ABSTRACT: The Google Glass is a mobile device designed to be worn as eyeglasses. This form factor enables new usage possibil-ities, such as hands-free video chats and instant web search. However, its shape also hampers its potential: (1) battery size, and therefore lifetime, is limited by a need for the de-vice to be lightweight, and (2) high-power processing leads to significant heat, which should be limited, due to the Glass' compact form factor and close proximity to the user's skin. We use the Glass in a case study of the power and thermal characteristics of optical head-mounted display devices. We share insights and implications to limit power consumption to increase the safety and utility of head-mounted devices.
Conference Paper: K2: a mobile operating system for heterogeneous coherence domains[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Mobile System-on-Chips (SoC) that incorporate heterogeneous coherence domains promise high energy efficiency to a wide range of mobile applications, yet are difficult to program. To exploit the architecture, a desirable, yet missing capability is to replicate operating system (OS) services over multiple coherence domains with minimum inter-domain communication. In designing such an OS, we set three goals: to ease application development, to simplify OS engineering, and to preserve the current OS performance. To this end, we identify a shared-most OS model for multiple coherence domains: creating per-domain instances of core OS services with no shared state, while enabling other extended OS services to share state across domains. To test the model, we build K2, a prototype OS on the TI OMAP4 SoC, by reusing most of the Linux 3.4 source. K2 presents a single system image to applications with its two kernels running on top of the two coherence domains of OMAP4. The two kernels have independent instances of core OS services, such as page allocator and interrupt management, as coordinated by K2; the two kernels share most extended OS services, such as device drivers, whose state is kept coherent transparently by K2. Despite platform constraints and unoptimized code, K2 improves energy efficiency for light OS workloads by 8x-10x, while incurring less than 6% performance overhead for a device driver shared between kernels. Our experiences with K2 show that the shared-most model is promising.Proceedings of the 19th international conference on Architectural support for programming languages and operating systems; 02/2014
Conference Paper: SmartAds: bringing contextual ads to mobile apps[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A recent study showed that while US consumers spent 30% more time on mobile apps than on traditional web, advertisers spent 1600% less money on mobile ads. One key reason is that unlike most web ad providers, today's mobile ads are not contextual---they do not take into account the content of the page they are displayed on. Thus, most mobile ads are irrelevant to what the user is interested in. For example, it is not uncommon to see gambling ads being displayed in a Bible app. This irrelevance results in low clickthrough rates, and hence advertisers shy away from the mobile platform. Using data from top 1200 apps in Windows Phone marketplace, and a one-week trace of ad keywords from Microsoft's ad network, we show that content displayed by mobile apps is a potential goldmine of keywords that advertisers are interested in. However, unlike web pages, which can be crawled and indexed offline for contextual advertising, content shown on mobile apps is often either generated dynamically, or is embedded in the apps themselves; and hence cannot be crawled. The only solution is to scrape the content at runtime, extract keywords and fetch contextually relevant ads. The challenge is to do this without excessive overhead and without violating user privacy. In this paper, we describe a system called SmartAds to address this challenge. We have built a prototype of SmartAds for Windows Phone apps. In a large user study with over 5000 ad impressions, we found that SmartAds nearly doubles the relevance score, while consuming minimal additional resources and preserving user privacy.Proceeding of the 11th annual international conference on Mobile systems, applications, and services; 06/2013

ABSTRACT: Mobile systems are embracing heterogeneous architectures by getting more types of cores and more specialized cores, which allows applications to be faster and more efficient. We aim at exploiting the hardware heterogeneity from the browser without requiring any changes to either the OS or the web applications. Our design, Guadalupe, can use hardware processing units with different degrees of capability for matched browser services. It starts with a weak hardware unit, determines if and when a strong unit is needed, and seamlessly migrates to the strong one when necessary. Guadalupe not only makes more computing resources available to mobile web browsing but also improves its energy proportionality. Based on Chrome for Android and TI OMAP4, We provide a prototype browser implementation for resource loading and rendering. Compared to Chrome for Android, we show that Guadalupe browser for rendering can increase other 3D application's frame rate by up to 767% and save 4.7% of the entire system's energy consumption. More importantly, by using the two cases, we demonstrate that Guadalupe creates the great opportunity for many browser services to get better resource utilization and energy proportionality by exploiting hardware heterogeneity.
Conference Paper: Supporting distributed execution of smartphone workloads on loosely coupled heterogeneous processors[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Modern smartphones are embracing asymmetric, loosely coupled processors that have drastically different performance-power tradeoffs. To exploit such architecture for energy proportionality, both application and OS workloads need to be distributed. We propose Kage, a combination of runtime and OS support, to replicate application execution and OS functions over asymmetric processors. Kage selectively creates replicas of application and OS services and maintains state consistency for them with low overhead. By doing so, it is able to reduce processor energy consumption of light-loaded smartphones manyfold. While enabling energy-proportionality, Kage simplifies application programming by providing the illusion of a single system image and per-process address spaces.Proceedings of the 2012 USENIX conference on Power-Aware Computing and Systems; 10/2012

ABSTRACT: To accomplish frequent, simple tasks with high efficiency, it is necessary to leverage low-power, microcontroller-like processors that are increasingly available on mobile systems. However, existing solutions require developers to directly program the low-power processors and carefully manage inter-processor communication. We present Reflex, a suite of compiler and runtime techniques that significantly lower the barrier for developers to leverage such low-power processors. The heart of Reflex is a software Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) that enables shared memory objects with release consistency among code running on loosely coupled processors. In order to achieve high energy efficiency without sacrificing performance much, the Reflex DSM leverages (i) extreme architectural asymmetry between low-power processors and powerful central processors, (ii) aggressive compile-time optimization, and (iii) a minimalist runtime that supports efficient message passing and event-driven execution. We report a complete realization of Reflex that runs on a TI OMAP4430-based development platform as well as on a custom tri-processor mobile platform. Using smartphone sensing applications reported in recent literature, we show that Reflex supports a programming style very close to contemporary smartphone programming. Compared to message passing, the Reflex DSM greatly reduces efforts in programming heterogeneous smartphones, eliminating up to 38% of the source lines of application code. Compared to running the same applications on existing smartphones, Reflex reduces the average system power consumption by up to 81%.

ABSTRACT: Mobile browser is known to be slow because of the bottleneck in resource loading. Client-only solutions to improve resource loading are attractive because they are immediately deployable, scalable, and secure. We present the first publicly known treatment of client-only solutions to understand how much they can improve mobile browser speed without infrastructure support. Leveraging an unprecedented set of web usage data collected from 24 iPhone users continuously over one year, we examine the three fundamental, orthogonal approaches a client-only solution can take: caching, prefetching, and speculative loading, which is first proposed and studied in this work. Speculative loading predicts and speculatively loads the subresources needed to open a web page once its URL is given. We show that while caching and prefetching are highly limited for mobile browsing, speculative loading can be significantly more effective. Empirically, we show that client-only solutions can improve the browser speed by about 1.4 second on average for web sites visited by the 24 iPhone users. We also report the design, realization, and evaluation of speculative loading in a WebKit-based browser called Tempo. On average, Tempo can reduce browser delay by 1 second (~20%).

ABSTRACT: Sensing on smartphones is known to be power-hungry. It has been shown that this problem can be solved by adding an ultra low-power processor to execute simple, frequent sensor data processing. While very effective in saving energy, this resulting heterogeneous, distributed architecture poses a significant challenge to application development. We present Reflex, a suite of runtime and compilation techniques to conceal the heterogeneous, distributed nature from developers. The Reflex automatically transforms the developer's code for distributed execution with the help of the Reflex runtime. To create a unified system illusion, Reflex features a novel software distributed shared memory (DSM) design that leverages the extreme architectural asymmetry between the low-power processor and the powerful central processor to achieve both energy efficiency and performance. We report a complete realization of Reflex for heterogeneous smartphones with Maemo/Linux as the central kernel. Using a tri-processor hardware prototype and sensing applications reported in recent literature, we evaluate the Reflex realization for programming transparency, energy efficiency, and performance. We show that Reflex supports a programming style that is very close to contemporary smartphone programming. It allows existing sensing applications to be ported with minor source code changes. Reflex reduces the system power in sensing by up to 83%, and its runtime system only consumes 10% local memory on a typical ultra-low power processor.

ABSTRACT: We report a study on the effectiveness of the mobile browser's cache. The study is based on the browsing history from 24 smartphone users over one year. We make two interesting findings. Firstly, increasing the cache size of the browser on smartphones will not improve the effectiveness of the browser cache very much. Secondly, revalidations greatly reduce the effectiveness of the browser cache. The findings reveal the limitations of the cache design for mobile browsers and motivate a new level of cache design and speculative revalidation and loading.

ABSTRACT: We report the first work that examines the internals of web browsers on smartphones, using the WebKit codebase, two generations of Android smartphones, and webpages visited by 25 smart-phone users over three months. We make many surprising findings. First, over half of the webpages visited by smartphone users are not optimized for mobile devices. This highlights the importance of client-based optimization and the limitation of prior work that only studies mobile webpages. Second, while prior work suggests that several compute-intensive operations should be the focus of optimization, our measurement and analysis show that their improvement will only lead to marginal performance gain with existing webpages. Furthermore, we find that resource loading, ignored by all except one prior work, contributes most to the browser delay. While our results agree with a recent network study showing that network round-trip time is a major problem, we further demonstrate how the internals of the browser and operating system contribute to the browser delay and therefore reveal new opportunities for optimization.
Conference Paper: RhythmLink: securely pairing I/O-constrained devices by tapping.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We present RhythmLink, a system that improves the wireless pairing user experience. Users can link devices such as phones and headsets together by tapping a known rhythm on each device. In contrast to current solutions, RhythmLink does not require user interaction with the host device during the pairing process; and it only requires binary input on the peripheral, making it appropriate for small devices with minimal physical affordances. We describe the challenges in enabling this user experience and our solution, an algorithm that allows two devices to compare imprecisely-entered tap sequences while maintaining the secrecy of those sequences. We also discuss our prototype implementation of RhythmLink and review the results of initial user tests.Proceedings of the 24th Annual ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology, Santa Barbara, CA, USA, October 16-19, 2011; 01/2011
Conference Paper: Dandelion: a framework for transparently programming phone-centered wireless body sensor applications for health.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Many innovative mobile health applications can be enabled by augmenting wireless body sensors to mobile phones, e.g. monitoring personal fitness with on-body accelerometer and EKG sensors. However, it is difficult for the majority of smartphone developers to program wireless body sensors directly; current sensor nodes require developers to master node-level programming, implement the communication between the smartphone and sensors, and even learn new languages. The large gap between existing programming styles for smartphones and sensors prevents body sensors from being widely adopted by smartphone applications, despite the burgeoning Apple App Store and Android Market. To bridge this programming gap, we present Dandelion1, a novel framework for developing wireless body sensor applications on smartphones. Dandelion provides three major benefits: 1) platform-agnostic programming abstraction for in-sensor data processing, called senselet, 2) transparent integration of senselets and the smartphone code, and 3) platform-independent development and distribution of senselets. We provide an implementation of Dandelion on the Maemo Linux smartphone platform and the Rice Orbit body sensor platform. We evaluate Dandelion by implementing real-world applications, and show that Dandelion effectively eliminates the programming gap and significantly reduces the development efforts. We further show that Dandelion incurs a very small overhead; in total less than 5% of the memory capacity and less than 3% of the processor time of a typical ultra low power sensor.Proceedings of Wireless Health 2010, WH 2010, San Diego, CA, USA, October 5-7, 2010; 01/2010

Britney Spears and Kevin Federline have mutually agreed to a custody arrangement in January, TMZ has learned.
The agreement was just filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, "Britney and Kevin will have joint legal custody of their two children, one-year-old Sean Preston and four-month-old Jayden James. Britney will have the lion's share of physical custody. Kevin's physical custody is extremely limited. He will be allowed to be with the children from noon to 4:00 on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at Spears' residence. Under the agreement, Spears can be present, but no one may interfere with Federline's right to be with the children."
Federline is also allowing Spears to take the children to Florida for one week in January. This joint custody agreement is only for the month of January.
Originally Spears had asked for sole physical and legal custody of their two children. Federline responded one day later asking for the same thing.

"I have never done the personalized card thing before, so I was not sure what to expect. The prints were gorgeous! Thank you, I wish I had ordered more than 15. I will be using tiny prints again and again."
"I love the quality of the paper and printing. Nice weight to the card. Family and Friends enjoyed receiving our Christmas card."
"I used this card as a New Year's card. The design professional adjusted the writing ever to slightly to fully enhance the details of my photo. Many compliments from friends on completed card, nice stock, quality coloring."
"This card came in a couple color options which I thought was great to correspond with the picture I picked. The quality of this paper was exactly what I expected it was thick like card stock and not like a photo which I enjoyed so it didn't bend. I was also able to write nicely on the back without it showing or making engravement type markings on the front side. The picture came out great and was not distorted or different color quality than the original which was my worry when ordering. I am so happy with this product."
"beautiful design, card, quality and of course customer service. I got my cards even more quickly than I expected when I expedited them and they are lovely! The "glitter" on the back looks more like shimmering sand which I loved."

Howdy, friends! It's lovely, sunny, and warm, so I'm off on a run. Here are some interesting tidbits I found elsewhere on the world-wide timewasting web for those of you not enjoying perfect autumn weather today:
- Via RealClearBooks, Eleanor Barkhorn on "What Jeffrey Eugenidies Doesn't Understand About Women," after reading his new book, The Marriage Plot: "There's one way, however, in which [the protagonist] Madeleine defies believability: She has no true female friends. Yes, she has roommates and a sister with whom she once had 'heavy' emotional conversations, but these relationships are characterized more by spite than affection. And, sadly, The Marriage Plot is just the latest story to forget to give its heroine friends. There are countless other Madeleines in modern-day literature and film: smart, self-assured women who have all the trappings of contemporary womanhood except a group of friends to confide in." Have you noticed this about recent books and films? I have to say that I hadn't until Barkhorn pointed it out. She concludes, "The great irony, of course, is that the old-fashioned, marriage-plot-bound books that Eugenides attempts to modernize in his new novel actually do a better job of portraying female friendship than The Marriage Plot." I think I may read this anyway–a library codex copy of the book, of course–because I'm a huge fan of "marriage plot" authors like Jane Austen and the many Brontes, but Barkhorn makes an interesting argument here.
- Isn't it cute when right-wing religious nuts start condemning each other to hell? Robert Jeffress vs. Bill Donahue, plus all Catholics, Mormons, Buddhists, Hindus, and Muslims, of course. Taking victimology to new heights, Anita Perry cries that her handsome husband Rick has been "brutalized . . . because of his faith." Mark my words: the majority of Americans will not reward this kind of religious pride, which just stinks of hubris and un-neighborliness. Even if they privately agree with him, Americans are fundamentally uncomfortable with the Jeffress style of public religious condemnation.

French déjeuner "breakfast," later "lunch" (equivalent of Spanish desayuno "breakfast"), both from Vulgar Latin *disieiunare "to breakfast," from Latin dis- + ieiunare, jejunare "fast" (see jejune; also cf. dine). German Frühstück is from Middle High German vruostücke, literally "early bit." Old English had morgenmete "morning meal."

Duo Mat Powder Foundation
Duo Mat Powder Foundation provides everything a pressed-powder foundation should, and excels in each area.
Rouge Artist Intense
This is a lipstick lover's dream in terms of selection.
Add to Faves?
Make Up For Ever At-A-Glance
Strengths: The newer foundations have many wonderful qualities; impressive options (and shade ranges) for powders, powder blush, and powder eyeshadow; some extraordinary lip glosses and lipstick/lip color options (and again, the shade ranges are remarkable); a few formidable mascaras; good shimmer options; huge selection of praiseworthy makeup brushes.
Weaknesses: Expensive; a few products suffer from needlessly irritating ingredients; average toner; the foundations and concealers that have been in this line longest are behind the times; mostly average eye and lip pencils; mostly lackluster specialty products.
This Paris-based makeup collection traces its roots to theatrical and fashion makeup, building on the concept that a professional makeup artist not only desires, but also needs, every conceivable color and texture to create the broadest range of looks. Since 1984, Make Up For Ever creators Dany Sanz and Jacques Waneph have been doing their best to meet these criteria. Through the years, this line has gone from offering a tremendous array of colors in their own European boutiques to a more streamlined, "everyday" collection of products in selected department stores and (primarily) Sephora, whose parent company, LVMH, has owned Make Up For Ever since 1999.
The color line presents an intriguing blend of classic, workable shades positioned next to some truly unique hues and finishes that only those involved with theater or the most flamboyant "anything goes" makeup artist (or diva) would covet. A major plus for this line is that the majority of colors are densely pigmented and work beautifully on medium to deep skin tones. The drawback is that fair and lighter skin tones may be left feeling that most of the color choices are too intense for them, especially if their goal is a soft, natural makeup application—though the choices in that regard are becoming more plentiful. For those who literally want it all when it comes to possible shades, this line more than delivers what it takes to please.
An interesting aspect of this line is that, category to category, there's often a similar pattern: one or two extraordinary to very good products, followed by mediocrity. It is the average products (and a correspondingly fewer number of poor ones) that tarnish this line and make its prices seem too inflated. However, if you pay attention (and purchase) the products Make Up For Ever does best, you will undoubtedly be pleased.

Bowden: Mike Napoli negotiating with Red Sox, meeting with Mariners
Nov 22, 2012, 5:46 PM EDT
I don't trust Jim Bowden for rumors, but it's not as though anyone else is making baseball news on Thanksgiving:
Mike Napoli holding out for 4th year from Red Sox...meeting with Mariners who might be willing to give the extra year according to sources—
JIM BOWDEN (@JimBowdenESPNxm) November 22, 2012
Again, Bowden is prone to sounding way too confident about any nugget that comes his way. Still, this hardly sounds outlandish. Napoli is a good fit for the Red Sox, and most thought they'd be in on him. The Mariners are also in the market for bats, and if they added Napoli, it'd give them an interesting three-headed DH-catcher platoon between he, Jesus Montero and John Jaso. They could even play all three at the same time if first baseman Justin Smoak falls on his face again.
- 1943mrmojorisin1971 - Nov 22, 2012 at 6:27 PM
Why would the Mariners want Napoli when they have what is basically the same player but better in Montero? The Sox have wanted Napoli for a while (at least since they made that waiver claim a few years ago), my guess is he ends up there.
- Caught Looking - Nov 22, 2012 at 6:31 PM
If he wants/gets the fourth year, he won't end up in Boston (at least I sure hope he doesn't on a four year deal).
- Carl Hancock - Nov 22, 2012 at 6:39 PM
4 years for Napoli? The guy can rake but he's injury prone and will miss a good 50-60 games per year or more. 3 years is a stretch, 4 is crazy. On second thought, I hope the Red Sox do give him 4 years. It'll fit in nicely with the dumb contract they gave Gomes.
- proudlycanadian - Nov 22, 2012 at 7:25 PM
With top catching prospect, Mike Zunino in the minors, why would the Mariners want to give Napoli a 4 year contract either?
- uyf1950 - Nov 22, 2012 at 7:32 PM
The real question is: Why would anyone want to give Napoli 1 4 year contract.
- uyf1950 - Nov 22, 2012 at 7:33 PM
Ok my typing leaves a bit to be desired here tonight. Let's try that last comment again.
The real question is: Why would anyone want to give Napoli a 4 year contract.
- mikefoxtrot - Nov 22, 2012 at 10:47 PM
to avoid giving him a 5 year contract…….obviously.
- uyf1950 - Nov 22, 2012 at 7:30 PM
WOW, 4 years he's looking for. And if all the blogs are correct it would appear that the Red Sox would be looking at him as a part time 1st baseman and catcher. The Red Sox already have 2 part time catchers in David Ross who they just signed and overpaid for and Ryan Lavarnway. Then three still is Salty their 2012 full time catcher. Do the Red Sox believe in the "you can never have to many catchers on your active roster" plan?
Napoli is looking to basically parlay one very good year 2011 out of the last 3 years (2010 and 2012 were mediocre) into a big payday. And when you look at his splits for 2012 he couldn't hit left-handed pitching worth a lick .179 BA / .295 OBP / .411 SLG / .706 OPS
- uyf1950 - Nov 22, 2012 at 7:31 PM
correction: Then "there" is Salty their 2012….
- seattlenative57 - Nov 22, 2012 at 10:56 PM
Do NOT give Napoli 4-year deal!
- bostonboy82 - Nov 22, 2012 at 11:52 PM
Napoli knows Cherington is on drugs after seeing what Gomes got, so he might as well go big.
- theskinsman - Nov 24, 2012 at 5:25 AM
Yankee fans aren't allowed to say any team overpaid for anyone. It's a rule, I'm sure.

The future of the weight loss drug Meridia is still unclear.
A panel of experts has differing opinions on whether or not the drug should be pulled from the market.
A study out earlier this year found in overweight people who have cardiovascular problems, like diabetes or heart disease, Meridia raised their risk of heart attack or stroke 16 percent.
News 3 Medical Contributor Dr. Alan Xenakis says he hopes the FDA does pull Meridia off the market and raise awareness about these weight loss drugs.
"Weight loss drugs by definition will always have side effects," Xenakis said. "The problem is-- do they have side effects that outweigh the benefits? In my opinion no.
"It's great that the FDA is finally standing up, for the first time in history, in my opinion, after looking at the data without public opinion and saying, lets take a look at some of these weight loss drugs," Xenakis said. "They are not doing the kinds of things they should for our patients."
Meridia's fate is now in the hands of the FDA.
The agency will take the advisory panel's recommendation into consideration when it makes a final decision in the coming weeks.

Clinical and Forensic Interviewing of Children and Families is designed to help students and professionals in human services fields become competent clinical assessment and forensic interviewers. The impetus for writing this text was my renewed appreciation of the importance of the interview as an assessment tool. The human services field is evolving rapidly. More and more children are being referred for custody evaluations, maltreatment, depression, suicide attempts, and health-related conditions. Homelessness, AIDS, substance abuse, and crisis intervention have become extremely important areas for mental health professionals. The increase in managedhealth care programs places greater demands on all clinicians to provide time-limited, focused, and cost-effective service. There is less time and money for intense diagnostic study, despite the potential benefits. A text that addressed these topics was clearly needed.
This book is based on the philosophy that one cannot be a competent clinical assessment or forensic interviewer unless he or she has the relevant information about the child's presenting problem, as well as knowledge of the interventions that might help the child and family. Therefore, in this text, you will find information about the major problem areas encountered by children and their families and about interventions, along with suggestions for conducting interviews. You should consult additional references about the child's problem areas, as needed.
This book will benefit students and professionals in all human services fields, including social work, clinical psychology, counseling psychology, school psychology, rehabilitation psychology, health psychology, pediatric psychology, psychiatry, education, and speech therapy. In addition, professionals in such allied fields as medicine, nursing, law, and law enforcement have much to gain from reading it. This text provides both theoretical and practical guidelines to help students and professionals develop skills in interviewing children, adolescents, parents, families, and teachers.
One entire section of the book is devoted to the assessment of child maltreatment. Two considerations led me to give extensive coverage to this area. First, child maltreatment is of increasing concern to human services workers, as billions of dollars are being spent by governmental agencies for the investigation, care, and treatment of children who are alleged to have been maltreated or who have been maltreated. Second, the interview plays a critical role in the assessment of child maltreatment. The more you know about the pitfalls of interviewing in cases of child maltreatment, the more effective you will be in interviewing children and in presenting your findings in any criminal proceedings, in which interview techniques are sometimes challenged. The material in Section V will give you a foundation for understanding child maltreatment and a foundation for conducting child maltreatment interviews.
To conduct effective clinical assessment or forensic interviews with children and adolescents, you need to know about normal children and their families and about children who have developmental or behavioral problems or special needs. Although this book presents normal developmental landmarks and reviews features associated with several behavioral and medical problems found in children, I encourage you to read appropriate texts in normal child development and child psychopathology if you are unfamiliar with these areas.
"Jerome Sattler's Clinical and Forensic Interviewing of Children and Families is by far the best and most comprehensive resource on clinical interviewing with children and families that has ever been available. This exciting new volume by a master clinician-scholar is a contribution that will prove to be enormously useful to professionals and students who work with children and families. This book fills a large void in the field and is bound to become an instant classic."
--Eric J. Mash, University of Calgary
"Clinical and Forensic Interviewing of Children and Families will prove to be a landmark publication with respect to the interview process. It is a superb vehicle for teaching the skills required for successful interviewing. It is incredibly refreshing to have the opportunity to review a work that obviously has required much time, much research, much scholarship, and is definitely a labor of love. Dr. Sattler, thank you for a major contribution."
--Paula K. Lundberg-Love, University of Texas, Tyler
"Clinical and Forensic Interviewing of Children and Families is destined to be the classic text in its field. The book is both rich in facts and wise in counsel. The breadth of Dr. Sattler's scholarship is virtually unparalleled, and his acknowledgments make it quite clear that impressive specialists in nearly every field covered have cross-checked his work. The subsidiary materials consisting of figures, tables, and interview questionnaires will be priceless for those learning to interview as well as for professionals in the field."
--William A. Hillix, San Diego State University

I worked at General Electric for 15 years. Probably would have stayed longer, but the last time I was laid off I was never called back. In that time I worked both sides of Broadway, Winter Street and in the Taylor Street plant. I was always very proud of the people who worked there and the products we produced. I think it is a shame that the company did not share that same pride and closed down the Fort Wayne plants and let the buildings sit to rot.
In my opinion it's companies like G.E. that have contributed to the downfall of the middle class of this country. Of course our government hasn't helped by passing the trade laws that allowed these companies to move jobs en mass to other countries and leave so many Americans out of work.
Anyway, I'm not sure what other former G.E. workers think, but in my humble opinion G.E. should take the "General Electric" sign that has stood atop Building 4 for so many years and ship it to Mexico or China or wherever their newest manufacturing plant is located.
If they don't want to do that, they can store it in the basement of whichever building they are going to tear down first on the Broadway campus and let the building fall in on it. .It seems to me that would be a fitting end to a very long run of General Electric manufacturing in this town.
Reading back on this letter I've decided it sounds a little bit bitter. Then I decided there was good reason for that and I'm probably not the only one who feels that way.

When Isaac's mother starts hearing the voice of God demanding a sacrifice be made to prove her faith, Isaac escapes into the basement facing droves of deranged enemies, lost brothers and sisters, his fears, and eventually his mother. The Binding of Isaac is a randomly generated action RPG shooter with heavy Rogue-like elements.
Jun 28th, 2014 0 people agree 0 people don't
There are two main things about The Binding of Isaac that make it great: the fact that it is a roguelike and the wide variety of unique and interesting items it has. This makes for endless replayability, which can be displayed by YouTubers such as Northernlion who is well past his 800th video of it, and that only counts the runs he's done on camera.

I guess many of you know Edmund McMillen and his masterpiece Super Meat Boy. This is another one of his games, and this time Edmund was isporato bibbliche the story of the sacrifice of Isaac, only this time it will be the mother to sacrifice his son. Here we play as poor Isaac through dungeons, fighting monsters, and find power-ups that besides giving us power, we will also change appearance.
Being a game based on a story biblical, certainly no lack of religious references, such as the Christian cross, God, the 7 deadly sins, the pact with Satan, the Satanic symbols, and more.
Feb 4th, 2012 0 people agree 0 people don't
Once again a copy+paste from my Steam recommendation, because I'm lazy:
"A great, addictive and challenging rogue-like. A playthrough isn't really a matter of hours, but it still took me a total of 22 hours to finally beat the first playthrough. The humour is kind of sinister yet funny. The variety of items, enemies and bosses, procedural level generation and different unlockable characters make sure not a single playthrough is the same. Definitely worth the money! (Note: it might take an hour (or two) to really get into the game so give it some time :) )"

Can that be done on the Galaxy gear?
Posted via the Android Smartwatch Fans App!
Want Google Now notifications on your Pebble? Here's how to do it!
Google Now is one of my favorite features on Android. I find myself getting all kinds of useful info throughout the day — everything from weather to shows to watch to travel time back home. It's a great service that only seems to get better as time goes by. It's available on Android and iOS devices, but did you know that you can also get Google Now updates on your Pebble?
If you have an Android device it's super easy to setup. All you need to do is grab my favorite Pebble app, Pebble Notifier, from Google Play. Once you get that installed, run through the setup to get things going. Make sure that when you're choosing your app notifications you select Google Search. This is what will send your Google Now notifications to your Pebble.
So you'll get alerts for weather, sports updates, travels times and other goodies. Just keep in mind that these may happen quite often — whenever you get new cards you'll also get an alert. So choose wisely.
That's that — if you have any other great Pebble tips like this be sure to let us know!
Can that be done on the Galaxy gear?

I am also using Light Flow so that I can choose what Google Now notifications I want to receive on my pebble.
Posted via the Android Smartwatch Fans App!
Pebble Notifier isn't the only one. Check out "Rich Notification for Pebble" too if using Android (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.michy.richnotification...), it does the same but also has a few extra controls which are nice.

CRF230L Owners Check In
View Single Post
offroad junkie
Joined: Nov 2010
Location: citrus county, Fl
Oddometer: 210
Just got my 230L a couple weekends ago. The only other bike i was looking at was the KLR at the time. I was looking for the cheapest best option and the crf fell in that slot. Plus I've always been a Honda guy! The KLR had a few perks over the CRF but I plan on passing the bike on to my wife as soon as it becomes too tame for me.
I'm sitting just under 180 miles right now and I love it! Most of the roads I travel are 45mph so I always have enough power to get around in traffic. Off road I think it handles great. I've rode and raced quads for about 8 years and this is the first 2 wheeler i've owned and the crf made the transition very easy. Can't wait to pipe it and mod that air box a bit to pull a little more power out of it. Oh and swap the tires so the sugar sand isn't as much of a hassle.
