Santiago Ramón y Cajal ForMemRS[1] (Spanish: [sanˈtjaɣo raˈmon i kaˈxal]; 1 May 1852 – 18 October 1934)[2] was a Spanish pathologist, histologist, neuroscientist and Nobel laureate. His original pioneering investigations of the microscopic structure of the brain have led him to be designated by many as the father of modern neuroscience. His medical artistry was legendary, and hundreds of his drawings illustrating the delicate arborizations of brain cells are still in use for educational and training purposes.[3]
The son of physician and anatomy lecturer Justo Ramón and Antonia Cajal, Ramón y Cajal was born of Aragonese parents in Petilla de Aragón[2] in Navarre, Spain.
As a child he was transferred between many different schools because of his poor behavior and anti-authoritarian attitude. An extreme example of his precociousness and rebelliousness is his imprisonment at the age of eleven for destroying his neighbor's yard gate with a homemade cannon.[4] He was an avid painter, artist, and gymnast, but his father neither appreciated nor encouraged these abilities. In order to tame his unruly character, his father apprenticed him to a shoemaker and barber, and as he worked Ramón was well known for his pugnacious attitude.[citation needed]
Ramón y Cajal attended the medical school of the University of Zaragoza, where his father was an anatomy teacher, and graduated in 1873.[2] After a competitive examination, he served as a medical officer in the Spanish Army. He took part in an expedition to Cuba in 1874-75, where he contracted malaria and tuberculosis.[2] In order to cure this condition, he attended the Panticosa spa-town in the Pyrenees.[citation needed]
After returning to Spain he married Silveria Fañanás García in 1879, with whom he had four daughters and three sons.[2] In 1877, he received his doctorate in Medicine in Madrid and received the position of anatomy professor of the University of Valencia in 1883.[2] He later held professorships in both Barcelona (1887) and Madrid (1892).[2] He was also the director of the Zaragoza Museum (1879), director of the Instituto Nacional de Higiene - translated as National Institute of Hygiene - (1899), and founder of the Laboratorio de Investigaciones Biológicas - translated as the Laboratory of Biological Investigations - (1922), later renamed to the Instituto Cajal, or Cajal Institute.[2] He died in Madrid in 1934, at the age of 82.[2]
He was satirist critiquing the prevalent social conditions in his country. He is believed to have joined a Masonic lodge.[citation needed]
On Cajal's political and religious views, it has been said that "Cajal was a liberal in politics, an evolutionist in philosophy, an agnostic in religion".[5][6]
Works and theories[edit]
Ramón y Cajal's early work was accomplished at the Universities of Zaragoza and Valencia, where he focused on the pathology of inflammation, the microbiology of cholera, and the structure of Epithelial cells and tissues. It was not until he moved to the University of Barcelona in 1887 that he learned Golgi's silver nitrate preparation and turned his attention to the central nervous system. During this period he made extensive studies of neural material covering many species and most major regions of the brain.
Ramón y Cajal made several major contributions to neuroanatomy. He discovered the axonal growth cone, and experimentally demonstrated that the relationship between nerve cells was not continuous but contiguous. This provided definitive evidence for what would later be known as "neuron doctrine", now widely considered the foundation of modern neuroscience. In debating neural network theories (e.g. neuron theory, reticular theory), Ramón y Cajal was a fierce defender of the neuron theory.
He provided detailed descriptions of cell types associated with neural structures, and produced excellent depictions of structures and their connectivity.
He was an advocate of the existence of dendritic spines, although he did not recognize them as the site of contact from presynaptic cells. He was a proponent of polarization of nerve cell function and his student Rafael Lorente de Nó would continue this study of input/output systems into cable theory and some of the earliest circuit analysis of neural structures.
He discovered a new type of cell, to be named after him: the interstitial cell of Cajal (ICC).[7] This cell is found interleaved among neurons embedded within the smooth muscles lining the gut, serving as the generator and pacemaker of the slow waves of contraction that move material along the gastrointestine, vitally mediating neurotransmission from motor nerves to smooth muscle cells.
In his 1894 Croonian Lecture, he suggested in an extended metaphor that cortical pyramidal cells may become more elaborate with time, as a tree grows and extends its branches. He also devoted a considerable amount of his time to studying hypnosis (which he used to help his wife with birth labor) and parapsychological phenomena, but a book he had written on these areas got lost during the Spanish Civil War.
Cajal received many prizes, distinctions and societal memberships along his scientific career including and honorary Doctorates in Medicine of the Universities of Cambridge and Würzburg and an honorary Doctorate in Philosophy of the Clark University.[2] Nevertheless the most famous distinction he was awarded was the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1906 together with Italian Camillo Golgi "in recognition of their work on the structure of the nervous system".[2] This was seen as quite controversial because Golgi, a stout reticularist, disagreed with Cajal in his view of the neuron doctrine.
The asteroid 117413 Ramonycajal is named in his honor. The Spanish public television filmed a biopic series to commemorate his life.
He published over 100 scientific works and articles in French, Spanish, and German. Among his most notable were Rules and advices on scientific investigation, Histology, Degeneration and regeneration of the nervous system, Manual of normal histology and micrographic technique, Elements of histology, Manual of general Anatomic Pathology, New ideas on the fine anatomy of the nerve centres, Textbook on the nervous system of man and the vertebrates, and The retina of vertebrates.[2]
In 1905, he published five science-fictional "Vacation Stories" under the pen name "Dr. Bacteria."

Gettin' cold at your house?
While watching live tv (sorry, TIVO!), I recently saw a commercial about the Snuggie at $19.95 plus free book light.
Naturally, I went online to look it up. I found out about the Slanket, available at amazon.com (and qvc.com for less), but priced twice as much as the Snuggie. Worth the difference? The Slanket story was appealing: a college guy freezing and needing to use the TV remote control from under his blanket. Gotta love that. Man after my own heart.
[note to self: PR angle -- Slanket, sponsored by TIVO]
Then I found an online debate about the two here. Snuggie: cheap knock-off or better priced? Slanket: overpriced or higher quality?
Then I wondered if I was wasting my time on the internet. And if my bathroom would ever clean itself.
During that message board debate, someone brought up the existence of the Nuddle, priced at $110 with slits for arm holes and a pocket to anchor your feet and keep your spouse from stealing the blanket. The perfect Valentine's gift. But you pay extra for that defensive position.
So, I ask you, dear readers, will someone from these companies please send me a free sample? please buy all these blankets and tell me which one is the best?
K, thx.
How do you keep warm in winter? Snuggie? Slanket? Salsa dancing?

The expansive rooftop bar at the new Bohemian Hotel is just what Savannah needed: a breezy, lipstick-red wrap-around rooftop set to an indie-cred soundtrack with lovely river views – best seen from seats on the northwest corner. There's live music Thursday to Saturday – prepare to rub elbows with the velvet rope.
Greyhound has connections to Atlanta (about five hours), Charleston, SC (about two hours), and Jacksonville, FL (2½ hours).
Embracing a broad scope of the alternative-music scene, this dive bar and venue is in the seedier part of town but will let you experience how alternative Savannah kicks it.
The Amtrak station is just a few miles west of the Historic District.
The Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport is about 5 miles west of downtown off I-16.
Focuses on the local history of segregated schools, hotels, hospitals, jobs and lunch counters. Push the buttons at the Levy's lunch counter – a dramatization, but no less stinging.
Upscale, sustainable, local, fresh: a combination of elements that creates a monumental experience in an elegant, well-run restaurant. If Carolina yellowfin tuna Oscar or five-spice lacquered duck breast sound tempting, go here. The truffle parmesan fries will make you a fiend.
This green coffeehouse cares about coffee and community. It has vegan treats, organic cafe fare and live music or performance art on its stage.
A robust way to see the city is by bike. Rentals are available at Bicycle Link .
Dubbed as 'a musician's lounge, ' this appears to be a chilled-out neighborhood bar where you can grab cheap beer next to cool-looking people. There may be music or karaoke, depending on the night.
Excellent resources and services are available in this center, based in a restored 1860s train station. Many privately operated city tours start here and there's tons of information about various city tours, from carriage to bus. There is also a small interactive tourist info kiosk in the new Visitor Center at Forsyth Park.
The History Museum is a good place to kick off a visit to Savannah's Historic District. The film and displays here give you a solid feel for the city's past. There's a replica of the park bench from the movie Forest Gump , parts of which were shot on location in Savannah, if such things thrill you.
The line outside can begin as early as 8am at this first-come, first served, Southern comfort food institution. Once the lunch bell rings and you are seated family-style, the kitchen unloads on you: fried chicken, beef stew, meatloaf, cheese potatoes, collard greens, black-eyed peas, mac 'n' cheese, rutabaga, candied yams, squash casserole, creamed corn and biscuits.
Although Jim Williams, the Savannah art dealer portrayed by Kevin Spacey in the film version of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, died back in 1990, his infamous mansion didn't become a museum until 2004. You're not allowed to see the upstairs, where Williams' family still lives, but the downstairs is an interior decorator's fantasy.

The licensing system
CCW has developed a licensing system, which provides an efficient service to customers and also helps us to monitor the status of protected species and often contributes to their conservation. CCW also deals with licences to examine, ring or mark protected species or to kill, take or possess them for scientific, educational or conservation purposes.
About the Project
The HABMAP project has produced working habitat maps of the seabed of the southern Irish Sea using novel predictive modelling techniques. A major part of the HABMAP project was to develop a model that used physical characteristics to predict the biological community (biotope) on the seabed. (A biotope is a combination of the physical characteristics of the seabed and the group of species living there.)

Training in unison with bird dogs since 1956Our Training PhilosophyFirst and foremost, we are bird dog trainers. Our bird dog training classes focus on a dog's natural instincts in training them to be the best bird dog they can be. Our training format allows us to work as a member of the dog's pack, as the leader of that pack. We encourage people to seek a true relationship with their dog, a relationship not clouded by anthropomorphism. As people we all tend to give human values and characteristics to our animals. Yet in order to preserve the dignity of the dog, we must emulate nature and perfect inter-species communication by understanding body language and natural instincts. As trainers and handlers we need to understand the terms of our relationship with our hunting dog. By doing so we can earn our bird dog's respect, without causing fear, create a true bond, and hunt with our dog in partnership. Our MissionAllowing bird dogs to reach their full potential by speaking the dog's language during training and hunting is our mission. In order for the dog to be successful, it is critical that owners be involved. Dogs are not machines and even the best-trained dog needs their handler to be a leader. It is important to be aware of your own body language. The precision and timing of every gesture and every move sends a message to your dog. We strive to help owners learn to read dog behavior and recognize the type of dog they are working, and then we help those owners create a symbiotic relationship with their dog. Training OpportunitiesWe offer a wide variety of bird dog training services to help owners have more enjoyable experiences with their upland hunting dog. We train pointing and flushing breeds during the summer (both gun dogs and field trial dogs alike) while here at our Oklahoma facilities. Each fall we gather a group of dogs together for a month of training on wild birds in the northern prairies. Every hunting season (November through February) we can be found guiding hunts and working dogs in Texas. Your dog is welcome to join us for any of these training opportunities. Huntsmith SeminarsEvery spring we travel across the US giving bird dog training seminars. These seminars are a great opportunity to gain hands on instruction on how to train your bird dog. We believe everyone, if given the opportunity, can successfully train their own bird dog. We'd love to see you at a seminar with either Ronnie or Rick! Huntsmith ApprenticeshipsDuring our training rotations, we open our facilities to dog enthusiasts and aspiring dog trainers to help them add to their knowledge of bird dogs and how to successfully train using the Silent Command System. The apprenticeships give an in depth look at our training system. Since this is such an intense program, there are limited spots available for the apprenticeships. Upland Hunting SuppliesOur online store offers you further backup through the availability of the dog training equipment that we rely on and use everyday. In our store you will find equipment such as checkcords, command leads (also known as "wonder leads"), leather collars, field first aid kits, and more. We also offer our own bird dog training videos to help you in raising a young bird dog puppy and successfully training bird dogs. Dogs for SaleOccasionally we have litters of well-bred Brittany, German Shorthair, or English Pointer puppies available, and we also often have started, broke, and finished upland bird dogs for sale. These dogs will be listed on our Dogs for Sale page. If you don't see a dog on that page that fits your upland hunting needs, please let us know and we'll do our best to help find a dog that will work for you. Guide ServiceFor over 30 years we have offered our services as guides on wild bird hunts. We can provide hunt rigs, dogs, and a lasting memory. Contact us if you are interested in booking a hunt. Our Motto!A dog is like a book, just read! |

Tuesday's recall election is the most expensive in Wisconsin history.
Candidates an independent groups are spending more than 63 million dollars some -- the -- -- a referendum on the future of public sector unions.
Republican governor Scott Walker has an edge but this race is too close to call Wisconsin's Republican lieutenant governor.
Rebecca clay -- is also facing a recall talents from Madison firefighter.
Mainland Mitchell she joins us now live from Milwaukee lieutenant governor thank you for your time today.
Well thanks for having me Shannon.
All right what do you make of this sad this is the second round of recalls that Wisconsin's undergoing it's not an inexpensive process but folks on the other side of the ticket from you say.
They're concerned about the amount of outside money that's pouring into the state race.
Well I think what the voters are concerned about right now is that fact that this is costing -- that taxpayers -- working families in this state.
Between sixteen and twenty million dollars -- put this all on the again you know the fear is if we are to go down in defeat on Tuesday.
Are we going to CN nationwide.
Arcade game of a recall hidden ball.
Plug -- sixteen million dollars and you get to exact political revenge.
On folks you disagree -- folks who would stand up to special interests just as we have here in Wisconsin.
Well now I know that you and Governor Walker actually on separate ballots -- mean it's not a teen ticket here that -- running against but I know that you were supportive but his policies in the decisions he's made.
So -- give you a chance to respond to some of the criticism from Milwaukee mayor a Tom Barrett he says that growth in -- actually lagged behind other states in the region.
And that you have the deepest education cuts in state history how to respond.
Well I'll tell you the mayor of Milwaukee is is throwing stones right now because.
He's got a desperate campaign in these final hours they -- in the throes of desperation.
And when you take a look at our job numbers.
They are a victory for all of Wisconsin.
And 87%.
Of our job creators right now today Shannon say that they are poised to create jobs in 2012 but the number one thing that's holding them back.
-- this recall election.
Job creators need certainty stability predictability.
In a word a feel comfortable.
Taking -- Dallas added a bank and putting it into their workforce hiring more -- And number one way.
You did that stability to -- predictability.
Is when you have off financially responsible budget.
Like what we have laid here in Wisconsin we have three point six billion dollar budget deficit we did a budget here.
With out raising taxes.
If you want to talk about the upper mid last.
That is remarkably responsible when you compare us to our neighbors to the south -- why -- raise taxes 46 and 67%.
Still have eighty billion dollars in unfunded pension liability while we -- a fully funded retirement system here.
And they're looking at mass public employee layoffs.
We didn't lay off public employees in Wisconsin because that doesn't help workers -- there.
What helps workers is doing a budget within your means and not raising taxes so yeah lay the foundation the ground work for economic growth.
And that's exactly what we're seeing a Wisconsin -- creating jobs together and starting on June 6 were hoping to see that employment section in the newspaper.
Grow by inches.
All right Wisconsin lieutenant governor Rebecca clay it's thank you for your time and that will be watching as it goes down to learn Tuesday.

Linux Events
The International Symposium on Linux will be held in Amsterdam on December 8 and 9, 1994. This event will take place in the RAI Congress Centre. Students get in cheap for about $50, others must pay about $75.
The event is sponsored by the ICCE, University of Groningen, and is organized by Frank B. Brokken, Karel Kubat, and Piet W. Plomp. This non-profit group is planning on lowering the entrance fees if enough attendees register.
The most current information about the symposium is available via anonymous ftp at beatrix.icce.rug.nl in the directory pub/symposium. It is refreshed daily, and contains a list of speakers, a list of interested attendees, and information about local hotels. The organizers of the symposium can be reached at email@example.com.
Some of the twenty-five speakers already scheduled include Bob Amstadt, Remy Card, Michael K. Johnson, Linus Torvalds, Theodore Ts'o, and Matt Welsh. Formal lecture topics include "Viability of Linux", Ham radio and Linux, "Typesetting, X and MS-Windows", "Linux and UnixWare; a comparison", "Linux in Biostatistic Research", "Development of Linux and the Role of the Expert Community", "Onyx", Wine, and "Programming in a Multi-Threaded Environment".
People without Internet access can reach ICCE at:
ICCE, Univ. of GroningenP.O. Box 3359700 AH GroningenThe Netherlands(+31) 50 63 36 47
The week before all the fun starts in Amsterdam, Linux Journal will be hosting the Linux Track at Open Systems World. This event, previously known as FedUNIX, is a week-long affair and will be held in Washington, D.C. from November 28 until December 2, 1994.
This is a chance to rub elbows with SCO, Solaris, Novell, and Microsoft, who will all be there hosting their own conferences, helping to bring in some of the 10,000+ expected attendees. This is a huge opportunity to present Linux to a large number of government and corporate IS managers, administrators and executives, systems integrators, hardware and software developers, industry analysts and journalists.
The Linux Track will include two days of tutorials and panel discussions presented by some well-known personalities in the Linux Community, including Bob Amstadt, Eric Youngdale, and Don Becker. Currently planned topics include commercial use and future of Linux, Wine, Linux and NASA, legal implications of using and developing tools and applications on Linux, iBCS2 compati-bility, X Windows System on Linux, a beginner's clinic, Linux and the Internet, relationship between Linux resellers and the Linux development community, Linux capabilities, and how to convince your boss/employer/ customer to use Linux.
For those of you who are not able to go to the International Symposium in Amsterdam, Open Systems World is a chance to participate in a conference on the other side of the Atlantic. And those of you who are going to the Netherlands can use the Open Systems World event as a spring-board before your journey.
Keep a watch out here in Linux Journal for more information in the November issue.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Well that these results frankly and they surprise because of 2011.
Is united was the worst of a catastrophe via for -- second.
Second for the month of uninsured market in history.
And we -- a loss of about 700 million in the first half of Austria which in fact was a relatively modest.
Lost considering the impact that that those catastrophes have this trusts off -- how it's being free of major catastrophe is.
If you look at the numbers.
We have.
Basically catastrophe losses of about 300 million pounds -- talking sterling.
Which plays three billion in the trusts off of last year but this is only half -- and remember in seasonal sons Lloyds is biggest catastrophe exposure.
Comes in the second half of the -- because of the Atlantic wind storm -- -- let's talk about a couple of other things here last time that you were -- we're talking about vision 2012.
-- you're talking about.
About the -- -- I've won it but she's cute and explain 25 this is 2012 thank you very much.
-- -- -- -- -- You're ugly you're talking about the vision for the company in the future one of the things that you told a lesson here on the show as your -- really expanded to growth economies.
Write your biggest market is the United States.
That that may surprise any of our viewers but what is next -- what economies are you looking at as far as growth opportunity.
Well basically.
The -- 40% of all businesses is United States.
Europe and around the rest -- the rest of the world with a fairly heavy English speaking bias -- let it.
And in the Chinatown and the Muslims saying not -- -- -- is that going to be India and there's got to be in Brazil -- Yes it it southeast Asia it's China it's India.
It's parts of east and Europe like Turkey and Poland and its and its South America clearly Brazil Mexico or Columbia.
Okay what are the things I think Arizona's so I sing about -- -- -- -- -- -- everything from oil rigs are bridges a celebrity body parts and needed everything in between.
But it's gotta be it's gotta be really difficult Sunday's that's actually value the rest -- your brokers and your underwriters are valuing them at what is the most risky thing that they're looking at right now the make some really nervous when -- on the paper.
Well of the good that the the area which is encompasses the -- -- risk in terms of size would be.
The sort of risk we and full.
Which is consequent upon floods wind all earthquake in other words geographic and geological issues.
Climactic issues.
And that the quote quality all of the underwriting skills the modeling.
And so on that's done in the Lloyd's market is second to none.
And I believe that we have the finest collection of underwriting skills in the world him right here in London.
Public -- you certainly have -- out of the numbers John it's always gonna say congratulations on a very positive first -- for you as the role of chairman.

text: Sour mash has, based on my reading of these materials, changed its sense over time, or perhaps always had different meanings. Today, the use of backset in a subsequent mash (fermenter sometimes too) is a hallmark of sour mashing. But one of the 1800's sources I mentioned states that a sweet mash can use backset in this way... This is because sour mash in that account meant essentially dipping back, using the yeast of the last brew to make the next one. That is in a sense the same yeast as when you maintain a culture in a jug but I think too there are important differences due e.g., to much less control on sanitation and temperature. I'll have to look back but if I am not mistaken, this older sense of sour mashing didn't even require the use of backset, but more just the yeast from the former brew. This is one of the methods in that letter from the early 1800's Mike posted which to me sounds like a certain analogy to sourdough bread (but not in the taste aspect). As I now recall, the other method in the letter was called sweet mash and relied simply on use of backset in the next mashing and after that wild yeast did the ferment. I think it is possible that certain local environments favoured the latter process, as occurs with lambic beer in a certain part of Belgium, and this may have been so in Owensboro in the early 1800's. That account based on an interview with Monarch, while there might be an element of puffery in it, can't be made up IMO, it is too specific.

Like many couples out there, I'm part of a blended family. You see, my life isn't just about law. I'm living in a committed, long term relationship with my life partner. She has 2 daughters from a previous marriage and I have a daughter. So, we live as a blended family.
Now, despite the interesting title to this blog, her children DO NOT drive me crazy. Promise. I just found it to be a catchy title for this blog and an appropriate way to introduce the topics to be discussed in it.
Living in a blended family is one of the reasons that I'm so interested in focusing on estate planning for couples in second marriages and blended families because I know first hand some of the issues, and stresses, that they face everyday. But, let's take a break from my regular blogging about legal topics and consider some of those challenges.
If you live, or lived in, a blended family, then you know it has some very unique challenges - particularly when you're dealing with the other partner's children. Let's face it, that makes sense because couples usually bring different parenting styles into the new relationship. There are financial issues such as child support and alimony obligations that can create stress and even resentment in some cases. Developing a close relationship with the other partner's children may also be difficult since they are often feeling divided loyalties between the biological parent and the step-parent.
I read a most interesting article from the University of Arkansas Research & Extension service that offered some tips on dealing with these challenges that we blended family parents face. For example, the author suggests to be realistic when trying to form a relationship with the other partner's children. Some experts estimate that it can take up to seven years for a child to adjust to a step parent, especially if the child feels strong loyalty to the natural parent. So, instead of trying to be a parent to the child, develop a style that is akin to a kindly uncle or aunt - someone who can listen and provide guidance when sought, but not someone who is a primary disciplinarian.
Another suggestion from the U of A, be patient. When families blend, there are naturally many things that need to change and many adjustments to be made. Both partners need to resist that temptation to dive in and fix everything all at once. Many adults I know are resistant to change. Children are no different. So, with stepchildren, change needs to come in small steps and usually needs to be initiated and introduced by the natural parent. Think long-term goals when it comes to change.
The next suggestion I happen to love a lot: Use steady doses of empathy and understanding. Being empathetic and understanding can be hard, though, especially when you feel resistance from a stepchild or feel that they are being unfair or unreceptive to your attempts at being a family. Yet showing empathy can be one of the most healing things in a blended family relationship. I like to think that when one person tries to meet the other 'half-way,' then it's easier for both to begin to form a rewarding relationship.
There are certainly many more tips for dealing with the challenges that we all face in blended families. It's not easy, though. I know that first hand. And, I'm not a family therapist, but the advice I might give to other parents trying to raise children in a blended family is to always, always try to remember the reasons you came together as a couple - love for one another. As frustrating as it may be to deal with the other partner's kids, those kids are products of that person you love.
Attorney Andrew Garcia brings more than 20 years of experience to the SouthCoast, developing comprehensive estate plans for traditional families, couples in second marriages, blended families, domestic partners and cohabiting couples. He's also practiced class action and consumer law in both state and federal district courts across the country and has appeared as a consumer advocate. He's appeared on NBC's "Today Show" and FOX Network's "Fox & Friends" morning program. Andrew's popular audio cd seminar, "Choosing a Guardian for Your Minor Children" has helped local families make better decisions about choosing a guardian for their kids. As an adjunct professor at his alma mater, Suffolk University School of Law in Boston, he helps prepare students to run their own law practices after they've graduated from law school.
A life-long resident of the SouthCoast, Andrew currently lives in East Freetown with his loving partner, Nancy, and their own blended family made up of three kids, a neighborhood "lab" named Casey, and a pet rabbit he likes to call "Clooney".

Naysayers calling BlackBerry 10 a "1.0 operating system"
I've noticed a few naysayers on various forums and stories saying "BlackBerry 10 will fail because it's a 1.0 operating system". They likely aren't BlackBerry users, I would guess. :-)
I look at this Operating System as "PlayBook 3.0". RIM has already released 7 or so predecessors to it out to 2 million "beta testers" of a little science project called the PlayBook. While this OS is a more defined version of BlackBerry Tablet OS, it's not entirely 'new' as some suggest.
Amazing that people don't get that concept.Thanked by:Bold_until_Hybrid_Comes (12-05-2012)
Yea but both of those companies were brand new to the world of mobile devices so they had to get use to the market where as Rim has a lot of experience in mobile and as you said the Playbook was their first try with this operating system.
All systems are unproven in their new avatar, be it iOS, Android and even Windows. And calling BB10 as 1.0 is technically not too off, as it's the first version of RIM's mobile computing platform. Calling it a failure is being very subjective. RIM could sell millions of those device and not return to profit quickly. It could outsell Lumia 920 and people may still call it a failure as it did not meet the sales figures for say iPhone or the Galaxy S3. I would say it will be a success if on it's current iteration it brings RIM back to profit within a year of launch.
Guess people need to set a benchmark of what success for BB10 means.Children of tomorrow live in the tears that fall today
Will the sunrise of tomorrow bring in peace in any way?
Must the world live in the shadow of atomic fear?
Can they win the fight for peace or will they disappear?
-- Black Sabbath: Children of the Grave - 12-03-2012, 09:42 PM #7
Looks like there was a little slip today because BB10 with be running on QNX8 and probably going to announce that on January 30 What's new in QNX Neutrino 8.0.0 - Native SDK for BlackBerry 10 Beta
Well "technically" it will be a 1.0 OS.
People should take notice though that the S4 is better than the processor in either dev alpha and yet it is still very smooth even on old processors....and it might be running an upgraded version of the kernal. RIM could very well have many surprises come January 30thQNX and LTE, hand me a pen and let's do this.

I am not really bothered by it.

RubberChicken76 (12-05-2012)
It would be more accurate to call BB10 a version 3.0 operating system, really, by any classic measure of such things. PlayBook had 1.0 and then 2.0. BB10 simply follows along in that series.
The real point that people should worry about is simply that any "dot-O" version of anything (assuming no "cheating" with version numbering) is riskier than the "dot-one" versions. If RIM slips on testing and quality control, then it will hurt, either a bit or a lot, and they'll need a BB10.1 (or whatever they'll call it) to patch things up.Battery Guru for BB10 tracks voltage, power, battery health. (Also on the PlayBook.) White Noise helps you sleep or concentrate.

I agree to an extent. This OS isn't a stop gap like WP7 was....and like u said RIM had Tablet OS 1 and 2 to test on...but at the same time many features in BB10 we haven't even seen yet alone even used on a PlayBook. That's a lot that can go wrong. Even if it was a PlayBook Tablet OS 3, this would be a big revamp. The UI is different. I agree with Peter9477 that they will have to get it right on quality control.
That being said, just because it is a 1.0 operating system means nothing. Look what Apple did on its first try...might not have been selling back then like it does now but it laid the groundwork and caught everyone's attention. The way I see it, if RIM had time to get down to deciding which 106 words couldn't be used as passwords, then I'm sure they have plenty in store for this "1.0" OS because that is really getting down to tiny details IMO lolQNX and LTE, hand me a pen and let's do this.

1.0? hmmm. That's OK. if 1.0 just what I already felt. Better for me to pick that 1.0 than 4.2 or 6. 1.0 feels so much better. hmmm, I wonder, what will be truly 10?

The profits come from Samsung making the CPU, making the LCD panel, making the memory... Nothing to do with the actual android phone itself. It is just weak public disclosure laws in South Korea that allow Samsung to make all these outrageous claims about how many units they sold and how much profits they made. You look at the Apple-Samsung lawsuits and Samsung had to admit that they sold much much much less tablets than the millions of units that they claimed to have sold.

Chincheros, which means town of the rainbows, is a beautiful little village located in the center of the Sacred Valley halfway between Cusco and Machu Picchu. Like many of the villages in the valley, Chincheros still holds onto its pre-Hispanic days of traditional clothing and centuries-old houses. Perched high in the Peruvian Andes, Chincheros was an early Inca center during which textiles were woven and offered to mark special occasions, from peace treaties and sacrifices to marriage ceremonies and puberty rites.
For the Chincheros, weaving is a way of life, as important for preserving ancient traditions as it is for earning a livelihood. Chincheros produce extraordinary textiles, woven with ancestral tools with Incan designs and natural colors. Children grow up playing with their mother's spindle and loom. By age six or seven, most children learn to weave by watching their elders. They begin by weaving jakimas, or narrow ribbons, before moving on to more complicated pieces. From shearing, spinning, and dying the wool, to weaving the brightly patterned cloths, Chincheros textiles are created entirely by hand.
At weekly markets, Chincheros villagers trade their handcrafted weavings for fruits and vegetables that are difficult to grow at Chincheros's high elevation of more than 12,000 feet (3,658 meters). With each exchange, weavers earn a living, carry on their ancient art, and share a piece of Chincheros's culture with the world. In different cultures wealth can be defined by things other than money. In the village of Chincheros, wealth is tied to weaving textiles using traditional Inca techniques.

Woman dies after crashing into SUV; car caught fireJanuary 29,2013
JAMAICA — Authorities say a car skidded across a snow-covered southern Vermont road and crashed into a large SUV before catching on fire, killing a woman.
State police say the collision happened Monday afternoon in the town of Jamaica.
A preliminary investigation shows that a car was traveling southbound on Route 30 when the female driver lost control and the vehicle skidded across the road. It crashed into a northbound SUV driven by 48-year-old Gavin Scotti, of Greenwich, Conn.

Fenixp: Well... That's why I'm talking in such a manner that a kid that doesn't know anything about sex will never understand it. I don't know about you, thou, but me and all my friends (of age about 11) very well knew about what sex is and how it works.
Even if there was much confusion about sex at that age we were doing sex ed so yeah, that would have put paid to that in it's own politically correct kind of way. But what I remember of being 11... there wasn't really all that much confusion on the subject. But all the same, this isn't the right place for this. It isn't about being prudish, but rather, conscientious.
