Why I chose the 8X over the Lumia 920
(via TheMetroZone3)
I got the HTC Windows Phone 8X in January this year. I upgraded from a Nokia Lumia 800, after the news of Windows Phone 7.X support. But why did I buy the 8X and not the Lumia 920? Let's find out!
P.S. I have used the Lumia 920, my brother owns one.
I've got one thing to say about the design: Wow! This is, no doubt, the most comfortable and beautiful piece of technology I have ever held! The curved back with the soft-touch coating makes it feel like it's made for my hand. The curved back also makes it feel like it is really, really thin.
This is in no way bad, as it still is really comfortable. This is in one of the areas it beats the 920, because the Lumia 920 feels really thick to me. The 8X is a really tall device; the height is two times the width. This has its pros and cons. The cons is that it's a bit taller than needed with the bezels up and down. The pros are that they can fit more stuff in it (battery and alike). For me, I don't care about the "unnecessary" height. Since the device is so slim on the width side it gets really easy to hold, unlike the Lumia 920. It does bother when reaching for the power-button, though, as you will have to stretch your hand a bit more.
It has a few more complications, too. The buttons for camera, volume and power are a bit hard to press. You get used to it, but it certainly could be better. The back also gets scratched easily, but that is not really a problem since it barely shows.
This phone is really a looker! I've got the "California Blue" 8X, which is a blue color which looks purple in a lot of scenes. This depends on the lighting, but no matter if it looks purple or blue, it is absolutely gorgeous! The buttons look a bit different than the rest of the body, like it is more "metal". It's not bad in any way, but I would have wanted them to be the same color as the rest of the body. Pictures can't do it justice, even less can my words; you need to see the beauty with your own eyes!
As far as build quality goes, it's really good! But it may differ from device to device whether the body is perfect. On some of them, the glass panel doesn't lay perfect with the polycarbonate body when they meet. This isn't a deal breaker, but it is a bit unfortunate. When I got my phone back from repair, there was a big gap between the two parts on the side which really bothers me. Other than that the build quality is great! It may not take a fall as good as a 920, but it will take it better than an iPhone 4/4S. I was unfortunate and dropped it right on the power button, which broke the phone completely, but that is some extreme bad luck!
The display on the 8X is truly amazing! It's bright and shows really accurate colors, except for blacks which look grey. The Lumia 920 probably has the better screen, with its 60Hz IPS display. The 8X does have a tad higher PPI, though, but you probably won't notice. The display, nevertheless, is great! The viewing angles are OK, nothing more, but the HD display shows everything really crisp and clear! It's a HUGE improvement coming from my Lumia 800, with its WVGA pentile AMOLED display. The 800 really looks horrendous in comparison to the 8X.
The touch panel is as responsive as it could be and the slightly curved glass feels great when swiping on the glass. It doesn't get as greasy as my Lumia 800, which is great!
Okay, this round truly goes to the Lumia 920! Its rare camera is MUCH better in low light and a tad better with good lighting. But the 8X's cameras are not bad, they are actually really good! With good lighting the rear camera gets really nice photos and the front-facing camera is quite good for what it is. It captures a larger image than most other smartphones and has an acceptable 1080p resolution.
The cameras are in no way groundbreaking, or even as good as the Lumia 920's, but they are more than enough for most scenarios!
The battery life on the HTC 8X is good. It's not incredible like the Razr Maxx, but it will get you through a day! I never feel like I have to worry about the battery dying on me or that I need to keep a charger in my bag. If you are a real power-user, though, you might want to invest in a portable charger, as the HTC 8X's battery not is removable.
Audio-wise, there are two parts of the story. The first part is the speaker, and the other part is the Beats Audio-deal. So let's start off with the first part. The speaker is really good! It's loud and clear with nice audio quality. It doesn't distort even at the highest volumes. It probably isn't the loudest phone-speaker, but it is quite loud. Compared to my old Lumia 800, this one is a breath of fresh air! I constantly missed calls and texts with my 800 just because I couldn't hear it! This does still happen, but not nearly as often.
Okay, so Beats Audio. I will say this; some will hate it, some will love it. What it does is pretty much increase the bass of your song. Having an EQ, like the Lumia 920, is better unfortunately, but there's more to the Beats. This phone has a 2W audio output instead of the usual 1W. This means your headphones can use more power, giving a louder and, in some cases, better sound. I actually like the Beats Audio enhancement, I guess I'm a bit of a "basshead". I haven't had the chance to play with the EQ of the Lumia 920, but I bet I could get that experience, if not better, on it. As far as the 2W/1W story goes, I used to be able to tell a difference. Until recently I had a pair of cheap on-ear headphones (~30$), and with Beats Audio activated I got almost double the volume! But since recently I bought myself a pair of good headphones, the Nokia Purity HD's, and the difference is almost non-existent with these. I am no audio expert, so I don't know why this is the case, but I do know this was my experience.
I will not go into detail about Windows Phone 8. I'll just say I love and feel like it's the only smartphone OS which I really enjoy using. What I will talk about, though, is the software extras you get on the 8X, versus what you get on a Lumia.
On the 8X, you get nothing extraordinary. The only things that you can get on the 8X and not the Lumia are Beats Audio and HTC's clock tile. That's it. It's really quite embarrassing, and this probably turns a lot of people to Nokia. But for me, it was a bit different. I felt like I didn't need all the extra apps that came with the Lumias. Why? Because on my Lumia 800, the only Nokia app I regularly used was "counter", a data checker, which I do miss.
If you go HTC, you get a clock and Beats Audio, if you go Nokia you get Nokia Music, Creative studio, Counter, Ringtone Maker, exclusive games, display settings and more and more. I really do understand why you would go Nokia.
So you've probably noticed there aren't many reasons to get the HTC Windows Phone 8X over the Nokia Lumia 920. What you probably got from the text was that I liked the design more... and I like the clock tile. But there is a bit more. One thing is pricing. Here in Sweden, we have a different system than the US when it comes to phone plans. Either we buy the phone unlocked or get a 1- or 2-year plan for the phone. If it's more expensive, the phone plan is more expensive. The HTC 8X costs about 1000 SEK, or 100£, less than the Lumia 920 in Sweden, giving it a lower price on a 2-year phone plan. It's quite a lot of money in the end.
The other reason is a bit more on the design. It was like this, when I saw the HTC 8X for the first time, I fell in love. I just couldn't get it off my mind! I even put it as a wallpaper on my PC because I thought it was so beautiful! I just didn't feel that way about the Lumia 920. Plus, the color of the 8X was much more preferred than the ones of the Lumia 920, but that's just me.
Nevertheless, it truly is an awesome phone! The Lumia 920 may have a better camera and screen, more apps and an audio EQ, but the HTC 8X is still great, and the design excels above anything else on the market right now! But in the end, it all comes down to personal preference.

The only correction would be to Richard Hope Wright probably being born in JOHNSON County, not Jackson County. I would be glad to take over administration of these memorials...the HOPE family is part of m family lines...

RE: Bertha Stoner
Hi. Thanks for the help. Jack Stoner was his name. He is buried near Dallas. Bertha is my grandmother on my dad's side. I did do the changes you requested. After I looked at it. It made sense. Thanks again. Bobby

Bertha Stoner
I just realized why you thought it should be corrected to just Stoner, a person may not find her at all with Brewer/Stoner as a last name. I added the last name Brewer to her maiden name so it reads DeWitt Brewer, and the memorial will recognize Stoner, and a family member will know it's her with the Brewer name attached, thanks for bringing it to my attention, Bobby

Bertha Bethina Dewitt Brewer/ Stoner
I noticed you sent me a request to edit Betha's memorial page, I have it listed that way because her maiden name is Bertha Bethina DeWitt, she married a Brewer and after his death she remarried and took the name of Stoner and when she passed, she was buried under Stoner, I have her listed under Brewer, because all her kids were Brewer's, and that way they may find her on findAGrave, does that make any sense? Let me know what you think, I'm willing to edit it if you can convince me of a better reason to memorialize her memorial, are you related to Bertha in some manner?, Bobby

There are three families who have spent hours at North Dakota's State Capitol this session, sharing their painful stories of the effects of drinking and driving.
They brought pictures of their kids and even a wrecked car to help deliver their message to lawmakers.
Today, their work is done.
Governor Jack Dalrymple signs the DUI bill into law.
Donnell Preskey has the story.
<<"House Bill 1302 is now law."
These families and legislators celebrate a tougher DUI law.
But the real faces behind this legislation can only be here in memory.
Juan Ruiz says, "I won't allow the death of my boys to go in vain."
"We wanted to do this for our kids," says Arlene Deutscher.
The Deutscher's, Mickelsons, and the Ruiz' family were very visible this legislative session, making personal pleas for tougher drinking and driving laws.
Governor Dalrymple's signature makes major changes to the state's DUI laws with stiffer fines and more time in jail.
Now the Ruiz boys and the Deutshcer family will live through this historic legislation.
"Happy to see the private families could have a voice in changing the law," says Lynn Mickelson.
Even Governor Dalrymple commends the families for their courage.
They had the bravery to work through their pain and make a change for all of North Dakota...
"Honestly, Arlene and I just don't want anyone to go through this, its a life sentence for us," says Tom Deutscher.
Ruiz says, "change is happening and it will continue to change everyday."
"The one change we will never know, is which lives did we help save. But we will know some have been saved," says Mickelson.
There hasn't been much celebrating since July when drunk drivers killed their loved ones, but today they say they can smile.
August 1st will be another "good" day... The day the new law goes into effect.
"It's ended, we were successful," says Mickelson.>>
Dalrymple says 52% of accidents in North Dakota are alcohol related, the national average is 31%.
6,000 North Dakotan's were arrested for DUI in 2011.
Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted people of other religions. More>>

Train them.... Arm them.... Then turn them loose on the zombies!
At the tail end of 1917, the Germans introduced a new type of gas to the battlefield, T-Leiche, or "corpse gas," and changed the face of the war by resurrecting the bodies of the dead, giving the enemy an almost unlimited source of fresh troops. When the American ace Major Jack Freeman - poster boy for the war against the Kaiser's undead army of shamblers - is downed over enemy lines and taken captive, veteran Captain Michael "Madman" Burke is the only man brave and foolish enough to accept the mission to recover Freeman. Burke assembles a team of disparate members, from his right-hand man, Sergeant Moore, to big-game-hunter-turned-soldier Clayton Manning, who funds the mission for an opportunity to confront this most dangerous zombie game, to professor Dan Graves, one of Tesla's top men and the resident authority on all things supernatural. With the help of a highly advanced British dirigible war machine to infiltrate enemy territory, the team faces incredible danger as it struggles to reach the prison camp and strike at the heart of the enemy.
But they are pitted against the most deadly enemy of all: Manfred von Richthofen, the Red Baron. Having risen from the dead with his abilities enhanced but his mind on the brink of madness, Richthofen has plans for victory that give no quarter to soldiers or civilians.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Polls will open in just two months and you'll be able to decide, alcohol or no alcohol. One group supporting packaged sales in the Lubbock city limits went public today. It's not November but it is campaign season. Lubbock County Wins threw its name in the hat on the pro-alcohol side of this issue Wednesday. The group filed necessary paper work with the county and state about a month ago, and say they have the money and the man power to win. If it's going to happen they say now is the time.
The sound of a truck unloading alcohol at Matthew Kendrick's Lubbock Fast Stop stores would be music to his ears. "From our business stand point it can be night and day having alcohol and not having it," says Matthew Kendrick. He's a committee member of Lubbock County Wins, a pro-alcohol group that's running on the bottom line. "You don't have to drink if we sell it. It has nothing to do with who is right and wrong. For us, it's from an economics standpoint. It's been legal in Texas for a long time now and we'd like to reap some of the benefits," says Kendrick.
John Hatch with Texas Petition Strategies says $100,000 to $150,000 will be spent on this campaign to educate voters. "These campaigns rarely fail on facts. They fail on rumor and innuendo," says Hatch. "We believe legal citizens should have legal right to purchase legal product," he adds. With seven convenience stores in the Amarillo area, Kendrick says he knows firsthand what alcohol sales can do for business. "We really want to see Lubbock wet. We don't have to move business to Midland or Amarillo," says Kendrick.
We tried contacting the opposing committee, Truth About Alcohol Sales and haven't heard back. With the election just two months away this is just the beginning. Both sides will campaign until polls close on May 9th. NewsChannel 11 will continue to follow both sides of the campaign until you, the voter, decide the outcome.

Ring of Fire: The Music of Johnny Cash - Sept. 14
From the cotton fields of Arkansas to the Grand Ole Opry, celebrate the storied life and musical legacy of Johnny Cash through a foot-stomping revue of such classics as "I Walk the Line," "Folsom Prison Blues" and "A Boy Named Sue."
Rather than doing a straight-up Cash impersonation, a company of performers will guide you through Cash's repertoire-from gospel to folk, from rock to blues to country-setting the stage ablaze in this touching and exuberant musical tribute.
Weiss Kaplan Newman Trio - Sept. 27
Acclaimed for fresh, energetic, performances and exacting technical skill, the trio's Center Stage program will highlight Luther's newly refurbished nine-foot Steinway piano with an all-Beethoven bill, including the "Ghost" piano trio (op. 70, no. 1), the "Pathetique" piano sonata (op. 13, no. 8), and the trio in E-flat major (op. 70, no. 2).
Tango Fire - Oct. 15
Hailing from the birthplace of tango-Buenos Aires-10 dancers, a world-renowned singer, and a brilliant quartet bring their fevered sounds and fiery dance to the stage.
Masters of the Fiddle: Natalie MacMaster and Donnell Leahy - Nov. 1
Fiddlers MacMaster and Leahy bring a whirlwind of fiddle-driven music, dance and song, combining the best of French, Celtic, bluegrass and even Cajun styles. The husband-and-wife team will engage the audience with the foot-tapping rave-ups, heart-wrenching ballads and world-class step dancing that have brought audiences to their feet on three continents.
Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain - Nov. 16
Eight ukulele masters spread a spirit of wit, playfulness and camaraderie as they strum through a diverse repertoire that includes everything from Tchaikovsky to Nirvana to Otis Redding.
Their irreverent approach to music belies their serious musicianship, which has landed them at Carnegie Hall and the Sydney Opera House.
Audience members are encouraged to bring their own ukuleles for a ukulele-along.
Simon Shaheen Ensemble - Feb. 13
Simon Shaheen's technique, melodic ingenuity and grace have earned him international acclaim as a virtuoso on the oud and violin.
He dazzles audiences as he deftly leaps from traditional Arabic sounds to jazz and Western classical styles. With a complement of six musicians and a vocalist, his ensemble will mesmerize listeners with Shaheen's sultry, distinctive brand of Middle Eastern-jazz fusion.
Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, Aquila Theatre company - Feb. 21
One of the most revered novels of the 20th century, Fahrenheit 451 is Ray Bradbury's dystopian tale of a bleak future where books are banned and knowledge is on the edge of extinction.
With its skill at creating innovative and modern productions of great works of literature, the Aquila Theatre uses a minimal set and high-caliber performers to breathe new life into this visionary parable of a society gone awry.
Ticket-holders are invited to a pre-performance talk with the company at 6:30 p.m.
Notes from the Balcony: Boston Brass and Enso String Quartet - March 8
Performing music inspired by "Romeo and Juliet," including selections from the Nino Rota score, as well as pieces by Kabalevsky, Prokofiev, Elvis Costello and Leonard Bernstein, the Boston Brass quintet and Enso String Quartet make an unusual nine-piece ensemble that creates stirring, powerful music paying homage to Shakespeare's star-crossed lovers.
River North Dance Chicago- March 14
Filled with knockout dancers, bold music and commanding choreography, this dynamic, contemporary troupe will perform three pieces, including a new commission set to the music of American vocalist Eva Cassidy.
With Cassidy's stunning voice as a backdrop, the kinetic energy of the group is palpable. Artistic director Frank Chavez says, "I don't want people to just come see River North; I want people to feel River North."
Pianist Philip Glass - April 4
Debuting a program that features his most recent etudes for piano and classics in Glass's repertoire, this concert provides a glimpse into the intricacies of the composer's work. Speaking from the piano bench, Glass personally introduces the program.

Spiritual Gifts: Knowledge
To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit. (1 Cor. 12:8 NIV)
The Spiritual Gift of Knowledge Defined
The word of knowledge is the ability to research, remember, and make effective use of a variety of information on a number of diverse subjects.
People with the Gift of Knowledge
These people love to study, love to learn, and are not content with a surface-level knowledge of topics. They are compelled to conduct thorough research and compile their findings so that others can benefit from their long hours of focused study. People with this spiritual gift love God with all their mind (Mark 12:29-30). And these people tend to like footnotes.
Knowledge in Jesus' Ministry
Throughout his ministry, Jesus frequently quoted the Old Testament Scriptures from memory because he had committed himself to studying Scripture so faithfully. Jesus also rebuked the scholars of his day because they studied the Bible but failed to love him, which is the purpose of all study (John 5:39). Knowledge is illustrated in the lives of Ezra (Ezra 7:10), Solomon (Ecclesiastes 1:13; 7:25; 8:9), and Timothy (2 Timothy 2:15).
Do You Have This Gift?
Here are some questions to ask yourself:
- Do you love to study?
- Do you have a good memory that retains and compiles lots of information?
- Have others frequently pointed out your ability to know and understand God's Word?
- Do people often come to you with difficult problems and questions from the Bible, seeking your insight because they know you will have the answer or find it?
- In studying God's Word, have you found that new insights and understanding of difficult subjects come easy to you?
- Are you frustrated when you hear bad teaching from someone who has not done their homework?

PERMATANG PAUH: The excitement over the appearance of a "clone" of Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim fizzled out when the man failed to attend a ceramah in Kubang Semang.
The man, believed to be from Thailand, is said to be the "actor" in the alleged sex tape featuring a man resembling the opposition leader.
PKR candidate for the Sungai Acheh seat, Badrul Hisham Shaharin, said a police colonel from Thailand, who did a forensic investigation on the video, was also supposed to attend the ceramah with proof that Anwar was not the man featured in the tape.
The group escorting the colonel is said to have been held up at a police station in Alor Setar.
A forensic findings of the sex tape, however, made its way to the ceramah and was displayed to the public.
The findings implied that Anwar was not the man in the video.

Samsung 840 EVO SSD availability?
I'm trying to find some Samsung 840 EVO SSD availability, but none of the usual online stores have it (Amazon, Newegg, Tiger Direct, etc). I found some relatively unknown stores that say they have it, but I'm not sure I can trust them.
Has anyone gotten their hands on one yet? I'm looking at the 750 GB capacity.

Senator McConnell says we shouldn't have a CFPB at all
Senator Mitch McConnell (KY) told Wall Street and other bankers yesterday that "If I had my way, we wouldn't have the [CFPB] at all."
McConnell has been leading a group of 43 Senators -- under Senate rules, a minority of 41 or more Senators can block action -- who are demanding gutting changes to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's funding, authority, structure and independence as their price to confirm the CFPB's well-qualified director, Rich Cordray, to a full term.
Of course, no one has forgotten the spectacular financial collapse caused by Wall Street shenanigans and a lack of regulation. It shouldn't be that hard to recall; it happened just five years ago and the economy is still recovering. Even Senator McConnell and his Wall Street patrons haven't forgotten; they simply don't like Wall Street reform. They want a return to the old unregulated days when bankers could take risks without responsibility. The result? They destroyed the lives of millions of Americans who lost jobs or homes or retirement savings or all three.
That's why the American Bankers Association (yesterday's venue for McConnell), the Financial Services Roundtable, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association and many, many other powerful special interests continue to attack and delay every new public protection enacted in the 2010 Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
And while they are fighting the Volcker rule to limit risky betting by commercial banks using other peoples' money, opposing full restitution to the homeowners that they wrongly foreclosed on (while bouncing some of the checks they actually do send them) and even challenging the extremely modest SEC rule that would require them to disclose the ratio between the pay of their CEO and their median (meaning half make more, half make less) employee , their strongest opposition is reserved for the very idea of the CFPB. What's the CFPB? It's our first and only federal financial agency with just one job, protecting consumers, no matter where they buy their financial products.
What are some of the protections we wouldn't have at all, if Senator McConnell and Wall Street have their way and we didn't have a CFPB at all?
Protections consumers wouldn't have at all, if we didn't have a CFPB at all: Nearly half a billion dollars in refunds from big credit card companies Capital One, Discover and American Express -- all sued by the CFPB for unfair practices, including the marketing of supposedly-free useless credit card add-ons.
Protections veterans and servicemembers wouldn't have at all, if we didn't have a CFPB at all: A special team of advocates and investigators looking out for service members and veterans, and going after those who systematically target them with financial scams, illegally foreclose on them or hustle them into sleazy for-profit school contracts.
Protections consumers wouldn't have at all, if we didn't have a CFPB at all: The CFPB's complaint system and public database of consumer complaints. The CFPB's complaint system has been widely praised for delivering swift and serious results. In the early going, more than half of those using the system for credit-card complaints received monetary relief. The public database ensures a swift response to complaints (no company wants to be Number One on this list!) and enables academics and other researchers to probe the problems that plague financial markets and suggest priority solutions.
Protections senior citizens wouldn't have at all, if we didn't have a CFPB at all: An Office of Older Americans, helping them with investment choices and going after "clever scam artists or desperate family members targeting you because of your home equity or net worth."
Protections consumers wouldn't have at all, if we didn't have a CFPB at all: A federal regulator with the authority to supervise (or examine) payday lenders, mortgage companies and private student lenders of any size, and, so far, also larger credit bureaus and debt collectors, with larger student loan servicing firms next on the CFPB's radar. Being able to look inside the previously "black box" activities of these non-bank firms for possible future problems will help stop bad behavior and violations before they occur.
Protections students wouldn't have at all, if we didn't have a CFPB at all: First, all students wouldn't have "Know Before You Owe" tools to help students understand and compare college costs and financial-aid offers. Second, students wouldn't have a place to go with complaints about private education loans or for-profit school scams.
Protections consumers at risk of lending discrimination wouldn't have at all, if we didn't have a CFPB at all: An Office of Fair Lending to "ensure that all Americans have fair, equitable, and nondiscriminatory access to credit...[CFPB] will use every tool at our disposal to protect American consumers."
The list goes on and on. It continues from here with major new protections for homeowners against unfair mortgage practices and even includes protections for consumers sending funds to families overseas. Find more about the protections that the CFPB provides to make markets work for both consumers and fair-dealing firms here at the Americans for Financial Reform page Ten Reasons We Need The CFPB.
I encourage readers to take a look at the CFPB's latest Semi-Annual Report to Congress for more discussion of its accomplishments and ongoing investigations and projects. Director Cordray will present the report at an oversight hearing of the Senate Banking Committee next Tuesday, 23 April at 10am. You should be able to watch the hearing live here.
After you read the report or watch the hearing, I think you will agree that what Senator McConnell and Wall Street want -- no CFPB at all -- doesn't serve the public interest, only special interests. It doesn't serve consumers at all.
Building a positive brand takes time, but in the end it is a necessary step in making
sure that your business is around for a very very long time.
Marketing on the internet is a fast paced environment and you do not want to get yourself needlessly bogged

10 Robust Services To Determine How Fast Your Web Page Loads
Site owners often need to bookmark a number of web page speed testing web tools. These tests include site loading time testers, optimization testers, site comparison tools, and performance tools of any web page. You can read our previous post too where we discussed 7 Excellent Websites To Test And Compare Website Speed.
If you are looking for these tools, then look no further. Below you will find our list of free online web page loading speed tools. Read about each of the ten entries and determine yourself which one is most useful for you and bookmark-worthy.

If you have a worldwide audience, or your site is hosted in a different country from where your visitors live, it is useful to see how long it takes to load your web pages. With loads.in you simply enter the full URL of the page you want to check, and the page is retreived by a browser at a random location. For each subsequent check you can choose a specific location and browser profile too.
Rapid Searchmetrics: Website Speed Test
The website speedtester shows the duration of a given website. This value can be used for showing how long a website take to load and if it is better to optimize
the website or change a (slow) ISP.

With the full HTML page-test tool you will be able to analyze in detail which object slows down your web page, and you can see how to optimize your website. Time bars are used to indicate the load times of all objects.

speeds. You can run simple tests or perform advanced testing including multi-step transactions, video capture, content blocking and much more. Your results will
provide rich diagnostic information including resource loading waterfall charts, Page Speed optimization checks and suggestions for improvements.
Pingdom Tools Full page Test

Prototypes from ARM partners, Qualcomm, California Instruments, & NVIDIA, together with method builders Wistron, Foxconn, & Quanta, were shown off. The Qualcomm & TI devices were both tablets, the NVIDIA tool a traditional clamshell laptop computer. An AMD Llano-powered laptop computer was also on display, as was an Intel-powered method. The ARM units all billed as development devices than anything that will reach the market, but show that the program is jogging on ARM-powered machines, & looks identical to its x86 counterpart.
Not long after showing off the new Windows 8 touch interface at the D9 conference, Microsoft gave another demo at Computex in Taipei. Where the D9 demo had been about the program, & used regular Intel processors, the focus at Computex was on the hardware: Windows 8 was jogging on a range of system-on-chip (SoC) designs, including those with ARM processors.
The company also disclosed a quantity of the hardware constraints that Windows 8 tablets will must follow. To get the new interface, tablets will must offer a resolution of at least 1024×768. Anything lower & they are going to be stuck with a derivative of the classic Windows 7 shell. Increasing the resolution from the five:3 1024×768 to the 16:9 1366×768 will additionally enable the "snap" side-by-side multitasking view that was demonstrated.

The Scoop on Creamery Ice Cream
I've heard on a few occasions that the reason Penn State creamery ice cream isn't sold away from campus is because the fat content is too high to meet FDA standards. Is there really any truth to this?
Alexander Suero '03
New York, N.Y.
Berkey Creamery Manager Tom Palchak '80 responds:
This is by far the biggest urban legend affecting the Creamery. The FDA establishes standards-of-identity for every food item in the United States. Regarding ice cream, there are minimum standards for milk fat and composition. There are no maximum standards for milk fat content, so the truth is the exact opposite of the urban legend! We don't sell the ice cream off-campus because that would be competing with companies in the dairy industry.
The Obelisk
I always thought one of the more humorous myths was that the (Pennsylvania geology) obelisk standing between Willard and Sackett buildings would topple and fall if a virgin ever walked by it. Still standing after all these years.
Lew Jury '63, '73
Manheim, Pa.
Simon Bronner, Penn State Harrisburg's Distinguished Professor of American Studies and Folklore and author of Piled Higher and Deeper: The Folklore of Campus Life, notes nearly every college campus has structures that will reportedly crumble or statues that will come to life should a true virgin pass by. Bronner said this form of campus folklore dates to when women ("coeds") first arrived on college campuses in significant numbers. A small group of women at Penn State in the late 1960s staged a protest at the Obelisk, demanding that it crumble, to show the sexist nature of the legend, which was generally applicable only to female students. In today's more liberated era, many students have never heard the legend of the Obelisk's purported powers.
I loved the Campus Legends: Fact or Fiction? feature but I am appalled by the mistake in the "Ghosts Among Us" story. I have been away from campus for many years but, unless someone moved him, I am certain that Atherton is buried alongside Schwab Auditorium. While he was a great academician, he was not "Penn State's first president." That honor will always belong to Evan Pugh.
Michael J. McLaughlin Jr. '82
Durham, N.C.
Penn State's seventh president, George Atherton, is indeed still buried next to Schwab Auditorium and it is his ghost that allegedly roams the building. One of the many advantages of e-newsletters like AlumnInsider is that the error was fixed as soon as Mr. McLaughlin brought it to our attention.
More Adventures with Stand Up Joe
I was a junior at Penn State when the Stand Up Joe came out. I knew immediately it would be the perfect birthday present for my dad, Allie Eichelberger. At the time, I had a class with his daughter, Diana Paterno. I didn't know her well, but of course everyone knew who she was. I summoned the courage to ask her if she would be willing to take my newly purchased Stand Up Joe to her father to autograph. She was more than happy to oblige and told me she went home on weekends to do her laundry. So I brought my Stand Up Joe to her dorm room in South Halls, and she returned it to me a few days later. The real Joe placed his signature right on the football.
Katy Eichelberger Gallagher '85
Camp Hill, Pa.
When "Joe" was stored off our basement rec room, we placed him in the shower, which has frosted glass. While we were away once, the security system went off, summoning the police. As they were checking the house for intruders, one officer came into the basement bathroom. Seeing a figure behind the shower door, he drew his pistol and ordered the person to step out. Fortunately for "Joe," the officer did not shoot but he later told us it scared the daylights out of him.
Jeanne Myers Krimmel '59
Gary Krimmel '59
Buffalo, Minn.
My husband and I met at Penn State in 1993 so it seemed only natural to bring our Stand Up Joe to our wedding reception. We put him in the trunk of the limo and with all the craziness forgot to bring him out at the reception. The next day (on our honeymoon at Disney), we realized we had forgotten JoePa. I immediately called my father and told him we needed Joe back. He called the limo company and said, "My daughter left Joe Paterno in the trunk of the limo!" The woman on the phone said, "Excuse me
you left who in the trunk?" Later, my uncle ran into Joe Paterno (the real one) at the Pittsburgh airport and told him our wedding story. Joe said, "What are they crazy
bringing me to their wedding?" He is so humble and beloved by us all.
Lisa Specht Ackerman '93
Greenlawn, N.Y.
Urban Legend?
My best friend told me this one when he was in grad school at the University of Maryland in the early 1980s. During a College Park practice session in the week before an impending Penn State game, someone put up a Stand Up Joe on the sideline. Prior to Joe's arrival, it had been a normal practice. But with Joe in attendance, many of the Terrapin players appeared to be distracted and were dropping passes, jumping offside's and generally fumbling and bumbling. The coaches had seen enough and had Joe removed from practice. Needless to say, Penn State went on to win the game that Saturday.
James Gray '77
Springfield, Va.
My husband, Bill Hartleb, is an ever-faithful '76 graduate has enjoyed many Penn State football trips since moving to San Diego. In 1992, we went to Utah to see the Penn State versus BYU game. Bill was overjoyed when he discovered the Penn State football team was staying at our hotel. We spied Joe at the reception desk and he graciously agreed to pose for a picture with Bill. Naturally, Bill sent copies to his family in Erie, Pa., where his mother proudly displayed it on top of the cash register in the family's store. Many people commented on it but the funniest observation was, "Is that a photo of your son with a Cut-out Joe?" I guess Joe takes very consistent pictures!
Elaine Hartleb
Encinitas, Calif.
We bought a Stand Up Joe when they first came out, ages ago. But after awhile in our tiny condo, Joe ended up relegated to the storage area in the bowels of the building where, I'm afraid to say, he was promptly forgotten. I went down to retrieve something one night in the dimly-lit basement, and Joe stood there scaring the crap out of me, as I thought we had an intruder trapped in our chicken wired storage cage! I sure felt stupid once I realized it was only JoePa.

April 2013
Stitchin' Times
Publication of the Cactus Needles Knitting Guild
May 2013
Letter from the Editor
In April, I stepped in for Martie to host the program. I decided to keep it light-hearted and we did a Spring Cleaning theme. Everyone brought in their gently-used crafting treasures to exchange for with fellow knitters.
As we go into the next fiscal year, we have yet to have anyone accept the position of Vice President. The VP is also the program designer. In the interim, a few of us will be coordinating programs for the 2013-2014 fiscal year.
We need your help. What kind of programs would you like to see? What would you like to learn?
Is there something that you would like to share? We have a lot of talented people in this group and would love for you to spend a half an hour sharing a technique that can help us hone our craft.
Please send any ideas to: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Thanks so much to everyone for your support. Without it, there would be no CNKG!!

Local Learning
By: Regina Esposito
On April 13, 2013, Southwest Trading Company hosted a workshop, Cast Ons for Shawl Knitters. by Melissa Deutsch Scott.
We learned three (3) cast Ons that will get our shawls off to the right start. There were two cast ons to learn for a circular shawl, Emily Ocker's crochet loop method & Belly Button, temporarily open center method.
The third was a top-down cast on. This one is a provisional cast on BUT with a NEW (for me) idea making this cast on much easier to do.
I highly recommend attending any workshop given by Melissa. She' a world class facilitator. I had trouble with Emily Ocker's method & she practically held my hand (crochet hook & all) through the process.
I urge you to visit soysilk.com to sign up for newsletters. Melissa may be back before we know it. I hope she'll do workshop for shawl bind- offs.
To the uniformed, knitting is a hobby for those of us of a certain age with nothing better to do. We know better! Knitting enhances everything we do and is not just for bored grandmothers.

Stitch n Pitch 2013
The Cactus Needles Knitting Guild had more fun than the Diamondbacks on Saturday April 13th --Stitch -n- Pitch evening at Chase Field. While the D'backs lost to the LA Dodgers, the Guild had an opportunity to gain exposure, reach out to potential members and strengthen our ties to Project Linus.
Francine, Harriet and Jo-Ann shared responsibilities for the CNKG table on the upper concourse where Stich -n- and Pitch tables were located. Of the six tables there, three represented Project Linus, one was for an individual displaying her wares and attempting to increase Facebook likes, one was from Downtown Phoenix and we were the other. Downtown Phoenix's thrust was signing up members for a downtown yarn bombing to be scheduled for October.
Other Cactus Needles Knitting Guild members were present. Just look for Stitch-n-Pitch totebags at the next Guild meeting and see who was there.
The Pragmatic Knitter: Online Yarn Shopping
by Georgia K. Green
This month we address a very pragmatic topic indeed: Shopping for and purchasing yarn online. More and more of us, and more and more of our purchases, are online today and are projected to continue …
This is emphatically not an endorsement of online purchases over supporting your local yarn store and should not be taken as such. It is rather a recognition of the reality that e-commerce coexists in the yarn marketplace today with more traditional bricks-and-mortar shops. In fact, this coexistence is more closely intertwined than many of us are aware; for example, the successful Reno, NV, "local" yarn store Jimmy Beans Wool reports that just 15% of its sales occur in the shop, while 85% come via the online web site.
To permit a reasonable comparison across a variety of web sites, we will shop for a popular yarn in a quantity required by a pattern that many knitters have on their needles now:
· Our yarn is Cascade 220 (from which more than 100,000 projects have been made and posted to Ravelry.com).
· Our project (in which we will join over 12,000 other knitters) is the February Lady Sweater by Pamela Wynne in Size 44, which requires 1,150 yards for completion, or six (6) skeins.
The web sites we will visit are:
· Jimmy Beans Wool
· Knit Picks
· Loopy Ewe
· Yarn Market

You answered your own question. Natural physics makes the forehand the more dangerous and powerful stroke, as well as the harder to develop. A player with a great forehand is always dangerous even if the backhand is shit; if your backhand is great but your forehand is shit, you'll never be enough of a threat to make it as a pro player...

Project Snapshot
Time frame: February 2007 to July 2008
Summary: Through the Energy Investment project, IISD undertook an assessment of international investment regimes to determine where the barriers and opportunities lie for ensuring that investments in energy infrastructure make a strong contribution to sustainable development.
Main outputs:
Clean Energy Investment: Project Synthesis Report
Clean Energy Investment: Policymakers' Summary
Clean Energy Investment in the Former Soviet Union (Ukraine and Kazakhstan): The Domestic Context (PDF - 1 MB)
Clean Energy Investment in Nigeria: The Domestic Context (PDF - 1.7 MB)
Funders: Netherlands Ministry for Social Building, Regional Planning, and Environment Administration; Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs
In 2007 the International Energy Agency projected that more than US$22 trillion would need to be invested in energy supply infrastructure between 2005 and 2030, more than half of it in developing countries. The nature of these investments is expected to play a critical role not only in the development paths of those countries but also in shaping the world's energy and greenhouse gas emission profiles. Therefore on both environmental and development grounds there is a pressing need to encourage investments in clean energy infrastructure—investments that lead to more energy generation while reducing the carbon footprint of energy—at levels that dwarf the status quo.
Addressing climate change, of course, will take more than this. The world must pursue conservation and energy efficiency, particularly in developed countries, and the patterns of consumption that drive global energy demand must change. We will also need new technologies. IISD's Energy Investment study focused on only one aspect of what must be a larger solution, which is also the area of clearest synergy for environment and development: the massive flows of investment needed in clean energy infrastructure.
IISD's Energy Investment project pursued this issue along two related tracks: international and domestic. At the international level the project focused on understanding how international investment agreements might foster or frustrate clean energy investments. In the first phase of the work, IISD examined the standard elements of investment treaties, using the Energy Charter Treaty and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Energy Protocol as in-depth case studies.
The second phase of work undertook national-level analyses that probed host-country institutions related to energy infrastructure, including legal and regulatory regimes. The barriers found here comprised a familiar list of general investment-climate issues, supplemented by issues of particular concern for clean energy investment—regulatory and fiscal treatment primary among them. Two countries in the former Soviet Union (the Ukraine and Kazakhstan) (PDF - 1 MB) and Nigeria (PDF - 1.7 MB) served as country case studies to inform this work.
The report Clean Energy Investment contains a synthesis of the project's research findings at the international and national levels. Written by Aaron Cosbey, Jennifer Ellis, Mahnaz Malik and Howard Mann, the report synthesizes lessons learned regarding the barriers and opportunities for clean energy investment in developing countries. It focuses first on the domestic side, looking at those elements of the domestic regulatory and policy framework that might encourage or discourage both foreign and domestic investment. It then looks at the web of international investment laws embodied in bilateral, regional and multilateral treaties, asking how they might impede or foster clean energy investment.
Finally, the project has published a Clean Energy Investment Policymakers' Summary.

University of Virginia students and the people who live around them tried to compromise to turn down the volume on noisy parties in the surrounding neighborhoods.
This past August, residents of the Venable Neighborhood went in front of city council to complain about the noise level coming from UVA students in their area.
That issue was back on Charlottesville city council's agenda Monday night, where UVA students and residents near UVA spoke out about what they think should be done to come to an agreement.
It was clear at the meeting that over the past few months, steps had been taken by students to help fix the problem.
"We've redone our party patrol process, we've updated our trash pick-up, no parties are outside now, all are inside," said Andy Coleberg.
Proposed changes to the ordinance would mean violators would have to pay $1,000 for the first noise offense—instead of the current fine of $250—and could face jail time.
UVA students say harsher punishments aren't the answer.
"We recognize that there is a problem here, but we also recognize that community relations and building community relations is the way out of this problem, not by putting on additional violations to potentially send somebody to prison for just noise," Coleberg said.
The Charlottesville Police Department also spoke out about making sure they are doing their part to please both sides.
