This first-to-market enterprise-grade solution allows retailers and brands to distribute compelling location-aware mobile experiences in minutes and enables marketers to use multiple mobile channels such as text, mobile web and push notifications in conjunction with the mobile wallet functionality of Passbook.
Working with Passbook's location-aware functionally, Pass Manager gives retailers the power to deliver offers that are timely and relevant to a consumer's proximity to a physical retail location. Passbook's lock-screen notifications can be triggered based on a person's location, serving as a reminder of existing offers, creating urgency, driving the consumer in-store to redeem an offer while it's still top of mind, relevant and convenient to them.
Maximizing reach when distributing Passes is critical for marketers, which is why Vibes developed a single SmartLink™ that can be distributed through any channel, including text, email, Web, mobile advertising and social networks. The intuitive SmartLink technology sends Passes to iPhone users and mobile Web content to users on other devices. Pass Manager works with our Mobile Pages Module, enabling retailers and brands to create Passes and a fallback mobile web landing page through a single interface by using the same content and then distributing a single URL.
Pass Manager is the first self-service module available in a series of mobile wallet management capabilities we support that will include offers, event promotions, loyalty cards and more.

TRADING on Anzac Day never sat well with Orange cafe owner Suzy Glasby, whose husband has a long family history of military service.
But rather than shutting up shop this year, her cafe, Scrumptious on Summer, will donate every cent of Friday's profits to the local Legacy branch.
"My husband and I feel very strongly about Anzac Day not being a day for making money," Mrs Glasby said.
"We're hoping to do some real good."
Her husband, Max, served in the navy, as did his father, Donald Glasby.
Max's great uncles were prisoners of war at the Changi prison camp in Singapore.
Staff at Scrumptious were only too happy to get on board with the idea.
"When I mentioned it to our main barista, she said well if you're donating your money I'll donate my time," Mrs Glasby said.
"The coffee roaster in Sydney, Espressology, is donating the coffee."
If all goes well, Mrs Glasby believes the cafe could raise a few thousand dollars for Legacy, which provides services for the families of deceased or disabled war veterans.
In Orange, Legacy provides support for about 130 widows of servicemen.
"When we take a widow on board . . . she will be allocated to one of our Legatees who will keep in touch with her and make sure she's well looked after," Orange Legacy branch president John Howie said.
Both the RSL and Legacy were keen to give Scrumptious the thumbs up for the initiative.
"It's very kind of them, a very generous thing to do," Mr Howie said.
And Mrs Glasby sees no reason why her cafe should be the only one to give away Friday's takings.
"We've decided to put the challenge out to all other cafes in the country to do the same thing," she said.
Only the coffee window will open, starting at 6am on Friday and temporarily closing during the march.
Customers will also be able to make their own donations at the cafe.

WFP has announced that the MV Rozen, a WFP-contracted vessel, was hijacked off the coast of north-eastern Somalia, somewhere near Bargal, north of Hafun in the state of Puntland at around 0935 yesterday, Sunday, 25 February 2007.
24 December 2006
WFP started dropping food into Somalia and Kenya from aircraft over the weekend, expanding its campaign by land, water and air to assist more than a million people suffering because of floods cutting roads and spreading sickness.
21 November 2006
A Boeing 747 jumbo jet chartered by WFP has landed in Nairobi, delivering 94 metric tons of high energy biscuits from a depot in Brindisi, Italy, for hundreds of thousands of victims of Kenya's largest floods in years.
20 November 2006
WFP has launched a regional air operation to provide fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters to transport aid workers and humanitarian assistance to more than a million people in Somalia and Kenya hit by the worst floods in years.
26 September 2006
Somali refugees escaping the conflict between the Union of Islamic Courts and the Transitional Federal Government have pushed the number of refugees in Kenya to the highest level in a decade, threatening to exhaust food aid stocks unless urgent donations are made, WFP said today.
16 June 2006
Recent outbreaks of fighting and the worst drought in a decade have pushed many people in Somalia to their limit, creating the bleakest malnutrition situation in years, WFP and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) have warned.
9 April 2006
A ship chartered by WFP docked yesterday in Mogadishu – the agency's first delivery in the capital's port in more than a decade.

As a result of insufficient funding, WFP has been forced to reduce food aid rations to some 230,000 Somali and Sudanese refugees living in two camps in remote areas in northeast Kenya.
21 February 2006
As the media and the humanitarian community focus on the spreading drought in the Horn of Africa, WFP is deeply concerned that more attention is needed to highlight the persistent problems faced by the world's refugees – most of them in Africa.

Over the Holiday break from school I am looking to do a little gambling. Normally, I would go to Shreveport, but now I live just north of Dallas and have thought about trying out one of the Oklahoma casinos. Anyone have any knowledge of or recommendations of which Oklahoma casinos to tryout. I am not a big slots player and want to play some table games and get some adult beverages.
Thinks in advance for the help.

The Chicago Bears will face the Green Bay Packers for the 181st time ever when they travel to Lambeau Field today. The Packers lead the all-time series 92-82-6.
This game means a lot for the Packers (9-6) and it could mean something for the Bears (11-4) as well. The New Orleans Saints play the Bucs and the Falcons play the Panthers, if both lose the Bears could get the #1 seed. The Bears would then have something to play for by 4:15 ET, when the face the Packers.
If they beat the Packers, with those scenarios takings place, they would get the #1 seed in the NFC.
The Packers will be playing hard in this one because if they win they are in the playoffs. The Packers would square off with the Eagles next weekend. The winner of the NFC West, either the Rams or the Seahawks would likely face the New Orleans Saints next weekend as well.
The Bears have been on a roll on offense. The team has went 7-1 since the bye week. They want to beat the Packers even if the 1 PM ET games don't go their way. As much as the Bears should rest their starters because this game might mean nothing to them, I think they should really try hard to beat their rival Green Bay to keep them from making the playoffs.
Lovie Smith hasn't said he will rest his starters. Smith really wants to beat the Packers, when he took the head coaching job in 2004, he said his goal was to beat the Green Bay Packers.
The Bears have a 26-15 record under Lovie Smith. Since 2004, they have won the division more than any other team — three times (compared to twice for the Packers, twice for the Vikings and no times for the Lions).
It has been reported that RB Kahlil Bell and TE Kellen Davis got increased practice reps this week and could come into the game in the second half. WR Earl Bennett re-aggravated his ankle last week against the Jets and will be out for the game today.
Resting your players and getting crushed by the Packers won't help your confidence heading into the playoffs. The Bears have a bye week next week, so today will be either a bye week or another game that the Bears could use to get momentum heading into the postseason.
I would play to beat the Packers and kick them out of the postseason. I would play hard because you want to have confidence heading into the playoffs. I would want to show the league that we are for real. Sweeping the Packers, sweeping the division and winning 12 games on the season will show the NFL that the Bears are real.
At the same time you don't want to risk injury to some of your best players, so if the Bears are getting demolished, I say rest your players before they get hurt.
In other news, RB Matt Forte needs 22 rushing yards to reach 1,000 yards on the season and WR Johnny Knox needs 40 receiving yards to become the first receiver to get 1,000 yards in a season, since WR Marty Booker.
If the Bears play their starters today, I say they win 24-17. If not the Packers will win 27-14.
We'll see what happens, it's up to Lovie Smith and company today. Either way it's the Bears against Packers, it doesn't get much better than that.

CATEGORIES Trailers/Clips, Sci-FiIt's hard for me to get excited about something like Alice, Syfy's twisted new take on Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. NBC and Syfy seemingly produce these modern versions of classic tales for the same reason Hollywood studios push out stale remakes and sequels – because they already have a built in audience. And the producers don't have to worry about coming up with an original story. All they have to do is force some contempo quirkiness into the age-old text and be done with it. (Make the flamingos flying machines! Turn the caterpillar into a hookah-smoking Harry Dean Stanton!)
Similar to Syfy's Tin Man, its dark and tedious Wizard of Oz redo, Alice offers a bizarre retread of its classic source material. But writer-director Nick Willing (the brains behind Tin Man) smartly sets his tale in a futuristic version of Lewis Carroll's Wonderland. And he's created a brand new Alice too. She's a tough twentysomething brunette who teaches martial arts and high-kicks bad guys in the face.
Alice (Caterina Scorsone) follows her kidnapped boyfriend through the looking glass and ends up in a dystopian fantasy world -- Wonderland, 150 hard years after the original Alice's trip down the rabbit hole. The place is ruled by the wicked Queen of Hearts (an over-the-top Kathy Bates) who dopes her subjects with liquid emotions drained from kidnapped humans. After a quick tour of Wonderland's fantastic horrors, Alice meets the crafty young Hatter (Andrew-Lee Potts), and they set off on a mildly amusing quest to find her boyfriend and topple the Queen's rule.

Techcrunch has an interesting piece about a job ad seeking a "Twitter Expert" in Greenwich Village, New York. The job ad, in Craigslist, explains how the applicant should apply:
1) Email me two tweets. The first should be about your experience. The second should by why you're perfect for this job. If you exceed twitter's allotted character count, you're done.
2) Email me your Twitter name in link form (e.g. http://www.twitter.com/YOURNAME)
3) Tell me how many followers you have and how many people you follow.
4) Tell me who's the best person you follow and why (in tweet form).
5) Tell me what's the best way to get more followers (in tweet form).
6) Specific salary requirement.
They haven't asked for a CV or a letter explaining qualifications or relevant experience. Instead they've gone right to the heart of the issue. If you can apply convincingly then there's a very good chance you are perfect for the job.
I often think we should be recruiting our new journalists the same way. After all, we know what we are looking for these days - the ability to blog, to communicate two-way, to build a following - why not just limit ourselves to the evidence. We probably need a reference or two just to satisfy ourselves that the potential recruit isn't a mass-murderer, but apart from that the evidence should speak for itself.
And think how much easier it was for the recruiter to assess all those job ads - total size 600 characters each applicant!

Number of ratings 14 / Average Grade: N/A Submit a correction
Dr. Z meets his students half-way. Put in the effort to learn and ask questions, and he'll personally help you through the course. He revised my essay line-by-line, met with me to prepare for the final, and came to school on a day he he otherwise wouldn't have just so I could take a test I missed. Plus LOTS OF EXTRA CREDIT (like 5% of total grade).
The first 30 minutes of class tended to be non-consequential; mostly just get out your laptop and play a game time. The quizzes tend to be a bit in depth, unnecessarily so. But he tells you exactly what he wants out of the tests and papers. No reason to be surprised by your grade in the class. Really interesting class overall.
REL 111g
Great prof esp if you meet with him. Always have him read your drafts before you submit- it's awesome to be able to take advantage of this. Do the bible readings and try to take notes/pay attention in lecture, but the sample midterm/final is very helpful for actual final.
Incredible professor. He's extremely passionate with his subject and is probably one of the most helpful teacher I've had. However, even if you come from a relative religious background, don't count on having an easy semester. Be sure to get your paper checked before submitting it to him at least once.
Nicest professor at 'SC! Attendance is mandatory; no powerpoints / notes online. Very accessible and willing to help students out. Enthusiastic lectures keep students interested in the material. Not impossible to get an A in the class if you work hard and ask for help on the papers! Willing to read drafts and help you revise / rewrite!
Quizzes every Monday on a lot of reading in the Old Testament. Destined to get a B on essays. Gives you exact outline for midterm and final. Prepare to get a B in the class
Great professor who loves what he teaches and really cares about his students / students' grades. He wants us to succeed and does his best to provide us with all the resources necessary to get an A in his class. Only take if you're willing to attend all/most lectures and do the weekly Bible readings.
He's a really nice professor that tackles difficult material found in the Old Testament with stories, clear explanations, and his famous quote "I don't know." He goes off the tangent A LOT, but it is worth it because he tells you nice little stories. I would suggest you to take this class if you are a competent writer and zealous reader.
He's great! Best teacher I've ever had. However, if yo don't want to work, don't take this class. Every week you'll have a quiz on sections of the Bible, they are quite lengthy sections, but easy quizzes if you read it. Then 1 midterm, 2 papers, and one exam. Quite a hard grader on papers however, but he's great!!
Zuckerman is amazing! The lectures were great and he made the subject really interesting. Learned so much in the class. Warning: Zuckerman considers any essay grade 94% or higher to be "better than what he could write." Hard to get an A, but so worth taking the class. Changed my outlook on lots of things, not just REL-related.
Professor Zuckerman is one of the best professors at USC without a doubt. Yes, there is LOTS of reading for this class, but he is extremely helpful and genuinely cares about his students. His classes are always fascinating and revolves around him telling stories, which is great! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED if you're okay with reading. You learn a lot!!!
Extremely knowledgeable. His classes take work to do well in there BIG distinction between B and A. You can work very hard and get a B. If you want an A you are going to be rewriting your papers many times, but honestly my writing skills improved A LOT from his class. He is a VERY nice guy and will go out of his way for his students.
Professor Zuckerman is probably one of the most knowledgeable individuals I've ever met in my life. Contrary to what the other comment states, you DON'T need to have any prior knowledge! He's really funny and makes class go by so quickly. It's a hard class but DEFINITELY worth the effort.
DONT TAKE UNLESS YOU KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT JEWS and ANCIENT MESOPOTAMIA.

This is a narrow, south facing buttress that sits a short ways up the Mid-Columbine Trail, which is on the north or right side of the Canyon as you're heading up. It only takes 10-15 minutes to reach the base, which is literally on the trail. The very bottom of this formation is pretty crumbly, but it quickly turns into solid, clean granite. I first noticed this formation from the Mt. Cutler Trail on the other side of the Canyon. The buttress is highlighted by a large roof about half way up, which is named The Nose. The other cracks on this buttress also look good, but I have only climbed the roof. If anyone has additional information about this formation, its name, or any FA info, please let me know, and I will update the description.
Getting There
Drive up canyon a short ways, and park at the Mid-Columbine Hiking Trail on the right hand side of the road. Walk up the trail about 10-15 minutes to the west and you will see the obvious buttress and big roof directly above you. If you reach the parking area for Mt. Cutler, you've gone too far up canyon. If driving down canyon from Mt. Cutler, this rock looms directly above the road, immediately across from a large, dammed up water hole in the creek. This may help you orient yourself for what you're looking for. I'll try to add some photos soon.

COACH BEAMER: They (Florida State) are 8th ranked and probably deserve to be higher. This is a fantastic football team, a very talented football team, a very hard-playing football team, athletic. So they have our utmost respect, that's for sure.
Q. Considering you came into the year replacing four starters up front on the offense and then you lost the one guy you had back, how would you rate the offensive line's ability to compete this year in the face of all of that?
COACH BEAMER: I think they continue to get better. The other part there is Wang has been in and out so much. He's having a hard time keeping him in there too. So that offensive line, that is the one place that you want people, continuity, and we just haven't been able to keep that week-in and week-out.
Q. Have they been good enough for to you win games or has it been a major problem?
COACH BEAMER: No, no, I think they have had their moments. Just like I've been talking. I think our running backs are young, and sometimes they look young but they played enough games now that that really shouldn't be the issue. I think we've been spotty at the wide receiver position made some catches, haven't made some catches. So I think the inconsistency is a little bit here and a little bit there on our offense.
Q. As you look at Florida State's defensive front, what do you see there in that match-up?
COACH BEAMER: There are not many teams that can just rush four and get constant pressure on the quarterback. They're one team that can. Then they're extremely fast at linebacker and extremely quick in the secondary. So they earned that number one defense in the country. They play that way.
Q. Is there a tradeoff with potentially hosting perspective student-athletes on a visit and losing that experience for them?
COACH BEAMER: Well, I think there's good and bad in all situations. There is a lot of excitement about Thursday night games here in Blacksburg and over the years. If you can play, and you're the only game on, and one or two games at the most. So if you can play well, I think it's an advantage for your program.
Q. Once the game is out of the way, is that an added benefit for you guys to get your coaches out on the road early for Friday and Saturday games to evaluate talent and meet with kids that are interested in your program?
COACH BEAMER: Well, yeah. You pick up a couple of days that's being back-to-back Thursday night games. You get a couple of extra days in the beginning of it and get a couple of extra days in the end of it. I think extra day's rest for your players and recruiting for your coaches, I mean, that's big right now.
Q. I guess as a tribute to your program that you guys haven't been in this position in ages. You have a losing record in November. Is there any kind of difficulty from a mental aspect of keeping the positive vibe that you usually have this time of year or has that been difficult?
COACH BEAMER: No, I think our practices have been good. I feel like we've got good talent. We just haven't played well as a football team consistently. I don't think it's lack of trying. I just think it's something here, something there, and it keeps -- the other side of it. We've been on the other side of it a bunch of times where you get some momentum and you made one good play and here you make another good play and you make another good play. So we've been on the other side of that too.
Q. You mentioned earlier some of the inconsistency at receiver. Do you think that's been the biggest problem with the dropoff statistically from Logan Thomas this year that he hasn't been as accurate. His interceptions are up. Is that dealing with a new set of receivers that haven't been as efficient as the guys you lost?
COACH BEAMER: Well, I think it goes back to your offense. You've got four new starters and now five new starters. The guy that was very depended on a lot, Andrew Miller, had a season-ending injury. So I think that affects you. The running backs in the running game, that affects how your quarterback can play and how you can call plays and not get into 2nd and 10 and get a big pass-rush. Then receivers, being consistent and catching the ball and being where you need to be and so forth; I think all of those things kind of go into it. There is just a lot of new people around Logan. But as far as his toughness, as far as his dedication to winning, as far as his ability, that's not in question.
Q. How has your recruiting footprint changed over the years? How's the geography where you find it's changed?
COACH BEAMER: Yeah, since we became members of the ACC, we basically recruit within six hours of Blacksburg. I think there are a lot of good players within that area and the family mom and dad come on visits most of the time. I like the family visiting Virginia Tech, and then they can come back and watch them play without too much trouble. I think there are a lot of advantages in being able to basically recruit. Now if it's a special situation or whatever, we'll go further. You know, six hours, and of course that includes a lot of the teams that we play, a lot of the area that makes it a good situation too.
Q. Do you think this power shift we've seen from the Midwest and Northeast and South and West, first national titles and all those sorts of things, is that going to continue or is it kind of a cycle deal where it will revert back?
COACH BEAMER: Say that again?
Q. We see a lot of national titles in the South and the West. We see the balance power shift from Northeast, Midwest to the Southeast, west. Do you think that continues. Or is it a trend in a cycle over time?
COACH BEAMER: Well, I think the Southeastern Conference is always going to be strong. I think all of us are competing like heck to come to that level and be competitive at that level.
Jimbo Fisher
COACH FISHER: Enjoyed our off week. As far as that, had great preparation this week, good practices. Looking forward to going up to Blacksburg. We'll have a heck of a challenge. As we know, a Thursday night game, they always play well. Frank always has his guys ready to play. They have a great team. Excited. They're very athletic on all three phases. We'll have to be on our A-game and have a heck of a challenge tomorrow night. So we're looking forward to it.
Q. They've had to rebuild their offensive line coming into the year. They've had to shuffle guys because of injuries. What do you see from the play of the five guys they've been using most on that offensive line?
COACH FISHER: They play hard. They're well coached. They play physical. They'll butt you in the mouth. They've done a nice job, and they've moved the ball all year. So those guys have done a very nice job.
Q. You mentioned the fact that they've been able to generate yards. They've struggled to generate points. When you watch them, what do you see preventing them from scoring?
COACH FISHER: Well, sometimes they can be -- the other team makes a great play or you have one miss cue in the red zone, and it can set you back. It's hard. Every team has that factor, but they are very explosive. I can't put my finger on why. I know what's being coached there, but they are very explosive and are capable of scoring a lot of points.
Q. Virginia Tech's been one of the ACC's consistent winners, but they've struggled this year. Are you surprised by where they are right now in the standings?
COACH FISHER: For a Virginia Tech team not to be at the top, yeah, it does surprise you because they've been there so consistently. It shows injuries, attrition, things can happen in a season. They're still the same coaches and have the same players. They'll still be doing pretty good. But sometimes the reasons for winning and losing are very small, and sometimes the breaks don't go your way.
Q. Just in terms of playing out-of-state, the only time I think you've done that this year was the NC State game. How important is it as a program to win on the road in order to be successful?
COACH FISHER: I mean, we win on the road. Going to Miami is just as tough as going to N.C. State or anywhere else. Whether it's in the state and the competition you play, South Florida's got a great team. It's important to win all the time, at home and on the road. If you want to be a great team, you have to win on the road.
Q. Everyone knows how tough Virginia Tech is to play against on Thursday night, especially at home. What do you feel your team needs to do to secure a win tomorrow night in Lane Stadium?
COACH FISHER: We have to play great, sound, fundamental football. We have to be consistent from the opening snap to the last snap. They're not going to give you anything. You have to earn everything you get. Play consistent in all three phases, play physical, and be able to sustain the surge of energy in the stadium and everything that goes on with playing on the road. We'll have to be very consistent.
Q. I want to ask about Vince Williams. He's played for you in and out over the last couple of years. Can you talk about Vince as a player and a student and what he brings to you guys defensively?
COACH FISHER: One thing, he's already got his degree. He's already graduated. Vince is a great leader. He has great passion for the game. Loves playing, he's very physical. Affects his teammates and brings energy to practice from the guys that aren't there, and he's making them get up and have that energy. Very pleased with him, very blessed to have coached him, and he's a great young man.
Q. Also, Vince's younger brother as well plays for you. Vince said that he's kind of the opposite as his brother. I don't know if you could talk about that?
COACH FISHER: Yeah, he's more outgoing. He's quieter at times. Carlos is a social butterfly. He's always talking to everybody and being around everybody. But they're both great young men. They are different. One's more outgoing than the other, definitely.
Q. The ten-year anniversary of the Devery Henderson catch at Kentucky is coming up?
COACH FISHER: I got you. The Bluegrass Miracle.
Q. What do you remember about that, and particularly the call? Was there any disagreement on the call going in?
COACH FISHER: No, there wasn't. We had practiced that play, dash right, 93 Berlin. I can remember it to today. The thing that was ironic on that is we were backed up inside our pass, hit a pass to Michael Clayton, hit a square and we had one time out left. Hit a 25-yard pass to Michael Clayton. He got on the ground, and we spread it out on the last play. It was almost an amazement. You saw the ball thrown. The tip happened, and when it hit and I was in the press box, and when it went up in the air, he said, oh, Lord, he's got a chance to hit it, and he did it. I mean, Devery could fly. What happened on the play, the receivers got intertwined and Michael switched places and got to be the jump ball guy, tipped and made an adjustment on the run. Devery got it and once he gets down field, it was gone. I sat there in amazement it was one of those ironic and iconic times in your career. You couldn't believe you just saw what happened. It was a great team, a great player, and great guys executed that play.
Q. Clayton was the original intended receiver?
COACH FISHER: Well, we're going to get a jump ball guy. They all got bumped off, and Clayton realized that. So he made the tip on the play, and then Devery got in behind and caught the tip on the long run. We'd do that because guys would reroute you as we go down field on that. As a play, we work that play constantly. It was something we've worked on in practice every Thursday forever and ever and ever, and it came through.
Q. Have you ever used that play in a game since?
COACH FISHER: Oh, yeah. I have since. Hopefully not too many because that's when you're behind a bunch when you get in that situation. But it's something we have in our arsenal and still do.
Q. Has it worked since those days? Has it worked for you at Florida State in a game for you?
COACH FISHER: No, in practice it has. We hit it in practice. We hit it the other day in practice, as a matter of fact. We'll keep working that situation.

The Avon Planning and Zoning Commission has approved an application for a pet funeral and cremation services facility, according to the Avon Patch.
The Patch reported that the Beloved Companions founder and managing partner applied for and was granted a special exception to move the business to 369 Main St., and are hopeful to open by this spring.
According to the Beloved Companion's website, the purpose of the facility is to "reduce the trauma that pet families endure whether their pet dies of natural causes or is euthanized."
All of the cremations a performed locally in Connecticut, according to the website, and if a pet is euthanized in a veterinarian's office, Beloved Companions will actually make arrangements with the office to transport the pet for cremation and/or funeral services.

text: It can be said every person in America is affected by DIVORCE. You don't have to go beyond yourself, your parents, kids, siblings, close friends, or co-workers to have been affected by it. Just as drunk driving had always occurred in great numbers until one mother said ENOUGH, divorce is occurring in overwhelming numbers and one father has finally said ENOUGH! Kids Against Divorce is not against divorce per say. Rather, it is against all of the reasons which lead a couple down the path of divorce, and moreover it is about embracing your responsibilities to your family. Divorce is a very sensitive subject. It is difficult to make concrete statements regarding the issue of divorce because it's extremely personal and emotionally driven. Every marriage has a combination of different dynamics, which can create large gray areas where divorce can seem justifiable. Truth be told, the only reason where divorce is truly justifiable is domestic violence. This criminal behavior will NEVER be tolerated. The solution to it all is not complicated – treat each other the way you want to be treated!

Hello Everybody,
is that possible to launch my application\ bring my application to the foreground with a key pressed (lets say * key) through mobile idle screen?
Hello Everybody,
is that possible to launch my application\ bring my application to the foreground with a key pressed (lets say * key) through mobile idle screen?
have you checked this ?
Thank you ,
Yes, i trying this one ,, but it did not worked.
Do you understood what i mean, i want my application to launch when i pressed * key through the idle screen..
Code:void CMyApplicationAppUi::HandleWsEventL( const TWsEvent& aEvent, CCoeControl* aDestination ) { if (aEvent.Type() == KAknUidValueEndKeyCloseEvent) { TApaTask myApp(iEikonEnv->WsSession()) ; myApp.SetWgId(CEikonEnv::Static()->RootWin().Identifier()) ; myApp.SendToBackground() ; } if(aEvent.Type() == EStdKeyNkpAsterisk) { TApaTask mytask(iEikonEnv->WsSession()); mytask.SetWgId(CEikonEnv::Static()->RootWin().Identifier()); mytask.BringToForeground(); } CEikAppUi::HandleWsEventL(aEvent,aDestination) ; }
Note: When i use the first one ,, which is sending the application to the background when pressing The red key(terminate call key) , my application was sent to the background successfully ,, but pressing the Asterisk key through the idle screen,, the application will never bring to the foreground.
Is there any solution for issue?
Thanks in advance.
That aEvent.Type() will never be "EStdKeyNkpAsterisk". Try to understand the example (for example you can simply test it without any modifications) and read the documentation.
You can bring your application to foreground with this code sample ( capture key + bring application ).
You can't launch it because if the application is not previously started could not be able to capture any keys...
If you want to start an application with a key you need a second application that capture the keys and then start the first one. ( I worked to something similar and I used this approach... )
Thank you all,
all i want to do is, after running my application then send it to the background ,, it is possible that i can press hash key from the idle screen (override the behavior of the hash key), so that it will bring my application to the foreground.
Hmm, revising your code snipet a slight notice: though you send your application to the background on the red-key event, your application also forwards this event to CEikAppUi, which then exits your application.
Put a "return;" after SendToBackground.
This is why you should use [CODE ] and [/CODE ] tags in the future: they preserve indentation thus enhance readability.
Thank you wizard for your quick reply,
on most Nokia mobile phones ,, when user press the hash key, user profile will switch to the silent mode,,
I want to override this behavior ,, so that it will run my application instead of switching to the silent mode....
Is that possible wizard,,
Thank you
The documentation saysMy guess would be that your request is going to be the most recent one. Just check the return value if it contains an error code.Originally Posted by SDK Help
Hello all,
Anybody can help me for my problem,
Your help will be greatly appreciated,
You can make an exe for key capturing and run this exe as server in background.
Then in that exe you can code for checking the "*" key if it is then open the application.
So thus you need to study...
1) console application
2) Run console/exe at start up
3) key capturing
4) open the application from exe
All these aspects are properly described in wiki.
You need to make relevant search for them.
Thank you Kavit,
I like reading and searching ,, so i will check this and let you know Kavit

Police identify body found in River Crane
Updated 5:40pm Thursday 19th September 2013 in News By Tom Ambrose, Reporter
The man who drowned in the River Crane in Twickenham has been formally identified as Adrian Joseph.
The 33-year-old from Park Close, Hounslow, was recovered from the water near Crane Park Island when police were called shortly after 11am on Monday.
His next of kin have been informed and the death is being treated as unexplained at this stage.
A postmortem examination at Kingston mortuary yesterday proved inconclusive.
Police now await the results from further toxicology tests.
Police confirmed earlier today that the cause of death was drowning.
Acting Detective Chief Inspector Clare Murray said: "We are trying to establish the last movements of Mr Joseph before he was found on Monday.
"Following previous enquiries we know he was seen on Friday at around 6pm in Cross Deep, Twickenham.
"It is thought he was wearing a hooded top and lycra training shorts."
Police are appealing for anyone who had seen or who had direct contact with Mr Joseph between September 13 and September 16 to get in touch on 0208 721 5932.
To remain anonymous, call 0800 555 111.

Not trying to get into an ethical battle, just wondering if its common to go sans bolts.
i've heard you can do it on gear, but based on my vague memory of that pitch, it'd be thin and spaced a bit. i doubt many folks bother with trying- the ease of the climb with the bolts and the long hike make the idea of lugging a big rack up there less than appealing.
Thanks john! I'm sure I will clip every bolt I see. Then (after dialing it in) if I have the cojones, try it on gear!
I did it about half and half on my first time on the route. Was sketching pretty hard back then on all the spinning, white rock hardware I saw when I was new to the area, figured I'd rather trust TCUs than the alternative. Bring a #3 if you're trying this, it's the crux piece, and protects the best rest on the pitch. You'll most likely give up the game on the last fifty feet or so, it's a sport climb and running up it skipping bolts with no other gear would seem pretty silly unless you're up for essentially soloing the route. What gear I got in I felt pretty good about, it was fun gumbying up the route dragging a "super strong Euro" who had to aid on most of the draws I clipped on that upper section. A lot of fun memories of that day, thought the second pitch was harder for me than the fifth (gym laps give retard strength), getting human faeces on the rope before making it onto the second pitch (classy spot to poo, Special Someone), learning that we were climbing on a chopped 70 9.1 while rapping (Euro smarts strike again, thanks "bro"), and some great rock and moves.

I am IMAX®, hear me ROAR! Watch snakes that slither and slide, oh my!
November 10, 2011 | Tag(s): 3D movie, All Snakes Day, Crafts for kids, Imax, Lions 3D, Zoo family fun
By: L'jeanne, Advertising Manager
Life in the wild is captivating. To get a glimpse of how animals live in the wild requires specially trained individuals to capture it. Many of us would love to go out and see animals in their natural habitats but this certainly wouldn't be the smartest thing to do – unless you're on a guided safari. To satisfy your curiosity, I urge you to head over to Entergy IMAX® Theatre to experience "Lions 3D: Roar Of The Kalahari". This film captures the true essence of lions in the wild and how they have to fight for their lives and protect their family. This movie is the true life version of the animated movie 'Lion King' and you will delight in the sounds and images of the animals featured in the film. It's a great movie the whole family will enjoy. And remember to pick-up some sweet treats at concessions. Once you're here, check out Audubon Aquarium of the Americas and head over to Audubon Insectarium for a full day of fun. Also happening this weekend is All Snakes Day at Audubon Zoo! Yes the day is here those slithering sliding snakes are going to be all over this Saturday and Sunday. Okay so I'm exaggerating! They won't be all over the zoo. We'll have a few snakes that our staff will be presenting so you can get up close to see how beautiful their bodies are. They aren't slimy at all! They will also do snake weighing. You'll be amazed at how much they weigh. And whatever concerns you had about snakes, just forget about 'em. Learn from our experts genuine information about their diet and life styles. Our zoo staff educators will be on hand all weekend to answer all and any questions you may have. They will also have cool snake bio-facts on hand and kids can make snake crafts. We've got a full weekend of interesting and educational events for your family to explore, so come out and see it all!
Info: ~ Now Showing @ Entergy IMAX®
~ Lions 3D – Roar of the Kalahari ~
~ 10am, 12pm, and 2pm (daily) ~
~ All Snakes Day @ Audubon Zoo ~
~Saturday & Sunday November 12th – 13th ~

Expanding Universe Question?

There is no existence outside the perceivable universe.
A great and crazy question, Omega. Also Saq, some wonderful stuff you posted there.
To me, the whole question kinda reminds me of the end of the TNG episode 'Remember Me' where Crusher has been caught in a shrinking universe and everyone she knows is disappearing. At the end of the episode the known universe is collapsing in on the Enterprise and hull breaches are starting. You think of it as this bubble that's closing in on the ship and eventually will close in 'til there's nothing left, but when Crusher asks the ship computer the cause of the hull breaches, the computer responds that it's caused by flaws in the ship's design. It doesn't conceive of the ship that was there before the shrinking universe began to 'erase' portions of the ship from existence so it perceives the ship is built wrong. To me that touches on Omega's question. Outside the known universe there is not even a void or even 'nothing'. But some of the multiverse theories and quantum foam theories Saquist mentioned take a different angle on it.
It's crazy mind-boggling stuff. I'm still trying to get past that the behavior and state of matter on a subatomic level is defined by our perception of it. That's crazy, but true.
I've been looking into this too, Livingston.
Over the weeks I've been seeing some incredible perceptions by physicist from Einstien, Guth, Hawking and others. There really might be a Unifying Force or equation forumula for why what we observe on the BIG Scale doesn't compute to the small scale. It may all be explained by the multiverse.
I personally am beginning to think that the multiverse is a construct of inter-phased dimensions that String Theory uses. I've noticed that Boze-Einstien Condensates (the Fifth Phase of Matter) move in linked quantities. They become frictionless the more HEAT you take out of them. (The more energy). They move and behave as one.
In quantas of matter (on the quantum level) particles can be in multiple places AT ONCE...untill you look for it and then it's forced to be in one location. I'm beginning to think that when we look at this level of space we're LITERALLY seeing into other dimensions wrapped around our own. And because we're in this dimension we SEE the particle that corresponds where the particle SHOULD be in reference to this dimension.
I think THAT is the combination of Both General /Quantum Relativity. In other words depending on your DIMENSION you will see the particles at a certain location at a certain spin. It's sort of profound. We maybe seeing other dimensions ALREADY. Reducing the energy of gases such as Bose-Einstein Condensates my be influences particles to interact with each other on a multi dimensional level....Like a larger scale quantum entanglement.

Saturn SL1 owners have reported 4 problems associated with electrical system (under the electrical system category).
#1 - Electrical System problem of the 2001 Saturn SL1
The vehicle having this issue was a 2001 Saturn Sl1. Sometimes my security light goes on-when that happens, in order to start car up I have to lock all of the doors, wait 20 minutes then start up the car. It now has 117000 miles on it and it makes a loud noise and shakes at anything over 60 miles an hour. It was Friday, Mar. 30, 2007 when this electrical system issue happened.
See all problems of the 2001 Saturn SL1.
#2 - Electrical System problem of the 2002 Saturn SL1
The vehicle is a 2002 Saturn Sl1. The vehicle identification number (VIN) is PLEASE FIL_. When brakes applied the brake light failed to come on, the brake light did not illuminated.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - New Hampshire State Police are working to fill 10 new positions authorized under the recently passed state budget.
The new troopers are expected to be on the road early next year.
The budget provides for a total of 343 troopers.
The troopers' union had advocated for more positions during the legislative session.
The Eagle-Tribune reports state police are engaged in data analysis to determine how best to deploy the troopers. Maj. Russell Conte said the new troopers will go where they will best serve the agency.

The Flint School District is spending $15,000 on advertising to help keep some of the more than $13.5 million in state funding the district projects it will lose over the next three years.
The Flint Journal reports the effort includes advertising on television, radio and in print media.
The effort comes after Flint closed four schools and restructured three others in an attempt to cut the district's $15.8 million deficit. As part of the effort, the district created a TV commercial to promote its new science, technology, engineering and math school.
Flint projects it will lose 1,812 students in the next three years. Without those students the district is expected to lose more than $13.5 million in per pupil funding.

I'm using Publisher 2013 to create assembly/dis-assembly instructions. After I get the animation how I like in Publisher, I use the Publish to Mobile command in order to view it on an iPad. On the iPad, I've noticed that when the animation zooms in on fasteners, it is sometimes too far away or too close (often ending up in the interior of some other part). There doesn't seem to be any predictability other than the first zoom-ins tend to be as I created them in Publisher. I'd like to know if anybody else is having this issue and/or if there is some setting that I'm overlooking.
Joyce Takeyasu
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi Joyce,
Thanks for your feedback. The Publisher desktop and Viewer are based on different graphic system, each system has its own model scene, so you will see different view for the same camera. It is hard to have these two with same scene, it is the limitation.
Irene Chen
Inventor Publisher QA
I got a tip from other Inventor Publisher users to create snapshots in Perspective instead of Orthogonal (right click on the View Cube to access these settings) when creating storybooks that will be published to mobile. This has solved the unpredictable zooming issues that I was experiencing.

Bob and Colleen Bonniol, projection designers and principals in MODE Studios, are also the creative consultants for the second annual Live Design Projection Master Classes to be held November 14 & 15, 2007 in conjunction with LDI2007 in Orlando, FL. They are leaders in the projection field, on the cutting edge of the image game, and are also participating in LDI's "Spend The Day With..." on Sunday, November 17, when a small group of attendees get to network with Bob and Colleen and take of tour of new technology on the show floor with them. With LDI just six weeks away, livedesignonline checks in with "The Bonniols" for an exclusive update on the world of projection today.
1. What's happening in terns of new trends, new techniques, new technologies?
Perhaps the most important thing happening is that the technologies on the market are shaking out and becoming more accessible. This accessibility is two fold. The popular media servers, projectors, and LED products are becoming cheaper by the moment, allowing designers who couldn't budget for that stuff new freedom to utilize it. The other accessibility is in the interfaces and control methodologies. Some of the more advanced functions, things like scenic mapping, pixel mapping, screen blending etc, are becoming much simpler to achieve. You don't have to be a mathematician or computer scientist to try that stuff anymore. Interfaces on the media servers are becoming more intuitive. As an industry we are benefiting from the technological race that the gaming business and personal computer manufacturers are engaged in. The raw horsepower of new off-the-shelf computers are putting extraordinary media manipulation capabilities in the hands of the 'common man' so to speak. This means that VJ's are out doing shows with complex media and signal path scenarios that even a couple of years ago would have demanded rigs costing five figures. Far more importantly, it is making the toolsets available to the educational sector.
Technologically, companies like Element Labs and Barco are making giant strides in research and production of fresh new stuff for designers to create new and unique things. Boring, but critical elements like rigging aspects and control distribution are getting slick and advanced. This is a major move forward. Certain products out there have looked great, but have proved completely untenable for applications like touring. This is changing profoundly.
2. What is the status of projection VS digital lighting?
Differentiation is becoming clearer here. We think we can confidently say that a new diversity in digital lights is going to happen in the very near term, now that the initial, unfortunate litigation phase is out of the way. Also, there are LED and projection products that are most appropriately called digital scenery at this point. Luminescent, textural, and structural. In the more classic application of projection design, incredibly powerful, bright, and quiet projectors are coming out. This is allowing designers more flexibility in where they can put units. It's no longer necessary to build enormous, ventilated structures to baffle projectors on a balcony rail or box boom for instance. Advances in optics are allowing projectors to have shorter throw distances and sharper, more beautiful imagery. And these tools are becoming more understandable to many LDs out there who are just now beginning to experiment with it. And young designers and students are grasping and using these tools without a second thought. They've grown up with X-Box and giant FX driven feature films. They fully expect to bring these advanced sensibilities to design.
3. What projects are you working on now and what are the challenges?
We've been working on the initial development stages of Julie Taymor's new Spiderman The Musical. The ambition to utilize new groundbreaking technologies on that show is great, and it's got us quite excited. The diversity of different parts of the business that a designer can move around in is exhilarating. In the last year we've designed a new opera, a major stadium rock tour, a country tour, a huge installation for Nokia at CES, and a whole bunch of smaller art, dance, and live music projects. We're also discussing some really exciting new projects that are happening at the regional theatre level. It's no longer the case that a designer is pigeon- holed into one sector. New technologies are absolutely enabling this.
4. How have LED projection surfaces changed the face of projection design?
As we discussed, LED has gone way beyond the simple application of image magnification, and entered a realm where they are being utilized as light sources, and as scenic structure. This blending of disciplines is leading to shows that are enormously cohesive in terms of color, texture, vibrancy, and excitement. The audience expectation is growing every minute, and we have the tools to answer those expectations.
5. What's exciting about the Live Design Projection Master Classes this year?
The word is out...The Live Design Projection Master Classes at LDI are really generating excitement now. We've got the world's best manufacturers, designers, and technicians sharing their expertise. There's no comparable experience for immediate and comprehensive exposure to the widest range of products and how to use them.

It's cold and wet now, but before you know it, it will be spring and the time of year when many people do home improvements. And when you find someone to paint your house or put on a new roof, they may seem like your best buddy at first. But if you haven't thoroughly researched what you're doing and put the deal in writing, you could be headed for trouble. If the crowd at this year's Home Show is any indication, lots of people in Southwest Louisiana plan to build or remodel in the coming months. Sharon Denson, who attended this weekend, went looking for someone to do work for her.
"Looking for homebuilders and I'm also looking for home repair," Denson said.
She discovered the Home Show is a good place to meet up with reputable, local companies.
"People that have helped me with blinds, doing shutters in my home, I have gotten a lot of help from people. Fencing," Denson said.
When looking for a contractor Carmen Million, president of the Better Business Bureau of Southwest Louisiana, said consumers planning work need to investigate.
"When you're thinking about having work done on your home, whether it's a small job or a large job, you definitely need to do investigation. You can contact the Better Business Bureau. You can go to our web site, and you can get a list of companies to consider. What we recommend is that you get more than one bid. No matter how big or how small the job is you need to get at least three bids," Million said.
First of all, those who go door to door to drum up work are illegal.
"Somebody knocks on your door and they're trying to sell you something or they're trying to do work on your home, The best thing to do is not open the door and call local law enforcement," Million said.
And she said consumers should get multiple written bids that spell out what the contractor will do and the cost.
"No matter how big or how small the job is, you need to get at least three bids. One of the reasons you get a bid is because it allows you to know if the fee you're being charged is fair. You should always ask the company for five or ten names of people they've actually done work for. You can contact those people and see how satisfied they were and if they had any problems did the company make an effort to resolve it," Million said.
And she said don't sign the bid because it could be considered a written contract to perform the work.
"Also never pay up front or in full until the job is completed. You also want to make sure you do not pay the contractor in full until you've verified all materials and all subcontractors have been paid and that eliminates the possibility of a lien being placed against your home," Million said.
As well, it's a good idea to confirm the state, city or parish licensing and check the contractor's record with the Better Business Bureau. Also, ask the contractor for references and confirm they have workers comp coverage.

All signs are negative for Brazilian billboards.
In 2006, the Brazilian city of Sao Paulo banned all billboards, neon signs and electronic panels as part of the "Clean City" law, and now it looks like Rio de Janeiro may be following suit. Together, the cities represent about 50 percent of total advertising spending in Brazil, although outdoor advertising is less than 1 percent of that amount.
The debate over outdoor advertising may spill from Brazilian borders, threatening a fast-growing, $30 billion global industry. In Argentina's capital city, the mayor of Buenos Aires has been researching legislation that would ban outdoor advertising.
At issue is the idea that billboards, many of which are illegal in Brazil, clutter the cityscape with visual pollution.
"Things that push back, restrict or restrain outdoor advertising are good," Robert Weissman, managing director of Commercial Alert tells Advertising Age. "They make the public landscape more enjoyable, less cluttered and essentially more public in nature."
However, experience hasn't necessarily shown that banning billboards can clean up a city—even as outdoor advertising companies are forced to shut their doors. In Sao Paulo, billboard advertising has dropped 90 percent since the ban went into place, says Marco Munoz, commercial director of Clear Channel, which owns billboard companies in Sao Paulo.
If Rio's proposed ban goes through, Advertising Age reports that 126 companies with more than 1,200 employees would be affected. Overall, as a number of Brazilian cities consider bans of their own, Clear Channel's Brazilian President Emilio Medina estimates that outdoor advertising has dropped by half across the country.
"People get lost in the city," Medina told Advertising Age. "Hospitals can't hang signs outside so people can see it from far away! Of course there were absurd panels, but with some control, things could have become more organized. Tourists don't find out about theater plays or shopping malls that are promoting big shows.... And has the city become really cleaner? No, the city remains dirty."
In the United States, billboards are already banned in Vermont, Maine, Hawaii and Alaska, and local legislators in Austin, Texas, and San Francisco have proposed bans at various points. But advertising experts in the United States don't believe a national ban would be possible in this country.
"There are very well-defined laws in the United States on capitalism and on small business about what a government can and can't do in terms of taking property and business," says Stephen Freitas, chief marketing officer of the Outdoor Advertising Association of America. "I don't think it's applicable."
