Review: Photo Collage Fx turns your photos into interesting collages
Photo Collage Fx lets you create collages from your photos, but lacks some essential features that could be a deal breaker for many. Not only is this app slow to react to your touches and taps, but it also suffers from some misleading ads. It has a few neat editing options, it's true; but they are just not enough to redeem it.
Every time you open Photo Collage Fx you have to put up with an "antivirus" scan that claims to find problems on your phone or tablet. It's just an advertisement, though, and you'll … Read more

More psi doesn't mean more power necessarily.
Having a better flowing motor also magnifies the power. The FRPP Zetec at 20psi would be putting down 400HP.
Just look at the SVT Zetec guys on the Focus forums. They are hitting 300-350WHP.

doesnt matter, PSI is irrelevant to how much power a car will make. different compressors move different amounts of air at different pressures.
you can have a T3 turbo that moves 25lbs of air/minute at 10psi and you can have a T4 turbo that moves say 30+ lbs of air/minute at 10PSI. the T4 will produce more power at the same boost pressure.
note: those numbers are just guesses, they may or may not be accurate.

the top mount jrsc they discontinued, right???? I've gone to their site and all they are advertising is the rotrex deal, here's a pic...
2006 Fusion NPG V6 S/C Eaton MP90, 38# injectors, trans and aftercooler (10.5# boost)
Your name is no longer on the prison cell, the cell door is open, so don't use it as a pantry for spices to stir a hot mess up in your life.
A couple of basic things here.
Zetec engines rev reasonably high. High revving engines that are RELIABLE (i.e hondas) have a short stroke. Increasing bore slightly is okay, but only a hair. A blown engine will maintain a higher temperature than a naturally aspirated engine. With that in mind, you don't want cylinderwalls to expand beyond tolerances and cause some real problems. Not to mention that there will be less mass between the chambers to absorb harmonics.
Centrifugal blowers are the worst forms of FI to use on any automotive engine. Period. Centrifugal blowers take time to build boost, and as such, do not generate any substantial (if any) low end gains (i.e torque), modest mid-end gains, and a reasonable top end for about 10% of your power-band.
A centrifugal blower is only 'sort of acceptable' on OHV engines such as 302 or 350. Those have two-valve heads and cannot breath for - which is whey they create a lot of torque and require massive work to get them to breath on-par with an otherwise stock 4 valve OHC head. The engine will naturally create good low-end torque, and breath half-assidly (new word!) at mid range - the centrifugal blower will add some range and give it top-end that it didn't have before, so it would end-up feeling more like the engine got opened up to breath well enough to claim much of its volumetric efficiency.
We don't have poor breathing cam-in-block OHV engines, so we should strongly consider this when wishing to modify them.
A roots-type blower, on the other hand, will give you much desired low-end torque the instant that you hit the gas pedal. Positive displacement air pumps are nice like that. They aren't as thermo efficient as a centrifugal or turbo charger, because the compress the air in your entire in-take system, starting from the intake valves back to the helix of the blower. For lower boost levels (Typically 6-9psi) roots-types are just fine for most engines. If you really want more boost and power, then a properly matched turbo is going to out-shine a blower in most instances.
4-valve heads, as a rule, don't benefit greatly from 'head work'. The factory design is already greatly superior to most 2-valves OHV engine, even after major surgery. Forced induction thrives off of cams with little or no over-lap. Thus, a typical 'economy cam' that is found in most cars is actually going to be the /best/ cam for creating most idea rates with VE and thermal efficiency.

Well, for the sake of due and proper of understanding, I had to add this. The temperature IS the direct catalyst for the difference in numbers. When (i.e, RPM range) the air pressure raises or falls is relevant to over-all performance, but not-so-much the numbers that people are interested in.
Compressor maps are great tools for understanding and interpreting threshold, power-band, and thermo-deficiencies in the system. A dyno will determine the HP.
I'm not trying to be a dick at all, don't read me wrong. I just would like to clarify and substantiate things from the correct engineering perspective.. that's all.

This summer they were known as "The Greatest Show on Turf.''
Led by quarterback Treon Harris, Booker T. Washington's 7-on-7 flag football team went 58-2, won a $10,000 prize for capturing the Battle of the Beach crown in New Smyrna Beach, then claimed the national title by cruising to victory in a tournament sponsored by the NFL in Indianapolis.
This high-scoring squad of teenagers from Overtown is now on the doorstep of winning another title — this one with pads on. The Tornadoes (12-1) will play in the Class 4A state championship game against Jacksonville Bolles (12-1) Saturday night at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando.
And the same collection of mighty mite receivers who helped lead Booker T. to glory this summer are once again a big reason why the Tornadoes have earned a championship rematch.
"I call them the little guys,'' said Tornadoes offensive coordinator Tim Harris Jr., whose high-powered spread option attack has averaged 50.8 points and rung up 71 and 68 points two times each this season.
"Our philosophy is just create mismatches with the defense. A lot of defenses are scared of Treon running the ball so much they don't take a lot of guys out of the box because they want to keep him bottled up. So that makes it easier for him to throw a little spot pass and the guys we've got out there are great.''
The receivers don't have a clear-cut leader in terms of statistics — Harris and his father and coach Tim "Ice'' Harris like it that way because it's hard to key on anyone. But they do have a vocal leader: senior Nicholas Norris (5-9, 150), who despite posting times of 4.39 and 4.42 seconds in the 40-yard dash in camps this summer is still looking for his first scholarship offer.
"He's usually the guy we trust in tough situations," said Harris Jr. of Norris, who has 31 catches for 644 yards and nine touchdowns this season.
The other receivers? Juniors Lamar Parker (5-9, 165), Deltron Hopkins (5-7, 145), Terrawn McPhee (5-6, 130) and senior Karim Bryant (5-11, 175). Or, as their quarterback refers to them: Marty, D-Hop, Waffle and Bow Tie. Norris' nickname is Cheebo.
"They're all great receivers," said Harris, who has thrown for 2,461 yards, 33 touchdowns and 6 interceptions and has run for 747 yards and 13 scores this season.
Parker, the only receiver with scholarship offers (Texas A&M, West Virginia, Marshall), has 37 catches for 537 yards and five touchdowns. Harris, who played with many of those same receivers at Overtown Optimist's national championship team in 2010, said playing on the 7-on-7 circuit this summer is a big reason why the Tornadoes offense has improved.
Harris Jr., Treon's older brother, said what the Tornadoes learned this summer is probably why they're ready now to win a championship — and why they weren't a year ago.
"So many of those guys were so young last season coming straight from Pop Warner, we didn't have the confidence to put the game in their hands this time of season,'' Harris Jr. said. "This year we've been able to have more of a balanced attack. That's helped us become more dangerous.''
Norris and Harris said they hope that explosiveness will lead to a title on Saturday. Last season, the Tornadoes blew a 13-point lead in the fourth quarter and lost to Bolles. The offense produced just 25 points.

It is one of the oldest cities in the world, rich with culture and monuments to ancient civilizations. But, as our Bill Carey tells us, it's the more recent accomplishments of two upstate New York women that is drawing many American pilgrims to Rome this weekend.
ROME -- Every sunrise reveals why Rome is called an eternal city. It is a modern metropolis that is shoehorned into the ruins of an ancient empire. It is a place rich in history that laid the foundation for much of the Western World. But, this week, for a large group of pilgrims, the sites that have drawn millions of visitors over the years have paled in comparison to an event that will be taking place on Sunday.
The portraits of seven new saints now adorn Saint Peter's Basilica. Many of the Americans walking these streets are focused on two in particular. Sister Marianne Cope was the Syracuse nun who helped care for those suffering from leprosy on the forgotten peninsula of Kalaupapa.
Syracuse pilgrims have found themselves sharing time with groups from Hawaii, including many of the patients who still live in what was once a place of exile. The people of Hawaii consider Marianne their saint.
"She just became part of us. I think she spoke to all of us to come and see her become a saint," said Yvonne Pascua, Hawaiian pilgrim.
Another large contingent in Rome this weekend comes from places all over the country, where Native Americans call home. They have waited for years and decades for Kateri Tekakwitha, the young Indian girl from the Mohawk Valley to be named a saint. They have come for her canonization.
"Yes, yes. It's finally here. We've been praying for it a lot. So we're thankful," explained Cindy Giff, a Native American.
Dennis Coochyuma, another Native American, added, "Praying, praying every day that she will become a saint. Now it's happening, so a lot of people are here for that."
Catholic leaders who have accompanied various pilgrimage groups to the Vatican continue to say that this weekend could have profound impact on American catholics, and that it could bring new enthusiasm to their faith.
"This, being the year of faith, this is the way to help us all follow her example," said Bishop Larry Silva, Honolulu Roman Catholic Diocese.

I love this turquoise eyeshadow! Blends great and lasts all day. Like to put a little of deep truth in the outer corner of the eye with it.
This eyeshadow is very beautiful.
I own many teal and blue eyeshadows but this colour truly reminds me of a mermaid. It is a stunning mix of blue and green, and I love the texture and how wonderfully it blends.
I paired this with Urban Decay's Omen eyeshadow from the 15th Anniversary palette and I was amazed how lovely they looked together! On the upper lash line I lined my eyes with Mac's Superslick Eyeliner in Nocturnal. This was for the day time mind you, I just wanted to wear something colourful and pretty, when the weather is dull and grey outside.
Mac makeup artists commented how pretty my eyes looked when I went in to purchase Russian Red (the most gorgeous red ever - get it!) and I took that as a sure sign this eyeshadow is a winner in my books!
Honestly I love this colour and there are so many ways you can wear it: as an eyeliner, paired with Expensive Pink or Coppering for a twist.

A very pretty shimmery aqua blue color. Blends well but really needs to be packed on instead of swiped on. Looks good with a variety of different colors and a great way to wear color without being too bold or extreme.

Looks gorgeous blue on the lid once applied wet, but turns into a grey-blue color that's still beautiful, but not the color in the pan I fell in love with. I have NW20 skin. I will find a look to wear this beautiful shadow with, I don't really do 'smokey however.

Although I love this color, and it's super blendable & true to color, it just doesn't look good on me. I really wish it did, because I love it ): I wouldn't recommend it for blue or grey eyes. Washes your eyes out in my opinion.
EDIT: I recently paired this color with Jane's Rockstar (neutral, medium brown) and some black cream liner on the top and it looks gorgeous! Maybe I can rock this color after all. I'm super excited that it won't be wasting away in my palette any longer. Highly highly recommend!

Ive had steamy for probably a good 2 years and I still cant find a solid way to use it. The color is beautiful, and I dont know if its my eye color that steers me away or what. Even when I do wear this, I feel like I only use a light wash and it ends up getting blended into one of the blues I use more often. Pretty color, but probably not for me.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love steamy on top of a dark base like fluidline in blacktrack. The colour is beautiful and really brings out my eyes. I like to wear this on the lid with Jealousy awakes on the outer v and swimming in the crease. Vanilla to highlight.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
The MAC website describes this as "Bluish-green w/gold pearl (Frost)" and that is right on. It is one of those aqua/teal shades but definitely leans more toward the green side. The swatch on their website is also pretty accurate. It's definitely a warmer rather than cooler shade.
Because it's a frost, it doesn't show up nearly as dark on your eyelid as it appears in the pan. This may be a pro or con for you depending on what you're looking for.
It's a nice shade, but I rarely use it. I would not repurchase it because I probably won't finish it, and because I don't think it's too unique. You can find something the same (or close enough at least) easily in another brand.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I borrowed this from my best friend. Her good friend recently let her borrow about 15 MAC shadows, and I'm on a mission to try them all and review them one by one. This is only the third one I've used, and it is divine. The coloring is beautiful, and very pigmented. Would definitely purchase this.
MAC Steamy always reminds me of Grey's Anatomy, Patrick Dempsey (LOL). But that is only just the name. The color is on the other hand is VERY similar to UD's Shatter, but a tad more muted. Very interesting color, but for me not an everyday color. A bit difficult to work on my very yellow undertone skin+dark brown eyes.

The U.S. looks past the World Cup and gives Jurgen Klinsmann the chance to build an empire
Brooks Peck at Dirty Tackle12 hrs agoSix days after a nightmarish World Cup draw, the USSF responded in somewhat curious fashion by giving head coach Jurgen Klinsmann a four-year contract extension and adding the powerful title of technical director to his name.
Normally, international coaching contracts and increases of influence are entirely dependent on results in major tournaments. Klinsmann has done well to exhibit clear improvement in the team since taking over in 2011, getting results both in qualifying and high-profile friendlies as well as winning the Gold Cup last summer, but the World Cup was always going to be the biggest test of his philosophy and command. Then the draw happened — dumping the USA in a group with Germany, Ghana and Portugal and giving them more distance to travel than any other team in the tournament — and now expectations have been recalibrated.
Jose Mourinho says he has accomplished his mission of not doing a Rafa Benitez
Brooks Peck at Dirty Tackle13 hrs agoChelsea edged out last-place Steaua Bucharest to a 1-0 win in their final Champions League group stage, sealing their place at the top of the group. And as they prepare for the knockout stage of the tournament, manager Jose Mourinho is claiming they have accomplished their mission of not having the chance to defend the Europa League title they won under interim manager Rafa Benitez last season.
Back in July, Mourinho made his European intentions clear. "I don't want to win the Europa League," he said. "It would be a big disappointment for me. I don't want my players to feel the Europa League is our competition." Though Benitez didn't have much to do with Chelsea dropping down to the Europa League, Mourinho's comments were an attempt to classify his old foe as small time. And now, with Benitez heading back to the Europa League with heartbroken Napoli, Mourinho is at it again.
Future News: Robin van Persie demands transfer to 'the real Manchester United'
Brooks Peck at Dirty Tackle18 hrs agoConfirming rumors that he has made a formal transfer request, Manchester United striker Robin van Persie has announced that his intended destination is "the real Manchester United." Confused by the club's struggles this season, the 30-year-old Dutch international is under the impression that he is currently playing for a different team and would like to return to the side he helped to the Premier League title last season.
"Where's Sir Alex [Ferguson]? Who's the guy with the big hair? I want to go home," Van Persie told reporters at Manchester United's Carrington training ground. "Earlier this year I was lifting the Premier League trophy and now every time I look at the bench, the Everton manager is standing there looking constipated. And what is an Adnan Januzaj? I spoke to the little boy inside me, who is now my agent, and he is screaming for the real Manchester United. As well as some ice cream."
Napoli getting knocked out of the Champions League with four wins made Gonzalo Higuain cry
Brooks Peck at Dirty Tackle1 day agoThree teams finished atop Champions League group F with 12 points, but only two could advance. And despite beating Arsenal 2-0 in their final match, Napoli came up a goal short of being one of those two. This was understandably upsetting to the Italian side and left Gonzalo Higuain, who scored their first goal against Arsenal, in tears after the final whistle.
Napoli staff tried to console the Argentine, but getting knocked out of the tournament's group of death on the same number of points as the group winner is tough to swallow. It's only his first season with the club, but he's been embraced by the fans to a deafening degree (his pre-match introduction is enough to make anyone feel loved).
While Borussia Dortmund and Arsenal go on, Napoli will now have a chance to give manager Rafa Benitez back to back Europa League titles (he won it last season with Chelsea). So that's something to look forward to, right Gonzalo? Gonzalo?
Neymar scores first Champions League goals and first Barca hat trick against Celtic
Brooks Peck at Dirty Tackle1 day agoGoing into Barcelona's final Champions League group stage match, Neymar had never scored a goal in all of his time in the competition (which was entirely comprised of the five previous matches). On top of that, he had never scored a hat trick since joining Barcelona (at the start of this season). Clearly, he was well on his way to becoming a total bust for the Spanish champions and would almost certainly be selling lawn furniture on the side of a country road in denmark.
Realizing he needed to do something about these matters, Neymar decided that he might as well get them both out of the way on the same night against Celtic. And so that's what he did.
With Lionel Messi injured, the 21-year-old scored in the 44th, 48th and 58th minutes as Barcelona squashed Celtic 6-1 at the Camp Nou, making him the first player to ever score a hat trick in both the Copa Libertadores and the Champions League.
Neymar goes over 450 minutes without scoring in CL, then bags three in 15 minutes [not counting half time]
You really need to watch Man City's John Guidetti sing the Christmas hits
Brooks Peck at Dirty Tackle1 day agoMan City's 21-year-old Swedish international John Guidetti has yet to make his mark on the pitch for the club, but he is lighting up their official YouTube account with his Christmas crooning. Guidetti first showed off his musical holiday spirt with his rendition of Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas is You." This was fantastic — mostly because he couldn't decide if he wanted to sing it or lip sync.
Following the success of that video, Guidetti returned with his rendition of the Wham classic "Last Christmas." During this performance, Guidetti reveals that he listens to the song all year and uses it to get pumped up before matches.
If City made John Guidetti their holiday season halftime performer, it would be worth attending matches just for that.

Brooks Peck at Dirty Tackle1 day agoAfter getting a full night's sleep in the middle of their final Champions League group stage match, which was abandoned in the 32nd minute the day before, Galatasaray defeated Juventus to advance to the knockout stage of the Champions League. An 85th-minute goal from Wesley Sneijder proved to be the difference in the disjointed match played on a sloshy pitch.
Since the two sides picked up where they left off the day before, halftime came just 13 minutes after they resumed play. Galatasaray ended up making the most of the conditions though, and Sneijder celebrated his goal with Didier Drogba in a pile of muddy snow as a result.
Juventus only a needed a draw to advance, but now they return home with only domestic competitions and the Europa League to look forward to. Galatasaray, meanwhile, seem rather focused...
Start of the day on Wednesday:
End of the day on Wednesday:
Galatasaray-Juventus match abandoned due to snow, Felipe Melo enjoys the moment
Brooks Peck at Dirty Tackle2 days agoGalatasaray hosted Juventus in the final round of Champions League group-stage play with the winner advancing to the knockout phase (if no one wins, it will be Juventus). The match began in perfectly fine weather conditions, but midway through the first half hail and snow started to fall. Galatasaray's Brazilian midfielder Felipe Melo seemed to enjoy the unusual Istanbul weather, but 32 minutes in, the officials decided to stop play since the lines on the pitch were no longer visible.
After taking a look at the weather report and not seeing much hope for it letting up, the match was abandoned. The match will resume from the 32nd minute on Wednesday, as long as the weather permits.
As disappointing as the situation was, some Galatasaray fans were able to make the most of it.
Cluj player misses a tap-in, so his teammate scores from 50 yards out
Brooks Peck at Dirty Tackle2 days agoUsually a clip like this includes a missed sitter or a goal from long-range, but as a special holiday bonus, this one includes both. Romanian side CFR Cluj put together the wacky highlight off of a corner kick when defender Vasile Maftei missed a golden opportunity to score on an empty net from two-yards out. Sageata Navodari managed to clear it back towards the midway line, where Cluj's Damjan Dokovic, the man who originally took the corner kick, noticed the the goalkeeper was off his line and decided to take a speculative and off balance shot.
The ball took a big hop over the keeper and ended up in the net, giving Cluj a 1-0 lead. So Maftei was off the hook for his painful miss and Dokovic proved that if you want something done, you might as well do it yourself. Even if you're 50 yards out.
This was just the beginning of the goalkeeper's nightmare, though. Cluj went on to win 6-1.

Jose Mourinho gives press conference interpreter the shirt off his back
Brooks Peck at Dirty Tackle2 days agoJose Mourinho put the Romanian interpreter through his paces with several long winded answers at his press conference ahead of Chelsea's Champions League group-stage finale against Steaua Bucharest. Mourinho sympathized with the man's plight since he himself got his start in football as a translator for Sir Bobby Robson at Sporting Lisbon and then Porto.
So, while reporters asked him questions, Mourinho took off his sweatshirt and autographed it before giving it to the interpreter as a gift at the end of the session. His act of goodwill was then rewarded by being informed that he would have to do Chelsea TV duty, which Jose didn't seem too pleased about.

Orlando, Florida, 12-09-2012 - There was a time, not too many years back, when people in general had a pretty clear understanding of how telecommunications worked in their day-to-day lives.
Back then for instance, you can pick up the phone to make a call and know that it was being transmitted along the phone lines struck between polls located along the roads and highways.
Then we entered the high-speed information age, and things became quite a bit more complex. So now when you sit down at your computer to send an e-mail, once the key is pushed, for most of us, what happens after that is a mystery. The message arrives at its destination, but how it gets there is a blur.
All that is changing though as more people grow to understand the importance of telecommunications mapping and the role that it plays in their day-to-day lives.
People are beginning to understand that without telecommunications mapping, the e-mails they send and receive couldn't be transmitted as reliably as they are.
Just imagine, for instance, that you were starting a trucking company, and you intended to move a wide range of goods around the country. Sounds like a straight forward prospect?
Now imagine if you were starting that company, and there were no universal roadmaps available. Then to make matters worse, there was no way of knowing where truck stops that carry diesel fuel were located.
Of course, you could send your drivers on their way with their loads and some general instructions on how to find their way. but there was no way that you could offer your clients any semblance of reliability.
So with a system like that, the only way to you can remain competitive is if all your competitors were doing the same.
The fact is that you wouldn't survive, because somewhere along the way, your competitors would come up with a bright idea of having a service provider do the research, compile the data and produce a comprehensive mapping system that allowed their drivers to speed to their destinations by the most direct route that also provided the best support services.
So now for increasing numbers of businesses across the US, instead of trucked goods, it is information that they're sending from point A to point B, and instead of an asphalt highway, they're using the telecommunications superhighway. But there's a problem with that.
That problem is that there are no universal maps to provide them the information that they need to accommodate all their various telecommunications needs. So they are in a sense, for sure during the conceptual and planning of their business, a bit like the person starting a trucking company without any maps to use.
So telecommunications mapping services do just that. With literally hundreds of various telecommunications service providers and untold thousands of support installations like cell phone towers, they partner with businesses and service providers - both public and private - to come up with telecommunications roadmaps.
So as more people grow to understand what telecommunications mapping is many of them are realizing that they have a need for it. Real estate agents who broker commercial and industrial property transactions, for example, are now coming to realize that having this type of information on hand helps to facilitate sales.
Then there are city planners, financial institutions, local municipalities, manufacturing firms, schools, medical facilities, and the list just goes on and on. All of them rely on telecommunications planning to provide them with information superhighway roadmaps to use as they make plans not just for today, but also on into the future. GeoTel Communications, (geo-tel.com), LLC is the leading provider of telecommunications infrastructure data in a geographic information system (GIS) and other platforms.

Striking earlyIn any game of cricket, it is important to seize the initiative, and it becomes even more crucial in the first game of a series as high profile as this one. In the dressing room, we have discussed the significance of beginning well, be it with bat or ball. A lot of the times, we have tried to win the first session because that in a way sets the tone for the rest of the day, and the first day sets the tone for the rest of the Test.
That's where India are fortunate to have Viru and Gauti opening the batting, and Zak and Umesh operating with the new ball. Viru and Gauti are the best India opening combination, an opinion backed by impressive numbers, and among the top opening combines to have played Test cricket. They are good friends off the pitch, and that is all too obvious when they are batting in the middle.
Deadly duo Both are capable of putting the bad and good deliveries away but importantly, they also share an excellent understanding which means that even when the bowlers are giving nothing away, they can play the tip-and-run game to perfection.
I can vouch from experience that for a fielding side, nothing is more frustrating than to concede sharp singles when bowlers are bowling well. When one batsman is a right-hander and the other a left-hander, it throws bowlers off rhythm, constantly demands the fielders to change positions and takes away the 'flow' that fielding sides thrive on.Viru and Gauti are past masters at running brilliantly between wickets. There are few more exciting sights in international cricket than Viru in full flight. He can annihilate any attack; to sit in the dressing room and watch him take the best apart is quite an experience.
Complete bowlerJust like Viru, Zak has established himself as a massive force in international cricket. He is now quite the complete bowler who knows his body and bowling inside out. He is crafty and dangerous with the new ball, getting it to go both ways, and in Ahmedabad, there will be reverse swing as well for him and Umesh.

What is the best VPN to get around the Chinese Firewall
I live in China, its great, but I hate the firewall. Ever since they blocked Youtube, I've been trying to get a good connection to a proxy server. I still have not found a good enough proxy to watch youtube. So I am looking for a paid VPN, but I don't know what would be the best to go for. Since my connection in China is bad enough I need a VPN that doesn't slow down my connection any more. Any ideas would be helpful.

YouTube and free vpns
I have been able to access YouTube videos through free vpns like vtunnel and ninjacloak, but you can't upload through these. You can just search and watch. As far as paid vpns go, I've heard great things about Witopia, but I've heard rumors that it doesn't work very well on Macs. However, this is old info. They (the proxy administrators) were trying to get Witopia to work on Macs the last I heard...

As far as paid Vpn's go, there's a comparison or strongvpn and 12vpn here http://unblockfacebookinchina.info/12vpn-vs-strongvpn Sorry if you read this post earlier today, it's not free accounts, its a free viscosity license!

Best Mac VPN for use in China
Yes, I also like www.12vpn.com best for macs. It is fast with no speed caps, stable, very very good value ($35/year for their Lite plan). They're always adding servers (up to 18 OpenVPN servers now, 8 PPTP & L2TP servers) and to switch servers, they don't charge or make you upgrade. You can test to find which servers tend to work best for you, or let 12vpn automatically select. It's lame when VPNs advertise they have lots of servers, but then you can't switch them yourself or can only switch a few times per month unless you pay $75 to $300/year.
12vpn still provides a free Viscosity license, normally $9. Viscosity is by far the best Leopard/Snow Leopard VPN client. Take a look at the screenshots. So whatever VPN you end up using, try to make sure you're using the OpenVPN protocol and use the Viscosity client. If you have an iPhone or iPad, all of the 12vpn plans include PPTP & L2TP servers for use with your mobile device, so you can use both at the same time without buying an additional plan or upgrading. Their Lite plan is more than enough for most users. No speed cap but a 10GB/month data transfer limit. I've never come close to going over and I'm on youtube for hours sometimes. The $35/year Lite plan is at: www.12vpn.com/Lite/ Quote:

My wife travels to China several times a year on business and has no problem accessing Facebook or other sites using Cloak. It works like a VPN on Mac and iOS devices securing your connection, and has a free plan along with some quite reasonable price options if you are downloading a lot of data.

Bypass the Great Firewall of China with the Best VPN.
There are a number of VPN Service Providers! Just like PureVPN, Strong VPN HideMyAss etc. In my own experience, HideMyAss VPN works the best
Because HideMyAssVPN was able to unblock and access US-centric sites like Netflix, Hulu, Facebook, Youtube, Twitter (the unfiltered version), also many VoIP sites, without losing Internet speed or data quality. It also went through the Great Firewall without a hitch. Here is the Best VPN Reviews site, they provide a best vpn providers of the Industry, http://www.virtualprivate-network.co...vpn-for-china/ |

Astrill has been solid throughout the whole ordeal minus about 2 weeks when the party changed hands or what ever they did.
Astrill just released their open VPN stealth package for $5/month or $10 for the router package if you own a ddWRT router. I'm using the regular package as it works just fine with all blocked sites and torrenting for $60/year, but add-ons may cost you up to $180/year. if this was the only option with Astrill, I'd move over to another service or just give up accessing blocked sites. |

Most of my friends use Astrill. I've used it too and it was very fast and reliable. If you're looking for a free solution, you can try FreeGate but it won't be nearly as fast or reliable as a paid VPN.

Trouble with many public VPNs is that their IP addresses are known, so they're easy for the authorities to block.
One solution is to have someone with broadband access in a freer country run a VPN on a machine there. As long as that VPN remains under-the-radar, you should be able to connect to that. So, best not to mention it too much (or repeatedly visit "what is my IP address" sites, which can database likely VPN and proxy users). http://unvexed.blogspot.com/2012/08/...ypted-vpn.html has instructions for doing this on a $35 Raspberry Pi, but the same approach can be used with any spare PC running any flavor of Linux. The PC doesn't need to be very powerful for this application. Needless to say, the machine needs to be powered-on at all times in order for you to use it. That's one advantage of the Raspberry Pi-- it runs very well off an iPhone charger, so the electric bills are tiny. |

Major League Lacrosse: Boston Cannons Week 5 Check-In
The Boston Cannons have started the season in the comforts of Harvard Stadium, going 3-1 in front of an average of 9,078 fans per game in their home city.
Now, the Cannons kick off a stretch of four games on the road, starting 7 p.m. Saturday against Rochester in Sahlen's Stadium.
Major League Lacrosse: Boston Cannons Week 4 Check-In
Boston Cannons coach Bill Daye knows what to expect when playing the Long Island Lizards.
The two Major League Lacrosse rivals meet for the second time in the young season, and Daye knows it has historically been a battle between the two squads. They'll meet a third time later in the season.
Inside Lacrosse 2010 Laxies: Meeting the Personalities of the Year
Player of the Year awards are all well and good, but when it comes to the Laxies and which piece of hardware the players really want to take home, we all know it comes down to the other POY — the Personality of the Year.
This year, we've got two returning nominees, one phenom and two longtime funny guys who are finally getting their due. However, writing up a resume for why a certain guy deserves a personality award is like trying to explain why Zack Galifianakis is funny — it makes more sense to just roll the video.

Matt Danowski has already made it onto SportCenter's Top 10 plays this year. If the UNC-Duke game from last weekend was televised, than I think this one would have made it on there too.

Posted by Rav Yosef Kanefsky
Friends have correctly pointed out to me over the last few days that my post of last Thursday was too strident in tone, and too light in halachik discussion and sourcing. I am again reminded why our Sages advised us to acquire friends, and why God blesses us with them.
For the stridency of the tone, I sincerely apologize. I can and should do better.
With regard to the substance, I share two points. The first concerns the proper halachik execution for the omission of the blessing "for You have not made me a woman". Rabbi Lopatin articulated it well, and I will here summarize his argument for it is indispensible to this change in practice.
(1) We are familiar from our siddur with the blessing "For You have not made me a non-Jew". In our printed versions of the Talmud however, (see Menachot 43b) the blessing appears not in the negative formulation, rather in the positive language "for You have made me an Israelite" (שעשאני ישראל). While the majority of Talmudic commentaries and Codes nonetheless maintained that the correct version is the one we have in our siddur, two prominent Sages demurred. Both Rosh (Brachot 9:24) and the Vilna Gaon prescribe the recitation of "for You have made me an Israelite" , in accordance with our version of the Talmud.
(2) Bach (O.C 46) , while aligning himself with the majority position, rules that if in error you said "for You have made me an Israelite", then you should OMIT THE TWO BLESSING THAT FOLLOW, including "for You have not made me a woman". (Mishnah Brurah 46:15 cites this position as well.) This is because the expression of gratitude for being a (male) Jew already includes the sentiments of the subsequent blessings within it.
(3) The argument now proceeds with the assertion that we ought to DELIBERATELY recite "for you have made me an Israelite" (for women, the feminine version שעשאני ישראלית) IN ORDER TO CREATE THE GROUNDS FOR OMITTING "for You have not made me a woman".
This is an unusual halachik maneuver to be sure, one which requires justification. And this brings me to my second point. We don't re-explore our halachik options with an eye toward change, absent a compelling reason to do so. By the same token though, to resist re-examination when such is needed, is to abdicate our responsibility to ensure that we're always practicing halacha at its very best.
As I wrote in my original post, I believe fervently that Orthodoxy has yet to grapple fully or satisfactorily with the dignity of womankind. We know and understand, like no generation before us has known and understood, that women are men's intellectual and spiritual equals. Our society has accordingly decided to treat both genders with equal dignity, and has opened all professional, political and communal endeavors to both genders equally. I believe that our community however, falls short of this goal in many ways. We are, of course, committed to operating within the framework and rules of halacha. But it is not hard to construct a halachik universe in which women's physical space in shul and intellectual space in day schools and Study Halls are not lesser, but equal. It is not hard to imagine a halachik universe in which virtually all positions of leadership are available to all. And we must create a halachik universe in which the extortion of women by their ex-husbands as the Bet Din stands helplessly by, is simply unfathomable. It's not halacha's fault that we are lagging. It's our fault.
I know of course, that "You have not made me a woman" can be understood in many different ways. But by its plain meaning, and by the simple smell test, it has the effect today of justifying our lack of progress, and of affirming for us that women do not possess the spiritual dignity than men do. In OUR specific time, given OUR specific challenges, the blessing hurts us. We thus find ourselves today in an halachik "sha'at hadchak", an "urgent circumstance". The sort of circumstance that justifies utilizing an ingenious halachik stratagem to effectively drop this blessing from our liturgy.
I know there are many who will disagree with me on one or all of the points I've made. I am hopeful that stripped of their stridency, they will be easier to consider on their merits. May our disagreements be for the sake of Heaven.

The Mid Wars Face-Off between DivA and DOGKaiser is over. The dust has settled and all the hubris and pride in the S2 Games offices has once again reached equilibrium. While DivA may have won the first ever public Mid Wars battle with DOGKaiser, rest assured that the war is far from over. Even with DivA and DOGKaiser assuming the roles of Try-hard in the first ever Mid Wars Face-Off, we couldn't have been happier with the turnout and would like to thank everyone that joined us and gave us the pre-release feedback we needed. Over 784,200 silver coins have been distributed to 3921 people who voted for DivA's Mid Wars supremacy and we thank everyone for voting. With the 2nd Annual HoN-iversary kicking off this week, you can imagine just how electric the air is here at S2 Games.
Seeing over 8500 concurrent viewers on Honcast and giving the community such an inside look at Mid Wars one week before release, we knew that the reception of the map was going to be positive. Make no mistake, this game mode belongs to the HoN community and we are very excited to open the floodgates this Friday come patch time. For those of you who missed the Mid Wars Face-Off last Saturday, May 5th, we have confirmation from Honcast that we now have VODs of each match Mid Wars Face-Off Match up on YouTube for all to see. Check those videos if you haven't already and get your first look at the new mode in action or check the Mid Wars launch page at www.heroesofnewerth.com tomorrow we also have another dev blog lined up for release that is going to give you an inside look at how our design team approached designing MOBA's first Mid Wars mode.
Coins have been distributed and VODs of the Mid Wars Face-Off have been posted!

*Update: After assessing this weekend's event, it was decided that 50 silver coins be given to each of the 4,700 people who voted for DOGKaiser in the forum poll. We love how enthusiastic everyone was leading up to this event and we want to make sure that everyone who participated feels our appreciation. That, and frankly even us S2 Staff members couldn't believe that DivA could take DOGKaiser with 3 Emerald Warden picks in a row. EW seems a bit too strong...Thanks again everyone!

Thanks for the free coins, Diva!

I thought the 'lead balance' would win for sure.
Always fun to get free coins! Thank you DiVA!
If Sol's Blessing cant fix it, nothing can....
Thanks Diva and Team Diva for the Coins.
I fully enjoyed the idea behind the Blind Ban picking mode, and am glad that a 15 second respawn was implemented at level 25. However, I will admit that I'm a bit upset at the lack of duplicate heroes. I understand why we can't have fully duplicate heroes, but what about making it so that you simply can't have duplicate heroes on the same team? Say, perhaps, you had a Dev on each team, but couldn't have two Devs on one team. That could allow teams to pick to counter, and give even more variety without having to deal with people who would stack 4 Emerald Wardens and spam wolves.

I just did vocal FC #1000*, with the optimal overdrive path no less. I saved the spot for a personal favorite that had been an Achilles heel of mine for ages: Bullets & Guns by Them Terribles.
*Yes, I keep track of my FCs, but I don't count all-talkies songs on vocals, because who the hell cares?
