My name is Jay White and I am a gardener from Brenham, Texas. I have a master's degree in Horticulture from Texas A&M University that I completed at the tender age of 51! Whoop! When I am not working on this blog I am trying to use some of the "learnin' " I got from A&M to grow the best organic edibles and ornamentals in Texas. When I am not gardening (or writing about gardening) I work for the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. I am also a very lucky husband, proud father and (soon to be) ridiculous grandfather. My wife (Sally) and I are truly blessed. We are the proud parents of five incredibly good kids, we work for great places that we truly love and we live in the best little town in America. All of this is due almost entirely to her. I just want to say a very public thank you to her. She is the reason I went back to school and the reason I began to write. She is my inspiration and my biggest supporter. I hope you like the blog as much as she does!
Patty Glenn Leander was raised in Midland, Texas by a dietitian mom who never met a vegetable she didn't like and a geologist dad who loved his Bermuda onions as much as his bermuda shorts. She is a contributing writer to Texas Gardener magazine, a Master Gardener Vegetable Specialist and holds a B. S. in Food and Nutrition from Texas Tech University. In addition to growing, eating and writing about vegetables she enjoys traveling the great state of Texas sharing her expertise and enthusiasm for vegetable gardening. Patty and her husband, Bruce, work as a team – she cultivates, harvests and prepares the vegetables, he photographs and eats them. Patty's passion for vegetable gardening was inspired by the late George and Mary Stewart of Houston, who shared with her their lifetime of gardening wisdom and encouraged her to pass it on so that others may share in the satisfaction and success of growing their own vegetables.
William (Bill) D. Adams, spent 31 years honing his craft as an extension specialist in Harris County. Upon retirement he set out to learn everything there was to know about the tomato. His efforts have resulted in the publication his latest book, the "Texas Tomato Lover's Handbook". This best selling, comprehensive work tells you everything you need to know so you can grow the best tomatoes possible in the difficult and unpredictable Texas climate. As you will see when you read his book, Bill's extensive research (which means growing EVERY tomato he mentions) has made him the UNDISPUTED tomato king of Texas.

@ChristofPutzel @Current #Vanguard
In this excerpt from tonight's all-new Vanguard on Current TV, correspondent Christof Putzel speaks with Billy Roper, a leader of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. Roper now resides with his family in Harrison, Arkansas, considered an epicenter for the modern day Klan. Putzel briefly traces the evolution and history of the Klan in Harrison and interviews Roper about why he decided to move there, and his plans for keeping the town a white majority. During the interview, Roper says, "I could not accept my daughter having mixed race offspring. I would no longer consider her to be my daughter."
In this clip, Putzel talks to the young son of a leader of the KKK who produces his own video program—"A Show for White Kids." In an effort to raise a new generation of Klan leaders and followers, this online program teaches racism to children, by children. While referencing Disney's "The Princess and the Frog," the child host says, "the princess is a black so that is good for all the black kids out there, but the prince is white. It is all about how race mixing is good, but race mixing is wrong." It may seem less unusual when it's factored in that he lives in Harrison, Arkansas, considered an epicenter for the modern day Klan.
Vanguard airs tonight at 9pm et/6pm PT on Current TV.

Two years ago I felt my life was just swirling past me, I had so much to do, and each activity was of such importance! It had to be done and by me. I felt like I was running to catch up and yet I was always behind. Every single activity that I was participating in was a "good" thing for me to be doing. No one could say that any of the activities I was part of were anything but beneficial to me as a Christ follower, Wife, Mom, homeschooler, church goer, friend. But my head was tired of it all, my body was fighting me and I was slowly becoming miserable.
So, I slowly systematically started saying no.
- Want to join a walking club in town, in the middle of your school day? No, thank you, not this year.
- We need you to create an amazing class for co-op! No, sorry I can only be a helper this year.
- Honey, I need you to take care of these 5 things for my business that I should have gotten done last month. No, sorry, you will have to do it yourself. I can offer guidance but it really is your job.
Slowly, I stripped myself of my to-do list and guarded myself from adding new, exciting things to fill that new empty space in my life. It's amazing how many great opportunities have presented themselves lately! However, I knew I needed to just be quiet.
One afternoon, I actually sat in my bedroom and day dreamed all afternoon. Three whole hours doing nothing but staring at the clouds and fanaticizing. Call me lazy. It's ok. I'll answer to it. That afternoon was one of my favorite restful days I have taken in a long time. My body actually felt as stress free as if I'd just finished a massage. The stress of going constantly had started some problems physically for me. Those issues are dissipating without drugs because I had the time to nourish my body with what it needed most healthy foods and peace.
Over a month ago, my husband and I lost a friend to a heart issue. He was 14 years older than me. Throughout the following weeks, I was able walk his dear wife through her fog of grief. I was able to hold her hand, stand beside her and nourish her body and soul. Later on I realized that I could do that because I had carved out time for what really mattered, just being with people.
I no longer needed to attend a meeting. I was able to attend a grieving soul.
I no longer was pressuring myself to write the best curriculum for my class. I was available to write lists for a forlorn wife as she started her new solitary life.
I realized later, I couldn't have done this on my own. I had time, to devote myself to helping this dear friend during that week, because I was blessed enough to have a friend who watched over my children for me. That was a huge blessing for our whole family. I think God had started to clear a path in my life years ago to help me be ready for this period of my life.
So, what did I learn? I learned that I do not want to go back to that crazy, spinning life. Ironically, my calendar has more activities on it then it had two years ago, but those activities belong to my children and they are hand selected to give us the most time at home together as a family. My home is calmer, quieter and I am less rushed. I am happier and actually feel sad for my friends who are "running around with their heads cut off." I feel like I stepped off the carousel of life and I'm actually just feeling the breeze naturally on my skin for the first time. No longer does the carousel create the breeze of wind on my skin.
One dear friend came to see me, she was concerned that I was depressed. I told her I was grieving the loss of a friend and yes I could see that she would think that I was depressed but that was ok because grieving a friend was a natural thing to do. She wasn't convinced. She felt that if I didn't get busy again quickly I would fall into a great depression. She encouraged me to "get back in the game" of things, but I'm not longer interested in playing that game. I'm enjoying my quietness. I'm enjoying my space, my peace, my simple life. I can breathe. I can day dream. I can just be.

It's a good idea: Shadow several filesystems over each other, so you see the content of all of them in a single directory tree: fs1: /usr/bin/foo fs2: /usr/bin/bar shadow: /usr/bin/foo /usr/bin/bar With sufficient options to specify which fs should be "on top" (override other fs) and where to put writes to (only the top level, the level from which the file comes etc), this can be used in manifold ways: Shadowing an empty partition over a CD-ROM to get a copy-on-write system (useful for live-filesystems). Shadowing software installed in some weird tree (~/opt for example) over the root filesystem to "install" it. Shadowing some user filesystem over the root filesystem and boot in it (to get a subhurd without duplicating the parents files) etc. However, as with all useful things, it is not implemented yet :) Thanks, Marcus

Was 1 Ever Considered to Be a Prime Number?
Date: 02/29/2004 at 01:17:19 From: Jim Subject: 1 as a prime number I learned that a prime number was one divisible by only itself and 1, but my 4th grader says that per her book a prime requires 2 different factors. I note your Greek reference for 1 not being prime, which would indicate that I'm wrong and there was no change in definition. However, Ray's New Higher Arithmetic (1880) states, "A prime number is one that can be exactly divided by no other whole number but itself and 1, as 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, etc." Can you tell me when this change happened and why?
Date: 02/29/2004 at 17:39:00 From: Doctor Rob Subject: Re: 1 as a prime number Thanks for writing to Ask Dr. Math, Jim! I believe the 1880 book you cited is wrong--1 has never been and will never be considered a prime. If you treated 1 as a prime, then the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, which describes unique factorization of numbers into products of primes, would be false, or would have to be restated in terms of "primes different from 1." The same is true of many other theorems of number theory and commutative algebra. Rather than use this phrase, it makes more sense to define primes so as not to include 1. Also, the multiplicative inverse of 1 (reciprocal of 1) exists in the positive integers, which is true of no other positive integer. We call such numbers "units," and this property makes them different from non-units. Feel free to reply if I can help further with this question. - Doctor Rob, The Math Forum http://mathforum.org/dr.math/
Date: 03/01/2004 at 09:18:44 From: Doctor Peterson Subject: Re: 1 as a prime number Hi, Jim. I'm going to disagree slightly with what Dr. Rob told you: although the definition of prime never SHOULD have included 1, and DIDN'T in the late 20th century, this fact was not always recognized in the relatively distant past. This is discussed here: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/PrimeNumber.html The number 1 is a special case which is considered neither prime nor composite (Wells 1986, p. 31). Although the number 1 used to be considered a prime (Goldbach 1742; Lehmer 1909; Lehmer 1914; Hardy and Wright 1979, p. 11; Gardner 1984, pp. 86-87; Sloane and Plouffe 1995, p. 33; Hardy 1999, p. 46), it requires special treatment in so many definitions and applications involving primes greater than or equal to 2 that it is usually placed into a class of its own. A good reason not to call 1 a prime number is that if 1 were prime, then the statement of the fundamental theorem of arithmetic would have to be modified since "in exactly one way" would be false because any n = n*1. In other words, unique factorization into a product of primes would fail if the primes included 1. A slightly less illuminating but mathematically correct reason is noted by Tietze (1965, p. 2), who states "Why is the number 1 made an exception? This is a problem that schoolboys often argue about, but since it is a question of definition, it is not arguable." I'm assuming that the references from 1979 on, at least, say that primes were formerly defined to include 1, rather than using that definition themselves. Texts, also, may not always be careful about definitions; your "divisible by only itself and 1" may well be intended to imply that "itself and 1" are not the same number, or the question of whether 1 is a prime may not have been considered. Here is another discussion of this question that I found: http://mathforum.org/kb/message.jspa?messageID=1379707 Read especially John Conway's contributions, which point out that mathematicians recognized the need to clarify the definition when certain aspects of abstract algebra developed in the 1900's, which gave them a new perspective on the question; but that school texts, as usual, were slow to adopt the corrected definition: The change gradually took place over this century [the 1900's], because it simplifies the statements of almost all theorems. If you count 1 as a prime, for example, numbers don't have unique factorizations into primes, because for example 6 = 1 times 2 times 3 as well as 2 times 3. It's a bit of a nuisance that Lehmer's 1914 "List of all prime numbers below 10 million" counts 1 as a prime. I think the development of number theory for other rings played a big part, because there one finds other "units" besides 1 (for instance +-1 and +-i in the Gaussian integers), and these units clearly behave in many ways that make them different from the primes. Other examples of the kind of thing that goes wrong if you count 1 as a prime are arithmetical theorems like "If p,q,r,... are distinct primes, then the number of divisors of p^a.q^b.r^c.... is (a + 1)(b + 1)(c + 1)... ." Mathematicians this century [the 1900's] are generally much more careful about exceptional behavior of numbers like 0 and 1 than were their predecessors: we nowadays take care to adjust our statements so that our theorems are actually true. It's easy to find lots of statements in 19th century books that are actually false with the definitions their authors used - one might well find the above one, for instance, in a work whose definitions allowed 1 to be a prime. Nowadays, we no longer regard that as satisfactory. The changeover has been very gradual, and I'll bet there are publications from the last few years in which 1 is still counted as a prime--in other words, it's not yet complete. In the 1950s and 1960s, books that chose the new definition would always be careful to point out that they were doing so, and that most authors included 1 with the primes. The real thing that gets such a change accepted is when it gets into high-school textbooks. I think that perhaps we must thank "the new math" movement, which for all its faults did get some of the terminology and conventions into the high schools that had hitherto only been used in the Universities. School textbooks don't like to muddy the waters by explaining such things as variations in usage, so would tend to give just one definition. My guess is that you'll find that schoolbooks of the 1950s defined primes so as to include 1, while those of the 1970s explicitly excluded 1. It sounds like your textbooks, and mine, might have used the old definition! If you have any further questions, feel free to write back. - Doctor Peterson, The Math Forum http://mathforum.org/dr.math/

Our Soil
The continuation and flourishing of human life depends on protecting the well-being of our soil.
• The major causes of soil degradation include deforestation , overexploitation for firewood , overgrazing , agricultural activities , and industrialization.
• 40% of the globe's farmlands are degraded, and 20% are in danger of becoming deserts.
• The loss of freshwater reserves and the loss of topsoil have been decreasing worldwide yields for many staple crops.
"The nation that destroys its soil, destroys itself."

Home design resolutions to ace your space in 2012
Updated 9:48 am, Monday, January 2, 2012
From kitchen renovations to organizing and clearing out to finally painting the walls, why not resolve to get your nest looking its best in 2012?
Changes don't have to be expensive to make an impact.
"Setting realistic goals that provide immediate gratification, such as painting an accent wall or clearing the clutter with new home organization items … can make a huge difference in your home's appearance immediately," says Jaclyn Pardini, a spokeswoman for Lowe's.
Artist Chandra Michaels of Sugarluxe art and accessories (www.sugarluxe .com) plans to spend at least part of the new year pushing a paint brush. A relatively small investment in paint can provide dramatic improvements.
"As an artist, I find I'm so much happier when surrounded by color," Michaels says. "I'm painting walls, the front door - in a retro aqua - love! And I have promised myself I'd finish painting our kitchen cabinets. The doors have been off the cabinet frames for 10 months."
Dara Caponigro, editor-in-chief of Veranda magazine, resolves to have people over at least once per month in the new year. That will encourage her to focus on tablescapes, which she loves.

"I think setting a beautiful table can be such an expression of who you are and so satisfying, because it's a little mini creative project," Caponigro says. "I understand that people are so busy, and it's difficult to find the time to entertain."
Caponigro suggests that even if you are ordering takeout, you can wow guests with a fabulous tablescape.
"Tableware is so exquisite," Caponigro says. "I used to be the tabletop editor years ago at one of the magazines I worked for, so I guess I'm sort of a tabletop fanatic. It takes the ordinary to the extraordinary."
Freelance writer and blogger Therese McDonald Odell is setting her sites on the kitchen.
"I swear, this is the year we are going to finally redo our kitchen," Odell says, then repeats herself with conviction.
But Pardini recommends a lighter approach.
"In today's economy, homeowners are thinking in terms of what needs to be done and focusing their time and money on refresh-type décor projects," Pardini says. "For example, instead of tackling a complete kitchen remodel, they may update the color and texture of their countertops and cabinets with a paint product called Cabinet and Countertop Transformations for a new look that costs less than $500. They may also update their recessed can lighting to pendant lights over a sink or kitchen island, install a tile backsplash and add new cabinet hardware for a fresh look."
Pardini advises experimenting in the kitchen with a bold hue of paint, because with limited wall space, the color won't overwhelm the room.
"Consider food-inspired paint colors," she says.
Even if you aren't particularly design-savvy, there are little things you can do to keep your home looking fresh and fabulous throughout the year.
"Keep things simple and buy classics," Caponigro advises.
A sisal rug, a sofa that will never go out of style and white walls are a few ways to keep it clean and bright.
"Then you can change things out if you want to keep things current, change out your throw pillows, change out the little things," Caponigro says.
People want their homes to reflect who they are and how they really live, so small updates will make a world of difference, Pardini says.

The Death of General Mercer at the Battle of Princeton January 3, 1777 by John Trumball.
TO ARMS! As you may recall, late last year, part of the ground where George Washington led that storied charge was being cleared in preparation for a faculty housing complex for the Institute for Advanced Study, a private independent academic institution. Thanks to the support of concerned citizens and members like you, the Institute and the Civil War Trust have reached an agreement to preserve the site of George Washington's famous counterattack—but we again need your help to do it. We now have the unprecedented opportunity to save 15 acres where George Washington and our nation's first citizen soldiers fought, increasing the size of the Princeton Battlefield State Park by 16 percent. Land that was once as good as lost can now be protected if we act now. Help us preserve George Washington's legacy and save Princeton! Click here to show your support!
George Washington at the Battle of Princeton by Charles Willson Peale
Today, new battles...
The Thomas Clarke House under attack from "the elements" and the iconic Mercer Oak is being threatened by disease. Now, we must honor the sacrifices of those who fought here and preserve their memories and this sacred land.
We hope you enjoy learning more about the Battle of Princeton, The Princeton Battlefield Society and how you can play a part in protecting this cherished piece of United States history.

As of May 5, Gov. Susana Martinez had about $4.2 million on hand.
Of the five democrats running for governor, Alan Webber has been the leading fundraiser.
Earlier this month he reported a balance in his campaign account of almost half a million dollars.

There is a rabid discussion in the sports world about whether or not any of these players will make it to the hall of fame because of their possible steroid use, they will forever be known as cheaters. That brings me to the latest snapback cap from DC which is coincidentally called the cheater hat. It features a heather Grey crown with a Navy Blue brim and round patch on the front panel.

Tableau Methods have been extensively investigated for standard (infinite) temporal logics and there has been some tableau work in the interval temporal logic setting. However, this work has not considered the important projection operator. This paper responds to this deficiency by defining just such a tableau algorithm which handles the projection operator.

Cubase AI 9 benefits from the newly introduced plug-in verification system Plug-in Sentinel. The Plug-in Sentinel recognizes problematic plug-ins during startup and quarantines them.
Read more...
However, on some systems, Plug-in Sentinel in Cubase AI 9 might mistake the plug-in StepFilter for being incompatible and blacklist it. StepFilter is an older plug-in and exclusively available in Cubase Elements 9. Therefore, as a Cubase AI 9 user, you simply can ignore the corresponding warning.
This has been resolved in the Cubase AI 9.0.2. Please find this udpate on the Cubase AI 9 download page.

To answer your question: $sth->statement will show you the statement exactly as it was prepared (with placeholders). Unfortunately, this won't help you much in this case, as has already been pointed out.
If you must use a prepared statement to pass your list, you could consider using the MySQL FIND_IN_SET() function, which accepts the list join()'ed into a single string.
Another possible approach might be to use an SQL sub query to build the list, that way you never have to pass it in the first place:
Finally, there are alternatives to using prepared statements, but you'll have to guard against injection attacks in some other way. In the case of a list of integer IDs this is ofcourse trivial.

Madonna, Guy Ritchie close to settling Rocco's custody battle
Queen of Pop Madonna and director Guy Ritchie are close to settling court battle over custody of their son Rocco
New York: Queen of Pop Madonna and director Guy Ritchie are close to settling court battle over custody of their son Rocco.
Madonna. Pic/Santa Banta
According to Guy's attorney Peter Bronstein, the "Rebel Heart" hitmaker and her ex-husband haven't reached a final deal yet, reported New York Post.
Madonna and Guy were originally expected to be in court yesterday for a tentatively scheduled hearing over Rocco's living arrangements.
However, the hearing was postponed until June 14. "The fat lady has not sung," Peter said. "We're close. The case is not settled but we're very hopeful. Hopefully whatever issues remain will be resolved."
On Tuesday, Rocco was spotted grabbing coffee with some friends in Manhattan before heading to Madonna's home.
He was seen grinning and laughing during the outing. The night before, Rocco went to see Broadway show "Sleep No More" with Madonna and his sister Lourdes Leon. The trio were clad in white masks.
According to Guy's lawyer, Rocco "is visiting his mother as we speak in New York," but the trip was not part of the pending settlement agreement. It was rather "worked out among
the family," Peter
Madonna's representative hasn't commented on the issue yet.

Home Again, final thoughts
Tips for enjoying your own expedition to the UK
Thursday 28 Jul 2011 65 °F
I have been home for a while now and, reflecting back, here are some tips that might help make your own expedition to the UK more enjoyable.
First, check with your bank and let them know when you will be away and where, otherwise they may lock your account the first time you make an overseas credit card purchase.
Second, ask them if they have a partnership with a bank in the UK. If they do (B of A is partnered with Barclays) then you can probably use the partner bank's ATM without incurring additional fees. This means that when you draw money out, you will get the amount you asked for in local currency, converted using the conversion rate of the day. This can save you big bucks over the long run.
Using your credit card will probably get you a small conversion fee, but some retailers (not all) can charge you in dollars rather than pounds or euros. This is more trouble on the part of the retailer, so it may not be an advertised service, or their credit card processor may not be able to do it. I discovered it was possible near the end of my trip from a retailer in Ballyvaughan. He did the conversion on his calculator and then charged me the dollar amount.
If you really want to, you can find Starbucks, McDonalds, Pizza Hut and Burger King in any major city and several smaller ones, but…why? Try the local food. British food may have a bad rap, but I enjoyed it. Scottish food is not all haggis and neeps, but they really are quite tasty. Be brave; try some.
What seems to be popular right now with the Brits is the concept of fresh, packaged food. You can find cafes with names like "Eat", "Pret A Manger", "Fresh", and so forth, that are dedicated to sandwiches, salads, yogurt, snacks, wraps, etc. that were prepared recently and then packaged in neat little boxes and plastic dishes. This is just like the food you might get at Starbucks, though more British. These places tend to close early in the evening, and most of them are sit-in or take-away.
It seems that no matter whatever form of transportation you choose, there will be delays. Planes? Delayed. Trains? Delayed. Underground? Delayed. Bus? Late. Taxi? Expensive and stuck in traffic with the meter running. Walking? Rained on.
My advice is to accept it and move on. Readjust your plans, or better yet, keep your plans flexible to begin with and you will probably have a better time. If you are taking the train, look into a BritRail pass. For the underground, get an Oyster card.
Something to keep in mind when you are traveling is that street signs are different in the UK. I don't mean the warning signs, but the actual street name signs. This can be a real difficulty when trying to orient yourself. The name of the street is usually mounted on a building near the intersection. This means that if you are at the wrong angle you won't be able to see the street names. Also, if you are on a main thoroughfare, there may not be a sign at your intersection; I suppose they expect you to know what street you are on. So look for street signs on buildings and if you cannot find one, try the next intersection or guess. Or use a GPS (but see the Cellular section below).
My best advice is to look up. European cities have existed for centuries and except for the occasional disaster, many buildings have existed just as long. Most buildings at street level have had a facelift to make them more modern and appealing to shoppers, but if you look above, you will see an amazing array of architectural styles and decor. There are statues, gargoyles, faces, saints, notables, and miscellaneous beasties sculpted into the buildings. You might also find that there are underground city tours, like in Edinburgh, where you can see what the city was like prior to renovation.
To decide what you actually want to see, consult a guidebook. If this is your first trip, then leaving London without seeing Big Ben, Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, and so on, is simply wrong but also dig a little deeper. Talk to people you meet on your trip or join an online travel community to get an idea of the smaller, hidden gems that the guidebooks don't cover.
Unlike the US, most of the UK seems to charge for wifi. It is possible to find a cafe with free wifi, but it is not easy, and they are not on every corner. Often, I believe it is based on the size of the establishment. Britain has a longstanding tradition of take-away shops (or "food to go") that are not quite fast food as we know it. These shops are generally very small, often just a counter to order from with no chairs or tables inside. When they do allow sit-in, there are often only two or three tables, so it makes sense at a place this small wouldn't want people hanging around all day using the Internet. The larger, newer cafes will usually have Internet, but not always free.
Furthermore, you cannot count on getting the same Internet provider at each hotspot. So if you purchase a month's worth of service from BTOpenZone, the next cafe you stop in might be using Boingo, and you'll have to pay again.
Your hotel or hostel will probably have wifi, but again it may not be free. I had to pay at two out of the five places I stayed on my trip. Also, wifi is often restricted to a common area and may not reach to your room. This makes things like Skype or other VoIP services a little impractical (although the time difference pretty much made this irrelevant).
So, don't count on free wifi or being able to access it from your hotel room, but you will be able to find wifi somewhere. I wrote a good portion of this blog offline and posted it from my hotel.
I always had cell service, but the carrier changed depending on where I was. Since I have an ATT iPhone, I did some research ahead of time. Some phones you can unlock and then replace the Sim card which will allow you to use your own phone on a local carrier and plan. This will probably save money if you want to use your phone to keep in touch with your home, office or traveling partners. But alas, ATT will not allow their iPhone to be unlocked. ATT also charges egregious rates for roaming, as well as for data services.
Because I was on an extreme budget, my solution was to turn Data Roaming off and only use my iPhone's data services over wifi. This essentially made it into a dumbphone rather than a smartphone. If you choose to do this, I suggest you download some good offline map apps before you arrive. Features I find useful are: ability to place your own pins in the map and label them; street name searching; ability to select an area and bring up restaurants, shops, sites etc. The one I found, CityMaps2Go works okay, but not great. There may be better ones out there.
If you do have network access, you will be glad (at least until you get the bill). Without 3G, there are no location services so your mapping software cannot find you. If you are going to spend a lot of time in one country, you might look into getting a smartphone that works there. Apparently iPhones not on the AT&T network can be jailbroken, unlocked and used in other countries with the right SIM card. I imagine other smartphones might work with just the change of a SIM card, but do your own research before trying this.

The wording of a definition in Indiana's gambling regulations is playing a key role in the debate over whether to allow full-fledged casinos at horse-racing tracks.
Hoosier Park and Indiana Grand already have blackjack and roulette, even though the law grants them only slot machines. What they have are electronic versions, with a video dealer announcing winners.
"In many states, those type of units had grown out of slot-machine-type units and were considered a slot machine, as they are in several other states," says Centaur Gaming president Jim Brown. "Most of those states now have changed to live table games."
Brown argues since the games already exist, live versions would not expand gambling. Governor Mike Pence and House and Senate leaders have disagreed.

A few weeks back, I did a 2014 resolution final push. I am here to report on my final progress for the 2014 goals/resolutions and reveal the list for 2015 (most of which I have already started on!)
Health/Well Being
- drink more water (6 eight ounce glasses, per day.)
- work out (3x's per week. Cardio and weights)
- lose 4 lbs. by 2/27/2014
- Brush teeth/ remove makeup nightly before bed
- pay off credit card debt by end of year (Changed to car payment.)
- look into student loans
- retirement plan/savings
- future planning with teaching–check out options/other schools
- cultivate/improve friendships
- travel more
- blog- regular posting, organization, ad revenue
- read 12 books
- sew/make stuff (3 useable items by end of year)
The red text are items that I did not complete, the orange are items that I sort of completed and/or modified, and the green items are the area's where I was successful. For Health and Well Being I started the year out well, but then dropped the ball and never quite picked it back up again. For Finances/Work I made some really good headway with my debt reduction plan, but I made a few modifications throughout the year. In the misc. category I did the best—mostly because it is composed of things that I enjoy doing: reading, blogging, and sewing!
Resolutions/Goals for 2015
Health/Well Being
- Lose 7 lbs. by 3/9/2015 (9 weeks) by following the South Beach Diet
- workout (3x's per week–cardio and weights)
- Be more active
- Brush and floss more often
- Continue with debt reduction plan: eliminate credit card debt by 5/2015
- Continue to pay on student loans
- Retirement planning/savings
- Travel more/ Go skydiving
- Blog– continue to improve– update theme, better back-end organization, ad revenue (equal or exceed ad revenue earnings for 2014)
- Read 12 books
- Improve sewing skills (attend a class at Jo Ann Fabric (?), make 3 useable/wearable items)
- Continue to improve my Youtube channel and post more frequently– a minimum of 2 video's per month, ideally 3-4
There you have it! These are the goals for 2015. Yes, I do realize that these are almost the same goals as 2014 that I didn't do so well with, but that's o.k. I think that sometimes those things happen.
What are your resolutions or goals for the year? I purposely waited to officially start mine until today, Monday Jan. 5. It was good to have those first few days to think about what my goals are and my plan of attack.

Ah, Node.Hack. We have come a long way from Wargames. Truly, a game about hacking computers, played in the palm of your hand on a megabit-throughput smartphone? As children growing up in the 80's, we would have boggled at the thought. And yet, it's that very same retro-fueled heart that's beating at the core of this game.
Does the node-and-bridge architecture remind you of something? Do the representations of the player, the enemies, the loot, do they seem like somewhere you've been before?
They do to me – and it's no accident. I am an unapologetic ASCII-hound, and the simplicity of the single code-page world was an exercise in constraint-fueled design whose challenge has yet gone unmatched.
Tim Sweeney's ZZT – the grandfather of this kind of game – made it feel like all things were possible. And, during my SysOp days on my bulletin board, I fell in love with a particular doorgame called NetRunner (shown above): a 1993 ASCII-based hacking game that drew inspiration from the card game of the same name, and the stylized anthropomorphism of "node" hacking made popular in the Shadowrun series of RPGs and the visceral writings of William Gibson.
As a developer, I've had some direct forays into that world of ASCII graphics with prototype projects like The Agency: Razor One, but today's modern platforms – phones, tablets, consoles – just don't play that game anymore. And why should they? Games made of text characters? They fail to impress, they feel like playing on punchcards.
But what if a stylized version of that world formed the backdrop, crafted some of the rules, and then let you break them? Could you imagine, being held down to an ASCII world but then suddenly breaking free? Explosions, splashes of binary on skewing vectors, breaking the imagined plane of the two-by-two universe?
I did – and I called it Node.Hack.
Tomorrow, it will be released to the world, and I hope that you'll enjoy it. There's a lot of my childhood in its shapes and contours, from the sounds to the interface all the way to the strange notion that somehow, tapping that node with your finger, rather than typing it into a computer console, still feels right – even though we aren't sure why.
Welcome to the future. Again.

I was diagnosed as a sufferer from scleroderma and Sjögren's syndrome. My oral problems were the presence of lesions, burning sensation and hoarseness due to dryness. I am a lecturer, and because of these problems I planned to stop working. My doctors recommended to me the use of mouthwashes. Nevertheless, my quality of life continued to deteriorate. It became more and more difficult to talk and to eat, and I needed huge quantities of drinking water to moisten my mouth.
Three months ago I received the GenNarino device, and was instructed to wear it for 10 minutes upon feeling oral dryness. The device created moisture and freshness in my mouth, and the hoarseness and the burning sensation disappeared. As to my teaching activities, before using the GenNarino I needed a glass of water every 5 minutes during classes. Now I need much less water, I speak clearly and I gave away the idea of quitting the job, which is so important to me. I could gradually decrease the frequency and length of usage, and now I am wearing the device 2 times a day for only one minute each time, and have no need to use oral lubricants or mouthwashes

Elder Scrolls Online will eventually be free-to-play - Analyst
Game consultancy business founder says ZeniMax will launch new MMORPG with paid subscription, but will drop fee in time.
We'll begin emailing you updates about %gameName%.
ZeniMax will launch The Elder Scrolls Online with a monthly paid subscription model but will in time transition the title to free-to-play, according to Nicholas Lovell, founder of game consultancy firm Gamesbrief.
"I still believe that subscription games are on the way out," Lovell told Edge. "It is conceivable that Bethesda will launch with a subscription service to attract the early adopters, because that is the model they understand."
He added, "They will switch to free-to-play later, in the same way that many iOS games go from paid to freemium over their lifetime. EA is struggling with The Old Republic, [but] almost everyone else is transitioning to free-to-play."
Two marquee subscription-based massively multiplayer online games on the market today are Blizzard's World of Warcraft and BioWare's Star Wars: The Old Republic. Both titles have suffered subscription dips recently, with 2 million bidding adieu to Azeroth since 2010, and 400,000 saying good-bye to Star Wars in the span of just three months.
The Elder Scrolls Online was announced last week and is headed to the PC and Mac in 2013. The game has been in development since 2007 and will cover the entire continent of Tamriel, including the lands featured in previous Elder Scrolls games like Cyrodiil, Skyrim, and Morrowind. Additionally, the title will be set 1,000 years before the events of last year's hit Skyrim and will put players into the world on the brink of demonic assimilation at the hands of the daedric prince Molag Bal.

Early morning at 5 sitting down in a quiet corner of the room after waking up from the alarm clock that set me up, reminded me of going to Cagwait White Beach Resort located in Cagwait town of Surigao del Sur province. It has been in the fourth day in Tandag City and the plan must push through before I bid goodbye Tandag City in the sixth day.
Tandag which was declared recently as one component city of Surigao del Sur was lucky enough to become a city which hounded some questionable eligibility from Supreme Court decisions. Until last February the decision was final with other new cities of Caraga Region, Bayugan City and Cabadbaran City.
I have to take the advantage because Tandag is much closer to Cagwait White Beach which will take half hour of travel compare to my origin place Butuan City which has almost three hours.
I have been dreaming Cagwait White Beach known as Boracay of Caraga. In my first post I was just a passerby witnessing a billboard for Kaliguan Festival for a quick moment of time then gone, then go back to my birthplace Butuan City, the center of Caraga Region.
The windy morning greeted me as I move out from the door looking some chair at the center of the cafeteria I live. The morning was just quiet and no one else in sight making a move, not anything from the lighted streets leveled before my eyes.
Looking passed the street constructed in a mountain top while I am sitting at the rooftop of a three-story building. A unique parallel position between me and the street is enough like a closer world in the outside.
Sitting the chair in a quiet and still atmosphere, giving me some cool reminiscent after doing my job yesterday from those professional head teachers who want to learn more of computer programs. Some of them find it hard to communicate since they are getting old and hate the technical word of computer language. They spar the mouse in their hand like holding tight causing tired muscles clicking left and pressing hard. And maybe hearing the word mouse is not a joke because they believe it is a pest running in the corner of the house or ruining the crops in the backyards.
The cold wind started drifting my skin layer as I opened the glass in a table top to get a sachet of coffee. If someone witness something strange going at the top then it might kill me since a thief mission started before dawn. But they believe visitor started pulling up everything for his own mission.
Zipping a cup of coffee to fight against the cold wind is just a moment to get energize early morning before moving to bus terminal en route to Cagwait White Beach.
Bus Terminal to Cagwait White Beach
Leaving the building I find my way of hundred stairs in climbing up to the street of Tandag. Walking through a terminal bus in a near distance never mind the dawn started to emerge in a cool and quiet morning. Meeting few structures along the streets with few people moving till up myself in terminal. Seems Tandag was just a baby hungry for development as the state of city hood begin for years.
Sitting in a rural bus was just typical setting where few passengers coming from different locations in going to some rural areas of the province. I notice young man carrying 30 brand new laptops sealed in package to be distributed in remote areas the farthest from Tandag with no fear of apprehension from would-be robbers along the way when sky still dark. When asked where to deliver he answered to Tagbina.
Deal business in a far-flung town that is surpassing seven more towns I guess before reaching Tagbina. Business is part of struggle from day to day when strangers coming in and out in the bus. He talks anyone he meet in the bus and telling them could be the cheapest laptops you can acquire if you have me but keeping an eye to his valuable assets.
This young man is set to become an entrepreneur for life if anything goes alright in his travel for the rest of his life.
Technology has gone so far that started in the Western World, and now the demands of thirty laptops went through in no time in the remote rural town of the province. Peoples seems addicted to the technology and they can acquire easily through cash on delivery or installment process.
The price of laptops nowadays goes in a downward trend since oversupply and competitive market becomes apparent, added measure was the invasion of mobile computing world like the rise of smartphones and tablets.
This young man promised everyone of having the advantage, and business became his recipe in life. I almost forgot where I have to go then someone shouting for Cagwait, till that moment I consumed 30 minutes or more, when I move out from the bus I am already in the center town of Cagwait.
Embracing Boracay Of Caraga
Along the highway, there was an adjacent road in going to Cagwait White Beach Resort and you have to wait for single motor called 'habal habal' in local community to carry you to the beach. Since still 6 in the morning, wrap up myself alone do the walking for hundreds of meters till I drop in a distance and my forehead badly sweating.
I think I have a bad estimate when someone told me you can reach Cagwait White Beach Resort by walking. I guess it was just kilometers away.
Single motor or 'habal-habal' at last came to the rescue and drop me at the entrance of Cagwait White Beach. Of course, seeing a vast land of white sands was an exciting tone and lifting the spirit for those first timers wants to make historic visit in the 'Unseen Paradise'. The white line curving in a distance paints a warm impression. Sunrise began spreading its rays that merge in the ocean and sands putting glowing effects in Mother Nature.
Skies were clear and the weather was perfect for just visitor and incoming visitors of the day. Exploring the scene of natures it is captivating to say what others telling when witness a horseshoe shape paradise resort facing the Pacific Ocean with clear blue water mixed of blinking crystal when rays started to elope with water that bounces the large waves in the shorelines.
High tide started to diminish as large waves contains the white sand beach like sometimes an angry mob in a friendly gestures. The sounds of the bouncing waves sometimes like a bomb, but if someone asked me how it did to my ears they are sweet like a gong of music spreading healthy tone inside the auditory nerve. They played like magic as the bluish clear water mixed in fine white sand leveled each other fighting in the shoreline.
I walked a straight line tried to investigate how Cagwait White Beach became famous in the minds of the local. I have not seen anyone in the beachline except on the base of the curve in the far where three peoples never end their revelry embracing the white sand beach for life. In this moment I owned the beach alone drifting in a quiet pristine paradise.
This place became Boracay of Caraga but in an opposite rivalry since Boracay already a populous shorelines bumping each other shoulders either foreign or local tourists along the way. But here in Cagwait White Beach is like walking in a no man's land, at least I met two fishermen along the way busy untangling the net with their few catches.
It seems walking alone with my bare feet as I used to be, touching in the wilderness the cotton like sands which formed my feet across for miles. I have never felt exhausted and drained. Energy is continuing and soul is alive when heart engaging the distance of the sands. When looking back of what I accomplished I can't believe of what I have done. Those falling sweats in the skin started influencing the healthy lifestyle in the sea.
At the end portion of the beach find my way of small rocks littered the sea. Sitting in one of the rocks find a resting place while looking back the baseline of the horseshoe shape paradise which becoming far away in the naked eyes. The white lines draw back the coastlines witnessing one end to the other end.
The waves of the sea started splashing my feet, my mind striking back how many miles it takes in reaching the opposite end of the white curve. The paradise is too long to explore and losing the time embracing the whole beach.
I was impressed when mountains and coconut trees forming alliance of Mother Natures behind a pristine white beaches. But if you know how mountains behave when it has its own threatening formations like when giant crocodile submerge in the sea waiting for a victim in a moments of fun and adventures. In a tropical place like Caraga, mountains and landscapes forming like wild animals added attraction before the eyes.
Digging More of Cagwait White Beach
Cagwait White Beach Resort became known before as Waikiki Beach in the Philippines when famous American pilot Charles Lindbergh witness the horseshoe formation while on plane likened in his hometown resort in Hawaii islands.
The discovery was just an accident when the purpose of coming in Caraga Region is for the wildlife campaign when the land in Cagwait mountainous area under concessions of logging industry turns out a sanctuary of Philippine eagles. Since then history became the tagline when Cagwait White Beach having a twin resort located in Hawaii Islands.
Peoples from different location of Caraga and Philippines started flocking to witness the celebrations of Kaliguan Festivals every June 24th of the year. Tribal dance takes pride wearing colourful ethnic dress in the middle of the celebrations with the beauties entrance vying for Perlas ng Kaliguan.
Kaliguan Festival started in 1996 that brought the tagline of Cagwait White Beach as the 'Unseen Paradise' but not anymore as far as neighboring towns of Surigao del Sur and the entire Caraga Region. In addition of road project completion from Butuan City in going to Tandag City, Cagwait White Beach pose a perfect conditions when escape from urban life.
Believing what you have seen the wonder of natures what to do is capture the sights and sounds that is lacking before the young years of life.

slim here again.... okay i figured out how to copy patterns... found it on korg's download's site. the file is http://www.korg.com/downloads/mac/ES-1_User's_Guide.pdf
i recommend everyone owning an es-1 download this.
this think kicks ASS

alright, i finally got this thing home!!
first off, i have to say that this machine kicks ass. within the first 24 hours that i've owned it, i've already created my own patterns and arranged a phat techno song through the XOX-style sequencer. it took me at least a week to do this with the mc-303 and the mc-303 songs sounded too cheeze. i do wish that it came with some empty user banks for my patterns. instead, i have to erase presets. which is ok because only a few of them are worth keeping for editing purposes. i already feel that this box will be way easier to incorporate into live dj mixing than the mc-303. it's amazing that so many people slammed me for my poor reviews of the mc-303. it's also amazing to me that the mc-303 still costs more than the es-1. sure, there are phatter machines out on the market than the es-1, but i have to say that this little box is mighty impressive for it's price. i haven't utilized it's sampling features yet, but as soon as i unpack my gear and buy a smartmedia card, all those crappy records from my parents' days are going to be reborn. i originally bought this and the kaoss pad because i couldn't afford the pioneer djm-600 mixer and figured that these two were the next best thing. i haven't connected the kaoss yet and i'm not sure if it's going to be worth it once i do. if anyone has these two machines configured, please email me with your thoughts and uses you may have found. however, the kaoss is awesome for the outboard efx through the send/receive on my mixer. for a dj with decent mixing gear, the es-1 will be a phat remixing/producing tool at an affordable price. i'd love to have a tb-303 hooked up to it! i'm sure i will be back once i utilize more of this box.
peace, djMICROflip

so, if they aren't royalty free.. Resample them. and voila you've created your own sample!
besides, who would buy a *SAMPLER* and want to use the dry preset samples anyways? might as well just buy an ER-1 and save $100.
on to my review... this thing is cool. I wish it had one of those ribbon controllers like Yamaha's SU200 and SU700, but then again i guess that's just yammy's thing (its a really cool feature tho), however that feature is more of a live feature than a studio feature. so Studio wise the ES-1 kicks... even with the 32khz sample rate which really doesnt effect any of my samples other than like a high pitched crash cymbal which i have a drum machine for. So i am actually glad it has the 32khz sample rate cuz that gives more memory for more sounds and patterns.
If you are looking for something that has more realtime fun check out the SU200... if you are looking for a seq/sampler with more professionality then check the MPC. but if you want middle of the road Form & Function get an ES-1

I am a big fan of the simplicity of Korg's EA-1 and ER-1 boxes. They are both innovative and fully tweakable, and at just the right price! I recently purchased the ES-1 and am quite pleased with it. It is the most hands-on sampler on the market today and with polyphoney comparable to Roland's Sp-808. This piece would be a great first sampler for anybody. One drawback though is it is difficult get used to setting the tempo of the track(all your other gear slaved to this tempo) to whatever the preset tempo on the ES-1 is cuz if you slave the sampler, samples will not loop correctly and your mix is defunkt. No timestretch or compress...but i love the individual dedicated cutoff filter knob!
good piece all in all

Bollocks: I paid korg $500 for mine, and if I use it commercially I have to pay them to use their machines preset sounds, let's see korg's legal department make that one stick -- me thinks it's virtually impossible..
I really like this machine, to me it's a poor man's studio440/sp1200, or for a more current reference the Akai MPC series, basically a sampling drum machine (really cool idea), it's good that finally someone got the price right, I'm not paying $1500 ever again for a crippled drum machine like the MPC 2k.
These are good, you should own one, or a few if you'd prefer... Just get one..

In crp mutant strains of Escherichia coli, lacking the catabolite gene activator protein (CAP also known as CRP), cAMP synthesis is substantially increased as compared to wild type strains regardless of the growth medium [PubMed]. This increase is also observed in crp mutant strains of Salmonella typhimurium [J Bacteriol].
Increase in cAMP synthesis resulting in an overproduction of cAMP depends mainly on the activation of adenylate cyclase by phosphorylated Enzyme IIAGlc [Microbiology].
Overproduction of cAMP can be visualized on MacConkey agar plate due to cAMP extrusion from E. coli cells [Biochem Biophys Res Commun], a process that was shown to be energy-dependent [J Biol Chem].
It was reported by Krin et al. that the percentage of phosphorylated Enzyme IIAGlc is strongly reduced in glucose-grown wild type strains as compared to glucose-grown crp strains, with no significant difference in the amount of total Enzyme IIAGlc, i.e., phosphorylated plus unphosphorylated [Microbiology]. This finding however finds a partial explanation in the fact that glucose transport is much slower in crp strains as compared to wild type strains. Therefore, in crp strains, dephosphorylation of Enzyme IIAGlc by Enzyme IICBGlc is less effective leading to an increased concentration of phosphorylated Enzyme IIAGlc. Consequently, adenylate cyclase activation by phosphorylated Enzyme IIAGlc is more effective.
In agreement with the proposal that cAMP synthesis in crp strains is mainly dependent on phosphorylated Enzyme IIAGlc, Takahashi et al. reported that Enzyme IIAGlc is largely phosphorylated in crp strains grown in rich medium [PubMed]. Interestingly, the same authors also reported that addition of a wild type strain cellular extract to a crp strain cellular extract stimulates dephosphorylation of Enzyme IIAGlc. Therefore it was concluded that, in wild type strains, proteins whose synthesis is dependent on the CAP-cAMP complex may promote dephosphorylation of Enzyme IIAGlc. Unfortunately such proteins were not identified.
