Charles Francis Richter , was an American seismologist and physicist. Richter is most famous as the creator of the Richter magnitude scale which, until the development of the moment magnitude scale in 1979, quantified the size of earthquakes. Inspired by Kiyoo Wadati's 1928 paper on shallow and deep earthquakes, Richter first used the scale in 1935 after developing it in collaboration with Beno Gutenberg; both worked at California Institute of Technology, California, USA. The quote "logarithmic plots are a device of the devil" is attributed to Richter.

"Don't wait for extraordinary circumstance to do good; try to use ordinary situations."
Charles Richter
"Lately there have been complaints that the use of the magnitude scale is confusing, or at least the reporting of magnitudes in the newspapers 'confuses the public."

Printing Office gives IRS shelter from the storm The Government Printing Office took in 35 Internal Revenue Service employees in Washington, D.C., after a deluge resembling the biblical flood displaced them. The IRS headquarters may be closed for as long as a month while workers clean up a flooded basement, collapsed windows and damaged computers.
GPO officials released a statement in which they offered "free" temporary office space to the IRS Media and Publications Division staff.
"Like the IRS, the GPO has to maintain a service to the American people," said U.S. Public Printer Bruce James. "We are happy we can help one of our customer agencies assure their business is secure and operations continue unaffected during this challenging time."
FCW in the news We heard from a little birdie that at an Office of Personnel Management panel on security clearance processes, Kathy Dillaman, associate director of investigations at OPM's Federal Investigative Services, told a group of contractors and federal security officials July 11 that the agency convened the panel partly because of little old us.
"The idea for this came two weeks ago, [when] we read the results of the survey conducted in Federal Computer Week magazine," she said.
In perusing FCW, a few things hit her:
1. There's information out there.
2. There's some bad information out there.
3. There's also an opportunity to bring together contractors and federal security officials, who have a lot of information to share.
4. There's no doubt that contractors and federal security officials have a lot to share.
Smithsonian partners with PhotoStamps to archive citizen postal art Federal employees, next time you whip out the camera phone for a candid shot of your boss at the holiday office party, save it.
PhotoStamps, a service that lets customers customize legal stamps by submitting digital photos, is starting a contest in which the best stamps will be preserved at the Smithsonian Institution's National Postal Museum in Washington, D.C., as part of history, of course.
In August 2007, the Smithsonian will display the top three designs of the year in the museum's collection. If you order a sheet of PhotoStamps, your image is automatically entered into the competition.
Even if you don't win, you don't lose. You can use the stamps for holiday cards.
Supercomputer scans for potential risks aboard Discovery NASA supercomputer Columbia, named in memory of the crew that died in the 2003 Columbia space shuttle disaster, is now on call to support astronauts on the Discovery space shuttle.
Columbia has assessed images of debris that affected the shuttle during its ascent. If necessary, NASA workers will add data from launch camera images, radar and in-flight inspections to the Columbia's models.
"The Columbia supercomputer is playing a major role in assisting the Discovery mission in real time," said Eugene Tu, director of the Exploration Technology Directorate at NASA's Ames Research Center at Moffett Field, Calif., which houses Columbia. "So far, so good," he said.
The Columbia system is ranked fourth on the Top 500 list of the world's fastest computers.
Hey Fort Myers, nice angles The commercial real estate industry has presented the U.S. Courthouse government building in Fort Myers, Fla., with The Office Building of the Year (TOBY) Award. The structure, which is managed by the General Services Administration, earned the nod for its eco-friendliness and nice angles.
Late last month, industry experts from the Building Owners and Managers Association honored 15 North American properties with TOBYs for excellence in categories such as energy conservation, accessibility for people with disabilities and evacuation procedures.
The courthouse's recycling efforts and indoor air quality drew positive remarks. Other building inspectors were in awe of the decor. "Love the vending machines and gym," notes one judging sheet.
But three of the four judges wanted more details about the building's evacuation procedures, especially for hurricanes.

1.08- Idle Hands
So, this update was mainly a house cleaning update, we added a new menu that we will build on over time that allows you to disable any features that are getting in your way (sound, earthquake, boulder, etc). Over time, we will build each of the items into categoires so we can swap the boulder with some other island hazard, or swap the shark with something else like a sea monster. there has been some debate about the location of the button that opens the menu, so it would be great if you post your opinions when it comes out (like there is a chance that you won't ).
The other main update was to add gravity to all the other objects on the island, so the boulder, shark, and coconut all get affected by the tilt controls. and we fixed a bunch of the bugs that have been posted as well. btw, it really helps us when you find and post bugs for us, we keep a list of items and fix them whenever possible."
Check out what people are saying and what else Dave had to say at:
39 comments:
Two small bugs that I have found:
When you turn the little world upside-down and manage to get an islander to hang on...
Shake to cause an earthquake while the iPod is still upside down.
This will allow the islanders to get back on their feet...even with the gravity reversed.
The shark can't seem to latch onto a sleeping islander's head.
(Or an islander that is hanging on when gravity is reversed, but this update with the shark being affected by gravity should fix that)
Thanks so much guys!
Love the app.
Some things that I'd love to see include:
-Customizable people.
-More positive things!
-Friendly/Carnivorous Animals that roam the island.
-A pinch-to-size feature that allows a bigger island and more play space.
-Islanders fight each other for things such as food.
-Hut that the islanders can hide in. (But of course...being god, you can rip this hut from the ground)
-Some sort of upgrade system that allows for cooler features. (i.e. if you kill 200 islanders, get a pole that the islanders can hunt fish with)Jubakuba has some great feature requests..
- Like he said, give the little guys some personality... have them do random funny stuff on their own like fishing or building a huts or fires... all the while making them interactive... like I can disturb them and make them made. :)
- Add random scenes you can invoke (like dropping 1 coconut and the islanders fight for it). On the flip side, if you feed them they praise you, the god.
- When you make it rain, have them run under the tree.
- If you drop the shark on the island, let him flop around and have islanders poke at him or push him in the water...
- Make screen scrollable and add a second island so you can add a different tribe... Maybe have tribes fight or communicate with each other..
This game reminds me of the old "Johnny Castaway" screensaver from the early 90s.
There are some great ideas in Johnny Castaway that you could employ in this application!
I think this program could go in many directions based on the whole "god" concept both in cruel and nice ways.
- How about special holiday events that occur on the actual real life date like on Halloween they wear masks or something funny.Hey. yes we're taking steps to giving the islanders some random behaviors. right now there are just 5 or 6 extra things they do, but of course its expandable. This will be available in the next update along with the new menu system. The stat/scoring update is taking us a bit of time so won't make it in the this or next update, so just to keep things interesting, in next update we are doing something a little different...but as a hint, the meteor/eclipse idea is being used!
ReplyDeleteThe eclipse idea sounds really cool, and all the emotions are cool. I like when an islander gets eaten by the shark and a close islander looks worried. Go try it.
Also, i dont know if you are doing this with the new update and all the sound, but disabling the vibration function would be a good idea too.
I cant tell you how many times i sit in the last 5 minutes of a silent class and the vibration of my iPhone is like gunfire.
That would be cool and keep up the amazing work!
You're number one! (literally!)
And congrats, its been about a week ro so right? =) You deserve it!!!I love this app guys. Bolt Creative please listen. I've got some super AWESOME ideas. Hows bout there should be a globe you can rotate. You can click on any island then there will be some Spanish islanders who look Spanish. Also Chinese islanders who look Chinese. You should also be able to make your own island and customize it, and make your own islanders, give em clothes change their skin and name them etc.. More natural disasters please. Thank you for listening please take this all in. From a nerd who loves your app to bits.
ReplyDeleteSuper awesome, I'm cool with what ever you give us. but i really hope that you guys make tapping the sun twice and making it hurl fireballs at the islanders would be thuuperr :P
most games don't really keep my interest but... holy crap did this do the job. thank you guys! will play 96% of the time on the way down to vacation :DA couple of ideas
-Make different weather changes (snow,hail,rain,etc)
-Make a jail or some room that you can put them in just to see them try to break out
-Make different clothes and features to customize the islanders
-Expand the island size
-Make another island for a territory war
-Make a tornado feature where when you circle your finger on the screen a mini tornado appears and takes the islanders in a little funnelI think you should make the island bigger, then other tribes could try and take over the island, but being god you could watch or intervene and protect the island by doing the same thin to your islanders( like throw them in volcanos or feed the shark) you could toggle this feature on or off to have something to do, or keep it sweet and simple.
ReplyDeletehello pocketgod makers I just want to suggest some Ideas to you for pocketgod(my favorite app) 1. Is to make it so that you can have dofferent islands and you can name each of the Islands then you can choose if you want a tiki island a modern island a future island ect. I heave plenty more Ideas but this is all I had time for because it's time for dinner sincerelys Zapper
ReplyDeletehey guys i just ate some pizza and I just got some more ideas
since you have godly powers maybe you could summon some type of creepy animals or monsters
maybe you could design what you as a god looks like
maybe you could design your tiki guys who come from the sky
just a plain idea is to be able to have more tiki guys
well I dont know how but I ran out of ideas so yea by and by the way im Andrew not zapper I dont know y i put that beforeI got some more ideas
zoom in anywhere
put tiki people in the tree
make the tiki people get hungry
make different islands such as warrior people islands stranded people islands ect.
make it so you can fight with other peoples islands
make a catupult to launch the little people and run them over withI've also noticed a bug involving the islanders holding on and the boulder falling back down when the ipod is set back in the upright position. For me this cause an islander to do the "squished" animation and after moving the boulder he would not move and was not interactable at all from this point on but was stuck there and would not move no matter what extra was used on him. i.e. volcano, boulder, shark, lightning, ect. Idk if this is a rare bug but it happened this time and I've replicated it if I try to but other than that the finding was accidental
ReplyDeleteI had a great idea you should make in each upgrade you unlock things, say tasks or something and you can upgrade your island soon to be the future. start with maybe two diferent islands over time they can build boats visit interact even make them argue and start a war each upgrade can include inventions from now like using wind power as a kite then putting a metel part on it create electricity and build a light bulb. include all that then after making it till the present then start to design future things then find another tribe where you started build schools educate them. please consider the idea then mess around with it as you will thanks, Nick P.S. make there some girls on the island so its not all guys

I was originally looking at a grinder at ***** for a few dollars less. What turned me on about this grinder was the tool rests. The Overall machine is over 2 inches wider, giving you more room to work with, and the tool rests are at least twice, if not three times the size and strength! I also like how the craftsman grinder light function can be turned on even with the grinder off. The quench tray is also more than double in size. Finally, What really sold me, was the drill bit groove is a separate plate! Loosen the screw, turn it down 90 degrees and tighten it back up. I couldn't stand being stuck with a permanent 60 degree v-groove. I have only found a couple little things I would change about the unit. The wheel housing/ guard is comparable to other brands, weak in design. The tool rests to bolt to a bracket that bolts to this housing (as all grinders do) but since the material is thinner than I'd desire, it seems to give a little flex to the tool rests. Its not near as bad as other similar priced grinders, but not adequately better either. and I removed the cheap wheel dresser and holder as it got in the way of my light. Yes I did have the vibration issue that everyone seems to have, and yes, the grind wheel was slightly out of round, but that is not what causes the vibration. I removed the wire wheel and ran it with one wheel (even being out of round) and had ZERO vibration just sitting freely on the bench. I bought a very cheap $6.00 8" grind wheel to test my theory and guess what... ZERO vibration (with two out of round wheels). The cheap fine wire bristle wheel that comes with it tends to smack the wires against the housing a little, is out of round, and created a wind turbulence and/or harmonic that creates the vibration. Even a high end stiff wire wheel adds to grinder vibration (just not as bad as this stock one). I wish there 4 mounting holes but there are only two. Bolt the grinder to a heavy pedestal or bench, or don't use (or purchase a better) wire wheel. All in all, this is a great grinder. Im used to using Jet and Dayton grinders at work and this one will run neck and neck with those higher end brands. I couldn't be happier, and never write reviews but just had to on this one. Hope this helps set the record straight for future buyers on the vibration issue. Happy Grinding!
The inner diameter of the wheel washers are .022" too large for the shaft size. They are stamped and are the two surfaces are not flat on both washers. This is simply points out a lack of understanding of rotaing equipment, poor design, and less than quality manufacturing standards. If you have one that operates smoothly, I do not recommend you attempt to change grinding wheels. Be happy with what you have. If you must change to wire wheels and/or buffing pads they are far more tolerant of miss-alignments and should offer you less risk for wobble and sever vibrations. I have two older craftsmen grinders that do not demonstrate any of these design and manufacturing flaws. They have offered me years of great service. I wish I could purchase two more grinders of that quailty in the Craftsman brand.
Worked great out of the box - had minor assembly to do. I think the 'slideable' rests are designed poorly, or I would have given it 5 Stars - the slides are completely 'out' (towards you) and barely clear the grinding wheel or brush...understood that there needs to be a 'minimal gap' (1/8" according to OSHA) but it does not allow for a larger gap IF someone needed to do that - you would need to remove one of the adjustment screws of the slide-mount to do that...perhaps they did that on purpose but I think it could be better. The machine is balanced and does not overly vibrate at any speed. Great tool!
the 8" grinder has many bells and whistles even a groove slot for sharpening drill bits. The best thing though is when its on, there is no vibration and it makes very little noise. Catch it on sale.
this thing works great!! every time I need it, flip the switch and your on your way
Bought grinder to upgrade my old unit - vibrated badly! Replaced wire wheel with Dewalt (DW4906) from **** - problem solved. Very nice machine (now).
The motor is powerful enough to take on the toughest jobs. The wire brush gives versatility to the projects at home.
This is pricier than the competing grinders at the big box stores but after comparing them in-store I decided the Craftsman is of a better quality in both build and materials. I'm a woodworker but I didn't buy this to sharpen tools (I have a Worksharp WS-3000). Instead I was going off the advice that a bench grinder is a tool that you got by without until you own one and then you'll never go without it. I found this to be true. I find all kinds of reasons to abuse this machine and use it for solutions I wouldn't have arrived at without owning this tool.

We went to Fantasy Fest this year and I really was hoping that my wife would expose herself for the day, actually 2 days. I was blown away when she wore these costumes which completely showed her pussy. I was in heaven as 1000's of onlookers took pictures. It really was exhilarating as we strolled down Deval Street. Oh by the way...The local police were busting girls with full frontal nudity so we had to sneak past the cops many times during the day and evening. We got away with it so I hope you all enjoy and get vicarious pleasure through our naughtiness!!!

Aberdeen is the most cost-effective town in Britain for buying property compared to renting, according to new figures from Zoopla.
Over a seven year period, the average property owner in Aberdeen can expect to be £99,040 better off compared to the equivalent renter, says the property website. The average property price in Aberdeen is £206,060 with average monthly rents at £1,275.
However, a typical London renter would be £82,412 better off than a buyer with a 10 per cent deposit of an equivalent property. It would take 18 years for a London buyer with this sized deposit to begin to be financially better off than the renter. Bournemouth is the second most renter-friendly town in Britain, with average asking prices of £380,206 and average rents of £1,024.
Lawrence Hall of Zoopla.co.uk said: "Despite taking longer to be better off financially, London remains the holy grail in terms of property investment. It is much more buyer-friendly outside the capital but with rising average prices and low savings rates, accumulating a deposit has become increasingly difficult. It is important to remember that while renters may be better off in the short to medium term in some areas of the country, buyers are making a long-term investment. With most buyers opting for mortgage terms of 25 years, over the long term, buyers are likely to be better off compared to those who choose to rent."
Overall, the top five locations for buying were Aberdeen, Dundee, Glasgow, Cambridge and Edinburgh. The top five for renting were London, Bournemouth, Huddersfield, Bedford and Swansea.

Fat-wash did the trick for Patio on Goldfinch's Sheer Determination
The concoction has less to do with pigskins or gridirons than with making a cocktail using coconut water.
Joseph O'Brien 4 p.m., March 29
Why should the City of San Diego pay for some expensive sidewalk study when it can just rely on the increasing number of lawsuits filed by pedestrians injured on San Diego's fractured and faulting sidewalks.
On June 5, Lily Mata filed suit against the City and San Diego Unified School District after getting tripped up on a uneven sidewalk in front of Kit Carson Elementary in Linda Vista in March of this year.
In her lawsuit, Mata claims that she encountered a sidewalk littered with debris, a "non-trivial ledge, height differential separating parts of the curbing."
"Plaintiff was injured in her health, strength, and activities, and sustained serious personal injury, and as a legal result of those injuries, incurred in the past and will incur in the future the expense of medical, nursing, physical therapy, dental, convalescent, hospice, and other treatment and care for those injuries; has suffered the temporary or permanent, partial or full, past and future loss of wages, earnings and earning ability..."
San Diego's sidewalks have been a divisive topic as of late. The issue has gained media attention in the form of a photo blog from Voice of San Diego. We covered the issue of dangerous sidewalk conditions in San Ysidro back in 2011.
In that article, 64-year old amputee Juan Mariscal lamented the difficulty he had using a wheelchair to get from place to place in his community.
"I couldn't go anywhere," he says in a thick Mexican accent. "I couldn't roll the chair on the sidewalks. Too many bumps and cracks. Many places there are no sidewalks and you have to use the street." Mariscal worries that doctors might have to amputate his other leg. If they do, he will be back in a wheelchair.
"It's disappointing," he says. "[The City] puts money where the rich live, but they forget about the poor communities like San Ysidro. Not all of us can afford electric wheelchairs. And that's what you need to get around here because of the sidewalks. I can't stay at home and do nothing. I'm not ashamed of being in the chair. I'm ashamed that my wife has to push me. It makes me look weak."
As of late, councilmember Mark Kersey has lobbied the Mayor to appropriate $1 million for a citywide sidewalk study.
In the meantime, more lawsuits are likely to come. Click on the link below to read the latest:
Nobody knows the amount the City of San Diego spends on planning, traffic studies, engineering studies, consultants which do not lead to any action, much less construction. Maybe they could do a study to see how much they spend on studies. Then, they could set aside a percentage of that to repair the sidewalks, and the problem would soon be solved.
$1 million for a study? Why do we always have to study something that is so obvious? Just get out there and fix them with that million dollars.
However, if you want a study, I'll do the study. I'll document everything with pictures, too. I believe it will take me six months at 12 hours a day, so I'll need $96,000 up front to do the whole City of San Diego. Once I'm finished and everyone sees the quality of my work, I'll be able to hire myself out to other cities in San Diego County! Maybe by the time I die I'll get to one million dollars for all these sidewalk studies!

For the first time in the history of the LG Cup, there are no Koreans in the quarter final line-up. Korean fans were left in shock after Tuo Jiaxi 3P (left) knocked out Lee Sedol 9P (right) in a game with a very unusual opening. Japan continued the charge through the draw, with two of the Japanese players, Iyama Yuta 9P and Takao Shinji 9P, making it through, while Kono Rin 9P was defeated by Chen Yaoye 9P. This is the first time Japanese players have made it through to the quarter finals of the LG Cup since 2008, when Kono Rin did so. If Iyama or Takao manages to win the 18th LG Cup, it will be Japan's first victory in this tournament since O Rissei (who was born in Taiwan) won it in 1998. There are six Chinese players still in the draw. The most notable is Li Zhe 6P, who is making an amazing comeback from his sabbatical, storming his way to the quarter final. Chen, Tuo and Li will be joined by their countrymen, Zhou Ruiyang 9P, Li Qincheng 1P and Xia Chenkun 2P. The two youngsters, Xia Chenkun and Li Qincheng, could turn out to be the dark horses in this competition, as China has some frighteningly strong children coming through the ranks. Though the quarter finals and semifinals will not take place until November, Japanese finalists Iyama and Takao will duel it out in the fourth game of the Honinbo on June 17 and 18. Meanwhile, Chinese finalist Chen Yaoye will compete against defending champion Lee Sedol on the international front at the Chunlan Cup also on June 17.

In this paper the linkages existing between the interest rates within the European Union countries are assessed, to discover if the Exchange Rate Mechanism has led to a converging process. This hypothesis is tested using the uncovered interest rate parity relative to the Maastricht Treaty's interest rate criterion. The obtained results allow classification of the European countries from the point of view of the degree of convergence already achieved. The techniques used are unit roots, allowing for endogenously determined changes in the deterministic trends of the data, as well as the Kalman filter, which permits the convergence path of the series to be followed.

Continuing Claims Drop First Time In 21 Weeks. Is This Worth Getting Excited Over?
Mish Moved to MishTalk.Com Click to Visit.
Unless this is another headfake, the string of 21 consecutive weeks of higher continuing claims ended today. Interestingly, the 4-week moving average of continuing claims actually rose.
Previously I reported the streak ended at 17 unless the numbers were revised, but revised they were.
With that backdrop, please consider the Department of Labor Weekly Claims Report.
Seasonally Adjusted DataWeekly Claims
In the week ending June 13, the advance figure for seasonally adjusted initial claims was 608,000, an increase of 3,000 from the previous week's revised figure of 605,000. The 4-week moving average was 615,750, a decrease of 7,000 from the previous week's revised average of 622,750.
The advance seasonally adjusted insured unemployment rate was 5.0 percent for the week ending June 6, a decrease of 0.1 percentage point from the prior week's unrevised rate of 5.1 percent.
The advance number for seasonally adjusted insured unemployment during the week ending June 6 was 6,687,000, a decrease of 148,000 from the preceding week's revised level of 6,835,000. The 4-week moving average was 6,757,500, an increase of 2,250 from the preceding week's revised average of 6,755,250.
click on chart for sharper image
For six weeks I have been saying the dip in initial claims from the March peak of roughly 650,000 is not accelerating very fast, if indeed at all.
In three months the 4-week moving average of initial claims has gained roughly 35,000 jobs. For the sake of argument let's call it 15,000 jobs per month. At that rate it will take another 4 months just to get to where we were a year ago and those were God awful numbers at 381,500 claims a week.
Of course things might speed up significantly, then again I was reasonably generous with the initial rate of improvement.
The Reality
Yahoo Finance is reporting Jobless benefit rolls post first dip since January.
The number of people receiving unemployment aid fell by 148,000 to 6.69 million in the week that ended June 6 -- the largest drop in more than seven years. The decline broke a string of 21 straight increases in the number of people claiming benefits for more than a week, the last 19 of which were records. (A dip in continuing claims several weeks ago was later revised higher.)Given that the proportion of recipients who used up their jobless benefits topped a monstrous 49 percent, the continuing claims number going forward will be essentially meaningless. Indeed, the primary reason we set these records in the first place is that many states extended benefits.
On the surface, the government seemed to signal Thursday that more Americans are finding jobs: The number of people receiving unemployment aid fell for the first time since early January.
But that doesn't necessarily mean more companies are hiring.
Fewer people are receiving jobless aid largely because more of them have exhausted their standard unemployment benefits, which typically last 26 weeks. Government figures, in fact, show the proportion of recipients who used up their jobless benefits in May topped 49 percent, a monthly record.
Looking ahead, expect the administration to highlight the huge drop in continuing claims as if it means something necessarily good. It doesn't. The drop in continuing claims means more home foreclosures and credit card defaults are coming because 49% of those who were receiving benefits now have no money coming in at all.
Finally, The drop in initial claims is insignificant in relation to the problem. Beware of future spin on meaningless "improvements" because it is coming.

Thanks Blindpete
Wow !! Thanks Lollypop000
Very much appreciated - I will install and check it out later today
Thanks again
Installed and works almost perfectly. Only glich is a message "mobilenavigator.exe encountered a serious error and must shut down"", after I press the restart button, but it still restarts, so I can live with the message each time
(Note: I installed Primo on a C50 Navig[8]r 5" and had to change the Primo.exe file to mobilenavigator.exe so it would operate)
Thanks again for your efforts

... thanks Korabi, works fine on my HD2
mobilenavigator.exe errors may sometimes caused by file malfunction, which means that the MobileNavigator.exe file is either corrupted/damaged or missing from the device, for example, deleted accidentally by computer users without notice, or removed/damaged by virus or malware, therefore devices generates error while it call for the file, but if you can replace the problematic file with a new and functional copy, it could most likely help you fix the error.
change the mobilenavigator.exe in your device .what version of igo Uses?

Posted: 25 Feb 2012 03:42 PM PST MWC is here folks and the information seeping through the cracks have gone from leaks to downpours. After previously seeing some leaks, we now have (unofficial) details of HTC's upcoming powerhouses. The One X (Endeavor) is slated to feature a quad-core processor (there are disputes as to whether it's a 1GHz or 1.5GHz clocked speed), a beastly 4.7-inch screen, an 8MP camera and 32GB of storage. The One S (Ville) will feature a 1GHz dual-core processor, 4.7-inch display and 16GB of storage. Both devices will naturally feature Android 4.0 running the show, with perhaps the topping of the new Sense UI. Pricing for both devices look they'll be at a premium. The One X is listed at a price of €699.90 ($1,100 US) and the One S is at €599.90 ($944). As with any leaks and rumors, please understand that this information is by no means 100% accurate. But hey, at least we'll find out about these two devices soon enough.

Posted: 25 Feb 2012 03:09 PM PST We may not be seeing the Samsung Galaxy SIII at MWC next week, but we know it's very much real and on its way. BGR reports that Samsung will not be launching the device in phases as it was done with the Galaxy SII. The Galaxy SIII will launch in 50 markets simultaneously around the globe, meaning those of us here in the States likely won't have to wait 6 months after the initial launch as we previously saw with the Galaxy SII. Moreover, in addition to the sexy thin profile and waterproof design the SIII will likely have, it will feature a 4.8-inch screen, meaning it will likely be the perfect compliment to Android 4.0 and an HD display that was previously rumored about the device. Oh and the back of the phone will be made of ceramic, not the glossy plastic we're accustomed to. If you thought the Galaxy SII was a major breakthrough in smartphone design, the Galaxy SIII is ready to raise the bar even higher. Stay tuned with Talk Android for any future updates or developments in the Galaxy SIII saga. source: BGR Visit TalkAndroid for Android news, Android guides, and much more! |
Posted: 25 Feb 2012 08:47 AM PST Score one for the little guys. AT&T's controversial "unlimited" data plan has made some noise in recent weeks. Since announcing they would begin reducing speeds for certain customers with the coveted unlimited data plan last year, it had since gotten an immense amount of criticism from many customers and even the media. After all, how can AT&T throttle data speeds for unlimited customers who pay the exact same a comparable amount to those who are on a tiered data (3GB/month) plan. Of course AT&T thinks its policies aren't that bad, but one customer believes the policies are atrocious and had enough, so he decided to fight back. AT&T customer Matt Spaccarelli decided to take action by taking AT&T to small claims court. He has the unlimited data plan and was being throttled by AT&T. He also contends his data speeds were being throttled, despite only using 1.5GB to 2GB of data per month and using by doing some thorough research, laid his claims and arguments before a judge arguing what AT&T is doing is wrong. AT&T countered by highlighting it is free to change the terms of its contracts or even end them outright, if it decided that the subscriber was causing adverse network usage. Judge Russell Nadel accepted the argument of Spaccarelli and granted him victory. Spaccarelli was awarded $850 which will go towards the remainder of his contract— or about $85 for 10 months. Let this be a lesson for AT&T: customers aren't happy and they're willing to do something about your business practices. As an AT&T unlimited data customer myself and the victim of a threatening "text message warning" about my data usage, I can't help but feel justice for all of us who are bullied by Ma Bell. Let's hope it gets its act together, otherwise it will continue to lose support and ultimately customers.

Posted: 25 Feb 2012 05:17 AM PST "What exactly is a Micro App Store" I hear you cry. Well it's pretty much as it sounds, an app store that brings you micro apps for your micro device, specifically the WIMM One Android watch. The WIMM One boasts a 667MHz ARM processor with 256MB RAM and 2GB internal storage. There's bluetooth and wireless connectivity as well as an accelerometer, GPS module and compass on board. The micro device weighs only 22g and measures in at 32 x 36 x 12.5mm, despite the tiny dimensions it manages to cram in a 1.41″, 160 x 160 capacitive touch screen. Impressive tech-specs are simply the first step to success, without top notch developer support the specifications may well count for nothing and that's where the Micro App Store comes into play. Similar to the Android Market website, WIMM's store pushes the selected app from the web directly to the WIMM One watch. At the time of posting there are around 25 applications ready for download with the promise of many more to come. There's no infrastructure for paid apps just yet so perhaps it's the ideal to time to fill your boots with some free apps. It seems that the mobile device size wars go round in cycles. In the days of the Nokia 8310 it was all about being the smallest, then the original RAZR arrived on the scene and thin was in, now with the 4.65″ Galaxy Nexus and 5.3″ Galaxy Note hitting the headlines, the current trend is all about being the biggest. Is 2012 set to be the year when we arrive full circle as we see the rise of the tiny, smart watches? We had a false dawn in 2010 with the, innovative but flawed, Sony Ericsson LiveView but this year is set to be more promising with Motorola's MotoActv, the stylish i'mWatch and Sony's forthcoming SmartWatch all hitting the market. Check out the link for full details on the WIMM Micro App Store and be sure to let us know if you're planning on picking up a smart watch this year in the comments below. source : WIMM LABS Visit TalkAndroid for Android news, Android guides, and much more! |
Posted: 25 Feb 2012 04:15 AM PST We brought you some hands-on time with the X10 at the CES in January and we also broke the news that the X10 was on sale in the UK (albeit badged as the AT200). Today we can tell you that Toshiba's super-slim, Android powerhouse has arrived on the Future Shop website, available for pre-order. The Excite X10 runs Android Honeycomb 3.2 and although Toshiba has confirmed that an ICS update is in the works, there's no word yet on when it will land. In the engine room is a 1.2 Ghz TI OMAP 4430 processor backed up with 1GB RAM. At a mere 7.7mm, the X10 claims to be the slimmest tablet on the market and packs a 10.1″, 1280 x 800 IPS display. There's a 5MP rear camera and 2MP front camera to take care of your imaging needs. Pre-order pricing is set at $550 for the 16GB model and $600 for the 32GB model. source : future shop Visit TalkAndroid for Android news, Android guides, and much more! |
Posted: 25 Feb 2012 12:47 AM PST In an effort to give customers a window into all that is HTC, the company has unveiled its new public blog. In a post about Mobile World Congress, HTC Director of Digital Marketing John Starkweather teases us with a picture of some bubble-wrapped devices he calls "something amazing". What do you think? Does this look like a box full of HTC One V's, HTC One S's or HTC One X's? He also posted a picture of HTC's MWC room setup. HTC's MWC press conference starts Sunday. What are you most looking forward to them unwrapping? source: htcblog Visit TalkAndroid for Android news, Android guides, and much more! |
Posted: 24 Feb 2012 11:59 PM PST Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably played one of the many iterations of Rovio's extremely popular Angry Birds games. The Finnish company has been very successful marketing this game on all platforms, and merchandising the heck out of the game's lovable birds and pigs. They've been in movie talks and even teamed up with Korean police to help combat bullying. These little guys are literally everywhere… except, apparently, in Rovio's next game. In a recent interview, Rovio CEO Mikael Hed spilled the beans that they are working on a new game that is not an Angry Birds spinoff, and it will be out "in a couple of months". That's pretty much all he said about it, so no further details are known at this time. Let's hope the new game's characters are as lovable and merchandisable as these birds are. I'd expect nothing less from Rovio. Visit TalkAndroid for Android news, Android guides, and much more! |
Posted: 24 Feb 2012 11:11 PM PST The folks at Concept-Phones got their hands on a picture of what is rumored to be the Xperia Play 2, Sony's follow-up to the Playstation-certified, PSP-like Xperia Play. It is unsure whether this image is a concept render or the real thing. Heck, could be a fake for all we know, but it does look fairly legit. Have a look below and decide for yourself. It's interesting to note that this image shows the older four-capacitive-button style instead of the newer ICS style which contains only three buttons. Is this an old render? Will it be running ICS? Your guess is as good as mine. The gaming buttons are laid out exactly like the original Xperia Play, but this version contains the transparent notification bar, similar to the Xperia S. The source also provided some specs:
Anyone looking forward to an updated Xperia Play? source: concept-phones via: androidspin Visit TalkAndroid for Android news, Android guides, and much more! |
Posted: 24 Feb 2012 10:24 PM PST I've got some bummer news for those of you who were hoping on seeing Boarderlands 2 make its way to Android in the future. Trust me, I don't deliver this news in vain because all of us here at Talk Android were super stoked to see what it would look like running on a Tegra 3 Android tablet, but now unfortunately it looks like we will never get the chance. According to a statement released by Gearbox Software, the tablet in the demo video we witnessed was only used for the presentation purposes and they have no intention on releasing it on Android. Here's what they had to say to Android and Me about the confusion: The news out of PLXLAN is unfounded and Gearbox Software is not developing Borderlands 2 for Android. Per our press release on Wednesday, Borderlands 2 will be available on September 18 for PS3, Xbox 360 and Windows PC. As you know, the new trailer went viral yesterday and has nearly 1 million views as of today – it's likely what was being shown at PLXLAN on a tablet. Hope this clears up any confusion, please feel free to update your readers.Well there goes that idea I guess. Maybe it's nothing that some constant nagging wouldn't fix. source: Android and Me Visit TalkAndroid for Android news, Android guides, and much more! |
Posted: 24 Feb 2012 09:19 PM PST Yes the Samsung Galaxy Note might just be the biggest thing right now, and I'm not just talking about size. This is one of those phones that really has everyone intrigued. No it's not for everyone, but just about everyone has a look of "wow" on their face when they see it for the first time. It looks like the loyal customers of Three UK are going to get rewarded soon because they just announced they plan to bring this beast to the lineup soon. They didn't announce any specific time frame or pricing, but we do know they will carry the white version. We are about to release our review of the U.S. version soon, but you can check out our hands on with some of the S Pen optimized apps as well as our quick overall hands on.

Secrets of Men who won't get married
Joan Jerkovich - October 22, 2013 4:31 pm
While the numbers of women who want to get married are going up, men are less likely to want to walk down the aisle. In the past 15 years the numbers of men who do not, or will not, get married has jumped six percent. More and more Men are opting out of marriage and women are asking why.
Ladies, here are the dirty little secrets of unmarried men~
Sex: Men today don't need to marry you to get sex! You know this is true, and I'm all for the equality of women, but the changing societal standards for premarital sex has backfired for women who want to move their relationships toward marriage.
Cohabitation: Another change in relationships over the years is the number of couples who opt to cohabitate versus get married. Couples who live together are not as frowned upon as they used to be so ladies, if you want to improve your chances of marriage, don't move in with the guy.
Serial Monogamy: It's easier for men today to have a girlfriend for a while, enjoy all the privileges of marriage without the civil contract, break up then find another new girlfriend than it is to go through a divorce.
Divorce: Multiple sources cite that the number one reason men don't want to get married is that either they themselves have been through a bad divorce or they have witnessed the grief, bad outcomes and money divorces have cost their buddies.
Bromance: Guys love to hang with the guys and they feel like a wife will keep them from this vital part of their social life.
Man-Cave: When men live alone their space is their own. They can hang their moose heads in the living room if they want. All too often when they get married they end up relegated to the unfinished room in the basement where they have to set up their man-cave to preserve their maledom.
Bigger Better Deal: These are the perpetual playboys who are always looking for something better. If they're dating a "9", they're on the prowl for that elusive "10". Expect age to slow these guys down because as they get older, dating really young women just categorizes them as "creepy old men".
Mammas Boys: Forget these guys. If they're still living in mommy's basement you wouldn't want to marry them anyway. They're already married to momma and there's no room at the Inn for you!
Die-hard Bachelors: These are the guys who have hit 50 and never been married. Don't get in to a relationship with them expecting marriage because, according to the research I did, it's probably never going to happen.
Listen to The Joan Jerkovich Show for a conversation with never married 42 year old John. Post your comments on why you think these men never marry!

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says he 'absolutely' would want his own child to play football
NEW ORLEANS — NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says he "absolutely" would want his own child to play football.
After President Barack Obama said he'd "have to think long and hard" about allowing a son to take part in the sport, Goodell was asked the same question hours before Sunday's Super Bowl during an interview on CBS's "Face the Nation."
Like the president, Goodell has two daughters. The commissioner deflected the question about allowing a son to play football by noting the high incidence of concussions in girls soccer.
Goodell declined to confirm that there is a proven connection between the sport and medical problems in retired players. He emphasized that the NFL is funding research to learn more about the risks.

Also shown during 'TRON Night,' it takes place shortly after Quorra delivers Sam from the game grid. Although there is quite a bit of footage between the two clips, this one jumps to the point where the two actually connect after being apart for so many years which have taken their toll hard on Kevin.

Starting pitchers - as in who actually started each game |
I've played in various rotisserie leagues (auction, redraft, and keeper) since 1991. Sometimes I cash - and sometimes I don`t; however, I have a ton of fun trying. And I particularly enjoy mathing this stuff out. Along the way, I`ve learned how to handle MySQL, PERL, and can do just about anything with EXCEL.
Winning in fantasy is all about getting information and making the right decisions more often than you make the wrong ones - while realizing that sometimes you make the right move and it doesn`t work. In the long run, it`s way better to make the right move that doesn`t work, than to make the wrong move that does.
I can't say enough good things about Retrosheet, Baseball-Reference, The Book, The Hardball Times, and Fangraphs (among others) for posting tons of information and ideas. Also, a big shout out to Joseph Adler for writing Baseball Hacks, and to Jim Albert and Max Marchi for writing Analyzing Baseball Data with R

succulent love
echeveria's in the gardens of The Getty in LA
What makes a plant a succulent? They have thick water storing juicy leaves or stems due to the dry environments in which they originate. If kept indoors they require the same environment. Little water in the winter months and lots of vital sunshine.
Now for some succulent finds...
indoor/outdoor concrete planter circle from tortoise loves donkey:

spider web hens and chicks by succulents galore:

I am smitten with the shop succulentLOVE and their blog:
I hope my love rubs off on you a little, especially in the gray of winter.
<3 Christina
hint of spring
it is overflowing with preserved blanca hydrangeas, buff cockscomb, indian canella berries, clusters of dusty miller and light blue echinops.
I am slowly bringing my shop back up to par. Admittedly, It has taken long because I am constantly distracted by my two under 3. In the midst of a photo shoot of my new design in the perfect lighting, I have helpers at my feet begging to be read Angelina Ballerina.
The sun will shine it's light in this spot again tomorrow, but Angelina has to go back to the library and my little girls always come before my flowers ;)
urban renewal
My sister Annie found it and brought me back with her because she knew I would love it. I thoroughly enjoyed rummaging through the findings and photographing my favorites:
Annie showed me these cute vintage baby hangers. LOVE THEM!:
we have a sister who lives in Montana, so I was attracted to this photograph:
my favorite find:
I persuaded my sister to purchase this old brownie camera. She is a photographer and I think it would make a fabulous decor item in her home.
urban renewal is now selling some of their items online! Check it out here.
i do indeed
I have been visiting family for a few weeks in the desert and red rock mountains of southern Utah. I stopped at a quaint vintage and handmade consinment shop in downtown St. George.
I was rummaging through some old post cards when the suited old man in this one caugh my eye:
I do indeed wish you a happy new year
I loved it and such perfect timing to find it two days before 2009 was gone forever. But when I examined it closely on the postage mark it was stamped Los Angeles (where I ended up celebrating my new years) December 3, 2:30pm 1909. Yes! That means it was sent by this jolly gent to a Mrs. JC Brawn, 1862 Winfield Ave, Los Angeles, California exactly 100 years ago to celebrate the new year of 1910.
and so from me (and my baby camila) to you:

Advertisement Dead Snow 2 picks up right where the first movie ends, and features the return of the aforementioned Nazi zombies. However, apparently Freaks and Geeks' Martin Starr is joining the movie, so that ain't bad.

The Twins have young stars Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau, players who should be fixtures at catcher and first base for many years. Their starting second baseman, Luis Castillo, has a contract that has vested for 2007. It is likely he will return for 2007 and probable that he may not return in 2008. The Twins have the option of moving Nick Punto to second, however, based on his stellar play this season they may prefer to keep him at third base. They also have Luis Rodriguez on the roster, however, he is viewed more as a utility player. Therefore, the Twins need to develop a young player next year who will be a capable stepping in as their second baseman in 2008.
The Rochester Red Wings (AAA) had several players at second base during this season, including Luis Maza, 25+, (#52/#10). Following an excellent 2005 when he hit .291Ave with 11 home runs in 275 at bats at Rochester and a very good spring training, Maza had one of the more disappointing seasons in the organization hitting .207Ave with 10 doubles, 6 triples and 3 home runs with 35 rbi in 305 at bats. Another utility player who played some games at second was Glen Williams, 28+, (#31/DL) who had an excellent short stay with the Twins in 2005 prior to missing much of last year on the disabled list. Williams also struggled this year following his recovery from the injury, hitting .257Ave with 20 doubles, 4 triples, 7 home runs and 36 rbi in 370 at bats. It is unlikely that the Twins will consider either Maza or Williams in their plans for the future although either could return to Rochester for the 2007 season.
The New Britain Rock Cats (AA) had a pleasant surprise at second with the play of Felix Molina, 22+, (#16/#38) who was an Eastern League All-Star second baseman. Molina was amongst those players who improved their play significantly, batting .270Ave with 16 doubles, 4 triples, 9 home runs, 39 runs scored and 50 rbi in 385 at bats. Matt Tolbert, 23+, (#15/#35) is another player who improved significantly this season. Tolbert split his season between New Britain, where he hit .258Ave with 15 doubles, 3 home runs and 35 rbi in 248 at bats with 30 walks and 43 strikeouts, and Ft. Myers where he was one of their leading hitters with a .303Ave with 6 doubles, 3 triples, 4 home runs and 24 rbi in 155 at bats with 14 walks and only 17 strikeouts. Tolbert's play this season earned him a spot in this fall's Arizona Fall League. Tolbert and Molina will be options the Twins look at for second base or future utility players.
Until his promotion to New Britain at mid-season, the starting second baseman for the Ft. Myers Miracle (Hi-A) was **Alexi Casilla, 21+, (#1/-) who was obtained from the Angels in the J.C. Romero trade. Casilla, who played shortstop at New Britain, performed at a level matched by no other player this season earning him a spot on the 40-man roster and a September call up. While at Ft. Myers, Casilla hit .331Ave with 12 doubles, 6 triples, 0 home runs, 56 runs scored and 33 rbi in 323 at bats. Casilla is the ideal lead-off hitter as he walked 30 times versus only 36 strikeouts and stole 31 bases in 37 attempts. After Casilla moved on to AA, Luke Hughes, 21+, (#61/#30) played mostly at second with a .231Ave, 15 doubles, 4 home runs and 37 rbi in 333 at bats. Late in the season following a stint on the disabled list at Beloit, Steven Tolleson, 22, (#25/#45) joined the Miracle and was solid at second. Tolleson hit .268Ave with 8 doubles, 4 home runs and 23 rbi in 157 at bats with 22 walks and only 24 strikeouts for the Miracle. While at Beloit, Tolleson hit a strong .287Ave with 8 doubles, 2 home runs and 16 rbi in 171 at bats with 27 walks and 34 strikeouts. Casilla, who has many similarities to Luis Castillo, is the leading candidate to take over for Castillo whenever he leaves. Tolleson is another player who has played very well since being drafted in the fifth round of the 2005 draft.
The Beloit Snappers (A) were a team that was decimated by injuries this season with their infield taking a hit at each position. Their second basemen at the beginning of the year were Tolleson and fellow 2005 pick who also is the son of a former major leaguer, Andrew Thompson, 19, (#33/#31). Thompson played very well, however, a series of injuries (blind sided in a bench clearing brawl, hit in the head with a pitch upon his return to action and a back injury that ended his season) affected his ranking as he was limited to 74 games and 283 at bats. He played very well when able, hitting .261Ave, 11 doubles, 7 triples and 3 home runs with 40 runs scored and 23 rbi. Juan Portes, 20, (#66/#8) played some second, third and left field, however, spent much of the season on the disabled list and when playing was battling injuries and never got his bat going which had earned him recognition as one of the top prospects in the Appalachian League in 2005. Portes, who is in the Fall Instructional League as an outfielder, hit .231Ave, 9 doubles, 3 triples, 2 home runs with 33 rbi in 268 at bats. Thompson, who is definitely a solid prospect at second base, was only 19 and will likely move up the system a step at a time with his double play partner and co-2005 second round pick, Paul Kelly. Portes has always struggled defensively in the infield and is being converted to an outfielder in this fall's Instructional League as the Twins want to see him advance in the system because when healthy, he can be an electric offensive player.
The Elizabethton Twins (Rookie) were solid at second with their eighth round pick and NAIA Player of the Year, Brian Dinkelman, 22, (#35/-) who was one of their top hitters with a .298Ave, 11 doubles, 4 home runs with 32 rbi in 188 at bats. Dinkelman was also solid defensively as evidenced by his having only 3 errors in 46 games. Another second baseman who saw limited action for the Twins was Michael Lysaught, 20, (#85/#79) who hit .160Ave with 5 doubles and 4 rbi in 81 at bats. Dinkelman appears to have the talent needed to advance in the system.
The Gulf Coast League Twins (Rookie) had two players share second this season. Matt Lawman, 18+, (#82/-) is a young Australian who played well hitting .256Ave with 2 doubles and 4 rbi in 86 at bats. This season's 40th round pick, Thomas Cowgill, 22+, (#78/-) hit only .185Ave with 6 doubles, 2 triples, 2 home runs and 13 rbi in 119 at bats. Lawman is a very young player who was playing his first baseball in America, a player whom many believe could develop into an excellent prospect.
The second basemen in the system included the highest ranked player in the system, Alexi Casilla. The thirteen players playing second base this season had an average ranking of #44 out of 88 position players. The top prospects in the system at second base include:
Alexi Casilla #1 New Britain
Matt Tolbert #15 New Britain
Felix Molina #16 New Britain
Steve Tolleson #25 Ft. Myers
Drew Thompson #33 Beloit
Brian Dinkelman #35 Elizabethton
Unlike catcher and first base, the Twins may very well be looking for a starting second baseman as early as 2008. Considering that Alexi Casilla was the top ranked player in the system this past season and is now being exposed to major league baseball as a September call up, there is no question that he is the leading candidate to replace Luis Castillo whenever he leaves. Casilla is a disciplined hitter with tremendous speed that would also be an ideal replacement for Castillo at the top of the order. Matt Tolbert had a great season at Ft. Myers and New Britain, especially with his bat. Tolbert will be playing in the Arizona Fall League which is an indication that the Twins are also very high on his potential. Molina had a breakout year as an All-Star at New Britain. Although they won't be ready for the major leagues in 2008, Steven Tolleson, Andrew Thompson and Brian Dinkelman all have the potential of reaching the major leagues.

Somebody should ask James Dobson and Rick Warren why the Intelligent Designer has taken to designing antibiotic resistant bacteria. I'll be particularly interested in His reasons for designing vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium. The Lord works in mysterious ways.

You shouldn't even bother with these brainless Christians anyways. Their brains are rotten with maggots and they are hopelessly lost in a world outside of their control and understanding. They probably think, in their idiotic and puerile minds, that God created antibiotic resistance to hurt the homosexuals. Christians are such idiots that I don't even know where to start, so I will just leave it at that.

William Paley's retort to Charles William Paley's retort to Charles Darwin's theories (which still hold true today in any serious scientific circle) was put down in the seventeen hundreds. Which shows even in puritan times people were understanding the conceptual world in a scientific ways These clowns tried to re-invent the debate in the nineteen sixties and again several years back but all it accomplished was to reinforce the extremists own views of their bible. What a joke.

Awk sorry about the typo. I get upset when this comes up in discussions.

William Paley's retort to Charles Darwin's theories.... - 12:41 PM

Well now it isn't really accurate to refer to William Paley's "retort" to Darwin, Paley died 5 years before Darwin was born. It was rather the other way around. It is true that modern day creationists essentially depend on Paley's argument -- which is called the argument from design or the teleological argument -- if you find a watch, there must be a designer.
Of course it goes back to the beginning of religion. People saw a complex world full of entities which appear to have functions, so some intelligence must have made it. Darwin showed otherwise, but there are a lot of people who just can't accept that. - 12:53 PM

I'm having that kind of a day too. My husband has been out of town for four days and I feel like I'm hanging by a thread. It's hard sometimes, all the responsibility of motherhood. I totally lost my cool with my two year old today too - the look of hurt in his eyes - it's going to haunt me for a long time. Hope things brighten up for you - I've been following you since James was born and have been praying for him. Extra prayers tonight for you for strength and quick healing.

Dan Evans "I Have Not Yet Begun To Fight"
"As a much more famous American once said, 'I have not yet begun to fight,' " he said. Evans and university lobbyists would, by Friday or Monday, have a sponsor in the Senate for a bill proposing public funding, Chopp be damned -- as well as anyone else who questioned the wisdom. "If somebody says they want a piece of this, I'll go up against anybody," he said. "I'll guarantee we can knock down anyone's arguments over need and urgency."
As I said yesterday, this is far from dead.
As for Frank Chopp, who appointed him God?
6 comments:
A-T-F quite frankly is just a d--k head. I wait for the day the PI finally goes under so he and Moore can look for a new job..There are a few rags down here they might be interested in, but I doubt they would be hired.
- John Berkowitz said...
Lol...Prrbrr....Art is a god writer, he is extremely smart, but sometimes none of us can exactly figure out where he is coming from.
His first article on the stadium remodeling project was basically a hatchet job on Chopp which served little purpose but amusing Art. We all know Chopp is flawed, but the timing of the attack was ill timed.
In his second article he says he is in favor of it, but has mixed emotions because fund raising in the private sector was never started, let alone maxed out. He makes a good point even if we don't want to here it.
Point is we don't have time, we need to get this thing done now. I think it will get done, but as usual in Olympia it takes a lot of work. - 8:13 AM
I responded to Taft's "PI says DOA post" on Dawgman with:
I've lived in Thurston County (30+ years) watching the boys and girls of winter play their games to know nothing is over in Olpympia until the final gavel of a legislative session. I've seen "DOA" bills passed in the middle of the night on the last day when I worked at the state printing plant where we printed all the legislature's bills, minutes, etc. - 9:26 AM
- John Berkowitz said...
Nothing is ever dead in Olympia. This Frank Chopp is a real piece of work, and he is really going to make some serious political enemies this time around if he doesn't watch it.
Once again this guy has to go. For some reason he thinks he is above it all. - 10:53 AM
Given the incestuous relationship between WA Democrats and the unions I wonder if this issue would find smooth sailing if union jobs were promised? Unions have a lot of power in Olyville right now.
- John Berkowitz said...
Any type of construction doen at the UW would require Union contractors if my recollection is correct.

Paleo is so easy. Just eat real food.
Except…it's often much harder than it seems.
Giving up foods is not easy to begin with, and then what happens if eating the way that you're "supposed" to doesn't actually work? What if you still can't lose weight, solve digestive issues, or feel better?
Fortunately, there are people who've been through this journey before you. Alison Golden is one of them. And she's picked up a lot of wisdom along the way.
This book is Alison's gift to anyone who is struggling with some aspect or another of living a healthy Paleo life. Whether you're just starting out, getting back in the saddle, or really trying to perfect your Paleo life, the purpose of this book is to make everything a little bit easier for you.

Sarah Fragoso
If you love Thai food, then this book is definitely for you. It's got everything from oyster sauce (page 58) to mango sticky rice (page 218) and green curry (page 136).
Sarah Fragoso of Everyday Paleo travelled throughout Thailand and her recipes are filled with authentic spices and flavors. There's even a section at the end about her family's travels through Thailand. I especially loved reading about the different cooking classes she took and the markets they visited (it really reminded me of my visit to India where I took 3 cooking classes in a week!).
Keto Clarity
Click here to purchase this book.
Jimmy Moore with Eric C. Westman, MD
This book has everything you need to know about being on a Ketogenic diet – from what is ketosis, answering criticisms of a ketogenic diet to how to make sure you're producing ketones.
And if you're wondering what ketosis is, then here's a quick definition for Keto Clarity: "a metabolic state that happens when you consume a very low-carb, moderate-protein, high-fat diet that causes your body to switch from using glucose as its primary source of fuel to running on ketones."
As Jimmy goes on to explain in more detail, "Ketones are actually the preferred fuel source for the muscles, heart, liver, and brain. These vital organs do not handle carbohydrates very well; in fact, they become damaged when we consume too many carbs."
The diet that induces ketosis and ketone production is called the ketogenic diet (or often shortened to the keto diet).

Why is Simone such an amazing Paleo cook? Well, apart from her obvious experience as a chef, she also has a knack for recreating the exact tastes of traditional non-Paleo foods. As Simone puts it: "That's probably because if I want pizza, I want pizza. Not the flavors of pizza in a bowl – real pizza. On my birthday, I want the chocolate cake that I remember from my childhood backyard birthday parties. And once in a while, I want warm cookies fresh out of the oven."

The book has been written specifically with the Paleo Autoimmune Protocol in mind. This means the recipes have taken Paleo eating one step further, eliminating allergens including nuts and other ingredients that are often connected to food intolerances. Introductory chapters include information about digestion and the connection to health issues and kitchen tips. Recipes can be made with an ice cream maker or without so there are no special tools required.
