Harper Beckham may only be 19-months-old but that doesn't stop her from being the ultimate mini-fashionista and racking up a shoe collection worth a stonking £1,500. This toddler wears ribbed Chloe tights worth THIRTY POUNDS a pop so it's not a huge surprise that she rocks some flashy, expensive shoes.
The little poppet hasn't been walking long, so she has at least a good fifteen years left until she can copy her mama and reach for the 5 inch Louboutins. So how on earth is she spending SO much money on flat pumps? Well her collection includes lambskin Hermes shoes for £170, custom-made Nike trainers for £50, bow-detailed Burberry pumps for £110, Bonpoint sandals for £65 and Chloe sandals for £94. She does occassionally wear a high street pair too, such as the black Zara pumps worth £29.99 she wore to one of her mummy's fashion shows.
It's hardly a surprise that Harps has a wardrobe filled with shoes, as she has been a style-icon-in-the-making every since she came into the world. But what about the REST of her clothes? She sticks to Stella McCartney Kids, Terre de Sienna onesies, Marie Chantal dresses and lots and lots of Bonpoint. David has spoken about her super expensive wardrobe as he said to US Weekly, '[Harper] has so many little dresses! I didn't realise how excited I would get over buying hair bows'. N'aww.
Harper Seven's wardobe is likely to get even bigger on her papa's move to Paris, as a source told us that the uber chic French children's house Bonpoint are planning on welcoming her to Paree with lotsa gifts. A source in Paris exclusively told Grazia Daily: 'It's believed that Bonpoint will be sending their new collection to Victoria when she arrives in Paris to visit David. After the daughters of Obama and Brad and Angelina's children, we can't wait to welcome our latest little customer, Harper, to our Paris shop.'
The source added: 'Since she was born, she has often made appearances wearing Liberty printed blouses which look grand on her. We are impatient to show her our latest Spring-Summer collection. She is one of our most ravishing ambassadors.' Oh how we wish we could walk in her Stella McCartney shoes and be able to inherit THAT VB handbag collection.
Check out Harper's impressive shoe collection in the gallery above and be warned by the end you will have fallen head over heals for the little cutey...

Season 1 finale left behind it tons of rubble: the city of Lion's Arch in ruins along with the lives of its citizens and dust covering aions-long history. People were put in prison (Canach), others broke out of it (Mai Trin), or were left for dead -both anonymous and famous ones (Garrot Ambercowl, Theo Ashford, Scarlet Briar)- while countless were forced to abandon their homes, from the Shiverpeaks to Kryta. Unravelling this skein also brought to the stagelight new characters, heros-to-be, who kept us company in this adventure and whom we shall have on our side again, no doubt, in the coming season: Braham Eirsson, Rox Pickheart, Taimi & Scruffy, Ellen Kiel & Evon Gnashblade, Marjory Delaqua & Kasmeer Meade. The lives of these characters, their relationships and agendas are soon to be interwined with shadows from the past which begun to form in the corners of the Maguuma Jungle. The trip ahead promises to be an exciting one!
With all the number crunching and theory crafting out of the way in the first part
of this two-part series we can jump straight to the build here. I have
used another armor set (Apothecary's instead of Cleric's), enhanced with
different Runes (Monk's
instead of Dwayna's). Similarly, the trinkets are also dissimilar; both
changes aim to compensate for some weaknesses the Elementalist has as
compared to the Guardian.
The event itself is going to be held both in the original Guild Wars and
Guild Wars 2, with lots of activities planned for those present to take
part in. So, be sure to be there, support the cause and enjoy your time
spent with your fellow players.
Tyria has changed, I can feel it in the air, I can taste it in the water. After the victory over Zhaitan, nature's elements had calmed down for a while but as it appears, this didn't last long. I sense the earth tremble, the air crushing me as it engulfs me in its frozen embrace. The water in the rivers and lakes has a sickening taste. The energy that nurtures life on this world, is burning my insides. Every now and then a dark force jumps up from the abyss to haunt me and each time I look in its depths it instills its darkness inside me, slowly filling me with hatred and repulsion. It is as if my own soul gradually fades and I'm left hollow inside, leaving me a mere shadow of my former self. A ghost wandering in the darkness.
I'd like to keep this announcement short.
That is, most of all, because I'm the kind of person that tends to get rather emotional when the time comes for farewells.
Dragon Season's staff came together a couple of days ago to discuss our future plans. The decision was mutual. We resolved to move the guild back to Guild Wars 1 and repurpose our fan site so that it caters more to the needs of those that deal with the first title of the franchise.
Hello everybody. It's your friendly neighborhood Tilion. This time around I'm here to spread the word about two events that are just around the corner. Lots of work and passion have gone into them and I'd be happy to see them embraced by the community on its whole.
The aim of this article is to present an attempt at creating a GW2 character which will resemble, to the greatest possible degree, a typical MMO Cleric. My experience with the game so far tells me that the two most suitable professions for this purpose are the Guardian and the
Elementalist. I shall start with the former since it's the profession of my main character and I reckon I know it best :-)

Infrastructure service and Management is one of the major functions in any IT Industry. Over the years IT Services has evolved from physical to virtual to cloud. Lately companies are either moving to the cloud or thinking about it. Most companies are still experimenting on what will work best for them. Major attraction for many IT services to the cloud is undoubtedly the cost factor and management itself. The current market shifts include the increasing virtualization of technology, acceptance of service-based management methodologies and Cloud computing as a new delivery model for IT functions and services.
So what are the types of Clouds and which best is suited for an organization?
Mainly there are 4 Types of clouds which are Public, Private, Community and Hybrid Clouds. An Organization has to decide which best suits their requirements, which again depends on many factors. Let's look into each of them in brief.
Majority of the Hybrid vendors provides IaaS services today. Some of them are VMWare, Rackspace, HP, IBM etc.
There are advantages and disadvantages of each one of them. Cost and Security are a major factor. We are not going in-depth on this topic.
Below Diagram shows a Hybrid Cloud. (Note- Not including the Community cloud).
According to the Gartner report Majority of the private and community cloud services will evolve to Hybrid cloud by 2017.
Hybrid IT
Hybrid IT is the mission and the operational model for IT infrastructure and operations in a cloud computing world.
So what is Hybrid IT?
Hybrid IT is an approach to enterprise computing in which an organization provides and manages some information technology (IT) resources in-house but uses cloud-based services for others. In short it is a mixture of IT resources from in-house and also services from the Cloud.
http://searchcloudcomputing.techtarget.com/definition/hybrid-IT )
Hybrid IT is transforming IT architectures and the role of IT itself, according to Gartner, Inc. Hybrid IT is the result of combining internal and external services, usually from a combination of internal and public clouds, in support of a business outcome. Hybrid IT relies on new technologies to connect clouds, sophisticated approaches to data classification and identity, and service-oriented architecture, and heralds significant change for IT practitioners. Workloads will move around in hybrid internal/external IT environments.
For critical applications and data, IT organizations have not adopted public cloud computing as quickly. Many IT organizations discover that public cloud service providers cannot meet the security requirements, integrate with enterprise management, or guarantee availability necessary to host critical applications. Therefore, organizations continue to own and operate internal IT services that house critical applications and data.
But Cloud is a means to improved efficiency, not an end in itself, and companies should not overlook the need to connect business goals and priorities. Now, IT has an opportunity to capitalize on its hard work in domain management, service Management and virtualization to leverage Cloud services for increased resiliency and efficiency.
There are many providers for Hybrid IT service management and one such provider is the HEAT Hybrid IT Service Management Solutions by Front Range. [ With this Hybrid IT Service Management solutions, organizations can easily Request a service or change, automatically approve and authorize the request, plan for appropriate remediation measures, automatically deploy the changes to the end users, monitor compliance and service level agreements and control their services portfolio on an ongoing basis to ensure enhanced service quality and customer satisfaction. ]
Without the need to deliver services rapidly and efficiently to the business, there would be no requirement for elastic and flexible computing environments. IT needs to be able to determine those services that will return the highest value to the business, and needs to be able to demonstrate the relative value propositions of in-house versus outsourced and Cloud versus traditional approaches.

Mobile BI has come a long way. From the time of receiving automated text messages that signal failure of a batch process or breach of a critical threshold, today we have arrived in the age of interactive BI content delivered via mobile devices.
Most organizations today are either planning for a mobile BI strategy or have already framed one. The mobile BI strategy could either be a subset of the overall mobile strategy for the organization or an independent piece.
Forrester claims that mobile BI is "no longer a nice-to-have" and BI will soon fully catch up with mobility. Gartner predicts that by 2015, 50% of BI functionality will be consumed via hand-held devices.
What are the elements that need to be considered when drawing up your mobile BI strategy? How important are they?
What are the use cases for your organization to adopt a mobile BI strategy? Most of the current usage of traditional BI is for strategic purposes by people residing in the upper echelons of the pyramid. Mobile BI to perform strategic analysis does not really make sense, unless there is a reason why your C-level executive cannot open his/her laptop. The real use cases for mobile BI lie in operational decision making. Gartner believes that "The biggest value is in operational BI — information in the context of applications — not in pushing lots of data to somebody's phone". For example, a sales person on the road may want to know the "Next Best Product" to be sold to a customer. A valid use case could also be in integrating device specific features in BI. For example, a door-to-door service agent may be advised on the order in which to make the house visits based on multiple parameters including proximity (GPS!), criticality, aging etc. Irrespective of the use case, it is important to be clear on it and set expectations appropriately.
The other important factor that helps finalize the use cases is by tracking the RoI. Mobile BI investments span the cost of devices as well as software, security, development and maintenance costs. So it is important to ensure that your use cases provide tangible returns. The RoI can be quantified as Revenue Enhancement, Margin Enhancement, Cost Reduction, Cost Avoidance or Capital Cost Avoidance. For example, an iPad containing drug performance comparison across patient profile can help increase quality face time for a medical representative with a physician by x%, your sales head would surely be comfortable promising a x/5% increase in sales. That, by itself, could fund your entire project.
Typically, the 70% of users who don't access traditional BI are the representative audience for mobile BI. Hence it is important to tailor your strategy to the new cross-section of people who will be your consumers. They may be less techno-savvy, more impatient to see results and have narrower but very specific needs. The real value of mobile BI is when users can fully interact with BI content delivered to mobile devices – there needs to be a distinction from informative email or text messages.
Mobile BI should complement your existing BI solution – it need not cover all the bases. A desktop dashboard is meant for deep analysis while a mobile BI is designed for quick and easy consumption. A mobile BI solution is meant for the "mobile" folks in your organization: executives, sales personnel, line managers on the shop-floor etc. Tailor your mobile BI solutions to suit the needs of these people (not those of your research analyst and financial accountant).
Don't ignore existing devices when framing the mobile BI strategy and attempting to arrive at organization standards. BYOD (Bring Your Own Device)/heterogeneous systems have their drawbacks especially in terms of consistency, but the task of converting iOS fanatics to Android (and vice-versa) is not a battle worth getting into. There might also be a challenge in utilizing device specific capabilities and this is another negative that needs to be considered. HTML5 is helping us bridge the divide between browser specific and device specific strategies.
There is a tendency in BI projects to say "we are just doing some reports on the mobile; let us roll it out in a couple of weeks". Beware! Mobile BI projects are governed by the same fundamentals that traditional BI projects are - just even more stringent. Garbage in is still garbage out. Visualizations that don't make sense will kill adoption. Security is even more critical. User Types are a lot more critical. The mobile BI strategy should therefore be planned and executed in a well-thought out manner and not rushed into. Ensure it doesn't get fast tracked.
A critical part of the mobile BI strategy is managing expectations. No one should expect feature parity with a traditional BI solution (drag and drop etc.) but there are some cool new things that can be integrated (GPS, gyroscope, touch screen etc.). Telling people what they can get and what they cannot is an integral part of the strategy via trainings etc.
Security architecture needs to be revisited for mobile BI implementations and should be a critical part (if not the most critical part) of the strategy. Key business information needs to be delivered via mobile devices; else the utility of the BI project is compromised; however this carries security considerations that need to be carefully handled. All mobile BI projects transmit data from an internal firewall through a DMZ and via an external firewall before hitting the end device. It is critical that the mobile BI strategy lays out the approach for handling a whole gamut of security considerations including:
Some other factors that need to be kept in consideration when framing your mobile BI strategy include bandwidth (system and resource), mobile UX and design considerations (templates, interactivity, device features), ability to reuse existing investments, strategy to reuse design for both traditional and mobile BI etc.
Mobile BI is something that can only be ignored at your own peril; but don't just jump into the waters without some thorough preparation.

My son is 10 and weighs 75 lbs. Wondering if the size 28 is right for him.
For his weight I would suggest a 29" in the 2014 Easton S3 Senior League Baseball Bat (SL14S310B), however, if you wanted to go down a 28" would also work.
My son is 12, 4'11", and very strong. What size bat do you recommend?
Based on your age, our Bat Coach recommends a 30" 2014 Easton S3 Senior League Baseball Bat (SL14S310B). For more information on sizing, check out our Bat Coach: http://www.justbats.com/bat-coach/
Is this bat for a power or contact hitter?
The 2014 Easton S3 Senior League Baseball Bat (SL14S310B) has a balanced swing weight and is best suited for contact hitters.
Product Description
New for 2014! The next generation of Power Brigade has arrived. Now in its second season, this groundbreaking line of bats is unlike anything else on the field today. The concept is simple: Help players hit for power. However, Easton realizes that different players achieve a powerful swing in different ways. That's why the Power Brigade is divided into two distinct series - the XL Series (XL1, XL2, and XL3) and the Speed Series (S1, S2, and S3). The XL Series is designed for bigger, stronger hitters who derive their power from a bat with more mass. Smaller length to weight ratios, and an extra-long barrel with a massive sweet spot and a slight end load characterize the XL Series. The Speed Series, on the other hand, helps players increase their swing speed in order to generate more power. These bats feature lighter length to weight ratios, a lower M.O.I., and a balanced feel. Further trying to equip players with their perfect bat, Easton offers all of its Power Brigade bats in a two-piece IMX Composite/SIC Black Carbon design (XL1, S1), a two-piece IMX Composite/THT100 Scandium Alloy hybrid design (XL2, S2), and a one-piece THT Scandium Alloy design (XL3, S3). Two of the highest performing materials ever used on a bat, Easton's patented IMX Composite optimizes the sweet spot for maximum performance, while their THT Scandium Alloy provides solid durability and allows for a larger alloy sweet spot than is seen anywhere else on the field. Throw in an array of additional world-class Easton technology, and you've got a line of bats that can't be topped. Easton: Personalize Your Power! The S3 features the new USSSA 1.15 BPF Stamp. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty.

In "Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith," Chancellor Palpatine invites Jedi warrior Anakin Skywalker into his impressive office overlooking the capital Galactic City (aka Imperial City). It's a pivotal moment in the film and the saga, for it is there that Palpatine invites the young Jedi to be his personal representative, setting in motion an inevitable clash. Nothing in the saga will ever the same.
Home theater owner Steve Simon had a pivotal moment as well, though his likely didn't involve Jedi forces and dark sides. Simon wanted to convert part of his garage into a home theater, and he thought he'd decorate it with the Star Wars memorabilia he had collected over the years.
Simon hired his friend, Jorge Ocampo of Miami-based DreamSpace to be the electronics installer, and DreamSpace does a lot of work with CDGi (Cinema Design Group International), which makes acoustical panels and furnishings for home theaters. Once Simon realized that CDGi's CinemaScape acoustic system could surround his home theater with customized dye sublimation printing, everything changed. His home theater would no longer be decorated with Star Wars memorabilia. It would be something right out of Star Wars itself.
What to use as inspiration didn't take much thought. Simon loved the red colors of Palpatine's majestic office, the futuristic sconces and above all, the backdrop of a detailed capital city. So there was the plan: Simon's theater would be red, with identical sconces and ringed by windows showing the capital city. "I love the fact that there's a futuristic city in the backdrop. That's the place where you get to see most of the city," Simon says.
DreamSpace and CDGi agreed, and from there, nothing was ever the same. CDGi knew that this would be a great way to show its CinemaScape technology in printing on acoustical fabric. Only there was a major challenge to fulfilling Simon's request. The detail of the city from the movie couldn't be copied on the large scale needed for Simon's theater. The resolution just wasn't good enough. So CDGi had to re-create the city in detail, using 3D rendering and then transferring that to a computer—several computers, in fact, to handle the huge files. And that would set this project back months.
"It became a labor of love on our part," says Carey Schafer, vice president of engineering for CDGi. "Our 3D artists have done great work, but taking something to that degree was a totally different dynamic. We took some still shots from the movie and drew individual buildings based on the movie in a 3D world. Then we created the sky behind it. We had to build two supercomputers to crunch the image and get through it—and we used a shared array with eight more computers to go through it. We learned a lot [about] what goes into something like this."Facebook and Twitter.

This item arrived on time and in perfect condition. It was easy to put together as the instructions were easy to follow. I was looking for a small bakers rack and this one fits perfectly. The baskets are a nice size and fairly sturdy. The color of the baskets and the wood top are a bit darker in reality than what it shows in the picture, but it could be the quality of my PC monitor. It you are looking for a bakers rack with old world charm that can fit into a small space I would recommend this one!
I was looking for a bakers rack or unit of some kind for our kitchen that has recently undergone a renovation because we didn't want the microwave to take up our minimal counter space. After measuring the microwave and looking at the dimensions online, I figured this would work and it did. The user review from "Rosemount, MN" had me hooked. This definitely was easy enough to assemble and all the appropriate parts were there. My only minor issue was in getting the wicker drawer bottoms on.....I had to push pieces of the wicker back a little in order to fit the small screws through. Other than that, I certainly cannot complain about the value. If you're looking for something functional and still attractive, this is a very good buy. It also serves quite well its utilitarian purpose.
We were looking for a piece of furniture for the kitchen that would be used for storage and to help keep things off the table and kitchen island. We are able to store and organize all our recipes, cookbooks, magazines, mail, and anything else that might pass through the kitchen. This furniture is serving its purpose but it's also very attractive! The wicker and iron combination makes this piece unique looking and the baskets add very neat flare. We were able to assebly it fairly quickly and easily in our living room and had it in the kitchen the same day we got it delivered. This is an excellent value and we got a lot for the great price we paid.
Easy to put together. It is nice looking and seems very sturdy, not wobbly at all. The baskets fit all of my dvds nicely or could accommodate items up to 10" high. They are wire shelves that the baskets slide into and out of easily. The next shelf fits things 12" high and the shelf above that just under 8" high. The top two shelves are wire, not a solid shelf so keep that in mind for your planned use.
This is a very nice piece to add to a kitchen or dining room. Although I do think for the quality of the product, Overstock should have listed it at a lower price. It's a great piece, but once I received it, it seemed a bit pricey.
Easy 1 hr. assembly after removing parts from packaging.All the parts are clearly labelled. The written directions are not too clear, but I referred to all the diagrams for clarity. Offers a lot of storage in a small space.
Perfect for my kitchen. I put my microwave on it, saves me counter space.
the rack is perfect for small kitchen with out a lot of cabinets it takes most of my cooking equipment and other things.
Attractive and functional. It fits perfectly in my breakfast nook and provides needed additional storage. Very easy to put together. A great value.
I absolutely love this rack! I was nervous at first, because the main reason for this purchase was to house my microwave in a decorative fashion, and my microwave is kind of huge. But it worked! My husband was able to put it together with little effort (which is saying something). There was no drilling or anything of that sort required. And it is very sturdy. The baskets are foldable, which wasn't something I was expecting, but once you put the bottom portion in they remain pretty stable. They baskets aren't tall enough to accommodate cereal boxes, so I had to put shorter products there for kitchen storage. But overall, this product is just gorgeous. It's so elegant and goes perfectly in my kitchen. I would definitely recommend this to a friend.

One plug to rule them all
The Open Mobile Terminal Alliance (OMTP) has published a recommendation paper suggesting that mobile phone manufacturers all use micro USB connectors to charge, and connect, their handsets. The recommendation document - available as a PDF file here - suggests that mini USB, the connector already being used on many devices, …
Don't think size matters
I don't think the issue of the phone thickness is the real problem.
The biggest thing will be, yes you can use any connector from any device for you phone and it will work No need to buy a special, dock, home charger, car charger, headphones etc etc...
Just think how much money they will loose in the nice aftermarket sector.
Yeah, but
It's all very well that the likes of Nokia are "supporting" this move considering they recently decided to change from the old size recharge socket to a new one across the board, rendering everybody's old chargers useless. Brand loyalty count for nothing these days.
Motorola did the same thing, making my collection of chargers (including car) pointless.
Still, I don't care anymore as I've got a LG Shine with micro USB so I'm ahead of the game...
Not an issue
"Obviously everyone would love to see all mobiles using the same charging and data connections, but telling a manufacturer that they can't make a phone 2mm thick becasue the 'industry standard' plug won't connect is less easy."
As long as they can provide an adapter to the standard fitting, they can put whatever connector they want on the phone itself...
Nokia may have switched to their own micro charger plug but they did issue an adapter from old-to-new with every phone!
It's a good idea.
My Motorola phone has one, same for my camera, Palm, and a couple of other devices. So I have one sitting on my desk at home, and one at work, one in my parts box.
No need to buy some overpriced $39 cable everytime I get a new phone... that may be the real problem. How do they make outrageous profit from cables once eveyone has one?
Customer Choice
I refuse to acquire a phone without a USB charger! Once a standard is in place I believe others will also shun phones that require new chargers (wall & car) and data cables.
Re: Brand Loyalty
This now comes from shipping your phone with an adaptor for your old charger
That's the nice thing about standards - there are so many of them to choose from!
My wife has a Motorola phone, with a mini-USB charging port.
But when she tries to recharge it with one of the other mini-USB chargers in the hose, the phone complains that it's not an official Motorola charger, and refuses to charge!
About time?
In Singapore where I'm at it has become pretty much a standard especially in terms of connectivity across much middle to top end devices.
I remember using the first Motorola V3 and it came with the mini-usb a year back and i was amazed and contented (and still am!)
A mini usb port in itself provides much usb-adapter capabilities.
Chinese having their say
So this in nothing to do with the chinese government making it the law that all mobile phones must accept usb chargers. Nothing to do with them having 1/4 of world wide gsm handsets.
The best move a govt has ever made.
To be fair...
... the Nokia N73 that I bought came with not only a new charger, but a little adaptor to convert the old charger to the new socket. In fact, you can buy them from the Nokia website for the princely sum of £3.50, instantly making your old nokia chargers useful again.
It'll prolly be possible to do a similar converter should a device need an ultra small socket.
Awww Idealists....
...Those of you who believe that a large number of consumers will shun mobile phone manufacturers because of none standard charger sockets are suffering from that sad condition of having faith in the majority! Those of us who have an avid interest and understanding of the issue may well do so but the average consumer will lap up whatever shiny new designer phone is thrown at them irrespective of whether it has an industry standard charger/data/headphone socket, they're too ignorant to care less.
hope so
I have several devices which have mini USB, the most convenient thing about it is that they can charge from the computer. Plug it in to sync the contacts, for example, and recharge at the same time. charge multiple items with the powered USB hub, what can be more convenient.
Being a smart arse, when I went on holiday, I took a powered USB hub with me, thinking that I can charge my Nokia phone (charges from special USB cable that looks like mini USB, but isn't) my blackberry, and my camera. Imagine my annoyance when the devices would not charge, unless the laptop was switched on. Apparently, they need to "talk" to the OS for some reason, before they can draw power from the USB port, even though the hub is powered...
What does the iPhone use?
.. just standardise on that - after all, there's no need for anything else.
wires suck
I'm all for a single plug - it'll be a lot more convenient for people who swap phones during the week. I just hope bluetooth headset manufacturers do the same!
Plantronics is moving in the right direction with their Discovery 6xx series. You can get them with charging adaptors to suit most major brands.
In the end though, wires suck! I'm personally waiting for inductive charging to get small enough to be practical. That, plus UWB or whatever becomes the next short-range wireless standard, would be awesome. Assuming it doesn't break itself randomly, like bluetooth.
Of course, if battery manufacturers can come up with a next-gen batt technology that allows you to recharge your phone once or twice a month with regular use, the type of charging plug becomes less of a hassle!
To paraphrase Groucho Marx...
... These are my standards. If you don't like them, I have others.
Standard chargers
While we are talking about chargers - why is that so many mains chargers coming from Taiwan have the cable coming off the wrong side of a 13-amp plug ?
They can manufacture the pins of the plug alright but bringing the wire out on the wrong side causes blocking on many sockets, especially power-bars.
All they had to do was look at a cable with a plug on the end !!!
The USB spec says that you can't pull more than 100mA unless you've asked for it.
Then you can have up to 500mA, *if* the host root hub says agrees.
On the other hand, if the computer says no, you are limited to 100mA.
That said - 100mA is a reasonable trickle charging current for a low-power device.
My GPS has a 1400mAh cell - so 100mA will charge it in 14 hours.
Unfortunately a lot of USB root hubs provide exactly nothing when the host PC is switched off - and most laptops do this, for fairly obvious reasons.
I'm not sure if any powered USB hubs currently exist that have suitable chipsets to automatically provide 100mA to downstream ports when no host is present, but the standard does permit it.
Will not happen
Put simply, wires are deprecated means of transferring data. Wireless (be that Bluetooth, WiFi, or whatever) is the sensible way to transfer data to and from a phone. Even wired hands free kits could disappear except for the FM radio needing the cable to work as an antenna.
They could I suppose agree on a standard power cable, but then how could they charge 10 quid for a charger with their logo on it?
USB Power
I have something in my hand right now.
It happens to be a standard three pin plug charger with a usb port on it, I got it with a media player I recently purchased.
Provide everyone with one of those too and all sorted on the wall charger front.
If apple can do it, why can't other manufacturers. They've managed a standard headphone socket which is no wider than the mini usb. So i'm sure it would be possible and look at how thin the new Nano's are.
Induction plates.
Why not dispense with chargers altogether, and use a nice, large, multi-device, induction plate. All you would need then is a large flat device, no thicker than 2 CDs/DVDs stacked, lying on your desk (or even built-in) onto which you place - loosely - your phone, mp3 player, PDA, and any other portable device you can think of. Why must this technology be restricted to charging toothbrushes?
I think it's a damn good idea.
Prices on chargers would go down, quality and selection would go up. I have thought for a long time that the large variety of cell phone chargers/jacks/etc is problematic. Some don't work so well, some wear out quickly, and some are just a pain to use. I can't charge my blackberry on my finance's cell phone charger, and she can't use mine. I have to have two car chargers because of this. When I travel with her, I have to take both chargers.
Having a standard format would just be a good thing for everyone.
@ eugene
Seriously, does anybody admit to wearing bluetooth headsets?
Star Trek is not real life! and you probably aren't an unlicensed eastern european cabbie.
Agreed, Sony Ericsson are a big culprit!
I couldn't agree more, I currently have the Walkman w880i and although I think it is a fantastic little handset and has all but nullified my requirement for any other music device, the charger connection is bulky and is also used as an annoying extension onto a standard headphone socket.
Looking at the side profile of the handset I don't think this is an ergonomic choice, rather a stubborness to reply and acknowledge that handsfree and headphones are not the same device and shouldn't be treated as such!
Personally I think phone manufacturers are just terrified of the 3 party peripheral market making a better product than their own that works for every handset, but in the same vein surely they could then do the same against their competitors?
Spot the catch
Notice they're not talking about mini-USB - you know the thing we all already use, and have chargers for - they're talking about micro-USB - whatever the hell that is. Wonderful thing about standards etc.etc.
What's important?
In descending order...
1) Ease of use
2) Battery life
3) Voice clarity
4) Durability (impact, scratch and water resistance)
5) Other features
Unfortunately manufacturers are more concerned about widgets and crap which have no real bearing on the phone's ability to be a bloody phone!
There's a problem?
I find this debate bizzare. I've swapped between mobiles before and happily used the new charger that came with it and used whatever method of connecting it the phone could support. Which also involves new software on the computer.
Never bothered me.
After all, I don't complain my key to my last car does start my new one.
But you would complain if you needed to buy specially designed fuel or components (tyres, etc) to keep your car running, that only the manufacturer could... oh, wait
lol! There already - and not bothered in the slightest!

These are some common side effects of internal radiation during the first week or so after the procedure:
Red-brown urine
Red-brown semen when you ejaculate during an orgasm
Pain or burning when you urinate
Bowel problems, such as diarrhea
These should go away. Ask your doctor or nurse to tell you whether there are any side effects that mean you should call them immediately. You should be able to return to work in three or four days. Some experts recommend limiting your contact with pregnant women and small children during the first few months because the seeds give off a small amount of radiation.
You will also need some follow-up care. The seeds tend to lower the prostate specific antigen (PSA) level gradually, and it can take up to two years to reach its lowest level. The level is not likely to become completely undetectable, even if treatment is successful, because some normal prostate cells will still remain in the body making PSA. You'll need to have your PSA level checked every several months after the procedure for at least a few years--your doctor will discuss a proposed follow-up schedule with you. Some men have a temporary rise in their PSA level between the first and second year after seed treatment. As long as the level does not continue to rise, this is called a benign PSA bump.
The following effects may continue after internal radiation. Or they may not appear until months or years later:
Bowel problems, such as irritation of the lining of the rectum, which could lead to diarrhea or pain during bowel movements
Urinary problems, such as having to go often or inability to completely empty the bladder due to a narrowing of the urethra
Inability to have an erection called erectile dysfunction
Talk with your doctor about ways to cope with these longer lasting side effects.

Did they actually say at any point it was going to be a 1 roll system?
I think that'd work better but havent seen any blue posts about it just people assuming so based on the mastery description (which I dont think you can do).
That aside, responding to some other points:
hold the line isnt just a survival boost talent it also increases threat/dmg so you cant compare it to other survival talents as a %
if it stays 2 roll then the 2 parts of the mastery will scale off each other. By that i mean the more block you get the better crit block chance is and vice versa. That plus diminishing returns on avoidance might explain why at base values it seems underwhelming.
Shield block being garaunteed crit blocks would be too op with it as it is now (60% phys dr for 10sec every 30?) + devalue the mastery bonus even more.

I have searched through all the forums, and either im not finding it or its not there. I am looking for a complete set of gear for the unhittable set for Prot Paladins (lets go with top 3 for each slot if possible).
Also what gems? PURE defense? defense/dodge, defense/parry, agility?
Should i use str food for more block, or agi food for more dodge?
Should i use guru elixir? elixir of might str? or might agi? might defense?
Enchants defense on everything? and agility on everything else? what about bracers? what about shield should i go defense or block value?
i only have 1 tank weapon and 1 tank shield (shiver and boreal guard) should i regem them for this fight then switch my gems back?
Is there anything else i need to know? Sorry I know this is a lot of questions, but I have been reading over A lot of the posts and some of these questions are asked, but not all of them in 1 place.
Thank you VERY much in advance.
I know the warrior loot list and everything is similar, but there are some difference, i would also like to get the perspective of a paladin tank as for consumables, enchants and gems, since we gear a little differently than warriors, and our tier gear is different as well
Can you explain the differences? As far as I know you cant count on your shield charges so you have to gem/gear for 101.6% unhittable and stack as much shield block value as you can.
Other than substituting Pally tier armor can you think of one piece of gear on the "warrior" list you would substitute?
Holy Shield is fairly worthless in the H25 Anubarak situation - 8 charges on an 8 second cooldown vs. 4 of those adds...
Generally the unhittable set and consumables looks exactly the same as for warrior but usually needing another piece of block rating gear, as warriors can talent for 5% more block rating.
Even missing 2 pieces of block rating gear from that list you would be scratching to get enough to reach 101.6% (which is my problem, only missing IC25 gloves and Lavanthor's Talisman), so unless you have collected a lot of gear I wouldn't really advise single-tanking
Not sure if tankspot frowns on linking to other sites, but Maintankadin • View topic - Tanking Anub'Arak heroic adds covers add tanking from a purely paladin standpoint. Like the others have said, their is very little difference between the paladin and warrior approach, other than paladins being 5% in the hole for unhittable.
Their are at least 10 posts between the two sites covering exactly what you asked though. Either your really bad at looking things up or you didn't put any effort behind it.
Paladins get more point for point dodge from agi, was wondering if that would effect how we gem? or should we be useing str food for extra block over agi food?
"If the world is something you accept rather than interpret, then you're susceptible to the influence of charismatic idiots." -Neil deGrasee Tyson
Twitter @Aggathon || @Tankspot || Twitch.Tv/Aggathon
Remember you only need to be 101.6% AFTER full raid buffs and your food and elixir buffs.
Horn of winter + Blessing of Kings + Motw + Agi elixir and def elixir can make up alot of avoidance for the unhittable 101.6% needed for anub add tanking. I find as long as i have about 97.8% unbuffed i can make up enough from buffs to hit 101.6%
im still having trouble getting there, run hvh every day no trinket, ran both toons through naxx 25 and uld 10 and still no boots or cloak, and none on the AH horde or alliance side...
for the 10 man version should i go for unhittable or just dps the adds and boss and not worry so much about the unhittable ?
In my normal tanking gear im at 70.74 avoidance,1817 BV, 41.6k hp unbuffed.
In my block gear, im at 86.29 avoid, 2558 block, 31974 hp
I can swap out a few pieces, like with that gear im wearing the 9.25 helm, but ive got the 8.5 helm i could put on, or i could swap the wyrmguard legplages for the 9.25 legs.
We are on anub and have 46 attemps left. Last week we wiped on him about 15 times. This is for the 10 man heroic, not 25 yet
For the 10 man Its not rly needed to be unhittable. Sure it helps ALOT but its only 2 adds that your tanking , so if you have only 90% unhittable with raid buffs then go ahead, its good enough. And keep building up your set while you guys are progressing week by week.
Atm, id swap in every piece of gear you can to raise the %. That will help you most atm untill you reach 101.6% , after which you can focus on raising BV

College is still expensive and financial aid is still tricky to land, but help is available. From crowdsourced student loans to tuition freezes, here are 10 ways to pay for college, reduce college costs, boost your savings and score more financial aid in 2014.
Compare college finance rates and save for college
As the White House pushes higher education institutions to control their expenses, more colleges are seeking ways to help families understand and minimize their costs, says Daniel Reed, vice president of federal issues for the California Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators and senior financial aid officer for Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego.
"I think the trend is going that way towards freezing tuition or at least reducing the amount of tuition that increases by year," he says.
Several public school systems, including the University of California and Iowa State systems, have already proposed tuition freezes for the upcoming year. Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio, is even going so far as to offer a full four-year scholarship to all admitted 2014 students.
One financial aid change in 2014 will impact dependent children of unmarried and same-sex parents. Under 2013 law, the Free Application for Federal Student Aid -- the document that the federal government uses to assess financial need -- has based a family's financial aid package primarily on the income and assets held by the student and, if unmarried, the parent or legal guardian who claims them as a dependent. This means that in cases of unmarried parents and same-sex marriages that aren't federally recognized, financial information on only one parent has been assessed.
Starting with the 2014-2015 school year, the FAFSA will collect information on both legal parents, regardless of marital status or gender. Though the Department of Education states that "most students will be unaffected," the change could dramatically impact federal aid packages for some students to pay for college, says Barmak Nassirian, director of federal policy analysis for the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, a research and advocacy nonprofit for approximately 420 public four-year institutions.
"When you factor in more aid resources, resources that have historically been excluded, you actually drive down the amount of aid eligibility that the applicant is entitled to," he says.
Federal aid may be harder to get for some students, but aid that isn't based on financial need is increasing. The National Center for Education Statistics reports that the proportion of undergraduates receiving merit-based aid more than doubled from 1996 to 2008 and the average merit award rose from $4,000 to $4,700. Some research and advocacy organizations like the Education Trust and the New America Foundation criticize the shift in merit awards as primarily benefiting wealthier students who have greater access to resources that can make them more academically competitive.
High school might seem like four years of fun, but if you want to cut down some of your college costs, those straight A�s might be more important than your prom date or dress!
Getting good grades and taking higher-level classes are both easy ways to reduce your cost for college. Colleges offer financial aid based solely on grades, not income levels. Look for scholarships early on and meet with your academic adviser to find classes that are more academically challenging.
Need another way to minimize college cost? Knock out a few classes early. Advanced Placement and Dual Enrollment programs are a great way to complete courses that will count toward a college credit while you�re still in high school. Not only will these kinds of programs lower your college cost, they could also make a difference in the college you choose.
And, choose your college carefully. If financial aid is something you need, apply to schools that offer a lot of it. Parents, start creating a college-saving strategy with your teen.
"There used to be twice as much need-based aid as non-need-based aid at public colleges and universities, and now they're about even," says Michael Dannenberg, director of higher education and education finance policy for The Education Trust.
For students of all income levels, increased funds for talented students to pay for college means an increase in the value of top-notch grades and academically challenging courses. To increase merit aid eligibility, students should keep their grades up, start the search for aid awards early and work with their academic advisers to build a rigorous high school curriculum.
With college costs increasing, it's no shock that many borrowers can't pay their student loans. The Department of Education reports that almost 15 percent of all federal loan borrowers default on their student loans within three years of beginning repayment. That's why the government is increasing its outreach to inform qualified borrowers of their income-driven repayment options.
"If you're going to miss payments and this program that exists is sitting there for you that could literally make the difference between you defaulting or staying current, I think that's a huge benefit for a family," says William Wozniak, director of marketing for ISM College Planning in Indiana.
Under the income-driven repayment plans, eligible federal loan borrowers can have their monthly student loan payments capped at 10 percent or 15 percent of their discretionary income and forgiven after 20 or 25 years of consecutive payments, though they'll have to pay taxes on the amount forgiven. Borrowers who work in public service professions will have their debt dismissed after 10 years of repayment without tax consequences. Borrowers can estimate their monthly income-based payments at StudentAid.ed.gov.
Changes also are afoot for some 529 plans. Regulated by individual states, the popular college savings vehicles all provide financial aid advantages and federal tax-free growth on funds, but each has its own fee structure and state tax incentives.
In 2014, some plans will undergo significant changes. For example, North Carolina will end the up to $5,000 state tax deduction it historically has offered to residents who hold in-state plans. Pennsylvania is lowering fees in its 529 plans while Wisconsin is considering a move to increase its state tax incentives.
If you're considering opening a 529 plan, read the terms carefully and do some comparison shopping, says The Education Trust's Dannenberg.
"(A family's) own state's 529 may not be the best choice for a family because of the different fees associated with different plans," he says.
Federal student loans almost always provide better interest rates and borrower protections, but if you need a private loan supplement, new crowdsourced funding sites could potentially provide lending alternatives or better loan terms than traditional financial institutions. While sites like PigIt.com provide a platform that allow "dreamer" college students to raise educational funds by offering incentives like work or gifts in return, Upstart.com offers crowdfunded loans in exchange for a percentage of the borrower's income over the next five to 10 years. The catch with crowdfunded finance is that not everyone gets their campaign fully funded.
"When people put out there that they want to be a doctor or they want to do this or they want to do that and they're at a strong school and they're going to do wonderful things and they have high GPAs, I think those students probably fare better in who's going to get money," says ISM College Planning's Wozniak.
Before starting a campaign, students should make sure to read the site's fine print and compare online financing options to loans offered through the federal government, banks and credit unions.
"A big part of what your price will be is the college you choose, and right now college selection choices are too often underinformed if not irrational," Dannenberg says. "People would be well advised to not simply associate price tag with quality ... That's not true when it comes to higher education."
One of the easiest ways to score financial aid is to apply to schools that offer lots of it to students like you. The National Center for Education Statistics' College Navigator tool can help you find institutions that offer substantial aid packages to families in your income bracket while The Education Trust's College Results Online database can identify colleges that are similar to your dream school in net price and academic competitiveness.
With higher tuition prices and more student debt on the line, Point Loma Nazarene's Reed says that it's even more important for families to financially plan ahead. That means not only creating a college savings strategy early and taking advantage of compound interest, but also having a serious chat about how much debt the family can handle.
"A lot of people tend to think 'someday I'll pay this back,' but really should be thinking about 'should I take out this much money,' and seeing in my chosen career path what my starting salary is," Reed says. "I know that's a hard conversation to have with an 18-year-old traditionally coming into a college experience, but the more we can encourage students and families to think ahead, the better off they'll be on the repayment side."
According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, the average 2013 college graduate had a starting salary of $45,327, with humanities and social science majors ranking lowest with average salaries of $37,791 per year, while engineers bring home more than $62,000 annually. Students can find starting salary information for their majors at NACEweb.org
Having a clear idea of your professional prospects after graduation is even more important for students pursuing credentials beyond the undergraduate level and taking on higher levels of debt. An analysis of Department of Education data by the financial aid site FinAid.org shows that among students holding $100,000 in student loans or more, 9 of 10 were graduate or professional students.
But problems arise when job prospects and post-graduate salaries can't justify the debt. A study by the American Bar Association reveals that just over half of 2012 law graduates found full-time, long-term jobs in the legal profession. The National Science Foundation also has documented a significant drop in academic positions for doctorate degree holders. Architecture grads, who oftentimes spend five years or more obtaining their undergraduate degree, face post-college unemployment rates on par with those who enter the workforce with less than a high school diploma, reports Georgetown University's Center on Education and the Workforce.
An advanced degree still pays off for most working professionals, but doing research on the future job market before enrolling and having a concrete idea of your career prospects can help ensure your ability to pay back hefty loans.
If you can knock out some college credits in advance, do it, Dannenberg says.
"It pays to pursue dual enrollment, advanced placement courses and so forth in order to limit the number of credits one might need to get a degree at the post-secondary level," he says. "Right now, the average bachelor's degree student completes (his or her) degree in five years, not four."
In addition to dual enrollment and advanced placement classes, high school students also can take International Baccalaureate, or IB, and CLEP exams to score college credits at a heavily discounted rate. Another way to reduce the tuition blow is by researching transfer and articulation agreements that allow students to attend a cheaper two-year school for the first few years, then transfer to a pricier four-year institution.
"There are plenty of students who discover these arrangements and can not only minimize costs, but actually upgrade where they would end up graduating from," says Nassirian from the American Association of State Colleges and Universities.

Ready to get the lights in your home under control?
There are lots of systems that let you can press one button on a keypad to operate several fixtures at once. The real challenge is figuring out exactly how you'd like to group the lights and how to label the buttons on your keypad. Just about anything is possible, as lighting control systems can be programmed by a custom electronics (CE) pro to your exact specifications. However, there are really two core concepts when it comes to the design of a lighting control system.
One popular setup is to categorize the lights by type and dedicate a button to controlling each type. For instance, you might have a buttons on a keypad, touchpanel or handheld remote that are labeled table lamp, overhead and sconces. This is a more traditional method of control, not that much different than the way we've always operate the lights, except that you're doing it with buttons on one keypad instead of several individual switches.
Another, more global, approach is to organize the lights by activity. For instance, Party, Evening, movie, Bedtime, could be assigned as buttons to sweep through a room or the entire house, dimming and brightening a variety of different fixtures. Custom electronics (CE) professionals often these types of commands "scenes."
In this beachfront home in Lakeside, Mich., the owners and their CE pro, Ed Buday of Buday's Home Electronics Simplified, Kalamazoo, Mich., chose the second, activity-based setup. In addition to the lights, which include built-in step lights, decorative recessed ceiling fixtures and combination of incandescent, halogen and fluorescent fixtures, the Lutron HomeWorks QS lighting system integrates Lutron Sivoia QS motorized shading into the various settings, effectively combining natural and ambient light to create the perfect level of lighting for specific events. Some of the scenes utilized in this contemporary home include day, evening, late-night, party, dinner, goodnight, away, front, back, movie and art. Thirty-five Lutron keypads are positioned in key areas of the house for activating these scenes. The owners use a Lutron iPad app to set the lights individually or to modify the settings of the scenes.
While the automated lighting is a big part of this home's appeal, many other elements are able to be controlled. An Elan g! system combines the control of the lights and shading with that of 30 thermostats, security alarms and various audio/video equipment. The owners use wall-mounted TS2 Elan touchpanels to summon music any room or the entire house from a docked iPod, satellite receiver or Apple TV—all of which are hidden away in a cabinet. The music travels from the components to in-ceiling Bay Audio speakers.

WASHINGTON - Calling all Jedis: It's time to dust off the old light saber.
May 4, is Star Wars Day. You'll probably hear a lot of fellow Jedis saying, "May the Fourth be with you," for its similarities with the famous quote, "May the force be with you."
The Star Wars website even has a special May the 4th blog with some suggestions on how to celebrate.
"It's a little like Valentine's Day. You might love someone all year long, just like you celebrate Star Wars all year long, but this is a special day devoted to your passion," the posts reads.
Some of the suggestions are to make an R2-D2 cake, dress up (of course) or even do some good deeds in order "to embrace Jedi-like values."
Special events are being planned at Disney's Hollywood Studios.
In D.C., there's even a May the Fourth Be With You flash mob planned.
