Sam & Jason part & Jerry's plan rages on
It's so hard to listen to Sam go on and on about being unable to forgive Jason. I guess Sam forgot about the time when she watched Jake get kidnapped. Funny how Jason forgave her – and that was pretty unforgivable. Yes, what Jason did to John Mc was wrong. And yes, it contributed to Sam losing her child. But was it worse than what Sam did to young Jake? Not so much.
What in the world is Jerry up to? He's clearly ill. Can that be the reason for taking Robin? Perhaps Jerry contracted some serious illness and he needs Robin to find a cure.
That being said, it's obvious that Jerry has something big in mind. I think it all revolves around Jerry's health issue. What bothers me is the way Jerry is taking Joss' life in his hands. This little girl isn't the picture of health. So the question is – why did Jerry take Joss' life into his hands? Answer – he didn't. He protected them from whatever is to come. Jerry did what he did so Joss and Alexis won't be infected with whatever he's unleashing on the unsuspecting people of PC.
Here's one of my many problems with Jerry's scheme. Leaving Carly unprotected will make Joss a motherless child. And as for Alexis – will her daughters be infected? More than likely. I can see Jerry killing Sam, but not Molly and Kristina.
It seems like someone would connect the dots by now. The only connection between Joss and Alexis is Jerry. Jason or Carly should figure it out soon. Also, everyone knows that Jerry hid out at Wyndemere at one time. So when will someone figure all this out?
Poor Ewen just isn't the typical 'bad boy.' He's clearly affected by Jerry's devious scheme. Ewen is a good man in a bad situation. He's so nervous and guilty. How this guy sleeps at night is beyond me.
Speaking of Ewen, how did he manage to get into Carly's house undetected? Doesn't she have an alarm system? Given the life Carly has lived, I would expect an alarm at the very least. I guard would make more sense.
That being said, Jason knows Ewen is hiding something. He's sure to tell Elizabeth the suspicions. Jason has no problem sharing what's on his mind, so, that in itself could bring Jason and Elizabeth closer together. Jason won't let up on Ewen until he learns the truth. But, if Jason plays it wrong, he could drive Elizabeth right into Ewen's arms.
So Sam and Jason are divorcing (yay). And Ewen is a baddie. So it stands to reason that Jason and Elizabeth could possibly reunite. Jason sure didn't waste time telling Elizabeth of his status. And Sam showing up at the ER with Alexis (and John in tow) spoke volumes. Sam can say what she will, but it appears that she's over Jason.
In actor news, watch for the return of Ingo Rademacher (Jax) this week. Kirsten Storms also returns soon as Maxie Jones.

It is customary for Legionaries of Christ and Regnum Christi members to head their correspondence with the phrase,
"Your Kingdom Come!" This salutation, a familiar line from the
Lord´s prayer, sums up the apostolic thrust of the Regnum Christi movement. It points us in the direction of
winning the culture for Christ.In his November 6 catechesis on
Psalm 97(98), Pope John Paul II reflected on the meaning
of this phrase for all Christians. A Zenit news dispatch
quotes him saying: "This is our great hope and our
invocation: ´Your Kingdom come!´ -- a Kingdom of peace, justice,
and serenity, which will re-establish the original harmony of creation."
The Holy Father teaches that the "certainty that God intervenes
in history and will have the last say, is what
constitutes the foundation of the believer´s serenity," Zenit reported.The Holy
Father´s insights reassure us of the Lord´s providence and should
grant all Christians -- but especially Legionaries and Regnum Christi members -- confidence as they seek to live
their vocation of prayer and service. Your Kingdom Come!

This lamp came home from an estate with my husband. He thought it was artful and as I look at it I see his point. The tube which emulate cast iron (although I don't think it is...see the last photo, look closely at the finish, it is hand applied, a dark reddish black). The tube splay out top and bottom and have a band wound around he middle which appears to be brass wire as does the tassel. I think it looks like something from the '50's but I could be mistaken. I am looking for some help from someone knowing more about lamps! Please give me your insights. Notice that it has a big brass ball contained in the splayed "iron" uprights. The shade it came with was clearly not original...

Both raw and vegan, the Cinnamon Crispies from One Lucky Duck taste more strongly of maple than cinnamon, but that's perfectly fine by me. $8.50 for a 6-ounce bag, the crispies are crushed up into bite-sized pieces and ideal for snacking or mixing into a batch of vanilla ice cream. They've got a deft crunch and are made from organic buckwheat, maple syrup, maple powder and cinnamon. A trace of vanilla chases each bite and the cinnamon is quite faint. Crispies are also offered in both chocolate and vanilla varieties.

Amazon Frustrates
Amazon (AMZN) has to be near the top of the list of stocks that frustrate. This is the third time I can remember the stock hitting both my downside price target and upside price target after hours, or after hours and within the first few hours of regular trading. The pattern has been lower, then higher. It is important to note, however, that AMZN is doing something different today: It faded away those after-hours gains in the very early going. Support held near Tuesday's closing levels, which I view as $268 rather than the $260 level being quoted because that close was based on a spike lower in the very last second of trading. Another earnings release came a few seconds too early, perhaps -- better than a few minutes, or even an hour early, I suppose.Amazon (AMZN) Source: StockCharts.com View Chart » View in New Window »
I am down on my position, but I have bought back the short February 1 $305 calls and February 1 $240 puts. I am now left with a March 15 $265 puts/$280 call straddle. I will make changes to this, but there is no hurry today, so I'll study the chart for the next day or two, then look to make adjustments late Friday or at the start of next week....214 more words left in this article.

Well, I'm a fan, as you can probably see! And I think I will continue making blocks until I have a decent sized lap quilt. Not only do I get to use up a boat load of scraps, but I get quilt each block as I go and not have to stress over that sometimes overwhelming step at the end! Wanna try this technique for yourself? Go here.... and start sorting your scraps!
As a side note, my blocks are only 10" square... I think Penny makes 15" blocks. Just make whatever size floats your boat~

3 Ways to Avoid Biting Off Your Nails while Waiting for Your College Admissions Letter
It's March, and that means that Spring is on the horizon. It also means that college admissions officers are making their final decisions, sealing the envelopes and getting them ready to head off to all of the eagerly awaiting applicants any time now.
On the home front, you're probably going a little crazy inside. After all, you've spent half of your high school career trying to figure out how to get into college, how to score higher on the ACT or SAT, and how to write the perfect college essay.
Your nerves could eat you alive as you refresh your admissions status on your college of choice's website. So, instead of biting your nails down so low you can't even open a can of Coke, take our words of wisdom on how to handle the wait for your college admissions letter .
1. Get a hobby.
Most high schoolers have access to tons of extra curricular activities. If you're already involved in something, maybe it's the musical, the mathletes or lacrosse–whatever it is–pump up your involvement. Make a goal for yourself to improve in something. Challenge yourself to sustain a note longer, do harder math in your head or run a quicker mile. That way, your mind will be less focused on your admissions letter and more about how you can achieve what's actually in your control at that moment.
If you're not involved with an after school activity, make your own. There's one resource most every high school has no matter what and that's students. Join up with friends who have the same interest as you and form your own club. As long as you're involved in something that piques your interest, your nerves will have the chance to relax while you await the college's decision.
2. Treat yourself.
Treat yourself to something that you don't usually allow yourself but has proven to relax you. Perhaps it's an extra hour of television, a box of chocolates, or a massage. With the stress of high school and the college search, so many students barely have enough time to just sit down and relax. Allot some time for yourself to do what eases your mind. For some people it might be getting in exercise during a time when you usually force yourself to sit at your desk to do homework. For others, it's just allowing some time to veg out. Either way, give yourself a little relaxation during the week if you find yourself freaking out about your college acceptance letter.
3. Plan your spring break.
No matter what you're doing over spring break, you can focus your nervous energy on planning it out day by day. If you're heading to an exotic destination, do some research to find out which tourist attractions most excite you–snorkeling, ropes course or beachside yoga class. If you're staying put during spring day, plan out some things you've been meaning to do for a while but haven't had the time–clean out your closet, visit that museum you've always wanted to explore. Wherever you go, planning a detailed schedule for spring break will most definitely give you something fun to do while keeping your mind off of that admissions letter.

Piper Perabo will soon be headed down the aisle!
The "Covert Affairs" star, 36, is engaged to boyfriend Stephen Kay, according to People.
Stephen hails from New Zealand, and is a director and co-executive producer on Piper's USA Network spy show.
PHOTOS: Stars Who Got Engaged In 2013
The soon-to-be married couple is "very happy," a source told the mag.
Piper recently spoke about balancing a demanding job with her love life when dishing on her "Covert Affairs" character's (Annie Walker) new romance with Auggie Anderson (played by Christopher Gorham).
PHOTOS: Undercover! The Hot Stars Of 'Covert Affairs'
"As a woman who has a sort of high-powered job myself, I know how complicated a relationship can be even if it's with somebody you're working with," she told AccessHollywood.com during a summer set visit. "Your hours are long, the stresses are crazy and so I kinda wanted to see how the 'Covert Affairs' writers would imagine that."
"I think it's also an interesting thing to explore especially if your partner is also in a high-powered stressful job and how do you kind of manage that and keep it romantic and spontaneous," she added.
"Covert Affairs" airs Tuesdays at 9/8c on USA.

Ashley Giles has decided to resign as an England selector after being overlooked for the national team coach role, with Nottinghamshire's director of cricket Mick Newell joining the four-man panel in his place.
Giles was a frontrunner for one of the highest profile jobs in English cricket but the England and Wales Cricket Board instead appointed Lancashire coach Peter Moores last weekend.
The former England spinner, who was added to the four-man panel in January 2008 and took over as head coach of England's limited-overs sides four years later, clearly feels he is unable to continue in his current role.
"Ashley Giles has informed ECB today that he intends to step down from the panel and I would like to thank him for all his hard work and dedication to the England cause over the past six years both as a selector, and more recently as our limited overs coach," ECB national selector James Whitaker said.
Giles will be succeeded by Newell, who was himself considered for the position vacated by Andy Flower following England's Ashes whitewash Down Under, to work alongside Whitaker, Moores and Angus Fraser.
"We welcome Mick to the panel and his passion, cricketing knowledge and in-depth understanding of our county game will be invaluable as we seek to identify potential international talent and develop outstanding England teams across all three formats of the game," Whitaker added.
Newell, who has served as a coach on England Lions and Under-19s tours, is thrilled to be taking on the role.
"It's a tremendous privilege and a great honour to be invited to join the England selection panel and I am really looking forward to working more closely with James, Peter and Angus," he said.
"I would also like to thank Nottinghamshire CCC for their support in allowing me to take on this role and play a part in shaping the future direction of the England team."
Meanwhile, Joe Root will head to English cricket's headquarters with Yorkshire on Sunday looking to bat himself into selection for the international summer.
The 23-year-old has not played first-class cricket since breaking his thumb on England's tour of the West Indies earlier this year - an injury which forced him out of the World Twenty20.
He made a successful return for Yorkshire's second string this week though, scoring eight and 61 as they faced Lancashire, and he has now been named in their first-team squad for the LV= County Championship clash with Middlesex at Lord's.
He is part of a 13-man party selected by coach Jason Gillespie, with Tykes' captain Andrew Gale admitting he may have to drop himself to accommodate Root.
Root heads into the game needing 149 runs for 4,000 in first-class cricket, with his performance likely to be under particular scrutiny as new England coach Moores puts together ideas for his first squad.
Root was dropped from the Test team at the end of the disastrous Ashes tour of Australia, but is regarded highly within the England set-up.
England's season starts with a one-day clash against Scotland on May 9.
England one-day bowler Chris Jordan has signed a two-year contract extension with Sussex.
The 25-year-old broke into the England side at the end of last season and toured Australia with them, as well as playing at the World T20.
"I really enjoyed my first season with Sussex and hopefully I can continue putting in solid performances and to help us be successful, especially with our strong start to the campaign," he said.

Former teammates Hudson, Mulder trade compliments
ATLANTA -- Tim Hudson spent the earliest years of his career in the same Oakland rotation as Barry Zito and Mark Mulder, a pair of first-round selections who had the potential to have legendary careers. Known as the "Big Three," they drew comparisons with Atlanta's great trio of Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and John Smoltz.
But Hudson ended up the only member of the trio to be healthy enough and effective enough to be great over an extended period of time.
In leading the Braves to an 8-1 victory over the Nationals on Tuesday night, Hudson became the 110th pitcher in Major League history to record 200 wins. Zito is 36 wins from this mark despite totaling 43 from 2007 to 2011. Mulder's promising career included 103 victories before a series of injuries to his left shoulder forced him to retire.
"You look at [Hudson's] numbers and the years he has had year after year, it's pretty remarkable the way he's won," Mulder said. "Not a whole lot has changed since our Oakland days, to be honest with you. He's still doing a lot of the same things."
Mulder, now an analyst for ESPN, spent some time with Hudson before Wednesday night's broadcast of the contest between the Braves and Nationals at Turner Field. The two pitched together in Oakland from 2000 to 2004.
"I feel very lucky and blessed to have been able to do it," said Hudson. "Mark, he was the best pitcher I had seen. I still say he's one of the best I've seen. His career got cut short with an arm injury. He could be well past 200 right now if he had stayed healthy. Zito has had his problems and struggles for a few years in San Francisco. It seems like he's got his stuff straight. It's just being consistent. It's hard to have a few bad years in a row and accomplish something like that. I'm just lucky."
Hudson's most significant setback came when he missed the final two months of the 2008 season and first five months of the 2009 season recovering from Tommy John surgery, but the 37-year-old right-hander has continued to be one of the game's top pitchers since returning to Atlanta's rotation.
Hudson has recorded 54 wins and a 3.25 ERA in the 108 starts he made since returning from the surgery on Sept. 1, 2009. The only Major League pitchers with more wins during that span are Justin Verlander (67), CC Sabathia (63), Roy Halladay (57), Gio Gonzalez (56) and David Price (55).
"To play 10 or 15 years in the league, you have to re-invent yourself a time or two along the way," Hudson said. "That's something [you have] to do just in order to stay on top of yourself and the physical injuries that you come across throughout your career."

Last week, the California-based Center for Investigative Reporting published a report that trumpeted the headline: "State's community colleges spend millions on duplicative administrators."
"The state's 72 community college districts spend tens of millions of dollars on administrative positions that could be consolidated or shared by districts a short drive away," began the center's report.
The article then very quickly delved into its first example of such waste -- from our neck of the woods.
"Take the Riverside, Mt. San Jacinto and Desert community college districts, all in Riverside County," the report noted. "Together, they operate five colleges with three chancellor's offices, three human resources departments, three finance offices, three facilities departments and three academic affairs offices, not to mention three boards of trustees."
"If the three districts could consolidate and whittle their bureaucracies down to one chancellor, one board and one head of each big administrative office, the savings would total $4.9 million -- money that could, for example, pay for 960 additional class sections."
The article comes at a bad time for Mt. San Jacinto College, which recently informed the community that this year's summer school session will only offer so-called "mandated classes" due to its strained budget.
But in interviews with Mt. San Jacinto College leaders last week, they argued that the article's claims don't exactly add up.
Southwest County's recently elected board trustee, Tom Ashley -- who ran on a platform of offering more classes combined with fiscal austerity -- as well Roger Schultz, superintendent and president of Mt. San Jacinto College, said the article did not take into account the college's vast boundaries, its tailored efforts to meet local students' needs, nor its recent efforts to save money.
They both acknowledged there is always room for improvement, but added consolidating community college districts, at least for Southwest County, is not the best way to go.
They pointed out the Mt. San Jacinto Community College District encompasses a 1,700-square-mile area.
"That's a huge boundary," Ashley said, adding he is accessible in Southwest County, going to local events such as Chamber of Commerce meetings to network, brainstorm and improve.
He questioned whether a representative who lives in the desert-area of Riverside County would care so much about Southwest County if boundaries were joined.
"Do you really want to drive 2 1/2 hours to a board meeting to voice a complaint about something," he said. "I see the people in the city, saying, 'Hey, how can we share a swimming pool?' It's very locally oriented."
Schultz, in an emailed statement, noted the school finds ways to provide workers for local businesses, such as its emphasis on cultivating jobs for the region's booming wine industry.
"That's where local autonomy wins big for our students," he said.
Ashley also noted Mt. San Jacinto College's superintendent and president, Schultz, oversees both of the school's campuses and its two auxiliary learning centers.
"We don't have a Riverside model, where we have a chancellor, and then he has three presidents for each of his three campuses in Riverside," Ashley said.
Schultz noted the district trimmed summer offerings to provide more classes during peak fall and spring semesters. He added cost-saving measures undertaken recently include administrative positions reduced through attrition, cuts in employee transportation, and administrators and classified staff pay cuts.
Finally, Ashley -- a history teacher at Paloma Valley High School in Menifee -- said he is all for consolidating school districts when "there is a clear example of waste," and he does in fact have a local example to that end.
"The best example is in the Menifee-Perris valley," he said, listing all the districts therein: Perris Elementary, Nuview Union, Romoland Elementary, Menifee Union and Perris Union High.
"They all have overlapping boundaries and they crisscross each other," he said. "And if you add up all the students they service, that's 30,000 students, roughly equivalent to the Murrieta or Temecula school districts."

Helton, Arrenado homers have place in MLB lore
DENVER -- The consecutive second-inning home runs Thursday by Rockies veteran first baseman Todd Helton and rookie third baseman Nolan Arenado produced some age-difference trivia.
According to the Society for American Baseball Research Home Run Log, just eight times in Major League history, when it comes to back-to-back homers, has there been an age difference greater than the 17 years between Helton, 39, and Arenado, 22.
The greatest difference was 21 years, when the Giants' Hank Sauer, 41, and Orlando Cepeda, 20, went deep against the Giants on April 19, 1958. Three times has the difference been 20 years -- twice involving the Giants' Chris Speier, 20, and Willie Mays, 40, on May 14 and May 26, 1971, both times against the Dodgers. The other 20-year split came, famously, on Sept. 14, 1990, when Ken Griffey Sr., 40, homered in front of his 20-year-old son against the Angels.
The Reds' Frank Robinson was 20 and Bob Thurman was 39 when they homered against the Braves on Aug. 18, 1956. The 18-year differences involved the Red Sox's Gary Geiger, 23, and Ted Williams, 41, on July 27, 1960 against the White Sox; the Giants' Jack Clark, 23, and Willie McCovey, 41, against the Cubs on June 2, 1979' and the Phillies' Lou Marson, 22, and Matt Stairs, 40, against the Nationals on Sept. 28, 2008.
The 17-year gap between Helton and Arenado matched the differences of the Cardinals' Peanuts Lowrey, 35, and Dick Schofield, 17, against the Giants on Aug. 26, 1953; the Royals' Hal McRae, 41, and Bo Jackson, 24, against the Indians on May 2, 1984; the Tigers' Darrell Evans, 40, and Matt Nokes, 23, twice -- against the Indians on Sept. 1, 1987, and against the Orioles on Sept. 23, 1988 when each was a year older; the Blue Jays' Dave Winfield, 40, and John Olerud, 23, against the Indians on June 26, 1992; the Angles' Mike Trout, 20, and Torii Hunter, 37, against the Royals last July 25; and the Braves' Jason Heyward, 23, and Chipper Jones, 40, against the Padres last Aug. 16.

Eddie Lacy is the consensus top running back prospect in the 2013 NFL draft, but his long-awaited workout Thursday didn't help his chances to be a first-round pick.
The Alabama product ran the 40-yard dash in 4.57 and 4.60 seconds on his two attempts, according to NFL.com.
In addition to not delivering explosive speed, Lacy's overall conditioning was disappointing to scouts, per NFL.com analyst Bucky Brooks. Lacy was back on the field after a pulled hamstring prevented him from participating in Alabama's official pro day last month and from running at the Scouting Combine.
At 5-11, 230 pounds, Lacy is seen as a power runner with good juice. Even if he's not selected in the first round, he has a good shot at being a featured workhorse as a rookie.
Fellow Crimson Tide back Trent Richardson stepped into that rookie role with Cleveland last season, but Alabama product Mark Ingram has been more of a limited between-the-tackles option for New Orleans.
Lacy won't go as high as Richardson (No. 3 overall) and will fight to be a late-first rounder such as Ingram (28th overall). If Lacy goes in the first round, Denver (No. 28) and St. Louis (No. 22) are possible destinations in the 20s.

Content Insider 264 - Three Ring Circus
CES ...The Greatest Show on Earth
By Miles Weston!-- AddToAny BEGIN -->
Source - DigitalGallery
Everyone - except people who have a clown or big crowd phobia - loves the circus.
CES (Consumer Electronics Show) is one of the world's biggest circuses on the globe with acts of all shapes, sizes and quality; each hungering for the cheers of the crowd.
It isn't often you see a lawyer as the ringmaster, but Shapiro (Gary, head of CEA - Consumer Electronics Association) does a pretty good job of handling the tempermental acts.
The main acts (those in the center ring) are the big boys who pay bigger fees to put on their keynote speaker acts.
Just like the real circus, some of the acts are good, some bad, some What the ....!!!!
A few of the CES 2013 keynotes - Panasonic, Qualcomm, Samsung - were acts you found interesting, put you to sleep, dazzled, puzzled.
The others were phone and car guys.
The Good
Coming off a pretty rough year (you lose a couple of billion and smile), Panasonic president Kazuhiro Tsuga was the first to take the center ring with one of the more focused acts of CES.
Source - BigPictureBigSound
Even though he had the parade of paid personalities you expect at keynotes, Tsuga highlighted the company's new message as an eco-engineering company saying his people were committed to delivering innovative, eco and smart solutions to the market.
Sure, he showed off his new 56-in OLED TV; but he stayed focused on folks who buy stuff:
- "Your TV" that lets you personalize and customize, and deliver a range of service choices
- "Your Home" energy solutions that let you create, store, save, manage energy
- "Your Car" solutions for electric vehicles and connected automotive solutions
- "Your Business' B2B2C strategy for end-to-end solutions for retailers
- "Your Journey" avionic, in-flight entertainment, communications solutions
- "Your Community" informational kiosks, digital signage, business/industry energy solutions and global entertainment support like the Olympics, soccer
Source - Telereader
Of course, to show that Panasonic really understands what folks want, the company's North American boss, Joe Taylor, made a cameo appearance with TV personality Lisa Ling.
Oh yeah, and he lugged out a 20-in 4K tablet that someone said was compensating for certain inadequacies.
To quiet the snickering crowd, Tsuga proved he was serious about bringing the company back by saying, "If we are to achieve our goals, the imperative to transform and innovate has never been greater."
Hey he was honest, credible.
What the...
Microsoft's Steve Ballmer forgot he had turned over his normal keynote slot to Qualcomm's Paul Taylor and showed up anyway.
Good thing, because the mobile chipmaker's boss worked hard to make an IC (integrated circuit) look cool, hip.
Unfortunately, Ballmer didn't give Qualcomm any more lift than his Win 8 did for boosting PC sales.
Source - Cnet
Still, Jacobs was fired up to be on the stage - he said so - of course, you would be too if your company sold 11 billion parts over the years. Lots of them go into the 6.4 billion worldwide mobile devices. That number will soon pass the number of folks on our little blue orb.
Working hard to make a great first impression, Jacobs noted that 84 percent of the people say they can't live without their connected device.
To prove how popular their Snapdragon 800 processors are with faster WiFi links, advanced broadband wireless capabilities and speeds up to 150 MB/s, Jacobs brought in the big guns.
He had a parade of singers, dancers, drivers, actors, directors, gamers and ... Big Bird!
Source - Phonearena
Yes, Big Bird and friend helped blur the lines between the real world and virtual world ... It worked for us because at that point, we had no clue as to where we were!
Before our brain could settle down, Jacobs threw a recorded message from Archbishop Desmond Tutu at us talking about how mobile will have a "transformative effect" on health in Africa and around the globe.
With all that going on everywhere and sales growing 27 plus percent to $13B, it's no wonder Shapiro felt he simply had to have Qualcomm's Jacobs in one of circus' outer rings...at any cost.
It was "different!"
Wooing, Wowing
If you had just finished your fiscal year with a record $8B profit and soundly beating your lawsuit dancing partner, you'd probably be as upbeat as Samsung's System LSI business president, Stephen Woo.
While the company was hyping everything from washers, dryers, ultra- ultra-HD TVs, bendable displays, oh cripes everything; Woo and several of the firm's senior executives were on stage to show Apple what it was going to miss by ignoring their 8-core Exynos 5 Octa processor.
Source - mashable
Woo said the chip was designed to deliver a level of pure processing power never seen in a mobile device and would finally enable the units to do heavy-duty multitasking.
Designed for high-end smartphones and tablets, Woo said the processor would easily handle HD streaming movies without dropping frames and would deliver razor-sharp picture quality.
Focused on selling stuff with his keynote, Woo was wowing the audience with facts about the world's first mobile chip based on ARM's big.LITTLE architecture.
According to Woo, "It's an architecture that gives you all the power you want to run intensive apps, but is smart enough to conserve energy when running more basic tasks. Ultimately, we are saving energy and prolonging battery life."
Woo confirmed the whispers about the company's next-generation flexible display technology that would let you bend and fold your mobile devices.
Proving that Samsung is a whiz at engineering, but not so good at naming products, he said the new technology was called YOUM.
It's super cool and "virtually unbreakable" but there was no pricing or availability mentioned at Woo's keynote.
With a flawless sequel, Woo again wowed the crowd by introducing former U.S. president Bill Clinton to discuss how technology was advancing the Clinton Global Initiative. He was also at the keynote as ambassador of Samsung Hope for Children effort, which educates children in the developing world and partners with the Bill Clinton Foundation.
Source - mashable
Proving his ability steal the scene, Clinton joked, "When I became president, the average cellphone weighted five pounds."
During his 30-minutes of owning the stage, Clinton also pointed out that South Korea is number one in the world for download speeds and the U.S. is 15th. "Our speeds are one fourth of South Koreas," he said pointing out that technology would help the world move forward.
Turning to his other pet subjects, he urged the audience to help address gun control, climate change, and the ways technology can topple governments and boost developing economies and bigotry.
"The world has huge challenges," he said, "and I think technology can help solve them."
Too Big?
After hearing a number of the keynotes, some attendees said that CES was on its last leg, pointing out that organizations like Google, Apple and a few others weren't visible at the show.
You saw Google on every screen when folks started a search. They were busy your searches and clicks, fanning the flames of CES excitement.
Apple? Sheess, there were a gazillion great to mediocre to stupid cases for the iPhones, iPads. Every new phone, new tablet, every phablet was touted as the Apple killer.
We'd like to see Shapiro limit the amount of space any given company could rent for the show.
It's impossible to get around an exhibit that takes up 37 football fields to even hope to see a fraction of the 3,000 plus cocky to desperate exhibitors from around the globe.

CES doesn't need to have a bigger venue, Shapiro needs a bigger whip!

I see your point here, particularly if the turkey has already been cooked and would be eaten by somebody else or thrown away ( as per the 3-fold rule ). But from a practical point of view I'd find this difficult because I now find meat revolting, it really feels like eating flesh - so, yes there is some aversion but it's not causing harm to anyone - on the contrary, it means I'm not contributing to the suffering involved in breeding and killing animals for food.

Multiple reports paint picture of troubled former Gator Aaron Hernandez
The ongoing investigation into a murder investigation involving New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez has led to several disturbing reports about the former Gator star.
Massachusetts police are investigating the murder of a man who was a friend of Hernandez and the boyfriend of Hernandez's girlfriend's sister.
ABC News is reporting that Hernandez destroyed his home security system and cell phone, and had his house professionally cleaned before investigators entered his home with a search warrant.
And SI.com's Pete Thamel is reporting that former coaches worried about the circle of influence around Hernandez during his college days at Florida.
Hernandez has not been charged, although police had not ruled him out as a suspect on Thursday afternoon. The Boston Globe reported earlier Thursday that reports of "an imminent arrest" were incorrect.

Safe at FirstTrivia brain teasers have some element of trivia in them, but they are not just pure trivia questions.
In major league baseball, there are six ways for the batter to make it safely to first base without getting a hit. What are they?
Answer1) Base on balls (walk).
2) Hit by pitch (bean ball).
3) Catcher's interference (the batter hits the catcher with the bat instead of the ball)
4) Fielder's choice (someone else is thrown out at 2nd base, 3rd base, or home plate).
5) The batter strikes out swinging but the catcher drops the ball and can't throw the batter out.
6) Someone in the field makes an error and the batter makes it to first safely.

MERIT: Fifth title is elusive
4:27pm Wednesday 18th June 2014
By Andrew Simpson
4:27pm Wednesday 18th June 2014
By Andrew Simpson
GLYNN Cookson, chasing a fifth Cheshire Senior Merit title, bowed out at the semi finals stage of the latest edition against eventual winner Steve Morrey.
The Wharton Cons star lost by two chalks on Sunday to his opponent from Queen's Park at Coppenhall. Another of the Mid-Cheshire Bowling Association's seven representatives, Comberbach's Matt Thurlwell, reached the last four too. He lost 21-17 to Robert Eaton.
Rob Winnington, from Castle Private, defeated defending champion Noel Burrows (Alderley and District) and last year's runner-up Chris Talbot (Macclesfield) before succumbing to Morrey in the quarter finals.
The new champion, representing South Cheshire, is a regular too for Castle Private A – helping them to reach the Brunner Cup final last summer.
Thurlwell ended the run of Dave Hamlett junior (Wharton Cons) at the same stage, while Cookson sent Carl Armitage (Stockport and District) packing.
Matt Hamman (Castle Private), lost in the second round to Armitage while clubmates Paul Mackie and Jason Cornes – a four-time previous winner – fell at the first hurdle on the Crewe green. Cookson and Thurlwell will now represent Cheshire at the British Crown Green Bowling Association's Senior Individual Merit competition next month.

Jeremy Johnson headed to trial as fraud plea deal unravels • A federal court hearing Friday in which St. George businessman Jeremy Johnson was to admit guilt to two felony charges ended when prosecutors balked at placing a list of people into the record that Johnson said prosecutors had promised not to indict if he entered a guilty plea.

After trying a bunch of skins, with none of them being the perfect solution for me, I believe that Simplicity is my favorite. But I several things aren't working correctly or working like I think they should. I am hoping I can get help to fix these things, or confirm if they are known issues.
1. The Pictures section does not work well. When I select the Pictures menu item from home, it opens the Pictures view, in the upper left it says "Browsing: return" and nothing ever happens after that. I get no options to add a source, access addons, or anything at all. The up arrow to view options also does not work. But then, if hit backspace (and would normally expect to go back to the home screen), I finally get a file view allowing me to add source and access addons.
2. When I select music, the next screen has no items to select. I have to then view options and disable library mode. Once in file mode, I can see my music source, go to music addons, etc. If I understand it correctly, there really isn't a library view available for music, so if that is a limitation of XBMC, so be it. But it would then be nice if you were automatically in file mode when you entered the music section.
3. The recently added items that appear above the menu on the home screen (for both movies and TV Shows) only work intermittently. When they are not working, there are still items up there, but they have no data and no thumbnails. But then sometimes they work as expected.
4. When Home is the highlighted item there are three itmes above the menu bar: Movies, Episodes, and Albums. The numbers for these items (total and unwatched) only populate some of the time. Just like in item 3, I have not been able to discover the set of circumstances that leads to this working correctly sometimes but not others.
5. Maybe some of these things are fixed in later builds, but I cannot get it to install. I download the latest zip from GIT and try to install from zip within XBMC but the install fails. I do not see any errors in the ddebug log, I just get a pop up message saying that the install failed.
So if anyone can offer fixes, workarounds, etc. to help me with these issue I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you.

I have mostly been running XBMC 10.1, but I have also tried the nightly build a few nights ago (I had the same problems plus new ones, but of course that is to be expected with the nightly builds).
As for the Simplicity skin, I have tried both version 1.2.0 and a SVN version I got from the Passion repository that is labeled version 1314963348. I am having the issues in my OP in both of these versions.
As I already said, I have also tried to install Simplicity from the nightly builds but the installation always fails (both with XBMC 10.1 and the nightly build of it). I am not sure if I am doing something wrong to install the nightly build of Simplicity but it appears to be straightforward process to install from a zip.
Again, thanks in advance for whatever advice I can get about these issues.
Also, if it makes any difference, I am running Windows 7, SP1.

Okay, thanks for that link. I had not found that until you pointed me to it.
I guess it is clear that this is the last version of Simplicity for Dharma, so the rest of this post may be pointless. But for the record, here is my status now.
Item 1 from my original post is still a bug/issue/problem for me.
Item 2 from my original post is now good.
Item 3 from my original post is now good.
Item 4 from my original post is now good.
Item 5 from my original post is still an issue but now only with nightly builds of both XBMC and Simplicity. Perhaps this is okay given that we are talking about nightly builds, but the complete lack of debug info telling my I cannot install the skin is frustrating.
Thanks again for the help.

didn't see this posted.
well this looks like lebron and the others. i can't disagree actually.Quote:
Dont think its just fans that argue and whine about the ratings of players on NBA2k a lot of players do too and have taken offense to so-and-so being ranked higher than them. Then you get people like Michael Beasley who actually thought his 78 in 2k12 was higher than (he) thought it would be.
A few ratings of the NBAs elite and rookies from NBA2k14 leaked and its causing a little commotion among the basketball/gaming community. Most wont complain about the face of NBA2k4, King James, having a score of 99 but if hes 99 then should Durant be a 94? 92 for Westbrook sounds fair but does Wall at 85 and Monta at 82 sound fair then?
Below are a few of the ratings published by Gameranx.com. I cant wait to see where Kobe, Harden, Dwight, Steph and Rose rank on the list.
LeBron James 99
Kevin Durant 94
Carmel Anthony 92
Russell Westbrook 91
Paul George 88
John Wall 85
Monta Ellis 82
Brook Lopez 81
Pau Gasol 81
Roy Hibbert 81

Quick Note: Apple Explains iPhone 5's Jimi Hendrix Effect

Apple suggests holding it differently or shielding the lens with your hand
If you've ever seen a purple haze or spot on your iPhone images/videos, Apple has offered an explanation -- you're holding it wrong.
IPhone 5 users have complained that a purple haze or a purple spot has shown up on videos and still images from out-of-scene bright light sources. According to Apple, the cause is the position of the light source and can be fixed by simply holding the phone at a different angle.
Apple's explanation and solution for
the Jimi Hendrix effect
is as follows:
Most small cameras, including those in every generation of iPhone, may exhibit some form of flare at the edge of the frame when capturing an image with out-of-scene light sources. This can happen when a light source is positioned at an angle (usually just outside the field of view) so that it causes a reflection off the surfaces inside the camera module and onto the camera sensor. Moving the camera slightly to change the position at which the bright light is entering the lens, or shielding the lens with your hand, should minimize or eliminate the effect.

Swimming is one of the best summer time activities for kids to enjoy, but lurking in the water is something that can make your little one sick.
Kiddie pools are a family fun staple, but according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the small plastic or inflatable pools have been associated with the spread of recreational water illnesses or RWIs. These illnesses occur from swallowing or being in contact with the contaminated water. Alarmingly, larger public pools have also tested positive for bacteria caused by fecal matter.
Kiddie pools are typically filled with tap water, which is free of chlorine. They also don't have the filters of larger pools. Once bacteria enter the water, normally from a child with a diarrheal illness, everyone else who enters is at risk of getting sick.
A recently released study by the CDC found that 58 percent of Atlanta-area public pools contained E. coli, a fecal indicator, introduced by swimmers. The fecal matter contaminates the pool when it washes off of swimmers' bodies or through a fecal incident in the water. The findings show that swimmers need to do a better job of preventing the introduction of pathogens by showering before diving in, washing hands, and avoiding the pool if sick.
After using your kiddie pool, drain it completely and clean it. Then let it sit out in the sun for at least four hours to kill any bacteria left behind. Take these steps and continue to enjoy this summer activity staple.

The Streetscapes: Akron in Plein Air competition is "getting a life of its own," said Brian Shellito, who has coordinated the event for four years.
In addition to Shellito's three paintings, 22 artists turned in 45 plein air pieces from scenes around Akron for the competition. The exhibition opened July 5 at Summit Artspace in downtown Akron, with the winners of the plein air show announced during a reception July 11.
"We've gotten a little bit bigger each year," said Shellito. "As more people see the show, others say 'I want to do that."
Shellito said the whole art of plein air has become more popular in recent years.
The winners of this year's competition included Thomas Bagiackas of Kent, first place for Three Days in June; Ann Emmitt of Tallmadge, second place for Akron Art Museum I; and Julie Holman of Akron, for City Birds. Honorable mentions went to Larry Churski of Medina for Self-Portrait, Michele Knapper of Stow for Electric Tattoo, Susan Cone Porges of Solon for Industrial Revolution, and Tiffany South of Bedford for Day's Knight. The awards juror for this year's competition was Cleveland artist and designer, Laurence Channing represented by The Bonfoey Gallery in Cleveland.
The works completed for the 2014 Streetscapes can be seen through Aug. 16. Selected paintings will then be chosen to go on display at the Greater Akron Chamber offices.
En plein air is a French expression which means "in the open air" and is particularly used to describe the act of painting outdoors, which is also called peinture sur le motif ("painting on the ground"). It can also be used to describe other activities where a person partakes in an outdoor environment.
Free demo
Nationally-recognized plein air artist, Carolyn E. Lewis will offer a demo on Aug. 2 at 1 p.m. with Getting a Successful Start on a Plein Air Painting. Registration is not necessary and experience with plein air painting is not needed to attend these workshops.
