Book City: Lions and tigers and books, oh my!
Deborah Jensen has been President and CEO of the 92-acre Woodland Park Zoo since 2002. She's responsible for its animal inhabitants, as well as education, research and conservation programs. Jensen is a conservation biologist by training, and it's clear from her reading list, past and present, that animals and the natural world are her lifelong vocation.
Valerie Easton: What books are open on your nightstand right now?
Deborah Jensen: My nightstand typically has a collection of books, some started, some finished and some aspirational. Right now that includes "Biomimicry" by Janine Benyus and "Animals in Translation," a book about using the mysteries of autism to decode animal behavior, by Temple Grandin and Catherine Johnson.
Sounds like homework….do you read novels?
There's so much content I'm interested in, I don't have time to read much fiction. When I was younger I read all of Wallace Stegner and William Faulkner. I might pick up a biography and I'll probably have to read Maria Semple's book, "Where'd You Go, Bernadette?" because it's in the news.
As a conservation biologist, what books do you recommend people read to deepen their understanding of the natural world?
I like folks to read something that really touches their heart about a place that is meaningful to them – it might be an older book like Marjory Stoneman Douglas' "A River of Grass" about the Everglades. Or "Arctic Dreams" by Barry Lopez or a local book like "The Street Smart Naturalist: Field Notes From Seattle" by David B. Williams.
Then read something powerful to remind you of what we are losing — like "Life in the Valley of Death: The Fight to Save Tigers in a Land of Guns, Gold and Greed" by Alan Rabinowitz. We're losing species at a rate we never could have foreseen.
Read something to remind you how much we think we are "in charge," like "The Control of Nature" by John McPhee. Definitely read Richard Louv, either "Last Child in the Woods" or his more recent "Nature Principle" about how to save children from nature-deficit disorder. It will remind you what is at stake for this generation of children who are growing up in cities.
"Where the Wild Things Were" by Will Stolzenburg is a great look at the world we are creating by taking out all the predators. And "The Last Flight of the Scarlet MacCaw" by Bruce Barcott is a story about a woman's single-handed attempt to make a difference in Belize.
Any books to educate us on current zoo issues?
Zoo books are different than they used to be, now that zoos are living classrooms and so deeply involved with wildlife conservation. "Sailing With Noah: Stories from the World of Zoos," by Jeffrey Bonner, CEO of the St. Louis Zoo, is a good choice.
What books or authors inspired your career path?
Probably the Golden Guides and the Peterson field guides were the initial inspirations when I was a child. I was also inspired by scientists and zookeepers and by the animals and plants themselves. Using the Peterson field guides, I could learn the names of the animals and begin to understand how to distinguish one creature and plant from another.
Golden Guides?
They were little picture books about butterflies, trees, rocks and minerals, introductions to nature targeted for younger kids.
Any other favorite childhood books?
I loved Winnie the Pooh and "The Big Green Book" by Robert Graves, illustrated by Maurice Sendak.
Do you have a favorite genre? Mystery, sci-fi?
When my daughter was younger I read all the series she was reading — the Harry Potter books, the Warrior Cats, the Twilight series. I kind of miss these, though I did read the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series.
We also have a ridiculous number of cookbooks — you can't have only technical books in the house. My husband is a better chef than I am, but we both love cooking. We use the Cooks Illustrated collection and a beat-up copy of the old-fashioned "Joy of Cooking".

Best Evidence That Giving Music Away Pays Off Denver 2010 - Pretty Lights
Five consecutive sellouts at every major theater in the state. Five! On his own, or as the headliner: Aggie Theatre, Boulder Theater, Fox Theatre, Gothic Theatre, Ogden Theatre. Yeah, Derek Vincent Smith, who performs under the Pretty Lights moniker, is pretty much playing with the house's money at this point. While the recording industry scrambles to figure out just how to survive in the digital era, Smith is giving his music away on his website. All of it. Free. And clearly, the gambit has paid off, since those consecutive sellouts aren't just here in Colorado. Last year, Pretty Lights sold out sixty dates across the country, making it one of the most successful and sought-after independent acts out there right now. Smith, who just released another EP, Making Up a Changing Mind, is slated to issue two more by the end of the year. And this summer, accompanied by drummer Cory Eberhard, he'll bring his banging live show to Red Rocks. Trust us: This one's worth paying for.

Approval Sought for Numerous Contracts at December EPC Meeting
Posted: 12/05/2013
DES MOINES — Contracts for watershed projects, Iowa Learning Farms and solid waste programs are up for the Iowa Environmental Protection Commission's approval at the Dec. 17 meeting in Windsor Heights at the DNR Air Quality Building at 7900 Hickman Road.
A contract with the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship (IDALS) for Big Creek Lake Watershed Project II requests resources to complete Phase 1 of the Big Creek Lake Watershed Management Plan for bacteria reduction and aggressively address sediment and phosphorus loading to the lake in Project II. Funding will come from federal Section 319 grant dollars for nonpoint source pollution reduction. Implementation of best management practices are expected to reduce bacteria impairment and reduce sediment phosphorous loading by 30 percent.
Approval is also sought for a nine-month contract with the Rathbun Water Alliance to develop a nine-element interim watershed management plan. This will serve as a strategy for addressing non-point source pollution in the Rathbun watershed from 2014 to 2020. The interim plan will organize updated assessments and identify and prioritize agricultural nonpoint sources of water quality impairments in the watershed until the Rathbun Lake total maximum daily load project is completed and approved in 2018.
In other action, commissioners will be asked to approve a one-year contract with IDALS-DSC for Iowa Learning Farms to continue to educate people about soil and water quality improvement, manure and fertilizer nutrient management and general conservation information.
Additionally, the commission will be asked to approve Solid Waste Environmental Management Systems' Grant Award recommendations. Eight applicants were selected to receive amounts above $25,000 and the DNR is required to obtain the EPC's approval before entering into contracts with the awardees.
The meeting will begin at 10 a.m. Public comments are scheduled for 10:30 a.m.

Henley is a one-hour train ride from Paddington Station. The drive from London takes 45 minutes, but it's best to avoid Regatta Week traffic.
The Red Lion Hotel (Hart St.; 44-1491/572-161; doubles from $230) is the most popular place in town but is booked years in advance. Danesfield House Hotel & Spa (Henley Rd., Marlow-on-Thames; 44-1628/891-010; doubles from $360), a terrific alternative, sits on 65 acres three miles away.
The bold cooking of London has not arrived at Henley, but Loch Fyne (Market Place; 44-1491/845-780; dinner for two $80) offers smoked wild salmon and good fish. Zizzi (Hart St.; 44-1491/410-070; dinner for two $80) is more Italian than British. The busy Angel on the Bridge (Thameside; 44-1491/410-678; dinner for two $65), just inches from the river, won't have any seats available. The pub food at the far less crowded Bull Inn (Bell St.; 44-1491/574-821; dinner for two $65) is quite excellent.

Latitude 2009
Overheard Conversations Part 2
Once again, we've been ear-wigging for words of wisdom from Latitude's great unwashed...
1. "I'm not paying that much for cod. It's hardly an endangered species."
2. "Yeah, everyone's happy now, but sooner or later it's going to go all Lord Of The Flies. Mark my words."
3. "I'm less pissed than I was last night, because I can remember this."
4. Heard over a security walkie-talkie: "Child Control to the Poetry Arena!"
5. "Don't squeeze that, it's my mother's."
6. "How many times do I have to tell you? Starsky was the other one."
7. "Asylum seekers are an important part of the local eco-system."
8. "Check my mouth. Do I still look like I've been eating poo?"
9. "What kind of parent takes a toddler to a Marcus Garvey reading?"
10. Man walking away from the cabaret tent: "I'd rather be at a Michael Barrymore pool party."

New record just a matter of time
By KLINT SPILLER
Junior striker Taylor Herman has had her gaze locked on Hays High School's single-season scoring record since the beginning of the season, and judging by her pace, it won't be long until she has it.
It could be as soon as today. The Indians play at 4 p.m. at Garden City -- a team she scored twice against on April 16 in Hays.
Herman leads the Indian girls' soccer team with 12 goals this season, and she needs just two goals to tie Jessie Steffen's regular season scoring record set in 2009.
"I've been thinking about it all year," Herman said. "It's definitely been a goal of mine since the beginning."
Steffen set the record during her junior season when Herman was an eighth grader, and Herman, now also a junior, has the opportunity to break it with four regular season games remaining plus the post-season.
"Taylor just has a nose for the ball," said Hays High coach Chris Michaelis. "She does a really good job of getting in position and being able to finish."
Hays High senior forward Shannon Shubert said the team is aware of Herman's proximity to the record and said the team wants to help her get it.
"Taylor is an amazing soccer player," Shubert said.
Herman's statistical success seems to have come from nowhere after scoring just one goal as a freshman and four goals as a sophomore.
Part of it has to be because of her maturation as a player.
"She's started every game since she was a freshman," Michaelis said. "Her knowledge of the game has really picked up, and I think that has been her biggest asset."
However, Herman credited her team's development, as last season's team was mostly powered by underclassmen.
"There were more freshmen last year, but I practiced with them a lot more this year so I feel more comfortable around them now," Herman said.
She said she wouldn't be where she is now if it weren't for her team.
"It's not just all me. It's definitely my team," she said.
She might be even closer to the record if she wasn't so charitable with the ball.
After getting an assist against Thomas More Prep-Marian on Thursday at FHSU Stadium, Herman now is tied with junior April Johnson for the team lead in assists with three.
Michaelis said Herman's success boils down to her competitive nature, which has helped Hays High go 9-3 and 5-1 in Western Athletics Conference play so far this season.
"What she brings to our team and brings out of the other girls is her competitiveness," Michaelis said.
"In practice, she hates to lose, even in a one-on-one battle."
Herman has been on a tear recently, scoring seven goals in the past four games. If she continues scoring at even half of that pace, the record will be hers before the playoffs.

A meningioma is a tumor of the protective lining of the brain and spinal cord. This lining is called the meninges. Most meningiomas are benign (noncancerous), though some may be malignant (cancerous). Benign meningiomas are generally slow growing. This type of tumor may not cause problems. But, if the meningioma grows, it can compress important parts of the brain or cause symptoms (eg, vision problems, seizures).
Malignant meningiomas (also called aggressive or anaplastic) are less common. These tumors are faster growing. They often cause problems and can cause some swelling in the brain. Often both benign and malignant meningiomas require some form of therapy, surgery, and/or radiotherapy depending upon location.

noun \ˈtōl-ˌtek, ˈtäl-\Definition of TOLTEC
Origin of TOLTEC
Rhymes with TOLTEC
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Nahuatl-speaking people who held sway over what is now central Mexico from the 10th to the 12th century. Whether their urban centre was Tula or Teotihuacán is a matter of dispute. In the 10th century they formed a number of small states of various ethnic origins into an empire. They introduced the cult of Quetzalcóatl, and other Toltec religious and military influences spread through the Yucatán region and were absorbed by the Maya. They were noted as builders and craftsmen; artifacts include fine metalwork, gigantic statues, and carved human and animal standard-bearers. They were succeeded by the Aztec.

Reporting Big Games
We are delighted to recognize especially good club games in the Bridge Bulletin. Send notification to firstname.lastname@example.com. Our criteria for running big gamers' names are:
- The players score 75% or higher in a club matchpoint game.
- It's an open, non-restricted club game. (For example, Intermediate/Newcomer games restricted by masterpoints or country club games restricted by membership do not qualify. Nor do cruise games. Nor do sectional or regional games.)
- The game consists of at least five tables with at least 20 boards in play.
- Both players are members of the ACBL in good standing who are current on their membership dues/service fees.
- A game recap accompanies the report — either via an email file or an online link to where the results are posted.

Welcoming First Time Visitors
Take a tip from the Kennebunk DBC, known as the friendliest club around.
The Kennebunk DBC has a regular routine for assuring that newcomers leave knowing that it's the friendliest club in town:
- The club manager welcomes all new players and asks them to call her if there's any sort of problem.
- She introduces them to the players and gives them name badges.
- The regular players are asked to introduce themselves each round and to make the visitors feel welcome.
- And, the club manager checks back with them at the end of the game to make certain they had a good time and to extend an invitation to come again.
Sounds like a winning formula!
Returning new players
The key to making a new player want to play often is finding a way to make them comfortable at your club. Knowledge is power – as they say. When a new player returns for a second time, try giving out a newcomer welcome package to help get them excited about your club.
Create a New Player welcome packet
Include the following information:
- A welcome letter from the club owner or director.
- Unit calendar of events; club calendar of events.
- An upcoming tournament flier.
- A free play.
- An invitation to a welcome party (try a special bridge game and luncheon monthly or quarterly).
- Flier on an upcoming NABC.
- ACBL duplicate instant score.
- Pamphlets on bidding, defense or bridge etiquette (see Baron Barclay)
- Information on your mentor program.
- List of players at your club (or club or unit directory).
- A booklet on the basics of duplicate bridge (try the Welcome to Duplicate pamphlet or a copy of Adventures in Duplicate, which is a good intro to the ACBL and bridge).
- Bios of the directors and teachers working at the club, so new people know something about the people behind the scenes.

Colorado Springs, Colo. (Jan. 27, 2010) – Hall of Fame golfer Annika Sorenstam has been named the honorary chair for the 2011 U.S. Women's Open, to be conducted at The Broadmoor, July 4-10. The Broadmoor was the site of Sorenstam's first U.S. Women's Open victory in front of a record-setting crowd in 1995.
"I am extremely honored to be able to serve in this role with the USGA," said Sorenstam. "The U.S. Women's Open is our premier championship and when I won at the Broadmoor in 1995, it was my first professional victory in the United States. Both the championship and the venue will always hold aspecial place in my heart and I look forward to going back."
As honorary chair, Sorenstam will help promote the championship and appear at the ticket launch press conference in 2010. She will also host an exhibition during the week of the championship in which she will provide tips and demonstrate golf shots for spectators.
"We approached Annika to serve in this capacity because we wanted to honor her accomplishments at past USGA championships and her connection to the 1995 U.S. Women's Open at The Broadmoor," said Stephen Bartolin, Jr., president and CEO of The Broadmoor.
During her 15-year Hall of Fame career, Sorenstam rewrote the LPGA and Ladies European Tour record books, won countless awards, and changed the way women's golf was played, viewed and covered. She has 89 worldwide victories, including 72 on the LPGA, 10 of which are major championships, including the 1995, 1996, and 2006 US Women's Open titles. She earned a record eight Rolex LPGA Player-of-the-Year awards; a record-tying eight money list titles; six Vare Trophies for the lowest scoring average; was named Golf Writers Association of America Female Player of the Year eight times and became the first player in LPGA history to cross the $22-million mark in earnings. She played on eight Solheim Cup teams and was inducted into the LPGA and World Golf Halls of Fame in 2003.
Sorenstam stepped away from professional golf after the 2008 season to focus on her family and the ANNIKA brand of businesses. These include the ANNIKA Academy, ANNIKA Financial Group, ANNIKA Course Design which currently has eight projects worldwide, the ANNIKA Collection of apparel with Cutter & Buck, signature high-end wines with Wente Vineyards, a fragrance with SA Fragrances, and an online retail shop, shopannika.com. In 2007 Sorenstam started the ANNIKA Foundation as a way to teach children the importance of living a healthy, active lifestyle through fitness and nutrition, and offer aspiring junior golfers opportunities to pursue their dreams. In 2008,Sorenstam was named an Ambassador of the United States Golf Association, and in 2009, she was named a Global Ambassador by the International Golf Federation. In this role, Sorenstam supported the successful efforts to have golf added to the 2016 Olympic Games.

Prandin Helps Smooth Glucose Swings
A series of new studies has shown that Prandin (repaglinide), a new oral antidiabetic drug, is effective in providing 24-hour control of blood glucose levels in people with type 2 diabetes. Prandin stimulates beta cells within the pancreas to produce insulin and is taken just before each meal, when insulin is needed. The drug reduces risk of hyperinsulinemia (excess insulin) or severe hypoglycemia (low glucose levels) by allowing insulin levels to return toward baseline between meals and at night.
Prandin was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in December 1997 and is marketed by Novo Nordisk.

Game Pumpkin Goodness Doesn'T Stop at Zelda
Fred Fisher isn't the only game-loving pumpkin carver out there that's handy with an x-acto knife. Over on Deviant Art, user "ceemdee" posted a veritable cornucopia of video game art carved into pumpkins on her DA gallery.
I kid you not when I say "cornucopia" – there are video game pumpkins a-plenty, and they range from the contemporary to the classic, including Earthworm Jim, Shadow of the Colossus, Plants vs. Zombies, and Fallout's "Vault Boy."
As with Fisher's Zelda pumpkins, ceemdee's pumpkin art rocks some serious intricacy and detail. When asked about her carving process, ceemdee told Kotaku in an email:
"Mainly I've used an x-acto knife and three tiny screwdrivers to do most of the carving. I used some wood carving tools to scrap out the bigger areas on a few of the pumpkins and a needle is used to trace the image. They were all carved in the last four weeks. It's actually only four pumpkins (one a week) with three carvings on each. : )"

I was on the way to work, heading West on I-40 as usual when I was just about to exit a motorcycle passed me. On the bike was a fellow whose shirt had blown up his back and his Glock was out in the open on his right hip in some kind of Kydex holster.
I gave him a thumbs up which he returned and I exited the freeway. Just an interesting way to start what turned out to be a really crappy day at work.

Despite Galileo's late fourth-quarter surge, the Tam High football team took care of business on its home turf to beat the Lions 48-36 on Saturday in both teams' season opener.
"I just want to thank my offensive line," said senior running back Aseal Birir, who rushed for 258 yards and six touchdowns. "If you see those holes they were huge even a truck can run through them."
According to Tam coach Jon Black, Birir's six touchdowns is likely a school record.
The Red-tailed Hawks dominated early taking a 22-0 lead relying on the legs of Birir, who rushed for three touchdowns in the first quarter.
"We came in here trying to stop the run but we couldn't wrap up the big guy," Galileo coach Mark Huynh said. "I mean six touchdowns and over 300 yards that's a heck of a running back."
Huynh's yardage estimation on Birir was a bit off, but Birir's offensive surge did not stop Galileo (0-1) from making it interesting down the stretch.
The Lions fought back by scoring 22 points in the fourth quarter from the stellar quarterback play of Kyle Nelson, who threw two late touchdowns to cut the Hawks' lead to 34-29.
But Nelson wasn't the only quarterback with a hot hand. Patrick Shore connected on a screen pass to Marcus Viscardi for a 5-yard touchdown pass to give the Hawks a 41-29 lead.
Birir wasn't finished. He scored his sixth touchdown on the day on a 50-yard run to give Tam (1-0) some breathing room.
"We had a bet that if he had three touchdowns in a game I would give him my locker, but I guess I have to give him two lockers," Tam coach Jon Black said.

Practising science: Reading the rocks and ecology
Have you ever wondered how scientists analyse the environment? This unit introduces you...
Have you ever wondered how scientists analyse the environment? This unit introduces you to the techniques used by science students at residential schools. You will learn how to determine where rocks have come from and how they were made. You will also examine the processes involved in determining the ecology of a particular area.
By the end of this unit you should be able to:
- explain the difference between a mineral and a rock;
- describe the textural differences between igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks;
- account for these differences in terms of the processes that produce these rocks;
- classify igneous rocks according to their grain size and mineralogical composition;
- recognise the difference between a body fossil and a trace fossil;
- sketch a rock exposure and identify faults, folds and joints;
- suggest a sequence of geological events that can best explain the features observed in a rock exposure;
- relate processes of the rock cycle to a plate tectonic setting;
- describe the causes of sea-level changes and evidence for these changes;
- understand how to use a hand lens;
- define ecology;
- explain some of the reasons why the study of ecology is important;
- describe some of the ways in which soil pH influences the distribution of organisms;
- describe some of the seaweeds and some animals zonation on rocky shores;
- describe in general terms how transects, quadrats, point quadrants and time counts can be used objectively to collect quantitative data about field sites.

1.1 About this unit
Science is all about knowledge, what we know about the material world and the Universe in which our world is just a microscopic speck. The aim of scientists is to extend the frontiers of this knowledge so that we can understand more about the physical Universe and the life within it.
Scientists acquire knowledge by engaging in four fundamentally important and connected tasks. The first is observation: they observe the natural world and the space beyond it, and both describe and record what they see. Second, they construct hypotheses to explain what they see. Third, they carry out experiments where possible to test their hypotheses. Finally they communicate their findings – to other scientists who will build on this work to extend knowledge still further, to technologists who will devise practical applications for scientific knowledge, and to the general public to raise awareness of scientific discovery. The way in which science is communicated to interested parties is especially important because scientific knowledge is useless if no one else can understand it.
This unit introduces some of the background needed for students taking part in the earth science and ecology activities which often take place at science residential schools. At such schools, students normally undertake laboratory and field based activities in earth science, biology, physics and chemistry.
In August 2006 Radio 4 Material World broadcast three programmes from Open University Residential Schools, including SXR103 Practising Science. To listen to the programme go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/science/thematerialworld_20060810.shtml.

The iPhone 4 which was introduced in 2010 has been one of Apple's best selling products in India ever since its launch.
Its all glass and aluminum body, the wonderful user interface and the APPLE logo gave it a distinct edge over all its formidable rivals three years back and made it an instant hit among all Apple lovers. The surprising thing is that it continues to be a huge hit with buyers of all age groups and diverse backgrounds even today.
There are thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of people who would not mind buying an outdated version of this product simply to be able to flaunt the Apple logo.
The iPhone 4 does not sell in the US anymore though it continues to do good business in the various stores across India.
One of the reasons for that being that the price of the handset is very competitive. After having been cut down a number of times (each time a newer model was launched), it sells for about Rs 22000 in the Indian market. Which is a very good price, even by Indian standards.
Considering that three years is a long long time in the rapidly evolving cell phone market, the fact that iPhone 4 continues to be an object of desire and a hot selling item even after all those years is certainly a feat that Apple Inc. would like to be proud of.
One of the reasons the older models of iPhones continue to sell even after the launch of newer ones is that Apple is quick to offer software updates to its existing users, thereby allowing them to upgrade to the latest iOS easily and without any hitches.
This gives the loyal iPhone users the satisfaction and pleasure of being able to use the latest software rolled out by the company on their older handsets.
Apple was quick to offer its users the option to upgrade to iOS7 after the recent launch of Apple iPhone 5s.
There have been mixed reactions about this upgrading to iOS 7. While there are some whom can't seem to stop raving over the ability to use the latest software on their three year old handheld device, there are others who are regretting having done so.
Though it is technically possible to run iOS 7 on an iPhone 4, 4s and 5, does this 'upgrade' actually help make your device better?
Think twice before upgrading to the newer software. Especially because you will not have the option to revert to the older one if you don't quite like it.
We bring to you the good reviews as well as the bad ones directly from people who carried out this upgrade.

Upgrading iPhone 4 to iOS 7- Bad Reviews
One of my friends who is a tech blogger has been regretting his decision to upgrade. He installed iOS 7 on his elder brother's iPhone 4 soon after the option became available. And says that he immediately repented having done so. The upgrade made the device much slower. So did the animations. He also complains of a noticeable lag while scrolling through previously installed apps.
I also read about the reactions of a leading stock broker over Twitter. This broker who has been a diehard Apple fan over all the years says that an iPhone 4 also compares to a mid-ranged Android phone after the upgrade. Besides the lag, some of the apps on his iPhone have crashed. Nor can his six year old daughter continue to enjoy playing Temple run on his device anymore because it invariably crashes every time he decides to try fixing it up for her.
Some of the most common 'charges' leveled against this upgrade are:
· Slowing down the entire system
· Problems with the battery life
· Loading time almost doubles after the upgrade
· Lag while scrolling through apps
· Slower multi tasking, particularly a lag between switching between apps
· Crashing of several apps
· A lag while typing messages. The letters begin to appear on the screen while typing both WhatsApp messages and text messages with a noticeable lag.
Experts have begun to believe that the three year old phone probably lacks the hardware to support a modern operating system like the iOS 7.
The main issue being the RAM. iPhone 4 which runs on 512 MB RAM is just not good enough to handle multi tasking which have been introduced in iOS 7.
All the same, there have been people who are, by and large, satisfied after having done so.

Upgrading iPhone 4 to iOS 7- Good Reviews
Inspite of some accusations being leveled against the possibility of this upgrade, not everyone is disgruntled with the performance of his phone after moving on to iOS 7.
Most iPhone lovers who have opted to upgrade hold that the device continues to be usable inspite of a slowed down performance.
And though the lags are noticeable, the device does not hang.
While there are some who have been ecstatic over the possibility run their older cell phone on the latest iOS, there are others whose reactions have been subdued.
Should You Upgrade iPhone4 to iOS 7?
After having carefully weighed both the pros and cons of upgrading an iPhone4 to iOS 7, the question is whether it is indeed a good idea to go in for the newer version of the software on an older device or not?
Well, I would say – It depends.
It would depend upon what you value more- the performance and speed or the features?
If you value performance above everything else, it would be a safer proposition to stick to iOS4, 5 or 6.
But if there are features like the Control Center which you find drool worthy and don't mind compromising with some speed to be able to get them, getting the iOS 7 would sound like the ultimate thing.
At the same time, if you don't own an iPhone 4 already and are thinking of buying it simply because of its very affordable prices and the possibility of running it on the latest iOS 7 after getting it at a fraction of the cost of the latest iPhone in the market, I would strongly deter you from trying that out.
It would be a much better idea to save aside a few more nickels and get a newer version of the iPhone than spending on an iPhone 4 which is now an obsolete set by any standards.
Given a choice, I wouldn't even spend on the later iPhone 4s for that matter.
If you have upgraded already, you can enhance the performance of your older iPhone
If you own one already and can't get rid of it before the expiry of your contract, you don't really have an option. But why go in for a technology which has since been replaced by much better versions?
All a matter of individual tastes, preferences and requirements.
Have you upgraded your iPhone 4 to iOS7?

Resigning would have to be done regardless of what we sign in Git. Not sure if you followed more recent discussions than one in 2006. The entire Git foodchain will suffer when it comes time to migrate away from SHA-2.

I am a recent home purchaser and just received some troubling news from a neighbor. Apparently when the house we bought was built, the garage was built "about a foot shorter than standard". I have been searching for a code standard on garage dimensions, but so far have been unable to find. The city we live in uses the "International Building Code" as their adopted code. Does anyone know where I can find what the minimum size of a 2-car garage would be? I plan on contacting our realtor tomorrow to start what I think is going to be a very long process due to the non-disclosure by the seller. The depth of the garage is 15'7" from the step up to the house to the garage door, which is deep enough to park our small jeep, but not deep enough for my Grand Cherokee. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
As far as I know there is no "code standard". Our present garage is 20' deep, a previous one was 24' deep and still too small for a car that we had at that time. The standard that the neighbor is talking about could be what most of the homes in the area are built to. |

kolsenttu, I doubt you are going to find anything in a national code. Sizes of structures are generally governed by local (city , deed restrictions, HOA , etc.) standards of aesthetics. For instance some HOA CCR's set standards for garage sizes to size of the home, usually to prevent people building monster garage homes, not small garages. Unless the seller represented the garage as a different size then it is, or they built it without a permit, I think you are wasting your money pursuing this. My wife has been a realtor for over 10 years and the only time she has seen buyers succeed against a seller is where there was overt deception (ie hiding the facts from discovery by the buyer) on the part of a seller or they unequivocally misrepresented the condition in the sellers disclosure. You certainly could have measured the garage before you bought the home and if the home was sold "as-is", your case gets even weaker. |

I bet you could find that information from your cities web site. I looked up that type of info on my own in milwaukee and they gave very specific info about codes and regulations. They also had phone numbers for various offices that could answer those types of questions. |
I think 15'7" is way too short to be useful. Mine is 19'6" and I think it's way too small. Look at it this way- many cars are in the range of 180-190" long which is 15' to 16' long. This would mean you would be absolutely jammed in touching bumper to bumper and could not exit the vehicle on the far side or you couldn't enter the house! And this is not accounting for longer vehicles like some of the larger SUVs. You really should have at least 2 feet of clearance in the front and rear which takes you to my size garage. Some of the reasons to have a larger garage: storage of items around the garage interior perimeter, a possible workbench, lawn equipment, shelving, space to work on vehicles if you are so inclined, etc. As a car buff, I have plans for a garage that is something like 30' x 30' so I have room for jacking the car up and maneuvering. A garage can never be too large, only too small. All this being said, I wish you good luck. I don't know what to expect - without knowing the house/garage design, it may either be easy or impossible to enlarge it. Another approach is a settlment from the builder. It would probably be easiest to build another garage and use what you have for a shed and storage. Tom |

Would the attached garage make a good library or den with a pool table? That's what my dad did after he built a 30 x 34 foot free standing garage. Looking at plan books, most attached garages seem to be 22 x 22. |
I feel for ya having recently gone through the same thing. The problem are these builders will cut corners any way they can and an extra foot or two of cement is one way they do it. In my case they also never finished enclosing the thing and that is what I have been doing for the past 6 months. Frustrating, but I have learned A LOT! Got my door on Friday and for my truck to fit I have to almost touch the bumper to the back wall and then remove the trailer hitch. It then barely fits but at least it fits. If I were you I would check into extending the length-costly or building stand alone. Or at least for now, build a side overhanging roof..you will just need 3 posts instead of the normal 2. That can be done pretty cheap and will give some protection. |

Ok, so last night I went to the gun store and put 50% deposit on a new Glock 36 .45 because I always wanted to own a .45 without having to spend $1000+. Now as I sit having my morning coffee I am having second thoughts. I wonder If I should have paid more attention to the Kahr Arms slim .45 even though it was $50 more than the Glock. Can I get some advice on this? I haven't added it to my permit yet and I still have the balance to pay off so the switcharoo won't be a problem.
How do Kahr guns stack up against Glocks? I know that the warranty is better but I am more interested in real-world reliability and function. I don't want a double stack magazine because I have small hands. My EDC is a Walther PPS 9MM so I would like to keep the profile as close to that as possible. What are your thoughts? Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Posted March 21st, 2011 by AnonymousWeekly Academic Success Tip - Think About Your Review Process in Preparation for Finals
Posted March 18th, 2011 by Kimberly K. BallardSome of you have been studying for exams all semester by staying on top of your course reading, adding to your outlines each week, and conscientiously learning new material while reviewing past material. This ongoing process is the key to the highest grades because deeper understanding and long-term memory result.
As you study for exams, consider the four kinds of review that you should include in your study plans. If you incorporate all four types, you are more likely to master your courses and garner better grades.
- Intense Learning. First, you need to learn intensely each topic. This type of study has deep understanding as its goal. It may take several study sessions to reach this level of learning for a long topic that was covered over multiple class sessions. Intense learning may need to include additional reading in study aids or time asking the professor questions in order to clear up all confusion and master the material. In addition to learning this one part of the course, the student should consider how it relates to the course as a whole.
- Fresh Review. Second, you should strive to keep fresh everything in the course. This type of study is focused on reading your outline cover to cover at least once a week. It makes sure that the law student never gets so far away from a topic that it gets "foggy." Students forget 80% of what they learn within two weeks if they do not review regularly. After intensely learning a topic, it would be a shame to forget it. Constant review reinforces long-term memory and provides for quicker recall when the material is needed.
- Memory Drills. Third, you should spend time on basic memory drills. This type of study helps a student remember the precise rule, the definition of an element, or the steps of analysis. For most students, these drills will be done with homemade flashcards. Some students will write out rules multiple times. Other students will develop mnemonics. Still others may have visual reminders. The grunt work of memory can be tedious. However, if you do not know the law well, you will not do well on the exam.
- Practice Questions. Fourth, you must complete as many practice questions as possible. This step has several advantages. It monitors whether you really understand the law. It tests whether you can apply the law to new fact scenarios. It allows you to practice test-taking strategies. And it monitors whether you need to repeat intense learning on a topic or sub-topic because errors on the questions indicate that it was obviously not learned to the level needed.
Ideally, you should set aside blocks of study time to accomplish each of these reviews every week for every course. The proportion of time for each course will depend on the amount of material covered, the difficulty of the course, and the type of exam.

Well, this is obvious. It's an original early Ferrari, and it is excruciatingly desireable, lets break it down. Here's the spec: 210 bhp, 2,715 cc SOHC V-12 engine with triple Weber 36 DCF downdraft carburetors, five-speed manual gearbox, independent double wishbones with a transverse leaf spring front suspension, rigid axle with semi-elliptic leaf spring rear suspension, and hydraulic drum brakes.
This has the near mythical lightweight frame called the tuboscocca. It's special chassis with double outer-tubes joined together with a truss-like arrangement. Not only did this serve to strengthen the platform, it helped form a skeleton of the body shape on which body panels could be mounted. This saved weight with no compromise to structural rigidity and contributed greatly to the now-legendary racing success of the model.
It has that amazing handwrought body by Vignale, and this model comes complete with that supercool hand-made badge. And just look at that hide interior with the spare Wire strapped snuggly. You can almost smell the classicness of it all!
