Wide seat so my 3 year old can fit in comfortably as well as my 1 year old! My only dislike is the raincover doesn't seen to fit as well as my other buggies!
My second quinny and the best so far!!!! Had the quinny buzz prior and although that was good this is even better. Had I known this was suitable from birth I would have opted for the zapp. Due to it been slimmer and more lightweight. I also think the chair in the zapp moulds to your child better. Ultra stylish as always with quinny and you don't have to be a brain surgeon to put up or take down!!!!! Fantastic xx

PC and console gaming mavens Crytek yesterday officially announced the coming launch of Crysis 3, the third in their fabled series of first person shooters. As I'm sure many of you will agree, it is hoped that the follow up to Crysis 2 will do a better job serving the PC audience, although that remains to be seen. The game is scheduled for a Spring 2013 release on Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PC. The press release lists the platforms in exactly that order.
Crysis 3 finally lets players assume the role of the indefatigable Prophet, who was in the first two games, but never as a player character if memory serves. This is quite interesting because to my recollection he died several times – including being stranded on Lingshan in the first game, and then collapsing in a heap in the second. For the third outing, Prophet will come back stronger than ever despite all of these minor setbacks, armed with an improved version of the nanosuit and a slew of new weapons. The game will once again take place in New York, although a different version of the city. Both CELL and the Ceph will still be around the give Prophet great grief and plenty of stuff to shoot at, while the city will again be divided into distinct areas, though Cevat Yerli is saying this will definitely be a sandbox shooter, so hopefully we'll get to do more freeroaming than Crysis 2 allowed for.
The game is already available for pre-order, with several editions offered, mostly giving gamers access to exclusive multiplayer extras.
The reason we should probably be more excited about Crysis 3 than we were about Crysis 2 is that this one is being built with DirectX 11 as the native API, and should have it out of the box for the PC version (or out of the Origin more like, since this is an EA-published title).
Coincidentally, Crytek have also announced yesterday the release of an update to their CryENGINE 3, the powerplant behind Crysis 2 and the upcoming Crysis 3. Version 3.4 of the software development kit (which is free for developers) integrates many lessons learned by software engineers since last year's Crysis 2 outing. This has resulted in a DX11-optimized engine that now implements much more detailed tessellation, better facial rendering, stronger shaders, a new glass texture shader (so shooting out windows is more fun than before), and enhancements to volumetric fog, draw distance, lighting, and much more. In short, this is a proper DX11 engine, not an upgraded DX9/DX10 build.
To drive that point home, Crytek have provided a cool and insightful video demoing the new SDK, and it looks quite impressive. I have a hunch Crytek will use Crysis 3 to get back on the good side of PC gamers once more, but of course those console versions do indicate that development resources are split three ways, at least theoretically. And naturally the two consoles are nowhere near DX11-worthy. Then again, being a 2013 game we may even see some sort of adaptation for a yet wider range of devices, including several notable mobile platforms. And maybe the dashboards of hover cars.
All tongue in cheekness aside, this is by far the biggest game we know of for 2013, and we appreciate Crytek being so candid about it and forthcoming with information. It's especially good to have what appears to be a solid release date. We are definitely stoked.

Atlantic Bch is a wonderful beach to visit. There are a number of good resturants, shopping areas, and hotels to choose from. Several times during the year they offer live entertainment and festivals.
I'm a white sugary, gulf sand kind of guy. Never been fond of the east-coast sand. I was pleasantly surprised by Atlantic Beach. Wide open, pristine beach with great water and very few people. One of the nicest places I've ever been and the local surf scene is excellent.
Great beach for some shelling, a few surfers and near the hotel/restaurants. Good biking spot. kids will love the soft sand. Boat traffic adds to the splendor of the day. Can be windy. A very nice area.
We went to find sharks teeth and was not disappointed. We found a few. Loved watching the ships come and go and the surfers were amazing.

I was placing an order with EBuyer last week when I stumbled across an interesting USB cable for only £6.56. I decided it was cheap enough to take a risk on so I went ahead and ordered it.
I have now checked out the cable and can confirm that it is a PL-23XX cable. It works perfectly. It comes in generic packaging with a driver CD, EBuyer sell it as their own product. Their QuickFind Code for it is 39504.

Promotional products are known as brand marketing articles. Some of the promotional products such as the promotional conference folders are a step ahead of the others in their ability to give a huge display of the brand in the public. They are known for their special use in conferences and seminars. Thus, they are better categorized as 'conference gifts', hence they do not appear as a free gift given to the customers. This is an added advantage of the printed conference folders.
The conventional advertisements often fail to convince the people about the quality of the product or the service. This is because of their exaggerated display of the brand features. Unlike the advertisements, the conference folders do not impose the features of the brand on the customers. They present themselves as a utility article at a conference or a seminar and draw the attention of the customers to the brand in a friendly manner. Thus, the printed conference folders influence the customers and gain their goodwill. In order to achieve this, the folders have to offer the best quality.
There is a tough competition in the market of promotional gifts. Every business is now trying its best to impress the customers with the best quality gift. In order to be at par with the competitors, you have to distribute the best quality gift that suits the standard of your brand. To select the ideal promotional gifts for your brand, please log on to the website to check our presentation folders printing.
Conference folders outdo the other promotional products in many ways. The printed folders perform multiple functions at many places. At a seminar or an exhibition venue, they carry the brand portfolio. When carried to an office by the recipient, the folder will change its role to an office utility article. The user may fill it with the important
documents and keep it at his desk during work. While going home, he might carry the folder with some important papers that he requires at home. Many youngsters, especially those who are looking for a job, use the conference folders as portfolio carriers. This gives another wonderful opportunity for the brand to get exposed among potential clients. The user, for example, an
IT professional or a finance student, will be meeting people with similar profiles at the interview spot. There is a chance that the company also targeted the same category of people during the conference or meeting in which it distributed the folders. Thus, the brand imprinted on the folder gains the best visibility there.
In order to convert the promotional conference folders into a prospective brand promotion article, they have to be printed attractively. Desing2Express online printing service offers the brand imprint service for all its products. To see the details, please visit our website presentation folders.

Annual leave is always a big event and long anticipated. The long haul flight and complete change of scene is hugely exciting at the end of the school year and we always have so much fun catching up with family and being spoiled rotten. Sadly, we never quite manage to put in the required effort in to see all the friends in England that we would love to catch up with and frighteningly the years are slipping by so quickly. Every time I go back to England I feel nostalgia for my old life and this year it was underpinned by the fact that we've been living in East Africa for nearly ten years now. I had a slight panic about the prospect of never actually 'going home', much to my husband's annoyance.
Since completing the fiction writing course, I've been spring cleaning like mad because returning to Nairobi after visiting the UK makes everything look different. After the homely clutter of English houses full of very nice things, ornaments, pretty colours, fitted carpets, mod cons etc. the parquet floor here seems cold, I find myself wondering how we continue to live with no carpet on the creaky stairs, how we tolerate the poky, dark kitchen, the scruffy curtains that were chewed by puppies years ago now look like rags. The old sofas and cushions look scruffier, the walls seem bare and dirty and there are always far too many depressing hidden corners filled with dust and utter rubbish that we have been busy accumulating.
Gladys and Florence who work in our house must have been inwardly swearing on Saturday morning as I spent hours holed up inside cupboards throwing things out with abandon, kicking up clouds of dust in the process and failing to return anything back inside. Sweating and filthy, I dropped a heavy box on my foot and head butted a wooden shelf in the process. As the once immaculate upstairs corridor became clogged with increasing piles of junk, they were probably concerned that their usual half day of work was going to run into the afternoon and evening. In the end no overtime was necessary and I tried to counter the fact that I was behaving like a woman possessed by giving out the finally unpacked new radios and scarves that we brought from England as gifts for everyone. Phew. That is only one room tackled (an important one because my computer is in here) and so many more corners and cupboards lie in wait. I wonder how long my tidying fervour will last?
Soon, the urge to spring clean will fade and I will fall back into scruffy indolence. Eventually I'll stop noticing the million stains on the piece of white 'off cut' carpet in the sitting room that I bought ill advisedly after our UK visit last year in a desperate attempt to brighten up the wood floors. Magasines, newspapers and paperwork will pile up everywhere again. It takes time to settle back in to expat life and sometimes a lot of imagination to make Nairobi look more like home.

Pools, lakes, ponds, and beaches mean summer fun and cool relief from hot weather. But water also can be dangerous for kids if you don't take the proper precautions. Nearly 1,000 kids die each year by drowning. And most drownings occur in home swimming pools.
The good news is there are many ways to keep your kids safe in the water and make sure that they take the right precautions when they're on their own.
Kids need constant supervision around water - whether the water is in a bathtub, a wading pool, an ornamental fish pond, a swimming pool, a spa, the beach, or a lake.
Young children are especially vulnerable - they can drown in less than 2 inches (6 centimeters) of water. That means drowning can happen where you'd least expect it - the sink, the toilet bowl, fountains, buckets, inflatable pools, or small bodies of standing water around your home, such as ditches filled with rain water. Always watch children closely when they're in or near any water.
It's a good idea to learn to swim, and kids older than 4 years should learn to swim, too (check the local recreation center for classes taught by qualified instructors). Don't assume, however, that a child who knows how to swim isn't at risk for drowning. It's important to supervise kids while they're in the water, no matter what their swimming skill levels.
Invest in proper-fitting, Coast Guard-approved flotation devices (life vests) and use them whenever a child is near water. Check the weight and size recommendations on the label, then have your child try it on to make sure it fits snugly. For kids younger than 5 years old, choose a vest with a strap between the legs and head support - the collar will keep the child's head up and face out of the water. Inflatable vests and arm devices such as water wings are not effective protection against drowning.
Water safety precautions start in the home.
The bathroom is full of dangers for youngsters. Never leave a young child unattended in the bathroom, especially while bathing - even if the child appears to be well propped in a safety tub or bath ring. Put away all hair dryers and other electrical appliances to avoid the risk of electrocution.
Hot water can also be dangerous, particularly for kids who are younger than the age of 5. Young children have thinner skin than older kids and adults, which means they burn more easily. Just 3 seconds of exposure to hot tap water that's 140º Fahrenheit (60º Celsius) can give a child a third-degree burn.
You can reduce the risk of scalding by turning the water heater thermostat in your home down to 120º Fahrenheit (49º Celsius) and by always testing the water with your wrist or elbow before placing your child in the bath.
Outside the home, your awareness can go a long way in preventing accidents. Find out where the water hazards in your neighborhood are. Who has a pool or water spa? Where are the retaining ponds or creeks that may attract kids? Make neighbors who have pools aware that you have a young child and ask them to keep their gates locked.
Having a pool, pond, spa, or hot tub on your property is a tremendous responsibility when it comes to safety issues.
Hot tubs may feel great to adults, but kids can become dangerously overheated in them and can even drown - so it's best not to let them use them at all. Having a fence (one that goes directly around the pool or spa) between the water and your house is the best safety investment you can make. This could go a long way toward preventing pool-related drownings.
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), fences should meet the following rules:
You can buy other devices, such as pool covers and alarms, but the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) says that they have not proved effective against drowning for very young children. The AAP strongly supports fencing as the best measure of protection.
It's important to teach your kids proper pool and spa behavior, and to make sure that you take the right precautions, too.
Kids shouldn't run or push around the pool and should never dive in areas that are not marked for diving. If the weather turns bad (especially if there's lightning), they should get out of the pool immediately. Let them know, too, that they should contact the lifeguard or an adult if there's an emergency.
Above all, supervise your kids at all times. Don't assume that just because your child took swimming lessons or is using a flotation device such as an inner tube or inflatable raft that there is no drowning risk. If you're at a party, it's especially easy to become distracted, so designate an adult who will be responsible for watching the children. If you leave your child with a babysitter, make sure he or she knows your rules for the pool.
Seconds count when it comes to water emergencies, so take a cordless phone with you when you're watching kids during water play. A quick-dial feature keyed to 911 or your local emergency center will also save additional seconds. If you receive a call while supervising kids, keep your conversation brief to prevent being distracted.
Once you've installed all your safety equipment, review your home for water hazards and plan what to do in an emergency. Learn CPR (other caregivers should learn it, too) and make sure you have safety equipment, such as emergency flotation devices, that are in good shape and are close at hand when boating or swimming. Post emergency numbers on all phones and make sure all caregivers are aware of their locations. After your kids are finished playing in the pool for the day, be sure to remove all pool toys and put them away. Children have drowned while trying to retrieve playthings left in the pool.
You should still be concerned about water safety, even after the swim season has passed. Pools with covers are not safe; many kids attempt to walk on top of pools during the winter months and may get trapped underneath a pool cover.
In addition, icy pools, ponds, and streams are tempting play areas for kids, so keep your pool gates locked and teach your child to stay away from water without your supervision. If you have an above-ground pool, it's wise to always lock or remove the ladder when the pool is not in use.
First, teach kids never to swim alone. Using the buddy system means there's always someone looking out for you. Make sure your kids understand that swimming in a pool is different from swimming in a lake or the ocean - there are different hazards for each.
Here are some tips:
Teach kids to always swim when and where a lifeguard is on duty. They shouldn't swim close to piers or pilings because sudden water movements may cause swimmers to collide with them.
Whether at the lake or at the beach, teach your child to get out of the water during bad weather, especially lightning.
Water parks can be a lot of fun for kids, as long as you keep safety in mind. Before you go, make sure the park is monitored by qualified lifeguards. Once there, read all posted signs before letting your child on any rides (many rides have age, height, weight, or health requirements).
Teach your kids to follow all rules and directions, such as walking instead of running and always going down the water slide in the right position - feet first and face up. A Coast-Guard approved life jacket is a good idea, too.
Know which rides are appropriate for your child's age and development. For example, wave pools can quickly go from calm to rough, putting even a good swimmer in over his or her head. Younger children can be intimidated by older kids' splashing and roughhousing.
Whenever a child is missing, always check the pool first. Survival depends on a quick rescue and restarting breathing as soon as possible.
If you find a child in the water, immediately get the child out while calling loudly for help. If someone else is available, have them call 911. Check to ensure the child's air passages are clear. If the child is not breathing, immediately start CPR as necessary.
Do five cycles of rescue breathing and chest compressions, which takes about 2 minutes. If the child is still not breathing, dial 911 to get help if someone hasn't already called. Continue giving CPR.
If the child does start breathing, lie the child on his or her side. (This helps keep the airway open and allows fluids to drain so that the child doesn't choke.) Also, dial the emergency number and follow any instructions that the emergency operators provide.
If you think the child may have suffered a neck injury, such as with diving, then keep the child on his or her back and brace the neck and shoulders with your hands and forearms, until emergency help arrives. Don't let the child move. Speak in calm tones to keep the child comforted. Continue to watch for adequate breathing.
Drowning, although the biggest worry, isn't the only concern when babies are exposed to water. Infants are particularly susceptible to diseases that can be transmitted in water. After introducing an infant to a pool, dry the child's ears carefully with a towel or cotton ball to help prevent swimmer's ear (an ear infection that occurs as the result of trapped water in the ear canal). After a dip, wash your baby with a mild soap and shampoo the hair to remove pool chemicals.
Water temperatures below 85º Fahrenheit (29º Celsius) can cause babies to lose heat quickly, putting them at risk for hypothermia (when body temperature falls below normal). Shivering infants or those whose lips are turning blue should be removed from the water immediately, dried, and kept in a towel.
Infants can also spread disease in a pool. The parasite Cryptosporidium , which normally lives in the gastrointestinal tract and is found in feces, can be released into pools by babies with leaky diapers. When swallowed by other swimmers, the parasite can cause severe diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, weight loss, and dehydration.
The safest thing to do is to keep your baby out of public pools until the child is toilet taught . If you do decide to take the baby in for a dip, use waterproof diapers only and change the diapers frequently (but not poolside!), washing your child well each time. Keep any child with diarrhea or a gastrointestinal illness out of the pool during the illness and for 2 weeks afterward. Provide frequent bathroom breaks for kids who are already toilet taught.
Water play can be a great source of fun and exercise. You'll enjoy the water experience more by knowing and practicing these safety precautions.

How to Prevent Hair Loss in Women
By Jody Morse
Losing about 100 strands of hair a day is normal. If you begin noticing a significant increase in the amount of hair in the shower drain or in your brush, chances are that you will be concerned, and with good reason. Hair loss is no laughing matter, as it can indicate a serious health problem. Here are some habits that can help stop hair loss in women.
Take a Daily Multivitamin and Follow a Healthy Diet
Malnutrition is one possible cause of female hair loss. It is important to make sure that all of your daily vitamin requirements are being met. A daily multivitamin that contains protein, iron, calcium, and vitamins A and D can help prevent hair loss in women.
Women who lose a significant amount of weight due to crash dieting or eating disorders are more prone to hair loss. This is because their nutritional needs are often not being met. Although it is best to take a daily multivitamin, it is just as important to follow a well-balanced diet to prevent hair loss. Have your physician or a nutritionist put together a nutritional plan that meets all your needs.
Keep Stress Levels at a Minimum
Stress can also cause hair loss in women. The death of a family member, divorce, job loss, and serious illness are some of the possible triggers of stress. Finding healthy ways to cope with stress can help prevent it from causing female hair loss. For example, yoga and meditation are good for combating stress and are easy to practice anywhere.
Find out if a Hormonal Imbalance Is to Blame
Hair loss in women is likely to occur when there is a hormonal imbalance. This problem is best resolved through a visit to an endocrinologist who can figure out the specifics of the problem and prescribe a medication that targets the cause and not just the symptoms.
Here are some of the conditions that cause hair loss and which your doctor can help you with.
Thyroid Disorders
Both hypothyroidism, an underactive thyroid, and hyperthyroidism, an overactive thyroid, are common causes of female hair loss.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
PCOS is another condition that can cause hormonal imbalance. This condition, which also causes acne and obesity, can lead to female hair loss. Getting PCOS treated can help prevent hair from falling out.
Hair loss can be one of the very first signs of poor blood sugar regulation for some diabetics. The hormonal imbalances associated with PCOS can also often lead to diabetes.
Diet, stress, and hormonal imbalances are just a few of the many possible causes of female hair loss. To find out what is causing the problem for you, it is important to talk to a doctor. Treating the underlying condition plays an essential role in preventing hair loss in women.

One of Monopoly's iconic game tokens is going to be replaced, and gamemaker Hasbro wants you to decide which one it will be. Votes can be made through February 5th on Monopoly's Facebook page, with all of the tokens up for possible banishment -- the car, thimble, boot, Scottie dog, battleship, hat, iron and wheelbarrow. Ballots are cast for which piece the voter wants to save. As of last night (January 9th), the wheelbarrow was in the most trouble, with only three percent of the "save" votes, followed by the iron and the boot, which were tied at six percent. The Scottie dog was in the lead with 33 percent of the "save" vote, followed by the car with 15 percent. Also up to voters is which new piece will replace the one that's dumped, from the choices of a helicopter, diamond ring, robot, cat and guitar. The new Monopoly with the updated game pieces will hit stores later this year. This isn't the first time Hasbro has changed the classic Monopoly tokens. Three of the game's original ones, a purse, lantern and rocking horse, were replaced in the 1950s by the Scottie dog, wheelbarrow and a man on horseback.

- Work out using a resistance band.
- Invest in a treadmill, so you can work out while you watch.
- Iron your clothes while watching.

Oh please please please let him get the other job. Make my day!
Yes, it's a downside that he has NO experience with these things, but he's a partisan crony, and that's all that counts.
Three undersized and overpriced ferries were built on his watch while the bidders colluded on the contract! Oh boy. The contractors lined up to overbid on South Sound services are grinning ear to ear at the thought that Moseley would get the job.
Moseley would have wrung his hands while WSF was destroyed. It was Larry Seaquist who's been the real leader every step of the way.
And go figure that the head of the country's largest ferry system earns less than "South Sound 911," whatever the heck THAT is.
It's a small, small price to pay for getting Moseley out of WSF. Especially if Pierce County voters pick up the tab.
Dear Pierce county voters, you are being rooked, scammed, taken to the cleaners on the South Sound 911 boondoggle. And if Moseley is hired, you will get exactly what you deserve.
But don't let that stop you from hiring Moseley! We need new leadership at WSF. Our gain is your loss.
I have said for a number of years, and written several times in the Business Journal (www.kpbj.com) over about the past 5 years or so, that the person who SHOULD be running the Ferry System is Larry Seaquist.
It doesn't matter if you agree with his politics or not, or like or dislike what he's done in the legislature, the bottom line is that Seaquist has a good, solid handle on the problems at WSF — as well as on how to fix them.
I wish we could draft him into the job.

The Dynamics of Physician Alignment
Qualify for a free subscription to HealthLeaders magazine.
This article appears in the September issue of HealthLeaders magazine.
The 2013 Physician-Hospital Alignment Survey demonstrates that healthcare organizations are recasting their priorities to meet the expected requirements of industry reform. And, as the annual HealthLeaders Media survey reveals, not only are there changes in emphasis regarding employment models, but also there is increased pursuit of collaborative relationships and at-risk payment models. Leaders are showing increasing interest in undertaking initiatives in population health and accountable care models.
Looking at population served
Maximizing admissions has been a long-standing objective of hospital-physician alignment efforts. As the healthcare industry shifts away from fee-for-service, more treatment will take place in outpatient and ambulatory environments and the patient mix will change in those settings as well as at acute care hospitals.
Leaders at hospitals and health systems will probably rely more on their specialists, which will make it important to offer a targeted set of specialty services and to have a primary care network with sufficient coverage to provide the necessary referrals.
Pamela Stoyanoff, executive vice president and chief operating officer for Methodist Health System, which operates five hospitals and 1,161 licensed beds in the Dallas area, summarizes the classic approach to building referrals: "You have to shore up referrals, and physicians in your primary care network are the ones who are giving specialists their referrals. I think that's one reason so many health systems are buying big physician primary care practices."
Motivating physicians to participate in quality and safety initiatives is included among the top three physician alignment objectives by 73%, more than any other objective. But nearly half of respondents (47%) say one of the top three objectives behind their physician alignment strategy is to maximize the patient population served, which doesn't necessarily mean maximizing admissions.
"We've done a lot of things to try to improve access to care, which gets patients the right care at the right place at the right time, " says Scott Nygaard, MD, chief medical officer at physician services for Lee Memorial Health System in Fort Myers, Fla., which serves Lee County through four acute care hospitals. "We're trying to create a better delivery system."
Is fee-for-service sustainable?
Alignment discussions are taking on a flavor of collaboration or mutual accountability, fostered by doubts on the part of many in acute care settings about whether the fee-for-service business model is sustainable.

Red language is a native-code compiled functional, imperative, symbolic, and homoiconic programming language that re-uses most of REBOL's syntax and semantics. Both static and JIT compilation support are planned. A strong emphasis is made on concurrency and both task and data parallelism support using an actor-like abstraction and parallel collections (Scala-like). The target range of usage spreads from low-level system programming (thanks to the built-in Red/System C-level DSL) and embedded systems, up to high-level scripting, with an optional REPL console.
Quassel IRC is a modern, cross-platform, distributed IRC client, meaning that one or more clients can attach to and detach from a central core, much like the popular combination of screen and a text-based IRC client, but graphical. In addition to this unique feature, it aims to be a comfortable chatting program.
Remote Launcher is an easy to use tool that enables you to launch applications remotely on your PC via your Android device with a single click. It can also be used to start your PC up, even if it is turned off, with the built in support for Wake On LAN. It consists of an Android app and a small server program for your PC. You can configure Remote Launcher to start any application on your PC. For example, it can start your mediacenter, shutdown or restart the computer, or run a custom script.
SecuXabber is a secure Jabber-client for Android that uses strong, asymmetric encryption on top of the XMPP protocol. A key pair is generated on application start-up. Users can send their public key to other SecuXabber users via Bluetooth. This face-to-face check ensures the veracity of the public key. After the keys have been imported by both users, all communication between them is encrypted using strong 4096 bit encryption. It supports all relevant XMPP features, works with multiple accounts, is highly customizable, and has many other useful features.
Serv-U FTP Server is a Web, mobile device, SFTP, and FTPS file transfer server. It handles hundreds of GBs per day and thousands of users. The advanced Web interface permits transfer of multiple, large files in a single operation. It supports mobile devices including iPad, iPhone, and Android, as well as IPv6, FIPS 140-2, and more.
Janus is a platform designed to deal with the implementation and deployment of holonic and multi-agent systems. It is based on the CRIO organizational metamodel. The concepts of role and organization are supported as first-class entities. Janus provides a comprehensive set of features for developing, running, displaying, and monitoring multi-agent-based applications. The platform also natively manages the concept of recursive agents (holon or agents composed of agents). It can also run threaded and non-threaded agents without using the organizational and holonic API. It provides features equivalent to those of TinyMAS or MadKit.
CT-gui is a touch-friendly GUI toolkit which can be used on the Linux desktop and on Android devices. Development can be done quickly and easily on a Linux box, then ported to an Android tablet or phone. For graphics, only OpenGL or OpenGL ES is used. For audio, ALSA is used for Linux and OpenSL ES for Android. As you might expect, the Android SDK and NDK should be installed on your system. Two demo projects called CT-synth and CT-farfisa are included, which are a polyphonic synthesizer with about 20 built-in patches, and an organ with many sounds. These can be played using the mouse or your fingers, or with an attached MIDI keyboard.
Remote Launcher is an easy-to-use tool that enables you to launch applications remotely on your PC via your Android device. It consists of an Android application (proprietary) and a small server program (GPLv2) for your PC. You can configure Remote Launcher to start any application on your PC with a single click on your Android device. For example, it can start your mediacenter, shutdown or restart the computer, or run a custom script. It has been tested on Ubuntu and Windows 7.
Zyan Drench is a simple yet very entertaining game developed using the Zyan Communication Framework. The Game board is a random picture of size 15x15. Start from the top-left corner of the board. Select a new color for the top-left pixel, and all adjacent pixels of the same color will be painted over with the new color. The goal is to drench the whole board with your own color. Zyan Drench has several modes: play against Android phone (with adjustable skill level), play solo (classic single-player mode), and network game. It is completely ad-free and open source.

For most cluster configurations there is no /etc/passwd file. User name (really password entry -- 'pwent') information is provided by the BeoNSS name service. When user starts a process on a cluster slave node, the only valid getpwent() entry for that process is that single user. If you do add "files" to the name service switch creation in the node_up script you might also want to 'scp -p /etc/passwd $NODE:/etc' in the script.

We've seen quite a bit of snow here in New York City since winter officially began last month. As the temperatures continue to drop and the cold winds blow, we all secretly hope for a snow day. No snow in your area? No problem!
We've seen quite a bit of snow here in New York City since winter officially began last month. As the temperatures continue to drop and the cold winds blow, we all secretly hope for a snow day. No snow in your area? No problem! You'll find plenty of snow-themed books right here. Grab a cup of hot chocolate and read about some fantastic read-alouds and lesson ideas with my January booklist. Click on the links to find out more about the authors and illustrators featured this month, and keep your fingers crossed for lots and lots of snow.
Miss Mahoney's January Book Picks!
Jonathan and Matthew, two super-cute kindergartners, had a great time taking a picture walk through Snowmen at Night!
Have your students create snow characters whose faces reflect the snow people's personalities and character traits. As you read this book, you'll find out lots of snow facts. The back cover of the book has newspaper clippings that will pique the interest of your students. Track the weather and use words to describe the temperature and the January sky. If you live in a really snowy place, have children measure snowfall totals as well.
After reading Snowballs to Ms. Ruiz's kindergarten class, we decided to have our very own snow day. We had a great time creating a unique art gallery of snow people within the warmth of the classroom. Want a snow day of your own? It's easy — just draw . . . cut . . . paste . . . and create!
Cutting through the thick, patterned scrapbooking material wasn't easy for these kindergartners. However, you can tell that the students had a great time creating their works of art by looking at the smiling faces of Caroline, Reagan, Selina, and Omar.
Add to the excitement of your make-believe snow day by turning the lights down low and snuggling up to Ezra Jack Keats' classic, The Snowy Day. Our school's subscription to One More Story allowed me to pull up the book on a Promethean board. The children were captivated! Check out my post "Online Read Aloud Library!" to find out how to get your own subscription to this amazing collection of online read-alouds.
The Snowy Day by Ezra Jack Keats
Written in 1962, this book is a Caldecott Medal winner and a true classic. I remember reading it (and loving it) when I was just a kid. Follow Peter's adventures as he crunches his way through the snow. The Ezra Jack Keats Foundation is a great site to explore. You'll find animated stories and games for your students by clicking on Kid's Corner.
Thanks to One More Story, you can send an online copy of The Snowy Day to a friend!
While your class is listening to the book, allow your snow people to dry.
I picked up a lot of the art supplies used for this project for FREE from Materials for the Arts. MFTA is part of the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, and allows organizations in the five boroughs of New York City to come and "shop" for art supplies absolutely free. In order to visit their warehouse of goodies, you'll need to register with them, make an appointment, and promise to write "thank you" notes to the organizations that made the donations. That's a pretty good deal!
Finished with your works of art? Mount your students' writing and artwork on colored construction paper before displaying it. It just makes it look so much nicer!
Finally, display all of the snowmen on a bulletin board in your classroom or on a wall in the hallway to create your own little art gallery.
Now, back to the booklist!
Snowmen at Night by Caralyn Buehner
This rhythmical fantasy can be used as a mentor text for lots of writing mini-lessons. Teach your students how to use details to describe setting, in addition to using parentheses, colons, and font size for emphasis. They'll be writing sentences that flow across the pages like poetry in no time.
The illustrations are really beautiful and very cute! I couldn't help but smile as I turned the pages to find the snowmen sipping cups of ice-cold cocoa and gathering up a few snowballs to play baseball. This book will inspire creative writing in your classroom. The illustrator has added hidden shapes in the winter scenery to make it even more fun to read. If you like Snowmen at Night, you'll love Ms. Buehner's newest book, Snowmen All Year.
The Biggest, Best Snowman by Margery Cuyler
When Little Nell has had just about enough from her grumpy BIG sisters, she goes into the woods to get away from it all. See how her animal friends help her to make a BIG snowman and show her sisters that perhaps she's not so little after all. Compare and contrast the bullying sisters with the friendly animals who encourage Nell to try her best and support her along the way. Inference work as well as drawing conclusions about character traits will flow easily off the pages as the story unfolds.
The Snow Friends by Ian Whybrow
You are sure to admire Tiphanie Beeke's illustrations as you meet Little Pig, a character who loves to read. When he reads three new words, "wish," "change," and "friend," his world starts to change. Read on to find out how a change in the weather brings about an unlikely friendship between Little Pig and a lonely bird. You may want to dig out the art supplies from the back of your closet to allow your students to paint a beautiful winter scene with a friend.
All You Need for a Snowman by Alice Schertle
As I read this book, I couldn't help but think of the kindergarten and 1st grade students in my school who are working hard to learn English as a second language. The simple text in this story names lots of common nouns that can help build vocabulary. I could also see how you might pull out all of the fun verbs in this story in order to play a game of charades. If a good amount of snow has fallen around your school and you're feeling adventurous, ask your students to find some of these commonly used items at home and bring them into class. Then, get together to create your own snowman on a snowy day.
I fell in love with this story on the first read many, many years ago. I mean, who doesn't love the work of William Steig? He's written so many great books, such as Shrek!, Amos & Boris, Dr. De Soto, Abel's Island and C D B! Brave Irene is a great resource for vocabulary work in your classroom. If your school includes a values curriculum in your grade, this is the perfect book for teaching children about responsibility, perseverance, and of course, bravery.
Stella, Queen of the Snow by Marie Louise Gay
This book is filled with dialogue and can be used as a resource for practicing reading with fluency and expression. Stella's little brother Sam is VERY curious and asks a lot of questions. Have students use character traits to describe Stella and Sam and find evidence for their thinking. Beautifully illustrated, you can't help but smile when you look at the characters' sweet faces.
Polar Bear Night by Lauren Thompson
Take a journey into the Arctic night where a polar bear cub ventures out of his den and into the stillness around him. Young readers will learn how to sequence details in a story as bear cub encounters other arctic animals. Stephen Savage's unique illustrations pull the reader into the beauty and calmness of this special night.
What child wouldn't jump at the chance to make friends with a snowman? Enjoy this brilliantly illustrated, wordless picture book as the snowman discovers the wonders of the "inside" world.
I love the wordless version of this book, but have found it difficult to use with a large group of students as some of the illustrations are small. However, thanks to the use of technology, we can project the images up on our whiteboards. Try taking pictures of the pages and uploading them onto your computer. Then, you can make a simple slide show and ask students to craft a story around the amazing illustrations. Watch the 1982 movie version of The Snowman for a special treat.
The Snowy Day by Anna Milbourne and Elena Temporin
You'll find great facts about winter, snowflakes, frozen lakes, and much, much more in this fictional story. Try referring to it during a "how-to" nonfiction writing unit to show how the author speaks right to the reader, offering advice and tips along the way.
Hello, Snow! by Hope Vestergaard
Get layered up in your warmest clothing and ready for a day in the snow. Follow these characters through a snowy day that ends up with a lot of falling down. Work on "wonderings" in younger grades as you teach your students to draw conclusions about why the kids had enough of the snow by the end of the story. You'll certainly figure out why they all say, "Goodbye, snow!"
Snow Dance by Lezlie Evans
If only a snow dance could really work as well as it does in this book. The characters get together to create a snow dance and school is canceled for the day. Your students can take notice of the action words in the story as boots are stomping, tongues are tasting, mouths are munching, and snow is crunching. Use this text as a resource in a shared reading lesson for lower leveled readers who need to practice letter sounds, digraphs, and blends.
Seasonal Poetry
Looking for some help with writing poetry this month? Do you need a few new poems for shared reading work? Take a look at these great titles:
Check out Scholastic.com's Wintry Tales booklist for other great titles. I hope that all of these resources inspire your students to read, write, and create some snowy works of art of their own.
Here is a photo I took of Astoria Park during the start of the Blizzard of 2010 that kicked off a snowy winter for New Yorkers.
Once the storm passed, I dug myself out of the snow and returned to the park to find it looking like this. =)
A teacher friend of mine, Mrs. Laura Rosner at John M. Marshall Elementary School, once told me that in order to make a snow day happen, you have to sleep with your pajamas inside out the night before. (I've tried it. Let's just say that snow days are not all that common in New York City!) But tonight, I will sleep with my pj's turned inside out and keep my fingers crossed for a snow day. Let it snow!
Awww, Sandy! How many amazing books have you read to your cute kindergarteners so far this winter? Tons, I'm sure! We have to talk about a book I can send to your class that you haven't actually read to them yet!! I want to thank them for the beautiful book they created and sent to ME!
Love you, too. (By the way - how many snow days have you had in New Jersey so far this year!?) =) Danielle
I LOVE YOU and and so proud of you!!! You rock! Thanks for all the great ideas...Muahhh! xoxo

Player Profile: Paul Maholm
January 1st, 2013 | by Ray Flowers |Paul Maholm's name likely elicits, let's see, a yawn? Before you lock that thought into your head as to what your reaction should be when the Braves' lefties name as mentioned remember this:
Maholm had a better ERA than Homer Bailey, Chris Capuano, Mark Buehrle, Wandy Rodriguez, Jeff Samardzija, Josh Johnson, Adam Wainwright and Ian Kennedy in 2012.
Maholm had a better WHIP than Ryan Vogelsong, A.J. Burnett, Adam Wainwright, Josh Johnson, Ian Kennedy, Yovani Gallardo, Lance Lynn, Tommy Hanson and Tim Lincecum in 2012.
Maholm had more wins than Jordan Zimmerman, Chris Capuano, Roy Halladay, Edinson Volquez, Tim Lincecum, Edwin Jackson, Chad Billingsley and Jeff Samardzija.
Do I have your attention yet?
Paul Maholm isn't exciting, I will give you that. Even with all of the above data the fact of the matter is that Maholm won 13 games, had a 3.67 ERA an a 1.22 WHIP. Those are certainly solid numbers no doubt, but it's not like they will lead to a fantasy championship. However, it should be noted that numbers like those, from a reserve round selection or a waiver-wire pick up, are special numbers. Are you better off spending $23 on Johnny Cueto or $3 on Paul Maholm on draft day? Obviously Cueto is a better pitcher and the one you need more to win a championship, but hopefully you see the point – Maholm is the better value add based on his draft day cost. If you can augment an expensive Cueto with a cheap as all get out Maholm, then you've got something. In terms of return on investment, Maholm was one of the best bargains in baseball in 2012. Can he be so again in 2013?
On the bump Maholm has been very consistent the past two seasons. In 2012 he had a 3.67 ERA and 1.22 WHIP in 189 innings. In 2011 he had a 3.66 ERA and 1.29 WHIP in 162.1 innings. However, like many of the other hurlers I've been reviewing, it's best to realize what Maholm is – he's a rotation filler who won't hurt you. Why do I say that? For some reason he can't seem to consistently win games. Maholm owns a 66-84 career record, and even the past two years when he has pitched so well he's gone 19-25. Wins-loses are of course a bad way to judge pitchers performances, I'm the first to admit that, but in the fantasy game they are one of the four categories that matter to starting hurlers. I should also point out that in four of the past five seasons, despite at least 26 starts each year (more than 30 in four of them), that Paul failed to reach double-digits in wins. For some reason he's just not able to consistently post wins.
The next issue with Maholm is that he lacks a strikeout pitch. For his career Maholm owns a poor 5.71 K/9 mark, and that fact alone removes him from receiving my stamp of approval. Still, it is somewhat heartening to see that he's coming off a career best mark of 6.67, though it should be noted that the mark is 0.61 better than ever before (back in 2008). Maholm isn't going to turn into a league average K arm, just the way it is. Maholm does keep the walks in check, at least he has that going for him, with a BB/9 mark of 2.80 or lower in five of the past six years.
One thing that Maholm does well, very well, is induce grounders. It's why he can be so effective without dominating hitters. Maholm's GB-rate has been at least 49.9 percent every season of his career, and his worst GB/FB ratio for a season is a still impressive 1.69. Consequently he's not exactly a homer magnet as his HR/9 mark has been under one each of the past five years.
Maholm will never be elite. He'll never be someone to build a staff around. He's also a pitcher who could see his performance go down since he lacks elite skills, but not likely up. That's why he's not someone to reach for on draft day, ever. Still, if you've got five or six solid arms in the rotation in a mixed league, and it's the 25th round, you could do worse than calling out Maholm's name on draft day.

C A+F Campus Housing: Smaller dorms are better than the high rises
B A+F Campus Housing: The dorms are pretty narrow and kind of unhomely feel. But the social atmosphere is awesome and everybody is always friendly. It's quite expensive but worth it to dorm. It's also convenient to just wake up 15 minutes before class.
D A+F Campus Housing: Dorms are old. Most don't look nice (except for East Campus and Myers Quad). If you're very lucky, you can get a good room (corner or just randomly unique) in an otherwise mediocre dorm, but the only above average dorms (newer and guaranteed non public bath) are in East Campus Village, which is both very expensive and very inconvenient in terms of location, or the new Rutherford dorm. Most dorms are community baths, but they get cleaned somewhat regularly. Overall dorms are very expensive considering the size of the rooms and amenities, and I find the price hard to justify with "location" when there are nearby apartments and houses that aren't nearly as expensive. Nevertheless, every dorm can be a vibrant source of social life. Because of the price, small size, and strictness of the dorms, most students move off campus after their required freshman year on campus.
A A+F Campus Housing: I love living on campus, I'm close to downtown, the student center, and most of my classes.
A A+F Campus Housing: The freshman dorms are typically smaller, but there is a greater sense of community. The nicer, typically upperclassmen housing options have bigger rooms, but it is harder to meet people.

Written by Christopher Joshua Benton
Each hall has an RA whose two sole purposes in life are to answer any questions residents have, and to try to keep order in the building-neither being an easy task. Each hall has its own parties and socials every so often, and there is definitely a sense of community within every hall. And, get this-the bathrooms are usually very clean, except during football game weekends. One time, a bathroom in Creswell was shut down because it had become a biological hazard over one weekend, which is gross, but it was up and running by Monday. The maintenance staff in the dorms are very nice, as well. All the dorms now have air-conditioning. If you are lucky enough to have an individual unit in your room, like Creswell residents for example, count your blessings. The dorms with central air are usually on the warm side. You can open your windows, but this does not always help.
The Myers, Rutherford, and Mary Lyndon quad is a very popular place to hang out and play ultimate Frisbee. Even before renovations, Myers was a very popular dorm. It is also close to Snelling, which is a big plus. If you live in an all-female dorm, especially Brumby, it can seem to be overrun with sorority girls at times. Many people complain that they feel like they are the only girls on campus who didn't rush. The East Campus Village was designed to resemble apartments in an effort to keep students on campus. They offer 1,200 beds, and preference is given to students who have spent the most time in a dorm.
