Victory for Apple as U.S. judge bans Samsung's iPad rival from sale in America
- Galaxy tab 10.1 banned from sale for patent infringment
- Bitter blow for Apple's closest rival in tablet market
Samsung's rival to iPad has been banned from sale in America, after a judge handed Apple a victory in the two companies' long-running patent battle.
The ruling is a major blow for Samsung, whose Galaxy Tab tablets are the main rival to iPad.
The injunction prevents the Galaxy Tab 10.1 being sold in America - and is a bitter blow to Samsung, whose tablets have been gaining ground on Apple's.

The two companies have been locked in a battle over several continents over Samsung's Galaxy tablets and smartphones.
Apple has waged an international patent war since 2010 as it seeks to limit the growth of Google's Android system, the world's best-selling mobile operating platform.
Google is also preparing its own tablet offering, and Microsoft recently unveiled its own Surface tablet.
U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh in San Jose, California, had previously denied Apple's bid for an injunction on the tablet and multiple Galaxy smartphones.
However, a federal appeals court instructed Koh to reconsider Apple's request on the tablet.
'Although Samsung has a right to compete, it does not have a right to compete unfairly, by flooding the market with infringing products,' Koh wrote on Tuesday, adding the order should become effective once Apple posts a $2.6 million bond to protect against damages suffered by Samsung if the injunction is later found to have been wrong.
Apple sold 13.6 million iPads in
January-March to control 63 percent of the global tablet market,
according to research firm Display Search.
Samsung sold 1.6 million tablets, giving it 7.5 percent of the market.
A decisive injunction in one of the U.S. legal cases could strengthen Apple's hand in negotiating cross-licensing deals, where firms agree to let each other use their patented technologies.
Opponents of Apple say the iPhone and iPad maker is using patents too aggressively in its bid to stamp out competition.
SPOT THE DIFFERENCE? APPLE'S iPAD VERSUS SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB 10.1
The patent battle between Apple and Samsung has raged across several continents, and includes smartphones as well as tablets.
But the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is the most obviously similar to competing Apple devices.
The screen is slightly larger - 10.1 inches to iPad's 9.7 - but the black bezel, thin form factor and button layout are all very familiar.
Samsung's machine lags behind the Retina screen of the latest iPad, but otherwise matches Apple's machine technology for technology.
The setback is unlikely to unsettle Samsung too much, though - it offers several sizes of Galaxy Tab tablet, including the surprise hit Galaxy Note, and only one has been affected by this injunction.
'The relief being given to Apple here is extraordinary. Preliminary injunctions are rarely asked for and rarely granted,' said Colleen Chien, a professor at Santa Clara Law in Silicon Valley.
'That this was a design patent and copying was alleged distinguish this case from plain vanilla utility patent cases. Cases involving these kinds of patents are based more on a counterfeiting theory than a competition theory, so I don't expect this case to have ramifications for all smartphone disputes, but rather those involving design patents and the kind of product resemblance we had here.'
The injunction against Samsung comes less than a week after Apple suffered a serious setback when a federal judge in Chicago dismissed its patent claims against Google's Motorola Mobility unit.
Judge Richard Posner ruled that an injunction barring the sale of Motorola smartphones would harm consumers.
Samsung will likely seek to appeal Koh's ruling to a federal appeals court in Washington, DC, which has exclusive jurisdiction over intellectual property disputes.
'Apple sought a preliminary injunction of Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1, based on a single design patent that addressed just one aspect of the product's overall design,' Samsung said in a statement.
'Should Apple continue to make legal claims based on such a generic design patent, design innovation and progress in the industry could be restricted.'
The South Korean firm said it would take necessary legal steps, and did not expect the ruling to have a significant impact on its business, as it has a broad range of products. It brought out three tablet models last year alone.
Apple spokeswoman Kristin Huguet reiterated a prior statement from the company, saying Samsung's 'blatant copying' is wrong.

Bain, who starred opposite the young Gary Coleman on the NBC
sitcom as his adoptive father, Philip Drummond, died of
natural causes at a comfort-care facility in Livermore,
California, east of San Francisco, on Monday (local time). He
was three weeks shy of his 90th birthday, according to his
daughter, Jennifer.
Born in Alberta, Bain served in the Canadian Army during
World War Two, became a U.S. citizen in 1946 and went on to a
career as an actor on Broadway and television. He often
played erudite, professional characters such as lawyers,
executives, politicians or doctors.
Following a recurring role on the daytime vampire drama "Dark
Shadows" as an innkeeper, Bain broke into prime-time comedy
with a supporting role on Norman Lear's "All in the Family"
spin-off "Maude," which starred Bea Arthur in the title role.
On "Maude," Bain played a conservative physician and
next-door neighbour, Dr. Arthur Harmon, who was frequently at
political odds with the outspokenly liberal Maude but was
best friends with Maude's husband, Walter.
At the end of that show's six-year CBS run in 1978, Bain
landed his own sitcom, "Diff'rent Strokes," in which he
played Drummond, a rich, widowed industrialist who takes in
the two young sons of his housekeeper after she dies,
creating a racially mixed family in an era when depictions of
such households were rare on TV.
Joining Drummond's 13-year-old daughter, Kimberly, and a
ditzy new housekeeper, Mrs. Garrett, the two boys, precocious
8-year-old Arnold, played by Coleman, and his quieter
12-year-old brother, Willis, find themselves in the lap of
luxury as they adjust to a new life on Park Avenue.
The show ran for eight seasons, 1978-1986, on NBC, and went
into wide re-run syndication around the world. Coleman's
oft-repeated line to his brother, "What you talkin' 'bout,
Willis?" became a pop culture catchphrase.
Coleman, who grappled with a series of financial, legal and
domestic woes later in life, died in May 2010 at age 42 after
suffering a brain haemorrhage.
Bain returned periodically to the stage during the show's
network run and reprised the Philip Drummond role on a 1996
episode of "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," which starred Will
Smith as a young rapper from a tough Philadelphia
neighbourhood who ends up living with wealthy relatives in
Bain also briefly co-starred on prime-time TV in the 1987-88
season in the Fox network political comedy "Mr. President,"
as the loyal chief of staff to the title character, played by
George C. Scott.
Bain is survived by his daughter and two sons, Mark and Kent.

Forget Condos; It's Chinatown

An old Chinatown building is being overhauled and prettied up, and — shockingly in today's New York — it's not for a condo conversion. The Oversea Chinese Mission, a 44-year-old evangelical outfit with fellowships and libraries and an aging membership, now has luxury condos on either side of its nine-story headquarters at Hester and Mott. But it announced a renovation last week that calls for reworking the building as a beacon to potential new members. "Right now you cannot see into the building," Nancy Ruddy, a partner in local architecture firm Cetra/Ruddy, told us this morning. The firm has designed a two-story façade of glass, metal, and stained glass to lure locals, from late-shift waiters to early risers.
"They're planning museums, libraries, even a café to bring people into the church and create a 24/7 vertical community," Ruddy says. "They have bookstores with things in Mandarin and Cantonese you can't get anywhere else in New York." A cruciform icon on the roof will make the building's purpose unmistakable, but, even so, drunken hipsters searching for dumplings or cocktails will presumably be welcome, too.

Hi, I'm looking for a way to generate a widget for an external website that would display my choice of recent posts from my blog. Something like http://www.widgetbox.com but with more freedom to customise it. Not just that I could change the appearance, but also so that I could specify whether it showed latest posts or posts from a specific blog category.
The website is http://www.acara.ie and the blog is http://www.acara.ie/blog
Is there a plug-in/widget that exists that would do this for me?
Thanks for any help :)

It's too bad this has to be a state issue. I think there are definitely things that should be handled by the state, and by the federal government. Unfortunatly the feds seem to be getting too much into state issues. However, protecting our borders is definitely a federal issue that they are neglecting.
I have always wondered. People complain about how much it would cost to enforce some of these laws, build fences, etc. But I wonder how that cost would balance against the savings in public assistance, medical care illegals get for free (and we all pay for), etc. I think we would come out on the plus side in the long run.

From Ashes (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
Aside from her dad, who passed away when she was six, Cassidy Jameson has only ever trusted one man: her best friend, Tyler. So of course she follows him to Texas when he leaves for college. She just didn't expect to be so drawn to their new roommate, Gage, a gorgeous guy with a husky Southern drawl. The only problem? He's Tyler's cousin.
Gage Carson was excited to share an apartment off campus with his cousin. He didn't mind that Tyler was bringing the mysterious friend he'd heard about since they were kids . . . until the most beautiful girl he's ever seen jumps out of his cousin's Jeep. There's something about Cassi that makes Gage want to give her everything. Too bad Tyler has warned him that she's strictly off-limits.
Despite everything keeping them apart, Cassi and Gage dance dangerously close to the touch they've both been craving. But when disaster sends her running into Tyler's arms, Cassi will have to decide whether to face the demons of herpast . . . or to burn her chance at a future with Gage.

Perhaps best of all, the confluence of fresh northern air and dewy banks creates the perfect climate for winemaking. As a result, the area is home to more than 100 wineries and has come to produce some of the best varietals in the nation. While you're sipping one for yourself, drink in the natural charm of these quaint waterfront towns for a truly idyllic experience.

Wind turbines, solar panels and other renewable energy sources may have a clean, green appeal, but their size, complicated set-up and aesthetics seem destined to keep them out of the hands of individual homeowners. Slowly, such perceptions are changing as home improvement retailers begin stocking do-it-yourself kits for eco-friendly tinkerers. In December, 21 Lowe's Energy Center stores in California started selling the first-ever solar panels that customers could buy — at $893 per panel — ...

I have several devices that charge by USB, that I'd like to keep charged at all times.
I've used my laptop in the past, put it in the lowest possible power setting, but it still gets hot, and is using more power than necessary and only lasts 2 hours.
Is there a device that can be used to charge USB gadgets, that is essentially a large battery with USB connections?
I'm not looking for a hub that requires a connection to a computer, I want a standalone charging device that has a large enough battery to charge multiple devices.
Ideally something with a car voltage adapter for charging itself would be optimal.
Would keep it in my backpack/suitcase and devices plugged in until I need them would be optimal usage.

If it reaches such a hefty price in the one-lot sale, the
one-inch by one-and-a-quarter-inches stamp (2.5 cm by 3.2 cm)
printed in black on magenta paper will be the most valuable
object by weight and size, according to the auction house.
"It has always been the world's most famous stamp. It is one
of these objects around which a huge mystique has grown up
over the years," said David Redden, the worldwide chairman of
books and manuscripts at Sotheby's.
"It has a good story. It was discovered by a 12-year-old
schoolboy," he added in an interview. "It's unique and is the
only stamp of its kind that has survived."
The record auction price for a single stamp is 2.87 million
Swiss francs (about $US2.2 million). It was set in 1996 for
the Treskilling Yellow. The Swedish stamp is a misprint of an
1855 shilling stamp in the wrong color.
The British Guiana stamp is being sold by the estate of the
late multimillionaire John du Pont, an heir to the du Pont
chemical fortune who died in prison in 2010 at the age of 72.
Du Pont was serving a murder sentence for the shooting of
David Schultz, a champion U.S. wrestler, in 1996.
Earlier this year, the Royal Philatelic Society of London
re-authenticated the stamp, which avid stamp collector du
Pont purchased in 1980 for $US935,000. The stamp's
authenticity was previously verified in 1935.
The British Guiana One-Cent Magenta is one of the first
stamps in the world. In 1856 in British Guiana, now called
the Republic of Guyana, the local postmaster asked a
newspaper to print some stamps after supplies from Britain,
where its stamps were printed, were delayed.
There are still a few four-cent stamps issued by the South
American country, but this is the only one-cent. Until this
year the stamp had not been on public view since 1987,
according to Sotheby's.
The stamp was discovered in 1873 by a 12-year-old schoolboy
named L. Vernon Vaughan, who was living in British Guiana
with his family. He found it among his family papers.
He kept it in his collection and later sold it to another
collector in British Guiana. It surfaced in Britain in 1878
and was then purchased by Count Philippe la Renotiere von
Ferrary, a noted stamp collector.
The count's collection was donated to the postal museum in
Berlin and was later seized by France as war reparation from
Germany and sold in 1922.
It was sold several times before du Pont purchased it. Part
of the proceeds of the sale will go to the Eurasian Pacific
Wildlife Conservation Foundation, which DuPont supported.

Gentle Giant: 2013 Premier Guild Membership Details
Posted by
February 26, 2013
at 10:22 PM CST
Gentle Giant Ltd. has just announced their 2013 Premier Guild Member gift options. This year, collectors can choose from a brand new Mace Windu Mini Bust, a Darth Vader Holographic Mini Bust or a 12" Jumbo Vintage Kenner Boba Fett "First Shot" figure. Memberships will go on sale Monday, March 4th.
From Gentle Giant:
Mace Windu
Master Mace Windu was a member of the Jedi High Council before Order 66 and the Great Jedi Purge. During the Clone Wars, Master Windu served as High Jedi General of the Republic, overseeing the Jedi and Republic forces against the Trade Federation and their allies. During the Battle of Geonosis, he personally lead a force of two hundred and twelve Jedi against innumerable Battle Droids to save Anakin Skywalker and Queen Amidala. During this battle he personally slew the infamous bounty hunter, Jango Fett.
After more than ten years, Gentle Giant Ltd. is revisiting one of its first pieces, Jedi Master Mace Windu. Featuring a completely original and dramatic sculpt based on the original digital scans of actor Samuel L. Jackson, his costumes and props from Star Wars: Attack of the Clones, no other collectible is as screen accurate. This hand-painted limited edition bust crafted by the master artisans at Gentle Giant Ltd. is individually numbered and comes with a matching certificate of authenticity.
Darth Vader Holographic
Darth Vader. A legendary name synonymous with pure evil. Formerly known as Anakin Skywalker, a Jedi Knight, Darth Vader was seduced by the Dark Side of the Force and became one of the most feared and notorious scourges of good in the Galaxy. His reign of terror would last for more than two decades until his redemption when he sacrificed himself to save his own son.
Using only the highest quality resins, the master artisans at Gentle Giant Ltd. have taken our classic Revenge of the Sith Darth Vader Mini Bust and re-envisioned it as a transparent blue "holographic" version! It even lights up! Crafted using the original digital scans from Revenge of the Sith, no other mini bust can claim the same level of accuracy and detail!
Boba Fett Rocket Firing Prototype
One of the "Holy Grails" of the toy collecting world is the incredibly rare and hard-to-find Rocket Firing Boba Fett figure prototype. The only evidence of "what could have been," the original Boba Fett figure was never released with its rocket firing feature due to safety concerns. No finished versions of the functional figure are known to exist, and only a few of the original one-color injection-molded figures prototypes have ever been seen outside of the Kenner factory. These pieces are highly sought-after by collectors and have fetched incredible prices on the secondary markets.
In honor of this legendary piece of toy lore, we have scanned an original Boba Fett action figure, reengineered the J-slot firing mechanism, resized it to our Jumbo scale and added it to our unbelievably popular Kenner line! Rendered in the original unfinished blue state, this unique collectible is the perfect companion piece to your finished Rocket Firing Boba Fett, or an exciting way to start your brand new collection! Featuring replica red missile and black blaster accessories, no details has been overlooked. Injection molded and made of durable plastics, this jumbo figure comes fully articulated and includes real rocket-firing action!
Thats not all, this prototype Kenner creation comes packaged on a half-sized re-closable blister card, sealed inside a transparent polybag featuring the Kenner logo!
There is also a non-
Star Wars
gift option:
War Machine
From the screen to your shelf, Gentle Giant Ltd. is proud to bring you the 2013 Premier Guild Exclusive WAR MACHINE Mini Bust! Who says hanging out with Tony Stark doesn't have its perks? Jim "Rhody" Rhodes (played by Don Cheadle) is Tony's Air Force Liaison and the closest thing he can call a friend. In Iron Man 2, Tony gave Rhody his own heavy weapons-focused set of Iron Man armor, codenamed War Machine. Now, War Machine will stand side-by-side with Iron Man as they do battle with The Mandarin in 2013's Iron Man 3!
This bold, action-packed deluxe piece features an unprecedented level of detail and dramatic light-up effects! Digitally sculpted by the master artisans at Gentle Giant Ltd. using the suit designs from IRON MAN 3, this is the most screen-accurate War Machine mini bust available! This hand-painted limited edition bust is individually numbered and comes with a matching certificate of authenticity.
In addition to the Premier Guild Exclusive items above, members will also receive:
- 10% off all regular release items purchased directly through Gentle Giant Ltd.
- A one time $30.00 coupon code for in stock purchases

Um, I'm pretty sure we're all fans of Zac's kitchen table right about now. And he has a point: Getting it on all over your house is a clutch way to add some novelty to your hookups. So christen the shower, explore the stairs, and absolutely hop onto the kitchen counter. Oh, but on the off chance you ever get invited to dine at Zac's bachelor pad, we suggest using a placemat.
It's actually an awesome spot to get busy

Difficult to find recipes. Don't like the format at all
I read the other reviews and hesitated , but bought it as a gift this holiday season, when it arrived, i flipped through and made a few recipes within the next few days. I kept it and ordered another for the gift! THe recipes are great, loved that you flip the book over and you have the drink book, such fun!! I do agree with other reviews, this is not for the 1st time cook or someone without common sense. Rachael writes , expecting you to have bit beyond basic skills, but nothing that anyone with some common sense couldn't figure out. I had to reread a few steps. But I would recommend it~ BTW the gift was a big hit too!
NOT FOR NOOK HD (no PagePerfect, i.e. graphically enhanced, books are). They don't tell you this when you purchase a NOOK HD - which is the updated version of the Nook Color. The newest reader gets fewer compatible books, and none with enhanced graphics! Nice.
I like this book.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My cat likes this books ...

We're going to create some competition zones (named COMPETIZONES) in city places, like running tracks, baskets, bicycle tracks, jump bars and so on.
We also create an app for smathphones which alerts you when you're near to one of these "COMPETIZONE" and also shows the record of each track. When you are in this area you can push the button "START COMPETITION" and accept the challenge. If you beat the record your name and personal informations will be shown on the page.
Each "competitor" will have his personal profile with the history of personal records achieved in each zone. It also shows his developmets and his calories burned, per day, per week and the total count. This will be possible because the personal profile contains informations about age, weight and height.

Want to save money? Check out the 2012 Volvo C70
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 7.0
Retractable-hardtop coupes are nothing new; they've been part of the automotive landscape for over 80 years. But only recently have engineers created a practical model that is both affordable and safe. Once such example can be found on the 2013 Volvo C70 convertible, a sleek coupe that looks even sleeker with its top neatly hidden away. In addition to its compelling style, the C70 also touts a number of safety features you won't find on more conventional soft-tops, including side-airbag curtains designed to protect occupants even when the windows are down. The C70 also had a usable rear seat where two adults can sit without contorting themselves into position. Try that in an Audi A5 Cabriolet or Lexus IS 250C.
If you're lusting after a convertible but reality dictates you drive something safe, secure and able to be driven year-round without worry, check out the 2013 Volvo C70 convertible. It will meet all of your (and your spouse's) requirements for a pretty reasonable price.
While the Volvo C70 convertible is a great open-air ride, its driving dynamics can't match the fun experienced behind the wheel of a BMW 3 Series or Audi A5 Cabriolet. The C70's resale values also fall short of its German and Japanese rivals.
Changes to the 2013 Volvo C70 convertible include standard rain-sensing wipers and headlight washers on all trims. A rear spoiler is added to the Inscription Package.
From the exceptional comfort of its form-fitting bucket seats to its pleasant and predictable road manners, the 2013 Volvo C70 is every inch the car Volvo promises it to be....
... Although it doesn't possess the extreme handling and acceleration of cars such as the BMW 335is convertible or Audi S5 Cabriolet, the C70 will prove more than sufficient for the vast majority of drivers. While some enthusiasts may be unimpressed with the C70's comparatively low 227-horsepower 2.5-liter inline-5 engine, Volvo offers a modest upgrade. To help appease performance-oriented drivers, the T5 Inscription package adds a host of refinements for the same engine, yielding a 23-horsepower increase along with an additional 37 lb-ft of torque.
Not surprisingly, the Volvo C70's principal draw is its reinforced retractable hardtop. Whether the forecast calls for a torrential downpour or an abundance of sunshine, the Volvo's 2013 C70 has you covered – and uncovered, too.
Allergy sufferers can breathe a sigh of relief thanks to the Volvo C70's comprehensive climate-control system. To help maintain appropriate humidity levels and prevent atmospheric pollutants from entering the cabin, the C70's ventilation system employs a humidity sensor, cabin filter and Volvo's renowned Interior Air Quality System.
Exceptionally ergonomic and reasonably upscale, the 2013 Volvo C70's cabin produces an engaging experience. Like most modern Volvos, the C70's center stack contains prominent controls and user-friendly climate functions. Standard Sovereign Hide leather handsomely wraps the seating surfaces, while brushed-aluminum inlays highlight the C70's athletic underpinnings. Although the C70's rear seats offer more legroom than most 4-seat convertibles, passengers relegated to the back seat will still find it a bit constricting. Another limiting factor is the retractable hardtop's impact on trunk space, which cuts cargo room nearly in half during open-top driving.
Despite Volvo's Scandinavian origins, credit for the C70's sleek exterior architecture goes to Italy's celebrated Pininfarina design studio. In an effort to align the C70 with Volvo's current design language, a wedge-shaped nose fronted by the brand's trademark grille provides superbly good looks with the top up or down. Moreover, distinctive LED taillights and optional xenon headlights for both the high and low beams emphasize the C70's contemporary design. Highlighting the C70 T5 Inscription's supplemental horsepower is a set of 18-inch high-gloss alloy wheels, a black-painted grille with chrome accents, and a rear deck-lid spoiler.
Leading the list of standard equipment is the 3-piece retractable steel roof that opens or closes in less than 30 seconds. The standard audio system comprises eight speakers, a USB port for MP3/WMA players, HD Radio and SiriusXM satellite radio. Since the C70 is a Volvo, after all, it is chock-full of the latest active and passive safety systems like anti-submarining guards that help prevent passengers from sliding out of their seatbelts in the event of a collision.
Rather than overcomplicating the ordering process with a laundry list of packages and stand-alone options, the 2013 C70 can be configured in two simple trims levels: Premier Plus and Platinum. The Platinum trim includes perhaps the most desirable available feature for the C70, a premium audio system with a 12-speaker arrangement pumping out crisp Dolby Pro Logic II surround sound. The Platinum trim includes a hard drive-based navigation with a 6.5-inch pop-up display and real-time traffic updates. If you're looking to breathe easy behind the wheel, opt for the available Interior Air Quality System that automatically shuts the external vents when the sensors detect traces of airborne impurities.
The Volvo light-pressure turbocharging is designed more for economical all-around driving than for performance, but if you feel a 10-percent horsepower increase and a handful of additional standard features are worth $4K, Volvo offers the Inscription package that adds a modest bump to horsepower and torque. Both the base T5 and T5 with Inscription package models send power to the front wheels via a relatively outdated 5-speed automatic transmission.
2.5-liter turbocharged inline-5
227 horsepower @ 5,000 rpm
250 horsepower @ 5,500 rpm (optional Inscription Package)
236 lb-ft of torque @ 1,500-5,000 rpm
273 lb-ft of torque @ 1,500-3,000 rpm (optional Inscription Package)
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 19/28 mpg

"I had been dreaming about owning a SAAB 900 convertible ever since I was a teen but the dream changed one day when I was at a parade. I saw several local beauty queens sitting up on top of the back seat of the Volvo C70 as it drove down 5th Avenue and it caught my eye. Then from the first moment I laid eyes on the C70's hardtop convertible - it was the car for me. My dream became a reality in February of 2011 and I still love driving this car today. The expert review is accurate but what they don't tell you is that you can upgrade the power by adding a 'Polestar' performance chip and have the mechanics tune it up for high performance. I did it the first week it was available on an aftermarket basis and now I'm the proud owner of a beautiful, luxury, convertible, rocket ship! Got it in 'Ember Black Metallic' paint and invested in an application of Xzilon Molecular Adhesion before it was ever driven off the lot. It's been on the road for five years and it still turns heads. I can't tell you how often I get compliments - and it never gets old. The dream is real - you can have your cake (a luxury convertible) and eat it too - (that's also a high performance hardtop coupe)!"

"I bought this car almost 5 years ago and I still get this new car feeling every time I get in and drive. The vehicle is extremely solid and almost tank-like which is what you want in a convertible - especially when driving at 65 mph in heavy highway traffic, The car has held up well w/ my only complaint being that as with most vehicles, the clearance on the vehicle ideally would be higher. I have a few bottom bumper scrapes. The styling of this vehicle looks very contemporary since the design at the time of purchase was trend setting (e.g. front lights, wheels, etc.) I only wish I didn't get the blue since that seems be the only color I encounter. Resale of this vehicle should be a breeze since my dealer told me "we are always getting calls requesting these, especially if in good condition w/ low mileage." I'd trade in for another volvo convertible if they were only making new ones. In a nutshell, this car was and still is, an instant classic!"

Most Helpful
Great, simple recipe! I could not find cherry tomatoes-on-the-stalk, so used the small plum tomatoes. The recipe is straighforward, and I only seared the fillet on all sides in a non-stick pan (sorry, would have loved to grill but that was not possible). We like our fillet to be pink-rare, as on the photo. Thanks for a great but easy recipe!! Would love to do this on the Weber!

We present a novel framework for analyzing univariate time series data. At the heart of the approach is a versatile algorithm for measuring the similarity of two segments of time series called geometric template matching (GeTeM). First, we use GeTeM to compute a similarity measure for clustering and nearest-neighbor classification. Next, we present a semi-supervised learning algorithm that uses the similarity measure with hierarchical clustering in order to improve classification performance when unlabeled training data are available. Finally, we present a boosting framework called TDEBOOST, which uses an ensemble of GeTeM classifiers. TDEBOOST augments the traditional boosting approach with an additional step in which the features used as inputs to the classifier are adapted at each step to improve the training error. We empirically evaluate the proposed approaches on several datasets, such as accelerometer data collected from wearable sensors and ECG data.

Spider-man 4 Delayed … Warcraft Film Production to take the lead?
I posted over at Worldofwar.net an interesting speculation article that might be of interest to WoW fans. The internet is abuzz with the delay of Spider-man 4's production. I speculate Sam Raimi might decide to commence work on the Warcraft film while the Spider-man 4 script woes are resolved.
The Deadline Hollywood news site reports Sam Raimi is not happy with the Spider-man 4 script and the villains line-up. This potentially causes a major delay and postponement of its filming production — meant to have taken place in a few weeks. Thus the Spider-man 4 film won't be ready for its May 5, 2011 release date.
A script started from scratch could take a year or more, not even considering if it is again rejected then and needs to be taken back to the drawing board till it is right and liked by the director. Could this be a good sign for the Warcraft film to take priority over Spider-man 4? Read my full article here.
Paul Sams Interviewed by Post-Gazette: Warcraft Film in Pre-Production Stage
The Post-Gazette interviewed Paul Sams concerning the recent news that he is one of the co-owners of the Pittsburgh's NFL team The Steelers. He confirmed his friendship with Thomas Tull (Legendary Pictures CEO), who is also a new co-owner and shareholder of The Steelers. At the end of the interview, the Post-Gazette pitched a question to find out the current status of the Warcraft Film.
For now it is in pre-production stage, putting the script together, while Sam Raimi works on Spider-Man 4.
|Blizzard Quote:
|Post-Gazette: When is the "World of Warcraft" movie coming out?
Paul Sams: Sam Raimi has been attached as the director. We're working really hard with Legendary [Pictures] and Sam—he has "Spider-Man 4" first, then he'll move to this project. We're in the process of developing the scripts.

SDCC 2009: Warcraft Movie – Gamespy Interviews Chris Metzen
Gamespy cornered Chris Metzen to ask a few questions about the Warcraft Movie now that Sam Raimi is known worldwide to be the official director of the film. The answers are very interesting. I really enjoy listening to Chris Metzen—hey buddy! —love his worlds. Can't wait to meet him again, and do another lore interview. It feels like just a few days since our last interview. (laughs, wink, wink, notch, notch)
|Blizzard Quote:
|GameSpy: What most excites you about co-producing the movie?
Chris Metzen: The thing that would excite me most is just that it translates boldly. That it feels like a fan experience, and that a couple years from now, you sit down in a theater and you're like, "They did it. They got it. That feels genuine." It may not be about your Level 12 Night Elf Hunter, specifically, but all the familiarity—the locales, the places, the characters, the storylines—it all feels contiguous and one-to-one with your expectations. That's my great hope.
Warcraft Movie: Bruce Campbell and Metzen Talk to the Media
IGN writer Eric Goldman was at the San Diego Comic Con 2009 today, and found no other than … Bruce Campbell … at the event, promoting his Burn Notice series. IGN took the opportunity to ask what would be his role in the upcoming WARCRAFT MOVIE now that Sam Raimi is officially announced to be the director of the film. To this Bruce Campbell denied he knew anything about his childhood old-friend's role in the WARCRAFT MOVIE, until the day it was announced.
Campbell said the following:
"I'll get a call." What did he expect Raimi will tell him when that call comes? Raimi imagined his old friend will tell him, "You play some schmuck. Some idiot guy. Some garbage man."
Ya'know, back in the day, my grandma had a lot of sayings from the old guard (1930s-70s). I don't remember any that applies here, out of the tip of my mind, but I ain't buying it. He might not have stellar roles in some of the movies, but they were fun as heck. Tell me a single person that—even if they didn't know who Bruce Campbell is—didn't enjoy Jack of All Trades in Hercules and Xena: Warrior Princess [for example]. I LOVED IT. It was many years later that I realized Bruce was the same guy that played in Evil Dead: Army of Darkness. That was a movie I watched around age 20 back on 1992. I enjoyed watching movies with my family every week. Army of Darkness was among my favorites, and enjoyed his role there.
Anyway, either he knows and denied, or he really didn't know Raimi would be involved in the project. However, if we read what Gary Whitta said recently, Raimi knew about it for a while as he was who approached Blizzard showing interest in the film. When someone like Raimi has interest in something, how wouldn't you call your best friend to tell him, and to see if you are free to play a role? Come on !!!
In short, I have a feeling Bruce Campbell is playing a big role. Chris Metzen is involved in the WARCRAFT FILM, and I know he will pick a role for the actor. Metzen jokingly talked to Kotaku at the San Diego Comic Con today about Bruce Campbell. A sign the actor may have heard already, and denied it.
|Blizzard Quote:
|"I keep thinking [Campbell] might make a killer Goblin," Metzen said during today's Warcraft "Epic Loot" Comic-Con panel. "He's got a kick ass chin."
Ok, that made a few fans laugh out loud. Any role would suit the actor, but I don't doubt he would play a big role: King Varian, Bolvar Fordraagon, Malfurion, Medivh, Thrall … you name it. What role do you think Bruce Campbell could play in this film? Let's hear your thoughts and creativity.
Gary Whitta No Longer on WARCRAFT MOVIE
A few years ago, I spread through the net the Diablo Film was listed at the Under Development section of the Legendary Pictures website. It was removed from the list within 24-hours after it went all around the world. I remember looking around the net for clues, and I remember Gary Whitta appeared in my radar as writer of the script. Also as been involved in the Warcraft movie script. I think he also had a Starcraft story in his website. Suddenly, his website disappeared, with all trace and evidence.
I didn't save anything of what I found on his website nor took pictures—to my shame, and he redirected the domain name to his blog. I contacted him, shortly after and he never replied. He is been hidden in some underground fallout bunker—a la Blast From The Past—because I rarely managed to find any comments linking him to the Warcraft or Diablo film, except for his Death, Jr. Series. His blog hasn't been updated since July 29, 2007.
Today, Gary Whitta incredibly made a statement about his involvement in the WARCRAFT FILM's script, which is now void with the introduction of Sam Raimi to the project. Really gives me a headache to think, I didn't download anything of what I found on his website back then. The guy literally disappeared after the whole Diablo Film buzz, until now. Read below his statement.
Gary Whitta: I had actually been working on this for the past two years. Had to keep it under wraps at the time but it doesn't really matter now.
I worked very closely with Legendary and Blizzard to come up with a screenplay that distilled the sprawling Warcraft mythology into a narrative that was easily accessible to the non-player, and everyone was really pleased with the results – I personally thought my last draft of the script in particular was really kick-ass and did a good job of introducing the Warcraft world to non-players while also satisfying hardcore players who knew every nook and cranny of the universe. When Sam expressed interest in the property, however, he had his own pretty specific vision of what he wanted to do story-wise so that's the version they're now pursuing. I'm no longer involved but I wish them all the best with it; so far as I'm concerned Raimi is the best possible director for this.
Warcraft Movie Director Announced … Sam Raimi
Blizzard has dropped the bomb on fans with their latest press release revealing the director of the upcoming WARCRAFT
Fan-thought Cast-Off – Warcraft Film
Blizzard Entertainment and the Legendary Pictures executives have been too strict and cryptic about revealing the Warcraft Film's Director, writer and cast. Rumors went around a few years ago that the writer was Gary Whitta, but it has not been confirmed. On 2005, Blizzard and Legendary revealed one concept art from the Warcraft film ideas. It was an image of Teldrassil seen from a Darkshore perspective.
Chris Metzen said at the same event there were plans for an Alliance character, an anti-Thrall. Obviously, this was in reference to King Varian Wrynn, who was still missing at that point until he debuted in the comic book, unveiled in July 2007 at the San Diego Comic Con. Brandon Routhe (Superman) showed interest in working on the Warcraft Film. He plays World of Warcraft. Will Routhe play as King Varian? Hmm. The latest update on this Warcraft Film was reported by Ancilorn on the official wow-europe forums:
Hollywood Writers' Strike Could Harm World of Warcraft Film
The Writers Guild of America, Hollywood writers union and Screen Actors Guild claim that Film studios aren't fulfilling their agreement after the strike held a year ago. The writers and actors want to be paid royalties for internet reruns on Films made after 1971 and TV shows made after 1977 as the agreement stipulated. The film studios want to pay royalties for internet reruns for films and shows made after February 13, 2008.
There is obviously a great deal of problems ahead of the industry if this dispute is not settled. If a new strike is held, this could potentially affect the development of the World of Warcraft film … yet again. As of two weeks ago, Frank Pearce revealed a screenwriter and a director have not been appointed by Legendary Pictures to date. This process would gain further delays if the strike becomes reality in upcoming weeks.—Read more.
The two unions appear to be reading from the same script with an eye to disrupting the upcoming Hollywood awards season, much as last year
World of Warcraft Film Gets Producers
Blizzard COO Paul Sams told Guardian during an interview with Greg Howson (Guardian.co.uk) that a director has not been decided yet, but two producers are now onboard.
How's the movie going?
Paul Sams: We're in the second or third draft at the moment. We're interviewing directors and have added two of the producers of the Dark Knight as well. They are onboard. I'm so excited about that. The directors we have spoken to have put forward their ideas and we're making progress. We're as confident as ever in Legendary Pictures as they did a great job on the Dark Knight. Will we make 2009? Time is tight and things would have to go really right for that to happen. I wouldn't rule 2009 out but like our games we only want to release when are happy. I don't think it's too far away though.

Legendary Pictures - World of Warcraft Film Blizzcon video
WCRadio put up the video of the Legendary Pictures Panel held at Blizzcon 2007, where Chris Metzen, Paul Sams and Thomas Tull (Legendary Pictures Chairman) discussed details of the Film with fans. The video lasts 43 minutes, and it is very amusing, humorous and informative. At the end you will see a concept art that shows Teldrassil. If that is a hint of things to see, we will probably see Darnassus city and of course Tyrande Whisperwind.
It will be a live action film portraying a war conflict between the Alliance and the Horde. The timeframe is set to a year before the events of the MMORPG. The main character will be a new heroe described to be kick-ass Human. Most of the story is told from the point of view of the Alliance, but there will be Horde elements with Thrall making it to the big screen. Thomas Tull hinted they want to make the first film a masterpiece that will make fans be excited of seeing what we we see everyday in the MMO come to live—and by saying "first film" basically let the cat out that they envision more films based on World of Warcraft.

The Case of The Cautious Condor is an adventure game in the format of a comic book. It was released in 1989 by Tiger Media Inc, and was available DOS, CDTV and FM-Towns.
My first encounter with Condor was in 1992, while on vacation in Euro Disney with the family. It was in a display set for future of gaming platform, featuring the CD-ROM. It's been on my mind ever since.
Without an apparent reason, I figured it's time to extract all sprites and audio banks. The version I chose was the CDTV, but the code works with DOS version as well.
Condor comprises over 200 .RTF file, each contains a CEL sprite, (optionally) a palette and (optionally) an audio stream. Sprites are 32 colors (5 bit palette index), and audio is 14700 hz 8bit mono.
Game logic was implemented in C++ and is in the executable file in full. The following script was rewritten without reverse engineering the game, with pure trial-and-error.
Owners of the CDTV copy are more than welcome to download the python script at extract-condor-assets.py. It will dump all sprites into separate PNG files, and all audio in Microsoft .wav files (requires PIL and sox). Released under GPL license.
Alternatively, you can view all sprites in a kickass collage online.
And remember: Means, Motive and Opportunity!
Laura Buddine - 5 years ago
If you're a fan of Condor, then I have good news. Look for a new version, including great hi-res artwork, coming early in 2011. Several of the original team are involved in the production, and you'll be able to play it online.
I was the original executive producer, and I've never been able to get it out of my head, either!
This is part of a maze of twisty little passages, all alike

ATLANTA (AP) - A Fulton County Superior Court jury has issued a
death sentence to a 36-year-old man who earlier rejected the
prosecution's offer of a life sentence without parole.
The jury deliberated for more than five hours before pronouncing
the death sentence against De'Kelvin Martin, who was convicted last
week in the fatal stabbings of his girlfriend's 12-year-old son,
83-year-old grandfather and 77-year-old grandmother.
Prosecutors said Martin killed Tymika Wright's relatives out of anger after she refused his demands for sex and asked her son to call 911 when Martin was trying to rape her.
Psychiatrists and psychologists disagreed on whether Martin was mentally ill at the time of the trial or when the killings took place in October 2002.
