runtastic and runtastic PRO In Depth Review
For those of you just joining us, we are on a continuing journey to learn more about heart rate monitors, and the best way to choose the right one. Our website covers all types of electronics and tech stuff, but overwhelmingly, triathletes and runners come to our site to check out methods to measure heart rate and learn more about GPS watches. We have had so many questions about using smartphones as a heart rate monitoring device, which smartphone heart rate monitor straps to buy, and which apps to use that we decided we should start reviewing the the heart rate monitor straps, and the smartphone apps that work with them. Today, we are reviewing runtastic and runtastic PRO apps for smartphones.
Before we get started, we should tell you a little bit about us and how we perform product evaluations. We have a group of 4 people who do the evaluations of all of the stuff. One person is the lead on a piece of gear, but everyone gets an opportunity to evaluate the product. We have 2 guys and 2 ladies, so it's a good mix of people. It gives us better insight, and we get a better review overall. Everyone has an input to the review, and if there is a major disagreement, we will note it in the review. If you want to know who these people are, check out our About Us page. Four of us are seasoned triathletes, and 2 of us are are also full time Pilates instructors. Jennifer Lynn, who is a guest blogger, is a full time Pilates/spinning instructor. All swim, bike, run, do Pilates and Yoga, and use all of the gear on a daily basis. Many of you have read the FitnessElectronicsBlog disclaimer, but here it is in case this is your first time reading one of our reviews. For the record, we are in no way connected with runtastic or any of the companies whose gear we review. We love playing with the latest technology, and we couldn't keep our hands off this stuff if we tried. We downloaded and purchased runtastic and runtastic PRO from the iTunes and Android Play store. We typically don't take gear for free, and there is never give-us-gear for a favorable review, or anything like that. We call 'em as we see 'em. It keeps us honest. Typically, if we like the product, we spend our own money to make sure we have it around to use. it helps us answer questions, and compare products, and check out the latest software updates. So, enough with the babble. Let's get to the review.
So who and what is runtastic? runtastic is an app aimed at logging your fitness in a number of different activities and sports. Here are some of the apps and sports that runtastic have created:
The apps that we are reviewing today are runtastic, and runtastic PRO. These apps are centered around running, and logging your run.
So how did runtastic start? Here s a little bit of the company history:
runtastic was founded in 2009 by four friends with a shared passion for combining exercise and technology: Florian Gschwandtner, Alfred Luger, Rene Giretzlehner, and Christian Kaar.
The idea for the company actually began two years earlier, when Christian and Rene were master's students at FH Hagenberg. Their thesis project, called mSports, focused on using GPS technology available on smartphones, such as the Apple iPhone and Google Android phone, to track race positions for sailboats and racecars. Using a smartphone mounted on the boat or in the car, sailors and racecar drivers could track their overall location and position using the mSports application.
The project was interesting, but purely experimental, and neither Christian nor Rene had any business background to take mSports from a great technical idea to a commercial product. As graduation neared in mid-2009, Christian secured a job offer in Amsterdam and was set to pursue an exciting new career. In the meantime, Rene approached his old friend, Florian, who had more business know-how, with the idea to productize mSports in some way. He was intrigued, enlisted his friend Alfred with whom he was studying at FH Steyer, and the two business-focused men decided to help Rene during his off-hours.
runtastic can thank the economic crisis of 2009 for the rest of the company's history. Three days before he was supposed to leave Austria, Christian's potential employer rescinded the job offer! Seeing the opportunity that presented itself, both Florian and Alfred quit their existing jobs to join Rene and Christian and found runtastic.
Today, runtastic develops a series of apps and gear that help athletes of all levels track their activities, share progress with friends, track their heart rates and locations, and many related features. runtastic apps are available on the iPhone, Android, Blackberry, Windows 7, and bada platforms. Tens of thousands of runners, walkers, hikers, bikers and other athletes enjoy runtastic apps every day.
The company is headquartered in Pasching, Austria with an office in San Francisco.
One of the founders of runtastic, Florian Gschwandtner is the CEO of the company and is responsible for overall business development and product development. Prior to founding runtastic, Florian was an international project manager at NTS Wincash GmbH, which develops and installs point-of-sale (POS) systems for mobile network providers worldwide, such as AT&T, Verizon, and Vodafone. Florian holds a master's degree of science and engineering in mobile computing from the FH Hagenberg (Austria) and in supply chain management and e-commerce from the FH Steyr (Austria).
Typically, the first question we usually get is, which phones work with runtastic?
- iPhone 3G, 3GS, 4, 4S. If you want to use a heart rate monitor, you can use the runtastic Receiver and chest strap on any of the iPhones listed above. If you want to use the Wahoo BlueHR or Polar H7 heart rate monitor straps, these are only compatible with the iPhone 4s.

So what's new?
Here is what's new in the latest versions of the app:
Using the app
We will dive right into using the runtastic. Once the app has been downloaded, you will be taken to the login screen:
Here you should login to your runtastic account. If you haven't created one, you can create one through the app, or go online to www.runtastic.com and do it. It only takes a minute. After you have logged in on the phone, it's time to make sure you have the app settings configured the way you want. Click on the Settings icon in the lower menu bar, and you can see all of the settings that can be changed:
Clicking on Activity takes you to the Activity screens, where you can choose your activity. You can choose from 28 different activities:
After you have chosen your sport and setup your distance and temperature units, you might want to setup Voice Feedback. You can set the volume and language of the voice, and the feedback interval:
You can choose which metrics use the voice:
Clicking the Live Tracking setting allows you to connect with your friends, and share your workout:
Selecting the Interval setting allows you to set up an interval workout. We will cover this in more detail later:
You can choose to turn headphone control on or off. If you are using Apple iPhone headphones, you can use the button to start and stop your workout:
The Social Network Accounts setting allows you to post automatically to Twitter and Facebook:
If you have a heart rate monitor, you can pair and connect it with the Get Heart Rate Monitor and Heart Rate settings. You can use a runtastic heart rate receiver and chest strap, an ANT+ dongle and heart rate monitor strap like the Wahoo Fitness Run/Gym Pack for iPhone, or a Bluetooth Smart heart rate monitor like the Polar H7 or the WahooFitness BlueHR (note – the Bluetooth Smart heart rate monitors only work on an iPhone 4s or later). For my tests, I am testing a Polar H7 and Wahoo Fitness BlueHR heart rate monitor strap. I will start out with the Polar H7 HRM:
When you have paired and connected your heart rate monitor strap, you can set your maximum heart rate and heart rate zones:
Clicking Invite a Friend lets you send an email to a friend without leaving the application:
Clicking the Website icon in the lower menubar shows people around you, and live workouts taking place:
Now that you have the application setup the way you want, it's time to get going and start a workout. My first workout with a new phone app is typically a walk around the the park that is down the street. There is a short 4 mile loop that I walk around, and while I'm doing this I check out the app. So the first thing I did was to fire up the app, and pair it with a heart rate monitor strap. This time, I paired it with the Wahoo Fitness BlueHR Bluetooth Smart heart rate monitor for the iPhone:
Next, I went to the Session screen, and started my workout:
Click on the Session icon in the lower menu bar. You will see the main screen of the app:
There are 5 main screens that you can view during a workout. They are the music screen:
The main workout screen (there are different metric display settings which I am showing):
The full screen map view:
The metrics graph view:
And the Compass screen:
On the main screen, pressing the landscape button gives you a full screen view of the map:
I'm walking around the lake that is shown on the map:
After you are done with your workout, you can upload it to the runtastic website. You can add any notes and observations during your workout before you upload:
You can also set up your own workout. On the main Session workout screen, before you start your workout, you can see in the middle of the screen a button to change the type of workout. If you select this button, you get the following screen:
By selecting Workout, you can select interval training. You can choose from one of the three standard interval workouts, or create your own. You can add a Warm Up and Cool Down, and add as many repeats of different times and speeds as you need:
You can also create a Target Pace workout, by selecting your target pace, and hitting the start button. This is a great way to maintain your pace on a tempo run.
You can also also purchase a training plan from runtastic. This will add the workouts in your schedule:
Overall, the app is very easy to use, and worked very well to this point. Now that I had logged some data from my walk, viewed it on my phone, and uploaded it, it was time to go online and see what capabilities the online website had.
You can view all of your workouts online, with as much detail as you like. Here is a map view, with elevation, speed and heart rate plotted against time:
Here you can view your heart rate. Since I was walking, my heart rate didn't change much:
There are many other features available online, but this gives you a good idea of some of the viewing features available to you.
Thoughts, Opinions and Summary:
- The app is very easy to use. Maps and data fields are easy to configure and use.
- Has all of the most requested features
- The heart rate zones are nice
- Has Facebook and Twitter posting capability
- The online workout review and graphing features are a plus
- There are settings for 28 different sports to choose from when selecting a workout
- The app layout is easy to navigate
- We really liked the interval workout feature in the Pro version
- My personal favorites were the weather and temp capabilities, geotagging capabilities, interval workout feature, remote control features with the iPhone headphones, and ease of uploading your workout
Would we recommend it? The answer is yes. We use this app, and feel that this is one of the top 3 workout logging apps. runtastic is free, and runtastic PRO costs $5.99 in the iTunes store. I recommend the PRO version if you are looking for the ultimate app.
As an FYI, iTunes gives the free version of runtastic a rating of 4.5 out of 5 star rating, and runtastic PRO a 4.5 out of 5 star rating. The Android Play store gives the free version of runtastic a rating of 4.5 out of 5 star rating, and runtastic PRO a 4.5 out of 5 star rating. Check it out below:
runtastic Lite – Android – Free
runtastic PRO – Android – $3.99
We will leave you with a few runtastic videos. The first is a general video showing overall features:
Here is a video on how to use runtastic abroad:
Here is a video on how to use the iPod controls in runtastic:
Here is a video on how to upgrade to the PRO version:

As always,
Happy Training!!

National Workshop on the Future of Māori Research
National Workshop on the Value and Future of Māori Research
Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga (NPM) is convening a national workshop on Thursday 20th March 2014 at Waipapa Marae, the University of Auckland from 12pm to 6pm. This workshop will discuss the crucial role that Māori Research has in the future of New Zealand. The workshop will be facilitated by Professor Charles Royal, Director, NPM, and key speakers include Sir Tipene O'Regan, Sir Mason Durie and Associate Professor Leonie Pihama.
Needs and opportunities facing Māori communities are critically important to New Zealand's future development. The 'Māori dimension' of New Zealand society, culture and economy is a 'net national opportunity' as these communities are now on the cusp of a new era of development signalled by, among other things, the settlement of major Treaty claims.
Research driven by Māori communities concerning these needs and opportunities –with high Māori involvement, utilising Māori knowledge, methodologies and approaches – is crucial to enable Māori communities to cross this threshold into a new era of development and yield this 'national opportunity', ensuring their wellbeing and that of the nation. It also aids the success and achievement of Māori in higher education and scholarship, providing the basis for future Māori research, leadership and positive contributions.
Professor Royal states "it
is vitally important to invest in research concerning needs
and opportunities facing Māori communities particularly
research with high Maori involvement."
The need for a national workshop follows the news and national discussion and debate unfolding regarding the future of Māori research given the shock news not to short list NPM for further Centre of Research Excellence or government funding. NPM is the leader nationally, and perhaps internationally, in this area. This decision by the Royal Society of New Zealand has now posed the question 'is there a space for Māori Research in the future?'
Ngā Pae o te Māramatanga
(NPM) is a Centre of Research Excellence consisting of 16
participating research entities and hosted by the University
of Auckland. NPM conducts research of relevance to Māori
communities and is an important vehicle by which New Zealand
continues to be a key player in global indigenous research
and affairs. Its research is underpinned by the vision to
realise the creative potential of Māori communities and to
bring about positive change and transformation in the nation
and wider world. Visit

Technically Speaking
Unlike traditional mascaras, tubing mascara is made from an acrylic copolymer. Upon application, the copolymer binds together as it dries, creating an adhesive encasement around each lash that won't wear off or flake.
Limitations and Imitations
Other companies have created their own versions of tubing mascaras, but they often overreach. "There is a limitation to how much volume and length you can generate with copolymers," explains Farsedakis. "Companies tend to combine traditional mascara ingredients along with copolymers to try and achieve both things and there is a reduction in performance."
Health Benefits
Aside from the aesthetic benefit of never again experiencing raccoon eyes, there are other advantages to going the tubing route. "Women who have sensitively issues from regular mascara aren't necessarily allergic to the ingredients," says Farsedakis. Instead, "they are having a reaction from all the gradual flaking throughout the day." Since an acrylic copolymer doesn't flake, it's a great alternative for anyone who has a delicate eye area, as well as those who wear contacts or have recently undergone laser surgery.
Clean Removal
For anyone who hasn't used a tubing mascara before, the first time you remove it can be a little freaky. The tubes release with a combination of water and light pulling, but it can look like your lashes are coming off in your hands. Don't fear — it's just the acrylic polymer, not your lashes.

PITTSBURGH, November 10, 2011 - ACA President and CEO Matthew M. Polka issued the following statement regarding the national Emergency Alert System (EAS) test on Nov. 9 conducted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
"The decision to conduct the first national test of the Emergency Alert System on Nov. 9 was a wise one because government must have confidence that it can reach the public with life-saving information in a crisis. As many have pointed out, the EAS test produced mixed results. In many communities, the test went smoothly; in others, there were difficulties. Working with the FCC and FEMA, industry participants that encountered problems will surely strive to correct the situation as soon as possible.
"ACA is in the process of collecting data from its members and will share the results with the FCC and FEMA in due course in order to ensure that the EAS is a predictable and dependable public safety asset that will help protect property and save lives."
"Lastly, I would like to thank all the dedicated staff members at the FCC and FEMA who put in countless hours to prepare for the national EAS test. It was a huge effort carried out by a public-private partnership that truly performed a great service for the American people."

ST. PETERSBURG — The energy had bubbled up and over. Anthony Lawrence Jr. had kept his emotions sealed for an unnerving 34 minutes of basketball before they spilled out in the frantic final two minutes of regulation and overtime Friday night.
Lawrence needed redemption for Lakewood and himself.
For most of the first half, he was reduced to a witness. He watched as childhood friend Barry Brown fueled Gibbs' first-half offensive explosion by swishing 3-pointers to give the Gladiators an 11-point halftime lead.
In the second half, though, Lawrence was unleashed and he breathed a bit of life into the Spartans as they mounted a furious comeback in a physical 53-52 overtime victory over Gibbs. It was payback for Lakewood, which lost by a point in overtime to the Gladiators last year.
"I just knew in the second half I was going to have to step up to get us fired up," Lawrence said.
After a subpar first half, the Spartans (5-1) refused to allow Brown to beat them anymore from long range. Brown, who finished the first half with 15 points, including four 3-pointers, scored just six in the second half, four on free throws.
Lakewood's tight defense wasn't just stretched to the perimeter. Lawrence also made sure it was felt inside. Brow furrowed and jaw clenched, Lawrence's post position grew deeper and deeper in the second half. On several possessions, he had Gibbs defenders virtually pinned as planted sequoias beneath the basket.
By grabbing rebounds, creating turnovers and swatting shots, Lawrence helped ignite the Spartans on a run in which they outscored the Gladiators 21-13 in the third quarter to cut the deficit to 41-38. In the fourth, Lakewood kept chipping away until it tied the game at 48 at the end of regulation. Lawrence came up with three big rebounds down the stretch, including the one that sent the game into overtime.
"In the second half we just executed our offense better," Spartans coach Anthony Lawrence Sr. said. "We were throwing up crazy shots in the first half. We needed to settle down and score out of our offense. And we had to limit Barry Brown from shooting as much on the outside."
In overtime, the teams traded baskets before Lakewood's Jared Gregory hit a pair of free throws and teammate Shabazz Waller hit one on the following possession to give the Spartans a 53-50 lead.
Brown followed by hitting two free throws to make it 53-52. Lakewood had a chance to ice the game on a long inbounds pass for a would-be breakaway layup. But traveling was called. That gave Gibbs the ball with 7.1 seconds remaining. Brown took the last shot and missed the layup. Lawrence grabbed the rebound, his third in overtime.
It was a tough loss for the Gladiators, who fell to 3-2 with their second one-point loss this season.
"We just turned the ball over too much down the stretch," Gibbs coach Larry Murphy said. "We're young and we're going to go through those growing pains. But we'll be okay."

John Mayer Disses Jennifer Aniston, Describes Jessica Simpson's Sex Habits in Totally Classy 'Playboy' Interview
Oh, John Mayer, you silver-tongued devil…
The Battle Studies troubadour opens up about his personal life in the new issue of Playboy, and the results are pretty much what you'd expect when you combine a venerable men's magazine with a notoriously loose-tongued ladies' man.
Mayer gets the TMI train rolling while discussing his relationship with Jessica Simpson—or at least certain aspects of his relationship with the Dukes of Hazzard actress:
"Yeah, that girl is like crack cocaine to me…Sexually it was crazy. That's all I'll say. It was like napalm, sexual napalm. Did you ever say, 'I want to quit my life and just f*cking snort you? If you charged me $10,000 to f*ck you, I would start selling all my sh*t just to keep f*cking you.'"
Alas, another one of his conquests, Jennifer Aniston, fails to garner such rave reviews. Discussing his breakup with the former Friends-ter, Mayer gets in a not-so-subtle slam at this former squeeze, implying that she's stuck in the past and clinging to her glory days:
"There was a rumor that I'd been dumped because I was tweeting too much. That wasn't it, but that was a big difference. The brunt of her success came before TMZ and Twitter. I think she's still hoping it goes back to 1998. She saw my involvement in technology as courting distraction. And I always said, 'These are the new rules.'"
Sure, Twitter's great, but it does have one drawback: How could one possibly convey how utterly classy John Mayer is in 140 characters or less?

Unfortunately this eBook is only available from within Australia.
That which makes you different, makes you great!
When he was fourteen, Keith Craft looked at his right hand and realized that he had a fingerprint that nobody else had and that no one else ever would. God had made him unique. Today Keith Craft believes the glory of God is literally revealed in the individual fingerprint that He has given us. In Your Divine Fingerprint, Craft teaches you how to identify, amplify, and celebrate your uniqueness—and your connection to God.

When you understand the power you have to choose how a moment will affect you, you can then begin to define the moment instead of the moment defining you. And by taking action, you get nearer to fully living the greatness that God has given you and has given to no one else—the 1% you have that no one else has.
Pastor Keith Craft wants you to realize your greatness. He wants to give you the tools to overcome your blind spots, to find your winning edge, and to become the greatest thing you can be for the rest of the world—a servant leader. He wants to challenge you to believe not only that God created you but that God has a great purpose for your life. When you believe this, your life turns from natural to supernatural. And you start to live the blessed life that God wants you to live!

Chef Jim Coleman's Valentine's Salad:
Butterhead and Mescaline Salad w/Grilled Star Fruit and Edible Flowers
For this recipe you will need:
3 tbsp. Champagne vinegar

Brad Abrams of Microsoft often posts interesting hands-on tutorials about ASP.Net, AJAX, and Silverlight-related topics. This week he posted two especially good ones, based on his talks at AjaxWorld.
In case you find this confusing, no, Firebug is not a Microsoft product.
Building Rich Internet Applications Using Microsoft Silverlight 2 eventually takes the same "from scratch with free tools" approach, only this time for Silverlight rather than AJAX, although Brad just had to start with a marketing pitch about Silverlight success stories, demonstrate the progress on Moonlight (Silverlight for Linux), and demonstrate the Eclipse Tools for Silverlight. In the middle of the "free tools" demonstration he cheats a little and makes some changes with Expression Blend, which isn't free. But I won't hold it against him.

Of the players who saw regular time on the Capitals' roster this season, three are set to become restricted free agents and the team obtains negotiating rights simply by submitting a qualifying offer. Washington has the right to match any offer from another team and receives compensation if the free agent were to ultimately sign elsewhere.
For more on the Capitals' unrestricted free agents, check out a breakdown from Tuesday.
A quick note: Players' salaries, not their salary cap hits, were included for offseason purposes. All numbers, including qualifying offer calculations, are from Capgeek.
Karl Alzner
2012-13 salary: $1.27 million | Qualifying offer: $1.27 million | Age: 24
2012-13 regular season NHL stats: 48 GP, 1G, 4A, -6 | Playoffs: 7 GP, 1G, 1A, +3.
Alzner's play is something akin to the pledge of the postman in the sense that "neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet nor hail" shall keep him from being a steadying, reliable presence in Washington's top four. The Calgary native hasn't missed a single game in the past three years, since he earned a full-time spot in the NHL, and has been a stable defensive anchor for the Capitals all along the way.
While Alzner won't command a cap hit like John Carlson at nearly $4 million – defensive defensemen never earn the salaries of their more offensively inclined counterparts — he's due for a raise, and a sizable one at that. Don't be surprised if the Capitals aim for a deal that would include at least a few years of his unrestricted free agent eligibility.
Marcus Johansson
2012-13 salary: $900,000 | Qualifying offer: $850,500 | Age: 22
2012-13 regular season NHL stats: 34 GP, 6G, 16A, +3 | Playoffs: 7 GP, 1G, 1A, -3.
After missing 12 games with a concussion, an injury he foolishly tried to play through for two weeks, Johansson found his groove in the regular season as the top-line left wing alongside Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom. Coach Adam Oates routinely cited Johansson as a driver of the unit's success, and the 2009 first-round pick put forth some of his best performances to date as the season wound down.
While he's showing improvement and will likely receive some type of raise, keep in mind that Johansson is coming off his entry-level deal and few RFAs in that position have significant leverage in negotiations.
Tomas Kundratek
2012-13 salary: $600,000 | Qualifying offer: $660,500 | Age: 23
2012-13 regular season NHL stats: 25 GP, 1G, 6A, -5 | Playoffs: 0 GP.
His combination of right-handedness and an ability to make a strong impression on Oates and assistant coach Calle Johansson in Hershey during the NHL lockout led to a speedy call-up for the young defenseman. Kundratek learned on the fly and helped the Capitals cope with a variety of injuries on the blueline until he went down with one himself.
While he didn't play another game in Washington after suffering a sprained MCL in his right knee in March, Kundratek went from prospect to viable option in the NHL. There's no reason for the Capitals not to re-sign him, if only to bolster organizational depth. It wouldn't be surprising to see him back in the mix in Washington at some point next year, either, especially given Oates's preference for having a right- and left-handed defenseman on each pairing.

The January fires that accompanied the week-long heatwave wiped out the last remaining wild population of the mallee emu-wren in South Australia.
The loss of up to 60 breeding pairs at two sites means the only place on the planet where the mouse-sized bird survives is in Victoria's Murray-Sunset National Park, between Mildura and Ouyen, where about 1000 birds live.
Ecologists warn this makes the species incredibly vulnerable, as a single fire could render it extinct.
''It will be touch and go for as long as we remain in the fire season,'' said Monash University ecologist Rohan Clarke.
Dr Clarke said the last refuge for the emu-wren was in a mallee corridor known to be prone to dry lightning storms that start fires.
''The mallee emu-wren can't escape a fire. They spend most of their time scurrying on the ground because their power of flight is limited to five to 10 metres,'' he said.
During the week-long heatwave that began on January 13 lightning ignited fires in Victoria's Bronzewing Flora and Fauna Reserve in the Mallee, one of just three sites home to another endangered bird, the black-eared miner.
All the 40-odd miner birds in the reserve were killed in the fire, limiting the species to just one population in the state, again at Murray-Sunset National Park.
''It's become an incredibly important site for the survival of these birds,'' Dr Clarke said.
The only other place the black-eared miner is found, is in South Australia's Bookmark Biosphere Reserve. About a third of these birds were lost in last month's fires, leaving a population of about 600.
Dr Clarke said to minimise risk, both species needed to be brought into captivity where their numbers could be boosted. In the longer term, captive-bred birds could be released to increase both the wild population and the species' gene pool.
But the chairwoman of the black-eared miner recovery team Rebecca Boulton said the post-fire landscape was also bad news for the birds.
''Even if they do return, our research shows that the habitat would not be suitable for 15 to 20 years for the emu-wren and up to 40 years for the miners,'' Dr Boulton said.
Australia has lost 27 bird species since European settlement and another 20 are considered at ''imminent risk of extinction'', according to BirdLife International. It says a further 20 species are classified as critically endangered and 60 endangered. Habitat loss, agricultural expansion, climate change and pollution are among the main threats.

At this point, I have read "The Strange Talent of Luther Strode" at least six times. Written by Justin Jordan and art by Tradd Moore, this Image series is an amalgam of everything I love about comic books. The premise is both ridiculous and amazing: Nerdy teenager orders a "get buff quick" magazine, he gets abnormally buff very quickly, he then proceeds to fight crime with a hyper-violent vengeance. This is a cursory description of the plot, as I don't wish to spoil any specific plot points, but suffice to say the story goes in a much larger, more interesting direction than I originally anticipated.
The best stories in any medium start out with an easy to grasp concept and then proceed to evolve and branch out. Justin Jordan masterfully accomplishes this with Luther Strode. In high school I was, and to this day still am, a nerd. As a result of my lifestyle, I instantly identified with Luther and his struggles. The nerd suddenly gaining the strength to avenge those who have wronged him is a fantasy many people have portrayed, especially in comics. The difference between this story and others with a similar premise is simple, Justin Jordan asks the real world questions that most actively choose to avoid. If an inherently irresponsible teenager suddenly gains the power to grant death on a whim, what are the consequences? (Hint: Not good.)
"The Strange Talent of Luther Strode" is a super violent book. At one point a man gets his head kick-sploded, which is pretty damn awesome. The violence is depicted beautifully by the incomparable Tradd Moore. The art really shines during the more violent scenes, with some panels tinged throughout with the color red. Moore adeptly uses bright colors to contrast the inherently dark nature of hyper-violence, resulting in an absolute visual treat. An outsider could glance at this book and make a claim that the excessive violence is done for shock value, that the ultra-violent nature of the book serves no purpose. I would argue, as I'm sure both Justin and Tradd would, that this is not the case at all. The gratuitous amount of violence serves a true purpose, to accurately showcase the destruction wrought by the abuse of power. Admittedly though, the ultra-violence makes the book a whole lot more fun. There are some stories that benefit from the absence of violence, but Luther Strode is most definitely not one of them.
A blood-soaked coming of age tale, "The Strange Talent of Luther Strode" is the perfect fusion of incredible art and masterful storytelling; with just the right amount of heads being kick-sploded.

Before there was Gaga, there was Grace.
Grace Jones, 64, and still with the kooky couture, graced Wimbledon on Tuesday in one of her signature outfits, although rather tame compared to her off-the-planet getup for her performance at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Concert in London earlier this month.
For Wimbledon, the Jamaican-born Jones sported towering heels (a friend helped her totter past the paparazzi), leggings on her extra-long legs and a patchwork-patterned hoodie topped with what looked like a red felt box cap with a narrow visor on top. Plus, big sunglasses.
Never one to hide her light under a bush, Jones has been provoking gasps with her fashion since...well, long before Stefanie Germanotta, 28, morphed into Lady Gaga.
Jones outdid even Gaga when she sang her hit Slave to the Rhythm at the June 4 Diamond Jubilee Concert looking like an extra from an old Star Trek episode. Dressed in a red-and-black Wonder Woman-like hard-shell bodysuit and towering headpiece, she twirled a hula hoop and never dropped it throughout the song.
That concert was cluttered with old stars - singers like Cliff Richard and Tom Jones are in their 70s, after all - but none of them looked as fab as Grace Jones.

I want to buy a theme here at themeforest for a new company that will be founded soon. The name and the logo of the company will be finished in around 2 weeks but I would love to write some articles and edit the design earlier.
Is it possible to install the theme on a "test"- domain (because the "real" domain with the name of the company will be registered later). After that I'm going to transfer the databases the theme. The "test"-domain will be deleted then.
Do I have the rights to do it this way or do I only get the rights for a one time installation?
Thank you for your answers!
Have a great evening.
It must be ok, it's the only way I ever do it…I think the agreement is installation on one domain…however, if you removed it from one domain and put it on another, you still only have technically one domain installation of the theme. You just can't leave it on your test domain after you've moved it to the real client's site obviously.

The Kooser Family!
Welcome to the Lakeside Lounge! We hope you love and enjoy this home as much as we do! We are the Koosers. We have 3 sons and we built this home for our family as a place to build many happy memories. We hope you do the same!
Ellen Kooser purchased this house in 2008
This home is much more than your average 'rental'. When you stay here, you will feel as if you are staying at a friend's retreat. Just read our reviews from happy repeat guests.
When we built this home, we had just come home from a trip to St Martin in the Caribbean. The house we stayed at was phenomenal and I wanted to copy all the things we enjoyed in that unique property. So we added things most rentals don't offer. Personal items...high end appliances....beautiful dishes and full bar...big comfy beds with lots of pillows and high thread count sheets and Pottery Barn quilts. We furnished the home with our personal items and custom leather furniture from Arhaus Furniture. I want our friends and family and guests to feel like they are staying in a first class resort. I hope they do! Finally, we want the home to be clean...no excuses. And we work hard to give every guest a feeling of being welcome.
This house was picture perfect upon arrival. The owners and cleaning team made sure the first impression was stunning! Clean, well decorated, and well accessorized made this house perfect for our group of 17 guests from 10 -99 years in age. Three large master suites, two big bunk rooms, bathrooms, kitchen, gathering spaces inside and out were all utilized during our week-long stay. The lakeside lounge is also in a perfect location - quiet inlet off the lake for swimming and cocktails on the dock, close enough to several marinas, and the "Dare to do it" Jumping Bridge. Its also close enough to town to pick up the last minute needs for the grill or cooler to make each day a rewarding adventure vacation all on its own. The owners of this great property made sure we were connected with boating options from Oasis Watersports who delivered an almost brand new pontoon boat to the dock at the house before we even arrived. This beauty sat 16 and allowed us to take almost our entire crew for morning, or evening excursions around the TVA's first project in the USA. I can't say enough about this house, the owners, and the experience. We will try to come back again as it was also the perfect centralized gathering point for family from VA, TX, GA and Ohio. We will be repeat "USERS of the KOOSERS!"
The Lakeside Lounge is the perfect place for a family vacation. The home is beautiful and has everything you will need. The location is perfect. We loved feeling like we were in a private neighborhood on the lake - which was simply beautiful. We enjoyed our days fishing, boating, jet skiing, and rafting. Our teenagers all loved it too. We hope to come again!
We felt right at home in this beautifully well kept home away from home. Gorgeous lake view every morning. Nestled in a quiet cul-de-sac, fun water sports, close to the "jumping bridge". You couldn't ask for more. The owners pride shows in how nicely decorated and well stocked with everything that you need the house is. Truly does not feel like a rental property. We will definitely be brining our family back!
Everything our family is looking for is included with this gorgeous lake house. Large kitchen, multiple bedrooms and bathrooms. 2 decks and a private hot tub over looking the lake and dock. Plenty of room for boats, paddle boards and jet skis. We love our annual trip to Norris Lake and this special home has helped create many fun memories
Lakeside is truly a home away from home. Surrounded by luxury and beauty both inside and out. Lakeside provides all the amenities anyone could wish for with comfort and ambience of being in your own home until you step out onto the amazing decks and take in the spectacular view of the lake!!!
We look forward to our yearly visits and are now making it out twice a year!!
THE BEST house on the lake to stay at! We recently stayed here for a guys' trip at the end of summer. Could not have gone smoother. The house is meticulously clean, everything worked, and it was as if the house had never been rented before. As an owner of a boat rental service on Norris Lake, I see all different types of houses/renters on the lake, and it is a VERY tough business. This house and the homeowners are the best there is, and they always take care of their renters! Perfect location, perfect house, perfect owners!

Two Worlds II - ESRB Ratings Details
For those that care about such things, Destructoid has looked at the ESRB decision on the Two Worlds II rating for the US release ('M', if you didn't know). Naked buttocks appears to have everyone excited:
Players can also slash at unarmed townsfolk who cry out in protest (e.g., "No, please! Stop it! Get away!"); some cutscenes depict creatures that have been impaled on large spikes. Other sequences include references to prostitution and sexual material (e.g., "Men pay women for their company, nothing more. It never becomes physical unless the girl wants it to" and "[He] did force himself on me. He invited me over under the false pretense of discussing an exam I failed.").
One quest allows players to access journal entries that reference explicit sexual fantasies of submission and bondage. In one cutscene, a female character's buttocks are exposed as she seductively approaches a male character. Language such as "f**k" and "sh*t" can be heard in the dialogue.
Information aboutTwo Worlds II
SP/MP: Single + MP
Setting: Fantasy
Genre: Action-RPG
Platform: PC, Xbox 360, PS3

Milwaukee Five-O
The number 5 and the number 0 are significant in two separate ways after the Brewers 3-2 "walk off" win against the Rockies Friday night at Miller Park.
The Brewers are now 5- 0 against Colorado this season, and when the 5 and the 0 are put together to form 50, it's the number of wins the Crew has on the season so far. At 50 and 32 the "Milwaukee Nine" are the first team to reach the half century mark this season.
The Brewers drew first blood in the bottom of 6th when Rickie Weeks scored on a single by the hottest hitting catcher in baseball, Jonathan Lucroy. After the Rockies tied it up in their half of the seventh, the Brewers went back on top when, with the bases loaded Ryan Braun was drilled in the back by Rockies reliever Rex Brothers, scoring Mark Reynolds from third.
Colorado managed to tie the game in the ninth when Josh Rutledge went "yard" on Brewers closer Francisco Rodriguez. Reynolds then led off the home half of the ninth with a single, was sacrificed to second on a bunt by Jean Segura. Manager Ron Roenicke then sent up Scooter Gennett who has homered in his last two games and is leading the N.L. second basemen in batting ave (.311) and slugging percentage (.487)...needless to say he was walked intentionally. Weeks struck out, but during the at bat both runners moved up a base on a passed ball. Then with two outs and the winning run just 90 feet away, the struggling Ryan Braun stepped to the plate and promptly slapped a single to center for the "walk off" win.
Here's Braun on being the first team this season to 50 wins.

If you're inclined, as I initially was, to think perhaps this is much ado about not a lot, you might want to click through to read the actual text of the messages. While that discussion of general world developments does refer, at least, to Israel, doesn't this sound rather more like a campaign speech than a holiday greeting?
... never actually mentioned 'Jews' or 'Judaism' even once, referred to 'Jewish tradition' only once, and said nothing about the Jewish contribution to American life or anything else. (This is in stark contrast to President Obama's August 2010 Ramadan Message, in which he referred to 'Muslims' six times and to 'Islam' twice, stated that "American Muslims have made extraordinary contributions to our country," and praised "Islam's role in advancing justice, progress, tolerance, and the dignity of all human beings ... a faith known for great diversity and racial equality").
Instead, in his Rosh Hashanah Message, President Obama discussed chiefly general world developments.
That is why my Administration is doing everything we can to promote prosperity here at home and security and peace throughout the world - and that includes reaffirming our commitment to the State of Israel. While we cannot know all that the New Year will bring, we do know this: the United States will continue to stand with Israel, because the bond between our two nations is unshakable.Such stumping about what his "Administration is doing" is curiously absent from the Ramadan remarks. And as the ZOA piece points out, while Obama addresses those remarks "to Muslims in America and around the world," his Rosh Hashana message is directed to "everybody" and, at the end, to "all who celebrate Rosh Hashanah." Who might that be?
A comparison with this year's Ramadan message raises questions as well, such as why he felt it appropriate there to recall
... [t]he heartbreaking accounts of lost lives and the images of families and children in Somalia and the Horn of Africa struggling to survive ...but not to mention in his Rosh Hashana address the victims of terrorism in Israel this past year who were targeted purely because they were (or were presumed to be) Jews. The Fogel family comes to mind, as well as those dozens killed or wounded in the August terrorist attack near Eilat. And all of those living within rocket range of Gaza.
Our president has a very odd sense of balance when it comes to addressing the different faith communities in America. No doubt this is due to his belief that, if not for his constant reminders, we might forget that "Islam has always been part of America" whereas our Judeo-Christian heritage can be taken for granted.

Spider-Man (2002 film)
From Wikiquote
(Redirected from Spider-Man (film))
Spider-Man is a 2002 film based on the eponymous Marvel comic. It stars Tobey Maguire and Willem Dafoe and explains the story of Peter Parker's struggle to balance between his normal life and his life as Spider Man. This movie is released theaters May 3, 2002 in United States.
- Written by David Koepp. Directed by Sam Raimi.
Spider-Man/Peter Parker[edit]
- (first words of the movie) Who am I? You sure you wanna know? The story of my life is not for the faint of heart.
- (after Norman suggests they be like father and son) I have a father. His name was Ben Parker.
- (letting robber get away) I missed the part where that's my problem.
- (confronting the carjacker who killed his Uncle Ben) What about my uncle? Did you give him a chance? Did you? ANSWER ME!
- (Spider-Man saves Mary-Jane at the World Unity Festival) Well, beats taking the subway. Don't mind us. She needs to use the elevator.
- (while fighting Bonesaw McGraw) Staying away from you. That's a cute outfit. Did your husband give it to you?
- (last words of the movie) Whatever life holds in store for me, I will never forget these words: "With great power comes great responsibility." This is my gift, my curse. Who am I? I'm Spider-Man.
Green Goblin/Norman Osborn[edit]
- Sorry I'm late. Work was murder.
- I know this has been a difficult time for you, but I want you to try to enjoy this day. Commencement: the end of one thing, the start of something new.
- Back to formula?!?
- [last words] Peter? Don't tell Harry.
- [after blocking Spiderman's Punch] Impressive!
- [Spraying Spiderman with Knockout Gas] Sleeeeeep!
- Misery, misery, misery, that's what you chosen. I offered you friendship, and you spat in my face.
- We'll meet again, Spiderman!
- Follow the cold shiver running down your spine.
- Can Spiderman come out to play?
- [singing] The itsy-bitsy spider went up the water spout. Down came the Goblin and took the spider out!
- Spiderman! This is why only fools are heroes - because you never know when some lunatic will come along with a sadistic choice!
- [to his son Harry, about Mary Jane] Harry, please. Look at her. You think a woman like that's sniffing around because she likes your personality? Your mother was beautiful too, they're all beautiful - until they're snarling after your trust fund like a pack of ravening wolves!
- A word to the not-so-wise about your little girlfriend: do what you need to with her, then broom her fast!
- You've spun your last web, Spiderman. Had you not been so selfish, your little girlfriend's death would have been quick and painless, but now that you've really pissed me off, I'm gonna finish her nice and slow. M.J. and I, we're gonna have a hell of a time!
- Forty thousand years of evolution and we've barely even tapped the vastness of human potential.
- I am going to rectify certain inequities.
- Godspeed, Spiderman.
- The one thing they love more than a hero is to see a hero fail, fall, die trying. In spite of everything you've done for them, eventually, they will hate you.
- Harry tells me you're quite the science whiz. You know, I'm something of a scientist myself.
J. Jonah Jameson[edit]
- If we can get a picture of Julia Roberts in a thong, we can certainly get a picture of this weirdo! Put it up on the front page: "Cash Money For a Picture of Spider-Man!" He doesn't wanna be famous? Then I'll make him infamous!
- No jobs! Freelance! Best thing in the world for somebody your age. You bring me some more pictures of that newspaper-selling clown, maybe I'll take 'em off your hands. But I never said you have a job! Meat. I'll send you a nice box of Christmas meat, it's the best I can do. Get out of here. Bring me more photos.
- They're crap. Crap, crap, mega crap. I'll give you $200 for all of 'em.
- "Who is Spider-Man?" He's a criminal, that's who he is! A vigilante! A public menace! What's he doing on MY front page?
Mary Jane Watson[edit]
- He's saved my life twice and I've never even seen his face.
- Do I get to say thank you this time?
- I better run, tiger.
- They said I needed acting lessons. A soap opera told me.
Other characters[edit]
- Bonesaw McGraw: Bonesaw is READY!
- Bonesaw McGraw: Hey, freak show! You're going nowhere! I got you for three minutes! Three minutes of PLAYTIME.
- Peter: Who am I? You sure you want to know? The story of my life is not for the faint of heart. If somebody said it was a happy little tale...if somebody told you I was just an average ordinary guy, not a care in the world...somebody lied. But let me assure you, this like any story worth telling... is all about a girl. That girl. The girl next door. Mary Jane Watson. The woman I've loved since before I even liked girls. [Referring to Flash Thompson sitting next to her] I'd like to say that's me sitting next to her. [Referring to fat kid in front of them messily eating a jelly doughnut] Heck, I'd even take him. [As we see a nerdy Peter running along the bus, asking to stop] That's me.
- Harry Osborn: [To driver in Rolls Royce] Uh, hey, could you drive us around the corner, please?
- Norman Osborn: [Sitting next to Harry] Why? The entrance is right there.
- Harry Osborn: Dad, these are public school kids. I'm not showing up for a field trip in a Rolls.
- Norman Osborn: What, so you want me to just trade in my car for a Jetta just because you flunked out of every private school I ever sent you to?
- Harry Osborn: It wasn't for me.
- Norman Osborn: Of course it was. Don't ever be ashamed of who you are.
- Harry Osborn: I'm not ashamed of who I am. It's just...
- Norman Osborn: Just what, Harry?
- Harry Osborn: Forget it.
- Uncle Ben: Hey, listen Pete, we need to talk.
- Peter Parker: We can talk later.
- Uncle Ben: We can talk now...if you'll let me.
- Peter Parker: Well, what's so important? Why do we need to talk now?
- Uncle Ben: Because we haven't talked for so long, your Aunt May and I don't even know who you are anymore; you've shirked your chores, you have all those weird experiments in your room, you start fights at school...
- Peter Parker: I didn't start that fight, I told you that.
- Uncle Ben: Well you sure as hell finished it.
- Peter Parker: What was I supposed to do, run away?
- Uncle Ben: No, you're not supposed to run away, but...Pete look, you're changing. I know, I went through exactly the same thing at your age.
- Peter Parker: No. Not exactly.
- Uncle Ben: Peter... these are the years when a man changes into the man he's going to be for the rest of his life. Just be careful who you change into. This guy, Flash Thompson, he probably deserved what happened. But just because you can beat him up, doesn't give you the right to. Remember, with great power...comes great responsibility.
- Peter Parker: Are you afraid that I'm gonna turn into some kind of criminal? Quit worrying about me, okay?! Something's different. I'll figure it out. Quit lecturing me, please!
- Uncle Ben: I don't mean to lecture, and I don't mean to preach. And I know I'm not your father-
- Peter Parker: Then stop pretending to be!
- Ring Announcer: Will the next victim please enter the arena at this time? If he can withstand just 3 minutes in the cage with Bonesaw McGraw, the sum of $3,000 will be paid to-- What's your name, kid?
- Peter Parker: The Human Spider.
- Ring Announcer: "The Human Spider?" That's it? That's the best you got?
- Peter Parker: Yeah!
- Ring Announcer: Oh, that sucks!
- Fight Promoter: [after he gives Peter Parker only $100 instead of $3,000.] Now get outta here.
- Peter Parker: $100? The ad said "$3,000."
- Fight Promoter: Check it again, web-head. It said "three grand for three minutes." And you pinned him in two. For that, I give you a hundred. And you're lucky to get that.
- Peter Parker: [angered] I need that money!
- Fight Promoter: I missed the part where that's my problem!
- Fight Promoter: (After getting robbed and Peter let the guy get away) You could've taken that guy apart! Now he's gonna get away with my money!
- Peter Parker: I missed the part where that's my problem.
- Peter Parker: I miss him a lot today.
- May Parker: I know. I miss him to. But...he was there.
- Peter Parker: I can't help thinking about...the last thing I said to him. He tried to tell me something important, and I threw it in his face.
- May Parker: You loved him. And he loved you. He never doubted the man you'd grow into; how you were meant for great things. You won't disappoint him.
- Mary Jane: You're amazing.
- Spider-Man: Some people don't think so...
- Mary Jane: But you are.
- Spider-Man: Nice to have a fan...
- Mary Jane: Has he mentioned me?
- Peter Parker: Yeah.
- Mary Jane: What'd he say?
- Peter Parker: Uh... I said... he asked me what I thought about you.
- Mary Jane: And what did you say?
- Peter Parker: I said... uh... Spider-Man, I said uh... The great thing about MJ is... when you look in her eyes and she's looking back in yours... everything... feels... not quite normal. Because you feel stronger and weaker at the same time. You feel excited and at the same time, terrified. The truth is... you don't know what you feel except you know what kind of man you want to be. It's as if you've reached the unreachable and you weren't ready for it."
- Mary Jane: You said that?
- Peter Parker: Well, something like that.
- Peter Parker: Can I do anything for you?
- Aunt May: You do too much - college, a job, all this time with me... You're not Superman, you know.
- Green Goblin: Spider-Man is all but invincible; but Parker, we can destroy him.
- Norman Osborn: I can't.
- Green Goblin: Betrayal must not be countenanced! Parker must be educated.
- Norman Osborn: What do I do?
- Green Goblin: Instruct him in the matters of loss and pain. Make him suffer, make him wish he were dead.
- Norman Osborn: Yes?
- Green Goblin: And then grant his wish.
- Norman Osborn: But how?
- Green Goblin: The cunning warrior attacks neither body nor mind.
- Norman Osborn: TELL ME HOW!
- Green Goblin: The HEART, Osborn. First, we attack his heart.
- (A bunch of commuters throw things at the Goblin to save Spider-Man, Mary Jane and a tram full of kids)
- Commuter 1: Come on up here, tough guy! I got a little somethin' for ya!
- Woman: We're gonna kick your frickin' ass!
- Commuter 1: Leave Spider-Man alone! You're gonna pick on a guy trying to save a bunch of kids?!
- Commuter 2: Oh, yeah, I got something for your ass! You mess with Spidey, you mess with New York!
- Commuter 3: You mess with one of us, you mess with all of us!
- [Spider-Man regains conscious after being knocked out by the Green Goblin]
- Green Goblin: Wake up, little spider, wake up. No, you're not dead..yet, just paralyzed... temporarily. You're an amazing creature, Spider-Man. You and I are not so different.
- Spider-Man: [Weakly] I'm not like you. You're a murderer.
- Green Goblin: Well. To each his own. I chose my path, you chose the way of the hero. And they found you amusing for a while, the people of this city. But the one thing they love more then a hero...is to see a hero fail, fall, die trying. In spite of everything you've done for them, eventually, they will hate you. Why bother?
- Spider-Man: Because, it's right.
- Green Goblin: Here's the real truth. There are eight million people in this city, and those teeming masses exist for the sole purpose, of lifting the few exceptional people onto their shoulders. You and me - we're exceptional. I could squash you like a bug right now, but I'm offering you a choice: join me. Imagine what we could accomplish together, what we could create...or we could destroy, cause the deaths of countless innocents in selfish battle, again and again and again until we're both dead! Is that what you want? [jumps onto his glider] Think about it, hero!
- Aunt May: Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us...
[the Green Goblin bursts through the window, laughing maniacally]
- Aunt May: [screams] DELIVER US--
- Green Goblin: Finish it. FINISH IT!
- Aunt May: FROM EVIL!

2010 AAC Arterial Spot Rehabilitation Project – 16th Avenue SW
Project Overview
As part of its 2010 Arterial Asphalt and Concrete (AAC) Program, the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) is planning to repave a section of 16th Avenue SW in the West Seattle neighborhood near the South Seattle Community College during the summer and fall of 2010. The project location is 16th Avenue SW from SW Brandon Street to SW Dawson Street.
SDOT will be extending work began last year, further improving 16th Avenue SW. In 2009, the roadway was reconstructed and widened between SW Findlay and SW Brandon streets.
The 2010 work is planned for this summer between mid-July and mid-September when fewer students attend the South Seattle Community College and traffic volumes are lower.
The paving project is funded by the "Bridging the Gap" transportation levy approved by Seattle voters in November 2006.

Music, fashion and art collide for The Craft, an interactive night featuring Bianca Mikahn
Art gets intimate tomorrow night at The Savoy with the inaugural edition of The Craft, a semi-monthly gathering of artists, live music and local fashion houses. MC, activist and spoken-word champion Bianca Mikahn will be at the center of the action, sitting down for a live interview that will be followed by her interactive tribute to Marina Abramović's "The Artist is Present."
See also: Q&A: Meet Bianca Mikahn of Paradox
"It's going to be an interactive lyricism display -- taking some traditional methods we're used to in hip-hop and putting some different elements into it," says Mikahn of her live performance. And why did she want to work off the now famous Abramović piece?
"I really wanted to directly interact with audience members as well as other artists being who they are in this performance space along with me," says Mikahn. "I love how she draws the unexpected from the audience -- I love how her work is effective so viscerally. That's the thing that got me -- you could see her train of thought, from who she is to why she's doing this particular piece. I just identify with her so much, as she addresses so many themes that I also feel as being a woman in hip-hop. The idea that beauty is pain and there's an artist's responsibility in these things. It's a physical display, as opposed to music or painting. It's just a way of being for these moments that affect people so deeply."

Is there any way that for the next beta release the kernel could be
compiled with IPv6 and 6to4(gif) support? And maybe add the
appropriate IPv6 utilities as well? (ping6, traceroute6, rtadvd...)
I'm not asking for full IPv6 support in the next beta, as that is a
bit out of the question. All I'm asking for is that everything
necessary for IPv6 and 6to4 be in the image. This way, I can manually
setup IPv6 with a shell script in the configuration. This would help
me out a great deal.
Is this possible?

Drake Aaliyah Tattoo: Rapper Inks Singer's Face on His Back
Drake and tattoos have been the topic of conversation lately, only this time, instead of a random woman inking his name on her forehead, it's the Young Money MC who's gone under the gun to get some ink of a famous face.
The 25-year-old Toronto native was snapped without his shirt on during a game of tennis recently and in the photo, an image of deceased R&B singer Aaliyah appears on his back.
Drizzy posted the photo on his Instagram account — a photo app available to iPhone users; the photo can be viewed here — Sunday (Dec. 25), however, there's no word on when the 'Headlines' rhymer received the tattoo. Aaliyah's face is inked on his back with an image that seems to be of a dove flying above her head.
Fans of Drake know the rapper is a true fan of the fallen songstress, whose life was cut short on Aug. 25, 2001, when a plane she was in crashed while flying over the Bahamas.
On his debut LP, 'Thank Me Later,' the track 'Unforgettable' samples Aaliyah's 1994 song 'At Your Best (You Are Love),' off her first album, 'Age Ain't Nothing But a Number.' Last year, he wrote an open letter to the lauded chanteuse, where he admitted he was "truly in love" with her for her style of dress and the confidence she showcased in her music.

Police investigating the death of Croydon man Michael Polding are offering £5,000 to trace his friend.
Detective Chief Inspector Nick May appeared on Crimewatch, four months after Mr Polding's death.
He is offering the reward for the arrest of Ricardo Pisano, who is also known as Brandon Victor Pillay and uses the nicknames "Ree" or "Ricky".
Mr Pisano who has a south African accent, is believed to be in his thirties and has links to Croydon, Crouch End, Southampton and New Zealand.
Mr Polding, who was 62 and openly gay, moved from Croydon to St George's Road in the Kemp Town area of Brighton nine months ago.
His body was discovered at his flat on July 16, but it is thought he may have been dead since May.
DCI May said: "It is now four months since Michael died and his family are anxious for answers about what happened to him.
"We are still unclear as to when exactly Michael died and our enquiries have shown he was friends with Mr Pisano.
"We think he may have information about Michael's last movements, however we have been unable to find him so far.
"We want to help provide the answers for Michael's family and hope the reward will prompt someone to reveal Mr Pisano's whereabouts.
"All we need to know is where he is so we can talk to him about what he knows."
Anyone who recognises Mr Pisano and knows where he may be should contact Sussex Police on 101 quoting Operation Journal, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Using an incentive spirometer
An incentive spirometer is a device used to help you keep your lungs healthy while they are healing.The incentive spirometer teaches you how to take slow deep breaths.
After surgery, it may be too painful to take deep breaths. You may also feel too weak to take deep breaths. When you do not breathe deeply enough, this can lead to sick lungs.
By using the incentive spirometer every 1 - 2 hours, or as directed by your nurse or doctor, you can take an active role in your recovery and keep your lungs healthy.
How to Use an Incentive Spirometer
Sit up and hold the incentive spirometer upright.
- Place the mouthpiece of the incentive spirometer into your mouth.Make sure you make a good seal with your lips.
- Breathe out (exhale) normally.
- Breathe in SLOWLY (Inhale slowly).
A piece in the incentive spirometer will rise as you take a breath in.
- Try to get this piece to rise as high as you can.
- Usually, there is a marker placed by your health care provider that tells you how big of a breath you should take.
Another, smaller piece in the incentive spirometer looks like a ball or disc.
- Make sure this ball stays in the middle of the chamber while you breathe in.
- If you breathe in too fast, the ball will shoot to the top.
- If you breathe in too slowly, the ball with stay at the bottom.
Hold your breath for a few (3 - 5) seconds, then slowly release your breath and exhale.
Repeat 10 - 15 breaths every 1 - 2 hours or as instructed by your nurse or doctor.
Other Tips
- You may need to hold a pillow tightly to your belly while breathing in. This will help ease any discomfort.
- You may not be achieving the number marked for you, but don't get discouraged. This will improve with practice and as your body heals.
- If you start to get dizzy or light-headed, slow down and take some normal breaths in between using the incentive spirometer.

I was recently asked to check out the iQ cleaning products line on my blog, and agreed because I had never heard of the product line and was intrigued by the concept. Also, with young kids, I've become so much more aware of the importance of using safer products, especially those involving cleaning.
I was sent the iQ Bathroom Cleaner, the All-Purpose Cleaner and the Glass Cleaner to try (the company also makes a Floor Cleaner). Right away, the difference between these products becomes clear. What arrived were three empty spray bottles and three refill cartridges. The products require you to fill the bottle to the fill line with regular tap water, insert a refill cartridge, then insert the sprayer (which releases the concentrate into the water) and a gentle shake. With that, you have a bottle of cleaner – it's quite genius actually. It's a very simple three step assembly that allows you to reuse the bottle, and simply replace the cartridge when the cleaner runs out.
So besides the obvious environmental advantages to this product (which creates a smaller carbon footprint), it is also non-toxic, and never tested on animals. Using ingredients such as corn and/or coconut derived surfactants, baking soda, sugar based acid, and water, the iQ line is very unique.
But do these products clean what they are supposed to? Yes, they do. I tried them on my kitchen counters, bathroom counters, walls and the windows, and they worked very well. I really liked that they don't have a strong scent/odor at all – that is something that really bothers me about products I have used regularly in the past. Personally, my favorite product was the Glass Cleaner – it is fantastic, and true to its word, absolutely streak free. I used very little product on my mirrors and windows and got fantastic results. Love.
I also really like the appearance of the product (yes that matters to me) and I like the idea of being able to downsize from tons and tons of bottles of cleaning products, to three or four. The products are also very affordable and retail for $5.47 (for the bottle and cartridge) and $2.50 (for replacement cartridges).
I'm giving away a prize pack that will include all three of the products I received plus a year's supply of the refill cartridges for each (a $50 value).
How to Enter
Mandatory Entry:
Leave a comment below telling me how you feel about conventional cleaners and how important "green cleaning" is to you.
Optional Additional Entries (Please leave a separate comment for each below):
- Like iQ on Facebook and leave a comment saying you did

EPA, DOE Look to Strengthen Energy Star Brand
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy today outlined a series of steps to further strengthen the Energy Star program and boost confidence in the Energy Star brand. The action covers products across the board and is not specifically targeted at windows, doors and skylights in the program.
Officials note that in addition to third-party testing already underway, EPA and DOE have launched a new two-step process to expand testing of Energy Star-qualified products. This week, DOE began testing of some of the most commonly used appliances, said to account for more than 25 percent of a household's energy bill. As part of an overall effort by the Obama Administration to improve the energy efficiency of homes and appliances to save families money, both agencies are now developing a system to test all products that earn the Energy Star label.
Speaking earlier this week at the WDMA spring meeting, the EPA's Douglas Anderson, who is now responsible for the Energy Star windows, doors and skylights program, indicated that the government would be announcing stepped-up testing and enforcement requirements for Energy Star products. He noted, however, that the government views the rating, testing and certifying processes used by the National Fenestration Rating Council as fairly rigorous.
In addition expanded testing, the EPA and DOE announcement noted enhanced enforcement efforts in recent months to ensure compliance with both Energy Star and DOE's appliance efficiency standards, including taking action against 35 manufacturers in the past four months.
The initiative can be traced in part to recent media reports questioning the Energy Star program. Violations of the Energy Star label tend to get big media attention, which is good—because it provides a strong disincentive for companies to skirt the system and risk a wave of negative coverage about their product, government officials note. At the same time, consumers should be aware that in the past few years, the number of violations has been quite small, especially given that more than 40,000 individual products carry the Energy Star label.
Last year, the EPA's independent Inspector General conducted a "spot check" of the program, testing 60 Energy Star products. Fifty-nine of the 60 products met or exceeded the Energy Star requirements, it is noted.
