Is Libya run by Islamists?

Confused about the dynamic there. Their leader is apologizing for the death of the ambassador. Feel like an Islamist would not apologize.

First of all there is no such thing as 'islamist' this is the construct of an ignorant idiot media.
Islam means submission to God
Muslim means one who submits to God
Mu+Islam = Muslim
In arabic the prefix mu is ascribing to something.
Athan/Azan (the prior more correct spelling) = call to prayer
Muezzin/Mu'adhdhin = one who calls to prayer
Secondly for the last two hundred years, Muslim lands were under occupation and oppression by colonialist British, French, Italian, Spanish and Dutch. America took over that role and for the last 50+ years has been imposing secular dictatorships and tyrants. Military rulers.
The uprisings in the muslim countries is by Muslims. We follow Islam. Some are weaker in faith, some are stronger in faith. Some are less practice than others but they are all Muslims and ultimately would want to rule their lives and way of life by islam.
Islam is a way of life. It is not a 'religion' that it is a bunch of rituals while you live your life any way you want by your desires as a lot of christians tend to do. Go clubbing then the next day go to church. Complete contradiction.
Muslims are to be ruled by a caliphate that lives by God's law not by his desires or his own desire of power and wealth.
The first four rightly guided caliphs are the right example. They sacrificed everything of themselves to serve the Muslim ummah (nation). They did not wield power to serve their own interests or eat of the wealth of the community. They lived poor, they died poor. They did not live in extravangece. Everything that came after was gradual corruption until Muslims became so weak that they abandoned Islam and hence the down fall. God says in the qur'an hold onto the rope of Allah so that you are succesfull.
The US however doesn't want the muslim world united, so it imposes weak rulers, dictators and now so called 'democracies'. Puppets.
The british did the same thing during the 'great game' who could conquer more land and divide more land. They had a tactic of divide and conquer. Instilling nationalism, materialism amongst the arabs. Waking up ancient tribal ties, nationalistic and ethnic prides. While the knowledge of islam weakened and people were merely then following culture and not following islam.

When Muhammad (pbuh) passed away. No body wanted to take his place as a successor. That's another trait of caliphates. They do not RUN to power, they run away from it and fear it's responsibility unlike the leaders of today.
The Muslims had a shura (consultation) amongst themselves to decide who is best fit to lead the Muslim nation. There were a few discussions but ultimately Abu Bakr was chosen after a few evidences from Muhammad's own speech before he died made him worthy of it. He refused to take any wealth from the muslims and he died poor. He was not poor before islam, in fact he used his wealth to free slaves that the arabs were torturing and make them free men. As pre-islamic arabia had an abundance of slavery and Islam encouraged the freeing of slaves.
The allowance that was forced upon him (from muslim wealth) on his dying death bed he repaid even by saying I do not want to be left with any debt in this world. What property he had (land with orchards) he said give this to the muslim community so that i am free of debt before I meet my lord.
After him came Umar ibn Al khattab. Who was so fearful of taking power but ultimately did. He was a very tough person and people feared that he would be tough on them. He turned out to be tough on those who are unjust but like a baby (soft) in front of those that are just. His whole goal was to remind himself to be merciful to people. He would even question where his food came from. If the milk came from a camel that belonged to the muslim community he would get angry. He refused an allowance. Until his wife and family said they are living so poorly since you became the ruler. So the muslims forced him to take allowance as well. He asked for only two pairs of cloths for day and two for night.
When a roman emissary came to check on 'who is this leader of the muslims'. He came and asked where is your emperor. The muslim pointed to Umar sleeping under a tree during mid day. He asked does he not have guards or a palace? He returned to the roman emperor and reported this. He said something along the lines of these people we will not be able to defeat.
After him came uthman and after came Ali. between the period of Uthman and Ali there was a dispute and fighting, however it was settled. There were certain hypocrites who plotted to undermine Islam and Muslims. They tried to spread rumors and cause problems.
It was an unfortunate set of events. After that however there was no more authentic caliphate, it started being sultanates. From thereon come the shi'a ('the party') as well. They forged their religion after Ali passed away and his descendants. They turned it into a religion of mourning of their death and various other innovations. They make absurd claims about Ali having knowledge of the unseen, equal to God, etc... all blasphemous beliefs. Which Ali is free of, they invented. Lastly they also CURSE and CONDEMN pretty much ALL the companions of the prophet as heading to the hellfire. They hate even the wife of the prophet Aisha, they hate Umar, they hate Abu Bakr, they hate Uthman. They are messed up.
Sunnis derive from the term sunnah. Which means following the prophet's way and they are the majority today.

The reality is that just like everyone is a crazy bible belt christian in politics in the US, everyone in Libya, including their leader, isn't some crazy kook Muslim.

Tom Thibodeau made phrases like "do your job" and "we have more than enough to win" part of the lexicon during his five-season stint as Bulls coach.
So his decision to steer toward the high road, stay true to his beliefs and make no excuses despite his May 28 dismissal shouldn't surprise, particularly since the Bulls are paying him for two more seasons unless he lands another NBA job.
"I have no regrets," Thibodeau said following USA Basketball's light Tuesday practice on the UNLV campus.
Over a 15-minute interview, his first with Chicago-area reporters since team Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf released a scathing statement about Thibodeau's...

Got a minute? Then I've got a retirement plan for you.
1:00: Picture your perfect retirement
Start with the easy stuff -- pick a temperate locale that will serve as the setting for your post-employment, Jacuzzi-soakin', catnap-takin' golden years. Answer this basic question: When do you want to retire? How many years away is that? (OK, that's two questions, but at least the math is easy.)
0:55: Price it out
Sure, it's easy to see yourself living the retirement high life. Figuring out what it will cost to actually do that is another thing. If you start pricing it out now, you won't experience sticker shock when your old ticker isn't as strong. Don't think of this as a lugubrious budget -- consider it a "pre-spending spree."
0:48: Shirk the savings responsibility
Now that you're done with your fake shopping, it's time to plunk down some Monopoly money. How much of your own dough will you need to fund your future? Here's a simple way to figure out how your retirement tab will be divided among Social Security, your pension, and other sources of retirement income.
0:40: Face reality, but "pretty it up" a little
After you pick yourself up off the floor and take a hit from your daughter's inhaler, revisit that figure you just calculated. Remember, you have a few years to come up with the dough, so do some fancy math and break down the gargantuan number to a more reasonable monthly sum. Think you can invest that much on a monthly basis? (That was rhetorical, by the way.)
0:26: Hide your assets from yourself
How do I manage to sock away 15% of my monthly pay? By hiding it from my greedy self. It's easy to siphon money from your current, less mature self to your future, more refined self: Have your contributions taken directly from your paycheck, and/or have money automatically transferred from your bank account to your retirement accounts. Once you fill out the right paperwork, you'll find that it's easy to make saving for the future downright mechanical. Your future self will thank you.
0:19: Keep as much as possible away from Uncle Sam
Take advantage of accounts such as IRAs, 401(k)s, SEPs, and XYZPDQs (OK, we're kidding on that last one) that offer tax savings. More for you, less for Uncle Sam. Contribute the maximum allowable amounts that you can. If your employer matches the contribution you make to your plan, make sure you grab that free money. Opening an IRA can be done, well, PDQ -- we've timed it.
0:11: Put the plan into action
Now that you know what you have to do, go out and do it. Open that IRA, boost the contributions to your 401(k), cut back on your spending, increase your portfolio returns -- whatever you think you need to do to retire in the style to which you aspire. Yes, do it now.
0:05: Retiring soon? Showoff!
If you're 10 or fewer years from retirement (you lucky devils), you have a few extra considerations. In particular, start thinking about things like safer investments, withdrawal rates from your retirement accounts, and taxes. Let the Fools at Rule Your Retirement check your math. And save a piece of retirement cake for your favorite Fool writer.

(Reuters) - Best Buy Co Inc reported lackluster sales in the first quarter and warned that efforts to entice shoppers could squeeze profits in the near term.
The news overshadowed its better-than-expected, first-quarter profit and sent shares of the world's largest consumer electronics chain down 4 percent on Tuesday.
Under Chief Executive Officer Hubert Joly, who took the helm last fall, it has been matching rivals' online prices, dedicating more in-store space to faster-growing products such as smartphones and tablets, and investing in employee training and revamping stores.
Joly has also removed layers of management, cut jobs, closed some underperforming stores and decided to shed non-core assets such as its stake in a European joint venture with Carphone Warehouse Group to lower costs.
The results showed Best Buy might need to cut costs further to compete more effectively with the likes of Wal-Mart Stores and Amazon.com.
"The company has plenty of fat to cut, which management can then reinvest into improved price competitiveness; upgrading its e-commerce capabilities; and better customer service," BB&T Capital Markets analyst Anthony Chukumba wrote.
On a conference call, Joly told investors that Best Buy has taken a host of steps to boost its online traffic and sales. It has invested in targeted marketing and added more relevant product recommendations.
The retailer plans to invest more to make its website easier to navigate and replace its decade-old search platform with one that will produce more relevant results.
Best Buy's financial chief, Sharon McCollam, said she did not expect any financial benefits from the new platform for bestbuy.com until the next financial year, which begins on February 1, 2015.
"While many of these online initiatives may sound like just basic functionality upgrades, they are actually game changing for an online retailer of our size as we have historically underinvested in the online channel," Joly said.
Some critics have in the past complained that Best Buy had become a showroom for Amazon.com Inc and other online chains as shoppers go to its stores to check out electronic items like televisions, but then buy them elsewhere for less.
Best Buy expects that to change as Amazon starts collecting sales tax in more states by the end of the financial year January 2014.
"In states that are already collecting we're seeing an incremental benefit in our online and retail store sales," Joly said on Tuesday.
Critics of Amazon argued it had an unfair advantage because brick-and-mortar retailers, including Best Buy, Wal-Mart and Target, have had to collect state sales tax on online sales for years because they have stores and other physical operations in these locations.
The U.S. Senate voted overwhelmingly earlier this month to give states the power to enforce sales tax laws on online purchases, but the legislation faces a tougher fight in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives.
Best Buy's net earnings from continuing operations fell to $97 million, or 29 cents a share, from $169 million, or 49 cents a share, a year earlier. Excluding restructuring charges but including Europe, it earned 36 cents a share, above the analysts estimate of 25 cents, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Its sales fell 9.6 percent to $9.38 billion. Sales at stores open at least 14 months fell 1.3 percent, including declines domestically and internationally.
Best Buy tied the revenue weakness partly to a shift in the timing of Super Bowl-related sales. Football's Super Bowl took place on February 3, when the first quarter began, so pre-game sales of big-screen televisions happened in the fourth quarter.

Font Designed To Help Dyslexic Individuals Gets Legal Threat, Becomes More Open In Response
from the dyslexics-unite dept
Thanks to TechnoMage, we learn that New Hampshire-based mobile app designer Abelardo Gonzalez had created a font that is easier for those with dyslexia to read books and websites, but it ended up facing some legal threats from a competing font designer. First off, we have a little background on the font.
The plight of dyslexic individuals served as inspiration to Abelardo Gonzalez, a New Hampshire-based mobile app designer, who devised a clever font to help dyslexics read digital text easier.Along with creating this font, Abelardo had released an app for iPhone and Android devices that allows those device owners to override the default font wherever it is used and replace it with this font. Other app developers had also started using it as an alternative font. Even e-reader makers Sony and Amazon have taken interest. Unfortunately, this kind of greater access is not something to celebrate if you are trying to market a more expensive font to the same demographic.
The font, dubbed "OpenDyslexic", employs a trick in which the bottoms of characters are weighted. Curiously some dyslexic individuals visual processing cortexes rotate images that look slender, making characters appear backwards or upside down. By making the bottom look "heavier" the font reportedly reduces this kind of visual "bug" in the brains of people with this disability.
He relates that he was contacted by font designer Christian Boer (who sells an alternative font called dyslexie for $69 USD per "single-use" license) to "cease and desist" early during his process.
At the time he was charging a nominal fee and did reuse some bitstream-vera-sans characters as the basis for his font. Bitstream-vera-sans' license explicitly allows derivative fonts to be sold (free of fee to the bitstream font creators), however, Mr. Boer was claiming that the offense occurred due to the fact that Mr. Gonzalez had changed the (free) font in a similar way as he had. By all appearances the real issue was that Mr. Gonzalez was offering it for far cheaper than Mr. Boer.
As someone with two dyslexic brothers, I am glad that there are people out there trying to make the world of text easier on them. Had my mother had access to a font like Abelardo's or Boer's, she probably would have had an easier time teaching them throughout school. Perhaps if the school systems that had abandoned my brothers had access to one of these fonts, they probably would have had an easier time teaching them and many others.
As we move into a more electronic world in which the ability to switch out fonts and make other changes to support the visually impaired becomes more accessible, we can provide a better solution to those who need the additional help. Unfortunately, if more people like Boer and legacy publishers get their way, such tools will be locked away behind expensive paywalls, decreasing the value and accessibility to those who truly need them.

Panagia Paramythea
Panagia Paramythia the Mother of Consolation is a 17th century miraculous icon of the Virgin Mary from the holy and great Monastery of Vatopaidi, Mount Athos, Greece.
History of the icon
Tradition tells of this icon that the original expression on the faces of the figures and position of the bodies of Christ and the Blessed Virgin changed when the following strange miracle occurred: when pirates had secretly landed on the shore of the Monastery and were hiding, waiting for the gates to open in the morning in order to launch an attack, the Abbot, who had remained behind alone after the end of Matins in order to continue his prayer, heard these words from the icon of the Blessed Virgin: "Do not open the gates of the Monastery today, but go up on the walls and drive away the pirates." As he turned to look, he saw the Holy child stretch out His hand and cover the mouth of His mother, saying, "No, Mother, let them be punished as they deserve." But the Blessed Virgin, taking Her Son's hand in Hers and turning Her head a little to free her mouth, repeated the same words. This last arrangement of the figures has remained permanently on the icon. The monks, miraculously saved from the pirates, gave thanks to the Theotokos and named this icon "Paramythia," which means "calming down" or "restrain," words which equally convey the content of the miracle. The icon is a wall-painting and is on the right choir of the chapel named after it. [1]

The Department of Education (DepEd) is all set to administer the National Career Assessment Examination (NCAE) to all third year students of public and private schools on August 29, 2012.
NCAE 2012 is an aptitude test geared toward providing information through test results for self-assessment, career awareness and career guidance of high school students for their post-secondary courses and application for scholarship. The NCAE test is mandatory and held annually usually in August.
NCAE 2012 Format and Coverage
NCAE is a paper and pencil test using multiple choices format, on scannable answer sheets which can be checked electronically. NCAE also measures a senior high school student's potentials or inclination in such areas as general scholastic aptitude (GSA), technical vocational aptitude (TVA), entrepreneurial skills, nonverbal ability and occupational interest. The test components are:
- Scientific Ability
- Mathematical Ability
- Reading Comprehension
- Verbal Ability
- Manipulative Skills
- Clerical Ability
- Non-Verbal Ability
- Entrepreneurial skills
NCAE Results
NCAE result is a requirement in college but still recommendatory in nature. There is still no passage of law that makes the NCAE mandatory prior to enrollment in college/university. NCAE results will give the students and the parents an idea on the career path most suited to the graduating students thus, allowing for better decision on their choice of courses. Usually results are releases 3-4 months after the exam.
What is NCAE?
The NCAE was developed to improve the quality of secondary education graduates entering college. It aims to maintain the highest quality of education in the Philippines by leading the flow of students to courses in post-secondary institutions of learning matching their aptitude to promote national development.
Commonly Asked Questions
1. Why was NCAE created and what are its objectives?
• minimize indiscriminate wastage of manpower and other resources which otherwise could be directed towards more productive ventures, i.e. supplying manpower needs of vocational, agricultural, technical, and entrepreneurial fields.
• assess the abilities the students has developed through the years which are essential for successful college or becoming an entrepreneur.
• serve as basis for the selection of scholars in the Commission on Higher Education's (CHED) scholarship program.
2. Is NCAE a pre-requisite for entry to college?
• recommendatory in nature for the first two years, i.e. to guide each examinee in choosing which course or career option to take after high school. This is the second year of its implementation.
• On its third year of implementation subject to the passing of an appropriate law, the NCAE will be a prerequisite for enrolment in any four- or five-year college and university courses as well as in two-year vocational/technological courses and other short entrepreneurial courses
3. How often will the NCAE be administered?
• August every year to all third year high school students in public and private secondary schools.
4. Who are covered by the NCAE?
• Third year high school students in public schools
• Third year high school students in private schools with existing permit to operate from DepEd .
• Out-of-school youths applying for CHED scholarship in coordination with DepEd Regional Offices.
5. Is NCAE different from NCEE?
• Both are general scholastic aptitude tests
• Both intend to measure the potential or inclination of a senior high school
• NCAE is different for having three additional domains: technical-vocational aptitude and entrepreneurial skills; and interest inventory and nonverbal ability
6. How will NCAE guide graduating students and their parents in determining the career track they should take?
• results of the three domains of the test namely: General Scholastic Aptitude, Technical-Vocational Aptitude, and Entrepreneurial Skills intend to provide information to help outgoing high school students make wise career decisions.
• interest inventory shows the inclinations of the students in a particular occupational field.
• The test results will validate the previously thought career choice by showing the student's strengths and weaknesses in the aforementioned domains.
7. How have the parents responded to the results of the exam? Are they willing to follow the results of the exam in the planning of their children's careers?
• No survey has been conducted as of this time
• There, however, exists public affirmation of the implementation of the NCAE as it is regarded useful in minimizing job mismatch in the world of work.
8. Given the results of the exam, will these results change policy directions of DepEd in its focus on the basic education curriculum?
• Based on the results of the NCAE, majority of our high school graduates have inclinations toward technical-vocational (tech-voc) occupations. The strengthening of 261 tech-voc high schools being carried out by DepEd undergo improvement in their curriculum, training, physical and policy support. The results validate DepEd's decision to put great stress on the tech-voc program, that is, to equip high school students with technical-vocational skills that can empower them to find meaningful employment, whether or not they pursue college education.
• The tech-voc curriculum is being aligned with the training regulations of the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA). This will allow tech-voc high school graduates to acquire TESDA.
• It is also DepEd's goal to improve the abilities of students in the general scholastic domain.
9. How can the results of the exam help solve the problem of job mismatch?
• DepEd desires to minimize, if not avoid, career mismatch among high school students entering college. With the results of the NCAE, the students will be directed to occupational fields where they would be potentially productive.
10. What does DepEd plan for NCAE in the future?
• passage of appropriate law to make the test result serve as a prerequisite for enrolment in any four- or five-year college and university courses as well as in two-year vocational/technological courses and other short entrepreneurial courses.

LYNCHBURG, VA – The ninth-ranked Lynchburg College men's lacrosse team controlled the second half of play Saturday night as the Hornets defeated #4 Stevenson University (MD) 6-3 in non-conference play. The LC defense held the visitors scoreless for the last 41:57 of the contest and forced 27 turnovers.
The Mustangs opened the scoring at the 10:42 mark as Andrew Bishop found the back of the net. Junior attack Pat Ohrem evened the score just before the end of the quarter on an assist from senior attack Dylan Hoff. Junior midfielder Max Voumard gave the Hornets a 2-1 lead 30 seconds into the second period, but SU's Andrew Bishop answered to tie the score again. Nick Rossi put the Mustangs ahead 3-2 with 11:57 left, and neither team would score the remainder of the first half.
Senior midfielder Matt Manzo scored an unassisted goal to tie the game at three all at 10:18 of the third quarter, and the game remained knotted until late in the period. Hoff scored from senior attack Ben Sauer and Vin Curran followed with an unassisted tally, and LC took a 5-3 lead into the fourth. Senior midfielder Chase Loetz added an insurance goal one minute into the final frame on an extra-man opportunity. The LC defense kept Stevenson off the board for the remainder of the game, including fighting off a Mustang two-man advantage midway through the fourth.
Hoff was the only Hornet with multiple points, posting a goal and an assist. Bishop had two scores for Stevenson and Ian Bolland made 10 saves for SU (4-1). Senior keeper Franc Cook made seven stops for LC, including three in the final period. Senior midfielder Matt Jernack won nine of his 12 face-off attempts and junior defender Joe Lisicky caused four turnovers and scooped a team-high seven ground balls.
The Hornets (4-1) host McDaniel College Wednesday at 7 p.m.

Currently, the only driver that supports kernel-based mode-setting is a special branch of the open source Intel video driver, and the only distribution that supports this new method of mode-setting is Fedora 9, of which a peview has been released (review). There is an effort under way to port the Radeon driver to kernel-based mode-setting too.
Phoronix explains the benefits of kernel-based mode-setting:
In addition to the above, the feature will also improve the debugging experience as graphical error messages can be displayed on the screen prior to the launch of the X server. You will also get a flicker-free graphical boot process, as the video mode needs to be set only once, instead of numerous times as is the case now (when the boot process starts and again when the X server finally loads).
Phoronix concludes that while still in its early stages, kernel-based mode setting will greatly improve the desktop Linux experience.

Alarm again raised over lack of Buffalo teacher evaluation plan
Superintendent Pamela C. Brown on Wednesday renewed her call for Buffalo Teachers Federation President Philip Rumore to return to the negotiating table to reach an agreement on teacher evaluations.
The district has already lost millions of dollars in various types of aid because of the lack of an evaluation plan, she said, and it stands to lose tens of millions more if a plan is not in place and approved by the state by Jan. 17. The total amount at stake, she said, is $59 million.
"We have lost different amounts of money, and in each case, millions of dollars each time," she told the School Board. "Two days from now, that amount will be $26 million the district will have lost as a result of not having this [annual professional performance review] plan."
Later, after the board meeting, Brown said $17 million of that – school improvement grant funds for nine schools – could still be retrieved if the district and the union reach an approved plan by Jan. 17.
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo earlier this year said districts must have an approved evaluation plan in place by that date, or they would lose this year's increase in state aid. For Buffalo, that works out to $33.4 million.
The state Education Department has told school officials across New York that they should submit their plans at least four to six weeks prior to the deadline to allow time for the state to review them and for districts to make any changes that might be necessary.
Brown told the board that if the district loses tens of millions in aid, the district will be forced to lay off hundreds of people midyear.
"Is it possible to use the monies we have set aside to settle the contract to keep those teachers on until the end of the year?" at-large board member Florence Johnson asked, echoing the thoughts of several board members.
The teachers contract expired eight years ago. The district has set aside more than $70 million to cover salary increases once the contract is renegotiated.
Board members agreed to discuss at more length during future meetings the possibility of dipping into those funds to cover aid the district loses if there is no evaluation plan in place by the deadline.
The union's Council of Delegates voted in late September to suspend evaluation negotiations until the district drops its legal fight over the involuntary transfer of teachers this year from three low-performing schools.
An arbitrator ruled this fall that the transfers violated the contract, and a State Supreme Court justice upheld the ruling. The district is appealing the decision.

Carmen Electra proved she can have just as much fun without new love interest Simon Cowell, and partied on New Year's Eve at Simon Hammerstein's The Act Las Vegas. She celebrated with a group of friends — with no Cowell in sight as he is in Barbados. She was heard saying, "I just want to have fun," and danced up a storm and even hit the casino later. "Glee" actor Mark Salling flirted his way through the VIP area, leaving with two girls, which didn't go unnoticed by Cheryl Burke, who had been a rumored paramour of his. She stuck with her "DWTS: All Stars" colleagues Derek Hough, Kelly Monaco and Mark Ballas. Singer Travis Garland and TV personality Allison Melnick also took in the night's outrageous stage acts, including one called "The Gift," a gender-bending reveal involving both male and female body parts.

LANSING—Residents of the 15th Senate District looking for tax preparation information can obtain a free copy of the 2013 Michigan Taxpayer's Guide by visiting Sen. Mike Kowall's website, the lawmaker said Thursday.
The guide, which is a reference for the 2012 tax year, is designed to help residents prepare their state tax returns.
"It is important to have updated information when filling out your taxes, since the tax laws change every year," said Kowall, R-White Lake. "Keeping up with these changes can be a challenge. That's why this free preparation guide is such a useful tool. I am happy we have made it available on my website."
The booklet contains information on Michigan's income tax, property taxes and tax credits. Included is a year-long listing of important property tax dates and deadlines as well as copies of the most commonly used tax forms. The guide also features addresses, phone numbers and email information for obtaining state agency tax assistance.
Kowall added that the guide is meant as a helpful resource and not as a substitute for Michigan Department of Treasury tax instruction booklets.
Residents can contact Kowall's office toll-free at 1-866-301-6515 to reserve a free copy.
Free copies may also be downloaded from this website by clicking Publications.

Oppo is a small Chinese manufacturer of DVD and Blu-Ray players, which has kind of made a name of itself as a producer of high-quality equipment, with a price tag to boot - north of a thousand dollars. They recently entered the smartphone business as well, and the Oppo Find 5 is their latest offering, unveiled earlier this year. It's been getting very positive reviews, it's a few hundred euros cheaper than the competition, and it looks amazing - so I took the plunge.
I'm not exactly a specification junkie - as long as the damn thing works, I'm happy - but the Find 5 does not disappoint in this department. It's got the quad-core 1.5Ghz kajiggers with 2GB of RAM, all the wireless stuff, all the sensors, and everything else a modern smartphone has these days. On top of that, it has something my previous phones haven't had in a while: a customisable notification light, capable of illumination in several different colours. A small detail that I really miss on many other modern smartphones.
There's also a few things it doesn't have. These are things that do not bother me, but I know from reading the comments at OSNews and other sites that they do bother many of you: there's no removable battery, no micro SD slot, and it doesn't support LTE. So, if you run out of juice, you can't swap in a fresh battery, and your storage will be limited to either 16GB or 32GB, depending on the model you choose to buy. Lack of LTE is mostly an issue for Americans. In any case, keep these limitations in mind.
The Find 5 really has three very good arguments going for it. Three aspects of the device that make it stand out from the pack: design, build quality, and the display. These three combined create a device that many would never associate with a small Chinese manufacturer, since prejudice is abound whenever you talk about Chinese companies.
Let's start with design. Unlike many other cheaper phones from China, Oppo is not copying anyone, nor is it trying to invoke feelings of similarity with other brands like Apple or Samsung. The design of the Find 5 stands on its own, and is very restrained, elegant, and, for the lack of a better term, sharp. You can get the phone in both white and black, but I would definitely suggest going for the white one as the subtle design touches - like the narrow chin or the black side buttons - go unnoticed on the black one.
The glass of the display is true edge-to-edge - in fact, there's a third edge since it stretches all the way to the top of the device. The bezels on the two sides are very thin, further adding to the edge-to-edge feeling, and makes the phone feel smaller than it actually is. The bottom of the glass also contains the three hardware keys for Android, which I personally very much prefer to the more recent on-screen buttons which eat up a chunk of you screen.
There is a weird issue with the capacitive keys, though, that I hope CyanogenMod (more on that later) will be able to resolve. If move your finger from the screen into the capacitive button area, and then release, the capacitive button will activate. This is quite annoying when you're, say, scrolling through a list and your finger moves onto the back or home button, after which it'll activate. I'm hoping this is solvable through the Android ROM itself, because it can be rather annoying.
The second core aspect of the Find 5 that sets it apart from the rest is build quality and feel. I have rarely had the pleasure of holding a device that feels as solid, sturdy, and resilient as this one. There is no flex, there are no gaps or joints where dust can gather, none of that stuff - it really does feel like one solid block of phone.
The Find 5 consists of three major structural parts: a steel frame, the glass display, and the plastic outer shell. The steel and glass give the device its ridiculous stiffness, but also make it quite heavy compared to Samsung's plastic or the HTC One's and iPhone's aluminium. This takes a little bit of getting used to, but it does instil confidence about the device's durability.
Plastic on a phone is always hit and miss, but the Find 5's is good - it doesn't feel like plastic. It's hard to explain, but even though the plastic looks smooth, it's been sanded down ever so slightly to improve grip, giving it a very faint rough texture, not even visible. Again - you can press on the plastic all you want, but there's no bending or flexing.
This is a far cry from the slithery plastic used by Samsung.
This is one solid phone, and much like the iPhone 5, it's hard to appreciate just how good it feels to hold without actually holding it. This is iPhone 5 and HTC One territory, and far outpaces whatever plastic crap Samsung is still peddling (to great success, though). This has absolutely nothing to do with the general perception of Chinese phones being cheap and crappy.
The third and final core aspect I want to address is the star of the show, the centrepiece, the feature that everyone who plays with a Find 5 will want to talk about: the display. It's a 5" 1080x1920 AH-IPS display, which comes down to an insane 443ppi. Pixel density isn't everything, but luckily, the other characteristics of the display are just as good as its density. Viewing angles are excellent, and colour reproduction and display calibration are good too. In fact, AnandTech found that the Find 5's display belongs to the very top of the current crop of smartphones displays.
The display really stands out when you choose a pure black wallpaper - you can't see where the display ends and the thin black bezel begins. It looks quite stunning, and everyone who gets his or her hands on this phone mentions just how impressed they are by the display. Like build quality, it's really one of those things you have to see for yourself.
Combine the three aspects of design, build quality, and display, and you arrive at a phone with its own identity, that stands apart from the rest; yet, it doesn't go nuts with features or whacky design flourishes. It's elegant, understated, and minimalistic, yet doesn't feel like dime a dozen like so many phones out there. For a small company, Oppo seems to have a very good eye for detail and quality, and the Find 5 is proof of that.
Unofficial Nexus device
Software-wise, the Find 5 is a bit of a different story. By default, it ships with Android 4.1.1, but sadly, Oppo does not ship stock - it uses its own skin, which is, quite frankly, absolutely horrible. I'm not going to waste any more words on it. Virtually every Android user here will flash something other than Oppo's version of Android on it, and weirdly enough, this is a crucial reason as to why the Find 5 caught my eye to begin with.
Unlike HTC, Samsung, and many of the other larger Android OEMs, Oppo actively supports the modding and ROM community. Oppo provides ways to root the Find 5, and lists officially supported alternative ROMs on the Find 5 product page. Currently, Oppo supports CyanogenMod, Paranoid Android, Pac Rom, and an AOSP ROM. On top of that, Oppo provides developers of these ROMs with phones to ensure they work properly. The end result is that there is a very active community at the Oppo forums for support and instructions.
I prefer CyanogenMod, so I'm running the CM10.1 nightlies on my Find 5. Everything works, and all aspects of the device are properly supported. CM10.1 absolutely flies on this beast of a machine, and it feels a lot faster than Oppo's own ROM. Battery life is excellent; after a day of regular usage, I'm still left with about 50% battery.
There's not much else to say about Android 4.2.2 and CM10.1 - you're all familiar with it anyway. I'm coming from Windows Phone, and the flexibility of Android and the quality of the applications compared to the meagre offerings on Microsoft's mobile operating system are a breath of fresh air.
Anywho, all this makes the Find 5 somewhat of an unofficial Nexus device. It'd be great if Google could look beyond the larger OEMs and give the next Nexus assignment to a smaller OEM, to make it clear that the company cares about more than just the big boys. An Oppo Nexus phone would be a well-deserved reward for the work Oppo is doing here.
Probably the biggest point in its favour is its price - it's €399 (no contract), compared to its competitors which will set you back €600-€700 without a contract, and much more with a contract (those monthly payments add up). In other words, it's roughly the same price as a Nexus 4, has better specifications, looks better (in my view), and is as close to a Nexus device as it can be.
Still, it has its shortcomings, which include the lack of an SD card slot and removable battery, and for people used to being fooled into thinking phones are cheap, the upfront cost of €399 is more than they think they're paying for their iPhone or Galaxy S4. On top of that, no carrier or regular store will sell it to you - you have to order it online.
The Find 5 ranks among the very best of smartphones out right now, but with a more attractive price tag and a community-friendly company which actively supports modding and ROMs. The choice seems simple to me.

An abnormally shaped tooth is any tooth that has an irregular shape.
Alternative Names
Hutchinson incisors; Abnormal tooth shape; Peg teeth; Mulberry teeth; Conical teeth
The appearance of normal teeth varies, especially the molars. Abnormally shaped teeth can result from many different conditions. Specific diseases can affect tooth shape, tooth color, time of appearance, or absence of teeth.
Congenital syphilis Cerebral palsy Ectodermal dysplasia, anhidrotic Incontinentia pigmenti achromians Cleidocranial dysostosis Ehlers-Danlos syndrome Ellis-van Creveld syndrome
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Talk to a dentist or health care provider if the shape of your childs teeth appears to be abnormal.
What to Expect at Your Office Visit
The dentist will examine the mouth and teeth. You will be asked questions about your childs medical history and symptoms, such as:
- Does the child have any medical conditions that may cause abnormal tooth shape?
- At what age did the teeth appear?
- In what order did the teeth appear?
- Are there other tooth problems (color, spacing)?
- What other symptoms are also present?
Fillings, dental restorations, crowns, or bridges may be needed to correct the abnormal shape and improve the appearance of the teeth.

People who are overweight and have type 2 diabetes needed for weight loss study
Adults between the ages of 31 and 60 years who are overweight may be able to participate in a study to assess the effects of the medication Detemir on weight, brain function and mood, and on blood vessels and other risk factors for heart disease.
Detemir is insulin that is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treatment of diabetes mellitus. This study will compare how diet and Detemir affect areas of the brain that are involved in food intake and the sense of "pleasure" people get from eating. To participate, you must be overweight, have type 2 diabetes and take oral anti-diabetic medication for your diabetes.
If you meet the study eligibility criteria and agree to participate, you must be willing to come to the Vanderbilt Clinical Research Center for four overnight stays, 13 clinic visits and 17 interactions with a registered dietitian or nurse over a 26-week period.
The study will include blood work, tests of cardiovascular function, DEXA, PET and MRI scans to measure body composition, measurement of your energy expenditure and brain activity during visual stimuli. You will be provided with study drug, menus to follow and some foods to include in your meal planning.
If you are interested in this study, please take the screening survey at www.4diabetesstudy.com. You will be contacted by our study coordinator for further directions.
You may also contact the study nurse, Antoinette Richardson, at email@example.com or call 835-9269.

The only thing, said David Morgan, that everyone could agree on about the structure of domestic cricket in England was that it wasn't right.
The former chairman of ECB canvassed in the region of 100 interested parties about how the county game should change before delivering his interim report to the board today.
The major problem, he says, is that no one knows when games are on. There might be a four-day starting in Worcester on a Tuesday, one in Hove on a Wednesday etc. Every cricket fan recognises that ongoing frustration. Is that likely to change after his recommendations? It'd be nice to think so but I doubt it.
The underlying cause of the bloated mess of a fixture list is the TV deal with Sky in which there is a contractual obligation to provide county cricket available to be televised on pretty much any day there isn't an international.
So, if you're happy simply to switch on Sky and watch whichever 22 flannel led fools are put in front of you then it's fine. If you like to have a bit of context, a bit of definition, a bit of light and shade and even a bit of, yes, downtime, when there isn't any cricket on, then you're stuffed.
But within these undesirable parameters, here is how I would tweak the county game. My ideal scenario would be have all three competitions (four-day, T20 and 40 or 50 over) laid out in three identical regional groups (like the old B&H groups) with play-offs and a final.
This is effectively an American sports model where there are certain rival teams who you play every season but then your other opponents come from the other divisions and are selected on a rotational basis so, for example, Kent don't go for years without playing Yorkshire.
This also allows you to adjust the number of fixtures to suit. We're too hidebound by our traditional UK sports model of all-play-all so if you have a league of 10 that means you've got 18 fixtures whether you like not or not.
With three groups of six, you could play your divisional opponents home and away or maybe just once if that was preferable and make up your desired number of fixtures from playing teams in the other divisions.
I think this is perfect for the limited-overs competitions where results are guaranteed and promotion and relegation does not feature. For the county championship there is the issue of weather ruining play-off matches. But the over-riding thing is that championship works just fine as it is. It has flaws of course but overall it is the one aspect of the county game that everyone agrees works well.
So leave it alone and make the adjustments elsewhere.

This expression alludes to sowing inferior wild oats instead of good cultivated grain, the verb sowingthat is, planting seedin particular suggesting sexual promiscuity.
[Mid-1500s] 2- Storm in a tea cup If someone exaggerates a problem or makes a small problem seem far greater than it really is, then they are making a storm in a teacup 3- To keep late hours Stay awake until late at night Never call Ethel before noon; she keeps late hours and sleeps all morning.
This frequently used idiom comes from a story by Charles Miner, published in 1811, about a boy who was flattered into turning the grindstone for a man sharpening his axe.
Shakespeare had this term in King Lear (5:1): And hardly shall I carry out my side, her husband being alive Put in practice or effect, We will carry out the new policy. 2- Taken over Assume control, management, or possession of The pilot told his copilot to take over the controls. [Late 1800s] 3- Bring about cause She hopes to bring about a change in his attitude.This metaphor originated in France and was translated into English in Randle Cotgrave's Dictionary (1611), where it referred to dissipating one's wealth. 5- Leave in the lurch Desert or leave alone and in trouble, refuse to help or support someone He left me in the lurch when he didn't come over to help me although he had promised to earlier in the day.6- Goes without saying Be self-evident, a matter of course It goes without saying that success is the product of hard work.4- To throw cold water on to discourage, to remove hope, deter Steve wanted to expand the business into China, but his boss threw cold water on the idea, and told him to focus on the domestic business.Cutting my year-end bonus poured cold water on my loyalty to the company.
"Having an axe to grind" then came into figurative use for having a personal motive for some action.

Well, I have been playing a reasonable amount of D&D in the last year or so..
I ran my D20 modern game after a breif sojourn into 4th Ed (which is very MEH). Game went very well and finished with me being rather mean to the players (need i say, floating in space with no way to die and most of the universe destroyed mwahaha cough splutter).
I am currently playing in a planescape game which is a bit of a head**** as you can use any 3.5 book in existance and most 3.0 (which leads to some rather interesting combo's. oh and did i mention its gestalt :S)
Not sure how long that game will run tho as the current DM is a bit of a player killer which is a bit upsetting as i was the first to die...damn you will saves.
Currently working on a duel DM game, one half of the game being D&D (pathfinder) the other half being D20 modern... still in its early stages but coming along very nicly
Anyone else doing anything?
