"A Classic Story of the 1920's"
I have always wanted to read something by F. Scott Fitzgerald and understand why he is considered such a good writer. I finally got the chance to do it and am glad that I did.
Fitzgerald portrays a wide range of complex relationships, emotions, and cultural patterns without sounding phoney or contrived. His characters live on Long Island after World War I and most, but not all, are young and wealthy. While possessing beauty, wealth, and power, they teeter and eventually cross over our cultural lines related to truthfulness, honesty, trust, loyalty, nonviolence, thrift, justice, and respectfulness. Over the course of a summer, their decadent behavior becomes more extreme and ends in unexpected tragedy.
The narrator, a young man from the mid West, observes all this happening, and is confounded, especially by his enigmatic neighbor, Gatsby. As he gets to know Gatsby better and understand his motivation, he acquires a great respect for him.
"An entertaining picture of the history of science"
This wonderful story explains how the main discoveries of geology, astronomy, physics, chemistry, and biology occurred over the last several hundred years. By focussing on entertaining aspects of scientists' lives and the difficulties they had in making the discoveries and being recognized for them, it holds your interest for hundreds of pages. I had heard of most of the discoveries before, but was not aware of the context in which they were made or how they related to each other, each allowing progress towards others in an expanding front of knowledge.
The story is filled with facts and numbers selected to give the reader a new sense of proportion and reveal insights about how life has evolved on this planet. Some were so astounding they me want to look at the bibliography to check the sources. The narrator's voice was clear, but a little too rapid for me to catch all the facts the first time through many passages. I imagine other readers can follow it, but after going with the flow for a while, I ended up buying a print copy of the book, which I am happy to own and will use as a resource.
As a social scientist, I learned a great deal from this book. I was unfamiliar with much of the history of hard science, and am impressed enough to think about giving it to my son, who is an engineer. However, I fear he would not appreciate the very aspects that I found so entertaining. Perhaps other hard scientists would feel irritated at the tone, but it held my interest more than a stodgy account could ever have done.
"About the mind of an observer writer"
I had the privilege of hearing Barbara Kingsolver read her own work and liked her voice.
The best part of The Lacuna was how the main character, Harrison Shepherd, floated through his life with little control over what was happening to him, able only to observe and write about it. Huge historical events with famous people took place around him without his seeking them out, and they shaped his life. A few were beautiful(such as when he found himself staying in an hacienda on the edge of an incredibly beautiful Carribean coral reef) but many were negative and tragic (such as when he found himself in a house in the desert where people were afraid of being shot and some were.) You wondered if he would be able to break loose from the course of events or if it was his destiny to go down and down, passively observing and writing. When he finally did break loose at the end it was such a wonderful lift of the heaviness you felt for him! And he did it in a surprising and creative way, keeping it a secret, honoring and protecting the person that he loved!
I did not think he was a boring, uninteresting character who was hard to identify with or that homosexuality was an especially important part of his character. I did not think this was a political book, though politics was going on all around him and I learned a lot about things that I had missed out on. Even the colorful cultural themes were secondary in importance. The main thing it was about was an exploration of what happens when a person's life is shaped by powerful outside forces and he's a observer and writer, how he struggles with it. Pressure builds up and finally he comes up with a solution. Barbara Kingsolver herself is a writer. Many of us are observer writers, thinkers. How and when do we decide to take action and what kind will it be?
"A gripping story, but with shocking torture"
The best part about this book for me was the look into Danish society -- how its parliament, criminal justice, mental health service, and economic systems work, how its mass media function, how its families have problems just as ours do, and how traditional White Danes are experiencing workplace life as more People of Color with different religions move in from the southern latitudes. I loved hearing the Scandinavian accents of the narrator in all his voices. The protagonist and his sidekick were great characters. Those are the same reasons I am a fan of MHZ's International Mystery series on TV. I am hooked on this genre and can't resist reading it -- even when there are negative aspects to a particular story.
That was the case with this book. The torture performed on the victim in this book was so gruesome, detailed, and prolonged that I had to avoid listening to it before bed or I would experience really unpleasant thoughts. It was as if the author was trying to exceed the shock value of all previous works. That did not raise its value in my mind. On TV, I turn torture off. Unfortunately this book roped me into listening to it all the way through. It's depressing to know that the best minds of our society, the ones who still think and read, are being marketed with such -- I don't know what to call it -- evil. What will happen to our society in the future? Where is the redeeming value of our literature? No wonder there are people in the Third World who hold us in such disreguard! I am beginning to feel very old.
"Excellent, but sometime difficult to face"
Coming from the Pacific Northwest, I sometimes find it difficult to face the cultural values of the South related to race relations. This book was a challenge for me to get through for that reason. It is an excellent novel, but sometimes I was so frustrated -- exasperated -- with some of the characters that I could barely force myself to listen. Fortunately the protagonist and the black house maids she was working with ("the Help") were admirable. Everyone should read this book to learn about a system of injustice which existed here in this country and may still exist in a few. It helped me understand a lot of our history.
"Brilliant but depressing"
The quality of Margaret Atwood's writing and the sound of Margot Dionne's voice made the Blind Assassin an intense, compelling experience. My curiosity was piqued by hearing what the 1929 Depression and years leading up to it must have been like around Toronto, Canada. I also enjoyed learning what life was like in a multigenerational family that was wealthy enough to travel to Europe on a ship. The only other books I have read about that part of the country were the Deptford trilogy by Robertson Davies. The Blind Assassinbook, has the same dark, secretive, you-can't-believe-this-story-is-happening quality as Davies' The Fifth Business. Afterwards I wondered how these authors do it. It must be that they get you to suspend your disbelief at the beginning, and, once you do, you're in another world that you really don't understand. You don't know what's going to happen next. You're fearful, but curious, wanting all the pieces to fit together and reveal the mystery. It's not exactly what you would call "pleasurable", but you can't stop reading.
The main character, Iris, told the story of her life in a way that sounded like a confession that kept getting to, but never reaching, the main point. You keep wondering what the "lesson" of it all is. Basically, at about age 19 Iris married a man she did not love in order to save her sister and herself from abject poverty and because her father arranged it and asked her to. The whole story and all the unhappiness that she and her sister and many others suffered stems from that decision. You could blame it on some other, "evil" people, but that doesn't really hold water. The story makes one wonder how many others went through similar things during the Depression and if others are going through it now, here and around the world. What's the relative importance of money and love?
Unfortunately there were not enough breaks in the Audible.com version for me. If I lost my place or missed an important detail in the story and needed to revisit part that I had already read, the only choices were to go back a half an hour or to go back 30 seconds. I couldn't scan for a word, like you can in the printed Kindle version. I would prefer to have the ability to go back by 5 minute intervals. I had to borrow a hard copy of the book from a friend to find out what I missed. Another Audible.com novel I am reading now has the same problem.

Eve Sinclair tells Mini Anthikad Chhibber that reinventing a classic through an erotic retelling isn't a bad idea.
Charlotte Brontë's 1847 novel, Jane Eyre, featuring a masterful Byronic hero and an innocent ingénue, has been called many things including a seminal feminist text and at the other end of the spectrum, providing the template for every romance ever written. In the millennium after Jane battled vampires in Sherri Browning Erwin's Jaen Slayre, you have Jane exploring her sexuality in Eve Sinclair's unashamedly raunchy Jane Eyre Laid Bare (Pan Books).
"It was meant to be a fun project," the UK-based Sinclair says over the phone. "I have had this idea for some time. It was meant to be a quick project. I remember reading Jane Eyre and being struck by the smouldering sexuality between Jane and Rochester. Every school girl who has read Jane Eyre would've been struck by the sexuality between the two."
In Jane Eyre Laid Bare Sinclair shares writing credits with Brontë. Were they very big shoes to step into? "I am an enormous fan of the original and revisiting the book was beautiful. The idea is to not replace the original. I have stayed true to the text but given it a twist. It was fun to play with the text. It is irreverent. I have added the naughty bits in a serious way."
Of the die-hard fan who would be upset with the book, Sinclair says: "I have mainly used Bronte's prose. I wanted it to be a page turner. I was reinventing a classic through an erotic retelling. I used the middle of the book because that is the love story. The tough part was cutting it."
Sinclair describes Jane Eyre as "a seminal feminist text. Brontë was saying shocking things for her time. Aristocrats behaved terribly and lived completely secret debauched lives. Let's face it, Rochester did a terrible thing by keeping a mentally ill woman locked up."
Sinclair's twist, apart from the erotic one, is radical — with the mad woman in the attic, Rochester's first wife, playing an important role in the proceedings. She, rather than Jane, is truly emancipated. "Yes, I love that idea!" Sinclair laughs. "And yes, you're right, she is a symbol of emancipation, although, that said, the reveal happens quite fast, so there are unanswered questions about the logistics of how she's been living up there all the time. Perhaps there's a whole other novel right there. The reason I took that decision is because the plot device in the original — of Jane hearing noises in the attic and ignoring them at first and then gradually getting intrigued — works brilliantly as we're desperate to know what's up there, especially as Rochester is so slippery in his explanations. I decided to tease the reader one step further and make the real Mrs. Rochester a dominatrix because it made perfect sense of Mason's injuries and the way Rochester behaves and his broodiness towards Thornfield Hall. It amused me that she was calling the shots and wanted Jane for herself."
Jane Eyre has been adapted to film and television innumerable times, including the highly popular mini series featuring Timothy Dalton as Rochester. Last year there was a film version directed by Cary Joji Fukunaga, starring Mia Wasikowska as Jane, Michael Fassbender as Rochester and Judi Dench as the housekeeper, Mrs. Fairfax. And there have been many retellings and spin offs, including Jasper Fforde's Eyre Affair.
Respectable smut?
"It is a classic fantasy," says Sinclair of the phenomenon. "Of a woman playing with fire and being consumed by it, of being overpowered by a tall, dark stranger — and we live in a postmodern age where mashups are popular. Fan fiction is the order of the day. Look at 50 shades of Grey...".
So is smut getting respectable? "It depends what you mean by respectable. If you mean that there's less taboo about reading erotica — even in public, then yes. And a good thing it is, too."
Now that there are talks of a movie version of 50 Shades…, what about a bodice-ripping film on the shenanigans at Thornfield Hall? "Wouldn't it be fun?" asks Sinclair with a laugh. "It would be interesting because after 9-1/2 Weeks, there hasn't been an erotic movie. It would be interesting to see how women react to seeing erotica rather than reading it. I don't think men 'get' erotica the same way women do. Generally speaking, men like porn. They like the visual stimulation of nameless people getting down to it on screen. This whole explosion in erotica has happened because women are finally standing up for themselves and saying that generic porn is not what does it for us. We want to read about sex, but within the context of a story. We want the emotional ups and downs, the slow build, the anticipation. For women, it has been suggested by scientists that it's their imaginations — their brains — that fire up their sexual organs, not the other way around. If you stimulate the mind, then you stimulate the body. I haven't had Hollywood agents battering my door though."

How are these two different?
Build [something] out
Build [something] up
in U.S. English at least, build out usually refers to finishing the interior of a building or an apartment that one is renting or leasing. To "build up" means to make something more than what it was. It may be used in a literal sense or it may be used in a figurative sense |
As an American, I can't say I've really ever used "build something out" much, though perhaps a Britain would use it more frequently and could tell you better. If I had to guess as to its meaning, I would assume that one means to expand something perhaps? To build something up is to make something sound fantastic. That I have used a lot more frequently than to build something out. |
Build out: Building horizontally Build up: Building vertically That is how I would interpret it, and would use it, however rarely is "build out" used, and when it is, almost explicitly in the physical act of building something. Building Up can be used figuratively for improving anything. |

'Appearances can of course be deceiving'
Chantal Hebert
Walking home from Radio-Canada on Sunday, I chanced upon the dilapidated former bus terminal where Quebec's election officials have set up shop to revise the electoral list for the downtown Montreal riding of Sainte-Marie-Saint-Jacques. There was not another soul in sight.
Appearances can of course be deceiving.
As eerily quiet as it may have seemed from the outside, the riding's elections base of operations was nevertheless deemed to be ground zero for an impending threat to Quebec democracy.
According to outgoing Parti Quebecois Justice Minister Bertrand St-Arnaud, who came to Montreal early Sunday to sound the alarm, the April 7 election was at risk of being stolen by the rest of Canada. Apparently, hordes of out-of-province university students were determined to storm the bureaucratic gates of the election registration offices to sign up to vote for the federalist Liberal party.
In the absence of physical evidence that Canada's foot soldiers were on the march, I concluded that the minister must be keeping information from the public, the better to prevent a full-fledged panic.
Given how well versed today's students are in the ways of Harry Potter, it seemed fair to assume that they had cleverly donned an invisibility cloak to take Quebec by stealth.
How else could any group of the size required to change the outcome of the vote in my inner-city neighbourhood manage to go about unnoticed?
Sainte-Marie-Saint-Jacques is a riding where, on a good year, the Liberals place third — thousands of votes behind the PQ and the second-place Quebec Solidaire. Two other Montreal ridings alleged to be at risk by the Péquiste brain trust have a long and solid Liberal history.
Upon verification, Quebec's chief electoral officer Jacques Drouin reported that there was no evidence that anything was amiss in any of the five ridings alleged to be under siege. There are marginally more English-speaking students seeking to register than in the 2012 election, but in an election that has turned into a referendum on a future referendum, and amidst campus campaigns to promote the student vote, the opposite would have been more surprising.
Drouin also told RDI, Radio-Canada's all-news network, that a party had misled him into thinking that something was off. He would not name names, but Le Devoir — the Montreal paper that broke the initial story — pointed the finger at the PQ in its Monday edition.
With every passing day, the PQ campaign seems more inclined to shoot indiscriminately at anything that moves. Last week, the lead minister on the secularism charter urged Quebecers to support the PQ or else expect to have government services dispensed by employees wearing burkas and niqabs.
The day before the debate, the minister responsible for the status of women was hauled out to accuse Quebec Liberal Leader Philippe Couillard of trying to intimidate PQ Leader Pauline Marois by warning that he would give as good as he got on ethics if and when the issue came up in the debate.
Last weekend's wild tale of impending election robbery — delivered for the sake of achieving more gravitas by the justice minister — was designed for maximum impact provincewide.
It ultimately boiled down to the latest PQ variation on the theme of cultural insecurity.
It remains to be seen whether more of the same is in store for the remainder of the campaign.
What is certain is that the pack of fear-mongering attack dogs that the PQ is turning into in this campaign bears little resemblance to the straight-shooting party that Rene Levesque founded in the flower-child era of the late 1960s.
If the PQ's erratically aggressive body language is not the result of a panic attack induced by the prospect of a possible defeat, then the first order of business of a re-elected Péquiste government should be to have all the mirrors in Quebec's legislature covered so that, post-election, its leading members do not have to look at themselves.

I bought this because I'm about to do the Hood to Coast 'Mother of All Relays' this month. We all laugh about not stinking up the van and making sure we have plenty of giant zip-locs to put dirty, wet, stinky running clothes in. Then....I saw this and decided to give it a try. This truly kills the stink from work out clothes! It also takes care of stinky gym shoes for your kids! After this race, the primary use will be for the kids tennies. Great invention. It works!

Works great and no clumps
By Jeff D in MA
from Melrose, MA
Comments about 2Toms BlisterShield SportShield Roll On Skin Care:
I have used Bodyglide (and still do sometimes) but I find that the Sportshield is just as effective at reducing chaffing on runs. The problem I have with bodyglide is that it is thick and sticky when you apply it and clumps up sometimes. I also find it hard to wash off later. The sportshield doesnt have any of those issues. It glides on and protects for as long as I run and later I dont even notice that I have it on.

Contending that if trial in the disproportionate assets case pending against her and others in a Bangalore special court was allowed to proceed without rectifying errors in the translation of documents, it would result in miscarriage of justice, former Chief Minister Jayalalithaa on Friday moved the Supreme Court seeking stay of the trial.
Besides Ms. Jayalalithaa, the other accused in the case are: Sasikala; V.N. Sudhagaran; Ialavarasi and T.T. V. Dinakaran.
In her special leave petition, challenging the Karnataka High Court order dated November 24 allowing the trial to proceed, Ms. Jayalalithaa said, "She and others are now being prosecuted on the basis of translations of depositions of witnesses which were originally recorded in Tamil when the case was pending in Chennai, Tamil Nadu.
The depositions recorded in Tamil were translated into English since the language of the courts in Karnataka is not Tamil. The quality of translation was very poor and the translation of evidence from Tamil to English was done very carelessly. The translation was distorted and did not reflect the true evidence recorded in Tamil. Not only that, in many places, the evidence which was not available in Tamil was introduced in the garb of translation clearly to implicate her, in that there was no incriminating evidence against her in the Tamil deposition, but in the English translation of the evidence, incriminating evidence had been maliciously inserted."
She said she was filing the SLP for the reason of flagrant violation of the fundamental right to a free and fair trial. The grave travesty of justice and prejudice that would be caused by adjudicating the matter, that too a criminal proceeding with stringent penal consequences, and the resultant transgression of sacrosanct fundamental rights under Art. 21 of the Constitution of India of India are not far to seek, she said.
She said, "The High Court did not appreciate that any such translation done contrary to the Code of Criminal Procedure is clearly violative of Article 21 of the Constitution. Needless to highlight, when the law mandates a procedure to be followed then it is the duty of the court to strictly follow the procedure prescribed under law."
The High Court erred in holding vaguely that correction to the translation could be done 'at appropriate stage' after noting that free and fair trial was the sine qua non of Article 21 and that there was no doubt that the accused should get fair and proper opportunity and that if any translation should come in the way of proceeding with the trial, correction could be done at an appropriate stage. Grave and irreparable prejudice would be caused to her by such a direction wherein she would be forced to face trial on the basis of such wrong/distorted evidence by reason of incorrect translations hardly needs emphasis, the SLP said and sought an interim stay of all further proceedings pending disposal of the SLP.

What do you think of the
Troy Lee Designs Skyline Shorts - Men's
? Share a...
Dan Be
Fresh and Functional
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
Height: 5' 10"Weight: 165 lbsSize Purchased: 34
I recently picked these shorts up and I must admit I love them! The shorts have the right amount of stretch so they don't get caught up while you are riding. The fabric also breaths exceptionally well.
I normally wear a size 34 and the 34 in these fits me perfectly. The waist has adjustment so you can snug them up if needed, or loosen them if you ate too much the night before your ride. The length is also spot on, not too long, not short.
I am a fan of Troy Lee moto gear and now I am converted to their biking gear. Troy Lee just knows how to make gear that functions and fits well. Buy these and you won't regret it.

Sighting Details
I saw an flying object in the sky while driving on the 101 freeway southbound in Camarillo. It was orders of magnitude brighter then any aircraft I've ever seen and the lights were not flashing. I rolled down my window to look at it and it was so bright my eyes had to adjust. At first I thought it was not moving, but then I saw it was moving very slow. It was not very high up, probably about 135 stories high. For the split second I looked at it, it was arrow shaped, but the whole thing was lit, it was not just like 3 or 4 lights on a regular air craft, and it was definitely not a helicopter. It was way brighter than the moon, any stars, and the street/city lights. I am hesitant to use the U word. I am still trying to make up my mind what it was. If it was an experimental commercial or military aircraft, it makes no reason it would be designed to waste all that energy to make it so bright. Oh yeah, it was not a blimp either. Later we observed in the distance about 3 miles away a large field of amber light emitting from the ground. Almost like lights from a football field but much bigger, and the light was very even and amber. It was in the approximate area of Oxnard Shores and was brighter the the city lights. It was coming from behind the hills. This field of light has been observed before by my best friend and others in the area and videos were taken. I am attaching the video and pic of the field of amber light my best friend took. |

We present an analytical model and results for the proposed admission control scheme with resource reduction principle and a simulation study of the admission control for performance evaluation. The suggested scheme along with the LP-based resource reduction has shown that it is appropriate for the reduction of assigned resources for running applications during over load conditions and allocation of resources to requesting applications.
In this work we propose a Neural Network (NN) based multicast routing algorithm for constructing a reliable multicast tree that connects the participants of a multicast group. The problem is tackled by dividing a mobile network into clusters of nodes based on the adjacency relation between the nodes (Mobile Support Stations), by considering a suitable neighborhood distance. The center cluster, whose nodes are almost equidistance from the multicast group members, is computed to construct a shortest multicast tree that passes through the center cluster and reliable routers among all the group members. We have used a Kohonens self-organizing map Neural Network (KNN) for clustering.
Hopfield Neural Networks (HNNs) are used to construct a multicast tree with a minimum number of links and passes through the nodes that belong to center cluster. Also, the tree is constructed as and when the member(s) moves. This scheme should construct a reliable multicast tree and minimize re-computation time of the multicast tree as and when the multicast route is updated when the mobile hosts change their access point due to mobility. The algorithm can be extended for constructing reliable multicast trees for more than one multicast groups.

Re: Service Interval
Depending how much you ride. If riding a lot then 5,000 mile interval is fine and if doing service yourself change all three oils and lube steering. If not change 3 oils once a year. If cost is not a factor the more maintenance done,will never hurt, and the bike will thank you.
Great choice of new bike. |

Re: Service Interval
While service intervals and lubricant have improved quite a bit over the years, the real deal is it "depends" on what type of "rough" duty schedule you need to follow based on your riding style. If you do short trips, and it is your daily driver...it is likely you do not get your bike up to full operating temperature to purge the system of moisture and unburned internal combustion by products which end up diluting and contaminating oils faster, for example. In that cse you should change more often say half 3,000 miles or 6 months (if prior to winter storage, this works out well so you have fresh oil in there prior to the start of the next riding season). As others may change often, the reality is using quallity Synthetic oil and lube is key, MOCO has already done the long term studies and picked their recommendations...and your test "lab" is not so well equipped.

Re: Service Interval
Double-check your owners manual. Believe, first service is at 1k miles. All oils changed at this time. Syn3 is 20w-50 oil, but better and cheaper oils are available. Then every service is 5k...usually just engine oil.. Tranny and primary is again done at either 10k or 20k....
Personnally, I changed all three holes every 5k and use Amsoil 20w-50 in Engine and Primary and 75-110w Gear Oil in the tranny and never any issues. |

Your Summer Destination, Made Possible By Recycled Skateboards
New York's PS1 will be graced by a giant "party wall" made from the cast-offs from making decks. Also, there are pool boys involved.
Eco-friendly skateboard company Comet strives to minimize waste at its Ithaca, New York factory. But inevitably, there are scraps of wood leftover from the carving process. While they typically use the wood to heat the factory, or make "sweet cutting boards and other products," bro, this summer, the waste will find its sweetest home yet: at modern art outpost MoMA PS1 in Queens, New York, as the main building block of a massive outdoor installation where New Yorkers will spend the summer partying and mingling at concerts and events.
The rather literally named Party Wall was created by CODA, the Ithaca-based studio of architect Caroline O'Donnell, who was selected as this year's winner in the Young Architects Program, an annual challenge to up-and-comers to create a summer-long installation for the museum's courtyard that provides shade, seating, and water. "The architects must also work within guidelines that address environmental issues, including sustainability and recycling," according to the museum's announcement. Past winners included a miniature-urban farm and a "trampoline strip club."
On her website, O'Donnell calls the work "a vertical shade that creates space by the shadow that it casts (editor's note: the shadow spells out "wall") ; that acts as a stage-set for a series of micro-performances, and that sheds its skin in order to accommodate those events."
The stages and benches, also made from skateboard scraps, can be set up in different configurations to host anything from a film screening to a wedding. But the benches won't be arranged by just any old art handler. Again, O'Donnell's website: "These benches are placed in their location by a team of 'pool-boys' whose uniforms have been developed in collaboration with American Apparel."
It may be in the thirties in New York City right now, but I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say, here's to a summer of skateboard byproducts, DJs, fountains and, of course, pool boys.

Samsung Electronics Co. has hit a slight bump in the last quarter of 2013 when sales of Galaxy S4 did not perform as expected.
Today the company will be releasing Samsung Galaxy 5, a refreshed line of smartphone. Intended to outsell the previous Galaxy S4, the S5 has been reported to pack incredible features. The device will be rolled out on Feb. 24, according to Samsung's Unpacked event invitation. With the announcement of the device nears, what should people expect? Can it be a killer device?
Samsung Galaxy S5 will reportedly feature an improved camera and battery. It will launch simultaneously with Galaxy Gear smartwatch. According to a report by Bloomberg, an anonymous source said Samsung may offer the new phone for a cheaper price. With Apple set to release the iPhone 6 and reports saying it will be a whole new phone altogether, the pressure is on Samsung to get ahead of the competition and offer an equally impressive phone.
Here are some of the most notable reported features of Samsung Galaxy S5:
Eye Scanner
According to recent reports, the tech giant will incorporate an eye scanner into the handset. Suwon, a South Korean company, said Samsung will concentrate on the enhancement of security features on its devices. This is also the reason Samsung will be incorporating the eye scanner on the device.
The eye scanner will allow the device to detect user's movements and proximity. Aside from recognizing the iris construction of the user, the device can check if the user is looking into it or not. This means Samsung Galaxy S5 can turn off its applications or programs when not in use. It should also be more energy-efficient.
New Panel Technology And Bezel Free Design
Korea Herald reported the design of Galaxy S5 will be slimmer. Most smartphones feature four layers of indium tin oxide (ITO) films. Samsung will be using a new panel technology allowing it to cut the phone's depth. Also, industry watchers believe the next Galaxy phone will be even slimmer.
The single-layered panel technology will support and improve the transparency level of the display. It will also result to more accurate screen and energy efficiency.
"With the help of increased sensitivity on the panel, users will be able to swipe and tap on the screen with their gloves on," the Korea Herald quoted its source.
The new panel technology is also key to another potentially impressive feature of Samsung Galaxy S5. Through the single layer technology, Samsung can create a bezel free design. But despite the aesthetic appeal of the bezel-free design, some analysts believe this can make the phone vulnerable to external impact.
People will have to wait on Feb. 24 to find out what Samsung has in store.

Random encounter in an empty parking lot. Blood-lust is active.
Random encounter in an empty parking lot. Blood-lust is active.
Yeah, Kitty should take this...Sue couldn't touch her, and Kitty could phase right through her brain, killing her...or drag her into the ground, and let go of her.
True...but that would be more of a draw than anything else...She still can't touch Kitty, and Kitty can't move as fast as Sue.
"True...but that would be more of a draw than anything else...She still can't touch Kitty, and Kitty can't move as fast as Sue."Sue might get the idea to blow up Kitty with a forcefield from the inside of her body...I don't know from what distance Sue could do that though...
Kitty still has to see doesn't she, even when she is invinsible? Can't Sue put her invisible blindfold on her? Plus she still breathes when she is phased so either she has another way of absorbing oxygen or Sue can still pop the ol' forcefield in the lungs trick seeing as she isn't 100% completely intangible.
No, Kitty is completely intangible while phased -- she used to have to solidify to take a breath, but she lost that limitation in Excalibur -- not sure if it's back...even still, how would Sue know when Kitty went solid and then phased again?
And yes, if Sue was invisible, Kitty wouldn't be able to find her...
I'm unfamiliar with the blinding...how does she do it? If she slaps it on someone's head, then Kitty can move out of it...including straight down into the ground.
Yeah thats what I was talking about. Well I was rationalising it as Kitty can still see when she goes intangible so light would have to hit the eye for her to be able to see otherwise she'd go blind as soon as she went intangible as it would pass straight through her. Unless her sight functions in the same way as her breathing as in, it works regardless then it wouldn't work. Otherwise if she is blind then I doubt she would risk phasing unless she winds up in a wall or something.
Can Kitty phase through force fields. I don't think she can phase through bended light.
I love Kitty and all but I think nowadays, before Whedon shot her off into space, her natural form is her phased state after that Mutant Massacre thing and she consciously chooses not to phase. And when phasing, especially through solid objects, she can't breath. So technically, Kitty doesn't need to breathe in her natural form. And how can you generate a force field and blow something up that is physically and molecularly not there?
But yet, the thing is can Kitty phase through a force field. Sue's force fields are made out of warped light energy made tangible. Wouldn't the energy she phased through disrupt her intangible form?
However, Sue can levitate on a levitation disk or something and get around in the air, must faster than Kitty could. And Kitty technically wouldn't be able to find Sue if she turned invisible.
I need to rethink this.
Well, what if Kitty has her best friend with her? Lockheed could sneak attack Sue. I'm not sure of all of his abilties but he is smart and damn powerfull. I mean Ord of Breakworld wasn't that tough, but he was shitting his pants over Lockheed. That Drangon alien is crazy and i'm sure if he cought Sue off guard, Kitty and him could take Sue down.
I thinks kittys got this. I dont see sues force fields effecting her in anyway.
the second the fight starts kitty phases underground, pops up under sue, grabs her by the ankles, pulls her under, and leaves her there
Sue whooped her badly before in Ultimate X-Men/FF series. BADLY.
What about hand to hand, kitty might phase through the force field and wham her one if she can.
Does anyone know if kitty can phase sues sheilds?
"I thinks kittys got this. I dont see sues force fields effecting her in anyway. "
The real question is "can Kitty phase through Sue's shields?" If she can, she wins easily. If not, this could have a few outcomes. Sue may trap her and get a win via suffocation, or Kitty could pull a "ninja vanish" and outlast Sue. Sue's stamina is questionable. If Kitty can make Sue expend energy trying to "brain bubble" her, or trap her while maintaining her shields, she'll be worn out, drop her shields, and from there Kitty can do pretty much what she wants. And yes, Kitty is far superior in h2h. She's been training with Scott and Logan since she was 13, and has received training in multiple martial arts during her time in Japan. She also has all of Ogun's martial arts skills, left over somehow after being dominated by him. At any rate, whether even if Kitty can't phase through Sue's shields, she should still win majority here, though it will be much closer. If she can phase through Sue's shield, she stomps.
Sue could just use her psionic ability to conrole and minipulate kittys scattering atoms bring them back togethwr to form kitty solid and finish her while she is solid

Arla Skyr "the messenger" by Wieden & Kennedy London
Agency: Wieden & Kennedy London
Rating: 5.0
By Mano Manoharan, brandrepublic.com, Tuesday, 20 November 2012 08:00AM
In every business - from manufacturing to service - there has always been a tension between finance and the rest of management. No surprises there - accountants are the folks who so often have to say the word 'no'.
In creative businesses - where the major business asset tends to be a select number of creative individuals - this tension can often become palpable.
Why? Well simply put; 100% of the best creative enterprises are headed up by Creative individuals, and 100% of all Creatives do not like the sound of the word 'no'.
This is nothing new - Pre Raphaelite William Morris doubtless had trouble dealing with his accountants. I say this with a degree of certainty because, despite his creative brilliance, his design company eventually went into liquidation.
And there's the rub.
If accountants are unable to get genuinely involved in creative businesses - just how are those businesses able to generate that virtuous circle - of turning creative brilliance into an acceptable commercial return?
This is what the circle looks like…
It is clear that commercially minded accountants need to get involved and have some influence on the fee negotiation, job fulfilment, pay and reward schemes, plus winning business stages, to make this circle work.
The barrier that prevents this always happening is more than just the Creatives dislike for the word no.
It's a personality clash - and this time it's not just down to the accountants having a default setting set to anal.
If you Google 'creative types' you come up with a list of personality traits to describe creatives. "Energetic", "passionate", "bold", "intense", "likes challenges" and "sensitive"… For the typical accountant this represents a foreboding list.
The feeling's mutual - it's obvious that most creatives will not willingly choose to spend inordinate amounts of time with a person obsessing about late timesheets.
So what then does any accountant have to do in order to improve their opportunities to have more influence over the creative business they work in? How can they be that force for good rather than mild disdain?
Here are a couple of examples of applying some influence - rather than none at all.
Never say no
Once at EMI Music, I had a promo guy who fancied a trip to Brazil to promote a band in his roster, which was within his budgetary right. My suspicion was this was more about visiting his Brazilian girlfriend and less about promoting his band.
When he put it to me I simply said: " That sounds a good idea - do you know that to recover the cost of the trip your band would have to sell at least X more albums?" I followed this up with: "I'll leave it up to you to decide if that is a good investment of time and money".
My reward? He decided to forgo the trip.
The invisible accountant
You really know that your influence is real and present, when the creative director excitedly walks into your office after a client meeting and tells you: "You would have been really proud of me Mano…" They then go tell you how they not only secured more design work in this meeting, but also agreed a very decent fee as well.
My reward? Job well done and I hadn't even left my desk.
So to all you accountants in creative businesses - adopt these lessons and this Christmas, you'll find those quixotic creatives sidling up to you at the party - rather than the other way around…

October 7, 2003 From The MailbagControversy at Fenway
Lots of mail in response to the recent article I put together on the two controversial calls at Fenway this weekend. Let's get to it: You contend that rundowns should never require more than one throw. A properly executed rundown requires two throws. One to place the ball ahead of the runner and then another to finish the runner off. You want to run the runner back towards the base he came from rather than forward. This is so that in case of a dropped throw the runner will not obtain the next base but only get back to the previous base he had before the rundown.Say a pitcher fields a ball and has a runner caught between third and home. He should close the gap, sprinting directly at the runner. Actually, he should run a little towards the home plate side to encourage him back toward third, as you point out. Pitcher sprints, makes runner sprint, third baseman steps up, receives ball, tag is made, one throw. Things get complicated when other runners are involved such as a rundown between first and second and then another runner takes off from third. But, in a single rundown, it should take one throw. Also, say a runner gets caught up due to a throw from the outfield. That is not the first throw of the rundown. Once the runner is between two players, one with the ball, he is in a rundown and it should take one throw. What you mean, though, is that it was Chavez's imperative to get the ball in the hands of the catcher so that they could then run Varitek from home towards third in case of an errant throw. This can be defended, but I contend that a proper rundown requires two fielders and a single throw. Getting the ball ahead of the runner simply for the sake of it adds an extra fielder, an extra throw and more time. Why complicate things and increase the chance of an error? I am a little outraged by the Byrnes play at the plate. While the rules may not prohibit it - I feel blocking the plate w/o possessing the ball is obstruction. Varitek never had the ball and in my mind should not be able to block the path. If the rule is not currently this way it should be. If it is a rule, and this is the playoffs, I think it should be called. But I won't hold my breath.You are correct in that by the letter of the rule book this is obstruction. However, it does not make for entertainment. This rule as it applies at home (and even other bases) has been ignored for quite some time. In lower levels, college and below, this is called, I would say sometimes. Also, just because it is the playoffs does not mean you start adhering to the rules more strictly. You have to enforce the rules the same way you do for the whole season, otherwise there is no consistency. To understand the enforcement of rules, you have to realize a number of things. First, the rule book is old. The way it is written is terrible, filled with contradictions, poorly organized and sometimes bares no resemblance to the game on the field since it has not been edited for decades, though the game itself has evolved. To that extent, the rule book requires a severe amount of interpretation. Some rules are iron-clad, some are bent and some are flat out broken. This is explained because the play on the field has evolved, but the book has not evolved with it. The strike zone is the most noteworthy example. The ghost play at second is another example. For the most part, players know what they can get away with and what they can not. Casual fans even know most of these as well. Blocking the plate (or a bag) is obstruction, but is overlooked because it provides good entertainment. Announcers get to scream "What great job of blocking off the runner! Wow!" and then fans get to see the highlights over and over and talk about it: bragging if their team was on defense, complaining if their team was on offense. Players, managers, MLB officials or a combination of all, some point in the past demonstrated that this rule could be "sacrificed" for the sake of entertainment. MLB overlooks rules just as often as umpires do. Minute Maid does not adhere to the minimum dimensions listed in the rule book because it made for more entertainment and more money. And let me make clear that umpires do not enforce or not enforce rules as they see fit, they are conditioned by what players, managers, fans and/or the league want. So any discrepancies between the letter of the rule and the spirit of the rule, i.e. what it is meant to do or not do, and how it is enforced is due to the influence of the way the game has evolved, not the umpires' whims. There is no shortage of the rules being largely ignored. The key, though, is this: everyone knows that blocking the plate is never called. Offenses know it, defenses know it, fans, managers, and administrators all know it. Therefore, they are all playing under the same understanding. At least it is consistent, the umpires have never called it, players and managers never argue it because they know it is part of the game. The enforcement, or lack thereof, of this rule on the field has been consistent for a long time, so the outcry should extend towards the rulebook, not the umpires. And let it be known that umpires are the biggest advocates for re-writing the rulebook. The differences between the rulebook and the play on the field cause these confusions and subsequent debates and the umpires unfairly bare the brunt of the blame. Incidentally, more egregious in this play was Byrnes shoving Varitek. This warranted an immediate ejection in my opinion. One major issue that you didn't cover was the Byrnes play. If you watch the replay. Varitek never tagged Byrnes out b/c he was flagrantly holding the ball in his right hand (far from his glove) and tagged Byrnes with the glove. The umpire then incorrectly called Byrnes out. This was a flagrant error by the umpire with no wiggle room as to the rules. You can't tag someone out without the ball in the tagging hand. Play should have continued and Byrnes may have been alerted enough to score the run.You are correct in every sense. And let me also take this opportunity to explain that if Byrnes were to then head home he would not have been "out of the base path" even though he was 15 feet from any line. This is another widely misunderstood rule. A player can go out of the base line; they do it all the time as they round bases in full sprint. The essence of "out of the base path" has two parts. One, there needs to be a play being made on the runner. Therefore, if a batter hit a ball down the left field line and were so foolish as to round first then circle around the mound on his way to second he would not be out of the base path. Second, base path and base line are not the same. The base line is the direct line between bases. A base path is a direct line between a runner and the base he is running towards. A base path is not created until a play is being made. With Byrnes limping far from home or any base line and the ball at the backstop, he is not out of the base path because there is no play being made. Once Varitek has the ball and is attempting to make a play, a virtual base path is created from Byrnes to the plate. He has that line, with a three-foot berth on both sides, in order to get home if he had chosen to do so. So, next time you see someone in a rundown and he runs ten feet from the line connecting the two bases and you hear an announcer say he was out of the base line, make sure you check that he was not already seven feet out of the baseline when the play, meaning the play on him, began. While Miguel Tejada clearly was wrong to stop running, the last sentence of rule 7.06b states that the umpire shall impose such penalties, if any, as in his judgment will nullify the act of obstruction. Since Tejada stopped running because of the obstruction, he should have been allowed to score IF IN THE UMPIRES JUDGEMENT, HE WOULD HAVE SCORED WITHOUT THE OBSTRUCTION. With Tejada failing to finish the play, it wasn't obvious to the umpires on the field that he would have scored without the obstruction, so they had to rule the way they did.Correct. If Tejada finishes the play and is out at the plate by, say a step or two, then the umps quite clearly could say, the obstruction made the difference. But, stopping 30 feet up the line, the umps can not legitimately extrapolate how close the play would have been if he had kept running, therefore they do not have a basis to nullify the obstruction. Many people have suggested that the throw was offline and it obviously would not have been in time anyway. This may be true, but it would have to be so extremely obvious before the umps could make such a leap, much in the same way that umps rarely give three bases to a runner on a ground rule double. Many times it is obvious a runner would have scored from first on such a play, but I can only recall once where I saw home awarded. A runner [Robert Fick] in Sat. night's Cubs game who in running to first flailed his right hand at the last instant knocking Eric Karros' hand and ball... something that both at real speed and definitely in slow motion did not seem to be part of his natural running motion, but definitely a deliberate attempt to knock the ball out. As far as I know no call was made directly related to that aspect of the play, the umpire ruling, Karros had the ball made the force, and then had the ball knocked away.Actually it was his left hand and interference was called and Fick was declared out. I also understand that Cox was furious and fined him the max allowable. The league also fined him. "The umpire shall then call 'Time' and impose such penalties, if any, as in his judgment will nullify the act of obstruction."First of all, while it may have seemed reasonable that Tejada would have scored, it was not seen that way for reasons described above. Second, if Mueller intentionally shoves Tejada to the ground he will be ejected and quite possibly Tejada could be awarded home. So, this is not something a defense is going to exploit. Being knocked down is significantly different than being slowed down for a step or two. Tejada still had reasonable capacity to make a play for the next base. You are right in that there is a significant risk for Tejada to get up and try to score despite most likely being thrown out. If he goes and is thrown out by 30 feet, the umps could reasonably say being knocked down caused that gap. If he plays it safe, due to the egregiousness of the obstruction, the umpires could say he would have scored, but then he is relying on a judgment call. As it happened though, a runner was scoring from second on a throw from short left field. An umpire can not say he definitely would have scored because the obstruction only caused him a step or two, but the gap was 30 feet. If Tejada runs it out then the umpire can assess the time of the player and the ball arriving at home and make a judgment. But the player never arrived and not because he was on the ground but because he stopped on his own. 0 comments have been left for this article.

Prayer Request
I just want to lift up my dad. He has a lot of health issues, one major one is his liver. But this time its something else. The doctors did a biopsy because there was a bump on his neck. They found spots and possible cancer. Nothing is for sure yet, he will be going in for a second biopsy today, but he could have lymphoma blood cancer. Im trying to be positive, stay strong and trust in the Lord, but I am worried. My parents have to travel to see the doctor, pray that they have a safe trip. Thank you.

As school children boarded their afternoon bus ride to go home on Tuesday, they were not aware of the horror that was about to unfold: A gunman got on the bus before he fatally shot the driver. He then grabbed a young child. Sergeant Rachel David commented on the incident:
"Authorities say the call was received regarding a shooting involving a Dale County school bus at 3:36pm (CST) today. At this time limited details are being released however the sheriff's department has confirmed 1 adult male was shot and the suspect is not in custody,"
The abducted is child is reportedly 5-6 years old and it is not certain if the child is with the gunman. It is also reported that the gunman fled to a bunker near his home hours after the shooting. The man barricaded himself in his bunker and media reports state that authorities are in fact negotiating with the suspect.
The suspect demanded the driver let a student off the bus. When the driver refused he was shot and killed. The suspect then took the young boy and fled the scene. The identity of the driver is yet to be released but he is believed to be in his mid-60s and died of multiple gunshot wounds.
