If you fancy a change from the stock notification icons on your LG Optimus 2x, take a look at the Noticon theme by XDA forum member zarras.
This is the first try by the XDA member to build something useful for the community of the O2x and most of the work is placed in icons along the notification bar, pull down menu and some screens such as the USB alert screen.
There are 5 different versions of Noticon with different notification bars and toggle buttons and the theme also includes the Battery Percentage Mod by XDA member Malicious Ken.
Note that this will work on stock and Modaco's ROMs (Froyo 2.2) but not on CM ROMS (Gingerbread).
For more information including screenshots and to download the theme files, head on over to the theme thread.

Due to it being T-Mobile's latest flagship device, it comes as no surprise to learn that the powerful LG G2x and its world-travelling cousin, the Optimus 2x, have been given their first official builds of the most popular custom ROM on Earth: CyanogenMod.
Nightly builds popped up for both the P990 (Optimus 2x) and the P999 (G2x) earlier today. Although they are official releases from the CyanogenMod team, as opposed to ports by other developers, the fact that these are only 'nightlies' hints that they may not at the moment be completely stable or bug-free. Known problems include issues with video capture, audio and auto-brightness.
Nonetheless, if you've been dying to try out the Gingerbread-based CyanogenMod 7 for your shiny new LG, it's now a possibility. Download links can be found in this thread for the Optimus 2x and this thread for the G2x (make sure you pick the right one!).

As the battle of the dual cores rages on between our favorite (and not so favorite) manufacturers, and we are luckily stuck in the middle of this being showered with more and more options for our next purchases of mobile devices. The second phone to go live blessed with the technology of dual core processors (notice I said phones and not devices, as there are a few tabs with this in them already) comes from LG, who in coincidentally a late comer into the smartphone game. The LG Optimus 2X, also known as the T-Mobile G2x (thank you T-Mobile for the utterly confusing branding on this one) has finally been released by the US carrier. Neatly packed with features, and blazing fast performance, the G2x promises to be a good contender for the Atrix (minus the dock, that is) and the upcoming HTC Sensation, the latter being rumored to hit T-Mobile US as well upon its launch.
If you have gotten a chance to get your hands on one of these yet, please drop a few lines in the new forum that we created for it.
You can visit the T-Mobile G2x home on XDA here.

The exciting thing about this new year is the upcoming line up of next generation devices, all of which are equipped with the latest technology available, such as super AMOLED screens, dual core processors, and much more. However, technology without beauty is rather dull. With this in mind, XDA member GHOST99K brings us the LWP (live wallpapers) from the upcoming LG Optimus 2X ready to go on any Android device sporting 2.2 and later. These beautiful wallpapers will surely add something special to your collection. And if that wasn't enough, GHOST99K also provided ringtones and sounds to make your device more "you".
If you have any other "goodies" from this device that you would like to share with other members of the community, please let us know. Also, any feedback is greatly appreciated.

If you are itching to get your hands dirty with some of the best devices that were announced at CES this past month, then rest assured that we got you covered. We have added some playgrounds for beginning of discussions regarding cracking, hacking, or otherwise modding both Motorola devices and the latest LG. Simply put, these two seem to be among the top of the top of all the devices debuted at the expo. Much information about specs and such is currently available in blog sites throughout the web, so we will not bother you too much with technical details. What we will say though is the fact that at long last, we will be able to see good, powerful devices once again placing them on top of our dev charts, and this time, they are not made by HTC. It is a shame for HTC, but it looks like the competitors are finally beginning to catch up, which in turn is good for us as we will have more toys to play with.
If you already have some unknown information about any of these and would like to share it with the rest of the community, be sure to post in the corresponding forum.

"He would ask me questions about the NHL, but he had a goal to play over here, and he stuck to it," Thornton said. "He had seen (Swiss goalies) David Aebischer and Martin Gerber do it, and I think he wanted to play in the best league. I knew he could do it."
Brought together by the NHL lockout, the quiet Swiss goalie and his boisterous Canadian buddy formed a friendship while playing for HC Davos in the Swiss A-League. They've spent a month of every summer since then working out at the same rink in Switzerland, near where Thornton keeps an apartment for himself and his Swiss fiancee, Tabea Pfendsack.
They're together again in the first round of the NHL playoffs, and Hiller is again showing his ability to seize an opportunity.
After improbably taking Anaheim's starting job away from Jean-Sebastien Giguere, the Ducks' playoff MVP in 2003 and Stanley Cup-winning goalie four years later, Hiller posted a 2-0 win over the San Jose Sharks in his playoff debut Thursday, staking the eighth-seeded Ducks to an early first-round lead.
"It was always a dream, to play in the best league in the world," Hiller said Friday after the Ducks' jovial skate at the Shark Tank. "But it just seemed too far away before that year."
The NHL lockout cancelled the 2004-05 season, but it changed everything for Hiller. First, Davos traded away its veteran goalie to save money, handing the job to Hiller. He then got three new teammates: Thornton, Columbus star Rick Nash and Niklas Hagman.
Davos finished with the A-League's second-best record, and Hiller suddenly had every NHL scout's attention.
"That was the first time people were watching me and making me think I could play here," Hiller said. "That year was the first year I recognized it would even be possible to play over here. I was never drafted, and nobody from the NHL would talk to me before that year."
Although everybody soon became fast friends and teammates, Hiller remembers the odd feeling when Thornton, Nash or Hagman walked into Davos' dressing room for the first time.
"Until then, you'd just seen them on TV," Hiller said. "At first, you thought they were going to be probably a little arrogant, but they were great guys who fit perfectly in our dressing room."
Hiller, Thornton, Nash and the rest of that multinational team lived it up in Davos, a picturesque village of about 10,000 people in the Swiss Alps southeast of Zurich. Hiller recalls innumerable nights eating in Italian restaurants and hitting the ski-town party circuit, yet HC Davos still won the league championship.
"We spent the whole winter together," Thornton said. "He's a really smart kid. He kind of came out of nowhere, but he blossomed into a great goalie. He got our respect. I already knew he could be successful (in the NHL)."
The Ducks also knew it, showing their faith in him last season by waiving valuable veteran Ilya Bryzgalov just to clear a spot for Hiller as Giguere's backup. Hiller gradually slipped past the inconsistent Giguere in the second half of this season, starting 13 of the last 15 games while the Ducks squeezed into the last post-season berth.
Hiller has won his teammates' respect with consistency and resiliency. Still, Hiller didn't know he would start in the post-season until coach Randy Carlyle let him know at the team dinner on the night before Game 1 in San Jose.
"We've got a not-too-bad backup over there right now, so we're sitting pretty good on goaltending," said centre Ryan Getzlaf, who had a goal and an assist in the third period of Game 1. "We've got all kinds of confidence in Hillsy. There's no doubt he can take us as far as we can go."

Not for meA review of Men's Fitness Magazine, February 24, 2010Submitted by: MIKE H from st louis, mo
Maybe I'm just getting too old for this stuff, but maybe not. This magazine is geared toward the very young bachelor, which is fine for them, of course--not for me. Hey--you have to find your audience. At 50, many of the exercises are not helpful and the diet suggestions are ho-hum and kind of DUH. I don't want to be ripped anymore. By this time, I figure if I'm not, I won't be. And who the heck can exercise as suggested, work and play, too? Good for gym rats only.

The Tabloid of Fitness MagazinesA review of Men's Fitness Magazine, November 3, 2009Submitted by: Mike from Boston, MA
This magazine is entertaining to read, but lacks quality information. The products that are reviewed are bogus, and they always receive sparkling reviews. This is like the tabloid of fitness magazines. Mens Health has much more useful fitness information, and product reviews in it. I guess you get what you pay for.
That being said, Men's Fitness is entertaining to read. It's good material to read on an airplane or a waiting room.

This magazine had some good stuff in it. However there were too many advertisements for body building supplements. The articles on sex were horrible and disgusting.

As a stalwart subscriber to the series for two years, I can say -- with confidence -- that Men's Fitness has the most pleasing balance of excercise techniques, diet regimen, and fashion tips in the industry, considerably outstripping the likes of GQ and FHM. The Editor's Note in particular is a great way to begin each issue as well as psyche yourself into the next round at the gym.

Denial, the biggest river in Once.
Writers' Room: Okay, listen up. This whole "Swan Queen" thing has gotten out of hand. We really need to get back on track this season, show everyone without a doubt that Regina and Emma are mortal enemies. There is absolutely NO romantic feelings at all.
Writer 1: I know! Let's have Emma touch Regina every chance she gets!
Writer 2: Good one. We should definitely have Regina look at Emma in awe every time she saves her.
Writer 3: Absolutely. Which also means Emma should save Regina at least three or four times.
Writer 4: What if Regina's magic won't work without the goodness of Emma's magic touch?
Writers' Room: We got this covered!
Fandom: Y'all are closet Swan Queen fans.
Rumbelle fans: Even we see it now.

Louis Vuitton Accuses Rick Ross Of Wearing Knock-Offs
Sent by Michael D. Pantalony, Esq., the letter claimed the glasses' trademarks were "counterfeit," and caused "confusion" for readers and consumers. The attorney also clarified that Vuitton has no known association with the rapper or the publication. The entire letter can read [click here].
Ross has yet to comment on the claims.
Previously, rumors have swirled that Fabolous [click to read] has worn counterfeit Nike sneakers and Lil Wayne has been photographed in counterfeit Bathing Ape clothing. Neither claims were ever verified, and both refuted by rappers.
Jack "The Sunglass Pimp" Bernstein, owner of Jack's Eyewear in Los Angeles released a statement, contending that the shades Ross donned were merely customized with solid gold accents, and were in fact authentic.
"It's the same thing as buying a Rolls Royce and tricking out the entire interior, adding on a body kit, adding on the rims; after all that, you're not going to call the Rolls Royce counterfeit," Bernstein stated. "That's the same service we provide for our clients with authentic pieces. Just because the product has been customized by me does not take away from the fact that the frames are authentic Louis Vuitton Millionaires."

Picking out a mid- to high-end camera is a bit like picking a phone. Once you've made your decision and plunked down the large investment, you've got a lot of work ahead of you in order to make it your own. A good camera can be accessorized and tailored to your needs, and the Galaxy NX is no exception. While many people prefer a high end "dumb camera," yours truly is content with nothing less than Android Power.

Android devices support a lot of external devices. From Bluetooth speakers to external hard drives, there really isn't much you can't hook up to an Android device anymore. However, one thing that users may have trouble with is an external microphone.
XDA Elite Recognized Developers AdamOutler and Rebellos are at it again. This time with a hardware mod that will allow better external mic support on most Samsung Galaxy devices. This includes the Galaxy Note II and the Galaxy Camera. AdamOutler explains the mod in more detail:
Elite Recognized Developer Rebellos searched the code, and we figured out that the device wouldn't recognize my mic because its Ohms are too low. The WolfsonMicro chip uses any value below 1000 Ohms to signify button presses. Above 1000 Ohms, it signifies a microphone. My microphone is a 900 Ohm microphone, so in all actuality, it's pretty high considering most are around 100-500 Ohms. However, Rebellos and I managed to hack through it. I wanted to share this method.
The result is a hardware mod that allows the use of larger external microphones. There are a few things to note. As Adam stated, in order to be detected, the mic must offer 1000 Ohms of resistance. If it doesn't, then the device won't register it as a microphone, but rather, as a button press. Since most of us don't want to buy an entirely new microphone, a tempting solution is to create an adapter to enable the one you already have to work on the device.
According to Adam, you'll be building a, "Samsung 4-pole to 1/4″ Mic adapter with a 200 Ohm resistor inline." The process itself isn't overly difficult, and for frequent hardware modders, it should be a walk in the park. Since you're not soldering anything onto your device, you most likely aren't putting it in direct jeopardy. Just be careful not to burn yourself with that soldering iron.
If this looks like something worth trying, head over to the original thread.

It's hardly a secret that here on XDA, we really love it when developers accomplish the impossible. Throughout the forums, this takes the shape of custom kernels that push the boundaries of performance and clocks, apps that accomplish previously unheard of tasks, and—perhaps most importantly—ROM updates for the devices of yesteryear.
Enter the Samsung Galaxy 5—a phone that even upon release, was never destined to be considered a flagship device. And now that this device is approaching two years of age, it seems as if first party support is all but extinct. Thankfully, developers such as XDA forum member subpsyke, have worked hard to keep the Galaxy 5 running modern builds of the platform.
Today, thanks to the hard work of XDA forum member myshu, we have an early Ice Cream Sandwich-flavored build of CyanogenMod 9. While the ROM isn't quite ready to serve as your daily driver, it's an excellent step in the right direction.
This is a port of Cyanogen 9 (based on Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich) for the Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500 (Europa) phone. The current port status is unstable – NOT SUITABLE FOR DAILY USE.
Special Thanks to: psyke83, squadzone, dhalham, people that helped with hotfixes and rooting and ofcourse all of you for Testing
- Hardware Acceleration (Some Parts)
- Touchscreen
- WiFi
- Telephony
- Audio
- Sensors
- Bluetooth
- Market
- USB Mounting
- WiFi Hotspot
- Tethering
- JIT is Disabled (So, the ROM is slightly slow)
- Keyboard (Doesn't appear completely on the Screen)
If you're interested in giving this a shot on your own Galaxy 5, continue on to the ROM thread. Just be sure to create a nandroid backup before doing so, as you're going to need to revert in order to actually use your phone as a phone… or anything else, for that matter.

Using a hex editor to unlock a phone can be a very challenging task, especially if one does not have good knowledge of hex. More difficult still if it's something that needs to be done on the fly.
Well, if you happen to own a Samsung Galaxy 4g, then the difficulty level has just dropped to nearly nothing.
XDA Senior Member FBis251 has written out a script, run through an existing app in the Android Market, that will get you those unlock codes without dealing with the angst of hex editing. The only prerequisite is that you need a functional T-Mobile simcard for the time being, although he's working on a way to get it to users without one. It's a relatively simple procedure:
1) Download the script file, save it on the SD card
2) Download Script Manager from the market
3) Open Script Manager and run the script from the SD card
4) When the dialog comes up asking you to run the script, tap on SU (it will turn green) and tap Run
5) Your unlock code will be shown on the screen and will be saved as unlock_code.txt on your sd card
That's a very simple, free and non-headache inducing way of getting those unlock codes you've been looking for. If you want to check out the other features and some screenshot goodness, you can follow the link for the original thread.

I was thinking about the HTC Rezound today. I do that sometimes–sit down and let my thoughts wander. I thought about its three-way fight within Verizon against the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and Motorola Droid RAZR, and how it will fare this Christmas season. I also thought about TrevE's work on HTC's astounding Carrier IQ screw-up. And I came up with a target market based on privacy and security to whom no manufacturer has managed to sell phones yet: the hopeless-paranoid.
See, on one extreme, there's the non-paranoid. These people either think they have everything under control or don't care if they have control. They're the ones who buy crappy phones on contract. They have no interest in phones, it's just something they use and could easily afford at the moment.
At the opposite extreme, there's the empowered-paranoid. These are developers and other early adopters who use independent development. They constantly seek the best phones either because it shouldn't have the flaws of crappier phones, or because, if it does have problems, they can do something about it and not feel like they're wasting time developing for sub-par hardware.
If we imagine a square to give a two-dimensional range to my envisioned market, in another corner are the paranoid-curious. These people don't worry too much, but their brains pump out thoughts often enough that they can at least spare a few to consider the advice of developers and early adopters. That means worrying about privacy and security to some degree. They buy higher-end phones because the empowered-paranoid–who are, again, developers and early adopters–encourage it.
Then there's the hopeless-paranoid. These people have all the security and privacy concerns of developers, yet feel they have no way to correct it. Which phones do they buy? They don't. The only thing they know to do when they're worried about their privacy is to avoid the thing that makes them worry. They aren't worried about specific security issues–they don't actually know enough to worry like that. They're worried about everything. They say things like, "I don't want people to be able to call me no matter where I am." We've all heard lines like that, and we all know it's silly. If you don't want to talk to people at a certain time, turn off your phone. No, they're worried about more than being so accessible.
Now, you may be asking, is there actually any reason to be paranoid? I guess that depends. I reread some of the articles egzthunder1 wrote covering all TrevE's amazing work exposing the dirty little secrets of HTC and the carriers. And while he focuses on HTC phones, make no mistake that other manufacturers are doing the same.
Nevermind the security flaws that allow any app with Internet access to intercept the data that Carrier IQ, HTCLogger, etc. collect. HTC and the carriers collect enough data to know pretty much everything about your phone habits. Verizon changed their privacy policy to say that while you can opt out of letting them sell your information to other companies, they're still collecting and keeping that data. And Sprint… Sprint doesn't even let you opt out. They're giving away information about you to whomever they like. That could be companies. That could be law enforcement. You don't get to say who they give it to, you don't get to say what information they give, and you don't get to say that they cannot collect it.
So yes, I think paranoia is justified. And thank goodness for all the developers that work so hard to strip Carrier IQ and their ilk from ROMs. To a certain extent, thank goodness for the manufacturers and carriers that openly support development by not locking down devices. To the carriers and manufacturers who try to keep us from developing their devices, let me introduce you to the above four target markets. I suggest you change your minds. To HTC specifically, we see how developer-friendly you're trying to be, but we see your devotion to carriers like Verizon more. You need to decide that Peter Chou lied and bootloaders will not be unlocked, or you need to stand up for yourselves.
There is a point to all this. As I said, I was thinking about the HTC Rezound, announced last week. And since it's on Verizon, its bootloaders will probably be locked. That's a clear move to prevent development. So do something for me: pretend the bootloader can't be unlocked through exploits. We can't get S-Off, we can't get root, no custom bootloader, no custom kernels or custom ROMs. To put it simply, developers can't develop. All that paranoia and nothing can be done about it.
Which of those four groups of people does that sound like? That's right. The hopeless-paranoid. The people who don't buy phones. Except, in this case, they don't buy your phones. The only difference is, developers influence the buying habits of that large group of paranoid-curious people. The HTC Rezound? Great specs. Too bad the bootloader won't be unlocked. And doubly too-bad, HTC, that you made the Rezound exclusively for Verizon, the US carrier certain to get the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
Merry Christmas, HTC. Perhaps you'll remember us in your New Years resolutions.

Not too long ago, we brought you news that Samsung Galaxy 5 had received a CyanogenMod 7 port, effectively extending its life just a little further. Now, the closely related Galaxy 3 has received a MIUI port, care of some crafty work by XDA forum member jazux and the rest of the GreenMods team. While the device is marginally faster and more capable than the aforementioned Galaxy 5, it's still quite a long way from being a high-end device.
Most of the device functions and OS highlights are operational, though the lockscreen and MIUI launcher are currently no-shows. In the words of the developers:
MIUI – Redefining android, on SG3
ok so if you already didnt know GreenMods are porting MIUI ROM to SG3! it will be based on android 2.3 and it will simply be awesome!!!
heres a list of what is done and who is porting/helping
-Theme is almost done [pauri]
-some apps [jazux]

This is clever, fun, on-point and interactive in the right sense of the word.
#theVELUXpose is an interactive installation for VELUX set in the streets of Copenhagen.
VELUX specializes in roof windows and our brief was to inspire young urban citizens to see the roof as an opportunity space and something to aspire to.
Our goal was to connect the digital generation and VELUX.
As a symbol, we used the posture people have when looking through these roof windows, which is looking up at an angle of 125º. We brought this experience from the roof, down down to the streets and used Instagram as a way to get people excited and involved.
We put an iPhone in a box with a frame that has VELUX written on it so that it would come up as the border in the image.
We hacked together a really long handsfree kit cable so that we could trigger the camera from far. The image gets synced with an iPad for participants to upload their image to Instagram with their own filter.

What do we do now? All we hear about is bipartisanship, which is a fine idea, but to what end? Bipartisanship for the sake of being bipartisan? For over 100 years, we have been compromising with liberals - they want a $50M program, we "compromise" on a $25M program - still a step in the wrong direction. All this compromising has led us to being Greece. Now that the tea party has figured out that we need to start "compromising" in the other direction, we have a president who is totally against compromise of any kind. So, yes, I agree with Mr. Barone. The Two Americas can't talk to each other now. So, what do we do?

Advisors' Opinion:
- [By Louis Navellier]
You might say that China Green Agriculture (CGA) is the salt of the earth when it comes to China stocks. Well, maybe not salt in the literal sense, just more in the metaphoric sense.
Literally, China Green Agriculture is a maker of fertilizer. The company's humic acid organic liquid compound fertilizers help enrich the soil needed to grow the food that sustains China's ginormous population. The company produces approximately 119 fertilizer products, and it markets those products to private wholesalers and retailers of agricultural farm products.
And talk about strong price momentum — CGA shares are up 360% over the past 12 months!
I rate CGA an A, making it a strong buy.

Karen Ostrom is a participant in EFA's 2013 Residency for Arts Workers as Artists. In addition to her art practice, Karen is the Assistant Registrar of Collections at the International Center for Photography
We have already told you about the residents' professional lives here, so we decided to get a little more personal. To learn a little more about them in and outside of the studio we have asked our residents to respond to questions. Here are Karen's answers...
PS: What are you working on now?
KO: I'm making collages as a kind of sketching exercise. I'm also making short videos that reflect as a personal documentary of some of my travels, both locally and internationally. These are not unlike the collages in that they are loosely placed together. So in that way they also act as a kind of exercise or a way of broadening my work and thinking outside the control and slowness of the animation projects.
PS: What is your experience so far?
KO: I've been noticing the benefits of mixing up my regular routine and how it can have a positive effect on my working habits and attitude towards what I am working on. I likely wouldn't be working on collages or making these videos even though I want to, I just keep putting it on the backburner. So it's allowing me be able focus my attention there and not feel like I should be working on something larger. It's helping me pay attention to some of the important smaller projects that help inform the larger ones.
PS: Tips on staying focused?
KO: Lots of quality sleep and exercise; I swim. Daily meditation practice is essential.
PS: Preferred mode of transportation?
KO: Airplane.
PS: What are your creative inspirations?
KO: Anything that suspends me from the awareness of my surroundings. Travel, dreams, unusual or surreal narratives, anything that implies a linear line but in itself may not be linear.
PS: If you could collaborate with anyone, who would it be?
KO: Richard Serra – I think he would absolutely hate my work and it would be interesting to see how he would handle the situation. I think I could learn a lot if he were cooperative.
PS: If you could have personally witnessed any event in history, what would you want to have seen?
KO: Time in Pompeii long enough to get a sense of the city before it was buried in lava and to set up narratives like the famous Dog of Pompeii to be speculated upon centuries later. And then to witness the eruption of Mount Vesuvius (from a distance of course).
PS: What was your first thought when you woke up this morning?
KO: I don't know what day it is. (but no panic)

Under different circumstances, the Jazz might be able to chalk up tonight's game with Oklahoma City as an easy win.
Not this time, though.
In their quest to earn the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference playoff bracket, the Thunder (56-21) can't afford to let up. With just five games left on their regular-season schedule, they trail San Antonio by a game in the standings.
So, don't look for OKC coach Scott Brooks to rest stars Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook or Serge Ibaka tonight when they meet the Jazz (41-37).
And don't look for Utah to let up either.
With just four regular-season games left, they currently sit in the No. 8 spot in the West bracket, holding only a slight edge over the Los Angeles Lakers.
Tonight's game means a lot to both teams, which isn't always the case in April.
"They're fighting for their playoff lives, just like we're all fighting for playoff position," Brooks said. "It's a great time of the year, a great time of the year to play important games in April."
OKC is led by Durant, whose 28.4 scoring average equals New York's Carmelo Anthony as the best in the NBA.
Tonight's game with be the fourth regular-season meeting between the Jazz and Thunder. OKC leads the series 2-1, with the Jazz's only win coming Feb. 12 in Salt Lake City.
In three games vs. the Jazz this season, Durant has averaged 27 points and 6.7 rebounds.
Winners of seven of their last eight games, the Jazz are 29-10 at home this season. They are led in scoring by center Al Jefferson, who averages 17.5 points and 9.1 rebounds per game.
In three games vs. OKC this season, Jefferson has averaged 15.7 points and 8.3 rebounds.
"To have home court advantage throughout the playoffs, I guess, is always a good advantage for any team," Jefferson said. "So, I'm pretty sure if (the Thunder) have a chance to get it, they're going to get it."

"We Will Always Love You" will include highlights of nearly all of Houston's GRAMMY telecast performances, her classic performance of the national anthem at Super Bowl XXV in 1991, and her first-ever television appearance on "The Merv Griffin Show" in the early '80s, among other iconic performances and exclusive interviews. The special will also feature other artists sharing their memories of Houston, as well as additional highlights of her career.
The first-ever definitive single disc collection of Houston's greatest hits, I Will Always Love You — The Best Of Whitney Houston, was released Tuesday, Nov. 13, and features 18 tracks, including two never-before-released songs. Additionally, an official Houston photo tribute book, Whitney: Tribute To An Icon, will be available for sale on Nov. 27.

While many of us believe we have it all figured out when it comes to attracting people, there are times when we are oblivious when we are doing the exact opposite. Whether it is piling on too much cologne or makeup, or dressing too provocatively, sometimes you need people to be honest and ask you, "Are you sure that is sexy?"
Do you ever want to tell someone to stop doing something they think is sexy but is actually not sexy at all?
What do you think is supposed to be sexy but it comes off as desperate, trying too hard, or unintentional comedy on the dating scene?

Kane County Coroner Charles West died early today, just after midnight, from complications following liver transplant surgery, according to his family.
West had been awaiting trial on felony misconduct charges. He had been accused of allowing two of his deputies, one of them his son, to take a television set from the home of a man whose death was being investigated by West's office.
West, however, had not appeared at any of his pretrial hearings in months.
He took medical leave from the coroner's office in April and had been at the University of Illinois Hospital in Chicago since having the liver transplant on June 4, said his sister-in-law Adrienne Kalmes.
West had been suffering from cirrhosis that was not related to alcohol use, his attorney, Gary Johnson, said in June.
The charges against West stemmed from an investigation into the death of a Carpentersville man in 2007.
Authorities had alleged that when West was unable to locate any next of kin for the man, he gave the TV to his son and another deputy, who were living together.
Authorities alleged that violated state law, which directs coroners in such situations to properly dispose of valuable property.

Divine Carama releases a very special Nas dedicated free LP called "It Was Rewritten". Artists such as Thee Tom Hardy, Vito Banga of Nappy Roots, 88 Key's signed Nemo Achida, legendary battle MC Canibus, & underground hip hop group CunningLynguists all helped out on the project. The project was also produced by 2 Mello.
The first video off of the project, directed by 2 Mello, is for his song "Suspect". In the song he talks about how the school system is unjust, how many historical aspects are overlooked and how corrupt and back-thinking our country truly is. Very honest video.
According to Carama:
We really wanted to go for an early-mid 90′s feels on this one. The mixtape was inspired by a mid 90′s LP so we felt it was only right to have that essence.. Also, so much of just one type of theme is going on right now in hip hop.. Everything is big, expensive, negative, degrading, numb…… We just wanted to throw something out there that the opposite to a lot that's going on right now. Do our part in balancing things out.

Medical Education
Doctoral thesis in Clinical Psychology: THE DOCTOR-PATIENT RELATIONSHIP: A PSYCHOLOGICAL CONTRIBUTION TO MEDICAL EDUCATION.
Advisor: Professor Denise Ramos
Keywords: doctor-patient relationship, medical education, analytical psychology.
Abstract: Medicine has centered on the biomedical model, with sure results and scientific achievements of vital importance. The model is used in medical schools, giving priority to objective language and the functions of thought and sensation. Still, advances in fields related to neuroscience, neuroimmunology and psychosomatic research confirm increasingly the important effects of the psyche on health and illness. The scientific theories and authors covered in this study show that attention given to subjective language and non-verbal behavior, besides being beneficial in the patient's welcome and adhesion, is considered a clinical instrument. The usage of this instrument helps detect and respond to processes little perceived by logical conscience, engendering sickness or well-being. This study aims to evaluate a method of psychological work in groups, that enhances non-verbal communication and valuation functions of conscience, that is, the feeling function, encouraging medical students' and residents' learning of attitudes that enable them to better deal with themselves and with the patient relationship. Researched attitudes concern interpersonal communication, professional role and relationship with the patient that are liable to influencing the clinical conduct of the doctor in diagnosis and treatment. In this presentation, following a bibliographic review of concepts that were essential in drawing up the work, the procedure indicates the manner in which group meetings with 3rd year medical students and residents were conducted. Also presented are the questionnaires that were given, with their respective evaluations. Upon discussion of the data, it was concluded that, despite the existence of strong psychological defense mechanisms, partially developed in the course of medical studies, there were signs of changes in attitudes in the mentioned areas, underscoring the importance of giving continuity to such psychological methods in medical education.

The owner of the Woods Hole Market was threatened with arrest following an outburst during a heated discussion about parking in front of his Water Street grocery store.
Owner Branch (Jeff) Parrish was before the Falmouth Traffic Advisory Committee Monday morning, June 16, to request additional temporary parking in front of the market, as recent road work on Water Street and stricter parking law enforcement in the last year shrunk his already limited parking.
When the committee did not agree to what Mr. Parrish requested, tensions escalated and Mr. Parrish was asked to leave the meeting after he ignored several requests from co-chairman Officer James Porter to quiet down, swore at the police officer, told Barbara S. Pratt, the co-chairman of the committee, that she had "an attitude problem," and said he was the target of some town officials' malevolent agenda.
Mr. Parrish's request has been backed by members of the community, including Albert E. Fitzelle, Penzance Road, Woods Hole, who read a letter on behalf of the Woods Hole Community Association; abutting business owners Carol A. Grigas, owner of the Phusion Grille, Judith Laster, director of the Woods Hole Film Festival; Nan Garrett-Logan of Woods Hole Road; and other Woods Hole villagers and business owners.
At the end of the meeting, the committee decided to advise the Board of Selectmen to allot two parking spots that do not abut the market for two hours a day of additional, temporary parking for the market. They urged Mr. Parrish and the other residents to approach selectmen and Falmouth Chief of Police Edward A. Dunne about the situation.
Mr. Parrish said that because of a lack of parking, his store is in jeopardy. He requested that a loading zone that stretches from the Phusion Grille to the end of his market on Water Street be shortened so customers can get to his store.
He said that for the last 75 years plus, a market has served the community in the same location with adequate parking.
Officer Porter said that the committee did not have the authority to modify a loading zone. When Mr. Parrish asked if they would recommend to selectmen that the loading zone be modified, Officer Porter said that he would have to hear from the restaurant owners on Water Street before making the suggestion, including the owner of the Captain Kidd.
"I'm getting nowhere here," Mr. Parrish said. He then remarked upon Ms. Pratt's attitude. Ms. Pratt responded that she has been frustrated because she felt the committee had been responsive to the needs of the business community.
"You're frustrated?" Mr. Parrish said. "How do you think I feel?" He then stood up and approached the board and continued to raise his voice. He then left, and returned about a minute later and said that the committee "was sealing the fate of the market."
Officer Porter said that if he returned again, he would arrest him for disorderly conduct.
Mr. Fitzelle read a letter on behalf of the Village Association, signed by co-president Stephan Junker, that urged the committee to make a 15-minute parking spot directly in front of the store. Mr. Fitzelle also said that every village in Falmouth has a corner market with adequate parking such as Kenyon's Market in Waquoit, or Family Foods in East Falmouth, and the West Falmouth Market.
Mr. Fitzelle also apologized for Mr. Parrish's behavior.
Ms. Garrett-Logan said that parking in front of the store had been adequate up until last summer. A new parking enforcement officer from the police department started ticketing cars parked temporarily in the loading zone.
She said that the market is a store for year-round residents and has been able to function with adequate parking since the 1960s.
Ms. Laster asked the board if Chief of Police Edward A. Dunne could cease enforcing the loading zone as strictly as the policeman did last summer.
Officer Porter said that he knew what the chief would say to that request but urged those attending to voice their opinions straight to the chief.
At the end of the hearing, the committee decided to recommend that 15-minute parking from 4 to 6 PM be allowed in a parking spot across the street and to the east of the market that is currently reserved for a police officer whose shift ends at 4 PM. Members of the committee also decided to research a second spot that belongs to the Woods Hole bridge tender. That spot is currently reserved for taxis when the bridge tender is not working.
Prior to the hearing, Mr. Parrish circulated a petition with 476 signatures. "We, the undersigned, support the Woods Hole Market in regaining parking spaces in front of 87 Water Street, as it has been for the last 75 plus years," the opening line reads.

Kean University to Hold Graduate Commencement Ceremony at NJPAC
UNION, N.J. - The Kean University Nathan Weiss College of Graduate Studies will hold its Commencement ceremonies on Wednesday, May 7, at 7 p.m. at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC), located at One Center Street in Newark, N.J. More than 650 graduate students are expected to receive their degrees.
This will be the first year that Kean will hold a separate ceremony for those earning graduate degrees. "Highlighting this level of study as a unique entity of the University certainly showcases Kean's growth in higher education across so many disciplines," said Dr. Kristie Reilly, associate dean of the Nathan Weiss College of Graduate Studies and associate professor of neuroscience in the graduate biotechnology program.
The ceremony will be held off campus and during the evening, as the University was faced with the challenge of combining the incredible growth in graduate programs with the reality that many students work during the day. "Holding the graduate college Commencement during the evening at the state-of-the-art facilities at NJPAC is a perfect match," Reilly said. "We can now acknowledge the achievement of our students at a more convenient time with respect to their schedules, while taking advantage of the spacious surroundings at NJPAC, which offers a more elaborate and larger celebration for family and friends."
The featured Commencement speaker will be Linda Dennery,
who has served as president and publisher of the Newark-based The Star-Ledger,
New Jerseys largest newspaper, since 1999. Dennery has served the
newspaper-publishing industry by sitting on the Board and Foundation Board
of the Southern Newspaper Publishers Association. She also currently sits
on the boards of the North American Council for Accreditation for Children
and Family Services, the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra and the Liberty
Science Center. She was granted an honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters
(L.H.D.) from Kean in 2001.

James Andriote Sr. Montville
Publication: The Day
Recently two elected officials in Montville resigned and the Democratic Town Committee replaced them without public consent.
Newly appointed Town Council member and former Mayor Joseph Jaskiewicz is currently being sued by a longtime town employee for Jaskiewicz alleged verbal and abusive behavior that she claims caused her to leave her job. The other appointment of Joseph Socha, who the Democrats appointed to the Board of Assessment Appeals, was the subject of a wrongful death lawsuit, for which a jury recently found him liable.
Based on the seriousness of these two cases and with respect to the voters who chose Councilman Gary Murphy and Board of Assessment Appeal member John Geary, the Montville Democratic Town Committee should have exhibited better judgment when selecting replacements for these individuals.

A. Northern Plateau Area of Southern Oregon
The geology, altitude, and climate of the northern plateau area of southern Oregon forced specialized ecological adjustments on the part of the early aboriginal inhabitants. The physical feature most responsible for the specialization necessary for survival was the Cascade Mountain Range, a rugged continuance of the Sierra Nevadas north through California, Oregon, Washington, and sections of British Columbia. This chain originated perhaps forty million years ago from a weak north-south-trending seam in the earth's crust. Through this fissure molten magma was ejected from the interior up through the inland sea that covered the region. After successive eons, this volcanic uplifting created a ponderous mountain chain rearing to an impressive height. During the next few million years, the creation of this mountain mass was followed by the formation of a series of huge, broad, shield volcanoes. These were ultimately replaced by the now familiar steep-sided volcanic cones stretching southward from Mount Garibaldi near Vancouver, British Columbia, and including Mounts Baker, Rainier, Adams, and St. Helens in Washington; Mounts Hood, Jefferson, Three Sisters, Mazama, and McLoughlin in Oregon; and California's Mount Shasta and Lassen Peak.
The most significant effect of the Cascade Range and of its numerous high peaks was the creation of two distinct climatic zones in the present state of Oregon in which vegetation and animal life began taking on the singular characteristics unique to each one's particular environment. As the Cascades deflected the moisture-laden winds rushing inland, lowering their temperatures and causing them to deposit their condensation on the lands adjacent to the ocean, it resulted in a lack of moisture in that sunny dry area immediately east of the mountains that is commonly referred to as a "rain shadow." Of more consequence environmentally was the lack of rain in the very dry area of vast plains and desert flora on Oregon's eastern plateau.
B. Prehistoric Indian Occupation of the Crater Lake Vicinity
Man's initial entry into the now arid basins stretching from south-central Oregon to southeast California began about 10,000 years ago, after the end of the volcanic activity characterizing the last Ice Age (Pleistocene glacial epoch), when, although deep snowfields and glaciers blanketed the lands northward toward Canada, here in the Plateau area a more benign climate, inland lakes, and dense forests offered a relatively comfortable existence for groups of nomadic hunters. Natural shelters at the bases of high cliffs and small caves found today high above present water levels have yielded evidence of human occupation in the form of stone and bone tools and weapons and grinding stones dating from at least 13,000 years ago. [1] The first inhabitants of the Klamath-Tule Lake basins, arriving between 7,500 and 10,000 years ago, showed a more specialized lifestyle and culture; the greatest mass of evidence of human presence in this area dates from this time period. Abundant springs provided water, and cultural remains indicate a simple hunting and seed- and root-gathering existence.
The eruption of Mount Mazama 6,600 years ago probably only hastened an abandonment of the cliffs that had already begun with the advent of warmer temperatures in 11,000 B.C. The eruption was undoubtedly witnessed by humans, a never-to-be-forgotten occurrence immortalized by detailed and descriptive legends. That man was nearby at the time is attested to by archeological investigations at Fort Rock Cave about fifty-five miles northeast of Mount Mazama in 1938 that uncovered one hundred woven-sagebrush sandals covered, baked, and charred by the mud flow and ashes from Mazama's eruption. [2] For miles around plants would have been buried and burned and lakes and marshes clogged, suffocating the fish population and depriving upland game birds and waterfowl of sanctuary.
With living conditions so difficult, human activity here probably ended for several centuries. The climate continued to change; annual rainfall lessened, evaporation from lake surfaces increased, and water levels consequently began to recede. Plant life thrived, however, and grass became more prevalent, indicating an ecological environment somewhere between the moist, cool forest and the drier desert extreme. As the grassland spread and lakes and marshes dwindled to only scattered springs and seeps, making dependable water sources scarce, the ancestors of the historic Klamath and Modoc peoples, who drifted back into southern Oregon and northern California focused on the lakes, streams, and marshes for their homesites. To replace the earlier cave dwellings, small permanent winter hamlets were constructed on high ground near the water. As the climate and the land continued to change, lifestyles of necessity became more diversified and ultimately specialized. The large numbers of fishhooks and manos, metates, and mortars for pounding, grinding, and milling seeds and roots found by archeologists confirm a growing dependency on the water and plant foods for nourishment. Increased population shifts, facilitated by a friendlier climate, inevitably resulted in an exchange of techniques relative to both technological processes and food acquisition. By 4,500 years ago, environmental conditions were fairly stable and the customs and living patterns developed that were present when whites arrived.
C. Historic Indian Occupation of the Crater Lake Vicinity
South-central Oregon was occupied primarily by divisions of at least two linguistic families. The Klamath and Modoc tribes constituted the Lutuamian division of the Shapwailutan linguistic group. The Klamaths were found on Upper Klamath Lake, around Klamath Marsh, and also frequented the Williamson and Sprague river shores, while the Modocs were based at Little Klamath Lake, Modoc Lake, Tule Lake, in the Lost River Valley, and at Clear Lake, although they often extended as far east as Goose Lake. [3] The peoples of the Northern Plateau were wanderers, leading a somewhat impoverished lifestyle. Hunting and fishing were continual pursuits, but secondary to gathering. The quasi-nomadic tendencies of these groups resulted in a lack of cultural complexity, so that they have been studied mainly in terms of their relationship to their natural surroundings. [4]
The ancestors of the modern Klamath Indians who ultimately inhabited the area east of Crater Lake and south along the shores of Klamath Lake were probably contemporaries of the early Fort Rock inhabitants. The Klamaths had originally relied mainly on hunting, but the presence nearby of bodies of water teeming with fish, fowl, and plant life encouraged advances in tool technology and food preparation techniques that enabled them to become more diversified wild food gatherers. Ultimately the Klamaths became dependent for their sustenance primarily upon the marshes and the chain of lakes forming the headwaters of the Klamath River. They settled in semi-subterranean earth lodges in small hamlets on the lake shores in the winter months, but during the summer pursued a more migratory course, utilizing mat-covered lodges for shelter and participating in root-, seed-, and berry-gathering activities, fishing, and the hunting of small game.
The environment had much to offer. Marshes teemed with geese and ducks shot with cane arrows or captured by large nets that either engulfed diving birds or were thrown over ones that flew or swam within reach. Mussels lined stream bottoms, while salmon, trout, and whitefish swarmed in the rivers and lakes. Freshwater fishing became a year-round activity; early white explorers and settlers often noted fish being dried on scaffolds and pine saplings. Wokas, or camas lily plants, were probably the most important aspect of their diet, and their gathering became a formalized process. After these wild water-lily plants withered, leaving only a pod with small, shiny, dark seeds, the starchy bulbs were harvested. Great mounds were amassed and stored for winter use, either dried and cooked whole or pounded, and molded into small cakes that were then baked before storage. A full season's labor was spent in picking pods, drying them, and grinding them into mush. [5]
The gradual acquisition of horses by trading with Plains tribes to the east produced sudden and dramatic changes in the social and political structure of Klamath culture. By the 1840s the Klamaths had so many horses that they were considered notable adversaries in war. In addition to the taking of booty from neighboring peoples, emphasis was laid on the capture of slaves, and several of the Plateau groups found themselves middlemen in a profitable slave-horse trading business. [6] By the time whites began settling in southern Oregon, the Klamaths possessed a well-established lifeway emphasizing a hunting and gathering economy; the local autonomy of isolated hamlets, or villages; a basic material culture with unelaborate ceremonial activities; and a religion centering on Shamanism and mythology. [7]
Although the Klamaths and Modocs were once closely associated, they separated into more distinct tribal entities sometime around the late 1770s. By the time of white intrusion into the Tule Lake area, the Modocs were clearly an individual group, calling themselves the "Lake People." Possessing a stone-age technology prior to 1800, within the next forty years, following the introduction of horses, they widened their horizons considerably. They not only acquired a reputation among their neighbors (especially the Pit River Indians, Shastas, Paiutes, and Upland Takelmas) as fearsome raiders, but they also became astute businessmen who traded captives for horses and white men's trade goods.
The region dominated by the Modoc tribe comprised a small strip of land east of the Cascade Range and straddling both sides of the present-day Oregon-California line. These tribesmen had at least twenty semi-permanent winter villages situated alongside lakes and streams in peaceful valleys. The one farthest north was located on the present site of Klamath Falls, while another stood at Hot (Willow) Creek, four more along Lower Klamath Lake, four on Lost River, seven on the shores of Tule Lake, and three farther east. An abundance of foodstuffs was at hand. Numerous ducks, geese, swans, pelicans, loons, and gulls could be found on the waterways, and salmon and other fish were smoked and stored for the winter. Turtle flesh provided sustenance and their shells were fashioned into bowls and utensils. Nearby plains and ridges provided a variety of large and small game, including deer, antelope, mountain sheep, elk, bears, rabbits, squirrels, and prairie chickens, while water lilies in the bottomlands and marshes could be supplemented by other tuberous roots, such as wild turnips, and by wild plant seeds. Tules, or rushes, found along the lake shores were woven into mats, baskets, and mocassins, and were also used as thatch for Modoc houses.
Headquartered in the Tule Lake basin, the Modocs frequented the east and south shores of Klamath Lake, roamed throughout the Butte Creek country farther south, and ventured as far north as Lost River. Despite their wanderings, they were always assured of a defensive stronghold in the twisted passages, caves, and trenches of the formidable Lava Beds area of present northern California. A small but hardy group, skilled in warfare and in eking out an existence in an often harsh environment, the Modocs were to prove a formidable adversary for white men after contact brought these two dissimilar cultures into conflict.

I started writing for OCW around 1976, although it was not until the fall of 1978 that I moved to Iola, Wis., to work for the magazine. For a couple of years my friend Mike Carbonella and I had read about the Iola old Car Show that is held the second weekend of every July. In July 1978, we started thinking about driving out from Staten Island, N.Y., to attend the show and see all of Ken Buttolph's Chevys. (Back then Ken had mostly Chevys.) When push came to shove, the trip was too long for the time we had and we went to the AACA meet in York, Pa., instead. As a result, the first Iola Old Cars Show I attended was in 1979. The show was a large one then, but nowhere near as large as today. If I remember correctly, the 1979 theme was Wisconsin cars and I can remember sitting on State Street and watching all the Nashes and AMCs roll in. One non-Wisconsin-built car that really stood out was an orange Packard Panther Daytona. At the time that car was part of the Calvacade of Cars Museum that a collector named Gene Grengs had in the Eau Claire area and he DROVE it to Iola. Back then the campgrounds for the show was where the car corral is today and some of the OCW staff would go there at night and joke around with visitors by their campfires. I remember some people from the "big city" of Milwaukee kidding us about what we did in Iola for fun. "We watch the potato trucks go by," I said. Then, I told them that it was my first year in Iola after living for 32 years in New York City. Then I said, "What do YOU do for fun in a small town like Milwaukee." It's all in your perspective, isn't it?

Great Pre-Owned Value by Alex, Iowa on 01/06/2010. Trim: 2000 Chevrolet Monte Carlo LS, Owned 4 years.
Pros: Excellent bang for the buck, especially as a pre-owned. Definately performs above what one would expect given the pricetag today. Had some minor mechanical problems, but I purchased mine with high miles (130,000) and it lasted a long time (40,000) before anything came up. The problems were minor, i fixed them on my own (cheap repairs!) with no previous car experience and simple instructions and tips found online. Fair price, easy and cheap to improve on your own. I've done a lot of fun projects with mine, learned a lot.
Cons: Selling it seems like a big loss, the sell value is lower than the worth. Definately a buyer's car. City milage v.s. highway is rediculous, i'm happy i do mostly highway driving.
Overall review: I would definately recommend this car. When i got it, i just wanted to pay it off and trade up. Now i'm serious about keeping and caring for this car. She's my "brown sugar"

Happy Birthday to you, Dr. Seuss!
I am very aware that there are probably about 5,000,000,000,000,000,000+ other blogs posting about Dr. Seuss today. Without doubt, he is that awesome of a writer, artist and person.
But that's not why I am dedicating this post to Dr. Seuss.
When it comes to books, I have the visual attention span of a little kid. Exaggerated scales, bright colors, simple shapes and silly, made-up words. That's it. I don't want complicated, hidden meanings or realistic images. I don't want to read about real life, I want to read something that comes alive. In the wise words of Spoon, "gimme fiction." I am 25 years old and that hasn't changed.
Go in my closet (here, you're going to need this torch) and you'll find my teeny tiny book collection that houses the basics: Seuss, Dahl, Silverstein, Carle, Burton and Rowling. These writers don't seem to be so concerned with real life either. In fact, they make fun of it. And I understand why. Look up the beginnings of almost all of these writers and there in big font is a common theme, "IT'LL NEVER SELL." Whether consciously so or not, the work of these accomplished artists repeatedly illustrates a certain motive to defy that annoying barrier that most of us today can now thankfully replace with what we know as artistic license.
Dr. Seuss tells stories that are more personal than teaching right from wrong. He shares with us a life learned through struggle - and sometimes, unfairness. He channels the triumphant power of courage and persistence, in the most inspiring, sing-along manner. To me, this post is about something that personal.
For the past several years, I have found myself stuck somewhere between can't and never. Professionally, I felt like I was slowly being caved in by shadowy figures who didn't really believe in me. I kept ping-ponging between their criticisms of "that's art" and "that's not architecture." They made me a thinker, but no longer a believer. I had gone in at 18 loud, proud and crazy. By the time I got out, my work had succumbed to the expectations of cold, functional realities and was lost of my identity. Wasn't long after I felt like I too, was no longer me. Personally, I also felt trapped by a strict confinement to fit a certain mold: graduate, find a job, make money, marry, have kids. What do you mean you are not just going to do architecture after all? What else was that $90k for???? Again, I had to face cold, functional realities. I'm sure this may upset or offend some, but I owe those the truth. Every part of me felt like it was turning gray and fading into the background. With the worries of pleasing everyone else but me, I was invisible.
Enter Dr. Seuss. I remember a specific day in August of last year I had gone into a local bookstore to purchase a special birthday gift for someone. I had previously done all the extensive research and my visit was supposed to be a quick, one-stop shop. I ended up sitting on the floor going through piles of Dr. Seuss books until I was finally escorted out the store at closing time. The way in which the bright colors of Seuss's characters popped against gray and subdued backgrounds made me fall in love with his books all over again. It made me fall in love with me all over again.
I had gone home and started drawing. The next few weeks I was trying all kinds of (both old and new) things: painting, writing, dancing, making jewelry, collaging cards, running, yelling, etc. I didn't stop.
Dr. Seuss made me come alive. This is what I found so crucial to all of a sudden drop everything and get my coloring pencils out. I couldn't draw heavily enough in this post how much those huge letters pictured up above spell out the greatest advice I've come across in a long time. To think I found it all for just the price of $14.95 goes to show you that how much money you make means nothing.
P.S. The fact that spell-check recognizes "Suess" wraps up just how important he is to adults as he is to kids. If you haven't already, visit Seussville.
