The Bibb County Board of Elections says Al Tillman was following the letter of the law when he qualified to run for District 9, but Macon city council member Henry Gibson was not satisfied with that answer. He is still fight to get that changed, less than two weeks before Election Day and after some voters have already cast their ballots during early elections.
Gibson voiced concern when Tillman moved from District 8 in Macon-Bibb County to District 9 with the sole purpose of running against James Timley.
Gibson protested to the Bibb County Board of Elections via letter. They ruled that Tillman followed the letter of the law when he move from his family's home on Robin Hood Road in District 8 to a small apartment on Bloomfield Road, but Gibson says he doesn't want a that kind of candidate representing him. "He actually denounced his family life with kids, just to run for office," he said.
Gibson appealed the decision, landing both him and Tillman before Judge Steve Boswell in a Bibb County Superior courtroom.
Tillman says the appeal is a waste of tax dollars. "I think our community needs to say a prayer for Mr. Gibson and my opponent Mr. Timley," said Tillman. "They wasted a lot of tax payer's time and money."
Gibson says he is fighting because Tillman's actions are wrong. "He's a manipulator he's manipulating the law. I know Mr. Tillman. I have known him for years. He's a joke," she said.
Despite Gibson's thoughts, Tillman believes his the right man for the job. "We can stop the end of all these shenanigans," said Gibson. "I think the outcome will be in our favor. The community is in our favor."
"I disagree with him saying that people all in the community support him. I haven't heard that," said Gibson.
Judge Boswell requested all three lawyers submit their concerns in writing by Monday, the same day he hopes to make a decision

Dillon Gee got off to a fantastic start this year in what is technically his rookie season. After making a couple of spot starts and an unsuccessful stint in the bullpen, Gee rattled off five solid outings between May 19th and June 10th, in which he posted a 2.02 ERA while allowing just 23 hits in 35.2 innings with 22 strikeouts against seven walks. There was even talk of Gee as a Rookie of the Year candidate. But then things started to turn south, and with some big name pitching prospects on the way, Gee's future in the rotation might not be so secure.
Not every outing of Gee's since June 10th has been poor, but he hasn't found the same type of consistency that he had going earlier this season. Since June 15th, Gee is the owner of a 5.63 ERA and 1.3 K/BB in 76.2 innings. Overall, Gee has seen his ERA rise to 4.48 (4.80 FIP, 4.34 SIERA), his WHIP to 1.320 and his K/BB drop to 1.62, while also leading the league in hit batsmen with 13. The pitcher who seemed like he could do no wrong has come falling back down to Earth.
The most unsettling stat relating to Gee's recent struggles are the walks. Not overpowering (his heater averages just a tick below 90 mph), Gee has to rely on control and movement in order to get outs. After demonstrating great control early on, Gee is now walking 3.9 batters per nine innings, which is unacceptable for a pitcher with such a low strikeout rate (6.3 K/9). To put things in perspective, Oliver Perez walked 3.7 batters per nine innings in 2004, but had a K/9 of 11.0. Even in Ollie's '07 season with the Mets, which was arguably his best, he walked four batters per nine, but posted a K/9 of 8.8. Gee allows too many balls in play to hurt himself with a high walk total.
Actually, outside of his stint earlier this season, Gee hasn't exhibited great control since arriving in the Majors. During his September call-up last season, Gee walked 15 batters in 33 innings. In the minors, however, Gee was a stickler with his command, posting a BB/9 of 2.0 across 437.2 innings, leading to K/BB of 4.05. Of course, Major League hitters are more disciplined than those in the minors, but the rise in walk rate is too high for that to be the sole factor. Gee needs to get back to controlling the strike zone. His stuff has actually been decent: in terms of runs above average per 100 pitches, his fastball is worth 0.62 runs, his change (thrown 25.4% of the time) is worth 0.46 runs, and his new cutter (thrown 6.4% of the time) is worth 0.43 runs). Gee still needs to improve his curve (thrown 10.7% of the time and worth -2.10 runs below average per 100 pitches) because he won't last too long as a starter without a solid breaking pitch.
Gee has the stuff to make a big league rotation, but beyond 2012 (and even then) his future is a little murky. Johan Santana, Jon Niese and R.A. Dickey are locks for next year, but the other two spots are unclear. Gee's competition will likely be some combination Mike Pelfrey, Chris Capuano and Chris Schwinden (and possibly others), if the first two are retained through arbitration and free agency, respectfully. However, Gee's real test will be when guys like Matt Harvey, Jeurys Familia, Jenrry Mejia and Zack Wheeler get closer to the Majors. These guys are all power arms with fairly high ceilings, and at least one of them could turn into an ace. Not that they will necessarily all pan out in the way the Mets hope, but for Gee to stick around for the long term, he needs to rediscover his command and be the control pitcher that he can be.

There was a protest by visual effects artists going on outside this year's Academy Awards ceremony. But what were they demonstrating about and do they have a point?

"I'm a Latex guy, don't take that the wrong way" .
Too late, my mind is now soiled forever. If only i could get that image digitally removed !!!
Er YES!
I could not agree more that VFX artists are indeed worthy of being paid well for their work.
What are Life of Pi and Marvel Avengers without the best VFX artists in the business?
They are just ideas in a filmmaker's brain that he can't imagine how the hell he's going to put on screen.
As a filmmaker who works with VFX artists I cannot express enough how important a good VFX team is and let's not forget all the planning work that goes into effect before the computer is even switched on!!!!!
Let's see how directors, editors, composers and more importantly executive producers react when we ask for more work out of them: quicker and cheaper?
This really got me annoyed because it's time a union was formed now so this growing division of filmmaking can be protected like the others are.
It also got me thinking how many films are made where the stars of the movie are in fact the VFX team:
King Kong - Lord of the Rings Trilogy - Inception and yes indeed: Transformers!
There is a certain poetry and beauty in seeing technical craft come together on screen. It's completely cinematic even in the absence of actors so while the story and characters are just awful in Transformers - I just sit back and admire the excellence of the artistry that put together all those moving parts in such a symphonic way.
Remember that Honda advert: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqmyHX1orTA
I think VFX is under appreciated critically too!
What? I thought everything was done on computers these days because it was cheaper than doing it for real? So, now visual effects artists are going the same way as every other artist in the world, to the point where the executives will happily outsource their work to slaves who are happy to do it for less.
Did Life of Pi lose money at the box office? Will it go on to do well on Blu-Ray and DVD for many years to come? Yes to both. The studios money is a long term investment, no matter how much they all talk about opening weekends, these movies bring money in for years. Everyone uniquely skilled artist or tradesmen that works on a movie is contributing to its lasting success but is still only paid for the time they put in. A shame that Ang Lee and every other moviemaker doesn't make more effort to recognise this.
Hi Mark. I'm a uk based VFX artist and these problems are worldwide, not just in the US. My thoughts on this having worked at several studios is actually the fault lies largely with the 90% of my fellow VFX artist who work ridiculous overtime and weekends for free without batting an eyelid. I for one have always refused and it does not always go down well with supervisors. I think the artists working all that free overtime makes the studios push the timescales and budgets to breaking point, therefore the big film companies know they can push the studios a bit more with every new project. The result is artists who think they have to do stupid hours just to keep their job, yet are laid off as they have pushed all the profit margins out of the studio they work for. Because hey "if I don't do the overtime, that other guy will and I will be out the door"...
Sadly this sort of thing is not just reserved for the VFX part of our industry. I work in offline post production and the corners that are cut and deals that are done to save money is just plane scary. Worst of all it's the bigger productions that will open their wallets the least. Often companies will do the really big prestige jobs at a loss so that they can use the name of the production on their CV which in turn brings in better paid work. A friend of mine recently commented that the average wage for a spark or lighting technician hasn't gone up in the last ten years. I personally had to work for free for the first year of my career and we are forever seeing jobs where one person is doing the work and hours of two at least. At least in the states the unions have more power than they do here so not the whole industry suffers only the VFX guys and I really do feel for them as I know how they feel. In summation it appears Hollywood and the film industry as a whole is devaluing the skilled labour that's required to make these massive budgeted high return projects.
I'm not in any way involved in the music industry so I'm wading in here with a good deal of ignorance.
But hypothetically if a visual effects artists from India came on here and said "I'm an artist too, I've dreamed of working in films my whole life, what's wrong with me and my company bidding for Hollywood contracts. What special right does California or anywhere else have to VFX work?"
What would you say to them?
I am a UK based visual effects worker that has also worked in LA for a number of years and at some of the studios filing for bankruptcy.I think this gives me an different perspective on all of this having lived and worked in both locations.
Things are definitely bad in the UK in some of the same ways and a lot of different ways. The working hours are worse in the US, but those hours are paid for whereas in the UK the hours are less but you work for free and productions feel that they are entitled to these extra hours to get the project done.
Wages are better in the US and the cost of living is lower, but contracts are shorter and work can be more sporadic. In the US you usually are not provided with any sort of benefits like sick pay/vacation days/healthcare/ retirement options. Although I do believe the UK is becoming a lot more like the US with shorter project hires, more hours and more sporadic work.
This is definitely a global issues we are facing and we are definitely at a breaking point when the films we work on make billions and we give up so much of our lives to work on it only to be in the unemployment line.
Someone off the street can not do this job. It's so much more complicated than I think Hollywood knows or gives credit to. There is a definite craft here and it takes hours and hours of work to bring something like the Life of Pi to the screen by hundreds of artists.
I personally have no problem with this. We already have Indian workers and Chinese workers and a variety of other workers from the global sphere. If anyone from any background works hard enough to do what they love, they should be rewarded and paid for their efforts. I believe they should be paid based on the cost of living in their location. It would be the most fair way. I would also like to say that a lot of of the Indian workers I have talked to want to emigrate to the US or the Uk, and even more Bollywood is HUGE and can easily help to make the local industry in say India thrive.
We still need a global commitment from all artists, India included for fair practices.
An excellent video; many thanks for summing the issues up so well and bringing it to a wider audience. I've been working in the VFX industry in London for over five years now, and I thought that was an excellent and very even-handed summary of the current situation (which is indeed just as you described, although not limited just to California). A few small thoughts I'd like to add:
- An unnamed studio producer was quoted in Variety a few years ago as saying "If I don't put a visual effects shop out of business (on my movie), I'm not doing my job". I think this probably speaks for itself.
- My experience generally has been that VFX producers are very scared of pushing back on the Hollywood studios or director whenever they cause problems, and not without reason. A rather well known Mexican director recently really put us through the wringer on a certain effects-heavy sci-fi film due out later this year, and a friend of mine calculated he'd had to work well over 120 hours of unpaid overtime on one shot simply because the director couldn't make up his mind what he wanted (and this was far from an isolated case). This friend of mine raised it with his VFX producers and suggested they stand up to the director and say he was being unreasonable. The producers replied that they'd already tried several times, and whenever they did confront the director, he took it very personally and would start being especially difficult about other shots "just to show who was boss". Between the fear of losing other projects from the studio and the fear of making this director even more difficult to work with, they simply didn't dare press the matter further, and the long hours continued (unpaid of course).
- Some in this thread have been characterising this as just another story of jobs disappearing to India/China. This doesn't stand up to scrutiny - R&H, Digital Domain and Dreamworks all have/had facilities in India, and all have either been declared bankrupt or have made large layoffs in the last few months - clearly that supposed cheap labour didn't help them much! The story here is rather one of governmental subsidies and of a very unbalanced relationship between Hollywood and VFX companies, where Hollywood can demand whatever they please and reap the rewards, whilst VFX artists pay the price with excessive overtime, job instability and low wages.
Much as I hate to say it, unless the relationship between the studios and the VFX houses is drastically rebalanced, the VFX industry will simply be run into the ground. I count myself as very lucky to have a creative job that I enjoy, but when it comes at the expense of seeing friends and family, you can't help but wonder how long you can keep it up and whether it's really worth it all in the end.
Thanks again Mark (and agreed on the latex!),
Well that's Life of PI poisoned for me. I've seen the letter Ang Lee write and the reply and I felt so angry at Ang basically saying you should work for peanuts. Does HE deserve his probably hugely inflated wage as a director?
Could the smug Marvel Studios actors do anything heroic without the brilliant VFX teams? No!
Having seen the God awful Die Hard 5 (I refuse to call it anything other) and its substandard Catwoman style CGI work, you ultimately get what you pay for.
I think having great VFX in a film will just be the purview of the likes of James Cameron (who has his background in this field) and Spielberg and George Lucas (who built his own VFX companies).
However I'm not confident that Disney won't downsize ILM or any of Lucasfilms other subsidiary companies.
This is a good debate - and I don't think I have a fully formed opinion yet. However, I will say this:
There is a difference between how an artist works and how a business operates. The VFX artists may be the creatives behind the wonders - but they are not operating independently in their own sphere. They are being paid for deliverables within an agreed timeframe.
As a consequence the work falls into a basic free market debate. If someone can supply the same product for a cheaper price - its not the fault of the person or company purchasing the service to go to the lowest bidder IF the product is identical - if the product is sub standard at a cheaper price then thats the movie studio and directors call.
That said, the VFX artists need better union representation to reflect their needs and views - it isnt fair that other VFX companies in other countries are subsidised - this skews the free market debate.
I say all this as someone who comes from an Artistic background and now working for a big corporate company.
Supply and demand rules - quality is still quality. You get what you pay for in the time allotted. If we start getting sub standard "cheaper" effects then we'll soon stop paying to see the films.
I am a fairly recent BSc graduate in Digital SFX and completely agree. Digital work is seen by studios as a shortcut to maximise their profits by producing vacuous spectacle. Maybe there was a time when SFX (physical or digital) was the "cherry in the middle" and even admired for both ingenuity and creativity but now it's the cheapest way to replace what was once plot or character development in a film. (Does anyone remember how Walt Disney claimed award after award while the actual animators got little or no recognition?)
We should never forget that 99% of movies are about making money not art. And for that reason directors, Mr Lee, should work more cheaply...
Speaking as a viewer, rather than someone involved in the industry, a lot of VFX are really, really, bad, especially in action movies. I think it's time for the viewers to demand quality control and tell movie studios that the punters are not going to tolerate crappy CGI. Unfortunately that's probably not going to happen.
TheHalfWit made an excellent point. When Jason Alexander (George in Seinfield) demanded 1 million per episode on Seinfeld he was asked to explain "do you really deserve to be paid 1 million a week" and he replied along the lines that, no, no-one deserved to be paid 1 million dollars a week, maybe teachers and firefighters, but that Seinfeld had made the network 600 million dollars and that the distribution rights had been sold for 2 billion dollars and that that money was out there and the real question was what cut of that he deserved as an actor who contributed to making all that money.
And he's damn right. Seinfeld wouldn't have made the same money without his contribution so he deserves his cut. It's the same with the VFX. Time for the VFX to unionise and develop industry standards.
I'm afraid I'm finding it hard to feel sorry for these guys. Firstly, isn't it like this for every industry, indeed every job? Everybody in the world with any sort of skilled work worries about the carpet being whipped out from under them by the next guy who'll do it a bit quicker, a bit cheaper, and with less regulation, right? Welcome to the real world, guys!
For another thing, the United States is famed for its economic patriotism and protectionist policies. Buy American, right? They're complaining about subsidies being offered in other /states/ - other parts of their own country - well, move house then! I'm sure you'll manage to sit in front of your computer all day without the California sun beaming through your windows. Perhaps it's even a good thing to do decentralise the American film industry and give other places a chance to compete with Hollywood after a 100 year monopoly.
And in a more abstract way, isn't the essence of VFX that it's a quicker, easier, cheaper way of doing difficult, dangerous things? Most people miss the days of physical effects, and most people admit that VFX tend towards less creativity (in visual problem-solving), rather than more. In a way, VFX artists complaining about outsourcing is like fast food restaurants and complaining about people getting fat.
I so much appreciate what you've offered to us about the night of the Oscars and "Life of Pi" in particular. I am now (finally) prompted to buy your recent book, too.
I've known of several young people (men) going from New York to promising jobs doing digital effects in Hollywood. Because I was at USC in the fifties, and at first wanting to work in the Hollywood industry, I've had an attitude, perspective, philosophy...which leaves me now thinking how yes, sadly, this has been in the cards all along.
I do think movies were "better" when the people who made them, those who ran the studios, did not believe every picture had to make millions upon millions, and over the first weekend, to boot. What a mess there is today, and so little to offer audiences but marketing gloss.
Mark check this good explanation from a VFX artist: http://technicallyartistic.net/?p=578
As Camus says in The Rebel ,the single most important step in two hundred years ,that improved the lives of the majority of the people ,is trade unionism.Watch the factory scene in les Mis to prove the point. America has a very vicious form of capitalism ,as Michael Moore has beautifully demonstrated.Employers will always want more work for less money.
I feel your pain. It is a real issue and one that, I'm resigned to thinking, will likely become much worse as time and technologies march on.
I feel I havent much new stuff to add to this thread. I am a big supporter of the vfx guys and its a shame we are seeing this at this time. Yes it happens in a lot of industries but I certainly feel stronger for the entertainment industry as it gives us all so much pleasure it deserves our recognition.
I have worked in art departments and feel a similar situation occuring at a lower level. A lot of people compete to the point they are fighting for scraps and underselling themselves. My strongest sense of injustice is for these vfx workers to be doing the hard work with little to no incentive/compensation while at the top end of the food chain the big wigs get to profit from films generating over a billion worldwide. Spread the wealth to those who earnt it. Show some respect
It's a combination of on going issues, some of which have plagued the wider post production industry, but you are right on the money regarding subsidies. As for working all the hours in a day (and then some), let me just confirm here and now that, for better or worse, has nearly always been the case in my 14 years in post.
PS Your family will almost always understand. Your partner/wife? ultimately not so much.

Appeals/Motions to Reconsider
What is an Appeal?
An appeal is a request to a higher court to review the decision or order of a lower court in the hope that the higher court will reverse that decision. In bankruptcy, there are two higher courts: The Bankruptcy Appellate Panel in Boston, Massachusetts and the U.S. District Court, located in Providence Rhode Island. Typically, appeals are heard by either of these two Courts. You must file a Notice of Appeal, along with an Appellant Election Form (R.I. Bankr. Form S). A third option is to file a Petition Requesting a Direct Appeal to the First Circuit Court of Appeals under 28 U.S.C. §158(d)(2).
When you file an appeal, you are now called the "Appellant". The party against whom the appeal is filed is called the APPELLEE.
How long do I have to file an appeal?
If an appeal is filed, it must be done within 14 days after the entry of the Bankruptcy Court order to be appealed. All orders contain an "Entered on docket" date so your appeal must be filed no later than 14days after that date. You may file a motion with the court, requesting an extension of time to file an appeal, but that motion must be filed no later than 14 days after the entry of the order being appealed.
Does it matter which court I choose?
No, but each court has its own set of rules regarding the material that they require on which to base their decision. To review these rules, click on the following links: US District Court Rules, or BAP Rules, or First Circuit Court of Appeals.
Where are these courts located?
The address for the District Court is:
U.S. District Court for the District of RI
One Exchange Terrace
Providence RI 02903
(401) 752-7200
The address for the BAP is:
U.S. Bankruptcy Appellate Panel for the First Circuit
John W. McCormack Post Office and Court House
5 Post Office Square, Suite 910
Boston, MA 02109-3945
(617) 748-9650
The address for the 1st Circuit is:
John Joseph Moakley U.S. Courthouse
One Courthouse Way
Boston, MA 02210
(617) 748-9057
Does it cost anything to file an appeal?
Yes, there is a fee to file an appeal with the U.S. District Court or Bankruptcy Appellate Panel (BAP), or a direct appeal to the First Circuit Court. A debtor may not pay using a personal check or a credit card. Cash, or a money order made payable to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court is required. This will not be refunded if you lose the appeal. For the current fee to file an appeal click the Court Fees link located under the Resources topic located in the menu bar on the left of this page.
What paperwork is required?
You will need to file a Notice of Appeal and an Appellate Election Form, or a Petition Requesting a Direct Appeal. When completing the Notice of Appeal form, you must identify the case name, case number, the party filing the appeal (the appellant), and the Bankruptcy Court Order being appealed. You must also name the other parties in the case, along with their attorneys, who will have an interest in the appeal.
When completing the Appellate Election Form, you must choose which court you would like to hear the appeal: The Bankruptcy Appellate Panel (BAP) or the U.S. District Court.
What happens next?
Fourteen days after an appeal is filed, the appellant is required to file a Designation of Record and a Statement of Issues on Appeal. A Designation of Record is a numbered list of all of the documents in the bankruptcy case that the appellant would like the higher court to review in order to make their decision. In addition to the numbered list, the appellant is required to provide copies of those documents named. A Statement of Issues on Appeal is a list of the issues of law that the appellant would like the higher court to consider.
The Designation of Record can also include, but not require, a copy of a Transcript of a hearing held before the Bankruptcy Judge. In order to obtain a transcript for a designation, you must contact the Clerk's Office (401.626.3100) and ask to speak to one of our Court Recorders for purposes of ordering a transcript. There is a separate fee for the transcript and this will have to be paid to a transcription service. The Court Recorder will give you an estimate of the cost, which is based on the length of the hearing.
If you have chosen the U.S. District Court as the appeals court, your Designation of Record must be tabbed in reverse chronological order and must be filed with the Bankruptcy Court Clerk, who will later forward it to the District Court.
If you have chosen the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel (BAP), your Designation of Record must not only be filed with the Bankruptcy Court Clerk, but 2 copies must be also be filed with the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel at the above address.
Again, the Designation of Record and Statement of Issues on Appeal must be filed within 14 days of the appeal. Failure to do so may result in the DISMISSAL of the appeal.
What happens after my appeal has gone to the higher court?
You will receive a notice from that court indicating that they have received the appeal and have assigned a new case number. If the higher court is the District Court, the new case number will have the designation C.A. before the number. If you had chosen the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel, the new case number will have the designation BAP before the number. If you file a direct appeal, the Court of appeals may grant the request or deny the request. If denied, the appeal will be heard by either the US District Court or the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel.
The higher court may issue notices for hearings or a schedule for filing briefs. These will be mailed by them directly to you and any other party identified in the appeal.
After all briefs are filed and all hearings have been concluded, the higher court will issue its Opinion that may do one or more of the following: Affirm the order of the Bankruptcy Court; Reverse the order of the Bankruptcy Court or; Remand (send back) the matter to the Bankruptcy Court for re-hearing.

Breaking Bad Fans: This is The Funniest Thing You Will Ever See! [VIDEO]
Missing Breaking Bad and need a laugh? You've come to the right place, b**ch!
Missing Breaking Bad and need a laugh? You've come to the right place, b**ch!
Saturday is October 4th or 10-4 Day. How can you say or hear 10-4 without thinking of Smokey & The Bandit and that iconic black Trans Am? I've been a long time fan of the Firebird over the Camaro and have owned several T/A's over the years
Last Spring, I planted a lot of Perennials that I had never had before, knowing that I would have to dig them up in Fall.
I've never had to do that before, but I just couldn't resist some of the flowers that I had been admiring for years
I spend every waking moment building haunted houses (Terror Behind the Screen starts Oct. 3!) so people call me all the time for advice. Here's how to make tombstones for the front yard:
I'm not sure why they ever came out with anything more than original Oreo perfection. And with everything going "pumpkin flavored" lately, let's see how awesome or not this idea really is!
I always love to carve a pumpkin and roast the pumpkin seeds for a nice salty snack!
There are lots of yummy recipes to take advantage of the fall harvest of pumpkins! Of course now days, it's easiest to just buy the pumpkin in a can to use in your favorite recipes, but years ago, I used the actual meat of the pumpkin when I made pumpkin dishes and it works great! So have fun! I make a really good pumpkin cake roll..that is awesome for Thanksgiving or even Christmas! It's filled with cream cheese and nuts! Yum! It's 3rd I think on the list. So check it out, you'll love it!
Car insurance ads have only increased and will continue to. Good for us...competition lowers our rates a little. So let's go back to what started it all in the 'funniest insurance ad' department...the Geico Cavemen
I smile when I'm in Casa Mia because I love that Italian restaurant, too! How times change. It's a trippy feeling.
Come by the Tri-Cities Cancer Center tonight for the kick-off of the Breast Cancer Awareness Month! The theme this year is "Make pink just another color"!
The countdown to Halloween has started! If you need help coming up with a costume this year, why not conspire with your significant other to pull off a couples costume? Here are a few ideas to get you started:
The largest (by far), scariest (with professional actors), most high-tech (with 3-D glasses and realistic horror smells) haunted attraction is opening THIS FRIDAY in Pasco!

A Letter to my fans : LOVE THY BROTHER #themixtape #preludetofreedom http://www.datpiff.com/DJ_Babey_Drew_Lem_Payne_Chrisette_Michele_Love.m166759.html
Dear my beloved American Friend,
I've been blessed with some of the most beautiful fans on the planet. You guys have sold out my shows around the country and even the world. You have waved your hands to "Blame it on Me" and tweeted me into oblivion. You've sent love letters to me on Myspace, sent flowers back-stage, we've cut our hair together. You've called into the radio to speak love and encouragement and I am greatful.
You've given me awards, watched me win a Grammy,
And I couldn't ask for a more gracious group of lovers and peace makers.
I want to give you something back. These are a few songs my brother and I took two days to put together. Its not an album, ofcourse, but it's a special effort to show you we love and appreciate you. We laugh, we beat box, we harmonize, we rap, and if you follow me on twitter, you saw the videos of us dancing.
Free of charge and with no obligation, I offer you a pre-lude to my album LET FREEDOM REIGN which you can find on November 30th and even pre-order now on itunes and Amazon.
This is for the arm that wraps around your shoulder when you need to be heard. This is for the hand that pats your back when you need to be healed. This mixtape is for the red white and blue sister or brother that stands next to you on the journey to your dreams. I introduce to you my biggest fan Lem Payne of whom I am the biggest fan. This is our offering to you "LOVE THY BROTHER".
As I love my natural brother I pray we each continue to love our American brothers and sisters as you have loved me. Enjoy the prelude to LET FREEDOM REIGN – I give you, "LOVE THY BROTHER" featuring @LemPayne. Mixed by DJ Babey Drew.
With love,
Chrisette Michele

Otres Market
Come for the music
What we say:
Concealed down a back road behind Otres Beach One, you'll find the new Otres Market happening every Saturday. More a chilled out party where you can find a few odds and ends than a full-on market, you'll still unearth here backpacker essentials such as fire sticks, books, bracelets, necklaces, any variety of body decorations, sun dresses and even tattoo artists.
With a real chilled-out vibe, it's the perfect place to unwind after a long day sunning at one the many fine beaches in Sihanoukville. Expect to find the place jam packed by 20:30 with people keen to see the live music put on by travelling musicians mixed with local favourites, and sometimes well known bands.
On our last visit, as the sun was setting, the first musician took the stage and played a mesmerising acoustic set that really set the mood. The night progressed through a couple of acoustic guitar players, a piano player, and then at around 21:00 a full band took the stage and really livened the place up. Playing a mixture of American classics revamped into an almost swing-style country rock, they got the crowd off their feet and dancing. Around 23:00 a full seven-piece brass band took the stage and rocked the place out with a mixture of ska, dub and orchestra-style horn solos. It's the only place in Sihanoukville that puts on what feels like a real concert; it's a welcome change from the usual beachside DJ parties.
The stage and bar are set into a huge wooden building known as The Barn. They also have a large kitchen serving a number of dishes like amok (US$4) and other Cambodian favourites. Around The Barn are rows of little bamboo huts; on one side crafts are sold while the other side has food vendors with everything from pizza ($2.50 per slice) to dumplings ($4 for four), crepes and space cookies ($1-$5). Businesses at the market are foreigner-run, so the food can be a little pricey, but it's worth coming just to enjoy the euphoric atmosphere of the party.
Whether you're a social butterfly or not, it's easy to find yourself involved in entertaining conversations with many colourful characters. The tranquil, friendly ambiance of the place ensures that people are open to meeting and talking so don't worry about heading out there alone, as you'll soon find yourself surrounded by new friends.
More detailsBehind Otres Beach One
Opening Hours: Saturdays during dry season, 17:00-late
How to get there: Expect a little trouble finding the right road as signage is limited; the easiest thing to do is just take a tuk tuk there are back.
Brett spends his time relaxing on the beach while sipping on a mojito or exploring Cambodia and Laos looking for strange and unusual things.

Let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us. - Psalm 90:17
Only 2% of all women think of themselves as beautiful. The Bible tells us that our Lord has made each of us 100% inwardly beautiful in Jesus.
Sometimes when we talk about the Sabbath, we speak of "keeping" it and of "obeying" the Sabbath commandment. These are good biblical terms, and they're certainly appropriate, but all too often they are terribly abused. Keeping the Sabbath is not something we do to earn God's favor and a mansion in heaven by and by.
The Sabbath is a gift of grace, wholly undeserved and given freely to all. God means it to bring with it the joy of our rescue from sin and pain. Sabbath keeping is our response to God for that grace

There is a story making the rounds this morning that after the Browns' made the trade to get up to number 22 with the second pick in the first round, General Manager Ray Farmer selected quarterback Teddy Bridgewater.
As per Espn Cleveland's Tony Grossi, a source told him that the card prepared to hand to Commissioner Roger Goodell at the
podium for the official announcement originally had Teddy Bridgewater's name on it. Then with 10 seconds to go, a new card replaced it with the name of Johnny Manziel, as a result of owner Jimmy Haslam's order.
When contacting the Brown's this is what they had to say about the report. "That is not true," said Zak Gilbert, Browns spokesman. "I was in the draft room. That didn't happen."
When a text was sent to Haslam for comment it was deferred to Gilbert.
General Manager Ray Farmer has insisted to reporters that these rumors were just not the case. "I can tell you with 100 percent certainty that Jimmy Haslam at no point demanded, requested or tried to influence the process in any way. He definitely asked questions. He'll definitely give his opinion of what he thinks and all of those things are fine, but at the end of the day he trusted the football staff to make the decisions that we thought were the right decisions for this football team."
It was disclosed last week that the $100,000 analytics study commissioned by former Browns' CEO Joe Banner had found Teddy Bridgewater, as the draft prospect with the most chance to succeed in the NFL.
We will probably never know if this story holds water, however, it brings to light some interesting scenarios.
Was Brown's owner Jimmy Haslam in the draft room pulling the trump card on general manager Ray Farmer, in a very Jerry Jones-esque kind of way?
Or is this yet another fabricated story within the media to drum up a story where there isn't one?
We here at Dawg Pound Daily would love to know your thought's on this breaking story.
Please take part in the poll below and let us know what you're thinking.

The New Language of Medicine: Part I
When Lisa Duhl was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1982, it seemed she had two treatment options. She could have a masectomy and undergo chemotherapy, or she could give alternative medicine a try.
Instead, the then 36-year-old Berkeley resident decided on a course of treatment that was quite unusual for the day: She decided to do both.
And now, seventeen years later, she's still free of cancer and hasn't had a recurrence.
Today, many people are finding that a combination of conventional and alternative therapies is the best bet for fighting diseases such as cancer, heart disease and other serious medical conditions. It's a new brand of medicine: Integrative medicine.
Ahead of Her Time
At the time that Duhl learned of her cancer, advocates of conventional and alternative medicine were at odds with each other, leading many people to believe they had to choose between the two kinds of medicine.
Duhl didn't see the situation that way. Her life was on the line, and she was willing to try any and every approach to stay alive. She decided to combine elements of both conventional and alternative medicine into a treatment plan that best addressed her physical, mental and emotional needs.
"I felt a lot of pressure... to use alternatives instead of conventional medicine," recalls Duhl, who just completed her doctorate in psychology. "People said chemotherapy would kill me, and that if I didn't do alternative medicine, I'd die.
"I told them I had a ten-year-old daughter who wouldn't forgive me if I didn't do everything I could to save my life."
Duhl's treatment regimen included visualization, the use of mental imagery to stimulate healing responses in the body. She practiced a Chinese form of meditation called chi kung and relied on acupuncture to reduce the nausea caused by chemotherapy. She also worked with a Native American medicine woman and several spiritual healers.
The Cheering Section
Fortunately, Duhl had the support of her husband, who was no stranger to integrative medicine. As a professor in the University of California, Berkeley's School of Public Health, Dr. Len Duhl had always encouraged his medical students to open their minds to the world of unconventional health practices and to integrate them into a more complete approach to healing.
"We depended upon the best and most advanced chemotherapy protocols available," he said. "We also found that while conventional medicine was important and excellent, it ignored certain issues that were important.
"The alternative practitioners supplemented Lisa's treatment, and as a team they were formidable."
Redefining Medicine
This formidable combination of conventional and alternative medicine is fast gaining mainstream acceptance. In fact, insurance companies and HMOs now provide coverage for acupuncture, massage and other treatments that were considered "unconventional" when Lisa Duhl was diagnosed with breast cancer.

The NIRCam team is currently supporting NIRCam operations as part of the full Integrated Science Instrument Module (ISIM) as it undergoes the Cryo-Vacuum Test 2 (CV2) at Goddard Space Flight Center. The test began in June 2014 and is expected to continue into September. NIRCam has seen "first light" in both the short and long wavelength channels under cryogenic vacuum conditions much like the space environment in which the JWST instruments will operate. All instrument performance is as expected.
2014 May 07
NIRCam will undergo a full suite of testing during Cryo-Vacuum Test 2 (CV2) at Goddard Space Flight Center during Summer 2014. These tests are done in cryogenic and vacuum conditions, much like the space environment in which the telescope will operate.

Definition: Frequent fliers invariably experience turbulence, differential air motions that shake the aircraft and its passengers.
Size: Turbulence that affects aircraft occurs on scales of tens to hundreds of meters.
Duration: Though individual bumps last about a second, the eddies in the air flow that cause the bumps probably last tens of seconds; some flights experience turbulence for many minutes at a time.
Geographic preference: None. Clear-air turbulence is most common in the vicinity of upper air fronts, which are associated with strong three-dimensional wind shears. Clear-air turbulence is also common, and may be severe, in mountain wave situations. Turbulence in convective clouds is taken for granted because of the up-and-down air motions, but pilots try to avoid thunderstorms.
Turbulence is the leading cause of non-fatal injury to flight attendants and passengers. Under the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA's) Safer Skies Program, the Commercial Aviation Safety Team commissioned the Turbulence Joint Safety Analysis Team to study the increasing rate of air carrier turbulence incidents and accidents from 1987 to 2000. The average annual cost of the rare fatality and all non-fatal injuries combined for all airlines is approximately $26 million.
Because of the ephemeral nature of turbulence, its existence is almost always inferred and predicted from the larger-scale wind field. Aircraft experiencing turbulence routinely inform following aircraft about what to expect.
Measurements in clear and cloudy air on the scale of tens to hundreds of meters every few seconds are needed to detect aircraft turbulence. If this is ever to become a practical reality, it may have to be done from the aircraft itself. The prediction of aircraft turbulence will be based on parameterizations (approximations in computer models that account for physical processes too small to be captured on the grid of points where model computations occur) for many years to come. It has yet to be shown that observations of turbulence can lead to better predictions of turbulence in models.

Lena Dunham, every hazy post-grad girl's #1 influence, says that it's important to "Watch films and TV shows you love again and again to learn about storytelling" (*SOURCE = Teen Vogue, whatwhattt). I'm so glad that this successful filmmaker has validated the way I spend roughly 99% of my time in this well-respected publication. Film Quarterly it's not, but she is speaking to an age group that needs to hear this and KEEP ON doing it. As I was re-watching Half Nelson with my sister this week, I realized why I had coerced her into seeing what Netflix would likely call a "Dark Urban Drama Featuring Improbable Friendships and Crack Cocaine" instead an episode of LA Ink (which, now that I think of it, could perhaps fall under the same headline).
This movie continues to surprise and captivate me with every viewing — I lose myself because I become so invested in these characters. This is accomplished not only by the incredible performances by Ryan Gosling and Shareeka Epps, but by a clear narrative intention on the part of the director Ryan Fleck.
In an opening scene, Daniel Dunne (Gosling) is sitting in front of a chalkboard on which the question "What is History?" is written. He tries to explain to his middle school students that history is, in effect, opposing forces coming together to cause change: left and right, big and little, you and I. The idea of opposites is key when it comes to montage, but here it takes on an even greater sense as two seemingly different people come together to give meaning to the other. While some transitions between scenes can seem discordant or as if they've been cut too soon, these moments of juxtoposition succeed in bridging the gaps between two ideas, places, and, as the case is here, a teacher and a student. You and I.

In Dogtooth, the Greek film awarded the "Prix Un Certain Regard" at Cannes in 2010, the characters move about like dolls, their actions limited to stiff, indifferent motions carried out each day. Confined to their home and backyard, three children without names grow up playing games, eating meals together, filming family videos and then watching them for entertainment, reciting the words that they've said aloud. It's a kind of paradise, a world without telephones, school, other people. But this huis clos devolves when the outside world breaks in, in the form of sex, zombies and Sylvester Stallone.
The Headless Sisters
Almost every scene features a shot that leaves the heads out of the frame. Something's missing.
Today's activity: fun with anesthesia.
Mary Tsoni as younger daughter, Aggeliki Papoulia as older daughter, above
Christos Passalis as son, above, bravely executing the cat-beast in their yard.
A rare display of hysteria
Older daughter is exposed to contraband Bruce Lee videos.
Which she quotes at all the right moments.
Vocabulary lessons from their parents. When the son asks, "What's a zombie?" his mother replies, "A zombie is a small yellow flower." Perhaps he should have looked in the mirror.
Family videos, a reinforcement of just how happy they are. The replacement of these home movies with Rocky and Flashdance is the first time "others" are brought into the house.
Happy Anniversary, mother and father. And now for a little dance (the best scene in the film —> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLOy4_tzXHY).
Isabelle's spoiled me for anyone else.
Isabelle Huppert, above
La Pianiste is hard to shake. It tells a story we've heard before: loneliness, repression, fantasy and its counterpart, le quotidien. But here there's no relief, whether it's in the form of a resolution and happy ending for Erika, a stifled piano teacher played by Isabelle Huppert, or even in the form of sleep, which she spends in a twin bed pushed next to her mother's, their relationship proving to be closer and more complicated than those of most married couples.
Huppert and Annie Giradot, above
Huppert's portrait of desperation is tragically convincing; we're let into her private life which allows us to see through her stoic exterior, her only defense.
Benoît Magimel
Perhaps the only escape offered Erika is Walter, a comparatively naïve student whom Erika begins to teach. Benoît is another new favorite of mine.
You might say that music is her one companion, but it proves to only be something to devote her time and talent to lest she explode. Her real passion lies elsewhere.
Love is in the air?
Shades of desperation.
Alone, exiting the concert hall.
Hart, played by Timothy Bottoms the gingham button-up, is perhaps the most lovable protagonist you've ever met. In The Paper Chase, every Harvard Law student goes by his (and even her, if you're one of the few girls shown on screen) last name, among teachers, friends, significant others…and it feels so right.
This movie is why the 70s was film's BEST DECADE.
Timothy Bottoms & Lindsay Wagner

The evolution of Lending Club
I have a piece in this week's NY Mag about Lending Club, part of a series of profiles of what the magazine calls "boom brands". I've been a fan of the Lending Club model since April 2009, and have watched its steady, disciplined growth with admiration since then. As I explain in my article, the company has changed over the years: at this point, it's much more about the Lending than it is about the Club, and the peer-to-peer nature of the site is much less important than it was at the beginning.
But Renaud Laplanche, Lending Club's founder, tells me that there are interesting developments ahead on that front, too: he has started talking to companies in Silicon Valley about the idea of providing low-cost loans to employees. As in, very low cost: you could borrow at a rate of as little as 3% from your employer, which in turn would still be making a higher return on its money than anything easily available to its Treasury operation. And because you're an employee, you're much more likely to be accepted into the program than a random applicant to Lending Club — and you're also much less likely to default on your loan.
This kind of program wouldn't make sense for, say, McDonald's — but it does make sense for places like Apple or Intel. Again, it's not an expansion of credit to places where it was formerly unavailable, but it is a way of disintermediating banks and strengthening bonds — in this case, between employer and employee.
And Laplanche thinks that there are areas where he might even be able to expand the size of the borrower pool — specifically, small businesses, which always have a devil of a time borrowing money, and which banks find very difficult to lend to. Lending Club will probably use its own money to start lending in a small way to small businesses in the first instance, rather than putting any peer money at risk. This is a whole new underwriting nut to crack, and there are too many things which could go wrong at the start. But if it works, then Lending Club could really become an engine of economic growth.
Lending Club will go public next year in what will surely be one of the easiest IPOs in memory. The company's financials and quarterly reports have been publicly available for years, in fully SEC-approved form. In fact, thanks to something called blue sky laws, going public will actually reduce Lending Club's regulatory burden, by putting the whole company under the aegis of federal regulators. No longer will it need to laboriously work with regulators in 50 different states. But there will be a short burst of publicity, much of which will concentrate on the company's growth rate.
And the thing to note here is that although Lending Club is by far the world's biggest peer-to-peer lender, it isn't following the standard Silicon Valley model of growing as fast as possible. Loan quality changes over time, and it doesn't want too much of its investors' money to be tied up in a single cohort of borrowers, as would be the case if it expanded at a too-rapid clip.
Once Lending Club started being able to attract Wall Street money, a lot of things changed, including the fact that all accepted borrowers started getting funded, sometimes within minutes and always within a couple of days. In that sense, the growth constraint at Lending Club is the number of borrowers it accepts, rather than the amount of money available to be lent. But the pool of possible borrowers is still much larger than the one from which Lending Club is currently fishing — it doesn't even need to expand its product line to be able to grow, at current rates of growth, for many years to come. There are lots of Americans out there who want to borrow money, or refinance. And over time, we'll surely see a substantial proportion of the best credits among them moving online for their funding needs.

So Felix, what's the deal with them operating in all 50 states? Is that on the horizon, or dead in the water? I was a Prosper lender back in 2006, and ended up making a small (1%) return on a few thousand $ in loans. As you mention in the story, defaults were not uncommon and Prosper was frustratingly slow to do anything about them. But then Prosper shut down and I've never been able to get back in. I live in a state where Prosper and Lending Club can't offer notes and I don't think the list of states where they can offer notes has changed in the last 3-4 years. It's really frustrating…
I am a banker so take that bias into account when you read this post. At what point would employer to employee lending be worth the time or hassle for either party? a 2% pickup on a 10 billion dollars of cash is of course a cool 200 million and who wouldn't want that right?
Keep doing the math and the limitations become pretty apparent, in two minutes it looks like Cisco has the most cash as a % of market cap so a company like that would have the most to gain. To put the 10 billion to work (10 billion being only 20% of their current cash pile they would need to lend $100,000 to 100,000 employees. (Yahoo says they currently have 75,000.)
Some companies already lend to their key executives and rising stars but they do it only to reward them/tie them down. I can see that kind of thing growing… especially with the taxation of wages on the rise and limitations on the deduction of salary expense above some high thresholds… but this will never be a main-street/middle-class option.
P.S to Harpstein… you should see if there are any groups of hard money lenders that meet in your local area. Lots of people write private party notes backed by assets. Many are so well protected that the lender/loan sharks are hoping for default because they want to take the collateral on the cheap. It sounds like a cooler hobby than knitting but yikes after earning a 1% return on your money why would you be looking to do this again at all? I mean Verizon just came to market with 5% paper a few weeks ago!
Hapstein, you should consider yourself fortunate that you made any net profit at all because Prosper royally screwed up in the beginning. The platform did not become favorable to lenders until they revamped their risk model a few years ago.
Lending Club actually continues to underprice the risk all this time which is why borrowers flock to it in droves and why re-lending to it is a bad idea. A 3-5 year unsecured loan, even in AAA grade at 5% net yield after a couple of defaults, is not really worth the stress and trouble when there are asset-secured alternatives paying double digit yields available, as the banker noted. Banks do not lend out unsecured loans for less than double digit yields — do you think maybe they might know a thing or two?
As for P2P not being available in your state, I think you need to place blame on the glory hound bureaucrats for "protecting you against yourself". They know best.
P2P lending has changed drastically over the last 3-4 years mainly due to the deployment of institutional capital. As a result, the bottleneck has become borrowers rather than lenders as Felix aptly notes.
P2P lending has also paved the way for accredited investor crowdfunding. Platforms like RealtyShares (www.realtyshares.com) and Circleup (www.circleup.com) are creating ways for investors to invest as little as $5,000 into real estate and small businesses and earn yields similar to what they earning with platforms like lending club and prosper.
Exciting times for the fintech space and I commend LendingClub and Prosper for being pioneers.

After Fred Couples signed for a 67 in the first round of the Northern Trust Open at Riviera in February, Padraig Harrington put his arm around the American legend as the two climbed the stairs to the locker room. Harrington hadn't fared as well, and he asked what club Couples had hit into the long, par-4 18th hole.
"Seven-iron," Couples said. Then, not wanting to sound boastful about his still-prodigious length, he added: "The wind changed."
Replied the Irishman: "We need to get you on the Champions Tour."
That's our Freddy — longer than ever at 49, and just as cool. But what few people knew at the time was that just two days earlier his estranged wife Thais had lost her battle with breast cancer. She and Couples had separated in 2005, then tried unsuccessfully to reconcile in 2007. Her two children were in the care of family friends in Santa Barbara, Calif., and, according to Couples, they were divided over whether they wanted Fred in their lives.
Drama seems to follow Couples (whose first wife Deborah took her own life in 2001), though you'd never know it from his famously loose demeanor. Five months before his 50th birthday, the 15-time Tour winner discusses his painful personal life, his duties as reigning U.S. Presidents Cup captain, and whether he'll open up a can of Boom-Boom on the Champions Tour.
When was the last time you saw Thais?
I saw her at the end of '07 at Tiger's event. I went back there to help her out. When it comes from me, it sounds one way, when it comes from her, she would say, "Well, he came back and then he left again." And that is correct. That was the hardest thing I ever did, to not stay there after a few months. I lived in the guesthouse for a little while, took care of [my stepchildren] Oliver and GiGi.
That must have been hard on the kids.
The hardest part was I wasn't able to do what I wanted to do with the kids, which was to make decisions for them and do things. That was very difficult because we all knew this day was coming, and if I had stayed all this time now I would be their father. That was my goal, and it didn't work out. So now I'm hoping that Oliver for sure and maybe someday GiGi will want to come and spend time with me. If not, I'm sure I will talk to them. I haven't wanted to push it. I'm not their father. I'm a guy who married their mom.
They won't see you?
GiGi is 18 and wants nothing to do with me, but Oliver, who is 16, in our own way we've kept in touch. We text each other. Hopefully in the near future somebody will give me the okay [to resume contact]. It took me a long time to figure out why and what was going on. I just wish [Thais] was still around. I have no hard feelings. A decision is a decision.
What do you mean?
Her decision was for me not to be able to go up there and see Oliver and be around him for a few days and leave. I think she wanted something different.
The kids are still in Santa Barbara?
Yeah. GiGi is at college in Santa Barbara, and Oliver is in high school. So hopefully that'll turn around. I'm off for a month, and I don't expect them to want to see me. I just know it'll be tough on them.
Who is their caretaker?
Oliver is with a great family up there, some nice people who were taking care of him while Thais was [ill], and GiGi is on her own. She works. She's a pretty smart kid.

15. Re: Will T Mobile release 2.3 for the Vibrant?wnleon Dec 22, 2011 10:01 AM (in response to philyew)
I agree that all four of those points are likely possible. For me, TM with its free tethering seems to be the better deal of all the carriers. Samsung has the hardware I like. Now that AT&T is out of the picture, maybe this German Company will wake up and see the potential of TM and quit trying to sell it, but instead keep it the best value and a better alternative to AT&T and Verizon. Then maybe they can get their act together and can more clearly plan their product life cycles and communicate those plans to their customers. It would be sad to be this close to success to just sell-out now.

19. Re: Will T Mobile release 2.3 for the Vibrant?agentj Jan 3, 2012 9:43 AM (in response to scottkuo)
The lack of support for the Vibrant is disgusting. Froyo was an improvement but was very, very late and I still have poor battery life, poor GPS performance, random slow response in every application (including sometimes just trying to answer a call), random failure to auto-connect to WiFi networks that I use all the time, media sound that quits almost every day, etc. Does this sound familiar to anyone? We waited forever for the Froyo update that was supposed to be out soon after the initial release of this phone. Now all the Galaxy S phones, including the Canada version of the Vibrant, have 2.3 but we in the US don't have it and cannot get an answer from T-Mo as to when/if they will put any resources into releasing this update that everyone else has. If T-Mo and Samsung cannot support what they sell, why would we ever buy from them again? I liked the Android but it's looking like my next phone will probably be from Apple. Hey T-Mobile, is anyone there listening?!
20. Re: Will T Mobile release 2.3 for the Vibrant?wnleon Jan 3, 2012 10:15 AM (in response to agentj)
I had those same symptons in addition to my blue-tooth acting up and not always connecting. When I called T-Mobile, they walked me through a factory restore. It kept Froyo, but I lost all my apps. I just downloaded my apps again and now my phone is working great. My battery will last 3 days unless I'm watching videos or heavy surfing. It wouldn't last a day before the reset. GPS improved, but still not as fast or accurate as I want it to be. Blue-tooth has worked perfectly since the reset. WiFi works flawlessly.
Good Luck
21. Re: Will T Mobile release 2.3 for the Vibrant?philyew Jan 3, 2012 10:55 AM (in response to wnleon)
Yup. On the one hand, a factory reset will often sort out some of those issues, and on the other hand, Gingerbread won't help with some of them, since they are caused by the file system used by Samsung, not the OS.
The biggest benefit of using custom ROMs is that most include file system fixes that get rid of almost all lag and freeze issues.
22. Re: Will T Mobile release 2.3 for the Vibrant?agentj Jan 4, 2012 5:18 PM (in response to wnleon)
Thanks wnleon. It sounds painful but will be worth it if I get the same results you got. I will try my luck with T-Mo phone support and and the reset...
23. Re: Will T Mobile release 2.3 for the Vibrant?rinthos Jan 7, 2012 6:26 AM (in response to agentj)
Can't say much more than this but here goes...
The Vibrant won't be the lone non-gingerbread Galaxy S phone out there..Verizon customers actually have a similar dilema.
Sure the Facinate got updated, but the Continuum did not.
There is a rather aggressive target to get the original 'galaxy S' update promise over and done by the end of Q1-2012...but do realize that if/when Samsung has a final build ready..they need Verizon and T-Mobile (in the current examples) to sign off on each build. If not, the builds go back to Samsung to 'remediate' and re-release. I will say the 'movie' on the SD card always complicates these things..but that's not news anymore.
And I'm sure you can imagine where these phones sit with regard to priorities for each company..
24. Re: Will T Mobile release 2.3 for the Vibrant?ugarit Jan 10, 2012 7:05 PM (in response to wnleon)
How do you know it was released to Tmobile?
BTW, AT&T's Samsung Captivate now has the upgrade to Android 2.3 Gingerbread http://www.samsung.com/us/support/SupportOwnersFAQPopup.do?faq_id=FAQ00024051&fm_seq=24219

Something is going on. I just opened kies mini and it updated to a newer version from froyo. But still no firmware update indicated.
26. Re: Will T Mobile release 2.3 for the Vibrant?philyew Jan 11, 2012 7:02 AM (in response to lj2)
I haven't touched mini kies for a year now, but isn't it used for other Samsung Galaxy S devices? If it is, then an update may have nothing to do with the Vibrant...
27. Re: Will T Mobile release 2.3 for the Vibrant?wnleon Jan 11, 2012 8:17 AM (in response to ugarit)
When I was researching 2.3 for the Vibrant I read Blogs and other support sights. In those travels I found one where someone had contacted Samsung support and their reply was that they had the update for the Vibrant and it was up to T-Mobile to put their Brand on it and do the final testing before release. I can't recall where that was.
As to the comments about mini kies, that was done for the new Samsung 4G.

28. Re: Will T Mobile release 2.3 for the Vibrant?lj2 Jan 11, 2012 8:59 AM (in response to philyew)
Kies mini is used for other Galaxy S devices but this is the first update for Vibrant since froyo. I have been checking weekly looking for the Gingerbread update. It wasn't updated when the other models got Gingerbread.
29. Re: Will T Mobile release 2.3 for the Vibrant?lj2 Jan 11, 2012 8:25 PM (in response to lj2)
The updated version is v184.108.40.20684_3.

Update: 1:45 pm: It looks like Fox's 24: Live Another Day returned to better numbers that previously reported. Nielsen has released the time adjusted ratings and 24: Live Another Day has grew in total viewers from 8 million to 8.1 million , and saw a larger jump in the demo rising from 2.5 to a 2.9 in 18-49 demo.
Previous: Fox's much anticipated 24: Live Another Day, brought the network a much needed boost in their Monday night line-up. 24: Live Another Day managed to bring in 8 million total viewers and garnish a 2.5, putting the special limited episode run on track with the series's season 8 finale (8.4 million viewers, 2.6 in the demo).
Jack Bauer's return brought Fox a much needed boost to its Monday night line-up, bringing in more total viewers and a stronger demo rating that Fox's Bones/The Following two hour block with averages just above 5 million viewers a week and a 1.5 in the demo.
Here are how the other networks faired on Monday night:
ABC: Dancing With the Stars averaged 12.7 mil and a 1.8 in the demo, dropping 20 and 30 percent since last week's episode. Castle followed suit at 10/9c (8.9 mil/1.6) falling 14 and 20 percent.
CBS: 2 Broke Girls' finale (6.5 mil/1.9) was down 17 and 17 percent from last week's all new episode. CBS continued to struggle throughout the night as fellow comedies Friends With Better Lives (5 mil/1.6) fell 18 and 16 percent, and Mike & Molly (6.5 mil/1.8) was down 14 and 18 percent.
NBC: Over at NBC new episodes of The Voice (10.8 mil/3.0) and The Blacklist (10.6 mil/2.7) managed to remain steady in the demo rating, but saw a slight decrease in overall viewership.
The CW: Freshmen series Star-Crossed (930K/0.3) and The Tomorrow People finale (1 mil/0.4) were both disappointingly flat (not a good sign for a renewal).

Might as well use this guy's shot in my post. I am starting to become dead inside. There's been about three or four games that I said we really needed to win, and we only won one of them. Let's call this a season of missed opportunities. Beating the Packers in Lambeau was great. After that it's been mostly downhill.
Losing to the Lions in Soldier Field to give them the sweep was the lowest of the low-lights because of the position it put us in. Getting man-handled like the Jonas Brothers by the Rams sucked bad, only to be followed by getting a wedgie in our "Last Dance" in the Metrodome by the Vikings. Who, coincidentally, had nothing to play for but pride.
Now, we all know the Lions are allergic to success, but in spite of themselves they sit atop the NFC North. We even helped them get there by jumping on a grenade named Aaron Rodgers. I was talking with my wife about watching another sport last night, that's how bad it is. The only problem is The Chicago Bears don't play any other sports.
I did some soul searching and I figured out something. I was complete and had a one-ness with the universe and all that crap. George Halas light shined unto me to reveal…………………
