Kirk Hinrich was John Wall's teammate during the 2010-11 season.
In Hinrich years, that's a long time ago, a lot of ice tubs and taped body parts ago.
"No, nothing like that,'' Hinrich said Friday when asked if he helped mentor Wall, a rookie that season. "The relationship was good. I got along great with him. You could tell he had great athleticism, great talent but also a knack for playing the point-guard position.
"[Former NBA guard] Sam Cassell was there, too. He did a lot of the mentoring. If I taught him anything, it was probably just by example.''
Now it's not about teaching Wall. It's about slowing the All-Star guard. That's no easy assignment for Hinrich as he prepares for the first-round playoff series against the Wizards.
"It was evident early on when [Wall] first came into the league how good he could be,'' Hinrich said. "He was really good as a rookie. I think he's a smart player, and I think he's just naturally maturing over the last couple of years. He was an All-Star this year. He's had a great year, and he poses a challenge for any team that faces him.''
The defensive-minded Bulls have been no exception.
Wall averaged 20.6 points and eight assists against the Bulls as the Wizards won two of three regular-season meetings. Wall had 20 points in the Wizards' loss to the Bulls on April 5, but the Bulls turned him into a jump shooter instead of a penetrator.
The good news is they're used to facing a player with Wall's speed almost every day in practice: Derrick Rose. The bad news is knee injuries have sidelined Rose for all but 10 games the last two seasons.
"Everybody wanted to compare them — same [college] coach [John Calipari], one-and-done, No. 1 picks, and there are some [similarities],'' Hinrich said of the Rose-Wall talk. "I think their ability is similar in how they use their speed and athleticism, the size at their position.''
Hinrich only spent a relatively short time with Wall. The Wizards traded him to the Hawks during the season, so Hinrich has watched Wall grow from afar.
"Well, we have to be good as a team in transition,'' Hinrich said when asked about dealing with Wall's up-tempo style. "You have to get guys back, form a wall, low to the ball. It's easier to talk about than do.''
That's what the Bulls concentrated on during practice Friday at the Berto Center — making sure all five players on the court were ready for Wall and the headaches he can create from a spacing standpoint.
"I feel like I'm back in grade school, getting asked so many questions by [coach Tom Thibodeau],'' reserve big man Taj Gibson said. "He's drilling you. You've got to know everything. It's like a pop quiz every five minutes, but it's a part of the game.''
The Bulls also could use versatile swingman Jimmy Butler on Wall, especially when Hinrich rests.
"You're not going to slow Wall one-on-one,'' Thibodeau said. "His speed is terrific. Makes and misses, they push it hard. We have to be ready for that.''
NOTES: The NBA announced that the ties for teams that finished the regular season with identical records were broken through a random drawing to help determine the draft order.
The Bulls edged the Raptors to earn the 19th pick rather than the 20th. The Bulls already own the Bobcats' first-round pick, 16th overall.
◆ Center Joakim Noah (bereavement) missed practice Friday. He was expected back Saturday.

Insurance rates in flood zones to rise101 policies affected
Recently, some 25 islanders gathered at Town Hall to hear Michelle Burnett of the Rhode Island Emergency Management Agency (RIEMA) discuss changes to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) that are likely to raise rates significantly.
The agency, Burnett told the crowd, "wants to get information out to people so they're not broad-sided."
First, a little background: Burnett said the NFIP originated in 1968 after significant storms were recorded necessitating the federal government to step in to map flood-prone areas and to make insurance available to all members of a community that met flood plain management criteria and established minimum standards for new construction.
Prior to 1968, most homeowners' insurance policies did not cover flood damage — or if they did, the rates were cost-prohibitive. Consequently, those who found their property flooded "often found themselves financially devastated and unable to rebuild," said Burnett. The NFIP, she said, was created "to fill that gap."
The mapping, Burnett said, helped to identify "higher, medium and lower risk areas." Owners of existing homes and businesses did not have to rebuild according to higher standards, and many received subsidized rates that did not accurately reflect their level of risk.
In addition, as initial flood risk was updated by NFIP, a number of properties built in compliance with existing standards received discounted rates in areas in which flood risk was revised. This "grandfathering" prohibited rate increases for existing properties even when flood risk increased.
Burnett explained that the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012, passed into law the same year, extended the NFIP for five years, but also required major program changes. The legislation, she said, will require the NFIP to raise rates to more accurately reflect "the true risks and costs of flooding." Biggert-Waters was passed primarily to keep the NFIP sustainable, Burnett said, and "to make the program financially sound and stable."
Here's the essence of the changes: Individuals with a mortgage backed by the federal government whose structures are in hazardous areas are required to have flood insurance, which may be purchased, Burnett added, through a local insurance agency. She added that all primary residences — including historic buildings — built prior to the initial Flood Insurance Rate Map (pre-FIRM), i.e., before April of 1985, would be likely to see a 16 to 17 percent increase effective Oct. 1, 2013. Part of the intention of Biggert-Waters, Burnett said, was "to eliminate subsidies for pre-Firm structures."
Who is affected by subsidy changes?
Noting that 43 percent of the policies in Rhode Island are subsidized, Burnett itemized who would be affected by the subsidy changes. She listed non-primary residences, commercial properties and properties with repetitive claims as all subject to potential 25 percent increases each year—until they provide elevation certificates, indicating they know their risks. She added that the government is recommending that individuals submit these certificates.
Burnett pointed out that all 39 communities in Rhode Island were participating in this flood insurance coverage — with 16,135 policies having been written in the state. She noted that Washington County had 5,867 policies, Providence County had 2,700, and on New Shoreham there were currently 101 such policies in force.
The zones to be particularly aware of on island, Burnett said, were the V-zone, an area of the highest risk (with 10 local policy owners), the A-zone, an area directly adjacent to a V-zone, considered relatively high risk (with 47 policy owners), and the X-zone, an area outside the flood zone (where there are 44 policy owners). To see where these zones are, please visit www.new-shoreham.com and search for the report that was created by the New Shoreham Natural Hazard Mitigation Committee in 2006.
The cost of the average premium, Burnett said, was approximately $1,300. "Fortunately," she added, "the island has a lot of elevation."
In terms of building new structures, addressing what can be done to lower costs, Burnett said, "Elevate! Elevate!" However, she acknowledged that going higher can often conflict with height restrictions prescribed by municipalities. At times these heights may be "bumped up," she said.
"What's important to remember is to talk with an insurance agent because in building or rebuilding, going higher reduces flood risks," Burnett said, noting there were also mitigation grants available through the federal government. She added that FEMA could also "help consumers lower flood risks and flood insurance premiums through a community rating system, various mitigating grants and technical advice on building or rebuilding to mitigate future flood damage."
After a lively question and answer session, residents eager to learn which zone they were in clustered around a table on which Burnett had laid out maps indicating elevations and risk levels.
Finally, Burnett said "The most important thing would be to know your own risk." She reiterated that those with questions or concerns should contact a local insurance agent to learn more.

Kanye West Lends His Support to Occupy Wall Street Protest
Kanye West is never one to bite his tongue, but for once, the outspoken rapper didn't say a word during his visit to the Occupy Wall Street protest on Monday (Oct. 10). Russell Simmons enlisted support from the hip-hop superstar, who attracted a crowd as he walked the streets of New York City. Hordes of people have camped throughout the financial district to fight against social and economic inequality, corporate greed, and the influence of the very wealthy on government.
The Def Jam co-founder spoke to the media as a tired looking West stood by his side. "Kanye has been a big supporter spiritually to this movement and he's just here to stand with the people," he told reporters. "He's not with the politics of it, doesn't want to make a statement, didn't want to do any media at all actually, but he's here and there's almost no way around it.
"He's here in support of the people. As an artist, he feels artistic people and he feels what they're doing. And he understands this idea about getting the money out of government and letting the people govern. He wants to give power back to the people."

Posts tagged: Occupy Spokane
OLYMPIA — The Washington State Labor Council says it will join with various local versions of the "Occupy Wall Street" protests next week.
The council is in line with national labor leaders who are praising the protests from New York City to Seattle and Spokane for "capturing the imagination and passion of millions of Americans who have lost hope that our nation's policymakers are speaking for them."
Unions are planning a "Week of Action" starting next Monday, and want to hook up with Occupy demonstrations for some joint efforts. They haven't yet announced an agenda for their coming week.
Occupy Spokane protests have all been peaceful so far, but Occupy Seattle demonstrations at the Westlake Park resulted in 25 arrests Wednesday after protesters refused a city order to remove their tents. The tents have come down and but protesters remain in the downtown park…

What does the Wife of Bath really want in The Canterbury Tales?
2 Answers | Add Yours
Chaucer's "Wife of Bath's Tale," a short excerpt from his longer work The Canterbury Tales, resembles the other stories in many ways. It is preceded by a prologue, in which the storyteller -- in this case a widow from the city of Bath -- is given the opportunity to introduce herself and her story. The tale itself is an example of one of the many storytelling genres common in Chaucer's time -- others being the fabliau, the romance, or the moralistic parable.
But in other ways, the "Wife of Bath's Tale" stands alone. Chaucer uses both the book's General Prologue and the prologue to the Wife's tale to give us much more insight into her personality than is the case with any other pilgrim. This is her third pilgrimage; she's had five husbands; and in her own tale she explains how much reproach she has endured for having been married so many times. The remainder of her prologue is devoted to her carefully-structured argument extolling the virtues of wedded bliss, culminating in the assertion that if men would just submit to their wives in marriage, peace on earth would ensue, and everyone would live happily ever after.
The prologue alone does not paint the portrait of a deeply romantic woman; yet the tale she proceeds to tell is unabashedly romantic. She relates the story of a knight given the task of finding out what "wommen moost desiren" (women most desire). Her tale shows that women want their husband's love, not his obedience. Admittedly, the Wife's summation of the moral of the tale says the exact opposite, but the tale itself belies it: once the knight in the tale gives the old hag her way in one matter, she returns control to him and becomes young and beautiful so he will really desire her rather than merely being bound to her out of duty.
Regardless of what women really want, it is clear that what the Wife wants is love. From her prologue we learn that in her own life she was not happy with weak, dithering husbands who crumbled under her rough touch; she loved the young Jankyn who fought her like a tiger but loved her just as recklessly. Her story purports to show what "wommen most desiren", but it really shows what the Wife of Bath wants: to be loved for herself.
In her story, the Wife of Bath tells of a knight that has to find the correct answer to the question: What do women really want?
After a lot of wondering and looking for the correct answer, the knight finally answer the question: Women want to be in charge of their husbands (sovereigns) of them.
The Wife of Bath, having been married a number of times, mentions in different occasions the joys of marriage, and it all comes down to sex, money, and love.
If we combine her tale with the story of her life, we can conclude that she wants the comforts and joys of marriage down to the basic elements of money, sex, and passion. She is fond of all three equally and she even encourages other women to marry for similar reasons.

iPad Game Download Problem
As above,
I've been recently encountering this really weird problem on my iPad 3. I wonder if it only happens to me.
Recently, after downloading games from WiFi or even from transferring it over to my iPad using the computer, even after the game has been fully transferred over and installed, the game app icon just goes back to saying "Waiting.." and is totally unplayable. I have to delete it and redownload it again.
It seems to always be happening to the latest game that I have downloaded.
I have no way to solve it whatsoever. This gets very irritating especially when I want to play the game after downloading it from my PC. only to find out, half way through the journey that the game somehow or another deleted itself from my iPad and stays at "Waiting.." while the app icon is blurred out.
Does anyone encounter this same problem? Even if you're not using iPad 3, if you're encountering the same problem please do let me know.
I'm using the latest iOS update on iPad 3 4G 32GB.

Health Articles & Symptom CheckerSearch Health Information
Perirenal abscess
Perirenal abscess is a pocket of pus caused by an infection around one or both kidneys.
Alternative Names
Perinephric abscess
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Most perirenal abscesses are caused by urinary tract infections that start in the bladder, spread to the kidney, and then spread to the area around the kidney. Surgery in the urinary tract or reproductive system and a bloodstream infection can also lead to a perirenal abscess.
The biggest risk factor for perirenal abscess is kidney stones that block the flow of urine and provide a place for an infection to grow. Bacteria tend to stick to the stones and antibiotics can't kill the bacteria there.
Stones are found in 20 - 60% of patients with perirenal abscess. Other risk factors for perirenal abscess include:
- Diabetes
- Having an abnormal urinary tract
- Trauma
Symptoms of perirenal abscess include:
Signs and tests
The doctor or nurse will examine you. You may have tenderness in the back or abdomen.
Tests include:
- Blood culture
- CT scan of the abdomen
- Ultrasound of the abdomen
- Urinalysis
- Urine culture
To treat perirenal abscess, the pus can be drained through a catheter that is placed through the skin or with surgery. Antibiotics should also be given, at first through a vein (IV).
Expectations (prognosis)
In general, quick diagnosis and treatment of perirenal abscess should lead to a good outcome. Kidney stones must be treated to avoid further infections.
In rare cases, the infection can spread beyond the kidney area and into the bloodstream, which can be deadly.
If you have kidney stones, the infection may not go away.
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if you have a history of kidney stones and develop:
- Abdominal pain
- Burning with urination
- Chills
- Fever
- Urinary tract infection
If you have kidney stones, ask your doctor about the best way to treat them to avoid a perirenal abscess. If you undergo urologic surgery, keep the surgical area as clean as possible.

Opalesence BOOST
The demand for whiter teeth has grown tremendously. With direct-to-patient and over-the-counter bleaching products, public awareness of and its demand for tooth bleaching are universal. Numerous at-home and in-office products and techniques are available, and generally their combined use yields the fastest results. In-office bleaching is a particularly contentious field; some techniques involve the use of bleaching lights while others do not. It is important to determine, a priori, whether the bleach can potentially harm soft tissues. (Tissue protection, such as Ultradent's OpalDam, can be placed.) Ultradent's Opalescence BOOST is a 38% hydrogen peroxide power-bleach designed specifically for in-office use. Packaged in 2 separate syringes, it is mixed immediately prior to use for maximum freshness and effectiveness. One barrel contains concentrated hydrogen peroxide; the other barrel a unique chemical activator of 1.1% fluoride and 3% potassium nitrateóproducts that lower bleaching sensitivity and increase enamel microhardness. The 2 component syringes are locked into each other, and the material is mixed from one syringe into the other (minimum 20 times). Opalescence BOOST is then applied to the isolated teeth (up to one mm thick). The bleach should be reactivated every few minutes for maximum effectiveness. Each Opalesence BOOST application lasts 10 to 20 minutes, and the process can be repeated a number of times (patient's request and dentist's prerogative). The unused material may be refrigerated and stored for up to 10 days. Upon completion of treatment, the gel is thoroughly vacuumed, and the teeth are wiped and then rinsed. Opalescence BOOST has a neutral pH of 7.5 to minimize postbleaching sensitivity. It can be used in conjunction with at-home 10% to 35% carbamide peroxide products for maximum bleaching effectiveness.
CLEARFIL MAJESTY Esthetic
The keys to successful composite restorations are ease of use and the appearance of the finished restoration. Dental composite materials have been evolving steadily for more than half a century. Today, practitioners are fortunate to have a number of products that serve both the patient and the dental professional very well. Recently introduced by Kuraray, CLEARFIL MAJESTY Esthetic is a highly refractive composite that exhibits light diffusion properties that are similar to natural tooth structure. CLEARFIL MAJESTY Posterior is a nano-superfilled light-cure radiopaque restorative composite resin. It uses a proprietary surface coating technology that can incorporate a larger quantity of nanofiller within a resin matrix; this very high (92% by weight) filler loading results in very low polymerization shrinkage, high durability, and a reliable natural appearing posterior restoration. CLEARFIL MAJESTY Flow, the flowable companion, is a superfilled radiopaque restorative material. Its 81%-by-weight filler loading offers excellent strength and consistency. The flowable is delivered through a smooth, bubble-free syringe. CLEARFIL MAJESTY Estheticís proprietary composite filler has a very highly refractive matrix. This uniquely refractive matrix develops translucency by a selective transmission of light that is similar to that of natural teeth. The composite is very easy to place. CLEARFIL MAJESTY Esthetic is nonslumping. Its consistency makes it easy to shape and sculpt. It is not sticky and can be used with the time-saving monolayer technique. This technique delivers, with a single application layer, those natural aesthetics that are typically only possible with multilayers of other composites, achieving a high polish and extended durability. CLEARFIL MAJESTY Esthetic composite represents the fusion of aesthetics, technology, and ease of use.
One-step, self-adhesive resin cements were introduced about 5 years ago. Since then, they have had a major impact on the dental profession as well as the everyday dental practice. They are generally easy to use with most dental restorations, both metal and ceramic. Furthermore, they are far less technique- sensitive than both their nonresin and early resin cement predecessors. To a great extent, resin cements have replaced zinc phosphate and polycarboxylate in the dental ar-mamentarium. GC Americaís recently introduced G-Cem combines 2 great technologies: the proven science of seventh-generation resin adhesives with the well-established properties of biocompatible, hydro-philic, resin-modified glass ionomer cements. The cementís chemistry is based on functional monomers and water (rather than polyalkenoate acid). G-Cem's hydrophilicity provides effective penetration into the dentinal tubules. There the cement cures and thereafter becomes hydrophobic. Thus, G-Cem forms a strong chemical bond, sealing and protecting the tooth from external stimuli while at the same time eliminating postoperative sensitivity. This occurs whether the crown or cavity preparation surface is moist or dry at the initial application of the cement, doing away with much of the technique sensitivity associated with resin cements. G-Cem also provides a higher fluoride release when compared to other self-adhesive resin cements. It is an easy-to-use, single-step cement that is specifically designed for 4- or 2-handed practices. The cement is easy to clean up, particularly during the setting phase. It provides high bond strength to both enamel and dentin surfaces and achieves this within a reliably fast setting time. G-Cemís clinically focused chemistry offers excellent color stability and resistance to external stains. One-step cements are here to stay.For more information, call (800) 323-7063 or visit gcamerica.com.
Today's dental consumer expects aesthetic restorations, and the dentist who cannot deliver these results loses patients to colleagues who can. Aesthetics can be developed with a variety of products; many techniques require multiple steps, multiple decision-making levels, and a degree of shade-matching that metamerism, ambient, and operatory lights complicate in the typical practice. AMARIS from VOCO simplifies aesthetics to an intuitive 2-step process, with 8 shades that make color selection and application fast and easy (eliminating the expense of buying and stocking more than 30 shades). The restorationís appearance is actually developed right on the tooth! Five opaque shades cover the entire dentin shade range (plus an O-shade for very bright bleached teeth). The selected opaque material, essentially replacing missing dentin, is placed and cured. Step 2 consists of fine-tuning the opaque dentinal shade on site. Only 3 enamel shades are required (translucent dark darkens the base; translucent light lightens the base; and translucent neutral lets the base shine through). It all depends on how closely the base opaque dentin shade matches the tooth. The AMARIS technique allows the dentist to simplify shade selection and to match shades intraorally, right on the tooth. The scientifically developed AMARIS shade system is based on the equal distribution of the opaque shade hues, chromas and values; equal gaps between each shade can be closed with the translucent modifier shades. It is recommended that the translucent layer be 0.5 mm, but varying the thickness of the translucent layer offers more spectral latitude. Additional flowable shades can mask discolorations (high opaque) and develop visual depth (high translucent). Nanofillers and prepolymerized isofillers provide strength and a high luster finish that rounds out AMARISís highly aesthetic properties.For information call, (888) 658-2584 or visit vocoamerica.com.
Radii Plus
The curing light is an integral part of the modern dental practice. Throughout the last 3 decades, dentists have worked with a variety of curing lights: ultraviolet, halogen, xenon plasma arc, high-power halogen, and light-emitting diode (LED). In the past 5 years, LED technology has made major strides in becoming the most popular and the most useful curing modality available. As the various LED manufacturers compete, they tend to continually offer the dental profession ever-increasing capabilities and widening treatment and diagnostic options in curing lights. SDI has introduced Radii Plus, a modular LED light-curing instrument and so much more. It offers tremendous latitude to the practitioner that was previously not available in a single in-strument. First and foremost, the Radii Plus is a curing light: high intensity (1,500 m W/cm2) with a 360˚ swivel (providing easy access to any area of the mouth), and lightweight for ergonomic efficiency and clinician comfort. The diagnostic tip sheds new light on interproximal decay and cracks, fractures, calculus, and recurrent carries, offering a visual adjunct to radiographic and tactile examination. The orthodontic tip is designed for rapid and predictable resin cement curing during the bonding of brackets; the components exchange easily and intuitively. It eliminates the problems associated with frequent recharging; efficient energy use maximizes the utility range of each cycle. The emission spectrum ranges from 420 to 520 nm, with the highest output at 465 nm (the maximum absorption wavelength of camphoroquinone, the most common light-cure initiator). The Radii Plus is a LED curing light for the present and the future.For more information, call (800) 228-5166 or visit the Web site sdi.com.au.
Just think how many times a day you pick up your curing light. If you place only 10 aesthetic restorations per day—and many practitioners place far more than that—it is likely that you are using your curing light 60 to 100 times (or more) per day. The total chairside time spent daily with the curing unit represents a significant part of the clinical day; this means that an effective, dentist-friendly, ergonomic, and predictable curing light is a mainstay of the successful dental practice. J. Morita's new Pencure curing light looks very much like its name. It feels and looks like a slightly large pen and is just as comfortable, even through extended use. The Pencure has a powerful light-emitting diode (LED) beam that is paralleled to concentrate its curing power directly on the composite, where it is most needed. Parallelism provides for less light dissipation and thus less curing power loss as the distance between the composite increases somewhat. Equal power distribution means that there is plenty of effective curing power, even at the edges of the beam. It delivers a very bright LED light that is powered by high-performance lithium ion batteries. The strong, 1,000 mW/cm2 light intensity offers consistent and rapid polymerization of all composites in the optimal wavelength range of 420 to 480 nm. Its integrated time display offers 10-, 20-, and 40-second curing settings at the touch of a button. The instrument is very light and comfortable, enabling precise positioning and handling as well as comfortable extended use. The compact Pencure has a swivel head providing maximum utility in the narrow confines of the mouth.

How to Install and Configure Apache Tomcat on Ubuntu!!!
Apache Tomcat is a servlet container developed by the Apache Software Foundation (ASF). Tomcat implements the Java Servlet and the JavaServer Pages (JSP) specifications from Sun Microsystems, and provides a "pure Java" HTTP web server environment for Java code to run.
Installing and configuring Tomcat on Ubuntu is very easy.
Before starting you need the Java Development Kit (JDK) and not Java Runtime Environment (JRE). Download it from http://java.sun.com as a .bin file and install it on your system or use the command line:
sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
1. Download and install the Tomcat packages (run in terminal):
sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-jk libservlet2.4-java libtomcat5.5-java tomcat5.5 tomcat5.5-admin tomcat5.5-webapps
2. Open the .bashrc file (run in terminal):
sudo gedit ~/.bashrc
3. Add the following line in the opened file:
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
save and close the file.
4. Now make the Logs directory writeable (run in terminal):
sudo chmod -R 777 /var/lib/tomcat5.5/logs
5. To make Tomcat automatically start when we boot up the computer, you can add a script to make it auto-start and shutdown.
sudo gedit /etc/init.d/tomcat
Now paste in the following:
# Tomcat auto-start
# description: Auto-starts tomcat
# processname: tomcat
# pidfile: /var/run/tomcat.pid
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
case $1 in
sh /usr/local/tomcat/bin/startup.sh
sh /usr/local/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh
sh /usr/local/tomcat/bin/shutdown.sh
sh /usr/local/tomcat/bin/startup.sh
exit 0
You'll need to make the script executable by running the chmod command:
sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/tomcat
The last step is actually linking this script to the startup folders with a symbolic link. Run the following commands and we are ready.
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/tomcat /etc/rc1.d/K99tomcat
sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/tomcat /etc/rc2.d/S99tomcat
6. To start the tomcat, run the following command:
sh /usr/share/tomcat5.5/bin/startup.sh
7. You can test to see if it's working, point your browser at:
A word of precaution: It's better to avoid running Tomcat as root.
There are many other setting within Tomcat, I think the user should better try them out themselves. Some are:
1) Making Tomcat to run on port 80.
2) Turning off Directory Listings like Index Manager.
3) Check out the Tomcat configuration file and try out something of your own. Only precaution required is that you should not be logged in as root
Cheers :)

Fujitsu's four-way slider puts other sliders to shame
We've certainly seen a bunch of slider phones recently, but this new one from Fujitsu manages to put a new spin on the now-commonplace design. Rather than just revealing buttons when the face is slid up, it can now slide open in four directions, each revealing a separate set of buttons. It's a neat idea, although I'd have to actually try it out in person to see if it actually improved usability or just made the whole experience more confusing. That's not something I'll get to do anytime soon, unfortunately, as this is merely a concept at the moment. Oh well, I've got plenty of other things to keep myself occupied with.

Excellent valueSubmitted by: C Newton in 27/09/05

This hotel is in a very small, quiet village, the hotel itself was very clean. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Although the decor in the rooms was very old fashioned. The all inclusive drinks were limited to Brandy, Ouzo, Beer, Comquat, or wine. Food was very good. And the entertainment team was great. The only drawback was around 90-95 of the other guest's were German.

After 5 days of hardcore coding I have finally made the 2 Player Missons working on PC eliminating the bug where the 1st
player controlls the 2nd player. Obviously you cannot play the 2 player missons on keyboard because the format is not supported.
But if you have 2 USB controllers and SAAC 1.2 you can play the missons.
How to play:
1. Run two instances of SAAC 1.2
2. The first one is for the keyboard. Select Keyboard as preset.Then configure your controlls.
3. The second one is for your USB controller. Select PSX pad as preset. If you can't configure it press the * key in your
keyboard numpad.And click on the [o]2 player box.
(Tips: Set aim mode to classic. It aims at targets automaticallyv(PS2 style). You don't have to press a bundle of keys to aim
at a individual with this option. )
1. While playing the missons if the first players enters a car, the controlls of the 2nd player may malfunction. I don't know why? But this dosen't happen in the case
of 2ND Player. It would be better if the 2nd player drives a vehicle.
2. For some reasons the 2 player icon is not shown on the map. It is found in the old abandoned house near CJ house. I have included a screenshot.
3. Please delete all your cleo mods. They might cause the game to crash. Lagging can also be seen.
Also you have to start new game. You save files won't work. I have included a 100% complete modified save file so that you can move about freely in the whole game.
How to install?
Put all the files in the SAAC1.2 in your game directory.
Copy the folder "Script" and paste it in Data/Scripts folder in your game's directory.(Make a backup of the original)
Copy the Savefile and paste it in MY DOCUMENTS/Gta Sanandreas User files
Any Problem please comment...

Star Trek Through the YearsSubmitted by adriscoll on Thu, 02/06/2014 - 01:50
Since its conception, Star Trek has been a source of revolution. It has been said that it predicted the future, but really, Star Trek created it. Flip phones have their roots in the original series communicators. Although the iPad has built their image as the first tablet, tablets were first conceived for the set of the Enterprise.
The Methods of American Study Abroad in an International ContextSubmitted by adriscoll on Tue, 09/17/2013 - 17:34
America has failed to globalize. Not commercially, but socially. While cultures spread, beliefs systems are shared, and the world's people begin to communicate, we have been leaving ourselves out. As a supposed 'leader of the free world,' our nation, and especially its youth, should be more involved with the rest of the world.

Heath Ledger in Candy courtesy THINKFilm
Not long before 3:35 pm on January 22, 2008, the short life and promising career of actor Heath Ledger came to a sudden, tragic end. It was around this time that Ledger's housekeeper and his masseuse discovered the body of the Australian-born actor in the bedroom of the Broome Street apartment he'd been renting in lower Manhattan. Ledger was not yet 29 years old.News of Ledger's death came as a terrible shock to nearly everyone, even though it now seems the low-key, Oscar-nominated actor had been privately battling his own demons for quite some time. His passing is the terrible surprise ending no one saw coming, an abrupt finale to a life and career that seemed to be all about the unexpected.Born and raised in Perth, Australia, and named after the darkly romantic anti-hero from Wuthering Heights (he has a sister named Katherine), Ledger left school at the age of 17 to pursue a career in acting. He eventually landed a role in Blackrock, a small independent feature about teen rape, fo...

Question: A long time ago I read something about a lawsuit and some kind of a fake critic — what was it about and was there a resolution?
Answer: The legal case you remember was a class-action suit filed in 2001 by two disgruntled California moviegoers who claimed that ads featuring glowing quotes by "David Manning" of The Ridgefield Press enticed them to see A Knight's Tale under false pretenses. Leaving aside the fact that I think moviegoers who rely on quote ads to make viewing decisions are on a par with diners who let TV commercials suggest where they should eat, the suit turned up the fact that there was no David Manning. Although there is a small Connecticut newspaper called The Ridgefield Press, two advertising executives at Sony Pictures invented critic David Manning out of whole cloth. That also amazes me, given that the field of movie reviewing is

Dáil Éireann - Volume 547 - 31 January, 2002
Written Answers. - School Transport.
Mr. Spring Mr. Spring
41. Mr. Spring asked the Minister for Education and Science the number of buses in the school bus fleet which are less than five years old; the numbers between five and ten years old; the numbers between ten and 15 years old; the numbers between 15 and 20 years old; the numbers which are over 20 years old; his views on the roadworthiness and safety of these vehicles; the procedures in place to assess and monitor these vehicles; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2771/02]
Dr. Woods Dr. Woods
Minister for Education and Science (Dr. Woods): Details of the number of school buses in the age categories outlined by the Deputy have been requested from Bus Éireann. The information will be forwarded to the Deputy as soon as it is available. Safety on school transport is of paramount importance to my Department and [983] Bus Éireann, who operate the scheme on behalf of my Department.
All vehicles operating under the school transport scheme are required to meet the statutory regulations as laid down by the Department of the Environment and Local Government. Where vehicles have more than eight adult seats and are more than one year old, they are required to pass that Department's annual roadworthiness test. The test is carried out as directed by the Department of the Environment and Local Government, in test centres authorised by that Department. Only buses that have passed this test are used in school transport operations. Bus Éireann carry out regular checks to ensure that certification with regard to roadworthiness is up to date.
Contractors employed by Bus Éireann to provide services under the school transport scheme must satisfy strict criteria and must hold a road passenger operator's licence. Vehicles nominated for use under the scheme must be suitable for the conveyance of school children and must have complete and current documentation, including proof of insurance cover, in respect of both buses and drivers as required by law. The vehicles have to be kept and maintained in a safe and roadworthy condition and to comply in all respects with the Road Traffic Acts.
Bus Éireann's policy of continuous fleet replacement facilitates the improvement of the quality of vehicles used in the operation of the school transport scheme, and provides a better standard of service for pupils availing of school transport. As part of their ongoing policy of improving the age and condition of the school bus fleet, Bus Éireann introduced a significant number of replacement vehicles in 2001.

The Vampire Diaries Review: A Case of Klaustrophobiaby Matt Richenthal at . Comments
Before delving into one of the greatest Vampire Diaries episodes in history - The action! The emotion! The ethical dilemmas! - I must start by correcting Damon:
We did make Elena a pros/cons list. But it's gonna take more than that, man. She didn't seem closer to a decision after reading through the comparisons. Sorry.
Okay, now I can truly start reviewing "Before Sunset," and I'll do so by asking: Are we sure this wasn't the season finale?!? My. Goodness.
The episode wasted no time getting into the action - okay, it wasted a tiny bit of time, giving us a blonde-off between Rebekah and Caroline, but no warm-blooded male in his right mind would consider this a waste - as Dark-laric was instantly on the attack.
He grabbed Rebekah. He was staked by Caroline. He responded by breaking her neck and, a short time later, proving there actually is something worse that can be done with pencils in a classroom other than fill out those tiny little holes on a Scantron. Ouch.
This sequence led to Ethical Dilemma #1 of the evening: to kill Caroline or not to kill Caroline? Granted, it wasn't actually a choice Elena entertained, but it did pose an interesting debate. I mean... is Dark-laric totally wrong here? If we can somehow remove ourselves from the affection we feel for the vampires of Mystic Falls, can we really argue that the town as a whole would be safer without them around?
Major kudos to Julie Plec and company for creating a legitimate villain - in the eyes of any true TVD fan, there's no question that Dark-laric must be stopped - and yet still painting him with a morally grey brush. Let's face it, the guy has a point.
All of this led to the return of... Abby!!! Okay, that may be three exclamation points too many. But she was needed on the scene because Elena somehow figured out that Dark-laric was tied to her (who else figured Damon would be the first to tie up Elena?!?) and the team couldn't actually kill him. They needed to desicate him, like Abby did with Mikael. This was actually an effective, necessary use of the witch-turned-vampire and a nice callback to an early plot point.
It's here we can stop again and focus on Ethical Dilemma #2: Elena could have killed herself and put an end to Dark-laric. That's a mighty major step, no doubt. I'm not saying I could do it. But the show did a masterful job this week of depicting situations that actually did have alternate ways out, albeit ways that would lead to the deaths of major characters.
It's one thing to make viewers' heads spin via non-stop action. It's another to make the brains inside those heads consider what they would do if faced with similar circumstances. Great work throughout when it came to the latter.
So... Elena is tied to Alaric. And Stefan, Damon and Tyler are all tied to Klaus. (It was pretty clear he was telling the truth about their bloodline based on Stefan's reaction when he actually reached inside Klaus' chest). But Tyler is no longer tied to his maker, as Ethical Dilemma #3 involved the decision this hybrid arrived at in grand fashion:
I'm not your little bitch anymore. And why isn't Tyler Klaus' little bitch anymore? How did he break the sire bond?
By breaking every bone in my body a hundred times for the girl I love. | permalink
Once more, with feeling: Forwood. Forever.
I've been delaying it for as long as possible, but now it's time to say goodbye.
Bonnie did succeed at the spell, but she did so with Klaus, who was trying desperately to flee town with both his real family and the ability to make a new one - and we all know why, right? At heart, this is simply one lonely hybrid. He yearns for attention. Why do you think he throws so many hissy fits? Why he continued to have faith that his old friend, Stefan the Ripper (sorry, Stefan the Rippah) would return to him?
Klaus just wants to be loved. And while that will never happen in Mystic Falls, it happened in living rooms around the country. Joseph Morgan brought this character to life in every conceivable way: he was scary, he was funny, he was sympathetic, he was vulnerable and, in what I have to imagine will be his final scene for a long time, he was in a state of shock.
Klaus didn't utter any final words. But his eyes - and the perfect, heartbeat-based score - said it all. A perfect exit for a perfect villain.
I raise my own shot to you, Niklaus Mikaelson, but I do it out of sadness and respect, secure in the knowledge that we have to see you again at some point... right?
Finally, we arrive at Elena. I've been as frustrated as anyone over the last few weeks - railing against her in my previous TVD review - regarding this dragged-out love triangle. She was just going back and forth on a seeming whim, teasing both the brothers and Vampire Diaries fans on a weekly basis.
But it was saved for me here when Elena just came right out and acknowledged her hedging. If I choose one of you, I lose the other. And I've lost so many people, I can't bear the thought of losing you. That's it. Two sentences, one salient point and I understand. This is Ethical Dilemma #4 from the episode, but it's the only one without a resolution at the moment.
It seemed a bit random and far-fetched for Damon and Stefan to simply agree that the loser would leave town, like the two were simply raising the stakes for the season finale just because. But whatever. That's a miniscule complaint in what was a whirlwind of an enthralling episode.
Where do we stand heading into that finale? Dark-laric has outed himself, Tyler and Caroline to the town council. He wants all vampires dead, and he has to somehow neutralize Elena in the process so she doesn't become collateral damage or sacrifice herself for her loved ones (hence whatever the heck happened at the end... I assume?).
Tyler loves Caroline. Caroline loves Tyler. Rebekah has supposedly fled. Jeremy is painting and having his heart stopped on occasion. Bonnie is spell casting. And Damon and Stefan are actually together and happy. Why do I have the feeling that won't be the case a week from now?
What an hour of television. What did everyone else think?

Loved the Klaus scene where he was throwing stuff in the house, and then the 3 of them had it out on the porch when they realized they needed to work together. Loved the scene w/ Klaus and Caroline. Sexy. I'm with everybody else laughing at the fact that Elena was drained of half her blood and Jer died, but they both took shots. The scene though, with all the friends in the kitchen was so cute and happy, so I didn't care. I thought the ending with Elena passing out from the head injury was actually kind of cool.
@Allison Berry Barbieri : This is getting weird, everytime I feel like posting a comment I read yours and feel like you're reading my mind girl lol i.e, I totally agree with you, all the time...
I wonder what would happen if Elena was turned...she has to die in order to do that...so would Alaric die as well or would he live long enough for her to transition and be tied to her new vampire life? As for the triangle...it's gotten boring...certainly not the best part of the show by a long shot. After seeing Klaus and Damon's fence post throwing and dodging scene I started wishing for more scenes that were similar...and when the three(Stefan/Damon/Klaus) were working together I loved it...kinda wish all three would ditch Elena and go on the road together but alas Klaus is gone and we are back to Elena...eternal damsel in distress.
This episode was great. It's about time they figured out a way to get rid of Klaus and that was awesome! I loved the fact that Klaus was a Stelena fan, that was great!
I understand Elena's hesitation about not choosing someone on this episode with everything going on but like Caroliine said, at some point she needs to either choose one or move on with her life and let the brothers move on too because it's not fair at all she gets to toy with their emotions and string them along.
@Borednow...As someone that hasn't watched Buffy, I don't care about the comparisons. Anyway, isn't a lot of TV derivative? I mean, I'm sure Grey's has characteristics of ER, or The Secret Circle might take cues from Charmed...One Tree Hill from Dawson's...I mean, that is why there are "tropes" in TV...things get repeated at times..
Such a great episode! Klaus was fantastic and I love love his character. His ending was so awesome and so well acted on all of their parts I was awe struck. Def one of the best eps all season!
Plec might WANT to rip off that stuff, but no one in the writing staff has any writing chops to execute that. Guess that's the general problem this season. Plec wants a lot of things, only they don't get to work any of it :-( All those possibilities... wasted. Sad. Still hoping it's getting better again though :-) (Just don't kill off Klaus forever, don't make a Salvator brother leave - best case: Elena leaves town, haha - and hire some good writers)
And they already tried way too hard making Stefan look like the new Angel. I am however, aware that not everyone grew up on Buffy, so plots like this could be interesting for some viewers. Just not for me. I just feel the show should be more original. Judging from Julie Plec's tweets, it's obvious she takes a lot of inspiration from Buffy. Thats exactly the problem. PLEC wants to copy-paste it yet fails to make it work. Angel came off as threatening and his darkside justified his overall passiveness in his first appearances and set off a huge character arc for him. Steffie just came out as a wimp. Plec might WANT to rip off that stuff, but no one in the writing staff has any writing chops to execute that.
who has shots of tequila with only 3 pints of blood left? a vampire's babe thats who. of course paint fumes are gonna do the trick
That's exactly why it would be similar to Willow. the smile on her face from the dark magic and the fact that she has lost people for really pointless reasons. I always thought it would be interesting to see Bonnie go on a revenge phase, and at certain times she actually did that (setting damon on fire) but with Alaric as the new once-good-guy now villain right now, it's not really necessary to make her a villain ATM. I don't oppose to seeing her get into dark magic so much that it changes her, but that really would be a parallel to Willow. And they already tried way too hard making Stefan look like the new Angel. I am however, aware that not everyone grew up on Buffy, so plots like this could be interesting for some viewers. Just not for me. I just feel the show should be more original. Judging from Julie Plec's tweets, it's obvious she takes a lot of inspiration from Buffy.

One of my new year's resolutions was to cut back the (spending) fat so I cancelled before January shipped. I have never been so happy about that decision because this box sucks. Doesn't pretty much everyone and their mom own a stability ball by now... and if you don't who's paying more than $10 for one? And don't get my started in that watch; it's atrocious. I know tweens who wouldn't be caught dead wearing it, let alone women more than twice their age. The rest is just a bunch of cheap food that can be easily found in any grocery store/Target. It's no wonder that the box is no longer back-ordered and people who sign up today (Feb 2) can still get the Feb box. kte0603 1 year Disappointment. I am thinking of cancelling the popsugar boxes. I don't need another balance ball, the watch looks cheap, and I didn't even get the casegram coupon. I can go out an get some granola bars and some hot chocolate for less money then I spent on this box. I didn't care for this lip balm, but I did like the the lipbalm that was in the other boxes. I know that they call it a box and not a bag anymore, but I liked getting the bags in the past. The best items for far have been the notepad, shampoo samples, nail polish, wrap bracelet, gummys, scarf and movie tickets. The luxe box was a huge disappointment and not worth the money. I used my coupon for free item on Stylemint, and I had to put cc info in. Then the next month they charged me because it had signed me up on a monthly program (you have to cancel the 1st 5 days of the month or they charge you). In the future, I would like to see less workout dvds, and candles. And I would like more fun little stuff (pens, things I can throw in my purse, nailpolish, lipbalm, bags, cooking tools, hair products, cute office supplies, etc..) Mellochristina 1 year I loved the food items in this box. I got to try new things that were delicious without it breaking the bank. I actually already purchased most of the food items again. I HATE when popsugar puts items in the box that aren't necessarily great just expensive. I HATE getting items because of the brand name rather than the quality (ahem bottle of damn soap ahem). New and fantastic doesn't always mean $$$. The ball I liked because I need another "chair" and had actually been planning on getting one. The coupons are still ridiculous. epicuren products just seem like expensive burt's bees products but without the quality of burt's bees. The watch was okay and I need a watch for work so this is going to be my back up in case my real watch breaks. It looks like a cheap kid's watch Wasn't disappointed with this box like with the luxury box and wasn't thrilled. Loved the food items and sort of indifferent to the rest. covitt 1 year Agreed! mswindang 1 year I agree. Very disappointing. staciajackson4 1 year I was really disappointed with this month's box. It felt similar to KlutchClub or one of the other health boxes. I can understand the theme but I didn't find that this box held up the value of some of the other boxes. It was basically a medicine ball, a few samples, and a gift card. Not really worth it to me.
