I can't even believe how quickly this week has flown by! I've actually been quite productive this week and hope the momentum will continue. What are your weekend plans? My mom postponed her trip to this Saturday, so I will be spending some time with her. I also have another round of wine-tasting to look forward to -- this time, the theme is Australian and New Zealand wines. Any recommendations??
I thought I would post this amazing video for you -- I was listening to Portishead's album Third today in the car, and remembered this eerie video I came across some time ago: a four-minute version of the 1960 horror film Les Yeux sans Visage set to Portishead's song Hunter. Chillingly beautiful.
Enjoy your weekend and enjoy the links!
::Just in time for November's political shenanigans, check out this fantastic {and funny} collection of political signs over at Yes and Yes.
::Blood Milk's JL Schnabel celebrates her one-year anniversary with her husband, and posts pictures from their ceremony at Philadelphia's Mutter Museum...yes, they were married at a museum of medical oddities. Coolest. Wedding. Ever.
::Sheaff Ephemera -- This endlessly addictive site houses image collections of everything from "extreme typography" to "people holding fish."
::I don't personally own...or even like...velvet paintings. But they do hold a tender place in my heart due to the fact that my grandmother had a giant velvet Last Supper of Christ painting hanging over her dining table when I was growing up. Needless to say, I'm pretty sure grandma would appreciate the velvet paintings at Velveteria.
:: One of the things on my "101 Things to Do before I Die List" happens to be to live in a house or apartment with a chandelier. I can't even begin to dissect the psychology behind my obsession with shiny, dangly things, so I will just say that this NotCot post featuring some of the gorgeous chandeliers at Versailles has me working overtime trying to figure out how to meet this goal...

A learning curve for the 'Punter' this IPL
Every sport abounds with greats and is studded with stars whose pure unadulterated talent keeps the fans in awe. Men have come and men have gone, yet, a few remain etched in our hearts forever. They are the heroes, the sporting heroes every budding sportsman dreams to be. Their clout is immense and immeasurable. They are the role models for every lad in every nook and corner of the country. Every mother aspires her child to become like them. Every marketer is after them, and when they decide to endorse, they set the sales figures tumbling. They knock over the TRP ratings and keep the cash registers ringing. Last but not least, they are the ambassadors of the sport and the face of it. Hence, there have been stars, but superstars have been scant. The road from a star to the superstar has been less tread on. To tread on that road, would talent alone suffice?
Enter Ricky Ponting. His talent or his caliber as a batsman is unquestionable. His batting prowess is immaculate. With a willow in his hand, he dictates terms to every bowler and on his day, he can dismantle any attack. When in full flow, he sounds the death knell for the bowlers. His customary shuffle and the intensity of his strokes have drawn admiration from every corner of the cricketing globe. His mutilating knock against India in the finals of the 2003 World Cup that ripped apart the Indian attack and kicked India out of the game is certainly one of the best knocks ever played. It takes astonishing skill to script such a free flowing innings under pressure in a World Cup final. At his peak, he threatened to break Tendulkar's records and as a school kid I was just praying for Ponting to lose his form. Yet, even with such spectacular plaudits under his kitty, he isn't the most respected cricketer in the world. An Australian kid would aspire to become a Steve Waugh, a Shane Warne, an Adam Gilchrist or Ricky Ponting the batsman. Ricky Ponting the cricketer is certainly not the dream for every kid. There is something beyond talent and attributes that transcend you to the next level.
When Ponting retired, every former cricketer lauded him for his exploits on the field as a batsman, yet none of them were able to vouch for him as a sportsman. Every Indian had his own share of bottled anger and that inhibited the accolades that would have flowed when he called it a day. The Sydney Test was still fresh in every Indian's mind. When he feigned a catch that he had grassed, he lost the most important attribute for a human being – credibility. That moment, he buried the sportsman that he was. The word 'sport' had lost its sheen. All his achievements as a batsman flew out in a jiffy that moment. His character was sullied. Early in his career, he was involved in a brawl in India and controversies weren't alien to him. Every time he showed dissent to an umpire's decision or every time he sledged, he was murdering the sporting spirit. The first lesson for every sportsman is to keep up the spirit of the game and he had foundered in that area. He might have aced every other lesson of the game, yet, he goofed up the paramount lesson. He was a star and remains a star. Superstar and role model are too far fetched for him and the price tags attached to those terms are seldom affordable.
There enters another sportsman, the pinnacle of greatness and the ambassador of the game – Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar. A lot has been spoken and written about his greatness on the field. If he was a master on the field, his stature was only better off the field. His conduct always set an example, just the way his batting did. He has seen the vicissitudes of two and a half decades and his career remains unblemished. Of all the laurels he's won, one stands out. A bookie went on record saying that match fixing would begin only after Sachin had got out. That speaks volumes of this man. Amid all the muddle and turmoil, he stayed silent, he let his bat do the talking and that too in style. When news of match fixing reached him on the eve of the Sharjah match, he vowed to win the match for the nation and so he did. After mounting such heights, he still remains rooted to his culture and every time he's back from a tour, he makes it a point to meet his coach Ramakant Achrekar. On the morning of a surgery, he fought with the doctors to postpone the surgery by a few hours as he wanted to watch an India match on TV. After every IPL victory, when the entire team partied, he would drive home to his hotel room. Partying to him was meant to be on the field at the expense of the bowler. He distanced himself from flamboyance, glitz and glamour. On the field too, he walked his talk. If he was at the receiving end of a harsh umpiring decision, he showed no sort of dissent or disgruntlement. He respected everyone associated with the game and so did everyone in return. He might not have walked, but never did he stay after the umpire ruled. If being unfazed by sledging is one thing, not sledging in return is another thing. He remained stoic when the bowlers mouthed. For all the flak and scorn aimed at him, he let the bat do the talking. His character and conduct speak louder than his records do. When he retired from ODIs, a billion cried. Not only did we lose a great batsman, we lost a great benevolent human being.
Now, doing justice to the topic, Ponting has got a chance to redeem his misdoings. In the IPL that is going to unfold in a couple of months, Ponting will play alongside Tendulkar. This would, for sure, be a treat for the fans, to witness two batting greats sharing the crease. Beyond that, it would prove to be a learning curve for Ponting. Ponting will share the dressing room with Tendulkar. Tendulkar's aura would be infectious and I'm sure Ponting would benefit from it on the whole. Of all the things Ponting needs to learn, simplicity comes first. After breaking every record in the book and after having redefined batting, Tendulkar still remains the shy sixteen-year-old at heart. The pompous Ponting needs to learn from the modest master in terms of humility and simplicity. Next in line is the spirit of the game every sportsman is committed to keep up. While Ponting fakes dismissals on the field, Tendulkar reinstates batsmen who have fallen prey to wrong decisions. Ponting needs to imbibe such spirits from the master. Ponting needs to draw a leaf out of Tendulkar's conduct on the field and atone for the "hooliganism" he has practised over the years. Last but not least, he needs to learn the art of respecting the opposition. The moment you bow down to your opponent, you're in for a fair trade and you'll benefit from it. The moment you stay high-headed, you've lost it all. These are just a glaring few areas; there is more in store for Ponting to learn from the master.
When you walk into the sunset, the world needs to respect you for your character as well as your talent. Jettisoning the former could prove to be egregious. Tendulkar is an epitome of benevolence on and off the field. He is an icon, a role model and a superstar indeed. He took the road, galloped through it and the wheels are still in motion. He had something more than talent that set him apart, on a whole new plane. One side of the learning is certain. Given the keen learner he is, Tendulkar would also learn a thing or two from Ponting.

Reason 1 : The fellow that runs it, David Heyman is a great guy, a good writer, a scholar, and a hell of a fisherman.
Reason 2 : The reason you read my blog is probably to look at some photographs, get fishing reports, and get informed about Great Lakes Fishing opportunities. The trout bum does the same, but in different specialties.
Reason 3 : I'm an aspiring fly fisherman and have learned from reading the blog, which specializes in trout fishing fortuities in the greater Chicago region, specifically the drift-less area in Wisconsin.
Lastly, I consider The Great Lakes Angler and The Chicago Trout Bum's relationship as a sort of partnership, through his blog, readers find mine, and through mine, his in turn. David works at a local fly shop in Chicago and is the man to go to when it comes to tying flies, buying rods, or just plain figuring out what a roll cast is.
Please check out his blog, you'll be glad you did.

A Quick Study with Kirk Settle
About A Quick Study
This ongoing series is aimed at getting to know what motivates and inspires UBC students about their learning — inside and outside the classroom.
On self-care, moderation, the positive influence of friends, George Ezra and Hozier, and the benefits of real-life clinical experience.
Meet Kirk Settle, UBC Bachelor of Nursing Science Program.
Why UBC?
KS: UBC's Bachelor of Nursing Science Program is an incredible feat. In only 18 months, you go from Science Geek to full-blown Registered Nurse, making it the most accelerated Nursing Program of its kind in Canada. As someone who intended on becoming a Nurse Practitioner (NP) since my early 20s, I've planned on applying for UBC Nursing since my early 20s, but this Program is very competitive. I finished up my prerequisite Science degree on the Vancouver campus, applied nationwide in the hopes of receiving an offer from anywhere, and after two years was fortunate enough to receive a couple from UBC and UofT Nursing. I loved UBC since I first came here after high school ages ago, so I had to stick with my beautiful and familiar Alma Mater. I'm very satisfied with my choice thus far, and with graduation now on the horizon I have no expectations of my mood changing by then.
How did you become involved with the Undergrad Nursing Society?
KS: It was totally on a whim! The elections for our NUS took place at a time last year when our Nursing class was bogged down with nightmarish extremes of homework and clinical. With morale plummeting to Marianas' Trench depths, the last thing on our minds at the time was extra-curricular work. Hence, only a couple of positions were gauging interest from us at first. I had some experience in leadership roles before the program, so after lots of peer motivation and some help from my massive superiority complex I decided to run for the Presidency. In the end an election and vote actually was needed, but I did emerge from it with my current role and it's been a roller coaster ride ever since. It just so happens my cohort's an amazing one, so even with the added grey hairs from the additional workload it's been a blast accomplishing great things with this group of people.
What does 'staying healthy' mean to you?
KS: We're plagued by statistics all of the time that discuss how unhealthy Western Society is. Yes, over half of us have one or more chronic illnesses, and obesity is a major health concern even in 'Yoga-Pants-and-Greek-Yogurt VanCity'. However, these stats tend to overshadow key aspects of health like mindfulness and well-being. What good is being physically active, and eating in proper moderation when you're always miserable or stressed? Staying healthy to me means an emphasis on self-care and ensuring that you know how to respond to your body's cues with moderation. If you feel like jumping head-first into a fence post, perhaps it's time to let yourself relax and hop on YouTube or Netflix for a bit. Always find the time to see a movie, hang out with friends, and check out what's happening in the city. Of course, staying healthy does mean physically taking care of yourself as well, so be sure to exercise and maintain your medical and dental checkups. Happiness can help you achieve great things, but probably won't unclog that artery on its own.
What's some advice you would give to future nursing or medical students?
KS: I'm certainly no medical student, but I do have a couple of friends in the midst of their 3rd and 4th year who consistently provide the same advice to freshmen: enjoy yourselves, while you still can. The final two years before residency are apparently horrific in terms of workload, and many regret not enjoying themselves enough at the beginning of the Program when the pace was more reasonable.
As for you Nursing students: congrats on making the right choice!!
Seriously though, any student entering UBC Nursing (or any nursing program for that matter) is strongly encouraged to rely on peers and faculty for the necessary support to come out as a partially-seared Graduate (instead of a rotisserie). I have become discouraged a few times and fallen behind on curricula, but have always had a support structure that kept a collective eye on me and provided help when I needed it. You will have a miserable time becoming an RN in only 1.5 years without support from your peers and structures. Otherwise, if you have a passion for nursing and know this is your career, you will certainly succeed in the program with that attitude.
Is there anyone who inspires you to pursue what you love? How have they influenced you?
KS: I can't say there is one person in particular that drives me. My parents and the rest of my family have always supported me throughout my goofy endeavors; nearly all of my choices and decisions have been passed by my Ma and Pa, and their advice has always helped me stay on track (even though 'Space Pirate' is still a lingering afterthought). Many friends of mine are available to monitor mental stability on my behalf. I also have friends who graduated as nurses well before I made it to this program; they consistently advocated for the NP role over other excellent careers in Medicine and Pharmacy, and I cannot thank them enough for influencing me up to this point. Finally, I've always been surrounded by a driven group of people- be they lifelong friends or UBC colleagues- that continuously provide the motivation to push harder. If you want to succeed, then simply surround yourself with the right people. You'd be amazed how well you'll progress just by keeping up with the pace.
What's on your playlist these days?
KS: Oh boy. Well, asides from the Billboard 100 Pop drivel the world (and I) are too guilty to say what is hiding on their phone, there are a couple alternative tracks I've had on nonstop repeat lately. Florence + The Machine recently played here in Van, and though we've all heard a couple of their tracks, their albums are wickedly consistent; check out What Kind of Man (beware: the music video's a shocker) and You've Got the Love. George Ezra and Hozier occasionally sound identical, so I might as well include them both; for George check out Blame it on Me and Listen to the Man, and have a listen to Hozier's Someone New, Work Song, and From Eden (because you're undoubtedly sick of Take me to Church by now, right?). Finally, The Boom Booms are a local band that's never failed to impress, and recently killed it at a Commodore showing; check out their full album Love is Overdue.
Why is it important to put the skills you're learning at UBC into life real practice?
KS: Nursing is a very, very hands-on profession, as I'm sure you've heard through the many bodily-fluid related experiences that nurses seem hell-bent on sharing. I imagine without the 1200 hours of real-life clinical and hundreds of part-time Employed Student Nurse hours I'd have absolutely no idea what I was doing in the hospital! The same goes for giving flu shots and other medications. Though they're generally easy to administer, mistakes can still happen without ample practice like poor landmarking or unnecessary amounts of pain at the injection site. Like many other aspects of nursing, it takes the right mix of practical and theoretical education to appropriately utilize the skill. Luckily, I happen to have a month of test subjects signing up for our UBC Flu Clinics to perfect my trade, so by the end of the month I can't imagine I'll be saying "oops" too often.
Anyone can get the flu no matter how young, fit and healthy they are. Why is it important to get the flu shot and how else can students protect themselves from the flu?
KS: It's true, the flu shot is not 100% effective because of the unpredictability of influenza strains, which can discourage people from getting one at all; however, it is still statistically the best way to prevent yourself from getting infected with the 3 common forms of influenza. The immunization also minimizes your chance of spreading it to others, like children or the elderly who are more at risk for severe complications from the flu bug. Plus, come on now, a needle is nothing compared to spending two days straight hunched over the mighty ceramic throne!
There are certainly other methods alongside the flu shot to help you prevent yourself and others from becoming infected though. It's a given that you must constantly wash your hands with hot water. Just do it all the time! Like… why aren't you washing your hands?! DO IT! You can also keep your immune system at its peak with the right balance of exercise, moderated eating, and stress levels; imbalances in any of these can negatively affect your immunity and compromise your defenses against the flu bug. If you have to sneeze or cough, contain it by coughing into your shoulder or elbow rather than embracing those around you with airborne bacterial gifts. My most valuable tip though is to spend all winter keeping your hands as far from your face as possible, especially your eyes. Though many rub their eyes without even knowing it, this is a common entryway for influenza and can be easily avoided.

Zeedman, I can see the pumpkin on a stick used that way, but these look a little too large to dry and use. I would think that they would grow moldy before they dried out. I am not speaking from experience on these, just thinking that would happen. Have you grown these and dried them? I did grow pumpkins on a stick a few years ago and they are very light even as a fresh cut stem. This particulat variety looks to have substance to it. Just my thoughts, for all 2 cents worth.

Yes, I grew TO several years ago. When I save seed from eggplant, I generally let them get as ripe as frost will allow, pick them, and let the mature fruit ripen further indoors. When the eggplant begins to rot or get soft, I process the seeds. There are some ripe "Casper" and "Diamond" in my basement now, which are almost ready to process.
The thing was, most of the TO didn't get soft or rot, they just began to dry. Mine weren't on a stem, so I couldn't use them for decoration; I harvested the seed before they dried completely. The wild form of S. gilo I allowed to dry on the stem.

Well, That is interesting. I look at the mass of them and wouldn't expect them to dry. Interesting to know for future reference. Hopefully I can remember to order some when I do my seed order for next year ( or not worry about the cost of 1 more variety. What's money worth? I can't take it with me when I go)

I have been learning about the Solanum aethiopicum/gilo, S. integrifolium, S. anguivi species complex a lot lately, because I like the spines. I have a couple seedlings under my grow light going strong. My understanding is that S. integrifolium is supposed to be a backcross between S. aethiopicum, the kind used for food in Africa and South Asia, and S. anguivi, the wild ancestor.
This article talks about the taxonomy on p. 153-154.
I found this ebay auction recently labelled "melanzana lunga rossa," or "long red eggplant" in Italian. The fruit is shaped like a common eggplant, but it's orange-red. What really caught my eye is that the plants look like they are about eight feet tall in pictures. I kind of doubted it was an eggplant because of that. The stems are green like an S. melongena instead of dark like an S. integrifolium though. The seller informed me that it came from Brazil but that is all I know about the provenance. I can't post the link to the auction or her pictures, but I wish you all could see it. It's the strangest thing.

An interesting link.
Chances are that the "melanzana lunga rossa" is similar to the Brazilian Gilo that I grew. It was a very tall, green-stemmed plant, with clusters of very small flowers. It reached over 4' even in my short summer. The fruit, though, was small; only about 3". A variety with longer fruit would be interesting. I'm kind of skeptical of the fruit resembling that of S. melongena though... wish I could see a photo.

I was just amazed at the pristine color (bright, shiny yellow/gold with maroonish stripes) and the perfect condition of the eggplant after over four months on the counter of my kitchen.
So, apparently, some varieties of eggplant, even some of the larger ones, can dry over a very long time without rotting, softening, or getting moldy. Pretty cool!

Feta Eggplant Recipe

1 medium eggplant (about 1 pound)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese, preferably organic sheep or goat
1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
1 small red bell pepper, finely chopped
1 small hot pepper, such as jalapeño, seeded and minced preferably fully ripe red (optional)
1 cayenne hot pepper seeded and minced preferably fully ripe red (optional)
5-10 sweet grape, currant, or cherry tomatoes diced (extra sweet varieties)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh tarragon
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh mint
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional to taste)
Pinch of sugar (optional to taste)
1. Position oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source; preheat broiler.
2. Line a baking pan with foil. Place eggplant in the pan and poke a few holes all over it to vent steam. Broil the eggplant, turning with tongs every 5 minutes, until the skin is charred and a knife inserted into the dense flesh near the stem goes in easily, 14 to 18 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board until cool enough to handle.
3. Put lemon juice in a medium bowl. Cut the eggplant in half lengthwise and scrape the flesh into the bowl, tossing with the lemon juice to help prevent discoloring. Blend eggplant into a chunky paste.
4. Add oil and stir with a fork until the oil is absorbed. (It should be a little chunky.) Stir in feta, onion, bell pepper, hot pepper (if using), tomatoes, herbs and salt. Taste and add sugar if needed. (I never needed sugar but tastes vary)
5. chill
Note: This has 2 versions sweet and spicy. If you choose sweet, then sweet peppers should be used instead of Cayenne or jalapeño and no cilantro. If you prefer spicy then include both hot peppers and cilantro. Powdered herbs or chili powder can be substituted for fresh but it is much better with fresh herbs.
Serve with pita or any "dipping" bread. One festive way to serve it is in a hollow stuffing tomato with a mint leaf garnish.
Since I originally posted this I have tried a few variations. (can't help myself ) And the best variation I tried used pickled red cherry tomatoes from Moshou's recipe instead of fresh cherry tomatoes! Just WOW.

I've got two of the Italian long reds and two of the S. integrifolium. One of the S. integrifolium is in my window box, which gets about gets about 2 hours of sun and then a lot of "daytime," and the other is in a 5-gallon bucket getting eaten up by some sort of bug. The long reds are growing like some sort of crazy tree, they more vigorous than any eggplant I've got growing, with huge leaves.

Fun thread as I relish eggplants, and come from a culture (mediterranean) where we eat lots of it.
Here's the simplest recipe I know (other than snacking on the little ones raw straight off the plant, which I've done.)
1) Grill on hi heat over charcoal, turn over 2~3x until soft inside and skin is a bit charred.
2) Remove and put in deep dish to let cool for a bit so you don't burn your fingers peeling it.
3) Peel skin gently, removing all the little bits. Save the juice that oozed out.
4) Cut in small chunks, sprinkle with salt and EVOO.
5) Savor with slices of pita bread. Smooth and smokey.
Works with any eggplant, black beauty and ichiban being the standards. Use the younger fruits which are sweeter and have fewer seeds.

Kierkegaard, thanks for posting the photo. Your plant very closely resembles the Brazilian S. gilo that I grew several years ago. The flowers were white, small, and borne in clusters, the fruit closely resembled yours in shape, and the plants grew to about 5' tall before killed by frost. I could barely tolerate the bitterness of the immature fruits.
"So, apparently, some varieties of eggplant, even some of the larger ones, can dry over a very long time without rotting, softening, or getting moldy. Pretty cool!"
Well, I guess there's something to be said when you are so bitter, even mold won't touch you.
Taboule, you had me until Step 3. That's how I freeze eggplant - cooked and peeled, with stem on - for the winter. When I pull it out, then it's Step 4, except I add the chopped eggplant to a seasoned egg batter & make mini omelets.

The LG G4 passes through GFXBench, reveals Snapdragon 808 heart, 16MP camera, and more

I'm extremely happy they went with the 808. No overheating. And 2+4 is theoritically the optimal solution for a big.LITTLE SoC.
13. samsboy (unregistered)
Hello Tyrion, is 808 a 64 bit processor or not?, Don't really have and idea.
15. TyrionLannister (unregistered)
Yes, it's a 64 bit processor and should lead to great battery life. The performance should be on par with 805.
17. UglyFrank (Posts: 2184; Member since: 23 Jan 2014)
GPU is weaker than the 420 though.
19. TyrionLannister (unregistered)
But it's more efficient than the 420. 420 performance in benchmarks is great but it throttles in real games and can't sustain the performance. The 418 can surpass that if it's efficient.
45. MachDaddy (Posts: 52; Member since: 06 Mar 2013)
Does anyone else read all of Tyrion's comments in his Game of Thrones character's voice? It really adds a degree of civility to the comments section here :)
22. sharks (Posts: 236; Member since: 16 Feb 2013)
I am extremely happy and very satisfied already if LG indeed uses the 808 and not the problematic 810. 808 is still a beast and there is no huge margin in processing power compared to 810. In fact, if i were to choose between the cooler and more efficient 808 giving a longer lasting battery and no throttling in graphic-intensive games, i would prefer 808 over 810 any day, at least until 815 is released at the end of the year. 815 will probably appear in the Nexus 2015 at around December release, including the G4 Note. But 808 is definitely the wise choice for 2015, given the overheating issues that plagues the 810.
20. may_czos (Posts: 952; Member since: 22 Nov 2014)
808 is basically 810 with two cores less. And Adreno 418 is Adreno 330 equivalent. Overall this setup is SD801's equivalent.
26. TyrionLannister (unregistered)
418 is in between 330 and 420. It's more efficient than both.
28. obsidyen (Posts: 37; Member since: 18 Feb 2015)
Yes, but it's 64 bit which is always a plus.
25. engineer-1701d (unregistered)
I would say its more funny that's there might not be a sd card now all the folks crying about Samsung's galaxy s6 not having sd card can cry about this with a smaller processor gs6 ftw 2015
33. j2001m (Posts: 3046; Member since: 28 Apr 2014)
If they do remove it this will help remove lag from there phones as the card reader lag the phone out, but they got big time software problems that they also need to sort out
41. LGisgood (Posts: 833; Member since: 23 Jun 2012)
its a good choice not to go with overheating SD810

810 is flawed otherwise they won't go with 808
21. may_czos (Posts: 952; Member since: 22 Nov 2014)
808 is a 810 with two cores less and weaker GPU.
42. LGisgood (Posts: 833; Member since: 23 Jun 2012)
3. q857261935 (Posts: 8; Member since: 26 Nov 2013)
I guess 808 is a wise choice. Hexa core, so a bit more power efficient than octa core. But does this also confirm that the 810 in the G Flex 2 really has issue that LG can't solve?
34. j2001m (Posts: 3046; Member since: 28 Apr 2014)
Hm, solve for QHD anyways, no phones going to work right in a small package this year with QHD using 810, it's junk
4. iphonexus (Posts: 130; Member since: 04 Jan 2015)
Throttled 810 = 808 .should go with exynos ... I am curious about gpu performance
6. Felix_Gatto (Posts: 942; Member since: 03 Jul 2013)
It's on par or a bit lower to Adreno 420, and more power efficient.
5. Felix_Gatto (Posts: 942; Member since: 03 Jul 2013)
Qualcomm should make the S810 in hexa core instead of octa core.
7. 99nights (Posts: 1152; Member since: 10 Mar 2015)
Ohhh 808 sounds alot better than the 810
8. CptPwn (Posts: 26; Member since: 20 Mar 2015)
I agree totally! The 808 is more than enough and then some. Hope there will be more 808 phones to come. Cheaper than the 810 phones too, I hope.
23. may_czos (Posts: 952; Member since: 22 Nov 2014)
808 is 801's equivalent. Combine that with QHD resolution and it doesn't look so good anymore.
49. G9-Kokos (Posts: 27; Member since: 31 Jan 2015)
Ppl rly compare them linear.
Take into account the QHD and everything, we gonna have another G3 laggy phone this year.
And probably bad battery life too.
44. LGisgood (Posts: 833; Member since: 23 Jun 2012)
that's right.
10. egbtmagus (Posts: 93; Member since: 12 Apr 2012)
This also could be another G4 variant like the Vigor, Vista, Stylus or the other devices that had a Gx moniker last year but lower specs than their daddy.
11. Kumar123 (unregistered)
I wish LG the best. I hope they will aggressively market this phone and do well in the market especially in the South Korea and USA market.

Weapons of Economic Warefare III
Consumers' expectations of the future are the true target here. Economics has a less than ideal understanding of how expectations are formed, but there are a few simple ideas that might be exploited to this end. Continued bad news, or uncertainty is one way in which consumers expectations of the future may be manipulated. News stories covering closing of factories and failing businesses would be one method of decreasing consumer confidence. Proximity and accessibility are two keys in an individual's assessment of risk. Proximity basically means did it happen to someone close to you or like you. If news stories or other methods of relating the unfortunate events relating to an "every man" are circulated, this will likely have a strong negative impact on consumer confidence. Accessibility refers to how easily an event like the one being assessed can be called to mind. Recently experienced events tend to receive higher assessed likelihoods than events further in the past. Thus increasing the frequency of these stories would increase the perceived likelihood of such an event. The result would again be a loss of consumer confidence.
There is another, more devious method of attacking consumer confidence. Very little shakes a person like disappointment. Thus, consumer confidence could be attacked not by trying to convince the populace of a country the future is going to be bleak, but by convincing them things were going to go phenomenally well.. By creating unrealistic expectations you set the populace up for a disappointment. The reaction to this disappointment would be a substantial contraction in consumer confidence and spending resulting in the desired economic hardship. The advantage of this approach is that people are more likely to believe what they want to hear, and good news is what most people want to hear.
Punch line: Beware of good news. It may not be what you think it is. J

hi there, dr. childs - "the centre of the universe says a mighy hello" - i am glad you're doing this, and if you're wondering, i am doing fantastic and yes i have switched to economics full-time and looking forward to going to the US - vanderbilt or american university specifically, so I hope you're proud, you and your twin had A LOT to do with that:
i agree with your comment; this is why today we had the american treasury secretary say that the recent stock market dips don't reflect how strong the economy is. alrighty then, enough with his spin, reality is that the majority of the public is in fact not better off today then they were before bush 2 came to power. recent statistics have proved that the upper tier have seen massive real income gains while the middle and lower class have struggled to keep up. those income tiers have supplemented their incomes by increasing debt loads (ie: home equity loans and the like specifically). the real $64,000 question is: when we land, are going to suffer two broken legs or one?
i will comment on productivity in a future commentary. some really interesting stuff has come out recently about canada and it doesn't look good. let's just say that canada on it's own cannot continue in the future, simply because it's such a darn expensive place to live and work. i am advocating continentalism, and since we do have a good test subject to learn from (the EU), we can improve upon that model and do LESS mistakes (i'm sure some will happen).
i would love to hear what you have to say about it.

Economist At Large,
With news being news, and people's actions resulting from such news, why doesn't the economic community use these methods of consumer confidence manipulation to counter such declines? Why wouldn't the economist's make these tendencies extremely public?
Perhaps you're going to say that the economic community does in fact try to make it public that the consumers doom themselves, and that ignorance is to blame.
Well let me ask you this. If human expectations generally drive actual occurrences, then why don't you use the Economic knowledge as one of your "Weapons of Economic Warefare"? If economists were to make these public, not just tell some of your friends/colleagues or the arms reach of your economic community, but actually make this dooming self prophecy well known in the community as a whole, by launching Economic campaigns to educate the public, wouldn't this combat these tendencies.
Or is it that the Economic Community needs these "Weapons of Economic Warefare" in their back pocket so they can stun the economy if need be, to prevent an economy from growing out of control. Is this the reason, economists make these "Back Pocket" tools, largely unknown and not widely advertised?

This guide has been created as the first step in employing email strategy to get the responses you want from busy people!
It's a summary of our learning from Ramit Sethi's "50 proven email scripts", of which sections of his work has been quoted.
1) The 5-minute straight-jacket technique
Turn off all distractions. Ask yourself: Why am I emailing this person? What exactly do I want? What does the person I'm emailing want? Is this the right person considering my goals? Is this the right time to send an email?
Use this with: People you've just met, people you casually know, people you don't know but aspire to get something from.
2) Hack the Person's Mind
Learn everything you can about the person you're contacting. Read all of their content, browse all their social media, their business sites, etc. You should understand their career background and trajectory, the details of their day-to-day job, their personal interests, their relationship status, and any mutual friends you might have. All of this allows you to build rapport with the person.
Use this with: Anyone new you're meeting (and presumably you want something from).
3) The Ramit 1-2 Punch
Start with a jab, follow with a cross! Get their attention, then unload the information.
"Hi ****,
I'm working on a book proposal and wanted to see if I could get your feedback.
Can I send it your way (I'll include a few specific questions I'm looking for your thoughts on)?
Thanks, Ben."
The next email can then include the specifics. This way you get someone to commit to answering you, without having scared them with a bunch of information straight away.
Use this technique carefully, you don't want a reputation as the guy who always sends a short email followed by something complex.
4) The UNODIR Strategy
"Unless Otherwise Directed". When you're stuck with bureaucracy within your organisation, this is a great strategy to use to push things through. Rather than asking an open-ended question (when you need an answer by a certain time), state you will do something unless there's strong reason not to.
"Hi guys,
Unless there's a STRONG reason not to launch, I'll be launching the new FAQ tomorrow at 11am.
We've added the last files, checked the links to ensure they're working and we're ready to go."
It's important to not use a question mark, because really, you don't want an answer.
You use this when you know you're right and need to keep a project moving forward regardless of your co-workers' multiple opinions.
5) Strategic Updates
To build successful meeting and email exchanges you need to stay in touch with all the people you know. This is one of the most challenging and important strategies, as you need to continuously work to keep the lines of communication open.
A good rule of thumb is to send quarterly updates by email. You also want to meet in person or talk on the phone as frequently as seems possible. However, only contact him as often as he seems receptive to and make sure it's in his preferred style. This could mean email, blog posts, a Facebook message. Whatever works for HIM.
A great opportunity to get in touch is when you see them featured in a news piece or you've just read their new article, or even an article about their competitors you think they should know about.
Never just drop an email saying: "Hey – what's new with you?"
Once again, make it easy for them; they're busy! Send them some information you know they will find interesting, and if appropriate, include the words "no reply necessary". This shows that you're being valuable AND not taking up any additional time.
Use this with: Everyone you're interested in having a relationship with, no matter how small. For the seemingly unimportant, include them on an automated newsletter update list.
6) Power Dynamics and the Wide/Narrow Formula
Respect the power dynamic between the two of you. You reached out to her and you're asking for her time. That means you should proactively offer to meet her at a location of her choice at a convenient time. Suggesting a coffee shop near you can sound aloof and even arrogant. Make the effort!
Use their time zone (don't make them think). Acknowledge how many emails they probably get, so you'd be honoured to get even 10 minutes of their time.
Wide/Narrow Formula. Explicitly offer to work around their schedule because you know they're busy, but help by suggesting specific times. You might say "I'm totally free on Monday and can accommodate your schedule. How does 3pm work?" This works for content too: "I'd love to talk about all of those things, but I think you'd particularly enjoy hearing about my trip to China".
Your goal is to minimize the back-and-forth of emails!
Use this with: Anytime you're trying to schedule a meeting with someone who's agreed to meet you.
7) Social Proof
This is the most powerful technique. The best way to break through a busy person's inbox is to get introduced by a trusted referral. This cannot be emphasized enough: getting an introduction from someone trusted by the busy person dramatically increases your odds of a positive response. Using a subject line of "Steven suggested I get in touch" virtually guarantees a response from a busy person. This is because:
1) Busy people use their social network as a filter for credibility (If Steven recommends her, she's probably good).
2) As a courtesy, busy people will generally accept a phone call or small meeting if one of their contacts suggests them, even if they immediately know there's no interest. ("Well, I'll meet this guy as a courtesy to Steven since he's helped me out in the past. It can't hurt for 5 or 10 minutes").
How a busy Venture Capitalist views referrals
"While we accept business plan submissions from everyone, we've found that the most effective introduction is from someone who knows you and knows us. We place a much higher priority on deals that referred/endorsed by people we know and trust. We are also big fans of LinkedIn – if you use LinkedIn, please feel free to reach out to us through your network".
Here's how to leverage a shared, trusted connection:
First, ask your friend for the best way to contact your target. Does he prefer email? (Probably). Is there a particular time that works best? Is she on vacation for the next two weeks? Ask your friend for any suggestions.
Next, ask whether your friend would mind making an introduction, or if he'd allow you to use his name in your initial email ("Steven suggested I get in touch"). You'll have to explain why you're interested in contacting the target person. Don't be disappointed if your friend declines to introduce you – sometimes it can just be a waste of time.
If the email is extremely important (getting admission to an important program, or registering for an exclusive event), ask your friend to send an unsolicited, short email to the target singing your praises.
For example: "I heard Brian is applying to your company as a designer. Just wanted to let you know that he's terrific – great design skills, but more importantly, he's superb at communication. Let me know if I can answer any other questions".
Note: Always pre-write the email so your friend can edit it as desired.
Key point: When contacting a busy person – especially extremely busy people like venture capitalists or celebrities – using common, trusted connections is virtually the only way to guarantee a response.
Use this with: Extremely busy people when you have a CLOSE contact with one of their CLOSE contacts.
Do not use this more than once with the same person.
Much of what will follow may seem common sense, but the majority of the time these guidelines are ignored. Just getting these right can set you apart from the unwashed masses!
1) Write a compelling subject line
The subject line is the first and sometimes only thing anyone will read. It's your best shot at standing out from all the other emails clogging up the inbox.
Examples of terrible subject lines:
A question
Excited to email…
Examples of excellent subject lines:
1) I'm going to be in town next Tues – are you available?
2) Greeting from a blog reader and fan; questions about ING Direct
3) All you need to know about Philadelphia (and a small question)
4) Hello from SF-based aspiring pet entrepreneur
That's right, take up the whole subject line!
Perhaps even ask a question. You need to set the right tone by being clear and direct in your subject line. When it comes to email marketing, the best subject lines tell what's inside, and the worst subject lines sell what's inside.
2) The Opening and Close
The friendliest way to open an email is "Hi [name of recipient]". A more casual but sometimes acceptable approach uses "Hey". Don't use "Dear [Mr. or Ms.]. This is too formal for most emails.
Don't close emails with "Regards". Too generic. Or "Cordially". It's too cold. A better option is to say "Thank you" or even "Thanks".
3) Tone of Voice
You should tailor your tone to the type of business or corporate culture of the person you are contacting. In most cases, the tone of your professional emails should be precise and serious, but also casually confident. Confidence: "I look forward to hearing from you soon!" (vs. "I hope to hear from you soon."). Friendliness: "Hi Dave," (vs. "Dear Dave,"). "How was your vacation?" (vs. I trust you are well.)
Certain words or sentence constructions can affect tone. The phrase "I would be happy to do X" implies that you are doing the other person a favour, or at the least showing you'd be happy to comply with their request. If you are the lower status person, never tell the other person you "would be happy to meet".
4) Formatting
Bad formatting can scuttle even the most helpful, interesting email. Use paragraph breaks and bullet points liberally to make your email easy to read.
Send in plain text rather than HTML so it can be easily read on a mobile device. For VIP emails, send a test to yourself to make sure it's readable and any URL's are clickable.
5) Use Correct Grammar and Spelling
Lazy typos signal laziness. Let the reader focus on your well-crafted message, instead of leaving them thinking why you can't tell the difference between "its" and "it's".
6) Be PC
If you don't know a person, you shouldn't make unnecessary religious or political or racial references. Even ending an email with "God Bless" can offend. Keep your emails professional.
7) Write well
Use an active, not passive voice. Instead of saying "Your feedback would be appreciated", say, "I would like your feedback".
Sound like a human being. The easiest way to do this is to write like you talk. If you read your email out loud and find it awkward, that's a good sign you're writing to formally.
8) When It's Time to Hit Send
If you don't think about the busy person, you lose. To maximize your chance of receiving a response, email a busy person when they're most likely to read and process it.
Do not email a busy person on a Friday afternoon or a Monday morning. They will be so busy prepping for their week, or ending it, that they won't have the time to respond. Think about when they're most receptive. On Sunday night when they're prepping for the week? Tuesday morning? It depends on the person, so get researching! Generally speaking, Monday afternoon and Tuesday mornings are good to avoid the weekend purge, but also allow potential back-and-forth rapport that same week.
9) The Risk With Group Emails
A classic thing happens when you email multiple people wanting a response from them all and it's called "diffusion of responsibility". If you email 5 people asking "what do you think of this document?" everyone thinks "someone else will deal with it". The chances of receiving a reply are significantly less than if you email each person individually. Do not do group emails if you want a response from each person.
You now have a basic toolkit of strategies to use for various email situations. With time and experience, these tools will become intuitive and extremely effective when emailing busy people.

Rating: ★★★1/2
Verdict: Four shorts filmed, each most-simplistically cultivating warmth while brushing past in succession.
Chaar brings to the fore an anthology of the most-appreciated stories by prolific writers from the land of literature. Director Sandip Ray handpicks two of his father's stories and the remainder is reserved for a short by Sharadindu Bandyopadhyay and Rajshekhar Basu also popularly-known as Parashuram.
Chaar, unlike the recent flock of Bengali films is deeply-rooted and shrugs off the baggage of 'being pretentious'. The film is humble in tone and presentation, and makes up an ideal watch for family-viewing audiences. The cinematography induces warmth in visuals and is also hugely responsible for letting the audiences hook on to the stories, as if they were our own tales of mystery, bonding, cognizance and love.
'Bateswarer Abodan or Bateshwar's contribution', the opening story, kindles suspense. Parashuram's narrative is designed to spark speculation. The story is about an author's conflict with readers in deciding the fate of the fictitious Aloka in his sequel. Bateshwar Sikdar is visited by three readers on different occasions, all persuading him to let Aloka live in the sequel. Is it simply the writer's ability to infatuate readers or is there an underlying motive? Veteran Paran Bandopadhyay performs brilliantly with an ensemble of talented actors.
The shelf-life of some friendships last even after staying apart for as long as 25 years. Satyajit Ray's 'Dui Bondhu or Two friends' starts in 1988 when Pratul and Mahim form a pact to meet at Indira Cinema in 2013, exactly 25 years later. The day has come only to leave Mahim standing alone amidst unfamiliar faces at the cinema hall. Satyajit Ray's story is about the survival of bonds which is beautifully-captured in this short directed by his son.
Post-interval, Chaar features 'Kagtarua or Scarecrow', another story written by Satyajit Ray. Musician Mrigankashekhar Mukherjee on his way to Kolkata is shaken up by supernatural experiences. He meets the deceased Abhiram who is now captured as a scarecrow, and this episode helps find clues to a lost possession. Although the encounter liberates the soul of the dead but leaves the artist comprehending the past. Tollywood's favorite Saswata Chatterjee shines in this short and carries the film solo.
Chaar is a film which can be best described as the amalgamation of the magic of storytelling and the art of film techniques. The director's vision to see his film tugging at the audience's heart strings and yet not compromising on experimenting with his craft is coherent throughout. And that is why the aspect ratio is cropped as we come to the last short story 'Porikkha or Test'.
This film featuring Koel Mallick and Abir Chatterjee is shot in black and white and uses soft focus lenses to highlight the tenderness in that emotion called love. The period film chronicles that lovers often have to pass the test before being completely absorbed and consumed by each other. The production design for this short makes the viewer take note and appreciate. Binayak and Monika's compassionate love story is the closing short.
Subrata Roy's work with editing is a trinket earned for Chaar. Sandip Ray's direction is a testimonial to the filmmaker's strong sense of visualization. All in all, the film stands tall with a certificate of having excelled in all departments technical. Chaar however fails in casting Rajatava Dutta in Dui Bondhu as the celebrity from the Bombay film industry. The seasoned actor appears a misfit for this role and overdoes his part to instill the persona of a superstar.
The film comes from a place which brings a sense of belonging and is old school in every way possible. This is what works for Chaar. Sandip Ray's ensemble deserves praises galore for their acting skills worth the audience's time and attention. Had the late writers Satyajit Ray, Sharadindu Bandyopadhyay and Parashuram lived to see the onscreen adaptation of their stories, the director would be entitled to pats on the back, not one but chaar. The last coming from his audiences!
Why should you watch this film?
This movie from the Bengali film industry is purely about stories and not about selling those stories. A captivating storyline cut to restitution of tale cut to vitality of script cut to vintage magic. Sandip Ray offers you reasons to watch this film, not one but chaar.

Zen in my baby's den
December 31, 2010
Tonight, as I was rocking Gwen to sleep and playing with her hair, I looked down at her drifting sweetly off to sleepy-land face and noticed her hands were in the sign language position for "I love you!" How perfect is that? She is the most precious thing a mommy could ever want. I love this time we have together, as a family ~ just spending the days together, doing nothing more special than being with each other, is the best feeling ever.
We did venture out earlier this week to Palm Springs so that my baby could play in the snow. We took the Tramway up to the mountains, and it was absolutely gorgeous. The only problem was, it was winter break so everyone and their grandma had the same idea. We had to wait over 2 hours to get on the tram, and after an hour drive with a teething toddler, it was quite exhausting. Not to mention we had to scale the incline of the parking lot, and waiting area, then the steep, winding, and slippery slope to get to the snow. I had to carry Gwen most of the way, (but I'm not complaining about that – how could I say no to the sweetest sound of, "mommy, hold you?" Of course, I will hold you!) so I was traveling with 2 babies, and I'm still sore from it. Hello, trimester three, we meet again.
It was worth it – seeing Gwen lick snow off her glove, attempt to run through snow only to slip into the cusion of cold, white, fluff, and stumble upon a real, live snow man – all good memories I hope to give her at least once a year. We finished the day off with a hot bath, and our new bedtime routine which involves a foot rub with lavendar oil, thanks to a certian auntie. Lavendar works amazingly for bedtime! I'm also using a "zen lullabye" cd to help her drift off, and that's seems to be helping as well. She's finding her "zen" in her zzzz's…

|Anybody know how to auto generate an openejb-jar.xml file with Maven?
|Sat, 16 Jul 2005 06:31:14 GMT
Hi, I know this is the wrong place for this, but it seems the logical place, as either a) Maven is used to compile Geronimo b) OpenEJB is a component of Geronimo c) Developers from apache and OpenEJB may be reading this list d) All of the above I have been battling to figure out my development strategy for a new app I am developing. Previously I have been fortunate enough to use WSAD, but this project must be run on an open source application server, and since I believe this to better the better of the bunch, I have chosen Geronimo as the application server. I am trying the WTP from eclipse, but that is not complete and only performs the basics, i.e does not auto generate the openejb-jar.xml file, but does the ejb-jar.xml through xdoclets. So I thought I would try the maven approach, as this is a technology I am learning as I am in the process of porting a large number of ant files for another project. I have figured out the process for generating all the necessary wars, jars and ears, but not found a way to generate the openejb-jar file, other than using ant, but since I cannot find any documentation of how to use the ant version I thought I would ask around to see if anybody has done anything similair. Thanks in advance Nicholas Irving firstname.lastname@example.com

Welcome to Chase the Antelope! My personal exploration of food, traveling, running and everything in-between.
That seems like a pretty broad range of topics. So what exactly am I doing here?
First, allow me to explain myself. I've never been the type of person who knew what they were doing. You know who I'm talking about? Those people who make a plan and then actually follow through. That has never been me. I'm the person who teaches herself how to knit, but never finishes a single scarf. By next week I'll be an amateur baker. I love to dive into everything! The process of learning new things excites me, and I find joy in sharing those experiences.
Chase the Antelope is a simple mantra. You'll never catch the antelope if you don't chase it, and you'll never know if something makes you happy if you don't try. This blog is my step-by-step detailed encounter of every attempt.
"Not all who chase the antelope catch it, but those who caught it – chased it."
So let's talk about food. Anyone who knows me, knows I can eat! They also know I am much better at eating than cooking. Much better. The stories of my whole hearted attempts at cooking and baking are often more enjoyable than the food itself. Don't worry though – I have had some success stories along the way! Hopefully I'll stumble upon a few more to share with you!
I've been fortunate enough to do some traveling, and I'm excited to have an outlet to share my adventures with friends and family in the future. I'm by no means a photographer, but that's not going to stop me from over-sharing lots of photos. Prepare yourself for way to many pictures of all the things I ate! (If you're not into that kind of thing, you might just want to leave now.)
So what's left? I'm a runner, I love being outside, crafting, reading, (insert basic white girl emoji here). Basically, you can expect to see plenty of inconsistency and random posts about anything I find interesting, helpful or enjoyable. I know they say you should have a clear focus on what your blog is about – but as I just finished telling you, that's just not going to work for me!
So this is me sharing my 'chase' if you will. I am an amateur at everything, but love sharing my experiences and what I've learned with others. If not informative, hopefully I can at least keep you entertained along the way!
Keep chasing,

Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Michiel Huisman to star in Irreplaceable You drama
Over the past few weeks, I've seen Gugu Mbatha-Raw's name come up time and again in relation to upcoming film projects. Whether she's preparing for her role as Plumette in Disney's live-action BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, guest-starring in an episode of BLACK MIRROR, or completing her work on the forthcoming horror mystery film GOD PARTICLE, Raw is without a doubt one very busy woman.
Today, it's been announced that Gugu Mbatha-Raw and GAME OF THRONES alum Michiel Huisman will star together in a romantic drama called IRREPLACEABLE YOU. VEEP helmer Stephanie Laing will direct with picture in accordance with a script penned by Bess Wohl. The film tells the story of Abbie (Raw) and Sam (Huisman), two lovers who are destined to be together until death got in the way.
Jonathan Tropper and Farah Abushwesha will act as the film's producers, with The Exchange overseeing international sales.
IRREPLACEABLE YOU is expected to move into production starting in March of 2017.
|Extra Tidbit:
|My favorite role of Raw's has got to be her time as Tish Jones on the BBC's Doctor Who.

text: I believe the majority of the writers would be considered libertarian or conservative as oppose to leftist, although it is not always easy to make this distinction. What is the common thread with the writers at ANTIWAR.com is that they consistently and unequivocally oppose western imperialism, U.S. hegemony and so forth. Whatever the faults of the website, this is a lot more than you can say of many so-called leftists today.

U. Ghoshal, Ghoshal, S., McDowell, C., Shi, L., Cordes, S., and Farinelli, M., "Enhanced Thermoelectric Cooling at Cold Junction Interfaces," Appl. Phys. Lett., vol. 80, pp. 3006–3008, 2002.
We describe a thermoelectric devicestructure that confines the thermal gradients and electric fields at the boundaries of the cold end, and exploits the reduction of thermal conductivity at the interfaces and the poor electron-phonon coupling at the junctions. The measuredtemperature–current and voltage–current characteristics of a prototype cold point-contactthermoelectric cooler based on a p-type Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 and n-type Bi2Te2.9Se0.1material system indicate an enhanced thermoelectric figure-of-merit ZT in the range of 1.4–1.7 at room temperature.
