Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 22/8/2014 (1096 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
She had come alone in the rain to share her story about the drowning of Faron Hall, a story she felt those who loved him should know.
But she couldn't do it.
Not then.
Instead, the white-skinned, blonde-haired, 53-year-old woman stood quietly with his grieving family, his street friends and others who, when the heavens opened so thunderously Thursday evening, had gathered under the Provencher Bridge, where the homeless sometimes seek shelter from the elements.
It was there, in that fitting concrete-covered, cathedral-like setting at the river's edge, that the blonde woman silently joined all those dark-haired people she didn't know. She listened as they took turns speaking about Hall. The homeless man the nation got to know five years ago through news, after he swam to save a young man who had fallen from the same bridge, then four months later risked his life again to save a female friend from drowning in the same waters. Yet, he never forgave himself for not rescuing the man who was in the river with her.
And then last week, on a hot summer Friday, it was Hall who was spotted in distress in the river. First by an off-duty police officer, and later by the blonde woman and others aboard a passing water taxi. That was the story she had come to share with the family.
But instead -- concerned about intruding, and weeping uncontrollably -- she simply listened.
She listened as a woman recalled how, when she met Hall for the first time, and he learned she was walking to the food bank, he gave her his last two bus tickets. The blonde woman listened as someone else remembered how, when Peak of the Market hired him and Hall had money for an apartment, he would invite his homeless friends to stay with him.
"He never forgot where he came from," was the message.
And the blonde woman listened to the big voice of Kevin Hart, the chairman of Thunderbird House, who had a message of his own. It was Hart who was recently pictured trying to speak with Gord Steeves as the mayoral candidate left a news conference where he stood by his wife for her "drunken native guys" Facebook rant about aboriginal panhandlers downtown.
"Each and every day," Hart said Thursday, preaching under the bridge to the converted, "we are reminded of our brothers and sisters who are on the street. Each and every day we see the people who are hungry, homeless. We see each and every day the social problems that face Winnipeg. But you know what? Each and every day people keep passing by and they turn a blind eye to that. They just see it as an eyesore for the city... they don't see the humans, and the human element."
When speeches were over, and the feast in Hall's honour was just starting, his uncle Raymond Hall shared a private story that the blonde woman didn't hear. About how Hall had been at his father's funeral just the week before he drowned, and how it affected him.
"He was taking it very hard. Very. I guess he couldn't handle no more losses, eh?"
I took that to mean he and others in the family suspect Hall didn't want to live anymore when he waded into the river.
"Yeah," Raymond said.
The blonde woman had almost reached the parking lot when Raymond and I finished talking. She had left the gathering without sharing her story about seeing the man in the water. But she needed to tell someone before she left. So now she was standing away from people still gathered under the bridge, sharing the story with an aboriginal woman she happened to meet as she was leaving, still weeping inconsolably.
In her emotional state, she began at the end instead of the beginning.
"When Faron went under," she said, "when he took his last breath, that's when the other fellow started having the heart attack."
The "other fellow" was the water-taxi's 65-year-old captain, Al Smith, who had tried to battle the current to reach the man in the water.
"And I'm a nurse," she said, still sobbing, "I did CPR."
She meant on the captain, who didn't have a pulse when she started, but whose life she helped save with the aid of another woman on the boat.
But before that, the blonde woman had tried to use a hooked stick, that was too short to reach Hall, to desperately throw him a life-jacket or even a paddle. Something, anything he could grab on to. But he was too weak and they couldn't get close enough.
"We did everything we could for Faron," she said, still sobbing.
That's what she wanted the family to know. That's what she had come to share.
"I just wanted someone who knew him to know that we tried really hard."
She also wanted them to know his last words before the river took him away.
"Help me."
I want the family, and you, to know something else. The blonde woman, and the others on the boat, recognized the man in the water was aboriginal, but not that he was the famous Homeless Hero.
All they saw was what mattered. That he was the human being, a human being struggling to live.

DETROIT - A Detroit mother who is accused of leaving her two young children home alone was formally charged Tuesday with two counts of misdemeanor child abuse.
Police said Deedra Pitts left her 10-year-old son and 10-month alone on April 4 in her home on Pinehurst Street.
Police found the two during the early morning hours when the boy ran to a neighbor's home for help after realizing the home had been broken into and his mother was missing.
Police arrived and found the little boy holding onto his sister. The children's mother was nowhere to be found and police say they had a hard trying to find her.
When they did, the 31-year-old mother was arrested and charged with child abuse.
Pitts, who has no prior criminal history, is not allowed to see her kids while the case against her proceeds
Pitts is free on bond Wednesday after a brief arraignment, where she was also ordered to pay $500 in parking tickets by Friday.
The children are in the care of their two different fathers, who are now in the process of trying to gain custody of the children.
A custody hearing is under way for the family.
Pitts' family has said she made a poor choice but is not a neglectful mother.

Navy Blue Galaxy Note shows up on T-Mobile inventory sheet
0. phoneArena posted on 13 Jun 2012, 18:20
As we told you the other day, based on a device that took a swing through the FCC, we're pretty sure a variant of the Galaxy Note will be available on T-Mobile relatively soon...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

Way to grab that at the height of it's popularity. Screw TMobile with their "value plans".
3. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
As a T-mobile customer with 4 others added on my plan, because we owned our phones outright we don't pay the added subsidy, so I'm paying about $220 for 5 smartphones, all with insurance, whereas I'd be paying between $260-300 for roughly equivalent plans from any of the other major carriers, and this is with unlimited (albiet throttled) everything.
6. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10457; Member since: 14 May 2012)
I'm paying around $140 a month unlimited everything and insurance.
T-Mobile is the cheapest of them all.
12. ApphoIe (banned) (Posts: 78; Member since: 31 May 2012)
That may be, but I work for Target Mobile and I cannot tell you how many people a week leave my kiosk PISSED OFF becausse the asshooles at tmobile did not explain to them the specifics of the value plan and that they will never be eligible for upgrades and can only finance a phone. Freaking ridiculous, and I get so sick of putting out their fires. Although I do recognize that a vast majority of those people are functionally retarded, so I am open to the possibility that tmobile DID explain it and the customer just didn't listen.
2. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
Hope it has more goodies than the AT&T version, in terms of hardware and maybe some styling cues from the GS3, otherwise it'll be a flop while its little sibling sells like hotcakes
4. JGuinan007 (Posts: 692; Member since: 19 May 2011)
Will it ship with 2.3.6 or 4.0.4?
5. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10457; Member since: 14 May 2012)
This or GSIII? This is going to be a hard decision....
And 4.0.4 would be nice. Just saying.
7. tlsmithsr (Posts: 81; Member since: 28 Sep 2010)
I was going to post the same thing.. GS3 or the Note.. I think i'm going to go with the GS3 considering the Note 2 is due out in the fall.. But then again it's something about that 5.3 inch screen (no homo)
8. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10457; Member since: 14 May 2012)
My thoughts EXACTLY.
9. jove39 (Posts: 1976; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
GS3 anyday...unless they launch note with quad-core exynos.

All this is well and good, but we hoped that they would have a better screen, Full HD, like on the new LG screen, full 1920 x 1080P in an OLED, but NOT Pentile. And, completely water-proof and drop-proof, as well.
We would also like to see them make their screen truly superambiphobic (that is: VERY water (hydrophobic) and oil (oleophobic) repellant, to cut down on smudges and fingerprints).
A superambiphobic screen is able to keep itself completely clean of smudges, smears, water spots, oil stains, fingerprints, etc. Let's get it on, Samsung! Recently I saw a friend's phone after he signed in with gestures. From several feet away I could see the pattern he used smeared on the screen, even after several minutes of use. That is NOT secure, we NEED better glass, superambiphobic glass, to be exact.
It should also try to make itself a bit more future-proof. 2GB of RAM and 32GB Internal storage these days is an absolute MINIMUM! We'd actually like to see 4 and 64, or more, standard, by the end of the year.
For expanded storage it should have a microSD card slot able to handle at least 64GB, and a micro-USB3 port for external access and drives.
The latest iteration of Bluetooth goes without saying, but so many aren't paying attention, so I'll say it. And for goodness sake, update and simplify pairing. Gracious what a mess everything seems to be, needlessly.
Further, it should have Dolby Mobile 3 with support for 5.1 sound via HDMI out.
Then, make sure it can play full HD for at least 10 or 11 hours, minimum.
Further, the stylus should have a finer point, and the stylus INSIDE a full PEN-sized adapter should fit inside the case of the unit. The current stylus is just too small to handle well, and the point is too broad for fine work.
Don't forget Android 4.1 should be loaded out of the box, with NO bloatware.
Then, bring it to all carriers, as you did with the S III.
Then, of course, you can make it a Nexus device, to avoid bloatware and speed up updates.
NOW you are getting somewhere. Perhaps with the Note 2.

The American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU) is
launching its Red Balloon Project. It is focused on helping member
institutions re-imagine undergraduate education.View the video below of AASCU VP George Mehaffy
describing the Red Balloon Project.(Note: You need to have an updated Adobe Flash player in your machine to view the videos. Download Flash Player)
View video of Introduction to the Red Balloon Project on larger screen.
The Red Balloon Project is a national initiative to re-imagine and
then to redesign undergraduate education for the 21st century. Public
colleges and universities are facing a complex set of challenges:
transformational changes in technology, reductions in funding, shifting student
demographics, growth of the private sector in higher education, demands
for greater accountability, and more. The Red Balloon Project will help
institutions restructure to respond to the rapidly changing circumstances of the new century.
Created by the American Association of State Colleges and
Universities (AASCU) and its member colleges and universities, the
project is creating a national dialogue, a repository of resources, and a
collection of demonstration project to foster
innovation among public colleges and universities.
The initiative is named the Red Balloon Project in honor of the
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), which sponsored a
contest to find 10 red weather balloons randomly placed throughout the
United States. The purpose of the contest was
to explore the way that the Internet can use social networking
tools to achieve an outcome. The contest winner, a team from MIT, found
all 10 balloons in 8 hours and 52 minutes. For more information about
the contest and its outcome, visit this website.
The Red Balloon contest serves as a metaphor for the
newly-networked world. This new way of generating, aggregating and
disseminating information has profound implications for higher
education. It challenges long-held practices of teaching and
learning, institutional organization and structure, and the very
notion of expertise. The Red Balloon contest also serves as an analogy
for how a community of higher education institutions and their national
association can work together to promote and support change in
higher education.
The goal of the Red Balloon Project is to collaboratively create models of undergraduate education that:

The contemporary retail environment revolves largely around choice—a reality especially evident in the bath and body category. As markets become more segmented, consumers are coming to expect products made for their specific needs. To grow sales and market share, brand owners are looking to new tactics and strategies both online and in store.
Recent years have seen bath and body products introduced to the market with additional benefits intended to add value while making them stand out for the consumer. "We are seeing higher level benefits being introduced in the bath and body category—radiance, toning, cellulite reduction and antiaging benefits—when the category used to primarily provide cleansing, some moisturization and a fragrant experience," said Liz Grubow, vice president, group creative director, LPK Beauty.
Adding such a variety of new benefits to an already crowded retail shelf makes standing out all the more difficult. "The category is growing by leaps and bounds, which is causing confusion at the shelf. Clear definition of benefits, coupled with a robust and meaningful architecture strategy, will greatly benefit the category," said Grubow. This includes clear and consistent branding to ensure product recognition.
Crowded shelves may also work to a brand's advantage. "Online, it is difficult to shop a line of products to find which one is right for you. Being able to see that array of product offerings and benefits in comparison helps the consumer decide what is right for her," said Grubow. Examining packaging to uncover intriguing ingredients—or even the mood of the moment—can trigger a purchase decision.
As with all beauty products, natural and exotic ingredients are the wave of the future. Even bath and body products are not immune to this trend. According to Datamonitor, consumers associate "natural" with wellness. "Unique and exotic ingredients that used to be found primarily in spa and super premium product lines are now being introduced at mass," said Grubow. However, sales of body washes are being driven by a focus on seasonal needs and new product launches. As a result, Datamonitor expects this segment to be worth $9.4 billion by 2010, but with a growth rate that is expected to fall slightly in the next five years. "Bath and body can learn from the hair care category how to drive regimen and elevate body care needs and experience," acknowledged Grubow.

Hi guys.
I have a simple program with 2 modules, so I did an .msi file using the setup.py.
But I have 2 questions:
Can I create a shortcut on desktop or start menu after the installation? I see that its may be possible on python doc, but I didn't understand
And, is there a way to run this application in a machine without a already installed python? Like, import all I need on the package.
Thank you.

Texting and Walking Leads to Lawsuit
On Saturday we posted the video of a girl texting and falling. This video popped up all over the internet which to date has been viewed over 2 million times in total. This story has escalated to a lawsuit – go figure.
This morning, Cathy Cruz Marrero (the woman who falls in the above video), told her side of the story and the emotional pain she was enduring. (whatever) The Early Show had Ms. Marrero as a guest and weighed in on the story. She wasn't hurt, "at least not physically," remarked "Early Show" co-anchor Chris Wragge.
But Cruz Marrero says what does hurt is "the humiliation (from the video having been put online).
The humiliation. Ask my husband: I cried for days. You don't know how many people are laughing at me." Have to admit I was one of them.
Texting while walking, Cruz says, is "dangerous. I could have been walking into a bus, a car, a ditch, anything. Texting and walking, take it from me, is dangerous. It really is."
Maybe she should have used this iPhone application? Of course we all talked about this story today, here at work. My biggest concern would have NOT been who saw, but if my phone had gotten wet.

Conservative author Anderson cited highly flawed AEI study to support claim of liberal media bias
Research ››› ››› RAPHAEL SCHWEBER-KOREN & PAUL WALDMAN
Conservative author Brian C. Anderson cited a misleading study by the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) to support his assertions of liberal bias in the media. Anderson claimed that the study was "a good one" from "a pretty thick chapter on examples of liberal bias going back for years and years" from his new book South Park Conservatives: The Revolt Against Liberal Media Bias (Regnery, April 2005) during his April 18 appearance on Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor. In fact, the paper, "Is Newspaper Coverage of Economic Events Politically Biased?" by John R. Lott Jr. and Kevin A. Hassett, employs questionable social science methodology and draws exaggerated conclusions from its underlying data.
AEI study on media bias flawed
Lott and Hassett's paper has yet to appear in any peer-reviewed academic journal and is unlikely ever to do so. Neither author of the AEI study apparently has a background in communication studies, and they are woefully ignorant of the status of academic research in this area. The authors state that "[s]ystematic statistical studies of media coverage are much rarer," then discuss "five studies that do exist." In fact, peer-reviewed journals have published literally hundreds of systematic studies published that bear in some way on the question of media bias; a meta-analysis in the Journal of Communication in 2000 analyzed 59 of those most directly addressing the question and concluded, "On the whole, no significant biases were found for the newspaper industry. Biases in newsmagazines were virtually zero as well. Meta-analysis of studies of television network news showed small, measurable, but probably insubstantial coverage and statement biases."
Like much of Lott's research, the AEI paper supports a controversial thesis using multiple and progressively more esoteric statistical techniques, rendering the argument difficult for anyone without advanced statistical training (and many who do have such training) to understand. This technique allows the authors -- as well as those, like Anderson, those who cite the study -- to exaggerate what the data actually show.
Consider sentences like this one: "Indeed, all of those results imply a large bias in coverage ranging from 16.3 to 24.1 percentage points, though the results for the top 10 newspapers are statistically significant at only the .20 [p-value] level for a two-tailed t-test." As anyone trained in statistics knows, significance at the .20 level is no significance at all, since it means that one out of every five times the observed result would have appeared at random. The commonly accepted level for "real" significance is the .05 level, though scholars regularly report results that reach the .10 level of significance (discussions of statistical significance and the meaning of p-values can be found here and here). Lott and Hassett even report as meaningful results that reach "significance" at the .30 level, which any scholar would dismiss out of hand, though they ignored results at similar significance levels that countered their "liberal bias" thesis by showing coverage favoring Republican presidents.
The authors also seem ignorant of standard communication research practice for performing content analyses, since they do not address the issue of inter-coder reliability -- i.e., whether the various different coders analyzing the texts are producing mutually consistent results. Lott and Hassett apparently performed no inter-coder reliability tests; without such a test, no peer-reviewed journal would accept a paper based on content analysis. Their only hint at inter-coder reliability is a statement in an appendix that "there were no disagreements [between coders] in how headlines were being classified," a statement that anyone who has performed content analysis of news coverage would find simply unbelievable (a discussion of inter-coder reliability can be found here).
In addition, as others have noted, Lott and Hassett fail to account for the long-term economic trends that explain much of the way the economy has been perceived and reported during the past 15 years. For instance, though they control for the unemployment rate during a given quarter, as well as the unemployment rate of the previous quarter, the salient feature of the economy under President Clinton was steadily decreasing unemployment over several years. This long-term trend, and not simply the size of the difference in unemployment between one quarter and the next, created the impression of a good economy. Similarly, the public and the press understood the loss of jobs during the administration of President George W. Bush not just in the context of quarter-to-quarter changes, but in the contrast it presented with the previous administration.
The authors examined only newspaper headlines -- a reasonable choice given the magnitude of the task of analyzing full newspaper stories over a period of years. But having made that choice, they then refer repeatedly -- more than 150 times, in fact -- to "coverage," "media coverage," or "press coverage," and the "bias" they claim to have found therein. In fact, they have not analyzed "coverage" at all, only headlines.
Lott has been embroiled in scholarly scandal before, most notably when he was unable to produce data from a survey he claimed to have conducted that produced remarkable findings, and when he was found to have created an alias -- "Mary Rosh" -- on internet chat sites to defend his work (more details here). Lott also made false statements about the 2000 presidential election in an October 2004 appearance on CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight.
Who is Brian C. Anderson?
Anderson, O'Reilly's guest touting the study, works as a senior editor at City Journal, a quarterly magazine of the conservative Manhattan Institute, which has received millions of dollars from conservative foundations. City Journal itself was funded by the conservative John M. Olin Foundation starting in 1990.
In his writings, Anderson argues that conservatives are winning the media war. In an April 18 op-ed in the Los Angeles Times, he wrote: "Sure, talk radio is partisan, sometimes overheated. But it's also a source of argument and information. Together with Fox News and the blogosphere, it has given the right a chance to break through the liberal monoculture and be heard." In a January 28 Los Angeles Times commentary arguing that conservatism is on the rise among college students, Anderson also praised the efforts of discredited Students for Academic Freedom president David Horowitz. In South Park Conservatives, Anderson presents his ideas about the media and increasing youth conservatism. Anderson has also promoted other conservative causes. In addition, in the July 18, 2002, New York Sun, Anderson claimed that Supreme Court cases such as Brown v. Board of Education have allowed liberals to consolidate power in the hands of judges to promote liberals' political aims:
Since Brown, the Living Constitution has been used to justify, amazingly, racial discrimination by the government. It has also led to completely new procedural rights for the criminally accused that revolutionized the way the nation dealt with crime and helped fuel the crime explosion that began in the mid-1960s. Obscenity has gained constitutional protection while restrictions of political speech have been deemed consistent with the First Amendment. Partial birth abortion has been sanctified in a way no framer ever intended and no part of the Constitution supports.
From the April 18 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor:
O'REILLY: But your thesis is challenged right off the bat by The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and the network news producers who say there is no liberal bias; it's never existed. How do you answer that?
ANDERSON: Well, I think it's just an absurd claim. My book has a pretty thick chapter on examples of liberal bias going back for years and years. A good one is two researchers from the American Enterprise Institute just did a look at newspaper headlines in the mainstream media and A.P. reports going back, I think, to the early '80s on how they reported economic data. And any time there was a Republican president, the -- the reports were much more negative, whatever the underlying economic data actually were.

HITCHCOCK, Texas - The City of Hitchcock condemned 24 apartments after an inspector found walls covered in black mold.
Sharon Gee and dozens of residents at Mesquite Woods Apartments said they gave up hope that help would come. Gee said for two years, property management ignored her complaints about black mold in her apartment.
"It's hard," she said. "It's just something that it's their responsibility."
Albert Fifer said instead of getting rid of the mold, maintenance workers painted over it. But it came right back and caused health problems.
"I've been having lots of headaches and my grandson, who was staying over at the time, he complained about headaches and getting nauseous," Fifer said.
Now the residents are breathing easier because they are staying at a nearby inn after the City of Hitchcock condemned their apartments. Inspector Darrell Hunter said a tip from an insurance adjuster led him to inspect the complex. In some units, Hunter said he found sewage soaked floors and black mold from floor to ceiling.
"It's just totally covered," said Hunter. "I've never seen a mold situation like this in my life, even in abandoned buildings."
Hunter called in city code enforcer Tom Everett who condemned three buildings.
"We posted all the condemnation notices so people won't go back in there," said Everett.
He also told the owner, Marion Tompkins, to find the families healthier places to stay. Tompkins is also facing citations for violating city building codes. LOCAL 2 contacted property management and Tompkins, but no one responded.
Everett said residents will stay in temporary housing until permanent arrangements can be made by the owner. Everett said the owner is not allowed to rent the condemned units again until inspectors come back and agree the property is clean.
While residents are feeling better, their problems haven't ended. Gee said the owner is forcing them to keep paying rent on their condemned apartments.
"It's just like another knife stabbed in you again," said Gee.

[3]1) Erlang SSL documentation
[4]2) message from mailing list
This howto describes how I got distributed Erlang nodes (each running on different physical servers) to communicate using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol over the Internet through firewalls. I had control of the firewalls, and you will need control of your firewalls, to do what I describe here. Firewall configuration is dependent upon what kinds of firewalls are being used, and the network architecture. I also show a patch to inet_ssl_dist.erl which creates a new kernel environment variable to force SSL communication over a pre-determined port. This (or something similar) is a necessity if you want to limit your open firewall ports.
I do not describe the commands needed to configure firewalls. I do, however, give general guidelines which are required for any firewall with regards to opening and forwarding ports to have the Erlang nodes communicate.
Once you configure a node to use SSL, it can only talk with other nodes using SSL.
There are applications where you may want Erlang nodes to communicate over the Internet. Perhaps some distributed processing or data gathering. Perhaps embedded controllers doing remote control or monitoring, or TiVO (tm) like devices "phoning home" or receiving programming updates. Perhaps a distributed Mnesia database. Also useful would be if they communicate over the Internet securely using the SSL protocol.
It happens that my application is a security application [5]. It determines if certains hosts (IPs) are attempting to compromise a server (what that consists of is a subject for a different howto). Once the application decides that an IP is an attacker, it takes some action(s). Attacks from that IP generally will be made on any server on that network (that is, any server with Internet visibility on that subnet).
Attacking IPs typically attack other servers on other networks, as well. The three networks I use as an example contain four servers of interest with Internet visibility. I often see the same IP attacking other servers on other networks.
Because the application is run on all the servers, any single server is fully capable of determining if an IP is an attacker and taking appropriate action. However, I decided I would have my application "warn" other servers of attacking IPs and save doing the same analysis work repeatedly on each server.
Main Text
Communications Overview
If multiple servers are on a single network, having Erlang talk amongst them is trivial. Simply use
and it works (well, almost that simple).
It becomes more complex if you want to get through firewalls over the Internet (and want to use SSL). The servers I wish to communicate amongst each other are distributed over the Internet, and I want them talking privately using SSL.
You will need control of the firewalls and servers in question so that you can set the proper configurations. The techniques discussed map to any application that has inter-node communication using standard Erlang semantics.
Erlang can already "talk SSL". However, presently, I know of no standard way to choose what port to use. I have tried using the
-ssl proxylsport NNNN
command line flag and was unsuccessful in having it work as I expected (I thought it would limit SSL communications to port NNNN). I describe a patch to Erlang which creates a new kernel variable (inet_ssl_port) enabling selection of a specific port over which to "talk SSL" (similar to inet_dist_listen_{min,max} for normal TCP communications, though this new variable for SSL enables setting only a single port rather than a range of ports). I have submitted the patch to the [6]Ericsson Erlang developers, and I am hopeful that it or something like (perhaps a range of ports) it will get incorporated into the [7]standard distribution (or someone explains to me how to specify a single SSL port without my patch!).
If you do not have control of your firewalls, most of the techniques described here will not be useful to you. You will probably have to use something such as over SSL (though certainly, being able to control your SSL port will be useful!).
I have four servers (one Erlang node on each server), all running various release 9.x versions of [8]SuSE [9]GNU [10]Linux distributions.
Much testing and development was done on a laptop loaded with release 6.10 of the [11]Ubuntu desktop [derived from [12]Debian] distribution. All servers run Erlang [13]R11B-2, and are are visible on three different (public) networks distributed across the Internet.
Each server has it's own hardware firewall (even the two on the same public IP block); two of the servers also run software firewalls.
The Erlang port mapper daemon epmd runs on the IANA ([14]Internet Assigned Number Authority) well-known port [15]4369 and is reserved for both TCP and UDP protocols. It was registered by [16]Ericsson Corporation for the [17]Erlang language. Using my patch, I was able to force the SSL communications to run on the same port for each node. This allowed me to open only two extra ports on the firewalls, 4369 for epmd, and a port for SSL traffic.

Communication between nodes is initiated over epmd's well-known port 4369. In default behaviour, a different port is (randomly) chosen for the nodes to exchange messages. Since I do not want to open all ports on my firewalls (how would I know which one might be active?), I need some way to limit what ports are used to communicate between nodes over SSL. That is the purpose of the simple hack described above, so I can choose my port.
I start the application using the SSL boot file (-boot ${HOME}/start_ssl_clean). I limit the ports using the sys.config file (-config ${HOME}/sys.config).
merl is a 'safe' account created only to run certain programs, and with limited authority.

%% for example [ {kernel, [ {inet_ssl_port, 4370} ] } ].
I hope that is enough to get you started using secure communications between your Erlang nodes.

Photo Galleries: L.A. Clippers Chris Paul press conference
It was part homecoming, part orientation and part first day of school for the Clippers on Wednesday.
It was also part space program, with six players, three new and three jumping back onto the launching pad, lined up in a row in their suits, eager to show that the 2013-14 Clippers will have the right stuff.
The main draw was Chris Paul, signed, sealed and delivered with his five-year, $107 million contract.
The shooters the Clippers traded for, J.J. Redick and Jared Dudley, were ready for their Los Angeles debut. And there was Darren Collison, who will reunite with Paul in the backcourt.
And perhaps just a touch surprised to be there at all were Matt Barnes and Ryan Hollins, who return to the club after wondering if their Clippers days were over after the disappointing finish in the playoffs.
They all had that look of anticipation, something rarely associated with the Clippers, of chasing a championship dream together.
"We need jelling on and off the court," Barnes said. "Last year, having so many different guys and being able to jell before we got on the court, was great. Chris and I have talked about a retreat for the players, take them all out before camp, get away from everybody, get with ourselves just to get to know each and mess around a little bit and just get ready for this run."
After the whirlwind of free agency and trades, it could all be made official Wednesday. Redick (Milwaukee) and Dudley (Phoenix) arrived in a trade that sent Eric Bledsoe and Caron Butler to the Suns, with a second-round draft pick going to Milwaukee.
Barnes, Hollins and Collison signed free-agent contracts. The Clippers are still shopping, with forward Lamar Odom and Antawn Jamison still on the wish list.
It all started with Paul, who acknowledged he was ready for the grumblings of fans who thought he wielded too much input in player selection and determining that Vinny Del Negro would not return as coach.
"I knew that going into free agency that any time something happened, everybody was going to say 'What is Chris doing?' but it comes with it and I was prepared for that," Paul said. "I was shooting a commercial when I found out about (the Redick-Dudley deal). It's part of the process."
New coach -- and senior director of basketball operations -- Doc Rivers now has to take the parts he has acquired and assemble them with mainstays Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan and Jamal Crawford.
"I told our guys if you feel like this team has a chance, then you want to play with us," Rivers said of his recruiting pitch. "If you don't, and I was honest, go somewhere else and try to win it. I told all of them that because that's our goal."
Paul's early commitment to the cause set the tone.
"I don't know if it was a surprise, but it was important," Rivers said. "I thought that was big for us because it told everybody he wanted to be here."
Collison is entering his fifth year, Dudley his seventh and Redick his eighth. Barnes, Redick and Collison are taking pay cuts to join the cause, which did not go unnoticed.
"They get who they are, all of them," Rivers said. "They're over themselves, which is so important in our league. When you have guys who know who they are, they usually stay in their lane, if you know what I'm saying.
"They're really over themselves. They've gotten past that stage of their career and they're just trying to win and they're doing whatever it takes.
"When you can add guys like that to a team, to a talented group, I think it's really important."
They're also over their past. Both Paul and Redick smiled when reliving their ACC battles when Redick's Duke team squared off against Paul and Wake Forest.
"It's crazy how life works and how you grow as a person," Paul said. "Because in college me and J.J. -- oh no, you would never see us sitting next to each other. When I saw that J.J. signed here I was overjoyed.
"I told my wife I am so excited because we're on the same team and I don't have to run around and chase him. He hit us up for about 39 one time at Cameron Indoor. I almost feel like a rookie again, because we can really start to build something."
"My sophomore year, I think it was Chris' freshman year, we were playing a game at Wake Forest and we were in the middle of running a play and I slapped him in the face," Redick recalled with a small smile. "There was a level of animosity there for a number of years. I believe I did apologize.
"When you look around the league, there are four or five point guards you immediately target -- wouldn't that guy be great to play with? -- and Chris is definitely one of those guys."

"I loved the design for our wedding. The designer worked well to get the exact colors and layout that we wanted. Note, that the Glitter is an image and not actually glitter."
"I was so afraid to order my shipment without seeing the exact card proof but I love them! I had ordered the LINEN background because others had recommended it, and instead of the textured I ordered the PEARL WHITE SHIMMER for a more modern look. I couldn't be happier with them. It looks like, from other reviewers, you really have to change the background to linen if you want the shimmer. I hadn't liked the roughness of the original sample. The red is a bit on the pink side but not too much. The designers were able to put the little Ganesh in the top circle for me which I was very impressed with! I definitely recommend!"
"We are so happy with how our wedding invitations turned out! I can't believe how much we love them. The colors are vibrant and elegant and are perfect for our Dallas rooftop wedding. I give this product 5 stars for sure and nothing less."
"I am having and as Asian-American wedding and was looking for an invitation that wouldn't put us over out budget but still had a nice Asian flair. I loved the design and to top it off the little elephant on the front and back made everything come together perfectly. My family is from Laos the land of a million elephants. I was able to keep the information simple yet it still made the invitation beautiful. The customer service was wonderful. I received my proofs within a timely manner and when I did come in contact with any staff they were always friendly, and knowledgeable."
"This product is outstanding. I have been most impressed by the quality, service and ease of use on the website. I had my invitations delivered to Australia and they were worth every cent and more. Thankyou for making this part of my wedding planning easy and extremely affordable. I love my invitations!!"

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 3/2/2014 (1297 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The once-sketchy West Broadway-Sherbrook Street area now has a waiting list of retailers champing at the bit to set up shop there, according to one area official.
The only problem is they can't find an empty storefront to move into.
"We have a real lack of street-level commercial retail space," Leah McCormick, executive director of the West Broadway Business Improvement Zone, said in an interview. "We have some office space available, but no street-level retail."
That's a far cry from a decade or two ago, when for-rent signs were commonplace and the area wasn't even on the radar for most local business owners.
"This area went through some rough years in the 1980s," McCormick said. "I've been here almost 13 years, and it was pretty sketchy even when I moved here."
But since then, the area has quietly morphed into one of the city's new hip districts. A whack of new businesses -- everything from restaurants and coffee shops to an IT business and a big-box clothing store -- have moved in and breathed new life into the area.
West Broadway BIZ records show that in the last six years, 20 new businesses have opened in the area. Their arrival boosted the area's business count to about 110 and has added about $2.5 million per year in additional rental income for the area's commercial property owners.
However, they also gobbled up virtually all the street-level retail space on the area's three main commercial arteries -- Sherbrook, Maryland and Broadway. And the resulting shortage is undermining the ongoing revitalization efforts of groups such as the West Broadway BIZ.
McCormick said she knows of at least three individuals or groups of individuals who are looking for space in the area. They include two entrepreneurs who want to open a coffee shop, a real estate agent who wants to open a neighbourhood office and an entrepreneur who wants to open a general store.
"And that's just the ones who have contacted me," she said, noting area retailers say they also know of others who are keen on the district.
"Sherbrook seems to be first choice, but there is interest in Broadway and Maryland also," McCormick said.
One possible solution would be to redevelop some of the big, three-storey homes on Sherbrook to create new ground-floor retail space.
That's what's being done at 143 Sherbrook, which is next door to the house where McCormick's women's clothing and giftware shop -- Brave New World -- is located.
The property's owner has built a one-storey addition to the front of the house, which in early April will become the new home of another women's clothing and fashion accessories shop -- EMK Clothing. The upper floors will remain residential units.
EMK owner Erin Kembel, who designs and makes her own clothing, has leased about 1,100 square feet in the building. About 500 square feet will serve as her retail shop and the rest will be studio/work space.
Kembel said she's been running her business out of the basement of her family's Fort Garry home, "and I've just reached the point where I've outgrown the basement."
She said she had her eye on the West Broadway-Sherbrook area for some time. "I've been watching all of these new businesses opening up and it seems like such an exciting area."
She said her husband happened to be driving by the Sherbrook Street property and spotted a for-rent sign. So she raced down to check it out and promptly signed a five-year lease.
"It was just so perfect. I love the street traffic and the pedestrian vibe the area has. And I like the surrounding neighbourhood. It sort of suits the genre of clothing I have."
McCormick said there are also a number of vacant lots that would be suitable for new mixed-use developments that could include retail/commercial space on the main floor and residential or office space above.
That's exactly what the owners of Syverson Monteyne Architecture have in mind for a vacant lot the firm owns on the southeast corner of Maryland and Westminster Avenue.
Dean Syverson, who is also vice-chairman of the West Broadway BIZ, said the firm plans to put up a three-storey building that will include up to 2,500 square feet of retail/commercial space on the ground floor and either business condos or residential units on the other two floors. They expect to begin construction early next year and spend about $1.5 million.
"I think we've come to an appreciation that there is a considerable demand... for mixed-use space (in the area)," Syverson said. "And there's a big demand for small-scale commercial space that's suited for retail or professional offices."
He said that in the approximately three years since he and business partner Tom Monteyne relocated their business from the Exchange District to 194 Sherbrook, they've seen a number of other new businesses open on the street.
Like McCormick, Syverson hopes to see other property owners either investing in new developments or redeveloping or refurbishing their existing buildings.
"I'll be knocking on doors and talking to property owners," McCormick said, adding the BIZ also will be offering enhanced street-front improvement grants up to $5,000 this year to help spur new development.
"We've got the funding in place to do three this year," she said.

Shrimp 5 Waysby Toby Amidor in Healthy Recipes, February 17, 2010
Three ounces of shrimp only contains 84 calories and 1 gram of fat and comes packed with selenium and energy-boosting B-vitamins. As long as you keep portions under control (and forgo the frying), there's no need to stress about the cholesterol. Shrimp lovers, try these five recipes.
Cook shrimp in a touch of oil and add a combination of your favorite veggies and spices. Serve with a half-cup serving of couscous, wild or brown rice on the side and enjoy.
RECIPE: Garlic Basil Shrimp
Don't forget the shrimp cocktail the next time you host a party. Roasting will keep your shrimp moist and the delicious cocktail sauce is low in calories (shhh, don't tell your guests!).
RECIPE: Roasted Shrimp Cocktail (pictured above)
Toss shrimp in your favorite low-calorie sauce and fire up the grill. Thread shrimp and your favorite veggies on kabobs, serve with rice and you've got a quick and easy meal. Or try topping greens with grilled shrimp for a light lunch.
RECIPE: Lime Chicken and Shrimp Kabobs
Cozy up to a soup or stew during a cold winter night. Use aromatic veggies such as onions and garlic along with your favorite seafood combinations — shrimp, clams and mussels, for example.
RECIPE: Provencal Shellfish Stew
Bake shrimp with savory feta for a new take on a casserole. This quick dish takes less than 30 minutes to prepare and you can quickly reheat leftovers in the oven or office microwave.

WILL Flaming Spear go on to emulate Blaine and The Grey Gatsby for Kevin Ryan?
The Sutton Bank trainer has chosen the John Smith's Median Auction Maiden Stakes to introduce some impressive talent to the York Racecourse stage and the winner's enclosure.
Blaine subsequently went on to win the Gimcrack Stakes, while The Grey Gatsby has claimed the Dante Stakes and Prix du Jockey Club this year.
Flaming Spear, the latest juvenile to come off the Hambleton conveyor belt, looks to have just as bright a future after beating Lady Gemini.
It took a moment or two for the penny to drop for the son of Lope de Vega, a £260,000 buy but, once he realised what was required of him, he asserted strongly to win by two and three quarter lengths.
"It's not a case of finding the same race for them," said the trainer's son and assistant, Adam, when asked about the stable's recent roll of honour in the contest.
"York is a great place for two-year-olds and it is a great education for them with a crowd of that size.
"It's a beautiful track. He has always shown the right signs at home. We hoped he would rise to the occasion. It was the first day at school for him but it would have been fairly disappointing if he hadn't been there or thereabouts.
"All he can do is keep on improving."
Continuum could be aimed at the Ebor Handicap next month after he gave veteran trainer Peter Hedger his first ever York success when taking the Listed John Smith's Silver Cup.
The five-year-old, an 11-1 shot ridden by Joe Fanning, crept up on the outside to take victory by three-quarters of a length and deny 6-4 Waila the spoils.
The latter, trained by Sir Michael Stoute, came to challenge with a quarter of a mile left to travel and led at the final furlong but Continuum finished the faster and now has all kinds of options, said his Hook-based handler.
"He's in the Ebor but there are some tricky fixtures that weekend," Hedger said. "There is also a one mile seven furlong race at Deauville and the German St Leger.
"This is my first winner here at York and he ran really well. The owner, John Whelan, picked him out himself. He had ability but he also had his quirks.
"He paid 240,000 Guineas for him at the October Sales at Newmarket. He's always been all right with us. You wouldn't put a kid on him but as long as he has got a lead horse and his lads are good he is okay."
The Nunthorpe Stakes is also on the cards for Take Cover (9-1) after he made all to win the Listed John Smith's City Walls Stakes.
Bawtry trainer David Griffiths had considered taking the seven-year-old out of the five furlong £40,000 dash but admitted the son of Singspiel now had another string to his bow - leading from pillar to post to beat G Force by a length and a quarter and giving jockey Andrea Atzeni a quick-fire double following his victory in the John Smith's Cup on Farraaj.
Griffiths said: "He is different gear when he is like that and they just can't get to him. He pretty much stays six furlongs and he just keeps going.
"Hopefully, we can kick on. We will go to Goodwood for the King George and maybe come back here for the Nunthorpe. We do think he is a Group 1 horse."

HOUSTON - Authorities say they have found a 4-month-old girl who was believed to be abducted by her mother's boyfriend.
The baby was found at the Mariner Inn, 1602 Seawall Boulevard, on Galveston Island, said Lt. Michael Gray.
The Amber Alert for 4-month-old Stephanie Phillips has been cancelled.
Houston police said Byron Gee, 32, took Stephanie from the Brays Oaks Apartments at 6405 West Bellfort about 5 a.m. on Tuesday, after he argued with the baby's mother.
According to the Houston Police Department, Gee is now in custody.
After taking the child, Gee ran to an apartment complex across the street and carjacked a woman who was headed to work, investigators said.
Police said Gee approached a woman in a white 1999 Ford Expedition and stole the vehicle and her purse. Relatives of the carjacking victim said the purse contained her paycheck and all the money she had saved.
The stolen vehicle was then found at a Red Carpet Inn in the 6100 block of the Gulf Freeway on Tuesday afternoon, but Gee and Stephanie were not there, investigators said.
Authorities said the baby was found alone and Gee was gone, reported to be in the neighborhood nearby. A K9 unit helped locate Gee 15 blocks away at the intersection of 19 and Avenue L.
Gee was taken into custody by Houston police after 8 pm Tuesday evening.
According to Stephanie's relatives, Gee also goes by the name Bryan Brooks.
Gee has a lengthy criminal record that dates back to 2006. He has been convicted of assault with a deadly weapon, assault causing bodily injury, evading arrest unauthorized use of a motor vehicle and driving with a suspended license.
Police said EMS took the baby to the hospital as a precaution. Officials said she appeared to be fine.
A police chief went to the scene Tuesday evening and is conducting the investigation personally.
Texas EquuSearch officials said their command post was at West Bellfort at Sandpiper.

Topic: My latest update
Greetings All,
I've been pretty quiet lately. Dealing with steadily increasing GI problems, unable to keep food down, as well as other life changes. We now have an idea what the problems are so I thought I'd check in with an update.
EUS Procedure today went well and was worth doing.
Good news first. My pancreas and spleen appear to be in good shape and doing well. They also pumped what was left in my stomach which has given me temporary relief from the nausea etc this evening.
They did find small ulcers at the top of the stomach near my esophagus and took biopsy's to be sure there is no tumor behind it.
They also found a large mass, almost certainly malignant tumor, either at the base of my stomach or into the duodenum.....I don't remember which. This is out for pathology but the only question seems to be if it is a metastasis of my cholangio or a new cancer. It appears to be fast growing. I will be presented to the tumor board at DHMC and they will give me their recommendations.
I've not 'let all this in' yet nor do I now have any idea of the choices I'l make to deal with it. I'll get more information soon I hope. It is a relief to finally understand what has caused my GI distress and inability to keep any sold food down. I will only drink liquids now while contemplating what is next.
It feels good to be home and sipping on a hot broth. There is no immediate crisis, rather it's a time to learn and think about options.

Security Council: Statement by Ambassador Thoms on the situation in Ukraine after Adoption of Resolution 2166
(as delivered:)
"Thank you, Mr President,
Let me first of all express my sincere condolences and heartfelt sympathies to Foreign Minister Timmermans and the people of the Netherlands, to Foreign Minister Bishop and the people of Australia, as well as to all others who had nationals, relatives, family or friends on flight MH17.
298 lives have been tragically lost. We are mourning the loss of four of our citizens. My government is profoundly grateful for the condolences offered by so many Delegations in the course of the past days.
Mr. President,
Germany is shocked over mounting evidence that the airliner was, indeed, shot down. This would be an outrageous crime.
What is happening currently at the crash site is unacceptable and shameful. The world is horrified to witness the abominable circumstances prevailing there.
We call on all actors to ensure that
- unhindered access and security for OSCE monitors and international experts are guaranteed,
- that there are no further impediments to the recovery of the bodies of victims and their transport to Charkiv as proposed by the Netherlands,
- that any further tampering with possible evidence is ruled out,
- and that an international investigation is instituted as soon as possible leading to a full and thorough examination. We welcome the efforts undertaken by the Government of Ukraine to this effect so far.
We also applaud President Poroshenko's announcement today of a unilateral cease-fire around the crash site – a step that must be reciprocated immediately by the separatists.
Mr. President,
The downing of MH17 has added a global dimension of the conflict in Eastern Ukraine.
It renders a peaceful and negotiated resolution of the crisis even more urgent. The conflict in Eastern Ukraine must be brought to an end. We urgently need a bilateral cease-fire and the beginning of real negotiations. Germany has constantly worked to further such a peaceful solution, as demonstrated by innumerable talks and meetings between Chancellor Merkel, Foreign Minister Steinmeier and other senior leaders.
Unfortunately, the Russian leadership has so far failed to discourage the separatists from their illegal acts and to stop the infiltration of weapons, fighters and ammunition.
We expect Russia to finally bring its influence to bear on the separatists, to prevent Russian citizens from joining them and to immediately take all necessary measures to ensure an effective control of the Russian-Ukrainian border.
We also expect Russia to fully support the investigation concerning the causes of the crash, particularly through exerting the necessary pressure on the separatists to immediately stop destroying evidence and giving full and unfettered access to Ukrainian and international investigators.
Thank you, Mr President!"

The most frequently suggested solution to Social Security's potential shortfall is to raise the cap on earnings. That would mean people who earn more than the current cap of $113,700 and their employers would owe payroll taxes on earnings above that level.
In some suggested scenarios, those who pay more wouldn't get more. Currently, Social Security's retirement benefits are calculated so that lower-earning workers get back 90 percent of the first $767 of their average indexed monthly earnings over 35 years. Those who earned more over that time get an additional 32 percent of the next $3,857. Higher earners also get 15 cents on the dollar for every additional $1 they earn over $4,624 up to the current earnings cap.
Eliminating the cap and raising what Social Security pays high earners wouldn't solve any Social Security shortfall. More money would come in, but more would go out.
If we raise the cap but we don't pay high earners more, then Social Security begins to look more like a retirement planning welfare program. Andrew Biggs, a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute and former principal deputy commissioner of the Social Security Administration, pointed out in The New York Times Wednesday that if we eliminate the cap and don't pay more, "a person earning $225,000 would pay roughly four times more in taxes than he'll receive in benefits."
Biggs adds that the top federal tax rate on earned income is currently 45 percent -- nearly half of what a high-earner makes. He calculates that eliminating the cap on Social Security would effectively raise the top tax rate by about 12 percentage points. That's a whopping tax increase with no commensurate increase in benefits.
I wrote recently about the administration's proposal to change how cost-of-living increases are calculated -- a way to partially shore up Social Security by spreading the burden to include most recipients. Reader reaction was negative, but that proposal still seems far more fair that putting the burden solely on people who earn the most.

Darwin's Great, Great Grandson, said in The Sunday Times (UK) Nov. 12, 2000, "I don't believe in God how could I, given my great grandfather's theories? But perhaps I would feel happier if I did. Just because I have rejected conventional religion, it does not mean there isn't a void to be filled."
Editorial Comment: The proof of the pudding, particularly for those theologians who insist evolution is no threat to Christianity. The interview is subtitled, "a rueful history of the family curse" as he shares the family consequences of Darwin's attack on Biblical Creation. He begins with Darwin the hypochondriac "whose list of maladies were awe inspiring" down to his mother and grandmother who "were manic depressives" and whose mother "became a complete alcoholic". It may also be of interest to note that the Biblical principle that the sins of the fathers affects a family down to the third and fourth generation (Exodus Chapter 20 Verse 5). This man is now the fifth generation and he has been on a creation field trip. Pray for him and the whole family. (Ref. Darwin, Theistic Evolution, Faith)

nadim.kahwaji - Tuesday, April 15, 2014 - linkAs you said Guys Lack of frequency of the podcast (the best in industry) is the only flaw (but a Major one) :( Reply
jenjohnson - Tuesday, April 15, 2014 - linkGlad Brian is gone. I dont think even Steve Jobs was as arrogant Reply
creed3020 - Tuesday, April 15, 2014 - linkI didn't even know he left AT. I do see that the About page has been purged of any of the staff names and their positions. Reply
tipoo - Wednesday, April 16, 2014 - linkWait, he's gone for good? Not just on temp leave? Reply
scavio - Tuesday, April 15, 2014 - linkSure he was arrogant, but most intelligent people are. To me, Brian and Anand are the ultimate tech "talking heads" because not only do they articulate well but they actually are fully informed on what they talk about. Most other tech types I have read and listened to only seem to excel at one or the other. Reply
jenjohnson - Tuesday, April 15, 2014 - linkThere's a huge difference between Anand and Brian.
Anand is really smart, but HUMBLE.
Also, Anand gets reviews out ON TIME. Look at the HTC one (M8) and Galaxy S5. Both reviews were done before the devices shipped (or there abouts).
Brian does an extra thorough review 2 months after the device is out (Nexus 5). IMO that makes the review much less valuable. Interested buyers already bought the N5 long before his review... Reply
NaedDraagur - Tuesday, April 15, 2014 - linkWell, i dont think you can actually compare the way that Anand and Brian write reviews.
There is a heck of a difference between the content in the reviews you mention :) Reply
jenjohnson88 - Tuesday, April 15, 2014 - linkThat's exactly what I'm saying.
I'd much rather have a review that covers 90% that's out on day one, rather than a review that covers more info months after the device is out.
I read reviews to help decide to buy a device. It's not useful if there is no ETA for a review (because Brian arrogantly says he doesn't give ETAs), and you need to know whether to buy a device.
Anyway, let's just say I'm glad that Anand is doing the important flagship device reviews again :) :) :) Reply
NaedDraagur - Tuesday, April 15, 2014 - linkDifferent types of reviews for different people :)
Personally i would prefer both, and i think there have been cases of that on the site before. Where there has been a "quick" review by Anand, and then a more detailed one by Brian
Well, as for saying that he doesnt give ETA's, cant say i dont understand him on that front. Anand talked a bit (in todays stream) about some of the time frames they are working with in regards to review units and NDA lifts.
If he is to have any kind of "life" outside of doing review work, then yes, i understand his stance on ETA's :) Reply
AmdInside - Tuesday, April 15, 2014 - linkI guess while we are discussing reviews, wish you guys would use a different background when taking pics. Just use a solid white background. Makes it easier to to view darker colored products that the black grey textured background you are currently using. Reply
dylan522p - Tuesday, April 15, 2014 - linkYes, but Brian's phone reviews were also superior though. Just compare the M7 vs M8 review. Reply
Hrel - Monday, April 21, 2014 - linkI disagree about the review needing to be out before the product ships. I'm never an early adopter for the simple reason that I want my products to be mature. More than that though I want the market to be competitive, which means I wait until all the players have submitted their attempt at winning my business. Because I buy things months after they're released, or more, I found his in depth, experience based reviews very helpful.
This thread is the first time I've heard of him being gone though. Who's gonna do laptops? Reply
JlHADJOE - Tuesday, April 15, 2014 - linkI always thought by-play between Anand and Brian was what made the podcast so entertaining. Reply

Sunrise089 - Tuesday, April 15, 2014 - linkThanks for the heads up and for doing the podcast Anand. I can't listen live so I do appreciate the effort to get it into the podcast archive for download later.
It's always weird when personnel changes happen silently, but I'm sure you guys have your reasons. I didn't find Brian arrogant exactly, but I did find him oddly dismissive of things via the smug 'sorry guys, not happening' line. I won't miss that part of the show at least. Reply
Tishyn - Tuesday, April 15, 2014 - linkNo brian = rly sad cat. These podcasts starring anand and brian are the best thing the internet have ever seen. Reply
Brian Z - Tuesday, April 15, 2014 - linkIWant our review now damnit! funny how so many people come to this site for the detailed information it provides on a product. That so many complain when a review on a new device isn't posted as soon as a NDA lifts. Because battery testing, cellular testing, picture testing, and all the other stuff like software new SoC platform and so on can all be done to level of detail you expect in 5 days.
All with hardly and documentation. And what they do know they often can't say. No device manager no nothing. But nope. We syill want Reply

secretanchitman - Tuesday, April 15, 2014 - linkNice to see the podcast back after a long hiatus! I would like to see more of these on a regular basis. Too bad Brian isn't here to bounce thoughts off one another (where did he go anyway?). Reply
Coup27 - Tuesday, April 15, 2014 - linkBrian is still active on Twitter and he still has "Senior Smartphone Editor for Anandtech" in his profile so talk of his demise may be premature.
No offence Anand, but this podcast by yourself was a little on the weird side. Reply

Can't/won't/don't sit in front of a screen for these video-casts. Your podcast is the best. Missed Klug. Wish you could do them more frequently but the writing on the site is still top-notch, and still the most important thing. Reply
dandiego - Wednesday, April 23, 2014 - link^ Same here, fellow car listener here. It's been over a week now though -- something tells me the audio-only version may never come. Reply
Spoony - Thursday, April 24, 2014 - linkKeep in mind, this is Anandtech. We aren't the helpless masses!
- Rip the video from YouTube (~1GB).
- Extract the audio track (192kbps, 44.1kHz stereo, AAC)
- Save it out and load it up on your preferred phone-based media player!
- Profit.
Now whether or not you should have to is a different question. However, if you really want the audio, it is low hanging fruit. You do lose a bit of Anand's animal magnetism without the video though. Reply
leafar30 - Thursday, April 24, 2014 - linkWell done like always, but I want more live podcast.
Talking about in the race mobil battle on; SoC,OS,Arm vs Intel,portable or console game( GPU), Microsoft vs android ( Linux), I want you expertise about the new Chinese Arm SoC,mostly allwinner the A80 with 41000 bm and power vr GPU ,rk3288,with A17 and Mali T7xx series and Mtk with their differents new SoC,because you mentioned, talking about the performance that Intel its reaching in the mobile SoC,compare with Mtk 8 core SoC.
About Amazon fire TV,I believe the same,they went to conservative in the hardware SoC,I do like the idea ,that you mention about a new feature console like Xbox or PS,with custom android,strong GPU and big company support, in this case Amazon Reply
aryonoco - Sunday, April 27, 2014 - linkAnand, thanks for the podcast. Just a few things:
1) Podcasts require regularity. You went from once a week to once a month to once now everth quarter? Please find a schedule that works for you and try and stick to it, I'd love to have one of your podcasts at least once every fortnight.
2) Having a single-person podcast is not much fun, even when that person is Anand. If Brian is not available anymore, please ask some of your new smartphone editors to join you. A podcast requires some level of discussion.
3) Please always publish an audio-only version of the show to your RSS feed. Sure I can scrape it myself but most podcast listeners use some software to manage their podcast and it's a massive inconvenience to not have your podcast readily available like that (and I'm sure it impacts your listener numbers).
A loyal reader and fan of AT. Reply
kylewat - Tuesday, April 29, 2014 - linkBrian Klug's reviews were the best. The iPhone 4 review, not that there is a canon to phone reviews, but it should be canonized as both the phone and the review that revolutionized the business. Reply
thekimbobjones - Tuesday, April 29, 2014 - linkSolo podcast just not the same. I also think it is incredibly disappointing that Brian Klug isn't around for these podcasts. The banter and energy between Anand and Brian was what made this podcast so engaging. I also think the loyal community who have been regular supporters deserve an explanation as to why Brian is a no show. Reply
