I had a wonderful Christmas! It was full of family, good food, resting and celebrating the birth of our Savior. I made the oatmeal chocolate chip cookies for Christmas Eve. I could pretend that they are healthy. I could tell you about how oatmeal has soluble fiber that is good for your heart. I could tell how chocolate has flavonoids. I could tell you how it is trans fat free, but this time I won't. I will just tell you that they are delicious.
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
1 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups flour
1 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
2 cups oatmeal
Semisweet Chocolate Chips (mini or regular), mini M&M, butterscotch chips or a mixture of the above to taste.
Cream sugar, butter, eggs and vanilla. Add dry ingredients and mix. Add chips after your mixture has come together. Drop 1 Tbsp of batter onto cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes, or until slightly brown. Cool one minute and then remove to wire rack for crisper cookies. Makes about 3 dozen cookies.

I have written a couple of posts recently about my views on the recent doping charges brought against Lance Armstrong and in my last post on this I broached the bug bear I have with the way us so called "Lance fans" are derided for seemingly appearing to possess no critical faculties in our desire to keep Lance on some sort of pedestal.
Well I have answered that one and now I feel compelled to move past addressing what has been up until now seen as the Lance supporter camp versus those who argue that we must know, it is important to know everything about this era of cycling so the sport can finally move on and as one journalist argued that it would finally help to heal the sport. Okay well now we are in very different territory with this latest round of doping allegations against Lance. As Outside magazine themselves, and I might add coming from this particular publication considering their historical negative Lance stance, and therefore I truly appreciate their opinion and feel it has a lot of weight, well I feel that for me their journalists argument encapsulates in a nut shell what many of us deeply feel, we have now entered a period where it is not so much the argument anymore of whether we need to know or not, but the "how "of the way USADA are pursuing this case, that now must be addressed.
I have not been able to pinpoint exactly why I have felt so un well each time I have seen the events in this particular case that have unfolded since mid-June gather pace like a freight train . The speed and momentum of this case against Lance has been quite astonishing. I think Outside magazine has finally put the finger on it for me. It doesn't sit right because the way the end result that is desired by USADA is being pursued , is beginning to feel as if it is riding rough shod all over a person's right to reply in a timely manner.
I must interject now with something personal that has just happened to me and it has happened at a moment in all of this that has starkly brought in to relief just what it must feel like right now for Lance, that sensation of being backed in to a corner with a deluge coming at you of accusations and not feeling as if you have the space or room to reply in a manner that feels in any way fair. I had a difference of opinion with someone a day or so ago that really escalated, it escalated to a shocking degree resulting in me receiving an email of the likes I have never had the misfortune of opening in my entire life. I am absolutely not going to go in to this here and I am also not going to imply either that the content of my email equates in any way to what Lance has to deal with right now. It is just that feeling, the feeling of being cornered to an extent where you cannot breathe. I would not wish it on anyone and I think if we are all honest as humans with feelings and hence empathy, because we all do possess the same spectrum of human emotions, that is what is going on now for a lot of people, even those not in the Lance camp so to speak, because of that empathy we all possess because we know what it feels like to well be human so to speak, we are all coming to this, that this process, it all doesn't sit well with us.
If you think about it that is what has enabled our society to evolve in the way it has through the ages, that ability to empathise. It has meant that quite often we have been able to pull back and weigh up situations, that however much maybe in some ways it can be argued that a pursuit of justice is being undertaken, that if the "how" is becoming misguided in certain ways, empathy will prevail and so as the Outside magazine itself argues, sometimes we must drop things. Simple as, because it is just not possible to pursue a matter and keep it within the bounds of what you can expect another person to be able to cope with. None of us really want to wish an unbearable weight of emotional pain upon another human being. That is what I think makes us truly special as a society, this evolution of respect of a person's well being over all else.
Can many of us actually maintain at this stage that the way this is being pursued against Lance is going to result in a situation whereby more good than harm is going to come of the eventual resolution USADA are gunning for at the rapid pace they are pushing it forward? For many of my fellow LIVESTRONG Leaders it has gotten to the point where I have seen comments tonight not of as some of you might be levelling at us of our constant discussion of lance's innocence, no there is barely a mention of this debate, many comments are really about the USADA process and as one of us pointed out, many people long ago made up their minds about this debate and now with the way this is being pursued it will cause more hurt than good.
What bothers me the most about all this, is when I peruse some of the more vitriolic twitter conversations of those who very much are at the opposite end of my camp in all this, when I manage to clear away the truly unpalatable stuff and look closely at their arguments and debates and in some cases some really very well written blog posts, well in all of it I say to myself these people truly have nothing to gain from any of this as they know what they know and are long decided, it provides for them merely hours of interesting debate nothing more. Yet there are so many and yes I do speak now of those who rely so very much on the care and services and crucially hope they receive from LIVESTRONG, in some cases very innocent people in terms of their knowledge of this whole cycling saga, they truly have a lot to lose in all of this. Then of course there is Lance, his family and friends. I shudder to think what it is like for them at the moment.
I have sifted through all the debates over the last few days, that is how I am I like to read and understand as much as I can even the most extreme diametrically opposed views to my own, then all the more generalised less emotional stuff in the middle, and then yes of course the opinions of those in my camp who truly love LIVESTRONG and their mission. I must conclude that the way this is shaping up, the course and speed and process of this pursuit, I see more damage than good coming from this. I do not trust speed in any process, you only have to look at the so called "locomotives of history" that have resulted in revolution, and we know how all those processes have ended up. However "right "people, organisations, governments etc. might be there are usually processes attached to things that plod along fairly slowly in the way they come to a resolution.
Whatever the outcome of all of this for Lance, and yes it goes without saying I fall into the camp of many who will be behind him regardless of the outcome of these proceedings, I feel many of us will be left with feeling that the "how" of this process left a lot to be desired and I think once this becomes the historical footnote that everything ends up being eventually, it will not be viewed as a favourable one.
I hope there are more and more of us out there who put empathy first in our consideration of all this and I will leave this tonight with this question. How far can you push a man, a human being?

RUSTENBURG, South Africa -- South Africa's major Christian churches, as deeply divided over the years as its political institutions, took the unprecedented step yesterday of uniting in opposition to apartheid and denouncing it as a sin.
But in a demonstration of the differences that still divide the churches and their constituencies, the Dutch Reformed Church immediately disassociated itself from parts of a statement issued at the end of the historic conference.
The action came at the close of a five-day meeting of church leaders representing millions of South Africans, including whites who staunchly supported the government's racial policy and blacks who suffered harassment and persecution because they fought against it.

Only a Couple of Days Until Summit!
Sleep? What is sleep when there are but a few days between now and Citrix Summit in Vegas?!?
Between watching the Seahawks game last Sunday (go HAWKS!) and writing my keynote, I saw a creative new TV ad for visiting Vegas where the tag line was "Transformation: Vegas, be who you are, or anyone else."
The video had me chuckling how perfect it was for Citrix Summit in Vegas in a few days. This is a year of transformation, and a time where the tech market, Citrix, our customers and our partners are all transforming.
Citrix Solution Advisors are becoming Citrix Service Providers. Customers with on–premise solutions are moving to public, private or hybrid cloud at a hastened pace. Security is an ever-growing concern to the mid-market as businesses awaken to the need to provide convenience and security for the real-life way their employees work.
I think Citrix Summit 2016 will be all the more important and interesting as a result of this transformation that's already underway.
Expect Exciting
We have a number of exciting announcements at Summit and I don't want to spoil the surprise, but here are a couple of topics we'll be covering:
- Innovation: This one I REALLY can't talk about – but suffice it to say, the Product Leads are ready to share some cool stuff.
- Growth through Land & Expand: With the "triggers" in the market (Security, Cloud, Windows 10 launch) comes opportunity – and growth!
- Channel Transformation & Acceleration: Gain insights into profitability with market research data that shows you where the partner business is going (hint: mid market) and where Citrix is going to increase investment in you.
New, What's New?!
Let's start with our new (interim) CEO Bob Calderoni in the opening keynote talking top line Citrix company strategy. For those of you who haven't met Bob, I can tell you having worked with him a bit now, he's a straight-shooting, tell-it-as-it-is, humble leader. Expect a very real "State of Citrix" talk from Bob.
Carlos Sartorius, our fearless sales leader (SVP Worldwide Sales & Services), will discuss new ways we can capture a huge and growing market opportunity. And, of course, I will be talking about our deepening partner engagement and commitment to the channel. I hope to close out to cheers of support for the things Citrix is bringing to our partners in 2016.
Get to know Tim Minahan, our new Chief Marketing Officer as he MCs the Summit event.
On day 2, the Tech Talks Keynote will speak to the Citrix innovation that's NOW…
Let's Get Social
I can't think of a better way to begin the new year than gathering with our partners at Summit to launch a very successful 2016. Let's keep in touch on Twitter throughout the conference (Yes, I will personally be tweeting between sessions and partner meetings!) @_KimberlyMartin
And although we are getting down to the wire, there is still time to register for Citrix Summit.
See you in Vegas!

New York, NY 10026
ph: 212-722-2509
alt: 646-228-7813
Pediatric spay and neuter is now a well established practice in the shelter system. Whatever the disadvantages of the practice the benefits are believed to far outweigh them. The main reason the practice works as well as it does is that kittens (and puppies) can be spayed and neutered as young as eight weeks and cared for as they heal from these invasive and complicated surgical procedures within shelters and homes. The care in home and shelter environments allows the infants sufficient time to heal and any post surgical complications can be addressed.
TNR programs when properly implemented are effective at controlling feral cat populations in a compassionate and humane way. However, it is now becoming routine practice to release neutered kittens and lactating mothers 24 hours of less after invasive surgeries back to their natal environments.
Deprived of adequate recovery time, the necessary sufficient time to heal post surgery, kittens are simply too young to survive the process. Lactating mothers are taken from dependent kittens for the span of the TNR process and released back to their habitats fresh from an invasive procedure with a fresh sutured incision at the site of the mammary glands they need to nurse their young with.
I became aware of this problem after seeing the work of The New York City Feral Cat Initiative (an umbrella agency working under the Mayor's NYC Alliance for animals) in action. I live in East Harlem, an area abundant with feral cat colonies. I became quite familiar with the individual kittens living in the vacant lot next door to my building. When I came home one evening to see the kittens being trapped I cautioned the women doing the trapping about how important age limits are. However, they observed the protocols and practices of the program. These kittens died a slow and painful death within a matter of weeks after being released. My sister brought the last kitten we found in severe distress to be euthanized. How much more humane it would have been to euthanize these animals directly after trapping.
I have contacted the mayor's office, been contacted and spoken at length with the Veterinary Services department of the NYC Department of Health and exchanged a string of e-mails with Nancy Peterson, the feral cat program director for the Humane Society of the United States. Ms. Peterson's initial response to me was that kittens in TNR programs are not released back to colonies but adopted out. In her last response to me she quotes a veterinarian who states that "surely some kittens will die if returned to their colonies after neutering" and who cites a Florida study on the survival rate of TNR cats (as if weather is a not a significant variable in survival).
Some twenty-five years ago when the practice of pediatric spay and neuter was first introduced into the shelter system there was much debate over the impacts on immature animals. At no point in the debates, the studies and the conversations was a variable ever raised that it might somehow be acceptable medical practice to surgically alter infants and leave them in vacant lots without convalescent care.
Everyone here feels they are on the side of the angels. What is being left out of the equation is that any humane conservation or management effort must by definition not allow humans to be the agents of direct suffering and death. It is dangerous to accept any less than this.
TNR programs run on the volunteer efforts. Most if not all volunteers believe in the good of the work they are doing. Exposing the dangers in current practices can ensure that good work is done.
In my graduate program we are taught of the virtues of "adaptive management" with regard to management of wildlife programs. Adaptive management simply means we must learn from our mistakes, we are warned against the dangers of being reluctant to admit failures and not adapting our programs.

Many people find it difficult to get the perfect furniture for their home as there are so many different options to choose from. In this article, I will help you to choose the best furniture for your home, especially for your bedroom.
There are some basic things that you need in your bedroom
Bed in the most important piece of furniture in your bedroom, but every bed is a good fit for you. When choosing a bed you need to keep in mind what size you need and have a space for.
The other thing that is important to think about is the design, there are so many different designs. If you want something cheap you can just choose a bed from cheap furniture shops. If however, you want to make your bedroom special and unique you can choose a furniture from a designer company which will design the bed just for you.
The other important piece of furniture that you need in your bedroom is a wardrobe. You need to think a long time before you choose a wardrobe for your bedroom as that is something that you do not change every month. If you do not have much space in your bedroom I'd recommend a small fitted wardrobe. These are great as they do not take up more space than needed. However, if you have a massive bedroom lots of clothes that need storage id recommend you to get a walk in wardrobe. These are great as they have a great amount of space for you're your clothes.

Clint Eastwood, Amy Adams, Justin Timberlake Attend 'Trouble With the Curve' Premiere
Eastwood plays a baseball scout in Robert Lorenz's directorial debut.
Amy Adams and Justin Timberlake joined Clint Eastwood on the green carpet Wednesday night for the Trouble With the Curve premiere in Westwood Village. In the Warner Bros. drama, Eastwood plays a baseball scout whose advanced age and weakening vision takes him on a journey with his daughter (Adams), with whom he is forced to make amends.
Eastwood returned in front of the camera for his new film after making plans to retire from acting. While much of the cast, including John Goodman and Matthew Lillard, said it was the idea of working with a legend such as Eastwood that brought them onto doing the movie, the star of the film said he got interested in the project because of the people involved as well as the story itself.
PHOTOS: Fall Movie Preview 2012: Major New Releases From Spielberg, Jackson, Tarantino, the Wachowskis, Burton and More
"I've done films like Million Dollar Baby that had father-daughter relationships and even Gran Torino did an adopted family sort of thing, and this was just a family project between a father and daughter," Eastwood said. "He doesn't want to bring her down and he wants the best for her. He knows he's having problems, so he tries to shove her away."
The film marked Robert Lorenz's directing debut after partnering with Eastwood as a producer for several years.
"It was great. He let me do my thing, he took direction. I came in very well prepared so he wouldn't feel like he needed to jump in there," Lorenz said of working with Eastwood on opposite ends of the camera. "We have a good time on set, so we just had fun."
Trouble With the Curve opens in theaters nationwide on Friday, Sept. 21.

cup uncooked quinoa - makes ~2 cups cooked quinoa (I used black and red quinoa)
juice of 1 lime
tablespoons chopped cilantro
salt and pepper, to taste
head of butter lettuce
- In a mixing bowl, toss the chopped tomatoes, avocado, cilantro, salt, pepper and lime juice. Once everything is mixed and coated well with the condiments, refrigerate the mixture while you cook the quinoa. You want all the flavors to seep into the veggies.
- Cook the quinoa as directed on the box/bag it came in. I usually cook it in water (1 cup uncooked quinoa to 1 1/4 cup water) and add some salt and a slice of lemon or lime to flavor it.
- Wash and dry the lettuce and set the individual leaves on a platter. Scoop 3 tbsp of cooked quinoa onto each leaf of lettuce and then spoon the tomato-avocado mixture.
- Serve cold as an appetizer, side dish or even a healthy lunch.

After the introduction of our Booking table and its overlap constraint, all is going well when the rules are suddenly shifted.
The requirement now is that each resource (Room) has a certain availability and can only be booked during those times. Each room will have its own unique available times expressed as a Day of the week and the start time and end time during that day. Non consecutive times are all so permitted.As an example Room 1 is available between 9AM and 5PM Monday to Friday, but Room 2 is only available on a Monday and there is a 1...
It looked like a normal day. The cars where smoking, the birds where coughing and the daily caffeine war had already begun. "Coffee making is an art" read the sign on the footpath. Then why is a machine making it? The users don't care, as long as it tastes good.

Well tickle me pink.. but what the hell does that mean? I suspect that either the author has only ever worked on a single front-end/single database/single security account scenarios or has absolutely no clue what views are for.
Besides the security goodness, abstraction of underlying complexity and its data integrity features, I suppose you could say they are useless.... :-)

Thanks for your feedback!
Good , solid debut of a paranormal series for YALila Merriweather is on her own ever since her mother's death and she tries to avoid involving other people's problems until the day she rescues Devon Sinclair from being killed. After that, she's coerced into working as a Devon's bodyguard for Sinclair's family. At the beginning , she tries not to be friendly with other people from Sinclair's family but she cannot help but like them and be protective of her new found friends. This book has a little bit of magic but not too overwhelmed and the main characters are likeable.by CP on July 31, 2016

Cold Burn of MagicLila Merriweather tried to keep out of all the power plays but a wrong choice has her stuck putting everything on the line for Devon Sinclair and it looks like she's going to end up just like her mom in this exciting new fantasy. Lila Merriweather is an exceptional thief and she does just fine on her own and the reader can't help but get drawn into this intriguing fantasy adventure as Lila makes the choice to save the life of a cute guy which results in the very thing she's spent her life avoiding. The characters are strong, charismatic and grab the reader's attention from the very beginning and the steady to faced plot keeps anticipation building with lots suspense, excitement and magic. The fascinating and magical town of Cloudburst Falls intrigues readers and captures them as easily as the tourist with its magic and promises of fairy tales but the tourist are clueless to the true happenings in the town of Cloudburst where rival Family members kill each other for power which builds lots of expectation and excitement throughout the story and of course the magical attacks and escalating danger adds thrills and chills as Lila tries to keep Devon safe and sound. The monsters in the town add spice and intrigue while manipulations, betrayals and unexpected surprises keep the readers guessing and the well written scenes and details capture the imagination and makes it easy for the reader to become completely immersed in the adventure. This is a young adult story so sorry there is no sex scenes although there is some flirtations and quite a bit of violence, magic and adventure with some emotional turmoil and a kick ass heroine that takes her licks and keeps on going, she's got a bit of an attitude but she's smart and she'll sneak her way into your heart like a thief in the night and I can't wait to find out what happens next. 4 1/2 STARSby StormyVixen on August 07, 2015

What is Mixed Migration?
The concept of mixed migration is a relatively new phenomenon and is of rising importance, both in terms of sheer numbers and with regard to political significance at national, regional and global levels. One definition frames mixed migration as consisting of complex population movements including refugees, asylum seekers, economic migrants and other migrants (IOM), while another describes them as people travelling in an irregular manner along similar routes, using similar means of travel, but for different reasons (UNHCR).
This phenomenon reflects the tendencies for an increasing number of people to migrate with greater risks, in search of a better future in more affluent parts of a globalized world. It also indicates that people are on the move for a combination of reasons that fundamentally are related to safeguarding physical and economic security. Conceptually mixed migration includes.
- Irregular migrants (dislodged by a real and/or perceived inability to thrive (economic migrants) or motivated by aspirations, a desire to unite with other family members etc. Their movement is often organized and facilitated by smugglers, although some move independently).
- Refugees and asylum-seekers (forced migrants).
- Victims of trafficking (involuntary migrants).
- Stateless persons.
- Unaccompanied minors and separated children and other vulnerable persons on the move.
These complex tendencies in the migration sector have contributed to increasing alarm, and in some cases xenophobia, in receiving countries. A development of more elaborate policies, systems and barriers have emerged or are emerging to regulate the movement of people across borders, in particular from the South to the North, but increasingly also within the South. In the Horn of Africa region this is evidenced by confused or changing immigration policies and laws towards different groups of irregular migrants.

Penn State's Red Cell Analytics Lab Uses THON And Technology To Better Prepare For Disasters
From football games to events like THON, Penn State works vigorously to ensure the safety of all attendees. In the event of an emergency or security threat, people need to evacuate safely and disaster response workers may even have to step in and save lives.
Student researchers in Penn State's Red Cell Analytics Lab are using THON to better understand how to develop strategies to mitigate security threats. The name "Red Cell" is a reference to military teams who adopt the mindset and tactics of enemies to better recognize security threats and analyze the best response.
Red Cell Lab team members are using a set of open-source technology platforms that combine geolocation, mobile technology, and social media to coordinate responses to disasters as efficiently as possible. The students in the Red Cell Lab only actually get to run the technology during large events like THON and during football games because these situations aren't typically possible in computer simulations.
When the Red Cell Lab runs exercises, members of their team go into events to collect information and report back to student analysts. In addition to their assets on the ground, the Red Cell Lab also monitors public social media sites like Twitter to gather information from the crowd to monitor large disaster areas.
During a fall football game at Beaver Stadium, the Red Cell Lab team noticed high traffic areas where there could be a problem if the stadium needed to be evacuated quickly. The information that the group has collected in the past has even assisted Penn State's emergency management team.
"Unless you've been on the scene of a disaster, it's probably hard to imagine just how chaotic and fluid things are," IST professor and Red Cell Lab advisor Jake Graham said. "Allowing teams to instantly gather and report back data to analysts gives the responders a chance to better pinpoint needs and reposition assets and personnel to those areas."

Nexus 5X vs OnePlus 2 comparison
Nexus 5X vs OnePlus 2 comparison: construction and set up top quality
What all of us understand concerning the particular Nexus 5X building thus significantly will be centered on leaks and renders, however adequate information consist of arrived for us toward obtain any fairly powerful thought of what it'll seem just like. It plays a fabulous building with a notable digicam, stereo audio speakers and a rounded finger scanner. It's not see-thorugh regardless of whether or not it'll contain the steel framework we've noticed within 4 renders, however we'd anticipate the particular typical striking LG establish top quality.
The OnePlus 2 seems nearer than predicted, and it's clearly additional sumptuous than the OnePlus One, whilst any substance think cheaper while an individual postpone it. The flimsier cosmetic back again panel is there toward permit swappable covers, and also these US$58 covers arrive within significantly nicer supplies which includes Kevlar and a few sorts of wood made: Bamboo, Black Apricot and Rosewood. It's a besmirch these supplies aren'k provided as common. The OnePlus 2 plays dual speaker grilles however simply one particular regarding them makes any noise – and, oddly for an Android handset these types of times, there's no NFC inner.
Nexus 5X vs OnePlus 2 comparison: screen

The OnePlus 2 show performs similar quality because the actual 2015 Nexus several – 1,920 x 1,080 – yet the particular display is any tiny greater at five.five inches, so the pixel density will be extremely somewhat reduce. We situated the show any tiny washed out likened to be able to a Galaxy S6 yet comparable in order to the LG G3 – and also since the particular Nexus is an LG apparatus, it'll be fascinating toward understand how those two machinery' displays comparison.
Nexus 5X vs OnePlus 2 comparison: processor and garage area

The OnePlus 2 functions an underclocked Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 processor and several GB of LPDDR4 RAM. That Snapdragon is the CPU behind any whole lot regarding the overheating and thermal throttling reports a person might possess observed here is yr, yet jogging it at reduce clock speeds and wearing comparatively competing thermal throttling seems towards consist of addressed that within the actual OnePlus 2. The OnePlus two performs 4 cores clocked at 1.five GHz and also several at 1.eight GHz, instead than the max of 2.1 GHz.
Nexus 5X vs OnePlus 2 comparison: digicam
The Nexus 5X will be predicted towards contain a 13.three MP major digicam and a several MP entrance-dealing with digicam for selfies. A provide tells us that it isn'k since very good because the actual digicam inside the particular LG G4: it's a part that performs apparently been airy inside buy to be able to gain the particular selling price beneath US$500.
The OnePlus 2 performs a tough luck MP primary digital camera with f/2.zero aperture, optical symbolic representation stabilization, twin-LED flash and laser vehicle-attention. You have obtained the ten-minute restrict on capturing 4K film, alongside together with choices for Total HD (1,080p) and HD (720p). It's absolutely not the particular very best digital camera on Android, yet it's ornamental close up to be able to the actual best within this particular value selection.
Nexus 5X vs OnePlus 2 comparison: battery
The Nexus 5X will be predicted towards consist of a 2,seven-hundred mAh battery. The OnePlus 2 battery arrives within at three,300 mAh, that's is ornamental reasonable for a several.several-inch Complete HD telephone; a few some other, much more costly mobile phones with QHD shows contain smaller batteries. The particular simply question is that all those cell phones consist of four ornamental competitive battery optimizations and settings, that's that OnePlus 2 lacks.
Within exercise we'd anticipate the Nexus, that's may have got the optimization that the OnePlus 2 lacks, towards send out similar or maybe even nearer battery life simply because it's additionally traveling a smaller display.
Nexus 5X vs OnePlus 2 comparison: application
As you'd assume, the 2015 Nexus five will operate supply Android, practically clearly Android M.
The OnePlus 2 runs model 2.zero of Oxygen OS, that is makes it think any tiny bit prefer My Original Nexus – it's a a bit tweaked, simplified edition of supply Android with any number of customized ROM-beauty functions such as theming, a Google Now-elegance software named Shelf and customized LED notifications.
Nexus 5X vs OnePlus 2 comparison: historic verdict
This might be unfair toward select a winner while 1 associated with those handsets will be continue to not rather truth, yet all of us understand adequate towards recognize the actual crucial benefits and weaknesses associated with every apparatus. We're planning on towards understand greatly the same faculties, closer pictures from the OnePlus 2's somewhat sophisticated digicam and also extremely identical battery life, regardless of the OnePlus 2's top-potential battery.
The Nexus is probably in order to be the particular far better browsing equipment, and it'll contain supply Android rather of OnePlus's somewhat tweaked edition. Worth-smart they will must be evenly matched too. If we had been spending our personal cash we believe we'd pass for the Nexus, whilst associated with training course a person ought to wait around with regard to the within-strength AndroidPIT evaluation ago committing towards spending any funds.

Interview with Peter Fodor
It's fast, maybe even too fast :-). The rules of the game change quickly and new opportunities emerge every day. Therefore, it's important to use common sense and focus on what's important for a specific business in a specific time. I see that the most common mistake in mobile space is doing the wrong thing at wrong time which results in losing precious time and money.What should be the biggest focus for app developers and marketers in 2017?
As in every business, to fully understand who your customers are and what is the value for them. I'm surprised how rare the deep understanding is of these two essential parts of business success. Everything else should evolve from this point: what are the business KPIs and the data we collect, how we present the app in the store, what is the right target and advertising message, etc.What was your favorite app in 2016?

Last week I touched quickly, insufficiently, on the issue of algorithmic reality. And that brought to my mind Vilém Flusser's concern with technical images. And so I thought I must say a few things about that now. But before algorithms can come to the foreground I need to say a few things about writing à la Flusser. In what follows I'll be citing especially "Letters of the Alphabet," an essay in the collection Does Writing Have a Future?
|Source: Te Ipu Pakore: The Broken Vessel
Vilém Flusser's theories of writing have a strong historical grounding. He proposed that writing makes history. That, on the one hand, it is a practice with a background, with a beginning (Sumerian tablets, Egyptian papyri, Roman wax tablets and stone inscriptions, and so on and so forth). On the other hand, thought, writing makes History. It was only after the invention of writing that historical consciousness was made possible.
The lines that put an end to a babble
The possibility to arrange events in a linear manner, to speak of them as ordered, is the by-product of writing itself. None of this was possible before writing, when, says Flusser, the world existed in a state of mythical consciousness; when language itself was not yet settled, not yet set in stone (or in whatever).
"It is possible to claim that people of that time babbled."
Because of the absence of writing, pre-literate cultures could not have spoken the way we do, because they had not yet gone down writing's path.
With writing things became different in the world and in language. With writing we start to see events through the lens of their inclination towards linear ordering. One after another, events partake in a curious pageant that leaves traces on surfaces, i.e. creates a history of the event's presence and its advancement towards the next event. With writing, we can imagine what has caused an event and what is likely to be inferred from it. That's because we can see the before and the after of the event in a linear arrangement. And once we can see that we can't see otherwise: events must have causes and must produce effects. Writing has made it possible to speak of origins and of projections into the future.
Logic itself is the result of writing, says Flusser. Logic, as a form of syllogistic bargaining with data based on causes and effects, on premises and conclusions, on inferences and injunctions, with the intention of arriving at a truth with a chronology of its own, is a derivative, again, of writing, and of its ability to put things into straight lines.
A simple formula
The success of writing appears to have been due to the simplicity of its formula. Once the world is presented in straight lines, it becomes easier to re-present. The simplification that came with the creation of specialized signs (letters able to synthetize the world through simple combinations) turned the human mind away from pictographic representations, which, realistic as they may have been, were time-consuming and sedentary. The Lascaux paintings are still in Lascaux because the caves could not be transported anywhere else; and so, in order to have access to the signs represented there, one had to be there, in Lascaux.
|Source: Musées Royaux d'Art et d'Histoire
I can imagine elitism catching roots right there, in the darkness of those caves. Those who could not afford the privilege of seeing the murals were left outside of knowledge, outside of humanhood, forced to gang up with other prehistoric ignoramuses. Deep inside the caves, those paintings were guarded from the outside world by their very remoteness and, by being guarded, they were also preserved.
Writing did not eliminate preservation from the scheme. Hence its success. Since the ability to eternalize an event through pictographic signs was a privilege of representation per se, writing could not ignore it. So it too advanced the promise of eternity. But on top of that, communication by means of these specialized signs presented this huge advantage of being movable. The human animal turns now its attention to lighter surfaces, easier to transport: tree bark, shells, animal hides. Things found in nature (simple, sympathetic to inscription, at hand) are now turned into support for writing.
The personalization of representation
The story goes on, but there's no time here to go into details. The point, as Flusser formulated it, is this: before writing, the connection with the world was not completely severed. Of course, the animal painted on a cave wall is not the animal itself but a representation of it: a reminder that such things exist out there, beyond the threshold of the cave. The representation, though, has full referential power: it does refer to an actual animal out there, it is an image of that animal.
Writing ruins this certainty. Writing intervenes between image and human being to unsettle their marriage. Letters are representations not of the world but of images of the world, images akin to the Lascaux paintings. This is apparent in the formal resemblance between Western letters and their referents:
"In the fifteen hundred years since their invention, their original form has changed repeatedly, and yet it remains recognizable: the two horns of the Semitic steer (Hebrew: aleph) in the A, the two domes of the Semitic house (Hebrew: beth) in the B, the hump of the Semitic camel (Hebrew: gimul) in the C. Letters are pictures of a cultural scene as it was perceived by those who invented the alphabet in the second millennium B.C. on the eastern Mediterranean."
This original resemblance has been forgotten, but it must be taken into consideration when we think of how the letters of the alphabet (or of other writing systems) have been allowed to act as representations of representations; of how they were welcomed at the representational games.
|Source: Women of Faith
And so, with the emergence of writing, the world took a step back in its relationship to the human element. Now, in order to make the cave painting accessible to others, a writer refers to that representation in an abstract way. He/she does not explain the world to their readers. What they explain is the representation they have of that world. So writing becomes not only a way of objectifying the world but also of personalizing representation, making it the product of the whim of a writer or other. Precisely because a written text can circulate, it can be present where the reality it refers to is not. A writer can describe in writing a bull or a wild horse, and the reader has to take his words for granted. In essence, there's no way of ascertaining the truth of an utterance when the referent is absent. That's how rhetoric became necessary: a way of persuading an audience devoid of direct access to the object. That's how logic turned up: as a way of proving the truth of the world by means of permutations of thoughts and by establishing a diagrammatic proof-building methodology. Both rhetoric and logic deal with abstractions, with their problems as well as their solutions.
No turning back for language
And hence the essential perversion of the relationship between language and writing:
"Something in the spoken language itself calls out to be fixed in place – and in fact, not so much in the memories of speakers and hearers, or in records or tapes, but rather in the writing itself. Spoken language seems to rush toward writing almost on its own, to become a written language and so to achieve its full maturity. After the invention of writing, spoken language appears to be a preparation for a written language, to teach people how to speak properly in the first place."
This progression mentioned by Flusser is due, of course, to the several stages of evolution that language has undertaken ever since the invention of writing. As writing turned to be language's technical way of materialization (its own technology), the invention of inscription, once acknowledged, could never be dis-acknowledged. And so language started takin shapes dictated not by its internal forces but by the forces of its technological apparatus (writing).
"Today we have hardly any access to preliterate speech. Even in nurseries and among illiterates, writing has permeated the language."
So the schism is total. The specialized signs of writing have taken over the realm of representation. But this victory lasted only this many centuries. Flusser finds photography to be the great rupture in the history of writing, the way towards a different form of formulating the world. With cameras and their encoded capabilities, the door was opened to what Flusser called technical images.
Of them (algorithms et al), next week, if the gods of writing are so inclined as to give us a chance.

I was asked recently by EatWisconsinCheese.com to come up with a few Super Bowl party recipes as part of their monthly "Entertaining with Wisconsin Cheese" feature. The first recipe that immediately came to mind was beer cheese soup.
If you're from Wisconsin like I am I'm sure you've tasted or have at least heard of beer cheese soup, but much like the Beermosa it's when I've talked to people from other parts of the country that I've realized that not everyone is familiar with this delicious concoction.
Based on the name alone I'm sure that you can probably pick out that the two main ingredients in beer cheese soup are beer and cheese. Aside from that though the rest of the recipe is pretty much open to interpretation. A lot of restaurants for example like to top the soup with pieces of popcorn. I on the other hand prefer using diced bits of bacon.
I think what I'm most impressed about by this beer cheese soup recipe (aside from how great it tasted) was how good the picture of it ended up looking. Just staring at it right now as I write this blog post is making my mouth water. It looks like something you'd see in an issue of Martha Stewart Living. Also yeah, that was me admitting that I read Martha Stewart Living. Make fun of me all you want, but you know what? I got a free subscription and there are actually some pretty awesome recipes in there!
Now that you're done laughing at me for my choice of reading material you probably wanna know where to find my beer cheese soup recipe right? Just head over to EatWisconsinCheese.com where they have it posted along with my recipes for a pretty fantastic slow cooker Reuben dip as well as deep fried chocolate cheese fudge.
5 Comments on Beer Cheese Soup
That looks amaaaazzzzzzzing- love the pretzel bread bowls!
If I have a Super Bowl party, can I just have you cater it? DudeFoods catering…
Would you recommend serving anything else with beer cheese soup? Like brats or anything like that?

Discarded 2 Divine Friday April 12, 2013
Thanks so much you guys, and I hope to see you this Friday!
Did you see my other post about Discarded to Divine? Did you? Did you? Huh?
I haven't settled on a finalized design for the gown, although I'm pretty sure about the coat. But I do know that I'll be utilizing cartridge pleats, which were used extensively in historical costuming from the 16th century onwards.
This year I'll be participating in the Discarded to Divine charity event! Put on by the St. Vincent de Paul Society, the event will be hosted by the de Young Museum, where there will be an exhibit of the entries on April 12, 2013. This year's inspirational theme is Girl With a Pearl Earring, which will also be on display at the museum as part of the Vermeer exhibit.
Yesterday I picked up my fabric from the SVDP Wellness Center, which will be the recipient of the event's fundraising.
"The Ozanam Wellness Center began in 2009 to more effectively and compassionately meet the needs of the most vulnerable individuals in our City who are struggling with addiction and mental health issues. By combining the "best practices" of spirituality and clinical methods, we are addressing the whole person who is suffering, and empowering our guests to make positive changes for ongoing recovery. The overarching vision of the Wellness Center is to foster right relationship: justice, love and peace among all who pass through our doors, with a special focus on those who are struggling with addiction to drugs and/or alcohol and mental health issues."
I ended up choosing this pale seafoam faille, and was thrilled to get about 15 yards of it along with at least the same amount of vibrant chlorophyll green shantung silk. The donor was an event planner who used them to decorate spaces, hence the extravagant amounts. This will allow me to do something really spectacular, since I can't generally afford to buy nice fabrics in those amounts.
Accepting the fact that my website is perpetually under construction, I felt it prudent to create a post showcasing some of my more exciting work.
My strongest professional capabilities are in bridal and eveningwear. I enjoy the level of diligence and extravagance allowed by the category.
This made-to-measure gown was created completely from concept for Marilee Talkington, a fiery actress with a singular vision for her black-box theater wedding. The skirt texture, inspired by tropical leaves and flowers, was created from 8 yards of silk organza stitched onto tulle and layered over crepeback satin. The fully boned bodice is the same satin ruched onto panels of cotton drill.

The head of Bank of America's Merrill wealth management division just retired. He was the last exec left from the former Merrill - He is a great guy and liked by all of the FA's. Who will replace him? Someone from the Bank or from Smith Barney? The integration is complete - what next? - Does the Merrill name go away?

We understand that visitors to our site will want to be reassured that they will be able to contact reputable breeders. We expect all our listed breeders to comply with the General Code of Ethics for Breeders and Owners, recommended by the Governing Council of the Cat Fancy (GCCF). http://www.gccfcats.org/pdf/ethics.pdf
We would strongly recommend anyone who is looking for a pedigree kitten to first read this document and that they satisfy themselves that any breeder they contact complies with it.
We also recommend that when approaching breeders to purchase kittens you check the official suspension list on the GCCF website – buying a kitten from a suspended breeder will hinder any GCCF registration of kittens. The LaPerm Cat Club does not knowingly allow Breeders who are on the GCCF suspension list to be listed on this site but cannot accept responsibility if one is listed in error.

Dr. Valeri Sacknoff Says Thorough Research Is Vitally Important When Looking for a Dentist to Correct Teeth Imperfections and Brighten Your Smile
Dr. Valeri Sacknoff Says Thorough Research Is Vitally Important When Looking for a Dentist to Correct Teeth Imperfections and Brighten Your Smile
POWAY, CA--(Marketwired - Sep 2, 2014) - For many people, a beautiful smile showcasing healthy teeth and gums can be a huge part of making a good impression on others. Dr. Valeri Sacknoff, a cosmetic dentist in Poway, says treatments such as teeth whitening, porcelain dental veneers, dental implants, and bonding are some of the many ways in which people have successfully enhanced the appearance of their smiles. However, Dr. Sacknoff notes that there are a few things individuals should look for when considering cosmetic dentists in order to increase the chances of getting advanced treatment and results that line up with their personal expectations.
In a recent blog post on Pomerado Cosmetic Dentistry's website titled, "Choosing the Right Cosmetic Dentist," Dr. Sacknoff offers some tips and guidance for those looking to renew their smile. She says a good place to start is the dentist's website, where one can get an idea of his or her background and experience: "Look for indications as to how many years they have been in practice, whether they are a member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (an organization which requires high skill levels in cosmetic dentistry), and mentions of continuing their dental education." Dr. Sacknoff says dentists who pursue further education after they have already attained the necessary requirements for care often show that they are committed to learning about the latest treatment advances, which can then be implemented in their practices.
Another thing to look for, notes Dr. Sacknoff, are before-and-after photos of some of the dentist's previous patients. She says these images can show people considering these same types of treatment what the results can potentially look like when that particular dentist performs the procedure. Dr. Sacknoff notes that patient testimonials and reviews can also be helpful in establishing an idea of what the experience will be like and how others view the dentist's care.
Finally, Dr. Sacknoff says people should consider the types of dental technology available at the practice and how some of the treatments are performed. She says dentists who offer state-of-the-art equipment and techniques, such as laser dentistry, digital x-ray photography, and other advanced systems, can often make a visit to the dentist more comfortable and convenient.
Ultimately, Dr. Sacknoff says people should never be afraid to ask questions and find out exactly what the dentist offers, the kind of experience he or she has, and what other patients have to say. "A good dentist should encourage honest and open communication so that you are both on the same page in terms of your needs and goals."
