App Reviews for Micromax Canvas Nitro 2
Keondra DewWhat are words?I don't even text anymore I just use my bitmoji to express my feelings. I love it. It's fun. My friends think it's cool. It's easy to use. And has a bitmoji for every situation and feeling. Try it out...the only down fall is the process of sending it to people through messages. Still worth it.
DaySun ThorndykeBITMOJILove this app!! I have so much fun with my husband and daughter and ALL my friends too!! I found it just by accident and I started using it and now everyone I know uses it and their families and friends and etc.. Makes for a few good laughs at times when you REALLY need one!! Keep up the GREAT work. My Favorite APPLICATION of 2016!!
SparklyTummiesNice but needs more options.I like it but it has too few lip shapes. The female versions also have really oddly shapped bodies. Very top heavy. It should give you options to give them bigger hips perhaps. Also maybe add birthmarks.
Cristine KorowajczukI love the app and the bitmojis. Love that they are always adding new ones. My only comment is that there are several bitmojis I know I'll never use and some that I really like are lost in between them so when I want a specific one I can never find it. The search function helps but sometimes I just don't remember they are even available. It would be nice if I could reorganize the bitmojis within each tab so I can put the ones I think I would use more towards the top and the others down on the page.
Ravenna and FamilyIt's so awesomeThey have alot of Bitmojis but I want more. You should get this app because you can use them on almost any app on your device 👍 you can also change your avatars clothes as much as you want and there is a variety of clothes.
Gloria McNealThis is the best app I've used thus far. I am a more seasoned adult and I love this. The only thing missing is the choice to change the height. You can send stickers and not have to guess what they mean. Thanks Bitmoji.
Kevin DooleyPasseToo many Bitmojis about things not really all that popular such as Zoolander, Batman v Superman, X-Men Apocalypse (Why not just X-Men and DC characters and the Avengers?). However, so many other great ones.
AnonymousLove the ideas and options they allow you to choose and I love my mini me. Mine is a little buggy because I sometimes have to click several times for it to send the right bitmoji and not recently used ones. Still worth the download :)
Otaku GoddessIt's really great!I am only upset with a few things. And I also have some suggestions. I have NF1 and would like a feature to add a bunch of freckles because I have a ton. It'd also be nice if there was makeup and dresses and stuff for boys along with suits and just general guy stuff for women. I'd love it of there was an option to maybe customize clothes? Like make your own? That sounds cool..but other wise I love it 4.9/10
Margie BlankenshipThere used to be a way to find some bitmojis that had you and the person you were having a conversation with as long as they have the app too. Can't find it anywhere. What happened to it??? Bring that back, I'll go back to 5 stars! Otherwise, Love this app.
Leslie WinansSweet App!!I love my avatar, but I just wish there were more hairstyles like afros, afro puffs and braids. But other than that small thing, It's a blast! I really love all the sharing features and the various and fun ways I can send texts, emails, etc. My friends are gonna get sick of me!
Marissa RondinoneSuper fun and perfect for sharing emotions, but my one and only complaint is how limited the clothing choices are. I wish we could mix and match tops, bottoms, and shoes we are most comfortable with presenting - right now we're forced to choose whatever outfits are already assembled and I feel that's very limited. I don't have full control of how I'd like my bitmoji to dress and I wish I could. I hope this could be a new feature in future updates!
Michelle OwensIt would get a 5 star rating if I could add a cleft chin!!! Quite a defining feature on a person, I'd say. You get a choice of "5 million" wrinkles or creases but NO butt chin!!!??? Stupid
Kimberlyn LangLove itLove the situations hope door other and more areas to include dressing. Other situations Hospital services being a nurse doctor lawyer . Put some movement and speech with me some kind of synthesised voices out let it speak what you have written.
Meghan SmithSo damn cuteHonestly love this app, super cute and funny and there really is a bitmoji for almost everything. Some are so weird but I love those too. I love how two bitmojis will appear together when I use them with a friend who had the app on snapchat, but I wish I could use the multiple avatar bitmojis on other mediums. That's my only complaint and reason for 4 stars instead of 5!
Paige ColónI can't get enough of the vast varieties of different sayings in this app. If you're looking for a new or different way to say 'I love you', 'I miss you', 'I'll see you soon' or maybe you just want to say 'Hi' but either way this is the app for you. I do think though that you should be able to design your own outfit for your bitmoji rather than having to choose from the mildly vast variety of outfits they have or you should at least be able to change the color(s)
May ValentineI really want real purple hairA darker purple would be better than just that hot pink fuschia. Why every other color but not a good deep purple? It's probably a great and functional app but I did uninstall immediately upon finding that the Bitmoji wouldn't have my hair color.
Pamela AfricaMy New way to text express! Loving it!This bitmoji app is one of the best apps I have ever downloaded!! It not only works flawlessly, but it has allot of choices to create your own personal self likeness avatar bitmoji!! And i absolutely love the different quotes that go with it! I can always find the best one that perfectly expresses what I'm feeling for every situation! I highly recommend this app to anyone that enjoys creative expression!! Great job!
bdaman67 CThis is HILARIOUS,,,, butI know I'm late to the game, I've just started using. This thing cracks me up, and has a very large library to keep it fresh. My only problem with it it's there's alot of core feelings not represented, I.E. NERVOUS, SCARED(very few for this), DEPRESSED, WORRIED, ETC... I know this is a family app and we don't want our kids feeling that way but if they can't express ALL there feelings, now this app is nothing more then a you, rather then a real communication tool. Just my opinion, still think it's GREAT!!
Boris DagouGreat appI'm not a social media person but I can see myself becoming one with this app. Everything is just so funny and I want to use them all. I can't stop thinking about ways to use my new avatar.
Nikki ScottBirmogiA friend told me about this app and they are too cute. My friends say my adivitar looks just like me. I have told my family and friends and.they have downloaded it to. They seam to have one for every emotion and I love it. I keep people laughing. Great app?
Jerry ArmesAll in all I think its a good app I have enjoyed it ....would like to suggest some sexual references and also maybe some light extra curricular activities like drinking. ..drinking games and offer the 420 to us NORMAL PARTCITENTS. ..just some ideas im sure you guys/gals have already tossed around. . I bet participation would triple!
Amor ReneeToo cute.I adore this app. The only thing I wish could change is having the character on a separate keyboard I wish it was together. Because when I want to use one in text I have to go to my settings (ON ANDROID) and switch the keyboard :'/ Fix this one issue or tell me how I can have it on my normal keyboard
La'Tisha BandeleHaving Fun Expressing to the fullestEveryone waits to see my visual text, lol! Whenever, I think there isn't a Bitmoji for how I feel they reveal new ones! Their team is doing great - let me know whenever the team needs help with brainstorming for new visual expressions. As much as I use it I'd gladly help.
AnonymousSo fun and easy to use! I love it!Haven't had any problems with it. It uploads to many social media sites with ease. Lots of options to make the bitmoji look like you and plenty of clothing options and emotions to convey!
S. PattersonLove the appTotally customizable! There's an emoji for every situation! Ready to set up and ready to use. The only improvement I could suggest is hair options. Did you take away done if the hair choices, because what I have on my bitmoji right now is no longer offered.
Sarah GilbertIt's neat. Fun to mess around with when words aren't quite enough. Although, I haven't figured out how to change my avatar's hair color. I've changed the style since the initial set up & everything else as far as my body features go that has changed. Five stars if you can make that possible.
Deanna FisherFABULOUS FUN!This is without a doubt the cutest app I've ever seen. I'm not a teen, I'm 53 and it's way to cool. Great way to get something across to someone and have some fun doing it. Should be for adults too. Maybe create a section of words and sayings that are for adults only. Lol Thank you
Israel HernandezA blast to send messages with!People are always telling me how my Bitemoji looks so much like me and asking me how they can get one for themselves. Definitely recommend this app to anyone looking to spice up their messages and put a smile on those receiving them as well.
Mark GundersonAwesome App!Very funny! I would definitely pay for this app. The only thing keeping it from being perfect is the interface to my messaging app Textra. It's a little time consuming. It would also be nice if it had a goatee without the mustache option. All in all, it's hilarious!
AnonymousLoads of fun!This emoji app is customized especially for you. It has almost every emotion I go through. Sad, angry, happy, cold,hot, sexy, shy, everything and I've never had a problem with freezing or shutting down. You can also change your outfits. Great emoji app!

At Kites and Puppets we have a wide variety of golf discs for sale (or Frisbee golf for those who are new). Stop by our store on Granville Island to buy golf discs and then go play at one of the listed disc golf Vancouver courses below. We list the three main Vancouver disc golf courses and also include a few other B.C., British Columbia disc golf courses as well.
1. Quilchena Park Disc Golf Course: this course is located near 33rd and Arbutus Street at Quilchena Park in Vancouver. This park is quite large and has a variety of other amenities such as baseball fields and a skateboard park. The course plays along the outside perimeter of the park through some nice large trees and an open section near the end. The first few holes are short and snappy with a few technical spots to navigate and finishes with some long distance holes. The final hole is quite a distance shot up a long hill but once at the top you are rewarded with a nice view all the way down to the ocean.
2. Queen Elizabeth Disc Golf Course: this course is located just off 37th and Ontario street near the pitch and putt course. It is the smallest Vancouver disc golf course and uses all of the space allocated to it with a well thought out course plan. Each hole has dual platforms offering a choice of an easier or harder driving launch. Most of the holes are short with a few longer ones scattered about, including a fun downhill drive with potential for a very satisfying hole in one. One great feature of the QE course is the water hazard on the final hole. Many disc golfers will find themselves making an unfortunate decision of whether to wade into murky water or just go buy a new golf disc.
3. Jericho Hill Golf Disc Course: this course is located just off 4th ave, west of Alma and close to Jericho Park. It is a beautiful Vancouver course with magnificent views of the city and ocean that get better as you crest the hill. There are many variations on how to play this course but the typical route starts with easier short holes at the bottom of the hill and gradually works towards a fantastic downhill distance shot from the top of the hill.
4. Whistler Disc Golf Course: this is not located in Vancouver but two hours north in Whistler. Playing at the Whistler disc golf course is a true adventure and has three fairly different 9 hole sections. The first section goes through very tight trees and forest and gets quite annoying as your disc continually bounces off trees and bushes. The second section climbs a very steep rocky hill and finishes on a wild steep downhill forest shot that must suck up a lot of golf discs. The final section is fairly straight open and follows the powerline cut through the forest. Wear good shoes and expect to get a few leg scratches.
5. Pender Island Disc Golf Course: this course is located on beautiful Pender Island in the B.C. Gulf Island chain. It is a 27 hole course that winds through great forest landscapes and rocky outcroppings close to a lake. It is a very fun and unique course.
6. For a complete listing of courses in Canada click here
Want to play disc golf or Frisbee golf in Vancouver? At Kites and Puppets we have one of Vancouver's best selections of golf discs for sale at great prices. We are located on Granville Island in the Kid's Market ground floor.

Come this April, CERN will get another weapon in the search
for the infamous Higgs-Boson particle. When particles collide in a
particle accelerator, the collision occurs so briefly that scientists can only
infer what takes place during the collision by analyzing the remaining
components left afterwards. Analyzing that data on the fly takes
a lot of calculations, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison has just the
solution; a $6M USD grid array processor that can analyze a trillion bits per
The "Regional Calorimeter Trigger" will have the most throughput of
any single application processor array to date when it is installed in CERN's
Large Hadron Collider this April. The project took almost a decade to

Census of Population and Housing, 1990 [United States]: Extract Data (ICPSR 2889)
Principal Investigator(s): Adams, Terry K.
This extraction of data from the 1990 decennial Census files (CENSUS OF POPULATION AND HOUSING, 1990 [UNITED STATES]: SUMMARY TAPE FILES 3A AND 3B [ICPSR 9694, 9693]) was designed to provide a set of contextual variables to be matched to any survey dataset that has been coded for the geographic location of respondents. Over 120 variables were selected from original Census sources, and more than 100 variables were derived from those component variables. The variables characterize geographic areas in terms of ethnicity, family structures, income, education, labor force activity, and housing. The geographic areas chosen range from neighborhoods (tracts, Block Numbering Areas [BNAs], and Enumeration Districts [EDs]), through intermediate levels of geography (Minor Civil Divisions and Census County Divisions [MCDs/CCDs], census places, and ZIP codes), through large economic areas (counties, Metropolitan Statistical Areas, State Economic Areas [SEAs], and specially created Labor Market Areas [LMAs]), and beyond to large regions (Economic Sub-Regions [ESRs] and states). To the maximum extent possible, the investigator selected Census variables that seemed relevant to problems associated with poverty and income determination and that were present in comparable form in the 1970 and 1980 Census datasets.

griefers LulzSec ("Lulz Security") -- the
self-proclaimed "concentrated-success" of 4Chan's 2005-era /b/
message board -- don't seem overly concerned about being "hunted
down" by 2011-era /b/ fans ("damn furries" or "/b/tards" as LulzSec calls
them). Fans flocked to
the message board upset about LulzSec's attacks on popular gaming
services like EVE Online.
The group proclaimed on
Call into 614-LULZSEC and pick a target and we'll obliterate it.
Nobody wants to mess with The Lulz Cannon - take aim for us, twitter. #FIRE
In addition to attacks on League of Legends, EVE Online,
and Minecraft, the group attacked gaming magazine The
Escapist, and government-software contractor Finfisher, as we summarize here.
But the group also let slip that it's waiting on 8 phone requests for
additional targets. It's unclear whether the group will hit those targets
today, or take a break from firing its DDoS "cannon".
LulzSec implied in one tweet that it's infecting 4Chan users
and using their machines in a distributed denial of service (DDoS) botnet.
The group writes:
The best part about making 50% of all /b/tards our bots is that
they leave their daddy's laptops on 24/7, more bandwidth for us. :3
The fact that the group is taking phone calls at a time when they've attacked
the U.S. government from several angles is rather bold -- some would say
foolish. Clearly the art of phone obfuscation is not dead, given that no
arrests have been made yet, despite the group's active call line, which is
surely being observed by the U.S.
Federal Bureau of Investigation and others.
DDoS hacks aren't "official" hacks according to the band of bandits.
They state:
We didn't hack any games, we just DDoS'd them with our
not-to-be-messed-with Lulz Cannon. :D We did hack these though: lulzsecurity.com/releases
We'll keep you updated on who gets hacked/DDoSed next "for the lulz".Update: Wed. June 15, 2011 12:50 p.m. --It appears that LulzSec has taken down the server for MMORPG Heroes of Newerth (a game very similar to World of Warcraft). The group mocks that Defense of the Ancients ("DotA") custom scenario for Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos "is better."The group also posted to Twitter that it's preparing for another EVE Online attack.

NASA's ISS Control Codes Were Stolen, IT Department Incapable of Patching PCs

Only 1 percent of laptops were encrypted, 48 laptops were stolen with a wealth of data
National Aeronautics and Space Administration
(NASA) has suffered in recent years from budget cuts. Underpaid and understaffed, NASA's hopes of recruiting the best and have faded as a divided House has expressed disinterest in funding NASA. Meanwhile President Barack Obama's administration
completed George W. Bush's plan to scrap the Space Shuttle program
privatized cargo launches
(which Congress then refused to fund), and
dramatically scaled back NASA's targets
, including
ditching the return to the Moon
proposed by George W. Bush.
I. NASA Seldom Patches Computers or Encrypts, Lost ISS Codes, 47 Other Laptops
The last thing NASA needs at this point is any bad news, which could make it look like the space agency's
thinning house of cards
is about collapse. It would be pretty bad if you lost a $125M USD Mars orbiter due to
mixing up metric units and English units
(NASA and contractor Lockheed Martin Corp. (
) did that in 1999).
An inspector general assigned to inspect and diagnosis the abysmal security at the space agency has
just revealed
[PDF] that NASA lost the control codes to
the International Space Station
, along with what sounds like a good portion of NASA's other secrets.
"Ahh... how do I say this. Er. I lost the keys to mankind's only active space station. No, really."

The only good news is that the station itself used secondary encryption meaning that whoever stole the control codes would be unable to gain full command, unless they also managed to get ahold of that code, as the station only accepts commands encoded with that day's encryption. Still the data loss is an embarrassing highlight in a lengthy report detailing NASA's failing information technology efforts.
Thefts of NASA employees' laptops and mobile devices began in April 2009 and continued until April 2011. In all about 48 devices were stolen, before NASA tightened security. Or actually, says NASA Inspector General Paul K. Martin the number could be higher, as NASA relies on employees to report the theft of work devices.
Apparently information technology-wise, NASA is operating as if the year was 1969 -- the year NASA triumphantly landed on the moon. A lot of things have changed since then in the world of computing, but NASA's IT department appears to be a little bit behind the times.
Mr. Martin describes that as of February 1 only about 1 percent of NASA laptops are encrypted, despite carrying a host of state secrets – third-party contractors' intellectual property, spaceship designs, control codes, and even astronauts' personal information.
More astoundingly, NASA reportedly seldom patches its aging computers.

While the agency is mandated to patch its machines under
national security guidelines
, the agency's chief information officer apparently "has limited ability" to accomplish the process, as NASA appears to lack any sort of coherent device management. And of course, NASA employees appear to be either not authorized to apply Windows Update/apt-get or are unaware of how to use these modern marvels.
II. Hostile Parties Revel in NASA's Incompetent Security
The net result is that everyone from amateurs up to seasoned foreign level actors appears to be victimizing NASA and its IT department. The worst incident described was the theft of the space station control codes, which were on an unencrypted laptop.
The IG didn't say exactly where that laptop might be today, leaving it unclear whether it even knows. Nor did it say what become of the other devices which contained employee (and astronaut) social security numbers, data on the Orion spacecraft design, data on the cancelled Constellation Program, "export-controlled, Personally Identifiable Information", and "third party intellectual property".
As for the ISS control codes, NASA engineers were forced to scrap parts of the station's software when they realized that security had been presumably completely compromised. As Mr. Martin puts it, there was "loss of the algorithms."
U.S. intelligence agents recently succeeded in
Razvan Manole Cernainu, handle "TinKode", who was among the reportedly numerous independent hackers who penetrated NASA's networks for fun and bragging rights. TinKode in 2011 hacked into Goddard Space Flight Center FTP server,
posting screen grabs
of confidential information from
NASA's SERVIR
disaster relief satellite effort. He would hack into NASA and other U.S. government agencies several more times, allegedly before he was caught. But not all the parties hacking into NASA's servers were attention-seeking young adults. Comments Mr. Martin, "These incidents spanned a wide continuum from individuals testing their skill to break into NASA systems, to well-organized criminal enterprises hacking for profit, to intrusions that may have been sponsored by foreign intelligence services seeking to further their countries' objectives."
The comment hint that China -- which is
investing heavily in its own space effort
-- may have been up to its
usual game
stealing U.S. state secrets
. According to government security officials, including Pentagon officials, China has
repeatedly victimized U.S. networks
U.S. agencies have proved woefully incapable of protecting their data against Chinese hackers.
[Image Source: Asia Society]
This has led to the
occasional hollow complaint
from government talking heads, but ultimately the U.S. has exercised measured meekness in accepting that it ultimately has no way of retaliating against the attacks. China holds a portion of the U.S. national debt, but more importantly, the majority of U.S. companies
manufacture their products in China
. To alienate China would be economic suicide.
III. An Epic Failure
But even in terms of the
typical security-deficient U.S. government
equally challenged contractors
, NASA's computer administrators appear to be setting a new standard in inability. Of course, as mentioned, part of this can be attributed to budget cuts and red tape placed upon the agency by Congress. But much of it comes back to the staff, if Mr. Martin's testimony is to be believed.
NASA's IT dept. has veered dangerously down the lower road.
[Image Source: Maintenance Mode]
NASA officials had previously
that U.S. satellites
were hacked in 2007 and 2008
by unknown, likely national-level players. China was mentioned as a prime suspect. But the loss of the codebook to controlling the ISS is a far more embarrassing low for the agency.
His comments seem to hint that it might be time for the CIO to go. And he says that it's vital for NASA to adopt mass encryption. He comments, "Until NASA fully implements an agency-wide data encryption solution, sensitive data on its mobile computing and portable data storage devices will remain at high risk for loss or theft."
The IG said NASA must encrypt or it will be embarassed again.

That sounds like pretty sound logic.

Auto Trade Groups Question CFPB's Indirect Lending Guidance
The National Automobile Dealers Association and the National Association of Minority Automobile Dealers have issued a joint statement questioning the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau's latest guidance on indirect auto lending.
On Thursday, the CFPB released a bulletin on compliance for indirect auto lenders that permits dealers to increase consumer interest rates and compensate them with a share of the increased interest revenues.
The CFPB said it was concerned that the markups may lead to minorities being charged more than white consumers.
"NADA and NAMAD strongly oppose any form of discrimination in auto lending, and the CFPB guidance appropriately explains that unlawful discrimination has no place in the marketplace," the trade groups said in a statement.
"However, it is relying on a theory of discrimination that is based on a statistical analysis of past transactions – not intentional conduct – and the CFPB has not provided any information about how it is conducting its analysis," NADA and NAMAD said.
The CFPB said indirect auto lenders should take steps to ensure that they are in compliance with the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and Regulation B including eliminating dealer discretion to mark up buy rates and fairly compensating dealers using another mechanism, such as a flat fee per transaction, that does not result in discrimination.
"An indirect auto lender's markup and compensation policies may alone be sufficient to trigger liability under the ECOA if the lender regularly participates in a credit decision and its policies result in discrimination. The disparities triggering liability could arise either within a particular dealer's transactions or across different dealers within the lender's portfolio," the CFPB said.
NADA and NAMAD said "the CFPB's attempt to eliminate the dealer's ability to discount the APR that it offers to consumers will only weaken the consumer's ability to secure financing at the lowest possible cost."
The groups added "this anti-competitive approach is not in the interest of consumers and should not be accomplished through guidance and enforcement actions that lack transparency, the opportunity for public comment, and the benefits of a data-driven analysis into the effects they would have on consumers and the automobile financing marketplace."
Both auto industry trade groups said the CFPB should work with the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Trade Commission on those various actions.
NADA said it represents nearly 16,000 new-car and -truck dealers, with 32,500 franchises, both domestic and international. NAMAD, which represents minority-owned dealerships, said of the 19,000 new auto dealerships, less than 1,100 are owned by minorities.

Day 21: Share faith
Today, rejoice with us about the work God is doing through a small church in Wyoming. Read about their "Coins for the Kingdom" ministry that has already raised money for a wide variety of Gift Catalog items!
Today's challenge: Invite someone to attend church with you tomorrow.
"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." —Matthew 6:33 (NIV)
Coins for the Kingdom
In 2006, my family moved to Wyoming from Brazil, where we had been missionaries for 10 years. Part of God's call for me here was to help raise awareness and expose others to a more global perspective on life. In October of 2009, I sponsored my first child through World Vision.
Sometime between sponsoring Violet and September 2010, when I sponsored my second child, I read The Hole in our Gospel. God was doing something in me. I would have sponsored every child in the world if I could. A few months later, I received information on becoming a World Vision Child Ambassador. I began praying about that, but I must admit that I was nervous about taking that step.
In January 2011, my 22-year-old daughter and I went to the Passion Conference in Atlanta, Georgia, and God did such deep work in me that I will never be the same. On one of those mornings, I was by myself and knew that I needed to read the book of Amos. I was struck that God's judgments against both pagan nations and nations that were for human rights offenses.
I was deeply convicted. How many pairs of shoes do I have in my closet? How many pairs of jeans? How much have I spent on myself on things that I don't need, and how long have I had my head in the sand over the injustices in the world? I've never been an extravagant spender, but I had also never considered that I could be investing in things that matter to God.
As I was praying about all of this, the Coins for the Kingdom idea and slogan ("No Life is Insignificant; No Coin is Insignificant") came to me. I got back to Casper, Wyoming, and told my husband (our pastor) what God was doing in me and how I felt like I needed to do more. I started the process of becoming a Child Ambassador and began the Coins for the Kingdom ministry the following Sunday.
My desire with "Coins" was to have something that constantly kept the needs of the world in front of us, something that could include the children and adults of the church. I also wanted our gifts to impact groups of people. During the next nine months, through World Vision's Gift Catalog, we were able to dig a fish pond, provide school supplies, and help exploited girls, among other things.
I had also become a Child Ambassador, and God was providing sponsors for children.
Then, in November 2011, we suffered a life-altering event in our family. My husband and I went into a season of deep grief and he resigned from our church. I gave up my Child Ambassador position and asked one of my friends if she would consider taking over Coins for the Kingdom. This precious church family held us together and prayed us through a very dark season.
During this time, our interim pastor was trying to determine what ministries in the church were going well and which ones to end. I was able to share how "Coins" had begun and my heart for it, and he agreed that we should keep it going. Shortly after that time, I felt like I could pick it up again. We finished the goats and chickens campaign that my friend had begun, and doubled what we had asked for.
I began to pray about how we could breathe life back into "Coins." I asked a couple of people if they thought we could raise enough between Christmas and Easter to dig a traditional well. One of my friends said that we could see what we could raise, and that she would match it! So the well campaign began. We showed some World Vision videos in our worship services, and we ended up with more than enough for two traditional wells, with a remainder going toward a deep well.
The last weeks leading up to Easter were exhilarating. Each Sunday, I announced how much we needed, and just like that we were over, so the next week I announced how much we needed for a second well, and then we had the second well! My husband preached the Easter message and tied the wells in with Jesus, the Living Water.
It was all very celebratory and we knew that God had allowed us to participate in something very significant. God did above and beyond what I could have imagined. I was blown away, and I wanted to share my joy with you so you can rejoice with us over what God is doing in a small church in Wyoming!

Featured from our Gift Catalog: Share of Nativity Animals! The shepherds found baby Jesus lying in a manger, surrounded by God's animals. What better way to celebrate the birth of Christ than to share those same animals so families can prosper! Your gift will provide a share of a donkey, a sheep, a goat, and two chickens to a family in need.

A recent
poll by Rasmussen
Reports, an American public opinion polling firm, confirmed that
73 percent of Americans believe it's important for the United States
to cut its dependency on fossil fuels. Rasmussen Reports conducted
the poll on June 16-17 asking 1,000 Americans what their
thoughts were on fossil fuel dependency, government policies, and
the oil
spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
poll states that 73 percent of American adults believe it's "at
least somewhat important for the country to change it's dependency on
fossil fuels" while another 42 percent of adults think it's very
important. Only 23 percent say it's not important at all. As
far as the government's
involvement in fossil fuels goes, 41 percent believe
government policies should be enacted to "discourage use of
fossil fuels and encourage the use of alternative energy."
recent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, which began April 20 when the
oil rig Deepwater
Horizon exploded,
has clearly impacted more than just its surrounding environment.
While countless amounts of wildlife
have been destroyed and several businesses ruined, this poll
indicates that Americans all over the country are speaking out in
anger against this disaster, and their not just environmentalists.
to the poll, 43 percent of American adults believe that the
disastrous oil leak in the Gulf is at least "somewhat likely to
change our dependency
on fossil fuels in the near future." On that same note,
54 percent of women say the Gulf oil leak will cause America to
change its dependency on fossil fuels, but 61 percent of men think
that idea is unlikely.
the number of Americans who think cutting fossil fuel dependency is
important, a majority of U.S. citizens still believe offshore
drilling is vital to meet the energy needs of America. Seventy-six
percent think offshore drilling is at least somewhat important in
meeting these needs, and 60 percent believe offshore drilling
should be allowed despite the oil spill in the Gulf.
questioned about the United States' future purchases
of foreign oil , only 29 percent of citizens believe the
country will buy less oil from the Middle East. Forty-five percent
think it will stay the same and 19 percent think the U.S. will buy
more foreign oil over the next five years.
is a ray of light through some of those bleak
numbers, though. According to the poll, 48 percent of U.S.
citizens say they are likely to buy an alternative energy car in the
next 10 years, and 63 percent say "investing in renewable energy
resources such as solar and wind is the better long-term financial
investment for America than investing in fossil fuels."

New research from Kehrer Saltzman & Associates explores how the compensation plans of financial advisers at credit unions and banks stack up.
In its 2014 Advisor Compensation Plan Survey Report, the Charlotte, N.C. based-firm said it did side-by-side comparisons of 63 current compensation plans representing 48 banks and credit unions.
The data showed that in addition to the fixed cash-flow, payout grids fell into two broad categories: monthly and annual, said Peter Bielan, a principal at Kehrer Saltzman and author of the report.
It seemed the larger firms tended to pay their advisers on an annual grid, while smaller firms tended to pay on a monthly grid, Bielan said.
The average payout at $400,000 annual production was 37% for firms using an annual grid and 40% for those firms using a monthly grid, according to the data.
Almost two thirds of the plans in the study paid some form of enhanced payment for fee based business, Bielan said. The amounts paid were quite significant, with some in the 40% to 50% range for fee based business, he added.
The financial advisers covered by the compensation plans accounted for about 40% of all advisers working in the financial institutions across the country, according to Kehrer Saltzman.
The research showed base salary and draw amounts, payout rates and their corresponding production levels. The study also revealed the effective payout rate to advisers inclusive of salary, and the special incentive components used to drive fee-based business, insurance and increase productivity.
The credit unions and other industry entities that participated in the study include:
- CUNA Brokerage Services in Waverly, Iowa
- $1.3 billion Elevations Credit Union in Boulder, Colo.
- $1 billion Eli Lilly Federal Credit Union in Indianapolis
- $8.2 billion Golden 1 Credit Union in Sacramento, Calif.
- Navy Federal Financial Group, a subsidiary of $55 billion Navy Federal Credit Union in Vienna, Va.
- $4 billion Patelco Credit Union in Pleasanton, Calif.
- $1.5 billion Premier America Credit Union in Chatsworth, Calif.
- $2.3 billion Teachers Credit Union in South Bend, Ind.
- $2.1 billion Texas Dow Employees Credit Union in Lake Jackson, Texas
- $4 billion United Nations Federal Credit Union in Long Island City, N.Y.
- $4.9 billion VyStar Credit Union in Jacksonville, Fla.
- $1.8 billion Washington State Employees Credit Union in Olympia, Wash.

Not holding players accountable, not rewarding players or allowing them to earn new or bigger roles, defining what a player is on that team and maintaining it as the status quo is a TERRIBLE idea. If it causes an internal controversy because a player has an issue with it, you know exactly which players to dump.
We've witnessed the consequences of defining roles wihout reward/accountablity for years. No more please.

Potent pipeline figures to boost Nats again in '13
Former top pick Rendon poised for breakout campaign after injury-shortened '12
By Teddy Cahill / Special to MLB.com
The future success of every Major League team lies largely in its Minor League pipeline. With that in mind, MLB.com is looking at each team's farm system, from the Top 20 prospects to under-the-radar types.
Playoff baseball returned to Washington in 2012 after nearly eight decades. The Nationals won 98 games, the most in the Major Leagues, and captured the National League East title, thanks in large part to a core of homegrown players.
Right-hander Stephen Strasburg and center fielder Bryce Harper, both former No. 1 overall picks, played critical roles, but they were far from the only ones. Three of the Nats' four All-Stars were originally signed by the club, as were 11 of the 25 players on their postseason roster.
"It was a goal that we set forth as an organization, to have opportunities from within," said Nationals director of player development Doug Harris. "When you have some cornerstones that you are able to draft -- with Harper and Strasburg -- and to build around along with several quality players is an exciting opportunity for our guys."
After several players graduated to the Major Leagues in 2012, the Nats now have to go to work developing new players to take their places. Harris said he expects Double-A Harrisburg to have several players in the big league club's next wave of talent.
After seeing their first-round picks from the 2009-10 First-Year Player Drafts move up to the Major Leagues, all eyes in Washington will turn to third baseman Anthony Rendon, the sixth overall pick in 2011. Rendon missed much of last year with a broken ankle. But he recovered in time to go to the Arizona Fall League, where he hit .338 and played in the Rising Stars Game.
Rendon played 21 games in Harrisburg after coming back from the injury and struggled at the plate as he got back up to speed. He said the opportunity to go to Arizona and be successful was important for his confidence.
"Coming back, I struggled big time," Rendon said. "I can't even lie about it. Trying to come back and trying to face all those good pitchers, I felt like I didn't know how to play baseball."
Rendon will likely be joined in Harrisburg by infielder Matt Skole, outfielders Brian Goodwin and Michael Taylor and right-hander Nate Karns. With so many highly-regarded prospects on one team, the Nationals have high hopes for the group.
"Double-A has a chance to be very good, diverse," Harris said. "That's really where the core of our system will be."
Top 20 prospects
While Rendon leads the list, he is joined at the top by two other first-round selections: Goodwin and right-hander Lucas Giolito. Goodwin was taken 28 picks after Rendon and also played in the Rising Stars Game this fall. Giolito was in the mix to be the first overall pick in the 2012 Draft early in the season, but fell to No. 16 after his season ended with a sprained right elbow. Giolito pitched once professionally before he was shut down and underwent Tommy John surgery Aug. 31.
Following Giolito is a familiar face to Nats fans. Right-hander A.J. Cole, a key piece Washington sent to the Athletics to obtain Gio Gonzalez, is back in the system after yet another trade with Oakland. Taylor rounds out the top five.
Seven pitchers and eight position players make up the other 15 players on the top 20. Perhaps most intriguing is left-hander Matt Purke, who threw only 15 innings last year because of shoulder trouble. If healthy, the 2011 third-round selection has the potential to be a No. 2 starter.

Under the radar
Listed at 5-foot-10, 170 pounds, it is easy to overlook second baseman Tony Renda. But the second-round pick in the 2012 Draft has a history of outperforming expectations. Renda was the 2011 Pac-10 Player of the Year and helped lead Cal to the College World Series. He has a compact swing that allows him to make a lot of contact and spray line drives to all fields.
After a rough first two years in the Minor Leagues, right-hander Aaron Barrett got back on track in 2012. He struck out 73 batters in 51 2/3 innings between low Class A Hagerstown and high Class A Potomac. Working out of the bullpen, Barrett's low-90s fastball-slider combination kept hitters off balance and made him a midseason South Atlantic League All-Star. He also pitched in the Arizona Fall League's Rising Stars Game. Barrett could stay on the fast track if he can continue his success.
Hitter of the Year: Rendon
After impressing at Spring Training last year, Rendon appeared to be on his way to a big year. But a broken ankle in his second game of the season dashed those hopes. Rendon is a patient hitter who drives the ball to all fields. He has some power in his bat and the defensive skills to be a Gold Glove third baseman.
If Rendon can stay healthy this year, he remains primed for a breakout.
"He's not a sexy guy because he's well thought of," Harris said. "But we anticipate a strong year out of Anthony."
Pitcher of the Year: Cole
After a difficult year away, Cole returns to his original organization. Cole began 2012 in high Class A Stockton and experienced firsthand just how unforgiving the California League can be to pitchers. He was sent down to Burlington in the pitcher-friendly Midwest League and excelled. Now that he's back with the Nationals, Cole's next stop at high Class A will come in Potomac, where he should find more success.
"Getting A.J. Cole back was exciting for us," Harris said. "He's at the age now where he's physically maturing. We're ready to see him take another step forward."

Fewer people are illegally crossing Americas southwest border with Mexico, but the region saw a big increase in immigrant deaths in 2012, according to a report set to be released today.
U.S. Border Patrol identified 477 deaths along the southwest border, up from 375 the year before, according to the report from the National Foundation for American Policy, an Arlington, Va.-based group that researches immigration issues. That 27 percent increase in deaths comes even as total migration from Mexico has slowed in recent years.
Stuart Anderson, executive director of the foundation and author of the report, said the rise in deaths may add support to the drive for a complete immigration overhaul that is being negotiated in Congress.
The primary reason that people are dying is that theres not a legal work visa for them to come legally, Anderson said. These are rational people who are trying to work and support their families. If you had a widely available, legal work visa ... they would choose to come in legally.
Customs and Border Protection spokesman Bill Brooks said they also saw a 25 percent increase in rescues of people struggling to make the journey in 2012. He said more than 900 Border Patrol agents are trained emergency medical technicians and that the agency has been installing emergency beacons to help stranded immigrants.
CBP works hard to avoid loss of life among those who attempt to enter the U.S. illegally, Brooks said. CBP reminds those who might consider attempting to illegally cross of the dangers involved, from smugglers who may seek to exploit them to harsh physical conditions.
Part of the reason for the rise in deaths is the increase in Border Patrol agents that has driven immigrants to more remote, treacherous areas along the border.
The largest increase in deaths came along the easternmost sector in Texas, the Rio Grande Valley Sector, where deaths more than doubled in 2012

23rd October
Its been a while since the last time we did a Status Update on FunOrb and I know that a lot of you are asking questions about releases and the like, so here goes our most in-depth and honest appraisal of where we are with FunOrb currently.
First off, weve had a number of major back-end infrastructure changes take place over the summer. The first and most visible of these was the display names project, which allowed players to choose a different name. This has been the equivalent to a games worth of work for us, principally due to the number of systems we needed to update. The development team have been working hard on integrating the changes required to every one of our games and service modules; its been time consuming and complex and has highlighted the need for us to improve the maintenance overhead that the games currently require (more on this later).
Click here to see a larger version of this image.
The second, currently invisible, change is the release of our Graphics 2 library, which will allow our games to use graphics card acceleration. We will be able to provide multiple screen resolutions (whatever fits your PC best), high speed 3D rendering, texturing, lighting, reflections and other 3D effects. Essentially well be able to use all the best bits from RuneScape HD. No game is currently live using Graphics 2; we are working to build our new games on this library now. The first of these is likely to launch next spring (again, more on this later).
Thirdly, weve appraised what we originally wanted to do with FunOrb Central, and compared it to the strategic direction that Jagex now wants to take. In certain areas weve expanded on what FunOrb Central was going to deliver and in others curtailed it somewhat. One area of expansion is into what we call our 'game skeleton'. Skeleton 1, the current framework on which we build all of our games is showing its age; it was tailored towards level-based, single-player games first and foremost. With the release of our real- time multiplayer games and the growing need to improve the maintenance cost of the service, weve taken the step of building 'Skeleton 2'.
Click here to see a larger version of this image.
Currently Mod Zeph and Mod Artifice are both assigned to the architectural and code work construction of our new game development framework. Once complete, this will allow us to make games faster, but its major benefit will be in improving the maintenance overhead of the entire service. It will also provide other benefits, such as global chat in single-player games (once theyre converted).
Here are the other projects that the team is working on (please note that these projects are not complete and are subject to change):
- Mod Photon is finalising the revised version of Shattered Plans. This has essentially been a complete re-write of the games display and the AI, and the addition of a new rules set and a number of new game modes. It brings a lot to the game and we hope the update will improve the fun in this title immensely.
- Mod Sporx is putting the finishing touches to Bachelor Fridge. We plan to have this game with you before the end of November.
- Mod Shade is continuing his quest to add the campaign mode to Armies of Gielinor. This has required us to add complex AI routines, a campaign map, missions, Achievements and improved win conditions. The first campaign, 'Zamorak', will be with you before the end of the year. The next two campaigns should be available before the end of February next year.
- Mod Thor is fighting with the hostile spawns in Hostile Spawn. This is a complete graphics rework and the addition of a new campaign. The new graphics look superb and the campaign will offer hours of monster-blitzing mayhem.
- Mod Vile has the glorious task of making Dungeon Assault 2 a reality. Its tricky task, due to the nature of what we have planned. Currently its being made fully 3D with the new Graphics 2 library.
- Mod Wivlaro is swashbuckling his way through the development of Pirate Empires. The timescale for this massive project has been affected by the introduction of the Graphics 2 libraries. When the game is released, we hope it will look suitably stunning.
- Mod Dunk is battling with another early prototype: a work-in-progress, multiplayer, starship combat game.
- Mod Quark, Mod Iain, Mod Crispy, Mod Cloud, and Mod Nirdgerl are all working on very early stage prototypes. More information on these projects in future dev diaries.
- And as for Mod Thomas? He is working as our Lead Designer, and generally helping out with everything.
Our Graphics team is working hard to get the games looking as polished as possible, along with trying to understand the complexities of just what the new Graphics 2 libraries are capable of.
- Mod PeteS and Mod Vega are working on the concept art and concept models for the game Mod Dunk is making.
- Mod Davroc and Mod JessH are making aliens for Hostile Spawn
- Mod Smudgerinc is working on some corporate imagery that the company needs (the chaps here often do 2D graphic work for the website and other business needs). Prior to this, he was working on the interface for Shattered Plans.
- Mod LauraW is working on finalising Bachelor Fridge.
Our QA team Mod Ken, Mod Thaddeus, Mod Star and Mod Socrates, are desperately working to hunt down bugs from our releases and playtest the games to death in an effort to make sure they are balanced.
So there you have a real snapshot image of what the team is working on. We do try to keep the service up to date with new content as much as possible. This year has seen some excellent games released so far and we aim to add to these before the year is out. There have not been as many releases as we would have liked, Ill be the first to admit this and a lot of what we are doing now will make it possible to release games more frequently in the future. From the beginning of next year, its our plan to release a new game every month, and if possible, updates to popular titles too.
We also feel that our games are capable of standing up on their own as independent, commercially viable products. Next year you will see a greater push to popularise the games individually, rather than to try to market FunOrb as a whole. Having said this, there is discussion concerning the FunOrb model of global Achievements, Highscores and Ratings and how well it has worked, and how Jagex can extend this model to more of its services. Interesting times at Jagex at the moment!
Well Hallowe'en is just around the corner, and for me at least this hails the start of a period where we plan to have more releases than we have recently. I can give you no guarantees, as we still want to make sure we get everything we release to as high a standard as possible, but hopefully the creative products of FunOrb should begin to flow a little more freely from now on.
Thanks, and keep on having fun.
Mod Korpz
Head of FunOrb

from the United States and Africa have discovered that diseases can pass from
humans to gorillas, and can even cause death to these wild mountain gorillas.
Palacios, study leader and virologist at the Center for Infection and Immunity
at Columbia University in New York, along with
Mike Cranfield, executive director of the Mountain Gorilla Veterinary Project
and a UC Davis wildlife veterinarian, Linda
Lowenstein, a veterinary pathologist with the UC Davis Mountain Gorilla One
Health Program, and a team of researchers from the Rwanda Development Board
have found that wild mountain gorillas are capable of catching infectious diseases from
The fact
that gorillas have had close contact to humans -- such as gorillas living near
densely populated areas in Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda
-- does not help these endangered species. Also, tourists who visit these
gorillas in their shelters expose them to even more potential diseases.
Now, this
study has found that gorilla's living in the national parks in Africa are being
infected by a
respiratory disease that is common in humans (gorillas and
humans share 98 percent of the same DNA). The outbreaks of these human-caused
diseases have become much more frequent in these specific gorilla populations
in recent years. This is problematic because the respiratory issues have proved
to be fatal to some of the gorillas. In fact, two gorillas died in 2009 due to
human viruses.
type of infection we see most frequently is respiratory, which can range from
mild colds to severe pneumonia," said Lowenstine.
The two
gorillas that died from the human virus were apart of the Hirwa group, which
resides in Rwanda. In 2009, this group had 12 gorillas ranging from males to
females to juveniles to infants. Eleven were infected by the respiratory
disease, which resulted in symptoms such as watery eyes, runny nose, coughing
and lethargy. Two of the infected gorillas died.
When the tissues
of the two gorillas were examined, both had the biochemical signature of an RNA
virus called human metapneumovirus (HMPV). An adult female and an infant were
the ones killed by the virus.
there are fewer than 800 living mountain gorillas, each individual is
critically important to the survival of their species," said Cranfield.
"But mountain gorillas are surrounded by people, and this discovery makes
it clear that living in protected national parks is not a barrier to human

Admin4 is a tool for server maintenance via several plugin modules, running on Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and many more platforms. Currently, plugins for BIND DNS, LDAP, and PostgreSQL are included. It is designed as a framework, using Python for fast development of plugins and custom modifications. The DNS plugin should be able to query (axfr) any type of server, and performs updates via DDNS, which ensures that it won't interfere with other DDNS clients (DHCP, SAMBA4). For BIND 9.7 and up, statistics are supported as well and used to retrieve the server's zones automatically. The LDAP plugin features browsing and generic editing of all types of LDAP entries with schema support. In addition, high-level editing of objects like users, groups and samba domains is supported. Custom objectClasses and attributes can easily be added. The goal of the plugin was to replace the Windows-only ldapadmin tool with a portable solution.
LMDB is an ultra-fast, ultra-compact key-value data store developed by Symas for the OpenLDAP Project. It uses memory-mapped files, so it has the read performance of a pure in-memory database while still offering the persistence of standard disk-based databases, and is only limited to the size of the virtual address space (it is not limited to the size of physical RAM).
Password Policies Manager is a graphical Web-based tool to administrate the OpenLDAP password policies overlay. Most importantly, it allows you to define password policies (including password lockout, enforcing password quality, password expiration, and more), unlock accounts, and create users. No complicated configuration is needed. The authentication will be LDAP based.
LdapSaisie is a Web application to manage LDAP directories. It is designed to abstract the complexity of the directory through an administration interface that is simple and intuitive. The application was designed with the objective of maximal modularity, allowing easy extension or adaptation with modules, extensions, and plugins. This application can be used to manage the information system based on LDAP and also, simultaneously, enabling users to access their data and possibly modify them.
Ldap Synchronization Connector reads from any data source including databases, LDAP directories, or files and transforms and compares this data to an LDAP directory. These connectors can then be used to continuously synchronize a data source to a directory, for a one shot import, or to compare differences by outputting CSV or LDIF format reports. It offers a powerful transformation engine based on a scripting language to easily manipulate data on the fly. Various identity management functions are included for directory-specific compatibility - most notably Active Directory (changing passwords, account status, last logon, etc.).

"If you could be from another city. What City would it be??? Or State?"
and then...
"I'm from #California so I'm good.... But if I had to pick I would say #Toronto...."
It seems he would love to come here, has DD to buddy up with, and we need a point guard. Based on these facts, should BC go after him full force once his contract is up (no idea when) what do yall think?

Oligohydramnios is too little fluid in the amniotic sac. The amniotic sac is the water bag inside the uterus that cushions and protects your baby. It also allows normal growth and development to occur. Normal amniotic fluid levels vary. The average volume during pregnancy is almost one liter at 36-37 weeks.
Low amniotic fluid can indicate a problem in the mother or the baby. It can also cause problems that vary depending on when in pregnancy oligohydramnios occurs.
Problems in the first half of pregnancy may include:
- Higher risk of miscarriage
- Compression of the baby, leading to birth defects
- Lack of lung development
Problems in the second half of pregnancy may include:
- Reduced growth of baby
- Preterm birth
- Fetal distress in labor, possibly leading to cesarean section
There are many known causes of oligohydramnios. However, sometimes a specific cause cannot be found. Conditions that can cause oligohydramnios include:
- Birth defects
- Problems with the fetus's urinary system
- A problem with the placenta
- Tear in the amniotic sac
- Pregnancy continuing past the due date
- Problems in the mother, such as dehydration, diabetes, or high blood pressure
- Complication of certain medications
Risk Factors
Factors that increase your chance of getting oligohydramnios include:
- Pregnancy past the due date
- Health problems in the mother or development problems in the baby
Oligohydramnios usually does not cause women to have any symptoms. If the amniotic sac has a tear, you may notice a gush of fluid from the vagina. The fluid may leak out slowly causing constant wetness. Your doctor may also notice that your abdomen is smaller than expected for your gestational age.
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Your doctor will do an ultrasound to view the uterus and fetus. Measurements of the fluid levels will be taken. The fetus will also be closely looked at for any signs of problems.
Your doctor may do other tests including blood tests to check for health problems in the mother. Other tests may be done to look for problems with the fetus's health.
Your doctor will monitor you and your baby closely to make sure the condition does not get worse and that the fetus remains healthy. You will probably have more frequent prenatal visits and regular ultrasound tests. It is very important to keep these appointments.
Treatment options include:
- Increased fluid intake, especially water.
- Your doctor may add fluid to the amniotic sac after you are in labor. This will help cushion the umbilical cord during contractions.
The only way to prevent oligohydramnios is to treat its causes if possible. Make sure to get proper care before, during, and after pregnancy. This may include:
- Talking with your doctor about medications, supplements, or herbal treatments you are using before getting pregnant
- Proper diet, adequate rest and fluid intake, taking vitamin supplements, and getting enough exercise
- Regular check-ups throughout pregnancy
- Screening tests

is looking to rival many firms that are big names in the hardware and
software business. One of the key rivals that Google is focusing on
is Microsoft in the software realm. Google has been offering its
cloud-based productivity applications for a while now to businesses
and end users with offerings like Google Docs that are compatible
with Microsoft Office file types.Google talked more about its
coming operating system at Computex in Taiwan this week. Google
reports that it intends to launch its operating system, dubbed Chrome
OS, in the late fall of 2010. We already know a lot of what there is
to know about Chrome with the OS having been officially
announced back in November of 2009. Google also offered some
information on its cloud
printing scheme for the OS in April 2010.Yahoo
News quotes Google
VP of product management Sundar Pichai as saying, "We are
working on bringing the device later this fall." He continues
stating, "It's something which we are very excited by ... We
expect it to reach millions of users on day one."Reuters quotes
Pichai saying, "Chrome OS is one of the few future
operating systems for which there are already millions of
applications that work. You don't need to redesign Gmail for it to
work on Chrome. Facebook does not need to write a new app for
Chrome."The real question for the Chrome OS is will
hardware manufacturers support the OS. The OS will be open source and
might woo some hardware makers to offer it on their netbooks, which
is the market where Chrome OS is aimed.
