Requirements: 4.0+
Overview: This is a powerful tool! Use at own risk!
Nobody is perfect and Android neither.
Apps you have already deleted, sometimes leave data behind.
The system constantly creates logs, crash reports and debug files you don't really need.
Your SD-card is collecting files and directories you don't recognize.
Lets not go on here…
Why not get a maid to clean it all up?
SD Maid will help you keep your device neat, clean and tidy :-)!
Give it a try, you won't find a more thorough cleaning tool!
Choose a tab, press start and then either click a single item to delete or press the clean all button. It's just that easy.

If you have questions or concerns send me a mail ( [email protected] ). I usually respond quite quickly and will happily help you out.
Obtaining SD Maid from unofficial sources puts your device at risk.

Welcome to Fulworks we support and promote enterprising Australian business men and women
Fulworks Australia aims to showcase an inspired community of business people from all walks of life, from all parts of our country, whose stories may inspire you to a life of enterprise! As well, their lessons in leadership are a great example to us all.
Australia has about 2.1 million businesses, more than 95% of which are small businesses. Around 2 million of those employed fewer than 20 staff – around 1.3 million of them are sole traders who do not employ any staff. Most of those small to medium enterprises had an annual turnover less than $2million. (ABS June 2011).
In 30 years of journalism, 10 years working with the Telstra Business Awards programs and in her weekly 'Enterprising Women' column for the AFR Weekend Fin Review (www.afr.com.au) Anne Fulwood has met, befriended and shared the stories of hundreds of business owners.
These enterprising Australians go unheralded in their everyday lives. They employ people, provide opportunities to learn, they innovate, bring up families, and add character to communities. Even if you don't aspire to entrepreneurship – just hearing how people make a living, is enough to brighten your day.

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- Al-Qaida's front group in Iraq has threatened more attacks on Christians after a siege on a Baghdad church that left 58 people dead.
The militants linked their warning to claims that Egypt's Coptic Church is holding women captive because they converted to Islam.
The Islamic State of Iraq, which has claimed responsibility for Sunday's assault on a Catholic church during mass in downtown Baghdad, said its deadline for Egypt's Copts to release the women had expired and its fighters would attack Christians wherever they can be reached.
"We will open upon them the doors of destruction and rivers of blood," the insurgent group said in a statement posted late Tuesday on militant Web sites.
The Islamic State of Iraq is an umbrella group that includes al-Qaida in Iraq and other allied Sunni insurgent factions. The group also demanded the release of al-Qaida-linked prisoners held in Iraq.
It is unclear why the group seized on the conversion disputes between Egypt's Muslims and its minority Christians, although the issue has become a rallying point for hard-line Islamists in Egypt.
The group said it had given the Coptic Church 48 hours to release the women it says had converted to Islam. The group specifically mentioned two Egyptian women married to Coptic priests it says are being held against their will. The church denies the allegation. Some say they believe the women converted to Islam to leave their husbands because divorce is banned by the church.
During the past few years in Egypt, arguments over these kinds of alleged conversions have exacerbated Muslim-Christian tensions already high over issues such as the construction of new churches.
The Baghdad church siege was the deadliest ever recorded against Iraq's Christians, whose numbers have plummeted since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion as members of the community have fled to other countries.
Meanwhile, the death toll in a series of attacks mainly targeting Shi'ites in Baghdad rose to 91, according to Iraqi police and hospital officials who spoke on condition of anonymity. Iraqi government TV aired footage Wednesday of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki visiting victims of the blasts in hospitals. The visits were a first for al-Maliki, who has been struggling to keep his job since his Shi'ite-dominated alliance was narrowly defeated by the Sunni-backed bloc of former Prime Minister Ayad Allawi in the March 7 election.
Neither bloc won an outright majority, setting up a fight for allies that has left the government in a stalemate.

In 1862, five Russian musicians in St. Petersburg (Borodin, Cui, Balakirev, Mussorgsky, and Rimsky-Korsakov) formed the "Gang of Five," a group whose aim was to create authentically Russian music as opposed to the prevalent Western style championed by Tchaikovsky. A century later, five Lebanese musicians modeled themselves after the Russian group and formed their own "Gang of Five" with the mission of creating authentically Lebanese music. These five men, 'Asi Rahbani, Mansur Rahbani, Zaki Nasif, Tawfiq al-Basha, and Tawfiq Sukkar, along with Wadi al-Safi, Fairuz, Sabah, and others, succeeded in creating "city music" based on the folk arts of the countryside. Of the Gang of Five, Mansur Rahbani is the only survivor after 81-year-old Tawfiq al-Basha died in December 2005, after a long struggle with cancer.
Tawfiq al-Basha was born in Beirut in 1924. He started his music career as a cello player, which was a rarity at the time, earning him many bookings and bringing him financial success; however, he eventually abandoned the cello in favor of pursuing his dream of composing. He enrolled in the American University in Beirut and apprenticed with a Russian instructor, then later studied with the same French music teacher, Bertrand Roupier, who had taught the Rahbani brothers and Zaki Nasif.
Basha began his prolific yet under-appreciated career during the 1943 independence of Lebanon, when a unique Lebanese cultural identity was being sought. In pursuit of this identity, the Baalbak International Festivals were established in 1957. The Gang of Five became the musical genius behind the festivals. Shortly after founding Baalbak, Basha co-founded Al-Anwar Ensemble with Said Fraiha. The ensemble toured Europe and earned Basha recognition as a talented orchestra leader and composer, often performing Basha's own arrangements of popular and folk tunes such as "Ammi Ya Bayya' al-Ward," (My Uncle, the Rose Vendor), "Zuruni" (Visit Me), and "Ya Mayila" (One Who Sways).
After a short stint at the Jerusalem radio station in 1950, then another at the Near East radio station, al-Basha spent most of his career as head of the music department at the Lebanese radio station. He was credited with using that position to pressure the government bureaucracy to purchase new musical instruments and to contract with musicians who could read musical notation to play those instruments.
The emerging ensemble was considered for a long time to be the best in Lebanon and the players were invited to perform at many festivals. He increased the size of the ensemble, adding chorus members, producers, and technicians. He also attracted many accomplished Lebanese musicians to the station, such as Halim al-Rumi (father of singer Majida al-Rumi, who discovered Fairuz), and later Elias Rahbani (Asi and Mansur's younger brother), Ihsan Mundher (a keyboard player who currently has a popular TV show), and Salim Sahab (conductor of a large Egyptian orchestra).
As the department head, Basha composed numerous songs for the radio station as well as many festivals, and he also composed songs for several famous singers, including Fairuz, Sabah, Wadi al-Safi, Suad Muhammad, Nour al-Huda, and his first wife Widad. Although he has nearly 3,000 tunes to his credit, Basha's first love was not short songs, but rather large instrumental and orchestral compositions.
However, he recognized that Arabs, in general, preferred lyrical songs over instrumental compositions. Furthermore, the complex compositions required assembling large orchestras with highly-skilled instrumentalists, and even more challenging, it required an accepting audience, preferably one that was musically educated. Yet these challenges did not impede him from pursuing his goal of popularizing music without lyrics.
Basha's best known compositions are "Beirut 82," which marked the year of the Israeli invasion of the capital city; "Peace Symphony," which marked the end of the civil war and was performed by an orchestra in Belgium; and the "Prophet's Recital" or "Inshaddiyya" from the poetry of Ahmad Showqi, which was performed at the Cairo Opera House. His spiritual compositions beautifully combined musical depth with ethereal softness.
In 1969, he won a prize for a symphony oddly titled "Non-Maqam Ultraviolet." Basha's other works include"Layali al-Asfahani Fi Kitab al-Aghani," "Majales al-Tarab 'Ind al-Arab," and "Juha." In 1952, he composed the entire program of the Near East Ballet Ensemble. His work "Fantasie Oriental" was based on themuwashah (a musical term meaning terza rima) "Asqi al-Itash" (Give Drink to the Thirsty) with violinist Abboud Abd al-Al playing in lieu of a singer. He also wrote "Andalus Suites." His Work "Le Tapis Magique"(The Magic Carpet) was inspired by "The Arabian Nights."
With all his success – books, albums, awards and medals – and his significant role in the Arab League's Arab Academy of Music, Tawfiq al-Basha will be remembered for two significant accomplishments: his scholarly and encyclopedic knowledge of the muwashahat genre, and his orchestral compositions. Basha learned Andalusian music from his uncle Khalil Makniyya long before studying classical music. He pursued Andalusian music and became a recognized authority, writing several books on the topic. Basha also wrote on the history and theory of Arab music – which he preferred to call Eastern music.
Basha believed in the Arab musical heritage and encouraged its presentation in the best possible light. He strongly debated about the purity of Arab music and sided with those who called for musical renewal, including exposure to and learning from Western and world music, albeit never from a position of inferiority. He introduced polyphony to Arab music, which is based on modal melodies.
This composer was determined to demonstrate that the Arabs can stand on their historical accomplishments without blocking modernity. He admired the great Egyptian composers, referring to Sayyid Darwish as the only contemporary Arab musician and to Muhammad al-Qasabji as the greatest source of change and renewal. He often expressed his respect for Muhammad Abd al-Wahhab, and in the 1950s, Basha successfully combined several of the tunes of popular Wahhab songs into one suite. He composed transitional phrases to ease the listeners into connecting the songs, especially where maqammodulation took place.
In a long interview with critic Nizar Mrouweh in the late 80s, Basha discussed his strengths, as well as the the gaps in his musical education. He described developing Eastern music and his attempts to bring it international acclaim while maintaining its Arab spirit of swimming against the current. At the age of 70 he reportedly said that he was just beginning to compose, since he had many ideas left to realize, including a project with the poet Said Aql.
Tawfiq al-Basha, however, passed the baton to his son, the world-renowned pianist Abd al-Rahman al-Basha, who was honored in Belgium the same day his father died. One of Tawfiq's songs was titled"Idinnya Haik" or "This Is Life." As for this sad loss, one can only say Idinnya Haik!

FC Block Review
The worst part about dieting is giving up the foods you love in order to lose weight. Pro Fight claims that now you don't have to! With their fat blocking formula FC Block, you can supposedly eat the high calorie and deep fried foods without the guilt.
But can you really self-indulge without the consequences? Pro Fight makes some hefty claims about the effectiveness of its product, and we're skeptical as to whether or not Pro Fight can really suppress your appetite, reduce water retention, and detoxify your skin.
Benefits of FC Block
FC Block depends primarily on White Kidney Bean Extract to do the work in this fat blocking formula. White Kidney Beans, like any other beans, are rich in fiber and make for great digestive aids. The high concentrations of fiber can help add bulk without the bulge, keeping you feeling fuller for longer periods of time without the added calories of other foods. Fiber is extremely beneficial for keeping regular and maintaining a healthy digestive system.
Additionally White Kidney Beans interact with the enzyme Alpha-Amylase, the enzyme responsible for the breakdown of starches to be absorbed in the blood stream for fuel (or stored as fat). When this enzyme is blocked, many of the gut-busting carbs go undigested and unabsorbed in your digestive tract, allowing those excess calories to pass guilt-free through your system.
Limitations of FC Block
Unfortunately, White Kidney Bean isn't the "silver bullet" solution as FC Block claims it to be. Because these foods are not digested fully by the time they hit your intestines, these high calorie foods have the chance to ferment, resulting in painful gas, bloating, and even diarrhea.
Additionally, White Kidney Bean can't completely block Alpha-amylase, so portion of those high calorie foods are still being absorbed in your system. Although White Kidney Bean extract can help limit the damage done through self-indulgence, it cannot completely counter the resulting weight gain from an unhealthy diet.
Is FC Block Worth it?
By exercising a little more discipline when you eat, FC Block can help you lose a little weight while still allowing you to eat the occasional burger now and then. However, no miracle pill can compensate for unhealthy eating decisions and lack of exercise.
FC Block retails for around $37 (lower prices are available through 3rd party vendors), making this product a little expensive for such mild weight loss results. Although FC Block has the potential to be a good addition to any weight loss routine, there are cheaper and stronger supplements available that can help you achieve your weight loss goals.

There are two main ways in which the relationship between man and nature can be understood. Some contend that humans should reshape the natural world for their own benefit, while others argue that humanity should respect natural limits.
The first view can be traced to Francis Bacon (1561-1626). The brilliant English philosopher, statesman and scientist ushered in the Enlightenment view that humans should seek to dominate nature. By this he did not mean that nature should be destroyed, as is sometimes alleged by greens, but rather harnessed to meet human needs.
Many key Enlightenment figures, including the French encyclopédistes Jean le Rond d'Alembert and Denis Diderot, recognised the key contribution Bacon made to modernity. Immanuel Kant, the great German Enlightenment philosopher, hailed Bacon in the preface to his Critique of Pure Reason (1781).
There is a strong argument that Bacon created the preconditions for the idea of progress. Writing in his classic study, The Idea of Progress (1920), John Bagnell Bury said that, for Bacon, 'the true object… of the investigation of nature is not, as the Greek philosophers held, speculative satisfaction, but to establish the reign of man over nature; and this Bacon judged to be attainable, provided new methods of attacking the problems were introduced'.
In retrospect, Bacon's supporters were right to recognise the importance of his insights. By reshaping and harnessing nature for our own benefit, we have created a far more prosperous society. It is hard to imagine the whole panoply of aircraft, cars, computers, electricity grids, hospitals, schools, railways, roads, telephones, universities and the like without it. Yet Bacon is virtually forgotten, except by the green and feminist authors who deride him for allegedly advocating the rape of nature.

Hoje, May 26th, is National Blueberry Cheesecake Day so it's the perfect day to sing the praises of Sirabella's Vegan Cheesecake.
Crescer, my mother always made cheesecake with ricotta and cream cheese. Todo mundo adorou. I wasn't a fan of cheesecake; it was too tangy for my not-yet-grown-up taste buds. Since I've been vegan (sobre 7 years now), I've come to like vegan cheesecake much more than any dairy-filled one.
So I was excited when the generous people at Sirabella's wrote to me, saying they were developing a vegan cheesecake and offered to let me try it.
The founders, Marc Sirabella and Avi Strauss, were motivated to develop a vegan cheesecake that tasted like the real thing because people (including the founders) who are vegan, lactose-intolerant, allergic to eggs or dairy or were just making healthier choices, were all missing out especially at family gatherings.
Sirabella's New York style Cheesecake uses dairy-free and eggless ingredients to create a vegan cheesecake that looks and tastes just like a traditional cheesecake. Claro, it has no cholesterol and only about half the calories of that traditional version.
The vegan cheesecake comes shipped frozen in special packaging so it actually stays frozen. It comes in a traditional bakery style box so it's perfect for sending to friends or family as a gift. The cakes are vegan, kosher and contain no preservatives.
You can order a plain cheesecake or Sirabella's also offers the cheesecakes in chocolate, morango, cereja, framboesa e mirtilo. If you order a case of six cheesecakes, you get free shipping! They also order gift cards que, believe me, everyone will want.
When our vegan New York Style Cheesecake arrived, we were excited. It looked creamy and rich and we couldn't wait to try it. The company says it serves 12 but my husband begs to differ 🙂
Once it thawed, we put some fresh blueberries on top and dug in. Mmmmm! The cheesecake was rich, thick, creamy and sooooo good! Tangy but not over the top tangy. Foi incrível! It didn't only taste like traditional cheesecake, it tasted better!
E, claro,, it is better because it's cruelty-free.
Since Tom loves blueberries, I took the rest to make a blueberry compote to pour over the cheesecake. It's fast and easy (veja receita abaixo).
That took the cheesecake to a whole new level of deliciousness. You can make your own compote or just order the cheesecake with it so the only work you have to do is be patient until the cake thaws out. 🙂
Sirabella's Vegan New York Style Cheesecake is decadent and delicious. How delicious? Let's just say you should never attend another family gathering without bringing one (at least one) of these cheesecakes with you. No one will believe it's vegan but convince them because we want everyone to know that vegan food is incredible.
Confira Sirabella's web site and order your first vegan cheesecake, if you haven't already enjoyed one or two. There is no better way to celebrate National Blueberry Cheesecake Day or any day for that matter.
Thank you Sirabella's for letting me try this amazing cheesecake. We will be ordering more very soon!
Blueberry Compote
2 pints fresh blueberries
1 Tbs. suco de limão fresco
¼ xícara de açúcar
Uma pitada de sal kosher
1 Tbs. arrowroot (opcional)
To make the compote: Combine the blueberries, suco de limão, açúcar, and salt in a saucepan. Leve para ferver, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 atas. The compote will thicken, especially after it cools. If you want it thicker, add the arrowroot powder and stir until dissolved.

The Goodyear Tire Recall Explained
Goodyear has announced the recall of 40,000 light truck tires. In terms of total tires sold, this is a fairly small recall, but it is very important if you happen to own some of the recalled tires. The tires in question are the Wranger Silent Armor Light Truck (LT) series produced between March 1, 2009 and May 31, 2009. The sizes are LT235/80R17, LT245/75R17, LT265/70R17, LT275/70R18, LT285/70R17, and LT325/60R18.
If you own any of the recalled tires, chances are you will be notified by mail. Most often, when you buy tires, their serial numbers are recorded along with your contact information and sent to the tire manufacturer for just these kinds of circumstances. Notification is scheduled to begin on March 22, 2012. If you suspect your tires are part of this recall and you don't receive notification, contact your local GoodYear Tire Store.
The problem related to these tires is called tread separation. This is one of the most common types of tire failure.
A tire is constructed of several layers of reinforced rubber (each layer is called a "ply"). Included between some layers are bands of steal mesh (called "belts")—this is all under the tread surface. The tread, along with all of the layers, are bonded using a heat process called vulcanization. Something went wrong during the construction process of these tires, which has made them more prone to tread separation.
Tread separation is when the layers under the tread begin to come apart. As pressurized air from inside the tire enters the damaged area of the tire, a 'bubble" will form in the tread or on the sidewall. As this occurs, a vibration will be noticed while driving due to the irregular shape of the tire. This is your warning signal before the tire will actually fail.
These specific tires are being recalled, but tread separation can happen to any tire. It is most commonly a result of excessive heat buildup in the tire due to under inflation. This is just one of many reasons it is important to regularly check your tire pressure!
If you begin to feel an unusual vibration while driving, you should reduce your speed and pull off to the side of the road as soon as it is safe. If a quick inspection reveals a tire problem, calling for help would be recommended. If no tire problem is seen, driving to a local repair shop at a sharply limited speed should be okay.
It is very important to take note of an unusual vibration while driving—failure to do so can result in compete tire failure, which all too often leads to a rollover type crash. It is always better to be safe than sorry!

What Are Your All-Time Favorite xoVain Articles?
It's gonna get sappy up in here.
The word is out that MAC is teaming up with Lorde for a limited-edition makeup collection due out this summer. It makes perfect sense for MAC to snatch her up – Lorde's aesthetic is a perfect fit for the brand and her career is on fire. It's kind of a no-brainer. Personally, I'm excited about the dark lipstick possibilities! Lorde wears goth shades all the time, so there's bound to be some good, deep colors in her line. We shall see.
While I approve of this union, I'm wondering what you think about it. Part of my job is to be aware of these things, but if you don't get paid to care, I'm curious about whether or not you even notice when a celebrity links up with a brand. It happens so often now, it's like the fashion and beauty worlds have become completely co-dependent. But in this celeb-obsessed world, I get why hair, makeup and fragrance brands believe that bringing on famous faces is the way to go. It's competitive out there, yo! And the strategy must be working.
The Lorde announcement has also got me thinking WHO WILL GET LUPITA?? I think all of the beauty companies that want her as their spokesperson (I'm sure there are a bunch who are circling her) should fight it out in a Hunger Games style competition. Whoever is left standing, gets to ink a cosmetics contract with her. Seems fair.
Of course beauty collaborations with young, hot stars are to be expected, but the partnerships that I find the most interesting are the ones that you don't see coming. Like Charlotte Rampling, who at age 68, was just named the new face of NARS two weeks ago. I have no problem with newly minted It girls profiting from their success, but I LOVE to see ravishing older women celebrated, too. Starlets come and go, but there is a much shorter list of talents out there who are as known for their incredible bodies of work as much as their timeless beauty. Also shouldn't women over 50 get to see beautiful campaigns that feature ladies in their own age bracket? And I don't just mean ads for anti-wrinkle creams.
Alright, it's your turn to grab the mic. How much do celebs influence your beauty spending? Which stars would you give a makeup contract to if you were in charge? Feel free to name delebs (dead celebs) if you want to. In that case, I vote for Eartha Kitt. How fabulous would that be?

WATCH: EXO's Kai plays with adorable kids and discusses his plans for future babies
EXO member Kai made a recent appearance on the October 31 episode of the reality series Oh! My Baby, and after playing with cute kids for a day, he talked about his own dreams of having kids in the future.
On Oh! My Baby, Kai babysat Ricky Kim's kids, Tae Rin and Tae Oh. After the experience, he gave his thoughts on having children of his own someday: "It was a fun, new experience. It made me think that later on when I get married, I'd like to have three kids. I think it'd be best to separate the times between having each one. It seems like it'd be very hard."
He seems to be a natural with kids in this clip:
In this one, he and Tae Oh bond over some beef lettuce wraps. Beyond adorable.
I'm sure Kai would have no trouble finding a volunteer to help him start that family of three kids someday...
Are you a fan of Kai? Watch him make Chanyeol jealous in the fun web series EXO Next Door:

The world seems to have gone avocado mad. This delicious, healthy fast-food is no longer Latin America's best kept secret. In the UK alone avocado sales have soared to an astounding £142 million in past year. Petitions have apparently been started to introduce an avocado emoji on the iphone and recent statistics revealed that British shoppers are spending £9 million more on avocados than on oranges. In the light of the nation's obsession, we decided we'd give you a list of the best places to find yourself the classic avocado dish, that gorgeous green guacamole. Enjoy!
Here at Latinolife, we can't get enough of Chili Sauce. We put it on EVERYTHING, whether it's tacos and tortilla's or good old English Shepherd's Pie. Here is a list of our Favourite chili sauces
Yes, it's amazing, Latin American cuisine has even taken over Chelsea, as I recently discovered when I stumbled upon Duke of York Square one Saturday morning flush with Latin food stalls. My favourite was the Rainforest stall, which sold fresh Amazon products. My friend and I bought Colombian coconuts, the perfect post work-out drink; one cup gives you over 10% of your recommended daily amount of potassium, which is lost through sweat. I also loved Maracujá, the Brazilian stall, and Panka which had healthy Peruvian food, including gluten free salads, as well as more meaty stuff. The visit inspired me to explore more of London's Latin food stalls, a journey that took me to PUMP street food market in Shoreditch, which hosts the excellent Brazilian Sampa. I got so lost in their truffle tapioca chips with an aioli sauce that I was only distracted from digging into a third portion by the perfect Argentine alfajores at Los Pibes, Where next? Camden Market of course! After which I compiled a list of my most divine gastronomic encounters…
Great ancient civilizations were built on them, so no wonder Latin America supplies most of the world's many super-foods – products extremely high in nutritious value – now flooding into UK health stores. Most hail from the Amazon region, the eponymous forest that spreads across Brazil, (60%), Peru (13%), Colombia (10%,) as far as Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana. Some ingredients have not found their way here yet and others are still being discovered, but many you can find in your local Whole Foods and Holland & Barrett or online. Here are a few you need to be incorporating into your diet.

Whistler Film Festival in BC runs from December 4 to 8, 2013, and filmmakers and deal-makers from Los Angeles, China and Canada will meet there at the
Whistler Film Festival's annual industry Summit to talk about cross border distribution and commerce. One of the many advantages of WFF's Summit is the
intimate environment in which executives and filmmakers network and forge relationships. Whether it is at a panel discussion, a reception or strolling
through the village, Whistler offers an unparalleled opportunity for gaining access to the people you need to talk to – and with this years roster of
industry elite, it's an opportunity you can't afford to miss.
"Drawing on the expertise of this years VIP guests, the Summit is structured around the theme of bringing your films to market, and is designed to provide
filmmakers and producers with the necessary tools to succeed both within and beyond Canada's borders," said Paul Gratton, WFF's Director of Programming.
"Our second annual China Canada Gateway for Film Script Competition will provide insight into what works when considering a possible co-production with
China. Similarly, this year's Crossing Borders program focuses on film distribution in Canada, specifically addressing what the EOne acquisition of
Alliance means to Canadian players."
On December 5th, WFF's Summit kicks off with the second annual China Canada Gateway for Film® Script Competition, a dynamic pitching competition
designed to stimulate international financing for Canadian creators to participate in a China Canada co-production. The competition introduces experienced
writer/producer teams to Chinese studios with production financing on the table for three selected projects. The selected teams, international panel of
experts and three Chinese production companies will be announced at the end of October.
On December 6th, the Summit's Crossing Borders program will address all things distribution from big screen success to small screen solutions,
attracting the most influential players in the industry.
The New Distribution panel will reveal how the vacuum in the Canadian distribution sector is quickly being filled up by aggressive new players such as
Pacific Northwest Pictures and Indiecan, and how more established companies such as Kinosmith and Phase Four Films are stepping up to the plate. Attendees
will learn about the new distributors, what they are looking for, and how and when to best approach them with their next film project. Guests include:
Emily Alden, VP of Production & Development, Pacific Northwest Pictures; Robin Smith, Founder & President, Kinosmith; and Berry Meyerowitz,
President & CEO, Phase 4 Films Inc.
The Alternative Distribution panel will speak to new ways of getting films to the big screen, or any screen for that matter. At a time when digital
technology is allowing more and more films to get made than ever before, the challenge still remains on how to get these films to market. With alternative
distributors speaking from both the US and Canadian perspective, attendees will find out from the pros how to get films seen and generating revenue no
matter what side of the border you live on. Guests include: J. Joly, Founder & CEO, CineCoup; Bill Bromiley, Chief Acquisitions Officer, Image, RLJ
Entertainment; and Avi Federgreen, CEO, IndieCan Entertainment.
The What's Up Docs panel will be moderated by Sturla Gunnarsson, director of numerous award-winning docs and of Ice Soldiers, which is receiving
its world premiere at WFF. Featuring notable documentary filmmakers, the panel will address financing and distribution options for feature length
documentaries at a time when most of the programming slots for so-called "one-offs" have disappeared from television screens to make way for reality
programs. Guests include: Barry Avrich, Director, Filthy Gorgeous: The Bob Guccione Story; and Lucy Walker, Director, Crash Reel, with
others to be announced with WFF's lineup.
Hussain Amarshi, President & Founder of Mongrel Media, will deliver a keynote address entitled The Best of Times, The Worst of Times – Reflections on
20 Years of Film Distribution at WFF's annual invitation only Filmmaker Luncheon.
Summit highlight In Conversation: A View From The Top moderated by Variety's VP & Executive Editor, Steven Gaydos features Canada's distribution and
exhibition leaders including eOne, Cineplex and Bell Media who will discuss consolidation in the media and debate the pros and cons their companies'
dominant positions bring to their respective sectors (theatrical distribution, theatrical exhibition, and television exhibition) in Canada. Guests include:
Patrice Theroux, President, Global Filmed Entertainment, Executive Director of Entertainment One Ltd.; Michael Kennedy, Vice-President of Filmed
Entertainment, Cineplex; and Kevin Goldstein, VP Regulatory Affairs Bell Media Inc.
Registered filmmakers and producers with industry experience and production credits will also have the opportunity to sign up for high-level one-on-one
meetings to pitch their projects to commissioning editors, sales agents, distributors and other key execs attending the Festival.
On December 7th, WFF's ShortWork Lab returns to empower the next generation of storytellers, providing filmmakers firsthand insight into the
world of narrative short-form storytelling. Emerging filmmakers are invited to participate in this full day of panel discussions, pitches, networking and
screenings with filmmakers and industry experts.
WFF's Summit industry schedule is now available at
. The Festival's online box office is open for early bird industry registration and festival passes until October 31st. The Festival lineup and
film schedule will be available online on November 4th.

Convert a Template to a Website
Budget $30-250 USD
I am looking for someone who is a good designer as well as good with WordPress to take my CURRENT theme and remodel it so I can use the new design with this site and any future sites. I want to keep using the main "HEAT MAP/LAYOUT" that I'm currently using but I want it to look more high end and professional. I need this new design to work well with WordPress meaning, I need to be able to update the index page background image while still using this new design. This way I can reapply the new design to new websites in the future about different topics and simply change the index page background image to match the new topic and the theme layout would remain the same. Here are the most important attributes that I need considered in this new makeover.
- This website is mobile responsive so the new index page and post page designs also need to be mobile responsive. 50% of my visitors are mobile so this is CRITICAL!
- The index page needs to be a very clean and professional design. Something you would see on a major news website like This is where most of the face-lift and design work needs to be done. It does NOT need to keep the current layout at all on the index page.
- The "Pages" and "POST" design needs to look more high end however the new design CAN NOT change the AD Layout / Positioning. This means that the new layout design needs to incorporate a 728X90 responsive ad at the very top of each post, a 300X250 ad in the center of the content which I use a plugin to control that, another 300X250 ad placed under the side bar with a link unit 200X90 under that. Also two more link units 200X90 at the bottom of each post.
- I would also like there to be an "About the Author" section added to the bottom of every post so we can easily swap the image and a few lines of text and update info about the writer for each post.
- All elements of word press need to remain working on this website as they currently do. The new design cannot cause issues in WordPress
- An Example of one of my sites that is using this exact layout is as follows: [url removed, login to view] & [url removed, login to view]
Please take note that the home page does not require that the layout remain the same for the ads. But the internal pages such as here: [url removed, login to view] require that the current ad placement layout that is there now remains the same, but a newer better looking design be placed around it.

Woman hopes new review of cold case can solve brother's murder
It's been 13 years since Timothy Fulton was shot and killed, but the case remains unsolved.
"He was a good person. He wasn't a violent person," remembers his sister, Kimberly Fulton. "He was very friendly. He had a lot of friends and attracted a lot of friends."
Which is what makes it so hard for her to understand why anyone would want to hurt him.
On May 16, 2003, investigators say Timothy was shot and killed during an apparent robbery. It happened inside a home on Edison Street in Dayton where he sometimes stayed.
For Kim, none of it adds up and all the unanswered questions only add to her pain. "I just felt like he was forgotten you know, like he was just a statistic," she said.
Now, cold-case investigators are hoping another review of the case could change that and Timothy Fulton's killer may finally be caught.
Detective Patty Tackett is leading the investigation.
"It's my belief that they didn't go there to kill anybody, that they went to get marijuana and that something happened, we are not sure why," she said.
Tackett also said just before the shooting, one of Fulton's friends had pulled up to the home. "They actually saw two young black males running from the residence. They didn't see any cars at that time, but they did see two males running in dark clothing," added Tackett.
While it's not much to go on, Tackett said the fact there were two suspects may be her best lead. She said it's unlikely after these years one of them hasn't talked and that could be all it takes.
If you have any information that could help police find Timothy Fulton's killer call Crime Stoppers at 222-STOP (937-222-7867).

Press Release

Beth Sorensen
Last week letters and emails went out to the applicants offered admission to the Reed College class of 2007. From an all-time record applicant pool of 2,276, Reed admitted 996 studentsa 44 percent admit rate, which is considerably lower than last years rate of 55 percent and 71 percent two years ago. Reed hopes to welcome 325 new freshmen to Reed next fall.
Behind the statistics (SAT mean of nearly 1400, GPA mean of 3.955, and ACT mean of 30), the admitted students are clearly those whose love of learning is palpable, whose interest in ideas is contagious, and whose talents and interests are impressive. We are confident that the admitted students will carry on the Reed tradition of intellectual engagement and community involvement.
The students admitted will bring diverse backgrounds to Reed. They are from 31 foreign countries and 47 states. They are multicultural: 22 percent identify themselves as students of color. They resist categorization: 12 percent chose not to identify their ethnicity.
Reed College looks forward to welcoming admitted students and their families to campus in April during Reed Activity Days, a concentrated period when all sides of Reed are on display. For those who have already been to campus or cannot schedule a visit, the college will hold gatherings in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Portland, Seattle, and San Francisco. Faculty members and current Reed students will represent Reed at several of these gatherings.
Reed College, in Portland, Oregon, is an undergraduate institution of the liberal arts and sciences dedicated to sustaining the highest intellectual standards in the country. With an enrollment of about 1,360 students, Reed ranks third in the undergraduate origins of Ph.D.s in the United States and second in the number of Rhodes scholars from a liberal arts college (31 since 1915).

Windows hits invisible resource limit, grinds to a halt and freaks out
I stuck with Windows XP until just a few months ago because I knew Vista was a disaster and that Windows 7 had a lot of BS design changes. But I'd had it up to here with being stuck with < 4 GB RAM (especially since I already had 16 GB in my machine) and my computer grinding to a halt as a result, so when I saw a good deal on Windows 7 Home Premium I bought it and installed the x64 version (on an AMD Phenom II x4 custom build). I knew I'd have to put up with a lot of BS in the design (just ran into another one yesterday), but the bargain would be that in exchange I'd get to use all 16 GB of my RAM and be freed from arbitrarily small desktop heap and other limits, I thought.
Well now Windows 7 is constantly grinding to a halt because of some invisible resource limit way before my RAM is exhausted. The computer will run fine up to a point, then it will start showing symptoms of flakiness such as Google Chrome windows giving me the "Aw, Snap!" blue screen, and pieces of the taskbar / system tray / quick launch not being rendered -- black squares that will sometimes be repainted if I mouseover them. Once Windows enters this flaky state of operation, it's only a matter of time before it really wigs out and practically any action I take -- opening one more browser / file explorer / whatever window, searching a web page with CTRL+F, opening a save file dialog (just happened while trying to prepare my example images), practically anything -- can suddenly trigger it to go totally haywire, displaying the taskbar and system tray at the top left of the screen and becoming unresponsive to normal interaction, with all kinds of blinking of UI elements. When this happens, I can't interact with those UI elements where they're rendered, but if I mouseover their normal locations at the bottom of the screen, I can see it rendering the rollover effects on them at the top.
Things that seem like they'd be helpful in regaining control of the computer just exacerbate the problem, such as trying to open Task Manager, ALT+TAB to change to a different window, etc. I've found that if I act quickly once this happens and don't try those other things I've just mentioned, I can usually get Windows to regain its composure long enough to start closing windows by dragging to change the height of the taskbar. That usually gets it to repaint the taskbar at the bottom and let me interact with it.
I've attached some images showing what it looks like when this happens and showing that I still have 7-8 GB of RAM free. The first image shows it in the flaky stage (8.21 GB / 51% used) and the second one shows it in full on freak out mode (8.67 GB / 54% used). In that one it's actually rendering the system tray both at the top left and bottom right at the same time, and the taskbar is nowhere in sight.
What is up with this? What resource limit is responsible for this and how can it be fixed? I want to use all of my RAM. If this is the kind of BS I'm going to have to deal with in Windows, I might be done with it and just switch to Ubuntu.

I'm Rebecca Wells and this is Ziggy
We're from Northeast, Ohio (Cleveland Area)
Why a MINI?
In April 2007 my husband's jeep was totaled and he was dragging me around looking at cars, just a little before that we were watching a car show that did a review on MINI Cooper's and one of the lines was it is a great car if you can get over the fact that Bob the Builder got Jiggy with the gauges. I insisted that we look at the MINI. My husband fell in love with the MINI and ordered his, Jiggy was received in July 2007. After a few months of having Jiggy, I decided that I wanted a MINI we talked and decided that I would order one in 2009. In February 2008, I was out running around with the family and saw a used MINI on a lot, I pulled in to check it out. It was a 2004 Pepper White with Tartan Red interior. I looked at the car and took it for a drive, I left, white was my least favorite color. Five minutes from the lot I turned around and purchased Ziggy, all within an hour of first seeing her sitting alone. I knew that we were meant to be together, I loved the interior and knew a fabulous vinyl guy, thank goodness skiing was bad that February day or I would have missed out on Ziggy. In March we decided to go to the Dragon I knew I had to have my vinyl before I left. Working with Matt at Visual Graphics, I decided to go with Red metallic vinyl after playing with several designs I came up with the pattern currently on Ziggy. When talking about MY MINI, I always hear yeah but, it's just a Cooper which lead me to place "Just a Cooper" body art on Ziggy. 63k in three years has been a great deal of fun and we are looking forward to many more MINI miles.

The Ngadju (also known as the Marlpa) people of Western Australia retain a detailed knowledge about their Indigenous 'calendar' of times, seasons and indicators as it pertains to Ngadju country.
CSIRO worked with the Ngadju community to develop a summary of elements of their seasonal ecological knowledge1. Knowledge was shared by more than 50 members of the Ngadju community during a series of six workshops held over 11 days during 2009–10.
Added to this summary are additional material that describe the operation of the project, the region in which Ngadju country is located, previous research on this topic, the names of workshop attendees, and lists of Ngadju words, plant species, animal species and references that are cited.

Phillips, Anna C., Carroll, Douglas, Evans, Philip D., Bosch, Jos A., Clow, Angela, Hucklebridge, Frank and Der, Geoff (2006) Stressful life events are associated with low secretion rates of immunoglobulin A in saliva in the middle aged and elderly. Brain, Behavior, and Immunity, 20 (2). pp. 191-197. ISSN 0889-1591Full text not available from this repository.
Whether chronic stress experience is related to downregulation of secretory immunoglobulin A (S-IgA) was tested in two substantial cohorts, one middle aged (N = 640) and another elderly (N = 582), comprising similar numbers of men (N = 556) and women (N = 666) and manual (N = 606) and non-manual (N = 602) workers. Participants indicated from a list of major stressful life events, up to six, they had experienced in the past 2 years. They also rated how disruptive and stressful the events were, at the time and now, as well as their perceived seriousness; the products of these impact values and event frequency were adopted as measures of stress load. From unstimulated 2-min saliva samples, saliva volume and S-IgA concentration were measured, and S-IgA secretion rate determined as their product. There was a negative association between the stress load measures and the S-IgA secretion rate, still evident following adjustment for such variables as smoking and saliva volume. The associations also withstood adjustment for sex, cohort, and household occupational status. Although these associations are small in terms of the amount of variance explained, they nonetheless suggest that chronic stress experience either decreases IgA production by the local plasma cells or reduces the efficiency with which S-IgA is transported from the glandular interstitium into saliva. Given the importance of S-IgA in immune defence at mucosal surfaces and the frequency with which infections are initiated at these surfaces, S-IgA downregulation could be a means by which chronic stress increases susceptibility to upper respiratory tract infection.
