what's the best part of your day?
laying next to my 2 year old just before bedtime, snuggled next to him in his tiny bed reading a story, talking about the day or singing a song. he's so sweet and vulnerable at that time. completely open and full of love. he says some incredible things at those moments and usually i leave with my cheeks soaked with tears and my heart full.
what inspires you?
the farmers market- gives me ideas for cooking/uncooking in the kitchen. my babies – to keep being the best person/mother/friend/daughter/wife i can be. my husband – his story of how he ended up where he is now keeps me reaching higher and higher. my parents – my dad has traveled all over the world as a documentary cinematographer and has a beautiful political and worldly perspective.
your favorite trip.
volunteering in a school in xela, guatemala. riding my bike to the school each day to see their shiny, sweet faces. riding on the "chicken bus" into town. teaching the kids and teachers yoga on the rooftop of the school. learning spanish with my private tutor who i'm still connected to. taking yoga classes completely in spanish. living with the most amazing family while there. giving. loving. growing.
what's your ideal sunday?
waking up after 8am (we have two babies who wake at 6:30a), walking to get a cappuccino at a small israeli bakery close-by, then walking around with my husband and babes enjoying the crisp morning LA air. gallivanting through the farmers market – getting fun new produce to use that evening in dinner or throw into a smoothie. later on, sneaking out to a yoga class (my "church") while my hubby watches the kids. spend the rest of the afternoon playing with the babes while snacking on healthy, beautiful food. have a big family meal that evening with my parents, sister, hubs and kids: full of wine, organic farmers market food and lots of laughter.
your favorite words of wisdom.
everything in moderation; even moderation.
"every thought you produce, anything you say, any action you do, it bears your signature."- thich nhat hanh
when do you feel most "you?"
when i'm spending time with my family–they bring out the best in me. Also, on my yoga mat. I feel I am at my true north, best self when I'm practicing. Even sitting on my yoga mat I feel I can connect to my best self.
what fulfills you?
my 2 year old, kai, laughing uncontrollably; a great, passionate discussion with a friend/loved one/stranger; spending wonderful time with my family & friends; a green veggie juice; journaling; giving back by donating my energy to those less fortunate; being in nature; almost anything spiritual.
your favorite outfit.
flannel shirt of my dads, old ripped jeans i've had for 10 years turned into shorts and a pair of boots or flip flops depending on the season.
what's on your ipod?
lots of krishna das. some hip-hop. meiko. sia. stars. a bit o' country.
five things you love.

The Chefs
Tracy Burgio
I have been in the restaurant industry for 20 years. When I first started, I worked as a bartender, server, and restaurant manager before moving to New York City to manage a restaurant in Times Square. This is where I discovered I needed to quit and go to culinary school. So I went to French Culinary Institute to study pastry, graduating in 2009. Then I moved to Chicago and worked under a famous Food Network Chef (who will remain nameless). After that I was accepted into an internship at a vegetarian hotel in Umbria, Italy. I moved to Italy for 4 months to cook at the most amazing place on earth. In September 2010 I returned to Rochester and started at RIT's Brick City Catering.
Autumn Geer
I was born and raised right here in Rochester, NY. My first job was at a little farm market restaurant in Hilton, NY at the age of 13. From there I worked at chain restaurants, starting entry level and quickly moving up the ranks. I took a break at age 17 and realized I belong in the culinary world. So I went back to the chain restaurants, starting at the bottom again and working my way up.
My Mother and Step Father bought Wojtczak's bakery that came with all the employees so I got the beautiful job of dishwasher. It wasn't a challenge for me so when I finished washing dishes I would jump in on the large-scale scratch baking. Because I caught on so quickly, we hired a new dish washer, and I became the head baker. I started developing new recipes and more efficient ways to do production. We hired an evening cake decorator who happened to work at RIT. She suggested that I talk to her boss and they hired me on to do all the baking and manage the deli in the Brick City Café and Catering. After 6 years of hard work, dedication, jumping out of my comfort zone and never backing down from a challenge I received a promotion. Almost 10 years later, here I am, still with the same mindset - challenging myself daily, giving my all and determined to never stop learning.

Our Experiences & Security System Monitoring pays off
May 25, 09, 12:04PM »
New to the board but willing to share our story...
We have been broken into 3 times in 51 weeks. We're guessing it's the same people each time.
We live on a very busy street with lots of traffic both day and night. There are street lights on the street in front of our house and on the side streets. However, we do have an alley behind our house which has no street lights.
Our first incident was on May 3, 2008. We had gone out of town on a Friday night only to come home on Saturday evening to find the glass in our back door busted and lots of stuff missing in the house (mostly guns, jewelry and electronics). Our back door was a steel door with a window. It had a deadbolt lock on it but we didn't use it so they simply broke the window, put their hand through and twisted the handle lock and opened the door. Pretty simple. They unscrewed the light bulb in the back which leads us to believe they came in the night some time. They then used our pillow cases, gym bags, etc to carry our belongings out the back door. They were not destructive thank goodness but they did take a lot stuff most of which was not covered on our insurance policy (needed a separate rider for the guns and jewelry). They exited via the alley behind our house. Neighbors didn't notice any activity which is kinda surprising as our alley is busy too as many neighbors garages incluing our own detached garage faces the alley. They didn't bother our attached or detached garage. However, they were nice enough to close the back door on their way out.
We replaced our back door but being dummy's we replaced it with the same kind of door. I like being able to see out into the backyard. However, we did start using our deadbolts on the back door and detached garage. The deadbolts are dual keyed. Well, four months later we went out of town for Labor Day only to be called by our son who was staying with a friend that we had been broken into. We had a 4 hour trip home early from our vacation to meet with police and fill out a report. They entered the house in the same place as before only since they couldn't get past the deadbolt they simply broke out the window in the back door enough to climb through and then exited through the front door with much more of our belongings. Again, the bulb in the light out back had been unscrewed which leads us to believe it must have been dark when they had come this time. However, they didn't unscrew or turn off the front porch light when they carried stuff out front unless they screwed it back in or turned it back on when they left. They did shut the front door. Remember, I live on a busy street both day and night and they walked out the front door with a 52" flat screen tv and 2 large racks of DVD's. I mean, they took the rack and all. They walked it almost to the front sidewalk to get around a pickup truck parked in our front driveway to get through the gate and enter the back yard. Unbelievable!
Both times the police looked for finger prints but found nothing. They said it appeared they were wearing gloves. There were foot prints out back but they didn't take any pictures or anything. Said it was a waste of time.
At any rate, we were pretty frustrated. We had been looking at a security system but hadn't had the money to get it put in yet. Well, we now have one and we probably went a bit overboard but we have it. We have glass break detectors in every room (including the attached garage) except the living room which has a motion detector. The front, back and attached garage door all have door sensors. We have one wireless motion detector in the detached garage. We also had smoke/fire detectors installed in the basement, upstairs, attached and detached garage. We don't have a landline as we use Vonage internet phone service. Due to the possibility of problems with the phone service (which would still exist with a landline if they cut the line) we also went with the radio backup service to ensure we are able to communicate with the monitoring service at all times.
Well, our new security system was put to the test just a month ago. On Friday, April 24 at half after noon my husband received a call from the monitoring service stating that our alarm was activated. We both work full time and our son was at school so we had them dispatch the police. The alarm montioring service had notified the police that the living room motion detector had been activated. When my husband arrived home a police officer was sitting in his vehicle in front of the house. He stated the house looked secure so he hadn't done anything. Well, my husband entered through the front garage which was our normal and deactivated the alarm. No one was in the house. He then went outside to the back and noticed pry marks in the door frame of the detached garage. We at first got upset with the monitoring service thinking they told them the wrong thing and therefore the police didn't go around back. Well, after the police left we called the monitoring service and they stated the living room detector is the one that was activated. After further investigation we found pry bar marks on the front door as well. We couldn't believe it. They had actually gotten the front door open enough to enter the house and activate the alarm. We are guessing there must have been at least two of them and the 2nd one was trying to gain access to the back garage at the same time. At any rate, they didn't get anything this time. Thank goodness so the security system did it's job. Of course, no one saw or heard anything again. We couldn't believe it. We have one neighboor on the side streen where the lady of the house doesn't work and their backyard lines 1/2 the alley behind our house. She didn't hear or see anything. Ugh!
We now have an external siren installed. Hopefully if they ever try it again someone will hear the siren and maybe see something when trying to figure out where the sound is coming from.
We find it hard to believe they came back to our house again. We have a bigger security sign on a stake right by the steps leading up to our front door. We also have a security sticker on every window in our house. Doesn't look good but hey, if it gets the point across then... We also replaced out 4' chain link fence with a 6' wooden fence. We put a big security monitoring sign on the fence facing the alley as well. In addition we put a no tresspassing sign on the fence. We eliminated the gate to the alley but we still have a gate to the front of the house (need to get the mower back there somehow). However, it has 3 locks on it. The one on top and bottom are simple slide locks. However, the latch has a padlock on it that requires a key. The gate has a no tresspassing sign bolted to it as well. They actually scaled the 6' wooden fence out back to gain access to the back yard. I guess they figured if they gained access to the garage that they would simply carry everything out the garage door itself. We have noticed that they have bent our garage door along the top of it trying to gain access to the pull cord to disable the automatic garage door opener to allow them to open the door. However, we have that wired up pretty good so I don't think they are gonna be successful. We have installed 3 motion detector lights out back. One above the garage door facing the alley and 2 in the back yard. They come on at dusk only 1/2 illuminated but go to full illumination when motion is detected.
We have also installed patio pins in all of our windows of the house as well. There is no way for them to get any of our windows open without breaking them. We have no tresspassing sign in our front picture window. We painted the windows of our front door with frosted paint so you cannot see in them. We also put up new blinds in all our windows to block all views in the house.
We almost feel like a prisoner in our own home sometimes. It's awful but what else do you do?
We are now looking into some cameras. We are thinking of installing 1 in the house, 1 in the attached garage, 1 in the detached garage and at least 3 of them outdoors. Possibly more. We are looking at network, megapixel cameras and an NVR. I have posted in the CCTV forum looking for any advice. I have been doing a lot of research on cameras and learning a lot about them and their acronyms. Whew! I am not a camera person at all but do know computers so figure this is a good way for us to go.
I feel for anyone that has had to go through anything like we have. We have lived in our house for 12 years now and never had any problems. Now in the past year we have been burglarized 3 times!!!
I do hope they get caught soon. It's just not right. And it's a fairly traumatic experience.
We just purchased a couple of new signs for the house off ebay. They state "No Tresspassing. Violators will be shot. Survivors will be shot again."

Interesting account. Very interesting.
Just one thing...if you really have guns...and would use them in an
appropriate situation...it probably wouldn't help you if you are being
prosecuted or sued for shooting someone, while you have "violators shot, survivors shot again" signs. Those signs lose their humor when it
actually happens.
Nice post. Thank you.

I agree about the signs. We purchased them but have not posted them and do not know that we will. It's just so frustrating. We have to humor ourselves sometimes.
We have purchased 2 surveillance cameras though and will be getting them installed in the next couple of weeks. Hopefully they will leave us alone and if not we get lucky and get them on camera. Or maybe even help someone else if we get something on camera going on in the alley. We have learned a lot in the last year that I would have never dreamt could happen and how bold and confident they appear to be. It's pretty scary actually.
We've learned a lot about our insurance as well
But we are in a better position now for more than just theft so it's all good. We might just have to go into the security business once we're all done!

That seems like a unbelievable story, but the sad truth is it's not.
We all know it's exactly whats happening in every neighborhood, country road and suburb in the US right now. I had a 185lb guy break through just one side of a basement casement window and get in without actually opening the whole window (it was welded shut - securely), he kicked out a dryer vent that was in place of one side of the glass and entered there - the hole was maybe 10X13... He just wasn't smart enough to get back out of it before the police arrived
It's amazing what they can sliver through to get what they want...

Not sure exactly how your fences look, but make sure you are not actually creating a safe haven for the robbers. If people cannot see into your yard, then they know they have free reign to do whatever they want.
The same goes for outside lighting. Too many people have lights of the corners of their house pointing out towards the street. This simply blinds someone that might be looking at you house and allows someone to "hide" up against the house.
Just a couple of things to think about.

It's nice to be back behind the keyboard with something other than C# coming out of my fingers.

While I think the type="number" here is clever (we could even add a max using total_pages), it isn't very good UX, as you still have to hit enter to actually trigger the refresh. There's no button to click. Introducing this will only confuse people on how, after clicking things, to get to the page they chose. More at http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/17863#comment:31.

Sociology and Criminal Justice Club to Run 3 on 3 Wheelchair Basketball Fundraiser
Hackettstown, N.J. – Centenary College's Sociology and Criminal Justice Club will be holding a 3 on 3 Wheelchair Basketball tournament to support Focus on the Future, the food bank in Independence Township (N.J.), from 6 to 11 p.m. April 2, 2013, in the John M. Reeves Student Recreation Center. There is no cost to attend, though attendees are asked to donate non-perishable food items or make a monetary donation in lieu of an entrance fee.
Focus on the Future was founded 10 years ago through a cooperative effort between Independence Township Police Chief Dennis Riley and Pastor Jim Craig of the Vienna United Methodist Church. As of January 2013, the Bank assists 70 families on a bi-weekly or monthly basis. In addition, Focus on the Future has hosted a Christmas gift drive for the past five years at the Great Meadows Middle School.
"Due to the poor economy, donations are very low at the pantry," says Chief Riley. "Having Centenary College's support is heartwarming. We would really appreciate help with replenishing non-perishable food items, toilet paper, shampoos and soaps. These are everyday items that we take for granted that someone else may not have. In addition to that, we collect toys and presents year-round for our events, and any monetary donations will be accepted and put in an account for those items that we desperately need."
For more information, please call Edward Medow, President of the Sociology and Criminal Justice Club, at (201) 873-6548 or Chief Riley at (908) 637-6582.
Founded in 1867 by the Newark Conference of the United Methodist Church, Centenary College's academic program integrates a solid liberal arts foundation with a strong career orientation. This mix is designed to provide an educational experience that prepares students to succeed in the increasingly global and interdependent world.
Centenary College's main campus is located in Hackettstown, N.J., with its equestrian facility in Washington Township (Morris County). The Centenary College School of Professional Studies offers degree programs in three locations: Hackettstown, Parsippany and Edison, and at corporate sites throughout New Jersey. The School of International Programs recruits international students for study at Centenary and Centenary students for study abroad.

My own recent experience is a great example of why the reach and effectiveness of CPM campaigns is often underrated. First, consider that I've been working in online advertising and development for over ten years, so people like me tend to click on ads even less than the average consumer.
Several months ago I was on an entertainment-related site that I visit from time-to-time when I noticed a leaderboard and 300x250 campaign promoting the upcoming second season of Showtime's Californication starring David Duchovny. I hadn't seen the show before but I'd heard good things about it, so upon seeing the ad I jumped onto my Netflix account and added the show's first season to my rental queue. Within two weeks my wife and I had finished the first season and were hooked, so we promptly called Comcast to order Showtime just in time for the second season. Since then we've also caught up on some of their other shows such as Weeds, and I was pleased that they picked up Inside the NFL after it was dropped by HBO. Needless to say, we are now loyal subscribers and their campaign for Californication was extremely successful in my case. In fact, we have since encouraged some of our friends to give the show a chance and many of them are now Showtime subscribers as well. We even purchased the first three seasons of Weeds on DVD as a gift for my father-in-law.
The point of this little story is that I never actually clicked on the ad, but it still led to my household subscribing to Showtime. There's absolutely no possible way to measure my conversion as a consumer or give quantifiable credit to the web site where I viewed the campaign.
I'm not suggesting that CPC or conversion campaigns don't have their place in the online advertising arena, especially for clients with a very limited budget or companies that may have based their business model on an application that the user must download. But for brand clients it simply doesn't make sense if their goal is to reach as many viewers as possible within their target demographic. Sometimes the best results are the ones you can't track.

Unlocked Rogers Bold 9000 on Koodo
My brother's Bold 9000 on BBOS 5 was unlocked and he has switched to Koodo: despite following the directions of tech support, he has been unable to get any data services on his BB9000. He can of course make and receive phone calls.
Here are the instructions I transcribed from the tech support call... can anyone see any 'gaps' that might be keeping the data features from working?

If Koodoo has everything set up on their end, make sure WiFi is off, and on the 9000's browser, go to www.blackberry.com/integrate
That should register you on the BB Wireless network.Cuius testiculos habes, habeas cardia et cerebellum...

Thanks for this... unfortunately, he doesn't have data at all. I think when I can get my hands on the phone for a while I may be able to do something for him.

Ive got the same issue with my unlocked 9000 on tmobile's network in the US. I spent a 45 minutes earlier with a tech via instant messaging basically changing all those options you mentioned but it still doesnt give me BIS. Calling still works, like you. Texting works. BIS does not. Quite frustrating.
Do let me know what you figure out. Also because I dont have BIS gmail wont sync and so none of the people who are texting me have names..Moto Rokr E1 > Moto SLVR > Pantech Duo > HTC G1 > Blackberry Bold 9700 > Bold 9900 > HTC G2 & BB 9000 > Z10 > Q10

text: I think Trion has started to do something which I imagine they will run with for quite some time: Gradually phasing in new kinds of content, so that eventually (by Storm Legion or so) you'll be able to play through the game for months without ever doing the "traditional" quests/dungeons/raids content. Or you can do that if it's what you like. And over time, I think that's the goal; develop new models that can coexist.

Dec 5, 2012It would be really hard for me to recommend Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why'd you steal our garbage?!! for anyone who wasn't a fan of the show, even at its discounted price of $30. As a game it's solid, neither particularly good or bad. Still, if you like Adventure Time and want to experience more of it, this is a pretty good way to do that.
Nov 22, 2012With 50+ characters from seasons 1-3 of the show in appearance, it feels like more than a love letter to fans. It's closer to an expertly blended Megazord of everything that makes the show great. If you are a huge fan of Adventure Time, and/or are a less experienced videogame player, feel free to tack two points on to the score.
Jan 2, 2013Adventure Time is, first and foremost, for fans. Love the show and a good platformer? This game's for you. Expecting more, however, will only disappoint.
Dec 5, 2012Adventure Time's main fault is its length. It's a short game, which feels a bit like a downloadable title for console in size. It does have a New Game Plus mode with harder enemies, but starting the game with all the existing upgrades did not seem to be that much more challenging, even with an increased difficulty level.
Nov 28, 2012Fun and endearing, and it advances a game long lost to thoughtless rereleases and troubled mechanics. But it doesn't quite know how to solve all of Zelda II's problems, and where it succeeds, it also struggles.
Nov 20, 2012It's a flawed journey, mostly due to the hard-to-use inventory system, but it's definitely an adventure worth taking for anyone interested in an absolutely math journey through Ooo.
Dec 10, 2012It's a beloved series, so it's only fitting that WayForward deliver a quality title that is worthy of the Adventure Time name.
Nov 29, 2012Ooo is lovingly rendered here, and the character art and animation is really sharp. Unfortunately, visuals aren't everything, and the actual act of playing Hey Ice King! is something that cannot be ignored.
Nov 22, 2012WayForward has struck gold once again, as the studio continues to prove its skill at crafting superb game designs for Nintendo platforms.
Nov 20, 2012Hey Ice King is a potent distillation of everything that makes the cartoon such an uncommon, endearing powerhouse, and out of all the things I assumed this game would be, that was never, ever one of them.
Nov 28, 2012Proven gameplay mechanics and the wacky sense of humor that is Adventure Time make the game a blast to play from start to finish. Just don't expect to be playing it all that long.
Dec 18, 2012It's disappointing that while Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why'd you steal our garbage?! does its license justice, the mechanical side of things doesn't translate as well. The game refuses to make a name for itself, instead relying on nostalgia to cover its mistakes.
Dec 14, 2012Its genuinely funny moments are powered by insightful perspective on gaming's many cliches, yet it does very little with that knowledge, settling for shallow, repetitive gameplay.
Feb 4, 2013The overall experience of Adventure Time is just fine if not hampered by its reliance on old design. It's inoffensive and is a fun one-off novelty at best.
Feb 25, 2013Hey, Ice King! does what a good licensed game is supposed to do but few actually accomplish nowadays: It's well-crafted game that shows care and polish, but it also serves as a good gateway to the "Adventure Time" cast, world and style of humor, with fan service besides.

My cousin Teresa Neptune, the photographer, and I are still working on our collaborative project–Roadtrips to the Moon. Wednesday night found us "camping" in her charming shipshape van at the edge of the lava flow at Valley of Fires. The stars came out, so did gnats, we walked and ate dinner in the chairs and table that swiveled so cleverly out of the walls. And talked about where we were–a 5000 year old lava flow of pahoehoe that no doubt local inhabitants saw when it began to burn. The black vent in the earth that birthed it. Trinity Site, so close as the crow flies. Hiroshima, not that far away.
We also spent dusk in Carrizozo, which turned out to have a charming and eccentric arts street, resplendent with a parade of painted burros (reminiscent of Santa Fe's trail of painted ponies) and even more appealing–wild funky sculptures made of recycled metal parts–a mouse, a big bug.
The next day we had coffee at the local cafe, trying to wait out the rain. Teresa asked if I would know where I was if I suddenly dropped out of the sky, and I wouldn't…might it be Berkeley, or Las Cruces, or…Then on to the petroglyphs at 3 Rivers, where a fighter jet split the sky, lightning forked, and my intrepid photographer scrambled over rocks, capturing images intensifying or vanishing in the changing light and intermittent rain. Poetry being a less athletic art, I sat at a picnic table, watching the great mountain behind us and the workings of my mind.
I was haunted by the feeling that I was leaving something out of the poems…I added in Robert Oppenheimer in a hat, sotol, a planet, sleep, and that fabulous Polynesian word for slow moving lava. I'll have to re-read to see what I have.

Will the S3 in the US Have the Same CPU?
Given that Samsung has said that the Exynos 4 Quad in the S3 is pin-to-pin compatible with the same hardware that powers the Exynos 4 Dual found in devices like the S2. Does this mean that we will get the same chip in America?
Frankly I'm not sure why some phones like the HTC One X had to switch from a Tegra 3 to an S4 in the US. In everything I've read nobody seems to know the reason for this??? - 05-03-2012, 10:02 PM #2
Re: Will the S3 in the US Have the Same CPU?
No. Because it doesn't have LTE. You'll see HSPA+ versions with Exonys, and S4 on LTE networks.
Re: Will the S3 in the US Have the Same CPU?
They were not able to implement a 4G LTE radio on board. The radio would have to be a separate chip and probably drain battery life and thicken the phones design. Rather than spend allt he RnD time to design a brand new phone that is thicker and will have to be produced separately than their current design, it is economically better to just use the S4 which is a single SoC with the 4G LTE radio built in.

Re: Will the S3 in the US Have the Same CPU?
Thanks for the explanation but I'm further miffed by the fact that everyone is reporting that there is not much difference between the Tegra 3 and the S4. Naturally one would think then why go with a quad core if it makes no difference?
Also shouldn't the Snapdragon quad cores be out in time for the next Nexus phone? - 05-03-2012, 10:23 PM #6
Re: Will the S3 in the US Have the Same CPU?
Handset makers make the decisions they do for a reason that, to the outsider, seem weird. Why does the Galaxy Nexus have the Ti Omap which is not exactly the fastest thing in the world, losing to the Galaxy S2 with Exynos 4410 despite the S2 being the older phone?? Because Ti was chosen by Google to be the first development partner when ICS came out. A lot of people were hoping for an Exynos 4412 already in the Galaxy Nexus, but the decision was made way early in the development cycle based on what Google chose as early development partner.
The Tegra 3 is a quadcore based on the older A9 core, the S4 is based on the much newer and better A15 instruction set, it's manufactured with the 28 nm process (smaller is better) compared to the 45 nm in the 4410 (Galaxy S2) and the 32nm used in the 4412 and the Tegra 3. What's holding the S4 back is it's GPU, the Adreno 225. It's fast, but not Adreno 325 fast. That will find it's way into the S4 Pro later this year, but unfortunately not in time to make it into the US carrier version of the GS3 (not sure on that, but from what I read, it's unlikely). I am amazed how fast the GS3's GPU is seeing how it is based on the Mali 400 that was in the GS2!
Anyways, just because you have a quad core doesn't mean it's faster than a more modern dual core, and such is the case between the Tegra 3 and the S4. The Exynos 4410 was a beast when it came out and wiped the floor with the competition, doubling it up obviously results in tremendous Tegra 3 killing speed. I am not sure how computer savy you are, but it's a good analogy. A older Intel quad core processor has a hard time keeping up with a mid to upper range dual core of the current generation. Old 60s muscle cars had huge engines, but a smaller engine today will make more power and use less fuel.
Lets see how the US version of the GS3 will fare, I am pretty optimistic based on what I saw in the AT&T version of the One X. - 05-03-2012, 10:32 PM #8
Re: Will the S3 in the US Have the Same CPU?
The Korea Times was the source saying that both new chips, the 4412 and 5250 now had LTE, according to some executive, but supposedly, they were only LTE bands for the rest of the world. After that, we never got any more info.
If we did get the 5250 here I'd be thrilled, however, being a realist and looking back in history, and also by looking at that Verizon browser leak, chances are, it's going to be the S4 - 05-03-2012, 11:01 PM Thread Author #11

Re: Will the S3 in the US Have the Same CPU?
As more developers take advantage of quad-core processors and upgrade their apps to be multi-threaded could this be the thing that will make dual-core CPUs show their weakness?
No. Most apps we use every day get no benefit from using multiple cores. It is harder to code for multiple cores as well. It is possible that future games might do better with a quad core, but the dual S4 is as good as any quad core you can get today. Where the exnyos shines is the gpu, and that will certainly make a difference on games in the future.
Didn't the original story from the Korea Times say dual core, but the guy never said which? Maybe someone just assumed it was S4.
I really like the new phone. Think the design is good, new software features are epic.
Really hope we don't get a gimped version here in NA. - 05-04-2012, 10:39 AM #18

I have come to the conclusion that whether working mother or not, life has a frenetic pace. No matter whether I decide it or not, there is something about this time of my life that demands energy and resilience. Time for some peace and quiet?! Yes please...

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are medicines that work by reducing the amount of stomach acid made by glands in the lining of your stomach.
Proton pump inhibitors are used to:
There are many different names and brands of PPIs. Most work as well as another. Side effects may be different for different ones.
PPIs are taken by mouth and are marketed as tablets or capsules. The most common way of taking them is 30 minutes before your first meal of the day.
Some brands of PPI's may be bought at the store without a prescription. If you find yourself taking these most days for acid reflux symptoms, make sure you see your health care provider about your symptoms. Some people who have acid reflux may need to take PPIs every day to control their symptoms.

Succeeding in Computer ScienceBelow you'll find advice and guidelines from the CS staff for students in the program. Class SchedulesAlthough course prerequisites are listed in the course catalog, it is important to get an academic advisor to help plan your coursework each semester. Often the START Center provides academic advising; however, you should get a member of the computer science faculty to advise on courses within the computer science major. If you don't have an advisor contact the program chairperson Greg Gagne. Getting Help and Using Your InstructorYou are encouraged to get help with assignments before they are due. Instructors have posted office hours that are listed on their doors and on their personal web pages. You can call the Arts and Sciences office at 832-2300 to obtain your instructor's office hours. If you find the posted office hours to be inconvenient for your schedule, you can also arrange a special appointment in advance by calling or emailing the instructor. For more contact information call the Arts and Sciences office. Some classes have teaching assistants available, in which case you may want to make an appointment with that person for help. In addition, the START Center provides tutoring. Preparing for ClassesRead the material to be covered in advance - it will make a lot more sense in class if you have previewed the material to be covered. There is another reason - repetition reinforces learning. A good strategy is to preview the text - skimming for terminology and conceptual structure, attend the lectures and take notes, and then return to the text and read for detail. Don't make the mistake of putting off reading the assigned material until just before the test. Attendance is strongly advised, even if you read the text - the author may not emphasis the same points that the instructor will emphasis in class. Usually additional information is also provided in the classroom and good note taking will be essential. Participate in class and ask questions. You may prepare a list of questions in advance based upon your preview or reading of the text. Besides - asking questions exercises your grasp of the material, and reinforces your learning. Working With OthersDon't feel as if you necessarily must tackle this class on your own. Rather, work with your fellow classmates and all learn the material together. Some things you can do include:
In addition, some programming assignments (especially in upper division courses) are assigned to a group of students rather than individually. This is typically how software is constructed in the "real world." Being able to build a program that is a collection of work contributed by several different people is an important skill you can take to the marketplace upon graduation. Doing Well on TestsThere are two kinds of tests: in-class and take-home exams. The type of exam given is at the discretion of the instructor. Are take-home tests easier? No, take-home tests often ask more detailed questions or questions which require more thought. You may expect that the amount of time you set aside to review for an in-class test is about the same amount of time you will spend on a take-home test covering the same material. Tips for Taking Exams
In-class exams: Please write legibly. Granted you are probably under time pressure, but indecipherable handwriting may hurt your grade! Think before you write - compose your answer in your mind before you put pen or pencil to paper. Take-home exams: Since you have more time to construct your answers, the expectations are higher. Don't forget good grammar, sentence structure, and logical exposition. As college students you are expected to be developing good writing skills - use them. You are also encouraged (and perhaps in some cases required) to type your answers. Program source code may also be required in some cases. Writing Well-Constructed ProgramsIn course programming assignments and in real life, readable, well-formatted code is essential. If your instructor requires that you follow a set of coding standards be aware of what they are and follow them. In brief you should at least adhere to the following guidelines:
Follow an "engineering" approach to solving problems:
CAUTION: Programming can be mentally stimulating. You may experience being in the "zone" or loosing track of time while designing and coding programs. |

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – With the season winding down and starting pitchers beginning to reach their thresholds for innings pitched, the Seattle Mariners decided to shift to a six-man pitching rotation in hopes of cutting back the workload of some pitchers.
Talented prospect James Paxton was one of five players officially called up from Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday as the rosters were expanded. Paxton will be the sixth pitcher added to the rotation. He will make his major league debut Saturday at Safeco Field against the Tampa Bay Rays.
"It allows us to have some options and flexibility, which is a good thing this time of year," manager Eric Wedge said.
It's been an eventful three days for Paxton, who joined the team in Kansas City on Monday.
Paxton pitched two innings of relief Sunday for Tacoma, then was pulled by pitching coach Terry Clark.
"I was little bit surprised," Paxton said.
Clark then told him to talk to Rainiers manager John Stearns.
"He said Stearns had something to tell me," Paxton said. "(Stearns) told me in the dugout and I was able to give everyone hugs."
But it got even better for the British Columbia native.
"It turned out that my parents were actually at the game," he said. "They drove down to watch me pitch that day. I was able to call my dad down and I told him in the locker room. After the game, we were all able to go out and eat and celebrate. It was very cool to have them there and share that experience with them."
Paxton posted an 8-11 record with 4.45 ERA in 28 appearances (26 starts) with the Rainiers. He struck out 131 batters, averaging 8.9 strikeouts per nine innings.
"It's been an up and down season for me," he said. "At the beginning of the year I struggled a little bit, learning the league. I got to know the batters better and got more confidence and rattled off some good outings. Then I had a couple rough ones, and then I feel like I finished pretty strong in that last little bit. I'm coming in feeling pretty good about my stuff and where I'm at."
The good outings included a shutout in Tucson on July 8. In his last start with Tacoma, he pitched eight innings, giving up one unearned run on five hits and striking out seven.
Paxton is far from a finished product. His command with his fastball and his trust in his secondary pitches must continue to improve for him to figure into the starting-rotation plans for 2014.
Wedge said he hopes the two or three starts Paxton makes for the Mariners will speed his development.
"It's great to get those 'firsts' out of the way," Wedge said. "He has worked hard to get here and deserves to be here."
Besides Paxton, pitchers Erasmo Ramirez, Hector Noesi and Chance Ruffin and infielder Carlos Triunfel were recalled from Tacoma.
Pitcher Danny Hultzen made his first game appearance since June 27 on Sunday at Cheney Stadium, throwing two scoreless innings with three strikeouts for the Rainiers. Hultzen, who is recovering from a second strain of his rotator cuff, will continue to keep building arm strength as he prepares to pitch in the Arizona Fall League, which begins in October.
He has a busy schedule the next week. He will throw a bullpen session Wednesday in Everett. He will throw a simulated game Saturday at Safeco Field or in Everett – depending on how the Aqua Sox do in the playoffs. That will be followed by another bullpen session, then four or five days off before reporting back to Arizona to continue his throwing regimen and participate in the fall league.
After the second problem arose with his rotator cuff, the Mariners decided to re-evaluate Hultzen's mechanics and throwing regimen to see if there was an issue. They found he was throwing across his body with his plant foot not opening enough toward home plate. They've corrected the issue and the results have been positive.
"This really put his arm slot in its strongest position and made it more repeatable for him to do that," pitching coach Carl Willis said. "That takes strain off the shoulder. ... The consistency of his arm slot is important."
Taijuan Walker (1-0, 0.00 ERA) will make his second big league start for the Mariners on Wednesday against Royals right-hander Ervin Santana (8-8, 3.19). First pitch is set for 5:10 p.m.

Director Aparna Sen had many reasons to smile on Wednesday night, after all, it was the special screening of her much-awaited film.
But what really brought her happiness was when her dear friend and colleague Shabana Azmi entered, in her wheelchair. The actress, who is temporarily wheelchair bound after a recent fall, made it to the show just for Aparna, and the director couldn't thank her enough. Bear hugs and childlike laughter followed... it was endearing to see the two ladies together!

It's the year 2044, and the real world has become an ugly place. We're out of oil. We've wrecked the climate. Famine, poverty, and disease are widespread. Like most of humanity, Wade Watts escapes this depressing reality by spending his waking hours jacked into the OASIS, a sprawling virtual utopia where you can be anything you want to be, where you can live and play and fall in love on any of ten thousand planets. And, like most of humanity, Wade is obsessed by the ultimate lottery ticket that lies concealed within this alternate reality: OASIS founder James Halliday, who died with no heir, has promised that control of the OASIS - and his massive fortune - will go to the person who can solve the riddles he has left scattered throughout his creation.
For years, millions have struggled fruitlessly to attain this prize, knowing only that the riddles are based in the culture of the late 20th century. And then Wade stumbles onto the key to the first puzzle. Suddenly he finds himself pitted against thousands of competitors in a desperate race to claim the ultimate prize, a chase that soon takes on terrifying real-world dimensions - and that will leave both Wade and his world profoundly changed.
Narrator Wil Wheaton is an American actor and writer best known for his role as Wesley Crusher in the TV series Star Trek: The Next Generation, and for playing Gordie Lachance in the film Stand By Me. More recently, he has appeared in several episodes of the TV series The Big Bang Theory as himself.

"80's Teenager!"
If you were born around 1960-1975 you will love the nostalgia in this book. A light SciFi romp, easy listening, but with lots to recomend it. Cline researched the history of video games and infact PS's like a true Geek! but managed to carry the storyline along without loosing my interest. Even a reminder of the great Rush LP 2012. Lighten up for a while, give it a go, you'll be glad you did :)
"Smegging brilliant"
I really like this book and Wil Wheaton is brilliant at reading this, also did anyone else keep thinking of anorak looking like Steve Jobs.
Well worth your money 10/10
"A Sci-Fi Classic"
I picked this up with no expectations at all and was blown away. It is one of those books that you just can't tear yourself away from and you are a little sad when its over. Most of the reviews state that this will appeal to nerds, computer gamers and children of the eighties (and I admit that I'm all three) but I think you'd have to have a pretty hard heart not to love this book no matter who you were.
Wil Wheaton was a great choice for narrator and he does a fantastic job.
"A once in a generation book"
By far the best audiobook I have listen to
None, I am desperately trying to find something to replace Wade and co's adventure in the Oasis, but so far to no avail.
Where to start? So many great scenes. The meeting at IOI. each of the key and gate scenes, in particular Key & Gate 1.
I don't want to give anything away, the whole book is a great scene after a great scene
If you thought the matrix was a big place to visit, wait until you see the Oasis.
This is by far, not only the best audiobook I have ever listened to, but one of the best pieces of fiction ever created. A match for the classics such as The lord of the rings to modern day hits such as Game of Thrones.
The Oasis is what the matrix dreamed of becoming when it grew up.
I have recommended this book to virtually everyone I know, whether they like science fiction, video games,the 80's pop culture or anything.
A truly great book with outstanding acting and narration by Will Wheton.
"Game on!!"
Very engaging story line with good character development. If you enjoy games, you will enjoy this book regardless of age. Ready player one will take you on a journey back to your childhood games, well if you are my age anyway! But it does more than a stroll down memory lane it also toy with the future. Cool dichotomy that is played out.
Wil Wheaton is great! I have seek out other books he did regardless of author, yip he is that good!
"Great story, Excellent narration"
A really enjoyable listen, Wil Wheaton's delivery is perfect. I was a child of the 80's, though not a 'gamer' - so the songs and films brought back memories but the really geeky stuff was over my head, but still very enjoyable.
"An easy way to know if you will like this...."
Answer the questions below to find out how many stars you are likely to give this book....
1) Are you aged between 35 and 50,
2) Are you male?
3) Have you ever played Dungeon and Dragons?
4) Would you consider yourself a Nerd or Geek?
5) Do you know anything about Canadian rock bands of the 1970/80s?
6) Do you like/Are you obsessed with 80's culture?
7) Are you interested in computer game culture or retro gaming?
8) Do you enjoy cyberpunk or science fiction?
9) Did you enjoy any of the following The Matrix, Star Wars, Star Trek?
10) Do you know what a MMORPGs is and do you play them?
For every yes you answer assume you will give this book half a star. So 10 yes answers will mean you will likely give this book a 5 star rating!
"Utterly brilliant geek sci-fi story!"
Just buy it!
The world building for one was excellent. Sci-fi as a genre often suffers from really poor backdrops and as a result a good story becomes unconvincing and a disappointment. In this case the world is built on references to the generation and passions of my youth and extends it forward in to a believable future. It was easy to get swept up in the concept and characters to such an extent that the hours were flying by. Loved it.
I have not listened to any of his other performances...yet. I have however got another book narrated by Wil Wheaton awaiting my attention and if his duties for "Ready Player One" are anything to go by I'm sure I will not be disappointed.
No tag line required - the title says it all.
I'll definitely listen again, it's really well read by Wil Wheaton, very immersive, as you escape into a world which is really well thought out and excellently written, and doesn't feel too far off into our future.
You can really relate to Wade the main character as he hungrily and excitedly pursues the prize against all odds
Excellently read, really enthusiastic, his style really adds to the atmosphere.
Couldn't stop listening to find out what comes next, really exciting captivating and immersive!
"An unexpected gem."
Engaging, Surprising, Involving.
I bought this book as a 'punt' the synopsis sounded a bit cheesy but I thought I'd give it a go. It turned out to be very engaging, drawing you into the situation of the main character making you want to will him on to the next stage and making you feel caught in his situation.
Obviously, as this is a first person account, Parcival is the character it's all about. The Narrator doesn't attempt to set aside different voices or accents for different parts.
15 hrs isn't a book I would be likely to listen to in one session but I did find myself driving home the long way and sitting in my driveway when I got home waiting for a suitable place to stop listening when I had the book playing on the car stereo.
Without a doubt, this has been the biggest, pleasant, surprise I've had when taking a risk buying an audio book in the two years I've been an Audible member. If this review makes you purchase it I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. If you were in your teens or twenties in 1980 you will remember many of the multitude of references to 80s music and early video games with fondness.
"Where's the sequel?!"
This was an incredible book, with both the writing and performance being top-class. I have never read a book much like this, yet I was deeply thrown into the story and really felt for the characters and the world around them.
I would recommend this book to those of you have ever had any interest in computing, retro gaming and retro film. It really is a 80s pop-culture book with an incredible setting and back story.
To be honest, I was upset when the book ended. The only question that came to my mind was: Where is the sequel?!
Hopefully one might be made soon... I know Ernest Cline hasn't ruled it out yet!
"A great fun read and nostalic romp"
Story was pretty solid although some plot points were a bit hard to believe but the fun allowed you to suspend belief just this once. Wil Wheaton did a great job with the narration.
It was different to what I had encountered before and really pleasant read. I really enjoyed the nostalgia, it gave me a warm fuzzy feeling inside.
Good job Wil.
If I had the time I would have gotten through this in one or two sittings but I like to pace myself to enjoy the story more.
"Absolute BEST contemporary sci-fi novel there is!"
This instantly became my favorite contemporary sci-fi novel. I can't say enough good things about it. The story is imaginative yet nostalgic, and the imagery and performance are superb. I typically have a hard time getting "into" stories that largely take place in cyber space... however this story is riveting, and the characters' real world stakes were high enough to keep my headphones glued to my ears. I have recommended this to MANY friends.
"A really great read, clever and unique."
Hmm, clever, unique and daring. I grew up in the eighties and connected with almost every part of Ernie Cline's wonderful book. When I found a part that I wasn't familiar with I would pause the book and look it up on Google. I ended up listening to Rush 2112 and rented War Games, which I had watched when it first came out but really enjoyed watching again.
I liked the references to the eighties and video games and the fact that by creating a virtual world he made almost anything possible. Even giant Japanese robots LOL
"Slowish start but it hooked me."
I was recommended this story by a friend of mine. He refused to tell me anything about it but just said "read it". At the start I thought the story was OK, but nothing to rave about. Then I slowly got more and more hooked. This ended up being a great story and a really interesting concept. The narration by Wil Wheaton was top notch. He didn't really try to put on any different voices for the different characters, which is how I like it.
"Wow, what a great find!"
Yes... definitely brought out the geek in me :)
Wade was a well crafted character that will resonate with so many readers.
Wheaton was perfect for the role. It was obvious that he really identified with the protagonist, which made the reading that much more enjoyable. A great performance delivered with real empathy.
Even before I finished, I was back on line looking for sequels. Best book I have found in months.
Whether you're a closet geek yourself, or just someone that has fondness for eighties pop culture and the resulting video game revolution, you are sure to find this book a fun, enjoyable read.
"This is now my favourite book of all time!"
Absolutely, it's a story I've been able to relate to more than any other book I've ever read (and there's been quite a lot of them). Having just listened to all 3 of Peter Clines' major novels (Ex-Heroes, Ex-Patriots and 14), I was a little hesitant to start another book thinking that I'd only be disappointed.. thankfully I couldn't have been more wrong - I powered through Ready Player One faster than I'd ever listened to any other book, it was an incredibly compelling read and I just couldn't put it down. The characters, the setting, the virtual themes, all the puzzles and gaming is just so well written and paced.
I'll be giving it another listen after Christmas most definitely, and having found that Ernest Cline is drafting the outline for a sequel, that has me in extremely high hopes that there's going to be yet another mind blowing book from the genius that is Cline!
I can probably most directly identify with H, as I myself am an FPS centric (former pro) gamer, so H's passion for that genre and just action in general and the way H talks to Z is just all stuff I can relate to. That's not to say that Wade/Perzival, Art3mis or Shoto are any less than amazing characters though (and of course Daito). Every character in the book is so wonderfully crafted that it's difficult to pick a direct favourite.
This is the first Wil Wheaton performance i've heard (aside from having TNG on with my eyes closed at night and hearing him on Big Bang Theory in a different room of my house). He did a great job and I think that being that he can most likely relate heavily to the characters of the book, he really connected with them and gave a great performance. He puts some strange emphasis on certain words but that's probably more of a difference in our accents than anything else, as I'm Australian! Never the less, brilliant effort by Wheaton and it was a pleasure to have him narrate such a great story.
Numerous moments in the book moved me, but if i'm picking just one specific moment.. it would have to be when Z and H meet in person for the first time. That was a really great scene and was very touching. It put real emphasis on the fact that if you share a connection with a person online, you're sharing a CONNECTION with a PERSON.. not just some random game character with no personality. They are the person you have had all the good times with, no matter how they turn out to look or be when/if you meet in person.
Buy it! Right now! The movie will be the greatest movie ever! Fanboy mode *ACTIVE*
Can't wait for a sequel too!
"great adventure for geeks"
Engaging storyline with great characters. Pulls in all the touch points for those of us who grew up through the 80s but modern enough for those who missed it as well.
"Pure, unadulterated, dream indulgence!"
Ready Player One is my ALL TIME favourite read. After reading this I ordered 4 copies of the hard cover book to give to my friends and I have NEVER done that before. Each friend in turn sent me txt's "ZOMG This book is amazing!"
This books takes you to all of those things that were cool when we were growing up and gives you the fantasy you dreamed about as a kid.
I'm just going to park my hover-De Lorean right next to this X-Wing!
They were all fantastic, I can't choose one.
Definitely to some introspection early in the third act and the finale was fantastic
If you read science-fiction, if you watch science fiction, if you grew up in the 80's and played Pacman at the local arcade, YOU NEED TO READ THIS BOOK!
"Just buy download and have a fantastic time"
Yes yes yes, it's a great sifi story with ideas about a dark future and of course some young heros
