The bottom line is that this is a decent product, but it just doesn't show up very well. It can be layered for darker results, but it seems to take lot of layering, and that's kind of a pain. Once it shows up, the color is pretty nice (not too red or orange), and the consistency is nice and light...no breakouts either. I am going to play around with this a bit and add it to foundation and possibly try it on the body. As a straight out gel face bronzer it is not really cutting it...there are quite a few choices of these on the market these days, and many of them are better (and often cheaper) than this. Would be nice on super light skin tones who just want a touch of color.

If you're fair skinned and just need something that will make you look less pale, this would be a good choice. For actual "bronzing" it doesn't deliver. It's a thick gel that goes on a sheer chocolate brown. No glimmer, no sparkle, no hint of peach or pink. I tend to look sallow without any makeup on, so I rely on bronzers to perk up my complexion. This just made me look tired, and it's even worse under office fluorescent lighting. I do give it pluses for the simple formula -- minimal ingredients and this didn't irritate my sensitive skin at all.

I do really like this product BUT it is very important to note my skin tone. I use Nars Mont Blanc, Fresh Northern Light and Becca Sand. So rather pale nuetral skin with freckles. This "Instant Temporary Tan" is quick and easy to use. Basically a thick gel that give a little color. It can be layered a bit for more color but honestly I think this only works well for fair to light skin tones and it is not going to give you a deep tan. Medium to dark skin should just pass because I don't think you will see much and the product is pricey. Can be used on body and does not seem to transfer but I have not full tested the product out for that. Good to mix with Becca's LSF if you get a bit of a tan so you don't have to buy the next darker shade or 2 during summer months. I like it but again only good for very fair to light tones and will give a very natural look. Is not orange at all, extremely natural.

The Legislature is apparently ready to fill a gap in California's law to compensate people who are imprisoned for crimes they didn't commit. The gap is that the law covers only those who suffered financial losses from their lockup, and apparently leaves out the down-and-outers who were unemployable in the view of the board that awards the payments.
The fix may come too late, however, for the daughter of a San Diego County man who spent nearly seven years in state prison, and found out only after his release that he shouldn't have been charged in the first place.
On Monday, a state appeals court upheld the Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board's denial of funds to Charles Herbert Holmes III's daughter, who took up his case after his death.
Holmes had a long criminal record, mostly for relatively minor offenses, but was convicted of second-degree child molestation in Rhode Island in 1992, when he was in his late 20s. After moving to California about 20 years later and serving time for burglary, he was ordered to register as a sex offender, failed to do so and was sentenced to prison in 2005.

Reading and making sense of the words used in dictionaries is an art that not many people have mastered. Regular paper dictionaries usually do a very bad job of explaining synonyms and the relations between words and their meanings. This is where Snappy Words comes in.
Snappy Words is an online dictionary that displays words and their meanings in an easy to understand graphical view.
Words and their meanings and synonyms are displayed in a color coded graph where each color depicts a relation. The colors make it easy for anyone to understand the relation that is being depicted at a glance. For example, from the above image, you can tell that a christmas berry is a "kind of" shrub or bush and that it is also a word for "Toyon".
- Interactive visual dictionary online.
- No registration required to use.
- Free to use for any number of word searches.
- Easy to understand color codes.
- Brings an element of fun to the boring task of reading dictionaries.

In August, we devoted almost an entire issue to suggest this was not necessarily so and that people should revise their investment strategies. In particular, in the past year it has given me immense pleasure to bin all press releases suggesting the Far East was a suitable area for investment. As Brian Tora, one of our regular columnists, made clear a few months ago, that particular market looked very wobbly and, he presciently argued, a fall there could have grave consequences for the rest of world equity markets.
Moreover, as Jonathan Davis, another columnist, has repeatedly written, the US stock market in particular is generally overvalued - and the recovery seen there in the latter part of this week may only serve to conceal this underlying problem.
Volatility is now the key feature of world equity markets and anyone who fails to recognise this is cruising for a financial bruising.
Does this mean we should pull out of equities? Er, no. Let's start from basics: why do we invest? For most of us, it isn't because we enjoy the vicarious thrill of shares rollercoastering up and down every week. OK, there is a sense of satisfaction if a fund we have put our money in does particularly well, but the main reason is that we have little alternative.
If you are saving for retirement, or to pay off your mortgage, equity investment provides one of the few ways of earning respectable returns. What must change is the assumption that markets will always deliver the goods to small investors. Sadly, that was never true and this week's hair-raising experience is the best possible reminder of it.
There is something strangely amiss with all this discussion of stakeholder pensions, flowing from the Government's wish to consult widely on its plans to reform the pension system.
For a start, insurance companies are backing the notion of highly flexible pensions with no penalties for stopping and restarting contributions or increasing them. They also want these pensions to be extremely cheap.
Could these be the same companies that have consistently sold poor-value products to unsuspecting punters over the past few years, leaving them potentially tens of thousands of pounds worse off in retirement than they should be? Would it not be better for them to practice what they preach in the here and now?
Moreover, surely the real question should not simply be that of creating better "second-tier" pension provision. When is the Government going to make good the past 18 years' massive fall in value of the "first-tier" system, the basic state pension?

Home Dishwashers Full Size DW80323
Fully Featured Dishwasher with additional cutlery tray
Height: 85cm / Width: 60cm / Depth: 59.8cm
Fully Featured Dishwasher with additional cutlery tray
Many people bought A-rated dishwashers in 2012, but if you chose the A++ DW80323W EcoSmart dishwasher it could save you around £11 every year, that's enough to buy 77 tablets for your dishwasher every year, or enough energy to give you the first 90 dishwasher loads for free. 1
With a large 13 place settings capacity, you can wash all of your dishes, even larger items, in one go.
Comes in handy when you have extra cutlery to wash or if you need to free up the space in the bottom basket to load larger items.
Fully extendable and easy to load, the height of the upper basket can be adjusted even when fully loaded, to make room for larger items in the bottom basket.
The cutlery basket slides across the width of the dishwasher allowing more effective loading of dishes. It can also be completely removed to create room for larger items.
The plate supports can be folded to make room for larger dishes, pans and bowls, allowing for more effective loading.
The cup racks can be folded to make room for larger dishes, pans and bowls, allowing for more effective loading.
The quick programmes are great for when you're in a hurry and allow you the flexibility to wash a full load in 30 or 58 minutes, depending on the level of dirt on the dishes.
Choose from a variety of special programmes to suit different load types, ensuring your dishes and cutlery are impeccably cleaned and cared for.
The auto sense programme adjusts the washing parameters to the dirtiness of the load – saving you money by using the optimum amount of energy and water.
The Half Load function is a perfect addition for those days when you don't have a large load of dishes to wash - it can help you save between 10-25% in energy and water consumption when washing half or smaller loads.
The LCD display shows the programme selection and time remaining for each cycle, as well as the time delay – making your life that little bit easier.
Whisper quite with 43 db noise level, this dishwasher is ideal for open plan kitchens.
Choose a programme start time that is convenient for you. Time your dishwasher to start while you're out and be ready to simply put away your dishes when you get back - saving you time and hassle.
Easy to view, these indicator lights let you know when salt or rinse aid needs adding to your dishwasher.

Pink Petticoat Pillow
We've come a long way from the roll of paper towels we used as a pillow on the first day here. I have loved the Pink Petticoat Pillow from Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic for ages, and since I could have it shipped here to Florida, it worked out perfectly. It's a little more dusty rose than the Ballet pink that I had expected, but quite lovely all the same.
When working with clients it it really important to measure precisely, both for floor plans and furnishings. Since we only had one visit to this house when we purchased it, I relied on the real estate listing to provide measurements for the living room. Which was subjective to where you stand when you measure. The result is the room was not wide enough for the daybed I purchased to go where I thought it would. I will have to play with location once the rest of the furniture arrives, but it looks like it has to go on this wall in the living room, which is fine as it provides extra seating. Since this house is 2 bedrooms, we need sleeping spaces wherever we can find them. Hence this daybed.....a perfect place for a guest (or me) to snooze)

THE WORLD HAS BEEN INVADED BY ALIENS! It's up to a nerdy, lazy high school kid to save it!
3.85 / 5.00 5,816 ViewsUse your ninja slicing skills to find and spell the given words.
With 100,000 words to spell in a fast paced game play, a crossword game has never been more satisfying. There is also an endless mode for relaxing game play.
Well, idea is good. But...
My example: "epicalypse" or such. easy, right? but there was two "e"s near "p" and my first glance was the "WRONG" "E" and it took my time.
Game randomly can give more solutions, but accepts only one. that's lame.
In arcade mode, when I was playing fast enough to actually beat it, the game was showing me a sign: "Cheating detected. Punishing with ads." And advert was poping out, blocking game field. Thats lame.
1) This is a words search, not a crossword.
2) I'm not sure but I think some of these words it's giving me to look for are nonsense words. 0.o
3) I agree with whoever said that you need to fix where the words appear. After less than a dozen puzzles I was able to find my words with a glance around the edge 8/10 times. Too easy. At least progressive difficulty if you're worried about it being too hard.
Great job otherwise!
The game was really great, great background visuals, the music is really good, and the game is just really fun to play itself. only problems I can see is that when you get an unlock the game lags really bad making it really hard to slice as your mouse will just straight jump over letters and make you miss half your word. Other than that last tidbit great game almost a 5 star IMO.
Good game - a few glitches get in the way though, especially if you play it for a long round.

DNA viruses, retroviruses and hepadnaviruses, such as hepatitis B virus (HBV), are vulnerable to genetic editing of single stranded DNA by host cell APOBEC3 (A3) cytidine deaminases. At least three A3 genes are up regulated by interferon-alpha in human hepatocytes while ectopic expression of activation induced deaminase (AICDA), an A3 paralog, has been… (More)
Two full-length human immunodeficiency virus type 1 O sequences are described, one of which was hypermutated in all regions of the genome. This indicates that the intracellular [dTTP]/[dCTP] bias conducive to G-->A hypermutation may be sustained throughout the synthesis of minus-strand DNA. In turn, this suggests the possibility of mutation of host… (More)
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA is vulnerable to editing by human cytidine deaminases of the APOBEC3 (A3A-H) family albeit to much lower levels than HIV cDNA. We have analyzed and compared HBV editing by all seven enzymes in a quail cell line that does not produce any endogenous DNA cytidine deaminase activity. Using 3DPCR it was possible to show that all but… (More)
To control the quality of genomic DNA of samples from a wide variety of animals, a heminested PCR assay specifically targeting a nuclear gene has been developed. The histone H4 gene family comprises a small number of genes considered among the most conserved genes in living organisms.

Two of the first human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) strains isolated were authenticated by reanalyzing original cultured samples stored at the Collection Nationale de Culture des Microorganismes as well as uncultured primary material. Cloned polymerase chain reaction products were used to analyze coding sequences of the V3 loop in the gp120… (More)
DNA complementarity is expressed by way of three hydrogen bonds for a G:C base pair and two for A:T. As a result, careful control of the denaturation temperature of PCR allows selective amplification of AT-rich alleles. Yet for the same reason, the converse is not possible, selective amplification of GC-rich alleles. Inosine (I) hydrogen bonds to cytosine… (More)
Retroviruses, hepadnaviruses, and some other retroelements are vulnerable to editing by single stranded DNA cytidine deaminases. Of the eleven human genes encoding such enzymes, eight have demonstrable enzymatic activity. Six of seven human APOBEC3 are able to hyperedit HBV DNA, frequently on both strands. Although human APOBEC1 (hA1) is not generally… (More)
The APOBEC3 gene cluster encodes six cytidine deaminases (A3A-C, A3DE, A3F-H) with single stranded DNA (ssDNA) substrate specificity. For the moment A3A is the only enzyme that can initiate catabolism of both mitochondrial and nuclear DNA. Human A3A expression is initiated from two different methionine codons M1 or M13, both of which are in adequate but… (More)

Thankfully, Gilliam doesn't seem to have much time for being an autocrat. Yes, he took out a famous full page ad in Variety addressed to the head of Universal Pictures: "Dear Sid Sheinberg. When are you going to release my film, Brazil? Terry Gilliam." Yes, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen almost doubled its budget from $23m to $40m, and was taken over first by completion bond company Film Finances and finally by Lloyds of London. But amid all the grandiose concepts, abandoned scenes, studio wrangles and lost footage, the image which frequently comes to mind is Gilliam the harassed summer camp drama teacher, cancelling his ambitious production of Alice in Wonderland because he realised he'd bitten off more than he could chew.
Born to an Episcopalian family in Minnesota, home state of the Coen Brothers and their Fargo, the rebellious liberal arts graduate got his big break early. As assistant to Mad editor Harvey Kurtzman on humour magazine Help!, he was surrounded by satirists from Robert Crumb to Woody Allen, and at one point a couple of guys touring with the Cambridge Footlights: John Cleese and Graham Chapman. A month at film school (he couldn't stand the politics), a stint in the National Guard (to avoid Vietnam) a trip round Europe (a sort of cultural Disneyland), and a period with the LA Free Press (selling cartoons all the while) ended with a flight to England, a reunion with Cleese, and a meeting with Michael Palin, Terry Jones and Eric Idle. And the rest is Python.
Until 1977, that is, when he tired of sharing directing duties with Jones and wanted to have a go on his own. Jabberwocky, co-written with the man he replaced at Help!, Charles Alverson, built on the gore and grime of Monty Python and the Holy Grail to produce the prototype Terry Gilliam movie: the reluctant hero, the eccentric heroine, the uncertain quest, and a background somewhere between Breughel, Bergman and Richard Lester. Time Bandits, the second production from HandMade Films following Monty Python's Life of Brian, took him further away from Python and closer to Brazil, the movie which, even after the success of The Fisher King and Twelve Monkeys and the controversy surrounding Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, still defines his career.
So far, so fascinating. Unfortunately, because another book has covered the same ground - The Battle of Brazil by Jack Mathews, from a rival publisher - this one has edited out the episode which shows Gilliam at both his most reasonable and most pugnacious: the epic struggle to rescue his dark 130-minute final cut from executives demanding an upbeat two-hour movie. However, when it comes to themes - ie the stuff that really matters - there's no faulting either of them, and as Spielberg polishes his second Oscar, it's interesting to read why Gilliam prefers 2001: A Space Odyssey to Close Encounters of the Third Kind: Kubrick ended with a question rather than an answer, and mysteries are more intriguing than explanations.

I wish I enjoyed Yogi teas, but despite trying a few, I just can't enjoy them. Was hoping this one would be good but I find the taste insipid and unpleasantly sweet at the same time, which I've found with other Yogi teas. Lovely packaging, but not for me.

InSomnia - Interviews & New Update
July 16th, 2014, 18:45
The latest kickstarter update from Studio Mono talks about the game music. The game is close to being funded, and has managed to earn $67,281 of the $70,000 goal.
Music is the spice of lifeI also found two more inteviews for the game.
Greetings, everyone! Today we would like to share a small update about the music in InSomnia RPG, but first we would like to mention that we are really close to reaching the main goal of $70,000! Thank you so much to everyone who has backed the game, and to all who have helped to spread the word so far. We still have 9 days to hit our target, as well as to reach some stretch goals!
How would you best explain InSomnia to someone unfamiliar with the game?Gamereactor
Anatoliy: The Story takes place on a gargantuan, half-deserted space station known as The Ark that is slowly making its way toward an elusive planet known only as the Evacuation Point. The Ark is inhabited by the descendants of the Nomans, a race of people who escaped their home planet several centuries earlier when it had become uninhabitable due to a cataclysmic conflict between the Republic of Noma and the SORG Regime. You play as a character who awakens from cryogenic sleep, who, unknowingly, holds the future of humanity in their hands.
What has been the biggest challenge since youve been working on InSomnia?
Anatoliy: The biggest challenge was not to stop the development. There were several times where things were not going so well, where we could have given up. So, with that thought, I would definitely say it was about perseverance.
Could you tell us how you feel InSomnia stands apart from other games in the genre?
Anatoliy: From our aesthetics to the setting, we feel that were offering something truly unique. Add to this a rich storyline, decisions that affect not only the plot, but the games climax, and a team deeply inspired by classic RPGs, means that were excited to be creating a game thatll pay homage to the past while still pushing boundaries.
If you don't have a clear recollection of it, Insomnia is an RPG that was first announced last year when it hit Kickstarter. That first campaign never really got off the ground, but Studio Mono are back for another bite at the crowdfunding apple.More information.
At the time of writing, the game is about $5k short of its Kickstarter goal. Last time they tried to go through this route they pulled the plug after getting just over $5k in total. We asked lead developer Anatoliy Guyduk what had changed this time around?
"The main thing that changed is that we now have a much more clear overview of the project when compared to the first KS campaign. We have a presentation scene and tech demo proving that we're really making our own game engine and showing that the game is more than just vapourware. They don't look too bad, so I think this is a good way for us to prove that we can deal with complicated tasks and of course, that we're capable of building the game of our dreams. Our first campaign had many problems, like the bad start date and really bad copywriting and explanation of what InSomnia should be. We gathered all of our feedback from the previous campaign and we realised our mistakes and decided to work on them more, improve our campaign's message, get some playable concepts together and re-launch."

Insurance salesman Rudolf Thurner started making cars in a former fabric mill in Bernbeuren in Germany in 1969. His cars were predominantly sports cars with glass-fibre reinforced polyester bodies and side-lifting "winged" doors, using shortened floor pans from the NSU 1200. The engines were also from NSU and mounted in the rear of the car. There was also a motor sport version with tweaked NSU engine with fuel injection that delivered 135 bhp.

Cheng PhD students Yong Woon Ahn, Yu Li, Xingliang Zou, Behnaz Sanati, Sergio Chacon, Zeinab Kazemi, Chaitanya Belwal (just graduated) MS students Daxiao Liu, Yuanfeng Wen (just graduated), Fang Liu (just graduated) Undergraduate students (NSF-REU) Mozahid Haque, Kaleb Christoffersen, Dylan Thompson (just completed), James Hyatt (just completed) Visiting Scholars Yu Jiang, Heilongjiang University, Harbin, China; Qiang Zhou (arriving in November 2013), Beihang University, Beijing, China Yu Li (Best Junior PhD Student Awardee and Friends of NSM Graduate Fellow) and Prof. Albert Cheng visit the NSF-sponsored Arecibo Observatory (world's largest and most sensitive radiotelescope) in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, after their presentation at the flagship RTSS 2012. Real-time systems research group at Yuanfeng Wen's graduation party in May 2013.
An Embedded System or Real- Time System Real-time system Produces correct results in a timely manner. Embedded system computer hardware and software embedded as part of a complete device or machine to perform one or more dedicated functions; often with real-time requirements. Examples: automotive control, avionics, medical systems, autonomous spacecrafts, industrial process control, mobile devices, and more.
Motivations and Applications: Automotive Control, Avionics, Medical Systems, and Many Embedded Systems
More Applications: Oil Exploration and Production
Control Systems: Old and New Old: Entire control process is done by mechanical hardware, governed by the mathematics of feedback control. Examples: Mastered cam grinder, Watt governor, Pneumatic process controller. New: Advances in electronics and computer systems lead to energetically isolate components of a controlled mechanical system. Masterless cam grinder, Digital oil production control of pump systems, Fly- by-wire airplane, Drive-by-wire automobile.
Components of a Modern Control and Monitoring System Target System Under Control: Chemical/Fluid, Electrical, Mechanical, Thermal Decision and Control System: Computer Hardware, Software, Electronics Actuation: Energy conversion, Power modulation User Interface Networking and Communication Monitor/Instruments: Signal processing, Energy conversion DT A M UI N Other Components User(s)/Operator(s)
Cyber-Physical System (CPS) Tight conjoining of and coordination between computational and physical resources. Significantly enhance the adaptability, autonomy, efficiency, functionality, reliability, safety, and usability of current control systems. Example: An aerospace CPS will respond more quickly (e.g., automatic aircraft collision avoidance), are more precise (e.g., multiple landings in small airports), work in inaccessible environments (e.g., autonomous space exploration), provide large-scale, distributed coordination (e.g., automated air traffic control), are highly efficient (e.g., long-duration space travel), and augment human capabilities (e.g., tele- robotics).

Power-aware real-time scheduling Minimize the energy consumption Power-aware scheduling for multiple feasible interval jobs. Satisfy the real-time constraints. Real-time Task Assignment on Rechargeable Multiprocessor System. Reducing energy consumption in portable display devices
Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS) Technique for Real-Time Task CPU's energy/power consumption is a convex function of the CPU's speed, e.g. P = CV 2 f -> P = s 3. Slowing down CPU's speed reduces the energy usage for CPU. Saving energy consumption V.S. Meeting deadline. Reducing the CPU's speed as much as possible while meeting every task's deadline. A minimum constant speed is always an optimal solution (if possible). If more than one speed are needed, a "smooth" selection is better. For regular single instance real-time jobs with only one feasible interval, Yao designed an algorithm for computing the optimal solution.

Considering power consumption for leakage current As VLSI technology marches towards deep submicron and nanoscale circuits operating at multi-GHz frequencies, the rapidly elevated leakage power dissipation will soon become comparable to, if not exceeding, the dynamic power consumption: P leak = I leak V P = P dyn + P leak A critical speed s* = s where P(s) = P'(s)s Shut down the CPU when it is idle. Shut-down overhead.
Real-time Task Assignment in Rechargeable Multiprocessor Systems Scheduling of frame-based real-time tasks in partitioning schemes for multiprocessor systems powered by rechargeable batteries. In frame-based real-time systems, a set of tasks must execute in a frame, and the whole frame is repeated. This system model is widely used in real-time communication, real-time imaging and a lot of other real- time/embedded systems, including medical systems. The problem for uniprocessor system has been studied in [Allavena and Mosse 2001], in which an algorithm of complexity O(N) was proposed for determining the feasibility of a task set. However, doing so in a rechargeable multiprocessor system is NP-Hard [Lin and Cheng 2008]. We propose heuristic and approximation algorithms. Simulation results have shown that our algorithms exhibit very good behavior. Figure: Algorithm for rechargeable single processor [Allavena and Mosse 2001]
Real-time Task Assignment in Heterogeneous Distributed Systems with Rechargeable Batteries Our techniques to solve the problem are based on four heuristics, namely Minimum Schedule Length (MSL), Min-min Schedule Length (MmSL), Genetic Algorithm (GA), and Ant Colony Optimization (ACO). While the modifications of the MSL, MmSL and GA approaches from their original implementation are somewhat straight-forward, we design a novel structure using ACO. Performance comparisons of these four techniques are performed and the results are discussed in [Lin and Cheng 2009].

I'm in a "Roads" mood.
This is still, after more than 12 years, my favorite song. Even now, when I'm listening to my iTunes and I hear the first couple of bars, I get goosebumps. I don't know why this song hits me so powerfully, but damn it hits home. It could easily be the anthem for my life.
Portishead, and Beth, completely rock my world. If you want to come over to my house for a jam session, this is almost always on the set list.
Here it is, set to scenes from "Equilibrium".
TK, can you tell me why you like that movie? I tried to like it, but just couldn't do it.
Irreverent Woman + Honesty - Bullshit = Shocking Wisdom...and other NSFLife Viewpoints
2 comments:
aaHA! I knew it was either you or TK. You know, I watched that movie with my manpiece, and honestly, I thought it was a pile of dung, aside from Bale. I just couldn't relate to any of the characters, and his transformation was way too subtle for me. I guess I'm just a bright flashing lights kind of girl.

These cookies were so fun to make. I printed the batman logo and then traced the bat with an edible marker on to each individual cookie and then iced it. There were a few steps involved, but I love the precise look in the end. Freehanding this would have given me a headache! They are for a wonderful repeat customer. I did his bowling cookies last year!
Happy Birthday Gavin!

I tried this easy chocolate cookie recipe today, since I was short on time but was having a strong cookie baking craving. Straight from Sugarbelle's latest post these are seriously easy, quick and delicious. Plus, I love the flavor resemblence to cupcakes. It could almost be a cupcake cookie. One thing I did notice is that if you overbake or underbake there is a big difference. My first batch was very moist and chewy and the second batch I cooked a couple minutes longer and it turned out very light, slightly crunchy. Delicious either way.

Valentines are coming!
I had MLK day off and was able to do some sketching and baking! I'm loving robots lately, so I made some robot valentines. I think they are almost too cute to eat! I found a lot of inspiration on Pinterest. Wow, does that site make it so much easier to find ideas, inspiration and be creative! So here is some valentines love, a few weeks early.

Download these three files and put them in the root of your sdcard.(you must have adb on your computer) File 1 : Download (rename to "update.zip") File 2 : Download File 3 : Download(Handler 1.5) Step 1 : Boot into stock recovery(Camera+Power then select down)(press Alt + L to see options)and flash file one. Step 2 : Load up adb when the computer recognizes it type : Step 3: Pull the battery and then reinsert it and go into your new custom recovery.(Camera+Power) Step 4: Wipe and then flash the second update. BIG THANKS TO DUXMAN Original Thread
hey i was rooting my moto cliq your way and everything was going smoot but then when i when i go to command prompt and write that it doesnt do anything on my phone it says something about usage and partitioning so i never get passed that! please i really need help!
can you be more specific? what EXACTLY does it say in terminal? also, check for the obvious first, make sure the recovery file is named "recovery.img) and that it is on the ROOT of your sd card (not in any folders or subfolders, just click and drag onto SD card)....if this is obvious to you, please do not take offense, but you always have to rule out the most simple solutions first........once these things are done and it still doesnt work, please let us know exactly, in quotes, what it says in terminal once you type in that command, so we can better help you.
Honestly i dont understand any of this shii How do i root my moto cliq in the simplest way... like how do i know if the adb is on my computer?
there arent multiple ways of doing it, this is how you do it, tis is how everyone does it. you have to be patient and willing to follow instructions carefully or you will mess it up. after you install SDK drivers and adb, or you think you have, plug your phone into your computer's USB. do not turn on the USB drive on your phone, just plug it in and put it down. open the command prompt on your computer and type in the following commands: cd\ [press enter] cd AndroidSDK\tools\ [press enter] adb devices [press enter] wait a few seconds and your phone's serial number should appear, which signifies that ADB is successfuly picking up your phone. if it does not appear then something did not go right in installation and setup. just follow the instructions. if you are having trouble with the driver instructions on this guide then you can try this tutuorial: How To: Root the Motorola CLIQ (Updated 04.09.10) | TheUnlockr it has videos to go along with each step
hey ive been repeating this process over and over, but i cant seem to get past the 3rd step. my recovery.img is not flashing (i think). it always takes me to the triangle and exclamation screen. any ideas. does it have something to do with my adb shell command? my inputs are: cd\ cd AndroidSDK\tools\ adb shell # flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img usage: flash_image partition file.img
i should also mention that since # flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img does not work! i switch it up and use: flash_image recovery/sdcard/recovery.img flash_image /sdcard/recovery.img both of which do not get errors. also should i register my motoblur account, or does it not matter?
OK, I have no idea how to do that. What is the second update and how do I flash it? I really appreciate this guide and I don't mean to be obtuse. If the answer to my question is obvious then I apologize. I believe I have gotten through the other steps. I am just waiting on this one now.
make sure the recovery image you are trying to flash is actually named "recovery.img" the name of the file and the name you type in ADB have to match exactly
the second update is file#3, the actualy ROM. you flash it from the recovery. once the .zip is on the root of your sd card, go to recovery, and there will be a "flash" option. select that and then select handlers ROM
For anyone who got stuck doing the image_flash command, I referred to this video. YouTube - How To Root The Motorola Cliq It helped me alot.
The fastest and safest way to root is with SuperOneClick from XDA. Just plug your phone in and click root and it will take care of the rest. You will still need to flash a recovery but that is easy too with droid explorer. [APP]SuperOneClick v1.5.5 (Root, Unroot, Enable Non-Market App, Get UNLOCK code) - xda-developers de - Release: Droid Explorer 0.8.7.2 Beta
i'm about to get started on this. are there any special instructions for using a mac? thanks for this forum! update: scottmog is correct, downloads 2 and 3 are not working. well, not for me, at least.

KELLER; Arnold | July 29, 2010 |
An intervertebral prosthesis, in particular for the cervical spine, has two attachment plates connected in an articulated manner. The attachment surfaces of the attachment plates, which are configured for attachment to adjacent vertebral bodies have a base surface configured to bear on the surface of the vertebral bodies, and self-tapping fixing projections rising from the base surface. These fixing projections are formed by at least one pair of ribs which extend in opposite directions obliquely with respect to a predetermined implantation direction and whose side faces oriented more away from the implantation direction are steeper than their side faces oriented more in the implantation direction. The ribs can be toothed.

Something big is about to happen to the bitcoin price, and it could send bitcoin prices through the roof.
You see, this digital currency has a unique monetary policy. Bitcoins are created roughly every 10 minutes, but there can only ever be 21 million of them. The rate at which bitcoins are created will drop by half every four years until all 21 million bitcoins are in circulation.
Last time the halving event happened was in November 2012, when the price of a bitcoin was around $12.00.
Since then, the bitcoin price skyrocketed. At $473.80 apiece, the price of a bitcoin has increased by 3,950%!
The next halving event is expected to happen in less than two months. This could spark a new rally in bitcoin prices.
However, there is a major concern about the event. For the Bitcoin system to function, it relies on a group known as miners to keep processing the transactions. What is the incentive for miners? They get the new bitcoins created every 10 minutes.
Now, if the number of newly created bitcoins drops by half, miners would get fewer rewards unless the price of bitcoins doubled immediately.
Should you worry about the

Huge magma find under supervolcano
Scientists have spied a vast reservoir of hot, partly-molten rock beneath the supervolcano at Yellowstone National Park that is big enough to fill the Grand Canyon 11 times over.
The newly-discovered magma chamber, located up to 28 miles underground, is four times bigger than the previously known chamber above it, according to imaging by researchers at the University of Utah.
The discovery fills a missing link in Yellowstone's volcanic plumbing system. But scientists say it does not increase the risk of an eruption, which is estimated to happen every 700,000 years.
Researchers now think hot and semi-molten rock is carried upward from 40 miles beneath the surface to the newly-found reservoir and the chamber above it.
Yellowstone, which spans parts of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho, is among the world's largest supervolcanoes, with frequent earthquakes.
The park attracts millions of tourists with its geysers, hot springs and bubbling mud pots. The upper magma chamber powers Yellowstone's geysers and was responsible for three ancient volcanic eruptions that coated much of North America in ash.
Scientists mapped the new reservoir by doing the geological equivalent of a CT scan - studying how seismic waves pass through different types of rocks.
Their findings were published in yesterday's edition of Science.

Art PreviewSucculent LoveA painter's prickly obsessionEason Eige has been painting the same subject for six years. Like many artists, he has expressed his fascination with, and perception of, his muse in series after series. But what makes Eige a bit different from the others is that his model isn't a person. It's a cactus. Specifically, it's the prickly pear growing in front of San Felipe de Neri, the church in Old Town's plaza. When the Alibi called to learn more about The Black Series, his upcoming show at the Bright Rain Gallery, Eige was at home, working on a painting he started in front of the church the day before. Book ReviewMining Trauma for RichesPulitzer winner writes sadness-soaked memoirThoughts Without CigarettesOscar Hijuelos is known primarily for his novel Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love, with which he became the first Latino author to win the Pulitzer Prize in fiction.
