I'm developing an application which doe's lots of arithmetic calculations, and when I tested it on the E61 I had very bad performance in terms of running time.
I expected that the running time will be correlated to the ratio between the E61 and a PC processor, meaning that since the E61's processor is 206mhz and my PC's processor is 3.0ghz, the running time should be 15 times longer when running the application on the E61. Unfortunately, the running time was about 70 times longer.
Having these results, I tried a new approach and ran the following piece of code on both machines:
I tested it several times. In some of them i&k were ints and in the other floats. I also replaced the adding operation with multiply.
The conclusion was that it takes between 45-50 times longer for the code to ran on the E61 that on the PC. Now, if I normalize the the results with the processors' ratio, it still takes between 3-4 times slower on the E61.
When searching for the reason over the internet I found out that the E61's processor is optimized for power consumption (or so) rather than performance.
I would like to know if my results seem reasonable for someone, or whether someone has a better explanation for that.
In addition, it would really help to know if it's possible to change some flag or call an API which sets the cpu to performance mode.

TORONTO, July 16, 2014 /CNW/ - An untimely shoulder injury sustained during the surfing challenge in tonight's episode of THE AMAZING RACE CANADA abruptly ended the competition for married couple Jen and Shawn King. The Halifax-based team were forced to withdraw from the competition due to injury, before host Jon Montgomery arrived at Tofino General Hospital to make it official.
The result of an old shoulder injury, Shawn's right shoulder dislocated as he swam into the waves to attempt surfing, and required medical attention. Jen described the decision to withdraw as "one of the toughest decisions we've ever had to make." "We didn't lose," said Shawn, "we just can't keep going."

Episode 2 Recap
From the Pit Start in Victoria, 10 teams made their way to "surfer's paradise" in Tofino, B.C. At the Detour, teams chose to either sort or fillet fish at Ucluelet Harbour Seafoods, then made their way to Chesterman Beach to complete a surfing challenge and build a chair out of driftwood, before heading to the Pit Stop located at the picturesque Tofino Crab Dock. As a result of Shawn's injury, engaged couple Rex and Bob narrowly escaped elimination after racking up six hours of penalties by failing to complete both the surfing and chair building challenges. "We are shocked that we've survived," said Rex. "We didn't want it to be at the expense of someone else. No more giving up and taking penalties, we're going to fight on, we have to do it for them."
Canada's National Women's Hockey Team members Natalie Spooner and Meaghan Mikkelson kept their winning streak alive after taking the first leg of Season 2. The teammates also won two round trip tickets from Air Canada to Hong Kong, plus another $2,000 on their Scotiabank Gold American Express Card.

Players being unable to perform is nothing new in the NFL, and with reports flying around that an arrest warrant may be forthcoming for Aaron Hernandez, it seems possible that he may not be able to take the field for the New England Patriots this season, making this find all that more interesting.
According to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport, Aaron Hernandez's contract lacks a "failure to perform" or "failure to practice" clause. This is a safe-guard clause that is often included in contracts to protect teams from players' suspensions or legal woes. Essentially the clauses are a way for teams to get back guaranteed money should players get suspended or simply not play.
Rapoport, however, found that Hernandez's contract contains no such language, potentially allowing him to keep $2.5 million that would otherwise be owed back to the New England Patriots if his contract contained such a clause.
The breakdown, according to Rapoport is as follows. The Patriots would still be on the hook for $1.323 million and $1.137 million in 2013 and 2014 respectively should Hernandez be unable to participate with the Patriots' football activities. This is because Hernandez's amended contract does not include a "failure to report" clause, meaning he'd keep those base salary figures. It's unclear why the clause, which would normally be included in almost any contract, is not present, but it may prove to be helpful to Hernandez should he be arrested on alleged charges involving the death of Odin Lloyd.

Ranking the 2012-13 college basketball Holiday tournaments (November)
We're about five months from the Holiday hoops tournaments, so it's time to start looking for airfares and hotel rooms. No destination in mind? No worries, use this handy guide. Grade B: Coaches vs Cancer Classic, Nov 16-17 (Brooklyn, NY): Notre Dame headlines the event in their Year of Jack Cooley. Hopefully they'll face BYU so we can see a battle between contrasting tempos. Florida State will be breaking in a new lineup which will arguably feature the most talent Leonard Hamilton has ever coached at the college level, though they're inexperienced. And the field is rounded out by St. Joe's who returns everyone from a good A-10 squad. Field: Notre Dame, Florida State, Brigham Young, St. Joseph's

Arizona's firing of football coach Mike Stoops does not seem to have come as much of a surprise. The Wildcats are currently on a 10-game losing streak against FBS opponents and are 1-5 this season.
It's true that Stoops took over a program that was in shambles. He succeeded in turning that around, but as Arizona Desert Swarm points out, the problem was that after initial success Stoops was never able to get his team over the hump:
His rebuilding peaked.
He was brought to the Arizona Wildcats to bring a two-win team from 2003 out of the basement following the ugly departure of John Mackovic. He did that.
Then, you know the rest of the story. Incremental growth in his first four seasons finally led to a bowl berth in his fourth, the first in nine seasons for the Wildcats. Arizona won the 2008 Las Vegas Bowl against BYU and followed it up with shellackings against Nebraska in the Holiday Bowl of 2009 and Oklahoma State in the Alamo Bowl of 2010.
Over at SB Nation Arizona, they point out that Stoops' tenure had plenty of fond memories. The best of those may have been the Wildcats' upset of Arizona State in 2004:
To this day, I'm not sure I have ever heard a louder Arizona Stadium than I did that sunny afternoon in November. The weather was perfect, the atmosphere was perfect, and, most importantly, the game was perfect. Arizona Football was fun again for the first time in a long time.
Although not particularly vested in his success, Addicted to Quack points out that one of Stoops' problems was one of perception:
His antics were clearly hurting the team. I don't wish ill will on Mike Stoops, and hope he learns to be a better coach wherever he lands. But, as we've said repeatedly on our podcasts, his behavior on the sidelines was an embarrassment to his program, the conference, and college football. It wasn't good for the kids playing the game.

A former staffer of the North Carolina Democratic Party has filed a defamation lawsuit against the party and its chairman over a 2011 sexual harassment claim.
The former staffer, Adrian Ortega, says NCDP chair David Parker violated terms of a sexual harassment settlement issued in early 2012.
According to Ortega's lawsuit, under the terms of the settlement, the NCDP breached its contract with Ortega during a press conference on April 19, 2012. The lawsuit claims Parker held the press conference and launched attacks on Ortega's reputation and to "redirect scrutiny" away from the Democratic Party.
Ortega says he and the NCDP reached a settlement where the NCDP "is to refrain from making any disparaging remarks regarding Ortega."
According to Ortega's settlement with the NCDP, the party was only allowed to mention the dates Ortega was employed and that he left his position at the NCDP for business reasons. According to Ortega, if the NCDP was asked about the harassment claim, it could say "the matter has been resolved by agreement of the parties."
Ortega claims the defamatory comments made have caused "mental suffering" as well as injury to his reputation.
The lawsuit claims Ortega tried to handle the sexual harassment claim internally and wrote a letter on Dec. 8, 2011 detailing the sexual harassment. A complaint was filed Jan. 31 with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
"During my tenure I was sexually harassed by the executive director," the victim wrote in the complaint, which indicated the allegation happened between early September and late November 2011.
The victim said in the complaint he discussed the harassment with the party's director of administration in September and that his supervisor told him on Oct. 1 that he had been advised of the allegations.
After meeting with another party operative, the victim said he was told that there would be no retaliation for his complaint.
"I was no longer sexually harassed but on or around Nov. 21, 2011, my employment was terminated," he said in the complaint.
At the press conference, Parker addressed the federal discrimination complaint against former Executive Director Jay Parmley that resulted in Parmley's resignation and calls for the party chair to step down.
"Jay Parmley's hasty resignation made the situation worse," Parker said before going over line-by-line the charges against the former executive director.
Parker won reelection at a state party meeting, despite calls for his resignation.
The Republican National Committee spokesman Matt Connelly responded to Thursday's lawsuit saying, "Today's developments confirm that North Carolina will continue to be a mess for the Democratic Party and President Obama through the Democratic National Convention and up until election day."

Floyd's Record Shop is a local treasure in Ville Platte, La. Many Louisiana musicians have passed through the shop to record their music.
Now, 56-years later, the store is closing and owner Floyd Soileau will be leaving behind a huge legacy once the doors to his record shop close for good.
Soileau has had a love for music his entire life.
"Starting with part-time DJ in 1956 at the local radio station KVPI in Ville Platte," Soileau said.
And then opening up his own record store with retail in the front and a recording studio in the back. Soileau even opened one of the only vinyl pressing plants in Louisiana.
"When Elvis died and RCA was scratching to find every pressing plant they could in the country, they found us at the very end and we managed to press 60,000 copies of one Elvis Presley album," he said.
But with all of this success, 56 years of it to be exact, the doors are closing.
"I think we've had our time and we got to move on," Soileau said.
And as the store prepares to lock up for good, music lovers near and far stop in to make their final purchases.
"Well it's kind of sad," Rodney Carrier of Church Point, La. said. "I've been here a few times and always like to come. It's a field trip for me and my wife and we enjoy it just browsing around and picking up some records and stuff."
"It's a shame that a tradition like this has to shutdown, but the website is continuing and you can still get the music," David Cartwright of Austin, Texas, said.
And to the employees, Floyd's Record Shop is irreplaceable.
"It's a bittersweet experience. I started here in December 1967, so it will be 45 years and it's been a wonderful experience," Cecil Fontenot, shop manager, said.
Wonderful experiences to take with them as the shop closes.
"I've got a lot of wonderful memories from all those years and I can look back on that and every now and then somebody plays a record or while driving down the road and I hear a record on the air and I remember, 'I cut that record!' you know? And it brings back wonderful memories," Soileau said.
Fifty-six years of memories ... Showing the world all the musical talent Southwest Louisiana has to offer.
"We keep our Cajun language alive with our French music," Soileau said.
Even though the story may be closed, Soileau said customers can still buy Louisiana music from Floyd's through the shop's website here.

There was a new development this week in the historic incident of DEA agent Lee Paige, who accidentally shot himself in the foot during a youth presentation in 2004.
Paige filed a federal lawsuit against the U.S. government, complaining that the DEA leaked the video, which he states appeared on such familiar shows as
the Jay Leno Show, a Curreent Affair, and Jimmy Kimbel (kimmel) Live.
Paige claims that the embarrassment and publicity has ruined his career as both public speaker (like Tony Robbins) and undercover officer (like Tony Robbins with a mustache) which linguists agree is the most oxymoronic combination of terms since "gay Republicans."
It must have been difficult for Paige to watch his reputation to America's youth sink from "Respected Federal Agent" to "nothing but a big fat doo-doo-head"
But a judge threw out the case this week, so Paige's attempt to gain financial compensation for the embarrassment has only served to remind us of the incident so he could face more embarrassment as we note that he has once again shot himself in the foot. This has been a great moment in FAIL.

SurfaceRT and stylus - any good?
I've been putting off getting a new laptop / tablet for ages waiting for the Win8 devices to come out. I'm torn between the Lenovo Thinkpad 2 and the Surface RT. Big differentiator for me is that the Thinkpad 2 comes with a Stylus and the SurfaceRT does not. Does anyone know if I can get a third-party stylus for the Surface and if it will work? Or is it only the Pro that supports this. And if I can buy a stylus separately, which of the devices would be best for light sketching and artwork (don't worry - I know it wont be as good as a proper Wacom tablet, I just want to be able to sketch whilst travelling).

Here is my completely BS, no factual basis prediction for Rockets trades before or at the deadline.
Trade one: a three way trade that sends Battier to the Lakers, Ron and Bynum to a second team and send some young potential stud to Houston. It just makes sense for Battier to go to the Lakers to fill Ron's shoes. He is better D, better O, smarter player, better leader, and honestly, with his contract coming off the books at the end of the season for LA so it ups their chances of making the finals again.
Who we end up with in this trade is anyone's game but it seems to be that of all the teams in the running for the finals, Battier to LA makes the most sense. Please got don't send us Bynum. Immature, injury prone bball players are not what we need.
Trade two: Aaron Brooks for Dalembert with filler to make up the difference in salaries. Others people's completely unfounded rumors said that Sac wanted Brooks to pair with their SG and we desparately need good D in the paint. With Sac having a plethora of pinatas, I mean centers, they can move him for a piece they need more.
This is just a guess but that sounds like a good idea for me.
Who wouldn't want C Paul, D Howard or other completely unrealistic players...but sorry guys, to get a player like that would require gutting the team, leaving little for CP3 to pass to or Howard to practice with.
This is just a fun, throw up shit and start a conversation piece. Please don't attack me with my apparent loathing for Brooks or other stuff. I love almost all of our players, but Hill and Miller, and don't wish ill or anyone or any thing, except P Pierce, so no need to get all up in my grill, or whatever the kids are saying these days.

I had a case of…
|April 10, 2012
the Monday blues. This pretty much sums it up:
I wanted to go for a run after work.
Once I got home I didn't feel like it. I chose to go shopping, relax and make eggs and sweet potato fries for dinner.
I wanted to do some onDemand yoga to look like Miranda Kerr.
After dinner I didn't feel like it.
Yes, it's almost that time of the month and my body is SO tired. My body just isn't having it right now.
I did, however feel like eating a cake pop from Starbucks.
I think sometimes when people read my blog and automatically think that I eat healthy all day everyday. Yes, I am more conscious than the average person, but I believe it is all about balance. I don't restrict myself from having a sweet every once in a while, because I know that a cake pop isn't going to make me gain 5 pounds. However, I don't eat 5 cake pops in one sitting. Yet again– it's all about balance.
I also Youtubed (yes I use that word) "mini dachshund puppy" and found this little gem.
Bryan said he never heard me laugh the way I did while watching this. I need one of these now. HINT HINT, Bryan I know you're reading this. Maybe an early anniversary present?
2 Responses to I had a case of…
I definitely felt like that today. I called out of work due to a killer headache and lack of sleep and am technically supposed to run today. I feel better, but the thought of changing and strapping on my running shoes is sooo unappealing. I did get some shopping/errands done, though!

Hair was falling everywhere at Bowling Green State University on Sunday. People were lining up to get their heads shaved in support of the fight of against cancer. Some of the participants had very personal reasons to getting involved.
When you shave your head to raise money for someone you love, it's a sign of compassion. BGSU student Megan Schlosser did it for her mother, who is in stage four of a very rare cancer.
Megan said, "Whenever I'm asked who is your hero and who is your inspiration, and you have to write and essay or something... The first thing is Mom. Everything she has been through and I feel so much love and joy in our life. They don't realize that she is the one who saved me."
The National Residence Hall honorary at Bowling Green State University raised over $18,000 for St. Balkdrick's Foundation. The money helps fight childhood cancer research. Megan's efforts brought in over $2000.
Sixth-grader Constance Christiansen was joined the fundraiser in support of her father. He survived cancer when he was just 15.
Constance didn't mind losing her hair for a good cause. "I feel great! It's such an awesome thing!" She says when people ask what happened to her hair, she'll tell them all about the event and how they can help out, too.
If you would like to donate to the St. Baldrick's Foundation or hold your own head shaving event, follow this link to stbaldricks.org.

Nelson and 23 year olds: 2 OLD 2 BE GR8?
Is this the suit that impressed the Dubs brass?
Ever since the moment the Warriors fell to the #6 pick most Warrior fans and analysts saw the Warriors adding a 20 year old C/PF who could pass with the best of them, make smart basketball decisions, and who had enough size and girth to give us the "beef" we've been looking for. Instead of drafting Greg Monroe, who was theirs for the taking, the Warriors disappointed many fans by selecting Ekpe Udoh despite being by all accounts everything the Warriors need: a big man with an NBA body who is defensive minded, can snag rebounds, defend the rim, and can space the floor on offense with his jump shot. So why did a chorus of boos fill Oracle at the draft party? Because of:
As in 23 years old. Which makes him older than our last 3 draft picks: Stephen Curry (21), Anthony Randolph (20), and Brandan Wright (22). Which means he was a man playing with boys in college. Which means his upside is not as high. Which means he can't be a potential superstar like Anthony Randolph. Which means Larry Riley, Don Nelson, Robert Rowell, Chris Cohan, and the Warriors will rue the day they passed on Greg Monroe.
On draft night The Nightmare lived up to his nickname and had Dub fans envisioning Monroe becoming an All*Star big man in Detroit while Udoh becomes Adonal Foyle 2.0. Who cares if 95% of us (myself included) never saw more than a couple games of Udoh or Monroe during their college careers. We were ready to trust Jay Bilas, Chad Ford, and Johnathan Givony that Monroe is the better player over Riley and Nelson who had ranked Curry #2 on their board last year while those guys had Curry behind players such as Jennings, Harden, and Thabeet.
So as a fan who was looking forward to Monroe wearing the blue and gold, I took a look back at previous rookies that were drafted under Nelson at the same age as Epps and the results were not was I was expecting.
All data taken from basketball-reference.com. In chronological order of draft year.
There are 19 rookies total who were drafted by Nelson (this excludes UDFA) and played their rookies seasons at 23 years of age. In average the rookies were worth 1.42 wins in their rookie year according to WS and for their careers were below average players according to WS48 (avg of .076 vs .100 for average player). However, looking at that number is not fair to Epps and Nelson/Riley because that includes 2nd rounders.
When one looks at the 23 year old lottery picks under Nelson (Benson, Richmond, Rogers, Alexander) those players average 2.25 wins in their rookie years and for their career were a bit better but still below average at 0.89 WS48. So it's fair to say that most 23 year old rookies under Nelson become below average players but the exceptions are the most intriguing.
Alex English. Mitch Richmond. Tim Hardaway. Josh Howard.
That group is 1 Hall of Famer, 2/3rds of Run TMC, and a former NBA All*Star.
So roughly 20% of Nelson rookies drafted at that age have become All*Star level players. In regards to draft position Udoh falls between big man Kent Benson (#1 overall) and Carlos Rogers (#11) who were average players with .103 and .95 WS48 for their careers. The good news for Warriors fans is that the last 23 year old rookie drafted around #6 was Mitch Richmond taken at #5 and we know how that turned out. So I think it's safe to say that Udoh has the floor of an average NBA player and despite our concerns for his age Udoh can still be NBA All*Star!
Also regarding the lack of improvement about being such an old rookie: out of the 19 rookies the 18 who played more than 1 season (Bubba Wells was 1 and done) only 3 out of 18 had career WS48 worse or equal to their rookie year WS48. That means 15 out of those "old guys" improved over the course of their career. Now most may have improved to be not as sucky, but 5 out of 19 (English, Benson, Richmond, Hardaway, Howard) improved to be above average NBA players according to career WS48.
I was surprised by how many of Nelson's great players entered the league at such an advanced age but again we have to remember why Nelson has earned a reputation as being rough on rookies. Another reason why The Nightmare is becoming more appealing to me is that for the most part the critics like him as a player but the knock on him is that: (1) he is a reach because of his lack of potential and (2) we have similar players in Randolph and Wright. No one ever really knocks his game (Aminu - can't shoot), intensity (Monroe - disappears from games), or drive (Cousins - Crazy?) like the other draft prospects.
So if those are the only two knocks, I have to say Riley/Nelson might have found themselves quite a player. Nelson's history with 23 year old rookies shows that despite the perceived lack of potential due to entering the league at 23 there are players that have developed into All*Star caliber players. Also all the potential of Randolph and Wright has led to the Warriors directly back to the lottery. At some point all their potential will stop being a positive and instead be a negative.
I am also a big proponent of drafting for BPA and if the Dubs passed over Monroe, who can fill a need at C, and instead drafted someone similar to what they have on their roster that screams BPA to me. Just like when they drafted Curry over Jordan Hill with Monta still on the team. The critics may not agree that Udoh was BPA, but not many of those critics would have placed Curry #2 on their rankings last year and less would declare him as a future NBA point guard. So I'm willing to give Nelson/Riley the benefit of the doubt.
The only question I have is how much input did Nelson have in the drafting of Udoh? He admittedly came later than usual this off-season to Oakland and since Udoh has been a Warrior I can't find a Nellie quote about him. Even today at the Q&A sessions it was Riley, Udoh, and a bunch of school age cheerleaders. If I remember correctly Nelson was at the Curry post draft presser (correct if I'm wrong)? So why is he absent at Udoh's? This maybe a moot point since Nelson most likely won't be coach next season, but I do value his scouting acumen and would love to hear his thoughts.
After giving it sometime to settle and reading more about Udoh I can say I'm OK with the pick as opposed to hating the pick. I'm not saying he WILL be great, but after researching I realized there is a chance he can become an All*Star player despite his age which is more than the no chance I gave him yesterday. Hopefully reading this will convince you to give Udoh a chance as well.
Thanks for the REC!

In the bottom of the third inning, R.A. Dickey was heading to cover first base after a groundball hit by Kosuke Fukudome. He very slowly and awkwardly collapsed on his way to the base, and was taken out of the game limping. Nobody knows yet how long he'll be out of action or what the exact nature of the injury is.
Before the Dickey collapse, in the top of the third, Jose Reyes showed off some base-running skills by coming all the way around after hitting a double, with two fielding errors from the cubs allowing him to go onto third and eventually cross the plate.

With the likes of the Galaxy Gear smartwatch and flexible smartphone displays coming to the fore, it is often wondered how manufacturers come up with its innovative technology.
Do technicians sit in labs for months at a time dreaming things up? Or does a computer print out a list of possible inventions to create? Unfortunately the answer is no.
The future of science and technology actually lies in the unlikeliest of places – Hollywood. The established gadgets and gizmos of today were originally conceived and predicted on the silver screen.
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) – iPad and Siri
Man hadn't yet walked on the moon when this sci-fi classic was released, but Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke managed to accurately predict a lot of the tech we use today.
Long before Apple graced us with its inventions, those onboard the spaceship Discovery were reading the news on iPad-style tablets, and conversing with HAL 9000 much like we do with Siri.
Back to the Future II (1989) – Google Glass
Time-travelling Marty McFly gave everyone in 1989 a demo of what the future would look like, in the second instalment of the Back to the Future trilogy.
Donning a computerised headset, the film was surely a sign of things to come, and the blueprint for the wearable Google Glass technology launched this year.
Minority Report (2002) – Touch Interface
The Tom Cruise thriller is set in the year 2054 and sees a world where occurrences are foreknown. Although we haven't quite reached this stage in 2013, the sci-fi film does predict technological elements we have since seen and now consider the norm.
Gestures such as swiping and touch interfaces are used throughout Minority Report as the usual method of computing, which have become a reality in smartphones such as the Samsung Galaxy S4.
What does the future hold?
For all we know, the future could see every household equipped with its very own J.A.R.V.I.S home computing system, with a DeLorean the vehicle of choice to get to every destination in any year. The sky meanwhile, could be filled with Imperial Star Destroyers – but only time will tell…

Replacing an old angle stop. First shut the water off to the building. Drain the system down the best you can by opening up lower fixtures. If this isn't possible, then keep a small bucket to catch the water. Pull the lav riser, aka supply line off the angle stop, then use 2 pairs of channel locks to untighten the compression nut. The nut and pharrel will not come off. Get your bucket ready to catch that water that might flow out. Now use a nut and pharrel puller to remove the nut and pharrel. Once you have it off, verify that the copper pipe is clean and not damaged. It's a good idea to use some sand cloth to clean it up. I always recommend to wipe a light amount of pipe thread sealant like megalock on the threads that the compression nut will thread on to. This isn't necessarily for sealing the threads because the brass pharrel should do that job, but this will help you get a nice tight crank and prevent the nut from ceasing up in the future. Once you have replaced the stop reinstall the lav riser, turn the water back on and test it for leaks. If none, life is good and you did the job right. If you see a drip, try to crank the nut a little more. If no luck then you may have to repeat this process to get a water tight seal.

Nut and ferrule remover? Never heard of it, do you have a link for one? I've been doing it the long way apparently
If you don't learn something new everyday at work, it's not even worth going.
You should be able to buy one at your local supply house. I know Ferguson and Pacific have them. If you don't know what it looks like, you may have to ask the desk clerk. Excuse the misspelled words. I'm using my phones auto word feature to type.
It's to bad that this site does not have a plumbing how to section. I would have posted this article there.
Steve, this is what they look like.
Awesome thanks guys. Do they work relatively well? I'll have to invest in one for sure
It's a must have.
They work great! It takes short time versus cutting the ferrule. Less time equals more money!
That's much better. I'll have to find me on of those. Haven't saw one in a wholesaler up here yet but I'll start asking

The Vampire Killers
Vampire Witch
In the Ukraine in March, 2005 Diana Semenuha, 29, was arrested after police discovered that she had lured street children to her home to drink their blood. She admitted to the deed. Apparently, she believed that this practice could thwart a muscle-wasting condition she had, but her crime appears to have a different agenda as well. As reported in the Odessa press, which dubbed Semenuha "the vampire witch," she invited the children in with promises of food and a bed, gave them alcohol and had them sniff glue to make them pliable, and then bled them. Whatever she did not use herself, she sold to practitioners of black magic who participated with her in the Black Sea port's occult network. Once a blood source weakened, she moved the child back out to the streets and found a replacement.
One male child reported that he actually saw Semenuha drink his blood. She let him sniff glue and then used a syringe to draw blood from his hand. He said that as she muttered in a language he did not understand, she then squirted the blood into a silver bowl and consumed it.
The seven children who were rescued from her home disappeared into the streets again, making the case against the vampire witch difficult to prosecute.

Fennia Marking Pen$3.00
Wax and Pigment
Artjärvi, FINLAND
Mark till your hearts content, stays on porcelain, mirror, metal, etc. Comes in handy when you least expect it. For instance, if you need to label your bicycle or write your husband a daily reminder message on the bathroom mirror, "Put your laundry in the basket" or on the refrigerator door (as long as it is not white) "Please close the door and do your dishes", etc etc. Made by a firm established in 1907, we visited their factory in the countryside. It was a small place adjacent to the owner's home. The mother and co-owner of the business showed us around. The top floor was packing and warehousing; the bottom floor was where the goods were made. It was a pretty exciting operation. Totally down to earth and very basic, not at all what one imagines when you have their product in your hand. I was thinking assembly line, teams of people, industrial environment, etc etc.

News: Kanye West Meets "American Idol," Set To Make Appearence On Show
Friday, Mar 6, 2009 1:20PM
Rap star Kanye West has been selected to perform on next week's airing of Fox's "American Idol."
The Chi-town emcee will grace the stage among other past "Idol" winners.
Season 1 "Idol" winner Kelly Clarkson will perform her new hit single, "My Life Would Suck Without You," on March 11, during the Wednesday results show. In addition to Kelly, hip-hop star and 12-time Grammy Award winner Kanye West will also be on the "Idol" stage Wednesday, performing his hit single, "Heartless." (Access Hollywood)
Most of the show's finalists and runner-ups have rose to fame since winning.
The first six American Idol winners and runner-ups included Jordin Sparks, Blake Lewis, Taylor Hicks, Katharine McPhee, Carrie Underwood, Bo Bice, Fantasia, Ruben Studdard, Clay Aiken and Kelly Clarkson. (Star Tribune)
Jennifer Hudson lost during the competition but was able to still become an Academy Award-winning singer.
In 2004, she auditioned for and won a spot on the third season of American Idol along with eventual winner Fantasia Barrino. Though a strong contender and fan favorite from the start, Hudson would eventually become the sixth of the 12 finalists to get voted off the show. Hudson won a role in Dreamgirls and went on to receive not only critical acclaim for her performance, but also both a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Supporting Role and an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. (All Music)
The show is popular for placing amateur singers on a stage before judges.
The competition is narrowed down to two finalists who compete for a major recording contract and the American Idol title. Emmy Award-winning "American Idol" is created and executive-produced by Simon Fuller, founder of 19 Entertainment. The series is executive-produced by Cecile Frot-Coutaz, CEO, FremantleMedia North America, Inc.; and Ken Warwick, Executive Producer, FremantleMedia North America, Inc. (American Idol)

FORT MYERS: There have been three drowning incidents in Southwest Florida in the past seven days. Now the Department of Children and Families is reminding parents of the dangers of summer.
Now that it's warm enough to be in the water - the beaches, pools and local parks are busy.
DCF is making sure parents remember the safety guidelines - to have at least one set of eyes on the water and the kids at all times.
"There are tragedies and there are accidents. Parents don't intend for this to happen to their children. They're not negligent. They really only stepped away for a few minutes," said Erin Gillespie, of DCF.
Last year, DCF investigated eight drowning deaths in Southwest Florida, most of which happened in swimming pools.

Alright, I told you yesterday that today was learning day, so get out your learning caps. This will be fun.
Step 1: Get invited to home made ornament exchange party
Step 2: Peruse Pinterest for fun ideas
Step 3: Search high and low in your small desert town for clear glass ball ornaments
Step 4: Order clear glass ball ornaments online
Step 5: Set up your workstation. You will need: ornaments, acrylic paint and some paper towels. Maybe some small cups or egg crates as well (more info on why later)
Step 6: Pick what colors you want to use
Step 7: tilt the ornament and squeeze the paint so that it flows down the side of the inside of the ornament. Try not to let it drip and drop down to the bottom, the key is to get a good LINE of color down the side
Step 8: repeat with whatever colors you would like to use. I found that 2- 4 colors seem to work best. Any more than that and it kind of turns into a hot mess.
Step 9: Cover the top of the ornament with a paper towel and SHAKE the ornament until your little heart is content.
*Note: the WAY you shake the ornament will affect the pattern. I tried all sort of different shakes. Sideways, up and down, swirling in a circle etc….
Step 10: Make sure all sides of the ornament are coated
Step 11: let sit upside down in egg crate, paper cup or the plastic thing the ornament came in. **Note: I kind of regretted doing that because then they were full of paint and I couldn't set the ornaments back in them. Next time I will use something else to drain the paint.
Step 12: Check the progress of the paint drainage
Step 13: Make other beautiful ornaments
Step 14: Continue to check the drainage until it slows considerably
Step 15: Once all the paint has drained out, turn over the ornaments and let them dry thoroughly. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. If they don't dry out and you put the top back on, the paint will stay wet and continue to swirl around in your ornament. On some of mine, I capped them off two quickly and now all the paint is sitting at the bottom of the ornament all dried up. DON'T BE LIKE ME!
Step 16: Stand back and admire your work
Step 17: Clean up your mess because you know you made one
Step 18: Put pretty ribbons on the ornaments and take lots of pictures
Step 19: Put the ornaments in a bag and take them to the exchange and listen to everyone ooohhh and ahhhh at the prettyness.
Step 20: Be excited when a couple of people don't' show so you can take the leftover ornaments home and hang them on your own tree!
DONT FORGET TO COME BACK TOMORROW FOR THE MOST EXCITING NEWS OF THE YEAR!! (I know, a little dramatic, but what can I say? I'm excited!)
Are you going to make some home made ornaments?
If you can find clear glass ball ornaments easily in your town, will you send me some?
What is your favorite Christmas craft project?

Hey gang, welcome to my very special BIRTHDAY episode of Movieha! Unwrap this gift with your ears and meet me on the other side.
Hope you liked it! We're still running out of time for our insta-sequel segment, so it's going to remain a bonus episode on Monday. Below we have the weekend box office predictions, the trailer we mentioned in On Your Radar, and the Netflix movie for next week. But before we get to that, I have a special request for you: My cousin James Syrek is making a short film that I've had the pleasure of hearing lots about. It's a twisty, turny psychological thriller and I can't WAIT to see it get made. It's called Syncope, and it needs YOUR help. He's a bit short on the final bit of funding, so he needs a few well-intended investors to help him cross the finish line. Please, please, please head HERE to pitch in whatever you can to help a dear, dear friend and talented artist get his vision made. As anyone will tell you, indie flicks are hard to make, especially short films, so do what you can to help someone who I promise won't let you down get his vision to the world.
And now, BOX OFFICE HAIKUS!

On Your Radar: The Island Trailer
This is a weird blend of generic Hollywood movie...and insane Gondry-esque visuals. The dive straight into existentialism seems brilliant and blissful. I for one am in, what say you?
Netflix: Four Lions Trailer
Based on the recommendation of Andrew Merczak, we are willing to try this streaming flick about the funny side of terrorism. Bin Laden's dead, so we can all laugh about it now, right? No? Yeah, that's why I want to see if this works as well as it seems to in the trailer!

Can I be honest with you for a minute here? Good. We really enjoy this podcasting business. Matt and I are hopefully sound like we're having fun on the recording because we actually are. But that doesn't mean that we don't want YOU to have fun. Far from it. We're genuinely interested in collecting constructive criticism and suggestions for new segments, better ways to do old segments, or just things you like or dislike in general. The following little minisode is only 6 minutes or so in length and features an attempt at a potential new segment for the podcast. Give it a listen and then meet me on the other side of the fancy streaming-audio bar below.

Another affable outing with two British comedians.
Still a fun place to visit, provided you're not a woman.
This adaptation of Lois Lowry's beloved award-winning classic will be none of those things.
The only coming-of-age story anyone ever needs to make.
A gleeful space opera that is as visually stunning as it is hilarious.
A girl ingests a drug that makes her God. For real.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes
Those damned apes are back and anything but dirty.
Set in Stockholm in 1982, this is punk rock female adolescence at its finest.
Fail gloriously, if you must fail. Go down swinging for the fences, punchdrunk and confident you're making something truly...
A few quick confessions: Because we now have cameras, modern photorealistic paintings have always been, at best, modestly...
The proliferation of comic book movies has reached its cultural apex, so thoroughly dominating the box office and public...
It doesn't work this way with people, but there's a level of confident stupidity a movie can display that makes it...

Get PUMPED!
May 29, 2014 // Category: Hammer Strength
How intense is your everyday exercise? Even if you diligently go to the gym five times per week, you can still improve your output and results by changing the pace of your workouts. The secret to amping it up? Learning how to HIIT.
December 24, 2013 // Category: Fitness Advisor
Only one more day to "deck the halls" before the rubber meets the road. Yes, there is nothing so over as the holidays and when you are ready to burn off the holiday fruitcake, eggnog and sugar cookies. How about taking it up a notch and trying a high intensity interval workout? High intensity intervals not only yield results, they give the motto, "Work harder not longer," true meaning. You don't have to burn up hours in the gym to burn off your post holiday sluggishness, just try a HIIT workout!
April 01, 2013 // Category: Fitness Advisor
I love to teach high-intensity interval training (HIIT) classes. You could say I'm addicted to the adrenaline rush I get when I complete a class all sweaty and feeling totally worked over. I also teach yoga. It's quite a contrast to my other workouts, and that contrast is a good thing. The essence of yoga is to relax, rejuvenate, recharge, release and refresh. I love all that, but I must admit it doesn't come as naturally to me as the adrenaline rush of my other workouts. I've had to teach myself to just let go and appreciate the mission of yoga.
Still, sometimes that mission seems to get jumbled in the fitness/yoga world. I've heard people say, "That yoga class is so hard. It kicks my butt." I have to wonder: Is yoga supposed to kick your butt?
I'm not sure if there's a right answer to that. I do believe that trying new poses and stretching yourself (no pun intended) to new challenges in yoga is good, but in a "yoga" way, not in a "this workout is going to kill me" way.

AAC&U is leading an effort to develop an e-portfolio framework for assessing a wider array of learning outcomes than those measured by these other tests. The project is developing practices in assessment based upon actual student work collected over time in an e-portfolio. Titled Valid Assessment of Learning in Undergraduate Education (VALUE), this research and development effort will collect and synthesize best practices in faculty-developed rubrics to highlight commonalities of outcomes and expectation of achievement levels across institutions. AAC&U also will develop models and templates through which e-portfolios can be used to demonstrate, share, and assess student accomplishment of advanced and integrative learning outcomes.
More information on our work in e-portfolios can be found at VALUE: Valid Assessment of Learning in Undergraduate Education.

to go with our whine nor do we need a split title. I was at the game last night and was a little overwhelmed by all of the "split title" talk by fellow Longhorns. Let me say by the way that I was also pleasantly overwhelmed with all of the pre-game festivities and how OSU and their fans proved to be up for the challenge. Now back to the split title...that ship sailed when we were denied access into the Big 12 Championship. Let OU and UF battle it out Thursday night for the 2008 title and let's focus our passion and hopes on 2009. Utah is the only program outside of the BCS Title game participants who can honestly gripe about being denied a title or title shot. In fact, I hope Utah makes all kinds of stink about it and it gets a lot of pub and maybe even a little Congressional talk (not that it matters in today's world). The reality is that until the majority of conferences (which is mostly non-BCS schools) rally against the current system, it will not change. Every three years when a non-BCS conference school gets denied a chance at an unbeaten record meaning something it is also one more chance for the fires of protest to begin to rage.
As far as Texas, I have said repeatedly, both on this website as well as talking and blogging with Houston-area sports people, that this team is eerily familar to the 2004 Texas Longhorns. Just like them, the 2008 team beat a Big-10 team in a BCS bowl game in dramatic fashion. Just like them, the current team will be losing a few, but meaningful seniors, but will also have a core nucleus intact to strengthen going into the following season. The 2005 Longhorns and the 2009 Longhorns have the same conference schedule as the year before. Key players from some of those conference opponents from the prior year are no where to be found the next. This Longhorn team is set up to make an incredible push for the National Title in 2009. I am excited and can't wait for opening kickoff against ULM to start that journey.
However, in the meantime, I would hope that fans can be passionate, yet reserved when discussing what could have been in 2008. That, and all of the drama with it, is out of our hands, yet 2009 is in our collective grasp! Thanks to Colt, the Longhorn Dynasty will add another notch in their belt in 2009 as the keys to the car get turned over to Gilbert in 2010 much like they were with Colt in 2006 after VY helped win the title for us in 2005.

BWW Reviews: Jewish Museum Reveals the Darkness and Thoughtfulness of Marc Chagall
Unlike many of his fellow modernists, Marc Chagall is both impossible to dislike and difficult to respect. He certainly had one of the most endearing methods in modernist painting--a method that threw together inverted houses and soaring streets, blue cows and yellow birdmen, rabbis and lovers and huge flying clocks, all executed in scrubby brushstrokes and gemstone colors. Part Vitebsk Jewish homebody, part continental European cosmopolite, Chagall always delivers a few ingratiating surprises. If you find Russian abstract artists like Kandinsky and Malevich aloof, affected, and condescending (which they are, for both better and worse), Chagall is your man. But because of the frequent loveliness and approachability of Chagall's painting, even the best of his canvases--including the much-hyped and rightly-hyped I and the Village--can seem like Fiddler on the Roof on LSD. Or like marvelous-hued schlock, to put it less kindly.
Chagall: Love, War, and Exile at the Jewish Museum flips this situation; taken together, the 53 paintings and drawings on display make Chagall a little harder to relish and a lot easier to respect. At the center of the exhibition are Chagall's World War II-era paintings of Christ and the Crucifixion--which, as curator Susan Tumarkin Goodman explains in her catalog preface, transform "the story of Jesus's martyrdom" into "an effective expression of the Holocaust." These canvases don't overturn Chagall's reputation for whimsy, but they do impart an indelible dark magic to the experience of looking at him, image by brutal image. As never before, his paintings can be mentioned in the same breath as the devilishly dreamlike novels of Dovid Bergelson, the raucously vicious prose poetry of Osip Mandelstam, the quick and concussive short stories of Isaac Babel--works by other Russian Jewish masters who responded to 20th-century traumas, and responded with the same combination of loving technique and ideological blunt force that is so present in these Chagalls.
Having already witnessed the wicked, leering imagination that Chagall brought to his work for the theater--and believe me, Chagall's monster costumes always have been and always will be the best thing about Stravinsky's Firebird--I feel like I should have seen this coming. But I didn't, and because the Jewish Museum starts the exhibition with innocuous flight-of-fancy canvases like The Lovers and Lovers Among the Lilacs, maybe you won't either. To some extent, Love, War, and Exile is a tribute to the private romances that sustained Chagall while the civilization he loved was seething and disintegrating. Composed in the 1930s, the Lovers paintings are tributes to Chagall's beloved first wife Bella, who appeared and reappeared in Chagall's iconography until her sudden death in 1944.
Chagall also started tamping down his style during the 1930s, for various reasons and with uneven results. Between 1934 and 1935 he executed a true-to-life portrait of Bella, and executed it with all the misplaced sentiment and technical clumsiness of a high school junior taking a studio art elective. In his fine catalog essay, "Fluid Chaos Felt by the Soul", Kenneth E. Silver offers a possible explanation for such missteps: "A veritable flood of turbulent imagery was the aesthetic rule of Chagall's oeuvre. It was as if even the artist's slightest attempt to tame or normalize his subject matter might lead to a stifling of his creative flow." Nonetheless, Chagall's uncharacteristic reserve could serve poignant aesthetic purposes. This is what happens in the superb 1933 canvas Solitude, which has many of the ingredients of a stereotypical Chagall--rabbi, violin, angel, village, personified livestock, so on and so on--and none of Chagall's typical exuberance. It's as though Chagall, remembering Russia's history of anti-Semitism and looking toward Europe in worry, has temporarily put his colors and his fantasies on hold, bracing himself for the hell to come.

Poor battery life
I have tried several fitness trackers (fitbit ultra, fitbit one, jawbone Up) and when the Up started playing up thought I would gi I have tried several fitness trackers (fitbit ultra, fitbit one, jawbone Up) and when the Up started playing up thought I would give this a go, especially as it's a second version.
Setup and connection to my iPhone5 was fine, although it's a bit disappointing you must use a computer to set it up.
The band worked OK, session tracking is a little odd. I tracked an exercise bike session which of course didnt really track the correct intensity, so I edited it. That then seemed to be it. I couldnt then edit the intensity of a rowing workout done the next evening.
Tracking sleep appears literally to be a record of when you press the start and stop button. Whilst being able to track more detailed sleep is a contentious subject, this seems like someone can tick a box rather than providing useful stats.
All this could be lived with if the battery life was better. Mine last two days, and died during the night so lost my sleep session. It took over an hour to recharge in the morning.
Reading the spec, it seems the small band has a smaller capacity battery so perhaps this is expected. I thought the Up was bad at about 4-5 days!
Full marks to my local apple store for accepting the return with no hassles. i think i'll wait until the fitbit force is released, this is too much money to only run for a couple of days. …

The race in Reno's Ward 5 is a prime example of how term limits are impacting candidates. Dave Aiazzi has termed out in that seat and is now running for the Washoe District School Board. And a current County Commissioner is taking a run at Aiazzi's seat on the council. She's running against a local businesswoman.
Kitty Jung has been on the Washoe County Commissioner for five years now. She was first appointed to fill a vacancy and then elected. So she is now just halfway through her term. So why make the move?
"I think that with the majority of the Reno City Council members changing they will need someone on the council that can deal with a $600-million budget," she said. "Plus, I have experience negotiating with big bargaining units and I have the highest bond-rating on the Washoe County Commission."
Jung was the only Commissioner to back Reno Mayor Bob Cashell in voting to continue the city/county fire services consolidation. She says that's saved taxpayers between $45-$47 million over the 12 years it was in place.
"At this point we have 3-man crews working the unincorporated areas and so they get less service and we've increased their taxes during the worst recession we've ever experienced, Jung said. "I don't think that is sustainable and I don't think it's wise."
Neoma Jardon is a newcomer to politics. She's spent 20 years managing a statewide law office and says that gives her the experience for important negotiations.
"I've spent time at the table with large personalities and I know it's sometimes not what you say but how you say it that can make it positive or negative and we've seen too much of that lately with the city," she said.
Jardon says she's heard the same sentiment from voters over and over again..
"They say that it's great that the city works to bring in new business but that it's hard as existing businesses to get the recognition when you expand or create jobs. I think that's a priority for me and it should be for the city council as well."
And she says the council has lost its common sense with projects like the downtown parking system.
"I think it's just something that was done without considering the global impact and the inconvenience factor," she said. "And obviously not the cost."
