250 Participants
Adult, Family, Kids, Men, Women
Registration is limited to 200 people! You must bring a valid ID to check-in & to get your free beer! Let's consider this an "Un-Race" as it goes against many principles of those fancy 5k races around the Lakes or along the river you may be familiar with. This is an open course where the roads WILL NOT be closed, but there will be many volunteers along the way to guide you through the route. This is not timed, you will not get a medal when you finish, and there will not be many spectators. You can run, jog, or walk - your choice, no one cares!! The only advantages of finishing quicker is colder beer! What you will get is FREE BEER, a fun time, and a friendly run/jog/walk with other great people! You will also get a warm-fuzzy feeling that a portion of this events proceeds will be donated to a local non-profit. Each finisher receives 1 full size beer & collectors logo beer glass from NorthGate Brewing! Have fun & drink responsibily. Checkout the GREAT NorthGate Brewing beer that will be served @ www.northgatebrew.com Check www.pracnaminneapolis.com for directions.

Santa Clara's Tapestry of Excellence:
Access for All
When SCU Professor of Law Allen S. Hammond speaks of disenfranchisement, he is not referring just to voting rights. He is referring to the rights of people to participate in the political process, to have access to medical information, and even to have access to basic services such as banking,things that are, in many cases these days, only accessible through the Internet.
Hammond is director of SCU‰s Broadband Institute of California, as well as president of the Alliance for Public Technology, a nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering access to affordable and useful information and communication services and technologies to all people including the elderly, minorities, low-income groups, and people with disabilities. Hammond says his goal with these organizations is to get broadband (high-speed) Internet access to all people in California and the United States.
Hammond brings this concern for others to his classroom. In his communications law class, he does not just teach about the Communications Act or FCC regulations, he teaches the socially responsible use of technology.
"As a society we have to be interconnected, we have to have access," he says. "It is unfair to define computer and Internet skills as crucial to a person‰s interaction with society and not make the technology available to everyone. If you can only bank by computer, for example, then you are disenfranchised from managing your own financial affairs if you don‰t have computer access."
SCU law students, who increasingly rely on laptops for note-taking, research, and even taking exams, approach these activities with a different eye when they are acting as research assistants for Hammond. As a result of a grant from the University‰s Center for Science, Technology, and Society, Hammond and his student researchers were able to explore the ways in which the design of computers and Internet technology and services render them inaccessible to people with disabilities.
By understanding the technology and its impact on users with disabilities, Hammond is better able to advise industry, government, and public interest advocates about how to make the Internet more accessible and consistent with the law.
"In my classrooms my students and I talk about not just what is legal but what is fair and what difference it may make in people‰s lives," he says.

Photographer Mark Larson has a show up at HealthSPORT in Arcata titled "60 and Older ... Working Out." It will run through the end of April.
"As a baby boomer myself now at age 66, I've been inspired by and enjoyed interacting with many 60-and-older persons working out at the gym over the past 15 years," Larson wrote in a press release. "Listening to their stories has led me to want to explore common issues and experiences related to aging. I'm going to continue this project photographing more persons doing different activities at a variety of venues and collecting those personal stories."
The poster-sized, black-and-white portraits show members of the so-called "silver tsunami" participating in a variety of physical activities at the gym. Pictured here is Lew Litzky.
Larson used digital cameras set to a high ISO (3200) and a black-and-white inkjet printing style to achieve an effect similar to that rendered by Tri-X B&W film negatives.
"Paraphrasing author James Thurber, old age is the most unexpected of all the things that can happen to a person," said Larson. "The good news is that exercise is the baby boomer's 'Get Out of Jail Free' card, according to author Bruce Gierson. Experts on aging offer this advice to us all -- it's never too early or too late to work on aging well."
Larson recently retired after teaching photography for 38 years in the journalism department at Humboldt State University. He teaches workshops in photography and Adobe PhotoShop, and does freelance work for newspapers, magazines and other clients.

Things I liked: Great Starter Gun, Very Durable, good size and weight. Accuracy could be better, but isn't bad. Don't mind being shot with it.
Things I would have changed: Turn down the hop up a bit, the curve is very noticable. The sights are worthless, and non-adjustable. The magazine capacity is rather low, but it does come with an extra mag.
What others should know: Mine lasted a long time, but did break eventually. The small piece that connects the trigger to the piece that releases the spring, totally snapped off. I tried super-gluing it to no avail. I was sad when this broke, but it's an excuse to buy a new gun.

Hyundai faces Iraqi boycott
The South Korean firm Hyundai faces a blanket boycott in Iraq if it did not pay back the UN's award of almost $30 million in damages for the 1991 Gulf War, an Iraqi newspaper warned Tuesday.
"Hyundai has put itself at risk of a total boycott in Iraq and will be obliged, one day, to pay back the compensation, with interest," Al-Iqtisadi said.
The UNCC on January 25 awarded compensation of $29.37 million to Hyundai Engineering and Construction Co. Ltd. (HEC) for its losses from the Gulf War sparked by Iraq's 1990 invasion of Kuwait. The compensation funds come from UN-controlled Iraqi oil exports.
Babel, a daily run by President Saddam Hussein's elder son, Uday, said Sunday that "force majeure" clauses in commercial and industrial contracts exempted parties from their commitments or the right to demand compensation.
"Although it was aware that the damage resulted from a case of force majeure, Hyundai has received the sum decided by the UNCC without the issue being negotiated with Iraq," the official newspaper said.
Before the Gulf conflict, HEC was involved in several projects in the Gulf, such as building roads in Kuwait and a naval base in Iraq.
Debt-ridden HEC said last week that the money from Iraq was the last installment of $34.38 million that the UN had set as compensation for the firm's losses.
The latest payments from the Geneva-based UNCC raised to $11 billion the amount of compensation paid to individuals, companies, countries and international organizations since the conflict. — (AFP, Baghdad)

Don't miss a story. Like us on Facebook. Like Dallas News' Facebook Page
FBI Director James Comey said Monday that investigations of public corruption like the current one involving Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price are reviewed inside the FBI "all the way up to very senior levels."
"We want to make sure we're using that authority carefully and responsibly. And we want to make sure we have the goods when we bring one of those," he said.
He did not comment on the Price case, saying he can't discuss active cases. Price has been charged with federal bribery and tax evasion charges for an alleged influence-peddling scheme that spanned a decade.
Comey visited the FBI's Dallas field office for the first time since being sworn in last September. He was nominated by President Obama to replace outgoing director Robert Mueller.
Comey is touring all 56 FBI field offices across the country. The Dallas Division was the 37th one he's visited so far. He said it's the 12th largest office in the FBI. It covers 137 counties in North Texas and parts of East and West Texas. Comey also took part in the celebration Monday of the 100th anniversary of the Dallas FBI office, and numerous law enforcement officials and dignitaries were on hand to hear him speak.
"Anybody who is arrogant enough to think their community doesn't have it [public corruption] is kidding themselves about human nature," Comey said to reporters during a short briefing. "Those are some of the most important cases we do."
Comey also said he is investing more resources in the Dallas office because it's "such a growing area" with a lot of challenges and different types of crime. Some of the matters being investigated here, he said, are counter-terrorism, counter-intelligence, white collar crime, organized crime, violent crime, cybercrime and crimes against children.
"This is a great place to be in the FBI because everything is here," he said. "It's an international area...it makes it a hard place to work because you have so many different challenges and the world is here.
"We are hitting it on all cylinders," he said.
Earlier, Comey told agents and other law enforcement officials that he was in Dallas to "meet my force and to learn from my force."
Comey said he doesn't have impressive equipment like aircraft carriers.
"I don't have stuff, I have people," he said.

Dog Veterinary
Ask a Dog Vet and Get Answers to Your Dog Health Questions
Hi, I'm Dr. Deb. I will do my best to assist you today.
Benadryl is an ok drug to give to dogs for itching secondary to possible allergies. The dose for a 10 lb dog would be 25 mg 1/2 tablet twice daily or 1 tsp of the liquid kind (12.5mg/5mg or 1 tsp). Side effects are primarily sedation so if she is really groggy, you can reduce the dose to 1/4 tablet twice daily.
Anti-histimines are often not strong enough to control allergic reactions in dogs, however, and they would need something stronger like steroids which a vet would have to prescribe or give to her..
Oatmeal shampoos can also help soothe the skin.
It would be worthwhile to try the benadryl to see if it will give her some relief, however. I see no downside.
Be sure to check Coco over for fleas as well, especially if she is particularly itchy near her tail base or the backs of her legs. She could be allergic to the flea saliva and would itch after they bite her.
Benadryl could also be tried for this particular problem, too.
I hope this helps; if you have additional questions, please let me know.

Ref back in court for stolen gun incident
Tue, 15 May 2012 10:31:15 GMT —
The high school referee charged with bringing a firearm into a school safety zone will be back in court for his trial on Tuesday.
Darrel Phillips, 45, pleaded not guilty to the charges in March after his 9 mm handgun was stolen from a locker at Southview High School while he was officiating a basketball game earlier this year.
Phillips had a permit and told authorities he forgot the gun was in the bag. However, it is illegal to carry a weapon on school grounds.
If convicted, he faces up to one year in prison.
No one has been arrested for the gun theft.

Dior Khaki Design Eyeshadow Palette
Dior Khaki Design Eyeshadow Palette
Camouflage Your Eyes with These Jungle Hues
Dior Khaki Design Eyeshadow Palette ($59.00 for 0.21 oz.) consists of four eyeshadows and one cream eyeliner, and all of these are in hues of greens, khakis, and olives. This eyeshadow palette is designed to be layered, as each shade has a different texture. It comes with a plastic insert that shows the labeling of what each shade is. Four of the shades can be treated as eyeshadows, while the fifth shade is a cream eyeliner.
The first shade, located on the upper left, is a darkened olive green with a subtle gray-tint that gives it that subdued color. It has noticeable brown undertones and a soft dusting of shimmer. The color payoff was good, and the texture was soft and smooth. NARS High Society is duller, grayer. Girogio Armani #25 has a blacker base and a ton more shimmer. Bare Escentuals Speaker Box is more shimmered. Giorgio Armani Green Jacquard is similar but less pigmented. MAC Femme Noir is greener, richer. Make Up For Ever #47 is greener.
The second shade, located on the upper right, is a sheer golden shimmer, which is noted as a "shine." It can be layered over one of the other eyeshadows to add shimmer/sheen. The shimmer in it is finer than Dior Golden Savannah. Giorgio Armani #1 is more pigmented but similar in color–perhaps a touch browner. Giorgio Armani #18 is yellower. Tarina Tarantino Dreamy is similar but more like a regular eyeshadow, so it is opaque.
The third shade, located in the center, is an olive brown with a hint of green and a golden bronze shimmer. It has so-so color payoff; it's a bit sheer, and it doesn't build color well. theBalm Wocka, Wocka is similar but looks richer, as it is more pigmented. Bare Escentuals Spectacular is similar but more metallic in finish. MAC Sumptuous Olive is yellower. Inglot #419 is similar but very frosted.
The fourth shade, located on the bottom left, is a pale white gold with a frosted, metallic finish. The color is semi-sheer–it delivers more payoff than the upper right shade. Dior Couture Gold is chunkier and a smidgen yellower. MAC Carefree is similar in color but has more of matte finish. Bare Escentuals One Hit Wonder is also similar but a bit starker. Bare Escentuals Breathtaking is similar but has a less metallic finish.
The final shade, located on the bottom right, is a cream eyeliner that's a blackened brown with a hint of teal shimmer. The cream eyeliner has good color payoff, and it has a creamy consistency once you break through the initial surface. It had so-so wear; it seemed a little faded and definitely migrated after six hours.
All of the shades had a soft, finely-milled texture that felt like butter and silk. I liked the variation between finishes and light/dark within the palette, as it is more versatile–though I think it could have done with one more medium-colored eyeshadow instead of two pale/white golds that look more similar than not. You would think that the Shine finish would have fall out problems, but it's actually very easy to wear. I patted it over the darkest green eyeshadow, and I didn't experience any fall out during the day. When I wore the palette together, the eyeshadows wore for eight hours with very minor fading along the edges.

The defender is very happy with life at the Bianconeri and has set his sights on winning European club football's elite competition, in just his second season at the club
The right-back joined the Turin giants from Lazio in the summer of 2011, and won the Serie A title in his first season at the Bianconeri.
Nevertheless, the 28-year-old is not satisfied just yet and has set his sights on more silverware in the coming years.
"Juventus are one of the biggest clubs in the world and I am feeling very well here. Moving here was the right choice for me to win something," Lichtsteiner stated to Radiosei.
"Winning the Scudetto with Juve last year was something beautiful. However, that's not biggest thing I can achieve here. I want to win the Champions League now."
Juventus will have to deal with Chelsea, Shakhtar Donetsk and Nordsjaelland in Group E of the Champions League.

AN AVERAGE of 916 patients a month waited more than the target four hours to be dealt with at Gwent's accident and emergency departments during the last three months of 2013.
The figures, issued by the Welsh Government as part of a quarterly report on A&E waiting times, show the units at the Royal Gwent and Nevill Hall hospitals continue to struggle to cope with demand, a situation mirrored across Wales.
During October to December last year, more than 30,600 people attended the A&E units at the two hospitals and 91.1 per cent of them were dealt with inside four hours.
But the target is for a minimum 95 per cent to be dealt with inside four hours, and that is proving stubbornly elusive, not just in Gwent, but in acute hospitals across Wales.
The average number of patients per month who waited longer than four hours in A&E at the Royal Gwent during those three months was 610, and at Nevill Hall 306.
There also remains a problem with waits of more than 12 hours in A&E for some patients, a tiny monthly percentage overall, but adding up to more than 100 a month at Gwent's units, and several hundreds a month across Wales.
Eliminating waits of more than 12 hours has become a priority but overall, the struggles of A&E units to cope with demand, particularly 'spikes' during which they can be full to bursting, are set to continue.
All A&E units in Wales have continued to be busy since the turn of the year, despite a milder winter, and while winter planning has helped ease some problems their continues to be pressure on 'front door' services.
Campaigns like Choose Well Wales continue to provide advice on when and when not to use A&E.

Here's a helpful hint for wrestling coaches looking to face Vacaville High School in the future.
Make the Bulldogs travel, if you can.
Armijo came to Vacaville on Wednesday night, and faced a fired up lineup in a 72-5 Bulldog rout.
A meet at Armijo might not have been too much better, but at least the Indians may have faced a different lineup.
"We only have two league meets at home this year, so I kind of felt obligated to wrestle our top guys at home," Vacaville co-coach Adam Wight said. "They kind of got the full brunt of our lineup."
Vacaville won 11 of 12 contested matches, including a whopping nine pins.
Cameron Bailey (132 pounds) started a run of five straight Bulldog pins that put the match away. Sam Barker (138), Eric Uldall (145), Hayden Fry (152) and Zack Dawson (160) followed suit.
Other Vacaville wrestlers who won by fall were Gionn Peralta (120), Danny Delgado (182), Chris Lai (195) and Zach Crane (220).
Jordan Aquino (106) and Jesse Johnson (170) won by decision. Kasey Klaus (126) and Steven Gomez (heavyweight) won by forfeit.
Vacaville travels to a special four-team dual against Gilroy and Clovis at De La Salle of Concord on Saturday.

ESPN says it will stop broadcasting in 3-D by the end of the year, dealing a major blow to a technology that was launched with great fanfare but has been limping along for years.
The sports network says there were too few viewers to make 3-D broadcasts worth it. It didn't say exactly how many it had, but the number was "extremely limited and not growing."
ESPN 3D was one of nine 3-D channels that launched in the years following the late 2009 release of James Cameron's "Avatar." But the TV sets required viewers to wear glasses, and many people felt the 3-D effect didn't add much.
TV makers have turned their focus to increasing the resolution their sets to "Ultra HDTV" and getting broadcasts to take advantage of that.

Egypt Says Summit must Lead to Israeli Withdrawal from Palestinian Areas
Egypt stressed Sunday that the central goal of the Middle East summit is to make Israel withdraw troops it sent into Palestinian areas during the last two weeks of violence.
Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak insisted on the pullout during talks with UN Secretary General Koffi Annan as the two discussed arrangements for Monday's summit, Foreign Minister Amr Moussa said.
"Moving the Israeli army into those territories is a clear-cut violation of all the agreements that have been arrived at in the last few years," Moussa said.
"This is very important in order to defuse the situation. This is the goal of the conference" involving Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, US President Bill Clinton and Mubarak, Moussa said.
"The situation is very, very serious, still very tense in the occupied territories," he added.
Annan, who made no comment about the status of the troops, warned instead that the crisis would have an impact on the entire world politically and economically if it were not solved at this summit.
He said Saturday that the summit cannot afford to fail.
Annan said there were no preconditions for the summit after the Palestinians and their allies Egypt pushed for an Israeli withdrawal and an international commission of inquiry into the cause of the violence -- SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt (AFP)

New Delhi : The government will soon set up a Higher Education Financing Agency (HEFA), that would provide the much needed funds to boost research oriented infrastructure for premiere institutions like IITs, NITs and IIMs. The Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, gave its nod to a proposal of the HRD ministry for creation of HEFA on Monday.
Speaking to reporters here, HRD minister Prakash Javadekar said HEFA would be jointly promoted by the identified promoter and HRD ministry with an authorised capital of Rs 2,000 crore of which government equity would be Rs 1,000 crore.
The HEFA would be formed as a SPV within a PSU Bank/ Government-owned-NBFC (Promoter) and it would leverage the equity to raise up to Rs 20,000 crore for funding projects for infrastructure and development of world class labs in institutions like IITs, IIMs and NITs etc, Javadekar said.
The HEFA would also mobilise CSR funds from PSUs and Corporates, which would in turn be released for promoting research and innovation in these institutions on grant basis, a statement released by the ministry said. HEFA would finance the civil and lab infrastructure projects through a 10-year loan, the statement said, adding that principal portion of the loan will be repaid through the 'internal accruals' (earned through the fee receipts, research earnings etc.) of the institutions.
The Government would service the interest portion through the regular Plan assistance. All the Centrally Funded Higher Educational Institutions would be eligible for joining as members of the HEFA.
When asked how HEFA would raise funds, officials said that it could be through bond market by floating education bonds or through debt market. For joining as members, the Institution should agree to escrow a specific amount from their internal accruals to HEFA for a period of 10 years. This secured future flows would be securitised by the HEFA for mobilising the funds from the market.
Each member institution would be eligible for a credit limit as decided by HEFA based on the amount agreed to be escrowed from the internal accruals, the statement said.

The iPhone 5's A6 SoC: Not A15 or A9, a Custom Apple Core Insteadby Anand Lal Shimpi on September 15, 2012 2:15 PM EST
- Posted in

- Mobile
- SoC
- iPhone 5
The A6 GPU: PowerVR SGX 543MP3?
Apple made a similar "up to 2x" claim for GPU performance. It didn't share any benchmarks, but there are four options here:
1) PowerVR SGX 543MP2 (same as in A5) at 2x the clock speed
2) PowerVR SGX 543MP4 at the same clock as the MP2 in the A5
3) Marginally higher clocked PowerVR SGX 543MP3
4) Next-gen PowerVR Rogue GPU
It's too early for #4. The first option makes sense but you run into the same issues as on the CPU side with higher voltages used to ramp clocks up (also possible that you drop voltages in the move to the new process technology).
The second option trades voltage for die area, which based on the A5X Apple is clearly willing to spend where necessary.
The third is sort of the best of both worlds. You don't take a huge die area penalty and at the same time don't run at a significantly higher frequency, and you can get to that same 2x value.
The third option is the most elegant and likely what Apple chose here. Remember that overall die size is dictated by the amount of IO you have around the chip. The A5X had four 32-bit LPDDR2 memory controllers, which gave Apple a huge die area to work with. The move to a smaller manufacturing process cuts down the total die area, which means Apple would either have to add a ton of compute (to fill empty space, no sense in shipping a big chip with a bunch of unused area) or reduce the memory interface to compensate. Pair that knowledge with the fact that Apple doesn't have the same memory bandwidth requirements on the iPhone 5 (0.7MP vs. 3.1MP display) and it makes sense that Apple would go for a narrower memory interface with the A6 compared to the A5X.
How much narrower? Phil Schiller mentioned the A6 was 22% smaller than the A5. We can assume this is compared to the 45nm A5 and not the 32nm A5r2, which would mean that we don't have any more memory channels compared to the A5. In other words, it's quite likely the A6 has a 2x32-bit LPDDR2 memory interface once again.
Final Words
There's not much more to add for now. We'll have a device in a week and I suspect the first reviews will be out a day or two before then. Then the real work begins on finding out exactly what Apple has done inside the A6. If anyone has been dying to put together some good low level iOS benchmarks, now is the time to start.
This is a huge deal for Apple. It puts the company in another league when it comes to vertical integration. The risks are higher (ARM's own designs are tested and proven across tons of different devices/platforms) but the payoff is potentially much greater. As Qualcomm discovered, it's far easier to differentiate (and dominate?) if you're shipping IP that's truly unique from what everyone else has.
Now we get to see just how good Apple's CPU team really is.

Penti - Sunday, September 16, 2012 - linkWell the A4 was for example called the Apple A4 even when it was an Samsung and Intrinsity project for their then pretty small Apple customer, later they bought Intrinsity and came up with A5 and A5X and die-shrinks all on Samsungs fab with their help, they rebadged it before they bought Intrinsity so of course the first product was largely a Samsung project with Intrinsity as a subcontractor.
It would be fun if it's a custom chip here, but I'm kind of not leaning towards that because it largely didn't bring in any new features or enhancements they bragged about. It's certainly possible to upgrade a A9 with the FPU from the A5/A7 or whatever that is already on the market. The problem with the A5/A7 configuration of the FPU would be that it's a reduced registry D16-variant. But they probably have the FPU done already for the A15 proper, we have to wait and see how they went about creating this chip. Odd timing if it's a new custom architecture chip.
I'm pretty sure the PA-Semi and Intrinsity teams have no external work anymore as they were merged with Apple totally and don't exist as separate units any more. To bad that PA-Semi's processor went to do largely nothing. Intrinsity also helped other firms to design PPC and MIPS processors, and did ARM-work for others than Samsung in Texas were they were based, too. Basically they did specialist design tools for the business and collaborated and co-design stuff. I'm sure that other firms in the Texas area has snatched up people that doesn't work for Apple any more, any way we won't see their work in anything more then in Apple chips. It's sadly a downside of mergers if they don't want to keep and develop the product line. Apple is largely a retailer (as most people work in Apple stores and related) and a software company but they should have a few hundred semi design people from their buyouts alone, it's not like Dangers buyout by Microsoft or Microsoft's Nokia partnership here at least as they do deliver products. I just noted that they didn't say "totally new design, new powerful GPU etc etc". It just sounded like here, here's a new chip buy it :) Intrinsity team is the ARM guys. Several of the key PA-Semi guys left Apple after the acquisition or even months before but they should have plenty of skilled engineers still. Not sure they need such a large design team if they are only going to cook ARM-SoC's together with other IP-suppliers (physical IP) and manufacturers though, not sure how many is left or has been hired, we just have to see what they have come up with. Old Intrinsity team is the one who are best skilled at optimizing external design. Reply
Fx1 - Saturday, September 15, 2012 - linkI knew ANAND shouldnt have said it was a A15. So cock sure of himself on this one and boy was he wrong.
I think an apology is in order. Reply
DigitalFreak - Saturday, September 15, 2012 - linkNo one cares. Reply
jenjohnson88 - Saturday, September 15, 2012 - linkMany people said it couldn't be A15, and Anand/Brian arrogantly said it was.
you'd better believe we care that something was claimed as FACT when it was merely a guess. Reply
JarredWalton - Sunday, September 16, 2012 - linkSo, maybe Anand should do an apology article where he says something like, "I was wrong, it's not A15. Here's what I know." Oh, wait.. that's exactly what this article is. Reply
tipoo - Saturday, September 15, 2012 - linkLol. An apology? They try to inform us the best they can, sometimes they make mistakes. Get over it. Reply
jenjohnson88 - Saturday, September 15, 2012 - linkyou don't get it do you
there's a difference between saying it's an educated guess, and what Brian did.
On twitter he said he had insider information confirming it was A15. Reply
Kristian Vättö - Sunday, September 16, 2012 - linkAnd I bet he had insider information, but that ended up being incorrect. There is also a difference between Twitter and Anandtech.com. If you look at our articles about iPhone 5, we have not said it's A15 for sure:
"Based on the performance gains, Apple's history of SoC naming and some other stuff we've heard recently, it looks like Apple has integrated two ARM Cortex A15 on Samsung's 32nm LP HK+MG process."
"Apple reserves major Ax SoC number iterations for architecture changes, combine that with the performance claims as well as some other stuff we've heard offline and there's one conclusion: the iPhone 5 uses ARM Cortex A15 cores inside."

Fx1 - Sunday, September 16, 2012 - linkI read the stories and there was one titles A15 inside A6 CPU. Thats pretty damn definitively written and highly misleading.
There is just complete Apple Fanboy style reporting on Anandtech now. I own a MBP and had 5 iPhones before my S3 so i know how to spot them.
Time to take off the rose tinted glasses Anand. The IPhone 5 is a rip off at £529 with £105 worth of components. MAYBE YOU SHOULD REPORT ON THE COMPLETE OVERPRICING OF APPLE PRODUCTS. Reply
Kristian Vättö - Sunday, September 16, 2012 - linkBill of materials is irrelevant, what matters is the prices of comparable phones. Galaxy S3 is not significantly cheaper than iPhone 5; I just checked Finland's biggest e-tailer and they have the S3 for 590€ and 16GB iPhone 5 for 620€. I don't think the situation is much different in UK or any other country.
The S3 doesn't cost 590€ to make so it's not like Apple is the only company charging more than the bill of materials. You have to remember that manufacturing costs are just one part of the big picture, engineering high-end phones like iPhone 5 and S3 costs millions. In the end, both Apple and Samsung are companies which aim to make profit and it seems that people are ready to pay £529 for the iPhone 5. Reply

My daughter just back from the Freedom told me they now have an upgraded steak available on the main menu for 14.95 .She said they no longer had the the steak alternetive on the main menu.I have been a long time Loyal to Royal cruiser but please someone tell me she was wrong.If this is the case I assume lobster will be making a comeback but at what price?
I know on my June cruise they didn't want to give out the lobster like they use to. They wanted 1 per person. Our waiter gave us whatever we wanted though. I hope they won't be charging for this.
even if they were charging for steak, $14.95 seems pretty high....for $20, you could go to Chops and get a full upgraded meal, instead of just the steak
Apparently this is true. The steak is one from the Chops menu, and they no longer offer the "free" steak alternative - at least on the Freedom. I don't know if this is a test or being rolled out fleet-wide. It wasn't on the Sovereign last week.
I do know I don't like it. I'll be damned if I am going to use my cruise card as the only way to get a steak in the dining room. Obviously, removing the normal steak option is a way to force people into buying one if they don't like the other menu options. I hope this plan fails miserably.
As Mike said, why pay $15 for the steak when for $20 I can get the full meal at Chops?
This really torques me, a new diamond C&A member at that.
My husband will be very disappointed. He always ordered the steak as an alternative.
I agree with Dave, I hope this is a test, and does not become policy.
Give me the good old days of crusing!!!
The one thing I admit is the steak I had last time I sailed from chops was probably the best dinner I've ever had at sea. That said I just don't like the direction this is headed.I still remember when Coke was free at dinner.Do you know if they add gradtuities?
I don't like the implications of this either. What's next?
Increased fares and charges for buffets.
This is really annoying. It isn't that it is the steak as much as it is the further creeping of the nickel-and-diming, and now into the main dining room. This is akin to the trojan horse getting rolled through the main gate.

July 1, 2016 all other stores
After the global success of their first EP of 2016, 'On', including remixes by Techno legend Paco Osuna and Chloé, Monkey Safari is the name on everyone's lips, and summer lineups. Now they're out with their follow-up EP entitled 'Bernstein' with two original tracks and remixes by none other than John Digweed & Nick Muir as well as Spanish DJ and producer UNER. This release showcases the German brothers' darker side, combining deep trance-like rhythms with resonant sounds. At the same time, the release pulls you in with dreamy, head-in-the-clouds melodies, perfect for both sunrise and deep club sets alike.
This release demonstrates Sven and Lars' move into the limitless domain of the "experimental†since the launch of their new label 'Hommage.' As their career grows and transforms, it becomes more and more clear that they have found a medium in which to display their differing genre preferences and production styles. Monkey Safari is demanding the attention of industry heavyweights as evident by their 2015 collaborations with artists like Guy Gerber, Kölsch, Marc Houle, Wolf + Lamb, Josh Wink, as well as one of dance music's most iconic producers, Moby. In 2016 the evidence of Monkey Safari's growing allure is made clear by the two otherworldly remixes released on the 'Bernstein' EP. John Digweed & Nick Muir's remix of 'Plexus,' brings in a more soulful, synthy take on the original. In UNER's remix of 'Bernstein,' the Spanish producer's musical training radiates through, making it a sure-fire hit this summer.

Patna: After a jeweller was shot dead in the state capital on Saturday, opposition BJP attacked the Nitish Kumar government on law and order situation in Bihar and sought the intervention of Governor Ramnath Kovind.
"Under the dominance of numerically strong Lalu Prasad, it appears that the Nitish Kumar government has lost the will to take on criminals," senior BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi told reporters.
"The fear of return of jungle raj has appeared to be true in Bihar as indicated by killing of two engineers in Darbhanga, gunning down of a jeweller in Patna today and regular news reports of extortion calls by criminals to doctors, engineers and industrialists," Sushil Modi said.
Sushil Modi, who is Leader of Opposition in Legislative Council, said soon a delegation of BJP would meet Governor Ramnath Kovind and seek his intervention to check the spiralling crime graph.
In a scathing attack at Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, the senior BJP leader asked "What happened to his pre-poll assurance to people of 'main hoon na'." Sushil Modi alleged that Bihar was returning to path of "jungle raj" which was prevalent during 15 years rule of Lalu Prasad's party in the state from 1990-2005.
"There are clearly two centres in Bihar today, one led by Lalu Prasad and another Nitish Kumar," he said and pointed to the RJD chief telephoning civil and police officials and giving directions to them on law and order issue.
"Prasad had recently said he would make his mobile number public so that citizens could talk to him over crime," he said to drive home the point.
"Nitish Kumar has lost control over bureaucracy due to interference by Lalu Prasad who with 80 MLAs is the single largest party in the coalition government," he said.
Sushil Modi stringent remarks came in the wake of the murder of a jeweller by armed men near Rajapur in the heart of Patna, reportedly over an extortion demand.
The jeweller Ravi Kant succumbed to bullet injuries while being taken to Patna Medical College and Hospital (PMCH), Senior Superintendent of Police Manu Maharaj told PTI.

Famed Tuner Nobby Clark Gains U.S. Citizenship

Former Grand Prix tuner Nobby Clark, 68, became a U.S. citizen on September 27, in New York City, New York.

Clark, who was born to British parents in the country of Rhodesia, which is now known as Zimbabwe, tried for years to get a British passport, including gathering documents and records showing his family's English roots going back 150 years. Clark finally gave up his pursuit of the British passport, registered as a Resident Alien in the United States (where he has lived and worked since 1993) and began the long process of obtaining U.S. citizenship.

"It dragged on and on. I went for a medical exam and finger prints. I didn't hear anything for it must have been two years, then I got a letter to go for this interview, which is a normal thing.

"The crazy thing about it was I couldn't understand the guy who was doing the interview. His English was so bad that my attorney, who was with me, had to interpret. He was a nice guy and all and I'm sure he was a U.S. citizen, but he was interviewing me for citizenship and he could barely speak English!

"I didn't hear anything more for 18 months, then I got a letter telling me to be in New York City at the Federal Plaza at 9:00 a.m. Monday morning. I got there at 8:00 a.m."

Clark's swearing-in ceremony took place two days before his 68th birthday. "As a birthday present, I don't think anything could have been better," Clark told Roadracingworld.com.

Clark is best known for tuning for the Honda factory Grand Prix team during the 1960s, followed by a long stint with Yamaha, during which, "I worked with Kenny (Leroy) Roberts until he retired, all eight years he raced in Europe," said Clark.

Clark is currently working in a small Ferrarri shop in upstate New York.

Layering White Chocolate Mud Cake For Wedding Cake
Baking By TrialNError Updated 19 Dec 2012 , 11:55am by Evoir
I'm just wondering: is a mudcake served without layers, or can I 'layer' a white chocolate mud cake & fill in-between layers with either a white choc ganache or buttercream frosting?
I need to do this for a friend's wedding cake & just want to make it special - not sure which way to go.
Also, I will be covering with fondant, so don't want the cake ending up too sweet...
Thanks to anyone who is willing to help/offer suggestions.
AHello. Yes, you can torte and fill your mud cakes - I do it all the time with probably 90% of my mud cake wedding cakes.
I'd recommend ganache over buttercream, but you can use that too, plus jams/preserves, infusions on each layer, and so forth. I'd recommend you use a firm dam however, to keep it from bulging.
Hi Evoir,
Thanks for the reply. I will torte the cake & use a sour cream/white choc ganache as I feel the cake is a bit sweet...
Just a question: what do you mean by your recommendation
I appreciate your response, thanks.
AIf your ganache is too soft/runny, it will bulge under your ganache and fondant on the sides of your cake, as the cake settles - both before and after applying fondant. To prevent this you need to create a very firm outer ring/perimeter of thickened buttercream or ganache or cake truffle mixture, in each filling layer.
Hope this helps!

HOSPITAL staff in South Tyneside have been praised for finding a recipe for success – as health bosses launch a nationwide drive to boost food standards for patients.
The NHS is to have mandatory food standards, and hospitals will be ranked on food quality by the Government.
South Tyneside District Hospital says it is already serving up satisfying meals, after achieving a 99 per cent approval rating in a patient-led inspection.
The hospital was one of six singled out for delivering top performance in food quality for patients in the North East.
Steve Williamson, chief operating officer at South Tyneside District Hospital, said: "We always take great pride in the meals we serve to our patients and staff.
"Wherever possible, we source our food locally, and it is always cooked in our kitchens on site daily.
"We always receive high praise from patients regarding the quality of our meals, and we attract a significant number of visitors each day to sample the food in our restaurant.
"The hospital also recently won an award for the best hospital food in the area."
The new requirements have been agreed upon following the formation of the Hospital Food Standards Panel, led by Dianne Jeffrey, chairman of Age UK.
The requirements will form part of the NHS Standards Contract – making them legally-binding for hospitals – and includes screening patients for malnourishment and patients having a food plan.
Hospitals must take steps to ensure patients get the help they need to eat and drink and canteens must promote healthy diets for staff and visitors – including complying with recommendations on salt, saturated fats and sugar;
Hospitals will be ranked on the NHS Choices website, which will show how they perform on quality of food, choice of food, menus approved by dietitian, availability of fresh fruit, cost of food per patient and variety of breakfast choices.
Secretary of State for Health, Jeremy Hunt, said: "We are making the NHS more transparent, giving patients the power to compare food on wards and incentivising hospitals to raise their game.
"Many hospitals are already offering excellent food to their patients and staff.
"But we want to know that all patients have nourishing and appetising food to help them get well faster and stay healthy, which is why we're introducing tough new mandatory standards for the first time ever."
However, the Unison union says the plans don't go far enough – and are calling for a minimum food standard to be introduced.
Christina McAnea, Unison head of health, said: "The Government's initiative doesn't go far enough. There are minimum standards for food in schools and prisons, so why not in the NHS? Healthy, appetising food is vital to a speedy recovery and long-lasting health.
"Hospitals should move away from cook/chill food production, and towards cooking food on site, using locally- sourced food.
"Outsourcing of catering services has had a detrimental impact on the quality of food served in hospitals, which is why so many people rely on vending machines and fast food outlets in hospital foyers.
"Hospital catering staff are working hard to produce quality food against the backdrop of budget cuts and privatisation.
"They also need enough time to ensure that patients are not only getting the right food, but have the help and time they need to be able to eat it."

Swimmers enter year with usual lofty goals
Even with 13 swimmers missing from last year, Todd Fritze is counting on another successful season from the Park Rapids boys swimming and diving team.
The return of 23 swimmers and divers who competed on varsity and the addition of several promising swimmers should help the Panthers make a run at duplicating last year's performance of going 4-2 in dual meets, claiming the Mid-State Conference title, finishing second at the Section 5A True Team meet and third at the Section 5A meet, and qualifying swimmers for the state Class A meet.
Graduation left the Panthers without three state qualifiers: Zach Eystad, Ben Kading and Jake Waggoner. Those three qualified for state in the 200-yard freestyle relay by breaking the school record while Waggoner broke the school record in the 200 freestyle and 500 freestyle and placed at state in both events (13th in the 500 freestyle and 14th in the 200 freestyle). Eystad also qualified for state in the 50 freestyle.
The Panthers do return one state qualifier in senior Connor Smythe. In addition to swimming on the 200 freestyle relay team that qualified for state, Smythe earned all-state honors by placing eighth in the 100 backstroke. Smythe broke his own school record in that event, shared the team's MVP honor and was second in points with 365.50.
Also being counted on to produce in the pool are the other 22 returning varsity competitors: seniors Kalvin Hagan, Kurt Fritze, Spencer Adolphson, Iain Wallace and Nate Rak; juniors Dillon Schroeder, Tyler Breitweser, Matt Konshok and Andrew Zinke; sophomore Hunter Utke; freshmen Sam Eystad, Tim Walsh, Jack Bateman, Jack Walsh and Steven Wattenhofer; and eighth graders Matthew Benson, Bradley Graham, Zach Behrens, Casmir Simonson, Samuel Huot, Peter Vanbatavia and James Utke.
Of the returning group, eight earned all-conference honors while nine scored points at the section meet.
Smythe was the Mid-State champion in the 100 backstroke and earned all-conference honorable mention honors by placing third in the 200 individual medley. Hagan was the conference champion in diving and earned all-conference honorable mention honors by placing second in the 100 breaststroke. Smythe and Schroeder swam on the runner-up 200 medley relay team and Smythe swam on the runner-up 200 freestyle relay team. Fritze swam on the runner-up 400 freestyle relay team and joined Konshok on the 200 freestyle relay team that placed third. Also taking third were Schroeder in the 500 freestyle and the 400 freestyle relay team of Breitweser, Benson, Schroeder and Adolphson.
At the section meet, Smythe and Schroeder swam on the fifth-place 200 medley relay team while Fritze and Adolphson swam on the fifth-place 400 freestyle relay team. Also placing at the section meet were Benson in the 200 freestyle (16th); Smythe (fourth), Adolphson (13th), Hunter Utke (14th) and Zinke (16th) in the 200 individual medley; Konshok (16th) in the 50 freestyle; Hagan (fourth), Fritze (11th) and Breitweser (12th) in diving; Adolphson in the 100 butterfly (14th); Schroeder (seventh) and Benson (13th) in the 500 freestyle; Breitweser (eighth) and Konshok (10th) in the 100 backstroke; and Hagan (seventh), Schroeder (10th) and Hunter Utke (13th) in the 100 breaststroke. Wallace finished 19th in the 200 freestyle and 20th in the 100 freestyle while Zinke was 23rd in the 100 butterfly.
Joining Smythe with at least 100 points last season were Hagan (284.50), Schroeder (234.50), Fritze (224), Breitweser (203.50), Adolphson (177.50), Hunter Utke (154.50), Konshok (153.50) and Benson (111.50).
Also scoring points last season were Zinke (83), Wallace (52.50), Graham (45), Eystad (39.50), Tim Walsh (37.50), Bateman (35.50), Behrens (28), Jack Walsh (27.50), Simonson (26.50), Huot (14.50), Vanbatavia (7.50), James Utke (6.50) and Wattenhofer (2.50).
Adding depth for the Panthers this season will be senior Calvin Bateman; junior Isaac Overmyer; sophomore Jordan Raidt; freshmen Kaleb Carlson, Ben Garcelon, Per Jorgenson and Wendell Kidd; and seventh graders Seth Breitweser and Spencer Fritze.
"We lost some good swimmers, but our expectations are high," said Fritze. "Our junior varsity kids will have to step up and fill some varsity spots. We have a lot of potential. I think we're going to be very competitive."
If the younger kids step up and fill some key spots, Fritze feels his team can repeat as conference champs and contend for some state berths.
"I don't judge a successful season by wins and losses. I judge a successful season on if we get a lot faster," said Fritze. "We're going to be OK. I'm excited about the season with the potential we have. There are a lot of opportunities for kids who want to take them. If they decide to take advantage of those opportunities, watch out."

"Not Fade Away" is a sweet, sad, smart and satisfying piece of nostalgia. Yet it's more than just a little acid trip down memory lane. Chase writes intimately and authoritatively about a time and place and attitude he lived himself, and does it with such energy and affection we wish we were back at the beginning ourselves, when rock 'n' roll grew up from mere pop music to an art and lifestyle all its own.
Much of the drama arises out of generational conflict, in this case rebellious son Douglas (John Magaro) and his pragmatic, my-way-or-the-highway dad ("Sopranos" star James Gandolfini). Douglas is infected by music — chiefly, the bluesy, rootsy rock of the early Rolling Stones — and joins a band with some New Jersey pals who are similarly caught up in the British invasion of the early and mid '60s.
From there we get not the overdone tale of a group on the rise and struggling with the pitfalls of fame and success. Instead, we get the genuine and more illuminating story of all those losers who didn't make it. Who maybe didn't put in the time, maybe didn't have the talent, maybe didn't pursue the dream with the single-minded fanaticism that it usually takes to rise to the top, or even to climb the first couple of rungs.
Writer-director Chase lets his story and characters evolve naturally with the music and the decade, Douglas and his band mates advancing from three-chord cover tunes to their own stab at a grand rock epic.
Along the way, they live the rock life even if they don't reap its rewards. Egos clash as the band decides Douglas has a better voice and is promoted to frontman over initial vocalist Eugene (Jack Huston). Tragedy strikes in a reckless accident involving guitarist Wells (Will Brill). The band gets a disheartening wake-up call about paying dues after an audition for celebrated producer and songwriter Jerry Ragovoy (Brad Garrett).
And Douglas satisfies what is arguably the main goal for any guy who joins a rock band — to attract women — as he wins over high school dream girl Grace (Bella Heathcote).
It's no surprise, considering the union of music and drama on "The Sopranos," that Chase assembles a killer soundtrack featuring the Beatles, the Stones, the Kinks, Bo Diddley, Robert Johnson, Lead Belly, Elmore James and many others. He's aided by fellow Jersey guy and "Sopranos" co-star Steven Van Zandt, a member of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, who does double duty as both music supervisor and an executive producer on the film.

In 1991, comic artist and writer Mike Mignola created a black and white illustration at a comic convention of a demon character that bore the name "Hellboy" on his belt. This was the genesis of the filed-homed fighter of the supernatural known and loved today.
The First Hellboy Statue by Mondo brings the original concept to life, showcasing all the strange and fun details of the original drawing. In addition to all the sculpted details, original Hellboy colorist Dave Stewart was enlisted to design the color scheme for the piece.

Review by Psycho Penguin
"I used to play this game a lot before my arcade got rid of it"
Rygar is one of the coolest games I have ever played. While I love the NES version, the Arcade version is almost as good. It's just .. different. I say this game is definetly worth playing if you can still find it. My Arcade got rid of it a year or two ago... but up in New York I used to play this game all the time.
The graphics were awesome. The backgrounds of the game were marvelous, and I stil remember the first screen you saw in Rygar, with the sunset and stuff. Talk about amazing. The character and enemy designs are great, as well. If I had to lodge one complaint, it would be the same background repeating ocasionally, only with different colors. Regardless, a fantastic graphical game.
My favorite part of Rygar is the music featured in the game. I am really a big fan of it, especially the music that plays when you first start off the game. The Game Over music is also well done, in my opinion. Sound effect wise, Rygar for Arcade is great because all the sound effects sound great and very realistic. Overall, Rygar for Arcade has great music and sound effects.
Basically you have this grappling hook which you can use to either swing up a level or use to hurt/possibly kill an enemy. It was very easy to use the grappling hook, although ocassionally it got frustarting for me when the charcater wouldn't jump. Maybe it was just me...
Again, you basically have a grappling hook. You can use the grappling hook in all sorts of different ways. Eventually you will get special items such as special armor and a grappling hook which will allow you to fly across a ledge, leading towards new areas. There are two gameplay views (remisncent of Blaster Master): Side Scrolling (Walking) and Overhead (uhh..walking in the overworld) There are a few differences from the NES version. One there is a time limit. It seems to go faster in certain places. At the end of every stage you get a bonus points for how much time you have left. Basically, unlike the NES version, you can't really build your levels up too much. Overall, Rygar for Arcade has great gameplay.
Challenge (Medium)
The game was pretty difficult for its time, but it is relatively easy to beat nowadays.
Replay Value (High)
Like I said, I used to play this game a lot until my arcade got rid of it.
Wow, I love this game. If you can find this game at an arcade, make sure to play it!

With cable television access to local government information now more expensive, it is more important than ever that residents have options to view their government in action. An opportunity now under review presents an excellent way to meet that need.
Local government television channels have been around for years and have developed a devoted following. People who subscribed to basic cable from Bright House Networks could watch the Hernando County Commission, Brooksville Council and Spring Hill Fire Rescue District Commission meetings on Channel 19, and the Hernando School Board meetings on Channel 14. Those channels also showed meetings of other government agencies, various informational programming, and static bulletin board-type announcements about events in the community.
But a few months ago Bright House moved those government channels out of the basic cable tier and into the tier of digital channels above 600. County government was assigned 622 and the school district got 614. Bright House basic cable subscribers could no longer see those channels unless they subscribed to digital cable at a much higher price or paid $1 extra each month for a cable box that would allow them to access the government channels.
Bright House was broadly criticized for the move. People are watching their pennies, and paying more for cable just to access government channels was a distasteful option for some.
However, in other counties, home computers are replacing televisions for viewing government programming, and it is time that Hernando County embraced that technology.
In Pinellas and Citrus counties, for example, you can watch the meetings live on your computer through streaming video. And if you miss seeing the meeting live, you can watch an archived video of it. You can even link to specific items on the published agenda if you don't want to watch the whole meeting. You also can replay parts that are of particular interest to you, and you can even click a link to see the documents and other backup material that the elected officials are viewing on the dais.
It is neither difficult nor expensive to make the leap to streaming video. Estimates being reviewed now put the up-front cost at about $15,000, with an annual maintenance fee of about $10,000. Those costs likely would be shared by the County Commission and Clerk of the Court Karen Nicolai, who is responsible for maintaining the commission's records. If the school district followed suit, it would have to fund its own Web site improvements, as would the Brooksville council.
Other than those expenses, the service would be free to any resident who has access to a computer. And for those who have satellite television service, Web streaming would provide them their first chance to watch their elected representatives at work.
Providing such a convenient opportunity for residents to view the decision-making process of their public servants should be a priority always; it is a nominal investment to create a better-informed public. But it is even more timely, considering residents' harried schedules and tight budgets.
As government officials budgets are preparing — and paring — their budgets for the coming fiscal year, this is one new expenditure that is easily justified.

We're withdrawing our Broadband Voice and Hosted VoIP services from 1st December 2017, but we've still got plenty of cloud-based business phone systems to choose from.
Please Note - You can't set up call forwarding on your line if call barring is already active on it. To set up call forwarding, you'll need to turn off call barring, apply call forwarding then reapply call barring.
You can set up Call Forwarding either:
Through the VoIP Portal:
- Log into the VoIP Portal
- Select Manage my services.
- Select the line you'd like to forward calls from.
- Select the Call Manager tab.
- Select Forwarding.
- Choose from the following options. You can have more than one set up at a time:
- Immediately
- Busy/No answer
- Selected calls
- Tick the Activate box.
- Add the telephone number to forward calls to.
- Click Apply.
With your handset:
- Press the * key.
- Enter one of these codes:
- 21 to forward all calls.
- 61 to forward calls after 15 seconds.
- 67 to forward calls when your phone is engaged.
- Press the * key again.
- Enter the phone number you want to forward calls to.
- Press the # key.
To check Call Forwarding is on:

Selective Call Forwarding
You can use selective call forwarding to specify a list of telephone numbers to be redirected to another number whenever any of them calls. Or, you can redirect an anonymous number by setting up call forwarding after you have received a call where the caller has withheld their number.
To forward incoming calls from selected numbers;
- Dial 14256
- Follow the voice instructions, which will give you options to:
- Switch the service on and off.
- Add numbers to the list of selected numbers, including the last number to call in.
- Remove one or more numbers from the list of forwarded numbers.
- Review the list of currently forwarded numbers.
Remote access to Call Forwarding is not available.

Are Off-brand Career Moves Actually Good for Your Career?
Viewing on Levo:
Only you can see this list
Of course you've heard the news: Everyone has a personal brand and you'd better rush to identify yours. Your brand is how you're identified in the public sphere. It includes what type of work you do, the people you surround yourself with, the things you're known for, your fashion sense, your online presence. In short, it's the marketing of YOU.
Most people hate to be categorized or thought of as "only good at one thing," but fortunately, women are breaking out of stereotypes. Look at Tilda Swinton's controversial turn as a piece of human art at the Museum of Modern Art. Reviewers thought it was odd—maybe even off-brand—yet this exhibition was clearly part of her genre as a performance artist. It was bold.
Look at Jessica Alba's multitasking between acting and business at The Honest Company. She's motivated and intelligent.
Look at Condoleezza Rice's evolution from academia into politics… and back to academia. She's multilingual (fluent in Russian), musical (a concert pianist), and athletic (the first woman, along with Darla Moore, allowed membership at Augusta National Golf Club). Don't underestimate her.
These are just some of many women who empower themselves with versatility. They aren't deviating from their brand; they're expanding it. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
The good news: You control your personal brand. You set the flow, you can make and remake your reputation, and you can (and should!) feel free to evolve. Your cumulative experiences make you a different person over the course of your life, so live it up, make your mark, and unfold the life that represents the quintessential you.
Consistency is important for branding. It solidifies you as an expert and builds trust in your opinion. But don't fear being versatile. Unless you're taking on a major transformation, then your extracurricular activities are probably already a fluid extension of your brand. You've been cast as a certain character in life, but there are many acts in the play.
You aren't one-sided. Your character isn't flat. Rejoice in being different from the rest. Feel free to tap into related fields to strengthen your skills and expand your expertise. Being creative with your character keeps your brain active and makes you more interesting and well-rounded. This can give you a bit of an edge and provide a bridge to evolve as you grow older.
You are different from everyone else, and that's fantastic! Be authentic, be true to yourself, and take on new experiences with gusto. You're marketing yourself, and you are who you are. Just like Tilda, Jessica, and Condoleezza, you can multiply your value by amplifying your personal brand.
How do you deviate from your personal brand? How does it help? Tell us in the comments!
Ask Shavonne Dargan, Vice President of National Accounts at Live Nation Network, about how she deviates from her personal brand!

|Mark, you might want to purchase a clinometer and start measuring slopes...this one peaks in the high 30's, but a slip when it's frozen (or not) could hurt or kill you (it's the landing that hurts). The trail across is pretty good at the moment 6/26 and we did it in sneakers today at 5am no problemo- albeit a little nervous. It was soft as Ben and Jerry's by 10.
