Connor Godfrey firstname.lastname@example.com
The four years between 2009's "Middle Cyclone and The Worse Things Get, The Harder I Fight, The Harder I Fight, The More I Love You" (whew!) was a difficult time for Neko Case. She lost several relatives, which sent her into a downward spiral. Fortunately, she was able to pick herself up and create something inspired by that dark period of her life, and we are able to once again hear her beautiful voice that pierces through the atmosphere.
She also recruited the help of several musicians; one of them being M. Ward whose fantastic guitar work is featured on the album. His distinct style is certainly noticeable on the track "Man." The angry driving force of "Man" is something to behold with Case's powerful voice that manages to maintain its grace.
In fact, Case's "grace" increased tenfold for me when she sings to us "I am the man in the f***ing moon," even if one would suspect that it would have the opposite effect. However, I do think the use of profanity in the track "Nearly Midnight, Honolulu" is somewhat sloppy, and I feel the song is perhaps the weakest on the album. The track "Night Still Comes is right before Man"; a melancholy, catchy tune that makes for a nice contrast.
Nine tracks into "The Worse Things Get…" and I certainly began to feel the potential of a filler track coming up. That feeling was completely wrong, because Case put a cover Nico's "Afraid" there instead. The cover puts a building of tension throughout the album to a halt, and puts you on pause and into a quiet mood. Then, the tension that was welling up is released through "Local Girl" and its chorus. The next track "Where Did I Leave That Fire" provides a touch of abstract to the album. Another notable track is "City Swans", which brings me back to the old Neko Case where she quickens her voice in her signature fashion.
Case's past albums, while excellent, had become rather stale sounding to me. "The Worse Things Get…" has certainly refreshed the sound of Neko Case.

Mercedes-Benz 280SL
Between 1963 and 1971, Mercedes-Benz produced three variants of its SL: the 230, the 250, and this 280. The numbers refer to engine displacement (2.3 liters, 2.5; you get the idea), and SL stands for Sport Leicht (sporty, lightweight). But these cars were neither sporty nor light; their merits lie elsewhere.
These SLs were arguably the most civilized roadsters of their day. What they gave up in handling, they more than made up for with their silken ride, elegantly weighted steering, roomy cabins, and styling evocative of Newport mansions, and lots and lots of money.
Dubbed the Pagoda roadsters for their concave hardtop roofs (the car came as a convertible, a hardtop, or a convertible with a removable hardtop), the second-generation SLs are among the most understatedly beautiful cars Mercedes-Benz has ever produced. Our favorite is the 280, with its then-impressive horsepower (180 hp) and top speed (118 mph). SL purists contend that with the bigger engine came a softening of the suspension that dulled the car's handling, and what you really should get is a 250SL. We say phooey. The bigger engine and softer suspension made this car what it should have been from the start: a gentleman's roadster.
What to watch out for: Soft water hoses and leaky head-gaskets are a sure sign that the car you're looking at has an overheating problem – most likely the result of a previous owner using water instead of antifreeze coolant. Also, watch for rust in the door pockets and rocker panels.

Kenya Moore Net Worth 2014 – 2015: $1.8 Million
Kenya Summer Moore currently stars in Bravo TV's hit reality tv show "The Real Housewives of Atlanta", and she has done so since the 5th season when she appeared on the show for the first time. But this gal isn't just famous for starring on the highly rated reality show that features strong, hard working moms from the A, in fact, she has been an actress, producer, and a model practically all her life. She's now also an author, singer, and personal trainer as well, you can learn more about Kenya's most recent work and personal adventures at her official website www.kenyamoore.com.
Kenya Moore works hard, and you can tell by her work ethic that she really loves money, the girl is absolutely dedicated to her work and career, the best part is that at least she gets to reap the benefits, because a lot of people work hard, but very few actually ever achieve success. Sometimes success does not come from quantity, but from quality, and this just might be one of those cases. Anyway, Moore is one of the richest and most famous cast members of RHOA, according to About.com she's richer than Phaedra Parks, Lisa Wu Hartwell, Cynthia Bailey, Kandi Burruss, Sheree Whitfield, and others.
Kenya Moore has had quite an interesting career, in 1993 she won the Miss Michigan USA and Miss USA titles, and she finished in the top six of the Miss Universe pageant that same year. After winning several beauty pageants she started appearing on music videos, tv shows and films such as The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Sparks, Smart Guy, Living Single, Damon, The Jamie Foxx Show, Waiting to Exhale, Trois, Brothers in Arms, and more recently The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
But, how much is Kenya Moore really worth? According to several online media outlets and magazines Summer has an estimated net worth of $300 thousand, other sources believe that she's worth $1.5 million, however, after making our own calculations and taking into account the most recent information about her work, salary (300k per season) and earnings we have come to the conclusion that she might be richer than what most people think. We believe that Moore has a total fortune of $1.8 million dollars approximately.
Forbes Magazine has not ranked Kenya on their 100 Richest Celebrities list yet, but if they ever decided to include her we will update this page and let you know as soon as it happens.

OSMIA ORGANICS Perfume Oils
The Osmia Organics Perfume Oils are unlike most fragrances on the market. As you might expect from an organic brand, these are all decidedly nature-inspired: earthy, woodsy, smokey, etc. They're also literally nature-based – the components of each scent are made from nature itself (a fuller explanation of how they're made by founder Sarah Villafranco, MD here). Because they're natural, they don't induce headaches like so many artificial fragrances do. While many of them are quite strong scents, there's a "softness" to them. You can breathe them in effortlessly and they blend with the chemistry of your skin.
Product Preview: Three Zoya Nail Lacquers
SIBU Beauty Sea Buckthorn Balancing Facial Cleanser
When Sibu Beauty approached me to send a product for review, I had already heard rave upon rave about the brand. The cornertone of this cruelty-free line is sea buckthorn berry, which contains Omega 3, 6, 9, and the less common Omega-7. While I was interested in the brand, I also had my typical hesitation about new skin care. So many products can cause me break outs and once the acne starts appearing, it can take weeks for my skin to recover. I decided the safest introduction to the brand would be their Sea Buckthorn Balancing Facial Cleanser. Because I'd be washing it off immediately, I figured it would allow me to gauge my skin's reaction to the Sibu line before venturing into leave-on face creams. CONTINUE READING…

Metadata for Audio
Paper CD4-1
A System for Harmonic Analysis of Polyphonic Music
Claas Derboven, Markus Cremer
Fraunhofer IIS AEMT, Ilmenau, Germany
A system for harmonic analysis of polyphonic musical signals is presented. The system uses a transform with a nonuniform frequency resolution for the extraction of prominent tonal components and determines the key and the contained chords of a musical input signal with high accuracy. A statistical approach based on the frequency of occurrence of musical notes for determining the key is described. An algorithmic solution for chord determination is presented with a concise explanation. Finally, a qualitative evaluation of the system's performance is conducted to demonstrate the applicability to real world audio signals.

Make no mistake; this is not an April Fool's joke. If you manage to go on Google Maps sometime around April Fool's Day, you'll be able to transform the street of your choosing into a maze filled with power pellets and ghosts and play a classic game of Pac-Man. Whether you want Pac-Man to travel down Brady Street, circle around the North Point Water Tower, zoom across the Googleplex, see the sights at the Arc de Triomphe, or even surf the sands around the Great Sphinx, you can do all that and more through Google Maps.
This isn't the first time Google has incorporated video games into its search engine. Last year during April Fool's Day, you were able to catch Pokémon by searching around famous locations on Google Maps. And on May 21, 2010, the site celebrated the 30th anniversary of the iconic yellow circle by turning their logo into a working game of Pac-Man, which is said to have had around 505 million users playing it which wasted five million hours of working time and cost the economy around $120 million dollars.
Google's support page gives you clues on the best places to go for a game of Pac-Man (marked by a blue waypoint). But for those of you too busy (or lazy) to decipher the clues, I'm going to give you my personal best places on Google Maps to play Pac-Man (including ones suggested by google and ones that I have found myself). Just copy the addresses next to each entry and paste it into the Google Maps search bar to get to each map.
Our Beautiful Campus- University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
Experience college life through Pac-Man's eyes with this map based on our beloved campus. The tight paths, twists and turns, and the forks in the road allow us to better evade ghosts. But just like a freshman travelling through school on the first day, you can easily get lost and disoriented.
The White House- Washington, DC
Those looking for a more patriotic setting will feel right at home on this map. Much like UW-Milwaukee, the map features many twists and turns. However, it's a lot less cramped and tight than our campus, making for more strategic and less frustrating gameplay. If you find yourself getting stuck in the circles in Lafayette Field (at the top of the map), try hitting two arrow keys that are next to each other (like up and right). You can also move up diagonal paths this way.
Times Square- Manhattan, NY
After more outrageous and complex maps, the heart of the big apple provides a well needed respite. The familiar, wide, and grid-shaped structure is easy to navigate. However, the map is diagonal, giving the map a unique but accessible twist. Be careful not to get cornered by two ghosts on each side in the straightaways. Again, try hitting two arrow keys next to each other (like up and right) to go up a diagonal street. And if you go down a street and off the map, you can come out on the other side!
Shimokitazawa- Tokyo, Japan
This Tokyo neighborhood may look intimidating at first, but the mostly horizontal/vertical, grid-like layout of the map makes navigation easier than most other maps of this complexity. Be sure to click the blue waypoint for the best results.
I've found that the maps packed with rows and rows of streets (such as the parking lot of the Dodger Stadium in LA) to be too large for the ghosts to chase you, killing the challenge and making pellet collecting a chore. But because of the multiple areas where you can go off the map and warp to the other side, the map retains its high density of streets while also allowing the ghosts to catch you. The warp areas also give you a lot of opportunities to evade them, however.
I wonder if the power pellets are actually takoyaki?
Plaza Del Ejecutivo- Mexico City, Mexico
The uniform, spiderweb-like layout of this map makes it easier to plan movement, but executing those movements may be a bit tricky due to the diagonal streets. I find that holding the key of your desired direction before crossing a street you want to turn on allows your movements to be much more accurate.
And just like Shimokitazawa, the warp areas that take you to the other side of the map make it easier to evade ghosts but also makes it easier for the ghosts to ambush you.
Taj Mahal- Uttar Pradesh, India
India has given the world many great things: Mohandas Gandhi, yoga, Bollywood, tea, spices, chicken tikka masala, and the site for by far the best place to play Pac-Man. This is one of the few locations that provides a map that's similar to that of the original game. The symmetrical layout of the map makes strategizing movements far easier while the many corners and intersections allow for players to better evade ghosts while also allowing ghosts to better chase and ambush you, providing the perfect balance of accessibility and challenge. The only problem is that there are no power pellets, but the map is still a joy to play in.
This is a brilliant idea for Google Maps that is very well executed. While many locations provide better maps than other locations and the controls can be a bit finicky, the number of possible maps is staggering and the emulation of the classic game is spot on – right down to the personalities of the ghosts. And there's an undeniable charm of having Pac-Man travel down your favorite streets. Even if it costs the economy another $120 million, it will be well worth it.
The game will only be around for a little while longer, so play it while you can!

I Can't Remember Anything, by Arthur Miller (Comedy-Drama)
Starring Mitchell Ryan and Salome Jens
[Playing Time: 33:53]
(The widow of a man's best friend drops in every day. There are consequences)
Arthur Miller (1915-2005), recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, has come to be considered one of the greatest dramatists in the history of the American Theatre, and his plays, a fusion of naturalistic and expressionistic techniques, continue to be widely produced. In 1944, his first play, The Man Who Had All the Luck, opened to horrible reviews. In 1945, Miller published a novel, FOCUS, and two years later had his first play on Broadway, All My Sons. This play, his Death of a Salesman, View From the Bridge, The Crucible, After the Fall, and Incident at Vichy – among others – have become classics of dramatic literature. His screenplay "The Misfits" starred his then-wife Marilyn Monroe. He is notable too for having refused to "name names" before the House Committee on Un-American Activities. (On this subject, be sure to hear the SBTA production of Larry Parks' Day in Court, by Eric Bentley.) At age 89, Miller died at his home in Roxbury, CT of congestive heart failure.

C'mon all you Pk's. Post a message if you are
a PK in Diablo. I was just wondering how
many are here.
LoL http://discussions.hardwarecentral.com/biggrin.gif I doubt any PKs will post their names.. I've given up on Diablo but I loved tormenting PKs by trash talking to them as I watch them try to beat up on my LvL 44 Wizard with a measily ~160 HP.
First they'll try PKing ya then if they fail, they'll try to drop ya from the game with some lame bug exploit they downloaded.
1 word.. CHEAP
-=S_Klass=- I tweak... therefore I am.
uhhhh......what's pk?
A PK's a player killer. If you've played
Diablo online for about three seconds you
already knew that. And I didn't say they
had to post their Diablo names. I was just
wondering. Since my character is to weak
to fight a hacking PK I usually do one of two
things. I TP then sit there making fun of him
until he leaves. Or I fight fire with fire
and equip my edited bastard sword which gives
me a total damage of like 1500!!! Hehehe.
They don't stand a chance ;~)
Is it considered cheating to be a player killer or are you just branded an a-hole?

That is, it is an urgent >>> pointer, not urgent data, [...] > from what I understand, urgent data pointer does provide out-of-band > data processing (see stevens TCP/IP illustrated vol II, p 983). If Stevens says the urgent pointer facility provides an out-of-band data channel, then I'm sorry, Stevens is wrong. Read RFC 793. The urgent pointer marks a point in the data stream.

|Episode #68: Live at Fest 12
Welcome to a special episode of Rocket Fuel!
Now that Fest 12 is several weeks behind us
and everyone has recovered from their
hangovers and illnesses, let's take a look back
at the best party to happen each and every year.
While in Gainesville for Fest 12, I was able to
record a few interviews as well as an acoustic song.
I chatted with Sergie from Samiam, Knapsack and
Grievers and Matt from Old Flings, who did a joint
interview. Afterwards, Matt picked up his guitar
and played the Old Flings tune "Funeral Mixtape".
After that, I talked with the awesome New Jersey
band Banquets. During this team we talked about
the challenges of travelling to Fest, a "secret Torche
set", stealing pizza while in Gainesville and wrestling,
among other hilarious topics.
And lastly, I talk with the one and only John Reis
of Night Marchers, Rocket From The Crypt and
Hot Snakes, to name of few of his amazing bands.
We talk about what his band Night Marcers had
planned while in Florida (it turns out he doesn't
hate Florida!), the conventions of Rock n' Roll
and much more.
Check out this very special and fun episode!

State of Housing Rights in Spain
The Right to housing is guaranteed in the Spanish constitution (1978). Article 47 provides that one of the guiding principles of social and economic policy is the right of Spanish citizens to decent and adequate housing. Article 50 refers particularly to rights of citizens of older age, including access to housing. In terms of the Council of Europe, Spain has signed but not yet ratified the Revised European Social Charter of 1996 nor... More

In June 2016, the NGA joined the Asia Floor Wage Alliance (AFWA), a global coalition of trade unions, worker rights, and human rights organizations at the International Labor Conference in Geneva–demanding that the ILO help ensure that human rights cross borders.
The NGA has partnered with AFWA on a series of groundbreaking reports detailing human rights and labor abuses on global seafood and garment supply chains. The reports detail recommendations to improve working conditions worldwide, including a cross-border living wage. The NGA and AFWA, together with the rest of the Workers Conference Delegation, are pressing the ILO to move forward with setting global standards for supply chains that include wage protections, freedom of association, and freedom of migration.

Arenas and Wizards finally knock off the Heat
Saturday, November 28, 2009
MIAMI -- Gilbert Arenas's inability to win a game in 19 tries against Dwyane Wade was probably one of the most startling statistics of his seven-year stint with the Washington Wizards. He couldn't beat Wade in the regular season, in the playoffs, whether Wade had Shaquille O'Neal as a teammate or not. After returning to action following an almost two-year hiatus, Arenas again found himself on the losing end to Wade in two meetings earlier this month.
But in order for Arenas to finally defeat Wade, it didn't require an explosive offensive performance with highlight drives and jumpers. Arenas just needed to lean on Antawn Jamison, Nick Young and Earl Boykins, who carried the Wizards to a 94-84 victory at American Airlines Arena while Arenas spent the entire fourth quarter watching and cheering on the bench.
"For real? 0-19?" Arenas said with a laugh, then pressed his index finger against his lips. "Shhhh. I thought it was 0-12. [Things] never went our way."
But the Wizards (5-9) had a lot working in their favor on Friday night, as they won consecutive games for the first time since Feb. 20. Jamison scored a game-high 24 points with 13 rebounds. Young had another season high in his second start in place of the injured Mike Miller, finishing with 22 points and five assists.
More importantly, Young forced Wade to expend an inordinate amount of energy chasing him around on defense, leaving Wade gassed on the offensive end. After scoring a combined 81 points in the first two games against the Wizards this season, Wade was limited to just 18 points on 6 of 19 shooting.
"It feels good, I ain't going to lie. My goal was to keep him under 40," Young said, flashing a huge grin. "Just going out there with courage. I knew it was going to be a challenge for me. Them days without playing kind of hurt me, so I came out there with a chip on my shoulder."
The Wizards wore black tape on their uniforms in honor of Abe Pollin, the franchise's longtime owner who died on Tuesday at age 85 and was buried earlier Friday. Following an emotional week that included a spat between Arenas and Caron Butler, they won their first game within the Southeast Division after losing twice to Miami and once to Atlanta. They will host the Charlotte Bobcats Saturday night at Verizon Center.
"To come in and give a complete effort is satisfactory. It's been a tough couple of weeks to finally put things behind us and concentrate on the most important thing, which was basketball, says a lot," said Jamison, who missed the first two games against Miami because of a partially dislocated shoulder. "This is place that has been tough for us. But guys did a great job as far as keeping our composure."
Coach Flip Saunders credited Jamison for not letting his teammates crumble, as he scored 13 points in the first half and provided several pep talks throughout the game.
"That was something we missed. Not having him, some of these games might've been different story," Saunders said. "Not only his leadership, but his ability to hit big shots at the right time, get a key rebound. He's an emotional leader; he's always going to be there when you need him."
The diminutive Boykins (10 points, nine assists) also played a huge role in helping the Wizards snap a four-game losing streak in Miami, claiming their first win in this building since March 21, 2008. He entered the game for Arenas with 1 minute 57 seconds left in the third quarter with the Wizards holding a one-point lead.
Boykins quickly found Jamison for a fast-break layup to give the team a 67-64 after three quarters and he provided the finishing touches in the last two minutes. He found Andray Blatche (eight points, nine rebounds) for a layup, then pump-faked Heat guard Mario Chalmers, slid underneath him and made a 16-foot jumper to give the Wizards a 13-point lead with 52 seconds left.

Very interesting future idea.\\
Currently, I burn a CD of things I am working on.\\
It's only a small percentage of everything I have on\\
the system, never mind all the free downloaded software,\\
but also I make a copy of the desktop folder so if it gets\\
messed up by an inexperienced user, I can get things\\
back easier.\\
I can't see many flaws in it, but then people might have to refrain from making a high amount changes in the registry (and) system. It sounds kind of silly (what I am saying), but I think a back-up should occur a lot more than that. Or, perhaps, once every 48 hours, maybe. Yeah, at midnight, that'll work.]]>
But if my hard disk died it would be days of pain reinstalling, followed by months of "I used to have this set up just right", and I would be sure to lose some valuable data too.
So, I have this bright idea ... buy a new Hard Disk (they are not that expensive nowadays) and "mirror" onto it (have it as a copy of my current hard disk).
But how? There is "RAID", but that is complicated to set up, and what happens if the RAID card dies?
Another possibility is to create a full duplicate (programs like Norton Ghost can do that), this takes many hours (which is fine), but how do you then keep it up-to-date? Say you install some new software, or upgrade something, there will be changes all over the place, files, registry, etc.
It would be nice if you could just run some software that copied ALL changes, say every midnight.
If that could be done, then if your disk fails, you just swap to the other disk and carry on! Likewise if you get a virus or accidentally delete a file, you can access the midnight backup.

Apart from using a reliable penis ring, here are ways to achieve that endurance during lovemaking.
There's been a lot of buzz about "wonder" products in the tradition of Viagra, and mechanical tools that are akin to what a penis ring or a similar cock and balls toy (CBT) does. And there has been some positive correlation; a study published in the Journal of Sexual Medication, for instance, showed that medications helped extend the length of time men could go before they reach orgasm.
But what you should is that there has not been a true "magic pill" to help you go all night. Researchers, for one, emphasize that it's hard to determine whether the medication was actually responsible for the orgasm delay or not (before of a lack of placebo).
There are tips, though, that cannot get any simpler and more practical. A horse shoe cockring may be a fine thing, but have you explored these techniques sourced from Men's Health yet?
1. Squeeze Technique – Here's how to do this: as soon you feel close to coming, stop stimulation and squeeze right below your penis head. Focus the pressure on the urethra, or the tube running along the underside of your penis, because doing so will repress your ejaculatory response temporarily. Once the arousal dies down, repeat this technique a few more times before climaxing.
2. Stop-Start Technique – According to Debby Herbenick, a sex researcher at Indiana University and author, you have to get used to building your arousal to where you are almost at the point of no return. It's simple: start stimulation, but simply pause for a brief moment as soon as you feel that you are getting too aroused (5 to 10 seconds are recommended). Let your arousal subside, and then release after repeating this technique a number of times.
3. Wear-a-Rubber Technique – Another method for pushing back your ejaculatory response is wearing a desensitizing condom. The trick is benzocaine, a desensitizing lubricant that can help you buy some more time enjoying the sexual sensation. But remember not to put the condom on inside out, as the substance will end up inside your lady's vagina.
If you want to stick to your favorite cock ring, just keep important reminders in mind. To stay safe, avoid wearing cockrings for extended periods of time (like in your sleep), and remove the ring at the first sign of numbness, cold genitals, pain, and extreme swelling and discomfort. Follow the instructions on the package label in order to use the penis ring for maximum benefits and safety value.

Lost Garden are a dark ambient (or pick your own genre!) duo performing quasi-improvised instrumental pieces. The line-up is Jan Gilhooley (A Collection Of Notes) and Nick Robinson (ex Dig Vis Drill, Typhoon Saturday and 25 years of solo looping).
The two musicians meshed beautifully (often impossible to identify who plays what!) and compare the performance process to "painting with sound" where dynamics and timbre are key elements. They used keyboards, guitars and loops to improvise pieces – captured and taken back to the "studio" for re-arranging, mixing and post-treatment.

I'm so glad you're here, reading my blog! However, I can't tell you EVERYTHING about the area — there's just too much to tell!
So I'm happy to share. Here are 11 pretty great sites for information about the Smoky Mountain area. Some of these are where I go to get information, too. If you follow my links very often, they will look familiar! Enjoy!
1. High on LeConte.
I love, love, love this blog. It's written by the caretaker at LeConte Lodge, which is way up on Mount LeConte. It really doesn't have a lot of information, but there are always beautiful photos and updated info about the weather up on the mountains. It's neat to see how different things can be up there. (And if you've never head of the it, you should read this information about the LeConte Lodge. It's the super-primitive lodge that hikers can access. No vehicles! They bring supplies up on LLAMAS! Neat, huh?)
2. Hiking in the Smokies.
If you are thinking about doing any hiking while you're in Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge, visit this site. It has information about each and every hike in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It will give you detailed instructions on how to find the trailhead, lots of info about what to expect on the hike, and a rating of how difficult the hike is. I strongly, strongly recommend checking out any hike you're planning to attempt on this site first.
3. PigeonForge.com.
If you're looking for information about attractions and upcoming events, this is a great stop for you. There are a TON of blogs written about this area, but many, many of them are not kept up-to-date at all. This is one of the good ones. Read it!
4. GoSmokies.com.
This is basically a social media site dedicated completely to the Great Smoky Mountains. It's sponsored by The Knoxville News. You can become a member, or just read what other members write. I love to find first-hand stories on this site! Great for browsing.
5. Great Smoky Mountains National Park Podcasts & Blog.
Do not expect this one to be updated often — it just plain isn't. But there are occasionally some really neat things on here. Some of my favorites have been videos of the changing seasons set to music. But you'll find all kinds of things. And there is an extensive amount of info available when you browse the categories.
6. The Smoky Mountain Hiking Blog.
This is definitely the best blog I read regularly. This guy is just ON TOP of things. I'm always finding things I missed on his blog. He sometimes updates several times a day! So impressive. Check it out, or add it to your RSS reader, to keep on top of anything happening in the Great Smokies.
7. Cabin Fever Blog.
This is one of the few good commercial blogs. Yes, they are trying to rent cabins. So keep that in mind. But they also have some good information about area attractions and events. Check it out.
8. Friends of the Smokies.
This is a neat website. Not only is it used to raise money to help preserve the Great Smoky Mountains, they also organize volunteer events, so you can help maintain trails, etc. This is a neat place to look if you want to spend a few hours giving back on your next Smoky Mountain trip.
9. Gatlinburg website.
This is the official Chamber of Commerce website. (Sometimes it's difficult to figure out which one is the official one…) Here, you can find info about Gatlinburg attractions, restaurants, lodging, and more. Plus, there's a great calendar, with info about upcoming events.
10. Pigeon Forge website.
Again, this is the official one. Basically, similar theme to the Gatlinburg site, but with Pigeon Forge info.
11. MyPigeonForge.com.
And this is the official "touristy" website. Really, you'll find more info here than on the Chamber website. Keep an eye out — this site is known for putting on contests!
What about you? What sites do you visit for info on the Smokies? (Other than CabinConnection, of course!)

Iowa safety officials want drivers to focus on the road, so they're focusing on putting some teeth into laws regarding distracted driving. We think they're on the right road.
All sorts of things qualify as distracted driving, of course: Putting on makeup, reaching for food or drink, tuning the radio, talking on the cellphone.
But the chief problem state officials have identified is texting, and Iowa Department of Public Safety officials say they plan to push for ways to strengthen enforcement of current state laws.
They will ask legislators in the coming session to add a distracted-driving subsection to existing law dealing with failure to maintain control of a vehicle, a moving violation with the fine and costs amounting to about $200.
You may wonder why this is necessary since Iowa already bans texting for all drivers and bars teenagers operating under restricted or intermediate licenses, as well as instructional or school permits, from using cellphones or electronic devices while driving. That violation is a simple misdemeanor carrying a $30 fine, although it can go higher if property damage, injury or death are involved.
But current law only is enforceable as a secondary action when an officer stops or detains a driver for a suspected violation of another motor vehicle law.
Sgt. Scott Bright, spokesman for the Iowa Department of Public Safety, said the legislative proposal to expand the statute regarding failure to control would make distracted driving a primary offense — meaning an officer could fine the driver for that offense without any other violation occurring.
Officers also would have more discretion when such activity appears to be causing unsafe driving such as swerving.
That's not always the case now. Currently, officials say, in the event of a crash it's hard for the investigating officer to "define and prove" the driver was distracted. Making distracted driving a primary violation would make such situations easier for law enforcement to address.
There's no question that texting is a culprit in highway safety. Data increasingly points to distracted driving, and particularly texting, as dangerous.
Nationally, 3,328 people were killed in crashes involving distracted drivers in 2012, according to federal officials. Iowa — with more wide-open spaces and much less traffic than more populous areas — still has recorded 81 deaths associated with inattentive or distracted driving from 2003 to 2013, including six deaths in the current year. Nearly four out of 10 accidents and 27 deaths in the crash data involved the use of a phone or other device.
With that hard evidence on the books, we'd like to think that doing anything to reduce fatalities and injuries would be prudent on the Legislature's part. But that may not be the case.
Gov. Terry Branstad says no decision on the issue has been made by him and his staff regarding the administration's legislative proposals.
Chairmen of the House and Senate Transportation committees say while distracted driving is on their 2014 radar, it's unclear whether a consensus will develop on how to address the problem legislatively. We believe them, though we can't imagine why.
House Transportation Committee Chairman Josh Byrnes, R-Osage, makes an interesting point, saying he's a "firm believer that as the technology increases, technology can solve the problem."
He said an application downloaded on his 16-year-old daughter's cellphone prevents the use of the device while she's driving.
Interesting. But we still believe strengthening the law by making distracted driving a primary offense is a better tool.
Patrick Hoye, a former Iowa State Patrol chief and now chief of the Iowa Governor's Traffic Safety Bureau, says it's working elsewhere.
"States that are getting a handle on distracted driving are seeing their fatalities come down," Hoye said.
"I think there is a direct correlation to states that are addressing distracted driving and reduction of fatalities. There is a strong correlation there."
And we think a strong reason for the Legislature to act on the issue in the coming session.
Public safety officials know best. Lawmakers should heed their advice.

The little TV I watched as a child typically occurred in other peoples' homes on Friday nights, Saturday afternoons, and Sunday mornings. My grandfather loved putting on the wrestling matches in the late 70s to early 80s to nap to on Saturday afternoons after a morning of yard work. He loved catching Randall Poffo, aka Randy Macho Man Savage, wrestle in his younger years, often stating: 'Oh, his old man was a good wrestler right there'. Later on, in the 80s, he'd let me stay up with him and watch the Saturday Night Main Event during the hey day of the WWF, waiting for Randy Poffo.
Late Sunday mornings were marked by the occassional wrestling match as well after church and breakfast. You can imagine the confusion I had watching Andy Kaufman wrestle, taunting southerners, Jerry The King Lawler, and the camera during my earliest memories of wrestling-watching with my grandfather. Afterall, at that point, I only knew Andy as Latka, the funny talking character actor on the hit TV show my dad enjoyed watching, Taxi. Andy's performance art attack on wrestling, and everything it encompassed at that time (American hillbillies, the south, wrestling, comedy, etc.) is the core beginning and end of my understanding for performance art and comedy. Wrestling is as old as the Bible, if not older, so to witness the mockery of such a sport at an early age by someone so far ahead of his time with regards to comedy and performance art may explain why I believe all sports are jokes and that the jokes are often funnier, scarier, and truer than one would want to believe. The core of Kaufman's wrestling performance art expressed nothing more than a desire to be hated, which is admirable and harder to achieve than being loved. For in wrestling, like life, there are good guys and bad guys but it takes a lot more energy, time and tons of talent to want to be hated as ficticiously as Andy Kaufman attempted. And succeeded.

When I started blogging I wanted a unique name, a handle that no one else at all had, so after much research I picked "Improbulus" (yes it's male, but the female form sounds odd(er)!). Absolutely no one else was using this name on the Internet at the time - "Improbulus" is a Latin adjective which I decided to use as a name.
A few months later, in 2005, I noticed that someone else had adopted the name I'd made up, added another word after it, and was going round posting rabidly right-wing rants all over the Net under the name "Improbulus Maximus".
I was slightly annoyed that someone else had appropriated my carefully chosen name, but apart from adding one comment on the Daily Kos to point out that he wasn't me, I left it alone. If you search just "Improbulus", my writings ranks much higher than his anyway.
However, someone has begun posting comments on various blogs and sites asking if self-avowed liberal-hating Jim Adkisson, who recently opened fire at a children's performance in a Unitarian Universalist church in Tennessee killing 2 people and seriously injuring several others (more news reports), is Improbulus Maximus.
I've absolutely no idea if Adkisson is or is not this "Improbulus Maximus". But just in case there's any question about it, I want to make it crystal clear that I'm not "Improbulus Maximus" and "Improbulus Maximus" certainly isn't me.
Adkisson is a male American from Tennessee; "Improbulus Maximus" seems to be a pro-gun, racist homophobe (as does Adkisson). Anyone who's met me will confirm I'm a female Brit in London. Plus, I'm libertarian (more than liberal), I believe in people's right to defend themselves but think guns and knives should be much harder to come by because they too easily lead to fatalities which could and should be avoided, and I'm very much in favour of racial equality and LGBT rights. And gender equality. So he's my absolute anti-thesis. Whoever he is. Which is most emphatically not me!

PAPEETE, Tahiti – El Salvador's bid for a second straight FIFA Beach Soccer World Cup semifinal berth fell one game short when it lost to Spain, 2-1, in a quarterfinal at To'ata Stadium on Wednesday night.
Antonio Mayor scored the game-winner with 2:32 left in the third period on his second bicycle kick goal of the tournament, helping the European champion advance to a semifinal encounter against Brazil.
Spain took a 1-0 lead midway through the first period as Llorenc Gomez leaped over Elmer Robles to score on a header directly off a throw-in.
The Salvadorans equalized with 59 seconds left in the second quarter, when Walter Torres put away a penalty kick.
El Salvador's dreams of duplicating its performance in the 2011 tournament, when it finished fourth after losing to eventual champion Russia in the semifinals, were dashed by Mayor's late heroics.

from The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 4th Edition
- A city of central Poland west of ŁódŻ. An ancient settlement dating possibly to the second century A.D., it passed to Prussia in 1793, Russia in 1815, and Poland in 1919. Population: 109,000.
Sorry, no etymologies found.
Uncertainty in the euro area is also likely to damp demand for Central European goods and to discourage investment by Western European firms in the region, Mr. Kalisz said.
"We can expect weaker growth in Central Europe at least until next year," said Piotr Kalisz , a Warsaw-based analyst for Citigroup.
"It's always better to save some for next year," Mr. Kalisz added.
The upper end of the range of Poland's 2011 privatization revenue, about $11.4 billion is a "big number," said Piotr Kalisz , chief economist at Citi Handlowy in Warsaw.
Active as a youth leader in 1938, she later moved to Kalisz and joined her friends in the Hakhsharah, staying there for more than a year training towards aliyah.
A short while later the family moved to Kalisz and lived on the beautiful, elegant Alia Jozefina Street.
Janina David, born in 1930 in Kalisz, Poland, was nine when the Germans invaded.
At the time of the German invasion of Poland in September 1939, Kempner was staying in Kalisz.
Vitka Kempner was born on March 14, 1920 in the county-town of Kalisz (Kalisch), western Poland, one-third of whose population was Jewish.

Exist's any way to get out an VAC ban?
Like pay the game again or something like that? Idk why i was banned i come from army today and i get banned.
Some people on my house use my PC so maybe they cold use without i know...
But i myself never cheat i dont like that.
I dont want lose this account any way i get an help?
account security is your responsibility, that means no one else is to be blamed than yourself if the account is used for cheating, which is what it must have been, since you have a vac ban. To answer your question, Exist's any way to get out an VAC ban? no, unless it is a false vac ban then there is no way out of it.
No, there is no way to get out a legitimate ban. Legitimate bans don't require you to be the one who got detected. If someone used your account and got banned, then that is on you.
That being said, you won't lose your account. You simply lose the ability to play online for that game.
and be forever shamed when ever someone looks at your profile
Have you used Cheat Engine for anything?
SteamDB can literally do nothing to help people remove VAC bans. Not much point keeping this alive. Go make a support ticket in Steam. https://support.steampowered.com

Oral health is very important for a good health. Specially for kids it needs more attention and care. Childern don't know much about it because they are not aware of it. They love to play in mud, sand eat a lot of choclates and confectionary if parents will not care about their childern health then kids will get sick. Here are a couple of tips for your childern tooth and oral health.
Tip-1 Select a right toothpaste first for your kids, you can consult your doctor but I will suggest to get a blue to red toothpaste because ingrediants will be natural and medicine for oral health.
Tip-2 Select a right toothbrush for your kids; select soft medium in small length because if you will select a long brush that can be hurt kids gullet.
Tip-3 You should make habits of your kids to brush their teeth twice in a day. Its very important for their oral health give kids proper training, guidance and teach how they should brush their teeth. After a couple of lecturers they will expert in it.
Tip-4 Offer them less confectionary and choclates; I know kids love sweets you can give them fruits instead of confectionary (artificial flavoured and ingrediants) fruits will provide them more energy and good for their health. you can make a fruit salad cocktail and observed which fruit your kids like the most this is an easy way to know the kids choice.
Tip-5 Don't provide mouth-wash to you kids because kids are not expert to use such kind of stuff.
The important thing is to aware your kids about their oral health through funny pictures and videos. I am sure this kind of tips will help you to care your childern teeth.

The first tracks from the LP were recorded indoors of the hospital with the use of an iPad, different tape recorders and instruments brought there by friends of Victor. These recordings were later arranged into full tracks. This LP has a nature of a diary where the tracks are somewhat like notes that have to be read in awhile when things pass. It was also highly inspired by traveling across Russia and by its beautiful nature and people that were a part of this journey. However a few tracks are glorious flashbacks connected with a year spent in the State of Indiana, USA.

Kick10 / Creeptone / Module One
Victor Kiktenko of Rostov, Russia started to immerse into music at the age of 14 . His new interest was taken from an underground community of musicians and street artists of his hometown Novocherkassk. Playing his first DJ set in a local club Attika, he defined his goals for the future. In two month he becomes a resident DJ of a local club Krystall where he works ilegaly considering the fact of his age and plays some gigs at different public events. The next year Victor goes to the US as a student and presents his radioshow Emotions on WMRS 107.7FM (Monticello, IN) where he plays all kinds of modern electronic music. After all, the new horizons were opened. Victor starts to get more recognition in his own country based on his radio show in the US. By that time he created his first solo production project – Creeptone. Doing some recording work, Creeptone releases his tracks on labels like System Recordings, Polytechnic recordings and the label of his Russian mates IB Digital. Mostly all of the early works by Creeptone were influenced by music heard during the DAR Sessions held in Rostov by Denis A. In the next few years Victor gets back to his roots and switches his attention to Detroit-influenced Deep House and Techno music. He creates his second alias Kick10 specially for these kinds of music. As Kick10 Victor has some releases on labels like Centric Music, Pleasure Garden. After his work as Kick10, the third alias was created. Module One is dedicated specially to Detroit and Berlin flavored Techno music, ambient and experimental electronica. Right now Victor works on his Module One productions that have gained a lot of interest from the side of his colleagues with releases on labels like Traum Schallplatten and Tulipa Recordings, Labrynth and Bullet:Dodge and his own platform Relay.

Hi , I am using QNAP TS119 NAS and have just updated to the latest firmware V-3.2.3 build 0212T which has Twonky Media Server - 5.1.2
I have connected my NAS directly to the router (O2) and also the PS3 is wired to the router. On my Mac laptop with snow leopard, when I access the Twonky Media server configuration page I can see the PS3 is connected in the Media receivers . However, my PS3 is unable to find the Twonly Media.
I can access all my videos and music + pics on the laptop wireless and also on the iphone through Twonky
I have enabled the UPnP both on the server and PS3. The network setting on the PS3 also has the media server connection enabled and the internet connection setting also has UPnP enabled. I can access the internet on PS3 and watch BBC and also I can stream to ps3 from my laptop through VUZE, which PS3 recognizes.
With the previous version of firmware and Twonky Media I did not have any problem with accessing my media files on the PS3 and with PS3 finding the Twonky.
I have tried reinstalling the firmware on the NAS and also changed the default settings on the PS3 and tried the complete procedure again with no luck. I have also tried changing the navigation tree appearances on Twonky Media
This is really confusing me and since I use my PS3 for streaming through NAS ,inability to do so defeats the whole purpose of investing all my money for such purpose.
I would appreciate all your help.

Arsenal target Kostas Manolas looks set to join AS Roma
Arsenal are set to miss out on the signing of Kostas Manolas with the Greece international set to join Roma.
Media reports in Italy claim the 23-year-old centre-back arrived in Rome's Fiumincino airport from Athens on Tuesday morning and will undergo a medical later in the day.
Roma have reportedly agreed with Olympiacos a 13million euros (£10.4million) transfer fee for the highly-rated defender, who still has two years left in his contract with the Greek giants.
Manolas, who played four games at the World Cup for Greece this summer, attracted the attention of top European clubs, including Arsenal, following a solid 2013-14 campaign with Olympiacos.
He made 25 league appearances last season and scored three goals while he also featured in seven Champions League games for the Piraeus-based club.

As part of our family's commitment to eating more healthful and locally grown foods, we decided to purchase a share in a CSA. For the next 25 weeks, we'll be receiving weekly deliveries of various fruits and vegetables from the Wayward Seed Farm in Marysville, Ohio.
I'm excited about this for a number of reasons, especially because I'm looking forward to being jolted out of our comfort zone a little by being pushed to try new produce that I might otherwise pass up at the grocery store. Maybe I can inspire you to try some new things along the way?
As you can see, we received quite a variety of items this week, including several that we've never tried. These beauties are garlic scapes, the curling tops of garlic plants. Wayward Seed was kind enough to provide a recipe for garlic scape pesto which I'm anxious to try — perhaps on a grilled pizza. I'm also considering grilling some of them as a side with another meal.
This leafy green is better known as sorrel. I've not been able to find many recipes using this — most suggest using it in a soup or a sauce — but I think I might give it a whirl in a frittata, perhaps with some of the scallions we also received. If any of you have another suggestion, I'd love to hear from you!
We received three different varieties of lettuce this week, including this unknown lettuce. Does anyone know what this is called? I still need to wash it up and take a nibble to see how I might use it in a meal.
I was ecstatic to see these gorgeous, plump, juicy peas in our spread. I really want to highlight their fresh, sweet taste, so I'm envisioning incorporating them into some kind of light pasta dish.
And finally we have these just-picked, super sweet strawberries. I'm so thankful that Wayward Seed provides such awesome customer service. They actually forgot to give these to my husband when he picked up our weekly share, so they went out of their way to deliver them to our doorstep!
They're absolutely delicious, and I've already used a whole container to make strawberry muffins. Now I just need to decide how to use the rest. We've already made strawberry jam after a trip to our local U-pick farm last week, so I'm planning to freeze some and perhaps make a little strawberry ice cream.
Do you belong to a CSA or have you considered joining one?0

Out of all the Facebook marketing training tips I've learned the ones that have been most effective are the ones that account for both the balance of life and business.
Although Facebook is great for marketing your business it is even more effective for allowing others to build a rapport and trust with you.
However the marketing of the lifestyle that your business allows is vital.
In most cases people seek to start online businesses to generate a supplemental income to replace their current income.
Using the strategy of promoting your business while simultaneously showing how your business is allowing you to have a better, more fun lifestyle is usually a win win.
The area where many fall short of social media marketing is the social part. Often people are looking for the next best thing that they think people will flock to when people are actually looking for other people who they can learn from to have a thriving business while also having a life.
In the video below I map out a simple blueprint to follow to start building up your business and becoming more of an attractive marketer.
You will be able to attract other like minded business people rather than hunting all of them down by simply using Facebook the way it is supposed to be used.

When I was around seven years old, I saw a movie where they showed people donating their blood. I thought is was so cool and wanted to do that myself. I thought the idea of giving up some of your blood to save three lives was amazing. The first time I tried donating, I couldn't because I was a couple pounds under. I made me so sad. The next opportunity I had, I was able to donate. When Red Cross called me that summer and told me that I saved three lives, I was more than happy. I've donated three times so far, and each time I felt dizzy and my body started heating up and I almost passed out. For a lot of people, they would decide not to donate again, but that thought doesn't even cross my mind. I'm proud to be a blood donor.

Rosie O'Donnell has responded — in poetic fashion — to the headline firestorm prompted after she shared her opinion on the "Today" show that Lindsay Lohan shouldn't be heading back to work so soon.
"to me/working right now seems like a bad idea," Rosie wrote in a post on her site, reaffirming her position on the starlet, who is gearing up to play Elizabeth Taylor in the Lifetime movie "Liz & Dick," just weeks after she was released from formal probation with a California court.
"it is not about her talent/it is about her health/lindsay lohan needs help," Rosie continued of Lindsay, who is working on living a sober lifestyle, following battles with addiction.
Rosie went on to address Lindsay directly, writing "we believe in u/ur not alone/help is available/u r loved."
Mentioning many of the famous daughters and sons of Long Island, Rosie wrote that she has faith in Lindsay, but felt it was right to speak up, especially due to what happened with Whitney Houston.
"long way from there to here," she wrote, referring to Long Island and Hollywood. "the exact feeling i had/watching whitney houstons funeral in Newark/we all should have spoken up for her too."
The actress and former talk show host went on to note that she is pulling for Lindsay.
"lindsay lohan is worth saving/she is the only one who can do it/before it is 2 late/i hope she can finds her value - off camera," she wrote.
"and then - when she returns - on camera/she will wow us all/once more," Rosie added.

Take off
So you have a Facebook page. You've been told it's a necessity for any business that wants success online. You have a great cover image and you've told all of your friends to like the page. So now what do you do?
Well, clearly you need more fans. You need to get more people to click on that little like button. Of course, you're not entirely sure what those 'likes' do, but you know you need more of them. You've tapped your personal friends list out and none of your friend's friends are liking it, that leaves only one option left huh. Buy some likes!
For only $20 you can get an additional 500 Facebook likes on your page from a company in India or Thailand, and literally overnight your Facebook page fan-base has grown into a seemingly very popular page. Congrats.
Looks great huh, but take a look a little deeper into what you've actually just done to your brand and social media channel.
Target located!
Prior to buying those links, you had an engaged audience; a group of people who had liked your page because they related to you, your brand or your product/service. These are people who would actually care about what it is your page had to say.
Now, you have 500 additional people who don't know or care about your brand or message and will almost definitely never interact with your business in any tangible or business beneficial way. Now all your marketing efforts from this channel from now on will be touching people who will have no impact what so ever on making your business a success – aside from having a really cool looking counter of how many fans you have
Beginning the descent towards target
'But that's okay, because my updates will still reach the people who actually are interested, even though most are not, right?'
The Facebook algorithm work on a few different metrics – which combined are commonly known as EdgeRank. These metrics are Weight (the priority given to a certain type of post : photo, status, video, link etc), Affinity (how relevant your post is to your most interactive fans or friends), decay (how recent your post is) and more recently frequency (how frequent your account posts).
Lately, Facebook has been displaying content to fewer and fewer of your actual fan-base than in previous times. In the past, if you had 1000 fans and you sent a post out, a very significant portion of those fans would see your post, but this is changing.
Tests I've run on accounts with a large amount of followers is showing that even though you may have 1000 fans, your post is actually only showing up in the newsfeed of between 15-20% of them. This number becomes even less with the more fans your page has.
So even though you may have 20% of your fan base who are legitimate 'fans', and 80% who are paid likes, you cannot easily dictate which of these fans will be seeing your updates.
But it doesn't stop there. The reason for this decline in the reach of posts is to encourage page owners to participate in Facebook's 'Promote this post' function. This service allows a page owner to pay a fee in order to ensure their post is seen by their entire fan list.
Below is a screensot of how much it costs to promote a post to a fanbase of around 800 people (and their friends)
On average $16, which doesn't look too bad right? But considering most of these people reached will be 'fake' likes and friends of these fake likes, then what value does it really add to your brand?
Now, let's bump it up even further. What if you purchased a whole lot of these fake likes, or friends of the fake likes begin liking your page too. Keeping in mind that these fake Likes are often from developing countries (India, Indonesia etc.) and will likely have no real impact in sales to your business or effective promotion of your business.
Here is a screenshot of a page I look after with over 700,000 fans (real ones by the way). This is how much Facebook charge in order to reach that entire fan-base and their friends.
Now we're talking really big money to reach an audience that is not even really engaged. That $20 investment in fake likes just got very, very expensive huh.
Target destroyed
Fake likes may seem like an easy win initially, but in reality they are contaminating your leads, diluting your brand reach and making it more expensive for you to market online in the long run.
Buying Likes is not a social media strategy. It's pretty much loading up your social media asset with explosives and then flying it at high speed into a perceived target, and if you do that your social media strategy likely won't survive.

"basic bs without any proof"
the book contenr is what a normal person talk to 5 year old. There is no insight or valuable real lessons. the author doesn't seem to have real life knowledge. I want my refund.
Full of useful ideas to help you achieve your goals. As usual though, don't just buy and listen, you have to put these ideas into practise if you want to see results. I've already listened twice and taken notes and I will do so a third time. It's an inspirational listen!

Land below to go on trembling and shaking
While we think of the crust of the Earth beneath our feet as being solid it often trembles, shakes and quakes as it relieves itself of the ever-changing stresses that are stored elastically within its rocky skin.
Fortunately for us, big earthquakes are rare events. The last big Irish event was the earthquake that occurred under the Llyn Peninsula in north-west Wales on the morning of 19 July 1984. That quake measured 5.4 on the Richter scale and tremors from it were felt by people all along the east coast of Ireland.
The energy released during an earthquake event is quantified by a number on the magnitude scale devised by Charles Richter in California in 1935. Little tremors go largely unnoticed. Anything above 2.5 on Richter's scale is regarded as significant and there have been five such earthquakes in the Irish Sea area so far this year.
So why is the ground beneath us quaking? The answer lies in the last ice age that peaked about 22,000 years ago. In parts of south-west Ireland the ice was only about 100m thick but where the ice dome reached its maximum thickness off the north-east coast of Scotland the ice was well over 1km thick.
Sea level dropped dramatically to provide the water to make all that ice. Water is heavy so when sea level dropped part of the tremendous pressure on the sea floor also dropped. However, the weight of ice on the land introduced new pressures. It all happened over tens of thousands of years so the underlying rocks had time to slowly adjust to the new stresses and strains.
All of the ice melted relatively quickly some 11,600 years ago. Pressures on the land were relieved but pressures on the sea bed increased as sea level rose again. It happened so relatively quickly that the underlying rocks are still recovering. As pent-up stresses are relieved the ground shakes and we experience earthquakes.
As Ireland bobs up after being pressed down by the weight of ice the rebound is uneven: the island is tilting along an axis running from Donegal to Wexford with the coast of south Kerry sinking at the rate of some 5cm per century and north Antrim coast rising by some 10cm per century.
Experts in these matters reckon that our green and pleasant land will go on trembling, shaking and quaking for another 10,000 years before it reaches some kind of equilibrium and is still.

text: I, like many others have been following the Neo development with interest, but I still have some reservations. No, it's not about the quad band issue that so many here in the US feel compelled to complain about - I'm in Southern California and would be using T-Mobile. I am however in the aproximately 1% (allow me some exageration here) of the population of the Western world lacking a mobile phone. For me to get one requires considerable justification. For one, the extortionate situation in the US is a considerable barrier, although I'd almost certainly use T-Mobile pay-as-you-go which would cost me about $100/year (I make very few calls). On the other hand, the Neo does provide some considerable justification, but I have concerns about the screen size (even though it's 640x480, it's still tiny) and the ruggedness of the device and of course the device. The other phone I'm considering in preference which also runs OpenMoko is the UTC universal (plenty of options under 'Jasjar' on ebay). My requirements are: 640x480 (for suitably transcoded movies), runs Linux, wireless access and can make occasional phone calls. The UTC has the benefit of a physical keyboard, although the phone is relatively large - also means a larger screen. Also, its wireless is limited to 11Mbit (that's not such an issue though). One downside is although the device has near comprehensive Linux driver support, it isn't open hardware, and there could be issues (not that the Neo doesn't at present but those are being worked on). For price comparison, the UTC is about $350 and Neo is $450. Anyone willing to placate my concerns, or point out other phones that meet my requirements (must fill _all_ the requirements I listed, so please check carefully). As a final point, I'll note I'm a long (long) time embedded and ARM linux developer, so don't mind doing occasional work to improve either kernel or userspace stuff. Also, if you're following up, please don't uneccesarily quote signatures, taglines and bits you aren't responding to. Thanks in advance. -- Peter Naulls - peter at chocky.org | http://www.chocky.org/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- RISC OS Community Wiki - add your own content | http://www.riscos.info/
