With the 35-32 defeat to Louisville Doss in the opening round of the playoffs earlier this month, the Spencer County Bears finished short of their goal but with a winning record for the third consecutive season.
Coach Mike Marksbury finished his fourth season at the helm and has compiled a 24-22 record after inheriting a squad that went 0-11 in 2010. He's built a program that's competitive with anyone on their schedule, but he's not content with being average.

I'm just curious as to if ham is considered a lean meat. Is it bad to have a decent amount of it, or is it bad for you like bologna? I rarely have it, I'm just wondering if it's actually good to have as a source of protein.

Having puppies is a great deal of fun, but it is also a great deal of work! This is especially true if you have a puppy, or puppies, that needs to be bottlefed. This can happen for a number of reasons. The mother can pass away during the birth process. She can have little or no milk come in for the puppies to be fed on. There can simply be too many puppies for her to feed. Or, as occurred in my own experience with bottlefeeding, there can be a runt in the litter which the mother rejects and/or the other puppies tend to treat poorly making it difficult or impossible for the little one to get to the nipple at feeding time.
There will come a time when your bottlefed puppy, or puppies, are ready to be weaned and get on solid food. This should be done well in advance to finding a new home for the puppy, so that you can ensure that the weaning is successful and done in an environment that is comfortable for the puppy. Weaning a puppy in a new home can be more challenging than it has to be for both the owner and the puppy, as the puppy is already rather stressed from the move.
Weaning a bottlefed puppy is not that difficult, as long as you know how to do it the right way. Although a nursing female dog is capable of producing milk for her puppies for a few months, most people do not want to bottlefeed for that long. It takes a lot of your time and puppy formula also gets very expensive. You should begin the weaning process when your puppy is about is between three and four weeks of age. This will allow plenty of time to get the puppy used to eating on his or her own before he or she is placed in a permanent home.
To begin weaning, prepare the puppy's formula as you usually would, but instead of putting it into the bottle, put it in a small dish that the puppy can eat from. This will get the puppy accustomed to eating without the bottle and without being held. After doing that several times, add some canned puppy food to the a small amount of the milk. Do this for about one week, allowing the puppy's gastrointestinal tract to get used to the food. Next, begin mixing in a small amount of the same brand of dry puppy food as the canned food that you are currently using. Once the puppy has gotten used to this and has teeth, enabling him or her to chew the dry puppy food, completely remove the canned food and your puppy is weaned successfully!

I can help with ACT reading, writing, and the English grammar sections of this test. We utilize a student's accumulative background knowledge as a baseline to build comprehension of classic literature, world events, and critical thinking. The development of inference, finding the main point, navigating figurative language, and logical reasoning along with test taking skills, higher-level vocabulary acquisition, and structural writing are also addressed to increase scoring and college readiness. Our first meeting is free. During this meet and greet session, we assess skills to develop a plan that fits the needs of an individual student. We also discuss goals, previous learning, time limitations, and an ACT reading, writing, and English program that also requires independent work between our formal sessions. I tutor test preparation as an ongoing process, which is dependent on the time left before the test and student commitment, rather than a quick fix for a higher score.
I have tutored individual students in this area, as well as 2 to 4 student groups, which lowers the per student rate.
The reading section of the ACT test measures reading comprehension that determines if a student is prepared for academic reading as a college freshman. The text passages offer differences between what is stated and what is suggested, which mandates inference and logic as the two skills necessary for this portion of the ACT. A student is given 35 minutes to complete 40 multiple-choice questions regarding four reading passages within Social Studies, Natural Sciences, Prose, and Humanities. As a junior or senior in high school, the structure of this test does not sound very difficult, but it can be very confusing because the questions require a higher level of critical thinking. Another difficulty lies within the broad subject base of these passages. For example, the Natural Science passage may be in Anatomy, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Zoology etc. A student must utilize their accumulated knowledge and critical thinking skills within each reading passage to answer these multiple-choice questions. Test taking skills, as well as vocabulary acquisition are also integral components that need development for the ACT.
As your ACT reading tutor, I will focus on the development of these analytical skills to enhance reading comprehension. We will utilize real passages from each of the four subject bases as our venue for learning. We will also review vocabulary in context and test taking strategies that provide the best results for individual learners.
I have worked with individual students, as well as 2 to 4 student groups, which lowers the per student rate.
Many people think that art is an innate talent. Contrary to this line of thought is my belief that although some people are born with intrinsic artistic talent, drawing is a skill that can be learned and refined through authentic application. As a child, I loved to draw. My first attempt at college was as an art major. I took drawing, illustration, cartooning, and ink classes that helped me refine my skills and market myself as a black and white portrait artist. This marketable skill has served me well throughout my lifetime through the sales of portraits drawn from photographs. My recent artistic endeavor comes within the form of graphic novels from literature for my reading and ESL students. In the past, I have worked with a group of adolescents on a summer project that culminated with an exhibit of their work at our local public library and have offered portrait-drawing classes at my park district. I was not born with artistic talent, but was taught by some remarkably talented professors.
My specialty is working with graphite pencils and tortillions to create people portraits. I was taught quite a few tricks of the trade in school that have helped me take the frustration out of drawing early on in projects. I feel the joy in drawing is when the functional elements of a portrait or illustration are complete, such as size, proportions, placement, and authenticity. That is when the fun begins. These functional elements can be learned and with a little practice, they become a significant factor towards an artist's repertoire of skills.
As your tutor, I will teach you these procedures, as well as help you hone your individual talents as an artist.
I have a Bachelor's degree in English Language Learner studies and have been tutoring ESL to adolescents and adult learners for 5 years. Although learning for each student is different, I feel that ESL depends on Sheltered Content instruction, which focuses on visual, oral, and kinesthetic (active) scaffolding. I also utilize a student's native language for comprehension through language translating software to increase overall comprehension. I base instruction on scientific research and focus on the interests/needs of my students by preparing lessons that address goals set by individual learners. Some of these goals incorporate function and the authentic language needed within the structures of American culture. Alternate goals address the academic language needed for success in school. My experience and training in this area, along with my love of culture, have given me the teaching skills necessary for student success.
I have also developed a special program for English learners that give students the foundation they need for achievement in English as an additional language. This program focuses on phonemic awareness, decoding, pronunciation, reading fluency, and comprehension. I utilize the foundation presented within the Action Reading Program, with modifications for English learners. I feel that phonemic awareness and the physiology of speech are two baseline pivotal aspects of language acquisition.
Our first session is free. During this meet and greet hour, we will assess English reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills, talk about goals for learning, and distinguish if we are a good match as tutor and learner. Language acquisition is a very personal endeavor. Language risks are necessary for solid achievement, so I feel that building an environment of well-being and trust maintains consistent accomplishment. This first meeting will also help me write a plan for individual learners. Each learner maintains different strengths and needs, therefore, I offer this no cost session to begin our learning partnership towards stronger English language skills.
I have tutored individual learners within specific content and test preparation areas, as well as 2 to 4 student groups, which lowers the per student rate.
Grammar is one of the most difficult aspects of English. In school, students are required to understand grammatical forms and structures conducive to reading and writing academically. Often this type of learning is flooded with drills and rote memorization. Students have been taught these skills early in their academic careers, but knowing the rules of English grammar and utilizing them in context can be very confusing for many learners. For example, I took cooking in high school and with the instructor's help, I did very well following a recipe and understanding ingredients, measurements, and timing. When I began cooking for myself, some of those early recipes did not turn out exactly as planned. As students enter high school and college, they are expected to write many academic papers. Taking the grammatical knowledge they learned in school and applying it to context can become a very difficult task.
Students need to connect grammatical form, meaning, and application naturally. One of the best ways to accomplish this skill is to utilize authenticity. We will use content that is pertinent to a student's assignments in school or within student interest to strengthen English grammar. We will practice with real conversations and address grammar within reading, writing, and review that utilize English for authentic purposes.
We will also build a grammar notebook that students can utilize for future assignments.
We are never too old to learn phonics! Phonological awareness makes strong readers. I teach a curriculum that gives students the basic skills needed for a good reading foundation. This curriculum includes phonemic awareness, which is the study of all the sounds of the English language, combined with decoding, reading fluency, and comprehension. I am a firm believer that phonics instruction combined with a whole language approach gives students a great foundation in reading. I can incorporate reading materials that students are working on in school or books that interest the student. I have seen results in as little as three to six months. Students begin to discuss stories and cultivate their interests in books. Phonological awareness takes the stress out of reading and allows students to focus on academic content and critical thinking.
One of the biggest obstacles toward academic success is reading. If reading skills remain challenged, all educational activities suffer. Unfortunately, by the time students realize that the problem is reading they have slipped much farther behind their peers. A good reading program addresses phonics, phonemic awareness, comprehension, reading fluency, and high frequency words. These are the skills possessed by good readers. When students lack the very basic skills needed for reading comprehension, reading becomes an unpleasant task.
I have been tutoring a program for the past 5 years that helps struggling readers catch up to their classmates. I have seen students improve their reading skills within six months of weekly tutoring. The return on investment advances spelling, reading fluency, and comprehension. Half the battle is the phonemic awareness necessary to comprehend words that improve reading fluency, which lowers anxiety for struggling readers.
The curriculum I utilize is the Action Reading Program. It teaches students comprehension, spelling, decoding, reading fluency, and the phonemic awareness necessary for great readers. I have seen the rapid results of this program first-hand. I adapt instruction to the learning needs of each student; therefore, learning is dependent upon student attendance and the motivation to learn. I meet most of my students once a week for two-hour tutoring sessions. At this rate of instruction, the Action Reading Program should be completed in approximately six months and then we move on to reading and writing within interest based content.
The TOEFL IBT is a measure of academic English proficiency. Most colleges require this test for undergraduate and graduate admissions. This test may also be necessary for employment in professional fields. A higher test score equates to advanced opportunities for English language learners. Many universities require a minimum score in individual areas for admission. Understanding these requirements and the structure of the test are the first steps toward achievement.
The test is divided into four sections, which are reading, writing, listening, and speaking in English. We divide the test into each domain and focus on areas that require improvement. This familiarizes students with the structure of the test and shows us which areas need more attention. We learn and practice with academic materials and structures within the TOEFL. I also teach test-taking strategies appropriate for the TOEFL and supply materials for a student to utilize during and in between our tutoring sessions. Although we separate each section within each domain, I design lessons that integrate these skills throughout the test to provide students with opportunities to strengthen their English proficiency within all areas of the TOEFL. We utilize videos for listening, phonemic awareness and outlines for the speaking section, TOEFL reading passages, vocabulary acquisition, and also focus on English grammar through writing.
I have tutored individual learners and two to four student groups, which lowers the per student hourly rate.

If i removed myself from the card as an AU, my utilization is at 10%. So my utilization decrease but my total credit line decrease by 7000. So what do you think i should do? Thanx
Your brother has a maxed out (or almost maxed out) card
that has only been open for a short while.
I think you should get removed from that card ASP.
What are the ages of your own tradelines?
You are much better off WITHOUT the AU account if he has the card maxed. The AU will only help if it has clean history, low utilization and is aged.
The fact that the AU account is ONLY 1 year old is hurting your score. Then the fact that the card is maxed is hurting your score. The fact that it has a balance (depending on number of accounts you have) is hurting your score. The fact that your utilization is raised 79% is hurting your score.
If your own accounts are as old or older than the AU, there is no need to have it. Remove yourself and get it off your credit.
AU usually is only a good idea to help establish your credit if the AU account is a clean, older, low or no balance account.

age? you mean how long i've had credit? i think the oldest one is 2003..
Your oldest account is 4 or 5 years older than the AU card. Even if the AU card had a zero balance it wouldn't be helping you much. It is lowering (not raising) your average age.
Lowering utilization and increasing age or average age are generally the two main reasons AU tradelines can be beneficial. You are not being helped in either case. The other main reason that an AU may benefit is if a consumer has no other tradelines at all. Since you have other tradelines, you don't need the AU for that reason either.
Definitely get removed as AU from the card and dispute the tradeline off your credit report. Your score will benefit quite a bit .

China is currently the world leader in investment in and development of new nuclear power facilities.
Nuclear vs. IGCC
Next-gen technologies race to dominate the big build.
The difference on a $3 [billion] or $4 billion loan translates into $20/MWh in production costs. It's a big number."
Weighing Costs
On a pure economic basis, both nuclear and IGCC plants are difficult to justify. No company today is developing either type of plant without significant public-policy support. Sponsors of nuclear projects are counting on federal lawmakers to deliver incentives promised by the Energy Policy Act, and IGCC projects rely on a portfolio of federal, state, and even local incentives ( see sidebar "Funding IGCC" ).
"Where utility commissions are looking hard at gasification, they are looking a little beyond the initial cost of electricity," Amick says. "They are looking at the cost of carbon capture in later years, and trying to put together a path that considers the environmental good of the investment as well as the cost of electricity."
The same could be said of nuclear plants, but none have gone far enough in the development process to become part of a rate case. Some IGCC proposals have come before state utility commissions, and a few are getting a warm reception on Wall Street. "IGCC had a good three- or four-year head start on nuclear," says Caren Byrd, executive director with Morgan Stanely. While no IGCC projects have yet been financed, several are assembling a strong package of incentives and rate support.
"For IGCC projects to get built, everyone has to feel a stake in the solution," Spitzley says. "The vendors must provide some degree of wrap, and the off-taker must bear some early-stage scheduling and performance risk."
In this respect, IGCC has come a long way in the last couple of years, with multiple equipment vendors—Siemens, Mitsubishi, and GE Energy—offering standardized plant designs, equipment warranties, and operational support.
"We created our relationship with Bechtel and developed a standard 60-Hz IGCC product so we could get as comfortable with the technology as possible," Suciu says. "That allowed us to guarantee the performance, the schedule and as much of the cost as possible."
The costs of IGCC+CCS versus new nuclear plants, however, are somewhat difficult to compare, because of major uncertainties about nuclear licensing, permitting, construction, waste-management, and capital costs. Uncertainties about IGCC+CCS are significant, but they relate mostly to operating costs. Performance data for commercial-scale IGCC plants are relatively scanty, and no one knows for sure what long-term carbon sequestering will cost. Capital costs, on the other hand, are relatively well understood for IGCC and carbon-capture technology.
"IGCC projects are at the whim of commodity pricing, but it's the normal world of construction risks," Amick says. "It's not like the nuclear world, where everything you do might have to be redone to satisfy changes in law at very detailed levels."
Indeed, actual costs for nuclear power plants have proved to be notoriously unpredictable. But as sponsors of all types of construction projects have learned, prices for labor, materials and equipment have skyrocketed in recent years and likely will continue rising in the coming decade ( see sidebar "Return to Cost-Plus" ). In short, all cost estimates for either nuclear

Talk about finding a good used car. Frank Orsenick bought his '91 Silverado in 1996. At the time, it had 41,000 miles on the clock. After 11 years of service (and a lot of driving), the old pickup is about to reach a milestone. Frank had the oil changed last week, just as he has every 3,000 miles since acquiring the Chevy, and it's sure to be the last one it receives as an everyday-use vehicle. You see, it's just 1,200 miles away from spinning past the 1,000,000-mark on the odometer. When it hits the big number, Frank is going to put his faithful ride into retirement. As for how he got this far, Orsenik credits regular maintenance and "a little luck." We should all be so lucky.
When informed of Mr. Orsenik's impending milestone, Chvrolet General Manager Ed Peper said, "Most Dependable, Longest Lasting isn't just a slogan, and it applies not only to Chevy pickups but to the people who drive them. We get lots of mail from customers with hundreds of thousands of miles on their Chevy trucks - so much, in fact, we formed the Silverado 200,000 mile club in 2006 - but a million miles is certainly remarkable. We're glad to have Mr. Oresnik on the Chevy team."
Congrats to Mr. Orsenik. May your next truck be as dependable as this one.

Great Buy
Lee from Chicago, IL– Verified Buyer
Great barstool, somewhat easy to assemble. Would have given it a five start rating, but was a bit disappointed that the back of the stool is 2" shorter than what was stated on the dimensions. Still looks great and swivels easily.
Happy with my purchase

When Windows Mobile first hit the scene almost a full decade ago (in the year 2000), it was revolutionary. No one had seen anything like it before. Sure, there had been the Palm OS, and maybe the hint of what is now Symbian, but the idea of having a full fledged computer (not just a PIM) in the palm of your hand was pretty much the stuff of science fiction. Well, here it is, a decade later, Windows Mobile is now in its sixth generation (the aptly named Windows Mobile 6) and while it is still the most powerful mobile operating system, it is hardly alone. Today, it shares the playing field with Blackberry, the remnants of the Palm OS, Symbian, the iPhone, and soon phones running Google's new mobile platform, otherwise known as Android. What does this all mean for Windows Mobile? Well, the first thing it means is that other operating systems will be breathing down Microsoft's neck pushing it to move faster and smarter…or just pushing it out of the way. We have already seen this with the iPhone and its far superior web browser and user interface. Windows Mobile is starting to show its age. It is like an athlete who needs to spend more time in the gym than ever just to keep up with the younger, faster, smarter players. But all is not lost. This article will look at nine things Windows Mobile can do to regain its top spot in the mobile operating system arena…all of which can (and should) be done before the next implementation of Windows Mobile is even released, and certainly before a new iPhone, Nokia-Symbian phone, or Android pushes it further down the pecking order..
A Better Internet Experience. When Windows Mobile first hit the scene in 2000, we were all shocked and amazed by Pocket Internet Explorer. This was the Internet in the Palm of your hand. Unfortunately, once the initial amazement and euphoria wore off, we were left with an underpowered web browser. For many of us, it did not matter a lot at the time because the Pocket PC was not designed to connect to the Internet back then.
As time moved on, however, and Pocket PC's began incorporating Wi-fi and ultimately became converged with phones bearing broadband-like connection speeds, the Internet began to take on a much more central role in how we used our mobile devices. And, of course, one would assume, that Pocket Internet Explorer evolved to meet this need. One would be wrong. In fact, this is among the biggest failings of Windows Mobile today. It still relies on virtually the exact same underpowered web browser that was found in the original, unconnected Pocket PC's nearly a decade ago.
While this has been a source of growing consternation among Windows Mobile users, it was mostly just assumed that mobile devices were simply too limited for the Internet. That all changed this past summer, however, when the iPhone was unveiled with its full Safari browser. If the iPhone did anything, it showed Windows Mobile users what had been missing all along from their mobile Internet experience. As an example, take a look at this screenshot of the iPhone's safari browser:
This first shot is simply the Yahoo homepage as it is seen on an iPhone…
…and here it is as it is seen on Windows Mobile Pocket Internet Explorer. It is just a cluttered mess, which can barely be seen.
Even if we scroll down a little bit, it is just impossible to read the page.
Microsoft has always been known for their innovation, and it is just shocking to me that in nearly 10 years, they have not come up with a better web browsing solution than Pocket Internet Explorer, especially in light of Apple's first crack at the iPhone, which plainly revealed Pocket Internet Explorer as the aging relic which it has become. If Microsoft truly expects Windows Mobile to remain at the top of the market, it MUST offer a full web browser, or full version of Internet Explorer 7 with the Windows Mobile operating system.
More Usable Today Screen/Desktop: For as long as the desktop version of Windows has served as our primary operating system (particularly since Windows 95), the desktop has been the place where we display shortcuts to our important applications, folders, and documents. This is how the Today Screen on a Windows Mobile device should operate. Instead, however, in almost direct contradiction to its desktop counterparts, the Today Screen has been largely ignored by Microsoft as a valuable resource for interacting with your device. Here is a shot of the Sprint Mogul today screen as it appeared when I initially activated my phone.
As you can see, far from serving as a useful means of navigating the applications on my device, the Today Screen appears cluttered and provides access to little useful information. In fact, much of the information on the Today Screen is little more than an ad for Microsoft and Sprint, even adopting Sprint's glaring yellow color scheme.
Not to keep harping on this point, but now look at the iPhone today screen. It is neatly organized, and allows you to access every critical function of the device with a single fingertap.
More recently, some device manufacturers have clued in to the power the today screen really offers. HTC, for example, now offers its own Today Screen with the HTC Touch and TyTN II devices, which allows some access to various applications and utilities.
There are also many third party applications which will take over your today screen and turn it into the powerful tool it was intended to be. Among these are SBSH iLauncher, Spb Mobile Shell, Spb Pocket Plus, and LakeRidge Software Wisbar Desktop and Wisbar Advanced (to name only a few). As I am about to discuss, however, it should not take third party applications to make Windows Mobile perform as it was intended to perform.
Better built in applications – Since I have already touched briefly upon this subject, let's discuss the built in applications and third party software in more detail. As I see it, third party software can be divided into two general categories: those which improve upon existing applications, and those which add new features or applications. If Windows Mobile is to remain successful, the first category should be completely eliminated. This means (and I apologize to the developers) no more need for programs like Pocket Informant, Agenda Fusion/Agenda One, SoftMaker Office, Resco File Explorer (shown at left), CorePlayer, or Pocket Player (to name a few). Presumably, Windows Mobile should be able to handle all of these functions for you.
Of course, I am not saying that there is anything wrong with these programs. Many of them are superb. Windows Mobile, however, claims to include Pocket Outlook with access to your calendar, tasks, contacts, and more. It claims to include a file explorer, and a media player. Heck, it even includes a scaled down version of Microsoft Office. All of these applications, however, range from barely functional to just plain junk (and this does not even mention the useless third party "bloatware" which festers on many devices). Heck, many developers use the tag line, "Make your Windows Mobile device operate the way it was intended," or something similar.
It should never take a third party application to make your device operate the way it was intended. Most users are not aware that many of these applications are even available. They purchase a Windows Mobile device to perform particular functions: check email, sync their calendar, organize their contacts, listen to music. If the device cannot adequately perform these functions out of the box, then it is likely going to end up in a dusty bin of useless gadgets that many of us keep in the basement, no matter how many third party applications are available to fix it.
If Microsoft is unable or unwilling to develop functional versions of these applications, then they should contract with third party developers to include them as part of the operating system. I would be thrilled if I bought a device and found Resco File Explorer preloaded instead of the bare bones Microsoft File Explorer. Or how about finding Pocket Informant or Agenda Fusion in place of Pocket Outlook.
FINGERS! FINGERS! FINGERS! When I was discussing this article with the team here at JAMM, it was inevitable that the included stylus would come up. Since the early days of Palm devices, the stylus has been a thin, small piece of metal or plastic used to interact with the touch screen on your device. These are typically so skinny they cause hand cramps, and so small they are easily lost. In fact, the only advantage they serve is that they can usually be easily tucked into a slot on the side or back of the device. As Lauren stated during one of our team meetings, "styli are a necessary evil, but why do they need to be?"
I started thinking about this comment, and Lauren is absolutely correct. For years, the stylus has been viewed as a necessary evil. Nobody really likes to use one, but it is the price you have to pay for using the technology. What Microsoft still does not seem to have figured out, however, is that pretty much every user has ten styli built right into their hands. Yup, I am talking about fingers.
Developers are now starting to get around to making software which is designed to be used without a stylus, or finger friendly software. The best example of this is the fantastic iwindowsmobile line of programs released by Vito Technology. For the most part, however, both the operating system, and most of the programs designed for it still require a stylus. This was understandable in the early days when the touch screen was still new and not well developed. This is no longer the case. The touch screen has evolved to a point where the stylus is no longer necessary, which makes it simply evil. Both Microsoft and third party developers should make the elimination of the stylus Windows Mobile a significant priority in 2008.
Bluetooth — This section was almost titled, "Dude, Who Stole My Bluetooth?" Time was that Windows Mobile devices utilized the excellent WidComm stack of Bluetooth drivers. My Dell Axim with Windows Mobile 2003SE never had any Bluetooth problems. Then, along came Windows Mobile 5, and Microsoft's decision to do it themselves. For the first time we saw the underwhelming Microsoft Bluetooth stack, and boy what a difference. Dropped connections, poor Bluetooth radio reception, and more marred the new stack of drivers. In fact, one team of developers even attempted to replace the Windows Mobile 5 Microsoft Bluetooth stack with the WidComm stack from Windows Mobile 2003SE.
Ever since Microsoft replaced the Widcomm Bluetooth stack with their own, the Bluetooth capabilities of Windows Mobile have continued to underwhelm most users. Many devices lack A2DP (stereo music) and AVRCP (audio remote control) support, and limit Bluetooth functionality to a small circle of accessories, most of which are Bluetooth headsets and keyboards. And don't even get me started on the difficulties connecting a Bluetooth GPS. There is simply no excuse for a Bluetooth stack which cannot make a connection and keep it without interference. Likewise, now that stereo audio has become so integral to many users, A2DP and AVRCP simply must be included natively. Again, if Microsoft cannot (or will not) develop a Bluetooth stack that can function adequately, then it should return to the WidComm Bluetooth stack.
Making A Phone Call Should Not Be This Hard: There is an old joke about a man who gets a new watch. He goes on and on bragging about all of the things it can do until someone finally asks what time it is. "I don't know. This thing doesn't tell time," is the famous reply. That is how I feel about the phones on Windows Mobile devices.
As the Pocket PC and phones have become more and more inseparable (the actual term is converged), the dialer on these devices has gone from a sideshow to the main event. It is imperative that you can quickly and easily dial, reach someone from your contacts, and answer the phone. None of these are particularly easy with a lot of Windows Mobile devices (it is hard to make generalizations here since they are all different). Of course, many people rely on voice commands which seems like a cop-out for Windows Mobile, and can be a bit (to say the least) inconsistant. This does not change the fact that the dialer screen on many devices, such as the Sprint Mogul are simply unusable. Go ahead, try to dial on the dialpad above without using a stylus. It simply cannot be done.
Let's be honest, when you need to make a call, you do not want to whip out your stylus and scroll through the tiny text in your contacts or tap out the numbers on a too small dialer pad. You want to reach the contact and you want to reach them now.
In fairness, this is an area which has seen vast improvement in some of the newer devices. The HTC Touch (shown above), for example, offer a fantastic dialer pad, which is a vast improvement from the Sprint Mogul (shown at the top of this section).
The other problem with dialing by contact is the complete lack of intuitive controls. Ideally, you should be able to tap a contact and automatically dial them. Quick and easy. Too often, however, tapping the contact opens the information screen or, worse, an editing page. For me, the best option is photo contacts. Regardless of how you accomplish this, however, there absolutely cannot be more than two taps between your Today Screen and a phone call; and you should not need a third party application to get there.
Close Button: Second only to Pocket Internet Explorer, the lack of a true close button is probably the largest source of consternation among Windows Mobile users. It is one of the most counter-intuitive features of the operating system.
Let's face it. Most Windows Mobile users are also Windows users. In Windows, the "X" in the corner has meant close the application for over twenty years, ever since Windows 3.0 was introduced (and maybe longer). This is among the most ingrained controls on my desktop. So, of course, when we see an "X" in the upper right corner of the screen in Windows Mobile, we expect it to behave the same way. Close the application. Right? Wrong.
I must have heard this story a million times, and I still do not understand it. It all relates to memory management, and here is the "official explanation from the Windows Mobile Team Blog:
One thing we did has been pretty contentious. Along the way, we got feedback that users didn't mind letting us manage the memory for them, but they really wanted a way to say, "I'm done with this. Make it go away." So we put a "go away" button in the upper right corner of PocketPCs. This button just sends the application to the background. It doesn't close it. If the system needs more memory while the app is in the background, it'll close the app. But, if the system doesn't need more memory, the app will stay in RAM and be ready to come back quickly the next time the user needs it.
Now, in a move that some people consider brilliant and others consider unforgivably stupid, we made the "go away" look like an "X". Brilliant because anyone who has ever used Desktop Windows will know that an "X" button in the upper right corner of the window will make the window go away. Unforgivably stupid because every one of those same people will assume an "X" button in the upper right corner of the window will make the app close. Whether you think the move is brilliant or stupid is pretty heavily tied to how much you believe that users shouldn't have to manage their own memory.
I have to admit that I fall into the camp which considers this to be an unforgivably stupid move. This has never made an iota of sense to me or anyone else who uses Windows Mobile. So, "X" means close, but only partly, just in case I need you again later.
I have written about the fantastic InClose Mobile program, which brings a whole new level of functionality to the "X" button. Pocket Plus also features a true close button feature, and there are dozens of other programs and freeware that offer this feature. The abundance of programs addressing this seemingly small point should send a clear signal to Microsoft that, regardless of the logic behind the decision, the "X" Button does not do the job we asked it to do, and there is no good reason for this failure.
ActiveSync: Have you ever wondered why most users refer to ActiveSync and Active Stink? Anyone who has tried to really sync their device with a Windows computer knows that this feature simply does not work well. Often, it takes numerous attempts to get Activesync (or Windows Mobile Device Center) to recognize an initial pairing with your device. Even once it has been paired, it may sporadically not connect, drop the connection, or just lose the connection for no apparent reason. And this does not even address the fact that it is slow and unreliable.
Windows Mobile Device Center (shown above), which is the Vista version of ActiveSync was supposed to fix all of this. It did not. Unless you are a Windows Mobile 6 user, it is worse than ever at recognizing your device. And I cannot tell you how many people have had problems keeping their calendars and tasks connected to Outlook 2007.
The simple fact is that, regardless of whether you call it Windows Mobile Device Center, ActiveSync, or ActiveStink, the connection between your Windows Mobile device and desktop computer has been broken for years.
This is one area in which Microsoft needs to scrap everything and start over from scratch with a new program. The integration between your Windows Mobile device and desktop computer must be fast and seamless, and 100 percent reliable. Otherwise, you might as well go back to Post-It Notes and index cards in your wallet.
Editing The Registry, There Must Be A Better Way: For years, editing the registry has been something left only to the professionals. It has been shrouded in the mystery of phrases like, "Abandon all hope, ye who dare enter this forbidden realm!"
The truth is, however, that there is a lot of fantastic information and customization in the registry. Things as simple as changing a color, or turning off that annoying flashing light can only be controlled from the registry.
There are two problems here. First, Windows Mobile does not include the tools to edit the registry. In order to obtain a registry editor, you must purchase a third party application, such as the one which comes with SK Tools, or Resco File Explorer.
Even if you obtain a registry editor, take a look at the registry. Really, unless you are a professional, and I am not, this is completely meaningless gibberish. I mean, what is an Hkey anyway (don't answer that)? But why does this have to be the case? Many programs make it easy to change certain components of the registry. SKTools, MemMaid, Tweaks2k2, all of these programs (and others) offer utilities and an easy to use, graphical interface which allows you (without even knowing it) to change the registry.
So, why can't Windows Mobile give you this kind of control natively? Sure, there are some registry entries which are so volatile that the novice could destroy a device by changing them incorrectly. But for the most part, a lot of the registry can be used to create a vast level of customization and functionality in a Windows Mobile device. Why hide these controls? Most users crave more customization. Why not make the registry accessible to all users in an easy to use, intuitive environment.

Most of the things I have mentioned here are already possible with technology which exists and is in use today. Heck, eight of them are already available for Windows Mobile via third party applications, or are available on alternative platforms (such as the iPhone), so there is really no excuse for Microsoft not to incorporate these suggestions. In fact, the rumors we are hearing would indicate that at least some of them could be incorporated as early as Windows Mobile 7 or Windows Mobile 8, so help could be coming soon. The question is, will soon enough end up as too late as he iPhone, Android, and Symbian sun roughshod over the new and improved Windows Mobile before it ever gets released?
The most important thing, in my mind, for Microsoft to take away from this article is that the operating system and attendant software should be designed with the user in mind. In a lot of ways this never happened with Windows Mobile. Instead, it has the feel of an operating system in which the developers and designers decided which activities would be important for the user, rather than the user telling them which activities should be included. The result is an operating system which tends to fall well short of most users expectations. The good news, however, is that Windows Mobile has not strayed so far as to be completely unfixable. A few tweaks here and there, and a good shine should could have it ready to in no time. Until then, does anyone know how I can load Safari on my Sprint Mogul?

MIAMI (AP) - Florida environmental officials are celebrating an unprecedented boom in green turtle nests.
The Miami Herald reported Monday (http://hrld.us/1aNb3EM ) that wildlife officials say that green turtle nests have doubled statewide. They have totaled 11,500 nests in one 20-mile stretch near Melbourne Beach. Back in the 1960s, green turtles had been hunted almost to extinction. At one point, only about 40 nests were counted statewide.
Green turtles average 350 pound when full-grown. Their rebound began in 1978 when they were added to the federal list of endangered species. It became illegal to hunt them, sell their meat or harvest their eggs.
Florida coastal cities have also instituted seasonal lighting ordinances. Turtle hatchlings can get confused by city lights and crawl inland after birth instead of heading out to sea.

we can find small blessings,
but too often we overlook them,
choosing instead to spend our time
paying attention to problems.
We give our energy
to those who cause us trouble
instead of those who bring peace.
Starting now,
let's be on the lookout
for the bits of pleasure in each hour,
and appreciate the people who
bring love and light to everyone
who is blessed to know them.
You are one of those people.
On Thanksgiving,
I'm thankful for you.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving to all....may you have a Blessed Day !!
Have a Blessed Thanksgiving :)

Has anybody ever tried putting skis on a trailer to pull it across the snow and ice?
I think we all have pulled a trailer out onto a lake and watched everything bounce around all over the place because the wheels fall into every rut.
I'm thinking of building some to go underneath a snowmobile trailer and want to know if anybody has seen this work or not work.

Bugs, Improvements and Translations
If you find a bug or if you want this module to have a new feature, feel free to use the IssueTracker. You can also contribute by sending me the translation files of a new language.
Thanks for using this module.
So, when I want to use it in menu with one column it affects second module with the same articles but different name with six columns in footer.
Otherwise fantastic module, I love it's simplicity! Thanks
One minor, and this is seriously minor, improvement I would recommend. Add an alignment option for the image. By default the image is aligned left. I worked out a little hack in the article.php file, to do just this:
On line 94, right after "" add the following little html snippet "". Worked like a charm for me.
- very easy to use,
- ready to go right after installation.
- there's no Polish translation (of course, that's not the author's fault but it makes it harder for me to use this extention).
I recommend it to everyone. And thanks to the author.
Actually I'm accepting translations from other languages since the release of the first version. Anyone who wants to contribute is very welcome.
But to try a little harder, without using online translators like Google, I've just created this translation project to hopefully get more translations: https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/mod_random-article/
Thank you very much for your review.
I couldn't use it for what I wanted due to my site layout if there could be an option to choose number of images as well as words I would be able to use this
I saw that you also submitted your problem in our IssueTracker, as you should.
However the solution you need is a bit tricky to implement but I will try to do it.
Thank you for your review.
Assign a category and set some module settings to fit your taste and than you can show some random articles that people sometimes miss.
The module settings part comes with nice and clean hoover text when you want to change the display options, but those are self explained anyway.
If you need to display random content, with a small footprint, then this is your mod!
Artur is quick to respond to queries and I thank him for helping me get my issues sorted so quickly.
I added a state = 1 in the SQL query to only show published articles, but other than that did exactly what I needed it to do.
I'm glad it was useful to you.
I totally forgot about that trivial verification. I will include it in the next version, v1.2.
Thanks for pointing out this problem and for your review!

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This school has a great academic performance, the teachers actually help you if you need it. They really helped my older brother in algebra, he used to have a D in that class, but now he has a B.
This school's athletic program is wonderful. From cross country to football to soccer, Southeast Athletics are a great thing to be a part of, and are a force to be reconned with in the state.
Sputheast has dedicated teachers that will really prepare you for college or advanced placement classes if you choose. As the member of Varsity Swimming, the athletic programs here are top notch and rely on tradition which LSE has built throughtout its 50+ year history.
I'm currently in my junior year at LSE and I must say, it's a really great school. The teachers here do their best to make sure we understand what were here to do; and the student and extra-curricular activities leave little to be desired. Its a great place to be.
I attend Southeast now as a Shirette and member of the Varsity Girls Golf team! This school is amazing! The teachers, students and spirit is incredible! Go Knights!
First off I attend southeast high school and there is no place better to go to school then LSE. The teachers really care about what they are doing and as a 3 year letterman on the football team I have really enjoyed playing sports for southeast. I would recommend this school to anyone and everyone.
My oldest daughter attended LSE and now my son is. It is a great place for kids to get involved and the other parents care a great deal about the well being of all the students. My daughter was a Shirette and my son is on StuCo, and nothing could be better. This is a school that encourages student involvement and support and the students are happy to be there. School spirit is always at a high and the teachers are very involved also. I would highly recommend this school, it has great tradition and has been nationally recognized. And always remember, down with the Hawks! Go Knights!

ssd backup / restore question
I have an SSD as my "C" drive.
I back it up to my HDD or drive "D".
I have used Acronis and Paragon to do this.
It takes an incredibly long time (6+ hours) to restore from HDD to SSD with either program.
I have done the trim thing (windows 7 x64) and it reports OK.
I have 25 - 30 GB of data that I backup.
It takes under 10 minutes with either program to backup.
Restore operations from HDD to HDD used to take minutes.
Question: Is this restore time normal from HDD to SSD? Is this what I should expect under either package?
|My System Specs
|30 Apr 2011
Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1, Windows 8.1 Pro x64
Using Aconis True Image 2011, it takes about 25 minutes to restore my Windows 7 x64 Ultimate (about 45GB) to my SSD, OCZ Vertex 2..
I normally use another Windows 7 install on a standard hard drive to accomplish this but I have also used the Acronis bootable media as well.
I must say that I have only restored my system 4 times total, so far.
|My System Specs
|30 Apr 2011
Vista x64 / 7 X64
There is something not right there - and it affects both your backup apps.
Are you able to copy files from hd to ssd at good speed?
Restoring 25 gb takes me less than 15 mins with paragon - that is hd to hd ( I don't have an ssd )
|My System Specs
|01 May 2011
You guys are confirming my thoughts. File transfers from HD to SSD seem to be OK. No excessive amount of time. Just this restore thing seems to be an issue - it doesn't appear to be an alignment issue. I must have something set up weird. You are confirming that fact. It doesn't make sense to have a recovery take this long.

It is a subtropical citrus tree known for its sour to semi-sweet fruit, an 18th-century hybrid first bred in Barbados. Grapefruit comes in many varieties, determinable by color, which is caused by the pigmentation of the fruit in respect of its state of ripeness. Grapefruit not only is good natural remedies for depression; it is good for some ills, such as acidity, atherosclerosis, breast cancer, common cold, cholesterol, diabetes, digestive disorder, fatigue, fever, insomnia, pregnant woman, sore throat, stomach and pancreatic cancer etc. Grapefruit can have a number of interactions with drugs, often increasing the effective potency of compounds. Tart and tangy with an underlying sweetness, grapefruit has a juiciness that rivals that of the ever popular orange and sparkles with many of the same health promoting benefits. In daily life, the grapefruit juice also is very popular, especially in winter; it helps seriously boost your levels of vitamin C, which gives grapefruits a high place amongst various citrus fruits.

In addition to grapefruit, there are many herbs are good for depression, such as spinach, pumpkin, basil, lemon verbena, and so on.
I have been working under great pressure lately, and I feel very nervous in work. When I go home, I usually feel very tired, and have a bad sleep. In this case, I feel very tired in days as well. At the same time, I have a bad temper and retention. People around me think I have gotten depression. And then, I worried very much. Later, my friend told me that the grapefruit is herbal remedies for depression, and I can try it. Afterwards, I did as my friend said. In this period, I used to drink grapefruit juice. One month later, as expected, I got better.
