iOS 4.3 Now Allows Ringtone Purchases Direct to iPhone
Apple has a knack for releasing hidden and unannounced features in its iOS updates, which turns every iOS release (GM or beta) into an easter egg hunt. Good news, everyone, because easter eggs have been found in iOS 4.3's Gold Master that was released to developers a couple days ago. And this one is a doozy: iOS 4.3 has enabled ringtone purchases and downloads directly to the iPhone.
So far this feature has been found on an iPhone 4, but it's quite possible it has been enabled for the 3GS as well; we're just not completely sure.
On 4.3, to check out ringtones go to launch the Settings app, tap Sounds, tap Ringtone, and then tap Buy More Tones. Simple enough, right?
This certainly makes for a more convenient ringtone experience, though it's hard justifying the $1.29 purchase price on most ringtones, especially with many ringtone tools and apps out there that let you create them for free. The nice thing about the direct download on the iPhone is just not having to worry about taking extra steps and syncing your phone with iTunes in order to get those tones loaded in.
If you have the iOS 4.3 GM installed, please let us know if you find any other cool Easter Eggs inside. And if you get ringtone purchases enabled on a 3G or 3GS, we'd love to know as well!

Jane Yellowrock is a shapeshifting skinwalker you don't want to cross - especially if you're one of the undead....
For a vampire killer like Jane, having Leo Pellisier as a boss took some getting used to. But now, someone is out to take his place as Master Vampire of the city of New Orleans, and is not afraid to go through Jane to do it. After an attack that's tantamount to a war declaration, Leo knows his rival is both powerful and vicious, but Leo's not about to run scared. After all, he has Jane. But then, a plague strikes, one that takes down vampires and makes their masters easy prey.
Now, to uncover the identity of the vamp who wants Leo's territory, and to find the cause of the vamp-plague, Jane will have to go to extremes...and maybe even to war.

"Best of the series by far!"
Great story and great narration. I finished this book late at night and I was so hyped up I couldn't fall asleep. I wanted more. I have really enjoyed all the books in this series but I found this story more suspenseful. I loved it.
It is hard to compare this book to another I have read because of the main character's duel nature. The Alfa Omega series by Patricia Briggs, also a great series, has a bit of this with Charles and Brother Wolf. Charles is also influenced by his Native American heritage. While they are very different in many ways, if you like Mercy Thompson and/or Alfa Omega by Patricia Briggs I bet you will like Jane Yellowrock too, but I suggest starting with book one.
I think Ms. Hvam does a great job bringing Beast to life. I just don't think I would ever have fully understood the Jane/Beast relationship without her masterful narration.
There is always a chuckle or two in a Jane Yellowrock book but this one put a lump in my throat more that once. That surprised me.
I just hope Faith Hunter will write #6 fast, fast, fast!
I have been happily married for 17 years, I have 3 children (12, 14, & 16), and 2 dogs. I am currently working on a 2nd degree. Life is chaotic and stressful, but I wouldn't change it. I am blessed and enjoying my life.
I am waiting anxiously for book 6! I really like all the accents and all of the twists and turns of this book's journey. I enjoyed the humor and sarcasm of Jane and of Beast. I think Rick wimped out! And I can't wait to see what Beast is going to do with the Master of the city in the next book :)
"When can we expect the next Jane Yellowrock story"
I love the Narrator's accent and ability to sweep the listener along. She is pitch and expression perfect. She reads in exactly the way I feel I would read, so it doesn't ever feel as if I want her to slow down or hurry up.
Jane is my favourite character, she is very well rounded as a person, extremely capable but not over confident. it has also been possible to watch her grow as a person throughout the series.
Christine definitely brings the Southern character of the books to life, which will be clear to all listeners/readers now instead of just those who are already familiar with the american south.
Enjoy the ride!
when is the next book available
"Best so far"
I think this is the best Jane Yellowrock book yet. It's all around good writing, good characters and a good story. There's some foreshadowing without giving to much away, there's some missing pieces that come together, theirs beast being cunning and funny, and theirs little twists that aren't obvious. So many books have these little twists that you can "feel" coming a mile away, if that makes any sense. I enjoyed just getting caught up in this book. I love this series, and 5 books in am still enthralled. I can't say that for all the series I read.
5 stars is i love and i will read agani and again. 1 is i hate and i never want to hear about it ever again. YES = :))) - NO= :'(
"This Is WAR!!!"
This addition to the series was full of action, really full of it.. I have enjoyed it.. New fantastic characters get added to the series and interesting developments happened to many characters including Jane. .... especially Jane.
There is also the absence of some characters, which wasn't so bad.
Its ending was very good and ..... will you have to get there to know what happens.. but it was good.
Again the narrator did a great job as usual narrating the characters and giving life to them.. she is very talented.
"WOW! !I I did not expect that."
Fast, Fast, Fast.
The last two chapters.
The book comes to life. I can create the images in my head. Well written.
Better that Twilight.
Disciple of the written word and Audible fanatic. I am an Urban and Epic Fantasy Fan. I also enjoy some Paranormal Romance.
"This book sent me into peroxisomes of glee!"
Faith Hunter and Christine Hvam are a pairing made in audio heaven!
Jane and Beast never disappoint but in this book they also have some surprises. Jane learns some hard lessions and we get introduced to some very interesting new characters.
If I am not imagining things there is some foreshadowing going on in the beginning that may be relevant later. I love this series so much that it's one of the few I will listen to several times.
"Love Jane and Beast!!"
Just a good continuation of Jane's story!
She is strong and I love her transitions to and from Beast!
Not quite but close
Start from the beginning of the series and you will get hooked!
"More more"
Loved it love all her books. Sorry I have to wait for the next one to come out.
Liked her ceremony in the river...
Loved them all.
I would love to see jane in Wisconsin in the winter. Would make a great backdrop. Crisp white snow, big fat snowflakes falling from the sky on her beasts pelt and such.
Reviewing Romance & Urban Fantasy
"I want Jane to stake a certain vamp!"
I want Jane to stake a certain vamp! I don't know why she didn't and after the ending I don't think she will.
Jane has her hands full with a sickness that is attacking the vampires. And it seems to be man-made. She needs to fill out who is targeting the vamps and how to stop them. It appears it could be a mystery vamp that keeps chanellging masters vampires and winning. Leo sends Jane in as his enforcer to help and flesh out what's happening and who's behind it.
Jane is alone after loosing her best friend Molly. Jane was forced to kill Molly's sister in the last book, Raven Cursed, after she went bat-shit crazy and tried to take over the supe world. And apparently Jane and Rick broke up at the end of Raven Cursed. I was a little confused by that. I don't remember them making that choice. I don't know if it's because it's been a few months since I listened to Raven Cursed or I just completely missed it.
Jane is emotionally depressed by loosing two important people in her life and she's mourning those relationships. But there's still George aka Brusier and the two are just as hot for each other. Even when Jane shouldn't be hot for Brusier (see spoiler above).
There was events that happened in Death's Rival that had me thinking of early Anita Blake. NO NOT PORN ANITA. Jane is not that kind of girl. But the guys are lining up to be Jane's next beau. And the fact that Jane use to hunt vampires with one thing on her mind…. they are monsters and need to be taken out. Now she is working with Leo, the Master Vampire of the South much like Anita did with Jean-Claude and it seems like their working relationship has taken on a new level that Jane swore she would never cross.
I'm hoping with the addition of two new characters, the Younger brothers, Eli and Alex will help Jane keep some of her humanity and not go completely over to the dark side. Only time will tell. Speaking of Eli, I really liked him and I hope that their attraction will help Jane get over Brusier and Rick. It's time for Jane to pick one guy and a guy that will put her 1st like she deserves. But if Beast has her way, there will be many mates in her life. If Jane got busy was much as Beast wanted her to she would defintely be heading to being like Anita with the man harem. LOL
"Mixed feelings"
Jane Yellowrock returns in another action packed adventure. As always khristina Hvam does an excellent job as narrator givng an intense flavour to the characters and the setting but I am not so sure about parts of the plot. I miss Molly, Leo gets off the hook way too easily for his treatment of Jane and there's just too much angst in the last couple of books about jane's inner conflict over everything from religion, to love to friendship. But the series continues to hold my attention and throws in new characters like Jane's new crew who have the potential to shake things up in the next book maybe
"amazing book!!"
stayed awake until 5am to finish the book!so good! highly recommend this! ! Enjoy :)
"Love every min every second"
Brilliant over voice narrator, splendid as ever and "teeth tearing sharp " story can't stop listing , love the author and the books and most of all our Big Cat/Jane yellow rock and the two new guys to the private team xx
"Story's getting better"
This series just gets better and better and although I found the narrator a little difficult to get along with in book one she gets better as the series goes on.
"Loved it and delivery by narrator was excellent -"
Excellent series couldn't be better. Can't wait to start next one. Love interests keep you guessing....
"Death's Rival"
Exciting, breath taking
Jane/ Big cat, she constantly but her self on the line for others. even though she thought she was just a killer! She only killed them who were bad.
The passion she put into the book, and the voices she connected to each character it helped me. The narrator can make or break a book and she is amazing.
It made me cry, gasp, my heart raced and me wanting more.
Just down loaded last book and cant wait to start it.
"I can't believe she didn't see it coming.."
Now this might have spoilers be warned.
I love this series Jane is cool and has a skillset to be really envious of but really what did she expect working with vamps that she could get away with all her attitude and not have Leo do anything in return.? Also just get on bruiser already. Lol. I love how this author leaves you immediately wanting the next book! Please keep writing Jane and all the other characters for years to come!
"Faith Hunter does it again"
This is the fifth book in the Jane Yellowrock series and the series just keeps getting better. Right up until the last few minutes I am waiting for another twist and I wasnt disappointed! Ms Hunters characters are changing and evolving with everything that is going on, relationships change and new characters are introduced. The story line is gripping and there is a rollercoaster of emotion throughout this book. With the current trend in series of books rather than one offs, this series stands out - getting more exciting and involved as it progresses - cannot wait for the next one which is hopefully out in April.

According to a report on MCVita, it looks like the impressive popularity of Facebook as a casual gaming platform is starting to wither. New research from IHS Screen Digest Media now suggests that while 50% of Facebook users played games provided on the social networking platform in 2009 and 2010, that number has now dropped to 25%, or half of its previous amount.
The report cites the rise of the smartphone as one possible factor that is contributing to the sinking popularity of Facebook games. The casual audience, almost by definition, is a fickle one that moves from one fashionable trend to the next. In the same way that the audience for the Wii has dwindled and moved on, it looks like the same massive numbers that fueled Facebook game developement have similarly grown tired.

In a view that is diametrically opposed to President Obama's recent statements that marijuana is no more harmful than alcohol, researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital published new research in the Jan. 22, 201, edition of the journal Neuropsychopharmacology that indicates that adolescent exposure to tetrahydrocannabinol, the active component in marijuana, can produce genetic and behavioral changes in the next generation of offspring that have never been exposed to marijuana directly.
The researchers conducted their tests on adolescent rats that had never been exposed to marijuana. The test animal's parents had both been exposed to marijuana repeatedly at levels that are comparable to a human consuming one joint.
The scientists found that the adolescent rats that had never been exposed to marijuana had molecular changes in the most important excitatory pathway for neurotransmission in the brain. This physical alteration produced a higher level of habit formation, lower levels of goal-directed behavior, and higher levels of compulsive behavior.
This is the first experimental observation of the effects of using marijuana on offspring that have never been exposed to marijuana.
The researchers plan future studies to determine if the same effects can be seen in subsequent generations of rats that have never been exposed to marijuana.
Rats are used as test subjects because the chemistry of the rat brain is almost completely identical to that of humans.
One must ask oneself if the researchers are as politically or morally motivated in their findings as President Obama may have been in his recent speech.

The Mile High City is set to continue our unseasonably warm January on Tuesday. Colder temperatures and a decent chance for snow are set to stage a return however.
For today all of northeastern #Colorado will enjoy very mild temperatures. Highs in the #Denver area will be in the low 60s with mid to upper 50s on the eastern plains. Even the high country will be relatively mild with many locations seeing high temperatures in the 40s.
Dry conditions and mostly sunny to sunny skies will be seen across the area. There will be some gusty winds in the foothills and far eastern plains.
The weather picture changes quite a bit come Wednesday.
Tomorrow's high temperatures in town will top out right near the normal for the date of 44 degrees. That however is expected to occur during the earlier part of the day and then a cold front will push through dropping temperatures.
By the evening we may be seeing some light snow with chances increasing overnight Wednesday into early Thursday morning. Latest models are trending toward a bit more snow than originally thought. Current indications are toward 1 to 3 inches accumulation in the metro area with higher amounts in the foothills.
Snow will taper off gradually Thursday morning but the temperatures will remain cold with highs only in the mid to upper 20s.
We will rebound nicely for Friday and the weekend with a return to dry conditions and temperatures in the 50s.
Next Monday may bring another chance for snow.

Pineapple Cake
Author: Cookie Madness
Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 10 mins
Total time: 20 mins
Pineapple Cake Filling and Frosting
You choice of yellow or butter cake mix plus whatever is needed to make it
1 (20 oz) can crushed pineapple
4 ounces butter (1 stick) – regular salted type
5 oz can evaporated milk.
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 egg yolks, whisked together in a separate bowl
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 13x9 inch metal cake pan with cooking spray.
Drain crushed pineapple and reserve juice. You should get about 2/3 cup of juice.
Prepare cake as directed on box or use your favorite scratch recipe for yellow cake or pineapple cake. My grandmother used a box yellow cake, but instead of using water as directed, she used half pineapple juice/half water instead of all water.
Set a large (3 quart) nonstick (heavy, insulated types work best) saucepan over medium heat and add butter. When butter is about halfway melted, add evaporated milk and sugar. Continue cooking over medium heat, whisking often, until butter is completely melted and mixture is hot and just beginning to simmer around the edges.
Add the egg yolks and continue cooking over medium, whisking constantly, until mixture boils and thickens. Cook and whisk for a little over a minute, then remove from heat and let cool for about 5 minutes. Add vanilla extract and drained pineapple. Leave pineapple mixture at room temperature (still in pan) while cake continues to bake and cools.
When cake is cool, pour room-temperature pineapple mixture over cake. Place in refrigerator and chill until pineapple topping sets.

Walt Disney World ®'s Best Italian: Disney dining doesn't necessarily require park admission. Case in point: Portobello, a casual, comfortable eatery in Downtown Disney with an atmosphere as rustic as its parking is free. Choose from a selection of specialty pizzas from the restaurant's wood-fired oven or opt for seafood and meat dishes chicken pizzaiola, milk-braised pork shoulder or a grilled catch-of-the-day. Pastas include traditional offerings (penne Bolognese) as well as unexpected fare(black fettuccine with shrimp) Outdoor tables offer up shaded people-watching (where better than at Disney?) and views of both the expansive lake and the charming riverboat that serves as the venue for Fulton's Crab House.
Lunch, Take Out: At Portobello, located at Pleasure Island, you're sure to experience a good Italian meal. The casual interior recalls the Tuscan countryside, and a warm, rustic ambiance pervades. Choose from a selection of specialty wood-oven pizzas and sandwiches or opt for seafood and meat dishes like handcrafted luganella sausage with polenta, shallots, and cubanella peppers in a red wine sauce. Waterfront, outdoor dining is available. Diners coming just to the restaurant aren't required to pay the Pleasure Island entrance fee.

Al-Qaeda magazine reaching homegrown terrorists in US
(WXYZ) - It's a slick online magazine---with a dangerous message. Inspire, an English language read, is aimed at recruiting and training terrorists from within the US.
Dan Roberts was a high level agent with the FBI, and says, "Terrorism in general is the highest concern for the FBI."
So, this magazine has caused alarm. In fact, the latest issue, dated March 2014, not only teaches one how to make car bombs, but it lists some of the most vulnerable US cities and sites to carry out terrorism activities. Such as this August's US Open in New York.
Inspire reads like a high-gloss US publication. There is even a Q&A with a smiling Sheikh Anwar al-'Awlaki.
The former alleged talent recruiter for Al-Qaeda was actually killed in a drone attack in 2011. But was also linked to the attempt to blow up a jetliner over Detroit on Christmas back in 2009.
"Its surprising---but I shouldn't be surprised," said one Metro resident reacting to this latest attempt on our security.
They say, if the magazine wants to influence a younger demo, the enemies are doing it right.
"Its kind of an American way to do [it], cause that's what we are all about. Pull out our phone and look up anything we want."
The first issue of Inspire appeared in 2010. The Investigators learned, its editors over the years have changed. But its believed to be run by Al-Qaeda in Yemen.
Authorities say there isn't much they can do to stop how-too publications like this.
"You have free speech concerns," says Roberts.
But you can bet agents are closely monitoring the following it produces.
"They certainly are reaching people," says Roberts.
The biggest concern is the lone wolf, hell-bent on being a part of homegrown terrorism.
"Young men mostly, getting radicalized over the internet, who are based here locally," says Roberts.
Think the Boston Marathon bombers.
Adds Roberts, "One of the ways that happens, is through propaganda like Inspire magazine."

Love the shoe and I walk in them 7 days a week at around 3 miles per day. Trying to secure another pair asap! I'd like some other color choices but grey will do.
Best Uses
The 877s are comfortable to wear around the house. But that's about it. They lack support, especially in the rear, and lack adequate cushioning.

Lists aren't usually my thing, but for some reason, I am in a list-y mood, so I'd like to present my own pound for pound list, the tip top top ten in the game today. These are the best and brightest of pugilists, in my humble opinion.
1) Floyd Mayweather: Nobody, I mean nobody on the planet weighing between 140 and 160 pounds beats the Floyd Mayweather (44-0) we saw on May 4th against Robert Guerrero. Getting back with dad was just what the doctor ordered, and that exhalation I heard from the Showtime offices, I do believe, was the suits happy that the trader version of Floyd has been junked, and the mover is still able to do his thing, which is: 1) don't be hit and 2) hit. My pipe dream is still Mayweather and Andre Ward meet at 160 pounds, and Floyd goes into his first fight the underdog, but I know what you're thinking there: Woods, get yourself to rehab, stat, because you're clouded. Nobody currently in that 147-154 realm wins more than a couple rounds against this Floyd, at 36 still a top-tier athlete possessing some of the best ring generalship and ring smarts you will ever see, in any era, at any weight class.
2) Andre Ward: Too bad Ward (26-0) had wing woes, because I was real curious to see what he'd do next after giving Chad Dawson the business. I do hope the injury parade comes to a halt for the Californian, so we can enjoy an uninterrupted flow of pugilistic mastery from this ace technician. I think he's got command of his style to the point where he can safely and smartly unleash volleys without worrying too much, and I think moving forward those who have whined that Ward isn't enough fun offensively will be silenced. Anyone got the word on who he fights next, by the way?
3) Bernard Hopkins: OK, start the quibbling, crew. Maybe there are one, two or more guys who "deserve" to be higher on this list. But they ain't 48 frickin years old. Damn right, I give extra credit for longevity. The nullifying job he did against Tavoris Cloud sent word to naysayers that to bet against Hopkins, this era's top sage of the squared circle, and an under-appreciated genius in the whole of the sports world, is a fool's errand. He meets Karo Murat, a virtual unknown, next. I'd rather he try and show us all we're dopes, again, by signing on to fight Ward, but I hear that Hopkins (53-6-2) himself thinks that's too high a mountain to climb. I'd like to dose him with sodium pentathol to ascertain if that is indeed the case...Because I think he'd grab a chance to climb another Everest.
4) Guillermo Rigondeaux: Mea culpa. My bad, gang. I was holding out on Rigo, waiting to see what he did against Nonito Donaire before I boarded the train. Is there room left for a late-comer? The 12-0 Cuban is serious trouble for anyone in and around his weight class, and to those who say his chin disqualifies him from being this high on the P4P list, to that I say, he might go down every now and again, and get buzzed too much for your liking, but the kid gets up, and finishes strong. Yes, the manner in which he does it doesn't appeal to the masses as much as the purists, and I'd like to see him adjust his ratio of offense to defense a bit, but this 32-year-old is an ace, a top flight ace, and I don't see who beats him in the near future.
5) Nonito Donaire: Some folks saw it coming, what Rigo did to Nonito (31-2), but most of them are in the camp of Team Rigo. The Filipino-born Cali resident wasn't as sharp as we've seen, and it emerged after his bout that his right shoulder was badly damaged going in to the NYC scrap against the Cuban. No shame on losing to the greatest amateur of all time who showed himself to be a master of the game on the inside, the outside, and every side possible. I tend to think the 30-year-old Donaire was in fact a bit burnt, and needs a good long rest, and we will again see his immense skill set in full bloom. Oh, and yes, I'd like to see how he does against Rigo with his main weapon against the lefty, his right hand, in proper working order.
6) Wladimir Klitschko: Got to give mucho credit to a guy who hasn't lost since 2004. Yes, the era in which he fights in, absent him and his big bro, is pretty putrid. But the completely dominant way in which he does his thing demands that the 37-year-old Wlad (60-3) get lauded for what he is: a superb athlete whose focus is second to none in the sport.
7) Vitali Klitschko: We're still not sure if he'd lose to little bro Wladimir, and show the world that he's the better brother, and of course, we will never settle that question. But this 41-year-old is a pugilist specialist, even if he looks slightly ungainly doing his thing. Wlad has been the busier of the brothers, with political work detracting and distracting Vitali (45-2). We hope he gives David Haye the business before he hangs them up, and starts his Hall of Fame countdown.
8) Manny Pacquiao/Juan Manuel Marquez (tied): C'mon, these two are linked for the ages, what's the problem with having them tied for eighth. Marquez (55-6-1; turns 40 in August) was having his hands full before he dropped and stopped Manny (54-5-2; turns 35 in December), and we all recall how hard a time he had when he met Floyd, so that's why he isn't higher. Manny doesn't get booted from the top ten for the Bradley "loss" or being stopped by the 39-year-old Mexican legend, but he'll get the boot if Brandon Rios beats him. Course, if that happens he'd have to seriously consider retirement, so Woodsy's Pound For Pound List would be like, third or maybe fourth on his list of woes.
9) Sergio Martinez: This is a tough one for me. Perhaps I let a personal fondness for this class act influence me unduly. Or perhaps I am over-compensating for the fact that my personal fondness could be influencing me. That said, his late hiccup against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and his difficulty with non-superstar Martin Murray means Sergio (51-2-2) has something to prove in his next fight, and that his return to the P4P top five is by no means a given. He's 38, injuries have been pesky and we admit we hope he can rest up, heal up, and show us that he belongs up there with the Floyd and the Wards.
10) Mikey Garcia/Abner Mares (tied): Points, again, for not having lost. Mikey is 31-0 and could well end up a few notches higher on this list by the end of the year, though his next foe, Juan Manuel Lopez, is seen in many circles as damaged goods, so a win over JuanMa won't likely elevate Mikey that much, though the JuanMa name is a good one to have on the resume. Garcia is so solid, so composed, and I look forward to see him do his thing for many more years; he's only 25 years old, and there's room to blossom even more. As for Mares, again, being undefeated means something to me. Mares is 26-0, and has built up a solid resume against solid foes. He sent word that he isn't the mauling brawler who strafed Joseph Agbeko's groin every chance he could with his takeout of Ponce De Leon on the Mayweather-Guerrero undercard, and grew his buzz in a big way. Who would you like to see him fight next, if you are one who thinks No. 7 is too high for this 27-year-old, and you think we need more proof to give him such a lofty slot? Maybe he should be 10a and Mikey should be 10b? Discuss in the Forum.
Just Missed: Roman Gonzalez: Life ain't fair, this we know. If the light fly division were more high profile, this guy would be a bigger name, and would get more credit for being 34-0.; Timothy Bradley: You would not get an argument from me if you think Provodnikov deserved the W over Bradley, so Bradley's not in my top ten. Beat Marquez and he will vault.;Canelo Alvarez: He hasn't tasted loss, but the margin of victory over Austin Trout keeps him out of the top ten.; Lamont Peterson: He'll get top ten consideration, bigtime, with a great showing over Lucas Matthysse Saturday.; Adrien Broner: Get past Malignaggi, and we'll talk, Mr. HBO.; Danny Garcia: I'm sold on the Philly boxer, but I need him to beat a prime 140 pounder before he slides into top ten territory. Chris John: 48-0 friends. That deserves consideration. But until this man demands the best competition, I'm afraid he won't get the love and attention his record suggests it merits.
Follow Woods on Twitter, and offer up your own Top Ten Pound For Pound List.
better, I like Mikey Garcia up there or higher, Manny still belongs up in the top 5, Ward is good @ #2 , he has dominated all his opposition, Guerrero and Bradley off the Radar for good
Much better, I'd like to see Martinez a little higher though
Nice list. I can hang with this in a New York minute. Hehehe! Holla!
Good job with getting Hopkins on the top 10 somewhere(3 too high) good job with keeping canelo off of it. Whoever put Guerrero in top 10 ?
Umm, that would be David.
1) Floyd Mayweather
2) Andre Ward
3) W. Klitschko
4) B-Hop
5) Juan Manuel Marquez
6) G. Rigondeaux
7) Sergio Martinez
8) Pacquiao
9) Abner Mares
10) Chad Dawson/Tim Bradley
How can u put Mickey Garcia in the top 10 and not Canleo he beat Trout the best comp at 154 and Garcia beat a old washed up man come on Mike
No! Holla!
Better list. Similar to mine on the other thread.
No broner is not a top 10 even if he beats paulie.
No way Bradley is in top 10 either.
Bradley just lost 2 in a row. Hows he top 10?
Gift decisions do not count as wins in my mind.
1 Mayweather
2 Marquez
3 Rigondeaux
4 Ward
5 Donaire
6 Pacquaio
7 Broner
8 Froch
9 Hopkins
10 Mares
Martinez is fading fast and no longer top-10, ditto Cotto. Canelo squeaked by Trout and has much to prove. Marquez is currently the 2nd best in the game but that could change anytime at 40yo, Ward is good but if they were the same weight I'd pick the top 3 to beat him. Froch is criminally underrated, you pick up defeats if you fight the best. Vitali is/was far better than Wlad in my view but he's in semi-retirement. Wlad's size, strength and awkwardness count for jack p4p, a 147lb Wlad wouldn't be a threat to the top guys - too limited in what he does. Danny and Mikey Garcia, Kessler and Vitali just miss out. Apologies to the Oriental flys and bantams I don't know well enough to rate!
It could also be said that Hulkquez was getting his @ss destroyed by Da Manny until the juiced up on-roids-and-PEDs Hulkquez landed his newly discovered one-shot monster PUNCH! P4P selection is subjective. Good-opinionated job to all. I believe that Ward would box Hulkquez. Holla!
Gibola how can u put Rigo over Ward?
Good list gibola although ward should be #2 in my opinion.
Although I see your point as far as rigo being such a phenomenal boxer.
Radam kills me with his jmm rants.
They are justified tho.
Jmm juiced like a mofo
Also Hopkins should be up there an broner a no go.
Not yet. Doesn't have any key big wins.
U need elite wind. Broner had 0
When did JMM fail a PED test? Radam was all class after Pacman got blasted out saying all the right things. "Thats boxing, Da Manny just got caught" Now it's "Hulkquez" this and "Roids" that. Just accept the fact that your beloved Manny got beat and move on. Let me know if and when JMM gets caught or fails a test.
I haven't changed, the Roast! Da Manny got KTFO out by a skilled Marquez, who was juiced up on roids and PEDs for eye effect, not skills and wills. A spade is a spade. Marquez simply became Hulkquez. The bytch is just a user of dat syet. I've never waver from that. Holla!
BTW, 90 percent of the boxers are on da syet, have never been flagged. Money May was on dat syet to protect his hands except for his last dance with the Cali Ghost. And you have heard and saw da haps with Money May mits without dat syet in those hands. And those X roids are not even illegal in Nevada.
Money May simply knew that he would have no problems with the badly outclassed humbug. Holla!
Rigo beat one elite fighters and u put him over Ward on your p4p list it doesn't make any sense to me. Ward won the super middleweight tourney and he won it without taking a L. He beat Froch in the final a guy who is on alot of ppls p4p top 10 list and then to top it off he fights a another guy on the p4p list in Chad Dawson and stop him. So again I ask how in the fu©k can u put Rigo over Ward?
It is a subjective thing, SCLA Ali! And people post emotional syet. Apparently the dude doesn't dig SOG's game, just as TSS West Coast Chiefy David Double-A super digs the games of Bradley and Guerrero. Just as the Roast believes I'm blinded to Da Manny and bias against Hulkquez. It is obviously that the Roast is just full of emotions that he believes I waver on my stance about any fighters involving Da Manny.
Anybody can read my syet -- near 5,000 post -- and clearly see that I'm not a wishy-washy or bytchy-switchy. That jive is for a weak mind and sad behind. And all over the map, his arse you will find. No doubt, people just like to put me in a b-syet box. But I'm such a stay-with-my-guns fox.
I'm Money May and Da Manny 100-percent consistent. And won't favor them in a blind-arse way. It is all about the tricks of the trade and getting madly laid -- I mean righteously PAID! Holla!
Where's Froch?
"Rigo beat one elite fighters and u put him over Ward on your p4p list it doesn't make any sense to me. Ward won the super middleweight tourney and he won it without taking a L. He beat Froch in the final a guy who is on alot of ppls p4p top 10 list and then to top it off he fights a another guy on the p4p list in Chad Dawson and stop him. So again I ask how in the fu©k can u put Rigo over Ward?"
Sorry for not replying Ali - been away. Rigo over Ward simply because this is p4p and if they both weighed 122 or 168 I think Rigo would win. Ward has done some impressive things but I'm sure that Kessler, Dawson and Froch wouldn't lay a glove on a 168lb Rigo. I could be wrong but that's part of the fun. Records obviously matter but p4p is about who would beat who if they were the same weight and as I said the top 3 would (in my view) beat Ward. We'll never know and that's the fun. Thanks to all the posters on TSS.
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

Dec. 14, 2012
COACH BLUDER: Well, it's been a big week for us, because it's been finals week, and that really is important for our players. We took some time off for them to study and to really focus on the finals and concentrate on doing well academically.
I don't think anybody is in jeopardy there, but we certainly want them to close out the semester in really fine fashion. That's been a No. 1 priority. No. 2 priority is to get ready for Drake. We want to wrap up the state championship. That was one of our goals at the beginning of the year to be the champions of the state and we are sitting one game away from that.
So this game against Drake is important. It's the only road game of the series. We haven't fared so well on the road, so this is going to be a real test for us to go over to Drake and play in an environment that's given us some problems in the past.
We have won over there, but it's been close games, the Knapp Center is pretty difficult to go in there because it's such tight quarters and people are right on top of you, kind of like when you play up at UNI.
So it's a little bit louder, unfamiliar for us to go into an environment like that, and we also have all of the emotional aspect of playing Drake, which there's a lot of that. And you think, okay, come on, after so many years, it's got to still be there, so it all kind of reenergized itself with Jennie Lillis going over there as the head coach.
Obviously none of the players that we coached or recruited are still there, that's not long gone, but you still go over there and see the same fans, the boosters, the court. We opened up the Knapp Center ten years ago I'm sorry, in '92.
So 20 years ago, we opened that place up. Jan Jensen's jersey is hanging from the rafters. So there are constant reminders when you go over there of being a part of that program. And now, you add that Jennie Lillis is sitting in my old office, it's kind of a strange feeling.
Jennie was a great Hawkeye, but she's going to put everything aside of being a Hawkeye and prepare for this game. I know that her players will have that emotional boost to try to do well for her, and so it's going to be a very tough game going over there, and we need our players' full focus so that we can wrap up the state title.
Q. How much longer will Claire be out?
COACH BLUDER: Don't know. She will not be suiting up for this game or the Missouri state game. So hopefully after Christmas and hopefully, maybe by Big Ten play, we can get her back in uniform.
Q. The history with Jan, Jennie, are the players aware of that, or is that something you need to tell them, hey, this is why this game is a little more emotional for me and also for the other sideline?
COACH BLUDER: I think you always have to inform your players so that they are not caught off guard but the minute they walk in the gym and see Jan's jersey hanging, that will be a pretty blue flag, in their case, that it's a big game for a lot of people. And they know Jennie Lillis and the history of her being a great Hawkeye. Definitely we will remind them of all those things going into this game.
Q. Did you talk to Jennie before she got the job or since?
COACH BLUDER: I talked to her both, before and since, before she took the job we had conversations, and then afterwards, I've seen her out recruiting. But we have not really talked in the last couple of months. I sent her a text before her first game wishing her luck, but we have not spoken since the season has gotten started.
Q. One of the big things she said, you've been a good mentor for her, mixing up coaching and other aspects she said that's one thing she's kind of come to you about.
COACH BLUDER: I hope that I've had some influence on Jennie. You know, when you coach somebody for our years, you always hope that that's part of being a coach; that you are able to instill in them not only some good memories of wins, but also how they are going to conduct themselves the rest of their life. That's a really important aspect, and it makes me feel good when Jennie says that that's been a part of who she is right now.
But yeah, definitely both of us having kids and being in this profession and sharing the same office and you know, we have some similar paths that we have walked down.
Q. Why do you think the team has had so many struggles away from Carver this season?
COACH BLUDER: We've only had two opportunities and we've failed in both of those opportunities. Now, playing at Florida State, Florida State is a good team but the FIU game was definitely one that we feel like we should have won. It's a road game we feel like we should have won. That hopefully will help get their attention for this game.
I think sometimes you have to bring up a little bit of bad history to get their focus, and I think all of the things going into the Drake game. Plus the fact that we have not won a road game; we can get that monkey off our back before the Big Ten season begins, I think is really important.
Q. Talk about Melissa coming off the bench
COACH BLUDER: I think that when Melissa comes off the bench, she adds a great spark. First of all, obviously the three point shooting, but also, she works hard on defense, and she cuts hard in our offense. So when she comes off the bench, it's like those fresh legs. She would be a starter for a lot of other teams around the country, there's no doubt, and she has been for us.
Q. What do you know about Kali and what she's able to do with her ball spinning tricks?
COACH BLUDER: Well, Kali has been doing that since she's a little girl. On her recruiting trips here she would try to show my daughter some of the tricks and she would be in the office she would be trying to spin balls and help her with it. That's been a something that her whole family has done.
Now her two younger sisters are part of the Alexandria Aces, a group from Minnesota that goes all over the country, participates in halftime shows at NBA games, major college events, has performed here at the University of Iowa.
And so it's pretty neat that she's had that experience, and I think you would assume that nothing could rattle her after you've performed at halftime in front of NBA arenas, what could rattle you? It's just great experience for her to have that. Not that she's going to walk down the court with a 12 foot pole spinning the ball during one of our games, but she certainly has had the experience of being around competitive atmospheres and having to put on a show, having to compete.
Q. Do you see her maybe trying to teach that to any of the other girls or showing off in practice or anything like that?
COACH BLUDER: You know they mess around with it a little bit but it's not something that I've seen a lot of. During our practices, there's not a lot of time for that. So I'm sure they did a lot of that when they are kind of in the gym by themselves.
Q. No Iowa State hangover left?
COACH BLUDER: I actually let the players celebrate that Iowa State game a little longer. Usually I'm like, okay, back to practice the next day, that's over, let's move on to the next one.
When we had practice on Friday morning and I told them, you know something, let's not put this one away yet. Let's enjoy this one a little longer. In fact, you get Friday and Saturday to enjoy this one, and Sunday when we come back for practice, let's come back to getting ready for the next game. We let them enjoy that one a little bit longer but certainly the focus has been finals, this week, and then Drake, and, yeah, Iowa State is kind of over.
But without the Iowa State win, we would not be talking about the state championship. So it's still there, and it will be. I mean, that's a good win for us, and we are going to use it, definitely with recruiting, with fan support and all those things, we want to embrace that and use it as much as we can.
Q. How do finals enter into your practice schedule? Are you able to have everybody there at the same time?
COACH BLUDER: Yeah, we really had everybody at practices all the time. We just had to we took Monday and Tuesday off because that was just the brunt of their exams happening during that time but then we have been able to just move our practices around at different times so it's not at the same time every day. We had maybe somebody leave a little early but nothing major. We have had everybody at every practice.
Q. How about Bethany, her confidence level? She came in over the summer and just dominated the league, has it carried over for her?
COACH BLUDER: She didn't shoot the ball well against Iowa State, but Bethany has kind of been up and down and we need to get her consistent, because she's got a great 15 foot shot. And sometimes she's on, it's unbelievable. And there's other times like the Iowa State game where she really struggled with her shooting. So we need to get her on a consistent I think we are going to be a really good basketball team once she's at that consistent level game in, game out.
Q. You talked about finals week. What about now when what all of the players have to do is concentrate on basketball
COACH BLUDER: To me, this is one of my favorite times of the year, and we still have finals today, so we have practice and we still have some finals after practice today.
But in my opinion, with the time that you have over the holiday break with your players and they don't have school and they just have basketball to concentrate on, I think sometimes that's when those freshmen can catch up. They can catch up to the other group now that they understand what playing Division I basketball is all about.
But you can spend a little bit more time in the gym. You can work on some things; add some little wrinkles to your offenses and defenses. But you can also have some time to work on special situations and things that kind of get pushed to the side when you're really rushing in limited time during practice when they are in class.
But now they don't have classes, they don't have the stress of exams; they can just focus on basketball. To me it's the most enjoyable time of the year it sounds like a jingle, doesn't it? For a basketball player, because all you do is play basketball, eat and sleep and enjoy the company of your teammates. And so to me, it's the best time of the year for a basketball player.
Q. Is Nicole close to being 100 percent?
COACH BLUDER: Nicole is 100 percent healthy. We just need to get her to become a little bit better basketball player right now and I keep talking to her about, this has been a great opportunity, you're learning from one of the best in the country and you need to embrace that. We are still trying to get her to really learn from Morgan's example and model that behavior.
Q. You said Jennie was a great Hawkeye; can you expand on that a little bit? What did she do well to make herself a great player, and do you see that same type of mentality as a coach in her?
COACH BLUDER: What made her a great player is what is going to make her a great coach, because what made her a great player you look at Jennie, she was a little under sized to play her position, both in height and in strength. But she made up for it through her passion. She made up for it through hard work and the competitive fire that she brought to the game every single day on the court in practice and in every single game.
And that is exactly what's going to make her a great coach is she works hard, she loves the game, and she's passionate about what she does as far as being a coach and a mentor. And, she has an unbelievable competitive fire. She's one of the most competitive kids that I've coached, and that will make her just I think a very successful coach.
So it wasn't always her skills that made her a great player. It was those intangibles and that's what is really nice for her now because those skills won't do anything for her as a basketball coach, but those intangibles that she had are what's going to make her a great coach.

Through May 23rd, Hoarding, Amassing, and Excess is on view at the Northern Illinois University Art Museum in DeKalb, Illinois. The exhibition brings together the work of 17 artists who, according to the Gallery Notes, '… practice or explore compulsive accumulation / organizing, excessive mark making or berserk collecting.' Thus the exhibition explores themes of hoarding as therapy, loss compensation, compulsion, psychological and sociological exploration, methodical and obsessive making, cataloging, and archiving, and the inability to let go. With such broad topic parameters and the large number of artists included, the exhibition is inevitably somewhat uneven but several artists clearly deserve a closer look.
Guy Loraine's work in the exhibition is by far the most structured and obsessively methodical. His large mixed media installation titled Fuller & Grand is the visualization of a 3-year project (2009-11) to painstakingly collect and record the exact location of every cap and acorn dropped by a single oak tree. The artist devised a rational system for mapping, numbering, collecting, cataloging, documenting, and storing of the acorns based on a 66 square foot grid made up of two foot squares made of Mylar and encompassing the oak tree's circular drip line. Loraine made simple notation of found caps and acorns on these sheets using circles and numbers. In the studio, Loraine translated these notes into graphite drawings showing all caps and acorns found in the quadrant. The gallery installation abstracts this circular drip line by placing a sampling of the sheets on the gallery wall in rectangular format. The table in front has Loraine's ledger books, allowing visitors to explore his entries, and the large open boxes contain collected acorns and caps in numbered bags, as well as the Mylar sheets with simple notations recording numbers of caps and acorns. Loraine works in Des Moines, Iowa.
Jaclyn Mednicov's Life Map tells a deeply personal tale with the artist using her father's hoard as the building blocks of the installation as a way for her to come to terms with his years of obsessive collecting. She rips, cuts, and stitches scraps of textile and paperwork into large compositions, the largest component in her installation made of hundreds of stitched together pizza coupons. Mednicov is a Chicago based artist.
Gary John Gresl's Palimpsests & Middens is a site specific installation in which Gresl creates a space for nostalgic contemplation triggered by seeing objects that clearly have lived a rich past of practical use, as well as faded printed materials. The objects he chose to include; animal skulls, arrows, guns, farm implements, pin-up posters and calendars, … are suggestive of a rustic and rugged rural man cave. As the visitor engages this work by physically entering the installation, one is fully surrounded by objects and is invited to create personal narratives, thus forging new "realities."

Bush War Memories
NRM BUSH WAR MEMORIES: Suspected to be Obote spy - Mugusha Muntu
Posted Monday, February 9 2004 at 11:43
I had been carrying an RPG for the late Lumumba and I had just handed it back to him. We entered the ambush and they started firing. I think the RPG that Lumumba had saved those of us who survived that day. We suffered several casualties. I think we had four or five dead.
I was wounded. My gun was shot and it stopped operating. Its metal hit me in the left leg and came out from behind but fortunately it did not break my bone. And then I was shot in the chest. But the ambush had been fought off and dispersed; otherwise, I think I would be history.
We collected our colleagues who were dead and put them somewhere in a ditch, got the guns and started moving back. I had lost a lot of blood; I was very weak. I was feeling totally exhausted.
I remember one of the commanders – I think it was Lumumba – came and told me: "Muntu hang on". And I think that made me … Anyway, I think it was by the grace of God that I managed to make it.
Had I lost consciousness, that would have been it. Because we knew that you could not tie down the troops. That was agreeable to everyone. Fortunately, we reached a point and they got a bicycle, sat me on the career and kept pushing.
We arrived at Mondrane very early in the morning and we were there for two days when they were still trying to make contact to bring me to Kampala.
I was brought through Kawempe to Kisekka Hospital where Dr. Namara treated me for one month. When I had healed, I went back to Matugga. Later, I served as an intelligence officer, director of civil intelligence and director of military intelligence.
Most scary moment
The most fearful moments for me were out of the bush. Like there was a time I was coming through Kampala in 1983. I had been sent from the bush on a mission in Nairobi.
I came here to Kampala with Brigadier [Matayo] Kyaligonza to have an identity card made. We made contact with the chief of the fire brigade and then went back to Nansana, which was the operational base.
Once I got the identity card, I came back to Kampala, slept in Kasubi, and then they organised for me to go through the border. Those to me were the most scary moments, walking through Kampala and then on the way back, coming through the border. The feeling is that you are exposed; you are not armed; you could be captured. You are like a sitting duck, totally defenceless. And you know that the moment you are arrested – the torture!
In the bush it was different because you were armed. If you are involved in fighting, either you are shot and you die, or you fight and you survive.
What kept me going
I knew the struggle would succeed. There is a friend of mine who says that I am an eternal optimist, and I am. That kept me hopeful.
Secondly, I could see the successes even at a small level – the ambushes; attacking government units; increasing the number of guns; the enthusiasm of the new recruits; the way the population was so committed by hiding us and not leaking any information to the enemy. Some of us believed that we would grow as the government army's strength diminished.

Nokia announces Lumia 1520 and Lumia 1320 6-inch phablets, Lumia 2520 Windows RT tablet
Nokia has held its highly anticipated event in Abu Dhabi earlier today, and on the Lumia side three new devices have been unveiled. They are two phablets (the Lumia 1520 and Lumia 1320) and one tablet (the Lumia 2520). All of these have been leaked and rumored recently (some more than others, though), so their introduction isn't really a surprise.
Still, this counts as a big day for the Windows Phone ecosystem, since Microsoft's new mobile operating system is powering its first ever phablets. This is enabled by the GDR3 update to Windows Phone 8, which allows for the use of big touchscreens with Full HD 1080p resolution and quad-core processors such as the Snapdragon 800 that's currently the king of the Android world.
So let's take them one by one. The Lumia 1520 is Nokia's new flagship offering. It comes with a 6-inch 1080p Full HD touchscreen with high brightness, sunlight legibility, super sensitive touch, and Gorilla Glass 2, a 20 MP Zeiss PureView rear camera with optical image stabilization, oversampling tech, dual LED flash, and 1080p Full HD video recording, a 1.2 MP front camera, a 2.2 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, 2 GB of RAM, 32 GB of internal storage, microSD card support, LTE, HSPA, Wi-Fi 802.11 ac, NFC, GPS, Bluetooth 4.0, and a 3,400 mAh non-removable battery with wireless charging support built-in. Its dimensions are 162.8×85.4×8.7 mm, and it weighs 209 grams.
The Nokia Lumia 1520 will go on sale before the end of this year in Hong Kong, Singapore, the United States, China, Finland, France, Germany, and the UK. It's going to be priced at $749 before taxes and subsidies. As usual with Nokia's Lumia lineup, this will be one colorful smartphone, offered in white, black, red, and yellow. In the US, it will be exclusive to AT&T.
The Lumia 1320 keeps the 6-inch screen and thus the phablet categorization, but is aimed at more price-conscious buyers. As such, it's both cheap and underpowered compared to the 1520, but that's to be expected. This will be Nokia's next big push into the 'emerging markets', undoubtedly.
It has a 6-inch 720p super sensitive touchscreen with Gorilla Glass 3, a 5 MP camera with LED flash, a VGA front camera, a 1.7 GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor, 1 GB of RAM, 8 GB of internal storage, microSD card support, LTE, HSPA, Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi 802.11n, and a 3,400 mAh battery. Its dimensions are 164.25×85.9×9.79 mm, and it weighs 220 grams.
The Nokia Lumia 1320 is priced at $339 before taxes and subsidies. It will be available in orange, black, white, and yellow first in China and Vietnam in early 2014, followed by other markets in Asia and Europe. It looks like it won't make it to the US.
This will clearly be one of Nokia's best sellers next year, since it has decent specs for a good price – and the phablet market keeps on growing and growing, especially in Asia. It's too bad that we have to wait until 2014 to see it in stores (once again Nokia announces things way before availability, unfortunately).
Finally we have the Lumia 2520, Nokia's first ever tablet. It runs Windows 8.1 RT, and whether it will help this version of Microsoft's OS gain some traction is very much up for debate. But, it finally happened – we now have a Nokia tablet.
It looks as good as the company's recent smartphones, and it comes with a 10.1-inch 1080p Full HD touchscreen with Gorilla Glass 2, a 2.2 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, 2 GB of RAM, 32 GB of built-in storage, microSD card support, LTE, NFC, GPS, Wi-Fi 802.11n, Bluetooth 4.0, a 6.7 MP Zeiss rear camera, a 2 MP front camera, and an 8,000 mAh battery. Its dimensions are 267x168x8.9 mm, and it weighs 615 grams.
The tablet is going to be out in cyan, red, white, and black first in the US, UK, and Finland (though an exact time frame isn't mentioned). It will cost $499 before taxes and subsidies. It will obviously be spreading to other markets at some point.

WILTON, Conn. — Has anyone in your household ever worn a pair of socks more than once before washing them, or gone more than a month without changing their bed sheets? A national survey by Wisk® detergent reveals that four out of five people admitted to at least one dirty laundry secret.
Top common laundry behaviors included:
- Going more than a month without changing bed sheets; in fact, only half of consumers wash their sheets once a week
- Taking dirty items out of the laundry basket to wear, with more women than men admitting to this activity
- Nearly one in three women admit to wearing the same bra for several days in a row, while close to one in three men admit to having worn the same socks or underwear for several days
Most people claim that they "just know" when an item needs to be washed—but what they may not know is that the average wash load contains 20 times more body oils and sweat than visible stains, Wisk says. It offers a new "Deep Clean" laundry detergent that seeks out and attacks trapped body oils and sweat.
"Our Wisk survey resulted in findings that would gross out most people, especially when you consider what the build-up of trapped body oils and sweat could be without regular washing," says Bridgette Miller, senior brand manager for Wisk.
The survey was conducted online during a one-week period in April and included a national probability sample of 1,000 U.S. adults (500 women and 500 men) ages 18-64.

For the better part of 38 years, head coach Jim Gilligan has been the face of the Lamar University Baseball. The skipper has been around and influenced the program since his playing days back in 1967, but Gilligan has announced his plans to retire at the conclusion of the 2016 season.
The Marauders are 2015 Omaha Slumpbuster Triple Crown Sports Division II Champions.
It was tight, but a cast of characters led the Lamar baseball team to a 7-6 win over New Mexico State in the 2015 season opener on Friday, Feb. 6, at Vincent-Beck Stadium, and more importantly, led Cardinal skipper Jim Gilligan to his 1,300th career win.
There is no doubt that there are still countless users of the obsolescent Windows XP, which is no longer supported by Microsoft. The successor to windows XP was Windows Vista, which was enormously unpopular with its users. Windows 7, with its several iterations, had some successes in the market place, effectively displacing Vista, but not winning over many of the huge base of XP users, except when the users purchased newer computers.

I've heard this time and again - why do I need a resume and how do I write them? As long as organizations use their own applicant tracking systems (ATS) you are required to have a resume. It is your marketing tool to finding your next job. The recruitment industry is experiencing a time of change.
Social media and social networking are changing the face of the recruitment industry. Within this article I outline key tips, what to do and what not to do. Keep in mind this is based on my work with my clients. This is an area where even I still learn continuously. There are numerous articles on how to write a resume, and I am one of those articles. I base my work on one principal – simple, concise and clean. Thanks for reading!
• Use proper capitalization with your name
• Use only one phone number
• Use a professional email
• Insert your LinkedIn Profile
• Indicate your city of residence
• Use equal margins in your page set-up
• Upload MS Word Version if you are given a choice in the type of file to upload
• Write in your full address – your city shows your proximity.
• Rely on MS Word for spell/grammar check - print it out, read and ask for feedback.
• Use italics or bold – it makes no difference in an online database or to the reader.
• Use lines, borders or any fancy formatting – text only.
• Use headers or footers – it blocks out text from a system scanning for keywords.
Key Tips:
- Use 13 or 14 point max for all section headers.
- Use 11 or 12 point for all section details and in Arial font.
- Center all section headers so they stand out.
- Do not manipulate margins to the point where your word processing skills become questionable.
- The one page rule is based on the number of years of experience, do not undersell yourself. I just received feedback on my own resume and this was included in my feedback.

Lisa Van Goor
- CU's Career Scoring Leader (2,067)
Lisa Van Goor was the first, and only, player in Colorado history to score 2,000 points and grab 1,000 rebounds in a career -- men's or women's -- and accomplished the rare feat of averaging a double-double for her career (18.0 points and 10.0 rebounds). The 6-foot-4 native of Yankton, S.D., helped lead CU into the Big Eight Conference in the early 1980's, as the AIAW was absorbed by the NCAA, paving the way for major conference's to sponsor championships in women's basketball. Van Goor was a finalist for the NCAA Player of the Year Award in each of her last three seasons, and was a Kodak All-District selection in 1981 and 1982. She earned first-team All-Big Eight honors in the inaugural 1983 season, and remains CU's all-time leading scorer and rebounder. She currently is CU's Special Events Coordinator and has been active with CU Athletics since returning to Colorado after playing several years of professional ball in Europe.

University responds to national tragedy
From candlelight vigils to donation drives to anti-violence forums and a reflection concert, The University of Texas at Austin community united to show concern for our nation and provide assistance in the wake of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11.
New York Texas Exes reached out to all university alumni in the area, requesting donations of blood, supplies and money. On the university campus, the Student Government began a campaign promoting UT Austin as a safe place, free from violence and discrimination. A Party on the Plaza student event was modified to focus on helping others. Proceeds raised were directed to the Hearts of Texas Rescue Team, which provided support to those directly affected by the tragedy.
University's innovative "artsreach" program builds new audiences for art, music in remote areas of state
A program where fine arts students take their creativity back into their Texas hometowns has been initiated by The University of Texas at Austin to build new audiences for art and music in remote areas of the state and to foster better relationships between artists and their constituencies.
The new "artsreach" program will allow students to establish residencies in their home communities and present overviews of their work. The selected students will come from non-urban areas of Texas and will be chosen from each of the fine arts academic units art, art history, music, theater and dance. The University Co-op is providing the initial funding for the project.
"We want this program to have as wide a community impact as possible," said Dr. Robert Freeman, dean of the College of Fine Arts. "Students will work with local schools and school children, arts organizations, chamber of commerce associations and churches to develop new audiences for art and demonstrate the benefits and results of a fine arts education at the university.
"We must always remember that the arts aren't just for the people who are doing them or for the weathy but for everyone," said Freeman. "The country is doing a good job supplying the art and the artists, but needs to work on developing audiences."

Enrollment at The University of Texas at Austin reached a record-setting total of 50,613 this fall, primarily because of increases in the retention of undergraduate students.
This years enrollment represents a .7 percent increase over the previous record enrollment of 50,245, set in fall 1989. Fall enrollment last year was 49,996. Based on preliminary enrollment figures, The University of Texas at Austin is the largest single-campus institution in the nation.
This falls enrollment includes 38,615 undergraduate, 10,561 graduate and 1,437 law students.
Because of the increased retention rates, undergraduate continuing student counts grew from 27,148 in fall 2000 to 27,850 this fall. There also were increases in undergraduate returning former students (from 1,230 in fall 2000 to 1,352 this fall), and graduate continuing students (from 7,142 to 7,327). As anticipated, there were declines in the number of first-time freshmen (down by 349 to 7,337) and transfer students (down by 22 to 2,076).
These decreases were in accordance with enrollment management policies.
"We are making good progress in our goal of retaining undergraduate students at increasing rates," said Larry R. Faulkner, president of The University of Texas at Austin. "The first year retention rate for the 2000 freshman class is 92 percent, a significant improvement over last falls retention rate of 90.3 percent.
Address on the State of the University, by Larry R. Faulkner, President
It is not possible to open an address on the state of the University now without reference to the terror perpetrated against us all on Sept. 11. Make no mistake: These were not acts against New York and Washington, or even against America. They were blows hard blows indeed against what it means to be human.

Twitters recent popularity boost has assisted their growth to form the second largest social media site available. You can reach anyone in the world but you first need followers to expand your reach. One of the best ways to start is by getting twitter followers without following back. This way your feed is not completely filled with junk tweets you don't care about. There are many other similar ways to achieve the same outcome so let me name a few.
Getting popular in the social media storm today has became increasingly difficult. Why is it that so few users really get this sudden rise in popularity? If you take a closer look, you will notice their popularity is tied to the reputation and status of the people behind the account that make it all work. The consistent work, day in and day out without a break. The right promotion and push from famous individuals can give you the boost you so desperately need.
Frequently mention your top idols or people that inspire you. Enter their conversations and offer you opinion. Take a couple minutes and find celebs who engage with their audience. If you can manage to get mentioned by one of these people it may create a snowball effect leading to your end goal.
Another popular way to get more followers for free can be simple as clicking the follow button on your favorite list and sending them a direct message asking them to follow you back. This method can be effective but is not on the top of the list. Another popular strategy among users is the use of third party websites. They will let you sign up using your existing twitter account and will follow people for you. They can get your account suspended so use it at your own risk. make sure to read the terms of service before agreeing to anything.
Get Followers Without Following Back
Getting Twitter Followers without following back can be hard to do as it brings great benefits to you. As you build a reputation it will become easier to grow. The beginning is a hard fought battle but this kind of growth is worth every second.
People are looking for updates from those who know about topics they are interested in. If you can supply what they need it increases the chance of them contacting you.. Ask people who share your topics to mention you in tweets they post and create a list with you at the top of it. Connect an RSS feed to your account from your favorite websites that your audience is also interested in. this will take the load off your fingers and make you tweets more consistent.
When you develop a good relationship with someone consider a follow back. As you come across others who tweet about a similar subject just select a few, then send a Direct Message (DM) and introduce yourself to them. Create a steady flow of communication between everyone who you have chosen and are continually following you. When they @Mention your username take the time to respond because they took the time to send it.
Ways to get active with users:
- If you have something in common mention their username
- After you make contact you should follow (if interested)
- Introduce yourself with a Direct Message
- Respond to every mention received.
- Request everyone to add you to their twitter lists.
- If you have a relationship make sure to follow back
Websites To Help get you Followers
- Tweet Adder – Automate and Manage UNLMITED Twitter Accounts.
- AddMeFast – Register and start getting followers now.
- Twitclub – Join the Club, Follow who you wish, get followers in return.
- Twiends – Use the website, earn credits, get followed in return.

Is there any way to allow non-Administrator users to install, upgrade or uninstall an Adobe AIR application on Windows?
I've made an Adobe AIR application and packaged it as a
.air package using the standard AIR mechanism for creating deployment packages. If a normal or Power user tries to install this AIR application, the Application Event Log shows an error saying administrative rights are required. And even if the user elevates during installation, administrative rights are still required for an upgrade using the automated AIR upgrade system (since an upgrade is essentially, behind the scenes, an uninstallation of a
.msi package followed by an installation of another
.msi package).
Is there any way around this?
What I've tried so far is:
- Using the Group Policy editor, setting Windows Installer to elevate during installations. Doesn't work, since AIR attempts a "for all users" installation.
- Specifying My Documents as the installation directory. Doesn't work, since AIR attempts a "for all users" installation.
- Giving the user Modify access to the Program Files folder where the application would usually reside. Doesn't work, since this isn't a file permissions issue.
- Making the user a Power User. Doesn't work, since AIR attempts a "for all users" installation.
I'm guessing that both installing and upgrading would work fine for a user if
- the AIR installer would attempt to make an "only for me" application installation instead of a "for all users" installation, and
- the user was a Power User, and possibly
- the application was installed to My Documents
I'm also guessing that this problem doesn't exist on OSX and Linux, since they have more intuitive concepts for per-user application installations.
