Phoenix Suns
Shannon Brown's performance a bright spot for the Phoenix Suns
The Phoenix Suns have certainly had their fair share of struggles this season, mainly they've had trouble getting consistent, productive performances out of their players.
One Sun who could be deemed an exception is Shannon Brown. The 27-year-old has continually provided impressive efforts, and exemplary shot selection, even during the team's lowly seven-game losing streak.
"I think he does a phenomenal job at the end of shot clocks," Suns' color analyst Tim Kempton told Arizona Sports 620's Doug & Wolf Show Thursday. "He never puts his teammates at a disadvantage by giving them the ball as the shot clock is running down. He understands the situation and it may not be the greatest shot but at least it's a shot."
Kempton is quite high on Brown and believes he is playing quality basketball for the Suns right now.
"Shannon Brown, athletic enough to burn guys down off the dribble, score and take it to the basket and we've seen his shooting abilities," Kempton said. "So I think his shot selection within the game framework is absolutely dead on. I think he's playing absolutely very, very good this year."
The Suns' guard is averaging 12.5 points and 2.5 rebounds in 26 minutes this year.

What is the Flu?
The FLU is a shortened term for influenza, a viral infection of the respiratory tract. FLU symptoms are similar to those of the common cold - fever, body aches, runny nose, sore throat and non-productive cough. Abdominal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may occur in addition to the respiratory symptoms, especially in children. The FLU, however, is much more serious than the common cold. Symptoms are usually much more serious and cause greater discomfort and incapacitation which often leads to more serious illnesses such as pneumonia and death. An estimated 36,000 FLU deaths occur each year in the U.S. More than 90% of the deaths occurred among people 65 years or older.
Causes of the Flu
Two viruses, Influenza A and Influenza B, are responsible for most of the FLU outbreaks. They enter a person from direct contact with airborne droplets produced when infected persons cough or sneeze (especially in enclosed spaces). A person may also become infected from contact with objects contaminated by these droplets or after being touched by the infected persons. Influenza viruses have been found to survive on contaminated surfaces and objects between 2 to 8 hours, and are thus, highly communicable.
Incubation and Infection
A newly infected person is capable of infecting others for one day before symptoms develop and up to 5 days after being exposed to the flu virus. This short incubation period causes the FLU to spread among people very quickly. It only takes a few days for large populations to become infected, especially if people are in close contact with each other or share the same air space, e.g., enclosed rooms, elevators or buses.
Relapses and Occurrences
Because the FLU virus has so many different strains it is easy to get the virus even if you just had it. Any person who does not have antibodies to the particular FLU virus strain that he or she is exposed to is susceptible and can develop illness. People who have antibodies from a previous FLU may have enough antibodies to prevent them from becoming ill again, provided the virus they were previously exposed to is the same strain. For example, if a person was infected by an Influenza A, Wuhan strain, they would only be protected from Influenza A, Wuhan and not from other Influenza A strains, such as the Sydney strain or from an Influenza B strains.
The Flu Vaccine
How does it work?
The FLU vaccines consist of two strains of Influenza A and one strain of Influenza B killed viruses. When injected into your body, it causes your immune system to build antibodies to protect you from those strains of viruses. It also acts as a booster and increases your antibodies level, should you already have antibodies to those virus strains. The vaccine is formulated annually by the World Health Organization. They keep watch of the various FLU outbreaks that are occurring world wide and determine which strains would pose the greatest threat to our communities.
How often should you be vaccinated?
Every year. The vaccine is changed yearly. It is made specifically for the upcoming FLU season based on scientific research identifying which specific type of influenza strain will circulate that year. The vaccine you received earlier may not contain the same strains that are in the new vaccine. Also antibody levels produced by this vaccine appear to decline after six months. The annual vaccination helps to boost your antibody levels.
When should you get the vaccine?
If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, the optimal vaccination time is October to November. Flu season usually occurs during the months of December through March, however, the flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. It takes a minimum of two weeks for your body to build enough antibodies to protect you.
Will the vaccine make you sick?
The vaccine does not contain any infectious viruses so it cannot cause you to get the FLU. The most common side effect is a sore arm that will last 1-2 days. A few people may react to the immunization with low grade fevers and body aches which begin 6-12 hours after the vaccination. This may last for up to two days. The symptoms are usually not severe enough to cause a person to miss work.
Often people claim they get ill after the vaccination. CDC studies have shown that these illnesses are not caused by the vaccine. Most likely they were viral colds that people may have coincidentally been exposed to just prior to vaccination. There are over 200 strains of viruses that cause colds.
Pregnant women should check with their physician prior to receiving a flu shot. It does not have any effect on breast milk.
Who should be vaccinated?
• Anyone who wants to be protected from the FLU
• Persons 50 years or older
• Residents of nursing homes
• Adults or children who have chronic disorders of pulmonary or cardiovascular systems, including children with asthma
• Adults or children with chronic metabolic diseases such as diabetes or immunosuppression
• Health care workers
• Employees of nursing homes or home care providers
• Household members who live with people in any of the above categories
• Pregnant Women (Pregnant women or women trying to get pregnant should consult with their physician prior to getting the flu shot. Pregnant women should not receive vaccines administered through nasal sprays or any vaccine using live, attenuated Influenza Vaccine (LAIV)).
Who should NOT be vaccinated?
• Anyone allergic to chicken eggs
• Persons diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome
• Adults with acute febrile illnesses. They should wait until their symptoms have cleared.
• Persons who had a previous allergic reaction to the influenza vaccine.
Prevent the Flu from Hitting You!
Here are some personal health tips that can help protect you from infection during the Flu season:
• Avoid close contact with other people who are sick.
• If you are experiencing signs or symptoms of the flu, stay home from work.
• Use a tissue to cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing.
• Frequent hand washing.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth after touching contaminated objects.
• Get restful sleep.
• Drink plenty of fluids.
• Make healthy food choices.
• Manage your stress appropriately.

You have taken a wrong route. Awareness is not wrong, but what you think is awareness is not - you are thinking. It is not awareness, because in awareness there is no question of analyzing. Analysis is thinking, and when you analyze you automatically judge - this is good, this is bad, this is normal, that is abnormal. When you go on judging, the head becomes more and more heavy, and then when you want to get rid of it you cannot, because on the whole you want to be self-realized. Nothing is wrong in the search for self-realization, but you have taken some wrong notions about awareness, so first drop it. I will give you something else to do first, and then I will bring you back, once the slate has been cleaned.
In this camp when you do the meditations get completely lost, drunk. Don't watch - be as if you are not there. When you are dancing, dance as if you are not there. Dance so madly and be so completely absorbed in it that the dancer disappears and there is no watcher, no division. It will take a little time because you have been doing this too much - analyzing and thinking and judging and condemning. But it will come.
I would like to find a partner, but I can't. I need help.
You cannot find? Just wait a little. First something has to be done to you otherwise the partner will be in trouble! First meditation should be settled, and then love, otherwise love brings so many problems.
One should be happy alone, then only, love is good. If you are not happy alone then love is not going to help. You will destroy love itself.
I am happy sometimes.
So catch the quality of those moments - what is happening that makes you happy - and then let it happen more and more. You will find those moments will be of non-thinking, non-analyzing, non-judgment, non- condemnation - then one is happy.
With your mind you will start analyzing the girl. You will become a psychoanalyst, and the poor girl will suffer. Wait a little.
I thought I'd created a beautiful life for my children to be happy, but my son throws tantrums and says he wants to go home to England. I don't know if the children are happy. Perhaps I'm forcing them to be, and that's absurd.
It is always better to listen to their feelings rather than to your ideas of happiness, because nobody can decide for anybody else what is going to be happiness. Sometimes it is very difficult for a mother because she has her notions of what happiness is. The children may not be happy according to you - you will make them unhappy, and then you will be unhappy.
Love them, but don't force any pattern of happiness on them. Leave them free to find their own happiness and they will always be grateful to you.
But is what they say what they mean?

(CNN) — A measure expanding background checks on gun sales that was defeated in the Senate two weeks ago can still be revised and approved in the chamber, one of the bill's authors argued on Sunday.
Sen. Joe Manchin, D-West Virginia, said the legislation he wrote with Republican Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania had caused confusion among his collegues, which contributed to its failure earlier this month.
"The only thing that we've asked for is that people would just read the bill. It's a criminal and mental background checks strictly at gun shows and online sales," Manchin said on "Fox News Sunday," saying the confusion arose from a misperception that gun owners' purchases would be tracked by the federal government.
Manchin and Toomey made similar pleas to their collegues ahead of the April 17 vote, but failed to garner enough support from Republicans and conservative Democrats to gain passage. Along with the background checks bill, a ban on assault weapons also went down in defeat.
Afterwards, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said he was shelving the proposed gun legislation without bringing it to a final vote, saying "the best way to keep working towards passing a background check bill is to hit pause, and freeze the background check bill where it is."
"This will allow senators to keep negotiating," he said. A Senate Democratic leadership aide said at the time that Reid could still bring up the package of gun proposals again if circumstances change and he believes he has the votes for key provisions to pass.
Ramping up restrictions on gun sales was a top priority of President Barack Obama in the aftermath of December's deadly shooting at a school in Newtown, Connecticut. The failure of the background check bill was seen as a major defeat of that particular facet of Obama's agenda.
On Sunday, Manchin said he still had the support of Toomey, the background check bill's co-author, and that with enough effort he could convince more lawmakers to support it.
"I truly believe if we have time to sell the bill, and people read the bill," it will gain support, Manchin said. "I'm willing to go anywhere in this country, I'm going to debate anybody on this issue, read the bill and you tell me what you don't like."

All eyes are on Britney Spears and will.i.am this week. Their single "Scream & Shout" has moved it's way up to No. 3 on Billboard's Hot 100 Chart. Last week, it was stuck at No. 5.
But the duo shouldn't get too excited because it looks like it's going to be tough to move up any higher. Macklemore and Ryan Lewis' "Thrift Shop" is holding onto No. 1 for its third week in a row, and Bruno Mars' "Locked Out of Heaven" doesn't seem to want to leave the No. 2 spot.
Spears and will.i.am "gotta turn the s**t up" if they want to make it to No. 1.

Finally Found It!!!!
Pure Rose Save the Date Magnets I have been looking at tons of save the date ideas but didn't find anything that truly did it for me until I saw the Pure Rose save the date. It fit my theme exactly as my colors are black, white with red roses. I actually cried when I came across it. Can't wait to send them out. They were, however, a little smaller than I thought they were going to be. It's a minor thing though. Very happy.

VAN BUREN – The Bryant Lady Hornets' softball team had a rollercoaster of a weekend in west Arkansas. After routing Van Buren 17-0 in 7A Central conference action on Thursday, the Lady Hornets then played six games in two days in the Van Buren Invitational on Friday and Saturday. Bryant won all six games to carry on its undefeated season to improve to 18-0 overall and 3-0 in conference play. All invitational games were limited to 70 minutes because of the number of games and time constraints.
"We had a good tournament," Bryant Coach Debbie Clark said. "Winning is always good.
BRYANT – After senior Dylan Cross pitched the Bryant Hornets to a 9-1 win over the Van Buren Pointers in 7A Central conference action in Van Buren on Friday, the Hornets continued their routing ways with an 11-1 victory over the Texarkana Razorbacks on Saturday afternoon in Bryant.
In the win against the Pointers, Cross gave up one run in a seven-inning, complete-game, giving up five hits and a walk while striking out seven.
BENTON - The Benton Panthers came into Friday's match against the conference leading Sheridan Yellowjackets looking to continue their winning ways after routing Texarkana on Tuesday. That is exactly what the Panthers did as they beat the Jackets 5-0 to move into a tie for first in the 6A South.
Though the Panthers got past the Jackets, the scoreboard was full of zeros until the bottom half of the sixth inning. Coulton Lee shut down Sheridan for seven innings on his way to tossing a complete-game shutout to get Benton to 3-1 in conference play and 10-4 overall.
HOT SPRINGS – The Bryant ninth-grade boys earned their second win in a row Tuesday at the Lakeside Relays in Hot Springs. The Jr. Hornets scored a total of 155 points to dominate the field, finishing 41 points ahead of runner-up White Hall.Â
BENTON - Saline County is home to one of the hottest high school softball teams in the state so far this season. The Benton Lady Panthers are now 10-1 and are riding a 10-game winning streak after a dazzling performance against Sheridan, winning 7-1 on Thursday.
BRYANT – The Bryant Hornets hosted the Little Rock Catholic Rockets in 7A Central conference play on Tuesday and came away with a 4-1 victory.
The Hornets (12-2, 2-1 7A Central) scored all four of their runs in the second inning with two outs. Senior Dylan Cross singled to start the inning and went to second base on sophomore Wesley Akers' walk. After sophomore Chase Tucker struck out, junior Hayden Daniel grounded into a fielder's choice to third base, who stepped on the bag to put runners on first and second.
BRYANT – Bryant senior distance runner Skylar Oswalt joined teammates Ashlyn Lessenberry and Stacy Emmerling to run cross country at Henderson State University in Arkadelphia when she signed a letter of intent Wednesday morning at the Bryant Gym. According to cross country Coach Danny Westbrook, Henderson may need to change their mascot.
"This is the third signing with Henderson State with Ashyln Lessenberry and Stacy Emmerling," Westbrook said. "The Lady Reddies are going to have to change their mascot to the Lady Hornets. We're soon going to have our team down there."
BRYANT – The Bryant Lady Hornets got a no-hitter from senior pitcher Peyton Jenkins, two home runs from sophomore Kaley Coppock and continued their undefeated season getting a 10-0 victory over the Mount Saint Mary's Belles in 7A Central action on Tuesday at Lady Hornets Field.
"We did what we were supposed to," Bryant Coach Debbie Clark said. "This is a game that we should win. I told the girls after spring break that this is a game we have to come in and take care of business. Those are the games as a coach that you kind of get worried about, but the girls came and did their jobs."
HASKELL – The Harmony Grove Lady Cardinals' softball team continued their winning ways following spring break on Monday and Tuesday. On Monday, the Lady Cardinals opened up their conference season with a rout over Glen Rose, 10-3. Tuesday was a litter tougher when Harmony Grove met up against Perryville for a 1-0 win at home.
NORTH LITTLE ROCK – The Bauxite Lady Miners were up 7-1 going into the bottom of the sixth inning, but errors and missed opportunities led to an 8-7 extra-inning loss to the Robinson Lady Senators on Monday at Burns Park in North Little Rock to start 7-4A conference play.
"You probably can't print what I have to say," Bauxite Coach Wes Mode said wryly. "It was Glen Rose all over again. We just can't finish. We can't deal with success, and yet we can't handle adversity either. It's kind of strange."

Michael, most users are on dual channel memory platforms (1155/AM3/FM2), only few users will consider this blatant advertisement.
Phoronix: Corsair Vengeance 12GB DDR3-1600MHz
If you are in the market for a high-capacity triple-channel memory kit, the 12GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1600MHz memory pack is worth considering.
Michael, most users are on dual channel memory platforms (1155/AM3/FM2), only few users will consider this blatant advertisement.
blatant advertisement yes, high capacity? give me a break. 8GB sticks have been out 18 months barely barely more expensive per gigabyte for a triple channel kit.
What's even scarier is that dual 8GB laptop (so-dimm) kits are *cheaper* per stick than the 8GB desktop (dimm) with the triple channel kits.
Personally, I think we're at a point where we can ditch DIMMs and only use SO-DIMMs. As far as I'm aware, the performance difference is the same and they can both fit the same capacities (though SO-DIMMs seem to be a little slower in adopting a new higher capacity).
claiming 4GB sticks as high capacity? You do realize 18 months is almost an eternity in the tech market?
I don't know, the subtitle of the article didn't say anything special about ddr3, it just that the 4GB sticks are "high capacity".
Hm, for the same price I've got 16GB of Kingston Hyper X DDR3 Grey Edition 1600MHz XMP. Why would I only want 12GB instead for that money?
Corsair, the Apple of self-made PCs.
And really, better get 4×2GB if you need fast RAM (and you're on S2011), the only use of triple channel is for S1366 (which is quite old now).
"If you are in the market for a high-capacity triple-channel memory kit" << == First line of the article.
What's the next step after 12GB in the triple channel arena? It's also the final step. Duuuhhhh, 3x8=24GB, maybe? 12GB of triple channel is considered 'high capacity' for the architecture and market it was targeting. Most people on a day to day basis get by on 1GB phones. Most games dont need half of 12GB to run, and any game, even in high res, doesn't need 12GB as the VGA is the workhorse these days. So 12GB is still relevant.
The only thing that was not mentioned was wtf this server was for, which quite possibly was a wise decision/oversight on Mikes part. It would have provoked more stupid technical argy bargy about who's got a bigger penis for 1 dorra less. And the server was built around commodity consumer hardware and not server grade, so capacaties of 64GB+ aren't relevant.
And I also checked out my local suppliers rates for triple channel; this RAM happens to have the best price point so, advert or not, the article has a gem of truth even on the other side of the world.

Living Room: End Tables
End tables are an essential piece of furniture for living rooms/dens/family rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, and more. Perfect for tabletop display and storage, as well as a convenient place to keep your glasses, a drink of water and the book you're reading, end tables are often thought of as purely utilitarian - just something you need to make your life a little bit easier. But they can be much more than that.
Every bit as much as coffee and side tables, end tables are a way to create a stylish, complete interior design in every room (and yes, the storage and display is fantastic as well!). To that end we've collected a wide range of end tables here in the Smart Furniture online catalogue to suit every need and fit the style of any room. From 20th century classics to fresh, contemporary pieces recently debuted on the world stage, we've got the styles and the designs to make your end tables sing.
Take for instance the gorgeous Dino End Table, a modern creation built with glass, metal, and a dash of wood accent. Funky and charming, it's a piece that feels loose, informal, and yet still lovely and lasting. On the other end of the spectrum are pieces from design legends like Frank Lloyd Wright, The Eames', George Nelson, and more. Brands like Herman Miller, Steelcase, Blu Dot and BDI all vie for attention and accolades on the modern design stage, and we have all of their latest and greatest designs available for our customers as well.
If you're looking for the perfect end table (or set of end tables) to complete your favorite rooms, look no further - you won't find a better collection of beautiful, functional furniture anywhere else than right here at Smart Furniture.

The problem is that, perhaps as a result of that complexity, it's been badly implemented on a lot of hardware, and also that the manufacturers are only testing it with the software they expect it to run on. And since we're talking about laptop hardware, that software is Windows.
We don't have to even go to mess of not being able to install and run software you want on hardware just because of UEFI. And all that bullshit how "it is possible IF blabla IF blabla IF, and IF You just do this and that and pray" is just bullshit because people should never ever have problems what UEFI delivers.
I had got a black screen on an acer laptop which was quite frustrating but if you press the FN key then the brightness up button, it would show the startup ubuntu desktop. it reads the lowest dim setting as off instead of what it should be. don't know if thats the same for these samsungs but its worth a shot.
A similar case several years ago... lmsensors could brick some IBM Thinkpad laptops while probing for sensors. While the software developers quickly blacklisted the hardware and put up dire warnings, it's not their fault that it was trivially possible to corrupt firmware.
I think locovaca was talking about the flashrom utility, designed specifically for programming flash roms :
My Linux server uses UEFI just fine. In fact, it makes things easier with GPT partitioning on 3TB hard drives.
In fact, when I was helping out other customers on NewEgg's tech support site.. Somebody came to the forum who had decided to use a 3rd party utility to flash a BIOS to his motherboard that wasn't even the right BIOS for the Asus Motherboard.. It flashed OK but then the board wouldn't power up, but the key-combo worked to get his mobo to install the correct BIOS from removable media. Surprise surprise, he used the 3rd party utility because Asus's BIOS updater refused to flash the wrong BIOS to the board. Yet he was still able to recover his hardware.
It's not hard to make hardware that's idiot-proof.
Dell's BIOS recovery is even easier... You just put the disk in and it will install the BIOS from the disk automatically if the currently flashed BIOS is corrupted.
On the overwhelming majority of Android devices and tablets these days, even if you have a bad firmware flash, you can put the device into a mode such that the PC can write directly to the device's memory allowing you to flash it remotely,... simply by holding down a couple buttons while the device is powering up..Insert the diskette into the diskette drive of the malfunctioning computer. Then turn the computer on.
The computer automatically regenerates the BIOS from the diskette.
Any device that bricks from software, is a defective hardware design. There is ZERO excuses. This is 2013 and customers don't need to put up with crap hardware and they can vote with their wallet.
Two words can describe these Samsung devices.. GARBAGE HARDWARE.
It's 100% Samsung's fault. Not only did they make crappy hardware, but they trusted other people to provide the linux support for their hardware instead of doing it themselves.. They were practically begging for this kind of problem to happen.
I'm so glad I didn't buy a Samsung ultrabook now, was really close to buying one last month. I'll probably still buy a Samsung phone though, as they don't brick.

What people are objecting to is that they have to edit the configuration manually in order to disable auto suspend.
Because, you know, editing configuration files is much too horrible for Linux users and every option under the sun has to be in the GUI for us to be able to deal with it.
Windows and KDE lets you configure the action when you close your laptop lid, so it's obviously a bad thing.
Pretty much.Hell, why even have a GUI for configuring anything. If someone wants to change the color of their font, there's a .conf for that. New screen inactivity-screen saver trigger time? There's a .conf for that. Want to change the keyboard mousekeys? There's a .conf for that.
Windows and KDE lets you configure the action when you close your laptop lid, so it's obviously a bad thing.
No. It's not a bad thing because KDE4 and Windows does it. It's a bad thing because it's main purpose is work around buggy hardware.
Your logic being expressed here is extraordinarily immature.
Instead of cobbling together features and forcing users to choose between multiple different solutions (all of which are broken in some fundamental way) people can actually go and FIX the problems.
Just like instead of forcing people to use bullshit hacks to get their wifi working by having Network-Manager adopt support for every hair brained configuration option, they just fixed the wifi drivers so the hacks were not necessary.
Just like instead of forcing people to edit custom asoundrc files and different weird combinations of pmix and amix plugins in a effort to get their sound to stop working like shit and sounding like shit... PA did away with all that. So instead of forcing people to work around buggy drivers you just fix the sound drivers.
So the goal here is to stop requiring users to configure their way around Linux's shitty power management and hardware support and just produce software that requires working hardware drivers. Then instead of putting time and effort into work around shitty drivers in user programs and configs developers can just fix the drivers so everything 'just works'.
This is the advantage that Linux can bring to the table over Windows. This is also why OS X is superior, in terms of usability, over Linux and Windows... because even though it is proprietary they control the hardware and can make sure everything 'just works'.
OS X doesn't have a configuration option to disable sleep either.
Because users don't have to deal with bullshit Windows drivers issues and do not have to deal with Linux's crappy power management support.
You can hack and fart around with your drivers and ruin your systems all you want. Just don't expect Gnome to support you in your endeavor.
Their goal is to make a system that is consistent and behaves in the most ideal manner that they see fit. If you think that limits you or controls you or that gnome's are nazis or whatever then all it shows is that you really don't understand how to make the system do what you want.
I can guarantee you that if you know python decently you could spend a evening working on a applet were you disable suspend-when-lid-closed with a single mouse click.
The Gnome configuration system makes this sort of thing EASY. Really. The whole system is designed for making it easier for developers and administrators, who know what their doing, to configure the details on how their user's desktops work.
The point is not everybody wants their laptop to automatically suspend when they close its lid. What if you want it to keep crunching on some task or playing music while you close the lid to save power. There are valid reasons why someone would want their laptop to suspend, hibernate, or turn off the screen, but there is no good reason to take away the ability of your users to make that choice for themselves.
Now that I think about it.I can guarantee you that if you know python decently you could spend a evening working on a applet were you disable suspend-when-lid-closed with a single mouse click.
You can then share that code with everybody else and they can make it work in a easy manner also. In fact you can, very easily, write a configuration GUI program that can perform all sorts of tweaks and edits that Gnome's default configuration tools don't allow for it.
Think of it as a 'Ubuntu Power Tool'.
In fact I heavily encourage people to do so. There have been Gnome tweaker tools in the past. I've used a couple of them.
Now it's easier to write them then it ever was in the past.
I really dislike it when I have to use a system that I have to sit and stare at for a minute to make sure that it really actually did suspend before I stick it in a bag.
AND people who really do not want their laptop to suspend can still configure it. The whole 'enable the option' in dconf takes 10 seconds.
You could just let the display shut off on it's own. That way you don't have to do anything at all. No configuration, no thinking, no nothing. Just walk away and in a few minutes it will disable the display.What if you want it to keep crunching on some task or playing music while you close the lid to save power.
I never said there was no good reasons. I said the primary reason for the feature is to work around bullshit problems with the hardware.here are valid reasons why someone would want their laptop to suspend, hibernate, or turn off the screen, but there is no good reason to take away the ability of your users to make that choice for themselves.
Nobody had their choices taken away from them because Gnome decided to remote a button from a dialog. That's a huge overstatement.
There are perfectly good reasons why somebody would like a video of a screaming chicken pop up on their display at 6:30 in the morning, too.
But I don't think that I feel like Gnome decided to take away my choice to having a screaming chicken video because they didn't put the option in my clock applet.

Kimchi Fried Rice
My husband has a good Korean friend whose mother-in-law runs a restaurant in LA's Korean Town. She always makes kimchi from scratch and he would always give us some. Whenever life gives us homemade kimchi, I make kimchi fried rice, which is easily one of the most delicious fried rice recipes ever.
Kimchi fried rice is one of the most popular Korean recipes and takes practically 15 minutes to prepare and calls for a few basic ingredients: kimchi, overnight steamed rice, and egg. If you like, you can add meat such as beef, chicken, spam, or bacon, but I like the plain kimchi fried rice. It is delicious as is, as like my favorite Chinese fried rice.
The egg is often cooked sunny side up and placed on top of the rice. For my food photography, I served it separately to let the kimchi fried rice shines through in the photos. (You can check out the complete gallery by clicking on the top picture above.)
Many Koreans make Kimchi fried rice whenever they need to use up the kimchi at home. To me, kimchi fried rice is one easy recipe that produces mouthwatering and satisfying result.
If you like Korean recipes, you might also like these recipes on Rasa Malaysia: Japchae (Chap Chae) - sweet potato noodles, Kalbi (Galbi) – BBQ beef short ribs, Bibimbap – mixed rice with vegetables.

Wowzers Bee that looks good – really looking forward to giving that a go (and store cupboard / fridge contents ingredients – bonus!) :)
That's a super drool-worthy photo! I could really eat some of that right now!
I really love kimchi fried rice and everything with kimchi, but hubby doesn't seem to like it. That is the problem. Sigh…
Mmmm, mouth watering. I love kimchee!
YUM! My favourite fried rice, now I want some!
I actually bought a small jar of kimchi recently because I saw a recipe kind of like yours, but I can't for the life find it, so when I saw you post this, I made sure to bookmark it. Tonight: steamed rice, tomorrow: kimchi fried. Thank you :d
Sounds like a good recipe, thanks. Will try it.
Overnight steamed rice – the meaning sounds obvious – rice that has been steamed overnight – but how exactly is it made? Not familiar with the term, and I am not a regular cook :-) Is it done using some sort of rice cooker with controls to make sure the rice does not get overcooked, etc.? Also, why is it specifically mentioned in the recipe, rather than just regular steamed rice? Is the taste different, and/or more suited to this recipe in some way?
To go with this kimchi fried recipe, do you have a recipe for kimchi on your site?
I can't eat too spicy so regular Kimchi is not my favorite dish (I like white kimchi though). But fried rice with Kimchi…YUM..looks delicious! Beautiful photos as always Bee!
Love this!!! Great hangover food as well with the egg ;) I have what remains of a big vat of kimchi in the fridge and I must get another batch of this going.
I love kimchi and kimchi fried rice. Yours look delicious and very appetizing!
Just made this tonight and it tastes great! I think I'll put some more veggies next time like traditional fried rice (carrots, peas, etc). Thanks for the recipe!!
I was introduced to this site by a friend who's a fan of your site. My, I like your recipes very much.
The only & first time I had Kimchi Fried Rice was about 2 years ago at an authentic Korean stall in Malaysia! I remembered it was spicy but oh, so very delicious. It was a big plate that I had to share it with my husband.
Your recipe is easy to follow and I shall make it for Sat dinner this weekend. :)
Hello.I also like to make kimchi fried rice with my mother in law handmade kimchi^^ Welcome to my blog if u love to know other korean foods.
hi!, A while back I was searching for some foodies that would arouse my tastebuds and found this! I really love KIMCHI.. And I will surely try doing this at home even if my hubby doesn't like KIMCHI. Can I add sirloin beef here or ground beef? or chicken as add-ons? Does it affect the taste? Lols… Iam so into cooking delicious foods… hehehehe.
I love your website! I have been following it for about 4 years now, but stopped cooking for some reason about a year ago, and only recently started looking through recipes again….and as I was looking for something delicious to try out, I remembered Rasa Malaysia! I am so glad I stopped by today, I am going to try out this kimchi recipe with some of my students (most of my ESL students are Korean), so this would be fun AND delicious!!
Thank you for having such an AMAZING blog!!
xoxo Courtney
I am definitely trying out this authentic recipe. Being an Indian, I am used to eating spicy dishes. When we shifted to Hong Kong last November, we explored a lot of Asian dishes here, also the kimchi! I loved the way you added this to fried rice!
Another kimchi recipes for muslim? some ingredients we cannot eat
Thanks for helping to introduce Americans to bibim bap. What a great meal! Breakfast, lunch or dinner. I skip the black pepper, but add a good squirt of siriacha for a hangover morning. I like to add fish sauce too. Put in slices of whatever leftover meat is around for dinner, or late night snacks.
Made this last night. It was DEEEEEElicious! I think the kim chi quality matters. Thank you for the recipe!
I discovered your website while browsing shesimmers.com. I've already made garlic noodles and kimchi fried rice (30 mins ago). I got the thumbs up from my wife the Thai foodie. Thank you. I've already flagged about a dozen other recipes I want to try.
A big fan in San Francisco.
Hi Bee,
I've bookmarked several recipes I want to try from you. I love kimchi fried rice and anything kimchi. Do you have any recommendations for store bought Kimchi? I live in the Bay Area and never know what's a good brand to buy at Asian markets or Korean markets.
wow i feel silly, three days ago i was looking for an awesome fried rice recipe and ended up making something not worthy of even name Rice.
I do so love kimchi. I wish I could make that!
can i make kimchi fried without rice ?
we must put sesame oil on it ? if not ?
Great recipe and really great way to use up all my extra kimchi. Thank you for this site – really love your recipes, writing and presentation.
Made this receipe last night, this was sooo good, taste exactly the same as any good kimchibab in a korean restaurant, in the comfort of my house! Thanks a lot for that receipe and many others I tried from your website! All the ones Ive tried turned to be perfect!! Do you have a receipe for leek mandu?

"Amazing and yet disturbing"
I understand what everyone else have to say about the narration by Roy Dotrice. That being said I wasn't as disturbed as others were. The difference in Arya's tone is poignant yes but it isn't that mind boggling to understand. He still has that ability to capture you and after the original... shock, you once again are able to ease yourself into the book and the wonderful narration.
George R. R. Martin keeps twisting the story all over the place... As with the other books you WILL find parts of this book that leaves you saying 'Why?!', 'Seriously George?' and 'No!!!' You do see where these happenings seem to fit in the overall plot but at this point I am almost afraid of continuing to listen the book (not that I will actually stop) because I am concerned as to who he might kill next or what other twist he might throw in my face. At different points in the story you really don't know who is the bad guy/woman and you honestly don't know who to trust. At this point I am just saddened by what's going on with the Starks in general and I don't see where or how they will truly recover. I am honestly at the point now though that I would really want the good guys (whoever they are) to actually have a happy ending and the bad guys (again whoever they are) their just rewards.
Overall a great listen and a necessary listen if you are into mature fantasy literature. Just... prepare yourself.... This one too is shocking....
"Can't find Fault"
This is actually one of those really well written books. The narration was on point and the content impressive. I was pleasantly surprised here not particularly thinking that I would enjoy this book as much as I did. The book comes to a nice resolution here and it had the right amount of twists and intrigue throughout the book that keeps you gripped. The narration while initially was a bit.... offsetting for me really grew on me as the book progressed. I enjoyed the growth I found in the major characters and I like how this book sets up the other books in the series while still being good enough to stand on it's own. The strength of the book isn't the promise of another book in the series, although you end up being intrigued enough to want to read other books, the book is just genuinely a good read.
"It's not done?"
I hate it when a book ends at on a cliffhanger. I remember listening to this title.... looking at the time left and knowing that there is no way everything is going to be wrapped up in the time that was left. I am not sure how the other book in this series is going to unfold but it's definitely going to be an interesting one.
The action in this one got turned up a couple notches with a lot of really fast pace, exciting portions. Up until the very last sentence you're treated with a barrage of action from the characters in the book. If you enjoy fast pace action, you'll enjoy this.
The narration to me was average at best and annoying at worse in places. The story is strong enough though to have you wanting to listen to the book despite.
The most annoying part of all this is having to wait on yet another book to see how this is all going to unfold....
"The privileges we take for granted....."
It is one thing to read in the papers about the often times nameless and faceless individuals that are killed due to senseless killings in the Middle East due to the Taliban. It is also so easy to take for granted the simple pleasures and privileges that a peaceful and relatively liberal society brings. "I Am Malala" is one of those books that makes you not only thankful for the little privileges that you have but also admire the power that is the human spirit as well.
The story is the story of Malala. While I might not see this as a piece that was written extraordinarily well with fancy words or whatever, it's content is without a doubt what sets it apart. The book could use some editing and a thesaurus at points however when one thinks that it was written by a young woman, you get to appreciate the writing style for what it is. As much as I think living in the time and place she lived in forced her to mature beyond her years, I also despite that she was/is an extraordinary young woman to have created this. The depth in the book is truly inspiring and eye opening as well. The fight she fought for the right for education is something I think very few could do.I found myself torn between both respecting and being disappointed in her father at parts of the book because it is nothing short of miraculous that Malala was able to survive what she went through (past of it due to her father's ambition to an extent). It clearly is something that shaped and built her though and there is no doubt in my mind that her father cared and still does care for her greatly.
The narration is what I expected it to be. It would have been vastly disappointing if the narration was not even at least bearable; fortunately it was not only bearable but done very well. The narration did well to compliment the excellent content in the book and left a memorable impact on me.
Overall, this book was one of the highlights of my 2013 reading list. It stood out to me in a positive and put faces to a tragedy that is going on right at this very moment. For anyone who finds themselves complacent and downright unappreciative for the privilege that it is to be able to learn freely.... this book should be read. The ability and privilege to learn should never be taken for granted.
"The other side of Tufo"
I must say, this was pretty much a very interesting one. Whilst going through Tufo's work you find that there are two very distinct sides to his write.... The witty, sarcastic, slightly neurotic side that we have come to get used to with Mike Talbot (zombie fallout version) and his gang. There is also this side; a very dark and twisted Mark Tufo who creates books such as these... One thing that combines all Mark Tufo novels I have ever come across is that they're good....
The story itself is an interesting take on the Mike Talbot story. The alternate reality that has been created here provides interesting questions regarding life after death. It gives a more tangible face to death in a sense. You find yourself empathizing with Mike throughout most of the boo, essentially just wanting him to catch a break. The ending is somewhat bitter sweet but also rather fitting when you take into consideration the whole story.
"Incest is in?"
Yeah it hits rock bottom right here no doubt.... I do get that a lot of people like this book but why I don't know.... Maybe it was because there were a couple interesting characters or maybe it's because they just link all books related to the wonderful world of magic.
Again, like the first book, I like the concept; in fact the concept of the book in and of itself allows for the book to have a whole lot of potential. That however can not take away from the shoddy story itself. Sadly there wasn't any real growth between the first and the second story in terms of writing style (not from my vantage point at least).
I found a number of disturbing concepts in this book that I just am flabbergasted that the author and their editor allowed to go on in this book. I was telling a friend of mine about the book and their take is that way too much was going on in the book and I agreed wholeheartedly.
For one.... If you have made it this far you know that the main character is 'supposedly' the sister of another main character (and I put that in quotations because I can't possibly see this being the case by the end of the book series). The disturbing part about this is that they are in love.... And we are not talking about the platonic type here.... I am talking about the 'I swoon every time I see you/I want to kiss you so much/you smell like sweet lavender and the heavens part/awkward and wanting staring' type of love. Oh and yes.... they know or at least believe without a semblance of a doubt that they are brother and sister. I mean I know they didn't know they were brother and sister but seriously, they only knew each other for what I can only think is a week (2 the max) before they found out they were related, I am thinking that there is no way you can be THAT in love with someone that the whole idea of them being your blood sibling doesn't nip the whole I-want-your-body feeling they are harboring.
Disturbing fact two.... So we have a Alec in this book. I don't have an issue with him being gay, bi, confused or whatever. That being said the dude is 17 I think and is romantically involved with a warlock that's older than his mom, dad and grandparents' ages combined... No kidding.
Disturbing fact three.... This is the second most grievous aspect of the book for me. Simon. This dude is in love with the main female character who he's been friends with for years. Understandable of course but the thing that got me *major spoiler alert by the way* home boy gets turned into a vampire. By the end of the novel he somehow becomes able to walk in the sunlight (he doesn't sparkle though thankfully). Apparently this spares him from having to tell his mother that he is a souless, blood-sucking demon who will likely remain ageless and dash all of her hopes of having grandchildren (of the human variety at least) from him.
Disturbing fact four.... Well this wasn't too disturbing but moreso annoying. The uselessness of practically every adult character in the novel. This wasn't as the level of the first book but I still find it hard to believe that the adult characters can be as misguided and just plain as inept as most of them appeared to be by the end of the novel.
Now that I have gone through the disturbing facts; lets talk about the narration. The narration here is at best, forgettable and at worse jarring to the senses.
"2 Stars because it actually gets worse...."
So yeah.... I am glad I listened to the first and the 2nd book before I wrote this review because whilst this book left a bitter taste in my mouth.... the 2nd book left me downright gagging. But yeah, this review isn't about the 2nd book.... It's about the horror that was the first book.
Let me start off by saying I am a big fan of fantasy literature... It's more than likely my most preferred type of book to read. I also really like the concept of this book. I actually found myself more intrigued about the 'world' they were living in within the confines of the book than the actual story itself. This goes to show how much potential this book had. In fact one of the main reasons I went to the second book in this series was because I was fascinated by the world they were living in.
The story though.... The story.... was just upsetting to me. I am hardly too gung ho about the whole 'fated' lover thing, I mean not that I am completely grossed out by the thought of being in love but at 15, 16 or 17.... But that's just one thing, the writing is far from a work of art, it sounds like something a high school student would write (an above average high school student but a high school student none the less). I'm confused as to how and why the adult characters in this book can be so utterly irrelevant (except maybe for one or two adult characters in the book). The 'twist' in or near the end... Sadly I saw it coming... I was hoping the author wouldn't go there... but the author went there.... and it was and is disturbing.
The narration leaves much to be desired. It wasn't the worse that I have ever heard but it's right up there.... or maybe I should say down there.... either way it's not good.
"I'm Interested"
I went through this title quickly (as in less than one day quickly) which simply means that it was good enough to keep me interested for the entire length of the book. I actually didn't expect it to be as good as it was (having just completed the let down that is Allegiant) but I was pleasantly surprised. It had interesting characters, awesome plot twists and even a seemingly well thought out storyline.
In this title the government seems to be at it again in yet another futuristic world. We have two genius kids who are pit against each other due to a series of unfortunate circumstances. The author doesn't shy away from death which I appreciate (I always find it way too coincidental when I read books like these and no one of somewhat importance dies in the book). The characters all seem to be rather interesting as they currently are and the book leaves a whole lot of room for growth in them which will be particularly interesting to see. Another nice thing about this title is the action. When it started to pick up... It really picked up.... Fast and furious action which was actually of the believable nature more often than not.
The only disconcerting thing I find is their love at first sight thing that seemed to permeate the fated meeting between Day and June. I get they would be automatically intrigued (at least) by each other if only for the mere fact that they both probably are of genius IQ proportions (like things such as those either have the effect of bonding or repulsing you), but they seemed to have fallen head over heels for each other pretty quickly.
I liked the narration when the Steven Kaplan (the male narrator) was doing it.... I had to get used to Mariel Stern (the female narrator) which I am pretty sure shouldn't be the case; midway through the book I really didn't mind her much. They did a credible job at getting the story across which I am pretty psyched about.
I must say, all in all I am interested and intend to blaze through all these books.... Yup..... I'm interested.
"Yes! Yes! Yes! AWESOMENESS!"
I have been experiencing Zombie Fallout withdrawal, I know that there are other Mark Tufo books and all of them scratches that itch of Tufo-ism I have needed but none compare to the epicness of Zombie Fallout with Mike, his family, BT + Tommy facing a Zombie Apocalypse and all that it entails.
I am a scientist at heart, a theoretical Chemist to be exact so I express myself well in the form of equation. I will use an equation to describe the narration:
Sean Runnette + Mark Tufo = Perfection!
That's just it.... Absolute PERFECTION. I don't know what fate put this author and this narrator together but to the powers that be... Thank you!
Now this book is just plain exciting... There are so many moments that you are at the edge of your seat... And if you are a true fan of the art of Tufo-ism then you find a couple references to other books in the Talbot Universe (Callis Rose reference the most obvious there) which is always a trip. You have that dry sarcasm teeming from Mike Talbot, the mismatched thought processes of Trip along with his poor wife who is just perpetually confused by her husband, the downright brutish nature of BT, the crafty and hard to kill Mrs. Denou.... With the death of Eliza, Mike has to find a new quest and the quest here is simply to find a cure for his son and his best friend. This book was the nice combination of action as well as plot development.
The book put me in a rather peculiar conundrum.... One where I couldn't help but make my way through this title, and also definitely not wanting it to end. It ended all too soon for me.... There will be more though. Thankfully there will be more! So my only problem with this title is..... I have to wait for book 8.
"Beautiful, Tragic, Beaitiful & Honest"
So this is one of those rare titles that you best listen to on a weekend when you have NOTHING better to do with your time. Why? The book is so exceptionally enthralling that you will find yourself immediately drawn into the story if you are even remotely a fan of literature of this kind. The narration was faultless and the story was tragic but honest and done so well. Absolutely superb.
I think this book has the potential to polarize an audience. I say this because the topics the book touches... topics such as high school, suicide and date rape... all these topics are highly sensitive. These also are topics that some are not comfortable talking about and are in general very 'heavy' emotions to deal with. The book comes off as that, heavy.... riddled with feelings and emotions... That being said the somewhat heavy tone lends to making each portion of this book seem meaningful in some way. You know a book is great when it feels organic in a sense and unforced which was exactly what this was.You knew the outcome of the novel, the tragic end of the girl who left the tapes, and yet you find yourself engrossed in the novel from beginning to end.
I agree that this book is tragic and if you are looking for a happy ending then you will miss out here. I mean yes, there is some amounts of closure and the main character here does find some sort of redemption in the end but there can be no true happy ending in a book where one of the main characters commits suicide. What appeals most me though in this book is the honesty.... it's tragic, it sucks but it's also true and it needs to be told. It also helps that the book is written so beautifully with the phrasing, the pauses, the choice of words being just plain immaculate.
It's the sort of book that makes you want to be a bit nicer to people for the mere reason that you never know what they are going through and you never know if maybe they are teetering at the edge of their breaking point. It makes you want to ask someone "how are you" and actually mean it.... Sharing a kind word with someone just for the mere fact that you can just in case.
The book had that ability to bring me back to some not so nice moments in my own life maybe not as bad as what Hannah went through but bad in its own right (I think everyone goes through something like this at one point or another) and it made me thankful for it not 'snowballing' as it did with Hannah because really, who knows how different I would have been now?
When I finished the book and told a certain someone about it, they told me I shouldn't 'gush' about it in my review.... Well.... I am gushing and I believe this book was absolutely worth every moment of gushing. I mean I went through this book cover to cover in one sitting.... For a usual busy body like me doing 1 million things at once that truly is a task for a book to accomplish.
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a sobering and honest title. To break up the monotony of sci-fi or action or romance or fantasy or whatever you're accustomed to. To delve in the mind of someone who simply was pushed too much... Where a series of unfortunate occurrences snowballed into something tragic... Something, that if you take the time out to reflect on and really allow to marinate within you can actually make you a better person after you finish it....
"I hate it when this happens"
I'm judging this book harshly based mostly on two facts: the potential it had and the actual story. Normally I give the performance a greater rating but the great performance could not wash the taste of disappointment from my mouth. Maybe it's because I set myself up with these huge expectations based on the potential I saw in the books prior to this one but then this one...
The narration was great as I stated above, makes it absolutely bearable to listen to the book... Both Emma (who spoke as Tris) and Aaron (the voice of Four) really did awesome jobs at truly giving these characters a voice and even a body in a sense. The pacing wasn't rushed; the tones were great.... there really isn't much that can be taken away from the narration here. A star is removed from narration because even though it's great, a 5 star narration can only be achieved by a combination of great narration WITH a great story... The story let this down.
Now on to the story..... *glares viciously* This book reminded me of another book I had high hopes for which just fizzled.... fizzled into annoyance. Let me start with the MAJOR bone I had to pick with this book.... CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT.... Yes... The major characters grew but every single one of them (and yes I get they should be damaged and scarred or whatever) became way too absorbed in their past and way TOO damaged. I also found them hypocritical, just so amazing hypocritical. I don't want to ruin the story so I won't actually say what happened but you will know what I am talking about when you actually going through it. The author seemed to have been trying hard to NOT be like The Hunger Games and ended up just being completely unbelievable to me (the government would/could not let it go like that if you ask me). The writer wanted to end it bitter-sweet and a bit tragic but by the end of the novel I had gotten so annoyed with the characters I saw the ending downright fitting (albeit unbelievable in a sense, again... you don't mess with a government branch and the government just sits passively by after the fact). The major problem with the trilogy.... it lacked direction.... I came away from this book feeling that the author had no idea how to end this book, she started the trilogy not knowing how to end the trilogy and for the sake of ending it at the trilogy rushed it and butchered what could have been a great novel. I absolutely HATE when this happens.... The good about this book is that it had some really good writing, in terms of the use of words. It also had some really nice quote worthy moments, quotes mostly about human nature that even though a bit cliché but absolutely resounding.
The book had potential but completely failed in realizing its potential if you ask me. A strong first book, an exciting second book and this... this was just upsetting to me.
