I- THE SEMI-CENTENNIAL THE MOST DRAMATIC OF INDEPENDENCE DAY INCIDENTS, There is a catch in that state-xuent, but there is also a for-vthose who get them. When tt coxnes riie Author and the Chief Advocate of the DeclaratloB of Independence-Their Death* Were So Bemarhablo That Many Saw a FroTideoco In It. Beyond question the most Interesting fact in the history of Independence day Is that the man who drafted the Declaration and the man who stood at his side when he introduced it into congress, and who predicted with accuracy its future fame, died upon the same day and exactly fifty years after completing tho greatest act of their lives. They differed inrfilmost every element 'of character, yet both were ardent patriots, upright law makers, and, in their ways, able statesmen. The Massachu-Betts man, with a Pmitanical education and inherent dlfltrust of universal suffrage, and the Virginian, of extremely liberal training and unbounded faith in democracy, worked their way to exactly the same conclusion in regard to Great Britain and the colonies. They stood together like brothers while the war lasted, then became the heads of radically differing parties, and were not reconciled till age had cooled their ambition and retirement had allowed resentment to die. They probably agreed more nearly as to religious questions than any other. John Adams called himself a Unitarian, and posterity has agreed to call Thomas Jefferson a Deist, yet it is impossible to define with any exactness how they differed as to the attributes of God or the moral government of the universe. Adams certainly said the harsher things of Calvinism, but that was probably because he lived whore Calvinism was still the ruling power; and it is amusing to note that Jefferson, who never spoke of any man's religion when he could decently avoid it, was long and vehemently denounced as a blasphemer and "French infidel," while Adams was popularly regarded as orthodox. The popular instinct, however, was sound; the mind of Adams was reverential-to a degree far greater than that of Jefferson. Some old writer has summed up their alliance in the Eevolution, for different reasons, by saying that Adams wanted the existing liberties of Englishmen secured by establishing a greater and better England in America, wbilp Jefferson wanted a new system, root and branch, to secure the absolute liberties of human nature. John Adams was bom Oct. 19, 1735, and Thomas Jefferson April 3, 1743; the former also lived a few hours the later, Iiis age at death being within three months of 91, while that of Jefferson was but 83. Jefferson was an extreme blonde, Adams somewhat darker; the fomer was tall and in youth somewhat ungainly, while the latter was rather below tho mediimi size, firmly knit and gi-acefu] from his youth. Their friendship seemed to increase till the peace and they corresponded freely; but in their first service abroad each had an exiierience which even then indicated that they were soon to be political opponents, the narration of which is both amusing and instructive. Jolm Adams, as the first American minister to England, was, to put it bluntly, snubbed; Thomas Jefferson, on the contrary, was received with enthusiastic welcome at the court of France. The former denoimced George lU and his ministers, but bestowed high praise on the British government and people; the latter passed King Louis XVI over with immi mm the peopie. We are aware that the term 'Bargains" is much abused; because under ;the g^ise of bargains many firms work off old stocks. New Goods of best grade at prices a shade lower than are made elsewhere on goods that are old enough to vote. men and patriots descended hand In hand, as It were, to tnp grave. On the evening of July 8,182C, it became evident that Jefferson wtt9 dying. A little after midnight he revived and remarked, "This is the Fourth of July." Early in tho forenoon he became unconscious and soon after noon expired-within one hour of exactly fifty years after presenting tho Declaration to congress. About 3 o'clock the same day.-Mr. Adams was roused by hearing the shouts of tho people in a distant grove, celebrating tho day. He mentioned the fact and added, "Thomas Jefferson still lives." Soon after he breathed his lost. As the slow mails of those days spread the news the people were overcome by tho gi'eat coincidence and remarked that heaven itself had set the seal of its high approval upon their gieat work by calling home on its first semi-centennial the author and the chief supporter of the Declaration of Indejwhdence. i J. H. Beadle. DKOPPED WITH THE rABACHUTE. ABiaAIL abajus. something very like a sneer, and railed at his queen. When Minister Adams, after long delay, met George III for tho first time the king said abruptly: "Mr. Adams, I wish you to understand that I was the last man to consent to the independence of .America." : Adams made an equally brnsque reply: "I have no feeling or affection save for my own oonntryi" "An honest man vnll have no other," rejoined the king; and so they soon became good friends. When Minister Jefferson was introduced to Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, his queen, they overwhelmed him with compliments and good wishes for "our dear allies, the Americana," to which he replied with onljr oCQcial conr-tesyjBnd was soon intensely interested in the signs of the coming French revo-' Intion. It was plain, even then, that Thomas Jefferson would defend that revolution: That Adama wanted a stronger central govemmenii for the United. States luiAJ�ffer8on a larger measnre of local indqjtendeace la a fact known to all. Two parties formed, and then came the French revolution and roused political pas^ons to the boiling point. If the two had! been superior to human nature and intent on. remaining friends, their furi-otu partinms would pot have allowed it. They exchanged only the coldest oflQciajl courtesieB, and for thirteen years did not correapond. The indignation of Mrs. Abigail Adams over a wrong done to her aon, John . Quincy, was indirectly the oanae of .reconciliation. She asked for an explanatiQn; Jefferson wrote and convinced hwihat he voB In no wayceapon-fiUe^ an^i-^ apon; the old eauMtiaetfwm tte two clfl rtilw rrlffhtful JCaU of a I.iidy Aeronaut nt f/ley�lu'nd, O. Cleveland, O., Jime 80.-"Estella Leroy," a Cleveland girl, whose real name is Hull, attempted to take her first balloon ascension and parachute jump at Beyerle's park. She failed, however, and narrowly escapsd serious in jury and perhaps death. The balloon was inflated with hot air, and an employe named Ed French was sent inside to keep it from igniting from sparks from the fire. He was forgotten, and when the balloon was sufficiently inflated it was cut loose and shot up into the air. French was not prepared for the ascension and he began to scramble put. One of his feet caught itt the ropes and he hung head downward. After a vigorous struggle he succeeded In extricating himself, wlien the balloon was about thirty feet from the earth, and after turaing two somersHults in the air he alighted on the ground on his face and was severely injured^ The struggles of French loosened the parachute from the. balloon, and when at the height of 100 feet it suddenly broke loose. The parachute does not open until it has traversed a considerable distance, and the woman descended with a rush. There was a loud cry of terror and a general stampede. Fortunately the aeronaut fell into the branches of a large, tree, and was rescued without sustdining any injury-She was considerably frightened, but declared her intention of trying the feat again. Why KnTolopes' Are Kodeenicd. Some people have an Idea that the government redeems postago stamps when from any cause they become unfit for use or are difficult to use. Frequently sheets of stamps are stuck'i^togetlier, or are torn or injured. Tho loss, if any, falls upon the owner, as the government refuses to assume any responsibility for stamps when once sold. The agents of the government, the pastmasters, can redeem stamps which they have for sale, if through any accident they become unfit for use. But when the citizen buys a stamp ho either uses it In the legitimate way or elao ho ia out the value of the stamp. The government, however, redeems stamped envelopes. It one should happen to be misdirected or should become blotted, or for any reason a person should wish to tear open a stamped envelope after he had sealed it for mailing, he can bring it to the postofBco and get a brand new envelope in its place. The reason of this difference in the treatment of the adhesive stamp and the stamped envelope is that the adhesive stamp can be used and then washed and passed as good, unless a careful scrutiny is made. If tho government should begin the practice of redeeming adhesive stamps the opportunities for fraud would be increased. Then the adhesive stamps are manufactured at a cost to the government, which the stamped envelope is not. The stamps are furnished to the public at the face value, and out of this has to come the cost of manufacture, but in the case of stamped envelopes they are sold at their face value, plus the cost of manufacture.-Washington Star. _ "One Dollar, Please." "What is this doUor for, miss?" "To build a church," was the reply from a plain, almost homely young lady who stood by my office ch air. Yet she had such a wholesome face,: there was something so unmistakably, solidly Rood about the face, that I credited her without hesitation. I never asked what kind of a church, whether it ^iras Methodist, Baptist, Roman Catholic or Jewish; I simply knew we 'could not have too many churches in our big city. Would I give a dollar to build a new church? Well, I reckon so. She had it promptly. Two gentlemen who were sitting in my office each volunteered a do! lar before she could ask-men who rarely if ever enter a church. Some weeks after I had occasion* to ask, and found that this one young lady had picked up a thousand easy dollars for so good a cause. She said: "Hardly any one refused me. People are better at heart than the*churches sometimes think they are .when the pastor is preaching against 'the -vvicked world.' "- New York Weekly. Tolitoi In Poor Health. Count Leo Tolstoi, we are sorry to hear; is seriously ill. He has Inflammation of the bowels; and, as those who have read bis latest novel will be aufflciently aware, he has a bitter antipathy to doctors. There is a danger, we fear, of the count emulating the "Peculiar People" in declining to have medical assistance, and in that case the world is likely to have nothing more from the pen of the author of "Anna Karenina." It is deplorable that the man whose literary works have made such a deep mark upon the minds of his contemporaries all over Europe, and whose latter day influence ever sinde he turned teacher and preacher has had the largest and strongest element of good, should fall in Us old age into the quagmire of whimsies indicated by the_extreme doctrines of "The Kreutzer Sona!a" and by. such hobbies of a recluse as this contempt for the aid of medicine.-Fall Hall Gazette. .

Tourism in Rwanda
Tourism in Rwanda is rapidly increasing since the genocide that took place in 1994.[1] In 2010, 666,000 tourists visited the country. This resulted in tourism revenues of $200 million, an increase of 14% over 2009.[2]
Wildlife tourism[edit]
Rwanda is located in Central Africa (but the political community is on the side of East Africa) and has much history and natural beauty. There are many interesting sights to see, with many guided tours to choose from. Each tour group is led by an experienced guide that specialises in teaching others about the landscape and wildlife of Rwanda. There are expeditions to places like volcanoes, waterfalls and rainforests which are home to many different African animals.
Rwanda is home to a huge diverse population of animals including mountain gorillas and the largest natural park for hippos - some 20,000 are believed to be there. Although Rwanda is still a developing country, it has quite a few hotels and its new international interest in tourism is giving it a comeback.
Plastic bags are banned in Rwanda, and tourists are warned not to bring them to the country.

We all know that Android has more security vulnerabilities when compared to Apple. The OS is open, ripe for malware apps, and sometimes plagued with a more lenient approval process for Market apps. On the occasion of Google's announcement of its support for the H.264 video codec in Chrome, Steve Chang, Trend Micro founder and chairman, made public his view on the security issues of the Android operating system: "Android is open-source, which means the hacker can also understand the underlying architecture and source code. We have to give credit to Apple, because they are very careful about it."
On the other hand, Chang asserts that Apple has addressed this issue since the beginning by creating a "sandbox concept that isolates the platform, which prevents certain viruses that want to replicate themselves or decompose and recompose to avoid virus scanners."
Sophos, anti-virus programme developer, shares the same opinion regarding Android's vulnerability to malware attacks, especially through malicious Facebook messages. Sophos' and Trend's statements seem to have a marketing hint aimed at increasing their products that fight malware attacks–of course you'll need their security apps for your Android phones.
Speaking of top technology products that are offered at the moment, we must mention Lookout Mobile, the smartphone security company. Lookout Mobile launched a premium service, in addition to already offering a free one.
With respect to security, Lookout published a list of tips on their website in order to increase security of mobile devices. The setting of a password so as to protect stored data in cases of theft or loss is the first step to be taken. Secondly, the updated must be downloaded constantly as they address the latest issues in software. Other pieces of advice mention the use of anti-viruses and the download of apps from trusted sites after having previously read reviews and ratings on them. Also, 'find your phone' apps, cautiousness in accessing links from SMSs and public WiFi networks.

I do not OC often but when I do I make sure that I am not wearing a hoodie. When I see someone with a hoodie it always perks up my SA.
I was wondering how you tell whether or not someone noticed you? If they make a comment, or otherwise react, either positively or negatively, then sure, you can tell. What if someone notices, but doesn't react in any way whatsoever? I guess you can be noticed, but not know you're being noticed. Or maybe you notice people not noticing you? Is it just the overall sense that people around you are in a fog, anyway, or your usual SA is just being tuned into such things? I'm not being sarcastic, just want to get your thoughts on that, so I threw out a couple of possibilities.

Then the next day, meeting with lawyers, I wore tan shorts, a white shirt, and a different pistol in an IWB holster. Stood up, shook hands, sat down, talked for a while, & they never noticed it. Looked suprised when I pointed it out.
Earlier this year, wearing a short jacket (concealing is illegal here) I was downtown with the "guns save lives" truck. Got to talking with the driver for a while, & he asked if OC was legal in WI, as he'd seen someone else handing out pamphlets who was OC something shiny.
I said, "look at my hip".
He did, & looked a little startled, then laughed.
We'd been within 5' of each other, him on my strong side, for at least 5 minutes.
Poor word choice in the thread title.
I'm thinking "less noticeable" or more inconspicuous would probably have been more applicable to the actual thread topic.
My daughter works at a BBQ place and told me this morning that last night some "dude with a gun" came in to the place. She said "it was so freaky". I said "people who OC are not going to be felons therefore you can rest assured knowing the following things about this guy:
1. He isn't a convicted felon
2. He has never been involved in a violent crime
3. he has never been involved in domestic violence
4. Is unable to consume alcohol and be drunk and dumb
What do you know about all your other patrons?"
My own daughter, scared of guns. I OC around the house all the time and CC everywhere we go, yet she still is caught up like the rest of the uneducated public in "guns are bad".
People are bad, guns protect me from bad people.
We live in a society of people who are on auto pilot. They are busy keeping themselves occupied.

I see these two type of situations all the time. I think about their situational awareness and how easy it would be for someone to take advantage of thier nieve nature.

New Stilt Bug Species DiscoveredBy Luis Pons
July 24, 2002
Two new species of stilt bugs, a common and diverse group of insects that includes both friend and foe to agricultural crops, have been discovered by an Agricultural Research Service scientist.
Entomologist Thomas J. Henry of the ARS Systematic Entomology Laboratory, Washington, D.C., has described a species new to science from VietnamYemmatropis erectus. He found this predatory stilt bug at the Bernice Bishop Museum in Honolulu, Hawaii, among specimens that had been collected by scientists during a faunal survey of Southeast Asia.
Another new species recognized by Henry, Hoplinus paulai, is--like most stilt bugs--poorly known. The genus Hoplinus is found from the western United States and Canada south to Argentina and southern Brazil and Chile. But H. paulai is known only from the state of Minas Gerais in Brazil.
Stilt bugs are a relatively small group of unusual hemipterans, or true bugs, that possess long, slender legs, leathery front wings and membranous hind wings. Most notably, their legs and antennae are often longer than their bodies.
While some are beneficial and prey on crop pests such as aphids, mites, cotton budworm and tomato hornworms, others are serious pests of tomato, cotton and cacao. Despite the abundance of some stilt bugs, the habits and hosts of most species are unknown.
According to Henry, recognition of these stilt bugs will assist quarantine and regulatory agencies in halting potentially important foreign species from entering the United States.
Read more about this finding in the July issue of Agricultural Research magazine.

Balance Trust With Targeting In Social Reach Marketing
Posted by Zachary Reiss-Davis on October 30, 2013
- 104 Recommendations
- 5 comments
Your customers don't come to your website or your own social channels (such as your Facebook brand page) to discover whether what you offer meets a need or fulfills a desire they have. Instead, people discover you mostly through ads and word of mouth (WOM). To spread your message to a new audience, update your understanding of "reach channels" to include not only traditional tactics such as TV, search, and print but also the three key social tactics for this phase of the life cycle: influencer marketing, advocate marketing, and social advertising.
In my most recent research report, I examine how these different reach tactics are related and how you should balance trust and targeting in your social reach strategy. Specifically, there are four categories of contributors create content on your behalf:
- Your marketing team uses social ads to target your prospects and customers precisely.
- Employees, resellers, and partners share their experiences with your prospects.
- Your customers relate to your prospects as peers.
- Influencers shape the conversation about your solutions.
Each of those content creators varies on how much its messages will be trusted by your customers and how precisely you can target its messaging. The most highly trusted tactics are effective but can be difficult to use and spread. On the other hand, less trusted tactics are less persuasive, but you control their creation and audience.
As you build your social strategy, you should craft your reach strategy based on the complexity and length of your product life cycle, where more-complex product purchases require the most trust and simpler product purchases benefit most from better targeting.
I lay out these axes of trust versus targeting and the independence of the author from your brand in this figure:
I would love to hear your thoughts on this new framework, either in a comment below or on Twitter.

Really thoughtful framework.
I have some questions about the relative positioning of the different marketing tactics - and I'd love to know the empirical basis for this. Commissioned / paid-for blog posts seem surprisingly high as an example.
There is an added dimension which is cost/reach. This seems to correlate strongly with the increase in-trust, although there might be outliers (incentivised reviews may be more expensive that customer advocacy, for example).
Great stuff
Comment from Michael Idinopulos (not verified) on Thu, 10/31/2013 - 09:10
This is great stuff--insightful, new, and actionable. I really like the distinction you draw in the full report between less considered purchases, where traditional marketing-driven targeting is most effective, and more considered purchases which are more informed by trust-based relationships. As a customer I agree with it, and as a marketer I'm fascinated by it.
Trust vs. Control
Comment from David Rowley (not verified) on Thu, 10/31/2013 - 09:13
"The most highly trusted tactics are effective but can be difficult to use and spread. On the other hand, less trusted tactics are less persuasive, but you control their creation and audience."
As you know, this balance is top of mind for me and Get Satisfaction. As a platform for the middle two pillars in your model, our focus is on leveraging highly trusted voice of customers and advocates, while providing the brand some control (or at least directional stimulus) in the creation of this user-generated content. It's an interesting balance that involves a bit of nuance and a level of indirection that some brands are reluctant to adopt at first. It's an interesting problem/opportunity.
Customers Determine Your Reputation Among Their Peers
Comment from Mick Twomey (not verified) on Thu, 10/31/2013 - 09:41
"Customers determine your reputation among their peers." This is very well said. Our own experiences and studies from Forrester and others have proven this time and time again.
The real key is finding a way to engage your biggest supporters and enable them to speak to their peers, your prospects, in a positive way. It's such a powerful tool for the reach aspect of marketing.
Thanks for a great research project.

Azeem -- I have not done a formal survey testing these tactics against each other, and I intentionally used them as example tactics in a broader framework. If you want to make the argument that, for example, commissioned blog posts should be slightly lower within the Influencer box, you may be correct. But I have them slight above thought-leadership content created by a marketing team, which feels correct to me.
Michael -- thanks. There was a limit to how much complexity I could get into in this blog post, but I encourage any customers to read the full report.
Dave -- You're right; it's certainly a balancing act!
Mick -- thanks; but it's not juts your customers, but a broader mix of people which determine your reputation as well.

Apple's iPhone is one of the most popular and highly anticipated smartphones in the world. Whether you love or hate Apple, the original iPhone revolutionised the way we view and use our phone and, at one time, was the only smartphone you would consider buying.
These days there are a whole host of manufacturers that create great smartphones, from Sony to LG and HTC to Nokia, while Samsung has sold hundreds of millions of its Galaxy series, led by the Samsung Galaxy S4.
Watch the iPhone 5S video review
Launched alongside the more price conscious iPhone 5C, the iPhone 5S is Apple's latest attempt to reclaim its 'king of phones' crown. It's more than twice as fast as its predecessor and comes with an improved camera and a brand new feature none of its competitors can match.
Whether you're an Apple fan or an Android aficionado we go in-depth to reveal whether the iPhone 5S and the new iOS7 update is all it's cracked up to be.
It's an angular, timeless design – elegant and slim. In hand the cut aluminium feels premium and solid, but the iPhone 5S is far lighter than most other phones. At just 112g it initially feels a little too light, especially if you're used to the iPhone 4S's glass and metal body. However the build is excellent and the 5S certainly doesn't feel flimsy the way some lighter phones can.
The highly engineered body feels quality, but it isn't the most comfortable. The diamond cut edges are a little sharp, not sharp enough to cause any real discomfort but slightly more rounded edges would make it easier to hold for long periods of time.
However, iPhone 5S is thin and light enough to easily warrant a case, whether it's the pricey £35 leather case Apple announced with it or a third-party one. Using the leather case significantly softens the phone and makes it much more pleasurable to hold.
A double LED flash is next to the camera while on the front the screen bezels are slim. The home button is detailed in a metal ring that provides a useful function, the Touch ID – more on that later.
All buttons are instantly accessible using one hand without having to ever juggle the phone. The one difference it has from most other phones is that the 3.5mm headphone jack is at the bottom. It's a little odd at first, but actually makes sense when you consider that a phone goes top first into a pocket so you don't have to flip it round when you take it out.
As a 4-inch phone the iPhone 5S is significantly smaller than all its direct Android and Windows 8 competitors. Deciding whether the smaller screen is a benefit or weakness will depend entirely on you and whether you value screen real-estate over ease of use.
Samsung has managed to keep the Galaxy S4 as tidy as possible, but its 5-inch screen means that it is more of a handful and it can be tricky to reach some areas of the screen when used one-handed. The 4.7-inch screen on the HTC One is slightly more manageable.
From left to right: the iPhone 5S, iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S4
While the iPhone 5S trails behind this competition in terms of sheer size you might find it much more comfortable to use day-to-day if you have average sized hands. It also tends to fit in a pocket easier.
So the 5S looks likes its predecessor, but that's where the similarities end .
iPhone 5S – Touch ID
We've already mentioned that the iPhone 5S has an ace up its sleeve. It is a finger-print scanner called Touch ID, discreetly integrated into the metal ring around the iPhone 5S's menu button.
This could easily have been a gimmick, a feature that offers a lot of marketing potential with little functional use, like the back buttons on the LG G2.
Thankfully Apple has made no mistake with it, just the way Sony has managed to crack waterproofing a phone with the Xperia Z1.
Initially you need to set up your fingers or thumbs to be recognised. This takes around 30 seconds and involves tapping the button repeatedly while the complex contours of your fingerprints are mapped. You can add up to five fingers, whether they're all your own or someone you want to share access with.
The key thing Apple has managed to achieve with Touch ID is flawless execution. It's easy to forget that your phone is locked at all when a tap of the home button to wake the iPhone 5S also unlocks it.
If you never lock your phone then you'll have little use for Touch ID, other than to authorise app purchases. Even if you do lock your phone you might think tapping a four digit PIN or drawing a symbol is not too much of a barrier to access. However, once you experience the ease of Touch ID it's hard to not become a convert.
Aside from the fact it works so well (even when you turn the phone upside down the iPhone 5S unlocks without a hitch) it is far more secure than a four digit PIN or symbol. A fingerprint is yours and yours alone. While there is a way for the very determined to copy your fingerprints, it's highly unlikely to be worth the effort. You also can't forget your fingers!
Fingerprint scanning leads us to a source of quite appropriate concern. No-one wants Apple to have millions of fingerprints on a massive database somewhere, no matter how well protected. Regular news and rumours about how the NSA and other governmental organisations demand, and are given, user information from companies brings trickles of sweat to even the most innocent and blasé.
So how has Apple combated the concern of iPhone 5S fingerprint databases falling into the wrong hands? In quite a simple way, they don't keep any. Fingerprint scans are encrypted and stored locally only. In other words only on the iPhone 5S – in one secure section of the CPU, not in the user accessible memory.
If you're extremely security conscious or have highly sensitive data on your phone then fingerprint locking alone may not be enough. It's here that Apple could have upped the security ante by allowing the option of dual-factor authentication – supporting the option of finger-print unlocking with a PIN. We hope this will be an option in future iOS updates.
The bottom line is Touch ID is not an industrial grade security measure, but that's fine. It is more secure than a four digit PIN and means you don't have to constantly input your iTunes password to make purchase, two things that make it a more than worthwhile addition.
The iPhone 5S has kept faith with the highly responsive 16:9 Retina-display 4-inch screen of its predecessor. The display offers a resolution of 1,136 x 640 with 326ppi. On paper it falls behind the 400ppi 1080 Super AMOLED screen on the Samsung Galaxy S4 and even further behind the 468PPI on the HTC One. To the human eye, however, there's very little in it, and the iPhone 5S is pin sharp and text looks crisp at all levels of zoom.
Regardless of the lack of iterative display improvements the iPhone 5S has one of the best screens on the market. Set it to maximum levels and it is a lot brighter than the other two, as well as offering better colour accuracy and a less 'saturated' look than the Samsung Galaxy S4.
Apple has also managed to remove a layer during the screen production process. This means that the images are not recessed but in fact almost appear to float on the glass. The effect is even more striking when combined with the new iOS7 parallax wallpapers that shimmer under the icons as the 5S is moved.
Where the screen of the iPhone 5S falters a little is with low-light video and images. Shady scenes are not quite as dark as they could be and blacks not as deep.
However, if there was one thing Apple could afford to retain from the iPhone 5 it was the screen. Considerations on whether it is right for you should centre around its size rather than quality. Is 4-inches big enough and do you intend to multi-task on a phone?
There have been some iOS 7 improvements to help with multitasking but you still won't be able to have two apps open on-screen at the same time. What you can do is double press the home button. This offers up a preview list of open apps, lets you dismiss them by flicking up, scroll through multiple pages if it's a browser or just easily flip from one app to another.
This is just one of the new features on the iPhone 5S, but there's a lot more to iOS 7.
"Will going from 32 to 64-bit benefit users? Well 64-bit will help the 3D graphical capabilities of the iPhone 5S. It's also required for high security apps. And Apple will need that for a unique new feature on the iPhone 5S, the fingerprint scanner."
Errr... that is simply not true. The move to 64 bit does not affect the 3D rendering pipeline in any meaningful way, and it certainly doesn't magically provide anything for high security apps.
64 bit is great for the desktop for memory and cpu intensive activities such as rendering and editing video. The fraction of a second better performance on usual phone applications is meaningless for iPhone 5s. The fingerprint scanner is just a distraction for being the same phone as last year. There is no innovation, no bigger screen, no additional button for quick instant camera function, list could go but Apple have lost new ideas.
I wonder how many people are like me and don't even bother with a lock screen at all, making the fingerprint sensor worthless. The screen is still dinky by today's standards which probably will cause people to jump to the Android wagon.
Who gives a damn about how big the screen is?! I can't believe big screens are still a thing! IT'S A PHONE NOT A TABLET! Call me old-fashioned, but I'm one of those people that actually wants my phone to fit in my pocket... much less, my hand! I mean what do you people do on your phones?! Watch a movie?! Um... hello! It's called A TV! Yeah we still have those! If you want a bigger screen get a tablet! The iPhone was built to be extremely efficient while also being EASY TO USE! That includes portability- fitting it into your pocket- and manageability- fitting it into your hand! I'm sorry, but when I have to call someone, I don't want to have to hold a tablet up to my face, so to speak. I mean what's next people?! The brick?!
What innovation does any other phone or Company do? All Samsung does is create really big screens. If Apple every fell to the same level as other Companies and created a 7" phone screens then everyone would love them. Don't bad mouth a company,because they feel differently on whats a good screen size.
LOL, so you call the following ideas "new" innovation?
Bigger screen
Extra button, for quick camera use.
What a joke.
Do you not understand how Apple produces phones? Every 2 years they give us a new design or model, however every opposite year they just update the current model. Quit bitching, because you didn't get what you want even though everyone knew the (s) phones don't change design, just internal mostly.
If Apple gave new design every year they would of been out of the phone business 2 years ago. The way they operate is how they have to operate, when they don;t produce 50 different models of phones like Andriod.
With all this discussion on wether or not Apple is done innovating, here is my take. I think the race between Apple and its competitors is a classic example of the Tortoise and the Hare (Apple being the Tortoise). I think that Apple knows that it is impossible to create astoundingly new and innovative products each year. So instead of throwing everything that it has into every new product, Apple is playing it safe, while it is actually innovating behind the scenes. Meanwhile, the Hare (Samsung, mainly), is running the race as fast as possible, delivering every new technology it creates, wether it is ready or not. Eventually, this will come to an end. In terms of the update from the S3 to the S4, this was view as a largely incremental update to the flagship Galaxy line. I believe that the smartphone market has grown and innovated so rapidly, that it would be in both company's interests to stop trying to one-up the competition, but instead focus on how they will be able to innovate for years to come. This is something I believe Apple figured out a couple years ago, and something Samsung is figuring out now. It will be interesting to see the smartphone market two or three years from now.
Those who do not lock their phone are high stake gamblers! Given the amount of personal data that is stored on a typical smartphone and the increasing threat from identity fraud, not taking security seriously is simply insane.
The addition of an effective finger print scanner in the new iPhone is a welcome addition, especially for those who hate lock screen PINs, and will hopefully encourage those who currently fail to secure their device to do so.
The screen size may still be small by comparison to some other devices but will equally serve many, who prefer a more manageable size phone, very well. I have GN2 and although it is sometimes nice to have the big screen I often wish I had a smaller lump to carry around!
Many Android users in fact pick up the smaller versions of the their large screen counterparts, thus the Samsung mini range. So I doubt this will cause an increase flocking to Android.
Hmm, A no-longer-acceptable paltry 4 in. 326 ppi screen is left in the competitions' pixel dust.. I phone s boasting the same screen as their now cheaper variant 5C? Non accessible battery and with nearly the same still poor talk time? (Don't throw those pocketed chargers away ifans!) Still inaccessible batteries and non-expandable memories i.e, no SIM or micro SD card slot? A now paltry 8 megapixel camera and a still primitive IOS 7 widget architecture?! Cmon iphone, if this is your best response to 5 to 6 inch HD front and rear displays and against stratospheric S Pens etc.Android products, then Steve Jobs is spinning a hole through his casket this week. Sorry Steve, (Jeff),seems I too will have to go get me a new Note 3 for the next couple of years.. maybe you'll have caught up by then.
I recently jumped to a Google Edition S4. Everyone seems to thing this is a great phone, but in my experience not so much. I get terrible battery life. This must be something I'm doing wrong since it's really bad, much shorter than my old 4s running the same stuff. In general Android is great, but so is iOs, and the Apple software is more polished and simply quicker, or more responsive, without lags. Another shocker for me is the difficulty of controlling the phone through the headset. I'm sure there is some work around to get the iphone functionality (controlling music, answering the phone, etc.) but it's not smooth and simple out of the box. Finally there is the Samsung screen, which to my mind has terrible color balance. Lots of great things about the Samsung, but also some ragged edges.
So my question is; since you don't like the battery life, you don't like the lag, you don't particularly like the screen, and you say that iOS is equally as good of an OS, what do you like more about your S4 than your 4S? (By the way I just now noticed the similarity in phone names...) I'm not saying that you shouldn't like android, I just don't see why you made the switch.
Bitching is a user prerogative. A bigger screen? how do you differentiate what screen size makes a phone not a phone? The iPhone 5s has the same screen as last years model, it's a good size but adding another 0.5 inch would have made the 5s closer to its competition. I have a samsung S4 and and an iPhone and I find myself using the S4 when browsing or using apps for photos or video because it has a bigger screen. Any screen bigger than the S4 is too difficult to carry and in my opinion hence not a phone.
Not everyone likes the gigantic screens on android phones, personally I strongly dislike those large phones, I am sure that I am not alone. There are phones and tablets. Those 5 inch phones are far too big for a phone, and too small to be proper tablets. Also, why do one need those 1080p screens on phones. I have never looked at my 55inch samsung series 9 tv and went I need more pixels! All a 1080p screen would do would be draining battery life quicker. Personally, I would have like apple to put a 720p screen on the iphone just so that it would be a standard resolution rather than the weird one they have now.
Also the build quality of those android phones are just so poor, they just feel so plasticy and cheap, it certainly does not match its price tag (exceptions to the asus padfone infinity and the HTC one). I try to jumped to the android by buying a galaxy s3 to replace my iPhone 4. I expected the samsung to be lightening fast with its quad core processor, but it simply does't feel that. Battery does not match at all with the ads, I still need to charge it everyday after heavy use just like my old iphone.
I am happy with how the iPhone is progressing. Not sure why people has so much expectation with apple, they are being deigned by human beings, not miracle maker. Same goes with samsung. The eye control with their phones are fantastic applications of the technology, but it is not new technology. My 20+ year old canon eos 5 uses a cam to track my eye so that the camera would focus on the subject I looked at. That was back in 1992!
I do like the iphone5 and there is a good chance that it would be getting one, it would replace my iphone 4 which I still use today. In the end, if you feel that apple hasn't done enough, just wait a year and something new would come out!
Bigger is not always better while the s4's screen isn't too big yet it is getting there and I prefer the smaller 5s screen and really I don't notice much if any difference in screen quality between the two in real life and with the processor I don't care how many cores or ram space there is ios has always been snappier and smoother than android on any device I've tried.
i have large fingers and i have survived previously without large screens. i think apple keyboard is better than the rest but with apps like swiftkey which improves the typing experience on my s3 helps. I find it hard to read and type on browsers often because half the keyboard steals half the screen. If a girl mate with small hands and is tech stupid i would say go for the iphone but otherwise i think its stupid to spend so much when htc has caught up on build quality.
Boring old Apple . I use to love the apple phones but I opened my eyes and brought a.Note 2 and 12 months on Its been a true friend . I love the big screen expandable memory the long battery life have bought 2 more batteries and so cheap, plus not being tired to Apple itunes and so much more. Going to upgrade to the Note 3.
Apple shows little innovation considering the money they make . Open your eyes silly fan boys.
As a developer, I'm excited about the upgraded processor. This progress in combination with improved JavaScript rendering and better mobile web frameworks will eventually lead to the downfall of native apps so we can finally build and maintain one responsive mobile web app instead of 3 to 5 native apps. Another couple years of these improvements and we're there. And when that day comes, apps will be released at an astounding pace.
The problem for me, Barry, is that I'm so used to the way Apple's software works that while I changed over to Samsung Gallery S4 four months ago, I'm still not used to it. The extra software tricks were fun but I don't use them on a daily basis. If I ever change back, what I would miss is the amazing, huge, beautiful screen! I read all my kindle books on the S4 and almost never on the iPad. Samsung is a great company, especially for televisions.
For once a Comment thread that actually has some balanced and decent views from Apple and Android Fans. Refreshing to see this and not just a massive slagging match. Personally I'm an Apple fan but have had an Android phone and loved it. For me there is something special about using an Apple product. My wife on the other hand loves her Samsung GS3 and doesn't want an Apple phone. Isn't it nice to just have a choice?
I'm planning on getting the 5s because I've had my 4s for 2 years now. I'll admit I'm not terrible excited about the 5s. If they let me have the same hardware and software in the 4s size I would be thrilled. I'm not updating my ipad 4 to IOS7 either. I hate and despise the look. If I have a change of heart with the 5s maybe I will, but now the design looks like cheap Android and Microsoft - - a fisher price design. Jony Ive is an idiot.
I've moved to a Lumia 920 and the difference form the iphone to the Lumia is amazing. My old iphone 4 was incredible better. It simply worked,. The Lumia I can't even hold it...it has buttons everywhere and I'm always pressing one of the without wanting. It drives me completely crazy. After two months of use I really regret having spent money on ii. My old iphone 4 was miles away! Iphone is a phone!
I disagree. Screen size makes a difference in what you can see, both in true resolution and inclusiveness. A larger screen wins hands down. Big screens is NOT what Samsung specializes in, they also provide excellent and 'true' connectivity...ie true USB without the proprietary bs that Apple insists upon. You can connect whatever you like to a Samsung - try that with Apple (especially as they say "No" you cannot).
Obsolescence is a true issue with Apple. Without the 'innovation' others are claiming for them, obsolescence is a real problem. Devices should last years, not discarded after such a short cycle with a stagnant OS design.
And the absurd fanboy drivel about 'plastic' being 'cheap' and inferior is so typical of creating arguments out of nothing. The iPhone 5C is plastic (call it polycarbonate or whatever you like) but the argument that Apple makes for it APPLIES to their competitors' products - always have. Double standards and emotional bias typically rule the commentaries, not objective observation.
I've used iOS devices and currently use the Note 2. I use it for the 'features' it offers - rarely as a 'phone.' Seriously, stop comparing it to a phone and arguing it's 'too big.' Like the Dell Streak 7 this 'Phablet' (whatever) HAS a phone feature - but the real purpose of this device is its multitasking ability and horsepower. Connect the Note 2 (now 3) to an HD monitor, (Apple) bluetooth mouse and keyboard (lol) and run it like a PC. You can! You can even run multiple videos, email, SMS, Skype, and background music ALL AT THE SAME TIME. That is horsepower.
The iPhone 5s boasts an A7 64-bit processor and claims it is twice as fast and allows security and video enhancement. SMH. Because of Apple's locked environment and inaccessible API's you don't see the 'lack of horsepower' under it's shell, despite newer processors. You'll never get an iPhone to run like a computer until Apple gets off it's high horse and considers real innovation and user-freedoms as paramount to designing feature rich and powerful devices worthy of business environments (now somewhat limited)
Clicking photos, playing music, navigating maps and uploading personal data is a typical 'smartphone'. Being able to run multiple applications with freedom to connect to whatever you like AND see it in a respectable window frame (to name a few) is user empowerment - a true 'smart' device.
I don't disagree with a lot of this, but you can't seriously say any other phone company is more innovated then Apple. A bigger screen is not innovated any in shape or form. A camera with more mp is not innovation now days, maybe 10 years ago.
So many ppl expect the world out of every iphone, but they can't do everything at once, or what are they gonna do next year?
I think the iphone 5c is crap and would never buy it. And Apple is very strick when it comes to what they allow you to do. How ever I jail break as soon as possible, so that doesn't affect me very much.
True Apple fans understand how Apple works and deals with it because of the quality of phones they put out. Apple has done the same phones practice for 5 years, not sure why ppl are still expecting different. I promise a bigger screen will come next year, I think it will be 4.7 at the biggest, I couldn't imagine anything bigger:
I initially thought that about IOS7,I thought im not updating my ipad no way! but i had a go with my iphone 4s-Three days later ive now updated my ipad! Its actually brilliant with so many new features! Actually feels like ive got a new phone.
Not turning my head in any way. It's just another under-delivering Apple product with just enough features missing so when they make the iPhone 6 they can sell you some more stuff than android and samsung already have...
I don't want big screens on a mobile. 4 inches is plenty big enough. if I want to watch a film on a trainn than every phone will be a compromise anyway, so don't see why you would want to sacrifice portability for trying to get a phone to deliver a cinema experience for something for which it is not inherently designed, when a tablet will be do the job better and doesn't require always being instantly accessible like a phone.

Which ant tasks are you using to deploy to weblogic? -----Original Message----- From: Mark Lybarger [mailto:email@example.com] Sent: Wednesday, 20 October 2004 13:23 To: Ant Users List Subject: RE: Any recommended methods for build and deployment in weblogic and jboss servers? we use ant for building and deploying to weblogic. we have a fragmented process. one build process to build an archive for deployment which is sent (via ftp) to a holding area. there's quite a few steps in there, but basically, it's pull from cvs, compile the code, build the ear and web app, and package it up into an archive file (we're using .tar unfortunately atm). deploying then happens also via ant tasks. tech services has a shell script that basically just calls our deploy script to deploy when it's convenient for them. our deploy script does several things to get deployed to wls. it first undeploys the existing apps from the running server (to clean out cached WEB-INF/lib jar files). then it shuts down the servers using ant java tasks. next, it copies in our versioned config.xml using ant filters to set it up for the needed environment. finally, it starts the servers again using ant java tasks, and then deploys the components to the various servers. backing out right now is as simple as running the deploy process on the previous version. all wls config changes are accounted for, and any library changes are cleaned up and ready to go. now, if we could only find time to include a method to inteligently handle database changes as well. > -----Original Message----- > From: email@example.com [mailto:email@example.com] > Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 2004 2:36 PM > To: Ant Users List > Subject: Any recommended methods for build and deployment in weblogic > and jboss servers? > > > Hi all, > > I know that this is a rather open question. > > Are there any recommended ways of building and deploying application > to weblogic and jboss servers? > > For example, in build, using Ant in only the build server, then create > packages (what type of format for weblogic and jboss?) then deliver > (rsync? > ftp?) and deploy (stop and start the server, what is the best way? run > some ant scripts? or?) > > > Thanks > > B. > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional > commands, e-mail: email@example.com > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com

No Trip to Davos for Governor Paterson
New York, NY —
After an outburst of criticism, New York's governor has backed off of his plans to attend a business forum at a Swiss ski resort. Governor Paterson said yesterday he was going to the World Economic Forum in Davos, to bring attention to the problems governments are facing. But both Republicans and Democrats criticized the governor's trip, saying he needed to stay home to deal with the state's economic crisis. Today, Paterson told reporters he reconsidered, and will be sending aides to Davos instead, so he can address the state's $15 billion budget deficit.

I'm using Drupal multi-site to give each of my students their own Drupal site.
Is there a drupal theme that allows students to override the CSS to customize the theme without them having access to the file system.
Tapestry has a 'local content css' option, but it assumes the css file is in the theme folder. I tried to hack it where they could upload their own css file (using IMCE) and point to that, but it isn't working.
Chamfer lets you customize the colors somewhat, but not much else (like adding a background image and so forth).
I have zen and the zenophile and theme_editor modules, but it seems a bit risky (requires opening up editing of files on the drive) and not so reliable or safe (they could edit the main themes, too, I guess).
Drupalgardens lets users customize the themes much more, but they haven't shared their code.
Have you tried CSS injector?

U shouldA Been there!
October 7, 2009
Blazer fans,
I certainly hope you WERE there last weekend. If you weren't, drop and give me 20. The set-up was absolutely perfect...big Thursday night home game...C-USA rival...never beaten them...leading up to the Hall of Fame induction ceremony...no one thought the Green and Gold had a shot. And then they played the game.
The win over Southern Miss was so incredibly satisfying, it's hard for me to put it into words. It was so long overdue. Years of frustration came to an end, as did weeks of frustration here in 2009. I know the coaches and players were excited, relieved...any number of adjectives. The fans, and announcers, were down right giddy following the 30-17 win at Legion Field.
There were so many big plays in all three phases of the game, but I think the most impressive thing about the night wasn't the pick six by Hiram Atwater...or the fumble recovery by Drew Luker...or the touchdown pass to Jeffery Anderson...or running up over 200 yards on the ground against a defense that averaged giving up less than 70 per game...it was the fight shown by the Green and Gold. There weren't many people who felt like UAB could hang with the Golden Eagles, offensively or defensively, but the Blazers outplayed, and outfought USM in every single area. For that, they should all be very proud, and we should all be very appreciative.
It was a perfect opening act to the Friday night festivities...the inaugural class being inducted into the brand new UAB Athletics Hall of Fame. The banquet was held on Friday evening, and you better believe there were smiles all around The Club. Coach Callaway was quite the celebrity at the banquet, as everyone seemed to make a point of going up to the coach and congratulating/thanking him for the win on Thursday night. Dr. S. Richardson Hill, Dr. Jerry D. Young, Wanda Hightower Jordan, Oliver Robinson and Gene Bartow were the five deserving honorees. Their accomplishments are far too lengthy to list here, but I highly recommend doing a little research. See why we are where we are today as an athletic department...it's due to people like them.
Now it's time for a little rest, relaxation, recuperation...R&R&R. The players will enjoy some time off, which they will no doubt appreciate. They should have a little time to heal some of the bumps and bruises accumulated through the first five games. The coaches will have the chance to do some TV scouting of Ole Miss this Saturday, as the the Rebels play host to Alabama. Regardless of the outcome of that game, you know it will be a slug fest...good! For others, like me, it's time to recharge the batteries just a little. I'm fortunate to be heading to California for the weekend to visit some family. Any chance "in-season" to see the niece and nephew is a treat, and i can't wait.
There's still plenty going on around campus, though, and I hope you'll get out and show your support for the Green and Gold. Volleyball has two matches this weekend (Friday vs. Marshall at 7 PM and Sunday vs. ECU at 1 PM) at Bartow Arena, and the top-25 men's soccer team will finally get to play at home again. Mike Getman's squad is on a tear (5-0-1 in the last six games), and the Blazers will welcome Florida International to West Campus Field on Saturday at 7 PM.
Time to go pack for the west coast. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Get some rest...cheer on volleyball and soccer...come see us at Baumhower's Wings at Patton Creek next Wednesday for the call-in show...and GO BLAZERS!!! DC

Replacing windows in a Bedford Stone home
I've been searching the internet for information on replacing windows in stone homes. We are preparing to do this and I cant bring myself to pay someone else to do it. I figured that replacing windows in a stone home would be much different than replacing them in a typical wood framed home. Our home is not wood framed. It is all block (all walls, interior included, are cinder block).
Anyone ever replaced windows in a home like this? What are some of the potential pitfalls that I may encounter?
Have you considered using interior storm windows?
They are often used on historic buildings. They provide a high level of thermal value, and require no extensive exterior or interior alterations/remodeling work.
Discussion here: http://www.housingzone.com/proremode...CA6610780.html
More info:
Interesting! thanks for pointing this option out.
I would still be interested in hearing from someone that has replaced windows in a home like this before.
Your home is all block with a stone facade? if so your windows are set up for block frame constuction (I.E. no nailer fin like wood construction).
Do you have drywall inside? or just block?
If it's block then just measure the width and hight go to a trusted window company to order your windows for block frame, chances are your windows are not a standard size like the products at home depot or lowes.
Assuming the worst and you have drywall inside, you will need to remove the portion around the windows and pull them out from the inside.
Most windows for block homes are held in by small clips and caulked in place.
Another question do you have metal framed casements or aluminum windows or wood?
Metal framed you do not have to remove the sashes.
start buy cutting through the window frame and colapes the the frame out of the wall, you may have to pry a bit to get it out depending on your type of window.
after the old is out and you already have replacement handy time to install.
I personally don't use the clips I predrill the side jambs (2- 1/4" holes3-4" up and down) set my window into place (leved) and mark the hole location, pull window back out, drill block and install plasic or lead anchors.
reset the window and start 1 screw fixed side of window then the oppiset side( do not tighten them down all the way because you'll want to center the window in the opening.
tighten screws making shure that every thing stays square and plumb.
caulk around both sides( you may want to insulate the perimeter of the window depending on the gap you may or may not have, caution useing expanding foam, it tends to distort the frame if you use to much).
Now replace the drywall if needed.
Good luck, once you get started you'll see how really easy it is:thumbup:
I sense sarcasm in your last line there :).
The interior walls are plaster. I kid you not, the place is built like a bunker. Our gas/heating bills were rediculous last winter(couple over $500 for a 1450 sq ft ranch with full basement). We had considered having someone come in and spray insulation into the walls for us. Thats when we figured out that our walls were block. We are trying to find ways of conserving heat within the house. New windows are our first priority as they are old aluminum windows. The seals around the outside of the windows are coming out. It is easy to see why our bills have been so high.
I am a handy man to an extent but this is something that I dont want to screw up. You think I would be better off paying my bro inlaw (very skilled carpenter) between $500-$1000 to install all of the windows?
window reply from mark
If your a pretty good handyman then my guess is that once you get started you really will find that it's easyer than you thought, the hardest part I gareentee you is going to be the plaster work to finish the windows off.
As for the brother inlaw just ask for his help two are better than one when it comes to setting the windows, depending on there size and location.
I know it's to cold out now (maybe) to set windows but it will go fast!
I've set seven just like you discribe in about six hours.
Just make shure you get good measurement for the windows that out of everything is most importaint.
The aluminum windows will come out rather easy once you can get a pry bar behinde them.
I know the worry your going through, I found out along time ago, use your common sense (you seem to have plenty or you would not worry),anything that can go wrong you can fix( no problems ), and as mike jordan says( me to, just do it).
As far as the block wall and insulation there are company's that will drill a small hole in the outsde of the block and squirt in foam insulation into the voided areas.
Oh the brother inlaw thing again try to get him to do it for beer it's cheaper( I'm really cheap and wont pay if I can do it myself)
I know it will go well for you, any doubts reply and I will help you out
MARK M.:thumbup:
Thanks Mark. I really appreciate your help.

I Am From
About were im from. We had to do this in class one day.
I am from the books, big and small,
From the paper and pen.
I am from the stories of old and the ones that haven't happened yet,
I am from the written parchment and the quill feather,
Penning my mind on page.
I am from the piles of paperbacks and hardcovers,
From the dusty old and freshly new.
I am from the white walls with the cool stencil design,
From the slanted roof protecting my treasure trove of books and stories.
I am from the city streets,
From country roads.
I am from the green grass,
From grey sidewalk.
I am from the rolling hills,
From tall buildings,
For each I call my home.
I am from the cat and dog,
From the paws and claws.
I am from the King and Queen,
From the rulers of our palace home.
I am from the non-religion,
From the belief anyway.
I am from the family gatherings for the holidays.,
From the small get together birthdays.
I am from mom's pumpkin pie and grandpa's salt potatoes.
From my step-dad's loving care and my army of siblings always there.
I am from loud and proud,
From yelling and shouting.
I am from family both big and small,
One adoptive, one biological
I am from Cortland, New York,
From Cincinnatus, New York.
I am from all over the world,
From blood long forgotten.
I am from the nieces and nephews,
From the brothers and sisters,
I am from the aunts and uncles,
From the cousins and grandparents.
I am from the step-family and the original,
From the I don't care because they love me.
I am from the big wide web,
From a network of family that loves and supports me.
I am from the heart and soul,
From the broken dreams and new ones.
I am from the handmade quilt,
That will warm me all my life.

This is getting really too frequent in my hometown of Huntington, WV. Within the last two or three weeks we have had Little Caesar's near my home robbed plus a 7-11 and a Speedway Super America as well. Friday we ordered from the Pizza Hut nearby and I took the Ruger .380 with me when I went to pick up our order. These places are seemingly a good target for robbery. Now a local Gino's has been robbed. The musical group I play with goes to a Geno's on Tuesday nights for our jam session. Me and one of the guitarists are usually packing. It's to the point that I never know when I might be at one of these places when it gets hit.Pizza shop robbed in Huntington Saturday

I am going to miss Michael Jackson. He was my fave since I was 4. My first memory was the Pepsi commercial he did in 1984. I have loved his music ever since. MY 5 year old daughter cried because she wanted to dance with him. It is a great loss for the music world.

The Art of the Sentence: Thomas Hardy
"But nobody did come, because nobody does; and under the crushing recognition of his gigantic error Jude continued to wish himself out of the world."
Thomas Hardy, Jude the Obscure
Victorian novelists almost always kept the hem of a coattail or tip of a walking-stick visible in the shadowy wings of their narratives. Often they strode fully onstage. Here Hardy darts past with a ballsy but sly rhetorical flourish: "because nobody does." Reading today, the move strikes me as ultra modern, which may just mean it's so old-fashioned, so basic, that it now seems wildly original. In our contemporary works of realism we generally forbid this kind of thing. It will, on a good editor's first pass of a manuscript, make for easy prey (e.g. "Who's talking here?"). I, for one, thrill to the sentence's ambition, its wish to ensphere (Hardy's word) the character of Jude Fawley early on, to make him large and representative, to give him the dimension of his place within the doomed race of man, to backlight him and stretch his shadow forward across the great works of literature to come. It doesn't really matter that it's the author interjecting. This is not about Thomas Hardy. What matters is the heart-stopping effect that Hardy so beautifully—and, to our eyes, riskily—achieves.
M. Allen Cunningham is the author The Green Age of Asher Witherow and Lost Son, which is based on the life and work of Rilke. His essay on Paul Zweig's Departures can be found in the current issue of Tin House.

There's nothing specific that a good sentence should be; it just is. And that sentence is-es considerably.

He may have thought it a throwaway remark, but United States President Barack Obama's decision to call California's top law enforcement officer "the best-looking attorney-general in the country" has instead proved to be the political equivalent of a boomerang.
His comments about Kamala Harris last week refuse to go away - at the weekend he was forced to apologise after allegations of sexism and then supporters claimed the furore was overblown.
Obama made the comment at a Democratic fundraising lunch in Atherton, California, where he described Harris as brilliant, dedicated and tough before drawing attention to her appearance.
White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters that the following day Obama had phoned Harris, who campaigned on his behalf in 2008 and 2012, "to apologise for the distraction created by his comments". The President "did not want in any way to diminish the attorney-general's professional accomplishments and her capabilities", he said.
Much of the subsequent criticism came from Obama's side of the aisle.
Joan Walsh, a liberal columnist for Salon, said her "stomach turned" at the comments. "I assume he thought he was just paying someone he admires a compliment," Walsh wrote. "But most women in public life have a complex relationship with their appearance, whether they're as attractive as Harris or not."
By contrast, Fox News found itself in the rare position of defending the President. Gretchen Carlson, host of Fox and Friends, dismissed the furore: "I wish that we wouldn't be so completely PC on this issue because it's true, she's attractive, so what?"
Speaking on NBC's Meet the Press yesterday, Bill Richardson, a Democrat and former Governor of New Mexico, said: "Maybe I'm a Neanderthal, but I thought the President's comment was harmless. Political correctness has reached a point where it's out of control."
During his 2008 presidential campaign, Obama apologised after addressing a female reporter as "sweetie".
Yet he also has a history of congratulating male officials on their appearance. In a 2012 speech, he described Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar as "a good-looking guy".
Harris accepted the President's apology. Her spokesman, Gil Duran, said: "The Attorney General and the President have been friends for many years. They had a great conversation yesterday and she strongly supports him."

This is one of EDM's new eyeshadows, and I must say, it is VERY pretty, but the one negative thing about it is that it does not blend well at all! I have never had this issue with any other colors. A primer will help, but you still have to put a lot of effort into blending, and if you dont have a primer, it wont turn out right, even if you spend 5 min with it.
