I updated the plugin today on 4 of my websites and I get the same problem on all of them.
This error message is showing in the recent comments widget and in the comments area in the backend. When I uncheck "Top Contributor Icon" the errors are gone again.
The error:
Warning: in_array() [function.in-array]: Wrong datatype for second argument in /home/piccaz/domains/piccaz.com/public_html/wp-content/plugins/top-contributors/functions.inc.php on line 555
Had to disable the plugin on my live sites for now, so here's a dev site where you can see the error in the right sidebar.
Thanks for this great plugin though, I've been using it for a long time and I'm sure this will be fixed somehow.

Not really started earlier but I wish I had chosen not to play soccer in college I quit after two years of playing an it was the best thing for me. I really only played in fear of upsetting my dad and if I'd not I would have chose a different school and probably been much happier
Time Keeps on Ticking…
I always enjoy learning more about bloggers whether it's their personal life, a random story or question and answer post. Though to be honest I still could care less what your favorite color is…I will probably forget two seconds after commenting.
Though the mention of swimming on this blog seems like a life time ago, there was a time where I swam and didn't run (anything before August 2010). My old lolz swimming identity was lolzthatswim…ever wonder why my email is lolzthatswim? I never changed it to fueledbylolz (at) gmail…I feel there has got to be a pretty streamline (ha) way to do this…I just don't know how and haven't looked into). Just over two years ago, I quit competitive swimming forever and made one of the best decisions at the time for me.
I swam throughout high school and I swam 3 years of college. I logged lots of swimming miles…from point A right back to point A…in a circle for hours and hours. I believe my most famous quote from swim team was (after being asked why do you like swimming the 1000)
"Because I like to start at point A go into cardiac arrest and come back to point A 20 times."
Lately I have been thinking a lot about my past life. I often get the question if I regret not running in high school or early college (instead of swimming). The answer is always no. I wouldn't trade those swimming moments for the world. I met some of my best friends swimming in high school as well as college. Women I might have met otherwise but our friendships grew strong and blossomed throughout those terrible swim practices. (I'm looking at you 10X400 IMS…or you 5X1000 timed off the blocks)…so no I don't regret not running earlier.
If we live our lives in the past and wonder what could have been, we cannot move on in the future. I don't regret not running in high school or early college because I don't think I would be enjoying it as much now if I did. If I ran and was pressured into speed workouts during college I think it would have not allowed me to develop the passion for running I have now. I would have burnt out. I know I would be exercising now but I don't think I would consider myself a serious runner.
I think for me personally it took a lot of time to realize how much I truly enjoyed running. Coming from someone who absolutely hated running in the past and nearly failed the mile several times in both middle and high school (shout out to my gym teachers who screamed at me to pass) I could not fathom that in the future I would be writing a blog about how much I enjoy running.
Who knows, in five years I might enjoy cycling. I don't like to live in the past whether it's my run life, personal life or overall life. I think we have to move upward and onward. I loved swimming and will never regret those times or friends I made but my time with that has long passed. Perhaps one day I'll get back into the pool and love it…or perhaps I never will. Only time will tell.
Question for you: Is there anything you wish you started earlier?
35 Comments on "Time Keeps on Ticking…"
Some of us are lucky to have known you through it all.
You are a true inspiration.
I regret not running in high school. Only because that is the one time in your life where you can really do the things you love with other outside distractions, well except school. No kids, No bills, No Job, No spouse. I think I could have been good at it…..but I'll never no. I don't pine away thinking the lost years, but I do wonder. Understand your position….run on! Great post by the way!
I wish I had started working out in general earlier. It took me until after college to really start and now I love it. I could have developed a lot more healthy habits early on and gotten rid of a lot of stress more easily!
Oh my do I relate to this. People frequently ask if I regret the 13 years of competitive swimming (4 hour NYE practices, Christmas Eve, 22x250s <–MURDER) since I didn't do it in college and don't do it anymore. But I think it helped build the perservering mindset that I have now. So many lessons were learned all those grueling years. How to push when you think you can't anymore, how to be a part of a team, and TIME MANAGEMENT.
I don't regret a single day. I'd do it all again, and maybe not even hang the sport up
I like what one commenter said about everything happening for a reason and the lessons you learn along the way. I think everything happens precisely as its meant to.
That being said, I wish I would have started my healthy lifestyle a bit earlier. I think I would have had better mental health, lower stress levels, and a better appreciation for life. Although, if I had done that…I would be a lot poorer! I spend a lot on races, training and of course cute workout clothes!
PS. Swimming at WBHS was great under Debbie – wasn't it?!
I used to hate on distance running like it was my job. My HS and college track coaches would fight with me trying to get me to run something a little longer. Hell to the no was my response. Part of me wishes I started distance back then to see where I would be now but at the same time part of me thinks that I came to be the runner I am because I didn't start too early.
Yep, you should start cycling … and then kick butt and take names at triathlon. Just saying. Anyway, sometimes I wish I had done track more than just my senior year of high school, but at the same time, I don't know if I'd be triathloning now. Like you wrote, I could've burned out and sworn it off. And honestly, after I stopped playing basketball, I was perfectly OK with not competing in anything ever again … clearly that changed!
I often think about this. I used to swim too in high school (while hating running) and eventually transitioned into loving running (and hating swimming). Now I kind of have an urge to get back into swimming, but I wonder what it would have been like if I ran in high school. I agree with you though, I don't think I would have enjoyed running the way I do now.

My brother visited last week, spoiling Rocco and us, and when he left Saturday afternoon, there were a few more snacks than usual in the cabinets, a giant pink box of doughnuts on the island and, also, on the counter, this pumpkin. Nashville mid-September, I'm still wearing shorts and sweating, but I see squash and pumpkins and I know it's fall. Oh, fall. I love fall. I'm so excited for it this year. Give me a pumpkin with its muted orange skin and earthy, vegetal flesh, and I'm all piles of leaves and kids trick-or-treating and getting to go for long walks with Rocco in the crisp, cool air. There's so much to look forward to with October around the corner! With observing and interacting with Rocco in his fourth and fifth months of life! And roasting a pumpkin, just this simple kitchen task, gives me both the creamy, savory base for today's sauce and the reminder of other autumns I've lived with other pumpkins, of other autumns yet to come. Maybe this is the whole point of the … [Read more...]
Orange Ginger Sunshine Smoothie
When I first met the man who would become my husband, back in 2010, he was wearing a hooded sweatshirt and had kind eyes and I decided within a few short hours that I liked him very much. He drank raw milk and talked openly about the mom he'd lost and never seemed like he was trying to sell himself to me, not once. As soon as I knew I liked him, I wanted him to like me, obviously, since that's the way we humans work (although honestly I have fought years of wanting even the people I don't like to like me, because that's how the little gods of approval and affirmation keep you in their hooks). Getting him to like me meant, subconsciously, not revealing too much about how I liked him and testing him out and being careful how much I shared, always thinking about how he was seeing me and why. Looking back, I guess I was crafting a version of myself, at least on some level, the way blogs and Facebook profiles and short interactions can let us craft versions of ourselves for all the people … [Read more...]
Gingered Pear Einkorn Coffee Cake with Streusel Topping
Dear Mama Madison, I can't believe we're actually here, I'm actually writing this post, your belly is swelling bigger with every Instagram photo and every day ticks us one closer to the day little he or she arrives. I can't believe it because I'm so I'm terrible at hoping, so eager to protect myself, so always shocked by every sweetness, every joy, every pure delight God gives us. I have felt guilt about this before, about my weak faith and great fear, and I have looked ahead to parenthood counting all the ways I'll mess up because of it and because of other things I wish I didn't do. I won't believe enough. I won't say the right thing. I'll hurt my kid in a way that he never forgets and I'll regret it and it will be horrible. But then this thought comes to me that I hope comes to you: I will never be a perfect parent; you will never be a perfect parent; there is only One Perfect Parent and He not only parents us, but He'll parent our little ones, too. We don't have to get it all … [Read more...]
garlic ginger vegetarian tacos with sweet and spicy cabbage slaw
Recap of this past week: Monday morning we found out we're having a boy (!), Tuesday we found out my computer's hard drive might be broken (!), Wednesday we found out it was just the cable that goes to the hard drive (!) and today we found a fresh bin of organic fruits and vegetables delivered to our front door. That's life, isn't it, filled with surprises that delight us, discourage us and change our schedules sufficiently to remind us we're not in control, a theme I keep coming back to this year. Right now, I'm mostly feeling the blessing it is to get to see that I don't run the universe (or the way a day goes or even how happy and healthy this little guy inside me seems to be doing so far) as well as thankful for the miniature moments that surprise me in the midst of life, like a Wednesday warm enough to take off my jacket or the way nothing makes a girl feel richer than a table filled with fresh food to eat. The green bin came from the new-to-Nashville Green Bean Delivery … [Read more...]
Crispy Roasted Turmeric Potatoes
Something about hospitals always leaves me craving green juice and salads and reading articles about foods with the most nutrients, so, after a chunk of days hanging in heart hospital rooms, maybe that's why I've been all about the turmeric powder lately: turmeric tea, turmeric chicken, turmeric added to the smoothies we make as fast meals. Turmeric, in my mind, equals anti-inflammatory, and anti-inflammatory equals good for fighting everything from cancer to heart disease to auto-immune conditions. It's the curcumin, the thing in turmeric that makes it yellow, that is said to make it so powerful for digestion, immunity, joints, cholesterol and more. (The curcumin also makes turmeric a great natural yellow food coloring, albeit with a slightly bitter taste, which is why we used it in some tricolor Christmas cookies a few years ago.) Basically, I'm telling you I'm jazzed about turmeric, particularly in these crispy golden turmeric potatoes, even as I'm thinking about loved ones who are … [Read more...]
Green Healing Soup
Tim and I were both a little under the weather this past week, something I always forget how much I hate until it happens. This was the first time we've ever had colds together, at least anything that didn't go away in a day, and whether it was holiday traveling, my weaker pregnant immune system or just a trickier virus that caused it, we've been using every natural remedy possible to knock it out fast. Case in point: this green-loaded, hearty, healing puréed soup. When Tim first told me everything that was going into it, I braced myself for the kind of soup I'd have to hold my nose to eat (kind of like this crazy powerful immunity booster that, yes, I also took sometime on Tuesday), so when I sipped the first bite and met instead ginger, cumin and a slight kick of heat, I was thrilled. We had it for dinner several nights in a row until the entire pot was gone, and then today we whipped up a fresh batch so I could share it with you. Hey, Hey, PS! If you're going to be in … [Read more...]
Blueberry Peach Crisp from Vibrant Food
It happens to me every year. Sometime about the end of June, when our CSA is in full swing and the daylight's stretching past 8 p.m., I marvel at the sweetness of the season around me, so hot and bright and full. We open our fridge and it's packed with greens. We go to the store and come home with pints of blueberries. Our coats are stuffed in the closet, far away from everyday thought, and our flip-flops are near the door, ready to be slipped on as we pop out for an afternoon walk or drive. I love summer in part because of treasures like these that it gives me: greater freedom, greater daytime, a rich color palette. But I love it most for the very fact that it is so clearly, undeniably being given to me, not being earned or created on my own. Whether or not I think about the seasons, whether or not I remember that April or May in Nashville usually means higher temps, the earth knows to switch, day by day, progressively to summer, just like it will know to switch, day by day, to fall … [Read more...]
Ginger Lavender Tonic
Special treat today: post from Tim. This ginger lavender tonic feels like such a summer drink---but hey, the days are yo-yoing around here, summer one day, winter the next. It feels like a giant tease to get a breezy and sunny 68-degree day one week and then a frigid 20s chiller the next. We are floating on the breeze and shaking in the cold. Sometimes, in thinking of warm days, we eat summer food and drink summer drinks, in hopes that it will bring those days nearer. It really works, too, at least in our minds, so I think we should keep allowing ourselves to long for and hope for different seasons with what we eat, or at least reminding ourselves of them every now and again. Our hopes and fears feel like this, too. They swell and fade on the waves of changing circumstances and situations, leaving us tied to the tides. We're pushed and pulled by disappointments and frustrations, longing for sweeter days. We're carried about by the affairs of this life. Some seasons it feels … [Read more...]

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ The Kansas House budget committee's chairman says legislators must consider revenue proposals to help solve the state's financial problems.
Rep. Kevin Yoder, an Overland Park Republican, said Monday that lawmakers might be able to pass a revenue package of about $150 million.
Yoder is not talking about a general tax increase.
Instead, he's talking about proposals from Gov. Kathleen Sebelius to suspend some planned tax cuts, divert revenues from cities and counties and tap gambling dollars.
Legislators already have approved a $13 billion budget for the state's 2010 fiscal year, which begins July 1.
But officials issued a new forecast for revenues last week. Based on that forecast, the state would end fiscal 2010 with a $328 million deficit.

Tanzania's Tax Structure

Imperatively government have to provide social services, maintain law and order, ensure defense and a horde of other undertakings which the free market cannot provide or which the state feels are better provided by itself or it's agencies.

2015/16 Tax Laws Amendments
Amendments to the Income Tax Act
Taxation of Individuals : The government aims at progressively reduce the marginal tax rate for individuals to a single digit and it does so by reducing the rate annually from 14% in 2010/11 to 11% 2015/16. There is no change made on the tax bands but the marginal tax rate has been reduced from 12 percent to 11 percent. This results in monthly tax savings of Tshs 1,900 for every individual.

Tanzanian Tax Laws
Tanzania has over 10 different Acts of parliament governing the country's taxation system. These laws are all being administered by the Tanzania Revenue Authority. Included herein below are the various Acts as updated by the respective authorities. All efforts have been made to get the most current updated version of the respective Acts and it is advised that you download and read them thoroughly in order to comprehend the country's taxation system and the respective requirements.
Tax Planning
Tax Planning is closely related to tax avoidance and evasion. Therefore a discussion on tax planning must inevitably begin from the definition and distinction between tax avoidance and evasion. As discussed earlier, tax avoidance is the legal way to minimize tax liability without contravention of the law in order to minimize tax liability. Tax planning is the art and technique of careful structuring one's future business transactions in order to realize tax savings (minimization of tax liability) but without contravention of the tax laws.

Tax Avoidance and Evasion
Introduction: The problem of tax avoidance and evasion is common in all tax systems. All tax authorities have to contend and live with the problem. While the evil practice cannot be eliminated it can only be minimized because it is planned and undertaken in secrecy by the taxpayer and sometimes with the cooperation of tax consultant and auditor. Otherwise the tax authorities would have pre-emptied any tax evasion and avoidance practices. A high degree of tax avoidance and evasion
Residence and source
Individuals - Under the Income Tax Act, whether or not you are resident in United Republic of Tanzania (URT) does not depend on residence permit or documentation, but on the following. If you meet any of the following conditions, you are a Tanzanian resident for a year of income.
(i) You have a permanent home in the URT and you are present during any part of the year of income; (ii) You are present in the URT during the year of income for a period of or periods amounting in aggregate to 183 days or more;
Introduction to Tax
A tax is a compulsory contribution from a person to the state to defray the expenses incurred in the common interest of all without any reference to the special benefits conferred. It is a compulsory contribution or payment for the support of governmental or other public purposes.
=> De Marco defines tax as "a share of the income of citizens which the state appropriates in order to procure for itself the means necessary for the production of general public services." This implies that Tax shall equal public services.

Characteristics of Tax
It is a compulsory charge. It is not a donation, or a gift to the government. It is legally imposed and non-compliance results into statutory, civil and criminal penalties. It is not a voluntary contribution.
(i) Only the government (sovereign state) has power to levy taxes. So tax differ from other charges which can be charged by even churches, clubs, political parties etc.
(ii) Both citizens and non-citizens may be liable to pay tax.
(iii) No "quid-pro-quo" relationship in taxation.
International Double Taxation
Introduction - Many countries have developed competitive investment incentive packages in order to attract both local and foreign capital. With the increasing liberalization of international trade and investment policies and cooperation among nations, the income arising from international transactions is likely to suffer international double taxation.

They include (i) Corporate tax – 30% of all companies (whether resident or none resident) carrying on a business in Tanzania. (ii) Individual Income Tax – non-corporate resident tax payers including sole proprietors
Role of Taxation
To raise revenue for financing public expenditure.
The revenue is for providing (a) public goods (i) goods with zero marginal cost i.e. no extra cost is incurred in supplying the goods to more than one person. (ii) goods that no individual can be excluded from consuming them. (iii) goods that are consumed equally by the members of the society. Example of such goods is the national defense), (b) merit goods with the aim of
General Tax Classifications
Tax can be classified according by tax base; according to tax incidence shiftability; according to unit or ad-valorem based taxes; or according to how the tax burden is distributed among the tax payers.

Principles of Taxation
Principles of Taxation are basic concepts by which a government is meant to be guided in designing and implementing an equitable taxation regime. These include:
=> Adequacy: taxes should be just-enough to generate revenue required for provision of essential public services.
=> Broad Basing: taxes should be spread over as wide as possible section of the population, or sectors of economy, to minimize the individual tax burden.

A 3D printer called The Micro, from a company called M3D, has gone absolutely nuts on Kickstarter. It has raised an astounding $2.47 million over the past four days and blew by its $50,000 target in less than 11 minutes.
This certainly isn't the first low-cost, consumer-grade 3D printer to go wild on Kickstarter. The FORM 1 raised nearly $3 million in 2012. Plus, the Buccaneer raised $1.4 million in 2013 and the the RigidBot 3D Printer raised $1.1 million in 2013, too.
So what's so special about M3D's 3D printer? M3D says it's packed a lot of innovation into a low price. While it hasn't said what it will charge consumers once it gets the printer into production, people who contributed on Kickstarter could get one for as low as a $199. There are still some available for a $299 contribution, too.
M3D is using the money to finish the prototype and set up manufacturing in the U.S., it says.
The speed at which this company got its funding is amazing.
It's the fifth-fastest Kickstarter project to date to hit a $1 million, according to researcher Statista. The Micro hit $1 million in 25 hours. That compares to game console Ouya, which hit $1 million in 8.22 hours and watch computer Pebble's 27 hours.

I'm trying to write a validation script that will validate XML against the NITF DTD, http://www.iptc.org/std/NITF/3.4/specification/dtd/nitf-3-4.dtd. Based on this post I came up with the following simple script to validate a NITF XML document. Bellow is the error message I get when the script is run, which isn't very descriptive and makes it hard to debug. Any help is appreciated.

Move the Bobcats to Seattle. Then swap a borderline western conference team to the eastern conference based on geography (Memphis? New Orleans?). Done.
The maloofs need to go! I am surprised stern is still allowing them to own a team, there are enough options out there that are a lot better than them. I think it would be best though, to have a team in Seattle and unfortunately for Kings fan's in Sacremento, they are on the short list of teams that could move there. How great would it be to have the Supersonics back in Seattle, the Hornets back in Charlotte and the maloofs out of the nba! Now if only the league stops the Hornets from commiting marketing suicide by rebranding to the Pelicans when there are much better options out there (Brass, Voodoo most notably). ESPN did a poll and there wasn't a single state that thought Pelicans is a good name. Seriously though the guy who owns the Hornets sounds like he is giving his wife too much imput. Pelicans is a joke, it is honestly like an Onion sports article headline.
Send the Kings back to their original home, Kansas City!!!

had to decline the explorer invite a few days ago due to a change from contacts to glasses...waiting for one that attaches to prescription glasses.
+Charlie Seto Today's your lucky day. Theres a real leak a few minutes ago of the prescription model. Here's the link
Scott Joniec
Finally had a chance to try a pair on today. By far exceeded my expectations. I'm not sure why but I wasn't expecting such a solid build with a great display. Also gone now is my concern that I would have eye strain from looking up to see the display. Can't wait to get my own pair and really try them out.
Are the updates for glass explorer edition free upgrades? Not sure I want to pay 1500 to update it later on when the prescription glasses edition is ready.
+Charlie Seto the v2 of glass is compatible with the perscription glasses. You buy the frames and glass detaches from these frames and attach to the ones with the lenses. If you bought Google Glasses after October 23 (i wanna say) you have v2 so they are compatible. If you bought before that Google is offering you an update to v2 (that can not be saved for another upgrade) they WANT you to use it since everything is being built with v2 in mind.
+Jeremy Shore Thanks! The Glass invite page doesn't say anything about versions, so I'm a little wary about pulling the trigger. I'm hoping Google will verify your comments.
Yesterday I ran into someone with google glass. The first time I have seen it. I spoke with the guy briefly about it. Told me how he was a developer. The went on to tell me how it DOESNT work with the iPhone. So much for that.
Alex Gonzalez
+Keith Lawson It does in fact work with the iPhone. Its just that functionality is limited unlike using it on Android.
I should have been more specific. Yeah, very limited according to the way he examined it. I wasn't aware of that. Explained that it needed to be hooked to the Internet in order to operate properly. Why not Bluetooth?
Albert Huang
all codes that are being sent out now are for V2. No one is getting shipped V1 at all. If you purchase now via an invite, you will receive V2.
When are you handsome devils bringing your gear down under? I'd kill to play with a pair!
Nik Tejeda
Aww... +Google Glass I got an invite to be an Explorer but can't afford the purchase right now... I'm bummed... Hopefully one day I can see through glass... :(
I can believe I'm going to say this because I can't stand the US but I need to move there because I really want Google Glass, Google Wallet, Google Voice and so many other services that is only available in the US
+Google Glass please make next tour in Mountain View! The original HQ location! Nonetheless I will consider TX
+Google Glass I'm in Austin and I can't wait. Is there an event page we can promote? Let's talk.
Will the glasses also tell you when a car speeding by while you are checking your emails ....
+Google Glass do you have any Glass experts in Minneapolis, Minnesota? I learn best hands-on and would like to meet up with them to get a crash course on my new Glass. Thank you!
Frank Lisitano
I would like to invite you in Amsterdam, because we want to start to develop the google glasses in the business enterprises
Totaly agree with +Frank Lisitano. You guys should seriously consider the Netherlands ;)
Yes agree with +Peter van der Meulen and +Frank Lisitano come to the netherlands, i can't wait to get a device and start developing for it !!

I live in Canada, is there a way for me to get a set of these #googleglasses ? I am about to buy a pair off of E-bay but am reluctant in case I cannot use them up here in Canada. I already have an invite code but it states it is for U.S. residents only.
Can someone please help me?
Thank you in advance!

Please ARIZONA please ARIZONA. Chandler, Arizona. Come on, I'm just an 11 year old geek who loves technology. In fact I kinda want a smartwatch for Christmas but if only I could get Google Glass. Hmmmmm... Also I have a B-day coming up Hmmm...
I think there is a huge application for these in law enforcement!! Imagine the aid and safety they would give to police officers on the street, and the ability to record what is happening from the officer's perspective!. I would love to have these on the street with me and in training!! Imagine being able to see what your student is seeing while teaching police driving or firearms! There are so many uses I can think of in criminal justice!!
xavier palmer
+Chris Wagoner We can also record them driving talking on their cellphone in the police car here in LA or giving tickets without any reason.
Jonathan Hawkins
I live in Fredericksburg, Va. and am a developer that just signed up to hopefully get the opportunity to work on some live repair support apps for Google Glass! Fingers always crossed and checking that mail!
Why can people living in countries but USA not join the google glass experiment? it is supposed to be done abroad, due to many people try out before their purchases.
Can I bring my 3 year old son to the event? I want to get him started early in tech.
+Jerard Simpson sure you can, but it would be a bad idea to let him try on Glass. It is recommended that the person wearing Glass is at least 13 years old I believe.
Just got invitation for glass today. Can't afford to get them. If anyone wants to donate a couple dollars let me know lol
I just received my glass and cool technology but needs a lot of work still!! The screen can be tiring to look at over time. When searching data or taking photos its all saved on wheel. You have to individually delete each item you search for, take photo of, video and much more. Its very time consuming to do so. Google please fix this. Not worth 1500 price tag
+gary Munford Thanks for your feedback. There will be some bumps in the road for this early version of Glass, but we're excited for the future. We recommend easing into Glass just like you would with a new prescription (start off using Glass 1-2 hours/day in the beginning and slowly increasing use with time). Let us know if you have any other questions.
I agree you do have to ease into the glass. However that is not a problem with the battery life since drains so quickly. No way could get a full day out of glass.
I find myself having to charge multiple times a day already. If you were a heavy user couldn't make it till lunch or even close.
Sorry for multiple posts, but I work in a medical center showing lots of employees. Not one has said they would pay the 1500 price tag. As we'll you have a 5-1 ratio in iPhone to android user. In order for glass to become truly mainstream an iPhone app would need to be implemented.
I really want to check it out but not at 1500 dollars. If it was at a reasonable price I would get it.
There is a 30 full refund policy which I intend to use. Not worth 1500 at this time. $500 should be the market range for sure.
Like the Glass but currently not enough to do on them to meet the $1600 total price tag. Especially because of the short battery life, luckily they charge extremely quickly, within minutes. Can't wait for more content to drop on these things, such great potential here.
Waiting for them to make a less standalone version of glass, and perhaps one that is more tightly integrated with the smartphone.
Apple and Google kicked the door down. It's a matter of seeing who goes through first.

The only problem I see with glass long term is viewing text. It's almost impossible to view entire web page with this type of viewing. Small info like sports scores or weather does we'll. Attempting to view large emails or large amounts of text becomes tiring.
Glass can read emails but this will drain battery even quicker!!!!
As stated a long way to go.
Many won't admit but glass right now is cool to own since nobody has. It's cool at first but could see sitting in shelf collecting dust overtime.

The $1500 price tag is to much for me. I would be happy to do testing if you are willing to provide me with a pair for testing purposes. I have a background in product testing from my time as the Senior Quality Technician at Parker Brother Games.
Daniel you can put on credit card for 30 days free. If don't like them return no charge
Thank you Gary but the $1500 is to much to spend on a product that is still in the testing stage. I am a test technician and would be happy to provide my services in exchange for a pair. Let me know.
1500 is the price if you want it before the consumer version comes out so if your patient the price will drop, kinda seems like all the comments are about the price :p.
Yeah I know for sure won't be keeping mine. Taking advantage of the 30 day trail period and then returning. As stated cool technology but would never use long term or on a daily basis. I consider myself working with the average Joe. I work in Hospital with doctors, nurses, housekeeping, marketing, dietary and much more. Not one person has yet stated would use daily or willing to purchase if possible. Several doctors stated information way to small for health care setting and nurses state the same.
Sorry don't see this ever being main stream any time soon

The very point of the Pentagon's quadrennial review of its military planning is to take account of changes in the world that affect this country's defense needs. The most recent review, presented last spring by Secretary of Defense William S. Cohen, demonstrates that our military establishment has missed the point. The world has changed greatly. The Pentagon has not. The better part of a decade after the demise of the Soviet Union, the Pentagon has let stand a defense doctrine inherited from the Bush administration: America ought to be able to fight two major wars simultaneously in different parts of the world without the assistance of allies. In the post-Soviet era this doctrine has outlived its usefulness and needlessly drains the country's resources.
Thus, the newly approved Gingrich-Clinton budget calls for roughly $265 billion in defense spending in fiscal year 1998. That sum accounts for 50 percent of total discretionary spending in the new budget. The next largest item-$31 billion-is for education. True, the Department of Defense (DOD)'s annual budget has declined steadily since the mid-1980s' Reagan arms build-up (down from $405 billion in 1985 to $268 billion last year-both figures in 1997 dollars), but that should not obscure the real issue: Given the end of the cold war, why are we still spending so much? In point of fact, DOD's budget this year is larger than the next eight leading national defense...

U.K. Fare Rises May Force 2 Million Commuters Away, Survey Finds
More than one in four Britons plan to change the way they commute next year mainly because of increased train and bus fares, according to a report by recruitment company reed.co.uk.
About 7 percent of those surveyed, equivalent to more than 2 million workers, aim to change their mode of transportation to avoid the fare increases, the company said in the report. Six percent, or 1.7 million workers, will seek to move to a new home or job over the next 12 months to make their commute easier, the survey found.
"Huge numbers of people plan to change how they travel to work next year, as rising fares and increased transport stress kick in," said Martin Warnes, managing director of reed.co.uk. "Many feel driving to work alone in their cars will be their only option, in spite of growing green and health concerns."
Train fares will rise by an average 6.2 percent in January 2011, according to figures issued by the U.K.'s Association of Train Operating Companies last month. London Underground fares will rise an average of 3.9 percent in January, Mayor Boris Johnson said in October.

NCAA Bball
NCAA Tournament - (2) Ohio State vs. (6) Arizona
Ohio State fought off a tough Iowa State team with a late three pointer from Craft. They now face Arizona who handled Harvard with relative ease. Both teams have been ranked in, or near, the top ten all season, and should make for one of the best Sweet 16 games. Arizona relies a little more on their offense, and rebound well, while Ohio State uses their defense to fuel their offense. No matter the outcome, basketball fans should be in for a treat.

Its capital, Santiago de Compostela is the final destination on the Way of Saint James, the famous pilgrim route. For this reason alone it is worth visiting this region in Green Spain. You'll love its landscapes full of green wooded valleys, and its amazing beaches. All along the length of its coastline, bathed by the Cantabrian Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, you'll find areas of spectacular cliffs like those on A Costa da Morte (Coast of Death).You can visit its numerous charming villages, both on the sea and inland, and cities such as Santiago de Compostela, A Coruña, Ferrol, Lugo, Orense, Pontevedra and Vigo.Galicia's delicious gastronomy is one of its strong points, and features a variety of typical produce and dishes, including its shellfish, veal, octopus, gammon with turnip greens or the almond tart known as "tarta de Santiago". And to drink what could be better than two of its most famous wines, Ribeiro and Albariño.
Millions of people from all over the world come to Santiago every year, many of them reaching the end of the Way of Saint James pilgrimage route. Its historic centre has been designated a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO. This is not the only reason to come, however. More reasons to visit Santiago: where gastronomy is an art, its university atmosphere, nature, a packed cultural programme, its festive character, gateway to Galicia.

America's Cup 2013 - Australians Randy Cunningham and Beau Outteridge (Nathan's brother) of Bangin the Corner's fame have scooped the sailing world.
With the benefit of some very high tech microphones they have been able to bring us the actual conversation that took place between Team Oracle USA boss New Zealander Sir Russell Coutts and Australian Jimmy Spithill the Oracle skipper after the USA team called for a postponement ahead of Race 6 in the series.

America's Cup - Glenn Ashby on Emirates Team NZ's road to Bermuda
Part 2 of the interview with Emirates Team NZ skipper Glenn Ashby.
In this part of the interview we look at what is going to happen once Emirates Team NZ get their 'AC49.5' sailing in Auckland, and how the campaign may shape up before they leave for Bermuda. Ashby wouldn't be drawn on whether Team New Zealand had started their AC50 build, with July being the usual start of what is usually a five-month build and commissioning period for an end of December launch.

Although they will be one of the last of the six teams to launch an AC45 Surrogate, Emirates Team New Zealand may have stolen a march with a boat that is as close as you can get to an AC50.

Unfortunately I didn't try the beta, and my video game budget has significantly dwindled since the arrival of our 2nd, who will be 3 this summer...that said I end up playing the crap out of games I do have the chance to purchase. Titanfall is old news and I it doesn't get the attention anymore. I've been playing SW Battlefront and would love to talk Buckeye football with any of you if you play!
Enjoy Indy! Thanks for all the coverage! Let me know if you need any food spots!
My hands are so sweaty watching this...
Don't sweat it! Better learned on 11W than a future boss, spouse, etc.
I know this post was only intended to be funny...That said, I'm adopted, and how dare you compare me to Jim!!! :-)
Adoption is just one of those topics, that isn't a protected class, that can be hurtful, even though you didn't intend it. My adopted mother couldn't have children. That simple fact, blessed me with the opportunity to become a citizen of The United States of America. I was born in South Korea, to a mother and father who were teenagers, out of wedlock. Just imagine the kind of life I would have had in Korea. I came to America when I was just 3 months old, my mom was my mom, my dad was my dad. It didn't matter that they were Caucasian and I wasn't. I'm reminded every time I go to the doctor, or my children go to the doctor I'm adopted. Because when the doctors ask if there's history of "X" in your family, I don't know.
Please know, I'm not trying to be an oversensitive whiner. I'm just trying to share my experience and let you know that being adopted isn't so bad. Thanks for thinking about it in the future! Go Bucks!
I'm pretty sure they make the Gold Pants out of these tears. Love it!
This write up, as usual, was spot on. I have had some concerns around Tyvis lately, dropped picks are going to happen from time to time; that's not what has been worrisome. It's been his angles and tackling that have been concerning for me. Anyone else seeing this too?
I was hoping to see some of this earlier in the season as well. I feel like Urban has plenty of tricks up his sleeve for MSU, TTUN and the playoff run.
As long as we win...I'll be satisfied.
As a huge Buckeyes fan who doesn't understand technique and some of the intricacies that goes into playing, I really appreciate this #knowledgebomb. Thanks!
Tater, if you had cannibalistic tendencies...in what form would you consume your kind in? French Fry, Tater Tot, Hash Brown, Scalloped, Baked, or Twice Baked?
This will be our Kent State game from last year.
Don't forget to tweet the recruits too! Feel free to mail me some Portillos, I miss it.
Thanks for sharing some of the blame!
You know my mom?
It has now evolved to XbraxOne

Objective: The objective of the study was to determine the role of M-band component on serum protein electrophoresis and bone marrow biopsy in the diagnosis. Methods: Data was collected on 34 patients with MM diagnosed and/or treated. Results: There were equal numbers of men 17 (50%) and women 17 (50%). All patients were first screened for the presence of M-Band using serum protein electrophoresis (SPE) followed by bone marrow biopsy as the confirmatory test. Only two patients screened negative by SPE. On the other hand six patients who tested positive by SPE were negative on biopsy. Thus the sensitivity of the SPE was 96% and specificity 71%. This means that 29 patients had an established diagnosis of MM. There was a slight male predominance when compared to females. Conclusion: The data showed that the SPE and bone biopsy are the important tools in the diagnosis of multiple myeloma in a small developing country.

Coombs' Test
Hemagglutination test in which Coombs' reagent (antiglobulin, or anti-human globulin rabbit immune serum) is added to detect incomplete (non-agglutinating, univalent, blocking) antibodies coating erythrocytes. The direct test is applied to red cells which have been coated with antibody in vivo (e.g., in hemolytic disease of newborn, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, and transfusion reactions). The indirect test is applied to serum to detect the presence of antibody (e.g., in detection of incompatibility in cross-matching tests, detection and identification of irregular antibodies, and in detection of antibodies not identifiable by other means).
A tetrameric protein, molecular weight between 50,000 and 70,000, consisting of 4 equal chains, and migrating on electrophoresis in 3 fractions more mobile than serum albumin. Its concentration ranges from 7 to 33 per cent in the serum, but levels decrease in liver disease.

Desis Dominate The National Spelling Bee
When Arvind Mahankali won the Scripps-Howard National Spelling Bee last night, he became the sixth consecutive Indian-American winner and the 11th in the past 15 years.
Back in 1985, Balu Natarajan became the spelling bee's first Indian-American winner. (He won with "milieu" and acknowledged that the words have gotten a lot harder since then.) Our play-cousins over at Tell Me More got to chat with him back in 2009.
"The only thing I'll take credit for is helping to prove that it can be done by someone of Indian-American descent," he said. "Really, beyond that, it's the effort put forth by the kids and their families."
But Natarajan said that a community organization called the North South Foundation was one of the biggest reasons for the dominance of young desis at the spelling bee. "They have been holding spelling bees since 1993," he said. " It initially started as a means of raising funds for kids who needed education in India, and that has turned into quite the training and breeding ground. There are a lot of kids who have done well in those contests who have then gone on to the national competition, and some of them have gone on to win."
In a nice explainer on the North South Foundation back in 2010, Slate said that NSF kids — thousands compete in NSF spelling events each year — might be even more dominant at the National Spelling Bee, were it not for Scripps' rules:
You have to be more than a great speller to qualify for the National Bee—you also have to live in a school district with a sponsoring newspaper or community organization. ... In areas with more gifted NSFers than competition zones, the battle to get into Scripps can be intense. Whereas regional North South Foundation competitions are run like standardized tests—the best scores get weighted against a national average to determine the national finalists—Scripps operates more like a crazy single-elimination tournament. The winner in each local bracket funnels into a pool of finalists, who repeat the same process to pick a winner. That can lead to some powerhouse regional showdowns. In San Jose, Calif., for instance, eventual 2009 NSF senior co-champion Ramya Auroprem had to beat out 2009 NSF runner-up Sidarth Jayadev just to make it into last year's National Spelling Bee finals.
Earlier this week, NPR's Elise Hu caught up with some former Scripps winners who were long past the braces-and-flash-cards phase of their lives.
"I think some potential spellers and their families may have this idea that winning the national spelling bee is an automatic passport to success, and I really don't think that's true," Raga Ramachandran, who won in 1988, told her. (She's a surgical pathologist now.) In spelling and in life, she said, "I know a lot of it is luck of the draw. ... If I had gotten a different word, if I had been spelling in a slightly different order, I might very well not have won."
