Location & area
Sorrento is one of the most romantic and famous tourist attractions in Italy. The main fascination of this town is the serene brilliance of its landscape, the flowering of its gardens, the mildness of its air. Many prefer the mild restful beauty of Sorrento, especially for a holiday, to the wild and rugged beauty of Capri, and the orgy of colour and granite of the coast of Amalfi. The town of Sorrento lies on a stratum of rock of volcanic origin about 50 meters above sea level, and has as its background the green hills of Sant'Agata, Tore, S. Angelo and Colli di Fontanelle, which separate the peninsula into the bays of Naples and Salerno.
From Vico Equense to Massalubrense visitor pass behind a curtain of orange trees, with their blossom in May, and silver olive trees.
Among the visitors who came here to enjoy its serenity for their works are: Goethe, Byron, F. Cooper, Walter Scott, Vittorio Alfieri, Giacomo Leopardi, Alexander Dumas, Ernest Renan, Henrik Ibsen, who wrote Ghosts in 1881. Also here were Giuseppe Verdi, and Longfellow in 1862, Samuel Smiles in 1888, Oscar Wilde, Nietzsche wrote Human, too Human in Sorrento in 1876, and it was here that he had his famous dispute with Wagner. Grieg also wrote several of his "poems" here in Sorrento.
The description of this romantic land, with its orange and lemon groves, vineyards, walnut and almond trees, could be attractive, but in real life is definitely better. The song "Come back to Sorrento" is still on for you.
A visitor, who spends his vacation in Sorrento, has the chance to visit also the nearby ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum and the seaside resorts in the Naples area such as Amalfi, Positano, Capri, Naples itself, Salerno and other beautiful places in the region.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Football: Homewood-Flossmoor rumbles past Sandburg 48-10
By Pat Disabato firstname.lastname@example.com October 4, 2013 11:10PM
Homewood-Flossmoor's Deante Harley-Hampton breaks loose for a touchdown vs. Sandburg. | John Booz/For Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: November 7, 2013 6:29AM
Homewood-Flossmoor may have arrived to Sandburg by bus, but once on the field, the Vikings resembled a runaway locomotive.
And Sandburg had no chance of stopping them.
H-F scored on seven of its first nine possessions and cruised to a 48-10 win over Sandburg in a SouthWest Suburban Blue mismatch.
The win keeps the Vikings (6-0, 4-0) tied atop the standings with Bolingbrook, which visits Flossmoor on Friday.
H-F led 20-0 after one quarter and 41-10 at halftime before calling off the dogs after scoring on its first possession of the second half.
"It was very important to not let those guys (Sandburg) get up early," H-F coach Craig Buzea said. "We got off to a good start, but we still haven't played our best game yet."
The Vikings amassed 359 yards off offense in the first half. Devonte Harley-Hampton (9 carries, 43 yards) scored on runs of 1 and 19 yards and twin brother Deante Harley-Hampton (8 carries, 113 yards) added a 50-yard burst to stake H-F to a 20-0 lead.
With its ground attack running at full throttle, the Vikings turned to their passing game. Quarterback Isaac Cutrara (5-of-7, 187 yards) hooked up with Aaron Gooch on a 22-yard touchdown pass to extend the lead to 27-0 at 8:02 of the second quarter.
After Jonathan Milazzo converted a field goal from 50 yards out to put Sandburg on the board, Cutrara hit James Sheehan for an 80-yard TD pass on the first play of the ensuing possession. That made it 34-3 with 3:10 to go before half.
Cutrara wasn't done. He found Nicholas Atoyebi on a 74-yard bomb just before half to make it 41-3. Vashon Nutt (6 carries, 41 yards) added an 8-yard score in the third quarter.
"We ran the single-wing and it opened our passing game," Cutrara said. "It was great. For us to jump out to a lead like we did, we wanted to make a statement."
The Vikings offensive line of Randall Allen, Darrion Sole, Mylan Reeves, Desmond Bland and Tyler Griffith provided excellent pass and run blocking.
The defense, led by Patrick Johnson (2 sacks), Reginald Howell (interception) and Devante Heard (sack, fumble recovery), held the Eagles to 201 yards of total offense and forced three turnovers.
Brian Langowski had the majority of the Eagles offense, gaining 142 yards on 19 carries, including a 14-yard TD run.
Johnson, however, wasn't completely satisfied with the defense's performance.
"Having them score 10 points is kind of a letdown," he said. "We expect shutouts. We did the job in the second half by not allowing them to score. We still haven't played our best game."
The loss wasn't only costly in the standings for Sandburg (4-2, 3-1). Quarterback Sean Leland left the game with a shoulder injury and likely will be out a minimum of two weeks.

This workshop is planned to present the latest theories and technologies that address carbonate reservoirs and provide more understanding that enable geoscientists and engineers to better characterise those reservoirs. We expect extensive discussion and debate over various technology applications aimed at understanding their values in improving carbonate reservoir characterisation.
Most of the world hydrocarbon reserves exist in carbonate reservoirs. Latest studies showed that sixty percent of the world's oil and forty percent of the world's gas reserves are held in carbonate reservoirs. In the Middle East, which has the most world reserves of hydrocarbons, more than seventy percent of oil reserves and 90 percent of gas reserves are held in carbonate reservoirs. The world produced hydrocarbons from carbonate reservoirs for decades and the potential in those reservoirs is still promising.
Understanding carbonate reservoirs is extremely important to utilise them to their full potential. However, full understanding is faced with several challenges. Mineralogy, geomechanics, diagenesis, and heterogeneity are among the aspects that need to be understood to characterise carbonate reservoirs. Moreover and in relation to what was previously stated, pore size distribution and permeability estimations are among the challenges that need to be overcome. Reservoir rock typing, fluid saturation in mixed salinity environment and wettability are outstanding issues in carbonate characterisation. Dynamic properties of multi-phase fluid flow behaviour at nano scale to wellbore scale are emerging areas of new knowledge in carbonate characterisation.
Several new developments can help in the characterisation of carbonate reservoirs. Geophysical, geomechanical, and petrophysical developed technologies are vital in improving abilities to characterise carbonate reservoirs. NMR and dielectric have helped in bringing new light to carbonate understanding of pore and fluid systems. Integration of geomechanics into reservoir architecture in relation to flow behaviour is an area requiring deeper analysis and interpretation. Residual oil saturation determination and improving recovery factor are also topics of great interest.
SPE Middle East, North Africa and India will assist in providing a visa invitation letter, upon request in writing, to confirmed registrants after receiving full payment of registration fees. Visa invitation letters take five days to issue from the date of request and it is the delegate's responsibility to obtain their own visa. SPE cannot issue the visa nor can we guarantee it will be obtained.
Three (3) days of informal discussions prompted by selected keynote presentations and discussions. Workshops maximise the exchange of ideas among attendees and presenters through brief technical presentations followed by extended Q&A periods. Focused topics attract an informed audience eager to discuss issues critical to advancing both technology and best practices. The majority of the presentations are in the form of case studies, highlighting engineering achievements and lessons learnt. In order to stimulate frank discussion, no proceedings are published and the press is not invited to attend.
The Steering Committee encourages registrations from professionals who are able to prepare and present a poster on a relevant project. For further details kindly contact Caroline Attenborough, event manager at email@example.com.
Registrations will be accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis. The Steering Committee encourages attendance from those who can contribute to the workshop most effectively either in discussions or with posters. A mix of attendees in terms of geographic origin, companies and disciplines will be encouraged.
In keeping with ATW objectives and the SPE mission, commercialism in posters or presentations will not be permitted. Company logos must be limited to the title slide and used only to indicate the affiliation of the presenter and others involved in the work.
All attendees will receive an attendance certificate attesting to their participation in the workshop. This certificate will be provided in exchange for a completed Workshop Questionnaire.
Attendees at this workshop qualify for SPE Continuing Education Units (CEU) at the rate of 0.1 CEU per hour of the workshop.

All hell broke loose yesterday when Instagram released a new Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, which led people to believe that the company planned to sell any user's photos without notifying or compensating said user.
Now co-founder of the photograph app, Kevin Systrom, has released a letter saying that this is not the case. Instead they are working to create advertisements for businesses on Instagram. Apparently, this affects you by simply giving them access to your followers who also follow the business, your profile photo, and any other date you produce that can help promote the business.
From the start, Instagram was created to become a business. Advertising is one of many ways that Instagram can become a self-sustaining business, but not the only one. Our intention in updating the terms was to communicate that we'd like to experiment with innovative advertising that feels appropriate on Instagram. Instead it was interpreted by many that we were going to sell your photos to others without any compensation. This is not true and it is our mistake that this language is confusing. To be clear: it is not our intention to sell your photos. We are working on updated language in the terms to make sure this is clear.
To provide context, we envision a future where both users and brands alike may promote their photos & accounts to increase engagement and to build a more meaningful following. Let's say a business wanted to promote their account to gain more followers and Instagram was able to feature them in some way. In order to help make a more relevant and useful promotion, it would be helpful to see which of the people you follow also follow this business. In this way, some of the data you produce — like the actions you take (eg, following the account) and your profile photo — might show up if you are following this business.
Systrom also claims that your photos will not be used for advertising, you still have full ownership of them and that nobody can access your photos if you have a private account. They seem to blame all of the confusion on misinterpretation of the original policies, but plan to iron everything out before the changes take place in 30 days.
Still seems fishy to me. You can read the entire letter here.

Knoxville (WVLT) - The Tennessee Valley Authority is moving forward with plans to build a second nuclear reactor in East Tennessee.
T.V.A. awarded Bechtel Power Corporation the rights to become the main engineering, procurement and construction contractor for construction of a second reactor at the Watts Bar Nuclear Station in Spring City.
The five-year project is budgeted at nearly 2.5 billion dollars.
Bechtel is eligible for one billion dollars of the budget.
Bechtel is the country's largest nuclear contractor.
Meanwhile, for the fifth time in four months, T.V.A.'s unit one reactor at the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant in Athens, Alabama is shut down.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission says the reactor was operating at full power Friday morning when a turbine trip forced it to shut down automatically.
A spokesperson for Browns Ferry says the unit two and unit three reactors are continuing to operate at full power.
To comment, the following rules must be followed:
Comments may be monitored for inappropriate content, but the station is under no legal obligation to do so.

[Part One] Pride Socks – Wear Your Freedom, Rock Your Style
May 13th, 2013 | No Comments » | by kristel
[Buster wishes Pride Socks fit on her little paws]
As you know, I only feature products on this blog that I like and handpick myself. Sometimes I am lucky enough to feature products that I adore and fully endorse, like Pride Socks. This company immediately caught my eye with their awesome rainbow colored vintage style tube socks and after doing a bit of research, I also fell in love with their message and back story.
Pride Socks is about being proud of who you are so you have the confidence to achieve your dreams. This can be interpreted in so many different ways and I love that. These socks and the positivity of their message is totally up to you. Every order comes with these cute stickers (shown below) so you can write down your proudest moment and display it proudly. Ultimately, it's all about feeling good about yourself and your accomplishments.
Owner Rachel Smith was always obsessed with socks even as a child. She was one of five siblings, born and raised by Deaf parents, who revealed that job opportunities and income were limited growing up. They often recycled clothing between siblings and matching, hole-less socks became a commodity in their household. The challenges Smith's family encountered bonded them and also established her strong appreciation for diversity in others. As she states on her website, "At Pride Socks, we believe when people are proud of who they are, where they are and what they do in live, they can and will accomplish their dreams."
These socks come in a variety of different styles (but all with the same vintage rainbow theme). We received the white low cuts, black low cuts, and a nice throwback to the 80′s: white under the knee socks. They also make business socks if you want to proud and fancy at work!
Need another pick-me-up today? Check out their Proudest Moments blog to read their uplifting and inspiring customer stories.
Tomorrow Kimi and I will be showing off our Pride Socks here on Craft in the City. Stay tuned!
Chompers also loves Pride Socks!
What's your proudest moment? Post it in the comments! Stay tuned for tomorrow's special post!

Google's Gap, IBM's Trap: Tech Winners & Losers
(Updates from 12:00 p.m. ET with closing information.)
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Google (GOOG) shares extended gains on Friday after the Internet search giant beat Wall Street earnings expectations for the first quarter.
The Mountain View, Calif.-based company reported earnings of $11.58 per share on $13.97 billion in revenue after the closing bell. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters were expecting $10.66 per share on $14.09 billion in revenue.
Shares were adding 3% to $788.35.Earnings were aided by an 8% tax rate during the quarter. On the conference call, CFO Patrick Pichette noted this was helped by an R&D tax credit from 2012 that was only retroactively applied in 2013, as well as a mix in earnings. Wall Street was largely positive on the results, with analysts telling investors the long-term trend is intact. ""The company's core growth remains above industry levels for both online advertising and ecommerce, and with the rollout of Enhanced Campaigns and PLA overseas, and Display continuing to show material traction, we expect to see further improvement to monetization in 2H:13 and 2014," wrote Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Youssef Squali.
IBM (IBM) shares were plunging 7.1% to $192.46 after the software and services giant missed earnings expectations for the first time in a while. IBM reported $23.4 billion in revenue, down from $24.7 billion year-over-year, and missing Wall Street's forecast of $24.6 billion. On a non-GAAP basis, IBM earned $3 a share, up from $2.78 a share in the prior year's quarter. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters were looking for earnings of $3.05 a share. IBM said earnings were affected by a weaker Japanese yen, which shaved 7 cents per share from earnings. Concerns about a slowing global economy were brought to light in CEO Ginni Rometty's prepared remarks. "Despite a solid start and good client demand we did not close a number of software and mainframe transactions that have moved into the second quarter," Rometty said in the press release. IBM reiterated its fiscal 2013 earnings forecast of at least $16.70, excluding items. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters are looking for earnings of $16.77.
Microsoft (MSFT) shares were rising 3.5% to $29.81 after the company beat estimates, and announced CFO Peter Klein was stepping down from the company.

Pot Leaf isn't a Bad Thing After All
In scientific terms, Cannabis or commonly known as marijuana has functions as a psychoactive drug and/ or used medically. As a psychoactive drug, it can act as a stimulant, depressant, or hallucinogen. In effect, the person using such will experience change in perception and mood. Other physiologic effects include increased heart rate, increased appetite and a lot more. It is for this reason that marijuana became illegal to most parts of the world. But medically speaking, it all has its advantages. It can alleviate the feeling of nausea and vomiting, and can help increase the appetite of cancer and AIDS patients. But of course, since it is declared illegal, a doctor's examination of the patient and his prescription is required. This is an interesting plant in which many are curious of. For some, wearing something with the cannabis leaf may mean that they are "cool." It is for this reason that there are handkerchiefs, socks, shirts with the cannabis leaf printed on them. There are even pot leaf belt buckles sold over the internet.
No matter what the reason of the person has for wearing such, it is his own way of expressing himself. Just because he is wearing pot leaf belt buckles, doesn't prove that he is a user of an illegal drug. So if you yourself would want to have a marijuana designed accessory on you, then why not choose from Hot Buckles' wide array of pot leaf belt buckles for sale. What is so good about this specific online store is that it takes pride in its affordable prices without compromising their quality. These are buckles are sold individually without the belt so if you have more than one buckle design that you like, you can buy as many as you want with only buying one belt. All you have to do is change the buckle to fit your outfit or the occasion.
Hot Buckles is not limited only to pot leaf belt buckles but rather, they have over thousands of designs ranging from sports related to western designs. They even have buckles that are for specifically designed for kids. Now that sounds terrific, right? From the name itself, they brag about their buckles to be of supreme quality. So if you want one or more, you can just browse through their page online and once you have chosen the best, you can order it and have it shipped to your doorstep. You won't even know it that you have your own collection of belt buckles!

Group works to find help for KC's homeless veterans
A Kansas City-area group is working to help many of the up to 2,000 homeless veterans in the area as winter approaches.
Plans are in the works for the Heart of America Stand Down on Nov. 8. Organizers said they want to use the event to raise awareness about homeless veterans and how they can help end it.
The Heart of America Stand Down began in 1993 to help homeless veterans when it was clear that the Bureau of Veterans Affairs can't help everyone. The day is dedicated to giving the veterans a warm meal and access to resources that can help them, including legal assistance, substance-abuse counselors, haircuts, eye exams, clothing and job and housing assistance.
Organizers said there's a shortage of winter boots, ponchos and first-aid kits that the veterans will need to get through the winter. They said they can't get these supplies from their usual sources and hope the public can help.
President Barack Obama has set a goal of eliminating veteran homelessness by 2015.

If you haven't checked it out yet – you need to see the new ZNA30 variable wattage/variable voltage mod. This amazing device is designed and built by Zen over at house of hybrids. He's been building his own mods for years, but the ZNA30 introduces a radical shift in the world of regulated mods.
So what is a regulated mod? Well it means there's a chipset and you have buttons to control things like voltage and wattage. When you're vaping, this allows you to dial in just the right setting to control the warmth of the vapor you want to produce.
The ZNA30 is based on the DNA30 chipset which means the device will deliver regulated power up to 30 watts. This is amazing. Its a first in the area of regulated mods and it has more power than anything offered to date.
The other amazing thing about the ZNA30 is the design. Its inspired largely by 1930′s Art Deco so its got a really cool look. It reminds me of something right out of the movie Metropolis. Also worth noting is that Zen makes his own custom metal finishes so the devices look like nothing else on the market. They are extremely unique and beautiful.
So if you haven't seen them yet – head over to House of Hybrids and check them out. They're hard to get a hold of at the moment, but if you can be patient for a few months, they should be in steady production.

Dr. Puff's work is making good people better. He's giving them the tools to empower themselves to improve their own lives. His work is instrumental in helping people move forward in their lives…
Dear Dr. Puff,
First off I would like to thank the both of you. You guys have truly changed my life! A few weeks ago my life was miserable and out of control. There was so much going on and I was always so depressed, sad, and had basically just give up on life. I had hit my wits end when my roommate called me stupid. I realized that I had to do SOMETHING in order to create a happier life, before I REALLY DID DO SOMETHING STUPID!
I did some online research and found your website. I have viewed all of your shows and now I am a completely changed person. My health is better, I am off drugs, my feelings toward life and the people in it is better, and my overall appreciation and quality of life has changed TREMENDOUSLY!
I am 20 years old and I live in Boca Raton, FL. To be honest my hobbies used to be going out, doing drugs, and just numbing all my problems. But now my hobbies have changed. I love going on nature walks, I love to meditate twice a day, I love going out with my friends without getting too drunk, I love spending time with my family and cat =). Actually, this morning I found out that I had a nature trail in my neighborhood that I never even knew about!
Once again, thank you for your insight, helpfulness, and love. Keep up with your shows they truly are inspiring!

The following was written by Dr. Deborah Serani, author of
Depression and Your Child: A Guide for Parents and Caregivers.
Thank you Dr. Serani for sharing your story with us!
* * * * * * * * * *
Depression and Your Child: Backstory
"Depression and Your Child" grew out of my experience of being a psychologist who specializes in the treatment of pediatric depression. I wanted to write a parenting book to raise awareness about depressive disorders in children, teach parents how to find treatment, offer tips for creating a healthy living environment and highlight important adult parenting matters such as self-care, romance and well-being.
I also wrote this book because I have lived with depression since I was a child. As is the case with pediatric depression, my own depression didn't hit with lightening-like speed. It was more of a slow burn, taking its toll in gnaws and bites before hollowing me out completely. After a suicide attempt as a college sophomore, I found medical help that finally reduced my depression. Until then, I accepted the sadness, despair and overwhelming fatigue "as the way my life just was." I never realized, nor did my parents, teachers, friends or family, that I had a clinical disorder. I've since turned the wounds from my childhood into wisdom as an adult - and believe that sharing the textures of my experiences with depression will help parents realize what their own depressed child is going through.
My emotional journey as a child with chronic depression has taken me from sadness to despair, through adversity to resolve. Through it all, I discovered within myself hidden reserves of strength and spirit—what many in the field call resilience. Spending the last decade writing about depression and advocating for those who experience mental illness has become the silver lining of my depressive cloud. I hope that my story will serve as an encouraging reminder that depression can be treated . . . and that there should be no shame in living with mental illness.
More than anything else, I want "Depression and Your Child" to offer hope. As a clinician, proper diagnosis and treatment can be life-changing and life saving. As a person living with depression, I have found successful ways to lead a full and meaningful life. I want parents and children who struggle with depression to feel this hope too – and in these pages, that's what you'll find.

Apple gets judicial reprieve, damage limited by Judge to $8 million payment in infringement case
After winning the first suit, Personal Audio filed a second lawsuit claiming that the same patents were infringed upon by the Apple iPhone 4 and Apple iPad 2. The Judge has told the patent portfolio firm that the $8 million is all that they will get from Apple for this patent. In his decision, Judge Clark said, "The court finds that the jury's selection of lump sum as the appropriate form of reasonable royalty clearly represents a damages award giving Apple a fully paid up license that covers all past and future use of the patented technology."
Personal Audio had originally filed the suit against Apple in 2009 seeking $84 million in damages related to the infringement by Apple of two patents. The case, Personal Audio LLC v. Apple Inc., 09cv111, U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, dealt with the invention of an audio player that can receive playlists that can be navigated forward and backward through a downloaded list.

I agree, apple already paid for infringing. They shouldn't have to pay anymore. They have a license now to use that patent.
3. pete7625 (banned) (Posts: 86; Member since: 01 Jul 2010)
Lol, I agree, they should get some money from them, but banning them from the U.S. Is just ridiculous. Especially since they're using other people's patents.
4. remixfa (Posts: 14168; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
lol, just another piece of iHypocracy.
Also yea, the one lump sum should have been enough unless they went for a payment system the way HTC has to pay MS per phone. Pick one or the other, ya dont get to keep suing for the same thing.
10. ladyhaly (Posts: 106; Member since: 17 Jan 2011)
That's double jeopardy.
15. Whateverman (Posts: 3233; Member since: 17 May 2009)
I'm not really sure where I stand on this one and it has nothing to do with what's happening now between Google and Apple.
If Microsoft can force companies to pay royalties per unit, then why isn't Personal Audio allowed to collect those same kinds of royalties if the own the patents? And these are for different products also. If a person has been assaulted and the assailant is prosecuted, if that assaulted is released and assault that same person, they double jeopardy doesn't apply. So this is really one for the Supreme Court, IMHO.
5. downphoenix (Posts: 2415; Member since: 19 Jun 2010)
Apple has more than enough money. Is the judge an apple fanboy?
6. pete7625 (banned) (Posts: 86; Member since: 01 Jul 2010)
Of course they have enough money, but they shouldn't have to pay twice for the same crime so to speak. Like remixfa said above, they can't keep suing for the same thing.

I think Steve should pull a fast one and trick iPhone 5 buyers with an unexpected early release.....I mean EARLY.
Get on the mic during a news conference and announce....
"Introducing the new iPhone 5, available for purchase................in 20 minutes. GO!"
And then watch the chaos ensue.

These personal audio guys are patent trolling. They should innovate instead of suing.
9. HitdatNigga (Posts: 3; Member since: 01 Aug 2011)
Thats what everyone says about apple
11. ladyhaly (Posts: 106; Member since: 17 Jan 2011)
What's funny is that both Microsoft and Apple are both engaged in underhanded business tactics, taking in innovations seen in other products and applying it to their own new products and when they get some bit of karma, they have the guts to sue and ban against those devices that get to rival theirs. They are trying to go for a monopoly, which shouldn't be allowed as it's the company who benefits and the consumers end up having no options and having to pay more. Proprietary. That's what those two companies are and it disgusts me. You don't have to do underhanded stuff just to make good money.
22. Darth8ball (unregistered)
they did innovate and Apple stole that innovation. That is why they had to pay. I think you are the troll here. You should quit trying to understand anything more complex than tying your shoes
12. dandirk (unregistered)
I do find it odd that a one lump sum is considered as payment for both past and future use. Doesn't seem American. I could see past infringement compensation. Then apple would either have to cut a deal or work around the patent for future use.
Murky issue cause by the description the patent is a vague simple piece of s**t...may as well patent walking or breathing.
These are patent trolls which is its own pain in the arse.
Wonder why Google can't just pay 10-20 mill and call it done if the time comes. Maybe they can... we are not patent lawyers.

they should be able to get more money, apple messed up again on new items and there for are making more money off of there patent
16. dionddc (Posts: 129; Member since: 19 Jul 2011)
Apple needs to stop blaming others for copying and start fixing themselves first.
23. Darth8ball (unregistered)
The 8 million should be for the past infraction (penalty) any future use should be paid for after a negoitiated price. If you steal and get caught, and are ordered to pay a fine by a judge, do you get to keep what you stole and then take some more, I think not.

Called "Appillionaires: Secrets from Developers Who Struck It Rich on the App Store", the book reveals that success in this cottage industry has been often in the form of lucking it out, and sometimes came after numerous failures and doomed app attempts, no matter how much money, focus groups and resources went into them.
Yet, it turns out as probable for small mom-and-pop shops to become "Appillionaires", as it is for established publishers with budget allocation techniques, marketing studies and so on. The book description entices you to read with the following snippets:
• Meet the submarine commander who programs hit apps in his spare time.
• Meet the two brothers from Croatia who grew up to sell over ten million copies of their homemade iPhone game Doodle Jump.
• Get tips from the husband and wife team from Washington DC who made millions with their 99¢ App, Harbor Master – all based on an idea they came up with on a sailing trip.
• Discover how the journey to Angry Birds almost bankrupted the company that created it. And much, much more...
In short, success with publishing on the App Store is neither guaranteed, nor all that elusive, but once again the theme of luck seemingly runs throughout the book, encouraging those who consider every app possible already done or thought about, to give it a chance.

I think this is my favorite thing about The App Store...as well as other online store fronts. Normal people can break into a national store front without trying to find publishing companies. Hell, I can put my music on iTunes without a label. True, it's hard to become popular with all that competition, but when it does work...everyone is on it.
This is one thing I hope never changes. Both independent developers and software firms can find success.

As we are relocating, my fabulous Sri Lankan maid is available in the Golf Gardens /Al raha gardens area.
I really cant speak highly enough of her and so would like to see her settled with a good family.
She is ideally looking for a house in the Golf Gardens community where we stay or in the Al raha garden area.
She would not want to move out of this area as her husband who lives with her ( we provide them accomodation in our maid's room) washes cars in this compound. He would lose his jobs which makes them save a bit to send home.
He is NOT on our sponsorship but they are legally married and he has a letter from his sponsor saying he is allowed to stay out.
She would want to be employed by someone who can provide both of them accomodation.
Her husband is only rarely seen and never heard, so they will not be a disturbance.
She has been with us for 3.5 years now and as our circumstances have changed we have to move out of UAE and hence the hunt for a family for her.
Please pm if interested. She would be an asset to anyone.

28.01.07 - 1. Manny Pacquiao 43-3-2 (33 KOs) - The year 2006 was a great year for the "Pacman". He practically dominated the year two spectacular wins over Erik Morales and taking tough tune-up against Oscar Larios. He is scheduled to face WBC Featherweight Champion In Jin Chi this April. However, with the promotional turbulence he is having I believe that Pacquiao's reign will be in serious trouble this year..
2. Floyd Mayweather Jr. 37-0-0 (25 KOs) - Pretty Boy Floyd is scheduled to face boxing superstar and six-time world champion Oscar De La Hoya this May. A win over the Golden Boy will punctuate his claim as one of the best fighters ever. At stake in that fight will be the WBC Super Welterweight Championship which De La Hoya claimed by defeating Nicaraguan Ricardo Mayorga.
3. Winky Wright 51-3-1 (25 KOs) - The best technical fighter in boxing defeated another former Welterweight champion in Ike "Bazooka" Quartey. He is still in seek for a serious challenge this year. A rematch between him and Middleweight king Jermain Taylor will be the most probable fight for Winky. However, if he wants to explore new things and capture furthermore greatness then he should move-up challenge somebody like Joe Calzaghe.
4. Marco Antonio Barrera 63-4-0 (42 KOs) - After having two successful defenses against Rocky Juarez, Marco Antonio Barrera looked forward to a mega fight rematch with Manny Pacquiao that was suppose to be scheduled early March of this year. However, with Pacquiao's trouble with promoters, managers etc. the proposed mega fight came crumbling down early this month. Barrera settled with a familiar Pacquiao opponent in the presence of former WBA/IBF Featherweight champion and current WBO Interim Featherweight champion Juan Manuel Marquez. His much anticipated showdown with Marquez is scheduled this March.
5. Rafael Marquez 36-3-0 (32 KOs) - After a successful reign as the main man at 118, the explosive Rafael Marquez decided to move-up in weight and challenge Super Batamweight king Israel Vazquez. He will try to capture his second world title in two weight division with a win against Magnifico. The explosive fight is scheduled this April and will be shown on a major television network in the U.S.
6. Joe Calzaghe 42-0-0 (31 KOs) - The Pride of Wales had a successful run last year by defeating two tough opponents. He recently challenged ring legends like Roy Jones Jr. and Bernard Hopkins. However, these fights may have to wait or probably impossible to some. Calzaghe will put his Super Middleweight throne to line against reality television Contender Finalist Peter Manfredo Jr. this April.
7. Miguel Cotto 28-0-0 (23 KOs) - Cotto's is perhaps the next big thing coming from the Island of Puerto Rico. He has captured his second world title by defeating undefeated fellow Boricua Carlos Quintana last December. He is scheduled to face tough Oktay Urkal this March and probably take on the winner of the Antonio Margarito-Paul Williams WBO Championship fight.
8. Jermain Taylor 26-0-1 (17 KOs) - Bad Intentions had a dismal performance against former Junior Middleweight Champion Kassim Ouma. Improvements have rarely been seen to Taylor's game since his win over long time Middleweight King Bernard Hopkins in 2005. A rematch between him and Winky Wright is probable to happen. Beating Winky impressively will definitely boost his claim as one of the best fighters in world. But a possible departure from the Middleweight division is also speculated from Taylor.
9. Wladimir Klitschko 47-3-0 (42 KOs) - Klistchko is probably the best Heavyweight out there. He has proven his dominance in 2006 by defeating long time IBF Champion Chris Byrd by knockout and flattening previously undefeated Calvin Brock down to the canvas. He is scheduled to face another tough Heavyweight challenger from the U.S.A Ray Austin.
10. Ricky Hatton 42-0-0 (30 KOs) - The Hitman came back with a bang by defeating undefeated Juan Urango for the WBA Junior Welterweight Championship. He captured his third championship belt in two divisions with his win. Hatton is now scheduled to face tough Mexican warrior Jose Luis El Temible Castillo this coming June.

You should log out in your tanking gear. Or use a profiler to display it.
I've been tanking as a DK since the WOW-LK came out, up to patch 3.2 i was doing fine as a tank, now with the 3.2 patch, i really suck as a tank.
My problem is not with aggro, its with taking way too much damage. I've been asking healers if they are having problems healing me and if it is harder for them to heal me than a paladin or warrior tanks, and all of them are saying the same thing it is a lot harder to heal DK tanks than any other class.
One of the main that comes to mind is shields and shield block, seems to be a huge benefit to pally and warrior tanks that DKs do not have.
Parry, seems like having too much parry is really not good for a DK because of parry haste from bosses. That leaves us with dodging only.... not enought of a avoidance to really do raid tanking.
I ok with lower level tanking (heroics, naxx10/25, etc...) because i am over geared for them, but when it comes to (ulduar10/25, toc10/25) it is really hard for a healer to keep up with the damage i am taking. Seems like pallies and warrior with comparable gear are a LOT easier to heal.
Anyone have any ideas ? are they going to upgrade some of DK tanking abilities in next patch ? Any Comments on DK tanking ?
US/laughing skull/windeath <---- if you want to look at my gear in wow-heroes
You should log out in your tanking gear. Or use a profiler to display it.
if you press the frost or blood links ... it will change my gears ... so you can see both spec gearing.
Regarding links, it's considered appropriate to link the profile in question, whether to armory, wowheroes or wherever.
My immediate suggestion is to shift glyphs. I consider the set of Howling Blast, Obliterate & Frost Strike ideal for Frost tanking. Ob/FS are purely for dps/threat, but HB is to get Frost Fever up on targets as quickly as possible. The 20% slow effect from Frost Fever makes a notable difference in melee damage on you, and having it up quickly is an important avoidance tactic.
Also, the IBF glyph serves no useful purpose for tanking.
Your spec is typical, nothing that is obviously going to get you killed or is a 'poor' choice.
Gear wise, I think you have more avoidance than I, though you have notably less stamina (gems, enchants, etc.) than possible. The 'smaller' health pool makes it a more difficult task for healers, as they respond with large changes in health pools with small, ineffecient heals. Large health pools give more leeway, and healers shift to larger heals as you're not dropping like a rock.
Replace chest with 275 hp (instead of 200), and change gems to stamina cuts. The Vivid cut in your shoulders is a good example, though you can use Regal (dodge/stamina, purple) and Enduring (defense/stamina, green) with Solid (stamina, blue) gems to fill all your sockets. You will lose some avoidance, but pick up stamina.
Finally, replace the Rune of Repulsion. Okay trinket, but a stamina trinket would be far, far better instead of parry, Essence if Gossamer and The Black Heart both come to mind.

You can truly design who you become. While this statement is liberating, it also places an enormous amount of responsibility in your hands. If existence fulfills whatever you ask of it, what will you possibly choose? And how will you achieve it?
People don't easily pursue self-exploration because they know it may require them to profoundly change their lives. However, successful human beings are not afraid to take a good, honest look at themselves because they realize that all real change begins with awareness.
Successful people are also not afraid to invest in themselves, just as they would see the importance of investing in their business if they wanted it to flourish. They understand the importance of continual self-growth, and they know that the clarity, focus, and confidence they gain while working with a coach will help accelerate their lives.
Life coaching is not only for the wealthy and for celebrities; people don't have mentors and coaches because they are successful… they are successful because they have mentors and coaches! Napoleon Hill touches upon this when he discusses the extraordinary power of a 'Master Mind' in his famous book Think & Grow Rich. A Master Mind = "a mind that is developed through the harmonious cooperation of two or more people [i.e. you and I] who ally themselves for the purpose of accomplishing any given task [i.e. your goal or dream]."
Napoleon Hill also notes that knowledge alone is not power… it is only potential power. True power is "organized knowledge, expressed through intelligent efforts," which is what you are I will work together to create. True power.
Many of my clients already feel as if their lives are on the right path, and they just need someone to add the extra 'rocket fuel' to help them soar. Others feel completely lost, stuck, or out of hope. Most people fall somewhere in between: they are successful in one or several areas of their lives, but are confused as to why they are vastly lacking in other areas that they are now realizing are important to their long-term fulfillment.
No matter what your unique situation may be, the key is for you and I to get together and clarify what you really want from each area of your life—your innermost values and goals—and what, exactly, is keeping you from achieving them. Until you become clear about your deepest intentions as well as the reason for your delays (inner conflict, fear, lack of focus, etc.) it is difficult for providence to move for you, or for any real and consistent development to occur.
As we work together, we'll create a blueprint for your success, and I'll provide you with a set of strategies and behaviors to keep you on track. I'll also hold you accountable for accomplishing milestone goals along the way, so there will be no procrastinating or lying to yourself about what you set out to do during your breakthrough moments of clarity.
Remember: It may be easy for you to sit down in a moment of peace and map out the healthiest, clearest, most beneficial plan for your life, but once you're back in the storm, those best-laid plans often disintegrate. That's why it's important to have a compassionate and experienced life coach at your side to keep you encouraged, focused, and always progressing steadily toward your goals.
And here is a video I created, inspired by Max Ehrmann's prose-poem "Desiderata."
I hope it brings you peace. (For the poem in written form, click here.)

What do you do AFTER the kids grow up? I COOK!
This is for my friends in Seattle who are getting hammered with snow right now.
I hate to tell you that it's 77 degrees here today.
I thought this was cute.
Thank you, Donna. It's 19 degrees here right now…all the snow that fell is frozen and sheets of ice still cover the streets and sidewalks.
I want to be over there!
The good news? Rain is coming back tomorrow! Whee! I can't wait! (I never thought I'd be so happy for the rain. Sad, really.)
Love you. Keep your chin up.
It is so cold in my work building that a snowball would not be able to melt. Remember Mo and I work for the same institution. I too get freaked when I need to bare my skin in the restroom. Nothing worse than a cold butt. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I am sure you are cooking up a storm. You have so much to be thankful for esp that perfect granddaughter. Hugs to all.
The things you ought to do to discover more on watch well before you are left behind….

Are you a competitive party-thrower? Feel the need to out-sparkle everyone during the holidays? Blurb identifies a bit more with John Stewart than with Martha Stewart, but we do appreciate the occasional entertaining tip. Here's our most innovative insight for the 2007 holiday season: Turn a 7X7 book into a custom-printed party invitation.
I've seen someone turn a 7X7 book into a printed invite. The event was a 50th birthday and every spread featured photos in chronological order with sassy quotes and comments. The final spread contained the party date, time, location, and RSVP details. The invitation was so unbelievably personal, thoughtful, and moving that I've kept it on my desk since May, just waiting for the right moment to share the idea.
Now, with the holidays just weeks away, Blurbarians have to get in on this book action for their parties. Emailed invites can fall flat when opened along with everything else in your cluttered in-box. Even a nice retro letterpress invitation is kind of status quo these days. But, like strong cocktails, a book-turned-invitation is a guaranteed hit on the party circuit. Blurb's volume discounts make this even more manageable. Find some complementary 8 1/2 X 8 1/2 Square envelopes, send them out, then sit back and await your RSVPs. You can safely expect the kind of positive feedback that only a flip-the-page-and-blow-their-mind book invitation can generate.
Has anybody else done this yet? Do tell.

A new Dartmouth-led study suggests the AFL-CIO's plan to partner with progressive non-union groups may be easier said than done.
The AFL-CIO's campaign to align with nontraditional allies is intended to broaden the group's influence - the proportion of American workers belonging to a union fell to 11.3 percent last year, the lowest figure the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has ever recorded - but the study's findings underscore the difficulties the AFL-CIO will likely face when it has to share power and negotiate objectives with its new partners.
The study, published in the journal Mobilization, looks at two of the most significant coalition labor movements in the last half-century, both in Charleston, S.C. Researchers compared a successful dockworkers' protest campaign (2000-2001) with a much-ballyhooed but ultimately less-successful hospital workers' strike (1969). In both cases, the disgruntled workers turned to outside groups for help. The key difference, the authors conclude, is that the hospital employees became too reliant on their partners, while the dockworkers managed to stay in control.
"The AFL-CIO's new initiative holds the promise of building a broader and more inclusive political movement, but it will be no easy task," said Marc Dixon, associate professor of sociology at Dartmouth and the paper's first author. "This study shows that labor groups working in coalition campaigns need to be able to negotiate the steep power imbalances often involved if they want to see success."
