Google 'open' memo betrays deep corporate delusion
is the author of this article trying to live up to be like Richard Stallman?
Richard Stallman and his FSF hold up an admirable ideal, that ALL software should be open source. Nothing wrong with that, but in very few cases does a pure open source model work in business, but rather both open and closed source have their place. But to call this memo a "delusion" is in itself a delusion. Google has given away a lot of great software and given away some important source code to the community (ie Android, Go programming language). Please give Google a break and give them some credit for what theyve done.
Early adopters bloodied by Ubuntu's Karmic Koala
Shuttleworth spends $30 million to float in space, but cant 'afford' to hire compitent programmers
Can we stop running hype storys on Ubuntu already? If Shuttleworth was just another hobbiest making a distro in his living room in his spare time, then I could forgive all these glitches. But he has the money to assemble professional talent but instead heads a band of amateur freetards. Maybe if you run a story on Mint Linux you might find a useable distro being a made with only a tiny fraction of Shuttleworths resources.
Ubuntu's Karmic Koala bares fangs at Windows 7
bares fangs, ha ha ha .....just use Mint if you want a professionaly done Linux distro
I do have huge respect for Shuttleworth and his merry band of freetards for finally making a user friendly distro. But their ability to make a commercial ready distro is nill. Their own company mission statement just parrots Stallman's 'freedoms'. Try Mint Linux or Elive if you want Ubuntu/Debian compatible distros that are not pig slow.
Nokia 'seeking partners' for ARM-based netbook
Nokia's Maemo Linux OS is an extremely crippled flavor of Debian. If you want a handheld with a Linux distro that is totally open and will have an open repository, than you have to check out the Pandora http://openpandora.org/
The Pandora uses open hardware so their is no restricted drivers, so you can run any OS and software on this handheld that can compile on an ARM processor. It has a 600mhz processor and 256mb ram, so it can even run lightweight desktop distros like XUbuntu

Microsoft to encircle Google and Apple with Windows Mobile split
ok, lets go through this again
Nokia, Palm, and MS have been cramming enterprise apps down the users throat for the past 10 years and giving these mobile OS's the insulting term 'smartphone'. Finally Apple comes a long and finally gives the user what they want which is a vast diversity of useful apps. Nokia, Palm and MS respond by giving users a touch screen.
There is an answer my friends, the Pandora: http://openpandora.org/
uses open hardware so their is no proprietary drivers and so will run about any OS that compiles on an ARM processor.
........so long suckers
Nokia exec denies Symbian Maemo swap claim
if you want mobile Linux...use open mobile LInux
There are two handhelds that people should know about if you want a smartphone or handheld that runs linux:
the OpenMoko Freerunner: www.openmoko.com
and the Pandora: http://openpandora.org/
although the Pandora is not ready yet, it will kick butt on what the Nokia N810 will do

Nokia dropping Symbian??? focusing on Maemo?
Sry for OT comment, but I missed the news on Nokia dropping Symbian, and I dont see anything about it in a Reg search. Can anyone direct me to news on that?
Air force pounds Philippine MILF lairs
was funny the first time
I dont have a problem of making jokes of war. War is always stupid, no matter how justified the cause, one is always fighting for or against something stupid. But trying to milk another laugh from those who didnt catch this joke the last time is pretty cheap. I think El Reg can dig up more low brow humor elsewhere.

Unsafe at any speed: Memcpy() banished in Redmond
here is what Bjarne had to say
I fired off an email to Bjarne Stroustrup to see what he thought about this issue and here is what he had to say:
Developers more 'satisfied' with PHP than other codes
php is good for teaching too
For a first programming language I think php is the best option. It takes syntax features from perl, java and c and blends them in a simple intuitive way. The best part for a beginner is that they see immediate tangible results for their programming efforts instead of command line apps/scripts that do nothing but model a useful program. I wish it was my first language.
'Lenny': Debian for the masses?
you got to try Elive
If you want to try a Debian fork that is smoking fast, doesnt freeze up all the time (like Ubuntu) and not needlessly difficult for the average linux noob, than you you have to try Elive www.elivecd.org
Its really a shame that Shuttleworth who is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, runs a distro coded by slacker/freetard ner'dowells. If you want to experience a Linux distro with commercial quality, you have to try Elive.
Im just a fanboy, not part of the dev team
C dominated 2008's open-source project nursery
There is no "best" tool for the job in programming or any other field.
There is a whole new generation learning programming languages like C++ by rote in quick courses in places like junior colleges, and they dont understand the underlying concepts of the language or how it applys to computer architecture. And then these people go around asking "experts" why the language they are learning is the "best tool for the job" hoping they will get an explanation to justify their choice of language. But that is a mistake, no one should ever accept anything as best on face value or even the word of an "expert". The best language is the one that gives you the results you want and balance that with the power and flexibility you want, and all these things dont come free. C++ is a difficult language to use. Even "experts" who think they understand it often rely on all manor of parlor tricks to accomplish even the most minor tasks. Runtime safety for example is given very little value. A language like Java might suffice for enterprise infrustructure apps, but for complex commercial standalone apps only a language like Ada will provide the kind of runtime safety for people smart enough to use it.
@steve hive
****It comes down to this, multi-threading or no, that you can't prove to anyone that a formally correct program written in C is any less reliable that a formally correct program written in ToolDuJour or any other language, and it is no easier in practicality to prove that a program *is* formally correct in another language than it is in C .
If it were, ADA would absolutely rule the universe at the moment, but it doesn't because it's rubbish. C is rubbish too, but responsibility for it's rubbishness lies solely with the programmer.****
If you could prove algorithms (the turing machine proved you cant) then we would have perfect programming languages and no need for debuggers. I dont know where you get off saying Ada is rubbish. The fact that every language in common use besides C/C++ is interpreted (Java, C#, Python, Perl, PHP,etc) means that todays programmers cant handle low level programming. Ada is the only compiled language that is built to be safe by very strong type checking and very insular modularity. But you can just keep using Java....you clod
Steve Jobs takes medical leave from Apple to focus on health
does anyone really know Jobs?
I would never wish bad health or death on anyone, and I hope the best for Jobs. But I think the public should take an honest look at his legacy, yes he is a brilliant designer and leader in tech innovation, but the other side to that is that he is also the most abusive corporate head that Im aware of. Is exploits of overworking and humiliating his employees are legendary. I dont know how he got away with it as its very common for employees to sue companies for such abuse. Im not trying to say he should suffer for his bad karma either, but now that he is not in control I wish people would take time to step back and reflect on what really has gone on at Apple.
SCO auctions Unix and mobile assets to continue fight
portrait of an open source patent troll
For those of you who dont know the whole story, AT&T made the source code of unix available to use by universities and business before the existence of open source licenses. They later sold the rights to the name unix to Novell, and then Novell sold it to SCO.
The first joke is that SCO is going after Linux which is not based on unix but rather minux which is an OS in a book of operating systems that was never intended to be used but rather teach OS concepts.
The second joke can be found in the last line of the article:
"Last year a US judge declared Novell the owner of Unix properties that SCO had claimed, and heaped further financial woe on the burdened company by ordering SCO to pay Novell $2.5m as part of his finding"
so...SCO has to pay Novell, ha ha ha naaah, dont think SCO will have an easy time being a patent troll with all the open flavors of unix, especially when there are still commercial unix flavors being marketed.
Larry Wall on the Zen of Perl 6
Perl....for the hardcore only!
Its a mistake to call Perl 6.....Perl. Perl 6 its an experiment in language design and I doubt its going to go anywhere, because the old trick of throwing everything into the language but the kitchen sink is not going to accomplish anything at this day and age. Perl was really clever to put dynamic typing, functional programming syntax and regexps and end up with a powerful (for that time) shell scripting language. But languages like Python and Ruby have all that stuff with an easier to read Pascal like syntax. Perl is still the secret weapon of the hardcore admin, in fact sometimes I wonder why Perl hasnt become the default shell in certain flavors of *nix as Perl just puts Bash to shame.
Apple more closed than Microsoft
@Bernhard Rosenkraenzer
Im not buying the argument that Apple forces their customers to use their hardware to avoid driver problems, lets look at the choices they give:
a) iMac- I dont want my computer inside the monitor casing, I want to be able to choose/replace the monitor that I want.
b) Macbook and Macbook Pro- This is as close as Apple gets to selling something affordable/useful, but still too much money to spend for a laptop with a one button touchpad.
c) Mac mini- absolutely worthless, quite a lot of money for a weakling that you cant even put a graphics card in to soup up, an insult to anyones intelligence, not even a cheap monitor thrown in
d)Mac Pro- dual Xeons?? what the hell am I going to use this for? good for gaming? no, but if you need to run a server or render farm out of your house, youre set to go
There is no excuse for a line of computers like this, its simply trying to be 'different' in order to justify price mark-up. What kind of idiot will tolerate buying overpriced mis-matched hardware they dont need and accept driver compatibility as an excuse for doing so?
@Closed = Bad... Says who?
AC- I think you are missing the point, closed/proprietary is not bad in and of itself. But we are in a situation where we have 3 main choices for home computer OS:
A) a proprietary company that enjoys a overwhelming marketshare, and has tried to use that marketshare to force its customers to buy a new OS that is bloated by cutting off access to the previous OS that people liked.
B)a proprietary comany that forces its customers to buy its hardware due to a very unusual situation where the CEO of this company is an "irreplaceable" talent behind the design of company products and also happens to be an ego-maniac, so normal market driven economics is thrown out the window and the customer is forced into the company's product lock-in at every possible instance, style and status being the motivators behind doing this, which of course attracts a certain kind of customer (what the Brits would refer to as an "upperclass twit").
C)an open sourced OS that gives anyone the freedom to change anything and adapt to anything they want
gee, now which one do I want to choose? hmmm, I know a lot of people think that they feel some sort of responsibility to A and B to be loyal customers, but somehow, C seems like its a good alternative out of the mess A and B have put us in.
now Im not a free software/open source fanatic, and I dont think most people who use Linux or BSD are using it to get free (non-paying) software. But the fact that Linux and BSD are open is a major factor in breaking the monopolistic practices that proprietary software companys A and B are playing.
Python 3.0 appears, strangles 2.x compatibility
python speed potential
I wonder how fast it will be possible to make dynamic languages? Neither Sun nor MS has been able to get dynamic language to run on their respective Java and .NET VMs. I think most people who want a fast dynamic language, such as in game scripting, use Lua. But I think their are faster dynamic language than that such as Pike and Squirrel. But if Python and Ruby could run as fast as Java, then that could really expand the use of scripting languages and blur the line between interpreted and compiled language use.
So what will happen to Sun?
no more bright ideas
If ponyboy sells of the hardware divisions of Sun, then Sun is dead. The time is now ripe to make money in opensource software and operating systems (yes you can sell OSS), people are dissatisfied with MS and Vista and their endless frameworks, Apple has never been a friend to the unwashed masses, but Sun is doing nothing. Now is the time Sun needs leadership, and ponyboy simple opensources everything so that 'all boats will rise' (his words). In the past Sun has had enough bright people working for them so that they always came up with ways to make money, but back then they had bright people in charge. But now they are floating aimlessly in the middle of the OSS sea, and their boat is not rising. Sun will sink, they will get bought out cheap, and that will be the end of Sun.
What if computers went back to the '70s too?
how about some specs
Ive looked at a lot of sites on the PDP-11 and I have a hard time figuring out what the specs were. The only thing Ive come up with is that it had 64k of RAM memory. What kind of permanent memory did it have? Just tape? Was the memory or OS accessed from a line editor, a teletype or console terminal? I know its hard to calculate processor speed as it had a lot of tiny processors, but what was its approximate speed? Thats really interesting to hear some of you have a working PDP-11 in your possession. And not to start a flame war, but which was better, Unix or VMS?

All Android apps are not made equal
Id like to remind you that Google has open sourced Anroid, and that there is potential for it to be expanded beyond its current form. I can see a lot of other mobile Linux OS's building in compatibility to Android but still continue to run their own flavor of mobile Linux, openmoko probably will be the first to do this. Google has huge market access by default, there is nothing wrong with them designing an framework that forces software access through their channels, they built Android with their own money, if commercial software companys dont like Google, they can go somewhere else. This is still a huge improvement over Symbian which has tight control on who can develop for that OS.
this is great, what mobile Linux needs!!
The thing that has been holding back Linux for so long is a way for commercial software companys to distribute apps without giving raw binarys and having different package managers deal with it in different ways. Now google is coming a long and finally giving mobile Linux a way to go commercial. Mobile Linux will lead the way at beating the iPhone at a game that the mobile software market should have taken 10 years ago, and Symbian (which is being open sourced also) will be forced to play catch up. Laugh all you want you iPhone zombies, mobile Linux will give a lot more choice which will result in more creativity, more power for less cost.
yeah Im a mobile Linux fanboi, no denying, and this is what I will buy as soon as it gets cellular connectivity: http://openpandora.org/
Run Mac OS X on a PC
it comes down to how apps install (or dont install)
The only thing that attracts me to Mac is there installationless apps, and the only thing bad about Ubuntu and most other Linux distros is the hacked way they install software with package managers. If someone ever comes up with a way to run apps on Linux like OSX does, then its bye bye Mac forever
Google frees Android from code of secrecy
smart way to go
Well Im impressed. Its will be interesting to see if they stick with the Java only app restriction now that its open source. And like Gulfie, I wonder if its possible now to compile the OS to different mobile platforms. The biggest problems with Linux in general has been a lack of software installation standards. I wonder if Android addresses that in a way that goes beyond forcing people to use Java. Ive heard a large part of Nokia's meamo mobile Linux OS is open(I think its based on Debian), it will be interesting to see if they go all the way with open source.
Web palmtop offers life-time no-limits mobile surfing for £60
please bring it here to Mexico
Well it might be a cheap looking, but it sure beats all the touch screen crap that everyone else is using. Id really like to see a company like this go international. I live in Mexico, and airtime rates are so expensive as to make date access impossible (40cents USD per minute) which is why Carlos Slim the owner of Telmex is the richest man in the world. Id really welcome this here in Mexico.
Nokia's Communicator to make a comeback?
I dont get how it works
In the picture you see above it being used as a touchscreen with the keyboard completely hidden as though its a slideout keyboard, but below you see the keyboard on the side like a clamshell. So Im guessing the keyboard swivels all the way around to the back...which is a good idea, as I think that is what has prevented people from buying clamshell phones that open to the side for a querty keyboard. If they did the same thing to the N810 I would love it, I would have to buy an 810 with a clamshell form factor to protect the screen. That is something that would blow away the iPhone and all the mobile game consoles like the PSP and DS in one swoop.
Nokia chief: Mobile superiority coming to America
Neil Hoskins, you are way out of touch
Neil Hoskins- read James Anderson's post. The americans arent taking credit for something thats already been done, they are finally giving the customer want they fully want instead of hyping a very incomplete and botched up mobile platform. Apple started it all by showing that a handheld can do almost anything a PC can do. Nokia has never done anything except dish out crap enterprise apps and completely ignore the common user who wants to use their phone for things like web surfing and live messaging. I'll bet you anything that Nokia wont even try to fix Symbian and will drop on the mobile Linux bandwagon with their maemo.org offering.
Googlephone unworthy of Satan tag
Satan phone indeed
Google is making all the same mistakes as Apple, have they not noticed that everyone wants to hack their iPhones to unlock it? Google is poised to be in a position as a huge content provider for mobile apps, and then take the Apple turn there also, you can only use THEIR version of Java to write apps. But you know who is going to steal the show on this one? Just check this site for the answer on who holds the keys for freedom: www.openmoko.com
Symbian: Linux unfit for mobile phones
Ha! Thanks for the FUD Mr. Panagrossi
What a joke that Nokia would accuse mobile Linux of fragmentation of application portability. Thats been the model for all mobile hardware makers is to make apps proprietary and cut off the customer from using anything but their platform. Now that mobile Linux is coming out and knocking out all these barriers, Nokia has no choice but to spew out FUD over the mobile Linux platform (which Nokia uses by the way on their potent N810 line). If the mobile hardware makers had played it right from the beginning they would be a giant pool of Symbian software from which they all could profit together. Now that profit is going to be spread out among the masses, unlike the freetards that are stifling desktop Linux, I think that mobile Linux apps will be an area of profit for commercial software companys. Check out www.openmoko.com to see how well mobile Linux runs on a 400mhz Freerunner cellphone. There is also #openmoko a fairly active IRC channel on Freenode.
screw you Nokia, youve been dishing out half-ass hardware and hyping crap apps for too many years, youre getting whats coming to you
Open source release takes Linux rootkits mainstream
you cant hack a true hacker
Wouldnt be surprised if there was a company in Redmond Wa is spreading around money for research into "Linux security". And thats the beauty of open source licensing is that you can make a closed source OS that is100% compatible with Linux without worry of lawsuits as no one can hold ownership over someone else on code based on open licensing. And I predict that after a while such closed source Linux compatible OS's will start sprouting up and attracting customers. I actually hope hackers do start targeting *nix OS's because *nix was built buy true hackers who will have a field day making their OS's a moving target way out of range of a philipine hackers "I love you" virus.
Ubuntu documentation in shreds
GNL (GNU's not Linux)
The whole problem are the open source tards who go around trying to get everyone to permanently attach open source with Linux. Linux is NOT just a kernal wrapped inside a "GNU operating system". Linux does not have to be compiled by GNU compilers, nor does it have to use GNU utilitys which are just copys of the the original UNIX utilitys that were designed as part of the UNIX OS. The Richard Stalhlman sock puppets are scaring away all the commericial software companys who think that they will be forced to open source their code (confused with free speech) and give it away for free (confused with free beer). You can make money off Linux, people are not going to leave commerical software wholesale and use the free stuff in open source. Their is money to be made doing commercial Linux, until then, have fun using distros that were coded (and documented) by college kids in their moms basement.
Linux desktop freaks out Ubuntu man
GNL (GNU's not Linux)
Linux is NOT tied to open source!! The fact that the kernel has an open source license does not prevent the rest of the entire Linux experience from being entirely commercial. The Richard Stahlman sock puppets who go around trying to get everyone to refer to Linux as GNU/Linux are liars. Linux does not have to be compiled from GNU compilers nor does it have to use GNU utilitys(which are just open source copys of UNIX utilitys). The tards who go around saying "we built Linux and only the kernel was missing" is a blatent lie, nothing the GNU foundation has done is done is directly tied to LInux. Im not against open source, Im a fan of it, but it is just an option. Too many commercial software companys are scared away from Linux because they think that they are forced to give away their software for free and open source it. The Stahlman sock puppets further confuse the issue by spouting their "free speech, not free beer" line. The bottom line is youre not forced to release your software as open source (confused with free speech) on Linux, and you can sell software (confused with free beer) on Linux rather than just recieve maitenaince fees.
why can no one lead Linux into enterprise market?
Shuttleworth is a little too humble/timid for his own good. If he were to go to a billionaires luncheon and announce he needed investors to make a serious commericial version of Linux, not just another server distro mind you, but a distro for handleing an the entire needs of enterprise computing, well those billionaires would be falling all over themselves to put big $$$ checks in his hand. But no, Shuttleworth is at the mercy of all the Richard Stalhlman sock puppets for his resources. Balmer must be leaning back and chuckling at all the clowns we have trying to lead Linux.
Amazon sending Kindle to college
I knew it
For 10 years the technology has been existent to make a useful handheld for students, and no one has done it. Make a handheld computer using a b&w screen (truely black and white, not black on dark grey like Palm, Handspring, etc has always pushed on everyone) , with the almost nil power use of the b&w screen it will be able to stay on for a month. Make it a mini-laptop form factor, something easy to type stuff out in and throw in the backback. No frills, just the ability to use popular text formats, students cellphones can already handle the mp3's, videos, games and other junk not necessary for this device. I'll bet they will sell this dirt cheap, say $100 or less and that it will sell like hotcakes. After 10 years of waiting, finally a useful PDA is going to be made. I'll bet this will also sell well in third world nations for people with no telephone for a cheap communication device.
Debian delivers FreeRunner open-phone package
finally someone gets mobile linux right
Clicking on the Openmoko link I see that on Openmokos webpage that this Debian version is already available to install on the Freerunner phone. Im going to look into getting one of these. Now this is something that has the potential to blow away the iPhone and flush down all this Android nonsense.
Googlephone is coming soon
and where is nokia?
I think the whole android thing is stupid, you can only make apps in their version of Java. The whole idea of Java is being multiplatform, having your app available on any mobile platform. If there going to force people to use their own language they should use a speedy dynamic language like Pike. Nokia has been sitting on the potential to kill the iPhone with phones like the E90 and N810. Theyve just bought up Symbian and made it open source and are also using mobile Linux, they should be doing more to promote an open dev enviornment and access to 3rd party apps. Why is it only Jobs is able to get anything done with smartphones?
Sun opens Java tools in mobile fight back
I believe the reason that java has problems running on all platforms is not that it wont compile, but that the VM is unable to detect what kind of GUI toolkit to use as they always seem to be changing on most all platforms.
Amazon Kindle set to go massive
this is what olpc could be
The Kindle/ebook is really what the One Laptop Per Child program should be using. The idea of giving a fully functional laptop to every child in the African bush is a cruel joke as they dont have electricity and would be cranking like mad to keep it running, they dont have an educational system to show them how to use it. Something like the Kindle with a screen that uses almost no power would be a perfect communicator to give to adults to correspond with people at large distances. They could set up infrared reader posts in the bush for people to send/receive messages to each other. I would be a very practical thing that would improve peoples lives. Literacy would skyrocket with the use of these. The one laptop per child should only be used in developing countrys like China, India and Latin America to integrate into existing educational systems.
bring on the cheap clones!
I think there is something to the Kindle concept, and if they make cheaper clones of it, I'll be interested. First advantage is that the white/greyscale screen has very low power usage and I heard that the kindle can stay on for a week as it doesnt need backlighting. I know that Amazon hired experts and designed the Kindle in-house, so I dont know how much of this screen technology they own. The QWERTY keyboard input also opens a lot of possiblitys for creating your own text documents. I would be satisfied with just infrared connectivity to my PC and that would bring the cost of such a device way way down. Also a clamshell form factor would make such a device much more convenient to carry.
Openmoko to reveal Linux phone's inner workings
Id like to find out more about SMS gateways. Could you tell me about what you use either here or by email. cantrellb (at) gmail dotcom
its a case of management out of touch with R&D
Its a concept that could work, make things modular, give every possible choice to the gadget freak. And theyre already started out in reverse with screen data entry interface which is what so many dont like about the iPhone. Why are so many cellphone makers out of touch with what the user wants? Smartphone technology has been laying dormant for so many years just because the handset companys are too dense to package together all the advanced hardware and software features.
Intel feeds Portuguese 500,000 Classmate laptops
@kain preacher
---"Um last I checked Portugal was not exactly a 3rd world poverty stricken country"---
Um, youre right its not....and so? Your point is that low cost laptops should not be used in education for developing countries but only in poverty stricken third world countries?
For me, countries fall into 3 basic classes:
1)Fully industrialized nations like the US, France, Japan, etc
2)Developing nations like China, India, Mexico, etc
3)Poor third world nations like most countries in Africa, etc
These low cost laptops will be most effective in developing nations by integrating them into the educational system. I think they should be distributed in communities within poor third world nations, but one for every child will be of little use unless there is an educational program to go along with it.
The idea of low cost laptops goes way beyond third world outreach, it will become a part of the worlds educational system. If Negroponte cant except that, thats too bad.
how dare you help children without going through OLPC first
The whole OLPC program has been going nowhere for the past five years. So now one country is finally tired of waiting and is implementing their own low cost laptops for education and OLPC is crying foul. I'll admit Im not knowledgeable on the details of this, but it just strikes me as ridiculous. If someone can counter my claim that is ridiculous and tell me how OLPC is being wronged, Id like to hear it.
@Tom ....the worlds problems are not caused by lack of food, but by ignorance
---"You want to save the children? how about feeding them. Oh look another poor developing world kid starved to death.. but heshe did have a nice laptop."---
The problem is that the majority of the worlds population are subsistance farmers and the land can no longer support that kind of destructive low yield farming. It is possible for industrialized nations to go in to all of the third world nations and set up commercial farming operations that would provide an over abundance of food, and that actually might not be a bad idea. But I dont see any third world nations calling for such aid, because they want to be self sufficient. That is something you dont understand unless you know what it is like to be poor. The answer to all the worlds problems is EDUCATION. I do agree with you that laptops are not a priority in extremely poor third world nations but rather developing nations, they should be integrated into educational system and not merely just given to a child/family.

1 The normal one would be 'the American accent', but as there are many, 'a' could be used.
2 You could use both for the bus, though 'the 84' would be more common.
3 Most likely 'the'- a specific dress.
4 Most likely 'the waiter' as mentioning the restauran makes it specific, but if there are many waiters 'a' could be used.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) – Former Texas Tech football player Graham Harrell is in Dallas preparing for his rookie year at Super Bowl XLV with the Green Bay Packers.
Harrell,25, said it's a dream come true to be in a place where some veteran players have waited for years to be. And even more so, it's a true homecoming for the Texas Native. Harrell was born and raised in Ennis, less than 40 miles south of Dallas.
"Being in the Super Bowl your first year is something special. For it to be the one in your home state and home town is something that's great. We're just excited to be here, hopefully we play well," said Graham Harrell, Green Bay Packers No.3 Quarterback.
And his family can't be more proud. "They're excited to be here, it just so happens they're right down the road. So it makes it that much sweeter and that much more important, the fact they are getting to go through it with me," said Harrell.
But it hasn't been this easy. "Any kid that plays football dreams about being in the Super Bowl. It really is a dream come true," said Harrell.
His career has been up and down since ranking first in NCAA history with 134 passing touchdowns and 1,403 completions at Tech. After college Harrell went undrafted in 2009 and got close to the NFL when he tried out for the Cleveland Browns. Then ended up in the Canadian Football League with the Saskatchewan Roughriders, but spent the entire season on the injured list.
"I had a blast out there. Then I had the opportunity to get back to the states so I jumped on it," said Harrell.
Harrell then signed with the Packers last May and spent most of 2010 on the practice squad. He was called up to the main team when Aaron Rodgers suffered a concussion in the Thanksgiving game against Detroit. Harrell is on the active roster and the third string quarterback. He said he's just happy to be part of the team. He could possibly be called to play in the Super Bowl if the packers need his services.
"I guess you always have to be ready. If Aaron went down and Matt went down, I think I'd be ready and perform well. You don't want anyone to get hurt, but if it came to it hopefully I'd be ready and be able to play," said Harrell.
He thanks his father, who coached him in high school, and Mike Leach, who coached him in college. Harrell said they were there to make his dreams become a reality. "He's been a huge roll in getting me where I am today and he gets a lot of credit to where I am," said Harrell.
Even if Harrell doesn't throw a single pass, he will savor the experience, and remember advice from Mike Leach. "He told me congratulations and make the most of it. And learn as much as you can, because hopefully you'll be there one day as the starter," said Harrell.
Originally the packers said only active players would be in the Super Bowl team photo. The Packers have since then moved the picture to Friday, so the entire team can be in it.
The Green Bay Packers will take on the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday at 5:30 p.m. CST on Fox.

Meriva® is a patented formulation
of curcumin, a dietary phenolic, with
soy lecithin (non-GMO)(1).
The two compounds form a non-covalent adduct in a 1:2 weight ratio, and two parts of microcrystalline cellulose are then added to improve formulation, with an overall contents of curcumin of 20%.
Turmeric has a long history of medicinal use, especially to support healthy inflammation(2), and many of its traditional uses have been mechanistically validated in cellular systems as well as in animal models of disease. Indeed, with almost 3000 pre-clinical investigations, curcumin is one of the best investigated products of the whole biomedical literature(2). These studies have demonstrated that curcumin acts as a master switch of inflammation by acting at level of enzymes (COXs and LOs) and transcription factors (NF-kB) level, as well as at their genomic expression(3). However, little clinical evidence of efficacy has so far been reported, and most of the beneficial effects of curcumin are suggested by epidemiological studies, supported by studies in animal models, extrapolated from studies in vitro, but not validated clinically(2). This paradoxical situation is mainly due to the poor absortption of curcumin with a dismally low oral absorption, characterized by plasma concentrations that are barely overcome 50 ng/mL after administration of dosages as high as 12 g/die(4).

Curcumin, just like most dietary phenolics, is sparingly soluble both in water and in oily solvents, but shows polar groups (two phenolic hydroxyl and one enolic hydroxyl) that can interact via hydrogen bondings and polar interactions with complementary group, like the polar heads of phospholipids. Thus, phosphatidylcholine has a highly polarized head, with the negative charge of a phosphate group and the positive charge of the choline ammonium group, and can complex a variety of poorly soluble phenolics, including curcumin(1). By embedding curcumin into the environment of phospholipids, the rapid exchange of phospholipids between biological membranes and the extracellular fluids can shuttle it into biological membranes, boosting its cellular captation.
A 2007 study published in the journal Cancer Chemotherapy
and Pharmacology(5) demonstrated Meriva®'s superior bioavailability compared to a
standardized curcumin extract in rats.
Meriva® improved plasma Cmax and AUC of curcuminoids by 20-fold and levels of curcumin in the liver increased by much more then a 20 folds.
A high oral load of unformulated curcumin (340 mg/Kg) and an amount of Meriva® of 1.8 g/Kg, (corresponding to 340 mg/Kg of curcumin), were administered by oral gavage to Male Wistar rats. The presence of curcumin and metabolites was evaluated at 15, 30, 60 and 120 minutes after administration in plasma, liver and intestinal mucosa. In accordance with previous studies, 99% of curcumin was present in plasma as glucuronides, with the remaining 1% being curcumin sulphate and free curcumin. Complexation with phospholipids led to a marked increase in the concentration of all the plasma curcuminoids (over 23 fold in the case of glucuronides, ca 5-fold in the case of free curcumin, and ca 1.5-fold in the case of sulphates). Since glucuronides are by far the prevailing plasma curcuminoids, the overall bioavailability of curcumin, as expressed in plasma curcuminoids and calculated from AUC values, was improved by over 23-fold when this compound was administered as Meriva® compared to the unformulated natural product.
In a comparative pharmacokinetic study in humans(6), the absorption of each single curcuminoid present in commercial curumin was compared between two dosages of Meriva® (1.0 and 1.9 g, corresponding to 209 and 376 mg of curcuminoids respectively) and one dosage of the corresponding unformulated curcuminoid mixture (1.8 g). The overall increase of curcuminoid absorption from Meriva® was ca. 29-fold (27-fold for the low dosage, 31-fold for the high dose). The increase of curcuminoid absorption was ca 20-fold for monomolecular curcumin, but 50 to 60 fold higher for demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin, with demethoxycurcumin, and not curcumin, being the major plasma curcuminoid with both dosages of Meriva®. Remarkably, demethoxycurcumin is more potent than curcumin in many assays.
The improved absorption, and possibly also a better plasma curcuminoid profile, might underlie the clinical efficacy of Meriva® at doses significantly lower than unformulated curcuminoid mixtures.
* Normalized AUCs, expressed in ng/mL(plasma) x h/mg ingested, were devided by the AUC of the reference to calculate the relative absorption values.
In a recent registry study(7), Meriva® was evaluated for its efficacy in 50 patients affected by bone health challenge (X-ray diagnosis confirmation).
The symptoms were evaluated by the WOMAC score; mobility was studied by walking performance on the treadmill and the overall inflammatory response function was assessed by measurements of C-reactive protein plasma concentration.
The trial was conducted over a three months' period, and the patients were randomly divided into two groups receiving
respectively Meriva® 1 g/die (in two separate administrations) and the "best available treatment", or the "best available treatment" alone, as defined by the patients' general practitioners or specialists. The treadmill performance (10% inclination, 3 Km/h speed) showed an improvement of 201% of the initial walked distance at two months, and a further improvement (+44%) at three months from the beginning of the study. These positive results were complemented by secondary end-points, namely the decrease in supplemental therapy use (63% in the Meriva® group vs 12% in the treatment group) and the decrease in gastrointestinal complications (38% in Meriva® vs 15% in controls (p<0.05).
In a further registry study(8), the activity of Meriva® for the complementary treatment bone health was further confirmed in a larger and longer (8 months) investigation, that enrolled 100 patients and was, otherwise, methodologically similar to the previous one, including the dosage (1 g/day of Meriva®, corresponding to 200 mg curcumin/day in two separate administrations). The results showed that the Meriva®-treated group enjoyed a statistically significant reduction in all primary clinical endpoints, the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities (WOMAC) score (decreased from 80.6 to 33.2), the Karnofsky Performance Scale (improved
from 73.3 to 92.2), and the treadmill walking performance test. These results were complemented by the evaluation of a series of inflammatory response function markers wider than the one considered in the first study (interleukin [IL]-1b, IL-6, soluble CD40 ligand [sCD40L], soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule (sVCAM)-1, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate [ESR]) that also showed a marked reduction in the Meriva® treated group. Conversely, no significant variation was observed in the "best available treatment" control group.
In a trial on 106 individuals(9) affected by eye health challange since at least 2 years was carried out. A 1200 mg/die dosage of Meriva® was administered (two tablets per day) for at least twelve months, complementing the therapy already in course. 86% of individuals in the Meriva®group enjoyed a subjective improvement of the overall well being after only 4/6 weeks, with a remarkable reduction in eye health challanges number. Also the number of subjects affected by eye health challanges relapses decreased by over 80%. This suggests that the prolonged intake of Meriva®, in association to standard treatment, is useful in supporting ocular health. Furthermore in a recent pilot study, the daily use of 1 g/day of Meriva®, associated with the standard treatment, has shown to ameliorate the visual acuity, supporting healthy vision quality.(10) These results qualify Meriva® as a safe ingredient with a strong potential even in poorly vascolarized tissues as the ocular bulb is.
In another registry study(11), 50 individuals were treated with Meriva® (1g/day) to evaluate its ability to support a healthy circulatory system. Participants were divided in two groups. The first one received Meriva® for 4 weeks while the second group was used as a control. Microcirculation was measured instrumentally (laser doppler flowmetry, pO2) and observationally (evaluation of the foot), after 4 weeks of treatment, the Meriva® group showed an amelioration of all the parameters investigated, as well as a general amelioration of the quality of life, as measured by the Karnofsky scale. Finally in a recent registry study(12) on 61 subjects evaluated Meriva® efficacy in supporting healthy prostate function compared to the best standard management (BSM) available.
Signs and symptoms were evaluated using the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS). A first group of 33 subjects were administered with BSM in association with Meriva® at the dosage of 500 mg/day for at least 24 weeks, while the remaining 28 volounteers (control group) were administered with only BSM.
All IPSS scores and quality of life improved in both groups, while in the Meriva® arm were significantly better than in the BSM-only group (p<0.05 for IPSS and p<0.01 for quality of life).
All these results underline the nutritional potential of curcumin as a natural ingredient to address the body's nflammation response function.

So many journalists recently wrote about iPad from Apple. But one aspect I haven't seen covered so far: a monopoly status of a market player is nice from a ROI (Return On Investment) point of view but not for the consumer. Why? - Let's have a look at the current situation. Publishers and Apple are still in a negotiation process which has not been finalized so far. Apple would not like to share customer data and of course they try to get as much revenue share as possible. Why not? As long as the iPad would be the only option in a market and publishers are under high pressure to deliver results Apple has an advantage.
But it is and was only a question of time (-to-market): it's curious to see how long it would take Apple's competitors to react. And no doubt it is necessary that more players enter the device market (iPhone & iPad) to offer alternatives. iPhone Apps are not the only answer to enrich the mobile experience and to make it more convenient. But Apple prevents technologies like Flash Light to run on their devices. And of course they will take appropriate measures to extend the timeline until HTML5 will be supported by Safari, the pre-installed browser on iPhones.
Two recent developments will have impact on how we will consume news tomorrow: HTML5 is rich of features, which will make additional software extensions like Flash replaceable. And the second technology with impact will be Adobe AIR.
What's Adobe AIR?
In short: it is a way to "use proven web technologies to build rich Internet applications that run outside the browser on multiple operating systems". Adobe AIR needs a software installation on your Mac or PC. But let's have a look at a real world case: Adobe and Condé Naste demo WIRED on Adobe Air shows that also Adobe would like to play an important role in the future of news. But watch it on your own:
Although the video is an impressive showcase of how a magazine like WIRED can make use of Adobe Air, still some questions were not answered: How long did it take to produce the WIRED demo? At what costs would it be possible to produce an edition on a regular base?

In case you haven't heard, the Nordstrom in Bellevue, WA is getting a new tequila bar/lounge. I've been told the walls will emulate wood from an old rustic barn with subway type tiles for flooring & backsplash areas perhaps.
The above image is of Lulu & Po in Brooklyn, NY (found on Remodelista) and I'm venturing to guess the new Nordstrom space will exude some of the same characteristics- earthy & rustic with clean lines, modern, warm & comfy.
Construction starts this month! So come check out the progress.

TIM MARTIN shows that comic books are not just for nerds.
How Comic Books became part of the literary establishment
Like science fiction, this is a medium with its roots in pulp and the alternative: for every scholar who attempts to trace the history of sequential art back to pre-Columbian parchment or the Bayeux Tapestry, there will be 50 diehards who claim it all started with Superman. Like science fiction, comics have spent a long time keeping their distance from what is seen as the mainstream of literature: both disciplines have had their moments of self-consciousness and post-modern reflexivity, and have begun a cautious rapprochement with the mainstream.
The central misconception around comics is the idea that they're a genre, not a medium. The roots of 20th-century popular comics may well be in genre fiction: we're all familiar with the zap-pow-whoppery of early superhero comics, whose campy cadences were deftly caught in the old Adam West television adaptations of Batman, and with the use of "comic-book" as an adjective synonymous with primary-coloured morality and cartoon violence. But although superhero stories are still as active a part of the comics medium as its other ancestor, the "funny papers" strip cartoon, many creators and artists have devoted years of energy and talent to guiding the medium out of its generic constraints.
What Scott McCloud, the critic and cartoonist, attempted to categorise in Understanding Comics – perhaps the medium's best work of literary criticism, and itself a comic – as "juxtaposed pictorial and other images in deliberate sequence, intended to convey information and/or produce an aesthetic response", now comprehends a rainbow of genres: history, criticism, biography, crime, sci-fi, romance, memoir, the classics, literary fiction, blogging, pornography and more. All in words and pictures.

NARAL hilariously jumps the gun on Pope Francis "Thank You" card.
Around here, we complain a lot that Republicans tend to charge up the outrage machine, or jump on the effusive praise bandwagon every time something happens that upsets their fine balance between ignoring culture completely and trying to convince America that Kirk Cameron makes excellent movies you should definitely see even if you kind of think he's a little crazy.
Anyway, it's nice to see someone else forget to read past the headline for once. NARAL Pro-Choice America is, of course, known for getting hot and bothered over abortion rights in this country and that's fine, because that's what they were founded to do, and despite being the only logical destination in America for anyone who actually obtained a Womens' Studies degree, they have observant marketing that appeals to the lowest common denominator of humanity, a mid-20s female who subscribes to Cosmopolitan and considers her life to be totally like Lena Dunham's on Girls, despite also being a communications major at a Big Ten school who is probably destined to marry a vacant public school "international studies" teacher and move back to the suburbs so that she can buy Oakleys and shuttle her three kids to soccer practice.
Not that I'm morally superior to anyone I went to high school with or anything.
But back to the point, last week, the media decided to jump on Pope Francis's comments that the media should focus on more than Pope Francis's comments. And NARAL decided that meant that the head of the Catholic Church was about to change the Church's position on killing unborn babies. And they wrote him a thank you note.
Unfortunately, NARAL forgot to either read past the headline on the America Magazine interview, or push one of its many well-educated interns to follow up in the story, because, while NARAL was raising money off the Pope's newfound respect for women who choose to violate one of the most immovable parts of Catholic dogma (and, at the same time, insult pretty much everyone's intelligence, but that's par for the course), the Pope decided to make a speech to a gathering of Catholic gynecologists in Rome, where he set out the parameters for the Catholic Church's new abortion policy.
In his comments, Francis denounced today's "throw-away culture" that justifies disposing of lives, and said doctors in particular had been forced into situations where they are called to "not respect life."
"Every child that isn't born, but is unjustly condemned to be aborted, has the face of Jesus Christ, has the face of the Lord," he said.
He urged the gynecologists to abide by their consciences and help bring lives into the world. "Things have a price and can be for sale, but people have a dignity that is priceless and worth far more than things," he said.
Something tells me that doesn't fit with NARAL's legislative agenda.
Honestly, Pope Francis would not have been elected had he not been willing to continue the work of Blessed John Paul II and Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, so it's illogical for the media to believe he represents a dramatic change for the Church, not that anyone in the Church wants a dramatic change anyway, except for maybe those "womynpriests" who aren't really part of the church. The Catholic position on killing the innocent (and, for that matter, killing the guilty) is pretty much set in stone. Let's just say that Pope Francis has been excellent at communicating the real work of the Church to people who wouldn't normally listen, and bringing people to the Church's teachings who wouldn't have lavished praise on Popes they considered to be more dogmatic. And that's a good thing.
Especially when NARAL runs head first into a brick wall. Thankfully, the Internet's Catholic community was there to help NARAL up by the elbow and offer them some constructive criticism.

Yes, NARAL is dearly misinterpreting the Pope and it's hard not to feel some schadenfreude at their expense, but the sarcastic tone of this article does not represent the spirit of Christian love which the Pope asked us to show towards those who are in the wrong on this and other issues.
I see you are new here. Let me assure you we do not play nice and the quality of my writing and the contents of my soul are frequently assessed by a member of the clergy. We'd thank you to keep your opinions on our charity to yourself unless you'd care to do more than be self-righteous and condescending.
What's that saying? "When someone asks you, 'what would Jesus do?' remember that losing your sh*t and flipping tables is an option."
Uncle Rufus
Elijah was a sarcastic dude… 1 Kings 18:27… When it was noon, Elijah taunted them: "Call louder, for he is a god; he may be busy doing his business, or may be on a journey. Perhaps he is asleep and must be awakened."
Wow, you won! You don't have to challenge your thoughts now!
Wait. What part of your remark challenged my thoughts? I was under the impression it was a mere personal remark to express your similar smugness at being capable of "critical thinking" or some such.
No, no, no, no, not me. It's something done for yourself!
Sorry for spouting the attitude back at this – it's unfortunate that these are the kinds of contributions to thought about politics and policy. I see how it holds up progress in so many components of the development of human understanding, and I get frustrated when I see it when there is so much real work to be done. For example, I think it IS wonderful what you put in the 'signed' section. But really, this has done just that (the first few paragraphs), with the main difference being pointing out a particular misrepresentation of the Pope. But then that seems to signify that that is what is most important – surely not what was intended, or at least not really what this ultimately 'said'. In a large way it is equally reductionist with even broader sweep. But that's okay! I think it is just important to think about how this has added to the conversation, and what it implicitly expresses about the manner in which a more complete understanding and measure of the situation should be carried out.
Fair enough. Thanks for clarifying. We serve a pretty stated purpose, but you are right overall.
I have a lot of frustrations with some of the ways gender studies, etc. carries things out, but to crush them while they are working on difficult distinctions might be a bad move.
Hahaha. Well, maybe I'll wait to do anything else until it isn't considered kicking them while they're down.
I really paid attention to the homily during Mass this past weekend, but apparently I missed the part where Father said abortion is now okie dokie with the Catholic Church.
You and me both.
There seem to be some serious Catholics here, which is very refreshing. I wonder what y'all make of some of Pope Francis' comments about [apparent] semi-universal redemption, like this one from his 22 May 2013 homily: "The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us, with the Blood of Christ: all of us, not just Catholics. Everyone! 'Father, the atheists?' Even the atheists. Everyone!…We must meet one another doing good. 'But I don't believe, Father, I am an atheist!' But do good: we will meet one another there." What does it mean for people who have been condemned in church councils of the past to 'be anathema', when Francis says that even God-denying atheists will all be 'there'? I haven't heard a perspective from my Catholic friends on this.
Liberals always twist anything that Vatican II or a recent pope said to make it seem that he–or the Council–agree with them.

And now he would be advised to start working out a master plan for suspension and tire upgrades, since his front-drive TT is completely stock in those respects. With all that power, it's in dire need of a stiffer suspension and stickier slicks.

Quarterback Josh Johnson is expected to return tonight when the winless Mountain Lions play the Destroyers in Virginia Beach, Va.
Johnson, who played four seasons for the San Diego Chargers and was a late cut by the 49ers this season, suffered a knee injury in the Mountain Lions' season-opening 24-20 loss to Omaha and has missed two games, losses to Virginia and Las Vegas.
Tonight's 6 p.m. United Football League game at the 17,000-seat Virginia Beach Sportsplex will be on CBS Sports Network and 105.5 FM.
In last week's 20-9 loss to Las Vegas, Tyrell Sutton rushed for 145 yards on 23 carries and J.D. Washington had 45 yards on five carries for the Mountain Lions. Quarterback Jerrod Johnson, filling in for Josh Johnson, completed 13 of 30 passes for 144 yards.
The Destroyers (1-2), who beat the Mountain Lions 37-29 two weeks ago, are led by quarterback Chris Greisen (61 of 103 for 583 yards with three touchdowns) and former NFL running back Dominic Rhodes (52 carries for 172 yards).
The Mountain Lions play at Omaha on Tuesday before returning home for a Nov. 2 game against Virginia at Raley Field.

My Room: Ruby
Greenville, SC
There is absolutely nothing gloomy about this rainstorm room! Dad-to-be Marco tells us more about this lovely space: My wife Michelle and I are having our first child (a girl) in 2-3 weeks. We wanted to create a nursery that flowed seamlessly with the rest of our house, looked and felt clean, and most importantly, wasn't pink! We decided to go with a loose theme of a rainstorm and chose to have everything in the room gray and white with pops of primary colors.
We chose gray for the walls to kind of represent a storm cloud, painted rain drops on the walls, chose some rain themed art, and used some umbrellas. My wife made the mobile from a tree branch and made rain drops, clouds, umbrellas and birds out of felt to hang from the branch. My wife also made the pillows with the appliqued birds and octopus.
While on a run near our house, I found an old crate in a dumpster which I re-purposed into the toy box. The rocker my wife found at a garage sale and recovered it with the gray fabric. It was originally a great 80's rust color.
The light we found at a little shop in downtown Greenville called, Art & Light. It's an antique spaghetti lamp. I'm sure we'll have to move it into another room once Ruby gets old enough to throw something at it. The dresser and desk were wedding presents to my grandparents when they got married over 70 years ago. They're now ours and includes a bed which we'll probably set it up once Ruby's ready.
This room has quickly turned into our favorite room in our house and we'll often find ourselves hanging out in it.
Thanks Marco, Michelle and soon-to-join-you Ruby!

Marco! How crazy that I found out on ohdeedoh that you guys are expecting!! Congrats! and this nursery is gorgeous, but I wouldn't expect any less of you guys :)
I love the theme and the umbrella hooks. Where are they from?
That's funny Gwen!
The umbrella hooks my mom found in the discount bin at Hobby Lobby. We painted them white.
Too cute!
My name is Michelle, my hubby is Mark and our daughter is Ruby :)
Love the room, the colours are beautiful.. and I'm jealous of your crate toy box!
Love the room. One piece of practical advice: you probably want to put the hamper next to the changing table ... you are going to be doing a lot of RIDICULOUSLY messy clothes-changing, and tossing that stuff across the room can be a little difficult when you're trying to keep your young gymnast from catapulting off the table. Congrats, and all best!
Love the pops of color against the grey walls. Great job!
Where's the crib from? And is that one of Annie's paintings on that shelf?
This is such a lovely room, and the crate toy box is wonderful... perfect for when Ruby starts to crawl!
Love this room. Great job!! Would you mind sharing your gray color and do you have this color any where else in your house? I'm going to changing our lvg room walls gray from a amber color and I love how you are able to put such happy colors with it.
Is the crib from DwellStudio?
Beautiful nursery!
I only wish you hadn't gone negative on the pink nursery. I love pink. It can be such a lovely and inviting color. My daughter's room was pink before she was here (and it was the guest room) and it looked beautiful with the white linens and navy accents. Why is there so much pink-hate out there? You never hear people say, "No blue!" for a boy's room.
Anyway, probably not the proper post for these thoughts (because I really do love your beautiful nursery) but the pink-hate has been irking me lately.
The room turned out so awesome! We are really excited for you guys and can't wait to meet Ruby!
Ali (& Tim)
I love it! I absolutely love rain and rain-inspired decor cuz it makes me happy, but my family thinks I'm weird. I'm totally gonna do this if I have a kid.
Is there a trick to cutting felt? I cut a hummingbird out of felt recently with regular scissors and found it difficult to get the small cuts.
The crib is the Oeuf Sparrow in gray. I have it in walnut and LOVE it.
First of all, congratulations! Your baby is so fortunate to have such stylish parents.
Secondly, I absolutely love this. BEST room I've seen. Maybe it's because rainy days are my favorite. Maybe it's because you made gray so colorful. Maybe it's also because as soon as I saw this, I became a design thief. I totally want to do this for my new room in my house. Thank you for the inspiration!!
@HACB what does it matter to you that they decided not to go pink for their baby, in their own house?
I think the colour and theme are wonderful, and great if a future brother ends up sharing the room.
I can't bear the blue/pink thing (I think it's cliched, and I like a room to be gender-ambiguous. I even baulk at pink or blue outfits for girls or boys). My boys have a grey room with yellow/black/white accents and my girls have the same grey in their room with mint green and multi-coloured accents. Works for us.
Thanks for all the great compliments and advice everyone!
The crib is the Oeuf Sparrow. Great crib. Except it does scratch easy. Also, assemble it inside the room. It doesn't fit through the door. Found that out the hard way.
The color is Sherwin Williams Mindful Gray. Gray's will either be more cool, meaning they have more blue. Or they will be warm, meaning they lean toward a clay color. We wanted to keep the room looking warm so we chose the more clay-like color.
As far as cutting felt, make sure you have small sharp scissors.

i do like the timeline - it's very similar to something i was thinking of doing. good call increasing the shields, also
Thank you guys,
@JTurner : thanks for the grammar lesson :D About the capitalization, I alreadt changed it after rdanhenry's comment :/ Btw this map is a personnal project that I just wanted to share with the community in english but I'll keep this in mind.
@Eilathen and Vorro : thanks, I was thinking going with a more detailed one at the start but I restrain myself to only out the events that might change something on the map (heraldry, borders, labels names...)
Update : second age of Kesh. Did the second map with changes (following the timeline of the first map) : a few heraldry, borders, labels changes. New icon "ruins" in key and new icons added to match the second age timeline, put in the right cartouche.
Next step will be the third age with changes on the last map. Though i'm wondering what I'll do with the bottom right cartouche : Does a third timeline makes some sense since we won't see changes on a non exustent fourth map? I don't know....
Attachment 54733
You could write something about the changes between map 2/3, but empty would look strange. I think it would have been better to start on First Map with the Timeline leading to first map, instead of what leads to Map 2. So you could have a coherent Placement of timetables.
i think a single long timeline that stretched from top to bottom would look better. i think that's what SK is saying. not sure :p
Hmm...Not sure this way of doing could have really shown the progression of time/events aplied on several maps. I thing the actual thing is pretty good since it tells some dynamic story : look one map, look what happens in the age of this map then switch to the second map, look the changes makes by the past events, look what happens in the current age then switch to the third map. But I though admit the last cartouche is kind of a problem atm.
not sure why the third one is a problem. Each age should have its own timeline, for instance age 1 is year 0 - 100. age 2 is year 100 - 200 and age 3 is year 200 - 300.
or am i missing something?
No that's true. What I meant is, since the first two timeleines does changes on the furthers maps, is it a problem to have a last timeline and can't see the changes on another map? Don't sure if I'm clear :$
Oh, so what you're saying is that the results of each timeline don't show up on the current map but the one after? What if you arranged them horizontally instead of vertically?
Yes you got it. Hmm that would mean a lot of changes on the map I'll have to think about it :/

Before Dorian, bodybuilding was a prisoner of its physical brickwork: you performed a prescribed number of sets, reps, and exercises, or you were sent home from the gym. Yates turned that concept on its head: he liberated workouts from their finite arithmetic and placed them in the infinite dimension of man's imagination and will.
So revolutionary was Yates's training that it is still regarded with skepticism by virtually all of today's bodybuilders. He was, and still is, a mythogenic creature that keeps us all in awe—the singular icon of the eponymous '90s, known as the "Yates decade," whose six Mr. Olympia titles pale in the shadow of his candescent intensity.
In his effort to articulate his eerie faculties, all he could say was, "Don't try what I do until you've had several years of training experience. Even then, don't copy what I do: You have to find what works best for you."
Do you have the intensity to get in peak physical shape? Get Dorian Yates' Age of Intensity Workout.
What Yates was trying to tell us was that he trained more to develop intensity than to develop muscle. The former is preeminent— both necessary and sufficient for the latter. But, more important, intensity is a function of mental strength in the form of concentration, willpower, and comprehension of the manifold factors that effect muscle growth.
To describe Yates's brand of intensity as "mind-muscle connection" is like trying to describe Anton Bruckner's Eighth Symphony as "notes." Yates was able to push himself further than any bodybuilder in history to explore the nature and limits of his intensity, and in so doing, he alone fully grasped one of the most basic laws of the natural order: how to produce the maximum of effects from the minimum of causes. Through every rep, his analytical mind was at work, comparing stresses and discarding those that fell short of optimum muscle production, the entire quest leading him to the ontology of training.
Distinguishing Yates's approach was an attitude not of the chest-beating troglodyte, but of a bookish nerd, whose theoretical knowledge is so thorough that his practical application yields immediate success. "I never adopted a hit-and-miss policy," he's fond of saying. Before he took his first workout, he sourced every available piece of literature he could find on bodybuilding and physiology. Then, by testing in his gym lab the theories of strength and muscle growth, he decocted two principles that revolutionized bodybuilding and gave us what is known as Yates's Heavy-Duty System: (1) maximum muscular response is obtained from the shock of brief, high-intensity training; and (2) muscular growth occurs only after recuperation.
