But it doesn't feel broken to me.Olivia Donatelli's dream of a "normal" life shattered when her son, Anthony, was diagnosed with autism at age three. He didn't speak. He hated to be touched. He almost never made eye contact. And just as Olivia was starting to realize that happiness and autism could coexist, Anthony died.Now she's alone in a cottage on Nantucket, separated from her husband, desperate to understand the meaning of her son's short life, when a chance encounter with another woman facing her own loss brings Anthony alive again for Olivia in a most unexpected way. In a piercing story about motherhood, autism, and love, Lisa Genova offers us two unforgettable women on the verge of change who discover the small but exuberant voice that helps them both find the answers they need.

Since this picture, we are much much older, we have a 5 yr old and 7 yr old now! Both made in Hawaii. We had been coming to Hawaii for 7 years before moving here full time with our family a few years ago.
Dana purchased this house in 2007
We love being close to the beach. The area is very kid friendly. We can walk to the beach in 5 minutes and when the kids get tired, be back home quickly. Magic Sands beach is a good family beach.
The house is very open and airy. It has a great Hawaiian feel.
Amazing stay. The house is really close to a sandy beach. The baby gear was very helpful - especially the two strollers. Kitchen is well equipped and we ate almost all of our meals here. Good for a big family get-togethers. Hosts were very helpful and responsive to a any questions we had.
VRBO initial survey question is not fair or satisfactory. Now onto the review. We'll try to be balanced in our comments. Good location, with easy access to shopping plus beaches. Also good access to highways for tours or excursions. Unique home plan with for us. We were a group of 8 with 2 kids 4 and under. Room to keep everyone happy. Tons of beach toys were made available for use by the guests. The hosts Dana and Joe were super helpful. We had a challenge with hot water and one text message had Joe promptly fixing the issue. They provided an info package that was very helpful. The ONLY thing that held us back from giving a higher rating was in our opinion, the property could a bit of a freshening up as well as a deep cleaning. To be fair this was our 1st trip to the big island so we may be ignorant to what one must pay to get "fresh and clean or like new". The place was not dirty but a good carpet and upholstery clean would be an assett in our groups' opinion. Thanks for your hospitality.
This house worked perfectly for our group of eight--my parents, brother, my husband and me, our two adult kids, and our son's girlfriend. There is a full "house" on the upper floor with a nice bedroom and bathroom, and then all of the other rooms are almost like motel rooms. Each has its own bathroom, is separate from the other rooms, and can be locked. We spent most of our time there in the very large screened porch that had a table that could seat at least ten, plus there were a few other chairs.
The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because there were a few toilet overflowing issues, but this may just be how the plumbing is everywhere there. None of it was a big problem.
We wished we had been a little closer to a beach and town sometimes, but it is in a fairly convenient location. It is a 10-15 minute drive to Kailua-Kona downtown, depending on traffic. There are a couple beaches fairly nearby, but they always seemed crowded, and for our group they weren't really walking distance. We branched out and found some fabulous beaches both north and south on the west coast.
I highly recommend a family getaway here!
The house is designed to satisfy different requirement, from one family to 15 persons group, like us. It is closed to the Magic Sands Beach, whose sands are soft and white. We enjoyed staying at the house. It was easy to enter and Dana and Joe were ready to offer their help. Thanks for give us 1 more hours to collect our stuffs. They are really nice!
We recently spent a week in this Kailua-Kona house with 18 people - 9 adults and 9 kids ranging in age from 3 months to 12 years old. The location is great, right in the heart of everything - and there was plenty of space for everyone to hang out alone or together. The inside living room has a huge couch (big enough for 9 children plus a couple of adults!) and the outside dining table in the screened in porch was a good place for communal meals. The owners were so great and very responsive to emails. They were helpful in making sure we had everything we needed for our stay, including two pack and plays, a high chair, lifejackets for children.
The house was well stocked with spices in the kitchen and fridge, beach toys (and a whole bucket of water shoes), beach towels.
A few things you should know, especially if traveling with a wide age range of people like we were:
1. The six bedrooms are separated on two floors with three rooms on each floor. The bedrooms on the ground floor can only be accessed from an outside door, which can be a concern if you have little ones. Two of the three bedrooms upstairs are also accessed by external doors, but at least these are within the lockable screened-in-porch area. There is only one bedroom that adjoins the kitchen/living room.
2. Though there are screens on the windows there is no glass, which makes sound an issue if you have people getting up and going to sleep at different times. The upstairs back bedrooms back on to the pool so any late or early pool noise would be an issue if someone is sleeping. Also, the bedroom attached to the upstairs living room is completely open at the top so absolutely not soundproof at all.
3. The back bedrooms can get really hot, even with all fans going. They don't get access to the night time breeze like the front bedrooms do.
4. The pool is great for kids because it's shallow, but for adults consider it more of a dip pool.
5. The house is in a great location however between Kahalu'u Beach and Magic Sands. But I would not consider it walking distance to Kahalu'u with kids, and with toddlers/preschoolers we didn't walk to Magic Sands either...not with all our beach gear in tow!
Overall, we had a great week on the Big Island. There was so much to see and do we couldn't get it all in. The night manta snorkel/dive is a must do. We also chartered a boat for a morning with the dolphins/snorkeling. Mahalo!!
My family of 18 had the time of our lives. The house met all of our needs and the owners are lovely. The location of the house is close to beaches, restaurants, and recreation.

The room was clean and the staff friendly but be warned, the hotel is right next to a railway line which can be noisy - when I asked to change rooms I was told the hotel was booked out but they were helpful in offering earplugs.
Upon viewing the evacuation plan which has the size of the rooms displayed on the back of the door, we had the smallest room on level 3 - no elevators. I was disappointed as I had booked 5 months in advance. The location is lousy with a 30 minute walk to the nearest grocery shop. There is NOTHING in the immediate area.
Staff come and go into your room at any time to empty your bin or check for leaks so I didn't feel our stuff was safe, we had a private room with our own bath/toilet (very tiny). I would not recommend really if staying in NYC.

The CIA employs individuals of diverse backgrounds with varying experience and education. While foreign languages are an asset in many different fields, from law to investigations and analysis, the CIA particularly targets applicants with certain language skills and proficiency.
Foreign Language Instructors
CIA agents and clandestine employees often need language skills to work on assignment in foreign countries. The CIA employs language instructors who have mastered foreign languages and also possess teaching skills. According to the CIA website, language instructors of Arabic, Mandarin, Pashto, French, German, Greek, Italian, Korean, Farsi, Portuguese, Croatian, Spanish and Turkish are in demand. But the jobs are competitive. They require 2 to 5 years of teaching experience, plus native command of the language. Applicants should also be familiar with the culture, history, politics and customs of the countries of their foreign language so as to adequately provide education to CIA employees.
NCS Language Officers
The National Clandestine Service, or NCS, is a division of the CIA that employs individuals to live and work overseas, acting as satellite assets for the agency. While the NCS has many different jobs to fill abroad, NCS Language Officers provide translation and interpretive support the agency's needs in a particular region or country. Arabic, Chinese, Dari, Korean, Pashto, Farsi, Russian and Somali are top languages to learn to be in demand for this position.
Sign Language Interpreter
The CIA employs sign language interpreters to support its equal opportunity compliance and assist with interpreting to and from employees and CIA assets who use the language. Heavy in travel, the job takes the interpreter wherever needs arise. Candidates must be ASL-certified interpreters, and must be willing to travel overseas if needed.
Open Source Officer
Open Source Officers analyze media trends and follow news hubs around the globe in support of CIA intelligence. Not only do Open Source Officers need excellent written English skills to communicate verbally and in written form, but they also need expertise and language proficiency in the foreign region of their concentration. Languages most in demand for this job are Turkish, Farsi, Kurdish, Hebrew, Somali, Arabic, Russian, Uzbek, Ukrainian, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Hindi, Urdu, Dari, and Pashtu.

6 years later....My First E46 M3
Well my love affair with this car is now fulfilled. Got 31 mpg highway coming back from the dealer, my 325 gets about 34-35 high way, not too bad for twice the power :thumbsup: Seriously tho, my life might be complete.
2003.5 with 70k miles 6MT
Now, I must replace or zip tie my passenger side window regulator and fix my drivers side mirror glass, as it rattles past 40MPH. :facepalm:
Not bad if you got a good price considering the miles.
After many years of putting it off to be able to own a track bike and do track days. I think I'm gonna get one this year and out the bike on hold. We'll see tho.
Beautiful car :thumbup:
I have a few questions because I'm also looking to buy an e46 M3.
How long did you shop around for this car? What was the price range for the ones you were interested in?
Were you trying to avoid buying a modded M3? I found a few close to me but some were heavily modded, I'd rather buy close to stock.
Congratulations! I've owned my E46 M3 since brand new 11 years ago. If you continue to maintain your E46 M3, it will treat you very well.
Enjoy it and have fun! :thumbup:
Their prices are a bit higher than the average used M3 out there. Knowing that they only buy/sell top condition cars may be worth it to you. This is pretty much as close as you're going to get to buying a "like brand new" used E46 M3.
I paid $19k for the car, it was garage kept and in the past 2 years only 4k miles have been put on it. It was traded in along with an X5 to an Tysons Corner Audi in NOVA. I feel like I got a good deal, but there are several small flaws, I didn't have much maintenance history, but the car spoke for it's self the previous owner had 9 cars (he was in his mid-sixities so it was responsibly driven and a one owner) so money wasn't much of an issue and the dealer said he was the type of guy who just said okay if they wanted to replace something (not sure how true that is but it came with a brand new clutch before the trade in). The things I've noticed with the car is the rearview mirror no long auto dims it's just kind of a gray brown color and you can see fine with it ($100 fix), the window regulator in the passenger side door needs the zip tie DIY so free fix there. The center console it's in the best shape, just things like that, it handles like a dream. Also, the drivers side mirror shakes at high speeds so I have to figure that out.
I was looking to spend no more than $25k on the car, but after taxes and temp tags it came out just over $22k so I'm extremely happy from that stand point. Now I just need to get my college furniture and crap out one side of the garage so it will fit :)
Cool. Thanks for the response.
I'm in no rush at all, I have a car that runs great and if I happen to find one I like I'll buy it. I'm really in love with the e46 M's... best body style in my opinion.
This was only my second car purchase (I'm 23 and have been driving my 325ci for the last 6 years doing all the maintenance myself). I taught my self a lot about BMWs and screwed a lot of things up the first time on my 325, but then got it right the second time, parts a were much cheaper than for the 325, definitely a great learning experience. Without owning the 325 and doing all the work myself, there is no way I could afford this car other wise. I can afford all the maintenance parts but not the labor, hopefully I'll have as much fun with this car as my other (Still trying to talk my parents into letting me keep two cars...I've probably spent 100+ hours under that 325, it's hard to let go.
Sorry for my rambling, and good luck with your search, I found craigslist the best place to look for cars, usually people list them in hopes of a quick sale or because they are in financial difficulty and must sell the car.
Beautiful car bro the color suit it's style.. I wish I can get E46 M3; Unfortunately I'm currently stuck with my E46 323i sedan that is heavily modded; I want to move on to something else but it is so hard to let go a good car )= how do you people manage to sell your babies after bumping crap loads of money into it and jump into something new ?? my head is such in a jam right now :s
I wanted to buy a 330 CI , a friend said why don't you wait and buy the the M in the end even if you don't do any mods you still have a better car , that's what I did , I love the car
Great looking car. Looks like you've already started with a few exterior mods. What type of corners are those? I'm thinking about ordering some smoked crystal ones from Khoalty soon.
Nice ride........... Nice color.............. I drive the same one!!!! ;-)
1 Attachment(s)
Looks familiar. Oh yeah, just like mine. And I also just baught it. Couldnt b happier. I paid a bit more but has 48k. Also I drove for 11 hours to get it. Congrats
Nice ride...
Very nice. I bought my Steel Gray 03SMG in November n I absolutely love it. Great step up from my 330ci. I see that u r in Illinois. I work in Greatlakes, live in Kenosha. Where about r u?
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Bimmer App
Awesome color, congrats!
Enjoy it
congrats, just like mine too
You did not get 31 mpg :facepalm: you've got to be mistaken. You need to recalc.
Who cares about mpg's. Drive the car...fill it up...drive it harder. :thumbsup:

This is a very clean and modern Ibis, with stylish rooms and bar. Food is normal Ibis/Novotel fare - nothing special but not bad in any way. Service is friendly and efficient.
A few things I didn't like:
No hot breakfast, not even if you pay a premium. I really look forward to a big breakfast and there's only so much toast you can take to plug the gap.
Wifi is on a tiered basis. While it's only £3 for the full-speed version, I resent paying that when many other hotels offer it completely free of charge, and you will need the full speed version for any kind of VPN access.
Cheap beer though for London.

The grills are fired up, and the sweet smell of barbecued chicken is wafting across the White House grounds.
A high school marching band is on Pennsylvania Avenue performing Happy Birthday for President Obama.
It's just about party time at the White House.
As Obama celebrates number 50, the Associated Press reports:
Senior members of Obama's staff will toast the president in the Blue Room of the White House Thursday afternoon.
At night, he'll celebrate with family and friends, including some coming in from his hometown of Chicago, then cap the festivities with a weekend trip to Camp David, the presidential retreat in Maryland.
An administration official said the Obamas will pay for the president's birthday party at the White House.
Also, first lady Michelle Obama has sent supporters an e-mail asking them to sign an Internet birthday card for the president.
Every day, I see Barack make choices he knows will affect every American family," Obama wrote. "That's no small task for anyone -- and more proof that he's earning every last one of those gray hairs."
President Obama got an early start last night with a string of campaign events in Chicago.
"I can't think of a better group of folks to spend my birthday with," Obama said during a video teleconference linking more than 1,000 house parties across the country.
At a following fundraiser, Obama noted that daughter Malia "is coming home from camp tomorrow just for her daddy's birthday, and I'm very happy about that."
And at another fundraiser, Obama made an obligatory old age joke, one with an amusing political twist:
It's true that I turn 50 tomorrow -- which means that by the time I wake up, I'll have an e-mail from AARP asking me to call President Obama and tell him to protect Medicare.
Of course, not everybody is in the celebratory spirit.
Republican Party chairman Reince Priebus sent GOP backers an e-mail saying, "President Obama was back in Chicago last night celebrating his 50th birthday with a few of his well-heeled liberal friends -- the kind of leftist elites who can afford to shell out $35,800 to attend a party that bolsters the president's campaign coffers."
Even at his advanced age, Obama remains the nation's fifth-youngest president, trailing Theodore Roosevelt, John Kennedy, Bill Clinton and Ulysses S. Grant.
David's journalism career spans three decades, including coverage of five presidential elections, the Oklahoma City bombing, the 2000 Florida presidential recount and the 9/11 terrorist attacks. He has covered the White House for USA TODAY since 2005. His interests include history, politics, books, movies and college football -- not necessarily in that order. More about David

|RE: when should classes contain other objects?
|Fri, 14 Mar 2003 00:09:20 GMT
Heather, It's hard to say if there is a right or wrong approach, but I'll let you know what I do and why. When deciding on an implementation, keep in mind the following factors and what priority they have: readability, maintainability, development time, operational speed, memory efficiency. For every entity in my database that I will use in my application, I create a corresponding class which maps directly to the able; I do have classes contain other objects. In addition to this, I also make a class for every unique result set that will be returned to the application. This has the advantage of being very efficient on memory because only fields that are used in the query will be in the object. For example, if I wanted a list of students and their courses, I would create a result set object with the studentname, and coursename. The alternative is to fully instantiate your "entity" objects and have some fields not initialized or all fields initialized even though you're not using them. In the case you provided, I probably would not create a "student_course_section" class because that class would never be used directly in the application. On the negative side, it requires more code to be written. If your schema changes, it will involve more changes as well. However, in my humble opinion, this is a highly efficient way dealing with database entities result sets. If you have any questions, please let me know.

UPDATE: Toys R Us actually has this same set on sale for $29.99, plus you can get 7% cashback from Ebates (as of the time I write this), so just $27.89 over there! (Thanks Collin!)
I stumbled on a great deal on Lincoln Logs over at Staples.com! I was looking at electronics and when I saw this price it seemed really low, so I checked Amazon's price. They list this item for $64.99 and currently have it on sale for $49.98, so this Staples deal is phenomenal!
LINCOLN LOGS FORT BUILDING SET – on sale $32.99 (reg. price $64.62!)
To get the best deal, make sure you sign up or log in at Ebates OR sign up or log in at Topcashback to earn cashback on your purchase. As of late Monday night, Ebates if offering 4% (plus a $10 new user bonus) and Topcashback is offering 6%. However, these percentages will likely change overnight, so check before you shop.
Here's the scenario based on the Ebates offer, since it is the best for the new customers. I'm not listing the $10 new Ebates customer bonus in the scenario, but you can easily make that adjustment if you're new to Ebates.
- Sign up or log in at Ebates to earn 4% cashback on your purchase. (New users are also eligible for a $10 bonus.) Note that this rate may change overnight.
- Use the Ebates site to get to the Staples web site to ensure you get the cashback.
- Search for the Lincoln Logs Fort Building Set at Staples and add it to your cart. Price should be $32.99 (reg. price $64.62.)
- Earn $1.32 cashback from Ebates (assuming it stays at 4%.)
- Net price is $31.67 after sale and cashback.

Debbie D.
WOW! What a GREAT find! Dave is an amazing teacher. He is unassuming and unintimidating and has the great gift of encouragement that makes you want to learn more. His "just practice 5 minutes a day" regime is genius because the things he gives you to practice are so fun that the 5 minutes quickly turns into 10, then 20, then 30.....
Do you really like working with beginners?
Beginners are a total blast! So much fun!!!
So, seriously, you'll teach me even though I know nothing?
Absolutely. I've done it countless times. Just check out my Yelp reviews. Most of those people started from scratch. Not only that, but I'm prepared to help complete beginners. From showing you how to strum, play chords, and even how to tune your guitar, I've got your back.
I also have made it a priority to have all of the learning materials you need ready to go as soon as you are ready to tackle songs. I've got a ton of photos, videos, and ridiculously gorgeous song sheets to help you learn this instrument. Very few teachers can match the value of these materials. I know for certain you'll learn very quickly.
If you know nothing about guitar and want to learn, I'm happy to help. Honored.
Isn't it hard to learn guitar when you learn from a teacher that isn't in the same room?
I think it's easier. I have worked with complete beginners in face-to-face lessons for over a decade before I went to Skype. The transition wasn't hard because the process for learning guitar is exactly the same for either format.
I'm in front of a computer screen for my job, a lot. Why would I want to learn guitar with you over Skype?
Wait a minute! What makes you think that I'm no different than your co-workers? Your clients? Your boss?!? Really?!?!? You're gonna do that to me?!? I'm here to help you have fun, not suck the fun out of your life! Keep in mind:
- You're not the one working; I am. I'm the one who bends over backwards so you learn, not you!
- I have years of experience helping tons of other beginners just like you, and the lessons are no different in person as they are over Skype.
- You don't need to fight traffic. You won't waste time on your commute, and you can spend that extra time simply chilling out.
- You can pat yourself on the back for making a conscious, though small, step to being more environmentally friendly.
These are but a few of the great benefits of learning guitar remotely! I'm not your boss, believe me. I'm just a guy who wants to help you learn.
What if the video quality is blurry?
Skype recommends that you have 1.5 mbps up and down for HD video. I have upgraded my internet to being far above this, so all you need to get is that 1.5 up and down. If you're unsure, go here to test the speed of your internet connection.
Even if your screen is blurry, I can still tell by the sound of your playing how you are doing (10,000 hours will do that to you), and I can still help you.
How do I know that you're the right teacher for me?
Only you can know for sure. I can point to my reputation, or perhaps a bachelors and masters degree in music, but only you will know if I'm a good fit. If you have a good gut feeling after your first lesson, you'll love taking lessons with me.
What is the first lesson like?
Your first lesson with me is specifically about us getting to know each other. After we have had a chance to talk and get all of our expectations in the open, we'll work on some guitar stuff.
How long do you expect me to practice, outside of lessons?
Five minutes, each day.
How do I book my first lesson?
Easy! Please go here and introduce yourself to me, first!
Do you do group lessons?
No, sorry! Group lessons are super dissatisfying to teach.
Can I reserve a time each week to work with you?
Totally. This is the best way to assure your success with guitar. You can get started, here.
What is your cancellation policy?
Please cancel your lesson by using the online scheduling service more than 24 hours before your lesson, and I'll issue a refund shortly thereafter. No emailing, no calling, no hassles.
I recommend reading my policies before you book your first lesson.
What if I forget about my lesson?
This is super uncool. I don't refund for forgetfulness.
Do you offer gift certificates?
Nope! Sorry!
Do you teach children?
Nope! Sorry. I think there are great teachers out there who can help children, and I am not one of them. But adults? Preferred!
Do you teach intermediates?
Yes! I love to help intermediates refine their technique. Here's what I can do for you:
- Strumming and/or rhythm
- Basic open chords and playing them with less tension
- Changing chords while strumming
- Playing barre chords
- Playing power chords
- Fingerpicking
- Playing by ear
- Improvising
- How to become an extremely popular guitar teacher
What are your expectations of your students?
I expect five minutes of practice each day, enthusiasm, and presence.
Practice is necessary for progress, but you can slide with five minutes, minimum. If it weren't for enthusiasm, teaching lessons would be a complete drag. Do you want to work with an unenthusiastic teacher? Also, presence: When you're in the lesson, be there. Turn off the phone, leave the outside world for a bit, and fully engage with the material.
Do you require students to perform?
Most students don't want to perform, and I can't blame them for it, so, no. Besides, it's possible for a person to learn guitar without performing. After all, I've taught hundreds of beginners how to do it.
Do you require students to learn music theory, or to learn to read music?
No. I only teach what you ask me to teach you. If you'd like to get down and dirty with music theory or reading music, I'll help you.
I just want to learn to play a bunch of songs. That's it. That would make me happy. Are you cool with that?
Sounds good to me. Keep in mind I will veto some songs if they are too much of a challenge for you, or because I draw the line when it comes to teaching Boston or showing you Stairway to Heaven.
Do you teach__________?
Bring it on! The less experience you have, the better.
Jazz guitar, shred guitar, or metal?
I know how to play these genres, but teaching them is another thing altogether. My answer is no.
Classic rock?
Short answer: Nope.
Long answer: My very first job was as a dishwasher at a Chili's in Rochester, NY. Guess what they played non-stop and at full blast in the kitchen?!? This inspired a hatred of both Boston (the band, not the city) and Stairway to Heaven.
Blues guitar, finger-style guitar, finger-style blues guitar?
Not so much, sorry!
Songwriting is such an individual pursuit. Some people want to play guitar simply to create music on it. Others really enjoy just playing songs because that's enjoyable enough. My approach to teaching songwriting is similar to my approach to teaching music theory: If they ask, I'll help them out as best as I can.
Classical guitar?
I don't offer courses in how to learn classical guitar.

Physically speaking, the difference between Android tablets and Apple's iPad has, for the most part, been in the little things. Not unimportant things, mind you, but features that are small in size. A micro-HDMI port, for example, is something we expect to see on an Android tablet, micro-SD card slots too. Some Android tablets play host to USB ports, both full size and micro, and some have a slot that also read the SD card you use in your digital cameras.
Not so with the Nexus 7. Google's approach is far simpler than its OEM partners. Opting to follow Apple's lead, Google has designed a tablet with the bare minimum of openings, ports and slots. There's a single micro-USB port at the base of the tablet, which is used for both charging and data transfers, and there is a 3.5mm headphone socket on the top. Otherwise, the tablet is sealed in a comfortable, plastic chassis, with a dimpled texture to hold on to.
The Nexus 7 is light, and its textured cover is comfortable to hold.
(Credit: CBSi)
It's not the slimmest mobile gadget around; the Nexus 7 is about 10.5mm thick, but thankfully, it is one of the lightest tablets you can buy. At 340-grams, Google estimates that this tablet weighs the same as a standard paperback (think Pride and Prejudice, not War and Peace) and it is certainly one of the most comfortable to hold, even for long stretches of time.
The screen is probably the reason Google chose to work with Asus on this project, given the success Asus has had with its tablet displays thus far. The screen on the Nexus 7 is fantastic for the price you'll pay, offering an HD resolution IPS panel with responsive multi-touch controls. Colours and blacks could be bolder, but text onscreen is crisp and gradients appear smoothly. Off-axis viewing angles are good, though not as good as those on the larger Asus Transformer models.
It's also worth noting that the Nexus 7 doesn't have a rear-facing camera. There is a 1.2MP front-facing lens for video-calling, but there is no camera for everyday photography. Some may disagree, but we think this a wise decision. Cameras on tablets tend to be of a poor quality and are awkward to use because of the larger size of the devices themselves.
We do feel Google is missing a trick in not including an HDMI port on the Nexus 7, though. This tablet is primarily a multimedia consumption device, and the option to share the content on the tablet with a larger screen makes sense to us. That said, we doubt may Nexus 7 owners will miss this functionality, either way.
Android Jelly Bean
One of the best reasons to consider the Nexus 7 over any of the other Android tabs available at the moment, is that you are all-but guaranteed to have the latest version of Android as soon as Google releases it. The Nexus 7has the Jelly Bean version for now, and while we've published more detailed opinions on this update already, it is worth pointing out the top-line pros and cons, as it informs so much of how this review is constructed.
For starters, Jelly Bean is definitely better than all previous versions of Android. It feels slick and fast and there is almost no processing lag whatsoever. Animated transitions appear fluid and they respond to all touchscreen input, however subtle. There is the standard suite of Google apps pre-installed, plus a few new ones like Google's Flipboard-style news reader, called Currents. You also get a free movie (Transformers: Dark of the Moon) and AU$25 credit on the Play store, which is substantial when you consider that you can buy the 8GB version of this tablet for AU$249.
Google Now is also installed, a new application which attempts to deliver information to you, before you request it. For example, if you tell the tablet your route to work and home each day, it will, in theory, give you traffic warnings before you set out in either direction. You can also tell it where you live and which sporting teams you like, among other things, and it will keep you up to date with weather and scores. To launch Google Now you simply swipe upwards from the virtual Home button on the navigation bar.
Really, Google Now? You think I should hang out at Scruffy Murphy's?
(Credit: CBSi)
In our tests, Google Now was pretty useless. We couldn't plug in Australian sporting teams, and we didn't find the automatic navigation suggestions very helpful. From the sample cards you can browse through, it seems like a great feature for travellers with flight times and currency and language translators on hand. We did find the updated voice search feature far more useful though, with voice-to-text translation providing far more accurate results than previously.
Matching the tablet's excellent screen and design, Google and OEM partner Asus pack in some of the best of this generation's mobile hardware. Opting for an Nvidia Tegra 3 processor, Google pretty much guarantees that you'll be able to run anything in its app store with this tablet, plus future proofs it for some time to come. It seamlessly handled all of our tests, all games and HD video content we threw at it, and it multitasked between these apps without complaint.
In synthetic benchmark comparisons, the Nexus 7 certainly held its own. It's BrowserMark result was excellent, using the Chrome browser for Android, and 17.69 frames-per-second in a 3D rendering benchmark is solid, though not mind-blowing.

Battery life in tablets is never as much of a concern as it is with smartphones, especially a 7-inch tablet that doesn't have 3G connectivity. Asus includes a 4325mAh battery pack in the Nexus 7 and delivers Energizer Bunny-like results, with 10 hours of 720p video playback in our tests, over five hours of web browsing and approximately five days of standby between charges. As with the display, it is great that battery life is not one of the areas sacrificed to keep the price low.
Connectivity considerations
One important thing to remember about the Nexus 7 is that there is no 3G option — this tablet is strictly Wi-Fi only. If you feel like you're going to need data regularly when you're on the move, you might look to some of the other 3G models available.
Of course, savvy smartphone users will know that you can easily share the data on your smartphone account with this tablet, using the personal Wi-Fi hotspot option on most current smartphones. You might need to increase your monthly data allowance through your telco if you take this route, but it will give you the data you need on the Nexus 7, when you need it.
Perhaps the most limiting feature of the Nexus 7 is that it only comes in 8GB and 16GB storage options, and there is no way to expand this memory with an SD card, or similar. This means you have to figure out in advance whether the extra AU$50 for the 16GB is money well spent, or not. Only offering these two options is obviously part of Google's plans to keep the price of the Nexus 7 to a minimum, but it definitely creates an obstacle for users with large media libraries.
It might mean that you will have to consider alternatives to local storage for certain file types. Photos and documents can be accessed easily and quickly when they are archived on a cloud storage tool like Dropbox, though this won't work so well for videos. Also, if you have a large music collection, you might consider signing up to a streaming service like Spotify, rather than dumping all of your MP3 files on the memory of this tablet.
Google's tablet is easily our favourite Android tablet, blowing past the excellent Asus Transformer in our esteem with its lightweight design and low price. We've seen other tablets in this price range before, but none have come close to delivering the performance of the Nexus 7, or having a screen of the same quality as you get here.
This is an important tablet for geeks, as it will be the best way to stay up to date with Google's platform as it advances. For everyone else, the Nexus 7 is a great value tablet and a solid alternative for anyone who wants an iPad, but isn't prepared to pay top-dollar for one.

While a very engaging speaker talked about how women like to be loved and men want to feel respected (two sides of the same coin), I doodled unconsciously. {And yes, I listened. I'm just one of those who sometimes doodles during lectures and phone calls...wish I still had some high school and college notebooks!}
Are you a doodler? Do you find yourself doodling the same things again and again or do new things unconsciously work their way onto the paper?
Happy Monday, Sweet Readers!
P.S. In case you've never heard of Love and Respect, let me say this: reading the book with a handful of open and honest couples was a TOTAL game changer in our marriage. You might remember my Valentine card that was inspired by what we learned: that the words "I respect you" (and actions that reinforce those words), motivates your husband to love you in ways you've always wanted to be loved. Crazy, but true, ladies!

A Matthew Is Not A Statistic!
January 2, 2013 (article is from the My Hope With Billy Graham website http://myhopewithbillygraham.org/not_a_statistic/?
If you saw our previous post, we talked about how the Apostle Matthew was a despised tax collector until he was radically changed by Jesus. He invited fellow hoodlums to dinner at his place so they could see Jesus' mercy and grace with their own two eyes, just like we can do as Matthews through My Hope with Billy Graham.
That being said, we're going to look at being a Matthew through a different pair of glasses: what a Matthew is NOT.
Rewind: I'm going to presume that you're American. I'm also presuming your interest in My Hope with Billy Graham means you're a Christian. That makes you and me "American Christians." Unfortunately, the connotation behind that label is becoming more negative by the day. Perhaps it is attributed to the face that corporately, we are very far from the example set by Matthew in the Bible.
The Proof is in the Facts*:
Less than 2% of evangelical Christians in America witness weekly to unbelievers or annually lead someone to Christ.
90% of all Christians in American will never share their faith with anyone in their lifetime!
Only 21% of American evangelical Christians will invite anyone to church in a year.
Only 2% will invite an un-churched person to the church in a year.
95% of all Christian believers in America have NEVER led anybody to Christ!
Our American Christian report card looks something like"
N for Needs Improvement
D for Does Not Meet Expectations
F for Fail
Wake up Call: Moms, when you hit an a-maz-ing sale that saves you major $$$, do you keep it to yourself OR share with your best friends pronto?
College kids, if you're in the know on a HUGE concert of a favorite artist coming to town, do you keep it a secret and only get a ticket for yourself OR tell all of your friends ASAP?
Men, if you go fishing and catch the biggest fish you've ever seen in your life, do you lay low and stay humble OR is that the one Facebook picture, group text and mass email you share all year long?
Examine: When it come to Jesus, do you do the same? If we want to see our communities changed, this answer must equal the answer to each of the 3 questions above. Now is the time to quit demonstrating what a Matthew is not. It's time to turn the statistics around, and tell our country about the indescribable love and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ!

Hello OF-experts!
It should be pointed out at first that this is my first thread addressed to this forum. I have been using OF1.3 successful until now. I could solve all occuring difficulties by reading your questions and answers. Thanks to all of you.
A few days ago I started to install OF1.5. I have been successful with the Qt4.3.2 installation. I also run my first test case of icoFoam as recommended in README file. Everything works fine until I try to complete the last step of the README, precisely 'Compiling Paraview 3.3 and the PV3FoamReader module'. I get the following error message:
CMake Error: This project requires some variables to be set,
and cmake can not find them.
Please set the following variables:
Since I am not very familiar with compiling and all related programs like cmake, make, and so on I have actually meet the limits of my linux knowledge. Hopefully, someone can tell my how to solve the problem.
Some relevant information:

Hi all,
I ran into a slightly different problem when recompiling ParaView3.3 using "buildParaView3.3-cvs".
It compiled fine, but when I start paraview, it tries to use "/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6" instead of the version in the gcc-4.3.1 shipped with OpenFOAM 1.5, even when I source the environment. Therefore, I get this error:
"/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.5' not found (required by [whatever paraview library requiring libstdc+.so.6])"
When I recompile Paraview through "cmake, make, make install" with the right environment (manually set), everthing works fine.
AMD x86_64
CentOS 5 (2.6.18-53.1.21.el5)
Other things shipped with OpenFOAM 1.5
I can try to look into it more, but I need help with what "buildParaView" actually does (towards the end of "buildParaView3.3-cvs" -- sorry I am not too good with script-like things). Any suggestion is appreciated!

Ned, i just got 32-bit OF1.5 working on Debian "etch" (well, i think it's working so far).
I had to rebuild paraview also. I found that I had to compile by hand 'flex' and make symbolic links to point flex to flex++ for the Allwmake to work properly.
Rebuilding Paraview (follow the instructions to remove the paraview3.3-cvs)
I copied all my qt4.3.5 files to /usr/lib, then had to install the python2.5 application.
Then resumed the instructions to rebuild paraview, the final stage of the overall Allwmake.
The BuildParaView function is basically a ./configure command and I sent all the output to a .txt file. Both CPUs ran at 100% during the build process.
The clean up and ./allwmake process that followed were fairly short compared to the overall compilation of OF.
Hi Ned, I just got the same
Hi Ned,
I just got the same error ('GLIBCXX_3.4.5' not found) doing a rebuild on my OpenSuse10.2 machine. Found that paraview uses rpath as a link option and takes the system c++ libraries instad of using the LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting which would force it to use the OpenFOAM installed gcc-4.3.1 version.
- if you already have a build: edit platforms/linuxXXXX/CMakeCache.txt and set VTK_USE_RPATH to off (VTK_USE_RPATH:BOOL=OFF)
- or attached a revised bin/tools/buildParaViewFunctions which does that for you and rebuilds the whole thing

Hi everyone,
Trying to install OpenFOAM-1.5 and run into the same problem as Christian Wolf. When I did buildParaView3.3-cvs I get the error

Please set the following variables:

Hi, I encounter some proble
I encounter some problems to compile Paraview.
Following the README file, i get the error of Ned (July, 26) about GLIBCXX_3.4.9 (and not GLIBCXX_3.4.5). I have used the function buildParaviewFunctions given in the previous message of Mattijs Janssens but i still get the same error. Should i change something to this file seing that my error is about GLIBCXX_3.4.9 and not GLIBCXX_3.4.5 ?
I have also tried to follow the advices of Ned (the same post) making cmake, make and make install. It seems to work, i don't have problems with GLIBCXX_3.4.9 anymore but later in the compilation i have an other error message saying that the 'class QString' has no member named 'toStdString'.
Searching on the web, i found that it could be due to the fact that Qt is nor compiled with STL enable. However, desinstalling Qt 4.3.1 and recompiling it by ./configure -stl and then gmake does not work:
In file included from shared/qdesigner_stackedbox.cpp:42:
shared/orderdialog_p.h:76: error: 'Ui' has not been declared

finally, i compiled paraview with buildParaview3.3-cvs, then cmake, make amd make install. I used the version Qt-4.4.3 by modifiying the CMakeList.txt.
However i don't see anywhere a paraview application. The paraFoam command gives me the error:
line 100: paraview: command not found
ep4@wobwslx2:/net/ric_home/ep4$ type paraview
bash: type: paraview: not found
A check on my system gives me (after an updatedb):

Does someone could help me to understand or resolve the problem?

Hi everybody,
i'am back with the same problem. I had maybe suppressed a little bit too many lines in the CMakeLists.txt file.
Deleting only the lines 94 to 96 i still get the same error but i receive the following message when using cmake:
[root@wobwslx2 ThirdParty]# cmake ParaView3.3-cvs
CMake Error: Qt 4.3.0 or greater not found. Please check the QT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE variable.
Qt was not found
-- Configuring done
I don't know why it says me that seing that i use the command PATH=/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.4.3/bin:$PATH to indicate the version i want it uses (i also have a really old version).
And i'am asking if this message could explain that i don't get any executable called paraview after the compilation.
I really need help! Thank you in advance

02/01/2016 | No Comments
As I write this, we edge towards the end of the first day of 2016. Happy New Year, by the way. A lot happens in the world in 365 days and whilst I could cast a critical eye over the year that has passed us by, I fear I could be here all night.
What I will say is this: I've had this website a long time. I paid for the web space and domain, I coded the site, designed the graphics, and yet still I have committed what many would regard as a cardinal sin. I've not updated my website, with new content for over 6 months. Through a lack of direction, and perhaps a lack of time, I neglected my website.
It's not as if I haven't done anything with my year either. On the contrary, it's been very busy and there is probably plenty of shenanigans and experiences I could have reflected on. For example, the picture above is of me handling an Asian Golden Eagle whilst at Bestival, on the Isle of Wight. This particular strain of Golden Eagle can be found in Kazakhstan, where it's still used by native Kazakhs for horseback hunting. In this photo, the bird's handler has just informed me that these birds push mountain goats off cliffs to conserve energy whilst hunting. Naturally, I found this mental image mildly hilarious. Cue cheesy grin, and mild cackle. That should give you some insight into my sense of humour at the very least!
What I would like to aim for going forward, is more of the same. To share the world for the strange, surreal and absurd place I see it to be.
With this in mind, I have opted for a bit of a hard reset, and returned to post one. Pushed the unsuspecting mountain goat of ageing content, over the cliff of time and into the jagged rocks of history. If you will. Whilst my website will now look a bit blank to any other Tom, Dick or Harry who should visit, it should gradually be populated by some at least vaguely amusing content.
Happy 2016!Read More ...

Real-Life Radio Controlled Minecraft Creeper to Scare Intruders
Here's an interesting way to fend off intruders by scaring the hell out of them. That is if they even know a game called Minecraft. This home-made creation brings the Creeper from the popular game Minecraft into real life as one that can move on its own and stalk its prey.
Made by Chris of The New Hobbyist, this radio-controlled Creeper on wheels was made out of cardboard boxes for its shell and connected to an RC toy car for movement. But that's not all, it even comes with a motion detection sensor system built into it and speakers to play the scary sound effects of the Creeper.
When everything has been put together this Creeper bot is able to detect motion and will move towards its target thereafter just like a creeper would in Minecraft. Thankfully only the sound effects follow straight after it has reached the intended spot so one will probably just get a fright out of it.
Watch the video of real life radio-controller Minecraft creeper in action:
I can say that's a pretty nice build from an idea that started out as a substitute for a pet dog for home security.

Mrs. Isuta Fullah, wife of Nazarene Pastor James Fullah in Sierra Leone, has passed away while undergoing treatment for Ebola.
The Fullahs (pictured) have five children. Pastor Fullah and the children, along with seven adult relatives, are in quarantine.
With deep sorrow, Sierra Leone District Superintendent Rev. Vidal Cole shared the news on 16 February of Mrs. Fullah's passing, only three days after he had released the news that she was sick.
Mrs. Fullah is the first member of the Church of the Nazarene in Sierra Leone to pass away from the Ebola virus, he said.
"Please continue to join us in prayer as we trust that by the mercies of God, Pastor Fullah, the children and the other family members will not test positive," Rev. Cole said, "and that God will stop the spread of this deadly virus in our nation."
Across Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea, more than 23,200 people have contracted Ebola, and approximately 9,365 have died, according to the World Health Organization.
The economies in these countries have suffered during the crisis, and patients who go through quarantine or survive Ebola often face the hardship of being stigmatized by the rest of the community.
Nazarene churches in the hard-hit areas, through the help of Nazarene Compassionate Ministries, are teaching communities about how Ebola spreads and how they can protect themselves, and have set up tap buckets for hand-washing. Churches are also providing food and companionship for those in need.

Glycol displaces Water in a pipe, a few questions need to ask, thanks!
I have a problem with Fluent from my project. A 3" pipe is full of water and later MEG will be injected into the pipe. I need to simulate the mass fraction distribution of MEG in the pipe after certain period injection. Following questions I need to ask you:
1) How should I define the materials? The density, viscosity and diffusivity of MEG is correlated with temperature. UDF of mixtures properties have been written. I do not know how to define the material properties for the mixture.
2) Since it is multiphase flow (Liquid+Liquid), should I define water as preliminary phase and MEG as secondary phase?
3) Species transport model has been selected. How to check the mass fraction of MEG at the end? I didn't find the Mass fraction option from the drop down lists.

Not every rookie political wannabe gets to have his campaign announcement on national TV.
But Ben Quayle, the latest Republican to jump into a crowded congressional primary in Arizona, is the son of former vice president Dan Quayle. So proud poppa did the honors during an interview on Fox News.
"The big news is my son Ben Quayle today filed his papers for congressman of the 3rd Congressional District here in Arizona," the former veep announced. That makes the younger Quayle the latest entrant in the race to succeed retiring Rep. John Shadegg, R-Ariz. A poll released yesterday showed state Sen. Jim Waring with a wide lead over six other contenders in the GOP primary.
But Dan Quayle, who served as No. 2 to President George H.W. Bush, is sunny about his son's chances. "We are convinced he will be successful," he said. The new congressional candidate can be seen in the shadow of his father's marble bust in the 2003 photo above. That's brother, Tucker, mugging at left.
The younger Quayle joins a flock of political progeny who are vying for office this year. Here's a story about them by our colleague Fredreka Schouten. But family connections aren't always a key to political success. A well-known name didn't help Ethan Hastert, son of former Houses speaker Denny Hastert, in this month's Illinois GOP congressional primary.
Primary day in Arizona is Aug. 24.

ever since I was a child I never saw myself as good looking. iI am now in college and I have this same problem. People tell me all the time that I am good looking..also I had a huge crush on this guy and we went on a couple dates and he told me that I look good in anything I wear. Even though people always compliments me I still feel hideous like I am looking at someone else I am never happy with how I look. I tried to see myself as good looking but usually I say at least I look o.k ...Advice?
Most Helpful Girl
I had the same problem growing up. I'm also in college now but I just try to do things to boost my self-esteem. I like dressing nice and putting effort into my appearance which has helped me view myself in a better light.
When I was a kid I was a total tomboy and didn't care about taking the time on my appearance but when I started doing that it made me feel better. And I know this is cliche, but if you look in the mirror every day and tell yourself you're beautiful, it actually does help.
No one can make you feel like you're pretty, you can only do that for yourself. It may take time but just keep finding positives in yourself and don't focus on the negative things. Compliment YOURSELF, that's how you'll start getting a better self-image. Hope this helped:)22|00|0
I also grew up being more of a tomboy lol..I will keep trying to and try complimenting myself. Thanks :)

Extension of Visit Visa in Saudi Arabia can be made online as well as through manual system. If you apply for the extension of family visit visa, you will have to visit Jawazat and the procedure regarding this has been explained in this article. "Extension of Visit Visa". However, if you want to file an extension online, there is no need to go to Jawazat. You can just do it yourself by following the procedures given in this article. "Online Extension of Family Visit Visa". Whatever procedure you want to adopt, you will have to pay SR 100 for the extension of visit visa. Here in this article, I will be explaining about the procedure of making this payment of SR 100 for the extension of family visit visa through internet banking. I will be using account of Al Rajhi Bank and SAMBA Bank but you can use any other bank as well. Procedure will remain almost the same.
Procedure to Pay Fee for the Extension of Family Visit Visa
- First of all, you must have an internet banking account. If you don't have internet banking account, you cannot make transaction from here. But you can still pay it through ATM Card.
- Login to your Internet Banking Account and search for the tab of "payments" from the home screen. In Rajhi Bank, you will see the tab of "Payments" on the mid of the screen.
- A drop down list will be opened from where you will have to select "Government Payments". A screenshot is attached for your guidance. If you are using SAMBA Bank Internet banking, your first step after logging into internet banking is selection of "Government Services"
It is important to mention here that the payment for extension of family visit visa does not appear in available funds of MOI. The only way to verify if the payment has been correctly made is to apply for the extension of family visit visa online. If you are able to extend family visit visa, it means that payment has been made in the correct account.

I have 4 beautiful children and would love more little ones! The hubby not so much lol. This is the longest I've gone without being pregnant :-( My youngest is 19 months now and growing out of the baby phase. I miss the dependency of a newborn. Maybe one day I can talk the hubby into more. I love pregnancy and everything that comes with it
Aw.. hehe! Sounds like you LOVE being a Mama.. so awesome! Maybe once your other babes are older.. you can sneak one more newborn in? :)
Well if its just to have a baby around to fell that dependency need, have you thought to foster kids? They always need people and a lot of work goes into it on your part
We've thought about adoption. I dont think I could foster. I would get too attached. But another reason I would like to try for another baby some day is because I want to vba4c. We have moved and I have found a supportive doctor as well as a doula. I was robbed of natural birth by my previous doctor. Thats a whole other story though lol.

I am a trained film actress and working model, specializing in promotions and lifestyle or glamour for print, but I intend to explore different genres-especially cosplay (if the props are supplied) and pin-up. I am looking for reliable people to work with in order to make money to support my acting and writing careers, as well as receive some killer footage. Some of my print work includes Fake L.A.'s shirt line (worn by Trey Songz and carried in stores like Kitson in LA) and the calendar and promotional material for the feature film Gnarly. My promotional modeling experience ranges from presenting mermaid fins with the famous Mertailor to Red Bull trophy girl and Hooters model. I have done many tradeshows and conventions. My training in acting, Communication studies, and gymnastics/dance/martial arts all give me the ability to use my body and expression in a tasteful manner.
I have done too many shoots where I don't see the result due to a photographer's laziness or disinterest in editing things they shot for free, no matter how well the shoot went (I saw the pictures myself). I know there are many gifted and motivated photographers out there and clients who treat their talent with respect.'
Please take a glance at my Credits and Portfolio to message me with paid gigs. There will be some consideration for TF shoots where the mutual benefit and exposure is high, and the footage is received in a timely manner and suitable for portfolio.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) - Florida State's Terrance Shannon was carried off the court on a stretcher late in the Seminoles' game at Virginia on Saturday, but team doctor Bill Hamilton said the redshirt-junior forward appeared to have suffered a neck sprain.
Shannon was expected to stay overnight and undergo more precautionary tests, Hamilton said.
The 6-foot-8 forward went down with 3:58 remaining after appearing to hit his head against the thigh or hip of Virginia's Evan Nolte during a scramble under the Florida State basket. He remained on the floor motionless for nearly 10 minutes as first trainers and then paramedics attended to him.
He eventually was loaded onto a stabilizing backboard and then onto a stretcher and taken to the hospital.
Seminoles scoring leader Michael Snaer said the situation was unnerving, especially since Shannon has struggled with injuries before.
``You always worry when a guy like that goes down,'' Snaer said. ``This is a guy that's been haunted by injuries his whole career. You want to see him get better so we're really worried about him.''
Virginia won the game, 56-36, but coach Tony Bennett said the victory was ``sobering'' because of the injury.
``You see that, you can't feel as good as you'd like about a win like that. You hope and pray for their young man that that's not anything threatening or serious,'' Bennett said.
