Beverly Cleary is an American children's author.
Her largest and best-known collection of books (too loose-knit to be really a "series", although there is a chronological order) involves a group of children that includes Henry Huggins (and his dog Ribsy), Henry's friend Beatrice "Beezus" Quimby and her little sister Ramona, and Ramona's friend Howie Kemp. [[RamonaQuimby Ramona]] is the break-out star character of the series. They were adapted into a TV series in the [=1980s=] (called ''Ramona''), and a movie (called ''Ramona and Beezus'') was released in 2010.
Another well-known series by Beverly Cleary begins with ''The Mouse and the Motorcycle'', about a mouse who befriends a lonely boy and discovers a useful but never-quite-explained ability to [[SurprisinglyFunctionalToys drive toy vehicles as if they were real]].
Part of what makes the books work so well is the portrayal of various events that are a huge deal to a child. Beverly Cleary's insight into the minds of children also creates a large cast of very realistic characters easy for both children and adults to relate to.
Her birthday, April 12th, is designated as "Drop Everything and Read Day" in American elementary schools, in which lessons stop and the students simply read whatever they want silently.
!!Works by Beverly Cleary with their own trope pages include:
* ''Literature/RamonaQuimby series''
* ''Literature/DearMrHenshaw'' (her only book to win the NewberyMedal)
* ''Literature/EmilysRunawayImagination''
!!Beverly Cleary's other works provide examples of:
* ArcWords: In ''Otis Spofford'', various adults keep warning Otis that "[he'll] get his comeuppance."
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: One of the central themes of ''Mitch and Amy''. Happens between Ramona and Beezus too.
* TheBully: Alan Hibbler and his older friend Dwight in ''Mitch and Amy''. Henry Huggins' older friend Scooter briefly turns into a bully when he and Henry get into competition for a paper route.
* ADayInTheLimelight:
** ''Beezus and Ramona'' is the first to focus on those characters after they'd played a supporting role in the Henry Huggins books, and the only book written from Beezus' point of view.
** ''Ribsy'' centers around Henry's eponymous dog.
** ''Otis Spofford'', whose title character originally had a supporting role in ''Ellen Tebbits''.
* CantGetAwayWithNuthin: Averted in ''Otis Spofford''. Otis' class puts on a fake bullfight as part of a school performance, and Otis (as the front half of the bull) goes off script and causes the bull to win the fight. As the teacher is preparing to chew him out, several parents approach and tell her how hilarious the fight was and what a good idea it was to have the bull win. Otis doesn't get in trouble from the teacher, and outruns the two boys who played the toreador and the back half of the bull.
* DisappearedDad: Ralph S. Mouse's dad was killed some time before the first book by an aspirin pill. He was carrying it in his cheek and it dissolved.
* DudeNotFunny: Invoked in ''Otis Spofford'' when Otis cuts Ellen's hair and rather than laugh, the class just stares at Otis. Even Otis realizes almost right away that he went way too far.
* DungeonBypass: In ''Ralph S. Mouse'', the kids build a maze for Ralph to run. Ralph climbs on top of the walls to look for the cheese, to the annoyance of the kids (who were building the maze to see how smart Ralph was in the first place).
* EverybodyHatesMathematics: In ''Mitch and Amy'' Amy hates math. Mitch on the other hand is good at math but hates reading.
* TheGenericGuy: Henry's best friend Robert. His personality was pretty much the same as Henry's but less developed. Unlike many Generic Guys, Robert was an important character all the way through the Henry Huggins series.
* GoneHorriblyWrong: Ellen Tebbits's plan to bring in a biennial beet to class results in her making her clothes filthy from digging the beet up, and ruining her dress by getting it stained with beet juice. Plus she almost gets in a lot of trouble for taking the beet without permission, and got written up for arriving to school late.
* HeAlsoDid: Cleary wrote [[http://collectingchildrensbooks.blogspot.com/2008/08/leave-it-to-beverly.html three novels tied in]] with ''Series/LeaveItToBeaver''. She also wrote two autobiographies, some YA books like ''Fifteen'' and ''Sister of the Bride'', and ''Socks'', which was done in the point of view of the family cat.
* HeelFaceTurn: In ''Ralph S. Mouse'', Brad is introduced as a mean kid and borderline bully who punches Ryan in a fight and breaks Ralph's motorcycle. After Ryan and Brad actually talk, they end up becoming friends and Brad gives Ralph a car to replace the motorcycle.
* HumiliationConga:
** Happens to the bully Alan at the end of ''Mitch and Amy'', starting when he loudly and publicly misspells a word and ends when he gets leg swept by a girl.
** Happens to Otis Spofford at the end of his book. Ellen and Austine steal his shoes while he's ice skating in retaliation for Otis' having cut Ellen's hair, making him walk home in his ice skates to the amusement of all the kids and irritation of all the adults he meets.
* InsufferableGenius: Murph from the Henry Huggins series, at first. He lightens up.
* ItRunsOnNonsensoleum: Ralph S. Mouse can drive toy vehicles by making the appropriate noises. And drive them in reverse by making the noises backwards.
* {{Jerkass}}: Otis Spofford. Played straight in ''Ellen Tebbits'' and deconstructed in his own book.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Scooter [=McCarthy=]. He often gives Henry a hard time but defends him when he's really upset. He also gets better in the later books.
* LetHimChoose: In one of the books with Henry and Ribsy, Ribsy's original owner shows up and wants his dog back. They decide to let Ribsy choose. He goes with Henry, of course.
* NoSmoking: Surprisingly averted in ''Mitch and Amy'' when Dwight lights up a cigarette. Of course, he choked on it and made a fool of himself.
* PlaygroundSong: "Great Green Globs of Greasy Grimy Gopher Guts" makes an appearance in one of the Ralph S. Mouse books.
* PolarOppositeTwins: Mitch and Amy in ''Mitch and Amy''.
* RadishCure: In ''Otis Spofford'', the title character's teacher has him make spitballs exclusively as punishment for shooting them. Cleary also includes a story in her autobiography of some boys who chewed garlic in class. The principal finally bought a dollar's worth of garlicthis was in the 1930sand had them chew it all.
* RunningGag: Beezus trouncing Henry at checkers.
* SeriousBusiness: Frequently. Justified in that the books are told from a child's perspective, in which things like paper routes and school art projects really ''are'' serious business.
* SitcomArchNemesis: Ellen Tebbits and Otis Spofford, to each other. Otis got started antagonizing Ellen because his mother is Ellen's ballet teacher, and he's usually (but not always) the instigator.
* SurprisinglyFunctionalToys: ''The Mouse and the Motorcycle'' and sequels.
* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The Henry Huggins series in general for the 1950s. Henry and his friends never play videogames and rarely watch TV, and they do things like compete over paper routes and scrounge for junk to sell to the garbage man.
* VillainProtagonist: Otis Spofford in ''Otis Spofford''.

List of Governors of California by time in office
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of California Governors by time in office. This is based on the difference between dates; if counted by number of calendar days all the figures would be one greater.
Earl Warren and Jerry Brown are the only Governors of California ever to win more than two terms. Milton Latham ran for Governor for the sole purpose of having himself appointed to the United States Senate, which he had the California State Legislature do within five days of his taking office as Governor.

Heidi - Black Patent Leather - Great Rain Boot!
Love these boots! Light weight and yet durable with good traction. I bought these boots to wear to the kids' football and soccer games - feet stayed dry and warm (because I bought one size larger so that I can wear thick socks). I'm only 5'1" and I liked the fact that these boots were the perfect height! Would highly recommend them! (Note: I tried the Kamik boots in a store so that I knew what size to get online).

Oliver assured his family that the radiation he and Irene received in their labs while researching is no worse than one gets from an X-ray machine at the airport. Daniel says he believes the entire situation is nothing more than very bad luck.
Oliver's cancer is Stage 2, just as Irene's was. The family remains overwhelmingly optimistic that Oliver will reach the same cancer-free stage that Irene has. Until then, the two are benefiting from a mutual understanding of what Oliver is going through.
"I think all cancer patients have an internal dialogue," says Irene. "They are having an internal conversation with themselves about the hope, fears and their future and I think only a cancer patient would know more about that and what that means to have that going on in your head all the time."
Oliver agrees, "One of the things that's nice is that she understands where I'm at -- that support has been great. You begin to think about the fact that you won't make it 'til 80 years old and it changes how you tackle life. It's hard to convey that unless you've gone through that yourself."

Kenyan government yanks condom ad featuring unfaithful woman
- By Neha PaliwalNeha Paliwal is the Editorial Assistant for Democracy Lab.
Kenya's efforts to promote safe sex and combat HIV/AIDS have apparently hit a snag, as religious leaders have accused the government of promoting infidelity instead.
The controversy began when Kenyan health officials teamed up with USAID and a similar agency in the U.K. to sponsor a television advertisement showing two women shopping in the marketplace. One of the women reminds her friend to use a condom while having sex with her boyfriend when her frequently drunk husband is away. The boyfriend is shown in the background, selling shoes and flirting with another woman.
The commercial quickly came under attack from Christian and Muslim leaders who argue that it promotes immorality and infidelity. "The advert depicts this nation as a Sodom and Gomorrah and not one that values the institution of marriage and family," a leader of the Council of Imams and Preachers of Kenya, declared. One woman criticized the ad for using a mother as the main character. "The fact that a mother figure has been used makes it worse because mothers are the people who stand for families and the ones who teach children the good morals," she said. (Past condom ads in Kenya have been decidedly humorous, though they haven't exactly put public-health messages front and center.) The government has since withdrawn the ad.
In an interview with NTV, the head of Kenya's National Aids / STD Control Program (NASCOP), Dr. Peter Cherutich, defended the spot, arguing that Kenyans "cannot bury our heads in the sand." Sexual infidelity is a reality in the country, he explained, and NASCOP is doing its duty by promoting sexual health in light of this fact:
The collaboration that we would like to have with the church is that they become our partners. They teach their congregants and they teach Kenyans how to protect themselves against HIV, by being faithful to their sexual partners. And for those that are not able to be faithful, then they need to use a condom.
"We know for a fact that a big proportion of both men and women have sex outside their regular partnerships," Cherutich told the BBC in another interview. "And so, unfaithfulness, as you would call it, is a reality that we need to address in this country." NASCOP says that it is also trying to fight the stereotype that only men are unfaithful, while emphasizing that the task of using condoms should not be left to men alone.
It's an important conversation — but one many Kenyans appear ambivalent about having as families gather around the television.

P.J. Abramson, Inc. Succeeds By Using Advice From SCORE Mentor
After years of experience making hand-crafted jewelry and working as the chief buyer for a small jewelry store, gemologist Pam Abramson decided she was finally ready to go into business for herself. Her dream was to make money by writing appraisals of fine jewelry.
She contacted SCORE to learn more about the business basics. This led to an ongoing, 20-year mentoring relationship with SCORE Mentor Joe Lefkowitz.
Pam is proud of her store's staff and her reputation for honesty. "Credibility is everything," she says. "My philosophy is to tell the customer the truth and let them make the decision."
Pam has turned to her mentor time and time again as her business has grown from a second-floor office to an elegant retail store in Winter Park's shopping district. Recently, Joe has been helping her position her store against big retailers.
Joe advised Pam that, in order to make a living in the Orlando market, she also would have to sell jewelry in addition to doing appraisals. He also helped her develop her business plan before she opened her first store.
"Joe understands the jewelry business," says Pam. "He has gone out of his way to come into the business and offer advice. He'll even get into details like suggesting that I put a piece of jewelry in a display case so that customers can see it better."
"I talk to Joe at least once a month," Pam says. "He will stop in, ask if I have any questions and offer some suggestions. He still advises me to this day!"

was wondering if there was an easy way in DS to add new channels for morphs to a figure not set up with empty channels?
Yes, it could be scripted - pretty easily, actually. But of course it would then need morphs created to use the channels - they are static, that's why sometimes two add on morphs won't work together as the second loaded replaces the first (which was part of the reason for the ExP system in the fourth generation figures).

TravelPod Member ReviewsCedar Pass Campground Badlands National Park
Cedar Pass Lodge Campground and bathhouses (modern) were clean. The campground was simply a wide open expanse of grass - few trees, if any. I don't recall. No privacy either. Tent sites were close together. However, most tenters are friendly folk and maintain an etiquette about noise levels and intrusion. (This doesn't apply to tenters in NY state though!) There was a picnic table at each site with a slat board shade over it. Kind of like half a covered wagon...we saw these in other parts of SD too. Must be their state 'picnic table design'. The lodge has a limited supply of packaged food for sale to take out - fresh sandwiches, wraps, and salads. Beer, wine, milk, water, and sodas are available. Some other grocery items like cookies, cereal, chips in small packaging. No bread or eggs! There is a restaurant in the lodge. Saturday breakfast was a buffet - no menu items available. The buffet was not appealing and it was costly for the mediocrity of it. If you need a place to crash while you explore the Badlands, this is good place...18.00$ per night. Be sure to bring in your own food!
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
This is an amazing place, these Badlands. The staff here was overly accommodating. There is a restaurant here near the campground and a store with gifts and some supplies. It is inside the park and the Badlands Scenic Loop is just around the corner. Just sitting at your campsite you view these great mountains. It is easy to get to and I would definitely suggest a stop here.

Great place to tent camp. I love this spot and always stay here. Books up early only on the weekends. Bathrooms clean. Camping is under $15. Views cannot be beat.

Various Artists: Radio Ready: Wisconsin—Lost Power Pop Hits 1979-1982 (Cheap Reward Records)
In the late '70s, power pop was the accessible face of new wave music. With roots in the British Invasion and influenced by bands such as Badfinger and Big Star, power pop's bright melodies and more polished musicianship appealed, in part, to listeners sometimes put off by its less polite cousin, punk rock. Radio Ready's well-chosen collection of songs demonstrates Wisconsin's vibrant power pop scene in the early '80s.
The genre's strengths are well displayed. The tuneful Merseybeat of The Pop's "Wait A Minute," the radio friendly sheen of The Shivvers' "No Substitute" and Spooner's catchy "You're The Lucky One" exemplify the melodic sensibility of the best power pop. And, while the late Milwaukee legend Jerome Brish might have bristled over labeling his reboot of The Haskels "power pop," the band's inclusion shows power pop's tent could house harder-edged bands.
Power pop had its weaknesses. Energy often substituted for passion, style frequently trumped substance, but Radio Ready's finest songs remind us that while power pop was never a true musical meal, it could be counted on to provide a pretty pleasant snack.

Those details will emerge. What might also emerge is what drove this young man, a drum major in the […]

Life InsuranceIf you die,
FRANK pays.
- Tax-free lump sum life insurance payout of up to R10 million.
- Unlimited beneficiaries. Add as many as you want. Change them at any time.
- Immediate cover without delay.
- Straightforward cover. No fancy talk. No hidden clauses.
No one wants to think about death, which is why you should.
Financial security, that's what everyone wants for their loved ones. While money is just one part of it, it's also the aspect we don't often think about. FRANK pays a tax-free amount of up to R10 million to your beneficiaries if you pass away. Life is unpredictable. But FRANK's payout is not.
Go direct, save time.
Give us a call between 8am and 6pm if you want to buy or increase your existing cover, need to change your details or to put in a claim.
But wait, there's more.
Right now you're probably thinking you could do with more straightforward insurance in your life, right? Well, FRANK also offers standalone Salary Protection, Disability Cover and Serious Illness Cover.
Getting insured
How does it work?
The payout amount, or cover, you will qualify for is based on a number of factors, including your gender, age, smoking habits, income, education and how healthy you are at the time of application. For instance, your BMI index – a formula taking your height and weight into account – is an indicator of your health and counts towards your cover. Your monthly payments are tailor-made and calculated based on these factors and the cover you choose.
Be honest.
It works both ways. We try to tell you everything up front and we trust that you will do the same. When you get insured with FRANK your job and your hobbies are taken into account. If you like to jump out of planes or go bungee jumping, we need to know.
Tell us what you're up to.
FRANK needs to know if you change jobs, start or stop smoking, take up a risky activity or sport. If you are planning to be outside of South Africa for more than 30 consecutive days, we need to know that too. It is important that you keep us updated on any of the above lifestyle choice changes.
Just one blood test needed.
For our full cover products, you need to go for an HIV test as soon as possible, within three months of taking out your policy, so that you can enjoy the benefits of full cover. FRANK not only pays for the test, but will arrange for a nurse to come to your home or your workplace. Your results are kept strictly confidential. The results of the test may affect your cover and your monthly payment.
Be the change.
Keep FRANK informed of all changes as information that isn't shared can affect future claims. We may have to adjust your monthly payment to make sure that you are paying the right amounts for your benefits. If your lifestyle factors have improved, your monthly payment might even decrease!
When you get insured with FRANK, your job and hobbies are also taken into account.
Important stuff
Honesty is the best policy.
FRANK wants to make sure that when you claim, we pay. So honesty at every stage of the process is of the utmost importance. If we find that some or all of the details you supplied were inaccurate, it could affect your claim.
If it's illegal, we don't pay.
FRANK will not pay if you injure or harm yourself or make yourself ill on purpose. FRANK will not be able to pay any claim for any of our products if you are disabled or die while you are involved in any illegal activities, war, riots or terrorism.
Something wrong? Call us.
When you or your beneficiaries need to submit a claim, contact our call centre on 0860 238 379 and they will inform you of the procedure you will need to follow and the relevant documentation required to process your request.
Honesty at every stage of the process is of the utmost importance.

Re: Couldn't you have waited until the official announcement?
I first read about months ago, but the details where sparse.

I first read about months ago, but the details where sparse.
I wouldn't worry, you will get 2 years of enjoyment out of it, before the RPI2 is release. The other websites that had info on the new version stated 2017 is release date.
My guess is 30%, since Apple loves their 30% rake.
Woz was innovator, Jobs was a Salesman. If Jobs hadn't sold computers, he would have sold used cars. The only ones who believe Jobs was innovator are Apple Fanbois. I am not putting Jobs down, but every GREAT innovator needs a great Salesman, or the innovation doesn't go anywhere.
Xerox stole it from Doug, Apple stole it from Xerox, MS stole it from Apple. The real problem is they ARE all thieves except Doug.
It would be nice if they make iTunes fast, but I guess that will never happen. Even my friend who like Apple iTunes won't use it on Windows, even though he uses Windows quite a bit.
I still have my Dad's Unisonic 840, it still works too. He bought in September 26, 1975, the date is on the warranty card in that in the leather case. I even have a power supply somewhere for it too. I remember my next one was programmable Sharp 5100 or something like that, but the display cracked and you can't see the numbers anymore, I might even have another Sharp somewhere too, I have two case but only one calculator. I still remember in my math class when people saw the Sharp, everyone had to have one. A couple stores had a run on those calculators, the other students from the class.
I know the feeling, I remember when my last ISP/Cable company left, and then Comcast took over. My Internet stink for weeks after that, it took almost 6 months to get back to where it was before Comcast took over.
The Youtube video is from 1968, 8 years BEFORE Apple was founder (1976). So Steve had to first invent the Tardis to go back in Time to ask Doug do invent the mouse for them????
Xerox didn't invent the Mouse, Doug got there before them, Xerox just copied it.
You forgot to say, Apple copies Xerox who had already Copied Douglas Engelbart. Microsoft all they did was a copy a copier who had copied something. You have to remember who invented the Mouse and why it was invented. To use the NEW GUI was being designed.
Apple has been an Innovator but the problem is when Woz left so did the Innovation.
iTunes slow and crappy, but you're right MMCenter isn't that much better, there are others that are better. I thought iTunes was the worst media player I have ever used at least on Windows.
It looks like one of the rats has left Carl's sinking ship, I wonder how many will follow. Icahn strips the company and leave the rest vultures.
The C64 does have a virus or at least a FIX for the virus, I have seen the fix my computer club has a copy of the program, but I have never seen the virus. You don't need to power cycle if you install a reset switch with was very easy, almost all the member of my computer club had one installed on their computer. I used to use a 14,400 modem on my C64. I do believe a TCP/IP stack doe exist for the C64. So the only thing that make it better is not have MBR which the C64 does have but the C128 does have.
Most of the steam games, I have bought are under 10 bux, so what it I get shafted on a game it didn't cost me that much to begin with. I don't mind wasting 10 on a game that may or may not be good, but it is $60 or more, I will care quite a bit.
Innovation walked out the door when Woz left the company, ever since they they have taken other products and refined them a little and then claim they are the most innovate company around.
How about the toasting bread. Patent number 6080436. There are a lot bad patents out there.
I guess they are all Rats and Gnomes? I never knew that Barcelona was in France, when did they move it?
I have a computer (DEC something with 8 inch disks) from the late 70s the turns on but doesn't work correctly since I don't have a working boot disk. I have a number of game consoles from the 70s, a Fairchild Channel F, a couple Atari 2600s, a Atari Pong (only 2 of 4 paddles) and a Coleco Combat, all still work good. So hardware that old still works, if you take care of it. I have other old electronic stuff that still works, but they are mainly toys.
What you don't use phones or anybody's products? Almost all companies have done 'evil' in the past, the bigger they are the more likely to happen.
I remember when someone said 640K was more than enough ram in a personal computer. You will never know what tomorrow killer app will be or how much power it will need...
Apple didn't want to build a market for Ebooks, they want what Amazon had build for Kindle sales, right now, without the work of building the market.
How many Decades ago was the Nintendo Power Glove? The Wii-Mote is just a hand held version of the power glove, in a lot of ways. Sony would most likely not be in the Video Game business if Nintendo hadn't asked the help on a CD add-on for they console.
A little history might help also....
Power Glove - 1989
Wii - 2006
PS Move - 2010
Unless Sony spent decades at thinking how to do it, I think Nintendo is the Innovator in this...
Also the weekly sales don't hurt either, I can't remember the last time I paid full price for a Steam game.
Cold Fusion 2.0, or just about as useful....
Everything thing I have read the 3D CGI version from Disney has been sunk before it left dry dock.
In the Universe one is unique and two is common, just because if haven't on a planet like ours yet doesn't it a rarity. We just have to keep looking and we haven't found many that the planet is about Earth size anyway.
I just want my Raspberry...
Sorry, it nothing special, just a coronal filament, very common.
It is explained here... http://youtu.be/82l46fpd-ic
Spherical is 3D and circular is 2D, now can you tell me how you can tell from a 2D picture, which is which? Every time I look at the big blue marble (earth) it looks like a circle but we all know it a spherical.
Pong was the first Arcade Video game, but not the first Coin Operated Video game, which was Galaxy Game (Computer Space clone) which ran on PDP-11, it easy to be successful when your competition cost over $20,000 in 1971 dollars. Galaxy Game is available for MAME as a free download, but not on MAME's web site yet. Also it the only game in MAME that has the source code available, since it the source listing is convert to make the code that runs the game.
Here is the Google code page for Galaxy Game
I agree but now we get large snow falls and then it melts in a week or two. When I was a kid, the snow wouldn't melt until spring. So we had more snow on the ground but less snow fall over all. Last year my city was shut down because of a blizzard which hasn't happened since 1979, which was more about blowing snow, than snow fall like last year.
I guess Paul Christoforo would say there is something called Bad Publicity...
If you want for some better to come along, you will be waiting forever. You should always buy whatever you can afford now.
There are only 21 legally distributed roms out of 8000+, which free for use in emulators, Mamedev.org has 20 of them listed, the other legal "rom" is Galaxy Game, which has not be posted to Mame site, yet. Galaxy Game isn't a binary file but a source listing which is converted into a binary when loaded.
Commodore and Atari sold better at least on the Low end in 1984, a Commodore 64 was $199, and a 1541 was $249, I think or they could have been $50 cheaper. I know that, it was the year I bought my C64 and got my 1541 as a Christmas gift. IBM had the larger business market and small business market was Apple II and sometimes Commodore. Apple II computers where not that cheap back then, and IBM was even more expensive. I remember looking an Apple II computer, and trying to figure out how to buy one, then I just bought a Commodore which I could afford even though I knew someone who could get me an Apple II at wholesale cost.
Unless your game is in the top 100 apps, you don't make any money, and you only make the big bucks if it is in the top 10. Yep he done a lot for cheap gaming, Nintendo hate the iPhone, because everyone now wants games under $5 or so.....
Record revenue of $69.9 billon, I think says it all... When you make money for your company, they won't kick you out, the board just wanted more, and that a little hard when the economy is taking a dump.
Binaries have headers to tell the programs that they are binaries. Linux groups used to use Begin at the front of their message because Outlook Express was to stupid not to know that it wasn't a binary, but the did issue a patch for it. You would have to read every message but you could filter it without a problem. Also all you have to do it get a premium server outside the EU and you would be able to pirate again.
I think Samsung is now after revenge, more than anything.
If your developer in Apple App store and your app is in the top 100, you get to share of 61% of the Sales, if your app is in the 99.97% (the rest of the apps) you get to share the rest of the 39% of the Sales. I did remove the 37% of the free apps, from the 500000 apps, it made it easier to do the math.
They tried video games, it was called Pippin and it failed quickly.... TVs would be just rebranded, which someone else makes, I would rather buy from the manufacturer.
Apple got the idea from Alan Kay and his Dynabook, since Alan once worked for Apple. The Dynabook idea, started in 1968.
If you look at what most people use slabs for its not productivity, but to play games. I think Nintendo is the one that truly hates slabs, because they sell games for under $5(US) most of the time. Microsoft has had slabs for a long time, but the form factor and weight, is what killed it. Apple made it lighter and more useful, and that is about all. Microsoft is hoping to do something about market share with Windows 8, which may or may not work. Just like phones, I think slabs get replaces a lot faster than a Desktop, so the market can flip in one or two years. Who rules cell phone market, Android, with Apple being number 2 again.
I think in a few years Android slabs will be the one ruling the the market, and not Apple but it may take a few product cycles to make that happen...
Most multi console people I know simply pick the game they think is best an buy it for that platform.
Windows vs. Mac, buy the game on Steam and you can play it on either platform or make sure the game comes with both versions on the DVD.
did pigs begin to fly?
Birds are the closest to living dinosaurs.
Why then do I have to have Car insurance? If I don't have it, I get a fine up to $1000. What the difference between Car and Health insurance?
Not by Logitech but Watcom's Bamboo Touch is USB Trackpad and supports 2 fingers instead of 4, like Apple. Even Apple doesn't support 3 or 4 finders and lacks the trademark pinch to zoom and rotate gestures, on Window Boot Camp version.

"I was never notified of the reported letter outlining the concerns of some former athletes," she said. "However, I am truly sorry that some were disappointed during my tenure as coach. ... Over the years, I have tried to learn from each mistake, including the lessons I learned as a young coach. I have become a stronger leader, administrator and educator as a result."
Larry Lauer, who works in player development with the United States Tennis Association said that studies show intimidation and abuse are not effective coaching techniques.
"If you are going to demean and emotionally abuse players, then you have stopped teaching and it's not going to work," he said. "You get short-term results, but not in the long term, if you treat players badly and sacrifice your values."
Constructive criticism is far more effective, especially in younger athletes, according to Lauer. "With positive feedback and reinforcement, players are more willing to come back and play."
At the college level, coaches are more than teachers, they represent their institutions.
"Coaches who are asking players to be responsible and do the right thing have a lot of responsibility and power in these college communities," he said. "How we act, really sets the reputation for everything at these universities."
Good coaches can stray from their values, he said, when they are pressured to win. "But you can go about it the right way."
Lauer cites model basketball coaches like Michigan State's Tom Izzo, the late John Wooden of UCLA and even former Tennessee's Pat Summitt, who used a "teaching approach" and still won.
"If you sacrifice your values, it's eventually going to come out on Twitter," he said.
As for Hermann, youth athletics expert Gould said "she's innocent until proven guilty. Sometimes it's a one-off thing and it should be let go. At the same time, you look for patterns occurring.
'I do think a coach can get frustrated and one day he or she may say things. But when they refer to race or sexual orientation or anything like that, it's different," he said. "You can be intense, but there is a stricter set of parameters. You can assume everything will end up on video."

LV= Cup: Northampton try drought ends in win over Gloucester
Last Updated: 26/01/13 5:46pm
Gloucester's Mike Tindall comes under pressure from Mark Sorenson
Northampton made it two wins from three LV= Cup Pool 4 games with a cosy 26-7 success against Gloucester at Franklin's Gardens.
Luther Burrell and Alex Waller crossed for Saints tries, ending a lengthy drought in front of their own fans, and they were efficient with the boot on their way to an impressive victory over their Aviva Premiership rivals.
A couple of early Gloucester infringements gave Ryan Lamb the chance to pop over a couple of penalties and give the home side a 6-0 lead.
Gloucester briefly led, as it turned out for the only time, when Ryan Mills made the most of a Scott Monahan break to score on his first outing for more than six months after knee surgery - he also converted.
But it was Lamb to the fore again for the Saints as they restored their lead seven minutes before half-time, the fly-half tricking the Cherry and Whites defence to allow Burrell to saunter home unchallenged for a try, the first the Saints had scored in front of their own fans since 24 November.
Northampton continued to dominate the forward battle after the break and Stephen Myler came off the bench to add six more points to their lead with two penalties.
And the game was completely over as a contest 13 minutes from the final whistle when prop Waller nipped around a ruck to plunge over after a powerful driving maul, with Myler's conversion ending the scoring.
Saints now only need to beat the Exeter Chiefs in their final pool game to secure a place in the semi-finals.

Auralization of Signal Distortion in Audio Systems—Part 1: Generic Modeling
Auralization techniques are developed for generating a virtual output signal of an audio system where the different kinds of signal distortion are separately enhanced or attenuated to evaluate the impact on sound quality by systematic listening or perceptive modeling. The generation of linear, regular nonlinear and irregular nonlinear distortion components is discussed to select suitable models and measurements for the auralization of each component. New methods are presented for the auralization of irregular distortion generated by defects (e.g., rub & buzz) where no physical models are available. The auralization of signal distortion is a powerful tool for defining the target performance of an audio product in marketing, developing products at optimal performance-cost ratio and for ensuring sufficient quality in manufacturing.

Following situation:
Contre jour exposures (person in Canyon with sky in the background) with a point and shot (Yashica T1) on long (90s) expired FP4+. Most of the frames I exposed at 100 ASA, but also tried some at 50 and a few at 200.
I have to fight 2 problems: high contrast and fog. As this is 35 mm film I would like fine grain too, so this is problem 3.
A friend of mine used this same film (it comes from a 100 ft roll) and found increased fog level. (Haven't seen the negatives, he says contrast is reduced.)
I thought best chances for the main problem, contrast, would be a 2 bath developer. But which to choose?
DD-23, Stöckler, Thornton or D2D?
To the choose between Stöckler/DD-23 and Thornton: Is FP4+ still considered a thick emulsion film or not?
Which of them would give me the best reducing in contrast?
As I understand D2D permits finer grain as it doesn't need sodium sulphite and has Na-ascorbate. Still this is subordonate to the contrast reducing problem. Would D2D give the same contrast?
Also I read different opinions about reducing or increasing the time in the first bath. Most sources state if I want reduced contrast to take the film out of bath A after a shorter time. Other (fewer) sources say the opposite. If I understand correctly longer time in Bath A would further develop the shadow parts and that is one of the things I want. (It would be catastrophal if the face of the subject would be only a big black spot.)
I wish to add a pinch of KBr to fight fog. Where does this go? Bath A or B?

It wasn't just China's long overdue crash last night. In addition to the Shanghai Composite suffering its biggest plunge since August 2009, there has been a sharp slide in the USDJPY which has broken its uptrend to +∞ (and hyperinflation), and around the time Chinese gamblers were panicking, the FX pair tumbled under 120, although since then the 120 tractor beam has been activated. Elsewhere, the Athens stock exchange is also crashing by over 10% this morning on the heels of news that the Greek government has accelerated the process to elect the next president and possibly, a rerun of the drama from the summer of 2012 when the Eurozone was hanging by a thread when Tsipras almost won the presidential vote and killed the world's most artificial and insolvent monetary union. And finally, the crude plunge appears to have finally caught up with ground zero, with ADX General Index in Abu Dhabi plunging 3.5%, also poised for the biggest drop since 2009. In fact the only thing that isn't crashing (at least not this moment), is Brent, which did drop to new 5 year lows earlier under $66, but has since staged a feeble rebound.

Job Market Growth Hovers Near 2-Year Lows, Fed's Labor Market Index ShowsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 12/08/2014 11:22 -0400
Despite the utter exuberance at Friday's payrolls data -which 'everyone' saw as nothing but indicative of escape velocity and utopia in America's near future - the Fed's new multifactor model of the US jobs market shows growth sliding to just 2.9% MoM. This is the almost the slowest growth since Aug 2012.

Small Business Optimism Slides, Hiring & Capex Plans CollapseSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 10/14/2014 08:58 -0400
Just when the talking-heads thought it was safe to proclaim small business is back, the data turns around and smashes them in the face. The headline NFIB Small Business Optimism index slipped to its lowest since June (the 4th month below the 7-year-high peak in May). More problematic was the sub-indices which saw plans-to-hire drop to six-month lows and wage-related series stalling out, capex spending plans plunge to 2-year lows, along with current job openings.

Futures Euphoria Deflated By Latest Batch Of Ugly European News: Germany Can't Exclude "Technical Recession"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 10/14/2014 06:47 -0400
So far the overnight session has been a mirror image of Monday's, when futures languished at the lows only to ramp higher as soon as Europe started BTFD. Today, on the other hand, we had a rather amusing surge in the AUDJPY as several central banks were getting "liquidity rebates" from the CME to push the global carry-fueled risk complex higher, only to see their efforts crash and burn as Europe's key economic events hit. First, it was the Eurozone Industrial Production, which confirmed that the triple dip is well and here, when it printed -1.8%, below the expected -1.6%, and far below last month's 1.0%. This comes in the month when German IP plunged most since 2009, confirming that this time it's different, and it is Germany that is leading Europe's collapse into the Keynesian abyss not the periphery. And speaking of Germany, at the same time Europe's former growth dynamo released an October ZEW survey of -3.6%, the 10th consecutive decline and well below the 0.0% expected: first negative print since late 2012!

Today US activity will be very light given the Columbus Day holiday. As DB summarizes, we have a relatively quiet day for data watchers today but the calendar will pick up tomorrow and beyond with a big focus on inflation numbers amongst other things. Indeed tomorrow will see the release of Germany's ZEW survey alongside CPI prints from the UK, France and Spain. Wednesday's data highlights will include the US retail sales for September, the Fed's Beige Book, CPI readings from China and Germany, US PPI, and the NY Fed Empire State survey. Draghi will speak twice on Wednesday which could also be a source for headlines. On Thursday, we will get Industrial Production stats and the Philly Fed Survey from the US on top of the usual weekly jobless claims. European CPI will also be released on Wednesday. We have the first reading of October's UofM Consumer Sentiment on Friday along with US building permits/housing starts. Yellen's speech at the Boston Fed Conference on Friday (entitled "Inequality of Economic Opportunity") will also be closely followed.

US Equity Futures Levitate As Yen Fireworks Continue; All Attention Still On ScotlandSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 09/09/2014 07:08 -0400
While overnight US equity futures have done nothing notable, what everyone's attention has been fixed on, in addition to the GBP and the read-through to all things UK-ish ahead of the Scotland independence referendum, is the sudden flare up in USDJPY trading and volatility, which exploded by some 100 pips in the past 24 hours hitting fresh post-2008 highs, on what appears to be a major capital reallocation move (it surely is not driven by any news) and/or forced squeeze. What is more perplexing is the change in correlations signals, because while until recently the USDJPY was synonymous with the E-Mini, and thus the S&P, as of late the USDJPY pair has moved tick for tick with the 10Year yield: almost as if the NY Fed's favorite HFT trading shop was instructed to change its vast array of signal inputs away from the S&P and to force a gentle levitation in the 10Y.

Enough Bad News Overnight To Send Futures Higher On Turbo TuesdaySubmitted by Tyler Durden on 08/12/2014 07:09 -0400
If the global equity "markets" were in need of a sharp "horrible news is great news" boost overnight, it came courtesy of Germany's ZEW investor confidence survey, which printed at a stunning 8.6, a plunge from the 27.1 in July and far below the 17.0 expected - the lowest print since December 2012 -largely suggesting that a European triple-dip is all but assured. And if that wasn't enough, strong language from John Kerry, assured to fan the flames of geopolitical instability, came hours ago when the US SecState said even more Russian sanctions may be coming. And just to make sure the NY Fed trading desk has to come up with a new narrative is the latest development in the Russian "humanitarian convoy" saga, which as we reported last night, has departed Russia but which Ukraine is now refusing to allow into its country. All in all, it's is setting up to be another super bullish day in the rigged markets for which all that matters is... Tuesday.

Futures Flat Following Turbulent Asian Session, FOMC Minutes LoomSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/09/2014 07:02 -0400
While the situation between Israel and Gaza continues to escalate, pulling the markets' attention away from the recent developments in Iraq (as for the Ukraine civil war, forget it), the big news overnight came out of Chine which reported another contraction in consumer prices, which both declined to 2.3% and missed expectations of a 2.4% print (down from 2.5%). Producer Prices had another negative print, the 28th in a row, and have remained negative since 2012. This led to the Hang Seng Index falling at the fastest rate since late June to erase all YTD gains. However, as has now become the norm, macro news hardly impacted US equity futures, which are driven exclusively by the Yen carry trade, which unlike yesterday's pounding, has traded rangebound between 101.6-101.7 keeping US equity futures just barely in the green. We expect the momentum ignition algo to kick in at some point, for absolute no fundamental reason beside the NY Fed trading desk issuing a green light, sending the USDJPY surging, taking the Spoos with them, and helping stocks forget all about the weak Asian session.

NFIB Small Business Optimism Fades; Outlook For Economy PlungesSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 07/08/2014 09:30 -0400
For a brief month of "we've been down so long, everything looks up", the NFIB Small Business survey suggested the 'recovery' was real and so serial extrapolators (throwing out the 'and small business is the engine of job growth' meme) jumped on it as 'proof' that stocks are cheap and bonds should be sold... then comes June data today (and it's a disaster). 6 of the NFIB's 10 indicators decreased, with about half of the decline in the overall index due to less confidence in future business conditions, the report said, with only 2 indicators improving. CapEx dropped, Sales expectations dropped, 'good time to expand' dropped, actual sales dropped with only hiring plans rising (which seems odd in the face of all the negativity in the rest of the survey) - we will see.

Economic "Hope" Vs. Indicators Of Economic RealitySubmitted by Tyler Durden on 06/11/2014 15:24 -0400
There is much hope that after a dismal Q1 GDP report of -1% annualized growth in the domestic economy, that Q2 will see a sharp rebound of between 3-4% according to the bulk of economists. The Federal Reserve is predicting that the U.S. economy will grow as strongly as 2.8% in real terms for the entirety of 2014. The achievement of the Fed's rather lofty goal would require a real 4% annualized growth in each of the next three quarters. The problem with this assumption is that the last time that the U.S. economy grew at 4% or more, over three consecutive quarters, was in 1983.

Sharp USDJPY Overnight Sell Off Pushes US Equity Futures Into The RedSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 06/11/2014 07:01 -0400
Yesterday's market action was perfectly predictable, and as we forecast, it followed the move of the USDJPY almost to a tick, which with the help of a last minute VIX smash (just when will the CFTC finally look at the "banging the close" in the VIX by the NY Fed?) pushed the DJIA to a new record high, courtesy of the overnight USDJPY selling which in turn allowed all day buying of the key carry pair. Fast forward to today when once again we have a replica of the set up: a big overnight dump in USDJPY has sent the dollar-yen to just over 102.000. And since Nomura has a green light by the BOJ to lift every USDJPY offer south of 102.000 we expect the USDJPY to once again rebound and push what right now is a weak equity futures session (-8) well above current levels. Unless, of course, central banks finally are starting to shift their policy, realizing that they may have lost control to the upside since algos no longer care about warnings that "volatility is too low", knowing full well the same Fed will come and bail them out on even the tiniest downtick. Which begs the question: is a big Fed-mandated shakeout coming? Could the coming FOMC announcement be just the right time and place for the Fed to surprise the market out of its "complacency" and whip out an unexpected hawk out of its sleeve?

We all remember Casey Hampton eating his way out of the Steelers lineup in training camp a few years ago. Mike Tomlin put him on the PUP list and for those that visited training camp,it was a regular site to see him working off to the side with one of the team trainers, or riding a stationary bike alone. Now with Alameda Ta'amu on the roster, the Big Snack II or The Coliseum or "The Big Ketchup Bottle" as some are starting to call him, you start to think if we could see an issue in the future with his weight being a problem. These huge tackles are trained athletes too, don't let their size full you. These players still run wind sprints in camp and they still do the same workouts as other players, allbeit not quite as fast as say a Mike Wallace does necessarily but they are still held to a standard based on their position on the team. For Ta'amu, he recently talked about his past problems with keeping his weight under control and how all of that is behind him now. The Pittsburgh Tr...

Is This the Next Bike You're Going to See Riding Around Fort Collins? [PHOTOS]

Riding a bike anywhere can be a tad daunting, but especially in Fort Collins. Keep yourself and kids prepared with a skills class on November 8.
What a great way to spend time with your family. Gather up your bikes and head to Sanborn Park this Tuesday for one fantastic bike ride.
The City of Greeley is coming up with a Bicycle Master Plan and see your input before they begin to make things easier, fun and more safe for the bicycle community.
What is a bike library anyway and it's free? I love this idea and many cities are catching on for many reasons and it's truly a win-win situation for everyone.
Fort Collins is a "Platinum Bicycle Friendly Community," and that's really something to be proud of. But with so many people riding bikes everywhere, theft is bound to be a problem; and unfortunately, it's a big problem in Fort Collins.
I asked you on Saturday how you felt. I wanted to know if you thought that it was pretty cool or if you were frustrated with trying to get around NOCO. Well the results are in and again, I am proud to live in this kind and positive state. So what are the results about the USA Pro Challenge in you backyard? Come along with me....
The city is considering joining Breckenridge, Dillon, and other areas in adopting a "Stop-As-Yield" law for bicyclists.
Todd Harding's wife Jenny accidentally sold his bicycle at a garage sale...LAST SUMMER! The funny thing is, Todd didn't even notice til yesterday. The good news: Todd got a new bicycle yesterday, this is not it. Click to find out what the new one looks like.
I was on my way home from New Mexico Sunday while doing some soul searching and ran into Jim Ellison at a rest area. What a great human being and what he is doing is just amazing considering Jim's frame was not made so much for bicycling.
In October, Cyclist Lance Armstrong lost his credibility as an amazing athlete. Armstrong is now banned from competition for life and was stripped of his Tour Titles.
When I was a kid I rode my bike all the time, but I couldn't ride it to school. It was too far. I was a 1-hour bus ride from town. The City of Fort Collins & the Poudre School District are encouraging students to ride their bikes to school tomorrow to celebrate Bike to School Day!

celebrity life
ELIZABETH Hurley has been accused of pushing and swearing at a popular television sports reporter at Perth Airport.
Media at the airport were interviewing Shane Warne in the wake of his Melbourne Stars' thriller against the Perth Scorchers in the BBL last night when Channel 10's Caty Price was shoved and told to "f*** off" by the actress.
Price told 6PR Radio this morning that Ms Hurley "walked into the back of me" and said it was "rude to stand in front of people".
"I then asked her, 'Liz what did you think of the game last night?' and she spun around on her heels and said 'I think you should...' mouthed to me close up to my face 'F off.'," Price said.
"And then (she) did another spin and flick of the hair and strutted off with Shane."

Dave of Melbourne, I agree. Why does the headline read "popular" journo!? Can you blame Liz for being catty - she's here supporting her partner in his chosen field, and she gets questions thrown at her from the media while trying to board her plane... At the same time, you have to wonder if she's insecure - perhaps she thinks our "popular journo" is trying to get her claws into Shane =)

Given that journalists are amongst the rudest, disrespectful and most invasive people on the planet in their efforts to get meaningless sound bites, they deserve what they get. Not that I am a celebrity, but if anyone were to stick a microphone in my face without warning and expect a comment without notice, I would make sure that the microphone rapidly found its way to a very dark place. Too many journos/reporters are willing to dish it out, but are not prepared to take it without whining.

Right, and I'm just so sure the reporter was the epitome of politeness, coming up from behind someone to shove her mic 1 cm from Ms Hurleys' face, at the end of a long day. And if a few naughty words makes Ms Price go whining, maybe she needs to be in a different line of work.

Bogans, the pair of them. Fair enough Price is probably ion her way (i'll wait to see the footage on the 7pm Project before making my mind up, but smoking at the WACA ain't on. Just because you're rich, doesn't entitle you to break the rules. Same goes for you too, Shane. Enjoy your ban.

Why do these divas spend their lives fighting for the headlines, then get angry when people take an interest in them.....they are expected to give a little back for all the millions they take from the public!

Spot On Dave!! Why is it the reporters can do whatever they want and its always the celebrity at fault... sounds to me this reporter pushed in front of Liz to get to Shane and wondered why she got a response! Way to go Liz!!!

"Woman ignorantly blocks a walkway" would be a more accurate description.

sports journalist why....are you even talking to Liz Hurley ...and just innocently standing in front of Liz....Liz just came out of the blue...shoved her and told her where to go... NOT the whole story I bet....sadly journalists can't be trusted to tell the truth...and sadly there is no such thing as a ''popular journalist''. ...

How ironic for a small town hungry reporter who is part of an annoying pack in a media scrum at the airport to complain about being pushed and swore at? I have unwittingly been in the middle of these scrums before and the reporters and camera ops are always so brutal to eachother and the talent/entourage. I don't blame Liz for telling this girl to F Off in this moment. I would too. Warnie and Liz give so much to the media already.. and have done wonders for promoting the sport internationally and domestically. Let them get through an airport in peace!

If Liz Hurley laid a hand on you file an assault complaint with Police.

pffft. Liz Hurley? Not worth even discussing. She is just another pom walking into Perth.

Yeah right...she walked into the back of the journalist, then spun around to reply. If you will into the back of someone you are generally facing their way already. I'm betting she walked into the the journalist coz she, along with others were crowding their personal space and shoving mics in their faces...I'm not a fan personally but they shouldn't have to put up with being jostled by media.

You can't be seriously writing an article about how bad a celebrity spoke to a journalist at an airport. Sorry but you're invading her privacy and I've got zero sympathy for you

She has nothing to do and probably is bored. Give her a work visa so she can work as a check out chick

Journos can "give it", but sadly cannot "take it". Shouting questions at people you dont know hardly suffices as an interview, more like verbal assault.

Those 'journalists' are so annoying and so aggressive. I think she got a little bit of what she deserves.
