Virginia Tech Hokies vs. Virginia Cavaliers Pick-Odds-Prediction 2/18/14
Virginia Cavaliers (21-5) at Virginia Tech Hokies (9-15)
College Basketball: Tuesday, February 18, 2014 at 9:00 pm (Cassell Coliseum)
The Line: Virginia Tech Hokies +11.5 -- Over/Under: See the Latest Odds
TV: ESPN Full Court
The Virginia Cavaliers travel to Virginia Tech to play the Hokies on Tuesday night.
The Virginia Cavaliers improved to 21-5, 12-1 ACC after beating Clemson on the road 63-58 on Saturday afternoon. On the season, Malcolm Brogdon is averaging a team-high 12.2 points per game along with averaging 5.7 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game. Brogdon has become the Cavaliers go-to playmaker in crunch time and he has produced in the clutch several times this season. Joe Harris is averaging a second-best 11.6 points per game; while Akil Mitchell is averaging 7.1 points and a team-high 6.7 rebounds per game. The Cavaliers are averaging 66.2 points per game while shooting 44.7% from the field as a team this season. Virginia may not be the most productive offensive team but they are outstanding on the defensive end of the floor. Virginia has won nine straight games since losing at Duke by 2-points a month ago. The Cavaliers will head out on the road where they are 6-3 on the season.
Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports
The Virginia Tech Hokies improved to 9-15, 2-10 ACC after beating Miami at home 52-45 on Saturday evening. On the season, Jarell Eddie leads the Hokies with 13.9 points per game and a team-high 5.6 rebounds per game. Ben Emelogu is averaging a second-best 11.4 points per game, while Devin Wilson is averaging 8.9 points per game and a team-high 4.4 assists. The Hokies are averaging a mediocre 66.8 points per game while shooting an awful 41.5% from the field. Virginia Tech is actually a good rebounding team, averaging 37.9 points per game, but a lot of that has to do with the amount of shots the Hokies miss in the first place. The Hokies are not a good offensive team and they don't do a good job of distributing the basketball, averaging only 11.4 assists per game as a team this season. Virginia Tech had lost ten games in a row, all in conference play, before earning the win against Miami on Saturday.
Virginia Tech played awful offensively last weekend, but they did manage to win by limiting an average Miami team to only 45 points. The Hokies will not have the same success against the Cavaliers on Tuesday night. Virginia should have no problem scoring the basketball and they will make it tough for the Hokies to score over 50 points. The Cavaliers win their tenth straight in blow-out fashion on Tuesday.

Koreans in Guatemala
|Total population
|12,918 (2011)[1]
|Regions with significant populations
|Guatemala City (El Pueblito, Monte María, Roosevelt)[2]
|Korean, Spanish
|Related ethnic groups
|Korean diaspora
Koreans in Guatemala form one of the newest and fastest-growing Korean diaspora communities in Latin America.[1]
Migration history[edit]
The first migrants from South Korea to Guatemala did not arrive in the country until 1985, more than two decades after South Korean mass migration to Latin America began.[3] As recently as 1997, only 2,051 Koreans resided in the country, but by 2005, that number had almost quintupled to 9,944, surpassing the older community of Koreans in Paraguay and giving Guatemala the fourth-largest Korean population in the region, behind Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico. From 2005 to 2009, the number of Koreans in the country remained roughly stable at 9,921 persons.[4][5] However, in the following two years the number of South Korean nationals in the country grew by 30%, reaching 12,918 persons. Among them 3,101 were permanent residents, 52 were international students, and 9,765 had other kinds of visas. The population exhibits gender imbalance, with 7,409 women (57%) compared to 5,509 men (43%), a sex ratio of 134 to 100. Almost all live in Guatemala City, with only 38 recorded as living in Antigua or other cities.[1]
Business and employment[edit]
The earliest migrants were involved in the textiles industry, setting up factories to produce garments for export to the United States market.[3] From 1988 to 1991, fifty South Korean-owned maquilas opened in Guatemala. The value of their exports, at $150 million per year, comprised half of all Guatemalan apparel exports.[6] As of 2001, there were thirty-three Korean restaurants in the capital; other Korean residents operate karaoke bars, mini-supermarkets, book cafes, and clothing stores. In some cases, wives and children remain in Guatemala doing business while their husbands return to Korea.[2] Products from South Korean-owned businesses are reported to make up 10% of Guatemala's total exports.[7]
Community relations[edit]
Guatemalans perceive the Korean community as fairly insular and isolated.[2] South Korean media portray the Korean community in Guatemala as living in constant fear of their lives due to endemic violence in the country, a portrayal which the Guatemalan embassy in Seoul strongly disputes. According to the Korean embassy, twenty-four Koreans have become the victims of violent crime in Guatemala between 2003 and 2008.[8] In March 2009, a pair of South Korean businessmen Sang Park and Bang Mal-sum were murdered in a suburb of the capital.[9] Because they are involved in international business and thus believed to be rich, South Koreans are perceived by the general population as attractive targets for kidnapping, especially in comparison to Americans. In total in 13 months up to February 2010 there were eight cases of murders of South Koreans, along with numerous kidnappings.[10] In February 2010, two South Koreans who ran an illegal casino were arrested for the abduction and murder of Suong Kim, another South Korean who had won money in the casino.[11][12]
There is an Association of Koreans in Guatemala (Asociación de Coreanos en Guatemala), headed by Lim Byung-yeol.[13] The association has organised a variety of activities, including a sports day at Parque la Democracia in May 2011. That year, the association also began conducting a statistical survey of the community.[14] There is also a Korean School of Guatemala (Colegio Coreano de Guatemala, 과테말라 한글학교), which had 29 teachers and 170 students as of 2010[update].[7] Octavio Kang, a graduate of the Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, publishes a newspaper aimed at the community; about three-tenths of its articles are about Guatemala and the Korean community there, with the rest concerning happenings in South Korea. However, it has only 350 subscribers.[2]

LOVE this movie house. Free popcorn and a homey atmosphere mixed with smart film selections. What more could you ask for?
Grady is and has always been a Charleston superstar and true original. We're lucky to have had him.
The first of hopefully many more productions!
Mark and John have done it again! Good job guys.
Very excited to have a new hangout in the hood!
While I did not attend this event, as a feminist I respect Ms. Marie's choices. She and her fellow models are obviously comfortable in their skin, a gift not all of us share. The fact that it was her idea and her performance makes it HER art and therefore makes it empowering to her. This is simply one facet of a complex artist. While the video may be some man's wet dream it also raised the temperature for women in the room as well and a video that makes you feel something whether it's sexy or happy or sad is ART. The world is too full of mediocre "art" that stimulates no minds or bodies. Good job Abigail Marie and John Barnhardt.

Hands-on with the Nokia Lumia 925
Getting Started with #MoWithLove and Nokia Refocus
You can laugh at me but the very first photo I've taken with the device was a "selfie" one for the #MoWithLove campaign of Nokia. This is not just a random thing though, if you are not familiar, "Movember" (a portmanteau of moustache and November), is an annual month-long event in which men around the world grow moustaches to raise awareness on men's health issues such as prostate cancer, and other male cancers and associated charities. Quick note, apart from being a "Devices & Services" company, Nokia actively supports various social projects that covers education, sustainable environment and women empowerment projects among others and they too, recently responded to Haiyan victims. Back on the business, luck was on my side as the Nokia Refocus app was also released the day I received the device. I played around on the Refocus app but I opted to play more with the "Color Pop" sub-feature. What's good about this app is that you can shoot your photo, save it then refocus everything later, the same principle applies to the color pop.
I've already heard so many good things about the low-light photos shot from Nokia Lumia with PureView Technology camera but having a first-hand experience is another thing. I was really impressed with the low-light photos I've taken from my Lumia 925 trial device. I suggests don't ever use flash except on extremely dark places, let the LED flash handle everything. As pictured below, I was chasing Yuno, the cat to go into a dark place for this test and I succeed, he went into hiding under and then I had this innocent shot of him. More low-light photos after the break.
Sports Mode
I haven't heard so much about the "Sports Mode" so this one is worth noting. I'm sure it happened to a lot of us when we are on the road and seen the beautiful sunset. It is not a problem when you are on your own car but what if you are travelling on a public transportation? You can't just tell the driver to stop because you want to snap the sunset. This is where the "Sports Mode" comes in, and to make it even more exciting, I had it "reversed". Technically speaking "Sports Mode" is meant for fast moving objects but in this case, I am the one that's on the move while in a public bus. I nevertheless took the chance and I was blown away by the result. These photos were taken via "Sports Mode" and again, with flash off. At first, I was a bit hesitant with the LED flash since I'm taking shots through a glass window and it might reflect on the photos. Apparently, I was wrong, I've got outstanding photos.
Taking full advantage of the Nokia Camera
See the details of the ladders? And this was taken at night with just an 8.7MP shooter. Imagine if it's the Nokia Lumia 1020 with 41MP shooter. Now, I played a little bit on the f-stop, exposure time and ISO speed to take fully advantage of the Nokia Camera app. The one on the left was set at f/2 stop; 1/14secs exposure time and ISO set at 800 respectively while the second picture was set at f/2 stop; 0.88secs exposure time and ISO to just 100. The first picture was fine and bright basically because of the ISO speed but the second image if not identical, was closer to the actual paint color of the tower.
That Fountain that Blows
Heck, I won't let this trial end without trying this. If you've done this before via your beloved DSLR, then you can do it also here on Lumia 925, again, by taking advantage of the Nokia Camera app and full access to WB, f/stop; exposure time; focus and ISO speed. Achieving these shots however requires a lot of patience if you are new with this feature. The first few photos were taken daytime so I don't have to tweak that much as I already knew what would be my shutter's speed and all. But those shots at nightfall was really a challenge because you have to consider your surrounding and I guess these can be classified also as a "low-light" photos plus catching high speed images of running water.
Then Comes the Cinemagraph
This exclusive app for Lumia lines lets you capture photo and create movie-like animation. The latest update on the app bring HD support, cross-fading transitions and color pop features on your photo. Let's see how it goes… (Click on the image for hires version)

Oh Panorama!
You can basically take up to 5 photos then the app will put them together for you in a breath-taking panorama view! This requires a little bit of patience and if you're shaky, don't worry because of the OIS (optical image stabilization) feature (that's also present on video recording) will help you stabilize your shots. Based on my experience and from the angle/position where I'm in when I took 5 photos max, it equates to almost 180-degrees turn. I will let the photos speaks for themselves!
Not just an "Action Shot"
"Action Shot" became an overnight hit when it launched on PureView-powered Lumia devices and the creativity (output) from different Lumia users was overwhelming with their stunning action shots. Now to differentiate from everybody else, I utilized the "action shot" to create an illusion that one may actually think that my subject (HA! Did I just called my sister a test subject?) are triplets. Whether you admit it or not and if I am totally stranger to you, and viewing my action shot photo outside of my Nokia review – you would think that they are indeed "triplets". Well they're not. I made it looked like the three of them are holding each other's hand. And this is the beauty of "action shot" feature. There's a lot to enjoy with this feature.
Favorite Photo
Ultimately, the sunset was my favorite shot throughout this 2-week trial period. Taking outdoor photos work like a charm too leaving the settings in to "Auto Mode". Head past break for more photos!
But Nokia Lumia wasn't all about (GREAT) photos
Indeed, HERE suite may arrived a little bit late from the party but it is one promising navigation app that is definitely "HERE" to stay for a long time. The beauty about this app is that it works even on offline mode (yep, you won't be needing active data or wifi connection). One of the biggest question for me though was, yes, it works really well based on the review but these reviewers resides on "more developed/advanced" territories like the US/UK where "mapping technologies" are way advanced than ours. But that was immediately addressed when I took HERE Drive on road test on my way home. With HERE Drive on the go – it's effortless! It will tell you turn-by-turn navigation with a voice command. The GPS was so accurate that when I took the flyover bridge, it exactly displays the same thing on HERE where I actually am — on the center of the intersection! Going to work the next day was a tricky one because obviously there are several routes that you can take depending on your preference. Initially, it displays the most common route; but the moment I took the flyover bridge and HERE realized this, the direction was immediately changed to the path that I am currently in, really impressive! I also used HERE Drive back in the province and the result was also commendable.
Final thoughts
The Nokia Lumia 925 is a very powerful device that can be at par or even surpass its competitors. Taking the full advantage of Microsoft's Windows Phone 8 OS that features resizable and "Live Tiles"; intuitive UI design; built-in Office and cloud service via SkyDrive; the Nokia Lumia 925 also boasts an 8.7MP PureView; lens by Zeiss; dual-LED flash, Optical Image Stabilization and exclusive apps like City Lens (another cool and very reliable app!), Creative Studio, Cinemagraph, HERE suites and MixRadio. Popular apps like Vine, Waze, Mint, Flipboard and Instagram BETA are already available via the Windows Phone Store so don't be an outsider and make the switch now! The Holiday Season is just around the corner so go visit your local store and get Lumia 925 for you, your family and friends, highly recommended!
Here's hoping that friends from Nokia will let me review the beastie Lumia 1020 with 41MP PureView; the Lumia 1520 which was announced last October 22nd at Nokia World: Abu Dhabi along with their first ever tablet, the Lumia 2520. Special thanks to Paul, Laura, Denise and the whole Nokia Connects Team for making this trial possible.
More trial photos!
Instagram finally made its debut on Windows Phone
Widely popular photo sharing app Instagram finally made its much-awaited debut on Windows Phone. The (half-baked) app basically replicates the IU design present on iOS and Android. Unfortunately, you won't be able to upload and play videos but Instagram was quick to note that the app is currently on BETA version.
Really? Who told them to release a half-baked app? I mean, the Windows Phone community already waited long enough for the official app. We wouldn't mind waiting another month or so but give us the solid experience. I won't even dwell on comparing Instagram and 6tag. I just can't imagine the number of Instagram developers working on the app versus Rudy Huyn himself.
Nevertheless, it's good news that the official app is now on Windows Phone. The app's absence on Windows Phone is a deal breaker for some consumers and hopefully, this will finally close that gap.
Here's my first post via the official app!
The official (and half-baked) @instragram app for@WindowsPhone is now available @nokia #smh#halfbaked

Vine arrives on Windows Phone
Vine was first announced during the launch of Lumia 1020 back in July. Now, the growing Windows Phone community can rejoice as the app officially arrives at the Windows Phone Store. Owned by Twitter, Vine debuted last January on iOS and later on to Android devices. With Vine, you can create short, beautiful, looping videos in a simple and fun way for your friends and family to see. I'm using Vine on my iPod and on my Nokia Lumia 925 trial device and I must admit that the UI design on Windows Phone is really better, smooth, clean and of course, there's a Live Tile.
Alas! Here's my first Vine video which Nokia@Work apparently picked-up and re-tweeted!
We love this! Thanks for sharing RT @hethler: #VineYourOffice @vineapp Sorry my table was a disaster #BusyAsBee https://t.co/TbORig42zo

Nokia announces Lumia 1320, 1520 and 2520 tablet
Nokia today at the Nokia World: Abu Dhabi unveiled its latest devices to join the ever-growing Lumia family: the Lumia 1320 and 1520; and its first-ever Windows tablet, the Lumia 2520.
Sporting a 6-inch ClearBlack with Full HD 1080p and powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 800, the new Lumia 1520 is poised to be the flagship smartphone from Nokia. The device basically re-purposed the same premium design present on its siblings but the engineers managed to improved the "high brightness mode and sunlight readability algorithms" present on its PureView devices (920, 925 and 1020) via the "assertive display algorithms". Rather than simply processing the whole display content with one set of parameters, the Assertive Display on the Lumia 1520 runs at an individual pixel level to make the screen more readable. The device comes with a 20-megapixel PureView camera powered by Zeiss with a front-facing camera clocked at 1.2mp; an Optical Image Stabilization and the over-sampling capability that is also present on the Lumia 1020. Photo enthusiasts will have an easy time taking shots too with Nokia combining the Smart Camera and Pro Camera via the Nokia Camera which will be made available in the coming days to all Lumia with PureView camera; add to that was the announcement of RAW DNG support coming to both Lumia 1520 and 1020. The new Nokia Lumia 1520 is priced at $749 and comes in red, white, yellow and black.
The Nokia Lumia 1320 on the other hand, is a 6-inch mid-ranged device powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 which is not really bad for your gaming experience. Major drawbacks are the screen which was downgraded to 720×1080; and the rear-camera 5mp and an underwhelming 0.3mp VGA front-facing camera. Shipping out early next year, the Lumia 1320 will be available in orange, white, black and yellow priced at $399.
First tablet
We all saw this coming. Introducing, Nokia's first ever tablet, the Nokia Lumia 2520. The 10.1-inch tablet runs Windows RT with a 1920×1080 display and follows the design (and flashy colors) of its Lumia devices siblings; and sports a 6.7mp rear camera with an f1.9 Zeiss lens and a 2mp front-facing one. The built-in storage is clocked at 32GB which can be expanded to up to 32GB microSD card. There's a multi-purpose kickstand too that also serve as a kick-stand and can actually increase the battery life. The Lumia 2520 will be available in November, priced at $500 and available in red, cyan, gloss white and matte black.
The Lumia 2520 directly competes with Surface RT and depending on your preference, both of them offers a set of advantages over the other.
Of course, these devices come with a built-in Office Suites and HERE Maps that works even on offline mode. Head past break for technical specs comparison between the Lumia 1320 and 1520; and the Lumia 2520 and Surface RT.

Microsoft buys Nokia's smartphone handset business
Microsoft announced Monday night that it will acquire Nokia's devices and services division. Everybody saw this news coming! It was 2011 when Nokia chose to partner with Microsoft to power up their Lumia handset devices with Windows Phone because they feared that Samsung would dominate Android. Since that partnership, rumors about Microsoft's acquisition of Nokia will likely happen — and it is happening now. Nokia on their part is the only manufacturer that fully relies on Windows Phone unlike Samsung and HTC. Nokia also accounted for a whopping 81% of all Windows devices shipped last quarter based on Kantar Worldpanel. On Microsoft's side, they are transitioning from software to a "devices and services" company. This buyout deal will be beneficial for both companies in many ways.
Microsoft will pay 3.70 billion Euro for Nokia's devices business ($5 billion U.S.). Microsoft will also pay an additional 1.65 billion Euro ($2.2 billion U.S.) for the rights to Nokia's patents. All together, the deal will cost Microsoft about $7 billion U.S.
Microsoft will also take on about 32,000 Nokia employees. Nokia's CEO Stephen Elop will transfer to Microsoft too. (Elop used to work at Microsoft before becoming the Nokia CEO.)
Nokia will be hosting a live press conference at 10am CEST (4pm Manila time).
Press Release from Microsoft.
Joint Press Release from Steve Ballmer and Stephen Elop.
What do you of this buyout deal?
Nokia Lumia 925 launched in the Philippines, hits stores on August 19th, Lumia 1020 coming Q4
Nokia Philippines today, officially announced the inevitable arrival of the upgraded version of Lumia 920 – the new Lumia 925 (initially available in the US via T-Mobile, and on China Mobile in China) sports a thinner, lighter and an aluminium metal band that brings elegant to the device at event held at Salon de Ning at the Peninsula Manila.
It was also revealed that the "Amber" update is on its way and hinted that the newest baby of the Lumia family and undeniably the most innovative and best smartphone camera yet – the Lumia 1020, will arrive before the year ends.
The Lumia 925 will hit Nokia Stores nationwide beginning August 19th for Php 23,500.00 and free when you sign up for Smart's Data Plan 1500 bundled with unlimited LTE connectivity.
The launch was spearheaded by Mr. Gary Chan, Head of Marketing for Nokia Pan-Asia. Also present on the event are Mr. Karel Holub of Nokia Philippines and representatives from Smart Communications.
Head past break for the device comparison of Lumia 925 and Lumia 920.
Nokia announces Lumia 1020 with 41MP Camera
Nokia announces Lumia 1020, the beastie device and undeniably the best smartphone camera yet in the market sporting a 41 megapixel (YEP) camera sensor. The Lumia 1020 allows you to simultaneously shoot both full-resolution capture (34MP to 38MP depending on aspect ratio) and an over-sampled version (5MP) that you can share on your favorite social media sites instantly.
Elop and Co. also revealed Nokia's Pro Camera application. It offers manual control of zoom; ISO and shutter speed so you can shoot super high resolution photos, rotate, share and crop without losing quality. On the video side, you can capture sharp, detailed HD video and zoom in up to six times without sacrificing the quality and with Nokia's Rich Recording; you can capture distortion-free, stereo sound so you can relieve the moment as if you were there again. The Pro Camera app is native to the Lumia 1020 but it will also be available for the PureView branded Lumia 920. 925 and 928 in the coming months.
While above mentioned items spells "innovations" to me, I think they could have push the game a little further by coming up with 5-inch device with Full HD 1920×1080 display; a quad-core processor and an expandable memory storage.
Nokia in 2011 chose to partner with Microsoft to power up their Lumia devices with Windows Phone OS (7.x, 8). Nokia is still struggling to make a comeback but these are testaments why the Finnish phone maker used to rule the mobile world.
Check the full specs here and see collection of trailers here. Nokia also offers a white paper that further explains the science of oversampling and is available here.

BMW S 1000 RR news - Light artillery - 2009
942bhp per tonne. That's the power-to-weight ratio of the S 1000 RR superbike, BMW's first foray into the world of litre sports bikes (they're the ultra-fast, super light ones). Once more, that's 942bhp per tonne.
OK, we don't usually cover motorbikes here on Top Gear - largely on account of the fetishistic clothing required to ride them - but that stat stopped us in our four-wheel tracks.
Here's the maths: the RR's one-litre straight-four engine puts out 193bhp, lightly glued to a bike weighing just 204kg, making the RR the lightest litre sports bike. That's fully fuelled, mind, so when it's running on fumes, the RR will be knocking on the door of 1,000bhp per tonne. That's twice the power-to-weight ratio of the Veyron, twice that of the Caterham R500. Unless you're a fattie.
It's right up there with a volatile hand grenade. Or the Caparo T1. But the Caparo has belts, and a monocoque, and a few other bits and pieces to stop you turning into a leather-wrapped lump of sausagemeat in the event of something going wrong. The RR is, in short, insane.
In fairness, it does have a couple of safety aids: factory ABS, for one, and a seriously clever traction control system.
That said, you should always be suspicious of a bike with wonky eyes. Look at the RR's face. It has asymmetrical headlights (is that what you call them, bikists? Headlights? Do they have some fancy bike-based name?). Don't trust this bike any further than you can throw it. Which, given that it weighs slightly less than a small feather with an eating disorder, is probably quite far. We've gone and confused ourselves now…

Most salaried individuals believe that their employers' group health insurance is adequate. If you are among them, you could be wrong. Companies across sectors are cutting down on the range of benefits that they are providing their employees. According to insurance broking firm Marsh India, over 70% of employers surveyed in 2013 had modified their health plans between 2011 and 2012 to manage the rising healthcare costs. The changes included partial or full withdrawal of parental coverage,imposition of rent restrictions and costsharing with employees on claims. Industry watchers believe that the trend is likely to continue this year.
"Parents' policies are slowly moving from an employer-funded to an employee-funded model. This trend is likely to continue and expand to more organisations," says Sanjay Kedia, CEO, Marsh India.
Now that the benefit of covering your senior-citizen parents may be done away with, how can you bridge the gap? An independent cover will help you during a job switch and make up for any shortfall in coverage. "Before putting in one's papers, the employee should enforce the portability provision and get his parents ported to a retail policy with the same insurer," says Segar Sampathkumar, GM, The New India Assurance.
To boost your protection, you could buy an indemnity-based regular health insurance, a fixed benefit policy or a top-up plan. The combination would depend on your age, city of residence, preferences, risk appetite and, of course, affordability. "For employees over 45 years old, it is advisable to go for an indemnity cover. They can carry on with this cover even after retirement," says Arvind Laddha, CEO, Vantage Insurance Brokers. According to insurance advisers, a family of four (a couple and two children), living in a metropolis, requires a minimum cover of Rs 10 lakh. If you need a larger cover, you can opt for an indemnitybased cover of Rs 5 lakh and a top-up plan for the balance.
Under a regular health policy , several expenses are not covered. For instance, an attendant's commuting expenses. Defined plans promise to hand out a pre-determined amount, irrespective of the actual expenses incurred when a claim is made.
However, Divya Gandhi, principal officer and head, Emkay Insurance Brokers, strikes a note of caution. Daily cash variants have to be purchased in addition to reimbursement covers. "If your cash plan pays, say , Rs 1,000-3,000 per day, it is barely going to cover the room rent," says Gandhi.

That's great, and discovering apps can be a daunting task, but many consumers care about the apps that best suit their lifestyle," said Antonio Wells, co-founder and chief editor for AsSeenOnPhone™. "AndroidTapp.com is the solution to the growing issue of app discovery and quality segregation as we thoroughly review Android apps to tell consumers whether an app is worth paying for or not. Thousands of developers submit their applications to us weekly seeking our signature unbiased and fair review conclusions about their software. We give consumers a 'try it before you buy it' service at no cost. We suggest the next time anyone is undecided on purchasing a particular app, search whether AndroidTapp.com has reviewed it to help make a better informed purchase decision."
An AndroidTapp.com app review consists of one-click to download apps, Pros versus Cons, thorough features explanation, tips & tricks, numerous screenshots and videos of the apps in use, as well as an official five-star rating and concise decision whether to buy an app or not. That same quality standard is instilled in device reviews of phone and tablets as well, with ways to buy, Pros versus Cons, buyer demographics suggestions; thorough features, design & performance explanations, pictures and videos, an official rating and a summary of whether to buy the device or not.
"AndroidTapp.com experts curate best apps lists as would an art gallery curator," said Wells, "going farther beyond automated algorithms some apps and resources use, which tend to fall short of best app recommendations as they factor so few of the correct criteria to suggest effectively."
The Best of the Best
In addition to simply reviewing apps and devices, AndroidTapp.com also curates several Best Of lists, including an App of the Week featured selection, a Featured Device list to highlight editor picks, and a wide range of category listings, such as the Best Apps for Email. All reviews are also categorized by subject on the site to make finding reviews fast and easy.
In addition, the site often interviews developers to allow users to get a more personal view of who created their favorite apps, and where these individuals see the overall market going. Additionally, AndroidTapp.com has more than 200,000+ apps that are listed in Google's Android Market at http://apps.androidtapp.com. This helps consumers socially discover what apps their friends and others on Facebook are using; this is in addition to the curated app reviews, to help with app discovery.
To top it all off, AndroidTapp.com offers regular contests giving away apps and devices, as well as offering one of the largest and most complete Android devices list available.
"As many consumers adopt Google Android powered smartphones, they often seek general help and advice on how to operate their devices," Wells concluded. "We help in this respect as well by publicly answering common questions in our 'Android Advice' editorial section."
What People Are Saying
AndroidTapp.com is getting recognition from around the industry for its work at creating a reliable, unbiased source for users who are both new to Android, or have been using it for a while. The industry recognizes the need for this type of content, and is sending its customers to AndroidTapp.com first.
In January 2010, MakeUseOf.Com featured AndroidTapp.com as one of its '6 Android Websites You Should Check Out,' noting in the article that, "Android Tapp really fits the bill for new and veteran Android users out there. Whether you just picked one up over the holidays, or have followed Android since day 1, you'll still find something useful here. Overall, this is one of my favorite Android websites to check out on a regular basis for Android news and reviews."
Verizon Wireless licensed AndroidTapp.com content for its DROID App Showcase micro-website, as part of the Motorola DROID phone giveaway social media campaign in July 2010. That same month, U.S. Cellular also recommended the site to its customers on its mobile homepage.
And finally, Amazon's Business Developer Manager Natasha Kocharov recognized the site, noting in June 2011, "Compliments to your editors and creative group – very impressive and useful content!"

BSOD Startup Page Fault In Nonpaged Area
So I randomly got the BSOD during start up this morning. No issues prior, didn't install anything new software/hardware. Just normal everyday usage.
I can't get into safe mode, it crashes during startup, I can't do a Hard drive diagnostics through F8, it just freeze in a black screen. So pretty much I can't do anything while booting with the SSD.
I did a memtest, removed my rams one stick at a time, and switch the order. Ran chkdsk on the SSD and no issues. So I plugged in an older random HDD to test, installed a fresh window and everything runs fine. So that means the Ram should be ok. Did error checking on the SSD (plugged it in using an external case) found a few errors, and was "fixed" so I booted my computer off the SSD again, and the BSOD is still there.
Is there anyway I can check if its an issue with the windows inside my SSD or if the SSD has an error.
I know I can just reformat it, and probably be easier, but its a hassle reinstalling all my driver and stuff, since I'm installing a fresh windows.
|My System Specs
|04 Jan 2014
How long did you do a memory test with all the sticks .. ? Best to do the check for at least 12 hrs ..
|My System Specs
|04 Jan 2014
didn't do 12hrs
I let it run for 5 pass.
I'm pretty sure its not the ram anymore since using a different HDD I can boot up.

I would try the ssd main site and see if they have some diagnostic program .

Counteracting the Dirty Little Secrets of Online PanelsTuesday, February 14, 2012, 5:57 am 1 Comment
There are some really, really bad panels out there. The question is, how can we as researchers navigate these treacherous waters? In short, what can we do to avoid these bad panels and practices?
How Do You Assure Online Panel Quality?Tuesday, May 31, 2011, 22:34 pm No Comments
Dealing with Internet research panels is like securing your house when you're going away on vacation. There are all sorts of steps you can take to burglar-proof your home, but the plain fact is that if a burglar wants in badly enough, you're going to get burglarized in spite of all your careful precautions. Police officers will tell you that the goal of burglar-proofing your home is not to make it impossible for burglars to break in, but to make it much more difficult for them, and therefore much less likely to happen. Quality checks on Internet panels work the same way. I may not be able to ensure panel quality 100%, but there are plenty of steps I can take (and have taken) to make it a far higher likelihood that I'm getting good data.

Support » Everything else WordPress » Bluehost is no good with WP 2.6
Bluehost is no good with WP 2.6
Bluehost will hang on you (cpu quota) if you have 2.6 and use custom fields often.
Not necessarily. Make sure that you have the WP Super Cache plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/
Also, here are some steps which can be used to help cpu and speed with any host, although I'm assuming cPanel is used in my examples below. If you don't have cPanel, contact your host to see how you would get about doing some of the options. Some of these examples are small and perhaps a bit nit-picky, but its worth going over…
1. First step: Repair and Optimize. Always. And often. Your database has been updated a dozen times in the last day, whether you've posted or not. There's a lot of chance for errors there, so you might as well check.
• Log into the cPanel and look for PHPMyAdmin. You'll find it under Databases. *Click*
• When your database(s) come up, look on the left. Pick one that looks like "WP01". *Click*
• Notice the table that appears. This contains all your posts, categories, comments, blogroll links, Users, etc.
• Scroll to the bottom. Find Check All. *Click*
• To the right of Check All you'll find a drop down. *Click*
• Find Repair. *Click*
• Done.
• Do it again for Optimize and repeat for all databases.
2. Deactivate plug-ins you don't use, don't need or don't want. Then remove them from the plug-ins folder. plugins are the cause of many problems.
3. Switch to Fast CGI (Or switch from Fast CGI, sometimes, too)
• Login
• Click on PHPConfig (under Software/Services). Select the PHP5 FastCGI button. Save.
• (Note, all the documentation says this will dramatically speed things up. This has not been my experience. Still, try it.)
4. Don't leave your Write page open all day. It's a small thing, but WP will autosave.
5. Avoid plug-ins or widgets that go out and get RSS feeds. These include the RSS widget and those that look for Twitter tweets.
6. Turn off the Formatting Options in Settings
• In WordPress, under Settings->Writing uncheck both Formatting options. Especially "WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically".
7. Don't post via e-mail/word. Just. . .don't. Write your posts in the Write interface and copy/paste it into Word when you're done or when you take a break. Don't make WP spend time parsing your Word file.
• Use Summaries in Feeds. Under Settings->Reading, select use Summaries in Feeds.
• Consider showing less posts on each page while you're here. Or less items in each feed.
• Don't make WP e-mail you. Under Settings-Discussion, turn off any e-mail notifications you don't need; especially redundant ones. If you go to your blog daily, don't worry about having it e-mail you for comments. Just turn that off.
8. Nofollow links you don't need.
• While it's often useful to have "nofollow" removed from your comments, to encourage other bloggers to provide pingbacks and comments, there's no need to have your Meta widget followed by Google.
• Install http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/robots-meta/
• Go through settings and noindex/nofollow the stuff you don't want/need Google to look at. There's no reason for bots to spend time on your pages if they don't need to. Especially if it's a big site.
• Turn off Date Based Archive. Really, you should be ok without it. At the least, nofollow/noindex it. You do want your author archive enabled/followed/indexed. Helps boost your name's Page Rank
• Stop people from linking to your search results: Redirect "external search results" to your homepage. This prevents people from linking to your search results, which means they search every time they link to you. That costs you CPU.
9. Use Google Search. This will let Google do the CPU work for your searches, gives you a surprising amount of credibility and brings you money. (adsense.google.com)
10. Reduce image/video/flash/etc sizes. Use Photoshop, Gimp or Fireworks to reduce the image size. Look up tutorials on how to do it in Google. You'll find oodles. Gimp, by the way, is free.
11. Reuse images. If you're using the same images often, use the same one. Upload it into a folder inside wp-content (using FTP) called "MyImages" and manually link it. Especially for large images. This way, the browser says, "No, don't bother sending that. I already have it."
12. Use a Category Only RSS feed, rather than requiring everyone to use the main RSS Feed. To do that, use a link that looks like: http://MyBlog.com/category/CatagoryName/feed/. This way when someone only wants to hear about "My Dog", they only hear about the dog and you only get queried for one category instead of all of them. You can put these in as a text widget (be sure to code it manually).
13. Use the WP Super Cache plug-in, especially when you're expecting a big hit. Find that at: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-super-cache/. You may need to turn it off while editing posts (or clear the cache from it's Settings page) as it often doesn't refresh a page after an edit.
14. Reduce the excess in your CSS, JS and PHP. If you're doing things that are redundant (telling a Strong tag to be bold) take it out. No reason the server should spend any time working on that. The browser will do it.
15. If you have the option, use arrays to populate your queries rather than calling them repeatedly to grab different pieces of information.
16. Update. Update. Update. WP updates often have more than just security and feature fixes. They also have streamlined code. Use it.
Phew! Done. As I said, some of them are picky, but they are things you can at least consider. Many of these steps will help to speed up and help better functioning and performance from almost any site.Chrisber
5. Avoid plug-ins or widgets that go out and get RSS feeds. These include the RSS widget and those that look for Twitter tweets.
I wish everyone would follow this.syedabbas
BernardBorealis right on target. I have been following half of the things you suggested based on my own experience.. but learned a lot more just by reading your comment..
by the way.. my blog was also put down for heavy memory usage but now that I am on Media Temple.. things are little less hectic!
Thanks for sharing..

"I invite people to write down all the things that they're
worried about. Get them out of their head. Just write down big things, little
things, clarify what you're worrying about. And then to sort them into basically
three columns. One is things that you might potentially be able to do something
about. [Second], things that you're powerless to do something about. And then a
middle column of things you're not quite sure. You can't tell whether you can do
something about that or not. And then there are different approaches, cognitive
approaches, guided imagery approaches for things in each of those columns. The
things that you can't do anything about, there are ways to think about letting
go of them which are effective for some people."
-- Martin Rossman Physician and author of "The Worry
Although our world contains much to worry about (more and more, it can
seem), brooding and fretting are a spectacular waste of time -- and energy. This
common mental state can immerse us in a fear reaction that for some people is a
continuous downward spiral of anxiety. But there are practical ways to interrupt
this unproductive cycle. In this dialogue with David Freudberg, physician Martin
Rossman, a clinical instructor at the University of California School of
Medicine in San Francisco, explains the nature of worry, how it often derives
from subjective opinions, not objective reality; the manifold medical effects of
long-term anxiety; and simple, mental techniques, from imagery to prayer, that
can provide greater calmness, based on trust and clarity.
