Veloxity WiFi & Mobile Network Speed is your personal assistant for Network Quality and Data Utilization.
With Veloxity, you can:
- Measure App Speed in Real Time.
- Find the best Public WiFi connection.
- Clean your Home WiFi channel.
- Compare WiFi vs. Cellular Net App Speed. Choose the best network.
- Control your Data Expenses! Never exceed your data quota again.
First major feature of WiFi & Mobile Network Speed is to show your WiFi network quality, not only by signal strength but also by interference and by network load. You will be able to solve interference issues by switching to the best channel suggested. If you see INTERFERED in your Wi-Fi status, use one of the free channels we recommend, and you will have a much higher speed. If you see WiFi FAR notification, you will experience lower data speeds. So it is time to choose a closer spot to use your WiFi or get a repeater if you cannot change your router location.
Measure your Network Speed, in real time. This is our WiFi & Mobile Network Speed App's second major feature. The way we test your network speed is different than all speed test tools in the market. Actually we do not test it, we show the speed you really experience. Regular speed test tools downloads and uploads an anonymous file through their own server. So what they really measure is the performance of and the route to their server as well as your own WiFi or Cellular radio link. This type of test will not tell if your TV App or YouTube will show the same performance. What Veloxity measures instead is the Network Speed of each and every single App in your device. So you will see how YouTube, Facebook or your favorite Game performs in your network.
While we measure your Apps Speed and Clean your Network Quality, we did not forget about your quota. Clean links mean faster data speeds. Faster data speeds mean more data consumption. While most of WiFi subscriptions data quota are large enough, most of the Mobile subscriptions are still very limited. Exceeding your quota will result in high number in your monthly bill. Veloxity will keep a track of your total data usage per App, so that you can easily manage your quota, see which Apps you spend most of your money on.
We also prepared a small Game for you if you want to share your network experience with your friends.
Your network quality is a personal matter for us. Please enjoy our utility at no cost.

Connection Stabilizer Booster
If you are having trouble with your cellular data connection, this is the app for you.
Loaded with lots of powerful features, this app delivers a stable mobile internet connectivity.
★★★ Active Keep Alive ★★★
Does your wireless carrier disconnects your 2G, 3G or 4G data connection after a certain period of inactivity? Or is there no data transfer even when connection is live?
Active Keep Alive along with Reset on Failure keeps your connection alive in such cases and also helps in keeping the traffic flowing between your phone and your ISP's servers. It also optimizes TCP/IP parameters if required, to give you the best possible internet experience. The network assigns a higher priority to your device and this results in significant improvement in network performance, especially if resources on the network are under strain.
★★★ Active Reconnect ★★★
Does your device often lose data signal and is unable to reconnect even though network is available? Do you miss out important chats, IMs and emails until you turn data connection on and off, maybe multiple times to get reconnected? That is a known issue that affects many people. It can be caused by handset or carrier issues.
Active Reconnect automatically reconnects your 2G GPRS, 3G or 4G LTE internet connection as soon as it gets disconnected and thus keeps the data connection active at all times.
When activated, this feature actively monitors and immediately re-establishes dropped connections, using muscle if required. This is particularly useful if android's built in system fails to connect you to the network. The monitoring process does not cause any load on your device's resources as it is intelligently invoked only when required.
Reconnection needs root access (only) on Lollipop due to new access restrictions imposed by Google.
★★★ Force Connect ★★★
Uses tricks and tweaks to establish internet connection and attains connectivity even on congested networks.
✔ Highly customizable design.
✔ This app can fix 2G, 3G and 4G internet connection problems on T-Mobile, Verizon, Sprint, Telkomsel, Tata DoCoMo, BSNL 3G, Airtel, Vodafone, Reliance or any other troublesome carrier!
✔ This ad supported app is available completely free of charge unlike other ineffective low quality paid apps.
→ If you are experiencing difficulty in establishing connection to the internet over the mobile network, just press the Force Connect button on the dashboard to try forcing the connection for once.
→ If you are facing automatic disconnection problem then activate the Active Reconnect module. It will automatically detect connection drops and actively reconnect the connection, using force connect if required.
→ If your carrier disconnects you from the network following a particular period of inactivity, activate the Active Keep Alive module. You can adjust the ping interval from the Active Keep Alive settings to be just lower than your network's inactivity timeout period.
→ If you are facing any other problem with you connection, like no data being transmitted even when connected, you can just activate the Active Keep Alive with default settings. Its pinging action is known to work wonders and solve or reduce the intensity of many congestion related network issues. It can also detect and reset frozen connections.
☆ Please don't use play store's feedback system for support. In case of issues or for any question or suggestion please contact us directly via e-mail.
German Translation by Mokkami
→ When Active Reconnect is enabled, you cannot turn off the mobile data connection directly from your device.
To disconnect, press the data setting ON OFF button on the app's dashboard or deactivate Active Reconnect before turning off mobile data from android settings.
Wifi Analyzer
Shows the Wi-Fi channels around you. Helps you to find a less crowded channel for your wireless router.
For the USB read/write permission: This permission is used to save and load snapshots(see menu in my app).
WiFi Signal Strength
You also have the option to show the signal strength as a percentage on your device's task bar.
The app is constantly updating the signal strength so you can walk around your house, work, or anywhere your connected to WiFi to find the best connection.
OpenSignal WiFi map, speedtest
✓ Signal compass points you in the direction your signal is coming from, just walk towards it!
✓ WiFi map allows you to easily locate nearby public networks.
✓ Coverage maps allow you see the best/worst places for signal.
✓ Speedtest feature allows you to see the true speed of your connection (download, upload & latency)
✓ NetworkRank shows which carrier is best in your area.
✓ See local cell towers.
✓ Free and ad-free
You can also:
✓ Help improve our crowdsourced and impartial maps by contributing data.
✓ Share your findings and compare your connection with other users.
✓ View your history of signal readings.
✓ test upload, download and latency
✓ Save your data to SD card.
✓ Signal booster for compatible phones
SMS Permission required to count the number of SMS sent to track your usage, SMS are never read (use a packet sniffer to check!)
Phone settings permission allows network reset on certain Android versions
Based on our community-generated data we are able to help keep you better connected by giving you a practical solution to the problems of slow mobile internet and dropped calls. Simply follow our signal compass to walk towards better phone signal or see our in-app coverage maps to work out which carrier is best for where you are, useful if you're thinking about changing. Our wifi maps help you find local public-access wireless networks (WAPs).
The Stats tab helps you to keep track of your usage, so there's no danger of you going over your plan limit on data, voice or text. (NB – this is why the app needs permission to access contacts and SMS, these are the permissions needed to count calls and texts, messages are never accessed or read!).
Maps not updated in real-time. Don't worry though, we log the information you share with us to improve our coverage maps and signal information. We're working hard to make sure the data you contribute to the project is available to everyone as quickly as possible.
- Not all towers and wireless routers are in our database - we're working on it!
- Verizon & Sprint (CDMA) users will see only one connected tower at a time
- Moving in the direction of your cell tower (the signal compass) will not always improve reception due to interference effects/local geography.
Advanced notes:
- For GSM, cell tower are identified via cell id and location area code (CID and LAC)
- For CDMA cell towers are identified via Network ID, Base sub-station ID and system ID (NID, BSSID and SID).

If you have any problems please don't hesitate to email me. My contact details are at the bottom.
WiFi Overview 360
WiFi Overview 360 is not only a WLAN Scanner, which shows all WLANs in range, the app is much more.
This app is a "Swiss Army Knife" for WLAN.
With this tool you can manage and optimize your used wireless network and and with one look you'll get detailed information of the WLANs (WLAN name (SSID), signal strength, channelnumber, encryptionin - open or not) in your environment.
The tab "Ch check" (channel checker) and "Ch. radar" (channel radar) are powerful tool to optimize your own wlan network. For best performance your network must use a channel or frequency range where are no other wireless networks or little as possible. WiFi Overview 360 gives you the best choice for the channel.
Main features are:

Wifi Booster Free
In order to boost your wifi please do the following:
- download Wifi Booster Free
- open the application and press the big graphic in the middle to begin the re-connection process.
Once you have run the application, you will certainly have a stronger wifi signal. This app acts to mimic what happens when you go to your router and reboot it giving you a fresh signal. Enhanced wifi can give you greater access to browsing, faster downloads, and a smooth gaming experience. The entire reason this works is because when you reset your signal, you are getting a new IP address. Each IP address that you get will be a fresh signal so it is like you are finding a completely new net to increase speed.
App Features
★fast internet speed
★increased signal
★increased stability
★great wifi signal
★ new IP address
This app is meant to reconnect your wifi to the same signal you have been using. There are a lot of apps out there that say they will boost the wireless signal of your router. However this is just impossible and cannot be done. Many times, simply disconnecting and reconnecting the signal you are using will let you increase the quality of the signal. This should allow you great streaming speeds and user experience. It is just like when you call your phone company with a phone problem and they ask you to disconnect and reconnect your phone. This app works the same way but with your wifi signal. Most of the times, this is all that is needed to fix your connection and it will be extremely fast after that.
This Wifi Booster will make the entire process very easy for you to reconnect your wifi to the router. Please give Wifi Booster Free a try and let us know what you think! This is a real app, with real ratings, and real users. We have developed this to help you. We know how hard it is to be connected to a slow signal and nothing seems to speed it up. You get frustrated and want answers. Now, with our app, you are able to connect to a new IP address and all your problems will be solved. Here are some things people have had to say during testing.
"My phone's internet speed was very slow the other day so I went in search of a solution. I found Wifi Booster Free and it fixed my issue! I can now stream Youtube videos without waiting for the buffer, thanks!"
"Signal bars increased by 2 after using this Wifi booster. Before I used it I was having issues with the speed and some web pages were not loading correctly. Now all that is fixed! Any time my internet is acting up all I need to do is grab a new IP. Very simple and works perfectly. I will be using this daily from now on."
"After I reconnected I went and checked how fast my internet was by doing a test. I saw a 25% increase thanks to the Wifi Booster Free, awesome!"
If you have any suggestions of how we could improve the app, please email me at the location below. Thank you.
wifi free
-Free wifi
Based on your location, Wifi free offers you nearby wifi hotspot password within 5 kilometers.
-Easy to find
You can take the initiative to find the wifi hotspot you are interested in area such as cafe, hotel, city, country.
All wifi passwords are shared by users, and the availability will be automatically detected by WiFi Free.
-Around the world
Now available wifi password over ten million, all over the world, including the USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, America, Europe, Asia, Russian and all former USSR Countries, Middle East, Oceania and other countries and regions.
Using the reminder function for a wifi hotspot, WiFi Free will remind you, when the wifi hotspot is available.
WiFi Free will never initiatively record any wifi hotspot information on your phone unless you initiatively share a wifi hotspot.
WIFI Signal Strength
1. A full screen WiFi Signal Strength Meter
2. Home screen widgets
3. Interference Monitor from Neighboring channels.
Did you know that the WiFi signal strength increases by a million times (60dB) from low strength to full strength ? The 4 bar default Android WiFi icon is just not good enough to capture this dynamic range.
Did you also know that there are very few WiFi channels (3 to 4) available and the likelihood of a neighboring WiFi router interfering with your connection is very high?
Free Features:-
- Full screen graphical Signal Strength Meter
- Widgets with color schemes
- WiFi Channel Neighborhood to check the interference in connection
- Detailed WiFi data
Pro Features(Inapp Purchase):-
- Ad Free
- Additional Widget Color Schemes
- WiFi Meter and Channel Monitor Auto Update
1. The Minimal and Graphic widgets have been designed with latest design guidelines and better battery management. The widget updates on tapping or on network connectivity change. These widgets are only available on Android Jellybean 4.1 and higher.
2. If the widget is not available in the list of widgets on first install open the list of widgets and change the orientation of the device. This will refresh the widgets list. Also do not move app to Sdcard.
3. Permissions - The app requires internet permissions for showing the Google ads.
4.The Pro and Free apps(with INAPP unlock) are seperate apps and billed seperately by Google. The Pro App has been unpublished. More on this is in the FAQs on my website.
WIFI High Performance Widget
1. Lowering latency. If the wifi driver does not sleep, the AP does not have to wait until delivering the data. This is desired is many situations, like IP VOIP calls via WIFI, audio streaming, networked games (lower latency means better experience).
2. Ensure wifi is running put into higher PM state even when the screen is off. Again, this helps when you do VOIP calls, stream audio, etc.
3. Solving sporadic/unreliable connectivity problems. Root cause: Some older WIFI routers can't reliably communicate with devices using WIFI Power Management (they may actually sleep, when the AP wants to send data). It helps when your WIFI can connect to the Access Point, but the transfer is either very slow or unreliable (high packet loss). This widget does NOT help, if you can't connect to the WIFI Access Point at all.
4. Simply speed up download transfer rate. YMMV.
The widget should work on all devices with Android 3.1 and higher. In addition, this was tested and found to work on Samsung Galaxy S II (even with GingerBread).
Some users reported this also works with Acer Iconia and Galaxy Tab. Other devices may or may not support this feature. Please see for yourself. Please leave comments/rating if it helped.
USAGE: Add the widget to your home screen and tap on it to enable wifi and to activate/deactivate the high-performance mode. If you don't see the widget, start the activity. The widget should be properly listed afterwards.
Automatic toggle feature works using the following ruleset:
1. If Wifi connection is lost or manually disabled/disconnected, the HighPerformance mode will automatically be disabled (if it was enabled) to save battery.
2. If you reconnect to the last connected network, the last applicable state of the HighPerformance setting will automatically be restored.
3. If you connect to a different network than you had been previously, HighPerformance mode will be enabled based on the preference setting in the Application (whitelist)
Notice: While the READ_PHONE_STATE is indeed a very powerful and dangerous permission, I am not using it for anything else than to know if there's an incoming or outgoing call to be able to use it as a trigger. Nothing else, really...
If you'd like to double-check whether this widget has really done the job on your phone, you can try the following:
1. PING your phone from you computer with disabled wifi performance mode. Make note of the average round trip time. In my case case this was around 50ms
2. PING your phone from you computer with ENABLED wifi performance mode. In my case the average round trip time shortened to about 2-3ms. If there's no significant different between the two cases, chances are your phone does not support WIFI High Performance Mode.
Internet 3G Wifi Speed Booster
With Speed Booster , you can optimize your phone through with the following app features:
- Automatically clean unwanted background processes and tasks
- Beautiful and simple user interface

I've spent two days reposting my trade list here. Finally got all the "Haves" done yesterday,started my "Wants",got down to the last 10 or so,hit the wrong key and *POOF* ...all gone. Now I have to start the "Wants"all over again. Luckily it not as long as the "Haves"(yet) and I didn't loose the "Have" list to banana finger key hammering. GRRR....WAH...SOB!
Hi P!
Well I see at 7:10 you got to make a seed trade post and all looks well. Either you got 'em all typed up again really fast after this post, or they weren't really lost. I'm betting on the latter.
Anyway, good job!
Now are you ready to tackle a little HTML coding?
Instead of
· "Gold Bullion"
· "Pacific Frost"
· "Citronella"
· "Ginger Ale"
· "Lime Ricky"
· "Peach Flambe"
You could make it look like
· "Gold Bullion"
· "Pacific Frost"
· "Citronella"
· "Ginger Ale"
· "Lime Ricky"
· "Peach Flambe"
......or something similar. Last winter, I think it was, some of us played with HTML a bit, just some of the more simple coding for things like
bold italics
font size=+1
font size=+2
font size=+3
font color=red
font color=blue
etc...The easier, most used codes are easily trusted to memory. In time it will be like remembering to capitalize the beginning of a sentence and putting a period at the end.
Sue...off to finish up !@#$ seeds for RR
Yup,the "Have" list was already done so it didn't go *Poof*. Luckily the "Want" list wasn't as long so only took about 30 min. or so to re-do but "still"....what a pain.
I'll play with hmtl after I'm done doing yea ole turkeyday.
Gotta go update my page AGAIN...got done with housework,got bored and went seed shopping so 3 off my wishlist.
Where do you get the codes from for the font sizes and colors? I would love to add them to my page. I've been a member for several years, but I never knew how to do anything fancy to my trade page. I have an e-mail from a member on how to add pictures, but I've never taken the time to do that yet either. :(
You ladies need photobucket. It is free and extremely user friendly! :)
If you are still looking for font codes, a code to put spaces or a code to make clickable links let me know via email,I would be more than happy to share! :)
Well, Peggy, then I don't feel so bad. I guess I'm just trying to keep up with the Joneses. :)) lol
Hi Angie. I do have Photobucket and have some of my photos on there. But I know there was a lady that had her photos right on her trade list page and she sent me the info on how to do it. I just need to sit down and take the time to do it! Heck, I still need to add more pics to my "garden" on Photobucket and haven't done it. Never enough time it seems. :)
Thanks so much for the help. I'm e-mailing you.
My sympathy in having to redo your list, I've been there, unplugged my computer by mistake and had to redo work on my plant database, atleast now it's set to automatically back up every 10 min.
html, forgot most of my tags years ago, I use Firefox and downloaded a formatting toolbar from codefisher.org kind of like the ones standard with word processors not quite as many options, but useful. Still looking for something similar for Internet Explorer, if anybody knows of one please share, DD not a big fan of firefox.
that was all greek to me.....LOL
I have a neighbor that does all my computer work/repairs and he's sat in here more than a couple of time for about an hour a session trying to teach me more stuff on this computer and I forget it as fast as he walks out the door. Brain like a shieve....LOL

She completed a rigorous '365 Days of Art' where she had to complete 1 piece of art for each day of the year during 2009-2010 and posted on her blog. This was all self inflicted and helped her learn a lot about her art and herself. You may notice a lot of her art will make you smile or giggle as she's always...

Perfect for a Long Dining Room!
Matthew from Commerce City, CO
We bought this light to go in our dining room. It works brilliantly! The pattern this light creates is awesome and something people talk about! The look and finish is impeccable! The only caution is to pull the lights through to the desired height most of the way before putting the base up along the ceiling. Also watch out for the braided lines as they can become frayed which will make it difficult to pull through the holes. Set up is straight forward. They suggest using wall anchors in addition to the outlet box for added stability and ensuring it is flush against the ceiling. They provide the wall anchors and screws for you. The only thing is that since this light is long and skinny, if you have a normal or slightly larger outlet box, you will need to patch the hole as the base will not cover it completely (expected and no big deal). Everyone will be extremely impressed with this light! You won't regret it. As a hint, this light goes well with the Possini brand (orbit style light)!
Gorgeous and quick delivery!
Carlen from Decatur, GA
I loved this fixture from the moment I saw it online. My biggest concern was it arriving in one piece--with that much glass, I was sure something would be broken. Luckily, it arrived in one piece (well, nine pieces) and looks beautiful!

'Get Foodie' Debuts with Co-op Sponsorship
By Kristie Snyder,
GreenLeaf Editor
Carisa Fallon has wanted to do a cooking show since her daughter Rebecca, now nine, was a baby. "I've always loved to cook, and my mom did organic gardening so I had exposure to healthy choices," she said.
"Rebecca was so enthusiastic about trying new things as a baby, and I felt like it was all about having a different approach to food — that making food together was fun."
Carisa hopes to bring that enthusiasm to a diverse audience with her new show, Get Foodie, which airs every two weeks on local Pegasys channel 13, and is also available on YouTube (look for the next episode on Nov. 6). During each segment, she and her daughters, Rebecca and Ema, age 2, visit a local farm or producer, see the food
being grown or made, and then return to the kitchen to prepare a dish using that food. "I hope families will watch the show and be inspired to try new foods together, get to know the people who grow it, and cook together," Fallon said.
With a background in film and video production, when she moved to the Ithaca area and discovered the wealth of local food choices, she decided to make the show a reality. She approached GreenStar as her sponsor, and Marketing Manager Joe Romano saw that the show was a perfect fit with GreenStar's mission.
"Get Foodie focuses on local farmers, seasonal foods, sustainable practices and local shoppers," said Romano. "What's not to love?"
For Rebecca, who is a homeschooler, the show serves a different purpose. "I really like asking the farmers questions and meeting them and digging up potatoes and picking things," she said.
New in Produce
|Ready, Get Set, Start Your Seeds!
Andrew Hernandez,
If you can hunker down through the last of winter —gardening season is coming. Look for organic, local seeds and more.
It's a tough month for local produce, folks, I ain't going to tell you no lie. Blue Heron Farm still has parsnips and potatoes. Stick and Stone is not sure how the carrot supply will hold up, but they still have their root medley. But IT is right around the corner. If you're like me, you're probably still thawing like Han Solo from your carbonite prison, slowly warming and blinking at the light — what is this thing? I believe IT is called THE SUN! Daylight saving time begins March 11, and March 20 ushers in the first day of SPRING! A slow return of green, flowers, and our wonderful abundance of fresh local produce are coming. Soon we will all be biking, swimming, and running around. In the meantime we have lots of potting soil and growing mix, and plenty of seeds. Be sure to check out our awesome variety of organic Fruition seeds, some of which are grown right around the corner at Remembrance Farm in Trumansburg.

Producer makes 'Dead Guy' come alive
Published: Thursday, January 17, 2008 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 16, 2008 at 12:00 a.m.
Who could have imagined a writers' strike pre-empting most of television's scripted shows when The Hippodrome chose its season of plays last summer and came up with "The Dead Guy," Eric Coble's fascinating and gut-wrenching satire of reality shows? Talk about timely: "The Dead Guy" takes aim at the many reality shows that fill the spaces on today's TV schedules. Because of the writers' strike, TV networks are desperately programming reality shows in which gospel choirs compete with each other and celebrities try to master complex dance steps while quivering in the shadow of "American Idol," which made its season debut on Monday.
"The Dead Guy"
What: Satirical comedy about a TV contestant who receives $1 million for his death to be televised.
When: 8 p.m. Tuesdays-Fridays, 5 and 8:30 p.m. Saturdays, 2 and 7:30 p.m. Sundays; through Feb. 3.
Where: Hippodrome State Theatre, 25 SE 2nd Place.
Tickets: $25-$30, $20 seniors, $10 students; $15 tonight's preview. (375-4477)
For Coble, reality shows are a metaphor for America's obsession with fame. The American psyche is all about money and celebrity. The proof lies at the heart of his hard-hitting satire, "The Dead Guy."
The play's premise is simple: An ordinary guy is chosen by a high-powered TV producer and asked to sign a contract in which he gets $1 million to spend however he chooses in one week's time. He must allow a cameraman to film him as he spends the money, and each night his adventures are broadcast to a TV audience. The catch? At the end of the week, he dies, and the TV audience decides on his manner of death. (Choices include poisoned bullet, bus collision and quiet demise in his sleep.)
Eldon Phelps, a small-town loser, decides to become "the dead guy," as the TV audience calls him. He signs the contract with Gina, his Faustian producer. And he and Dougie, his boorish cameraman, plod through each day of the week, spending money on pickup trucks and jewelry, and trying to impress his family and ex-girlfriend with his financial largesse. When that doesn't work, and he's rejected by his mother, his brother Virgil and his girlfriend, Christy, he does what any dying, nouveau riche millionaire would do: He goes to Disneyland and makes out with a couple of hookers
The highly motivated, ever innovative (and ratings-conscious) Gina reminds Eldon that he won't achieve fame following self-centered pursuits, so Eldon decides to get with the program. He wants to make the world a better place, give to charity and show everyone that he is a good human being.
The Hippodrome's stage is cleverly set up with five TV screens. Eldon's every word and every action is recorded on tape and shown on the screens complete with commercial breaks for this play within a play. Gina serves as moderator for Eldon's nightly show. She's elated as the show's ratings climb with each passing day and fans become "Dead Guy" supporters, voting in the hundreds of thousands to choose how Eldon will die. At one point in the play, Eldon wants out of the arrangement but realizes he's stuck. He's valued more dead than alive.
Gina, the producer, is played by Jessica Ires Morris in a style that's part Barbara Walters and part Mary Hart with a dollop of Ryan Seacrest in the mix. She has a killer smile that she turns on and off like a high-wattage, electric light bulb. In her quest for ratings, she's single-minded and ruthless, not a woman you want to mess with.
Morris is quite simply amazing in a role that dominates the play. She meets her match with Tim Altmeyer, who plays the simple Eldon as a buffoon, a crude country boy and a know-nothing. Altmeyer is perfect as the crotch-grabbing, stupid, boozing Eldon, who becomes the unlikely hero of a morbid reality show.
In smaller roles, Sara Morsey is funny as Eldon's greedy mother. Bobby McAffee is right-on as Virgil, Eldon's dim-witted brother. Playing Christy, the girlfriend who sticks by Eldon, Libby Arnold gives a winning performance. Nell Page is amusing doing double duty as both a hooker and a doctor. Dougie, the cameraman, is played by Michael T. Toth.
Lauren Caldwell smartly directed the Hippodrome's production of Coble's dark satire. Marilyn Wall designed the costumes and Robert P. Robins designed the lights. Risa J. Baxter is responsible for the sound (and some good country-western music). Credit Eric Behnke, Robert P. Robins and Patrick Pagano for the video.
Is there a trick ending to "The Dead Guy"? Does Eldon actually die? How does the audience vote? In "The Dead Guy," Eric Coble makes a damning observation of American culture epitomized by the reality show. It will be interesting to see if The Hipp's audiences agree with him.

This is a guest post from Kathleen Gallagher Cunningham, an associate professor of government and politics at the University of Maryland. She is the author of Inside the Politics of Self-determination (Oxford University Press, 2014).
I was recently at a relatively small academic conference, one that I've been attending for years whenever I can. The size of the meeting encourages engagement between big names and small names, grad students and professors, and across genders. It is a classic academic mixer, filled with slightly awkward people, many of whom are slightly disheveled, talking about things that are really interesting in really boring ways (to outsiders).
I started attending as a grad student and have made a number of critical personal and professional connections. In addition to getting useful feedback on my own work, this venue is a great opportunity to reconnect with people in my field and get to know some new ones. While I began as a young grad student, I am now at place where I am a (newly) senior member in the field.
After the final session one day, while people trickled out of the room, I sat down with a colleague I hadn't seen for years. I was just hearing about a fascinating research project he's working on when another person (another senior man in the field, though I'm not sure that matters) walked up and sat down, smiled at me but did not introduce himself and started a totally independent conversation with my colleague. I got up a few minutes later to make another meeting, but this small event stayed with me.

3. There will never be a time in your life when you know all the Bible and have your questions all answered; if you cannot serve Him with some gaps in your knowledge and preach without knowing everything, you're going to have a hard time. read more
John Piper Retires After 30 Years in Pulpit
Best-selling author and pastor John Piper will focus on his writing after preaching his last sermon as senior pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis, where he has served for more than 30 years.
"This is the last message in the series of 30-year theological trademarks, and I am calling it 'sorrowful, yet always rejoicing,' " Piper said from the pulpit Dec. 30. "I believe for these decades this theme and tone has marked us deeply. We are a happy people. But we are not what you might call 'chipper.' There is a plaintive strain in the symphony of our lives. I think Jesus was the happiest man whoever lived. And oh how sorrowful! A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief."
Piper, 66, has stepped down from running the church with close to 5,000 weekly attendees, but he still has the passion to write books, preach and tour the country with his Desiring God ministry, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported. read more

Are You Working Hard or Chasing Fantasies?
When it comes to work ethic, I was raised in the old-school by a West Texas dad who felt it was his parental duty to teach the next generation the value of minimum wage, back-breaking, manual labor.
The first job he arranged for me was digging ditches. That's right, my dad secured my brother and I summer jobs as ditch-diggers, installing underground telephone cables ten hours a day in the 100-degree Mississippi heat for $1.65 an hour.
Since I complained so much about the heat, the next summer he got me an indoor job. So I spent that summer inside an UN-air conditioned warehouse loading 50-pound fertilizer bags onto pallets. During our breaks we would go outside to cool off. The inside of that warehouse was hotter than outside. read more
Frank Pastore Dies From Motorcycle Crash Injuries

"I just lost my beautiful husband," Pastore's wife, Gina Pastore, told the Inland Daily Bulletin. "But it's comforting to know he's home with the Lord now. People are calling in [to his radio show] and crying and mourning with us.
"I want to thank so many people for their outpouring of love and support," she added. "That's really helped to sustain our family during this difficult time." read more
