Did you jailbreak iOS 6 with evasi0n? [Poll]
[evasi0n], the iOS 6 and iPhone 5 jailbreak, has been live for a couple of days now, so we want to know: did you pull the trigger? And if so, why?
For some, jailbreak makes the mainstream iOS decidedly more pro-friendly, adding numerous tweaks, themes, and other features that not only round out, but complete the experience. For others, it makes a stable system just as decidedly unstable.
If you did jailbreak, tell us the features you couldn't live without, and what you've done to make your iPhone or iPad perfect for your needs. If you didn't jailbreak, tell us what concerns you have, or why the jailbreak features aren't, or are no longer, compelling for you.
I haven't jailbroken yet, though I'll jailbreak my secondary phone as soon as I have time so I can play around with it. Prior to iOS 5 I was jailbroken almost all the time, primarily for LockInfo and BiteSMS. iOS has come a long way now, often by copying jailbreak features. There's enough there that I don't feel the urgency any more. What am I missing out on?
There's no wrong or right answer, no one and only way to go. We just want to know which way you went and why?

Did you jailbreak iOS 6 with evasi0n? [Poll]
I jailbroke my iphone mainly because of Cleverpin. That Cydia app allows me to only mess with a lock-pin code when I'm away from my saved wifi-connections. When I'm at home or at work - I don't need a pin code. When I'm away and I might lose my phone/iPad, the device is locked and secure.
This is amazing. I'm always having to turn my code on whenever I'm away from home and turn or off when I get home. Thanks for this!
Love my job, since I've been bringing in $5600… I sit at home, music playing while I work in front of my new iMac that I got now that I'm making it online.(Click Home information)
I decided to jailbreak for the first time mainly to make my iPhone 4S easier to use. I'm severely disabled (quadriplegic) and have enough movement to make having such a device worthwhile but some things can certainly be easier than they are. So far the jailbreak has already improved things for me. For example the combination of Zephyr and Auxo has greatly reduced the need for me to press the home button and has also made the interface easier to navigate. Being able to quit all running apps simultaneously alone is a huge improvement over having to tap the tiny little "x" on every app in the multitasking bar. Things will improve even more when all the Siri tweaks (like the hands-free one) are made compatible with iOS 6.1.
I am a big supporter of Apple but frankly I've gotten a little tired of sitting around waiting for them to implement such obvious improvements like the ones that can be found on Cydia so I took the plunge and I'm glad I did so.
I did and I've I've been a long standing jail breaker in the past but having to wait so long for a new jailbreak, I've come to the conclusion I don't really need it any more!!!
There is not one tweak I find so invaluable, that its worth holding back on iOS updates sometimes for several iterations at a time!
I know a lot of people will think the opposite but that's my honest opinion, what I also find unacceptable is imagine paying as much as $20 for an app like MyWi ony to have it unavailable for several months at a time waiting for the next JB!?
I have never jailbroken any of my ios devices because I don't feel it takes away from my ios experience. How I feel if you feel you need to tweak anything in ios ecosystem then you simply do not belong in it. I know some may disagree but this is my opinion.
You may want to re-read and edit that - and not just because your opinion is raggedy.
re: "I have never jailbroken any of my ios devices because I don't feel it takes away from my ios experience. How I feel if you feel you need to tweak anything in ios ecosystem then you simply do not belong in it. I know some may disagree but this is my opinion."
If someone wants to change anything stock iOS doesn't allow for means they don't "belong" using it? It's early yet but I think that will probably be the most ignorant thing I hear all day. I've been jailbreaking since iOS 3. Back then I saw it as nearly essential as it opened to door to so much more functionality. Now I see it just a fun thing to do. Was definetely missing sbsettings on my 5 until now though and am very happy to have it back.
Debating. So far this is the only phone I have not jailbroken instantly because I feel there is no real need to do so. iOS6 brought a lot on to the table and of course, there are some nice apps to use.. IntelliScreenX was great but not much anymore. CallBar is still a very nice app to have but not really needed. SBSetting is still a great app, but with the great battery life of iphone 5, I just leave anything on now.
I wish we could get rid of the "TeamPure" silliness. TeamJailbreak/TeamPure were made up names back when Chad, Georgia & Renee were the regulars on the TipB podcast. I have never liked those names because, while fun & irreverant, it implies that people are either hard core into jailbreaking or hard core into being "pure". There are people on both sides that are that way but there are also many of us in the middle, myself included. I used to jailbreak, now I don't. I'm very "meh" about the whole thing. So it doesn't feel right to call me TeamPure. I'm TeamDon'tGiveADamnOneWayOrTheOther.
my pet peeve is the qualifiers in the polls. They could easily go "Yes" or "No" for the question "did you jailbreak?" but nope they added "teampure for life" which implies i'll never jailbreak again which isn't true. I may i may not. I haven't decided it's "for life" yet. The poll qualifier language always ruins meaning for me cause it rarely matches my state of mine.
yeah on my i always had trouble going fro JB to a pure upgrade. it always messed up or crashed, or i couldn't do over the air but no once did i not have to wipe my device which was annoying. So it's kinda nice to upgrade and not be one of the few people in forums asking about error messages or hangs.
I have jailbroken all of my previous iPhones dating back to the 3GS! And I loved everything about the jailbreak community!! They really make some great improvements on the OS in my opinion. But I do agree with apple in some degree as to performance issues taking place if you do jailbreak because I on a few occasions noticed slow data and features such as HD video sharing thru iMessage not working while jailbroken.
If apple will take anything more from the jailbreak community I hope it is something along the lines of bite SMS!!!!! This was the main reason why I ever jailbroke any divice. It is without a doubt in my mind the way apple should have made multitasking with messeging. So please apple take the concept and alter it how ever you want to give it your apple/iOS flair but please give is this feature!!!!
no i went pure with ios 6. I always had failed updates while jailbroken and had to reinstall everything. W/O jailbreak my updates go without incident. Plus there's nothing in cydia that interests me but the app that puts toggles in the notification center. I could live without that. Other than that the only reason i had was cracked apps and i just bit the bullet and bought the ones i actually wanted and used. I'm pretty happy if just to not have reinstall and recopy 40gbs of music everytime i try to update.
I would love to jb but last time I did on my 4, it really messed things up. I'm sure there is a fix for it but my phone got filled with "other" and I couldn't find the solution to get rid of it. It also started to really lag my phone. I have the 5 now and I have a feeling the lag wont be as much but I am still weary of it. Thoughts?
Jailbreaking has come along way with developers. I found jailbreaking offers functionality. Closing running apps in the background with one wipe, swiping up to close an app, cleaning up wasted cache on phone, multitasking etc.
Sure not a single alteration is needed due to the ease and flow of simplicity with the Iphone. But what you gain is a small computer that flows with efficiency for your everyday "smartphone" functions that are adaptable to your needs. Having a calendar on the home screen...the list goes on. Maybe you don't need that ! But, I appreciate the convenience.
*No lag, stability or battery life issues whatsoever.
I jail broke my iphone 5. I have been happy with it but really missed Intelliscreen, SBSettings, and Activator. Also I am trying BiteSMS for the first time and love it so far. This jailbreak seems very stable.
With this jailbreak I am installing minimal tweaks. I've gotten use to my stock iPhone 5. I installed BiteSMS, browserchooser to get google chrome default, mapsopener for Google Maps and fake carrier to remove the Verizon name.
Next I will install, 2 row app switcher to take advantage of the extra real estate iPhone has to offer. I feel Apple made the iPhone 5 larger but hasn't done much to take advantage of the additional space.
I jailbroke. I never have before, but I was/am fed up with AT&T screwing me. I have grandfathered unlimited data. I can't do a personal hotspot because I'm not on a tier data plan and I can't do FaceTime (off wifi) either. Plus those bastards won't give me the good pricing on the iPhone 5 even though I've gotten FIVE iPhones when they came out in the past at the good pricing. Why does a customer who's been with them the longest get screwed?
thats pretty weird. I have AT&T, never had an iPhone before this, and I did an early upgrade (about a year before my contract is up), and they gave me an awesome deal on the 5. They did the same with my last phone. The two times I've gotten a new phone, AT&T discounted it for me. and by a good amount too. We personally haven't ever had any problems with them. But different people have different experiences.
iOS is Boring! Looking at the same stuff over 5 years!
Had to get a brightness dimmer in the notifications bar among other things
Same here. Lost my Phone pane in Settings, and it messed up Messages. Was also having Bluetooth issues, so I restored to stock 6.1.
Yes for IntelliscreenX and Auxo the new task switcher rocks. Octopus keyboard is a must. Those 3 items are essentially to me
I've been jailbroken for the last few years with rarely ever a problem, until about 3 months ago. Something went wrong and since I had last updated the firmware OTA, I was stuck with the only option to restore to stock 6.0.1. While I was back to stock, I missed many of my jailbreak tweaks like SBsettings, BiteSMS, Winterboard, Infinifolders, Infinidock, 3GUnrestrictor, Tetherme, Zephyr, Barrel, and all the Siri add-ons. Once the new jailbreak was available, back I went. Some tweaks are not yet 6.1 compatible, but that will come in time. For now, I'm happy to be back on my jailbreak. Apple has still not included all the function that a good jailbreak can. Do you remember when iOS had not included cut-n-paste and video recording? Yes, jailbreakers had that first. That seems life a lifetime ago. iOS continues to improve but, a long way still to go.
I did it just to see what all the hype was about & to add a bit of fun to my iPhone 5. So far so good, haven't had any issues. When I get sick of it, I'll go back to stock but I like having an option.
I have iPhone 5 as well as iphone3gs , I jail Brocken my iPhone first time in my life ( 3GS only) , bcz I feel bit boring in iOS , I'm using iPhone from last 5yrs . After jail break , I really liked some apps , which is very useful for me ,( NC Setting) I dint understand why apple not applied these features till now . I also liked and found useful -activator, unfold , winter board and zeppelin

The 11th Annual Deer Festival and Outdoor Show is once again upon us. As cooling temperatures and shorter days have many residents anticipating deer season, individuals and organizations scramble to put the finishing touches on their projects as attendees prepare for hours of family fun and events to keep their family entertained. The event is an annual mainstay for sportsman and individuals who enjoy the outdoors since 2002.
The Pride of Antlers Marching Band will usher in the official start of the festival on Friday morning at 8:30 a.m., with musical entertainment slated throughout the two day event. Some of the acts include: The Danny Baker Band, The Calvin Smith Band, Just 3 More, Muddy Boggy and many more.
In addition to the musical entertainment, the contests are also a popular part of this festival. One of the most anticipated contests is the Chili Cook-off. Cook-off groups will meet on Saturday morning and begin concocting their masterpieces, that will be available for public tasting at the conclusion of the contest.
Another popular staple of the festivities is the Cutest Kids in Camo contest. This will also take place on Saturday as the contestants take the stage at 5:00 p.m.
Drawings will be held at the conclusion of the festival, Saturday at 7:00 p.m. This year instead of the traditional Cabin drawing, donators to the cause will be entered to win a brand new ATV just in time for deer season.

WILLIAMSON — "Mingo County weeps for the loss of our beloved sheriff, Eugene Crum," said County Commission President John Mark Hubbard, during a press conference held on the courthouse steps at 6 p.m. on Wednesday.
"To say that today's events are dark and surreal doesn't begin to illustrate the tragedy that is the loss of Sheriff Crum."
Walter Eugene Crum, 59, served as the sheriff of Mingo County for only three months and two days. Hubbard stated that serving in that capacity had been a lifelong dream fulfilled for him.
"Our sheriff has literally given his life for public service," Hubbard said. "He began his career as a corrections officer before serving with the Matewan and Delbarton Police Departments. He served 10 years on the bench as a Mingo County Magistrate, four of those being as chief magistrate. While waiting to take the office as sheriff, he served as a special investigator for the Mingo County Prosecutor's office."
"One of the things so unique about Sheriff Crum was that he was the only man to ever be elected as the Sheriff of Mingo County that had graduated the West Virginia State Police (WVSP) Academy."
Hubbard remarked that Eugene's passion for law enforcement and for Mingo County was especially evident since he took office on January 1, 2013. According to Hubbard, Eugene, his deputies, and other law enforcement agencies in Mingo County worked tirelessly to wipe out crime, especially targeting the drug dealers who spread the disease of addition among the residents of our county.
"These efforts did not go unnoticed as countless residents expressed their appreciation to him and others for a job well done. We were – and are – proud of him and his service."
Mingo County Drug Task Force Commander C.D. Rockel will step into the leadership position for the sheriff's department, until commission members decide on their next move. Remarks were made by commissioners that Rockel's skills and knowledge would provide the proper direction for the officers and lead them down the right path during this difficult time.
WVSP Captain Dave Nelson addressed those in attendance and stated that the alleged shooter, Tennis Maynard, of Ragland, was located by a sheriff's deputy a short time after the incidents occurred and when approached, drew his gun and was subsequently shot by the officer.
Maynard was transported to the Logan Regional Medical Center and was then flown to Cabell Huntington Hospital where he is listed in serious condition. The shooting, according to Nelson, was completely justified.
"This officer is a hero, it's truly hard to say what the intention of the shooter was at that time," stated Commander Rockel. "The officer possible saved a number of lives by taking quick and appropriate action."
The handgun allegedly used to murder Sheriff Crum was confiscated from Maynard's vehicle, and was identified by MCSD Sgt. Joe Smith as a compact .40 caliber Glock handgun.
Commissioner Dave Baisden spoke with the Daily News and said he had been blessed to have the sheriff as a friend since the 1970's, and stated that this is one of the hardest things he has ever had to deal with.
"I never dreamed that anything like this would ever happen in this county," said Baisden. "We need to rally around Rosie (Eugene's wife) and the kids and help them through this any way we can. I ask that everyone please pray for God to give them comfort in this time of despair."
A candlelight vigil for the slain sheriff will be held Thursday evening at 8 p.m., on the courthouse steps. The public is encouraged to attend. In an effort to honor Eugene's memory, the "Sheriff Eugene Crum Memorial Fund" has been established at the Community Trust Bank, acct. # 4003143965.
"We ask not only the residents of our county and of our state to keep the Crum family in your prayers, but all of America," said Hubbard. "Please pray for the healing of our county."

Jago Blair's debut album to drop Sept. 11Written by Matt Liasse | | email@example.com
The sixth track on Jago Blair's self-titled debut album is called "Roll On Blues (It'll Be Alright)"—a phrase that has become a mantra for member Anthony Martinez.
The rapper said while recording the album, he went through a dark place emotionally for six months. It wasn't until after when he realized everything would "be alright."
"I just went through a weird stage mentally. I really didn't know if my best was good enough [concerning other things], not music," Martinez said. "But I continued to write the album and it sort of became fun; it was like putting together a puzzle. It helped me feel better. Once the album was almost done, I was back."
Martinez said everyone has to go to that place sometimes.
"I am, right now, probably where I really need to be mentally; I just really needed to step away from the business side," Martinez said. "I was nervous that I wasn't alright. … [I have faith] in laying the cards out there and letting it all play out."
Jago Blair consists of Martinez and his brother R.J. (Third member Dominic Perna recently joined.) Their album can be found online at jagoblair.com starting Sept. 11. For the record, Martinez teamed up with his brother for a mixture of hip-hop and classic rock. Although similar to the sound of The Beastie Boys or Kid Rock, Martinez said he wanted to do something different than everyone else for the record. Jago Blair's sound is more laid back and bluesy, Martinez said.
"I didn't want to be the guy who made the rock/rap album," Martinez said. "I didn't want to be that guy. … We wanted to create a new genre, in some fashion."
R.J. said it took time for them to get comfortable with each other.
"Playing guitar and rap, it's hard to correlate it together sometimes," R.J. said.
Martinez, who works in marketing, said the album was in development for years. It started to form when he and his brother would get together and jam. They eventually took it more seriously and got studio time.
The brothers had a similar passion for music starting from an early age. When they were little, they would film skits and music videos to the tracks on Michael Jackson's "HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book 1."
"[Our dad] really pushed us to do that," Martinez said.
From the experience, they knew they wanted to perform themselves. They would perform for their family's events.
"Anytime we could do it, anytime we could be center stage, we would do it," Martinez said.
The brothers were born in the South and said it influenced their music.
"Actually, I wasn't too heavy into blues when I [lived there]," R.J. said. "But when I left Mississippi, I longed for Mississippi, so I was trying to capture anything I could take with me. I wanted it. The South is just a different flow. … Coming up north was kind of like a culture shock, so I just wanted what I knew, because that's what I grew up with through my whole childhood."
The album begins with an introduction track, which is half rhyming, half guitar solo. Martinez said it sets up the album's mood. The album consists of seven tracks; others include "Away We Go," "I Like My Loud" and "Suzie Q."
"I suggest when you listen to this album, listen to it from beginning to end the first time and make sure you're in the right mindset," Martinez said. "I want people to talk about it. I want people to wonder what was going through our heads or [wonder] 'Is this normal?' 'Is this right?'"
The two brothers recorded 31 songs together; the remaining 24 that didn't make the album will soon be released in sequels to "Jago Blair," Martinez said.
"We didn't release the best yet," he said.
Martinez said he continues to work to set an example for his 5-year-old son.
"If anything, to the day I die, if there's something I want him to say about me it's 'I never saw him give up.'" Martinez said.

Arizona Cardinals
Warner: Cardinals made mistake in trading Boldin
Back in March 2010, after winning back-to-back NFC West titles, the Arizona Cardinals made the decision to trade veteran wide receiver Anquan Boldin to the Baltimore Ravens for third and fourth round draft picks.
Many felt it was the wrong move at the time. Those same people had the opportunity to say 'I told you so' following Boldin's outstanding performance in Super Bowl XLVII Sunday. The 32-year-old had six catches for 104 yards and a touchdown in Baltimore's 34-31 win over the San Francisco 49ers.
Among those who felt the trade was a mistake three years ago: former Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner.
"In my opinion, no doubt," Warner said during an interview with Burns and Gambo on Arizona Sports 620 Monday. "You can look at Anquan and you can look at his tangibles -- how fast he runs and things like that.
"But there are special players in this game that have intangibles that want the ball when the game is on the line, that bring their competitiveness and bring guys up around them that want the ball in critical moments and say 'throw it to me, I will find a way to make a play,' -- that was always Anquan Boldin."
After being a second round pick of the Cardinals in 2003, Boldin immediately made his impact felt. The former Florida State star caught 10 passes for 217 yards and two touchdowns in his first NFL game, a 42-24 loss to the Detroit Lions.
Boldin would go on to play seven seasons in Arizona, and is still the Cardinals' fourth all-time leading receiver with 586 catches for 7,520 yards and 44 touchdowns.
"You can't let those kind of guys go because they're just not a dime a dozen," Warner said.
Boldin's stay in Arizona wasn't without controversy. During training camp in 2008, Boldin expressed disappointment with the Cardinals' failure to reward him with a contract extension. And then, during the NFC Championship Game that same season, Boldin had a heated exchange on the sideline with then-offensive coordinator Todd Haley. Boldin caught criticism for leaving the field during the postgame celebration instead of enjoying the franchise's first NFC Championship with teammates and fans.
"That incident with Anquan and Todd, I really believe that all of it stemmed from the same things," Warner explained. "I think it stemmed from the fact that he had given everything to this football team, and he felt, and I don't have the details, he felt that they said that they were going to re-do his deal and give him a contract and what they said didn't come to be.
"There was a lot of frustration that whole year. It was a difficult year for him across the board."
Boldin would play one more year in the desert in 2009, catching 84 passes for 1,024 yards and four touchdowns as the Cardinals won their second straight division crown.

Dead Man is one of my favorite movies with Johnny Depp in.
Love Depp. Next to Eastwood and Denzel he's my favorite actor.
Blow - he blew me away with his performance. Even George Jung said Johnny came to visit 3 times a week to get the part down right. When he left George said that "he walked like me, he talked like me, he even smoked a cigarette like me."
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - another epic performance. Depp even lived with Hunter S. Thompson in his basement for a short period and really immersed himself in the role.
Secret Window - was pretty good as well but not as good as the two mentioned above.
Some others I enjoyed:
Sleepy Hollow
Pirates of the Caribbean
Sweeney Todd
Corpse Bride
and I'm going to see Dark Shadows in the near future
Thanks for the Johnny Depp thread Srbo.
Patricia A + Johnny Depp = Jack Russel Terrier + a bucket of squirrels.
Anything with Johnny Depp is great to watch. Except "What's Eating Gilbert Grape". Didn't like that one. Loved 21 Jump Street.
Chocolat(mmmm....),Don Juan de Marko,Charlie and the Chocolate Factory ,Secret Window.He is so charismatic and also great actor...
I forgot Arizona dream
...even though I still think the costuming/make-up for his role as Tonto in "The Lone Ranger" is ludicrous, I feel he will play the role with honor-and not disgrace the pride nor spirit of the Native Americans...this boy's got heart-and in this day and age, stands out from the posers as a "real deal" Hollywood hero...
...I REALLY hope, that ain't one of our Jake's nephews velcroed to his noggin...
I think he's the greatest thing since sliced bread! I have watched a lot of his movies and find it hard to pick a favourite. If I had to choose one that stands out for me, it would be the first one I saw which was Benny and Joon. He was so adorable in that role, sigh...
I love Johnny Depp, I liked his performance in Secret Window as well. He's a great actor. If you see Johnny Depp among the cast of a movie, you can expect to see a brilliant performance. Even though I did not like Dark Shadows, I still enjoyed seeing Johnny Depp on the screen. I also liked Edward Scissorhands, Sweeny Todd, Pirates of the Caribbean, Alice in Wonderland - these are all great movies and he is the star.

So we are feeling a little confused about how to entertain our 5 month dd who is 3 months corrected. She has been able to hold her head up for over a month now. She seems to be very much a hybrid of both ages.
We have a swing, bouncy, mobile in crib and playmat. Of course we play with her too but we think that she may be ready for one of those activity toys/saucers. She seems to be bored or needs more entertainment. It seems like we need to do more varied things to play with? I don't know, maybe she's just doing what typical babies do and since we are first time parents, we just think we should always be doing more.
Any suggestions? I feel like she went from newborn to infant overnight so we feel a little lost all of a sudden!

Physical memory
Situation: On an IA-32 (i386) Linux system without a PAE kernel, how can you be sure that the correct amount of physical memory is being returned by the kernel? Without a PAE kernel, the system will report a maximum of 4GB physical memory. Note that this does not apply to x86_64 kernels, as they can address more than 4GB physical memory.
The easiest way I know of to determine the amount of physical memory in a Linux system is using dmidecode. The following works on RHEL 3, 4, and 5:
# dmidecode | perl -ne '$memory += $1 if /^\t+Size: (\d+)/ ; END { print "$memory\n" }' 8192
How much memory is being reported by the kernel?
# head -1 /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 3368120 kB
This example RHEL 5 IA-32 system should definitely be using a PAE kernel, or using an x86_64 kernel and distribution.
Similarly, dmidecode may also be used to tell you the number of physical processors in a system. If you are running a uniprocessor kernel, the kernel will report one CPU regardless of how many you have.
It is very unlikely that you would be running a non-SMP kernel with multiple physical processors, but here's a way to return the actual number of physical processors in on a uniprocessor kernel. The following works on RHEL 2.1, 3, 4, and 5 (note that all kernels are SMP-enabled on RHEL 5):
# dmidecode | perl -ne '$num_procs += 1 if /^\t+Type: Central Processor/ ; END { print "$num_procs\n"}' 2

Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are cultural achievements that reflect our humanity, power our economy, and constitute fundamental aspects of our lives that contribute to our nation's competitiveness. This collection considers difference school models of STEM education, highlights research on effective STEM education practices, and identifies conditions that promote and limit school success in STEM. These reports are essential for all educators, policy makers, decision makers in school districts, government agencies, curriculum developers, and parent and education advocacy groups.
Energy touches our lives in countless ways and its costs are felt when we fill up at the gas pump, pay our home heating bills, and keep our businesses running. Our country faces the challenge of developing an energy portfolio that addresses these concerns while still providing sufficient, affordable energy reserves for the nation. This collection analyzes the potential of a wide range of technologies for generation, distribution, and conservation of energy. These reports are necessary in assessing associated impacts and projected costs of increased energy efficiency, coal-fired power generation, nuclear power, renewable energy, oil and natural gas, and alternative transportation fuels.
How did life evolve on Earth? The answer can help us understand our past and prepare for our future. This collection documents the overwhelming evidence in support of biological evolution, stresses the importance of biodiversity and ecosystem management, and evaluates the alternative perspectives offered by various kinds of creationism. These reports also focus on how science and religion can be viewed as different ways of understanding the world, rather than as frameworks that are in conflict with each other. For educators, students, teachers, community leaders, legislators, policy makers, and parents who seek to better understand all aspects of evolutionary science, this collection is an essential resource.
Climate change is occurring, is caused largely by human activities, and poses significant risks for a broad range of human and natural systems. Human activities largely determine the evolution of the Earth's climate, which not only impact the next few decades, but the coming centuries and millennia. This collection emphasizes the importance of 21st century choices regarding long-term climate stabilization through improving understanding of the causes and consequences of climate change and expanding the options available to limit the magnitude of climate change.

Anyone else go to the event? I wanted to say it was an awesome event. When reaching the arena, I was impressed with the number of people that were already seated waiting for Stephen King's arrival on stage. I would say it was a mix between adults and college students. I rushed through the crowd, tripping over a few people and on the stairs, as I looked for the perfect seat. Luckily, I saw an empty spot down below right in front of the floor seats. I was asked by those seated next to me "Are you alone?" Indeed, I actually flew down from Cleveland to attend the event. It was wonderful to chat with so many Stephen King fans around me. On the stage were two chairs and we all debated if we had chosen the correct side or would be looking at King's back. We were all relieved when he came out (to a roar of the crowd) and sat in the chair facing us. From then on, I think I was in awe of the situation. I was in the same room with the author I had admired for years. The bonus - he was speaking! It was also like a rock concert. People were cheering, including me.
My favorite part was when he read his new story "Afterlife" He pulled out several printed pages, which I imagined came directly from his home computer. From the worker behind the desk mispronouncing the dead man's name (which was on purpose I think) to the way King brought out secrets of the two men in the story, but then still left some untold, it was a typical masterpiece.
I guess the biggest disappointment of the event was myself. I didn't bring the right camera and didn't move fast enough for the question and answer portion of the event. In my mind, I didn't expect to talk to him and I didn't know what question to ask. Silly me, I didn't have one in mind when I came. I was just focused on going to the event. The last person to ask a question, King told her to make it a good one. If I got that chance, I would have asked (because I do wonder) With having such a large collection of stories and billions (or is it millions) of words under his belt, I wonder how much editing or rewriting he does now. If you listened to the story "Afterlife" (which I hope it means that he is coming out with a new short story collection soon.) it's pretty flawless.
However, honestly, I am just happy I made the event because I had so much fun listening to him.
By the way, I did lock my rental car doors, but still checked my backseat anyway. You never know, a maniac might have the right tools to get in, even though you locked your doors. Thanks Stephen King for coming to Lowell!
Constant Reader, Angela

No RX Levaquin
[caption id="attachment_504" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Riders beg for mercy from Coleman Road"] No RX Levaquin, [/caption]
Just yesterday, yours truly was able to participate in the Inaugural Celebration of Levi's Gran Fondo.
The event was a huge success, with the ridership at the capped 3500 mark. Moreover, 50mg Levaquin, 250mg Levaquin, it was a great success for yours truly, as me and my Steel Framed Surly managed to prevail* over three-time Tour of California Champion Levi Leipheimer in the mountains west of Santa Rosa, Levaquin paypal. Levaquin canada, I began well back in the pack, considering myself of the intermediate sort and not wanting to incur any sports-related injury that would prevent me from shipping out the patches and stickers you all so love (Jonny would be unable to step in and help due to his being on vacation in some exotic locale**), Levaquin australia. Levaquin craiglist, However, upon hitting the road, 500mg Levaquin, Levaquin overseas, I found my legs were good, and I began to make my way through the pack, 150mg Levaquin. 1000mg Levaquin, I continued on the ride, not thinking too much of my pace until I returned, Levaquin mexico, Levaquin uk, having been passed by a good number of very fit looking (and some not so fit looking) riders, to discover that in fact, 10mg Levaquin, Levaquin ebay, Mister Leipheimer had not yet returned. In fact, he did not return for well over an hour or two after I made my triumphant sprint (more of a glass-eyed wobble) across the finish line, No RX Levaquin. Yes, 30mg Levaquin, Levaquin usa, I truly defeated* the famed racer on a Surly LHT in this hard man's own backyard.
I did not receive any podium awards since the event was not termed a "race, Levaquin japan, 100mg Levaquin, " per se, but Levi did throw an enormous Bike Monkey shirt directly at my (not enormous) domestic partner, Levaquin us, 40mg Levaquin, so perhaps that was a reward for a ride well ridden.
Seriously, Levaquin coupon, 20mg Levaquin, congratulations to everybody who put this thing on, especially Carlos Perez, 750mg Levaquin, Levaquin india, who is certainly a man of my own heart. The organization and support was superb, 200mg Levaquin, I would highly recommend the ride to anyone of almost any skill level (There was a 35 Mile Piccolo ride as well). No RX Levaquin, Somehow, 3500 cyclists of all sorts of abilities managed to stay safe for the most part and have a hell of a lot of fun hurting themselves. The festival afterward had cycling mainstays like Trek, and Look represented along with niche frame builders like Calfee and Bruce Gordon on hand to add flavor. Plus there was the ubiquitous (and ZPG Favorite) New Belgium brews and plenty of cool smaller vendors like Action Wipes and the perfectly adorable Luce Goods.
Events like these really are one of the reasons I'm insanely glad to live in California, and any time Gladys (my Surly) and I are allowed to clumsily ride with people who actually know how to operate their fancy bicycles properly is good by me.
* "Victory" was attained by riding the Medio Fondo: 65 miles, 3500' climbing versus Levi's Gran Fondo: 103 mi, 6500' climbing.

Tuesday, September 17, 2013
As reported by the Charleston County Sheriff's office earlier today, Charleston County detectives arrested and charged Dezerea S. Shelton (1090 Berkeley Street in Hanahan) with one count of Obstruction of Justice and Misconduct in Office at approximately 10 a.m. today, according to Shawn R. Smetana, Media Relations Coordinator.
Click here to view a PDF of the arrest report.
Charleston County Government requested a Sheriff's Office investigation after being informed of complaints that Shelton, while serving as a call taker with the Charleston County Consolidated 9-1-1 Center, improperly handled calls for service.
No personal injuries have been reported as a result of Shelton's actions, and no other 9-1-1 Center employees were found to have been involved or associated with the incidents.
A release from the media relations office said that Shelton began her employment as a Consolidated 9-1-1 Center Telecommunicator on September 9, 2011, after successful completion of the County's background review, which included a criminal records check, polygraph and drug test. Shelton was released from County employment on Sept. 5, 2013.
Charleston County Administrator Kurt Taylor and Charleston County 9-1-1 Center Director Jim Lake have been involved in the investigation since the initial complaint.
"Emergency call taking is one of the most critical operations of county government," Taylor said. "It is crucial that the public have confidence that when they call for help, it will be sent immediately. I will not tolerate any employee's failure to perform duties that could affect public safety. We have a great 9-1-1 team with outstanding leadership and training. It is unfortunate that this individual failed to do her job."
The County has already increased the level of internal reviews for 9-1-1 calls.
"Although all calls have been stored for potential review, we have added end-of-shift reports that would more immediately show blank incidents. Each shift supervisor is now reviewing these reports at the end of their shift on a daily basis," said Jim Lake, Charleston County 9-1-1 Center Director. "Also, we will be conducting our random audits more frequently."

You know you've got to exercise your brain just like your muscles.
Will Rogers
You know you've got to exercise your brain just like your muscles.
Will Rogers
When it comes to reshaping your body, nothing is quite as effective as lifting weights. Cardio is great for your heart, Pilates will help you get stronger, and yoga will balance you out; but nothing compares with a well-designed resistance program for getting lean.
This is in contrast to our weight lifting cultural icons. Arnold, Hulk Hogan, and the WWE are who and what we tend to associate with pumping iron. It may be more accurate, however, to associate those massive bodies with anabolic steroids and turn our attention to the real cultural icon for weight training: Jack LaLanne. The guy who practically invented "lifting" as we now know it is well into his 90s and can still ace the fitness standard designed for a 30-year-old. Once considered a bodybuilder, his legacy has far more to do with his fitness exploits than his brawn. His feats include things like swimming with his hands and feet shackled and towing 70 people in 70 boats across Long Beach Harbor on his 70th birthday. The key to Jack's success over all these years has been lifting weights.
In his intro to P90X's Chest, Shoulders & Triceps workout, Tony Horton tells us, "It's just good old-fashioned weight training that's gotten lost in a lot of fancy gidgits and gadgets and things that don't work." But weight lifting is making a comeback. In a couple of months,
Turbo Jam® creator Chalene Johnson will unveil her new program focusing on weight training as the path to a lean and healthy body. As scientists look for the latest way to halt a growing obesity epidemic, the research still leads them back to the same simple fact: resistance stimulates the muscles to work, which causes an effect throughout the body that keeps it strong, healthy, and lean. Let's take a brief look at why.
The science of how our bodies work is complex. However, the basics of body composition, and why we get obese and out of shape, are very simple. Due to the former, we can see how it's possible to believe that one magic nutrient, drug, or movement might transform us from fat to fit. But once we understand the latter, we see how this is highly unlikely, if not impossible.
A simple overview of body composition looks like this. At the base is a skeleton that is held together with connective tissues. This encases most of your organs and circulatory system. Muscles surround the structure and enable it to move. Body fat protects the organs and joints. It's all covered by your largest organ, your skin. We're leaving out some obvious functionality but this is basically what makes up your body composition, which determines your shape.
While there are different body types, all of them look good when all of the above are in the correct proportion. We look worse when our body fat percentages exceed their intended uses. Excess body fat inhibits the body's natural ability to function, and, hence, leads to myriad health problems. To correct this, we need to reduce the amount of body fat in our bodies. There are many ways to make this happen. Eating less, eating better, and exercising moves the process in the right direction. But the easiest way to do this is to add muscle. And the best way to add muscle is to exercise using resistance.
Most weight training is what we call anaerobic. This means, simply, that the intensity it takes to do it exceeds your body's aerobic (oxygen-carrying) capability. Anaerobic training relies on something called the Krebs cycle, which is a process in each cell that puts the body under stress. This stress forces your body to adapt and works nearly every human function we associate with fitness, including your body's aerobic system. So, oddly enough, a well-crafted anaerobic workout program is all the work you need to have a perfectly healthy aerobic system. This is because recovering from anaerobic work requires your aerobic system to work. If you can understand this concept, it will be easy to understand why weight training is so vital.
Many less intense programs, like aerobics and most "cardio" programs, focus on training in what some people call the "fat burning zone." This term is misleading because what it really means is utilizing fat for fuel—not burning body fat. Well—wait—it does actually mean that. The process is a little complicated, but I'll simplify it.
At low-level outputs, your body burns its stored fat as fuel. At higher outputs, it burns sugars that have been stored in your blood and liver, called blood glycogen. It's important to do both, but targeting fat mobilization as your primary fuel source in your workout makes little sense, unless you're training for endurance sports.
Your body has a limited store of glycogen—about enough for an hour or so of hard work. It attempts to save this for intense exercise (and brain function) and tries to do low-level tasks by burning body fat. Training at low intensity has a benefit, but it's only a fraction of what high intensity can accomplish in the same amount of time. And even though you are burning stored fat instead of glycogen, you aren't stimulating your muscles in the same way. This lack of stimulation means that you aren't creating the same level of hormone release, organ function, or muscle growth. The result is that you get far less fitness improvement in a given amount of time.
This is, at its most basic, the speed at which your body engine runs while resting. The more fit you are, the higher your metabolic rate is likely to be. Excess muscle on your body takes more energy just to keep it there. Body fat doesn't have the same requirements. In fact, it sort of does the opposite, by gumming up the works and inhibiting the metabolic process. Remember that muscle is there so that the body can move and do stuff. Fat is there to protect the body, especially the organs. It is similar to having a spare tire sitting inside of you. It adds weight and slows you down but does nothing helpful for your metabolism. This means that the most effective way to burn body fat is to add muscle to your frame because it burns fat around the clock. That is precisely what Chalene Johnson's new program will do—and you'll be hearing a lot more about "muscle burns fat" in the coming weeks.
Using the above body-composition basics, it's pretty easy to understand why losing weight should not be your ultimate goal. Instead, you should focus on losing body fat, which means that you'll get smaller at the same weight. By volume, muscle weighs far more than body fat. So much so that by adding muscle you can actually gain weight as you shrink. This isn't true for most people, but many "skinny fat" people find that all of their health indicators improve as they gain weight.
This is especially important to consider if you're highly de-conditioned, because not only do you have more fat on your body than you should, you probably have less muscle. As this ratio comes into balance, the scale may not be dropping, but your body can be making substantial changes. Furthermore, weight training can change your bone density. This does not increase the size of your bones but increases their weight and strength. For this fact alone, it's recommended that everyone add some resistance training into their lifestyle as they age.
The bad news is that there is no such thing as a lean muscle. The good news is that there is really no such thing as a bulky muscle. We use these terms to describe a body type, not a muscle. Lean muscle is also a term that means, well, muscle. All muscle is lean. Body fat is not lean. So the only non-lean muscle is one that has excess fat around it.
You can't really change a muscle's shape. It either grows, called hypertrophy, or shrinks, called atrophy. Weight training programs target muscle growth. All muscles are lean and shapely. To look lean and shapely, you want to build your muscles so that your metabolism increases and your body-fat percentage decreases.
"Bulky" (in quotes, because it's a matter of opinion) is a term used for muscles that are larger than normal. These are much harder to get than most of us, especially women, tend to believe. Bodybuilders certainly wish it were a lot easier. But adding excessive muscle takes an almost obsessive amount of work. Due to gravity, our bodies don't like to weigh too much and resist adding muscle. It's easier to add excess fat because not much can be done about overeating. Adding bulk is so difficult that steroids have become a huge societal problem.
It's also easy to control whether or not you become "bulky" through the number of repetitions (or time spent) doing resistance work. Sets that are longer than 12 or so repetitions (or about 30 seconds) self-limit the muscle's ability to grow. Therefore, those looking for a "lean" look should target higher reps once they've decided that their muscles are large enough.
Finally, nothing helps you age more gracefully than weight training. There are other ways to stay lean, but using resistance training creates hormonal releases that offset the aging process better than anything else. Furthermore, you lose muscle as you age—about 1 percent or so per year beyond the age of 30. Antiaging medicine is often prescribed in the form of injections of the very same hormones that are released when you do intense resistance workouts. Weight training is a cheaper, and arguably more effective, alternative to spending a lot of money on doctors. Just ask Jack LaLanne.

So a duck walks into a bar . . . Did you know that there is actually a scientific name for the study of laughter? It's gelotology. Laughter is such an important part of our everyday lives that it can actually make us healthier. Smiling and laughing release all kinds of good chemicals and hormones in our bodies—the physiological and psychological effects are well-documented. And let's face it, laughing at a good joke or situation, funny or not, just plain old makes us feel better. But how does laughter work? And how can we use it to make our lives healthier and happier?
We actually get exercise when we laugh or smile. Yes, it takes fewer muscles to laugh or smile than it does to frown, but it's much more fun. So for once, I'm telling you to exercise less, smile or laugh more, and you'll be healthier. Laughter is such an important part of my life that I make an effort to surround myself with friends who make me laugh.
Research shows that laughter actually protects the heart. Researchers don't know exactly why, but studies show that when we're stressed, the endothelium—the protective layer in our blood vessels—decreases, thus allowing cholesterol to build up in our arteries. Heartfelt laughter can lower the serum cortisol released during a stress response and can, therefore, lower the risk of hardening of the arteries. It has also been linked to lower blood sugar levels in people with diabetes; it increases antibodies and killer cells in our bloodstreams, thus helping us fight off disease; and it increases blood flow. And get this: Laughing 100 times equals the same aerobic output as 10 minutes on a rowing machine or treadmill.
So how do we use laughter in our daily lives? How do we turn the tide of negativity and stress that so often makes up the bulk of our days? We simply make a choice. Decide in your head that you are going to seek out the positive, the humor in any given situation. Granted, not all situations warrant laughter or smiling. I don't want anyone to get punched. But the next time you see another person, anywhere, smile at him or her. Not only will you feel better, they will too; and it's fun to watch people's reactions. Flood your mind with thoughts that make you smile, a good joke, a friend you haven't seen in a while, a great trip you once took, a goal you reached or are going to conquer—anything positive that will bring a smile to your face or make you laugh. That's half the battle; the body naturally takes over from there. When confronted with a stressful situation, smiling actually reverses the chemical response in your body. And chances are that if you smile, the situation will be diffused before you can even think about stressing out.
In every aspect of your daily life and interaction with others, a smile goes a long way in getting people to do things you may need or want. The next time you get ready to work out with 10-Minute Trainer® or P90X®, put a smile on your face and think how great it will be, not what a burden. We do make a conscious choice over what emotions we choose to allow to flood our bodies. Laughter and smiling are natural physical responses to those emotions. And now that you know it, laughter and smiling can actually make you feel better and live a longer, healthier life. Well, there's no other choice. Laughter really is the best medicine.
