It should come as no surprise that Android is also overrun with pirates. But just how bad is the problem? What effects does it have on the app atmosphere? And how does it impact the mindset of app developers? Unfortunately, the situation doesn't look so good.
Android App Piracy Is Rampant
Up until last month, the mobile piracy discussion was a relatively quiet hum punctuated by sporadic grumblings across the blogosphere. But when UsTwo tweeted a somewhat misleading statistic about their app's piracy rates, the discussion flared back to life.
Interesting fact: Only 5% of Monument Valley installs on Android are paid for. 40% on iOS. There's a sneak peak of data!
— ustwogames (@ustwogames) January 5, 2015
Does that mean Android suffers from a 95% piracy rate? Not exactly. UsTwo admitted that the figure wasn't entirely accurate since a single purchase can often translate into multiple installs (e.g. across several devices). Plus, the numbers aren't adjusted for the several "free download" campaigns that they've ran in the past.
But what we can't forget is that pirates on Android have been a serious issue for many years. According to Android Authority, only 10% of the apps that were downloaded in 2012 were actually purchased, indicating that the rate of piracy was indeed somewhere around 90% — even back then.
Regardless of the exact number, one thing is for certain: piracy on Android is huge.
Some may remember the case of Dead Trigger, a mobile game that debuted with a $0.99 price tag on both Android and iOS. After being hit by such an unbelievably high piracy rate, the developers had no choice but to make the Android version free.
How high is "unbelievably high"? They didn't provide any numbers, so we can't know for sure, but it was significant enough to force a change in their revenue model.
And in 2013, a report by SlashGear showed a 95% piracy rate for Android games while the iOS counterparts of those same games showed a 5% piracy rate. To be fair, this is data from a single developer and likely isn't representative of the entire industry, but it is a data point that shows how vast the disparity can be.
That being said, when so many sources claim that pirates make up around 90-95% of their userbase, you have to wonder if those numbers do indicate a wider trend.
Why Is Piracy So Prevalent on Android?
Because it's free, duh!
While that's definitely true, it doesn't explain why Android users are much more likely to pirate their apps than iOS users. Is there something inherent to Android that makes it easier to pirate? Or worse, is there an aspect that perhaps even encourages piracy?
According to most, the answer is a resounding yes!
Matt Gemmell made some fantastic points when he explored the Android piracy landscape. His points boil down to this: Android users aren't pirating due to frustration (e.g. inability to obtain what they want) or due to monetary considerations (e.g. apps are too expensive); they're doing it because Android is designed for piracy.
The open philosophy of Android means pirating is just too easy. When you give users that much freedom and control, it's inevitable that they'll find workarounds. Meanwhile, iOS is a closed ecosystem with stricter regulations, making it much more difficult — but not impossible — for users to sideload illegitimate apps.
We also have to consider the actual users. The kinds of people who buy into the iOS environment are fundamentally different from the kinds of people who buy Android devices. I'm not trying to start a flame war. This is statistical fact.
Generally speaking, Android users are more savvy with technology and likely to fiddle with their device beyond a surface level. Android users are also more conservative with their money. On the other hand, iOS users tend to be more affluent, more likely to be content with their devices "as is", and less likely to tinker with workarounds.
In other words, Android users want things for free and are clever enough to know how to get those things for free.
The Dangers of Pirating Android Apps
The unfortunate truth about Android piracy is that it's causing some detrimental effects on the overall app ecosystem. If it continues like this into the coming years, we may find the Google Play Store turning into just a shell of what it is today.
The effects of piracy are harmful to developers in more ways than lost money.
For example, Play Store rankings. There are several factors that determine an app's rank, including the "newness" of the app, the scoring and reviews, but also the number of times it's installed every day. That last one is really important.
To pirate an app, you need to download an illegitimate version of the APK, and that illegitimate version isn't downloaded from the Play Store — it's downloaded elsewhere. These downloads from third-party sources aren't counted as part of the Play Store stats.
This means that the app's rank — and thus its visibility — takes a hit. While it's typically argued that piracy actually increases visibility, that argument doesn't hold true in cases like this where visibility mostly comes from one or two main resources (e.g. the Play Store).
Is it any wonder why we've seen a huge shift towards freemium models with in-app purchases? By keeping the download and installation free, developers are able to corral their installation stats on the Play Store.
Pirating apps can be dangerous for the user as well. In one word: malware.
In 2012, a study by F-Secure showed that over 99% of Android malware instances came from a source outside of the Play Store. While Google isn't as strict as Apple as far as approval for which apps can show up on the store, they're still good about keeping malicious apps out of the picture.
When you start installing APKs from elsewhere, you lose that layer of security. That risk alone is why we recommend against cracked Android apps Cracked Android Apps and Games: Read This Before Downloading Cracked Android Apps and Games: Read This Before Downloading The statistics don't lie: Most Android malware comes from outside Google Play.

After all, most users only install apps through the Play Store, and Google keeps a tight watch over that to make sure malware doesn't squeeze through, right?... Read More .
And There's No End In Sight
Is there anything developers can do about this? Yes and no. While there are a few steps that can be taken to make the cracking process less convenient, a determined pirate will be able to break through any kind of app protection if given enough time.
In that sense, this whole issue is reminiscent of digital rights management (DRM) What Is DRM & Why Does It Exist If It's So Evil? [MakeUseOf Explains] What Is DRM & Why Does It Exist If It's So Evil? [MakeUseOf Explains] Digital Rights Management is the latest evolution of copy protection.

Read More and how ineffective it is when it comes to piracy prevention. The only way to reduce piracy on Android is to tackle the root problems: 1) how easy it is to pirate and 2) how willing the users are to pirate.
But since that would require a complete shift in the Android philosophy, I don't expect to see that happen anytime soon.

Few years ago when i was a teen with no money to buy games with, i can tell for a fact that it was just to easy to download apks on android. When i got an apple device and the access was more restricted i have stoped doing it and started buying whenever i could.
The only way to fix this huge issue is if android changed its policy and were more like apple with being more restrict, but that could allso mean androids downfall as in most people get it for the freedom it offers.
From my point of view a sad one to add, devs can do little to tackle this issue. there are only few people including me that changed their mind becouse the issue is a big problem for the whole economy of mobile gaming.
As a developer, i must say it: android represents a HUGE waste of time for paid apps and games.
In terms of security, to have a fully protected app, you need to rely on server side verifications to cut the rotten apple. But... Users will complain if they have to be connected to a network to start an app/game.
Basically: the android user wants everything free, and that lead us to "mmo's" that are server based and use in app purchases.
Of course, the quality of android games will greatly decimate progressively due to the fact that if you publish an app on the playstore, you will find it listed by GOOGLE ITSELF with a simple search.
Google, encourages piracy. Bad business...
Piracy is an ongoing issue on Android and does not only stop at Malware. These "pirates" (I guess you can call them) are modifying apps in a slew of ways like: removing ads, granting unlimited virtual currency, and even placing their own bundle IDs within your app. It's a large issue that most app developers will come across but are forced to ignore because of the lack of defenses around. There's a company called Tapcore that has an interesting approach here, they can detect these pirated installs and actually specifically target them with ads. Obviously it's not a fail proof end-all solution (because nothing is on android) but it's definitely something in the right direction.
i only pirate wallet sucking,greedy freemium,i support and buy good premium games with no IAP.actually i only love to pirate gameloft,those ripoff guys games are good for a dollar or two but not for 927 dollars iaps ! they are the ones who forced me to pirate android apps,and also there are honest and good developers like madfinger,1337,Senri.etc i never pirate their games.
Honestly, after reading a couple of articles like this, I did start buying apps whenever possible. Most of the time, I might download a cracked version if I am not sure how the app is or if it is simply too costly (meaning I will never buy it anyway). As an example, there is a writer app on Mac App Store costing Rs 2800. No way in hell am I ever buying that. A bit more and I can get Office 365 for a year.
But to all those people who don't own a Mac or an iPhone, let me tell you that apps on App Store are comparatively dirt cheap sometimes and almost as good (though not quite). Unless anyone wants to see iOS as the only mobile operating system developers want to make apps for, buy the occasional app.
But coming back to the question as to why I might download a pirated app, I would have to say that it is often due to the fact that the dollar conversion rate translates to a ridiculously priced app. And of course, developers release in US and parts of Europe first and don't really bother with the other countries, meaning piracy is the only way we can get to use those apps and slowly, it becomes a habit everywhere else.
I don't seem to find many apps these days that cost anything but as a novice programmer and person who likes to take something apart, I have tweaked things here and there. (if it were anything good I would brag but, total newbie. I load those on a phone that Is stuck with TMobile (who wont unlock) and the device I actually use, only has apps that I need. And They Be Free.
I think the history of the software companies and the poor customer service and ridiculous price over the years for software, leave people with a feeling they deserve it. I have had many pieces of software I bought become unusable, or need to be upgraded for extra, or I installed it too many times, or (fill in the blank)
If they are huge mega corp, I aint paying for their suite life.
Well, I usually buy my apps but games are a different thing. I think mobile gaming is just a joke mostly. Sometimes I would download a game or two but I can't imagine paying for a mobile game is unless it's really high quality and interesting, with much effort put into it. I've got a feeling that the author mostly means games here.
The idea that iPhone users are more affluent is misleading. It's like Louis Vuitton bags, every 20 something girl shells out the $1000-2500 on the purse. Does that make them all "affluent"? No!
Pirating apps for free is the #1 reason. Nobody will shell out money on numerous intangible goods (apps). Some apps don't offer trial periods and you must purchase the app before even knowing how it works. Second, app developers stop supporting apps. Like what happened with Nuance. They discontinued their Flex t9 keyboard, bought swype and repackaged the software and offered no info and no transfer and no discount to the thousands of ppl who paid for Flex t9. Third, bad reviews and back experience with the apps dissuades ppl from buying something they thing it's not worth the money.
The only reason I pirate apps is there's little to no "trial versions" available on the app store. First I pirate it to see how well it works in my phone. I don't wanna waste money on a game that constantly crashes or doesn't work well halfway. Google Play's 15 minute window is not enough to assess an app's "workability". I usually delete the pirated app on my phone after I see that it runs good and beautiful on my phone. Then I buy it.
That reason is not really justified, mainly because pirated apps are usually outdated and tend to contain more bugs and issues. Also, it's not 15 minutes for a return, it's 2 hours now. 2 hours is plenty of time to test an app, even works on games. If you are still not satisfied with an app and it's beyond 2 hours all you have to do is e-mail support and they will refund your money as well.
Whether this is piracy or not, I only do this with free apps. I'm usually the one in the house that has the most data, so I'll update my whatsapp, games whatever is free version. and bluetooth it to my family members. Is that piracy? Sharing free apps with old devices that Play Store rejects?
I don't know why so many people like a colander ? I think that about Android.
"Microsoft Technical Support Experts" - isn't that an oxymoron?
Of course, we pirate apps, we can, in a poor cuntry, where an iphone's price starts at 3-4x times of most salarys. From that money you will probably buy a low end smart phone (for the convinience), and that phone will surely be outdated fast. Or it whon't last much eider way. So why should these people pay for an app, if probably you whon't be able to use it much, because of a bad low-end phone or even a bad mid-end phone. Anroid is pretty much still unreliable beacuase you install 10 apps and the OS barely moves. Sure it's very unfair with the developers and I'm not saying that this is right, but I am not surprised by this. This is only one little shade of much bigger problems in this world, wich are responsible for these kind of worldwide problems.

Piracy On Android: How Bad Is It Really?
We don't know, but let's wildly speculate by taking information completely out of context.
In fact, let's even spell out that they're just comparing the number of purchases in the app store to the number of downloads. Which means that every time someone downloads a game a second time, it's 'pirated.' And every time someone pays for a game through some other means, like, say, Humble Bundle (who have been putting out enough android based bundles to give it its own tab), those downloads are being counted as 'pirated' as well.
Frankly, I'm disappointed. But with a clickbaity title like that, I should have known there wasn't actually any new and useful information in here.
I blame mainly the poor design of Google Play Store, specifically flawed applicationhardware compatibility, lack of proper description (no I don't need badly translated crap, I need info whether it needs constant Internet connection, whether it's MMO or single player, whether it downloads additional 1Gb of data and such) and lack of trust in application's security.
The way it works actually forces me to seek apks elsewhere, download them and run on some Android emulator.
I totally agree with you! The play store is a terrible application store with apps that are compatible not showing up in the list, and then showing you applications that are broken and crash upon launch. To me it would force users to download the apk and try it to see if app is fully compatible before buying, and then since the illegal apk is loaded (which is very easy to do by the way), why would a user buy something it has aquired for free?
I'd love to see how many illegal apps are installed on Windows Phone? The number of illegal installations must be close to 0%, although I'm sure the number of purchases must be very low compared with Apple devices installs..
I concur that this cannot be an accurate statistic. What I *can* believe is that users install and uninstall space-hogging games on devices with insufficient local storage.
I do have a virtual machine set up to test suspect .APK files. Often as not, they're ground zero for Internet Herpes, mostly in the form of extra ad networks and pop-ups rather than outright viruses, I do suspect idiot kids who are willing to play a modded, pirated version of Plants Vs. Zombies 2 probably just as willing re-set their devices with stunning regularity. There's basically nothing that can be done to stop them, since many won't have unrestricted access to a credit card and the value proposition of $10 worth of Crystals or Hearts or whatever IAP currency is highly skewed for a minimum wage worker vs. a bored desk jockey.
If piracy drives developers towards freemium how come the most popular games on iOS are freemium as well?
Looking at top grossing lists for iOS and Android on appannie it looks pretty much the same. Freemium apps with annoying iaps earns the most.
There is no way this is accurate. People who know how to side load is a miniscule percentage of all android users. And of those who know how to side load, a large percentage would have never bought the app anyhow, which means the app was doomed from the start.
Majority of Android is international, if it is in Asia for example they have a very censored government and they have no choice but to pirate in certain situations as well. If you lived in China, I'm sure you'd go through the effort of using VPN's and piracy to obtain things just because your government blocked google.
I can't speak for all users, but I have owned an iPhone in the past. It was the only smart phone I had used until a few months ago when I switched to an Android phone. The Note 4 just looked too good to pass up, even if it meant switching platforms!
The reason I owned an iPhone wasn't because I didn't like to tinker... the fact is that I do like to tinker, and am always tweaking something on my computers. I have a couple of boxes I use just for playing around with different operating systems. I owned an iPhone because it had a reputation for being a great phone, whih was my primary concern. Not to say I didn't jailbreak because I did, but if I couldn't have that would have been okay too.
Currently, there isn't much tinkering I can do with my Note because AT&T is my carrier, but as soon as I can I'm loading a custom ROM. That's mostly so I can control app permissions, though. Some apps have a legit need to access my camera or recorder, some don't. I want to be able to deny those that don't.
@Joel: Sideloading isn't only for pirated apps. There are plenty of other app stores (SlideMe.org, Amazon Appstore, GetJar, F-Droid, AppsLib, MoboGenie, and more); Amazon has a free app every day, and occasionally (usually around holidays), a dozen or more.
I'm thinking that a lot of Apple devices, once jailbroken, don't even show up because they only download apps from Cydia or sideloading; those wouldn't let *anybody* know what "pirated" apps are on them.
Why does it matter who your provider is? you can root anything you want on android.
@Joel: I jailbroke so I could theme my phone, but I did install a few pirated apps that I wasn't sure I would like, but if I did like them I bought them in the App Store. Plus, Cydia offered apps that weren't available in the App Store, which added functionality to the iPhone. One of them is IntelliscreenX, which was well worth the $10 cost.
I doubt I'll pirate once I can sideload on the Note, but I will check out some of the legit alternative app stores.
@Joe: Actually, there is no root for the AT&T model yet. There's actually a bounty being offered to the first person who is able to root it... Google "AT&T Note 4 root bounty" for more info.

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - June 28, 2012) - According to a survey from BMO Financial Group, the Calgary Stampede is considered to be one of the most important events in Canada.
The survey, conducted by Leger Marketing, shows the Calgary Stampede (10 per cent), the Grey Cup (13 per cent), the Canadian National Exhibition (12 per cent), and the Toronto International Film Festival (11 per cent) are considered to be the most important annual events in Canada to attend.
Albertans are the most likely to say the Stampede (27 per cent) is the most important Canadian event to attend. However, the positive sentiment around the event does not stop in Alberta, with nearly half of Canadians (44 per cent) saying that if money were not a factor, they would likely attend the Stampede in the next five years.
"Our study tells us that Canadians see the Stampede as a great Canadian tradition, one that BMO is proud to have had a relationship with for a century," said Sandy Bourne, Vice-President, Sponsorships, BMO Financial Group. "The bank's ties to the Calgary Stampede are long and remarkable. We've been the banker to the Calgary Exhibition since 1899 when lands were christened at Victoria Park. And BMO continued as the official banker in 1912 when the first rodeo took place and became the Calgary Exhibition and Stampede. The Stampede is an important event for us to connect with our customers and visitors from around the world."
The survey also shows that if money were not a factor:

AMHERST – University of Massachusetts athletic director John McCutcheon was all smiles Sunday night.
Making his way around the private room set aside to house the UMass basketball team's NCAA tournament selection show party at the Amherst Brewing Company, McCutcheon was greeted by handshake after handshake, congratulation after congratulation.
Dozens of fans, donors, team and community members came up to say hello and wish UMass well as McCutcheon beamed with pride.
For the first time since being hired as athletic director in early 2004, he was about to watch his men's basketball team – UMass' most visible and successful major sports program – be announced as an at-large qualifier for the NCAA tournament.
Six years after bringing back local favorite and former star point guard Derek Kellogg to lead the Minutemen back into national success and relevance, it was mission accomplished at last.
"We had hoped it wouldn't take this long, in all honesty," McCutcheon half-joked before the selection show began. "We thought we were on a path to get there earlier than this, but that's just the way things work out sometimes.
"It's a great day. A lot of folks have worked so hard to get us to this point," he continued. "Obviously, Derek is the key guy in the whole process. He's done a fantastic job and his staff."
It had taken some time for Kellogg's work – and McCutcheon's investment in him – to pay off. After a few, middling early seasons cleaned out the remnants of the Travis Ford era, close calls in 2011 and 2012 resulted in back-to-back trips to the National Invitation Tournament.
Led by senior point guard Chaz Williams and a core group of veterans, the Minutemen broke though Sunday amidst loud cheers.
"For everyone that hung in there through some challenging times to get us there, it's really quite rewarding," McCutcheon said.
During those early, leaner years, there was, at times, a sentiment for some that Kellogg wasn't the man for the job. It was often overblown, but it persisted nonetheless as UMass didn't immediately rise to a national power as it once had under Kellogg's former coach John Calipari.
For McCutcheon, who can now glean some measure of vindication after watching his signature hire dance around with his tournament-bound players after being introduced on national television as the Midwest region's sixth seed, persistence paid off.
He doesn't fault the more vocal members of the fan base for not always seeing the bigger picture.
"With fans, that's their job," McCutcheon said. "Fans are passionate. Fans live in the moment, particularly in today's age of instant communication and instant gratification in, not only athletics, but in everything. That's what they're going to do. But our job is to look at the bigger picture and the longer term to try to get to the the place that we want to strategically."
After six straight tournament seasons under Calipari and his successor Bruiser Flint in the 1990s, McCutcheon thinks UMass and its supporters may have been lulled into a false sense of security when it came to athletic success. It turned out finishing a season as one of the top 64 or 68 teams was harder than those golden era teams made it look.
"I think particularly here, because of our experience during the Calipari years, maybe there was at some point some thinking that this was maybe a little it easier than it was. That was a magical time, and there aren't many situations like that in the history of the NCAA," he said. "And I think that says a lot about how difficult this is, how hard it is to get into position to get a berth in the tournament as an at-large selection. It takes a lot of people working hard. It takes some good luck sometimes. It takes a coach who has great skill recognition when he's recruiting.
"To come back and get ourselves in position like we are today is just a fantastic thing."
That UMass has returned to the NCAA tournament after such a lengthy absence fits in step with McCutcheon's ongoing quest to raise the national profile of the university and its athletics program.
In 2014, the football team will embark on its third season as a member of the Football Bowl Subdivision. With both Mark Whipple and Kellogg now in the fold, McCutcheon has a pair of "UMass guys" at the helm of the university's flagship programs. New state of the art football and basketball practice facilities should only make UMass athletics more attractive to recruits and donors.
McCutcheon believes the Minutemen's March revival speaks to where athletics are and will continue to be in the future in relation to the university as a whole.
"We're the flagship campus of the University of Massachusetts," he said. "It's the same commitment we make with our academic research on campus and our educational programs with where we position athletics. It's not a decision that I've made; it's a decision that the university made.
"That's where we think we fit in the national landscape," he continued. "To see where we are with basketball, to see what we're doing with football, to see the capital projects and to support those efforts and really give them a foundation to be successful in those efforts comes back to a commitment to from the university, chancellor (Kumble) Subbaswamy, the trustees and system president (Robert) Caret.
"It's really where we think the university should be, and we're excited about the future."

Hey guys,
I'm just curious as to how you feel about a one day on one day off workout. I know personally when I work out other parts of my body taking a days break in between warrants better results. Is this the same for PE?

I think it'd be a good starting point. From there maybe try 2 on 1 off, 3 on 1 off until you start to notice negative PI's. PE isn't like weightlifting and everyone is different so just do trial and error.

There's lots of guys over at thunders that advocate 1 on 1 off/3 days a week and have seen really nice gains. Just gotta be patient though. I was gonna do jp90 but I think it's to much for me.

I do 1 day off 1 day on and every 3 weeks I take a whole week off.
Has worked well for me,especially now that I'm trying things like Supra Slammers and Ulis. Those things tire me right out!

1 on/1 off works well for a while. It's best to start with that and work your way up. I even started 1 on/2 off.Physiological Indicators (the original post)

Heroes of Midhgardhur
"Gaunorria" is the name for the vast region that was once part of the Norrani Imperium. The Imperium began to lose its hold on the "Gaunorria" provinces around 400 N.Y., falling to invasions of barbarians (the so-called "Gauthioth," believed to be related to the Gautar), peasant uprisings, and onslaughts by monstrous beings.
The region of "Gaunorria" is not a unified culture or land, but made up of petty, feuding kingdoms. Most of the tribes of Gaunorria follow the religion of the Hierarchy, having converted before the fall of the Norrani Imperium, but do not acknowledge the Hierarch as overlord. Many of the warlords of Gaunorria still follow their ancient gods, converted into "saints" by the Hierarchy. Infidels to the Hierarchy are known as paynyms, considered accursed and damned, and their lives forfeit if they do not convert to the Hierarchy.
Within the last 200 years, Gaunorria has developed heavy cavalry, with heavy mounted knights (cavaliers) in service to petty warlords. The Gaunorrians believe the might of their cavaliers to be greater than any other fighting force, including the vikings of the North, if only they could deploy them properly against the raiders (this rarely happens, though, since the raiders tend to attack places away from the strongholds of the cavaliers, and can flee by boat before a defense can be mounted).
Gaunorria suffers the brunt of viking raids from the North, and as a result, Northerners tend to be hated and feared, both as raiders and as "pagans," in Gaunorria. This has especially been true since the great "capital" city of Gaunorria, Sequanaborg, has been sacked twice by Vikings – once in 845 N.Y. and again in 886 N.Y.
Since 711 N.Y., Gaunorria lost control of the Nonorran Peninsula, which was conquered by Urrabites. The Urrabites have established the "Caliphate of Nonorra" on the peninsula, and have resisted all attempts to oust them. The Urrabites tried to extend their reach into upper Gaunorria, but were defeated in an epic battle in the mountains between the two regions in the year 778 N.Y., and have not tried again.

Saving nature's assets under water has become as important as saving them on land. That's why the Nature Conservancy, a mostly above-ground land trust, has acquired 11,500 acres under Great South Bay, Long Island a donation from the Bluepoints Oyster Company valued at $2 million.
In obtaining the New York waterway, the Conservancy wades into the relatively new ecoterritory of marine conservation. It plans to map the area using sonar and to design a recovery for tidal flats and marshes now polluted by coastal runoff and threatened by overdevelopment.
As breeding grounds for both aquatic and land species, the coastal waters of the US need increasing protection. The Conservancy plans to pass along lessons learned from recovering Great South Bay to similar projects in the future.
And the Conservancy hopes to re-open the once-prosperous oyster beds for commercial use, a wise decision that reflects new environmental thinking that not every "natural" site should be devoid of human activity.
Partnering local interests with national conservation is a useful strategy for other groups interested in helping to restore the balance between ecological soundness and commercial viability.

ZUK Z1 Specs & Price Leaked Just A Few Hours Before Launch!
by Aug 10, 2015 10:29 pm3
We are just a few hours away from the official unveiling of the awaited ZUK Z1 smartphone, but it looks like someone couldn't wait for that long. Additional pictures, specs and pricing of the ZUK Z1 flagship have been revealed, showing that the phone will be a pretty interesting package.
The ZUK Z1 flagship is said to come with a 5.5-inch full HD 1080p display with last year's Snapdragon 801 processor. There will be 3GB of RAM on board along with 64GB of internal storage. At the back, the phone will have a 13MP camera while up front, there will be an 8MP shooter.
The company had already confirmed that the ZUK Z1 will feature the new U-Touch home button that integrates fingerprint recognition. However, apart from that, the touch button will also support multiple functions, making it a bit unique. As for network connectivity, the phone will come with dual SIM dual standby with 4G LTE support. Another highlight will be its USB Type-C 3.0 port with theoretical transfer speeds up to 5Gbps. The battery will be larger than 4000mAh (4100mAh?) and the phone will run on Android 5.1.1 with the company's own ZUI on top.
The pricing also has been leaked. The ZUK Z1 was spotted on JD.com for a price tag of 1799 for the 64GB version. Its actually pretty decent price ( comes out to $285) for the specs and the features that you get. Of course, we would have liked if the phone was a bit cheaper than this, but we will have to wait for official confirmation later today.
What do you think, is 1799 Yuan a decent price for ZUK Z1? Or do you expect a cheaper price than this?

Personal-injury law firm actually makes a decent TV commercialPosted on Mon Jan 11 2010
When I think of ads for law firms that handle personal-injury cases, an image of a person in a cast or a wheelchair comes to mind, followed by an attorney's 10-second pitch. After a while, these ads all blend together, and it's hard to recall the name of any specific firm. So, no wonder New York-based law firm Trolman, Glaser & Lichtman wanted to take a different approach by launching a series of spots that put a humorous twist on personal-injury cases. The campaign, via ad agency Levinson Tractenberg Group, explores the emotional effect accidents can have on people. This spot, for example, opens with a woman sharing her "accident" story while a dramatic piano tune plays in the background. "It's like I had this huge, really sharp machete chopping down on me every time I tried to move," she says. You start feeling sorry for her—until she reveals the pain was caused by a paper cut. The voiceover points viewers to Trolman, Glaser & Lichtman and says: "If you've been injured, call us. ... But keep in mind, you need to really be injured." I'm still chuckling at the scene where the woman points her bandaged finger at the camera.

The x-ray object photography of Brendan Fitzpatrick offers a different perspective of common creatures, flowers and mundane items. Whether the Australian photographer has decided to capture a toy robot to a blooming tulip, the transparent images offer a different take that many people will gravitate towards.
Titled Invisible Light, the x-ray object photography was achieved by using chest x-ray and mammogram machines. According to Psfk, "Fitzpatrick seeks to explore the potential that radiography has in the art world, showcasing x-ray images of three kinds of subjects." Unlike standard x-rays, these images are much more vibrant than one would expect. That is because he has manipulated the images to add more color while highlighting their inner inner features.

From Melody K:
What is a common thing that most teens dislike about their parents?
Me: I think that my parents specifically are pretty great (and also they read this :D), but as far as something that most teens probably dislike about their parents... well I'm just going to take an educated guess. When you're a teen, you're older and therefore have more responsibility, etc. You can now go out and do things you couldn't before when you were younger and your mom walked you to school. I think a lot of teens really value that independence and maybe want more independence than they can get at the moment (even if maybe it's not what they need). Parents get in the way of that independence.
E: (Can I answer this… who knows, my Mom might read it. Just kidding.) The main thing that I would think teens find annoying about their parents are their parents telling them what to do. I mean, who likes that? I know that my Mom will annoy me when she keeps telling me thing after thing to do, and I would guess that others feel the same way.
Bro: I don't know. (Although he was disappointed that my dad didn't want to juggle a soccer ball with him...)
From Jenny:
What 1 movie or TV show do you feel represents or resembles your high school well?
Me: Honestly? Absolutely none. I don't know if American high schools are a lot different than Canadian high schools or something but.... yeah. In all movies and TV shows I've watched, the high schools in them don't really come close to resembling my high school. (At least, overall. There's always a few things that are similar. Like, my school has students too. :D)
E: First off, I don't know what high schools are like in the United States, but I doubt that they are like the ones in movies. There is only one movie that I felt portrayed high school well. There were still some things that were off, but for the most part it was good. This movie was To Save a Life. Basically it is about a young guy who's previous best friend kills himself at school. That is the main thing that isn't the same. We have never actually had someone do that at my school. However, all the tough things that happen, and the drugs and smoking that go on during the school day are similar. I do not smoke or do drugs, but there are people at my school who do. I hate that fact, but it is true. So that is pretty much the only movie that I feel properly represents a typical high school situation.
Bro: None.
Who are your heroes?
|Mattie Stepanek!
E: My heros…. Hum. In writing, my main hero is Robin Jones Gunn, because she changed my life forever. In real life, however, a few of my heroes are Martin Luther King Jr. because he was amazing. Another hero of mine is Bethany Hamilton. I recently did a lot of research on her because her movie, Soul Surfer, caught my attention. The fact that she went through what she did and not once did she get depressed (Anna Sopia Robb acted sadder in the movie, but in real life, Bethany was always positive) it just lifted my sprits 200%. Heroes to me are not people like Superman who save the day. A true hero is someone who quietly does what needs to be done, not needing to always be über noticed.
Bro: I don't know.
When you read a story, what character trait do you usually identify with most?
Me: I don't usually identify with certain traits to tell you the truth. I'm not very talkative and kind of shy (yes I come off quite differently online) but I don't really identify with the kind of shyer, I guess what you would call "geekier" characters. I'm not sure why, maybe it's because a lot of the time those characters feel really, really sorry for themselves or all they want to do is be popular. I'm not really like that. But I also identify with certain things that are the same about characters -not really traits, specifically, but things like a character being Canadian, or having a sibling with a disability (because I'm Canadian, and my sister has Down Syndrome). Sometimes I will pick up a book solely on the basis that it's Canadian or there is a character in the book with a disability. Not so much if there's a shy character though, because I think they're kind of boring and very overdone.
E: Character trait… that is interesting. I would have to say that the character trait(s) I most identify with is honesty and purity. I am not saying that I am always honest. (I try but don't always (or sometimes, often) succeed) I enjoy characters who are honest and pure because it makes me feel all mushy inside and just makes me feel happy. Like once I hit Robin Jones Gunn's the College Years, Christy was not as annoying (hate to say it, but sometimes she got on my nerves with her naivete :D) and her way of dealing with everything with honesty and integrity really warms my heart. It makes me sad that there aren't more books like that.
Bro: I don't know. (Me (suggesting character traits): Being shy? Bro: I don't know. Me: Being not talkative? Bro: I don't know. Me: Saying I don't know to everything? Bro: I don't know.)
The last few will hopefully be up tomorrow, and then I have a special post prepared for Monday! Have a good rest of the weekend, everyone.

I don't know which console this game belongs to and I don't know the year. All I know is that they were a blue boy and a pink girl (their clothes, not them), who pushed balls into holes. That's all I can remember
It was probably from the late 80s to early 90s, not before and not after! I'm so desperate to find it that I went to Wikipedia and searched the games for all the consoles (names, no pics) but no luck, nothing rang a bell! :(
If anyone can help, I would be so grateful and appreciative!! And whoever answers me, will be my idol!
Again, thank you both so much!! :D
you are welcome @d1e0e47cd8fa4bdd38235d63bfe8807d:disqus ! great find @YaaraL:disqus ! They are twin sisters and I kept searching for a boy n a girl :)
I love YOU!!!!!!! :'D You are now officially my hero!!! You really are the best!! Thank you so much!!!!!! :') I'm so happy right now, I could die :') Thank you so much!!! :D YAY!!! And I guess they were two girls :P
Seriously, how can I thank you?? Anything!! Name it!And thanks Jay as well! :D
You're welcome M.C. :)
I know what it's like to remember something vaguely from ages ago and wanting to find out what it is, happens to me a lot. :)
Hi M.C., could it possibly be this one?
Looks like it about fits your description... :)
No, that's not it! These are balls themselves, the one I mean is people pushing balls and their clothes are blue and pink. and it was two players
http://strategywiki.org/wiki/Adventures_of_Lolo_3 ..they are blue and pink ..different players...was it the arcade or 2 players ?
That is all I remember! :$ but if I'm not mistaken, it was sort of like a maze(?) and the objective was to push the balls in the holes. I can almost say with certainty that it's not from NES not SNES because I went looking for their games on youtube and some really nice guys put up all the games of those two consoles and it wasn't in any of them. And the graphics were good at that time. At first, I thought I made up the whole game but when I asked my brother he confirmed it :P so it's real :D
Sorry for the lack of information
any logo, when the game starts...any details? like what was the game story, what do you have to do in the game, anything that you can add ?

We've been busy around the place this past week. Bob, my son, has been trimming trees and it is taking a while to get everything cleaned up. My squirrels are somewhat confused as their tree limbs are gone and they are learning a new route to their feeder.
Bob and Linda took me to Life Church on Sunday to see my great-grandson, Buster Davis, play in the band. They are a great band with a lot of talent and great singers. Also a large group of young kids did songs.
At noon we attended a family get-together at the home of Preston and Lisa Breshears. Then later in the evening, I rested and Bob and Linda attended a fish fry at the home of Doug, Shelia and Kolton. It was a celebration for graduating seniors, Kolton, grandson of Linda, and some of his friends.
Linda has enjoyed phone calls from great-grandchildren from Oklahoma and Texas.
Until next week, God bless and hello to all my friends and family away from her and prayers for all the families that were in the tornado at Oklahoma.

HOUSTON—The number of rigs actively exploring for oil and natural gas in the U.S. increased by 14 this week to 1,585.
Houston-based Baker Hughes Inc. said Friday that 982 rigs were exploring for natural gas and 591 for oil. Twelve were listed as miscellaneous. A year ago this week, the rig count stood at 943.
Of the major oil- and gas-producing states, Louisiana gained eight rigs, North Dakota gained four, West Virginia gained three and New Mexico, California, Colorado and Texas each gained one. Pennsylvania lost two rigs. Alaska, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Wyoming remained unchanged.
The rig count tally peaked at 4,530 in 1981, during the height of the oil boom. The industry posted a record low of 488 in 1999

TTTech's contribution to this system is a scalable ECU platform that combines a flexible architecture and safety kit that can be adapted to the needs of customers like Audi – but since it is available to automotive OEMS and suppliers, also other carmakers can be expected to put the platform into the center of their car's electronic guts. TTTech has already developed a similar platform based on Renesas microprocessors, and eeNews Europe learned that Asian carmakers are taking closer looks to the system.
The various multicore processors in the zFAS (Mobileye and Nvidia for image processing, Altera / Intel for sensor fusion, number crunching and miscellaneous tasks, plus Infineon's Aurix for steering and braking) are tied together through a safe deterministic Ethernet connection. TTTech's software provides a complete runtime and development environment and complies to the highest safety level (ISO 26262 ASIL D). TTTech holds the responsibilities for ECU safety from prototyping, production of A and B samples and series production and ECU flashing, explains TTTech member of the executive board Stefan Poledna. "Our environment supports Autosar as well as alternative operating systems such as Wind River or Linux derivates", Poledna said. Likewise, it is closely entangled with development tools like those from Vector Informatik and other third parties, Poledna assured.

What kind of taxes must be paid on a company 401K that I want to rollover into a new ROTH IRA ????? thanx in advance......SteveSteve,The conversion from a Traditional IRA to a Roth IRA is taxed at your marginal tax rate. The amount of the conversion may throw you into a higher tax bracket. You should look at whether you need to pay estimated taxes to avoid underpayment penalties.You cannot "technically" roll directly from a 401k to a Roth. Since it is a taxable event, your 401k provider is required to withhold 20%. Depending on your tax bracket, this may or may not cover your tax bill. Also, if you don't cover the 20% shortage within 60 days, that portion is considered a withdrawal. If you don't meet any of the exceptions (if you're under 59 1/2 you probably don't) there is a 10% penalty on any withdrawal not rolled over into a traditional IRA or converted to the Roth.

Agenda 2063 First Ten Year Implementation Plan 2014 2023
Share this
Over the past 50 years (1963-2013) Africa focused her collective on the decolonization, the struggle against apartheid and attainment of political independence for the continent. On the occasion of the golden jubilee (May 2013) of the Organization of African Unity (OAU)/African Union (AU) which spearheaded the decolonization process, the continent re-dedicated herself to the attainment of the Pan African Vision of An integrated, prosperous and peaceful Africa, driven by its own citizens, representing a dynamic force in the international arena. To achieve this vision, the Golden Jubilee Summit of the Union came up with a solemn declaration in eight areas spanning: social and economic development; integration, democratic governance and peace and security amongst others as the planks of the vision.


text: As for the movie, box office receipts and reviews have been rather disappointing. Hunter says the experience changed him; he's developed a greater appreciation for film and he's now a bit more disciplined. He also got to explore and showcase a side of himself we're not so familiar with - comedy, although when asked what he believes are his strengths, he quickly responds, "Storytelling and humor." Indeed, those skills have started to emerge in commercials like Nike's "Frisbee." The European spot, starring the Stickman character, has all the adrenalized sportsmaneuvers you'd expect, but flavored with the goofy antics of the show-stealing animated figure, whom Hunter actually directed, via an actor in a greensuit. Funny business or not, Hunter is dead serious about getting what he wants on film, whether it be features, spots or clips. "You have to be firm to get your vision through, because if you come in wavering, it just becomes a mediocre mess." He gives props to his crew for keeping the control freak in check. "I'm creatively demanding about the appropriate things, and sometimes I don't have a perspective on how other people are reacting to what I'm asking for. But now I tell my producer, 'Tell me if I'm asking for too much. Tell me and stop me, or I'll just keep going.' "

Issa wants answers on White House's Google ties• Sara Jerome via Prison Planet.com
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, wrote to Google on Friday to reiterate his concerns that White House Deputy Chief Technology Officer Andrew McLaughlin had inappropriate contact with the company, where he was formerly an employee.
"In April it was revealed that … McLaughlin used his personal email account to engage in official business, including discussions on policy matters under his review with [Google]," Issa wrote.
The White House reprimanded McLaughlin in May for what it deemed were "incidental" violations of the administration's ethics code. The White House said McLaughlin's e-mails with Google officials had no effect on policy decisions.
Issa noted that messages sent on private e-mail accounts or through Facebook and Twitter are not captured and archived by the White House under the Presidential Records Act. He said he is concerned about reports that White House staffers may be contacting lobbyists through private

I've only had my smartphone for 355 days. Not only did I break it the day after I got it, but the learning curve was off the charts. BUT finally I figured out how to post onto my blog from my phone.
Please stop laughing. I'm not a complete loser, I've been on instagram for a couple months. (Check me out, 9 patchnurse)
So this is my inaugural 'smart post'. Get it? The true test of course will be getting a picture on the post.
Here goes, and stay tuned for more posts !

It's my home and I'll paint it if I want to.
Blame Pinterest.
Browsing Pinterest has gotten me itching to slap some paint around lately.
For YEARS, I have said, "I would rather give birth than paint." And I know what I'm talking about because I had both of my children without one speck of pain medicine. I do, however, love a nice coat of paint on just about anything. When the job is big enough, I am happy to pay someone to do it. Once I even paid my son $20 to paint the front door a bright yellow. Sometimes, though, I just have to do it myself.
Preparation is key, right? That means collecting paint chips and spending days and weeks fondling them and dreaming of dripping brushes.
I had a specific project in mind but, before I got started, I decided to have a little warm up. I rummaged around in the basement and found a can of 'espresso colored' semi-gloss then painted this antique wooden ironing board. It fits perfectly behind the sofa.
Lousy pictures but I'm sure you get the idea.
After the warm up, I started prepping for the real project. My son's cat, Mrs. Puff, was very interested.
So far, so good.
Ta dah!
I thought about stenciling or maybe wallpapering the stair risers, but in the end I figured paint was a good place to start.
This is the view from the from door. I really love it. Now don't freak out over paint on nice hardwood. I'm just fine with it!
While we're talking about DIY, do you remember this little injury before the holidays? The wicked hot glue gun mishap?
Here is the instigator, a fantastic family heirloom. A gorgeous rosewood chair that's solid as a rock. When I was a newlywed, my mother gave it to me and I found someone to replace the caning. It held up for years before a big hole mysteriously showed up in the seat. Our annual family holiday party always gets me thinking about where 40 or so people are going to park their butts in my house. So I came up with a genius fix for this chair. Temporary of course until I get someone else to cane it.
I got my brother to cut some sturdy plywood to fit and I covered it in a nice velvet.
It seemed like it would be easier to use the glue gun then to dig around looking for my staple gun. Except for the problem with the hot hot HOT glue dripping on my finger, I think it worked out well. As long as no one looks under the chair.
And check this out. The family name is Howard and someone years ago put name tags on the furniture. I also have a table with one of these tags.
And in case you think my house is full of hoity toity family antiques, here is a side table I brought in from the yard 15 years ago. It's from a tree we had cut down.
I went on retreat with my quilting buddies last weekend. That means I have lots of 'almost finished' projects. My sewing machine is still packed up but I hope to get it plugged in and running this weekend.
Have a nice weekend now, y'hear?

It's My Birthday!!
Are these ponies cute or what!
I grew up on a Shetland pony farm and they are the nicest, most perfect ponies for children. I don't know why we didn't make them sweaters.
I will have some pictures of quilty goodies later. AND a peek at a Pinterest inspired project I did this week. I have always said I would rather give birth than paint but I actually did some painting around here.
One of my birthday pressies from my mom is the 9 inch hexagon Accuquilt die. Wheeeeee! I have an idea that I can't wait to start on.
Stay tuned. I promise I will be back later. Right now I have to wash some paint brushes and go to a quilt shop with my friend. (because it's my birthday!)

Howdy Neighbors!
Hello and welcome. Marlene over at Stitchin By The Lake has been posting a weekly series introducing other blogs so we can get to know our bloggy neighbors. If you have come to visit via Marlene, then thank you and make sure to enjoy your visit.
How about I just share a little bit about myself?
I have been a pediatric nurse for years. I have worked in the Pediatric ICU, Labor and Delivery, Pediatric Oncology, and currently in the Pediatric Operating room at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore. I love taking care of kids and their families. However, when I'm not at work, I want to spend all of my time in my sewing room making quilts. I am constantly rearranging my sewing space and trying to find the magic formula for staying tidy and organized. Somebody needs to smack me on the head and clue me in that it just ain't gonna happen.
Here is a picture of my sewing room midway through it's most recent renovation. Yup! The floor is spotted. So now you know I am a little wacky. Since this picture, I have put wooden blinds on the windows and I have big sliding doors on the closet to the left. They are covered with cork and batting so I can use them as my design wall. I moved the light fixture too. I love this space and spend a lot of time here.
I live on a family farm and all of my neighbors are family. A couple of weeks ago, I looked out front and there was a HUGE flock of birds out front. What a ruckus.
Out back we have trees. The last few years have been hard on the trees. Twice we have had little tornados come through and take out a few trees (with our power lines). This past fall, Hurricane Sandy blew this one over. I just happened to be standing at the kitchen door and saw it go over. So lucky it fell the way it did.
Oh yeah, it was a big one!
Like most quilters, I have UFOs. This year I have committed to trying to get a few done in addition to just having fun trying new things. A few years ago I started this quilt along and got 36 of these round blocks done. All hand appliqued, eesh! Last week I sewed four of them together, again by hand. I am SO SO tempted to just finish it up by machine. Until I decide, I'm just going to leave these on the design wall to taunt me.
Here is another UFO whose days are numbered. I usually refer to it as 'The Orb quilt' and I found the pattern here. I didn't intend for it to be so dark so I stalled. Very soon I will commit to some kind of border and git er done.
Another plan for this year is to keep playing with my scraps and use them up. Lol, ha ha ha ha, guffaw guffaw! Use them up! Good grief, let's just settle with using them. I put this top together a couple weeks ago using this tutorial. So much fun and shockingly easy.
I picked out these fabrics for borders and can't wait to get it finished.
I am also having a love affair with half square triangles. I finally got this wallhanging funished and hung. Two inch finished HSTs. The wall is pale yellow and now I think it needs to be painted.
I am weak when it come to fabric. I have such a hard time resisting. In the past month, I have gone on two delightful daytrips with some pals to the Lancaster, PA area where there are awesome quilt shops. Great prices just add to the fun. Wanna see what I got?
I seriously consider this yellow dot to be a neutral. I think it goes with anything.
I love the Tammis Keefe tribute fabrics by Michael Miller. I had to have this.
Text fabric. Gotta have some at all times.
Couldn't resist. Just couldn't. I mean, seriously........... lime green, crosswords, and the school tablet stripes. Delicious!
Enuff said.
Oh my!
I want to pet this.
And this.
And while I'm at it, let's just throw in a few fat quarters.
So now you know a little bit about me. What I like to make and what kind of fabrics I like. And here's a few more fast facts....just because.
-we have 4 cats (and one doesn't have a tail)
- I can't whistle
- I am a Ravens fan, whoop whoop!
-I read every single night before I go to sleep.
- I can wiggle my ears, and so can BOTH of my kids.
Thanks for coming by to visit. Toodles!

What I did this week.
Yup, I put this whole thing together. Last Saturday at my sewing marathon, I put together one block because I wanted to try out Bonnie Hunter's cool technique. It was Eeeeeeeeee Zeeeeeeeeee! When I got home, I couldn't resist dumping out my basket of 2 1/2 inch strips and putting together strip sets for more blocks. Flickr is so handy for getting ideas. I went to the Scrappy Trip Along group to see how the blocks went together. I really liked the look of the quilts when the center diagonal of the block had a stand out color. I had lots of reds. Yesterday I got 24 blocks all sewn together into this top. I can't believe how quick it went. Sadly, it did not put enough of a dent in my basket of strips. I think I will need to make another one or two. A great way to stash some gift quilts in the closet don't you think? I think I have the Wild Threads talked into making one for the church that lets us have our marathons there.
Have a lovely week and stay warm in you live in my neck of the woods!

Sewing Marathons are 'Da Bomb'
We all know this. Sewing with friends is better than therapy. The Wild Threads get together every couple of months for a day of play. Right before one of our marathon sewing days, emails usually start circulating asking, "what are you bringing, what are you gonna work on?". Lately I like to take a project that needs to be finished. Last time I finished quilting a quilt that I had been working on for years. This weekend I got TWO projects finished.....sort of. I quilted my yellow HST wallhanging with close straight lines. After I finished, I remembered that I had thought about parallel lines in the yellow from the center out like a spiral. Oh well, maybe I'll make another. I do like the way this kind of quilting looks.
I decided against a border or a visible binding. I have never done this kind of binding before. I pulled it all the way to the back before sewing it down. This picture doesn't show the trouble I had with the corners. I like this nice clean look and I am sure I'll try it again and hopefully get better at the corners. I looked around the web for a tutorial but couldn't find one. If anyone knows of one, lemme know. Thanks.
Wah lah!
I got the binding all ready for hand sewing before the Ravens/Patriots game on Sunday. I got all comfy with my feet up and everything within reach........and look who came along. Rosie!
She kept my lap warm. And the best part?
Here comes Festivus Maximus people. Not only are we going to the Super Bowl, but this year it's Harbowl. How cool is it that the Harbaugh brothers are both going to the Super Bowl?
Okay, back to some quilting. The other finish this weekend was the borders on this quilt. Finally. It's huge too, 100 by 114 inches. I am going to let my friend, Shirley, quilt this one for me on her longarm.
I raided my stash for light colored scrappy fabrics to make the borders. I chose to put them together on a diagonal for just a teensy bit of interest.
This is going to be a great quilt for everyday use on my bed.
I know I've shown some of these blocks up close before but I just can't help more little peeks.
Made fabric' for the center.
And a tiny little pinwheel block snuck in there.
Fabrics with words, yippee.
When I put the border fabrics together, I ended up with a bunch of large HST's so I put them together for the back.
More stash busting for the back. Yeesh it's big. So so glad I'm not going to quilt this one.
Here they are, top and back, all folded and ready for Shirley to get home from vacation.
Hmm, what is that to the right in the picture?
Ugh, I gotta keep it real here. My work table is messy again. I did say trying to keep it clean was a fail before it even started. Let's just delete that resolution shall we?
But this is why it's messy. I spent last evening playing with my 2 1/2 inch strips. See this little pile of strips? All ready to whip up 19 blocks. For a while now I have seen the Scrappy Trip Along blocks on the web. I wasn't too interested at first because of all the 2 inch squares. I'm still in recovery after the Great Granny Quiltalong. Then I saw this tutorial.
Pretty sneaky little technique. I had to try it so I whipped this block up on Saturday. Nineteen more are coming and I'll have another scrappy stash quilt made. It will be interesting to see how it looks because I am working mostly with strips that I have had for years. They aren't very bright which is what I like now.
And I'll leave you with this shot of my friend, Pat. She has a crazy headband on with flickering purple lights. This was Saturday, the day before we won the championship. In Baltimore we love our Ravens' purple.
