who don't feel the game is worth a top rating.
We wanted to make it easier for more players to send us feedback directly from the game if they weren't having the best experience. Players can always continue to leave any rating they want on the Google Play Store."

Greensburg Work on a new Greensburg City Hall sign has been under way for a couple of weeks, but a lot of the final pieces came together Thursday.
First came the LED light bars, which arrived when Curtis Shaddox, president of Kansas City-based Sunpower Sign, unwrapped the bars while Brian Eliot, manager of The Sign House in south Salina, grabbed a 12-volt power pack from a cordless tool and touched the leads on the light bar to the contacts to make sure it worked.
Then, the permanent power source arrived when Sunpower Executive Vice President Troy Haefner arrived from Minnesota, carrying a roll of flexible solar film wrapped around each arm.
Like much of the rest of rebuilt Greensburg, the new city hall sign packs some serious environmentally friendly tech; the LED lights will use a small fraction of the power a bank of fluorescent tubes would, and the solar film will power it.
The Sign House has been using LED lighting on some signs for about five years now, Eliot said, "But this is our first experience with solar power. It's very new for the industry and definitely for this area."
The sign was scheduled to be delivered to Greensburg on Friday, though it won't be permanently installed until warmer weather, when the concrete base can be poured.
The design calls for a bank of LEDs at the top and bottom of the sign, illuminating the lettering and pushing light through a frosted acrylic layer near the top, causing a "glowing halo" effect, Eliot said.
Shaddox said the LEDs will have a 15-year lifespan, as opposed to maybe five years for a fluorescent tube — and there's no ballast to go bad.
Eliot said solar-powered signs will likely become an important part of his company's business, and he and his employees are having fun learning about the new technology.
The flexible solar panels are also a relatively new technology and are starting to replace older designs, which are heavier, bulkier and more fragile.
And, Shaddox said, the thin film will generate power in almost any light.
"You don't need full sun, and it doesn't have to be tilted at 30 degrees south to get the right angle," he said, explaining those benefits allow for more design possibilities. "Instead of this big panel standing there, we can just apply it to the top of the sign."
Flexible solar film has been in use by NASA and the military for several years, but as more companies start producing it, the price is dropping to where it's cost-effective in situations where that's an important consideration.
"The cost per kilowatt is dropping every week," Shaddox said.
It will also generate power even in very low-light conditions, such as light from the moon or a nearby streetlamp.
The adhesive-backed solar film has about a 25-year lifespan, Shaddox said, and is much more resistant to damage than more-traditional photovoltaic panels.
It's really a combination of advances in solar-power and LED technology that makes such signs possible, Shaddox said; it wouldn't be practical to try to power a fluorescent-tube sign with solar.
"You could do it, but it would only last a couple of hours," he said. "It's the low power usage of the LEDs that makes it possible."

The end of WoW? When will people realise it, NO game will be the end of WoW.
I remember when Warhammer Online came out, WoW haters were screaming about 3-4 millions of cancalled WoW subscriptions because people were going to play Warhammer, and what happened? The WoW playerbase has only grown by 3-4 millions since then.
DC Universe may be a great game, but i highly doubt that the developers and the distributors want to spend the ammounts of money it would take to get even close to WoWs commercial status and playerbase.

Strong prospects for automotive in China, Thailand and the U.S. have prompted Japanese materials supplier Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation (Tokyo) to expand capacities for PVC compound, olefin thermoplastic elastomer (TPO) and adhesive polymer at locations in North America and Asia.
The company currently supplies PVC compounds for automobile interior and exterior parts and for electric cable & wire to Thailand and neighboring countries through its subsidiary Sunprene (Thailand) Co. (Samutsakhon). Demand for automobiles in Thailand and neighboring countries has continued to increase in recent years, and is expected to increase further in the future. In response to this growing demand, Mitsubishi Chemical will expand the PVC compound production facility at the Amata Nakorn Plant of Sunprene (Thailand) by 4000 tonnes/year with production start-up scheduled for April 2012. Current production capacity stands at 15,000 tonnes/year....

P.K. Subban unaffected by racial abuse, Canadiens coach says
The Canadian Press
Published Saturday, May 3, 2014 11:24AM EDT
Last Updated Saturday, May 3, 2014 1:42PM EDT
BOSTON -- Canadiens coach Michel Therrien says defenceman P.K. Subban has not been affected by the racial abuse on social media after his winning goal against the Bruins on Thursday night.
"He's got a lot of character, that kid," Therrien said Saturday prior to Game 2 against the Bruins.
Therrien met with Subban, who is black, on Friday night to see how he was feeling and to ensure his player knew he had the team's support.
"But like he said, and from my standpoint too, it's more important that we're here to sell the game, we're here to win a hockey game, we're here to compete," Therrien told reporters. "We're not here to talk about a few bad people that put some comments on the Internet."
Therrien said Subban, 24, spent part of Friday with his family.
Both the Bruins and Canadiens have decried the racial abuse. So have the mayors of the two cities. Commissioner Gary Bettman also weighed in when asked about it before Saturday's game.
"I fully endorse and support the comment that (Boston president) Cam Neely and the Bruins issued," he said. "We are about diversity and inclusiveness. We condemn bias and hatred. It has no place in our game and it's not acceptable."
Subban, as he was in Game 1, was booed every time whenever he had the puck.

5 ways to share your love tomorrow
Not everyone celebrates Valentine's Day, and I can say that I'm an on again off again V-Day person.
One year I'll feel really into doing something special, and the next time I completely forget about it.
In any case, it's a great reminder to do or say something to those you love in your life.
Here are some ideas on what you can do tomorrow or any other day.
- Tell the people you care about that you love them. Really say the phrase and don't assume they know how you feel.
- Make a nice meal for the special people in your life.
- If you are single and don't really feel like there is someone special you can connect with, use this day as a time to reflect on who are the people that love you in your life and have always been there for you. Take them out for dinner or invite them over.
- Do something for someone less fortunate.
- And don't forget you have to love yourself too! Buy yourself a box of chocolates and enjoy them all to yourself!
What do you usually do for Valentine's Day? And if you don't celebrate it, what are your special days with your loved ones?

I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I'm having a really hard time finding it.
Basically, I want a central database where I can keep blog posts and pictures from all the places I've travelled. I would like these to be separated into different pages, so I can have a Paris page, a Peru page, etc., and on each page have separate posts and pictures.
I gather that pages are not meant for posts but for static, unchanging descriptions. Is there, then, any way to separate out the topics that I want in different posts over time, without having them all in a chronological single mess?
Thanks for any help.
The blog I need help with is shannonmontgomery.wordpress.com.

Protected Area Overview
|Managed by
|Saba Conservation Foundation
|35 ha. (86 ac.)
The Saba National Park, established in 1999, is located on the northern side of Saba and covers an area of 35 hectares (0.35 km2). The park stretches from Great Hole on the northeastern shoreline and the dramatically steep shoreline Pirate Cliffs in the northwest up to the tropical cloud forest at the peak of Mount Scenery, with its 877 metres, the highest mountain in the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Additionally, the park manages 16 historic hiking trails around the island. Every vegetation zone present on the island can be found along the Sandy Cruz hiking trail, which meanders through the park and cloud forest.
The Saba National Park preserves some of Saba's most important biological, geological and historical areas. It encompasses all vegetation zones present on Saba, from biologically diverse cloud forest to arid coastal vegetation. Saba's cloud forest covers an area of approximately 8 hectares and is a regional rarity. It is also exceptional since its canopy reaches up to 15 metres (50 feet) in height, more than double the usual height of cloud forest found elsewhere in the Caribbean. The Mountain mahogany (Freziera undulata), one of the dominant trees in this habitat, grows much bigger on Saba than on other islands. Sub-montagne rainforest borders the cloud forest between 775-825 metres (2,500-2,700 feet) and is one of the few original types of woodland found on Saba. The Saba National Park also includes hot springs, stunning geological features such as the Behind the Ridge formation, and the island's former sulphur mine.
The park provides a safe habitat for a number of species with a limited geographical distribution such as the endemic Saban Anole (Anolis sabanus) and the non-poisonous Red-bellied Racer (Alsophis rufiventris) snake. The park's steep cliffs, which are mostly barren slope, are important roosting and nesting sites for seabirds, notably the Red-billed Tropicbird (Phaethon aethereus) and the Audubon's Shearwater (Puffinus lherminieri).
The Saba National Park and the 16 hiking trails around the island offer some of the best hiking in the Caribbean, with views of neighboring St. Eustatius and other islands from the top of Mt. Scenery.The Saba Conservation Foundation's Trail Manager, James Johnson, takes groups on guided hikes. Birders will also be delighted as Saba's diverse vegetative zones provide habitat for a wide variety of land birds, including doves, pigeons, thrashers, hummingbirds, Red-tailed Hawks (Buteo jamaicensis) and Bananaquits (Coereba flaveola).
Park Management Organisation: Saba Conservation Foundation
The Saba Conservation Foundation (SCF) is a non-governmental organisation established in 1987 to preserve and manage Saba's natural and cultural heritage. The SCF promotes the development of parks and protected areas, manages a network of hiking trails, encourages the preservation of historic buildings, and promotes supportive scientific research and education.
SCF's mission is to contribute to the sustainable development of Saba through the preservation and sensible use of the island's natural and cultural resources. To achieve this mission, the organisation aims to achieve the following goals:
- To preserve and manage the natural environment of Saba both on land and in the sea.
- To ensure that areas that are exceptionally scenic, host endemic species of plants and animals, or have unique geological, cultural and historical values are preserved and managed for present and future generations.
- To maximize the economic, educational, recreational and scientific potential of natural, cultural and geological areas to the benefit of the people of Saba and those who visit, in so far as this does not conflict with the objectives of conservation.
- To preserve buildings, monuments and sites of historic, archaeological and cultural significance on Saba.

Deepika Padukone to skip 'Bajirao Mastani' shoot for two days
Deepika Padukone has taken two days off from 'Bajirao Mastani' shoot to promote her latest outing 'Piku'
After winning accolades for her performance in her latest release, Piku, Deepika Padukone seems to be pulling out all stops to promote the film. The actress has asked Sanjay Leela Bhansali for a two-day break from the shoot of 'Bajirao Mastani' to take part in the post-release promotions of the Shoojit Sircar movie.
Deepika Padukone
The word-of-mouth publicity for 'Piku' is quite positive and the film's marketing team has requested her for some extra time to promote it, says a source close to the actress. She will complete her promotion commitments today and tomorrow.
All this while, Dippy had been juggling the two projects — shooting for 'Bajirao Mastani' at night and promoting 'Piku' during the day.
"Deepika is buoyed by the appreciation the film and her performance has received. So, she wants to publicise it as much as possible and has requested Bhansali to allow her to miss two days of shoot," adds a source.
Deepika's spokesperson confirms the news, saying: "She made a special request to Sanjay sir and he got her dates reworked so that she can promote the film ('Piku')."

Shadowy "modesty squads" police ultra-Orthodox Brooklyn
In ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities across New York state, women wear long skirts and long-sleeved, high-necked blouses on the street; men wear suits and white collar shirts, buttoned to the neck; and girls are told the precise color and thickness of the stockings they can wear to school.
And these aren't just recommendations -- community modesty codes are strictly enforced. Not just by social custom, but by a self-appointed, shadowy group of men that police a predominantly Hasidic neighborhood in North Brooklyn, according to a report in the New York Times.
"They operate like the Mafia," Rabbi Allan Nadler, director of the Jewish studies program at Drew University, told the Times. "They walk into a store and say it would be a shame if your window was broken or you lost your clientele," he said. "They might tell the father of a girl who wears a skirt that's too short and he's, say, a store owner: 'If you ever want to sell a pair of shoes, speak to your daughter.' "

Is anyone else having a dragging your heels kind of week? It's taking me ages to get the simplest tasks done – I blame this amazing weather. I spent way too much time on the internet this week, here are a few of my favorite gems:
1. Dabito's blog, Old Brand New, is one of my favorite new to me blogs as he has impecable taste that's refreshingly accessible and not so obnoxiously aspirational like so many home blogs can feel to me. His home tour on Apartment Therapy is so great and I'm super jealous of his thrifting skills. Teach me everything you know, Dabito?
2. Beautiful, crazy in the best way possible patterns by Catalina Estrada for Anunciaçao. This embroidered dress is my favorite.
3. Speaking of dresses, check out Lissa's super awesome dark side of the moon dress.
4. A fantastic article about Fiona Apple's comeback by Lindsay Zoladz. You may know I've been an obsessive fan since I was 14 years old, so this struck so many chords. Somewhere in a box is my Tidal CD booklet with all the words I didn't know underlined, which I looked up in the dictionary.
Have a great weekend, everyone! Super excited to check out the Cai Guo-Qiang show at the Geffen, eat ramen (absolutely required when in Little Tokyo), make Rena teach me all her secrets, and anyone in LA MUST COME to Brian Ferry's opening at Standard Goods on Saturday night – ok? It's going to be great, I know it.

I have been a resident of the United States for almost 8 years now and even had the chance to visit the country when I was just a child with my parents. The most amazing aspect of this country, for me at least, was its spectacular National Parks. In my humble opinion they are one of the best gifts this young country has given the world. They thought the world about conservation of beautiful, majestic natural wonders for the future generations to enjoy.
My fascination with the National Parks started with an old brochure my dad bought from one of his trips when I believe I was around 11 or 12. The park feature in that document was the Grand Canyon, it had details about the geology and comparisons about its depth to various metro skylines. I think the amazing bright colors of the soil stayed with me all these years. It's pretty safe to say that the brochure made one hell of an impression on me.
Finally after waiting for almost 20 years, I visited the Grand Canyon during the Thanksgiving holidays of Nov 2013. We reached the canyon on Thursday early morning and visited most of the popular sights on the Thanksgiving Day. On Friday was when the real fun started, we headed over by the park shuttle to Yaki point in hope of getting a nice sunrise shot. What we witnessed there was nothing short of mind-blowing, we could see the canyon and really fast moving clouds filling the canyon while on the rim it was a perfectly sunny beautiful day.
Everyone at the location thought this was pretty normal for late Autumn at the canyon but the rangers told us that we were witnessing a once in a life term phenomenon called a Perfect Inversion. It was actually quiet fun shooting in such rare magical conditions and here are the results I got from shooting the event. I am so thankful that I got to witness such an Epic event and that the Grand Canyon didn't disappoint that star crossed boy of 12.
Thanks for visiting. Do let me know of your thoughts in the comments..

I wouldn't be a political science major, that's for sure!
A recent article written by Associated Press reporter Nasser Karimi explains that Iran has imposed new restrictions on twelve university social sciences deemed to be based on Western schools of thought. Thus, they are incompatible with Islamic Fundamentalist teachings.
Out of the 3.5 million students enrolled in Iranian Universities, some two million are studying social sciences and humanities.
Last time I checked, that was a lot of students.
The list of soon to be prohibited subjects includes law, philosophy, management, psychology, political science, women's studies and of course, human rights.
Seems a little sketchy don't you think?
There's a section dedicated completely to free thinking and understanding of politics, government and the human mind and this is the only place where they're cutting back? What are they trying to hide?
Please check out the full story HERE and tell me what you think.
I, personally, am outraged!!!
How does this make you feel?

William G. Large, Division Director and Senior Scientist
Some present research activities are summarized below. The research interest that underlies my research is the physics of the upper ocean and feedbacks with the atmosphere. Of particular interest are low frequency, large scale phenomena, and the role of the upper ocean as a conduit between the interior ocean and the atmosphere. Therefore, upper ocean models for global climate modeling studies are a particular focus. I am involved in small scale experiments, both observational and numerical (LES), that are designed to determine important upper ocean processes, and the signatures of these processes, so that their large scale significance can be assessed and modeled. The atmosphere-ocean forcing functions are a very important aspect of the problem, and I continue to try to improve our knowledge of them.
Ocean and Sea-Ice Modeling for Coupled Climate Models
Major products are state of the art ocean and sea-ice model components for the NCAR Community Climate System Model (CCSM). These components are being tested extensively and exercised in studies of the global ocean and of the impacts of sea-ice and atmospheric boundary conditions. There is currently a concerted effort to force a coupled ocean, sea-ice system in as similar a manner as practical to when coupled to an atmospheric model. Growing activities are the assessment of component performance within a coupled CCSM integration, as well as analysis of the coupled model output. Objectives are to investigate the interaction of the atmosphere and ocean in decadal climate fluctuations and to identify possible sources of climate drift in coupled models.
Forcing Numerical Models
The goal here is to specify the frequency and wavenumber content of forcing functions required to force numerical ocean models. One task is to quantify the ocean model response to high wavenumber (25-500 km) winds. Since important responses have been found, a means of obtaining the needed high wavenumber information at the required frequency from satellite scatterometer measurements was developed. The product is an annual cycle (August 1996 through July 1997) of global scatterometer based winds. The resolution is one-half degree in both the zonal and meridional directions and every six hours in time.

I don't really know if that has been fixed, but since it wouldn't make sense to be updating your source tree while building in the upper layer, it's not much of a limitation.

Arizona is gearing up for the once-a-decade job of drawing new political boundaries for the state.
The Arizona version of redistricting, as the drawing of new maps of congressional and legislative districts is called, involves blowing up current districts and starting from scratch, says the Independent Redistricting Commission's former chairman.
The work has high stakes if the tug-of-war over the maps drawn in 2001 is any measure.
Local government officials lobbied the commission to draw district boundaries that split – or didn't divide – their communities. Native American tribes made conflicting requests on whether to put reservations in the same district. And Democrats fought a yearslong and ultimately unsuccessful court fight to force the commission to redraw the legislative map to draw additional districts winnable by both parties.
But first, the state has to chose the five new commissioners who will draw the new districts.
A judicial nominating commission on Tuesday decided to interview 40 of 77 applicants for seats on the redistricting commission. The applicants included a Northern Arizona University accounting professor, a former state Transportation Board chairman, a former campaign finance regulator and a woman who sells gift baskets.
The names of 25 applicants will go to Republican and Democratic leaders of the state House and Senate, and each leader will appoint one redistricting commission member. The four appointees then will pick the fifth member from among applicants who aren't Democrats or Republicans.
It's a volunteer job, with a time commitment that seemed endless because of public hearings across the state and years of legal proceedings, said Steve Lynn, a Tucson utility executive who served as the commission's chairman during the past decade.
"I remember distinctly it was the end of my life as I knew it," Lynn said of the day in February 2001 that he was chosen chairman.
Arizona voters approved a 2000 constitutional amendment that created the redistricting commission and took redistricting out of the hands of the Legislature. The state is among 20 states that have commissions for primary, backup or advisory redistricting roles, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
The commission's work begins in earnest when federal officials release detailed data from the 2010 U.S. Census.
Arizona is expected to pick up a 9th U.S. House seat due to population growth, and a redistricting consulting firm reported in October that uneven population growth within the state means Maricopa and Pinal counties are poised to gain additional congressional and legislative representation at the expense of the other 13 counties.
A state's congressional districts must have equal populations and its legislative districts must be close in population. Other criteria set by Arizona's redistricting law include protecting ethnic and racial minorities' voting rights, respecting "communities of interest" and following geographic features and local government boundaries. Also, competitive districts are supposed to be favored when it doesn't significantly hurt achievement of the other criteria. Also, incumbents' and candidates' residences can't be considered.
"The law is very clear that we blow up the (current) map completely," Lynn said.
The requirement for competitive districts resulted in legal challenges that ended with a May 2009 Arizona Supreme Court ruling that upheld the legislative map. That case first went to court in 2002.
It was difficult to create competitive districts because there are more Republicans than Democrats and because the commission had to concentrate Democrats in some districts to protect minorities' voting rights, Lynn said.
Lynn urged the nominating commission to try to tailor its nomination list to avoid having three commissioners come from Maricopa County, which is home to six out of 10 Arizonans.
"My concern is that the Great State of Maricopa is going to control the commission, the commission is going to start with two of the three strikes against it, particularly in the out-counties," he said.
The initial commission had two members from Maricopa County, two from Pima County and one from rural Apache County.

There's only one thing that's better than an old movie at The Palace, and that is an old movie sing-a-long. Last time I went to one my daughters and I attended the Sound of Music celebre which was also hosted by the original Leisl of "I am Sixteen," fame. There were so many men dressed as nuns, you'd have thought it was Halloween at the gay bar, and almost just as fun.
But tonight, my friends, Grease is the word. If you can watch John Travolta moving his gymnastically limber hips and singing, "Stranded at the Drive In," without a grin on your face, well then, I just don't know what.
The movie starts at 7:00 pm. For more info, click here.

New book out! Tehani at Fablecroft is releasing a couple of e-volumes of my collected essays from this very blog. First up is 50 Roman Mistresses, based on a fun retelling of history I did first for Women's History Month some years ago, and then more recently when I did a "Rock the Romanpunk" blog carnival in honour of my Love and Romanpunk collection.
50 Roman Mistresses is not a history book so much as me telling you a bedtime story based loosely on my PhD thesis – on Good Girls and Wicked Women of Roman history, on the use of the title Augusta, on coins and statues and sex scandals and Vestal Virgins.
Here are fifty extraordinary women of Ancient Rome—virtuous wives and adulterous vixens, abductees and viragos, imperial mothers and mortals who became goddesses, all taking their place in history.
Reworked for publication, this is a novella-length work of pure historical snark that pretty much shows you what it's like inside my head.

Samsung has easily commanded the market share that Google's Android flourishes in, but it's just a matter of time until Android could be an afterthought of the Korean company. Power is all Samsung has derived from the Galaxy S line of smartphones thanks to an array of features, including TouchWiz built atop Google's Android. And the launch of Samsung's Galaxy S IV is exciting for all parties involved. Sales will ensue. At least for right now, Google and Samsung have a myopic relationship - when Samsung wins, Google gets more devices in the wild spreading their services. Like a flower in Spring, Android is pollinating the mobile market, and using Samsung as the breeze for delivery.
But which direction is the wind coming from? In other words, Google and Samsung might be working harmoniously for the time being, but it's not out of the ordinary to question which company has more influence over Android's future.
So, what happens if Google questions Samsung's stance? Has Android been diluted to simply mean Samsung, or even worse, TouchWiz? Imagine Google's driverless car going awry, and that's what Android would be like without Samsung.
If you're Samsung, you're thankful you have an operating system to build your skin TouchWiz upon. Your end product is completely optimized to take full advantage of the Android source code. To top it off, you get to add minute "features" atop TouchWiz (that user interface some people call Android). You're quite literally backed by a google of developers to update your plethora of devices, which is why you update your devices as frequently as you do. You've got the support of the largest open source mobile operating system in the mobile market, and thanks to them, you're chipping away at your number one hardware competitor - the Apple iPhone. Life is good, and extremely biased, towards Google...if you're Samsung.
And if you're Google, almost your entire Android success story is inked in Korean characters. Why bother translating, when there are so many zero's after that dollar sign? No matter the consensus or reception of the next galactic offering, Google will continue to deliver their services to millions of users courtesy of Samsung's Galaxy S IV, and the rest of the Galaxy line. Sales have become an afterthought to Samsung, much like Apple knows the iPhone will sell. Naturally, Google and Samsung were meant to be the antithesis to whatever Apple's iPhone offers, but who controls the offensive? There is an indisputable amount of brand loyalty tied with Samsung's Galaxy brand which makes Samsung the best distributor of Android powered devices, right?
They're two peas in a pod. Spaghetti and meatballs. Peaches and cream. Lemons and pancakes. Chopsticks and rice. The two have the globe covered in their prowess.
Some would say that Google's acquisition of Motorola's Mobility sector will help the Mountain View company leverage their resources by controlling the distributor. We've seen a recent Motorola-Google device leak, and the influence Google has had since the acquisition is clear. The problem is, Google isn't just restarting the old dog in Motorola; they're restarting themselves, too. Motorola is not the name of the game, and while I don't doubt that they can turn Motorola into a competitor, Google's own Nexus brand is further than an afterthought - it's completely forgotten when Samsung's devices are in town.
What Google has done with Android, primarily because of Samsung, is astounding. Google has developed Android into the silver platter of their services, all the while pitching the necessity of connectivity, user experience, and control. It's clear that Google is riding on the quality in delivery of its services with Android, which can primarily be attributed to Samsung's smartphones.
HTC, LG, and Motorola have also played a hand in Google's goal of getting more Android devices into the wild, but it has only been in vain. The general consensus surrounding Samsing is that no one can catch them on two battlegrounds: brand recognition and sales. Only one other device has managed to gather this much momentum with a brand and product, and that is the iPhone. What shortly followed was an avalanche of activity surrounding what was next for the Cupertino company, and when it would be released. If Google wants to drive the Android offensive, they'll need more fire power than the current crop of Nexus devices. How much longer can the people of Mountain View watch as the dog wags the tail on it's own accord? From what, can Google confidently suggest that their plan in the mobile space is derived from, other than Samsung's success?
Samsung has the market cornered with Android, and Google hangs in the balance. Google has managed to concoct its own premium brand with Google Nexus devices, but to say they have struggled with sales would be understated. Google has seen minute success from its line of Nexus devices due to aggressive pricing and developer support. We've watched as the Nexus 4, Nexus 7, and Nexus 10, each made by a different manufacturer, seldom sold. You could pinpoint it down to a lack of distribution and poor management of Google's Play Store, or even point the finger at suppliers (I'm looking at you, LG). Yet, it doesn't matter what the real reason was. They're not making enough ground required to obtain the brand awareness and brand loyalty that Samsung has amassed with the Galaxy S line of devices. It's threatening to Google's own Nexus brand. It's threatening to other manufacturers like Apple, HTC, and LG. And the worst part about it is that it's about to get much, much harder for anyone to gain attention with the announcement of the Galaxy S IV. The Galaxy S series has become the face of Android, and the antithesis to iOS.
While sales of Nexus devices have struggled to make a dent in the mobile and tablet marketplaces, Samsung has completely walked away with the Android trophy and the Galaxy line.
The Samsung Galaxy S IV will be Google's best chance to secure domination of the mobile operating system market for the indefinite future. Analysts predict sales figures of 10 million in the first month - impressive, to say the least. And Google will just sit back and watch as its search services and app portfolio rake in forecasted revenues to the detriment of their own Nexus brand. Hakuna matata.
What do you think the ascendancy of Samsung means for Google? Does Google have any control of the success of Android, or does it all ride with the next best thing from Samsung? As always, your comments are appreciated.

|Am I a local?
I have lived in Tampa for four years, I am not sure if that makes me a local but I will attempt to impart a bit of the information which echoes some of the above. For clarification Tampa refers to the city of Tampa, Tampa Bay (includes St. Petersburg (Called "The Burg" in the Bay area), Clearwater, Sarasota, etc) refers to the metro area which is huge. All of the below is just my opinion:
1) A lot of the recommendations above say to stay in St. Pete. That area tends to have more/nicer hotels. The beach will be cold. Not too cold to go to being from the Midwest but the water will be too cold to go much further than your leg deep. I had some friends from Ohio visit me in January and we went to the beach. Had some issues with Red tide. The view will still be great and you will be able to experience some good beaches/bars within waling distance. Tampa does have a lot of hotels but they tend to be spread out and what area to stay in can vary depending on what you wish to do in town. There are Hotels in Ybor City and near Busch Gardens (the ones nearest to the Park seem a bit more sketchy). Near USF (South Florida) campus there some nicer ones if Busch Gardens is your aim.
1a) Beaches - Tampa Bay has an abundance of beaches (almost all of them are white sand so it will be soft sand that sticks to you). The well known ones are Clearwater, St. Pete and Ft. Desoto. Most of the tourists head to Clearwater since it it the most well known. Locals tend to frequent St. Pete and Ft. Desoto. I also like the Treasure Island area since they do a Sunday night Drum Circle (which is exactly what it sounds like). Cabby's is a Beach front bar/restaurant which is in the Treasure Island area and has Cabanas to rent. It is in a smaller area but I always like the vibe.
2) Food - Tampa does have a good assortment of food options. Ybor City used to have an extremely high Cuban population so there are many arguments as to the best Cuban Sandwich in town (my vote is La Caridad Bakery) . As the above people have mentioned Taco Bus (the original location on Hillsborough and Nebraska), Columbia Restaurant (located in Ybor City) and Leroy Selmon's are all well known. My personal favorite is a Cajun restaurant in the St. Pete area. Cajun Cafe on the Bayou is amazing Cajun food. If you attended the game in New Orleans last year you can compare the two but I think it holds up well against New Orleans Cajun. They also have a great Craft Brew Section.
3) New Years Eve - As many have mentioned the Channelside area is in a decline with many of the well known places leaving. There is an Aquarium in the area which will be hosting a new years but that will be $90 a ticket. Ybor City will have many Bars and Clubs for people to be in through the night (hotels near by if you want to avoid expensive cab rides). The Hyde Park and South Howard (SoHo) area would be my recommendation. Many places to go within walking distance and places like MacDinton's are well known.
4) Transportation - There is no public transportation system in Tampa except cities buses and their routes/times are not desirable. Plan to stay near where you are celebrating New Years or plan on taking a cab ride. Cost of cabs is not too bad but since Tampa Bay is large celebrating in one location and then having to cab it to your hotel would be very expensive.
5) Tailgating/Parking - Like many have mentioned there is a grass lot to the north of the Stadium where most people tailgate. You can pay to park and then just walk into the stadium. Parking will most likely be $15-$20 on the day of the game. Most of the residential streets near the stadium will have people selling pakring in their yard for cheaper. This, like most things, will become what do you want to pay/how far do you want to walk.
6) Final Thoughts - Tampa Bay is a large area and offers a lot of things to do. The area is thought of as "sleepy" since it is so spread out and it can take a while to find areas you enjoy or your niche. There are many "Boroughs" that make it so that you have to find downtowns in each of them to find things to do. The Strip Clubs can be nice but are often smaller than the ones you find in the mid-west. My favorite is 2001, but most people recommend Mons Venus.
Enjoy Tampa and Go Blue!

Have not booked my flight yet. But...
Tickets - 2x $175
Hotel - $89 per night for three nights (staying in the Market Center per a tip on a previous topic).
Rental Car - $111
That is $728 for two without the flight costs which I would expect to be $250 a piece. Right now I am planning on getting into Dallas on Thursday and staying until Sunday but depending on flights that could easily become Friday-Sunday.
Love Field is cheaper to fly into/rent cars from than DFW.....

|They said that he was great
They said that he was great with his left hand. They asked how it got good with the left and he said hours of practice, that he thought it was a weakness so he improved. They asked about how he switched it up and didn't use the pick and roll and he said they had talked about it in the huddle, he had become predictable so he faked it and was surprised how open he was.
He talked about the senior leadership of zack and stu. They kept the team up in the huddle. And he said he was tired. He gave a great interview.

I thought he did a faily good job. I assumed the Michigan and Illinois announcers were meant to provide different points of view. My favorite quote:

First things first, I like to have fun with people and what I do. I am a personal business coach. Yes, I have received training and been coaching since 1983. I have gone through and continue to happily go through more personal development.
But, that doesn't really tell you much. First and foremost I am an entrepreneur. For over the last 30 years I have I have been and still am on the front lines of small business. I love it. I have struggled. That means very little cash flow and wondering when and if the bills are going to get paid.
I have thrived. These are times of great cash flow. I have met payrolls. I've had to create systems for my businesses to grow. I have hired people and fired people. I have faced indecision on how to market and advertise my business. What works? What doesn't? I've had to plan for the future, one year, five years and ten years out.
Yes, I have been through all those things that can make you stomach churn and keep you up late at night. Here's the best part. Most of what I have created has given me greater freedom and abundance. What does that mean?
As I earn more money I spend less time working to receive it. Now that's an interesting concept and foreign to many people. I spend less time working in my business because I am now working on my business. And when I work on my business I have more time to pursue and enjoy that thing we can miss called life.
If that sounds good to you then join me. My wish is for you to share your views and comments. I will be sharing my thoughts and real life experiences. Just as iron sharpens iron, we will be learning together. The goal is to have your business and life become the reality of the greater freedom and abundance you desire.
I look forward to supporting you and getting to know you.

A 21-16 loss wasn't the result Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll wanted, but ultimately Thursday's preseason game was the first chance for Carroll and his staff to get a good look at his new players in a full-speed game.
We identified six who stood out to us during the loss to the Broncos at Denver's Sports Authority Field — a game that was delayed 45 minutes by lightning. Take a look through the gallery above for our thoughts, and vote for who you though stood out most in the poll below.

What is the HERS Index?
The Home Energy Rating System (HERS) Index is the INDUSTRY STANDARD by which a home's energy efficiency is measured. It's also the NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED system for inspecting and calculating a home's energy performance.
The Building Performance Institute is the nation's premier credentialing, quality assurance and standards setting organization for home performance professionals. Since 1993, BPI has been setting technical standards for home energy auditing and energy efficiency upgrades. We develop BPI Standards using an open, consensus-based process built on sound building science. From these standards, we develop rigorous written and field exams leading to professional certifications for individuals, companywide credentials for BPI GoldStar Contractors and quality assurance services that help raise the bar in home performance contracting.
BPI certified professionals hold over 20,000 active certifications across the nation and in three foreign countries. More than 110 state, local and utility energy efficiency programs specify BPI credentials for participating contractors, to ensure quality.
How BPI helps homeowners
For many homeowners and tenants, energy bills account for far too much of the monthly budget. These homes suffer from performance problems ranging from inflated energy consumption to poor thermal comfort to indoor air quality problems. These are problems that regular contractors or even the best DIY homeowner cannot solve.
BPI GoldStar Contractors conduct a comprehensive energy audit to find problems, then prescribe and prioritize improvements that make your home's system function at its best. Our goal is to help improve the comfort, health, safety, durability and energy efficiency of America's existing homes.

We offer an extensive network of web based support that streamlines our ability to answer questions and concerns that you may have. Click HERE for more information or to fill out the applicant form.
What does a HERS Rating say about a house?
The HERS Index MEASURES A HOME'S ENERGY EFFICIENCY and there are a lot of great reasons to have a home energy assessment performed on your house.
It can tell you so much about the home you live in, like how efficiently it's operating and where you can make modifications for greater energy savings. When you're selling your home, a low HERS rating can command a higher resale price. And when you're buying a home you can anticipate the costs of energy bills and efficiency upgrades.
How does the HERS Index work?
- A certified Home Energy Rater assesses the energy efficiency of a home, assigning it a relative performance score. The lower the number, the more energy efficient the home.
- The U.S. Department of Energy has determined that a typical resale home scores 130 on the HERS Index while a standard new home is awarded a rating of 100.
- A home with a HERS Index Score of 70 is 30% more energy efficient than a standard new home
- A home with a HERS Index Score of 130 is 30% less energy efficient than a standard new home
We are in the business of building trust. In the world of home improvement contracting, you hear a lot of misleading or downright false claims. You can rest easy when you hire a contractor that has earned the BPI GoldStar credential, the highest standard of quality and customer service in the industry. They're not out to sell you a product. Instead they diagnose your home's issues using sound building science, and prescribe solutions tailored to the unique needs of your home and your budget.
All BPI GoldStar Contractors commit to employing BPI certified professionals and doing work according to BPI Standards. BPI certified professionals have passed BPI's rigorous written and in-field practical exams that verify their knowledge and skills in building science solutions. They know how to improve energy efficiency while providing important safety functions such as mold prevention, carbon monoxide testing, and combustion appliance safety checks. They also have the know-how to help prepare your home for solar, geothermal, or other types of energy upgrades.

New Delhi: Reliance Capital has reported a consolidated net profit of Rs.207 crore in first quarter ended 30 June. Its net profit stood at Rs.201 crore in the year-ago period. June quarter's data, the company said, include figures of Reliance Nippon Life Insurance (formerly Reliance Life Insurance Company) which became a subsidiary of the firm with effect from 30 March.
Hence, the figures for the quarter are not comparable with the corresponding quarter ended June 2015 and sequential quarter ended March 2016, it said in a regulatory filing.
"Total income is Rs.3,663 crore for the quarter ended June 2016, where as the same was at Rs.2,470 crore during the same quarter a year ago," Reliance Capital said.
On stand-alone basis, there was a 22% rise in net profit at Rs.213 crore in June quarter of 2016-17, against Rs.175 crore year ago.
Total stand-alone income increased to Rs.1,007 crore for quarter from Rs.946 crore for same quarter year ago.
Besides, it informed for demerger of its commercial finance business to its wholly-owned subsidiary—Reliance Commercial Finance, the Scheme for Arrangement has been approved. "The appointed date for the scheme is 1 April."
The scheme is subject to requisite approvals. Accordingly, aforesaid commercial finance division has been considered as discounting operations," it said. The related income tax for concerned commercial finance business is Rs.15 crore and profit after tax is Rs.42 crore for the quarter ended 30 June.
Post demerger, the company would be applying to the Reserve Bank for registering itself as a core investment company, it added. Part of Reliance Group, Reliance Capital provides services in asset and mutual fund management, commercial finance, life and general insurance, equities and commodities broking, wealth management services, distribution of financial products, asset reconstruction and proprietary investments.

HOPES are high that Old Shoreham Road will be re-opened this evening, following repairs to a burst water main.
Southern Water engineers have repaired the leak and the new road surface has been laid.
A Southern Water spokesman said: "It is now setting. All being well, we expect the road to re-open this evening."
Herald senior reporter Elaine Hammond was at the scene, outside the Red Lion pub, this morning to get an update on how work was progressing.
There were no signs to indicate the road closure until the roundabout junction with Upper Shoreham Road, so a number of cars were seen turning full circle once they realised they could not access the A27 via the A283.
Sussex Police said yesterday they had to close the road due to fears the surface could collapse.
"We were called at 10.50am on February 18 to reports of flooding on the road.
"At the request of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, we closed the road between the Clover Leaf Roundabout, at the A27, and the Red Lion pub, at the junction with Upper Shoreham Road, over concerns the road is collapsing."
It was feared the road would have to be closed for several days, putting further pressure on drivers already affected by the closure of Grinstead Lane in Lancing and flooding on the A27 near the Sussex Pad traffic lights.

Since there are no Crusade relics in ToS, what is everyone putting in ashbringer? It looks like BoW might be the best alternative with the slim amount of AoE fights?
On that note, the sliverhand.net has "item level values" for each relic and trait but simming shows different results I am guessing thats just a baseline, however simming results will vary. I simmed a 915 BoW relic vs my 900 Crusade and the BoW did sim slightly higher but I'm skeptical about changing it.

Margaret Atwood,
The Robber Bride
(Talese, 1993; Bantam,
1995; Anchor, 1998)
The story of The Robber Bride is told through the eyes of three women -- not really friends, in some senses of the word, but united by a long-time bond and a common loathing. The eponymous star of the book, Zenia, doesn't actually appear much in the story except through flashbacks; in fact, when the book begins, she is five years dead. Or so Tony, Charis and Roz believe.
The three women met in college, but their lives have since gone in very different directions. Tony is a professor of history -- or, more specifically, war. She is married, though childless, and her husband is somewhat fragile of spirit. Tony is solid, logical and often dispassionate. Charis is earthier, wrapped in new-age philosophies. She is unsure how to deal with her college-age daughter, and she still wonders what happened to her long-vanished husband, a Vietnam draft-dodger from the States. Roz is a typical mother of three (one post-college son and twin high school-aged daughters) and a wealthy businesswoman, president of her own diverse company.
Zenia is the woman who wrecked their lives, one at a time and years apart. With a multiple-choice past and an enigmatic present, Zenia has facades upon facades, schemes upon conceits, and she befriends people with ease before corrupting the best parts of their lives -- perhaps for no other reason than she can.
Margaret Atwood takes you deep inside each woman's skin -- except, of course, Zenia, who must remain a mystery -- peeling away layers of their lives and examining in white-knuckled detail the events, experiences and tragedies that shaped them. Each woman's narrative seems sufficient foundation for a book even without Zenia's intrusion; combined, The Robber Bride is a tapestry of carefully woven strands, seen individually and successively through each woman's perspective. The flow of flashbacks within flashbacks is effectively rendered, never confusing.
It is interesting to conjecture the different lives these women might lead if Zenia had not targeted their vulnerable places. Perhaps better, perhaps worse -- but far less interesting -- The Robber Bride is a triumphant look at the core of three women and the multifaceted surface of the one who defined them.

What do you do when you've experienced success but are afraid that success will never visit your door again? You write another bestseller…
At least, that's what Elizabeth Gilbert did. Big Magic is a personal narrative talking about the fear and nervousness she felt after the overnight success of Eat, Pray, Love, a book that wasn't expected to be nearly as successful as it was.
I really wanted to love this book. The cover is amazing, and as a writer, each acceptance letter brings about those same feelings. Whew. I did it…but can I do it again?
But I didn't love it. It left me lukewarm. It's advertised as "Creative Living Beyond Fear" but I never really felt she truly addressed the fear I wanted her to address. Perhaps my fear is different enough that I couldn't connect. I'm not sure. It simply wasn't what I had hoped for.
