Back in 1975, Bjorn combined his love of music and high fidelity components with legendary Scandinavian perseverance to open his first store on in San Antonio.
Who could know then that Bjorn's would grow to become one of the most admired and award-winning audio/video dealers in the nation?
Well, his customers may have had an inkling. From the very beginning, Bjorn delighted in sharing his excitement and enthusiasm for the fast-paced world of electronic entertainment. Bjorn's has always been the place to see, hear and learn about the latest technology.
Bjorn has personally hosted countless public seminars and has achieved local renown for his series of television spots and Answers to Questions You Didn't Even Know You Were Supposed to Ask.
The bottom line is that we do what we do best and that makes us somewhat unique, but it's one of the key reasons why folks in San Antonio have come to trust us for excellent advice, service and great gear since 1975.

So your tool should create place holder images on your site for user can download it immediate no need to download then unzip for get file yet.
alok-theemon said
shinetheme saidOur concept is completely different from http://placehold.it/. We developed specially for marketplace developers where they develop themes with preview images. Now it is difficult for any one to type size of each image & create placeholder (even we faced this problem in our initial projects) so we created a tool where developer can upload all images once & our tool read the size of image & generate placeholder with same height & width. Yes we have very less features but it is much useful for developers.
This is great product but why not use this tool: http://placehold.it/
Jut typing any size you want and very easy to download.Best regards

Nominate A Town, I'll Write You A Song – Your Town Thursday
I didn't want to bother everyone recently. Too much going on with the election, the weather and all. But I would love to create a theme song for a local town once again. I've had a blast so far. Looking for a nomination, and some fun facts about it too!
Please leave your town nomination below and a few facts about it would help. Trivial, historical, fun, serious – any kind will do. No, we can't come to your town right now. We did the Small Town Tour in the fall, and had a blast. We'll be doing it again in the spring. But in the meantime –you can still make your town famous on next week's YOUR TOWN THURSDAY

Over the last two months the Spy introduced the motivation for he and Telecom engineer Benjamin Kowarsch developing a new language, or more precisely, a fully modern dialect of an existing notation--to address serious software engineering issues of safety, security, reliability, and extensibility--then offered something a little more than a "Hello World" as an initial example. In this piece, he briefly describes the baked-in building blocks of Modula-2 R10, that is the reserved symbols, words and reserved identifiers.
Modula-2 has always been smaller than but at least as expressive as any other mainstream general purpose language (including that thousand ton gorilla of notations known as Ada). Throughout the R10 design process, every proposed addition was scrutinized for necessity (use cases required) and potential for bloat. To mitigate the latter, in most cases, every addition required a deletion, so that the...| Read more »

Bjarne Melgaard (AUSTRALIAN, B. 1967)
oil on canvas

Painted in 2009.
New York +1 212 636 2000

Shanghai +86 21 6355 1766
This work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.
Bjarne Melgaard was once considered the 'bad-boy' of Scandinavian art for his intricate and outlandish installations involving elements from a decidedly underground sensibility ranging from hardcore heavy metal music to allusions to graphic S&M trysts, what he calls an aesthetic lashing out, a neo-neo expressionism or art brut. Yet Melgaard has recently turned to painting and drawing to re-discover the basics. Not completely gone are the scatological narratives, and flippant humor of his past works, but gone is the compulsion to shock with the ultra -violence of confrontation. Less abrasive than Melgaard's former works, these meditations on formal abstractions, fictional narratives and expressive strokes are a gorgeous combination of skill, passion and tenderness. Bjarne Melgaard has exhibited extensively in Europe as well as the US; most notably at Kunsthalle Wien Gagosian, Palais de Tokyo, Manifesta 11, Athens Biennial, and the Rubell Family Collection. Selected public collections: Astrup Fearnley Museet, Oslo, Magasin 3 Stockholm Konsthall, National Museum of Contemporary Art, Oslo, S.M.A.K., Ghent, Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, MARTa Herford, Germany.

This is a 2009 CTS-V fully loaded with every option. It is completely wrapped in a matte black including the door jams with an Oracal wrap for a very unique look. With good care this wrap lasts 8 years. The wheels were painted to match a semi gloss black with zero curb rash and the tires have 90% tread lift left. I bought this car with the wrap already on it, but prices for this are over 3000.00 to wrap just the exterior not including the doors and jams. If you ever get tired of the wrap it is easily removed without any damage to the paint. The original color is Diamond Blue this is the rarest color of CTS-V only 2.7 % were produced in this color. There is a 100k mile factory warranty with this vehicle. More pictures are on eBay. They are to larger to upload here.

Gitmo detainees subject to detention even if acquitted: Pentagon
Some detainees at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba will likely never be released because of the danger they pose, and those tried and acquitted will still be subject to continued detention as enemy combatants, a Pentagon spokesman said Tuesday.
If these guys are acquitted, this means that they have been found innocent of any crime
Since when, in the history of American law and justice, have we continued to hold people who have been acquitted??
This boggles the mind, and makes you wonder what kinds of judicial "stretches" this government, right now, is willing to take against American citizens whose only "crime" is disagreeing with its positions.
Please don't think that just because this is happening at Gitmo, that it couldn't happen here.

Exxon: Same Oil-ed, Same Oil-ed Brian Graney (TMF Panic)
October 25, 1999
Integrated oil and gas giant Exxon Corp. (NYSE: XON) posted its third quarter results this morning, beating the First Call mean earnings estimate by $0.02 with EPS of $0.61 versus $0.58 a year ago. Despite the slight surprise, Exxon's shares lost some ground as investors may have been relying on the tiger to turn in even higher figures for the period thanks to rising oil prices.
Overall, revenues jumped 16% from a year ago but net income increased by less than half that rate at 7%. Whenever investors see net income growth not keeping up with revenue growth from one reporting period to another, that's a good sign that margins are coming under pressure, regardless of the industry or the specific business model of the enterprise in question.
In Exxon's case, a 27% rise in benchmark crude oil prices during the quarter helped boost earnings from the company's "upstream" exploration and production operations but took their toll on margins for "downstream" refining and marketing activities, where oil prices represent the most important variable cost. Upstream functional earnings were up a strong 114% in the U.S. and 105% internationally. However, those gains weren't adequate enough to offset a slide in downstream earnings, which fell 17% in the U.S. and a startling 96% internationally.
This may sound bad, but it's pretty consistent with what many of the other integrated oil and gas firms also reported today. In fact, investors wanting to know what business was generally like for Mobil (NYSE: MOB), Chevron (NYSE: CHV), Texaco (NYSE: TX), and ARCO (NYSE: ARC) over the past three months need only to refer to the major themes in Exxon's earnings report and plug in smaller numbers. The big difference is that Exxon's larger exposure to downstream activities prevented it from putting up the kind of double-digit earnings growth seen by its more upstream- and oil-centric peers during the period. Then again, that's pretty much the way Exxon's business is supposed to react under today's prevalent conditions.
With an immense $55 billion of employable capital around the world, Exxon is anything but a nimble enterprise. All three of the company's main operations -- upstream, downstream, and chemicals -- are set up to leverage the advantages of size and scale, not react quickly to fluctuating prices in commodity prices. The company's focus on size as a competitive advantage is evident by the business moves Exxon did, or perhaps even more importantly, didn't make recently. Capital and exploration expenditures during the period fell 22% -- the reverse of what one would expect in a quarter when oil prices are strengthening. Meanwhile, worldwide refinery throughput was essentially unchanged.
Investors approaching Exxon from the angle of a potential long-term investment are better off ignoring how the business reacts quarter to quarter compared to smaller publicly traded integrated firms and focus on how the company stacks up against its real peers -- the world's major state-run oil and gas concerns. Exxon will always be at a cost disadvantage to these mammoth companies, even after wringing out billions of dollar of cost savings through its proposed merger with Mobil. But that reality alone does not mean that the soon-to-be-formed Exxon Mobil will be unable to produce market-beating returns over the long pull.
It's important to realize that those returns in the short-run will likely be generated in a very different manner compared to other publicly traded integrated firms. Much like the stated goals of Warren Buffett's initial Buffett Partnership in the 1950s and 1960s, Exxon's main thrust will be to perform relatively well in periods of declining or level commodity prices while producing potentially unimpressive relative results in rapidly rising markets. Over time, this strategy worked wonders for Buffett and his original limited partners; it remains to be seen if Exxon can make it work in the oil and gas business.

Will do business again. Worth all the money especially with no restrictions on how many lines and how much space you can get printed (insider or outside), other vendors do not allow that. Recommend highly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by anikabp from Excellent quality for the prince TL;DR: Pros: professional appearance, good quality card stock, amazing price, good delivery and design systemCons: Gloss shows finger smudges easily, and folders can easily damage if not handled appropriately Our small company ordered these to hold client proposals. They are professional-looking and the gloss isn't overbearing. The design process was simple and the preview function was very useful. Vistaprint usually delivers a day sooner than estimated, which is always a pleasant surprise. We found that the gloss smudges easily with fingerprints, so if Vistaprint ever offers a matte / linen finish option, we'd opt for that. The smudges aren't off-putting enough to wreck the professional image, though. We travel with these folders, and it seems the corners/edges can damage (become white or torn) fairly easily, so keep that in mind when travelling with these in a bag / shipping them anywhere else. They arrived in good condition, however. Our local print shops would offer the same product at only slightly better quality for close to $10 per unit, so if you're willing to be careful with them, these are a steal.

Newt Gingrich is acknowledging what has become increasingly clear: Mitt Romney is the likely GOP presidential nominee.
The former House speaker told Milwaukee radio station WTMJ Friday he thinks Romney "is clearly the front-runner." Gingrich said Romney "will probably" get the 1,144 convention delegates he needs to win the nomination, but added that Romney still has to earn it.
Gingrich has refused to leave the race. He said earlier this week that he would continue to campaign until Romney gets those delegates.
Gingrich's comments Friday were a turnaround from what he said after Romney's third-place finish in the GOP primaries in Alabama and Mississippi on March 13. Gingrich said then: "If you're the front-runner and you keep coming in third, you're not much of a front-runner."

Today is Fathers day here in N.Z. It should have been a happy day but for us it is tinged with great sadness ....our beloved daddy passed away a few weeks ago and this the first of many such days we have to face with mummy alone now . Not only that but we had to say goodbye to our friends Simba and Paddy our kitty playmates and Tori the dog as they have now gone to new homes. Mummy found herself having to let them go on to new homes as she was no longer able to keep all of us .... Faith and I are here trying to keeping mummy sane and until today we have been doing ok but then mummy dissolved in a puddle of tears this morning ....but the tears have subsided now and we are keeping her close to us and helping her remember the good times we all shared.
Daddy although you are not here on earth with us today we want to say Happy Fathers Day and we love you ... Mummy, Tyson and Faithe
Things have changed a lot now in our house ...poor daddy is now private hospital and we are now down to just Faithe and I and mummy. Mummy had to let Paddy go to a new home and Simba has gone to live with an Uncle ...Tori has gone to live with an Aunty as mummy could no longer keep them as her circumstance have had a major turnaround ...but we are all happy and well and that is the big thing. Now we all have to build a new way of living and are still getting used to this ...again we will do this in time and together ... Thank you to all out friends that have helped us and continue to support us ... news as it happens now
Mummy put Faithe , Simba and Mista up the passage and shut the door... or so she thought . She then let me outside for my walk and a bit later when she went in to the kitchen she saw Faithe , Simba ,Mista and me all outside ... Panic mode ... she came out side and called to us all but Simba and Faithe were having no part of that... Mista was not all worried and kept on doing his thing and I was too busy to take any notice . Faithe on the other hand was in a bigger panic than mummy was , running like the devil was after her she was looking for some where to hide and fast. Daddy by now had come to see what was going on and went and sat in the carport ... good move daddy as Simba went in there and on seeing dad went up to him and was happy . Mista followed them inside ... me .... wellI stayed out of harms way and did my own thing ...Faithe by now had disappeared....mummy searched and searched but to no avail ... for those who dont know Faithe she is white ,blue eyed and totally DEAF!! She has never been out side and now she is past panic she is petrified and wants nothing more than not to be seen so has found herself a bolt hole . Mummy on the other hand is past the crying stage and has been all around the neighbours asking if they saw her to please dont try and catch her but tell mummy,
I have had my walk and have gone inside and now mummy has all of us safely locked in except for Faithe ...
It is now dark and Faithe has been outside /missing for over 2 hours and mummy is beside herself with worry and fear saying it was all her fault and that if any harm happened to Faithe she was to blame .Why she went inside and then came back out again with the torch at that moment no one knows but she saw Faithe and saw where she went.
Shinning the torch down where she was mummy hoped that would bring her out and she could take her in but no way Faithe is having no part of that and so back into her bolt hole again, but mummy was not giving up that easy... again the torch light down where she was and sure enough out came her head ...then mummy showed her the treat packet she had in her other hand ... maybe .... and when mummy put some down on the ground close to her she came out to get them ... and mummy grabbed her ... and yes Faithe was safe again ...
Taking her inside mummy was shaking real bad and daddy who was outside saw this and followed her in and shut the door behind them. Mummy was so upset she couldnt put Faithe down but daddy talked to her and she started to cry and put her down ..he then came and let us out of where we had been locked up and I walked up to Faithe and kissed her head .....
We are all safe again and mummy is over it now but when I go out for walkies now the others are locked in the bedroom and the passage door is shut also . That was the night that we wont ever forget

Thread: Hoyt Customer service.
Hoyt Customer service.
Just visited my local bow shop yesterday and asked them if they carry Hoyt bows or if I could order one through them and they said that they didn't sell or order Hoyt bows anymore due to the poor customer service they provided for both its customers and the bow store itself. My local shop only sells Mathews and PSC bows (this is the same shop I ordered my Mathews Switchback from). From this statement, I may not be getting a bow from Hoyt at all. Can other Hoyt bow users give me any feedback on how Hoyt treats its customers and warranty repairs on its bows? I really wanted to pick up a Hoyt Trykon as a second bow.
Thanks and God Bless,

Man sounds like some B.S. to me! I have had to deal with the customer service before and they are very prompt and took care of my problem right away. If you get a dealer that is cool with his reps, the reps will probably be cool with them. BTW I have a Trykon XL and it is AWESOME!!! Trust me you will love it, Then again maybe not you do shoot a mathews you may be scarred for life now.

Thanks for the input sir. I still want a Hoyt Trykon. That is the thing with me, I've never been loyal to any brand (you limit yourself too much by doing this). To be honest, if money permits, I will get the Hoyt Trykon and a Bowtech Tribute. The Mathews shoots great, but I like to get different brands to shoot more extensively at home. To be honest, I would like to get three deers, with each bow. I may, however, wait until the new models come out from Hoyt, Mathews, and Bowtech before I get my next two bows. I'm curious to see how Mathews follows up on the Switchback XT. For some reason I don't see anything ground breaking new to follow up next year after the XT. I like the XT, but I prefer the original Switchback to the XT. You lose 3 FPS with a XT (315) as compared to 318 FPS with the original Switchback. The extra harmonic dampeners added to the XT really don't make that much of a difference to me (I shot the XT, and it is a great shooting bow, but it feels the same as the Switchback to me). Besides, the original Switchback was the all time best selling bow for Mathews. I don't see the XT beating that record anytime soon, especially since the original Switchback is still selling very well. There are just too many great bows to chose from these days. I wish my father was still around today (he passed away back in 1993), he would be loving life to the fullest with some of the great bows there are today. He was a die-hard Browning bow fan, but with all the great companies and compound bow advancements today, even he might have a hard time deciding which to get.
Even for me, the last time I shot a compound bow before I purchased my Mathews Switchback this year was 1989. Back then they didn't have all the high speed sights and the cool wrist trigger release device (I was pulling with the three fingered shooting glove). My shooting accuracy has increased ten fold from those days. I'm not the greatest shot in the world, but on the first day I purchased the bow and brought it home, after an hour of shooting I was putting three arrows center mass, in two inch shot groups at 50 yards. No, BS. It seems a little unfair how easy it is to shoot a bow these days. The deer don't stand a chance.
Take Care and may God Bless all the bow hunters!

I have a Diamond Victory and a Bowtech Allegiance. My Victory had a cable problem, which caused a major malfunction, and Diamond/Bowtech fixed it with no questions asked. Took about 2 weeks but no hassle otherwise.
A friend of mine has a Hoyt, but I don't know what model. He dropped it and thought one of the limbs split at the axle. He sent it in through his local dealer and Hoyt swapped the limbs out no questions asked, even though he dropped it and was his fault.
I'm not partial either however from my experience some archery shop owners/operators ARE partial since they want you to buy product from them. Archery is not exactly a huge sport like baseball. Companies are doing well to support their customers and dealers since they can't afford not to, in my opinion.
I would challenge the 'advice' you received. If you like the Hoyt, buy it from a reputable dealer that sells them and supports their customers.

I have had an instance of dropping my bow on some rocks and put a slight crack on the limb. Hoyt replaced them through my local shop. I have never had any issues the few times I have called Hoyt and my local shops all seem to have good working relationships with all the major Bow Companies.
If a Hoyt is what you want, I would only buy it from a shop that will support that product.
I've actually heard the exact same thing from a local shop in NE PA. They refuse to deal with Hoyt / Fuse / Easton because of how insanely rude and poor their reginal support and sales staff is. He said everytime he spoke with them they had this massive chip on their shoulder like "how dare you bother me"
He is dumping the Easton line, passed on the Hoyt line, and is dumping the Fuse stuff.
He sells Ross and Elite, not sure if he still sells Elite or not, I hope not, stupid D-eliteNo I'm not dead

The bow shop I deal with deals mainly in Hoyt. Probably 90 percent of their bows are hoyt. I guess that has to say somthing about the company. I don't think he would primarily deal hoyt if they were such a problem to deal with. I know it does take a while when you order a bow. It took me about a month and my wifes about the same time.
My shop sells Hoyt, Mathews, PSE, Bear and Bowtech/Diamond. They also sell Easton products. I was over there yesterday picking up a couple of things and asked the owner if he had problems with support from any of their major suppliers and he said no. He iterated that Easton, Hoyt and Bowtech were the best manufacturers to work with that he has ever sold. He also said Mathews was very good to work with but he's only been a Mathews dealer for a short time and did not have a lot of experience getting support from them.
Maybe it depends on the personality of the people asking for support. Act like an a** and get treated like an a**...
Just a thought.
when I ran the shop at the place I used to work at, we sold hoyt and pse.....pse by far had better customer service and went out of there way to keep the customer happy.....hoyt on the other hand was always very short and uncarring w/the customer......any time someone had a limb problem w/a pse it was replaced w/no questions asked.....just what serial number is the bow....hoyt on the other hand would not send a set of limbs if you did not send them the deffective ones first.....great when it happens a week before the season, but how about when it happens durring the season......this happened alot w/hoyt......for that reason and the fact the hoyt dealers in this area dont know there butt from a hole in the ground.....is why I will never own a hoyt....yeah the trykon is nice but not nice enough to buy from a pompous company or a pompous dealer.....I cut things up and split them down!

SXSW 2011 Events: Your Quick Guide
Every year, Austin's South by Southwest Conference brings together a stunning selection of thinkers and performers. From killer concerts to dynamic tech talks, it's one huge testament to the power of live events—and many of SXSW's industry leaders are using Eventbrite.
For starters, if you're heading to Austin, check out our own bash at Empire Auto. Held in the middle of SXSW (on Wednesday 3/16), and featuring great indie bands, live graffiti art and more, it's a perfect way to transition from the Interactive conference into the Music side. But don't delay! As of this writing, the event is nearly sold out…
And that's just the beginning. Our own Julia Hartz is speaking at a Social Commerce panel on Wednesday 3/15. And of course, Eventbrite is supporting tons of networking happy hours and pitch parties, tweetups and top-flight developer events. There's even the ever-popular TechKaraoke! And because we know picking your agenda can be as overwhelming as it is exciting, we've assembled a quick and easy guide to SXSW parties, handily organized by date. So give it a glance, and find the events that are right for you.
See you in Texas!

The Denmark international sustained the injury in Sunday's 4-0 Premier League defeat at Tottenham.
"Daniel has got a fractured rib, so he's struggling a bit," Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish said.
But Agger's agent Per Steffensen said: "It's the worst possible news. He has broken two ribs, and he must keep still for four weeks. Daniel is way down now and I certainly sympathise with him.
"He will miss the two (international) matches against Cyprus and Portugal and there is a match against Manchester United he also misses. It's insanely annoying."

Your friends are choosing sides for some playground football. What's worse than being picked last?
That's what just happened to the hundreds of college players who were not picked in last week's NFL Draft. Sure it's discouraging but most are not giving up. They are working hard to join NFL teams as undrafted free agents.
Tony Romo, QB – Dallas Cowboys (2003)
NO ONE picked the current starting quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys! That's amazing. Romo has shown he belongs and then some, leading the Cowboys to playoff appearances in 2006, 2007 and 2009. So far in his career, Romo has completed 2,439 passes for 29,565 yards, with 208 touchdowns!
Antonio Gates, TE – San Diego Chargers (2003)
Gates is an eight-time Pro Bowler and five-time All-Pro who was named to the NFL 2000s All-Decade Team. He was also awarded the NFL Alumni's Tight End of the Year Award in 2005.
Wes Welker, WR – Miami Dolphins (2004)
Welker is a five-time Pro Bowler, two-time first-team All-Pro and led the NFL in receptions three times. He currently has 949 career receptions for 9,358 and 48 TDs.
Kurt Warner, QB – Green Bay Packers (1994)
Warner was a four-time Pro Bowler, was named an All-Pro twice, was NFL MVP twice and Super Bowl MVP once. He also holds the top three Super Bowl passing records. When he finally got his phone call from the Rams, he was stocking shelves in a grocery. Never give up on your dreams!
Josh Cribbs, WR/KR - Cleveland Browns (2005)
During his eight NFL seasons, Cribbs returned 387 career kickoffs for 10,015 yards and eight touchdowns. He also ran back 195 punt returns for 2,154 yards and three scores. He was named to three Pro Bowls and ranks sixth overall in league history in return yardage.
Jeff Garcia, QB – San Francisco 49ers (1999)
After spending a year in Canada, Garcia became the San Francisco 49ers starting quarterback. He then went on to make four Pro Bowl appearances in 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2007—the first three with the 49ers and the final one with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Priest Holmes, RB – Baltimore Ravens (1997)
After leaving the Ravens to join the Chiefs, Priest Homes became a superstar. He ended his career as the Chiefs all-time leader in rushing yards, rushing touchdowns and total touchdowns. He is also a three-time Pro Bowler, a three-time All-Pro and was named NFL Offensive Player of the Year in 2002.

August 28th, 2005… More than 1800 people lost their lives because of a strong hurricane that took place in the United States. In your academic institution you may be asked to write a hurricane Katrina essay, where you will investigate either the natural phenomenon of Hurricane Katrina from the geographical point of view, or the events that took place on 28th of August from the historic point of view.
If your Hurricane Katrina essay relates to Geography, you may discuss the following issues:
- nature of hurricanes;
- description of hurricane Katrina's main peculiarities;
- region subjected to the hurricane Katrina's affect;
- duration of the hurricane's power.
Many researchers in the field of Geography investigated hurricane Katrina, so it will not be a problem for you to find the sources necessary for writing your essay on hurricane Katrina.
If essays on hurricane Katrina refer to history, you may find a lot of online information from the informational services like CNN or BBC. You will just have to evaluate the problem, analyze the amount of losses, and present statistics in your hurricane Katrina essay. In this case, essays on hurricane Katrina can consider the following points:
- Unexpected emergency of hurricane Katrina;
- Transportation of evacuees with medical needs;
- Government benefits;
- Mournful anniversary of hurricane Katrina.
These were some ideas that might be included into your own hurricane Katrina essay. Now that you have got a general idea of what you will be investigating, let you remind what structure your hurricane Katrina should have:
- Introduction, where you will present the problem and a thesis statement;
- Body, where you will support your statement by statistical data and research results;
- Conclusion, where you will sum up all said in the entire text of your essay on hurricane Katrina.
Remember about the importance of revising and editing essays about hurricane Katrina. Probably, a sample of an essay on earth quake or a Geography coursework example will also be useful in making your hurricane Katrina essay.
When buying an essay online, remember - format of an academic paper is an important part of the grade that you will be getting for the paper. Be sure to purchase from a custom writing company whose writers strictly follow the academic standards for an essay, research paper, or any other assignment you choose to order. At OvernightEssay.com, you can be sure that all of the formatting requirements will be followed to the last detail to make your custom paper perfect.

"Despite knowing about the advance ordering disclaimer, I ordered the gift on the 24th (from California) and was hoping to get it delivered on the 25th (to Belgrade). As soon as I placed my order one of their reps called me asking me to confirm the delivery address... I said fine but it'll have to wait until tomorrow because my int'l friend is asleep at the moment. I woke up the next day and my friend was in tears because she got the gift delivered. Figuratively speaking, I was floored. I couldn't believe that within a few hours they were able to figure out the delivery address and have it shipped to her. All of their reps are amazing and will go above-and-beyond in making sure you're a satisfied customer. In 30 years I have never experienced better customer service -- A+++ all the way."

In Buyer's Guides: Atomic Clocks
Atomic clocks receive a radio signal from the most accurate clock in the world, the cesium atomic clock, transmitted from the National Institute of Standards in Fort Collins, CO. The radio signal that covers the entire United States will keep your clock accurate to within one second over one million years. You'll never have to reset the clock, even for daylight-saving time!
The US Naval Observatory which operated 70 "atomic clocks" provided the following background information about these clocks: 'A cesium beam atomic clock uses the exact frequency emitted by atoms of the metallic element cesium. Today, cesium clocks measure frequency with an accuracy of one second in 1,400,000 years! It is the most accurate realization of a unit that mankind has yet achieved. A cesium clock operates by exposing cesium atoms to microwaves until they vibrate and counting the corresponding cycles as a measure of time.

I have brain lock. I'm trying to do a post about the Modern Atlanta 2011 fashion show fund raiser. So far it's more than my little brain can handle.
So here are a few sights from the 9th floor of 2 Peachtree Pointe. Architecture tourists will recognize everything but perhaps not from this angle.
Millions saw the front and inside of "The Temple" in "Driving Miss Daisey" but few have seen the cupola from up here.
The Temple is way bigger than it appears from Peachtree.
The roof of Rhodes Hall is quite a sight from here. You can see one of the skylights.
Peachtree Christian Church is a landmark but did you know about all those magnolias? The steeplejack in the blue shirt went right over the side after I took this pictures. I didn't feel so hot after after watching that.
The lobby of WSB. Which was first, this or the Louvre? Have you been inside?
I didn't like this so much until I saw it from eye-level. Now, I have a crush. It wasn't always a Chick-fil-A sign.
That's four sights. If you've been kind enough to read this far, you get a bonus: my #1 favorite sight from the 9th floor.

The League sent a letter to the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on House Administration urging Representatives to vote no on H.R. 412 and H.R. 195. These bills would repeal the presidential public financing system and terminate the Election Assistance Commission (EAC).
The League submitted a statement to the Presidential Commission on Election Administration outlining the five key suggestions the League proposes for improving the polling place experience for voters.
Rooted in the movement that secured the right to vote for women, the League has worked to foster civic engagement and enhance access to the vote since our organization was founded in 1920.
This Friday, March 15th at 2:00pm ET, we will co-host a tweetchat with fellow voting and civil rights groups to explain the nation's strong need for the National Voter Registration Act. Use hashtag #NVRA to join the conversation.
The LWVEF is pleased to release a new whitepaper entitled Power the Vote 2012: How a new initiative launched results for millions of voters.
The brief in Arizona v. Inter Tribal Council argues that the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) blocks a documentary proof-of-citizenship requirement to register to vote imposed by the state of Arizona.
On Wednesday, September 12, LWVUS President Elisabeth Macnamra testified before the U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary at a hearing entitled "The Citizens United Court and the Continuing Importance of the Voting Rights Act."
LWVFL and Brennan Center sent a letter to the FL Secretary of State outlining in greater depth the problems with Florida's illegal systematic purge.
The Flordia League, with the LWVUS and the Brennan Center, filed this amicus brief in support of the US Department of Justice suit challenging the illegal and inaccurate voter purge initiated by the state of Florida. The National Voter Registration Act bars systematic voter purges within 90 days of an election.
The League and coalition partners sent the following letter to members of the U.S. Senate asking them to oppose an amendment on the Financial Services and General Government Appropriations bill that would eliminate funding for the Election Assistance Commission.

Dear furiends,
Please please purr for my Uncle Norman: http://www.catster.com/cats/704546
He is very sick right now and needs all our purrs and prayers!!
Thank you!!
Stormy "Stormin' Norman" Irene
Hi efurryone,
This is my first diary entry and I'm writing to let you know that yesterday, Momma took me back to the vet for a problem. Totally unrelated to that problem, she asked Dr. Carey to confirm that I was still a boy (Momma was starting to think maybe not). Dr. Carey confirmed -- "Nope, it's a girl"!! WOW!! I don't feel any different, or look any different or act any different, so I don't know that it means much right now...
So Momma updated my profile. My middle name is now Irene since I was found during Hurricane Irene, but Momma says that because I'm so spunky my nickname is still Stormin' Norman after our Sweet Face Friend Norman. I hope he doesn't mind that I'm a girl now. Stormy Irene "Stormin' Norman" -- that's a lot of names, even more names than my big brofur and sisfur Junior Fluffkins and Tethys Fluffkins have!!
I'm off now to pounce on something...

We picked up some lovely Collard Greens the other day, and didn't want to simply shred and slow cook them.
Collard greens turned out to be excellent for wraps and there are so many possibilities for fillings. This time we filled them with my favorite quinoa dish .
Apple Quinoa Curry Salad
We prepared the leaves by cutting the thick part of the stalks and dropping them in boiling water until they got soft and changed color to a intense green. We then drained them.
When the filling was ready I put some on the leaves and wrapped them up like burritos. We served it as an appetizer however it would make a very delicious light lunch and one that will become the family favorite, no doubt 🙂
Quinoa Apple Salad with Curry Dressing
Serves 4
- 1/4 cup raw whole almonds
- ¼ cup raw pumpkin seeds
- 1 cup white quinoa
- 1 teaspoon agave nectar
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- Freshly ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons dried cranberries
- 1 small apple, cut into 1/8-inch-thick wedges
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spread almonds and pumpkin seeds on a baking sheet; toast in oven until lightly toasted and fragrant, about 7 minutes. Let cool; coarsely chop nuts.
Rinse quinoa thoroughly; drain. Bring 2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add quinoa; return to a boil. Stir quinoa; cover, and reduce heat. Simmer until quinoa is tender but still chewy, about 15 minutes. Fluff quinoa with a fork; let cool.
Whisk together agave, shallot, curry powder, salt, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Season with pepper. Whisking constantly, pour in oil in a slow,; whisk until dressing is mixed in. Add quinoa, cranberries, apple, seeds and nuts; toss well. Serve as is or use for your collard wraps.
Enjoy ……Zuzana & Nikki

Back in the day — when we were still using corded land-line phones and movies like Who Framed Roger Rabbit? and Die Hard were huge box office smash hits — we had only a few options for viewing our favorite shows. We could wait for the show to come on TV, record the show on a VCR, or maybe buy the series on VHS. Today, we have at least a dozen options to choose from.
Since Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX) entered the picture in the late '90s, its membership has grown to over 40 million global users, and other similar services, like Hulu, have become available to consumers. In spite of the availability of streaming services like Netflix and mobile media services like iTunes and Google Play, many of us still pay around $1,000 to the cable company each year. A Business Week publication estimates the average cable or satellite bill at $80. For the big three services — cable, internet, and home phone — The Wall Street Journal estimates indicate we paid around $128 per month, compared to only $48 in 2001. Over the ten year period, the amount we pay to the cable company increased by over 250 percent.
Many people who subscribe to cable services watch only a few channels — out of the hundred or so channels on their viewing guide. The 35 most-watched cable networks include channels like USA, ESPN, Fox News, Disney, MTV, and CNN. Sixty-six percent of cable viewership is on the most-watched networks. In addition to watching their two or three favorite cable networks, many people have premium channel or two in there as well. Time Warner's (NYSE:TWX) HBO is the No. 1 rated premium cable channel, and the company has accumulated around 127 million worldwide subscribers to HBO and its sometimes dirty cousin, Cinemax.
Premium networks, particularly HBO and Showtime, hook consumers in with series like True Blood, Dexter, Californication, and of course, Game of Thrones. Topping cable viewership recently with over 7 million viewers, HBO's Game of Thrones draws its audience in, using a combination of fantasy, intrigue, suspense, and sexualized scenes.
Whether a viewer gets their game on or maybe they're more into vamps, keeping up with a favorite HBO or Showtime series involved some monetary cost. Calculating exact spending and performing a cost benefit analysis will help determine the most cost effective way to watch these shows.

ITworld.com –
What is Napster? According to the company Website, Napster is "a completely new way of thinking about music online." That's for sure.
Napster automates the process of searching for and downloading MP3-format digitized music files. What used to be a long, frustrating process that involved searching for shady FTP sites that were usually overloaded with downloaders is now a snap, thanks to Napster.
Napster offers a registration server that the client on a user's PC contacts when it starts the application. The client registers with the server and uploads an index of all the music files currently available on the user's machine.
Napster thus turns machines on which it is installed into servers. All their MP3 files are available to anyone else that's using Napster. As I write this there's more than 910 GB of music being offered by 1,720 clients.
Given that the biggest users of Napster are students and that many educational institutions now provide a switched 10 Mbps port to each dorm resident, it's easy to see how bandwidth consumption can skyrocket.
Just how much of a load does Napster put on the network? Over a five-day period, Napster traffic originating on Duke University's residential network network consumed an average of 20 to 30 megabits per second. On numerous occasions the Napster traffic made up more than 50 percent of Duke's total outbound bandwidth utilization. More than 250 GB of Napster data was was transferred during the past weekend.
Is there a way to curtail Napster? Technically, yes. Napster uses TCP port 6699 as default. Putting a filter in the residential network and Internet routers that block this port brings Napster traffic to a screeching halt. halt. We've tried it and it works. Blocking www.napster.com adds an extra measure of security, as all clients must contact the site before they can begin begin exchanging music files.
But simply forbidding the use of Napster and blocking access to the site isn't the best approach. Crafty programmers would quickly come up with a way around the port blocking -- Napster already allows users to choose their own port -- and mirrored servers with new names would get around the site block.
An alternative for network managers is to assign a priority level to Napster traffic. Your routers can be configured to allocate only so much bandwidth to Napster traffic, dropping packets when bandwidth consumption exceeds the threshold. This approach puts a heavier load on the routers but has the advantage of not explicitly blocking the traffic.
There will be more services like Napster popping up in the future. So what can be done? Education. Launch an information blitz describing copyright violation and the penalties for it. Show users how their PCs are being turned into servers. Give folks a chance to do the right thing and most of them will.
Meanwhile, begin thinking about assigning quality of service capabilities to your network.

Thankfully, it looks like the company is seriously beginning to ramp things up a notch, as the Pantech Vega just might be that high-end Android smartphone that we've been waiting for them to concoct. For starters, it's going to be flaunting a sizable 4.5" display with a mind-bending resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels! If that's not enough to get you salivating, it's also packing a 1.5GHz dual-core processor of some sort, 1GB of RAM, monstrous sized 1,860 mAh battery, 16GB of internal storage, NFC, T-DMD mobile TV watching, and LTE connectivity.
South Korea for right now, there is still some possibility that it will land stateside. We've been hearing and seeing a lot about the phone, even as early as last spring, but now that it's seemingly official, we're crossing our fingers that this will launch in other markets in the near future.

January 18, 2012 at 6:57 pm #1195
I had been using archos devices without any google apps for which f-droid was perfect and recently I just got my first android phone which came with the google market et al pre installed.
However, I intend to remove the market along with other google apps and was wondering if any one has any resources or articles of people getting on with a google-free android. It's not really a popular concept according to my google searches but there must be some guides as to what you can and should remove, as well as things you should not remove.
Obviously gonna root my phone first. I have already considered cyanogen mod but it's quite buggy for my device and the stock rom and warranty along with the greater funtionality is more valuable to me.
I know this is not directly linked to f-droid but I thought someone here might have some insight to share. I plan to use f-droid as my only market like application, supplementing with apk's from the android market which i will install on my archos and then rip for convenience (on the odd occasion where I might need a specific app).
any thoughts?..
..and thanks for sharing all the hardwork that's gone into f-droid!
PS. are there many/any alterate repos that also work with f-droid yet?January 20, 2012 at 2:53 pm #1201
There is a list about what parts are save to remove from CM.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/BarebonesJune 15, 2012 at 7:12 pm #2240
It might be a good idea to have a separate category for Google Replacements.
Cyanogenmod keeps the nonfree Google apks in a separate archive called gapps, so you can avoid flashing those at least or remove them if you have them already. There are free clients for all the Google services if you count the browser. K9-mail can access your Gmail since that is an Imap service. Beem and the built-in SIP client can replace Talk. You might want to consider using a different product for some of the others. Osmand allows you to use free mapping and navigation from Openstreetmap. Firefox will sync your bookmarks. Owncloud does many of the Google services like calendar, contacts and music if you are willing to rent your own server. Sparkleshare is a similar replacement for Drive, Tiny Tiny RSS for Reader, WordPress for Blogger. If that sounds too difficult many things can be done very nicely without cloud syncing. It is easy to make backups of your contacts within Android and you can read your feeds with Sparse-rss. The calendar is actually a bit trickier. Once those are sorted all that's left is face-unlock, DRM for movies, voice search and possibly video chat and text-to speech.June 21, 2012 at 6:43 pm #2363
Cyanogenmod keeps the nonfree Google apks in a separate archive called gapps
That's true, but they ship their own unfree software – ROM Manager[0]
Does somebody have information about what license policies the bigger mod projects have? Did CM, AOKP or MIUI ever state that they only ship unfree stuff if there is no alternative? (like firmware/drivers)
all that's left is face-unlock, DRM for movies, voice search and possibly video chat and text-to speech
there are free libraries for face recognition – if you really want it.
DRM is not a feature you want in a free environment
CSipSimple does (nearly) support video[1] and imsdroid does too
I'm not sure if the tts engine is part of AOSP and therefore apache licensed but there is also eyes-free[2].
Fazit: you don't need google at all! 😉
[0] http://android.stackexchange.com/a/18357
[1] https://code.google.com/p/csipsimple/issues/detail?id=112
[2] https://code.google.com/p/eyes-free/June 22, 2012 at 10:10 am #2373
Maybe we should submit the eyes-free apps. They look like they're free but I saw them in gapps so I thought there might be an issue.
IMSdroid has different apks for different protocols, among them webrtc. Webrtc is supposed to be available in Chromium 18 with a flag switch but it doesn't work for me (ubuntu is still on version 18). I haven't tried Linphone but it's supposed to handle video on armv7, according to the market description.
AOKP is one of the few other roms that keeps gapps separate,I think only because they are region-locked apps in the Market. I don't follow the project but maybe they could be convinced into including F-droid? Somebody on xda said that there would exist support for a "tinfoil-edition rom". I don't think replicant is to many peoples liking but maybe cyanogenmod – nonfree apks + f-droid for the nexus devices would be worth pursuing.June 22, 2012 at 9:18 pm #2393
Beaten to it, as it were //forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27522482&postcount=1 . The thread is for to replace Market, Network Location and Maps Api with non-google alternatives. A replacement map api would be the one that would interest me the most as it would allow me to install the large number of free apps that wont even install unless you also have Google Maps.
Cyanogenmod doesnt give you much of an alternative if you want to use a different search engine in the browser. Also they offer no way to disable auto-complete of url entry. I dont want everything I type into the address bar being sent to Mountain View so I use Firefox which has become just as good and allows you to have custom search engines like we are used to on the desktop.
Even with all this done I still see connections to Google via the SystemUI and Key Chain processes (using the OS Monitor app in the repo), even though I dont use any special certificates.July 22, 2012 at 3:55 pm #2832
"Somebody on xda said that there would exist support for a "tinfoil-edition rom". I don't think replicant is to many peoples liking but maybe cyanogenmod – nonfree apks + f-droid for the nexus devices would be worth pursuing."
And for the Xperias! 🙂
Anyways, I'm currently in the same bind as 'smoki'. This week I received an Xperia X12 (marketed under Arc S) and I'm striving to get along without any specific Google app (including a Google account and the Market). If all goes well in time I plan to gain 'root' access and strip whatever is unnecessary, according to CM wiki [1]. I will also remove some suspicious permissions from the handful of closed-source apps that I use.
Sofar the following works for me:
– I installed F-Droid and a load of open-source apps. Some do not excel in design, but most apps cover most of my needs. Sofar I don't need Gmail (K-9 Mail), Maps (OsmAnd+), Talk (Linphone), etc.
– There are several closed source that I want to use (Opera Mini and Mobile, Economist, Cherry SMS), others that I have to use (WhatsApp), and others for which there are no decent alternatives readily available (Android System Info, QuickPic, Handcent SMS, F1 Live Stream). To acquire these free apps I do not want to use Market and there are several ways to do so.
– To install some of the closed-source apps listed above I use Aptoide, an (almost [2]) open-source market from which F-Droid was forked.
– If you are migrating from a phone using Market and you already have most of your needed apps installed, use Open Manager to backup the apps (generate a folder with all the required APKs) and use those on the new phone.
– Another way to obtain Market APKs without having a functional Market on your phone is the 'APK Downloader' Chromium extension [3]. I haven't yet tried it, but it looks promising.
– There are also fancier ways to do this, such as install an Android Emulator on your computer [4] or edit your build.prop file to use a fake device fingerprint [5][6]. I'm not yet there.
One thing that bugs me at the moment is how to obtain notifications of new versions of Market apps. Is there some online service that notifies of Market updates for a specific list of apps? AppBrain? AndroidZoom?

"Cyanogenmod doesnt give you much of an alternative if you want to use a different search engine in the browser. "
You can always use DDG [1] for this. In my experience it gets better and better with time, with more relevant results. It doesn't track. DDG itself ships a non-free client, and F-Droid contains an original FOSS DDG client.July 25, 2012 at 2:57 pm #2835

I used this guide: http://fsfe.org/campaigns/android/liberate.en.html This is how I learned about f-droid . 🙂August 2, 2012 at 7:55 pm #2889
"how to obtain notifications of new versions of Market apps. Is there some online service that notifies of Market updates for a specific list of apps?"
It turns out that there is such an app. Unfortunately 'App Update Notifier' is closed-source and ad-driven. It can be installed from the SlideME market (for those with no access to Google Play). The app allows to check updates on Play for _all_ apps installed on the phone (even for those installed installed from F-Droid, etc.). Other than the ads and license issue, pretty cool.

I don't try to remove Google from my phone, but it's nice to replace closed source with open source.
For Google Network Location there is an alternative: NOGAPPS Network Location
It even works offline, see
For the Google Maps API there is a replacement as well. It's called NOGAPPS Maps API v1
You can have a look in the thread here
"NOGAPPS Network Location
Open Source replacement for Googles NetworkLocation.apk
Network location can be determined online or offline. For offline use there is a database of gsm phone cells at /sdcard/.nogapps/cells.db required. The NOGAPPS NetworkLocation Database (copy to /sdcard/.nogapps/cells.db) is based on dumps of opencellid-project and can be downloaded here:

By the way, instead of Beem you can also use Gibberbot (it is already in F-Droid). For me Gibberbot worked more smooth than Beem.December 30, 2013 at 6:21 pm #9978

I'd like to see F-Droid become as big as Google Play as an app store, but there are some big gaps right now.
Compared to Google Play, F-Droid doesn't have ratings (why not do it like Ubuntu Store?) and installing and updating requires watching the download bar go across, then clicking ok to upgrade/install. (The last step can easily be done with rooted devices, why not make it 1 step?)
The applications seem a bit sparse compared to all the spam of Google Play, but the biggest problem seems to be the application support. I notified you guys about my security and compatibility release about 3 weeks ago, with no response: https://f-droid.org/forums/topic/tunesviewer-university-podcasts-for-android/page/2/#post-10085
Also Ghost commander seems to have the beta 1.51 while 1.51 is available on its sourceforge page, the "added on" date is missing on the repository webpage listings, and I've noticed some apps say they're incompatible when they aren't, or the other way round. (for example, Anagramsolver actually only works on newer Android versions.)
There really should be a testing/QA group for final updates of these on F-Droid, or at least comments/reviews. I would be glad to do some testing and hope that Fdroid doesn't get slowly discontinued, because it's a great idea.February 9, 2014 at 8:25 am #10366
You can propose app inclusions and updates yourself by filing a Merge Request at Gitorious. See https://f-droid.org/forums/topic/adding-apps-with-git/ . For things in F-Droid that you consider as bugs, feel free to report them here: https://f-droid.org/repository/issues/
