Somewhere (maybe here) I read about using a "figure 9 on a bight" (wrap twice around the standing side of the rope before pulling the loop through, instead of once) in situations (eg toprope anchor), because the 9 was easier to untie than the 8 after it's been loaded. Anyone aware of any problems or drawbacks with the figure 9?
Properly called the 'Stevedore' knot. Typically used as a stopper knot on a single rope end. Don't see why it couldn't be used on a bight though.
I use figure 9's all the time when I know it will be weighted. I use it with rope, cord, and dyneema slings. The figure 9 is very popular among cavers who fix and rappel and ascend the same rope. All that weight really cinches a normal 8 tight and the 9 really helps make life easier to untie when tearing down your setup.
Bowline on a bight seems easy to untie...
Interesting. I'd never heard of this knot. I always thought a figure 9 was a climbing move
it works absolutely fine .. cavers use it it wonders for anchors as its easier to untie ... the downside is that it uses slightly more material than a fig8 which uses more material than an overhand ... for skinny slings (which MPers will tell you the many ways to die) it works well its also very easy to tie ... overhand ... twist and put it in the hole fig 8 ... add another twist and put it in the hole fig 9 ... again add another twist and put it in the hole
keep wrapping (figure nine, ten, eleven, so on) it to make it even easier to untie, or to use up more cordage to create a higher master point. Additionally, you can throw a carabiner in the knot itself to make it even easier to untie. The only purpose of the carabiner in the knot is to give you a handle to work the knot loose later (don't clip into it and kill yourself). A good application is when tying knots in dyneema slings.
A figure 8 is easy to inspect. A 9 is harder but if you look at them enough you could see if it is tied right.
alpineinstitute.blogspot.com/2008/11/figure-eight-follow-thr>>> There is some discussion whether the knot will "roll" if you cross load the loop by clipping a q-draw between the loop and a bolt, for example.
Figure-9 on a bight - www.animatedknots.com/fig9loop/ For the tie-in knot, I have also heard the Figure-8 follow-thru with a Yosemite finish being referred to as a Figure-9 (most likely incorrectly). Personally, I now almost always use a Figure-8 Follow-Through with an extra wrap as my tie-in knot.
I use it with webbing because fig 8 tends to make the bight come out at a 90-degree angle to the strand and fig 9 corrects that. Not sure about actual knot strength, but the figure 9 just looks cleaner and loads more evenly

(Update provided by the Associated Press)
Authorities say skeletal remains were found in an old Studebaker believed to be tied to the 1971 disappearance of two 17-year-old girls. Crews lifted the rusted, mangled hulk from an embankment in Brule Creek near Elk Point on Tuesday afternoon. State and local agency leaders say some potential pieces of evidence have been taken from the site and will be processed. They say no other information will be released until an autopsy and more testing is done and the families are told of the results. Investigators say they think the car was driven by Cheryl Miller and Pamella Jackson, who were last seen May 29, 1971, driving a beige 1960 Studebaker Lark on their way to a party. A fisherman called authorities after noticing one of the car's wheels.
By Mark Roper, KSFY TV
There is a major development in a 42 year old South Dakota cold case. Investigators say the car driven by Cheryl Miller and Pamela Jackson on the night of their 1971 disappearance has been found in Union County.The 17-year-olds from Vermillion vanished while on the way to a party at a gravel pit near Beresford. And Monday morning, a fisherman spotted their 1960 Studebaker Lark on Brule Creek. The discovery of the missing girls' car could be the break police and family members have been waiting for more than 40 years.
Neighbor Amy Haneklaus said "I think it's great that they'll possibly finally get some closure and that it can take away a lot of the question about what happened back then, hopefully, and that it is just an accident, tragically."
Haneklaus lives across from Brule Creek where crews attempt to recover the car, the girls were last seen driving, back in may of 1971.
"It's a little surreal, honestly, just to even believe it's all happening, right outside our door and that possibly they could have been there all this time. It's so unbelievable."
And law enforcement tell us they will stay here as long as it takes to recover the car and bring closure to the family.
"I thought it might go a little quicker, that they might just be able to bring the car up but it seems like they're having some issues with that and it's going a little slower than I anticipated."
But finding the car may bring more questions than answers.
"I can't imagine what its like to get that phone call that says we found the car but I'm sure it brings a little peace to their minds." One officer on the scene said removing the car from the creek could take days.

Danger of older people feeling trapped in own homes
There is a real danger of our older people feeling trapped in their own homes, according to new research.
Older people's charity WRVS has found there is not enough suitable transport for thousands of people over the age of 75.
The situation for many has been made worse by recent cuts in transport services. 17 percent of older people here are said to have been hit by the reductions.

Tuesday's game was the first in St. Louis since Cardinals pitcher Darryl Kile was found dead in his Chicago hotel room Saturday during a three-game series at Wrigley Field. Before Tuesday's game, the Cardinals held a brief pregame ceremony to honor Kile that included a moment of silence and a video tribute.
"It was a difficult night with the ceremony and understanding what everybody over there is going through," said Rusch. "I was somewhat relaxed out there tonight and knowing that you're going to go up against Morris, you're not going to squeeze out too many runs so it was nice to keep a zero up there."
Rusch gave up a pair of two-out singles in the second inning but then retired the next 13 hitters before J.D. Drew singled to lead off the seventh. Drew also got a two-out infield single in the ninth for the St. Louis's fourth and final hit.
Rusch's last shutout came two teams ago as a member of the Royals when he shutout Detroit 2-0 on June 14, 1998 at Kauffman Stadium.
Rusch had pitched less than seven innings in each of his past six starts. After a strong April, Rusch went 2-3 with an 8.13 ERA in May and was 1-0 with a 5.01 this month prior to Tuesday's start.
Against the Cardinals, Rusch was fairly economical, throwing 122 pitches (82 for strikes). He faced the minimum in five innings, never allowed a runner to reach third and allowed only one runner to reach second.
"There was a definite noticeable difference in his stuff and the way he pitched tonight," said Royster. "His ball was down and it hasn't been down in along time. He was inside, and he hasn't pitched inside in a long, long time. He was both in and out. He was down but up when he needed to and threw his breaking ball only when he needed to."
"He was outstanding -- Glendon can do that. He can pitch like that. He has not done it in awhile."
The Brewers could use more of that. Milwaukee entered Tuesday's action last in the NL in ERA (4.72). The lack of a stopper is one of the reason the Brewers have already endured losing streaks of four or more games seven times.
"Hopefully, (Rusch) can get on a roll," said Royster. "We really, really need him badly. From the time we traded for him, we've been counting on him."
The combination of an off day Monday and Rusch's shutout give the Brewers bullpen a nice breather.
"I feel like every time I go out there that I want to try and get deep into the ballgame," said Rusch. "All of us guys are young on this pitching staff so anytime we can do that then sometimes the other guys feed off of that and we give out bullpen a break. They deserve it. They've been overworked all year."
One of the chief reasons for Rusch's success Tuesday was his ability to pitch inside -- something he has always known he needs to do.
"I have to be inside there to be successful and when I'm out over the middle of the plate -- when I'm coming there -- I get hurt a lot and that something I have to cut down," said Rusch. "Any time I go inside I need to make sure it is inside. I don't have overpowering stuff to get (my fastball) by people if I leave it out over the plate so it has to be on the corners."
Rusch's shutout wasn't accompanied by the revelry or loud music that accompanies victories in Major League locker rooms, but rather was replaced by quiet conversation.
"My heart goes out to DK's family," said Rusch. "It's a very tough situation, and I understand how much a lot of people are hurting."

Electric Vehicles
Why drive an electric vehicle (EV)?
The typical trip for a shared car is under 4 hours and under 40 kilometers. With a range of 120 to 140 kilometers per charge, the EV is ideal for this type of urban trip. And if you find yourself stuck in a city traffic jam, you'll be reassured that you're never wasting fuel.
Our first EV, VRTUCAR # 2200, is located at the World Exchange Plaza, 45 O'Connor Street, on parking level P1.
The Nissan LEAF
Called "innovative" and "well-executed", the LEAF offers:
Electric Vehicle Challenges
More than ever, members need to plan their route with an EV. The driving range is continuously displayed on the dashboard, but driving on the highway can significantly reduce the range of the vehicle - the opposite of a gasoline-powered car. Using the climate control system can also reduce the range. Selecting "ECO" mode will maximize the available range.
Electric Vehicles also have a special "Green Licence Plate" which allows one to drive in a High Occupancy Vehicle lanes (HOV) - usually reserved for buses, and cars with two or more passengers - even if there is only one person in the vehicle. There is an HOV lane in Ottawa going west to east, on Highway 417 in Kanata and more HOV lanes are planned.
With the price of gas continuing to climb and increasing concerns about the effect of greenhouse gas emissions on the environment, the electric car, and especially the shared electric car, is a good idea now, and for the future.

This fun route climbs a slab to slightly overhung face past 5 bolts to anchors although originally done with only 4 bolts, which made the crux more thrilling. Years later (late 1990's) the FA party added the topmost bolt to make the climb better protected and more accessible for all. It is a little runout at the start and the rating might even be a little sandbag, but hey you're at Josh -- what did you expect?
Just right of Duchess Right.

"I bought these to use as thank-you cards to coordinate with the Sketched Sweetness invitations for my son's baptism. They are both described as the color Aloe, so I took a chance and the colors do match perfectly. I was able to choose the same font on both products which was great. The quality of both the photo and the paper itself were excellent as always."
"It turned out better than I thought! I had them move the text box higher on the page and I changed the ultrasound picture to a color that better matched the card using their system. It makes it personal and makes everyone smile when they see it."
"The photo of my son came out perfectly! I'm so impressed with the detail and I'm looking forward to writing many thank you notes!!"
"I bought these to use as a thank you card for our baby's first birthday. We didn't use the same line for the invites but I loved those too (they were also from here). You get what you pay for! I loved how they formatted the picture it to its best advantage. We've received so many compliments on the invites and thank you cards. Thanks Tiny Prints!"
"I received a very thorough note back from the design reviewer in response to a question I had about the photo quality. I also received my order faster than I expected, which helped me get my thank you's out sooner!"

The Southeastern Conference has bestowed two honors upon South Carolina's star defensive end after he racked up four and a half sacks in the Gamecocks' win over rival Clemson Saturday night.
The conference named Jadeveon Clowney Co-Defensive Player of the Week and Defensive Lineman of the Week.
The 6-6, 256 pound sophomore set the school record for sacks in a game with 4.5 and broke the school record for sacks in a season with 13 in the Gamecocks' 27-17 win at Clemson.
He totaled seven tackles, including six solo stops, and was also credited with a quarterback pressure.
The sack total was also a Clemson Memorial Stadium record.
The Gamecocks held the Tigers to 17 points and 328 yards, well below their season averages of 44.6 points and 535.6 yards per game.
This is the third time this season that Clowney has
been honored by the SEC. He was also the Defensive Lineman of the Week after
wins over UAB and Kentucky. He is also a finalist for the Nagurski Trophy, the
Lombardi Award and the Bednarik Award.

Maurice Jones-Drew may be playing for a pretty bad team, but that hasn't stopped him from turning in a great season. His touchdown early in Saturday's game against the Tennessee Titans gives him 11 touchdowns for the year.
Jones-Drew, as you probably know, is also leading the league in rushing yardage. So far on Saturday, he has 20 yards, giving him more than 1,350 for the season. If he can pick up about 50 more yards, that will be a career high for him.


text: If there was ever any doubt that Daniel Cormier could hang with the big boys in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), he erased that tonight (Sat., April 20, 2013) when he soundly defeated Frank Mir via unanimous decision in the co-main event of UFC on Fox 7: "Henderson vs. Melendez" at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California. "DC" used a clinch heavy game plan to get there, infuriating fans at the arena but completely neutralizing Mir's only offensive hope, which were his kicks. They were effective when he could get them off but that wasn't very often and, in fact, he made a few baffling decisions later in the fight when he was clearly down on the scorecards but played right into Cormier's game by initiating a clinch of his own. Cormier wasn't altogether happy with his performance, later saying he doesn't feel he deserves a title shot on the strength of it, but at the very least he has announced his arrival on the scene in the UFC.

Pizza Port
Solana Beach, CA
Clear dark orange and amber with a small off-white head that clings messy, irregular lines of lace down the glass.
Bready aroma with some citrus zest presence along with some earth.
Bready and earthy flavors, with some mild citrus presence, grassy hops, and moderate bitterness. Very drinkable.
Medium bodied, slightly creamy with moderate carbonation.
A nice enough, unexciting, pale ale.

Pours an orange color with a white head. Nose is citrusy, mostly orange, with some floral, grass, and marijuana aroma. A bit of bready malt sweetness, too. There is a sweet malt character to it, mostly bread and toast. Floral and citrusy hops without the same weed note that was there on the nose. Only a light bitterness on the finish.

On tap for the first anniversary party at Beachwood BBQ & Brewing in Long Beach, CA.
Pours a slightly hazy honey orange with a foamy bone colored head that settles to a film on top of the beer. Small patches of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt, honey, citrus zest, and dank weed. Taste is much the same with a high amount of herbal hop bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a lower level of carbonation with a slightly crisp and medium bodied mouthfeel. Overall, this is a pretty good beer that is quite dank and smells better than it tastes in my opinion.

Did the Thursday- Sunday long weekend trip to Nassau out of Port Canaveral. We definitely got our money's worth but you get what you pay for.
Good-Inside cabin was just fine. Spots on the carpet but the room was large enough for two.
Bathroom and shower had plenty of room. Air worked. Beds comfortable.Food was good. Had both escargot and lobster. Not any great cuts of steak but chocolate melting cake makes up for it!
Entertainments was good. Our younger dancing friends found plenty of opportunity. The last night's show had talented musicians and singers.
Service was fine. Serenity deck steward was surly but everyone else worked hard on a short trip with 2,000 people.
Bad-Main decor is still garish Vegas before Vegas became cool. Purple, gold, dark!
Layout of ship is hard to get around with the dining room in the middle. Up, down, very confusing for a new person.
There was a serious warning about going ashore in Nassau. Senor Frogs seriously waters down drinks. Better to just stay on board to eat and order drinks.

Clarus Research Group specializes in customized research, branding, and message development for associations. We understand the complexities and sensitivities of membership organizations, large and small. Our aim is to support and assist association staff and volunteer leaders with powerful research, fresh perspective, and broad experience. Our services include:
- In-depth, one-on-one interviews with board members and key leadership.
- Surveys of current, lapsed, and potential members based on representative, scientific samples.
- Surveys of external audiences, including hard-to-reach decision-makers and market influencers.
- Facilitation of the message development process.
- Analysis of words and phrases to use –– and avoid –– in public communications.
Member Surveys
Associations have unique dynamics. Cookie-cutter "one size fits all" strategies won't work. Associations must balance interests and bridge gaps among members, volunteer leaders, and coalition partners. Scientific polling by Clarus can help association executives find new members and better serve existing ones. We can test messages, initiatives, and policies. In-depth, one-on-one interviewing by Clarus taps into the knowledge of key staff, board members, and coalition partners. Our quantitative surveys produce clear, practical, and usable conclusions. Focus and dial groups by Clarus tell you which words and themes to use –– and which to avoid.
Association Branding and Market Positioning
Branding research isn't an academic exercise. It's a dollars and cents imperative. How internal and external audiences perceive an association is critical to its success. That's truer than ever as more groups compete for revenue streams and share-of-voice. Clarus Research is the starting point for successful branding. Our finely honed branding process is an opportunity for associations to implement strategic goals by developing coherent messages. Most importantly, Clarus branding is based on an open, participatory process that secures internal buy-in and builds trust among members, volunteer leaders, and staff.
Message Development Facilitation
Message development is a process –– and step one is research. Clarus has developed a rigorous and disciplined messaging process that cuts across organizational silos, builds consensus, and produces powerful core messages that work. Our message research and facilitation is based on varied experience with a strong track record of success in the association marketplace. We know how to collaborate with marketing, communications, and advocacy teams –– and how to bring staff and volunteer leaders together to craft and test the most effective messages for every possible situation. When it comes to association message development, nobody does it better than Clarus. Nobody.
Communication Audits
Are you sure your advertising works? Your website delivers? Your media messages break through? Are your materials, seminars, and conferences reaching the right audiences? Our communication audits are based on scientific surveys, one-on-one interviewing, and multidimensional media evaluations. They answer these questions with fresh objectivity and insight. A Clarus communications audit not only shows you how to reach members, media, and outside constituencies, they also save you money by identifying ineffective expenditures and ways to streamline your communications vehicles.
Grassroots Advocacy
There's power in numbers –– and in your grassroots reach. Clarus helps organizations build strong political action programs by identifying messages that motivate members and by targeting members who are most likely to take action. We do Beltway Opinion Leader surveys to measure your association's awareness and favorability among influential players. We conduct voter polls to test the public appeal of your group's policy proposals. Clarus surveys are widely reported by major news outlets. Results from our nonpartisan voter polling on a range of issues are distributed among elected officials and political elites in Washington and state capitals across the nation.

Kids these days, you have it so easy- what with your Macklemore and his glorification of shitty haircuts and budget-minded shopping.
Geeks, pocket protectors, and excessive amounts of grease. Nobody really know where this grease came from, but it was a definitely a thing.

The Xperia Play,[12] (stylized Xperia PLAY and codenamed Zeus)[13][14] is a handheld game console smartphone produced by Sony Ericsson. Under the Xperia smartphone brand running Android 2.3 Gingerbread, the device is the first to be part of the PlayStation Certified program which means that it can play PlayStation Mobile games. The device was originally thought to carry the PlayStation branding, though this has been clarified to be a certification of being part of the PlayStation Certified program.
On March 4, 2010, the device was announced for the first time codenamed the PlayStation Phone, but rumors were going around long before Sony announced the device as early as 2005.
On February 13, 2011, at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2011, it was announced that the device would be shipping globally in March 2011, with a launch lineup of around 50 software titles.[3] In the US, the Xperia Play was initially available only on the Verizon network,[3] until the release of the Xperia Play 4G on AT&T.[15] In Mexico it is available through Telcel.[16] In the UK, carriers O₂, Vodafone, Orange, T-Mobile and Three have confirmed that they were to stock the handset.[17] In Canada, the device is carried exclusively by Rogers Wireless.[18]
The device is a horizontally sliding phone with its original form resembling the Xperia X10 while the slider below resembles the slider of the PSP Go. The slider features a D-pad in an indented area on the left side, a set of standard PlayStation touch buttons(, , and ) in an indented area on the right, a long rectangular touchpad in the middle, start and select buttons in an indented area on the bottom right corner, an option button on the bottom left corner, and two shoulder buttons (L and R) on the back of the device.[19] The original form, has a long rectangular touchscreen, and four buttons below, for back, option, home, and search.[19] The device features a 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, a Qualcomm Adreno 205 GPU, a 4.0 in (100 mm) display with a resolution of 854 × 480, a 5.1-megapixel camera, 512 MB RAM, 400 MB internal storage and a micro-USB connector. It supports microSD cards, in contrast to the PSP consoles, which use Memory Stick variants, and the PlayStation Vita, which uses a custom, proprietary flash storage medium.[8][19][20]
The device runs on the Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system,[21] with early prototypes running Android 2.2.[13] It is one of two successors to the PlayStation Portable[citation needed], the other being the PlayStation Vita.
PlayStation Mobile[edit]
The device is said to feature games graphically within the range of similar portable devices[19] and plays these games via an application known as PlayStation Mobile. It changes the interface of the device from that of a phone to the XrossMediaBar, closely resembling that of the PlayStation Portable.[8][9] A dedicated section in Google Play specifically for games for the system allowing users to download games on the go is also added.[20][22] Titles shown off internally on the device include PSP games, such as God of War and LittleBigPlanet, as well as older PlayStation games; there are also plans for future games incorporating augmented reality similar to Invizimals.[20] The prices of the games are also expected to be under US$10, considerably lower than the PlayStation Portable's price range of less than US$40 per game.[23]
The device is compatible with Android software, which can be downloaded from the Google Play store (Formerly Android Market). Many games are optimized for use with the device's additional gaming controls, including the video game streaming service OnLive.[24]
Reports of a PlayStation smartphone have existed as early as 2006 when Sony Computer Entertainment filed a patent for a PlayStation Phone.[25] Rumors of such a device resurfaced again in 2007 when a Sony Ericsson executive announced that they were developing a device for gaming, and plans to use the XrossMediaBar in its devices.[26] In June 2007, head of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, David Reeves, denied the existence of such a device saying that he had no knowledge of such a device being developed.[27] During the 2007 Games Convention, Peter Ahnegard, an executive at Sony Ericsson, further fueled rumors of a PlayStation Phone, when asked about the device he said that "It's obviously something that we're looking at but right now I can't really comment".[28]
In the early 2008, the official Sony Magazine reported that "a new PSP-style phone is apparently in development".[29] In early 2009, it was reported that plans for a PlayStation Phone has been cancelled as Sony were unwilling to license the PlayStation brand to Sony Ericsson unless Sony would produce the handset independently. This subsequently prompted a fallout between Sony and Sony Ericsson.[30] In May 2009, rumors of such a device arose once again when then head of Sony Ericsson, Hideki Komiyama, told the Financial Times in an interview that as part of his recovery plan for Sony Ericsson, he would like to combine the PlayStation brand with their phones similar to how they had created the Walkman and Cyber-shot lines of mobile phones.[31] In June 2009, The Nikkei reported that Sony Ericsson were developing a "cellphone-game gear hybrid" as a competitor to Apple's iPhone, combining the functionality of a mobile phone and a handheld gaming device.[32]
Images surface[edit]
In early 2010, the Wall Street Journal reported that Sony was getting ready to release a smartphone able to download and play video games.[33] The first solid details about the phone came via Engadget in August 2010, reporting many leaked details about the device including that it runs Android, it is a sliding phone with a button configuration similar to the PSP Go, with some technical specifications.[20] Pictures of the device were leaked to the internet when Engadget released pictures of a prototype running Android 2.2, a PSP Go like form factor with a touch pad and microSD card support.[19] Several sites however, have questioned the legitimacy of the images of the device in question, though Engadget has rebuked these theories and shown their proven track record of leaked devices which include the iPad, 2010 MacBook Air and the Nexus One.[13] More images of the device were released by Engadget on October 29, 2010 showing the device running Android 2.2 Froyo and showing its model as "Zeus", it adds that there are several of these devices in internal testing stages with at least one device running Android 2.3 Gingerbread.[34] A video showing the device in the wild in Greece was leaked on December 1, 2010, It showed the device running Android 2.3, and reported that the device's final name would be the Sony Ericsson Z1 though this has not been confirmed by multiple sources.[35]
Two days later, more videos were leaked. They were far clearer, showing the device clearly, with a "PlayStation" icon on the phone which displays a XrossMediaBar-themed interface when selected.[36] On January 5, 2011, Engadget published more photos of what seems to be the final design for the device as it bears both the PlayStation and Xperia brands which weren't on the prototypes.[1] The day after, several other clearer photos and videos of the device was leaked revealing what seems to be its final design, specs, and its benchmark score of 59.1 frames per second.[8][9] On January 10, 2011, a video showing the device playing original PlayStation games was released. Though it is unclear whether the games were being played through official software or an emulator of the original PlayStation console.[37] On January 12, 2011 a Chinese website released pictures of what looked like the device disassembled with the parts spread out and the casing removed.[38]
Official announcement[edit]
On February 6, 2011, Sony Ericsson created an event for the Xperia Play on their Facebook page.
In late January or early February, a shortened version of an advert made for airing during the Super Bowl was leaked on several websites. On February 6, 2011, the device was officially announced with the broadcast of the version of this ad.[39] On February 13, 2011 more details were released by Sony Ericsson.[citation needed]
On April 1, 2011, the device was released in the UK,[6] Ireland[40] and Spain.[5] On April 28, 2011, it was launched in Canada, exclusively to Rogers.[41] The US launch is officially scheduled for Spring 2011, and while a time frame of mid-April was initially given,[7] the device's launch was pushed back to May 26.[42] In Indonesia, the device was launched on XL Axiatta network on July 29, 2011. On September 18, 2011, the Xperia Play 4G was released for AT&T, it features HSPA+ for faster speeds and it comes in a Stealth Blue color.[15]
Android updates[edit]
On September 8, 2011, Sony Ericsson confirmed that the Xperia Play, and all Xperia phones released in 2011, would receive an update to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. More information on this upgrade was announced on November 15, 2011.[43]
However, on May 25, 2012, a post on the Sony Xperia Product Blog stated that following beta testing and discussions with developers, the Xperia Play would not receive an update to Android 4.0, citing stability concerns.[44] A beta Android 4.0 ROM was made available for testing on unlocked phones.[45] Numerous independent developers have made custom roms with Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean available.
Emulation and homebrew[edit]
The Xperia Play may be used for homebrew games. It's commonly used to run emulators for classic game consoles such as Super Nintendo, NES, Sega Genesis, Sega Mark III, Sega Game Gear, PC Engine, Sega CD, Sega 32X, Sony PlayStation, Sony Playstation Portable, Atari 2600, Commodore 64, MAME, Nintendo 64, Sega Saturn, Sega Dreamcast, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS and others.[46][47]

For 20 years I spoke through my skin because I couldn't find the right words. Instead of a best friend to play with, I had a pair of scissors. And instead of a voice, I got stuck on a merry-go-round of bottling things in and bleeding them out. The question I often get asked is 'why'; what could make me feel so low that I would want to drag a blade across my own flesh. Having had nearly two decades to gnaw over an answer, I'm still not really sure, other than - being brutally honest - I think I liked it. It wasn't about the injury I inflicted though, cutting never deviated towards sadomasochism, it was about searching for contentment.
Schools, you either love them or hate them, a little bit like Marmite I guess. Some say school years are the best years of your life, some even say school reminds them of their youth. But what do you think of when you reminisce about your youth? Do you see school as a good thing or do you feel let down by your school?
Being diagnosed with Mental Health, in particular Depression and Anxiety at the age of 14 years was not easy to cope with. I worried about telling other people that I had Mental Health, it was never taught on the school curriculum and it appeared to me at the time, that many wouldn't understand the condition.
Everyone on this planet has a childhood story about low self-esteem and we often don't realise how damaging they can be in later life. Even the great and the good like Jen Lawrence, Jessie J and Rebecca Adlington have all come out saying they had troubled teen years. Low self-esteem is a major cause of eating disorders, depression, anxiety and addictions.
It is unconscionable that any self respecting trade union would allow its members to engage in the wilful and systematic sanctioning of benefit claimants without meaningful resistance. It flies in the face of the very principle of social solidarity that is the cornerstone of a movement founded on the understanding that the interests of working people - employed and unemployed - are intrinsically the same.

The Colorado Rockies defeated the Cincinnati Reds 5-1 Friday night in Spring Training action at Goodyear Park. Jeff Francis finished off another quality starting assignment, going five innings without allowing an earned run. He struck out three batters, scattered four hits and didn't give up a walk. Francis has a solid 1.96 ERA in the Cactus League. #Rockies Helton launches two-run line-drive homer to right-center. Off Reds' Cueto. Guess he can hit more than Double-A pitching.
Dexter Fowler continued his torrid March by leading off the game with a double and later scored on an RBI groundout by Carlos Gonzalez. Fowler is hitting .391 in Spring Training action.
Providing protection for Michael Cuddyer's three hit day, Todd Helton batted fifth and launched a line drive home run into the right field grass in the fourth inning. Todd is still searching for his stroke this Spring, but Friday's homer against Reds ace Johnny Cueto provides a glimmer of hope as described by the Denver Post's Patrick Saunders:
First baseman Ben Paulsen pinch hit in the seventh with a runner on and launched his first home run of Spring Training. Tim Wheeler was optioned down to minor league camp earlier in the day, but was still called on to pinch hit in the game and followed Paulsen's homer with a double.
Rockies relievers had a strong night going four innings and allowing only a single earned run and a single hit. The only blemish was in the eight inning when reliever Bobby Cassevah gave up an RBI triple to the Reds centerfielder Derrick Robinson. Cassevah was later removed from the game due to injury. Rule 5 draftee Daniel Rosenbaum continued his solid play going an inning and inducing a Corky Miller double play to finish the ninth in order.
The Rockies next game is Saturday at Salt River Fields against the Mariners. Lefthanded starter Drew Pomeranz is scheduled to start against Erasmo Ramirez of Seattle.

Following the tragic death of her beloved teenage son Esteban, Manuela (Roth's character, played on stage by Lesley Manville) goes to Barcelona in search of the father he never knew. But before she can exorcise her guilt, she gets caught up in the lives of three women: Agrado, a long-lost transvestite friend; Sister Rosa (Cruz's role, now taken by Joanne Froggatt), a young nun in search of love; and Huma Rojo, the famous actress her son so admired. Just as Manuela's life begins to have meaning again, her son's father returns and her journey of discovery and forgiveness comes full circle.
The Old Vic cast also stars Dame Diana Rigg (as Huma Rojo), The League of Gentlemen's Mark Gatiss (Agrado), Charlotte Randle (Nina Cruz) and Colin Morgan (Esteban). Tom Cairns' premiere production marks the first major Almodóvar stage adaptation in 20 years and the first time ever that the Spanish filmmaker has consented to his work being produced in English.
TO SCROLL THROUGH ALL OF THE ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER 1st NIGHT PHOTOS,
For 1st Night Photos, our Whatsonstage.com photographer Dan Wooller was on hand for the post-show party at the Sanderson Hotel with members of the company and production team. Other first night guests included Gillian Anderson, Derren Brown, Eve Best, Nick Moran, Louisa Clein, James Corden, Angus Jackson, drag queens Bianca Black and Amber Swallows, and Old Vic artistic director Kevin Spacey.
The project to adapt All About My Mother for the stage began in 2002 when Australian-born producer Daniel Sparrow approached Almodóvar's film company El Deseo with the idea. The Old Vic and Sam Mendes' company Neal Street Productions came on board as co-producers two years ago.

Lewis Woodruff Chase was born September 8, 1851 in Peru, New York and married Louisa Hanson on January 2, 1887. In 1894 the family moved to Walker with their five children and lived in a tent on land Lewis purchased which became the site of Hotel Isabel.
Lewis, more fondly known as "Bert" and Louisa managed the bar as well as the Hotel Pameda, which opened for business in 1897. He purchased the business in 1898 and changed the name to Chase Hotel.
Realizing the need for more upscale tourist lodging in 1915, they built the modern twenty-room Hotel Isabel on the west side of Lake May Creek with Louisa in charge. The Hotel Isabel (Isabella) was named in honor of their daughter, Isabel.
Bert knew Walker was on the third largest lake in Minnesota and offered fantastic fishing, although not enough hotel rooms for the hundreds of fishermen and their families who rode the train to Walker. Bert's vision was to turn a small logging town into a modern resort town and cater to tourists from all over the US and abroad.
The New Chase Hotel was to be built on the site of the Spencer Hotel, one of the first six hotels built in Walker. Architect Johnson from Bemidji was hired to draw up the plans for the new hotel.
The Grand Opening celebration of the Chase Hotel took place as planned at 8:00 p.m. the evening of June 8th, 1922, and was a huge success with many local celebrities and entertainment present.
Bill Finnigan, Isabel's husband, managed the hotel for twenty-two year s and was a most effective booster for the Leech Lake area, serving as president of the Leech Lake Resort Association, Walker city councilman, and past president of the Walker Rotary Club. After his death, Isabel and her mother, Louisa, operated the Chase until they sold to Mr. and Mrs. A.F. Kruse of Grand Forks, ND in 1948.
Floyd and Mary "Kay" Weller Jones purchased the Chase on May 1, 1954 and kept the hotel in operation until 1974. Jim and Barb Aletto became the next owners in the early 1980's. They worked diligently to have the building placed on the National Register of Historic Places. They succeeded, and the Chase Hotel was placed on the Register on June 4, 1980.
Mark and Kathy Shimer took possession on April 26, 1993. The couple had major plans for renovation and for bringing the Chase Hotel back to its original state, when a June 29, 1997 fire destroyed their dreams as well as the hotel. The Chase did not reopen until it was completely restored and remodeled in June 2008.

Investing in a solar water heating system for your home is a smart choice to save money on your natural gas bill. It also reduces your impact on the environment and is a more affordable way to go green than other renewable technologies.
Solar water heating works alongside your current water heater. It collects energy from the sun to preheat water for sinks, showers, baths, dishwashers and washing machines. This reduces the amount of conventional energy needed to heat water for your home — and saves you money on your energy bill.
The CSI-Thermal Program offers cash rebates for residential customers who install a solar water heating system on their single-family home to help off-set some of the upfront cost. The system must be used to heat domestic hot water for personal use to qualify for a rebate (space heating/cooling or pool heating are not eligible).
PG&E is offering cash rebates of up to $2,719, granted in the form of a one-time payment. The amount is determined by how much energy the system is expected to displace annually. For solar water heating systems installed on single-family homes, the average incentive is approximately $2,000, at a rate of $18.59 per therm displaced. (A therm is a unit of measurement for the use of natural gas. Each person in a typical household uses approximately 11.2 therms per month for water heating.) Higher incentive rates of $25.64 per therm displaced are available for qualifying low-income properties, up to a maximum rebate of $3,700.
Rebates decline over time, so the earlier you apply, the higher the rebate you are eligible to receive. Act now to take advantage of this incentive program, because it is paying the highest value.
To apply for the CSI-Thermal program, your home must meet all of the following requirements:
After the initial installation cost, a solar water heating system can reduce your monthly heating bills by 50 to 80 percent. Over time, the energy and cost savings can be substantial.
To help reduce the upfront investment cost, look into a Federal Tax Credit and discuss other potential rebates and financing with your contractor.

By making a deep connection to the present moment and understanding our mind through the practice of meditation, we learn to make friends with ourselves.Meditation in Everyday Life is a 5-week course that teaches mindfulness meditation and shows us how this practice can improve our daily lives in the most practical sense. We experience what happens when we stop avoiding ourselves and the present moment and practice simply being with whatever is going on in our lives. We learn to cultivate courage and stability in the daily complexities of jobs, responsibilities, relationships, and the everyday desires, concerns and uncertainties we all face.This is the first course in the Way of Shambhala curriculum. It offers a glimpse of the Shambhala vision of an enlightened society created through mindfulness-awareness meditation, and how the stability and wisdom cultivated through this practice can expand to benefit the world around us.Meditation in Everyday Life is designed to be a companion course for the Shambhala Training Level I Weekend Retreat. Although you make them independently we encourage taking both, as people generally get more out of each when taking them together.Open to the Public

Don't be fooled by how plain and simple this recipe seems - this salad is creamy and elegant! I don't what it is that makes it taste so great, it just does! This is my favorite way to make chicken salad now. I collect chicken salad recipes, and this one now leads the list! Definitely a "Blue Ribbon" in my book.
