The tribe has spoken -- and apparently it wants to see more from Jeff Probst, director extraordinaire. (Groan, but still.)
Probst -- best known as the hat-wearing host of the long-running CBS reality series "Survivor" -- is ready to make his first film in eleven years with "Kiss Me." The indie drama focuses on a young girl (Sarah Bolger, "The Tudors") who wears a back brace for her scoliosis and must navigate relationships with her family, friends and the older man (John Corbett) she works for as a babysitter. (That should go well.)
This might seem like a totally random departure for Probst, but the Emmy winner has previous directing experience. He helmed the 2001 movie "Finder's Fee," which starred James Earl Jones, Matthew Lillard and an up-and-coming actor named Ryan Reynolds.
"Kiss Me" is set to begin filming in Los Angeles this February. Expect it to hit the festival circuit sometime next year.

Foreign lawyers to be charged £3,000 to gain English qualification
Readers' comments (21)
It is about time that foreign lawyers were not just waived through into the English legal profession. Most other countries have far more stringent requirements on overseas lawyers. Also, it never ceases to amaze how little English law foreign lawyers know even if they have been practising for some time here
That's one way of looking at it. Another would be to describe it as a bit of a protectionist racket. Scottish lawyers for example often choose to move to England to practice areas of law like Corporate, Tax or Employment which are identical in both jurisdictions. They (or their firms) will now have to pay an extra £2800 for them to cross qualify.
I totally agree with Nigel savage. I'm not sure that a monopoly for the QLTS is a good idea at all for the fees which are exorbitant for someone who is already qualified in his/her own country,
It's true that foreign lawyer generally don't know much of English law, but they get a basic knowledge of common law principles, English law basics, and can also advise someone regarding their own national background and experience.
Furthermore they often advice clients on international matters which necessitate European law or International law skills that they generally have.
I hope this would change because the fees are really prohibitive. I'm also convinced that the integration of foreign lawyers was also a key for English law influence and for the specific position of London in the competition between European capitals to be the first international legal hub in Europe.
Continues to amaze me how English lawyers practise as lawyers without law degrees!
Foreign lawyers don't need to have a detailed knowledge of English law to be effective in the UK.
Large firms and companies increasingly prefer foreign lawyers because they are after people who are efficient, capable of marshalling evidence and fluent in English as well as other languages.
In any event, the implication that all English-qualified lawyers have a detailed knowledge of English law is nonsense and simply another example of a misguided sense of superiority.
Amazing, isn't it! Especially the fact that on average they produce much better results than their foreign qualified counterparts and are so much more client orientated instead of getting lost in some academic discussion.
As to the price - In Germany it will cost you around EUR5000 pay for the tuition in order to do the transfer test (which cost hardly anything). and its almost impossible to pass without the tuition. So really the end result is the same.
Fortunately, for those of us already holding a QLTT linked Certificate of Eligibility from the SRA (fka the Law Society), we can continue sitting the QLTT (e.g., with BPP) until said Certificate expires. Such Certificate is valid for three years from its issue date but, as said, must have been applied for under the old regulations, i.e, QLTT as opposed to QLTS.
Reality is that someone finally woke up to the fact that a rising B&F star from Clifford & Overy in Budapest, rolling in (with every right and every welcome) to London to make that big London coin will barley wince at paying 4x the old price. Hec, he'd pay ten times the old price if he had to. Well, wouldn't you, if you were him?
If I were a cynic I'd be surprised that noone at "the regulator" thought of this "inevitable ... step change" years ago. But there were so many coming then, weren't there ..
In response to "Foreign lawyers don't need to have a detailed knowledge of English law to be effective in the UK.", this misses the point. Of course we foreign lawyers don't need English law at all to be effective in the UK. But we do need it to properly practice Engligh law.
If the spelling and grammar demonstrated by some of the previous contributors are anything to go by, some competency requirements in the English language prior to qualifying would not be a bad idea!
I am thankful to those that have already responded to some of the myopic views expressed here. To my friend who pointed out his amazement at the fact that there are English lawyers who practise law without law degrees, may I add that many practise law and even head departments in law firms without degrees at all.
There are many with less than 5 GCSE's who head teams in firms. Some are currently enrolled in ILEX programmes without having passed English at GCSE level. Those of us with dual jurisdiction qualification as well as English law firm experience cannot be deceived.
From my experience so far, the English language competency requirements suggested in the last post wouldn't be a bad idea for English candidates as well.
Hmm, the fact that Kaplan is effectively the monopoly provider raises a few novel legal points:
i. that the resulting dominance is abused through fees that are not fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory;
ii. that the high fee is a barrier to freedom of establishment as defined under the TFEU - it being noted that the relevance of Directive 98/5/EC is limited insofar as it requires a continuance presence of 3 years, whereas the QLTS grants instant access to the legal professional title(s) of England & Wales.
I love english but i am very glaid plz suggest me how i can improve me english
for foreign lawyers QLTS is harsh rules it must be changed.in everywhere in the world the basic and fundamental laws are like same and every lawyer in the world are well awear of it.if one lawyer is qulified in his own contry alow to partic then why he/she is not aloowed in uk?so harsh qlts
The actual cost is in fact of the QLTS is in fact GBP 4,730.00
Let me demonstrate:
Exams: GBP 3,230.00
Course: GBP 1,300.00
Certiicate of Eligibility: GBP 200.00
That comes to a lovely total of GBP 4,730.00
And you say, "Oh I don't need to do the course". But you do. You do, because this is a new exam and you have no idea what they are looking for and there are no "black market" course materials flying around.
Can I just say that, taking into account the prevailing exchange rate at the time, GBP4,730 was nearly my entire after-tax salary for an entire year in my first year as a Queensland Articled Clerk.
As a New Zealand qualified lawyer, and having just been through the QLTS scheme, my personal opinion is that it is nothing more than a very expensive protectionist racket which is run by a monopoly and a very bureaucratic and inefficient government agency called the SRA (it takes them 10 weeks to process the application for admission, and its near impossible to get them to answer the phone, or help you once they do - plus the fee).
The problem is the imposition of the QLTS assessments are compulsory for "non-EU lawyers" no matter what your previous background, education or experience. The QLTS is applied too broadly. To the SRA it doesn't seem to matter that there might be a difference between Polish law, Scottish law or German law, for example, which are very different from English law, - and New Zealand law, Canadian law and Australian law, which are about as close to English law (at least as far as the common law goes), as anywhere in the world.
There were a number of people in my classes who had over 5 years or more practicing experience, a Master's or PhD in the law from credible EU or UK universities. Many of us are working in large commercial law-firms, practicing in fields of international arbitration or other international level work, for example at EU Commission. In these roles English inheritence tax law, police powers of arrest etc) are entirely irrellevant. In many cases I work on, English law is not even applicable due to choice of law of the parties and they don't go to court here but to private tribunals. When English law is applicable, it is generally the common law of contract, Many issues in this field are novel and even partners don't know the answers. What's more, I doubt if many of the, particuarly senior partners I work with (who are excellent lawyers) could pass the "legal research" requirement in the QLTS because they inevitably get someone else to do this for them.
What's more, having practised as a barrister & solicitor in all levels of Courts of New Zealand for 4 years, arguing all manner of legal disputes for 100s of clients, taught me how to be a lawyer far better than any farcial test such as the QLTS or the LPC would ever do.
I admit there needs to be some criteria to assess those who are truely incompetent but there should be some level of screening before this expensive testing process is simply lumped on "non-EU" lawyers. My position may not be the norm, but my position is very common for antipodean lawyers who have immigrated here for work. Very few of us are working in the local community law centre and we wouldn't be hired for the jobs we are in unless these thought we were competent lawyers (and better than the next 100 people who have applied for the same job). Law-firms are now forced to consider whether it is worth fronting up with >£5,000 for a process that takes about 12 months to complete before deciding whether it is worth hiring an foreign lawyer. When competing for jobs, it's not a level playing field, but I guess that was the objective of the reforms.
I don't dispute the fact that foreign lawyers must be required to satisfy stringent requirements, i.e. qualify the QLTS assessments, in order to be able to practice law in the UK.
What I do take issue with is that the price a foreign lawyer has to pay is exorbitant. I would like to highlight that a foreign applicant is required to pay:
(a) an application fee to the SRA;
(b) an application fee at each level of assessment to Kaplan (there are 3 assessments); and
(c) fee to subscribe to institute's that offer books/study material (This is not required by the SRA. However, given that candidates are tested on 11 subjects, most applicants may subscribe to these.)
The cost of qualifying in the UK is between GBP 3000-4000.
I can live with being subject to the same standards as a UK lawyer in order to qualify but I'm appalled that no one has taken issue with the price that a foreign lawyer must pay in order to practice in the UK.
GBP 3000-4000 is a pretty big sum of money for someone to afford in the UK. Imagine the plight of applicants from jurisdictions with a much weaker currency.
I am a prospective QLTS applicant and can very much afford it. However, I know that the price one must pay to qualify highly jeopardizes the chances of bright young lawyers in many other jurisdictions to qualify in the UK.
Its just sad!
I wish I had the ability to change things. Unfortunately, my only option is to express my views and that too, rather late (this article is dated September 28, 2010).
I note that although there is only a single approved examiner, there are NO approved training providers for the QLTS.
Thus opening the door for every charlatan...
...though oddly, neither the CoL or BPP seem to yet be offering training ?
Perhaps they are not expecting this replacement scheme to last for very long...
Its not fare to pay the high fee for nothing. where university provide full tutions ,materials, conduct exam and they charge much less comparing to kaplan. kaplan should not take advantage and there shold be some one to compete them. or foreign lawyer dont need kaplan they are more capable to sit and pass the exam. they should kick out.
Kaplan law school need to advert their minds to the fact that they are foreign lawyers who actually trained in England but returned to their country to be admitted to their Native Bar. Such a lawyer could not be classified as "knowing little or nothing" about English law from where they got their LLB, LLM etc. what should be done is to allow them sit for the Bar exams with English lawyers and they could be- surprise !surprise!!
im a pakistani lawyer nd wana start prctise in england .how can i start law practise in england.

2013 Grammy nominations concert: Best and worst moments
Fun. Plus One
Having been nominated in every category so far, men of the moment Fun. and their rampant full stop grabbed the mic to perform their summer chart topper 'We Are Young,' as made famous by countless car commercials. The New York trio were joined on stage by the imitable Janelle Monae who chanted her one sentence solo -- 'Just carry me home tonight' -- over and over again. We feel she could have been put to better use in this song rather than appearing as the fourth wheel on an already stable trike.

what should i do??
i know that im over weight and need to cut down i stop eating junk food and balance my food but i just hate i cant stand working out i just hate it especially walking what should i do
Submitted by
My best advice is to keep searching. The fitness industry is great about coming up with lots of ways to make exercise fun. Check out some group ex classes at a gym near you. Rent some exercise dvds from a video store/library, etc. Enlist the support of a friend to workout with you -- everything is made better by company! :) Finally instead of saying to yourself "I hate this" while exercising, think about the positives. What are you getting from exercise? A healthy body? Leaner legs, etc?

Lady Gaga had an unusual Thanksgiving, to say the least: she visited with abuse victims, and then discovered a bunch of fans camping out in her garage.
In Peru with her Born This Way Ball tour, Gaga began the holiday by spending time at a shelter in Lima, visiting with Peruvian girls who'd been sexually abused, according to Fox News Latino . During her visit to the Infant Jesus of Prague home, which provides shelter for 45 girls ages two to 13, Gaga shared a snack with the kids and even performed a few songs for them. Then, things got weird.
On Twitter, Gaga said that her family had joined her in Peru for Thanksgiving, but revealed that on Thanksgiving night, she discovered 35 fans had broken into the garage of the property where they were staying. She wrote on Twitter , "#MONSTERFACT When Gaga is asleep, try to break into the garage, sing loud as possible + ring the doorbell repeatedly," and added the hashtags "#happeningnow" and "#badkids."
She then continued , "Thanksgiving story: woke up for leftovers in kitchen (naked) -- stumbled on security camera revealing 35 monsters in my garage. #why #iloveu." She joked about wanting to "slide stuffing under the door" for the fans, but added, "There's no cat-flap."
As for what Gaga was thankful for this year, she tweeted to her fans, "I'm thankful for all of you, the messages of positivity u send me everyday lift me & make me stronger."

The greatest tennis players in the world wrapped up their season at the U.S. Open this weekend. But in the metro area, there is a tennis legend of our own to brag about.Rumor has it Winnell Smith is a legend at Rockdale Tennis Center. Some say Smith, 90, can still run circles around her competitors, especially the so-called "Barbies.""We play Barbies. She just about kills them because they hate the lobs and Winnell is a lobber," said tennis player Alethea Rogers.Smith picked up a racquet for the first time at age 62."I said when I retire I was going to learn to play tennis and play the piano. I never mastered the piano," said Smith.At 80, Smith was ranked in the state. She's still traveling the country with the her a dance group. Her biggest competitor on the court is herself."It's important for her that she's playing a good game. She gets frustrated with herself if she doesn't think she's doing that," said tennis player Anita Carwile. Smith is the epitome of resilience. When her husband of nearly 70 years died a few years ago, she found a new love. His name is Buddy. Family and friends say age is not what amazes them about Smith, it's trying to keeping up with her."She's not slowing down anytime soon. I just hope to be playing golf at 70," said Smith's grandson, David Stephens.
"Now we've told her she can renew her contract until 100, so we're gonna start working on that," said a fellow tennis player.Smith says the secret to her spunkiness at 90 is that she stays busy, she travels, gets lot of rest, eats properly and she trusts in the Lord.

Helping employees who become severely depressed
Great article by Bob Grove, Helen Lockett and Jan Hutchinson around mental health in the work place and the impact for business if they choose to do nothing. It suggests the costs to employers are just under $2000 (NZ) per employee, per year, if you don't do anything so can you afford to ignore it?

Hall, room 019Shippensburg
First-Year Student Testing Requirements
Computerized Placement Testing Shippensburg University offers computerized placement testing in math via ACCUPLACER, a test created by the College Board. We conduct computerized testing on numerous occasions during the late winter and spring. No special computer skills are necessary to take these tests. If you feel uncomfortable with computerized testing, a computer tutorial is available via http://www.collegeboard.org/
Test PreparationStudents taking the math placement test are strongly encouraged to review appropriate materials prior to testing.
Helpful Hint: Students who review tend to do well on the placement tests. Even five hours of review can have a positive impact. We offer a variety of resources to aide in review, so please take advantage!
Students with a math SAT of 535 to 605 may elect to take the math test. Please see the optional placement testing page for full details.
Transfer students without a college level math course may be required to complete placement testing in the respective area(s).
Your test results will
determine your eligibility to enroll in college-level math courses. Test scores
can fall within 6 levels. Students who test in the developmental range (level 1
or 2) may be required to take a developmental course before they can take a
college level math course. All Level 1
students are required to take MAT 050: Developmental Math. Level 2 students in
certain mathematics intensive majors will also be required to complete MAT050.
This class does not count toward graduation. Students who test at Level 3 or
higher may begin taking college level mathematics courses as directed by their
major departments.The test consists of a variety of items ranging from solving problems in context to algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. The majority of test items include content normally encountered by students in the typical high school college-preparatory mathematics curriculum. We strongly recommend that you review the following information to prepare yourself for the test (Practice questions and algebra prep website are available via the FAQ page): Please do not expect your knowledge of Algebra to simply return. Poor performance on this test can put you significantly behind.
Elementary Algebra includes:
Operations with integers and rational numbers including computation with integers and negative rationals, use of absolute values, and ordering.
Operations with algebraic expressions which test your skills in the evaluation of simple formulas and expressions and in adding and subtracting monomials and polynomials. Both of these categories include questions about multiplying and dividing monomials and polynomials, the evaluation of positive rational roots and exponents, simplifying algebraic fractions, and factoring.
Equation solving, inequalities, and word problems include solving systems of linear equations, the solution of quadratic equations by factoring, solving verbal problems presented in algebraic context, geometric reasoning, the translation of phrases into algebraic expressions, and graphing.
College-Level Mathematics includes:
Simplifying rational algebraic expressions, factoring and expanding polynomials, and manipulating roots and exponents.
Solutions of equations and inequalities include solving quadratic and linear equations and inequalities, equation systems, and other algebraic equations.
Coordinate geometry includes questions about plane geometry, the coordinate plane, straight lines, conics, sets of points in the plane, and graphs of algebraic functions.
Applications and other algebra topics include questions about complex numbers in a series and sequences, determinants, permutations and combinations, fractions, and word problems.
Functions & trigonometry concern polynomial, algebraic, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions.

The GranTurismo S Automatic has turned out to be Maserati 's most sold model on the British market and, as a thanks to their customers, the automaker is now offering a new Sport Pack as a bonus. The new add-on further enhances the GranTurismo S Automatic so that it delivers a performance oriented experience, but don't expect that experience for free; the new package is priced at £3,840, or about $6,240 at the current exchange rates.
The most important feature of the new Sport Pack is a revised exhaust system which keeps its bypass valves fully open in Sport mode to provide an even richer sound. Next to this, the package also includes body colored side skirts and front winglets, a stylish black grille featuring the Maserati Trident logo with red accents, black mesh side grilles, black look headlights, an integrated rear boot lid spoiler, and oval exhaust pipes. Grigio Mercury Neptune-design alloy wheels finish off the Maserati's sportier look.
Other than that, the GranTurismo S Automatic's specifications remain unchanged. Look for the usual 4.7-liter V8 engine that delivers a total of 440 HP and a peak torque of 361 lbs-ft at 4750 rpm to get the vehicle from 0 to 60 mph in 5 seconds flat. Top speed remains at 183 mph.

Are you sitting on the fence?When election day comes and you have something more interesting to do than going to vote, you just gave up your right to complain for the next four years. Not voting is not a way to complain about the system. Democracy is not perfect, but it is the best we've got, and not being bothered to vote just puts the power firmly in the hands of those who can be bothered.It doesn't matter which way you vote, it's all the same in the end! This is just not true. The fact that you work only eight hours a day, and not sixteen, is a result of action by those who cared having a direct effect on a democratic process. The fact that you have a national health service which serves all citizens equally is another example of normal people pushing for what they want. This is the key - what they want - that is what democracy is all about.My family come from an industrial town in the Midlands of England. When my father was young all power came from raw coal. Every house had at least two fireplaces burning coal. Every factory used coal for power and heating. All electricity was created by burning coal. The city was very very dirty, and very very unhealthy. People died by the thousands from lung deseases. But coal was money, and only by the efforts of thousands of worried citizens was change brought about and smokeless fuel brought in to use.So is everything perfect now? Have we nothing left to complain about?It is the duty of every citizen with the right to vote to make that short journey to the polling station on election day; you can always return an empty ballot if you really can't decide - but having got that far why not vote for someone who you think is most likely to support your needs?If you really don't think that your vote matters, then you don't really believe in democracy. Perhaps you'd prefer a medieval lord in command - I'm sure he'd keep your needs very close to his heart.

No shortage of empty seats on Sunday, as James Faulkner bats for the Aussies.
On Sunday in Perth, a little more than 11,000 fans witnessed a slightly saddening spectacle, in which a once great entertainer went through the motions, desperately trying to please and excite a crowd despite the looming spectre of its irrelevance.
Basketball fans can relax. I'm not referring to the legends match before the Perth Wildcats game, especially not after discovering James Crawford could still throw down a trademark two-handed jam.
Instead that first paragraph (written in so wanky a manner that I almost feel compelled to apologise for it) describes the second one-day international between Australia and the West Indies.
Barely 11,200 spectators turned out to see a relatively entertaining match in which the Aussies beat the Windies by 54 runs. Across town, 11,500 filed into the Perth Arena to see the Wildcats beat the Wollongong Hawks.
You can throw up all kinds of mini-explanations for this discrepancy - the Wildcats' enduring popularity, the presence of Eric Watterson on a basketball court again, the air-conditioned nature of the Arena on a hot day, the Windies' seemingly never-ending decline - but nothing speaks more to the growing irrelevance of international 50-over cricket than being outdrawn by a National Basketball League regular season fixture.
To be fair, this isn't one of those problems that anyone is pretending doesn't exist (well, maybe Cricket Australia for obvious PR reasons). But that doesn't make things any less sad.
Eleven summers ago, a total of 14,853 fans attended a one-dayer at the WACA - between New Zealand and South Africa. On Sunday, with the home country playing, the crowd didn't get within the population of Dunsborough of that figure.
Eight years ago I endured an eight-hour train ride from Kalgoorlie to Perth to sit in the outer and see Australia play Pakistan in an ODI.
On Sunday I happily rode half an hour in a cab from my house to the WACA, mainly because my employer paid for it and because, let's be honest here, a day spent covering any form of cricket in an air-conditioned press box still beats doing real work.
The most obvious difference between then and now, naturally, is the onset of Twenty20 cricket. And one of the problems for one-dayers, which I reckon jumped the shark when South Africa chased down 434 against Australia in 2006, is that they cram about as many "wow" moments in an entire afternoon of stifling heat as T20 games do in a couple of pleasantly cool hours in the evening.
My list of highlights from Sunday: three screaming West Indian catches, George Bailey going berko in the last two overs of the Aussie innings, Mitchell Starc ripping through the Windies top order and getting on a (dodgy) hat-trick, Kieran Powell hitting four boundaries in one James Faulkner over, Mitchell Johnson striking Darren Sammy right where it hurts most (and Sammy's bizarre fist-pumping reaction) and Sunil Narine treating Glenn Maxwell like a million-dollar pie chucker.
Maybe you wouldn't be guaranteed that many highlights in a Twenty20 game.
But neither would you have the lengthy periods of batsmen pushing and prodding dreary ones and twos, in which the the most interesting thing to do is ponder what the hell they're on over at the IPL auction (Maxwell goes for $1 million, Kane Richardson fetches $700k and nobody takes Ben Rohrer. Please explain...).
It's classic middle child syndrome really. Never as serious or respectable as its older brother (Tests), the ODI now also finds itself usurped for cheekiness and novelty value by its youngest sibling.
A decade ago, if Australia had been bowled out for 74 in a one-dayer by Sri Lanka (as it was in mid-January), there would have been a national inquiry. Twenty years ago, if the West Indies had been sent packing for 70 (as they were on Friday) there would have been a national celebration.
Instead we mostly shrugged our shoulders.
The public, very obviously, are already voting with their wallets and feet (speaking of middle children, imagine trying to keep three kids occupied, fed, hydrated and happy for the eight hours of an ODI).
It's hard not to think players are doing the same and investing far more of themselves - emotionally, physically and financially - in the T20 format. Can you really walk out on an ODI field and live entirely in the moment when you know IPL franchises half a world away are squabbling (or even worse, not squabbling) over your services?
One-day cricket will inevitably remain with us for the next few years. Not because it's the middle child and we are duty bound to love it and nurture it, but because a World Cup cash cow is headed to Australia in 2015.
England visits us next summer. It's a no-brainer to think the Poms will be able to pull a better crowd to the WACA but the question has to be asked whether the majority of cricket fans will care much more than they did on the weekend.
Probably not.
And when you watch the old World Series Classics on FoxSports and see what ODI cricket used to be, that's definitely a bit sad.
One-day crowds at the WACA

The heat-treated ball is chrome plated and the heat-treated, chromoly steel body is coated for corrosion resistance. Add in a self-sealing liner and a self-lubricating liner that won't pound out, and you can see why the QA1 X Series is the choice for many racers.

During a Press Association interview in the fall promoting the 3D concert film Through the Never , Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich mentioned that time was running out for him to make fun of his over-50 band mates.
The joking officially stops today as Ulrich reaches the big five-oh mark himself.
In that same interview, Ulrich seemed quite comfortable leaving his 40s behind.
"I'm quite happy growing older, and with the experiences and with everything else that comes along with it, I'm fine," he said. "Fifty doesn't scare me. Bring it on."
Metallica's 50-and-older club also includes guitarist Kirk Hammett , who celebrated his 50th in 2012, and frontman James Hetfield , who reached that milestone in August. Bassist Rob Trujillo will turn 50 next October.
Prior to that, the band will hit Europe for its Metallica by Request tour. Here is the full list of dates:
5/28 -- Helsinki, Finland, Beach Sonisphere

What Comparing it to DashboardX? Etc....
Also if your basing your review on a description and quick use that's not much if a review as anyone who downloads the tweak will do that?? As I've said abit if research would go a long way.
There is way more options that weather. I agree there is a lot of Weather widgets but we are all trying to come Up with more options and all ideas are welcome.
I can honestly say there is some amazingly talented guy and girls hang out at this thread
Retina GPS Weather iWidget
Anthony - I'm a fan but Bud, this was a bad review. Try looking in the theme section of the forum from time to time. That section is what makes MMi so good.
I so wish we could all post some screen shots.
Well we will have to leave that bit upto Durben
I suggest you investigate this exciting tweak a little more a revise your review. 3.5 out of 5 is incorrect.
If you are new to iwidgets, get onto the thread and check it out for yourself.
Anthony I know you do not have time to thoroughly examine all the cydia tweaks, but this time you can not be more wrong.
Dashboard X is not even close Eldvin's iWidget.
I suppose that's your rating made on the basis of two widget that comes with the iWidget as an example
So please, when you have some free time, go to the iWidget thread and see at least the last 15 pages.
You can start from -->> http://modmyi.com/forums/iphone-4-ne...ml#post6674423
You might change a opinion and then edit review and give another rating.
I have to agree with everyone that you have NO idea how cool this widget is, and apologies don't really mean anything, because how many people read the comments? Instead of apologizing for having a such a misleading article, you could rewrite it after you've tried many of Durben's iwidigets or Chevy's or the Drifters, they all made seriously awesome iwidgets that can virtually do ANYTHING and unlike SB/LS widgets, a LOT of these are full customizable with font color font size font position language what you want displayed and what you don't. The new one I put out, is compatible with many different themes as well as analog or digital clock and different font colors and languages, as customizable before it even displays. How many SB "widgets" do you know actually do that?
This is a great tweak that certainly does not deserve this review.....
To anyone who has not looked at this tweak and it's thread.I strongly suggest you check it out the tweak and the widgets that all the great people have made, they are beyond cool.If your into themeing than ya gotta check it out.And I didn't allways agree with Siskel & Ebert either,check it out then decide for youself.I know you will be totally happy.
i'll just +1 on all the posts saying this review doesn't hold water.
I found the review helpful, in the fact it let me know the tweak was now available without unpacking the deb file manually (even if that was all the review was helpful for). I have been wanting to try this for a while now, and as soon as I saw this, I DLd it and put to use some of the widgets I'd collected, knowing it one day use them. Great tweak...5 stars. Thank you.
Would love to post more screens but I delete most mine from phone.
Here's a round touch one. Shows user pic, tap it you see weather.
The one in my screen a few people have. It has a bunch more options, different frames ect.
I'll put it up eventually. Not really pumping out weather mods at the moment until I'm certain what yahoo is doing.

This Restaurant's 3-Step Program
Gerelyn is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
To the extent that same-store sales growth impacts market value, shares of The Wendy's Company (NASDAQ: WEN) have upside potential. The company is predicting a 2%-3% jump in its 2013 same-store sales in 2013. According to statements at a recent investment conference, Wendy's executives are also projecting a 0.5%-1% increase in industry traffic this year -- with an emphasis at the lower end of that range -- at the expense of casual dining restaurants.
Perhaps Wendy's plans to take some of Chipotle Mexican Grill's (NYSE: CMG) diners in light of its rival's plans to raise the prices on its menu items this year amid commodity price inflation, according to a recent Wall Street Journal article. Wendy's faced the commodity inflation too, but still managed to grow its 4Q profit margins from 15% to 15.9% compared to the same quarter a year ago.
Chipotle, however, is expected to post 4Q same-store sales that are 4.8% better than the year ago period. If Chipotle raises its prices its same store sales performance could be in jeopardy, as customers already pay an average of almost $10 for each meal, according to WSJ.
Everything at Stake
Wendy's optimistic outlook needs to materialize for the company to shake off the same-store sales doldrums that plagued the restaurant recently. In the fourth quarter, North American same-store sales at company-owned restaurants declined by 0.2% despite the fact that full-year same store sales advanced 1.6%.
Over the next few years, Wendy's growth plans are essentially limited to domestic expansion, which is probably a good idea until some of its recent capex spending pays off. The company is in the midst of a re-branding effort that involves everything from the restaurant logo to the appearance of the restaurant grounds and worker uniforms.
In 2012, Wendy's had an EBITDA of $333.3 million, which represents a 2% increase over 2011 levels. In 4Q alone, EBITDA was up 19% over the year ago quarter. Over the next three years, Wendy's has a 3-point plan that it expects will bolster its EBITDA further. These areas represent where Wendy's is going to focus its efforts through 2016. The steps include: 1.) attaining 3% North American same-store restaurant sales growth, 2.) a continuation of an image activation effort, and 3.) new restaurant development.
Same-store sales
To grow its same-store sales activity, Wendy's is relying on another multi-point plan. It involves a focus on product innovation -- one that builds upon its recently featured bacon portabella melt burger and chicken mozzarella supreme sandwiches. Wendy's will also ramp up its spending on marketing and media efforts, which includes an attempt to capture more of the Hispanic clientèle -- a demographic where company executives say the company has been weak. Wendy's is also continuing its formal 'Image Activation' roll-out, in which many of its company-owned and franchise restaurants are receiving an aesthetic face-lift.
Image Activation
Wendy's image activation has been ongoing. The fast-food restaurant is already in the midst of a brand re-imaging campaign, dubbed "A Cut Above,' and image activation is part-and-parcel to the brand overhaul. Combined, the efforts include the roll-out of the new Wendy's logo, upgrades to the interior and exterior of restaurants, new food item packaging, and the introduction of new menu boards.
Incidentally, Wendy's is not the only fast-food chain to revise its packaging. Rival McDonald's (NYSE: MCD), which reports its 4Q earnings on Jan. 23, is in the process of rolling out its new package design that includes QR coding. This is McDonald's attempt to play in the mobile device market as the QR-coded packaging discloses the nutritional statistics for menu items on mobile phones. Wendy's also has a mobile-phone application for calorie counting that is in beta stages, according to Fox Business.
In 2013, Wendy's intends to open 120-to-130 new stores globally. The company expects that 200 of its stores will adopt the 'Image Activation' transformation, and soon the higher standard will be a requirement for all new franchisee restaurant locations. The changes have been paying off as sales at 66 Image Activation restaurant locations increased 25% in 2012 compared with pre-image activation sales results.
In terms of its marketing efforts, Wendy's executives said at last week's ICR XChange conference that they will spend "more money" in 2013 on advertising. Executives hope to strike a better balance between its premium and value menu items in 2013. This focus is a direct result of slipping market share in the price-value segment over the past 15 months in particular.
Shares of Wendy's are up 8.5 % in the first three weeks of 2013. The company's stock was pressured in 2012, but shareholders went out on a positive note when the company's doubled its quarterly dividend payout to $0.04 per share. In September 2012, McDonald's increased its quarterly dividend by 10%.
This year could be pivotal for Wendy's, as the company has so much riding on its transformation efforts. The company is slashing costs in areas that were not profitable enough, such as breakfast in many restaurants, and has a clear-cut plan to improve earnings and sales. If the company manages to double its same-stores sales growth in 2013 -- as Wendy's executives are preparing to do -- the stock should see some upside before the year is over.

Fluvanna County teens are driving a little safer tonight after a quick course in car maintenance.
Palmyra Automotive hosted the workshop Saturday.
The teens learned how to refill a car's fluids, change a tire, and what to keep in the glove box in case of emergency.
Taylor Walters, a sophomore at Christopher Newport University, and her sister Leslie, a new driver, organized the event to keep teens safe on the roads.
"It was something I thought that community members could get something out of and girls my age - a lot of the times - don't know what to do with their cars, so something like this can help them be a little bit more independent whether it's just driving to the high school like Leslie will be, or driving all the way down to Newport News like I will be," Walters said.
Walters collected donations at the event for Students Against Destructive Decisions - which works to prevent teens from texting, drinking and being distracted while driving.

Date Reviewed: July 25, 2007
Strengths: Excellent frame (Norco uses the frame all the way up to the Fireball, very beefy and strong, not too heavy). Strong(if heavy) components, generally indestructible (especially the bombproof wheelset). Surpisingly good brakes for a low-end set of mechanical discs. Kenda Komodo tires are good in most conditions (they don't like mud or serious off-camber trails).
Weaknesses: Weight. 2006 version is heavy at ~32lbs, unlike the lighter & older versions. Doesn't climb all that well due to weight and the relaxed cockpit setup. Wheels may be bombproof but you pay a serious weight penalty for that. Hayes brakelevers are chintzy and floppy. Pedals are only good to get you home (get a real set of platforms or clipless ASAP).
Bottom Line:
Note the '07 gets a lower-end drivetrain but better(hydro) brakes.

Just finish watching tons of your videos,and love all the information. However, I'm always asked to shoot weddings and a little nervous. What all equipment i need for the event and what moments are the most to capture and when? also a lot talk is Nikon I have a Canon is that fine and the constant battle should I go Nikon?
I'm shooting raw on a D700 - does any of the following have an effect on a raw file? 1)Active D Lighting 2) High ISO noise reduction 3) Vignette control 4) Long exposure Noise reduction. I have all these switched off at the moment as my 24-70 nikon produces smashing shots. I've read the manual many times but can't find a definitive answer?
