How fast will Telecom NZ's XT network go?
Summary: More details on Telecom's XT network has been revealed, but why can't its wholesale partners have access to it?
Put in a quick question to Telecom New Zealand about what kind of speeds users of the new XT network can expect, Rebecca Earl, the telco's Sponsorship and Mobile PR manager, responded with:
Regarding speeds our new XT Mobile Network supports average speeds of 3Mbps downlink and 1Mbps uplink, and peak download speeds will be 14.4Mbps downlink and 5.7Mbps uplink. Later in 2009 we're enhancing our new mobile network by upgrading to Evolved HSPA, or HSPA+.
This will allow average speeds of 4Mbps downlink and 1Mbps uplink, and peak download speeds will be 21Mbps downlink and 5.7Mbps uplink. We are one of only a number of networks worldwide who have committed to deploying this cutting edge technology.
Vodafone is currently tooling away, upgrading its network to 7.2Mbps; so on paper, Telecom's new network will be faster. However, it remains to be seen if Telecom will have a 14.4Mbps capable device, or be stuck with 7.2Mbps until 21Mbps cards (and maybe handsets) become available. While I have seen announcements from Far East vendors about 14.4Mbps HSDPA devices, you'd be hard-pressed to locate one currently anywhere; that's not to say Telecom couldn't source one of course, for 850MHz.
As for the 21Mbps upgrade, expect Vodafone to follow suit later this year and also kick off LTE, being a Nokia-Siemens test-bed operator for that technology.
With UMTS/WCDMA making such performance leaps in a short period of time, you have to ask what Telecom's MVNO partners think. TelstraClear is one, and has been told it won't have access to the WCDMA network on wholesale terms until 2011. Meanwhile, it'll be stuck with Telecom's existing CDMA 2000 1xRTT/EV-DO Rev A technology, which is no slouch but deserted by vendors and falling behind WCDMA.
Now that Vodafone is signing up more MVNOs — it already has two on-board, and announced today that Callplus/Slingshot will become one too — it would pay for Telecom to start thinking wholesale as well for XT. Otherwise, Vodafone will dominate in that market too.

Jackson State University has taken ownership of Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium from the state. And we're told fans will most likely see changes in the fall.
University officials said earlier this year they will pour $1.5 million to $3 million into the 50-year-old stadium.
Most of the money coming from a legislative bond bill. Some of the changes to take place would be a brand new paint job to a worn press box a brand new high-tech scoreboard and renovations to some of the elevators.

Now I am setting registers by running a firmware application and running on ARM side by connecting CCS using JTAG emulator. What I did was, loaded the dsp binary in the desired location from ARM application. Then I set the resest for DSP module by setting PSC_MDCTL for DSP. Then loaded DSPBOOTADDR with the starting address of the loaded code and took of the reset. The concept was, on reset, the DSP will start running from the reset address or DSPBOOTADDR. But the DSP code dint start running. Is there any other configuration that I have to look into or consider while doing this? Or What happens in PROC_start?

Wish these pictures were just a tad bigger. They look great though- making me very hungry!
Vive la France indeed! Thanks for all of these great posts; I'm a major francophile, especially in the kitchen. The October issue of Food & Wine is also all about French food (and wine) too—must be something in the air.
Please for the love of god either make the photos clickable to the linked item, or put the links in order of the pictures. It is -impossible- on these kinds of posts to find the info I'm looking for. (Specifically the cookies (?) in the bottom right) I don't see any post in bold that makes sense with that photo.
The best macarons are not from Paris. They are from Maison Adam in the Pays Basque: http://www.macarons-adam.com/
zaydia, the photo is probably the pistachio-lemon langues de chat.

Here's "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star Teresa Giudice (left) -- and Kim Hunter as Dr. Zira in the 1968 film "Planet of the Apes" (right).
One of them is known to act uncivilized.
We're just sayin'.
Damn yo, Obama is white straight pimped slapped da sh*t outta dat racist black ho!!! lol, she can't even come up with jack sh*t to retaliate!!! You da man dawg!!!! You straight wiped the floor with that dumb bitch's grill!!!!
I ran into your great, great grandmother last night. She was bagging my groceries for me. I told her she looked awesome for her age but then she told me she's only 37. She was upset that your 9 brothers and half brothers all have those nasty ass, black warts all over their necks and on the back of their heads. What's up with that? She said she was disappointed that you and your 18 siblings all dropped out of school by the 8th grade. But yet she was proud of the fact that ya'll at least waited to start having sex until you all got in the 6th grade. I didn't know what all that was about. I drove by a soup kitchen this morning and thought I saw you in the line, but it was hard to tell since all ya'll look alike and it was only africans needing the handout, imagine that!! LOL!!!! I was worried one of your 9 brothers or half brothers got shot last night while I was watching the news. Something about one homie wearing colors direspecting another homie cause his colors didn't match. I guess its some sort of tribal disput bs or something, LOL!!! Any luck on finding your daddy? Odds are he's locked up in a jail that's within 10 miles of your government project provided home, you know, cause all blacks have to walk and don't own cars. He probably got popped trying to rape a white chick. Odds are he's probably close to your same age so you can narrow down your search that way, LOL!!! Have you managed to name all your bastard kids yet? I heard africans like to give their kids the most ridiculous names possible and spell them wrong. Why don't just run down a list of foreign cars for names? That sounds about right, plus it'll give them something to strive for since they won't ever ride in a car, well, at least until they turn 8 years old and get arrested for their first crime. How's that Hooked On Phonics working out for you? Are people starting to understand some of the words coming out of you mouth yet? Maybe when you start putting together complete sentences you can get promoted from foodcourt duty to parking lot detail. I hear that's a full 25 cent increase!!!! LOL!!! Too damn easy!!!!!
In regards to the Michelle Obama comment made by teacup .. "You are a pig in every way" but your opinion is your opinion....Now I will make mine about Teresa she is a immature woman who acted a fool at the "Last Supper" episode in front of children and infront of everyone else.. She is like her daughter she wants attention .. Why else would you be talking about sex at the table where children are eating and later tossed a table over ... Yea Teresa thats class .. I have a whole new outlook on people with money.. Its like giving a million dollars to some preschoolers....
Wow reading all racists comments let me make one ....Dang America the Beautiful even after 9/11 huh... I guess you guys got tired of playing like you had a black friend hidden some where... The last time I looked at TV there was only one shade crying about their 401k, homes... Guess what color faces you see in the foodstamp line now...LOL..Since we are talking about black women straighten their hair.. lets not get started on the botox in the lips, forehead, cheekbones..and wow she would talk about the tans.oh oh yea the butt lifts ( that was much needed by you all though) . as far as the comment about raping white women ....all the boogie man stories we use to hear when we were little were really white women sneaking in the houses of many black men... Since we all are being ignorant on here ... I love to see peoples TRUE personalities come out ...
awww now why did ya do that I love Teresa....your beautiful Teresa
Tmz. A bunch or racists cowards. PRINT THAT!!
i wrote on facebook when i first saw teresa, she looked like a gorilla. & was the irs watching this boring show. i watched the 1st & last. caroline thinks shes the god father.(you mess with my family-your messing with me.who writes her crap.
again with the wig over forehead she looks like a gorilla but she says she has class and is hot while she throws the f word & tables around.she keeps saying she is an Italian with class. apparently she & caroline never saw an Italian with class. that family is far from hot-in fact they're closer to ugly.
well again caroline thought petals of wisdom dropped from her tongue. shes an idiot, who thinks her advice is wise. again teresa with the wig over the forehead looking like a gorilla.again caroline starts with the family crap. shes not the godfather-will someone please tell her she is a boring women who got lucky to be on tv. she thinks only her & dina have any smarts. that shows how dumb she is.
I think the Jersey housewife looks like she is Vincent Pastore from the Sopranos. Look at them together, they have the same nose hair, you be the judge
Teresa does not have much class with her very brash and rude ways. Being on the show itself and acting like she does with her swearing and temper tantrums...all the while knowing she is on camera and that her friends are watching...definitely not classy and makes her an easy target for those that dislike her.
That being said, this thread was not started to ignite racist comments. It is about Teresa specifically (who in my opinion, probably likes the attention, good or bad!) and is all in good fun. Let's not start with the personal attacks.
I agree with teacup-100%
You madea mistake, the photo on the right IS that guy osama Hussein errrr, I mean Obama's wife.fur sure nizzle
Caroline should be put in a home. this way she can sit & talk family with the other old people. teresa has to pull her wig up on her head cause she still looks like a gorilla. why did the show end with the stupid women pretending they knew something the audience didn't know. now they go back to real life-not to that scripted show we were suppossed to think was real. as far as class. yea-it was low class teresa & caroline had.
Michelle, BAM BAM O'bama, does look a great deal more like Dr. Zira than Teresa. Teresa's problem is just her hairline. Michelle, well, she's just ugly and there is simply no help for her.
Bookerb, talk about ugly maybe we should put your mother's picture up here. A hippos ass would be a better comparison. So many words can describe that senior citizen whore of a mother of yours but I only have time for just a few. She's a ugly, cheap, pathetic, doublewide trailer living, fat, alcoholic, incompetent, wearing tons of makeup to hide her age spots wrinkled old hag. CROWS FEET IS A B#TCH HUHH MOMS...lol!! I SEE WHITE IS DEFINITELY CRACKING!! The poor white trailer trash is still dying her hair to hide the full head of gray hair she has. Enjoy life my dear since you only have 2 more years left to live!!
FIRST LADY MICHELLE OBAMA on the other hand is a educated, intelligent, classy, beautiful black woman.
I love sexy, beautiful, ageless, exotic, educated, outspoken, independent, strong black women. Thats why I only date and married beautiful black sistas because of their smooth cafe o lait skin skin tones, nice hour glass figures, radiance ,gracefullness, sassiness, regalness, essence, style and intelligence. Black women always and forever will have it going on.

On one hand, can you really blame the high elves? I mean, they trained the humans in the ways of magic. Sure, out of desperate measures, but still. High elves believe themselves the masters of magic. Which master likes when their apprentice surpasses them, then starts boasting as if the apprentice never needed the master's lessons? Then comes Arthas, a fallen human, which razes the ancient elven kingdom and almost kills them all, and, most important, corrupts the Sunwell. Afterwards, high elves (at that time blood elves) are pretty much screwed. Without their ancient source of power, their kingdom shattered, their numbers thinned and then Garithos shows up and treats them like scum. Tell me. How can a blood elf really feel anything but hatred for humans? I assume that some of them might think that if they hadn't taught humans magic, nothing like this had ever happened. No Medivh, no Ner'Zhul, no Kel'Thuzad, no death knight Arthas and no Lich King. Nothing of this would've happened, if humans were not taught magic. So how can they really feel any sympathy towards humans?
No, I am not a die hard elf supporter, however I do try to look at the matters from both sides. Saying that elves were outcast only because of their arrogance is incorrect, there were many more reasons.

The Future of Trading
10 Top CIOs on Wall Street | Why Mutation Will Matter | Buyside Traders: Not Taking Orders Any More | Calculating Cost First, Trading Second | Trading Desk, in One Box | Changing the Minds of Star Programmers | 2015: The Always On Desk
Trading Desk, in One Box
November 4, 2010
Let's say you need a dozen feed handlers, taking in market data from a dozen sources at the same time. Let's say you want to put nine algorithmic trading engines to work. And send out thousands of orders, through two different market gateways.
What do you need to get the job done?
One server, in a single slot on a data center rack.
In effect, the trading desk has been put in a box. Instead of tying together processors and data appliances with cables across many racks, it's getting easier and faster to put the network inside one computing container.
And that gets you closer to the matching engines of any venue you want to reach.
"You can put this in Mahwah and we will have five markets there'' by early next year, said Feargal O'Sullivan, head of enterprise software in the Americas for NYSE Euronext, which now houses the matching engines of its exchanges at its new data center in Mahwah, N.J. "So you can deploy the box in there and hit any of those markets very quickly, very easily and then you're connected to away markets as well at high speeds.''
In effect, there's no network. All the processing of historical and current data takes place, inside the box. All complex event processing occurs inside the box. All algorithms run inside the box. And all trade orders come out of the box.
"The beauty of it is that it's very simple. You don't need Infiniband, you don't need 10 gigabit Ethernet, you don't need complex drivers, network interface cards or anything like that,'' said O'Sullivan. "You run it all on one box and the latency between the processes is very low.''
Replacing Infiniband or 10 gigabit Ethernet cables are something that chipmaker Intel calls Quick Path Interconnect links. These links come in pairs and connect each processor and component on a motherboard to each other.
And now, IBM, for instance, has come out with a server that uses QPI to link 32 Intel processors together, in that one box. Making the trading desk in one box feasible.
The development is an outgrowth of work on middleware that the NYSE performed a few years ago to allow different processors to share local pockets of memory.
This helped make it possible to replace several machines with several processors sharing multiple sources of data with one box, able to handle the basic tasks of taking in data, making strategic trading calculations, sending out orders and routing them to the desired destinations, all in microseconds.
In fact, O'Sullivan says now an application can run at the clockspeed of the core processor to which it has been assigned – and run without interruption. Memory can be read in under 10 billionths of a second. Applications can talk to other applications in 2 millionths of a second.
But cables have not completely gone away. If you take a couple Quick Path Interconnect cables, you can hook up two of these boxes and get 64 cores lashed together, at such speeds.
And cables are still needed to hook to the boxes that house the exchanges' matching engines.

A Madison County judge set a new hearing date for a former Huntsville City Schools choral director charged with child torture.
Investigators say a 2-year-old suffered third degree burns on both hands while in the care of Cleopha Pair.
School administrators placed Pair on administrative leave following his arrest. He resigned weeks later.
Pair was supposed to appear in court June 12 for a preliminary hearing. That hearing was delayed until July 24.
Following the preliminary hearing a judge will determine if prosecutors have enough evidence to send the case to a grand jury.

The list of improving U.S. housing markets, which had been growing for seven months in row, remained essentially flat in April. April showed 273 metros on the National Association of Home Builders/First American Improving Markets Index (IMI)--down one from March's list.
The list again includes metros in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
The IMI lists metropolitan areas showing at least six months of improvement from their respective troughs in housing permits, employment, and house prices. Five markets were added and six markets dropped from the list in April.
"The stability in the improving markets list this month is encouraging, with three quarters of all metros tracked by our index considered on the upswing as the housing recovery spreads to parts of every state," said NAHB Chairman Rick Judson, a home builder from Charlotte, NC. "In some markets, the main thing that's holding back a recovery is a relatively thin inventory of homes for sale, which could be resolved if builders had easier access to credit for building homes and putting people back to work."
"After a strong run-up through late 2012 and early 2013, the number of improving markets is holding steady at a high level," said NAHB Chief Economist David Crowe. "We can expect to see more gradual gains going forward as challenges related to increased demand kick in - including everything from tightened supplies of developable lots and labor to the rising cost of building materials."
"With 75% of the country seeing measurable improvement in housing market conditions, the outlook is definitely brightening for local economies this spring," noted Kurt Pfotenhauer, vice chairman of First American Title Insurance Company.

Florida CIO Office
Florida Chief Information Officer Kimberly Bahrami on Feb. 4 said she would resign, effective Feb. 27.
Governor Jeb Bush formally appointed Bahrami as CIO in July 2002, although she had been acting state CIO since August 2001. Before coming to Florida, she worked on many federal information technology projects, and on several European IT programs for Science Applications International Corp.
While in Florida, Bahrami focused on citizen-centered services, particularly the state Web portal, MyFlorida.com. She also led the review of the state's IT investment processes and provided support to the critical infrastructure protection plan as a member of the Domestic Security Oversight Board.
Bahrami could not be reached for comment.
State officials did not immediately return inquiries about the search for a replacement.

ATLANTA — Atlanta Thrashers defenseman Johnny Oduya didn't hesitate to point out his team's biggest flaw after a deflating 3-0 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets at Philips Arena Thursday night.
"We just need better effort, and that's pretty much what it is," he said.
One day after allowing 55 shots to the Florida Panthers, the Thrashers allowed 42 to the Blue Jackets in a game that could have been much more lopsided were it not for the play of goalie Ondrej Pavelec (39 saves).
"You can't ask much more from our goalies the last few nights," forward Jim Slater said. "[Chris Mason] gave us the win last night and Pavey played the best he could tonight and we just couldn't help him out in the offensive zone."
It was the first time this season the Thrashers were shut out, who came into the game second in the NHL in scoring as Columbus goalie Mathieu Garon earned his second straight shutout.
For all their offensive ineptitude, it was defensive turnovers and poor positioning that plagued the Thrashers all evening and both directly resulted in Columbus' first goal. After turning the puck over, Blue Jackets' captain Rick Nash started behind the net and put a shot on net that Jakub Voracek tipped to Derek Brassard, who buried it from a sharp angle past Pavalec for his fifth goal of the season.
But in Atlanta head coach Craig Ramsay's eyes, that goal should have never happened.
"Our d-zone coverage on the first goal was just sloppy," Ramsay said. "We had our sticks up and we weren't moving out feet and we have to do a better job of starting and stopping in the defensive zone. We looked tired.
"Individually, we aren't winning enough battles," he continued. "We have to have everybody involved and you have to win battles at both ends of the rink if you're going to compete in the National Hockey League."
The Thrashers know they need to cut down on the amount of shots they allow, and that starts with possession the puck in the offensive zone.
"It's tough for teams to shoot at you when you have the puck and you can dictate the play a little more," Oduya said. "Right now we need to find a way to get our enthusiasm and our speed back."
Columbus extended the lead to 2-0 at 10:14 of the third period when Mark Methot blasted a point shot over Pavelec. R.J. Umberger completed the scoring with an empty netter with 1:26 left.
And for the second time this season, the Thrashers set a record for lack of attendance, with only 8,461 fans in the arena.
"Obviously it would be nice to play in front of a big crowd," Slater said. "But once you get moving you cant be worried about what's going on on the other side of the glass, you have to stay focused on your job."
"You have to create your own atmosphere," Ramsay added. "It's up to us to create an atmosphere by playing in the offensive zone."
The Thrashers will be back to practice Friday before they welcome the defending Stanley Cup champion Chicago to town on Saturday.

Hinata and Kageyama genderbend—-?
Headcanon is that Kageyama would absolutely not be feminine, she wouldn't even care about her appearance, only caring about volleyball, wearing boxers and being flat XD
On the other side, Hinata would be a really
cute cheerful character, of course loving volleyball, and really energetic! Actually she doesn't care about how she looks, she just wants to be simple (?). Oh right, probably a C-cup?

Czech Republic advances to Davis Cup semifinal
Tokyo, Japan (4E Sports) – Two-time defending champion Czech Republic booked a spot in the semifinal of the Davis Cup World Group after Radek Stepanek and Lukas Rosol prevailed in the doubles match Saturday.
The partnership of Stepanek and Lukas Rosol cruised to a straight-set victory over the Japanese duo of Tatsuma Ito and Yasutaka Uchiyama, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4, to advance against the winner of the France-Germany clash.
This was the third meeting between Czech Republic and Japan. The former Czechoslovakia beat Japan in 1935 and the Japanese topped the Czechs in their first-ever clash way back in 1930.
The Czechs have to wait another day to determine their next opponent after France clinched the doubles to cut Germany's lead to 2-1.
Julien Benneteau and Michael Llodra beat the German duo of Andre Begemann and Tobias Kamke, 6-1, 7-6 (7-5), 4-6, 7-5.
Germany took a 2-0 lead in Friday's opening singles rubbers after getting wins from Kamke and Peter Gojowczyk.
In Sunday's reverse singles, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga is scheduled on court first against Kamke. Benneteau would follow against Gojowczyk.
Meanwhile, Andy Murray carried Great Britain to a 2-1 lead over Italy in their Davis Cup quarterfinal tie.
After finishing off Andreas Seppi, 6-4, 7-5, 6-3, Saturday morning, Murray returned later in the day to partner with Colin Fleming for a 6-3, 6-2, 3-6, 7-5 victory against Simone Bolelli and Fabio Fognini.
Fognini got the hosts on the board Friday by beating Brit James Ward 6-4, 2-6, 6-4, 6-1 on the red clay at Tennis Club Napoli.
In Sunday's reverse singles, Fognini is scheduled on court first against Murray. Seppi would follow against Ward.
The winner will take on the winner of the Switzerland-Kazakhstan showdown in September.
Kazakhstan took a 2-1 lead after Andrey Golubev and Aleksandr Nedovyesov stunned Roger Federer and Stanislas Wawrinka, 6-4, 7-6 (7-5), 4-6, 7-6 (8-6), in the doubles.
Golubev started Friday's opening singles rubbers with a 7-6 (7-5), 6-2, 3-6, 7-6 (7-5) victory over Wawrinka but Federer defeated Mikhail Kukushkin in the Day 1 nightcap to even the best-of-five at 1-1.
In Sunday's reverse singles, Wawrinka is scheduled on court first against Kukushkin. Federer would follow against Golubev.
On the WTA Tour, Andrea Petkovic defeated Eugenie Bouchard, 1-,6 6-3, 7-5, to advance to the final of the Family Circle Cup.
Petkovic will go for her third and biggest WTA title against Jana Cepelova, who defeated Swiss qualifier Belinda Bencic, 6-4, 5-7, 7-6 (7).

Second Lifers file suit over virtual land
Lawsuit seeks compensation for consumers who were 'duped into buying virtual land and items under the false promise of ownership.'
This post comes from Jon Hood at partner site ConsumerAffairs.com.
A group of gamers has filed a class-action lawsuit against the creator of Second Life, accusing the company of taking away the plaintiffs' ownership rights to virtual "land" without just compensation.
The suit, filed in federal court in Pennsylvania, says Linden Labs repeatedly told potential Second Life players that the game would allow them to hold an indefinite ownership interest in virtual property. The suit quotes Linden chief executive Philip Rosedale as stating: "What you have in Second Life is real and it's yours. It doesn't belong to us. We have no claim to it."
According to the complaint, Linden tried to distinguish Second Life, which struggled at its inception, from other so-called "multiplayer role-playing games" by giving users an ownership stake in the property they bought.
According to the complaint, "Linden made a calculated business decision to depart from the industry standard of denying that participants had any rights to virtual items, land and/or goods" by representing to users that "their ownership rights and intellectual property rights to the virtual items, land and goods held in the participants' accounts would be preserved and recognized." Under this system, if a gamer bought a house, he actually owned the property and could keep or resell it as he saw fit. The same rules applied to intellectual property; gamers could even secure copyrights for certain items.
CEO pushed property rights
The complaint is full of quotes from Rosedale, who is painted as a key proponent of the decision to give property rights to users. The plaintiffs quote Rosedale as saying that "the preservation of users' property rights is a necessary step toward the emergence of genuinely real online worlds" and that the company "made it extremely clear that we were not the owner of the virtual property."
Linden's strategy paid off -- for the company, at least. The complaint says that "by mid-2004, Linden's and Rosedale's representations had caused significant dollars to not only be invested in Second Life, through the purchase of virtual land, but also a significant revenue stream generated from the taxation of that virtual land." The company was doing so well that, in September 2005, it did away with subscription fees, instead requiring new users to pay a one-time flat fee.
At some point, however, Linden "began to unilaterally attempt to remove the ownership rights that had previously been conveyed," according to the suit. Most notably, the company began quietly changing language on its website; for example, a question on the FAQ page that had read "Why would I want to own land?" turned into "Why would I want to have land?"
The plaintiffs were never notified of the apparent change in policy, the suit says, and are demanding compensation for the "hundreds of thousands of consumers that were duped into buying virtual land and items under the false promise of ownership." The complaint estimates that Linden has made between $50 million and $100 million for land sold in Second Life, and that further untold amounts have been paid for other "virtual items."
Second Life is unique in that users spend actual money on their virtual property. Actual money is converted into "Linden dollars," which can then be deposited into virtual accounts and spent on property. The system has produced some interesting results: In 2006, a real-life language teacher became a Second Life real estate agent and made more than $1 million.
The suit is being brought on behalf of any Second Life participants who bought, sold or owned land or other property between Nov. 14, 2003, and the date that the class is certified. A second group of plaintiffs consists of anyone whose assets "have been deliberately and intentionally converted, taken, 'frozen,' or otherwise rendered unusable" by Linden.

(i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens;only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)
nobody,not even the rain, has such small hands
.....in this world, you'll come across many people who will oppose you, and try to grind you down. Do not let them upset you or shake your confidence even a tiny bit. You must learn to derive your confidence and strength from their opposition. Paradoxical as it may sound to you, but that's the reality. Their obstacles will make you passionate, far more than ever before. Your critics will make you wise, foes will make you smart, and haters will keep you alert at all times. The key is to transform their negativity into positivity for yourself. Good luck!
.....the personal commitment to Integrity means: Speaking the honest truth at all times, even though it might hurt the listener, and create conflicts for you personally. It also means never to settle for anything less than what you deserve in your relationships with others. Living with Integrity is not easy, because she demands your total commitment to your personal values that must be higher than ordinary. She also expects you to make choices based on what you believe, and not what others tell you to believe. All being said, living with Integrity even for a day is million times better than countless years of life without her. A life with Integrity is the only life well lived, in my view. So go ahead, take that bold step, and live the life with Integrity.
.....you may call it Karma, Kismet or Serendipity or whatever you like, it's a "given" that what you sow is what you get (WYSIWYG). Everything returns, so be good to people. It's the best gift you can offer to yourself and the world, no matter what happens.
....a brilliant tip for self-improvement: spend less time talking about yourself, and more time listening to what others have to say about you.
....Faith is that tiny and beautiful songbird in one's heart that sings wonderful melodies even in the darkest moments, because it can feel and see the divine light that is yet to arrive with dawn. Faith enables us to believe in something that may be beyond any rationale, reasoning and logic. And Faith also our inner strength that empowers us to bring our dreams and vision to fruition, with the Grace of God. Take the leap in the unknown with full Faith in God and yourself.
...And I've looked over, and I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land. So I'm happy tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man.
...One of the strongest motives that lead men to art and science is escape from everyday life with its painful crudity and hopeless dreariness, from the fetters of one's own ever-shifting desires. A finely tempered nature longs to escape from the personal life into the world of objective perception and thought.
...tests are a gift. And great tests are a great gift. To fail the test is a misfortune. But to refuse the test is to refuse the gift, and something worse, more irrevocable, than misfortune.
90 percent of the people in the stock market, professionals and amateurs alike, simply haven't done enough homework.
A "Bandwagon Effect" is a most common phenomenon wherein the rate of uptake of any beliefs and misbeliefs increases the more that those have already been adopted by others in the society. Shallow people will get carried away by what others do, and will always hop on the bandwagon. You mustn't get swayed by what others do or tell you to do, and mustn't jump on the bandwagon. You must stand with your own values, confidently, and without fluttering, even though you have to stand alone - because you are the Gold, and the Gold must maintain her Color, Character and Charisma that set the highest standards for others.
A "Beauty" is neither in the alluring attractive face nor in the glamorous gorgeous body. It is the Divine Light in the Heart that illuminates and makes our world Beautiful.
A "Comfort Zone" represents status quo, in my honest view, like the stagnant dark water in a pond that often seems so difficult to come out of. Yet you have to step outside your comfort zone, and cross the boundaries to better yourself, and be the best. Only by stepping outside the realm of your comfort zone, you will be able to explore new oceans, and offer your best, something far more superior and beatiful than ever before, to illuminate the world.....like the amazing brilliance and beautiful brightness of a supernova, or a shooting star or even a meteor as they leave their comfort zone and enter into new territories. Strive to re-invent and renew yourself at every stage in life, just like Madonna has done for years, and you will discover your new strengths, awesome powers and asounding beauty that were never there before. Dare to step outside your comfort zone, because that's exactly where the real life begins. Get a Life, my friend.
A "Win-Win" Situation is the one where we give cheerfully to the Society as much as we can, and also accept gracefully whatsoever the Society offers to us. Interestingly, the givers gets richer by giving, and they also see their names carved on hearts and minds (rather than only on tombstones) in such win-win situations. Remember: Doing nothing for others = Undoing of yourselves.
A Beautiful and Perfect Thing is neither Beautiful nor Perfect at its outset. Beauty & Perfection are attained with enormous Efforts & extraordinary Endurance over time. Only after withstanding tremondous pressure for countless years, a Coal can transform into a dazzling Diamond. Strive to be that Diamond, and Never Settle for Anything Less in Life.
A coalition of groups ... is waging a massive propaganda campaign against the president of the United States. ... an all-out attack. Their aim is total victory for themselves and total defeat for him. (On Watergate crisis)
A country is considered the more civilized the more the wisdom and efficiency of its laws hinder a weak man from becoming too weak or a powerful one too powerful.
A dying man needs to dye, as a sleepy man needs to sleep, and there comes a time when it is wrong, as well as useless to resist.
A few broken bones won't matter; you are not made of bones but of your will power, wisdom and willingness to keep fighting.
A fool's brain digests philosophy into folly, science into superstition, and art into pedantry. Hence University education.

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Courtby Mark Twain
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
When Connecticut mechanic and foreman Hank Morgan is knocked unconscious, he wakes not to the familiar scenes of nineteenth-century America but to the bewildering sights and sounds of sixth-century Camelot. Although confused at first and quickly imprisoned, he soon realises that his knowledge of the future can transform his fate. Correctly predicting a solar eclipse from inside his prison cell, Morgan terrifies the people of England into releasing him and swiftly establishes himself as the most powerful magician in the land, stronger than Merlin and greatly admired by Arthur himself. But the Connecticut Yankee wishes for more than simply a place at the Round Table. Soon, he begins a far greater struggle: to bring American democratic ideals to Old England. Complex and fascinating, A Connecticut Yankee is a darkly comic consideration of the nature of human nature and society.
A blow to the head transports a Yankee to 528 A.D. where he proceeds to modernize King Arthur's kingdom by organizing a school system, constructing telephone lines, and inventing the printing press.
Hank Morgan, a nineteenth-century American who is accidentally returned to sixth-century England, is a powerful analysis of such issues as monarchy versus democracy and free will versus determinism, but it is also one of Twain's finest comic novels, still fresh and funny after more than 100 years.
About the Author
Mark Twain was born Samuel Langhorne Clemens in Florida, Missouri, in 1835, and died at Redding, Connecticut in 1910. In his person and in his pursuits he was a man of extraordinary contrasts. Although he left school at twelve when his father died, he was eventually awarded honorary degrees from Yale University, the University of Missouri, and Oxford University. His career encompassed such varied occupations as printer, Mississippi riverboat pilot, journalist, travel writer, and publisher. He made fortunes from his writing but toward the end of his life he had to resort to lecture tours to pay his debts. He was hot-tempered, profane, and sentimental — and also pessimistic, cynical, and tortured by self-doubt. His nostalgia helped produce some of his best books. He lives in American letters as a great artist, the writer whom William Dean Howells called "the Lincoln of our literature."
Justin Kaplan is an editor, biographer, and author of Mr. Clemens and Mark Twain and Walt Whitman: A Life, among other books. He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters.

It was a bizarre homicide that rocked Michiana less than two weeks ago. Thursday night the community remembered.
It happened in South Bend, the man who pulled the trigger has called it drinking and Russian roulette. But In the end, 21-year-old Christopher White was shot to death.
A site near the South Bend crime scene was transformed into a prayer vigil this evening for Christopher White at the intersection of Dubail and Pulaski.
His friends said it's been such a difficult time for them they just couldn't talk on camera. And they didn't talk at the vigil either. But they did participate. They held each other as they read prayers with the group.
White was killed February 23rd. 22-year-old Jacob Saye is now under arrest for the murder. Saye told authorities he and White were playing beer pong at a home on Pulaski Street in South Bend. During the game Saye said he suggested the winner should be allowed to use a semi-automatic handgun in a game of Russian roulette against the other person. Investigators said Saye admitted to putting the gun to White's head and pulling the trigger.
The man who organized Thursday night's vigil, Michael Elliot, has organized several vigil's for homicide victims in South Bend. He said they are all tragedies and this one is especially unusual. "It's just kind of a unique circumstance as to how this occurred. It wasn't a gang shooting, it wasn't a robbery, or a domestic violence situation that got out of hand so it's equally as tragic," said Elliot.
Jacob Saye is set to go to trial for the murder in August.

Like it or not summer vacation is coming to an end and children will be going back-to-school in the upcoming weeks. Many parents welcome the school routine (I do!), but getting ready is no easy task. Planning ahead will make the transition easier for everyone. Here are some helpful back-to-school organizing tips.
Label It. After stocking up on school supplies, label all notebooks, backpacks, binders and lunch boxes. I've even go so far to label my kids shoes (but, hey that's me!). Using a label maker may be the easiest way to make labels but, colorful personalized labels like the ones above would be a big hit with the kids.
Plan Ahead. Streamlining the morning routine is essential to get kids out the door and to school on time. It's easy to get frazzled in the morning, so prepare lunches, book bags, outfits, even the breakfast table the night before. If you're still rushing, have everyone get up half an hour earlier (yes, I know, yikes!). Create a storage area near your most used door and assign each person a bin and/or hook for their gear. Using color coded bins (like the cute ones pictured above) or personalized storage tins will help keep the entryway organized and leaving the house less hectic.
Create a Homework Station. Few children enjoy doing homework, but creating an efficient work environment may make the task more fun. First determine where it's best to set up the homework station—near the kitchen where an adult can help? Alone in a quiet room? Is a computer needed? Once a location is selected, it's important to have an easy accessible storage bin or drawer with needed school supplies. Based on your child's age and school needs, store items such as writing implements, paper, tape/glue, scissors, ruler, erasers, crayons, and markers.
Centralize Communication. To ensure events and activities are not missed, it's best to have a family calendar. For families with older children using an online calendar (Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft have versions) is recommended. A traditional calendar hung for all to see is a great option for those with younger children. The colorful wall decal dry erase calendar (above) gets my vote!
Getting organized for back-to-school takes effort, but it can make the transition smoother. And that is good for everyone!
Happy organizing!

In the advent of the sudden wake of cyber-set chaos, and on behalf of the Guardian Force, it is my duty to inform you of our intent to halt this perversion. My fellow officers and I have already begun taking measures to maintain peace and stability for the people of Planet Zi, for it is in our every intention to ensure action against these criminals and bring them to justice. Our purpose speaks for itself: we will not tolerate the threat of such iniquity.

"Ed," a retired spammer, built a considerable fortune sending e-mails that promoted pills, porn, and casinos. At the peak of his power, Ed says he pulled in $10,000 to $15,000 a week, storing the money in $20 bills in stacks of boxes.
It was a life of greed and excess, one that preyed especially on vulnerable people hoping to score drugs or win money gambling on the Internet. From when he was expelled from high school at 17 until he quit his spam career at 22, Ed -- who does not reveal his full name but sometimes goes by SpammerX -- was part of an electronic underworld profiting from the Internet via spam.
"Yes, I know I'm going to hell," said Ed, who spoke in London on Wednesday at an event hosted by IronPort Systems, a security vendor now owned by Cisco Systems. "I'm actually a really nice guy. Trust me."
A quick-witted and affable guy who wears an earring and casual clothes, there was a time when Ed wasn't so nice. He sent spam to recovering gambling addicts enticing them to gambling Web sites. He used e-mail addresses of people known to have bought antianxiety medication or antidepressants and targeted them with pharmaceutical spam.
In short, Ed said he was "basically what people hate about the Internet."
He spent 10 hours a day, seven days a week studying how to send spam and avoid filtering technologies in security software designed to weed out garbage e-mail. Most spam filters are effective 99 percent of the time; he aimed for that remaining window, using tricks such as including slightly different images in his spam, which can fool filters into thinking the e-mail is legitimate.
"The better I got at spam, the more money I made," Ed said.
He would start a spam run by finding an online merchant who wanted to sell a product. Then he'd acquire a list of e-mail addresses -- another commodity that has spawned its own market in the world of spam. He'd also set up a domain name, included as a link in a spam message, that, if clicked, would redirect the recipient to the merchant's Web site, enabling Ed to get credit for the referral.
The spam would then be sent from a network of hacker-controlled computers, called botnets. Those machines are often consumer PCs infected with malicious software that a hacker can control. Ed would "rent" time on those computers from another group of hackers that specialized in creating botnets.
If one of the spam recipients bought something, Ed would get a percentage of the sale. For pharmaceuticals the commission was around 50 percent, he said.
Response rates to spam tend to be a fraction of 1 percent. But Ed said he once got a 30 percent response rate for a campaign. The product? A niche type of adult entertainment: photos of fully clothed women popping balloons.
To track the money, merchants set up a "referral sales page" where spammers can see how much they make from a spam run. Ed would log in frequently, watching the money increase. He was paid into electronic payment transfer accounts, such as e-gold or PayPal, or into his debit card account, which he could cash out in $20 bills.
That became problematic when the cash became voluminous. He says he made $480,000 his last year of spamming. But the lifestyle of being a spammer was taking a toll. In essence, he had no life.

One of my daisy shots.
I am fond of this little critter. I wonder what happened to him after his fifteen seconds of fame. :P
This is why I miss my hometown.
I love where I live now. All my friends are here, and it isn't far from home. It also has much more to do at night. But, the only time I see pretty flowers is when I walk past cement encircled plots. :/

Sweden's Nordqvist wins LPGA Kia Classic
Anna Nordqvist of Sweden raises the trophy after winning the LPGA KIA Classic, at the Park Hyatt Aviara Resort in Carlsbad, California, on March 30, 2014 - by Donald Miralle
Nordqvist, whose poor form in 2013 had her contemplating giving up the game, now goes into the first major of the year, the Kraft Nabisco Championship at Rancho Mirage, California, next week, brimming with confidence.
Her five-under effort on Sunday gave her a 13-under par total 275 at Aviara Golf Club, and a one-shot victory over American Lizette Salas.
"I'm still almost shaking right now that I'm standing here with another win," Nordqvist said.
In February, the Swede notched a two-shot wire-to-wire victory in the LPGA Thailand, holding off a dramatic late challenge from world number one Park In-Bee.
This time she had to battle back from a disappointing first-round 73. After a second-round 68 she carded back-to-back 67s on the weekend.
"It makes me believe a lot more in myself," said Nordqvist, whose only bogey of the day, at 17, came after six birdies. "I couldn't come into the first major of the year in a better position."
Salas started the day tied for the lead with American Cristie Kerr. Salas arrived at the 18th tee tied for second with American Lexi Thompson, but made her third birdie of the day at the final hole to complete a two-under 70 for 276 and sole possession of second place.
Thompson's 68 for 277 put her in third and South Korea's Chella Choi carded a 69 for 278 and fourth.
Nordqvist opened her round with a birdie, but Salas stayed atop the leaderboard with 12 straight pars, until Nordqvist birdied the eighth and ninth to move ahead.
Thompson moved into a share of second with Salas with three straight birdies from the 13th.
Thompson claimed the clubhouse lead on 11-under, but Nordqvist pulled away with three birdies in four holes from the 13th.
Despite Nordqvist's bogey at 17, Salas's three birdies at 14, 16 and 18 weren't enough to force a playoff.
Kerr bogeyed the last hole for a one-over 73 that left her alone in fifth on 279, while Park led a group on 280 that included fellow South Koreans Pak Se-Ri and Ji Eun-Hee, and American Stacy Lewis.

Wings & Horns Ace Hotel Bathrobe
• $150
Lately I've been finding that my bathrobe has been saving me from a big chill after the shower in the morning and evening, so I decided to do a little research into what might be the best choice now. My current robe is a W Hotel Robe from 10 years ago. It's been great. That said, it is threadbare and no longer available.
Like I said, I did some research. If I wanted to get something better right now, I'd get this one by Wings & Horns and the ACE Hotel. It's heavy, cotton, soft (with washing if nothing else) and grey, instead of white. I like that.

That's a seriously expensive bathrobe!
I have a waffle weave Aquis one that I got at Tuesday Morning. The waffle weave makes the poly feel acceptable, it is super absorbent after a shower and I feel as if I'm in a spa every day.
I used to love terry cloth robes but got tired of the heavyweight and long drying time.
Virginia - thanks for your recommendation and here's a link to yours: http://www.sierratradingpost.com/aquis-essentials-microfiber-waffle-robe-aquitex-for-women~p~1035c/
I hear you about the heavyweight and the drying time, but I like the weight in this cold weather as it insulates quicker and dries my skin quicker.
