Costa Rica - old physically and mentally disabled people are sheltered in private house by two women. Their only connection with the outside world is the stuff. I feel honored to have a possibility to work and share several weeks with them.
We underestimate the elderly. Not everyone who is sick, and having difficulty to walk does not mean they cannot do small tasks that make them useful. Being old does not mean they stopped having dreams.
The elders, according to statistics, often during holidays are sent to hospitals and family turn away almost immediately. They do not visit, do not worry about elder's condition and often leave no correct data to locate family house. People often treat hospitals as depositories for their elderly.
Children, grandchildren, siblings are taking advantage of the vulnerability of older adults in family to cheat, manipulate, take possession of the goods and finally to strip them of their homes, farms and other property. The consequences of this type of abuse ranging from the elderly depression, feeling betrayed, complete loss to physical abuse.
Elzbieta's main passion lies in documenting disappearing cultures and the human condition in unique, challenging situations with respect, compassion and dignity. Her determination to give a voice to the voiceless has driven her to document political, social and environmental injustices around the world.
With all the ambitions of an artist, she also employs her rigorous academic training to produce an in-depth reportage.
Elzbieta travels the world in search of that one photo which will reveal the story behind the eyes of strangers, that underlying magic which deserves to be seen and usually remains unnoticeable.

Decatur residents are on edge this holiday weekend after a recent rash of armed robberies.
Will Godfrey has one heck of a story to tell on this Fourth of July.
"When he pulled the trigger, I felt like it surprised him," Godfrey said.
He got a black eye this week when a thief punched him in the face and tried to steal his laptop while he was sitting in a chair in his front yard.
"Right when he gets to me I hit him in the face with a beer bottle and then he punches me in the eye and then I just squarely kicked him in the groin, I mean as hard as I possibly could and so he falls down at that point," Godfrey said.
Godfrey said it all began when two young men approached his house on Second Avenue in Decatur and asked for directions.
"The two guys started walking down the sidewalk and they get right to the end of the driveway and he says 'Hey man, do you know where the Edgewood MARTA station is?' I was like, 'yeah it's right down the street,'" Godfrey said.
Minutes later, one of the men pulled out a gun and fired the weapon, but that didn't stop Godfrey from fighting back.
"It was fight or flight and fight and flight we're all kicking in together," Godfrey said.
A day later, a similar incident happened up the street at Oakhurst Park. Two young men approached a group of women, fired a bullet into the air, then stole a cell phone and a car.
Cary Kennedy and her daughter, Olivia, heard the gunshot from their home next door to the park.
"It's just really scary. I let her go out and play on that playground all the time and it's ridiculous," Kennedy said.
To make matters worse, about an hour after the incident at Oakhurst Park, a woman was shot in the thigh and had her cell phone stolen at Gilliam Park in Atlanta's Kirkwood neighborhood. Godfrey says the suspects must be caught.
"I took the punch because he was going for the laptop, so he hit me on one side and he was trying to get the laptop so I swung around because he was right here to pull the laptop away from him," Godfrey said.
The Decatur Police Department plans to attend two neighborhood association meetings next week to discuss the crime wave. One at The Solarium at 7 p.m. on West Hill Street and the other at the Decatur Recreation Center on Sycamore Street at 7 p.m.

Why We WatchOctober 07, 2008, 01:04 AM
I'd like to apologize, I know its been forever and a day since I last blogged. Things have been a bit crazy at work. We are about to deliver the first episode of the show I'm currently editing, and its been a bit of a madhouse at the office trying to get it into top notch shape. Its really gotten me thinking about what makes people interested in the shows and movies they love to watch. What gives a show its draw? As this relates to the Harry Potter films, its sort of a double edged sword. Many...Comments (2)

While visiting our peninsula, we hope you find the time to enjoy some of our picturesque villages, outstanding restaurants, beautiful beaches and fine shopping. There is always much to do here. Autumn on Cape Cod is a very popular time and the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce and Hyannis Chamber have information on the many activities offered by our local communities. Visit their websites at www.capecodchamber.org and www.hyannischamber.com .
Last year's participants enjoyed exciting, competitive soccer on our great fields at our family-oriented tournament.
A tournament is a social event as well as a sporting event. Please leave your tempers at home and live by the words everyone loves to say, "This is for the kids." Barnstable Youth Soccer Association (BYSA) has worked hard to provide great facilities and services for this event. Things may not always go your way but politeness and sportsmanship are amazing cures for bad attitudes and hard times. Please be gracious in your wins and losses and remember it does not take a 10 goal spread to prove you won a game. Our primary objective is to provide levels of competition that are meaningful for all participants.
Dogs will not be allowed at any of the fields. This will be strictly enforced. Please plan accordingly for the safety of your pet.

Sonos Playbar set to enter your home theater
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: CES, CES 2013, Home Entertainment, Music, Rumors, Wireless / WiFi
We've declared our love for Sonos multiple times here on Gear Live, which is why we're excited about the prospect of the company bringing its product line into home theater. An FCC filing reveals that Sonos has indeed submitted documents related to a soundbar with integrated Wi-Fi (like all other Sonos products) that should play nicely with the Sonos SUB that was released earlier this year. Perhaps we'll get a look at this one at CES next week, pretty please?

Return to Ireland Housing Information Page
Located in the heart of the Dublin city center, Trinity College melds with the city and offers students every possible option for life outside of the classroom. Students studying with Arcadia at Trinity College live in Arcadia provided flats and are positioned in an ideal locale to mix with Irish society.
The flats are located in the residential neighborhoods south of the Dublin city center, concentrated in the Dublin 2, Dublin 4, and Dublin 6 areas. Each flat is within an easy commute of TCD, about a 20-30 minutes walk outside of the city center. Most flats accommodate three to five students, with a shared bathroom, kitchen and living area. Students should anticipate having to share a room; but while a single flat may be co-ed, any individual roommate will be of the same gender.
The accommodations are self-catered and students should anticipate preparing their own meals and shopping at a nearby grocery store. Each flat is equipped with a clothes washer, television, and telephone to be used with a calling card. None of the apartments have clothes dryers. As energy costs are so high in Ireland, most people dry their clothes on a clothes horse (rack). These are provided in each of the apartments. Wireless internet access is also provided.
Arcadia apartments are available only to students studying abroad with Arcadia in Dublin.
A €20 key deposit will be collected from students living in Arcadia housing.

From an opendemocracy article by Peter Kimani, Kenyan journalist (link):
Kenya is tottering on the precipice as post-election violence rocks different parts of the country, in what the Nobel Peace laureate Wangari Maathai calls "ethnic cleansing." But were the pogroms prefigured by Kenya's political elite long before the first ballot was cast?
The New Year could be the start of a long annus horribilis for Kenya, which faces its most uncertain days in a generation. Already last week's General Election, which saw President Mwai Kibaki officially re-elected as the head of the PNU (Party of National Unity), has triggered violence across the country that has claimed over 200 lives.
Among the casualties are 35 women and children burnt in a church in Eldoret, about four hours northwest of Nairobi, where they had sought refuge to escape election violence. Others who escaped the inferno were bludgeoned to death by warriors from the Kalenjin tribe.

I was reading a Men's Health Mag and it talked about what protein supplement you should get. And it mentioned to get the ones that are low in Carbs and Fat.... eg. Gold Standard Whey
I noticed the Opticen has a good amount of fat and carbs... I dont want to get all big, i want to get lean muscles? should i stop using Opticen? or should I just take less servings after workout which means less protein?
I am looking to do take protein as a meal replacement and post workout. should i stick it out with opticen to see what results i get or jump on something like gold standard
any thoughtS? thanks
It doesn't matter what, it matters how much. Foods and supplements don't inherently make you gain or lose weight.
If opticen is used in a reduced calorie diet it will support fat loss and muscle retention very well.

Meal replacement shakes SHOULD have fats and carbs since the meal that they are replacing will have them too. If you just want protein without all the fats and carbs, then check out Nitrean.

By CHARLES ODUMAP Sports Writer
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) - Kenny Gaines and Charles Mann each scored 22 points and Georgia overcame its worst shooting performance of the season to beat Alabama 66-58 on Saturday.
Georgia (8-6, 2-0 Southeastern Conference) made only 15 of 46 shots from the field (33 percent). Alabama (7-8, 1-1) also struggled, making only 37 percent of its shots.
Gaines set a career scoring high. Mann, who made 13 of 17 free throws, finished two points below his career high for the Bulldogs, who beat No. 21 Missouri in their SEC opener on Wednesday. No other Georgia player scored in double figures.
Trevor Releford led Alabama with 17 points, including 15 in the second half. Rodney Cooper had 15 and Shannon Hale had 14.
Marcus Thornton scored the first basket of the second half to give Georgia its biggest lead at 41-28.

One thing is for sure, we can always trust Chafee to throw a wild card.
Governor Chafee told us he was a proud independent. Then he became a Democrat.
Chafee insisted he was fundraising for his re-election campaign. Then he announced he won't be running.
Now, Chafee tells us he will finish out his term in office. Will he?
The question remains to be answered.
During his "big announcement" Chafee said he had no plans for the future yet and when pressed if he will accept a job in the Obama Administration he insisted he had no plans other than finishing his term as Governor.
It is no secret that the former Republican-turned independent- turned Democrat is on good terms with President Obama. Having served with Obama in the U.S. Senate, then being tapped to speak at the Democrat National Convention and even attracting the President's praise when he became a Democrat, it's no wonder the President's relationship to the governor of the smallest state has raised the eyebrows of political pundits. It is not out of the question to believe that Chafee's ambitions may lead him back to Washington... but where would that leave Rhode Island?
If Chafee bails on RI mid-term to accept an Obama appointment, or (though slightly less likely) to appoint himself Senator in the event that either Senator Whitehouse is tapped to take U.S. Attorney General Holder's place, that leaves Rhode Island in the hands of the Lt. Governor Elizabeth Roberts.
Roberts, who is term limited as Lt. Gov., has been all too quiet as speculation begins to stir over who will run for Governor, don't be fooled by her less than aggressive manner toward her political future. If she steps into the Governor's role mid-term she promises to be a fierce contender in the 2014 Gubernatorial race.
Roberts would go into the 2014 race as the incumbent, female Governor, thus destroying General Treasurer Gina Raimondo's female wow-factor right off the bat. That is, Raimondo would no longer have the novelty of leading the way for Rhode Island to have a female Governor.
Roberts would also go into the race with powerful allies in Rhode Island's unions and that is a force that Raimondo would be hard sought to overcome. It is no question Roberts would be a huge blow the current advantage enjoyed by Raimondo but where would that leave Providence Mayor Angel Taveras?
Taveras could challenge Roberts' stronghold on the union, however, Roberts has been around longer than Taveras and may have won union loyalty. Taveras could give her a run for her money but she would still have the power of incumbency.
Taveras will certainly grab the Latino vote, Raimondo the more conservative vote and Liz Roberts is likely to grab the more liberal factor of the party. Essentially, Roberts will have the strong advantage of the vote of the most organized portion of the party; the far left.
Outside of the Democrats this scenario would mean bad news for the Republican bid for Governor.
Cranston Mayor Allan Fung, a likely contender, would face quite the battle to overcome an incumbent female Governor. She would have the power of incumbency, the "she-factor," and a strong fundraising base, let's not forget this would not be Roberts' first rodeo on the statewide scale.
If Ken Block, the currently Moderate-"I'm considering being a Republican" managed to grab the Republican bid, he would struggle with the same issues as Allan Fung, as well as a name recognition crisis compared to the well-known incumbent Governor, who landed in the seat by bizarre political circumstances. Finally that leaves past gubernatorial candidate John Robitaille, who probably wouldn't even make it to a primary because he is likely to head for the hills if this landscape shapes out, after all, he has been the most thoughtful about the political landscape when considering whether he should seek the office. So while Republicans have not been quiet about their excitement with the Governor's decision they should look closely at what this means for their political future.
Once again, in a way only Governor Chafee could do the Rhode Island political landscape has been rocked. While the political future for RI may be uncertain one thing is certain, things will be a lot less quirky when Governor Chafee leaves the State House.

With Adrian Gonzalez now a member of the Dodgers -- along with nearly every other long-term contract in baseball -- the Boston Red Sox are on the lookout for a first baseman this winter. Ben Cherington and company could decide to re-sign James Loney to man first on a short-term basis, but it's just as likely they will look elsewhere for first-base help.
Now a day in to the annual GM meetings, word has surfaced that free agents Mike Napoli and Adam LaRoche "on the Red Sox first base radar", per Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe.
Napoli, 31, spent a majority of his time behind the plate for the Texas Rangers the last two seasons, but has played first base a considerable amount -- 133 games -- over the past three years. The righty slugger had a bit of a down year this season compared to his mammoth 2011, but Napoli still hit .227/.343/.469 with 24 home runs in just 108 games. Napoli's ability to relieve Jarrod Saltalamacchia and/or Ryan Lavarnway behind the dish in addition to manning first could make him a valuable piece for Boston.
LaRoche, 33, still has to decide whether to accept his one-year, $13.3 million qualifying offer from the Nationals before he will become available to the Red Sox and the rest of the MLB. The veteran had a career year at the plate this past season, hitting .271/.343/.510 with 33 home runs and 100 RBI, so it's likely he will take his chances on the open market rather than stay with the Nats on a one-year deal.
LaRoche was briefly a part of the Red Sox organization between trades in 2009. The left-handed slugger was acquired from the Pirates for two players before being shipped off to Atlanta in exchange for Casey Kotchman a week later.

4. Yet another sanctuary from the end of the world feels like it's there already. The hotels in the northern Chilean oasis town of San Pedro de Atacama, on the edge of one of the world's largest salt deposits, have been reporting full bookings for the 21st. This town will be the last, safest place on Earth — rumors substantiated only, it seems, by the place's otherworldly beauty, near the so-called Valley of the Moon. Other factors include its air purity, which favors astronomical observation, and the presence of the lophophora, a cactus with hallucinogenic qualities, which favors observation of a less scientific kind. The local police are on high alert, and the town's mayor has ordered tents to be at the ready to deal with the influx of apocalypse-spotters.
5. End-of-day-watching on a budget can be done near Megiddo, a town in northern Israel where hotel rooms are still cheap and plenty. Like Chelsea, it is grossly overlooked by the present batch of doomsday-trippers. Yet the town, founded in 1949 by Holocaust survivors and currently on the edge of the West Bank, is located near the biblical site known as Armageddon (which may derive from Har, or Mount, Megiddo). Not only was this valley the site of several biblical battles and one British-Ottoman engagement at the end of World War I, but it will also be, according to certain end-times prophecies, the location of the final battle between Good and Evil at the end of the world. There's lots of disagreement on the nature of this battle, but it almost never involves aliens — or Mayans.
When the time will come, nobody knows. But when it does, you can reach Megiddo from Tel Aviv on the 823 bus. As you no doubt have noticed, 823 is the reverse of 328 — the number of the London bus to the World's End. Coincidence? We think not! Do bring your own refreshments, though; there's no pub at the end of this ride.

vacation rental description
The Terrace at Pelican Beach, built in 1999, is a luxury highrise in
the Heart of Destin. It is located on the same property as Pelican
Beach Resort, directly across from the Big Kahuna Water Theme Park.
My three bedroom two bath condo is on the ninth floor, with
unbelieveable views of the water, the Destin Harbor, and the Destin
Bridge. The building is set back from the beach about 250 yards, but
there is no street to cross. The distance between the Terrace and
the beach is the parking lot and the boardwalk in the resort. I
have five units in Destin, and this one has my favorite view. I also
help manage other units in Destin. The condo has a king in the
master, a queen in the second bedroom, and two twin beds in the
third. The family room furniture has a queen sleeper sofa. The unit was painted throughout and and new carpet was put in in December of 2009. There are four TV's and four DVD's (one in each bedroom and one in the family room), DVD in the family room also. The kitchen seats six at the table and four at the counter.
The balcony stretches the width of the condo, with table and chairs.
The master bath has a Jacuzzi tub. Each room is very nicely
decorated. It is a very spacious condo, approximately 1300 square
feet. There is WIFI inside the unit.
From The Terrace, you can walk to many stores, restaurants, and fun
things to do. There are dune buggies, a water park, bungee jumping,
and an arcade right across the street. You can walk to Wings, a
popular souvenier shop, fast food, and the new Winn-Dixie. The
theater is two blocks away. Take a walk down the beach to The Back
Porch, a famous Destin landmark.
If you need a 3bed/3bath I have #1201 at the Terrace. If you need a smaller condo I have multiple 1bed+bunks/2 baths and 2bed/2baths at Pelican Beach Resort for rentals.
A couple of brand new shopping and dining areas that you will not
want to miss. At the corner of Highway 98 and the Mid-Bay Bridge
intersection, there is a brand new shopping/dining complex called
Destin Commons. It has a 16 theater movie complex, lots of great
stores (Abercrombie, Limited Too, Black and White Market, Build a
Bear, Pro Bass Fishing, Sharper Image, to name a few. This spring
they plan to open a Hard Rock Cafe, Johnny Rockets, and several
other eateries!! In the Sandestin Resort, you will not want to miss the
new Baytowne Wharf area. Shops and restaurants overlooking the
Choctawatchee Bay with a pier where they will shuttle you from the
entrance of the resort to the area by boat free of charge.
Or just sit back with your catch after a day of deep-sea fishing,
grill right there at the condo, and watch the sunset. Destin beaches
are the prettiest, whitest, sandy beaches in the country. The water
is an emerald green color. If you have never been to Destin, you are
in for a real treat. No matter how long you stay, it is never enough!
My rates are lower than any realty company and the resort rates.
I keep my rates lower than anything you can find, so I can keep my
units booked and keep repeat happy customers. Please feel free to
call me with any questions you may have. I have been renting my own
units in Destin for eleven years now.
condo rental amenities
The amenities of Pelican Beach Resort can not be beat anywhere in
Destin. The Terrace has a beautiful heated pool with a Jacuzzi
attached. Barbecue grills, and a really nice workout facility. There
is security at the entrance, covered parking, two tennis courts, and
At the other building, Pelican Beach, there is a deli style
restaurant with a small store, movie rentals at the front desk, a
game room, another workout facility with a steam room and sauna, a
baby pool, an indoor/outdoor heated pool, another outdoor pool with
a waterfall, a jacuzzi overlooking the beach, a tiki bar that serves
drinks overlooking the beach, beach umbrella and chair rentals, and
kids activities during the summer that are poolside and free. We
also have a kids' camp daily during the summer for a charge. They
offer parents night out several nights a week!
No where else in a highrise on or near the beach in Destin, can you
find these amenities. There is also an oversized golf cart to take
you between the two buildings if you have a lot to carry. But
honestly, the distance is just a minute or two, and is really not an
inconvienence at all. I also own two two bedrooms (first and fifth
floors) in the Pelican building, and can help you book other one and
two bedrooms within the resort. I have an 8th and 16th floor one
bedroom two bath also.

Anybody want to go JTree for a couple days? My partner fell through. I have rope, rack, and car and will be driving down from NorCal so can pick people up on the way down (LA ect). Let me know. Would love to get out and do some climbing
I'd be down for Sunday the 6th. I'm in Redlands, and it only takes me about an hour to get to JTree. Have a rack, brand new rope, and in the spirit of full disclosure can only follow up to about 5.9.
Brian- We should maybe meet up! I'm in Forest Falls and have lots of free time during the week, if that's your bag. I lead mid/high 10's @ JTree currently, and I enjoy the slab there as well as cracks.

Cirencester company Neon Play helps disabled students at National Star College keep in touch with technology
Updated 10:07am Tuesday 4th February 2014 in News By Megan Archer, Reporter
CIRENCESTER mobile games company Neon Play is helping disabled students keep in touch with technology.
The company came to the rescue when it heard that students from National Star College were missing out on using emerging technologies such as high definition video playback and some of the latest versions of social media applications.
The company donated a new touch screen PC to the college which supports young people with disabilities.
Neon Play employs 21 full-time workers and three students and also donates a percentage of its profits to local charities.
CEO Oli Christie said he was blown away by the National Star students.
"I had the most incredible time going round the college and I was incredibly moved by what I saw," he said.
"All the team there do an incredible job. We look forward to helping them again in the future and to building a long and meaningful relationship."
Head of fundraising for National Star Kate Green said the charity was thrilled to be partnered with Neon Play.
"Oli and his team have helped put Gloucestershire on the map and they understand completely how computers and technology can improve the lives of our students. Donations such as these make a real difference to the students' lives."

Forecasters are keeping an eye on Tropical Storm Sandy, which was kicking up 50 mile-per-hour winds Tuesday in the Atlantic and headed toward hurricane status, according to forecasters.
"One of the scenarios is actually quite threatening to the northeastern U.S.," said the Weather Channel's hurricane specialist Bryan Norcross.
Once the storm's winds ramp up to 80 miles per hour Wednesday and Thursday heading through Cuba, Jamaica and the Bahamas, one scenario has it turning toward the Mid-Atlantic.
Climate Central's Andrew Freedman said it's what happens after passing the Bahamas that may be concerning: "...think if a hurricane and nor'easter mated, possibly spawning a very rare and powerful hybrid storm, slamming into the Boston-to-Washington corridor early next week, with rain, snow, damaging winds, and potential storm surge flooding."
The Capital Weather Gang's Brian McNoldy explained that the ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) model has the storm coming up the mid-Atlantic coast "as a hurricane or possibly a hybrid tropical/nor'easter storm. It simulates flooding rain, strong wind, and destructive storm surge and coastal erosion affecting every state in the mid-Atlantic and Northeast. The model also would suggest snow at higher elevations in the interior. This simulation is also a bit of an outlier, but since the ECWMF is historically one of the better models, it should not be dismissed."
Northern Virginians won't soon forget Hurricane Irene, which blew into town last year in August as a tropical storm, bringing down trees all over the state that knocked out power and resulted in five deaths. The next month, Tropical Storm Lee hit the area.
Hurricane Irene was retired from the official list of Atlantic Basin tropical storm names by the World Meteorological Organization's (WMO) hurricane committee because of the fatalities and damage it caused and was replaced by Irma.
This is a list of retired hurricane names.
This year's hurricane season still has another five weeks to go until it's officially over on Nov. 30.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of people applying for U.S. unemployment benefits ticked down last week after dropping sharply the previous week, evidence hiring could pick up this month.
Weekly applications dropped 1,000 to a seasonally adjusted 367,000 in the week ending May 5, the Labor Department said Thursday. The previous week's figure was revised up slightly.
The four-week average, a less volatile measure, fell by 5,250 to 379,000. It was the first decline since late March.
Applications are a measure of the pace of layoffs. When they stay consistently below 375,000, it suggests job growth is strong enough to lower the unemployment rate.
Applications are falling again after rising for most of April. The spike in applications coincided with weaker hiring in March and April. That raised fears that the job market is sputtering after a strong winter.
From December through February, employers had created an average 252,000 jobs a month. That was the best three months of job growth since the recession ended in June 2009, not counting months thrown off by the hiring of temporary census workers in 2010.
The unemployment rate has dropped a full percentage point since August — to 8.1 percent in April.
The recent jobs picture has been clouded by an unseasonably warm winter. That allowed construction firms and other companies to hire earlier than usual, effectively stealing jobs from the spring. Economists are puzzling out how much of the slower hiring in March and April was weather-related payback and how much reflects economic weakness.
More than 500,000 Americans have left the work force since February. That's one reason — and not a good one — that unemployment has continued to fall. People who are out of work but not looking for jobs aren't counted among the unemployed.
The economy grew at a disappointing 2.2 percent from January through March, a rate consistent with less than 110,000 new jobs a month.
There's still has a long way to go. The United States has regained only about 3.8 million, or 43 percent, of the 8.8 million jobs lost during and immediately after the recession.
The number of people receiving unemployment benefits also dropped. That is partly because extended benefit programs are winding down. More than 6.4 million people received benefits during the week that ended April 21, down nearly 175,000 from the previous week.
The government did release some good news this week: In March, employers advertised 3.74 million job openings, the most since July 2008. The increase in U.S. job openings suggests that weaker hiring gains in March and April could be temporary. It usually takes one to three months for employers to fill openings.

Dear Sir/Ma'am
I am posting this with very heavy heart. There are lot's of issues that I am facing during the installation of my Application.
My J2ME Application is signed by Verisign omitting the jarsign step, and is installed on S60 and S40 Nokia mobiles.
It uses pushRegisty (both dynamic(checked once) and static) for SMS, HttpConnection, FileConnection, PIM, RMS, XML handling sending or
receiving of SMS. The mode of installation may be any :OTA, bluetooth, datacable. I have compiled the application using NetBeans 6.71 and wtk 2.5.
Problems I face are:
1. After so many installations in 5700 Nokia Ex. Music, there times come that on every second day of installation the application stops opening.
Then sometimes it deletes the existing record store to install over the previous installation.
2. In s40 series (any mobile: 3200, 5200, 7200) when the application is installed, it installs successfully first time, next time I have to upgrade
the app version, then it will install. Problem is that whenever there is an error or say the app is running and the battery is removed, the
Application Manager stops seeing that the application had registered with the same port number. It says there is a conflict, some different
application uses the same port, while this is not a case. The other applications that were registered seem to be unregistered also.
3. Sometimes installation of the application using the OTA fails when the unauthorized exception comes, while the certificate is installed already. I
have known that if you don't clear the cache then the problem occurs.
4. I display the version of the application in an alert using the JAD entry. Sometimes the application is installed and displays some previous version.
Please help, the noose is around my neck.
I will be highly obliged.

COUNCILLOR Peter Cox says his future with a mining committee will rest with Energy Resources Minister Nick Kotsiras, who met with him in Bendigo on Thursday.
"I'm satisfied he will assess the situation fairly and carry out discussions with all parties," Cr Cox said.
Cr Cox was axed as chair of the committee on Tuesday, in a move that surprised both he and Mr Kotsiras.
Mr Kotsiras said he had not been advised of the decision and was "annoyed" with his department.
He said Thursday's meeting with Cr Cox was a constructive conversation. He said he would meet with Unity Mining on Friday to investigate the matter further.
Cr Cox said he was glad Mr Kotsiras took the time to meet with him. He said he would return as chair if the Minister offered to reappoint him.
"I would take that responsibility on again," he said.
"I'll accept (Mr Kotsiras') decision once he has made it. That will be up to him to determine my role. It will be interesting to see how Unity Mining react to his meeting."
Fellow Bendigo councillors have expressed their support for Cr Cox to remain on the Environmental Review Committee.
Mayor Barry Lyons attended Thursday's meeting alongside Cr Cox.
"We're very supportive of Cr Cox being the delegate," Cr Lyons said. "Nothing's changed there."
Cr Helen Leach said all councillors were backing him to stay on the committee.
Cr Elise Chapman praised Cr Cox as the best person for the job.
She said she believed Cr Cox was sacked due to the publication of comments he made at last November's council meeting.
"Unity mining has leapt to conclusions about what the Bendigo Advertiser printed," she said.
"He spoke for 10 or 15 minutes and the Bendigo Advertiser reported only two or three sentences of what he said. Somebody has now made tragic decisions based on what has been reported."
Mr Kotsiras said he would make a statement on Cr Cox's future early next week.

The economy is tough right now. Unemployment is persistently high. Jobs are hard to find.
What if you want to start over, sort of like the homesteaders of the 1800s? You stake your claim to free land and create your life from scratch.
It can be done today in two different ways. This article points out that there are towns giving away free land:
Do you get 40 acres? No. But free is free, and the best on the list may be this one:
The City of Beatrice currently has three residential lots available. The lots are approximately 83 feet wide and 140 feet deep. The lots are located on the west side of Beatrice. They are within the City limits. The lots all have access to a street, water, sewer, and electricity. There are no buildings on the lots. If you fulfill all of the terms and conditions of the contract you will receive the land at no cost from the City.
Beatrice is a reasonably sized small town and is fairly close to major cities:
[googlemaps http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Beatrice,+NE&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=51.089971,56.601563&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Beatrice,+Gage,+Nebraska&t=h&ll=40.268055,-96.74697&spn=0.022922,0.036478&z=14&iwloc=A&output=embed&w=425&h=350]
If you read through the terms and conditions, you will not be able to build a sod house. But, again, free is free.
If you don't want to build a house on a lot, what about buying a house that is nearly free? I tried this search at Realtor.com: Detroit houses between $0 and $10,000:
Search Results – Detroit, MI Real Estate and Homes for Sale – $0 to $10,000
I am seeing 1,600 homes that fall into that category. Try it in other cities. You may be surprised.
What did homesteading look like 140 years ago? This video includes summarized instructions for building a sod house.
What does homesteading look like today? This could easily be done on any suburban lot:
This page describes the original homesteading act:
In 1862, Congress passed the revolutionary Homestead Act that sent thousands of Americans west in pursuit of free land. Any man 21 years of age or over was eligible to stake out 160 acres of land for less than $20. After filing their intentions, homesteaders were required to live on the land, build a residence, and farm at least 10% of it within five years before a legal patent for the land was issued. After Alaska was purchased by the U.S., homesteaders began claiming land in Alaska. Homesteaders ranged from dairy and agricultural farmers to miners and wilderness pioneers living a subsistence lifestyle. Though homesteading in most of the U.S. began to rapidly diminish in the early 20th century, it remained a viable method of settling Alaska. The Homestead Act was finally repealed in 1976, though Alaska was granted an extension until 1986. In its 114 active years, 10% of U.S. land was settled under the act, including significant portions of Alaska.

The reason to bring this up is that apparently UC coaches are telling recruits they are Big 12 bound.
Color me shocked that a coach would fudge the truth about future conference affiliation to nab a recruit, in this case the best JUCO defensive tackle in the land. It has happened before, and will happen for as long as realignment remains a thing, which seems to be in perpetuity.
There is the usual collection of twitter nonsense from guys like Mhver3, Greg Swaim and the artist formerly known as the dude of West Virginia. Those guys are good to follow for the unintentional comedy, and because they are talking about expansion when no one else is. If they say it is happening cautious optimism is best.
As we all know the Big 12 offices are based in Dallas, but run through Austin. On that front there is nothing from Texas. All of the noise is coming from West Virginia at the moment, which makes sense because the Hurricane of rumors currently has Oliver Luck in it's eye.
After all he is the man tapped by most to replace the venerable DeLoss Dodds as the University of Texas's athletic director. At this point he is the last guy standing
The West Virginia athletic director, who possesses a UT law degree, interviewed strongly in a lengthy meeting with the eight-member advisory committee. Arizona State AD Steve Patterson was scheduled to interview Sunday. Sources indicated that an official announcement could come soon, but might wait until after Texas' game Saturday at West Virginia to avoid an awkward situation. Announced or not, Luck will be the center of attention.
Bearcats interest in Luck should be two fold. There is the long held assumption (probably correct) that the Big 12 office is based in Dallas but run from Austin. As such the man who will occupy Dodds chair will have immense power to shape the direction of the Big 12.
If you posses a pro expansion mindset then you should be rooting for Luck to get that job. He just seems more likely to listen to the pleas of Fox Sports for more inventory and new markets to tap than the other candidates. Because of his experience in the upper reaches of the NFL management and as the CEO of the Houston Dynamo in MLS. This is purse speculation on my part, but I would think that experience would lead to him acquiescing to the needs and wants of the Big 12's network partners, where as Dodds has been firmly against expansion beyond the replacements for Missouri and Texas A&M.
My guess is that there are a lot of bars that have to be cleared to get the Big 12 to the point that they actively talk of expansion. But if they get to the point where they want to go to 12 or 14 the Bearcats are probably in. As it turns out the University of Cincinnati ticks an awful lot of boxes.
I've been mentioning Cincinnati as a strong Big 12 expansion candidate for awhile, but it wasn't until constructing this index did I see how the school really does hit virtually every metric that the conference should be seeking. Among the Group of Five schools, its Football Brand Value is strong with multiple BCS bowl appearances and consistent performances over the past several years despite a number of coaching changes. The state of Ohio is a football recruiting powerhouse with only one in-state power conference competitor (albeit a massive one in the form of Ohio State). The school's academics are solid, it has a great basketball history and its location is in a major market with probably the best geographic bridge to West Virginia of any viable candidate. The only question with Cincinnati is whether it can really perform any better on-the-field that it already has in football during the past few years. Still, that's a minor issue compared to how the school has created a consistently competitive football program. So, if the Big 12 were to expand today, it's clear that Cincinnati and BYU have a huge gap over the rest of the field. Whether that type of expansion would be compelling enough to the Big 12 to make a move at all is still an open question.

Dem Senate Leadership Stupid on Southwick, Part II
by KevinH, Wed Oct 03, 2007 at 06:23:15 AM EDT
You may remember the stupidity of the Senate Judiciary Committee this past summer, where Chairman Leahy put off the vote on the nomination to the federal 5th Circuit Court of Appeals of right-wing bigot Judge Leslie Southwick until Republicans had enough votes to win. Whereas, if Leahy had held the vote early in the summer, he had the votes to defeat the nomination.
Well, Majority Leader Reid is proving just as incompetent.
From Rollcall:
Reid earlier had indicated he would hold a confirmation vote on the divisive nominee before the brief October recess, which begins Friday. But Democrats close to Reid said Monday the Majority Leader has no plans to add the nomination to the calendar unless and until GOP Senators ask for it.
"From everything we can see, Republican Senators are still trying to shore up their votes," said a high-level Democratic Senate staffer. "The fact is, the Republicans aren't pressing for a vote. They need more time and we understand they are looking for more time to work on improving their vote total."
Republicans acknowledge they still are trying to corral the votes they need to avert a filibuster and install Southwick, a former Mississippi appeals court judge, to a lifetime appointment on the New Orleans-based federal bench. But GOP sources also pointed out Monday that Reid, as the Majority Leader, controls the calendar and ultimately will decide when votes are cast.
Yep, that's right. Republicans need more time to improve their vote total, so we won't put the nomination on the calendar until Republicans ask for it.

LAWTON, Okla_A record number of runners took advantage of Saturday's annual 5-K Jingle Jog in hopes of shedding some holiday weight.
Each year the 5-K and 1 mile walk serve as a fundraiser for the Cameron University Cross Country team. The proceeds help fund everything from new equipment to road trips throughout the season, while giving the community an opportunity to get in shape.
It is so easy to pack on those frustrating holiday pounds during a time when so many delicious foods are usually abundant. Cameron students say between Thanksgiving and then Christmas and of course the New Year, it is the perfect time to remind people to not let their health fall to the wayside.
After the horn blared, the joggers were off and running, doing something Cameron University Cross Country coach, Casey Kreger has done and promoted nearly all his life.
Kreger said, "It's not just a thing for a fundraiser, it's also to promote health and running because I love running, so to see other people do it that are new to it, it's rewarding."
Kreger, a Cameron University graduate, said over the past several years he has watched running grow in popularity, even in Lawton. As an avid runner he knows the importance of living a healthy lifestyle.
Kreger explained, "It's huge to incorporate running into your lifestyle. Not just with how fast you're running or anything like that, just come out here, be healthy, be in a more positive environment."
Saturday's 1st place winner, Brandon Purdeu, is also no stranger to the sport.
"I just, I love running. So I run 6-7 days a week, and usually I run ultra-marathon types of events, " said Purdeu.
Ultra marathons span across two days requiring participants to run over 100 miles. It is a feat that is not easy, but one that Purdeu lives for.
Purdeu said, "It's the ultimate challenge. It starts off with a 5K, then a 10K and then a half marathon and you just kind of keep wondering how far can I take this?"
Today he finished at his personal best, just under 18 minutes. But Purdeu said while he enjoys pushing himself to the brink, it is not necessary to stay in shape. He said a simple short walk or jog can do anyone, athlete or not, a world of good.
Purdeu explained, "Any sort of physical exercise to start your day makes you happier throughout the day, it makes you more productive, it relieves stress, it gives you other goals in your life besides your career. For me it's 'me time'. I just walk out the door and have my time that I can think about my day and my goals. It's good to be active, it's good to be outside."
Purdeu said before a run, remember to eat. He said vegetables and limited processed foods are a part of his daily diet.
This was the 6th year for the Jingle Jog fundraiser. Its popularity has grown every year, and participation nearly doubled from this year to last.

On Aug. 5, the day The Washington Post sale to Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos was announced, staff members were as stunned as readers, according to Post columnist David Ignatius.
On a recent "Meet The Press" panel about the future of journalism, Ignatius discussed the despair at the Post that the paper would no longer be owned by the Graham family, who had been at the helm for 80 years.
Ignatius said it wasn't until a few hours later that it started dawning on the staff that the resources that Bezos would be bringing to the Post would be practically endless, as would the opportunities to recreate the news in a way that perhaps would be even better than it ever has been.
That's exciting.
I know, I don't work for the Washington Post, but I recently sat next to a former Post editor while in New York where I accepted the Mirror Award on behalf of The Missouri Press Association for the documentary film on The Joplin Globe called "Deadline in Disaster."
Her take on the future of the press was the same as Greenberg's. The reinvention of the newsroom is going to be an exciting ride.
So, was sitting in a room filled with cigarette smoke in 1976 and banging out copy on an old typewriter really the "good old days"?
Some may remember it that way, but take it from me — it wasn't.
As I rapidly approach my 37th year in the newspaper business, I still wake up every day with that sense that something exciting is going to happen and that my staff and I are going to be a part of bringing you that story.
I think the real "good old days" are yet to come.
