These are common warnings for many smartphone users around the world.
To build products that work for billions of users, developers must address key
challenges: limited or intermittent connectivity, device compatibility, varying
screen sizes, high data costs, short-lived batteries. We first presented developers.google.com/billions
and related Android and Web resources at Google I/O last month, and today you
can watch the video presentations about Android or the Web.
These best practices can help developers reach billions by delivering
exceptional performance across a range of connections, data plans, and devices.
g.co/dev/billions will
help you:
Seamlessly transition between slow, intermediate, and offline
Your users move from place to place, from speedy wireless to patchy or expensive
data. Manage these transitions by storing data, queueing requests, optimizing
image handling, and performing core functions entirely offline.
Provide the right content for the right context
Keep context in mind - how and where do your users consume your content?
Selecting text and media that works well across different viewport sizes,
keeping text short (for scrolling on the go), providing a simple UI that doesn't
distract from content, and removing redundant content can all increase
perception of your app's quality while giving real performance gains
like reduced data transfer. Once these practices are in place, localization
options can grow audience reach and increase engagement.
Optimize for mobile hardware
Ensure your app or Web content is served and runs well for your widest possible
addressable market, covering all actively used OS versions, while still
following best practices, by testing on virtual or actual devices in target
markets. Native Android apps should set minimum and target SDKs. Also, remember
low cost phones have smaller amounts of RAM; apps should therefore adjust usage
accordingly and minimize background running. For in-depth information on
minimizing APK size, check out this series
of Medium posts. On the Web, optimize JavaScript CPU usage, avoid raster
image rendering, and minimize resource requests. Find out more here.
Reduce battery consumption
Low cost phones usually have shorter battery life. Users are sensitive to
battery consumption levels and excessive consumption can lead to a high
uninstall rate or avoidance of your site. Benchmark your battery usage against
sessions on other pages or apps, or using tools such as Battery Historian, and
avoid long-running processes which drain batteries.
Conserve data usage
Whatever you're building, conserve data usage in three simple steps: understand
loading requirements, reduce the amount of data required for interaction, and
streamline navigation so users get what they want quickly. Conserving data on
behalf of your users (and with native apps, offering configurable network usage)
helps retain data-sensitive users -- especially those on prepaid plans or
contracts with limited data -- as even "unlimited" plans can become expensive
when roaming or if unexpected fees are applied.

on low-cost devices? Let us know on our G+

The Google Feed API was one of
Google's original AJAX APIs, first announced in 2007. It had a good run.
However, interest and use of the API has waned over time, and it is running on
API infrastructure that is now two generations old at Google.
Along with many of our other free APIs, in April 2012, we announced that we
would be deprecating it in three years time. As of April 2015, the deprecation
period has elapsed. While we have continued to operate the API in the interim,
it is now time to announce the turndown.
As a final courtesy to developers, we plan to operate the API until September
29, 2016, when Google Feed API will cease operation. Please ensure that your
application is no longer using this API by then.
Google appreciates how important APIs and developer trust are and we do not take
decisions like this one lightly. We remain committed to providing great services
and being open and communicative about their statuses.
For those developers who find RSS an essential part of their workflow, there are
commercial alternatives that may well fit your use case very well.

ones: When people entered a playful VR environment, they understood it
was safe space to play with the toys around them. They felt comfortable

To create more intricate animations, we also built another experiment that let
people independently animate the joints of a single character. It let you record
your character's movement as you separately animated the feet, hands, and head —
just like you would with a puppet.
VR allows us to rethink software and make certain use cases more natural and
intuitive. While this kind of animation system won't replace professional tools,
it can allow anyone to tell their own stories. There are many examples of using
VR for storytelling, especially with video and animation, and we're excited to
see new perspectives as more creators share their stories in VR.

priority. We were already supporting many of Google's mobile apps like
Translate, Maps, and the Google app, which use neural networks running on
devices. We knew that we had to make mobile a first-class part of open source
TensorFlow has been available to developers on Android since launch, and today
we're happy to add iOS in v0.9 of TensorFlow, along with Raspberry Pi support

For most developers, building an authentication system for your app can feel a lot like paying taxes. They are both relatively hard to understand tasks that you have no choice but doing, and could have big consequences if you get them wrong. No one ever started a company to pay taxes and no one ever built an app just so they could create a great login system. They just seem to be inescapable costs.
But now, you can at least free yourself from the auth tax. With Firebase Authentication, you can outsource your entire authentication system to Firebase so that you can concentrate on building great features for your app. Firebase Authentication makes it easier to get your users signed-in without having to understand the complexities behind implementing your own authentication system. It offers a straightforward getting started experience, optional UX components designed to minimize user friction, and is built on open standards and backed by Google infrastructure.
Implementing Firebase Authentication is relatively fast and easy. From the Firebase console, just choose from the popular login methods that you want to offer (like Facebook, Google, Twitter and email/password) and then add the Firebase SDK to your app. Your app will then be able to connect securely with the real time database, Firebase storage or to your own custom back end. If you have an auth system already, you can use Firebase Authentication as a bridge to other Firebase features.
Firebase Authentication also includes an open source UI library that streamlines building the many auth flows required to give your users a good experience. Password resets, account linking, and login hints that reduce the cognitive load around multiple login choices - they are all pre-built with Firebase Authentication UI. These flows are based on years of UX research optimizing the sign-in and sign-up journeys on Google, Youtube and Android. It includes Smart Lock for Passwords on Android, which has led to significant improvements in sign-in conversion for many apps. And because Firebase UI is open source, the interface is fully customizable so it feels like a completely natural part of your app. If you prefer, you are also free to create your own UI from scratch using our client APIs.
And Firebase Authentication is built around openness and security. It leverages OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect, industry standards designed for security, interoperability, and portability. Members of the Firebase Authentication team helped design these protocols and used their expertise to weave in latest security practices like ID tokens, revocable sessions, and native app anti-spoofing measures to make your app easier to use and avoid many common security problems. And code is independently reviewed by the Google Security team and the service is protected in Google's infrastructure.
Fabulous uses Firebase Authentication to power their login system. Fabulous is a research-based app incubated in Duke University's Center for Advanced Hindsight. Its goal is to help users to embark on a journey to reset poor habits, replacing them with healthy rituals, with the ultimate goal of improving health and well-being.
The developers of Fabulous wanted to implement an onboarding flow that was easy to use, required minimal updates, and reduced friction with the end user. They wanted an anonymous option so that users could experiment with it before signing up. They also wanted to support multiple login types, and have an option where the user sign-in flow was consistent with the look and feel of the app.
"I was able to implement auth in a single afternoon. I remember that I spent weeks before creating my own solution that I had to update each time the providers changed their API" - Amine Laadhari, Fabulous CTO.
Chu-Day is an application (available on Android and iOS) that helps couples to never forget the dates that matter most to them. It was created by the Korean firm Malang Studio, that develops character-centric, gamified lifestyle applications.
Generally, countdown and anniversary apps do not require users to sign-in, but Malang Studio wanted to make Chu-day special, and differentiate it from others by offering the ability to connect couples so they could jointly countdown to a special anniversary date. This required a sign-in feature, and in order to prevent users from dropping out, Chu-day needed to make the sign-in process seamless.
Malang Studio was able to integrate an onboarding flow in for their apps, using Facebook and Google Sign-in, in one day, without having to worry about server deployment or databases. In addition, Malang Studio has also been taking advantage of the Firebase User Management Console, which helped them develop and test their sign-in implementation as well as manage their users:
"Firebase Authentication required minimum configuration so implementing social account signup was easy and fast. User management feature provided in the console was excellent and we could easily implement our user auth system." - Marc Yeongho Kim, CEO / Founder from Malang Studio

The book I'm reading right now is "Chess Fundamentals" by J.R. Capablanca. The game in exercise 50 (the topic is "Directing Attacks En Masse") has an example of exactly what I was talking about yesterday. Capablanca's opponent makes an obvious blunder that costs the game (although it must be noted that Capablanca says the game was already lost when the blunder was made). Interestingly the game itself is not in chess databases--what does that mean? Who knows when/where this game was played, perhaps against his wife some Sunday afternoon? We don't know who his opponent was. (Of course it is only a guess that Capablanca was playing white, but my impression is that Capablanca is quite arrogant and likes showing off.)
Here is the game. First is the initial position of the example. White plays Bh7, Capablanca's point is attacking the king can be done but it must be done en masse and must never be stopped once it is started.
Commentators have discussed the wisdom of Bh7 in the first place. Chess computers all say no, and yet Capablanca wins (which is the most important point, right?).
But what I want to point out is the last move in the position above. After 23....Ne2, the position is this:
Seems like a great move, one I would have been proud to make. Problem is, there's a rook on e1 that just takes the black knight!
This is exactly the same problem with yesterday's puzzle, discussed in my previous post "Missing the obvious," when many commenters pointed out a move they thought would win, except that it obviously wouldn't.
So the move here was made presumably by a chess master of some sort, and yet in hindsight it was a glaring blunder. This is a stark illustration of what I asked about yesterday--is chess skill anything other than not missing the obvious? Is there anything to a chess master's play other than a better ability to notice the obvious? I still don't know the answer, but it is a strong possibility. When you listen to grand masters talk, or analyses of games, the focus is frequently on mistakes--mistakes are what open up the possibility of a win for the other side. So what is this thing called chess expertise?

The objective of this study is to evaluate impacts of different management scenarios for American lobster (Homarus americanus) and Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) fisheries on the dynamics of ecosystem for the lobster in the Gulf of Maine (GOM). The GOM lobster supports one of the most economically valuable commercial fisheries in the northeastern United States. The GOM ecosystem has experienced a great change over the last two decades, switching from a groundfish-dominated ecosystem to a lobster-dominated ecosystem. An evaluation of the GOM ecosystem dynamics can help identify possible causes of such a change and improve our understanding of interactions between lobster and other species in the same ecosystem. In this study, we developed a 24-group Ecosim model to quantify the ecosystem dynamics in the GOM from 1985 to 2007. We developed a Monte Carlo simulation approach to incorporate uncertainties for 15 most sensitive vulnerabilities. We found that the GOM ecosystem dynamics could be generally well simulated using the Ecosim model compiled in this study. A high fishing mortality in cod could result in high lobster stock biomass, suggesting that higher fishing pressure on cod in the 1980s might contribute to the high lobster biomass in recent years. A higher fishing mortality for lobster would have led to a lower lobster biomass. The change in the fishing mortality of cod and lobster would also affect the biomass dynamics of other functional groups, indicating that the Atlantic cod and American lobster fisheries played an important role in the change of the GOM ecosystem in the last two decades.

The Mumbai Police Crime Branch on Thursday arrested three persons accused of involvement in a case of firing at the elder brother of murdered 'matka king' Suresh Bhagat, in Gamdevi.
According to the police, an amount of Rs 1 crore was paid to the shooter by a man who had worked for several years for Suresh's elder brother, Vinod.
Those arrested have been identified as Deepak Suman Patel (28), Amar Ramkumar Jha (24) and Ajay Singh Amarjeet Singh (32). While Patel is a resident of Virar, Jha and Singh live in Walkeshwar and Koparkhairne respectively.
Patel and Jha were arrested by Unit 1 of the Crime Branch, and Singh was picked up by Unit 10. They have been remanded to police custody till November 29.
"It was 9.15 pm on October 25, outside the Manick Lodge in Gamdevi, when Vinod was leaving in an Ambassador car. Two men appeared on a Yamaha motorbike and the pillion rider fired one round at the car. The Crime Branch conducted parallel investigations in the case. Three persons were arrested this afternoon," said Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Rakesh Maria.
According to the police, Patel worked as an odd-job man for Vinod for about five years. Singh used to be a member of the Arun Gawli gang before joining the Pandav Putra gang as a shooter. He has four previous offences registered against him since 2003 at Tardeo and Nagpada police stations. He was also booked under the Maharashtra Prevention of Disruptive Activities Act1` by the MRA Marg police in 2005."Preliminary enquiries have revealed that Patel had paid a 'supari' of Rs 1 lakh for the firing.
It was Jha who was at the wheel and Singh was the one who fired at the car. The motorbike is owned by Jha. We are still to ascertain the motive behind the firing. Investigations are on," said Maria.

should be about a 20% raise in target price with the new acquisition. Will come out after next earnings probably be in the 26.50 to 27.25 range but earnings will also have a factor.
See the premarket bid and ask with a $3.00 plus spread? Crazy. Wouldn't happen with "Real" Market Makers. Reinstate the 1938 Uptick Rule for short selling, which was sneakily removed on July 6, 2007, and initiated the downfall of our country's economy.
Yes, it was the uptick rule that did us in, not the Federal Reserve fueled bubbles or massive and unsustainable national debt.
It doesn't get much publicity but these wide bid/ask spreads can wreak havoc with stop limit orders.
I am not an ammo expert. So, here's the big question...are they buying K.A. Steel to help their chances of winning the Lake City Bid...or does this really have no impact on that part of their business. I know ATK has a pretty strong hold on that plant, but everyone thought the same way about the Redford bid. So does anyone know if this helps?
I don't think so, I believe it is strictly on their chemical side. Olin and BAE systems started a joint venture to be competitive on the lake city bid. They formed US Munitions LLC and that contract should be awarded sometime in october.

Euro-porn fans looking for a semblance of a plot as opposed to just another anal wall-to-waller.
More decadent rich people. Lots of costumed and masked sex on remote country estates, where the servants are paid extra to be blind and deaf. S/M trappings and fetish outfits. Orgies. That sort of stuff. Even after a brief recap of the first tape ("Previously on Angel's Contract"), one has no idea what's going on. There's a hallucinatory dream sequence near the beginning of the tape, and it just makes things more confusing. Apparently, a rich woman has taken another woman under her wing to initiate her into the bizarre sex rites of rich people. The rich woman and her sister hate each other.
The tape is dubbed, but not well, so the dialogue just serves as setups for the sex scenes, and there's damn precious little exposition. On the other hand, the tape looks great, the music's okay, and the sets are beautiful. So, ultimately, who cares why any of it's going on?

Big Rock Alpaca Farm 2015 Open House
November 7, 8 & 14, 15, 2015 from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM
The alpaca walking area is always a big hit for kids and adults alike. Be sure to bring a camera to catch that moment your loved one gets an alpaca kiss.
We'll have lots of cash and carry items, especially socks, and will be taking orders for larger items with free shipping to your address upon arrival.
If you can't make it out to the open house, visit our online store to get some great alpaca products.
Unfortunately in 2014 most of the alpaca yarn didn't make it in time for the open house, so we'll have it out this year. This year we'll also be featuring some new product lines, including Classic Alpaca and Altera Socks which are made in the USA.
We plan to have the hay ride again, pulled by a tractor driven by Kelly's father, or Josh. Part of the hay ride route will also go past the highland cow pasture, and if they are cooperating you may get see them, including the calves that was born in the spring.
To thank our veterans for their service, we'd like to extend a 10% discount to any active or former serviceman or woman, with ID.

Two die after car strikes tree
Published: Sunday, August 23, 2009 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, August 22, 2009 at 11:21 p.m.
HOUMA A driver and his passenger died Saturday after their car veered off East Park Avenue and crashed into an oak tree, killing both men instantly, police and witnesses said.
The driver, 38, and the passenger, 25, are both from Honduras, State Police said. Their names have not been released.
The men were heading north on East Park Avenue at 8:09 p.m. when the 2006 Ford Fusion veered off the road to the right then overcorrected, skidding into an empty field south of the Howard Avenue bridge, State Police said. The rear passenger side of the car hit a large oak tree, then flipped 360 degrees, landing right-side up halfway in a ditch on the far side of the tree.
The impact left the passenger doors folded over the driver's side.
"I've never seen a car mangled up this bad," said Hebert Fitch, Village East Volunteer Fire chief.
State Police Lt. Todd Toloudis said speed was likely a factor in the crash, though it was unclear whether alcohol also played a role. Blood tests, required by state law in fatal crashes, will be conducted.
Both men wore their seat belts, Toloudis said.
Bryant Hebert, 51, and his wife, Carrie, were heading south, driving home from a wedding at the East Park Recreation Center, when the oncoming car swerved in front of them.
Hebert said the car was easily going 80 to 90 mph on a stretch of road where the speed limit is 45 mph.
"If they'd have been another two seconds slower, he would have hit us," Hebert said. He just missed us."
Hebert said he and other drivers pulled over and approached the wrecked car, finding the driver still sitting in his seat.
They found the passenger pinned beneath the car on the other side.
"I was asking Is anybody alive in there?' Nobody answered," he said.

Even full employment (which we had under most of Bush) isn't going to solve this out of control spending though.
I'd like to see all of the tax loopholes done away with and companies like GE need to pay more in taxes if they want to sell their Chinese products in this country (and expect more bailout loans.)
Once we get unemployment under control, I'd have no problem with taxes being raised on those filthy, stinking rich. But as we've seen, even if we stole (taxed) 100% of all individual income over 250K, we still wouldn't be able to pay all of the 3.7 trillion a year that this out of control Fedzilla burns through every year (without borrowing or printing like we're doing now.)

Why? Because he needed to show some loonies that he is born in America? Where was this question for Bush, Clinton or even McCain who was actually born OUTSIDE the U.S....
To even consider this nonsense, means you actually think there was some government wide conspiracy, think about it.
Clinton had an affair during his presidency in the oval office, lied about, not that I care but once again, reason for why people wouldn't like him.
Obama on the other hand has been called everything from a racist, terrorist, Muslim and a liar about his status as an American citizen. ALL unfounded.....
are you a badfish too?

That's what CamFind's developers are claiming — that the app is at least four times more accurate than Google Goggles at recognizing and then searching for the subject of a photo you've taken with your iPhone.
If you're unfamiliar with the two-year-old Google Goggles function (integrated within the Google Search app) the idea is pretty simple. Just snap a photo with your iPhone, and the app tries to recognize what you've taken a photo of. Once identified, you can then initiate a Google search for that item.

"Rodoreda infuses surreal elements into her novel in a similar fashion to her Spanish-language, magical-realist counterparts, using the fantastic to draw out the strangeness of quotidian reality, but perhaps due to its brevity (Death in Spring comes in at only 150 pages) the magical seems far more saturated than in, say, One Hundred Years of Solitude, and serves to further the sense that the story takes place in a world impossibly close to but distinctly alien from ours."Hannah Manshel, The Front Table
"The bleakness of Rodoreda's outlook stands in dramatic contrast to the gorgeous lyricism of her prose. In Martha Tennent's translation, her sentences are richly luxuriant, embodying the fecund beauty of spring in bloom while also admitting the imminence of death and decay. Throughout Death in Spring, horror often creeps in right on beauty's heels."Ryan Michael Williams, Rain Taxi
"Tradition is a strange and curious thing. "Death in Spring,"is a novel from Catalan author Merce Rodoreda, expertly translated by Martha Tennent. Focusing on a small town and its strande customs, "Death in Spring" is a very special and highly recommended read."The Midwest Book Review
"The novel is suspenseful, pushing the reader through the images, memories, and voices that flow within the protagonist's often confused mind as he develops into manhood. Just as the unnamed protagonist must navigate a world of contradictions, the novel reflects Rodoreda's own political, social, and literary exile while speaking of a tyranny that feels almost uncanny in its incantation."Katherine Elaine Sanders, Bomb Magazine
"This novel is just one boy's account of living life; it is an example that tells us a story: a beautiful and evocative and viscerally bloody story about life and death."Patrick Gage Kelley, The Tartan
"Death in Spring is very different from any other story I've read. It's strange and unsettling but still compelling, and has stayed with me for many weeks as I try to work out its meaning. The obvious conclusion is that it is about the corruption of what is natural, as is death in the season of new life and rebirth."Charlotte Simpson, Belletrista

January 26, 2013
I am trying to built a robot which is controlled by a ANDROID PHONE . THe phone and the robot comuunicate with each other through the BTbee module i.e using the UART protocol.
My robot requires two dc motr driver for the wheels control and a LCD module for display..
Can you suggest me a development board which will support all my requirements ?
please help
No problem
Just so we can help you better, which boards have you looked at already?
Ok I think that would be fine
The board you link to seems to be fine to me. It is bootloaded to be an Arduino Leonardo, which there is nothing wrong with, but it is not the "standard" arduino board. I don't think you would have to make many, if any at all, changes to any code you would be running. Other than that, it looks to be a pretty basic board --Arduino, usb, L298 and some headers. Yes, this would be fine.
You can add your LCD later via parallel or serial control.
By the way, is this your first robot?
Found it
Yup, I checked. I googled "Serial Parall..." and the auto-fill took care of the rest with "Serial Parallel Arduino" for me.
From there, I found:
LCD's Serial or Parallel ? - Arduino Forum
LCD: parallel vs serial
Parallel LCD to Serial LCD
Serial Enabled LCD Backpack - SparkFun Electronics
Sorry it took me so long to get around to googling this, I have been wicked busy.

"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy and make plans."
– Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast
Ford Fry's The Optimist brings a seaside fish camp experience to landlocked Atlantans. From fresh oysters from the Alabama coast and Maine sea scallops to whole roasted Georgia trout, guests enjoy high-quality, sustainable seafood from the country's best suppliers. Tucked in an old ham-aging house, The Optimist serves up beer, wine, and handcrafted cocktails with hickory-roasted fish and raw oysters, while beach-food classics like hush puppies and lobster rolls transport you to your favorite coastal haunts.
Chef/Owner Ford Fry
Ford Fry's chef-owned and operated restaurants focus on seasonal cooking with high-quality ingredients – letting the food speak for itself. The Houston native graduated from the New England Culinary Institute and served as a fine-dining chef in Texas, Florida, California, and Colorado. Fry settled in Atlanta to open refined Southern restaurant JCT. Kitchen. The Italian-inspired no. 246, The Optimist, smoky King + Duke, and elegant St. Cecilia followed. He's been a James Beard Foundation Outstanding Restaurateur semifinalist; named Restaurateur of the Year by the Georgia Restaurant Association; named Empire Builder of the Year by Eater Atlanta; and been invited to cook at the James Beard House on numerous occasions.

Executive Chef Wesley True
As executive chef at The Optimist and Oyster Bar at The Optimist, Wesley True spearheads the restaurant's sustainable seafood drive and exhibits his deep profound relationship with the Gulf Coast. True began his career in Oxford, Mississippi at the landmark restaurant City Grocery under award-winning Chef John Currance. True realized his passion for learning technique, speed, and consistency, and he enrolled in New York's Culinary Institute of America. Following his time at CIA, True landed a spot first at New York City's Danube, then at Bouley and Aquavit. True took his career back to his home state, opening True in Mobile and went on to open a restaurant in Montgomery, Alabama by the same name.
Ford Fry and True met organically through the industry, and the friendship merged into a business relationship: "We share a similar view and philosophy about how to operate a restaurant and business," True said. "That's something I was searching for over quite a long time." With an upbringing by the Gulf of Mexico, and his work with the Alabama Gulf Seafood board, True is a natural fit for The Optimist.

The Melt Method: A Breakthrough Self-Treatment System to Eliminate Chronic Pain, Erase the Signs of Aging, and Feel Fantastic in Just 1 (Hardcover)
On Our Shelves Now
Release stuck stress with MELT
Over a decade ago, Sue Hitzmann was at the height of her career as an international fitness presenter and instructor. She appeared to be in perfect health, yet she was experiencing debilitating pain in her foot. With a master's degree in exercise science and advanced training in neuromuscular therapy, she thought it would be easy to find out what was going on in her body, but even the most prominent doctors and physical therapists couldn't explain what was wrong. Although she was only in her twenties, Hitzmann's career was threatened and her quality of life was in decline.
Hitzmann learned the hard way that diet, exercise, and muscular strength are not the foundation of a healthy, pain-free body. As she sought the true source of her pain, she radically changed her focus from fitness to hands-on bodywork.
In her quest to live an active, pain-free life, she became fascinated by the emerging science of connective tissue, or fascia, which surrounds all aspects of your body, including your muscles, bones, nerves, and organs. The researchers she met were discovering that connective tissue the system of the body that supports, protects, and stabilizes was responsive, adaptable, and renewable. What Hitzmann came to realize is that connective tissue dehydration is the underlying cause of the daily aches, stiffness, and strain that leads to pain, as well as weight gain, sleep problems, and many other seemingly unrelated issues. Through her personal exploration and private practice, she developed the MELT Method, and has since trained thousands of instructors in the science and application of Hands-Off Bodywork. MELT can help you fall asleep more easily and sleep more soundly, have more energy during the day, improve your posture, reduce stress and tension, shed excess body fat, and reduce cellulite.
While it may seem too good to be true, it's worked for more than 200,000 people so far. Translated into eight languages, The MELT Method is now helping people around the world. Live your best, most youthful and vibrant life possible. Free yourself of chronic pain and be healthy and active with MELT
About the Author
Sue Hitzmann, M.S., C.S.T., N.M.T., is the creator of the MELT Method, a revolutionary self-treatment that helps people get out and stay out of chronic pain. A nationally recognized educator, manual therapist, exercise physiologist, and founding member of the Fascial Research Society, Sue has appeared on The Dr. Oz Show, The Rachael Ray Show, and Live! with Regis and Kelly. She lives in New York City.

Loved it. Nice, creamy quiche texture, rather than a lot of the "eggy" recipes I've tried. Comes out loaded with asparagus too. I also baked a little longer than called for.
This recipe is absolutly wonderful. We loved it. Fresh fruit on the side completed the meal. I did use a large high sided pie plate. I did have to bake it about 10 minutes longer. Followed the recipe with no other changes. Will be making this dish again very soon. Thanks for sharing.

The "Big 5" experience that the Kruger National Park, Timbavati and Sabi Sands offer is unrivaled in Southern Africa.
Okavango Delta Lodges
A safari to southern Africa is simply not complete without a visit to the Okavango Delta or one of the surrounding wildlife reserves; a region of diverse habitats with exceptional wildlife and birdlife sightings. Canoeing, boating, riding and 4x4 safaris await all who venture into the water-world of the Okavango.
Zambia's Lodges
Zambia is without doubt one of Africa's wildest and most remote safari destinations. From Victoria Falls to the Kafue, from the Luangwa valley to the Lower Zambezi National Park, you will experience rare safari moments. Daily direct flights into Lusaka from Europe now make it easier to access Zambia "The real Africa".
Tanzania's Serengeti Lodges
Tanzania's Serengeti, like it's Kenyan sister the Masai Mara, offers one of the best wildlife shows on Earth with the annual wildebeest and zebra migration. When in full swing, common sightings of lions, leopards, cheetahs and hyenas provide you with fantastic photographic and viewing opportunities.
Namibia's Namib Lodges
To gaze at the vast open and clear expanses of this desert make you fundamentally reflect on your being. All within the 50 000 square kilometres of the Namib Naukluft Park are white salt pans surrounded by orange sand dunes that are up to 300 metres high. A truly remarkable destination.
Kenya's Masai Mara
Home to one of the largest wildlife migrations on earth, Kenya's Masai Mara has become the iconic safari destination on the African continent. Sweeping savannas with thousands of migrating Wildebeest bring the alpha predators, something which absolutely needs to be seen and which your memory will not forget.

Taking the show on the road is a regular part of a percussionist's life - and if you happen to be a member of a marching band, it's pretty much guaranteed that you're going to be playing the field, so to speak. Of course, when you're not literally playing the field (if your next gig is in an auditorium, for example), you can count on these marching percussion stands and accessories to keep your stage ready. Throughout this selection, you'll find everything from xylophone carts and drums stands to hoop claws and carrying hardware, all of which make the life of any percussionist a lot easier.
If you're unsure where to start your search, your best bet is to start with this catalog's top-selling percussion stands. Need a stand for your snare? Check out the Dynasty DSPS Marching Snare Drum Stand. Designed to hold any marching snare drum, this sturdy stand is made of durable steel and powder coated aluminum. It's fully adjustable and one of its legs "telescopes", meaning that it moves in and out to accommodate rough terrain and other uneven surfaces.
Or, maybe it's a holder for your percussion mallets that you're after… in which case, you'll definitely want the XL Specialty Percussion Claw Mallet Holder Rim Saver at your disposal. Compact, convenient with space for 14" and 16" deep marching bass drum mallets, this holder provides quick and easy access to your mallets so you'll never have to hunt for the right one.
And there are many more marching percussion stands and accessories to look through as well. Whether you're in the market for an instrument specific stand like the Yamaha T-GONG Marching Tough Terrain Gong Frame or something a little more generic like the Ludwig Multi-Angle Carrying Bar, this catalog is packed with a wide variety of marching percussion stands to meet your specific music needs.

MIAMI -- It's been a week filled with back-and-forth banter between Miami Dolphins offensive linemen Jonathan Martin and Richie Incognito. For starters, Martin did his first interview with NBC Sports since the bullying scandal took place. Then, Incognito's camp went on a barrage to discredit Martin's claims with statements and released text messages.
Now that the NFL investigation is in the books, both sides are angling in the battle for public perception. The soon-to-be released Ted Wells report should tell all. But the blunt truth is there will be no winners in the Martin-Incognito saga when it's all said and done.
At the very least, Incognito is a meathead football player. He's an alpha-male who uses vulgar language, texts and messages to teammates to get his point across. That's his idea of "friendship."
At the very least, Martin is socially awkward and proved he has trouble fitting in an NFL locker room. His willingness to communicate in equally crude ways, as Incognito proved, shows Martin is either weak-minded and gave into the culture or he's downright hypocritical. Neither is good.
The Dolphins, meanwhile, allowed this twisted relationship to fester over a year and a half. Martin claims he told his position coach, presumably offensive line coach Jim Turner. But not enough was done from an organizational standpoint to stop the madness. Therefore, no one comes away clean from this high-profile bullying scandal.
It will be hard for both Incognito and Martin to find jobs next season -- albeit for different reasons. NFL coaches and general managers will be afraid to take in a player with Incognito's bad-boy reputation. Meanwhile, players in the locker room will have a hard time deciding if Martin is trustworthy and mentally tough enough. Opportunities are fleeting for both parties.
The decisions Martin and Incognito made for more than a year will put a major scar on both players' careers. Based on their actions this week, someone is trying to come out the winner. But winning is not an option for either party.

Even the scenarios are clever, as when veteran "producer" Lisa Ann test drives rookie James Deen in a reversal of the usual gonzo casting couch scenario. Kelly Leigh also turns in a stellar performance as an alcoholic hooker with a filthy mouth and a loose behind, while Payton Leigh and Kayla Quinn get back door visits from young studs.

From Booklist
"[A] fast-paced love story…the scorching sun illuminates a friend's betrayal and reignites a romance."
— O, The Oprah Magazine
"Perfect for fans of the Gossip Girl series." — People
"Summer of 1938: A scandalous love triangle and a famous hurricane converge in a New England beach community. Add in a betrayal between friends, a marriage for money, and a Yankee pitcher, and it's a perfect storm."
—Good Housekeeping
"A candidate for this year's big beach read." —Kirkus
"Novels as masterfully done as A Hundred Summers come along only about that often. Beatriz Williams delivers an intricately woven tale of friendship, betrayal, old families, and closely guarded secrets. It is what every beach book should aspire to be – smart and engrossing."
—Elin Hilderbrand, author of Beautiful Day and the bestselling Summerland
"Smart, delicious writing... Williams adds a signature touch of historic drama."
—Library Journal
"Williams' sweeping saga of betrayal, sacrifice, and redemption trenchantly examines the often duplicitous nature of female friendships and family friendships."
"A Hundred Summers delivers swoons and intrigue against the backdrop of the 1938 New England hurricane….Williams evokes the era effortlessly and delights in ripping the rug out from under the reader just when the riddles seem easiest to solve. Filled with delicious scandals, catty socialites, and true love, this beach read deserves pride of place in every vacationer's tote bag."
— Shelf Awareness
A Hundred Summers sparkles like the New England summer sun. A brilliantly told tale of love lost and found, of friendship, and of family ties that strangle… Definitely a book for my keeper shelf.
—Karen White New York Times-bestselling author of Sea Change

Actually, in my experience the opposite is usually true. Most, but not all, of the tailors I have used mark up the price of goods. In fact, there was a time not so long ago that mils, nerchants and their agents would not sell to the public in part to allow tailors to make a profit on cloth.

WASHINGTON (October 16, 2013)—Obama administration officials projected that nearly 500,000 people would sign up this month in the new health insurance markets, but that was before the markets opened to a cascade of computer problems.
If the glitches persist and frustrated consumers give up, that goal could be difficult to attain.
An internal memo from the Health and Human Services Department that The Associated Press obtained lists monthly enrollment targets for 50 states and Washington, D.C., through March 31.
In the Sept. 5 memo, officials estimated that 494,620 people would sign up for health insurance by Oct. 31, which the memo said reflected a modest start for the markets.
With 15 days to go this month, however, the federal government has yet to release enrollment numbers for the health care overhaul.

I'm using Jquery (1.3.2) $.post command to trigger an ajax call to a rails server.
The code works great on Safari and on Google Chrome (mac), but when I tried it on Firefox (3.5.7), I got a weird '406 Not Acceptable' error.
When I look at the headers, it Firefox indicated that it accepted only ' text/javascript' responses. And the response Content-Type was 'text/html; charset=utf-8'.
In Chrome the accepted types were 'application/json, text/javascript, /, text/javascript' and the response Content-Type was 'application/json; charset=utf-8'.
I tried to force the content type in rails to 'text/javascript'
format.json do
render :json => @races.to_json, :content_type => 'text/javascript'
The content type is indeed changed in Chrome, but not in Firefox where it remains 'text/html'.
Here is the code I used to trigger the ajax call.
Is there something I can do to make this work in Firefox? Thanks

Crews have located the bodies of a girl and a man who fell into Lake Okeechobee when their boat tipped over.
Three people went into the lake during Friday night's boating accident. A Palm Beach County Sheriff's deputy pulled an eight-year-old girl from the water. She was taken to a local hospital and is expected to survive.
A sheriff's office spokeswoman says the body of a 7-year-old girl was found early Saturday morning. On Saturday afternoon, crews located the man's body.

I am having a class that implements Runnable and inside this class is implemented the gameloop of my game. In few words, I have a stopwatch and I want at a specific time to show a message with options to the user. At this point the user either is winner either has to try again. I know that I cannot start a new activity inside the thread. So, I have the following options:
- Use of a Handler and a Looper to start my new activity
- Kill the thread somehow and start my new activity
- Stop the thread and go to the new activity
Is there any other way? I would like to know the best way to do this.

On Sept. 6 and 20, Apple maps pointed two cars to cross a runway at Alaska's Fairbanks International Airport. The directions were meant to culminate at a terminal, but rather than end up at a check-in counter, these passengers found themselves on the tarmac.
No one was injured in either incident and the airport notified Apple on Sept. 6 as soon as the first person ended up on the runway. Apple subsequently disabled the inaccurate instructions, but according to The Associated Press via The San Diego Union-Tribune:
A word to wise Apple users: Unless you fancy getting flattened by a large winged object, it's probably best to download another map app.

what I'm trying to is to make a USB disk with local repository / directory for offline installation (or upgrade) of Linux servers. Why !? Simple, I'm working on maintenance of huge cluster of asterisk IP PBX-es, asterisk (and dahdi, and ...) is build against kernel sources, and if version of kernel is changed (different from one I'm used to build), then it is a disaster waiting to happen. Now, my idea is to place all rpm's / srpm's that are installed on one server (development) and install / upgrade all other servers to same version of rpm's. Easy way to do this is to force YUM to download all installed rpm's to some directory, then copy them to usb-flash_disk and do on all other servers "yum install ./*.rpm" !? So then I'm having all systems at same revision!
Question is : how to tell YUM to (only) download all rpm's that are installed ???

A disturbing syndrome identified by the American Psychological Association as discussed in "Fast Times," is:
a. an increased use of mind-altering drugs by middle-school children.
*b. the sexualization of girls as young as seven years and their desires to look and act alluring.
c. the medicalization of formerly "normal" behaviors among young girls and the prescribing of psycho-active drugs to combat these behaviors.
d. a decrease in the desire among young girls to study "non-feminine" subjects such as mathematics and science.

Hello all. I run a site that benefits greatly from the new post thumbnails and custom taxonomies features in WordPress 2.9, but I am looking for a way to mass edit 1000+ posts using these new features.
I was traditionally putting names in the tags section, but with the new custom taxonomies feature I have started relegating a "people" taxonomy for this use. Is there a way to mass edit posts, or shift "name tags" into the people taxonomy?
Also, I would like to mass apply thumbnails to many posts at a time. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks for any and all help!

Good game
There are endless puzzles. Just wish they would update the word lists with more Christmas words and delete words that aren't so holiday-themed like corn dog. More x-mas words please!

Letters from South Sudan
Today's letters come from two sisters serving in different parts of South Sudan. As both letters reflect, even in peaceful areas violence is affecting people as they travel, work, go to school and try to live their daily lives.

Hello everybody, I need help
I bought an Xbox just a couple of days ago and I got the x-lite chip with the solderless adapter, I mean the new one, specifically designed for it.
Well, I installed it, all the 5 lights came on on the adapter. I installed the chip with the small wire that connects it to the adapter. I turned the first switch on the adapter's pcb off and also the 2 dip switches on the chip itself.
When I try to boot the xbox it won't load anything. I put the switches on the controller at the end of the cable on the recovery mode and i still have the original dash.
BTW, no lights come on the controller. The chip doesn't have any light on, only the 5 on the adapter's pcb.
Please help, I ran out of ideas...
Thanks in advance!
