|Plz help me!!! 6' 3" to 4", 200 Lbs and size 11.5 to 12 boot! What's your favorite all mountain board?
*~Help Choosing 1st Board/New Board~*
Hey everyone,
Thanks for reading this. I'm looking into getting into the sport of snowboarding pretty seriously because I went this weekend and loved it. I was shreddin' pretty smooth all day with no problems and where I'm going to college there is a mountain not even 40 miles away. So I'll be spending plenty of weekends up there with a season pass next year. Anyways, I was wondering if you knowledgeable people would like to help me on my first board purchase? Now I don't have unlimited money to spend but am definately looking into a serious and quality setup. I'm between 6'3" and 6'4" tall and right now I'm 200 lbs, but probably will be ranging anywhere from 190-195 to a seriously outta shape max of 205. I wear at max a size 12 boot as this weekend I wore a 12 and there was a little wiggle room but I was cumfy all day, usually I wear an 11.5 shoe though so I'll have 2 try be4 I buy boots lol. By the way I'll be purchasing on the web for savings and convenience so I really need 2 get this as close 2 perfect my 1st time around. I'm really wanting an all-mountain board that's probably around a 7 of 10 on stiffness? I'll probably have 2 have wide board too right? But anyways, all-mountain board that's twin direction because I like switching between fakie and regular, I want the board to have fairly aggressive styling too not only for looks but I really want an agile board. I DEFINATELY want it to be able to handle alot of jumping but nothing like 50 ft of air lol, so it has to be able to hold it's own in the park. Basically, what it sounds like I want is a really stiff, wide, freestly board. I was thinking along the lines of the Burton Custom? But I don't know the variations between the customs, and I know I can get alot of bang for the buck with other brands, this board has 2 last too because I won't have limitless spending for boarding in college! Thanks everyonefor hte help and suggestions are cool with me!

LOL I loved reading this thread, my first of the morning!
Patch, you just keep on being you, and don't worry about the humans, they will figure it out. Those pesky swallows, on the other hand . . . .
Dog of the Day
Cat of the Day
Pet of the Day
Thanks for the advice.
I've figured out, however, that waking them up at 4AM by walking on them is a very effective way to get them to fill the food bowl.
I've trained one of the short humans pretty well, he gives me treats all the time, but I just wish they'd let me outside. I don't care WHAT they say about Coyotes, I know I can handle myself. After all, did they forget how I got here?
I guess I'll just have to wait for winter so I can get back to mousing inside.
The one eyed man in the kingdom of the blind wasn't king, he was stoned for seeing light.
Dear Patch,
Darling...you must tell them if they REALLY love you and REALLY do not want you to go outside they must bring the outside to you. A couple of small rodents, two or three birds of the appropriate size would be a good start...
Edwina e/s
Dear Patch,
I have an abundance of live treats to share, I'll get some on my afternoon romp today and send them right up! Would you prefer chipmunk, shrew, birdie, or a deer? Call me on the Catberry!
Purrs, Pinot
How about a chipmunk and a birdie? Maybe throw in a shrew for Trillian, even though she doesn't play well with me.
The one eyed man in the kingdom of the blind wasn't king, he was stoned for seeing light.
On the way! Sure you don't want a deer? I keep telling Mom and Dad I can take one!
I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!
Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

Dearest Patch,
I know, you got irritated when we took away your last kill.
However, that was not reason to hide that where you did.
We have a portable heater in our living room that stays behind the loveseat out of the way when not in use. The loveseat gets moved for vacuuming, etc, but the heater just sits there.
I moved it the other day as it was cool enough to need heat, but not cold enough to turn on the furnace.
Under the heater was a very dead mouse. Don't know when he put it there, but obviously we need to keep a better eye on hidey holes.
The one eyed man in the kingdom of the blind wasn't king, he was stoned for seeing light.
Yikes, RIP mousie. You did NOT pick a good home to invade!
Patch, sorry, but you should present your trophies to your hoomans, not hide them away. They do NOT get better with age, I promise!
I've Been Frosted
Maybe, just maybe if you stopped ambushing Lady every time she came in from going outside she wouldn't snarl at you when you try to curl up with her on the couch.
The one eyed man in the kingdom of the blind wasn't king, he was stoned for seeing light.
Dear Patch....apparently Lady has NO sense of humor....
Dear Humans,
If you can meow to the world about me, I'm going to have my minute as well.
Remember, laps are for cats, not keyboards.
Please remember this and correct that major shortcoming. It gets tiring to remind you of this every day.
Please open the short human's door before you go to bed. Failure to do so WILL result in early morning wakeup calls to let me in his room. Remember, I'm just as stubborn as you.
The hidey hole under the deck is MUCH safer for me than the house in case of a storm. I keep trying to tell you this, but you still refuse to let me outside. Have you forgotten how you found me? Just because you saw me one morning in the driveway doesn't mean that's how I got here or that that's the first place I saw YOU.
Thanks, and I'll be expecting improvement.
I KNOW you'll read this, after all, you've got that keyboard thing in your lap again this morning.
The one eyed man in the kingdom of the blind wasn't king, he was stoned for seeing light.
Now, Patch, inside in someone's lap is a safer place to be than the hidey hole under the deck in a storm! After all, the hides hole might be the place some other critters decide to use, and I do not think you'd enjoy sharing the space with a s*k*u*n*k - they might object to your attempts to play ...
I've Been Frosted
And in a bizarre version of feline clue.......
It was Patch
In the office
With the Spaghetti squash.

North Carolina won the women's eight and put three of its fours in the top seven Sunday at the Occoquan Chase in the team's first racing of the fall. UNC was first and ninth in the 17-boat field for the Open Women's 8+, and then took fourth, fifth, seventh and 19th in the Open Women's 4+, which included 25 boats.
"We're very pleased to come in first in the eights," UNC coach Sarah Haney said. "That goes to show our depth this year, that we were able to earn that result this early in the season.
"And our fours are another good indication of our depth. Our first two fours were only a couple of seconds apart, which I think was why our eight was so successful. To have two fours within two seconds of each other and three that close together is pretty strong, and we had our fourth four beating or competing with other teams' third or even second fours. We felt good about what the fours accomplished today."
Racing in the winning eight were coxswain Allie Davis, Jasmine Dennis, Caroline Campbell, Morgan Koder, Tianna Williams, Lindsay Newman, Emily Leidolf, Maria Santoyo and Claire Wardius.
In UNC's top four (fourth overall) were Carie Mastriani (coxswain), Dennis, Campbell, Santoyo and Leidolf. Carolina's second four (fifth overall) was coxswain Elizabeth Ayers, Koder, Williams, Newman and Wardius.
"This early in the season you go into a race with a lot of curiosity, to get a check and see where you are," Haney said. "I feel good about our results. We feel like we've accomplished a lot but we definitely have a lot of work to do and see a ton of potential in the team. We've had some key injuries and our depth will get even better once those athletes are back.
"It's a very good start for the fall, capitalizing on the depth we have. We've seen that in practice but it was really nice to see it coming together on race day."
UNC Results
Open women's 8+:
UNC took 1st (17:57.34) and 9th (19:44.86)
Open women's 4+:
UNC took 4th (20:29.04), 5th (20:31.93), 7th (21:14.65) and 19th (23:06.12)
UNC Line-ups
Varsity eight: Allie Davis (coxswain), Jasmine Dennis, Caroline Campbell, Morgan Koder, Tianna Williams, Lindsay Newman, Emily Leidolf, Maria Santoyo, Claire Wardius
Second varsity eight: Carie Mastrianni (coxswain), Katie Burger, Sarah Giles, Carolyn Dalrymple, Sarah Priest, Katherine Summerton, Lucie Kloak, Amanda Stewart, Julie Peterson
First varsity four: Carie Mastrianni (coxswain), Jasmine Dennis, Caroline Campbell, Maria Santoyo, Emily Leidolf
Second varsity four: Elizabeth Ayers (coxswain), Morgan Koder, Tianna Williams, Lindsay Newman, Claire Wardius

Betty Sheffield Memorial Garden
Quitman, GA 31643
Aside from her work with camellias, resulting in the "The Betty Sheffield" and the "Betty Sheffield Supreme" and many other "sports or mutants" of this camellia, Mrs Sheffield was equally passionate about her desire to beautify Quitman. She worked untiringly as an unpaid supervisor of the city workers to landscape and maintain the medians on the main thoroughfares in Quitman. She was an inspiration for many to beautify their property by planting trees and shrubs and, of course, camellias.

We are entering the end of an age. The days of the personal computer are almost over, as ViewSonic claimed as part of its 25th anniversary celebrations.
ViewSonic's European MD Mark Lufkin prophesised that the "PC will disappear" as part of his run-down of the company's upcoming exploits. In its place, smartphones, tablets and "zero-client" displays such as the company's latest Android-powered VSD220 smart display will rule.
We might put this down to a case of a company simply doing-down a sector in order to big-up its products, but as a prime maker of PC monitors, the dwindling sales numbers of the PC world are something ViewSonic needs to worry about.
Mark Lufkin - an unlikely harbinger of doom?
Lufkin also says that Windows 8 PCs - presumably before they disappear with a puff of smoke - will be partnered with larger screens than ever before. Citing an unnamed source within Microsoft, Lufkin said that while the average PC user at present pairs it with a 19-22in screen, the average Windows 8 PC will be used with a 27in display. That's getting on for TV-size.
There are a number of reasons why this isn't an entirely mad prediction. As the numbers of people using desktop PCs decline further, the remaining stragglers are more likely to be "power users", and the price of monitors has come down significantly in recent years. IPS-screen monitors are now available for little over £100, and plenty of 27in models sell for under £200.
Do you think PCs are really on the way out? And if so, do you harbour a strange passion for giant screens? Drop us a line in the comments.

Lawsuit: UT Health Science Center Dental School Favors 'Caucasian' Students
A student of Korean ancestry who was kicked out of the Dental School at the U.T. Health Science Center San Antonio is suing the university, claiming it gives preference to Caucasian students, 1200 WOAI news reports.
Jin Choi's lawsuit claims that 'the UT Dental School had an absolute practice that Choi, upon reason and belief, will be able to show that it discriminates against students who are non-Caucasian. In fact, the data is clear for what would otherwise be the 2012 and 2013 graduating classes, that non-Caucasian students tend to be disproportionately singled out for remediation, repeat of a school year, dismissal, and/or voluntary withdrawal as compared to their Caucasian peers.'
The lawsuit also claims that Choi is disabled, and he says the UTHSC failed to offer him the 'reasonable accommodations' for his disability as required under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
"The Dental School culture has an unfortunate vestige of the past, discrimination based upon race," Choi's lawsuit states. "A brief review of the number of students who have been brought up for dismissal, actually dismissed and/or forced to withdraw during the time period covered by Plaintiff's claims are disproportionately non-Caucasian."
A UTHSC spokesman said the University will decline to comment on pending litigation.
Choi's lawsuit relates insults he received at the hands of professors, one of whom called him 'a dog on her leash' and another who called him 'Toyota.'
Choi says he was booted out of the university with his 'academic career, good name, reputation, and integrity and honor ruined,' and with an amazing $230,000 in student loan debts.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Thanks for the info. I realize 'TAC' isn't the correct term, I'll learn the other.
Indie was spayed and tacked in April at age 13 months. It did add some $$$ to the bill and the incision was longer, but she recovered just fine. It has been some time since I had a dog spayed, so I don't remember much about recovery (and it was a Yorkie). By day 3 it was extremely hard to keep Indie quiet. She was ready to rock again. I would have had better luck trying to coax a tornado into a box. She did chew out 2 sutures by day 8 and all the rest by day 16 - so the vet had nothing to do at our follow-up. If I would have put the cone on her, she would have demolished it while I was at work - and eaten who knows how much of it in the process, so I skipped it. For me it worked out, for my sister's Husky, not so much. She chewed out the sutures and ended up back in surgery.
I, personally, have a long history of bad luck. Coupled with the fact I lost my very old Rott mix to what was probably hemangio - I wanted to try to stack the deck in our favor and not have the kids witness a very bad situation - they adore this dog. I was the one that brought it up with my vet. She said she didn't personally know of that many GSD's with torsion - but then commented that she probably just jinxed me by saying that. So I went ahead and had it done. My neighbor is a vet tech with 2 Great Danes - she thought it was a very good idea.
|I have had two GSDs bloat and nearly die, both requiring midnight runs to the emergency vet 40 minutes away, and emergency surgery at $2000+ each. After those dogs, my younger dog was spayed and gastropexied at 2 years old. I don't ever want to see another dog bloat. My friend's Great Dane died of bloat; she didn't believe me when I tried to explain how awful bloat is. Any dog I have from now on will have a preventive gastropexy, but I will wait until the dog is grown. I would not do a gastropexy on a puppy.
Stomach 'Tac', Bloat Prevention??
Yes, I searched, couldn't find what I was looking for.
Our 8 month shepherd may get spayed in the not to distant future. The Vet asked right away if we would want the stomach 'tac' at the same time? I said I'll look into it.
We already 'free feed' with a higher quality food. I'm aware of most things mentioned to try to prevent bloat, exercise caution after eating & drinking, elevated bowls(not) etc..
Right now my research has me questioning the idea of a stomach 'tac'. The Vet said it's also a longer recovery time. Then I read the sad stories about dogs that had bloat.
Is this stomach tac worth doing? I see females are a bit less likely to get bloat.
Just don't want to put her through more than we have to, without good reason. Thanks

"Helper cells" improve survival rate of transplanted stem cells, mouse study finds
"One of the bottlenecks with stem cell therapy is the survival of cells once they're put in the body — about 80 to 90 percent of them often appear to die," says Jeff Bulte, Ph.D., a professor in the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine's Institute for Cell Engineering. "We discovered it helps to put the stem cells in with some buddies that give off growth factors."
Stem cells can morph to take on any role in the body, making them theoretically useful to treat conditions ranging from type 1 diabetes (replacing insulin-producing cells in the pancreas) to heart disease (taking over for damaged heart cells). The biggest problem for transplanted stem cells, Bulte says, is that they're initially grown in a dish with ready access to oxygen, then put in the body, where levels are relatively low. "They get a shock," he says. Other research groups have had some success with acclimating cells to lower oxygen levels before transplantation; another promising strategy has been to provide the stem cells with scaffolds that give them structure and help integrate them with the host.
The research team, spearheaded by postdoctoral fellow Yajie Liang, Ph.D., wondered whether the cells' survival could also be enhanced with steady doses of a compound called basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), an "energy drink" that spurs cells to grow. They engineered cultured human and mouse cells to make greater-than-normal amounts of bFGF under the control of a drug called doxycycline (dox). Making the bFGF gene responsive to dox meant the researchers could control how much bFGF was made, Liang explains.
The team then transplanted the engineered helper cells and stem cells into mice. The stem cells had themselves been engineered to make a luminescent protein, and using a special optical instrument, the researchers could monitor the intensity of the luminescence through the animals' skin to see how many of the cells were still alive. The team gave the mice steady doses of dox to keep the bFGF flowing.
For the first three days after injection, the stem cells with helpers gave off a noticeably stronger signal than stem cells transplanted alone, Liang says, but a few days later, there was no difference between the two.
Despite the short duration of the helper cells' effect, Bulte says, the experiment shows the potential of using helper cells in this way. Perhaps the ultimate solution to keeping transplanted stem cells alive will be to use helpers that give off a cocktail of growth factors, he suggests, as well as pre-conditioning for low oxygen conditions and scaffolds. "Once the rubber hits the road, it's very important that the stem cells survive for a long time," he says.
Other authors on the paper were Yajie Liang, Louise Ågren, Agatha Lyczek and Piotr Walczak, all of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
This study was funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (grant number 2RO1 NS045062) and the Anders Wall Foundation.

Ubuntu for smartphones: Better late...?
9 comments:
To me there's hope for Canonical here if the consumer cell phone model changes. That is, if a market for affordable, contract-free, carrier-agnostic smartphones really opens up, if the Ubuntu product appears in that market, and if there's enough developer support for it, then the niche Linux user-base might gravitate towards it and perhaps also might bring with it some of the Android base. Otherwise, yeah, if I'm pondering a new handset in the AT&T store (or the Verizon store or the T-Mobile store, etc.), along with another 2-year contract, even if I'm a desktop Linux user, why would I consider leaving a mature ecosystem that I'd already been invested in?ReplyDelete
You are correct when you say that you are pessimistic. The first flaw I see in your post is that you think in Android/Apple/Microsoft/RIM terms. That's like trying to compare Linux to Microsoft. Linux is not nor does it try to imitate Microsoft. Therefore, I guess Ubuntu working also on phones (from what I understood, the same image could be installed on phones, desktops, etc.) is a path trying to bring about a different movement with different goals.ReplyDelete
Second, Ubuntu has shown to be a different kind of open-source enterprise. Before it's arrival, Linux was an OS mainly for the techies and for the skilled people. Ubuntu is organized, it is solid, it has financial backing and, despite a few hiccups here and there, it stays on goal. The success of the OS I'm using right, Mint, and which continues to wow me is greatly due to the Ubuntu despite becoming more and more independent from it. I'm not an advanced Linux user and probably will never be, but Ubuntu made it possible for someone who's even at a novice or intermediate level to use an open-source OS.
Thirdly, between Android and Apple, I prefer Android. But Android is Linux-based, like Apple's software, it is not Linux. My Android phone is constantly being attacked by malware and it kinda reminds me of Windows. One of the things I loved about Linux since I first started to dual-boot in 2008 is the security it provided. I can't wait for a phone with such a level of security.
And finally, if what Mr. Shuttleworth said will come to be, an Ubuntu phone should be able to use apps made for Android as well as HTML5-based OSes like Firefox OS and Tizen. Therefore, apps should not be a problem.
I'm not sure Ubuntu will succeed, but I'm sure it will at least bring change and will create waves that will be felt even by the giants.Replies
Glad to agree to disagree, but one thing in your comment is specially interesting...Delete
"My Android phone is constantly being attacked by malware"...
Just curious, how's that? Can you ellaborate? Are you on an ancient version of Android and sideload like crazy? There are lots of myths about Android malware that are simply not true, so I would like to know more from your experience to understand what you mean.
In any case, Ubuntu is no more secure than Android since the latter turned into version 4.x. In fact, it is less secure, it's just that it is not being attacked as much as Android. Trojan horses exist in all platforms, and Ubuntu (Linux in general) is no exception. If someone sugar coats a trojan horse enough to lure Ubuntu users to download and install the app from a custom PPA, they will get "infected", it's actually pretty easy.
Remember, system security means nothing when compared to user stupidity and/or ignorance.
I use a Galaxy S3 which came with Android 4.0. Later, I uploaded to 4.1. I only downloaded apps from the official Google store and I found viruses, spyware and other types of malware. Every time I connect to wifi I need to scan my phone because I often find "surprises".Delete
hmmmm... I am not sure if you are just trolling, but hey, I'll chime in anyways.Delete
To begin with, you cannot find viruses, because they do not exist in Android, much less after Android 4 was released, when sandboxing was implemented. Android is pseudo-Linux, which means viruses (pieces of software that can do things without the user intentionally allowing it) do not exist. Rootkits, Trojans, spyware, yes, as in all OS in history, but not viruses.
You say "other types of malware"... Like what? In all honesty, if users stick to popular apps, like they do in a vast majority of cases, then there is really no problem.
Then there is the fact that even the most pessimistic malware reports talk about negligible percentages of it coming from the Play Store, and they acknowledge that it is removed after a few hours, days at worst. You have to understand that anything that is uploaded to the Play store is first tested on a virtual machine, in order to ensure the application does what its developers officially intended it to. It's by no means a perfect method, but it removes a whole lot of threats.
In addition, the scanning thing. You do know that scans don't really scan at all, right? Because of the sandboxing feature, a so-called antivirus cannot really scan any other application because it is bounded to its own sandbox. The only thing they can do is compare the list of applications installed on your mobile to inventory put together by the software maker.
Finally, what do you mean by surprises? Reading that an application can access your contact list?... That it can read your phone status and identity?... What exactly do you mean by surprises?
Summarizing, Android 4.x is a VERY secure system and what you describe (if accurate) is more an exception than anything else. The weak spot is in older versions, specially when they side load, but then again, that's no different than using Ubuntu and installing software from an uncertified PPA, which by the way is extremely common among Ubuntu users.
Trolling? Not at all. I've been following your blog for years and I've contributed from time to time, though I'm not a big fan of KDE like you nor do I have your expertise.Delete
I have to take back the "virus" claim because, technically speaking, you're right. My antiviruses find threats and not viruses. As for "negligible" threat, I don't think so. You've reiterated twice the example of Ubuntu users using unsecured PPA, and for the second time I have to tell you that it's not my case. I've only used the Playstore.
As for surprises, every time I connect to wifi, I find new apps that installed themselves in my phone, I find new threats and my phone behaves in a weird manner. To be more specific, after installing apps from Playstore, my phone's backlight started lighting randomly without any input (which sometimes annoys my sleeping girlfriend =D ). More examples of surprises, this morning I woke up with Android telling me that two apps were something like "adware" (if I remember correctly the wording). On the bright side, it did give me choice to remove them and I did so.
So, I'll also reiterate: I never ever had this problem with Linux. Therefore, as far as I am concerned, Linux is better than pseudo-Linux.
Now, why did you take it so personally? I'm not bashing Android especially since I've already stated I prefer it to iOS. I'm simply saying that, from what I can deduce at this moment, Ubuntu for phones seems like a more attractive OS for my smartphone.
Hey, Lupi, sorry if I sounded harsh there, it was not my intention. I know you have commented before and I thank you for your following and contributions.Delete
Please understand that there is a fundamental flaw in your argument, as you are relating Android or Ubuntu security to your personal experience, which for better or worse, has absolutely no influence in the matter. In fact, you are comparing an extremely popular mobile OS to a very low profile, yet fully fledged desktop OS, which does not make much sense. You are assuming Ubuntu´s security features will translate seamlessly to the mobile World, but that is a crazy thought. If Canonical even dreams of getting standard mobile users to understand users profiles, administrators, roots, sudo, permissions and things like that, they will not last a second in the mobile market. They must water down security to the levels in other alternatives, where users are, by default, allowed to install applications, no questions asked.
However, very little of what Canonical is bringing forward with Ubuntu for smartphones is official. We have seen a few demos, but other than the fact they can run HTML5 and native apps and the UI, we know nothing about other concepts, like security. So you see, your point is, in many ways, even difficult to argue with. Nevertheless, here´s my counter.
Most recent reports of malware in Android consistenly report malware in the Play Store as a tiny sample within the thousands of entries they download and test. In all the reports I have read, Google Play malware is anywhere from 3 to 5% of the entire sample. On top of that, a big majority of that is only risky, not necessarily a threat, meaning it can be adware or applications including permissions that perhaps fall outside the scope of what they do (say a notepad app that accesses your phone status and identity). Now, the fact that they have more permissions does not mean they are using them for malicious ends, yet they are still listed as risks.
There are many articles already pointing out that the whole propaganda campaign around Android malware is just a pile of BS, AndroidCentral has explained why several times. I recommend reading this article as reference, but there are others debunking similar exaggerated malware claims:
Now, going back to your comparison, let´s see... As of 2011, Wikipedia says Ubuntu had a user base of around 20 million users Worldwide. I´ll be extremely generous and consider three times as much for 2012. That´s 60 million users in what, 8 years of existence? According to Gartner, Android gained around 105 million users in Q3 2012. Back in Google I/O this year, they were talking about 480 million users, so the figure must have got close to 700 million by now. Just by looking at the numbers, and inferring what each user base would potentially attract hackers more, we see the comparison is not that easy to make.
Long story short, consider Ubuntu desktop, in its current state, had close to 700 million users Worldwide, was a successful platform for selling apps, music, and all kinds of media, and had several application stores available for users to choose from, stores in which Canonical would have absolutely no control over content. How secure would it be? How difficult would it be for a hacker to create your typical game or boobs-wallpaper trojan horse and sneak into thousands Ubuntu users´ PCs? That´s the question you need to ask yourself when you consider Ubuntu security and compare it to Android, not if in your personal experience one has treated you better than the other.
I used to write for a mobile device news site up until a few years ago. As such, I not only saw the fall of once dominating mobile phone firms (RIM, Palm), but I even saw attempts to penetrate the smartphone market that were pretty much dead before they started (anyone remember Microsoft Kin?)ReplyDelete
The mobile phone market is extremely unfriendly. Even THAT is an understatement. As Chema said, the main goal of the major service providers in the US is money, and open source doesn't mix well with that ideology.
But not only that; mobile phones are also considered a status symbol, even moreso since the introduction of the iPhone. If you have an iPhone or high-end Android, you're considered "cool". It's like a fashion accessory, and the brand name is important to consumers, as are features and power. So in comes a device with software from a company that no one BUT Linux-familiar people will recognize (at least in the US). Not only will it have to prove itself worthy to carriers, but to buyers as well (which is ultimately a harder goal, speaking as a programmer).
Ubuntu and Android...for the FUTURE!ReplyDelete

A driver suspected of shooting at other vehicles on Legacy Highway was arrested Wednesday by Davis County deputies in Farmington after leading officers on a car chase that ended in a shootout, according to police.
During a media briefing Wednesday night, Farmington police Chief Wayne Hansen said a man in a gray car was firing at a white pickup on the highway near Farmington at about 5 p.m. The shots were reported by multiple people to 911 dispatchers, which prompted officers to respond to the area. Hansen said he did not believe the people in the pickup were injured. The suspect, who was not named, exited onto Park Lane, where he was met by two Davis County sheriff's deputies in their cruisers, Hansen said.
A chase then ensued, ending at 650 W. State St., where the deputies and the suspect exchanged gunfire. Hansen said that the suspect sustained "superficial" injuries and may not have even been shot. He was taken to the hospital and was cooperating with investigators, Hansen said. The man still was not booked into jail, but Hansen said that an arrest was pending.
Police did not release the suspect's name but described him as a 37-year-old Hispanic man who was driving a rental car with Texas plates. Hansen said it appeared that man was also suspected of firing at a white pickup from a car described as a 2006 or later Toyota Camry, also with Texas plates, on I-215 Tuesday afternoon. No one was injured in that shooting.
"Those shootings do appear to be related," Hansen said.
Utah Highway Patrol Cpl. Todd Johnson said his agency, which investigated the Tuesday shooting, is waiting to hear more information about the Farmington incident but could not confirm whether there was any connection. Johnson said earlier Wednesday that the I-215 shooting did appear to be similar to another shooting being investigated by Salt Lake City police in which someone in a dark-colored Toyota reportedly fired at four people in a car traveling on 1200 West near 650 North on Saturday night. No one was injured in that shooting.
The Salt Lake Tribune will provide more information as details become available.

I picked up Market-based Management by Dr. Roger Best (see my reading list), a textbook of the "traditional" approach to customer-centric marketing. I'm looking into the ideas on how companies look at customer focus, satisfaction, loyalty, and retention. The processes are probably very different but online communities of all forms also face some of these same issues and the existing ideas and metrics may give insight into similar metrics from the community view.
There are some very different views here though:
- product markets are much more well-defined and often well tracked by industry watchers, analysts and support organizations, and therefore may have access to industry-wide data/metrics
- a product market can be easily measured in a fairly universal way in terms of dollars (or other currency denominations), whereas communities don't necessarily have purchase transactions or a common currency system
- community value and contributions are by definition more subjective according to the perceived value by the community at that point in time.
- communities tend to start off much more lightweight and sometimes may even prefer to stay that way, versus the goal of most product markets is to grow (revenue, marketshare, customers or other quantifiable items)
Still there are many parallel concepts that can be borrowed. A few of the many examples:
- customer "terrorists" - as this book describes it, where current or former customers who are dissatisfied with the product can turn against the producer. This parallel exists directly in most communities.
- customer loyalty - one measure of community success is through developing a loyal following, whatever that process and metric may be. This concept is broken down into customer satisfaction, customer retention, and customer recommendation, all of which are also important to a community.
Beyond just the basic measurement of each community, there are the issues of measuring the effectiveness of your community program itself. The parallel is measuring the effectiveness of the marketing program or strategy separately of the end-results driven. This means understanding market share, awareness, availability, etc.
The reality is that even with the decades of having online communities we really have not reached a significant level of sophistication in measuring online communities. Perhaps things needed to happen to emphasize that such as the rise of social software and Web 2.0, the acknowledgment of the long-tail phenomenon, the improvement of web metrics collection tools, and the effects of influencers online.
I see this as something entirely different than the success of the online ad marketing, which everyone can see is a multi-billion dollar opportunity. With online ads, some of the traditional ideas and methods still work, and even some of the traditional metrics may apply. However, a community, where the value comes from the knowledge economy, is likely quite different than a currency-based economy.
With growing interest in online communities as basis of support for real-world products and offerings, business & technology development, market reach and awareness, I think this is a large field waiting to be explored.

Update: Springboard has recently undergone a complete rewrite. It's now now much more powerful, flexible and Python (therefore cool). Checkout the Springboard GitHub page for more info.
It also means that this post is now largely irrelevant, so don't trust it – trust the README.
I love HTML5 Boilerplate and use it a lot as a basis for web projects. Sometimes however, I find it still does a little bit too much for my needs and I end up removing a lot before I can get started.
Most importantly for me though, it still currently doesn't support building with Google Closure Compiler which I tend to use both for it's advanced code optimisations and for coding better Object-Oriented JavaScript (not to mention generating JavaScript documentation from the very same comments I write for the compiler).
So What's Springboard Then?
Springboard is an ultra minimal JavaScript / CSS and HTML project template (or springboard).
It features a very useful ANT build file which, among other things, can:
- Refactor template files to match your project's namespace so you're ready to code in seconds
- Combine JavaScript and CSS libraries to reduce HTTP requests
- Compile JavaScript using the Google Closure Compiler (simple or advanced)
- Minify CSS using the YUI Compressor
- Generate JavaScript documentation using the JSDoc Toolkit
- Sanitize HTML and inject variables at compile time
Also included is a simple JavaScript Model-View-Controller (MVC) template (based on Alex Netkachov's) which can optionally be used as a basis for your project.
Hopefully No fluff – just the very basics you need to get a project or experiment started.

12 Days of Holiday Cheer Giveaway Day 10: Lancome Festive Soirée Gift in Classic
Holiday Cheer Giveaway Fail! I was so busy yesterday I just realized that Day 9 of the Giveaway didn't publish! Let me get back to that one and I'll try it again after I get Day 10 up so I don't get myself too confused.
Winner Announcement for Days 7 and 8: The winner (via Random.org) of Day 7 is JenD! The Question of the Day was Do you enjoy the wrapping phase of the whole gift-giving experience? Jen responded I am not crazy about the wrapping, i am TERRIBLE at it! She will receive the Nicole by OPI Merry Minis set. The winner of Day 8 is Rachel. She answered the Question of the Day, which was Tell us a favorite or an eventful Christmas/Holiday memory--something that stands out from other years past, with When I was six years old, I really, really wanted a Felicity doll (American Girl dolls). I prayed and prayed for one. My parents couldn't afford it, but an aunt randomly decided to buy us a gift that year. Christmas morning, God answered my prayers and she was under the tree! Her prize will be the the celebrity fragrance gift sets from Coty.
Day 10 of our 12 Days of Holiday Cheer Giveaway features something that I just love, and the minute I saw it, I knew I had to have one. I actually picked up both of the colors they had available, Classic, and a purple-themed one called Sulty. I thought it would make a great prize, so I picked up a third one for the giveaway! This is the Lancome Festive Soirée Gift, which is currently available at my Lancome counter. I saw it in the Carson's sale paper this week, but I don't see it on their site, nor do I see it available anywhere else. I'm not sure if it's exclusive to Carson's, but it's $34.50 with any Lancome purchase. I've recently rediscovered Lancome, and I'm loving some of their skin care and color cosmetics, so I had no problem deciding on some items to meet their "with any Lancome purchase" criteria! Here's a reminder of the rules: Just answer the day's question (below) and leave your eMail in the comments (or check back to see if you've won if you don't feel comfortable leaving your address. You can then eMail me at email@example.com). U.S. residents only, Followers only (includes Google Friend Connect, subscribers, social media followers).
Happy Holidays, from me, to you!
The photo above is the cover of the box, but I wanted to take another photo of the actual products, mainly to show you the bag. My photo below comes nowhere near capturing how pretty it is. I've been looking for a small sparkly bag for a couple of Holiday parties I have coming up, so this is perfect. It's a dark charcoal grey that boasts some major sparkle! It looks black or grey, depending on the light. There's a lot of room in it for a little clutch, so I love the bag as much as the products.
The products in the Classic color selection include a mini bottle of their new La vie est belle Eau de Parfum (0.14 fl. oz), which I love the smell of, Vernis in Love nail lacquer in Madame Tulipe (0.21 fl. oz.), Color Design Sensational Effects Lipcolor in Red Stiletto (full sized), Color Design 5 Shadow & Liner Palette in Taupe Craze (these are smaller than their standard Color Design palettes), and Hypnose Drama Mascara in Excessive Black (0.135 fl. oz.).
Here's a closer look at the Color Design 5 Shadow & Liner Palette...sparkly taupes, golds and browns. My collection of these in the full-sized version is growing because they keep introducing such pretty shades, and I like how nicely they apply and wear. I haven't swatched the lip stick yet, but it looks very glamorous and vibrant--a blue-based red, my favorite! The nail color is described as a dark bordeaux red, and it looks like it could have a jelly finish.
12 Days of Holiday Cheer Question Day 10: Holiday parties...love 'em, or not so much?
My Answer: Well, I would say I mostly enjoy them. There's one we go to every year that is always a class act and very enjoyable. It's always at a different restaurant, and the host goes all out with every aspect of it. It's work-related for my husband, but it's a very fun group of people. There are some other parties that usually make for good stories later and embarassing pictures show up on social media sites to confirm those stories...none of myself that I've ever seen though! Let's just say we've gotten more selective about which ones we attend. So yes, some parties are fun and I look forward to them, while some of the other gatherings I could probably skip and not feel like I missed too much.
(note: I personally celebrate the Christmas Holiday, but I hope my questions are able to be interpreted for whatever Holiday you celebrate, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, etc.).
Each day's giveaway will be open for 48 hours. I know some of you subscribe via eMail and don't receive posts until a day or two later. Winners will be announced approximately 48 hours after each giveaway is posted.

If it's a party with friends, I love 'em. They're a great excuse to wear bright and shiny clothes and holiday novelty jewelry that might err on the side of tacky at other times of the year - but is perfect during the holidays.ReplyDelete
Work holiday parties....not so much. They're always awkward faux-social occasions.

I'm pretty introverted, so I have to force myself to go to holiday parties, especially if the host is an acquaintance more than a friend. But usually I'm glad I went!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the giveaway!
grapeape1010 at msn dot com
I enjoy then if it's with friends and family. But if it's an acquaintance, then it's more complicated because I am extremely shy :/ReplyDelete
It depends on the type of holiday party and who will be there.ReplyDelete

I don't like parties much at all, but small get togethers with friends or family are nice.ReplyDelete
For the most part I love holiday parties. Sometimes I can live without work and family parties, but holiday celebrations with friends are always a great time.ReplyDelete
totally depends on the type of holiday party. but overall, i say yes! fun to wear something sparkly, or perhaps even ugly (sweater parties) and get together with friends :)ReplyDelete
I like Christmas parties! I always enjoy dressing up for them and wearing pretty shoes :)ReplyDelete

I love them! I love getting all dolled up and being a social butterfly. :)ReplyDelete
Not really a fan. Scrooge much? Haha. :)ReplyDelete

Can't say much about them- we spend holidays with family and have never been to a holiday party.ReplyDelete

I'm not a big fan of holiday parties. I prefer to be with family.ReplyDelete

Oh, thanks for the giveaway! I love holiday parties...when I know everyone. I'm not at all good at socializing in large groups of people I don't know!ReplyDelete
Holiday parties....hmmmmm. I haven't been to one in a few years. I enjoyed them when I was younger because I got to dress up and I loved the company. Now I'm just kind of bad at the small talk. But if there's cookies, count me in! ;) lolReplyDelete
Can't say I often go to holiday parties but I don't think I'd mind going to one too much. Could be fun!ReplyDelete
A lot depends on the crowd that's going to be there. If it's loaded with people I don't know then my shy side comes out and I don't enjoy them. But if I'll know a good portion of the people then it's fun.ReplyDelete
I love parties. The holidays are a great excuse to eat, drink, socialize, and have fun!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the amazing giveaway!
lisa.welding [at] gmail.com
I love holiday parties if they involve friends. I don't care for the usual office holiday parties though.ReplyDelete
They're okay but it matters who is there and who I'm with :) Thanks for the giveaway!ReplyDelete
I usually love the holiday parties I have with my friends, but I'm not a big friend of those family holiday parties with tons of relatives that I hardly know. It's okay, but not my favorite! Anyways, great giveaway!!ReplyDelete
As a rule, I really enjoy going to parties. It is usually a time to link up with friends you might otherwise not see very often. I love to dress up and do the make-up and hair thing. Of course I always have a perfume I like to wear. Another thing that is fun is trying out all the different foods. I love to go to theme parties or Pot-luck dinners. It is so fun to try new recipes to bring.ReplyDelete
I enjoy the parties. I enjoy eating cookies and sweets and white elephant gift exchanges where you get to steal gifts!ReplyDelete
With family and friends, I enjoy holiday parties. I'm painfully shy, so if it's a party with a large group of people I mostly don't know, I'm often filled with dread and anxiety at the thought!ReplyDelete
m2hnj25 at gmail dot com
It depends upon the party. I love holiday parties with my extended family, but office parties not so much.ReplyDelete
I like them and usually go. Unfortunatly I have to miss mine this year due to travel.ReplyDelete
love parties...it's the planning part that gets me down...especially when i'm the only one planning them year after year. :PReplyDelete
not really, unless with close family.ReplyDelete
I usually don't like them, I do however love the food.ReplyDelete
I'm not much for parties. I'd rather have tiny intimate gatherings with a few friends or close family.ReplyDelete
I LOVE Holiday parties! I love any reason to get all dolled up and socialize and meet new people :)ReplyDelete
I always go to holiday parties, but I don't always love them. I love the getting dressed up all festive like, and seeing friends, but I have never been able to eat at holiday parties because of food allergies, and its never fun to be hit on by the friend's uncle who's had a bit too much eggnog.ReplyDelete
poezlenore [at] aol [dot] com
I honestly dont care for parties that much, I feel obligated to go every year and I'd rather do something different every year!ReplyDelete
Feel free to comment or just say hello! While I don't always have time to respond to each comment, I do read and appreciate all of them.

Then Jesus told his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul? For the Son of Man is going to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay each person according to what he has done.

I am so sad and so at a loss for words right now, but I have a very delicate prayer request. It is for one of my dearest friends Lakayia (kia). She is at the hospital by her Mom's side. The situation does not look good, but it is all in Jesus' hands. Please help me, to pray for her and her mom at this trying time as she struggles to keep it together for her mom and the rest of her family. Also, pray for the extended family has given up and think that it is the final days for my friend's mom. At this point, we do not know what the Lord has in stored.
Her mom is such an amazing mom and grand mom. The family is so connected. Her daughter and mom is my friend's total all, and I know she is not ready for any disappointing news. Jesus, I faithfully pray for a miracle, today. I really do not have the words to explain what she has been going thru but she been there with her mom through thick & thin. ALWAYS and I KNOW, THE LORD WILL RICHLY BLESS her with beautiful LONG LIFE. She is an amazingly strong and independent, with a beautiful fun loving, compassionate heart.
Her mom is definitely very proud of her as I am too… The lord is looking down and He is happy for the woman. The Mom and the friend that she is, and will continue to be to my family and I. May He always be there for them no matter what the outcome. I do not know how I'd feel, or what I would do, or say if it was my mom. Honestly, I know I would ask for prayer and a miracle. So friends, I ask you to help me, -Please-, to pray for her to be strong and for the Lord to keep His arms wrapped tightly around her & the Family. Prayer for his will for her & her mom. Amen!
Thank you for taking time to read my Prayer Request, I truly appreciate the time you have taken out of your day…. God Bless you!

Julia Angstenberger Communications Intern Weleda North America
My love for Weleda products, and the positive experiences I've gathered with the company over the years, have brought me here, to Palisades, NY. I'm a German university student in my last throes; my focus is on American and Scandinavian studies, as well as cultural anthropology. Before finishing my studies next year, I wanted to gain some more experiences abroad, and I was excited to get the chance to work at Weleda North America, as an intern in the Communications department. I am looking forward to learning more about the world of Weleda and to blogging my experiences and sharing them with the Weleda Community.
Why Weleda? My fascination for the company has grown ever since I was a PR/Communications intern at Weleda Germany in 2006. I felt right away that Weleda is more than a business—it's also a way of life. To me, it's about people and our connection to nature—a relationship I think many of us are finding it harder to cultivate nowadays.
What fascinates me so much about Weleda is that it's modern and traditional at the same time. In Germany, Weleda products have a long history and have always stood for high quality. More than that, I would even say they create a feeling of nostalgia for many Germans. When I mention to people there that I work for Weleda, their eyes begin to shine and they immediately start telling me all about their favorite products and how Weleda has been part of their family "forever." It makes you feel so good!
As for me, my personal well-being favorites are the Iris Cleansing Lotion and, especially in the fall, the Sea Buckthorn Body Lotion and the Everon Lip Balm. What are yours?

I came down with the worst case of eczema in my life about 2 and a halfs years ago. My entire body looked like I was a burn victim. I'm still recovering. Yeast caused my ezcema. I practically bathed in coconut oil and swear by quality versions of it. For my lips coconut oil didn't work. They were swollen and blackened by the ezcema. The ONLY THING that HEALED MY LIPS WAS THIS BALM. I use it now for prevention. Please make a hand and or body version. It saved my skin naturally. I stopped ALL STEROIDS because they started to thin my skin and wanted to heal with natural products . I truly believe in this product. Thank you.
This product is unbelievable. While shopping at Sprouts, I often check the little basket for free samples because they prove to be excellent. This little sample pack is quintessential for dry feet, hands, elbows, etc. Immediately, I instructed my son to drop by the store and purchase the 2.5 oz today. On October 2, 2016, a tall and very distinguished gentleman sat beside me in Sunday school asking, "Do you have any lotion in my purse." He looked like a professional basketball player, but I am too polished to asked a gentleman of his professional status not knowing for sure. He was far too handsome and dapper. I really desired to tell him, "Hold on, I'll be right back with that lotion." A lady walked in taking a seat to my immediate left; I asked her for her lotion and gave it to him. I hope that count for something. [Smile] Anyway, I left my lotion in the car by mistake. I wished I had a few packs of these samples to give him one. He now frequent my Sunday school class and I am simply mesmerized at his presence. You should hear the sound of his voice. You know what will be in my purse from now on. Yes, "Weleda Skin Food!" If I should marry him [smiling], it shall, likewise be in our estate in each lavatory especially in the guests lavatory. Excellent product!
This cuticle pen is amazing! I have very dry cuticles due to age and chemo. This has softened my hands, and especially helped my feet. Thank you so much for a very useful and good product!
