MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – A garbage truck driver got a surprise Tuesday morning when he discovered a man inside the back containment area of his truck.
The garbage truck driver was making pickups near the Warehouse District of downtown Minneapolis when he heard pounding from the back of the truck.
The driver stopped the truck and a man the driver says was homeless climbed out of the back and asked which direction south was before walking away.
The truck driver surmised the homeless person had been sleeping in a dumpster that was emptied into the truck earlier that morning.
The homeless man did not appear seriously injured.

New England West
"IT WAS A WONDERFUL experience. I had so much fun with the design of it, and with the meetings and modifications. I'd do it again without question," says Ken Winslow of the house he and his wife, Kaye, now enjoy. Given the less-than-cordial parting of the ways home owners sometimes have with their architects and contractors, this couple's experience gives hope to those considering the daunting task of commissioning a new home.
For the Winslows, theirs is truly a dream come true. The shingle-style waterfront house on Liberty Bay in the charming Kitsap community of Poulsbo was inspired by the seaside cottages of Maine. It features steep, shingled roofs, a turreted bay and a covered veranda that faces the bay along the entire length of the house.
For Winslow, this type of house has deeper meaning than simply its picturesque character. He is named Edward Kennell Winslow for two ancestors: Edward journeyed on the first voyage of the Mayflower and was governor of Plymouth Colony; his brother, Kennell, came over six months later. Ken grew up in a true Colonial home in Rhode Island and spent summers in Maine. He wanted a house that had contemporary conveniences but also reflected that Colonial image.
The few they found had some of the New England characteristics they wanted, but weren't where the family had agreed to limit the search. So they decided to find some property and build.
Kaye, who grew up in Yakima, had also come to admire the New England cottages, but a new house was not their first choice.
"We lived up the hill in a 25- to 30-year-old house," she explains. "We loved the area. And we promised our kids we wouldn't move because of the school district." Also, the couple work in Silverdale, and occasionally need to go to Seattle. Poulsbo is convenient to everything.
The property they eventually chose has obvious advantages. It is a short walk to downtown and steps from the yacht club, a plus for Ken, who loves to work on his sailboat docked at the marina. Across the street is a public park with tennis courts and other recreational facilities. That appealed to them and their three children. And the views across Liberty Bay and to Mount Rainier and the Olympic Mountains are splendid.
But the site held challenges. It adjoined industrial land that had housed marine fuel tanks, a pumping station, a dock and an office owned by Chevron. It was cleaned up in 1991, but had stood vacant ever since. Ken remembers thinking this was a lot that would take some vision. "Before we bought it, I would come over during the daytime and nighttime and bring a chair and just sit and listen. I'd watch how the sun rose and set, watch the traffic and think about what it might be like to live here."
They bought the site in 2000 but planned to wait three or four years before building. The couple narrowed the field of architects to those who might understand the coastal New England look they wanted, and ended up interviewing five.
"Peter Manning was the last we interviewed. They were all great. But Peter was the first one to say, 'I'd like to come to your house now and see how you live.' We thought that was a pretty novel thing to ask. And we went to his home, which was stunning. Manning grew up in the East and spent summers in Maine. He knew exactly the feel I was trying to capture. Instantly we hit it off. We got preliminary drawings and just decided to speed up the process and just do it." They broke ground in September 2001 with Jim Ingalls of Kitsap Trident Home as the general contractor.
Manning was challenged by the narrow, triangular lot, by city-required setbacks, and by the mandate to essentially design two front entrances, one facing the street, the other, the rear. The site was first raised about 8 feet and bordered by a rock retaining wall and gardens, giving it a commanding outlook over the bay.
The façade is sheathed with Eastern white cedar shingles and painted lattice trim in classic New England style. Of the shingles, Ken explains, "We hand dipped all of them, Kaye and I and the kids. It took us five months. And over time, as the sun hits them, it accelerates the graying process." Another small nod to his New England roots is the front-door hardware, which came from Old House Parts Co. in Kennebunk, Maine.
The couple gave Manning a long list of requirements for their dream house, and he managed to accommodate everything but a three-car garage. The floor plan groups major social spaces along an axis that takes full advantage of the water view. The master-bedroom suite is tucked into the land side of the house for privacy. The children have the second floor. Another stair leads to the den/media room, which is insulated from other living spaces.
The interior features cherry casework, ash floors and extensive use of Italian ceramic tile. The dining-room and entry-hall walls are faced in custom wainscots. Manning designed all the window trim, floor moulding, beam work, built-ins and columns.
The Winslows' former home had 3,400 square feet of space; the new one has just 200 square feet more (not counting the basement). But Ken and Kaye are quick to point out that it is more usable space, with interconnected rooms that have individuality but are part of the whole.
Kaye also recalls that visitors to their former contemporary house would notice the furniture — family heirlooms reflecting Colonial New England — and comment on the "interesting mix." Now, at last, their traditional furnishings fit the house.

MARAWI CITY (Mindanao Examiner / Sept. 17, 2012) – Hundreds of angry Muslims protesting the film "Innocence of Muslims" burned American flags at a huge rally on Monday in the southern Philippine city of Marawi.
The violence was triggered by the film which mocked Islam. It also sparked riots and protests in Yemen, Libya and Egypt and could spread to other Middle Easter countries, according to the Filipino migrants group called Migrante-Middle East.
John Leonard Monterona, Migrante-Middle East regional coordinator, said Filipino workers abroad should stay vigilant amid the growing anti-US protests over the film.
"To emphasize the need to be safe and to secure ourselves from harm and violent acts, we strongly urge our fellow OFWs to stay clear of protesting crowds especially near the diplomatic posts of the US and similar establishments as targets of massive protests."
"Once again, we strongly advised our fellow Filipinos in the Middle East to be respectful of the host government state religion and their symbols," Monterona said, adding that Filipinos abroad must refrain from maligning any religion and their prophets as what Innocence of Muslims had disrespectfully conveyed.
"Our Muslim brothers won't rise up in arms for nothing. Certainly, the movie Innocence of Muslims had done wrong or maliciously conveyed that is something protesting or even revolting courtesy of some war-monger US propagandists," Monterona said.
Filipino Muslims have denounced the film. And others threatened to kill filmmaker Egyptian-American Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, who is believed behind the "Innocence of Muslims," and used the name Sam Becile as the film's director.
The rally attracted more than 300 people in Marawi, but there were no reports of attacks on US interest in the province where American forces maintain small contingent training Filipino troops in anti-terrorism.
The country's largest Muslim rebel group, Moro Islamic Liberation Front, has appealed to Muslims not to resort to violence.
"We cannot address violence with violence. Islam is peace and a peaceful protest is better that a violent protest to express disgust," Von Al-Haq, a spokesman for the MILF which is currently negotiating peace with Manila, told the regional newspaper Mindanao Examiner.
In Zamboanga City where the US military maintains a base, local army commanders assured the safety of American forces.
"Forced protection is integral to US forces activities in Mindanao. Even before the attack of their embassy (in Libya), they have been implementing strict security procedures to protect their soldiers, equipment and temporary facilities. They do not move around without their AFP and PNP counterparts and make the necessary coordination if they require additional security," said a statement released by the Western Mindanao Command.(Mindanao Examiner)

A long view sheds light on super fund riskPUBLISHED: 01 Aug 2012 00:03:43 | UPDATED: 02 Aug 2012 00:07:06PUBLISHED: 01 Aug 2012 PRINT EDITION: 01 Aug 2012
Barrie Dunstan
Investment choice has always been a centrepiece of our superannuation system. But although recent investment markets have emphasised the importance of members making the right choices, the well-known lack of engagement with super still leaves many people in potentially unsuitable choices.
Australia's largest industry fund, AustralianSuper, has just begun to roll out a program aimed at engaging members and providing them with additional information to decide how to make better investment decisions.
AustSuper head of investor education, Hilary Spear, says member research last year showed that members found it difficult to understand investment options. Its guide for members lists 17 permutations of strategies.
She says the fund found members were in the dark about investment choice, didn't understand much of the information the fund gave and tended to use the "label" of the strategy, its asset allocation and past investment performance to make a choice.
After the global financial crisis savaged markets and members' returns, industry regulators pushed the super funds to introduce a universal measure of risk.
The super industry regards this measure, produced last year by the Financial Services Council and the Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia, as merely a good first step which lets people rank different funds on a common scale. It lists investment strategies from 1 (very low risk) to 7 (very high risk) based on the estimated number of negative year returns over a 20-year period.
The problem is this only gives a measure of short-term volatility.
A bigger problem for many super funds is that applying it to various funds' investment options puts many of them into the second-highest risk ranking.
In AustralianSuper's case, its "balanced" default mix (which contains the most members' money) scores a 6, or "high risk", with a potential four to five negative years in a 20-year period.
Since the recent crisis, people have seen risk only in terms of volatility of returns. In the short term, no one likes that and the natural reaction is for members to compare returns with cash – and even to move their investment choice into cash.
But in such a long-term investment as super there are other risks – especially the risk of not saving enough by retirement or of not keeping up with inflation.
The AustralianSuper program gives members detailed projected returns over short terms, such as one, three or five years, through to very long periods, such as 20 and 40 years.
The 40-year numbers starkly show the different results from investing only in cash against investing over the same period in a balanced option or Australian shares.
The 40-year projections show that, from a common starting point of $24,000, the cash investment produces a median final figure of $227,813. A balanced fund would produce a median result of $477,231 and shares would produce $520,824.
Over long terms in super, the passing of time actually turns the overall risk profile (as distinct from the volatility) on its head. As one older member said after looking at the numbers: "If you have a slightly wider definition of risk, you would say that cash is risky because it's giving you such a crap return over a long period of time."
Despite the short-term sense of safety in cash, staying there for too long means an investor misses out on the higher returns from a balanced portfolio. While the risk level for cash over five years or less is "very low", taking that approach over 20 years or more moves cash into a "high" risk rating. At the other end of the scale, shares move from "high" in the short term to "low to medium" risk over 20 years-plus.
That is, risk is relative and depends on individual circumstances. Applying longer time spans to investment decisions is critical and gives a much clearer picture than the one-dimensional risk measurement test based on year-by-year returns.
The AustralianSuper program aims to show members the difference between the short-term risks of volatile returns and the long-term risk that savings won't keep up with inflation.
Spear and head of policy Louise du Pre-Alba have done the work on the new approach. Chief executive Ian Silk thinks the whole issue is part of a larger problem. "The industry largely talks to itself an awful lot, but it doesn't generally engage with consumers nearly as much as it might."
The aim of the program is to equip members to sort through the best and worst case scenarios in any investment choice by giving short-, medium- and long-term projections of returns from various asset classes.
"We wanted to expand on the standard risk measure because it doesn't tell the full story or give the long-term picture for members," Spear says.
This risk measure is a really blunt instrument and consequently a really misleading instrument, Silk says. "I'm not sure how useful it is to tell someone that it will produce negative returns [over] four years in 20. It just begs the question: So what?"
While the industry has re-started consultations on trying to improve the risk measures, Spear says, you can't put one risk rating on one strategy because it depends entirely on someone's time frame.
She says the fund is describing the standard risk measure as an indication of annual volatility – but not a measure of risk.
In testing the new measures, Spear says AustralianSuper had to be careful how people reacted. In some cases, when presented with a bar chart showing the maximum and minimum ranges of returns, some people tended to look at the top amount and say, well, that's the promise. Interestingly, in the testing, younger members tended to look at the highest amounts while older members focused more on the lower levels of projections.
AustralianSuper has included the approach in its new, shorter product disclosure statement and it will be given to members in other documents from October. The fund is also overhauling its online calculator for members, so it will produce a range of outcomes rather than one.
Silk says while an overwhelming majority of members are still in the default option, an increasing number are opting out of that for some or all of their savings.
He says the fund can't tell people where to put money but "it has an obligation to make sure there is enough information presented in as useful and meaningful a way as possible. That's what this is aiming to do. It's too easy for us to say: don't worry about the poor results; super is a long-term investment. Well, it is for some, but it's not [long term] for others."

Crystal BAKUTEH Restaurant @ Johor Bahru (Malaysia)
Stopped by for lunch at this crystal Ba Ku Teh Restaurant (Though name should be Bak Kut Teh) in Malaysia.
On the outside, the place is quite old and the restaurant is located in one corner of this place which makes it not easy to find this place.
The seats are quite spacious with available walk space but it cannot hold too many people as it is still a small restaurant with few tables
For service, you will be served as soon as you enter the restaurant and when you start to order the food while food is served to you in a fast manner too. But for refill part, you will first need to get the attention of the waiter or waitress there before they will give you a refilled soup served in a bowl.
The food over there is cheap consider eating it in Singapore (and I am already in Malaysia) and ofcourse the taste is much better than most of the Bak Kut Teh selling in Singapore.
The Bak Kut Teh selling over here is those Cantonese/Hokkien style ones where they put medicinal herbs / Soy sauce (Darker colored soup) to enhance the taste and strengthen your health.
This dish is being served using those porcelain bowls, the color of the soup base is of a darker color either by the use of herbs only or added a bit of soy sauce.
Soup taste: There is strong yet not over-powering taste of herbal (If you like stronger taste, this is not for you) and it is not salty to drink it alone. The good part is that you can ask for more soup (They put give it to you in another bowl) if you feel you are drinking not enough of it.
Meat taste: Maybe they added new ribs together with some old ones so the meat is not give you the same tender bite. Some are quite hard and some are just nice which meat come off easily when you bite it off the bone.
Side Dish: Mei Cai and Fried Fritters (You Tiao)
Older people and some youngster should loves to eat this Mei Cai as it is a bit salty yet not too soft and sticky (Due to over cooked). This goes very well with rice or porridge and ofcourse eaten together with Bak Kut Teh.
As for Fried Fritters or what we called You Tiao, there is nothing special about it as they are cold, soft when they are served to us. I would prefer it to be grilled over some charcoal to make it crispy one the outside and soft on the inside. Ofcourse hot/warm when it is being served to us on the table.
These You Tiao is great when they are dipped inside the soup of Bak Kut Teh before eaten as it is able to soak up the soup making it like a soup bag.
There are more dishes as shown:
Notice: Try not to use their toilet as it is about the same as those older coffeeshop toilet in Singapore.

The Wine Country
It's as diverse as its population. Evolving to fit the changing needs of its environment, displaying the cornucopia of tastes, sights and smells that have become associated with it. It is a prize we cherish and a piece of all who visit. From the sea salt breezes to the golden mountaintop; the Redwood Forest to the panoramic vineyard view – Candlelight Inn has stoically sat in the midst of this utopian landscape for eight decades; rubbing elbows with its visionaries and hosting its pilgrims.
Whether looking for that hard to find gem in Napa antiquing, or to lose oneself in the opulence of the napa county spell, we bring all of the insight and connections you'll need to bear. Decades of personal interaction and a strong sense of our place in the annals of local lore give us the confidence necessary to continually place the Candlelight experience as among the most memorable in Wine, or any country.

AI is becoming a reality
A major
milestone is reached in the field of artificial intelligence this year, as a computer
passes the Turing Test for the first time.** This test is conducted by a human judge who is made to engage in a natural
language conversation with one human and one machine, each of which
tries to appear human. The participants are placed in isolated locations.
Information technology has seen exponential growth for decades. This has led to vast improvements in memory, processing power, software algorithms, voice recognition and overall machine intelligence. It has now reached the stage where an independent judge is
literally unable to tell which is the real human and which is not.* Answers
to certain "obscure" questions posed by the judge may appear
childlike from the AI – but they are humanlike nonetheless.*

automation of supermarkets and retail environments
In developed
nations, the majority of retail environments are now cashless. Automated
systems have made it possible for customers to shop with little or no
physical interaction with a checkout.
Items are
simply "scanned" as they pass out of the door. The customer
is identified by a chip in their card, or with a prepayment transponder
obtained from a vending machine outside the store. Transactions are
then generated over the Internet. This
system greatly saves time, improves security and reduces costs for the
retailer by eliminating the need for checkout staff.
can also utilise Augmented Reality, to quickly locate shop items. A
list on their mobile phone can direct them to the appropriate aisle
and shelf. Users can also make use of glasses with displays built into
the lenses.
advertising is widespread
adverts – similar in style to those seen in the film Minority Report – are becoming widespread by the end of this decade.** Microsensors embedded in posters and other outdoor media can identify
people by the chips in their mobile phone, credit card and other personal
effects. These adverts are then customised depending on the interests
and lifestyle of the person in question.
Pairs of
ultrasonic beams – targeted to intersect at specific points – deliver
a localised sound message that only a single person can hear. This means
that even in crowded situations, the adverts can be made personal and
Civil liberties
campaigners decry the use of such technology, given the anxiety and
paranoia resulting from such marketing tactics; but the demands of business
win through.
Global reserves of silver are running out
Silver is a precious metal which has been used by humans for thousands of years in currency, jewelry and sculpture. In modern times it has a range of applications including dental fillings, mirrors, nuclear reactors, photographic film, solar reflectors and solder, along with alloys to make silverware, ornaments and the like. Due to its high conductivity (the highest of any metal) silver is useful in electronic devices such as radios, antennas, computer keyboards and audio equipment, as well as wires and cables. As most silver ions are toxic to microbes, silver is also used in bandages and medical coatings.
Silver has long been a high value commodity, often used for investment and even as the base for entire economies. Mines were once found throughout the world, though the bulk was extracted in China and Poland. Between 1900 and the early 2000s, silver ores as a percentage of geologic formations declined by over 80%. New mine deposit discoveries peaked in the mid-1980s, with average annual discoveries declining over 60% between then and 2011.* By the late 2020s, reserves have reached critically low levels,** causing a high degree of economic disruption and loss of investment. Prices have skyrocketed, driving demand for alternative materials.
In some applications, silver is able to be replaced by aluminum, copper and rhodium, but the lower conductivity necessitates new refinement techniques. Thankfully, recycling is proving effective enough to keep the supply somewhat stable for a few more decades,* though demand continues to outpace availability.
Chad disappears from the map
In the
19th century, Lake Chad was among the largest lakes in the world. It
supported a vast ecosystem of fish, waterfowl, crocodiles, shore birds
and other animals. Due to
a combination of drought, irrigation and human activity, it has
disappeared entirely by now.* This
is having a devastating impact on Niger, Nigeria, Chad and Cameroon
– with 30 million people depending on the lake for agriculture,
drinking water, livestock, fishing and other purposes. Famine and civil war have erupted as huge numbers
of refugees attempt to flee the region.
Madagascar's radiated tortoise is extinct in the wild
Years of unmitigated hunting and loss of habitat, as well as capture for the illegal exotic pet trade, have caused the wild population of the radiated tortoise to dwindle to almost nothing.* Like over 80% of the island's flora and fauna, the radiated tortoise can be found nowhere else on Earth naturally.
The government of Madagascar attempted to halt the decline by introducing a series of protection laws. Unfortunately, the size of the island's wildlife areas and poor economic conditions meant these restrictions were all but ignored. Even protected areas were invaded by poachers. Surveys in the 2010s revealed a shocking decline in the number of tortoises. The breeding population quickly shrunk throughout the 2020s.
Though there is hope of future repopulation using those bred in captivity, the shrinking habitats they once occupied make this prospect unlikely. In another 15 years or so, almost all of Madagascar's forests will be gone.*
Jupiter's Great Red Spot is disappearing
The first sightings of a Great Red Spot on Jupiter were made in the 1660s by Robert Hooke and Giovanni Cassini. This feature – a monstrous, anticyclonic storm – was not studied in detail until the late 19th century. At that time, its diameter was found to be around 25,500 miles (41,000 km), large enough to swallow three entire planet Earths.
On 25th February 1979, NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft returned close-range photos of the planet. These revealed that its Great Red Spot had shrunk to 14,500 miles (23,335 km). Later studies by the Hubble Space Telescope, from the 1990s onwards, revealed that it was continuing to get smaller in size. By 2012, the rate of shrinkage was nearly 1000 kilometres per year and increasing. It was theorised that small eddies, observed feeding into the storm, were accelerating this change by altering the internal dynamics. The raging winds in this turbulent region were measured to be 384 mph (618 km/h), greatly surpassing even the strongest hurricanes on Earth.
Another space probe – Juno – orbited the gas giant in 2016. This provided a greater understanding of the atmospheric composition, cloud motions, temperature, magnetosphere, gravity and other properties affecting the overall dynamics of Jupiter. Once again, the Great Red Spot was seen shrinking and losing momentum. This process would continue into the following decade. By the end of the 2020s, it has vanished entirely.** Yet another probe, Jupiter Icy Moon Explorer (JUICE), arrives in 2030, just after its disappearance.
wreck of the Titanic has decomposed
By the
late 2020s, the famous wreck of the Titanic has been reduced to a mere
rust patch. Metal-eating bacteria have dissolved what remains of the
once mighty structure. Though some artifacts were salvageable, any hope
of recovering the ship itself is now gone.*

We will have entities by 2030 that seem to be conscious, and that will
claim to have feelings. We have entities today, like characters in your
kids' video games, that can make that claim, but they are not very convincing.
If you run into a character in a video game and it talks about its feelings,
you know it's just a machine simulation; you're not convinced that it's
a real person there. This is because that entity, which is a software
entity, is still a million times simpler than the human brain.
In 2030,
that won't be the case. Say you encounter another person in virtual reality
that looks just like a human but there's actually no biological human
behind it – it's completely an AI projecting a human-like figure in virtual
reality, or even a human-like image in real reality using an android robotic
technology. These entities will seem human. They won't be a million times
simpler than humans. They'll be as complex as humans. They'll have all
the subtle cues of being humans. They'll be able to sit here and be interviewed
and be just as convincing as a human, just as complex, just as interesting.
And when they claim to have been angry or happy it'll be just as convincing
as when another human makes those claims.
At this point,

Gmail Update v4.3 Allows You To Reply, Archive, Or Delete Emails Right In The Notification Shade
Monday 18th of March 2013
Google has finally added the feature that we've been wanting since Google first started adding functionality to notifications back in Ice Cream Sandwich: the ability to archive email directly from the notification shade. Now, when you get a new email, you can choose what to do with it immediately. This is extremely handy for the chronic email checkers who would like to be able to dismiss the clutter as it comes in, rather than let it pile up laterThis is something that seems so obvious that when Ron reviewed Jelly Bean, the lack of buttons was a disappointment in an otherwise fantastic update. Still, it's a welcome addition. The app update also brings faster search results and better search suggestions, so your Gmail-ing should be better all around.We've also found one new feature that escaped the change log. Now, you can swipe to remove a label from an email when you're viewing said label's search results. This is combined with the old ability to archive from the inbox or delete from system labels. The action performed by the gesture depends on the context in which you use it.Here'

Change Text Coloro
Sunday 25th of April 2010
Ok! I decided to make my own theme for the N21. I have experience in design and all so this should not be a problem.I made a few changes and put it on my phone. Everything is OK. Except the status bar text color and the color of some buttons. I am working on a dark theme so I will need white text. I did manage to put white text on the clock using this tool: http://alldroid.org/threads/14738-ap...TED-02-17-10**But I can't manage to change the text color of the notifications. I tryed to get the status_bar.xml file and followed a tutorial that should make the notification white but without success.If anyone has an idea on how to change the text color please let me know.

Home screen widgets frozen although buttons work
Monday 15th of April 2013
In a previous question I asked why a digital clock widget froze every so often (there were no replies). This is now happening several times a day but I now realise that ALL screen Widgets, on all screens freeze (except the analogue clock) - PhotoFrame keeps the same picture, the Music Player keeps the same album art and, while the Play/Pause button works, it does not change on the screen. This also happens with all other toggle buttons (Bluetooth, GPS, Silent etc), they work but their screen image remains the same. Notification icons change as usual.Reinstalling the Widgets frees them up again as does restarting the phone but that is becoming a pain when you have to do it several times a day.Any suggestions why this is happening and how to fix it.Allan

Change Notification buttons
Monday 26th of September 2011
Hi folks. I've just upgraded from an HTC Hero running Froyd Villian, to a Galaxy S2.One of the things that I can't find how to change, is the buttons in the notification bar. There's one for Wifi, but not one for data. I don't have 3G enabled all the time, so is there a way to add that button in place of one of the others?My Hero had this as part of Froyd Villain.

notification sound volume quick change
Thursday 05th of January 2012
I need an app that will easily change the notifications for calls, texts, emails, etc. When the phone is on my belt it needs to be loud, when I am at my desk it needs to be quiet, when I go to a meeting it needs to be silent. It would be nice to have three buttons (loud, quiet, silent), that I could configure, to set the notification levels where I want them by just touching the button.

[Hardware MOD] Adding an External Notification Light to the Optimus V
Monday 09th of May 2011
I originally opened up my phone because I wanted to see if I could replace the LED used to backlight the hard key buttons with a brighter one and maybe change the color. I am using the backlight as a substitute for a notification light, but the keys are very dim. Well, it turned out that the LED for the backlight wasn't dim at all. It was super bright, and there were actually three of them. Because the buttons have their button circuitry directly under them, their backlight LED's are offset and the light that shines through is routed through a maze of rubber and plastic first. I decided that since the LED's were offset, I could just drill a hole directly over one of them and create my own notification light. The mod is very simple, but I'm going to purposely leave out pictures for some of the steps to scare away incompetent people that shouldn't be doing this to their electronic devices. If you can't figure out how to do this without the pictures, you shouldn't try this at all. This will void your warranty in the most OBVIOUS way. Do not try this unless you are comfortable taking a

Mobile Network Notification Panel
Saturday 30th of November 2013
So I just got the Galaxy S4 on AT&T yesterday. It came with Android 4.2. I came from an HTC Inspire and it had buttons that would turn of things like Mobile Network, WiFi, Bluetooth, etc, etc. After digging, I found out that you can change the buttons in the notification area. So I moved the "Mobile Network" button up there. Then I upgraded to 4.3 this morning and I noticed that the button was gone. Is this the same for anyone else. It is kind of annoying since I don't like to leave the Mobile Network on (I have a small data plan) and my old phone was able to turn off the network in one click. Anyone have a work around for this in the meantime if the feature is not coming back? Thanks

YouTube App not hiding notification bar
Wednesday 19th of March 2014
Hi, I'm having an issue when watching videos in full screen with the YouTube app. Sometimes, videos don't go to true full screen. The notification bar and navigation buttons change to a low-profile mode (only battery displayed on the bar, and small dots in place of the back, home and multitasking buttons), but never leave the screen. I have tried reinstalling the app and restarting my phone, but the problem still happens. I have no idea if the problem is with the OS or the app, but it only happens some of the time.

Cycle Country Announces The Closing Of The Sale Of Its ATV Accessories Product Line To Kolpin Outdoors Inc.; Announces Changes Of Corporate And Subsidiary Names: And Announces Closing Of Tenth Amendment To Its Secured Credit Line
Cycle Country Accessories Corp. (AMEX:ATC), announced that they have closed on the sale of its ATV Accessories Product Line to Kolpin Outdoors Inc. Further, the Company announced the change of its corporate and subsidiary names to reflect that Kolpin has acquired those trade names. In addition, the Company announced the closing of the Tenth Amendment to its Secured Credit Line.
The Company announced that, effective December 31, 2011, it has successfully closed on the sale of its ATV accessories product line to Kolpin Outdoors Inc. for $8,000,000, subject to certain adjustments. This sale was previously discussed in a press release and Form 8-K dated September 1, 2011 as well as in the Company's filing of its DEFM14A Information Statement filed with the SEC on November 18, 2011. This sale was for the ATV Accessories Product Line only, which did not include any of the Company's manufacturing operations, including real estate, machinery and equipment. It was an asset sale only, and did not transfer any of the Company's liabilities. Further, it only affected the sales, engineering, product development, and customer service employees of Cycle Country, and did not include or affect any of the manufacturing or operational personnel of the business.
The parent Company, Cycle Country Accessories Corp. (a Nevada corporation), will operate under the new corporate name of ATC Venture Group Inc. ("ATC Venture Group"). It will continue to be publicly traded on the NYSE/American Stock Exchange under the symbol "ATC".
The subsidiary company, Cycle Country Accessories Corporation, (an Iowa corporation), will be renamed Simonsen Iron Works Inc. The Company will maintain its manufacturing operations in Spencer, Iowa, but will operate under the name of Simonson Iron Works, restoring the heritage of that Company's 106 year history of successful contract metal fabricating. Simonsen Iron Works was a well-known and highly-respected metal fabricator, and became the metal fabricating supplier to Cycle Country in 1981. Cycle Country Accessories Corp. purchased Simonsen Iron Works in 2005, though it was originally founded in 1906 as a blacksmith business. It was founded in Sioux Rapids, Iowa and moved to our present location in Spencer in 1994. We operate out of a beautiful, modern manufacturing facility with over 140,000 square feet. Simonsen Iron Works will continue to manufacture the ATV product line for Kolpin outdoors through this product year under a manufacturing supply agreement, and is currently in negotiations with Kolpin to work on the extension of this agreement into the next product year.

Found this on another forum - thought it was interesting!
(Originally from liveaudiowrestling.com)
Honorable Mentions: CARD SHARKED
Razor Ramon vs. Goldust, Wrestlemania 12
Mankind vs. Vader, Wrestlemania 13
Kane vs. X-Pac, Wrestlemania 16
Edge vs. William Regal, Wrestlemania 18
John Cena vs. Fabolous and Jay-Z, Wrestlemania 19
Matt Hardy vs. Mark Henry, Wrestlemania 20
- Scott Hall and Goldust were feuding over the Intercontinental Title, but Hall gave notice to jump to WCW and was coincidentally suspended for failing a drug test, so they put Roddy Piper in his spot.
- Mick Foley wrote in Have A Nice Day about his idea to reprise his WCW feud with Vader, but it was decided to make them a team first so they could break up and then feud. Except they never got around to the breakup or the feud. Too bad, 'cause that show could've used another good match.
- Kane and X-Pac were programmed for like six months from the end of 1999 to the beginning of 2000 and were building to some kind of ultimate blowoff for Mania involving explosions or something. But that got nixed and they did a not-so-ultimate tag match instead.
- Edge and Regal were programmed for like four months from the end of 2001 to the beginning of 2002 and were building to Edge regaining the IC title at Mania. But the matches were boring and the feud wasn't over, so they aborted it with one month left and put Rob Van Dam over the belt instead.
- John Cena was supposed to "battle rap" against some stiff MCs, but it fell through. What'd do you want him to do, man, call out your fiance? He'd have a better competition battle rapping with Beyonce.
- Matt Hardy as a heel was on a losing streak gimmick after jumping to Raw, and apparently the plan was that he'd finally pick up a big win and turn face by beating the Very Strong Man, Mark Henry. Except Henry got hurt just before Mania, Hardy didn't get on the show, and things would get increasingly worse for him from there.
Hulk Hogan vs. Ultimate Warrior, Wrestlemania 7
Hulk Hogan vs. Ric Flair, Wrestlemania 8
These are ranked so low because I'm almost positive they're not really real. Hogan vs. Warrior might've been a long term idea, but when the time came, with Warrior not drawing like Hogan did, I assume they thought there was more money in Hogan chasing the title against a heel, especially draped in the flag against a Per$ian Gulf War-based heel. Hogan vs. Flair was announced on TV, but just as storyline, as the main event with Hogan had been promised to Sid Justice all along, Hogan/Flair had already done a house show run, and, as funny as it sounds, Vince probably thought a monster like Sid would be the bigger draw. Would both suggested matches have been cooler and more historic? Yeah. Were they ever concretely planned to happen? I don't believe so. An interesting sidenote is that if you read Observers from late '90-91, there's actually some speculation that if the WWF really thinks they're going to sell out the L.A. Colosseum, then their best bet would be if the unhappy Ric Flair left WCW for the WWF and wrestled Hogan. A little under a year later and he does, but they never headline a Wrestlemania. They do headline a Bash at the Beach, but it's not quite the same thing.
The Undertaker vs. Kurt Angle, Wrestlemania 21
The Undertaker and Kane vs. Gene Snitsky and John Heidenreich, Wrestlemania 21
After Kurt Angle's return from a neck injury in summer 2004, he and Undertaker came up with the idea of headlining Wrestlemania 21 on the Smackdown side as the two top stars who would be kept apart building to the big match, where Taker would finally be able to have a classic match at Mania. Well, Bradshaw's title reign inexplicably kept going and Angle's neck explicably started hurting again, and plans changed. Inspired by the success of their amazing vignettes together, there arose the idea of teaming Snitsky and Heidenreich against a reunited Taker and Kane in an interpromotional tag match conflating each brands' respective awful feud. However, over the past five years, the Undertaker has shown a remarkable knack for getting out of bad Wrestlemania matches and getting into good ones. Instead of a probable tag match against Rikishi and Haku at 17, he ended up with a strong match with Triple H. Instead of a suggested match with Kevin Nash at 18, he ended up with a good match with Ric Flair. And here, instead of a nightmare of a match against Snitsky and Heidenreich, he ended up having a very good match with Randy Orton. By also opening the door for the Angle vs. Shawn Michaels match, there's probably been no decision in the history of wrestling to cause a greater swing in match quality.
Vince McMahon vs. Mick Foley, Wrestlemania 17
Vince McMahon vs. Eric Bischoff, Wrestlemania 19
Vince McMahon vs. Steve Austin, Wrestlemania 20
I think it's safe to assume that we're never going to see Vince wrestle a match again, although after seeing his Lazarus-like appearance on Monday, maybe I should think twice. Still, McMahon turned down doing a match with Foley for this year's show even before he obliterated his legs at the Royal Rumble. Foley regrets not doing the match when it was first offered to him in 2001, opting instead to referee Vince vs. Shane. In 2003, the allure and drawing power of a McMahon/Bischoff match had already been nullified by the nature of Eric's introduction and role on TV, but it was going to happen anyway, until Hulk Hogan showed up again and took the match and the Mania payday from his dear friend. They ran it a year later on TV with Austin officiating as an afterthought in the build to Wrestlemania 20 -- the idea had actually been to have an Austin vs. McMahon shortcut brawl-type match after Vince had spent the entire year getting heat on himself going over Hogan, Zach Gowen, Stephanie, and Undertaker. The only problem was nobody bothered to tell Austin and he declined doing the match. Vince vs. Bret Hart is only going to happen when cloning is invented.
23-22. QUAD QUITTY DJs
Steve Austin vs. Triple H, Wrestlemania 18
Steve Austin vs. Triple H, Wrestlemania 19
The best laid plans of vice and men. When Triple H tore his quad in May 2001, he was in a tag team with a heel Steve Austin, the point of which was to lead to a breakup that would turn Hunter face and let him challenge Austin for the world title. The injury put him on the shelf for some seven months and gave him a natural sympathetic return angle to come back and headline Mania 18 with -- a face Triple H winning the WWF Title from heel Steve Austin. Weird to think about, huh? Everything fell into place for Hunter, but nothing fell into place for anybody else. With WWF booking and any semblance of longterm direction disintegrating in HHH's absence, Austin was turned back babyface before Hunter returned for their match. They kept the idea of HHH returning from injury to win the world title, but used Chris Jericho as the heel champion instead, and it did not work out very well for him. Or for Hunter, for that matter, since his Mania main event and big title win didn't get over and played to mostly silence.
Upset with, among other things, that disintegrating WWF booking, Steve Austin left the WWF a couple months after Mania 18. By Mania 19, he was back in the fold, and his natural opponents to return against were the Rock and Triple H. With Rock's sights set on doing a match with Goldberg, that paired up Austin and HHH. Hunter laid the groundwork for Austin's return by alluding to "pulling an Austin" and walking out on Raw, and by objecting to Austin's winning Raw Superstar of the Decade in January. But once again, the Austin Wrestlemania match got away from him when a deal couldn't be reached with Goldberg and the decision was made to reprise the Austin/Rock rivalry. Since Kevin Nash would not be recovered from his own torn quad in time to work with him at Mania, Hunter had to settle for and bury Booker T.
The Rock vs. Goldberg, Wrestlemania 19
The Rock vs. John Bradshaw Layfield, Wrestlemania 21
After the end of his career as a full-time on the road performer in 2001, it seems like the Rock has made it his goal to come up with original, special matches as a good reason to come back for Wrestlemania each year. In 2002, he wrestled Hulk Hogan in a dream match, and in 2004, he reunited the Rock & Sock Connection and wrestled Ric Flair. I would think Rock would probably consider both matches artistic successes in terms of doing something original and special, performing with legends and drawing record-setting buyrates. But he's had other ideas that didn't quite come to fruition. In 2003, Rock essentially personally brokered a deal between Goldberg and WWE so that he could have another never-before-seen Wrestlemania dream match. However, that deal wasn't finalized in time to set up a match for Mania, so it was held off for the next month. Alas, the buildup was a disaster, the match wasn't much better, and the buyrate was far from record-setting. Rock put over Goldberg with the idea of winning a rematch at Wrestlemania 20, but they didn't bother.
For Mania 21, Rock was purportedly very excited to once again come back and do something special for Wrestlemania, and had come up with a handful of ideas that he suggested to Vince. One of these was to wrestle Sting, whose name has been semi-seriously mentioned for every Mania since 17. According to Dave, the Sting match was only his second-best idea, and if I was to speculate, I might guess at his wanting to do a singles match with Flair stemming from the year before (already done once but few remember it), or a Rock and Steve Austin vs. Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair dream tag match that Dave and Mike Tenay thought about on one Observer Live. Whatever it was, WWE had different ideas and wanted him to wrestle JBL, back when the plan was to keep the belt on him indefinitely through the spring. At some point there was even talk of Rock winning the title and dropping it back two days later to swerve everyone who would assume he couldn't win. Anyway, it all became moot when the company let his contract expire in an "oversight" and he ended up not working the show in any capacity. Our loss. Things would certainly be a lot different right now if Rock/Layfield had happened; for one, John Cena's coronation would've been held off. Instead, WM21 ended the show with their two young hopes for the future as the new world champions: John Cena and Randy Orton. Or ... wait.

Here at Inhabitat, we have a soft spot for all things green. But we have to make an exception for this rather colorful "Christmas tree" that took center stage on the ground floor reception at communications agency, AMV BBDO throughout the month of December. The rescued dead tree was given new life with the help of graphic designer Alex Ostrowski and illustrator and set maker Hattie Newman who thought to embellish the branches with colorful paper leaves.
The tree at AMV BBDO was inspired by the success of a similar tree installation at YCN Live, an event that featured emerging creative talent back in late August through early September 2008 at the Village Underground. Alex and Hattie worked together with Hackney Borough Council to engage visitors with a resurrected tree from East London. Those at the event were invited to embellish the tree's branches with colorful paper. They also invited everyone to use their own creativity and write or draw on the paper before placing it on the tree!

ATLANTA (AP) — The Houston Rockets are winning with James Harden performing like the team's new franchise player.
The Atlanta Hawks struggled in the start of their new era without their longtime franchise player.
ATLANTA (AP) — The Houston Rockets are winning with James Harden performing like the team's new franchise player.
The Atlanta Hawks struggled in the start of their new era without their longtime franchise player.
Harden continued to shine at the start of his Houston career, scoring a career-high 45 points to lead the Rockets to a 109-102 victory over the Hawks on Friday night.
Harden, traded to the Rockets from Oklahoma City on Saturday, topped 30 points for the second time in his first week with his new team.
"He's pretty good, I'd say," Rockets coach Kevin McHale said. "He just kept battling and playing."
Jeremy Lin, who had 21 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists, said Harden makes a "big time" difference.
"He frees everybody up," Lin said. "He knows what he's doing. We're thankful that he showed up."
Marcus Morris had 17 points for Houston.
Rockets center Omer Asik had a career-high 19 rebounds but did not score, missing seven shots from the field.
Lou Williams led the Hawks with 22 points in his Atlanta debut. Josh Smith had 18 points and 10 rebounds.
Williams averaged a career-high 14.9 points per game with the Sixers last season when he was runner-up to Harden for NBA's Sixth Man of the Year Award.
Williams appears bound for another year as a sixth man. Harden is thriving in his new role as a starter.
"It's a lot different," Harden said. "Having the offense run basically through you, it's a lot different, but that's my job now so I've got to get used to it."
Harden said he wasn't focused on his impressive scoring in his first two games.
"I don't even worry about it," he said. "I just go out there and play hard."
The Hawks traded six-time All-Star Joe Johnson to the Brooklyn Nets in July for five players and a draft pick. Johnson averaged more than 20 points in five of his seven seasons as Atlanta's top player.
"We're still trying to establish an identity," Hawks coach Larry Drew said. "That may take a little time to do."
Drew said his team struggled in rebounding and on defense, especially in helping stop Harden's drives.
"When he gets the basketball in transition, he's going to get to the basket," Drew said. "It won't be just one guy's responsibility, it will be a team responsibility."
With the game tied 92-92, Harden had consecutive baskets, including a three-point play, to give Houston the lead for good. Chandler Parson's 3-pointer with 1:55 remaining pushed the lead to 100-94.

Wedding: 8/17/2013
We started working with Dave and Todd from Ptown Parties in early 2013 for our August 10th 2013 wedding, and could not be happier about the entire experience. Our friends and family continue to rave about the entire weekend, many have told us it is the best wedding they have ever been to. We had a number of detailed requests and events including a rehearsal clambake, private beach ceremony, and 130+ person cocktail hour and tented reception. Each event was executed professionally and beautifully - beyond our expectations. We had a severe rainstorm the night of the clambake, so Dave and Todd quickly transformed their restaurant into the clambake location- the night was amazing, you never would have known we had to make last minute changes. They also helped us coordinate travel for our guests to each event.
Members of the Ptown Party team were equally impressive and professional. Dallas participated in our rehearsal, ceremony, and reception - and was an amazing server. Guests at our wedding could not believe the level of service - from getting my 86 year old grandmother a cup a coffee with her own cream, to making sure folks he remembered from the rehearsal dinner had their beer of choice available at the reception. Dave and Todd worked seamlessly with our vendors including the florist, DJ, cocktail hour band, transportation, and photographer. They took care of EVERYTHING. They were responsive and attentive to our specific requests as well, setting up corn-hole boards we ordered for the cocktail hour, setting up our personalized centerpieces, special ordering Italian cookies for our dessert instead of a cake...even going so far as working with the town to ensure we could park at the beach at no cost for our ceremony! We have a large, animated family - The Ptown Party team did an amazing job ensuring everyone had a fabulous time. The food was delicious and there was plenty of it. We would HIGHLY recommend Ptown Parties! They made our dream wedding happen.
Wedding: 9/24/2011
If you want to have a caterer plus SO MUCH MORE then please consider Todd & Dave from Ptown Parties. Not only did they cook exquisite food for our wedding day, but they helped with referral sheets for wedding venues, bakers, DJs, photographers, salons, etc. Ptown Parties is a caterer plus a wedding planner all in one (without the added cost of a wedding planner).
My husband and I wanted a smaller more intimate wedding (65 guests) so through Ptown Parties we found a beautiful home in Provincetown that housed about 15 family members/friends for four days, and it was also the location of the wedding ceremony and reception. It's a gorgeous home (3 Creek Hill Rd), and the entire weekend felt immensely intimate and fun! It was a destination wedding in Massachusetts!
The cost per head depends on the menu you choose for your event. (For the wedding we ended up paying about $65 pp), We also used them for a Fish Fry the night before the wedding and for brunch the day after the wedding. Everything was fabulous and reasonably priced.
We recommend Ptown Parties without reservation! Our wedding was beautiful and very low-stress for us. Ptown Parties handled everything, but left room for our own creative processes to flow.
I hope you have a beautiful wedding day and an enjoyable road heading towards the big day!
Wedding: 9/10/2011
My only regret is that I didn't get to eat more of the food! Where to start...Dave and Todd were so helpful in so many aspects. And they did a great job in helping us select the perfect menu for our reception! It was so difficult to choose from all the delicious options, but they were able to help us narrow it down and provided our guests with an eye catching, mouth waterting, belly pleasing dinner experience! We received many compliments from our guests, who couldn't get enough of the food...glad we decided to go with a buffet!

Christmas time is here...and so is the 45th anniversary of A Charlie Brown Christmas. Filled with humor, heart and a universal message of goodwill toward men, the tale of Chuck's search for the meaning of Christmas, Snoopy's prize-winning decorations and the saddest little tree ever never fails to make the season bright. So we rang up executive producer Lee Mendelson to talk about the special's lasting legacy, how it came to be, and Mariah Carey's take on its iconic theme as performed on her "Merry Christmas to You" special Monday night (9/8c, ABC).
