- Description
Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens - First Order Heavy Gunner Stormtrooper 1/6th Scale Hot Toys Action Figure
Thirty years after the Battle of Endor, the Empire has morphed into a junta known as The First Order, while X-Wing pilots now fly for a splinter group known as the Resistance. New heroes awaken to set order in the force, and many old faces return to guide their way.
The foot soldiers of the First Order, the Stormtroopers are faceless enforcers who have been equipped with new armour, weapons and equipment to accomplish their goal.
This highly accurate collectible figure has been specially crafted based on the image of the First Order Heavy Gunner Stormtroopers in Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Unleashed. Standing approximately 33cm tall with over 30 points of articulation, this figure features a newly designed First Order armour and helmet and comes equipped with a heavy artillery vest, a highly detailed and articulated megablaster and blaster pistol.
Also included are seven interchangeable gloved hands and a First Order emblem hexagonal figure stand with nameplate.

'Our Own Little Valentine's Day': Ambassador Sarah's Wedding Story
Just in time for Valentine's Day, your favorite lovebirds are back – 2012 Ambassador Sarah and her honey Patrick. You remember how it all began, almost 10 years ago – boy meets girl, girl fights cancer with boy by her side, boy pops the question. Now read on for the happiest of happy endings.
Photos courtesy of Chelsie Darling Photography
Patrick and I tied the knot on October 29, 2016. It started like any other good day, with Starbucks and reflection.
I kept thinking, 'I am about to marry the man who had loved me through it all — through long distances, relapse, transplant, recovery, and finishing my degree. He has never failed to love me.'
I had no fears about our marriage standing the test of time, because we had already been through so much together. Our wedding day had been more than nine years in the making – and what a day it was!
Meet Abby
Abby was first diagnosed with Ph+ ALL, a rare and aggressive type of leukemia, in February 2011. Soon, Abby was on a unique combination chemotherapy treatment available to her because of St. Baldrick's-funded research.
'Our Miracle': An Update on Abby
Over the summer, Abby's dad shared some news with us: Abby was still cancer free, but her organs were failing. The doctors told her she had 48 hours to live. But Abby disagreed, and four months later, Abby's mom wants us to know that Abby is still here — and she's been busy!
Abby and her mom on the beach in the spring. Abby underwent a bone marrow transplant for relapsed Ph+ acute lymphoblastic leukemia in January 2015 and has been battling complications ever since.
It's been four months since we brought Abby home.
We brought our baby home because the doctors truly believed that Abby was beyond saving and it was time for end-of-life care. All of the signs were there. To all of the health care professionals from many hospitals and specialties, Abby's body was failing and we were doing more to her than for her.
'We Fight On': An Update on Abby
Last month, we shared a glimpse into Abby's life after a bone marrow transplant and the complications brought on by the very treatments that saved her life. Although cancer free, some of her organs are beyond repair. But even through these difficult days, Abby's spirit remains strong. Her dad shares this update.
Abby with her family.
Thursday morning before work, Abby's doctors called.
On the line were two of her transplant doctors, some intensive care specialists, a social worker, and a quality of life doctor. They suggested I come back to the hospital to be with Abby and her mom, although there was nothing emergent.
Abby is sick, they said.
'She's a Fighter': Abby Stays Strong After Her Bone Marrow Transplant [VIDEO]
Today is National Cancer Survivors Day, and we're bringing you an update on one incredible 9-year-old: Abby. (You might remember her from this video.) Abby's cancer free today, but for the past year, she's been battling complications of the bone marrow transplant that saved her life.
Watch the new video to see why cancer free doesn't mean trouble free.
Sarah's Shave for Abby [VIDEO]
Last month, 2012 Ambassador Sarah told us how excited she was for her upcoming shave. We were, too — so we filmed it!
When Sarah Swaim says that she knows what kids with cancer are going through, it's true.
That's because the three-time shavee is also a two-time childhood cancer survivor.
Third Time's the Charm: Sarah Gets Ready to Go Bald Again
It's been over three years since 2012 Ambassador Sarah has seen herself bald. She's breaking that streak on Saturday to be a shavee℠ for the third time. As a childhood cancer survivor, Sarah writes about what bravery looks like to her and what makes shaving so special this time.
Sarah (left) smiles with Honored Kid Abby at Camp Fantastic in 2015.
I'm often asked if I'm nervous about my upcoming shave.
I can honestly say I'm not at all. After all, this will be my third time shaving my head for the St. Baldrick's Foundation!
The usual response I get is, "You're so brave." But I don't see myself as the brave one.
Divided, Yet Never So United: Our Family's Continuing Journey With Childhood Cancer
Today Abby turns 9, and for the second year in a row, she's celebrating her birthday in the hospital. Her mom, Patty, reflects on the past year and all the challenges their family has weathered together, from relapse to transplant to today.
Abby last November, two months after her relapse.
Looking back at where we have been, the many states of mind and motions we have experienced … it's enough to make my head spin.
An Update on Abby [PHOTO ESSAY]
At this time last year, one of our Honored Kids had a new lease on life. (You may remember her from this adorable video.)
At age 4, Abby was diagnosed with an aggressive childhood cancer called Ph+ acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Thanks to research funded by St. Baldrick's, she went into remission.
But this fall, Abby's cancer returned. She's having a bone marrow transplant today.
Here's an update on Abby.
This summer, Abby completed a kids triathlon.
Life After Chemo: Hope, Faith, and Big Steps
After Abby completed treatment for childhood cancer, her mom had to adjust to a new "normal."
What do we do now?
Abby was diagnosed with Ph+ acute lymphoblastic leukemia, an aggressive form of childhood cancer, when she was 4.
After doing that daily — along with a whole host of different treatments — for the last 32 months, it's scary to stop.
We are extremely thankful for what we have and that we still have Abby here with us. But to say that we are celebrating every day isn't true. At times I find myself holding my breath and waiting.
Every time I hear her coughing or complaining of something, my mind goes all over the place. For the past almost-three years, it's never been just a cold; it was usually pneumonia. It never was just a tummy ache; it was C. diff, rotavirus, typhlitis, you name it. And now, without the safety net of chemo, is it the dreaded "R-word" — relapse?

My understanding is that it basically changes the proportions of your body and if you gain weight, the fat will manifest in other parts of your body. Is it a similar principal with losing weight afterward? If you have it done to your inner thighs, for example, it is possible to still lose additional inches from your inner thighs in the future as a result of diet and exercise? Or is there only so much fat your body will let you shed from any particular area?
Doctor Answers 3
Coolsculpting is a wonderful tool and allows you to lose approximately 20% of fat in a given area that is treated. However, it does not preclude you from either gaining more weight everywhere or losing additional weight if you continue to diet and exercise.
Web reference: http://www.michelegreenmd.com/coolsculpting-nyc
CoolSculpting does reduce the percentage of fat cells in the treated area, but there still will be some remaining fat cells present in that same area. If a significant amount of weight is gained, the entire body will show it, including the treated area because the remaining fat can still enlarge. If weight is lost, the entire body will show that as well, as the fat in the treated area can reduce also.
Having coolsculpting done on an area does not mean that you cannot lose additional fat from that area through weight loss. Coolsculpting only reduces 15-25% of fat in the treatment area. If you diet and exercise you can shed additional fat.

SIX VOICES by documentary filmmaker Gabriela Bulisova highlights the lives of people currently involved with the U.S. criminal justice system:
Kiya is growing up largely without her father, a man serving a long sentence. She's been in the foster care system for most of her life.
Adan has had run-ins with the police, dropped out of school, lived on the streets, and engaged in illegal activities. But now, with the help of Latino service organization Congreso de Latinos Unidos, he has earned his GED, enrolled in college, and speaks of his hopes for the future.
Phil is serving life without the possibility of parole. He runs a restorative justice program called "Let's Circle Up" inside his maximum-security prison.
Pennsylvania Secretary of Corrections John Wetzel sees the need for prisons and incarceration to keep society safe, but he speaks passionately about his concern for the men and women under his care, and about their prospects upon release.
Dawan is a model of successful reentry after 10 years of incarceration, having landed a job, become a full-time father to his children, and a vocal advocate for strengthening families.
Jesse Krimes, an artist and outspoken critic of mass incarceration, made art while in prison and then blossomed upon release.

Is Grover Finally Over? (Bruni | NYT)By FRANK BRUNI Published: November 26, 2012 Comment I once took a long train ride with Grover Norquist. This wasnt intentional. We found ourselves next to each other on the line to board an Acela from Washington, D.C., to New York, and we fell into a conversation, by which I mean that he did a great deal of talking, in that faintly maniacal way of his, while I presented a captive audience. He continued to talk as we walked along the platform and was still talking as we entered the train, so it was more or less unavoidable that we sit together. Besides which, I was genuinely fascinated, which is a very different adjective from amused ... Someday someone will write a dark history a farce, really of how he managed to bring nearly all of the Republican Party to heel, compelling legislator upon legislator to lash themselves to his no-new-taxes pledge. Until then well have to content ourselves with his misfortune over the last few days. No sooner had a nation digested its turkey than his goose began to be cooked. The spreading rebellion in the Republican ranks was manifest on the post-Thanksgiving Sunday talk shows ... Theres no place for absolutists and absolutism in a democracy, which is designed for give-and-take, for compromise. Thats one of the lessons of Lincoln, which moviegoers are thronging to and intellectuals are swooning for precisely because it illuminates and validates the intrinsic and purposeful messiness of our system. It exalts flexibility. It venerates pragmatism ... http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/27/opinion/bruni-is-grover-norquists-hold-on-congress-finally-over.html?_r=0

3. The eclipsing of Nordquist's influence on the GOP is not going to change their policies.
They are making him the scapegoat for their party's years of opposition to equality and fair economic treatment, and to destroy the social safety net and disempower government.
That is still the goal. Don't be fooled, anymore than just going after ALEC has made the Koch brothers disappear. The GOP are now making a media performance, acting as if they are giving us something by going against Nordquist. They are only playing at being moderate, willing to raise taxes in ocrder to get a trade off to eviscerate Social Secuirty, Medicare and Medicaid. They are also doing this in every state that they control. Don't take comfort in this man's alleged fall. Keep your eyes on the prize, moving forward to take care of all our citizens. This particlar albatross is just the one with name recognition. Ryan, Cantor and the rest of the Republicans are still in D.C. and planning trouble. |

Tomorrow I will be heading off towards the mountains and my holidays will hopefully be very restful but as there is no Internet in our tiny mountain village there is little chance to get into Jigidi which means I'll get a bit more time for creating puzzles. I'm really looking forward to it. :))
A very merry Christmas to you and your family Dagmar, and a wonderful happy healthy new year!! This was so cute, you really do have quite a talent for unique drawings :)And thank you for your marvellous puzzles, which provide us with many hours of fun!!I wish you a wonderful, restfull holiday :D

Honors students study abroad.
Their community service extended all the way to New Orleans to help Hurricane Katrina victims.
Ice cream socials, BBQs, teas, and film series evenings bring them together.
What is the Honors College?
The Honors College is a unique entity at WSU that offers a liberal arts education within the larger research environment of the university. The Honors program and professors deliver a rigorous academic experience that can open doors to the most prestigious graduate and professional programs and careers nationwide. Honors requirements meet the general requirements for graduation and take about the same amount of time to complete. (top)
What are Honors College students like?
They are high-achieving scholars from many backgrounds and ethnicities who enjoy new ideas and challenges. They have fun with their classmates and professors, and debate new ideas. They think critically and communicate well in oral and written presentations. They want to make an impact on their global as well as their local, state, and national communities. They are PAC-12 athletes, leaders in clubs and organizations, teammates on projects, and mentors to other students. (top)
Is there a grade point requirement to be an Honors student?
Honors students must maintain a 3.2 cumulative GPA. (top)
Is the Honors College available only to certain majors?
Incoming freshmen, current WSU students, transfer students, and international students — from every major — are eligible to be in the Honors College. There are engineers and scientists as well as musicians and creative writers. Honors advisors work closely with academic advisors in every academic college so students stay on track to meet requirements in a timely, successful manner. (top)
I have already earned credits toward a college degree. Will these be accepted by the Honors College?
WSU accepts Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, and Running Start credits for courses completed in high school when they are approved by the WSU Admissions Office. The Honors College gives credit for science and math for certain majors. (top)
Does it cost more to be in the Honors College?
There is no additional cost involved with being in the Honors College. (top)
I'm interested in studying abroad during my college years. Can I do that and still be in the Honors College?
Definitely! In fact, about 30 percent of all Honors College students study abroad at least once during their baccalaureate program. Honors offers faculty-led programs each summer, and works closely with WSU's International Programs office to find great opportunities around the globe for every interested student. (top)
Do I have to do a thesis project to graduate?
All Honors students have the opportunity to research an academic question of importance to them, write up their analysis and conclusions, and orally present their work to Honors College faculty members. (top)
Many research and communication skills are developed in the thesis project–valuable assets whether the student plans on going to graduate school or entering the working world. Theses showcase academic work, interests, and talents. They allow students to work closely with a world-class faculty member. Many alumni report that their thesis project was one of the most valuable undergraduate experiences at college. (top)
How is my Honors work acknowledged at graduation?
Graduation through the Honors College will be noted on your final transcript and can be a deciding factor in future employment or graduate school opportunities. Graduating Honors seniors and their families are invited to special ceremonies at commencement. Special awards for outstanding achievements are awarded there. (top)
Will I live in Honors (Residence) Hall?
Many of the students in Honors Hall are in the Honors College program. WSU requires all freshmen to live in an approved residence life arrangement on campus. Residence hall assignments are made on a "first come, first served" basis. The sooner you apply to the university and return your residence hall request form to WSU, the better your chances of being selected to live in Honors Hall. (top)
Is foreign language study required?
No, however, the Honors College promotes developing a strong global cultural competency and requires demonstrated proficiency in a second language in order to graduate. Many incoming students are able to do this without taking a foreign language class at WSU. Developing proficiency in a language in addition to English is key to success, regardless of your post-baccalaureate plans. WSU offers a wide variety of languages, and many students choose one that will be helpful in their future studies and career. It is worth noting that often, students who have already demonstrated proficiency in one language, will take courses in another language. (top)
I'm already a college student. Can I still apply to Honors?
Although the typical Honors College student enters directly from high school, applications are also accepted from current college students. The Honors College curriculum is one avenue to complete the general requirements for graduation, so students who have completed most of their GERs — typically juniors — may decide it is not in their best interest to apply to Honors. Those considering Honors should discuss their options with an Honors advisor. (top)

Graham H. Godfrey (born August 9, 1984) is a former professional baseball player. He has played for the Oakland Athletics in Major League Baseball.
Godfrey attended Memorial High School in Houston, Texas and College of Charleston.[1]
Godfrey was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 34th round of the 2006 Major League Baseball Draft. He played for the Class-A Lansing Lugnuts in 2007.
Following the 2007 season, Godfrey was traded to the Oakland Athletics with Kristian Bell for Marco Scutaro.[2]
Godfrey was promoted to the major leagues to make his major league debut on June 10, 2011 against the Chicago White Sox.[3]
In his debut, Godfrey pitched 4.1 innings giving up nine hits and five runs, walking two and striking out two, earning the no-decision in the eventual 7-5 win. Godfrey's first major league strikeout was of Gordon Beckham. The game was also interim manager Bob Melvin's first win with the Oakland Athletics[4]
Godfrey fared much better in his second major league start on June 17. Facing the defending World Series champion San Francisco Giants in front of a sold out crowd in Oakland, Godfrey picked up his first Major League win, going 7 innings, allowing six hits and two runs (one earned) while striking out three and walking none.
On December 7, 2012, Godfrey was traded to the Red Sox as the player to be named later in a previous deal.[5]
On May 31, 2013, Godfrey was once again traded, this time to the Pittsburgh Pirates.[6]
On August 3, 2014, Godfrey signed a minor league contract with the Arizona Diamondbacks. On November 4, 2014 he was granted free agency.[7]

This guest post is from Leigh Marcos, a lover of all animals, especially cats. You can read more about how to care for your pets at the Shield My Pets website. This article is personal to me. As a cat lover, I have seen first hand what going all out to have the perfect lawn can do to your cat. In my case this was the piratic Mr. Spot. The great wanderer and mischief maker supreme. This is a summary of what Ive learned the hard way about how our lawns can affect our cats if we are not careful. How Pesticides Affect Cats In short, the fertilizers and pesticides we use on our lawns are poisonous to cats. As cats spend a large chunk of their time outdoors, this puts them at a higher risk of interacting with these toxic substances. Cats often nibble at grass and plants for medicinal reasons, but even if they do not, they step in the fertilizer and brush against plants sprayed with pesticides then they lick their fur and their paws while cleaning themselves. If ingested in large enough
Conditions This Bad Not Seen In A Decade! What a summer! Drought-like conditions in July followed by rain, rain and more rain in August. Unfortunately, those are perfect conditions for infectious lawn diseases. Honestly, we havent seen this type of disease-favorable weather in 10 years! Think of it as the perfect storm for lawn disease. Diseases like brown patch, dollar spot, Pythium blight, leaf spot diseases and the appearance of symptoms of summer patch and necrotic ring spot. While temperature and moisture can bring on these diseases, there are other factors that take over once the disease becomes established. Also, some grasses are more affected than others by lawn disease...but all lawns are affected... Kentucky Bluegrass * Less prone to brown patch, dollar spot, gray leaf spot and Pythium blight * Very susceptible to root diseases such as necrotic ring spot and summer patch * Can tolerate some infection * During periods like is past summer, infection-impaired plants cannot
Theyre baaaack! This year, cicada bugs (a.k.a. 17-year locusts) will emerge in Northeast Ohio. Cicadas live almost all of their 17 year life underground before emerging. When they emerge, cicada nymphs climb trees, shed their skin and fly. The one goal of the flying adult cicada is to mate and produce more cicadas. The good news is that these adult cicadas will live only four to six weeks (males die shortly after mating). But its going to be a noisy four to six weeks. From sunrise to sunset we will be hearing the high pitched and shrill mating song of the males. Where a lot of these insects are present their singing can be quite annoying. Because so many of them (think millions) will descend on us all at once, they can harm your young trees and shrubs. When the female lays her eggs, she looks for the small branches of deciduous trees (not pine trees). This applies to trees like Apple, Cherry, Dogwood, Japanese Maple, Hickory, Oak, Maple, Ash, Holly, Willow, etc. They will even plant
What is Aeration? More often than not when people have aeration in mind, it is the kind where a machine is used to poke holes in the ground or pull soil-core plugs out of the ground. There are more ways than one to aerate the soil though and, believe it or not, the molehill you may detest so much is actually a sign nature is aerating your lawn for free! Why Your Lawn May Need Aeration? - The soil in your yard is compacted. - Pools of water can be found in spots or all over the lawn after irrigation or rainfall. - Water retention is low and it seems like most of the water is just running straight off when you try to water the lawn. - There are many worn areas in your lawn, maybe where there is high foot traffic. - Your lawn has a lot of thatch built up. No reason: aerating once annually even if you have none of these problems is seeing as air is just as vital for the soil and your lawns root *system as it is for you and me! Proper coring also leaves the plugs on the lawn (little
Spring is here and youre wondering what to do with the lawn? Should you hire a Traditional Lawn care company? Hire a Natural Lawn Care Company? Hire an Organic Lawn Care Company? Or, should you just buy lawn fertilizer and treat the lawn yourself? What is the difference between a Natural Lawn Care Company and an Organic Lawn Care Company? Well do the best we can to answer these questions in the blog post below. What is Traditional Lawn Care? When we talk about traditional lawn care, were referring to a program that uses synthetic fertilizers to feed the grass and then uses synthetic pesticides to treat insects, diseases, weeds, and other issues that come up. These synthetic fertilizers and pesticides became popular after World War II and havent been in existence for very long in human history, but long enough to become traditional. Synthetic fertilizers contain water soluble nutrient salts in a form that the plants can readily absorb. The benefit of a water soluble lawn fertilizer
If youre going to the store trying to decide what is the best organic lawn fertilizer this season, one of the organic product lines youll run into is Espoma Espoma has been around a long time and have been authentically involved in producing organic fertilizers since before it became a hot field. Some of their products are bridge or organic based lawn fertilizers and not truly organic, but they do offer truly organic lawn fertilizers as well. Espoma Organic Lawn Food is a 9-0-0 analysis and is designed for use on your lawn at any time of the year. If youre going to use Espoma Organic Lawn Food, youll probably want to do 4 treatments per year using 5-10 lbs per thousand square feet with each treatment. In the Midwest, you can follow the Easter, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving schedule of applications. Id put down the heavier rate on Easter and Labor Day while leaning towards the lower rate on Memorial Day and Thanksgiving. Espoma Organic Lawn Food is made from 2 organic fertilizer
Its true. With our warmer than normal winter, mice and moles have been very active...above and below ground. With our recent thaw, you might have seen evidence of tunnels in your yard from field mice and moles burrowing under the snow. In fact, many of them will breed during this time of year, which means more of these critters in the spring. So why do moles and mice burrow on your property? Theres food nearby. If you have an abundance of insects in your soil, the mice and moles are more likely to stay put. You may have sandy or soft soil around your yard or foundation. They can still burrow below the snow and get underground. But, with our milder winter, the ground did not freeze very far down. Your neighbor made his property unfriendly to these critters The good news is that they can help create a healthy yard by aerating your lawn and getting rid of many pests in the ground. But, if you want them gone, heres a few things you can do: They dont like to locate where the lawn is
Winter can be an ideal time to prune most tree and shrubs Correct pruning is a landscape practice that can enhance the health, vigor and aesthetics of your trees and shrubs. Below are Five advantages to pruning in the winter: 1. During the winter, most woody plants are dormant and so are the many diseases and insects that can potentially invade pruning cuts. 2. After leaves have fallen, it is much easier to see the plants overall form and structure. Damaged and diseased branches are more readily apparent when not obscured by foliage. 3. Pruning in the late summer or early fall can stimulate new growth that may not harden off before the cold weather. This is not a concern during the winter. 4. Winter pruning is good for your plants, leaving them with extra root and energy reserves to quickly heal wounds and support vigorous spring growth that will obscure the pruning cuts. 5. Winter pruning is also good for you, giving you a reason to go outside on a mild winter day to enjoy your

You can supplement our applications if you wish with this all natural product. Burnout Organic Grass and Weed Killer - If you'd like
Seeding Options in the late fall and early winter - Slice or Broadcast Seeding? When you think about planting grass, spring comes to mind as the best time. But, can you believe that it's not only not the best time, it isn't even the second best time. The best time to seed your lawn is in the late summer when the soil is warm and there isn't much weed competition.The second best time to seed your lawn isnt the spring though, it's the winter. That's right, it is not too late to get a jump on your new spring lawn.As long as the ground is not frozen, Good Nature can use a Slice Seeder to get those hardy seeds into the ground so they're ready to germinate come warmer spring weather. In fact, there are some benefits to Dormant Seeding in the late fall and early winter: *Winter Seedings are less reliant on watering because the soil is typically wet coming out of winter and spring rains are likely. Watering come spring however will improve the odds of a successful seeding, especially if we

HTC Sense 6 features Zoe as a standalone multimedia app, which requires you to sign in with your HTC account the first time you open it. Captured photos and videos are automatically compiled into a Zoe video highlight reel.
Creating a Zoe is easy. You simply choose from the available images and rearrange them in order you like. Themes and soundtracks are available in case you want to be truly creative. Once finished editing, you can easily share Zoes.
Zoe also allows you to collaborate with friends on the same project. You can send requests and combine your media content into the same Zoe.
Viewing images on the large display is a pleasure. The image gallery stacks photos together in albums which can be organized by the date they were captured or the source they come from. Location-based sorting is also available.
As usual, there is an array of available options at your disposal. You can edit, share, highlight, and delete images. You can also set them as backgrounds, assign them to contacts, add them to a specific album, or print them.
Viewing an image and the available options
The Video player on the HTC One has a rather simple interface. There isn't a dedicated app - you just pick a video from the gallery.
You get a Play/Pause button and a slider to scrub through the video, a button to capture images from the video, volume slider, and sharing options. All hide automatically after a few seconds.
Supported video file formats include .3gp, .3g2, .mp4, .wmv, and .avi. BoomSound is enabled by default on the video player while on speakers and cannot be turned off.
The HTC Sense 6 music player features similar layout as the one in the previous version. The flattened interface design however makes the setup look new.
Your music library is organized by Artist, Album, Songs, Playlists, Genres, Podcasts or Folders (we don't see this option very often). The phone will also easily stream songs over DLNA.
The music player can automatically look for and download Album art and artist photos (you can limit it to Wi-Fi connections only), and search for lyrics.
There's no equalizer on board. You have the option to toggle Boomsound audio on or off with the headphones on. Like we mentioned already, you cannot disable the feature when playing through the speakers.
Strangely enough only one of the HTC One (M8) units we got to play with turned out to have a built-in FM radio. The European version comes with an FM Radio receiver and an FM radio preinstalled, while the Verizon unit lacked an app. It's anyone's guess whether the hardware is still there and has been disabled (meaning that it can be unlocked with some sort of mod) or if it's gone altogether.
The HTC One (M8) audio quality is by far the best we've seen a mobile device produce so far - and that's including tablets. Even its impressive predecessor pales in comparison with the latest HTC flagship, which is not only the loudest around, but also delivers perfectly clean output.
The HTC One (M8) did perfectly in the active external amplifier part of the test, posting great scores all over the field. In addition it had volume levels higher than every other mobile device on the market right now.
More impressively, there's virtually no degradation when you plug in a pair of headphones. The stereo crosstalk rises so little that it remains better than what some smartphones deliver without headphones. The rest of the readings remain perfect too, while the volume is as high as they come. What do you know - dropping the Beats logo actually led to even more spectacular performance by the HTC flagship.
And here go the results so you can see for yourselves.
Test | Frequency response | Noise level | Dynamic range | THD | IMD + Noise | Stereo crosstalk |
HTC One (M8) | +0.04, -0.10 | -95.4 | 93.4 | 0.0012 | 0.010 | -93.2 |

Michael Loam
Michael Loam | |
Born | 1 November 1797 Ludgvan, Cornwall |
Died | 14 July 1871 Moditonham House, Botusfleming, Cornwall |
(aged 73)

Michael Loam (1 November 1797 – 14 July 1871) was a Cornish engineer who introduced the first man engine (a device to carry men up and down the shaft of a mine) into the UK.[1]
In 1834, concerned for the health of miners and for the loss in profits incurred by their long, slow climbs by ladders, the Royal Cornwall Polytechnic Society announced a prize for the design of a better system of transporting miners in and out of the deep mines in the county. Michael Loam won this prize in 1841 for his man engine, despite evidence that it was already in use in the Hartz Mountains in Germany.[2]
Inspired by the German designs and constructed of a series of moving platforms, the first man engine was installed in 1842 at Tresavean Mine—one of the deepest in Cornwall at the time.[2] Its adoption was encouraged by the mine's owner, John Rogers.
Loam was trained as an engineer at Wheal Abraham by Arthur Woolf.[3] He remained active in the metal mining and smelting industries in Cornwall and is noted as an investor in the Tamar Tin Smelting Company in 1863.[4]

AMD releases dual-core Opteron processors
AMD announced Thursday the immediate availability of its dual core Opteron processors, the first to market in the x86 server space.
In its latest effort to establish itself as a major player in the x86 server market, Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Advanced...

Micro Devices Inc. released its first batch of dual core Opteron processors Thursday, which it said will increase computing capacity without putting additional strain on power requirements.
Multi-core processors use an integrated circuit (IC) to which two or more processors have been attached for enhanced performance, reduced power consumption and more efficient simultaneous processing of multiple tasks. A dual core setup is somewhat comparable to having multiple, separate processors installed in the same computer, but because the two processors are actually plugged into the same socket, the connection between them is faster.
According to AMD, the dual-core chips, a first for the x86 space, represent anywhere from a 30% to 90% performance increase over single core counterparts. But the new processors won't cause users any additional cooling headaches because they will sit in the same thermal envelope and run on a lower frequency.
AMD's announcement comes on the heels of rival Intel Corp.'s release of a dual-core processor for the high-end desktop. Intel is reported to release a dual-core offering for the x86 market later this year and early 2006.
AMD had originally planned to launch its dual-core server offering in mid-2005, but opted to push up the date.
According to Charles King, principal analyst for Pund-IT Research in Hayward, Calif., this release is the latest indication of AMD's proactive approach toward introducing 64-bit technology in the x86 space, and its intent to put Intel on notice.
"I think it will be interesting to see how the market reacts to dual core … in a way you can measure AMD's success by how proactive Intel has been in trying to undercut it," King said. "AMD is maintaining its technology lead over what Intel is doing."
The dual-core chips will be compatible with existing single core infrastructures, and AMD said integrating the two will require nothing more than a simple BIOS flash for users operating boards 90 nanometers and up, because both the single- and dual-core chips have the same 940 pin socket.
According to the company, the dual core Opteron processor is the perfect blend of performance and density, addressing a huge concern for data center managers and high-end workstation customers -- performance per watts -- without making their existing server farms any hotter than they already are.
"Heating concerns are irrelevant because it's the same power draw," said Gina Longoria, product manager for the AMD Opteron 200 series. "The benefits of the additional core far outweigh the lower frequency of dual core. There will be a huge performance boost within the same power envelope."
According to Tony Lock, chief analyst with Bloor Research in England, because a multi-core chip is attractive to data center managers, most of the major processing suppliers are working to develop similar technology.
"They offer more processing power for less energy and less space. There will be an increase in demand for servers that make use of this architecture," Lock said. "[Offering] more processing power without the need for extra cooling, extra electricity and the costs that go with all that is a major benefit."
Dual-core processors are available immediately for three of AMD's 800 series models -- 865, 870 and 875 -- and the company will unveil dual-core processors for the 265, 270 and 275 in late May.

Lawrence Kohlberg (1927-1987) described three stages of moral development which described the process through which people learn to discriminate right from wrong and to develop increasingly sophisticated appreciations of morality. He believed that his stages were cumulative; each built off understanding and abilities gained in prior stages. According to Kohlberg, moral development is a lifelong task, and many people fail to develop the more advanced stages of moral understanding.
Kohlberg's first 'preconventional' level describes children whose understanding of morality is essentially only driven by consequences. Essentially, "might makes right" to a preconventional mind, and they worry about what is right in wrong so they don't get in trouble. Second stage 'conventional' morality describes people who act in moral ways because they believe that following the rules is the best way to promote good personal relationships and a healthy community. A conventional morality person believes it is wrong to steal not just because he doesn't want to get punished but also because he doesn't want his friends or family to be harmed. The final 'postconventional' level describes people whose view of morality transcend what the rules or laws say. Instead of just following rules without questioning them, 'postconventional' stage people determine what is moral based on a set of values or beliefs they think are right all the time. For example, during the Vietnam War, many Americans who were drafted to be soldiers opposed the war on moral grounds and fled to Canada rather than fight. Even though this behavior was against the law, these people decided that these particular laws did not follow the higher rules they believed in, and they chose to follow their higher rules instead of the law.

this was one of our urban wide storms. it came right through the metropolitan area but it doesnt seem to have hit the rural areas. a few trees have fallen and some tree limbs. there were a few accidents on the roads for those who were out driving. i am getting texts from family & friends and it looks like all are okay. the weather folks are out trying to see if there were any touchdowns.
i am 3 blocks south of a flood plain (a creek runs right through my neighborhood) so i am listening to see if we have any flood warnings. wow these things happen so fast. i heard the tornado sirens, turned on the news and had about 10 minutes before the storm, hail & rotation clouds was on top of us.

Born in Dickens on the southern outskirts of Los Angeles, the narrator of The Sellout spent his childhood as the subject in his father's racially charged psychological studies. He is told that his father's work will lead to a memoir that will solve their financial woes. But when his father is killed in a drive-by shooting, he discovers there never was a memoir. All that's left is a bill for a drive-through funeral. What's more, Dickens has literally been wiped off the map to save California from further embarrassment. Fuelled by despair, the narrator sets out to right this wrong with the most outrageous action conceivable: reinstating slavery and segregating the local high school, which lands him in the Supreme Court. In his trademark absurdist style, which has the uncanny ability to make readers want to both laugh and cry, The Sellout is an outrageous and outrageously entertaining indictment of our time.
