Titanium on rubber strap
It was with OMEGA's maritime legacy in mind that the brand launched its Planet Ocean line in 2005. The stylish OMEGA Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M Chronograph pays homage to OMEGA's dive watch heritage.
This model, with its scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, features a blue dial with a date window at the 6 o'clock position. The dial presents a small seconds sub-dial, as well as 60-minute and 12-hour counters on one dial for intuitive reading of elapsed time. The blue ceramic unidirectional rotating divers' bezel, with its Liquidmetal® diving scale, is mounted on a 45.5 mm titanium case and is presented on a blue rubber strap.
The OMEGA Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M is water resistant to 60 bar (600 metres / 2000 feet), and has a helium-escape valve. The OMEGA Co-Axial calibre 9300 at the heart of this certified chronometer timepiece can be seen through the transparent caseback.
Complicated watch with a function for measuring short time periods in addition to its function for permanently displaying hours, minutes and seconds.

Stipe Miocic earned his second win in a row over a well-entrenched gatekeeper Saturday night at UFC on Fox 10, out-landing an exhausted Gabriel Gonzaga.
It wasn't the most emphatic win of his career, but a win is a win and Miocic has five of them in the UFC, offset by just one loss to the MIA Stefan Struve. That makes him a dark-horse title contender and a breath of fresh air in the otherwise stagnant heavyweight top 10.
So, how will the UFC handle him next? Who might it match him against next? What will the ramifications of that fight be?

National Parks in Croatia
By Zoe Smith, United Kingdom, March 2013
1. Plitvice Lakes National Park
The first of Croatia's National parks, established in 1948, the Plitvice Lakes National Park is one of the country's most celebrated tourist attractions and makes a popular day trip from Zagreb. Now a UNESCO World Heritage site, the 300 square kilometer park is famous for its 16 lakes, glittering pools fed by tumbling waterfalls and encircled with dense woodland. Hiking trails abound but the park is also a hotspot for nature enthusiasts, with deer, bears, wolves and wild boar roaming the forests.

We stayed for 9 nights and were quite pleased. The host was extremely accommodating and replied quickly to our emails/questions. We felt very at home. The unit is cozy and quite comfortable for 3 to 4 people. It could use some updating and some TLC but served our purposes quite well. It is in a great area with lots of places within in driving distance. Sea World is just around the corner and we passed by Disney World and Universal Studios daily. Great restaurants and shopping (Orlando Outlet Mall) are real close.
We stayed in N.Y. in May and enjoyed every day...because of the comforable flat and, and, and...the apartment is in a walking distance to the subway, so we went every day to Manhattan or elsewhere...the flat itself is as discribed, so all was extraordinary. We would book again
The apartment was really nice!
There were just two little bad points: The table is really small and the light was relatively dark.
Very nice and clean flat. Thanks Rohan !!!
Rohan is a nice and helpful Person.
There are many Subway line nearby going to Manhattan within 7-12 min Walking distance. Supermarkets are on the way to the subway.
We are a family with two teenager Boys and felt very safe in Brooklyn.
Park opposite the flat is a bit strange. Kids (15 and 13) did not want to go there !
In the flat there is all you need. Some cereal bowls would be nice.
We received a warm welcome from Rohan and he is kind, friendly and helpul. The studio was clean, with a comfortable bed , a very good wifi, a flat screen, a/c and a fully equipped kitchen. We only missed a table to dine. The studio is in front of a park and close to Brooklyn Children´s Museum. A very quiet area.
very nice appartment
great bathroom!
We were in Rohan's apartment during 6.7-19.7 and everything was ok :-)
We had very comfortable bed, kitchen and bathroom was ok. Air condition machine wasn't so silent but we got used to it. Brooklyn area was interesting.
I can recommend apartment!
My family and I loved this place. Fast connection to Manhattan very close to the appartment. Clean spacious appartment. Nice neighbourhood. Thanks Rohan, you made us feel really welcome!
Quite pleased with the Brooklyn Apartment . Rohan was most helpful.
Would be happy to go back to the Brooklyn Apartment if ever we are able to return to New York.

* THE WALKING DEAD. 9 p.m. Sunday, AMC.
FOR SOMEONE who spent the first 13 years of her life in Cherry Hill, N.J., Lauren Cohan has quite the British accent.
Not that you'll get to hear it in AMC's "The Walking Dead," which Cohan joins in Sunday's episode, playing Maggie, a Georgia farmer's daughter who encounters the show's band of survivors after their exodus from zombie-ridden Atlanta.
"She comes from a very Christian background. She hasn't been all that exposed to the zombies," Cohan explained in a phone interview last week, trying to keep things spoiler-free. "She's not really been exposed to the world outside the world she lives in."

DETROIT — From a hot and muggy meeting room inside Greater King Solomon Baptist Church on 14th in Detroit, more than a dozen clergy called for protest Monday morning.
"We will not allow this movement to die just like Trayvon Martin died," said Charles Williams II, the church's pastor and a Michigan leader of Al Sharpton's National Action Network. "We will make sure that his name will not be said in vain."
The activists and religious leaders come together two days after a Florida jury found 29-year-old George Zimmerman not guilty of murder or manslaughter in the death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, whom Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch president, shot and killed after becoming suspicious of and following the teen who was walking in a Sanford, Florida neighborhood on a rainy night in February.
Zimmerman, licensed to carry a concealed firearm, said he was attacked and feared for his life when he pulled out his gun and opened fire.
Williams said there is a national effort to pressure Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. to file charges against George Zimmeran. An online petition posted by the NAACP reportedly garnered more than 100,000 signature Sunday and the magnitude of the response crashed the organization's website.
Protests are planned in 100 cities across the nation on July 20, including a protest outside the federal courthouse at 211 Fort in Detroit at noon Saturday.
"I want to make it very clear that there is no apology that we are offering George Zimmerman," Williams said Monday. "The only thing that we're sorry for is that you're not in jail."
Several in attendance said their concern is that the not-guilty verdict creates a dangerous precedent.
David Bullock, an at-large City Council candidate, said the decision creates a "hunting season that has now been declared against the young black men across America."
Sam Riddle, who in 2010 pleaded guilty to accepting bribes related to the Synagro sludge deal that took place during the Kwame Kilpatrick administration, is now political director for the Michigan chapter of the National Action Network.
"What we saw in Sanford, Florida was the institutionalism of white vigilantism," Riddle said. "Because as soon as the verdict was rendered, it in effect said... it's OK to kill a (N-word)."
Rev. Maurice Rudds of Greater Mount Tabor Church, president of the social justice Change Agent Consortium in Detroit, said never is his "wildest imagination" did he expect Zimmerman to be found not guilty of both involuntary manslaughter and second-degree murder.
"I was naive enough to have hope," said Rudds. "After that verdict I was awakened from my naivete... and I realized that many things in America have not changed... that Trayvon's life was not valued as other lives are, that we as minorities are still counted as less than full American citizens."
When Rudds came to church Sunday, he told his 300-member congregation "not to take vengeance in their own hands."
He expected a potentially riotous backlash from the public in Detroit that never came. Hundreds gathered and marched peacefully along Woodward Sunday evening but their have been no reports of violence or looting stemming from the court decision.
"I thought that people would be outraged, I thought there would be riots in the street," Rudds said. "We have to give credit to the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King. His whole philosophy of nonviolence I think is still core principal in African-American communities."
This case, says Rudds the son of a man from Birmingham, Ala., reinforces the importance of "the talk" that black children have received for generations in America, what he calls a "right of passage."
"Your dad will sit you down and give you the real brass tacks about race relations in America, that you are not totally accepted everywhere," he said. "It's kind of like growing up in the Jim Crowe south even now today. We get that instruction.
"I have two young sons... I still definitely give them that talk, to tell them to be aware of their surrounding, realize who they are and don't become too comfortable to where they drop their guard."

Justin Upton's long national nightmare is over.
As first reported by CBS Sports' Jon Heyman, the 25-year-old outfielder has finally been traded, going to the Atlanta Braves along with Chris Johnson in exchange for five players.
Heading to the Arizona Diamondbacks—as reported by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's David O'Brien—are Martin Prado and Randall Delgado, along with minor league infielders Nick Ahmed and Brandon Drury, and piching prospect Zeke Spruill.
At first glance, this seems like a good trade for both teams.
The Braves have the right-handed power bat they've been seeking for left field, and Arizona traded a player they've been looking to unload for quite some time. In return, the D-Backs received a major league third baseman and promising young pitcher, along with minor leaguers that could make a meaningful contribution within a few years.
But in taking a closer look, who are the winners and losers in this trade? Who benefits most from this deal and who gets hurt from it? Here's how it breaks down, in our view.

Movie: Lord Howe Island Diorama: History
The diorama reflected a new desire for museum's to entertain audiences with a slice of 'real life'.
In 1923, the Australian Museum sent a team of scientists, preparators and artists to Lord Howe Island to record and bring back the sights, scenes and specimens that formed a series of three dioramas about the island. Only one remains, celebrating ninety years on continuous display and the oldest remaining natural history diorama in Australia.

Backblaze Review for October 2016
Backblaze is an online file storage tool that places a strong emphasis on simplicity. In fact, simplicity is the key competitive advantage that Backblaze has over other file storage tools. With unlimited backup and software that runs on autopilot, Backblaze is the easiest-to-use file storage tool on the market.
What most people seem to like the most about Backblaze.com is that it offers unlimited storage space for as low as $3.96 per month. If you don't want to sign up for a long term account, Backblaze has an auto-bill option that costs just $5 a month with all the same features. There is no other online backup tool out there that beats these prices.
The software is designed to automatically find files that you might want to back up. When you first install the software, Backblaze will scan your computer for all user-generated files and documents. The software skips files such as Windows installation files because those can be recovered with ease. What Backblaze searches for are files such as Word documents, videos, downloads and other files that aren't so easily recovered.
Backblaze Features
Backblaze provides a number of useful features within the software. Military grade encryption is used to protect your files at all times. Continuous backup provides real-time protection while automatic throttling can be enabled to make sure you don't use too much bandwidth (for those of you with ISPs that limit bandwidth).
One of the coolest features that Backblaze offers is the "find my computer" feature. If your computer is lost or stolen, the locate feature waits for that computer to be connected to the internet. As soon as the computer has an internet connection, it will report its current IP address and map it for you. This feature is particularly effective for stolen computers.
There are several options to restore your files if your hard drive is lost. A free web restore option can be used to download files individually or to download your entire data set. There are also optional paid restore options in the form of USB flash drives (28 GB) and USB hard drives (1 TB).
The downside to Backblaze is that it's not a very feature-rich backup tool. Backblaze does not offer file syncing, file sharing or even a mobile app. Backblaze is a lean backup tool and nothing else. We might see more features in the future, but for now this is what you get. When you consider the pricing model, it's not a bad deal at all.
Quick list of Backblaze features:
- Unlimited storage space
- External hard drives supported
- Locate lost computers function
- File encryption
- Automatic bandwidth throttling optional
- Automatic file backups
- Can find files for backup automatically
- Available in 11 languages
- 15 day free trial
- Restore options: web download, USB flash drive, USB hard drive
Backblaze Support
Customer support at Backblaze is decent but not amazing. Help is offered in the form of an online knowledge base and e-mail address. There is no support phone number or live chat option for customers. It's hard to fault them for making that decision, though. The most expensive plan Backblaze offers is $5 a month.
Having said that, the Backblaze team is recognized for interacting with customers and listening to suggestions. They have held question-and-answer sessions on Reddit and post regular behind-the-scenes updates on their blog.
Backblaze Plans and Pricing
The Backblaze pricing plan is simple. The service costs $5 a month, with discounts if you purchase 1 or 2 years in advance. This plan is offered to all customers and all features are included. The month-to-month plan costs $5 a month, the 1 year plan costs $50 up front and the 2 year plan costs $95 up front.
If you're not entirely sure about Backblaze yet, you can give the service a try for free. Backblaze offers a 15 day free trial with no strings attached. You can download the software, create an account and give it a try. If you like it, you're welcome to upgrade to a paid version at the regular price. If no, you can walk away at any time.

To be the first player to win one point in each topic, or collect 10 points all together.
First things first: grab a pen and paper to keep track of your points.
The youngest player spins first and is the Reader for the first round of play. The Reader now flips to the first block of questions in the book and reads a question from the topic spun (i.e. Fame, Nature, Media, Our World, Sports, or Science) to the player on his/her left.
If the player guesses correctly, s/he receives a point for that topic.
If the player guesses incorrectly, play continues in a clockwise direction, with the Reader reading the next player the next question in the block. (For example, if the first player gets Media, the second players gets Our World, the third gets Sports, and so on…Got it? Good!). There is no penalty for an incorrect response.
After all the players have answered a question, the person to the Reader's left takes a spin and is now the Reader for the next block of questions.
The first player to win one point in each topic, or to collect 10 points all together, is the winner!
Spin, flip to the first page of the round, and read the topic question from the appropriate section. Don't forget to keep the answer covered with a bookmark.
If you guess correctly, give yourself a point and spin again. If you guess incorrectly, take away a point. If you have no points, simply continue playing.
Collect six points in twenty minutes or less and you're a winner!

It seemed in 1992 that it was time to close the books on El Salvador. A peace accord was signed, ending 12 years of war. U.N. observers sawed the barrels off guerrilla guns. The army pledged reform. Gingerly, leftists tried something that had gotten them killed in the past - above-ground campaigning, aimed at changing the system peaceably in what Salvadorans are calling the ''Elections of the Century." They are set for March.
But conflicts rarely end so tidily. And though Washington breathed a sigh of relief that, unlike Haiti and Bosnia, El Salvador was "over," it was not. Nor is it today. Indeed, there are ominous signs that instead of joining the battle at the ballot box, the country's ultra-rightists are again unleashing the death squads that - in league with the military - once murdered activists, priests, even an archbishop, with impunity.

Over the weekend, the New York Rangers agreed to a contract extension with arbitration-eligible center Derick Brassard. Interestingly, the Rangers didn't do a one or two-year deal, as they'd done with Mats Zuccarello and Chris Kreider. Instead, New York gave Brassard a five-year deal worth $25 million. The deal is frontloaded, but for cap purposes, its average annual value is $5 million.
Instinct says that's an overpay. But instinct isn't always right. In the people I discussed the contract with, including Sean Gentille, no one could come to a consensus with themselves, let alone each other, on whether the Brassard deal was good, bad or just fine.
So with that in mind, let's take a look at the good and bad of Brassard and the deal, and see if an answer can be found.
Point: Brassard has never scored 20 goals or 50 points in a season
We'll start with the basics. The Rangers just handed $5 million a season to a guy who topped out at 18 goals and 45 points. Really?
Counter point: We're moving beyond goals and assists as the sole indicators of value
Yes, goals and assists are extremely important, but they don't constitute the entirety of a hockey player's game. Puck-possession numbers mean something and in Brassard's case, they're positive; he has never posted a negative Corsi relative to his teammates. In other words, he's been a consistent puck-possession player for his entire career. That's not bad.
Point: Brassard is just 26, and could be improving
Age matters when it comes to contracts. A five-year deal for a 30-year-old is far different than one for a 25-year-old. It gets to the idea of paying a player based on what you expect them to do, not what they already have done. To a degree, you're paying a 30-year-old based on what he has done, and hoping that he can keep it going for at least the first two-thirds of the deal. With a 25-year-old, you're expecting the player to at least maintain his level of performance, if not get better as he hits his supposed prime years.
Counter point: Brassard may be as good as he's going to get
At least when it comes to scoring goals, evidence suggests hockey players don't peak at 27, but around 24. That doesn't mean Brassard is going to fall off a cliff — he'll be under 30 for most of the deal. It also doesn't mean Brassard can't improve — not every player peaks at 24. But it does suggest Brassard's point totals aren't going to change much going forward.
Point: The Rangers got zero discount
Typically, restricted free agency is an opportunity for teams to lock in players at below market-value rates. Given that Brassard was shooting for just under $5 million for a year in arbitration and hit that number for five years, it seems like the Rangers handed Brassard more than what he wanted without trading some of the risk they're assuming for savings, especially since Brassard wouldn't have gotten $5 million had he won his arbitration case. Even if the contract is ultimately fair, in a salary-capped league, the Rangers would be unwise to give away money needlessly.
Counter point: The Rangers did get a discount
Brassard may not seem like a $5 million a year player. But what "seems" and what is actually out there are two different stories. Let's look at three players Rangers fans should know very well who got new contracts this summer.
First is Benoit Pouliot, who got $4 million a year from the Edmonton Oilers for the next five years. As an unrestricted free agent, there was no discount for Pouliot's services, and he was a puck-possession darling playing alongside Brassard this year. But if you asked most Rangers fans which they'd rather have, Pouliot for a million less than Brassard over the same term, or Brassard, Brassard would likely be the choice.
Second and third, ex-Rangers Ryan Callahan and Brandon Dubinsky, who got roughly the same deals as one another, and about $800,000 more AAV than Brassard did.
Here's the thing: Callahan and Dubinsky's deals essentially sign them through their mid-30's — their decline phase — and both pay them nearly $1 million more than Brassard, who is substantially younger, and whose deal will be ending around the same age their extensions kick in. Both have had more goal-scoring success than Brassard but are also quite a bit older and when it comes to puck-possession, are around equal to him.
It doesn't feel like a discount, but these three cases suggest Brassard's market value, had he hit it, could have been at least Dubinsky and Callahan's. That's not mentioning Dave Bolland, who got $500,000 more and is two years older. That means the Rangers may have scored at least a slight discount.
Point: The contract is well-structured
It's no secret the Rangers are one of the more financially sound franchises in the NHL. They took advantage of that in the Brassard deal. With players like Dan Boyle and Martin St. Louis' short-term hits, the Rangers could have backloaded Brassard's deal or paid him essentially the same throughout. But New York instead frontloaded the deal, which will pay Brassard $7 million in year one, $6 million in year two, $5 million in year three and then $3.5 million the final two seasons. That doesn't change the cap hit, which will be $5 million each year.
What it does do is make Brassard's contract easier to trade if the Rangers want to. The NHL usually has teams looking to take on money to get up to the cap floor. Brassard's contract will become perfect for that in Years 4 and 5 — he will have a cap hit of $5 million but the team will only have to pay him $3.5 million each season.
This mitigates the risk somewhat — even if Brassard doesn't actually play at a level justifying the deal, he's still a useful trade chip.
Counter point: The Rangers window is now
While a great contract to trade in three years is nice, the Rangers want to win now. They're built to win now. The gamble is that Brassard is absolutely worth it in the next two years, and if he's not, the Rangers cap situation probably won't allow them to get enough quality players to compete for the Stanley Cup. Besides, the ability to trade the contract means less in two years anyway, when St. Louis and Boyle are off the books and the cap has likely risen.
Verdict: So is Brassard overpaid, underpaid, or actually right where he needs to be? The Rangers look to potentially be slightly overpaying now, but as long as Brassard's numbers stay consistent (and his age suggests they should), the end of the deal will look just fine. If he does manage to improve, those end years will look very good. The deal should be considered fair, given Brassard looks to have a fairly high floor if not a high ceiling, and one the Rangers should be perfectly fine with through its term.

I wouldn't call it a hack... That's like you have your phone lock via password and someone somehow got your password **cough*girlfriend*cough* and unlock your phone... Beside, nothing is unhackable.
4. shuaibhere (Posts: 1986; Member since: 07 Jul 2012)
NO one is going to use Fingerprint scanner....it's just for the sake of marketing...
5. jaytai0106 (Posts: 1888; Member since: 30 Mar 2011)
Yeah, when I had my Motorola Atrix 4G... never used the finger scanner.

Speak for yourself. I do, and it works 9/10 times. Faster than typing a password or a pattern.

Same here :D I have cerberus so I can erase my phone if I needed.
19. bestmvno (Posts: 251; Member since: 07 Mar 2014)
I hope you don't have email on your phone and it never gets stolen or lost. Otherwise, all one would then have to do is go to sites you go to, claim "lost password", put in your email address and start collecting your passwords and financial information when the password reset gets sent to your email.
22. jaytai0106 (Posts: 1888; Member since: 30 Mar 2011)
Yeah I know. :P I like to gamble a little in life haha. However, a lot of sites that I have important information with do ask for security questions before they send out a reset password e-mail. Nevertheless, Cerberus is my last line of defense when the case of stolen or lost. I could send a command to it and wipe the entire phone clean.
28. shuaibhere (Posts: 1986; Member since: 07 Jul 2012)
I'm talking for the majority.....
Even those who use fingerprint scanner in ip5s...don't use it got security purpose....it makes unlocking the easier so they use it...
From what I've heard...unlocking the phone with fingerprint scanner is hard so I see no use of it...
30. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
You heard wrong then. It takes less than a second on the iPhone 5S and about one or two on the S5. Don't go by what you hear because when you spread false information, your credibility goes down.
32. shuaibhere (Posts: 1986; Member since: 07 Jul 2012)
I have seen ip5s fingerprint scanner in action...my friend has one....
He uses it unlock phone easily not for security....
But reviewers say it is hard to unlock in s5...
I had a hands on s5...but didn't test fingerprint scanner...as I have ni interest in it....
S5 is really awesome though...the best display I have ever seen...
33. refillable (Posts: 1046; Member since: 10 Mar 2014)
Well I do, it's just the security that needs to be improved. For now, it's just for convenience.

7. maherk (Posts: 3787; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)
they make it sound as if it is easy to obtain and create a copy of someone's fingerprint. Smartphone thieves are usually not bank thieves, they aren't that smart. Btw, once you're logged into your paypal account, you won't need to retype the password unless the phone is rebooted. Still, if I had the S5, I don't see myself using the fp scanner other for unlocking the phone, surely not for my paypal or any other account.
8. ToxiD (Posts: 45; Member since: 27 Feb 2014)
I didn't think the gimmick can be more useless until now.
20. bestmvno (Posts: 251; Member since: 07 Mar 2014)
It's not a gimmick. Biometrics are here to stay. It's just an infant technology at this point that will continue to improve and evolve.
27. ToxiD (Posts: 45; Member since: 27 Feb 2014)
It is. Instead of it they could work on better battery optimization resulting longer life on 1 charge as well as OS optimization that would be appreciated in Samsung case.
38. bestmvno (Posts: 251; Member since: 07 Mar 2014)
They did work on better battery life. They have a deal with a company and are using that technology in the phone. They've also improved the os and cut back on some of the software gimmicks. Biometrics such as this may replace passwords altogether one day. The technology is not quite ready for that just yet though.
9. ianbbaa (Posts: 305; Member since: 20 Mar 2013)
When somebody is watching you how you enter your pin via keyboard, or slide tha pattern - as soon as the other person remember that pin and will use it on your phone he will unlock it. (therefore you do not show your device while typing pin)
So what should basically a FingerPrint scanner do when you have a copy of your finger??? If iPhone or S5 or somebody else - untill it wont meassure your DNA via touch, it will just unlock your fake finger.
BUT - how easy is to obtain your finger copy??? So all in all, FingerPrint still can be considered as a safer way to lock your device.
11. JMartin22 (Posts: 1969; Member since: 30 Apr 2013)
Uh... This is an exploit, not a hack. We should stop throwing around the term "hacking" in such a loose context. No systematic altering, via compromise was involved here. Some people merely stumbled among a method (that anyone could recreate), that's all.
For the record, this exploit is situational at best.
14. AfterShock (Posts: 3698; Member since: 02 Nov 2012)
I'd bet, it never happens.
17. solidsnake695 (Posts: 132; Member since: 04 Jan 2013)
I think some of the staff of phonearena died after reading this u know what I mean
34. refillable (Posts: 1046; Member since: 10 Mar 2014)
Old boring joke.
23. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
Just like touch id this isn't a proper hack.. Just look at how much trouble one has to go through, steel phone, get the right finger print somehow, do some high tech stuff and make a mold etc etc. This isn't like a security hole where anyone with little knowledge can break it, you need to have the right equipments etc..
24. jroc74 (Posts: 6006; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
Exactly...the methods involved in the scanner exploits...if it takes all this to bypass it....its still doing its job.
But...my concern is once its done on the GS 5...the phone is basically wide open. Apple has a 2 step approach. If there ever was a time to copy Apple....this would be it....
26. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
Yh I was thinking for those who want to be extra secure a 2 step verification would be nice as an option. Ie finger print and a 4 or 5 digit pin. I would definitely use that for payments.
25. flipjzn (Posts: 256; Member since: 22 Jun 2012)
Samsung should c̶o̶p̶y̶ implement password after reboot just like on iPhone 5s for more security.
31. edelxander (Posts: 54; Member since: 01 Oct 2013)
yeah.. now that fingerprint is hackable next technology would be retina verification, blood sample and child sacrifice, demon summoning etc to unlock your smartphone.
36. mark_ray (banned) (Posts: 35; Member since: 26 May 2013)
When they hacke the Face Unlock on Nexus phones, by using a picture of the owner, Google added security measure which is Blink Checker. Let's see how will they overtake this issue
37. brasstax (Posts: 285; Member since: 16 Apr 2014)
Looks like somebody's been watching jean claude van damme's fingerprint hack from the movie Double Team ;) on a more serious note, it makes sense for the phone manufacturer's to make their FP tech as fool proof as possible, before encouraging customers into using the same for authenticating payments online. this will prevent a lot of early anguish for sure.

AUBURN, Ala. - Auburn faces a difficult offensive decision. The Tigers can either attack Mississippi's weakness by throwing the ball or do what they do best and run at the Rebels' strength.
One thing they likely can't do is try to engage Eli Manning and the 20th-ranked Rebels (7-2, 5-0 Southeastern Conference) in a shootout, which means sticking to their ground attack.
"There's two ways of looking at that: you want to score a lot of points or you want to control the ball," Auburn offensive coordinator Hugh Nall said. "I think we've got to do some of both."
Normally, run or pass isn't a question the Tigers (6-3, 4-1) have to bother with. They've made lip service about being a balanced offense, but are clearly at their best when Carnell Williams and his supporting cast are moving the ball on the ground.
Auburn is last in the league in passing and second in running.
Still, Ole Miss's defensive statistics might tempt Nall to tweak the formula a bit.
The Rebels rank 115th out of 117 teams nationally in defending the pass, allowing 308 yards per game and 22 touchdowns.
By contrast, they've been strong against the run, allowing only 90 yards a game and seven TDs.
Does Ole Miss dare Auburn to pass? Tommy Tuberville thinks so.
"Everybody's going to call us out and say, 'You're going to have to throw the ball down the field to beat us. We're not going to let your running backs,"' the Auburn coach said. "Everybody else has done that."
"I don't know if I have ever seen a team with that many quality backs before," Ole Miss coach David Cutcliffe said.
"It starts with Williams. I don't know how to defend him except to play the best football you can play."

Education: I am a Blue-point Birman. COTD 3/4/08. Thank you to all my CC furriends for helping me get this award. I'm trying to get back to all of you, so please forgive me if I miss anyone.
My favorite tricks and treats are: I drink water from the kitchen faucet. My NYC cousin taught this to me over the Christmas Holidays. and Herring snacks - purr, purr. Actually, I'll do anything for them.
Where I hang out: Anywhere that my buddy Poochi is. Wherever he is, I follow - I want to make sure he loves me as much as I love him.
My favorite grubs: Shrimp, Herring treats
My pet peeves: While I am 5 months old, I came from a cattery where there was always a Queen, so I hate it that Poochi, a neutered male, is unable to suckle me. I also tried getting refreshment from fingers and thumbs-who would think I was living in a 'dry' environment. Also, pools aren't good-I learned very quickly that I can't walk on water.
What I love about my owners: they are so good to me. I have a great home with lots of people who love me.
My cat hobbies: Because I'm a baby, I love to sleep. and snuggle and eat and did I tell you I like to snuggle?

Unfortunately, I had a very short time with my furever family, but I made the most of it. I was cute and loveable, in the most persistent way I knew. I spoke up loudly for my food, just in case, my family wasn't paying attention. And now, I am a team captain on my mousehockey team, THE CLOUD HOPPERS. We intend to kick some tail by scoring the most with the mouseypucks. Go Team Go!!!! Last 3 pictures are of our newest to arrive 1st wk of August

THE JOKE about the three stages of an actress in Hollywood - babe, district attorney, "Driving Miss Daisy" - is so good, we repeat it even if it isn't true anymore.
The truth is the business is getting to be much friendlier to "older" actresses, especially if you factor in television.
Norristown's Maria Bello is now forty-something, she's mother of a 10-year-old boy, and she's busier than ever - a new movie ("Beautiful Boy") opens today, she has two more in the hopper, and she's about to embark on the American version of the venerated Helen Mirren BBC series "Prime Suspect," the quintessential plum role.

Shale oil and gas has been a boon for several domestic exploration and production companies, but not everyone has had as much success accessing this newer resource. Both ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM ) and Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE: RDS-A ) stated during their recent conference calls that their North American shale assets have not performed as expected. What is most surprising about that revelation is that, unlike previous quarters, natural gas prices have been steadily increasing and the spread between domestic and foreign crudes is at its lowest in a couple years.
So what is making these giant oil companies struggle? One issue that could be likely is that big oil is at a slight disadvantage due to not being first movers in these spaces. Therefore, these big companies may have ended up with more acreage outside the "sweet spots" in these new shale plays. Tune into the video below where Fool.com contributor Tyler Crowe looks at the rough quarter in shale for the oil giants, and ponders what these companies can do to turn it around.
The experience of the oil giants in the shale revolution should be a cautionary tale for investors: not every company will benefit. So picking the best companies for your portfolio is akin to picking a needle from a pile of rusty needles. For this reason, we have put together a comprehensive look at three energy companies set to soar during this transformation in the energy industry. Let us help you discover these three companies that are spreading their wings by checking out our special report, "3 Stocks for the American Energy Bonanza."

I have a Hanukkah [Channukah, hannukah, chanukkah- it all goes] party coming up and I have been looking around online for some creative inspiration, but coming up short. I also want my daughter to start getting excited for the holiday and have some reminders up around the house. I didn't want the traditional blue&white, but still wanted to stay more Jewishy than "generic holiday-y". Seriously I found nothing. Martha Stewart did have this clever tutorial to make a "six pointed star" cut out that I thought I could do something with. And I remembered that I have had this bundle of origami paper in my desk for, oh, like 10 years. I wouldn't have picked out that pattern set today, but I think that made it a bit more interesting.
I cut around 70 of them before I had any idea of what to do and a garland seemed to fit the project best. So here is an honest to goodness non- blue&white Hanukkah decoration tutorial.
Hanukkah Non-Blue&White Star Garland
40+ squares of patterned paper
White cotton string
View image larger with instructions here.
- Fold a square of paper in half to form a rectangle
- Fold the top right corner over to match 1/4 from the bottom left edge
- Fold the left side over so the top left border is even with the right edge fold
- Using the top point as a guide, fold the whole "triangle" in half
- Turn the shape sideways with the folded edge at the top
- Cut from the center of the bottom edge, diagonally, up towards where the fold overlaps [see image for this one]
- You want to cut a perfect isosceles triangle
- Open and enjoy your perfect star!
- Using a glue stick, put glue on the back of one star and line the string up with the center fold. Make sure that the points are facing up and down.
- Stick the second star on top of the first, sandwiching the string.
- Do this 20+ more times to create a garland!
Notes: If I were to do this again I would have created a template of the cut so that each star was the same- each of my stars is a little different so they don't match perfectly when glued together. Good thing I am not a perfectionist. Also, my 2 1/2 year old helped with the gluing- her favorite part. She was also excellent at taking off and putting the lid back on the glue stick. When I put the garland up she exclaimed, "soooooo boootiful!" so I guess it is a festive winner in this household.
Cheers and happy Hanukkah!!

• Fifty patients undergoing cholecystectomy either electively or urgently were treated in the postoperative period with the intrapleural injection of 30 mL of 0.75% bupivacaine hydrochloride with epinephrine (1:200 000). The frequency of narcotic administration and the postoperative stay were compared with those of 50 historical controls. The group receiving intrapleural regional analgesia had significant, prolonged pain relief requiring minimal narcotic analgesics in the first 24 hours postoperatively and had a significantly shortened hospital stay. There were no complications related to catheter insertion or bupivacaine toxic effects. This technique is safe and effective in controlling perioperative pain.

10,001 Ways to Live Large on a Small Budget Review
Earlier this week I gave away three copies of Wise Bread's new book – 10,001 Ways to Live Large on a Small Budget, while promising a review later in the week.
Like Wise Bread, this book is colorful, approachable, and while I haven't confirmed the actual number of tips, 10,001 doesn't seem that far off. The two main sections of the book are Frugality and Personal Finance, with a staggering 196 pages devoted to Frugality alone. If you're going to live large on a small budget, frugality is going to have to be a regular part of your vocabulary!

Nice and central location. Perfect for 4 or less people
The apartment is in a great location, near the Stazione Santa Lucia, so do not go with all the luggage through Venice. The apartment is super nice in a quiet alley, and yet it is only 1-2 minutes among the tourists. The apartment is located on the ground floor and is directly surrounded by a canal. Unfortunately, the heating did not work, and we had cold (but were rare in the apartment and so it did not bother). The house is very loud, but as I said in the holiday anyway you spend only a short time in the apartment. Otherwise, the flat was clean and cozy.
Die Wohnung ist super gelegen, in der Nähe der Stazione Santa Lucia, so muss man nicht mit dem ganzen Gepäck durch Venedig gehen. Die Wohnung liegt super schön in einer ruhigen Gasse, und dennoch ist man in 1-2 Minuten unter den Touristen. Das Apartment befindet sich im Parterre und ist direkt von einem Kanal umgeben. Leider ging die Heizung nicht, und wir hatten kalt (waren jedoch selten in der Wohnung und daher störte es nicht). Das Haus ist sehr ringhörig, aber wie gesagt im Urlaub verbringt man sowieso nur kurze Zeit in der Wohnung. Ansonsten war die Wohnung sauber und gemütlich.
The apartment is very nice and clean, the location is great. I recommend it.
L'appartamento è molto carino e pulito, la posizione è ottima. Lo consiglio.
nice apartment ... as shown in the pictures!
nette Wohnung ... genauso wie auf den Bildern gezeigt!
Great apartment, brand new, modern and very clean. Fully equipped, washing machine to dry hair, through the vacuum cleaner and towels. A little bit away in a quiet environment away from the lively but only 5 minutes walk from St Mark's Square and Rialto 10.
Super appartement, tout neuf, moderne et très propre.
Parfaitement équipé, de la machine à laver au sèche cheveux, en passant par l'aspirateur et les serviettes de toilette.
Un peu peu à l'écart dans une impasse au calme des quartiers animés mais seulement à 5 minutes à pied de la place St Marc et 10 du Rialto.
Very nice location and arrangements to get into the apartment were great. It was a little small for 6 ppl. Apartment was very clean but there was an odor form the shower that was a bit of a problem and hopefully can be fixed for future renters.
Beautiful renovated apartment in a quiet area with all the necessary equipment Located a few minutes walk from St. Mark's Square in a quiet and friendly (bar, restaurant, small shops) Small flat: air conditioning but only in the main room. The address can be confusing: the alley overlooking Corte Nuova Via Giuseppe Garibaldi
Très bel appartement rénové au calme avec tout l'équipement nécessaire
Situé à quelques minutes à pied de la place Saint Marc dans un quartier calme et sympa(bar, resto, petits commerces)
Petit bémol : climatisé mais seulement dans la pièce principale.
L'adresse peut porter à confusion: la ruelle Corte Nuova donne sur Via Giuseppe Garibaldi
We were very pleased with the apartment. Made for a great stay in venice- easy to get to the Vaporatto stops on both the Grand Canal and those on the northern shore and easy to access the bus terminal/ rail station when arriving leavig for the airport.
We were met by a very good guide , meeting us on time and showing us the flat and pointing out the shops and area well.
We had a small problem with the spare keys not working and the toaster but those were sorted out very quickly.
It was all very smart, clean and comfortable - we especailly liked the good aircon unit - it was very hot and humid in late august this year (2012)
VERY VERY GOOD POSITION! Near a very nice Campo, you can walk everywhere in 15 Minutes.
We liked our stay there, our Children too.
The only Minus: The Flat (bathroom) could be more cleaner.
Nice apartment, new condition. However listing says it has internet which is one key reason I chose it. The apartment does NOT have internet service. I asked about it when checking in and got no answer. I called their maintenance people and nothing happened. Also the beds are new, but uncomfortable in our opinions as extremely soft.

Extra, Extra, Read All About It!!!
Great News! We didn't evolve from monkeys!
Check out our great new Feature Section —
"Discovery News!"
This section is dedicated to the publications that have been put together by Discovery News' Chuck Anderson. Chuck is a missionary that takes groups to different places, some include: the Lakota Sioux indian reservation in South Dakota, various locations in Arizona, New Mexico and Uganda (Africa) and others.
He has designed "newspapers" that feature interesting pictures and articles that support the fact that God created everything, then softly moves to the topic of salvation and finally giving the plan of salvation so that all that read this paper will learn how Christ died for our sins and has designed a plan for us to be able to get to heaven and he shares how they can receive that pardon.
These papers can be passed out virtually anywhere. They work especially well on college campuses, flea markets, fairs and even just going up and down streets handing them to all who want them. He even makes it possible for masses of these to be sent out to specific mailing lists — free of charge. That's right, his ministry is sharing the gospel wherever possible.
On occasion, you might have the ability to share the gospel (going from start to finish) with someone, and he has put together a flip chart, one that you can put in your pocket and one that you can prop up on a table somewhere in front of the person. These charts are pictorial, colorful and eye catching so it keeps the attention of the hearer/viewer.
The intent of this new section is not to glorify Chuck Anderson (although he has done a great job with it all) but rather to glorify God. It is designed to get the articles "put out there", much in the way he has them in the papers and charts, so that it can catch someone's attention and they can read it all the way through, or just one article at a time. It might also be something that you can read to understand some of those things that the evolutionists will throw at you — then you will be ready to answer them intelligently.
You owe it to yourself to at least take a look through this presentation. It really is quite interesting, and I hope I do it justice in its presentation to you — I can't really post a newspaper, now can I?
Check out the Testimonies section: featuring select Christian testimonies that are intended to enrich and encourage Christians. Also, check out our new resource in the Armed To Be Dangerous section. It is designed to be a resource for the Christians that are looking to see what the Bible has to say about a particular subject. Keep in mind that it is under construction and I am updating the subjects as I can. Keep checking back and/or write a comment or email me and request the information that you are looking for and I will see what I can come up with for you. You might also check through the blog in the different areas, I may have already written/posted something about what you are looking for.
For those of you who are new Christians, please visit our Growing in Grace section which is a Bible study written by Dr. Ed Nelson, that is geared for the New Christian that hardly knows anything about being a Christian and what a Christian needs to believe according to the Bible. We are going through a 13 week course that covers the main parts of Christianity and our theology. Take the opportunity to get in on this study starting with week 1 and move through the study as it suggests that you do. If there are any questions on any part of it, feel free to post a comment and I will see that it is answered.
For the Christians that have been around for a while, there is more meat for you to chew on in our Bible Study section. We address the harder subjects that newer Christians might not be able to understand.
I am starting to go through a Core Beliefs area that will go through the in-depth subjects about what the Bible says about subjects that might be a little difficult for most people to talk about because they don't know that much about it. These beliefs are not based on a religion or denomination or even a cult, they are subjects that are addressed directly with the Bible as the Source and our Lord speaking out on certain subjects as they come about. Check it out and see what you are missing out on.
If you are looking for a quick quote to lift you up or get you to think, check out our Quotes section.
What is your story?
Everyone has a story. Let us publish yours. Follow the link above to find out how.
Remember to sign up for the updates by email at the top right of the page so that when I publish something to this site, you will get it in your email inbox. And, we also have a place on Facebook where we discuss the behind the scenes functions of our blog site. What better way for you to keep up with the growth of the Christians Are Us group. Jump in and keep up. I will add subject matter as much and as fast as I can. It takes a lot of studying and searching and typing and formatting and button pushing and other stuff to make it happen. (At least give me the satisfaction to know that someone is seeing it.)
Make sure to guide your other Christian friends to this site. What better way to get your new converts to become discipled if you aren't able to. I am providing all you need to do that.
Learn how you can share the Word of God with others when you are put in the position to do so. I provide you with multiple methods of sharing the Word of God. There are also scriptures for different subjects that you can use to refute their objections. Become the authority on the subject instead of letting someone beat you down with objections that, honestly, they don't even know much about. And you are going to let them get you down and run away with your tail between your legs? Don't let that happen. God's word tells us that we are supposed to be ready to give an answer "to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear" (1 Peter 3:15).
I pray that you will get as much of a blessing from this blog as I get from producing it.
Thank you all and God bless you,
Mark Davis – Administrator.

I made my annual NASCAR pilgrimage to Dover, Del., last weekend for the FedEx 400 and 5-Hour Energy 200 at Dover International Speedway.
It's a trip I look forward to every year, and for a race fan, what could be better- two days of racing, a total of 600 miles around the concrete Monster Mile.
And yet, for all the excitement that surrounded last weekend's racing for me, there was a bit of disappointment, maybe even a melancholy feeling, over how things at Dover have consistently changed for the worse over the past several years.
Article Photos
A track that was once packed to the gills with 140,000 revved-up race fans has become a sparsely filled grandstand with a glaring number of empty sections. No other sign shouted downfall than the five large advertisement banners that covered the once-filled lower sections of stands in Turn 3.
That's right, five whole sections completely covered up, not even available to fans.
It used to be that you had to show up early just to get a parking spot anywhere near the track - our parking destination was always the same white house within about a mile of the track, just before you reached the campus of Delaware State University.
Our Sundays involved getting up between 6 and 7 a.m., eating a quick breakfast and getting to the track at around 9 a.m. after the hour trip from our hotel. It involved getting to the track early to avoid the large crowds at the gates and getting back to the car as soon as possible to avoid any major traffic jams.
It even involved finding an alternate route that was quicker and most importantly, avoid those same traffic jams.
However, in the past two years, things have changed dramatically. The traffic jams are still there but aren't nearly as significant and stressful as they used to be. Our departure times on Sunday -before and after the race, have changed. We now leave about an hour or so later than we used to, not having to deal with the massive amounts of cars filing in for the race.
We no longer park at that white house off College Road. Our cars now settle in a parking lot right across the street. And getting out of the quaint town of Dover is nothing like it used to be, less traffic to deal with and a much less stressful beginning of our trip home.
While those parts are nice -getting up at the crack of dawn was never my thing -it's a sign of what Dover has become, and for that matter, what NASCAR races have come.
People simply aren't coming to the track like they used to.
Blame the economy, which this year included gas prices hovering around $3.50 a gallon depending on where you were, blame an enslaught of somewhat boring that has occured this year, or in Dover's case, blame the two ridiculous bridges they built on the backstrech, one of the reasons there were empty sections in both Turn 2 and 3, where those bridges obstruct a fan's view.
It wasn't that long ago that Dover, a track that still features some of the best racing on the circuit, added seats to bring its capacity to 140,000 seats. The estimated attendance for Sunday's race, according to the official race report, was around 85,000 people, just over half of the alotted seats.
To lessen the problem of so many empty seats, the track will undergo a project, set to be completed in 2014, that will widen all seats to 22 inches, compared to the normal 18 inches. That will make fans more comfortable and will reduce the seating capacity to 113,000, a sign that the track is trying to create a better experience for the fans that do show up and also trying to combat the somewhat embarassing amount of empty seats every race weekend.
It's an empty feeling for all involved, and it's happening all over NASCAR.
The decline in attendance really seems to be hurting some of the sport's most historic tracks -tracks like Dover, Martinsville, Darlington, even Bristol. These tracks aren't in huge media markets like tracks in California, Michigan, Texas, or even Homestead-Miami Speeday, which gets all the attention as the final race of the year.
So are we at the point where we're forced to watch two races a year at Michigan, Kanas, Phoenix, etc., while races at Dover, Martinsville, Darlington, etc., are limited to just one race?
The sport certainly seems to be headed that way. It's already happened to Darlington, which now only hosts the Southern 500. Several years ago, Rockingham was taken off the schedule while newer, cookie-cutter tracks that lend themselves to boring race were slowly installed into the mix.
There have been suggestions that Martinsville might lose a race, and even a family member of mine heard on the radio that Dover might be subjected to just one race in the near future.
And at Pocono Raceway, the site of today's Cup race, the events have been slashed this year from 500 to 400 miles due to some fan discontent about the races at the 2.5-mile triangle track being too long. It's just another attempt by NASCAR to keep fans enthused.
It's not a fair to remove one of a track's races simply because the stands are only half, or a third of the way full. NASCAR has to consider what is going on in the country, an economy where millions are without jobs and are struggling to get by. So naturally, there is going to be a decline in fans.
It's happening in all sports, but you don't see the NFL or baseball shortening their seasons. In fact, the NFL has been trying to extend its season.
But maybe shortening the season is what NASCAR needs to do. Maybe having a schedule that's four or five races shorter will make each race more in demand. If there's less opportunities to go to a race, the stands each week might be fuller with fans who might be afraid of missing out on seeing a race live.
With so many races, 36 to be exact, the fans are spread thin through the sport's 23 race tracks.
So NASCAR needs to just wait things out and not take the axe to any more tracks, like it did to Atlanta two years and Darlington a few years before that.
The fans are still there, and they're just as passionate. They just need time to bounce back on their feet. And when they do, so will NASCAR.

Westmont advances to NAIA Women's Basketball Final Four
Warriors led by Ester Lee, Tugce Canitez beat Westminster
POSTED: 06:11 PM PDT Mar 16, 2013 UPDATED: 06:50 PM PDT Mar 16, 2013
Since last December, the Westmont Warriors have had payback on their mind. Westminster of Pennsylvania beat the Warriors 62-29, its worst loss of the year.
Fittingly, Westmont (28-4) got a chance to make things right, this time in the NAIA Women's Basketball Championship Tournament quarterfinals. Westmont beat Westminster 39-36 to advance to the NAIA Div. I Final Four.
