In playing cards, is "J" an abbreviation? Then what does it stand for? I think "K" stands for king, and "Q" stands for Queen, is that right?
Thank you, are there any other abbreviations in plaing cards?
The ace usually has an A on it. You could call that an abbreviation.
I see :)
Does anyone call the J a Knave?
My mother used to, on occasions.
Yes, the jack has been called a knave. In fact, it (knave) is in a nursery rhyme: "The knave of hearts stole some tarts."Originally Posted by Lib
I would use it in Ron's example, but for the playing cards, I'd stick to Jack, although others would use Knave.
In the late medieval period the jack was called the knave. A knave was then a male servant of royalty.The card came to be known as the jack during the middle of the 19th century, when card manufacturers began to label playing cards to indicate their value.The obvious confusion between "Kn" and "K" led to the renaming of the knave as the Jack. However, books of card games published in late victorian timesevidently still referred to the card as the "knave", and the term with this definition is still recognized in the UK.

Almost 3000 words. It took 32 oz of coffee before I finally finished this mammoth of a post. It's finished and you can find it on at WoW Insider.
Are you on your coffee break?
Don't have much time to read it?
Want to know what I have to say in 30 seconds?
Here's a shortened version of the post in slide format:
Why Slides? I have a presentation to deliver in another month. I wanted to get familiar with Keynote. I've been dying to try out Slideshare for the longest time. I only spent about 90 minutes on this TLDR version (Too Long, Didn't Read). There's even the option of synching audio tracks with slides. Screw podcasts! I might just start a slidecast!
Nothing fancy, mostly images and words (90 minutes, right?). Presenting and public speaking are two important academic skills. I do have a presentation to give next month in front of my peers (It's Criminology related). I'm going to need time to learn and design accordingly.

Multifamily offices enjoyed a 9.6% increase in assets under advisement and 11.3% revenue growth in 2011, according to a study released Monday by The Family Wealth Alliance.
The 9th Annual MFO Study attributed the growth to multi-tiered service offerings, new hiring and use of social media.
The new study included these findings:
- Firms with less than $500 million in assets grew by an average 13.2%
- The largest firms, with assets of more than $5 billion, grew by 10.4%
- The mean MFO client relationship size was $40.9 million (as of Dec. 31, 2011)
- Firm assets under advisement averaged $7.4 billion
- 69.6% of MFOs were serving single-family offices, compared with 52.1% in 2009.
"Multifamily offices have worked hard to overcome barriers to growth faced by the industry," Bob Casey, head of research for The Family Wealth Alliance, said in a statement.
"The No. 1 business challenge cited by participants is the lack of marketplace differentiation for MFOs, their service model and the benefits they can offer to client families."
The study found participants were addressing the challenge in several ways. Use of dedicated business development officers among study participants rose by 22.9% in 2011. This was a common practice among larger MFOs, but the exception among midsize or smaller ones.
The study also revealed that more than a third of participants had adopted a two-tier pricing and service model. A full MFO service menu charged higher fees at asset minimums of $20 million to $30 million, while a more limited menu with lower asset minimums and fees focused on investments.
Fifty-one firms participated in study, which was conducted in late 2012.

Architecture in America That Would Make Frank Lloyd Wright Proud
by Amy Lignor
There is a brand new headline when it comes to an innovative new building; a building that the creator hopes to construct in America. It is a design that looks stunning on paper, however, it is also a design that is 'far right' of, well…even Wright's own ideas.
Manhattan, as everyone knows by now, is the King of the skyscraper business. They are also always striving, along with Seattle, Chicago and others, to own the tallest building in America, let alone the world. Greek architect Ioannis Oikonomou and his firm, Oiio Studio, may just be the ones to give Manhattan this glory.
Not only could he break the "tallest" record with his idea, but he would also create one of the most interesting, beautiful, yet slightly supernatural looking building in all the land. This would be a U-shaped tower that's along the lines of the Gateway Arch in St. Louis or the first big drop on a roller coaster as far as construction is concerned. It will also be the "longest" structure and has already been assigned the name, "Big Bend." A skinny skyscraper bent in half, if you measured from end to end it would be approximately 4,000 feet. The stretch running from the sidewalk to the building's peak directly in its center would make it 200 feet taller than One World Trade Center was; thus, creating the longest/tallest skyscraper.
It already has a place, of course. If everything were to go perfectly and investors signed on to the project, "Big Bend" would be built on the south corner of Central Park. You know the area as Billionaire's Row.
It is not a stretch to say that this is a design that very well could come to fruition. And although it would come in as the longest skyscraper, it would not be the "strangest" architectural site that America has to offer. You see, almost every state can claim one site that is so beautiful, unique, or just simply odd that tourists go to see them every year.
Just take a look at a few…
In Alaska, the "Dr. Seuss House" can be found in a place called Willow. Although this is an unofficial name, the beloved author would be proud to see it. The 12 stories, that sat untouched for ten years and was only recently completed, resembles the illustrated homes that Seuss was famous for.
In Arkansas, A stunning architectural work of art comes in the form of Thorncrown Chapel. Wood and stone were used to create the structure, yet a wandering eye that wandered too quickly would see it as just a chapel sitting in the middle of the forest completely abandoned. But don't let the eyes deceive, because this is one chapel that is not "buried in overgrowth and weeds." Up close, it is actually enclosed by huge glass panels on all four sides and is truly a sight to behold.
A favorite of many can be found in the state of Connecticut. Gillette Castle is an awe-inspiring site, whether seeing it on land or from a boat staring up at the hill it sits upon. This is a very odd stone monstrosity that was commissioned by William Gillette, who was an American actor best known for playing the role of Sherlock Holmes. He was also a man with a sense of humor and a whole lot of bad luck. In his Will, he stated that the castle was never supposed to be owned by (and I quote): "a blithering sap-head who has no conception of where he is or with what surrounded." Seeing as that the state now owns it, seems that Gillette did not get his wish after all.
For those who love their canines, in the state of Idaho you can find The Dog Bark Park Inn. Locals call this structure "Sweet Willy" and the building is two stories built and painted to look like a beagle. Best dog-themed B&B out there in America. A real "treat" for both you and your special friend.
In Michigan you are granted a look at the Earl Young Mushroom Houses; in Oklahoma, the "Arts & Crafts" House (AKA: The Bavinger House) is also something you'll never forget. Oddly enough, when it comes to alien beings, it is not Roswell, NM but actually Signal Mountain, Tennessee where you must go to see "The Spaceship House." Built in 1972 for his son, the owner created this UFO-shaped home with interior décor that is totally round (even the furniture) and a drop-down staircase that allows you to "climb up" and enter the alien transport from the ground below.
But you really can't speak about "odd" architecture without at least throwing in the name everyone knows. In Dodgeville, Wisconsin, "The House on the Rock" may have a bland name, but the oddities of the building came from the minds of builder Alex Jordan Jr., and designer Frank Lloyd Wright. This is a rural home, but inside you will find everything from the world's largest indoor carousel to something called 'The Infinity Room', which is cantilevered and projected out over 200 feet beyond the actual rock the house sits on. Talk about a view, aye?
It will be interesting to see if investors jump at the chance to construct "Big Bend" in Manhattan and give the already beautiful spot even more cred. But even without it, take some time to research the stunning architecture that has been a part of the U.S.A. for a long time – some are even in your neck of the woods. Because even with the mastermind Wright gone, at least we can be proud that "over-the-top" designs continue to be a part of our architectural universe.

I was a serious journalist a long time ago, inspired by Woodstein, Geraldo's Bellevue expose, and 60 Minutes. So I HATED doing press-release news and he said/he said. But that's all we get from mainstream news these days, not just broadcast/cable but also newspapers. I guess you can't get paid to tell THE TRUTH anymore, like this piece of debunking Reaganite mythology that underlies Republican government shutdown threats, and even Democratic compliance.
Journalism used to be called "the rough draft of history" or "the first draft of history" (or more correctly, of historiography). Today it's not even that — at least I hope not!

1966 Ford Bronco - Sierra Steed
A Healthy Old Horse
Forrest Moore was 18 years old when he brought this Bronco home-only it wasn't this Bronco, but rather a milder version of this Bronco with a Dana 30 front and a Ford 9-inch rear axle. Then over the years things changed. Forrest grew up, started a metal fabrication shop with some friends, and built a family. Meanwhile that mediocre old horse became a snortin' Clydesdale off-road powerhouse. In fact over the last 24 years Forrest has totally rebuilt this Bronco no less than four times with many minor upgrades along the way as well. But here's the kicker. Though he has built and rebuilt this Bronco, his goal has always been to have a 4x4 that he didn't need to work on. Kind of funny, isn't it?
This current iteration of '66 Ford sheetmetal covers a stretched, linked, and 1-ton'd chassis with healthy V-8 power under the narrowed hood. Though it works great for hauling his family or friends on camping trips amongst the California Sierras, Forrest is already planning and scheming the next rebuild. In fact, a month after we shot these photos, Forrest rolled the old Bronc pretty hard. Luckily only the Bronco's body got hurt, and no major work was needed. We're sure he'll be getting the tools out soon enough, if not to fix it, then to transform it once again.
Tech Specs
1966 Ford Bronco
Engine: '89 Mustang 5.0L V-8
Transmission: NP435
Transfer case: Atlas 4.3
Front Axle: Fabworx high-pinion Dana 60, Detroit Locker, 4.56 gears
Rear Axle: High-pinion Dana 60, Detroit Locker, 4.56 gears
Springs & Such: Fabworx triangulated four-link front and rear with Fox coilovers at each corner with Eibach springs and matching air bumpstops
Tires & Wheels: 39.5 Super Swamper Iroks on 17-inch Trail Ready beadlocks
Steering: Howe steering box and reservoir, F-350 pump, forklift ram
Other Stuff: 13/4x0.095-inch-tube rollcage, Corbeau suspension seats, Powertank CO2 tank, Modified Wild Horses fuel tank, front narrowed 10 inches, rear body narrowed 13 inches, Panasonic radio, Auto Meter gauges
It's hard for most guys to justify a trail-only vehicle that requires a trailer every time you want to go somewhere, so Forrest made sure he still had working signals, wipers, and a body that wasn't all jungle-gym tubing. Yes, we know that the tires stick slightly outside the 13-inch narrower-than-stock rear body sides and that picky policemen could find something else wrong with it, but as long as Forrest keeps his wild driving in the dirt, we feel confident the Bronco will get him and his kids to the ice cream stand without red and blue lights.
The front fenders have been dovetailed inwards a total of 10 inches, helping make room for the 39.5-inch Irok tires on 17-inch Trail Ready beadlocks. A high-pinion Dana 60 built by Fabworx Custom Metal Fabrication (Forrest's place of business), is up front doing steering and driving duty with a Howe ram-assist steering box outside and a Detroit Locker with 4.56 gears inside. The front suspension is comprised of Fox 2-inch coilover shocks and air bumpstops along with a triangulated four-link. Though mixing four-links with a steering box often results in bumpsteer, Forrest has found his steering to work great both on- and off-road with only slight bumpsteer when extremely articulated.

Women in Saudi Arabia demand end to 'absolute' male control
RIYADH // A group of Saudi women have petitioned the Shura Council to back a demand to curb the "absolute authority" of male guardians over women in the kingdom.
Saudi Arabia imposes a strict interpretation of Islamic law, forbidding women to work or travel without the authorisation of their male guardians.
It is also the only country that bans women from driving, and a woman cannot obtain an identification card without the consent of her guardian.
Aziza Yousef, one of the women who signed the petition, said "rights activists have petitioned the Shura Council on the occasion of the International Women's Day (on March 8) demanding an end to the absolute authority of men over women".
They demanded measures to protect women's rights, she said.
Laws in the kingdom enforcing such restrictions on women "are not based on religious" teachings, said Ms Yousef.
The petition, signed by nine other women, also calls for allowing women to drive.
Women in Saudi must obtain permission from a male guardian to perform "certain surgeries" and to "leave the university campus during study hours," she said.
She cited a recent case in which a pregnant student had to give birth on campus after a women-only university in Riyadh denied access to paramedics.
And a university student died last month after paramedics were prevented from entering her campus because they were not accompanied by a male guardian, a must according to the segregation rules in the kingdom.
This year, Saudi Arabia suspended a notification programme that had been running since 2012, which alerted male guardians once women under their custody left the country, even if they were travelling together.
Three female members of the Shura Council presented a recommendation that women be given the right to drive in October, but the male-dominated 150-member assembly blocked the proposal.
The Shura Council is appointed by the king and advises the monarch on policy, but cannot legislate.

Tariq Ziad Zuhdi Adeli after being attacked by Israeli settlers in Osarin, near Nablus.
After the bodies of the three settler teens were discovered early last week, calls for revenge have echoed across Israel and fears of individual reprisals against the Palestinian population are growing.
These fears were realized early Wednesday morning when the charred body of 16-year-old Mohammed Abu Khedeir was found in a West Jerusalem forest. It is reported that he was bundled into a car by three men, thought to be Jewish extremists, on around 3 am that morning as he made his way to the mosque to pray. An official autopsy report released yesterday revealed that Mohammed was burned alive.
Since this horrific murder, committed only hours after the funeral of Eyal, Gilad and Naftali (the three Israeli youth kidnapped killed in the West Bank), there has been an alarming number attempted abduction.
According to local media, Jewish extremists tried to drag 9-year-old Mousa Zaloom into an awaiting car in Shuafat on Tuesday evening, the same area Mohammed was later snatched from. The Zaloom family were reportedly walking in the Eastern Jerusalem neighbourhood after a meal when the mother heard Mousa screaming. She turned around to see him being choked and dragged towards a waiting car. As she attempted to intervene, the attackers turned upon her before fleeing without the child when onlookers arrived at the scene.
Four settlers from Pisgat Zeev reportedly tried to abduct a seven-year-old Palestinian child in the Jerusalem neighbourhood of Beit Hanina on Thursday evening. Local witnesses told Ma'an News Agency that the attackers fled on foot after family members ran to rescue Muhammad Ali al-Kiswani, who was playing in the street after breaking the Ramadan fast.
Thankfully, both children escaped with minor injuries, however, 22-year-old Tariq Ziad Zuhdi Adeli was not so lucky.
Israeli settlers reportedly approached the village of Osarin, south of Nablus, late Saturday evening and abducted Tariq. "The settlers stepped out of a car and sprayed gas at Tariq before pulling him into one of the vehicles," witness Abas Adeli told Ma'an News Agency.
"They then took him to a remote area in the outskirts of the village and attacked him with a hatchet, leaving him bleeding," he went on to add. It is only after the attackers left that Tariq was able to call his father, who arrived with a group of young men from the village. He was then transported to Rafedia hospital in Nablus to receive urgent medical attention.
When asked to comment on these disturbing and violent attacks, Dr Mustafa Barghouti told Palestine Monitor that, "what we are witnessing, in the Occupied Palestinian Territories today, are systematic attacks by settlers protected by the Israeli army."
"Palestinians feel totally unsafe. There is nobody able to provide them with protection," he added.

Femke Herregraven speaks at TEDxVaduz, Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein, Dec 2013. Via DIS.
TEDxVaduz was held at Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein in December of 2013. Designed and organized by artists Simon Denny and Daniel Keller, the event seemed, at first glance, like a well-organized parody. But the list of speakers included an array of legitimately exciting artists and thinkers—Peter Fend, Andi Götz, Femke Herregraven, Michaela Hogenboom Kindle, Michael Littger, Michel André Maréchal, Katja Novitskova, Emily Segal, and Regula Stämpfli—convened under a relevant theme, "Radically Open."
From the outset, it was clear that TEDxVaduz aimed to work both within and against the context provided by the TED brand. Denny opened the event by giving a brief history of TED and the TEDx conferences. Keller provided the current context of TED, its format and the recent criticism due to presentations that relied on pseudo-science. Denny highlighted the elements of the TED brand that match his and Keller's interests, such as Silicon Valley and tech entrepreneurialism. Denny also noted that the backdrop, a tag cloud comprised of most used words in TED talks and the floor graphic of an island shaped like Vaduz, was a collaborative design by the two.

LG offers up a Windows Mobile smartphone for AT&T. Hopefully the Incite is not a true insight into the future of LG's smartphones, because this one has some serious flaws. read review ›

Pish Posh
I'll just make a pro's and con's list.
-Threaded SMS
-Camera quality, flawless.
-Sound is good.
-Internet Explorer, fast and easy.
-Touch Screen with Haptic Feed Back.
-Sturdy Design.
-Lots of ways to customize.
-Texting is easy.
-3.5mm headphone jack.
-Screen turns black and freezes atleast twice a day, so I have to pull the battery out and start it back up.
-Sometimes my friends and family will say my voice sounds like a robot, or its echoing really bad during a call. So i have to hang up and call back.
-Gets hot while charging.
-Screen is scratch prone.
-The T9 will spell out random words that make no sense. Or put an "N" in front of every word.
I've also owned a blackberry pearl, a Black Jack II, and an HTC Fuze.
This phone is by far better than the BJII and better than the Fuze.
But far from as good as a Blackberry.
Buy this phone if you have patience, and luck.
So many options on this carrier... this shouldn't be one of them
I owned an LG Incite for about a month. At first, I thought it was a great phone. But it's not. No. Not at all.
When I first got the phone, I liked it. The phone uses a stylus and I'm not a big fan of styluses but I didn't really care. I took the stylus and didn't find a place for it on the phone. You're telling me the stylus has to be dangling from the phone at all times? Major design flaw! I canât imagine anyone at LG thinking this was a good idea.
The touch screen is good. It's very quick and responsive. Unfortunately, the keyboard is another story. Well, it is quick and responsive, but it takes up about 80% of the screen, so you can barely ever see what you're typing. Terrible for web browsing/sending texts. Iâve seen touch screen keyboards implemented better on other phones. You can download other third party keyboards but they're finicky and really annoying.
The phone can get really slow. I hate how unresponsive the accelerometer is. I sometimes find myself having a battle with the phone because of the accelerometer. I hold it in landscape, the phone goes to portrait mode. And vice versa. Sometimes the accelerometer stops working and I have to reset the phone. The phone crashes a lot, which means the hard reset button will be your most used feature on this phone.
Camera is mediocre, but video quality is great. Kinda fidgety but it got the job done and audio quality was excellent. Video capture resolution goes up to 400x240
Call quality was pretty bad. I live in the DC area and I found myself asking people to repeat themselves multiple times during conversations.
In the end, I was disappointed with this phone. I'm happy I returned it for another phone.
-Pretty good touchscreen
-Good video capture
-Customizable (Like all Windows Mobile phones)
-Dangling stylus
-Keyboard takes up most of the screen and you can't see what you're typing most of the time
-Mediocre camera
-Pretty slow
-Accelerometer will piss you off
-Hard reset will be your best friend
AD reviews continues below...
this phone is awesome
This phone is AWESOME!!!! The features are fantastic, and the size is perfect. I personally dont have fat fingers, and i love a touchscreen phone that comes with a stylus. I carried the vu for quite some time and hated the fact that there was no stylus. I took a stylus from work just to have one. Unlike the instinct, the iphone, or the vu... i dont have to carry the stylus around in my pocket, it goes in the phone. And the wifi is was a fantastic add-on. The area i live in isnt 3g yet, so i get the internet speeds i need from using the wifi. I havent really had any drawbacks yet, so lets see how long it takes before this phone has a known issue. every phone has one eventually, i just hope it isnt major!
Software Pro
I like so far but here is cons
1. stylus man who on the earth thought of having it separate (you can attach on side but not built in)
2. Touch screen is not very responsive but not slow either so mix bag
3. voice quality is not very clear but not very one complaining
1. perfect in size for smartphone
2. wi-fi with great price $100 after rebate
3. it has all features and more compare to iphone for less
I am not going into very detail but so far so good. I will buy it for the price and feature combination.
Incite looks great so far
I purchased the Incite 6 days ago and so far it is working very well. I got this Smart phone because it will fill the need of a device capable of phone and messaging and also since it has Windows Mobile (6.1) it can run a drug reference software program I use in my daily practice (I am a veterinarian). I am selling my iPaq and my phone is old anyway - this fits both needs and has Wifi + Bluetooth. I have not tried the Wifi function yet.
I have not had any problems with it so far. It looks very cool, my GF who is not super tech savvy said "fancy shmancy". I think the stylus being connected to the unit by a short cord is going to help me keep from dropping it. The stylus pulls out from the stylus cap and then I tuck the stylus cap around my finger, so there's no way it will slip out of my hand. I haven't tried the camera yet.
It does have a learning curve, the manual is a couple of hundred pages.
>Great looking.
>Very clear sharp screen
>Touch screen auto turns off when you hold it to your face to talk, comes right back on when you move it away from your face.
>Bluetooth for ear bud was easy to setup.
>Sturdy. Should be OK in my front pants pocket.
>Great sound for ringtones.
>Auto tilt - landscape vs portrait based on how you hold it - reminds me of iphone.
>Logical user interface.
>Functional lock/off button on side - a single quick press and into my pocket it goes - I know it won't come on accidentally. Unlocking is easy.
>Can use your fingernail instead of stylus if you want to activate icons.
>Phone buttons for dialing are easy to use with fingers.
>Cleverly designed stylus.
>Screen is very good size for a device like this: 200x400 pixels.
>Small text size, though readable.
>Electronic touch QWERTY keyboard is small, requires the stylus.
>T9 buttons for texting are just big enough for my fingers. People with big fingers will need to use the stylus.
I almost had Storm envy until I realized the Storm has no Wifi!
LG Incite
Here goes my review:
Phone is light and kind of slim. Much slimmer than my old Treo 650 which I am replacing.
The Incite has the on screen keyboard throughout the phone features. A much needed feature, not like the LG Vu which I returned immediately just for missing that feature. See LG VU review. Windows Mobile OS is new to me, I like it but being that it is windows. The phone is a bit slow when moving to different windows and apps. Wish it had a little more speed to it, like my old treo. Onscreen color is good and glare is good as well. Much better than the LG Vu which doesnât let you view anything outside. Camera is good to, takes good pictures and it also has this built in picture frame, which I thought was a nice addition. (No flash though)
As the previous review stated, the toolbar doesnât look to be customizable. One thing I noticed that really bothers me is that I cannot set as default the call log or contacts. When you go in, you can change the filter to display what you want. So if you want to see all calls, incoming or outgoing calls only, you can, but when you leave the window. It goes back to either all for contacts or missed calls for the call log. I wonder if thatâs a bug or if it really is like that. Iâll have to ask LG about that. Another feature I find annoying is the flip mode. So if you turn the phone side ways, the view changes to landscape mode, but itâs not always effective. Takes a moment for it to switch and vice versa to normal mode. The phone is prone to fingerprints and the touch is not there just yet. I feel LG is just rushing out the touch phones without really putting any love into it. I was thinking of sending it back, but I decided to keep it. I really just need a phone to make a call on and send/receive my txt msgs, be a smart phone, slim and light and I feel this phone does a good job at it. Other than that, I really liked the phone. It has grown onto me.
Greate Value, Does everything
what other Smart Phones offered Wifi, Windows Mobile, 3.5mm Headphone Jack, and a 3mp Camera for $50 in early 2009?
and an awesome "aftermarket" community to boot.
I recommend browsing the internet and finding out how to put a "cooked" Windows Mobile 6.5 Rom on your Incite, it will perform much better, and no need to fear, these things are virtually unbrickable.
this phone has been able to do anything I ever had the passing desire to do. It's been great, sure it has some quirks, but if it didn't, it would have been worth 4x what it was selling for.
Also, there are more and more great programs for WM phones these days:
Microsoft My Phone is great
WMWiFiRouter is amazing
Skyfire or Opera Mobile
Google maps
I could go on and on
what it boils down to is: If you're willing to put in a little effort, you'll get a lot more than you paid for out of this phone
The LG Incite has a beautiful screen, however, just like you've always heard...Looks aren't everything. Yes, the camera is good, the video camera, too. But what was the device bought for ? To be a phone or internet browsing device, something like that? Well, that's where it fails. It fails to load pages that other mobile devices can. It fails to receive calls that I know are being made. We tested this one out many, many times as I was defending myself with, "I swear my phone NEVER rang!!". And the disappearing voice mail trick, that's a good one. Even left myself a couple, but where are they now? IDK. The phone didn't ring and went straight to voice mail, where they were lost forever. I have watched this from my own couch, dialing from another mobile phone. It is so hard to type a text or an email on this one. you can't see what you are typing and there seem to be floating "dead spots" on the touch screen. Mostly anything I need on the left side of the screen will take multiple taps and extreme patience to access. I have tried using it to find restaurants or stores, or what have you while on the bus, and it never seems to be any help at all. It is always still loading when you get to your stop. Can't read pdf files, either. Always blames them, claiming they are all corrupted. Same with any ringtone that is not the AT&T jingle. Contacts are very difficult to scroll through. I also don't understand why one area of the phone will allow finger scrolling, but the others make you try and fit your fat finger in the microscopic scroll bar. Viewing email....well, sure would like to...without all the "message will download next time you .." and then the "images blocked..download internet images" and then the "tap to scroll right". I have another device that just loads the email, without all the whining. The cord for the stylus decomposed months ago, I have no idea where the stylus fell off. Probably on the bus. City : Houston, TX - Carrier - AT&T. Used since 1/2009.
not a good Portable Data Assistant
This phone has one large flaw, the touch screen. Being totally reliant on this touch screen is enough to make my skin crawl because it malfunctions about 75% of the time. I have seen this phone call 911 on its own without the use of the hang up key due to phone software being plain old cruddy. Even with a software reset the device has quirks that are almost inconsolable. Another con of this phone is the large size makes it hard to hide where cell phones are not allowed, unless you have a purse or very large pockets I'm not sure where it could be contained unless on a belt case. I feel like lg products are failures in general especially when it comes to cell phones, they are the acre of computers and only God knows why this phone was ever released (money making scheme im sure, don't be blindsided by the appearance of this phone it is crud)
Good phone could be better..
Had this phone for a few months and i have to say it has some pretty nice features and a few annoyances. The coolest feature is it comes with Office built in so if you are a student or a businessperson this is a prime motivator. It's Windows Mobile 6 so it's a good step above their previous OS not as good as Android which is LINUX i won't even talk about the iPhone which is virus city. WiFi is a plus if you're out in the boondocks visiting but it sucks the battery dry. Making your own damn ringtones is a treat as always but easier to do for this phone. Video is good but forget taking pics at a dark bar. The primary cons are the obvious external stylus which you will lose as it is nanoscopic get some extra styluses. It could use more RAM to make the phone work faster. It does hang but i found after a reinstall that stopped (glad i use Flexilis for data backup). A good phone for business types, IT peeps and students but the average user will just find it frustrating.

A Comparison between Two Main Academic Literature Collections: Web of Science and Scopus Databases
Nowadays, the world's scientific community has been publishing an enormous number of papers in different scientific fields. In such environment, it is essential to know which databases are equally efficient and objective for literature searches. It seems that two most extensive databases are Web of Science and Scopus. Besides searching the literature, these two databases used to rank journals in terms of their productivity and the total citations received to indicate the journals impact, prestige or influence. This article attempts to provide a comprehensive comparison of these databases to answer frequent questions which researchers ask, such as: How Web of Science and Scopus are different? In which aspects these two databases are similar? Or, if the researchers are forced to choose one of them, which one should they prefer? For answering these questions, these two databases will be compared based on their qualitative and quantitative characteristics.

Reform Club ~ Architecture
The Reform Club in Pall Mall is one of the finest Victorian buildings in the country, a palatial masterpiece by Sir Charles Barry that has remained largely unchanged since it was completed in 1841.
In his design, Barry was inspired by the Italian Renaissance architecture that he absorbed as a young student in Rome, departing markedly from the gothic style he used for the new Houses of Parliament. The Reform Club externally bears a distinct resemblance to the Palazzo Farnese, which Michelangelo completed in 1589, and which Barry had studied closely. But Barry brought his own genius to bear in adapting and even improving on the Italian model.
The clubhouse is faced with Portland stone. It has nine bays on three floors; the windows on the two main floors are each enclosed in their own aedicule, a sort of mini building made up of two columns and a pediment across the top like a roof. The building is held down, as it were, by a deep projecting cornice, bearing at intervals along its length the emblems of the United Kingdom - the rose, the shamrock and the thistle - and dolphin heads, suggesting perhaps an island kingdom. And the whole is dramatically framed with heavy projecting stones, or quoins, at the corners. The entrance, at the centre of the building, is enclosed by an Italianate door case, which provides the whole with a focus and a centre of symmetry.
On entering from the street by a steep staircase, another set of steps brings the visitor to a vast square atrium that rises the full height of the building, reminiscent of an Italian courtyard, but adapted to the London weather by a glass roof constructed from a thousand lead crystal lozenges, each finely faceted to diffuse and refract the light in every direction. In the centre is a multi-coloured mosaic pavement bearing an Etruscan design.
A number of rooms lead off from the ground floor, including the Coffee Room (the traditional name for the restaurant), which runs the entire length of the building overlooking the garden at the back. 20 Ionic columns support an upper gallery, from which a corresponding range of Corinthian columns rise. The gallery is reached by a remarkable tunnel-vaulted staircase, again inspired by Italian models. The Library, the Smoking Room and the Card Room lead off the Gallery.
While the Club presents a chaste and stately appearance on the outside, inside it is richly flamboyant. Large portraits of Whig and Radical leaders of the nineteenth century reform movement are set in panels in the upper and lower floors of the atrium. The walls and columns are faced with marble and scagliola, an artificial marble, the secrets of whose manufacture have only been rediscovered in recent years. The colours are deep red and green, white, sienna, black and gold. The principal Club rooms have richly ornamented and gilded ceilings incorporating elaborate versions of the letter R. The grandeur of the effect is magnified throughout the Club by the use of huge mirrors.

I have been using Thermo Scientifics Maxima H Minus cDNA double stranded synthesis kit to generate dscDNA suitable for Illumina Sequencing after purification. The kit states that it works for 0.5ng-5ug of total RNA. There is no PCR amplification step with this kit.
I checked my rRNA depleted sample concentration using the Ribogreen Assay and got an estimate of 300ng/ul. I used 9ul of this total RNA along with 10pmol of random hexamer primers to try and generate longer cDNA fragments. However, when I went to check the dscDNA on a 1% agrose gel with EtBr, I could not see any product. This RNA sample was stored in liquid nitrogen for 5months so I don't think it degraded over time. I'm going to check the integrity using the RNA picochip for the Bioanalyzer 2100 but doubt that it degraded. Any suggestions on how to improve the first strand rxn? How could I check the first strand synthesis? I also am using the High Sensitivity DNA chip from Agilent to check for low concentrations of dscDNA but am not sure if this has been tried by others (the website states that it can be used for fragments of dsDNA and tech support did not say the chip is NOT intended for this use so I assume it's okay to use it).

Matrix-assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Linear Ion Trap Orbitrap XL (MALDI LTQ Orbitrap XLTM)
In the Thermo Scientific MALDI LTQ Orbitap XLTM instrument a MALDI source is coupled with a hybrid analyzer consisting of a linear ion trap (LTQ) and an Orbitrap. The LTQ provides fast sample analysis which is complementary to the electrospray, while the Orbitrap provides high resolution (minimum resolution 7,500 maximum resolution >100,000 at m/z 400), high mass accuracy (< 3 ppm with external calibration, < 2 ppm using internal calibration), and high sensitivity (sub-femtomol range for peptides), features which are required for unambiguous protein identification.
This system is suitable for both classical gel-based proteomics and for direct tissue analysis. The available fragmentation techniques are: CID (collision induced dissociation), PQD (pulsed Q collision induced dissociation which enables trapping of low mass fragment ions with m/z 50 - 2000). Moreover, precursor ion selection can be performed in the linear ion trap and fragmentation can be done in the collision cell (HCD) with high resolution accurate mass detection in the Orbitrap mass analyzer (m/z 50 – 4000).
The tissue-imaging solution provides researchers with unparalleled sensitivity and unmatched MSn spectral quality of linear ion trap technology as well as faster sample analysis, compared with the standard practice of homogenizing and extracting from tissue. The Thermo ImageQuest software enables the localization of peptides/small molecules within the analysed tissue, thus being a powerful tool for the presentation of MS images directly from tissue samples.

FCI delivers benefits to the grower on many different levels, providing them maximum return on investment. The key to a successful FCI system is a sprinkler designed and engineered to deliver water with maximum uniformity at a low application rate that matches soil infiltration.
That's where Nelson Irrigation's Rotator sprinkler technology comes into play. The complete line of Nelson Rotator sprinklers — from the R5 to the R33 — has been specifically designed to deliver high uniformity in real world conditions. When combined with proper spacing and good hydraulic design, Rotator Full Coverage Irrigation systems can meet or exceed the distribution uniformity of part-coverage, drip, or micro sprinkler systems. They also provide the opportunity to grow a cover crop, which enhances the overall environment for a tree or vine crop.
Rotator® Full Coverage Irrigation offers many benefits to growers not available through part-coverage, drip, spray jet, or spinner irrigation systems, such as:
- Reduced tree stress during periods of heat or harvest
- Ability to establish and maintain a healthy cover crop
- Improved water infiltration and reduced ponding
- Prevention of soil cracking
- Environmental control: cooling and dust suppression
- Improved effectiveness of chemical and fertilizer applications
- Salinity management
- Increased overall nutrient availability

Dr. Darinka Dentcheva Awarded NSF Grant to Aid High-Stakes Decision Making
Mathematical models quantify risk over time as they predict future states of real-world systems.
Hoboken, NJ, October 04, 2013 --(
)-- Dr. Darinka Dentcheva of the Department of Mathematical Sciences at Stevens Institute of Technology has spent years applying her expertise in stochastic optimization to create mathematical models that aid decision-making in a wide variety of real-world situations. These types of models have been applied to problems like generating electric power efficiently, making a profit in financial markets, and assessing risk in medical operations. She has recently been awarded a grant by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to establish optimal control of multi-dimensional dynamic stochastic systems with risk aversion. Working with frequent collaborator Andrzej Ruszczyski of Rutgers University, Dr. Dentcheva is advancing research on risk-averse discrete-time models and developing a general methodology for incorporating risk models into continuous-time optimal control problems of Markov structure.
"Mathematical models for optimization and risk analysis inform decisions in government and industry that help to protect and enrich our lives, guiding many aspects of policy in energy production and distribution, telecommunication, insurance and finance, logistics, medicine, security and the military," says Dr. Michael Bruno, Dean of the Charles V. Schaefer, Jr. School of Engineering and Science. "Dr. Dentcheva's numerous grants and publications on the subject demonstrate that she is at the forefront of this important field of research."
Dr. Dentcheva's latest efforts entail the application of risk aversion in problems involving controlled Markov chains, which are a type of stochastic process named after Andrey Markov, the Russian mathematician who first investigated them. Markov chains have states that change over time, with the distinct property that a future state can be predicted with knowledge of only the present state and the chosen control. Markov systems have numerous applications in the modeling of real-world processes.
In most decision and control problems under uncertainty that arise in the real world, decisions have to be made over long periods of time. Every choice that is made, as well as random factors in the environment, effects the evolution of the system and creates a need for new decisions. Therefore, a policy has to be designed that incorporates rules for responding to future states of the system. So far, most theoretical models of such control processes have been based on average performance criteria. In some cases, however, e.g. making decisions about medical procedures like organ transplants, it may be more important to avoid the worst possible outcome for patients than it is to ensure a high average performance or success rate. Dr. Dentcheva's research therefore incorporates crucial considerations about the risk of highly undesirable scenarios, establishing mathematical models for quantifying risk in dynamical systems that evolve in a continuous way. It also provides methods to determine the best policy when risk aversion is essential.
Dr. Dentcheva and Dr. Ruszczyski will face three major challenges during the course of their project. First, they will develop proper mathematical tools for measuring risk in a time-consistent manner that would be suitable for continuous-time Markov systems. Second, the investigators will develop optimality theory for control problems involving time-consistent dynamic models of risk. This includes the analysis of the structure of the control models, existence of solutions, and properties of the solutions. Finally, when developing risk-averse control models researchers must ensure the possibility of solving the problems numerically in an efficient way.
According to Dr. Alexei Miasnikov, Director of the Department of Mathematical Sciences, "Dr. Dentcheva's longstanding commitment to impactful research in stochastic systems has produced tremendously valuable results. Her latest work on Markov systems promises to continue her extensive record of excellence in collaborative research and advance the analysis of stochastic systems."
Dr. Darinka Dentcheva is the Director of the graduate program for Analysis and Optimization of Stochastic Systems, which is a unique interdisciplinary program providing solid and rigorous education in the area of analysis and optimization of complex stochastic systems under uncertainty and risk. She is a member of the Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics, as well as the Associate Editor of SIAM Journal on Optimization, the SIAM Review, and the journal "Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations", which is part of the European Series on Applied and Industrial Mathematics. In addition, she is a member of the publication committee of the Mathematical Optimization Society, past member of the Stochastic Programming Committee of the Mathematical Optimization Society and a reviewer for Mathematical Review.

Oh my, I didn't know that "Twice Upon A Time" would already be used for fanfics a couple of times already -.- I'm slow... Anyways, I just wanted to share with you guys a fan-fic / story that I have spent a lot of time on. My inspiration comes mainly from Queen Seon Deok, Bu Bu Jing Xin, Gong & all those other good historical dramas (: I absolutely love these kind of movies, they really touch you!
Anyways, in this story, I obviously used my favorite actors and actresses to be the main characters ..
Here is the link to my story (and I am still in the process of writing it), I couldn't find any other place but Asianfanfics to post my story so this is where I am starting. This is my first one so I'm sure you guys will find lots of mistakes -.- But yes I did try my best so please take some time to read my fanfic.

POTOMAC, Md. — R. Sargent Shriver was always an optimist, pioneering the Peace Corps and running the War on Poverty during the turbulent 1960s — an idealist even as the running mate on a Democratic presidential ticket doomed for failure.
At his funeral Mass on Saturday, mourners from philanthropist and musician Bono to Vice President Joe Biden to former President Bill Clinton honored a man who dedicated his life to serving others. The celebration was filled with songs, laughter and fond memories.
"Fifty years ago, President Kennedy told us we should ask what we can do for our country," Clinton told the gathering at Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Church. "A whole generation of us understood what President Kennedy meant by looking at Sargent Shriver's life."
Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
House Speaker John Boehner became animated Tuesday over the proposed Keystone Pipeline, castigating the Obama administration for not having approved the project yet.
- Budget deficits shrinking but set to grow after 2015
- Senate readies another volley on unemployment aid
- Obama faces Syria standstill
- Fluke files to run in California
- Christie acknowledges federal subpoena
- Obama says Fox News's O'Reilly 'absolutely' unfair in extended interview
- Christie security officer hit with shoplifting charges
- Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
More politics
Shriver, who died Tuesday at age 95, was affectionately known as "Sarge." He grew up during the Great Depression, went to Yale on a scholarship and served in the Navy during World War II. Then, he fulfilled his brother-in-law John F. Kennedy's campaign promise by developing the Peace Corps into a lasting international force.
"When he was starting the Peace Corps from scratch, many people thought he was naive and too idealistic, wanting to send a bunch of young Americans abroad" to some of the poorest countries of the world, said his son, Mark Shriver. "Daddy saw people helping people."
Others were inspired to their own social activism.
"I was a student really of the Sarge way of doing things," U2 frontman Bono told The Associated Press after singing at the service. Bono founded the Red Campaign with Shriver's eldest son Bobby to fight AIDS in Africa.
"It's a rare combination of grace and strategy," Bono said of Sargent Shriver.
First lady Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey attended. Wyclef Jean played the piano and sang "All the Ends of the Earth" as guests — and even Cardinal Donald Wuerl, the archbishop of Washington — clapped along. Later, Vanessa Williams softly performed "Soon and Very Soon." Bono and Glen Hansard, who starred in the movie "Once," sang "Make Me a Channel of Your Peace."

One by one, many of Shriver's 19 grandchildren read short remembrances about their grandfather, recalling his passion for helping people, his hugs and his love of baseball.
Cardinal Wuerl told Shriver's grandchildren to live with the same courage and conviction.
Shriver's youngest son, Anthony Shriver, welcomed guests before the Mass began, cracking jokes and honoring his father for always making people feel valued. Anthony Shriver recalled one of his last conversations with his father. He said his father told him: "You tell Cardinal Wuerl to make Eunice a saint!" The crowd erupted in laughter.
Shriver's late wife was Special Olympics founder Eunice Kennedy Shriver.
Tim Shriver — now chairman and CEO of the Special Olympics — said his father never coddled the children but "coached us to pursue those big, big ideas."
Tim Shriver encouraged others to see the world the way his father did: "I hope you, too, will carry a little Sarge in you."
Maria Shriver, the former NBC reporter and wife of former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, said her family took comfort in "knowing that Daddy is in heaven with God and with Mummy."
Sargent Shriver was a businessman and lawyer descended from a prominent Maryland family. He had suffered from Alzheimer's disease for the past eight years. His wife died in 2009 at age 88.
Shriver will be buried Saturday in the same cemetery as his wife in Hyannis, Mass.
Mark Shriver recalled some of his father's final years.
"Alzheimer's robs you of so much. In Dad's case, it stripped him to the core," he said. Still, he "would shake your hand and smile, look you in the eye and tell you you were the greatest and that he loves you."
Sargent Shriver was former Sen. George McGovern's running mate in the 1972 presidential election, but the Democrats lost in a landslide to President Richard M. Nixon.
Clinton recalled that difficult campaign he worked on, and knowing the McGovern-Shriver ticket would lose. "Everyone knew President Nixon was going to win re-election, unless he robbed a bank," Clinton said, drawing laughs.
Still, Shriver campaigned until the end, even when it was most difficult.
"Sargent Shriver was going to go out with his head held high," Clinton said.
Biden credited Shriver for helping him win his own Senate seat in Delaware during a tough race that same year.
A last-minute visit from Shriver put him over the top in a heavily Republican state at the time. "That's when the sun rose for me," Biden said.
"He refused to allow pessimism to shape his thinking," Biden said. "It wasn't in his DNA."
In 1994, Shriver received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor. His son Anthony recalled the day his father received that honor, addressing Clinton.
"I'll never forget him there in the White House and you looking at him and giving him one of those big Bill Clinton hugs," he said. "Wow was he high that day."
As the family walked out with the casket, Bono and Hansard led the crowd in singing "Forever Young."

31 artists...31 days. Spend every day of March with me at The Altered Page to meet the 31 spotlight artists in my book The Pulse of Mixed Media: Secrets and Passions of 100 Artists Revealed. See their beautiful faces, read their 'quirky' bios written in their own words, see some of their art that led me to invite them to be a part of my book, and hear my story of what they each mean to me. Then click on over to their sites and see what they have to say about The Pulse of Mixed Media.
A space where at times emotional turbulence and noise are ruling...
Where intense happiness and suffering meet face to face...
A space where I am balanced within myself, between extremes and feeling grateful to be alive.
I have been trying to remember when I first 'met' Viv and found her blog. I can barely remember a time as a blogger when I didn't know her. I did find an email from back in July 2008, when I wrote to Viv to say how happy I was that we were both in the same issue of Artful Blogging. Since then we have 'shared' so much more, including our Self Contained collaboration with Stephanie McAtee. I absolutely love Viv's approach to art making and her style -- filled with color, symbols, grunge, drips and splatters. I happen to love her accent too!
Viv is so far away from me geographically (more than 10,000 miles from NYC to WA Australia) but I feel very connected to her as if she were next door. Despite living on the opposite ends of the earth, we have had many experiences in common, not the least of which is therapy - with me being a psychologist and Viv currently studying transpersonal art therapy. Somehow Viv and I know that we are destined to meet in person, despite the distance. It is just a matter of time.

Here is my new Time Trial helmet. I was trying to put my head in such a way that you could see the back of it, but all I managed to do was make it look like I have a crick in my neck and a gigantic finger. Perfect.
Since I can't figure out how the new Blogger works, I can't write the text underneath each picture like I used to. So, the flowers below are yellow irises from my backyard. None of the purple ones have bloomed, but the yellow ones are pretty nice.
I tried to upload a video I took of our cats below. I have no idea if it will work. I titled it: Archie Letting the Cat Out of the Bag. I'm sure Stinky will love the fact that the cats are playing in the bag that holds her new graduation dress. I figure if she didn't like it, she wouldn't leave it on the floor, right?

This is where HD is even more glorious... watch A-Rod respond to his 3rd base coach..."F-Them" (towards the Jays). Then as he enters the bench he has some choice words for the fans above teh dugout. I guess they were fornicate themselves as well.
How long before the rest of the Yankess grab their sacks of dorrknobs and go to town?

A good bench-clearing brawl might've been the best thing for both teams. (If Tha Yanks would've even stood up for A-Rod.) John McDonald would've been legendary if he'd just pulled a "Barrett on Pierzynski" at third.
And A-Rod? You obviously care, since if you "could" care less, you care. If you "couldn't" care less, then you don't care.

Cheating, adultery and BAD GRAMMAR. They will all be in his next children's book.
I think plunking Giambi immediately after would have done a world of good. Because then Giambi is ARod's problem. Then he'd see if his guys "had a problem with it". What a sad little man he is.

Record-breaking cold and howling winds froze the tri-state overnight as temperatures dropped to 10 degrees in New York City and and below zero in at least one suburb, with wind gusts making it feel even worse.
Temperatures Friday morning either met or broke record lows for Feb. 28 in Bridgeport, Conn., Islip, N.Y., and at LaGuardia and John F. Kennedy airports, forecasters say. It hit 10 degrees in Central Park, five degrees from the park's record low for the day, set in 1934.
Most areas saw the mercury dip into the teens and single-digits overnight, but it felt even colder as tumbling temperatures combined with icy gusts that made it feel 25 degrees below zero at times. In Montecello, N.Y., temperatures dipped as low as 2 below zero.
Friday is expected to be the coldest day of the week as temperatures struggle to reach the 20s, forecasters say. Wind chills are expected to be well below zero, but the wind will ease up as the day goes on. The bright sun will do little to ease the painful cold.
After a dry Saturday, precipitation is expected to return Sunday with a mix of snow, sleet, freezing rain and plain rain developing across the area. Snow and sleet are likely to linger in the city and points north and west, while the system is expected to transition to rain along the coast.
The storm system sticks around through the beginning of the work week, with wintry mixes possible both Monday and Tuesday, forecasters say. The storm will move out Tuesday, leaving the tri-state area with a fresh blast of cold air Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday as temperatures fall below 30 again.
Blame the polar vortex for the below-average temperatures. The polar vortex is a system that usually stays near the North Pole and Canada, but has pushed south this week.
