We had a wonderful stay at Galery Lodge (Unfortunately we spent only one night due to prior plan). We had 2 spacious rooms for a family of 4 members and also enjoyed a big dining room and balcony. From the moment we arrived Dot & Bob made our stay wonderful and pleasant and did their best to let us feel as if we are at home. This beautiful place is located right on the Kasilof river and the view seen from the lodge together with the quiet makes the staying here pastoreal. We enjoyed the fully equipped fridge that was beyond our expectaions. We highly recommend Galery Lodge and for sure stay there next time. Tali & Doron

We stayed in the Riverview House, two couples, each couple had a bedroom. We were right on the Kasilof river and the view was excellent. Fridge and shelves were really well stocked. Exceeded our expectations. We watched from the deck area as fisherman pulled salmon from the river just below us. Definitely a great place to stay. We are planning our next visit.

We had an awesome stay at the Gallery Lodge. I will be returning in the future.

This place is in a beautiful location, but upon arriving, there was no visible office or place to check in. Luckily, there was a friend of the owner sitting outside smoking and she told us where to go. We were shown to our room (potters room 2) and it was a tiny little room in the middle of the home so there were no windows. We felt suffocated crammed into the room. We had a shared bathroom with another room, but we had a sink in the room. No information was given other than that, but the place has a full kitchen upstairs and downstairs, though there is no breakfast served. It is very strange. People upstairs were NOISY. They had kids running all around and playing Wii in the theater room which was evidently right above our room, while the owner drank wine downstairs in the dining area with the kid's parents. We only had a quick over night stay, and it was convenient to Clam Gulch, but it was not a peaceful or comfortable place to just hang out. I would not stay here again.

Dot was a great Host and our stay at the Gallery Lodge was wonderful. We rented the cabin for 8 nights and explored Alaska it was the best vacation ever. While we were there we saw a moose and her two cubs right in the front yard. Thanks Dot hope to see you again soon

We stayed at the Gallery Lodge during August 2013 and were very impressed with the lodge. The lodge was very clean, the provided a full stocked kitchen with everything you need and modern appliances. Both Dot and Bob were very friendly and helped us with arranging the fishing trips and provided everything we needed. We would strongly recommend the lodge.

August 2013--we stayed one night on our way back from Homer. What a beautiful lodge and outstanding scenery. The rooms are very clean and the hospitality felt like you were part of the family. The view of the river from the deck is beyond words. Wish we could have stayed more than one night. Carol and Steve

Our stay at a suite in the main lodge was great.The owners thought of everything. Much better than a five star hotel. Two whole kitchens overflowing with food were available for breakfast, including eggs and sausage as well as the usual cereal and yogurt. The suite was spacious and well appointed, including a luxurious bathroom.

Dot and Bob are wonderful hosts - friendly & accommodating. The house was perfect for 5 of us. Lovely view and easy access to fishing on the Kasilof River, which my husband and nephew enjoyed. We would definitely stay at the Gallery Lodge again.

Political Wisdom: Takeaways From a Tense Debate
Political Wisdom's morning edition rounds up the most important reads from the Journal and other publications, plus runs down early headlines. Follow our coverage on Twitter @WSJwashington
Top Lines:
A CBS instant poll of uncommitted voters taken after the Tuesday night debate between President Barack Obama and GOP challenger Mitt Romney found that Mr. Obama won the debate, 37% to 30% Another 33% called the match-up a tie… Malala Yousufzai, a 14-year-old Pakistani girl shot in the head by the Taliban for promoting girls' education, is responding to treatment …Lance Armstrong plans to quit as chairman of Livestrong cancer-fighting charity, CNN reports, citing people familiar with the matter.
Top Reads:
President Barack Obama and rival Mitt Romney had a tense second debate, repeatedly interrupting each other and accusing each other of lying, write Carol E. Lee, Janet Hook and Patrick O'Connor in The Wall Street Journal. "Voters always say they want candidates who don't squabble. And there was a lot of squabbling," Matthew Latimer, a former speechwriter for George W. Bush, told the paper. He said the constant interruptions could be a turnoff, especially for the shrinking numbers of undecided voters.
Mr. Obama's attacks in the Tuesday debate may have stopped the clamor from supporters following his lackluster performance at the first debate in Denver, write Jim Rutenberg and Jeff Zeleny in the New York Times. For every attack, "an unbowed Mr. Romney was there to meet him every time, and seemed to relish the opportunity to challenge a sitting president," they write.
"A far more aggressive President Obama showed up for his second debate with Mitt Romney on Tuesday, and at moments their town-hall-style engagement felt more like a shouting match than a presidential debate," write Karen Tumulty and Philip Rucker in The Washington Post. Mr. Romney continued to present a more moderate side, as when he made positive mention of government programs such as Pell grants and scholarships.
Pro-Republican super PACs and allied groups plan to spend tens of millions of dollars on advertising in a last-ditch effort to safeguard the GOP majority in the House, write Brody Mullins and Naftali Bendavid in The Wall Street Journal. The spending, by groups like Karl Rove's Crossroads GPS and one founded by backers of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R., Va.), would overcome what until now has been a cash advantage by Democrats, they write.
A potential request from Spain for financial assistance is becoming tangled up in diplomacy between euro-zone capitals, write Marcus Walker, Ilan Brat and David Roman in The Wall Street Journal.
Top Opinions and Columns:
Holman W. Jenkins, Jr. writes in the Wall Street Journal that Mitt Romney missed a chance in Tuesday's debate to sharpen his case for his election. "It's not just that Mr. Obama hasn't created enough jobs, so let's try somebody new. The case should be: The country is on a path to extraordinary fiscal disaster, and it will take an extraordinary exercise of political leadership to get to a new path. Mr. Obama has not shown the leadership to fix, or even appreciated the challenge created by, his mounting, unsustainable deficits."
Ross Douthat writes in the New York Times that while Mr. Romney's performance was "highly effective in stretches," put his flaws on display. "One is a tendency to argue pointlessly with the moderator and his opponents over the rules of order. The other is his habit of pressing his advantage too far, seeking a kind of alpha-male moment that can seem bullying instead of strong."
Dana Milbank writes in the Washington Post that conservatives have been sitting silently as Mr. Romney tacks toward the center. "For a movement that has prided itself on being ideologically pure, this is a decidedly pragmatic turn. Necessity, it seems, is the mother of reinvention."
Last Word:
The White House has released the recipe for its own home-produced beer, and Eric Asimov writes in the New York Times that he enlisted Garrett Oliver, the brewmaster at Brooklyn Brewery, to make a batch. The verdict came in on Monday: "It was good. Very good," he writes.

For me, motherhood has been a joyfully slippery whirl— I feel like each day has its own specific answer, so I'll leave it to others down the road if they want to draw comparisons to my earlier poems. But I can say that when I sit at my desk to write, there is a sense of urgency and a deeper sense of gratitude and celebration for this planet and its inhabitants. I know that my heartbeat is closer to the surface of my skin, so news about hate and violence affects me more than ever before, and I can't help but feel sometimes that the only way I can push back against all this darkness in the world is to find ways to record instances of delight and beauty on this planet for my sons— Interview with David Winter, The Journal
I know everyone talks about the tactile feel of their book, the weight of it, in a very drama-filled rhapsody and I wish I could say something different, but I tell you, if you have never held a Tupelo book, you are missing out on one of the highest production qualities of any poetry book I have simply ever seen. The satinsilk matte cover with French flaps — it was a dream come true right there in my hands.You can read the rest of her description of the publication experience here

Highly touted lightweight prospect Mercito "No Mercy" Gesta may return on the undercard of the Brandon Rios-Yuriorkis Gamboa WBA lightweight title matchup on April 14 at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Nev., according to Gesta's trainer/manager Vincent Parra.
Gesta (24-0, 12 KOs), of San Diego, Calif. by way of Mandaue City, Cebu, Philippines, would probably face another tune-up opponent, said Parra, but Parra says the plan that promoter Bob Arum has lined up for him after that in the Summer "will take everybody by surprise."
Gesta and Rios have gone back and forth in the media, calling each other out for a fight that never materialized but Parra says the plan isn't to face the Mexican-American should he win.
"It's not Rios. Bigger."

Selection Camp Day 1; Red defeats White 3-1
Tuesday, 12.11.2012 / 10:00 AM MT / News
By Ryan Dittrick - edmontonoilers.com
Phillip Danault, Frank Corrado and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins each scored as Team Red defeated Team White 3-1 Tuesday night. Watch the video below for post-game comments from RNH, Corrado and Ryan Murphy.
Just had a chance to catch up with Oilers Head Amateur Scout Stu MacGregor prior to the warm-up:
Here are the lineups:
Charles Hudon - Ryan Strome - Brett Ritchie
Daniel Catenacci - Boone Jenner - Ty Rattie
Sean Monahan - Tyler Graovac - Mark McNeill
Hunter Shinkaruk
Scott Harrington - Xavier Ouellet
Adam Pelech - Ryan Murphy
Derrick Pouliot - Ryan Sproul
Jake Paterson
Malcolm Subban
Jonathan Huberdeau - Ryan Nugent-Hopkins - Mark Scheifele
Jonathan Drouin - Nathan MacKinnon - JC Lipon
Anthony Camara - Phillip Danault - Tom Wilson
Francis Beauvillier
Morgan Rielly - Dougie Hamilton
Tyler Wotherspoon - Frank Corrado
Griffin Reinhart - Mathew Dumba
Jordan Binnington
Laurent Brossoit
Charles Hudon - Ryan Strome - Brett Ritchie
Daniel Catenacci - Boone Jenner - Ty Rattie
Sean Monahan - Tyler Graovac - Mark McNeill
Hunter Shinkaruk
Scott Harrington - Xavier Ouellet
Adam Pelech - Ryan Murphy
Derrick Pouliot - Ryan Sproul
Jake Paterson
Malcolm Subban
Jonathan Huberdeau - Ryan Nugent-Hopkins - Mark Scheifele
Jonathan Drouin - Nathan MacKinnon - JC Lipon
Anthony Camara - Phillip Danault - Tom Wilson
Francis Beauvillier
Morgan Rielly - Dougie Hamilton
Tyler Wotherspoon - Frank Corrado
Griffin Reinhart - Mathew Dumba
Jordan Binnington
Laurent Brossoit
Who says intrasquad games don't matter? This one has a quick pace to it -- both teams have cycled through their lines once as the action sways end-to-end. With some nifty stickwork in the slot, Nugent-Hopkins sets up Scheifele for a shot, but White's Jake Paterson makes an easy glove save.
With 11:06 remaining in the period, RNH spotted his linemate alone in the slot once again. The quick one-time shot by the Winnipeg Jets prospect was smothered by the netminder, however.
I feel like I'm repeating myself, but Nugent-Hopkins is involved once more as Jonathan Drouin dishes off, allowing the 19-year-old to snap a shot on goal. Again, Paterson is there.
With 6:30 on the clock, Red's Tyler Wotherspoon was assessed a tripping minor. While White peppered Jordan Binnington with several high-quality chances, the game remained scoreless.
Following a dominant shift in which RNH and Scheifele continued to work their magic, the mismatched combinations allowed Huberdeau to scoot in undetected and rip a shot that caught the base of Paterson's right post.
Another Red penalty -- a delay of game minor served by Tom Wilson -- gave White another power-play late in the opening period. Much like their earlier opportunity, the colourless club came up empty. Team Red led 5-3 in shots after one period.
Just for fun, both teams had a post-period shootout. The goalies continued to be the story -- until Huberdeau cut in and made Paterson look foolish by slipping the puck past him at the last second as he crashed the crease. Nugent-Hopkins' attempt didn't amount to much, despite being serenaded by the pro-Oiler packed house.
Since it's essentially a controlled scrimmage, there are going to be a couple forced situations to see how the teams adapt. To start the second, White has been given a power-play. Nugent-Hopkins is on the PK.
Just as the 'penalty' expired, a cross-crease feed appeared to give Daniel Catenacci a wide-open net to shoot for, but his sights are a little off, allowing Binnington to get back to a spot where he could make the save.
Riding that momentum, Red came back and nearly notched the icebreaker but Wilson's close-in shot struck iron. Another furious Red sequence seconds later almost resulted in a Francis Beauvillier goal, but Paterson made a sensational, off-the-goal-line denial to preserve the 0-0 score.
Red's onslaught contnued as the period's midway point approached. A three-way passing play initiated and executed by the speedy Drouin provided another 'Ooh!' moments for the fans, but Paterson said no.
Red went to the power-play with 8:30 remaining. At the same time, the teams made a goalie switch. In came Edmonton Oil Kings netminder Laurent Brossoit for Red -- and, at the other end, it was Belleville Bulls star Malcolm Subban. Subban held the fort, stopping both shots Red tested with him to successfully kill Ryan Murphy's infraction.
Mat Dumba is usually the one dishing them out, but Brett Ritchie just crunched him with a heavy side-board hit at the blue line. That one made some noise.
Red extended to a 15-7 shot lead after two periods.
Just 1:02 into the period, Nathan MacKinnon accepted a slick centering pass and hammered a shot on goal, but Subban stood tall.
White's Ritchie, showcasing his chippy side, gave Nugent-Hopkins an extra shot as he drove the net. RNH replied with a heavy-handed chop to the heel.
TEAM RED GOAL: Phillip Danault races down the middle, slips into the slot and wires a long-range wrister past Subban on his team's 21st shot. 5:39 to play, 1-0.
TEAM WHITE GOAL: Less than a minute later, Hunter Shinkaruk crashes the net and picks up a rebound that he promptly deposits upstairs over Brossoit to make it a 1-1 game with under 5:00 to play.
TEAM RED GOAL: The goals kept coming and this one had some mustard on it. With less than a minute to go, Frank Corrado buried a shot past Subban to give Red a 2-1 lead late.
TEAM RED GOAL: It's only appropriate that the game's best player, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, could ice the outcome with an empty-net marker.
Team Red wins 3-1 over Team White. The colours also won the SOG battle, besting White by three shots in a 26-23 tally.
Good morning, Calgary! I've arrived bright and early at the Markin MacPhail Centre where Team Canada's National Junior Team Selection Camp is about to begin. In what promises to be a busy day, the 37-man contingent has divided into two groups (Team Red and Team White, appropriately enough) and will practice at at 10:15 and 11:30am.
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins is on Team Red and will be hitting the ice in about 30 minutes. Follow the link for rosters and schedule information. Stay tuned all day as I'll be providing live updates, video, articles and more.
Nugent-Hopkins is skating on a line with WJC-veteran and Florida Panthers prospect Jonathan Huberdeau. Flanking his other wing is Winnipeg Jets prospect Mark Scheifele. Observation: Laurent Brossoit is having a solid practice to this point, stoning RNH and other Red hotshots over and over. Brossoit needs a big camp to have a chance to make the team. Right now it's expected that Belleville Bulls goaltender Malcolm Subban will secure the starting role.
Fortunately, I survived multiple elbows to the face while navigating the mix zone where players conducted post-practice interviews. The camera survived, too, so I'll have a video update with Nugent-Hopkins and Huberdeau up shortly.
"Everybody's going hard. In a tournament like this, it's going to be very intense -- as intense as the AHL or NHL. I know to expect that and I'm excited for it." - Nugent-Hopkins. Watch the full video:
Apparently Nugent-Hopkins is rooming with 17-year-old Nathan MacKinnon, who's expected by many to follow in RNH's footsteps by going No. 1 overall at the upcoming 2013 NHL Entry Draft. Story to come on that later.
I also had a chance to speak to Brossoit about the pressure he's facing this week. He's not bothered by it in the slightest.
It's hard cold in this rink. That's what happens when you sit about 15 feet from the ice surface, but it's a small price to pay. Right now Team Red and Team White are probably grabbing a pre-game nap back at the hotel. In the meantime, I've posted on story on Nugent-Hopkins' role as a mentor to 17-year-old Nathan MacKinnon:
"He's in a very similar situation as I was. It's good to be able to room with him and ease his mind a little bit and let him know what to expect. He's a really mature kid and he's handled it well." - Nugent-Hopkins on MacKinnon
One of the more compelling quotes I heard during Nugent-Hopkins' availability this morning spoke to team chemistry. RNH believes Canada can have all the talent in the world, but it won't matter unless there's a committed effort to come together as one:
"If we come together off the ice, things will come together on it." - Nugent-Hopkins. Read the full story.
Tonight's Red/White game won't be broadcast anywhere. So if you're unable to make it out to the Markin MacPhail Centre, follow along here as I'll be providing minute-by-minute updates, similar to our Oklahoma City Barons and Oilers game coverage.

BPC presents the 2008 Alumni Society Awards during Alumni Weekend 2008
By Kelley Arnold
BPC Interim Director of Marketing
The following individuals were honored during Alumni Weekend's Tribute Service April 5 in Saliba Chapel on the Mount Vernon campus.
Friend of the Year: W. Doyle NeSmith Sr.
W. Doyle NeSmith is a prominent businessman in the Vidalia/Lyons community. As a BPC trustee, he is a major supporter and friend of BPC, attending and supporting the college's athletic programs. He and his wife, June, also honored BPC during the Centennial Celebration in 2004 by generously donating the obelisk monument in the Fountain-New Library plaza.
"Not being a Brewton-Parker College alumnus, I have not had the pleasure nor the opportunity to develop the friendships that occur as a student. I have, however, enjoyed serving two terms as a member of the Board of Trustees. During this time, I have had the privilege to serve with a number of other individuals from various areas of he state who are, and have been, members of the Board. Out of this has developed a number of close friendships, which will continue for a lifetime," said NeSmith. "This award, although directed to me, should be shared by many who have contributed time, talent and resources to BPC over many years. It is a treasured award for which I am grateful. You could have selected a more deserving recipient, but never a more grateful one."
Alumnus of the Year: Gary P. Braddy ('63)
Gary P. Braddy is a prominent businessman in Montgomery County, Ga. He is a former county judge and is currently serving as a BPC Trustee, having served multiple terms in the past. A major supporter and friend of BPC, he generously dredged Jones Lake over the summer of 2007. The renovation project was completed over the spring semester and was re-dedicated April 17, 2008.
When asked what his fondest memories of BPC were, he stated, "My favorite Brewton-Parker memory was attending BPC's basketball games. Each game was full of excitement until the last minute."
"It is humbling to receive this award because there are so many other Brewton-Parker alumni that are just as deserving," said Braddy. "As I accept this award, I will always be mindful of the contributions many other alumni are making in their communities."
Ministerial Alumnus of the Year: Rev. Royce A. Vaughn ('87, 89)
Rev. Vaughn is the minister at Chauncey Baptist Church, and has served as its pastor for 14 consecutive years while being a love father to his son, Austin. He has also been a part of Coast for Christ Ministries in Ghana, Africa for six years. For two weeks each June, Rev. Vaughn trains pastors of the new church plants in Ghana.
"As far as my best BPC moment, the first thing that comes to mind was the Water Balloon fights!" said Rev. Vaughn. "My fondest memories were the times with friends and faculty as we grew and ministered together. Winning this award is very humbling to me. I know that there are many ministers more worthy than I. I am proud to receive this award as I will cherish it and what it stands for."
Music Alumna of the Year: Phyllis Johnson Scaggs ('85)
For the past 22 years, Scaggs has been a school music teacher and very active leader in her church's music program, serving as either full- or part- time Minister of Music at five churches. While teaching voice and piano for many years, Scaggs has also served as a children's choir clinician and adjudicator in Florida, leading a 65-voice children's' choir that traveled and performed at various Baptist churches throughout the state of Florida. She has also taught for the Children's Music Development Center at Emory University. An active member of the BPC Alumni Board and BPC Alumni Choir, she sings with the Georgia Baptist Convention's Jubalheirs.
"No matter where I go or where I have worked, being a graduate of Brewton-Parker has always been a recommendation of its own," said Scaggs. "BPC has always been a special place in my heart, so to receive this music alumna award is one of the greatest honors in my life. Thank you for allowing me the privilege of joining the ranks of those who have gotten the award before me."
Half Century Club Alumna of the Year: Hilda Beaufort Brackett ('42)
Brackett is an avid supporter and friend of BPC. A member of the BPC Half Century Club, she is a member of the BPC Alumni Board. She and her husband, Dr. Alvin Brackett, were instrumental in making Saliba Chapel a reality for the college and all that it serves. It was through their generous gift that helped launch the construction of the landmark chapel on the Mount Vernon campus.
"My best memories of BPC are filled with a place where I found happy days filled with love, laughter and lifetime friends, while getting a quality education in a Christian environment," said Brackett. "BPC was wonderful to me; that is also where my husband and I met. I am overwhelmed by this and it means more to me than any other achievement since leaving BPC."
Young Alumna of the Year: Paige Goodman Coker ('98)
Coker received her master's degree in middle grades education and her education specialist degree in curriculum and instructional technology from Valdosta State University, all while maintaining a 4.0 grade point average. She is the honor's reading teacher and gifted program coordinator for Ware County Middle School. In 2005, she attained National Board Certification and was recognized by Gov. Sonny Perdue as having earned Master Teacher Certification in 2006. A member of the BPC Alumni Choir, she signs for the hearing impaired at their performances.
"BPC is a special place to my family as it was here that my parents met some 40 years ago," said Coker. "Winning this award affirms that it was God's will for me to spend five wonderful years here preparing me for the work he has ordained for me. Ms. Hildegard Stanley's guidance, my parents' support, and the excellent spiritual and academic preparation I received from my professors have provided the foundation I need to make my mark on the world."
Brewton-Parker College is the only accredited four-year Christian college in south Georgia. Affiliated with the Georgia Baptist Convention, the college holds classes on its main campus in Mount Vernon and six external learning centers around the state, including Baxley, Glennville, Liberty County, Newnan, Norman Park and Savannah.

Intel's mobile development team moves inside the PC division
Subject: General Tech | November 18, 2014 - 12:53 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Intel, tablet, smartphone
Intel's smartphone and tablet divisions are being rolled up under Kirk Skaugen's PC Business division in what was described as an attempt to "accelerate Intel's opportunity in the marketplace". This is definitely needed as Intel is having great difficulties garnering market share in the mobile industry, the only successes they have had are with larger more expensive tablets. One possible benefit of this merger that was mentioned in the Inquirer's article was Intel's plans to leverage the growing use of LTE in both tablets and laptops, perhaps we shall see a 4G card become far more common in even basic models. Intel implied that they are not planning any layoffs at this point although unless their ultramobile division can pick up the pace it seems inevitable that some will feel the axe. We shall see over the coming year if Intel's focus on low powered silicon can help in their battles against incumbents such as ARM and Qualcomm.
"INTEL HAS ANNOUNCED plans to merge its smartphone and tablet operations with its PC division in a bid to make the two businesses more efficient, and to further compete with rivals in the mobile semiconductor market."

Lenovo Unveils New Vibe Z2 and Vibe X2 Smartphones
Subject: Mobile | September 6, 2014 - 12:11 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: snapdragon, smartphone, qualcomm, Lenovo, ifa 2014
In addition to new traditional PCs, Lenovo unveiled two new smartphones under its Vibe series. The Vibe Z2 and Vibe X2 are 64-bit mobiles ready for Android L. Both models will be available in China and select regions later this month.
First up is the Lenovo Vibe X2 which is the successor to the Vibe X. Lenovo's new flagship smartphone is 7.27mm thick and uses a layered design that uses a three color gradient evident when looking at the outside edges of the phone. The Vibe X2 features a large 5-inch 1920 x 1080 IPS display, 5MP webcam, and 13MP rear camera with flash.
The Vibe X2 is powered by a MediaTek MT6595M SoC, 2GB RAM, 32GB internal storage (no MicroSD expansion), and a 2,300mAh battery. The phone will come in dual and single SIM variants depending on the country. The MediaTek MT6595M "True8Core" processor features eight ARM cores in a big.LITTLE configuration with a maximum clockspeed of 2GHz on the four Cortex A17 cores and 1.5GHz on the four low power Cortex A7 cores. The SoC also features a 16MP image signal processor, video encoding hardware (for recording up to 1080p60), and a PowerVR G6200 GPU clocked at 450MHz.
In all, the Vibe X2 should perform noticeably better than last year's Vibe X thanks to the updated SoC with faster GPU. Moving to the big.LITTLE setup should also net users better battery life, which is always a good thing. For even more battery life though, Lenovo is offering up clip-on attachments – called Lenovo Xtensions – that include an extra battery and a version with a larger speaker.
While the hardware is ready to run Android L, the phone will ship with Android 4.4 KitKat along with Lenovo's Vibe UI 2.0.
The flagship Vibe X2 will be available later this month in China starting at $399 USD.
Lenovo is also releasing the Vibe Z2 which is a stylish metal unibody design with a brushed metal finish. The phone is 7.8mm thick and weighs 155 grams. The front of the Vibe Z2 is dominated by a 5.5-inch 1920x1080 display. An 8MP front camera sits above the display and uses an optional guesture-based shutter that can be triggered by smiling, blinking, or making a "V" sign with your hands. According to Lenovo, the Vibe Z has "mastered the art of the selfie." On the backside of the smartphone sits a 13MP camera with a Sony Exmor BSI (backside illumination) sensor and optical image stabilization which is nice to see on a smartphone.
Inside the Vibe Z2, Lenovo is using a Qualcomm Snapdragon 401 SoC, 2GB RAM, 32GB internal storage, and a 3,000mAh battery. The phone supports Dual SIM cards as well as LTE, HSPA+, WiFi, and Bluetooth networks. The Snapdragon 401 is a recent Qualcomm chip that can be clocked up to 1.2GHz with a Adreno 305 GPU clocked at up to 450MHz (Lenovo did not give specific clockspeeds, but those are the speeds that the 401 is rated at).
The Vibe Z2 will be available in China and other regions where Lenovo has a smartphone presence later this month starting at $429 USD.
Xiaomi Launches Mi4 Smartphone In China
Subject: General Tech | July 23, 2014 - 01:40 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: xiaomi, snapdragon 801, smartphone, mobile, LTE, Android 4.4.2
Yesterday, Xiaomi revealed a powerful smartphone called the Mi4 that looks to give the unlocked OnePlus One a run for its money. The new smartphone is launching first in China with an international version coming in the future.
The Xiaomi Mi4 features a 5" 1080p IPS LCD display, 13MP rear camera, and 8MP webcam. A metal band surrounds the outside edges of the phone while a stainless steel frame adds rigidity and protection for the internal hardware. The other bits of the case are plastic, however likely due to weight and signal reception concerns. There is a removable back cover that is available in several different designs and colors. The Mi4 is slightly bulkier than its predecessor at 0.35-inches thick and 149 grams.
Internally, the Mi4 uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 SoC with four Krait 400 CPU cores clocked at 2.5GHz and an Adreno 330 GPU. Further, the smartphone features 3GB of RAM and either 16GB or 64GB of internal storage. It is powered by a 3,080 mAh battery which should provide ample battery life. Wireless connectivity includes dual band 802.11b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, 3G, and LTE. The WCDMA version of the smartphone will be available first with a CDMA version coming next month, and a 4G LTE capable device coming in September.
The smartphone runs Android 4.4.2 with a highly customized MIUI5 user interface. An updated version of the UI, called MIUI6 is reportedly coming in August, but it is unclear how soon Mi4 users can expect an upgrade.
The Xiaomi Mi4 will be available on July 29 for 1,999 Yuan ($322 USD) for the 16GB version and 2,499 Yuan ($403) for the 64GB version. Initially, it will be 3G only, but a 4G LTE capable version of the smartphone is coming in September (presumably for the same price). Even further out, an unlocked international version is said to be available for purchase in the future.
In all, the Mi4 looks to be a decent phone with enough design tweaks and hardware oomph to give existing high end smartphones a run for their money. You do sacrifice micro SD card support and stock Android, but if you can live with that and are in the target market (or can wait for an international version) it is worth keeping an eye on!

CES 2014: Asus Announces the PadFone X (AT&T Exclusive) and PadFone mini for US
Subject: General Tech, Mobile, Shows and Expos | January 6, 2014 - 08:29 PM | Steve Schardein
Tagged: smartphone, PadFone Mini, padfone, LTE Advanced, HD Voice, CES 2014, CES, Carrier Aggregation, atom z2580, asus, Android
Asus' PadFone is a cool idea that's never yet made it stateside—but that's all about to change with the advent of the PadFone X, which will be headed exclusively to AT&T at some point in the future (TBA). The PadFone was a concept first introduced in 2011 that involves a smartphone which docks with a larger tablet for seamless transition between screen sizes. Everything is also constantly and instantly synced between the two gadgets via independent Wi-Fi and cellular data connections without the need to manually invoke synchronization. Any applications which are currently running on either device will automatically resize to fit the other screen when the PadFone is docked or undocked.
It's a really clever design that we're happy to see is coming to the US. Pricing and detailed specifications are still up in the air, but here's what we do know about it:
- 5-inch 1080p screen
- Docks with a 9-inch 1080p companion tablet station
- Brushed metal frame with soft-touch back cover
- Dual front speakers
A "large" battery in the companion tablet station also allows for charging of the 5-inch PadFone when docked, providing "2 times longer" battery life.
The PadFone X supports a couple of new technologies on AT&T's network as well to help improve voice quality:
- Voice over LTE (VoLTE): This is a new technology which allows for much better quality voice transmission using a codec referred to as HD Voice (technically called Adaptive Multi-Rate Wideband).
- Carrier Aggregation: A part of LTE Advanced, this allows for the grouping of up to five separate 20 MHz bands to produce up to a maximum aggregated bandwidth of 100 MHz. Essentially, it translates to better voice quality for the PadFone X.
More details about the PadFone X will be announced soon.
In the meantime, Asus also unveiled the PadFone mini, which is not tethered to any particular carrier. It's essentially a more basic version of the PadFone X, and judging by the screen resolution alone (800x480 for the phone and 1280x800 for the tablet), it's clear that it's intended more for the mainstream market than tech enthusiasts.
The full specs are as follows:
- CPU: Intel Atom Z2560 processor
- Storage: 8 GB internal w/ Micro SD slot for expansion
- Screen:
- Phone: 800x480 IPS
- Station: 1280x800 IPS
- Camera: 8 MP rear camera (f/2.0) and 2 MP front-facing camera
- Battery:
- Phone: 4.5Wh, 1170mAh, non-removable polymer battery
- Station: 8.3Wh, 2100mAh, non-removable polymer battery
- Weight/Dimensions:
- Phone: 116g; 124.42 (L) x 61.44 (W) x 6.3-11.2 (H) mm
- Station: 260g; 199.85 (L) x 119.43 (W) x 13.91 (H) mm
- Five color choices: Black, White, Red, Blue, and Yellow
- Dual-SIM support
- New ZenUI interface layered atop Android OS, which provides new apps, visual tweaks, and some useful extras.
Stay tuned to PC Perspective for more on both devices as it's announced!

IDF 2013: Intel Plans $100 Tablets and 22nm SoC Smartphones
Subject: General Tech, Mobile | September 10, 2013 - 01:38 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: tablet, smartphone, LTE, Intel, idf 2013, idf, Bay Trail, 22nm
This year at the Intel Developer Forum, Intel is announcing a slew of new products. Among the fray is a sneak peek at some of the mobile devices that will be utilizing the company's Bay Trail Atom SoCs.
The first device Intel showed off was a small Lenovo branded tablet that is likely the Intel-powered alternative to the current ARM-powered S5000 that was announced at IFA 2013 in Berlin. The Intel powered tablet is using a Bay Trail Atom SoC.
The mysteriously specc'd Lenovo tablet is not the only kit to use Bay Trail, however. Intel claims that there will be a number of new tablets on the way, including models that will be available for under $100 in time for this holiday season. Of course, beyond that specs were not announced.
Intel also showed off a new prototype smartphone that is powered by a new 22nm SoC. Ryan speculates that the chip is an Intel Merrifield-based SoC which is a mobile architecure derived from Silvermont. The company claims that the move to a 22nm manufacturing process for these mobile chips results in a 50% battery life improvement. Impressive, if those numbers hold true!
The smartphone further features an LTE radio, and Intel shared a speed test of the LTE modem during the conference. Today, the smartphone uses LTE for data and 3G for voice calls, but by the end of the year products will be able to use the LTE radio for both data and voice connections.
Stay tuned to PC Perspective for more IDF good-ness as it develops!
IFA 2013: Lenovo Updates Its Smartphone Portfolio With New Vibe X Flagship and Updated K900
Subject: General Tech, Mobile | September 5, 2013 - 02:52 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: vibe x, smartphone, mtk 6589t, Lenovo, k900, android 4.2
Lenovo announced new mobile devices at IFA 2013 in Berlin this week including the new flagship Lenovo S960 "Vibe X" and an updated Lenovo K900 in orange or black colors. The new K900 is available now in China and the new Vibe X smartphone will be available (in China) in October.
The Lenovo Vibe X is the company's new flagship smartphone. The hardware, encased in a polycarbonate body is 6.9mm thin and weighs 121 grams. The smartphone features a 5-inch (440 pixels per inch) 1920 x 1080 IPS display covered by Corning Gorilla Glass 3. A 5MP front-facing webcam uses a 84-degree wide angle lens and the rear 13MP auto-focus camera has a back-illuminated sensor and LED flash.
Internal specifications include a quad core MediaTek 6589T SoC clocked at 1.5GHz, a PowerVR™ Series5XT GPU, 2GB of memory, 16GB of internal storage, and an embedded 2,000 mAh Li-Po battery. The phone runs Google's Android 4.2 operating system.
I find it interesting that Lenovo has moved away from the Intel platform for its new flagship. Unfortunately, it still is not coming to the US or Europe. Instead, the new Vibe X smartphone will be available in China in October and in other countries where Lenovo smartphones are sold around the December time frame.
In addition the IdeaPhone S960 Vibe X, Lenovo has issues a slight update to the Clover Trail+ powered K900. The phone will now be available in orange and black, which are new color options in addition to the existing silver model.
The phone is available now in China in 16GB and 32Gb capacities and will be available later this year in other countries. According to Into Mobile, the orange edition will cost users around 3,299 Yuan (which is a 300 Yuan premium over the silver SKU).
LG Launches Enact Smartphone With Physical Sliding Keyboard

Tagged: verizon, smartphone, physical keyboard, LG, enact, Android
LG recently launched a new slider smartphone called the Enact on the US Verizon network. The new smartphone pairs low-to-midrange hardware with a physical keyboard and Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean.
The LG Enact measures 4.37" x 2.06" x 0.62" and weighs 5.99 ounces. A black chassis surrounds a 4" touchscreen display with a resolution of 800 x 400 and front-facing VGA webcam. A physical keyboard slides out from the left side of the phone and a 5MP camera (with auto-focus) is located on the back of the smartphone along with a LED flash. The keyboard's five row layout includes full qwerty and a top number row along with arrow keys in the bottom-right corner.
Internal specifications include a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 MSM8930 SoC, 8GB of internal storage, wireless radios, and a 2,460 mAH Li-ion battery. The MSM8930 SoC includes a dual core ARM CPU clocked at 1.2GHz and a Adreno 305 GPU. Wireless functionality includes 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and GPS. The smartphone runs Android 4.1.2.
The LG Enact has a full retail price of $349.99, and a subsidized price of $19.99 with a 2 year contract through the Verizon website. The smartphone has modest specifications and an older version of Google's mobile operating system, but it does offer up a physical keyboard and is the latest in an increasingly rare product type.
ZTE Open Smartphone Running Firefox OS Sold Out On eBay
Subject: General Tech | August 20, 2013 - 04:37 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: zte open, zte, smartphone, msm7225a, mozilla, Firefox OS
Mozilla has been working on its mobile Firefox OS for about a year, and smartphones running the OS are starting to become available stateside. The first bit of hardware running Firefox OS is the ZTE Open, which launched last week for $79.99 exclusively on eBay. Unfortunately, the limited stock ZTE made available is already gone, and there is no word on when more smartphones will be available. (However, in typical eBay fashion, users are turning around and selling the $80 phone for $170 if you really want to get your hands on it...)
According to the eBay listing, ZTE managed to sell 985 of the orange ZTE Open smartphones.
The ZTE Open comes in blue or orange and features low end specifications. Fortunately, Firefox OS and its HTML5 applications do not demand much hardware. On the outside, the ZTE Open has a 3.5" TFT touchscreen with a resolution of 480 x 320, a single home button sitting below the display, and a 3.15 MP rear camera. Internal specifications include a MSM7225A SoC with an ARM Cortex-A5 CPU clocked at 1Ghz and Adreno 200 GPU along with 2GB of internal storage expandable by micro SD card. Other specifications include 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1, 3G cellular radio, a 1200 mAH battery, and various sensors (accelerometer, ambient light, and GPS). The Firefox OS smartphone measures 114 x 62 x 12.5mm.
Seeing the ZTE Open sell out of its limited stock in such a short amount of time suggests that there is some positive amount of demand for Firefox OS from enthusiasts, but the smartphone and OS platform still has a long road ahead of it before it becomes a true threat to Android and iOS. Much like the fabled Ubuntu Phone, more than enthusiast demand will be needed, along with support from US carriers and app developers. With that said, it is a good first step into the US market and I hope ZTE makes more phones available soon.

Religious right wing Einat Barzilay says time has come to separate from radical settlers
Published: 09.08.11
In recent days I found two words to hate – price tag. Once upon a time it used to be in the fashion context and pertained to expensive blouses I could never afford, yet now it's much more painful, because the despicable term is linked to kippas and biblical excerpts, the materials comprising my faith. I too squirmed when I saw the demolition of the homes in Migron, even though in my view it would have been better not to build there illegally to begin with, as not to face such painful situations later on. Yet nonetheless, the people of Migron are my brothers.
However, the ugly acts we woke up to the next morning, in the form of mosque vandalism and breaking into IDF bases, infuriated me, prompted a deep sense of withdrawal and suffocated any automatic sense of affinity. I find nothing Jewish in vandalizing the holy sites of other religions and I find no political benefit in attacking IDF soldiers or in dubbing commanders as "Nazis" and resorting to any other threats.
My sentiments can also be found in the Torah, which never asserted that the duty to settle the land is above any other mitzvah (Rabbi Menachem Froman noted that the decree to protect converts and foreigners living in our midst appears in the Torah many more times than "Love thy friend as thyself.") Psychologically speaking, those who resort to violence provoke violence against themselves; those who resort to hatred create a chain-reaction of hatred.
Does the presence in Migron justify the trampling of any humane and humanitarian value?
Time to end the relationship
I'm well aware of the trampling of rights of Migron residents, and I'm also familiar with the discourse of hatred for the settlers that blame them for any negative phenomenon. I despise the people who fan the flames of this discourse; they are spiritual dwarfs and for that reason they need this discourse to present their political arguments, which are often justified. Yet now came the price tag people and positioned themselves at the same level as the haters and inciters, granting them the justification for their hatred on a silver platter.
Here, there is no room for condemnations in press releases anymore. Now, we need to take action. Just like in our personal lives, where frustration overcomes the promise inherent in a relationship, the time has come to part ways. The time has come to tell the price tag people, let's end it. We shall not be a part of you.
The fact that you and I keep the Shabbat, eat kosher and take pleasure in the Torah is no longer sufficient in order to live in the same ideological home. Perhaps we better use different names on the door too. We'll be called "Religious Zionism" and you'll be called "Fanatics." Our women shall cover their heads, while your women shall put on a burqa. We shall adopt the moderation of Beit Hillel, while you adopt Beit Shamai. We'll take Rabbi Yehuda Halevi while you take Rabbi Dov Lior.
Let's separate.

Designer Rei Kawakubo is the figurehead of Comme des Garçons, which is now a design empire - Kawakubo is regarded by many in the fashion industry as a genius. The often avant-garde and always influential label was created by Kawakubo in Tokyo in 1969 before heading to Paris in 1981 where it garnered both acclaim and controversy with a debut collection of distressed and deconstructed pieces. The modern Comme des Garçons brand, which encompasses an entire family of sub-brands in fashion and fragrance, is worn by men and women with an esoteric style stance.

LOS ANGELES -- Oregon coach Chip Kelly opened his prepared remarks Tuesday at Pac-12 media day by acknowledging the hottest topic of the day.
"Obviously, I know the one question everybody is waiting to have answered," Kelly said.
Then he proceeded to not answer it.
The NCAA is examining Oregon's $25,000 payment to Will Lyles, a Houston-based scout who has accused the Ducks of paying, not for scouting information, but for access to recruits, a potential rules violation.
The controversy dominated Kelly's appearance Tuesday -- his first media appearance since Lyles' accusation was reported by Yahoo! earlier this month.
"We have great respect for the NCAA in terms of their review and examination of our use of recruiting services, and we've cooperated fully with them and will continue to cooperate with them," Kelly said.
"We've also asked an outside law firm to conduct a review of our situation and produce a report that we'll make public.
"When those reports are public, we'd love to talk about the situation "... I'd love to talk about it. There are a lot of answers I'd love to make sure we can get out there."
"I have no concern whatsoever," said Tedford, echoing comments he made two weeks ago to the Bay Area News Group. "We have video. We have prospect lists."
The NCAA asked Cal to submit documents related to its dealings with Lyles. Athletic director Sandy Barbour has said the school cooperated fully and "I don't expect that they have concern about what we sent."
Cal, which is breaking in a new quarterback and must play its home games at AT&T Park, was slotted for fifth.
USC was the choice in the muddled South but is ineligible for the title game because of NCAA sanctions.
Bigelow, who is recovering from a knee injury, could challenge Isi Sofele for the starting job. The Bears have seven tailbacks on the roster.
"(Bigelow) is coming along real well," Tedford said.
Oft-injured receiver Chris Owusu is recovering from knee surgery and will be used judiciously during training camp.
"He's ahead of schedule," Shaw said. "Since Chris' last surgery, I haven't said anything to him besides, 'Play every game.' "
The network is scheduled to launch in August 2012 to coincide with the start of its recently completed, 12-year deal with Fox and ESPN.

The engineering emphasis is designed to prepare students to complete a Bachelor's degree in engineering at a four-year institution. The course work emphasizes mathematics, natural sciences, physics, engineering sciences and English. Students finish their general education core requirements at the transfer institution.
- Chemical engineers design processes to change raw materials into economically viable products. They often work in the petroleum, plastics, food, pharmaceutical and environmental industries.
- Civil engineers are involved in the design of transportation infrastructure, water projects, and the design and construction of structures.
- Computer engineers design, construct and operate computer systems.
- Electrical engineers work in energy generation and transmission, communications, control systems, circuit design and computers.
- Mechanical engineers design and develop all types of machines.
The program is designed to result in an Associate's degree with an emphasis in engineering and does not meet the general education requirements at all Idaho public universities. Course selection should be coordinated to meet the requirements for your intended transfer institution.
PLEASE NOTE: This degree plan is to help students plan coursework with a focus on engineering. Upon graduation, your degree will be in Liberal Arts and will NOT have an engineering focus officially denoted on your transcript and/or degree.
The engineering emphasis prepares students to transfer to a four-year institution with a good understanding of basic engineering principles.
Why This Program
The engineering emphasis (in a liberal arts degree) is designed primarily to prepare you to transition to a four-year institution to finish a bachelor's degree. It will expose you to the fundamentals of engineering and help you understand what is needed prior to attending upper division courses.
What You Will Learn to Do
- Understand the physics behind static and dynamic systems
- Be able to do basic drafting procedures
- Have an understanding of engineering measurements and be able to perform them

Navigating your way through college can be confusing, especially if you try to go it alone. CWI One Stop Student Services offers advising assistance, to help in deciding which courses you need to take to complete your educational goals. Visit Advising for more information or contact One Stop Student Services to schedule an appointment.
- Please be sure to check the courses required for your final degree at the four-year institution you plan to attend after finishing at CWI. It is absolutely imperative that you know which classes are required to obtain a bachelor's degree at that institution.
- CHEM 112 is not required for students going into Mechanical, Civil, Computer, or Electrical Engineering at U of I.
- It is possible to get vertical credit for ENGL 101 if the student successfully passes ENGL 102 and pays for the credits for ENGL 101.
- In order to successfully move into some engineering programs at U of I, the student will need to complete Computer Science 120 and maybe 121, depending on specific engineering program, during the summer between CWI and U of I. Those courses cover C++ programming and may be available online.
- If the student gets vertical credit for ENGL 101 and does not need CHEM 112, they may consider taking MATH 310 (Differential Equations) and ENGI 240 (Intro to Electrical Circuits), which are corequisites. There will not be room in a typical, two-year schedule for all four of these courses and the other degree requirements.
Connecting With Ideas
Connecting With Ideas (CWID 101) is the first semester student success course designed to help CWI students become engaged members of the academic community and cultivate habits for lifelong achievement and success.

In every job I've had, after a brief initial buzz (maybe two weeks) I feel despondently bored. This will happen when the role is well suited to my ENFJ personality, if I'm good at the job or even when I've initially felt really passionate about the role (like working for a children's charity). And so I leave with this sense of incompleteness. I'm 33 and I'm torn between pushing through and finding that one amazing something or accepting that, as my father says, I'm just scared of hard work.
Why don't I like my work? Am I lazy?
12 comments on "Why don't I like my work? Am I lazy?"
Thanks for your response, what a brilliant surprise. I'm not sure why it's a surprise because you say that you respond to people all the time; thank you for showing me that people often do what they say.
I actually started therapy about five months ago. I started due to a hot combo of poor self image, social anxiety and marital problems but for some reason I managed to siphon off work and my career as something that shouldn't/couldn't be affected by the negative feelings I was having.
I see now that cannot be the case, so hopefully I'm on the right road.
Thanks again.
Fellow ENFJ here!! Two things:
1.) We are *sensitive*. We love our work, and take usually personally when things go poorly (or really well).
2.) Don't take career advice from parents (I may have read that on this blog?). Our parents usually want us to be honest (almost to a fault), humble, helpful and willing to work from the ground up. In the workplace you need to be competent, assertive and selective in the projects you take.
I reccommend reading "Do What You Are" and "Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office (its better than the title suggests).
As for therapy, I have been doing EFT for a few years, and it has helped me overcome stressful/unpleasant/hurtful situations that I tend to hold onto. I'd be curious to hear Ms. Trunk's thoughts on EFT.
Hi everyone,
I have the same problem. I start a new job, I learn the job, I am bored with the job. Unfortunately, this happens within MONTHS and not within years. I make good money, have good co-workers, a nice 10-minute commute (walking), good benefits, everything you could ask for. But the work load is too low, I don't get more work even if I ask for it. I started taking a class after work so I can keep busy with doing the homework for it during work. I write on my book during work. I write for my blog during work. But all I want is a high-power job, that's well-respected, keeping me really busy and presenting me with challenges regularly. I do want job security, though. I am stuck somehow I feel. Now I am 30 and I want to kick some a$$ before I have kids. But I don't want to apply to the next job and then hit the same boredom after some months of learning and adapting again.
What should I do?
Thanks for your advice, Penelope. I did the Meyer Briggs a couple of months ago and I am an ESTJ type, with a strong peak in judging. Is that a nurturing type?
"I think if you are 30 and you have not found a job that you like, then there is a distinct possibility that the high-paying jobs are not jobs that would be fulfilling to you. " <– That is a really interesting comment.
I recently left academia for the higher-paying field of finance. Currently, I am an EA making about 3x what most grad students make (and more than some professors). I ended up learning that I actually do value the money and the freedom that comes with it.
I'm working towards a career in investor relations or client services in this industry which will give me the free time time and the financial freedom I need.
Long story short- it was difficult, yet liberating to admit to myself that I like money and the freedom and security that goes along with it.
Just to throw this out there, but what if you're one of those types who would be good staying home, but you're single or you're partnered up/married but don't want children? It seems there's more acceptance out there for a person to stay home if they are a parent, but not if they don't have children. What about the stay at home spouse? If one person makes enough money to cover expenses and the other is unhappy/unsuited for the job they have it seems that there isn't much support for the person to quit to find out what they really like. They're looked at as lazy, or mooching off the spouse with the full time job even it it's what they discussed and agreed on. As for the single person what if they would like to move around to try different things, but are bound by finances, even if they aren't living above their means? Again just tossing those questions out there out of curiosity.
"Long story short- it was difficult, yet liberating to admit to myself that I like money and the freedom and security that goes along with it."
This is how I feel right now. I mean, I still haven't completely accepted, but I have to. I studied a lot to become a 'save the world' person. Go to humanities and save people. However, after working for free for non profits that only hires one people in 100 I realized that need security and stability. That I rather have a job that doesn't really add anything to society, but have good friends and be able to travel and live reasonably. I keep beating myself about it, but I have to accept otherwise I'll always live stressed out about ethg.
I am trying to use my financially save, but boring job to try new things on the side. Kids are not in the picture, maybe in 2 years or so. I am taking Accounting classes, write on my own book, will be freelancing for a website project and will take some Graphic Design classes soon. Right now I work as an Advisor at a graduate school and I am bored out of my mind. Being bored all the time is so depressing, but I guess if I haven't figured out my dream job by now, as Penelope states, work might not be my place after all. I will continue to try new things and see where it takes me.

Shamsul Ard(Sun of Land), Shahe Waliyat(King of Sainthood) Hazrat Saiyadina Shamsuddin Turk Panipati was a resident of Turkistan who has come to the Holy court of Baba FariduddinGanj e Shakar for being his diciple. However Hazrat Hazrat Baba Fariduddin Ganj Shakar sent him to the court of Hazrat Sabir E Paak Kalyari. Hazrat Khawaja Shamsuddin Turk Panipati came to Kalyar Shareif and became the disciple of Hazrat Sabir e Kalyari who then appointed him as his spiritual successor and thus he become the only successor to Sabir E Paak.
Hazrate Sabir e Paak sent Hazrat Shams to a cave (Crevice in the mountains) for 6 years to recite a wasifa called Habse Dam( which means control of breath). After years he took him out and once again took him into his fold by making him his disciple again and then he blessed him with untold powers and a grand status in the world. Once Hazrate Sabir e Paak asked How many spiritual successors does Hazrate Nizamuddin have? it was answered that he had 14000 successors. He then announced all those 14000 successors were stars while my Shams (SUN), (Hazrate Shamshuddin Turk Panipati) was the only Shams!
This great personality and saint of Islam is close to the shrine of Sabir e Paak. When you make a tour for going to the Holy Courts of Saints in Delhi, Ajmer, Kalyar etc make it a point to visit the Holy courts of Hazrate Shamshuddin Turk Panipati which is about 150 kilometers from kalyar shareif. Initially this shrine and the place around was in the hands of Sikhs for many many years and the shrine was closed for all to visit. But with the blessings of Hazrate Sabir e Paak now the shrine is in the hands of Muslims and has been opened for all to visit. Even a mosque is being built in the compound.

Hey all.
I downloaded WP 2.7 today, installed it following the guide and all went perfect. Was editing the 'Hello World' post, still going perfect.
Then, my friend tried to access the blog and got a 403 forbidden error. I then tried typing in the blog address in a new tab and lo and behold, i get the error to. I tried changing the default theme in my WP Admin in the tab that still works but instead of a preview, i get the 403 error.
Im sure it's something to do with the permissions on my folders / files but i haven't edited them. Also this is a fresh install.
Site is http://matthewjgb.com
Hope someone can help!
Cheers, Matt
EDIT : Also, i have tried this in Firefox 3 and IE7 and both have same error.

If you are new to the site then welcome Be sure to look around and don't hesitate to drop in on the cbox (located at the bottom of the main page) and chat with other members.
First things first you'll want to do some reading and here are some topics to check out...
Crescendo Opening Crawl: You should read this first
(all of the following topics are located in the Guide to Crescendo section as pinned topics)
RP Style Of Crescendo: nice little overview
Godmodding And You: very important topic on godmodding which is NOT allowed
Crescendo- Rules for Roleplaying in 600 ABY: be sure to skim over the rules at least once
Now since Crescendo is set so far in the future, you'll probably want to check out some of the things that have changed in the galaxy. There's a lot out there, so feel free to browse the State of the Galaxy and Technology sections and their various threads for lots of useful info on new starships, governments, etc. Now no one expects you to actually read all of these, however, if you ever need them for reference, they're there for your convenience.
Once you've familiarize yourself with the site, your next step is to post a bio for the character you will be roleplaying with. You'll do this in the Character Entries section. Just click on New Reply below the second green block and a staff member will review you bio and approve it or offer suggestions.
Here is a list of Character Factions. Please be aware that the Sith are in limited numbers
And here is a Character Template to start out with.
You can check some existing character bios here.
Once your bio has been approved by a staff member you are ready to start posting!
Remember, if you have any questions feel free to PM a staff member or post it in the chat box.
