Actually what we commented above is that there where at least 2 updates since the version you installed. And yes, I can say " it seems to have the best performance of all Gingerbread roms I have tested."I meant that this shouldnt be the last version^^

I think you should explain other devs what you did with the battery duration. I disconnected my skate from the charger yesterday, 18 hours ago and still have 78% of battery left. (wifi turned off). Amazing.There is a difference between old versions and Pro and Pro C. The newer versions are much better. Newer versions works better.

Ok, sorry, but the battery drain is amazingly low really, even without underclocking the minimum cpu speed. I have tested Skatie long time ago and also installed many of the other roms existing on the forum, but I never had such a long lasting battery. My favorite for a long time was H3Blues, which I lately used with Nitroglass and ADW launcher and I was very happy with that configuration. But Inovative Creations is much faster and the battery lasts much longer, so there must be other tweaks and modifications, which maybe could be implemented in other roms to speed them up. (As I write this, my battery is still 76%, so it dropped 2%since my last post.)I'm not developer of this ROM, i'm just a satisfied user.

I decided to write a brief and explain what was done to Inovative update just to let all know the truth and to avoid further controversy without any meaning ...
There is really jealous people and some of them here really not know how to hide it
Make new Topic and talk about it as you wish, just stop to do it here...
First, you really need to know that any work on Android means losing a lot of time and I really think that we should like to thank everyone who has anything done or changed because it is automatically a lot of wasted time ...
Everything that was done on Inovative Cerations Android I primarily worked for myself and later I decided to send it to everyone.
I used my years of experience in programming and general computer work and work around Andriod for me was new and all the time I've learned along the way.
As you know Inovative Creations is update of Skatie Custom ROM and of course it's a lot retained, because this is the only update, but a lot has been changed too.
I see that some here think they are just 2-3 files have changed, but I'll explain everything to you so that everyone knows.
Honestly I am sad cause some of them here didn't ask me what was really done here, instead that they found the courage to write that actually I did nothing ...
Truths that primarily need to know is that the phone can not work faster than it is defined with CPU CLOCK and other components defined.
Then, The Gingerbread ROM is quite limited and it is not possible so easily to change some things (eg WiFi Scan interval is impossible to change in the Build.prop and it works automatically in 5 sec) --- I saw a lot of the ROM's here that in the Build.prop file used functions that do not work on GB ROM's ... I guess they did not know that, when they wrote it...---
Battery life can not be changed because it has its own capacity and do as much as it can. (you can only change the way you used it)
Android automatically turns ON a bunch of background applications until it fills most of the RAM memory and keep them as active to make them fast turned ... but with that phone is very slow ...
OTA updates is impossible to implement in the Inovative ROM because when you make any change on ROM, it has to be formatted, cause there is Nitroglass , and if it is not formatted the system will snap, hate me earlier to explain that ... but let everyone knows.
So who write to any of the above that it may, probably do not know or they're lying ... that's the facts...
What is the truth?
Programmers here mostly make their personal scripts and throwing various new menus and sub-menus and aesthetically make it beautify but unfortunately in many cases that slow down the phone. More precisely just crammed data without thinking of what really should and what should not.
I'll give you an example of how the phone was cluttered with unnecessary things with Skatie Custom ROM and I wiped 29 applications that are unnecessary for me and insert just 6-7 new. I deleted a bunch of unnecessary notifications, Ringtones, alarms, a few scripts... You can see in the file updater-script how much things are thrown out... The only thing that was done to speed is making of various Governors - but if you set a higher voltage and CPU clock, reduces the shorter length of the battery ... that means it is necessary to find an optimum ...
So our phone is limited to their performance and if you overfill it over his limit of normal working he will start to work slower and chops ... This is precisely the problem with most ROM's here. So it is impossible to accelerate ... Can operate only at a speed that enabled him processor and with other components ...
I was wondering what can be done that just this phone works nicely???
And I quickly figured out that he needs everything to simplify all the functions that are less demanding and then it will start working better because it will not be cluttered with operations and functions.
Now ... How is this achieved?
There are many ways, but I realized that you need to think conversely, instead of attempt to accelerate, we should throw out all unnecessary ...
That means that if I can not do anything to speed it up, then I can to simplify everything and put all process in a minimal level and make it works well ...
The first thing I did not like it is that the animation works very bad and had to do something to get all worked very good.
The first thing I did was that I unpacked each application separately, and optimize them. Optimizing is the process for Java Optimizer and in the process it needs to extract every system application ant it reduce apps size on minimum (reduced by Images in it) and then you need to pack it again. Later using of system it calls less and less image and files and therefore does everything fast. An images does not lose quality ...
Also I changed two pivotal files for the operation of Android namely UISystem.apk and Framework-res.apk ... Everything is defined through them in the menus of Android. Images of them I have drastically reduced and changed to all Images are in PNG format exclusively.
Even the wallpaper in PNG format ... and when the system continually calls less demanding files automatically work faster ... Why?
The answer is in the PNG format ... It is rarely that someone knows the answer ...
PNG format is ideal format for creating animation across it, is larger than the other but it is made that it calls very fast, much faster than JPG or GIF.
PNG is a low quality format but images look as High Quality (no loss of quality) ... PNG supports transparent layers that does not take standard BIT channels and lower quality images look much better ... It means that Animation through them is much better than over the JPG or GIF or BMP format and is also less demanding for the processor ... That is the key to fast and fluent animation ...
So in drawer menu of Launcher you have icons flying over the wallpaper and when you set it in PNG format it automatically works much better.
So first I threw out all JPG images from Andorid including Wallpapers and put everything in PNG format. I think that nobody here knew that ...
The phone works to 8bit format and it seems that 16-bit thanks to PNG format ...
Then I throw out everything that is not necessary for Android and reduce the number of phone functions.
Inserted exclusively system applications that take up a minimum of RAM memory while their work ...
And that is the reason that phone can start less Apps which works in background and occupy RAM memory and can not fill the RAM up to a critical point.
ROM is more empty and has more operating memory ...
Now, one more very important thing ...
Animation is the process of displacement of a graphic object from point A to point B. This means that when something animated image is moved point by point and the larger image needs more demanding animation ... So resolution is "intentionally" reduced and consequently reduced icons, and thus reduced the number of points that can animate and therefore the animation is smoother.
Everything is very simple only when you understand everything and think and even it looks nicer ...
There was the problem that some applications that do not support changed DPI I had to rewrite or change them ...
So reducing the resolution it means that phone speed up the animations more ... I think that no one understood it why i changed resolution ...
I must confirm it that I did not write any script by myself and there is no need for that...but I rewrote existing a lot of time and that's why some were not able to see what was changed. For Example ADW Launcher was extracted and changed several times and it seems that no one knows it ... So many times I worked in existing applications...
There was turned of some background processes.
A battery itself will work longer when the processor is less demanding major functions, when there is less background processes, and when he has to do less computing operations ... And when you don't overclock CPU...I did that and the the animation works very good at 787 MHz so that the battery actually lives longer and the phone works much nicer.
Launcher is placed as active in memory to better work ...
All Images in all parts of the ROM are optimized with PNG transparent Layer and animation are therefore very fast and good.
Changed Ringtones, Notifications and alarms and put my owns. Also, I put a bunch of my Wallpapers in PNG format.
Also changed ugly sounds in camera and video recorder.
I have attached a script for defining Proximity sensor and quality Media profiles...
I put Nitroglass script of course and solved problem with small internal memory (all praise for Viento Del Sur)
In build.prop is added functions for many things which works...
All my work was for making better Android environment and I think I did it... It is very obviously how much phone works better.
Internal memory is more discharged because I wanted this to be a real Custom ROM and installing ROM by yourself, you can choose what to install and what you do not want.
Now there is about 35 MB free ROM Space and everything you need can install on Internal memory of 1GB.
During the installation it automatically makes a Folder named Inovative on your SD Card and there is all necessary applications and Inovative Wallpapers.
Turning on is much faster but it will be longer in case how many apps you'll install on phone. That means More apps, longer time of turning on...
Now I know that I forgot to mention some things what was done also, but it was important to explain how to achieve good Animation ...
ADW Launcher is a well made too and that it contributes to all this ... But there are several better and faster Launchers than ADW but I did not want anything to change because I use it and change it from beginning of this and no one can change my work telling that i violate MoDaCo Terms and Copyrights or promoting paid versions... here I am only promoting Update for Skatie Custom ROM... nothing more
So I think it's time to stop talking anything cause I explained it.
And I want to give recommendation for everyone to try it cause it really works very good.
I mean that your main focus is actually in the framework-res and SystemUI. You can tell because a lot of the other file hashes match up to C3C0's last update.I see that some here think they are just 2-3 files have changed
That's not true. It does work because I set the value too high before and then a users WiFi kept timing out to their router. I fixed the issue by reducing the scan interval a little. You can find the posts about that in my thread if you don't believe it.WiFi Scan interval is impossible to change in the Build.prop and it works automatically in 5 sec
You can't adjust the voltage on the ZTE Skate, only the governors. You support that via NS Tools, but I taken a different route and worked with C3C0 so that he included my governor (SmartassH3) into his kernel.if you set a higher voltage and CPU clock, reduces the shorter length of the battery ... that means it is necessary to find an optimum
Programmers here mostly make their personal scripts and throwing various new menus and sub-menus and aesthetically make it beautify but unfortunately in many cases that slow down the phone. More precisely just crammed data without thinking of what really should and what should not.
Yet you added applications that aren't essential, can delay bootup as they may want to start when you power on your phone and they can cause wake locks. So for example, why include No Lock, WhatsApp, Viber, Facebook, YouTube Downloader and Kingston Office? These are applications that a user might not want and they're freely avalible on the Play Store. And I know you have the option to remove these apps via Apps2ROM, but my point is that you shouldn't need to as these apps shouldn't be there in the first place.I'll give you an example of how the phone was cluttered with unnecessary things with Skatie Custom ROM
Where is the media profile? I know both myself and C3C0 had to add media profiles to get something to work when we hacked Dolby audio into the ROM, but I'm not seeing that in your zip.I have attached a script for defining Proximity sensor and quality Media profiles...

But then you still end up having to update the apps, otherwise the user will install the app and then the Play Store will automatically download the update so you don't save any time or data.you doesn't have these apps installed but you have a folder on your sd card where you have downloaded apps and you choose what you want to install (you must understand that for some people this is great thing because they don't have to download apps every time when install new ROM and spend a lot of time on that). You have the most used and updated apps on you folder and this is great thing.
Why? Because it's against the forum rules and I'm against warez. You're destroying Android by using it as devs make less money so they'll try on other platforms (iPhone) instead. You then end up with half assed buggy apps on Android. And unlike Ceco I'm trying to get into the development area and release paid for applications on the Play Store. So why would I be jealous? That's just plain stupid and you're the one acting defensive as you're the one trying to insult me ("i will be a grandpa when you finish him").Next, the thing that sticks out is you constant repetition that ADW is warez. So what? Is this your job? No. Sorry but this is reality
TLDR: I'm not trying to offend you. All I'm saying is that you should align your APK's and remove non-essential apps. Also wheres the media profile?
Theres no argument here. I've simply pointed out some things that themarkoface may want to consider, while also explaining why what he's doing at the moment may not have the full effect he's after.
he often seems to think I'm attacking him, when I'm actually giving what's known as constructive criticism in that I'm telling him what I thinks wrong, but I'm also telling him what I think he could do to improve on it.

Why would you update apps when they are updated to newer version?
You don't have or never used warez apps? Haha. Great.
Edited by omegavesko, 19 June 2013 - 09:40 PM.
If they don't have the internet then they wouldn't be able to use WhatsApp, Viber, Facebook or YouTube Downloader. So an out of date version which needs an update will only waste space, RAM and battery until they connected online.Why would you update apps when they are updated to newer version? And you forgot one key thing... maybe somebody doesn't have internet at that moment to download apps. If is that folder with apps worst thing, than great.
No, I mean why would I? Theres plenty of free solutions, many of which are open source and most of the paid for apps allow you to download a trial version. My secondary OS is even free (Linux Mint).You don't have or never used warez apps? Haha. Great.
My new ROM takes a while because I work on it mainly during the weekends, and not every weekend. I have a girlfriend and I spend a lot of time out and about, plus lately a lots gone on in my life.I'm not trying to insult you. I'm just said that you are saying about your ROM for a long time. That is not true?

Reading a forum can take minutes but working on what I'm doing with my new ROM can take hours. That plus I've been at work all day, so I don't want to come home and start working on more stuff.@Heros, Beside FB, Viber etc. you have a few apps that doesn't use internet. Ok, you don't have time, i understand that but if you less commenting and checking another ROM's and spend a more time on you ROM you will finish that job faster. And, yes, you never used pirated Windows, even to try? Or some OS, app...? I don't believe in that. If the answer is yes, than, my friend, you are ironic (you doesn't have to confess to us, you know the answer).
p.s. You talking about No Lock which is out few versions ago.

Good Amazon reviews.
I really wonder if 4K UHD is going to catch on. I still really want 3D, but that seems to be going away before I even get on board.
I know, it's kinda stupid, compare effects of UHD and 3D is comparing apples to horse apples... but anyways.
UHD actually brings more, in terms of picture quality and general image enjoyability, than 3D. At least, with current 3D technologies. All current 3D variants are tiresome and very quickly become annoyance instead of joy - with very few exceptions of top-quality, precision-made 3D sources, like "Avatar" the movie.
UHD, on the other hand, can work with any source. Of course, upscaling doesn't do much to standard resolution picture, but 720p source looks considerably better on 4K screen, and 1080p looks much better. Besides, with UHD your are virtually free from the screendoor effect so you can sit closer to the screen - and this brings better immersion, and immersion is the Holy Grail of a movie-watcher like me...

Tenoch | |
Depiction of Tenoch in the Codex Mendoza.
Died | 1375 |
Other names | Tenuch |
Religion | Aztec religion |
Parent(s) | unknown |
Tenoch (or Tenuch) was a ruler of the Mexicas (Aztecas) during the fourteenth century during the Aztec travels from Aztlán to Tenochtitlan.
Tenoch was a respected chief who was elected to power by the council of elders. Tenoch was born in 1325 AD. He died in 1375.
There is disagreement whether Tenoch is a mythological person, or a real Mexica leader who was later mythologized. Tenoch was one of nine Mexica leaders to whom were revealed how Mexica could gain support from the forces of nature. After traveling southward for a span of 200 years, the Mexica found the sign they were looking for. In honor of their leader, they named the small reedy island in Lake Texcoco, Tenochtitlan. Tenochtitlan soon became the capital of the Aztec empire.
The Nahuatl symbols of his name are found in the Mexican flag: Tetl, the rock, and Nochtli, the prickly pear cactus.

Our room was not available until after 15.00 hrs. Was shown to room 410. The size of a large single room but with a double bed. Rejected this room so stayed in larger room in half basement with no light. My new room 109 was next to a staff service entrance so not great at times. 109 was also under the bistro so as the breakfast room was being preped at 06.30 we could hear furniture being moved.

Everybody complains about high taxes, but in the lowerand mid-income groups, the effective tax rate is not very high. A person with a taxable income of Rs 40,000 a month will pay only 3.2% of his income in tax. Someone earning Rs 80,000 a month will pay 9.5%. This assumes that these taxpayers will invest at least 15% of their income in tax-saving options under Section 80C. Yet, many taxpayers believe they are paying too much tax. They could be right.

Before filing the tax forms, you need to deposit the balance tax due and interest, if any. This amount is based on your tax liability for the year, after taking into account advance tax paid and tax deducted at source. Of late, the scope of tax deduction at source has been...

Switching jobs? Find out how to overcome needless tax complications
October 13, 2014
By Shubham Agrawal It's not uncommon for a 20-something to have worked with three to four employers in as many years. However, in the excitement of sifting through jobs—be it for a higher salary, better prospects, fresh challenges or acquisition of new skills—most of them ignore their finances and end up suffering needless complications. The worst casualty of poor financial planning is taxation, which is a bugaboo avoided by most employees either due to...

Disclosing tax returns
April 28, 2006
The call for disclosure of corporate tax returns of listed companies is gaining a bit of a momentum in the United States (US). "Lawmakers should consider making corporate tax returns public to encourage businesses to follow tax laws", said IRS commissioner Mark Everson. "The problem stems from the 'tension' between two accounting systems, one financial and one tax", Everson added. Companies strive to increase book earnings and drive up the value of shares, but then try to lower taxable earnings to minimise...

I'm encountering weird behavior with embedded docs and I don't know if I do something wrong or is it a bug.
This is my model:
var mg = require('mongoose')
, S = mg.Schema;
var subject = new S({
name: String
, properties: [{
name: String
, value: String
module.exports = mg.model('Subject',subject);
When I try to add a property, it somehow gets converted into "[object Object]"
console.log(req.body); // --> { name: 'height', value: 120 }
console.log(typeof req.body); // --> object
ob.Subject.findByIdAndUpdate(req.params.id, {$push: {properties: req.body}}, function(err, doc) {
if(err) throw err;
The returned doc
{_id: '...', name: 'sss', properties:[ "[object Object]" ]}
I used mongo CLI to inspect the document in the database and put proper values in it.
//the document as seen in mongo CLI:
_id: '...', name: 'sss',
properties: [ "[object Object]", {name: "aaa", value: "bar"} ]
Then I tried this:
ob.Subject.findById(id, function(err, doc) {
And then the returned doc is:
_id: '...', name: 'sss',
properties:[ "[object Object]", "[object Object]" ]
I think that, what's happening is mongoose somehow converts the subdocument into this string. Moreover, I don't think that this is my, or res.send()
fault because:
- I'm not using
explicitly, I don't handle JSON conversion at all res.send()
is not an issue because even if Iutil.inspect
the value - it's the same- invalid conversion seems to happen both at write and read via mongoose
Have you ever encountered similar behavior? Is there a way around that?
I just started with mongoose and don't have an idea how to fallback to mongodb native to update and fetch documents and check if this behavior persists (I doubt).
Any helpful hints appreciated :)

"Jhola" depicts the Sati tradition in which Hindu women were forced to commit suicide on the funeral pyres of their spouses. While the system was legally abolished in 1920 in Nepal, communities still follow the practice, and murder of widows continues to this day. There is documentation of Sati being practiced as recently as 2008, and word of mouth indicates it may still be adhered to.

Union Activist Threatens Michigan Governor
Courtesy of the Weekly Standard, please check out the following union thuggery: Pro-Union Activist Threatens the Michigan Governor: 'We'll Be at Your Daughter's Soccer Game'
A speaker at a protest against Michigan's right-to-work legislation said that Republican governor Rick Snyder will "get no rest" from pro-union activists if Snyder signs the bill into law.
"Just know one thing, Rick Snyder: You sign that bill, you won't get no rest," said Rev. Charles Williams II at the Tuesday rally in Lansing, according to Michigan Capitol Confidential. "We'll meet you on Geddes Road. We'll be at your daughter's soccer game. We'll visit you at your church. We'll be at your office."
Following the threats by the Reverend Charles William II to the governor's daughter, state representatives Rick Hammmel and Tim Greimel pandered to the crowd, complaining about union "rights" to being taken away.
Greimnel called the bill the most "anti-middle-class agenda" the state has ever seen.
I propose this bill was one of the most favorable bills in support of the middle-class that Michigan has ever seen.
The truth of the matter is Collective Bargaining neither a Privilege nor a Right.
Five Ways Collective Bargaining Tramples Various Unalienable Rights
- Collective bargaining agreements force individuals into organizations against the free will of those members.
- Collective bargaining agreements take away the right of individuals to pursue a career of their dreams void of union affiliation.
- Collective bargaining agreements force union dues out of members who do not even want to belong.
- Collective bargaining agreements dictate what members can and cannot do with their free time.
- Collective bargaining agreements even dictate what non-members can and cannot do with their free time!
Union activists have things ass-backwards. Michigan has suffered mightily because of it. Detroit was destroyed by unions. Jobs fled the state. If that's not anti-middle-class, what is?
I commend the legislature for passing this pro-middle-class legislation that will reduce costs to cities throughout the state, putting more money into taxpayer pockets at the same time.
Public unions only exist via coercion, threats, and vote buying such as that displayed by Rev. Charles Williams II.
Public unions serve no purpose and even FDR agrees. For details, please see Public Union Protesters More Like Greek Extortionists than Egyptian Freedom Fighters; Unions Under Fire in Wisconsin, Ohio, Tennessee; Student Idiocy

Interestingly, not a single tech site has ever stated any issues with Samsung devices or memory. More interestingly though, any memory Samsung uses for their phones in China was originally made in China, and therefore it is China complaining about Chinese manufacturing errors at a Chinese owned plant (always a joint venture with Chinese partner owning at least 51%) run by Chinese managers and staffed by Chinese workers. Perhaps companies should be a bit more strict about their dealings with China, only investing when China lets them sell products fairly.
So are you trying to say that American products made by American companies by Americans and sold to Americans then in no way you can complain?
This is good. It is a common knowledge that many MNC are always slighting the Chinese consumers by selling to them the more inferior products or products that fail their own quality control. However now we can be thankful to the Chinese media and government who are taking care of their people. From now onwards, I hope the foreign companies to not look down and discriminate the Chinese consumers.
The Chinese people should be careful not to let the foreigners to provoke fights among the Chinese because that would give them the opportunity to suck our blood and trample our heads. Remember opium and remember UK and US.
"any memory Samsung uses for their phones in China was originally made in China, and therefore it is China complaining about Chinese manufacturing errors at a Chinese owned plant (always a joint venture with Chinese partner owning at 51%) run by Chinese managers and staffed by Chinese workers."
Are you saying that because the parts are made by "Chinese", therefore, Chinese consumers have to just suck it up? Well, just because Chev is made in the good old US of A by Americans, American consumers have to accept any consequences that comes with defects. So, Americans, suck it up.
@EngSciEtc ... what a strange comment and warped reasoning.
It is good that Chinese media is taking the role of monitoring or reporting all the misconducts by the major companies not only the foreign ones but also the domestic ones. The media here only report about how Chinese media watch foreign companies but the fact is, Chinese media is doing this for all companies that have something to expose to the public for all to know. I wish the media here is doing the same. The media here, most of them are owned or sponsored by American corporations so they are the mouth pieces for these corporations so they don't disclose any misconducts by these corporations to their customers. These is nothing to bash Chinese media. The media here should learn from Chinese media to serve the people and not corporations.
Chinese people have tendency of praise foreign products and look down its own products regardless of the quality of the products. I am glad that Chinese media (I don't care if they are state owned or what, it is not important). I wish the media here in the US would do the same. But they are not because they are owned by corporations so they cannot bash their owners.
While the phone was probably assembled in China, the defective memory chips are definitely not made in China. Samsung is the largest memory chip manufacturer and the defective memory chips probably came from them.
Of both China and Korea. They deserve each other
I just can't believe the tone of this article, I mean the bigotry and prejudice are so apparent. This journal is behaving very colonialist-like. I guess this and the other western journal are full of evil agenda and lacking in honesty. So after all when the Chinese government were warning about the rotten propaganda by the west........ it turns out to be all true.
Reminds me of CCP going after Apple for customer service issues, when Chinese firms don't even offer such a thing as 'Customer Service' inside their own country for consumers or abroad for that matter with their copycat iPhones!
Of course, one couldn't help but laugh when Xi's wife was spotted using an Apple iPhone 5 on trip to Mexico and USA. Then China complaining that people were getting electrocuted using Apple iPhone chargers, when it was proven that the iPhone chargers were cheap & shoddy Chinese made knockoffs of the real Apple iPhone charger!
And like Chinese SOE dairy producers, nobody ever heard about the Chinese going after their own killer industries for their continued baby formula woes, nor did we ever hear about China going after those responsible in China for making killer fake iPhone chargers either!
No wonder foreign hot money & foreign businesses are leaving China like H7N9 bird flu epidemic gone wild!
So clumsy, factually questionable and logically dubious. No serious reader thinks highly of the Chinese press.
The title of this report imply that those companies are unjustly singled out by CCTV, but the questions is "Does CCTV accusation has any validity?", If the answer is yes, then CCTV allegation can't be dismissed.
The Wall Street Journal should concentrate on the message and not on the messenger since it would be misleading!
Samsung creates world class products
cctv creates world class jokes
@sam, you are a fool.... just another ant working for 50 cent party ...watching CCTV is watching endless anti-foreigner drivel...and the Koreans are the same. Chinese cannot judge Koreans. One is as bad as the other
Wow. The US food stamping trolls are out in force. They don't know that without the Chinese loan, they would be eating mud everyday.
These American food stamp beggars are saying stupid things with their democratic dog_poo stucked in their mouths.
Life on food stamps is still a better quality of life that in China. The poor have apartments, cable TV, DVD players, ipods, laptops some even have cars. Wait! Now they have Obama care and they can breath the air. I can see why so many Chinese are still clambering to get into America.
Remember, food stamps plus food bank equals full stomachs. America, where being poor equals the life as a middle class person in China.
The food stamping Americans are waiting for the Social Security and Medicare to go bankrupt in a few more months and then they will start killing on the streets in order to get food, unlike now when they kill each other for fun. Obamacare? LOL! people can't even get to the website. These people are truly incompetent roaches. Some people like to go to the US like some people like to go to the prostitution houses.
Samsung creates world class products>
Yes, # 1 Joke of the world, for a company who dare not to take responsibility for themselves.
Aren't we missing the point here? The real question is how much domestic milk the Chinese should drink. I hope they consume much more than they did in 2008.
Who can take China seriously when their dream is to get out of China? They are locusts who need to be caged and seperated from the rest of us. People from Hong Kong are right, the Chinese are subhuman.
Jia you China Jia you!
China's defense budget is set to jump 10.1% to $141.5 billion in 2015, the 26th year of nominal double-digit increases since 1989. The problem: We don't know how it's being spent.
New rules on labor negotiations in southern China offer a potential solution to the country's growing problem with labor unrest while at the same time illustrating the difficulty the Communist Party faces in effectively addressing workers' grievances.
As Chinese society has grown more complex, the Communist Party's estimation of the annual Spring Festival TV gala as a means of communicating with the masses has increased.
President Xi Jinping's recent rhetoric on ruling the country according to law has cast a new shadow over legal reform in China.
A clampdown on "Western ideas" in Chinese classrooms isn't just about controlling society. It has another dimension, involving Xi's relationship with the conservative left in the Communist party.

We have lost contact with the GPS collar worn by Devekh, the male snow leopard we had been tracking in Mongolia's South Gobi – most likely due to the collar's battery running out of steam ahead of schedule. For the first time in several years, we're therefore not currently tracking any cats.

I have ordered the long sleeve shirt version. I really like this design. When I saw the moon behind the snow leopard, I actually thought it was a halo similar to the ones you may see in Tibet with the religious artwork there. As you know, many in that area consider the snow leopard as sacred.

Hie Kim, I returned my items today, 1 snow leopard porcelain , and 1 men's snow leopard tee shirt. Can I trade the men's large for 1 women's large float t. shirt. Do you have it in pink, lavender or light, light blue or light light green? Call me at 540 505 4196.
The tracking # for the return is 282 7000 628. Guess you should get it by Friday 2-27-15.

I love the photos. I have a painting of a snow leopard that was done off of a picture from the artist's daughter. She snapped a picture in Nepal and gave him the picture and he painted it…and I have the painting. They are such beautiful cats. Thank you for sharing these lovely and shy creatures.

Only you can protect what they themselves can not. They relay on you like a helpless child does. Seek to protect them always, with laws that protect and keep them from harm. How wonderful you have such a magnificent speices of animal that calls only your county home! Snow leopards as other speices of this Earth have as much right to be here as we do. Thank you and Bless you.

How do I get a snow leopard screen saver. Snow leopards must be the most beautiful, like cheetahs, of all the wild big cats. Wish I could own one, as a pet.

Hey Suzie
Those cats definitely don't make good pets – they belong in the wild, where they can thrive! They do make for a great screen saver though! If you could send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com, we'll be happy to provide you with screensaver options

From Barnes & Noble
In the age of information, corporate managers watch the competition so intently that they often ignore the self-sabotage that they are helping create. Tom Rieger's Breaking the Fear Barrier exposes a destructive process that begins with a narrowing of focus, a growing parochialism, and a balkanization that replaces creativity with mistrust. This is a book that climbs out of the corporate thinking box to ask new questions and present fresh solutions.

that's the key to make this very successful. thank you. >> good evening, ed [inaudible] echoing some of the excellent words already spoken. local hire presents a win win for a school district in terms of its workers, the families supported by local hire as well as the students that get to see the absolute incredible benefits that can come from it. good faith in of itself is inconsistent and it's god this resolution has managed to [inaudible] has the ability to set mandatory percentages as a minimum that actually are very specific and sets guidelines to that end and the key point is that the apprenticeship standard should be also set by the city's local hiring policy
as well. it's good that at the end of the day that consistency is established by adhering to this resolution. second is to answer a speakers earlier point [inaudible] report published by oewd that showed that it was actually 7 percent below engineers estimates and 2012 actually showed [inaudible] and third and finally it's important to bring all the trades together to make sure that local hire works for the school district and for the students and families that benefit from this policy. thank you. >> i'm a part of [inaudible] and i'm not really all about statistics and all that because i've been working all my life and i'm 54 and i'm from san francisco and i didn't go to all your high schools 'cause i went through the pen. and all
these kids that you talking about -- i think you using these kids because the only schools i see -- you may not like what i say, but all the schools i see are white kids, hindu kids -- ya'll know about the history of san francisco about 66 over there when they shot up them brothers over there for trying to stand up. you get rid of the brothers. if you really cared about the kids you would find a way to get the fathers back to the house. i got a 16-year-old daughter -- she's across the bay -- i have a little record back 30 years ago, i can't be there with me daughter. not because it was so bad, but because it says if the mama --
[inaudible] i'm talking to people in bay view -- like, why don't ya'll hire the brothers. everything over there in bay view ain't owned by black /phepbl. -- men. [inaudible] because i see a lot of white girls doing it too. but you talk about the kids -- i think you using 'em because you ain't putting the black kids fathers in their houses 'cause you ain't giving us no job. do you see any black men up here. we don't have no jobs. all that union city build -- all that is garbage because only people you teaching to be a carpenter or plumber -- go down there an third [inaudible] you ain't teaching the black boys nothing but playing football, basketball and run
from the police. >> thank you sir. next speaker. >> hi, my name is [inaudible]. i'm standing here really conflicted. i'm a native san francisco citizen, i'm a [inaudible] i've put three children through the san francisco unified school district and i have two more that are still in the school system. i support project labor agreements 100 percent, but just as strongly i support access and opportunity. had it not been for my education in the san francisco unified school district, i may not have been able to become an electrician to take care of my family. i wanna stay here in san francisco, but my children want to stay in their native home as well. their ages are from 18 to 21 and it is so difficult for them to find employment. and we are african
americans here in san francisco, living in the bay view hunters point. my two sons graduated from lowell high school, my daughter graduated from the school of the arts and there's no reason they should be unemployed here in san francisco. i'm advocating for all of my /kpheurpb because i still have two daughters in the public school system. we have to get better, more creative, we have to make this thing work. this is intersecting interests. and i represent that intersecting interest so i hope that you guys will come together. i do believe in good union jobs so let's make this work the proper way. >> my name is kevin, i'm a
community activist and film maker. i want to off my support for the local hiring legislation that was passed by the city and hope that in compliance ya'll will take a look at that and use that as a measuring stick to be able to make sure that the contracts and agreements that come through ya'll body here is upheld to the highest standard. i do wanna echo despite the success that has come out of the local hiring legislation, it has not translated into hiring into members of the community, particularly communities of color. so i hope this could be a renewed commitment to ensuring that local hiring is held up and the good old buddy network does not have a monopoly on the
negotiations, but make sure that the community is part of that transparency as you move forward. thank you very much. >> evening commissioners, josh [inaudible] for sponsoring the resolution and everybody for your work on this. it's a long process to get here. we got a long way to go. i think you know from the community side we speak with our heart, you know. we believe in this and we put two years into the city's ordinance and we collect i havely bargained with a lot of the folkings -- folks to get policy that works so you hear a lot of us talking about wanting to see the school district move
into this comprehensive system. how do we start earlier? the ability to have a school district plugging into a [inaudible] major lee's construction work force advisory committee, city build who's been some great conversations. it's beyond exciting and i think that's why you wanna see us advocate to going that way. but we do support the resolution. we worked with everybody in the room and we wanna work with everyone in the room. i know we got a letter from the laborers just that we're not in the council and i know -- i can't speak for the laborers, but i heard they won't sign a pla if they weren't part of negotiating. but so i think the approach you have right now is a good way to go about that. there were some great points made around apprenticeship
numbers. there's release valves in the policy. it's a requirement, but there's way to get compliance if you help bring in an apprentice into the trade, to pose someone -- a young student out of john o connel into the trade. so it's not illegal. if you tell me it's illegal, but i've not seen anything that will say it's illegal. bull -- but in strong support. thank you commissioners. . >> hi, mike [inaudible]. just wanna say real quick i'm a union kid, i grew up in a union family. my father is a loyal retired member of local 2
working for some really good and really bad folks, but because of them i'm able to go to college and i was able to go to law school and while i look at this -- and there's a lot of good stuff here, but not there yet. just a few things that need to be ironed out. i'm a firm believer in local hire. it has been win win and we've seen the results. but also i would like to talk about local business enterprises because who is it that hires black and browns in this city? black and brown contractors primarily 'cause they're from the neighborhoods, they know the kids in the neighborhoods, they know me, they know some of the kids and some of the folks here and we know that we can make it happen. this city already has a local enterprise program, that has been very productive.
we're not reinventing the wheel here. but what i'm saying here is that the local hire and local business enterprise -- if you step back and take a look at the bigger picture, we're talking about an economic recovery package for bay view, patient valley, a lot of folks out there that have their union work that are starving for work and a lot of contractors there that are starving for work and are willing to pay a good wage. thank you very much. >> thank you to all the speakers. at this time supervisor yee -- i would love to give you an opportunity to
speak. odd to see you sitting on the other side of the table. >> good evening. i really wanted to be here tonight for -- for me, what i would consider historical vote. the reason i started this process with commissioner fewer last year and i felt that this is one of those things where i wish i had the opportunity to complete this particular journey and i wasn't able to do that. and it was a sad day when i had to leave and leave this undone. i wanna thank commissioner fewer to continue
this resolution and for commissioner haney to join in. and i wanna thank -- i just looked it over in terms of the amendments and so forth. i really wanna say that i'm very proud of this board working very diligently and actually strengthening the language in this. i'm glad to see that. i'm also glad to hear many of these comments, that there 's a lot of support for the direction we're going. this is not a new concept for san francisco as you know, and the reason why we brought it up at the end of last year was because the city already had done this. it was just logical to do this. this is city money, we want our city money to support or people in the city and this is just one opportunity for us to do this.
we just passed today after four-and-a-half hours at another meeting i was in earlier , but we just passed the terms of cpmc. they're not using our city money, they're using their own money, and yet they were able to agree to the general concept of local hiring that was set forth by the city. so once again, i think the school district at this point need to join the family of all the organizations and the city government in supporting really our families and when we talk about our families, the people that's gonna benefit really gonna be a lot of our public school kids' families so i'm here today to again, urge every one of you to support this and
get this passed and i know you have a lot more work to do in passing this but once again, i'm very happy that we're at this point at this time so thank you very much for -- i know this is gonna be a long evening for you. so thanks for giving me the opportunity president norton to speak on this issue that's very dear to me. so that's it. thank you. >> thanks for coming by for a visit. also nice to see you, don't be a stranger. so any comments -- board discussion -- comments and questions from board members? i understand that the authors wanna offer a few amendment; is that correct? do you wanna do that now? >> thank you president norton. yes. thank you for everyone that came out and spoke. you' absolutely right. we wanna be inclusive of all our building
construction trades so i think that you might have been a little misinformed. this vote is not a vote for a pla tonight or not. this vote is not the vote about the pla. this vote is actually for a resolution that asks staff to create a policy that includes local hire into a policy that would guide the future plas of this district. so we heard a lot tonight and every time that people come and speak, i just wanna say that i am also learning here and so tonight i learned something too so i'd like to make an amendment to this and i heard that the 70 percent is not aligned with what the city is doing so i would like to make an amendment that we reduce that to 50 percent. the 70 percent came from our staff recommendation
and we thought we could do that, but i'm hearing this could be difficult for some trades to meet and we want our trades to be in partnership with us so i would make an amendment that we switch it back to 50 percent. that's the first one. then i would -- because there's been so much talk about the city... >> do you wanna -- i wanna ask -- should we do amendments one at a time? okay. so you're making a motion first that in -- at the top of page two on the copy we have, in the clause it says that require at least 70 percent of the project work hours -- change that to 50 percent. i need a second on the motion. >> after you get a second, if there's no objection...
>> so is there any objection? okay. it's the top of page three for the public but there's no objection from the board so we will just do... -- next amendment. >> and then secondly because we've been hearing so much about the city ordinance and there was such a community process and we know all the trades have signed on to the city ordinance that i would like to add another bullet point that specifically says that this policy should align as closely as possible where legally permissible to the city's local hire ordinance. so i would like to add it as a bullet point to the last bullet point and the wording is again, this /polg -- policy should align as closely as possible where legally permissible to
the city's local hire. >> is there a second? is there any objection to the motion? being none, thank you. >> thank you very much. so i have other comments, but i'd like to let my colleagues speak first. thank you. >> just some questions. so in previous resolution, there was a whereas clause that referred to the student internship program and wanting to -- it was more of a statement to ensure that the student internship program [inaudible] doesn't get recognized and i'm wondering if the authors would be interested in putting a clause back in that ensures that an internship program is part of the pla.
>> absolutely. so commissioner mendoza, just to respond -- i request that be struck is that i felt the tone of the resolution was on a positive note. that was one whereas that was on a negative note and therefore i requested that it be stricken from the record. but absolutely, i agree, because this is about the children, the students. so we -- i believe there is language in here about it a little bit, but i'm happy to interchange further language or more specific language. >> so i would like to propose that we strengthen that piece so that that doesn't get lost in the -- since we now have the -- that the district will enter
into a [inaudible] in this new resolution or the stub institute resolution. i just wanna be sure we have that somewhere. is it already -- i didn't see it written in -- into the... >> so would it be all right commissioner, if i worked a little bit in a couple of minutes to draft another bullet point on to this that is maybe more specific and more targeted around creating internship programs specifically for our students of san francisco? that'd be great. >> can i ask a question? the superintendent has suggested to me that if the concern is that it's not implicit that we would have an internship program as part of any future pla, the superintendent just suggested that perhaps whereas could be restored but reworded in a more positive way so that we don't
insert language about an internship that could be problematic. >> it could just state that any agreement that the district would enter into would include an element for around an internship program for our students, but i think that commissioner mendoza -- if you want to tweak the wording and i will look at it to and then after the presentation we can present it. >> mr. davis, you can help craft that as well. and just in terms of the -- i just wanted to be clear. so this resolution is simply to instruct the staff to move forward on a policy. and i wanted to just ask in terms of
additional language or putting anything else in, is it gonna be restricted to what's in here or as they're developing if other things come up 'cause we'll still have to approve a policy down the road. so i just wanted to put that on record that there may be some other things that come down the road through april 23 and i just wanna have the flexibility to have that conversation because the policy is not in place yet, but this is instructing our staff to go forward to create the policy. >> i agree. i think we should write a line in there that allows us some flexibility to make additions and amendments to other things you might wanna see, of course with board approval. >> mr. wynn. >> thank you. i have a number of questions and comments. in case of that i'm fine with putting in something that makes
reference to that, although we can amend anything at any time. it's kind of like passing something saying we can do what we do. i don't object to that, people are redoesn't doesn't -- redundant. i'm very much? support of local hire. i think this is a very specific and long resolution that again, is our tendency to try to put everything and think of everything and describe it in such a way so while i appreciate -- and i think we should reiterate all the time, but this is something that says we're asking the staff to try to craft a policy that allows us to do things in this area that we're interested in, it is very specific. and for that reason i have some concern because we had a report from -- as was requested when this first was introduced from our staff which had a process which
was referred to earlier. it was my memory between 200 and 300 thousand dollars a year for monitoring a local hire program. so all the other things that are listed here that we say we want, aggressive outreach programs, all kinds of other things, the internship program, all of those things are not necessarily covered in the cost estimates that we have and therefore we don't have an idea about what it might cost. further, we all have had issues raised by the bond advisory committee and i appreciate that our attorney has looked at that but i'm not sure it's totally within this area -- that we are -- i'm not totally satisfied that it's an appropriate use of prop 39 because prop 39 is so
specific in what you can use, what you have to say in the bond language itself in order to spend money in a way that's not specified clearly in the language so i think that's a concern. and i would like to have, before we get the policy, a further anal -- analysis of what kind of staff time this will cost, which is the financial analysis that we currently have some reference to. so i think that's important for us to know. i remain a bit concerned about some language that has been left in there and we've heard testimony this evening that makes me think we still have lots of confusion about whether or not /w*e can do what the city does, which in many cases we can't. in fact, our legal
advice has been we can do a mandatory local hire policy or program only as part of a negotiated project labor agreement. and so some of these -- and as i said before, that means that whatever we want, our program has to be agreed to by the building trades council and we do a pla. and just to remind everybody, while the previous pla conditions were agreed to by the negotiators of the building trades council, each member of the union had to sign the pla. so i -- none of us will be in those negotiations thankfully, but those doing the negotiations, need to be clear
that every union member must sign. i'm not gonna go into the detail because i just have some concerns /-fpbl . i don't actually know enough about the detail, but seems to me there may [inaudible] things that require contractors to work with state regulator apprenticeship programs, which are actually the people who have apprentices and work with them -- they're hired by contractors, but it's the local unions that actually work with the apprentice programs so i think we have some impossible things that unintentionally that we'll need to work out as we go along. so i -- those are really the things i wanted to say. one concern i have also about something that we were
told just is not legal, is that i have concern -- i appreciate the word explore, but i still have concern with the words direct contracting because while we just did authorization for -- and a contract for design build contract on willy brown and we've talked about lease issues, but -- and all those things are fine. we can talk about those. but what i understood from our lawyers was that it was the direct contracting policy that we had a problem with. so if that could be modified in such a way just to not be inaccurate in the message that it's sending i would appreciate that. thank you.

These are heavy-duty speaker cables with a 2-conductor cable built from high quality OFC (oxygen-free copper) wiring and are used to send a clean signal to non-powered speakers or monitors. It's intended for high-current applications only; not for line-level signals.
My amplifiers recommend 16AWG speaker cables up to 15' to connect to my speaker cabinets for guitar, bass or PA. So, I picked up a couple of these HOSA 15' speaker cables and was pleasantly surprized at the high quality of the metal ends, gold-plated tips, reinforcing around the cable ends - and the thick high-quality oxygen-free cable itself. Yeah, and it sounds good with no weirdness. Why pay 4-times as much for boutique speaker cables when these HOSA cables are great quality with all the features?

Professor Layton developer Level-5 is teaming up with social gaming's DeNA on Professor Layton Royale. Andriasang reports the new social game has players selecting from three different classes and is a crossover of Layton and Kaito Royale.
The game will initially launch in Japan, with the potential of "localized versions to international users on the highly anticipated global Mobage service." With DeNA's acquisition of ngmoco last year -- and Layton's international appeal -- the company would be leaving money on the table if it didn't take advantage of the global opportunity.
Crossovers are something Professor Layton is getting comfortable with, as the puzzle master also has an upcoming collaboration with Capcom's ace attorney in Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright for 3DS.
