Best custom ROMs for Android: 5 awesome UIs to make your smartphone even better
You might enjoy the way your smartphone interface looks and feels, but custom ROMs give you the opportunity to explore brand new designs and UIs. They can also offer new and very impressive functionality. If you are yet to explored the hidden pleasures of the Android community, check out our list of the best custom ROMs for Android.
CyanogenMod 12 - stable, stylish, with frequent updates
CyanogenMod is one of the most well-supported ROMs for Android, with a huge community, and frequent updates. It's no wonder that this popular Android ROM even managed to find a home on last year's OnePlus One.
Features of CyanogenMod include its unique app launcher entitled Trebuchet, personal themes, video screenshots via its Screencast functionality, and a mode specifically for left-handed landscape viewing. CyanogenMod currently supports more than 50 devices and the team are hard at work on a Marshmallow build.
PAC-ROM touts itself as the all-in-one ROM solution. The team shamelessly cherry picks features from the other ROMs listed on this page, including OmniSwitch and CyanogenMod's Pie controls, and puts them all together in their own package.
It might seem lacking in personality, or overkill, but if you're looking for the most customizable, option-rich ROM, then this is it. And wait until you see the boot animation — the team deserves some points for that alone.
With nightly builds and well over 50 devices supported, it's a great package. Learn all about it at PAC-ROM.com
Paranoid Android - Stock Android with subtle changes
The first appearance of the Paranoid Android Custom ROM dates back to early 2013 and Android Jelly Bean. The Paranoid Android ROM doesn't provide a radical design overhaul, but focuses on a number of simple but effective changes to notifications and navigation.
Immersive mode allows you to view information on screen while hiding system bars, and 'dynamic system bars' blend your status and navigation bar color with the particular app background. It's purely aesthetic, but provides a nice transition.
Early in 2015, OnePlus hired a number of key members of the Paranoid Android team. The project subsequently went into deep hibernation, with one developer announcing its passing and another refuting it. Whether the project has the energy to be resurrected remains to be seen.
Paranoid Android is available for a whole range of devices including the Nexus line and the OnePlus One. To learn more, visit ParanoidAndroid.co.
OmniROM - for the OmniSwitch toolbar
Designed by former CyanogenMod devs (Xplodwild, Chainfire, Dees_Troy, Pulser and Entropy) in late 2013, OmniROM is a no-frills ROM, which basically offers the Stock Android experience with some nice extras.
OmniROM supports the ability to launch apps by tapping on the time and date in the notifications menu, it can add a notification counter in the status bar to show the number notifications you've received, and has the ability to manage the display brightness just by sliding your finger along the notifications bar.
OmniROM's standout feature, however, is the OmniSwitch shortcut. The OmniSwitch is a quick-menu that you can load with shortcuts and jump from any part of your phone to any app, or vice versa, and it is completely customizable.
Lollipop nightlies for OmniROM started back in June. Head to OmniROM.org for more.
SlimROMs - bloatless but feature-rich
SlimROMs made a name for itself by offering a completely stripped down version of Android and letting you determine exactly how much of the Google Play services you want bundled in. Otherwise, SlimROMs is characterized by the ability to modify the DPI of fonts and icons and make everything as tiny as you need it to be. The Slim family currently supports almost 50 devices.
An alpha Android Lollipop build is out, but things are moving slowly at the SlimROM camp and updates are currently infrequent at best. Find out more at slimroms.net.
AOKP - for complete control and tons of customization options
Android Open Kang Project, or AOKP, is aimed at serious Android modders, and those with good level of technical know-how. Released in September 2013, AOKP is now compatible with dozens of Android devices, and houses a number of interesting features, like the ability to customize shortcuts in the Quick settings menu, and manage the color and blink rate of the LED notifications in several applications.
Additionally, this ROM also includes a feature called Navigation ring, which acts an an intuitive shortcut for up to five apps. As if that wasn't enough, there is also application permissions management and the ability to adjust processor performance, making this one of the most interesting Custom ROMs on android.
Stable releases are few and far between. After a break from October last year, a post on the AOKP website in March revealed that work would soon be starting on 'proper' Lollipop builds, but things have remained quiet since then. We'll be keeping an eye on this one. To learn more, visit AOKP.co.
The custom ROM database
This list is by no means exhaustive and you might want to do a little more research into other custom ROMs that are currently available. Thankfully, the fine ladies and gents over at the XDA Developers Forum have put together a custom ROM database that compares all the features of the major custom ROMs at a glance. It's a great resource. The page was down at the time of writing, but keep an eye on it, as it may well be back up soon.
What do you think is the best custom ROM on Android? Let us know in the comments below.

update costum rom for asus zenfonr c :'(
Give Miui Rom, Miui Roms look good
you missed resurrection remix THE BEST ROM ;>
>tfw nothing is updated to Note 5 920p (if someone knows one or is able to find one, that'd be gr8)
I always go back and forward TW - CM some days i feel like customizing for wich i use CM based ROMS and when im in the mood for stability i go back TW ... its really up to what you find useful i guess and some times just to keep up on the updates...
"CyanogenMod is the Volkswagen of custom ROMs"
These days this is not a compliment :D
it seems that OAKP is outdated, or the link is wrong. For Samsung Note 3 hlte are offered ROMS from 2014.
I feel that Note 3 hlte is still a great device... now even better since i installed SOKP ROM for 5.1.1... no pain in any attempt.
I did try CyanogenMod, unfortunately always by bad results. I understand that CM is a great team probably i was just unlucky.
I recommend strongly to install SOKP.Definitively get rid of the annoying bloatware of Samsung.
Where can I find the SOKP ROM? I to have a note 3 and still love the device. Used CM awhile back but always had issues with updating.
I've attempted PAC ROM once and it boot looped me. Not exactly sure what the problem was as others with my hardware ran it successfully.
I myself only like to use Touchwiz based custom roms, I find ASOP and CM quite boring. On my S6 edge and Tab S, I have tried a few ASOP and CM based roms but still go back to either CarHDRom or Echoe Rom.
SOKP [sonic open kang project] dude..! That's the best! Do mention it in other articles.
does the paranoid android ROM works for every phone.and does it work with android 5.0. If it works can you give me a link to download it.
Because i want it on my Lenovo K3 note
Pac man rom is the best for me!!!
I'm an AOKP user since September. Love it. But I wanted to try Lollipop. So I backed up my AOKP and flashed Lollipop.. Which I really like. I did a backup of lollipop and re-installed the AOKP backup with no issues. However.. Re-installing the lollipop backup didn't go so smoothly. I ran into all sorts of things. I tried this several times on my nexus 4 and 7 with the same results. I like Lollipop so much I decided to stick with it still hanging on to my AOKP backup for later. I noticed straight away that it was tricky finding the TWRP backup folder. It also was doing weird things to the ability to write to the internal memory. I had to keep wiping my gadgets clean to reinstall Lollipop and get it to work. If anyone knows how to fix this I'm all ears. I like the ability to flip back and forth between roms.
What about the Touchwiz based roms? There are plenty of great ones out there for i9505 like Echoe v44 (4.4.4 & 5.01), CarHDRom (4.4.2 & 5.01) is a great themed rom. You only ever put on ASOP or CM based roms.
CM is not as good as they used to be, they don't apply fixed that are reported (just look at the forums).

@Geoff, these sound like great suggestions, I'd like to give them a go and add them in at a later date.
I'll definitely keep Echoe and CarlHD in mind.
Scott Adam Gordon

And yeah CM is definitely changing, but it still stands as one of the most well-supported and talked about ROMs, and I think for new users its one of the "safest" entry points.
But I take your point ;)
Hey Scott, I want to put CyanogenMod on my old but dear Samsung Galaxy S2. Can you please guide as to how to do that? Thanks in advance!!!
I have CyanogenMod 12 on my samsung galaxy s2 and... well .... if i dont plug it to the charge, the phone will crash when cm will boot... i do not recommend u to put a custom os on ur galaxy s2.
Two issues with Touchwiz ROMs. First carrier compatibility. I ran a number of Touchwiz ROMs particularly for T-Mobile wifi calling compatibility. And I ran some without it in a more generic format.
In the first case, you're trapped with how fast your carrier is updating Touchwiz add ons. This limits the number of ROM choices and how fast updates trickle down. With the early lollipop roms, there were a lot of battery issues across the Touchwiz spectrum. Waiting for the carrier to pass along fixes was brutal.
Even on the more generic TW ROMs, the rollout of features and fixes was slow. You mostly saw updates when the next flagship was released and the bloatware was rolled into ROMs for older phones.
With Samsung only giving you 18 months or so of official ROM support, TW compatibility can be limited and slow to appear.
The Lollipop battery and related heating issues drove me into the ARMs (there's a pun there) of Slim and the arter97 kernel. That kernel compatibility made a huge improvement in my phone experience for 2015 and the 5.x ROMs.

I guess it's time to make an official announcement. I'm leaving for seminary on Sunday, and I'll be blogging in a new place: You're Only Young Twice: Adventures of a Gray-Haired Seminarian. It isn't that my story has ended, but the chapter I explored here is done. Here's hoping there's time in my new life (new lives, actually—the seminary life in another city and my regular life back home, which will include a field ed placement in an Episcopal church down the road) still includes room for blogging.

Summer vacationPublished July 4, 2010 Discernment 1 Comment
Somehow, without my having made any conscious decision about it, this blog seems to have gone on vacation.
It has a lot to do with CPE. For one thing, my day starts earlier than ever. I leave the house before I'm awake each morning, and by the time I get home I'm exhausted, and I save what little reflective energy I have left for required CPE writing assignments. I'm concerned, also, about whether blogging about CPE would violate patient privacy.
But I wonder if that's the whole story. It might just be that this blog has run its course, that the journey I have been working out in this space has reached a conclusion–not that I've finished traveling, oh no, but the part that comes next feels like an altogether different story.
No longer the church-seeker or the tentative new Episcopalian who was more than a little surprised to look around and find myself here, I'm a postulant in the Episcopal Church, on my way (I hope) toward ordination to the priesthood. I'm an official MDiv student with a class schedule and a field ed placement for the fall, and by the end of this week I expect to have my dorm assignment. I walked away from a good job and am halfway through CPE. I have no illusions about how hard the next two years are going to be, and yet I am filled with joy at the prospect.
So if you're still reading, you can check back in September to see if the blog resumes.
If not, I promise to leave a forwarding address.
On-callPublished June 13, 2010 Uncategorized Leave a Comment
I gird for battle. On my belt I carry my cell phone (checking to make sure it is set to vibrate) and a beeper (checking to make sure it is turned on). Around my neck, my hospital ID and office key.
On my way to the hospital, a big old ground hog lumbers out of the bushes and into the road in front of me. He makes it, unlike the bird that flies right into the front of my car. I don't hear a thump, but in the rear view mirror I can see an explosion of feathers in my wake. I feel like the Angel of Death. Look out patients, here I come.
It is a religious hospital and I enj0y that, though I can't help wondering why there has to be so much bad religious art.
CPE is the first time I have ever spent all day every day with people who talk about God as if there really were such a person, where I am no different from anybody else. It feels good, but strange.
I have never been good at making cocktail party conversation. I realize that is one of the things I am learning to do here, as I go from patient and patient. So CPE will be good for something practical, anyway.
A Catholic, a Jew, and a …Published June 7, 2010 Uncategorized 1 Comment
Someone said it sounded like a joke: A Catholic, a Jew, a Presbyterian, and an Episcopalian went into a …
No, not a bar.
A Catholic, a Jew, a Presbyterian, and an Episcopalian went into a hospital, and became a CPE chaplain intern team, at least for a summer. And found that in many ways they were more alike than not. And found they could lean on each other when they had to, when this place where they found themselves felt too hard and too strange and too sad and too complex to get through it all alone.
The Jew, a 24-year-old rabbinical student who is less than half the age of the Episcopalian, seems at times like a boy and at other times like a wise old man. The Catholic, who started seminary out of high school but left, only to return much later in life, will still be one of the young guys when he's finally ordained, and he's a good guy. The Presbyterian attends the seminary the Episcopalian might have attended if some things had turned out a little differently, in the same university town where she used to work. (No regrets overall, but I like him and would be glad for the opportunity to know him for more than a summer.)
And the Episcopalian? Well, the Episcopalian loves the conversations with patients and families but, being an introvert at heart, experiences them as hard work. Which, combined with a schedule that leaves hardly a minute free for personal concerns and has included much weekend travel and assorted obligations at home, accounts for why there's been so little blogging lately.
But all is well, and I hope some day to blog again. Hope all is well with my blog friends, too!
The first day of CPEPublished May 24, 2010 Discernment , Uncategorized Leave a Comment
My achievements: Was able to navigate by intuition only from a distant conference room to the hospital cafeteria and back again in less than 10 minutes during our short morning break, and I was able to make the CD player work when others couldn't. So things haven't changed much: I'm still in the tech support business, and I still have what it takes to find my way to coffee under pressure.
What I learned: The term pipeliner, referring to a student who goes to seminary straight from undergraduate studies. We have three of those.The term second careerist, referring to a seminarian who did something else first. We have several of those, too. Guess that makes me about a fourth careerist, although I might not be the oldest in the group–I have an approximate contemporary who didn't say his age, so I can't be sure.
Personal observation: I was very much aware, as I waited for the rest of the group to gather in the lobby at 8 AM, that it was the first time I have been in a hospital that early since the day my dad died last June. Lots of emotion around that. It will settle.
Looking in while looking outPublished May 23, 2010 Discernment , Uncategorized 1 Comment
I've been off for the past two weeks, and I've used the time to travel (five days in Copenhagen) and renew social connections (lunch with my mother and sisters, mid-week Eucharist at the next church over), as well as to set up the spiffy new laptop that will replace the desktop computer that expired without warning just before I left for Europe. All this time it's felt as if I were on vacation and would soon return to my desk at the University, but tomorrow the truth hits home. Tomorrow I start CPE. Despite the eyeball-rolling I've been getting from people who have been through this experience, I'm looking forward to it. I guess I see it as my official starting day, the beginning of a great adventure. I'm looking forward to the opportunity to do some hands-on ministry, as well as the opportunity to reflect in a serious way on who I am and who I might be as a pastoral person.
Bring it on!

yesterday a server of mine (debian) went into read-only mode because of problems with the main device (ext3). I contacted the hosting support and the guy told me to boot into rescue and do a fsck on the unmounted device. Lots of problems where discovered and i ended up with a messed up lost+found directory.
I tried to identify the files using "file * | grep MySQL" since i was missing a recent MySQL backup. I also did a grep searching for anything MySQL related. I noticed that the aren't any recent files in the lost+found (not even a current log).
Is there anything else to try before i re-install the server? Like an fsck option that tries harder? :)
ps: i learned that doing a fsck without doing a backup in read-only mode before was a bad idea!

I just happened upon this memorial randomly and it really touched my heart. What a sweet, adorable little dog she was!!! So cute. She looks very sensitive too - humanlike eyes! While it brought tears to my eyes, it was also uplifting to read your story because she had such a wonderful life and was so loved, after such a terrible beginning. That makes me happy. I hope it makes you happy to know your story made a random stranger happy!! Perhaps our mutual furbabies will meet on the other side...!

A privilege for me to visit with, sweet Meisen, and your family here at your beautiful memorial, every time I do so.

So, gorgeous Meisen, I'm here, on the eve of your 8 year angel day, to pay my respects, and to remember and celebrate your generous, joyful, luminous and vibrant heart and soul, and the love you share, and embrace, eternally, with your Momma Jan, Dad and your beloved Michelle.
I don't know which is more moving, Jan, the beautiful tribute written for, about and to your sweet Meisen, or the photos of her which let the world know the profund and amazing amount of love and devotion your precious little 3 1/2 pound Meisen held inside.

Dear sweet Meisen, it's been a little over a year since I found you and wrote a note in your guest book. I sure haven't forgot you or your Mama. Your pictures roll by on my screensaver, and you with the white bone in your mouth always makes me laugh! Meisen, you have such a wonderful Mama who loves you sooo much! I hope I'm there when you meet again. My sophie is getting older, but she gets plenty of attention (and kisses). When she passes, I will tell her to find you. Then she will have someone to play with until I get there. Jan, I had to print the lyrics to "Fly" before I could understand Celine Dion's accent. How can tears come when the words can't be understood? That must be part of the magic a pet brings to those who open their hearts. Now I'm a big Celine Dion fan! Thank you Meisen! Best wishes and love to you and your family Jan.

Hi. I'm so sorry for yor loss. I feel your pain, as I lost my Sweet Girl, Chili, 2 months ago today. She was also a fawn Chihuahua and looked a lot like your baby. I don't know if I'll ever get over it. She was my joy and comfort, my gift from God, as I can tell your baby was for you. I feel so blessed to have had My Sweet in my life. I hope your Meisen and my Chili meet us on the other side when our time comes. Know that many understand the love and devotion you hold for your baby. Love to you and yours. Lauren

Dear Meisen, I love reading your story and seeing all the beautiful photos of you. Your Mama loved you so very much. Every memory of you is safely held tight in her heart. You and your Mom shared the same close bond as me and my Dandy and Peanut...the hole in my heart will never heal over the loss of them. It was such a pleasure learning more about you and the wonderfully happy life you led after you were rescued. Love to you and your family, Hannah

HEre to honor your precious Meisen on her 5th year Angelversary up in Rainbow Bridge. I know how much you love and miss her. She reminds me of my precious Picky who was 15 when he died in 2010. My heart and prayers are with you
03-08-2013 8:12 PM -- By: Bruce, From: PA
Blessings to beautiful, faithful, caring, smart and courageous Meisen, and her Mom Jan, on beloved Meisen's 5yr Angel day. You are and will always be a blessing and treasure, sweet Meisen.
I just met your gorgeous baby Meisen on her birthday in January, Jan, but needed to pay my respects and honor Meisen on her Angel day, as well.
At least now Meisen will be able to see my beautiful little lady Cinnamon, who came to join Meisen on June 4, 2012. Beautiful memorials and tributes such as the one your have created and tend to for Meisen, allow those of us who have lost a beloved soul and family member to know we are not alone.
So many of the memories you speak of, from the wonderful, special moments to tending to the needs of your baby as they get older, or battle illness or disease, resonate with my family. And as is the case with Meisen, my family would do it again, without complaint, a thousand times over, for that's how much we value, and respect, and love our beautiul, brave girl Cinnamon.
Finally, your recounting of holding Meisen, looking into her eyes and feeling nothing but pure love is undeniably true.
Bless gentle spirit and Angel Meisen, and Mom Jan who will always and forever love her so.
01-02-2013 4:13 PM -- By: Bruce, From: PA
Bleated birthday blessings to cute, strong, protective, loving, devoted and brave little lady Meisen, and Mom Jan, on beloved Meisen's 21st birthday.
Thanks to your daughter Michelle for rescuing Meisen from a dangerous situation, and to your entire family for taking the time to understand and appreciate Meisen, and for providing her with a wonderful forever home worthy of this adorable little creature. Bless you and your family for returning in kind the unconditional love and devotion that Meisen brought to your life.
Meisen's is a divine, tender and loving spirit that will remain a part of your life, and who you are, forever.

I love you Meisen! You are so much like my little sweetheart, Sophie. Your Mama gave you such a beautiful memorial, I put it on my favorites and will return to see you again and again little wing. I know the love your Mama feels for you, and I know you will be together again on the other shore. When she calls your name just give her a little bark to let her know you're O.K.!!!

Visiting your Meisen again in what seems like the 100th time. Only I dont always sign. Today I was visiting my Snowy, who I lost only 11 days ago and I wanted to visit Meisen. I pray that as time has passed t hat the hurt of missing him gets a little easier.
He reminds me so much of my Picky
God bless you

To Jan,
Your reflections on you dear Meisen really touched my heart. It was very similar to the rollercoaster of emotions I have gone thru since our familt lost our beloved Maltese Shannon on January 17 after 15 years. Today has been especially rough , its the anniversary of her birth. At first the thought of another Maltese was unthinkable, Shannon was one of a kind. But time passes and we now look forward to sharing X-mas with another Maltese. We waited awhile because we realize that we can replace a dog, we can never replace Shannon and her unique qualities. I'm glad to see you find happiness with a new puppy. In ou home the pain of losing Shannon has beem tempered by the anticipation of sharing our lives with a new puppy.

I stopped by to visit Meisen today. Meisen looks nearly identical to my Picky, who had to be put down on Sept 9, 2010. He was my entire world.
Tell me please, does it hurt any less 4 years after Meisen died? I am really strugglin gin my grief over Picky and its going on 2 years in September.
Your Meisen was a beautiful soul. I know you miss Meisen mor than anything.

Romper Stomper
I recently saw the movie romper stomper which I found out to be really good. I Especially liked the scene where Russel Crowe's character drinks some milk so I decided to paint it.
I usually first do my paintings in greyscale and then color them up afterwards. However this time I started with the colors from the very beginning. It was fun and I think it turned out pretty well for being the first time.
Comments and critiques are welcome.
(And by the way, you really should step away a few feet from your computer and watch this piece from a little distance. That way you can't see all the mistakes and it looks much better :] )

there is a pretty cool song by transplants called Romper Stomper... im sure they got it from the movie.... nice painting too ,though the reflective highlight under his arm drinking the milk looks a little too hard ,, it may just need to be softened a bit ... good work !Sketchbook

The arm is nice, but the way it relates to the rest of him - the connection between arm, hand, bottle, lips, face - is off in both perspective and relative sizes. The face, itself, has some anatomy issues.
There's also a problem with the lighting: you've got a nice light source coming from the top left, but there's also the light from inside the fridge, which isn't really interacting with his body.
The subdued colors are nice, though, and I really like the collection of objects on top of the fridge.blue's sketchbook
Someone gave me this custom title and I will never, ever change it!

It may just be me but I think the contrast of the tattoo is way to strong and in doing so makes it look like it was paint over on a photo. The tattoo is conforming right but not fitting in with the rest of the painting. I say tone it down and it would look a lot better. The only other thing I could see that may need changing is the object that is on the fridge by his Adam's apple. It seem to be competing with his throat.My Online Portfolio (in process of updating)

That was the subject of an e-mail I received this morning that informed me—thanks, Bostick Communications!—"Christian prison minister Marty Angelo approache(d) actress Lindsay Lohan with offer of faith-based treatment program plan."
In attempt to help another troubled celebrity, prison minister Marty Angelo has reached out to actress Lindsay Lohan.
Angelo recently tried unsuccessfully to convince socialite Paris Hilton's sentencing judge, Michael Sauer to let him serve Hilton's jail time if the judge would send her to a residential treatment program. Read Paris Hilton Documentation
This time Angelo has written to actress Lindsay Lohan, who has been plagued with various drug and alcohol related problems. "There is no doubt in my mind you would benefit tremendously from a faith-based treatment program," Angelo remarked in his letter dated July 18, 2007 to Lohan six days 'before' her latest arrest for DUI and cocaine possession. He offered to assist Lohan to find Christian alternatives. Read Lohan Letter
"The secular treatment programs Miss Lohan recently participated in obviously did not work." Angelo stated, "Nothing has changed her addictive behavior."
"Lindsay Lohan's out of control lifestyle is only the tip of the iceberg," Angelo continues, "I feel Miss Lohan would benefit by enrolling into a yearlong faith-based program that allows God to get to the root of her real issues."
a) I did not realize that sending a letter qualified as "approaching;" b) I do not understand what they mean by putting "before" in quotes; c) why do they waste their time sending out e-mails like this on a semi-daily basis?
But as for the offer, maybe Lohan should take him up on it. Finding God is this summer's hottest thing. Just ask Paris and Britney.

What Due Diligence Dilemma? Re-Envisioning Underwriters' Continuous Due Diligence after WorldCom
Joseph Kieran Leahy
South Texas College of Law
May 2009
Cardozo Law Review, Vol. 30, p. 2001, 2009
Brooklyn Law School Legal Studies Paper No. 106
The recent WorldCom decision is widely believed to pose a due diligence dilemma. This dilemma supposedly forces underwriters for large, established corporations to choose between their clients' desire to issue securities quickly in shelf-registered offering and the obligation to exercise reasonable care in due diligence. According to most commentators, the bar for due diligence set by WorldCom is simply too high to surmount during a shelf takedown. As a result, underwriters will either lose lucrative business or lose their defense to liability for misstatements or omissions in the offering document. And the stakes are high: in WorldCom, the underwriters settled for $6.1 billion rather than test their due diligence defense at trial.
Underwriters could avoid this purported quandary if they investigated clients on a continuous basis, and thus, largely completed due diligence before each offering. Yet, scholars generally agree that underwriters perform little such continuous due diligence.
This article casts doubt on that scholarly consensus. This article urges that underwriters for giant corporations may perform more far continuous due diligence than most writers suppose.
This article sheds light on a source of continuous due diligence that has, to date, entirely escaped scholarly attention: investigation outside of the context of securities offerings. The bulge bracket investment banks that underwrite securities for giant corporations typically are organized into client relationship teams. These teams serve all of the bank's clients' financing needs, not just securities underwriting. As such, the team has reason to investigate its clients in many contexts other than securities offerings. This investigation is continuous due diligence by another name - and it may well provide an escape from the underwriter conundrum.

Excellent capture of the near-silhouette of the tree against the bleak foggy day. The focus nicely captures the frost crystals while allowing the distant buildings to fade into insignificance. I like the off-centered composition as well as the slight angle, as this adds interest to an otherwise monochromatic image. It makes you almost feel the chill!
Such a beautiful picture! <3
Wow! This is a really cool picture! I really like the contrast between the frosty branches and the dark trunk of the tree!

A woman visited a modern-art gallery. One painting was bright blue with vivid orange swirls and the one hanging next to it was black with lime-green splotches.
The artist stood nearby, so as politely as she could, the woman said to him, "I'm sorry, but I just don't understand you paintings."
"I paint what I feel inside me," the artist replied.
"I see," the woman replied innocently. "Have you tried Alka-Seltzer?"

An old man was wondering if his wife had a hearing problem. So one night, he stood behind her while she was sitting in her lounge chair. He spoke softly to her, "Honey, can you hear me?"
There was no response.
He moved a little closer and said again, "Honey, can you hear me?"
Still, there was no response.
Finally he moved right behind her and said, "Honey, can you hear me?"
She replied, "For the third time, Yes!"

It was a small town and the patrolman was making his evening rounds. As he was checking a used car lot, he came upon two little old ladies sitting in a used car. He stopped and asked them why they were sitting there in the car. Were they trying to steal it?
"Heavens no, we bought it."
"Then why don't you drive it away."
"We can't drive."
"Then why did you buy it?"
"We were told that if we bought a car here we'd get screwed ...so we're just waiting."

Grandpa and Grandma were living with their son and daughter-in-law. Grandpa noticed that his son had a bottle of Viagra and asked if he could have one.
His son said, "Dad, I don't think you should take one, they're very strong and expensive."
Grandpa said, "I know, but I want to try one. How much are they?"
His son replied, "$30 each."
Grandpa only had a $50 bill but was going to the bank. He told his son that he would leave $30 under his pillow that night.
The next morning his son found $130 under his pillow and said, "Dad, I told you it was only $30. There's $130 under my pillow!"
Grandpa said, "That's ok, the other $100 is from Grandma!"

Pacific coral habitats were surveyed to chemically characterize euphotic zone water masses while optically capturing patterns of reef architecture, diversity, and benthic morphology. Multi-scale, spatially contiguous data were collected in the Gulf of Chiriquí using conventional SCUBA methods in concert with a towed chemical sensor platform and a stereo camera dive sled. Acoustic bathymetry, 3-D optical imaging, in-situ underwater mass spectrometry, youtube justin bieber definitely sounds more enthused by the original songs — some of which resemble everyday numbers with patched-on seasonal references — and a cover of Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas Is You (featuring Carey herself). CTD, chlorophyll, and CDOM, coupled with precision navigation, enabled high resolution comparisons of coastal and island habitats. Salinity/ CDOM / CH4 / CO2 relationships suggest abrupt, complex mixing of terriginous and anthropogenic input near oligotrophic waters being mitigated by cold, hypersaline pulses that potentially affect sessile assemblages.

I am taking a research writing course this semester and I am writing a paper on bicycle commuting. My instructor says I need expert voices in my paper, so I figured you guys where the experts. I mean where else am I going to find experts on bicycle commuting
Basically I'm just going to write down a few questions, answer whatever you like. Here is the catch though. In order to use it in my paper I need your real name, and where you live. Not your address or anything I, just need to be able to quote you accurately in my paper.
For example if I was going to use something I would say I would write it like this:
Ray Tiley from Ocean Township, New Jersey says "Just the financial benefit of not having to pay for car insurance makes bicycle commuting way more practical for me than owning a car."
Thats why I need your name and location. Thanks for helping.
Here are some questions, feel free to mention anything else also.
1. Why do you commute by bicycle?
2. How many miles a week do you commute?
3. What are some ways bicycle commuting has impacted your life?
4. What do you do in bad weather?
5. How are you treated my motorists?
Basically the point of my paper, or thesis if you will is that bicycle commuting is practical for a large majority of motorists and that by adopting a more cycle focused transportation system many societal concerns such as pollution, health, and financial struggle can be helped.
Thanks again.

When we look at poetry by Emily Dickinson today, we get strange big letters and a multitude of dashes which yet cannot give the special Bees, Birds, or Ears any real sense. To blame the reader
— "you know, the author was a mystic, metaphysical, only high minds get it" —
a Mystical Bee remains unappealing on a High Mind as well.
We can read comments over the Internet.
I've heard of her my whole life of course, but have never read anything of hers.
A very detailed analysis for those interested in Emily Dickinson.
I have not read Emily Dickinson's poetry, nor am I inclined to.
Emily Dickinson's poetry was a tremendous success with the people of her times. It remains in curricula. You learn about Emily Dickinson at school. Serious institutions hold conferences about her. A book of her poetry would be in the bookstore round the corner. Only the verse would look like this:
Babbles the Bee in a stolid Ear,
Pipe the Sweet Birds in ignorant cadence —
It did not look so in the first print. Present-day prints rely on a manuscript find.
Are there really special Bees or Ears, and Birds as Sweet as to shy away the bitter species, in Emily Dickinson's poetry? Not only Wikisource would insist there are, indeed.
Let us consider the manuscript, for the em-dash. I do believe this is an autograph.
The manuscript has "low dashes". The markings belong well with the habit of the hand. This habit also has an open e that closes for sibilant clusters, for example. We can compare diadems, Doges, and soundless. Spoken language mattered in Emily Dickinson's notation. The habit of the hand was strong.
The strength of the habit is not in calligraphy. It is in grasping language. We can see the "low dash" also around the name of the addressee, Suz, and Emily Dickinson deserves praise for linguistic prowess on some grounds.
Let us think about language and inspiration, reading the poetry. Emily Dickinson consciously used Latin and Greek, to write fancy pieces. The occurrence is beyond mere coincidence or unaware habit.
(Time and Eternity, XVIII, Playmates) Latin: collusor, companion at play; condiscipulus, school-mate; angelus, a messenger, an angel; lapillus, small stone, pebble (marble?); lusus, a game; Greek: ὁμηλυσία, omelusia, companionship.
God permits industrious angels
Afternoons to play.
I met one, — forgot my school-mates,
All, for him, straightway.
God calls home the angels promptly
At the setting sun;
I missed mine. How dreary marbles,
After playing Crown!
The inspiration is morpho-phonemic. Let us now analyze the big letters for natural phonology.
Mine (Love, I, p. 91) suggests me of a rare book, possibly on Greek poetry or philosophy, and an ex libiris. The white vote was that of approval in ancient Greece, which in matters of the state yet had to be affirmed by officials named the prytaneis, hence prawem głosu prytejskim, in my translation. Feel welcome to the First Series afterword.
Mine by the Right of the white election!
Mine by the Royal seal!
Mine by the sign in the sCaRlet pRison
BaRs Cannot Conceal!
Mine, here in Vision and in Veto!
Mine, by the GRave's Repeal
Titled, confiRMed,-— deliRious chaRteR!
Mine, while the ages steal!
I made the markings above, to translate the poem into Polish. Everyone is individual in phonology; Polish and American English differ much in sound and structure, yet not being as distanced as American and Chinese, for example. Standard, human mouths are born the same, world round. There are "more difficult" and "easier" speech sounds, and you do not get some language patterns, as *spin spun span. In short, it is natural to mark the words, when you work phonemics.
Co KRaty go nie ujarzmią!
Mój, z poglądem tu i KontRą!
Mój, ponad uMieRanie
Tytułem, afiRMowany, — niepoMiaRkowaną KaRtą!
You can mark speech sounds within words, or write the words with big letters. If we click the Wikisource, we find there even is an overlap, in phonemic marking.
Most importantly, Emily Dickinson was aware of capitalization as in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, or the Bill of Rights.
The documents did not invent standards. They continue to show capitalization as part preserved also today. In the light, the markings and big letters belong with drafts of her pieces, not the final forms. Thomas Wentworth Higginson and Mabel Loomis Todd knew the draft features and ignored them with print. Well, we do not follow Jefferson's "rough draught" for the Declaration of Independence, either. ;)
Why I stay by Emily Dickinson's first print
We may fancy a look at a few more pieces. (Life, XXIII, Unreturning) ἀνάπλυσις, anaplusis, washing or rinsing out; ἀνήλυσις, anelusis, going up, return; ἤλυσις, elusis, step, gait; lenunculus, a small sailing-vessel, bark, skiff (the toddling little boat).
'T was such a little, little boat
That toddled down the bay!
'T was such a gallant, gallant sea
That beckoned it away!
'T was such a greedy, greedy wave
That licked it from the coast;
Nor ever guessed the stately sails
My little craft was lost!
We can compare the Greek -upo/ypo- for I asked no other thing (Life, XII, p. 213): ἰσότυπος, isotypos, shaped alike, συνυπόπτωσις, synypoptosis, simultaneous presentation to the senses; Latin cauponarius, a male shopkeeper, tradesman, ὑποπτερνίς, upopternis, a knob (a kind of a button that can twirl, in the modern use), and ὑπo, below, looking a picture up and down (as Brazil on a map).
I asked no other thing,
No other was denied.
I offered Being for it;
The mighty merchant smiled.
Brazil? He twirled a button,
Without a glance my way:
"But, madam, is there nothing else
That we can show to-day?"
You may be interested in the Uncouth love theme (the "suspicious" love of language) or the thematic stanza in Emily Dickinson's poetry, too. :)

Cafe - Councillor Tom Skipp
/ News
A NEW cafe for teenagers will open over the summer holidays on Canvey.
Castle Point Council has paid for the cafe near Waterside Leisure Centre, in Somnes Avenue.
It will be open for six hours every weekday during the summer holiday.
Bill Sharp, deputy leader and Tory councillor for St James' Ward, said: "It is great news. It has been used before, but now it will be beneficial for youngsters.
"The funding for this worthwhile scheme was put in place by the leader of the council and now those who use the skateboard or new football pitch can sit comfortably with their mates in their own cafe."
The cafe will be maintained by Benfleetbased skateboard club Legacy XS.
David Hillman, 71, a trustee at Legacy XS, said: "The council has funded us to run the cafe over the summer which is great.
"This means teenagers who use the skate park and other facilities can come in for a little something to drink and eat."

Is it possible to
push to an array reference in Perl? Googling has suggested I deference the array first, but this doesn't really work. It pushes to the deferenced array, not the referenced array.
For example,
my @a = ();
my $a_ref = [@a];
print $a[0];
@a will not be updated and this code will fail because the array is still empty
(I'm still learning Perl references, so this might be an incredibly simple question. Sorry if so)

Hétérogénéité sociale de déclaration de l'état de santé et mesure des inégalités de santé
This article explores the way in which the instrument for measuring health impacts the scope of social health inequalities by using structural equations with latent variables. A synthetic indicator of latent health is created from perceived health indicators, limitations of activity, chronic illnesses and mental health. The effect of these socio-demographic variables on latent health is then separated from its direct effect on each health indicator. This method highlights social differences in declaration by presuming that the contribution of socio-demographic characteristics in the explanation of latent health reveals determinants in state of health, while with the latent health factor, the direct effects of these characteristics on health indicators relect a heterogeneity in declaration. Thus, we show a social heterogeneity in declaration with latent health factors : women and the elderly, the highly educated and the upper classes declare chronic illnesses more often ; mental health problems appear over-declared by women and people living alone and under-declared by the elderly ; the unemployed, retirees and executives declare activity limitation more often. Finally, people with a lower level of education under-declare perceived ill health. Although the four indicators in this study can be faulted with heterogeneity in declaration, the chronic illness indicator is the one that most reduces the scope of social health inequalities.

I made a Shutterfly photo book of photos I've taken with WP7 phones running Mango in the last few months and made a photo book with some of my favorites. Some of them are artsy, some funny, some family, etc. Several of them were edited with apps (I like Pictures Lab and Bubblegum, myself).
Wow, those are some impressive photos - I'm impressed you took them with Windows Phone 7 devices! :-)
The hardware you use isn't for sure an HTC HD7.
Can you please tell me what phone do you have?
I also am trying Mango, and I love it. It's amazing!
But I have an HTC HD7 and the camera is very very bad. Almost every picture is unusable.

I read through the related questions and didn't find my answer. This isn't about
require_once or the use of the
__autoload function or even the name of the files.
My company builds large sites and as we've grown, the practice we've grown into is splitting up functions by their relation such as:
inc.functions-user.php inc.functions-media.php inc.functions-calendar.php
Each these files tends to be 1000 to 3000 lines of code. Combining would make them a monster to maintain and more difficult for more developers.
However, in some of our larger sites, we end of with somewhere between 8 and 15 of these individual functions files.
Is including the 15 functions files in the header the best way or should we find a way to combine them? Are 12 includes vs. 5 includes significantly detrimental to the running of our site?

NVidia has a homerun on its hands with the new GTX 680, however in the tablet arena they are still struggling to carve out a niche for themselves. Dozens of Android tablets are sporting the latest and greatest Tegra 3, however Apple claims to have them beat when it comes to graphics horsepower, and we've even heard rumblings that a lack of built in LTE could hamper future OEM adoption. That's not to say the Tegra 3 family isn't great lineup of SoCs, but the factors listed above could be the reason VR-Zone in China has caught wind on the specifications for Tegra 4, codename "Wayne". Marketing 101, if you don't like the discussion, change the subject.
The first Tegra 4 chip should arrive in Q1 2013 under the name "T40", and will be a 1.8GHz quad core part. Built in LTE support will arrive in Q3, along with 3 new parts with clock frequencies ranging from 1.2-2.0 GHz. All four SoCs will be based on the ARM Cortex-A15, and are being designed to suit both 7" and 10" tablets. Of course all of this is still unconfirmed by NVidia, and we won't know for sure until Computex in June.

"From this place, and from this day forth begins a new era in the history of the world, and you can all say that you were present at its birth," Goethe claimed to have told a group of Prussian soldiers after they were routed by France's revolutionary forces at Valmy on September 20, 1792, and his pronouncement duly features in David Bell's The First Total War. But Bell does not swoon, as plenty have, at the poet's clairvoyance. Instead he notes calmly that Goethe wrote his account of Valmy decades later and with some borrowing from the testimonials of others. Nevertheless, there was insight in Goethe's histrionics; in 1792 the London Times had reported, "The army marching from Paris exhibits a very motley group. There are almost as many women as men, many without arms, and very little provision." Here was "a people's war," with the new French Republic rising to defend itself any which way it could. Bell's book is an impressively steady, poetically unembellished, evocation of the nativity that awed Goethe.
Bell, the Andrew W. Mellon Professor in the Humanities at Johns Hopkins, sees that birth as monstrous: European total war from 1792 to 1815. From the outset he admits that the concept of total war "seems to get blurrier the closer you come to it." It is a concept more conventionally associated with the First or Second World War than with the French Revolution and its aftermath. Gen. Erich Ludendorff directed the German war effort in World War I and published his grim pamphlet Der Totale Krieg in 1935. Eight years later, Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's minister of propaganda, shrieked infamously at a crowd in the Berlin Sports Palace: "Do you want total war?" Attempts to define total war, in the abstract, in general or removed from context, are inevitably contentious. Bell settles on a reasonable working definition: "a war involving the complete mobilization of a society's resources to achieve the absolute destruction of an enemy, with all distinction erased between combatants and noncombatants." The extremity of this definition makes the full realization of total war improbable, now or in the past. Acknowledging this, Bell defends the concept in broader political and cultural terms, seeking to explain the emergence of new understandings of war behind the cataclysmic intensification of fighting from Valmy to Napoleon's fall in 1815.
He uses the oxymoronic notion of a "culture of war" to capture an aspect of French Revolutionary and Napoleonic studies relatively underexplored, but tantalizingly resonant with contemporary political predicaments on both sides of the Atlantic. He cites historian John Keegan's professional complaint that "not even the beginnings of an attempt have been made by military historians to plot the intellectual landmarks and boundaries of their own field of operations." Bell addresses this deficit by connecting military and cultural history for the period 1792-1815 through the history of ideas. But he is not writing exclusively, or even primarily, for fellow historians. The First Total War is a book for general readers with stomachs strong enough for history's grittier details. The fall of the Berlin wall in 1989 raised hopes for decades of lasting peace. Similar hopes attended the French Revolution in 1789. As we struggle to come to terms with our own generation's disappointment, it might prove instructive, if far from comforting, to look back two centuries at shattered hopes not our own. That, at least, is Bell's suggestion in this engaging, ambitious, intelligent book.
Blending the history of ideas with narrative history is not easy, particularly since thinkers and writers are typically far removed from the stage of history, where decisions on war and peace are made. Immanuel Kant, for example, lived almost all his life, as Bell tells us, "within the chill gray walls, streets, and skies of the Baltic Prussian city of Königsberg, where he taught philosophy uneventfully at the university." Bell's solution is largely to segregate thought from action. This is most apparent in an early chapter in which he expounds on Enlightenment theories of war and peace, painstakingly elaborated in the decades of the eighteenth century that led inexorably to revolution. Here the tangles of pacifist thought are patiently but economically and, on occasion, even amusingly, unraveled. François de Salignac de la Mothe Fénelon, an aristocrat and archbishop, was the author of the bestselling novel Telemachus, a sequel to Homer's Odyssey that "urged Christian pacifism on Christian rulers." First published in 1699, Telemachus went through more than a hundred editions in the next century, but "today, it is exasperatingly difficult to see why," Bell frankly admits. "Many chapters–even Telemachus's despairing search for his father amid the ghosts of Hades–consist of little but large helpings of unadulterated, virtually indigestible virtue, accompanied by verbose sermonizing and much shedding of pious tears."
