It seems in our lives that all we do is rush around trying to get everything accomplished in the shortest amount of time and when we think that there might be some time to relax, we get inundated with something else. Taking a breather seems to be a luxury for some; the simple pleasures in life, however, should not be ignored. You have heard the saying "when life throws you a curve ball...." (I like to end this quote with) "take a hike!"
There is a lot to be said about a cleansing walk into the woods, whether it is to blow off some steam or simply let your mind wander with every step...meandering in and around the trees.

The Avoider: An Avoider does everything possible to escape from having to stand in front of an audience.
The Register: A Register is also extremely hesitant of speaking in public. They may not be able to avoid speaking as part of their job, but they never encourage it.
The Acceptor: The Acceptor will give presentations as part of the job, but does not seek opportunities to do so.
The Seeker: A Seeker actively looks for opportunities to speak. They understand that anxiety can be a stimulant that fuels enthusiasm during a presentation.
Becoming a Seeker is a prerequisite for sales success! So, how do we get those butterflies flying in formation?
The first thing to remember is that anxiety and nerves mean you are alive -- and without them, your resulting presentation would be like you: dead!
What you need to do is learn to control your anxiety and use it to fuel your enthusiasm.
Identifying Fears
To control your anxiety, you must identify what it is that you are afraid of. Is it forgetting your lines? Is it the audience size? Once you have established what exactly you are afraid of, then establish whether or not you can control it.
Imagine you are the captain of an airliner. Do you fear flying? Of course not(although you may fear crashing), because you are in complete control of not only the aircraft, but also the crew and the passengers.
You have a flight plan, and before you take off, you know the payload, weather conditions for the flight, arrival time, departure time, etc. However, what is most significant is that you are familiar with flying, and you are comfortable with all of that responsibility, because you have flown so many times before and you know virtually everything there is to know about that aircraft.
Therein lies the secret: The more presentations we deliver, the more accomplished we become. However, we must know what we are talking about -- we must know our subject matter inside out. Otherwise our audience will find us out.
Let's consider the areas that you can control:
Your audience: After all, you invited them.
Your material: You designed it.
Your resources: You chose to utilize them.
Yourself: You're no puppet.
If there are any areas you've identified that you can't control, forget them -- it'll probably never happen. (continued...)

Broncos rout Ravens 34-17 for 9th straight win
Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning passes the ball during the first half of an NFL ...
By DAVID GINSBURG, AP
Sun Dec 16, 9:21 PM UTC
Chris Harris returned an interception 98 yards for a momentum-turning touchdown, and the Denver Broncos beat the skidding Baltimore Ravens 34-17 Sunday for their ninth straight victory.
Peyton Manning threw for 204 yards and a score in his ninth consecutive win against Baltimore, the first with the Broncos (11-3).
Down 10-0 late in the first half, the Ravens had a first-and-goal at the Denver 4 when Harris stepped in front of Anquan Boldin, picked off a pass by Joe Flacco and sprinted down the right sideline en route to the longest regular-season interception return in Broncos history.
The Ravens (9-5) were playing their first game under offensive coordinator Jim Caldwell, who replaced the fired Cam Cameron.
Baltimore's offense sputtered in the first half, gaining only 119 yards and committing two turnovers that led to 10 Denver points. It was the third straight loss for the Ravens.

Honorable Mention
2013 Skyscraper Competition
Jin Ho Kim
United Kingdom
Nowadays approximately 3 billion people rely on rice as their major source of food. It is expected that the rice demand will continue to accelerate and by 2025 more than 4 billion people will rely on it. As a consequence local governments in East Asia have established a total control on rice fields and production. This has been a disastrous event for the local farmers and has left the price of rice in absolute control of a handful of people. It is also expected that the price of rice will gradually increase to a point in which the majority of the Asian population will not be able to afford it.
This project proposes the creation of decentralized aeroponic vertical farmlands that will be able to provide enough rice for future generations. The basic structure consists of an array of bamboo parallelograms that create stepping terraces of rice fields. It counts with a natural irrigation system where gradually flows down with gravity through a network of irrigation paths.
In addition, the proposed skyscrapers will be located within the cities to avoid unnecessary processing, packaging, transportation, and storage. The facilities will also be operated by the local community providing countless jobs and opportunities for the inhabitants.
To commemorate the 9th Annual Skyscraper Competition, eVolo is publishing the Limited Edition Book "eVolo Skyscrapers 2" which is the follow-up to its highly acclaimed book "eVolo Skyscrapers". The 628-page book examines 150 projects received during the last years of the competition. Only 1000 copies are available worldwide.

Once again, DaVinci Academy of Arts and Science has been recognized for the 2013-14 school year as one of Minnesota's "Reward" Schools by the Minnesota Department of Education. Reward schools are the state's highest performing schools, recognized for their quality education practices. DaVinci Academy is one of only 3 Minnesota charter schools that have received the Reward School designation for all four years since the Multiple Measurement rating (MMR) system was introduced in 2011-12. The MMR rating measures student proficiency, student growth, achievement gap reduction and, for high schools only, graduation rates. The percentage of possible points a school earns out of 100 possible is its MMR score. DaVinci Academy's MMR score for 2014 was 79.23%, up from 78.81% in 2013.
The Multiple Measurement Ratings (MMR) system also gives annual targets for the school, and in 2014 DaVinci Academy surpassed our target goals in math and reading proficiency by 35 to 75%, for all 5 different subgroups. Based on the MMR system DaVinci Academy is ranked in the top three charter schools in the state for 2013-14, among the approximately 70 charter schools that receive Federal funding to help low-income and at-risk students.

One way to make 'hidden' SMB shares reappear
You are the only other person I have seen mention the sharename-1 behaviour, and I have searched many online resources and asked about it several times with no acknowledgment. We get it in a different situation - if another user on the FUS-enabled Mac has a share on another mac mounted, then when you mount the same share it appears with a -1 after the sharename. Not much of a problem except they both appear in the sidebar in the Finder and file open/save dialogue. Aliases to folders and files on this share often get confused and sometimes cannot find the file or open the folder with nothing appearing in it.

Why Apple can't be insanely great after Steve Jobs
My very last session at SXSW was arguably the most interesting, with Geoffrey Fowler from the Wall Street Journal interviewing journalist-turned-author Yukari Iwatani Kane. Her new book, Haunted Empire, charts what life is like at Apple in the shadow of Steve Jobs.
What became incredibly clear during her talk is that the company can never be the same again — and nor should it try to be. Here, I try to explain why.
Too many chiefs, no Big Chief
Steve Jobs was more than a tough, demanding boss; he edged close to bully status. Sometimes he deliberately pitted one top executive against another, backing them into a corner so they had to come up with something amazing – or pay the price.
This kind of leadership meant Jobs was ruling over some incredibly big egos, with the most notable of all being Scott Forstall, the man responsible for iOS. While there was friction between him and the top executives even when Jobs was around, this boiled over with the failure of Apple Maps.
Another problem for Apple is that Steve Jobs had the indisputable authority to make big changes; Tim Cook doesn't.
"The story I heard is that [Scott] didn't want to apologise," said Kane. "He felt the best strategy was to admit there was a problem but not apologise. Tim Cook felt very strongly they should apologise." While Steve Jobs might have navigated through that problem – or stopped it happening in the first place – the end result was that Scott left.
"He was a brilliant engineer and no company can afford to lose [that kind of talent]," said Kane.
Another problem for Apple is that Steve Jobs had the indisputable authority to make big changes; Tim Cook doesn't. "Apple is at a disadvantage [compared to rivals such as Google and Facebook] because its disruptor has gone," said Kane. "At the same time you have Google with Larry Page, Facebook with Mark Zuckerberg… these people have the authority to make big decisions."
Who's looking after the detail?
Steve Jobs was a fastidious man: he cared about every single detail of Apple's products and marketing. That focus appears to have dropped down a notch since his death, with Kane pointing to Apple Maps as an example.
"That was really interesting because to get something so wrong and to come out with it anyway, you have to wonder where the breakdown occurred," she said. "The questions I'm asking are, did Scott Forstall not know? As the lead mobile software head, did his people not tell him? Or did he know and not tell Tim Cook? Did he tell Tim Cook and he decided it was okay? That was a big breakdown somehow."
Or take the iPad Air. Speaking to developers at SXSW this week, the iPad Air came in for some heavy criticism due to its 1GB of RAM – not enough when switching from a 32-bit to a 64-bit operating system, in their opinion. (If you own an Air and your apps keep on crashing, this could be why.)
Perhaps Steve Jobs would have anticipated this, perhaps not, but it seems likely that the perfectionist within him wouldn't have allowed such a flagship product to ship with a problem that was so easy to predict.
The "insane" motivation has gone
One of the 200 interviews on which Kane bases her book was with an engineer who had worked at Apple for 15 years. "He said my job is like Sisyphus," referring to the king in Greek mythology who was forced to roll a boulder up a hill each day, only to repeat the process the next day and forever more.
"He said, 'I'm asked to work long hours, do the impossible in blind faith that all that is going to be part of something significant. Then that moment would come when Steve went up on stage… and that gives you the energy to keep going'."
I finally left because that reward wasn't as great as it used to be. It wasn't as meaningful.
When Steve Jobs died, that engineer handed in his notice. "I finally left because that reward wasn't as great as it used to be. It wasn't as meaningful."
At the same time, senior executives are taking the opportunity to enjoy life – something that wasn't possible under Jobs, who hated taking holidays and hated his employees taking time off too.
"I think Tim is a more reasonable person," says Kane. "What I've heard is that people are taking more vacations, they're buying second homes now that they have time to spend in them. They're enjoying life."
While that's great for them, it takes the edge off the company. "I think to continue to be the edgy, innovative company that drives innovation requires an intensity that's just insane," says Kane. Without Steve Jobs behind them, Apple has lost its insanity.
The competition has upped its game
It would be foolish to pretend that Apple didn't have strong competition during Steve Jobs' second reign at the company, but in retrospect a few rivals appear complacent: Steve Ballmer's reaction on seeing the iPhone – that it didn't even have a keyboard – is good evidence of this.
Apple's head-start advantage in phones and tablets is starting to fade, with intense pressure from the likes of Google and Samsung, which both have amazing resources at their disposal. And that's not to forget the newbies such as Facebook.
What's more, there's the "G to G" factor…
Brain drain, or G to G
Apple undoubtedly still has the ability to attract the world's greatest minds, but anecdotal evidence suggests that Google has become top dog. "I heard that employees had a new term for people who were leaving," said Kane. "And the phase was: 'Where's he going, is it G to G – going to Google?' From what I hear there's a leaving party every week."
Duos have gone solo
Steve Jobs did not create the brilliance of Apple products in a vacuum: together with Jonathan Ive, he designed great hardware. Together with Scott Forstall, he created ground-breaking, intuitive software. And together with Tim Cook, he created a brilliantly efficient business that delivered amazing profits.
Now all three of those people are brilliant, but as we've already seen, Scott Forstall has gone. Tim Cook will continue to drive efficiencies, but all the big improvements have surely been made. And Jony Ive will create great designs – but without the unique challenge of Steve Jobs, will they ever be insanely great again?
"It used to be Steve Jobs and Jony," said Kane. "Everyone needs somebody to bounce ideas off: no matter how brilliant you are, you need that feedback to push you harder to polish that brilliant idea, and I don't know who that is for him."
The reality distortion field has left the building
Steve Jobs would probably have been the most successful door-to-door salesman in the world, with an incredible ability to turn the most mundane into the most magical. While Tim Cook and his crew do their best to repeat the trick in their keynote addresses, no-one alive can match Steve Jobs for his reality distortion field.
But it's too simplistic to say this alone is what made Apple's products seem magical. There was the attention to detail already mentioned, and slick thinking to back up the presentation.
No-one alive can match Steve Jobs for his reality distortion field
Kane mentioned Siri as an example of something that wouldn't have happened during Steve Jobs' reign. "I know it's a project that was in development when Steve was alive, so I don't put it upon Tim Cook, but what I did wonder about was the way they marketed it. I'm not sure that he would have put a beta product at the centre of a new product campaign."
One big problem is that voice technology is incredibly difficult to get right. It's also something that doesn't work straightaway. "I wouldn't criticise Apple for Siri not being as great as it should be from the get-go, but I think setting expectations was one of the things that Apple really did well [under Steve]," said Kane.
Too many ideas, no single big idea
Apple is packed full of brilliant people, so to suggest that the company doesn't have ideas for new products is ridiculous. But with Steve Jobs gone, and now Scott Forstall too, it's hard to see who is there to pinpoint exactly which they should focus on.
According to Kane, Tim Cook isn't the deciding force either. "He tends to be more of a delegator. It's what we saw with Apple Maps. He trusts you with responsibility, but if you screw up then you're gone."
And that leads to surely the biggest problem of all: a clear vision for the company. Even as an Apple observer for many years, and someone who's spent more than a year writing her book, Kane can't determine what this is.
"Early on he articulated the Tim Cook manifesto, he articulated what Apple stood for. This was right after Steve had taken leave for his transplant. But that was Apple under Steve."
Since then, there's been little obvious sign of his view. "He's been out there saying Apple hasn't changed; he's also said what he would do and not what he thinks Steve would do. I'm still waiting for it."
It's tempting, then, to simply say that someone else should take over, with Jony Ive often cited as being the obvious choice. But Kane doesn't buy this argument. "Jony is not a businessman and, as I understand it, he isn't interested in running a business. He's a great industrial designer, perhaps the greatest of his generation, but that doesn't make him a great CEO.
It's also tempting to point to new product releases such as the Mac Pro – a machine we gave a glowing review to, and for good reason – but Kane argues this is tinkering on the edges rather than a platform for success. "It's definitely a sleek-looking machine, but if you're going to pin the fact you're innovative on a machine that ten people are going to buy – which is expensive and not necessary for most people – then that's a problem."
So, what's next?
Kane wouldn't be drawn too much on what she thinks will happen next for Apple, and it's understandable why. The future is notoriously difficult to predict; far safer to stick with the past and present.
Tim Cook is surely a dream appointment for Apple mega-investors, such as pension funds
But all the above does make it sound like the company is heading into a calmer phase with fewer big highs. For now, that isn't a problem. Tim Cook is surely a dream appointment for Apple mega-investors, such as the pension funds, who can rest easy in the knowledge that the existing products will become more and more profitable. If there are efficiencies to be made, Cook will find them.
What interests me is what happens if there aren't any new breakthrough products in the next few months. If iWatch is released but only gains lukewarm reviews, if the company is still heavily reliant on phones and tablets – and market share is still being eroded due to the mass growth of Android – what happens then?
Even the most conservative of shareholders will become restless, and Apple will need a new leader to take charge. Someone with vision, with enough gravitas to control rampant egos, someone who can quickly gain the respect of staff and customers alike.
Who is that person? Your suggestions below would be very welcome…

The problem is simple. The media and the market all have Messiah fixations. To be the Messiah you have to be the Founder. Which is now impossible.

When Jobs returned to Apple in 1999 the company was in a (seemingly) terminal decline. He turned it around and made it more successful than it had ever been. Either that revival was all one huge coincidence or Jobs made a massive difference, a difference few (if any) other men could have made. Hence why Apple is now condemned to being (at best) just another tech company, once the Jobs influence finally vanishes and Tim Cook has to come up with some ideas of his own. One thing's for sure, they won't be "insanely great". How could they be?

Big corporates are not environments where mavericks prosper – if Steve Jobs was reincarnated in another body with another name and tried to make it at Apple, he'd fail. People would not put up with the eccentricities from anyone but the original Steve Jobs. They are best forgetting the messiah culture and trying to put a senior team together with synergy – which means someone not like Steve but with some of Steve's characteristics…
Nick Says:

The other thing Apple could do is what google are doing – buy the mavericks whilst they are still affordable in areas which are likely to be the next big thing…

I think this article pretty much gets it spot on. Jobs was brilliant. I can see why the tech geeks dislike him/walled gardens/cost etc, so I guess he'll get a kicking here, but I don't think we'll ever see his like again.
Chatan Says:

This is an alternative view on this book:
I don't think Apple will be the same, but saying they won't be game-changing again is illogical. Steve Jobs might be gone, but remember that Tim Cook knew him better than almost anyone – unlike the first-time round when SJ left, there is someone who understands Apple like he did.

I clearly have more money than sense because I was tempted to buy a MacPro despite the fact that the main user is my wife whose main complaint is that she doesn't have enough memory; disk space and power for her photo amendment work (and whose HP workstation is running XP which gave the impulse to solve all her problems at once).
But clearly she doesn't need 2 x Graphics cards of that power so while still tempted I looked around for alternatives and found that for half the price here of the standard lower MacPro I could get a Windows 8.1 i7 4770 with 32GB, 256GB SSD + 3TB disk; and sensible graphics card tower. Thus leaving enough money for me to go mad with a top end MacBook Pro for myself…

The Jony Ive biography is well worth a read if you want to know how Apple works. They ain't done yet.

It's quite interesting that of all the High-tech entrepreneurs Jobs is credited with the biggest achievement. I
ts certainly true that Apple has become a hugely powerful & profitable company, but in its Jobs-less form it lacks the pure PUNCH that Jobs' personality brought to it. Sad for him & Apple that he started to believe his own "Reality Distortion Field" and eschewed proper medicine for ineffectual quackery…..
Joseph Lee Says:

I think it's interesting that apple are reducing their prices and are becoming less "premium". When jobs was around, apple could afford to be significantly pricier then it's competition, safe in the knowledge that people would still buy. Now I think apple realises it lacks that extra x factor.

Oh dear. It's such a tempting premise, and such a load of BS. Kane's book has been extensively analysed and – rightly – criticised. She started from a specific premise, and has (very selectively) pursued every argument that supports her premise. The book has been described as ill-structured, ill-disciplined and inaccurate. To talk about a vast corporation like Apple – even in Jobs's time – as something driven entirely by one man and his 'inspiration' is ridiculous. And in fact, in terms of product launches, Apple is following very much in his footsteps – extremely cautious, extremely conservative, only putting out a truly remarkable product every few years (the iPad Mini, for example – something Jobs didn't believe in, but which is now one of Apple's most successful products). How people can honestly write such garbage about one of the most successful companies on the planet fills me with… well, awe, frankly. And hey, just for the record, I'm not even a Mac user!

Does anyone know more information about the John Hopkins Winter Externship program?
- 0I am interested in applying next year to help improve my resume and clinical experience. Any advice on how to get accepted?
- 0What does that mean?
- 0O ok. Got thanks. Still learning about this site..
- 0I am searching for the MD forum... what is it under?
- 0Jan 11, '12 by Hargrove86I have no idea about the program really. I have been looking into externships over the summer and winter breaks as well. I looked at Bayview and UMMC so far. Everything you need to know should be on their website. Looks like at least a 3.0 and have your CNA license. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Let us know if you find anything out. This will be my first semester junior year so I have to wait until next semester to get into something like this since I won't have my CNA license until after this semeser.
- 0Jan 11, '12 by melissacareyWhich state do you live in? I am also starting nursing school, and I am taking fundamentals of nursing that would qualify me to be a CNA (in theory). But in CA I am not automatically licensed. I would have to challenge the test through CA public health or take the test through Red Cross. I wished I was CNA certified after my first semester of nursing school. It would make sense..
Yes, I will let you know if I hear anything else. I really want this externship... I need as much experience I can get.
- 0Jan 11, '12 by Hargrove86I am in Maryland. Good luck to you. That's crazy that in CA you don't get your license after your first semester in the program.
- 0Jan 11, '12 by melissacareyNo wonder the internship requires you to be CNA certified. Are you close to JH Hospital? Have you ever tried to call them/ or get a hold of them? That way you can find out the statistics of how many apps they get, how many they accept, etc. Then you would have a ball park where you stand.
Good luck to you too!

All the great benefits of a floorboard in a smaller more affordable package! The 3/4" drop-style mount, with interlocking splines, provides more legroom & slight angle adjust-ability for added comfort. Maintain stock-like ground clearance for optimum control.
(5-1/2" long x 4" wide)
I would give it a negative star if I could.
They can keep these "Gloss Black Premium" mini floorboards. The paint is NOT "premium". Functionally they work OK, but as for a long lasting painted finish, forgetaboutit. The paint will quickly wear where ever your boot touches the paint.
If you want a long lasting finish, buy the chrome version. I don't know how they can sell this painted crap. They should just pull them off the market.
I bought them to match the black theme of the F6B, but they're just not worth it in "Gloss Black Premium" paint finish. You'll be sorry you bought them and didn't get the chrome version.
I wish I could return them and get the chrome ones.
And we can't wait to show you how it's done!

From birth we're taught that we're owed a beautiful girl. We all think of ourselves as the hero of our own story, and we all (whether we admit it or not) think we're heroes for just getting through our day.
So it's very frustrating, and I mean frustrating to the point of violence, when we don't get what we're owed. A contract has been broken. These women, by exercising their own choices, are denying it to us. It's why every Nice Guy is shocked to find that buying gifts for a girl and doing her favors won't win him sex. It's why we go to "slut" and "whore" as our default insults — we're not mad that women enjoy sex. We're mad that women are distributing to other people the sex that they owed us.
Yes, the women in these stories are being portrayed as wonderful and beautiful and perfect. But remember, there are two ways to dehumanize someone: by dismissing them, and by idolizing them.

How To Build A Food Vendor Cart
- money
- lumber
- phone
- appliances (vendor cart compatible)
- Determine what food you want in your cart. In order to know how to customize and enhance your food cart, you need to know what food you will be offering. Some foods may require constant heat or grilling. If you plan what foods you will be needing beforehand, you will always be prepared with sufficient equipment.
- Retrieve the necessary food and safety permits. Since you will be selling food, your state of residence will more than likely require you to apply for a business permit, food permit, catering license, or a combination of the three. You may have to go online and research what permits your state requires you to have as a food vendor. Visiting your local courthouse may also help. Even if some of these permits aren't necessary, having them will increase the trust your customers have in your business.
- Hire professionals to help with construction of the cart. Even though you won't be buying your cart from an outside source, it is a great idea to hire outside specialists to deal with matters such as equipment installation and electricity. A carpenter may also be necessary during the construction of the cart's frame. The exterior appearance of your cart is just as important as its interior.

FAIRBANKS — A Fairbanks man has been sentenced to a year in prison for stealing a snowmobile from a neighborhood.
Twenty-two-year-old Ralph Luke-Holmberg was charged with felony vehicle theft but he reached an agreement with prosecutors to plead guilty Monday to misdemeanor vehicle theft.
Fairbanks police arrested Luke-Holmberg in February. He was found with a stolen snowmobile.
He had been convicted three months earlier of stealing a snowmobile and joyriding through Creamer's Field, a wildlife area on the north side of the city. The machine and a fence were damaged in that incident.
He was sentenced to a year in prison, with all time suspended, in the first case.

You might want to throw that into a break ;p
You might want to throw that into a break ;pYeah, was going to do that but got distracted by dataz. Break and toggles added for convenience!
wait, dual wield at 20? that's bogus..
GC wasn't kidding when he said at Blizconn he liked nerfing paladins :pWere holy pallies over-powered on the beta?
Is the post going to be edited/being edited? All i see are links that refresh the page and no info.
The links don't work properly unless you're on cata.wowhead.com
Also, use the toggles. Until I clean up the collapsed lists, I hid the spam so you don't get carpal tunnel from scrolling through a list of mostly boring reagent changes for profession spells. :P
The links don't work properly unless you're on cata.wowhead.comFixed.
Changing to the Cata side of the site did nothing for me.edit: and I'm not seeing any toggles either.. Is this an issue with Firefox maybe?edit2: Meh I'll just check back much later instead of trying to figure this out right now.
Yeah going onto Cata.Wowhead did nothing for me either. I wanna check out the changes but whenever i click a link it either refreshes this page or it just does nothing :<
Should work now. Basically, you guys were using the table of contents, which doesn't work for collapsed toggles. I had them closed by default to save the trouble of scrolling. I just opened them up by default, so table of contents works.

I think you have the "Compare Tooltips" mixed up for Holy Light if it's indeed supposed to be a healing power decrease. You have the old tooltip saying 3202 to 3566 and the new one saying 4163 to 4637. The actual Holy Light link is correct, though.EDIT: Actually, it looks like you have the tooltips correct, but it's supposed to be an increase instead of a decrease. All of the other spells received increases.
Soulstones & Dark Intent require Metamorphosis? That's so stupid. They're basically pushing all locks to spec/offspec Demo.

You misunderstood the change of resistance racials. Currently, it's the 2% increased chance to be missed. But in the beta they changed it to an increased resistance (the amount will probably scale with character level). It's not the other way around.

7 Roommate Red Flags to Look Out For
Not willing to do dishes is only the beginning.
Craigslist (styled craigslist) is a classified advertisements website with sections devoted to jobs, housing, personals, for sale, items wanted, services, community, gigs, résumés, and discussion forums.
Craig Newmark began the service in 1995 as an email distribution list of friends, featuring local events in the San Francisco Bay Area, before becoming a web-based service in 1996 and expanding into other classified categories. It started expanding to other U.S. cities in 2000, and currently covers 50 countries.
Having observed people helping one another in friendly, social, and trusting communal ways on the Internet via the WELL, MindVox and Usenet, and feeling isolated as a relative newcomer to San Francisco, Craigslist founder Craig Newmark decided to create something similar for local events. In early 1995, he began an email distribution list to friends. Most of the early postings were submitted by Newmark and were notices of social events of interest to software and Internet...
A 19-year-old woman arrested for allegedly killing a man she met on Craigslist has not only confessed to that crime but at least 22 other murders, claiming her first victim came when she joined at satanic cult at age 13. In a jailhouse interview with a local newspaper over the weekend, Miranda Barbour said that Troy LaFerrara, who allegedly used used Craigslist to arrange a paid sexual encounter with Barbour, was not her first victim.
To some, Craigslist is a utopian online wonderland, where people freely communicate and share things they want or need. To others, it's a creepy site frequented by scammers and murderers. Either way, it's there and you just might have to use it. Hunting for an apartment is never an easy task, and those looking to make a fast deal will often turn to Craigslist. Millions of people post apartment listings daily, so it's a plentiful source for those who need roommates or new tenants immediately.
If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Mike Huckabee clearly holds Arianna Huffington in high esteem. The former -- and possibly future -- presidential candidate will launch a website called the Huckabee Post, according to multiple reports.
When I moved to Chicago for graduate school, I picked roommates off Craigslist and mailed a deposit check without having ever met them. When I moved to NYC a year ago, having visited once for a weekend, I booked an apartment via Airbnb for the first month to give myself time to find a good place and check out various neighborhoods. Whether you're moving to a new town you're not familiar with, or just to a new apartment in the same neighborhood, finding the right place can be stressful and expensive.
Shopping for a desk on Craigslist, a Rabbi from Connecticut got more than he bargained for -- much more. Noah Muroff paid less than $200 for the desk, according to WTNH News. When it wouldn't fit through his office door, he and his wife began to dissemble the desk in hopes of squeezing it through. That's when Muroff noticed behind one of the drawers a plastic shopping bag containing $98,000.
Have some crumbling IKEA furniture in your basement that you've been trying to ditch for three years? That's exactly what Craigslist is for (and questionable rideshare requests, of course). But between creating an irresistible listing and haggling for a better price, getting your items to sell on the site is an uphill battle.
Hank Butitta is taking a tour of America from behind the wheel of a bus. Butitta was only one year away from receiving his Master's degree from the University of Minnesota, but grew disinterested with designing buildings and other monotonous structures. Looking for a creative spark, he decided to purchase a school bus from Craigslist and renovate it as his final project.
If you've ever skimmed Craigslist's missed connections section, you know how they usually play out. The writer saw "the one that got away" on a park bench or in the check-out line at Trader Joe's. There was a moment between them, a fleeting glance, but neither party said anything before one walked away. See also: Challenge Accepted: 15 Trivia Questions You'll Probably Get Wrong A post from Brooklyn's missed connections posted on Tuesday began in the same way.
Party guests will remember a truly epic evening for the rest of their lives -- or at least until they graduate college. But with the economy's current state, people don't want to (or can't) spend money on expensive food and decorations just to be part of a legendary memory. So, what's a bargain-hunting host do to? Turn to Craigslist, your top source for all things cheap, weird and free.
If Dick Wolf and company are suffering from writer's block this summer as they work on the next season of Law and Order: SVU, they might want to visit the rideshare section of Craigslist. Most posts in rideshare seem harmless enough. People want to save gas on their summer road trips. Others in the middle of moving hope to enlist the services of someone with a van. Meanwhile, some are so creepy you can practically hear the classic Law and Order "bump-bah" after the final line.
No activity is more stressful than job-hunting. Whether your parents are on your back about being unemployed or desperate for some green in your pocket, it can be quite an overwhelming process. Craigslist is such an avenue for anyone hoping to test the job market. However, for a website that thrives on its unmoderated, anything-goes antics, it can make for quite an interesting browsing session.
Craigslist can be a great place to find or recycle items for free, like an old air conditioner or gently used couch. It also serves as an excellent source of entertainment, offering some of the strangest items you didn't realize you need. See also: 15 Absurd Craigslist Missed Connections Ranging from super creepy to somewhat useful (free hot sauce, anyone?), these 12 free listings are some of the best oddities you'll find on Craigslist.
Story Updated 7/27/13 6:14 p.m. ET Jay Z officially dropped the hyphen in his name last week, confusing fans and copy editors everywhere with the seemingly sudden decision. Perhaps most upset of all was the former hyphen itself. In response, Funny or Die created a parody Craigslist post, and posed as the rapper's outcast hyphen looking for a job.
Craigslist: It's likely better known for job searches and furniture hunting than it is for true romance. But if you dig deep into your local missed connections section, you'll find the hopeful notes of people hoping to connect with those who they regret not pursuing further. Missed connections on Craigslist can range anywhere from perfectly harmless to downright creepy. But if you happen to be the subject of one of these ads, the sweeter ones can serve as a pretty hefty boost to your self-esteem.
If you click through enough online dating profiles, and you begin to wonder whether any singles on the Internet have a brain. It's usually not the profile writer's fault; summarizing yourself in a few paragraphs is no easy task, and more often than not, conveys an identity that is incongruous with the individual's true self. If you met in person, you might be totally charmed, but on sites like OkCupid and Match.com, it's easy to be put off by grammatical errors and unwarranted douche vibes.
Profanity-laced hyperbolic Craigslist ads were once novel, but now they are a genre to themselves. To get people's attention on the site these days you have to do something really remarkable. That's why we salute this ad for a used bicycle from Ryan Kutscher, an advertising copywriter. Where to start? There's the opener: "Grab a paper bag, breathe into it and calm your ass down.
The Launchpad is a series that introduces Mashable readers to compelling startups. If you would like to have your startup considered for inclusion, please see the details here.

Why It's Taking Off: With the launch of mobile app Zumper Pro, landlords can easily manage their listings inside Zumper and on other sites.
People despise being told the areas they're lacking and how they can improve. But, for a few tools that make winning easier, it's worth swallowing your pride. A recent post by LinkedIn on the arsenals of highly successful entrepreneurs shows what weapons of war these figures use for battle and what they can't get through their workday without. "Their answers ranged from smartphones, to bike lock keys, to brilliant colleagues," LinkedIn editor Francesca Levy told Mashable.
Spring is just around the corner, so it's the perfect time to get working on your spring cleaning. Clearing out your basement, garage or attic can help you start the season on the right foot, but if you're the type who prefers to hoard your belongings rather than purge them, it may take a little monetary incentive to talk yourself into ditching those decade-old electronics and artifacts from your teenager's childhood.
Craigslist is one of the first places we go to find ourselves a job, a new place to live or even a trendy used couch. But wouldn't it be easier to find that couch if Craigslist featured easier navigation? In the last few years, the web design community has pitched various redesigns to improve its interface. SEE ALSO: 10 Craziest Craigslist Missed Connections of 2012 Since its introduction to the web in 1996, the iconic service has been known for its messy, disorganized website.
Whether you're looking to rent a room, sell some furniture or offer a service, a Craigslist classified is a great way to advertise.

When you think of Craigslist, you probably imagine the sparsely designed Internet agora of job listings, apartment rentals and just about everything else in between. But what do you really know about the community-driven e-commerce hub? We dug into Craigslist's About page to learn some lesser-known facts.
For anyone who prefers swiping and tapping to copy/paste, Mokriya Craigslist is a smooth new mobile Craigslist alternative on Android and iPhone.
While Craigslist offers a unique way to find goods and services online, there are several setbacks to the online classifieds platform: Scams run rampant, spam ads are frequent and the minimalist design lacks user-friendly appeal. Many still flock to Craigslist to post job listings or apartment rentals because of its large community, but the downfalls often outweigh the possible visibility of the ad. It just may be time to look elsewhere for online classified ads.
You can check-out any time you like, But you can never leave! If I told you these Eagles lyrics described a certain website, you'd probably think it was Facebook. After all, public exclamations of quitting Facebook are so common it's cliche, but by and large the people still stay. The same is true on other networks that angered users with product or business changes.

Good article!
I agree that IRC is a hassle. I only use it when I know exactly what I want (pretty much only for fills). Most groups, unfortunately, don't do a good job of summarizing/previewing the titles they translate - it's a shame that they spend years on a title, but all you see on the webpage is a cover image and maybe "description coming soon".
As far as software, though, pretty much all you'd need is WinRAR to decompress things and IrfanView to view (which has a very nice spacebar-to-proceed-to-next-file feature). CBR and CBZ files are just RAR and ZIP files. Any kind of specialized comic viewer software is strictly optional.

5380 graphics...typo? Should be 5830.
Previous generations shipped with 4830 graphics.
I'm glad laptops have started shipping out with USB 3.0. Hopefully the tech will be standard sometime later this year. It was getting frustrating backing up my data onto external HDD using USB 2.0.
Yeah the sooner every PC ships with 3.0 the sooner the market will start to fill with 3.0 devices and the sooner I can get over not getting those eSATA thumb drives I wanted so badly.
Yeah I was thinking about the USB thing today specifically based on a laptop. If you ran a laptop with a sub 60-100 gig SSD OS program drive, and had USB 3.0 ports with and external it would really change the default of computers at least it would seem so to a point. With a setup like that it would enhance the performance especially with a switchable GPU and onboard GPU especially from a power profile length of use platform. You could have as much with you as you wanted and at any given time just plug it into a USB 3 port, which from what I understand runs very close to a sata 3 port in throughput anyways.
I guess the other important question is if all USB 3.0's will be backwards compatible to USB 2.0.
Yes gibbersome from what I understand the IEEE certification requires it to be backwards compatible by default. This is as a course of action the general reason for certification from what I know anyway.
I think USB3 just like USB2 is going to be a major impact on the market. The speeds for an interconnect are just incredible as is sata3, but sata3 is specialized where this one is very general and will work with everything eventually.
Agree with rapid1 ; this technological upgrade, while nothing world-shaking from a theoretical point of view, is likely to have immense practical consequences. I hope we will shortly see some good but inexpensive USB 3.0 cards which will allow us to upgrade our older machines....
It's easy to read all this stuff about USB 3.0 but until you actually experience it you won't be able to see just how huge an improvement it will be.
Actual comparative footage of USB 3.0 vs 2.0 in action. It's pretty staggering just how powerful and fast it is. Can't wait to get my hands on a 3.0 machine

Undergraduate Courses at Bangor University
Location: School of Healthcare Sciences, Bangor with practice placements with both NHS and other partners accross north Wales. For details of the location of the Fields of Practice, see www.bangor.ac.uk/healthcaresciences or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com
All students applying for the Bachelor of Nursing programme must meet the following criteria for good health and good character during the admission process (see NMC guidance here):
The Adult Nursing course is appropriate for careers working with people of all ages facing physical and mental health challenges or living with learning disabilities who need professional nursing care. Nursing offers a range of interesting and rewarding careers in healthcare. Advice on entry requirements and careers can be found here.
For further course information, please visit the School's website.
Qualifying as a Registered Nurse in Wales enables registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council. Careers may be with large employers e.g. NHS Health Boards or smaller independent sector organisations and can lead to opportunities in clinical specialisms, management, research, or education.
For more on studying degree courses see our Study at Bangor section.
You will have compulsory theoretical study and clinical placements in hospitals, community and/or residential settings in north Wales. Closely-supervised placements enable observation of professionals at work and participation in delivery of nursing care starting early in the course. Support is available from a personal tutor who is a registered nurse and an academic member of staff and mentorship supervision from a practicing registered nurse on placement. Theoretical and practical work is assessed through assignments, examinations, presentations and the All-Wales assessment of clinical practice.
For further information about how you will learn on this course, please see the School's website.
You can study one of four fields of practice; adult nursing, mental health nursing, learning disabilities nursing or children's nursing. The course is based equally on theory and practice – 50% is on theoretical study and 50% is spent in clinical practice developing competence needed for entry to the NMC's register. You will develop skills and professional behaviours, values and attitudes expected of a nurse to ensure the safety and protection of people of all ages and their carers and families. There are opportunities to study alongside other student healthcare professionals and the School has a strategy for interprofessional learning.
For further information on what you will study on this course, please visit the School's website.
Why Bangor?
I chose Bangor as it had an excellent reputation for training Nurses.
About the course…
The course is very hard going but very rewarding. Not only are you gaining a profession – you grow as a person…There is excellent support available from lecturers and admin staff. The library facilities are great with on-hand support if needed.
The best thing about living in Bangor…
The beauty and social activities. When I leave Bangor I will miss the people and the scenery.
Clubs and Societies…
I Peer Guide – which is helping new students to settle and get familiar with what Bangor has to offer.

After getting underway Monday, The Voice battle round continued last night with an epic vocal throwdown - and steal showdown involving the loser.
Blake Shelton paired Caroline Glaser, 18, and Danielle Bradbery, 16, together for a rendition of "Put Your Records On" by Corinne Bailey Rae.
In doing so, he virtually assured neither would go home.
Blake ultimately picked Bradbery, telling the youngster as only he can, "I don't know what your parents are feeding you, but I want a big loaf of that."
"Your natural singing ability really blows my mind."

Madison's Cap Times changes course
The big media news in Madison over the past week was one of those shocks that's not really a shock: the Capital Times, an afternoon paper that is one of two local dailies, will cease daily publication on April 26. Beginning April 30, the paper will publish two tabloid-format editions a week: a news and opinion section on Wednesdays and an arts and entertainment section on Thursdays. The paper also claims that it will significantly increase its Web presence.
The two weekly tabloids will be distributed to subscribers already getting Madison's morning paper, the Wisconsin State Journal, and also made available free in racks.
While the Cap Times trumpets its "increased circulation" to over 80,000 under this new plan, that seems largely due to its being distributed with the State Journal and given away. The Cap Times' subscriber base is currently just north of 17,000--and this in a metro area estimated at 550,000 (Madison itself is about 225,000).
While this seems like a gain for State Journal readers since they'll be getting content from an additional paper for (presumably) no extra cost, I'm guessing faithful Cap Times readers are not pleased. But it is doubtful that the Cap Times, in some form, will go away completely due to the terms of a rather confusing Joint Operating Agreement governing Madison's two papers.
Here's some coverage on the shift from the Cap Times site and some commentary by local blogger Madison Guy (see especially his thoughts on the possible drawback of this plan).
And in other local news... it appears Wisconsin's primary on Feb. 19 might actually matter, since the race is not yet sewn up. Barack Obama is headed here for an appearance on Tuesday, mere blocks from where I work. Though I will likely vote for him, I'm hoping to hightail it away from work before the crowds build up... I never miss an election, but large crowds are not my thing. Last week, AJ blogger Tyler Green offered up some thoughts on presidential candidates and the arts - with a useful link to policy statements on the Americans for the Arts Action Fund site.
P.S. As I write this on a Sunday night, it's -6 degrees here (and no, that's not the windchill). Oof.

The Minnesota Vikings look hobbled in the secondary going into Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, as the Vikings have ruled out veteran cornerback Chris Cook and 28-year-old strong safety Jamarca Sanford. Cook left last week's loss to the Cleveland Browns with a groin injury, and he was initially expected to play against the Steelers. However, things changed as the week went on, and I wonder if playing in London also had to do with the Vikings decision to rule Cook out. Probably not, because Cook wasn't able to practice at all this week, and his injury is more severe than expected.
Cook's injury is a sizeable blow to the Vikings pass defense, which is bad to begin with. Now, the Minnesota Vikings have just three active cornerbacks, and that lack of depth is going to hurt against a Pittsburgh Steelers passing attack that has plenty of potential with Ben Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown, Emmanuel Sanders, and deep threat rookie Markus Wheaton. Brown absolutely went off against the Chicago Bears last week, and you can only imagine what he is capable of against a hobbled Vikings defense.
Jamarca Sanford is out with a hamstring injury, and he also sustained his injury against the Browns in Week 3. Andrew Sendejo will start for Sanford, and we'll see a noticable drop-off even though Sanford is a liability in coverage.

Richard Sherman wanted to share his support for his boy Desean Jackson, so he went to his twitter account and shared a photo of the youngsters in little league together. Check out the tweet that he sent early Saturday morning:
@DeseanJackson10 and me have been boys since we were kids… No one should be judged by the actions of others! #fam pic.twitter.com/Q7yuxMcz6a
— Richard Sherman (@RSherman_25) March 29, 2014
Jackson and Sherman used to play some ball when they were kids and they both have made it as stars in the NFL. How athletic was that little league team?
Sherman and Jackson have been friends for a long time and I am sure that Sherman would like to have Jackson come join him with the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks lost one of their top receivers in free agency and they have been looking to fill that hole. Jackson would be a nice fit for the offense.
Jackson has been rumored to go to a number of players and there are a number of teams that are interested in adding the speedster onto the roster. He could be joining some squad soon and adding that dynamic speed onto some offense. Will it be with Richard Sherman and the Seattle Seahawks?
