Ramen is truly some food of the gods level shit. I subsisted on all of Friday and most of Saturday with the aid of four of these magick squares. Only a dollar each at —you guessed it— Dollar Tree. Stock up for the apocalypse. And find this guy.
Ramen unfortunately couldn't help Diocletian's very evil brand of blackened death be more than an okay attempt at the sound of canned hell. Dark, swirling riffs and blasts ringing from bottomless pits is cool, but variety is severely lacking. Entrails, however, came to save my life —or end it, rather?— with their sticky, sweet old school Swedish Death Metal, complete with a logo that looks suspiciously like Entombed's.
Spain's Machetazo brought yet more evil to the fore with their wicked gore/death inflected grind, en Español.
Hearkening to bands like Regurgitate and fellow countrymen Hæmorrhage, they seem uninterested in being unique (and with Grind, that's quite a feat), just brutal, and they've certainly succeeded in that regard.
God Macabre, yet another group of old school Swedish Death infantrymen long forgotten, made their first appearance in the U.S. here, and probably was in the top three bands most likely given to old ladies if they asked fest-goers what "concert" they were heading to.
With only one full length to their name, The Winterlong, you could probably guess the setlist, plus a cover of a Carnage song. Forget which one, but it was damn near heartwarming when vocalist Per Boder smiled in delight when the crowd reacted positively to the name of their fellow deathheads. "I guess they're not so underrated after all." You bet'cher ass, bud.
When one thinks of progressive death metal, Florida's Nocturnus (A.D.) should ideally be what comes to mind alongside acts like Pestilence, Atheist, and Death, though admittedly I hadn't heard of them until I saw their name on the line-up. Playing their seminal album The Key in full, Nocturnus prove that synths don't necessarily have to end up sounding cheesy when used alongside brutal music.
Vocalist/drummer Mike Browning (ex-Morbid Angel) seemed to be having loads of fun blasting and growling simultaqneously for such uplifting tunes as "Standing In Blood", "Lake Of Fire", and even a special cover of "Chapel Of Ghouls", how rad's that shit, homie? I think they even played a Death cover, but I could just have been imagining it. Setlist.fm isn't helping my case.
The original Speed Metal Drunks (who's Municipal Waste?) in Germany's Tankard were clearly not hammered enough; they could still play their instruments. The crowd was one-upping the fuck out of them, however, with a beer-soaked circlepit despite the blazing sun cooking them through. Songs about zombies, and beer. Party. It's fun stuff, though not the absolute greatest that thrash, has to offer, nor is it the best that humour has to offer, but these krazy Krauts won't fail to get a chuckle or headbang out of you.
Finally taking my non-drunk self to the Soundstage to catch DropDead for my third or fourth helping this Gregorian year, I first caught Sweden's d-beat heroes in Victims. They play a version of the genre that reminds me of Martyrdöd, with more melody than is normally allowed, and less ear-fucking distortion, though weren't quite as captivating as I would hope. Had they played it straight Swedish and aped Anti-Cimex or even Finnish contemporaries (all Scandinavians are the same, right?) in Riistetyt and Kieltolaki, I dare say they'd be more what I was seeking. DropDead, however, are consistent in their delivery, combining crust punk, powerviolence, and d-beat cooked the right way; raw and still bloody.
Between socio-political and generally 'wake-the-fuck-up' rants came short but intense bursts of distilled punk fury, very rarely going below speeds safe to drive on the highway. The setlist seems to have changed, as they are including more new material that, while less speedy than the material of old, still has its fangs, yellowed with age but reddened with new blood as they press on. There was a special guest appearance, but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to even mention it, though I will mention that they played a cover of Siege's "Drop Dead", and as an extra spiffy bonus, a cover of "It's Not What It Seems To Be" by fastcore/powerviolence legends Lärm. Sweeeet,
With Nocturno Culto finally bringing his drunk ass to America only to not play in DarkThrone was a disappointment to many, but I suppose Sarke is the next best thing. Who knows, maybe Fenriz' Red Planet will stop by to play material fromEngangsgrill in a few years.
At least the crowd hungry to hear one song, any song by DarkThrone got their wish, sorta, since they played a 'cover' of "Too Old, Too Cold". Clearly the case since Nocturno is never seen without a leather jacket. A weird mix of black-ish metal, normal-ish heavy metal, death rock, and whatever else Nocturno deems the right thing to do these days, it was interesting, but c'mon. DarkThrone. Not gonna stop saying it 'til it happens.
True Norwegian Viking Death Metal warriors in Unleashed were something. Among my main draws to the fest this year, it'd be wrong to say I was disappointed, but underwhelmed is the word I'll go with since their set was noticeably lacking in the glorious potential they are capable of.
Having a staggering 11 full-lengths of Nordic praise, and my having only heard 5 or 6 of them in full (not counting the ...Revenge demo), I knew there were gonna naturally be some songs I wouldn't know well enough to fistpump to. However, the lack of "In Victory Or Defeat", "Warriors Of Midgard", and prime material from As Yggdrasil Trembles was distressing. To add to the discomfort, they stretched out some songs by at least two or three minutes ("Death Metal Victory" count: 8+), thus cheating themselves and the audience out of more songs. It sucks that happened, but at least Johnny Hedlund brought out a Viking drinking horn, and the predictable happened. My diagnosis: they were drunk. To Asgaard, their brains flew.
Next up were Dark Angel, who've probably got more riffs in a single song than an entire Bolt Thrower album (or two), arrived to show us that indeed, time does not heal, because Thrash is a lifelong disease.
Now recovered from a spine injury that left him unable to move, much less sing, Ron Rineheart is now back in action, and the L.A. Caffeine Machine is once more abrew. With speeds equal to or greater than that of even the fastest cuts on Sepultura's Arise, it's a wonder how Dark Angel never got up to the Big 4 instead of Megadeth, who stopped being Thrash after Killing Is My Business. Oops. They're as virile and potent as 14-year old sperm after all these years.
Following U.S. fast with U.K. fury were Extinction Of Mankind, who, while not a founding band in crust (having formed in '92), are as important as acts like Deviated Instinct and Hellbastard when assigning blame to old British guys spreading this filth. Their particular style is that popularised by acts like Misery; slow-churned Thrash infused riffs, barked vocals, and a steady beat to break down the walls of establishment. Naturally, the scent of unwashed dreads is the only perfume to adequately accompany such sounds, what with their LPBaptised In Shit, and all. I saw them again in someone's basement a few days later, but don't expect a review of that.
I took a little nap during L.A.'s Excrutiating Terror, who weren't all that painful, nor scary, to be honest. It was decent grindcore, though not too much of a racket, so I caught a few Zs before heading over to catch the real death metal bastards in Asphyx, because what the fuck is a Schirenc? I'd have liked to have caught "Shrunken And Mummified Bitch" live, but The Church Of Pungent Stench would be a much more sensible name, aye? Or even Pungent Stench A.D., in keeping with what seems to be an MDF tradition? Whatever.
So, The Netherlands' Asphyx, fronted by one of the few aside from John Tardy who can audibly sneer while growling, —is this a blonde thing?— Martin van Drunen belted out classics like "M.S. Bismarck" and newer ballistics in "Deathhammer" with equal ease and aggression, and the band are no slobs either.
Come to think of it, Hail of Bullets should play next year. Just a thought.
The soreness had began to set in by this time, yet my body had no say in preventing further torture. There was yet more on the plate for this exercise session from hell. Luckily for my muscles, a one-two-three heavy handed slap of stoner/doom in the form of Windhand, Bongripper and Graves At Sea was how the Sabbath day was to begin. Wouldn't it be hilarious if the former two bands practiced and recorded stoned and played sober?
My next gym coaches in Misery Index, however, demanded a few proverbial pushups, despite the lack of shade. How cruel of them to play "Traitors" when they know that it's impossible for me to stand still during such a thing.
The new track(s) from the newest opus The Killing Gods were business as usual; brutalising politically conscious death/grind the way Misery Index has delivered it to their hometown of Baltimore and the world for 13 lucky years. I'm assuming they all walked home after Deathfest, since they probably live up the street.
Pseudogod, they existed, and Wrathprayer from Chile played Blackened Death Metal that was surprisingly not too generic, though little stuck out in particular from their performance. The wizardly dissonance of Colombia's (now based in Seattle, WA) Inquisition was much needed following these two noble, if not uninspiring acts.
Dagon's trademark croaks take some getting used to if you're not already into that thing, which I found out some years ago when I first heard "Those Of The Night". I thought, "How the fuck are these Black Metal vocals? Weak shit, kid", and fell in with the camp that didn't enjoy the Popeye With Throat Cancer treatment. However, with time, I came to see them as an integral part of their sound, as important as the spiraling, dark melodies and atmospheres that blanket their deceptively simple aural landscapes. The tastefully militant blasting and appropriately placed groove sections provided by drummer Incubus are done well enough to the point that variety is not of great concern. Dagon even had the foresight to have two mics set up so he wouldn't simply stand in one place the entire time, and that somehow made it a lot less likely to be bored while watching their ministrations. Clandestinely keeping you titillated since 1989.
A smorgasbord of Louisiana's most metal featuring members of Goatwhore, Crowbar, and Eyehategod, Soilent Green are an unexpectedly well-done mixture of blues-tinged sludge metal and blasting deathgrind. I'd go so far as to say they're one of my 'favourites' among bands I had gone in not expecting to be good, much less pretty darn good. Makes for good BBQ eating soundtracks. Because, y'know, the South. Following them were the French-Canadian band voted least likely to have anything to do with gore or guts, Gorguts, who are equal parts surrealist staircase-to-nowhere artists and death metal.
Reanimating "Orphans Of Sickness" from The Erosion Of Sanity (complete with slamdown) and "Inverted" from From Wisdom To Hate, Gorguts shows that they've not gone entirely soft on us. That is, if you consider the fact that they've run with the avant-garde angle from Obscura onward going 'soft'. Opening with two songs from Coloured Sands as if to say "now that we've got that out the way", they proceeded to blow some minds the way they have been for a quarter century. Damn, they're old. Luc Lemay's cheesy but charming stage banter will tell you that much. Why isn't he my uncle?
Yet another fuzzy treat for my unaware ears were Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats, who got my vote this year for the category of "Why Is This Band Playing Deathfest?" in the same way Anvil did two years ago. Good old fashioned psychedelic doom rock worship aside, they should seriously consider changing their name to Sharp Dressed Man: The Band.
Sure beats the hell out of Bigelf as far as semi-metal 70s hard rock goes. Just out of curiosity: why do none of these bands ever wear 'normal' clothes?
And now came the apex of sadness: Having to abandon the truest Sabbath worshippers in Sweden's Candlemass after their opening song, "Mirror, Mirror" to go catch Japan's legally insane grind outfit Unholy Grave at the Soundstage. Mats Levén of Therion fame handling vocals and the fact that I missed "At Gallows' End" just makes me want to cry forever. Ancient dreams of an alternate reality where this was an easier choice. Almost makes me wonder; was it worth it? I don't like to ask myself these questions, because regret is an unproductive state of being.
The misery continued with the U.K.'s masters of the maudlin, My Dying Bride, with frontman Aaron Stainethorpe sporting a newly shaved dome after my only having ever known him with perpetually soggy lachrymose locks.
Sadly (word choice?), "Deeper Down" and "My Body, A Funeral" didn't make it onto their setlist, and I'm woefully (word choice?) unacquainted with much of their discography, though "The Dreadful Hours" and "Turn Loose The Swans" rang somewhat familiar. Hymns to never ending grief, complete with the mourning, sobering sound of a violin, though unfortunately (word choice?) no rain to complete the ambiance. If it can rain during Neurosis, Electric Wizard, and even Pelican, why no appropriate weather this year? You sicken me, skies. To compound my consternation, I noticed the beginning sign of an oncoming suckfest; that sensation of having a patch of permanently dry skin at the back of your throat, the messenger of death, the common cold. It only got worse from there.
All sordid business with the Edison Lot now done, I had a hot date with the Soundstage and Ratos de Porão, who play fucking fast.
Brazil's Ratos don't play no bossa nova, fool. It's balls-to-the-wall with no breaks at all crossover thrash meets the rawer (or rawwwwwwrrrrrr) sounds of 80s hardcore. Think Suicidal Tendencies in their Join The Army days if they took more cues from Charged G.B.H.'s City Baby Attacked By Rats, with thrashcore beats that threaten to become blasts, and you've got an approximation of how this beast sounds. Pure energy and speed, but always on the right track, like a studded train full of crusties hitting you with a fist made of metalheads. Someone eventually decided that a trash can would have more fun near the pit, and the result was a lot of beer cans and empty food containers on the floor that was once just covered in beer and sweat.
Perfect way to cap off the Soundstage skullduggery.
Meanwhile at Ram's Head the progressive death metal Kiwis in Ulcerate serenaded all present with positive vibration songs such as "Confronting Entropy" and "Clutching Revulsion" from their newest opus Vermis.
Packed full of enough angular riffs to make your head spin, and heavy enough to make it flatten itself, they and Immolation provided an ideal closing combo for this year's Maryland Deathfest. Emphasis being on the death, Yonkers' Immolation packs a firestorm of riffs that haven't died down in over 28 years as a band. From their debut Dawn Of Possession to their most recent Kingdom Of Conspiracy, all eras were covered as they burnt the fest to ashes.
Post-Deathfest Shenanigans
Yours truly got kicked out of a hotel (rather, kicked himself out) because someone decided smoking a cigarette in the hallway was a good idea. To be fair, I tried to help them by putting it out, but what's common sense? Some people just can't hang, and those people are hotel security. Oops.
Then on the walk 'home' I found some people being obnoxious and singing random metal songs at the top of their lungs on the front porch of a hotel. Naturally I go over and join them. I found some beers and a girl that's sexually attracted to snakes or someshit, and she stole the inflatable dinosaur that the guy dressed as a doctor during Impaled's set gave me. Presumably to fuck it.
Then I drank with said doctor and he showed me the horror show that was his hotel bathtub. Thing was a mess of fake blood and empty beer cans. We drank some whiskey for our faces and peaced out. He had a D.R.I. cigarette case, which was rad.
Thrashers, meet your king, passed out on the steps of said hotel at 6 in the morning. I wouldn't be surprised if he's still hungover to this very day, because that kid was literally drunk the entire weekend. And I saw him a lot (he was in just about every pit at Edison), so you know I'm not bullshitting.
Then, just in time for me to get onto a cold 4 hour bus to New York and a subsequently cold 4 hour bus to Boston, my cold reaches fruition, and I die in my seat. Somehow I came back to life to write this review, and all I can say after this glorious headbanging, circlepitting, beer drinking, weed smoking, not-drug-doing, skirt-wearing, awkward-socialising weekend is: Fuck the common cold. Maybe I'll do this again next year.

Core Customers are your company's biggest fans. They love the products or services your company sells, and they're willing to pay a fair price for them. Best of all, they can be counted on to make purchases again and again. Core Customers are loyal, easy (and inexpensive) to deal with and stick with your company even after a promotion ends. They're the famous 20 percent of the customer base that provides the equally famous 80 percent (or more) of profits. Over the long haul, Core Customers are the only ones who truly earn their keep—and they're the ones who will guarantee a company's future success.
Must-Have Customers are potential customers who look a lot like your company's Core customers. They're already buying products or services that are very similar to what you sell and they're paying similar prices. Must-Have Customers are the ones you to convert to Core Customers. The only problem is that your Must-Haves are someone else's Core Customers. Your company simply can not survive long-term unless it's constantly finding Must-Have Customers, taking them away from the competition, and turning them into Core Customers.
Shared values are critical to developing a relationship with your Core Customers who value the attributes of your company and its product or service. For example, if your key point of differentiation is that you offer personalized, service, that's what your Core Customers value. If your company offers high-quality merchandise or fast delivery, or no-questions-asked return policy that's what's important to Core Customers. Without those shared values, the relationship with your customer is purely transactional. Customers might make a purchase every once in a while, but they can't be counted on for repeat business.
You also need to know what your Core and Must-Haves rules are for doing business with you. And that means asking them what they think of your products or services. There's a huge difference between bad research and great research. Bad research yields "nice-to-know" information but nothing relevant that can be acted on. Great research is insightful and provides the basis for effective action.
It's critically important to confine research to Core and Must-Have Customers. Asking anyone else will taint the data and could send the company down the completely wrong—and potentially very dangerous—path. Be sure to ask "knock-out" questions, such as age, income or gender, as early in the process as possible. Getting all the way through a survey, only to find out that the person isn't a Core or Must-Have, is a tremendous waste of time and resources.
Be sure to ask the right questions. In order to formulate the questions, it's critical to have a good idea of the kind of answers the research is looking for. For example, if you want to know why Must-Have Customers aren't buying from your company, you have to ask them. With that as the goal, the research questions can be structured in a way that will produce information that can actually be used.
Questions that could be asked include:
- What is it about our product or service that prevents you from buying from us?
- What other products or services could we offer that would make it easier for you to buy from us?
One of the important actions you need to do is conduct a yearly audit of your progress. This audit is designed to track how well your efforts are to build sustained, profitable growth. Hopefully, the audit will show that you are attracting loyal Core and appealing to Must-Have Customers. If not, the audit will highlight the specific problem areas that need to be corrected.
Here are some of the questions you need to ask during the yearly audit:
- Do we know our Core and Must-Have Customers' rules for doing business with us?
- At what rate are Must-Have Customers turning into Core Customers?
- Do we know why our Core Customers are loyal to our products or services?

Last week we asked if you would consider shutting off your cell phone for a whole day. I must say, I was surprised at the outcome of this poll. In an era so dominated by technology and Internet, you'd think people would be more attached to their phones. Let's take a look at how the vote turned out.
Out of 376 votes in total, 9% said they'd like to shut off their phone but they use it for work, 17% would not consider shutting off their phone, 29% find the idea appealing, and a surprising 45% say they already do it! Do you believe it?
Full results and this week's poll after the jump.
Don't forget to check out last week's best comment by Chris Marcoe, who won 150 reward points for his contribution! In general, I recommend checking out this poll's comments for some interesting insights and explanations.
This week's poll question is: How Many Apps Do You Have Installed On Your Phone?
The average number of apps for an iPhone user is around 40. For Android, the number is slightly lower, averaging at around 30. These are just averages, though. I personally know people who have over 100 apps installed, and others than don't have more than 10.
There are also other smartphones around other than the ever-mentioned iPhone and Android; how about Windows Phone users? What about Blackberry? And let's not forget that app-less feature phones are still pretty abundant. Where are you on the app graph? Unfortunately, the poll will not give us a real average for MakeUseOf readers, but it will give us a glimpse into your mobile habits.
Feel free to give us a more accurate number in the comments. If enough of you give precise number, I promise to calculate an average and publish it next week. Don't forget to mention which phone and OS you use!

472 apps and still looking for a truly great app for travel for an expedition where you have a bunch of people and gear to manage. And one for goals and tasks. I have several, just none that are really good at that.
A good application for task managing is any.do!! Hope that helps :)
check out my count here in my blog
769 apps and counting...
What five apps do you use most often? Have you found any really clever ones?
I'm an old guy (age 77). I expected I would use my smartphone (iPhone 4) to make telephone calls. Wrong! My grandkids will respond to text messages, so I keep in touch with them. I dictate messages on the Dragon app; I read books on my Kindle app; I listen to books on my Audible app; I send photos of local flowers to family and friends; I record my blood pressure in my Capzule PHR app, keep passwords on SplashID, shopping lists on Splash Shopr, watch movies on Netflix, "To Do" lists on WorkFlowy, I save interesting web pages into Pocket to read later, etc. etc. There may be a few of my 85 apps that I don't use, but they are on the phone if I need them!
Awesome!!! :D
176. IPhone 4S, iOS 6.1.3
Depending on what really counts as an app, and what is part of the OS, I have about 63 total on my Android. I use 36 of these either daily or weekly, 15 more of them less frequently, and there are 12 built in, unremovable apps I never use sucking up space.
315 apps on the phone 5
I have 39 apps installed. The most used ones are Ymail, Taptu, Firefox, Vector and Jango radio.
The other apps are just used occasionally when there is any need.
I've 102 apps (including system apps) on my CanvasHD which I bought two weeks back. I use about 20 of them regularly, ie on a daily basis and use the rest of them occasionally. The number will definitely increase on coming days since I had installed 150+ apps on my Nexus One and would have installed more if had more space.
At one point I had around 150 apps installed on my android smartphone. Then I did a factory reset recently and now I have around 15 apps installed and hope to keep it that way for peace of mind and manageability. On hindsight, I only actually need these 15 apps and no more, earlier it was a overkill and lot of apps were lost, I hope you understand what I mean, just installed and lying there and totally ignored.
I have 42 installed apps on my rooted LG L3 E405 running on 8gig external card, with useful applications like whatsapp ,seeder, Exotic colors, Blackmart etc. I also love playing games like Pes 2012, Temple run2, Battle field Bad Company 2, ShadowGun, RangingThunder etc, all are installed and are powered by my directory bind.
59 - that does include some system apps. I have about a dozen that I use very regularly.
I just counted my apps and I have 104! I have got to quit looking at apps everyday. I think I am turning into an app junkie. I have a Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G.
About 400 apps , iphone 5 with 16gb, But I use almost 10 to 15 daily, others are just present there in case I need them.
84 apps - Samsung Galaxy S3 with 32 gb internal memory - Android
I guessed about 20, and then generated a list of installed apps. 70. Shows what I know.
Are we counting the preinstalled apps that come with the phone?
or just the ones that we have downloaded ourselves?
Can't give meaningful reply till the poll is clear.
As of this moment, I have 56 on my iPhone 4 (I'm not sure if the default 'apps' are included on this list). Anyway, to be honest, I only use about half with some regularity:
I'm truly amazed by some of the numbers I've seen. 200, 300, 400+ apps? Seriously?
I'm sensing a little bit of app-hoarding here. Of course every person will have their own reasons for so many apps, but I can't help but feel that there's a lot of that 'someday I'll need this.' Yeah, that could be true. But then there are those times that you've got 3 or 4 folders with different photo apps, where the only difference is two or three filters. Or the news apps, where you have all imaginable newspaper/tv station app installed...
Bottom of the line, it's just a little too much for me, but I have noting against others who feel the opposite.
According to Titanium Backup app I have 328 apps on my Android Droid Razr Maxx running JB 4.2
Well I don't have a number but it's definitely 50+ (got 5 pages of apps in a 4x4 grid).
I recently purchased the olden goldie SGS2, and if I had to just make some calls and text I wouldn't have spent that much money on it.
Once you get a smartphone, you tend to "appify" your work.
For example, I used to keep a small notepad to keep track of my expenditure and anything important during the day. Now I use Google Keep.
Or I used to just memorize the lyrics of a nice new song I'd hear on my way and search google for the lyrics when I get home, now I've got Shazam to do that.
Example are endless!
You slowly discover more & more useful apps that you can work with. And so goes for the games, you just can't get enough with 1. I currently have 20+ games installed which I play depending on time available and situation.
Example if I'm just lying in my bed, I can play Riptide GP or NFS, but if I'm at an appointment, I'd choose a quickie like 7 Little words or maybe Super Hexagon.. :D
Although not an iPhone my iPod Touch can send and receive wi-fi enabled calls as well as Face Time and sms texting and also use it to listen to music and news so I really consider it a communication device like an iPhone. And like most iPhone users I use it extensively.
App wise; I'm not much of a game person with only a few like Real Racing 2&3 and a few Pin ball games. I do aggressively seek out apps that are more in the productivity category. I like evaluating their features and keep the cream of the crop. These include photography, video, audio, design, filters, drawing, painting and utilities to name a few. Because of memory limitations I often have to trash less used apps to make room for new or large updated ones. To date I have 385 apps which I'm finding to be close to my limit.
271 on iPhone4, running iOS 6.1.3
276 not counting system apps
I have about 150.I play with most of them at most once a week.I rely on about 15 that are useful for me.Map,weather,stock market,Email,twitter,alarms,news aggregating,calculator,calender,appts.camera,flashlight,internet search,music,and office are the most useful to me.
306 but i only use like 2 of them.
I used to install all the good apps that I consider "I'll definitely use this some day" but my phone/tablet became very slow, the reason for this is unfortunately many apps still load at the background even if you never use it, it's the "achilles tendone" of android :(
I have about 120 apps, but that's only because I have a 16 gig iPhone 4, and some of my apps take up several hundred megabytes. I have almost no games now, because they are too big. Next phone will definitely have to have more space, because I could really use some more apps. ;-)
About 67 or so but I only use about 20 on a regular basis on my LG Motion. Mind you a chunk of that is apps I can't remove [I haven't rooted my phone yet] or have that are not useful at the moment [Where's my Droid for one]. I want more like games [I get bored really easily] and productivity apps to make it so I can get off my computer and sit on my bed instead of sitting at a desk into the wee hours of the morning but alas, that shall wait until I get a tablet- hopefully for xmas.
Ouch.. I only have 2 installed apps. Well, I use my phone for calling... not for playing and I am happy if I turn it off in the evenings.
WOW!!! That's called heavenly bliss in modern world. Congrats!!! :)
I have 173 apps on my phone which does not seem like a lot looking at others.
using nokia c7 though old but has almost all usefull apps from the store and from outside the store nd none are useless i need them all in sometime or the other
I have between 11 and 20 apps on my Samsung Galaxy Pocket. It slows down if you load too many apps and I have found that lots of apps (9GAG for example) can be replaced with a favourite in my browser.
My favourite games are Hill Climb Racing and Robo Miner, and the app that I probably use the most if Gmail.
416... But I could remove 5 or 6...
Seriously? That is crazy! How many would you say you use day to day? And are they the same apps that you use daily or just a ton of specialty apps?
I have about 63, not including the ones Apple won't let me remove. I can honestly say that I use almost every one at least once or twice a month, though, so that's a plus I guess.

Pussycat Dolls Nicole Scherzinger exclusive
Pussycat Dolls lead singer Nicole Scherzinger shares the inside secrets to Doll domination. Scherzinger admits that the Pussycat Dolls' current single, Jai Ho (You Are My Destiny) from Slumdog Millionaire, is Scherzinger's most personal artistic effort to date.
Pussycat Dolls go Slumming
Scherzinger teamed with two-time Oscar winner A.R. Rahman and producer Ron Fair (Fergie and Christina Aguilera) to craft an English interpretation of the Oscar winner for Best Song, Jai Ho!
Nicole called after the first of two Britney shows in Long Island, New York. To describe the experience a Circusis an understatement, Nicole says!
The Pussycat Dolls have sold over 6 million records internationally. And to think they are simply getting started. The band that is known for Buttons and When I Grow Up has expanded their musical reach exponentially with their Slumdog Millionaire tribute, Jai Ho!
We have a preview of the song below, but first, Nicole speaks to the power of the Slumdog Millionaire sensation, opening for Britney Spears on her Circus tour and what's next for the Pussycat Dolls in their ongoing effort for global Doll Domination.
SheKnows: Your version of Jai Ho!, considering the timing of when it debuted – had to be put together before the Oscars. So, when it won, you must have been ecstatic.
Nicole Scherzinger: Wow, actually when I got the news that Jai Ho had won the Oscar for best song, it was five in the morning in Vienna Austria and I was doing last final scene of shooting the video for Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny). I was in tears. I was happy for everyone that was a part of the Slumdog Millionaire family and far A.R. Rahman, especially for the recognition and the great work that they put out there. It was so awesome. Then, to think we already knew, it didn't matter if it won the Oscar or not, how great the movie and the song was -- which is why we had already done it. To think we were finishing the video and it was an Oscar award-winning song that we just re-invented, it was just...I was speechless. I was in such awe.
SheKnows: Talk about destiny, right?
Nicole Scherzinger: Yeah (laughs).
SheKnows: What was it like working with A.R., albeit from afar?
Nicole Scherzinger: Unfortunately, we couldn't actually be together because I was overseas on tour with the Pussycat Dolls doing our Doll Domination European tour, I believe AR was in Miami. I met him over Skype (laughs). He was the first person I met over Skype (laughs).
SheKnows: Nice!
Giving an Oscar winner its due
Nicole Scherzinger: I got to tell him thank you for letting us work on the song. It was an honor and we'll try to do it justice. Then Ron Fair and I re-worked the song to our best ability. I dug away in the studio for the whole week while I was on tour -- in a studio during the day and doing shows at night.
SheKnows: It is honestly a brilliant piece of work. I haven't heard an update song like your that captures the soul of the original like you did with Jai Ho!
Nicole Scherzinger: Thank you! That is the probably the greatest compliment. We already knew how great the song was in the original form. We weren't trying to beat it or make it anything that we want. For me, I was honored to be the voice of it and to have written the lyrics for it. Because I knew how much the movie had an impact on me and the song itself, what it meant to me. I just put it into my own lyrics. Ron Fair was there every step of the way. I feel like that shined through because people can tell when it's contrived and it's not real. I didn't know if people would like it or not. But, we did it for different reasons, for a higher purpose. It blows my mind still that people are listening to it and they request it. We're just so grateful. I guess, like you said, it was destiny.
SheKnows: It really is, it's haunting. It's one of those songs I listen to over, and over, and over.
Nicole Scherzinger: Thank you so much because I worked so hard on that song – every background, every note, every chant ,every line, we put a lot of care and heart into it because we know the heart and soul behind it already.
Passage to India
SheKnows: It's such a deep and incredible film. What about it truly touched you?
Nicole Scherzinger: The story was profound. I don't know many people who've seen a story like that, a love story so powerful. I said to myself when I finished the film, 'I don't care who you are or where you come from, what you've seen or done in your life, you will be touched, and this film will have an impact on you. The film is monumental. It's...I'm always speechless when I talk about it (laughs). I just love the story. The characters, the acting, and the way they told the story was so raw and so primal, you were right there. It was a little scary. Actually, I was scared most of the time. It was too real. It was trippy because when I was in the studio singing and writing it, I felt like I was in the movie. I felt like I was Latika.
SheKnows: For you guys what was it like filming the video for Jai Ho? It's almost a page from the film and the costumes you all got to wear. What a blast!
Nicole Scherzinger: They were so much fun (laughs). We got to do our own interpretation of a Western-Indian hybrid style wardrobe. I love the colors. I got to wear bindis! I feel like the movie was an extension to where the movie took off at the end.
SheKnows: Oh, totally.
Nicole Scherzinger: Yeah, it's a triumph, jubilation at the end. We got to do our own song and dance.
A different Doll
SheKnows: Have the Dolls been able to perform the song out on the road right now opening for Britney?
Nicole Scherzinger: You know what! We just did Long Island here in New York and it was the very first time we debuted the song in front of a live audience. I was so nervous.
SheKnows: Oh, I bet.
Nicole Scherzinger: Everybody knows us for Loosen Up My Buttons, and Don't Cha and this is a little different song for us. It's so close to my heart, you know when it's your baby, you're afraid to put it out there. I was introducing it. I said, 'this is our new single. I don't know if you've heard of the movie Slumdog Millionaire.' Right when I said that, everyone freaked out. I thought, 'I'm going to be OK. We're in good hands.' These people have a lot of heart and soul. We did it, the music and the entire venue just resonated.
SheKnows: You're giving the audience a chance to feel a part of that film again.
Nicole Scherzinger: I love that you said that -- so true.
Enjoying Britney's Circus
SheKnows: While I have you, how is the tour with Britney doing right now?
Nicole Scherzinger: Um, (laughs), it's great. We've only been on tour for a little over a week and it feels good to be back in the U.S. We love our international fans, but it's great to be able to open up for Britney and get back to connecting with our fans here. The Pussycat Dolls are still hustling. We put on the best show we can, man! People get their money's worth. We are sweating by the end of the first song, so…
SheKnows: Are you guys working on any new material?
Nicole Scherzinger: We're actually repackaging the Pussycat Dolls album and it's coming out March 31. We have new songs including Jai Ho! That's out soon. Then we'll be Doll Dominating again. We're going to Doll dominate Australia and then Asia where Lady Gaga is coming back out with us.
SheKnows: Sweet!
Nicole Scherzinger: I think after that, we might take a little break. I know I have some things in line that I want to do. I'm sure the other girls do as well.
SheKnows: Are we going to hear any more of your solo material in the next couple of years?
Nicole Scherzinger: Definitely, I'm still working on it. The good thing is I'm a relentless perfectionist and the bad thing is I'm a relentless perfectionist (laughs). I want the music to be right. You only get to come out with your first solo album one time. It's all about timing. That's why I feel so fortunate to be a part of Jai Ho!because it is a Pussycat Dolls song featuring Nicole Scherzinger, because this is me. It's my sound. To be able to have the hand I've been able to have in creating this song – people get to know me a little bit more through the soul and the spirit of the song.
SheKnows: That certainly comes through – Nicole, thank you so much and all the best for continued success.
Nicole Scherzinger: Thank you so much. I want to thank all of our Pussycat Doll fans and the Nicole fans – never loose faith.
Preview the song here.

Journal of Landsborough's Expedition from Carpentaria In search of Burke and Wills
Triodia: Sometimes called spinifex, or porcupine grass, is a true desert plant, and at the end of each leaf it is so armed with short prickles that horses dread going through it, and stock never touch it except when it is very young or they are starving.

A lump of horsemeat was staked out near a road and the rangers took turns recording observations in a tiny hide dug into the ground and covered with sticks and spinifex.
Nothing but spiny, pale green clumps of spinifex, a few stands of eucalyptus, and flat, red earth as far as the eye could see.
I had stopped to pull spinifex out of my sock protectors and happened to see it.

O.M. Criswell 1893
Posted By: LuAnn Goeke (email)
Date: 8/16/2009 at 22:01:09
O.M. Criswell has been identified with the interests of Crawford county, Iowa since 1873, when he settled on a farm of 280 acres in section 23, Charter Oak township. This property he has developed into one of the finest farms in this part of the county, operating it chiefly as a stock farm. He keeps full-blooded Durham cattle and Poland-China hogs, and annually handles large numbers of stock cattle, buying and selling and furnishing the supply to feeders in this part of the county. In 1887 Mr. Criswell erected a two-story frame residence, one of the nicest homes in the western part of the county, it being located just outside the corporate limits of Charter Oak, while [next page] a portion of his farm is within the corporation. He has a good barn for stock and grain purposes, and his premises are supplied with water-works. He has bought and sold several other farms, and now owns a number of town properties in Charter Oak, which he rents. While giving his chief attention to his farming and stock operations, Mr. Criswell is also engaged in the real-estate, loan and insurance business, having his office in his brothers clothing establishment.
Mr. Criswell was born in Blair county, Pennsylvania, February 2, 1851, son of Benjamin and Catharine (Edelblute) Criswell, natives of Pennsylvania and descendants of early settlers of the Eastern States. When he was a year old his parents moved to Iowa and settled in Scott county, where his father still lives. His mother is deceased. The subject of our sketch was reared on a farm in Scott county, and completed his education with a two-years course at Cornell College, Iowa. He taught school three years prior to leaving home in 1873, and one year after his marriage cultivated the home farm.
Mr. Criswell was married March 19, 1872, to Miss Flora B. Hart, daughter of Hiram A. and Mary J. (McGuire) Hart, of Clinton, Iowa. The Hart family came from Indiana to Clinton county, Iowa. The mother is now living in Crawford county and the father is deceased. Mr. and Mrs. Criswell are popular in the social circles of their town and are worthy and consistent members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, he being secretary of the Board of Trustees of the church.
Mr. Criswell affiliates with the Democratic party; has officiated in the capacity of Supervisor of the county three years and Chairman of the Board two years; is at present a Justice of the Peace and Chairman of the Board of Education. Fraternally he is associated with the following orders: A.F. & A.M., Sylvian Lodge, No. 507; K. of P., No. 221, of which he is Past Chancellor; and I.O.O.F., No. 105.

VitaFast test kits provide a fast and easy method of determining the content of vitamins in food products, animal feed and pharmaceutical products.
The vitamin content of these products are measured by manufacturers as well as by private laboratories and government authorities to ensure they comply with food standards across the world.
As part of HACCP and label claims, it is important to measure the level of vitamins as they can be affected by inadequate amounts being added, loss during processing or shelf-life stability.
A novel assay for water soluble vitamins called VitaFast has been introduced by Arrow Scientific .
VitaFast kits can be used in place of cumbersome traditional assays and have a much shorter hands-on time. The tests allow you to calculate both native and added vitamins. They were developed according to AOAC and EU reference methods.
Microtitre plates are coated with specific micro-organisms, which grow according to the presence/absence of vitamins in the sample.
After placing sample, standard and assay medium into the wells, the plates are incubated and subsequently evaluated using a microtitre plate reader.
Unlike traditional microbiological assays, all VitaFast kit reagents are ready for use. The microtitre plate format allows a high degree of automation, thus achieving a significant reduction of labour while increasing precision.
With an ever increasing number of food products now being enriched with vitamins, from water to bread to yoghurts, consumers and regulators are becoming more aware of claims made.
VitaFast is a perfect tool to ensure product quality in terms of monitoring processing, correct nutritional label information and stability of the vitamins in products over time.
The product line includes tests for folic acid, vitamin B12, biotin, niacin, pantothenic acid, thiamine, riboflavin and pyridoxine.

Winter Weather Preparedness Week
It's yet to be a problem, but snow and ice will eventually fall. And being ready is the key.
We've reached the mid-point of November. This is Winter Preparedness Week. Now's the time to prepare. according to Illinois State Trooper Tracy Lillard ...
Trooper Lillard also recommends having a winter survival kit in your vehicle. Water, extra clothing, dry snow boots, sand or kitty litter, a shovel, and booster cables can be helpful. A metal can and some matches (to melt snow if necessary), along with some extra windshield washer fluid are other items recommended.
Lillard also suggests motorists slow down. It's the drivers traveling too fast for conditions that gets them into trouble.

Tamara Ecclestone has become the proud mother of a baby girl named Sophia. And her husband, Jay Rutland is the happy father of the female infant.
Tamara Ecclestone, the famous model and F1 heiress recently gave birth to a baby daughter. Her husband Jay Rutland and she named the little bundle of joy, Sophia. The meaning of the name is "wisdom" or "wise one".
This is the first time Tamara has been pregnant and given birth. She is a gleeful mother who is positively glowing with the satisfaction of being a parent now. She stated the obvious on Instagram.
The words attached to the picture of mother and daughter went like this: "Welcome to the world, Sophia." She also announced her daughter's weight which is six pounds and nine ounces.
Welcome to the world Sophia, our beautiful baby girl, born yesterday 6lb 9oz. Proudest day of our… http://t.co/vdPjz7krBA— Tamara Ecclestone (@TamEcclestone) March 18, 2014
Her husband Jay Rutland and she had been married for a year. He was an erstwhile City trader. Tamara does not lack in the money department. Her father is the fourth richest man in the UK. Bernie Ecclestone, her paterfamilias is an F1 billionaire.
Three musketeers forever. Love my little family x http://t.co/2Pwgm8eZZ4— Tamara Ecclestone (@TamEcclestone) March 18, 2014
Ecclestone admits that her sister's advent into motherhood made her give parenthood some serious thought. When she saw her sibling make such heartfelt sacrifices as getting up in the middle of the night for her baby, it touched a delicate chord within Ecclestone.
Speaking to HELLO! Tamara said, "It opened my eyes as to how all-consuming motherhood is. Petra gets up with Lavinia in the middle of the night – she's such a great mum. It also gave me a reality check that it isn't just about buying cute baby clothes."
The model and mum said that the gestures taught her an object lesson in giving, loving, caring and sharing. That was the moment she knew that she too wanted a family life with cute children. In the capacity of a fashionable celebrity, Tamara got a few stylish clothes for her small wonder.
The couple's wedding was a star-studded affair that was financed by Tamara's dad. Elton John played some songs at the wedding which may have cost Bernie more than a million dollars. Tamara has called her family the three musketeers. She is positively looking forward to parenthood and feels sure that her husband will equally participate in the process of childrearing.

Product Highlights
Ideal for large shooting spaces, the Limelight VB-1185 Standard Lighting Boom is the big brother of the VB-1180, measuring 9.5' overall and offering a 6.0' reach. The VB-1185 has a unique parallelogram design that makes it one of the most flexible support tools on the market. One of the more annoying and potentially hazardous aspects of overhead lighting involves the need to adjust the angle of your light source whenever you adjust the height of the boom. The VB-1185 cleverly addresses this problem by using a levering arm to self-adjust the light source's angle to keep it constant during changes in height. Subsequent angle changes are made simple with the handle at the pivot point that allows you 360 degree control of the head extension.
Excellent balance is another feature of the VB-1185's design, allowing you to forgo the anxiety of unlocking, tightening, and re-locking the boom for every adjustment. Once the two included 15 lb capacity counterweight bags are in place you can raise, lower, and swing the boom at will while it stays put. This aspect allows you try multiple creative positions that you might have abandoned to avoid arduous hoisting.
The VB-1180 weighs 16 lb and comes with 2 empty 15 lb capacity counterweight bags and an 18" head extension which can be swapped out for optional 24, 30, or 48" extensions for a longer reach.

Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (A)
Low input, sustainability, environment conservation, and animal welfare are gradually acknowledged as keywords for future animal husbandry system. We discussed future dairy farming bibliographically and empirically. Bibliographical research revealed that mountaneous area being dominated by animal husbandry was handicapped of various aspects, in which even agriculture had disadvantage not only internationally but also domestically. It is necessary to establish advantageous rural industry. It must be a multi-propose industry having various functions such as conservation of environment and landscape, education, amenity, and preservation of local culture, local historic events and places.Two dairy farms were investigated, where grazing lands were sustained with no fertilisers and cows were not fed concentrates. A cow produced about 4,000kg /year and its welfare level was improved drastically. Pollution from the farms decreased to 1/2-1/3 of conventional farms in Germany and 1/12-1/16 of co

nventional farms in Japan. Grass production in grazing lands allocating 0.8 ha/cow was suppressed drastically, which was responsible for only 18% of nutrient input of cows. Plan species were biassed to short types and numbers of plant species increased. However, diversity index with quantitative scales decreased. In addition, numbers of bacteria in grazing lands decreased and a diversity level on micro flora and soil animals did not represent wilderness. Severe low input system of dairy farming suppressed a diversity level of plant species, micro flora and soil animals, suppressed grass productivity, caused cows to graze for a long time. It is suggested of imbalance between low input and productivity, conservation of environment and landscape, animal welfare. Then, we investigated a moderate input system where cows were fed concentrates of 1.1t/head/year and produced about 6,000kg/year. Coverage of weeds in grazing lands was a few percentages and micro flora and soil animals were rich, which represented wilderness. Less

For the second straight year, state legislators have dragged their feet fulfilling promises they made to college students at the start of the school year.
Months later, with spring semester winding down, students struggling to make ends meet have failed to see the promised relief from Illinois' Monetary Awards Program (MAP).
On average, MAP Grant awardees at GC each receive more than $4,000 in tuition assistance for the year. Prior to the start of the current school year, the state awarded 281 students at the College a total of $1.1M. The funds have not arrived.
The current lag is reminiscent of the state's failure last year to deliver MAP funds in a timely manner. That delay exacerbated cash flow problems for students, colleges and universities throughout the state. At GC, funds to cover fall tuition finally arrived in late spring, and funds to cover spring tuition arrived during the summer. The College and its donors stepped in to assist affected students, but the solution entailed restructuring on the part of the College and significant loss of personnel.
Students are responsible for paying their bills whether grant monies arrive or not. Under normal circumstances, they must pay tuition before the start of a semester. Now, however, GC has made special allowances for MAP Grant awardees to carry balances on their bills as the prolonged wait continues.
Financial Aid Advisor Ashley Chaney says many MAP awardees have dealt with the cash flow crisis by taking out additional loans. She hears their stories of struggle:
Parents of students want to know why the College can't step in and provide relief as it did last year.
"I try and remind them that we'd love to," says Chaney, "but it's $1.1M; most schools can't cover that."

Recent experience in the UK Patents Court has shown that the validity of patents for genuine inventions in the telecommunications field will be upheld and infringement found. Patents for merely the obvious will be revoked. In the SSH case, Sony evidently took the view that European Patent (UK) to 2 254 311 ("EP 311") fell into the latter category. Sony commenced an action seeking revocation in the UK court. EP 311 had a priority date of 1999 and related to an aspect of accessing wide area networks, such as the internet and was particularly concerned with ensuring the Internet Protocol Security protocol suite could be used reliably and securely through a Network Address Translator (intermediate nodes acting as gateways between a private network and e.g. the internet).
Sony's claim prompted SSH to counterclaim for infringement, alleging that certain Sony Xperia devices infringed EP 311. As is usual in the UK, the claim for revocation and the infringement counterclaim were tried at the same time.
On 10 October 2016, the English Patents Court (Roger Wyand QC, sitting as a Deputy High Court judge) gave judgment in the case. It illustrates two particular aspects of UK patent litigation; (1) amendment during litigation; and (2) the approach to obviousness arguments based on common general knowledge alone.
Amendment during litigation
In the UK, the court has power, in infringement and revocation proceedings, to allow amendments to the patent in suit. The patentee thus has the opportunity, subject to the usual principles about basis and clarity, of seeking to frame a revised claim that, on the one hand, better distinguishes the invention from the prior art but, on the other, still catches the alleged infringement. The amendments can be either conditional (i.e. the patentee intends to defend the claims as granted) or unconditional. The allowability of the amendments (whether or not they add matter, are clear and/or cure any invalidity) will be decided at the same time as the main trial. In the case of amendments that involve a rewriting of the claims (e.g. an insertion of wording from the description), it is important from the patentee's perspective that proposed amendments are tabled in a timely manner and it is not left too late.
Here, SSH put forward three sets of conditional amendments in the proceedings, the first introducing limitation into all the claims that corresponded with these specific embodiment of EP 311, the second adding an extra limitation into claim 3 and the third a yet further limitation into claim 6. Although points on added matter and lack of clarity were taken by Sony on the proposed amendments, the Judge disagreed on those aspects.
Obviousness and Common general knowledge alone
The case reinforces a recent theme that arguments of invalidity based on common general knowledge alone tend can have difficulties, at least when compared with an attack based on a specific prior art citation. In a previous case, the Court of Appeal has explained that the difficulty arises from the fact that the starting point for the obviousness attack based on common general knowledge alone is not "encumbered with inconvenient details of the kind found in documentary disclosures, such as misleading directions or distracting context", and pointed out, therefore, that is "vitally important to make sure that the whole picture presented by the common general knowledge is considered, and not a partial one" (Ratiopharm v Napp [2009] RPC 11 at 158).
Indeed, in the SSH case, the Deputy Judge referred to that guidance of the Court of Appeal and, on the facts, rejected Sony's obviousness case based on common general knowledge alone.
The conclusion was, however, different when it came to considering the obviousness attack based on two particular prior art citations. Originally Sony pleaded six specific items of prior art (apart from the common general knowledge alone case), which is quite numerous by usual UK procedural standards. In the end, Sony limited the number of items of prior art relied upon to just two: firstly, minutes of the meeting of the 43rd IETF NAT Working Group in Orlando of 9 December 1998; and secondly, a document by Senie called 'NAT Friendly Application Design Guidelines'. The Deputy Judge considered the expert evidence as to the teaching of the cited items of prior art and what the notional skilled person would have understood from them. He concluded that the difference between the cited prior and the invention claimed in claim 1 of EP 311 were obvious steps to the skilled addressee. The subsidiary claims, said by SSH to be valid independently of claim 1, were also all found to be obvious. Nor, in the Deputy Judge's view, did any of the proposed amended claims cure the invalidity of EP 311.
So far as infringement was concerned, the Deputy Judge held that the Sony Xperia devices would have infringed several of the claims if they were valid in their un-amended form and in their proposed amended forms. However, the infringement claim could not succeed as all the claims of EP 311 (both as granted and as proposed to be amended) were found to be invalid.

President Obama signed legislation Monday that authorizes $19 billion for NASA in fiscal 2011, funding an additional shuttle flight, accelerating development of a new heavy lift rocket for deep space exploration and pressing ahead with plans to use commercial spacecraft to ferry astronauts to and from the International Space Station.
The budget cancels the Bush administration's Constellation moon program, but endorses development of a manned spacecraft for deep space exploration similar to the Orion capsule envisioned for the scrapped moon missions. It also calls for development of new technologies, continued robotic exploration and a major upgrade to the launch infrastructure at the Kennedy Space Center and the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.

NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden will depart to China on Saturday for introductory talks on potential space partnerships and unprecedented visits to Chinese human spaceflight facilities.
Agency spokesman Michael Cabbage said Tuesday that Bolden's itinerary was not finalized. Seven NASA officials will accompany Bolden on the five-day trip.
Responding to a letter from Rep. Frank Wolf, R-Va., Bolden said the visit will follow up on agreements reached in November 2009 between President Obama and Chinese President Hu Jintao. Both leaders issued a joint communique calling for talks on cooperation in human spaceflight. FULL STORY

A huge alien planet discovered in a system with two suns akin to the fictional "Star Wars" world of Tatooine is forcing astronomers to rethink their theories about how gas giant planets form.
The two stars are close enough together that the leading theory for planet formation � that dust and gas circling the stars slowly accrete into such planets' rocky cores � isn't likely, researchers said. The stars' gravity would disrupt this process long before it could get very far, they added. [Gallery: The Strangest Alien Planets.] FULL STORY

The vast plains of Mars may be the most promising place beyond Earth for human colonization, but is it enough for a one-way trip to the Red Planet? Two researchers seem to think so.
In an article published this month in the Journal of Cosmology, environmental scientist Dirk Schulze-Makuch and physicist Paul Davies argue that a manned one-way mission to Mars would not only make economical sense, but mark the beginning of long-term colonization of the planet. FULL STORY

Humans� attempts to visit space may not be good for the folks back home, according to a new study that finds soot emitted by space tourism rockets could significantly contribute to global climate change in coming decades.
The researchers assumed that a fast-growing suborbital space tourism market will develop over the next decade, and they examined the climate impact of soot and carbon dioxide emissions from 1,000 suborbital rocket flights per year, the approximate number advertised in recent materials promoting space tourism.
"Rockets are the only direct source of human-produced compounds above about 14 miles (22.5 kilometers), and so it is important to understand how their exhaust affects the atmosphere," said the study's chief researcher, Martin Ross of The Aerospace Corp. in El Segundo, Calif. FULL STORY

Everything falls, and we all land somewhere.
So we rented a room on the third floor of a colonial style hotel in Padang where we wouldn't be noticed for awhile.
Nne hundred euros a night bought us privacy and a balcony view of the Indian Ocean. During pleasant weather, and there had been no shortage of that over the last few days, we could see the nearest part of the Archway: a cloud-colored vertical line that rose from the horizon and vanished, still rising, into blue haze. As impressive as this seemed, only a fraction of the whole structure was visible from the west coast of Sumatra. The Archway's far leg descended to the undersea peaks of the Carpenter Ridge more than a thousand kilometers away, spanning the Mentawat Trench like a wedding band dropped edge-up into a shallow pond. On dry land, it would have reached from Bombay on the eastern coast of India to Madras on the west. Or, say, very roughly, New York to Chicago.

When we talk about the household chores, ironing is probably the most tedious job that housekeepers do. In fact, it is one of those tasks that you would do anything to avoid. Fortunately, the modern appliances have all the technology to make ironing comfortable and faster. All you need is to buy quality steam irons Adelaide that will make the chore stress free.
What exactly are steam irons?
The steam irons use heated water to remove wrinkles from fabrics and clothes that may easily burn with the traditional dry irons. The irons use distilled water converted into steam by a unique heating element. The steam comes through the holes on the soleplate and loosens up the fibres of the clothes to make them smooth.
By buying the right steam iron, you will no longer need to take your clothes to the dry cleaners. They are reliable and more convenient to use. However, when buying a steam iron, you need to choose your unit wisely, as some will not do a good job.
When buying a steam iron, it is always good to opt for durable steam irons. How do you know which one is durable and which one is not? Well, it is easy. You can always find consumer guides online that will give you reviews and guidelines on which models are capable of delivering full doses of steam and heat even after hours of use.
Your Clothes
When shopping for a quality steam iron, pay much attention to the materials where your clothes are made. You can find flat irons that have spray and burst of steam features if most of your clothes are made of the natural fibres like heavy fabrics such as denim and linen.
Before you buy a particular model of steam iron, it's best to give it a test run first. You want to buy a flat iron that is comfortable enough to pick up and hold. Remember that you will be taking several hours or minutes ironing your clothes on the weekend, so you might as well get an appliance that will strain your arms. You also want a steam iron that you can easily manoeuvre, so if you have big hands, a small iron may not work for you.
The Controls
Various steam irons Adelaide come with different types of controls. Some have the dials, others come with slides, and there are also those that come with digital readouts. Make sure you purchase a steam iron that come with controls that are easy to see and adjust. You might even buy models with clearly marked fabric settings to avoid damaging sensitive fabrics like silk.
When it comes to buying irons, always make sure that you are not only purchasing the right models but also buying from reputable dealers. Just like any other product, you can buy irons online. There are many dealers, and it takes research to find a reliable home appliance store where you can purchase your steam iron. If you do not know where to start, you can talk to friends who have recently purchased an iron and ask for a recommendation. You can as also research online.
