Hi all,
I am happy to announce that from now on you can join and access this forum with your universal Nokia account.
This means that you can now use the same username and password to sign in to a wide range of Nokia services. Read more about Nokia account from http://account.nokia.com
If you are new to this forum and wish to register, you need to create a Nokia account and choose a Discussions alias. The alias is your nickname that will be shown to other members of the forum, no other personal details are shown unless you add them to your profile page.
If you already have a Nokia account, you'll just have to add a Discussions alias to it.
Here are the instructions for registering on this forum::
1) You already have a Nokia account
Start by logging in from the top of the page. Enter your Nokia account email/username and password. If you have created your Nokia account after September 2011, no separate username has been created so only your email address will be asked.
You will then be asked to select a Discussions alias, which is the name that you will be known by on this forum. It can be the same as your Nokia account username, as long as someone else hasn't reserved it yet. Again, new Nokia accounts do not have a separate email address anymore.
After choosing the alias, you will be redirected on the forum and you can start to make posts here.
2) You do not have a Nokia account yet
Start by clicking on "Register" on top of this page, follow the instructions
and fill in the registration form. After you have successfully registered, you will be signed in on this forum with your new alias.
You can now access all Nokia services with the same Nokia account - just remember to login with your email address and password. Using your forum alias will not work.
Here's a few Q&A's I could think of:
I can't remember my Nokia account password?
Click on "Forgot your password?" on the Discussions main page and type in your email address. You will get an email with all the details.
I can't remember my Nokia account username?
Click on "Forgot your password?" on the Discussions main page and type in your email address. You'll then get an email that mentions your Nokia account username (and a link to reset your password but just ignore that if you remember your password.)
Why can't I sign in using my forum alias?
Nokia Support Discussions uses the global Nokia account system, so you need to log in with your Nokia account details. We recommend you to always login with your email address and password.
I have a Discussions alias but someone has already reserved the same name for his Nokia account username. Should I worry?
Nokkia account usernames are no longer created, so you may only face this problem if you created your Nokia account before October 2011.
We are sorry if this has happened, unfortunately there was no way for us to get around this possibility. Some Nokia services show the Nokia account username as a person's public identity, which may cause some confusion across these services. So a "JohnDoe" here might not be the same as the "JohnDoe" in the Nokia Store, for example.
Naturally the other person will not be able to access your Nokia account or Discussions account details, nor can you access his.
How do I change my email address or password in the future?
You can manage your account details at http://account.nokia.com
Can I change my Discussions forum alias?
Unfortunately it is not possible. The main reason is simply that with hundreds of thousands of members, it would be impossible for anyone to know who's who anymore.
I would like to connect my alias to another Nokia account. Is that possible?
We can do this but it takes some time. Email us at email@example.com and tell us your current Nokia account details + forum alias, and the reason why you want to do this. If possible, send the email from the address that is associated with your Nokia account.
If you are unable to register a new account or have any problems with accessing your existing account, and therefore also unable to post here, just email us at firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll help you to register.
On behalf of the Nokia Support Discussions & Nokia account teams,
reason for edit: the login process has been updated.

Hi Vandelay
All seemed to be fine here.
Pretty smooth transition for me.
30-09-2009 4:53
Hi Shuntfield,
that's great news, thanks! Good to see you
30-09-2009 7:59
Hi Vandelay,
Great idea to merge accounts its now a hassle free method , kudos for that. Today when i logged into Nokia discussions it prompted me to merge it with Nokia Account, my doubt is i am not sure which Nokia account first i entered "MyNokia" username and password it didnt accept then i entered my "Nokia Messaging" username and password it was successful and screen said your Nokia account is successfully merged after that i clicked "continue" button it didnt go into the next page i waited and later clicked the Link below "Go to Nokia Discussions" i ended up here, Is something wrong with my account or am i missing something simple here
If a reply has solved your problem click Accept as solution button, doing it will help others know the solution. Thanks.

Hi Krizanand,
no, you did nothing wrong: the Continue-button doesn't work on the last page, it's a silly little mistake and we'll fix it soon. Luckily there's that link below it.
My Nokia should also be using the Nokia account. I just tried and I was able to log in to www.nokia.fi/mynokia with the same username and password that I now use here.
So if you tried your My Nokia credentials first, they should have worked and let you continue to pair your accounts. Please try to log in to your local My Nokia site again, maybe it works this time?

30-09-2009 9:04
Yes got it working there was a mistake from my side my "My Nokia" account has my mobile number as the username, my ovi account has username same as my discussions account. In my ovi account i didnt verify my contact details (mobile number which i use to login to "My Nokia" account), thats the reason why it didnt accept my "My Nokia" credentials at the first place and after verifying my contact details i was able to login to "My Nokia" account using my Ovi Account and using the same username and password i was able to login to discussions too, BTW sorry to confuse
Thank you very much
If a reply has solved your problem click Accept as solution button, doing it will help others know the solution. Thanks.

The new log in page of the Discussions can't remember the details I set when I enter the forum and that is very frustrating, because I visit the discussions many times a day and every time I have to write again my log in details because the forum can't remember it.
I have reinstalled the internet explorer in my pc in case it was ie8's problem but it is still the same thing. Please fix it!
03-10-2009 9:04
Until it's fixed use a better browser as IE8 is a bit rubbish.
Firefox 3.5 remembers your details but doesn't auto log in.
Google Chrome 3 remembers your details and auto logs in.
06-10-2009 19:58
I have been trying to log into the forums since Friday and have not been able to. When I try to log in with my existing Forum ID and then merge that with my Nokia ID I keep getting HTTP 500 errors telling me the service is unavailable.
I have tried on a PC using Internet Explorer 8 and Firefox. I have also tried using my N97 browser, no luck. I've messaged Forum Moderator asking for help but haven't received a reply yet and have posted for assistance in the forum with no luck. I've created this new ID just to post asking for help. Can a Moderator get in touch to help me please and I can provide my details.
Thanks in advance.

Hi mistertee,
we've experienced some server errors (I've seen a 500 error myself) but they should now be solved. So please try once more.
If it still won't work, email me at email@example.com so we can continue this via email.
06-10-2009 21:01
Hi Vandelay

You're supposed to log in with your OVI account and then link it with your forum ID.
I've tried both ways, neither work.
07-10-2009 15:07 - edited 07-10-2009 15:08
Indeed, both ways should work. You can start pairing your accounts with either your Nokia account or Discussions credentials.
However, thanks to mistertee, we found a bug that was preventing some Discussions aliases that have an underscore ( _ ) to be migrated. This has now been fixed.
Also, we can now unpair any Discussions accounts. So if you now want to change to using another Nokia account, just email support.discussions at nokia.com and request this.
07-10-2009 15:10
Yup, am all sorted now. Thank you!

How do I post on the discussion board? Please, explain in a simple language and not to technical. Thanks. My biggest interest in this site is of a more creative kind. I'm writing my third book and it's a futuristic plot, 20 years in the future, set in Stockholm and about a normal family. It's not science fiction. My stories have to be realistic and I need to know something about what might happen in the technological area. In my own mind I've already used my imagination, but it's always fun to talk to regular 'nerds' and their fantasy-premonitions.
So, how do I post on the discussion board?
Thanks, LDivelli

"Anrandungen" (literally translated as " on the verge of ...") - a photographic project traveling along the European Union's new Eastern border from Estonia to Romania.
Europe has natural borders to the west, north and south, but not to the east. Not that long ago, the eastern edge of Europe was right outside my door in the form of the Berlin wall, but nowadays, the border seems to be moving further and further eastwards: to the river Oder, or even further to Brest (Ukraine). Today there is a new East: different from the "Eastern Bloc", and a Europe which does not fit with the image that its citizens have made of it for themselves. The world is starting anew, when it had already seemed to be over for so many: the story is beginning again, when it had appeared to have come to an end. Behind what we thought we knew, is a territory we have yet to discover.
Where will the eastern border of a economically and politically-united Europe end up? Which countries will eventually belong and when will the European Union be saturated? Such questions need to be answered and incite emotional responses and controversy. There is still a lot of work to be done in the new EU countries in the East, but nothing seems as urgent as securing newly-won privileges. I was not an eyewitness to the disappearance of the border, but rather to its metamorphosis. The new Europe that is emerging is not limitless, but one that is learning to find its limits and live with them.
However, it is the barrier itself, rather than the political aspects, which is the subject of my work. The border as a dividing line, a demarcation that separates and limits the space in which we live. People never live (nor could we live) in boundless space. The limits which we depend on are only a transitional line: a threshold which structures the formless. Such limits should not scare us, they should act as a stimulus. They foster new experiences and ensure that each arrival is also a farewell. Boundaries are characterized by a richness of difference. A limit indicates the obligation of being responsible for our own home, as well as the opportunity to be a guest somewhere else.
A journey from the north to the south along the periphery of our great political and cultural project: the European Union, led me from Estonia through Latvia, Lithuania, eastern Poland, Slovakia and Hungary to the eastern border regions of Romania. Such a trip, taking over 8 weeks by car, allowed me to accumulate a wealth of material from observations and encounters along the way, based on the thoughts above and questions from the project "Anrandungen". A selection of them can be seen in this photo book. Marco Kaufmann.

Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Asthma is a complex, inflammatory disorder characterized by airflow obstruction of variable degrees, bronchial hyper-responsiveness, and airway inflammation. Asthma is caused by environmental factors and a combination of genetic and environmental stimuli. Intense genetic studies in the last decade revealed that multiple genetic loci are involved in the etiology of asthma. Recent cellular, molecular, and animal model studies have revealed that several cellular events are involved in the progression of asthma, including: increased T-helper type 2 cytokines leading to the recruitment of inflammatory cells to the airway and, increased production of reactive oxygen species and mitochondrial dysfunction in the activated inflammatory cells, leading to tissue injury in the bronchial epithelium. The purpose of this issue is to assess the current status of research in asthma: 1) recent progress in genetic studies of asthma; 2) advances in cells/tissues from asthmatic humans, and induced animal models of allergic asthma; and 3) recent developments in therapeutics of asthma. This issue also discusses the current status of mitochondrial approaches in induced animal models of allergic asthma, and also in patients with asthma.

Blackwood school gets Olympic honour
9:40pm Wednesday 27th June 2012 in News
BLACKWOOD Comprehensive school has been chosen as one of just seven in Wales to do a guard of honour for the Olympic athletes in London.
At the start of the Athletes' Parade on July 27, the pupils will be part of 2,000 schoolchildren who will line the route of the procession from the Olympic Village to the Olympic Stadium, holding lanterns and banners to support the athletes.
The 250 schools have been selected through the reward and recognition programme of Get Set, the official London 2012 education programme.
They have demonstrated a commitment to living the Olympic and Paralympic values and incorporating them into their school lives and curriculum.
The participating teams enter the stadium, nation by nation and in alphabetical order, according to the language of the host country and IOC protocol order apart from the Greek team which enters first for the Olympic Games, and the team of the host nation, who enter last.

Just give it to Fretton now, no contest.
John Tuomey is Head Judge.
Stirling Prize 2009: is Gherkin architecture a thing of the past?
The Stirling Prize is always a litmus test of the state of British architecture. What does this year's shortlist tell us? That after years of showstoppers, things are getting quieter. The buildings judged were completed last year, before the full effects of the recession - which has hit architects worse than any other sector - could be felt. Even so, how few creep over the bar into excellence!
Maggie's Cancer Care Centre in West London by Prince Charles's favourite architects, Rogers Stirk Harbour & Partners, is in those few, a real gem.The late Maggie Jencks's string of architecturally inspirational centres were created after personal experience of the NHS "systemâ€, to put the human back into health care. The latest buildings, though, by big name acts like Zaha Hadid and Frank Gehry, had lost modesty in favour of headline-grabbing showiness. Rogers's, though, is, a return to core values, an elegant home from home, delicate and soothing, like a Japanese pavilion. The Fuglsang Art Gallery is another jewel, by Tony Fretton, so ignored at home that he has to work abroad.
Liverpool One is the best example of urban renaissance since Manchester's, even if it lacks gems. Richard Rogers continues his recent successful Stirling Prize run (he won in 2006 with Madrid's airport terminal) with Protos winery in Spain - that rare thing, a pretty factory. What about Eric Parry's 5 Aldermanbury? Elegant. Solid. A good egg, as is AHMM's Kentish Town Health Centre. AHMM nearly won last year with their Westminster Academy, proof that a decade of government investment in the state building was finally bearing fruit. It's tough to build economical City skyscrapers and NHS health centres that are anything but mundane. But great?
So is the age of the iconic building, such as the Gherkin, really over in Britain? Maybe. And maybe good riddance. For every great recent icon - the London Eye, the Eden project, the Gherkin- dozens of monsters have been built during the economic boom. Perhaps it's better to have a country of good ordinary buildings, like health centres, than magnificent exceptions. But I miss them! And, with public and private spending shrivelling away, the danger is, in years to come we'll get the worst of all worlds - modest architecture, cheaply built.
Tom Dyckhoff is on the jury that selects the Stirling Prize shortlist

I set all the sliders for sharpening, NR, etc to zero. Other settings like brightness, highlights, etc were at the zero position.Here is a image of the sun reflecting off a gazing globe. Its a 100% crop, but no black ring.The effect is more pronounced the greater the contrast (steep brightness gradient) and smaller the blown image, i.e. stars and hot pixels are ideal to produce dark halos. The sun in your image is more extended and bright also outside the saturated region, so sharpening shouldn't produce as easily visible halos.This is a straight conversion from raw to jpg in LR 4, all the settings are nominal, no sharpening or NR.Isn't sharpening applied when using nominal settings? (I'm not too familiar with LR4, but other software apply it by default) If you push sharpening using unsharp mask I'm sure you can produce a dark halo around the bright dot in the right hemisphere. Just to illustrate the effect. (looking closer at your image there actually seems to be a dark edge to the white spots [not the sun] - implying some sharpening may have actually taken place?)
LR does not actually have a default sharpness, you can set it and save it for different ISO levels of your cameras as well as setup it to process images with pre determined colors, etc. However, you can turn all the settings bacxk to zero. Lightroom does not actually change the image, it just saves settings for each image in a database, and they can be zeroed or changed at any time. Then, when you render a image to jpeg or other format, the settings are burned in for that exported image, but the original is unchanged.
The white spots are deposits left by birds going to our feeded, and indeed might have some black or various colors in them, so I'd not try to judge them from the photo.
As noted, I did not have a blown out image from my 5D MK III, it does a very good job of setting the exposure, and we did not have many sunny days when I was testing it.

Mamas who are packing up their babes for Summer vacations should check out their wee one's sleeping accommodations before hand. While most hotels provide cribs for vacationing babies, others may leave it up to the visitor to provide the amenities themselves. When that's the case, there are a few portable crib and tent options that are sure to keep baby (and mommy) sleeping through the night. Phil and Teds Traveller What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 They've done it again. The New Zealand company who brought us the coolest strollers and functional highchairs have the Phil and Teds Traveller ($159) that is perfect for camping, hotels or grandma's house. 1 / 7 Graco Travel Lite Betsey What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Infants on the go will do well in the miniature Graco Travel Lite Crib ($100). With all the same features as a regular Pack n Play, the "Lite" version is a bit smaller, lighter and convenient. It has two settings so the baby can rest on the bottom or higher up like in a bassinet. When the pad is on the raised level, it makes for a perfect changing table, too! 2 / 7 Baby Bjorn Travel Crib What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Similar to the Phil and Teds Traveller, the Baby Bjorn ($280) crib is a lightweight portable crib that can easily be used for a sleeping place and a playpen. 3 / 7 Kid Co Peapod Travel Bed What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If lightweight is the name of the game, the Peapod Travel Bed ($60) may win the battle. At just six pounds, the tented crib easily packs up into a circular case and fits into a suitcase. A tighter fit than the standing cribs, the air filled mattress make it perfectly suitable for small tots and can be used on the beach or outdoors to shield a baby from the sun. 4 / 7 Pacific Play Castle Tent What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If mama's got a lil diva on her hands, the Pacific Play Tents Secret Castle Twin Bed Tent ($53) could be the way to go. Ladies who deem themselves princesses will love sleeping on a cushy mattress under a hot pink canopy that reads, "Secret Castle." 6 / 7 Graco Deco Pack n Play What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If traveling by car, the standard Graco Pack n Play ($190) is easy to assemble and provides space, a bassinet, a sun shield and a changing cradle complete with a diaper caddy, a wipes holder and other compartments. It's heavier than any other option, but it's easy enough to toss into the trunk. 6 / 7 Which one do you prefer?

Erith and Thamesmead MP Teresa Pearce backs bill to regulate £5.6 billion scrap metal industry
4:04pm Wednesday 13th February 2013 in Bexley By Tim MacFarlan, reporter
ERITH and Thamesmead's MP has backed a parliamentary bill to curb "sickening" metal thefts from public buildings and monuments.
Teresa Pearce served on the bill committee for the Scrap Metal Dealers Bill which received its third and final reading in the House of Lords on February 12.
After passing its final parliamentary hurdle, the legislation will seek to regulate the £5.6bn scrap metal industry which is the principal outlet for stolen metal.
The bill proposes a licensing scheme accounting for all scrap metal sales; fines for serious breaches of the act; cashless trading for all scrap metal dealers and more powers to help police close down rogue traders.
Ms Pearce said: "Metal theft is no petty crime.
"We hear regular reports of metal thefts that target our energy, transport and telecommunications infrastructure, cutting off power and vital services to communities and putting people's lives in danger.
"Even more sickening are the attacks on our churches, crematoriums and war memorials.
"It is particularly fitting that the bill will make it onto the statute books in the year that marks the 100th anniversary of the First World War."

A 21-year-old Roseville man was sentenced today to 11 years and four months in state prison for sexually assaulting his live-in girlfriend and preventing her from leaving the home by using violence.
Bret James Larson received the sentence from Placer County Superior Court Judge J. Richard Couzens, who also ordered the defendant to pay $1,000 in restitution fines.
Larson was convicted June 24 when he pleaded guilty to charges of rape, assault, inflicting corporal injury on a co-habitant and false imprisonment by violence.
Todd Kuhnen, deputy district attorney for Placer County, said the defendant also admitted to having a prior strike in his criminal history, an enhancement that increased his prison sentence.
Seven other charges against Larson were dismissed in a plea deal, including making terrorist threats and several sex-related counts, Kuhnen said.
The incidents against the victim occurred on April 1 and again on April 7 when she returned to the residence to try to get her belongings, Kuhnen said.

EUFAULA, AL - It is all the buzz around the Valley: a local man pulls a massive alligator from the waters of Lake Eufaula, and it was his first time gator hunting!
News Leader Nine spoke with Zach Moore about his first big catch, and what the people of Eufaula think of this monster swimming in their waters.
"We shot him one time and he came up on the bank and he was standing up and that's when I realized how big he was, and it knocked my socks off because I didn't believe he was that big," said Moore.
Moore and his father wrangled with the 12 feet long gator for about 9 hours on the first day of Alligator Season. Moore explains they had to use a bow and arrow to connect a wire to the beast before shooting it with a gun. He says that was the easy part. Then, they had to get the animal in the boat.
"I tied him and strapped him up. I had to get in the water with him. And, I pulled a couple back muscles. It's a lot harder than I thought it would be," said Moore.
Gators are not strangers in Eufaula. The Gator Stop is a local gas stationed dedicated to these scaly creatures. Antwon Wells took some time to look at the gas station's main attraction: alligators sun-bathing out back.
"It's normal for alligators but not for something that massively big," said Wells.
He was shocked to see the giant that came out of the local lake.
"I was thinking if he caught something that big, I wonder what else is in there," said Wells.
Moore is hopes Wells is right so he can get a chance at another giant. For now, he is enjoying his big catch.
"We skinned him out, and we got his meat in the freezer. We got about 200 lbs of meat, and we definitely plan on sharing it and eating some of it," said Moore.
We did find fliers warning about alligators in Lake Eufaula. Local park rangers encourage people not to feed the animals and to stay a safe distance away because alligators are very fast in short distances.

The search for inner peace and the ability to "check out" and completely disconnect from the daily grind – if even for fleeting moments of the day – is a lifelong ambition of mine. It's not a concept that comes naturally for Type-A personalities such as myself, so I jumped at the chance to relax when a staggering summer deal was sent to my inbox from one of Arizona's many luxury spas , Willow Stream Spa at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess. By the time I received my appointment confirmation, I could almost smell the chamomile from my office. Detectible glimmers of serenity achieved.
Two weeks later, the day arrived for my service and I was like a toddler on Christmas morning. I was hosting a friend from out of town too, which made our trip to the Willow Stream Spa twice as exciting. As I settled into my cloth robe, cucumber water in hand and pinky in the air for added emphasis, the first few pounds of life seemed to shed themselves from my shoulders. The reviving and blissful massage lifted the rest of the weight. Sixty minutes of heaven later, I emerged a rejuvenated woman.
In my hazy state, I managed to locate a few necessities I'd brought from home – my book, my crossword, my aviator sunglasses – and made my way up the stairs to the rooftop pool. I settled into the lounge chair, and within moments was approached by a staff member dressed in all white. I wasn't sure if he was an angel, and given his tray full of cold water, prickly pear juice and cool towels, he may very well have been. He offered complimentary sunscreen, and it smelled like coconut and sunshine.
As I dissolved into my chair, I found myself smiling to nobody in particular. It was obvious; I was truly relaxed. No deadlines to meet; no errands to run; no phone calls to return. Temporary as it was, it was a moment of real peace.
We spent the rest of the morning enjoying the pool, and ultimately retiring to this Arizona spa's facilities. The eucalyptus inhalation room demanded most of my attention, but I made sure to also give the outdoor Grotto and indoor oasis pool a shot as well. I was advised to allow at least one hour to enjoy the spa facility on its own, and it became obvious how sound that advice was. I could have had twice that.
The facility also offered complete services to bring your spa day full circle – private showers, blow dryers, toothbrushes, you name it.
There's no question we departed as different, more rejuvenated individuals - happy, energized, moisturized and with a slight glow from the Arizona sunshine. Being disconnected from the hustle brought me moments of self-harmony and true balance.
My advice - don't skip over some of the remarkable spa experiences we offer across the state. If you're traveling to Arizona this summer, you have the advantage of snatching up some incredible deals. Do you have a favorite spa in Arizona? We'd love to hear about it on Facebook!
Rebekah Bell is a 5-year-resident of the Valley of the Sun, she can be found seeking outdoor adventures across the state, sampling locally crafted brews, or exploring quaint Phoenix hideaways. Her search for inner peace and serenity continues.

The New Jersey Nets took a pretty big gamble at the NBA trade deadline this year, acquiring Gerald Wallace in exchange for their 1st round pick. The risk probably didn't play out exactly how the Nets wanted to, as Wallace has elected to opt out of the last season of his contract.
Wallace had a sixth year left on his contract that would have paid him $9.5 million for the 2012-13 season, but he decided that he'd rather return to the open market. That does not mean that Wallace is necessarily signing elsewhere, though -- just that it will likely cost the Nets more than it would have prior to his opting out.
Not a surprise, but Gerald Wallace confirms he's opting out of last season to hit free-agency. My guess: He re-signs with Nets.— Rick Bonnell (@rick_bonnell) June 13, 2012
It will be interesting to see what happens with this, because had the Nets not made the trade (they were essentially out of the postseason running when the acquisition occurred), Brooklyn would own the sixth overall pick in the upcoming NBA Draft.

Linux Mint 8 Released
Ubuntu fans that have slight problems with their current version 9.10 might want to look at Linux Mint. Version 8, a.k.a. "Helena," is now ready for download.
Linux Mint 8 is based on Ubuntu 9.10 and, unlike the official version, provides all the multmedia components and a couple of further enhancements. The distro is currently at number four in the DistroWatch ranking and can confidently be considered the best Ubuntu derivative.
In the new release code-named Helena, main developer Clement Lefebvre not only made the desktop visually more attractive but added a new Upload Manager and countless detailed enhancements. Due to its Karmic Koala underpinnings, Linux Mint 8 is based on Kernel 2.6.31, GNOME 2.28 and X.org 7.4. Apart from the Ubuntu-based changes, the new version now supports an OEM installation module that allows bypassing packages during updates. Details on the Helena release are on the project homepage.
Because Linux Mint servers might be overloaded, it's best to use mirrors to download the ISO files, such as ftp.heanet.ie. The 700-MByte main English language edition provides complete multimedia support. The 1-GByte universal edition supports many languages, but excludes the legally controversial additions. The Mint team promises a 64-bit edition soon to supplement the 32-bit one, as well as a KDE version.

CLIFTON PARK, N.Y. – State Police arrested a Ballston Lake man after responding to a report of a driver having difficulty staying in his designated lane while driving on Main Street Thursday.
Police say the operator was reported to have nearly caused several head-on collisions before a concerned citizen flagged down Trooper Franchini, who was on patrol in the area. Trooper Franchini immediately identified the suspected vehicle and observed several vehicle and traffic law violations.
Following a traffic stop and subsequent field sobriety tests, 53-year-old Kevin J. Guthorn was arrested and charged with Felony Driving While Intoxicated.
He was arraigned in the Town of Clifton Park Justice Court and remanded to Saratoga County Jail in lieu of a $5,000 cash bail.

Riu Playacar resort in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. I stayed at this resort in April 2008 and shot this panorama. This parnorama was taken with a Canon 350D, Peleng 8mm fisheye, a panosaurus panoramic tripod head, and Slik sprint pro tripod.

North America includes Mexico, the United States, Canada, and Gotham City.
The region temporarily existed as a Protectorate of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Norton I, with its capital being the city of San Francisco. Sadly, this term of benevolent ebullience lasted a brief two decades and ended c. 1880.
The United States is now the dominant country of North America. It arose as a nation only 225 years ago after a successful rebellion against the British government under King George III.
From a distance, it appears that the eastern coastlines of North and South America fit exactly into the west coast of Africa. In fact, about 250 million years ago these continents really were all connected in one land mass that we have named Pangaea.
With such a foundation in tectonic unity, there is no doubt that someday soon the people on every continent of earth will realize their fundamental similarities. Expect massive leaps in creative output in your area!

Next time you go to the store, you may see a sign that tells you that you will be charged a fee if you use a credit card. That fee can be anywhere from 1.5 percent to 4 percent of your purchase.
These checkout fees became a reality Sunday.
This all stems from a settlement last summer following a lawsuit that was filed in 2005 against MasterCard, Visa, and some financial institutions made it possible for merchants to impose a "checkout" fee that would amount to about 2 to 3 percent of purchases charged to a credit card.
This has been an ongoing battle involving banks and major credit card companies including MasterCard and Visa, and on January 27, merchants in the United States and its territories will have the option to add a surcharge to either all credit card transactions they process or to certain types of credit card transactions.
For years, retailers have been complaining about swipe fees, the fact they have to pay money every time their customers use a credit card.
Before the class action settlement, Visa and MasterCard prohibited retailers from adding a surcharge to consumer credit card purchases.
Now, retailers have the option of charging a checkout fee. Large retailers like Target said they will not charge these fees, but for many small businesses this can hurt their bottom line.

A full tutorial on how to draw tits... wow, never thought I'd see the day! XD
Hey, someone had to!
Rated 3 / 5 stars Jun 11, 2013
Nice little tutorial, I just have one question though. Why does the chick have a goatee, or maybe I should say why does the guy have tits?
I figured I should at least sport a pair if I'm going to be teaching how to draw them.
Rated 0.5 / 5 stars Jun 10, 2013
Sorry to inform you, but art is subjective. A good tutorial is one that is simply informative, not instructive, demanding and repetitive (you repeat many parts that don't need to be).
What I liked: The part about a leather sack filled with water.
What I did not like: Telling people they have to draw breasts your way, or else it's bad, wrong, terrible.
Tutorials in general are a result of one or both of the following:
A: The author is offended by how people draw women on the internet.
B: The author wants to make it look like they are supreme intelligence and all must conform to their standards.
Tutorials are useless as they take away the most important part in art: Creativity.
You get half a star for the one little helpful point about leather sacks.
Rated 5 / 5 stars Jun 10, 2013
This is not a guide for people to draw boobs, is a guide for surgeons to learn where to place the nipples on those fake boobs, i mean yes they are fake but come on! at least get the nipples right!!!!
I can't tell if this is a joke, an insult, or both.

thank you for this tutorial. this will help me improve my art a bit

Rams TE Brody Eldridge has been suspended four games for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing drugs. Eldridge's suspension covers the team's first four games of the 2012 season and he will not be paid during his time off.
The 25-year-old Oklahoma product is entering his third NFL season. He played his first two seasons with the Colts, who cut him May 18. He was picked up by the Rams the following day.
Eldridge will be able to participate in all offseason and preseason practices and games, and will be able to return to the active roster following St. Louis' Sept. 30 game.
As mostly a blocking tight end in Indianapolis, he had nine receptions for 45 yards in 13 games (eight starts) last season.

What is this fascination with the "franchise QB"? It's the team that gets it done. Dilfer, Johnson, Warner, Hostetler, all got it done. Marino didn't. Manning hasn't. McNabb hasn't. Elway took forever to do it. How many rings does Favre have after all these years of being the definition of "franchise QB"? How close did we get with Shaun freakin King? Is Delhomme a franchise QB? How about Hasselback? If Chicago gets there this year, will you consider Grossman a franchise QB?Salary cap era, Franchise QB means less than it used to. It's great to have a stud there, no doubt. But when your team has a million other holes to fill, it isn't going to make that much of a difference. One player, even a QB, can only carry a team so far. And with the way QBs have been dropping like flies lately, you're only one injury away...look at Cincinati in the playoffs. Once palmer went down it was over, they never had a chance.Give me a Dominant oline and a solid defense over a franchise QB any day. And we can't get it all in one year.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

Did 78 year old Audrey Mulligan die as a result of her injuries from a sexual assault, or did she die of other health issues? That's at the crux of the murder trial underway in Pinellas County this week.
Prosecutors said in March of 2007, Virgil Debose talked his way into the St. Petersburg condo of the elderly woman. Investigators said he violently raped her and fractured her hip during the attack.
With the help of bus surveillance video, investigators tracked Debose down. They were able to link his DNA to semen on Mulligan's clothing. Investigators also found Debose's fingerprints on a newspaper left in the victim's home. Mulligan was hospitalized, and died a month later of an intestinal infection.
" He didn't intend to kill her but he did intend to sexually batter her and we're going to show that as a result of that sexual battery, as a result of that broken hip she received, as a result of the hospitalization, she died," said Fred Schaub, Pinellas Assistant State Attorney.
But defense attorney Keith Hammond told jurors in opening statements today, that the sexual assault injuries did not kill the victim. " You're going to have DNA evidence, you're going to have pictures and video, you're going to have all this stuff about sexual battery, but you're not going to have any scientific evidence about this alleged murder," said Hammond.
Before opening statements today, Debose complained to Pinellas Judge Nancy Moate Ley about the mostly white jury. The judge told him the jury had been legally selected.
If convicted, Debose would face life in prison.
Debose is also charged with raping a 58 year old disabled woman, five days before the attack on Mulligan.

Chad Henne - #7 - QB
|6' 3"/ 230 lbs.
|West Lawn, PA
|Years played
|2008, 2nd round, 26th pick by Dolphins
Thigpen, 'Wildcat' keep Dolphins season alive
When Dolphins head coach Tony Sparano announced last week that Chad Pennington would start at quarterback, he did so because the offense needed a spark. In the Dolphins' 29-17 home win over the Titans, the offense got a spark, but ...
Report: Pennington done for the year
A source close to Dolphins QB Chad Pennington has told ESPN.com that the veteran will miss the rest of the season with a right shoulder injury. It could be a career-ending injury as well.
Dolphins to explore backup QB options
Following injuries to Chad Pennington and Chad Henne, Miami is bringing in some free agents to compete for a backup job behind likely starter Tyler Thigpen.
Report: Pennington, Henne both out for season
Both Chad Pennington and Chad Henne are likely out for the remainder of the season, according to PFW Dolphins correspondent and Sun Sentinel reporter Omar Kelly. Each quarterback was injured in Miami's 29-17 Week 10 victory vs. the Titans.
Dolphins use three QBs in win over Titans
The Miami Dolphins achieved their season-high point total against Tennessee, and it only took three quarterbacks, a flea-flicker and the revival of the wildcat.
Pennington leaves game with shoulder injury; return is questionable
Dolphins QB Chad Pennington has left Sunday's game with a shoulder injury and his return is questionable.
Upcoming stretch could spell end for Henne or Henning in Miami
Chad Henne may not be the future of the Dolphins' franchise anymore after being benched for veteran QB Chad Pennington, and possibly Tyler Thigpen.
Dolphins bench Henne, reinstall Pennington as starter
At his Wednesday press conference, Dolphins head coach Tony Sparano announced that he is benching starting QB Chad Henne this Sunday against the Titans and that backup Chad Pennington will start in his place.
Dolphins' defense takes a step back
The Joe Flacco-Ray Rice connection punished the Dolphins' defense on Sunday, handing Miami its first road loss of the season.
Dolphins dominate battle of trenches in win over Pack
The Dolphins' domination of the Packers in the trenches on both offense and defense Sunday is a promising sign for a team that is facing a difficult five-game stretch.
Thanks to Marshall, Henne living up to fantasy hype
Dolphins QB Chad Henne was one of the position's top fantasy sleepers heading into 2010, and he finally has begun to show why the past few weeks.
Spiller's role with Bills a work in progress
Although Fred Jackson is starting and Marshawn Lynch has been traded away, the role of Buffalo rookie RB C.J. Spiller is still unclear, according to AFC East Whispers.
Dolphins' passing game comes alive, but 'Wildcat' stumbles
The Dolphins unleashed a potent passing game in Sunday night's loss to the Jets, but it was their once-reliable "Wildcat" that kept points off the board.
Henne told to check down to backs
The Dolphins have instructed Chad Henne to utilize talented RBs Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams more often with check-down passes, according to AFC East Whispers.
Dolphins' Henne ready to take next step
There's much to like about Dolphins QB Chad Henne heading into the 2010 season. In fact, for fantasy football owners, he has starter potential.
Henne not guaranteed to start in 2010
Dolphins head coach Tony Sparano stopped short of giving QB Chad Henne a full endorsement as the starter for next season in his comments directly following a 2009 season that ended with a disappointing loss to the Steelers.
‹‹ previous 1 2 3 4 next ››
Henne completed 25 of 41 passes for 298 yards with two scores and three interceptions in the Jaguars' loss to the Titans on Sunday.||||||| Henne threw for 646 yards in his last two games, but added six interceptions with three touchdowns.

Making his first start in more than 13 months, Henne threw two touchdown passes and the Jacksonville Jaguars beat the Tennessee Titans 24-19 Sunday.||||||| Henne has 615 yards and six touchdowns over the past two games.

An MSC cruise ship docked at Kotor, Montenegro. Kotor is a small characterful Medieval town nestled under steep cliffs. The town's stunning setting is often described by the phrase 'Mediterranean Fjord'.
Sea Gate (or Main Gate)
The Sea Gate is the nearest of the old town's 3 main gates to the cruise dock; about a 5 minute stroll away. Forming part of the magnificent city walls the gate dates back to the 16th century, and provides easy access to Kotor old town.
Square of Arms and Clock Tower
Just inside the Sea Gate stands the Square of Arms, Kotor's biggest city square. It's name hails from Venetian times, when munitions were made and stored here. Around the square stand some of Kotor's most magnificent buildings, including the Arsenal building, the Napoleon theater and the imposing 16th century Clock Tower.
St Tryphon Cathedral
Venturing further into atmospheric old-town, you'll reach the Cathedral of St Tryphon, built in 1166 and a beautiful example of Romanesque architecture. See a silver-plated case filled with the relics of St Tryphon and 14th-century frescoes in the Treasury.
San Giovanni (or St John) Fortress
The spectacular old city walls do not just protect the city from the sea, but also climb over 850ft up the hill behind the city to protect from attack by land. Overall the walls measure some 4.5km in length and are in places up to 50ft high and 40ft wide. The fit and energetic can make the strenuous climb to San Giovanni Fortress, which marks the high point of the wall. Start from the north east corner of the old city, follow the zig-zag path up the hill, passing the Church of Our Lady of Health, to finally reach the tiny St Ivan chapel and the nearby Fortress.
Kotor Beach
Around a 5 minute walk north of Old Town there's a shingle beach, ideal for some down time. Go for a swim surrounded by the lovely scenery, then relax at the small beach bar.

LAS VEGAS, Feb. 4, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Builders today require high performance building solutions that meet strict codes and embrace the concepts of energy efficiency, durability and building science. Owens Corning is committed to providing builders with the resources and solutions they require to be successful. As part of that commitment, Owens Corning will showcase its building science expertise throughout the 2014 International Builders' Show (IBS) – both in the Owens Corning booth P16 and through educational presentations for builders.
Builders are invited to attend High Performance Building Zone presentations and training sessions on high performance insulation solutions for framing, walls, roofs and basements. By attending these sessions, builders will learn first-hand from industry experts about the various aspects of high performance wall systems, best practices for achieving R-value in the building envelope, and the science behind insulation systems that work. Builders also are invited to visit the Owens Corning booth and view the company's energy-efficient ResidentialComplete™ Wall System and a new industry resource: the Builder's Guide eBook.
"Success to us means providing builders with best-in-class insight, resources and solutions to make their jobs easy," said Achilles Karagiozis, global director of building science with Owens Corning. "We are pleased to share the expertise of our building science team and to provide attendees with important building science knowledge."
High Performance Training for Builders
To further educate builders on high performance insulation and wall systems, Owens Corning will host two educational sessions as part of its sponsorship of the High Performance Building Zone at Booth S2800. The sessions include:
Science on Display at Owens Corning Booth
Owens Corning invites IBS attendees to learn more about the company's high performance, energy-efficient ResidentialComplete™ Wall System, on display at the company's booth P16.
The ResidentialComplete™ Wall System is a customizable, continuous insulation exterior and interior wall system that provides complete energy efficiency, air, water and vapor barriers, and reduces exterior noise. The system also provides a layer of continuous insulation to thermally seal the exterior wall and minimize "thermal bridging."
The system helps builders meet codes in every region and every climate zone by combining proven Owens Corning insulation products, like FOAMULAR® XPS Rigid Foam Insulation, EcoTouch® Insulation, EnergyComplete® Sealant and JointSealR® Foam Joint Tape.
"Creating a truly energy-efficient building envelope goes beyond specifying one or two products in isolation," said Karagiozis. "Builders who choose a systemized insulation solution ensure that all of their components are tested and proven to work together efficiently to provide optimum protection and performance."
ResidentialComplete™ Wall Systems are available for wood, steel stud, concrete masonry and structural insulated panel (SIPs) construction types. It is among the first in the industry to meet the 2012 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) requirements. This allows builders to meet the latest building codes, and build a better, smarter home for consumers.
The wall system also will help homeowners save an average of more than 25 percent on heating and cooling costs.1
