Annuals are friends. Annuals are plant enthusiasts & animal lovers. Annuals are part of a harmonious family and Annuals also happen to be a band. Hailing from the tranquilly artistic town of Raleigh, NC, Annuals are a talented assembly of young musicians, whose debut was released just short of their twentieth birthdays. And when Annuals get together, the music they create is very special indeed.
Three of Annuals' members - Adam Baker (songwriter/vocals/every other instrument under the sun), Kenny Florence (lead guitar/backing vocals) and Mike Robinson (bass/backing vocals) – formed their first band together when they were 13. Zack Oden (drums/guitar), Donzel Radford (drums/percussion) and Anna Spence (keyboard/piano/backing vocals) soon followed, solidifying the group's six person line-up in 2004. From this more-than-potent combination of players and personalities an incredible music collective was born. Frontman Baker, a gifted composer who had already amassed a body of work by age 17, is an expert at constructing beautifully layered soundscapes that morph and blossom into lush, bombastic pop anthems. The band released their first album "Be He Me" in 2006 to much critical acclaim. After tours with The Flaming Lips, Bloc Party and Calexico & Minus the Bear, Annuals continued to impress with their exuberant live performances, Southern charm, youthful attitude and amazingly crafted and eclectic songs. If their sound proved the limitless possibilities of their musical imaginations, their shows established them as a mad, energetic force in which members often switched instruments between and during songs. And now, Annuals are ready for more.
"Count the Rings" will be Annuals first European release since "Be He Me". It is a compelling mix of the band's favorite songs and b-sides that have yet to see the light of day outside of the US. All songs are written by Adam and most produced & recorded by him in Annuals owned hometown, Terpsikhore Studios. This is Annuals the way they want you to hear them. Very appropriately, the first single from "Count the Rings" is a catchy once b-side, "Eyes in the Darkness".
"Count the Rings" encompasses the pure energy of what Annuals are made of and known for; the quirky experimentalism, the intrinsic pop sensibility, the impeccable production & the boundless independent spirit. Electrifyingly alive.

Distinguish EA from an enterprise wide solution architecture
Feb 19, 2013
EA was initiated to overcome the challenge of stovepipe system, It should not be this difficult to define "What is EA?" by considering that Solution architects are the "Guru" to create unique and optimized solutions for a set of specific requirements. In this capacity, solution architect also contributes to stovepipe systems. On the other hand, EA is the effort to minimize redundant efforts, they are the "Glue" to learning experience of the others, building common ground and facilitate collaborative culture.
Yet, the EA community have difficult time to define "What is EA?" due the confusing EA as the enterprise wide solution architecture. The first version of EA is evolved from solution architecture concept. In addition, most of the EA community come from solution architecture background too. The EA model, for example the popular NIST EA model, the EA Framework; For example: the Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework and the Open Group EA framework, are based on solution architecture concept. All of this approaches sounds like a enterprise wide solution architecture and practice like a solution architecture, therefore EA is also confused as the enterprise wide solution architecture. Many Enterprise architects are actually the solution architects in EA skin.
The consequence of taking EA as the enterprise wide solution has lead to today awkward EA bottleneck. EA, as a enterprise wide solution architecture, has very much denied EA as an emerging paradigm where solution architects automatic become an enterprise architects by taking on enterprise wide architecture task. Their discipline of designing an unique and optimize system help to create a bigger stove pipe system. Many organization have made significant investment with very marginal return because
1. It requires significant investment of time and resources.
2. It is very likely to create a bigger stovepipe .
3. Lack of buy-in from the stakeholders.
4. Enterprise is organic, the enterprise scale solution architecture become obsolete before the ink dry.
What is EA?
EA is an emerging paradigm rather than a large scale solution architecture. It requires the discipline not only to see the enterprise big picture but also know the parts and facilitate collaborative culture. Enterprise Architects are the "Glue" to:
. Enable every one to see the whole and know the parts.
. Minimize stove pipes, silo system and islands of information.
. Enable agility in adapting to change via learning experience of the other, looking for common ground, reuse and interoperability.
. Facilitate collaborative culture and building consensus.
. EA is able to close gaps between strategy and execution by enabling every one to see the big picture and know the parts; facilitate collaborative culture and building consensus and enable agility in adapting to change.
The Difference between EA and enterprise wide solution architecture
The following table distinguish EA from enterprise solution architecture.
Solution Architecture contribute to stovepipe system
Solution Architecture method provide optimized solution to satisfy unique set of requirements which also contribute to stovepipe solution.
EA was initiated to overcome stovepip system
EA was initiated to overcome stovepipe system. The only way to to overcome stovepipe system is to take a holistic architecture instead taking as an enterprise scale solution architecture. A enterprise wide solution architecture is not a efficient approach to overcome the challenge of stovepipe. It may create a biger stove pipe system.
Solution Architecture for simple system, EA for complex system
Base on the Cynefin framework[], Solution architecture for simple system, Enterprise Architecture of complex system. It describe that all human interactions are strongly influenced and frequently determined by our experiences, both through the direct influence of personal experience, and through collective experience, such as stories or music.
EA is in holistic paradigm. Solution Architecture is in scientific paradigm EA and Solution Architecture are in very different paradigm, EA is in holistic paradigm and solution architecture is in scientific paradigm.
Solution Architects are the "Guru" and Enterprise Architects are the "Glue".
Enterprise Architects are very distinctive from Solution architects. Solution Architects are the "Guru" to design optimize and unique solution which also contribute to stovepipe solution. Enterprise Architects are the "Glue" to overcome the challenge of stovepipe via the engineering reuse and interoperability rather than creating a bigger stove pipe.

Abstract: It is an indisputable fact that the computer information revolution has fundamentally changed library services across the nation for the past decades. Two recent advancements of information technologies, in particular, had significant impact on Library services. First, the introduction of CD-ROM technology has provided library users powerful access to large databases. Second, the creation of electronic networks has made online remote information access a reality. With the introduction of CD-ROM had a powerful impact on the storage and retrieval of information. CD-ROMs have proved particularly effective for storing bibliographical references. What are the CD-ROM Databases, why we use them and why we don't want to use them in academic libraries are discussed briefly. Types of databases are explained by illustration. Search features commonly available in four selected CD-ROM databases such as keyword search, phrase search, Boolean search etc are discussed briefly. The selected CD-ROM databases are Ulrich's on disc from Directory, Ei Compendex Bibliographic database, and Emerald full-text database of journal article. Some of the general issues related to the searching and retrieval of information from CD-ROM databases are briefly discussed. Some common points have been identified that the user must consider in order to quickly accessing information on CD-ROM databases in an effective way.

Standards for Creating Bibliographic Databases in Indian Academic Libraries under INFLIBNET UmbrellaChandrakar, Rajesh; Prakash, K; Chand, Prem; Murthy, T A V (INFLIBNET Center, November NaN, 2004)[more][less]
Abstract: In the field of library and information science, importance of cataloguing, classification, abstracting and indexing standards play a major role to represent the appropriate information of any document for patron's use. In beginning, these standards were used to the documents in the print formats like shelf list, catalogue card etc. Gradually, after the invention of the computer technology, representation of information in print format has changed into the electronic format. There with the development of technology, due to flood of information and variations in the representation of the information, were forced the profession to develop different bibliographic standards; till date almost more than 30 bibliographic standards has emerged. Thus, every country is following their own bibliographic standards for representing the print documents into the electronic format. Same way, India is also working in creating the bibliographic databases of the resources available in different academic libraries of the country. INFLIBNET (Information and Library Network) Centre, UGC, Ahmedabad has embarked upon this issue and working in war footing level to achieve the goal.

Abstract: As -and when the number of resources grows, complexity in organizing the static pages will also grow and it becomes very unfriendly to the end-users. In this situation one may have to think about database driven WebPages that would help the end users to interact with the stored information to retrieve the required information. The web databases have become very popular in the Internet world for organizing the Information resources. Library and Information centers can effectively utilize this web technoiogy for improving as well as delivering new services.

Abstract: Information is available in many different forms. Search Engines are very useful tools to find out information available on the net. The competition among Internet search engines is intense, and that's good news for net users. But despite each search service's attempt to become the ultimate online find-it tool, no single service can cater for every need. Library and Information professional use this type of tools and get better result from the site, use popular search engines. Internet is a wide network many type of information can get it. In this paper the Authors suggest that the resources are available in the net somehow know web address of the site without any information of the site find the information. For better use of this one should use the search engine. Search engines have a variety of ways to refine and control your searches. Some of them offer menu systems for this. Others require you to use special commands as part of the query. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/425 Files in this item: 1

A friend of mine and I hunt with similiar equipment in a similiar fashion.
We think we have noticed a trend lately. That is, that as we have begun using more improved, higher velocity,more aerodynamic slugs, we have seen less sign at the point of impact. No hair or very little hair and almost never any blood at the scene until significantly farther down the trail.
Now I know that there are many variables to this issue-range, point of impact,etc. Off the top of my head from memory it seems that with me, anything under 80 yards has gone down like it was hit in the head with a hammer and longer range hits, while killing quickly have necessitated some level of tracking. Two cases: last years 8pt -126 yards, broadside chest shot. No sign at impact-ran 75 yards before piling up. Never left any sign.
Sunday nights doe- Broadside heart shot-135 yards No sign at impact, ran 85 yards. No sign for 15 yards. Lots of blood at 40 yards.
In days or yore, it seemed that a blunt nosed, slow moving foster or modified foster smacked the deer in such a way as to leave more sign at the scene.
I would be interested in any personal anecdotes or opinions. Could be an interesting thread no?

The 2013 Carriage Association of America's (CAA) Carriage Festival Weekend and Carriage Festival Pleasure-driving Show is being held at the Kentucky Horse Park on June 28–30.
The CAA Carriage Festival is more than just a pleasure-driving show! The CAA caters to those who love the memory of a historic age when horse-drawn vehicles fulfilled so many needs of mankind. The CAA strives to be historically accurate, currently informative, and helpful to all who share appreciation of things that were.
Founded in 1960, the CAA is the oldest and largest international organization devoted to the preservation and restoration of horse-drawn carriages and sleighs. Thousands of people have been introduced to the wonders of collecting these vehicles and the pleasures of driving them while discovering the beauty and charm of a lifestyle that has all but vanished from our modern world.
The event takes place mostly in the park's Alltech Arena, consisting of part pleasure-driving show and part mini-conference. Participants and spectators alike will all find something to see, do, and enjoy at this year's inaugural CAA Carriage Classic. The pleasure-driving-show portion of the event will feature the standard pleasure-driving classes and several "just for fun" classes, in a variety of divisions. The event will also feature pleasure drives throughout the park, lectures, and social activities usually associated with a full CAA Conference.
Exhibit a carriage in the CAA's popular Carriage Showcase, a vehicle in the Antique Car Show or simply come to the park's Alltech Arena to watch it all and listen to several speakers on hand, who will educate and entertain! This event is suitable for all ages.

"The fighting has meant that we and our partners have not been able to access most of these areas," he said. "Only Mugunga III just outside Goma can be currently visited."
North and South Kivu face the greatest risk.
The Kivus are considered mineral-rich in a country known for its vast reserves of diamonds, gold and copper.
The area's potential for wealth has been plundered by greedy warlords. Civil wars -- most recently in the 1990s through 2003 -- have left millions dead and displaced entire generations.
On Tuesday, the United Nations moved all but a core team to Rwanda to avoid casualties and urged armed parties to ensure civilians' safety.
"In Goma, there have been reports of 60 assaults on civilians to our partners," Edwards said Friday. "Our partners are telling us eight people have been killed, and houses and shops have been looted."
Killings included six women, including one who was pregnant and an additional infant, according to Rupert Colville, a spokesman for the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights.
The fighting between M23 and the Congolese army has left the Kivus vulnerable to other armed groups, raising the possibility of the Lord's Resistance Army abducting children, said Marixie Mercado, a spokeswoman for the U.N. children's agency.
"There are other groups operating in the area, which raises the likelihood of recruitment of children," she said.
And the risks are not limited to violence.
"Before the crisis started, there were already 27,000 cases of cholera reported in the country," she said. " Running water in Goma has just been restored. It had been shut off for over a week and there are huge numbers of children collecting water from Lake Kivu which obviously raises the risk of disease spreading."
The U.N.'s refugee agency estimates that more than 589,000 people have been displaced in North and South Kivu since the beginning of the year. Oxfam estimates that 230,000 are affected by this crisis alone.

Unemployment rate inches up to 7.9%
Economy adds 157,000 jobs
UPDATED 9:12 AM EST Feb 01, 2013
The jobs recovery continued to crawl forward in January, as employers hired 157,000 workers, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
Job growth at that level is weaker than in December, when employers added 196,000 jobs, and in line with last year's patterns.
Meanwhile, the unemployment rate was 7.9 percent in January.
The report comes amid conflicting signs about the overall recovery. There has been some strength, most notably in housing, but the economy contracted recently for the first time in more than three years and the debate over government spending continues.

I contemplate this idea quite often. Some people act as if they would quit playing, if it was finally solved. I would guess checkers is already solved, but I am sure people still play. I think it could be possible for someone to memorize all of the nuances of checkers, but I don't think even the greatest memory I have ever seen for memorizing chess moves, could completely take advantage of it.
Even armed with the knowledge that, if one plays with one of today's popular openings or defenses, that would possibly become shown by engines, to produce a sure fire result for either side, should all of the best moves be made, we as humans will still be confronted with the daunting task of memorizing the best lines, and hoping if our opponent forces us into a different line, that it won't garner a different result.
Does anyone else see it differently? I could possibly see the Magnus Carlsens of the world, perhaps taking advantage of one opening for white, but you can't always use the same defense. I just don't see anyone ever being anywhere close to, being able to memorize enough, that they would be unbeatable.
If I am not way off base here with my idea, why is it then, people would want to quit playing Chess? It makes no sense to me. Besides, if we all suddenly have access to NZT and can remember it all. I am sure with our newly increased intellect we will create something new and chess-like to challenge each other and ourselves.
Chess will never be solved. The numbers clearly demonstrate that. I can't see a point in contemplating the impossible.
If chess is solved (all positions cataloged) it doesn't seem like 960 would hold out for more than... a month after that?
But I see your point and agree nameno1had. Especially amateurs who live by dubious trappy openings, that we have the theory today to refute, people still don't set about memorizing a few hundred variations to become experts in it.
And as you said, how much more would be required to stonewall a mainline opening especially at the highest level.
I'd add another point that for most players chess might as well be solved. In present day 2012 when we want an authoritative answer about a position we go to the oracle (houdini, stockfish et al.)
Once a club-mate has this funny owens/sicilian hybrid that I was having trouble with. My cpu told me I was winning by a pawn! So I sat down with some paper, wrote out the refutation of all lines, and memorized it. The next week I beat that thing as if he were facing a GM, and he hasn't played it since (although I've forgotten the moves by now heh).
what if math was solved? i mean, what if the hardest equation we can think of was put to rest by some genius? would the rest of the matematicians necessarily know how to do it? nope.
if chess as we know it is ever 'solved', only 0.000001% of players will realize how to capitlize on it and us patzers will continue to love the game, anyhow. :)
Opening theory can never be memorised for the 960 version, too many opening positions available. That means for practical purposes the 960 version cannot be solved.
I was just guessing. Obviously many 960 middlegame (and nearly all endgame) positions would fall into the classic chess solved category. I wonder how many unique positions 960 adds relative to the total number classic chess contains.
Or in other words, if a computer calculates and catalogs classic chess's (I'll guess 10^50) legal game positions, does 960 really add a noticeable amount? I'd tend to think that a few extra thousand (million?) wouldn't make much difference.
Oh did you mean not practical for a human to memorize? I think classic chess's solution is the same. I'm sure there are many moves that maintain a draw... it's not as if there will be only a few "good" moves in the solution.
Yeah, but once chess is solved, lets say e4, e5 is a win for White, and e5 is the best response to e4, than people will play something else. Chess will become a game of memorization, not to find the best move. People will play an inferior move, hoping that the opponent would concentrate on the best move, and not know how to play against the inferior move.
Fischer already solved chess thats why he retired
if i only had the option of playing against a computer, i would quit playing chess... the game would have zero appeal to me..
what makes chess interesting to me are the interesting people i've played with, without them there is nothing to share, if fabulous combinations and chess wizardry was the domain of computers then i couldn't care less
computers and crackers are the side of chess that could make me quit
Are you able to decode the personality merely from the game? I don't normally end up in stimulating conversation during games. I usually only play online too. I would try to keep it short in live chess.
I do really enjoy good conversation in OTB games... I would try to this in online games too but, I have had many people tell me they don't like to talk to me because, I think too much... I used to think that I thought too much, but I rethought it and realized some people enjoy being mental midgets...
I agree. If there are 960 possible possible starting positions as compared to standard's one, then there are 960 times the amount of possible openings, atleast.
I think you think people think you think alot because you think people think you think too much
Solving chess will (likely) only prove that it's a draw.
And didn't we alreadly know that? So what's the problem here?
This makes sense, because transpositions would be totally unthinkable.
(are you kidding?)
Are you sure thats why? I think you should think about it and make sure you have expounded on it properly.
I dont know how to expound sorry
i totally gave up live chess, ending up boring my ass off
Me too, for that reason and because, I can't handle the thought I was cheated, while being stressed so much ,and not realistically having a chance to atleast give the engine a game.
If you think about it enough, the right answer will come to you.
no time im going to play laser chess which is imposible to solve

Sweet robotic joy—you just unwrapped an Android phone and, man, is it shiny. Here are our suggestions for apps to grab, settings to tweak, and really nifty things you can do with your Google-powered mini-supercomputer.
With luck, your shiny new Android phone is running Jelly Bean or at least Ice Cream Sandwich, so not a ton of updating should be required. If you're coming from an old Android phone, we have a guide specifically for you that will show you how to move all of your apps, settings, and data from your old phone to your new one. Still, there's nothing wrong with a fresh start with a brand new phone, so let's start from the beginning. Your awesome new Android phone is capable of a lot. Here's just a taste of what it can do:
Get the Latest and Greatest Google Stuff
Before you start playing around and getting used to how things work, why don't you do two quick things: Set up a Wi-Fi connection, then update your phone's built-in applications. There are likely newer versions available than the ones you have on your just-opened phone, so they're worth picking up.
To connect to Wi-Fi, hit your phone's Menu button (the button with either parallel lines, or the two boxes), choose System Settings from the menu that pops up, then under Wireless & Networks tap Wi-Fi. On the next screen, enable Wi-Fi and wait for the list of nearby networks to update. Pick out your home router name (or your relatives'), enter a password if necessary, and now have some fun.
Open the Play Store app from your list of applications (press the grid-like, bottom-middle on-screen button to get there if it's not on one of your home screens), then tap the Menu button and select "My Apps." The list should be separated, with apps you have updates for at the top. Tap "Update" to update them all at once. If you don't see updates for some of your apps, you may have to search them out to download the newer version.
- Google Maps: Google Maps shines on Android. Seriously - in addition to offering you free turn-by-turn navigation, Google Maps can help you with walking directions, public transit to your destination, and it even offers maps and walking directions of indoor places like airports and museums so you can find your way around. You might also pick up some "splinter" apps, like Google Local.
- Gmail: The ubiquitous mail app just picked up pinch to zoom, swipe to delete, and some other handy features not too long ago. Make sure to update to the newest version.
- Voice Actions/Search or Google Now: Google Search for Android controls your phone with your voice, but can send SMS messages, navigate you to your destination, place calls, find nearby businesses, and more as you talk to it. If you're running Jelly Bean, you get the full benefit of Google Now, a full-on virtual assistant that responds to your voice, keeps an eye on when you should leave for your next appointment or go home to beat the traffic, helps you manage travel, and much more. If you have Ice Cream Sandwich, you can get it too with some work, but Search offers many of the voice features we love.
- Google Chrome: Even though it's only available on Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean devices, Google Chrome sings on Android. It left beta earlier this year and is one of the best Android browsers available. If you use Chrome on the desktop, Chrome Sync is built-in, so open tabs, bookmarks, passwords, and history are all available everywhere, and most importantly, it's blazing fast.
- Google+: We love Google+, and think it's great for a lot of things even if (and especially if) your friends may not be on it. The Android app just picked up a huge update for people who love sharing photos, checking into their favorite locations, and hanging out via Google Hangouts video chat. Once you're all signed up and set up, don't forget to add Lifehacker to your circles!
- Google Play Music: If you're really going to live the Android life, Google Music is both a music store and a music locker with millions of tracks and label support, and tons of cloud storage for your uploaded songs and your purchased music, all for free, and all accessible on your Android phone. Google Play Music just picked up scan-and-match so you don't have to spend days uploading songs, and considering the app can play music in the cloud or on your phone, we think it's a good choice for a secondary media player.
- Google Currents: Google's magazine-style newsreader looks great, hooks into Google Reader so you can read your favorite blogs, and offers featured and curated content in a variety of categories to help you stay up to date and share interesting reads with your friends. The app was just updated to make breaking news easier to find and more news categories easier to read.
- Set up Google Voice(mail): If you're intrigued by Google Voice, Google's one-number service with free SMS and other perks, Android is where you should be. You can even port your number to Google Voice so no one calling you knows the difference. Still, even if you don't want to, you can use Google Voice as your voicemail provider and send texts through the web. Activate the Voice app on your phone, and it will take care of your phone's configuration. From then on, your voicemail will go to Google, where it'll be transcribed, archived, and managed like email on your phone. You can even read or listen to your voicemail on the web, mark telemarketers as spam, and set up multiple greetings for different people. If you're an SMS fanatic, the app has been supports group texting and voicemail pre-fetching, so no more getting a voicemail in Google Voice and only being notified on your Android phone hours later.
- Get Google Drive: Drive, the new name for Google's combination of Google Docs and cloud storage space, is just as great on your Android device as it is on the desktop. Well, mostly anyway—the mobile app just picked up editing and presentation support, which makes it useful for quick file edits as well as just viewing documents you need to review on the go.
Install Some Killer Apps
Android apps? Oh, we've got plenty of those.
- Lifehacker Pack for Android: Our List of the Best Free Android Downloads: Check out our Lifehacker Pack, which includes our favorite apps for communicating, being productive, viewing media, and otherwise getting the most use out of Android. Also, stop by the Lifehacker App Directory series, where we highlight the best Android apps in select categories. You can roll back through our Android-only picks using the Android App Directory tag.
- How to Get iOS 6's Best New Features in Android: If you're keeping tabs on all of the things iOS has to offer, never fear—for every feature in iOS 6, there's a way to get similar functionality in Android and then some, thanks to some great third-party apps.
- Most Popular Android Downloads of 2012: Apart from our list of essential apps, there are also some really neat pieces of software we've featured over the past year.

Wo if you've still got a few holes after checking out the Pack and most popular, you're sure to find what you're looking for here.
Start Syncing Your Music, Videos, and Pictures
Your Android doesn't need a USB cable to play or sync music on your desktop computer—though it can work that way, if that's more your speed. But setting up Wi-Fi syncing and internet streaming for your Android is so simple, you might never need to cord-hunt again when you want to switch up your playlist.
- Music Player Showdown: Which Desktop Player Is Best for Syncing to Android?: If you want to use your Android phone as a music player (and survey says you do) then you'll need a media player that rocks when it comes to syncing your music. If you don't want to use Google Music (or can't, since it's US-only), Whitson has some options for you.
- How to Sync Android with Windows as Seamlessly as an iPhone: Speaking of easy, Whitson walked us through the process of syncing our Android phones with your Windows systems quickly and easily in a way that's repeatable without a ton of hassle.
- Upgrade Your Smartphone's Music and Podcast Abilities This Weekend: While it's not Android-only, this guide to beefing up your smartphone's media capabilities will get you rocking out and listening to your favorite podcasts on your device in no time.
- How Can I Get an iTunes-Like Experience For My Android Phone?: If you're coming to Android from an iPod, iPod Touch, or iPhone, you may be wishing there were a way to just plug-in your Android device and sync all of your media, music, and podcasts. Thankfully, there are plenty of ways to do it, and we're happy to show you how.
- How to Set Up Your Android for Automated Wi-Fi Syncing with DoubleTwist: When this is set up-and, really, it only takes about 15 minutes, much less if you've already connected AirSync-you'll have a computer and phone that "check in" with each other regularly over Wi-Fi. No cables needed, and you don't have to click the Sync button.
- Winamp for Android Updates, Now Syncs with Macs Wirelessly: If DoubleTwist isn't right for you, try Winamp for Android—it syncs with Macs and Windows PCs over USB or wirelessly, syncs iTunes playlists, and is overall and excellent music player for Android. We've mentioned it before, and it still whips the llama's a**.
Troubleshoot the Tricky Stuff
Your Android phone is a great device, and Android as a mobile OS is much more mature and polished now than it used to be. Still, there are times where you need to troubleshoot problems and fix issues you'll run up against. Here are some tips. Photo by Sylvain Naudin.
- How to Upgrade to a New Android Phone and Take Everything With You: If your new Android device is a replacement for an old one, taking your data with you is easy. We show you how.
- How to Set Up a Fully Automated App and Settings Backup on Android: Once you get your Android device all set up and to your liking, don't let tragedy happen to you. Make sure you make sure your phone is regularly backed up so you don't have to worry about your data. Your Android phone is a mini-computer that has a lot of precious information on it, and keeping it safe is easy and takes only a few minutes to set up.
- How to Speed Up, Clean Up, and Revive Your Android Phone: After installing a bunch of apps and games, your phone might slow down a good bit. Never fear, cleaning it up and getting back the speed you need is easier than you think.
- How Can I Fix My Android's Crappy GPS: Turn-by-turn navigation and Google Maps are great...when they don't take forever to initialize and pinpoint your position. Here's how to fix that little annoyance, once and for all.
- Use Android's 'Safe Mode' to Disable Apps and Troubleshoot Problems: Apps giving you trouble? Installed or uninstalled something and now your phone is slow as molasses? Android's built-in "safe mode" may be able to help.
- How Do I Fix My Bricked Android Phone?: One of the first things many of you may do with a brand new Android phone is root it and possibly install a new ROM. If that process doesn't go very well and you wind up with a brand new hunk of plastic and metal on your desk that's completely unresponsive, all may not be lost! There are plenty of ways to approach a so-called "bricked" phone that may bring it back to life.
- The Best Data Usage Tracker for Android: Just as many smartphones added tethering support and enough great features that we wanted to use the hell out of our data plans, most carriers are killing unlimited plans and serving up overage fees for breaking your bandwidth caps. If you have Ice Cream Sandwich or Jelly Bean, you have tools built-in to keep an eye on your bandwidth usage, but if you want a per-app breakdown and some more tools, try this app.
- How Do I Convert Video for my Android Phone?: Converting videos for the iPod is so easy in iTunes, but I can't seem to get videos to play on my Android device. How can I convert videos so that they'll play in the native Android video player?
- Android Task Killers Explained: What They Do and Why You Shouldn't Use Them: Android task killers improve your phone's performance while also boosting battery life-or at least that's the much-debated promise. Here's a look at how task killers actually work, when you should (or shouldn't) use them, and what you can do instead.
Expand Your Phone's Capabilities
Beyond apps and tweaks, you can make your phone do some really neat things. Things like tell you where it is if it's lost or stolen. Things like play any song or video you happen to have on a nearby TV. Things like send a text back to your wife to let her know you're driving, not just callously ignoring her calls.
- The Always Up-To-Date Guide to Rooting Any Android Phone: We recently updated our Android rooting guide to include lots of ICS and Jelly Bean-friendly options and tools for newer devices on the market now. One of the best things you can do to extend the functionality of your Android device is root it, and we're happy to show you how.
- Five Best Android Launchers: One way to extend the features of your phone just by installing an app is to grab a new Android launcher. It'll completely change the way you interact with your phone, and in many cases it's free, can actually add features you didn't have in the first place, and offer you more customization options. Here are five great ones to choose from.
- How to Choose the Right Android ROM for You: Ready to take the next step after rooting? If you really want to completely customize and tweak your Android experience, or just relieve yourself of carrier crapware and try out a new version or flavor of Android, installing a new ROM is the way to go. Think of it like installing a new OS on your computer—meaning you should be careful to back up your data and do your homework beforehand. Need some suggestions? Check out these five great Android ROMS.
- How to Get Better Battery Life and Performance on Your Android Phone with a New Kernel: What's that? Rooting and installing a new ROM isn't enough for you? Well then, you might want to consider installing a whole new kernel for the ultimate performance boost. It's not for the weak of heart, but the benefits definitely outweigh the drawbacks. Just back up and make sure you know what you're doing before you start. Our guide will walk you through it.
- How to Turn Your Android into a Killer Portable Media and Gaming Center: Want to get your game on with your Android phone or tablet? Sure, there are plenty of games you can play on the device, but why not use it as a media center, or hook it up with your TV for some serious gaming?
- How to Turn Your Android or iPhone into a Portable Retro Game Arcade: Maybe you prefer retro, old school games, back when skill mattered more than graphics and pixels reigned supreme? Well, with a little work and a couple of apps, you can turn your Android device into a retro game arcade, capable of playing some of your favorite classic titles anywhere you go. Here's how to get started.
- Use Your Android Phone as a Wi-Fi Hotspot for Free: The beauty of Android is that you can tether your phone to any device in your home pretty easily, and largely for free, as long as you don't go over your data caps or anger your carrier. Here's how to do it, and never worry about your cable going out at home again.
- Turn Your Phone into a Universal Media Hub to Play Your Music, Photos, and Videos, Anytime, Anywhere: If you carry around media on your phone, sometimes it just won't cut it to play your songs through your headphones or your video on that tiny screen. Here's how you can turn your Android phone into a hub that can wirelessly play the movie you have downloaded on the big screen, or stream your favorite tunes to the stereo in another room.
- How to Stream Media from Your Home to Your Phone Anywhere with Plex: If you'd rather leave the music and movies at home and take your phone with you on the go, this guide will walk you through turning your Android phone into a device you can use to enjoy all of the media you have at home, wherever you roam.
- Turn Your Android Phone into a Personal Trainer: Work off those pounds you put on thanks to the Thanksgiving turkey and the Christmas ham with your shiny new Android phone. There are plenty of apps to help you get the most out of your workouts at home, at the gym, or outside, keep track of your progress, and meet your health and weight loss goals. Here's how to turn that new phone into a pocket gym you can take with you anywhere.
- How to Find the Right Android Keyboard For You: Before you go too far with your Android phone, you may want to do something about the stock Android keyboard. There's nothing wrong with it, specifically, but there are some much better options out there that can make using your device easier and more fun.
- Do Android Antivirus Apps Actually Do Anything?: If you've been hearing all about Android malware and you're worried you'll need an antivirus or anti-malware app on your Android phone, read this first before you install one.
- How to Turn Your Tablet Into an Awesome Productivity-Boosting Second Screen: If you have an Android tablet, it doesn't have to just be an entertainment, social, and media device. It can be a great productivity booster as well, and you can do real work on it. Here's how.
- How to Track and (Potentially) Recover Your Stolen Laptop or Android with Prey: There are obvious reasons to like Prey. Chief among them, it's free to use for up to three devices of any kind, from computers running Windows, Mac, or Linux to Android devices. But that wouldn't mean anything if the tracking Prey provided wasn't really solid. It's not fool-proof, especially if the thief wants to entirely wipe your computer or phone, but if that's not the case, it gives you a fighting chance.

Too loud to ride to a stand or to get to where I wanna go but I use it for haulin out stuff after it has been shot. Has more power than I would ever need. With the addition of just the exhaust it will do a wheelie no problem at all. Also have a plow that I put on it when the snow starts flyin.

Flames GM keeping quiet on trade options
If Calgary Flames GM Jay Feaster has had a change of heart on his approach to the trade deadline, he isn't planning on telling anyone anytime soon. Two weeks ago, he followed up news that Ryan O'Reilly wouldn't be joining the Flames by saying his team was "going for it." When he said it, his club was 12th in the Western Conference, three points out of a four-way tie for eighth and, to be fair, was up 3-0 on the Avalanche in Colorado during the first intermission. Well, the Flames went on to lose that game, have since had their California collapse and now sit last in the west, four points out of a four-way tie for eighth before last night's games. There are 23 games left in the season and just nine before the April 3 trade deadline. The obvious question — make that a major concern, in many peoples' minds — is whether the Flames GM still sees his team as a trade-deadline buyer as it has the last three playoff-less seasons. Or has reality finally set in, leading the organization to realize it's time for significant change via a rebuild that could be expedited over the next few weeks while there are hungry bidders. "I have always been of the belief that such discussions, philosophical or otherwise, are not in the best interests of the organization," Feaster told the Calgary Sun via e-mail when asked about sharing his mindset with fans. "As such, I have attempted throughout my career, to refrain from speaking publicly about what we intend to do or how we plan on running our business until such time as we have an actual transaction, such as a trade or a contract signing, etc., to announce."

-- -- -- just dying to break out and spend and spend they did.
Online shopping up 30% yesterday compared with the same day a year ago those figures just released by IBM benchmark which tracks online -- Lot of people using mobile devices to get a shopping done.
Maybe that's the wave of the future.
According to -- such -- ComScore shoppers were expected to spend about a billion and a half yesterday that would be up 20% bonds via a jump anyway you slice it.
Now lot of about spending.
I'm pretty sure law is going to be on credit costs in fact credit card debt in America rose nearly 5%.
Over the -- -- compared to the previous -- Our next guest doesn't like it it doesn't like credit -- -- the -- -- Ramsey is -- from the national always a pleasure to welcome back.
Well -- -- merry Christmas tree Americas have to use you know like this do you you don't like debt you know like credit god you do not approve of -- -- buying and going into more debt.
-- -- -- -- Well I do I love Christmas you -- I don't think people need to run around the -- acting like during congress -- -- real quick enough money you know.
That's seriously yet you don't want -- Black Friday to put you personally into the red you know.
You you've got to be in control -- you don't wanna wake up in May and still have a financial hangover from the you know for from the -- that you made back in Christmas so just -- -- grown up make a list check it twice has been money you -- out OK so are you saying.
Get the cash.
Literally hand -- notes and coins would you buy back gift for Christmas as opposed to handing over the plastic do you object to any.
Credit card debt.
Well do you know I object to any credit card debt which you can buy -- line with PayPal.
And you buy online with debit cards mobile as you said has gone crazy -- during cyber.
Weak and on mobile is really the trend for the last two christmases.
Sites that don't have good mobile are not getting their bank.
And yet there's -- huge push from PayPal on this we've had a huge bump on our site with PayPal -- debit cards so a lot of there's a lot of ways to -- transactions cash certainly is a great idea.
Because you feel the pain when you spend with cash.
Have you any idea what proportion of people get into real trouble now I know that you would define trouble -- any kind of credit card debt any kind of net interest payment in the future.
That -- any idea what proportion through just can't pay the totally over in over their heads.
-- they go belly up what proportion.
-- it would be very small of that will be used to import proportion of the population files bankruptcy and so usually Christmas doesn't bankrupt -- But what it does is it's a continuation of a series of bad habits in your life.
That are causing -- -- not -- with money and we want to win with money we want to retire with dignity which is -- your kids to college.
We -- you -- you know live like no one else so -- you can live like no one else you don't like stuff do you.
You eat you know life like stopped at a -- though the consumers -- are you consume you by you by your by you don't like that.
You know what I don't want is I don't want people worshipping at the altar of the big screen.
You know we don't want a -- you don't wanna be defined by your stuff I've got a lot of nice stuff but it's just stuff.
You know you don't wanna get to the position that I'll be happy win -- -- I get this thing.
If -- happiness is based on your acquisition you really have a pretty shallow life do you think that's the kind of America that we have become.
Well there's a little bit of that that's that's running through some people's brains for sure.
And you know the felt the philosophy of how people are living their lives in some cases is broken in some cases -- just become susceptible to the advertising.
I mean -- advertise to more.
Per minute than any.
Culture in the history of mankind and as a result we by more than any culture in the history of mankind so we've just got to be grown ups and realize that.
You know we need to acquire some things and enjoy some things but not to the point that it destroys our family and our future I I don't think that you -- primarily in a columnist.
-- a financial one.
I think you off first and foremost a moralist I'm all right.
It could I've been accused of a lot of things pickup truck not on.
Written -- Hannity is always at the hawks have everything use.
Well is that there's a right in there is wrong and that's one of the things we forgot -- -- -- for there's a right way to do things are wrong way to do things and and so yeah others morality issue there there's a spiritual element there's an emotional element of psychological element.
A relational element because this is personal finance and so all of those are involved in how we make decisions and we believe about our future and what we place our -- it.
-- got -- you know Dave Ramsey -- awful lot of sense expect that.
Well it's an honor to be with you -- -- thank you very much indeed that I hope to see you soon real soon -- come back soon.
