Matthew and Kailyn by K-KojiWatch
©2012-2016 K-Koji
it is nice. Is it from movie?
love the coat!!
Wow , great job!
Green eyes
It's actually one of Matthew's main character elements - it's usually the first thing people notice when they see him.
Wow, I really love your art! Your really talented
They are so lovely!
wow this is really good! ^^
Very cool
Lol Thats my name! but /i have brown hair and green eyes lol awesome! This is very pretty
(─‿‿─) WOOOOW so vivid. it's beautiful
Very nice mix of colors and brightness. Your images really pop out and makes them look like they were lifted from television. I really like how soft and subtle the colors, tones, lines, edges, and overall appearance is...no hard or harsh lines or lighting. Excellent job throughout...many of your art looks really unique and stellar.
Beautiful. I love the glowing from the signs.
Amazing work!
Awsome!Do you use Paint Tool Sai or just Photoshop?I really want to learn how to draw like you!
So, I'm just casually checking my watch messages and I see that you did this. First off, I'd like to say that you did an excellent job, my only complaint being that Matthew is fully clothed
Second, OMGYOUDREWAGIRLIDIDN'TKNOWYOUCOULDDOTHAT!?!?!!!!!! There, I think that covers it. You made a.... girl. You even gave her curves in the right places!!!!
Second, OMGYOUDREWAGIRLIDIDN'TKNOWYOUCOULDDOTHAT!?!?!!!!!! There, I think that covers it. You made a.... girl. You even gave her curves in the right places!!!!

I think even I forgot about that...
Awww don't forget you can draw females. That's like the only thing I CAN draw!! Actually, no, just keep drawing men. I enjoy the shows of all the lovely men that I'd just love to have over for... coffee. Yes, coffee. That's all
Love his jacket and their hair.

Gorgeous eyes on both of them, and I love the lines of their clothing, and the lighting. The background is incredibly detailed, absolutely fantastic I know they're not your characters, but it's also nice to see a woman with curves...

I booked this hotel room via agoda.com, so we got a good bargain for it. It's very near Malioboro St where you can get lotsa local Batik and souvenirs (abt 5 minutes). 1 hour to Borobudur, 45 minutes to Prambanan. A ride by trishaw from the hotel to Malioboro St should cost you around 10,000 -15, 000 INR. Santika is... More

What does a "full range of views" look like to the New York Times? Powerful people who worked for Republicans and Democrats.
To NYT, 'Full Range of Views' on War Is Pretty Narrow
Is There Really a 'Scandal Trifecta'?
Benghazi, the Justice Department seizing AP phone records, and the IRS targeting Tea Party groups: Much of the Beltway press corps–which has pushed the Benghazi story for months–is seeing the Obama presidency in a state of near free-fall. But what's actually happening?
How to Read Stories About Israel in the NY Times (Hint: Very Carefully)
Some days the Newspaper of Record says a lot–not always in ways you might expect. Today (3/21/13) a story by Mark Landler and Rick Gladstone about allegations of chemical weapons in Syria includes something you see often–anonymous government sources. That can often be a bad thing; but today it's pretty useful: Two senior Israeli officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak, said that Israel was sure that chemicals were used, but did not have details about what type of weapons were used, where they came from, when they were deployed, or by whom. […]
Is John Boehner a Labor Economist?
Loose Lips Sink Drones
Barack Obama did something yesterday that government leaders tend not to do: He talked about the CIA drone war in Pakistan. This admission–which, it should be pointed out, happened in a Google-sponsored Q & A with the public, not a session with reporters–made it into the papers. The New York Times (1/31/12) flagged civilian deaths as the most newsworthy aspect, headlining a report by Mark Landler "Civilian Deaths Due to Drones Are Not Many, Obama Says." Landler writes: Mr. Obama, in an unusually candid public discussion of the Central Intelligence Agency's covert program, said the drone strikes had not inflicted […]
It's GOOD That Romney Has No Principles
We've been seeing a lot of this sort of thing lately–this time from Elizabeth Wurtzel on TheAtlantic.com (1/9/12): All the reasons Romney is disliked are all the reasons he would be an excellent president. Let's start by recognizing that principled politicians are highly overrated–consider Jimmy Carter as Exhibit A. Despite our pretensions to pretension, we are not a country that loves ideology–we're not, heaven forbid, France–so much as we are a can-do people that, after all, last elected a yes-we-can president. We like what works, not what it says in The Communist Manifesto, which reads like a guidebook for a […]
The Times' 'Truism' on Mideast Peace
The first sentence of Mark Landler's piece in the New York Times today (7/21/11): It is a truism of Middle East peacemaking that the United States is the pivotal player–the most credible broker between the Israelis and the Palestinians. If by "truism" he means "something most people don't believe to be true," then this makes sense. If he means "truism" in the other, more conventional way, then it is difficult to understand the article in question–which is about Palestinian efforts to pursue alternatives to U.S.-backed negotiations.
On Journalism's 'Long Line' of 'Everyday Extremists'
Reading Mark Landler's and Elizabeth Bumiller's New York Times "tidbit out of an overheated Washington last week: 'President Obama and his top advisers have been meeting almost daily to discuss options for helping the Pakistani government and military repel the [Taliban] offensive,'" Tom Engelhardt (TomDispatch, 5/7/09) decides to toss some cold water on "this kind of atmosphere that naturally produces the bureaucratic equivalent of mass hysteria": Reports indicate that Obama's national security team has been convening regular "crisis" meetings and having "nearly nonstop discussions" at the White House, not to mention issuing alarming and alarmist statements of all sorts about […]
Palestinians as Alien Creatures
Sometimes when you read reports about the Middle East, you get the impression that corporate journalists think Palestinians are another species entirely. Here's the New York Times' Mark Landler (3/4/09) explaining the theory of how better relations with Syria could help create a peace deal between Israel and Palestine: By seeking an understanding with Syria, which has cultivated close ties to Iran, the United States could increase the pressure on Iran to respond to its offer of direct talks. Such an understanding would also give Arab states and moderate Palestinians the political cover to negotiate with Israel. That, in turn, […]

I've Got a Theory Lyrics
I've Got a Theory Song Lyrics
Giles: I've got a theory that it's a demon! A dancing demon? No something isn't right there.
Willow: I've got a theory some kid is dreaming, and we're all stuck inside his wacky broad way nightmare.
Xander: I've got a theory we should work this out.
Anya, Tara & Willow: It's getting eerie what's this cheery singing all about?
Xander: It could be witches, some evil witches! Which is ridiculous 'cause witches they were persecuted. Wicca good and love
the earth and women power and I'll be over here.
Anya: I've got a theory, it could be bunnies!
Tara: I've got a theory-
Anya: Bunnies aren't just cute like everyone supposes. They got them hoppy legs and twitchy little noses, and what's with
all the carrots!? What do they need such good eyesight for anyway!? Bunnies, bunnies, it must be bunnies!! Or maybe midgets…
Willow: I've got a theory we should work this fast
Willow & Giles: Because it clearly could get serious before it's passed.
Buffy: I've got a theory, it doesn't matter. What can't we face if we're together? What's in this place that we can't
weather. Apocalypse? We've all been there. The same old trips, why should we care?
Buffy, Giles, Anya, Willow, Tara & Xander: What can't we do if we get in it. We'll work it through within a minute. We have
to try, we\'ll pay the price. It's do or die.
Buffy: Hey I've died twice.
Buffy, Giles, Anya, Willow, Tara & Xander: What can't we face if we're together.
Giles: What can't we face?
Buffy, Giles, Anya, Willow, Tara & Xander: What's in this place that we can't weather?
Giles: If we're together
Buffy, Giles, Anya, Willow, Tara & Xander: There's nothing we can't face
Anya: Except for bunnies.

I just sent a resume for a job I would hate. I applied because its hours were 10am-8:30pm. That way, I could drive DD to school and be there in the playground until the bell rings. She would only have to be in the care of strangers for the end of the day.
Please tell me how else I can make it work? If school starts at 8:45, I can't possibly get to any job that starts at 9. I suppose I could ask a neighbor lady to get her to school each morning, but she's already away from me all afternoon at after school program.
(I've been working night-shift all these years, so I could be home with her more during the day. But the sleep issues are starting to get to me and I've started crying all the time. I'm hoping I might see the world differently after I straighten out my sleep schedule, but right now I can't figure out how I can possibly find a job that works for somebody with a child)

With a slightly tweaked auto commit engine, interesting to see
This is exactly what it means to be the tester.
If at first you don't succeed, try, try and try again. In this case, the world is testing
In this world where fantasy becomes reality, didn't the latest Avengers movie tell these fools what they're letting themselves in for?
I for one welcome Ultron as our new... *comet hits*
In HK, the latest gen laptops are starting to appear and Intel are simply walking free unmatched at the moment. Check out the Asus Zenbook UX305, a great price too, I do hope it pulls together for AMD though.
So, in order to get this backdoor on they must have to already have root access...really???
Got bigger problems if that is what happens
That a public facing service is is exploitable is nothing new, this article should have really tried to make people aware that you get what you pay for in most cases and paying £1 to deploy and host a WordPress site is not going to get you professional services even though as many have said, "old" versions of PHP will have patches back ported.
i think in this, the most important is that generally speaking, The easier something is to use, the more complex it is under the surface and complexity brings issues. Things like wordpress have their place in the same way that motorbikes/cars/electric vehicles have theirs and the advantages/caveats that come with them.
Happy new year and keep up the good work! The Web is better by a long way than it was a few years ago and there will always be new problems
This comment alone has given me the final push I need to give docker a proper try. Why don't more people say this compared to the "one day, it will even do your laundry" style reviews.
Reading through that has given me a headache...it's too true.
my weeks sysadmin nightmare working remotely
I just spent half a week having an email back and forth with someone who insisted a system didn't work regardless of it working (and being shown to work through screen recorders and tutorials) with every variant and setup under the sun.
After finally convincing them to let me setup a remote desktop connection to their computer to see first hand, we did the run through and, surprise surprise, it worked perfectly. They just read a single (something they had written) word wrong and thought they were in the wrong place. If they had even filled in the "problem report" form provided they would have seen their own stupidity.
Love that we're back to weeklies, have a beer on me!
I thought the whole point of services such as AWS was to avoid putting all your eggs in one basket. Then again, the cloud is just "someone else's computer" with more than one pipe to it
I'm one of the many who revisited WoW for WoD after a 5 year gap and the experience has left me very bitter and vowing to never buy blizzard again, even if they reinvented jesus. I live in Hong Kong so played on oceanic servers and at launch, people would put their computer in a 10 hour queue only to discover the server was going down for maintenance.
The game has been very buggy and need to daily reboots still, paying customers are actually beta testers. Whatever happened to QA? The cherry on the cake for me was that whenever I would try to go in to a dungeon or battleground would get 12 seconds lag. After contacting a Game Master, I was given the "you must be holding it wrong" response and unable to get a refund within 10 days because I played it.
Blizzard don't give a shit. When stating these facts in a balanced manner on the forums, people went nuts defending blizzard, it really is like they are junkies and blizzard can put out whatever they like so long as they get their fix.
Remember, Blizzard is just a company, not a religion
Nail, meet head.
Do your eyes also come with x-ray vision?
The problem is simply crud that manufacturers add on to bring you the "best" experience. Not everyone will be willing to go this length but Iswill
- Remove unnecessary apps which won't impact MY experience, not just factory ones but ones I've installed
- Install boot manager and stop services I do not immediately need starting up automatically
- use greenify to stop services I do use from running without need after a given time
- avoid apps that push notifications for the sake of it like the plague
- most importantly, use my phone when I need/want to, not feeling the need to check every ten seconds
This gets me 5 days of reasonable use. It's a Samsung note 2014 10.1
A simple no nonsense response that cuts through the BS, I salute you.
No excuses, nothing beats genuine "life" education, schools can't teach that without someone complaining.
To the downvoters, when I talk about having no single point of failure within software, I mean having a resilient environment.
Specifically addressing the bug in question, with proper input validation/sanitation data that could cause this bug would never get in to the system to begin with. How often do people store integers larger than 9223372036854775807 (for use in a PHP environment), especially from a serialized source?
On a typical website, if receiving "extreme" data (valid data but unexpected) I'd write details to a log and/or ask the user if they are sure they mean to use such a large value.
Either way, kudos to the PHP team for addressing the issue so quickly
If you rely on a single piece of software, the same piece of software that "delivers" to secure your entire stack, you're doing it wrong regardless of whether you call it PHP, IIS, Java, Ruby, Node, etc.
It sticks :p
Entering the consumer level market...Excellent!
I concur, the very first thing on my mind was to check the story publish date thinking there was an error which threw up an old story...
David Attenborough In 1000 years on a cave painting
The missing link between ass and humans found. This creature represents the breakthrough of species for the first time caring more about social life than survival. It is due to the sheer number of clicks (from the newly refined fingers) on trees, stones, even frogs that word spread our mouths can be used for eating, not just talking about the latest cave drama.
Cave pictures depict this creature slumped over a tablet like slab with a crooked spine using its finger to draw a a tree with two coconuts on it. We believe this was how the ass-a-man passed on knowledge to future generations about what foods were safe and dangerous.
This other picture shows a lady begging the man not to mix his coconuts with her starfish, as we now know, mixing the two produces deadly toxins. A marvellous species representing a new transformation of life...as we know it.
You know it's bad when even the Chinese Government admit there is a problem...It's also a bit hard to hide the problem, wait...it's easy to hide.
This is quite literally dissolving the old values of China and replacing them with the new, shiny, "what do i do with this suitcase full of money?!?!?" set. Having lived in China/Hong Kong for a few years I can only say the problem is...Louis vuitton. Without LV people wouldn't need to fire up the helicopter in order to go grab that must have bag.
In all sincerity though (and not taking in to account the ratio of money effectively spent), the Chinese government are starting to make some big changes to the way things are run in the name of environmental preservation in the places it counts most, education and infrastructure. You won't see so much solar power almost anywhere else...not that that matters with all the damn smog!!!
as a user of a rom called pacman on my galaxy tab 7.7, there are many good reasons to use custom ROMs that overcome the quirks. many reading this might think it's stating the obvious but some REALLY don't have a clue what can be done.
My device is supported for longer - Officially support stopped at 4.0.4 but, i use 4.2.1
Efficiency - Longer battery life and better responsiveness, nuff said
Competition - Some may be scratching their heads at this. the truth is, variety is the spice of life and shaking things up (small as it may be) stops everything you do becoming Apple level boring.
Custmisation - Works both ways in terms of liking but, i like being able to tweak the interface to my hearts content. Look up Paranoid Android!
Enhanced features - People pull functionality apart till it screams usefulness you may actually want. My partner has a note 2 and we both thought multi window control was a nnice gimmick but, not too useful in its' workings. i use something called halo which takes this concept bundled with notifications and decent shortcut handling toa new level.
Only three words came to mind to begin with:
Sod off america...
Couldn't he claim similar circumstances to what the tax dodgers here do. "I may talk and arrange business with people in the US but, when it comes to sales, all transactions are performed in another country, another dimension, namely the internet...from a dodgy web host on the darkweb at that"
A bitter response from me I know and sorry for it. I just don't see a single thing from the american government which warrants any decision they make as legit these days.
I used to have a desire and loved it to bits, in terms of battery, performance and beauty it left the market at the time for dust, a real shame about their software but cyanogen are always there to save the day. Then, it got stolen at the gym.
Fast forward almost three years and HTC are almost completely off the map, they haven't released a "distinguished" phone in all that time, they turned in to another company that just churns out android handsetswith no flavour.
When the market is as intensely competitive as phones are, people at the premium end want something that is exactly that. The one is an excellent phone but, too little too late, if they'd have released that at a time when shiny was all it took to win, there'd be no problems. We now have phones with stylus', phones that swim, phones with super hi-res screens (I know the One uses technology from Sharp) and crazy cameras so where does that really position HTC?
I think my Samsung is great and so do a lot of techies based on the amount of activity at xda. They are still innovating too! See the advert for flexi screens. The only thing that will change that for me is an underdog who can bring some new tricks to the table.
So long HTC, thanks for all the fish
Whether or not a believer in AGW, does it hurt to stop living like a pillock. In retrospect, when I say this I mean things like:
- Walking to the corner shop 5 minutes away instead of driving
- Turning off the lights when you (or noone else) are in a room
- Wear warmer clothes when the weather gets colder as instead of turning the heating up
- Wear less (and sleep under less) if the weather is too hot instead of turning the AC up.
- Buy food you will eat rather than throw away due to waste/rot...
- Drink beer really cold, it is much more refreshing than "lukewarm"
Little things like those stated above make more a difference in the long run make more of a difference compared to bickering over the climate like little girls in the playground.
I remember well the experience I had when i had just left university that could sit on parallel lines but in England for this.
I serviced hardware/software chip and pin machines and would always try to find ways to make it both more pleasant and efficient. Here is a list of some of those and the effect
- The software we used was hosted on an intranet and only updated every other week. I would download the relevant tools if changed and put them on my desktop for one click use. This saved my having to go through the company intranet pages which were 2 deep and slow so. Much faster and convenient, I could lay them out in order as needed. Management response (some young man who clearly enjoyed his position too much) made me stop doing this as it meant my toolchain would always be outdated....
- The units that came in would just be thrown in to a box with the only thing differentiating them a label; each station would take a different type of "fix" at different times to keep it a little different. One morning, whilst getting my devices, any devices that didn't meet my current task, would put them in a separate making someone elses life easier, it certainly didn't make mine any different. The manager came over and was furious, accusing me of wasting my time tidying up the devices; at this point I still only had half of the devices I needed.
Not meaning to blow my own horn, I was the most productive worker in that workshop by at least three times, most of the others were very lazy polish who couldn't speak much English. I was late the next day after the above instance (5AM start!) and I was welcomed by the manager smiling telling me to go home. It was his victory...
I believe the problem is rather simple. It isn't just that China is (for now cheaper) it's that Britain has lost a lot of the fire to its flame.
I have respect on one hand and realism on the other with regard to Stephen Fry. Some of the stuff he does is both informative and amusing. However, I'm glad to see the Reg trolling in the cases given as it is all due.
What I want to know is his screen name on this site! Without doubt, he is the kind of person who subscribes to the Reg. My guess....Stephen Fry....is....Amanfrommars!
Place your bets
I have been living in China for the past two and a half years. As a Linux advocat, this is the best news I think I have ever read. I would like to very briefly paint a picture of IT within China.
1) The vast majority of people use a pirated copy of Windows XP, there seems to be one image that everyone and their dog has. People will even install Windows XP from this disc on their Apple computers because they only know XP. Because they can't download updates, people install a program called 360. 360 does everything (particularly make a device slow and unresponsive) from giving you a replacement start menu to delivering windows updates, to telling you the weather and modifying the vast array of system files. This thing spies like someone stood 10cm in front of you with a pair of binoculars.
2) The level of computing proficiency is very poor to the point people who work in computer shops don't understand and will hop on to baidu (web-search) for almost everything unless they have tried it before. When it comes to performing a task, this can result in amusement for the observer but a big vein popping out the forehead for users.
3) China is filling up with consumers who demand fashion, particularly following the "latest and greatest", Windows XP is something i remember using way back in school and considered very uncool. The chances are this generation will soon be upgrading to the latest pirated version of Windows 7/8.
With the current scene set, we have the following opportunities
- When it does come time to put an IT curriculum together, it will be based on Linux
- When people can control their device, even if the repositories are limited, they will experiment more, many people using open source software; testing it, possibly contributing to it and definitely not pirating it.
- Don't you think it would be pleasent to have less vulnerable devices on the internet to be abused?
- Until China is well versed with the Linux ecosystem, there will be plenty of opportunity for service oriented commerce from other countries.
- Hang Mark Shuttleworth by his scraggly balls to pass that suitcase (more like warehouse) full of cash he will be getting in the general direction of Linux
In sincerity, I feel this move (even if only talked about) puts China in front of our own governments with regard to technology. Anyone who feels this is a step in the wrong direction is just bitter.
I just moved from the mainland to Hong Kong, Damnit!
This quite simply means a variety of debian to use on your phone; no need to have Unity in desktop mode is there? For me this is a great win for the community at large with no cost but, I guess there will always be haters. You really need to stop hating things which are provided for free!
As an Arch Linux user, I favour no distro more than the next, just what is good for my needs. I'll be having a go at hacking this on to my tab 7.7, the phone UI looks quite interesting.
So, good job Canonical, I appreciate the work you do for the community. Sticks and stones may break your bones, may trolling morons mourn on themselves.
I believe we should blame Moore's Law, when the computing power available to us double's, it used to make a vast difference. I,e The upgrade from a 486 rated at 66MHz to a 586 at 133MHz was huge in terms of what we could actually do with the device. Many here have already stated their 6 year old computers work just fine, I support this view.
I run Arch Linux on a ULV Lenovo Thinkpad and it is blindingly quick; two VMs and all development environments open. It is pretty much impossible to notice the difference on my older (but much faster workstation) unless compiling programs. Why upgrade?
There has been a lot of controversy relating to the death of PC/Laptops in favour of tablets recently and I am a strong believer in the survival of the former. With that said though, my next purchase will probably be the upcoming Nexus tablet though. Why? Very simple.
When a tablet (hackable with support for *nix) comes with a resolution twice that of my laptop and twice the battery; it's a no brainer, 2560x1600 for pity sake! People say it all the time here; FOAD 1366x768. I can honestly respect all that device manafacturers do however, if they start complaining about sales they should pull their head out their ass and address this very simple issue. I would certainly change my next purchase option from a tablet back to a laptop if it allowed me to work remotely and comfortably as ranted about in this paragraph.
For the record of opinion on the matter, I already own a Galaxy Tab 7.7 and do use it to emulate *Nix whilst still remaining an android phone/tablet so, I do understand the difference between using a laptop for Linux and a tablet for Linux well.. I'd just love something that can be booted natively like the Mer/KDE combination.
I just bought one of the new Thinkpads and have to say, they are rather fine pieces of kit; my only grudge is the 1366x768 screen resolution *sigh* just like every other half serious computer user on Earth.
With great build quality, it also came with a small 16GB SSD stick to act as a cache alongside the 500G HD. With a little format here and a little Linux there, it screams performance at a low power cost.
All in all a thing of beauty if you like simple black, my partner thinks the thing is ugly though. So, this move might address her only concern; looks.
Jaa yo Lenovo!
As a web developer, I think this is quite good news. Not everything adobe do is bad, just as not everything apple do is bad.
I recently used a canvas library called easel which brings an equivalent of actionscript straight in to the browser and was most impressed. It turns our, some adobe emplyees are responsible for it. I'm not so much concerned about the overall package but, you have to admit, there are quite a few areas of HTML that need to be buffed up.
I beg adobe not to reinvent the wheel though, use what's already here, maybe basing an SDK kit on jquery in a jquery like manner
amanfromMars 1 - I've been following you, I have the chloroform ready and everything but, feel at a loss. As far as AI goes these days; may I give you plus one for your ability to interpret the English language. Consider yourself levelled up in that big electronic brain of yours, your natural English is putting the pin in pun these days.
Step unto the fray and live the day,
These words are a way I play.
With your text mex words mixed,
try to flex some different lexical step.
Too many adverts, two words worlds.
Icons says it all...Lets hope the control panel doesn't look like that...once a month as described *shivers*
I wholeheartedly agree, how can you really make the front of a tablet stand out in the modern age...and be accepted? There's a good infographic about the design of mobile phones 10 years ago and now which highlights this trend.
In part, it is due to what society likes more than what the manafacturers can produce; the keywords for design these days seem to be: clean, elegant, black...That kind of rounds down the options to a sad few for any designers of a device that is already little more than just a screen.
It may be a developing country, but it sure has a lot going for it at the moment. There are both exceedingly rich and exceptionally poor people here; everyone, other than gold diggers try to work. The only shortfall is quality, business here tends to reach a certain level of success and then the people who run it don't seem to care as it has made them money.
This in turn (with a strange logic) loses a lot of customers, loyal customers still pay/go though...Until, the business pushes up the price to deal with a loss of customers which loses the loyal customers at which point the business closes. Very few businesses do any marketing at all after they open. The place I work has paid attention to this "fashion" and my words, it rises like the year this dragon itself is.
In short, China REALLY doesn't need any Western influence. Please, don't take this the wrong way, people in China laugh at the majority of Americans as both shameless and quite pathetic on their worldly outlook. Happily, I am English though and we as a race are seen as quite proper and gentle when times are warm; purposeful and firm when times are tough.
After being here for so long, after a lot of reflection, England (that's us) really needs to turn away from Americans quite a lot and rediscover that which once made us a great nation...It's called pride and hard work.
I must admit, I was very sceptical to click the buy button; history has taught me to stay away from Seagate as a company. But my netbook needed a boost; do I regret it? Not at all! These drives are awesome, I am a Linux user and definitely feel all that rests below this paragraph is happy living in SSD performance land:
- Operating system
- Development programs
- Browser/media player (music on external drive)
- Web server
Take the plunge today, I live in China at the moment and got the 500GB model for the equivalent of £47. Some people on the web express concerns over power usage; it is true that it takes up an extra ~0.6W compared to the 5400RPM drive I had in before. In all sincerity, it doesn't make much of a difference. People can't believe how snappy my box is, does this comment sound like a plug; I don't care.
MUIU is a nice custom android rom moving forward in a good direction, this phone doesn't differentiate from anything else other than that.
In China though, I am an English man in China right now, they do a rather good job of taking something that works and throwing the kitchen sink in alongside it though. One day, they will learn to innovate for themselves though; it's in their culture here to accept pure and simple copying.
The five year plan of China is to become the tech centre of the world, here's just one of those starts i guess.
I appreciate the effort that companies like Asus put in to tablets, but a big part of me thinks it is all worthless at this point. Give Android some more time to mature (manafacturers pay attention to custom roms, they are much better than yours) in terms of both system and apps and you have another customer here.
However, my phone is just as good as any tablet today and my laptop is much better. I'll be going for a second generation ultrabook instead of this overpriced toy.
As a westerner living in China, i can believe most of this story. China has a plan that says, within the next 5 years it will be the top tech manufacturer in the world; they have already made a lot of headway it must be said.
Towns can pop up in about 3 months, from small hamlet to having 8 big factories. The government is pouring money in the right places and...in to officials pockets. Banks and lawyers are not Gods here like they are in England so things actually get done.
I would highly recommend the British government start saying FU to financial services and start putting money in to research of tech again if we stand even half a chance...The one thing China doesn't have (just yet) is the level of universities we have in the west. Again though, start saying FU to so many marketing courses though.
My two cents
This is more a call to Regheads, I think most of us here know how to use a computer.
- If you don't want to be locked in to a book store
- If you don't want to have to send a book through something like Calibre
- If you want your e-book reader to be more
- Buy a Barnes and Noble Simple Touch
- Root it
- You pretty much get android 2.1 stock
- You can simply drag books across as USB memory stick
- You can have calendar
- You can have mail
- Take your pick of ebook reading software and read every kind of media...I recommend ezPDF reader. It's got dictionary and annotations amongst other handy features
- You can even have a wi-fi probe...using an ebook reader
- It's only limited by the screen speed, which is quite good
Join the revolution!!! :D
<-- Happy B&N Simple owner
As an Englishman in China, I was wondering why my marketplace stopped working. Some things here are great, some things are just plain puzzling.
I've been in China a while now. What makes this country so "productive" compared to England and other western countries boils down to quite a simple opinion I hold.
Here, people are not frightened to go out on a limb and start a business, naturally, many will fail but by sheer weight of numbers a lot grow to be very successful. People here (the ones who work) generally don't slack, they push and push and push. There are few obstacles in place other than dealing with peoples "attitudes".
Sometimes my mind boggles and when going back to the UK for Chinese new year, pace of life is sure going to be a brand new culture shock!
Rolling with your analogy of newspaper adverts, I have a simple question.
Would newspaper adverts be your entire business? I believe not and, in the case of yes, say hello to Darwinism. For a business, big or small, it should never really be more than "an advert in the newspaper" but quite simple (and correctly stated already) puts people on the right track to your website.
For me the biggest reason not to solely rely on FB would be the absolute and complete lack of branding other than a logo.
I know "users = value" in the modern world but, honestly how do such ridiculous sums as this get worked out? Facebook must be providing advertisers with some seriously personal information for each user to be worth about $105; congratulations to the founders are in order I guess.
I wonder what would happen if a black-hat cracking group got in and typed the simple line
rm -rf /
Iraq cost America 3 trillion dollars and a lot of people died. Would whole towns start exploding in this case...? I sincerely doubt it
Because, what's better than a good ass and badger together!
I (would dare say) I'm a competant computer user. 9 months ago, I moved to China in order to become a teacher which was quite a career change from being a web developer (not designer).
Before leaving the country, I set up a box that could be remotely woken from China for the purpose of VPN. In all sincerity, I've used it twice, there is really nothing to complain about with the Great Firewall of China.
As many have said (and I hope more will say) all it really does is block extremist views and sites which are utter b******s such as facebook. If you want to keep in contact with people, do just that! I can still access 95% of the sites I would expect to with the rare exception being things like blogspot for some web news. However, this is news mirrored by the dozen on many other sites so, it simply saves me re-reading things.
I would just like to say, thank you China!
From a British National living in Fujian province
The link to that...power cord has me...lost for words.
"The most advanced mains cable we have developed, in our opinion capable of making a profound improvement to the performance of your system."
profound improvement being higher blood pressure after seeing the receipt?
If a web developer is using even some half assed validation on a site, this bug should never come to light in the first place so I can understand why it has taken so long. Even an extreme situation, I can't ever imagine a user sending the web-server a 234-point decimal number and being justified...
Any "web" application that does need such extreme numbers would most likely be built on something other than PHP anyway, and I don't mean ASP either. Test ALL input, simples. The web was a dangerous place before this bug came to light.
But, hey...At least PHP is an open technology to discover such flaws and it can be remedied ASAP. Does this affect any other platforms I wonder?

I often want to automate this sort of task in a shell script:
if the line:
exists in a file, then change it to
otherwise, append the line
SOMEKEY=SOMEOTHERVALUE in the file.
How could I go about this? I think I could do it using a combination of
grep and
sed, but I'm sure it's a common enough task that someone has already worked out an elegant solution.
By the way, when replacing I would normally do something like this
sed -i 's/old/new/g' fname
But it means I have to be very careful when composing my regular expressions, so as not to make a mistake. Is there an easy way to "preview" what changes which would occur from my call to
sed without actually stomping on the file?

Friday Photos: Caribbean Beaches and Alluring Resorts
We admit it. Last week's Caribbean-themed travel section from The New York Times got us all worked up about the gorgeous island resorts nestled in the sand lapped by gentle, turquoise waters. And we'd bet top dollar that after reading "6 Caribbean Beaches to See Before You Die," you'll be equally as inspired. Pictured above: The view from a window at Seven Stars Resort, located in the sweeping arc of Grace Bay in the Turks and Caicos, a beach celebrated in the NYT article.
Pictured above: The view from another insanely gorgeous Caribbean property. This time, on the lush isle of St Lucia, famous for its trademark green peaks - the Gros and Petit Pitons. Making the cut of the 6 best beaches, Anse Chastanet is hailed by the NYT for the sand's "sparkling ash gray composition" and the resort's "oversize thatch umbrellas provide shade where the palm trees that bow down toward the water don't." We know, we want to book a Caribbean vacay for Christmas, too.

Updates for Nutrition Education
DC Central Kitchen earns national school lunch award
On Tuesday, DC Central Kitchen was presented with a Golden Carrot Award and a $2,015 grant from the Physicians Committee. The Golden Carrot Awards, established in 2004, recognizes food service teams in both public and private school districts doing exceptional work to improve the healthfulness of school lunches.
During the spring 2015 semester, DCCK participated in a plant-based pilot program at Walker Jones Education Campus – one of 10 schools served by DC Central Kitchen – where students were introduced to six different plant-based vegan entrées. The most popular meals—chili, pasta with chickpeas, barbecue tofu bites, and veggie burgers—will make their way into the regular lineup as daily vegetarian options at Walker Jones and in the nine other district schools where DC Central Kitchen is the food service provider.
"Providing students with exposure to new foods is always a fun challenge. We see students we first started working with as kindergartners now graduate as eighth graders with a new palate and appreciation for fresh, healthful foods."
Receiving the Golden Carrot Award reinforces DC Central Kitchen's unique approach to school food. Each of the more than 6,300 daily meals prepared for DC schoolchildren are made from scratch and contain at least two local ingredients. Our popular vegetable democracy taste tests, "Fresh Feature Fridays," allow students vote on vegetables prepared their favorite way and see it on their lunch menu the following month.
At DC Central Kitchen, we are proving that healthy, scratch-cooked meals can be enjoyable for children, affordable for school districts, and valuable for teachers who need children to be nourished and focused.
To learn more about the Golden Carrot Awards visit HealthySchoolLunches.org.
DC Central Kitchen and Playworks team up to provide healthy snacks for DC youth
Earlier this month, DC Central Kitchen visited a group of 60 local elementary students to share healthy eating tips and kid-friendly recipes.
Our nutrition outreach team joined the 4th and 5th graders during their "Junior Coach" training at the Washington Nationals Youth Baseball Academy with Playworks DC, a national organization that brings positive play and physical activity to schools. The students attend six DC public schools in low-income areas across DC's Wards 7 and 8.
DC Central Kitchen's nutrition lesson included guidance on healthy snacking and demos for two easy-to-prepare recipes: banana butterflies and edible ladybugs.
To make it approachable for the students, our team used simple recipes with 3 or fewer ingredients —each snack took only about 5 minutes to prepare! Students also went home with recipe cards to create the snacks again at home.
DC Central Kitchen and Playworks are already planning for further ways to partner and provide nutrition education and physical activity promotion for DC's youth. To learn more about DC Central Kitchen's community nutrition outreach, visit http://www.dccentralkitchen.org/healthyfutures/.
Six Ways DC Central Kitchen is Leading the Way on Food Policy
A recent Washington Post opinion piece calling for a national food policy put foodies, health advocates, policy wonks, and political partisans on notice. In "How a national food policy could save millions of American lives" authors Mark Bittman, Michael Pollan, Ricardo Salvador, and Olivier De Schutter took the United States to task for failing to set an overarching vision for the most fundamental determinant of our daily health:—"how we produce and consume food." They urged the US to embrace a more strategic, coherent approach, and stop undermining our own progress through contradictory stances that advance "diametrically opposed goals." The miniature manifesto is likely to inspire many philanthropists, policymakers, and advocates and serve as a reference point in America's food policy debates for years to come.
But smarter national policy is just part of the puzzle. A top-down approach can only work if it's advancing and amplifying what's working from the bottom-up. At DC Central Kitchen, we embody many of the principles laid out by Bittman and company. Founded as the nation's first community kitchen, we've been a leading advocate for recycling surplus food, paying fair wages, and building more robust local food systems. For years, we've translated their grand goals into the gritty grassroots work of liberating and strengthening our community through the power of food. And what we're doing is working.
Of the nine 'guarantees' the authors would like US food policy to ensure, DC Central Kitchen has pioneered real, path-breaking progress toward six:
- All Americans have access to healthful food. DCCK prepares nearly 12,000 healthy meals each day—5,000 for DC's homeless shelters, halfway houses, and direct service nonprofits, and more than 6,000 for low-income DC schoolchildren. Our school meals are scratch-cooked, locally sourced, and meet all the health standards that have sparked so much debate in the past few years. And most importantly, kids love them. DCCK's unique approach to fighting food deserts even won a national Social Innovation Challenge award from Tavis Smiley and the University of Maryland this year.
- Farm policies are designed to support our public health and environmental objectives. We're proof that national policy pushes can work at the local level. As a USDA Farm to School grantee, we increased purchases of six local crops by more than 200% and saw student consumption of items like sweet potatoes and broccoli nearly double. But it look lots of on-the-ground inventiveness and grassroots community engagement to achieve these gains.
- Production and marketing of our food are done transparently. Want to see our kitchens in action? Come visit—or better yet, volunteer. Check out our Volunteer Bill of Rights, which ensures that our volunteers have the ability to understand what they're contributing to and why. Interested in what we're serving in schools? You can see our menus for breakfast, lunch, and supper here.
- The food industry pays a fair wage to those it employs. DCCK is proud to be a job creator. We train at-risk women and men in the culinary arts and work to hire as many as we can in living wage positions. Today, 60 of our own graduates—people with histories of incarceration, addiction, homelessness, and chronic unemployment—now work for DCCK full-time, powering our pioneering programs. We provide a starting wage of $13.60 per hour with full health benefits and a 50% retirement match, because we believe work should pay in America.
- Food marketing sets children up for healthful lives by instilling in them a habit of eating real food. Our Healthy Corners program delivers nutritious snacks to 64 corner stores in low-income neighborhoods, marketing our fruits, vegetables, and prepared foods in stores, on buses, and at community events. We conduct taste tests in the school cafeterias where we serve lunch to refine recipes and get kids excited about healthy eating. And we even operate a mobile garden out of the bed of a pickup truck so we can bring seed-to-table lessons to inner city schools and youth programs.
- The food system's carbon footprint is reduced. DCCK reduces shipping costs (and emissions) by buying locally; as the only USDA-recognized Food Hub in the District of Columbia, we're aggregating and redistributing more than 200,000 pounds of local produce each year, investing in dozens of small and mid-size family farms. We also help local farmers sell more of what they grow, by purchasing aesthetically imperfect fruits and vegetables that otherwise wouldn't have a buyer and would be plowed back under as seed. America wastes forty percent of its food supply each year, and this wasteful practice is a primary driver of that disturbing statistic.
We aren't experts in climate change, animal husbandry, or antibiotics, so our programs don't match up with all nine of the goals laid out in the Post—and we're perfectly fine with that. But if that editorial got you thinking about the future of food in America, we hope our programs will get you excited about what's already really happening in our country.
Our successes are real, and they're changing lives in our community for the better. As the important conversation about smarter food policy moves forward, let's make sure the dialogue is equally focused on smarter food practices, and use those practices to shape better policy.
From Campus Kitchen to Corner Store: Huan Song and DCCK Bring Good Food Where it's Needed Most
Huan Song used to dream of being a professional chef. Today, she aspires to make fresh, nutritious food available in all of DC's poorest neighborhoods. A love of cooking and her volunteer work with The Campus Kitchens Project linked these two dreams and led her to her current job as nutrition and community coordinator at DC Central Kitchen.
The Campus Kitchens Project feeds a love of cooking
Huan has been involved in nutrition and food issues since she was a teenager. She graduated from the College of William and Mary in 2013 with degrees in environmental science and business administration, but her first love was culinary arts—specifically French cuisine—and she planned to go to culinary school after high school.
"I learned French and everything," she laughs.
Her parents suggested she spend time working in a restaurant kitchen before enrolling in culinary school. This was sage advice, as it turned out: Huan hated the hectic kitchen environment, but her love of cooking remained intact.
"So I went to college. But there was no kitchen in my dorm and I needed a place to cook. My first week at college, I went to an information session on Campus Kitchens," she says.
Over one-third of all food in the United States is never eaten—it gets thrown out, usually after it has been harvested, transported, processed, and sold. This waste drives up food prices, uses up resources, and adds to pollution. At the same time, millions of people in the U.S. suffer from hunger and malnutrition. Through The Campus Kitchens Project, student volunteers at 36 schools around the country address the dual problems of waste and hunger by recovering unused food from cafeterias and preparing and delivering nutritious meals for people in need. They also teach kids and families about nutrition, develop partnerships with farms and other institutions to make efficient use of food, and build connections in their schools' communities.
Huan volunteered for The Campus Kitchens Project throughout her college years. She began gleaning for the program from a farmers' market in Colonial Williamsburg that she frequented every Saturday, getting to know the farmers and bakers, who were happy to donate their unsold products to the program.
She also joined the Botany Club, worked for food service company Aramark doing market-sustainable procurement for the campus dining service, and interned at an international development organization to learn more about food and development issues.
In the process, she developed a passion not just for food, but for food justice, and that's what brought her to DC Central Kitchen. As nutrition and community coordinator, Huan works on two DC Central Kitchen programs, Healthy Corners and the Truck Farm, that aim to bring fresh produce to food deserts (parts of the city where such food is scarce or financially out of reach) through an approach that involves and benefits stores, customers, and neighborhoods.
Access to real food in all DC neighborhoods
Cheap eats—highly processed snacks and convenience foods that are high in calories but low in nutritional value—are abundant everywhere, and for many, they offer an inexpensive way to satisfy hunger. But for too many communities, processed snacks are all that is available, because fresh, nutritious food either is not sold where people live or is too expensive for them to buy regularly.
Huan believes that affordable, nutritious food should be accessible in every neighborhood in DC, not just the affluent ones. The lack of nutritious food in low-income areas contributes to poor health and can make it hard for kids to succeed at school (and adults at work), adding to the many challenges they already face. She and her colleagues at DC Central Kitchen are working with communities and businesses to increase the availability of nutritious and affordable food in DC's food deserts.
"We want to provide people with access to nutritious food," she says.
Healthy Corners finds convenience stores in low-income neighborhoods that are located in high-traffic areas without a nearby grocery store, places where fresh produce is not available. Healthy Corners works with shop owners who are interested in participating in the program to make fruit, vegetables, and other nutritious foods and snacks available in their stores.
Normally, the cost of procuring a small amount of perishable produce would be too high for a small corner store in a low-income area, but Healthy Corners buys it in bulk for all 36 participating stores, and store owners order only what they need from DC Central Kitchen.
The program works with the store owners to look at what they sell, who their customers are, and what their customers want to buy. It then helps the stores market the products through attractive branded displays and periodic cooking demonstrations on the stores' high-traffic days.
Healthy Corners breaks down barriers
Even city residents who are lucky enough to have access to affordable vegetables and fruits may never have had a chance to see how they grow. To give them a glimpse, Truck Farm brings rows of herbs, lettuces, strawberries, and other garden vegetables to them—in the back of a pickup truck.
Since 2011, the travelling garden has been going to city events, Healthy Corners cooking demonstrations, and to schools, where kids can see how a tomato plant or a head of lettuce grows. Cooking demonstrations feature some of the vegetables that are growing in the truck, so people can see the link between a garden and a meal.
Kids play an important role in making Healthy Corners work. Through DCCK's Healthy School Food program, kids learn about the benefits of fresh food and are given a voice in how to eat it: At cooking demonstrations in schools, students sample a given ingredient—say, kale—in three different recipes. They vote on the best-tasting recipe, and that dish is later featured in the school cafeteria. Huan says that, given the chance to pick their favorite dish, the kids are often more open-minded about new foods than their parents. To make it as easy as possible to include new dishes in their families' diets, the program gives the students recipe cards and a list of nearby stores that participate in Healthy Corners where they can buy the ingredients.
The Healthy Corners model is succeeding because it aligns its goals with those of the store owners and customers. The stores want to attract customers, and one way to do that is to show they care by offering healthful food.
"The shop owners are happy to take ownership of the program and promote it, because customers like it," says Huan.
It also increases their chances of winning DC government "Great Streets" capital improvement grants to improve storefront facades or upgrade equipment. More attractive stores and happier customers are good for business and the neighborhood.
DC Central Kitchen has received a second grant from DC's Department of Small and Local Business Development to expand Healthy Corners to 30 more stores this summer. Huan hopes the program will "take down barriers"—she means both the plexiglass windows that are all too common in stores as well as the barriers to food security that low-income communities face.
She sees it as part of the larger food movement advocating healthy, sustainable food systems that benefit everyone.
"The food movement is a long process, like the women's movement and civil rights movements. We're at the beginning of that process," she says. "I want Healthy Corners to be a household name; I want fresh fruit and vegetables to be as available as Coca Cola."
Huan's SNAP Challenge: Week OneHuan Song, DCCK's Nutrition & Community Outreach Coordinator, is participating in the SNAP Challenge this month. Here's her first blog post.
Over 47 million low-income Americans depend on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to purchase food. In the District of Columbia, one in eight families battles hunger and chronic food insecurity. The House Farm bill (HR 2642) proposed a nearly $39 billion decrease in spending for the SNAP program over the next 10 years and starting November 1st, recipients of SNAP saw a cut to their benefits.
With all these numbers thrown around, what are the actual implications on people's daily lives? This is the question that I want to explore during my month-long SNAP challenge. The average SNAP recipient received around $135 per month prior to November 1st. After the cuts, they will now only receive $124 per month.
What is the value of $11? Two cappuccinos and a brownie? Or perhaps fresh fruits and vegetables for your kids?
During these four weeks in November, I will be doing all my food shopping at four of our Healthy Corners stores spread across Wards 4, 5, 7 and 8. The areas that these corner stores are located in are considered food desserts where residents lack access to affordable fresh foods. My first stop is Buxton Glory International Market on Georgia Avenue in Northeast. I planned out my menu for this week which is repetitive but nutritious and I will to use my crock pot to help me prepare two soups while I'm at work:
Buxton Glory carries quite a selection of fresh fruits and vegetables supplied by DC Central Kitchen's Healthy Corners program and a local farmer. On my trip to the store, I spent $22.68 on tomatoes, green peppers, garlic, onion, spinach, cucumber, pears, bananas, and dried goods. There is still $8.32 left of my weekly food budget to spend on another trip to the store to round out my meals for the week. I hope I can make the money stretch!
Truck Farm Season Kicks Off
Truck Farm is back! Last week DC Central Kitchen staff prepared the truck for its third year as a traveling, edible garden exhibit aimed at introducing the city's youth to gardening and fresh, healthy foods. The bed of our Truck Farm is now growing carrots, snap peas, bush beans, lemon thyme, purple sage and about twenty other vegetables and herbs.
We'd like to thank our financial sponsors, the Aetna Foundation and the 15 Foundation, for making this work possible. More thanks to Old City Farm and Guild for donating seedlings for last week's planting and Johnson Florist and Garden Center for donating supplies.
During this year's growing season, we will be taking the Truck Farm to visit kids at the youth agencies, schools, and Healthy Corners stores that we serve, as well as city farmers markets. During each visit we'll introduce kids to gardening and show them that it really is possible to grow your own food right here in the city. Each hands on session allows kids to touch, smell and even taste fresh veggies and herbs.
The Truck Farm is an important part of our wrap-around approach to ending childhood hunger. The program generates enthusiasm about eating fresh foods and increases participation in the healthy, scratch-cooked meals we deliver to ten DC schools in Ward 5, 7, and 8 by using lessons to generate enthusiasm about the fresh fruits and vegetables on their lunch trays.

2014 Jeep Cherokee Limited Review: Introduction
Replacing an iconic nameplate - even more than a decade after it was last in service - is a tall order, especially for a company as steeped in its own history as Jeep. The 2014 Jeep Cherokee makes a dramatic break with tradition in a number of key ways, but at its core this new compact SUV is every bit as useful - and capable - as its boxy predecessor. In fact, not only is the 2014 Cherokee an improvement on the Cherokee of old, but it also significantly one-ups the now-departed Liberty, which never managed to find a place in the hearts of Jeep fans (or sport-utility vehicle buyers in general).
That the Jeep Cherokee now rides on a platform borrowed from a Fiat sedan, and features exterior styling that some would say qualifies as 'over the top' are just distractions from the fundamental truth that Jeep has presented us with a genuine alternative to the template employed by most compact family haulers currently on the market. More rugged than a Ford Escape, comfier than a Toyota RAV4, and certainly more stylish than a long list of conservatively curvy clones, the Cherokee expands Jeep's vocabulary down to the entry-level with a polished accent never before seen from the domestic brand.
2014 Jeep Cherokee Limited Review: Models and Prices
The 2014 Jeep Cherokee's based Sport trim starts at an MSRP of $22,995, and comes with air conditioning, 17-inch steelies, remote entry, Bluetooth connectivity, a touchscreen to interact with the vehicle's audio system, and a steering wheel that tilts and telescopes. Stepping up to the Cherokee Latitude (MSRP $24,495) installs roof rails, body-color exterior trim, 17-inch alloy rims, tinted windows, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a front seat that can be folded forward, vinyl door panels, fog lights, and LED lights throughout the interior, while the Cherokee Trailhawk (MSRP $29,495) adds knobby tires to special 17-inch rims, along with a locking rear-differential, a standard four-wheel drive system, the Uconnect vehicle interface, satellite radio, a more aggressive front end, skid plates, tow hooks, and nicer gauges. The top-tier Cherokee Limited (MSRP $27,995) upgrades to a keyless ignition, 18-inch rims, dual automatic climate control, heated leather seats and a heated steering wheel, and power adjustments for the driver's seat. It's important to note, however, that the Limited doesn't feature any of the Trailhawk's off-road goodies by default, nor does it require the addition of four-wheel drive (hence the 'lower' price compared to the Trailhawk).
The test vehicle I drove for a week was a 2014 Jeep Cherokee Limited that came with four-wheel drive, a panoramic sunroof, no-cost off-road suspension with the Active Drive II four-wheel drive system, the Technology package (automatic high beam headlights, a number of advanced safety systems, adaptive cruise control, automatic parking), and the Luxury Group (nicer leather, cooled seats, power tailgate, HID headlights, rearview camera, cargo cover). The total price for this particular model came to $37,630.
2014 Jeep Cherokee Limited Review: Design
What's New:
- The 2014 Jeep Cherokee is an entirely new design.
- The Cherokee rides on a Fiat sedan platform.
Ever since the very first images of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee leaked onto the Internet there has been a minor controversy surrounding its decidedly non-standard styling. To wit: the new Cherokee abandons the familiar rectangular shape of past compact Jeeps to embrace an oddly-trapezoidal front end treatment that bends the brand's traditional seven-bar grille up and over a protruding snout framed by malevolently-canted driving lights. Once you've gotten past that first impression, the rest of the Cherokee isn't nearly as in-your-face, composed as it is of swelled fenders, a relatively short rear overhang, and a large hatch opening.
Personally, I have come to appreciate the 2014 Jeep Cherokee's willingness to forge its own path in sheet metal. It would be more accurate to describe the SUV's styling as 'interesting' rather than 'attractive,' but one thing is certain - you'll never mistake it for your neighbor's silver drabmobile in the mall parking lot.
It's far easier to parse the Cherokee Limited's comfortable and classy passenger compartment, which is slathered in leather and soft plastics. The two-tone seats in my tester were a nice touch, and Jeep has clearly worked hard to create a functional ensemble that feels nothing like the parts-bin special one might expect from a collaboration between America and Italy. It feels a lot like you are driving a smaller, slightly less expensive Grand Cherokee when you are inside the SUV's cabin, which is high praise given the well-received status of the Cherokee's mid-size sibling.
2014 Jeep Cherokee Limited Review: Comfort and Cargo
What's New:
- The 2014 Jeep Cherokee is an entirely new design.
- Cargo space measures slightly less than what was offered by the Liberty it replaces.
The 2014 Jeep Cherokee continues to surprise by just how well it insulates riders from the outside world. The vehicle's interior does a good job of knocking back road and wind noise, which is not the case with all compact SUVs, and the sound of the engine is also relatively muted even with the pedal to the floor. Those riding up front have an excellent vantage point over the pavement ahead, while passengers relegated to the second row will be happy to know that they can slide the seat back - as well as recline it - in order to make themselves more comfortable.
Cargo space in the Jeep Cherokee is listed at 54.9 cubic feet in total, which is about five cubes short of the squared-off Liberty. It's not the 70 cubic feet you'll find in rivals from Ford and Honda, but it's big enough to be practical for a wide variety of carrying needs. The Cherokee also boasts a secret storage compartment that can be accessed by folding up the front passenger seat cushion, which is of course suitable for any 'Midnight Express'-inspired runs across the border.
2014 Jeep Cherokee Limited Review: Features and Controls
What's New:
- The 2014 Jeep Cherokee introduces the next-generation Uconnect interface.
The 2014 Jeep Cherokee can be outfitted with a strong tech quotient through the judicious selection of options packages, such as those found in my tester. I was happy to see Chrysler's brand-new Uconnect system sitting atop the SUV's center stack where its 8.4-inches of touchscreen goodness and crisp graphics lit up the interior. I know I complain a lot about companies burying their heated seat and steering wheel controls in a touchscreen instead of offering hard buttons, but at the very least Jeep presents the on/off icons for each of these features immediately after hitting the ignition button. In addition to this particular convenience, Uconnect remains the easiest entertainment and communications system to use from any automaker on any continent.
The rest of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee's control set is fairly straightforward, with the Selec-Terrain dial for interacting with the SUV's four-wheel drive system sitting on the center console, and steering wheel buttons that can scroll through a host of vehicle information screens displayed in the middle of the vehicle's gauge package. Everything I needed to access was easy to reach from the driver's seat, and I could count on rotary knobs and buttons to help out with the stereo and climate controls when I didn't feel like browsing through Uconnect menus.
2014 Jeep Cherokee Limited Review: Safety and Ratings
What's New:
- The 2014 Jeep Cherokee debuts a host of new active safety features.
Every version of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee comes with electronic stability control and traction control, side curtain airbags, knee airbags for front passengers, dual forward airbags, and side impact airbags at all four outboard seating positions. The Limited trim that I drove also came with a long list of advanced safety features, including a lane departure warning and intervention system, a forward collision warning system with automatic braking, and a blind spot monitor - gear that wasn't available with the Liberty. The Trailhawk also has access to this optional equipment.
2014 Jeep Cherokee Crash-Test Ratings: The Jeep Cherokee has been given a rating of 'good' in every important crash test category by the IIHS, making it a Top Safety Pick from that organization. The NHTSA awards the compact Jeep with a four out of five star rating for crash safety.
2014 Jeep Cherokee Limited Review: Engines and Fuel Economy
What's New:
- The 2014 Jeep Cherokee adds two new power plants (four and six-cylinder) compared to the Liberty it replaces.
- Three different four-wheel drive systems are also available with the Cherokee.
- A nine-speed automatic transmission is standard with the SUV.
Much has been made about the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee's nine-speed automatic transmission, and with good reason: the unit features one more forward cog than any other autobox on the planet (not counting 18-wheelers and sport bikes, of course). The reason for such a well-endowed gearbox is fuel mileage (as an engine's powerband can be more effectively used), and it works for the Cherokee. Efficiency figures for the vehicle's four-cylinder show as 22-mpg city and 31-mpg highway for front-wheel drive versions, while the V-6 puts down 19-mpg around town and 28-mpg during highway cruising.
The 2.4-liter base motor offered by the Jeep Cherokee generates 184 horses and 171 lb-ft of torque, while its Pentastar-based 3.2-liter V-6 ups the ante to 271 horsepower and 239 lb-ft of torque. All three engines can be matched with either Active Drive I, Active Drive II, or Active Drive Lock four-wheel drive systems. AD I delivers torque to the rear wheels only as needed in order to preserve fuel efficiency, while AD II introduces a more sophisticated power management system that also includes a low-range setting. AD Lock comes exclusively with the Trailhawk off-road trim level, and it benefits from a locking rear differential.
2014 Jeep Cherokee Limited Review: Driving Impressions
The 2014 Jeep Cherokee's optional V-6 engine is a revelation in a class of vehicles that has increasingly become a 'four-cylinders-only' club. The Cherokee is a somewhat heavy vehicle - as are a number of its competitors - so it only makes sense that the 3.2-liter Pentastar is a better option than its capable, yet down-on-torque base unit. I was delighted at how spirited the acceleration from the Jeep's V-6 was in all sorts of driving situations, and the larger displacement engine also has the added bonus of not being nearly as noisy at full throttle as a comparable four-banger.
The nine-speed automatic that comes with the Jeep Cherokee was a constant source of curiosity for myself as well as my passengers. I must admit that I was initially nervous that the all-new transmission would spoil the Cherokee party for me with a constant hunt for exactly the right gear, but this was not the case. In fact, while underway the Jeep's multi-cogger rarely ever made itself known, respectfully doling out shifts with surprising transparency. When pulling away from a stoplight, however, there were times when I detected a more brusque advance from first gear to second, as well as a brief pause whenever I wanted to switching from forward, to reverse, and then back again. Overall, the transmission turned in a respectable performance that rarely drew attention to its almost-ten-speed status.
I never got the opportunity to properly exercise the optional Active Drive II system that was installed on my test vehicle, as the pavement remained mostly clear during our cold February week together. When navigating the patches of ice that line my alley, I could from time to time feel the front wheels break loose, but forward momentum was never threatened as the four-wheel drive simply transferred power to the rear of the SUV almost instantly. I kept the feature in Auto mode for almost the entire week, but I did experiment with Sport mode on the Selec-Terrain system (which also offers Snow as well as Sand/Mud settings) to see just how exciting things could get behind the wheel of the Cherokee.
The answer was 'not that much,' for while Sport mode deactivated traction control (yes!) and held each of the SUV's nine gears for that much longer on deceleration, throttle response was not significantly affected. Indeed, what impressed me most about the 2014 Jeep Cherokee wasn't its athleticism, but rather its ability to provide a smooth, comfortable, and planted ride regardless of road conditions. The SUV delivers a driving experience that is more reminiscent of a mid-size model than a compact, which is high praise (especially at freeway speeds).
2014 Jeep Cherokee Limited Review: Final Thoughts
In my mind, the 2014 Jeep Cherokee is a strong pick in the compact SUV class. I haven't driven a base Cherokee, so I can't say whether the most affordable version of the vehicle would dazzle me as much with its weaker engine and fewer amenities, but the six-cylinder Limited trim was nothing like its underwhelming predecessor the Liberty in handling, attitude, or comfort. Reasonable fuel economy, plus a high level of available technology make the Cherokee appealing to families, while its available four-wheel drive and genuine off-road tendencies should satisfy Jeep diehards looking to take a break from the punishment doled out by the more hardcore Wrangler. If the Cherokee is an accurate representation of how future joint efforts between Chrysler and Fiat are going to turn out, then I eagerly await the next Franken-Jeep with eyes wide open.
2014 Jeep Cherokee Limited Review: Pros and Cons
- Comfortable, upscale interior
- Powerful V-6
- Capable four-wheel drive system
- Uconnect is top of its class for vehicle interfaces
- Smooth driving experience
- Reasonable fuel mileage
- Styling is polarizing
- Nine-speed transmission occasionally abrupt from a stop
- Adding safety features only possible on priciest trim levels
- Cargo space not as large as several rivals
