- #56782There are several differences between computer hardware and software. However, the fundamental difference between hardware and software is that hardware is a physical device something that you're able to touch and see. For example, the computer monitor you're viewing this text on or the mouse you're using to navigate is considered computer hardware.
Software is code and instructions that tell a computer and/or hardware how to operate. This code can be viewed and executed using a computer or other hardware device. However, without any hardware software would not exist. An examples of software is Microsoft Windows, an operating system that allows you to control your computer and other programs that run on it.
Hardware is the actual components that your computer is made of: ram, rom, motherboard, modem, wireless chip etc.
Software is any program that you load onto a computer: the operating system (Windows, Linux) games or applications.
Hardware = your actual computer, for example : Your RAM/CPU/Hard Disk/GPU/Motherboard/PSU
Software = what you run on your computer, for example: Windows/Computergames/wordprocessing aplications/Internet Explorer or Firefox
- #56889Hello Pryia,
A Hardware is a physical components of a computer system.
The hardware are parts or components used to make a computer. The basic hardware parts of a computer are :
1. Input Device : A input device is used to input the data to the computer, by the user.
The various input device are
a) keyboard.
c)Scanning Device.
2. Output Device: The final result of the process is called as an output device. The below are some of output device.
b) Monitors
3.Central Processing Unit(CPU):Every computer has CPU that performs the user instruction. There are three section in CPU.
a) Primary storage device
b) Arithmetic Logic Unit.
c) Control Unit.
4. Secondary Storage Device: As computers have a limited storage capacity ,so most computers have secondary device.some of the device are
a) Hard Disk
b) Floppy Disk
c) CD ROM
d) Pen Drive
e) Tape Drive
A Software is an set of instructions that when executed by the user provides desired function and performance. A software is a collection of computer programs that describes the process of the operation and use of program.
A software is mainly divided into two types 1. System software
2. Application software
A System Software is a set of programs that is used to control the operation and increase the processing capacity of a computer system. This software helps to run the computer system and hardware more effectively and efficiently, as well as to maintain a platform for running an Application Software. The programmers who prepare system software is called as System Programmers.
There are various types of system software.
1. Operating system
The main duty of operating system software is to maintain efficient and efficient utilization of the computer system. The operating system are Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux.
2. Utility Programs
utility programs include formatting of hard disk, making backup of files. It is used for maintainig and performing tasks of routine nature.
3. Communication Software:
This software enables exchange and transfer of data and programs between network area.
Application Software is a set of programs used to accomplish one or more specifice task. There are many application software available for a wide range of applications.
The various types of application software are.
1. Entertainment Software: It helps a user to use a computer system as an entertainment tool. Such as playing games, watching movies etc.
2. Education Software:

- #56908We come across two terms quite frequently in relation to computers. These are Hardware and Software. Let us define these terms.
Hardware refers to the physical components of a computer. The devices that physically ensure intake of data, storing them, processing them and displaying them are called Hardware.
Software consists of sequence of instructions, in the form of a program to perform a particular task on a computer. The two terms may be understood by drawing an analogy with television sets. A television produced by Philips or Sony or any other manufacturer is capable of displaying television programs. Yet, unless there is a telecast of some program, these devices are of no use. The television set will be termed as hardware where as the program that get displayed in the set is called the Software
- #56923Hello,
The basic difference between software and hardware is hardware is physical device that you can touch for example Computer Monitor, Printer, Keyboard , mouse etc and on other hand Software is a set of instruction given to hardware of computer for how to operate. The set of instruction is called Code, which is understandable by computer. For example Windows that you see on your computer when you switch on your computer is Software, Internet Browser through which you do internet is also a Software.
Software and hardware are related to each other and without each others help they won't work. Hardware itself cannot work on its own until and unless it gets instructions from the software.
Lets give you an example if you buy operating System that means you are purchasing software but that software come into hardware "disk".

- #57126There is a hell and heaven difference between the software and the hardware.
Hardware is any physical component that you buy from the market. Your computer consists of a set of integrated or assembled parts that form the hardware of your computer. The word 'hard' really signifies the tangibility of such parts.
You can see as well as touch these parts.
Yes, there are also provisions for the repairing of such hardwares which may not be the case with softwares.
The 'malwares' such as virus etc. affects only the software and not the hardware.
External agents like dust particles etc. affects only your hardware and not the software.
Types of hardware devices
i)Input devices: These are the devices using which you feed the data into your computer. Keyboard, mouse, scanners etc. are all examples of input devices as they help you to give commands to the computer to perform a specific action.
ii)Output devices: These are the devices that help you to obtain the output from the computer in the form of certain operations or information. When you feed the data into the computer, the computer processes it and gives you the result using an output device. Monitor, printers etc. are all output devices.
Softwares are the programs that help to increase the efficiency of your system by helping it to get utilized properly.
Just as a car cannot be run without petrol, a computer cannot be run without softwares.
They are the programs that are not affected by the dust particles but have greater threats that endanger them such as viruses and other 'malware' softwares.
You cannot see or touch them but can recognize them through your hardware. Every single task that the computer performs need a different software.
Types of software
i)Application software: Games, movies etc. that allow you to perform only a certain task are called application softwares.
ii)System software: Such softwares perform a multiple of functions and run your whole system. Operating systems such as Windows 98, 2000, XP and others are system softwares.

Physical piece[component] of a computer.
Example: Monitor,CPU,Keyboard,Mouse.
The software is necessary to run the computer.Software is a set of instructions that directs the computer to process information.These instructions are called programs.
Types of software's:
1.Application software:
It is a set of program designed for specific uses or applications such as word processing, graphics, or spreadsheet analysis.
It can be custom written but is usually purchased ready made.
Application program can be divided into 2 parts
1.1) Editor:
1.1.1) Special text Editor:
This editor is used to design or write a program in interactive mode.In this user just type the requirement and the program code is generated.
1.1.2) Text Editor:
This type of editor is used to type only text matter.the text may be stored for future reference. The text may be modified.

Word processor,Electronic Spreadsheets,Database System,Accounting Packages,DTP packages,Graphics Packages,Presentation Packages.
2)Utility Programs
They are requested by many application programs.A few examples are
2.1)Text Editor:
This editor is used for creation and correction of texts.It is used to type only text matter.
2.1)Debugging tool
This is a program that helps to locate and correct the errors that may occur in a program due to the incorrect use of the syntax of the language.
2.2)File compression
To compress the selected files.
2.3)Disk fragmentation:
To rearrange files and unused space on your hard disk.
System Software:
It coordinates the operation of the various hardware components of the computer.
It can be classified into two types:
Operating Systems
It is an organised collection or integrated set of specialized programs that controls the overall operations of a computer.
It helps the computer to supervise and manage its resources.
2.Language Translator:
It is used to convert the program written in assembly language into machine language.
It translates a source program that is usually written in a high level language by a programmer into machine language.
It translates each source program statement into a sequence of machine instructions and then executes these machine instructions before translating the next source language statement.
- #59077Hardware is a physical device something
that you're able to touch and see.
For example, the computer monitor you're viewing this text on or
the mouse you're using to navigate is considered computer hardware.
Software is code and instructions its for difference between hardware and software.
- #59084The following are the main difference of the Hardware and Software
1) Software means written program by software engineers. It may contain one or more program and the program contains several commands. There are several operating software for example Windows XP, Vesta and Tally etc.,
2)Hardware means different parts of the system or computer. The system are manufactured by many company's Hardware Engineer for example HCL, HP, Del etc.,
- #59159Hardware is what you can touch and view
software is where you work and only view
- #59253Hardware is the parts and peripherals connected in computer it includes chips,Ram,Motherboard.... We can able to touch Hardware but software is set of instruction that provide instructions to hardware for do specific work.
There are different types of software like application software,system software and operating software like vista,XP...
- #61795Simple answer:
Hardware: All hard things are called Hardware. We can see, touch and move it.
Software: Which activates the Hardware is called Software. We can't see, touch it but only feel the presence of it, just like our life. Without software no Hardware device will work.
- #61805In simple computer terms software gives and takes instructions from Hardware.
e.g if you type "A" character on keyboard(hardware)then OS(software) gets instruction that "A" is pressed and then OS gives instruction to monitor(hardware) to display the given character.
- #61854Hardware can be touched but we can't touch software


text: New Hampshire Mapping The Arsenic Seeping Into Our Diet By Virginia Prescott • Oct 2, 2013 While many Americans struggle to trim sugar and fat from their diets, a far more dangerous ingredient may be seeping in…from the ground. Arsenic is an odorless, tasteless poison that exists in the earth's crust. Last winter, the U.S. Geological Survey found that low levels of arsenic were present in forty percent of New Hampshire's groundwater, for example, with one in five wells measuring above ten parts-per-billion. Independent researchers have also identified excessive levels of arsenic in water-intensive crops, including rice grown in the U.S. and abroad. Deborah Blum is a Pulitzer Prize-winning science journalist, columnist and blogger for Wired and The New York Times. She was given access to a U.S.G.S. map showing arsenic concentration across the U.S. ahead of its release to the public, and is joining us to share some of the findings.

Why does woman stay with men that treat them like crap
Posted in the Keavy Forum
#1 Jun 30, 2012
I see so many woman that are so pretty that have a man they have been with for years and he treats her like dirt why would u stay with someone like that and most of them can do better and as a man why would a man treat a woman like that when she's there for him
United States
#2 Jun 30, 2012
I am one of those women sadly. I honestly have no idea why we do it. Stupidity? Infatuation? Love? Hope of them changing? Actually thinking they WILL change? The chase of having someone not be obsessed with you as much as you are them? We honestly don't understand it ourselves. So it's no wonder nice guys don't understand either. Maybe they beat our selfesteem so low that we are afraid we will be alone. Maybe it's just really good sex. I'm sure it's a different story for all of us.
#3 Jun 30, 2012
We know something is wrong with us if a loser can't love us so we stay. All the shit I get called all the times he gets in my face I deserve it and if I was to leave someone else is going to see all my faults and do the same thing. Sometimes even though you see it one way maybe she is broken and that's what she deserves. Not everyone is suppose to have the fairy tale.

#4 Jul 1, 2012
I did because he held my job over my head. Looking back I wish I'd have left years ago, when I try to tell people how he is he makes them think I'm insane or some other stupid reason. He emotionally and verbally abuses but laughs when confronted about it.
#5 Jul 3, 2012
Every woman deserves to be treated like the angels they are. I met my wife ten years ago and she saved my life. So I thank god everyday for her.
#6 Jul 3, 2012
I am unfortunately one of those girls, pretty, attractive make good money great career. Honestly dunno why.. I know it's wrong but can't get him off the mind. Maybe hope, dreams that he will love you as much as you do. That with love everything is going to be ok. It's sad that knowing all of this still have to go through this crap. I am quite stubborn and I know there will be a time when I'll walk away.. But it will be late for him. Just love that ass

I was one of those ladies that had a man treating me like crap. For years I let him abuse me more ways than one. And all the time I felt like I deserved it. My self esteem was rock bottom. I finally found some strength in me to walk out. But that was a hard battle, even had to get an EPO on him. But even away from him I feel like he has a control over me. I still am fighting my self esteem issue and I dont trust anyone either. Dont get me wrong, I want to be normal and have a wonderful relationship . I want to know what its like to really be happy and and enjoy life again. My friends tell me that I am a beautiful person, inside and out. that Im easy to talk too and get along with. Alot of laughs .... but I have a hard time seeing alot of that. I just feel like I am damage goods from an abusive relationship...

I know what you mean and I wish I had something magic to tell you that would make everything okay but the truth is I don't have a clue either. I too let a man tell me year after year that I was stupid, not worth anything....I even went as far to stand there while he shot a 22 pistol around my feet over and over, reloading and reloading until there were 52 holes in the floor. And still I stayed. He was a drinker and every morning he was oh so sorry but the nights were pure hell. I finally decided enough was enough and moved to the other side of the state to flee him. Even after the move if he called me and said come to the house...I was there like I had to obey him. Finally the divorce went through (after I cancelled and started it several times) yet the calls continued but I didn't run back to him. I finally got strong enough to block his phone number and safely say I am glad I did. Now I am in the process of finding me! It's gonna be a long road....good luck to you!
#18 Jul 7, 2012
The men never treat me like crap...at first....the abuse comes out later on after I've already fallen in love with him. Then it's much harder to break away.

Sounds like you know exactly what I went thru. I had to move out of town and those phone calls never ended.... There were days that I couldnt turn my ringer on because it was him calling nonstop. But when he came to my house and threatin to kill me and I had someone there to witness it I was finally able to get an EPO. That finally gave me alittle peace. I still felt like I had to watch over my shoulder. Trusting people is really hard to do because of that man. When I think I can let my guard down something pops up and I get in defense mode. I cant help it. I have been working on myself and getting help but all I know is it takes time. I just wish I could find a man that would think I was worth being around and not to be abuse.......... Good luck in your life as well.

... Oh Jesus. I feel like you are me! I have cried over & over after reading this, because I , myself stayed till it got so bad that my Ex was shooting a pistol around me quite often, most likely trying to keep me terrified to leave him. It worked! I was frightened! I did not say anything for a long time. Then, it got to the point where I just left him sleeping one night (he was DRUNK!) and I called a cab, and ran away! He (my Ex) was furious!!! He told me he was coming back to get me and I better not cause him an ounce of trouble...that his gun WAS loaded. So, terrified, I went. HE KEPT PROMISING IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN, no more beatings! I tried to believe him. Especially when he would hold onto me so tight and cry on me. Worst of all, I think, was I had already FALLEN IN LOVE with him, before he ever hurt me. He told me I BELONGED TO HIM! I swear I thought I could change his VIOLENT BEHAVIOR patterns if I just tried a little harder. We are seperated now, for good. I had to get an EPO! I cried when I got it. I FEEL LIKE HE IS STILL WATCHING ME, AND WOULD KILL ME IF HE HAD THE CHANCE. I KNOW HE IS A DRUNK, AND TAKES PILLS & GETS "CRAZY" WHEN IT COMES TO ME! I don't know if I will ever feel truly SAFE again. In my mind, he still has "COMPLETE CONTROL" over me!! That is a scary feeling. I Love the GOOD part of him. But, I am too scared of the VIOLENT SIDE. I would like for this to be a bit of advice to you women who are too afraid to just Leave: Please go! Before you end up Dead from him. It only gets Worse! They'll never change. Once he starts hitting & beating & controlling you... either you better leave, or stay & suffer the consequences. Could be your final resting place- The Graveyard!!!

W. C. Lady thanks for your post. I did feel like you where explaining my past life. You are so true. Ladies get out now while you still can! One day he may just go too far!
I finally left him and he even told me he was going to kill me (and my daughter, her husband and my grand daughter because they took me in) I moved the whole family in the middle of the night across the state. We all up rooted leaving jobs and friends behind. He married right away but continued to terrorize me by phone. One night he even went into a rage, torn up and shot up his house with his new wife right there because I blocked him from being able to send me e-mails. I had changed my cell number and he ran around town crying he was going to kill his self until someone finally gave him my new number and the terror started all over again. I am glad to say it has been almost a year since I have left him and I haven't heard a peep out of him since May. I hope it stays that way. Don't get me wrong, I still love and often think about the good side of him but I had to get away from the bad side!

Hi there,
I'm working on getting a WordPress E-Commerce Theme up on ThemeForest. But just received a rejection with the comment: "Your template does not provide a unique enough design with the necessary design quality, features and options to compete in the marketplace at this time… While I'd be able to provide feedback as to how to get this approved, I can only do after it has crossed a certain threshold, quality wise. I'm sorry to say this isn't there yet."
Any suggestions on what to improve to cross the quality threshold?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Skate Banana Lib Tech
Scored a 2012 Lib Skate Banana today thanks to whiskeymilitia for $249.99...stoked.
What bindings should I pair with it? I kinda ride all over, but plan to mess around in the park more this year.
Bring the snow to the East Coast in 2013 please.
With a banana ride all over is a relative term, its a park rat board. I would put Formulas on it but that's just my opinion.
the skatebanana is a fun board all over the whole mountain and i've rode lots of big lines with it. its quick turning and good edge hold make it great for steep narrow stuff. Where i ride doesnt really have a park worth riding and my banana gets lots of use.
is it ideal for highspeed carving through bumpy snow, not really.
You can ride any snowboard on any terrain. The Skate Naner should be fun, especially in the park and pow.
I'd pair it with a pair of Union bindings, Contact Pros, Forces, Atlas. I've been riding Union for several years and they are really durable and comfortable.
Mainly a jib and pow board. Find bindings that are relative to that.

The Skate Banana is great for most intermediate riders, and the majority of East Coast terrain from what I've seen lol. Try some Flux DS30's
If you wanna be really different try some new switchback bindings. Just for a different look, plus you can customize the colors yourself.

I switched boards with a buddy who snapped his @ the binding of the nose.
We were way far out of bounds. That was about the only option other than walking in waist deep powder.
He rides regular, I ride goofy.
I just turned it around so the the break was @ the back.
Definitely not easy, but now I believe I could ride a 2x6 if I had to.
My 2x12 door header seems to ride alright.
Maybe I'll throw some binders on it for shits & giggles.
That's a powder nose if I ever seen one.:thumbsup:
I guess you could call that a tapered tail too?:laugh:

I am a bit disappointed…:
This is the first time I am using GPS, but results seem to be pretty bad. The SUP 500F is configured for 10Hz GPGGA output @38200 baud. Hor. dilution of precision was around 1.2, around 7 satellites were tracked (free view to the sky, good weather etc.). And this is the position (I stayed 1 min on the same spot):
Here, I was driving with my car (NOT through trees and houses, I promise…):
Is this all I can expect from GPS? I want to use it for position-hold for my tricopter design (http://shrediquette.blogspot.com), but it won't work the way it is now…
No public wish lists :(

Washed in the Blood? A Search for Relevant Symbols of Salvation
by Peyton L. Palmore III
Peyton Lee Palmore III was a fourth generational missionary to the United Church of Christ in Japan for over twenty years. He has done graduate work at Yale Divinity School,, Union Theological Seminary, and McCormick School of Theology in Chicago. He presently enjoys being self employed as a home repairman and lives with his wife in Arlington, Va. This article appeared in The Christian Century, April 23-30, 1997, pp. 408-412. Copyright by The Christian Century Foundation; used by permission. Current articles and subscription information can be found at www.christiancentury.org. This article prepared for Religion Online by Ted & Winnie Brock.
Have you ever found yourself in difficulty when you tried to explain to someone why being "washed in the blood of the Lamb" (Rev. 7:14 ) should make one "whiter than snow" as that old gospel hymn puts it? A Japanese church member once complained to me that not only was the concept confusing, but that all this talk about blood was repugnant to the Japanese mind. Even for one who has been brought up "in the faith" a bit of reflection makes one admit that the shades of difference between propitiation and expiation or between redemption and ransom are rather vague in one's mind. In fact, most of these symbols of salvation, growing out of a different time in history seem rather distant or even irrelevant to us today.
This has bothered me through the years because when we try to communicate the experience of salvation we can only use analogies, symbols and poetic images. Unfortunately, most of the traditional ones come from another era, another culture, a time a place and a context which seem only distantly related to us in these modern days whether we have been brought up in the West or the East. How can we find more relevant ways to communicate the Gospel?
Perhaps the best way to start is to look at the symbols of salvation used in the Bible. I have noted many of them and tried to categorize them under various themes and patterns in the following chart. You will note the Dramatic Stories are like little vignettes with fairly clear plots. The Metaphorical Statements are shorter word pictures, and the Direct Sayings are simple statements of witness to the experience of being saved by God through Jesus Christ.
There is talk about a slain lamb, freed slaves, a high priest offering himself as a sacrifice on the altar, the canceling of a bond and nailing it to a cross in public, - - all of this and more can seem quite bizarre today. And yet these are obviously the efforts of people who have found themselves so caught up in a "happening" that they have searched all areas of their personal experience and their religious and cultural background to find ways to somehow communicate this great event in their lives to others.
Look at the following chart and then we can analyze it further:
Peyton L Palmore, III, February, 1999
As people wrestled with these stories and symbols down through the years, key theological terms have developed to describe the different concepts. These terms are not ordinarily used these days but they can be helpful to clarify our own thinking.
Propitiation puts the emphasis on what happens to God. It is based on the Old Testament concept that a sacrifice must be made to appease the anger of God before we can approach Him. In Hebrews 2:17 and 4:14-16 the Jewish cultus of the temple is brought to mind and Christ is seen as the supreme sacrifice which assuages God's anger and enables us to come before Him.
Expiation puts the focus on what happens with us in a legal context. As sinners, we have violated God's law and must pay a penalty before we can come before Him. The many passages listed under I-2 in the chart show that this is one of the most used soteriological symbols in the scriptures. Christ has been punished instead of us, an atonement has been made, a reconciliation with God has been achieved for us and we can once more come before Him.
Ransom and Redemption describes the process by which we have been saved within the context of the slave system so prevalent for so long in most societies. A price has been paid on our behalf and we have been freed from our bonds of slavery and can now walk as new men. (see Chart I, 3-4)
Reconciliation is best illustrated by the poignant story of the returning Prodigal Son. (see Chart I, 7 and Chart III, 3)
Each of us within our own personal context find a language to express our relationship with God in existential terms. This may involve the creation of new words and phrases such as Paul Tillich who originated and popularized the term for God as "The Ground of Our Being" in this ever shifting and unstable life in which we find ourselves. But even this is rooted in the many Old Testament references to God as being the rock of our salvation and evokes memories of the words in that old Gospel hymn: "On Christ the solid Rock I stand, all other ground is shifting sand..."
At-One-Ment: For myself, a reinterpretation of the term "atonement" has come to be the most helpful metaphor. Although it originated from the context of the Jewish Temple Cultus (see Chart I, 1 above) the term can also be used as a symbol for the story of the Prodigal Son if it is broken up into its constituent parts: At-One-Ment: the state of being at one with the father. Many of us find ourselves estranged from others or the society around us, drifting rootlessly through life. But through the recognition that God is the Lord of all life who awaits my return to this "ground of my being" and who relates me in a reconciling way to the world around me, I am made whole again. I feel "at one" with myself and with the world.
Thus, although some of these old soteriological symbols can seem confusing, it can be helpful to look at them once more with an eye to finding more relevant metaphors for ourselves and for communicating the Good News to others today.

Lucky #7
The Brewers won their seventh game in a row Friday night in front of 27,469 fans, beating the Pirates 4-2, and improving their record to a division leading 8-2.
Let me preface the next statement by saying "I know it's an extremely small sample size, and it's early." The 2014 Brewers have a feel and mojo about them that the 2011 team had when they went on to win the N.L. Central. I may even be bias because I picked this team to win 91 games this year before the season started, but this team has something "special" going on, and I think we're in for a fun ride.
As for the game, the Crew put up their first 2 runs after Carlos Gomez led off the 4th inning with a walk, two fielder's choices later Gomez was on third when the hot hitting Aramis Ramirez came to the plate and uncorked his first home run of the season, adding two more RBI to his stats.
The next inning, Mark Reynolds crushed a 440 foot solo shot to left field that was two rows from clearing the bleachers for his third round tripper of the season. Rickie Weeks scored later in the inning on a Carlos Gomez single.
The real story is Friday night's pitching performance, that's where the franchise record comes into play. Starting pitcher Wily Peralta allowed only 2 runs extending the sub 3 earned run outings by starters for the Brewers to 24 straight games (dating back to last season) which is a franchise record. Ironically the streak started with Peralta on 9/16/13 vs the Cubs. The Cubs hold the record since 1990 with 31 consecutive games.
Yovani Gallardo will take the mound Saturday night trying for his third win of the season, and hopefully extend the above mentioned streak to 25 straight games.
Also tonight, before the first pitch, Carlos Gomez will receive his 2013 Rawlings Gold Glove Award.

A knifeman faces a life sentence today for stabbing a man to death for asking if his crying daughter was all right.
Matthew Quesada, 26, was convicted of murdering Alan Smith, 63, in a "frenzied and wordless" attack, at the Old Bailey last month.
Mr Smith was stabbed five times in front of his partner and daughter as "revenge" for asking if everything was all right with the little girl.
Mr Smith went to the BB Cafe in Leyton, east London, on March 26 last year when he asked Quesada about the crying child.
Quesada replied: "What's it to do with you? Go away. What's it f****** got to do with you?"
Mr Smith was "eager to avoid confrontation" and so went with his partner, daughter and son-in-law to the nearby Roma Cafe.
Meanwhile, Quesada took his daughter home to his partner Maria Brigitte, and came back with a knife that he used to wordlessly attack Mr Smith.
The next day he was found in a car with his mother Victoria Passley-Quesada, 54, having cut his hair. He had his passport with him and details of flights to Brazil.
Brigitte, 26, from Walthamstow, east London, was found guilty of assisting an offender for keeping him updated about the police investigation, and will also be sentenced today.
Passley-Quesada, from Purley, south London, was cleared of assisting an offender.
Acting Detective Chief Inspector Steve Meechan said: "Alan Smith was a well-meaning man who simply wanted to inquire about a distressed child.
"He paid for his concerns with his life. Not happy with verbally abusing Mr Smith, Quesada went on to carry out a frenzied and unprovoked attack on a defenceless man.
"His actions have left a family grieving for a loving father who had simply left his home for a meal. We hope that today's result will bring them some comfort after everything they have had to go through."

Everyday People Living Extraodinary Lives – Louie King Jr
I've always found motivation in stories of regular people like you and me who are living with and through circumstances that would be considered unbearable. Yet the human spirit always is able to find a way to push forward. Once a month I will feature a story of Everyday People Living Extraordinary Lives!
I would like you to meet Louie King Jr. I met Louie when he was a student at the Professional Fitness Institute working towards his personal training certification. It was amazing to hear his story because looking at him you see a truly fit and strong individual and the first impression is he is probably genetically gifted and just a natural fitness nut. This is the amazing part because Louie is anything but genetically gifted and in fact at some point he would have told you he was genetically cursed. I'll let Louie tell you his story:
I used to sit and wonder why me? Then I started to realize I have a gift. My name is Louie I'm a 30 year old male that has traveled a very long and rocky road. I was born with a congenital heart defect of an enlarged heart; two holes in the upper chambers and a leaky aorta valve. When I was five I had my first open heart surgery to repair the two holes and remove a growth from underneath my aorta. My second open heart surgery came at the age of 14 and the goal was to place what they call an o-ring around the aorta. The purpose was the aorta would not close all the way so blood was reentering the chamber against blood being pumped so the ring would clamp down on the valve to help close it and seal off any blood from returning the wrong way. My third open heart surgery came at age 19 when the aorta and mitro valve became too weak and now was deteriorated. I then had my first cardioversion (being shocked with an aed to reset pace) I then had a defibrillator (icd) implant. Being an active 24 year old, I was shocked multiple times when I didn't need it. It took many trials and errors (Each shock feels like getting kicked in the chest by a horse). In 2007 my wires came lose and it took 6 surgeries and a 6 week stay in hospital to get back. So if you're keeping count, I've been cardioverted 5 times now and over 12 different heart related surgeries. And now…I'm a certified trainer helping others live a fun and healthy life. This is my badge of honor my right to be a trainer. Pain is temporary, quitting is forever.
Inspired by Louie's story? Find out more about him or message him to let him know he motivated you at Louie King Jr.

"Elphaba's Heirs and Assigns" by Gregory Maguire
Depending on how you count the years, I am about at my 25th anniversary of the original inspiration for Wicked. I was on a walk on a country road in Massachusetts, thinking myopically and somewhat self-regardingly about various offenses that I felt had been perpetrated against me. I was wondering about how apparently trustworthy people could turn dangerous, or if they really had been dangerous all along, merely well-disguised, even from themselves? A standard issue college dorm question, I suppose, but the matter seemed urgent to me that year. I moved from the slightly sore subject of my personal life into the realm of imagination to keep the question alive without it hurting so much, and almost immediately I thought of the Wicked Witch of the West--admittedly, more Margaret Hamilton than L. Frank Baum--and I wondered: Was she always terrible?
The momentary crisis of that year, combined with attention to acts of evil and distress in our larger world a few years later, brought me into Oz and the world of Wicked. Still, even eight years later when Wicked was first published, I hadn''t expected that the story would remain a presence in the world. I had an imagination big enough to see into every cranny of Oz, but not big enough to imagine that anyone else might get interested, and stay interested.
After the story of Elphaba hit the bookstores, the national bestseller lists, the book clubs, and then the Broadway stage, the increasing attention to the story prompted me to go back and follow up the clues I had liberally sprinkled in the first book. Son of a Witch posited that Elphaba and Fiyero had an illegitimate boy, and considered the troubles he would have first growing up with the Witch as a negligent mother and then, even worse, with his negligent mother gone from his life. A Lion Among Men followed up with the Cowardly Lion''s tale. Why the Lion and not the Tin Woodman or the Scarecrow, readers ask me. For a number of reasons, but chief among them is that the Lion is an Animal, and Elphaba''s concern for the flight of talking Animals makes his life story more urgent to the themes of the Wicked Years sequence.
So finally we come to Out of Oz, the fourth and I believe final book in the series. I feel both elated and elegiac to be bringing it to readers. I get to revisit characters I love--Glinda, under house arrest; the Cowardly Lion, on the run from the law; Liir, the Witch''s boy; and a little girl growing up in the shadows who may be pivotal to the resolution of military and social struggle in Oz.
Oh, and yes--Dorothy too. Dorothy Gale. That Dorothy. She comes on for something more than a curtain call. Face it: you always knew Dorothy was too strong a force to stay buckled down on the Kansas prairie, didn''t you? No earthly gravity can hold that girl in one place for long: she defies gravity, too, only without the broomstick.
Come for a visit and stay a while. (It''s over five hundred pages!) Out of Oz is, I hope, out of this world.
The stunning conclusion to the smash New York Times bestselling series the Wicked Years
Hailed as "bewitching," "remarkable," "extraordinary," "engrossing," "amazing," and "delicious," Gregory Maguire's Wicked Years series—a sophisticated fantasy cycle inspired by the classic children's novel The Wizard of Oz—became national bestsellers and the basis for a hit Tony-winning Broadway musical. Now, Maguire returns with the final installment in his transformative work, a thrilling and compulsively readable saga in which the fate of Oz is decided at last. . . .
Once peaceful and prosperous, the spectacular Land of Oz is knotted with social unrest: The Emerald City is mounting an invasion of Munchkinland, Glinda is under house arrest, and the Cowardly Lion is on the run from the law. And look who's knocking at the door. It's none other than Dorothy. Yes. That Dorothy.
Yet amidst all this chaos, Elphaba's granddaughter, the tiny green baby born at the close of Son of a Witch, has come of age. Now it is up to Rain to take up her broom—and her legacy—in an Oz wracked by war.
The stirring, long-awaited conclusion to the bestselling series begun with Wicked, Out of Oz is a magical journey rife with revelations and reversals, reprisals and surprises—the hallmarks of the unique imagination of Gregory Maguire.

In mid-1983, Michael Foot led the British Labour Party to a disastrous general election loss. The party, already in opposition, lost 60 seats in a 9.3% swing against it. Labour barely scraped into second place ahead of the SDP-Liberal alliance, with just 27.6% of the vote. Foot's economically interventionist manifesto and socialist rhetoric were blamed for the scale of the loss.
I wrote a post the other day about the widespread calls for a Parliamentary Budget Office. Now the Greens and Labor have reached an agreement that, amongst other things, commits the parties to pursuing a PBO.
The agreement says:
So, the agreement between Labor and the Greens settles three things: that they'll seek to establish a PBO, that it will sit within the Parliamentary Library, and that the rest will be decided by a committee. That leaves an awful lot yet to be decided, including the crucial question of precisely what the PBO's role will be.
Bernard Keane and Jeremy Sear have each backed the creation of a PBO in recent days, without making it clear what role they envisage for the institution. I suspect that some PBO supporters, particularly on the left, may resile from their support if the Parliamentary committee recommends a strong PBO (although there are good arguments in favour of a strong PBO, as Nicholas Gruen outlined in the comments on my last post).
I'll watch the process with great interest.

Cause Of Death Released In Omaha Double Murder
The Douglas County coroner reported Friday that 65-year-old Roger Brumback died of a gunshot wound and his wife, 65-year-old Mary Brumback, died of stab wounds.
Their bodies were discovered May 14 in their home near 114th and Shirley. Omaha police have been trying to determine if the killings are related to another double-homicide five years ago.
11 year old Thomas Hunter and his family's housekeeper, Shirlee Sherman, were found dead inside the Hunter home in Dundee in March 2008. The case remains unsolved.
Both sets of murders have a connection to the Creighton Pathology Department, where Thomas' father was a colleague of Roger Brumback.
Omaha Police say anonymous donors have raised the Crime Stoppers reward to $25,000 for information leading to the arrest of those responsible for the murders.

Time to go '"Yay!" then "Boo!"...
Microsoft communications manager Brandon LeBlanc has announced the company has performed a U-turn (it is getting good at this after the browser rethink) and will be giving out free copies of Windows 7 Ultimate to Technical Beta testers.
"Last week, I blogged that members of the Windows Technical Beta Program would not be receiving a complimentary copy of Windows 7. Normally I hate to be wrong but in this case, I'm stoked that I am. To show our appreciation, members of the invitation-only Windows 7 Technical Beta Program will be eligible for a free, final copy of Windows 7 Ultimate."
Yay? No, here's the Boo! part: users who tested the public Beta or Release Candidate of Windows 7 are exempt. These free copies are only for those testers who were invited into the Technical Beta programme and would have access to either MSDN or TechNet. Those who do quality will get full editions only and a choice to download the OS or fight over limited boxed stock. Downloads will be available from 6 August and physical copies on the global day of release: 22 October.
So near and yet so far...
In related news Microsoft Entertainment and Devices division head Robbie Bach has admitted Windows Mobile had "a challenging year" and while stating "Our experiences are very good in the business space" confirmed what everyone knew saying consumer "experiences are not as rich as they should be".
Have they learnt? Well, "We're excited about Windows Mobile 6.5" he concluded. I'm not, Windows Mobile 7 is where the real do or die stage is for Microsoft and I expect it to pull out all the stops.
Finally, you may come across a curious 'revelation' this week that Microsoft will be rebranding Windows Mobile at 'Windows Phone'. It's hardly news, we revealed this back in mid February but it has forced Microsoft to clarify its murky strategy with both the Windows Mobile and Windows Phone names still being thrown around liberally.
In short: Windows Mobile remains as Windows Mobile, Windows Phone will refer to the Windows Mobile package of mobile services as a whole comprising Windows Phone, Windows Marketplace and My Phone. Yes, it's unnecessarily messy but what else is new?

That Was A Hit?!?: Will To Power, 'Baby, I Love Your Way / Freebird Medley'
In our occasional series That Was A Hit!?!, we look at songs that snuck onto the pop charts and achieved improbable success. This week, Brooklyn-based writer Paul Forddug out this gem "Baby, I Love Your Way / Freebird Medley" by Will To Power.
As the title suggests, Will to Power's No. 1 hit, "Baby, I Love Your Way / Freebird Medley," combines a classic, over-the-top Peter Frampton tune with an equally classic, balls-to-the-wall Lynyrd Skynyrd song. And it's all tied together with what anyone would expect from something produced in 1988: heavy-handed synths, overproduced vocals, and terrible reverb slathered over the drums.
All this from a band named after a central concept in the philosophy of Frederick Nietzsche. (One member even sports a magnificent, Nietzsche-like 'stache.)
"I had to go spelunking to find this one," says Ford. "This is some sort of weird pocket of 1988.... You sort of need to hear it to believe it."
The year of 1988 was already quite bizarre, as it saw hits from a diverse array of groups, including Celine Dion, Michael Jackson, and Public Enemy. The success of such wildly different bands suggests that Americans in the late '80s had open minds, but who knew they would be as open as this?
"It really does feel like you've stumbled across this artifact from a lost civilization," Ford says. "I can't even bring myself to hate it -- I want to understand it."

text: Zafrika Sauvignon Blanc, South Africa, 2010, $4.99, Trader Joes. They say: A crisp, dry wine of high quality with aromas of tropical flavors and hints of green pepper. We say: citrus, grassy, not as strongly herbaceous as most sauvignon blancs, crisp clean, full flavored from beginning to end. Buy again: at $4.99 a bottle, definitely yes! (just wished we lived near a Trader Joes and didn't have to drive down to Atlanta!)

Our mission: To protect and enhance the quality of life for domestic, farm and wild animals in B.C.
December 30, 2011
If one of your New Year's resolutions is to get more exercise, why not engage the help of a personal trainer — of the four-legged variety?Dogs get you off the couch and exercising, which means improved health for both you and your pooch. Research backs this up. People with pets make fewer trips to the doctor, are less likely to need heart medication and have improved psychological well-being than non-owners. Like humans, animals enjoy physical activity for its own sake — they like to play. Craig Naherniak, humane education manager for the BC SPCA points out that dogs requires lots of daily exercise — depending on age and breed, one to two hours is appropriate. Some high-energy breeds, such as border collies and Jack Russell terriers, require more exercise than others so it is important to tailor your exercise program to your dog's breed. "Small dogs with short legs require less walking distance than larger breeds," says Naherniak. "Some short nosed breeds, such as Pekingese, may experience breathing difficulties while exercising, so frequent, shorter walks are best."There are numerous benefits to exercising your dog: "Fit dogs are more alert and content. They sleep better, have more energy and fewer socialization problems. Regular exercise helps dogs build strong bones, improves cardiovascular systems, and tones muscles. Active dogs also tend to live longer," says Naherniak. If distance running is your forte, make sure you choose a suitable breed. "Most dogs are 'stop-start' runners — they do best running for short bursts followed by walking. For most dogs, a long walk is more appropriate exercise than a run," adds Naherniak. The BC SPCA reminds all dog guardians to not exercise dogs by leashing them to a motor vehicle. "We also don't recommend people tether their dogs to a bicycle, skateboard or rollerblade, particularly in an urban setting," says Naherniak. "It is impossible to safely control the many distractions of other dogs, pedestrians and cars which put your dog and other people at risk." He notes that designated off-leash areas are the safest places to play.

Darwin Deez: Songs For Imaginative People
It would have been easy – all too easy – to think you had Darwin Deez figured out. He's the irrepressible pop auteur who broke into spontaneous, synchronized dances on stage. The mischievous musical sprite who wrote songs that were as infectious as they were offbeat; songs like "Constellations" and "Radar Detector" which became bona fide hits and lodged themselves in the brains for days. He's the one who brought some much needed verve and colour to the dreary indie landscape and became one of our most off-kilter and much-loved popstars with his self-titled debut LP, released in 2010. But scratch a little deeper beneath the surface and you would have found more depth and melancholy than quirky first appearances might necessarily have suggested, and a sonic ambition which reached far beyond merely writing solid gold anthems in waiting.
His 2011, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" sampling, "Wonky Beats" mix-tape saw him trading intricately rhythmic rhymes with Chiddy Bang, Das Racist and Dev Hynes and set the stage to expect the unexpected from Darwin. Now comes the sophomore album, "Songs For Imaginative People", another bold, mind-stretching move.
There's the same density of hummable tunes and idiosyncratic lyricism but, this time around, the scope is wider, the ideas more ingenious and abundant, the finished product revealing new textures and layers of sonic and lyrical genius upon each repeat listen. Whereas Darwin's debut deliberately restricted himself to rhythm guitar, bass and electronic drums, here Darwin is going widescreen, amping up production values and exploring new avenues, such as his newfound love for guitar shredding. Classic writing, sonic experimentalism, rhythm, and blues inform his palette of sounds, with the perfect balance of virtuosity and simplicity, not afraid to blend more extreme noise terror with layers of cushioning harmonies to echo the emotional quality of human experience.
Entirely self-recorded and produced in Asheville, North Carolina, then mixed in London with Charlie Andrew (Alt-J, Eugene McGuiness), the resulting album is the most fascinating and thrilling record you'll hear next year, as Darwin flexes his muscles and moves into unashamedly uncharted territory. It's there lyrically, as he explores his solidarity with existentialism (on first single "Free (The Editorial Me")), and, uses the schizoid blast of "(800) HUMAN" as a "prayer for deliverance from the existential inauthenticity of laziness and submission". His penchant for irresistible melodies is present and correct too, as in "You Can't Be My Girl", which is, in essence, a glorious paean to a damaged, and impossible, relationship "you're sweet but you're messed up/ your best friend is a red cup". Whilst, equally anthemic, 'Redshift' cleverly uses cosmological metaphor to poignantly dissect the pain of break-up, "Was there a big bang that I just missed? Did an explosion cause a redshift? 'cos you're moving away from me, what did I do? The Universe is just an empty space without you". This is a record so obviously connected with the artist's life, a record any soul can feel on every level. Witness also "Chelsea's Hotel", where rhyming couplets representing the romantic polarity of pursuit pinch the skin akin to stretching the sonnets of John Donne: "I'm not leaving, this is just the place, I've been homeless since the dimples on her simple face. And I've spent my fortune, I've torn the town apart, to build a hotel on her heart".
We're just scratching the surface. Ultimately, this is Darwin Deez MK II – his deepest, most personal and innovatively inspiring record to date.
