People are retarded. It takes TIME for the Third World impoverished to learn how to farm, for the crops to grow, for the businesses to get set up and for the kids to get their education. In the meantime, they need food and medicine, ne? Also remember that the human brain CANNOT learn without proper nutrition!!! Just giving kids breakfast before school increases their learning! Men not only need to learn how to fish, but they need fish until they can catch them themselves.

So the point is that $200 can go a long way towards both FEEDING families and EDUCATING them to become more self-sufficient.

Just because the OLPC isn't a good idea doesn't mean its detractors are heartless monsters.

Dear Prof Posner,

I believe there are some underlying assumptions in your case against OLPC. I might ramble and digress a bit, but let me take a stab. Most of this would be India specific, but may apply to other countries as well.

1. Are services Mutually Exclusive? Are these others cost efficient?
 "What would a computer scientist think that poor children need that they currently lack? Food, medicine, clean water? Or maybe a laptop computer?"
 Are these mutually exclusive? Does delivering clean water exclude food? Delivering education doesn't exclude any of those. There are other people working on those areas. Why should everyone work in delivering food, medicine, clean water and nothing else?

Besides, these services are resource intensive and not cost efficient. Hundreds of billions of dollars have been spent by Govt over a period of decades and nothing was accomplished on this front. The cost benefits of delivering these services to villages doesn't look good. New cities need to be built to bring in efficiencies of scale.

2. Prerequisite: Ability to read
 .. "but one would think that a prerequisite for learning to learn is being able to read what's on the screen"

Most kids enroll in school, but they drop-out and they would meet the ability to read prerequisite that you mention.

"Of the estimated population of 205 million in the age group 6-14 years on March 1, 2002, nearly 82.5 per cent was enrolled in schools. However, drop out in 2002-03 at the primary level was 34.9 per cent and at the upper primary level, it was 52.8 per cent." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literacy_in_India

Kids drop-off because the curriculum is most uninteresting and parents find no value in that kind of education. A lot of parents are more than willing to pay for quality education, but Govt's have a vice-like grip on education and do not allow private players. I'm sure you are aware that all information channels to people are controlled by Govts. The primary information delivery mechanism is education. Private players and freedom of information (access to thousands of books, instead of 8 - 10 Govt propaganda!) doesn't auger well for the Govt.

Next, there are other technological efforts in making people literate. Take a look at Same Language Subtitling.

3. Naive understanding of Govts
 "the education ministries are perfectly capable of evaluating the different products, and if they prefer Intel's, they should not buy OLPC laptops"
 I believe your understanding of Govts is naive (so is OLPCs!). Govts are least bothered about education, literacy and such. Their sacred duty is steal money as efficiently as possible. Why do you think almost all money is spent in defense, irrigation projects and such? They have established efficient workflows to transfer money from those transactions. Intel's laptops and others would be favored, because there would be kickbacks to the officials. Say, Intel goes to an education minister and says, here is a laptop, lets charge it $400, you get back $100 (cash, no direct-deposit or mail-in rebate!), education minister would love that. Say, Negroponte goes to the same minister, talks passionately about education and all that, it won't work. There is no incentive for the minister. Surely, you know the power of incentives. Negroponte is too naive. It would have been a remarkable success if he offered the OLPC at $1000 and gave a margin of $600 to the minister. We would have seen it deployed everywhere.

The ministry of education in India said OLPC is pedagogically suspect. Of course, Govts are always suspicious of projects that give them little room to steal.

I feel that Negroponte should have taken a different route, like the one taken by Tesla Motors, build something cool and froody for the richest and then figure out how to make it cost efficient down the line. First, build a laptop for US children. It is going to sell easily in US, considering that US Govt spends about $1200/month/kid. Then, it would have been an easy sell to third world countries. "Look! Every kid in US has this laptop! We should get one too to become like US!"

 4. Assumption about what children would do in future
 "Most of the children in places like Mali grow up to be subsistence farmers"
 In abt 2 - 3 decades, there won't be any water in majority of India to do farming. -- http://technology.newscientist.com/article/mg18925401.500

 5. Assumptions about education

"What is the sense of introducing one laptop per child when they don't have seats to sit down and learn, when they don't have uniforms to go to school in, when they don't have facilities?"
 Precisely the reason why countries should invest in OLPC. There will always be a scarcity of resources to invest on these not so useful things. Do we stop investing in textbooks when there is no furniture available?

Also, how do uniform and chairs/tables relate to education? Is there a correlation between learning and uniform? Is there a causation?

That one needs to be taught stuff in schools by a teacher (who knows stuff) is deeply rooted in Christian theology, delivering God's knowledge to the masses. Kids learn much faster on their own, by interacting with the environment and other people. Unfortunately, this rapid learning process is killing by the school-teacher teaching methodology. Kids lose all capacity to learn, think and be creative.

You are obviously an educated person, but I don't think you understand the philosophy of the OLPC Foundation. It is not about laptop machines it is about education.

Education is a big part of the solution, and in some cases the entire solution to most of the developing world's problems, be it poverty, peace, pollution, political unrest, global warming, etc.

The OLPC is not designed for Darfur --- Only God and Jimmy Carter can help them. They need food and shelter before they can think of eucation.

The OLPC is for emerging countries exactly like Peru where there is some food, educational infrastructure, and stability but a lack of educational resources.

Brazil pays $20US/year for crappy textbooks. The OLPC can hold 500-1000 textbooks and an OLPC school server 100x that.

In the Peru pilot, providing OLPCs brought children back into the school system.

50% of the world's children live in rural areas that lack electricity in the home. the current Intel machines and alternatives won't work for them due to power consumption requirements --- although the OLPC hopes they will fix this.

As for your examples:

 $20 Buys enough maize to feed a family of four in the Rift Valley of Ethiopia for six months. (This is the job of the UN and World Food Fund. Italy is funding OLPCs for Ethiopia)

 $30 Buys books to help 10 girls in Afghanistan learn to read and write. ($3 per book; OLC 500 books/$200=$2.50 per book, but they can be updated over the internet to always be current and tailored to the curriculum, even if weaving or road construction is the curriculum)

 $50 Grows substantially more crops in a region of scarce resources, harsh terrain, and prevalent malnutrition in Peru.(education will allow them to apply and customize food production techniques to dramatically increase the economic efficiency of food production)

 $100 Provides a young student living in poverty in Mali with the vocational training and financial support necessary to start her own weaving business.(ibid)

 $200 Provides disaster preparedness training and technical support to two families in El Salvador.(ibid)

Applications are being developed for TB sputum testing via plug-in microscope to an OLPC and electronic transmission via internet to pathologist anywhere in the world. Like wise for Malaria blood testing. Think about that.

Again --- Education is a big part of the solution, and in some cases the entire solution to most of the developing world's problems. If you give a person a fish, they can eat for a day; if you teach a person to fish ...

The importance of a profit margin that establishes a value chain cannot be understated. Local entrepreneurs--who have a vested interest in making sure that systems are up and running, maintained, and repaired when broken--create local wealth and opportunity as well as providing a platform that helps educate the kids. Look at NComputing's virtual desktop products and business model. It is working everywhere from the FYR of Macedonia to North Carolina, and about 70 countries in between.

There are some wrong assumptions there:

1-That the OLPC product is inferior to a normal laptop. It's subjective, but it has some features that puts gives it competitive advantage when comparing with any "for-profit" laptop

2-That a laptop bought from a "real computer manufacturer" would suffice. There was not a laptop in such a price point before OLPC announced it's own, and maybe there never would be. Also the focus on low power consumption instead of higher processing power helped benefit the whole industry. The MIT is a research institute, not simple charitable organization. The greatest donation of OLPC was MIT brainpower.

3-That a laptop should be low in a country priority. Of course other infrastructure investment, such as roads are equivalent important, but education, access to information, ability to collaborate and communicate is not to be underestimated.

Not all third world nations are alike and I think there needs to be a distinction made here when talking about OLPC

I think the target for OLPC is not poverty-stricken nations like Mali but rather developing nations which has enough social infrastructure to support laptops in the classroom, hence the target being education ministries. The goal is not to combat poverty but rather give the next generation a leg up in crossing the so-called digital divide.

OLPC has been key in spurring Intel to develop their Classmate competitor, but as is the case with almost every non-profit I've dealt with, as soon as competition enters, they throw a hissy fit and look for the UN or the government to referee. People in non-profits have this terrible mentality that they are doing good (they are - mostly) but only they can do it and only they are doing it for "goodness sake". Frankly, it's insufferable.

Word to the wise, if a resume crosses your desk and the most recent posting is a non-profit - Pass.

While I have my doubts on OLPC and their model, I do believe that OLPC has done what few other companies have done. At a time when the PC's were selling for $1000 or more, OLPC announced (though without doing due diligence) a $100 Notebook. It caused a paradigm shift which has brought us to a level where you have Intel Class Mate PC's & Asus EeePC's which are all in the sub $300 range.

OLPC also has developed technologies, which will be of terrific use in the coming years.

So we should do give credit where it is due.

This not about selling a $100 notebook (incidentally it is up at $200 now)to the poor children, but to move a HUGE segment of the population from dire poverty a few steps up - and giving them a vision of what they could be doing. To do that, one cannot operate in a silo mode, but work together with the Governments, build content, build an ecosystem of local partners who will deliver the content, and with other agencies .These as a team need to help oversee the next steps to get these students experience technology and move up the value chain.

Technology does play a key part in helping peoples lives.

There are some of us that believe an idea is more important than a physical object. This notion even spawned a movement... they call it the "Information Age".

You're not seriously suggesting we give a man a fish?

The OLPC is completely sufficient for its purposes (in my mind, systematically combating poverty and injustice), particularly when you see the google's webapps overtaking microsofts apps; and wikipedia the equal of britannica in accuracy, not to mention blogs and other media hosting sites. and it all makes sense because the third world is quick to build wireless networks - which is why everyone has a cell phone.

what Intel did is immoral.

I think you're missing the point, Eric.

It is a mistake to compare the OLPC to the computer you have sitting there on your desk. The aim was to create a computing device that addressed a specific set of needs, not a traditional "personal computer."

Engineers meet challenges like this all of the time; take for instance the Tivo, which is nothing more than an underpowered PC running a customized version of Linux. According to you, I shouldn't have purchased my Tivo because it is a "worse" computer than a traditional desktop computer. But darn it, try as I might, as much as I point my remote control at my desktop computer, it never does record Law and Order for me. Hmm...

So let's get this straight: your position is that it's better to buy people fish than teach them how to fish? That it's better to have a school and uniforms than to have learning? Have you even looked at the OLPC's feature set? It's really cool - I'd much rather have an OLPC than one of those Intel laptops. The main advantage of the Intel laptop is that it runs Windows, which presumably is how OLPC has been FUDded out of those contracts you mentioned.

Sure, the free market is a great thing, but sometimes someone has to think outside the box, and Intel isn't doing it in this case. IMHO Negroponte's big mistake is that he isn't trying to fund the OLPC project out of commercial sales.

The statement "OLPC has few features" is ill-founded. The review that you linked to, specifically, evaluates the OLPC's merits on criteria like web-surfing and online video rendering. The XOs are designed to be educational tools more than an internet browser, and the reviewer would have done well to explore some of the laptop's other features (of which there are many). The reviewer was comparing the OLPC to a modern laptop, that he wanted for watching videos on youtube, which is not an intended use of the XO.

For example, and this ties to the "laptops without ISPs" comment, the XOs are connected together with a mesh network such that two (or more) laptops in range will have communications between themselves even in the absence of a connection to the world wide web. For kids wishing to interact with each other, this is arguably enough. Morover, when one of those computers is connected to the internet, it is as if both of them are.

"The last word should go to Nigeria's education minister, Igwe Aja-Nawachuku. Nigeria initially ordered $100 million of OLPC laptops, but later canceled the order."

If you do a bit of research you can see the international pressure going on there. Oh, and they realized that if children have computers and can communicate with each other, people will realize how Nigera's government is screwing people on the oil issue. This quote supports the value of an OLPC, because in the end it will be come an uncontrollable voice for whatever people think is important to them. :)

I guess it is best if we 'provide' food and not resources to foster independence? The OECD in a report I read almost a decade back on what was then called the digital divide, clearly stated that in their opinion that the access to safe drinking water and basic education for women were the two priorities for the OECD in terms of balancing the digital divide. There is no question what is important. But why stop there? If there are organizations trying to meet these needs, we should and do support them. There are also other needs, such as learning. Many of these countries do not have the ability to develop first language learning materials, let alone print and distribute them. Many do not have an encyclopedia or knowledge base in their first language (which wikipedia is working towards helping with). Most do not have access to the tools to share their stories with themselves, and perhaps the world around them. Computer are now what basic printing and publishing would have been when Caxton and Gutenberg popped into the scene.

I could go on and on... but if your goal is to keep people in a ghetto, then just send them food. If you want to give people access to the resources that might over time lead them to develop and learn, give them access to basic resources and add the ability to learn and construct their own knowledge and share it with others.

IMHO of course.

BTW, the laptop doesn't require an ISP... it uses mesh networking.

What real good is a laptop without an ISP or other form of internet access? A bit like having a phone that is not connected. Overstated, to be sure, but I make my point.

This post reminds me of a friend who worked for a nonprofit doing micro credit loans in the Dominican Republic. When a for profit institution started making such loans on more favorable terms, instead being happy that it could move on to another market, the nonprofit was really irked that it was being subjected to competition.

I think that at the time OLPC was conceived, there weren't cheap laptops suitable for use in the developing world. In fact, one version of the story has it that Intel is marketing its laptops in the developing world to preempt open-source software. I don't know if that story makes sense or not - ask Professor Picker.

I'm skeptical that $100 is better spent on a laptop than on other resources . See here:

http://www.povertyactionlab.com/projects/project.php?pid=6

and here:

http://www.povertyactionlab.com/projects/project.php?pid=21

and here:

http://www.povertyactionlab.com/projects/project.php?pid=2

However, I think there is considerable value in experimentation, perhaps on a smaller scale than Negroponte envisioned. Some people believe that computers, and particularly the internet, have a huge impact on the dispersal of information and democratic participation. These people could be wrong, but it might be worth a few million dollars to find out if they're right. If there's a big externality here - if there's option value in waiting to see how it turns out in some other developing country - you can see why developing countries might experiment suboptimally.

Camp-in container unveiled at Tolt-MacDonald Park
King County Parks staff unveiled a new camping structure, recycled from a used cargo container, at Tolt-MacDonald Park.
The structure, designed by HyBrid Architecture, is now available for online reservations for campers who want to take advantage of its site, along the Snoqualmie River near Carnation. Parks staff, along with architect Joel Egan, were on hand at the open house to discuss the ecologically sound and innovative aspects of the cargo container camping structure.
The 24-foot-long container is nestled between tall trees, near the footbridge connecting the east and west portions of the park. Its adaptable floor plan features a full-sized bunk bed, table and multi-purpose cabinet made from deconstructed kitchens and reclaimed materials that can be moved outside for more floor space inside. Reclaimed materials used in the structure include old soccer goals that were converted into a green wall and a door that is now the kitchen table.
Parks staff adapted Egan's award-winning schematic designs. "Re-Tain" is the result of King County Parks' Little Footprint/Big Forest design contest in 2011 that drew numerous entrants from area architecture firms and sustainability supporters.
Visit www.kingcounty.gov/recreation/parks/rentals/camping.aspx, or call (206) 205-5434, to make reservations. Cost for an overnight stay is $50.

Synergy is at play on the third solo disc from the Poison frontman: First single "Go That Far" was the theme song for his VH1 show Rock of Love. Like the series, this album can be trashy fun, but that's about it.
MONTGOMERY GENTRY Back When I Knew It All
This country duo may not get as much love as Brooks & Dunn, but they make festive, feel-good music like "I Pick My Parties" (featuring Toby Keith). You'll forget about it as soon as the CD is over, though.
AIMEE MANN @#%&*! Smilers

SERGIO MENDES Encanto
Mendes' last disc, 2006's Timeless, gave a fresh spin on his Brazilian music with guests like Justin Timberlake. The novelty has worn off a bit for this sequel, with Fergie, Natalie Cole and Juanes, but it's still fun.

The column that says picking school principals in Millville has become a royal pain in the classroom.
Good afternoon!
"The snow is falling!
"The snow is falling!''
"Picture this.
"You're driving north on Centerton Road from Carll's Corner.
"After you have moved through the second set of 4-way stops, you look ahead a couple hundred yards and notice a huge dump truck pulling out from the left side of the road.
"As you travel closer, you see dust clouds spewing across the road.
"It's a warm beautiful day except through this area. Glad my windows are up, you're thinking.
"But look at these houses; they're filthy!
"What's going on here?
"Looking to the left, you see a berm of soil. Over the berm, you can make out machinery digging the soil.

Word on the street is a lot of upset downtown business owners will be at Bridgeton City Council tonight, starting at 6:30 p.m.
And will that tweaked vendor ordinance ever see the light of day?
Temperatures going up overnight Thursday and Friday.
It will probably mean no Code Blue at Bethany Grace Community Church, 41 N. Pearl St., in Bridgeton.
It has to be 25 degrees or lower, or 30 degrees and under with precipitation.
Luckily, we have the CompleteCare digital sign on East Broad Street to let everybody know the temperature.
Bethany is the shelter this week.
We still have the Salvation Army and Mayor Kelly's Seventh Day Adventist Church on Burlington Road still to go in rotation.
Where churches will succeed in communities where government fears to tread.

Recently, I published an article on effect size estimation in the Archives that provided the rationale for examining the magnitude of differences between comparator groups in addition to traditional statistical significance testing.1 A tutorial was provided to facilitate determination of effect sizes for Archives readers who might not be familiar with these calculations. Statistical significance tests providing evidence that groups differ give no information regarding the magnitude or importance of the difference. Use of P values is often misleading, resulting in some leaders in the field of statistical sciences to recommend eliminating them from use all together.2

Reviews: Ghost Trick
If there isn't already a quintessential story of massive plot twists, then this is it.
Being a Visual Novel, gameplay is of relatively little importance, but I'll adress it to get it out of the way. The puzzles are somewhat trial and error, but checkpoints are frequent to the point where it will never be too frustrating. They all make enough sense to clear them without pure trial and error. The story relies heavily on plot twists to keep the player's interest. It opens with one, and ends with one. Almost every plot twist comes across as a great surprise, and a couple come across as thoroughly impossible at first. But in the end everything gets explained, everything makes sense... and then the game throws another enormous plot twist your way. There are a variety of twists, in fact this game covinced me there was such a thing. You've got the ones that fly in the face of everything you know, you've got ones that raise important questions, ones that answer questions, and there's one that's just plain comical, among others. None of the plot twists come across as a Shocking Swerve. I have briefly stopped playing once just to be able to process what was happening - complete with a Flat What. It's extremely difficult to hold a conversation about this game without spoiling many things to any eavesdroppers. The characters all have their charming quirks and personalities. The animation is very smooth, which helps to emphasize said quirks, and this is very noticable despite the DS's low resolution. End result, most characters end up being very likable. I've always said that a good soundrack helps with storytelling, and this game is a good example of that. The song placement always matches the moment. You've got your bittersweet, depressing, despair-filled, suspenseful, and upbeat, among others. Whether or not you notice the songs, they will enhance the moment. My only complaint with this game is that one character's development seemed rather out-of-the-blue and jarring. Fridge Brilliance kicked in, it ended up making sense, but it changed the problem to failing to sufficiently emphasize their motivations. My personal experience with the game? I had been spoiled with what I thought was the biggest plot twist. I was dead wrong, it would probably be generous to call it the third-biggest, and was able to thoroughly enjoy the story regardless.
A game of plot twists, but unfortunately the story is short
Ghost Trick is an amazing game - the puzzles are ingenious and don't become boring due to subtle differences. The characters interact in a witty manner, and every loose end is tied up neatly. Unfortunately, this game lacks replay value and is relatively short. The puzzles are all possibble, but can be frustrating if you miss the final step before a checkpoint. The ending is amazing set up, and made me shed a tear. I'm hoping they release a sequel which contains more puzzles, and perhaps a new storyline seperate, but linked. After all, fate is always changing, and this allows the story to be continued without any issue regarding continuosity. Excellent music, good job CAPCOM! ~Dogfish44

What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
Boresha Skinny is a coffee that claims to burn fat 800% faster than jogging. There is an official website, but this claim is the only information published on that website. There is no pricing information, contact or about us page or detailed description of the coffee. Upon further investigation, it seems the Boresha Skinny coffee is offered online by distributors, which accounts for the lack of information on the website. Other distributor websites offer more information and direct ordering, but the only ingredient listed is Arabica coffee.
List of Ingredients
AA Arabica Coffee, Buffered Caffeine, Vitamin C and Chromium.
Product Features
Traditional coffee may cause fat storage leading to increased body weight, according to some experts. To get around this claim, Boresha Skinny combines AA Arabica coffee with fat burning and appetite suppressing ingredients to inhibit fat storage and help the dieter lose more weight. To achieve optimal benefits, the dieter should drink 24 ounces of Boresha Skinny coffee every day. This could lead to jitters, nausea and sleeplessness, if consumed at night. Coffee is a natural source of caffeine, but Boresha Skinny adds even more caffeine to the mix increasing the risk of stimulant side effects.
The ingredients in Boresha Skinny include buffered caffeine, vitamin C and chromium. We have no idea the total caffeine content of the coffee after buffered caffeine is added, so dieters sensitive to caffeine should start out with less than the suggested dose. Vitamin c may help boost the immune system, but it has no effect on fat storage.
Chromium is added to control blood glucose levels in an attempt to stop fat storage and hunger. Chromium is one of the few proven weight loss ingredients with positive clinical results backing claims of glucose control. We have no idea how much chromium is added to the Boresha Skinny coffee.
Boresha Skinny is often combined with Boresha Cream and Boresha Sweetener. If the dieter wants to order all three, they can expect to pay $70 for a 10-day supply. The 30-day supply of all three retails for $125 per month plus shipping and handling. Boresha Skinny coffee sells for $30 for a 10-day supply without the other added products.
- Coffee contains caffeine.
- Caffeine is proven to boost metabolism.
- Added chromium may help control hunger.
- No ingredient lists on distributor websites.
- Much more expensive than other AA Arabica coffee.
- Boresha Skinny makes weight loss claims without clinical support.
- May be a part of an auto-ship program.
Boresha Skinny is a fat-burning coffee that is outrageously priced. No dieter should pay more than $100 for a coffee kit that claims to burn 800% more fat. As the old saying goes, "If it seems too good to be true, it probably is."

Nokia Lumia 920 pre-orders top Apple iPhone 5 sales in France
0. phoneArena 16 Oct 2012, 16:58 posted on
The Nokia Lumia 920 has some strong momentum going for it as pre-orders for the device have been sold out in Italy, and pre-orders for the phone in France ares o high that the model tops the PhoneHouse list of the top 50 sellers in France...

Lets open it up in America!!
Can't wait to be the "first" to get a Lumia 920. ;)

America ordering something besides iPhone? At least other countries aren't AS brainwashed to realized there are better phones out there.

The reign of iPhone is slowly washing out...
4S was it's peak...iP5 is no longer gorgeous and beautiful.
Here comes the Lumias...the new innovation!
18. Pings (Posts: 303; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
A UI based of AOL's website from 1996 is not innovation.
20. darkkjedii (Posts: 21194; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Thank u. That dude needs to hush. Ip5 isn't beautiful? Dude that's your opinion, millions of sales indicate different.
26. TROLL (banned) (Posts: 4851; Member since: 13 Apr 2012)
The different is, it's the trend and fashion,....
31. HouTexan (Posts: 439; Member since: 08 Jan 2012)
Not true. Most (not all) buy it because it has a damn Apple logo on the back and because they think it's "what's hot" . Sales don't tell the story.
42. darkkjedii (Posts: 21194; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Again that's your opinion. Tell me this, have u asked the millions of iOS users if they bought it cuz of the logo on the back? If not, then u can't say it's not true, and if u haven't asked them then its your opinion. Sales tell a major story also.
63. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
always going back to sales, its all you apple trolls have. you hold it up like its your victory, ''look i follow the crowd '' is what your saying
and dont reply from your other comments anything you say will be stupid and irrelevant
85. asseek (Posts: 164; Member since: 12 Sep 2012)
i agree with HouTexan, here in Lebanon, most (not all) bought the iPhone 5 for it's Apple logo on the back, not because its innovative or worth the money u pay for, because some people consider that if they have the iPhone 5, they are rich...
99. Cheers2 (Posts: 1; Member since: 17 Oct 2012)
Asseek i am Lebanese and you are completely right. Unfortunately, Windows Phone is rarely known in this country and Nokia should advertise the lumia 820/920 ASAP
104. asseek (Posts: 164; Member since: 12 Sep 2012)
yea i totally agree with u bro, man I go to cellphone stores and i ask 'em about Nokia Lumia, they never heard of!! :S Nokia should concentrate on the Lebanese market again, since almost all Lebanese had Nokia phones. my total respact for u bro
106. mikosoft (Posts: 2; Member since: 30 Oct 2012)
I am currently holding a Titan and can't wati to get my hands on a 920!!! Yeyyy finally someone else has a brain in this country!!!
105. mikosoft (Posts: 2; Member since: 30 Oct 2012)
Indeed, Asseek, I am lebanese and this is 100% True...all iPhone users here are like sh**p, they just follow the trend and most of them don't know how to use it!!!
66. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 3751; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
Hahaha...Darkkjedii, you're funny man! You have to get into iP5's sales estimations to see if iP5 is beautiful?
Yes, in my personal opinion, iPhone 5 is nowhere near beautiful... And according to you, no wait, according to millions of sales of the phone, you conclude the phone is beautiful.
This is what votes do to people...the depend too much on estimations!!
27. TROLL (banned) (Posts: 4851; Member since: 13 Apr 2012)
True, and the way the layout and settings are allover the place. Puzzling and looks weird.
44. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
the home screen looks "cluttered" and the app draw is a long scroll down to find what u may be looking for also there wont be nearly as many apps as there are on android..........but thats where progress steps in right?
Is it better than android? not in my opinion simply because android has come A LONG WAY from a humble beginning and we my friend are going to dominate for a long time to come....
45. TROLL (banned) (Posts: 4851; Member since: 13 Apr 2012)
Already have....+1
88. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
@xperia-knight: no need to scroll that much, just press the letter that the app's name starts with, it jumps right to that section. Also, pinning frequently used apps to the home screen makes it even faster, especially with the coming resizeable tiles.
59. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 3751; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
Oi, homeboy...who's talking about UI here?? Do
you think the tiles are all that i know about the
920?? Do you even know what Pureview is? Or what OIS stands for?
And Darkjedi, my opinion??
Tell me something...do you think people stick to
iP5 after 4S because it's beautiful and simple? Or because most don't know how to go Android
since it's way complicated for them?? Cause
last i checked, even 4S lovers complained
about the boring looks of iP5.
Yeah, it's beautiful...but it's a beautiful disaster!
73. TROLL (banned) (Posts: 4851; Member since: 13 Apr 2012)
The ip5 can run anygames, unlike lagging and limited games.
81. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 3751; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
Troll, i couldn't have chosen a better name for you myself. And with that profile picture, it suits you very well!!!
Tell me something other than games...like the hard ware? Processor? Camera? Anything you find innovative...of course in your savior, iP5.
82. StreetNerd (Posts: 819; Member since: 08 Dec 2010)
do u play League of Legends? Troll's profile picture looks like Taric :') so gay
61. gothicheart (Posts: 83; Member since: 17 Oct 2012)
and i gues you're one of the few who calls the ip5 an innovation right? how smart...
84. asseek (Posts: 164; Member since: 12 Sep 2012)
he said "Here comes the Lumias...the new innovation"
he meant the new Lumia is the innovation, not the OS on it, or the UI of wp8
so if u wanna argue, read well, and its either u argue about the subject or shut up..
93. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 3751; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
Thank You Asseek, for the clarification. Some people need to read well and understand what is being written before commenting on their own will.
98. asseek (Posts: 164; Member since: 12 Sep 2012)
no worries bro, they understand the comments the way they want, and then comment without even thinking (just to show their love for android) arguing you on something u didn't even mention
54. cretinick (Posts: 148; Member since: 25 Jan 2011)
I only can think that the Lumia 920 has a hardware so freaking fantastic, that Nokia could put any operating system on it and it would sell like water in the desert anyway!
WP7/7.5 has many flaws. Most of users that are pre-ordering the L920 never used the WP OS, or never used for more than a couple of minutes, scrolling the screen up and down.
I really hope that the WP8 come way better than the WP7.5... Or the L920 will be the bigger fail of the year. Great Hardware with a very limited OS.
89. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
What flaws does it have? It has some gaps in terms of features, but nothing I would call flaws that haven't been fixed that I've encountered. Lumia 900 owner here.
95. cretinick (Posts: 148; Member since: 25 Jan 2011)
You can't move the contacts to the SIM card to use in another phone (in case your battery goes off and you have to call someone using a friend phone).
You can't see the duration time of a call. (only can see the time it was made).
Notifications are awful.
And for those who are familiarized to Android (and Symbian),the absence of widgets makes alot of diference.
Some simple tasks, like turn on and off Wi-Fi, GPS, 3G and Plane mode are not as easy like in others OS (Not a big trouble! But it is not as simple as on other OSs).

77. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
if you see no progress you aint looking, nokia have come along way and whatever you think about certain people's decisions the lumia's are excellent spec phones that should give wp8 a kick start
just because you personally are what threatened by change dont mean anything
everything starts somewhere, android started on shaky ground now look. wp8 can be a real competitor so deal with it

agree, its a pre-order. besides, people already got their iP5 or order directly in apple online store, i bet other high end android can easily be #1 at PhoneHouse.
and stay pressed... nokia will be #1 again, after people try that half baked WP and return it to PhoneHouse...

well beyond your bs i just wanna pick out one thing ''last year specs' are you serious

@troll: Do you know what you're talking about? No kernels? IT SHARES ITS KERNEL WITH WINDOWS 8, YOU FOOL.
Besides, why would you want to mess with something an OEM spent hundred of thousands, if not millions, of dollars (or euros, or yen, etc) on tweaking and perfecting, if it's already capable? I could understand that for iphone because it's so restricted, and early Android to get newer features, but WP is the newest widely-available OS, and it shows. It doesn't need tweaking or pushing boundaries. As WP8Forever said, it's like a Ferrari: you buy a Ferrari to be a Ferrari, not some tuned up fart-can-bearing cheapo that you have to modify to get to have decent performance. Do you feel the need to hack your television? How about your microwave? No? Why is that? Oh, because they work the way they're intended out of the box, just like a WIndows Phone, and it's unlikely you'd be able to improve anything beyond what's already there without causing damage. Yes, it is FUN to hack, tweak, and modify, but it isn't necessary for everything. And as for specs, guess what, the WP8s have the same specs (excepting the quad-core processors) as their Android brethren. ATIV S is a reskinned GS3. WP8X is reskinned OneX+. Are those "last year"?

Lol, you can get live tiles with android too (launcher 7 ), if you like windows phone for that silly detail

Having Older Children Help During Pregnancy – Where Do You Draw the Line?Diana Stone
As third trimester starts, the second trimester energy is starting to fade. I have bursts of "nesting," but more and more I feel the exhaustion and the literal weight of carrying a baby around everywhere. I'm tired.
So right now, I try to ask for help when I can from people that are around. We all do this at some point, and for many of us it means having older children help during pregnancy.
One of these is my daughter Bella. At 3 1/2, she's capable of doing so much that just piles up on me.
Let the dog out. Feed him in the morning. Put her bowls in the sink. Help me unload the dishwasher by handing up the safe stuff. Clean up her mess. Run to get me something in another room. (Obviously in this picture she's "nopping" but only because she asked to do a small space.)
Most of these I'm comfortable with asking. She's finding her own place in our routine, learning responsibility. I can see her start to figure out that its easier to pick up a mess before making a new one. That putting things back where they belong saves her an extra trip the next time.
What I have to balance carefully is the line between age-appropriate skills and the ones she can do for me when I'm tired or hurting. It's so easy for me to ask her over and over to, "Grab Mama this, pick up that, will you do this?" Often she's such a willing helper, so eager to please, that I find myself having her be a little grownup without meaning to.
Of course, a few weeks or months of this isn't going to hurt anything. What I have to remind myself is that when the baby comes, it will require even more from me and my husband physically. There will be more times I'll have to do something that might be easier to get Bella to do simply because it's not her job. She needs room to be a big sister instead of a pretend Mama. I know how tempting it can be to have her do so much, but I also know how hard it is to get away from that pattern. I never want her to feel like she spent her childhood taking care of her siblings instead of having the freedom to be a little girl.
It's a fine line. I love that at her age, she truly makes so much of my pregnancy easier. She can entertain or help herself. I'll love watching her nurture and care for our little boy. I hope that I'm able to encourage her to still be 3 while remembering that myself.

The company has announced a new generation of 64GB SSDs which use 8Gb, 50nm single-level-cell (SLC) flash memory chips. The drives, which will be available in 1.8" and 2.5" form-factors, also feature a new SATA II interface for faster performance.
The faster chips and SATA II interface gives the new SSDs sequential write speeds of 100MB/sec and sequential reads of 120MB/sec. These numbers completely obliterate the previous Samsung 64GB offering which is rated at 45MB/sec write and 65MB/sec read. Samsung's first-generation 32GB SSD is rated for 30MB/sec writes and 53MB/sec reads.
quote: Huh? 10-20 years ago? Maybe I've been in a coma, but last time I checked, flash memory was not even available 10 years ago, much less 20.
quote: Some areas are more prone to change, for example the file index. Even accessing it will modify the "last accessed date" (at least under NTFS).

Loyola falls by 1 in conference opener
Greyhounds fall to 7-3 on season
Juan'ya Green scored four of his 19 points in the final 56 seconds as Niagara held off Loyola 62-61 Wednesday night in Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference action, snapping a three-game skid.
The Purple Eagles (3-5, 1-1) trailed 25-17 at the 7:50 mark, then launched an 11-2 spurt to lead 28-27 at halftime.
Niagara built a 56-46 lead, but the Greyhounds (7-3, 0-1) chipped away and used an 8-0 run to tie it at 58 with 1:41 left.
Loyola had a chance to pull ahead when Dylan Cormier stole the ball from Green, but his layup was blocked by Ameen Tanksley.
Green made a layup with 26 seconds to go, then got his revenge on Cormier with a steal. After Green's two foul shots made it 62-58, Anthony Winbush hit a 3 with 1 second left.
Antoine Mason added 14 points for the Purple Eagles.
Cormier's 17 points led Loyola.

Home » Crystal Information » Healing Crystals » Wearing Carrying Crystals
Wear or Carry the Appropriate Crystal
The simplest way of gaining benefit from crystals is to wear them for a period of time. Some crystals, such as jaspers, work slowly and continuously, and you may feel you would like their ongoing support. Others may work faster and are best used in short bursts. Remove them if you start to feel uncomfortable, and make sure they are cleansed. If you are wearing them in the form of jewellery, they are best set in pure metal such as silver or gold, not plated base metal.
Metals themselves are used in healing, and can affect the energy of the crystal. It helps to have them near or touching the area that needs healing, and they are more effective if worn in direct contact with the skin. If you are using a stone to treat a specific area, for example malachite for pain in the lower back, you can alternatively tape it on with Micropore (surgical tape). Be sure you select a relatively flat, smooth crystal, and cleanse it often.

I'd highly recommend yerba mate if you don't mind looking eccentric and you want something other than tea of coffee.
Cocoa drink. I have already mixed in a glass jar 50gr cocoa powder with 50gr cinnamon powder. I use only 5gr of this blend in my cocoa drink and it is so delicious!!!

text: Catholic Seafarers' Center Catholic Seafarers' Center Provides A Lifeline To Sailors During Their Hours In Seattle By Ashley Gross • Feb 7, 2014 Justin Steyer / KPLU These days, Seattle's Belltown neighborhood is dominated by wine bars and night clubs. But on one block of First Avenue, there's a living reminder of the city's dependence on the waterfront. Outside a two-story corner building, a few doors down from a Starbucks, is a vertical sign that reads "Catholic Seamen's Club." These days, the place is known as the Catholic Seafarers' Center and it's run by the Archdiocese of Seattle. But for decades, the center has provided a lifeline to sailors, whether they're here for just a few hours or months.

Q: We have beautiful 1-year-old female ferret named Aurora. Some people told us we need more than one ferret or it will die of being lonely. Our ferret appears to be well-adjusted, and we spoil her. She also has a captive audience with my daughter and husband. Is the death-from-loneliness claim really true? Our ferret is not caged and has free reign in a ferret-proof home.
A: A ferret certainly will not die from loneliness as long as she is kept physically healthy and mentally healthy through enrichment and appropriate ferret interactions.
Ferrets do well with other ferrets, though, and often keep each other entertained when you are busy. Ferrets often curl up next to each other to sleep, so a second ferret is never a bad idea.
If you plan to add a ferret at some point, choose a ferret of a similar age to your current ferret. Do this sooner rather than later so your ferret learns to be social with ferrets and not just humans.

Merino (my wooly fiber of choice, as you may know by now) gets shoehorned over into the cold weather clothing cubby, and really, it makes sense. Stylish sweaters, soft long underwear and hoodies, it's the kind of stuff that makes up good winter base and mid-layers. But Smartwool makes what they call a "microweight" layer, too, and believe it or not, it works well in hot weather, too. I know — I wore this stuff for a long sweaty day in 94F weather.
First, I really like the material. It's soft, and no, for the 1000th time, it's not itchy even though it is, indeed, wool. Smartwool's "intimates" line is made of their 150 weight merino, which simply means it's their finest, lightest fiber. It launders up nicely, getting softer each time I put them in the wash and while I prefer not to dry my woolens, the underwear made it through the dryer without shrinking.
Next up, the fit. Smartwool's clothing seems true to size, meaning they fit exactly as I expect they would. The underwear stays put, no awkward climbing (a-hem). The adjustable straps on the camisole don't slip. It's all really comfortable, no itchy plastic-y stitching next to your skin, no bunchy seams, no weird lines wrecking your svelte (okay, or not so svelte if you're me) profile.
As for wearing super light wool in next to the skin on a 94F day? I'm sold! Sure, things got a bit sweaty. But the clothing didn't stick to my skin, develop that weird sweat plus artificial ingredients smell, and it dried quickly.
I tried the camisole and the underwear but Smartwool's microweight line comes in a bunch of cuts and colors, for both men and women. As usual, Smartwool's products aren't cheap — the camisole is $45 and the boyshort/hipster underwear are $40. If you're used to buying expensive underwear, this won't surprise you, but it is a pretty steep price for a person who's used to paying department store prices on three packs of boyshorts from Hanes. (And now you know more about my underwear than you ever needed to know. Apologies.).
That said, if you don't mind paying the price, I can tell you that I have Smartwool in my travel and outdoors wardrobe that's easily 15 years old and still performs very well. It's tough stuff, it feels great next to your skin, and it lasts. That makes for great travel gear, even in the blazing heat.
Want your own microweight Smartwool underwear? Sometimes, you can find it for a bit less than Smartwool's full retail price on Amazon.
Need more merino wool? We've reviewed a whole variety of stuff. Start here.

Roots Benefits: BeetRoot | Radish | Celery | Carrot | Ginger Root | Valerian Root | Ginseng Root | Dandelion Root | Maca Root | Moringa Root | Licorice Root | Burdock Root | Parsnip Root | Lotus Root | Sunchokes Root
Celery benefits to your health. Eating benefits of Celery.
Celery is often looked at as a negative calorie food because of the few calories that are found in the vegetable, but there are actually many great health benefits in celery and many reasons you should incorporate it into your daily diet.
Celery is believed to have originated from the Mediterranean basin. Many ancient cultures cultivated the crop because they claimed it had great medicinal purposes due to its oils found mostly in the celery seed. The celery seed was believed to have great healing and preventive powers in colds, the flu, poor digestion, arthritis, liver and spleen ailments, and weight gain due to water retention.
There are two different types of celery varieties, self-blanching or yellow, and Pascal celery or green. In areas of North America, the green stalk celery is preferred and is normally consumed in its raw form. In Europe and most other areas of the world, self-blanching celery is preferred. In some areas of the world, celery and celery seed is consumed regularly to prevent and to treat high blood pressure.
Despite celery's high water content and low calorie amount, the vegetable actually has a great source of vitamins A, B, C, and K, as well as potassium, calcium, and magnesium. Its phytonutrients are believed to help prevent cancer and maintain a healthy heart.
Celery also has the power to preserve brain health. It contains a compound called L-3-N-Butylphthalide, which has been shown in recent studies to help prevent certain brain disorders and illnesses such as Alzheimer's disease. The L-3-N-Butylphthalide also has the power to treat illnesses such as urinary tract infections. Celery, despite the fact that it is mostly made of water, actually helps your body expel water naturally, without losing any great amounts of potassium.
Trying to conceive? Recent research has shown that celery oil, along with vitamin E, helps to boost a man's sperm count and mobility. Aldosterone, which is a metabolic product of testosterone, is found in celery and with vitamin E, it can help create an ideal environment for sperm to develop in a healthy manner.
As mentioned earlier, in many areas of the world, celery is used to regulate blood pressure. Celery contains compounds called Phthalides, which help relax the muscles around the arterial walls. Phthalides also help reduce hypertension and stress.
An interesting fact about celery that can help keep you insect bite free in the summertime is that in recent studies, celery oil has been found to act as a repellent against mosquitoes. Experts say if you apply the oil to your skin, you may see less mosquitos swarming around you on hot summer days and nights.
Celery can be consumed in its raw and natural form as well as cooked in dishes or soups. It is an inexpensive vegetable and easy to prepare. With a mild but unique taste, it can actually add a major boost in flavor to your favorite dishes. Celery has also been favored by many people on low-carb diets because of its crunchy texture, low carbohydrate count, low calories, and filling effect. There are so many benefits to this wonderful green stalk; you will not want to miss out!

Documentary Claims Serial Killer Murdered O.J. Simpson's Ex-Wife
Posted on Nov 20, 2012
O.J. Simpson did not kill Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, a new documentary alleges; convicted killer Glen Rogers did. The death row inmate reportedly confessed to the 1994 double murder after he was found guilty of killing two women. Rogers is suspected of murdering at least 10 other people, but claims he has killed more than 70.
"I'm absolutely certain that my brother killed Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman," Clay Rogers told the filmmakers in a candid interview.
"My Brother the Serial Killer" is set to air Nov. 21 at 9 p.m. on Investigation Discovery.
Simpson is serving up to a 33-year prison sentence in Nevada for his involvement in a 2007 sports memorabilia robbery.

OXFORD – The 11 billboards inside Oxford city limits could be whittled down to two if aldermen agree to a change in the sign ordinance.
The recommended change is the culmination of negotiations over a lawsuit in which a sign company challenged the city's 2004 sign ordinance. The ordinance required demolition of billboards after a seven-year grace period.
"We have gone through several rounds of settlement negotiations," said City Attorney Paul Watkins. "We have finally come to a general agreement."
Under terms of the tentative agreement, Lamar Outdoor Advertising, which owns 10 of the 11 existing billboard locations in Oxford, would dismantle eight of those.
"Lamar is going to acquire and remove the only non-Lamar billboard, the double stack by Papa John's," Watkins said.
City Planner Tim Akers said, "The general parameters of the settlement were that they would get two digital billboards on Highway 6 if they removed the rest of them. Both sides have agreed to this."
Under that agreement, Lamar would receive construction permits to convert two conventional billboards near the city's main gateway to the technology that allows for frequently changing messages and graphics.
The signs will dim somewhat at night, Watkins said.
"Tim's going to be working with them to make sure they won't affect residential areas," he said.
While the settlement, if accepted by the Board of Aldermen, will do away with most of Oxford's billboards, more will remain just outside of city limits on several highways, out of reach of the ordinance.

One advantage to purchasing a premium LinkedIn account is the ability to see more search results when you perform advanced people searches. With the basic (free) LinkedIn account, you are limited to 100 results when you perform a search and the results consist of people in your 1st or 2nd degree network.
Job seekers often want to see more than 100 results; they want to see all attorneys with a particular background who practice in a particular market. However, there's a free website job seekers can use to see more than 100 results. Instead of upgrading your account, try running your LinkedIn searches on Recruitem. Recruitem searches public LinkedIn profiles on Google so you get more results. Simply enter your search parameters and search! For example, if you are looking for a job in Orlando, FL, you may want to find partners at Orlando firms and perform the search below.
As you can see, there are over 7,000 results, so you aren't limited to only 100.

I have been researching Robert Louis Stevenson in preparation for my forthcoming review of PKD's Library of America release. The connections between these two authors are fascinating. 'The Strange Case of Dr Jeckyll and Mr Hyde' was initially written as a lurid thriller, but Stevenson's wife famously burned the manuscript forcing him to begin again. He composed the next draft in a three-day marathon writing session (sound like anyone we know?). The second draft of the story was far more "literary" for lack of a better term. In it, Stevenson created an avatar for the Victorian unconscious mind. The novella delivers more than just Gothic suspense; it personifies the discoveries Freud was making about human nature at the same time.
Stevenson's personification of the duality of man certainly paved the way, not only for Dick's plots, but for his entire cosmology and system of morality. Mr Hyde writes:
"I had learned to dwell with pleasure, as a beloved daydream, on the separation of these elements [good and evil]. If each, I told myself, could be housed in separate identities, life would be relieved of all that was unbearable; the unjust might go his way, delivered from the aspiration and remorse of his more upright twin; and the just could walk steadfastly and securely on his upward path."
Robert Louis Stevenson was widely considered a mere genre writer for decades; only recently has scholarly interest returned to his books. In the afterword in my Bantam Classics edition Jerome Charyn writes:
"The power of 'Jeckyll and Hyde' is that it resists simple allegory. Good and evil shift from face to face, and Stevenson wears all of them in this story. Isn't he Hyde's secret sharer? Sickly and rebellious, he destroys his father's portrait by becoming an artist rather than an engineer. 'Dr Jeckyll and Mr Hyde' was written under the fever of a man trying to declare his own identity, and I can't help but think that part of Hyde was that pale scribbler in Stevenson, screaming to come out, a "murderous mixture of timidity and boldness" that all good writing is about."

At one time or another, I do not have the LOTRO Gold ; I did not want to buy it. At the first time, I am not willing to buy Lord Of The Rings Gold . But I do not wonder I buy the cheap Lord Of The Rings Gold , my friend thinks that I am ill. But when I have it, it carries the magic from such a group, such a link in the world; it is the key bring you to this world. But buy LOTRO Gold is the best desire that I make.

When a male has ejaculated into a partner's asshole he lays down and their partner farts the cum out of their ass and into the man's mouth. This can also be done to another partner, not necessarily the man who provided the semen. This is the case with 3'some's and orgies,etc... ; see cockle for reference
Marty's breath smelled like buffalo wings after 'Tasha gave him a fartcockle.
