I found an official long description of the upcoming Eva Longoria exec-produced ABC pilot Devious Maids, helmed by Desperate Housewives director Marc Cherry. I have no further comments on this subject; enough was said in THIS previous post.
I will only say though, that after reading the synopsis below, my opinion of the show hasn't changed. Whatsoever.
Via DeviousMaids.net:
They wash clothes they can't afford, polish silver they'll never dine with, and sometimes, they sleep with their employers' husbands. It's all in a days work for a Beverly Hills maid. They're constantly surrounded by wealth and privilege, yet they're never allowed to forget that they're just the help. Meet Rosie (Dania Ramirez – Entourage), Marisol (Ana Ortiz – Ugly Betty), Carmen (Roselyn Sanchez – Without a Trace), Valentina (Edy Ganem – Like Crazy), and Zoila (Judy Reyes – Scrubs). It's their job to clean up the messes left by the rock stars, filthy rich billionaires, and self-centered celebrities they work for. Even, if it means cleaning up a murder. But these ladies are anything but pushovers. They've all got their eyes on a bigger prize: a better life here in America.
Whether it's immigrating their child from Mexico, or having a career in music, they'll do whatever it takes, including flirting with the bosses' son, blackmailing a philandering husband, or hiding an addict's drugs. And they're always there for each other. When their friend and fellow maid Flora is found brutally murdered, she took a shocking secret to her grave. Now, the Devious Maids will do anything to protect it. Between the spoiled-rotten "haves" and these beautiful "have not's," there's plenty of upstairs-downstairs intrigue. Marc Cherry, the creator of the Emmy-winning Desperate Housewives, takes you out of the burbs and into a whole new neighborhood: the palm tree-lined streets and mansions of Beverly Hills for a fun, soapy peek inside the sordid lifestyles of the rich and famous.

I remember seeing/reading a George Lopez(comedian) interview
When he finally got his mainstream shot, the producers wanted his tv show to literally be a Latino "Beverly Hill Billies"...showing "poor rural Mexicans" and their culture shock by landing in an affluent L.A. setting.
He talked them out of it...even knowing that this was his big shot. ...and they could have just replaced him.
Nuff said.

This sounds like oven roasted garbage. I reserved judgement and comment in the other post, but this show needs to be put down in its infancy. Sorry ladies, I know you have bills to pay. Seriously, what does it say that the first show led by a Latina cast on a major US network is about maids? Before you know it we'll be hearing about a pilot called "Morally Bankrupt Mammies".

Isn't an acting job an acting job? Don't everyone need to work? (Partially joking)
Gigi Young | April 2, 2012 11:28 PM
As someone else said on Clutch, why be upset about the maid concept (and clever how they're marketing it as an "upstairs/downstairs soap" on the heels of Downton Abbey's success) when the Latina actresses will have inner lives, love interests, look glamorous and sexy, etc etc? Plus, I'm pleased they've cast black Latinas on the show, instead of adhering to the line that Latinas only look like Roslyn and Ana.

"When their friend and fellow maid Flora is found brutally murdered, she took a shocking secret to her grave. Now, the Devious Maids will do anything to protect it. "
Um isn't this some variation of how Desperate Housewives started...one trick pony much Marc Cherry. I'm still disgusted that this is the best networks are willing to do for Latinos on English language tv. Such a waste of talent.

11/9/09 Ask Charlotte
Question: Why are all the dorms and buildings really warm even when it's warm outside? I live in Saxton, and I sweat even if I am lying in bed. Is there a way to turn down the heat in our rooms?
Answer: This is an issue that comes up periodically—particularly in spring and fall, when outside temperatures may vary greatly. We need look no further than earlier this week for such an example—when the day began very frostily, but warmed up to such an extent that most of the Hartwick community went coatless!
The following comes from my friends in Facilities:
Saxton is our largest dorm, and is divided into six zones. Heating is accomplished by signals sent from the zone sensors to the boiler and pumps. When a sensor indicates a need for heat, the pump is turned on and hot water flows through the radiators into the area needing heat. There is often residual heat in the pipes and heater even if the pump is off that will continue to radiate until the pipes reach room temperature.
Some rooms may be warmer or cooler than the ideal set point, depending on their location in relation to the boiler room, the direction of prevailing winds, and absorbed heat in the bricks through direct sunlight, which in turn radiate during the night. The Saxton boiler has a limit switch which shuts itself off when the outside air temperature is above 55 degrees, but if the temperature rises quickly during the day we can have a large amount of residual heat that needs to radiate before equilibrium is accomplished.
If your room is frequently too warm please submit a work order and facilities will address it as soon as possible. It may mean that a sensor is out of calibration or that the boiler needs adjustment.
Question: My friends and I keep walking past the spot where Arnold Hall used to be, and we keep wondering—exactly what is a rain garden and how does it differ from a regular garden? In what way is it benefiting our campus community?
Answer: A rain garden is a low area that is intended to absorb the runoff that inevitably results from large amounts of rain on pavement, roofs, and other 'impervious' surfaces. Rain gardens are usually planted with native, water-loving vegetation that also helps to absorb water. In heavy rain, rain gardens can accommodate several inches of water that slowly filter through the dirt and rocks rather than rushing into a storm drain. In this way they can help reduce flooding while filtering out pollutants—so that smaller amounts of cleaner water eventually make their way to local creeks and streams.
In addition to being very environment-friendly (and friendly to our neighbors downhill), the Hartwick College rain garden offers a wild spot in the midst of campus that is attractive to birds and insects—and a spot lovely to look at, in my humble opinion.
Question: Hey Charlotte, my friends and I have had several experiences where there has been hair in our food in the Commons. We know the hair comes from the people working in the Commons because it is very short hair, and we are all girls and have very long hair. How come they are allowed to have long facial hair while preparing food? Even if it is within the NYS laws, it still seems gross and unsanitary.
Answer: This is, of course, something that the staff of the Commons does their best to prevent. No one likes to find hair in their food--and should any customer find a piece of hair in their food, please bring it to the immediate attention of the manager in charge so that the area can be checked for further contamination. Your assistance in helping to prevent this happening is greatly appreciated!
The Commons follows the strict guidelines set forth by the NYS Department of Health in regards to food safety and sanitation standards. Hair restraints are required for all personnel working in prep and production areas. Please know that the Commons employees are diligent in making sure that their stations are kept up to standard. While we do our best to maintain and manage these standards (with the help of sneeze guards and limiting access to work areas), we serve more than 1,300 customers in the area each day. There is always the possibility of a hair falling off the sleeve of a customer reaching for a dessert or slice of deli meat, or any of the dishes served at the Commons.

Jane's Addiction had the gall and attitude to release their very first EP as a live album. That alone should tell you where this disc is coming from. Unlike what the Editorial would make you think, theres nothing punk about Janes, they've always been the red, raw underbelly of a bizarre experiment with Glam Rock and Psychedelia, and there is no better way to hear them than this live, no coverups or touch ups gem.
I personally tend to HATE live discs as they sound like that bunch of garbage the Hendrix estate has been putting out that were no more than cheap bootlegs, but this disc is nothing of the sort. The first few times I heard this, I had no clue it was live, I thought they were adding crowd sounds to give it a feel, and there isn't much of that. The performance is phenominal, and the mix is amazingly consistent for live disc.
If you love Janes and you don't have this one yet, buy it now. You can kick yourself later.

When it comes to updating BMW models, Lumma Design is usually one of the tuning firms that can be counted on to do an amazing job. Their latest project - called the CLR 600 GT - is proof of that. It's based on the new BMW 650i Convertible , but improved with a power boost of 90 HP.
To achieve the extra power, Lumma Design modified the engine's electronics and added a new flow-optimized muffler with four stainless steel tail pipes, each 90 millimeters in diameter. As a result, the V8 engine now delivers a total of 490 HP and a peak torque of 531 lb-ft. Top speed has also been increased to 160 mph.
The exterior of the BMW 650i Convertible was also slightly modified, getting a new front spoiler with LED daytime driving lights, new side skirts, and a new rear diffuser, as well as the obligatory new set of 20" alloy rims in a racing spokes design and black surface finish. For the interior, Lumma has covered it in Alcantara and leather, added an ergonomically shaped sports steering wheel, a new set of aluminum pedals, new foot rests, velour floor and trunk mats with a leather trim, and interior trims in embossed carbon leather.

It's part of the deal that was written for the purchase, but Reuters' look at the different cultures at the two hedge funds unfolds another story.
At Man, Peter Clarke runs the show. He's sharp, pulled together and buttoned up. At GLG, three seemingly more chill co-CEOs are in charge.
The second is Manny Roman, and the third is Noam Gottesman. (Gottesman and Lagrange have been at GLG since the beginning. They met co-founder Jonathan Green, who also founded the fund with them, at Goldman Sachs. Their three initials created the name, GLG.)
In a way, says the Reuters article, the joining of the two firms is an experiment in the war between man and machine.
Man is the machine because their strategies rely heavily on a 'black box' trading system called AHL.
It should be an interesting merger. The photos of the fund managers alone tell a story. Especially this old one of Lagrange.

Two upcoming horror films have scored fairly creepy first trailers this week.
First up, former "Doctor Who" companion Karen Gillan and "Battlestar Galactica" star Katee Sackhoff have teamed for Mike Flanagan's "Oculus". The story follows a brother and sister, now grown up, who believe their parents were killed by a malevolent supernatural force within an antique mirror.
The other is Jennifer Kent's "The Babadook," a Kickstarter-funded indie Australian horror tale about a single mother raising her son following her husband's death. At the same time, a ghoul seems to be haunting their house.

SOHH Whatcha Think: ATL Rapper To Drop Designer Socks?!
Thursday, Jul 5, 2012 10:33AM
The hustle never stops, and although the odds of getting another Outkast album are looking slimmer and slimmer as the years go by, the powerful rap duo continue to push forward in separate endeavors: Andre 3000, the film star and his hip hop cohort Big Boi the HNIS [head n*gga in socks].
[Editor's Note: The views expressed in this column do not necessarily reflect those of SOHH]
That's right. In a recent interview, the Atlanta rapper revealed that he intends to take over the lucrative sock game, with plans to drop his very own line of designer socks.
Outkast rapper Big Boi has launched his own line of socks, on sale exclusively in his hometown of Atlanta, Georgia. The rapper, who is due to release his new solo album later in the year, spoke to GQ about his decision to release his own line of socks, saying: "I'm the sock king! They've got a cape on the back - that's how I flew here."(GigiWise)
If you remember a few years back, he and Dre had a clothing line named Aquemini. While the brand lasted less than a few years, perhaps by zoning in on with particular article of clothing, in this case socks, Big Boi will rise to the top. Hey. Stranger things have happened.
"I got my own socks line coming out with Crooks & Castles. Head over to 677 Antone Street, Atlanta, Georgia, 30318 and get some!" Big Boi's new album, titled Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumours, will be released in November and is the follow up to his 2010 album 'Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty'.(GigiWise)
SOHH Watcha Think: Is this gonna turn out well for Big Boi, or should he give Andre another call and see what's really good on a new Outkast LP?

Jean Ingelow
Jean Ingelow (17 March 1820 – 20 July 1897), was an English poet and novelist.
Early life and education[edit]
Born at Boston, Lincolnshire, she was the daughter of William Ingelow, a banker. As a girl she contributed verses and tales to magazines under the pseudonym of Orris, but her first (anonymous) volume, A Rhyming Chronicle of Incidents and Feelings, which came from an established London publisher, did not appear until her thirtieth year. This was called charming by Tennyson, who declared he should like to know the author; they later became friends.
Professional Life[edit]
Jean Ingelow followed this book of verse in 1851 with a story, Allerton and Dreux, but it was the publication of her Poems in 1863 which suddenly made her a popular writer. They ran rapidly through numerous editions and were set to music, proving very popular for English domestic entertainment. Her work often focused on religious introspection. In the United States, her poems obtained great public acclaim, and the collection was said to have sold 200,000 copies. In 1867 she edited, with Dora Greenwell, The Story of Doom and other Poems, a collection of poetry for children, and then gave up verse for a while and became industrious as a novelist. Off the Skelligs appeared in 1872, Fated to be Free in 1873, Sarah de Berenger in 1880, and John Jerome in 1886. She also wrote Studies for Stories (1864), Stories told to a Child (1865), Mopsa the Fairy (1869), and other stories for children. Ingelow's children's stories were influenced by Lewis Carroll and George MacDonald.[1] Mopsa the Fairy, about a boy who discovers a nest of fairies and discovers a fairyland while riding on the back of an albatross) was one of her most popular works (it was reprinted in 1927 with illustrations by Dorothy Lathrop).[2] Anne Thaxter Eaton, writing in A Critical History of Children's Literature, calls the book "a well-constructed tale", with "charm and a kind of logical make-believe."[2] Her third series of Poems was published in 1885. The last years of her life were spent in Kensington, and she outlived her popularity as a poet. Ingelow died in 1897 and is buried in Brompton Cemetery, London.
Her poems, collected in one volume in 1898, were frequently popular successes. Sailing beyond Seas and When Sparrows build in Supper at the Mill were among the most popular songs of the day. Her best-known poems include The High Tide on the Coast of Lincolnshire and Divided.
There have many parodies of her poetry, particularly of her archaisms, flowery language, and perceived sentimentality. These include Lovers, and a Reflexion) by Charles Stuart Calverley and "Supper at the Kind Brown Mill", a parody of her "Supper at the Mill", within Sorrentino's satirical novel Blue Pastoral (1983).
Others, particularly her contemporaries, have defended her work. Gerald Massey described The High Tide on the Coast of Lincolnshire as ". . . . a poem full of power and tenderness." [3] and Susan Coolidge said of her in verse in a preface to an anthology of Ingelow's poems 'She stood amid the morning due/ And sang her earliest measure sweet/ Sang as the lark sings,speeding fair/ to touch and taste the purer air'.[4]
Still, the larger literary world largely dismissed her work. The Cambridge History of English and American Literature, for example, wrote this of her: "if we had nothing of Jean Ingelow's but the most remarkable poem entitled Divided, it would be permissible to suppose the loss [of her], in fact or in might-have-been, of a poetess of almost the highest rank... Jean Ingelow wrote some other good things, but nothing at all equalling this; while she also wrote too much and too long." Some of this criticism has had overtones of dismissiveness of her as a female writer, where Cambridge continued, for example, to say, " Unless a man is an extraordinary coxcomb, a person of private means, or both, he seldom has the time and opportunity of committing, or the wish to commit, bad or indifferent verse for a long series of years; but it is otherwise with woman."[3]

Cyra Akila Choudhury, associate professor at the Florida International University College of Law, recently presented at a symposium about a book called Presumed Incompetent: The Intersections of Race and Class for Women in Academia. The symposium, sponsored by the the Berkeley Journal of Gender, Law and Justice, was held at the University of California Berkeley School of Law on March 8.
The symposium brought together nationally recognized scholars from the legal academy to discuss the experiences of discrimination faced by women and particularly women of color in the academy.
Professor Choudhury gave a talk entitled "Diversity and Its Discontents" which explored the issue of discrimination and the use of differing standards of evaluation in a diverse context.
"As the academy becomes more diverse and faculty diversity is a matter of pride and widely reported, it is important to think about how issues of discrimination particularly at the intersections of race, orientation, religion and gender play out," said Choudhury.
Her talk also raised the question of whether structural biases and hostility against women of color in the academy would dissipate with the increase in diversity.
Professor Choudhury argued that this "was not necessarily so unless members of the academy of all identity groups were committed to fair treatment of all its members and willing to work on these issues honestly by confronting the ways in which differing standards and use of unpublished criteria are used discreetly against some minorities."

Today's the Day: Blog
Shin Splints
Posted: Wednesday, March 18th, 2009
Angie was at my old stomping ground this morning, and my mom's gym club…The Nepean Corona School of Gymnastics. It was fun to see all the familiar faces up on camera and I even got a shout out from my daughter Andie who was busy playing in the foam pit. I spent my entire childhood in the gym… 5 days a week, 4 hours a practice and I owe a lot of what I am doing in life to the work ethic and training that I experienced as a young girl. Sure I still went out on Friday and Saturday nights, had boyfriends, friends and a good social life, piano lessons, a part time job and the list goes on. I can't imagine what life would have been like if I had been spending my time at the mall after school.
In fact, one of the more serious injuries I suffered as a gymnast was Shin Splints. In fact I had stress fractures in my shins for a few years. It is painful and constant. Connie Beaulieu, the owner of CU Fit Personal Training joined us this morning on the segment to talk about that topic. Right now a lot of people are heading back outside for their runs as the temperatures warm up outside. The surface of running outside is much different than what people have been running on inside on the treadmills. Connie stressed the importance of stretching out the back side of your legs, the calves to alleviate some of the stress and the pain placed on the shins.
Here is what Connie wrote:
Common causes of shin splints include biomechanical foot faults and poor foot wear, but another common cause is tight calf muscles (gastrocnemius and soleus). An easy way to minimize the pain while running is to complete a 3-5 min warm up, pause for a 30 sec stretch and continue with your run. You may also strengthen your shins (anterior tibialis) with simple toe raises at home on a daily basis.
Conini is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the NSCA and Certified Personal Trainer through George Brown College and Can-Fit-Pro. With over a decade of experience, she specializes in dynamic training and education, and trains an impressive roster of dedicated clients in her private studio located in Riverside South.

The Gopher football program's drive for a bowl game took a hit Saturday afternoon at TCF Bank Stadium as they fell to Northwestern 21-13 on homecoming.
The Gophers fumbled the opening kickoff, then allowed Venrick Mark to scamper 26 yards for a touchdown. Not exactly the start the squad was looking for coming off of their loss to Iowa.
Following a Minnesota field goal, the Wildcats marched down field and scored again on a Kain Colter two yard run. The score was set up on a Gopher pass interference penalty on a third down play that would have forced a Northwestern field goal. Instead, they took advantage and punched the ball in taking a 14-3 lead.
MarQueis Gray made his return to the lineup in the first quarter catching a pass from Max Shortell for 16 yards. It was the damage he did with his legs that got the Gophers back into the game. Coming back from an ankle injury that sidelined him for three weeks, Gray orchestrated a beautiful 10 play drive that culminated in a 25 yard touchdown run to cut the Wildcat lead to 14-10.
Following a Gray interception, the Wildcats went back to work and it was Mark again, this time from 48 yard touchdown run to push the lead to 21-10. Mark rushed for 151 yards on 11 carries in the first half.
The defense held the Wildcats in the second half, but the offense couldn't take advantage and failed to move the ball after Gray exited the game with what coach Jerry Kill called a lower ankle injury in the third quarter.
The Gophers drove the field late in the fourth quarter, but on fourth and goal Shortell's pass sailed over the head of freshman wide receiver Andre McDonald.
With the loss, the Gophers fall to 4-2 on the season and 0-2 in Big 10 play. They travel to Madison next Saturday to take on the Badgers.

Real-Life Devotional Bible for Women-NIV by Lysa TerKeurst
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Down to earth, a beautiful cover for both the hardcover and leatherbound, I was really impressed with the "Real Life Devotional" Bible and geared for real life it is; Although I normally prefer the ESV translation, the NIV translation is beautiful written and with annotations along each page of the Bible, containing keywords and notes and devotionals that blended beautiful with the books, they were contained in, this is definitely a great devotional/study Bible for busy women.
There are well known writers that have contributed to the devotionals, but for me, it is the visual appeal of this Bible, that really makes it stand out.
The devotionals are beautiful and relevant, but the visual layout of the Bible makes this both a calming and visually friendly Bible for women and the duo-tone leather bound version, though I didn't get a chance to review that copy, looks to be easy to open and lay flat while in use, which is important for many using a Bible, since one doesn't want to worry about cracking the spine or having to use something to have the Bible lay flat open.
Along with a list of devotions that are scattered within the Bible, the Bible also has the usual topical index to make finding key topics easier and the pages for the hardbound copy, are thick enough for highlighting, although there isn't much space for note taking, if one is prone to do that, so use of post it notes are more in favor.
I don't use regular highlighters since the ones I use are either dry highlighters or colored pencils, so bleed through maybe possible with "wet" highlighters or pens, so care of what is used is recommended there.
The font is approximately 7-8 point so its very easy on the eyes, particularly if bleary eye from just waking up or tired and ready to go to bed, so straining to read the words isn't a problem either with this Bible.
With the devotions, they are like self-contained "Bible study bites" with "more verses to explore" at the lower left hand corner, so this really is a very self contained devotional Bible to either use with a Bible study or stand alone as both a source to read the books of the Bible with a devotional break contained in the Bible.
Personally, this is a beautiful Bible….and a Bible that one would be very reluctant to use a bible cover with, due to the beautiful design of it; Though this isn't a reason to use a Bible, it still doesn't hurt how the aesthetics of the Bible was well thought out.
The hardbound is actually "light to the touch" and easy to drop in one's purse or backpack for travel; The clarity of the devotionals combined with the Scripture, really has brought to busy women, a Bible that…."You spilled coffee on your shirt before walking out the door. Ran late to your appointment….." brings with it, the encouragement, clarity and comfort that our busy world needs.

I've recently had a revelation, what if my almost nine-year-old son made me dinner? Is it possible for me to sit back in my slippers and dressing gown while he cooks up a storm? Maybe not yet but it's a good skill to teach a boy (although he maintains that boys don't cook, they get their wives to do that - where does he get that from?)
Like me, my six-year-old daughter loves baking. She gets the flour everywhere but loves measuring out all the ingredients and watching them cook, oh and then licking the bowl and eating the amazing finished product. So they are both on their way. But teaching them to cook takes time and heaps of patience so it's an effort but it's so worthwhile.
Do your kids know how to cook?
Check out these awesome kid-friendly recipes:
* Choc chip cookies
* Hummus dip and crackers
* Spinach, lemon and ricotta gnocchi
* Honey joys
* Meringues
Our son is only 11 months old, so he hasnt had any kitchen adventures yet, besides raiding the plastics cupboard like a little bull. My almost 4 yr old daughter really likes getting involved, if it involves sweetness, or dough. So, Cakes, bikkies, pizza etc. We make just about everything from scratch so she has plenty of opportunity. She will pull up her plastic covered kitchen chair, stand up at the bench on it and get involved any way she can. It gets EXTREMELY messy, and I have to hold my tongue and keep my calm when she dumps an extra cup of flour in the batter when my back is turned (and scoop it out carefully sigh) but its worth her being interested and hands on in the kitchen.
my mum did not teach me how to cook, and it made life VERY hard when I got married, as my hubby has no idea, he can make toast, thats about it lolll. So I had to teach myself. Now Im quite a good cook, but it would have been alot easier and alot more enjoyable if mum taught me. My sisters who are both about to get married and start families also werent taught to cook and are facing the same difficulties. So I definately will be teaching both my daughter AND my son to cook.
In the home i grew up in, and also my husbands, both our families are under the old fashioned thought that the woman cooks. Unless of course the man and woman both work equal hours in which case they share chores, but then the woman still cooks, and the man does other household things. Dont know why, thats just the way we both saw our parents do it. BUT, we are still teaching our son to cook, because, there are times in life where it would be superly advantageous for him to know how to cook, like when his future wife is sick, or has a new born, or has to go away for a few days or whatever. Besides, he might just really enjoy it and become the next Jamie Oliver, minus the pom accent ;-) wouldnt that be fab? haha
Miss 4 loves to help with baking particularly, but at the moment she loves looking through the cook books and making up the ingredients she thinks would be in a certain recipe.
I have a 5 yo ... who helps with cooking ... stirring pots etc ... but it is FULLY SUPERVISED ... he gets to chop a few things with his special knife .. but not the sharp ones ...
(granted he has Cerebral palsy - so I don't think he will have the motor skills to use the sharp ones for a LONG time .. )
But he LOVES helping out!!
Missy helps but at this stage she is not allowed to touch the stove. We have a 14 month baby - pulling himself up on everything - and he isn't old enough to understand why his sister can touch and not him. She is allowed to get her breakfast and put it into the microwave - but only to warm it to room temperature.

Editor, the Gauntlet,
I am grateful to be graduating this spring so I will not be affected by the tuition increase, however, I do feel a responsibility towards my fellow peers and future graduates to speak up regarding this issue.
The reason I chose the U of C to complete my degree from, was mainly due to the excellent business program the university boasts about, small class sizes, and the excellent professors that are hired to teach. At least this is what I thought.
I must admit that I am extremely disappointed regarding several of the main business classes that I have been required to take, which, in my opinion, have been sub-par. This statement stems from instances where the class sizes have been so large that I have to sit on the floor in order to attend my lecture, or the professor is so disorganized that half of the lecture time is spent watching her attempt to explain a concept, only, because she is not prepared, she has to try repeatedly, the example ripe with revisions and mistakes.
So please explain to me, why, if this is an example of the kind of education I am getting, I should be required to pay potentially 46.5 per cent more per semester of tuition!? I suppose it would be so that when a certain unnamed professor, speaks down to me, a hardworking, honest student, when I do not understand a concept, in such a way that is condescending, insulting, and humiliating, I can be proud that I am paying top notch dollars to be a Haskayne student.
That being said, I want to pay for the education that I am getting . . . raise the bar and be careful about who you hire. Only then will I be amicable to paying a potential 46.5 per cent higher tuition that I currently am.
U of C instructors are not required to have teaching skills to teach at this institution. Even though your tuition goes in part to the Teaching and Learning Commons toward instructor preparation, instructors who need the program are not required to take it unless they score in the bottom 10 percentile in the teaching evaluations. Instructors are only rewarded if they score in the top 10 percentile. Instructors are thus encouraged to shoot for the 11th percentile.
I encourage you to have words with TUCFA and the GSA, the unions representing for-credit instructors, if you want changes to instructional quality.

© Copyright 2014 Clayton News Daily
By Zack firstname.lastname@example.com When people think of Kuwait it is likely that Operation: Desert Storm and oil are quick to come to mind. For former Morrow High School standout Jermaine Barnes, Kuwait elicits thoughts of basketball and opportunity. After spending time playing professional basketball in Japan, while also spending time playing American leagues such as the ABA, URBL and the EBA, Barnes signed a contract Monday to play ball in Kuwait for a team known as Al Sahel. According to Barnes, playing in Kuwait will be a potentially lucrative opportunity as well as the latest achievement in an already unconventional career. "I'm going to the Middle East to get some of that oil money," Barnes joked. "All of the ex-NBA players go to the Middle East because they have the money. Their money doesn't run out." Barnes is, perhaps, most excited about the prospect to play at a higher level of competition. While he has had a history of domination on the court, it was always in lesser leagues. "I'm definitely excited to play in a top league, finally," he said. "I'm really looking forward to that challenge." Not every player can get the chance to play in the Middle East. Barnes' ticket ran through the United Region Basketball League. The URBL is a basketball minor league based out of Texas. As a member of the Ft. Worth Disciples, Barnes set a league record earlier this year, scoring 50 points in a single game. Barnes was also awarded Most Valuable Player status en-route to a league championship for his team. "After I won MVP, I started getting calls from everybody," he said. "I was just a hot commodity." Barnes recently scored his first endorsement deal, when Jerome Dodd, the man who originally helped get Barnes an opportunity to play in Japan, signed him onto his own line of shoes and jerseys in the Japan-based company Hang Time Sports. When he plays his first game with Al Sahel, he'll be able to play alongside Disciple teammate and former Clayton State University player Jerome Boyd. "He was my big man and I wanted to play with him," said Barnes. "I had the pull to make demands like that and they took it." Although now a "hot commodity," success has not always been easy for the Morrow native. After a stellar career playing for the Morrow Mustangs, Barnes was preparing to begin his college hoops career. In his senior year, Barnes averaged 18.2 points and 13.3 rebounds per game. The University of Tennessee was heavily courting him and he seemed pretty set on moving north. The only problem was his grades. He had the skills to play Division I, but he had lacked the scholastic discipline to get into the school. Barnes had to settle for junior college. He played for two years at Abraham Baldwin Community College before moving on to Georgia Southwestern University, a Division II school, in the Peach Belt Conference. Adversity struck again for Barnes when a season-ending injury stranded him on the bench and ultimately led to him being cut from the team. He completed his college career at Atlanta Christian College where he averaged 26.7 points and 11.2 rebounds per game. Following college, Barnes took any opportunity to play he could find. He played four games for the NBA summer league as well as 10 games for the ABA's Georgia Grizzlies. In December 2006, Barnes received the opportunity to play for the Proline Kings in Japan. In his first season he averaged 42.8 points and 10.3 rebounds per game. "I was playing in a small division, but I dominated the league," said Barnes. The following year, he improved to 48.2 points and 12.3 rebounds per game. Last year, Barnes thought he had earned a ticket back to the United States to play for the Arizona Rhinos in the ABA. He left the team after three games amid growing conflict between owner Kisha Spellman-White and head coach Orlando Woolridge that would ultimately result in Woolridge's dismissal. Barnes will board a plane for Kuwait July 20th, so he can prepare for the new season, which begins at the end of August. "They're bringing me out early to acclimate me to the system," he said. "I'm very big on being prepared."

News: Birdman Reveals Cash Money/Young Money Tour Date
Thursday, Dec 3, 2009 4:00PM
Cash Money Records co-founder Baby has confirmed recent reports of a joint tour with his record label and Lil Wayne's Young Money camp will begin later this month.
In addition to the tour, Birdman also updated fans on the status of Young Money's Drake and Nicki Minaj.
"Drake is in the studio," Baby said in an interview with DJ Semtex. "We got a tour starting, a Cash Money/Young Money tour starting December 17th and that's with everybody. Kevin Rudolf, Jay Sean, myself, the whole Young Money camp, just the whole squad and Nicki has a new album coming out at the top of the year and Drake's new singles and new album coming out the first quarter. I'm excited about that. And we got Bow Wow coming out, Kevin Rudolf and everything that we doing right now." (DJ Semtex TV)
Young Money's Gudda Gudda previously hinted at a tour taking place this month.
"Definitely got a tour starting, supposed to be anywhere in between the 10th and the 14th of next month," he explained in an interview. "Its a Young Money/Cash Money tour. I ain't even catch the dates on it yet, I just know we goin' out on tour, when the albums drop. I'm pretty sure it's gonna be either as big or bigger [than last summer's tour.] We don't take two steps back, you know every time we do something we try to keep moving forward, more progress every time we do something. So, definitely might be either bigger, if not on the same level as one of the others. But its definitely gonna be a big tour." (New Lil Wayne)
Initially slated for December 15th, Baby recently said the Rebirth and We Are Young Money albums have been pushed back.
"*ATTN RT TO ALL LILWAYNE 'REBIRTH' AND THE YM ALLSTARS ALBUM HAS BEEN PUSHED BACK TO DEC 22..CMB/YM," Baby wrote via Twitter on Thursday (November 19). "RT @ceelowthegr8t: attn rt this lil wayne 'rebirth' and the young money allstars has been pushed back to Dec 22... 'PRICELESS' NOV 23 'ALL OR NOTHING' @JAYSEAN....COP DAT YM/CMB." (Baby's Twitter)
Wayne's tour profits for 2008 to 2009 placed him ahead of both Jay-Z and Kanye West.
Seventy-eight Lil Wayne headlining arena and amphitheater concerts in North America from Dec. 14, 2008, through Sept. 6, 2009, grossed approximately $42 million and drew nearly 804,000 fans, according to Lil Wayne tour producer and tour business manager Shawn Gee. The second highest-grossing rap tour that Billboard has tracked was Jay-Z's 2008 jaunt with Mary J. Blige, which grossed $34.6 million and drew 310,694 concertgoers to 28 shows, according to Billboard Boxscore. Kanye West's 2008 Glow In the Dark tour comes in third, having pulled in $30.8 million from 49 concerts that attracted 507,853 fans. (Billboard)

Preparing to Study Abroad: The Logistics of Packing, Researching, and Planning
Brian Freedman
The hardest part of the study abroad experience -- more difficult than any potential culture-shock, more taxing than any amount of time you'll spend away from that new girlfriend or boyfriend you've recently fallen so deeply in love with -- is preparing for it. This may seem like a bit of an overstatement, but the reality is that the physical prep work can be as confusing and as overwhelming as any other part of the experience. Once you're there, of course, you'll have the time of your life. But in order to make the most of your semester or year abroad, you'll need to spend the weeks leading up to departure day making a concerted effort to pack wisely, research well, and plan ahead. Do these three things, however, and you'll be able to focus on what really matters once you're there: making the most out of your experience.
Pack Wisely
Remember those slumber parties everyone had as a little kid, the ones for which your mother packed a way-too-big duffel bag with every item of clothing you owned in order to ensure that you'd be comfortable regardless of weather conditions or the efficacy of the heating and air conditioning in the house you'd be sleeping in?
That was nothing compared to this kind of packing.
You'll want to start by researching what kind of weather to expect. Most programs, of course, will include this information in one of the many envelopes or packages you should expect to receive prior to your departure. But it never hurts to investigate it yourself. What has the weather recently been like at your destination? Are there long-range forecasts you can find on the Internet? Educate yourself as much as possible before you leave, and pack appropriate clothing. If you'll be in Paris in February of March, it's probably a good idea to buy a top-notch raincoat while you're still at home. If you're leaving for an environmental-studies program in Ecuador in August, a few pairs of shorts are appropriate. But don't limit your selection of clothing to just what will
be useful: Weather forecasting is an inexact science, and monthly and seasonal temperature and precipitation averages are based on data from a number of years. That means that the weather gods will not always be benevolent and do what they're supposed to. Sometimes it snows in Jerusalem. Once in a while, Geneva hits 70 degrees in March. Make sure you pack a few contingency items, as well. You never know, after all, what each day will bring.
You should also consider the local clothing customs. Remember, not all countries view personal expression the way we do here in the United States, and the way college students dress for classes on your home campus will likely be very different from how they will at your school abroad. It is a safe bet that local clothing customs in your destination will be a bit more conservative, or a least a bit more dressy, than what you're used to. America, after all, is a rather casual place. In New York in August, for example, you'll likely see all kinds of clothing, from snappy linen suits to tank tops that barely cover up what one would assume they're supposed to. But in Rome or Cairo, lightweight long pants and a flattering hot-weather top are much more appropriate. And no matter how cold or miserable the weather is, a pair of sweatpants and a hoodie are never appropriate for a Parisian café or a Viennese coffeehouse.
Research Well
No matter how much you have traveled in the past, no matter how many countries you've visited, living in a foreign land for an extended period of time is totally different. A vacation is about seeing the sights and eating a few good meals. Studying abroad is about integrating yourself into the culture and adopting the ways of the locals -- at least to some extent -- over the course of your time there. A little research will go a long way toward making your transition as painless as possible.
The world is a beautiful and varied place, and the range of customs is seemingly infinite. The more you do to prepare yourself for the new and the different, the easier it will be for you to accept and perhaps even adopt these new ways of doing things.
In Arab countries, it is rude for men to cross their legs in a way that shows the bottom of their shoes; this is considered insulting to the person at whom your feet are pointing. In part of Greece and Italy, the thumbs-up -- what we take to mean "Great! Awesome!" -- is actually the equivalent of giving someone the middle finger. The list goes on and on. Familiarize yourself with the local customs before you leave home; the last thing you want to do is respond to a Roman waiter's inquiry about the quality of your
spaghetti aglio e olio
with a big ol' thumbs-up. You may never get dessert.
The old line about knowledge being the key to success is even more relevant when applied to a student who is preparing to study abroad. If you arm yourself with a solid understanding of the customs and general modes of interaction in your destination country, you will have done all you can to ensure a fun, educational, and rewarding experience abroad.
Plan Ahead
Living in a foreign country is vastly different from visiting it as a tourist. You'll likely have to set up a foreign bank account, arrange for cellphone service, and, depending on the program you've chosen, find an apartment. Fortunately, the Internet has made it possible to do most of these things from the comfort of home. You should also arrive in your destination country with enough of the foreign currency to get you by for the first day, which will entail a whirlwind of activity that may very well prevent you from hitting an ATM right away. It's also a good idea to have a phone card with you. This way, even if you have problems with your email or cellphone when you first arrive, you'll still be able to contact people.
Then there is the issue of language. It's always a good idea to take a semester or three of coursework in the language of your destination country. But if your decision to study abroad was made too late for that, there are programs you can buy that will help. These range from simple and inexpensive phrasebooks and audio CD's to computer programs that fully immerse you in the language of the place and that cost hundreds of dollars. Even though you will adapt to the foreign language once you have lived and interacted with speakers of it for four to six weeks, this process will be that much easier if you learn as much as you can before you go.
Finally, never underestimate the importance of peanut butter. In other words, always pack some sort of taste of home that will last the entire length of your time abroad. You may love Italian or Mexican or German food, but the time will come, once the initial newness of everything fades a bit, that you will crave a bite or two of some American standby that you just cannot get overseas. A jar of peanut butter or a tube of Pringles will provide a much needed sense of culinary familiarity when you need it. They take up very little room in a suitcase but provide a huge psychological boost in those moments of (hopefully fleeting) homesickness.
The bottom line is this: Your preparations for a semester or a year abroad will range from exciting to stressful to joyous to nerve-wracking. The months and weeks leading up to your departure will be some of the most exciting and frightening you've ever had. It is important to enjoy even that part of the process, and to make the most of it. If you can pack wisely, research well, and plan ahead, then your time abroad will be as amazing and as rewarding as you've always dreamed it would be.

DPS has alerted us that Highway 271 is now re-open to traffic. The skid has been removed from the roadway.
Northbound traffic on Highway 271 in Smith County was shut down, due to an accident involving an 18-wheeler.
According to a DPS trooper on the scene, an 18-wheeler carrying a large metal beam, called a skid, was headed northbound on Highway 271, when he struck the Interstate 20 overpass.
The skid fell off of the trailer and into the roadway. It's currently blocking all northbound lanes at the intersection of Hwy 271 and I-20.
Authorities expect the scene to be cleared by 3:30.
The trooper on the scene says the driver was supposed to take a route around the bridge, by entering and exiting I-20.
The skid was manufactured by Tyler Steel, and is for use in the oil field. .
TxDOT has assessed the damage to the overpass, and has declared it safe for travel.
We have a crew en route and will post more info as soon as it's available.

Queer Film of the Year
Both "Any Day Now," about a gay couple adopting a teen with Down syndrome, and "Keep the Lights On," about two codependent lovers, one of whom spirals into addiction, told gritty gay stories with tremendous grace. Gay youth was represented by the sexually active high-school teens in "Perks of Being a Wallflower," starring out actor Ezra Miller, while the post-college crew in Patrik-Ian Polk's "The Skinny" educated audiences about African-American history and how to properly prepare for anal sex. But perhaps the Queer Film of the Year is the ambitious "Cloud Atlas." The film featured some gay characters, various cross-dressing and gender-bending, and one of the three directors of this big-budget spectacle is transgender Lana Wachowski.
Doc of the Year
"United in Anger" chronicled the work of ACT UP, but it was not nearly as strong or powerful as one of the year's best films, the remarkable "How to Survive a Plague," which deftly illustrated how ACT UP mobilized itself and made critical changes in the care of HIV-positive individuals. And a dishonorable mention to "Bully," a nonfiction film that missed an important opportunity to address this nationwide problem, focusing only briefly on one lesbian student who was abused by her peers.
Gay-for-Pay Performance
Many straight actors played gay and this year was a bumper crop of great performances. Javier Bardem was sexy and sinister as the villain in "Skyfall" and Haley Joel Osment displayed his comic talents in hot pants in "Sassy Pants." Even Matthew McConaughey had a memorable gay supporting role — and not just because he appeared naked and hogtied — in "The Paperboy." Danish actor Thure Lindhardt was superb in Ira Sachs' elegiac "Keep the Lights On." But the best performance by a straight actor in a gay role this year was Jack Black's Oscar-worthy turn as the title character in the killer film "Bernie."
Queer Twists
There were all kinds of queer encounters on cinema screens this year. "The Ballad of Genesis and Lady Jaye" vividly documented the gender-bending musicians. "Farewell, My Queen" re-imagined Marie Antoinette in Sapphic splendor and "Unforgivable" followed four lovers/friends who tested their sexual permutations. But perhaps the oddest film of 2012 was the one first made in 1971. Ted Kotcheff's "Wake in Fright," featuring out actor Gary Bond getting into trouble in the outback, was the wildest, weirdest and most wonderful queer thriller of 2012.
Gay Director of the Year
Gay filmmakers produced a handful of good films that did not necessarily feature queer characters. Terence Davies' "The Deep Blue Sea" was a beautifully made drama about heartbreak, while Todd Graff's "Joyful Noise" was a tuneful celebration featuring queer icons Queen Latifah and Dolly Parton. There was also some fun to be had in the smutty comedy "For a Good Time, Call ... " which had Justin Long playing the gay BFF who hooks up the two female phone-sex workers. But the naughty "Hysteria," directed by out filmmaker Tanya Wexler and starring openly gay Rupert Everett, was a stimulating sex comedy about vibrators — from a story by the Daily News' Howard Gensler — set in the Victorian era.
Worst Queer Film of the Year
There were a handful of truly offensive films in 2012. The gay character in "Beloved" leads a woman on, and even has sex with her, after confessing he is HIV-positive. In "Little White Lies," a man confesses his attraction to his longtime friend, only to face repeated episodes of homophobia from him. Lesbians were cast in a bad light in "Your Sister's Sister," where a woman fresh out of a seven-year same-sex relationship poked holes in a condom to get pregnant by her sister's best friend, whom she sleeps with one night. But the truly worst queer film this year was "Jack and Diane," an unwatchable romantic drama that featured strange monsters, stranger characters and other horrors too numerous to mention. Avoid at all costs.
Philly Missed
Several films about characters exploring their sexual identities missed Philadelphia, but viewers should seek out these titles on DVD or VOD. Two of the best are the subtle coming-of-age dramas "Mosquita y Mari," about two Latina-high schoolers, and the smart adaptation of Peter Cameron's novel "Someday This Pain Will Be Useful to You." "Sexual Chronicles of a French Family" chronicles, well, the erotic experiences of members of a French family, including a son's threesomes. And while James Franco's Hart Crane film, "Broken Tower," failed under the weight of its pretensions, arguably the best queer film that missed Philly was "Klown," a Danish comedy about two men and a preteen boy on a sex vacation. The film's scandalous penis jokes alone are unspeakably funny. So, too, is the film.
The (Rear) End
Ending the year in queer on perhaps a prurient note, the beaucoup nudity, particularly by the hot hunky cop (Guillaume Gioux), in "Nobody Else But You" certainly added some extra thrills to this amazing French thriller, arguably the best and most fun mystery this year. There were also some noticeable scenes fetishizing skivvies-clad Zac Efron dancing in the rain in "The Paperboy." But perhaps the most delicious, most decadent moments on screens had the buff cast of "Magic Mike" dancing in the buff. Actor Matt Bomer came out this year, and, boy, did he ever fill out his g-string. Give Bomer this year's best butt award.

strikeforce made a big mistake not extending his contract before he fought sheilds. people don't like dana trash talking strikeforce but its things like this that give him the ammunition.
they obviously banked on hendo winning . you can't run a promotion and plan for the future predicting the fights you put on. but they'll learn from this.
that being said i hope he stays at strikeforce. mma needs an alternative to the ufc and i'm if he does the ratings for his next fight will be better
Reply 4 years agoSharp3Weak | 1Funny | 0Cool | 0
It wasnt strikeforces choice, shields made it clear he wanted to take the risk and stay a free agent til after the hendo fight so his stock would skyrocket..that being said id imagine strikeforce was happy with that choice thinking theyd get him for cheaper

You can learn alot from listening closely. Shields said, "I give him ideas of who I want and where I want to GO." Now consciously he did not intend to express favoritism in either direction, however if he wanted to stay in SF his wording may have been something like, "I give him ideas of who i want and where I want to BE." Small choices in wording can often give insight into people's thoughts or feelings. If he were neutral or not leaning away from SF, I dont feel GO would have been his choice in wording. Just my opinion tho, take it for what you want.
Reply 4 years agoSharp8Weak | 2Funny | 0Cool | 0
That is the smartest thing you have posted. Of course you have to take into consideration that aspects of human behavior and thought can be random and inexplicable but in general what you just wrote is an excellent rule of thumb.
Reply 4 years agoSharp1Funny | 0Weak | 0Cool | 0
Thats a very good point, well spotted and your absolutely right, it's quite amazing what you can pick up from the unconcious mind, Imo Shields is definately going to the UFC, especially after the way Scott Coker sh*t on him and backed Hendo to beat him knowing that Shields had only one fight left on his SF contract. He's also cleaned SF out pretty much and Shields IS a guy who wants to test himself against the best so there is only one place for him imo, i expect he will drop back down to 170lbs too, where he should be imo.......

Cant say that I am surprised, but I dont know what you are talking about..... I never said u needed to learn anything. I said that if it is your opinion that all the UFC champs are over-rated, then why dont you share who you believe the legitimate champions are?
Reply 4 years agoSharp2Weak | 1Funny | 0Cool | 0
i think shields style gives him a better chance than say a hardy or other striker..but if I had to bet and could only pick one fighter that had the best chance to beat gsp Id say Diaz. Not saying he would just think he has the best shot,,,,however I do believe koscheck is going to be the biggest challenge gsp has had in awhile...definitely glad it wasnt daley or we would just be watching Gsp vs hardy2
Reply 4 years agoSharp2Weak | 2Funny | 0Cool | 0
Shields is a smart dude "Before ongoing negotiations" just like came to job for interview "never bad mouth about your boss and previous company ". I personally think Shields going to leave and why after signed with Hendo and expected him become a champ with the contract SF can't let him go ! why SF wonna keeps both of them in the same division and pay a lot of moneys for that .imo
Reply 4 years agoSharp1Cool | 1Funny | 0Weak | 0
Shields wont stay with SF surely, especially after the way Coker backed Hendo to beat him and become their new champ knowing that Shields only had one more fight on his contract. Not only that, he's pretty much cleaned SF out of any worthy challengers, if he wants to continue to truly test himself against the best in the world there is only one place for him to go really. Come on Shields, time to take that final step up and find out just how good you really are. I think he really does want to fight the "best" so it's just a matter of time imo. If/when he does join the ranks of the UFC, i'm presuming he will drop back down to his natural weigh class, he would be mad to stay at 185lbs in the UFC, if he has a good run at 170lbs then who knows, the option is there to move up in future. He won't stay wth SF and if he does he's crazy.......

i think shields should go to the ufc, he is a really good fighter and i would like to see what he can do against the best
Reply 4 years agoSharp2Weak | 2Funny | 0Cool | 0
I actually think its starting to seem unlikely that Shields will go to the UFC as Dana doesn't seem to be willing to give him a titleshot anytime soon and Shields would be a fool to go to the UFC for anything less then a titleshot.
GSP will be coaching the next TUF and then he fights Kosh so it would seem likely that that means Shields would have about a year lay off if he goes with UFC. It's also likely that he would have to take a pay cut if he went to the UFC:
Reply 4 years agoWeak1Funny | 0Sharp | 0Cool | 0
Dana has already stated how he is working the strategy.
He wants Jake in the UFC but he isn't sure how high Strikeforce is willing to go to keep Shields. It's a win win for Dana because if they overbid him to they will be one step closer to bankruptcy and if they wont go as high, he get's one of the top guys in the division, leaving SF with one less talent.
On another note, Shields was cage-side with Dana at the WEC Aldo vs Faber fight. Apparently, as reported, Dana is on video mouthing the words " he's mine" while the camera showed them sitting together.
It would be great to have Shields and Diaz in the UFC. Hell, throw Gilbert in the mix as well. The kid is one of the best in his division. Gracie's camp is deep.
Reply 4 years agoCoolWeakSharpFunny
Is it just me, or does Jake Shields need to slow down a little bit when he talks? Half of the things that he says is pretty much just him rambling on. He needs to lay off the coke.
To say that GSP is the only guy for Shields to fight in the UFC is pure ignorance. Shields would be lucky to beat anyone in the top 5 of the WW division imo. I don't think he could beat GSP, Alves, Fitch, Koscheck, and maybe even Swick. I was going to say Hardy, but he would just throw his b*tch *ss to the ground and beat him to death there. I'm not saying I wouldn't like to see those fights, but I just don't believe he could win any of them if all of those fighters where on top of their game.
Best scenario for Shields is to go to the UFC. GSP and Kos fight in December, so u take Shields and let him face the winner of Fitch and Alves(if they ever did reschedule that fight) and the winner of that one fights the winner of GSP/Kos in April or May '11 for the title. Just because Shields is champ in a weak *ss division in SF doesn't mean he should get a title shot right off. They should make him test the waters first. Hell, it would be a good idea to let Shields and the winner of Fitch/Alves fight in December to co-main even the GSP/Kos card. That way the whole top of the WW division could be decided on the same night. If Dana looks at Shields and tells him if he wins 1 fight he gets a title shot, I don't think Shields could turn it down.
Reply 4 years agoWeak1Funny | 0Sharp | 0Cool | 0
if shields goes to ufc he will get destroyed. hes garbage fitch,alves,kos, and gsp can all beat him. shields is the master of the lay n gay technique.

hi everyone,
anyone knows how to set all the exposures modes on the emulator S60 3rd , like for example night, sports, etc ....
thanks, Paulo Pereira
Are you trying to control the exposure modes from your MIDlet? Unfortunately that is not possible.
look here:
(the last sample)
and here:
public java.lang.String[] getSupportedExposureModes()
Returns a list of exposure modes supported by the camera device. Available exposure modes might include:
* auto (full automatic exposure setting)
* landscape (daylight landscape)
* snow (high light situation)
* beach (high light situation)
* sunset
* night
* fireworks
* portrait (human face in the center is the target)
* backlight (target in center is essentially darker than the background)
* spotlight (target in center is essentially brighter than the background)
* sports (fast moving targets)
* text (for copying texts and drawings, and for bar code reading)
supported exposure modes
See Also:
so where can i use this exposure modes if is not possible in midp?
Regards, Paulo Pereira
This is probably a little confusing, but you are pointing to AMMS (JSR-234) documentation. Even though parts of this API has been implemented on S60 3rd Edition FP1 devices (this is the first S60 platform to support it) not all of the packages of this API are supported. There are implementation notes available in the Java ME developer's library, which mention that only Music and 3D Aucio classes have been implemented
Hope this clarifies the situation

Miguel Olivo has grade 1 groin strain
Miguel Olivo has just a grade 1 strain of groin, the least severe. Could return in 2 or 3 weeks.— Geoff Baker (@gbakermariners) May 4, 2012
This works like the opposite of the DEFCON scale, which works like the opposite of what you think it does. A grade 1 groin strain is the least serious groin strain, and Olivo could be back in action in just a few weeks. For those of you who don't find this to be good news, focus on the fact that Chone Figgins just got demoted. Chone Figgins just got demoted! Don't live in the now. Live in the recent past, when you learned that Chone Figgins was getting demoted.

Will I have to pay a security deposit?
A Bond/Security Deposit may be required by the Property Manager the amount will vary depending on the property manager. If so, this payment will take place outside of the Rentahome EasyPay System and you may be asked to direct transfer funds into the Property Manager's bank account or a credit card imprint may be requested. Rentahome does not become involved in the payment or return of bonds or security deposits. Return of these amounts is based on the Property Manager's terms and conditions and their inspection of the property after your stay.
The Security Deposit (Bond) is required to cover any damage or incidential costs incurred during your stay at the property. If there is no Damage or Additional Costs then the Security Deposit will be refunded. If the amount of the Damage or Additional Costs are greater than the Security Deposit, then the Guest will be required to pay the difference.
On Arrival, please report any damage or requirement maintenance immediately to the property manager, as you will be liable for any Damage on your departure.
A Bond applies for properties under a Lease agreement. The Bond is typically lodged with a government Bond Authority and returned at the the end of the stay following an Exit Inspection and review of the Condition Report.
