Good teams beat Bad teams. Our games against quality opponents have been contestable and sometimes unlucky though losses. Just gotta build on it and continue to learn from it. The fact that we don't keep the score close against bad teams is a major bright spot. Good to see we are able to maintain consistent play and outclass opponents instead of playing down to them.

Last few years, we've had a suspect defense who couldn't get us the ball back if Cam made a mistake. I think it's kind of too early to tell just yet, but our defense looks promising so far and it should allow us to Unleash Cam and allow us to be more aggressive. We'll see though.

I'm not sure if this is exactly your issue but internet throttling is a huge issue lately. Especially if you play League of Legends.. This thread kind of explains some of it..
tl;dr there's diff types of ISPs and there's a disagreement between them and they're being shitheads and giving bad service until someone gives in and pays extra money. It's not necessarily just Comcast either.
I'm one of the many people who have this problem with really good internet but I can't play a game I like without huge ass lag spikes (500ms up to 16000ms lag spikes). Packet shaping ftl.
I've been using http://www.internethealthreport.com/ to check and see when a good time to play would be.

Did Panthers drop the Ball?
The Alan Ball-to-Carolina deal wasn't done after all.
A week after the free agent cornerback visited the Panthers -- and a couple of media outlets reported he had signed with Carolina or was about to -- Ball signed a one-year deal with Chicago on Friday, the Bears announced.
League sources told the Observer last week the two sides had discussed contract parameters for a one-year deal worth $2 million, with $1 million guaranteed.
Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman indicated at the owners meeting that Ball and free agent wideout Greg Jennings, who also visited Carolina last week, wanted to make sure the Panthers were a good fit.
"Think about it this way, Alan's a 29-year-old veteran. Greg Jennings is 32. They don't want to become gypsies. Both of those guys are married. They're grounded, good people," Gettleman said in Phoenix.
"For both of them, the fit is really important. So we kicked the tires on each other, that's what we did."
Ball grew up in Michigan and played collegiately at Illinois. It sounds like it was mostly a case of him returning to his Midwestern roots.
"I'm excited," Ball told the Bears' web site. "I'm honored actually. Being in Detroit growing up, watching the Bears my whole life, going to the University of Illinois, I'm honored to be here."
The prevailing thought was by signing Ball, the Panthers could move second-year corner Bene' Benwikere to nickel back full-time.
And while playing inside against a slot receiver might be Benwikere's best position, Gettleman said Benwikere has shown he has the speed to match up with receivers on the outside, as well.
"People get caught up in 40-yard dash times. We evaluate guys based on play speed. And the proof's in the pudding," said Gettleman. "He has the play speed to be outside. But it's a competition and the best guy plays. Obviously, we know he can play the nickel and he's good at it."

Panthers awarded two compensatory picks
PHOENIX -- The Panthers picked up a pair of compensatory picks Monday -- a fifth-rounder and a sixth-rounder -- in the NFL's annual awarding of draft picks for free agents gained and lost.
With the two compensatory picks, the Panthers have a total of nine selections in the draft, which is April 30 to May 2 in Chicago.
The NFL determines compensatory picks based on a formula that weighs the salary, playing time and postseason honors for free agents teams acquired and lost the previous offseason.
The Panthers lost receivers Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn Jr. (since re-acquired) and Domenik Hixon and defensive backs Mike Mitchell and Captain Munnerlyn.
They signed cornerback Antoine Cason, receiver Jerricho Cotchery and tight end Ed Dickson.
All-time leading receiver Steve Smith signed with Baltimore after the Panthers cut him, so he did not factor into the comp pick formula.
Three times the Panthers have received three comp picks, most recently in 2011. They have been awarded a total of 16 in their history.

Jones: A look at Gurley's potential fit with Panthers
Todd Gurley is in Charlotte visiting with the Panthers today, making the former Georgia tailback one of the first visits Carolina has had this draft season.
A Tarboro native, Gurley called the Panthers a "great organization" after UGA's pro day Wednesday. Carolina gets 30 in-house visits, so Gurley isn't the first, last or only player the team will talk to. Could he be the pick for Carolina at No. 25 in April's draft?
Gurley the player: He was second-team All-SEC as a freshman running back, which is almost unheard of, after rushing for 1,385 yards. In 2013 he had 989 yards after missing three games with an ankle injury. And last season, despite missing seven games (more on that later), he still had 911 rushing yards.
Last year's season opener against Clemson proved Gurley was the best running back in the nation. He had 198 yards on just 15 carries while scoring three times. His speed and power are unmatched in this draft class, and really any of the recent drafts as well.
He may still be the top running back taken in the draft, but he may not be due to…
Injury history: Along with the ankle in 2013, Gurley tore his ACL against Auburn in November. Gurley told reporters Wednesday he plans to be healthy and ready to perform at an NFL minicamp in June.
That timeline may be a bit optimistic. On the low end, ACLs usually take eight months to recover from. If a team spends a first-round pick on Gurley, they'd likely tell him to take June off, rehab, and be ready to go for training camp in late July and early August.
He did not allow doctors to examine his knee at the combine. When teams, like Carolina, bring in a player for an in-house visit, they can do medical exams on players.
No doubt if Carolina is serious about Gurley, his knee will be examined and re-examined.
Character concerns: The NCAA suspended Gurley for four games mid-season last year for accepting $3,000 in exchange for signing memorabilia. While that gets you suspended in college, the NFL cares not about that.
What's it say that a young man was trying to profit, as he should, from his celebrity? It means he's doing what every student-athlete should be able to do. As for the counterargument of "he put his team in jeopardy for being selfish"? This instance doesn't translate to the professional level. Also, read up on how Gurley was found out because of a spurned Florida fan.
Gurley's fit in Carolina: The Panthers just released their all-time leading rusher, leaving them with Jonathan Stewart and Fozzy Whittaker as their top-two backs. Stewart and Whittaker have both dealt with injuries throughout their career, and the Panthers have shown their willing to take a running back in the draft after selecting Tyler Gaffney in the sixth round last year.
Stewart and Gurley both possess a speed-power blend, so putting them together in 2015 may not make sense. But what about the future? Stewart carries a cap hit of $9.5 million and $8.2 million in 2016 and 2017, much more than what Gurley would be on a rookie deal.
The big question is: will Gurley even be available at 25? Before the ACL tear he was the best running back in the draft, and in my estimation he still is. Yes, taking a 20-year-old with a repaired knee with a first-round pick is dangerous, but turn on this guy's tape and you'll see that if he can get back to that—or even close to it—he's worth it.
The running back position has been devalued in recent drafts. Last year, no running back was taken until Bishop Sankey with the 54th overall pick. That won't be the case this year with Gurley and Melvin Gordon.
Dave Gettleman's best-player-available philosophy would be put to the test if the surgically-repaired Gurley is there with the Panthers on the clock at 25. In my opinion, there wouldn't be anyone better.

Former teammate says Hardy 'unmanageable' at times
With former Panthers defensive end Greg Hardy reportedly set to choose between Tampa Bay and Dallas on Wednesday, one of his old teammates had a "buyer beware" message for Hardy's new team.
Ex-Panthers tight end Ben Hartsock, while praising Hardy's playing ability, told a Dallas radio station the embattled free agent could be "unmanageable" at times in Charlotte.
"The Greg Hardy that was on the field was going to be a nightmare for the opposing team. But then you go in and everybody is in the hot tub or the cold tub after practice just shooting the breeze and the guy carries on a very reasonable, level-headed inquisitive type of conversation," Hartsock told ESPN 103.3, via ESPN.com's Todd Archer.
"Then there are other times when he's just unmanageable. And that's why I think things have gotten in trouble with his personal life. He's going have to go a long ways to earn the trust of any organization, whether it be Dallas or any other franchise across the league. His reputation has now become an Achilles heel."
Hardy, still awaiting word from the NFL on a possible suspension for his domestic violence case, was benched for the start of at least two games in Carolina for being late to meetings and/or practice.
He also wrecked his motorcycle in 2011, and tweeted a photo of him apparently driving his Bentley 100 mph.
Those lapses in judgment paled in comparison to the allegations made by ex-girlfriend Nicole Holder, who says Hardy threw her around his condo and tossed her on to a futon covered with semi-automatic weapons during an altercation last May.
The charges were thrown out when Holder, who received a settlement from Hardy, failed to show up for the jury trial in February.
Panthers defensive tackle Dwan Edwards told the Observer last week he understood the Panthers' decision to part ways with Hardy, saying "it's bigger than football sometimes."
Now Hartsock is sounding his own cautionary note on a player who had 15 sacks in 2013 during his last full season.
"Like I said, there aren't many people like him on the planet that can play and that can do the things that he does," Hartsock told ESPN 103.3. "But we are also in an NFL environment right now where any off-the-field liability is frowned upon very strongly."

DT Colin Cole re-signs with Panthers
Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman makes no secret about his affinity for big linemen -- and he's bringing back one of the biggest on the roster.
Defensive tackle Colin Cole has re-signed with the Panthers on a one-year deal worth $1.05 million, a league source told the Observer on Tuesday.
ESPN's John Clayton was the first to report the signing.
Cole, 6-2 and 330 pounds, has been part of the Panthers' interior line rotation the past two seasons. And though he turns 35 in June, Cole was out of the NFL for two seasons before the Panthers signed him in 2013.
Dwan Edwards, another member of the defensive tackle rotation, also is set to become a free agent next month.
Edwards' agent has met with the Panthers, and it's possible the 33-year-old Edwards returns, as well.
Cole and Edwards are the veterans of a group that includes third-year tackles Star Lotulelei and Kawann Short, Carolina's first- and second-round picks in 2013.

Panthers interested in Ginn, recently visited with Oher
The Carolina Panthers are interested in bringing back return specialist Ted Ginn, although they're not the only team eyeing him.
A league source said the Panthers plan to reach out to Ginn, who also is drawing interest from his home-state Cleveland Browns.
Ginn enjoyed a career resurgence with the Panthers in 2013 after three disappointing years in San Francisco. He left in free agency last offseason for Arizona, which cut him Monday after Ginn posted some of the worst return numbers of his career.
Carolina's return game struggled last season without Ginn, who will turn 30 in April.
Another potential Panthers' target hit the market Wednesday when Baltimore cut receiver/returner Jacoby Jones.
Carolina tried to sign Jones in 2012 before he signed with Baltimore. Jones was one of the Ravens' postseason heroes that season, scoring on a 108-yard kickoff return that was the longest in Super Bowl history.
The Panthers also need a left tackle, and recently visited with one of the most famous ones in recent history.
Former Baltimore and Tennessee tackle Michael Oher, who was the inspiration for the movie, "The Blind Side," recently visited the Panthers, the Baltimore Sun reported Wednesday.
Oher's rise from the streets of Memphis to a full ride at Mississippi was chronicled in the 2009 film. Oher arrived in the NFL with much fanfare as a first-round pick of the Ravens in 2009.
And while he's never been to a Pro Bowl and is coming off a toe injury that ended his 2014 season early, Oher could be a solution for a Panthers team that is not re-signing enigmatic left tackle Byron Bell.
Oher, 28, started 80 consecutive games in his five seasons with Baltimore, where he played both right and left tackle.
But Oher was ranked among the 10 worst tackles in the league last year by Pro Football Focus in his only season with the Titans.
Tennessee released him on Feb. 5 with a waived-injured designation, less than a year after signing a five-year, $20 million contract with the Titans. He played 11 games at right tackle for Tennessee before going on injured reserve after hurting his toe.
Oher is believed to be almost completely recovered, according to the Sun's report.

Williams upset at Panthers' lack of support following mother's death
It wasn't the "blood and guts" franchise receiver leader Steve Smith wished upon the Panthers following his release last year, but longtime running back DeAngelo Williams had his own parting shot while revealing to Charlotte's WBTV the Panthers plan to release him.
Williams, the Panthers' all-time rushing leader, told WBTV he was angry at the Panthers' lack of response following the death of his mother last spring following a long battle with breast cancer.
"To know that a place of business that you've worked for and that you've bled, you've played through injuries, you did everything you possibly can for this organization to be successful, and then upon your darkest hour they let you handle it by yourself," Williams said in the interview that aired Monday night.
After his mother, Sandra Hill, died last May, Williams said he spoke by phone with coach Ron Rivera and GM Dave Gettleman, each of whom expressed their regrets.WBTV 3 News, Weather, Sports, and Traffic for Charlotte, NC
But only one person from the organization attended the funeral in Arkansas -- embattled defensive end Greg Hardy.
Williams said he received a note from owner Jerry Richardson, but only after Williams had written a piece about his mom for Sports Illustrated's Monday Morning QB, which was published two weeks after her death.
Williams told WBTV's Molly Grantham that Richardson apologized to him in July, and that the franchise has since adopted a policy to improve their response when a player has a death in the family.
But Williams said he was stung by the lack of sympathy from the Panthers when he lost his mother, who was the impetus for the NFL's breast cancer awareness efforts during October games.
"I was so upset with Carolina because for the last five or six years during October she was celebrated. But then when she's no longer here, let's move on."

Thomas Davis to receive key to the city Monday night
Panthers linebacker Thomas Davis, who last month was awarded the NFL's Walter Payton Man of the Year award, will receive the key to the city at Monday night's Charlotte City Council meeting.
The honor will take place at the 6:15 p.m. meeting where Charlotte mayor Dan Clodfelter will present the veteran linebacker with the honor.
"The Key to the City is presented to an esteemed citizen and trusted friend of the city's residents," Clodfelter said in a statement. "Through his foundation and other charitable acts, Mr. Davis has proven his commitment to empowering young Charlotteans as they pursue their dreams."
Davis, 31, has established an after-school learning academy, works with the Levine's Children's Hospital and does an annual Christmas shopping spree with local children through his Thomas Davis Defending Dreams Foundation.
Last month before the Super Bowl, Davis was honored as the NFL's Walter Payton Man of the Year for his work off the field.
"There's so much negativity that's going on in this league and so much that's being reported. I just feel like we're in a position where we can make a difference," Davis said that night. "We can do so much with the platform and the voice that we have right now. It's up to us to take advantage of it."

Rivera, Gettleman talk Newton, Hardy and tackles
Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman and coach Ron Rivera both addressed the media Thursday at the scouting combine in Indianapolis.
Five quick takeaways:
1-The writing is on the wall for Greg Hardy.
Both Rivera and Gettleman declined to comment specifically about Hardy, who remains on the exempt list while the league investigates his domestic violence case.
But it was telling that Gettleman said he hasn't spoken with Hardy since mid-September when he went on the exempt list, and has had only minimal contact with Drew Rosenhaus, Hardy's agent.
And when discussing drafting players with character issues, Gettleman said: "Who wants a ticking time bomb?"
2-Don't dismiss DeAngelo Williams, yet.
There has been a lot of speculation the Panthers might cut Williams, who is coming off an injury-plagued season and turns 32 in April.
Gettleman and Rivera recently sat down with Williams, and Rivera called it a good meeting.
The only time Gettleman met with Steve Smith last year was when he told him he was cutting him.
3-The Panthers will explore all their options at left tackle.
Neither Gettleman nor Rivera ruled out bringing Byron Bell back, although Gettleman said this year's tackle class is deeper than last year's top-heavy group.
Rivera said the Panthers would look at free agent tackles and college tackles -- as well as Bell, who will be an unrestricted free agent next month -- as part of their evaluation process.
4-Cam Newton is feeling good.
Newton, who is expected to finish his degree at Auburn this semester, was in Charlotte recently and told Rivera he's as healthy as he's been in a long time.
Gettleman wouldn't discuss Newton's contract status, but said -- again -- that Newton is the team's long-term quarterback.
5-The need for speed.
Watching the playoff loss to Seattle only reinforced Rivera's belief that the Panthers need to get faster -- and not just at skill positions.
The Panthers' injection of youth and speed late in the season helped spur the December run into the playoffs. But Rivera said there are still areas where the Panthers can get faster.
Given No. 1 on this list, expect the Panthers' scouts and coaches to keep a close eye on the edge rushers here this week.

Panthers cut Thomas DeCoud after one season
The Panthers have started taking small steps toward the March 12 start of free agency.
The team announced Tuesday afternoon it released safety Thomas DeCoud after signing the seven-year veteran to a two-year contract last offseason.
DeCoud, who inked a two-year deal worth $3.525 million last year, didn't have the speed the Panthers needed in the defensive backfield in 2014 and was replaced late in the season with rookie Tre Boston.
It's the second cut for DeCoud in as many years. He signed a five-year, $17.5 million contract before the 2012 season. He went on to play in the Pro Bowl after that season.
But Atlanta cut him following the 2013 season and the Panthers picked him up as they retooled their secondary.
He had just one interception and two passes defensed for Carolina in 2014. When Boston returned to the lineup from a groin strain, the rookie surpassed DeCoud on the depth chart.
By cutting DeCoud, the Panthers should save almost $1.9 million in cap space for 2015.
The Panthers also confirmed they signed offensive guard Chris Scott to a one-year deal. Scott was set to be a restricted free agent.

Visual Arts, Brock University
"As a creative and documentary activity, photography is a form of research, an inquiring of the world without and within. Physically it skates across the surface of a sheet of paper (or glass), penetrating only the interior realms of our imagination. It is a process which seeks to describe, navigate and map out a subject whether physical, or intellectual. It seeks to represent, yet can never capture the totality of any subject thus there is always incompleteness and blindness at its core. Photography is an elusive process with a delectable futility at its core.
In Camera Lucida, Roland Barthes observed that "every photograph is a certificate of presence." Presencia is a brief meditation on the mystery and elusive poetics of photography, and a reflection on the presences within these cultural artifacts. An archaeological rumination on the thematic and subjective choices on the part of the photographer, it also reflects on the nature of perception and how we absorb/read these artifacts of presence.
Presencia is a video-poem that invites the viewer to ponder the function and magic of time and the senses, and through its digital assembly (and presentation) frames the contemporary proliferation of digital imagery within a historical context."

'Bloatware' Becoming a Problem On Android Phones 415
from the maybe-they're-just-pregnant dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Is this an issue that the free market should settle (i.e. If you don't want bloatware, research your phone and reward another company with your funds)?
Is this an issue that regulation should settle (something about property rights? selling what some would call a defective product? fraud?)
Of course it's "open," you just have to jailbreak it first!
Shovelware, Bloatware, Crapware, pre-installed software, Windows Vista,
they're all interchangable really.
Im giving away free chocolate bars!
Did I mention they are at the bottom of the ocean?
Bloatware is when the user bought a fart app, which also queefs.
It's open, just not to you. But doesn't feel so much better to be fucked over by a corporation that uses Open Source software ?
I remember the good old days when Android fans made fun of the iPhone because some people did a jailbreak to install software, now those same people have to jailbreak their phones to be able to uninstall some software. Oh the irony.
> That is becoming harder and harder every new model.
Not really. It's just Motorola phones that are crippled by design. With HTC and Samsung phones, at least, rooting is more like climbing over a low, wide wall that's lightly textured to make the experience a little bit unpleasant. Truth be told, I'll bet there are more than a few employees at HTC, Samsung, and probably Sprint & T-Mobile who'd LOVE to be running ads right now comparing Verizon and/or Motorola to Soviet Russia and East Berlin, but can't get management to sign off on them
Fantasy Sprint/T-Mobile commercial:
Cute Google Android strapped face-down onto table that looks like a steampunk cross between a horizontal electric chair and a guillotine. Evil guy wearing military-looking uniform (with stylized 'V' logo) pulls out DroidX and cackles (screen wallpaper depicts Berlin Wall), grabs a thick cable with mean-looking plug on the end (like the ones used in the US for 3-phase 480v AC) and says, 'Vee have vays of dealing mit rootuzerz...' while plugging the cable into the Android's ass. Cut to hand grabbing Frankenstein-style knife switch, engaging the power, and a buzzing, high-voltage type noise that just happens to resonate in a way that sounds like the word "Droid!" at the end of a Verizon commercial being yelped in pain.
I'd call it "bundleware," which is relatively precise without being a loaded term.
It's a pre-loaded term.
It's hard to think of you as the end result of millions of years of evolution.

Diversity drives growth. (I knew you'd get it!) Image via Wikipedia
Just finished up our first Global Diversity Leadership Exchange here at NYSE. It was a great, great conversation about ways to move diversity forward globally and have people embrace its role in creating growth and value. I learned so much from so many people in the room, both on and off the stage.
It was both humbling and energizing to hear leaders in the field tell of the complexity and difficulty of some of the issues, as well as the absolute business importance of continuing to move forward, no matter where you are on the path.
I tweeted some of those learnings -- as did many others – under the hashtag #globaldiversity. You can also see the accompanying conversation on Facebook.
Resolve to do my best to put these learnings into action, and to keep this new conversation going. On the latter, here's an excerpt of my opening remarks at today's gathering. This is just the core of it -- minus the formalities. As always, welcome your thoughts and comments.
As many companies do, one of the ways we instill diversity as a core value in our culture is to include diversity awareness and management tools in our management training classes. When I speak with one of those classes, I start by asking the group to look at my face, because my face is the face of diversity and inclusion.
Now, this face – wonderful though my mother insists it is – is not the face anyone thinks of when they think of diversity and inclusion. They think of women. People of color. People of different ethnicities.
Diversity surely is about all of those groups – and others – but it is about me as well, and not because I'm on our Diversity Council. It's about me because I'm a manager here.
It's about me because I'm responsible not just for managing projects and deadlines and budgets. As a manager, I'm responsible for helping to create a diverse and inclusive work environment. Our success depends on our ability to do just that.
As managers here, we have to create an environment where everyone feels they can speak up and share their ideas and perspectives, so that together we can develop the most innovative solutions for our customers.
As managers, we have to create an environment where everyone gets an opportunity to realize their career potential, so that we attract and develop the most competitive workforce among global exchange groups.
As managers, we have to create an environment where the diversity of our people gives us a stronger, richer, more meaningful connection with our global community of customers, investors, regulators and the public.
In short, our managers are responsible for creating an environment that enables us to lead in a financial landscape that is global, hyper-competitive, and driven by innovative ideas, services and technologies.
So managing diversity and inclusion is absolutely an essential part of my work, and that of every one of my 3,000 colleagues around the world. Creating that environment is everyone's responsibility. We are all, together, the face of diversity and inclusion.
To me, that's what we're here to talk about today. The business impact of diversity. The business case for diversity, and how we make that case on a global scale.
That global theme is also underscored by the news of the day. If you've seen the news this morning, you know that the European Commission has just turned down a merger we were proposing with the Germany's Deutsche Börse. Our CEO Duncan Niederauer just sent a note to all our staff, saying in part – and I quote: "We will remain focused on empowering the world's capital markets community to innovate and collaborate."
So there couldn't be a more fitting time and place for leaders of our community to come together, right here in this room, to advance the conversation about diversity as a driver of global business.

VMware vSphere
A server virtualization platform from VMware. VMware vSphere debuted in 2009 as the successor to the company's flagship VMware Infrastructure solution, and it serves as a complete platform for implementing and managing virtual machine (VM) infrastructure on a large scale.
Also referred to as a cloud operating system or virtualized data center platform, VMware vSphere enables IT departments to efficiently place application workloads on the most cost-effective compute resource available.
VMware vSphere includes the VMware ESX / ESXi hypervisor, a type 1 hypervisor that functions as the virtualization server; the VMware vCenter Server, which manages vSphere environments; the VMware vSphere Client, which is used to install and manage virtual machines through the hypervisor; and VMware VMFS, the file system component from VMware.
VMware vSphere competes in the server virtualization market amongst products like Microsoft Windows Server 2012 with Hyper-V, Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV) and open-source alternatives like the Xen hypervisor.
Recent Changes in VMware vSphere 5 and Beyond
With the debut of VMware vSphere 5.0, the company introduced a vRAM pricing model that frustrated many existing customers, leading VMware to eventually scrape the RAM-based pricing model for a per-CPU socket model that debuted with VMware vSphere 5.1.
The latest version of vSphere, 5.5 Update 1, was released in early 2014. VMware vSphere can also now be purchased as part of the company's new VMware vCloud Suite.

It may have been ugly, but DL baseball wins first section playoff game
It wasn't pretty, but the end result -- a win -- was all that mattered for the Detroit Lakes baseball team.
Collecting only three hits in the first round of the Section 8-2A playoffs, the No. 2 Lakers were able to take advantage of seven walks by the visiting No. 7 seed Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton and turn it into a 6-2 victory.
"We won and that's all we were playing for," said DL head coach Steve Fuhs. "Now, we hope we can play better in the next round."

It was 29 years ago today that the Rainbow Warrior came to rest at the bottom of the port of Auckland after her bombing by French secret service agents. She took Fernando with her. We will always remember both.
I was not there, but I remember the ...

Check out the live webcam images
After 22 tireless years at the campaigning frontline, the second Rainbow Warrior retired from her Greenpeace life on 16 August 2011.
The ship – which replaced the original Rainbow Warrior after it was bombed in 1985 – helped end nuclear testing in the Pacific, blocked coal ports and closed down destructive fishing operations (to name but a few).
It's a very proud legacy – and the third Rainbow Warrior, which entered operation on 14 October 2011, is better equipped to carry it on than any Greenpeace ship before her.
Ever since the first Greenpeace expedition set off in a ramshackle old fishing vessel we have relied on existing vessels refitted to meet our needs. With the new Rainbow Warrior, we had the chance to start with a blank canvas for the first time.
A fast and reliable vessel The new Rainbow Warrior is as fast as many industrial vessels, with action boats that can be deployed in minutes – even in waves up to 3.5 metres high. Her helicopter landing pad means we can deploy a vital eye in the sky, enabling us to spot illegal fishing operations and shipments of illegal wood.
A base for science The ship can carry specialised equipment up to 8 tonnes in weight. It's designed so that scientists can work on board. By supporting original scientific research we help build understanding of what is happening to our planet's ecosystems.
A floating communications hub The on-board satellite communications system – featuring a built-in satellite uplink – means the new Rainbow Warrior is able to stream live footage from the scene of environmental crimes direct to the world's media.
We wanted the third Rainbow Warrior to be as environmentally-friendly as possible for a ship of its type and Greenpeace has worked with some excellent engineers to make it happen.
The ship sails primarily under wind power. Its 55m-high A-Frame mast system can carry far more sail than a conventional mast of the same size. This is the first time this design has been installed on a vessel of the Rainbow Warrior's size.
The Warrior does have electric drive engines to help out when the weather isn't suitable, but these are also built with sustainability in mind.
On board up to 59 cubic meters of grey and black water can be stored, avoiding any need for at sea disposal. And a special biological filtering system helps clean and recycle grey water.
The new Rainbow Warrior's eco-credentials include:
The construction of the ship was a (welcome) challenge for everyone involved – the experts were not only constructing a high-tech ship; it also had to meet the highest environmental standards.
The shipyard in Gdansk, Poland, started work on the hull in the summer of 2010. 340-tonnes of steel were then transported to the Fassmer Shipyard near Bremen, Germany, where the ship was fitted out.
Here, the hull's rusty brown also gave way to a much more suitable colour – the Greenpeace green. A dove of peace and the striking colours of the rainbow finally made the new ship our Rainbow Warrior.
She entered water for the first time in July 2011 and was officially launched in Hamburg, Germany, in October the same year.
All Greenpeace ships are special, but our new Rainbow Warrior is one of a kind. She plays a key role in our campaigns, allowing us to bear witness and take action to prevent environmental crimes around the world.
"Since setting sail in 1978 the Rainbow Warrior has been on the frontline of the struggle against environmental abuse," Kumi Naidoo, Greenpeace International's Executive Director, said at the keel laying ceremony, which took place on 10 July 2010 – the 25th anniversary of the bombing of the original Rainbow Warrior.
"She is an icon of non-violent direct action and a beacon of hope for millions of people around the world."

"Favorite of the series"
At least so far...I have read the first three (just started the audio for the third one) but Ty and Imogen's story is my favorite. Emily Durante does a great job on the narration and the story is light, fun and very sexy.
"As You Wish"
Loved hearing how the movie took shape and the process of filming it. Also enjoyed hearing the stories of the rest of the cast.
"Sold To the Dragons........"
~The audiobook was provided by the narrator for an honest review~
Story –The story had a lot of potential, I liked the premise, it was just not executed very well. Some of the issues I have with the story; there is no explanation for how the dragon shifters came about, just the world had some extreme weather heat and cold, women have become less fertile and then wow, suddenly there are dragons, so world building could have been a bit better. When we first meet Kira she is very likeable but not so much further in, there were a few TSTL moments and then the whole "I'm not worthy to be a mother, to be with Steven or Blake, I have to prove myself" spiel had me rolling my eyes. The other issue that took away from the enjoyment of the story was the excessive use of so many clichés; "my most sensitive spot" "my femininity/parts/folds, lips" (used 30ish times), "stiff/steel rod" "erect/stiffened/stiffening manhood". This is supposed to be erotica and be sexy and the use of all the cliché words just made me cringe and to me was not sexy at all. I was also disappointed with how it ended/wrapped up. I did not
Narration – I thought the narrator sounded familiar so went back to my audible library to see if I had listened to her before, she narrated a short story I listened to last year. I think her narration has improved from the issues I had previously and in this book I thought she did a good job. My complaint is mostly Steven's voice, while Blake and the other male characters seemed to have a "normal" tenor to the voice, the one she gave Steven made him seem smarmy, and it seemed kind of out of place …on occasion she slipped into that same tone when speaking as Blake,
So all in all the story was not as good as I wanted it to be so 1.5/2 stars, the narration was good and 2.5/3 stars
"Dreamer's Pool ~ 5 Star Narration~"
Title: Dreamer's Pool: Blackthorn & Grim, Book 1
Author: Juliet Marillier
Narrators: Scott Aiello, Natalie Gold, Nick Sullivan
Publisher/Date: Audible Studios, 11/04/14
Length: 17 hours 44 minutes
Copy Provided by Audiobook Jukebox
I have to start with the narration, usually one of my pet peeves is the alternating narration from POV's (mostly with dual narration), I've ranted about it before, but this time with three narrators and maybe because it is three points of view's instead of just two…it worked for me. All three narrators did a fabulous job, even though we had to recall three sets of voices for each of the characters they were still very distinct and you knew which character was speaking regardless of who was narrating. At the moment, the best thing about this book is the narration, and even that is not enough, I may DNF this with only about 4 hours left…….argh, very frustrating
I made it another hour and am just disgusted with Blackthorn…..I had figured out early on the problem with Lady Flidais. While initially the story pulled me in I found myself getting board before I was 50% through. The book is well written but for me just way to wordy. There were a lot of details and descriptions that I could have done without and I found it quite frustrating to have so much foreshadowing to get to the freaking point….I listened for almost 13 hours before Blackthorn and Grim were asked to investigate. If the rest of the story had been more engaging it would have helped, I kept waiting for something to happen. I listened to 14 ½ hours and while the issue that made me hit "pause" on the play most likely resolves itself, all I can say is that Blackthorn's reaction at this point just did me in, she should really know better….it has been over a week since I hit pause and I just can't bring myself to hit the play button again…..I may finish those final three hours someday….but not today.
So for me the best thing about this book is the narration, as I said above, all three did a fabulous job. Narration is a full 5 stars. The Book for me is really only about 1½ to 2 Stars.
This book was provided by the Publisher via Audiobook Jukebox for an honest review
"The Forest Bull"
3.5 Stars - Audio provided by author for an honest review
This one is not easy to review. Initially I did not care for the narration but the voice grew on me. I really liked the take on "immortals" and I thought the story was well told. I think what makes this difficult for me to review is while it was a well told story, it took me over two weeks to finish the audio. For me the story was a bit slow, it was not an "I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happens" listen.. I really liked Risa and Wally….Ring had his moments but I did not really care for him as a character.
So all in all not bad, but it will be a bit before I try the next book in the series.
"A Reason to Stay"
Okay, so here are the technical details & Blurb
Written by: June Stevens, DJ Westerfield
Narrated by: Meghan Kelly
Length: 1 hr and 26 mins
Series: Oak Hollow, Book 1
Format: Unabridged
Release Date:06-13-14
Publisher: DJ Westerfield
Ellie loves her hometown, job, and best friend Jake. But Jake is a ladies man that will never settle down. Ellie can't stand to see him with other women anymore, so she is packing up and leaving Oak Hollow and everything she loves to start over.
A night of unexpected passion makes her start to think maybe things can work out between them, until she happens upon a secret Jake has been keeping for more than a year. Will their friendship be forever torn apart? Or will Ellie find A Reason to Stay
The rating on this one is hard for me, do I rate based on how the story was with narration or do I rate on the story itself…the hard part is, as an audio book the narration has a big impact on the telling of the story and while the narrator was not bad….there was something missing. I thought she did great with the actual dialogue, however on the narration between dialogue (not sure what to call it) it was almost to fast. I kept thinking take a breath and slow down. I think the other hard part for me was I did not feel the narrators connection to the story…..she did not become the characters for me. To me, the best audio books are the ones where the narrators really become the characters, they are not just reading you the story, they bring the story to life…..I'm not sure how else to explain it….but that is what was missing from the narration for me.
The story itself, a friends to lovers, was very sweet. I think this is one that I would have enjoyed more reading instead of listening. My one complaint would be that they waited so long to actually talk to each other about feelings….but then I guess we would not have the story…anyways that is just one of my "pet peeves" in romance books, I usually just look at my kindle or car stereo and think (or in some cases talk out loud) "Dude, just freaking talk to each other and quite wasting time".
So, I think all in all a 3.5 that I'll round up to 4 stars and would rate the story as written 4 Stars but the narration would be 3 stars
"The Gamble ~ One of my favorite KA books"
The Gamble is one of my favorites, and after the narration on the Dream Man series I was kinda worried if the audio was going to be any good on this. As it turns out, they found someone who could pull off Nina's "slight" English accent and switch to non accented voices without a hitch....Max's voice seemed a bit awkward to me at first but in the end I was happy with it.
I can't wait for Sweet Dreams, there is a roughly 45 min excerpt for Sweet Dreams at the end that just leaves you wanting more. Now we just need the Ghosts and Reincarnation series to be released in audio.
"Storm Warrior"
I think this would have made a much better short story, it just kind of limped along, after the intro with Morgan in Whales and spotting Rhys as the "Grimm" and then seeing him again when she returns home, the beginning was good and engaging but then it just kind of limps along...there was a bit of action with the slaying of a monster.....then Morgan being and idiot.....then a bit more with the introduction of Ranyon...more of Morgan being a closed minded idiot and more of same, and the only "big event" to happen was at the end.
I know it sounds like I did not like it, I did enjoy it but I spent the entire time listening just waiting for something to happen. I think a lot of Morgan's disbelief and some of the "every day" type stuff could have been minimized and with a shorter story it would have flowed better.
So I think I would actually give this 3.5 stars but not the kind of 1/2 that I would round up to four.
"Love the Elder Races"
Really happy the novellas are finally starting to come out in audio.
This collection is the first two novellas in the Elder Races series True Colors (Elder Races #3.5) and Natural Evil (Elder Races, #4.5)
Both are good stories and the narration is excellent
"Touched by an Alien"
I love this series...yes it is a bit silly and you have to suspend belief a lot but the humor and snark make it all worth while. The narrator was good and am keeping fingers crossed that the rest of the seires will soon follow in auido
"Protecting What's His"
I'm undecided on this book, I'm not sure if it was the story or the narration that has me undecided...
Alice Chapman did a very good job in reading the story, maybe it was the southern accent...I am no expert but it seemed off....maybe harder when it should be softer....I used to work with a woman from Tennessee and I remember the drawl being a bit softer....
While I did like this one, I had actually read the 3rd book first and enjoyed it more than this one. There was great chemistry with Derrick and Ginger and I really liked both characters, until the end where Ginger momentarily turned into the TSTL girl....if I could give 1/2 stars this would be a solid 3.5 star listen

Hello Everyone...
Most of us move to Custom Roms For various purposes it can be new features, Andriod Upgrades etc But the most common is reason is battery backup which is poor in Stock when Compared to Custom ROMs.
There are actually 2 ways by which we check battery Stats :
1) Stock Battery Monitor
2) 3rd party App
And we note down the battery performance for hours or a day.
Some people feel that your device is not yielding good battery just because the battery monitor stats show it, you might be wrong in your judgement as most such apps sometimes lie to us.
Remember that with any new ROM is installed on your Android device, you will (In some cases may not) discover battery drain. And these issues for the most part are due to process of your phones new software and battery sync.Remember whenever you Install new ROM your device and its hardware will try to adjust to software has well has your battery too which is called caliberation.
It usually requires 3-4 full-charge and discharge cycles before things go to a normal state and Exact battery backup information is known.after this, you will notice great improvement in battery performance. So, do not be quick in concluding anything about battery.
Let the battery calibrate and while you wait try one more thing. Avoid putting your device into charging mode frequently. Turn off the phone, plug charger, wait till it is fully charged and never use mobile while charging since it Reduces battery life has it charges has well has discharges too. Then use it till it is fully discharged. Repeating this several times will improve the battery-life of your device. I have tested it and it really works.
Hope This Helps You All...
Any More Suggestion Feel Free to post in Reply Section.

Brian Gilmore '92 published an article in the StarTribune against a union-busting bill signed into law by Michigan Governor Rick Snyder.
Gilmore writes, "The accomplishments and the importance of organized labor historically
for all workers can't be disputed. Organized labor has resulted in
better pay, better working conditions and better benefits not just for
unionized workers but for all employees in this country. The labor

I don't know why the hostel got so many bad review. Its standard is totally fine! There are enough bathrooms and showers, the toilets and the warm water work, the rooms are big enough, the beds are OK and the sheets you get are clean. The breakfast is also OK: toast and cereal. The stuff is friendly and the cleanliness is as good as it is an average hostel. So all in all, for the very cheap price a perfectly fine hostel (just don't expect it to be much nicer then you pay for...).

Four Courts HostelDublin, Ireland
The hostel is not in the very party center, which might be why I was staying with two school classes of younger students. That made the shared areas a bit crowded, but it was still a great stay. The lockers underneath the bed were very nice.

Aisy be findin' a three-cornered hat on me Wists, so she rustled up this here steampunk miniature tricorn hat!
This side here be havin' a old hearrrrt on it. Be it the silver heart of old Cap'n Blackbeard?
This be the front. This side be havin' a fancy lace bow there on it, maybe Ol' Aisy be stealin' that from some of dem fancy frilly wenches' pantyhoses...
Aisy even be attachin' a comb and barrette to keep me hat close to me hair (what be left of it, har har har).
This here be my trusty mutt Herriot modelin' this here hat...t'aint very happy-lookin' as she once had a fierce run in with a crusty ol' fella wearin' a hat much like this 'un.
This here be my other trusty mutt Founder. He don't seem to mind that hat as much.
Well, I just wants to thank Aisy from the bottom o' my rusty ol' heart, aren't much more you coulda done to please me than craft up that hat from what I had on my Wists, I'm certain I'll be wearin' this here hat in style to me next plunderin'.
