I hate my phone
N8 - Symbian
I started my contract on an N900
- a real keyboard
- native ssh, through busybox
- no propitiatory jailing
- a large software repository (esp if I used the .deb repos)
- replaceable battery because this tablet PC's battery life, though long for tables was short for a phone.
- hack my own python apps
The GPRS connection started to fail.
Still under warranty - cool so I returned my device to Nokia for repair.
Nokia felt they were unable to provide the repair quickly so sent me a (new N900 which met my requirements) Oops sorry my mistake their words said will send a similar phone.
Note the N8 has none of my requirements met except it's a phone. I may as well be on a £15 contract as far as my usage goes, and I'm paying much more than that!
Sony Ericsson
Sony Ericsson K530i
simple and smart
Real old fashion
My favorite mobile device is the pay telephone. Unfortunately, they are getting hard to find. Pay as you go, those were the days.
acer netbook + blackberry(work, if it were mine it would be an android), Kindle 3, great for books and having them read to you on a a noisy, crowded train. I will never buy a book for it though. Only use it for the likes of Gutenberg project and library rentals.
Mobile Device
I have a Droid phone and a rooted Nook Color. Having the android app for the Nook sealed the deal for me. I would have preferred paper but at least now I can take LJ to the gym and read on the tread mill! -Rick
Other: "Proprietary" :)
Well, I use Samsung E250, and it has "Proprietary" OS :D
Mobile computing == mobile slavery
A cell phone on vibrate, so I can return the Hell Desk's call and tell them that I'm at a restaurant and so contact someone else.
No phone please.
I use a Zaurus. It gives me a portable command line.
Symbian... pls include that
Symbian... pls include that in the poll
I have an Sony EricssonW810i

nokia classic 6120
Admit prefer replace mobilephone with small laptop running linux which rings when someone calls that can then answer or leave to listen to message later.
mobile "platform"
I want a real keyboard for perl hacking in vi, so I use an HP laptop replacing Windoze7 with Ubuntu. Requires WiFi, but that's been easy to find lately.
Symbian - Nokia N95

Open Pandora
My main mobile system is an Open Pandora. Felt like I should show some love for my system.
mobile platform?
What would I want a mobile platform for?
nokia symbian s60 3rd FP1 :-P
nokia symbian s60 3rd FP1
Java Os
Java Os have application.Then less problem occur on the os. but in other os made some problem on from it made. Like Android want more configure for comfortable usage. symbian apple mobile ok it's comfortable and it have more version because it grandfather for mobile os. Now I Like and use java "Simple make powerful".
Motorola EZX (Linux)
Using Motorola EZX (i.e., Linux-based). Browser, local telnet (to do some minor neat stuff on that limited Busybox-style environment), SSH.
How about Symbian...?
...Ohh yes, the US market, the center of the world...
BTW, Symbian S60, NOKIA 5800
OpenMoko for me
Yep, I've got an OpenMoko. Still works just fine and respects my freedom.
WinMobile and RedFly
Latest experiment is old WinMobile, XV6900 (HTC Touch/Vogue), with Celio RedFly, a netbook-sized dumb terminal for the 6900 - provides 8-inch 800x480 screen and 80% (or so) full-sized keyboard/trackpad (no trackpoint unfortunately), and can charge the phone while connected with USB, or not if using bluetooth. Neat concept.
Tethering any kind of notebook/netbook/tablet on the phone is my alternative scenario (or just the phone by itself to travel really "Spartan" ... for me).
My Phone
I still use my trusty old HTC Wizard with WM (renamed CE Pocket PC Phone Edition, really) 5.0. I have a 10 + year relationship with T-Mo, and a great deal, and I'm not switching unless I have to. i.e. A freakin' T&T takes over.
I use both a WebOS phone and
I use both a WebOS phone and tablet:)
Symbian S60.
Symbian S60.
It's a bit outdated maybe, but there are still tons of Symbian devices out there (mostly Nokia, mostly in Europe) and I'm very surprising that it didn't show up as an option in the poll.
Symbian - Nokia 5230
Symbian 5230, without WiFi or mobile connection :P
Symbiam on Nokia 5800 xpress
I still depend much on the laptop to work.
On the go I just need a small device to receive emails, sync calendar and contacts, call via Skype, and browse a couple of web pages, etc..
...that the Symbian can manage.
It also provides Internet access for the laptop via bluetooth for client presentations.
But next year I shall have buy a ipad or a Android tab for commercial demos...
i don't use mobile phone
i don't use mobile phone. It's dangerous for health
...so, may i use webos?
Palm Pixi+
Wrote a letter before and I like my Palm Pixi+ with WebOS. Doubles as my USB dongle when running Ubuntu without needing an rndis ethernet gadget and misreading the Linux .inf in the programming. As for reading and ePub the screen does well at displaying text and provides a great full functioning keyboard.
My preferred mobile device:
My preferred mobile device: Paper.
Raise the rates and print the magazine!
Star Trek Like Phone
I have a cool cell phone that flips open and closed like a star trek communicator. It also has an alarm clock and an inadequate camera.
Nothing fancy
An old bar phone, an ancient desktop running WServer2003 (hey it was free!) that I've been meaning to convert to doubleboot with Debian as primary, and an old Panasonic Toughbook with no battery.
Symbian 9.3 on a N79
Symbian 9.3 on a N79
Wave II
I'm using a samsung wave II with bada OS.. its just awesome.. great performance... and I am looking at bada 2 release of Samsung... its just as featured as android..
What is your primary mobile device platform?
I have no modern mobile phone. Only my old visor Handspring (tel numbers, few comments) and my macbookpro.
Android Phone AND Android
Android Phone AND Android Tablet
Kindle DXG
My favorite mobile device, aside from my 5+ year old mobile phone which I never use and leave off, is my recently purchased Amazon Kindle DX Graphite.
It's so great to be actually reading whole man pages (after converting them from man2html | ebook-convert to .mobi.)
Digital PDF books are great to read as this thing is so much like paper, I frequently catch myself flipping the h/w over to read the back of the page. Great for reading before bed each night instead of a bright LCD screen.
Only question now is, when will Linux Journal be emailing their PDF subscriptions automatically direct to the Kindle DXG's (and other PDF enabled devices) instead of us manually having to download and copy to our reading devices?
Smart phones
I have a Linux (CentOS) web/mail/ssh/sftp/database/backup/etc server, a Linux (Debian) workstation, a Windows (7) workstation, and a Linux (Arch) laptop.
Oh, and an OpenBSD firewall in a MiniITX system.
As for walkie talkies,
Then I have a "stupid" phone; the older variety that just does phone calls, and wakes me up in the morning. It has a calculator, snake, and some other things. Had it since 2003 and it still does everything I need.
"Smart" phones are dumb. The Linux laptop is much more useful.
mobile device platform
A dumb phone and a pencil+notepad. Glad to see I'm not alone.
Palm Pre Plus
I don't see what's wrong with WebOS, it runs a full Linux and I trust HP more than I do Google, perhaps someone can enlighten me on why this may be a problem.
Have u ever seen a non-palm
Have u ever seen a non-palm device running WebOS?
I prefer the option to switch manufacturers which means Android/WP7/Symbian.
It's not a problem. This
It's not a problem. This poll was posted shortly after HP's announcement that their WebOS tablet would be discontinued, which then prompted a frenzied sell-off at $99 each. I'm quite sad I missed out on that, actually. So, the "ha ha" part was more like "sucks if this is your fav since it was just discontinued." That said, HP is actually planning one more run of the TouchPad in order to meet the huge demand created by the price drop, so maybe there's some hope if it is your favorite mobile platform. I hope I can get in on this last run. Who doesn't want a $99 tablet?
Katherine Druckman is webmistress at LinuxJournal.com. You might find her on Twitter or at the Southwest Drupal Summit
Lots of $99 Tablets
Thinking you might want to qualify that with "high quality" - otherwise check out a Craig Android tablet when on sale (about every other week) at CVS drugstores. ;-}

How to Build an Optimal Hadoop Cluster to Store and Maintain Unlimited Amounts of Data Using Microservers
Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.
Some of key questions to be discussed are:
- What is the "typical" Hadoop cluster and what should be installed on the different machine types?
- Why should you consider the typical workload patterns when making your hardware decisions?
- Are all microservers created equal for Hadoop deployments?
- How do I plan for expansion if I require more compute, memory, storage or networking?

This time last year, we babbled a whole bunch about how great Luke Abbott's Holkham Drones album was, and how he was destined for bigger and better things. Well, he's gone and signed to NOTOWN, the label run by fellow digital dadaist Gold Panda.
We're not 100% sure if this is an upgrade or downgrade from legendary James Holden's Border Community, but regardless, his new stuff sounds like another leap through that wormhole of warm lush analogue synths and dusty digital beats. DiS is as pleased as punch, to premiere the brand new EP from Luke Abbott. It's called Object Is A Navigator and it's released on 12" vinyl and digitally on the 10th of December 2012 on NOTOWN Recordings
Pre-order your copy from NOTOWN's store now
p.s. If you've somehow not heard it, read how awesome Holkham Drones is here and here, and then read our interview with him here.
p.p.s. did you know Hayden from Wild Beasts is also a big fan? Now there's a collaboration we'd like to hear in 2013!

New to scanning - need advice.
September 30, 2010, 09:08:08 PM »
Hi all,
I recently purchased a plustek 7400 35mm film scanner and use vuescan pro.
I have calibrated the scanner with a Wolf Faust it8 target (my film of choice is Provia 400x).
The main issue is not colour - colour is actually fine. The issue is inconsistency in image brightness and contrast.
I believe calibrating and then locking "RGB Exposure " (which I assume is gramma) at the exposure at which you have calibrated.
The problem is White and black points consistently change and I can not match the contrast of the original image.
I have had some luck by setting white and black point using the it8 target (using the defined white and black points on the chart) and then locking colours. I am still finding I am having to compress the far left and far right levels by about 20 "points" on each side in photoshop though.
Any advice would be appreciated.
FYI, I tend to like the colour casts that appear on film, so my only real issue is matching brightness and contrast!
Best Regards,
Jonathan Ratzlaff

I have had the best results by setting the black point in the scanning software to approx .1% and the white to zero so there is no adjustment for highlight and contrast in the scan. A scan should look flat to ensure that all possible detail has been picked up by the scanner.
With scanning slide film in vuescan you set the colour to neutral and ensure that the exposure does not clip the highlights. With transparency film I don't ever recall setting the actual transparancy type as my results were always worse than selecting just image.
I take it that your monitor is calibrate; scanning transparencies this is more important than calibrating the scanner at least for my taste.
You need to determine whether the contrast you see in the film actually represents the scene. Remember slide film has an exposure latitude of about 5 stops. When you talk about white points, what white point are you setting to? Same with black. If you want to have detail in both the highlights and shadows you need to be judicious in what you set your black and white points at.

I'm not sure I completely understand what you are doing, but I don't think "locking exposure" should be part of your process, because different images require different exposure. The profile simply helps to assure that whatever your exposure, what you see on your colour-managed display should be reproduced in the file generated from your colour-managed scanner, provided the pre-scan shows the impact of the exposure adjustment you make in pre-scan mode. Profiling scanners for the shadow areas can be difficult. I agree with Jonathan's point to avoid clipping highlights and shadows at the scan stage. It is very difficult to match the appearance of a slide and a scan of the slide because there is no luminosity management of the conditions in which you are viewing the slide outside of the scanner, unless you do a lot of work on the profile to get the result to match a very consistent slide viewing condition, such as from a light table whose lighting remains pretty constant. You may wish to consider downloading a demo version of SilverFast Ai6 for that scanner, obtaining one of their scanner profiling targets for the film of most interest to you and use it to generate a custom scanner profile using their Auto-IT8 feature. See whether that helps. It may be useful for you to read a couple of my recent articles on this website which describe this profiling process and its outcomes in some depth.

Unless all you are shooting are IT8 targets under controlled conditions, you'll probably need to set your white and black points image-by-image. Each image is usually a little different than the next unless you are working in a studio shooting the same subject and the same lighting.
Try running a pre-scan and set your black and white values and give it a try.

There are two approaches to scanning film: set input parameters for each and every image, or, when using a profiled scanner and scanning chromes, set the scanner to the input parameters used when making the scanner profile & scan in 16-bit color (see info
), then making the appropriate adjustments in Photoshop.
When scanning film negatives, the DMax & DMin varies too much to use a single input parameter setup.

What you might try to verify is if the end points are being analysed with or without the image being cropped as this also plays a huge role in the result.
It would be best to crop the image then get the end points set. This may also give you inconsistent results depending on the density of the darkest point in the image.
Then a greyscale alongside may help you.

The main thing to worry about in a scan is to enure that as much data from the image is captured in the scan. A scan from a negative should look really flat, as the Dmax of negative film is considerably lower at 2.5 than for example veliva which is somewhere about 3.8- 4.
For scanning slides, for my results, I have found that setting the software (vuescan) so that the clipping levels for highlights are at .01 and the clipping levels for shadows is 0. That seems to give me the broadest dynamic range in my scanner.
All final adjustments are done in the editing software.
The output may not be what you expect and with negatives it will be flat. Images should be scanned at 16 bit; this is especially critical with negatives as that 2.5 dynamic range has to be expanded to give you the desired contrast. There are two images, the basic raw scan and the second with rough adjustments. The scan was from kodak portra 160nc so the negative contrast and saturation are quite low.
Negatives are way harder to scan than transparencies as the slide gives you a reference point to work from. A good scan from a slide should be slightly lower in contrast than the original scan, at least from my experience and depending on the original exposure.

Continuing to develop what organizers hope will become a new May tradition for the Scotland County area, the second annual Chalk Banks Challenge is set to kick off under blue skies this Saturday at 10 a.m at the Chalk Banks Access Area of the Lumber River.
The Challenge, which will feature canoe and kayak races, will be highlighted by an increasingly popular homemade raft race.
"We are getting word that a number of rafts are already to go into the water," says Cory Hughes, Executive Director of the Scotland County Tourism Development Authority (TDA). "Now whether they can float or not we'll find out Saturday."
A 5k run was also recently added to the end of the canoe/kayak race to create a water/land biathlon for those interested.
Lumber River enthusiast Whit Gibson, who has served as one of the events organizers, emphasized the fun of the event, which drew more than 400 to the banks of the Lumber River last year.
"The Lumber River is a great river, and it looks clear for the weekend," said Gibson, who expects as many as 500 to attend this, the second edition of the Challenge.
Gibson recalls fondly the days when a similar event was held on the weekend of July 4th during the 1970's and 80's.
"It was a great time, and a really big event with many, many people," said Gibson of the celebration, which was for those decades the established Independence Day gathering for people in the area.
He hopes to enroot a similar tradition with the Chalk Banks Challenge, which offers an opportunity for locals to take advantage of what Gibson calls "a wonderful resource."
While dozens are expected to participate in the various races, it is the fun to be had on dry land that is expected to draw the masses.
Food vendors, nature displays and canoe rides will all be available to attendees and kids can even try their hand at fishing.
"It's a fun, free day to spend with your family outdoors," said Hughes.
There will also be live music throughout the day.
"We want the people of Scotland County to recognize the beauty of the river and the fun that can be had there throughout the year," Gibson added.
In what will be good news to those with homemade rafts of dubious constitution, the weather forecast is ideal for this year's event.
To get to the Chalk Banks Access Area, from Laurinburg take U.S. 401 North 10-miles to Wagram, the park entrance will be on your left – ¼ mile past Wagram.
For information on the canoe, kayak and biathlon races, please contact Mickey Turlington of the North Carolina Canoe Racing Association at 910-904-1578 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com
For raft or overall event information, contact the Lumber River State Park at 910-628-4564 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com and visit www.chalkbanks.com

Welcome to the website for IFL 2010, the 22nd Symposium on Implementation and Application of Functional Languages.
After a first successful visit to the USA, the Symposium on Implementation and Application of Functional Languages returns to Europe for its 22nd edition. The hosting institution is Utrecht University in the Netherlands, although the conference itself will take place in the ornithological theme park Avifauna in Alphen aan den Rijn, situated conveniently close to Schiphol (Amsterdam Airport). The symposium dates are September 1-3, 2010.
The goal of the IFL symposia is to bring together researchers actively engaged in the implementation and application of functional and function-based programming languages. IFL 2010 will be a venue for researchers to present and discuss new ideas and concepts, work in progress, and publication-ripe results related to the implementation and application of functional languages and function-based programming.
Following the IFL tradition, IFL 2010 will use a post-symposium review process to produce formal proceedings which will be published by Springer Verlag in the
Lecture Notes in Computer Science series
. All participants in IFL 2010 are invited to submit either a draft paper or an extended abstract describing work to be presented at the symposium. At no time may work submitted to IFL be simultaneously submitted to other venues. Here we follow the ACM Sigplan republication policy as defined
. The submissions will be screened by the program committee chair to make sure they are within the scope of IFL, and will appear in the draft proceedings distributed at the symposium. Submissions appearing in the draft proceedings are not peer-reviewed publications. After the symposium, authors will be given the opportunity to incorporate the feedback from discussions at the symposium and will be invited to submit a revised full article for the formal review process. These revised submissions will be reviewed by the program committee using prevailing academic standards to select the best articles, which will appear in the formal proceedings.
Invited Speaker
Johan Nordlander
of Luleå University, the main designer and developer of the
Timber language
, is the invited speaker at IFL 2010. Timber is a functional programming language that draws some of its concepts from object-oriented programming, and has built-in facilities for concurrent execution. The language is specifically targeted at implementing real-time embedded systems.
IFL welcomes submissions describing practical and theoretical work as well as submissions describing applications and tools. If you are not sure that your work is appropriate for IFL 2010, please contact the
PC chair
. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
language concepts
type checking
compilation techniques
staged compilation
runtime function specialization
runtime code generation
partial evaluation
(abstract) interpretation
generic programming techniques
automatic program generation
array processing
concurrent/parallel programming
concurrent/parallel program execution
functional programming and embedded systems
functional programming and web applications
functional programming and security
novel memory management techniques
runtime profiling and performance measurements
debugging and tracing
virtual/abstract machine architectures
validation and verification of functional programs
tools and programming techniques
industrial applications of functional programming
Paper submissions
Prospective authors are encouraged to submit papers or extended abstracts to be published in the draft proceedings and to present them at the symposium. All contributions must be written in English, conform to the
Springer-Verlag LNCS series format
and not exceed 16 pages. The draft proceedings will appear as a technical report of the Department of Computer Science of Utrecht University.
We are extremely happy that
Microsoft Research
is willing to sponsor IFL 2010, allowing us to decrease the participation fee for Master students and Ph D students who plan to attend or present at IFL 2010.
Peter Landin Prize
The Peter Landin Prize is awarded to the best paper presented at the symposium every year. The honored article is selected by the program committee based on the submissions received for the formal review process. The prize carries a cash award equivalent to 150 Euros.

Resources are things that:
- You are awarded by the Narrator.
- Can be accumulated and lost (unlike skills or ability scores).
- Can be spent to get things you want.
So i wondered if there might be any other traits that could use this resource pattern... 2 things came to mind.
The Shadow suggested down time points in the thread on Narrative time, which would be gained for "in between adventures" time, and could be spent on things like Craft and earning money. I really liked that idea, but it didn't get much discussion beyond a couple of posts. Time as a resource would fit in perfectly.
Things i had in mind that you could "spend" Time on:
- Gaining a bonus to Craft checks.
- Using your professional skill to gain Wealth or Reputation. (In the RAW you can only do this upon gaining a level, but as far as i can see this is only a way of representing time having passed...)
- Regaining Conviction? (For long gaps between stories where everything "resets".) Or something like The Shadow's idea of "carousing".
- Research? (Bonus to Knowledge checks.) - Hey you could even spend Reputation in this way too, putting your reputation on the line researching some far-out subject...?
- Magic item creation / spell research / other such things that exist in various settings. (They'd have a cost both in terms of Wealth and Time.)
I'm not sure how this would tie into Taking 20 (for Craft and Knowledge say), it seems to have some overlap.
So, aside from sacks full of gold, etc, one of the basic currencies of reward the Narrator could give would be Time - which the players could then use to gain Wealth or Reputation, or perhaps Conviction. That's one of the ideas here - that a lot of the time these resources are interchangeable, or can be converted into eachother to be used for different purposes.
I'm not sure if it would be useful to think of Conviction in this way, but it certainly fits the resource pattern i described above.
Just thought of one more...
For some kind of alternative advancement system, Experience can be spent to improve your skills, powers, buy feats, etc.

text: Local Hypnotherapy proposes alleviating various stagnating and disagreeable characteristics that impede healthful behavior. The action might be compulsory in nature or a psycho necrotic illness. Perhaps, you have an uncontrollable urge to wash your hands or alcoholism. Compulsive urges can range from simple and evolve into severe psychotic disorder. Local Hypnotherapy uses hypnotic suggestion to treat compulsive illness. Additionally, this type of therapy can be helpful in mild to moderate control of physical or psychological pain. Those educated in hypnotherapy use techniques that maneuver around the sectors of the patients mind that has the capability of thinking, choosing, or perceiving. Without any difficulty, the patient eases unwittingly into a dazed or stunned state, oblivious of the surroundings, and demonstrates ineffectual reaction to stimulation. The techniques for inducing a trance may perhaps vary; however, the process might not be difficult. The patient must focus on an object without concentrating on anything else. Local Hypnotherapy healers have varying styles but the fundamentals will be consistent. Typically, the objects used as focal points consist of crystals hanging from a chain, an object in the room, a lit candle, or anything that you can fixate on. For you to achieve a mental state of consciousness, the Local Hypnotherapy healer guides you into redirecting your unexceptional state of consciousness. This condition of conscious ascension starts calm and the ability to focus on the subject of concern.

+ Two exotic trees on Bird Key to be removed
A Bird Key homeowner, who had threatened to get his lawyer involved if the city did not remove three exotic trees he felt threatened his home, will have two of those trees removed.
David Pilston's battle to get the approximately 80-foot Norfolk Island pines removed was featured in the Nov. 12 issue of The Sarasota Observer.
After that story was published, the city conducted a second inspection of the trees and found that two were decaying and had damaged roots. An initial inspection by the public-works department in early November found that the trees were healthy, and the city has a policy not to remove healthy trees unless they are invasive species.
All three trees sit in Pilston's yard, but are on the public right of way, which the city owns and controls.
He had been asking the city to remove the exotic trees for two years, because he was afraid they'd blow onto his home during a hurricane.
Upon hearing that two trees would be removed, Pilston said he was pleased, because those were the two trees which concerned him the most.
"It's progress," Pilston said.
Bird Key is conducting a canopy-tree program, in which palm trees are being planted along certain streets. Pilston said his street will be involved later this year, and, at that time, he will ask the city to remove the third Norfolk Island pine, so he can take part in the program.
+ Printing error cancels Osprey meeting
Sarasota County canceled the Dec. 1 meeting of the Osprey Revitalization Committee and rescheduled it for Dec. 7. The ORC is scheduled to sunset as an organization Dec. 31.
The county is required to give two weeks notice of a public meeting, such as the ORC's, in the Sarasota Herald-Tribune. County officials say they sent the notice to the newspaper on time, but it was never published, therefore the meeting had to be canceled.
At the Dec. 1 meeting, the ORC board was expected to vote on Anil Patel's development plans for the 14-acre waterfront district.
Patel wants to build a mixed-use project, which may include a 190-room hotel, townhomes, apartments, retail stores and a waterfront restaurant.
The ORC will not be able to give its input on the project before it goes before the Planning Commission Dec. 3.
"Unfortunately, we will not be able to review the current status of the plans before the Planning Commission," said ORC Chairman Rick Noyes.
The Dec. 7 meeting begins at 2 p.m. at Historic Spanish Point, in Osprey.
+ Five Points Neighborhood Association to dissolve
Former mayor and current Downtown Sarasota Alliance board member Mary Anne Servian has announced that the Five Points Neighborhood Association has agree to dissolve and join the DSA.
"It's a huge addition," Servian said.
The Five Points Neighborhood Association has about 400 members, who will now become DSA members.
Servian said Five Points President Andy Frank told her she decided to make the move, because she believed the DSA is a "board of doers," and she feels joining the DSA will give her members more clout at City Hall.
"I think this is astonishing," said DSA board member John Simon.

The days of 'Pass the Parcel' (with just the one present at the end), 'Statues', 'Pin the tail on the Donkey' and a plate of fairy bread are officially over.
It seems children's parties have morphed into a dizzying heights with each party pushing the fun-limits of the one preceding it. Jumping castles, face painting, fairies, and the most perfectly iced cupcakes.
And, if 'Pass the Parcel' is played, there must be a present in every layer. Why? Because we need to teach kids that life is fair and everyone has an equal chance and (more to the point) I really don't want tears and tantrums. I want everyone to be happy and have fun, so everyone opens a layer and everyone gets a Freddo Frog… Life in kids-party world is fair.

Certainly in the spirit of Halloween, but more appropriate for the long-debated Mayan Apocalypse, the American Red Cross of Eastern Massachusetts this week launched a new website that aims to prepare everyone for dealing with the potential rise of zombies, according to a report in the Metro this week.
The website, SavingZombies.com, provides readers with a count-down to the alleged "apocalypse" that some have suggested on the internet is predicted for Dec. 21 by the ancient Mayans (several resources have debunked the myth on the Internet, such as NASA.com; the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, meanwhile, has released tongue-in-cheek "zombie warnings," but has also denied the existence of Zombies, according to The Huffington Post).
Moreover, the SavingZombies site provides tips on how to survive potential natural disasters like hurricanes, floods and/or earthquakes. But the added punch is the website also provides tips on how people can survive in a post-apocalyptic world filled with zombies.
The site also encourages readers to enter a contest by sharing how they would remain among the living:
"The Mayan Calendar end of ages is upon us. Ancient lore predicts 12-21-2012 may mark the beginning of an apocalypse. Will you be prepared? Show us your survival skills by making an American Red Cross Go Bag – a video automatically enters you to win a Red Cross prize."
So, while zombies will undoubtedly be out in full force this Halloween, will you be ready if the real zombies emerge in December? Let us know how you'd prepare for a zombie apocalypse in the comments section below!
5:10 pm on Sunday, October 28, 2012
Sorry to burst your bubble but no Mayans ever predicted the apocalypse, it's just the end of an era marked by their calender. here's a link to a webpage explaining the Mayan Prophecy

When I was a small child I thought all pickup trucks were painted gray and carried on the door a yellow decal with a red devil in the center. I also thought these trucks carried potted meat. As I grew older I found that neither impression was correct; the Union Sulphur Company simply shared its devil's imp insignia with a well known potted meat producer.
The impression was easy to come by because I lived at Sulphur Mines, a self-contained community built on a dome rising up in Calcasieu Parish that was once called "the richest forty acres in the United States."
I lived there in the late 1940s, long after the sulphur mining operations had closed down and the Union Sulphur Company became the Union Sulphur and Oil Company—and before a series of mergers that has now submerged its identity and made it part of a huge corporate conglomerate.
The incredible story of Sulphur Mines was nearing its end when I lived there in a company-owned cottage within walking distance of the long, wood frame corporate office where my dad worked as a petroleum engineer. Huge pumping plants that once brought molten sulphur to the surface were still there, as were acres of yellow-covered pits where the sulphur had been pumped to cool before shipment around the world.
The beginning of the story of how that sulphur got into those pits can be set on Christmas Day 1894, when a handful of men led by a chemist named Herman Frasch and a mining engineer named Jacques Toniette first attempted to melt the sulphur below ground and pump it up, rather than construct a mine to dig it out. Digging had been tried several times, and with fatal results.
The sulphur was discovered in 1850, when the Louisiana Petroleum and Coal Co. drilled unsuccessfully for oil. The well ran into the sulphur 500 feet below the surface, but there were layers of clay, gravel, and quicksand to go through to get to it, and then a layer of limestone.
The quicksand was the big trouble maker.
A French company organized in New Orleans tried to sink huge metal cylinders through it, but they sank out of sight as soon as they hit the sand. The American Sulphur Co. was next to try. That's when Toniette got involved. He had been a blacksmith at a gold mine in Canada. His company was also unsuccessful. That effort was abandoned when five men digging at the bottom of a shaft were killed by hydrogen sulphide fumes.
That's when Frasch got involved. He was a research chemist for Standard Oil Co. and knew about salt mines that pumped fresh water into a bed of salt and brought it back as brine. He thought he could mine sulphur the same way.
He knew that if he could apply enough pressure and heat, he could melt the mineral in the ground and then pump it to the surface. That was the experiment that began on Christmas Day 1894.
His method worked, but required a huge—costly—supply of coal to get water hot enough to melt the sulphur, and another huge investment in air compressors to put enough pressure into the wells to bring the heavy sulphur to the surface. The project all but died for lack of finances.
But when oil was discovered in January 1901 at the Spindletop Field just across the Sabine River from the sulphur dome, there was suddenly an abundant, cheap fuel close at hand.
Using that cheap fuel, the Union Sulphur Co. began to make money--lots of money.
For 11 years the company paid 100 percent dividends on every share of stock, not just once a year, but every single month—plus Christmas bonuses, extra dividends, and all of the taxes in Calcasieu Parish outside of Lake Charles.
When the sulphur mines ended production in 1924, nearly ten million tons of sulphur had been produced there. It took two years to ship the sulphur stockpiled on the ground. The company then turned its attention to producing the oil and gas that were discovered around the flanks of the sulphur dome.
That, too, eventually began to lag, and the company began to expand its oil and gas operations across southern Louisiana. The offices at Sulphur Mines were closed in the early 1950s and moved first to Lake Charles and then to Lafayette. The company maintained cottages there until about 1953 and kept a company store there until about the same time.

Championship Match-Up: Need LINEUP Help
I help a buddy in a $$$ league and we've made it to the championship match this weekend!!!
We have a really, really, really strong team because we traded away our future keepers (Stafford & Forte) for amazing players that can NOT be kept (Brady, C.Johnson, B.Marshall, R.White). Pick FOUR to start this week (CBS projections incl.): 21.15 Johnson, Calvin (DET) vs. ATL 18.65 Marshall, Brandon (CHI) @ ARI 15.05 Lloyd, Brandon (NE) @ JAC 14.15 White, Roddy (ATL) @ DET 13.50 Cobb, Randall (GB) vs. TEN 12.50 Sproles, Darren (NO) @ DAL It is a PPR league where QB TDs = 6pts. I mention this because the biggest dilemma is whether we should start Roddy White. He's been a bit cold lately. However, our opponent's QB is Matt Ryan (ATL)... so starting White is a little bit of a "hedge fund" move against a HUGE potential day by Matt Ryan. Thanks for help!! |
I'm not a fantasy football expert but my general rule is to go with the best players available. I think the CBS projections are correct here. Best of luck!
UHL Calgary Flames 24-team H2H (roto G, A, GWG, SHP, PPP, PIM, +/, SOG, Hits, Blks, FOW, W, SV, SV%, GAA, SO) Capped article archive Montreal Canadiens coverage Twitter:@DH_EricDaoust. |
Start White and Cobb over Lloyd and Sproles. Lloyd's output is far too inconsistent (I know this very well), and Sproles just won't get you that 10-catch, 100+ yards, 2 TDs upside the other two can.
18 team league, keep 12 plus *4 1st/2nd year players (16 total) Points Only (w/ NHL salaries), start 8F/4D/1G Note: Defencemen receive 1 point per 45 mins of ice time. Forwards: Nash, Vanek, Couture, Berglund, Wheeler, Perron, P. Kane, *Baertschi, Semin, *Nyquist, *Atkinson, Tanguay, Cervenka Defense: Ehrhoff, Leddy, Voynov, *Orlov, Timonen, Postma, Brodin, Donovan Goalie: Halak, Dubnyk, Neuvirth |
I would go with these 4:
21.15 Johnson, Calvin (DET) vs. ATL 18.65 Marshall, Brandon (CHI) @ ARI 15.05 Lloyd, Brandon (NE) @ JAC 14.15 White, Roddy (ATL) @ DET I just cant see why I would put Cobb or Sproles ahead of any of these guys.

White has been, bluh lately. But he is due for a bounce back game. And the fact that it's Det means could be a shootout. IMO, all 4 of these guys get targeted way more than the rest of the WR/RB. More targets = more opportunities,whether it be receptions, yds or TDs.

The problem in ATL is that depending on the opposing defense it's possible that a receiver is forgotten for a game. That happened to White vs the Giants. Harry Douglas caught a couple extra passes. But the body of work stands for itself. He is money and is always the go-to guy (along with Tony G) if the team has trouble moving the ball.

So, the totals from 6 replies:
6/6 votes: C.Johnson (LOCK) 6/6 votes: B.Marshall (LOCK) 5/6 votes: Roddy White 3/6 votes: Randall Cobb 3/6 votes: Brandon Lloyd 1/6 votes: Darren Sproles So... it's Cobb vs. LLoyd. Indeed, a tough one. Lloyd, though streaky, has been good recently and the Pats are playing a nice sunny game at Jacksonville. Per CBS: News: New England wide receiver Brandon Lloyd heads into Week 16 at Jacksonville coming off his best game of the season. Lloyd went for a career-high 190 receiving yards last week against the tough San Francisco defense. He faces a Jaguars team in Week 16 that is easier scored upon on the ground than through the air, as they have allowed only one WR touchdown in the last three weeks. Of course, they have allowed four touchdowns in the last five weeks. Analysis: Lloyd actually has a decent history against the Jaguars. He last played at Jacksonville back in 2010 and caught five passes for 117 yards in that game. Lloyd has been anything but a highly reliable Fantasy receiver this season, but does have 17 catches for 279 yards and a touchdown in his last two games. That is just about his best stretch this season. Lloyd has come on strong for the Patriots of late and should be considered a viable Fantasy start in all leagues and formats for Week 16. Cobb has been much more consistent... but it is a cold-weather game in Green Bay against a Tennessee defense that is getting better. Per CBS: News: Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb -- who has had back-to-back 100-yard games, including a career-best 115-yard performance last week at Chicago -- will look to continue the streak Week 16 against Tennessee. The Titans have stepped up on defense lately, ranking fourth in scoring defense (17.6 points per game) and third in total defense (285.8 yards per game) since Week 9, but for the season, they rank only 19th against the pass, allowing 240.6 yards per game. Cobb was limited in practice by a shoulder injury Wednesday, but he is expected to play in Sunday's contest. Analysis: Cobb has been the Packers' most reliable receiver this season, averaging 6.1 catches for 72.0 yards over the team's last nine games. Injuries to other members of the receiving corps have allowed him to be a regular part of the passing game, and with Jordy Nelson still nursing a hamstring injury, that should continue to be the case in Week 16. The biggest concern for Cobb is the frigid conditions for Sunday's game, with the temperature expected to be in the high-20s. But because the winds will be relatively calm and the skies relatively clear, it shouldn't impact his performance too much. As a reliable member of a reliable passing game, Cobb should be active in just about all Fantasy formats. Looking for a few more replies... Cobb or Lloyd? |
Marshall Cobb Sproles White scares me this week. |

Much like the Whitewater scandal, the media have seen one of their own get burned by a source for the sake of the scandal machine, this time by emails reportedly edited by Republicans. Will the press demand accountability this time?
Fox continued its effort to target the Obama administration with manufactured scandals, fearmongering that IRS commissioner Sarah Hall Ingram will use the IRS' authority under the Affordable Care Act to discriminate against conservatives by denying or postponing approval for medical procedures.
Following months of media calls for deficit reduction, cable news channels spent just over 7 minutes reporting on a revised Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projection that the 2013 deficit will decline by more than previous estimates. Broadcast network news evening shows did not cover the new report.
Fox News spent one minute covering the historic legalization of same-sex marriage in Rhode Island, Delaware, and Minnesota over the past several weeks. According to an Equality Matters analysis, the network completely ignored the passage of marriage equality legislation in Delaware and made only passing mentions of Rhode Island and Minnesota's new marriage laws.

"I remember many of people during the time I spent in Crowley...coming here as a young lawyer in 1949, however, most of you here are the children of the people I remember," said Edwards drawing laughter.
"I was driving Trina (his recent bride) around town to show her the town that I loved so much and as she looked around she said 'you never should have left here," he said. "I had to leave...my job took me to Washington and Baton Rouge but I never lost my interest in the rice industry."
"Those of you who are old enough to remember know that in 1969 there was a movement to change the rules and regulations in place that would have devastated the rice industry," Edwards continued. "As a congressman, I approached President Lyndon Johnson, who was a friend of mine, and urged him not to sign this legislation which he didn't. There was never a time when the rice industry was far from my heart."
"I can recall a time when a farmer using a thresher would produce 20 barrels a day was a good farmer. Now with new methods, technology, herbicides and insecticides 45 barrels is a good day," he said. "Rice is the most single important cereal in the world and is very important to the economy of this area."
"I was President of the Rice Festival in 1959 when Senator John F. Kennedy drew over 100,000 people here," Edwards recalled. "In 1968 I was named an honoree due to my contributions to the industry and I never regretted any of it."
"As most of you know I recently spent some time away involuntarily," he quipped drawing another round of laughter. "While I was in prison I got over 35,000 pieces of mail and they all touched my heart."
Edwards then paused for a moment as he got emotional and his voice slightly cracked.
"But none did like the one that said that the people of my hometown wanted me to be the Rice Festival Grand Marshal," he said. "A lot of people raised their eyebrows and said what in the world are those folks thinking. They don't know that your generous, kind, and compassionate. But most of all I like to think that you remember how hard I worked for you when I was in office."
"I hope you all know what this means to me," he concluded. "I'll never forget you as you've apparently never forgotten me."
The crowd responded with a standing ovation.
The 2011 International Grand Marshal's Parade will run Saturday, October 22 at 3 p.m.

September used to mean something. Now, it seems relegated to being just another month on the calendar.
Back in the 1980s, cable TV started branching out into various specialty channels, offering 24 hours of news, sports and weather.
I am getting close to being a half-century away from my kindergarten days, but in some crazy way, I can still remember the songs and activities.
His name was General and he was a palomino horse. Not a pretty golden palomino like Trigger, Roy Rogers' famous horse, but a kind of dull shade of beige.
Of all the seasons, there is something bittersweet about the end of summer. Of course, summer is far from over with the potential of more scorching days in August.
Our society places a high priority on winning. It is a seemingly natural thing to do. Valdosta, which was the home of a perennial championship football team for many years, used to refer to itself as "Winnersville." If your team was not victorious, there is not a lot of curb appeal to a place called "Losersville." The past few days has been a convergence of seasons focused on winning. The Olympic Games, the beginning of ...
In one of my favorite Merle Haggard songs, "Okie From Muskogee," Haggard writes about the local college saying "Football's still the roughest thing on campus and the kids there still respect the college dean."
This is the season of camp meetings, a protestant religious exercise that dates back to the early 1800s when Methodists and Baptists were just beginning to set up shop here in the U.S.

I was born in Atlanta and we lived there until I was 8. I was born in the middle of the time when racial tensions were rising. In my boyhood, the Vietnam War began to escalate and that created a different kind of tension.

I love this country of ours. When I travel through it, I find myself loving it more. I love our flag. When I see those 13 stripes, I think one of them is for my home state and I think that's special. This week, we have a day set aside to honor our flag. June 14 is Flag Day. It is also the birthday of the U.S. Army. As the son of a decorated Army ...
Every now and then, you hear a story about someone who does something exceptionally nice for someone.
In the world of restaurants, there is something special about the original location of unique eating establishments.
College football coaches often find themselves being pitchmen for everything from soft drinks to pickup trucks.
The graduation season is upon us and with it comes songs we only hear at commencement exercises.
At just about every college you can think of, there is a tradition uniquely identified with the football team. Some of them are historic while others are almost hysterical.
It is easy to blame television for a lot of things. We have seen many things that were once taboo become acceptable because we saw them happen on TV.
The folks in Hollywood seem to run short on ideas from time to time. They seem to thrive on remakes of old movies. I saw a story last year that said movie studios were looking at 50 potential remakes.
