Blame It on Winner-Take-All: Why Our Outdated Voting Rules Cause Congressional Crises
by Devin McCarthy, Rob Richie // October 1, 2013 //The United States Congress has careened into a government shutdown, and everybody wants to find someone to blame. But in the accusatory frenzy, they're missing the real culprit: the voting rules that drive the political behavior of Congress.
Cambridge, Massachusetts Voters Elect City Council and School Committee Using Ranked Choice Voting and Multi-Member Districts
by Andrew Douglas // November 22, 2013 //Voters in Cambridge, Massachusetts elected a new city government earlier this month, using ranked choice voting in multi-member districts as they have in every municipal election since 1941. This year's contest provides another illustration of the advantages of this system, including fair representation of minorities, reduced negative campaigning, and greater voter satisfaction.

by Drew Spencer // August 14, 2013 //States and local jurisdictions that use runoff elections with sequential balloting seem to be stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to respecting the votes of their deployed military and other absentee voters.

Just resist the urge. Yes, veluxe pearls are great and yes we all like a little color now and then but honestly ... how often does on use a BOLD green color on the eyes? I have brown eyes and I thought this would be fun but I have used it maybe one time and there are adequate dupes at the drug store for less than half the cost.
I am not one to dodge a great eyeshadow and love many of the MAC shadows, I just feel as though if you are lemming for this one, there could be many others better worth the money.
Lean from my mistake?
I love MAC eyeshadows and this is one of my favourite colours. It looks a lot brighter than it actually looks like when applied on the lid. It's not over the top shimmery but has a lovely sheen and really brings out my brown eyes.
I like to pair it with MAC Naked Lunch and/or Motif with Lucky Green applied in the crease and a bit along the lashline. I finish the look with a deep brown liquid liner and lots of mascara for a fun yet unique look.
I find it lasts for most of the day but like most shadows with this texture, it does crease after a long day. (a good primer helps of course)
Love, love this colour!

Amazing! I love this colour and its beautiful pigmentation! It's a Georgeous golden green colour with, luckily, no big chunks of glitter as it is a veluxe pearl finish. Very 'creamy' and goes on nicely. Definitely a good buy!

This is a meduim vibrant green with gold shimmer and a veluxe pearl finish.
I like the vibrancy of this colour I can build it up to be a crazy green! Lol. Def good for adding a pop of colour.

I love green in any shade! Lucky Green is no exception. Lucky Green looks a bit bright in the pan but on my skin (NC40) it makes my eyes look awake. On me, LG is a warm toned shimmery light grass green. I love using LG when I want a change from my usual neutrals but still look appropriate for work/day time. I use LG very conservative by applying to my lid up to the crease area and blending a eggshell high light shade up to the brow bone. I like to finish the look by lining with a brown liner and topping it off with 2 coats of mascara. I find this particular shade is nicely pigmented and blends on the lid with ease.

Let me begin by saying I'm a total neurals girl, but I also LOVE greens -- like humid and sumputous olive... So after the MUA at the MAC counter suggested this, I bought it hesitantly. It has been sitting in my palette for quite some time and I decided to give it a try. LOVE this green -- well, I would call it a chartreuse. It is pigmented, smooth, and blends well. My favorite way to wear it is lucky green on the lid, humid in the crease, and vanilla to highlight. I took off one lippie because I think this shade lacks a lot of versatility. I like e/s that can go with many different looks and I feel like this is a one-trick-pony. Check out my blog for pics:

Wow I love this green. It matches so many colors. Not only greens,but golds, browns and taupe colors. I also love red lipstick. So i want to wear that too. (i don't think this colors suits red, and i think the colors are to bright together) But if i didn't than i would be wearing this every day. I love the combo with woodwinked. Give it a try. Best green ever.
Lucky Green is a gorgeous golden lime green color that leans more golden on my skin. It has some shimmer to it and has the same quality as most other mac eye shadows so it blends smoothly on me and lasts a long time. It's also pigmented but I really have to pack it on to make it appear more green than gold. It is an amazing color and worth checking out but I personally wouldn't repurchase because I don't use it much. I have to mix it with another eye shadow most of the time to keep it from washing me out and looking kind of sickly. When I do use it it's typically close to the base of my eye lashes on the top eye lid.
Edit: I have decided to purchase Lucky Green again if I ever run out. I still don't wear it on it's own but I am in love with the color I get when I use it with gorgeous gold mac eye shadow. I use gorgeous gold on my eye lid then apply Lucky Green over top of that and use Stila golightly above it and into the crease. Gives a beautiful glowing greenish gold color. Now I love this eye shadow for that reason alone and have upped my rating.

I adore green eyeshadows, and Lucky Green is one of my favorites. It's a yellow-tinged green that resembles a shamrock (hence the name). The finish and texture are superb. My favorite thing about the eyeshadow is just how wearable it is. Even though it's green, it's not too intense and can incorporated into an everyday look.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This was the first MAC eyeshadow I tried and I loved it from the moment I saw it. It's a beautiful bright yellow-green that can be applied as a soft wash with a fluff brush or packed on with a more dense brush for stand-out color.
It's extremely soft, applies evenly, and blends really easily. The color is really unique and I've found it to be surprisingly easy to wear with a variety of other shades.
I took off one lippie because it does fade throughout the day, so I start out with bright shiny green and end up with a soft matte grass green, but both shades are beautiful. It's a unique color that I reach for way more than I thought I would and it's now one of my favorite shadows. I'd definitely repurchase!

FRENCH LICK, IN (May 18, 2012) – Recognition on Condé Nast Traveler's Top Spas List is an honor for any resort, but it's an even greater accomplishment when a destination makes the list twice.

The old-word style extension of the hotel houses 12 treatment rooms, a fitness center an indoor lap pool.
Tranquility is re-defined at the 27,000 square foot Spa at French Lick, with roots tying back to the turn-of-the-century.

BA in Liberal Arts with Major in English and Communications
The English and Communications program at East-West University is designed to develop the student's ability to communicate effectively. The program concentrates on reading, writing and analyzing. In the introductory courses students develop the skills of listening, perceptive reading, clear writing and effective speaking. In advanced courses, students develop an ability to read and write with an increased awareness of structure, substance and style; sophistication in expository and creative writing; a sense of literary and film history and genres; an ability to argue persuasively; and an appreciation of differing values in visions of human existence.
The program has three focuses. The first studies literature. Literature courses develop the students' analytic and interpretive skills. The courses allow students to look at the world through the eyes of other people, other cultures and other time periods and to clarify their own responses to the world. Students should leave the program with a firm grasp of historical and critical principles and with the ability to examine the values expressed in literature. The second focus is pre-law. These courses help students interpret and create rational and persuasive arguments. The third focus is professional communications. These courses prepare the students to design and present documents both in print and in other media. They develop the students' skills in arguing persuasively for a variety of audiences and in a variety of styles.
A background in English and Communications prepares students for a number of related fields including: Graduate study in language, literature, communication theory, journalism, management and teaching The law Teaching professions Editing, journalism, public relations, technical writing and copywriting for an advertising agency Creative writer
Students who wish to focus on literature must take: Five courses from the following group:
EN205, EN210, EN211, EN212, EN213, EN215, EN249, EN251, and EN260 Five courses from the following group: EN301, EN311, EN312, EN313, EN321, EN322, EN323, EN341, EN342 and EN350 EN406 and four other 400 level courses in English and Communications

Mayflower, Library of Congress Photograph Collection |
It Could Happen
Descendants include Catholics, Protestants, Jews, Mormons and members of other faiths. They come from all walks of life, rich, middle class and poor, teachers, preachers, lawyers, doctors, nurses, truck drivers, postmen, businessmen and women, secretaries, police officers, pilots, librarians… There are black members, an airline stewardess whose mother is Japanese, Indians who trace their ancestry to both the Pilgrims and the Indians who greeted the Pilgrims on arrival in this country.
There is an historical circumstance, known to few, that connects the children of the Puritans with these Africans of Virginia, in a very singular way. They are our brethren, as being lineal descendants from the Mayflower, the fated womb of which, in her first voyage, sent forth a brood of Pilgrims upon Plymouth Rock, and, in a subsequent one, spawned slaves upon the Southern soil…" Nathaniel Hawthorne by Harold Bloom; page 55.
According to Caleb Johnson, "there were no blacks on the Mayflower."
The first black person known to have visited Plymouth was 30-year old John Pedro, presumably a servant or slave, who stopped at Plymouth in 1622 before heading on to Jamestown, Virginia. There are no records of any blacks living in Plymouth Colony until 1643, when an individual referred to simply as "the blackamore" is listed as one of the men between the ages of 16 and 60 who was capable of carrying arms in the defense of Plymouth (think of it as the first Selective Service list in America). The next mention of a black in Plymouth records seems to be a 1653 court record mentioning a "neager maide servant of John Barnes" who testified on her master's behalf in a lawsuit against John Smith. During the King Philip's War of 1676, a black named Jethro was captured by the Indians, but taken back by the colonists a few days later. In a subsequent court action, he was ordered to be a servant for two more years and then he was to be freed. Plymouth, for the most part, had servants [indentured servants] and not slaves, meaning that they usually got their freedom after turning 25 years of age. (Information from Caleb Johnson's MayflowerHistory.com. http://www.mayflowerhistory.com/index.php)
In exchange for passage to America, the service of poorer white people was sold to the "planter class" for a predetermined number of years. Upon arriving on the shores, the ship captain (or agent in charge) sold these passengers to the highest bidder based on household and planter's needs.

The Atlanta Journal Constitution writes that the only way to change the culture of corruption and enact meaningful reforms in Washington will be by sheer force via grass roots pressure.
Rich Lowry, editor of the National Review, makes an amusing Freudian slip in his column today on the Abramoff scandal. He writes:
Watch out! While federal investigators are steadily pulling the lid off the sewer that is Washington politics, exposing every sleazy and slimy practice you can imagine, a strange coalition of battle-weary journalists, slick DC operators and ethically-challenged ex-Congressmen are starting to hit the media with a dangerous message. They want to quell rising public demand for real change, which is the natural response to the corruption we're seeing as the full workings of DeLay Inc. are laid bare.
Louisiana Republican Rep. Jim McCrery says it's likely Bob Ney will be indicted.
It's news when someone states the obvious?!?
Here's the AP story.
Embattled Rep. Tom DeLay decided Saturday to give up his post as House majority leader, clearing the way for new leadership elections among House Republicans eager to shed the taint of scandal, two officials said. [...]
Embattled Rep. Tom DeLay decided Saturday to give up his post as House majority leader, clearing the way for new leadership elections among House Republicans eager to shed the taint of scandal, two officials said.
A Bloomberg.com article links Alexander Strategy Group (AKA "DeLay, Inc."), a Washington based lobbying firm who's pay roll, past and present, is a who's who of former DeLay staff and family members, is linked to "no fewer than" three current ethic/lobbying/campaign finance scandals:
Former DeLay aide Tony Rudy who is a focus of a federal investigation of lobbyist Jack Abramoff.
The conservative National Review's website posted an editorial from its editors this afternoon arguing that DeLay ought not seek a return to the Majority Leader posting he was forced to give up and that "Republicans underestimate the potential impact of the Abramoff scandal at their peril."
Here's an interesting insight:
From the National Journal Early Bird News:
Courts: Abramoff Cuts Deal; Subpoenas Issued In DeLay Case

� Could you imagine a Cornhusker football player with the name of Corn Elder?
The Nashville Tennessean reported that the running back from Ensworth High School in Nashville is weighing nine major-college offers, including one from Nebraska.
Several fellow students, known as the cornmen, have begun wearing those crazy plastic cornhead hats that a few Husker fans wear at games.
Corn, whose formal name is Cornelius, said he is honored. "I guess everybody likes it, and they get a good laugh out of it."
� A pair of Omaha twins were born recently on different days — Sept. 13 and 14.
The children of Jasmine Smith and Dareius Brown arrived two hours apart. Ma'Layah Brown was born at the Nebraska Medical Center at 11:06 p.m. on the 13th, and her brother, Mario Brown, was born at 1:19 a.m. on the 14th.
The baby girl weighed 4 pounds, 15 ounces, and her younger "little brother" then hit the scale at 7 pounds, 2 ounces. At 2� months old, Jasmine said, their personalities show through.
"Ma'Layah is really quiet," she said, "and Mario wants to pal around."
Dr. Carl Smith, an Omaha obstetrician (he did not deliver Jasmine's babies), said twins typically are born within minutes of each other, but occasionally it takes longer. There is usually no problem, he said, as long as they are monitored closely.
His "personal record" as a physician, he said, came when he lived in southern California. He helped deliver twins 16 hours apart.
Becoming the mother of twins wasn't a shock, Jasmine said, because her aunt, great-aunt and great-grandmother all had twins.
� Chancellor Harvey Perlman on Monday became the Omaha Press Club's latest "Face on the Barroom Floor."
Artist James Horan, who has drawn most of the 135 honorees in a tradition dating to 1971, surrounded the chancellor's face with smaller figures, including Tom Osborne and Bo Pelini.
Osborne is shown waving goodbye as athletic director. Pelini, whom Perlman once asked to calm down on the sidelines, is replying: "I AM calm!"
Among other things, the drawing shows comedian Larry the Cable Guy in his Memorial Stadium skybox and Tommy Lee, who filmed the "Tommy Lee Goes to College" TV reality show at Nebraska several years ago, playing his drums.
At the Monday event, roasters aimed humorous gibes at Perlman, and he responded in kind.
He recalled that before he and University of Nebraska President J.B. Milliken held their current positions, they would go to lunch and gripe about their bosses.
Milliken, one of the roasters Monday, is now Perlman's boss. The chancellor said he goes to lunch with others, "but the conversation is exactly the same."
� The Rev. Dave Korth of the St. Augustine Indian Mission in Winnebago, Neb., said he is nervous but excited about being invited to play his flute tonight at the Orpheum Theater.
Brule', the Native American musical group, asked him to play at 7 p.m., before their concert.
The priest took up flute three years ago and has produced two CDs of haunting tunes, which he said are like healing prayers.
Korth, an outstanding athlete when he grew up in Randolph, Neb., is not American Indian, but he loves the culture and the people. Last month, he and 30 others who live on the Winnebago reservation or have ties to it flew to Rome for the canonization of Kateri Tekakwitha as a saint in the Catholic church.
"She is the first Native American from North America to be canonized," Korth said. "It was wonderful."
� The Independent newspaper of London this month included Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha among the "artistic exclamation marks" of America's heartland.
The Joslyn, the article said, "surveys the fields of Nebraska from a pristine 1931 Art Deco structure, combining Renoir and Monet with Native American painting and sculpture."

text: The 10 Most Innovative Video Games of 2011 Some of this year's very best gamesUncharted 3, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Battlefield 3are artistic triumphs with new gameplay options. But it's hard to call them innovative: Their basic story lines and shooter mechanics are well-established. Yet 2011 was a milestone year in innovative games, thanks in large part to the diversity of new platforms: Devices like the Nintendo 3DS finally hit their stride, indie developers offered great downloadable games, and my top pick runs in a browser tab on your computer. By John Brandon Email Comments 0 Share Back 8 of 11 Next Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Return to Gallery Back Next View Thumbnails Catherine Platform: Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation 3 Easily one of the strangest and most innovative games of the year, Catherine is an artistic and gameplay tour de force, even if it might be a bit too sadistic for some gamers. You play as a man in his underwear carrying a pillow, climbing over blocks and collecting coins. At first glance, Catherine seems like a puzzle game for adults: Your character has to pull blocks into position to create steps. As you progress in the game, you'll find traps (like spikes that knock you off the square) and springs that propel you up a few levels. There are also monsters that harass you as you climb and, in the final level, can even change the blocks as you climb up higher. Thankfully, you can use coins to unlock power-ups. But there's another layer: Video cut-scenes tell the story of a programmer who has nightmares about his girlfriend, an illicit relationship, and horrific murders. In each level, something from these anime clips usually appears as a monster trying to dissuade your progress. No doubt, Catherine is bizarre. But it's unusual mixture of complex story line and frantic gameplay makes Catherine one of the most interesting games of the year. (Warning for parents: The anime has partial nudity.)

House Approves Debt-Ceiling Hike Without Conditions
House Speaker John Boehner let Congress vote on a measure to extend the nation's borrowing authority without any spending conditions -- an unequivocal victory for Obama.
House Speaker John Boehner let Congress vote on a measure to extend the nation's borrowing authority without any spending conditions -- an unequivocal victory for Obama.
The House passes a nearly $1 trillion farm bill that cuts food stamps and ends a direct subsidy to farmers, while expanding government-backed crop insurance programs.
In an almost annual ritual, Congress is letting 55 popular tax breaks expire at the end of the year, creating uncertainty for millions of individuals and businesses.
Stocks sank Monday as Wall Street worried that Washington's budget fight could lead to something far worse for the economy -- a failure to raise the nation's borrowing limit.
Food for thought: Congress passes a bill gutting food stamps and giving huge subsidies to big agriculture.
A top Consumer Financial Protection Bureau official testified before a House committee Tuesday about why the agency is gathering financial data on millions of Americans.
It has been a long, confusing summer for the federal budget: The FAA shutdown, the debt ceiling crisis, the Deficit "Supercommittee." But all of that was just prelude to the battles ahead over the 12 major appropriations bills to fund the government's "discretionary" spending.
A study published this year found that stocks purchased by House of Representatives members from 1985 through 2001 "earn[ed] statistically significant positive abnormal returns," outperforming the market by more than six percentage points a year. And senators, it appears, have done even better.
Unless Republicans and Democrats can agree on budget legislation to keep the federal government running, a shutdown at midnight Friday looms. From a political and financial perspective, if that shutdown happens, there will be a few clear winners, some who break even, and a whole lot of losers. DailyFinance breaks it down:
Approximately 60% of first-year U.S. senators and 40% of House of Representatives freshmen are worth at least $1 million, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
Republicans in the House of Representatives voted Thursday to eliminate the Obama administration's "car czar," as well as the "pay czar" who oversees compensation at companies bailed out with TARP money, and seven other presidential advisers.

After a revolt by unhappy Democrats, the tax bill has finally passed. The Obama tax cut compromise extends Bush-era tax reductions on income, capital gains and dividends through 2012. But there were also some changes. Here's how the tax bill affects you.
About six in 10 Americans approve of a tax package passed by the Senate on Wednesday that extends George W. Bush-era tax breaks for the wealthy as well extending unemployment benefits and cutting payroll taxes, according to a Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll.
The Senate presented the final price tag of $858 billion for President Obama%u2019s tax deal Republican leaders and began debating the package Thursday night. The Senate aims to vote on the bill Monday, a week after it was first announced, The Wall Street Journal reported. It is expected to clear the Senate, with backers including Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who had previously expressed reservations.
For the ninth year in a row, nurses topped the list of professions that Americans consider the most ethical, according to a new Gallup poll released Friday.
While most people support extending at least some of the George W. Bush-era tax cuts due to expire this year, a new Gallup/USA Today survey finds that Americans are deeply divided on which cuts should continue -- and for how long.
A Congressional hearing on whether Rangel committed financial and fundraising misconduct began Monday.
Grab a cup of java and listen to this short video of Hilary Kramer, respected investment adviser and editor of GameChangerStocks.com. Now that the elections are over and the Republicans have control of the House of Representatives, Kramer says that trillions of dollars on the balance sheets of corporations will be put to good use. Here's how you can profit.
The money-laundering trial of Tom DeLay, former U.S. House majority leader, opened Monday with prosecutors accusing him of illegally channeling corporate money into Texas legislative races.
In testimony before Congress Thursday, Johnson & Johnson's CEO apologized for the problems that have beset his company, including the quality issues with its children's medicines and the "phantom recall" of a batch of Motrin. He also said new batches of its children's medicines should start shipping next week.
China denounced a bill passed by the U.S. House of Representatives that aims to push up the value of the Chinese currency. The bill, which would let U.S. companies petition for duties on Chinese imports to compensate for the impact of the weak yuan, would hurt the global economy if it became law, the Chinese government said today.
House Democrats may help overrule President Barack Obama by voting to extend George W. Bush-era tax cuts on investment income beyond this year, the Associated Press reported.
The federal government today passed a bill designed to spur small-business lending by providing financial incentives to banks that make loans to smaller companies, marking a victory for President Barack Obama and his attempt to cut unemployment.
The U.S. Senate passed a bill Thursday designed to spur small-business lending by providing financial incentives to banks that make loans to smaller companies, marking a victory of sorts for an Obama administration attempting to show voters it's addressing the public's concerns about the economy
Last week's employment report was disappointing: Employers cut double the number of jobs expected, added fewer new ones than predicted, and even temp job numbers fell to a loss. Is this a trend or an anomaly?
A bill that passed the House of Representatives on Friday would, among other things, eliminate the $75 million cap on liabilities related to oil spills. The overhaul of the nation's offshore drilling regulations would require oil companies to pay the full cost involved with any spills.
In a move that even elected officials admit is little more than a marketing ploy, the Massachusetts State House of Representatives approved a bill that will change the names of Bridgewater, Fitchburg, Framingham, Salem, Westfield and Worcester state colleges to universities.
The House of Representatives has passed the "SPILL Act," which -- if also passed by the Senate -- will allow families of men killed in the Deepwater Horizon accident to sue BP for normal damages. Under current maritime law, BP might get away with payments as low as $1,000 per death.

Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE - A Tuesday afternoon fire heavily damaged a Lawrenceville home, displacing an adult and two children.
Firefighters responded to the home on Shady Cove Lane at 2:25 p.m. and had the blaze under control just after 3 p.m., an official said. Fire crews found the home's garage and main-level in flames on arrival. The fire then extended to the home's second floor and attic before firefighters could control it, said Gwinnett County Fire Department spokesman Lt. Thomas Rutledge. No one was home at the time of the fire and no injuries were reported, Rutledge said. Initially, a 911 caller reported smoke and flames coming from the garage of the two-story house but did not know if anyone was inside. The fire caused extensive damage and sent smoke and heat throughout the structure. The cause of the fire is undetermined, Rutledge said.More like this story

Plasma Active - a New Approach to Tablet Computing
Share, Like, Connect
Another new feature in Plasma Active is the presence of Share, Like and Connect buttons in the top panel. These make it easy to share content instantly, such as images, to social networks or on-line storage; "like" things on either social networks or locally (for example, bookmarking a page); and connect things together, such as linking a document or a page to the current Activity so that it always will be readily available in the future. This way, if you want quick access to an image, just click the Connect icon to add it as a widget on the desktop of the present Activity.
Figure 7. You easily can associate a file or Web page with an Activity by using the Connect button.
Open for Business
Plasma Active has been unusual among KDE projects due to the heavy involvement of companies from the start. Among these, basysKom has employed developers to work on Contour, the combination of Activities and Recommendations at the center of the user experience. Marco states that "everyone from the community is welcome to join and contribute, just like any other KDE project—companies are members of the community as well and are helping in many tasks (also the less fun ones in order to give to it the level of quality needed for an actual product)". Companies also are making it easy to try Plasma Active, with live images provided by basysKom and open-slx (see the Try Plasma Active Two sidebar).
Life after MeeGo
In the past, a large part of KDE's focus in the mobile space has been on MeeGo-powered devices, particularly those created by Nokia. However, the decision of Nokia to use Windows as the base for its smartphones and Intel's subsequent dropping of MeeGo in favor of its collaboration with Samsung, Tizen, has changed things. These changes do not, however, unduly concern the KDE developers. Aaron points out that "Plasma Active is not welded to any one OS and is highly portable", and indeed, there are "images with OpenSUSE, MeeGo and Mer kernels and userlands beneath the Plasma Active UI".
ARM devices running Android have proven to be very popular, and Plasma Active also is targeting some of this hardware, with an ARM-ready image already available built on software from the Mer Project. But what about Android itself? It is not presently the most appealing alternative for Marco, who argues that "Android, while released with an open-source license is tightly controlled by Google and doesn't leave much room for a developer community to grow and contribute". He does, however, acknowledge that Android "is a good platform indeed and we don't exclude some integration work with it in the future".
There also are possibilities of Plasma Active or related technologies targeting much more than just tablets. Aaron notes that already "some are running it on handset-style devices", but that "the current user experience has been designed with a tablet in mind". He plans, however, to start working on "interfaces that are designed specifically for other form factors, such as set-top boxes and handsets in the future". A key enabler for this is Plasma's design: "Plasma allows for multiple, and highly diverse, user interfaces without starting from scratch. Plasma Desktop, Netbook and now Active for tablets showcases this very nicely: they are all very different on the surface from each other, but share nearly all the implementation code beneath."
The Future of Plasma Active
Plasma Active is still young software. Plasma Active Two was released shortly before this article was written and is the version discussed here. Plasma Active Three is expected in summer 2012 and "will be focusing on new major feature and application introductions", according to Aaron. From a purely end-user perspective, the limited number of touch-friendly applications means Plasma Active is not ready yet. Nonetheless, it is well worth trying out and could become compelling by the time of its third release later this year. It already feels more polished and complete than any of the MeeGo tablet pre-releases.
There are other reasons to get excited about Plasma Active. For Marco, the motivation for starting work on Plasma Active had "different reasons, both purely technological and social ones". The social ones are perhaps best summed up by Aaron: "right now, there is too much focus on created devices that serve the owner of the application store and focus on consumption of new devices just for the sake of the newness of the device", something he believes has "largely stalled progress".
Aaron sees a different future for Plasma Active and those who choose to contribute to or use the software: "We should be looking at how to support people's lives and in doing so make them better. This needs to be done in a socially responsible manner, which means free and open-source software as well as open processes must drive the development. This is the point and purpose of Plasma Active."

We also have MsAccess97
We also have MsAccess97 around for one of those reasons. That reason is older webapps and older databases. Many companies don't want to pour resources (read money) into auto tools updating the software. While I understand having had to support such apps in the past, the risks with not upgrading are far more expensive. How many companies have policies, procedures, and filtering software setup explicitly to protect their computers from malware that affects IE7 but not newer browsers?

I was just surfing through the web and found this amazing strip bar girls app.
I will really recommend it to all the folks out there.
Excellent tech and great quality girls dancing for you on your desktop whenever you say so.
Take a look guys. You won't believe your eyes.
Plasma Active appears to be a
Plasma Active appears to be a solution to an issue I've been faced with. I'm currently in flight school. I been looking for a way to use my flight simulator training software on a big screen. This is awesome!
looking forward to it.
I have been looking at tablets for a while now, but I haven't been happy with the offerings from Apple or Android. I am thinking of getting an Archos 101 9G just to load Plasma Active. It looks beautiful and I am now using Activities on my Desktop after reading this.
I have to say, I've been reading a bunch of KDE haters on these Plasma Active sites and I have to say, Where's the Gnome offering?
Installing the GUI
I have read many articles on various graphic user interfaces used on tablets, but my question is simple - how do you actually install on the tablet. I have tried running ubuntu from an image on an android tablet on top of the android, and vncviewer to access it, but I would like to install a complete arm os on the device. Any help would be appreciated, I keep on drawing at straws and losing.
Kind regards, adonai
there is more for changing
I own an hp touchsmart tm2 tblet laptop which has a nice touch screen and did test this thing. Despite the buggy behaviour of the underlining os for which the kde community is not accountable, I found the concept and everything unintuitive and ended with a panefull skin of my pointing finger due to repeatedly have to pull down the applications's screen. Closing our ecpanding windows were a pane too, and I had to use the stylus. Moreover, the very small default character and icon sise seemed to have been chosen by peopel suffering from hypermyopia. By the same time I tested the x86 android 4.x and everything went smoothly, regarding the interface.
Activies Works
I, like many others, was confused about activities until one day I sat down and figured it out. Now, i can't do without it.
I have an activity for my weather with browser window showing local doppler radar and hurricane tracking site since this is Florida along with the 7 day forcast.
Another activity is for my flightgear flight sim where I have 3 sections of the screen.
One window has fgrun to start the sim and one has blender where I create objects for it and konqueror for copy files after creation and also use as web browser if i need FG related materials.
If i were a programmer, i would have my editor, terminal to compile, file manager etc. that i would need to code.
The good thing is that as you start and stop activities, you don't have to waste time for the applications to start, it is all there ready for you. And you can have a large amount of activites defined.
I can see how this is useful for tablets more so than desktops.
Plasma Active is...
simply disgusting.
I really mean it. I don't like KDE but Plasma Active seriously is repelling in more then just one way. If I'd see someone I know using it... I don't know, it'll be like catching someone pick nose and eat what came out but worse.
Plasma Active
Your argument doesn't make sense. What exactly did you not like about it? Or are you someone that hates something you never really use or used?
Full circle
Oh please, when were you born? In the days when people were bigger than their operating systems, they generally chose to organize their work and play in directories. Remember those, in good ole Unix or (gasp) MSDOS? Everything to do with an project (or Activity if you insist) went in one folder. Documents, to-do lists, data, pictures, code, everything in one place where you needed it. It was powerful and simple. As long an application (we called them "programs" then) was on your path, you could invoke it to work on the files right there in your working directory. The minute I saw Windows I knew it was WRONG. Suddenly the focus of activity was no longer the directory. Everything now revolved around the application. The application captures your attention and tries to keep you in its ambit, like shops and malls do. And because the application has no idea where other stuff relevant to the project is, it puts its files in default places, such as folders called "My Documents". I have been endlessly mystified how people could put up for so many years with such a naff idea. It makes no sense to put all data from one application in one folder, ignoring the actual contents of the data. It's like having a dinner party with all chairs in one room, all the tables in another, all the food in the basement, and all the drinks in the atic. Now, with much fanfare, KDE has discovered that it make a lot of sense to organize things around... Activities! Sorry if I'm not quite overwhelmed.
I would like to thank Justin Ryan for sharing his thoughts on th
When I first heard about it, I did not think about it as software discrimination and am glad I had the opportunity to consider that perspective. But like most of the feedback in the comments here, I disagree with Mr. Ryan.
KDE Plasma Active looks great
I must say that KDE Plasma Active is the only tablet interface that I actually like visually and even more so functionally (at least from what I could see from some videos and descriptions of it). I really hope more tablets with it will be vaialable in future. It would especially be awesome if Linux friendly hardware companies like System76 and ZaReason could help make it a success.

What's up to all, how is all, I think every one is getting more from this site, and your views are fastidious in favor of new viewers.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Land Rover Discovery 4 review
Luxurious Land Rover Discovery 4 is fantastic all-rounder that's big, bold and brilliant to drive on and off-road
The fourth-generation Land Rover Discovery may well be the ultimate all-rounder. It mixes a relaxing driving experience with a pair of punchy diesel engines and a cabin that boasts luxury car quality with lots of space and seven seats. Oh, and it's also one of the most capable off-roaders on the planet. It isn't cheap and not sporty to drive like a BMW X5, plus there are doubts over reliability, but this is the Swiss Army knife of cars.
Our choice: Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 XS
Like an action hero, the Land Rover Discovery 4 is rugged and square-jawed. But with jewel-like Xenon headlights, a smart Range Rover-style grille and huge alloy wheels, it's also a sophisticated machine, capable of looking good in a muddy field as well as in a five-star hotel car park. All the panels have tight gaps, and with its chunky, angular proportions has the feeling of a very expensive Tonka toy that makes it more appealing than an Audi Q7.
The Land Rover Discovery is brilliant at easing away the stresses of daily life - it has a soothing ride and precise steering which allows you to place the car accurately on the road. It's not as involving or as sporty as the BMW X5 - the body rolls quite a bit under heavy cornering and it can't disguise its enormous weight – but it does manage to glide over bumps in the manner of a luxury saloon. There's a single 3.0-litre V6 twin-turbodiesel on offer, with a healthy 252bhp on tap. This makes the Discovery good for 0-60mph in just 8.8 seconds. A top speed of 112mph tells you everything about the Discovery's house brick aerodynamics, and when you're up to motorway speeds, that square shape makes for plenty of wind noise. An eight-speed auto makes the most of the engine's mid-range torque, and it kicks down quickly and effectively when overtaking.
Like all Land Rover models, there is a feeling of safety simply from sitting in a car that's so big. But the Discovery backs this up with concrete evidence – namely a five-star Euro NCAP crash test rating and a host of airbags as standard, along with electronic brakeforce distribution. The only potential blot on the car's copybook is reliability. That said, the Discovery 4 managed a respectable 52nd in the 2012 Driver Power survey. However, should any of its complex systems go wrong, you will face big repair bills.
You get a fantastic raised seating position and a first-class cabin. The dashboard has a luxurious mix of leather, wood and soft-touch plastics, plus big chunky air vents. There's lots of room for driver and passengers while hi-tech gizmos like the dual-view centre console screen are desirable. Other options include a set of five cameras that can help you negotiate tight spaces, whether you're in the middle of nowhere or a multi-storey car park. We would skip basic GS models and head for the XS and HSE, which get leather seats, a CD changer, parking sensors, automatic lights and sat-nav. The seven seater layout is easy to operate, and the rearmost seats are big enough for two adults. Fold them all down and you've got an enormous 2,558-litre load area with a flat floor, while the split tailgate makes loading heavy items much easier. Permanent four-wheel-drive and Terrain Response are standard - it features a number of different modes to allow you to tackle snow, deep mud and even sand – making sporty alternatives like the BMW X5 and Audi Q7 look totally inadequate when the going gets tough.
Running Costs
With a kerbweight of around 2,500kg and permanent four-wheel drive, there is only so much a diesel engine can do. Land Rover claims 32.1mpg, but even with gentle motorway runs we reckon most drivers will struggle to top 25mpg. It posts emissions of 230g/km, which when compared with the likes of the BMW X5 3.0d, is quite disappointing. The BMW manages much better figures - 38mpg and just 195g/km of CO2. Tyres will be expensive to replace and servicing will also be pricey.
Disqus - noscript
The Landrover Discovery4 with 19.5 Stars out of 25 attracts a 5 Star rating, yet the Volvo XC60 with 19.5 Stars out of 25 only attracts a 3 Star rating. Coincidently the Landrover Freelander 2 with 15 Stars attracts a 3 Star rating on the main 'in depth' review and 4 Stars in this weeks Auto Express. Am I missing something?
Yes, you're seeing stars. If you want to know how good a car is, go for a test drive yourself.

I have used this tool many, many times to take off axle nuts, lug nuts, break caliper bracket bolts, you name it. If the bolt is tight and hard to get loose, this works great on it. Axle nuts come off quickly, lugnuts also come off quickly. I can remove my truck's lugnuts after they were tightened to 140ft-lbs, it took off the large 32mm nut on the steering to pitman arm joint. I use this tool with harbor freight impact sockets, and also their axle nut sockets. I honestly have never had a fastener that this tool cannot loosen! I have never tried it on cylinder head bolts ... but we'll see :P My only complaints about it is that it's big, heavy and loud. If you're under the car, using this in a tight place or somewhere where sound can bounce back at you, then this will leave your ears ringing. I've had mine for about and year and have had absolutely no problems with it. Works great on rusty bolts, and takes all 1/2" drive sockets and accessories.Oh, it also worked great on my pitman arm puller ... I imagine it might struggle with a ball joint press though.

One description lists 230lb/ft, another 184lb/ft of torque. Both should be enough to loosen lug nuts that were torqued to 105lb/ft of torque a week earlier. This machine could not loosen any of them. Once I broke them loose, the machine worked as a time saver to remove 24 lug nuts from 4 wheels.I can not recommend this as a serious tool for lug bolt or lug nut removal. I will return it for a refund. It does not work well for my needs.

I really wish I would have purchased this thing years ago. After living with it for a year, and rebuilding 2 Volvos, I can say with a good deal of confidence that this impact will do most anything in the field of auto repair that you could run across.Is it good enough to use every day at a shop? Yes.Is it powerful enough to remove frame and subframe bolts? YesIs it controllable enough for 3/8 drive? Yes.

By Savvyg
from Ashburn, VA
Read through the reviews and was a little skeptical because I bought a Sears version of electric impact wrench and it was just worthless. Looked around for an air wrench, but didn't want to deal with a stiff hose and pulling the air compressor from storage and back. This thing has enough power to pull the lug nuts off from my Hyundai Entourage. Before I had to use a cheater bar to get those things off, but with this wrench, it just takes it out like butter. Best $50 greenbacks I spent for my tool collection. LOVE IT!!!!!!
Great tool!
By Mike

This tool is so powerful I have to be very careful using it. I have removed wheel nuts with it that I could not budge by hand with a four way lug wrench. A little heavy but no more than I would expect to get this much power.

I take this along when tractor pulling. Loosens the lugs on the truck and trailer. Comes in handy when working on the tractor. Runs easily on 1200 watt generator. Works as well as any of my air impacts.

I bought this when I needed to remove and refinish a rusted hitch receiver on my 4runner. I found an ad among my many magazines and bought it for less than forty samolians! Worked wonderfully for that job. I have since used it to replace leaf springs on a 75 StarCraft camper. Broke most of the rusted fasteners loose...and what it did not, we cut off with an angle grinder. Made re-assembly a breeze!

A good alternative to any air impact
By 65 Mustang Willy
from Platteville, Wi
I've been in maintenance for the past 30 years, and I'm very impressed with the rugged reliability of this impact wrench. It out performs many of the high end pneumatic impacts (Chicago Pneumatic, Atlas, Ingersol Rand, etc) I've used over the years. The only con I can come up with is that sometimes the electrical cord can get in the way, but that is a minor inconvenience.
