This Chocolate Chip Banana Bread recipe was inspired by the cover of this month's Cooking Light magazine, which features a beautiful Banana Bread with Chocolate Glaze. I did not have several of the ingredients for that banana bread on hand, but after seeing it, I had to have a chocolate & banana bread combo… I had to.
As you can see my concoction has little in common with the original that inspired it, other than both are banana breads which incorporate chocolate. If you don't have some of the ingredients for my version, by all means check out theirs. It is part of their 25 All Time Favorite Recipes feature this month, so it must be pretty dang good.
So why did I decide to load this banana bread up with chocolate chips, rather than top it with that lovely decadent chocolate glaze? Because, I can always slather a slice with the Nutella I have in my pantry, and go double chocolate crazy at any moment if I want to. So, I guess the true underlying reason would be that my devious mind was overtaken by pure chocolate greed…lol.

Salinas Police Silent After Fourth Officer Involved Killing
A man shot by Salinas Police this morning, July 10, at around 5am, died. Frank Alvarado, 40, was killed in this morning's officer involved shooting, which occurred in East Salinas at Beverly Drive and Fairview Avenue. This is the fourth officer involved killing by the Salinas Police Department in 2014.
Chief McMillin of the Salinas Police Department isn't releasing any information about the killing and is leaving that to the Monterey County District Attorney.
The SPD press release issued on July 10 states:
"Media Availability re: Investigation of Officer Involved Shooting
"Salinas Police Officers were involved in a shooting this morning at about 5:00AM. Chief McMillin has requested that the Monterey County District Attorney investigate this shooting. Any questions regarding the shooting should be directed to District Attorney Dean Flippo at 831-755-5470.
"Chief McMillin will be available to answer questions regarding this process this morning, July 10 at 11:00AM in the City Hall Rotunda."
From the Monterey County Weekly:
"UPDATE (12:50pm): District Attorney Dean Flippo identified the man as Frank Alvarado, who was 39 or 40 years old. Flippo said officers responded to a civilian calling in a complaint, though he was unable to provide details as to the nature of the complaint or the subsequent deadly encounter."
From the Californian:
"Flippo couldn't say whether Alvarado, who is either 39 or 40 years old, was armed or what he was doing."

Increases in Prison and Jail Spending in Governor's Revised Budget Opposed in Santa Cruz
by Alex Darocy
Thursday May 15th, 2014
Residents and representatives of community organizations in Santa Cruz rallied outside of the court house on May 14 to voice their strong opposition to the Governor's May revise budget, which calls for an increase in spending for jail and prison expansion. According to Californians United for A Responsible Budget (CURB), spending on corrections in the state will rise 2.9%, and total spending on prisons will top $12 billion if the budget revision is adopted. Similar rallies were also held in San Francisco, Bakersfield, Los Angeles, San Bernardino, and San Diego.
[Video: Courtney Hanson of Sin Barras, Tash Nguyen of Sin Barras, former inmate Frank Alvarado (at 3:55 - 4:50), Simba Kenyatta of the NAACP, and Willow of Sin Barras speak.]
[S]peaking at the rally was Frank Alvarado, a former inmate who described making it through eleven years of "hell" while incarcerated. He cautioned that building more prisons at the sacrifice of schools and parks would lead to devastating results for California.
"You will have your hell if you build those prisons," he said.
Monterey County District Attorney Flippo provided details of the killing today. Salinas Police say they received a report Alvarado was threatening his family in an attempt to "commit suicide by cop". They were also made aware over an emergency call that Alvarado was on meth and that he was threatening to "commit suicide by cop" by holding a cell phone like it was a gun. When they arrived he did that and police say two officers fired, finding the cell phone after shooting him.
From the Monterey County Weekly:
"Two officers fired, and Alvarado was transported to Natividad Medical Center, where he died."
"Flippo said he is not aware of any non-lethal attempts to stop Alvarado other than verbal command."

By ETHAN SMITH
Opinion Editor
Corey Howell is a graduating senior majoring in English with a minor in chemistry.
When asked why he came to Georgetown College, he said, "It was between coming to Georgetown and going to UK. Ultimately I decided to come to Georgetown because, though it was the same distance away, it felt more like home. The small classrooms and just smaller environment overall made for an easy transition from high school and just a better learning environment that fit me better. I also thought the community feel would be beneficial since this would be my first big move away from home."
While at Georgetown College, Corey was a member of the English Honors society Sigma Tau Delta, a member of The Georgetonian staff and assisted Dr. Ed Smith with film projects around campus. Corey notes that, "These experiences helped me make some great friends. And beyond that, they have helped me discover what I want to do with my life and have given me or improved the skills I need to succeed. I originally thought I wanted to go to medical school and become a doctor. But through my experiences here, my love of film was re-lit."
His favorite memory as a Georgetown student was his experience at Oxford. He says, "When I first came here I didn't even know it (Oxford) was an option. Then, once I did, I didn't think there was any way I'd ever get to go. Somehow it all worked out, however, and I spent this past Michaelmas term there. I gained so much from my time at Oxford. Meeting new and wonderful people, seeing great sights, improving, all around, my academic skills and, perhaps most importantly, gaining a kind of confidence in myself that I can kind of strike out on my own and accomplish anything I set my mind to."
After graduation, Corey plans to take a year off, saying, "I don't know exactly what's next for me, but I will definitely be taking the GRE and applying to graduate school. I also hope to be able to shoot the short film I wrote this semester soon, with the idea of possibly sending that in to graduate film schools for directing. Either way, I hope I can go to film school for either cinema studies or directing."
As for the people who helped make his experience, Corey says, "I guess I just want to say thanks to all my friends and professors, both here and at Oxford, for making my four years as a college undergrad unforgettable. If I had any advice to new undergrads, it would be to just try new things and find something you love. And, most importantly, don't let what you think others think of you pressure you into becoming someone you don't want to be. By realizing that my goal of being a doctor was actually the goal that others had placed upon me rather than something I actually wanted, and by rediscovering my love of film, Georgetown has really helped me get on the path to doing something I truly love. I also just want to give one last shout-out to Elizabeth. She's been putting up with me for the greater part of six years and I love her more than she'll ever know."

While bored and stuck at home, two bickering brothers find an old boardgame in the cellar that transports them to outer space. Unless they can successfully complete the game and reach the planet Zathura, they will be trapped there forever.
From the same world — and indeed author — as Jumanji, Jon Favreau's interstellar fantasy treads familiar ground as two children uncover a mysterious, musty old board game. Catapulted into the depths of space, brothers Walter and Danny brave meteor showers, malfunctioning robots and the occasional sibling squabble.
Slick visuals make up what the film lacks in story, but it's the young actors at Zathura's heart that prove its real strength. The pair deliver effortless performances and successfully carry the entire film with a bare minimum of adult interference
Charming children's adventure with some superb performances from the young cast.

Jerusalem (Aug. 29)
The Palestine film censorship board today prohibited the showing in the Holy Land of the film "Dream of My People," finished last year just before the death of the late cantor, Joseph Rosenblatt. The exhibition was prohibited despite the fact that the film had already been shown in Tel Aviv. No reason was assigned by the censors for their action.
Cantor Rosenblatt, one of the great cantors of all times, died in Jerusalem after a heart attack immediately after completion of the picture in which he was starred.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
My wife, without my knowledge and permission, filed for her siblings for GC (12 in total). I just found out about it when I saw the letter from INS requesting more details (like birth certificate etc). I am just curious to know who can this petition be cancelled and how far along it in is in the process (keeping in mind that INS has just requested birth certificates etc).
My wife doesn't work at all so she will have to use my income as proof of income. Because we do joint tax returns, can she use our tax returns as proof of income although she has no income. At what stage she would have to provide proof of income and if she sign affidavit of support, would I be held liable for it? Is there a way to tell INS that I am against this petition because I am the sole bread earner?
Sorry, there is nothing YOU can do. Only the Petitioner, YOUR WIFE, can withdraw. Even if she doesn't work, she could still file a petition. If you don't want to help, it doesn't matter, she could find a joint sponsor.

I agree with my colleague. There is nothing you can do to stop your wife's petitions - those are her cases. She will have to provide proof of her ability to support her siblings once a visa number becomes available for them, which may take anywhere from 10 to 25 years depending on which country they are from.Ask a similar question
As you are not the petitioner, you have nothing to do with these petitions and cannot withdraw them. Only your wife has the power to do that. As to the income requirements, that will not come into play until several years from now, when further documentation will be requested by the National Visa Center.

Hi - I am not sure if you can read my comments. I will give it a try: I should have phrased my question properly: My wife doesn't work but our tax returns are joint. In this case, can she use our joint returns (without my permission) to qualify for financial requirements. Is there a way to prevent her from doing so? I do understand the financial responsibility clause of 10 years for new immigrants and I don't want to be responsible for her siblings financially. Also, their petition was filed in February of 2008 (They are in Pakistan). How long more before INS would require my wife to provide financial requirements and the petition to get approved? Thanks.
Thanks you for the clarification. The key issue is that you filed jointly therefore, the spouse is able to use your joint return to qualify. Also, there is no exact time frame the USCIS (the former INS) processes the submission but it may take a long time.

My friend Tom Hollingsworth has written another NAT66-is-evil blog post. While I agree with him in principle, and most everyone agrees NAT as we know it from IPv4 world is plain stupid in IPv6 world (NAPT more so than NAT), we just might need NPT66 (Network Prefix Translation; RFC 6296) to support small-site multihoming ... and yet again, it seems that many leading IPv6 experts grudgingly agree with me.
What's the problem
There's plenty of multihoming going on in the current Internet without anyone being aware of it. Anyone using Internet for mission-critical applications (or business-grade cloud access) can get two Internet connections from two upstream providers and use pretty simple NAT tricks to use those connections in either active-standby or active-active mode. I'm personally aware of a few large multinational organizations using similar designs for remote office or retail access.
Using currently available low-end routers and existing IPv6 host stacks (with TCP stack without a session layer and broken socket API) you can solve the same problem in one of two ways in the IPv6 world:
BGP-based multihoming. Get a large chunk of provider-independent (PI) address space and an AS number, assign a /48 to every location, and run BGP with two upstream ISPs from every location.
With a few routing tricks you don't need more than one AS number; you can use default routing or allowas-in to get connectivity between your sites.
With this approach anyone in Elbonia who's willing to pay ASN and PI prefix tax (a few tens or hundreds € or $ per year) and a business-grade ISP connection to two Service Providers gets the chance to pollute routing and forwarding tables in every router in the default-free zone ... worldwide. Not something I'm looking forward to.
VPN-based multihoming. You use your own address space within the remote office site; the public address space assigned by the ISPs is used only to address tunnel endpoints. This design does not allow local Internet exit (all Internet traffic has to be shuffled over a VPN tunnel to a central hub site) – often a showstopper for companies that have widespread remote offices.
NPT66-based multihoming. Works in exactly the same way as NAT-based multihoming in IPv4, but translates only on the upper 64 bits of the IPv6 prefix. It's NAT (so it's evil), but at least it's stateless.
Unicorn tears and other solutions
There are a number of other solutions we could use, but they all require changes to the host IPv6 stack, so it's not likely we'll see them implemented any time soon.
SCTP and Shim6 are pretty old and well-known. SCTP requires application-level changes (due to broken socket API), Shim6 requires changes in the IPv6 stack.
IPv6 multihoming without IPv6 NAT is one of the emerging IETF drafts that try to address the problem (you should read at least the first few sections, where they admit you need NPT66) ... but yet again requires changes to the host IPv6 stack to work properly (but only in the source IP address selection policy code).
LISP would replace BGP-based multihoming with LISP-based multihoming (moving the customer prefixes into the LISP+ALT topology, which yet again uses BGP). This approach will probably work well once everyone deploys LISP. In the meantime, you'll need proxy-ITR/ETR routers (6to4 relays anyone?), resulting in suboptimal traffic flows and central choke points.
As much as I hate to admit it, NPT66 seems to be the most flexible solution for the small-site IPv6 multihoming problem we have today. I would love to see the host IPv6 stacks fixed, but I've learned a sad lesson from the history of NAT: once the networking McGyvers fix other people's problems with layers of duct tape, everyone starts pretending the problem is gone and goes off chasing another squirrel.

Westminster Couple Face Murder Charges
A Westminster couple, suspected in the death of a Westminster man, is being held in a Georgia jail. Warrants were issued for John Murriel Black, Jr, 49 and his wife Christine Davis Black, 46. They are suspected in the murder of Mrs. Black's father. Donald Lee Davis, 71, was found dead at 105 Jefferson Drive in Westminster. Oconee County Coroner Karl Addis says the autopsy showed Mr. Davis sustained multiple stab injuries. Addis says Davis died as a result of cardiac and pulmonary trauma due to stabbing injuries. Both Mr. & Mrs. Black have been charged with Murder and Possession of a weapon during a violent crime. The Oconee County Sheriff's issued an alert to surrounding law enforcement agencies to be on the lookout for the suspects who were believed to be driving the victim's minivan. Around 10:30 Wednesday morning, Hart County Georgia Authorities spotted the van. Hart County Authorities apprehended the suspects, and they remain in custody. Investigators with the Oconee Sheriff's department are working with officials in Hart County to arrange for extradition of the couple back to Oconee County.

I love a little surprise & it doesn't always have to come in the form of a gift. A little unexpected pop of color or incorporating something that isn't typical makes a room, an outfit or a table more interesting. Orange is an expected fall color, but you don't often find the fruit in fall decorations. This table setting was inspired by the potpourri I made last fall. It was simple, all natural & the most beautiful color palette. In fact, it would make an incredible take home favor.
I rarely invest more than $10 in my table settings & this table is no exception. I always have both pillar candles & tapers on hand. I had the girls collect pine cones in our yard, purchased oranges & a bag of clementines. I also found a wispy little floral stem at my grocery store for $1 – it offered more than enough to work with & seeded eucalyptus. This, like my 5 minute centerpiece is edible, creating less waste. Create your own sprawling 5 minute fall table setting in just a few easy steps!
- oranges
- clementines
- pine cones
- candles {I used a mix of votives & pillars}
- 1 flower stem
- eucalyptus
5 Minute Fall Table Setting Tutorial:
- make a runner with candles
- add a few pinecones next to the candles, alternating their direction as needed
- tuck in snips of eucalyptus & floral stems – especially at the ends
- add oranges & clementines
Don't be afraid to get creative – you really can't go wrong!
For place cards, I printed our names on fabric & pulled strings to fray the edges. They pinned easily into clementines that I adorned with eucalyptus leaves & buds from the flower stem I used in the floral table runner. It makes each place setting feel personal in under 5 minutes {for the entire table!} To print on fabric, use my method or the new printable fabric sheets I discovered at Hobby Lobby.
I love how the rustic "table runner" frames each place setting, don't you?

TOULOUSE'S veteran coach, Guy Noves, said his team got what they deserved from Saturday's Heineken Cup quarter-final after failing to heed his warnings about Edinburgh's quality, writes David Ferguson.
Noves told his side before the match that the Scots would be a stiffer test in front of 37,000 passionate supporters than they might expect, Edinburgh joining Ulster and Cardiff in beating the French stars in quarter-finals outside France. "We were expecting them to be a dynamic team who would come out to give their best in front of a record Scottish crowd," he said.
"So it wasn't a surprise to me that Edinburgh won, and they deserved to win because they played well. We produced a good first half but a very bad second half, so we have to accept that it's our fault and congratulate Edinburgh."
His powerhouse tighthead prop, Census Johnston, a 20st 6lb Samoan, acknowledged that the Scottish pack's ability to compete in the scrum paved the way for the result.
"There were calls that didn't go our way, but that's the way games work and they capitalised on their chances and we didn't capitalise on much at all," he said. "We watched them on video and they struggled in the scrum, but were still able to pull the results. We are a good team but we couldn't get it together in the scrum or other phases and you have to give Edinburgh credit for that."

Business groups across bay start to come together on regional mass transit plan
"We can no longer afford to do nothing. We are already losing economically to competitor regions that have invested in their transportation systems. We need this comprehensive transportation plan to attract new businesses to Hillsborough to keep and multiply jobs."
The political group hopes to become a broad based coalition made up of local businesses, neighborhood groups, community leaders, elected officials and members of the public committed to improving transportation choices across Hillsborough County. County commissioners approved wording of the ballot language Wednesday. It calls for 75 percent of a one-cent sales surtax to be used on "transit, including local rail and an expanded bus system for express, local and neighborhood service." The final 25 percent goes for road improvements and other transportation projects. Hillsborough voters decide on the ballot issue in the November 2010 general election.
Across the bay in Pinellas County, business leaders are starting to throw their support to the Hillsborough cause, well aware that their Tampa brethren are carrying the greatest political water to make mass transit happen. John Long, who heads the St. Petersburg Area Chamber of Commerce, says his group will rally behind its economic counterparts in Hillsborough. On Monday, March 22, the chamber-backed Pinellas County Transit Summit convenes at the Hilton St. Petersburg in Carillon Park to discuss how better transportation could influence everything from local universities and colleges to tourism.
Says Long (in photo): It's all about getting prepared for the possibility of a similar referendum and surtax in Pinellas to support its own mass transit expansion -- meant to link with a regional system -- perhaps as early as 2011.

Last night, I decided to fix a frozen coffee. Yummy! While I was in the cupboard getting everything to blend up a frozen drink on a chilly night, I shifted gears and zoned in on the big box of Splenda that we bought at a Costco that opened a few months ago. On top of the Splenda box was a rather large jar of organic coconut oil that my husband really, really, really had to buy…at Costco, of course. There's something about the smell of coconut oil that turns me off, but no big deal if it's something he likes.
The Splenda box caught my eye because the dainty, little crystal holder that I reach for when I need a Splenda packet was almost empty. I moved the obnoxiously large jar of essential, wondrous, and fragrant organic coconut oil and grabbed a handful of Splenda packets. As I turned, the jar fell right on top of my "good" foot. It hurt like a sumnabitch. I couldn't talk it was so painful. I hobbled in pain to the living room hating, I mean really hating, that damn jar of coconut oil.
My husband was in the kitchen and sweetly asked if I needed the frozen peas. Yes, I most certainly needed the frozen peas. We are so prepared for bo-bos around here. He grabbed a hand towel and wrapped it around a huge bag of frozen peas and told me to go lie down. Propped up on some pillows with my bag-o-peas, I felt like asking if he'd make me a frozen coffee. I didn't ask because I remember how much he dreaded making those for me when I was bedridden after my accident.
I knew I married the right man before my wedding day, and that never changed. However, when faced with the dreadful and physically and emotionally difficult task of taking care of me, which included carrying me and lifting me like dead weight and he never balked or made me feel like an inconvenience, I KNEW I had married the right man. Words cannot describe how deeply intense the feeling of knowing your mate and life partner will do anything for you, no matter how many year have passed or wrinkles have appeared–true love truly knows no bounds–except blending up a frozen coffee.
Back to last night, though, I didn't have the heart to ask. While I sat there immobilized with my peas, I flashed back to him taking care of me immediately after my accident. Since my accident happened on a holiday weekend, I was sent home after they snapped my foot back in place at the ankle. Propofol is a helluva drug, by the way. The bones were shattered and jagged and basically floating until they could schedule my surgery after the holiday. Until surgery (and several months afterward), I was stuck, like a rock, in my bed. My dear husband set an alarm and would jump up and give me my numerous medications every few hours. After waking up for my 3 am dose, I told him I also needed the pain meds. He asked if I was sure and I assured him that it was due.
After swallowing a doubled-up dose, I realized I had, in fact, just taken a doubled-up dose an hour or two before that. I won't go into numbers or names of meds, but it was dangerous. My husband got in touch with the emergency room and they said that it was probably not lethal, but to definitely not let me go to sleep or be left alone for any length of time because it *could* be fatal. Ugh! It's 3 am, we're exhausted, but I must say that soon afterwards, I was FINALLY feeling some relief from the pain.
We sat in bed trying to find something on television that wasn't an hour-long infomercial about blenders, grills, garden hoses, or the worst of all for someone in my condition, some boot camp video that could prepare me to become a Navy SEAL. It took a while, but we finally found a movie, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. We hadn't seen it, and as a bonus, it was partially filmed in New Orleans so we could enjoy identifying spots that we knew.
Midway, my husband fixed us a HUGE, elaborate breakfast and we ate in bed and watched the movie. We chatted a lot about all sorts of things, some serious and some silly because he needed to keep me awake. During the movie, the sky changed from dark to bright, and afterwards we drifted off to a peaceful sleep. It was one of my favorite moments in my life, but not for the normal reasons. I knew it when it was happening. I remember a mom once commenting on something that we were talking about, she said, "It's the big things that become little, and the little things that become big."
Regardless of how tough something might seem, remember that even the big deals will pass. What really deserves our attention and should stop us in our tracks are those little moments when love proves itself to be real.

44 games in the released part, 36 games in the future part. Last months participation wasnt the hottest, probably due to the all-overshadowing Next Gen console launch. Hopefully we are back to form in december with more impressions and more voters!
We will also have a vote on the best games of the month in the last week of the thread. The results for june can be seen below. For some first time readers that wonder about my definition of "recent": We didnt have any major Indie thread in 2012 on GAF, so we are also catching all the titles that slipped through our net last year.
Addtionally, there will be an end of the year voting starting mid-december. Check back in the thread if you are interested.
Anyway, have fun with the games from this month!
| 4. Voting Results "Best of December" |
Hey! I assume you are new in this thread series and want to see what we were up to? Or you didnt have enough time to play through all of the games from the last month but still want to catch up with the best ones? Then this list is for YOU! These were the games we enjoyed the most in the previous thread, voted on by the community (More thorough descriptions and impressions in the previous thread, especially the last few pages with the voting):
The Stanley Parable (7 votes) - Free Demo/ $14,99 (PC)
It's officially a "first person exploration" game developed by Galactic Cafe with brilliant narration by Kevin Brighting. I would describe it as a narrative experiment. Not everyone will enjoy this game -- in particular, logical and emotional types. It's a suitably meta experience that parodies many video game tropes and for the sheer quality definitely deserves this spot.
Beyond Perception (4 votes) - Free Prototype Demo (PC, Mac, Linux)
First Person Puzzle where you're in an art gallery and can explore inside the paints and solve mainly based perspective puzzles. Paying attention to the pictures before going inside them is useful because they have some tips in how to solve the puzzles.
Cave! Cave! Deus Videt (4 votes) - Free Prototype (PC, Mac, Linux)
It's a visual novel and a very unique one. It deals with Bosch's Triptych of the Temptation of St. Anthony and .. that's all I can say about it.
Fakteur (3 votes) - Free (PC)
Charming artstyle, interesting NPC's with good backstories and the ability to change the fate of their lives. Game of The Month and likely to be in my list of best of the year.
Paradis Perdus (3 Votes) - Free Alpha (PC, Mac, Linux)
Exploration game à la Dear Esther with a frightening twist and a trippy Darwinia-like aesthetic.
Paradise (3 Votes) - Free (PC, Browser)
Create Cat. Enter Cat. Create Pizza. Exit Cat.

I noticed there are a few noteworthy, and relatively unknown, projects that deserve a shoutout here because I feel that they share a common interest with the people in this thread. I talked to the guy from Pixabyte and MetaVendetta and both are very enthusiastic about the things they love and figured you might appreciate the shoutout as well. If you enjoy anything here or want to give feedback, let these guys know via their websites or also here in this thread. If you appreciate something, let people know. A heads up can sometimes very valuable.
This is a monthly podcast series that presents notable Indie Game soundtracks. A likeable host and guests, a fantastic track selection, interesting discussions and a focus for Indies will make this one a mainstay in my monthly threads.

Developing Gyrfalcon surveys and monitoring for Alaska
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Alaska Department of Fish and Game
- By:

AbstractWe developed methods to monitor the status of Gyrfalcons in Alaska. Results of surveys and monitoring will be informative for resource managers and will be useful for studying potential changes in ecological communities of the high latitudes. We estimated that the probability of detecting a Gyrfalcon at an occupied nest site was between 64% and 87% depending on observer experience and aircraft type (fixed-wing or helicopter). The probability of detection is an important factor for estimating occupancy of nesting areas, and occupancy can be used as a metric for monitoring species' status. We conclude that surveys of nesting habitat to monitor occupancy during the breeding season are practical because of the high probability of seeing a Gyrfalcon from aircraft. Aerial surveys are effective for searching sample plots or index areas in the expanse of the Alaskan terrain. Furthermore, several species of cliff-nesting birds can be surveyed concurrently from aircraft. Occupancy estimation also can be applied using data from other field search methods (e.g., from boats) that have proven useful in Alaska. We believe a coordinated broad-scale, inter-agency, collaborative approach is necessary in Alaska. Monitoring can be facilitated by collating and archiving each set of results in a secure universal repository to allow for statewide meta-analysis.

Last April, we told you about a number of new names that Samsung had registered and one of the names was the 'Galaxy Metrix'. Fast forward four months ahead and the Samsung Galaxy Metrix 4G is being added to the lineup at U.S. Cellular. The side-slider is equipped with a 4 inch Super AMOLED display and has a single-core 1GHz processor under the hood. A 4GB microSD card is included in the box and the handset has a 5MP camera on back and a 1.3MP shooter up front. Android 2.3 is installed, so there is no Ice Cream Sandwich here. The unit has 4G LTE connectivity.
$100 of that comes back to you in the form of a rebate. Take note that if you are a new U.S. Cellular customer, you are tying yourself up with a 2-year contract at that price. Current U.S. Cellular customers do not have to sign an additional contract after the first 2-year pact expires. And if you desire the white version of the phone, your after rebate cost is $179.
For current U.S. Cellular customers with a student heading back to school, or for the first time smartphone buyer, this would be a great deal, especially with the lack of handcuffs. For new customers, asking you to be tied up for 2 years with this device might be too much to ask for.
If the Samsung Galaxy Metrix 4G grabs your attention, you can get more information by clicking on the sourcelink.

My thoughts exactly, I was thinking it looked a LOT like the Epic, except without sprint on it. The only difference from the specs is LTE and it has a 1.3 MP Front instead of VGA front, everything else is down to the T.

Bad Side-loaded book breaks Kindle Indexer

Device: none
Same thing happened again today. Everything worked fine yesterday, but when I today sent 2 books and some news I downloaded with calibre I can't see any of my books any more. If I sort by 'Recent' or 'Title' I can't see any items. If I sort by 'Author' I can see all the news and the collections, but no books. I can see the books inside the collections and I can open them, but they are nowhere on the main screen.
I created some collection with calibre that I imported with CM yesterday and it worked fine. Today I didn't create or update any collections when I sent the new books. I only downloaded some news which I also sent. Maybe there is a bug there. I don't know, but I think I'm going to stick to stock firmware for now. Too much hassle just for some collections (something which should be standard from Amazon really).
When I reset the Kindle is the JB etc. still installed on it?

If hazardous chemicals were accidentally released and contaminated the air, would you know how to protect yourself and your family?
To shelter in place you need to:
1. Move everyone to an above ground room with the fewest windows and doors.
2. Shut off all fans, heating and air conditioning systems.
3. Cover doors, windows, and vents with plastic sheeting and duct tape.
4. Wet towels and place in cracks under doors.
5. Listen to the radio for updates and follow instructions from authorities carefully.
6. Do not leave until authorities tell you it is safe to leave your shelter or evacuate.
Having a prepared shelter-in-place kit allows you to react quickly.
The kit should include plastic sheeting cut to fit over your windows, duct tape, towels, bottles of water, snacks, flashlight, battery operated radio, extra batteries and scissors.
Shelter in place plans should not only be in place at home, they should be in place at businesses, churches, and schools.
Is there a shelter in place plan in your emergency response plan?
More information about how to shelter in place is available by calling 308-532-7383. You could also call LincUP Facilitator Lorre McKeone at 308-532-7246 to have a community leader come and speak about shelter in place to your community group or at your next safety meeting.

The INSiGHT™
Chiropractic Leadership Alliance (CLA) offers chiropractic technology that has been specifically developed to accomplish just that. CLA's comprehensive INSiGHT™ scanning technologies has been certified by the Space Foundation to prove a reliable, scientifically valid, quantitative and multidimensional representation of patient well-being. Chiropractors can now analyze a patient's condition more accurately, communicate findings more effectively – while allowing both the doctor and patient to track the effectiveness of treatment. The INSiGHT™ system also produces a detailed chiropractic report of findings that patients can use as a building block to map their progress as they pursue a healthy lifestyle. CLA's INSiGHT™ Technology comprises the following validated sensors for a comprehensive spine and nervous system analysis:
|neuroTHERMAL™ Scanner
|sEMG Static/Dynamic
|neuroPULSE™ HRV
|Wireless Dual Inclinometer
|This instrument monitors skin temperature to assess autonomic nervous system function
|This highly researched chiropractic tool provides accurate readings of paraspinal muscle activity and neuro-muscular energy expenditure.
|The neuroPULSE can be used to collect Heart Rate Variability data and monitor the balance and activity of the entire autonomic nervous system
|This equipment enables chiropractors to perform accurate spinal range-of-motion (ROM) measurements in a matter of seconds
|The algometer can be used to gauge the sensitivity of paraspinal tissues and map the patient's pain patterns.
|When used together, these chiropractic instruments can detect hidden patterns of stress and tension, shedding a light on internal changes in the body. By establishing a baseline and identifying potential problem areas, the INSiGHT™ technologies help chiropractors determine the most effective path when caring for each patient. Chiropractors and their patients can instantly review their results in a colorful, easy-to-understand COREscore report. This report brings to life the importance of chiropractic care for the individual. The unique scoring system produces a single number from the combined scan data, allowing the patient and the doctor to set realistic goals that focus on wellness instead of symptoms. The COREscore can be viewed on a patient's smartphones or on iPads or the internet. The versatility of the COREscore makes it the greatest referral tool in any chiropractic office as patients track and discuss their improvements with friends and family. Daily stress can damage health by creating fatigue, back pain, lowered stress resistance and weight gain. Accurately measuring the effects of stressors on the nervous system allows practioners to provide patients with better care and more tangible feedback. This provides the sort of ongoing value that turns one-time patients into long-term advocates.
Sample CoreScore Reporting
Dr. Fletcher discusses the value of the COREscore™
"The INSiGHT™ addresses a chiropractor's need of objective evaluation of neuro-spinal function related to vertebral subluxation."

The Brothers Karamazov (Paperback)
The award-winning translation of Dostoevsky's last and greatest novel.
About the Author
Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky were awarded the PEN/ Book-of-the-Month Translation Prize for The Brothers Karamazov and have also translated Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment, Notes from Underground, Demons, and The Idiot.
Praise For…
"[Dostoevsky is] at once the most literary and compulsively readable of novelists we continue to regard as great . . . The Brothers Karamazov stands as the culmination of his art--his last, longest, richest and most capacious book. [This] scrupulous rendition can only be welcomed. It returns to us a work we thought we knew, subtly altered and so made new again."--Donald Fanger, Washington Post Book World
"It may well be that Dostoevsky's [world], with all its resourceful energies of life and language, is only now--and through the medium of this translation--beginning to come home to the English-speaking reader." --John Bayley, The New York Review of Books
"Heartily recommended to any reader who wishes to come as close to Dostoevsky's Russian as it is possible."--Joseph Frank, Princeton University
"Far and away the best translation of Dostoevsky into English that I have seen . . . faithful . . . extremely readable . . . gripping."--Sidney Monas, University of Texas

If you've spent a New Years Day in the Deep South, then you know that nothing starts the year off right like a "mess o' greens." For luck and good fortune, you simply must have black-eyed peas and greens on the first day of the year; oh, and don't forget the cornbread to soak up the "pot likker" -- the liquid the greens are cooked in.
Actually, you'll get a lot more than just good luck from your New Years greens. The cruciferous veggies usually found in the stewpot are a concentrated source of good health as well. Collards, kale and mustard greens -- the classic triumvirate -- provide a plenitude of protection against many of the ills that might befall you in the ensuing year.
As we all know by now the cruciferous family of vegetables, which encompasses broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage as well as many greens, plays a vital role in cancer prevention. It is here that greens shine the brightest; they provide nutritional support for the three body systems that are involved with cancer development and prevention: detox, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.
The array of antioxidant phytonutrients to be found in these three greens is staggering -- well over 45 and counting. They contribute to a reduction in oxidative stress and chronic inflammation, two factors that can lead to numerous maladies, including cataracts and heart disease but especially cancer. These same compounds can make a marked contribution to lowering cholesterol, by binding the bile acids in our intestines to allow them to pass safely out of the body. And by contributing to a higher effectiveness in both phases of the body's detox process, they can provide protection against the environmental stresses that our bodies inevitably endure in this polluted age.
So even if you live in cold northern climes and have never whiled away a muggy Southern afternoon in a rocking chair on the porch with a mint julep in hand, it's time to get yourself a mess o' greens on a regular basis. Here are a few tips to get you started:
Always choose greens that are bright and crisp, with no yellow or brown spots, and no discolored edges or small holes. Colors should be vibrant; yellow leaves means they're long past fresh, and have lost much of their nutritive value.
If you can, select smaller leaves rather than larger -- they're sweeter and less bitter.
Let the leaves sit for a few minutes after you chop them, before using; it amplifies the nutritional value. And cooking accomplishes the same thing -- cooked greens have a far denser nutritional profile.
Store for no more than a few days, in the coldest part of the fridge, in a zip-lock bag with most of the air squeezed out.
Check Your Greens IQ
Did you know that:
... greens were growing wild in Asia and the Mediterranean before recorded history?
... when the first African slave ship arrived in Virginia in 1619, collards were already abundant?
... during the Middle Ages, kale was one of the most common vegetables across all of Europe?
... plantation slaves used ham hocks in their greens because their masters would not eat these "scraps"?
... in Brazil, a juice made from collards is favored as a remedy for gout and bronchitis?
... on Halloween in Ireland, the traditional dish called colcannon is made with mashed potatoes and kale?
... mustard greens are used to remove heavy metals from contaminated soil in hazardous waste sites?
... an old superstition in the South holds that hanging a collard leaf over the door will ward off evil spirits?
Mess o' Slow-Cooked Greens
This traditional Southern dish is perfect with a roast chicken and mashed potatoes... and of course, black-eyed peas!
2 cups organic low-sodium chicken broth
4 bunches fresh greens (collard, kale, mustard),
stems removed and coarsely chopped
6 whole cloves garlic, peeled
4 spring onions, cut into one-inch pieces
1 smoked ham hock (or use a smoked turkey drumstick)
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
In a large heavy pot, bring broth to a boil. Add remaining ingredients, return to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and barely simmer for about 1-1/2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Remove ham hock (or turkey drumstick); shred the meat, discarding all skin, fat and bones, and return meat to pot. Crush garlic cloves with a fork and give the whole pot a good stir.
Serves four.
Spicy Kale & Pinto Bean Soup
A tasty treat that makes a perfect light supper paired with a crunchy green salad and a whole wheat baguette...
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 small brown onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon ancho chile powder
3 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh red jalapeno
6 cups organic vegetarian broth
2 bunches kale, stems removed and leaves chopped
2 cans organic pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Heat oil in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and chile powder, cook until onions are barely translucent, stirring often, about five minutes. Add garlic and jalapeno and cook, stirring, for another minute. Add broth and bring to a boil. Add kale and pinto beans, bring back to a boil, then reduce heat and keep at a high simmer until kale is wilted and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
Remove from heat, stir in cilantro, and serve immediately.
Serves four.

Coming up for air
Postal line bitching aside, I'm seriously grateful to all the fantastic customers who have helped to make my little shop such a success this year. Thanks guys, for the wedding in Wales you collectively paid for and for the new master and Bean's room carpet we're installing in a month or two. And thanks for the fact that you all bought SO! MUCH! this holiday season that I don't have to decide between nice new carpet or new shutters for Bean, little man gets BOTH. Not that he'll notice or care, I realize . . . but this makes me one happy mama-to-be. He's going to have a kick-ass nursery and my little shop and all my amazing customers made that possible.
I make what I like and the world likes it enough to buy it. That little fact still blows my mind and makes me feel lucky every single day.
Aside from Etsy, there has been the usual holiday chaos over her in IndieHomeEc land: preparing for the big feast which will take place at Boy and my house this year (YIKES!), researching recipes and finding ingredients, wrapping up presents and doing last minute checks to make sure we haven't forgotten anyone or anything, trimming the tree, mailing out holiday cards (110!!!) and, starting tonight, BAKING LIKE A MADWOMAN! (Not to mention attempting to do my yoga every night because I feel like a whale when I don't, trying to stop myself from buying every cute Bean thing I see and failing miserably, visiting the doctor every four weeks and you know, just generally cooking a baby.)
How are your holiday preparations going?

I'm so totally sucking at holiday preparations. I still don't have gifts for Taylor's brothers. All I've done is get the tree up and send out Christmas cards.
And congrats on the Etsy stuff! It's all so pretty! I need to order something!

Congrats on your Etsy shop!
My holiday prep is going. Decorated, most of the cards out, most of the gifts bought, most of the gifts wrapped, some of the cookies made, but always more that could be done!

That's amazing! Congratulations! I'm still holding strong at one sale. YES!
Thanks for the Christmas card, by the way. You and your family (including Bean!) are so damn cute.

Happy holidays to you. I've got two super easy recipes. There is a lemon thyme cookie on the food network that I took to our cookie exchange at work and it was wonderful. Extremely easy cookies to make. I added a 1/3 cup more sugar and along with the zested and juiced lemon, I added a few more teaspoons of the italian lemon juice in the bottle. It's stronger that good old real lemon. 1/2 tsp of sea salt and less black pepper. The cookies are crisp and are great with drinks or tea. Not to sweet not to bland, etc. The other new recipe I kind of invented myself. I don't normally eat pork but everyone wanted roast so I went to Costco and got country pork shoulder ribs. Brown them like you would pork chops after marinating overnight. Choose your own spices just cover them thoroughly and I add in a dash or two of raw apple cider vinegar and EVOO. After you have browned them on all sides. Remove to a platter and in the same skillet add marsala, porchini mushrooms, 2 pkgs of mrs grass vegetable soup mix, and a can of light cream of mushroom soup. Put meat back into sauce and let it simmer on low. I served it with basmati rice and steamed green beans.

THE Tesco Extra at Poole's Tower Park is to unveil an extensive revamp.
The changes are part of the 'Building a Better Tesco' programme which will see 650 stores refurbished.
Tesco says there will be an improved shopping environment and new services including a pizza counter and a new-look technology and entertainment area and F&F clothing department.
Some of the changes are new concepts being rolled out nationally by Tesco, including new look meat and fish counters, grocery, fruit and veg and bakery departments. There will also be a Timpson concession for shoe repairs and dry cleaning. A family-friendly Giraffe restaurant is due to open in the autumn.
An official launch takes place on Monday, August 11, 10am, with Poole's lifeboat station due to receive £500 and customers treated to cakes and refreshments.
Store manager Andy Hossack said: "All the changes have been made with our customers in mind and will mean shoppers will be able to get the best possible experience when they shop with us."

The business that
The latest of his swag of blue ribbon properties to hit the market is the historic Richmond Post Office in NSW.
Associated with the NSW Colonial Architect's Office under Scottish architect James Barnet, Richmond Post Office forms part of an important group of works by Barnet, who was a key practitioner of the Victorian Italianate architectural style in NSW.
Higgins bought the post office in August 2006 for $2.14 million. The historic landmark is also smack bang in the middle of Sydney's polo set, just five minutes' drive from the Windsor polo fields.
While well-heeled polo-loving locals had their fingers crossed for a fancy restaurant to open in the post office under Higgins' watch, no such culinary offering appeared. In fact, the post office has stayed empty for the past six years. Real estate agents in Richmond are not the first that Higgins has kept busy of late.
In October last year, Higgins listed a chunk of his sprawling Windsor polo empire. The offering – still up for sale with its $18 million price tag – comprises six properties, including eight houses and two polo fields plus pavilions. Higgins will retain his house and stabling for 42 horses on about 160 hectares.
Then there's the small matter of trying to sell his home north of Sydney. He listed Marara, the largest waterfront on Pittwater, with $40 million hopes last May, but is still saddled with it. "Doesn't bother me a bit," Higgins shrugged to Rear Window. "It's not a great time to be selling. If somebody wants the property, that's the price – come and buy it!"

I have a question, about the perk leveling maps. I downloading me Perk Leveling Maps. But when i want to leveling my perk at this map, i dont become points of my perks. Commando, i must killing Stalker. I killing stalker at the perk leveling map, but i dont become points at the "kill stalker" section.
Can anyone help me? I dont become points when i want leveling my perk at the leveling perk map.
Sorry for my bad english. i come from germany.
Perk leveling maps do not work anymore. Maps have to be added to a "whitelist" in order to have perks progress.
Go to synaesthesia.
but i want to leveling my perks faster. how can i do?
The only thing you can do is play more often.
Go to synaesthesia.
Here's my method.
Medic: Play with your friend and leave 1 clot at the end of a wave. Let it attack your friend and you keep healing him. Faster but insanely boring.
Support: Play in farm in suicidal solo. Use bloat-ed mut. Gather the bloats in line then aim their chests(kills faster than shooting at the abdomen) Stop at wave 7(unless you can handle FP). Rinse and repeat.
Sharpshooter: Play in relatively small map(manor/west london is best imo) in suicidal solo. Use clotbuster mut. You can get 400-500 kills until wave 7 if I remember correctly.
Commando: No shortcut due to the lack of stalker mutator.
Berserker: I'm not sure if this is faster, but I used poundemonium mutator in beginner mode.
Firebug: same as support. Use grenades as well as they count as fire damage.
IceStormV2 7 years ago#6
For Firebug and Support use the bloat only mutator on the highest difficulty you can play. Quit after wave 5, that's when other monsters will start to appear. Bloats high HP and large hitbox should have you swiming in damage points.
For sharpshooter, use the clot only mutator. you should be able to headshot every last one of them with the 9mm. again quit after wave 5.
For medic, just go online and find bad players. This one is simple.
Beserkers can just play normally. The fastest way for them is to go into solo and just suicide charge the monsters. you'll die alot, but you'll rake in damage fast and won't have to worry as much about waiting for waves to end if your in solo.
Commando is by far the hardest to level. no stalker only mutator means you gotta grind the crap out of the normal game and commandos can't rake in damage nearly as fast as Beserkers. Best idea is to go online. 6 people means 6x more stalkers and you can pick them off with your perk before non-commandos can even see them. If you have the stalker count done but not the damage. do what supports do and go with the bloat mutator.

"IceStorm... YOU ARE A GOD!!!" -Too many people to count
You didn't have to repeat half the things I said...
CommunismFTW 7 years ago#8
Or y'know, you can just play it and rank up as you get better and more hours in.
Christs may come, and Christs may go, but Caesar is forever
"you can just play it and rank up as you get better and more hours in."
LilFuniAZNBoi 7 years ago#10
If you are looking for the cheap no fun way of leveling your perks, then look for a rare "instant level 6" server I came across or you can use a cheat engine and since the level stats are client side, you can change the values of damage, headshots, stalkers killed and health healed, and give yourself level 6.

Kids Ain't Learning Much Knowledge in College
A new book confirms the glaringly obvious: Students don't learn much from college text books.
According to the recently released, "Academically Adrift: Limited Learning on College Campuses," students that continue their education at an institution of higher learning, aren't learning anything more than how to tap a keg and master the mid-day nap.
The book is comprised of data taken from surveys, transcripts, and test results from 2,300 college students on 29 college campuses. The depressing (though completely non-shocking) results show that 45% of students didn't learn anything over the course of their first two years of college, and 36% of college students didn't learn anything in their entire college career.
Interesting, right?
The authors of "Academically Adrift" are either making a bold and valiant effort to spark a change in the education system, or letting recent college graduates know just how stupid they are for volunteering to be a member of Sallie Mae's army of lunch money-giving bitches for the next twenty years.
Surveys complied for the book show that most teachers are too entrenched in their own research to care much about their classes or students; and most students are too rooted in their binge drinking and sleeping habits to care about academics.
The most hilarious and sadly accurate statistic shows that the survey's students spend 75% of their time socializing and sleeping, while dedicating only 16% of their precious time to studying and attending class.
"How much are students actually learning in contemporary higher education? The answer for many undergraduates, we have concluded, is not much," write the authors, Richard Arum, professor of sociology and education at New York University, and Josipa Roksa, assistant professor of sociology at the University of Virginia. For many undergraduates, they write, "drifting through college without a clear sense of purpose is readily apparent."
The students that participated in the study also graduated with an extremely respectable average GPA of 3.2, which either shows college students aren't being challenged or they're wicked smart.
I personally had a roommate who achieved Dean's List senior year, after skipping random weeks of class to nurse hangovers, sleep, play Call of Duty, drink and nap. It was strangely impressive.
The authors are entirely correct about the fact the majority of contemporary college students don't have a clear direction of what they want to do with their lives. This couldn't have been more obvious over the course of the past year, with 20-somethings getting a lot of attention for their career indecisiveness, blasé attitude and idealistic pursuit of their desired but improbable careers.
Now we have a study, complete with numbers, quotes, and excessive data, proving students know weekly drink specials better than Managerial Accounting. However it is refreshing to note that the study gives some acknowledgment to uninspired teachers.
What's depressing about "Academically Adrift" is the paradox that the book presents. The data shows that nearly half of the college students aren't learning anything of academic merit while pursuing their degree, and to compound the problem they don't know what to do after college. Yet, if they don't go to college and pursue a degree they will be shunned in the working community, even though they might possess just as much, or more knowledge than the average college graduate.
The truth is college is much more than a place of higher learning. The four years young men and women spend away from home with a veiled sense of independence is an important learning experience in itself. The experience of college can't be measured solely in a students aptitude in Calculus. Sometimes those four years bring with it a necessary lesson in common sense, maturity and responsibility.
Granted it shouldn't be the only lesson a student learns, especially with school's exceedingly outrageous tuition and fees, and the crushing debt that follows.
But until something changes dramatically in the education system, or in the attitudes of 20-somethings, this book will just become a reminder of a huge problem that has no solution in sight.
