BARCELONA, SPAIN — Mobile World Congress — February 26, 2012 — HTC, a global designer of smartphones, today unveiled its new HTC One series of smartphones that represent its most premium mobile experience with a new level of iconic design and amazing camera and authentic sound experience.
"The best moments in life are captured with a photo or remembered by a song, so it was key for the HTC One series to improve these emotional experiences with an amazing camera and authentic sound experience," said Peter Chou, CEO of HTC Corporation. "We are very focused on creating a camera and audio experience customers will love and use often and we believe the HTC One series delivers this in a way never seen on a phone before."
With HTC's most premium experience, the HTC One series integrates Android 4.0 (ICS) with HTC Senseâ"¢ 4, the new version of HTC's branded user experience that is introducing HTC ImageSenseâ"¢, a new suite of camera and imaging features that set HTC One apart from other phones. HTC Sense 4 also includes broad enhancements to audio quality and simplifies how people listen to music on their phone.
Amazing Camera
With ImageSense HTC One rivals traditional digital cameras with improvements to every part of the camera, including the lens, the sensor, the software, and even integrating a new custom HTC ImageChip. These enhancements combine to deliver our fastest image capture, best image quality under adverse conditions and easiest interface that enables quick access to capturing stills and videos with side-by-side photo and video capture buttons.
- Superfast Capture - HTC One dramatically reduces the time it takes to capture those key moments. In just 0.7 seconds you're able to take a shot, and with a new superfast 0.2-seconds autofocus, continue to take nearly unlimited continuous shots simply by holding the shutter button.
- Good photos in adverse conditions - HTC One delivers dramatic enhancements in image capture quality even in adverse conditions such as low light, no light or with bright backlighting. The f/2.0 lens on the HTC One X and HTC One S offers best-in-class performance, capturing 40 percent more light than the f/2.4 lenses available on other high-end phones. HTC One also includes HDR, a market-leading technology, for taking great photos even when there are varying levels of brightness.
- Video Pic (Concurrent Video/Still Capture) — With Video Pic you capture a photo and shoot video at the same time. Now, while you're shooting HD video, all you have to do is tap the shutter button and it snaps a high-resolution still photo while the video continues to shoot. You are also able to capture a photo frame from a previously recorded video.
- Dropbox integrated with HTC Sense - HTC One gives you an easy way to save and share your photos and videos. HTC has integrated Dropbox into HTC Sense 4 enabling HTC One customers to get 25 gigabytes of free Dropbox space for two years. That's enough to keep more than 10,000 high-quality photos. Dropbox is also integrated throughout HTC Sense 4, so it's easy to edit, save and share your documents and other kinds of files.
- Sharing your photos and more - HTC One gives you a new way to share your photos and videos. When you plug in HTC's wireless Media Link HD* accessory into your TV's HDMI port, you can easily share your photos, videos, or anything else on your phone with your friends, family or colleagues regardless of the television's brand as long as it has HDMI.
Authentic Sound
With HTC One, Beats By Dr. Dre Audioâ"¢ integration is enabled for the first time across the entire experience for richer, more authentic sound whether you're listening to your favorite music, watching a YouTubeâ"¢ video or playing a game. HTC One also makes it easy to get and listen to your music on your phone with the built-in HTC Sync Manager software that automatically installs to your computer when connected. Once connected, it is easy to transfer songs, artists and playlists from your music library.
Of course, people today no longer just listen to the songs stored on their phones; they use streaming services and tune into Internet radio. So HTC One lets you customize the new Music Hub with your favorite services and music applications, like the latest Soundhound technology, giving you one place to go for all of your music.
HTC One lets you take all of your music anywhere, including the car. With HTC One, you get an easy way to bring your mobile music to your car's sound system with the HTC Car Stereo Clip*. It also lets you connect to your music through more than 50 thousand online radio stations worldwide or play music from any service or app on your phone through your car speakers. All this makes HTC One the one place to enjoy all your music, wherever you are, with the power of Beats By Dr. Dre Audio and HTC Car.
HTC One X
The HTC One X features a beautifully crafted polycarbonate unibody that has the ruggedness of metal but is super lightweight. With seamless construction, the unibody combines a unique high gloss 'piano' finish and a matte back. HTC One is blazing fast with the new NVIDIA® Tegra 3 Mobile Processor for clear graphics, faster applications and longer battery life. It includes a 1.5GHz Super 4-PLUS-1â"¢ quad-core with an integrated fifth Battery Saver Core and a high-performance 12-Core NVIDIA® GPU. The HTC One also has an amazing 4.7-inch, 720p HD screen crafted from contoured Corningâ"¢ Gorilla Glass. HTC One X will also be available in select 4G LTE markets with a LTE-enabled Qualcomm Snapdragon S4â"¢ processor with up to 1.5GHz dual-core CPU's.
Global Availability
With unprecedented excitement, the HTC One series will begin shipping in April with broad global availability available beginning in April through more than 140 mobile operators and distributors globally. For more information and to pre-register for HTC One visit www.htc.com.

Is this lens worth the price? Yes
Would I buy this lens again? Yes
Pros: extremely wide angle (equal to about 16 or 17mm after 1.6x crop, even better on a Nikon 1.5x) for a low price, good build quality, quiet AF for a non-HSM motor, smooth focus ring, accurate AF, good lens cap design, low flare (very important for an ultra-wide). fisheye effect is easily corrected with free software with excellent results. very sharp at f2.8 - as sharp as my 50mm at 2.8.
Cons: does not sharpen up as much my other lenses when stopped down to f4, AF/MF switch is stiff (but that's just nit-picking - no point deduction)
Would I buy again? Yes. with affordable FF on the horizon the 10-20 and 10-22 lenses are not as appealing IMO. the 15mm would become even wider on FF, and the semi-fisheye effect is sometimes welcome or even undetectable (at least on 1.6x).

"A Chinese company called YellowSheepRiver wants to make affordable budget computing a reality with its new $150 Linux Municator, a highly compact and innovative PC built with inexpensive Chinese hardware components. Although MIT's much touted $100 Linux laptop has yet to transcend its status as vaporware, YellowSheepRiver already has a working product which could potentially be available for purchase within the next three months." It runs on a custom 64 bit processor, derived from the MIPS processor, and as a result won't run Windows.

TSA Confiscates Pregnant Woman's Insulin, Ice Packs
from the how-nice-of-them dept
"He's like, 'Well, you're a risk.' I'm like, 'Excuse me?' And he's like, 'This is a risk ... I can't tell you why again. But this is at risk for explosives,'" the woman said.In typical TSA denial fashion, it has issued an apology... while also suggesting the woman is lying:
"We talked to all of our people and they didn't touch her insulin," said TSA spokeswoman Pat Ahlstrom.
Ahlstrom said ice packs are only allowed if they're completely frozen and the woman's were not.

Mila Kunis: J/P HRO Charity Auction Dinner Guest!
Mila Kunis hits the town for the J/P HRO Charity Auction Dinner on Saturday (November 17) in Rome, Italy.
The 29-year-old actress was joined at the Sean Penn charitbale event by Maria Bello.
That same day, Mila and her The Third Person co-star James Franco were spotted out and about together in Rome. After chatting a bit with a bunch of other pals, the two went on their separate ways. Mila was then seen shopping at the Porta Portese markets.
FYI: Mila is wearing a John & Jenn cardigan while out with James.
10+ pictures inside of Mila Kunis attending the E, and out in Rome with James Franco…

At first, I'd walk over to my baking cupboard. Open it up. Survey all the various types of flours for all of my cooking and baking. Get overwhelmed. And end up standing there, staring into the cupboard eating a handful of chocolate chips.
OK, two handfuls.
OK, OK, three handfuls.
Once that freaking back of chocolate chips was gone, I cleaned out the cupboard.
Open items with gluten went to various friends and coworkers, as if I was finding good homes for my beloved baking supplies.
Unopened items (such as soups, beef stock, etc) went to the food bank. Have I mentioned before how annoying it is that wheat is in EVERYTHING!
But I digress. My friends and family have been so supportive through all of this! I've received new GF cookbooks! (Thanks Sara!) I've received emails, texts and facebook messages from friends with new GF blogs, websites, products, apps and recipes to try out.
So it was only a matter of time before I forced myself to snap out of my mope and get my GF butt back into my new cleaned and GF'd kitchen.
Megan (a friend named Megan, I haven't started referring to myself in third person, don't worry), sent me a link to the latest Martha Stewart cookie recipe for the month. It's GF Oatmeal cookie with raisins and chocolate chips. And you know how I love Ms. Stewart!
After trips to two different grocery stores (sigh...yes....two. On a Friday night nonetheless. Exciting, I know.) I was ready.
This one called for making your flour by pulverizing GF oats into a fine oat flour.
I swapped out the raisins for dried cranberries. Used mini chocolate chips.
Freakin' delish! Just the right amount of crunch and gooey cookie ratio one needs.
Friends, readers be warned. There are more GF adventures in the kitchen to come.

Sitamaran Krishnan
Take Professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Sitaraman Krishnan for example. Krishnan and his team are currently working on two projects whose outcomes will no doubt impact humanity. "I like being able to work in exciting areas of modern chemical engineering such as materials for energy, medicine and environmental health," he says.
Krishnan's first research project involves designing new materials for renewable energy and clean energy technologies. The project aims at lowering the costs associated with solar cell, lithium ion battery, and hydrogen fuel cell production by developing non‐volatile polymer electrolytes.
"Many of the present‐day devices are made with volatile and flammable solvents that restrict operating temperatures below their boiling points," he explains. "Take water, for example. We know that there are several advantages of operating hydrogen fuel cells above the 100 degree Celsius boiling point of water, so we are trying to find an alternative to water using non‐volatile materials and polymers that can operate at greater temperatures."
According to Krishnan, advances in materials design and synthesis will make products that use energy conversion and storage devices much more affordable for the end consumers. In turn, he hopes that more consumers will invest in these products over products that are not energy efficient, such as fuel cell and hydrogen vehicles as an alternative to gas‐powered vehicles.
In his second project, Krishnan and his team are collaborating with NewWorld Pharmaceuticals to develop stimulus responsive polymer particles for the sustained oral delivery of bioactives. For oral medications, the substance must pass through the stomach, where conditions are harsh. Krishnan is designing particles to release drugs or nutrients in the small intestine of humans, where most of the uptake into the bloodstream occurs, instead of the stomach, allowing for a better and prolonged absorption.
"The formulations we have developed have been tested on human subjects and seem promising for commercialization," he says. "This project has the potential to improve the method of administering nutrients and therapeutics, which will hopefully be beneficial to patients, the biomedical community, and the food processing industry alike."
Originally from Mumbai, India, Krishnan came to Clarkson in 2007 after receiving his Ph.D. from Lehigh University. He teaches courses in chemical reaction engineering and thermodynamics. He has also taught mass transfer, biomaterials and polymer materials. Outside the classroom and lab, Krishnan stays involved in the Clarkson community as a member of the Coulter School of Engineering Undergraduate Research Committee and as the faculty advisor to the Clarkson University Delta Chapter of the Omega Chi Epsilon, the honor society for chemical engineering students.
For him, spending time with Clarkson students is easy. "Our undergraduate and graduate students are bright and motivated. It is a pleasure to teach and mentor them. It's one of the best aspects of my job."

Off the top of my head, the only other church that I can think of which has this unique feature is that of the Nestorians and their children (the Chaldeans and Syro-Malabar Catholics) who use the Anaphora of Mar Addai and Mari.
I really don't know, since Rev. Dr. Mebratu does not mention them by name. He just says there are a few that are like that. I don't know if you watched the video, but he states that there are 5 foreign anaphoras borrowed from the Copts and the Syrians (and even some that share the same name as those aren't the same in Ethiopian usage; e.g., the Ethiopian Anaphora of St. Gregory is not the same as the Coptic Anaphora of St. Gregory), and 15 that are indigenous/Ethiopian. So odds are they are Ethiopian, but I don't know.

Rep. Berman: Those Who Don't Like The PRO IP Bill Just Want To Steal Stuff
from the say-what-now? dept
"There are people who want to steal intellectual property. Their lobby is distributed, diffuse, but unfortunately very popular."This, ladies and gentleman, is the guy who's in charge of determining our intellectual property laws. He simply assumes that anyone who disagrees with him "wants to steal intellectual property" (which, of course, isn't possible -- you can infringe, but not steal it). But, even more to the point, the folks he's talking about are most certainly not even defending the infringement of copyrights. They're talking about trying to bring the laws more in line with what's reasonable. To paint them all with the brush of defending "stealing" isn't just wrong, it's rather obnoxious.

Architectural Elements: Amazing Exposed Timber Beams & Trusses At Home
The structure and guts of a home are usually hidden behind drywall, paint and wallpaper. But there are some materials that are just better off in the spotlight, to showcase their purpose. Timber beams and trusses are a great example — not only are they strong structural members, but they're also show stopping design elements.

Marble currently uses the very old and outdated MWDBII dataset for vector map outlines and we really need to replace it with more up-to-date data. However, MWDBII has two key advantages, it is very compact in size enabling Marble to ship it by default, and the individual nodes have a zoom level value which speeds up drawing.
The current vector layer also has the disadvantage of not being able to be manipulated either programtiacally or by the user. This prevents it from being used for such things as KGeography or other educational uses where you would want to select and manipulate a geographic entity.
The Natural Earth data set is a "public domain map dataset available at 1:10m, 1:50m, and 1:110 million scales. Featuring tightly integrated vector and raster data, with Natural Earth you can make a variety of visually pleasing, well-crafted maps with cartography or GIS software." This data set seems ideal as a replacement for the MWDBII.
The 1:10m dataset seems ideal as the base map in Marble as it provides a higher level of detail than the current MWDBII. The 1:110m dataset seems ideal for use in a country selector widget in kdelibs. The 1:50m dataset is less detailed than the current MWDBII so may be less useful.
Using the data in the default shapefile format is not considered desirable however:
The ideal solution would therefore be to convert the Natural Earth data into a more efficient file format that includes a zoom level attribute. The full Natural Earth dataset would be converted, but would only ship the minimal dataset required with Marble (approx 4-5Mb?) with the remainder of the data later being downloaded via GHNS or as a separate package.
Some possibilities for the file format are:
The zoom level problem can be solved by either:
The Douglas-Peucker algorithm may be able to be used here.
Some pros/cons to consider:
bytes/point compared to the PNT which is 745KB and contains 127,246 points = 5.85 bytes/point, which would suggest the NE data in PNT format would be half the size, so 6 MB in total. This could probably be further reduced by a light application of Douglas-Peucker.
overlapping features like rivers match exactly and other such niceties, applying the Douglas-Peucker algorithm might affect that.
release which could be a lot of effort, but an automated shp2pnt script could prove useful to allow apps/users to display their own shapefiles in a simple way.
Using GeoPainter and GeoDataLineString ("libgeodata"):
Potential new Marble file format based on PNT:
Applying this to the 1:10m dataset:
Metadata file:
Rather than the Geonames ID, we could just use the Natural Earth object ID, then a look-up file/table that matches the NE ID to the ISO / FIPS / whatever code (NE provides this in the metadata) and Geonames ID (which we would have to provide). This would allow look-ups via whatever code or ID is available, and we wouldn't be reliant on Geonames IDs staying constant.
So required work is: 1) Fix GeoPainter LinearRings which contain a pole not rendered correctly
- Torsten knows, problem will fill in flat map needs to create polygon if closed and crosses dateline once only
2) Implement Douglas-Peuker reduction in GeoDataLineString
- big investigation
3) New PNT file format definition (with a different name, MBL?)
- existing serial format from geodata???
4) Metadata file format definition (could just be csv or xml? or sqlite?) 5) New GeoData PNT2 file loading code (convert old data). 6) shp2mbl script to convert shp to new formats (using Perl::shp? there's shp2xxx scripts out there we could copy?), including matching to Geonames ID 7) split files into 'ship with', 'download asap', 'ghns'@
Later add simple shapefile loading to GeoData, maybe with attibute layer?

Naturally "Stripped" Lamp by Floris Wubben
This minimalist lamp seems unassuming at first, until you take a closer look: The entire sculpture is made from a single tree branch, stripped of its bark and artfully re-shaped into a freestanding floor lamp.
Working with a raw branch, Dutch designer Floris Wubben "peels" the bark almost entirely along its length and spirals the strips into the form of a lampshade. The base of the lamp is made by splitting and bending the same branch into three legs.
Every lamp is unique to the branch it was carved from, and can be custom ordered through Floris Wubben's website. I would love to have a local artisan who could create this with fallen branches from my own neighborhood!

2PM Junsu WooYoung and Junho Interviews with Chosun
2PM Junsu "Completely awkward when not being on the stage"
-What kind of person is Junsu in 2PM?
"23 yr-old main vocalist who came from Daegu. I'm also a music and lyrics composer"
- What does 2PM mean to Junsu?
"Enthusiasm. Always be a group full of Fightings."
- Since when did you want to be a singer?
"When I was at 3rd year of junior high school, I had watched Stevie Wonder concert videos several times. That look was so good that I used to sing along. Continuing to have that interest, I started to learn about sounding when I went to High school then at 2nd year, I made a demo tape and sent it to YG and JYP. During that time, JYP had held a singing contest at Daegu, I won the 1st place. I debuted as a singer just like hat"
2PM Wooyoung "I'm the fussy mother of 2PM"
-What kind of person is Wooyoung in 2PM?
"I'm the fussy mother of 2PM. I've been loathing dirt so I always nag members to clean up. But no matter how often we clean, there's plenty of dirt. Since we're singers, it's not good for our voices. That's why members can hear a lot of unwanted sounds"
- Since when you dreamed of becoming a singer?
"5 or 6 years old? Since I went to kindergarten, I wanted to be a singer"
- Looks like you started at an early age
"Back then I had watched Michael Jackson's music videos and received a great influence. A young kid had been affected by such shock (?) so later I woke up I made a determination that no matter what happened, I'd become a dancer! I started early."
- When did you prepare to be a singer?
"At 2nd - 3rd year of junior high school. Since then I thought of being a singer and prepared for an audition alone at night. I joined JYP audition when I was at 1st year of High school."
- Tell me about your charm
"Cute? (laughs) I heard people say that I was cute many times. Well, even I think that I have a sense of humor and wits"
- What do you think is your weak point?
"Too serious. The problem is that I'm worried too much."
- The secret of taking care of body
"Fatty food is absolutely forbidden. Eat protein-rich foods like white eggs and chicken chest meat and try to eat rice such Jabgokbab(steamed rice with multi grains)"
- If you weren't a singer, what do you think you would be right now?
"Dancing, for sure. I've trying to be a famous dancer ever since I was in Busan."
2PM Junho "I'm a quietly funny person"
2PM member Junho (19) just a small smile and his eyes turned into half-moon shape. "Having eyes that can smile is my charm. I have nothing special…" As if he was proud with his own charm, Junho smiled at us with his cute smiley eyes. He was no doubt a boy.
-What kind of person is Lee Junho?
"I'm relentless. My belief is 'Do things that you can't do!'. If there's a problem, I'll persistently think how I can solve it and tend to worry about it even when I practice singing or dancing. I need to know about myself well so I monitor myself a lot. I tried to be open to all criticisms that's why I'm able to maintain my composure more than 1st album"
- What does 2PM mean to Junho?
"A liberal group. I don't have members who I don't like. Everyone is like a family, it's the freedom. Although we're all men, we haven't had a fight, hit or beaten each other. Still we have to spend time together more."
- Since when did you want to become a singer?
"When I was at elementary school, after watching 'The fairy Commy' I had a thought of becoming an actor. My dream kept changing from pilot, baseball player, basketball player to swimmer when I talked to my mother she wouldn't listen much. I went to a drama school for high school. At my first year, as I had been learning about drama for half a year, I started singing as well. And then there was an audition for Super Star Survival. From 6500 persons, luckily I happened to win the 1st place. That's why I got to join 2PM."
-Do you think what is the reason that makes nuna fans get crazy over 2PM?
"Because there's not much singers who sweat on the stage much like us? (laughs) Seems like the time that girls think guys sexy is when we dance and sweat. We have a sexy appeal of men maybe it's the reason why nuna fans like us."
-I think this is my charm…
"Smiley eyes? (laughs) nothing special."
-From my point of view, my weak point is…
"Like I mentioned earlier, I tend to have many worries inside which makes me receive a lot of stress. To get rid of it, I'll have delicious meals or play games with members at dorm"
- It looks like the passion of the team is suitable for the name 2PM
"We and 2AM came out as project groups. For 2AM, this team was built for soothing ballad like 2 a.m., it's the time to listen to sensitive songs while 2PM presents energetic songs. Because 2 p.m. is the hottest time of the day."
-What do you usually do at 2 p.m.?
"It depends, mostly being in the car or on standby. Ah, recently I replaced Park Myung Soo for One-day DJ. It's a very meaningful experience."
-Who was the member who studied well?
"It must be Taecyeon. I don't know exactly how the others members' grades were but Taecyeon said that before coming here, all he did in Boston was studying so it looks like he will study well"
-How is your real look different from what has been shown on TV?
"My image was created to be an unfunny person, honestly I'm a person who can make you roar with laughter. Not that I don't have a sense of humor, it's just a character that has been made. Is it because I'm only good at insulting jokes so I look like that?(laughs)"
- The secret of taking care of your body
"Working out steadily for about 1-2 hours every day. Usually I go to health club and set up meal plans."
- If you weren't a singer, what do you think you would be right now?
"Maybe I'd be just a normal student. However since I can't study well, I'd love to major in drama which I was interested in when I was in high school."
-What is the advice that President Park Jin Young always gives?
"He said 'Don't overdo it' and it was fine to do something funny as well as to show our true selves on variety shows but on music ones he asked us to always present serious looks and be moderate in all things. Actually, I used to get scolded by President Park Jin Young. It was the debut day, at last stage everybody came onto the stage to have last words,I said it with frisky look."

How come my world is changing now?
As of this morning, sadly, our dearest 2PM leader, Park Jaebeom has officially left the Beasty Idols.
Park Jaebeom's decision has been officially posted on the fan cafe of 2PM with JYP Entertainment's confirmation of his departure from 2PM. His flight back to the US is reportedly set today at 6:30 pm (KST). Surely Korean and international fans are absolutely in the state of shock although there has been rumors of replacement in the group, canceled 2PM activities, and posted petitions both to push for his complete elimination from 2PM and to garner support for keeping him with the rest of the members.
This unfortunate event reveals a number of issues that circulates fandom, society and the music industry:
One, Jaebeom's posts on his Myspace account four years ago showed that past doings, may it be good or bad or unconsciously done or thought to be forgotten or laid to rest, may possibly resurface in the most unguarded moments. Excessive fandom that hunts the past, present and future plans and any activities related to the idols are expected to be dug up --- no matter how cruel or good natured may they be. Reasons of immaturity and lack or sense of responsibility are deemed weak since age does not relate to one's level of maturity to know what is impolite and improper. Also, privacy even for our idols who live public lives must be respected by both fans and anti-fans.
Two, reading his past Myspace comments may at first garner disgust which is only normal as his comments were cited with words that seemed inappropriate, impolite or insensitive socially and culturally. Thus, it is not surprising for a public uproar for his carelessness. However, this happened four years ago and as Jay Park has explained in his apology, he has changed this past years and learned a lot from his experiences. Netizens like their idols must keep in mind that they too undergo emotional problems like normal people do.
Three, this is related to the previous that is, netizens must also gauge their reactions towards their idols' mistakes or mishaps. Although this issue is culturally sensitive, it is still unjustifiable to demand that their idol who has done mistake must commit suicide. Demanding suicide is blatantly unethical and rude. Death can never resolve mistakes, it only adds fuel to the fire because it will not strike at the heart of the problem. This kind of petitions are weak masks used to cover up hatred but does not conjure any equitable solution to the problem.
Fourth, apologies might have been said but sincere apologies equals accountability. This does not mean completely forgetting the incident (although some supportive fans argue that they love the leader so much that it is enough to forgive and forget). 2PM leader has apologized sincerely and we as rational beings must accept it. The next step is to prove sincerity and heartfelt reflection on the misdeed done. On the other side, netizens must be vigilant that their idols are responsible enough. But accountability should never mean death from someone because this is unjust and against human's right to life.
Fifth,netizens' uproar demonstrates the extreme case of fandom which can be injurious.Also,this shows the flaws of the entertainment companies and idols themselves who knew all along the kind of fandom environment and must be keen enough to be mindful of their deeds since even past actions have recurring effect in the future.
Thus, I think Park's departure from 2PM is an early move in the midst of heated demands from the netizens. I suggest that the group should have let the issue wane down a little longer, like the cancellation of their activities.Although this is difficult since the netizens' next steps are uncertain and might be worse, staying calm and prudent at times of too much friction is good enough.To display sincerity, Park on his side must show how truly sorry he was by reaching out to his fans, like any good deed such as donations to communities etc.This is not building hypocritical image but a way of cleaning one's self by showing how deeply committed he/she is to do good things. Also, we must remember that idols and netizens alike must be just in their actions and decisions since everyone as a human being is entitled to express his/her thoughts freely but responsibly. Wrong deed can never be solved by another mistake.
Much lessons can be learned from this incident. If both idols and the netizens reflect and understand equitably the whole situation, both camps will gain and correct the imperfections of a crazy fandom syndrome and at the end be beneficial for the society.
I hope Park Jaebeom's departure is not the end of this dilemma because I hope that the other camp of the netizens will likewise be liable enough to the post-incident effects. What I mean is that the side of 2PM has partaken on their responsibility which means that the other side, that is the netizens who have displayed improper decorum, must also be responsible enough. If the public is brave and quick to correct the misdeeds of their idols, the society must also at the same time be equally assertive in correcting the misdeed of some rude netizens. Fandom is a colorful culture which may break or embellish the industry since the fans are the consumers who create demands and support. But fandom is also a mutual relationship between the idols who market themselves and the netizens who support them.
I hope for the best for Park Jaebeom and the netizens' enlightenment. 2PM, let's go!
I totally agree with you on statement # 5. also thank you for posting this,. I'm sure Dearest Park Jaebom will reflectt on these events and will get strength from the outpouring support of his loyal fans and the love of his family specially his MOM. Thebest always for JAY>
on line
This is crazy... I support Jay all the way.. people just dont seem to understand.. come on really it was 4 year ago.. is it really a big deal.. get over it.. be strong Jay..
i seriously hate netizens...it happened 4 years ago and he was once a bad kid undergoing a lot ov pressure but lot can change in those 4 years and he has become a better person...he left holding his head high as a leader and doing "what he thought" was rite...by leaving his members...coz stupid neitzens would probly blame the members ov 2PM..seriously netizens acting like they haven't made mistakes before pffttt yea rite
one way--------->

Head Coach Cameron Rast on Ballouchy: "Mehdi is really one of the special players in the college game this year. Tactically and technically, he is ahead of all the best in college soccer at this point. I think has the ability to impact a game like few players in college can. When looked at our team two years ago in the College Cup, Mehdi was the one player we were missing. We knew that then. He was on campus, redshirting, at the time. When you speak about players who can win you a national championship, you speak about players like Mehdi Ballouchy. We know that he has a lot of creativity and ability, but maybe some of the things that gets overlooked is the fact that he may work the hardest of any player on our team in terms of his workrate on the field. There is no question that his ability on both sides of the ball are a big factor in why we are in the NCAA Tournament. Mehdi has been a good leader for us and a player we didn't have two years ago"

Bart Jacobs needed a new button or icon design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 87 designs submitted by 24 freelance designers.
I'm an indie iOS/Mac developer passionate about solving complex problems with a simple solution. My motto is "Sratch your own itch!" and that is exactly why my products rock.
I am looking for a designer that is creative and does not only do the job that he or she is asked to do. Input from the designer is essential for me as the designer is best at what he does (I am a coder after all).
What is this about?
My iPad application, Tagalicious, imports images from Aperture and lets the user rate the images on their iPad. The ratings can then be synced back to Aperture. This provides a solution for photographers who don't want to spend hours and hours in front of their computer screen sorting through images.
My requirements are twofold:
1 - I am looking for a clean, crisp iPad application icon. I especially like the style of these designs:
In short, the design shouldn't be too complex and cluttered. It should have a 3D aspect to it and reflect the purpose of the product or at least hint to its function.
2 - Because Tagalicious communicates with your Mac for importing images, I have developed a helper application that runs on the Mac. For this I am looking for an icon that is almost identical to the iPad icon, but it needs to be compliant with Mac OS X UI. In other words, iPad/iPhone icons need to be square and opaque, whereas Mac OS X icons can have transparency in the background (take the iTunes icon as an example, square on iPad, round on Mac OS X).
IMPORTANT: All artwork needs to be original!

Horseplay at Florida polo clubs
by Lori Capullo
Posted 5/10/2013
Sarasota Polo Club
Polo matches were first played on this site when two of the property's executives, President John Clark and Vice President Clive Morris, joined the cowboys who worked the ranch in knock-around games during breaks. In 1991, it was incarnated as the Sarasota Polo Club, and today encompasses nine polo fields across 130 acres, two stick-and-ball fields, and 35 private ranches. During polo season, more than 600 horses are stabled in and around the club. "We're seeing a big surge in our polo school," says polo manager Rebecca Gutierrez. "Probably by the time this season is done, we will have doubled the number of students coming through." She adds, "Our dynamic is older, settled, and they want to do something fun and exciting."
Learn to Play: Novices and experts can play here. "People usually love it from the beginning, even if they're afraid to be on the back of a horse," says the club's Leah Elliott. "We even have wooden horses to help you get over your fear of the real ones."
The Lay of the Land: The club has nine all-grass fields, but students start in the walled, open-air arena, which is regulation size, with three players at a time and shorter chuckers (time periods). "Basically, time periods are shortened so novices don't fatigue so easily," says Elliott. "Since the arena has walls, the balls don't go out of bounds and students can control the horses better."
Cost: $100 an hour for private lessons. The first lesson is to evaluate riding skills, then you can join a group, which is recommended so you can practice scrimmaging; group lessons run $85 per hour.
The Villages Polo Club
The Villages
With 30,000 spectators a year, The Villages counts itself as one of the best-attended polo clubs in the country. The facilities include three boarded Bermuda fields, new barns and an elevated three-level stadium. The Villages says it has seen a steady increase in students each year. "Lessons are definitely popular again, especially since the economy has started coming back," says director of polo Stuart Campbell, a South African native who is a former player and 15-year instructor. "I definitely get a lot of older people, but we also get school kids who love horses and whose parents can afford it. This is not a poor man's sport."
Learn to Play: Newbies are started off with individual lessons. How quickly a student advances to playing games is contingent on his or her riding skills.
Cost: $100 an hour for one-on-one tutorials with Campbell; once students graduate to playing games, the horses can be rented for $150 per chucker. All equipment necessary for lessons is included in that price. "All you need to have is a pair of jeans," says Campbell.
International Polo Club Palm Beach
Celebrating its 10th anniversary as one of the world's most famous polo clubs, International Polo Club is where prestigious matches such as the USPA Piaget Gold Cup and the USPA Maserati 109th U.S. Open Polo Championship are played, and the stars come out in droves to watch. IPC offers entry-level polo matches with rated players participating as coaches, plus weekend packages that include the Sunday brunch and game tickets. Also available: Weekend memberships, which include day privileges to the pool, spa, tennis program, golf courses and restaurants.
Cost: The price varies based on length of lesson, the student's horsemanship ability and other factors. Director of polo operations Jimmy Newman estimates that an introductory lesson costs about $250.

Author Notes: As a sibling of someone with severe food allergies and as a dear friend of someone with celiac disease, this week's contest really piqued my interest. In the past, it has been a challenge coming up with baked gluten free desserts that do not substitute products containing nuts for wheat products (My sister is deathly allergic to all nuts and nut oils). This creation, inspired by the holiday Bûche de Noél, was the result of having an ample supply of lemons and freshly picked blackberries, and the need to put together a tangy, lightly sweetened, perfect summer dessert. - Sydney —Sydney
Food52 Review: I had a bowl of Meyer lemons begging to be used in this recipe, which turned out to be incredibly simple and delicious. The lemon curd came together beautifully and the sponge cake was quick and easy -- and who doesn't love quick and easy? Light and lusciously lemony, this is a definite summer keeper. - foodfanatic —foodfanatic
Serves: 6-8
Lemon Cream Filling with Fresh Berries
tablespoons unsalted butter
cup sugar
cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 large
2 large
egg yolks
tablespoons lemon zest
pinch salt
1 1/2
cups cream
cup ripe summer berries (I used the teeny, wild blackberries that grow around my house)
Sponge Cake
4 large
eggs, separated
cup sugar
teaspoons lemon zest
teaspoon vanilla extract
teaspoon salt
cup cornstarch
- Make the filling: Cream butter, sugar, and salt until combined (it's too dry to really cream).
- Add eggs and yolks, then add lemon juice (it may look curdled but don't worry).
- Cook the mixture over medium heat until thickened and silky, stirring constantly (about 10-15 minutes). Do not boil. To test it's readiness do the spoon test: stir the mixture with a wooden spoon and draw a line with your finger on the back of the spoon- if the line keeps its shape, it's ready.
- Strain, add zest, and press plastic wrap to the surface to cover. Chill in the fridge until no longer warm.
- Whip the heavy cream in a stand mixer just until it holds stiff peaks. Fold 1/4 of the cream into the lemon mixture folding gently. Gradually add the rest and fold just until incorporated. Luscious lemon filling is done :) Keep chilled until ready to use!
- Sponge Cake: Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease a jelly roll pan or cookie sheet with a non-stick spray. cover the greased pan with a full sheet of parchment paper and spray again.
- Beat egg whites, salt, and 1/4 cup of the sugar until stiff. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat yolks, remaining sugar, zest, and vanilla until the yolks are thick and pale.
- Stir 1/3 of the whites into yolk mixture to lighten it. Fold in remaining whites.
- Sift cornstarch onto the cake batter and gently fold in until combined. Pour the batter into the greased pan and spread it evenly to the pan's edges with an offset spatula.
- Bake in the middle of the oven for 6-8 minutes until lightly colored and the cake starts to pull away from the sides of the pan.
- Have a clean dishtowel ready. Open it neatly on the counter. Sprinkle lightly with powdered sugar. Invert the pan right onto the cloth, leaving the parchment on the inverted side. Using the cloth to help, gently roll up the cake on it's long side (parchment, cloth and all) and let cool.
- Assembly: Gently unroll the cake and discard the parchment paper. spread the filling on the cake, leaving a particularly thick ridge along the edge that the cake will be rolled up from first. Use the filling more sparingly near the opposite end so that the filling does not ooze out once it's all rolled up. Sprinkle with berries and roll up with the help of the cloth. Place on serving platter and chill until ready to serve. Decorate with fresh berries and/or candied lemon peel for serving. Enjoy :)

Go Here: Foamhenge in Virginia
While a trip across the pond might be cost-prohibitive, fear not! You can still experience the grandeur of Stonehenge (plus a lot of weirdness and wizard statues) in Natural Bridge, VA.
Foamhenge is a full-sized, styrofoam replica of Stonehenge located on a picturesque hill in rural Virginia, on the border of W. Virginia. It was created by fiberglass sculptor and 'roadside visionary' Mark Cline, who is a total awesome weirdo genius. (Example: he named his home 'Enchanted Castle Studios'.)
Though the original Stonehenge was made of stone and took Druids over 1500 years to build, the foam replica was constructed in 10 days. It is an exact copy, down to the astronomically correction positions of each stone. Since one of the theories of how Stonehenge was formed involved Merlin the wizard there is a statue of him on the grounds, which is an awesome addition:
You'll be surprised and horrified to know that due to the non-biodegradeable nature of styrofoam, Foamhenge will most likely last longer than the original. It's also very well constructed: each block is set into a hole in the ground and anchored with cement, with a 2.5 inch pipe running all the way through; sort of a larger-scale version of the way dentists anchor false teeth into the jaw. Shiver. The signs Mark made to protect his art are also hilarious:
Cline describes Foamhenge as his greatest acheivement, and we don't disagree. This entire area of Western Virginia -- surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains and minutes from Natural Bridge -- is worth a trip, but this place is not not be missed.
