If you have been searching for a new pastime, you may want to try playing golf. A game of golf offers a competitive, social atmosphere in beautiful outdoor settings. Moreover, since your mind is so involved in playing this sport, it is a good workout for both your brain and your body. Follow these easy tips to get started playing golf and you may discover it will quickly become your favorite pastime.
When golfing, sometimes it's better to walk, rather than getting a golf cart. Doing so gives you magnitudes more exercise over the course of your game, and makes golf both fun, relaxation and exercise. The constant movement of walking while golfing will keep your muscles warm.
Your body can really help you out in the sport of golf. Your arms shouldn't be the only source of strength; your whole body should be! Use your whole body to execute every stage of your golf swing. By using your whole body, you have a better chance to get more distance and better accuracy.
The key thing to consider when looking for a powerful swing is using both your upper and lower body to create momentum through the ball. Novices tend to have the belief that strength is drawn primarily from the arms; however, using arms alone generates nothing but weak, ungainly swings. The ideal approach is to craft a swing that utilizes all your muscles in one fluid motion.
One can find possible problems with their golfing stance by using a simple exercise involving wiggling their toes. If it is difficult to wiggle your toes when preparing to swing your club, this indicates you are leaning too far towards the ball. Lean back until your feet are loose to ensure you have the correct posture.
Keep focused on the next shot, forget those before it. Do not let water hazards or unsuccessful shots intimidate you when making your next shot. Anxiety about earlier poor plays can really have an effect on your game, so do your best to push them from your mind completely, rather than dwelling on them.
Align your feet with the ball to make effective shots. You can truly improve your game and swing by doing this simple thing. The direction that you want your ball to travel should be perpendicular to how your feet are lined up. You can check that you are doing this correctly by putting the club parallel to your toes; the tip of the club will be pointing towards the ball's potential path.
A round of golf can take over four hours, so it is advisable you bring along a snack, preferably something that is high in protein, such as nuts. Golf's a game that can make you very tired both mentally and physically. However, the calories and protein in your snack can help you remain alert and prevent your muscles from becoming fatigued, so you can stay on top of your game throughout the 18th hole.
As stated above, golf is a great sport to get both physical and mental exercise while hanging out with friends outdoors. So, if you are looking forward to taking up an engaging new sport, look no further. These easy tips will help you start playing golf and be on your way to a happier, healthier you.

Chemicals from Fracking, Acidizing, and Gravel Packing Make us Sick
Based on peer-reviewed studies, accident reports, and investigative articles, we know now that fracking can not be practiced without endangering human health.
Based on peer-reviewed studies, accident reports, and investigative articles, we know now that fracking can not be practiced without endangering human health.
Hugh Fitzsimons lll, a buffalo rancher on the outskirts of Carrizo Springs, Texas, cautiously watches the fracking industry's accelerating expansion.
A new report, issued the same day the latest round of global climate negotiations opened in Peru, highlights the fracking industry's slow expansion into nearly every continent, drawing attention not only to the potential harm from toxic pollution, dried-up water supplies and earthquakes, but …
If you're looking for the shale gas boom, northeastern Pennsylvania is the place to start.
While the oil and gas industry likes to claim that fracking is not an especially water intensive process, a new report has found that there are more than 250 wells across the country that each require anywhere from 10 to 25 million gallons of water.
The first researchers to systematically document ill health in livestock, pets, and people living near fracking drill sites were Michelle Bamberger and Robert Oswald.
Fracking takes rural communities and turns them into industrial zones — and citizens have little recourse.
The mainstream press has faithfully repeated every press and PR statement made by the shale producers.
Fracking has long been the oil and natural gas industry's best kept secret – in particular, the chemicals found in fracking fluids, which have been linked to a host of weird mystery ailments, like respiratory or gastrointestinal distress.
A landmark lawsuit that challenges the lax regulation of hydraulic fracturing in Canada has just scored a major victory.

O's activate Matt Wieters from the disabled list
Jul 25, 2010, 1:29 PM EST
Orioles catcher Matt Wieters has been activated from the 15-day disabled list and is batting seventh in Sunday's lineup against the Twins.
Wieters was placed on the disabled list just after the All-Star break with a strained right hamstring and only required the allotted 15 days to recover. Now healthy, he will try to right the ship on what has been a disappointing 2010 campaign.
Through 269 at-bats, the former first-round pick has posted a .245
batting average, a .315 on-base percentage, six home runs and only 29
RBI. But with the O's so far back in the American League East, he should start every day no matter the kind of numbers that he's posting.
Craig Tatum was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move, leaving Jake Fox as the Orioles' emergency backup catcher. In fact, Fox got in some time behind the plate on Saturday night when Tatum was struck in the hand by a foul tip.

That's because the main media is liberal, and Texas is pretty hardcore conservative.

Woods must face responsibilities, says Norman
Saturday 12 December 2009
Greg Norman, who knows a thing or two about being in the media spotlight, has expressed sympathy for Tiger Woods, but said the world No 1 must face up to his responsibilities.
Norman has had two marriage break-ups, most recently from tennis great Chris Evert just a year after their wedding.
"I feel sorry for Tiger, but he's got to figure out his situation for himself personally," said the Australian at the annual Shark Shootout in Florida. "From the game of golf I'm sure we'd like to see him back out there performing to the level he has played.
"He's been a great asset to the game and he'll continue to be that way. But from a personal perspective I wish him well. I hope he sorts it out – family is family and nobody likes to be in that position. I'm sure he'll work it all out."
Asked about possible damage to sponsorship, Norman added: "There's obviously some damage control that will have to be put into place. There's no question about that – he is the leader of the pack. He does represent the PGA Tour. He does represent golf in a lot of ways, so will there be an impact.
"I really can't make a comment on that, but I'm sure there are people thinking about it, reacting about it, making assumptions and what's it going to be like for the next year when he comes out and plays again. Or is he going to come out and play again? There's all this speculation out there and, quite honestly, what is really the truth?"
In a television interview with the Golf Channel, Norman also commented that Woods "has the right to privacy, but he also has responsibilities as a public figure". He added: "Things like that should stay behind closed doors, but then again we are public figures. There are times when people feel like they can reach through the TV screen and say 'I own you, I know you because I buy a product you represent'.
"That's a part of it. You have to accept that responsibility. Unfortunately, the media are the media. They support you on the way up and, when you need them, you use them just as much as they use us. And when you step across the line you've got to kind of take a little bit of the wrath of God, or whatever you want to call it. You don't want to see any residual fall-out into the game."
Two American golfers quoted by a weekly American magazine as making disparaging remarks about Woods and his marriage have said that they never spoke to the publication. In a story that Life & Style posted on its website, Ben Crane is quoted as saying Woods is a "phony and a fake" and that Woods' wife knew about allegations of extra-marital affairs. It also quotes Charles Warren as saying Woods' wife "had stars in her eyes and maybe dollar signs too" and should leave him.
The magazine said in a statement it was investigating. "This is unbelievable," Crane said from his Dallas-area home. "I never said a word about anything. They print this and put my name next to it."
Warren said through his agent that he has not given an interview of any kind in two months.

Today the Senate Intelligence Committee is set to release a report on the CIA's use of torture in the years after 9-11, but the contents of the report are practically irrelevant since the decision not to punish those responsible makes it an exercise in historical archiving at best, nothing more.
After his inauguration in 2009, President Obama said:
"This is a time for reflection, not retribution. I respect the strong views and emotions that these issues evoke. We have been through a dark and painful chapter in our history. But at a time of great challenges and disturbing disunity, nothing will be gained by spending our time and energy laying blame for the past."
You heard him. It's not worth spending the effort to punish criminals. That might as well be the theme of the last 6 years of his administration. Since the financial crisis in 2008, a few loan officers and just a single investment banker went to jail. The Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) has apparently made no criminal referrals to the Department of Justice in 6 years! — nor has the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency or the Federal Reserve.
As for torture, well it continues overseas since the lawyers at the CIA have determined that using intelligence acquired via torture is legal under United Nations agreements, provided they do not conduct the actual torture. Instead, suspected terrorist are transported to CIA run facilities in Saudi Arabia and Uzbekistan where US allies under the direction of CIA handlers conduct torture without constraint. And when I say without constraint, I mean it. Read More

Hunter/Storm, Kilroy get go-ahead for big Downtown Redwood City project
- Nathan Donato-Weinstein
- Real Estate Reporter- Silicon Valley Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
Hunter/Storm and Kilroy Realty's Redwood City office project is good to go. Fourteen months after winning a fierce bidding contest for a prime city-owned development parcel, the development team got the green light on Monday to move forward with the largest office project ever in the city's downtown core, which is now being dubbed "Crossing/900."
The development at 950 Middlefield Road will transform a 2.3-acre parking lot, dubbed Block 2, to include roughly 300,000 square feet of Class A office space and 5,000 square feet of retail. And city officials hope its workers will also spill over to help drive business activity in the reviving downtown area.
"It's going to be an enormous impact," said Dan Zack, downtown development coordinator for Redwood City. "This is going to add a lot of space, right by the Caltrain stop. And you're going to have office workers in the heart of the action, hopefully looking for lunch."

The city council's sign-off on a slate of approvals -- including a development agreement, planning permit and an environmental document -- paves the way for Hunter/Storm to submit for engineering and building permits. The project is split between two buildings of roughly 200,000 square feet and 100,000 square feet. The city has agreed to sell the parcel to Hunter/Storm for $17 million.
Hunter/Storm's financial partner in the deal is Kilroy Realty Corp., the Southern California-based real estate investment trust that exploded onto the Silicon Valley development scene last year with a slew of deals on the Peninsula for LinkedIn Corp., Audience Inc. and Synopsis, not to mention high-profile projects in San Francisco.

Submit a video to AwfulVision
Check out our YouTube Channel
It seems that America's funny man, Tom Cruise, has found a new lease on life during the past few years. Sure, some might call his new mannerisms "crazy", "dangerously crazy" or "so dangerously crazy that the government should hire Albert Einstein to go back in time and erase him from history ala the opening cinematics of Command and Conquer: Red Alert", but I am not one of those people (mainly because free speech isn't important enough to me to have my life ruined and the pants sued off of me for practicing it).
For the 3 of you who didn't watch that South Park episode from a year or so ago, Tom - as well as other celebrities - are members of a wonderful religion, that is in no way a cult, called Scientology founded by world renowned author L. Ron Hubbard who once completely coincidentally quipped that "if someone wanted to make a million dollars, they'd start a religion". Hubbard, of course, is well known for writing such classics as um... uh... well, I'm sure there are plenty. Besides, books are for nerds and dorks and not cool dudes like me. Who wants to spot me while I pump some iron? Hell yeah.
At any rate, I have a confession to make: Scientology is a great religion. There, I said it. In a world full of religions who's basic messages are all some version of "don't be an asshole, and you'll get rewarded for it after you die", Scientology has a much cooler, hipper, XXXtreme message for Generation X: "Give us money and we will remove the ghosts of aliens from your body". They are one hip cartoon cat mascot in sunglasses and a backwards baseball cap away from stealing the coveted 15-35 demographic away from atheism.
Don't believe me about how awesome Scientology is? Why, here are some more examples!
If that doesn't convince that Scientology is the coolest trend since hitting yourself in the face with a brick until you pass out (popular on the east coast during the late 80's), then consider this video. I suggest you consider it as quickly as possible before Tom Cruise and his squad of alien ghost lawyers descend upon it. I will admit that I haven't watched it; not out of lack of interest mind you, but because I don't want to commit thought-crime against L. Ron's litiganous legions.

As you may have noticed, the most popular viral videos at any given time are amazingly banal, annoying, and cliched pieces of waste. It almost seems as if the internet naturally gravitates towards the worst possible Youtube and Google video selections. So it stands to reason that if the terrible videos become popular, then the unpopular videos must be awesome! We here at Something Awful present to you AwfulVision™, our own patented service dedicated to showcasing a wide selection of unpopular videos that apparently must be good! Welcome to Web 3.9.

text: Njuguna Ndung'u: Agent banking Remarks by Prof Njuguna Ndung'u, Governor of the Central Bank of Kenya, at the official opening of the workshop on Agent Banking, Nairobi, 14 January 2010. * * * Chief Executives of Commercial Banks here present; Distinguished Guests; Colleagues; Ladies and Gentlemen: Allow me at the outset to thank you for accepting our invitation to attend this workshop. It is indeed important that this morning we are addressing the issue of Agent Banking, a concept we are keen to see take root innovatively in Kenya. The Central Bank has convened this workshop for three critical objectives: • The first objective is to demystify this new banking model and show how it works; • Secondly, to showcase how it has worked successfully in other countries as a platform for financial reach, inclusion and financial deepening; • Finally, to build consensus amongst market players on how Agent Banking can work in Kenya supported by regulatory framework. As you are aware, the Finance Act, 2009 that became operational at the beginning of this month has amended the Banking Act to enable use of third party agents by banks. Banks will therefore be able to leverage on additional cost effective distribution channels to offer financial services. This initiative is informed by the need to leapfrog access to financial services in Kenya. The National Financial Access Survey of 2009 shows that 32% of Kenya's bankable population remains totally outside the orbit of financial services and many more being served by the informal financial system. Ladies and Gentlemen: Vision 2030 is premised on a safe, efficient and inclusive financial system where savings and investment rates will more than double. The financial sector is expected to play a pivotal role in mobilizing the substantial resources required to finance the envisaged flagship projects. We must therefore explore and implement innovative models that will deepen Kenya's financial sector to support savings and investment growth. The Central Bank of Kenya continues to support innovations that will broaden financial inclusion for the majority of Kenyans. In doing so, we will need to focus on safeguards to ensure that the integrity and safety of the financial sector is not threatened. But above all, the cost of financial services should decline to encourage financial inclusion and reach at all corners of the country. It is appropriate at this stage to highlight the key steps that the Central Bank has undertaken up to now with regard to Agent Banking: • Initially, extensive reviews of the knowledge base in this area were undertaken to enhance our understanding of this model. • Secondly, a study was commissioned to review practices in other countries in Latin America, Asia and Africa. Bankable Frontier Associates, an international consultancy firm that undertook the study will be presenting their findings shortly. • Third, to uncover some practical insights on the model, a team from the Central Bank, the Ministry of Finance and the Kenya Bankers Association undertook a knowledge exchange tour of Brazil and Colombia. These two countries have to a large extent successfully implemented Agent Banking. BIS Review 5/2010 1 My colleagues will be sharing their insights from this knowledge exchange later today. Let me thank the Alliance for Financial Inclusion and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for supporting this exchange that we believe will transform the platform of financial services in Kenya, and to a large extent the lives of Kenyans. Ladies and Gentlemen: We have therefore so far gained invaluable insights on the Agent Banking model. These insights will contribute to the development of a robust regulatory framework for Agent Banking services in Kenya. Today's forum offers an invaluable platform to also get feedback from industry practitioners as we develop implementation plans for Agent Banking. It is only through forums such as this that epitomize private public partnerships that we are able to achieve the aspirations of Vision 2030. Ladies and Gentlemen: I also want to address fears that the Agent Banking model in Kenya is inappropriate – that it will kill Microfinance Institutions and SACCOs. On the contrary, it will speed up their activities. Vision 2030 envisages an inclusive financial system with space for different players to serve the majority of Kenyans. They will develop their market niches in line with their relative comparative advantages and strengths. In this scenario, the Agent Banking framework will play a complementary role for all players in the market. So these fears are misplaced. But this forum will also serve to expound this line further. Ladies and Gentlemen: As I draw to a close, it is important to underscore that the Central Bank will continue to be guided in its financial sector policy initiatives by the following tenets: • First, in conjunction with the Government, the creation of an enabling environment for financial sector players. • Second, public private partnerships will continue to be at the core of our initiatives. In the case of Agent Banking, today is just but the beginning of our dialogue. As we implement the model, we will continue to engage market players to ensure it works for the benefit of Kenyans. • Third, for many years, the banking sector could not reach all the corners of the country – it was expensive to erect branches – now, with this new innovation, they do not have to – they only need to look out for the appropriate agent. • Finally, we will continue to promote innovations while ensuring that there are adequate safeguards to foster financial sector safety and soundness. I am sure this workshop will expound on these important dimensions and provide the Central Bank with the richness of policy interpretation. It is now my distinct pleasure to declare this workshop officially open. Thank you. 2 BIS Review 5/2010

Ronald Dworkin, Scholar of the Law, Is Dead at 81
Ronald Dworkin, a legal philosopher and public intellectual of bracingly liberal views who insisted that morality is the touchstone of constitutional interpretation, died Thursday in London. He was 81.The cause was leukemia, said Richard Revesz, the dean of the New York University School of Law, who announced the death. Professor Dworkin had been a member of the school's faculty for many years and also taught at University College, London.Professor Dworkin was "the primary legal philosopher of his generation," said Judge Guido Calabresi, a former dean of Yale Law School who now sits on the federal appeals court in New York. He was also one of the most closely read as a mainstay of The New York Review of Books, to which he contributed articles for decades....

The Red Sox hit six home runs Thursday night, a feat they hadn't accomplished since Sept. 8, 2009.
They also managed to go deep in back-to-back-to-back at-bats for the first time since Aug. 13 of last season.
But the impression left behind in the Sox' 10-4 win over the Orioles encompassed much more than just the litany of long balls. It was also about the who and the how.
"That's a tough one," Red Sox captain Jason Varitek said when asked which of the home runs were most impressive. "I'm saying a tie."
Varitek's diplomacy was understandable. Many candidates, all deserving. Dustin Pedroia, Adrian Gonzalez, David Ortiz, Josh Reddick, Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Jacoby Ellsbury all left the park in the kind of impressive fashion that leads to the kind of postgame conversation that stretches just beyond the final score or the fact the Sox find themselves back in first place.
What the home runs did was pave the way for a poll.
A total of 19 members of the Red Sox organization were asked the question, "Which of the home runs was most impressive?" The results (discounting one tie):
Six votes: Reddick's blast to straightaway right field.
Four votes: Ortiz' home run to center field.
Four votes: Jacoby Ellsbury's pose-striking moon shot down the right-field line.
Three votes: Dustin Pedroia's homer onto the parking garage beyond the left-field wall.
One vote: Saltalamacchia finishing off the three straight homers with a shot into the Monster seats.
But despite the victory for Reddick, each home run offered a sense of significance. Certainly, the combined distance was impressive, but so were the circumstances that served as the foundation for each homer.
DUSTIN PEDROIA (418 feet)
"David's was nice, but Adrian was pretty impressive. On top of that, you have Pedey who swings at a pitch up here [at his head] and hits it across the street. Between them is tough. I'll go with Pedey. He hit a ball over his head." -- Saltalamacchia
"Pedroia, because it gave us the lead." -- Gonzalez
Pedroia hits a 3-1, 91 mph fastball from starter Jake Arrieta over the left field wall and onto the Landsdowne Street parking garage. Besides the three-run blast giving the Sox their first lead, the homer was notable for fact that it came off a pitch that was parallel with Pedroia's chin.
What we've seen of late is the Pedroia many expected all along. Since June 1, the second baseman is hitting .344 with a .456 on-base percentage and .566 slugging percentage.
He also has hit five homers during that span. In all, he has totaled a superior OPS to either Ortiz or Kevin Youkilis for the stretch, with no second baseman in the majors coming close to the 1.022 clip.
JACOBY ELLSBURY (405 feet)
"If you ask Pedey, he would say his was. The way Ellsbury's body language was, he had to hit it at least 550 feet. To get it out to center is a poke. If I have to pick one I have to go with our leadoff guy, Ells." -- Darnell McDonald
"It would be between Ellsbury and Reddick. Reddick crushed that. I have to go with Ellsbury." -- Ortiz
Ellsbury continued his power surge by increasing a career-high HR total by launching his 11th homer just inside the right-field foul pole. It was the outfielder's sixth-longest blast of the season, but sure seemed like his most prodigious.
In 2009, however, when he hit eight homers, the home run would have been his third-longest of the season.
It's no huge leap of faith to suggest Ellsbury is growing into his power potential.
"I just feel relaxed. Relaxed, I think that's the biggest thing at the plate," he said. "Just going out there with confidence, being relaxed and seeing the ball and having a solid approach. Having a solid approach and good balance usually result in good swings and good results."
ADRIAN GONZALEZ (421 feet)
While Gonzalez might have not garnered any votes for among those polled, plenty suggested that the first baseman should be a finalist for the owner of the most impressive home run.
The lefty hitter absolutely tore into an Arrieta 1-2 slider on the outside edge. Gonzalez' line drive appeared to still be rising when hitting off the center-field wall directly above the 379-foot marker.
The homer -- Gonzalez' 17th of the season -- was his longest of the season and first to center field since joining the Red Sox. (He has nine to left and eight to right.)
DAVID ORTIZ (424 feet)
"I'll go with Adrian's. Wait, David's was 400 feet. I'll take Ortiz because he's the captain of the Home Run Derby and that is the tiebreaker." -- Rich Hill
"Ortiz. Lefty on a lefty in center field. That was pretty good." -- Carl Crawford
Ortiz' homer was the longest of the night, and third-farthest for the Red Sox this season. But what truly punctuated the moment was the fact it was yet another hit against a left-hander.
Ortiz managed to turn around a 94 mph fastball from Baltimore reliever Pedro Viola in a hurry, sending the pitch over the center-field fence for the designated hitter's 145th Fenway Park bomb (tying Bobby Doerr for first place all-time at the Sox' home park).
Ortiz is hitting .326 against left-handers with four home runs. It was his first HR vs. a southpaw since May 31.
JOSH REDDICK (412 feet)
"Reddick. That was pretty far. He hit it the deep part of straightaway right field and it went over the fence by 70 or 80 feet." -- Dave Magadan.
"Reddick. It seemed like the farthest." -- Tim Bogar
It wouldn't seem the slightly built outfielder would be able to put the kind of punch behind a swing that would allow for the kind of blast he exhibited when reaching the right-field seats. But this homer was hardly an aberration.
All three of Reddick's big league homers have been 405 feet and beyond, with the 180-pounder having already hit 14 homers in just 52 games with the Pawtucket Red Sox this season.
What is truly noteworthy is the fact the homer came off a left-handed pitcher. After hitting just .200 vs. southpaws in Triple-A, Reddick is now 8-for-11 against lefties, with the home run serving as his first extra-base hit in such a situation.
JARROD SALTALAMACCHIA (388 feet)
"Salty, 0-2 count after two guys already hit it." -- Bobby Jenks
The catcher certainly can hit it farther -- having owned a 421-footer earlier this season -- but the circumstances were encouraging nonetheless.
With the pressure of following two straight homers staring at him in the face, along with an 0-2 count, Saltalamacchia adjusted to another left-hander trying to bury him inside. The backstop made Viola pay for not getting a 94 mph fastball in enough, putting the pitch in the second row of the seats atop the left-field wall.
It was a step in the right direction for Saltalamacchia, who was hitting just .198 with two strikes. With his two hits Thursday night, he now is hitting a season-high .257 while allowing the Sox' catching duo to trail just Detroit in terms of OPS for the position among all teams in the American League.

We stayed here for five days. The room has a good , neat and modern look.Very clean as well .Spacious washroom.The rooms are made up daily. The beach is just magnificent:the very reason we chose it, though it's little far from old city kelici .However, one can get there by taxi or local tranport. Breakfast was scrumptious, though they did not vary it a lot.Staff very helpful and courteous. In particular the guest relation officers will guide you eagerly for the main attraction. Only one thing we dislike was the restaurant, the prices were bit higher for dinner but no worries, one can find good eating places around the neighbourhood :-)
To summrize , we would sure like to stay here next time and recommend to friends and family.

There's not much that's new in News & Weather 2.1. This update is all about making the interface and animations consistent with other recently-Materialized apps. We've seen exactly three new things: one, the statusbar changes color to match the action bar on Lollipop, like an increasing number of Google apps. Two, the pull-to-refresh action uses the newfangled circular refresh animation instead of a horizontal bar. And three, the hamburger menu now animates into an arrow when the slide-out menu is activated.
Google's Finance app is in desperate need of attention. If you haven't checked in on it lately, it's still stuck with Gingerbread design. No seriously, go look. Tiny header bars, legacy menus, odd layouts, and assets that look tiny or pixelated (or both) on today's high resolution devices.
Just for fun, I decided to take a look at the app and see if I could give it a fresh coat of paint, inspired by material design.
Google Cloud Print has recently received a material redesign of its own. You would be forgiven for thinking that the printing service wasn't its own app, given how it's tucked away with your device's other settings. But when you do go to "add a printer," you are, in fact, kicked out to a different app.
It just doesn't look like it.
What's New
Cloud Print has gone Material. Everything's bright white, the sidebar slides out on top of the action bar, and the new color palette matches the settings menu in Android 5.0.
Humble Bundle offers great deals on apps and games, but it can be a little more work to make use of the content you buy. The Humble Bundle Android app has made it easier to access your stuff, but the app itself is going to be making itself scarce soon. Humble Bundle has announced it's pulling the app from the Play Store so it can add new features that are not welcome in Google's sandbox.
We saw a leak recently that showed off a new version of Google's Android Wear companion app, and now here it is. The design is certainly more in-line with Android 5.0 aesthetics, but it's not quite material. Also, you'll only get the new UI on Lollipop.
Left: Old, Right: New
Cross one more item off your list of Google apps in need of material facelifts! Next on this bountiful Update Wednesday, Google Keep is receiving a bump to version 3.0 with some new material-inspired touches, the most obvious one being its launcher icon. Instead of a realistic stack of sticky notes, we now have a single dog-eared sheet of paper with a lightbulb cutout sitting on top.
Once you're inside the app, there's plenty to look at.
The Google Search app is about to get the Material Design treatment. In a blog post today, Google has officially announced version 4.0 of Search, which we detailed (APK download included) nearly a month ago.
To refresh, the visual changes aren't all that drastic. Google Now already relied on cards, and swiping them away already felt pretty tangible. But now we have the extra layer of Lollipop-style flourish.
Guys, it's happening (....gif). The rumored YouTube music service that we've been hearing about for months is finally a reality. It's called YouTube Music Key, and it looks pretty great.
So here's the gist: it'll cost $7.99 a month (initially, at least - the price will eventually jump to $9.99), and includes full albums, background playback, offline viewing, and no ads. No ads. It's worth eight bucks a month just to get rid of the ads.
A new Google app that allows you to text your friends? Wait, is this replacing Hangouts? Wait, why? Yes, no, and because, to answer those queries, respectively. Google Messenger is now out on the Play Store, having been officially confirmed to exist by Google last month.
This new app is the stock SMS/MMS handler in Android 5.0, but also can be downloaded to other devices with SMS/MMS capabilities, provided they run Android 4.1 or higher.

South Bridge Road from Hong Lim Park. These buildings have not changed much for a century. The main white building, if I am not mistaken, was a famous shop selling winter clothings for Singaporeans going overseas. Photo taken at a moment when there were very few cars on the road. An unusual quiet moment on a busy road.

So how? Only the smallest player many nations perceived as arrogant is shutting foul... and that's after it stood on the side of the ousted Thaksin...
This is real politics, Reddie... not ideology...

Hypocrisy is the ball game of politicians, redbean. Take off those rose-tinted blinkers and see the world in all its gory.

No, you're still living in a Alice in Wonderland-world where politicians are actually say what they mean and keep their promises, where governments act in the best interests of the people who voted them in. That doesn't happen in the real world.

even when we know that the truth is far from the truth, we also know that politicians will make promises during election time.
even if we know that all promises may not be fulfilled, it is still important to remind politicians of their empty promises.
it may be banging your head against a wall. but it will also pull out all the hypocricies for display.

The hypocrites are on display everytime there is a "Today in Parliament" segment after prime time news. You really think they give a damn ? I wouldn't too if I was paid a handsome sum to talk cock sing song all day for a few weeks every few months.
