We've got questions, and you've (maybe) got answers! With another week of TV gone by, we're lobbing queries left and right about shows including The Good Wife, Revolution, Arrow and Grey's Anatomy!
1 | As series finale twists go, iCarly's titular video star giving Freddie a final, warm goodbye kiss is kinda up there, no? And how fun were the flashbacks to Episode 1? Everyone was so young.
2 | Gillian and Gyp on Boardwalk Empire — the craziest TV pairing since…?
VIDEO | New Spoiler Alert!: Parks and Rec's Retta Dishes On Revenge, Scandal, Walking Dead and More!
3 | What kind of imaginary iPhone was Dexter using that allows you to type with plastic gloves on?
4 | Do you find yourself LOLing during Homeland whenever the Brodys' oft-MIA son pops up and spouts off a filler line? ("There's a TV in every room!" "The table's set.") Also, do you think the show is building to a Jessica/Mike and Carrie/Brody double wedding?
5 | On The Good Wife, was Alicia and Peter's bathroom shag session more or less shocking than Kalinda and Nick's dirty dessert encounter?
6 | Was the idea of Revenge's Daniel being a poet funnier than any sitcom this past week/month/year?
7 | Who else had a hard time buying How I Met Your Mother's all-female jury? Would that ever really happen?
RELATED | Ask Ausiello: Spoilers on Once, Boardwalk Empire, Castle, Community, True Blood and More!
8 | When and how did 90210's Liam become a full-fledged movie star, and Ade a much sought-out opener for an A-List musician?
9 | What, exactly, did Bones' Angela see in that ridiculous, wannabe-Banksy street artist? We'd prefer a settled life with Hodgins any day of the week.
VIDEO & PHOTOS | Bones Exclusive: Cyndi Lauper Returns for Twisty 150th Episode
10 | Has anyone been less worthy of an action-packed 10-episode rescue mission than Revolution's dim, limpy Danny? And who did you think was more likely to passionately embrace upon reuniting (yet didn't): Miles/Monroe or Miles/Rachel? Finally, does NBC continue to have the most spoiler-tastic promo department ever, seeing as it gave away the final game-changing moment of this midseason finale?
11 | Did Xtina's peculiar brand of judging on this week's The Voice — barely displaying enthusiasm for any of her fellow coaches' contestants — contribute to the ouster of her sole remaining team member Dez Duron?
12 | How did The New Normal keep that Shannen Doherty cameo under wraps?!
13 | Can we get a full-length version of NCIS'
DeFazio DiNozzo crooning the complete Laverne & Shirley theme song? And how sweet was it to see frying pan-wielding Abby save Ziva's bacon?
14 | Does saying you can't stand Parenthood's Max make you a bad person?
15 | Are we concerned Sons of Anarchy's Jax ventured too deep into Clay territory with his forced drugging of Wendy? Speaking of Drea de Mateo's reformed junkie, is she fast becoming the show's only redeeming character?
PHOTOS | Sons of Anarchy Finale First Look: Jax and [Spoiler] Face Off; Otto's Torment Continues
16 | Did anyone predict Arrow's reveal about John Barrowman's character?! But the biggest question from this week's episode — aside from how did Oliver develop Superman-like superspeed — has to be how does the crush-worthy Helena keep her hair and makeup so perfect under that helmet? (And can Jessica De Gouw be promoted to series regular, like, now?)
17 | What was your favorite part of Supernatural's cleverly 'toontastic episode? We're voting for the talking cat, which needs to become a recurring fixture.
18 | Speaking of cats…. Did Cam's form-fitting costume on Modern Family drive home how great Eric Stonestreet is looking these days? Or were you unable to concentrate on anything other than his furry codpiece?
19 | Did Scarlett's Nashville makeover seem less She's All That and more "Oh hey, I forgot I had this in the back of my closet?" Aside from the plunging neckline, didn't that dress pretty much look like everything else the character has worn this season?
20 | Every time you think you've become immune to American Horror Story: Asylum's gore, hasn't the show upped the ick factor considerably and proven you wrong? And will Lana ever catch a break?
21 | Was Mariah Carey smuggling all eight reindeer, Rudolph, the fat man and a Costco-sized fruitcake into the cleavage she sported during Christmas in Rockefeller Center? Because her silver bells had nowhere to go but up and out.
22 | Another Vampire Diaries dance gone by has us wondering: When will they bring Rebekah back?!
RELATED | Glee's Chris Colfer Talks Klaine's Realization and His Big Apple Dreams for Kurt
23 | Glee managed to get Mercedes and Sam in the same zip code this week, yet didn't give the former lovebirds a single stinkin' moment together?

3 Kid-Friendly Father's Day Gift Ideas
Father's Day is just around the corner! Looking for simple, creative ways your kids can show dad how much they love him? Here are three kid-friendly gift ideas that'll bring a smile to dad's face:
Make a Card
This Superhero-themed Father's Day card lets your little ones make their mark – literally. You'll need a canvas, scrapbook stickers, paint (blue, red and tan), paint brushes, Mod Podge®, a black Sharpie®, a paper plate and probably some baby wipes for easy cleanup. Your tot will provide his own handprint and footprint for the body and cape and some very basic art skills are required for the rest.
Or, if dad is a Star Wars fan, this Handprint Yoda Father's Day card may be just the perfect crafty gift. This one requires a little more artistic skill, but don't let that stop you from trying. You'll need card stock, paint (light green, dark green, gray, brown and white) and a black Sharpie. Oh, and your child's handprint, too! Paint his palm green and four fingers brown. Then, place his hand directly on the center of the card. The rest is up to you or one of your older children. Add details to make it look more like Yoda. Don't forget to write "Yoda Best Dad".
Design a T-Shirt
This Father's Day T-shirt is a great way to get the entire family involved. Use fabric paint to place the kiddos' handprints on the back of a T-shirt. You can be as creative as you want with this. Get a family photo professionally printed on the front, or use iron-on transfers to add a unique design or saying. Either way, this is a sweet idea to cherish the moment long after Father's Day.
Cook a Meal
Surprise dad with a homemade grilled pizza. This easy, grilled pizza recipe is a fun way to get the kids involved in making something tasty for dad. A ready-made pizza crust or pre-made dough will do, along with dad's favorite toppings. Just fire up the grill, and give it a go.
Another option is a hot dog bar. Round up the kids to help with the set up and toppings while you fire up the grill. Have a variety of old favorites and new, adventurous combinations. Who knows? You might just find a new family favorite.

A PR Check-Up on Dr. Pepper's New Ad Campaign
It is an odd fact about life that we spend our younger years wanting to fit in and be like everyone else, then grow up and yearn to be different than everyone else.
Dr. Pepper's new marketing strategy targets the demographic that fits the latter part of that sentence. The beverage brand is rolling out a series of TV commercials featuring compelling individuals such as Mikaela Mayer, a former model turned boxer, and Justin "Nordic Thunder" Howard, air guitar champion.
Dr. Pepper's campaign makes sense from a PR perspective. Instead of featuring larger-than-life entertainers and athletes with looks and talents few average Americans can relate to, Dr. Pepper has chosen to focus on people more like us—people with notable dreams and accomplishments but also idiosyncrasies and quirks. (Seriously, how can you not like someone who has mastered the air guitar?) Quirk is PR gold because it is sincere.
But will that sincerity translate into customer loyalty? Can a bottle of soda really make us feel unique and special? Dr. Pepper thinks it can. For a brand that views itself as a singular presence in the uber-competitive soda category, Dr. Pepper believes partnering with the exceptional people featured in its marketing campaign is a natural and apt brand alignment.
In PR theory this appears to be a logical association, but ultimately the public will decide if Dr. Pepper's ad campaign lives or dies.

In Illinois, at the time, "Thirteen different bills relating to the rights of infants born alive as the result of a botched abortion were proposed during the 92nd (2001-2002) and 93rd (2003-2004) Illinois General Assemblies. See The Illinois Analogs to the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act. Five bills - 92-1095, 92-1662, 93-1082, 93-2631, and 93-2855 - were essentially copies of the federal Born-Alive Infants Protection Act of 2002 (BAIPA). However, only the fifth bill contained a "preservation clause", (about how a person is defined, which solved problem A., above), similar to the federal BAIPA."
"None of the bills in the 93rd assembly made it to a full Senate vote. Senate Bill 93-1083 (didn't have the clause at first) never made it out of the Health & Human Services Committee, of which Obama was Chair. Senate Bills 93-2631 and 93-2855 (this last had the clause) never made it out of the Rules Committee, of which Obama was not a member."
So he never had a chance to vote on any that were like the federal BAIPA on the Senate floor.
When the Senate bill 93-1083 went to the Health and Human Services committee which Obama chaired, it was amended to have the Federal "preservation clause", but after discussion, the bill was killed by the majority of Dems-(6) to Rep-(4). Obama cast his, the 7th vote against, with the Dems. The Dems (and others) were still unsure about this bill, concerned how the 1975 law would be affected and other implications.
The bill did eventually pass in Illinois, in 2005, after much revision.
"The 2003 bill could have affected the way courts interpret the 1975 law, which Planned Parenthood and the Illinois State Medical Society contended could have far-reaching implications", & "In 2005, Illinois lawmakers inserted an extra provision asserting that the law would not affect "existing federal or state law regarding abortion.", (this solved problem B.). "The measure passed, without opposition from Planned Parenthood and with the support of groups opposed to abortion."- chicagotribune.com
The point here is that Obama is, of course, not a baby-killing hate machine. There are fear-mongers out there who look for any way to demonize the pro-choice movement, when it is pretty obvious (after some serious research) that the Illinois Senate Dems were looking for a well-thought out and necessary bill, and refused to vote on gut-reaction. It is easy to say "Obama voted against saving babies born alive!" and a little harder to take the time to understand the intricacies of the bill and of the system in general. Can you imagine that man looking at his beautiful little girls and arguing that any child should be left to die? You can't, because he wouldn't, and never did.
I want to thank Ruth, a voice of reason at thismodernage.wordpress.com, for her careful research into this issue and specifically into the bill that was introduced onto the Illinois Senate floor in 2003. When she gets back to me with a blog or website I will credit her work properly.

Teens reject parents as Facebook friends
An American survey shows many older teenagers ignore friend requests from parents. Something to hide or a bid for independence?
When a new 'friend request' pops up with its little red flag on the top of the Facebook profile page, most of us are curious and at least a bit pleased that someone new wants to be in touch.
But what if it's a member of your family? Do they want to share photographs from the Christmas holidays and embarrassing favourite music videos? Or are they snooping?
A survey of American high school students has shown a surprising number manage to keep their online social and family life separate. 35 per cent of the students whose parents were on Facebook weren't friends with them. Of those, 38 per cent had ignored a friend request from their mother or father.
For 16 per cent, however, allowing their parents access to everything on Facebook was a condition of being allowed to create their own profile.
Battles between parents wanting to make sure their beloved children are safe and teenagers desperate to establish their own life beyond the family, are nothing new. Many adults, young and old, like to keep friends and family separate.
The company behind the survey said Facebook was a 'new frontier' in family relationships. But some scientists and sociologists warn that this 'frontier' could be dangerous.
Social networks like Facebook, as well as mini-blogging websites like Twitter, are making us and our relationships colder and more superficial, they say.
The British neuroscientist Susan Greenfield claims social networks fulfill our basic human need to belong but train our brains to expect relationships - even just talking to someone - to be easy to control. The fast pace of real conversations gives 'no opportunity to think up clever or witty responses,' she says; they 'require a sensitivity to voice tone and body language.'
A recent magazine article about 26 year old Mark Zuckerberg, who founded Facebook when he was a student at Harvard University, observed: 'He approaches conversation as a way of exchanging data as rapidly and efficiently as possible, rather than as a recreational activity.'
Keeping it real?
Perhaps the geeks have already inherited the earth. After all Mr Zuckerberg is a business phenomenon, whose company is valued at £31.5 billion.
But should the rest of us run our social lives his way? And are teenagers who want to keep parents out of their other life on Facebook being mean and secretive or demonstrating their love? Perhaps the mark of true friendship is to keep your relationship confined to the real world.
You Decide
- Friends are family you can choose. Is this a good definition?
- Do you feel differently about people you keep in touch with via technology rather than face-to-face?
- Before modern technology, people did all their communication by writing letters. Write a letter about your weekend to a relative or friend you don't see very often; how does this differ from the way you would write a Facebook post?
- In groups, try to think of an idea for a business based on some aspect of your social life.
Some People Say...
"Real life is messy – it's easier to control friendships online."
What do you think?
- Does Facebook matter?
- With 500 million users, Facebook has become an accepted part of our social lives extremely quickly – the site was only launched in 2004.
- Why do families get involved in a teenager's online exploration?
- Often parents feel they should make sure there is no bullying going on, and want to check the people they are meeting online are safe to be in contact with.
- Do teenagers fight back?
- This survey found only 9 per cent of high school students restricted the parts of their Facebook profile parents could see. But most teenagers want, at some point, to assert their independence, which can cause arguments about social life off and online.

Golf Channel Takes a Mulligan on 'I Have a Dream' Tweet
Martin Luther King Jr. made history on Aug. 28, 1963, with his rousing "I Have a Dream" speech. Fifty years later, the Golf Channel fell into the sand trap of trying to join the conversation commemorating the event.
In a tweet that has since been deleted, The Golf Channel tried to prompt its followers to tweet their own "golf" dreams to honor the occasion:
Instead, it received a bunch of critical responses from Twitter users:
@GolfChannel Really? Comparing civil rights to GOLF? Terrible.
— Bill Hoppe (@BillHoppeNHL) August 28, 2013
@GolfChannel I have a dream that the great sand trap of injustice will be avoided by all fairway shots of equality.
— Philip Bump (@pbump) August 28, 2013
#DreamDay I have a dream that I'm playing golf
— Ryan Broderick (@ryanpbroderick) August 28, 2013
.@GolfChannel Stop worrying about the back swing, start worrying about the backlash.
— Brian (@BrianYarvual) August 28, 2013
In the Golf Channel's defense, it is part of NBC television network, which has been promoting the #DreamDay hashtag for the the past day across several of its digital properties. But unlike some of NBC's other brands, The Golf Channel's tweet only seemed to take away from the genuine conversation around the event.
Share YOUR dream on the 50th anniversary of MLK's "I Have a Dream" speech using hashtag #DreamDay!
— NBC (@nbc) August 28, 2013
UPDATE: A rep for The Golf Channel provided Mashable with the following statement:
"The tweet in question was not appropriate and was pulled minutes after being posted this morning. The original intent was to celebrate this important date in history, and we regret that we failed to meet that standard."

"Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment." (1 Timothy 6:17)
The Apostle Paul here is challenging his young pastor Timothy to command those who are rich not to be arrogant or put their hope in wealth. But who are the rich? Think about this: if your household made $50,000 in 2014, 99.69% of the world's population made less than you did. That's a pretty staggering statistic. And when we compare ourselves against the sum total of people who have lived throughout history, we can't deny it. The rich Paul's referring to? That's us. So what do we do about it?
This passage is commanding us –not suggesting or hinting—but commanding us to put our hope in God who is the provider of all rather than our wealth. The Bible emphasizes this because God understands this is the natural trajectory of our hearts. When we start to have things, things start to have us. Our stuff fills us with pride and makes us feel powerful. If we're not careful, we'll start to tie our hope and our joy to what we have and our ability to acquire it.
That's a dangerous road to start down and eventually we wake up wondering how we got so far off track. The Bible says every good gift comes from God, and it all belongs to Him. We can't take credit for what we've been given. And oh, by the way, Jesus said to whom much is given, much is required. It's not wrong to have riches, but we should not cling to them or pride ourselves in attaining them. And with the abundant blessings we've been given should come an overflow of radical generosity to others.
Prayer: Father I thank You for the abundant blessings You have given me. Rid my heart of any arrogance or love of money and replace it with gratitude and hope in You. Open my eyes to opportunities to share Your blessings with others. Amen.

The Kidd blood group system (ISBT009), identified in 1951, was the ninth blood group system and it is considered the ninth most clinically important. Antigens of the Kidd blood group system are expressed on type 3 glycoproteins, also known as the urea transporter B (UT-B). The JK protein is expressed on red blood cells (RBCs) and in the endothelium of the descending vasa recta and epithelial surfaces of the renal inner medulla.1 Evidence of the function of the Kidd blood group system first came to light from the observation in 1982 that Jk (a-b-) RBCs were resistant to lysis in 2 M urea in contrast to RBCs with normal Kidd antigens. RBCs having normal JK phenotypes will lyse within 30 s as the urea is transported into the cells, followed by a rapid osmotic influx of water. Because of the lack of urea transport and therefore no water uptake, Jk (a-b-) cells remain intact after two minutes, which demonstrates the role of the JK protein in facilitating rapid urea transport across the RBC membrane.2 The major physiologic role for urea transporters is in the urinary concentrating mechanism. However, no clinical sequela was found in two patients with the Jk null phenotype suggesting the presence of compensatory mechanisms.3
The paper by Caprioli et al.4 published in this issue of the Revista Brasileira de Hematologia e Hemoterapia investigates possible relations between the absence of Jka or Jkb antigens in patients with chronic kidney disease. This is interesting because individuals with the Jk (a-b-) phenotype had lower urine-concentrating ability, however if patients with chronic kidney disease present some difference in the Kidd phenotype, the distribution remains unknown. Moreover, the location of the JK antigens on renal cells raises fascinating questions about the impact of the Kidd system antigens on kidney disease.
Caprioli et al.,4 found no difference in phenotype frequencies or the distribution of Jka and Jkb antigens when they compared patients with chronic kidney disease and controls, however the null phenotype was not observed in the groups. This suggests that the absence of Jka or Jkb does not influence the development of chronic kidney disease in these chronic kidney disease patients, although the influence of the absence of both has not been studied. Several case reports suggest a role of the Kidd System on renal graft survival in kidney transplants. Lerut et al.5 demonstrated in a retrospective cohort study of 370 kidney transplants that mismatch of the recipient/graft at the JK locus was associated with more interstitial inflammation than when they were matched as observed at biopsy of the transplanted kidney, although overall graft survival was not influenced.
The authors suggest that in the absence of UT-B, another transporter, such as UT-A, would not allow urea to accumulate in the renal medulla, thereby protecting against renal dysfunction, however no functional experiments were performed to affirm this conclusion. Finally, while the function of the JK protein is known, future studies would be expected to result in a more complete understanding about the impact of Kidd system antigens on kidney disease.

Investing in the stock market today is not for everyone, but if you're looking to invest money and don't know where to start, read this article in full to find what it takes to make yourself some money.
This investing in the stock market today article can benefit anyone who follows the tips below, and we hope you learn as much as you can.
Cultivating the discipline and focus to invest money regularly is a lot easier if you have defined your investment goals. Establish separate accounts for specific goals like college savings and retirement so you can tailor your choice of investment vehicles accordingly. Your state's 529 Plan might be a great option for educational investments. An aggressive stock portfolio could be advantageous for a young person with retirement decades away; but a middle-aged person would want to consider less volatile options like bonds or certificates of deposit for at least a portion of retirement savings.
When the stock market takes a dip, do not distress. Instead, look at the fall as an opportunity to purchase stocks at bargain prices. Many smart investors have made fortunes this way, because the market will inevitably rise again. Being able to see past the doom and gloom can be very profitable.
Remember that individual stocks do not necessarily represent the entire market. A decent stock may soar while the overall market tanks, while a bad stock may plunge in value when the rest of the market is thriving. This is why it's a good idea to diversify the types of stock you own, choosing stocks from a variety of companies in many different industries.
You should compare stock prices to a number of factors in order to truly assess the value of any stock. If you are trying to determine whether or not a stock price is over or under-valued, consider the price to earnings ratio, cash flow and related factors. Also analyze the sector or industry the business is in, as some sectors grow slower than others.
PIPS WIZARD PRO – Can it give you winning trades?
Remember that your portfolio does not have to be perfect overnight. Ideally, you are aiming for only about 15 to 20 stocks, spread across seven or more sectors or industries. However, if you are unable to do all this from the start, choose something safe in a growing sector that you know first. As you get yields to reinvest, you can expand your portfolio across the suggested spectrum.
If you are investing in a stock, be aware of potential changes and prepare for them. The stock market is like a roller coaster, always going up and down, and it is crucial that you are prepared for this to happen. If you feel like you need to know more about these changes, do your research on the Internet.
To be successful in stock market investing, it is essential to read widely. Practice reading annual reports and understand how basic accounting methods are used to display company information. Look up unfamiliar terms in a good online glossary. Empowering yourself with investment information can go a long way in increasing your success.
The are two methods that can be used to buy stocks. The first way is to purchase stocks through Dividend Reinvestment Plans or Direct Investment Plans. Since not all companies offer a Dividend Reinvestment Plan or Direct Investment Plan, the other way to purchase stocks is by using a brokerage house. When it comes to brokerages, there are full service brokerages and discount brokerages. If money is not a consideration, full service brokerages offer more assistance than the discount brokerages.
You are now prepared to enter or return to the wonderful world of investing. Weigh your investments, watch the markets and stay on top of all the information available, in order to help you maximize your profits while minimizing your risk. The greatest investors are those who never stop learning and strive to succeed.

Earth first touched planet Mars
On the Golden Plain,
When forty years ago
The search for life began.
Where barren outflow channels
From the Tharsis ridge
May once have carried water,
Where something might have lived.
Viking One took images,
Surveyed the dunes nearby
And analyzed geology
Beneath the pinkish sky.
Its tests for life seemed negative,
But we don't understand
Why something used the nutrients
Dripped on a bit of sand.
We've learned so much in forty years,
We found Martian organics,
Maybe Viking did discover
by Kate Rauner
It's possible we have seen life processes on Mars. Thanks to phys.org for covering Gilbert V. Levin's and Patricia Ann Straat's paper "The Case for Extant Life on Mars and Its Possible Detection by the Viking Labeled Release Experiment."
In which they reconsider the results of the Viking LR experiment in light of recent findings on Mars and recent proposals for inorganic substances that may mimic the observed metabolism-like processes. They argue that none of the proposed abiotic substances sufficiently explains the Viking results, and that Martian microbes should still be considered as the best explanation of the results. In Astrobiology, October 2016, 16(10): 798-810. DOI: 10.1089/ast.2015.1464

I create figurative sculpture that celebrates the strength and diversity of the human spirit. My goal is to engage, inspire and provoke viewers with my work.
In 2009 my husband and I spent two years living in North African. This has had a significant impact on my work. The richness and diversity of the ethnic groups, the plethora of Greek and Roman ruins, sculptures and mosaics and the incredible landscapes have provided powerful imagery to draw upon.
I am drawn to earthy, tactile surfaces and symbolic impressions. I love to simplify and elongate the human form. Working with clay allows for a direct, spontaneous and playful approach, enabling me to capture the spirit of the figure. While I still plan to work in clay, I also work in bronze, resin and hydrastone and am always excited to explore new materials for my work.
My work has been described as ethereal. I hope to create contemplative pieces that have a spiritual connection, a connection that ancient cultures had with the earth, a connection that we yearn to recapture in the world today.
In November 2011, I spent 6 weeks in India upgrading my yoga teacher training and absorbing the amazing atmosphere of Southern India. The Chakra Series was influenced by my time in India as well as my many years of yoga.
I have returned to my roots on Vancouver Island after spending over 30 years in Calgary, teaching art, and raising my family and am enjoying the opportunity to focus on making art.
My work is in private collections in Western Canada, the US, Europe and North Africa.

The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) recently submitted two proposed Reliability Standards to improve the real-time data exchange capabilities of Reliability Coordinators, Transmission Operators, and Balancing Authorities. The modified Reliability Standards (IRO-002-5 and TOP-001-4) add new obligations requiring Reliability Coordinators, Transmission Operators, and Balancing Authorities to have real-time data exchange capabilities with redundant and diversely routed data exchange infrastructure within their primary control centers. These entities would also be required to test their redundant functionality at least every 90 days.
The purpose of the standards is to ensure that these entities, which have significant responsibility for ensuring the real-time reliability of the bulk power system, do not lose their data exchange capabilities as the result of any single malfunction or component failure.
Although FERC has not yet acted on the submission, the proposed modifications respond to directives in FERC Order No. 817, which directed NERC to make modifications to the TOP and IRO Reliability Standards to address (i) monitoring of non-BES facilities by Transmission Operators, (ii) redundancy and diverse routing of data exchange capabilities, and (iii) testing of alternate or less frequently used data exchange capabilities.

Q. My tower computer is fairly new and works fine. But my desk
looks messy with all the wires. Are wireless and USB via
Bluetooth really an effective way to remove cable clutter?
A. You won't be able to get rid of all the wires (you'll need
power cords and a monitor cable at least), but you should be
able to make a dent in the clutter by taking some or all of
these steps. First, look for a wireless keyboard and mouse. They
are frequently offered as a package, both locally and online.
This will immediately remove two cables from your desk area.
Next, do you use a headset, for instance with an online phone
service such as Skype, or do you use headphones when you play
music on your computer? If so, you can pick up a Bluetooth USB
adapter, along with a Bluetooth enabled headset and/or
headphones, and eliminate a few more cables from your computer.
If you have an RJ45 cable connecting your system to a router in
your home office, you could install a wireless Ethernet adapter
in your computer, either as a PCI adapter, or one that plugs
into a USB port. One more possibility – if you like to run an
external USB attached hard drive for backups and security (a
good idea), you might take a look at the new Imation Pro WX
Wireless USB Hard Drive. Clearly you won't get the performance
of a directly attached USB 2.0 drive, but for overnight backups
it might work just fine.

Grand Dragon Sue Green holds a cigarette between her hot-pink fingernails and watches the men in her klavern slice through burlap bags with buck knives. Inside the garage crammed with timber, old blankets, tools and other assorted junk, the sacks' odor chokes like mustard gas.
"Burlap smell pretty good, don' it, Bubba?" one of the plainclothes knights asks a friend.
Outside, it's cold and drizzling, but the knights won't let the weather spoil their ceremony. Fresh from a recruitment rally and stuffed with gumbo and weenies, the new, Conroe-based Invisible Empire of the Ku Klux Klan is going to light three crosses behind Green's red brick house.
Green is a 60-year-old grandmother who wears a jacket over a gray T-shirt with "KKK" printed in Confederate colors. She watches with pride as her 20-year-old son, David, staples burlap to a ten-foot cross. Another son, 41-year-old Ken, sits on a freezer and cuts through another sack. Ken says he supports the klavern but won't join because his best friend is black.
Beside Ken, a CD player bellows music from revered Klan singer Johnny Rebel.
"Some niggers don't die / they just smell that way," Johnny twangs over pedal-steel guitar. The klavern sings along with glee.
This is Mr. Rebel's prime motif. Whether strolling the stinky streets of Coontown or lurking mischievously in a woodpile, his songs' African-Americans are a great source of amusement for the Invisible Empire.
As the men wrap the crosses, the women soak torches in a bucket of diesel fuel. Inside the house are the klavern's unofficial seamstress and Shaggy, their crippled mascot. Shaggy, a mutt recovering from a run-in with a car, was around even before the Invisible Empire splintered from the American Knights last year. He's such a part of the klavern that the seamstress is designing him a robe.
Like all the other robes, this one will have to be washed at home. Too many dry cleaners have deliberately burned holes in the robes. The Klan just can't get a break.
By now, the seamstress is one mask short of a full set of uniforms. And that's not the only worry: The Harris County nighthawk -- security guard for the klavern -- got lost near Highway 105 on his way back from dropping off the rental van they drove to the rally. So Green has to go pick him up. Renting a van is a necessary hassle, since members say local authorities could identify them if they drove their own vehicles to events.
When the grand dragon and Harris County nighthawk return -- the latter with a pistol strapped to his leg -- the men set up the crosses in the muddy woods 50 yards behind Green's house.
But there's another problem: They don't have enough diesel to soak the burlap. Ken and another nonmember, whose exceptionally large noggin earns him the nickname Waterhead, have to drive back to Montgomery to restock.
A miffed grand dragon returns to the house, sits at the kitchen table and takes swigs from a can of Diet Coke. This Klan stuff is hard work.
Green's entry into the group came two decades ago, when she married a member of the Waco chapter of the American Knights of the KKK. After a traditional wedding, the couple donned their uniforms and a reverend Klansman made them lifelong mates in the eyes of the Klan.
Headquartered in Indiana, the AK was then one of the most organized and hard-core Klan groups in the country, according to national hate group trackers.
But Green says she grew tired of her affiliation with what she describes as a group that spewed hate and recruited violent ex-cons. She decided to form her own klavern of the Texas-Oklahoma Invisible Empire of the KKK, which she describes as a low-key, nonprofit white rights organization. While proud of her efforts, she asked to use the pseudonym Green, explaining that she might be fired from her regular job if her real identity were published.
After one year, Green says, her klavern has 25 members. Besides being proud of their pigmentation, they take pride in being a different kind of Klan. Members say they don't allow criminals or drugs and they absolutely do not drink on meeting days. Green says she runs a background check on every prospect. And the Invisible Empire claims it is not a hate group, unlike the Cleveland, Texas-based White Camelia Knights.
During the Christmas season, Green says, klavern members call Montgomery County schools without revealing their Klan ties and get lists of needy families. They drop food baskets on the families' doorsteps, along with cards that say, "Merry Christmas from the Ku Klux Klan." Some of the families are black and Hispanic, but Green doesn't have a problem with that.
In fact, Green proudly explains that she rejected one applicant who said he wanted to join for the express purpose of hanging blacks. She says this while sitting at home in front of an altered yellow street sign that reads, "Caution: Hit Nigger Children at Play."
Members also say the prominent klavern positions of women also sets them apart from some Klan branches. Not only is Green the grand dragon, she's also the higher-ranked grand klaliff. Their Exalted Cyclops, or local leader, is also a woman. The EC says people shouldn't fear the Invisible Empire's uniforms.
"To me, it's like the pope," the Exalted Cyclops says. "He wears a robe."
Members and their leader all insist they don't hate minorities -- they just want them to stick to themselves.
But Joe Roy, of the Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery, Alabama, says there's no difference between Green's Klan and the others. "We have a saying down here in Alabama: You can put lipstick on a pig and call it Monique, but it's still a pig," Roy says.
Of the 676 hate groups Roy tracked nationwide last year, only the Klan showed a decrease in membership -- he estimated it at roughly 5,000 to 7,500. Klaverns have been so hungry for members that many are putting women in positions of power, which was unheard of years ago, he says.
The Klan just doesn't have the same mystique it used to, and with the prevalence of other hate groups and their Web sites, Roy says, "you can find something to fit your hatred better than the Klan." Infighting and other problems have also hurt the Klan, he says.
The Invisible Empire splintered from the American Knights, which was one of the fastest-growing factions until their national leader got thrown in prison last year for holding a television reporter and cameraman at gunpoint after an interview. Since then, the AKs dropped from 33 to 18 chapters nationwide, Roy says.
Mark Pitcavage monitors extremist groups from his Columbus, Ohio, office for the Anti-Defamation League. He says Klan groups try to recruit in one of two ways: either by being blatantly racist, like the American Knights, or by saying they're just a white civil rights group, like the Invisible Empire.
"The reality is, they are hate groups," Pitcavage says. "The Klan is founded on hate."
Pitcavage doesn't even consider groups like the Invisible Empire to be the real Klan, which he says hasn't existed as a unified organization since the mid-1940s. It peaked in the 1920s with a few million members and considerable influence, then gradually splintered into regional or local groups that never had more than 10,000 combined members.
Which is exactly why Green and her group decided to hold a recruitment rally north of Houston on November 2. They're trying to get the numbers up.
On a cold, rainy Saturday, a white van carrying 12 Klan members rolls into Montgomery's Cedar Brake Park. State, county and municipal police agencies put 75 officers in the park. The cops and Klan in the park equal one-fifth of the town's population.
Members of the sheriff's tactical squad gather in a pavilion, their riot gear lined up neatly on the ground. Their expressions are as ugly as the weather. Green inadvertently scheduled the rally for the opening day of deer season. Dozens of cops and deputies had to change their schedules to baby-sit in case of violence.
"Next time, check your calendar," some of them tell the knights as they step out of the van.
Park entrances are blocked off, and the cops relegate the rally to the rear of the park. The only blacks on hand are wearing law enforcement badges. An African-American councilwoman scheduled a barbecue picnic and domino competition for the black community on the other side of town.
Klavern members armed with various flags -- U.S., Texas, confederate and POW -- amble into the barricades, with four black-robed nighthawks circling the eight white robes. Some wear sunglasses behind their masks. One nighthawk wears a Halloween witch's wig, the scraggly black locks jutting out from under his hood. He says later that it's all part of his disguise.
About a dozen spectators show up, not counting Klan sympathizers Ken and Waterhead. Four members of the county Democratic Party stand behind two gigantic Ron Kirk campaign posters. The low turnout is disappointing for the klavern, especially after the series of night rides they held to get the word out. For the past few weeks, they've cruised slowly through Conroe and Montgomery, throwing rolled-up leaflets about "black apes" and the Zionist Occupational Government onto front lawns.
A tiny megaphone emerges from under one of the white robes, and before the man holding it can speak, he accidentally hits a switch that makes the bullhorn blare out a metallic recording of "Dixie." All the hoods immediately swivel in his direction, but he does his best to play it off, nonchalantly raising it to his lips.
This knight, who calls himself James Confederate, launches into a history lesson not found in traditional schooling. He claims blacks commit 90 percent of crimes, that black men love to hook white girls on drugs, and that descendants of slaves should be grateful for Christian last names.
"Our government is selling out to the blacks," James Confederate shrieks.
A hundred yards away in the pavilion, Montgomery Mayor Mary Sue Timmerman braces herself against the cold and anxiously waits for the Invisible Empire to leave. Then she'll take the cops out for lunch, a way of saying thanks for having to miss out on that ten-point buck.
"This is the first time I've seen them, and I hope the last," she says. "I don't even think they like themselves."
An hour into the rally, the drizzle turns to monsoon, and the Klan packs up before the solemn rally can turn into a wet-robe contest.
As cops and spectators depart, a police helicopter buzzes overhead, indicating how seriously the law took this rally. All this effort for 12 people and a megaphone that whistles "Dixie."
While the klavern claims to have recruited eight members from the rally, there are no new faces at the following cross-lighting.
The members finally get the burlap soaked, don their robes and follow flashlight beams into the muddy woods. Ken and a teenage couple who aren't members follow in a Jeep.
At the crosses, klavernists grab unlit torches and try to form a circle. Some knights have stepped too far away. A nighthawk gives directions ("closer, closer no, wait, back up") for a minute or so before the wavering oval transforms into a true circle.
Green pulls a torch from the bucket, holds it up for Waterhead to light and ignites the others' torches. "Do you accept the light?" she asks them.
Waterhead holds Green's torch so she can read a short speech about the ceremony. It turns out that cross-lighting is all about stamping out ignorance and superstition. That, and warning about the dangers of interracial marriage.

The brief speech ends; they drop their torches at the crosses, which blaze up instantly, releasing the suffocating stench of diesel and burlap. They stand in silence, staring at the crackling flames and thick plumes of smoke. Ken snaps pictures from the Jeep.
Breaking the silence, Green yells, "White power!" The others respond in kind.
Because the burlap didn't soak long, the fires dim after a few minutes.
Then the rain starts to pour down on them. With nothing else to do, the Conroe Klavern of the Texas-Oklahoma Invisible Empire of the Ku Klux Klan trudges back home for leftover weenies.

"Totally amazing" is a common afterthought. A great buy.
One of the finest realistic vibrators for ladies on a budget. Power beyond anything else, the motor does not loose strength at all - forcing every wave outwards in a finger-numbing tingle. The motor, positioned near the upper portion of the shaft, radiates the force right through the rubber surface directly into your body. It's one of our favorite strong vibrators too because the size fits everybody - its small-to-medium generic size is great for everyone. It's not too big, nor too small.
The mighty soft rubber can bend a little making it easy to insert. A heavily veined shaft adds some visual appeal while the rounded head sure feels like a man's penis. The surface has an elegant powdery feeling and it's higher quality than you expect for the lower price point. The rubber isn't old-fashioned smelly rubber either, it's actually quite luxurious! A strong suction cup graces the bottom of the American Penis Vibrator. It's extremely sticky so bounce away to your hearts delight!
We think this is the single best vibrating strap on dildo attachment ever made. The wide suction cup will fit in any size O-ring. If you are worried about the attachment falling out or moving around, this will ease your concerns. Slide it through the ring and it stays put, and even looks great too. You'd think it was designed to be a harness dildo in the first place because it fits so perfectly. The 2 foot long cord attaches to the battery pack by plug-in jack, so if you're mood in the mood for vibrations, leave the controller to the side and tuck the cord into the harness. Voila - 2 sex toys in 1 - dildo & vibrator! Regardless if you're planning on using it with a strap on or not, many women think this is the strongest realistic vibrator they've ever had and we would have to agree.
American Penis is ranked the 2nd strongest vibrator in our sex toy blog.

CLEAR is pleased to announce that CORU hosted the Board Member Training: Achieving Excellence in Regulatory Governance program in Dublin, Ireland, on June 25, 2013. This offering marks the first time the program has been held outside of North America. CLEAR's Board Member Training program is an interactive training program designed to prepare regulatory board members for effective service. The program consists of five modules, covering different facets of the role of regulatory board members, from the foundations of occupational and professional regulation to the various competence, disciplinary and rulemaking responsibilities they hold.
CORU is Ireland's first multi-profession health regulator and is responsible for regulating various professions in the health and social care fields. CORU provides regulatory oversight to twelve different health and social care professions by setting standards for professionals and the educational institutions that train them, maintaining a register of all qualified professionals, promoting professional development and conducting Fitness to Practice hearings if a professional's competence or conduct is called into question. Ginny Hanrahan, CEO of CORU, was instrumental in bringing the training to the organization and its twelve registration boards. "CORU recently undertook CLEAR's Board Member Training programme with our Council and Board members. CLEAR brings an international perspective on regulation and governance, with a unique focus on the needs of regulators of professions, based on practical and varied experience. It was a really useful session for all involved and more than met our expectations."
In combination with CLEAR's third International Congress on Professional and Occupational Regulation held June 27-28, 2013 in Edinburgh, Scotland, this Board Member Training program provides another opportunity to enhance the international collaboration of regulatory bodies. CLEAR President, Michelle Z. Pedersen with the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies says: "It is truly momentous, that CLEAR has the privilege of offering its Board Member Training Program for the first time outside of North America, hosted by CORU. CLEAR's enthusiasm to be partnering with CORU is overwhelming, and provides an exciting opportunity and significant milestone in furthering the promotion of truly international regulatory excellence, and in solidifying CLEAR's reputation as the premier resource for professional regulation, across several countries. I know I speak for many in recognizing and celebrating this exceptional collaborative effort."
For more information regarding hosting the Board Member Training: Achieving Excellence in Regulatory Governance program, or the various program offerings sponsored by CLEAR, contact Molly Marsh at [email protected] or 859-269-1601.

CUMBERLAND — Autumn 1966. The new music from landmark albums "Pet Sounds," "Blonde on Blonde" and "Revolver" graced the airwaves, and "Star Trek" first boldly went where no sci-fi show had gone before.
Meanwhile, Cumberland and North Yarmouth launched their first full year together as School Administrative District 51 – a union which celebrates its 50th birthday next weekend.
Although the district's actual anniversary was in February, the festivities were delayed until next month for better weather and a more convenient time of year, Ashley Caswell, SAD 51's community development and resource manager, said in an interview Sept. 28.
"We're hoping for the community to come, but also alumni from the past 50-plus years … to celebrate how the district has developed and changed, or in some cases stayed the same," Caswell said.
Things kick off Friday, Oct. 14, with a Greely Rangers football game, at which the Class of 1966 – the first to graduate from Greely High School – will be recognized along with the school's senior football players. The Greely Madrigals will perform the national anthem in tandem with the middle school's Sounds of Silence combo.
Greely Middle School, 351 Tuttle Road, is the hub of most events Saturday, Oct. 15.
A pancake breakfast, running from 7-10 a.m., opens festivities that day. Sponsored by the respective fire departments in Cumberland and North Yarmouth, and with proceeds benefiting the Firefighters for Kids toy drive, tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for children.
A registration and alumni check-in table is open from 7:30 a.m. to noon, and class coffee chats – allowing alums to catch up with former classmates and chat about their time at Greely – take place from 9-10 a.m.
Superintendent Jeff Porter's welcome of attendees at 10 a.m. is followed by facilities tours, kids' activities, and a historical display from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Children's musician Rick Charette gives a performance at Greely Middle School at 11:30 a.m. A burrito lunch, sponsored by the Greely Girls Soccer Boosters with proceeds benefiting the team, runs from 12:30 to 2 p.m.
An open swim takes place at the Greely High pool from 12:30 to 2 p.m.
An oral history of Greely High, is being documented by the school's video production class and includes alumni interviews, some of which will be conducted on Saturday. A trailer showing work already accomplished will be shown that morning.
Birth of the SAD
SAD 51, like other school districts developed around the time, was born in the years following the Sinclair Act of 1957, according to information provided by three local "history buffs" – Carolyn Small of Cumberland, Dixie Hayes of North Yarmouth, and Donna Damon of Chebeague Island.
The act provided incentives to Maine's then-many small districts to consolidate into larger groups in order to achieve high school enrollments of at least 300. With their schools taxed for space, and major state funding promised, Cumberland, North Yarmouth and Pownal looked into forming one school unit, according to the historians.
Cumberland voters twice, in 1962 and 1963, defeated the proposed district, although by just a 500-494 tally the second year. A mix-up regarding votes on Chebeague, a part of Cumberland until 2007, produced a 497-497 tie.
With Pownal choosing to seek a partnership elsewhere, North Yarmouth and Cumberland residents formed a committee in 1964 to once again explore consolidation. Out of those talks came recommendations for a new elementary school (ultimately Mabel I. Wilson), a Greely Institute gym and cafeteria, and greater middle and high school classroom space, the fruition of which all depended on the two towns forming a district.
That was enough to turn the tide in Cumberland, which voted 283-107 on Jan. 15, 1966, to consolidate. North Yarmouth followed suit the next day by a vote of 84-4. With the legislature's approval of the district later that month, SAD 51 came into being Feb. 7, 1966.
With the birth of the district came another milestone that year, when Greely Institute changed its name to Greely High School, making the Class of 1966 the first "Greely High" alumni, Caswell said.

Foundation 51 Fall Fling
The "Fall Fling," an annual fundraiser hosted by Foundation 51 – an organization that supports School Administrative District 51 initiatives through grants – will take place Friday, Oct. 14.
This year's event will be in the barn and backyard of Peter and Christine Hein, 329 Greely Road in North Yarmouth. A silent auction, live music by Captain Bangaroo, and wood-fired food and drinks from Fire & Co. will be offered.
It's the year's largest fundraiser for Foundation 51, which has raised more than $500,000 to support resources the school budget would not otherwise cover, according to foundation51.org.
Some of the initiatives Foundation 51 has benefited include K-5 STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) resource kits, Prince Memorial Library's summer teen program, Etude Anthology and Parent University, and the Robotics Club.
Tickets are $50 and available at foundation51fallfling2016.bpt.me.
Foundation 51 was formed in 1998 to direct "private charitable resources toward the enrichment of educational opportunities for students in MSAD 51," according to the organization's website.
The group has since raised more than $480,000 for grants to district schools, in areas including multilingual literacy, nutrition, African drumming and the use of electronic books for struggling readers.

Gabe Foreman: Three Poems
He had a stiff little Heidegger
one summer morn. Sipping his Nestle,
he wanted to Schopenhauer
and Chef Boyardee you.
But you were perestroika,
a fistful of nickels,
and your boyfriend was Aunt Jemima,
plus Jehovah, fused into a crystal Nietzsche.
A platter of Kierkegaard silver,
a detached puritan who became a partisan,
overnight, under a bridge, with hobos, that's you.
You, who felt no need to Bertrand Russell me.
Sappho is mortal. Humans: portals.
You, who felt no desire to Aristotle Mozart
on the mezzanine. Felonious banjo,
mauve Ferrari, his Deleuze
her Guattari. Detachment
is indifference with a difference.
What thoughts I have of you tonight, transformers, as the power fails in a swelter, and the subway falters between stations. The charm of the failing transformers is that they deliver peace to neighbourhoods that might deserve a meal by candlelight. I remember a week of statewide black out in a similar heat wave. This was decades ago. On the second night, my wife and I invited an old timer we spotted on the street for supper. I placed a candle on the table. The man was bearded, sweaty and grubby. Over cold soup and raspberry wine, he spoke of desperate nautical voyages he had experienced, of near starvation at sea, often in superb detail. I felt his story contained alien circuitry, but my wife* absorbed the hardship of the man's cannibalistic past and wept openly. We never told him, but she and I had dabbled at people-eating in college. In those days, our dorm had been a slow-cooker of untenable grief. Those who grabbed hold of the burning filament and climbed inside our fading bulb had made no promises, just as we had made no plans. We had been different people. Over steak, our guest half-forgot a joke whose punch-line was: you are what you eat. My wife laughed. We were like one person then, the flickering meat, the dark hallway behind where my wife was sitting, and the parts of the joke that the old man had forgotten. When respectable Americans bid goodnight to old timers, they seldom make chivalrous vows in Latin, or promise never to forget, but my wife and I did both, first over fortified sherry and blueberry pie, and a second time, on the porch, before the old man finally staggered off into the night and was consumed. Before he had left, our guest asked if he could borrow a flashlight. He asked again, as if we had not heard his words. When he was finally gone, my wife and I knew that we had done the right thing. We sat on the porch swing, and counted all the flashlights in the house. There were six. One for each of the babies that we had planned to have once the power came back on. Look, a shooting star, I said. Amanda turned to me then, smiled, and became an old man for the rest of her life.
*My wife's unusual superpower was that she was continuously changing age and gender, on average every few months or so, totally randomly. It was beyond her control. It was confusing, and a terrific challenge to our marriage. More a curse than a gift, really.
Valerie notices a crawlspace through the side of the word 'swan'. Inside it, a file folder on the floor. Inside that: one of seven manila envelopes unfolds into a giant living-room which Valerie enters valiantly. At the window she elbows the glass, hard. Fragments sprinkle the lawn. She tells the hobos out there on the sidewalk, "Be strong". She tells them, "Be a swan" and to "pass it on". She swears a stray swan-goblin scientist sent her. Exiled from the Empire of Real Life Problems, is it possible to stand on top of things? "No", say the doubters on the sidewalk, dubious as fuck. Fricking horse shit, says the Earth, fuck you. Fuck you for not saying "yes".
Fuck you in upper valleys
when the rivulets drop
they atomize white.
If I was lost in penitent wastelands
without fuel
I would torch my own arm
rather than scorch a single swan
for sustenance.
Fuck you, gnawing the marrow
of your own burnt purpose in service
to the vampire of vague intentions. Lover,
weirdo, that morning you hung up,
conversation itself
froze prismatic and spun, suspended
pale threads of attention. Fuck you, Valerie, I said,
without meaning to, as I touched her writhing tentacle
which gripped, in turn, my tiny tire iron. She asked why,
why the aroma of apples wasn't apple-colored
for me, as it was for her?
Apparently, I told Valerie to remain in the acutely steamy air
that smelled of gentlemen.

Everyday news breaks left right and centre in the world of technology. It is pretty much impossible to capture all these stories and bring a detailed report. And not bring this news to our readers feels unfair.
Just as a disclaimer, we would not be divulging into details of the story and just give a brief outline of what the story was all about. So without any further adieu lets begin on what caught our attention on 31st of March, 2014.
Gionee Announced the World's Slimmest phone in India
Gionee, a leading Chinese brand making its mark in the Indian market announced the Elife S5.5 in India. The phone is the slimmest smartphone in the world and measures 5.56 mm as the name suggests. The device is a beautiful construct of metal and glass, very much like the iPhone 4/4s. The phone will retail for Rs 22,999 and is one of the best made devices we have seen in the recent past. The Elife S5.5 runs Android 4.2 on a Full HD 5 inch display powered by a 1.7 GHz Octa Core SoC. We got some hands on time with the device and have written down our impressions of the device here
HTC One (M8) has tricked the Benchmarks
We have heard more than once in the past few days that smartphone manufacturers have tried to trick around the scores of the Benchmarking apps as they seem to boost the performance when such apps are detected. Something similar has been detected on the HTC M8, however, HTC says that it has a High Performance mode built in, which throttles the performance when detecting such apps, giving indication of what the phone is truly capable of. Following a question from CNET, HTC took time to respond in detail, "Thanks for your email about the HTC One (M8). Benchmarking tests look to determine maximum performance of the CPU and GPU and, similar to the engine in a high-performance sports car, our engineers optimize in certain scenarios to produce the best possible performance. If someone would like to get around this benchmarking optimization there are ways to do so, but we think most often this will not be the case. For those with a need for speed, we've provided a simple way to unleash this power by introducing a new High Performance Mode in the developer settings that can be enabled and disabled manually. The HTC One (M8) is optimized to provide the best balance of performance and battery life, but we believe in offering customer choice, as there may be times when the desire for performance outweighs the need for battery longevity."
Amazon Offers EMI on Kindle devices in India
Amazon has announced some of its most famous devices including the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite, Amazon Kindle and the Kindle Fire would be available with an option to purchase on EMI. You can avail EMI options from three of the leading banks i.e. ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank and CitiBank. These EMIs are 12 month long and if this was not enough Kindle has introduced some interesting new prices as part of this introductory offer. For the next two weeks, you can pick the Amazon Kindle for Rs 5,600 while the next gen Kindle Paperwhites are available for Rs 10,080.
BBM for Windows Phone to arrive in Q2 of 2014
Nokia had announced at their MWC keynote that the Lumia devices would be getting the popular messaging service called BBM. BBM launched last October on Android and iOS and since then has reported 113 Million active users. However, the service was not announced on Windows Phone so the announcement at MWC was a welcome news. BlackBerry too confirmed that it was working on a WP version of their app. According to this report in Fone Arena John Chen, the CEO of BlackBerry has now confirmed the rollout of the app sometime in Q2 of 2014 which is anywhere between April and June.
Google makes advertising Android on Boot screen of Android powered phones mandatory
In an attempt to build the Android brand and drive home a point that Android is indeed the OS behind their powerful smartphones, Google has decided to make advertising a 'powered by Android' logo a compulsion on the boot screen of every new Android device. This was first observed on the likes of Samsung Galaxy S V and the HTC M8. According to Android Police, there are strict brand guidelines around how and where the logo should exactly be visible and how big should it really be. Given Google has been generally happy in allowing the OEMs take the center stage and be more of a background player, this is a drastic change in strategy and one that would be very interesting to follow.

Re: Is there a module to generate SQL queries?by andreychek (Parson)
|on Oct 25, 2001 at 03:26 UTC ( #121314=note: print w/replies, xml )
|Need Help??
I think DBIx::Recordset may do what you're looking for.
What it does is allow you to construction you SQL statements using a hash, with the hash keys mapping to field names, and the hash values mapping to the data in those fields. There is an article that appeared on perl.com that provides some examples of what all can be done with DBI::Recordset. Copying one of their examples, this seems to do what you are desiring:
It can't get too much easier then that :-) However, the article also gives other examples of some pretty nifty things you can do with that module.
Additionally, to be fair to all sides, chromatic published an article in response to the one I linked above describing how you can use DBI to do similar tasks, and how best to make use of DBI's featureset.
I've never used it before, but I did just notice DBIx::SearchBuilder was uploaded to CPAN. It claims to assist in generating SELECT statements. Good luck!

I really should just stop going to Amazon. Their software that guesses what you like is just too good. I go there to look for the track listing of the Crossing Jordan soundtrack. Immediately, I'm confronted with a notification that Stephen R. Lawhead's latest book, The Mystic Rose, has been published and is already in paperback. (Although a rather expensive edition. It had better be a trade paperback.) Whilst reading some of the user comments about it, I see that there are Lawhead books that I never knew existed, so I have to look up a list of his books. This produces two more additions to the wishlist.
Lastly, I was looking to see what music was played at on a "Buffy: The Vampire Slayer" episode and realized that I need some Alison Krauss and Tom McRae (never heard of him, but the song they used in Buffy was pretty good) music in my collection.
I'm doomed. At least the wishlist feature lets me add things and forget about them, since I have zero cash at the moment.
