This release has the below content - Kernel and Drivers tested with OMAP4 ES2.2 EMU Blaze platform and verified with Gingerbread UI - A9 source code for accelerating Video
The release has been verified with OMAP4 SGX hardware Graphics Accelerator libraries and accelerated Video codecs. Please contact TI customer representative to gain access TI proprietary packages or the SGX hardware Graphics Accelerator libraries and required binaries are now included within the mydroid repository at mydroid/device/ti/proprietary-open/graphics/omap4. These libraries and binaries will need to be copied to mydroid/out/target/product/blaze when building for the blaze board. Use the command below:
cp -ax mydroid/device/ti/proprietary-open/graphics/omap4/* mydroid/out/target/product/blaze
[edit] Build Instructions
[edit] Setting up build environment
From your work directory (where your 27.12.1-P2 folder resides):
export YOUR_PATH=`pwd` export PATH=$PATH:<toolchain_parent_dir>/arm-2010q1/bin export MYDROID=${YOUR_PATH}/27.12.1-P2/mydroid mkdir $MYDROID/logs export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- export PATH=${YOUR_PATH}/u-boot/tools:${PATH}
[edit] Building U-BOOT
cd ${YOUR_PATH}/u-boot make distclean make ARCH=arm omap4430sdp_config make 2>&1 |tee $MYDROID/logs/u-boot_make.out
[edit] Building X-LOADER
cd ${YOUR_PATH}/x-loader make distclean make ARCH=arm omap4430sdp_config make ift 2>&1 |tee $MYDROID/logs/x-loader_make.out ### For fastboot.sh flashing script purpouse rename MLO: #### mv MLO MLO_es2.2_gp
Signing X-LOADER for EMU devices
The tool for signing x-loader is provided on TI's package. Please contact TI customer representative to get access to this tool.
cd ${YOUR_PATH}/mshield-dk cp -f ${YOUR_PATH}/x-loader/x-load.bin . ./generate_MLO ES2.x x-load.bin ES2.x parameter changes according the SOM HS vresion you have, if you have ES HS 2.2 then use ES2.2 ### For fastboot.sh flashing script purpose rename MLO: #### mv MLO MLO_es2.2_emu or mv MLO MLO_es2.1_emu
[edit] Building Kernel
To create kernel uImage you need to add "mkimage" directory path to your "PATH" environment variable:
cd ${YOUR_PATH}/kernel/android-2.6.35 make ARCH=arm distclean make ARCH=arm android_4430_defconfig make ARCH=arm uImage 2>&1 |tee $MYDROID/logs/kernel_make.out
[edit] Building Kernel modules
cd ${YOUR_PATH}/kernel/android-2.6.35 make ARCH=arm modules 2>&1 |tee $MYDROID/logs/kernel_modules.out
[edit] Building WLAN driver
cd $MYDROID/hardware/ti/wlan/wl1283/platforms/os/linux export KERNEL_DIR=${YOUR_PATH}/kernel/android-2.6.35 make ARCH=arm TNETW=1283
[edit] Building SoftAP/HotSpot driver
cd $MYDROID/hardware/ti/wlan/wl1283_softAP/platforms/os/linux export KERNEL_DIR=${YOUR_PATH}/kernel/android-2.6.35 make ARCH=arm TNETW=1283
[edit] Building Android Filesystem (AFS) with TI Codecs enabled
on step below use the number of cores you have available; i.e. -j4 or -j12:
cd $MYDROID cp -Rfp device/ti/blaze/buildspec.mk.default buildspec.mk make clean ;#(required for rebuild only) make -j4 2>&1 |tee $MYDROID/logs/android_make.out
[edit] Building AFS with Android Codecs
This release was not verified with Android codecs. Camera based applications need TI proprietary drivers. Please contact TI customer representative to get access to proprietary sources
[edit] Preparing Android binaries
The following binaries are required by the Blaze® board. This step will prepare a directory, called myfs, containing all necessary Android files that you must include within your SD card. (The fm_v4l2 driver has been added in this release and the st_drv module previously built and copied is now no longer required as a .ko modele as it is built into the kernel.)
cd $YOUR_PATH mkdir myfs cd myfs cp -Rfp ${YOUR_PATH}/kernel/android-2.6.35/drivers/staging/ti-st/*.ko $MYDROID/out/target/product/blaze/root cp -Rfp ${YOUR_PATH}/kernel/android-2.6.35/drivers/bluetooth/btwilink.ko $MYDROID/out/target/product/blaze/root cp -Rfp ${YOUR_PATH}/kernel/android-2.6.35/drivers/media/radio/wl128x/fm_v4l2_drv.ko $MYDROID/out/target/product/blaze/root cp -Rfp $MYDROID/hardware/ti/wlan/wl1283/platforms/os/linux/tiwlan_drv.ko $MYDROID/out/target/product/blaze/system/etc/wifi/ cp -Rfp $MYDROID/hardware/ti/wlan/wl1283_softAP/platforms/os/linux/tiap_drv.ko $MYDROID/out/target/product/blaze/system/etc/wifi/softap/ cp -ax $MYDROID/device/ti/proprietary-open/graphics/omap4/* $MYDROID/out/target/product/blaze (To be run if you haven't build the SGX DDK) cp -Rfp $MYDROID/out/target/product/blaze/root/* . cp -Rfp $MYDROID/out/target/product/blaze/system/ . cp -Rfp $MYDROID/out/target/product/blaze/data/ .
Changing default display resolution on Android
Default LCD density is now set to 240 (was 160 previously by default). If you want to come back to the previous setting to make Android UI look smaller (smaller icons, etc...), comment the following line in system/build.prop
It is recommended to remove the "critical" setting when the syslink_daemon for ducati is booting. To do this you will need to edit init.omap4430.rc for eMMC boot or mmc-init.omap4430.rc for SD boot as indicated:
#Load IVA firmware service baseimage /system/bin/syslink_daemon.out -f /data/base_image_sys_m3.xem3 /data/base_image_app_m3.xem3 critical (Remove this line) user media group media So it will be: #Load IVA firmware service baseimage /system/bin/syslink_daemon.out -f /data/base_image_sys_m3.xem3 /data/base_image_app_m3.xem3 user media group media
[edit] Preparing eMMC images
cd $YOUR_PATH mkdir omap4_emmc_files cp -f $MYDROID/out/host/linux-x86/bin/fastboot omap4_emmc_files cp -f $MYDROID/out/host/linux-x86/bin/mkbootimg omap4_emmc_files if [ -e ${YOUR_PATH}/27.12.1-P2/u-boot/u-boot.bin ] ; then cp -f ${YOUR_PATH}/27.12.1-P2/u-boot/u-boot.bin omap4_emmc_files cp -f ${YOUR_PATH}/27.12.1-P2/x-loader/MLO_es2.2_gp omap4_emmc_files cp -f ${YOUR_PATH}/27.12.1-P2/kernel/android-2.6.35/arch/arm/boot/zImage omap4_emmc_files else cp -f ${YOUR_PATH}/u-boot/u-boot.bin omap4_emmc_files cp -f ${YOUR_PATH}/x-loader/MLO_es2.2_gp omap4_emmc_files cp -f ${YOUR_PATH}/kernel/android-2.6.35/arch/arm/boot/zImage omap4_emmc_files fi cp -f <your_signing_path>/MLO_es2.2_emu omap4_emmc_files
Creating img files:
cd ${MYDROID} find out/target/product/blaze -name *.img -exec rm -f {} \; make cp -f ${MYDROID}/out/target/product/blaze/*.img $YOUR_PATH/omap4_emmc_files
This build should not take too much time and will re-generate a new *.img files with the modified init.rc file in it (If you built and installed GFX after compiling AFS, system.img and data.img will also be updated with the GFX files).
Now from this new directory we will create the eMMC images which will be flashed using fastboot protocol (described later). First create boot.img image using kernel image we copied previously:
cd $YOUR_PATH/omap4_emmc_files ./mkbootimg --kernel zImage --ramdisk ramdisk.img --base 0x80000000 --cmdline "console=ttyO2,115200n8 rootdelay=2 mem=456M@0x80000000 mem=512M@0xA0000000 init=/init vram=10M omapfb.vram=0:4M androidboot.console=ttyO2" --board omap4 -o boot.img Please note: To edit BootArgs you need to create again boot.img with the desired bootargs in --cmdline <"bootargs">
Now create cache partition:
cd $YOUR_PATH/omap4_emmc_files dd if=/dev/zero of=./cache.img bs=1048510 count=128 mkfs.ext4 -F cache.img -L cache
And finally the environment file with the bootargs and bootcmd information (see bootargs section)
[edit] Booting Kernel and Android File System from SD card
Formatting SD Card
You will need to format your SD for the Linux file system. Connect your SD memory card reader with memory card inserted to a USB port on your Linux Ubuntu PC. You must login as Super User.
$ su $ fdisk -l
Match the device to the size of your memory card. Look for the /dev/*** device which matches the memory card in the card reader. Use the matching device's letter prefix in the next command. For example if the device for memory card reader card example was: /dev/sdb1, then use only /dev/sdb in the fdisk command.
Take note of the size in bytes of your SD Card. You will need this to calculate the number of cylinders in a future step.
$ fdisk /dev/sdb (replace sdb with the letter prefix for your device) (Delete all partitions on the card if they exist) Command (m for help): d Partition number (1-4): 1 Command (m for help): d Selected partition 2 Command (m for help): x (Change the number of heads, sectors and cylinders on the device) Expert command (m for help): h Number of heads (1-256, default 255): 255 Expert command (m for help): s Number of sectors (1-63, default 63): 63 Expert command (m for help): c Number of cylinders (1-1048576, default 248): <You must calculate the number of cylinders for your SD card. To do this, use the following formula: new_cylinders = (Size in bytes from your fdisk –l command)/8225280 Drop any fractional values and enter the whole number in this command. Use this number all the steps that refer to the number of cylinders> (Now return to the main menu) Expert command (m for help): r (Create the first partition) Command (m for help): n Command action e extended p primary partition (1-4) p Partition number (1-4): 1 First cylinder (1-248, default 1): 1 Last cylinder or +size or +sizeM or +sizeK (1-248, default 248): +64M If you plan to use this SD card partition for storing media your can use +1024M assuming a 2+ GB SD card. (Create the second partition) Command (m for help): n Command action e extended p primary partition (1-4) p Partition number (1-4): 2 First cylinder (10-248, default 10): 10 Last cylinder or +size or +sizeM or +sizeK (124-248, default 248): <use the cylinder value you calculated earlier> (Change the first partition to at FAT32 partition) Command (m for help): t Partition number (1-4): 1 Hex code (type L to list codes): c Changed system type of partition 1 to c (W95 FAT32 (LBA)) (Toggle the bootable flag for partition 1) Command (m for help): a Partition number (1-4): 1 (Print the partition table to confirm your settings) Command (m for help): p (Sample Output – your output may differ depending on your SD card's size and brand) Disk /dev/sdb: 2041 MB, 2041577472 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 248 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00000000 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 1 9 72261 c W95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/sdb2 10 248 1919767+ 83 Linux (Write your changes to the SD Card) Command (m for help): w (You will see the following output) The partition table has been altered! Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table. WARNING: If you have created or modified any DOS 6.x partitions, please see the fdisk manual page for additional information. Syncing disks. Format your partitions typing the following commands (logged as root@ubuntu-box): $ mkfs.vfat -F 32 -n boot /dev/<your device's first partition's name – see the print output from the previous step> $ mkfs.ext3 -L android_fs /dev/<your device's second partition's name – see the print output from the previous step> There is a shell script that all calculations above automatically; to get it do: $ wget http://cgit.openembedded.org/cgit.cgi/openembedded/plain/contrib/angstrom/omap3-mkcard.sh Add execution permission: $ chmod +x omap3-mkcard.sh And you are ready to use it by just typing: $sudo ./omap3-mkcard.sh <your_device (e.g. /dev/sdb)>
Copying Binaries onto SD Card
Now type the following to mount your SD Card on your Linux box (logged as root@ubuntu-box):
$ mkdir /tmp/mmc1 $ mkdir /tmp/mmc2 $ mount /dev/<your device's first partition's name> /tmp/mmc1 $ mount /dev/<your device's second partition's name> /tmp/mmc2
Load the appropriate software to the SD Card (logged as root@ubuntu-box):
$ cp $YOUR_PATH/x-loader/MLO /tmp/mmc1 (if you are using EMU or HS device, plese copy signed MLO instead) $ cp $YOUR_PATH/u-boot/u-boot.bin /tmp/mmc1 $ cp ${YOUR_PATH}/27.12.1-P2/kernel/android-2.6.35/arch/arm/boot/uImage /tmp/mmc1 $ cp -Rfp $YOUR_PATH/27.12.1-P2/myfs/* /tmp/mmc2 $ chmod –R 777 /tmp/mmc2/* $ umount /tmp/mmc1 $ umount /tmp/mmc2
SD boot is not offically supported hence SD boot was not validated
Insert your SD card (with u-boot, x-loader and uImage loaded in FAT partition and ) into Blaze SD/MMC card slot, then plug the Blaze mini USB port to your PC and open a serial terminal (baudrate:115200, no parity, 8 bits). Power your board up and in your terminal window you should be able to see the 'New' u-boot prompt:
In your serial terminal define the bootargs and boot as mentioned in the bootarg section.

Right after this your Blaze should start booting using the kernel image and loading the Android filesystem from your SD
[edit] Booting Kernel and Android File System from eMMC
Formatting eMMC
If your are going to use eMMC for the first time, you need to create the appropriate partition table and create a filesystem (format) for each partition. For this you need to load u-boot from your SD card; for this you need to change your SYS_BOOT configuration (S2-[1:3] OFF, ON, OFF). Use the u-boot.bin and the x-loader you built for this release; copy them to your "boot" partition of your SD card, turn your Blaze on and press any key on your serial terminal to stop the auto-boot process.
Now type from you serial terminal (on the u-boot prompt) 'fastboot' and board should be waiting for any fastboot command. You should see something like this: [Please note this is an older snapshot (so rev numbers you see might be different as compared to below)]
-- OMAP 4 PPA release 1.0.5 -- Reset reason = 00030181 Texas Instruments X-Loader 1.41 (Feb 25 2011 - 22:30:29) Starting OS Bootloader from EMMC ...

Now connect the Blaze micro USB port to your Linux box and go to where the eMMC files are. Previous partitions created will be deleted and eMMC will be flashed with new u-boot and MLO.
Make sure the commands are issued as super user. You can use ./fastboot.sh which is located at $MYDROID/device/ti/blaze/boot. This is for ES2.2 devices.
cd $YOUR_PATH/omap4_emmc_files cp -f $MYDROID/device/ti/blaze/boot/fastboot.sh . sed -i 's/${FASTBOOT-".\/..\/..\/..\/..\/out\/host\/linux-x86\/bin\/fastboot"}/.\/fastboot/g' fastboot.sh sed -i 's/${PRODUCT_OUT-".\/"}/./g' fastboot.sh sed -i 's/.boot\/$MLO/\/$MLO/g' fastboot.sh sed -i 's/.boot\/u-boot.bin/\/u-boot.bin/g' fastboot.sh ./fastboot.sh --emu for gp run: ./fastboot.sh --gp if you are flashing ES2.1, before executing the script run sed -i 's/MLO_es2.2_emu/MLO_es2.1_emu/g' fastboot.sh
For your information the script does the following:
cd $YOUR_PATH/omap4_emmc_files ./fastboot flash xloader ./MLO ./fastboot flash bootloader ./u-boot.bin ./fastboot reboot-bootloader sleep 5 ./fastboot oem format ./fastboot flash boot ./boot.img ./fastboot flash system ./system.img ./fastboot flash userdata ./userdata.img ./fastboot flash cache ./cache.img
If you had SD card S2 Dip swtich cnfiguration, you can change it now to eMMC conf:
SYS_BOOT configuration to boot from eMMC (S2-[1:3] ON, ON, ON)
Power your board up and in your terminal window you should be able to see the auto-boot process start in 3 seconds:

To continue booting just type 'boot' and the boot process will start.
[edit] Bootargs
L27.12.1-P2 SD card booting is not offically supported, init.rc and init.omap4430.rc need to be modified as follows:
on post-fs
# once everything is setup, no need to modify / mount rootfs rootfs / rw remount
on fs
#mount ext4 /dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/by-name/system /system wait ro #mount ext4 /dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/by-name/userdata /data wait noatime nosuid nodev #mount ext4 /dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/by-name/cache /cache wait noatime nosuid nodev
The sd card bootargs are present in device/ti/blaze/sd_card_env.txt file
eMMC bootargs given in env.txt
The eMMC bootargs are present in device/ti/blaze/env.txt file
Right after this your Blaze should start booting kernel image and loading the Android filesystem both from Blaze eMMC
In order to issue commands, it is necessary to type "su -" on the console.

Verona have confirmed that they have completed a season-long loan deal with River Plate for Ezequiel Cirigliano.
The highly-rated 21-year-old, who has represented Argentina at both Under-17 and Under-20 level, will join the Serie A side with the potential for them to make the signing permanent at the end of the season.
Cirigliano, who was born in Buenos Aires, began his career with River Plate and made his senior debut in 2010.
The young midfielder had declared a desire to move to Spain at the end of June, but despite reported interest from a variety of Premier League sides including Manchester City and Arsenal, opted for Verona.
His decision could be down to his wish to play regularly - something that may have been beyond his reach at the Etihad Stadium or Emirates Stadium.
The Argentine will be unveiled by Verona on Thursday.

Benjamin Moore Historic Colors: Verdigris & Grey
I mentioned Verdigris a few weeks ago as a color prized by the nobility during the Federal period, and then these pictures flew over the transom — shades of the same thing, though updated for the 21st century.
Make no mistake about it — I had nothing to do with this project, though it dovetails quite well with my interests on several points, especially the dark greys. But I know the client and I wanted to scoop this one by Kishani Perera for myself before somebody else did!
As I mentioned in my other piece, deep colors such as Verdigris and Prussian Blue were valued by the upper classes as a means of displaying their wealth — those lapis flakes didn't grow on trees, you know. The house shown here is in sunny Los Angeles. I work and write in New York, and sometimes wonder how my dictums disseminate across the land. Here, I'm struck not only by the fact that people in L.A. are into the same thing I am — underwater darks and deep neutrals — but that these are largely historic colors being used. That's right — musty old, dusty Historic colors from Benjamin Moore, and they look so contemporary.
Chrome Green becomes a robust yet still night-friendly back drop for a bedroom, and throughout the rest of the house, grey — color of the decade — compliments a style of architecture usually done in desert rose. I dare say that's a David Hicks wallpaper. Skoal and good work to all involved.

I wish the photos weren't so horribly downsampled, and were in correct the order, very frustrating because I love these colors so much!
Verdigris? Is that the name of the green color?
some of these are interesting but that first one looks like 80s-90s hunter green. ick.
The pictures are more retouched than janice dickinson. I'm sure the deepness of the colors must be awesome, but the contrast and saturation of these pics are weird....
I also can't get enough of Kishani Perera's masterful color choices. She sent me a few before photos that make the afters even better.
I love the modern interpretation of verdigris, and I think the blog author completely misses making the point. There are two distinct colors above, and there are two distinct shades that are both called verdigris.
On the one hand, it's my favorite decorating neutral. (In Spanish it literally is "green-grey", but translates as "grey-green"). However, this is not the actual etymology. The word dates to middle english and comes from the french word that translates as "the green of Greece."
From wikipedia:
"Since it was used as a pigment in paintings and other art objects (as green color), it was required by artists in Greece. It was originally made by hanging copper plates over hot vinegar in a sealed pot until a green crust formed on the copper. Another method of obtaining verdigris pigment, used in the Middle Ages, was to attach copper strips to a wooden block with acetic acid, then bury the sealed block in dung. A few weeks later the pot was dug up and the verdigris scraped off. One method used in the early nineteenth century had to do with reacting copper sulfate solution with solutions of lead, barium, or calcium acetate. Their sulfates are insoluble, forming precipitates and leaving the copper acetate in solution."
Both colors above approximate verdigris to my eye, but niether really hit it.
Restoration hardware refers the shade of soft, neutral, and faded grey-green that I like as "Eucalyptus." Room & Board call it "Spa."
I don't think I've seen the vibrant, "true" verdigris ever captured in paint because it's more like an effect of several colors rather than a single color.
If you're going to do a blog post on the history of Verdegris, at least provide the the facts.
''Verdigris is the common name for the green coating or patina formed when copper, brass or bronze is weathered and exposed to air or seawater over a period of time. It is usually a basic copper carbonate, but near the sea will be a basic copper chloride."
In my mind, true verdigris is more vivid, but is still a tempered green color, with nuances of grey and teal. It it truly the color of the Greek coast, Tahitian islets surrounded by sea, of an uncommonly rich and beautiful color that shows up in birds, butterflies, lizards, rocks.

EDGE and HTML5
It's a web standards thing.
We're glad you're reading this page: it means you've noticed the new design of our network and are curious about it. EDGE is (arguably) the most technologically-hip media company for the gay and lesbian community, and we're always excited to talk about our efforts to stay in step with the rapid pace of new developments on the web and mobile devices.
The site you're viewing right now has been entirely coded in HTML5, Cascading Style Sheets 3 (CSS3) and Javascript. It launched in June 2010 after three months of intensive research and development by our coding team, and was one of the web's first entirely HTML5 websites. Being on the bleeding "edge" isn't always easy, but it has advantages.
First, you'll notice our network pages load much faster now; that's because we've completely separated the "semantics" of our site from its design: one of the overarching goals of these emerging new web standards. Later this year, you'll also enjoy a newly-redeveloped mobile EDGE, which will restructure the exact same code from our web network for use on your phones, tablets, and other reading devices - but even now, you'll find that surfing the EDGE network requires far less battery life than it did previously.
Second, we've finally made a concerted effort to make EDGE accessible to those blind and hearing-impaired members of our community. New tags, concise layout, and support for alternative browsing software and devices were paramount concerns in our redesign phase.
Third, we're able to deliver new features such as animations and dynamic HTML via web standards for the first time. When you see interactivity on our HTML5 website, you're not experiencing a plug-in, or a Flash movie. You're experiencing some of the latest features available to web designers thanks to CSS3. Our photo albums, hero positions, and other areas yet to be launched take full advantage of new technologies to deliver a better experience for our readers: more content, less page refreshing, happier community.
And finally, we've optimized downloads by limiting our code and graphics to necessary components only. You won't notice this in our design, thanks to a new, hip, smarter interface for our media properties. But we've combed through our front-end design with X-ray vision, ensuring quick access, clear discoverability of user interface, and attractively presented editorial. Our navigation has moved to the top of the page and we've redeveloped just about every other element of our network in a number of ways - but ideally, you shouldn't "feel" as if the new interface is complicated. We've worked to make it feel easy and breezy (just for you Covergirls).
So what are the drawbacks to using all this hip new technology? Really, there's only one: it requires a modern web browser or mobile device to display our network with all its newest features. We've worked very hard to ensure that our content displays well in *all* browsers - but if you want to experience EDGE as we've designed it to look, you'll want to be using the latest version of your preferred software. We've tested our new network on Internet Explorer, Safari, Chrome and Firefox, among others, on both Mac and PC platforms. Most users have reported issues with Internet Explorer 7 or prior - these issues are completely corrected by upgrading to Internet Explorer 8, which is freely available from the homepage of the Microsoft website.
Adobe Flash
We've also removed virtually all Flash from our network. Flash is a proprietary technology that does not comply with the open standards model of the web; as such, its future is questionable at best. Those web developers among our audiences will notice that some of our content - that coming from third parties - is still delivered in flash format. We're working with those partners to increase compliance with HTML5 as soon as they can. In the interim, some of you (particularly those on Apple devices) will be unable to view this content.
Tell us what you think!
We're always interested in hearing from our readers and community; if you have comments about our new design, or are encountering issues navigating or accessing content on our network, please drop us a line and let us know. We take comments and criticism quite seriously, and make every effort to respond to every email we receive. We'd like to thank those of you who have already sent in wonderful comments about our work, and we'd like to thank all of our readers for visiting our network. You are the reason we are here.

The Smurf's Village review
Posted by Patrick Lambert Categories: Games, iPad Apps, Reviews, Free Apps
This week Capcom, the popular publisher behind Street Fighter IV and Resident Evil 4, has released their latest title: The Smurf's Village. This title follows the tried and true model of Farmville and the countless other similar games out there. It's a free game, where the player has to build his or her town and maintain it. You build farms and plant various food types, build houses, and other various buildings. Then you have to harvest your crops, and level up as you get coins and experience. You can also use real life money to speed things up, as usual.

My Kingdom for iPhone review
Posted by Patrick Lambert Categories: Games, Reviews, Free Apps
Chillingo, the publisher of Angry Birds and Cut the Rope, recently released My Kingdom. This MMORPG features a vast fantasy world where players can build settlements, trade, socialize, and compete. This is similar to most other games of this type out there. The innovative part however is that this world is based on your current location in the real world. For example, if you're in New York, the part of the virtual world you see around you will correspond to your physical location.
WackyLands Boss review
Posted by Patrick Lambert Categories: Games, Reviews, Electronic Arts, $0.99
Last week Chillingo, the publisher behind many popular iPhone games that was recently acquired by Electronic Arts, released yet another game for $0.99 on the App Store. The setting behind WackyLands Boss is quite unusual. Instead of playing a hero, or controlling an army, going after a boss monster, you are the boss. You get to create, customize and equip your own boss, and then go after hordes of heroes.

Definitely a fun time though, and it has Game Center support built-in as well. All that for just $0.99. We recommend it.

Street Fighter IV hits iPhone and iPod touch in March!
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Games
Okay, Capcom, you've definitely got our attention with the announcement that Street Fighter IV will be coming to the iPhone and iPod touch sometime next month. In fact, we are sure that iPhone gamers in general are pretty stoked to see the amount of time that Capcom put into this game in order to make it feel as close to the console versions as possible on a small touchscreen device. Truth be told, all the character models, stage backgrounds, super combos, hyper combos, and all the rest are here in full (well, if by full we mean they are all there, just scaled down.) Currently, we have both Ryu and Ken confirmed, and while Capcom isn't giving too many more hints for now, they have said that the roster will feature a mix of older characters and the newer Street Fighter IV characters.
Control is done with an on-screen joystick on the left, and four attack buttons (two punch, two kick) on the right. You also get local multiplayer over Bluetooth, which is awesome. We will definitely be keeping our eyes on this one, and will get more information to you as soon as we have it!

European Alzheimer's Disease Consortium
Our partners
The EADC is a network of European centres of excellence working in the field of Alzheimer's disease. It provides a setting in which to increase the basic scientific understanding of and to develop ways to prevent, slow or ameliorate the primary and secondary symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. This is done by facilitating large Europe wide research studies.
Alzheimer Europe works closely together with EADC. Within the framework of the various EADC projects, the role of Alzheimer Europe is to represent the interests of people with dementia, their families and their carers.
Main activities
- Biannual meeting of steering committee and Special Interest Groups
- Update on EADC activities
- Decide future projects and new centres
- Presentation of results
- Communication with American counterparts to avoid duplication of work and discuss collaboration.
Research projects
Each project will use the expertise of the Consortium for advise, data management and ethics and public awareness. Research projects will be funded by:
- Public funding at either national or European level
- A combination of public and industry funding
- Pharmaceutical industry funding.
This type of study will comply with EADC guidelines about collaboration with the pharmaceutical industry. Except in exceptional circumstances a maximum of one study per year will be undertaken in this category by the consortium.
Two studies are actually on-going: ICTUS and DESCRIPA
ICTUS - Impact of treatment with Anticholinesterase Inhibitors (AChE I) on Europeans with Alzheimer's Disease (AD)
is a prospective 2 years observational study which co-ordinates the centralisation of patient data available within the study's individual centres.
The primary objective of ICTUS is to determine whether treatment with AChE I changes the pattern of institutionalisation in European AD patients. The secondary objectives are to determine:
- The natural history of AD in Europe (cognitive impairment, and non cognitive domains of activities of daily living, behavioral disorders, and dependency).
- Identification of patient subgroups which respond differentially to AChE I treatment, using neuro-imaging.
- The impact of AChE I treatment on natural history and the caregiver burden of AD, on the financial burden of AD in Europe.
- The predictive factors for decline using hospitalisation and institutionalisation as markers of decline in AD.
DESCRIPA - Development of Screening guidelines and diagnostic Criteria for Predementia Alzheimer's disease
The primary goal of the project will be to perform a concerted action in order to reach an evidence-based European consensus on the identification of subjects with AD in the predementia stage.
The secondary goals of the project will be the development of diagnostic criteria for predementia AD in a clinical setting and the development of screening guidelines for predementia AD in the general population.

Managing morale - lessons from OPM's John Berry
Wednesday - 2/15/2012, 2:00am EST
By John Berry, Director, Office of Personnel Management
Many managers find it challenging to motivate their teams to do their best.
At the Office of Personnel Management, I've asked our team to tackle big challenges in the past three years, and been proud to see our people - and our partners across government - step up and deliver big results. We've increased our hiring of veterans more than 4 percentage points; moved to resume-based job applications while speeding time-to-hire by nearly 15 percent; and eliminated the backlog in security clearances for the first time since 9/11. We've helped the Department of Health and Human Services stand up a new health insurance program for people with pre-existing conditions, and now I've challenged our team to eliminate the backlog in retirement applications within 18 months.
These are big pieces within our broad mission to recruit, retain, and hire the best - and they weren't easy to achieve. But I believe that our approach at OPM provides a useful example to bear in mind as managers across government tackle their own challenges and pursue their own missions.
Federal workers - like anyone else - are often motivated by the sense that they are achieving something worthwhile. Various business and management authors have their own labels. Most recently, Theresa Amabile and Steven Kramer have called it "the progress principle."
Under any name, the principle is simple and rings true. People like to see that their work has an effect - on helping others, on changing the world, on improving themselves. I believe that the federal workplace provides a uniquely powerful opportunity for managers to communicate the impact workers can have because the missions our agencies serve are so vital to so many Americans.
At OPM, those who work in our health insurance division can point to lives that have been saved and people who have been healed. In our Federal Investigative Services division, we can point to the millions of security clearance decisions we've helped agencies make.
Each agency has its own mission, backed by passionate, hard-working employees. Federal employees make the world safer by tracking down organized criminals and shadowy terrorist networks. We safeguard American freedoms, applying the same law to all citizens in fair and functioning courts. We keep America's natural beauty and resources fresh for future generations.
Keeping an eye on the broad missions we serve helps balance out the less than positive statements we often hear about federal employees. Managers can - and should - take appropriate opportunities to say, "Good job. The work you did today made Americans safer." Or, "More veterans will have jobs because of your work."
Individually, we may not have a big hand in any one mission, but we know that because we each do our share, America will remain the greatest nation in the world. The freedoms and safeties enjoyed by past generations will continue. That's why federal workers get up in the morning - to serve the American people.
Federal work can be stressful. But so too is it rewarding.
Ask the nurse in a veterans hospital who tends to serious war wounds. Ask the Homeland Security officer who investigates terrorist threats. Ask the federal scientist who researches cures for cancer.
At the end of their day, any of these federal workers may come home to his or her family and say, "I had a tough day today." But at the end of their career, every federal worker will look back on their lives and know that in their lifetime, they made America a little bit better.

Most Sunday mornings I spend a few minutes updating a list of phrases and beliefs. This is that list. The habit formed slowly over the years. Adding and subtracting. Some are original. Most are copied. Many are cheesy. I'm okay with that. Ready? ... Here we go:
We've come this far, let's not ruin it by thinking.
Assume positive intent.
First, acknowledge without judgement.
I just want to make things people love.
You can do it. It will work.
Treat others as
wish to be treated.
Have a bias towards action.
Trust but verify.
Switch mediums if you're stuck.
Half, not half assed.
Hope over fear.
Design is how it works.
Constant and never ending improvement.
Focus. Indigestion is worse than starvation.
Don't let analysis lead to paralysis.
How might we? Why?
Finish the important things.
It's okay to not know.
It's okay to say no.
Make work visible. Do good things, tell people about them.
Ask what problem we're trying to solve.
Write a list of problems. Write a list of solutions.
Grateful but frustrated.
New ideas don't have to solve problems.
If you don't ask, you don't get.
Strengths not weaknesses.
Self control, zeal, persistence, and the ability to motivate oneself.
Only you get to control how you feel.
What if instead of mindlessly scrolling we paused to be grateful for something.
Structured chaos.
People are the most important thing.
Ignore your crippling sense of mortality.
For now, that's the whole list!
Now, what else about me.
You're on my website afterall, aren't you?
Okay. You're probably wondering if I know what a
is and why you haven't seen one for a while.
Fair question.
You're still reading though, aren't you? So who cares.
I wanted this to feel like one of those soap bottles densely covered in text.
Lighten up.
So. Back to me.
I was born on December 18th, 1986 in Reno, NV.
I'm told the power went out.
Today I live in New York City.
More precisely, I live on Spring Street above two (2!) crêpe places and one pizza place. I email at david [at] nextbigsound.com. And
twitter: @dodeca
instagram: @dodeca
Why are some of these blacked out.
Seriously. Why is this blacked out?
And now for some tumblr posts:

June 18, 2010
Trade Paperback
In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the
nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying
districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the other
districts in line by forcing them to participate in the annual
Hunger Games, a fight-to-the-death on live TV.
One boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and sixteen are
selected by lottery to play. The winner brings riches and favor
tohis or her district. But that is nothing compared to what the
Capitol wins: one more year of fearful compliance with its rule.
Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who lives alone with her mother
and younger sister, regards it as a death sentence when she is
forced to represent her impoverished district in the Games.
But Katniss has been close to dead before - and survival, for
her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a
contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making
choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against
Acclaimed writer Suzanne Collins, author of the New York
Times bestselling Underland Chronicles, delivers equal parts
suspense and philosophy, adventure and romance, in this stunning
novel set in a future with unsettling parallels to our present.

Justice Joan Orie Melvin is a member of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. As touted on the court's website, it is "the highest court in the Commonwealth and the oldest appellate court in the nation."
Yesterday the court acquired a more dubious distinction: it's the latest state supreme court to see one of its members convicted of a serious felony. And yes, we mean "latest," not "only" or "first." Just last month, for example, former Michigan Supreme Court Justice Diane Hathaway pleaded guilty to federal bank fraud. Here in New York, Chief Judge Sol Wachtler of the Court of Appeals, our state's highest court, served a prison sentence back in the early 1990s.
(Don't say I didn't warn you. Back in 2004, I opined that "state court judges are icky." Article III all the way, baby.)
Back to Justice Orie Melvin of Pennsylvania. What could send Her Honor from the high court to the big house?

Best podcast/video series I have come across in a long time. Good Life Project.
Seth Godin – It's not about you
Do your work, your best work, the work that matters to you. For some people, you can say, "hey, it's not for you." That's okay. If you try to delight the undelightable, you've made yourself miserable for no reason. It's not about you
Atom Editor Invites Available
Two Atom editor invites available. I hate only rewarding new traffic, so the first will go to someone who is already on the BootStrapped Weekly newsletter (first one who tweets me). The other invite will go to someone who signs up for BootStrapped Weekly between now and midnight EST (Feb 27, 2014).
Customer Support Expectations
Customer support expectations are abysmal. Most people simply do not expect a response in a reasonable time frame. If you want to bust the doors open on a market, just give a damn about your customers. Everything else will eventually fall into place.

WhatsApp & The Other 3 Billion
Linking to this as a reminder to myself to try to see through the hype and think before reacting. That was the genius of WhatsApp really, they recognized that messaging apps are all about network effects and instead of focusing on the comparatively small market of the 'developed world', instead targeted the other 3 billion […]

Wallace: Creation Symphony & other orchestral works
Helios (Hyperion's budget label)CDH55465
Hyperion monthly sampler – September 2014
HYP201409 Download-only monthly sampler
Movement 3: The Love of Pelléas for Mélisande
Movement 4: Spinning Song
Movement 5: The Death of Mélisande
The story is simple enough. Pelléas falls in love with his older brother's young wife, Mélisande. The brother, Golaud, heir to King Arkel's throne, becomes aware of this and kills him; and Mélisande, having presented her husband with a child, dies of grief. But this simplicity cloaks a profound symbolism in which the nature of innocence is questioned and in which its abuse inevitably leads to tragedy.
'The Love of Pelléas for Mélisande': innocent or no, this is a passionate love, given rich expression on bass clarinet followed by the strings in rising sequences of desire. The hushed delicacy of the medieval setting is also present, but the conclusion of the movement matches the reality in the play, in which Pelléas and Mélisande have been prepared to give themselves wholly to each other, knowing that her husband is watching them.
'Spinning Song': this is a little character-piece, showing a delicate and lighter side to Wallace's character as a composer, especially when compared to the dark undercurrents of Sibelius's interpretation of the same scene. Wallace chooses to realize the unaffected innocence of Mélisande in simplistic form and melody. She is scarcely beyond childhood, and the music reflects her dangerous naivety which has so captivated the two brothers. In such a world of natural melodic charm it seems that cruelty would be an utter impossibility.
'The Death of Mélisande': coming after the innocence of the 'Spinning Song', the extravagance of the grief of this movement is all the more telling. This is a vast grief, not only because it occurs in the palace of a king and is for the wife of a king's son who has died in the wake of her lover, but also because this grief is not innocent. Golaud, having murdered his own brother, is left racked with doubt, not knowing whether Pelléas and Mélisande were, after all, merely children, not able to help what they did.
The contrast with the later, muted treatment of this by Debussy and Sibelius is startling. Dramatic funeral drums and gong punctuate the passionate descending phrase derived from a theme originally associated with Pelléas's declaration of love. The central section recalls that love, but the final lento e dolente, heralded by funereal trumpets and the return of the drums, fragments into hushed misery.
