A bricked lower Main Street closed to traffic, on certain days, has long been discussed.
Tuesday, Oct. 30, the possibility rolled ahead — slightly — with initial support from a downtown board and potential start-up funding on the table from a grassroots group.
Sarasota Vision, led by former Sarasota mayor and mobility advocate Gil Waters, has collected $300,000 from private donors to be spent on downtown projects that would make Main Street more pedestrian friendly and walkable. Some of the money could be used to brick Main Street and install bollards, devices that can be used to close lower Main Street to traffic during events or on certain evenings, Waters said.
The Downtown Improvement District (DID) decided that it wanted to hear more about the proposal. Specifically, the board wants to see cost estimates to brick Main street and install bollards.
"If it is going to be $1 million, the DID doesn't have that asset," said DID board member Dr. Mark Kauffman. "If it is a couple hundred thousand dollars, we can talk about it."
One construction option is to try to get the two projects completed as part of the upcoming Main Street sidewalk improvement project, slated to undergo construction this summer.
In an interview with the Sarasota Observer, Waters said that preliminary estimates put the cost of bricking Main Street, from Palm Avenue to Five Points, at about $800,000.
Bricking that part of Main Street would transform the first few blocks into a gateway entrance to downtown, said Waters.
The bollards would allow the city to close several blocks of lower Main Street on, say, a Friday night so that walkers can enjoy that part of downtown without having to worry about walking through traffic, Waters said.
There could be a stage on Main Street where Florida Studio Theatre or Asolo Rep Theatre could perform, Waters added.
Tony Souza, former president of the Downtown Partnership, urged DID board members to consider bricking Main Street, using Charleston, S.C., New Bedford, Mass., and Winter Park, Fla. as examples of how brick streets can enhance communities.
Souza showed images of Winter Park's brick Park Avenue, and tried to dispel a long-held belief that bricking Main Street would cause businesses to close during a lengthy construction. That belief has led many merchants to oppose proposals to brick over Main Street.
"They never closed the street," Souza said about the construction of the brick street in Winter Park. "They never completely closed the sidewalk. They never shut business down."
That project was completed at night, as a "stealth team" worked at night to brick the central Florida's town, Souza said.
Souza also showed historic photos from the 1920s that showed brick sections of streets and pavers on Lemon Avenue.

I may not be a brilliant technologist or anything, but a love of problem-solving is something I think I have in common with IT geniuses. Isn't that what IT is all about? In simplest terms, technology is about finding faster, better, and more efficient ways to solve problems. It's what motivates most IT professionals to get out of bed in the morning—that, and their smartphone app which gently wakes them between sleep cycles based on the optimal human sleeping pattern. I think you get my point. Thanks to technology, people have come a long way in resolving life's little issues—like how to save money on car insurance in 15 minutes or less.
I had the honor of catching up with some of the best problem solvers out there at the PDS 2012 Tech Conference. This annual two-day event brought together hundreds of IT professionals in Milwaukee for networking and collaborating. The overarching theme was all about interactive problem-solving; you know, lots of talk about solving the problems of today to move into tomorrow. It was a great chance to get some pointers—for free—so I was taking notes.
I got to listen in on keynote speakers, take part in strategy sessions, and meet some very interesting attendees. Overall, it's all about finding ways we can work together better—whether it's saving bunches of money on car insurance or being up and ready for action thanks to an ingenious alarm app.

Undergraduate Research Option in
Materials Science and Engineering
Georgia Tech's Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program was created as part of Tech's "Quality Enhancement Plan" (QEP), a component of SACS accreditation. The purpose is to support both the quality and quantity of undergraduate research participation on campus.
The Materials Science and Engineering Undergraduate Program offers the Research Option that allows students to participate in undergraduate research in faculty laboratories. The words "Research Option" will appear on the transcript of each student completing the requirements to indicate that the student has had a substantial, in-depth, research experience.
The requirements for the "Research Option" in Materials Science and Engineering are:
- Selection of a faculty advisor and research topic in conjunction with the faculty advisor. The topic and expected scope of the project must be approved in advance by the MSE Undergraduate Curriculum Committee. A key criterion will be whether the research may lead to a publishable paper.
- Fill out and submit the Research Option Participation Intent Form
- Completion of nine units (see 4 below) of supervised research, over a period of at least two, but preferably three, terms. Research may be either for pay or credit. At least six credit hours must involve work on a single research project.
- Registration in 9 hours of undergraduate research courses MSE 2698 and 4698 (for pay), or MSE 2699 and 4699 (for credit). Up to 10 hours of MSE 2699 or 4699 can be used to satisfy the technical, MSE, and free elective requirements of the BS degree in MSE. Courses taken for credit must be passed with a grade of "C" or higher.
- Completion of LCC 4701 "Undergraduate Research Proposal Writing" (1 hr. credit) with a grade of "C" or higher. The student should write a Research Proposal while taking this class (CLICK HERE for details on proposal content and requirements).
- Obtain approval of the Research Proposal from the MSE Undergraduate Curriculum Committee (by submitting it electronically to the Associate Chair for UndergraduatePrograms). This is required before taking LCC4702 (see immediately below).
- Completion of LCC 4702 "Undergraduate Research Thesis Writing" (1 hr.Credit) with a grade of "C" or higher.
- Have research thesis approved by the faculty advisor and one other MSE faculty member approved by the MSE Undergraduate Curriculum Committee. (Contact the Associate Chair for Undergraduate Programs to obtain approval for second reviewer.) The thesis will be evaluated on the basis of publishability, originality, creativity, and clarity.
- Submit a pdf copy of the approved research thesis to the Associate Chair for Undergraduate Programs.

iPhone 2.1 shows up in latest firmware
Comment | Print | Email to a Friend | Font Size: AA
There may be a new iPhone in town soon. At least that seems to be what is going to happen if the code inside the latest firmware is correct.
According to MacRumors there is a mention of iPhone2,1 inside the latest firmware (2.2.1). This type of numbering follows Apple's traditional nomenclature for the iToy line. The first iPhone was iPhone1,1 the 3G is iPhone1,2 etc.
What this new numbering means is anyone's guess. But after yesterday's iPhone concept art it is certainly fun to speculate.

I am asked that time and time again whenever I bust out my Vetta personal vaporizer. To the questioner, I might come off a bit bothered, but honestly, I don't mind. The seceret is, I like being approached so that I can show it off.
I tell them about its powerful nicotine delivery, smooth draw, exquisite taste.
But I like to remain mysterious, so I don't get into the specifics.
That's for me to know and them to notice. Later. I've go to keep my admirers on their toes.
Maybe I let them try a puff. Maybe not. Depends on my mood, the mood of the night, the phase of the moon and the trustworthiness of their smile.
When the moment has passed, I tuck away my Vetta, check my phone and slip away. It's not that I wish to be alone, it's just that I like to keep it fresh. A half hour later, I will reconvene with my enchanting personal nicotine vaporizer, indulge it's fine flavor with a warmth in my chest, a spark in my mind and a wide open night ahead...
This device does not imitate anything. It's in a league of its own. Classy like a vintage cigarette holder, sleek like a Learjet, cutting edge like nanotech.
The Vetta is the powerhouse that you need to last all day and then some. For those who demand consistent vapor and full flavor in every mouth full with less recharging. Now, we've combined the Vetta with the massive e-liquid storage of the Veppo ClearTank System so that you don't run out of e-liquid for days.
Sometimes, you don't want to look like your smoking a cigarette. You want something a little cooler, with a style that reflects your individuality. The Vetta will draw attention. Be prepared to be popular. And when people buzz around you like bees to a hive, remember that we warned you. Puff away and enjoy. You're cool like that.
The Veppo e-cig ninjas aren't some call center reps we've hired from overseas. Nope. Our E-cig ninjas were first our customers before they became our go to support. Now they lavishly spread their enormous product experience and knowledge on to you!

I have been using BLU E-Cig for almost a year. It's a poor product. Ten batteries, three USB chargers, and countless cartridges that did not work, I was ready to give up. I luckily received an email on how Veppo changed their website. I looked at. Was amazed. I ordered the Veppo Vetta starter kit. It was GREAT!! It truly felt I was smoking real cigarettes. Flavor was great. A few days later I ordered two more tanks to use with different flavors. I highly recommend this product to everyone. Thank you for a great and well made product. I would give it a six star rating but five is the most I can give.

Great kit for a first timer! Easy to to set up and use. I have smoked for over 40 years and find this a satisfying and perfect substitute.
Posted by Tia on 4th May 2013
i have tried many e-cigs in the past, only to have them fail.the batteries only last a few hours at most per charge,i never could count on them working. it was a constant battle.so in frustration i would pick up a cigarette and on to a two pack a day habbit. with this vaporizer the batteries last two to three days w\heavy vaping.it works every time with out any trouble. i have and will continue to recomend this vaporizer as the only one to have.

I have been a smoker for 25 years. I have quit cold turkey several times but decided this time I want to try using a vap.
I have tried around a half dozen vap products and all of them were expensive and a total disappointment.
The vap is flavor full bodied and completely satisfies my cravings for a cigarette.
Also, the customer service is excellent. USPS lost my shipment and the Veppo Ninjas helped me asap.
Great product, excellent service and I am excited to kick a life long habit!

Just received my dark E-cigar chocolate flavor...love it and have just ordered two more in cherry. After much research and narrowing the playing field I will be recommending these as gifts for the rest of the men in my family. Oh and my wife used to smoke, thought this product was awesome as well. I'm looking to order the Vetta products shortly too! Anyone looking to try an E alternative to smoking must try Veppo!!!
Posted by Stephen Cummings on 9th Apr 2013
Kinda large, but 'does the job' at a lower cost than the rest. Yeah, I tried three other brands.
I was either always refilling, swapping atomizers, recharging weak batteries. Another company only gives you 10 cartridges for $80.00 and they lasted me only 7 days.. NOT a bargain.
I carefully looked over this Veppo system, and could not find a flaw. It's supplies are inexpensive, there is plenty of liquid, and I only needed refilling after about 12-15 hrs.
The satisfaction is great, you get VERY good pulls on the Vetta and the taste stays with you longer.
I'M SOLD and will be ordering new supplies about June(this is March 2013) and it may only cost me $30.00 for another 3-4 months.
I have the VeppoVetta Clear tank kit Starter kit. Add the tobacco liquid you desire and your done for 3-4 months.
Can't tell you how happy I am with it.
Posted by Beverly S.C. on 6th Apr 2013
I have been with Veppo since I quit smoking 2 1/2 yrs. ago..they were my salvation..had so many different batteries and if something was wrong they fixed it immediately. Lately my battery was leaking a lot of my liquid(and it is pricey) so I purchased the Vetta Kit...I have only had it 5 days. had not had to refill yet or charge..vapor is unbelievabale. Don't know why I didn't do this long ago...just hope it lasts...they are kind of big but who cares......very satisfying. I also had the no nicotine e-liquid....thanks Veppo. Dr. advised vapor not harmful so why put it down.
Posted by Melanie Beth on 4th Apr 2013
I have smoked full flavor cigarettes for the last 30 yrs & have tried over & over to stop with no luck. Now I have a grandson that is my life & I want to be here for him & watch him grow. Even tho there are no guarantees in life stopping smoking certainly gives me a better chance of living longer & being healthier. I purchased the Vetta Personal Vaporizer kit with the Clear Tanks & my E-fluid nicotine level is High so that works VERY WELL for my cravings. This DOES work. The first 4 days after I received my order I did still smoke my morning cigarette but after that 4th day I didn't even want one. If you want or need to quit smoking THIS IS THE ANSWER! IT WORKS! The customer service is also one in a million, they are THE BEST!!! I am so thankful I found this website!
Posted by Verronica on 3rd Apr 2013
I just got my kit today and it is amazing!! I have tried literally every product that has ever come out ( patches, gum, other inhalers including a different vapor cigarette of lesser quality, hypnosis, laser. You name it I've tried it!)!!
I am beside myself with how well this working for me. Within the first half hour I was on facebook telling everyone how great this works. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!! *Happy Dance*
Posted by Cindy KC on 29th Mar 2013
This was my first purchase of any type of e-cig, not knowing what to expect was skeptical but hopeful. I'm a heavy smoker 1-2 pk per day for 35 years, now have COPD, and still not smart enough to quit smoking, in spite of how unhealthy I have become. My purchase came on Tuesday, today is Friday and I have not smoked one cigarette since I opened my box, and have no desire to do so. Today I placed a second order for my husband, I hope he likes it a much as I do. My coughing is already reduced, that has to be a good sign. This is a great option to breaking a life long bad habit. Who knows maybe I can take the money I'll be saving and buy some paint and get rid of my yellow ceilings.

I love my Veppo and wish I would have discovered this years ago. You always ship my products on time and with out issue. Thanks again and keep up the great work. Your e-cig ninjas are weapons of mass satisfaction. :)
Amro Kewan, Software DeveloperFairfax, Virginia
I switched to a Vetta in October 2011, quickly and painlessly, My Vetta satisfied that need for nicotine, and I don't miss the rest at all--- The smoke, the mess, the allergies, the dirty looks from people, the need to go hide and have a quick smoke during parties.
Daneen Petty, Executive Assistent Las Vegas, Nevada
I really love your products, compared to the e-cig I was using before, your batteries stay charged longer, charge much faster. Your e-liquid comes in a stronger mix, and your blank cartridges do not leak when you take a puff. Great product.
Phil Ingram, Business OwnerMinocqua, Wisconsin
New products you may want to check out. Or have your friends check out. Just sayin'.

Understanding Content By Category
Don't rent your social media channels by pushing advertising messages, own them by making a down payment on your community with great content in one of these three categories. Ultimately, your marketing dollars will go further.
Social Media Tunnel Vision: Facebook and Twitter
When the term social media is mentioned, many now instantly think this just means "Facebook and Twitter" with little regard for the other major players in the field. This could mean huge missed opportunities for small businesses, who might not realize the big opportunities in places like Yelp, Foursquare and more.
Social Media and Trust: Coca-Cola could have an advantage of 650 million people
As Facebook rolled out Open Graph (for those of you still behind on this – it basically pulls your public Facebook profile details into websites that you visit if those websites have Open Graph installed), it seemed to be a fittingly monumental initiative for the social media giant. Even with the ensuing backlash concerning privacy issues – the concept seemed to be a very progressive step towards the evolution of social media.
Facebook Races Past Google, Brands Risk Becoming Irrelevant
If you didn't happen to notice, Facebook just passed Google as the number 1 online destination in the U.S. for web users, according to Hitwise.
What does this mean? It means the rise of SMO (Social Media Optimization) and the continue competition between search engines and social media as a primary destination. It's obvious that both social media, and search capability are important – who will be the first to find the perfect blend of the two technologies, making it seamless for users to find relevant, trustworthy information online through friends and resources?
10 Strategic Social Media Approaches and Best Social Media Practices
Ten social media strategic approaches that will impact your positioning with your community. As we move further beyond interruption marketing and the day of the 30 second-spot, full conversations with consumers and brands will evolve. Make sure your are using these approaches to make the most of your engagement with your community of listeners.
What is your Social Media Alert and Response Team Emergency Plan? Get a SMART EP.
Social Media Alert and Response Team, an acronym that describes an immediate emergency plan involving a key group of decision-makers within your company or organization, that can respond to a potentially disastrous conversation chain or thread of negative consumer feedback starting to gain momentum within your social media presence.
In social media, often the speed of the response can be more important than the content of the response.
Where in the world is your social community?
At a recent social media conference held by the Business Development Institute in New York City, McDonalds presented their own insights on the lessons learned from social media initiatives that they have engaged in. One of the first, and most basic steps, is to determine which social communities to engage since different regions of the world are drawn to different social communities.

Web 3.0? Nimbus and Focus.
At the current pace of the accelerating social media space – the next evolution in social media could send everyone racing, yet again, to understand and strategically gauge the best implementation of the medium…which may become completely reinvented. Relax, it won't happen tomorrow or next week – but keep your expectations in check as it can always be right around the corner. What are we talking about? Web 3.0. Where your status will be called your "nimbus" and those things you want to follow or have interest in will be called your "focus."
Is Social Media a Fad?
In one of the most compelling videos we have seen to date, a great stack of staggering and significant statistics are linked together in a chain that documents the exponential growth of social media mathematically. The fundamental shift in the way consumers consume has been changing the dynamics of marketing and the online spend vs traditional offline spend for even the biggest marketing budgets.
Google Social Search
As the lines between search engines and social networks continue to blur, things are getting interesting. Consider, as most of you already know, that Google is the #1 online destination and that Facebook is now #2 (at the time of this writing as per Alexa rankings) so both giants have the world's best platforms for their particular category. The final piece of the current puzzle involves figuring out how to leverage the power inherent in both companies' respective platforms in a way that shows users their first online destination should be one or the other. Or does it?

Do you ride the bus or subway? You may have heard a bit of tech news recently that could strike close to your pocket: the next update of Apple's Maps app for iPhones and iPads will no longer include Google's integrated transit routing service. Instead, public transit directions will be provided by third-party apps. The move is eliciting strong responses from public transportation advocates, but as Kevin Webb of open source transit nonprofit OpenPlans points out, some cities may "fare" better than others (pun mine, not Kevin's).
Image via Waxy.org.
Without delving too deep into geekery: Google and the Portland, Ore. Tri-Met transit agency collaborated on building a computerized standard format for transit schedules several years ago, known as GTFS. When a transit agency publishes their schedules in GTFS format on the Internet, Google Maps and the future iOS map app can read that schedule data and convert it into transit directions for users.
Webb's team at OpenPlans has launched a KickStarter campaign to fund a new mobile app called OpenTripPlanner Mobile, which will offer coverage of every transit agency that provides free GTFS schedules. Their team has provided a helpful map of North American transit agencies that provide this scheduling data and that will be included in the new application.
Transit and bicycling route layers for downtown Chicago on Google Maps.
With such strong momentum behind the movement, why isn't every transit agency jumping on board the open data train? (Sorry, last pun, I promise!) An article by the National Neighborhood Indicators Partnership lists the top five reasons why data providers frequently resist the urge to publish open data - along with helpful arguments against each of the reasons. Of course many transit agencies are underfunded and under-resourced and that can be a somewhat understandable reason for a lack of publication of open data. But the agencies that are selling the data or contractually obligated by their transit computer system providers from releasing it are the bumps in the open data road ahead.
U.S. copyright law states that, with some exceptions, work produced by the U.S. government is not copyrighted and is essentially public domain. But state governments and local agencies don't always follow suit; many charge "cost recovery" fees to users of data, and these fees can be quite high. While some argue for these fees from a philosophical or economic perspective, others make the case that an open data policy is a path that will spur increased innovation and public benefit.
Twenty years ago, the software tools used to make digital maps (geographical information systems, or GIS) belonged almost exclusively to government agencies, large corporations, and academics. Today, even junior high school students can create online maps of their communities using freely available tools and data. Civic hackers—graphic designers, website developers, and engaged citizens—are united to build cool applications using data freely released by our local, state, and federal government agencies.
Image by OpenSourceWay via Flickr.
And our geeks in government aren't just releasing bus schedules and real estate maps—they're contributing to open source software at every level of government by releasing the tools they've built with taxpayer funds. A recent interview with Chris Willey, CIO of the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, includes a quote that perfectly summarizes why the open source ethos fits so well with the mission of government:
When I was working for the District, Apps for Democracy was a big contest that we did around opening data and then asking developers to write applications using that data that could then be used by anybody. We said that the next logical step was to sort of create more participatory government. And in my mind, open sourcing the projects that we do is a way of asking the citizenry to participate in the active government.
Apple's decision to drop transit trip planning in iOS 6 will definitely have fallout beyond its immediate battle with Google, but transit riders in cities that provide open transit data should still have free and open alternatives for trip planning. Although there are still some holdouts, more and more cities are seeing the benefits of open data strategies. With organizations like OpenPlans and City Go Round offering assistance and software to transit authorities, I'm confident that we'll see the continued growth and adoption of open transit data products over the next few years.
Rate this article
The most compelling reason to open transit data is to increase ridership, which should increase revenues, and thereby recover the costs. The economic case is not a technological one at all, it's a business case. And open data advocates who cling to promises of "innovation" that have spurious economic cases at best are never going to win the argument.
Bottom line: this isn't always about saving money or spurring innovation. It's good business sense.
Code for America is reimagining government for the 21st century, helping governments better serve citizens by harnessing the power of the web. Founded in 2009, Code for America held its inaugural fellowship in 2011 with 19 fellows and three cities.
Through the Fellowship program Code for America provides an opportunity for the web generation to give back by connecting developers and designers with city governments, to innovate. In 2012, Code for America has grown to connecting 26 fellows with eight cities..

Send this story Print this story Adjust text size Menlo Park union just wants to say hi • SEIU organizer asks to meet with individual council members.
by Sandy Brundage
"I won't be and imagine no one else will either," said Mayor Rich Cline. "I have met with them before one on one and did not see any issue with it, but given where we are in the negotiations, I cannot see it happening."
The organizer, Lee Alvis, directed all questions to the union's communications director, Khanah Weinberg. She told the Almanac that as an organizer new to the area, Mr. Alvis wanted to personally introduce himself to each council member.
Councilman Peter Ohtaki, drawing upon his experience with negotiations as a member of the governing board of the Menlo Park Fire Protection District, said he'd be willing to meet, but only after the SEIU negotiator and his team met with the city manager.
"There's a time and place where it's appropriate, where it wouldn't distract from the formal negotiation process," Mr. Ohtaki said. "It's inappropriate to meet with them until they've met with the city manager. And certainly you do not want to talk about negotiation topics."
He said that such meetings provide an opportunity to get to know the personalities of the bargaining team, as long as the conversation avoided any issue under negotiation.
Council members Kelly Fergusson and Andy Cohen didn't respond to the Almanac before deadline.
Last May, the council imposed pension benefit limitations on SEIU employees that raised the retirement age for new non-police city employees from 55 to 60, and decreased pension benefits from a maximum of four-fifths of annual salary to three-fifths.
The changes take effect only if the city negotiates the same deal with the city's middle management employees when their contract expires this year.
The union, along with the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), threatened to sue the city again now that Measure L, which set similar pension limitations but also requires a public vote to raise benefits, passed in the November elections with 72 percent voter approval.
But now SEIU wants to return to the bargaining table. The council created a labor negotiation subcommittee in December, composed of Mayor Cline and Vice Mayor Keith, to increase the transparency of the city's bargaining process.
"The best course is as much transparency as possible," Vice Mayor Keith said regarding SEIU's request for individual meetings. "The council should discuss this issue at our next meeting in March, when the labor subcommittee reports to the council, and formulate a consensus on this."

Home › Forums › Crewing › children and teenagers needed for photographic film project on youth culture in the UK.
This topic contains 0 replies, has 1 voice, and was last updated by Sarah Gooda 4 years, 8 months ago.
September 28, 2008 at 12:00 pm #259486
The project will be shown online on YouTube, on the Spangled Aura Website and possibly on other sites. Films in this series are also being made with children and teenagers across the globe, including Australia, New Zealand, the USA, Canada, South Africa, Ireland and India, and will eventually create a showcase of the world's cultures through the eyes of today's youth.
If you are aged 18 or under, I would like you to contribute to this project by giving me your thoughts on the following questions. If you only have answers to some of the questions, I would still be interested to hear from you.
·What things do you think make up the culture of the UK today?
·What things do you think used to be part of the UK culture but are no longer important?
·What images do you think best represent the culture of the UK and / or your own culture? (eg a building, costume or clothing, religious item, person, festival, artwork, images from the news etc)
·If you could chose one piece of music to represent UK culture, what would it be?
If you have anything to say on these matters, please send your answers and ideas to the email address below. If you have any pictures which you think are relevant, please also email them – NOTE these MUST be photographs taken by you or your family or friends, and NOT photographs you have found on the internet (using photos from the internet might be against copyright law and we are not allowed to use them).
Please write the following sentence in your email if you are submitting a photograph. 'I declare that this photograph is my own work or that of a friend or family member. I have permission to use the photograph and I agree for Spangled Aura Productions to use the photograph in the online cultural identity project'
If you would like to be more involved in the project, I will be holding a session in Cardiff Bay early in October for people who want to come along and share their thoughts, or to bring along items to be photographed. There will also be an opportunity for those who want to, to perform a dance or a piece of music which represents UK culture (either modern or traditional). This will all be very informal so no big audiences – its mainly to record things which I can use in the project. Please let me know if you are interested.
All participants in the workshop or people who email in photographs or their ideas on the above questions will have their name on the film's credits and be mentioned on the Spangled Aura website. If you are interested in taking part or have ideas or photos about your culture, please contact me through this site or email [email protected]
Thank you

I bought an xbox 360 yesterday. Which games should I buy and why? I got modern warfare 2 yesterday. It is my first game and I really enjoy the online play so far. I have not really played campaign to much though. I am really looking towards halo reach because I have been a halo fan since halo one. Which was also my first game on the xbox. :) Which games should I buy and why? Also I am back. I had truble logging in with twitter for the past few months sadly. But I am back. :) asked Jun 13 '11 at 21:56 Madison Tries |
Black Ops and Modern Warfare 2, they are the greatest FPS games out there and they are tons of fun to play online answered Jun 13 '11 at 22:13 pcknowsbest "I got modern warfare 2 yesterday.". I do not want black ops though. :P I think one Call of duty is enough for me now. Even if they are made by different company's with deferent styles. Thank you though. :)

Forza 3, L.A. Noire, and GTA IV. That's all I can think of. answered Jun 13 '11 at 22:10 HerpDerp My mom will not let me get two of those. -.-

She's afraid that you're going to go on a rampage because of GTA and afraid that you're going to become a cop because of LA Noire? As if Call of Duty is any better?

Yeah. She does not like that LA Noire has nudity in some parts... From what I know it is only in one area for a couple seconds. I don't know. :-/

Halo 3 or Halo reach :), Bioshock <- start from the first one then go on these series are amazing, Devil May Cry 4 (This one was the one that got me to the Devil May Cry titles), Lost Planet, Crysis 1 & 2, Fall Out 3 and Fall Out New Vegas <-- it has hours of fun and gameplay not lying, Fable 1 to 3 <-- Xbox must have game, Assassins Creed, Gears of Wars, Test Drive, Dark Sector(I really recommend this one since it was the first next gen game that was announced for xbox 360 and playstation 3 and it's amazing) If you like me to mention some more drop a comment :) Some of these games have demos for PC which you can try before purchasing the game for the xbox, also I recommend you watch some walkthrough vids on utube to see how the games are and to see if they r eye catching to your taste. answered Jun 14 '11 at 13:36 Patxi |
Devil May Cry 4, Fable 1-3 ( After you beat fable it can get old when the story continues so you need to do different things to keep it interesting ), Left 4 Dead 1 or 2 ( I personally like the 1st one more ), Dead Rising 1 & 2, Orange Box ( which is a collection of 5 games in one which I spend hours on them and its for the price of one ) . depending if you can connect to xbox live free or through paying, They have hundreds of arcade games that you can buy or play a demo of it. There are tons of games. I have over 50 games for the xbox 360. I have a ton of games from the beginning of games to present day. The only game system i dont have is playstation 3. answered Jun 15 '11 at 09:43 Jesse Newsham |
Red Dead Redemption, Halo: Reach, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (November), Battlefield 3 (October, I think), Dead Space 1 & 2, Grand Theft Auto 4, Portal 2 (Only if you don't have it on PC). answered Jun 15 '11 at 13:00 Justin |
I don't own an Xbox 360, yet. My parents don't have that type of money. The games I recommend though are Crysis 2 and Portal 2. With Portal 2, you can play up to 90 people via online. For Cyris 2, I'm not really sure. Both games were giving a rating score of 9.5 of 10 by IGN. So did Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. Call of Duty Black Ops got a rating of 8.6 out of 10 by IGN. If you want to know what rating a 360 game got, just google (e.x.) --> Portal 2 Xbox 360 IGN Review. Then select the link that has stars under neath the link. answered Jun 15 '11 at 13:07 tubadiva95 1) Ratings don't matter. 2) Portal 2 doesn't have competitive multiplayer. The only online multilayer is co-op, and that is just with two people (You and someone else). I'm not sure where you got the 90 from.
(Jun 15 '11 at 14:25)
Call of Duty Black Ops and Halo Reach. As long as the games are popular online they have great value. I have gone 3 months only playing Modern Warfare 2. :D answered Jun 15 '11 at 19:43 Caelan |
Having realised nobody said Gears of war, frankly im worried now. Do yourself a favour and get Gears of war 1. Gears 2 was ok but the first one was amazing. Its exclusive to xbox so get it while you can :D. answered Jun 16 '11 at 04:14 TurkeyTwizzler The first one was on PC.

Special 26 Movie Review and Storyline- Special 26 Rating & Review
The movie, with decent production values and a score to whistle along with, is a mind blowing suspense flick that manages to grab your attention with its strong story and edgy direction....Read More >>
This is one of those times in his career where Akshay Kumar, besides Hera Pheri and OMG: Oh My God!, has managed to select a movie script so suited to his level of performance that it makes you feel he cannot get any better. Special 26 is a movie where stars don't matter and where script is the king, and Akshay has underplayed his role so well that all his overacting of the past is, for once, forgiven.
Special 26 Movie Review!
Special 26 is a con flick, in the manner of an Ocean's Eleven or a Matchstick Men, where Akshay Kumar and his band of merry men (Anupam Kher, Rajesh Sharma, Kishore Kadam) help rich corrupt politicians and businessmen get rid of their excess black wealth by conning them. But even though they con their prey, their own morality seems to be in place as revealed by each of their family stories. And in one such, Kajal Aggarwal plays her brief role well enough.
Know Special 26 Storyline here
Akshay Kumar, Manoj Bajpayee and Anupam Kher are brilliant as con artists in this edgy flick

Allen police have decided not to seek criminal charges in a Collin County road rage incident involving a Dallas police public information officer.
But the internal Dallas police investigation into the incident involving Senior Cpl. Janice Crowther continues.
"There is not enough evidence to support filing of any criminal charges in this case," said Sgt. Jon Felty, an Allen police spokesman, in an email. "The victim does not wish to pursue any charges. The case is inactive as of today."
Since the criminal investigation has ended, Allen police released the police report and 911 recordings related to the Oct. 22 incident which occurred during rush hour traffic at West McDermott Drive and Watters Road.
"She almost ran into the back of my car, slammed onto her brakes in the middle of the road and started screaming and yelling and pulled a gun," Jeffrey Simmons of Frisco told a 911 operator. "I hope she doesn't throw the gun out of her car. I'm telling you this woman is having a real problem…She has a gun and she's going nuts."
Simmons later told police that he did not believe she had pointed it at him. Crowther, who was off duty at the time, denied displaying her weapon at all.
The incident also generated two other 911 calls from other passing motorists.
Debbie Vasinda, another motorist, told an operator that two cars stopped in the middle of the roadway, arguing back and forth at each other and that she thought at one point they were going to get out and fight.
In a frantic 911 call, Kristin Olson of Allen, who was riding with her husband, told an operator that she thought Crowther had pulled a gun on another motorist. "My husband says … she pulled a gun out and pointed it at the gentleman in the car," Olson said. "Jesus Christ, that scared the (epithet) out of me."
Olson later told police that she heard Simmons tell Crowther, "You almost hit me and now you're pulling a gun on me…. You're going down."
She also told police that she didn't actually see a gun. Her husband was not available for police to question, according to police records.
Crowther told Allen police that the disturbance began after Simmons' vehicle abruptly stopped in front of her. She told officers that she laid on her horn and flashed her headlights at Simmons who she said then pulled up even with her and called her profanities and racial epithets.
She told police that the other motorist had threatened her life, stating he "guaran-damn-teed" she would not live to see tomorrow.
When questioned by Allen police, an officer noted that Crowther "acted as if she was unsure if she did not or did not have a gun in her vehicle," the police report states.
After Crowther consented, police searched her vehicle and found a revolver in her shoulder bag on the front passenger floorboard.
Crowther, 48, was hired in 1983 and has been assigned to the police public information office since June 2006. She was previously assigned to the department's internal affairs division.

If you have, how much forced was used, compared to Garath McClearys push on Savage?
Savage fell like he was hit by a truck. And I have been pushed a couple of times during my 23 years, and I know for a fact that it takes much force to get a person to fall over, and I have never been elevated by a push... Savage was 2 feet off the ground! So, diving is a bookable offence, isn't it?
Sure, the push is a yellow card, but that dive is theatrics, and meant to provoke... this in front of the Brian Clough stand, full of Forest fans. It's meant to provoke the crowd, and to provoke a yellow card from the ref.
Just had to get that off my chest. And I'm sure the push Tyson gave him was far worse than the one Garath gave him... didn't fall over that easily when the ref was looking the other way...

I think 'odd' is a good thing. Oddness shows originality, uniqueness and a desire to be different from the masses. Oddness is, maybe, only deemed 'odd' by the majority who are considered less odd but only by their own blinkered observations and understanding. Oddness should never be criticised but be encouraged to nurture, develop individualism and to explore the mind rather than conform to expectation and 'normality'. Many of the world's greatest works of art and prose were born from those minds many considered to be 'odd'.
I was thinking about deleting the whole thing before I posted it, since I know there was a couple of sentences in there that probably could have been better written!

As for the 'pushing' allegation, it's true that Savage represents a number of drama queens who choose to feign injury from the slightest of bumps. It's difficult for the officials to judge the exact extent of force used and Savage is more than renowned for acting it up in the hope of a booking for the alledged assailant. It's a dirty trick and one officials should be wise to.
Google - "Have you ever been pushed by a man? -> search
1 - Ladies, have you ever been hit , pushed, or slapped by a Man
2 - Have you ever been pushed away? I have never seen her like this
3 - Have you ever been pushed into a pool with all your clothes on?
4 - Have you ever been pushed around in a wheelbarrow?
and #8 - Have you ever been to Liverpool?
5 - Did the wheel fall off?

Sorry if I did offend you.
Savage knew he had dived and I suspect that he thought the ref was coming for him for simulating which is why he got off sharpish.
Are bouncers classed as men or trolls?
As anyone got a video of this incident? It wasn't on the BBC Highlights or anywhere else??

Hi I'm new here.
I completely agree that Savage totally dived I watched the incident on the BBc and they were trying to make out he had been punched in the face when he had blatantly been pushed on his right shoulder. He is a cheating ram, who can't even dive convincingly. But in the same incident he can lie all over our team like he was trying to get a bit of bum! Scum bag!

Do a long tap on the applet and you will see popup menu which can: * Block onscreen keyboard from appearing * Copy selection to clipboard (useful for N800 owners, which doesn't have Ctrl+C, in apps that doesn't provide Copy menu, for example, Pidgin chat history window)
Note for N80 users: if you notice that LayoutSwithcer displays incorrect layout, switch layout once using virtual keyboard and you will get it fixed. You need to do it obly once.
There is also version for OS2006 at the project page at garage. It switches layouts with the tap on statusbar icon, which is easier than 770's native method.

We're proud to present the first preview build of Opera Mobile 10 for Nokia N8X0.
This Maemo version of Opera Mobile 10 was created as a hobby project by a small team of developers in their spare time. As such, it has not undergone our usual quality assurance processes, and at times may not feel as polished or complete as an official release. This also means that there may never be a "final" release of Opera Mobile 10 for Maemo devices, since it's just that much more fun to add shiny new features rather than fixing boring old bugs.
There are a number of known issues with this build, listed below:
•Adobe Flash and other plugins are not supported.
•Screen tearing may be visible when panning, especially in portrait mode. We expect to fix this in a future update.
•The built-in on-screen keyboard is not supported. Use the physical keyboard or the on screen keyboard included with Opera Mobile.
•There is no power management support. In practice this means that if you open a page with animations and leave Opera running, you will soon be using a payphone. Power is drained even when Opera is running in the background and/or the screen is turned off.
•If you set Opera as the default browser, for example by installing the Browser Switchboard, an extra empty tab will get opened every time you open a link from an external application.

Optotraffic is an industry leader in deploying automated speed and red light enforcement systems in safety enforcement zones such as schools. In addition to the obvious risk for children when vehicles are speeding in school zones, during the past decade at least 120 school crossing guards nationwide have been killed while on duty. With enforcement provided for over 250 schools in Prince George's County, Maryland alone, our team has the expertise to increase public safety in your jurisdiction for children, adults and motorists alike.
For example, a recent independent study in four Maryland suburban municipalities showed a consistent - sometimes dramatic - reduction in vehicle speed and accidents when our automated speed enforcement systems are used near schools. All four jurisdictions using Optotraffic systems showed safety improvement, including in one case, a nearly 900 percent increase in drivers obeying the posted speed limit.

Recently, there has been an industry wide increase in Debit Card fraud involving criminals who have created counterfeit debit cards. Rest assured that your information at PFFCU is safe and no information has been stolen from Police and Fire Federal Credit Union, but rather from merchants and their processors. The counterfeit debit cards are being used to make purchases at merchants such as Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Lowes, Target and Giant. The criminals are signing for the transactions instead of using a PIN. The PIN information has not been compromised and that is why the criminals must sign for the transaction when using the debit card.
In order to minimize fraud and safeguard your accounts, PFFCU will require members to enter their PIN number when making debit card purchases at certain merchants, including Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Lowes, Target and Giant. Many merchants already require you to enter your PIN number when you swipe your debit card. By using the Debit PIN option to make your purchase, you are protecting your account with an additional layer of security.
After swiping your card in the merchant's card reader at the stores above, you should be prompted to enter your PIN. If the payment screen does not prompt you for your PIN number, please ask the salesperson for assistance to arrive at the screen for entering your PIN. If you try to conduct a transaction and are declined, please ask the salesperson to resubmit the transaction so you are required to enter your PIN.
If you have any questions, please contact us at 215-931-0300 or 800-228-8801 and we will be happy to help you.

When I try to install a lensprofile 14 mm canonwith the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader in the window I see the message that is installed, but when I try to launch it in camera raw (with CS6) I cannot find the profile (I downloade the 14 mm Canon)
Lens profiles in Camera-raw and Lightroom are specific to RAW or non-RAW. Does the profile type listed in LPD match the type of images you are attempting to apply the correction to? I believe the lens-corrections area in Photoshop will let you see any profile regardless of image-type (nothing in Photoshop, itself, can be RAW data, still) so if you aren't sure if the profile installed correctly or not, then check to see if it is listed in Photoshop, itself. If it is, then make sure your image type matches the profile type.
In LPD, is the profile listed as RAW or non-RAW?
Is the image you are applying the profile to RAW or non-RAW?
Is your camera a full-frame camera (5D) but the profile is listed for a crop-frame camera (xxxD, 7D, etc)?
If you are on Windows, check the following location to see if the file is there:
C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles and its subfolders
The AppData folder is hidden so you may not see it in Explorer but you can type in the name in the Explorer address bar and hit Enter after you're in your username's folder.
If the file seems to be under the 1.0 sub-folder, it's possible the index file is corrupted, so you might try deleting Index.dat and let Photoshop rebuild it the next time you start it up.

Friday 24 May 2013
By Melanie Gerlis. Web onlyPublished online: 05 December 2012
Raphael's late chalk drawing, Head of a Young Apostle, around 1519-20, sold at Sotheby's in London tonight (5 December) for £29.7m, doubling its £10m-£15m estimate (which does not include the buyer's premium, although the final price does). This is the highest price paid for a work by the artist at auction, narrowly beating the £29.2m made by his Head of a Muse (another chalk drawing), around 1511, at Christie's at the equivalent London sales in 2009. The work was sold by the Duke of Devonshire in order to fund the costs of running his stately home at Chatsworth in Derbyshire and benefit its collection. The drawing had been at Chatsworth for more than 300 years. Meanwhile, there was disappointment for the duke as one of the other three works he was selling this evening—a 1465 illuminated manuscript commissioned by Philip the Good, La Mystère de la Vengeance—went unsold (estimate £4m-£6m). But a second manuscript, the Deeds of Sir Gillion de Trazegnies in the Middle East, 1464, sold for £3.8m (est £3m-£5m), bought by the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles.
