Black Lives Don't Matter to Thugs
Sharon Plummer lost two sons, Neshawn and Shawn, to gun violence. Statistics in their neighborhood hint that their deaths were the result of black on black crime rather than the fault of a weapon. Certainly, the much maligned cops didn't shoot them.
Sharon's sons were good kids unlike Freddie Gray and Michael Brown who were thugs that the cops killed in order to defend the community against criminals. Whether these killings were excessive or not is a judgment call unlike the deaths of Neshawn and Shawn which were a definite horror committed by blacks against blacks.
The protestors say "Black lives matter." Apparently, they don't to blacks who kill each other wholesale.
The best of the blacks die because their trashy protesters defend violence over the police. It's time that cops were encouraged to defend the good blacks at the expense of the criminal blacks. The Al Sharpton's of the world cut the fabric of society and cause a weakening of societal values and crime in the hood.
It's time that the criminal activist blacks were recognized for what they are—forces trying to create chaos in the black community so that within the confusion they could encourage their criminal enterprises after hamstringing the police.
Can you imagine blacks being stupid enough to attack the cops who protect them from their own thugs? Are they suicidal or just so blinded by their hypocritical sense of justice that they feel that their color entitles them to attack the cops who protect their color?
If I were black I would curse out "Black lives matter" to protect my community from their moronic ravings.

Zhang Wu and Zhang Xiaohua are now on the job. Say ten o'clock in the morning to factory gate to line up, at eight o'clock, they set out, two people take note to see the again and again, Lian Tang Cun Lian Chi Road on the 13th, Fenghe garment factory opposite. Yang Dahai told them, Liantang village in Haihong Golf diagonally opposite. A big arch. They walked to the rainbow golf course. Stand in the stadium opposite look in the past, there are several opposite arch, far away, can not see what is written paul. They had a horse, a St. Paul to see, finally found the Lian Tang Cun Pai Fang. Originally, they actually don't have to go to the rainbow golf course there, from the Jinhai Industrial Zone, and directly over the horse, Haihong golf course direction walk steps is Lian Tang Cun Pai Fang?. No wonder the terrain, so go. Liantang entered the village, they know Liantang village are Jinhai Industrial Zone, there are three or four forks. They can't see the direction of the road, which is the way to go? Brand is not clearly marked. Time is early, it is not nine o'clock, they think: one hour, how to find the factory. So the two one of them went on to look for one of them. They thought, if you can't find it, and then you'll be back in a moment. They walk, see the side of the shop, he went into the store to ask,sunglasses4usale.com, the shop people say they do not know, they feel strange, how in Guangdong to ask asked not to, is that they really don't know, or don't want to tell them? For half an hour but could not find the top electronics factory, and after a few Chakou, left and right, just not clear direction. At the moment they came to a mouth. Several yellow shirt motorcycle guy, in the shade of a tree waiting for guest. See them two come over, there is a motor guy came to ask: "the car?" They had no reason to him, the man said to them: "the car, and now the weather hot, take a few steps to the sweat, you want to go, I send you to." They think, motorcycle can not ride,www.24onhere.com, but I have to ask,www.tourbillon4uwatch.com, you'll never find top grade plant and estimation of candidates for the things will be wasted. Zhang Wu2 walked over, pass the motorcycle guy factory interview notes, asked him: "top grade electronics factory from here?" The motorcycle guy looked at it and said: "well, you want to go, you have to go for a long time, and the inside of the fork, you can go wrong." Zhang Wu asked: "how long will it take to walk?" "It's a long way to go. It's about forty minutes." They two guys listen moto this said, the in the mind all the fear, fear can not find the top grade electronics factory, missed the candidates?, motorcycle guys see their thoughts, said to them, "I send you >

The second annual Creative Placemaking Summit, which drew nearly 300 artists, entrepreneurs and community leaders to the Lansing Center last week, featured a diverse slate of presenters from a variety of backgrounds and professions. But from session to session, one topic came up over and over: millennials.
"Millennials are the first generation who will choose place over job," said Katherine Loflin in the morning's keynote address. "I don't see how you could put a finer point on the importance of place for economic development."
Loflin was lead consultant on the Knight Foundation's Soul of a Community project, which studied place attachment — how much residents are connected to their community — in 26 cities, including Detroit. The study, which ran from 2008 to 2010, found "significant correlation between community attachment and economic growth."
Place attachment, the study said, is driven by three elements: social offerings, aesthetics and openness, of which social thanks offerings is the most important factor. The summit's breakout sessions, featuring local leaders and entrepreneurs, offered tactics for improving these three elements in Greater Lansing.
In a session addressing the Michigan Avenue corridor, Scott Witter of Michigan State University's School of Planning, Design and Construction also drew attention to millennials. One key to improving the region's economic future, he said, is keeping MSU's graduating students in the Greater Lansing area by offering a vibrant community.
"Millennials will move somewhere because they want to live in that community," he said. "It they don't see that community, they'll move away."
Much of the day's discussions focused on the urban cores of Lansing and East Lansing and the Michigan Avenue corridor that connects them. Chris Sell, director of alumni and entrepreneur engagement at MSU's Innovation Center, explained that millennials — and, to a lesser extent, baby boomer empty nesters — are flocking to urban areas in search of lively, walkable communities.
"Our region is incredibly important," Sell said, "but to get young people to commit to the area, the urban core matters."
Sell is founder of Lansing 5:01, a group that connects Greater Lansing interns and young professionals with social events and opportunities. This summer, Lansing 5:01 debuted with a concert at Lansing City Market and also co-hosted events at Lansing Brewing Co. and the R.E. Olds Transportation Museum. The events drew local interns from 43 colleges and universities, including 24 out-of-state schools, hoping to convince them to stay in or return to Greater Lansing after graduation.
"We aim to be a resource for young adults to help them find things to do after 5 o'clock," Sell said. "We're not just selling the job; we're selling the region."
In another session, developers Nick Eyde, Scott Gillespie, Colin Cronin and Joel Ferguson described plans to revitalize the Michigan Avenue corridor with mixed-use buildings that offer greater population density and retail offerings along Michigan Avenue and into East Lansing along Grand River Avenue.
"We're trying to provide density, but in a way that's appropriate to the surrounding community," Eyde said.
In the neighboring room, Ingham County Drain Commissioner Pat Lindemann laid out his ambitious Montgomery Drain project, which seeks to revamp the area around Frandor Shopping Center with a mix of pollution control, public art and economic development. In an afternoon session, MSU Federal Credit Union CEO April Clobes and Jackson National Life Director of Corporate Social Responsibility Danielle Robinson described the need for a vibrant, diverse community to attract and retain young talent.
In a closing keynote, Jamie Bennett, executive director of ArtPlace America, stressed the importance of working with the community on large projects and encouraged local leaders to be creative in getting community feedback. He cited one city that uses an ice cream truck that travels to different parts of the city and offers free popsicles in exchange for input on upcoming city projects. Another city solicited feedback at a popular outdoor concert. These efforts to get out in to the community, he argued, are much more valuable than a meeting at city hall.
"There are 12 people in the country who know what a charrette is," he joked, invoking the new-urbanism name for a community planning session, "and fewer who want to go to one."

How To Draw Cartoon Faces And Expressions With Basic Art Video Tutorial
Draw A Cartoon Face
When starting to draw a cartoon face, the number one tip is to simplify everything and over exaggerate the simplifications. Look at existing cartoon drawings and see how they combine these two principals to create a simplistic yet effective Cartoon face drawing. Here we will try out a few face drawing examples in the cartoon style.
The quick example in the video shows a progression of steps that attempt to show how you yourself can draw a cartoon face in a simple but easy way. Seeing as I've made this video myself I left out any distractions, namely myself not talking so you can focus on the step by step process of drawing one possible variation of a cartoon facial structure.
The idea with drawing cartoon styles is to loosen up your drawing, so that you can draw this stuff all the time, quick sketching plays an important part of your cartoon creation and if you look at the professional cartoonists aand they way they work, you will see that they draw really fast at times to capture spontaneous energy in their cartoons and movement which looks quite dynamic.
Watch the video below and hopefully get inspired with confidence to draw a cartoon face.
Draw A Simple Cartoon Face
Draw Cartoon Facial Expressions
When deciding on what facial expressions your cartoon characters will have it is a brilliant idea to try and come up with some photos of yourself to help you, alternatively you could look in a mirror and draw them, but taking the expressions on a web cam is way quicker so that you have them all to look at in one sitting.
Below I've took a few photos of myself to show the basic expressions that you could include and actually try and draw and I'm sure you'll have great fun translating these into simplified cartoon face drawings.
Top tips! Exaggerate hair by going over the top or under drawing the hair slightly so that either the hairstyles look spiky or too large for the head or they look like a few straggly hairs that make the cartoon character look funny with the baldness. It's entirely up to youhow you exaggerate different things like the eyes, nose, mouth and head structure.
In the ways of cariacature drawing you would over emphasize a facial feature or two anyway and make it the laughable feature like having a head too large for the body or huge ears like a jughead or a huge banana like nose. Whatever you decide to draw, make it fun and funny too!
Now here are them photos of me, acting like a fool...er I mean showing you some basic expressions to draw from. If you find the idea of drawing me repulsive, then please do draw yourself! I don't mind!
Possible Cartoon Facial Expressions To ExaggerateClick thumbnail to view full-size
Drawing Cartoon Faces
I am trying to get into drawing and even some painting. Your video and hub is fun to read. :)
The face is the hardest part of a cartoon for me to draw. I'm still trying to figure out why that is. I think proportions are where I struggle most; the shape of the head, the size of the eyes, the positioning of the nose. I just can't manage something that doesn't look like a elementary school drawing. I like your suggestion to simplify the features. I'll have to give that a try the next time I get a chance. Thanks!
Great idea to have the video silent. It does take away distractions.

A pulse-racing international thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of The Expats and The Accident It's 3:00am. Do you know where your husband is? Meet Will Rhodes: travel writer, recently married, barely solvent, his idealism rapidly giving way to disillusionment and the worry that he's living the wrong life. Then one night, on assignment for the award-winning Travelers magazine in the wine region of Argentina, a beautiful woman makes him an offer he can't refuse. Soon Will's bad choices--and dark secrets--take him across Europe, from a chateau in Bordeaux to a midnight raid on a Paris mansion, from a dive bar in Dublin to a mega-yacht in the Mediterranean and an isolated cabin perched on the rugged cliffs of Iceland. As he's drawn further into a tangled web of international intrigue, it becomes clear that nothing about Will Rhodes was ever ordinary, that the network of deception ensnaring him is part of an...

Anthony Stellaccio & Mary Armstrong - May 2012
Friday May 18th - June 30th, 2012
Cross MacKenzie Gallery to pleased to present an exhibition of ceramics by Anthony Stellaccio and paintings by Mary Armstrong.
Anthony Stellaccio's approach to his practice is most serious – though he plays with toys. Fulbright Fellow and writer, Stellaccio's his new book "Lithuanian Folk Ceramics; Inside and Out" was published last year, and his day job is as a Curatorial Research Specialist for the Smithsonian's National Museum of African Art. Though equally scholarly in his approach to his ceramics, his clay work express a more playful side, referencing children's play things, game pieces, pets and domesticated animals. Stellaccio's extensive travels and studies of other cultures, have been synthesized into his sculpture through the universal language of toys.
This body of work is full of dynamic contrasts, rough, un-polished porcelain with cracked glazes atop smooth, reflective black and white Formica pedestal-like bases. The artist's process also informs his work. Achieving the level of pristine finish in the modern material of Formica requires exacting attention to detail and serious precision. Just the opposite is his approach to man's most ancient material, clay. He applies traditional rudimentary brick making techniques to the clay, purposefully limiting his modeling – playing a game with himself, making up the rules of manipulation. Often the clay is left with a deliberate hand-hewn finish underlining the difference and drawing attention to the significance of the materials. The supports are of a grand furniture scale, often echoing the shape of the tiny figurines on top and signifying their importance.
Recently, the artist has added color to his ceramic forms, adding yet another reference to the brightly hued toys one finds in our modern western culture. It is the viewer's visual pleasure to play with Stellaccio's toys.
The color in Mary Armstrong's paintings, resonates with Stellaccio's fresh new green glazes and compliments the three-dimensional, hard edged sculpture in the gallery. Armstrong's soft paintings hover between landscapes and atmosphere, shifting back and forth from a view of a distant horizon to the drifting particles of dust and clouds in the air. They are beautiful, her palette delicate and harmonious – Armstrong is a true colorist. She studies Bonnard's hot pinks and the light filled Impressionists, but her paintings have a contemporary sensibility. Armstrong scratches through her luscious wax and oils on panel to reveal hyped-up color from underneath, then layering over that, she draws, dabs and obscures any straight perspective – floating amongst the layers. Her titles suggest her sense of the in-between too, "Any Given Moment", Near Here" keep the places from being pinned down, specific and particular. The paintings look like the out-of-focus space beyond the airplane window while traveling long distances, that time and place where one can't do anything else or be anywhere else, when one is literally suspended in air and time and perfectly content. I am drawn to this beautiful, dreamy, nowhere, world she has created.

|Everyday starts and ends this way..for about another month!
Beans will come hot-and-heavy for the next few weeks. Here's a great link, with links at the bottom of the page, to a lot of ways to keep beans for winter use! We've never dehydrated beans, but it seems like a good idea! They'll take up shelf space only, and a small space at that! We regularly freeze beans and pack them in portions in freezer bags. They stack nicely in the freezer, thaw quickly for use in soups, stews and stir fries! We've picked the first of the Dragons Tongue - a Romano type bean, big and flat but tender and tasty! Treat just like any other bean; unfortunately the purple stripes fade on cooking.
Our growing partners Amanda and Ed have provided beautiful cabbage again today. They've also brought the first harvest of some fresh herbs. The ferny leaf of the dill will be wonderful chopped for the new potatoes or in your salad - very different from the dried dill in the stores. The heads of dill will flavor jars of the 'Dilly Beans' from the link above or a wonder to flavour vinegar for homemade salad dressing. The flat leaf Parsley will be excellent chopped into salads or sprinkled on grilled chicken or pork. It's also excellent for stuffing a roast chicken and I believe the first chickens from Luna Field Farm are available this week. The herb with the flowers is Greek oregano - a zesty herb that will also be excellent in your salads. It's fantastic to add a little Greek flavour to meats and pastas. Try a little of the herb in your box straight, to give you an idea of the flavour.
The first share of new potatoes for Thursday's families- a lovely red Norland. Please don't over-cook young potatoes. We usually simply steam them for about fifteen minutes but you can boil them, too, just not too long! New potatoes sometimes can get mushy if roasted in tin foil on the BBQ, so perhaps wait a couple of weeks until we've got older spuds for you!
Last week everyone got Boyne raspberries - the standard hardy raspberry for the Prairies grown here for decades. For this Thursday, we got a small pick on Mammoth, a newer variety developed at the U of S. There's just enough today for the Full Shares. We'll be interested to see if you notice a difference. We won't make any comment here 'cause we don't want to influence you!
So, for the Full Shares: Lg. cabbage, 3/4 lb. each of green, yellow, Royal Burgundy and Dragon's Tongue beans, 4 lbs. new potatoes, Lg. Mammoth raspberries, bag each Mesclun mixed lettuces and Grand Rapids, fresh dill.
For the Part Shares: Lg. cabbage, 1/2 lb. each green, Royal Burgundy and Dragon's Tongue beans, 3/4 lb. yellow wax beans, 3 lbs. new potatoes, 1 lb. shelling peas, Boyne raspberries, bag each Mesclun Mix and Grand Rapids lettuce, fresh flat leaf parsley.
For the Single Shares: Sm. cabbage, 1/2 lb each green, yellow wax, Royal Burgundy and Dragon's Tongue beans, 3 lbs. new potatoes, Boyne raspberries, bag each Mesclun Mix and Grand Rapids lettuce, fresh Greek oregano.

The House and Senate have begun final negotiations on a $1 trillion omnibus.
House Appropriations Committee Chairman Hal Rogers (R-Ky.) said talks are under way and that "things are looking up."
Rogers said he is hopeful that Senate appropriators will be allowed to sign the conference report soon.
"We're optimistic that the senators will sign the conference report and we'll get things concluded," Rogers said.
"Things are looking up and I am looking up," he added, putting his hands together as if in prayer.
Unless Congress approves an omnibus or a short-term measure to fund the government before Saturday, most of the government will shut down this weekend. The departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Justice, Transportation, Housing and Urban Development would not be affected since their appropriations bills were already approved.
The omnibus has been a bargaining chip in a separate fight over extending the payroll tax cut extension. Both sides have been looking for leverage in that fight, as neither side wants to be blamed for a failure to extend the tax cut.
It remains unclear whether the House and Senate will be able to resolve their differences and complete work on both the payroll tax measure and the omnibus before the end of the year. Members in both chambers are hoping to leave Washington by Friday, but it remains possible lawmakers will work through the weekend and into next week to finish up the two measures.
Rep. Jim MoranJames (Jim) Patrick MoranStates are stepping up to end animal testing in cosmetics while federal legislation stalls Lawmakers, media serve up laughs at annual 'Will on the Hill' Dems face close polls in must-win Virginia MORE of Virginia, a senior Democratic appropriator, played down the chances of the government partially shutting down at Friday's end.
But he also called the whole showdown over the omnibus spending bill an "indictment of the legislative process."
"I'm embarrassed that it happened, but I think the chances of a shutdown are zero," said Moran, whose Northern Virginia district contains many federal workers.
Moran said it was his "hope and expectation" that lawmakers would sign off on the conference report for the omnibus package on Thursday, and that the legislation would receive a floor vote on Friday.
The Virginia Democrat also chided the Obama administration for pushing to link the government spending measure with the extension of the payroll tax cut, in an attempt to gain more leverage over congressional Republicans.
"Some folks have communicated to the White House that they should not be using federal employees as pawns in a larger issue, that if we have an an omnibus appropriations bill that can, and should, and will eventually be enacted, we should do it now and not hold it up," Moran said.
A senior Democratic appropriator, Rep. Jose Serrano (D-N.Y.), pointed to a dispute over travel restrictions to Cuba as the last sticking point, voicing amazement that the communist island still divided Congress. "Technically we've got one issue holding up the package, and it's Cuba again, 52 years later," Serrano told reporters.
He said House and Senate negotiators had agreed to eliminate a provision reinstating a longstanding travel ban loosened by President Obama, but that BoehnerJohn Andrew BoehnerThe Hill's 12:30 Report — Presented by Citi — House postpones Rosenstein meeting | Trump hits Dems over Medicare for all | Hurricane Michael nears landfall Kavanaugh becomes new flashpoint in midterms defined by anger Juan Williams: The GOP can't govern MORE's office intervened. "The Speaker has made it a priority," Serrano said.
He said that the change could have immediate effects because the Treasury Department estimates that 300,000 Cuban Americans travel to Cuba over the holidays and those already in Cuba could be in violation of the law if it passes.
"Lets say the bill gets approved tomorrow and the president signs it Saturday morning: Saturday morning, folks who left and are in Cuba already are in violation of federal law. Nobody thought about this," Serrano said. "The charter company that flew them to Cuba technically couldn't go and pick them up, because they would be in violation of federal law."
Serrano said that he wants assurances the president would waive the provision if a waiver was inserted into the rider.
"The most amazing thing is that Cuba is still a congressional issue 52 years later," he said.
Prior to Thursday, Democrats had said there were just five issues remaining on the omnibus: the prohibition on Cuba travel, a prohibition on light bulbs standards, a prohibition on D.C-funded abortion, a provision allowing the military to treat coal as an alternative fuel and a desire by the White House to tack on increased funding for the Commodity Futures Trading Commission which had its funding cut in the minibus passed last month.

One of the best things about the colder weather is layering, layering, layering! I am a huge fan of the 'layered' look whether it may be with blouses underneath sweaters, tees under cardigans, scarves added in the mix or adding a wool coat on top. I love a good patterned blouse, especially a black and white one. This Pleione top is the perfect layering piece and it comes in so many colors and patterns! Best part? It's less than $40! I have my eyes on the floral ones as well. Such pretty spring colors (getting ahead of myself here).
I cannot even believe this week marks Thanksgiving. So many exciting things coming up... and so so thankful for this season! Everyone is so cheerful and happy, it really is contagious. Work has been super fun thanks to all of the Christmas music (I am such a sucker for it). Everyone getting excited for the holiday's? I know I promised gift guides last week... but I never got around to it. I am working on my Black Friday round up that will be posted Thanksgiving evening! Stay tuned for that... and tomorrow's Thanksgiving inspired look! Xo

Carnegie had to work hard for their win in the British and Irish Cup, but two tries from Guy Borrowdale and a third from Taylor Prell were enough to give Bryan Redpath's side a second win from three in the competition.
Dragons took an early lead from the lineout, James Benjamin finding space from close range. Arwel Robson was off target with the conversion.
The visitors looked to build on their lead but infringements at the scrum and lineout gave Carnegie two quick penalties that got them out of their own half.
Carnegie took control but were unable to make the most of their chances and were guilty of turning over too much possession. On 37 minutes, Guy Borrwodale – a product of the Carnegie Academy who had replaced the injured Jack Whetton after 28 minutes – brought the scores level when he took a pass from Max Green. Warren Seals was unable to add the touchline conversion.
Just before the break, Carnegie edged ahead after a well-worked try that saw Taylor Prell collect an overhead pass from Stevie McColl and the winger crashed over in the corner. Seals' conversion attempt went wide.
Strong play early in the second half led to a second try from Borrowdale by the posts, and this time Seals converted to make it 17-5 just before the hour.
The home side was forced to hold on for the remainder of the game with 14 men when Lewis Boyce was shown a yellow card for a technical infringement. The Dragons made the most of their extra man when replacement Heni Williams burrowed his way over from close range.
Williams narrowed the deficit further with the conversion.
A minute later Warren Seals successfully added thee points in front of the posts to put Carnegie 20-17 ahead.
But the Dragons were determined not to leave without anything to show for their efforts and their persistence paid off when Benjamin James crossed for his second in the final minute of the game to earn his side a deserved losing bonus point.
Carnegie: McColl, Prell, Forsyth, Casson, Goss, Seals, Green, Beech, Graham, Cusack, Whetton, Sanderson, Saull, Walker, Redpath. Replacements: Mayhew, Boyce, Robertson, Borrowdale, Wilson, Fox, Wright.
Dragons: Prosser, Goodchild, Edwards, Nightingale, Lewis, Robson, Davies, Lavender, Ellis Shipp, Mitchell, Davies, Williams, Waite, Benjamin, Blake. Replacements: Harris, Bale, Coleman, Williams, Hidd, Leonard, Evans.

I hope you were able to sign up before it closed!Delete
Great job on your race! In my first XC race this season, my first mile was around 7:20 and my next was around 9:05! 5ks in general can just be hard to pace.ReplyDelete
It's so hard to keep splits even in short races! There's less time to adjust haha.Delete
Congrats!! When I use my Nike+ watch it's really hard for me to monitor my instantaneous pace because it's not accurate...5K's are so tempting to go fast in the beginning!ReplyDelete
I need to relearn how to monitor my pace without a watch or Nike...I used to be so good at it by feel! lolDelete
Congrats! I did my virtual 10k yesterday! I've always liked the 10K distance and thought 5K's were kind of intimidating. I think they are super painful and I have trouble pacing myself. That said, my splits for my virtual 10K were terrible. Haha! Good luck on your upcoming Half!ReplyDelete
It's funny because I like the 10k distance as a run, but it seems that racing throws up a mental barrier for me. I guess I need to practice it more!Delete
Great race, Ali! The picture... so cool! I ran my virtual race this morning. I didn't push myself but I did do a lot of thinking!ReplyDelete
It didn't rain, but the sky DID look cool, huh? I'm glad you had a nice race, too!Delete
Nice job! Great first mile time! I always go out WAY too fast for short races. Okay, for all of my races. I ran a 4 mile race on Sunday and my first mile clocked in at 6:26. I realized that I was going to die, so I backed way off, but it was good to know I can go that fast if I want.ReplyDelete
Oh geez, 6:26?! I can never imagine! My fastest stand-alone mile is like 7:30 or something!!Delete
Nice work! You've been racing so much lately so I'm not surprised that you surprised yourself with your time. I think pacing short races is incredibly difficult for those of us who are used to much longer distances.ReplyDelete
Yeah, it was definitely different to push hard for a short time when I've been racing longer distances lately...it really changes how your body and mind work!Delete
WooHoo!! Great job on that virtual race!!! It is a great cause and Kristina is awesome.
I have only done a couple of virtual races - I did the 10k in this one.
Now that I've done one, I think I'll do virtual races more often. It's nice to support a good cause and have an excuse to push the pace.Delete
Awesome job! You haven't focused on the shorter distances in a while, so you REALLY crushed this 5K! I think a PR is definitely on deck for you this year if you decide to race another 5K.
Thank you for donating to PAWS and participating!! :)
I really need to focus on my speed training...I KNOW I can PR a 5k this year if I really work on it!Delete
Hope you went home and jumped in the pool! Great job!ReplyDelete
As warm as it is outside right now, our pool is still like 50 degrees! Too cold for a dip!Delete
Congrats! Nice job! I am the same way with 5Ks, I always start out WAY too fast and then feel like I'm two steps away from puking by mile 2.5. 5Ks are not to be underestimated, to race one efficiently takes just as much training and practice as any long distance race!
I agree with you about 10Ks. I used to think they were my favorite distance. But when I did my last one a couple months ago, even though it went awesomely and I got a PR, I was just like: meh. I have no desire to race them anymore. I'd rather do a long distance or something shorter.
I think people really do underestimate 5ks. The distance itself isn't much, but to really push it and run it well, it DOES take a lot of work.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels meh about 10ks. They just don't do it for my anymore! Maybe I'll find some love for them again someday. I have one in April so hopefully things go well even though I'm not excited for it lol.

Þórbergur Þórðarson 1888 – 1974 - en
Þórbergur Þórðarson, one of Iceland's most significant twentieth-century authors, was born and grew up at Hali farm, in the district of Suðursveit. At that time, this community was geographically isolated, cut off on both sides by rushing, sand-filled glacial rivers. Above it, there were massive mountain ranges topped by stretches of glacial ice; below it, a harbourless expanse of wave-beaten sands.
In the closed-off world of Suðursveit, life was characterised by a struggle with the powers of nature. Without a doubt, this fight stimulated the inhabitants' mental capacity, demanding that they be highly practical, precise, skilled in crafts, and perceptive. The sole signs of any other world were the French sailing vessels which approached the shores in spring; these lured the young boy Þórbergur to seek adventure.
A note about the author
Kristján Karlsson wrote:
Þórbergur Þórðarson, essayist, parodist, lyric poet, folklorist, autobiographer, storyteller, polemist, is a great and original writer who evades simple classifications, because, ultimately, his distinction rests on a unique personality. During his career he has attempted a good many subjects, including theology, theosophy, linguistics and especially politics, almost infallibly achieving great polemical virtuosity and stylistic successes. But, again and again, he has returned to the autobiographical writings which may be said to form the core of his work. These have not followed a fixed pattern, appearing sometimes in bookform of more or less novelistic design or as episodes inserted among his other writings. The story which appears here in English translation, forms a part of an autobiographical work called Íslenzkur aðall (An Icelandic Aristocracy) which covers approximately one year of the early life of the writer as a speculative vagabond and day labourer. This book was first published in 1938.

On Jan. 3, a judge told Shoaib Assadullah he had one week to renounce Christ or he would be sentence to death or face up to 20 years in prison. Shoaib was arrested on Oct. 21, 2010 when he gave a man a Bible in Mazar-e-Sharif, the fourth largest city in this war-torn country. The man reported the gesture to the authorities and he was arrested. Since then Shoaib has been imprisoned in northern Afghanistan anxiously awaiting his faith.
Even though the judge has offered him freedom in exchange for his denial of Christ, Shoaib, a Muslim convert to Christianity, has remained true to the gospel and the Lord Jesus Christ. VOM contacts say he has been listening to Christian radio programs while in prison and thoroughly appreciates hearing the Scriptures. He is concerned about his family, but he remains strong in Christ and even sends greetings to other Christians in Afghanistan.
"I want people to know my faith is strong," Shoaib told VOM contacts. "Please pray that I can stand well. I am not afraid of death."
Shoaib is imprisoned under the apostasy law in Afghanistan. The law prescribes to a strict interpretation of Islam that says leaving the religion is an action punishable by death. In 2006, Abdul Rahman, another Muslim convert to Christianity faced the death penalty but was released because he was found not mentally competent to stand trial. Authorities around the world, including the United States Congress have protested against Afghan's apostasy laws.

One film we are really looking forward to around these parts is Hammer Films' upcoming haunter THE QUIET ONES which scares up theaters on April 25th. Today we have a creepy motion poster for the flick to share with you to get you stoked about the film's impending release. It's always nice to see Hammer bringing us a new horror title as they've been continuing to dish out some solid stuff lately like THE WOMAN IN BLACK and LET ME IN. With everything we've seen so far out of THE QUIET ONES, it looks like Hammer Films has yet another hit on their hands. Dig on the new motion poster below!
A university student (Sam Claflin of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire) and some classmates are recruited to carry out a private experiment -- to create a poltergeist. Their subject: an alluring, but dangerously disturbed young woman (Olivia Cooke of Bates Motel). Their quest: to explore the dark energy that her damaged psyche might manifest. As the experiment unravels along with their sanity, the rogue PHD students are soon confronted with a terrifying reality: they have triggered an unspeakable force with a power beyond all explanation.
THE QUIET ONES is directed by John Pogue from a screenplay by Craig Rosenberg and Oren Moverman and John Pogue, and based on a screenplay by Tom de Ville. It stars Jared Harris, Sam Claflin, Erin Richards, Rory Fleck-Byrne, and Olivia Cooke.

Streamline Events helping to launch the NCAA movement for Women Triathletes
Dedicated athletes, more funding growing women's college triathlon
November 4, 2015
From: espn.go.com by Doug Williams
In last year's inaugural Women's Collegiate Triathlon National Championship, UCLA's Kelly Kosmo won by almost a minute. After coming in sixth in the swim, she made up ground on the bike and run and broke the tape with a big smile and her arms raised in victory.
Once she moved to the lead pack on the bike leg, she knew she had a chance.
"It ended up being a great race," she recalls. It also was an historic one.
Twenty-one athletes from schools across the nation competed in the first collegiate national triathlon championship held exclusively for women. The event came nearly 11 months after the NCAA designated triathlon as the next Emerging Sport for Women, putting it on a track toward possible official-sport status.
The Best of the New England Summer: Nantucket Triathlon (Nantucket, Massachusetts)
by A. J. McCarthy/Men's Journal
One could make the argument that no place better embodies summer in New England than the tony island of Nantucket, which is something close to paradise from June through August. Nobadeer beach, Brant Point Light, The Chicken Box; the island off the coast of Cape Cod is chock-full of iconic summer sights and sounds despite being, well, small.
And Nantucket doesn't solely cater to the mellow beachgoers and 4th of July revelers. The island's annual triathlon weekend takes advantage of temperate, oceanic breezes while providing triathletes with a chance to compete amid postcard-perfect beauty.

Tragedy Drives Woman Toward Triathlon
August 4, 2009
From: USA Triathlon by Jason Mucher
After an undetected heart condition claimed the life of 38-year-old Joe Lyons during the 2007 Cohasset Triathlon, no one would have blamed Joe's widow, Karen, if she distanced herself from the sport.
In fact, though she enjoyed an active lifestyle, Karen had never participated in a triathlon.
However, that tragedy two years ago actually drove Karen toward the sport, not only as a participant and active member of the multisport community, but also as an advocate for race safety. Ironically, in 2008 Karen, who resides in Newton, Mass., entered her first triathlon at Cohasset, where her husband had died just a year earlier. She has now completed five races, including the Cohasset Triathlon for a second time.

Heng-Gil Han, the curator for Jamiaca Center for Arts & Learning, wanted to try a different approach to his exhibit for Flushing Town Hall. Entitled "The Aesthetics of Diversity," Han's show began with him e-mailing more than 100 artists involved with Flushing Town Hall, asking that they each send three works, from which he'd choose the strongest piece and display it in the exhibit.
"The exhibition took no theme and adopted a process-oriented, formless approach, attempting to let things be. In other words, I wanted the project to form by itself," Han said of his vision for the show.
Flushing Town Hall, operated by Flushing Council on Culture and the Arts, has been in operation for 25 years, with the purpose of cultivating the arts in Queens. Seminars, workshops and other networking resources are available to both emerging and established artists.
One hundred works are on display in a variety of media — photography, oil paint, ceramics and sculpture — though Han said most works in the exhibit are mixed-media.
The ceramic work from Sin-ying Ho is one of the strongest pieces in the exhibit, according to Han. "[Her work] literally demonstrates the idea of post-modernism," Han said of her untitled piece chosen for the exhibit, which is a vase, covered in tile panels — one painted with a classic Chinese design and the other a depiction of Mao Zedong. Han said it combines "various, multiple layers of meanings and the complexity of our present culture at the age of globalization and technological advancement."
Other notable artists in the exhibit include Carlos Esguerra, an emerging artist who began painting after retirement. The piece he has on display is an oil paint rendition of sculptor Martin Puryear's "Ladder for Booker T. Washington," which was on display at MoMA in 2007.
Not all of the works displayed, however, are professional quality, which was part of Han's intent. "In our administered society of mechanical production, we are too often oriented to productivity and efficiency, whereby taking away our own creative liberty and turning ourselves into a mere part of machinery, allowing us to think that individuals can be supplanted," he said. "In reaction to this blind modernity, I put this exhibition together that, being a group show of various artworks by about 75 artists, reminds us of individual diversities and the population diversities in the broad picture as well."
The exhibit also featured an artists' salon on Aug. 10, moderated by Lucy Davidson, the director of arts services at Flushing Town Hall. Finally, on Aug. 24, two artists' studios will be open to the public to show their works in progress and further discuss their technique, work schedule and lifestyle as an artist.
If you go:
"Aesthetics of Diversity" Members Art Exhibition
When: Through Aug. 31., Tuesdays - Sundays noon - 5 p.m.
Where: Flushing Town Hall, 137-35 Northern Blvd., Flushing

Alcoa (NYSE:AA) reported earnings that met expectations last night and said that aluminum demand would rise 7% in 2013 compared with 6% in 2012, a sign of hope for the global economy. Investors have responded by moving the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES:^DJI) 0.36% higher near the end of the session, while the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC) is up 0.16%.
Two embattled companies are leading the Dow higher today, with Boeing up 3.3% and Hewlett-Packard (NYSE:HPQ) gaining 2.4%. Boeing's shares jumped after management came out and said it had "extreme confidence" in the 787 Dreamliner. The aircraft have experienced a fire and a fuel leak in separate incidents in the last two days, and investors sold off the stock. For now, fear about quality issues is yesterday's news, but the stock could easily drop if problems persist.
HP is the second-biggest gainer on the Dow. Although the International Consumer Electronics Show is taking place in Las Vegas right now, it doesn't appear the company will introduce anything earth-shattering. HP has become one of those volatile Dow stocks that jump higher than others on positive days, so I wouldn't read too much into today's performance.
While most of the Dow is up today, Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) is down 5.3% after its stock was downgraded by Credit Suisse. The analysts think the stock has run too far, too fast and that the fundamental valuation of the company hasn't yet caught up to the stock.

It's normal, I looked at the code and it still uses the old skin syntax as expected for an old 2008 theme.
Since release 3.7 (October 2010), there is a new skin syntax making any older theme incompatible.
In attachment you'll find an updated version. I first converted the old syntax to the new syntax with the skinupdater utility available here: http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/SkinBreakingChange and then I made some other necessary changes by hand. I tried it in the UI simulator and it works fine now.
However, I did not improve the way this theme has been coded. There have been lots of change in the theme engine since 2008 and ideally this theme should be rewritten from scratch. It's not optimized for the current skin engine at all.

Tour Itineraries
Practical Information
Turkey is no longer Europe's bargain-basement destination, but it still offers good value for money. Costs are lowest in eastern Anatolia, and Cappadocia, Selçuk, Pamukkale and Olympos still offer bargain prices. Prices are highest in İstanbul, İzmir, Ankara and the touristy coastal cities and towns. In these places you can get by on €30 to €40 per person per day, provided you use public transport, stay in pensions, share bathrooms and eat out at a basic eatery once a day (add extra for entry to sights). Away from İstanbul, and the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts, budget travellers can travel on as little as €25 to €35 per day. Throughout the country for €35 to €55 per day you can upgrade to midrange hotels with private bathrooms and eat most meals in restaurants. On more than €55 per day you can enjoy Turkey's boutique hotels, take occasional flights, and wine and dine out every day.
Although inflation has dropped from the stratospheric levels of the 1990s to around 9%, if we quoted Turkish new lira, prices would probably be out of date before long.
In the cheapest restaurants locals leave a few coins in the change tray. Elsewhere you should tip about 10% to 15% of the bill. Some more expensive restaurants automatically add a 10% or 15% servis ücreti (service charge) to your bill, but there's no guarantee this goes to the staff, so you may want to tip the staff directly.
Tips are not expected in cheaper hotels. In more expensive places a porter will carry your luggage and show you to your room. For doing this (and showing you how to turn on the lights and the television) he'll expect about 3% of the room price.
It's usual to round up metered taxi fares to the nearest 50 kuruş, so round up YTL4.70 to YTL5. Dolmuş drivers never expect a tip.
In Turkish baths you should tip around 10% to 20% to the masseuse/masseur. In the tourist-oriented hamams the fixed price may already be so high that you may assume that service is included, but it usually isn't and a tip is appreciated.
If you are shown around a site that is not normally open to the public or are given a guided tour by the custodian, you should certainly tip them for their trouble. A few YTL for 10 or so minutes is usually fine.
Turkey is infamous for a galloping inflation rate that tipped 77.5% in the 1990s, with so many zeros regularly added to the currency that having a tea for 1, 000, 000 Turkish lira no longer seemed a joke.
An economic collapse in early 2001 compounded the country's woes. Inflation skyrocketed and the value of the Turkish lira plummeted. Kemal Derviş, a newly appointed Minister of the Economy, succeeded in sweet-talking the IMF for loans and made much-needed economic reforms, thus avoiding a potentially disastrous downward spiral.
By January 2005, under the direction of the Justice and Development Party (AKP), the economy was considered robust enough to introduce the new Turkish lira (Yeni Türk Lirası) and finally do away with six zeroes on each and every banknote. For a year or so the yeni lira looked fairly stable, but in early 2006 a global downturn saw an exodus of international money and the currency lost some 18% of its value. Investors were left feeling shaky, sadly reminded of Turkey's vulnerability due to its high debt and current-account deficit. While the AKP had been boasting about bettering their IMF repayments, they were left red-faced. With the aid of the Central Bank the currency is back on track – for now.
After decades of rampant inflation, the lira is now stable. The Yeni Turk Lirası (new Turkish lira; YTL) was used between 2005 and 2008 as an anti-inflationary measure; watch out for people dumping their old-currency kuruş coins on you. Yeni Türk Lirası is no longer valid, but if you have some notes and coins left over from a previous visit to Turkey, branches of Ziraat bank will exchange your 'new' lira for the same value of today's lira.
ATMs dispense new Turkish lira to Visa, MasterCard, Cirrus and Maestro card holders. Look for these logos on the machines; they are found in most towns. Virtually all the machines offer instructions in English, French and German. It's possible to get around Turkey using only ATMs, provided you remember to draw out money in the towns to tide you through the villages that don't have them, and keep some cash in reserve for the inevitable day when the machine throws a wobbly, or it's a holiday. You can usually draw out about €350 per day.
Note that if your card is swallowed by a stand-alone ATM booth, it may be tricky getting it back in a hurry – these booths are often run by franchisees rather than by the banks themselves.
US dollars and euros are the easiest currencies to change, although many banks and exchange offices will change other major currencies such as UK pounds and Japanese yen. You may find it difficult to exchange Australian or Canadian currency except at banks and offices in major cities.
Credit cards
Visa and MasterCard/Access are widely accepted by hotels, shops, bars and restaurants, although not by pensions and local restaurants outside main tourist areas. You can also get cash advances on these cards. Amex cards are rarely accepted.
It's easy to change major currencies in exchange offices, some post offices (PTTs), shops and hotels, although banks tend to make heavy weather of it. Places that don't charge a commission usually offer a worse exchange rate instead.
Although Turkey has no black market, foreign currencies are readily accepted in shops, hotels and restaurants in many tourist areas.
Travellers cheques
Our advice: don't bring them! Banks, shops and hotels usually see it as a burden to change travellers cheques and will either try to get you to go elsewhere or charge you a premium for changing them.

I CROSSFIT BECAUSE I value my health above other things in my life. CrossFit has given me the opportunity to improve myself and those around me. It is constantly varied and that keeps me on my toes. That is important because it means I have to train many different movements and it is always a battle to keep learning and improving. I used to spend a lot of time in a traditional gym but it was repetitive and tedious. I get the opportunity to walk on my hands, play on rings and throw some serious weight around. I never thought I would be capable of of such advanced movements, but CrossFit has showed me I can do a lot more than I ever thought.
Personal Bio
Brandon started coaching at FCCF in November 2013. He has a background in many different sports ranging from golf to rugby. He played football and rugby throughout high school and continues to play recreational sports today. He is an Army Veteran with a background in leadership and training. He has a degree in Sports and Health Sciences, along with several different CrossFit Certifications. His passion for fitness is evident in his desire to not only continue his education but to also pass that knowledge on to his athletes.
Brandon stresses how important it is to find what motivates you to stay healthy and fit. If that is CrossFit, awesome, if what you do in a traditional gym works, excellent. Just find what drives you to be healthy and stick with it.
When comparing his training in the military to CrossFit, he found that he performed better in the four months of doing CrossFit, than the other four years and eight months of military training combined. He had a higher Physical Fitness Test score, lower body fat percentage, and a drastically increased stamina. His Platoon Sergeant saw so much improvement in Brandon that he had him start leading their morning workouts which followed a CrossFit style design.
Coach Broddrick's Keys to Success
Determination: Never give up! It took time to create the body you have now; it will take time to create the body you want.
Dedication: Fitness is a commitment. In order to meet your goals you need to show up and put the work in.
Consistency: If you don't put in the work on a regular basis you will not see the results you want. This includes your nutrition. You need to make your appointments, and follow your nutrition plan.
I COACH BECAUSE I have a passion for the community. I take pride in being able to help others grow and learn. I not only get to push them to succeed but they push me to improve as well. Every workout is a battle and I get the opportunity to fight through that with my athletes every day! There is no better feeling than accomplishing something you never thought you could, or pushing yourself through something you didn't want to. I love helping athletes do that and being a part of winning that battle.

I started training with Brandon a little over a year ago, after taking about three years off from any real physical activity. I was nervous to get back into the gym, but Brandon was so reassuring he made the reintroduction nonthreatening and fairly easy. After a couple months I was not only able to see the results of our sessions externally, but I could feel a significant difference in my performance and overall health.Brandon is great about varying the workouts so that i don't feel bored, and listening to my needs and concerns to make sure that I am comfortable with my workouts and achieving the goals I have for myself.From session to session, Brandon's enthusiasm and knowledge keeps me motivated and makes our sessions fun. I look forward to returning to the gym day after day, and that is 100% attributable to Brandon.
I've been working with Coach Broddrick for about 18 months in that time I have become physically stronger with much more stamina. Half of my closet was filled with clothes I could no longer wear as not any more! My diet has changed substantially as well as not just in quality but in quantity. I find I no longer eat as much as I used to. As an added benefit I sleep like a baby every night, all night. I have Coach Broddrick to thank for this.

The Olympics are about sports, yes, but they're also about style. Just look at the above photo of the Norwegian curling team and tell us what you're focused on: the actual curling or those insanely eye-catching pants. Want further proof? Scroll down for Johnny Weir's fur and bling look, a funny behind-the-scenes beauty shot, a skier in a tiara and more photographic (and video) evidence that the Sochi games are quite the hotbed of fashionable activity.

The legislation proposed by Lindsey Graham would require reporting of certain mental illness treatments and legal proceedings to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, the clearinghouse for all new gun purchases.
Those cases would include anyone found not guilty of a crime by reason of insanity or anyone who received involuntary outpatient treatment from a psychiatric hospital.
Graham cited a recent case in his state of South Carolina as a key example of the failures of the current background check system and the need for reform.
Last month, a woman who had previously pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity after being indicted in 2005 for threatening to kill President George W. Bush tried to fire a gun at faculty members at a private girls school in Charleston.
Alice Boland, 28, was allowed to buy the gun even though a court in the 2005 case declared her legally insane and a substantial risk to others and ordered anti-psychotic drugs and long-term psychiatric care, which she received, Graham said.
Boland, who has paranoid schizophrenia, aimed the gun at faculty members at Ashley Hall School and repeatedly pulled the trigger, authorities have said. Although it was loaded, the gun did not fire.
President Bush's mother, Barbara Bush, attended Ashley Hall.
Boland has been charged with attempted murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime. She is due in court for a preliminary hearing on March 14 and has not entered a plea.
"The Alice Boland case is 'Exhibit A' of a broken background check system," Graham said on Wednesday. "An individual who pleads not guilty by reason of insanity should not be able to pass a federal background check and legally purchase a gun. As astonishing as it sounds, that actually happened."
Graham said the legislation would ensure that those who have been declared an imminent danger to themselves or others cannot legally obtain a firearm.
"There is a lot of emotion around the gun violence issue, but I am hopeful this is one area where we can find tremendous bipartisan support to fix what I think is a gaping gap in our law," Graham said.
The U.S. Senate is considering several other gun-control bills, including a controversial proposal that seeks to revive the federal ban on the sale of assault weapons that was in effect for a decade before expiring in 2004.
Another bill would require criminal and mental health background checks of all gun buyers. The debate over gun control has heated up since a gunman killed 20 children and six adults at a Connecticut elementary school in December.
The legislation introduced by Graham is co-sponsored by Republican Jeff Flake of Arizona and Democrats Mark Begich of Alaska and Mark Pryor of Arkansas.
The four senators said their proposal contains provisions to allow people who have recovered from their mental illness to have their Second Amendment rights restored.
The bill "strengthens the background check system while protecting both gun and mental health rights," Begich said

our wedding - part 2
The day after our wedding, we headed to Suffolk for the weekend. We stayed at Tuddenham Mill, a converted 17th Century water mill. Our room was one of the mill rooms, with exposed beams and a view overlooking the stream, it was so peaceful!
The working parts of the mill were on display in the restaurant, and the hotel served the most amazing breakfasts.
We went to Thetford Forest, and on the way back home stopped in Cambridge. We walked along the canal and had a nose at the beautiful university buildings.

So when upwards of 80 percent of health care insurance markets are held by a single company (WellPoint, we're looking at you, in Maine), it would seem like a matter for the Justice Department, right? Not so fast. Health care insurance companies have been exempted from anti-trust laws because of the McCarran-Ferguson Act of 1945, which allows for state but not federal anti-trust regulation.
It's been a nice loophole for the insurance companies — 94 percent of US health insurance markets meet the Justice Department standards for "highly concentrated" (or, little competition). And even if Congress had the will to overturn McCarran-Ferguson, critics say this will do next to nothing, as since 1996, according to the American Medical Association, the federal government has cleared 400 mergers in health insurance. This would coincide with the time period when most Americans saw their premiums soar and services plummet.
But Congress looks ready to give it a whirl, anyway. Both the House and the Senate have approved language that will drop the anti-trust exemption, and while the insurance industry dismisses this as a temper tantrum several congressional sources tell us that "the Senate is awfully motivated."
Right now, the move has bipartisan support. One reason might be the study recently released by the Business Roundtable, a nonpartisan group representing CEOs of major companies. It found that without "significant" marketplace reforms to reduce costs, health care costs per employee will triple to nearly $29,000 over the next decade.
- Will Congress win our hearts?

Each 16GB iPhone 4 costs Apple $187.51 in materials, according to new estimates from research firm iSuppli. The company announced Monday that even with a new form factor and an expanded feature set, Apple has kept the bill of materials (BOM) for the device comparable to that of the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS.
"Just as it did with the iPad, Apple has thrown away the electronics playbook with the iPhone 4, reaching new heights in terms of industrial design, electronics integration and user interface," Kevin Keller, principal analyst, teardown services, for iSuppli, said in a statement. "However, the BOM of the fourth-generation model closely aligns with those of previous iPhones. With the iPhone maintaining its existing pricing, Apple will be able to maintain the prodigious margins that have allowed it to build up a colossal cash reserve—one whose size is exceeded only by Microsoft Corp."
iSuppli's estimates are based on internal teardowns of the components that make up the device, coupled with the firm's estimates on what those components cost in volume. As Apple develops a lot of the technology, materiel, and processes that go into its products, estimating the BOM of a device like the iPhone 4 is as much art as science.
Teardown costs do not include R&D, manufacturing costs, transportation costs, and the myriad of other costs that go into developing, manufacturing, and delivering to market a new product.
Key component costs identified by iSuppli include the cost Apple's A4 processor at $10.75, $27.00 for 16GB of Flash NAND memory, $11.72 for the cost of the baseband chips, $28.50 for the display, $9.75 for the 5 megapixel auto-focus camera, and $5.80 for the battery.
Key findings of iSuppli's teardown analysis include the fact that Apple was able to include a much larger battery in the iPhone 4 than in previous versions thanks to both the form factor and component changes.
"The metal housing of the outer enclosure serves as a physical antenna, a tough task to design and manufacture because antennae pieces have to be insulated from other parts, and yet be rigid around the perimeter," Mr. Keller said. "This adds more complexity and cost, but elegantly uses every possible cubic millimeter of the iPhone for function, and not just form. The tight intertwining of form and function is an area where Apple has always excelled."

HTC has been struggling from some missteps lately, not the least of which was their overly expensive acquisition of a 50.1 percent stake in Beats by Dre Audio. HTC hoped to define themselves from the rest of the smartphone pack by appealing to the audiophile in smartphone users. This marketing concept fell flat on its face, because the vast majority of users, simply didn't care about this with their smartphone. It's not that users didn't like the quality head-phone and audio technology. It simply wasn't the "killer app" that would draw people's interest away from competitors. Aesthetics and a wide range of added software functionality seems to be far more important to smartphone buyers. This is why Samsung and Apple have come to dominate the smartphone world.
It seems like HTC realized this at some point this year and has been taking great strides to try and rectify the situation. They released the amazing HTC One Series, which truly harkens back to the superior design quality and feature-set from when HTC was the king of the Android hill. Apparently, HTC is also getting other parts of their house in order as well. They recently announced that they are selling back half of their stake in Beats by Dre Audio for $150 Million dollars. HTC will still be the largest outside shareholder of Beats by Dre, but they will no longer be a controlling interest.
This sale-back will actually be at a small loss (they originally purchased the 50.1% for $309 Million), but it will give them some much needed operating capitol to help get them back in the game. It will allow them to gracefully focus on what matters, while distancing themselves from their costly mistake, although they will still maintain the Beats by Dre logo exclusivity.
