Cyanogen Inc. has officially announced the stable version of Cyanogen Mod 10.2 which is based on Android 4.3, Jelly Bean. It all started with the CM10.2 nightlies, and then they launched the Milestone version then the RC version which was very stable in its own right. Now people can finally enjoy the perks of the Final stable version.. With the release of CM 10.2, the company is now shifting their focus onto the development of Cyanogen Mod 11 which is going to be based on Android's latest entrant, Android 4.4 KitKat. In the mean time, the team has also promised to release regular security patches and bug fixes for CM 10.2 even though their main focus would now primarily be on the release of CM 11 for which the whole world (including myself) have been anxiously waiting since it was launched along with the Google Nexus 5 on October 31st. For now, there is no concrete timeline as to exactly when we should get our hands on CM11 but we do hope to see a glimpse of it in the weeks to come. For those who are anxiously awaiting for it can do with the stable CM10.2 for the time. A lot of people have issues when they do not install proper version of GAPPS so make sure it is 10.2 compatible. Also make sure to back up your data before installing just to be on a safe side and also do drop in a few insights of your experiences. Cheers! [Download via...Read More
CyanogenMod 10.2 finally reaches stable stage
Google orders Cyanogen Inc. to remove Installer app from Play Store
In a recent turn of events, Google have told Cyanogen Inc. to remove their Installer app from the Play Store as according to Google, the app was apparently violating their terms of services. Even though the app that was recently just launched (about 2 weeks ago) is absolutely harmless, Google don't seem to have a very strong liking about the fact that an app that encourages an Android user to root their devices (that eventually ends up voiding the device's warranty) should NOT exist in the market and has been ordered to be removed immediately. The Installer app basically enables the ADB and directs user's to the desktop installer in order to complete the custom CyanogenMod ROM installation process. The company had no choice but to honor Google's demands and hence have removed the app from the Play Store. For those who were not able to initially get their hands on it can easily download it from the website. Even though we do feel sad for the poor chaps, but if Google tells you to do something……you very well have to do it. Right? Download Link: CyanogenMod...Read More
Cyanogen Mod gets new Boot loader Logo, CM 11 to soon follow
The developers at Cyanogen Inc seem to be working their socks off to release the stable version of CM 10.2 (Android 4.3 Jelly Bean) and the first nightly of CM 11 (Android 4.4 KitKat). CM 10.2 has already released the RC version, which is basically a step below final stable release. Anyways what has gotten our attention though is that CM have started to show glimpses of their new CM 11, with the change of their Boot loader logo. It can be found in the recent nightly updates of CM 10.2 as well. Cyanogen Inc. have confirmed that the official CM 11 release is not so far off, but if you can not wait then there is an Unofficial CM 11 beta version as well. The new Boot loader logo looks really cool, what do you guys...Read More
The Samsung Galaxy Gear gets web browsing support with latest custom ROM, New features also added
These days custom ROM's can been seen running on almost every other rooted device that comes across and after seeing the success of Samsung's first smart watch, the Galaxy Gear that was recently unveiled as a tag along accessory for the Galaxy Note3 is all set to receive its very own customized ROM thanks to our hardworking friends at XDA. The ROM brings with it a host of new features (those who have custom ROM running on a rooted device would probably be knowing about them) and also adds an important little flavor to the otherwise quite impressive GALAXY GEAR which is the ability to browse the web using its built in Bluetooth tethering option. Even though the Gear is able to run a variety of different apps, the one feature that it lacked was the ability for the user to browse the internet on it; but things are about to change with this handy new feature. Instead of connecting to the phone to collect data that the Gear app sends, the ROM allows the device to be connected using Bluetooth tethering with another device (phone/phablet/tablet) that supports the Bluetooth tethering option. Given the device's 1.6-inch screen, its very difficult to say as to exactly how you would be able to browse and enjoy the full perks of the web on such a small screen. The ROM also brings another good feature worth mentioning (that was previously missing with the device's launch) is the ability to change wallpaper's. FEATURES OF THE CUSTOM ROM MK7 BASE ROOTED SUPERUSER COMPLETELY DEODEXED NOVALAUNCHER INCLUDED HOMEBUTTON FIX / POWER BUTTON LOCKS SCREEN WHEN USING CUSTOM LAUNCHERS. NO WIPE BASE WEATHER WIDGET / REMOVED STATIC "WEATHER" TEXT DISABLED SAMSUNG SIGNATURE VERIFICATION NATIVE APK INSTALLATION INCREASED VIDEO RECORDING LIMIT TO 60 SECONDS VPN ENABLED CM10.2 BROWSER WALLPAPER SUPPORT LIVE WALLPAPER SUPPORT CM10.2 GALLERY THIRD PARTY CONTACT WIDGET & APP CRASH FIX SETTINGS / FULL SETTINGS DIALOG MTP SUPPORT / ENABLED IN STORAGE SETTINGS BLUETOOTH TETHERING MULTIPLE BLUETOOTH DEVICE PAIRING NATIVE EMAIL CLIENT CONTACTS SYNC CALENDAR SYNC PLAYSTORE ACCESS DOWNLOAD MANAGER If you're also one of those who is willing to take a risk and root your device can head on over to the XDA Forum and download the customized ROM now but as with all other rooted devices, we would advice you to only go through with it at your own risk. Let us know of your browsing experiences next time you decide to stop by. Cheers!! Download...Read More
Cyanogen Inc. to bag out three HUGE surprises – AirPlay Mirroring, CM11, New OEM Partner
Cyanogen Inc. has started the day with some amazing news, three of them actually on their Google+ account. A new apk, news for their upcoming Custom ROM and a teaser that has made everybody start guessing. Get the whole low down below: Cyanogen Inc. Joins Hands with a Mystery Partner: According to sources Cyanogen has confirmed that they have a new hardware partner. Meaning a OEM running a CM ROM out of the box. This is great news for the developer community as we have all, known and loved the customization possibilities the CM ROMs provide. They were not willing to give any more hints as to who the new partner is, but according to rumors there is a high chance it could be Oppo, as they already have a device that comes with CM ROM out of the box, the Oppo N1. CyanogenMod (CM) 11 in Final Stages: Cyanogen Inc. has confirmed that their new CM 11 ROM is under final stages and will be available as a nightly very soon. The post on Google+ was: We are in the final preparation stages for CM 11 nightlies as well – you crackflashers will have something to play with soon. For those who do not know CM 11 is based on the all new Android 4.4 KitKat OS. If you want to have a feel of it there is an unofficial CM11 build that you can try out. Be warned though it is a bit buggy. AirPlay Mirroring and Screen Recording Test apk: The developers at Cyanogen Inc. have been busy building ROMs and apks. Recently they have come out with a test version of a screen recording app and AirPlay Mirroring which is similar to Miracast found on most high end devices. This basically helps you display whatever you are seeing on your device on a bigger screen, when connected on the same wireless network. Even though the apk is still in beta testing stage, you can have a crack at it from the download link below. The screen recording function will be good for people who like to make tutorial videos or How to's for people who need the occasional help. Their official post stated: To use screen recording, it is very similar to screenshots. Instead of volume down + power (screenshot), press volume up + power. A notification will pop up that notifies you that your screen is being recorded. You can enable showing touches, and also stop the recordings. Recordings are saved to /sdcard/MirrorRecordings. To use airplay mirroring, go into Settings, displays, Wireless Displays. It will scan for airplay devices. Pick one, and it will mirror your screen....Read More
How to get the Android 4.4 KiKat Transparent Status Bar
Android 4.4 KitKat is the elusive candy for most users at this point in time, with users starting to very slowly but gradually get the updates. Well if your one like me who just can not wait for anything official to come and is not afraid to tweak your device, then my friend you have come to the right place. What sets apart Android 4.4 from the older versions is the subtle white color instead of the blue and most of the stuff has become transparent, including the status and notification bars. If you too want your device to have transparency all over then just follow the below steps: (Remember your device has to be Rooted and running a custom ROM like CM) Install Xposed Installer Open the Xposed app and go to Downloads Download Gravity Box Go to Framework in Xposed app Click on Install/Update Then go to modules where you can see Gravity Box and tick the check box. Restart/Reboot your device Go to Gravity Box App and start tweaking. To make the status bar transparent head on over to the Transparency Manger Mode and use the slider to adjust it. Voila Now you have a transparent status bar! Remember you can even make the notification bar transparent so just tweak away! To get the FULL Android 4.4 KitKat experience, download GEL (Google Experience Launcher) and the Android 4.4 KiKtat Theme for CM (This works will all custom ROMS who have an option to change themes in settings) from the Google Play Store. The settings seen on the pics are very close to what actual Android 4.4 KitKat looks like: Again do this on your own risk, We will not be responsible for anything happening to your device during this process. Have attached a few snaps to help you out how the final thing looks like. So go ahead and share with us what tweaks do you come up with to make your device all the more awesome!

How more clearly, could the General have worded his message to the Troops? Alas, by the time it went from the Officers through the long chain of command to the Diggers and reached the four thousandth five hundred and first person, at the end of the line, it came out as: " Send three and fourpence, we're going to a dance!"

"Dave, are you an asset or are you a liability?" a friend once asked. I was home from college during a break, talking with him about my walk-on status on the college basketball team. I immediately got defensive. "Of course I am valuable to the team," I reassured myself. "I work hard, and I show up everyday." My basketball career eventually ended, yet I still reflect on his question. Working hard and showing up are not enough to constitute value in the working world, and they shouldn't be…Continue

Shine light on nightclub brawl
Shine light on nightclub brawl
Innocent until proven guilty is a hallmark of our judicial system. But for citizens to have confidence that justice is served, the judicial process must be open and transparent.
Which is why a clerk magistrate's review of the events of May 26 involving off-duty, off-Cape police officers at a Hyannis nightclub must pass the sniff test.
If it doesn't, expect allegations of police cover up.
Duane Alves of South Yarmouth, a disc jockey, claims at least three officers from off-Cape departments assaulted him inside the Steak House Sports Bar while the officers were on the Cape for a conference of the New England Narcotic Officer's Association.
According to Alves, the officers accused of beating him — whose names and departments have not been released — were among the witnesses called to a magistrate's hearing in Barnstable on Nov. 10.
The clerk magistrate determines whether there is sufficient evidence for a charge to go forward. But a spokeswoman at the court said that information about clerk magistrate hearings are not public and no information could be released.
If no charges are brought forward, then the clerk or Barnstable police should clearly explain the circumstances.
'So it was good'
In the past seven weeks, a Nantucket police dispatcher and a Dennis police officer have saved the lives of two babies.
On Oct. 3, dispatcher Hillary Ray received a frantic 911 call that an 11-month-old child was having a seizure, had stopped breathing and was turning blue.
Ray calmly walked the baby's mother through the process of performing CPR. The baby's breathing was restored even before police and EMTs arrived on the scene.
On Nov. 16, Ray received the department's life-saving award, granted "for an act performed in the line of duty which through prompt and alert action, results in the saving of a life."
The very next day, Dennis police officer Nicholas Patsavos dislodged a candy wrapper from the throat of a choking 9-month-old baby at a home on Depot Road.
Patsavos performed back thrusts on the baby, which pushed the candy wrapper up from the child's throat.
"I have an 11-month-old, and I was looking at the 9-month-old, thinking about my own," he said. "So it was good."
Patsavos said any officer would do the same thing. "We are trained, and we go into crisis situations all the time."
Patsavos should receive an award like the one Ray received. Congratulations to both public servants for a job well done.
Keep an eye on Pilgrim
After what Senate President Therese Murray told us about the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, we're not very confident in its oversight of the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station.
Following the review of an emergency shutdown of the plant in May, which will lead to increased oversight, an NRC team cited inadequate enforcement of operating standards, failure to follow procedures and ineffective operator training.
At an editorial board meeting with the Times on Nov. 9, Murray said dealing with the NRC is "frustrating beyond belief."
She said she and state Attorney General Martha Coakley have requested important information from the plant related to spent fuel rod storage and backup systems and the NRC simply denies their requests.
As far as relicensing Pilgrim, Murray said the NRC "has to have far more oversight before relicensing. They need to ask: What have you fixed? What are the backups?"

Cultural economy & popular music in Melbourne
Melbourne is Australia's premier 'music city', with popular music a key component of its contemporary identity and cultural economy. Drawing on a range of sources and disciplinary frameworks, this project is both a history of the pop and rock music scenes in Melbourne from the mid-1950s to the present, and an analysis and critique of the usefulness of the concept of the 'music city' to understanding the role of popular music in the cultural economy of cities internationally. As governments and civic leaders around the world increasingly look to music cultures as drivers of economic development and cultural status, the project offers a timely evaluation of the utility of this cultural and economic strategy.

Saving Grace
a tough cop has an invisible angel in tow
Type of Pilot: Cop Drama
Similar Shows: The Closer, Joan Of Arcadia, Book Of Daniel
The Inner Light: "The Closer With An Angel"
Strengths: Holly Hunter is a great lead.
Weaknesses: It's just "The Closer" with an angel. Is that enough to make me watch?
Impressive Characters: Grace Hanadarko. She's drinks. A lot. She sleeps around. A lot. She's doesn't respect authority, and she's a good cop. She's flawed, to say the least, but that makes her a great central character in a TV show.
Impressive Actors: Holly Hunter is great. So is Leon Rippy as the angel.
Less-Than-Impressive Characters: With the exception of the guy she's sleeping with, the rest of the guys in her squad get very little screen-time in the pilot
Less-Than-Impressive Actors: The pilot gives almost no screen time to Gregory Norman Cruz & Bailey Chase. Maybe that will change in future episodes.
Continuity: I presume the continuity will be minimal. This will probably be a case-driven show, like The Closer, and the continuity will come in terms of her personal life.
Rewatchability: Zero. I've seen the pilot. Time to move on. Maybe.
Three Things I Really Like About This Pilot:

Three Things I Really Don't Like About This Pilot:

How to good find a job that requires neither a college degree nor extensive experience.
Hello again, thanks for checking in.
I'll get right to the point – if you're unemployed or "employed but looking", or maybe you're in a position where you know you'll need a job soon and would like to get a jump start on it (exiting the military comes to mind), then you'll find this post interesting.
Find a job – $5K per month
The site you're at right now, www.60kjobs.com, is completely focused on detailing jobs that require neither a college degree nor extensive experience. We believe jobs such as this are numerous and even well known…there's nothing really secretive going on…it's just that most don't realize these jobs are available and lucrative. If you're in the market for a $60K per year job…$5K per month…then you've come to the right place.
Find a job – couch potatoes need not apply
The first thing to consider is the amount of work you're willing to put in. $60K is a respectable annual salary and you'll be expected to work hard for it. Nothing on this site will tell you that you can work 10 hours per week and make $60K. I'm sure there are jobs out there where that is possible, but you won't find them here. The jobs we outline will require you to take it seriously, work very diligently, probably work more than 40 hours per week, study, learn, network and connect. If you can do all of that, and do it well and with focus and ambition, you can land that $60K job. Do it half-assed, you may still land the job and maybe even be successful, but you might not quite make the $60K mark as quickly as intended.
Find a job – a few to whet your appetite
So what kind of jobs fall into this category? There are quite a few, you're undoubtedly familiar with most of them, and they can be obtained just about anywhere. The ones we have documented so far are:
The ones we are working on run along the lines of Waiter/Waitress, Real Estate Agent, Sales, Plumber, Mechanic, Writer, Webmaster, Truck Driver, Physical Trainer, etc, etc. All of these, and more, are "works in progress" for us, so be sure to check back from time to time or join our mailing list.
How does one go about getting a job such as this? Well, the above guides outline the skills needed and provide a 90 day approach to training for, networking for and landing the job, and then excelling in the job and even branching out a bit at times, to attain that $60K ($5K per month) goal.
A quick look at each of the jobs listed below:
UNIX Administrator – this is a job that entails a thorough understanding of not only computers, but UNIX computers, networking and maybe a little scripting thrown in. Can you do that in 90 days? Certainly. Will you be the "best" UNIX admin around after 90 days? No, you'll be entry level but here's the fun part…$60K is actually a very realistic expectation for entry level UNIX administrators.
Bartender – we all know what a bartender does. What's important is to know what a great bartender does! There's far more to just making drinks. Understanding your customers, making GREAT drinks, making the RIGHT drinks, recommending the BEST drink, etc, etc all go into a great bartender. To augment your salary and tips, consider starting a Mobile Bartending business as well!
Auto Sales – yeah, we know these guys too. Erase the slimy "car salesman" image from your mind and consider the income possibilities if you pursue this and become really good at it. There is a practically unlimited upside to this profession for those that take it seriously and have the best interest of the customer in mind. Don't count this out because you've had a bad experience…in fact, make that bad experience a motivating force for you to jump in here and do well!
Ok, that's a little bit of info for you – feel free to look around our site for more. As always, we welcome your thoughts and comments and success stories.
And as always…enjoy!!

Guess what: I don't hate Valentine's Day!
In fact, I'm looking forward to it. And yes, I've heard the argument that we should love the people around us not just one day a year, but 365. However, I'm pretty sure Valentine's Day is one of those 365 days …. so my plan is to love people all year and ESPECIALLY on V-day. Cool?
But I plan to get my mushy on ALL WEEK LONG. Yep. And if you don't like that, well …. haters gonna hate.
Image: Cafemama, flickr. Love Valentine's Day, hate these awful-tasting candies.
So here's what you can expect next week.
On Monday I'm making a meal for a good friend who just had a baby. And some part of that meal is going to be heart-shaped. Not sure what yet, but possibly my mom's fantastic buttermilk biscuits?
On Tuesday, the actual day of lovvvve, the plan is to make pretzels again like I did last week, but heart-shaped, for the ladies at the office. Because nothing says "You're nice, I appreciate you" like a hot, homemade, buttery, salty pretzel. In a heart shape. Oh yeah.
Image (and recipe): Maya Made
On Tuesday I might also post a grossly mushy tribute to my very own honey, which will probably be, like, really in-love and totally sickening. Cause I'm crazy about my husband like that. If you want to skip reading the blog that day, you have my permission. Just stay away, why don't you, and give us a moment. Alone. hahahaha ;-)
(Or possibly, depending on how intense the heart-shaped-pretzel-making experience gets, the mushy post may not happen until Wednesday. Just a heads up. Watch out.)
And the rest of the week? Ummmm …… not sure yet. I may have exhausted the heart-shaped food trend by then. But probably not. We haven't even explored the Valentine's desserts angle yet — heart shaped ice cream sandwiches, anyone? (Ben would flip for these.)
Or how about breakfast: the heart-shaped egg in a basket, a sweet twist on the old classic.
I'm definitely into eggs for breakfast, Ben not so much. If I wanted to make him a Valentine-y breakfast, I'd have to figure out how to make cereal heart-shaped — ha. Or waffles; Ben is a waffle fiend, and (what do you know) I have a heart-shaped waffle maker!! Seems too easy…..
Anyway. Enough about food.
Unfortunately, I can't JUST make cute heart-shaped stuff all week, I have to semi-participate in real life as well. I've got a paper due soon, and several meetings to go to next week, so yeah. Hopefully I will have time for some fun creative-ness though.
So ………. do you love or hate Valentine's day? Any plans for celebrating it? Are you going to be all obsessive and make everything heart-shaped like me, or just go out to dinner like a normal person? Haha. Just to clarify, in addition to being all obsessed and making everything heart-shaped, I also plan on having dinner like a normal person (at home, I can't stand the madness of restaurants on Feb 14th!) and and present my honey with a (homemade) card and thoughtfully selected gift. Yep, just like a normal person. I try to at least maintain the illusion. :-)
Hope you have a sweet weekend!

A Taxonomy for Competency Programs.
Finch, F. L.
To consolidate the diversity of opinion about the definition of competency, an operational definition and skills classification matrix is presented. Although most people agree that competency tests should measure student ability to transfer academic training to life situations, the fact that life skills and school skills represent different domains creates semantic problems. Competency can be defined as the ability to use a specific skill or set of skills to meet the needs of a specific situation. The dimensions suggested here--enabling skills, and context in which they are applied--provide a two-dimensional matrix. Matrix rows can identify skills which may be classified as content areas (reading, mathematics); columns can identify application of these skills to academic performance, job requirements, or everyday situations. Skills and context can also be classified narrowly to analyze definitions of competency or items on existing tests. Use of the matrix avoids the need to decide whether competency tests, in general, measure school-developed skills or life-related abilities. After defining context and describing skills, the final step of competency evaluation is deciding how skills should be measured (tests, observation, product evaluation, etc.), and how much is enough.

First year assistant professional Rachel Woodcock finished joint top of the leaderboard in the second round of the WPGA One Day series at Dunham Forest Golf Club.
And the Lincolnshire-based Belton Park Golf Club 26-year-old is now well placed to challenge for the Order of Merit title as she plans to take part in all of the remaining events in this year's series.
Woodcock began her PGA training last year after deciding to switch from a potential career as a probation officer after gaining a degree in criminology.
After recording a 10th place finish in the opening round at Little Aston, Woodcock produced a two-under-par round of 70 at the Cheshire venue.
She tied for the top spot with Ali Gray (Ormskirk Golf Club) and they were two shots ahead of their nearest challengers Abbie Cowlard (Reddish Vale Golf Club), Alison Nicholas (Beau Desert Golf Club) and Marie Martindale (Motocaddy Limited).
After winning the opening event, Nicholas finished joint third on this occasion.
"I was surprised after the way Alison played at Little Aston," said Woodcock.
"But it was great to get the win and I want to try and make a name for myself this year after turning professional.
"I want to play in all the events this year, my mum's caddying for me and we think we can get to all of them."
Woodcock admitted a career in golf was a spur of the moment choice even though she has been playing since she was nine.
"Both my mum and dad play so that's how I got into the game," she added.
"But I had a degree in criminology and that's the direction I was heading in, but you're not guaranteed to get where you want to and I decided to do the PGA course.
"I've taken my first year exams and want to do coaching but I aim to play events like this as well."

Malin Akerman In Negotiations To Play Villain In Rampage
Watchmen star Malin Akerman is in the middle of talks to join the cast of New Line Cinema's video game adaptation Rampage.
While she is probably best known for her role as Silk Spectre in Watchmen, the Swedish actress has noteworthy appearances in a number of other projects. She had supporting roles in the cult classic comedy Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle as well as 2007's The Brothers Solomon and 2008's 27 Dresses, and most recently had a leading role in indie drama The Ticket.
If Akerman ends up signing on to the project, she will appear alongside Dwayne Johnson and Naomie Harris. Reportedly, the role she is being eyed for is described as "a calculating head of a tech company that is behind the monsters". Interestingly, the character that most closely matches this description, the first game's Eustas DeMonic, is a male.
Superherohype, the source of this story, shares the following about the film's cast and production team:
The cast also includes Joe Manganiello, Marley Shelton, Jake Lacy, PJ Byrne, Jack Quaid, Matt Gerald and Breanne Hill. The movie is set to begin shooting in Atlanta in April.
This will mark the third collaboration between Johnson, producer Beau Flynn, director Brad Peyton and New Line, having worked on Journey 2: The Mysterious Island and San Andreas together as well. The latter film earned over $473 million at the global box offices, making it the most successful original blockbuster of summer 2015.

High HIV prevalence among hard to reach gay men in Jamaica is associated with high social vulnerability
Background: Due to strong social stigma associated with men who have sex with men (MSM) and HIV, and difficulty reaching MSM, there has been no HIV or behaviour survey among MSM in Jamaica since 1995. HIV prevalence among adults is 1.5%. The objective of this study was to estimate HIV prevalence and identify risk factors among MSM in order to improve prevention approaches.
Methods: Following discussion with MSM stakeholders, an experienced research nurse was introduced to the community and attended their activities. With the help of influential MSM and others she invited MSM in four parishes to participate in a cross-sectional survey between March 2007 and January 2008. MSM were interviewed, blood taken for HIV and syphilis, and urine taken for gonorrhea, Chlamydia and trichomonas (Gen Probe). Sensitive behavioural data was interviewer administered and self-completed. Confidential results were given to participants with treatment as indicated.
Results: 32% of 201 MSM were HIV positive. Prevalence of other STI was lower: Chlamydia 8.5%, syphilis 5.5%, gonorrhea 2.5%, trichomonas 0%. Most of the subjects were under 30 years of age and 60% of those HIV positive were under 25.
Social Factors: -Table availabe at abstract link below-
Conclusions: HIV prevalence among MSM is very high. MSM are more socially vulnerable than the general population. MSM who were of low socio-economic status, ever homeless and victims of physical violence were significantly more likely to be HIV positive. Social vulnerability is an important factor influencing HIV status.

Paper or plastic? Neither, say William McDonough and Michael Braungart. Why settle for the least harmful alternative when we could have something that is better--say, edible grocery bags! In Cradle to Cradle, the authors present a manifesto calling for a new industrial revolution, one that would render both traditional manufacturing and traditional environmentalism obsolete. Recycling, for instance, is actually "downcycling," creating hybrids of biological and technical "nutrients" which are then unrecoverable and unusable. -Amazon
In the great Zen tradition of teaching stories, Marc Lesser relates his own personal and professional trials as he navigates the delicate path of managing a successful business while staying true to his spiritual roots. Struggling through a difficult economic climate, he also faces the usual challenges of running a growing company - meeting payroll, balancing cash flow, hiring and firing employees, and maintaining relationships with vendors and customers. Guiding him through these difficulties while providing strength and insight is the practice of Zen. -Amazon

Guns, Germs & Steel, which won the Pulitzer Prize, is instrumental in helping understand human history and in answering one of its key questions: why is there such inequality between different people of the world? Diamond's answer: geography, demography, and ecological happenstance. While that may sound obvious, I found Diamond's presentation of the evidence to be overwhelming, exciting, and ultimately empowering. This book is the science-based answer to every ignorant racist argument you've ever met. After reading this book, your reaction to racists will not be anger (a sure sign of your own frustration), but of pity, a sign of your knowing. -Leo Gold
Each year, Warren Buffett, one of history's greatest investors (and also one of its most progressive in his thinking), writes a letterto the shareholders of his Berkshire Hathaway corporation (his own holdings of BRK stock make him one of the world's wealthiest people). And each year, the letter contains wisdom and humor far beyond the standard annual CEO letter. If you want one of the world's best and cheapest business educations, this is the book - a compilation of nuggets from Buffett's annual letters. -Leo Gold
World War II may have ended in 1945, but according to historian Tony Judt, the conflict's epilogue lasted for nearly the rest of the century. Calling 1945-1989 "an interim age," Judt examines what happened on each side of the Iron Curtain, with the West nervously inching forward while the East endured the "peace of the prison yard" until the fall of Communism in 1989 signaled their chance to progress. Though he proposes no grand, overarching theory of the postwar period, Judt's massive work covers the broad strokes as well as the fine details of the years 1945 to 2005. No one book (even at nearly a thousand pages) could fully encompass this complex period, but Postwar comes close, and is impressive for its scope, synthesis, clarity, and narrative cohesion. -Amazon
The recent ouster of Saddam Hussein may have turned "regime change" into a contemporary buzzword, but it's been a tactic of American foreign policy for more than 110 years. Beginning with the ouster of Hawaii's monarchy in 1893, Kinzer runs through the foreign governments the U.S. has had a hand in toppling, some of which he has written about at length before (in All the Shah's Men, etc.). Recent invasions of countries such as Grenada and Panama may be more familiar to readers than earlier interventions in Iran and Nicaragua, but Kinzer, a foreign correspondent for the New York Times, brings a rich narrative immediacy to all of his stories.
In 2004, U.S. consumers spent $5.2 billion purchasing bottled water while the government only invested 5 percent of that amount to purchase critical watersheds, parks, and wildlife refuges-systems vital to clean water and healthy environments. How can we reverse the direction of such powerful economic forces?
A group of dedicated business-people-turned-environmental-entrepreneurs is pioneering a new set of tools for land conservation deals and other market-based strategies. These pragmatic visionaries have already used these methods to protect millions of acres of land and to transform the practices of entire industries.
Drawing on his vast experience in both business and land conservation at The Nature Conservancy (TNC), William Ginn offers a practical guide, from conservation investment banking, to emerging markets for nature's goods and services, to new tax incentives that encourage companies to do the "right" thing.
Today's kids are increasingly disconnected from the natural world, even as research shows that "thoughtful exposure of youngsters to nature can... be a powerful form of therapy for attention-deficit disorder and other maladies." Instead of passing summer months hiking, swimming and telling stories around the campfire, children these days are more likely to attend computer camps or weight-loss camps: as a result, Louv says, they've come to think of nature as more of an abstraction than a reality. Gathering thoughts from parents, teachers, researchers, environmentalists and other concerned parties, Louv argues for a return to an awareness of and appreciation for the natural world. Not only can nature teach kids science and nurture their creativity, he says, nature needs its children: where else will its future stewards come from? Louv's book is a call to action, full of warnings—but also full of ideas for change.
The future can exist only if humans understand how to commune with the natural world rather than exploit it, explains author and renowned ecologist Thomas Berry (The Dream of the Earth, The Universe Story). "Already the planet is so damaged and the future is so challenged by its rising human population that the terms of survival will be severe beyond anything we have known in the past."
This may make him sound like a scolding, doomsday prophet, but Berry is an optimistic soul, hopeful that humans will rise to the challenge of cherishing the natural world in the third millennium. "Our future destiny rests even more decisively on our capacity for intimacy in our human-Earth relations." Berry predicts. From this premise, Berry reveals why we need to adore our blessed planet, while also examining why we are culturally driven toward exploiting nature.
Forty years after Kenyan independence from Britain, the words "Mau Mau" still conjure images of crazed savages hacking up hapless white settlers with machetes. The British Colonial Office, struggling to preserve its far-flung empire of dependencies after World War II, spread hysteria about Kenya's Mau Mau independence movement by depicting its supporters among the Kikuyu people as irrational terrorists and monsters. Caroline Elkins, a historian at Harvard University, concludes that the war, one of the bloodiest and most protracted decolonization struggles of the past century, was anything but the "civilizing mission" portrayed by British propagandists and settlers. Instead, Britain engaged in an amazingly brutal campaign of ethnic cleansing that seemed to border on outright genocide. While only 32 white settlers were killed by Mau Mau insurgents, Elkins reports that tens of thousands of Kenyans were slaughtered, perhaps up to 300,000. The British also interned the entire 1.5 million population of Kikuyu, the colony's largest ethnic group, in barbed-wire villages, forced-labour reserves where famine and disease ran rampant, and prison camps that Elkins describes as the Kenyan "Gulag." The Kikuyu were subjected to unimaginable torture, or "screening," as British officials called it, which included being whipped, beaten, sodomized, castrated, burned, and forced to eat feces and drink urine. British officials later destroyed almost all official records of the campaign. This is a stunning narrative that finally sheds light on a misunderstood war for which no one has yet been held officially accountable. --Alex Roslin

Ate here in the evening and lucky enough to get outside seating. Menu choice on the small side but food very nice. 2 pizzas and chicken pasta - no complaints and enjoyable evening. Tiffany the waitress was very helpful and pleasant.
The service was average. The food was nothing special but the prices were! Olive Garden would have been just as good.
Average service, mediocre food quality and the menu is one of the most pricey in the area. The pizzas were small and cold (one for $14 ?!) Spaghetti sauce were watery and tasteless! It liked the cook forgot something in the recipe!

Michelle Rouse Dearing
Principal Broker, Owner
Michelle had her first brush with real estate during college, when she had a summer job working in model homes for a large builder in Dallas. She loved it, but she would take a big detour before finding her way back again.
Read more
She earned her BS/BA in Accounting and went to work for J.B. Hunt Transport for ten years. She loved her job, but as a single mother she wanted a career that allowed her more flexible time with her sons. She joined her parents' mortgage company, and eventually got her real estate license so she could help a friend. This opened the door for a full-time position with one of Arkansas' premier real estate companies. There she had the opportunity to learn from some of the best in the business.
Michelle's aim is to connect her clients to the community she loves, and that passion for connecting with people drove her to strike out on her own to start Midtown Associates.
Michelle moved around a lot, and never had a place that felt like home until she moved to Northwest Arkansas nearly 25 years ago. Her family lives nearby, and she loves to spend time with her two sons and her "grand-pug." She calls herself an "obnoxious Hog fan" and loves wine tastings and learning about wine and culinary pairings, as well as taking in live music. She loves traveling and exploring new areas, but when all is said and done, she loves returning home to Northwest Arkansas.
Ace Rouse
Ace grew up in Northwest Arkansas, and began working and giving back to the community at the young age of fourteen. He volunteered for the Kids Camp hosted by the Bella Vista Property Owner's Association each summer,
Read more
until he was hired on as a camp counselor. From there he worked his way up to managing the numerous golf courses in Bella Vista. After seeing what his aunt, Michelle Dearing, was doing with Midtown Associates, he knew he wanted to take his passion for people and the NWA community and apply it to real estate.
Ace loves every type of outdoor activity from camping to floating, to golf and disc golf. When he's not outside at one of his favorite spots like the Bella Vista golf courses, Beaver Lake, or Roaring River, he can be found all around town from restaurants to the Farmer's Market to First Fridays. Just look for the guy with the infectious smile on his face!
Rebecca Collins
Rebecca is not only a fantastic real estate agent, but also a science teacher at Fulbright Junior High. She feels lucky to have two careers that she is passionate about and which complement each other. She became interested in real estate ten years ago,
Read more
but didn't pursue it because she didn't want to leave teaching. After a conversation with Michelle Dearing, she realized she could have the best of both worlds! Rebecca loves meeting new people and helping them find that one home that fits all their desires. Her favorite moment is seeing people's faces light up with pride and joy when she hands them the keys to their new home.
Rebecca may be a part-time agent, but she works circles around most full-time agents. Her work ethic and love for her clients will make her their real estate agent for life.
Rebecca lives in Bentonville with her husband and three kids. When they aren't soaking up all the family time they can get, she and her husband love walking the trails together and taking in live music, especially at local restaurants.
Matt Beiler
Matt has lived in Northwest Arkansas since 1989. Originally from Pennsylvania, he moved here with his family to establish new roots. At that time, things in this area were nothing as they are now.

He witnessed first-hand the growth and exciting development of this amazing place he calls home!
Relocating to Denver for three years made him appreciate not only the beauty of Colorado, but also what our own state has to offer! Northwest Arkansas and other parts of this great state offer an amazing opportunity to explore some of the most beautiful areas of our country.
Having a corporate background in logistics, project management, sales, and most importantly customer relations and customer service, has given Matt the skills to be a full-time Realtor®. A passion for helping people and assisting them with one of the most important decisions of their lives makes real estate a perfect fit. Being from the area and understanding the ever-changing real-estate environment, Matt knows just how to establish trust and make a client feel at home.
When he's not in the office or looking for the perfect home for his clients, Matt enjoys spending time with his family and being involved in the community. Gardening, mountain biking, coaching youth soccer, and just enjoying the outdoors are a few of his favorite activities.

Bolivia - My fondness for this level has decreased over time. There's nothing wrong with it, especially in the context of the entire title, but I'm not especially engaged with anything in it until the discovery of the Dais and the flashback to Lara's past.
Peru - I'm apparently in the minority here. I absolutely love the Peru flashback sequence. I like the set piece puzzle. I like the narrative importance. Yes, the motorcycle sequence is a chore and that's also true of Kazakhstan, but stripped of that, it's one of the moments I enjoy the most.
Japan - I'm not really a fan of introducing the Yakuza into any story where they are a just a side element to be discarded later. Saying that, I like the sequences between Nishimura's building and Takamoto's building, and the fight with Takamoto is one of the more challenging combats in the game, so I can live with it. It also has my favorite Zip line in the game, so that helps.
Ghana - It opens well, slows down, picks back up, and then Rutland fight is tedious. Like Bolivia, I've become less fond of it over time, and it doesn't have the benefit of the Dais narrative to prop it up.
Kazakhstan - I like it as much as Bolivia. I think modern tombs/wrecks are just as interesting as ancient ones. I enjoyed everything here but the motorcycle sequences.
England - I think it's overrated, but it certainly isn't bad. The serpent fight is out of place, and its existence bothers me. Where does it come from? How has it survived? This is not a deal breaker, mind you, but the serpent does stand out amongst everything in the LAU narrative as something that feels in-congruent. Even the Mysterious Entity, as odd as it was, doesn't feel quite so out of place.
Nepal - I wonder what the fandom would think of this game, this narrative, this trilogy, if the line "That's where you're wrong, Zip. This is always what it's been about" was excised from this chapter. I ask this rhetorically, mind you, but is something to ponder. Otherwise, I'm fine with it.
Bolivia Redux - Gets a bad rap for its brevity. Not sure why. It ends the game well, resolves most of the narrative elements, and was one of the first times I actually felt a sense of grandeur or even heroic scale in a Tomb Raider game. Lara, holding an ancient artifact of immense power, facing a former friend also holding an ancient artifact of immense power, both of them battling upon the ruins of yet another ancient artifact. Neither of them willing to compromise, both of them arrogant, both of them assured of their respective paths. Nothing ever matched this for me. Not Natla in Atlantis, not the Bartoli dragon, nothing. Its conclusion is a still a moment that gets me excited for the next chapter, (either TRA or TRU, depending on your perspective) and it remains to this day one of my favorite bits of the entire franchise.

Least Favourite: England. It's so boring, and I never really liked the Arthur Mythology in a Tomb Raider game in the first place. The part I liked was the giant serpent though.
Favourite: Kazakhstan. I love the feel of this one, kind of like an industrial tomb. It's awesome. Just a shame it didn't go for longer.
Tbh, I liked them all. I've played the game so many times too that the levels kind of blur together. I have to remember back to what I first thought as now it's like, I just see the whole game and all the levels as one. I also like Kazakhstan the most because it has more Amanda.
Woohoo!! Go Amanda! Even if you were boring and plain in TRU!

Favourite: Ghana or Nepal, I just love the scenery in both and Ghana especially feels the most TR to me. Least liked: Kazakhstan, the modern setting and the tedious bike ride.

Brandon and I would meet in what used to be a garage and now serves as a laundry room, exercise room (sometimes:), storage unit, and recording studio. Sometimes Brandon would even do his laundry while we recorded--really. What most people call the spin-cycle, we call atmosphere. Seriously, though, you won't hear the laundry because we rarely used a mic. Here's to electronic drums and digital amps: sometimes they just get the job done--especially when a two-year old is sleeping in the next room.
That said, this was a liberating project. It's been long in the making because we both work a couple jobs and have family, friends and canine animals to look after. We just focused on what made sense on a given evening and came up with something that sounds like Yea Tall. Please stream it to your hearts' content, download it, and share it with your friends.Downloads are a lousy buck:( But the funds you provide will go toward additional noise makers and such.
Lastly, we want to thank Clara Oman
Thanks for stopping by, and send us your words. We look forward to hearing from you.

IDE RAID 0 is not really considered a
true RAID since there isn't any data redundancy. RAID 0 takes two drives of the
same size/configuration and stripes them, meaning it makes one big drive out of
two equal ones. This improves performance by cutting hard drive latency in half.
Since the data is divided equally and written on two hard drives it also
increases the data bandwidth by two. The reason it's not considered true RAID is
because if one drive fails, all data is lost.
IDE RAID 1 on the other hand mirrors two
drives of the same size, so in theory if one drive fails, the other will take
over as the primary hard drive and the system can continue to operate normally.
This is what is supposed to happen with a SCSI hard drive setup and it actually
works pretty well there.
The IDE subsystem doesn't allow hard
drives to be disconnected while the computer is still powered up and in use like
SCSI can unless you have a special HDD tray. Generally, when one IDE drive fails
the system usually locks up anyway. The data is safe since it's mirrored on the
other drive which is the real benefit.
With IDE RAID 0+1, you need four
hard drives of the same configuration/size. What RAID 0+1 does is
stripes two sets of two hard drives, one set for a RAID 0 configuration and the
other for RAID 1. What this does is offer the best of both worlds, the high
performance of RAID 0, with 100% data redundancy of RAID 1. Hence the name RAID
0+1. The only downside would be the need for four identical hard
Around the Socket:
Heatsink Clearances
Note: Approx.
measurements are made from the edge of the socket (not the clips) to
the closest obstacle taller than the ZIF socket
The socket is 51mm across, and 62mm from
top to bottom.
The space around the CPU socket is mediocre at best, and unfortunately
the left side of the CPU socket is very close to the
clipping mechanism of the chipset fan so installation of larger heatsinks such as the
Swiftech MC462A or Alpha PAL8045 might not be possible.
Also, wider heatsinks might have a hard time
fitting on this motherboard as well. We measure the distances around the
socket so you can figure you for yourself if a particular heatsink will fit,
so please have a look at the chart above.

As of today, we are out of Hauwei Ascends and are going to order some accessories Lord Willing.
I just look at my Dad and thank God for him. He is such a blessing. When I am tired of being up front ot wanting a customer to go away because he/she is rude, bad language, but Dad is such a stone wall and so firm I just admire him. Lord help me to be strong in your word and stand against the wiles of the Devil.

It is not really the end. Well, as we see it, the film is over but the credits are still rolling. We have made it to Vancouver and beyond to the island where we are currently chilin in Port Alberni which is the furthest west we can go. However we do not feel as though we have totally finished.
This is the same strange feeling, but switched around, that we had in Halifax where I could not see myself riding for over three months. I am glad my brother, father and I managed to do so. At first I could not see myself getting up and going for hours on end but now, with little over two weeks left till I am back home, where college, friends and a completely different time zone awaits, I will miss the getting up and going for hours on end, seeing completely different landscape everyday, meeting a whole range of colourful people and most of all the sense of accomplishment I share with my dad and brother.
All in all though I look foward to a long rest period in Vancouver as we have our fellow cycling companion Jordi to meet up with again, and Natalys and Kathryn who we met in our adventures around Lake Louise, but most of all, the amount of time I have to sleep.

Sleeping medical mystery
H pointed me to the "Think Like a Doctor: The Sleeping Wife" case by Dr. Lisa Sanders in The New York Times, and to its solution and resolution "Think Like a Doctor: Sleeping Wife Solved!" that ran the next day. Evidently, she consults for the television show House. The woman's illness is very unusual, and her doctors did a wonderful job to make the diagnosis and to start treatment so early. I will spoil the case in the rest of the post. Stop here if you want to think about it yourself first. Continue Reading »

Chitwan National Park is situated in south-central Nepal in the subtropical lowlands of the inner terai of Chitwan, Makawanpur, Parsa and Nawalparasi districts. It lies between 27°16.56'- 27°42.14' Latitudes and 83°50.23'-84°46.25' Longitudes. The altitude ranges from 110m to 850m above sea level. The park is bounded by the Rapti and Narayani River in the north, Parsa Wildlife Reserve in the east and Madi settlements and India border in the south. The physiography of the park consists of the Terai and Siwaliks. Three major rivers Narayani, Rapti and Reu, and their floodplains, and several lakes and pools are the major water sources of the park.
Being the first protected area of Nepal, it has a long history of over three decades in park management and rich experiences in nature conservation. Chitwan was a big game area for the royal families, Rana rulers, and their guests. The area comprising the Tikauli forest from Rapti River to the foothills of the Mahabharat extending over an area of 175 km2 was declared as Mahendra Deer Park in 1959. The area south of the Rapti River was demarcated as a Rhino Sanctuary in 1963. It was proclaimed as Royal Chitwan National Park with an area of 932 km2 in 1973. After the peoples' revolution in 2006, the park's name was changed to Chitwan National Park.
In recognition of its unique biological resources of outstanding universal value, UNESCO designated CNP as a World Heritage Site in 1984. In 1996, an area of 750 km2 surrounding the park was declared a buffer zone, which consists of forests and private lands including cultivated lands. The buffer zone contains a Ramsar Site – Beeshazari Lakes.
The park and the local people jointly initiate community development activities and manage natural resources in the buffer zone. The government of Nepal has made a provision of plowing back 30-50 percent of the park revenue for community development in the buffer zone.
The park has a range of climatic seasons each offering unique experience. October through February with the average temperature of 25C offers an enjoyable climate. From March to June temperatures can reach as high as 43*C. The hot humid days give way to the monsoon season that typically lasts from late June until September when rivers become flooded and most of the roads are virtually impassable. Mean annual rainfall of the park has been recorded 2150mm.
In late January, local villagers are allowed to cut thatch grasses to meet their needs, which offer a better viewing of wildlife to visitors. Also, between September and November, and February and April, migratory birds join the residential birds and create spectacular bird watching opportunities. While the monsoon rains bring lush vegetation, most trees flower in late winter. The Palash tree, known as the "flame of the forest", and silk cotton tree have spectacular crimson flowers that can be seen from a distance.
The Chitwan valley is characterized by tropical and subtropical forests. Roughly 70 percent of park vegetative cover is Sal (Shorea robusta) forest, a moist deciduous vegetation type of the Terai region. The remaining vegetation types include grassland, riverine forest and Sal with Chir pine Pinus roxburghii. The later occurs at the top of the Churia range. The riverine forests consist of Khair (Acacia catechu), Sissoo (Dalbergia sisoo) and Simal (Bombax ceiba). The grasslands are mainly located in the floodplains of the rivers and form a diverse and complex community with over 50 different types of grasses including the elephant grass (Saccharum spp.), renowned for its immense height. It can grow up to 8 meters in height.
Species Diversity
A total of 68 species of mammals, 56 species of herpetofauna and 126 species of fish have been recorded in the park. The park is especially renowned for its protection of One Horned Rhinoceros, Royal Bengal Tiger and Gharial Crocodile. The park harbors not only the world's largest terrestrial mammal (wild elephant) but also the world's smallest terrestrial mammal (pygmy shrew). A total of 544 species of birds has been recorded so far including 22 globally threatened species including critically endangered Bengal Florican, Slender-billed Vulture, White-rumped Vulture and Red-headed Vulture.
The park offers interesting sites and activities. The display at the Visitor Center at Sauraha provides fascinating information on wildlife and conservation programs. The Women's User Group souvenir shop offers a variety of handicrafts and other local products for gifts and souvenirs.
Elephant safari provides an opportunity to get a closer view of the endangered One-horned Rhinoceros. One may also get a glimpse of the elusive Bengal tiger. The Elephant Breeding Center at Khorsor, Sauraha gives you information on domesticated elephant and the baby elephants born there.
The museum at Kasara, the park headquarters, has informative displays. Near the HQ, visitors can see Bikram Baba, a Hindu religious site of archival value. A short walk (1 km.) from the park HQ will take you to the Gharial Breeding Center, which is also home to the Marsh mugger and a number of turtles.
Inside the park, there are 7 resorts run by park concessionaires that can provide lodging and access to wildlife activities. Various resorts and lodges situated outside the park also offer a variety of services.
There are certain rules and regulations of the Chitwan National Park that the visitors of the park are supposed to follow in order to visit the park. The regulations of the park are outlined here below:
Physical Infrastructure
The park headquarter is in Kasara. HQ holds the main administrative activities. Other administrative activities are done in its eastern sector Sauraha and in its western sector Amaltari. The park protection works have been doing by Nepal Army. There are altogether 47 security posts, among which 16 are park staff only and 13 are Nepal Army only.
Habitat Conservation and Improvement
Grasslands: Grasslands and waterholes play a key role in the management of precious wildlife of CNP. Grasslands are being converted into shrublands and forests resulting in the decrease of grassland area from 20% in the 1970s to about 5% in recent years. However, the invasion of Mikania micrantha (Banmasa i.e. forest killer or mile a minute) is becoming more and more aggressive to grasslands and other ecosystems.
Grassland ecosystem is very dynamic. It is readily affected by floods, fires, grazing and manual cutting. The increase in the Saccharum spontaneum (kans) type of grassland is considered to be the highest quality habitat for wild herbivores especially the rhinoceros and the deers. It is also a major source of elephant fodder on one hand and a preferred raw material for paper pulp.
Break-up tall grass stands into patches work of tall grassland and short grassland is crucial for wildlife conservation but the work is challenging.
Khagendramalli, Chappachuli, Amrita, Padampur, Dumaria, Jarneli, Sukebhar, Bhimle, Budhirapti, Buddha Nagar, Kachuwani, Ghatgain/ Lamictal, Devital and Khoria Mohan are the major grasslands of Chitwan National Park. Lack of record of grasslands and their characteristics and invasion of grasslands by unwanted species are the major issues in the grassland management.
The park has been adopting following practices to manage and restore these grasslands:
