Tap to send pics to S3 - question/problem
Finally, one of my friends picked up an S3. We tried to send pictures by touching the phones back to back. The phones vibrated, the screen instructed me to 'tap to send' but ultimately, nothing happened.
Any tips or tricks to get this to work?

Re: Tap to send pics to S3 - question/problem
Even the setting in "more options"? Just making sure it doesn't hurt.. and i tried looking and found nothing yet but you should check if the transfer of pictures using the tap feature is supported between verizon and at&t.. it'd be stupid if it wasn't but you could always just check

SALEM - Heritage quarterback and Football Friday Player of the Year finalist JeVontae Parrish ran for two touchdowns and threw for one more in the Pioneers' 24-16 win over Salem in the Division Four state semifinals. It was Salem's first loss this year.
Heritage, which improves to 12-and-1 on the season, will face two-time defending champ Briar Woods after they beat Courtland 45-15. Heritage will be shooting for just its second state football title in school history, the first coming in 2002.
Heritage coach Brad Bradley will be going for his third state title as a head coach following two titles with William Campbell. Saturday's Salem-Heritage game was their first meeting since 1998. Bradley, a Salem alumnus, was coaching for the first time against his former Salem teammate, Spartans head coach Stephen Magenbauer.
Game highlights and post game interviews will be on ABC 13 following the Texas-Kansas State game Saturday night.

Brittany Norwood: Prosecutors seek life in prison for Norwood in Lululemon case
(AP, ABC7) - Prosecutors in Montgomery County plan to seek a sentence of life without parole if a woman charged with killing a co-worker at an upscale yoga clothing shop is convicted of first-degree murder.
Brittany Norwood is awaiting trial in the March death of Jayna Murray at the Lululemon Athletica shop in Bethesda.
State's Attorney John McCarthy sent Norwood's attorney Douglas Wood a letter outlining his office's intention this week.
Norwood's attorney did not return a call seeking comment Friday. Norwood's trial is scheduled for October 24 in Montgomery County Circuit Court.
The murder of Murray sent shockwaves through the area because of the brutality of the slaying and the twists and turns the case took. When Norwood and Murray were discovered, Norwood told authorities she and the victim had been sexually assaulted by unknown assailants, police said.
"I don't think she has any basis to not get life in prison. I mean it's horrific. It shocked everyone," said Potomac resident Michelle Eglovitch.
Authorities later announced that Norwood concocted the story and was responsible for beating Murray to death.
The struggle between the two women may have lasted more than 20 minutes and the blows to Murray's head were too numerous to count. Her skull was fractured and spinal cord severed by a wound that extended through her neck.
"It hurt not only the people involved but it's a community and when you hear something like that happen so close to you everyone's affected," said Bethesa resident Justin Johnson.
Authorities said that on the day of the slaying, at her manager's request, Murray looked in Norwood's personal bag and found stolen merchandise.

Wall border sticker
This five foot wide removable Superman wall border features the unparalleled superhero in a variety of exciting poses. For use by itself or with the matching stickers also offered here, it is a genuinely original way to design a young boy's bedroom or play area without having to break out the paint brushes, stencils, or even cleaning supplies. Simply apply with ease and remove when it's time to change it up. The wall border leaves no sticky residue on your walls and will not lift paint, as long as applied when paint is very dry. Reapply at will or store until the time comes to use it again.
These stickers will work on just about any surface, but take care with wallpaper or some delicate surfaces. If in doubt, test in an inconspicuous place prior to applying all the stickers. Also, wait 10 to 15 days after painting before using stickers. Though the paint feels dry, it needs adequate time to "cure." As with any adhesive product, these will work much better on clean surfaces free of dust and the like. Specifically, they will work well on surfaces including but not limited to walls, mirrors, your fridge, laptop covers, tile, glass, lockers, furniture, and automotive surfaces.

Worth is always highly subjective on any topic. If you want us to tell you if it's worth it to you or not you need to give us your criteria so we know where you draw the line. I'd say no and I dropped Asurion for Applecare+ but I have no clue if my needs/wants/budget/priorities/preferences are in line with your own so my feedback isn't necessarily relevant to you. You need to decide based on your own priorities.
Seriously? Read the terms. I'll give you one but the info is out there for your to compare. Asurion covers loss and theft. Applecare+ does not. |

The Elemental Metagame
By Nicolas Carpenter
Special note: Each State of the Game article presents the opinions and insights of one game observer. These observations are personal in nature and do not reflect the opinions of ArenaNet. While ArenaNet does review each State of the Game article to assure that it offers content that is respectful of all players, we intend to allow our reporters the freedom to inject some personal opinion into descriptions of the current atmosphere of competitive play in Guild Wars, and to express views based on their experience and observation.
Throughout the history of GvG, the Elementalist has played a key role in almost any build. Some teams bring Elementalists for the AoE fire damage, while others use Elementalists for damage negation. Elementalists have also always been extremely useful for running flags. For an interesting read on the situation of Elementalists before Nightfall, check out Adam's analysis and predictions and see how close he got.
The Prophecies Elementalist
Elementalists two years ago relied on just a few elite skills in GvG, as both flag stand players and as runners. Ether Prodigy was by far the popular choice, because it was the only viable elite (unless using a secondary profession).
The common runner Skill Bar consisted of:
Elementalist/Monk Ether Prodigy Gale Heal Party Blinding Flash Healing Breeze Lightning Orb Lightning Strike Windborne Speed
This Elementalist flag runner could easily solo any archer or footman, had a decent speed boost, and was extremely helpful with its limitless Heal Party spammability due to the Energy flow of Ether Prodigy. It was the most popular runner until Guild Wars Factions came out and a plethora of skill combinations became available to runners.
Flag stand Elementalists were usually warders with Earth Magic, though some were Air Magic for Blinding Flash and spiking targets with Lightning Orb.
A common Earth Elementalist flag stand build consisted of:
Elementalist/Monk Earth Attunement Ward Against Melee Ward Against Foes Obsidian Flame Stone Daggers Aegis Glyph of Energy Resurrection Signet
The Earth warder at the stand kept up defensive wards and an Aegis to impede attacking Warriors. Also, Ward Against Foes bogged down enemy flag runners to get needed morale boosts.
Fire and Water Elementalists did not enjoy much play time in GvG before Guild Wars Factions and Guild Wars Nightfall. Fire Elementalists simply did not have many viable options. High damage skills like Meteor Shower and Firestorm could be kited out of easily, leaving only skills like Rodgort's Invocation and Fireball. These did the same or less damage than flag stand Earth or Air builds, but at the cost of reduced defense. Water Elementalists also had no viable elite to use, and the metagame at the time preferred high damage characters over the damage negation Water Elementalists specialized in.
Fast Forward Two Years
The Elementalist is currently seeing much more use than in its Prophecies days. Most teams utilize a Water runner, while others like a Monk runner. Almost every team has some form of Water Elementalist in their build. The metagame has shifted from favoring extremely high damage pressure teams to defensive builds. Teams have found that Water snares are an excellent way of stopping Warriors and Dervishes in their tracks, and grinding runners down to a halt. Blurred Vision is thrown around at every opportunity, heedless of Energy cost. The high pressure [KGYU] and [Fish] builds sent almost every guild turtling back to the lord within the first five minutes of the match. Teams needed a way to slow enemy offense down, and Water Hexes were the key.
Fire Elementalists were finally given an altar of glory as well. Two Fire skills introduced in Guild Wars Nightfall, Savannah Heat and Searing Flames, made the Fire Elementalist a force to be reckoned with, if not downright terrified of. Many teams run two Fire Elementalists, each carrying the same elite. Searing Flames is a skill that usually requires at least two copies in a build because it depends on Burning to do any damage. It's also not uncommon to see a Burning Arrow Ranger paired with a Searing Flames Elementalist to take care of the Burning prerequisite. Savannah Heat, in contrast, works with just one Elementalist at the flag stand and can generate massive amounts of pressure by itself.
Here's a standard Savannah Heat Elementalist build:
Elementalist/any Savannah Heat Teinai's Heat Fireball Liquid Flame Gale Flame Djinn's Haste Fire Attunement Resurrection Signet
This bar unleashes intense AoE pressure at the flag stand, and can descend in spikes or eliminate low-Health targets with Fireball and Liquid Flame. Gale can trap targets in the Heat skills, or stall runners and snare Monks. Flame Djinn's Haste has powerful point-blank damage, and also turns this Elementalist into a backup flag runner.
Elementalists have always had the highest ranged damage skills in the game, so let's not forget their usefulness in a full spike build. Over the last two years, teams have run many different types of spikes from Fire, Earth, and Air. Other than brief flirtations with Vapor Blade and Shatterstone, Water hasn't yet seen its spike phase because it doesn't have the quick cast and high damage skills needed for a spike.
When it comes to Earth, the massive armor-ignoring damage of Obsidian Flame is the no-brainer choice for spiking. Obsidian Flame can spike down hard targets like Warriors (and Rangers, which otherwise have high armor versus elements). Earth also has an amazing array of defensive skills. An Earth spike build commonly has at least one of each of the non-elite wards. Ward Against Melee, Foes, Elements, and Ward of Stability add much needed defense to the soft target Elementalists. Earth also has many Enchantment spells that serve to make the Elementalist like a Warrior tank. Armor of Earth adds up to 62 Armor to an Elementalist, at the cost of only 12% slower movement at 16 Earth Magic. Stoneflesh Aura reduces all damage by up to 33, and players can keep it constantly active, like Armor of Earth. Stone Striker functions well with Elementalists who choose to wear full armor vs. Earth inscriptions. These three skills make Earth Elementalists almost invincible, especially in synergy with wards.
The Fire Elementalist has seen its share of the Searing Flames spikes in the last few seasons. Mainly labeled as a "gimmick" build, this build has five to six Fire Elementalists, each with Searing Flames as an elite. This skill does 119 fire damage at 16 Fire Magic, is a one-second cast, and has a two second cooldown. Five to six Elementalists spamming this skill at once do overwhelming damage. The first spike delivers up to 595 damage to a single target, and the follow-up spike three seconds later can do a staggering 714 damage. This is without taking into account that this skill is AoE, and will obliterate any teammates standing near the intended target. The weakness of this build is that it does not have the defense of an Earth spike, and the Elementalists fall fast if they fail to demolish the opposing team.
Common Uses of Elementalists Now
In this current metagame, the Elementalist is usually an Air or Water caster.
The Air Elementalist
Air is popular because it can repeatedly Blind targets with ease. At 14 Air Magic, Blinding Flash Blinds for ten seconds and has a four second recharge. The elite skill Blinding Surge Blinds a target for ten seconds, does 47 damage, and has 25% armor penetration. It also has the added bonus that if the intended target is under an Enchantment, then adjacent foes also become Blinded. With its ten Energy cast and four second recharge, this skill effectively shuts down any Ranger, Warrior, or Paragon. The only target it has a tough time with is the Dervish, since most teams have taken to running Melandru Dervishes to counter exactly this Blinding Surge Elementalist.
Aside from Blinding, the Air Elementalist participates in spikes with Lightning Orb, and follows up with Blinding Surge or Lightning Strike. The Air Elementalist also makes a candidate for flag runner. This is because the Air Elementalist now has a flag running skill that is much better than Windborne Speed. Storm Djinn's Haste stays active for 24 seconds before needing to be recast, with a 33% faster speed boost. This turns an Elementalist into a flag-running machine. Give this Elementalist the added benefit of 60+ Energy, high damage, a Blinding skill, and Gale and you've got a fast and versatile runner.
However, these blind-bots have recently declined in popularity with the rise of Mending Touch on physical characters. Someday, we might see them vanish altogether, and people will stop bringing Mending Touch, and the blind-bots will sneak back in...
The Water Elementalist
Water Magic has finally come into its own in the current metagame. Dervishes and Warriors can completely wreak havoc on your team with the amount of pressure and damage they can both apply. Buffs to skills like Crippling Slash have transformed the Warrior into a DPS machine again. It's not nearly as common to see Axe Warriors anymore because of the Melandru's Dervish with Wearying Strike. This skill turned the Dervish into a pseudo Eviscerate Warrior, except it can spam Deep Wound every six seconds, potentially on multiple targets. Because of this and other evolutions in the metagame, teams turned to defense. The answer was a widespread plea to the Water Elementalist.
Better than any other profession, the Water Elementalist can completely shut down a team of offensive characters. The Water Elementalist does this with Hex snares and Blurred Vision. With smart usage, a player can maximize the AoE of Water Magic and hit more than one character. Blurred Vision makes a target miss 50% of the time, lasts for 19 seconds at 14 Water Magic, and is AoE. Deep Freeze and Ice Spikes are both effective AoE Hex snares that both do decent damage, enough to bolster a mixed spike. Deep Freeze has the bonus of snaring for longer periods than Ice Spikes, but at the sacrifice of a longer cast time and 25 Energy cost. With Nightfall also came the skill Icy Shackles, the best snare in the game. Icy Shackles has a unconditional 66% slower snare, increased to 90% slower if the target is Enchanted. Icy Shackles lasts for ten seconds at 14 Water, and has a 12 second recharge with a one-second cast. This skill alone can stop runners dead in their tracks, or can snare a Monk when the opposing team tries to fall back or make a push.
The Water Elementalist has become the most common runner, because it can so effectively shutdown a team when it is at the flag stand.
Here is the most common Water Elementalist runner build:
Elementalist/Ritualist Icy Shackles Freezing Gust Armor of Mist Deep Freeze Blurred Vision Wielder's Boon Weapon of Warding Glyph of Lesser Energy
This bar shows up on Observer Mode at any time of the day or night. It's just that good. Icy Shackles is an elite snare; Freezing Gust is also a useful snare with respectable pressure damage (mainly because of the fast recharge, though the Energy cost prohibits prolonged spamming). Deep Freeze snares multiple targets, while Blurred Vision shuts down melee extremely well. The combo of the two Ritualist skills, Weapon of Warding and Wielder's Boon, make this character almost invincible against two to three targets, especially if the Elementalist has backed into friendly NPCs. Armor of Mist received a small buff a short while back, and has since seen much more usage with its speed boost and the added armor it gives.
The Future of the Elementalist
This game is in perpetual flux as players develop new builds to counter existing ones. Some aspects, however, remain constant. The Elementalist has been around since the beginning, and won't be leaving any time soon. No other single character offers so much utility value from the diverse options of high Energy and damage mitigation. It's an exciting time for Elementalists; and who knows where they'll go next!

The last two nights I've talked about taking Casey to the Hall of Fame some day.
I said baseball can't erase the steroid era, it happened. The stats count. The players are on the ballot. Players like Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens not only represent the best of the steroid era, but the best to ever play the game. The game must recognize this era in baseball history, as embarrassing as it may be.
We should be able to look at the plaque of a Clemens and Bonds and read their accomplishments, while also reading the controversy attached to their career.
Derrick Goold, of the St Louis Post Dispatch, actually wrote the plaques for the likes of Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, Pete Rose and others. What is the downside?
Seeking full disclosure at Hall of Fame
Derrick Goold, St Louis Post Dispatch
Pete Rose's plaque:
Cincinnati, N.L., 1963-1978, 1984-86
Philadelphia, N.L., 1979-1983
Montreal, N.L., 1984
During a hard-charging career that earned him the nickname "Charlie" Hustle and spawned an entire generation of headfirst-sliding ballplayers, he established the all-time career hit record with 4,256 hits. A career .303 hitter, he won three batting titles, was selected to 17 All-Star Games, and won both the Rookie of the Year award in 1963 and an Most Valuable Player award in 1973. In 1989, he accepted a lifetime ban from baseball in response to claims he bet on baseball, including his own team. More than a decade later, he admitted to gambling on baseball.
Bengals were--and are---one year away
Dan Hoard
Look, nobody knows for sure if Andy is going to develop into one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL, but I do think that his career if off to an outstanding start – especially when you consider that he inherited a team that was 4-12 the year before he arrived.
Browns interview Mike Zimmer
Cleveland Plain Dealer
Zimmer, 56, has long been respected as a coordinator, but has never been an NFL head coach. Last year, he interviewed for jobs with the Dolphins and Buccaneers, but received no offers and ultimately signed an extension with the Bengals.

Tailgate32.comThe Nati is up next for the crew, and things get started with a tailgate miracle courtesy of the Bengal Bomb Squad. Game day brings another round of surprises, from 5AM MC Hammer wakeup calls to goetta to the ceremonial burning of Carson Palmer jerseys, Mike and John get a real taste of the lives of the Bengals faithful.
A Brian Kelly jump to NFl would rock Notre Dame
For Philadelphia, there is risk all over this one. Kelly doesn't have a single day of NFL experience, either as a player or a coach. At the same time there's a simple and powerful angle to sell the fan base. Kelly wins. Everywhere. And he did it at programs that either hadn't ever achieved such success, or in the case of Notre Dame, not seen it for years.
Tuberville an unfair target?
"Yellow Journalism" is a term used in media for a situation where the reporter presents little or no well-researched news and instead uses eye catching headlines to sell his product. Tommy Tuberville may be the victim of such a tactic both in print media and the on radio.
Shannon Russell has XU notes and a story about Brad Redford's hometown helping Sandy Hook.
Let's face it: Hall of Fame is a mess
Jayson Stark, ESPN
It boggles the mind. Doesn't it? We were just presented the most star-studded Hall of Fame ballot in maybe 75 years. And NOBODY got elected?
It's enough to make you wonder: What kind of Hall of Fame are we building here?
Scrubbing of character clause among first reforms HOF needs
This wasn't just a referendum on steroids. It was one on the writers and their failure to recognize as long as they want the privilege of creating history, they must in doing so protect the worthy institution that finds them fit for the task. And considering the backlash following Wednesday's revelation that it wasn't just Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens who didn't pass muster but Craig Biggio, Jeff Bagwell, Mike Piazza and so many others, the 10-year members of the Baseball Writers Association of America with Hall of Fame votes seem not to care about the damage they're doing.
Baseball's day of big weirdness
Wall Street Journal
There are days when baseball reminds people why it has captivated them for so many years. And there are days when baseball embarrasses itself. This wasn't either one of those kinds of days. This was just weird, awkward, at once uncomfortable and entertaining in a rubbernecking sort of way.
Piazza and Bagwell victims of writers' witch hunt
Bob Klapisch, NorthJersey.com
I can't think of a bleaker moment in the history of the Baseball Writers' Association of America, which on Wednesday used the Hall of Fame ballot as a vehicle to the Joe McCarthy Era. It's not so much that Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens were kept out — I understand that argument — but it's the witch-hunt mentality that destroyed innocents like Mike Piazza and Jeff Bagwell.
Time to overhaul the system
If the Cooperstown gatekeepers seek to take the vote away from the baseball writers association, I'm completely OK with that. The media's job should be to provide coverage and perspective on news, not be the news. It's why most major newspapers, including The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, no longer allow writers to vote in college football polls or season awards.
Bonds, Clemens will get it. Bet on it.
Jim Litke, AP
Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens will get into the Hall of Fame someday, and without using the side entrance, either.
It won't be because people forget, or even forgive, but because they won't care anymore. Everybody in every sport will be on some kind of performance-enhancer by then, the way they're all on "approved" supplements already. That day hasn't arrived, but you can see it from here.
Statement of Michael Weiner regarding today's Hall of Fame election results
La Jolla, CA, Wednesday, January 9, 2013 ... Major League Baseball Players
Association Executive Director Michael Weiner today issued the following
statement regarding the Baseball Hall of Fame's election results.
"Today's news that those members of the BBWAA afforded the
privilege of casting ballots failed to elect even a single
player to the Hall of Fame is unfortunate, if not sad. Those
empowered to help the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum document
the history of the game failed to recognize the contributions
of several Hall of Fame worthy players. To ignore the historic
accomplishments of Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens, for example,
is hard to justify. Moreover, to penalize players exonerated
in legal proceedings -- and others never even implicated -- is
simply unfair. The Hall of Fame is supposed to be for the best
players to have ever played the game. Several such players
were denied access to the Hall today. Hopefully this will be
rectified by future voting."
Your 2013 Hall of Fame Class: Nobody (8th time overall, 1st time 1996)
Craig Biggo earned 68% of vote, falling short of induction by 39 votes.
Morris 67.7%
Bagwell 59.6
Piazza 57.8
Raines 52.2
L. Smith 47.7
Schilling 38.8%
Clemens 37.6
Bonds 36.2
E. Martines 35.9
Sosa 12.5
First time additions to next year's class includes: Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, Frank Thomas, Mike Mussina and Jeff Kent.

Top 10 Prospects
Baseball America
After cultivating a talented farm system, the Reds are reaping the dividends, with homegrown players like Jay Bruce, Johnny Cueto and Joey Votto serving as franchise cornerstones. The revitalization has been slow and steady. The Reds had one of the least-talented systems in baseball for most of the late 1990s and much of the early 2000s, largely because of poor drafts.

CNET Editors' note: The Download Now link will direct you to the developer's site where you will be offered an installer file corresponding to your OS.
CNET Editors' review
Previously known as MSN Messenger, Windows Live Messenger is Microsoft's answer to instant messaging. While largely the same as its predecessor, Windows Live Messenger is unique for allowing you to share folders and files locally with fellow users. It also serves up the usual animated emoticons, winks, and buzzes, along with multiplayer gaming, free PC-to-PC calling, mobile phone messaging, and video chatting. Plus it adds VoIP capabilities that let you call telephones around the world for a fee. Its one major omission, though, is it lacks the capability to receive inbound calls from landlines or cell phones, a service that competitor Yahoo Messenger with Voice offers.
Once installed, Windows Live Messenger displays a drop-down menu of features along the top, contacts within the center pane, a search box on the bottom, and tabs for eBay, Rhapsody, and other services along the left. Microsoft fans will like the integration with MSN Spaces and the company's other properties. Also a plus is that Windows Live Messenger and Yahoo Live Messenger now let you directly connect with buddies who use either tool. To do so in the past, you'd have to use a tool such as Trillian.
We like Windows Live Messenger's Sharing Folders feature, which lets you to transfer files to and from your buddy's computer by displaying a mirror of each others' files on your desktops. The service can also store hundreds of contacts, and with a Webcam installed, you can make video chats with a full 640x480-pixel screen. In fact, we recommend Windows Live Messenger's video chat over that of other IM tools. Anyone who is entrenched within the Microsoft world will probably be best served by this particular IM client.
Windows Live Messenger:Publisher's Description
From Microsoft:
Windows Live Messenger includes support for the im Initiative! Every time you start a conversation using im, Microsoft shares a portion of the program's advertising revenue with some of the world's most effective organizations dedicated to social causes. So any time you have an im conversation using Windows Live Messenger, you help address the issues you feel most passionate about. It's simple. All you have to do is join and start an instant messaging conversation.
Key Features: Call your friends' PC (free), mobile or landline phones. Calls require a microphone and speakers or a headset and broadband connection. Make calls for less than $.02 a minute to most places around the world with Verizon Web Calling. Start a video conversation within minutes with a webcam. Drop in photos and other stuff for friends in a Sharing Folder, as many as your computer can handle. With Windows Live Messenger you can now connect with your Yahoo! IM contacts.

"IMPOSSIBLE to Uninstall!"
Version: Windows Live Messenger 14.0.8117.0416
When I used it, it was a nice feature, but IM'ing has become an outdated service for me.
Do not want this on my computer, I don't use it nor have any need for it any longer and wish to uninstall it, which so far has proven to be an impossible process.

"Avoid at all costs"
Version: Windows Live Messenger 14.0.8117.0416
None whatsoever
This is why I want to give up on Windows Live Messenger completely. It is almost impossible to install and uninstall. The whole process is utterly infuriating. For some bizarre reason, Messenger has decided not to co-operate, and I can no longer open it. It is clearly not installed on my system anymore. However, whenever I try to reinstall it, I'm blocked, as I am falsely told that I already have it installed? And, you can forget about support. Forums are just another word for "Accountability avoidance". Grrr!!
Utterly infuriating and illogical install process and no support.
"Live Messenger 11 is a failure"
Version: Windows Live Messenger 14.0.8117.0416
Slick and pretty interface
Operates smoothly
Integrates facebook
Option to block contacts removed.
Bloated with ads, need to use A-Patch to remove ad ware.
Ugly emoticons.
Deleted contacts can still contact you.
Display name is tied to your hotmail account and will not allow use of alias' anymore.
Adding contacts doesn't work sometimes.Summary
Live messenger used to be known as MSN messenger and it used to be a nice chat program. Now it's become sadly disappointing. Considering the amount of money and technical power Microsoft has at its command it is truly shocking something as awful as Live Messenger can come out of that organisation especially as they had something good before.
Now we have a chat client full of ads, an interface that automatically opens a gratuitous Windows Live portal window, you can no longer block contacts, adding new contacts sometimes fails and the list goes on.
Recommend to use something else instead eg Pidgin and wait for MS to hopefully release something decent in Live Messenger 12. -

Asics Gel Lyte III – Navy – Orange – White
March 26th, 2013 by Brendan Dunne | No comments
Remember all those Asics Gel Lyte III and Gel Saga pairs that we previewed from the Spring 2013 lineup? The last one of the group is finally here-the Asics Gel Lyte III in this navy based get up. The pair gets some dark orange upgrades underneath the sidestrips and the split-tongue padding set up, a contrastive boost that we recently lamented the lack of. See a full set of angles for this Asics Gel Lyte III retro right after the jump and be advised that they're already up for grabs at Euro NSW account Titolo.

I had this perfume years ago but stopped wearing it when I didn't see it in stores anymore. That sucked because I'm a Love's girl and was sad to see Frenzy disappearing from the stores. I did a Google search for it and found it here. And for a great price! Please keep carrying my Frenzy! It reminds me of Sand and Sable mixed with Chloe! Yummmm.

Very light fragrance. Geared mostly to teenagers. Scent doesn't last very long.

I wore this fragrance a lot in junior high in the mid-90's; I had graduated from Love's Soft Jasmin and wanted something a little more adult. This made me feel very trendy. It's definitely different: a hard-edged floral, if it can even be called a floral. It has a little spice to it, but I could never figure out exactly what it was made of. It made me think of a rebel/rocker type, so I felt so confident with it on. It's not that light, and on me it was kind of strong. It's a very individualistic perfume. Not bad, just different.

Giant Panda blood contains a powerful antibiotic, kills drug-resistant bacteria (Video)
The Telegraph reports a substance found in the blood of endangered Giant Pandas could lead to new antibiotic weapons in the fight against human extinction.
Researchers in China discovered Giant Panda blood contains a powerful antibiotic compound that can destroy in one hour the same bacteria that takes other well-known antibiotics six hours to kill.
Luckily there is no need to harvest the antibiotic from the protected creatures. The compound — a peptide called cathelicidin-AM believed to be produced by immune cells — has been artificially synthesized in a lab, scientists say.
They believe the discovery can be "used to create potent new treatments against drug resistant superbugs and other diseases...or as an antiseptic for cleaning surfaces and utensils," reports The Telegraph.
Lead researcher Dr. Xiuwen Yan says the peptide: "showed potential antimicrobial activities against a wide spectrum of microorganisms including bacteria and fungi, both standard and drug-resistant strains."
Baby panda ceremony: San Diego Zoo's giant panda cub named 'Little Gift'
Photo by Ken Bohn/San Diego Zoo
The San Diego Zoo unveiled the name of the sixth giant panda born at the Zoo during a public ceremony on Tuesday Nov. 13, 2012. Rick Gulley (left) president of the San Diego Zoo Global Board of Trustees and Ron Swaisgood, Ph.D. (right), co-head of the Giant Panda Team for San Diego Zoo Global, revealed a photo of the cub showing his name - Xiao Liwu. The name means "little gift." Pronunciation is sshyaoww (falling then rising tone) lee (falling then rising tone) woo (falling tone).
The San Diego Zoo's new baby panda has an official name — Xiao Liwu or "Little Gift."
The public naming ceremony took place Nov. 13 (watch the video below), 100 days after his birth, per Chinese tradition. Earlier this month, officials released unrelentingly adorable footage of the giant baby poof getting his 11th veterinary exam. There was much squealing and prancing. On both sides of the computer.
A San Diego Zoo blog post on Tuesday's ceremony's details a performance of costumed dancers and praise from the consulate-general of the People's Republic of China, Qiu Shaofang, regarding the Zoo's giant panda conservation efforts.
According to the official release, the Zoo received more than 7,000 name submissions for the panda cub, which were narrowed down to six choices. Nearly 35,000 votes were registered via public, online voting. The winning name, Xiao Liwu, described the cub as "a precious, little gift to our world.
San Diego Zoo's new baby panda video is 56 seconds of unbearable mirth
Screenshot via YouTube
This is not an illusion. This is a real animal.
Like 1,ooo cotton balls squished together with eyes and claws, the San Diego Zoo's new baby panda video is cuter than whatever you are doing at this moment. (Watch the video below.)
San Diego Zoo officials released the new footage Thursday of the baby poof who will one day become a giant getting his 11th veterinary exam. There is squealing and prancing and camera mugging and tickling, and don't be alarmed if hyperventilating occurs (yours, not the panda) during the viewing.
He who shall not be named — until 100 days after his birth, per Chinese tradition — is the sixth giant panda born at the San Diego Zoo. His arrival set the current record for the most giant panda cubs born at a breeding facility outside of China.
Voting on the special creature's name has ended, but a public naming ceremony is planned for Nov. 13.

Filters that help control particulate and microorganisms in water used in the winery.
Water can be used in a variety of applications in the winery, including tank and equipment washing and rinsing, as well as flushing, warm water regenerating, or hot water sanitizing lenticular style depth filters in the cellar, or microporous membrane filters on the bottling line. For general applications, water should be free of residual chlorine and particulate. However, water used to rinse, regenerate or sanitize filters in the wine making process itself often benefits from additional, submicronic filtration to prevent small particles and microorganisms present in the water from prematurely fouling the wine filters.

BUFFALO IS THE FIRST TO TEN: Buffalo became the first MAC school to reach the 10-win plateau when the Bulls won a non-conference game at Canisius. UB is currently on a 10-game winning streak, and will attempt to make it 11 when it hosts Ohio in the league opener for the Bulls on Wednesday. The 10-game streak is the longest in school history.
THE NON-CONFERENCE LOOK: After the first seven weeks of the season, the Mid-American Conference has posted a 59-73 non-conference record, which translates into a .447 winning percentage. That mark also includes an 0-8 record against nationally-ranked opponents.
A LOOK AT THE RPI: In the weekly installment of the College Basketball News Women's RPI Report (through games of Jan. 2), the Mid-American Conference was ranked No. 17 among the 32 Division I conferences. The MAC had two schools in the top-100 -- Kent (No. 60), Buffalo (No. 100) -- and 10 of the 13 schools in the top 200.
TWO END ABOVE CENTURY MARK: As the 20th century came to a close, two league schools eclipsed the 100 point barrier. Kent and Ohio each scored 103 points en route to home wins, one of which extended the Golden Flashes' home winning streak to 23 straight games. The Bobcats, who have an above .500 winning percentage for the first time since the 1997-98 season, eclipsed the century mark for the first time since they tallied 122 points versus Canisius during the 1995-96 campaign.
BOWLES REACHES A GRAND: In the team's win versus Southeastern Louisiana on Dec. 28, Akron junior center Cheryl Bowles became the seventh player in Zips history to top the 1,000 point plateau. In two games following a 30-point outburst on Dec. 28, Bowles has climbed to fifth all-time with 1,053.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO BSU: Ball State entered the holiday break with an above .500 record for the first time in five years. After 12 games Ball State is 8-4, compared to last year when the Cardinals owned a 4-8 record.
WOODS CONTINUES TO SCORE: Central Michigan senior Shelly Woods is inching closer to the 1,000 career point plateau. She enters the week with 908, which is fourth among active players in the conference. Woods leads CMU in scoring and ranks seventh among the MAC leaders with a 15.3 scoring average.
BG IS LOOKING FOR A LEAD: Bowling Green, which has a 414-259 overall record in its 26th season of play, has an advantage in the all-time series with 11 of the 12 league schools, and the 12th school -- Buffalo -- is tied in the series at 1-1. The Falcons will look to avenge the team's worst loss in conference history, an 84-51 defeat in Buffalo last year. Saturday's game between the two schools will mark UB's first-ever appearance to Anderson Arena.
STUDER IS STUPENDOUS: Kent's Julie Studer opened MAC play for the Golden Flashes by scoring a career-high 26 points versus Bowling Green. The junior center also added eight rebounds and connected on 79 percent of her shots from the floor (11-of-14). For the week, Studer averaged 21.7 points and 5.3 rebounds per contest in a little over 21 minutes of action per game.
A FIRST FOR THE BULLS: In its sixth year of play in Division I and second in the MAC, Buffalo claimed its first-ever tournament title over the holidays. The Bulls won Florida Atlantic's New Year's tourney after they defeated Northeastern and the host school. Senior guard Sonia Ortega was named the MVP after averaging 16 points, eight rebounds, 3.5 assists and three steals per game.
DIALING "L" FOR LONG RANGE: Eastern Michigan used the long ball to out gun visiting Illinois-Chicago, 63-54, on Dec. 30. The Eagles hit 12 three-pointers, compared to 10 from the Flames. EMU senior Jessica Henry connected on six treys and a game-high 21 points, while teammates Stephanie Smiley and Lauren Gedonius each had three.
MAC OPENERS TOUGH FOR HERD: Marshall has had its share of troubles when opening up league play, and Sunday was no different for the Thundering Herd as they dropped a 66-57 decision to Eastern Michigan. The Herd's loss was their third straight MAC-opening defeat. Last year, Marshall fell to Central Michigan and the year prior the Herd lost to Toledo.
WHEN THEY'RE ON, THEY'RE ON: Through its six wins this season, Miami has dominated the opposition, boasting an average margin of victory of 19.5 points per game. Miami has shot a solid 47 percent from the field during those six contests, while averaging 78.7 points per game. The defense has been stingy during those wins, allowing less than 60 points per game
BUT WHEN THEY'RE OFF ... : While the six wins outweigh the team's five losses to date, Miami's defeats have been in large numbers. The RedHawks average margin of loss this year is 31.2 points per game, and only one of those losses has been under 30 points -- a 77-65 loss to Ball State. During those defeats, the RedHawks have averaged 49.4 points per game while shooting only 32 percent from the floor. Defensively, Miami has allowed 80.6 points per game.
HALLER LIGHTS IT UP FOR NIU: Northern Illinois senior Charbea Haller tallied a career-best 19 points in the Huskies' two point loss to Detroit on Dec. 30. Haller, who also added four rebounds and four assists, hit four treys to lift her career total to 73, which places her for fourth in school history. She needs 11 to pass Cindy Conner for third-place.
RISING TO THE OCCASION: Toledo sophomore Courtney Risinger has started to emerge as an outside shooting threat for the Rockets. The Terre Haute, Ind., native has scored in double figures in each of her last three games, including a career-high 19 versus Youngstown State last Tuesday. In her last three contests, Risinger is averaging 14.7 points and is connecting on nearly 54 percent of her shots from the field (15-of-28). In addition, she is hitting 59 percent (10-of-17) from three-point range.
PUTTING IN SOME EXTRA TIME: Western Michigan has gone to overtime twice in 10 games this season. That total equals the number of overtime games in the Broncos' last 286 games. WMU lost to Eastern Michigan in overtime last season. Prior to that game, WMU had not needed a bonus session to decide a contest since the 1988-89 campaign. The last time the Broncos played two overtime contests in one year was the 1981-82 season.
CARDS IN PURSUIT OF WIN TOTAL: With eight wins, Ball State is just one win away from matching the 1998-99 team total of nine wins. In addition, in the last 10 years, a BSU team has posted double figure wins on just three occasions -- 17 in 1989-90, 13 in 1996-97 and 10 in 1997-98.
BOMBS AWAY FOR THE CHIPPEWAS: Central Michigan set a school record by making 12 three-pointers in the loss Sunday at Ohio. Molli Munz hit half of them with six and Jodi Culbertson had three. The team also attempted a school-record 24 shots from beyond the arc. Munz and Culbertson have combined to tally 56 three-pointers and are also hitting 42 percent of their shots from beyond the arc.
ONE-TWO PUNCH IGNITES WMU: Western Michigan freshman Kristin Koetsier and senior Shelsea Eving almost single-handedly gave the Broncos an 84-68 victory against Campbell in the consolation game of Georgia Tech's tournament. Koetsier, who leads the MAC in scoring (21.6), established a new WMU freshman record with 31 points, while Erving finished with 30 points -- her third career 30-point game. Twenty-six of Erving's points came in the second half.
SEVEN AND COUNTING: Kent head coach Bob Lindsay needs just seven more victories to reach 200 wins for his career. If he reaches that mark, Lindsay will become the first women's basketball coach, and the fourth basketball coach overall, to reach 200 wins in MAC history.
BALANCED SCORING ATTACK: Ohio has placed four-or-more players in double figures in scoring in four of the last five games, and are 4-1 in those contests. The only exception was when it lost to Michigan State and only placed three in double digits. In that game, however, Cathy Szall (25 points) and Jacquie Negrelli (24) each recorded career-highs in points. In Szall's next game versus Oakland, she established a new career best with 28 points.
STEVENS STEPPING IT UP: Marshall's Yashico Stevens has been on a scoring rampage of late for the Thundering Herd. In her last six games, Stevens has established a career high in four of them, including a 21-point performance versus Eastern Michigan. The junior, who has averaged 18.7 points in her past six contests, improved her scoring average to 14.2, which leads Marshall and is 11th in the MAC.
EMU IS SPREADING THE WEALTH: Eastern Michigan is starting to get leadership from a variety of people on the floor. Through the first 12 games, eight different players have led the Eagles in game scoring, while seven players have also led or tied for the game high in rebounds. Eight Eagles are averaging 5.4 points a game or better.
WAPPES KEEPS GOING AND GOING ...: Jaymee Wappes has turned in some lengthy performances for Bowling Green this season. The senior, who logs an average of 33.4 minutes per game, has played in 155 of the Falcons' last 160 minutes. Wappes tied a career high last week against Hampton with 11 assists, and she averaged 7.7 assists per game in her three contests last week and, compared to only three turnovers a game.

Josh Cosford, CFPHS, The Fluid Power House (Cambridge) Inc. |
Last month, I gave you the drill down on basic hydraulic symbology. It was literally as basic as I could get, so I'll kick it up a notch this month. I not only covered lines, but also what the three basic polygons are (square, circle and diamond, of course). This issue will focus on single squares, most of which in the hydraulic library are pressure valves. I'm going to discuss pilot pressure and pressure differential, as well. Understanding the dynamics of pressure is key to understanding any hydraulic circuit.
Fluid can and will only flow from an area of higher pressure to lower pressure—"fluid takes the path of least resistance." Without a path for hydraulic oil to flow, there is no flow, such as through a blocked valve. If you look at example in the picture, the pressure that may exist at 1 will not be able to create any flow through this pressure valve.
That particular graphic shows a basic pressure valve; a plain square, a spring on the right, a pilot line on the left and a directional arrow that will represent flow path from port 1 to port 2. All schematics are drawn in their natural or neutral state, as if the machine was off. In the case of this valve, the force of the spring keeps the arrow pushed off to one side, preventing flow from port 1 to port 2.
The pressure required to move the arrow to the right and start compression of the spring is 1000 psi. At 1001 psi, the arrow will have shifted and opened up a path for fluid to flow, as shown in example b. Fluid will flow from 1 to 2 so long as pressure is maintained in the pilot line at or above the 1000 psi range. The spring and pilot fluid are at a "push o' war." The spring is trying to force the valve closed, and pilot pressure is trying to force it open. Whichever force is higher (spring pressure or pilot pressure) will dictate the state of the valve.
To further demonstrate my "push o' war" example, see example c. Some relief valves may have a spring drain chamber that could be hooked up to a line going straight back to tank. This allows any bypass oil that makes it way past the poppet or spool (more likely a spool) to drain without affecting the performance of the valve. If oil were to build up inside the spring chamber, the pressure created would be additive to the spring force, causing the valve to open at higher pressure or not at all.
Let's say in this case, the drain line has a restriction in it, which is causing 100 psi of backpressure in the spring chamber. Now, the relief valve won't open until pilot pressure reaches 1100 psi plus. This can be a bad thing, especially because you can be fooled into thinking someone changed the setting on the relief valve, or if the drain pressure reaches a thousand psi or more. This can cause damage to components from over-pressurization because the relief valve is locked shut.
It's a concept you must be aware of when looking at schematics to understand what's going on with a machine, but the concept isn't always bad. By manipulating pilot and drain lines in hydraulic systems, you have freedom to build creative circuits. Looking at example d, we can see I've added a solenoid valve to the drain line of this relief valve. In its current state, drain flow is blocked, essentially locking up the spring chamber with fluid. Even 3000 psi at port 1 and the internal pilot line of the relief valve is still not enough pressure to overcome incompressible fluid trapped in the spring chamber.
As soon as we shift the solenoid valve to allow the spring chamber to vent to tank, the relief valve will shift and start to control pressure in the system, as shown in example e. The control of pilot and drain energy is quite common, especially in larger hydraulic systems. Because of the forces acting upon valve spools with high flows, electric coils are not strong enough to shift hydraulic valves. This is why pilot operated valves are used for anything above 40 gpm at best.
In example f, I've shown a standard pilot operated logic element setup. If we assume the area ratio of the logic element is 1:1, then any pressure at ports 1 and 2 higher than 15 bar will cause the valve to open. Pilot pressure essentially kicks the door open because it wasn't locked very tightly. However, we can see at port one, we have a pilot line going to the solenoid valve and then back into the logic element. Any pressure at port 1 will be additive to spring pressure, resulting in the valve being locked closed regardless of how high pressure gets at port 1.
If we shift the solenoid valve (called a pilot valve, in this case), the pilot side of the main valve will be vented back to tank. Pilot pressure is no longer added to spring pressure and any pressure higher than 15 bar will open up the logic element. That logic element could flow 1000 gpm, and could be controlled by a tiny D03 valve that flows 15 gpm.
Next month, I'll do a session on the various types of pressure valves. Try to contain yourself until then!

ISO Standard Tip: The international standard for drawing hydraulic symbols comes from the ISO Standard 1219, in its most current form as ISO 1219-1-2006. Coming from the offices of the International Organization for Standardization, it outlines the specific methods used in drawing symbols to their standard. I use ISO symbols whenever possible, and even when I do not, I use their recommended geometric ratios and angles. You will be able to find bits and pieces of the standard online, but to get the full details, you unfortunately have to purchase it, as it is copyrighted material. The next best thing to the ISO 1219 manual, would be the Lightning Reference Manual. It has a good library of drawings as well as specifications for drawing your own symbols. It can be purchased here in the Bookstore. |
