Pacer Nation is being held hostage as we all wait to see of Roy Hibbert stays or goes off to Portland. The local media is having a great time debating this matter and from where I sit the Pacers are screwed either way.
I don't care what the local media says about what Pacer insiders are telling them. They don't really know. I am a baseball fan and two weeks ago on Chicago sports talk radio I heard that the White Sox would be sellers at the trade deadline. Within three days of that discussion the White Sox had traded for three time All Star Kevin Youkilis. One only has to look back a few months ago at how both Irsay and Manning used the media as a tool to know that the media is often told what the insider wants them to print.
Mike Wells point of view is do not sign him. No Roy is probably not worth $14 Million in terms of production and constancy. It does put a strain on the salary cap and what else the team can do. It is also silly of Portland to make the offer because Roy isn't going to put the Blazers in the play-offs by himself nor will they be anywhere near close to playing with the Lakers or OKC for the Western Conference title with or without him. They have too many holes.
Locally many have gotten on the let Roy go and sign Chris Kaman and OJ Mayo band wagon. Well first of all while Kaman can replicate Hibbert's numbers but he can't replace Roy's physical play or presence inside. Roy is the focal point of Frank Vogel's "smash mouth basketball"
Second point, why would you assume you could possibly sign both Kaman and Mayo for this $14 savings on Roy? Last year Kaman made $14 million and the year before he made $11 million. If and when Roy is taken off the board then Kaman's value goes up and he isn't coming here to play for say $7 million just because we are a nice city and so OJ can have the other $7 mil. Even if they got Mayo and Kaman they would still be missing a shot blocker like Roy.
Dallas has lost out on every free agent they targeted so far this summer and now they are looking at Kaman and Mayo too. Since Kaman's grandparents are German natives, he plays for the German national team and is a good friend to DIRK! So you smartly let Roy go and then get outbid by Cuban for both Kaman and Mayo and then you have to completely retool the team.
No, sorry to the let Roy go crowd but the safest thing to do is to match the offer and then try to secure Courtney Lee. Lee doesn't quite give you quite what Mayo can but he is likely to come cheaper, has much less baggage and is another local kid. Then see if you can get Elton Brand to jump at their $5 million exception they currently have and then you might have something.
In any case I wish them well and do not envy the position they are in because they are damned if they do and damned if they don't. Portland's max offer is just another example of how owners need to be protected from their own stupidity.

SO I answered his hypothetical little hissy fit column.
Bills have few answers to questions
Jerry Sullivan
Buffalo News
Some days, it seems, all you're left with are questions:
Was it any surprise that in the moment of truth, Dick Jauron couldn't get the challenge flag out in time? Jerry, with you on this one -Maybe he should leave his hackey sack and other toys in another pocket!
When are the Bills going to draft and develop a true stud lineman in the first round of the draft? Jerry, it pains me to say this but be specific - Offense or Defense. Our last 2 on either side - Mike Williams or John McCargo were misses.
After the last three games, do you wonder if Trent Edwards is suffering aftereffects from the concussion? Jerry, frankly no - but he at least has to be thinking about when the next one is going to happen!
Are you starting to have a few reservations about that great 2006 draft? Jerry, it would help if the two key starters from that year, Whitner and Butler, actually played in the game this week.
How come the Steelers, no matter the players or the head coach, are always a tougher team than the Bills? Jerry - this one's easy - their uniforms are black - ours are just dark blue!
Are you telling me Angelo Crowell couldn't help this thin linebacking corps right about now? Jerry - too easy - no because he's limping pretty badly after his surgery!
Didn't Jauron sound a little tongue-tied when he was asked why he wasted the timeout at the end of the first half? Jerry - not really, unlike you Coach Jauron thinks before he speaks - that what's Yalies do!
Hasn't Kyle Williams seemed a tad average the last few weeks? Jerry - That's what happens when you face Probowlers 2 weeks in a row!
Aren't you tired of hearing Jauron repeat himself in news conferences, repeat himself in news conferences? Jerry - then stop asking the same questions!
Are you losing a little enthusiasm for the big rematch against the Dolphins up in Toronto on Pearl Harbor Day? Jerry - Does Toronto even celebrate Pearl Harbor Day? Tell them canucks to put on their Toucs and open the roof!
Do you notice a certain lack of passion and competitive fire in them lately? When was the last really big hit? Jerry - Confused - are we talking about the women in your life or football now? I think that song with the line "Shake it like a Polaroid Picture" was the last really big hit!
Don't you wish it was the Bills who realized Wes Welker could be a dynamite No. 2 wide receiver? Jerry - They did, after they saw him line up for the Pats. Besides, Josh Reed's a better blocker! And TD's are overrated!
Why do you use the 12th overall pick on a running back if you're going to give him 15-16 carries a game? Jerry - aw c'mon - because we had to pick someone and his nickname rules - Beast Mode!<!
Can the Bills afford to keep Jabari Greer in town when he becomes a free agent after the season? Jerry - depends if we can get a preferred rate at an Extended Stay or something like that.
Don't you appreciate Aaron Schobel a little more when he's not on the field? Jerry - confused again - Call me fickle but No I actually appreciate him more when he plays, makes tackles, gets sacks and forces turnovers.
What does it say when Robert Royal becomes one of the go-to guys in your passing offense? That we actually run plays to the TEs now
Did Tim Connolly get hurt again yet? Oops, sorry, wrong sport. Yes he did!
What, you're telling me Reggie Corner is ahead of Leodis McKelvin on the depth chart at cornerback? Jerry be nice its Only in the nickel slot
Which game films did the scouts watch that convinced them Derrick Dockery was worth $49 million? The ones where he was playing next to Mike Williams at Texas - Hook em Horns!
Will Bill Belichick stick around long enough to break Don Shula's record of 20 straight wins over the Bills? Jerry - No because that MRSA infection he got while coaching in Cleveland should take his life prematurely
Does it appear that opposing teams have caught on to the fact that the linebackers are a bit slow in coverage? Jerry - some of us have seen you play hoops, which gave us the true definition of slow, white guy. Brandon Spoon was slow in pass coverage
Did you turn off the TV during the Pats' 19-play drive? Were you tempted to put your foot through the set? Jerry - obvious you are a transplant - us lifelong fans try to compare that agony to worse things in our Bills viewing history - like Joe Dufek at QB
Did anyone else have chilling flashbacks to the Bledsoe era Sunday? No because Turk had enough sense to not call a QB draw
What's the over-under on the number of games it takes Marshawn Lynch to rush for 100 yards again? Jerry - I'll go with 1. Mon Night is Prime Time for Beast Mode
The way things are going, will the Chiefs actually be favored when the Bills show up in K. C. in two weeks? Not unless they have Len Dawson and Otis Taylor in their prime suiting up.
Are the Bills maybe waiting for Jauron to win another game before announcing that contract extension? Yes, and I hope its a playoff game
If the Bills did promise to talk contract with Jason Peters during the season, what do they say now? Jason, with the recent downturn in the economy and your recent play, we are asking everyone to take a 15% pay cut, retroactive to Game 1 this season.
Do you think J. P. Losman was laughing inside, just a little bit, after Edwards' performance in Foxborough? Jerry, this of course presumes JP has the ability to think in 2 dimensions. Careful now
What do you suppose Donte Whitner feels worse about right now, the shoulder or the guarantee? I gotta go with the shoulder - they hurt like an SOB
Is Lee Evans ever going to have a 100-yard receiving day against the Pats? Did you know he hasn't had more than 40 yards against them in a game since 2005? Yes when his new contract expires and he signs with another team
Can you believe Roscoe Parrish has had 60 yards receiving in a game just once in his career? OMG - was it against the JETS or the PATS
How did the Bills manage to make Matt Cassel look like Doug Flutie on those scrambles up the middle Sunday? They closed their dominant eyes and squinted which makes everything look really small and wiggly
How good is Paul Posluszny, really? Fair to middlin right now
When will I learn not to overreact when the Bills get off to a hot start? Jerry, admit it, you never get on any Buffalo team bandwagon so how can you get off one now?

To donate to the American Red Cross and help with disaster relief in Moore, Oklahoma CLICK HERE, or text REDCROSS to
90999 to donate $10.
MOORE, Okla. (AP) -- The state medical examiner's office has revised the death toll from a tornado in an Oklahoma City suburb to 24 people, including seven children.
Spokeswoman Amy Elliot said Tuesday morning that she believes some victims were counted twice in the early chaos of the storm. Authorities said initially that as many as 51 people were dead, including 20 children. It was also reported that were at least 40 bodies left to count.
Teams are continuing to search the rubble in Moore, 10 miles south of Oklahoma City, after the Monday afternoon tornado.
CNN - Even for a city toughened by disaster, Moore has never seen this kind of devastation.
A massive, howling tornado pulverized a vast swath of the Oklahoma City suburb Monday, chewing up homes and businesses, and severely damaging a hospital and two elementary schools.
Hundreds of people were injured.
Firefighters, police, National Guard members and volunteers worked by flashlight overnight and into Tuesday morning, crawling across piles of debris in a determined search for survivors and victims. Air National Guard members brought in thermal imaging equipment to aid in the search.
More than 100 people had been pulled from the rubble alive since Monday afternoon, the state Highway Patrol said.
Early Tuesday, authorities asked news crews to move satellite trucks from the scene because the idling engines were making it difficult for rescuers to listen for the faint sounds of survivors beneath the rubble.
"We're a tough state. This is a tough community," Lt. Gov. Todd Lamb told CNN on Tuesday. "There is hope. We always have hope. We always have faith."
At least 20 of those killed were children, including seven from Plaza Towers Elementary School in Moore, the site of a frantic search since Monday afternoon.
The school was in the direct path of the storm. About 75 students and staff members were hunkered down in Plaza Towers when the tornado struck, CNN affiliate KFOR reported.
At one point, an estimated 24 children were missing from the school, but some later turned up at nearby churches. Moore Mayor Glenn Lewis told CNN on Tuesday morning that he had been told four people remained unaccounted for.
On Monday, a father of a third-grader still missing sat quietly on a stool outside. Tears cascaded from his face as he waited for any news.
Even parents of survivors couldn't wrap their minds around the tragedy.
"I'm speechless. How did this happen? Why did this happen?" Norma Bautista asked. "How do we explain this to the kids? ... In an instant, everything's gone."
Briarwood Elementary School also suffered a hit, KFOR reported.
Across town, Moore Medical Center also took a direct hit.
"Our hospital has been devastated," Mayor Glenn Lewis said. "We had a two-story hospital, now we have a one. And it's not occupiable."
So 145 of the injured were rushed to three other area hospitals.
That number includes 45 children taken to the children's hospital at Oklahoma University Medical Center, Dr. Roxie Albrecht said. Injuries ranged from minor to severe, including impalement and crushing injuries.
Not the first time
Moore, and the Oklahoma City region, are far too familiar with disaster. In 1995, 168 people died in the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah federal building in Oklahoma City. In
1999 and then again in 2003, Moore took direct hits from tornadoes that took eerily similar paths to Monday's storm. The 1999 storm packed the strongest wind speeds in history, Lamb said.
This time, the two-mile-wide twister stayed on the ground for a full 40 minutes, carving a 22-mile path where thousands of residents live.
The tornado first touched down in Newcastle, Oklahoma, before ripping into neighboring Moore. An early estimate rated the tornado as an EF4, meaning it had winds between 166 and 200 mph, according to the National Weather Service.
Lamb likened the destruction to a "two-mile-wide lawnmower blade going over a community."
State Highway Patrol Trooper Betsy Randolph told CNN affiliate KOKI that it "mass devastation."
"I'm talking everywhere you looked, the debris field was so high, and so far and so wide, wounded people walking around the streets," she said. "They were bloody, there were people that had stuff sticking out of them from things that were flying around in the air. There were cars crumpled up like little toys and thrown on top of buildings. Buildings that were two and three stories tall that were leveled."
Storm chaser Lauren Hill was part of a team that recorded video of the massive tornado as it ripped through town.
"You could actually feel the vibration from the tornado itself as it was approaching," she said.
"We still have a bit of PTSD," she said. "It's devastating."
After the ear-shattering howl subsided, survivors along the miles of destruction emerged from shelters to see an apocalyptic vision. Homes and other buildings were shredded to pieces. Remnants of mangled cars were piled on top of each other. What used to be a parking lot now looked like a junkyard.
"People are wandering around like zombies," KFOR reporter Scott Hines said. "It's like they're not realizing how to process what had just happened."
The death toll has far surpassed anything the city has seen from a tornado -- and is expected to climb.
Hiding in freezers
Hines said rescuers found a 7-month-old baby and its mother hiding in a giant freezer. But they didn't survive.
At the devastated hospital in Moore, some doctors had to jump into a freezer to survive, Lamb said.
Lando Hite, shirtless and spattered in mud, described how the storm pummeled the Orr Family Farm in Moore, which had about 80 horses before the storm hit.
"It was just like the movie 'Twister,' " Hite told KFOR. "There were horses and stuff flying around everywhere."
More trouble brewing
But the storm system that spawned Monday's tornado and several other twisters Sunday isn't over yet.
Southwest Arkansas and northeast Texas, including Dallas, are under the gun for severe weather Tuesday. Those areas could see large hail, damaging winds and tornadoes.
A broader swath of the United States, from Texas to Indiana and up to Michigan, could see severe thunderstorms.
"We could have a round 3," CNN meteorologist Ivan Cabrera said. "Hopefully, it won't be as bad."
Still digging
The tornado sucked up debris along its path and swirled it several miles into the sky.
"The structures that were just demolished were picked up by the twister here and just jetted up into the atmosphere, 20,000 feet," Cabrera said.
James Dickens is not a firefighter or medic. He's actually a gas-and-oil pipeline worker. But that didn't stop him from grabbing a hard hat and joining other rescuers at Plaza Towers Elementary School.
"I felt it was my duty to come help," he said Tuesday after a long night of searching.
"As a father, it's humbling. It's heartbreaking to know that we've still got kids over there that's possibly alive, but we don't know."
MOORE, Okla. (AP) - Authorities say an elementary school in an Oklahoma City suburb took a direct hit from a mile-wide tornado. Gary Knight with the Oklahoma City Police Department says there is no word of injuries from the elementary school. Knight says the school suffered "extensive damage" on Monday afternoon. He did not say which school was hit. Neighborhoods in Moore, Okla., are flattened and blown apart, with shards of wood and pieces of insulation strewn everywhere. Television footage also showed first responders picking through rubble and twisted metal in the suburb south of Oklahoma City. There were no immediate reports of injuries. The suburb of Moore was hit hard by a tornado in 1999. The storm had the highest winds ever recorded near the earth's surface.

Rival Owners Association
ROA Autumn 2006 Itchenor Sailing Club
Our End of Season Dinner was enjoyed again at the Itchenor Sailing Club. A re-visit to a delightful club in lovely environs. Although it drizzled all day, the area is truly beautiful and a wonderful setting for Association members to say goodbye to the sailing season. The Member's Room was all set for our highly polished and professional pre-dinner presentations. David Jones treated us to 'Laying up in the frozen north', an un-missable guide if you are planning to leave your boat in the Baltic over winter (Presentation here). James Pickford regaled us with a pictorial guide to changing a gearbox in 'Torsional vibration and a Hurth gearbox', showing a blow-by-blow dissection of what he did on Kalabash. Then we were entertained to a review of this summer's trip around the UK by Sam Steele and Mags Campbell in R38 Ituna.
If good food, entertaining company and informative presentations make for a great evening then this certainly was one. Thirty-five members and guests made the trip, all by car with the exception of the crew of Preshaw Dreamer, braving the awful weather. B&B business was brisk as many members made it a weekend.
The Itchenor Sailing Club can provide all the facilities that we need for a successful meeting including inexpensive accommodation and state of the art presentation equipment. I am thinking of having the 2007 meeting at Itchenor again, so it would be good to hear other member's views. James Pickford has been a great support in making sure the arrangements went well; having an 'inside man' makes for a hassle free event!
The Folly Meet is booked for the weekend of June 2/3. I look forward to being in touch nearer the time.

Above: One of two ancient artifacts stolen from a Montreal museum in 2011 has now been recovered. But, the mystery of who stole it and how it ended up in Edmonton remains unsolved. Mike Armstrong reports.
MONTREAL – Quebec police say an artifact dating from the fifth century BC has been found in Edmonton after being stolen in Montreal more than two years ago.
The fragment from a Persian bas-relief sculpture was recovered last month in an apartment.
It was taken from the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in September 2011.
The object has an estimated value of $1.2 million.
On Jan. 29, RCMP arrested and charged 33-year-old Simon Metke of Edmonton with possession of stolen property over $5,000, possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, and possession of proceeds of crime.
Jana Lang, 26, of Edmonton, was charged with possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, and possession of proceeds of crime.
Metke and Lang will appear in Edmonton Provincial Court on March 19.
A search warrant was executed at an Edmonton home on Jan. 22, and the artifact was recovered.
Quebec provincial police held a news conference in Montreal Thursday and said the artifact was found with help from the RCMP and the public.
It is one of two that were stolen from the museum at around the same time – just a month later the marble statuette of a man's head from the first century BC was also pilfered.
The investigation team is asking for the public's help in locating the second item.
Anyone with information is asked to call Central Criminal Intelligence, Sûreté du Québec, at 1-800-659-4264; or at email: art.alerte @ surete.qc.ca . All information received will be treated confidentially.

Best smoothie recipe ever
There is a common misconception among the peoples of cohorts that green smoothie recipes can help them lose weight. Is is an examined fact or an only an over-hyped myth? Without wasting an excessive amount of your own time and keeping you apart from the truth, let's get right to the stage. Yes, in many ways green smoothies aids in modulating the weight but not that significantly as it's hyped on the net. One can readily lose weight by just living on raw smoothies diet however it is not that bright approach to pick your diet. The basic explanation that shows all the genuine arguments of the subject is that, these green smoothies features quite low amounts of carbs, fats and nutritional elements that favour obesity.
Getting over this argument, let's know more about smoothies, and what actually are these conditions 'green smoothies' or 'raw smoothies'? Green and raw smoothies are the exact same things with several words, usually a sort of vegetarian diet that's created by combining fruits and vegetables in some specific ratio to generate them taste good.
There are many companies which provide readymade green smoothie recipes however it is very easy to make your own at house. All you need some fruits, veggies, a blender. Is there anything else you are forgetting, not believe so? If you are new to this mixing and blending items, then you surely want a recipe that will direct you though the procedure. Once you get an idea how you can combine items then you'll learn rapidly and later on unless some seems really creative and tasty on the paper, you won't ever need a recipe again to appear into. To make your green smoothie taste better, pick the fruits and vegetables which you like best and comprise some sweet fruits also. Make sure to keep an eye on the ratio as it is the only component where you must focus.
There are several kinds of raw smoothie recipes being produced by those who wish to have a healthy living lifestyle in a creative way. As these recipes are simple to make and easily available in all sections of the planet, individuals have started creating new formulas to add their particular green smoothie recipes in the Wikipedia.org of existing recipes. It's just a question of blending them together and combining different vegetables and fruits in a fixed ratio.Check this link to learn more.
Have the web, in case you still feel insecure about this ratio component and read items related to this issue. There are countless ideas and queries you may look through on green smoothie recipes. A number of the recipes that are creating a buzz around the internet these times are:
' Green smoothies with peaches' Green smootihes with dates, banana and coconuts
' Pumpkin green smoothies' Green smoothie recipes with Pluto's' Pears, kiwis and clinatro in green smoothie' Green smoothies featuring dandelion greens and pasrsley
' Combine of watermelon, strawberries, baby spinach and tomato
Hopefully you'll be able to find all fixings in your nearby shops or it is already in your kitchen! Substitute the greens when you can locate other leafy greens as opposed to ones mentioned here.
A filling smoothie that will fill kids' sweet-tooth and provide them a dose of fiber. Use mild ice cream and fat-free milk to lower calorie content, if desirable.
2 cups 1% milk 1 cup chocolate ice cream 1/2 cup ice 3/4 cup raw oatmeal
Combine all ingredients in blender until oatmeal becomes smooth but does not shed its texture, and until ice becomes smooth. Add more ice-cream 1/4 cup at a time for taste and size of beverage. Top with fat-free whipped cream.
2. Peach-Banana Yogurt Smoothie
A creamy, fruity smoothie that gives kids calcium and also the health benefits of fruit. Use strawberries or blueberries in place of peaches, if wanted.
1 1/2 cups simple, fat-free yogurt 1 cup ice 1 can chopped peaches in water (not syrup), drained 1 banana
Both recipes serve about two.
Garnish top of beverage with additional fruit, if desirable (or combination in).

It's been a while, but the recent A:CM traffic from E3 has got my Alien saliva flowing.
First thing's first – check out the new trailer:
Just a little tease, but so sexy!!
After finishing Aliens vs. Predator's Marine story last night, I wanted to post some thoughts. In a nutshell, die-hard fans of the franchise need not despair at the game's mediocre critical reception – AvP is solid, playable, and fun.
Rebellion has done a fantastic job with pacing and tension-building, both feigned and (especially just as you finally let your guard down) mortally deserved. Sound design is the true star of this game, and sets the stage in every way – whether via the faithfully-delivered touchstone AvP sound effects, or through the fantastic usage of surround sound and contextual soundtrack. My heart literally kept pace with the pulse of my motion tracker, revving up predictably as the rising pitch of the gadget indicated an impending xenomorph rush.
That said, just as I won't make excuses for the lukewarm A&P franchise sequels, likewise for this new AvP game. In many ways, the game is a throwback – a reincarnation of Rebellion's original 1999 shooter, dressed up with (relatively) modern textures and high fidelity sound. Certainly, the game's visuals have been the subject of some criticism, but I did not find them terribly lacking. In the end, the locales that the subject matter demands – cramped industrial compexes, pre-fab colonial structures, sterile research facilities, steaming jungles, and ancient temples – are all here and rendered sufficiently well. Sure, AvP is no Mass Effect 2, but a strong effort nonetheless and good enough for suspension of disbelief, and that's what it's all about, yes?
More pointedly, the game's control offerings are a bit below the curve as well. Don't misunderstand – I had no problems navigating, aiming, selecting weapons, etc. However, I did find myself groping for many of the conventions we've come to take for granted in modern shooters. Sure, a cover mechanic is not yet ubiquitous, and the lack of said option could certainly be forgiven – if not for my character's inability to even crouch down behind a crate while taking fire. Perhaps his knees were damaged in the rough dropship landing during the opening sequence? I also found myself missing an "iron sights" ability to focus my aim down the length of my weapon, but the zoom function on the scoped rifle did serve as a partial replacement.
Lastly, the difficulty of the game was of a varying consistency. In places, I found myself almost stymied by a sudden, frenetic rush of xenomorphs in an otherwise nondescript map section, while several of the major setpiece chellenges were easily defeated and almost anticlimactic. One warning here regarding the game difficulty – Rebellion has not provided us with the option to adjust the game difficulty on the fly. If you find yourself overwhelmed, you'll need to restart the entire campaign to bump the difficulty down a notch.
But let's not point fingers at muddy textures and slightly-clunky game play per se – Dragon Age: Origins was no glamorous looker either, and its queued-up-action gameplay was positively frustrating at times. Still, DA:O received its laurels largely due to fantastic writing and an engrossing setting. In the same way, Rebellion's fierce dedication to evoking the AvP franchise's distilled essences has left me satisfied and temporarily sated. More soon as I progress in the Predator and Alien story modes…
Wait, Lance – what do you mean, temporarily sated? Why, faithful reader, I allude to nothing other than the forthcoming release of Aliens: Colonial Marines, currently in development by Gearbox Software. Yes, that Gearbox – the talented cats who developed a little shooter-looter called Borderlands. A:CM is a squad-based shooter with full 4-player story co-op, basted liberally in the juices of James Cameron's classic film Aliens. Randy Pitchford and crew, I am drinking the Kool-Aid you're brewing up!
I came to an epiphany this morning. (Sure, it was a trivial and geeky epiphany, but don't be judging on my epiphanies, man!) After reading the mixed critical reviews of Aliens vs Predator last week, I had decided not to purchase the game, or to at least hold off until the price dropped.
I realized that I was getting sucked in by the industry group think. Sure, an average/mixed review consensus of the typical title might prompt me to hold off, but this is the freaking Alien(s) and Predator franchises, for cripe's sake! If there's a bigger fan of those properties in the Lehigh Valley, I'd be highly surprised.
I had previously played Rebellion's original 1999 AvP game on PC, as well as the 2001 follow-up by Monolith. A quick check of Wikipedia shows that the original AvP received 80% scores from the major houses, and AvP2 roughly 60%, and I had a complete blast with both games!
So what the hell was I thinking? This is a major release involving my favorite movie ever (James Cameron's Aliens – duh!), and I was going to give it a pass?? I suppose this example serves to illustrate the prodigious mojo that game reviews (let alone the mighty and impersonal Metacritic score) exert over the modern, highly-wired fanbase.
Having recognized that chilling fact, tonight I throw off the chains of the IGN/Gamespot hive mind. I can already vividly hear the increasingly frenetic ping of the motion tracker, the chatter of my M41A pulse rifle, and the elephantine screams of my inhuman, horrific foe. So beware, xenomorph queen, and cower in your steamy, dark lair – I come for you tonight!
Last night, my wife and I were watching the first season of Battlestar Galactica on DVD. We'd only seen the miniseries prequel so far, and holy cow! This show does *not* disappoint, or pale in any way compared to all the hype. Give me more!
I digress though. While watching said delectable sci-fi goodness, I was working at importing the rest of my music CD's into iTunes for eventual transfer to my beloved iPod Photo. I'd only had about 1/3 of my library on the iPod to date, and so at work today I had access to a lot of beloved tunes that I hadn't listened to for a while.
I've got to turn you on to one album in particular: Manifesto for Futurism by Dali's Dilemma. These guys only ever made one album from what I can tell, but *wow* what great stuff. If you like progressive rock – Dream Theater and the like – even a little, I highly encourage you to check this great CD out! Absolutely vibrant tracks, anywhere from blistering to beautiful. Great, great stuff. My good friend Mike had turned me on to them a while back, and so I'm passing on his great recommendation – thanks Mikey!
Here's a link to the album on Amazon, and another at their label Magna Carta. Both sites contain audio samples that you can check out.

Staff reports
Newburyport Daily News
---- — GROVELAND — Plans to fill in a long-abandoned quarry have been generating controversy in town, in large part due to Newburyport's contentious experiences with the man who is doing the work.
William Thibeault, who owned the company that capped Newburyport's Crow Lane landfill, is proposing to fill in an abandoned quarry near the Groveland-Georgetown line. He's created a new company, Groveland R T, LLC, to manage the project.
Thibeault spent the past decade trucking in demolition debris to Crow Lane and then capping it with soil. The job was marked by frequent complaints from neighbors about foul smells emanating from the debris and confrontations between the city and Thibeault that led to fines levied against Thibeault, occasional shutdowns of the site and a lawsuit.
Crow Lane has finally been capped, but complaints about smells are still being reported. Frustration over Thibeault's handling of the Newburyport site is spilling over into Groveland, where some Newburyporters are urging Groveland residents to rally against Thibeault.
Among them is Newburyport Conservation Commission Chairman Joe Teixeira, who urged Groveland residents to oppose the arrival of Thibeault's firm. He suggested that the state is not effective in dealing with Thibeault's Crow Lane firm New Ventures, and that it was difficult to manage. Teixeira made his comments on a Facebook page called Groveland Town Crier, where several residents expressed their concerns about the project.
Teixeira said Groveland should take the time to research Thibeault's track record in Newburyport, then put effort into making sure that any agreement is "robust" enough to protect the town's interests in case something goes wrong.
Thibeault, whose businesses are largely based in Everett where he runs a demolition disposal business, did not return phone calls from The Daily News.
On Wednesday night at 7 p.m. at Veasey Park on Washington Street, the Conservation Commission will be holding a meeting to hear more information on the plans and ask questions.
Commission Chairman Mike Dempsey said he's aware of the controversy that the plan has generated, and said he's been warned the board, "better be careful about that company and its owner because of what was done in Newburyport."
The quarry is located off Salem Street, down a long dirt road directly across the street from the A.W. Chesterson manufacturing plant. For about two decades or so, stone was quarried from a rock outcropping on the site. It was shut down in the 1990s.
Thibeault purchased the 39 acres that make up the old quarry site in late 2005 for $450,000. It's located nearly on the town line that separates Groveland from Georgetown. Behind it lies an extensive area of thick forest, swamps and streams. The closest road behind it is West Street in Georgetown, nearly a mile away.
According to plans filed by Thibeault's company, he plans to bring in about 77,000 cubic yards of "clean fill" excavated from sites in Boston and the metro area. The soil will be brought in over a period of three to five years. The plans say that when the project is complete, the 6-acre pit will be brought up to grade, leveled, seeded and "left to revegetate."
Dempsey said problems have existed at the site for at least the past dozen years. It was partly filled with clay and what Dempsey described as a "weird silt" that has leached out of the quarry.
"We are kind of concerned because of the history of the site," said Dempsey. "We're expecting next Wednesday to flesh out questions regarding the site's past."

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
New West is an outstanding school both for their middle and high school program. The break the mold of poor quality public education in LA - thanks to their relentlessly hard working Principal, administration team and teachers. With over 1000 applicants this year alone for only a handle full of open admission spots - the only heartbreak for parents is that their is not enough spaces for the enormous demand for entry. Keep up the stellar work New West - but please look at opening up additional campuses across LA!!
Has great potential but seems to lack an understanding about what makes a good high school successful. The principal of the school doesn't show up until late morning or early afternoon. Not available to talk to until then. Really enjoyed getting to know the high school assistant principal of the high school this year but then was told he left. He seemed to understand high school students and connected well with with high school students. The current administration doesn't seem to understand high school students or what it takes to run a successful high school. There seems to be little very little respect from administration to the high school teachers
The word most parents use when talking about their middle schoolers' experience at NWC is "bloom." Kids learn through projects-based curriculum and "simulations" (hands on experience with what they study). They write their own textbooks in each class - my child's notebooks and projects are works of art. Some say the school is too easy, but you won't see me complain that my child does not spend an entire weekend with projects and homework. Kids are engaged in the learning and so creative! Teachers are young, it's true, but I no longer view it as a negative. They are enthusiastic and communicate their passion to the kids. (How often have teachers thanked your kids for a great year in a public school? I can't remember either.) The electives are diverse and rigorous, including classes like speech and debate, languages, art. In addition to academics, the school nurtures adolescents' social and emotional development. Kids are great at the school because they are taught to be great kids. I could see the difference in my child immediately after she transferred to NWC from our local public MS. Two years later, she is a happy, well-adjusted, and highly motivated student.
High-schoolers beware New West Charter High School is a failing experiment. They're a "college prep" with no AP classes. Honors classes are a joke: both honors and non-honors students are mixed together in the same classrooms, taught the same material at the same pace, and are given the same tests, with honors students only being expected to complete an extra project during the semester. They've been unable to keep teachers for the entire school year. In its 2 year history, each year has seen a teacher leave midway through the year. In the ensuing chaos, student work and tests get lost. Very little learning takes place until a replacement is found and has time to figure out where the last teacher left off. The school's API score has suffered. After consistently going up to near record highs, the poorly structured high school has caused the first drop in API score in the school's history. Most telling is the fact that their own college counselor has advised students to find another high school to improve their likelihood of getting into college. NOTE: This review is SOLELY for the high school. The middle school is outstanding and well deserving of its good reputation.
New West is not a supportive learning environment for students who need any special attention. The administration treats Federal law governing students with disabilities as if it were optional. The administration and faculty are shockingly ignorant about even the most common learning disabilities and use the "blame the student" approach that had cruelly prevented so many students from getting the free appropriate public education every American child is entitled to . Like so many charters they accept federal dollars ear marked for Special Education but fail to actually educate the students the money Is intended for. If New West wants to behave like a private school it should stop taking tax payer money.
Overhyped. My child was not engaged, not focused and clearly was looking over her shoulder to see what local public schools offered. Their API slid nearly 30 points but that is because high school is such a different game where diversity of experiences and students are important. Go to nearby magnets to see these things readily available.
New West had been fantastic for my child. We moved him from a stuffy private school and have never looked back. He settled in immediately and has become so interested in school again. They have a young faculty who are very enthusiastic, they seem to make the whole learning experience refreshing. I know not every school will suit every child but New West has giving my son a new outlook on learning, and I love it!
This school could be so much more. There are some great teachers and staff, but there are a lot of issues with this school. It feels like the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing. Everyone is out of the loop. Students, parents, teachers, and most importantly the administration don't know what's going on and are disconnected. Sadly, I will not have my child continue with New West.
My school is horrible. I wish I could tell you but I can't because I don't know how to. I have learned absolutely nothing in this past year at NW. The teachers give no respect to any of the students. and when you turn in homework...actually you don't even need to turn it in! they don't even check it. And many times they will lose your paperwork. The teachers act like they don't want to explain what they are teaching. If you have a question in class they ignore you. They sit at their desk and e-mail their friends and make you sit and do nothing. You could do better at another school.
New West is an outstanding school. Congratulations to all the students and staff for being named a California Distinguished school again! Thank you for creating a true gem in public education in LA!!!
In my opinion I think that it is not such a privilege to go to new west charter. There is not a field, all we have is a small parking lot. I feel that is is just not rite. I am really disappointed this year that we had to go threw two language arts teachers and we are behind greatly in language arts. It is not fair to me being in a school with absolutely barely anything. New west had the most unorganized field trip i have ever seen, it was disappointing. As a student of new west i do not feel that it is a privilege to attend new west charter school.
Overrated by hype. The principle is rigid and uncaring. There is no yard. Not accommodating. The bus stop is full of high end cars yet they claim to reach for underprivileged kids.
The absolute worst principle: Snobby, conceded, doesn't care at all about the students, only for herself and how the school is perceived to be. New West may have great test scores, but the way the staff treats the students and parents is unbearable. Please by all means do not send you children here.
Having experienced many schools in several districts I can say that New West has been the one were my now 7th grader has become the confident happy girl I knew she could be, due to the NW nurturing environment that is. I have never once seen the principal when she has not taken a moment to say hello with some pleasant easy conversation. Very approachable! No problem speaking to VP either or any staff. We love the new campus, it feels modern, clean and enjoyable for the kids. The park for PE is a block away. Many options for the kids to as far as electives etc. Some great teachers in history, math, dance, study hall, that are adored & respected by the kids. For all that had to be done in order to open the new campus it went very smoothly. The only negative aspect was reaction in the neighborhood, even before any kids set foot there. Difficult to understand why, NW is one of the most efficiently run campuses I have experienced. The kids feel a sense of family, are kind and encouraging towards each other. Thrilled to be a part of the NW family. Very proud to send my kids here!
Administration & teachers do not respond to email inquiries.Parents are made to feel like a nuisance.There is no sense of community for the parents/families who are asked to fundraise, volunteer, and contribute to the school in many ways.. The youth of the teachers can be a benefit at times, but a huge drawback at other times in terms of relating to parent concerns, students who are not understanding what is being taught, and attitude. Coming from a very community oriented &, welcoming elementary school,NW leaves most parents feeling frustrated & disenfranchised at the lack of communication from administration and staff, who tend to use a bossy/demanding tone of much of the correspondence we DO get.Athletic teams/facilities are subpar.They do not seem to make use of the nearby park & YMCA, etc as is suggested in much of their promotional material.It seems some children who behave inappropriately/offensively do not get dealt with in an effective solution oriented manner.Administrators seem to have superiority complex implying "lucky" to be there, however they need to feel "lucky" to have parents who care about their kids education & the school, & treat us accordingly, respectfully.
We feel so lucky to have been granted a spot in this school! Love the teachers all of them committed and happy to be part of NWC. Great Principal!
I love New West. I am thrilled that my two children are able to attend this wonderful school. I love the enthusiasm and discipline of the teachers and administrators. I value the students' focus on academics. I admire the active and required participation of the parents. I like that all of the New West students and families want to be there and count their blessings that they won the lottery to get in. New West has just completed a huge undertaking opening a high school and relocating to a new location at the same time. This has been an enormous undertaking not without many hurdles and obstacles, and New West has persevered and is moving forward as a shining example of what a public school should be. Thank you, Dr. Weir and all staff at New West.
My daughter is doing very well at New West (getting all A's the last 2 years) I would be happy, but I am concerned she doesn't really have to work for them. This school seems really easy, and not challenging enough. Her friends seem to get more homework and need to study more at another public school and are not getting A's. I am disappointed New West does not offer any AP classes as well. I feel this is important to be prepared for college.
New West is a great school with some of the best and most educated teachers. I went there for a year and met most of my best friends that i have today. I was very sad when i had to leave. The school might not be so big but it has many great activities to be involved in. All of the students there are extremely nice and always try their best. New west pushes you to achieve more and become more intelligent. I definitely recommend going there.
The attitude at the school is not "growing pains". It comes from the top down - elitist snobs, rude. A friend of mine moved her kid to a magnet school because she was tired of the attitude. Now I understand what she was talking about. I was rudely told I should count my blessings that my kid is at New West since it's a priviledge to be there. Entrance is by lottery! How can that be considered a priviledge?! The school has been in complete chaos since the move, I'm still waiting for school to begin. I so wanted to like this school but so far I have found nothing to like. I will continue to apply to magnet schools.

Women's soccer ends the week with a streak
The Linfield women's soccer team won three games this week, winning 2-0 against Lewis & Clark on Oct. 12, 1-0 against Willamette on Oct. 15 and 2-0 against George Fox on Oct. 16.
The game against Lewis & Clark started out well for Linfield. In less than 15 minutes, junior Anna Sours scored the first goal of the game.
Another goal wasn't scored until the second half, when Linfield scored once again. This time, the goal was scored by senior Jenna Quiring, with about 20 minutes left in the game. Lewis & Clark attempted to score a couple of goals, but aimed too high and wide. The game ended soon afterward, securing the win for Linfield.
The away game against the Willamette Bearcats started out rough, with multiple fouls committed on both sides. With less than two minutes left in the first half, freshman Zoe Langsdorf attempted a shot at the goal, but the ball went too far to the right. The first half ended with neither team scoring a goal.
The second half played out similarly to the first half, with multiple fouls and no goals scored. Five minutes into the second half, Willamette player Stephanie Skelly got a yellow card.
Toward the bottom of the game, sophomore Marie Johanson attempted a goal, but the ball was saved by Willamette goalie Nicole Price.
The game ended up in overtime. With two minutes left in overtime, junior Christine Tamamoto scored a goal, winning the game for the Wildcats.
"It was the most amazing goal," said sophomore Emily Fellows.
On Oct. 16, the Wildcats played at home against the George Fox Bruins. Linfield freshman Stephanie Socotch scored her first goal of the season and the first goal 28 minutes into the game. The remainder of the first half was played aggressively, with multiple fouls and attempts at the goal committed by the Wildcats, but no goals.
Both teams fought hard for a win during the second half, Linfield fighting to stay ahead, George Fox fighting to catch up. Senior MacKenzie Doty secured the win for the Wildcats when she scored a goal with less than a minute left in the game.
For the Wildcats, the weekend was all about "getting revenge," said Fellows. Earlier in the season, the Wildcats lost 3-1 to Willamette and tied 1-1 to George Fox.
"It felt good to get revenge," said Cole McCool, assistant coach.
Not only did the Wildcats not let either team win, but "we didn't give away any goals," said McCool. "Defensively, the entire group is playing really well." No team has scored a goal on the Wildcats for the past four games.
After the weekend's games, the Linfield women's soccer team is ranked number one in the conference.
Next, the Wildcats are up against the University of Puget Sound Loggers on Oct. 22.
"We have to beat them," said Fellows.
The Wildcats only have three weeks left in their season, playing their final in-season game against Pacific Lutheran on Nov. 5.

Can hypnosis help to slow dementia?
craegmoor.co.uk 6 August 2008
Each week it seems new research sheds more light on elderly mental illness and clinical trials offer hope of new treatments, yet recent studies have suggested dementia sufferers may benefit from more unconventional methods.
One recent development has seen elderly residents in some Welsh care homes given Nintendo Wii games, similar to those used in schools to encourage children to exercise, the BBC reports.
Neath Port Talbot council hopes the games consoles will help to keep residents "mentally alert".
Now, researchers at the University of Liverpool have found that effects of dementia can be slowed down through hypnosis, helping to improve the quality of life for those with the condition.
Hypnosis has been found to offer other medicinal benefits, particularly in alleviating cancer suffers' pain, research from the American Cancer Society has shown. Dr Ted Gansler wrote in the journal Cancer that studies have shown hypnosis and acupuncture can relieve some symptoms of the disease, yet very few people actually make use of such therapies.
Instead, the majority of those surveyed by Dr Gansler said prayer, relaxation, faith healing and nutritional supplements were the most common forms of complementary and alternative therapies.
While less than two per cent of cancer sufferers turn to hypnosis and acupuncture, 61.4 per cent chose spiritual practice, the cancer society's study revealed.
However, the Liverpool university study showed that hypnosis could also have significant benefits for those with dementia.
Led by forensic psychologist Dr Simon Duff, the research team compared the effects of hypnosis with that of "mainstream" healthcare treatments on those with dementia, as well as investigating the impact of a form of group therapy.
According to the report, those receiving hypnosis therapy demonstrated improved levels of concentration, memory and socialisation, while relaxation and motivation were also found to have improved.
Dr Duff said that during the study, which involved weekly sessions over a nine-month period, those simply attending the discussion group appeared to stay the same. Meanwhile, people receiving the normal treatment actually showed a "small decline".
Participants given hypnosis therapy "showed real improvement across all of the areas" monitored by the research team, Dr Duff explained.
"Participants who are aware of the onset of dementia may become depressed and anxious at their gradual loss of cognitive ability and so hypnosis – which is a tool for relaxation – can really help the mind concentrate on positive activity like socialization," he added.
The news could bring hope to the 700,000 people living with dementia in the UK – a figure expected to exceed one million by 2025, statistics from the Alzheimer's Society show. Some 60,000 deaths each year can be attributed to the condition, while the illness costs the UK approximately £17 billion annually.
Dr Dan Nightingale, who co-wrote the research into hypnosis, said existing evidence suggests that the "correct use" of hypnosis can "enhance" the quality of life for those with dementia.
"We have now developed a course for clinicians who wish to incorporate hypnosis into health care plans," he stated.
The Alzheimer's Society suggests that communication can be crucial when caring for people with dementia, as this can "vastly improve quality of life" for those with the condition.
Susanne Sorensen, head of research at the society, said speaking to people in an "adult manner" can enhance their overall care experience.
"Alzheimer's Society research is calling for mandatory specialist dementia training to help empower staff and ensure everyone gets access to a high standard of care," she remarked.
Evidence suggests therefore, that effective methods of care for those with dementia may not be confined to those of the "mainstream", meaning moving forward hypnosis may find its place in a more-rounded method of treatment.

LAKE CITY, Minn. (KTTC) -- Wednesday night's severe weather blasted southeast Minnesota with strong winds and heavy rain, but it's the hail that's causing big problems. Golf ball size hail hit parts of Wabasha and Goodhue counties hard, but the size wasn't the only problem, It's how much of it that fell.
Normally when you are stuck in the hail core of a thunderstorm, hail will last a few minutes. Everyone we spoke with around the Lake City area say the persistent large hail lasted at least 20 minutes and because it lasted so long and the storms were so intense, the hail piled up like snow.
"That's unbelievable, I've never seen anything like it that big," said Dean Kline.
Some of this hail that fell Wednesday night approached ping pong size, and in some cases even close to golf ball size hail. In some places it looked like snow about four or five inches deep. This large hail blanketed streets, yards, and fields like it was fresh snow. And it was treated as if it were. Plows were clearing the streets to free them from the vast mounds of hail that in spots could be measured in feet.
"It was three feet deep in some places out on the road here and four wheel drive pick ups were getting stuck out in the road and when we seen what was going on, another driver came by and helped pull that vehicle out and then we own a dairy farm here so I thought well people couldn't get through the road, I got a skid loader and started pushing the hailstones off the road," said Kline.
"I couldn't believe what was going on. We were in the house and it was banging on the roof and on the siding. Never seen anything like this before," said another neighbor John Moyer.
After the short term effects of this massive hailstorm are dealt with, there will be long term effects for many.
"We raise a lot of alfalfa for our dairy farm and most of our alfalfa probably is gone because it all got hailed off," added Kline.
And now their is an anxious wait for first light to get a better sense of just how much damage was done.
"It will be interesting once daylight gets here to what's going on. We got cattle in the pasture, the fences are down, and we don't know if there's cows grounded or not. We won't know that til daylight. There won't be much sleep tonight," said Moyer.

Hong Kong actress Carina Lau, who is married to hearthrob Tony Leung Chiu Wai, was reportedly jealous after fellow artiste Maggie Cheung said she wanted to squeeze his thigh.
Lau married Leung last year in Bhutan after many years of dating him.
All the major Chinese dailies reported that Leung had initially been invited to be a presenter at the recent Golden Horse Film Awards together with Cheung but he declined to prevent Lau from getting angry.
The dailies speculated that despite the couple getting married, the rumour mill on Leung and Cheung's relationship was still active.
Leung and Cheung had acted in several films as lovers, the most recent of which was Wong Kar Wai's In the Mood For Love.

Altoona (WQOW) - Just two days after a setback in Eau Claire, a retailer gets the green light in Altoona. Altoona reaches a deal with Kwik Trip.
Thursday night, the Altoona City Council approved the sale of two and a half acres to Kwik Trip in the northwest part of the River Prairie District. Kwik Trip is paying $875,000 for the land. The city says Kwik Trip approached it a month and a half ago. Tuesday night, the city of Eau Claire denied an annexation request for Kwik Trip to put in a new gas station off Highway 93. The Altoona city administrator says that decision did not factor into their approval.
"I think that the city council and the plan commission make decisions based upon what they perceive to be in the best interest of the citizens. This northwest quadrant convenience store has been planned there for a long time. It's a good first project to have in," says Altoona Mike Golat
Construction for the new store could begin this fall. It would be Kwik Trip's ninth location between Altoona and Eau Claire.
Also at Thursday night's meeting, the city approved rezoning Hillcrest Golf Course for a housing development. Rooney Properties and Heartland Homes and Development want to put in homes, apartments and senior housing into the former golf course. There would be around 500 units in the development. The plan is to also allow for some commercial space and to also leave part of the golf course as green space. Construction there could begin this summer.
Altoona (WQOW) - A new Kwik Trip store in Altoona will mark the first development in the River Prairie property west of Highway 53.
The announcement was made at Thursday night's Altoona City Council meeting. This would be the company's ninth store between Altoona and Eau Claire.
Press release from Altoona following city council meeting:
At tonight's meeting, Altoona City Council members unanimously approved the sale of 2.58 acres of property in the Northwest Quadrant of Altoona's River Prairie to Kwik Trip, Inc. for a convenience store site. The project represents the first development in River Prairie west of Highway 53.
The site is located north of River Prairie Drive between the east and west entrances to River Prairie's northwest quadrant. The sale is contingent on the City completing necessary infrastructure improvements to make the site "pad ready". The City plans to begin the necessary work this summer with construction to begin on the new Kwik Trip store in the Fall of 2013 or Spring of 2014.
"The project will provide an excellent anchor and traffic generator for the northwest quadrant," commented Mayor Jack Blackburn. "And, I know Kwik Trip coming to River Prairie will create even more interest in our mixed-use development."
Scott Teigen, Chief Financial Officer at Kwik Trip, echoed the Mayor's enthusiasm. "The development concept for the northwest quadrant is something Kwik Trip wants to be a part of. Kwik Trip has a longstanding relationship with Altoona, having built its store at 10th and Spooner in 1993. We have enjoyed a strong partnership with the community and we are excited to be part of Altoona's growth."
Ray Henning, Altoona's Council President, noted Kwik Trip's reputation as an excellent business, employer and corporate citizen. "Kwik Trip won the award as convenience store of the year in 2012 from CSP.net, and has been voted the best place to work in Southeast Wisconsin two years running by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Kwik Trip also treats their co-workers right, sharing 40% of their profits with both full and part-time co-workers."
Kwik Trip has been named one of America's Top Workplaces by Workplace Dynamics. Kwik Trip was ranked #21 nationwide among 872 organizations with more than 1,000 employees based on survey results of over 1 million employees.
According to Altoona Finance Director, Jon Pfeilsticker, the estimated value of the new store is over $4 million, which will generate over $80,000 in new property taxes annually. Kwik Trip officials estimate that the new store will create over 30 new jobs— half full-time and half part-time.

Hi Forum Nokia
I want to use RConnectionMonitor to retrieve the IAP ID of a connection. But it gives me a message Feature not supported?
Why is this happening? And is there a way to find IAP Id of a connection?
Hi Forum Nokia
I want to use RConnectionMonitor to retrieve the IAP ID of a connection. But it gives me a message Feature not supported?
Why is this happening? And is there a way to find IAP Id of a connection?
- Did you add the necessary Capabilities?
- Did you try it on the device?
More links:
- S60 Platform: Internet Access Points Example v2.0.
- Retrieving currently active access point.
Thanks for the quick response Vin
Yes I've realized RConnectionMonitor needs a capability named NetworkControl.
Hmm.. so I cant use a developer ceritificate to test the code right? This capability only available to the non- devcert right?
In Symbian we can always have one more question
you probably will not need NetworkControl capability - it's necessary only for some sorts of calls. It is something, which you probably will not need for your application. In the case you will find it is really necessary - be aware that NetworkControl capability is from category "Platform-approved capabilities", so the Nokia approval for use such API will be necessary.
For normal use of the RConnectionMonitor class those capabilities should be enough:
NetworkServices ReadDeviceData ReadUserData
Best regards,
Unfortunately it's coming under Platform-approved capabilities. Hope this link from FN.Wiki may be helpful: Sensitive Applications.Originally Posted by strike_noir
I also had the same problem with this RConnectionMonitor.
I am using 2nd Edition FP3. So, I think this is not the matter of Capability.
I also tried to get IAP id. But returned "not supported".
Getting some other information, like signal strength, network status, worked correctly. I just tried to get IAP id as I did for other info, but only this one faied.
Has anyone succeeded to get IAP id by this method? Or is there any other workaround?
I think that we when event EConnMonNetworkStatusChange occurs it is not possible to get IAP ID, but you cen get it when EConnMonCreateConnection occurs!!

When Andre Carter went down with an injury in the first quarter of the New England Patriots' game against the Denver Broncos, it was obvious right away that he wouldn't be returning to the game. Carter was taken to the locker room on a cart for a leg injury, and now indications are that the leg injury is a serious one. Carter's injury was to his quadriceps, and it will require season-ending surgery.
Carter's injury is a serious blow to the Patriots, whose pass rush has not looked quite as fearsome as in years past. Carter has been the team's best pass rusher, producing 10 sacks on the season. However, there is some reason for optimism. Carter was replaced in the game by Mark Anderson, who performed very well and gave fans hope that the drop-off in production will not be too severe with Carter out of the lineup.

A man is madly in love with a princess and wants to propose, but an evil witch has cast a spell on him, and now he can say only one word a year. So he waits 14 agonizing years—accumulating all his words—before approaching his beloved.
Finally, the big day arrives. When he sees her, his heart skips a beat. He gathers his nerve, drops to his knees, and intones, "My darling,
I have waited many years to say this: Will you marry me?"
The princess turns around, smiles, and says, "Pardon?"
