Other Pufferfishs»
This fish probably has more common names than any other fish – in addition to being called the porcupine puffer, it is also called the spiny puffer, hedgehog fish, balloon fish, plus a slew of others. Although it is known for its ability to inflate itself, do not let it do this in the course of catching it. Inflating is a strain on the fish, and is to be avoided if possible.
The fact that the porcupine puffer is found all over the world is probably due to the fact that it is not a good swimmer, and is easily caught in currents. Also, it will eat virtually anything. The teeth are fused into what is usually referred to as a "beak" and with this the porcupine puffer is able to crack the shells of crabs, clams and the like. It has a huge appetite, and needs to be fed at least once a day, or more frequently if possible. Feed it a variety of meaty foods, including some that still have the shell so its beak gets a workout. One of the most endearing qualities of this fish is that it becomes very tame, and will "beg" for food like a puppy dog; be very careful if you finger feed this fellow, as it can do some real damage if it bites you.
This is definitely not a fish for a reef tank. It is best kept either alone in a specimen tank, or with a few other large fish. It will try to eat anything it can. Give it a rock arrangement or a ledge to hang out under, as it is really a nocturnal fish.

The Austrian scientist who helped invent the birth control pill in the 1960's said he regrets the affect it's had on the population.
85-year-old Carl Djerassi expressed remorse in an opinion piece in an Austrian newspaper, according to the Baptist Press.
He also compared the birth rate decline in European countries to an epidemic worse than obesity.
Albert Mohler, the president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, had this to say in a New York Times magazine article back in 2006.
"I cannot imagine any development in human history, after the fall, that has had a greater impact on human beings than the pill," Mohler said.
"I think there could be no question that the pill gave incredible license to everything from adultery and affairs to premarital sex and within marriage to a separation of the sex act and procreation," he explained.

(Scroll down for specific carrier oils)
Carrier oils are so named because they "carry" an essential oil (EO) to the skin. Carrier oils refer to base oils that are used to dilute essential oils before applying them directly to your skin. You'll find by reading below that each carrier oil has different properties which may benefit one person more than another for various reasons ranging from texture and aroma to preventing allergic reactions.
I always label and blend my carrier oils and essential oils in clear plastic bottles that have a pop top for easy use.
Carrier oils are typically cold-pressed oils that are produced from the fatty portions of a specific plant. Carrier oils do not evaporate like Essential Oils (EO's) do, and carrier oils can go rancid where (EO's) will not.
The main carrier oils are listed below: Typically most oils purchased at a grocery store will not be cold-pressed, with the exception of olive oil and a few others (read the label first). Oils that are not cold-pressed have been heated and have a minimal therapeutic effect. The color is the give-away. So when you purchase a carrier oil listed below, make sure they are natural. Health food stores are probably your best bet. The only exception I would make is an oil that has natural Vitamin E (like Wheatgerm Oil) because it acts as natural preservative.
What about Mineral oil? Mineral oil is not used in aromatherapy because they do not penetrate the skin, therefore the EO will not be absorbed. For this specific reason, I do not recommend replacing mineral oil with any other carrier oil, especially when making castor oil packs.

Last season, Hawaiian Canoe Club put a hammer down in the first half of the Hawaiian Canoe Racing Association state championship regatta.
HCC won seven keiki division titles in the first 19 events contested - including four in a row in the boys and girls 16 and 18 races - to propel the club to its 11th state club title in the last 15 years. After the 41-race day was complete, Hawaiian was on top by a comfortable 24-point margin over Hui Nalu.
"That was very important, that was no surprise to us because our keiki work very hard," said Palekana Hett, who won titles at boys 15 and 16 last season. "Getting gold with the 16s (last year), that kind of set me on top because I got to paddle with the older guys and I look up to them."

Hett will compete in the boys 16 and 18 races on Saturday at Keehi Lagoon on Oahu for the HCRA state regatta. It is all part of the next-paddler-up plan at HCC.
"Those older guys, they really push me because I'm a younger guy," said the 6-foot-5 Hett, who will start his senior year at Baldwin High School on Monday. "I think we can hold it again because we have got all 13 (keiki) crews qualified - we are really strong in our keiki division. Our keiki division kind of sets the scores, then our adult division comes and finishes it up."
One year ago, Kihei Canoe Club was third in the AAA Division, one rung below the AAAA Division for the state's largest clubs.
Now, Kihei - infused with the world-class talent of Team Primo men's paddlers from now-dormant Wailea Canoe Club - will be playing with the big clubs on Saturday.
This summer, KCC pushed Hawaiian to its closest county finish in the last decade. HCC has won the last 30 Maui County Hawaiian Canoe Association titles.
"They are pretty strong," Kihei head coach Kawika Williams said of Hawaiian. "But we are ready to go, we are raring to go, actually. Everybody is chomping at the bit, everybody is healthy, everybody looks good right now and everybody is excited."
Hawaiian has a club-record 40 crews in the regatta - after buying three available lanes, the women's novice B crew will be the only race it won't compete in.
"I'm looking at the numbers, I'm looking at the qualifications the last few days," said HCC keiki coach Paul Luuwai, who annually develops a scoresheet with his thoughts on the contending clubs in all 41 races. "Our numbers look really good. We are feeling good about our position. We have 40 crews in 41 races and I cannot ever recall that."
Hui Nalu and Kihei each have 35 crews in the regatta, while Lanikai and Kailua each have 34.
Luuwai's scoresheet has Kihei's Team Primo paddlers sweeping the men's freshman, sophomore, junior and senior events.
"These are the same guys we have been paddling with our whole lives," said Kekoa Cramer, who is the main steersman for the Team Primo contingent. "Whatever the color of the canoe, we just try to paddle hard."
Team Primo paddlers focus their seasons on the long distance portion of the schedule, which begins after state.
"The state regatta is a good measuring stick for everybody," Cramer said.
Hawaiian has been on both sides of the numbers game in the past to win state regattas, so Luuwai is also cautious. After winning its first state crown in 1999 and then seven in a row from 2001 to 2007, HCC has alternated taking state crowns in the last six events, winning in each odd-numbered year.
"You have to be mistake-free, error-free as much as possible because anything can happen," he said. "It's a 41-race series. We have been in the position where we have had less crews before, where we have more crews before - it doesn't make you feel any different. You have to take care of the details."
Luuwai was doing just that Monday as his youth paddlers went through some of their final training at Kahului Harbor.
Noah Garcia, an 8th-grader at Seabury Hall, will paddle in the 12A boys and 12 mixed crews for HCC.
"It will be really important because the keiki races is usually what puts the entire club ahead," Garcia said. "Usually we are really, really good and are able to put our club ahead and the other clubs can't catch up. We really want to give the club a good chance to win."

Mens Golf Three Shots off Lead at Jim West
MCKINNEY, Texas -- The Ball State men's golf team finds itself in contention on a tight leaderboard following Monday's opening 36 holes at the Jim West Intercollegiate.
The Cardinals are three strokes off the lead at 18-over par 594 (294-300) heading into Tuesday's final round at TPC Craig Ranch. Temperatures were in the 70s Monday with winds blowing from 25-35 miles per hour and making for a challenging finish down the stretch.
UALR tops the 11-team field at 15-over 591, while five other teams are within seven strokes of the lead. Vanderbilt, the nation's No. 36 team, sits in second place, one stroke ahead of Ball State, which is ranked No. 46 by Golfweek and No. 53 by Golfstat.
Tyler Merkel leads the Cardinals individually in a tie for fifth place. Merkel, who carded an even-par opening round, finished day one at 3-over 147 (72-75). The junior from Evansville, Ind., is four strokes behind Bryce Emory of Northern Illinois, who leads the way at 1-under par.

Spanish Customs
CustomsQuestion: I've moved from the UK to Spain, but some of my stuff is still in England. It looks like the easiest/cheapest way to get some of that stuff is to send it to me using a carrier like DHL. One of these items is worth £1,400. Will Spanish customs try and charge IVA (Spanish sales tax on it) as if it was an eBay purchase, or similar, even though I already own it and have paid VAT (UK sales tax) when I bought it. I have documentation.

GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCES INCREASE IN ADF FORCES IN AFGHANISTAN Today, the Government announced a decision to enhance its military and civilian commitment to Afghanistan and specifically its intent to strengthen the capacity of the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF).
These additional force elements will increase Australia's troop contribution to Afghanistan to approximately 1550 Australian Defence Force personnel. This increase represents an effective and sustainable contribution in Afghanistan to coalition efforts while allowing us to expand
on our current operations.
Australia views this development as the cornerstone of a successful counter-insurgency strategy and key to ensuring an enduring satisfactory level of security in Afghanistan.
Afghan ownership and leadership remain pre-requisites for success. This is why Australia has evolved and increased its military contribution to increase the focus on training and mentoring the Afghan National Army (ANA).
This enhanced commitment will see an increase in operational capability and logistics support to the Mentoring and Reconstruction Task Force as well as a short term commitment to assist with security during the upcoming Afghanistan elections.
The increased contribution will be made up of:
o two additional Operational Mentor and Liaison teams (OMLTs) of approximately 100 personnel;
o additional personnel for our current Mentoring and Reconstruction Task Force efforts of approximately 70 personnel;
o an increase to the number of HQ embedded staff by approximately 70 personnel.
o an enhanced engineering element of approximately 40 personnel; and
o an Election Support Force of approximately 120 personnel.
o an additional 50 personnel consisting of logistics and transport specialists, including one additional C-130 aircraft and support crew, will get the new elements of the force established in Afghanistan.
This decision to increase Australia's troop contribution to Afghanistan will provide the Australian Defence Force with the necessary resources to support this strategy to good effect.

The finish line is right around the corner and on Monday night's Dancing with the Stars, the four remaining pairs competed with an unprecedented three dances each for one of three spots in next week's finale.
Donny Osmond and partner Kym Johnson started the night off on the wrong foot with a sloppy tango. "It was a catasrophe," head judge Len Goodman said. "You completely lost it," Bruno Toniolio added. Donny knew he'd tripped up, saying, "the worse thing that could happen happened." He blamed his missteps on spotting his sister Marie Osmond in the audience. He earned just 21 points.
Things improved for Osmond, who did a "carefree, fun" samba, according to Bruno, that got him 26 points for the secound round. "You've come out strong," Len said. "You've come out determined." For their final dance, Osmond and Kym performed a high-energy jitterbug and Carrie Ann told him, "You've got your mojo back!" For that, he got 27 points.
Joanna Krupa and her partner Derek Hough glided into the semi-finals with an elegant Viennese waltz. Bruno compared it to "angels in heaven," while Carrie Ann said, "I've seen you grow into this amazing statuesque beauty." They earned 27 points.
Their second dance was the cha cha. Len told Joanna, "It was clean; it was crisp; it had great rhythm." Noting that she wasn't a dancer before joining DWTS, Bruno said Joanna's "achieving the standard that you have is quite amazing." They earned another 27 points. Their final performance, a salsa, also got them 27 points and another range of compliments, including an endorsement from Carrie Ann, who said, "I'd love to see you in the finals."
Kelly Osbourne was the third star to hit the floor and she and Louis van Amstel kicked things off with a rumba. "You brought me to tears," Carrie Ann said when they were done. "You have a magical quality. You reach right into my heart." Bruno wanted to "commend you for attempting such difficult positions," which earned them 24 points.
Their second dance was a quickstep. Bruno called her "Speedy Gonzalez" and a "twinkling, twinkling star," while Len said, "That was totally beyond my expectations ... You absolutely blow me away." They earned 27 points in the second round. They nailed their final dance, the cha cha, and scooped up another 27 points. "You've danced three dances all to a very high level," Len said. Carrie Ann's assessment: "You've had such a great night. Great job."
Hoping for more perfect scores this week, Mya and her partner Dmitry Chaplin began with a waltz that had "romance, elegance" and was "an absolute joy to watch," according to Len. Carrie Ann said she loved it too, but told the pair they were "slightly not connected in your pose." They earned 28 points.
Their next dance, however, was perfect, earning 10s from all the judges. Bruno had one word for their salsa: "Sensational!" Carrie Ann said they were "hot beyond belief," and admired their "totally difficult choreography." Len said, "You should be in the finally next week."
Ending the show, they danced a cha cha and Len said he was "disappointed because I wanted it to go on a bit longer." Bruno had a similar sentiment, saying their brief turn was "like an action packed trailer for a blockbuster," and he wanted to see "the whole picture." They earned 28 points and a spot on top of the leader board.

Philippe Couillard said capturing the three escaped prisoners who escaped from the Orsainville penitentiary by helicopter near Quebec City is the top priority for his government.
Once that is done, he said the province will look at the conditions that allowed the three men to escape in the first place.
The government has to look at "elements like the level of security inside the jail as well as how air traffic is monitored above our institutions," he said.
The three men - Serge Pomerleau, 49, Denis Lefebvre, 53 and Yves Denis, 35 -- are on the SQ's most wanted list.
The three were arrested on drug trafficking and gangsterism charges, and may face murder charges as well.
Couillard also said that he would be going to Moncton tomorrow to attend the funeral services of the three Mounties who were shot and killed last week, including that of Victoriaville native Dave Ross.
Couillard said he has not yet spoken to the Ross family, but added that he will speak to them tomorrow and extend condolences on behalf of all Quebecers.
"I've spoken also to the Premier of New Brunswick [David Alward] conveying to him our deepest sympathy," he said. "And I expect to be there to share the grief."
Government flags will be at half-staff across the province.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper is also expected at the ceremonies tomorrow.

It's not often that a driver in NASCAR's top series is as dominant as Jimmie Johnson was last week at Texas Motor Speedway.
"Usually when you have a car that strong, you find a way to mess it up and not pull into victory lane," said Johnson, who led 255 of 334 laps to regain the points lead in the Chase for the Sprint Cup.
"So I was really happy to see it through and close the deal at the end and get the car to victory lane. But it doesn't happen often. The car was flawless."
MORE: Earnhardt needs to win | Gordon still reeling | Kenseth's last championship | Jimmie tired of haters
With his sixth win of the season, Johnson carries a seven-point lead over Matt Kenseth into Sunday's race at Phoenix International Raceway.
With two wins in his last six races and six top-fives in the Chase, Johnson should have plenty of momentum with just two races remaining. But no one knows better than the five-time champion how quickly that momentum can disappear.
Johnson also carried a seven-point lead into the Phoenix race last year, but blew a tire and crashed. As a result, Brad Keselowski left Phoenix with a 20-point lead and wrapped him his first Cup championship when Johnson had more problems in the season finale.
PHOTOS: 2013 winners | Best Chase battles | Best zingers
"I'm just not going to put my guard down," Johnson said, recalling last year's late-Chase problems. "We need to go into Phoenix (and) race well. We finished second there in the spring, so we feel strong about our setup and the performance we should have there, but that doesn't guarantee us anything, and we need to go out and have a good strong, clean weekend."
Momentum, Johnson said, might be significant in other sports, but it doesn't mean much in racing, where a flat tire, a blown engine or a wreck can change everything.
"Momentum is nice, and we're happy to have it. But I've been doing this long enough where I realize that momentum doesn't guarantee a thing," he said. "… It's been a nice, comfortable week, but the pressure cooker will start up there Friday morning when we're on track."
And just because he has won five championships — five straight from 2006-2010 — doesn't mean that Johnson and his No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports team are immune from that pressure and the stress that comes with it.
"We're not immune. We're human and deal with all the same stress that anybody competing for a championship goes through," he said. "I feel that through the years of winning championships we learn how to manage stress much better and find a way to enjoy the pressure and enjoy the stress.
"We've lost some interesting close championship battles which have been interesting character builders … but we're not immune."
A look at which championship contender has the edge at Phoenix, and who else they may have to deal with:
Jimmie Johnson — Johnson and Kenseth entered Texas seemingly on even terms given past history. Not so at Phoenix, where Johnson has a distinct advantage. He has four wins at Phoenix, all from 2007-09 on the track's old configuration, and an average finish of 6.4 in 20 races. He has not run quite as well since the track was reconfigured in 2011, but he did finish second there in the spring. Three of his four wins came in the fall Chase race, his crash last year notwithstanding.
Matt Kenseth — Kenseth's record at Phoenix is not nearly as impressive, but with a championship on the line expect his team to step up and contend. He has one win there, but it came way back in 2002. Overall, he has just five top-five and nine top-10 finishes in 22 starts for an average finish of 17.2. He has just two top-10s in his last six races there and finished seventh in the spring. The one positive note for Kenseth: He won the Chase race at New Hampshire, a similar 1-mile flat track where he typically struggles.
Kevin Harvick — Remember when Harvick practically stole this race last year a few days after news broke that he was leaving Richard Childress Racing after this season? He now has just two races remaining with RCR and is coming off another controversy — his run-in with team owner Richard Childress and his grandsons, Austin and Ty Dillon, two weeks ago at Martinsville. Third in points (40 behind Johnson), Harvick has three wins at Phoenix and has finished first and second in two of the last three races.
Carl Edwards — Edwards got off to a strong start this season by winning at Phoenix in the second race of the season. He led 122 laps and held off Johnson for his second Phoenix win. His other victory this season came at Richmond, showing that he has a handle on the flat, short tracks.
Denny Hamlin — Yes, I know we've been saying this all season, but Phoenix represents yet another track where Hamlin could put his struggles of 2013 behind him and recapture the magic of past seasons. No driver has a better recent record at Phoenix than Hamlin, who has finished first, second and third in the last three races there. He led 61 laps to win there in the spring of 2012 and led again in this race last year.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. — Earnhardt has two wins at Phoenix (2003-04) but scored just one top-10 finish from 2009-2012. But then he led 47 laps and finished fifth this spring. He was leading late in the race until a late miscue on pit road cost him track position. With three runnerup finishes in his last six races, Earnhardt is itching for a win.
Bob Pockrass: Dale Earnhardt Jr. Considering I'm on a roll having picked Jeff Gordon at Martinsville and Jimmie Johnson at Texas, it's my duty to help the sport by picking Dale Earnhardt Jr. And that's not a bad pick. Earnhardt led 47 laps in March until he got boxed in on a pit stop with 78 laps to go and it killed his track position. He has confidence at Phoenix so don't just say he's destined for a season where he'll finish second plenty of times (five overall this year and three times in the last six races) but never win.
Jeff Owens: Jimmie Johnson. Unlike Pockrass, I haven't gotten one right all season. So either I'm playing it safe and will finally pick the winner, or I'll jinx Johnson and we'll have a close championship race going into Homestead. Either way, everyone will be happy — except, of course, the Jimmie haters.

The Missouri Valley conference men's basketball tournament will remain in St. Louis through at least 2018.
St. Louis will host what's become known as "Arch Madness" for the 25th straight year in March.
The Valley announced Wednesday that St. Louis has also been awarded the 2016-18 tournaments and that it has an option to extend its deal with the city through 2020.
League Commissioner Doug Elgin says the Valley targeted St. Louis, Kansas City, Chicago, Indianapolis and Las Vegas as prospective host cities before choosing to keep the tournament in St. Louis.
The Valley's stay in St. Louis is the second longest for a neutral site tournament, trailing only the Big East's tenure in New York City

VINELAND – Managers at Applebee's on Delsea Drive were forced to call the police on Feb. 10 after an unruly customer allegedly threatened to burn the place down when denied a refund for a meal he ate days earlier.
Jose Martinez Jr., 50, of 5th Street, in Millville, entered the restaurant Monday night complaining about his Applebee's experience that previous Saturday. Specifically, according to police, he did not enjoy his meal and he didn't appreciate the way he was treated by staff.
Managers told Martinez that he cannot be reimbursed for a meal that was eaten days before, which, police said, enraged him.
Martinez allegedly responded with "several disturbing comments" that included threatening to burn the restaurant down.
The managers called the police as he left the area and headed toward Millville. He was located in the Holly City and placed under arrest for two counts of terroristic threats.
He was released on a summons.

Just the Beginning
Brundage Snow Blog
December 21, 2012 by Cory Whitney
On the supposed last day of existence; we gain perspective. Perspective on what we have to be grateful for.
For instance:
Powder, one of the natural wonders of the world.
Soft smooth corduroy, arguably the second best creation of man (after high speed detachable chairlifts).
More snow in the forecast and a great early start to the ski season.
Here is what we experienced out and about on the mountain, on the not-so-last-day of existence.
So not to fear. The end did not come, but rather, the beginning of a wonderful season is upon us. Let us celebrate and let's be honest: if this is the end, this is exactly how I would want to go.
See you soon.

When Auburn won its only Section III Class A championship in 2001, it beat Liverpool to do so. Every year since then, the Maroons have been unable to get to the finals, while West Genesee reclaimed the throne and have held on to it ever since.
Seven long years later, if Auburn wants championship no. 2, it must get through the mighty program it never even beat on the field in 32 years of trying until this spring. It makes for a compelling tale.
They got there through hard work tonight at Coyne Field in the Class A semifinals. First, Auburn used a ferocious defense to get past Baldwinsville 6-4. Then WG applied many of the same principles to earn a 9-6 win over Fayetteville-Manlius.
Auburn had gone through weeks of wondering why its defense didn't quite live up to the way it had played early this season. It nearly cost them the Class A quarterfinal against Central Square, where a big early lead got away and it took a last-minute goal to pull through.
Against Baldwinsville, no such rally was required. Right from the opening face-off, the Maroons mixed up man-to-man with zone looks and took charge, making the Bees wish that Billy Ward wasn't injured on the sidelines.
Ryan Button, Brendan Lewis and Brendan O'Connor form a formidable back line, and Kevin Dyer gives up nothing cheap in the net. Together, they found that early-season toughness that kept B'ville off the board for more than 17 minutes at the start.
By then, Auburn already had a 4-0 lead. Though the offense wasn't specatcular, and cooled down in the second half, at least it didn't lean too much on one player. Connor Entenmann scored twice, but Matt Hoey, Mike Fandich, Andrew Chadderdon and Bob Brannigan also found the net, which is an encouraging sign.
That sort of balance, and great effort, will be required for the Maroons against West Genesee. When it achieved that historic first win against the Wildcats on April 29, Ryan Barber and Mike Fetterly were still on the sidelines, healing, and Luke Cometti was carrying too much of the offensive load.
Obviously, that's not the case now. WG is healthy, and didn't even need its best form against F-M - a team playing with deep emotion after head coach Chris Kenneally's father, Edmund, passed away a couple of days ago after a long illness. The entire Hornet team wore "EK" patches on their helmets.
Caring little for sentimentality, the Wildcats roared to a 7-1 lead by the third quarter with all the usual hallmarks of the dynasty - timely attacks and, most obviously, a fierce resistance. Joe Fazio, Jack Conboy and Ben Waldron were in top form, as was goalie Steve Mahle. And Fetterly, with something to prove after missing the team's quarterfinal win over Liverpool, picked up two goals and three assists.
It will be quite the chess game Thursday night, with two terrific defenses that could make every goal valuable. Auburn's title in 2001 was nice - but doing it now, against their long-time nemesis, would be even more special.

Indigenous Peoples Discuss REDD+ at BMZ/FCPF/UN-REDD Workshop
17 September 2013: The German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the Forest Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF), and the UN Collaborative Programme on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries (UN-REDD), have convened a meeting of indigenous peoples to discuss their participation in REDD+.
The meeting, held in Weilburg, Germany, from 10-12 September, 2013, discussed practical approaches to ensure the full and effective participation of indigenous peoples in REDD+ given that the cultures and livelihoods of approximately 60 million indigenous peoples around the world are dependent on forests.
Participants identified a number of barriers to participation, including: lack of inclusion in decision-making; gaps in capacity; and poor recognition of the potential contribution of indigenous peoples and their importance as a stakeholder group.
The workshop highlighted the importance of engaging indigenous peoples in a meaningful way in order to move from consultation to collaborative decision-making throughout the REDD+ design and implementation process. [World Bank Press Release] [BMZ Press Release]

For Women Who Want The Ballerific Life!
We can't confirm for sure but judging from recent photos of Russell Westbrook and his fiancee Nina Earl in Maui, it looks like there may be a little bun in the oven. Right now it's just a rumor but let's keep Nina on bump watch, shall we?
What do we know about Nina Earl? She was a med student at UCLA & played college basketball for on a scholarship. UCLA is also where she met Russell. She is currently studying for her Masters in Psychology. Definitely sounds like a keeper!
So take a look at the pictures. Should we put Nina on bump watch?
If they're indeed expecting, I'm here for it. They're adorable. Congrats!

From: rdflowers ------------------------------------------------------ I can ( and will if needed ) find a flood of information, a third of it wrong, on these topics, but I thought I would try to get information from the fine Chugalug folks first. I found a 7" Jazz Ultratab for $38.xx at Office Depot. It runs Android 4.0 Icecream Sandwich, with an upgrade ( if you register it ) to 4.1 Jelly Bean. Is this a worthwhile upgrade, even if it forces me to register? Can I root it without getting a Gg account and going through the app store? Where do I find compilers and such that target Android, and whatever else I would need to dev play w/ this tablet w/o seriously endangering it? Can I / should I upgrade it to Android 4.3 ? Someone send me a clue-tap toward decent documentation on this tablet and/or on Android 4.X ? Regards, RD -- R. D. Flowers, Chattanooga, TN, USA http://chalice.us/poe/
=============================================================== From: Jon Stanford ------------------------------------------------------ I cant help with rooting that tablet specifically but I can offer some dev insite. Yes you can write apps for it without root. Period for all Android devices. Android uses a fork of java. Yes JellyBean (JB) is a dramatic improvement over Ice cream sandwitch (ICS). If your going to write apps for it you should checkout Intellij IDEA (google it, the community edition is amazing and free). Android studio (Google's official dev environment is a fork of the community edition) is amazing. The biggest benefit of rooting a device is having the ability to install a custom ROM (shameless plug, AOKP is the best custom ROM available). The benefit is you can get the latest (4.3 as you mentioned) android version with lots of extra features that OEMs didnt bother to write from a community of devs... once you have a custom ROM (especially one with lots of user space options like AOKP) you will be spoiled and always root/rom your devices. Its kinda like windoze to linux you'll never go back. As for rooting it... find the board name and google how to root and *usually* you can find a solution. But let us know your results/trials I might be able to help along the way.
=============================================================== From: Chad Smith ------------------------------------------------------ Is there a AOKP for a SmartQ X7? :) *- Chad W. Smith*
=============================================================== From: Jon Stanford ------------------------------------------------------ No sorry I asked the guys we don't support that device. I don't know about having to register seems they may have the links up on their site... but I can't confirm because my net connection is failing me (DAMN YOU COMCAST!!!) but check these for the updates: http://en.smartdevice.com.cn/Support/Downloads/X7/ http://en.smartdevice.com.cn/Support/Downloads/X7/Firmware/201302/21-220.html I actually can't find any from source developed ROMs for this device. xda has one that but it just removes the chinese apks. I'll keep looking for more but I also can't find a device tree to build it anywhere on github :(
=============================================================== From: Chad Smith ------------------------------------------------------ That is cool. Thank you. I have that firmware installed. It works fine. I just wanted the 4.3. >. No sorry I asked the guys we don't support that device. I don't know

JanuaryThe correct answer is C. E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.The image was inspired by the 1982 movie directed by Steven Spielberg that starred Henry Thomas, Drew Barrymore and Dee Wallace.
Jeanne Carley remembers, "Angus was one of the sweetest ferrets I ever met, and he just looked the part here. I originally had a street scene as a background with houses behind the boy and E.T., but my graphic designer suggested an aerial view. I think it looks great. The perspective on the boy and ferret is really believable, part of the hard work I do to get it right."
Back To The Quiz >>
FebruaryThe correct answer is A. Aladdin.The image was inspired by the 1992 animated movie from Walt Disney pictures. Robin Williams provided the voice of the genie.
Jeanne Carley remembers, "I had to watch the movie again because it is so funny. I'd forgotten about the armbands so had to make those last minute from gold ribbon to have the ferret wear them, which was not easy. But the most difficult prop was the small genie lamp. Fortunately, after a search on the Internet, I found the perfect one."
MarchThe correct answer is D. The Cat In The Hat.The image was inspired by the 2003 movie adapted from the Dr. Seuss book. It starred Mike Myers, Dakota Fanning and Spencer Breslin.
Jeanne Carley remembers, "Thankfully this little guy's owner could sew! She helped fashion his outfit, and it looks great. The fish tank was of course way too big, so I had to scale that down in Photoshop. This little ferret's expression is priceless, and that is something you cannot buy!"
AprilThe correct answer is D. Star Wars: Episode VI – Return Of The Jedi.The image was inspired by the 1983 movie written by George Lucas and Lawrence Kasdan. It starred Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher.
Jeanne Carley remembers, "This angora ferret was my inspiration for the Ewok in this shot. I had a terrific forest background that I zoom-blurred in Photoshop. I had to use a half lampshade to make his cruiser, there just wasn't anything ready-made. I also had to buy a toy and break off the handle bars to add to my lampshade cruiser, which I hand-painted in cammo for the perfect effect. The Ewok outfit was also made by hand. Thankfully those little guys did not dress all that fancy, and I was able to make [the costume] myself with felt and buttons."
MayThe correct answer is B. Dances With Wolves.The image was inspired by the 1990 movie directed by and starring Kevin Costner.
Jeanne Carley remembers, "I loved photographing these guys as silhouettes. I think they look great, especially the tiny baby ferret looking up at the screen. I also turned some photos from my May Pole shot years ago into lovely dancing silhouettes for this shot. Since I cannot sew, the curtains were pinned, there's not a stitch anywhere in that scene, just lots of straight pins."
JuneThe correct answer is B. The Mummy (1932).The image was inspired by the 1932 movie The Mummy, which starred Boris Karloff. It was directed by Karl Freund.
Jeanne Carley remembers, "This is Angus again who was so good to let me cover him in vet wrap. Of course I did have to entice him with some snacks. The small sarcophagus props I found for the background were just terrific and even included a small mummy. I made the 'cave' using a special textured material from an art shop that I then sculpted and painted."
JulyThe correct answer is C. Patton.The image was inspired by the 1970 movie starring George C. Scott.
Jeanne Carley remembers, "The hardest part of this shot was finding the tiny US Arm helmet! G.I. Joe stuff is just too small, but this turned up on eBay so I bought it. It was the perfect size for Tazzy who did the perfect Patton pose."
AugustThe correct answer is D. Jurassic Park.The image was inspired by the 1993 movie adapted from a book by Michael Crichton and directed by Steven Spielberg. It starred Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Joseph Mazzello and Ariana Richards.
Jeanne Carley remembers, "These little guys were photographed years and years ago, and the little cages said 'Circus' on them. The expression on the last one's face told me I had to put something really scary behind him, so I went on the hunt for T-Rex and found a great toy model. I did rotate his eyes downward so it looks like he's really fixated on the little ferret."
SeptemberThe correct answer is B. Top Gun.The image was inspired by the 1986 movie starring Tom Cruise, Kelly McGillis, Val Kilmer and Anthony Edwards. It was directed by Tony Scott.
Jeanne Carley remembers, "Fortunately I found a background shot with Navy planes not Air Force ones. There's no way I could have had a better Tom Cruise pose than what I got from this little sable in his flight jacket. He looks the part, very cocky."
OctoberThe correct answer is C. GhostBusters.The image was inspired by the 1984 movie directed by Ivan Reitman that starred Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Sigourney Weaver.
Jeanne Carley remembers, "The toughest part of this shot was the pose. I really needed this ferret's face and hands to be in certain positions, so I had to use three different parts of the same ferret from three different shots. Often I'll use parts of one shot in another, but generally it doesn't take three to get one. In this case it did, but he's taken the perfect pose for Ghostbusters."
NovemberThe correct answer is B. The Wizard Of Oz.The image was inspired by the 1939 movie that starred Judy Garland, Ray Bolger, Jack Haley and Bert Lahr.
Jeanne Carley remembers, "Fortunately I have a friend that owns all three of these perfect little models, and you really do need a silver mitt for the Tin Man, a chocolate for the Lion and a sable for the Scarecrow. The lion's mane was originally strips of felt, but he looked too Rastafarian, so we went with the terrific feather boa my friend brought. The Tin Man's hat is a small funnel painted silver."
DecemberThe correct answer is A. How The Grinch Stole Christmas.The image was inspired by the 2000 movie adapted from a Dr. Seuss book and directed by Ron Howard. Jim Carrey starred as the Grinch.
Jeanne Carley remembers, "I love the expression on this little guy's face and the way he's holding the town in the globe hostage. He was the perfect Grinch. Though he was white, Photoshop turned him green!"
