I walk into the reception hall. There are a lot of people there, perhaps as many as a hundred or so people. These are all people I am supposed to know, each with a supposedly unique face. Some of them, I probably do know, and yet, when I walk into the room, I feel as if I am the only person there, a friend among strangers. After all, many of them greet me by name. I smile, or at least pretend to smile, securing my nomination for an Oscar or Tony Award, if only the judges knew I was acting.
This is made even more exasperating since, at such gatherings, people are usually wearing formal attire, clothing which typically makes people look even more closely alike than they would otherwise appear to me. Like a macabre science fiction story in which every person looks like an identical twin, my goal is to find just one specific individual which every other person present can identify so easily by their face.
This is an especially painful exercise. I can scan the room for hours in frustration, though usually I give up after only a minute or two. My only salvation is that sometimes, the person I am searching for knows I might be looking for them, so they look out for me. For example, my family has a whistle which dates back at least to my grandfather on my mother's side. Rather than a socially awkward, "Hey Glenn! Over here," the whistle allows me to hone in on the location of the person I am looking for. Usually, that person has already found me, but if they have not, shortly after the whistle is released, we will be united. That tool only works with family. When trying to find anybody else, other tools are far less successful, far more cumbersome, and usually require that I receive substantial help from the other person to make such and interaction a success.

I find it amazing that conservatives in Congress are being blamed for our budget woes. The last Democratic Congress passed a budget and the Republican Congress has now passed two budgets so where is the hang up?
It has now been more then 1,000 days since Senate Democrats have even introduced a budget resolution. Why?
Once the budget resolution has been introduced there must be a final vote taken after no more then 50 hours of debate and votes taken on individual amendments that have been offered by Senators. There can be no filibuster so 51 votes would pass an amendment and, finally, a budget. What is Senator Reid afraid of? Is he trying to protect Senate Democrats from having to cast a series of difficult election-year votes?

Remember when Lake Stevens got their first roundabout? Folks would sneak up to the entrance and slowly glide into the lane feeling uncomfortable because they didn't stop as they always had before.
And then there were those who chose to speed up as they approached the roundabout and take the corners as fast as possible hoping to avoid stopping or even yielding to others who may be waiting to enter.
And still others, mostly teenagers looking for a good time, would drive around and around until someone would stop them by entering the roundabout or they would get dizzy, whichever came first.
Well, now we have a new roundabout which has also been built to slow down traffic on Lundeen Parkway and create a safer way to cross Lundeen when coming from either Vernon Road to the south or Lake Drive to the north.
It seems that folks are hesitant, once again, as they drive through this new and unfamiliar passage, so it's time for some roundabout etiquette.
There are a few key things to remember when coming to a roundabout, first of all, it's not a race to see who can get around it the fastest and it's not scary, unfamiliar territory any longer – most of you just went through one a few seconds earlier.
Here's what the Washington State Department of Transportation tells us to do:
• Yield to drivers in the roundabout
• Stay in your lane; do not change lanes
• Do not stop in the roundabout
• Avoid driving next to oversize vehicles
Sounds simple enough, right? So why is it so many have trouble when approaching a roundabout?
In Lake Stevens we only have what are considered single lane roundabouts. When you approach most roundabouts there will be a speed limit sign which suggests the speed you should drive while making your way through the roundabout. Follow the signs, slow down and watch for pedestrians.
Really, driving a roundabout shouldn't be like the first day of rain after weeks of sunshine, although at times that's exactly what it seems to be.
If you need more information or would like to watch a video showing you exactly how to drive through a roundabout visit www.wsdot.wa.gov/safety/roundabouts.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel Named Person Of The Year By Aviation Week
NEW YORK, Jan. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Aviation Week has selected Angela Merkel , Chancellor of Germany, as its 2012 Person of the Year in a cover story published today in Aviation Week & Space Technology. As Europe's most powerful leader and having the most impact on aerospace in 2012, she had blocked the $45 billion merger between European Aeronautics Defence & Space Company (EADS) and Britain's BAE Systems (BAE), successfully devastating the deal. A key influence in the aerospace industry, Merkel has revolutionized the very arc of Europe's largest aerospace and defense company and disallowed change of the industrial landscape.
" Angela Merkel possesses a distinct skepticism about majestic visions of European integration, and as a result killed the EADS-BAE tie-up for purely political reasons," said Aviation Week & Space Technology Editor-in-Chief Joseph C. Anselmo.
The merger's downfall is rooted to the instability of Europe, incongruity, and doubt. Berlin's budding umbrage of its loss of influence within EADS, caution about France, and uncertainty about the motives of the firm's German CEO Tom Enders are all sad realities of external forces. But despite all these components, Germany is strengthened by its rising stature in Europe, developing jobs and advancements in technology.
" Germany's veto shows the extent to which the European aerospace industry is under political control," said Jens Flottau, Managing Editor, Aviation Week & Space Technology. "Regardless of whether or not the merger would have been a commercial success, it was certainly blocked for the wrong reasons."The Person of the Year distinction, the eighth in Aviation Week's 97-year history, recognizes the impact individuals have on the broader A&D community. Aviation Week staff editors selected Chancellor Angela Merkel from an international field of candidates. Prior recipients include Louis R. Chenevert, chairman and CEO of United Technologies Corp. (2011), United Continental CEO Jeff Smisek (2010); the Space Entrepreneur (2009); former U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates (2008); the father of China's space program, Tsien Hsue-shen (2007); Alan Mulally, previously of Boeing Co. (2006); and Pier Francesco Guarguaglini, previously of Finmeccanica (2005). Complete coverage of the Person of the Year, including photos and runners-up, is available at http://www.aviationweek.com.

Save your cubits: Battlestar Galactica goodies up for auction
Battlestar Galactica has (sadly) been out of production for a while now, and there's only so much that industrious DIY-ers can do to create their own cool toys based on the show. Happily for fans everywhere, a huge new batch of props is currently being auctioned off, and you can get your own piece of the BSG action for (kinda) cheap.
Of course, as a mercenary employed by Syfy, I get first pick, so I'm going home with a fully operational Mark VII Viper and one of those spare Sixes.
You know what, better make it two.
Below, we've picked out our 15 favorites items for you to peruse, along with auction descriptions and an estimated price. Bidding starts now!


text: Has anyone seen this series? I thought that it was very awesome with lots of action mixed in with some comedy. I did not like the ending however...we don't really see who it is? Anyone have any ideas? My idea is that they became one again....but isn't that dumb seeing as how Demon-Eyes and Kyoshiro hated each other.

[CAH2_HUMAN] Defects in CA2 are the cause of osteopetrosis autosomal recessive type 3 (OPTB3) [MIM:259730]; also known as osteopetrosis with renal tubular acidosis, carbonic anhydrase II deficiency syndrome, Guibaud-Vainsel syndrome or marble brain disease. Osteopetrosis is a rare genetic disease characterized by abnormally dense bone, due to defective resorption of immature bone. The disorder occurs in two forms: a severe autosomal recessive form occurring in utero, infancy, or childhood, and a benign autosomal dominant form occurring in adolescence or adulthood. Autosomal recessive osteopetrosis is usually associated with normal or elevated amount of non-functional osteoclasts. OPTB3 is associated with renal tubular acidosis, cerebral calcification (marble brain disease) and in some cases with mental retardation.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
[CAH2_HUMAN] Essential for bone resorption and osteoclast differentiation (By similarity). Reversible hydration of carbon dioxide. Can hydrate cyanamide to urea. Involved in the regulation of fluid secretion into the anterior chamber of the eye.[6] [7]
CheckConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf.
N-(4-Sulfamoylphenyl)-alpha-d-glucopyranosylamine, a promising topical antiglaucoma agent, is a potent inhibitor of the zinc enzyme carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 188.8.131.52). The high resolution X-ray crystal structure of its adduct with the target isoform involved in glaucoma, CA II, is reported here. The sugar sulfanilamide derivative binds to the enzyme in a totally new manner as compared to other CA-inhibitor adducts investigated earlier. The sulfonamide anchor was coordinated to the active site metal ion, and the phenylene ring of the inhibitor filled the channel leading to the active site cavity. The glycosyl moiety responsible for the high water solubility of the compound was oriented towards a hydrophilic region of the active site, where no other inhibitors were observed to be bound up to now. A network of seven hydrogen bonds with four water molecules and the amino acid residues Pro201, Pro202 and Gln92 further stabilize the enzyme-inhibitor adduct. Topiramate, another sugar-based CA inhibitor, binds in a completely different manner to CA II as compared to the sulfonamide investigated here. These findings are useful for the design of potent, sugar-derived enzyme inhibitors.

nice hostel with a good atmosphere but when we first arrived they made a point of telling us that all the showers had hot water but later went to shower all 4 of us had only cold water. i know its the desert but after you've been out all day and they make the point of telling you at check in its a bit of a let down.

Nothing was ever too much trouble at this hostel. Staff were ready to help with all the trips we wanted to do and even the few extras that they didn't offer. Very friendly and accommodating. Good breakfast provided in the morning and comfy beds. Wouldn't think of staying anywhere else in Pucon.
Delirio HostelVina del Mar, Chile
The staff were extremely helpful and friendly and the fact that we could leave our bags and use the facilities for the day after we checked out was also very helpful. The only downside was the noise in our dorm at night from the large group of men downstairs, we understand it is a hostel and we expect noise but it sounded like their shouts and laughs were actually in our room! although i do expect that was probably just our room. Overall, a very good stay

Desert Horses
Welcome to my horse blog, Desert Horses. We live in the desert southwest, near Palm Springs, CA, but board our horses up in our local mountains where it is cooler in the summer. I have 5 horses, all rescues. Here is the ranch up the mountains where the horses stay, November 30, 2014.

Between storms
We had a storm move in Wednesday night and Thursday here in the desert. It cleared Friday, but another storm, a larger one, is moving in. I took this photo off Interstate 10 near Palm Desert. I didn't hear about the Connecticut shootings until I was on my way home. NOBODY said anything or even notified us about it during the day. My heart goes out to the families there...and the innocent victims.

Arizona Diamondbacks
David Holmberg struggles in major league debut for Arizona Diamondbacks
David Holmberg struggled in his big league debut for the Arizona Diamondbacks against the San Diego Padres on Tuesday night at Chase Field.
The 22-year-old southpaw's nerves were apparent during a rocky first inning. He allowed three runs on four hits with one walk and no strikeouts in the opening frame.
Holmberg never quite found his groove, laboring through 3.2 innings of work. He surrendered three runs on six hits with three walks and no strikeouts on the night.
"I was excited, I had a good time out there," Holmberg said following Arizona's 10-9 win Tuesday. "It was good to see the fans out there, and after that first pitch, I kind of settled in and it was good from there."
The left-hander went 5-7 with a 2.66 ERA with 115 strikeouts and 47 walks in 152.1 innings pitched for the Double-A Mobile BayBears.
The D-backs acquired Holmberg from the Chicago White Sox in a trade that brought Daniel Hudson to Arizona in 2010.
Holmberg became the fifth pitcher in the D-backs' system to make his major league debut in 2013.

Holy Hotness: Vampire Diaries Stars Cover EWby Matt Richenthal at . Comments
Warning to all fans of The Vampire Diaries: you may need a glass of ice cold water prior to reading any further. Not to drink. To douse on yourself.
That's because stars Nina Dobrev, Paul Wesley and Ian Somerhalder cover the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly, with all three gracing the main cover and Nina having each actor to herself on a pair of separate, collectible covers.
Click on the trio of photos below for larger versions and take note of the colors assigned to Wesley and Somhaler... if you can get past the fact that none of them are wearing a shirt, that is. How roles have changed for Stefan and Damon...
Inside the issue - on sale Friday! - producer Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson talk about the challenge of Elena and Damon's first real kiss, and how they wanted to keep both Stelena and Delena fans on board with it.
In general, when considering the love triangle, Plec says:
"How can we service this moment between our characters that we really want, a Damon and Elena kiss, without getting the Stefan-Elena side of the fandom to give up hope and give up on us? And vice versa, when we want Stefan and Elena to have a moment together, how can we do that and not have our Delena fans outraged?"
For a lot more about the show, pick up the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly. As if we needed to tell you that.
Matt Richenthal is the Editor in Chief of TV Fanatic. Follow him on Twitter and on Google+.Tags: The Vampire Diaries, Ian Somerhalder, Paul Wesley, Nina Dobrev
I love the with damon and elaine. It is hot and sexy. They need to bring that sexyiness to the show with them two.
OMD!!!!! It took me 2 days to be able to comment on this... The threesome is just strange... Stelena is kinda creepy cuz Paul's married. But Delena, OH HELL YES!!!! When I saw Ian with no shirt on I started hypervenilating! I seriously think I almost passed out. And plus they're Dating so it makes more sense. Also in the show Elena hates Stefan cuz he's being a dick so Delena pic makes much more sense. I really think they should try Delena on the show cuz it would add so much more Drama b/w Stefan and Damon. Oh, and then maybe they could bring Katherine into it and have Stefan with her to try to piss off Delena... Just saying, they should try it.
OMFD (oh my freakin Delena) ...new saying lol. Holy shiet Batman, Delena endgame baby! I lovee this show
omg freakin hot lol
ofcourse the delena cover is the best
but are nina and ian all naked?
Looking at these covers of entertainment weekly, they look out of this world. It may seem oh wow to know Paul married and Nina dating Ian, but who knows if these covers will drive people into jealousy or attractiveness. I mostly want to find out what happens in the show and I can't wait to see how the rest of season 3 goes out. ;) ;P
I want the Delena and group shot so bad!
The Delena one is "hotter" because Paul is MARRIED, and Ian and Nina are DATING, so of course they're more comfortable around each other.
Anyway, I don't like Nina's facial expression in the Threesome and the Delena one.
yep hand position is stratigec especially when someone is already married to someone on the show....lol just saying

However hard to find. Parking will get you. Very limited and $18 hidden fee to park! PLace was good for a nights sleep and breakfast next door! Facility has every basic need older establishment but well maintained!
Great location. Bed was comfortable with nice pillows and linens. Had free wi-fi.
The hotel was going through renovations but it was spotty and uneven in what was chosen to be upgraded. For instance, our bathroom and vanity area had new tile but the toilet seat probably cost $1.98 - it was the thinnest, cheapest seat I've ever seen. Same thing with the lightswitch covers - super cheap and cracked. The bathroom door was the original (circa 1950's) cheap &, beat up. We had a bedside lamp that didn't work. Window was super hard to open and frame was cracked. Had the old floor style, push button heater, AC unit by the window - a la Motel 6; it didn't work well either.
I liked that the receptionist was nice and she upgraded our room when there was a mistake made.
hazy windows.
Beds, pillows, cleanliness, facilities
The staff was pleasant and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. It was a 10 minute walk or a free shuttle bus ride to BART, two stops from SF. And a 2 min. walk to the ferry to SF. Walking distance to many great restaurants in an up and coming part of Oakland.
1- The staff are good. 2- The restaurant is fabulous.
1- Train noise from 6:00 AM for every 15 min. 2- No one to help you move your luggage when check in or out. 3- Room service knock the door at 8:00 AM and insist to clean the room. 4- There is a not nice smell in the rooms.
The room was clean. The environment was decent and the staff was very helpful.
The plumbing fixtures need to be attended to a little more regularly. The drain in the bath tub was faulty.
room had a funny odd smell walls needed a touch up bed and pillows not comfortable *did not like the fact that I was told a price through online, then the "hold fee" doubled what was charged to my card.
Parking was always full
The staff was nice and helpful; check-in was easy; location is excellent. The restaurant out front has delicious breakfasts and they deliver. The hotel offers free newspaper in lobby.
Would be very nice if the rooms had refrigerators. There were two exit doors in our room; one inside and one to the outside courtyard. We jammed a chair up against the one leading to outside. They should not charge $18 to park in the garage; $9 would be fair.
Location and staff were very good not really much to do in that area of Oakland but was close to our venue.
Kinda shabby interior with thin hallway doors that allowed all the noise to be heard quite clearly. Also close to the railroad so we heard trains passing all nite.
Nice clean rooms, super comfy beds, and a beautiful view of the courtyard and pool from every room. Parking is safe and secure. The Buttercup restaurant is excellent!
No complaints whatsoever, I just wish there was a Jacuzzi in the pool area... :-)
My first trip to Oakland was great. The JL Inn was in a very good location and made it easy to get around. I really liked the parking.
Couldn't quite get connected to wifi.
Close to downtown and Bart system
Over priced hotel room that smelled like old used gym socks. Rooms are old and outdated. Felt like I was trapped in the 70's. Would not recommend nor would I return.
The comfort.
The train noise.
Walking distance to Jack London Square.
Someone really should have mentioned BEFORE we booked the room that the train passes by every five or ten minutes during the day and four times throughout the night. Oh, and it blows the horn several times each pass. We should have been told before we arrived that the elevator to our room was broken.
Bed was large and comfortable. Great location and reasonable price.
Shower head inacceptable in room #334.
Courteous and friendly staff
location to restaurants,ferry to San Francisco
Location Rooms Beds Layout Facilities
Name confusing with similar hotel on next block.
Decent place for short stay, friendly staff!
Tight parking spaces Request for non smoking room but I can smell cig in the room, just stay one night, building under renovation. Additional $15/day for parking we stay 9/30/2014
a) the region around the Inn b)A nice place to relax after walking through SF c)What a wonderful view approaching SF by the ferry! d) a good combination of the Inn and the restaurant
Don`t take a room to the railway!! It goes night and day
Close to lots of good restaurants and things to do. Old property but up to date interiors. Within walking distance of downtown but also on the route of the free Broadway shuttle.
Small, cramped room felt more like staying at a cheap motel. Room smelled like strong disinfectant, tv picture went put of whack periodically, shut down one of the elevators which made access worse than it was already.
Our daughter who lives in Oakland recommended the Inn for our visit. We had a great stay - it was well located, clean and the staff was lovely. The Oakland Grill and Blue Bottle Coffee were within walking distance - quality food and drink! Keep it up!
Hate having to pay for parking when rental car prices are already in effect...
friendly staff
need more lighting for reading in the evening.

Chaebol: the story of Samsung and why Apple is after it
The bottomline is that Samsung became one of the most profitable companies in the world in the span of two years, riding the smartphone wave (no, not that Wave). Apple argues it's because Samsung followed the footsteps it has been trailblazing since 2007 with the first iPhone, and is now asking for $2.5 billion of patent infringement compensation in the tech trial of the century that started July 30.

Chaebol: the story of Samsung
- "One genius can feed millions of others. For the upcoming era where creativity will be the most important driver of business success, we need to hire the best. The economic value of one genius is more than $1 billion."
- "The business world has changed significantly. It is becoming increasingly difficult to foresee what sectors will prosper or opportunities will arise in the future. But if you hire the best and brightest, you will solve whatever issues arise in the future."
- "It is difficult to understand the true dimensions of a problem or a situation when so many things seem to be happening on the surface. This is why I urge my employees to analyze a given situation from various perspectives. This way of thinking allows one to see the true aspects of a situation, which, in turn, allows one to respond wisely."
- "Firing a CEO because his financial performance was poor is simply a bad decision. I've encountered several situations where a CEO once performed poorly in one sector then went on to perform much better elsewhere. This is one of the reasons Japanese corporations were able to compete successfully against US corporations."

They forget the part that Samsung would have been a communist concern had the North Koreans been successful in the take-over of Korea in 1950.
Samsung, as well as other Korean companies, owe their success to the US and other International countries that sent soldiers to stand against the North Korean communists in South Korea's darkest hours after being released from Japanese rule after WWII.

Meh. Not much different than the Japanese keiretsu. You would probably see something similar in the U.S. if not for the anti-monopoly laws.

Similar in corporation structure, not corporation culture. The latter is proved that being the key of success everywhere on the world including Apple.

Agree completely. This after having worked in a large American corporation that strives to implement 6-sigma... and struggles immensely because of culture.
The philosophy read was fantastic!
"A judge speaks through judgments, an engineer speaks through products, and a designer should not need to speak."
Awesome stuff and now easier to see how Samsung got to where it is. Through INNOVATION and not simple copy cat. You don't become that hugely successful by hanging onto someone else's coattails. You do it through innovation, foresight, and hiring the brightest minds to drive your own future success.

Even if samsung is driven out of their electric business by apple,they can at least still rely on their construction and insurance divisions to survive. Phew!
6. Fayeznoor (Posts: 65; Member since: 15 Nov 2011)
nice article.
this is exactly what i tell my geek friends, you have to look into Apple's intention rather than copy cat claims. over past decade Samsung has gradually and successfully driven out the Biggest name and biggest innovators in electronic industry like sony, panasonic, toshiba from their core cash making business.
apple is also feeling the heat now, Samsung has already taken out smartphone market by surprise, they are gaining momentum in tablets too. the big question is, why is apple not going after other tablet makers, i don't see any difference in tablets at all. answer is simple, fear of losing the core business (apple core business is iphone and ipad now not macs or ipods)
and another perspective not related to apple , you must have noticed that Samsung is now even pushing hard in Digital Camera market and laptops too. ive used 3 Samsung laptops and they turned out to be amazing. and price for same offering was lower than HP, Dell, Toshiba still higher than Asus
9. rd_nest (Posts: 822; Member since: 06 Jun 2010)
well said man..these guys (referring to Samsung) are ruthless. they have not lost the race to anyone whichever industry they targeted.. it already started happening to smartphones, tablets will follow in few years years.

ive series 5 ultrabook, samsung sf 310, and samsung series 3. though one thing common in them is whenever u boot the laptop firstime, the first step u must take is to uninstall all the Samsung Softwares, and ull see laptop flying high

7. Victor.H (Posts: 461; Member since: 27 May 2011)
Great read. I for once don't find it shocking that Samsung took cues from Apple. Every company would in some way copy a better product when it knows there is one. What impresses is how quickly the Samsung empire turned and managed to deliver competitive products while Nokia, RIM, Sony and many many others missed a couple of years.
Also, it's very interesting how back then Samsung realized the importance of screen size and talks about larger screens competing with eBook readers. That's one area where Samsung really took a risk with the Galaxy Note and won.
18. remixfa (Posts: 14148; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
I dont see evidence of "samsung copying" anywhere in there, like Im sure we will see all over this thread.
That last memo was very telling. Hell, it even mimics things I and others have been saying.. Samsung nails the hardware part of the device better than anyone, but has been failing in its software. Thats part of the reason the SGS series is so popular to mod. With correct software, the phones are a monstrous dream. Also that is the reason I applauded when they made the move of hiring Steve Kond**k and started pulling talent from the Android modding scene.
What I see is a company very aware of its surroundings in the market place. Where Nokia, RIM, and HTC fell to blindness, Samsung quickly saw the market changing capabilities of Apple's iphone. They talk about apple's little effects that users like, like the shrink/grow rebounding of icons, yet that type of stuff was never implemented when it easily could have been (which would have been obviously copying)
I think this article shows without a doubt that Samsung didnt become the biggest android manufacturer.. and now the biggest phone manufacturer by accident or by copying. It became that by being very quick on its feet, very aware of the competition, and taking chances with the changes in UI (Touchwiz 2, 3,4, Nature UX are all very different and each more functional than the last), most definitely in pushing screen sizes and tech, and in their chips.. which are the most powerful chips on the market. They knew they were falling behind in software and they made dramatic steps to improve it through hiring (again, Cyanogen) and through complete UX redesigns.
Can any dissenter name 1 other phone company that reacts and changes that fast?
The article was a great read. :)
With that in mind and the articles presented, I can safely say that the market would be way better off with more "samsung" like companies and less "apple" like companies.

Samsing could put an Apple logo on the back of their phones and you still wouldn't see any copying.
25. thedarkside (Posts: 652; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
yeah because minus the similarities between the iphone and the galaxy s1 there isnt any copying. none.
and how about that sony phone that apple copied?
28. zhypher_23 (Posts: 195; Member since: 04 Jun 2012)
Exactly, the G-Note is one of their flagship products besides the GS3, sh!t what about the G-Note II *Epicnezz :}
8. renegadeXC (Posts: 4; Member since: 02 Aug 2012)
Now, let me see. Samsung already predicted than phones would be used as e-book readers all the way back when there was no iBooks. I smell another lawsuit. Apple's seems to fail to grasp one thing though. It's not the flagship phones that really propel samsung ahead, but their mid-range devices just like what Nokia used to do. The mid-range is where the volume sales are. Samsung should be disclosing this as part of their court submission to prove the Galaxy S series sales where not all that stratospheric as Apple makes them out to be. What the Galaxy S did was actually drive the sales of the mid-tier phones which were capable but not Galaxy S (or iPhone) clone phones. They were mid-tier and really did the job well.

Exactly why the former top exec at RIM said Samsung sharpens their teeth when it comes to competition.
My only complaint about how this is going down is Apple is trying to stop a monopoly by creating one of their own to replace it with. While Samsung might have been influenced by others, they don't seek to ban other manufacturer's devices, it's a common practice in manufacturing. What Samsung does is simply out perform them with quality, something Apple needs to get back to doing. I read a comment earlier this year that nailed it, the analyst said Apple does best when they are ahead of the pack, but since Android, all they've done is run side by side with the big dogs. They lost the computer war and are terrified of losing the mobile war so they've gone into attack mode instead of developer mode. Apple is best when they are focused on innovation, something they've let slip these past 2-3 years. Even die hard Apple fans were let down with iOS6 and many doubt the vision is still there now that Steve has passed on.

grr, being influenced is a common practice, not banning. Doh
27. joey_sfb (Posts: 3227; Member since: 29 Mar 2012)
Well said, to me Apple inc. used to represent Innovation with Style together with top notch marketing.
Now all their creditable engineers, designers and programmers spent their days in courtroom while others top notch manufacturers are busy designing other innovative product that may not even be a phone or tablet.
They adopt expensive lawsuits that force them to reveal more than they are comfortable and forget their primary success factor which is design product that are innovative and stylish.
They forget the world is much much bigger than American. The next innovation may not come from there.
15. shuaibhere (Posts: 1673; Member since: 07 Jul 2012)
Samsung did nothing wrong... its practice to do so in manufacturing....
now apple too put quad core processor in ip5 by seeing competition.....
its gud to see wat is happening around....

It seems like yesterday Samsung products were the last choice.
Tv's for instance, people who can't afford the over expensive Sony hi end tvs, Samsung was an alternate choice.
They did copy or tried to emulate and add more features or made their products better than the competition.
Today, their products are on top of the line.
I am not a fan boy, I change phones whenever something nice comes out ;)
32. McLTE (Posts: 714; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
I recall the days when I sold electronics in the 90's.. I wouldn't give samsung stuff to my worst enemy! It was Sony or Panasonic or RCA even.
I recall reading an interview with top execs at Samsung back then. Their vision was clear.. to rise above and dominate. I was a bit skeptical, thinking.. beat Sony? Good luck!
Well they have. Sony like Apple have themselves to blame for it as well. Instead of striving to stay ahead of the pack, they got cocky and stalled. A company like Samsung is always driving forward.. getting better and they have.
As far as I'm concerned, Apple has nobody to blame for their apparant slide but themselves. Just look at their products.. So little has changed since the original iPhone came out.
It's unfortunate that being an American, where I try to stand by and support American companies.. I can't stand behind Apple, at all.

Muscat City Sightseeing Tour - A Fascinating Capital
Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Muscat City Sightseeing Tour - A Fascinating Capital. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
Pick up from hotel was on time, we were sharing a small vehicle so there was the driver Rasheed and four on the tour. Rasheed was a very good guide who pointed out all the sights and escorted us around and even went out of his way to take me to the local Harley Davidson dealer after the others had been dropped at their hotels. Very helpful and spoke very good English. Tour was at a relaxed pace time at the Grand Mosque was good as we wanted to visit the Islsmic information centre which was on site. Had more than enough time at the fish market, about fifteen minutes then half an hour at the museum and the souk. Just enough time to have a quick look around the souk but you need to visit again to see it all. Because of Islamic new year the tour office was closed but I managed to find an email address for the tour company who run the trip and got the confirmation of pick up times from them via the email.

Excellent guide, great car, superb guiding MUSCAT is BEAUTUFIL, this is the best tour to know it better!
It was great
I could not have asked for more on this tour. As I was on my own for the tour I was a bit anxious about it, but when we got going there were two lovely couples and me, and we all got on well. The guide was really lovely and knowledgable man. He had lived in Muscat and really knew and loved his city, so that the trip was full of interesting stories and information. We went to numerous locations including the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, which is beautiful. However we never felt rushed and his personal touch really made it an excellent tour. Wonderful value for money!
The driver was very kind and helpful, even though he is neither a professional taxi driver nor a tourist guide.
So, buy a book and read yourself what you want to know about art and history of the place.
Apart from this, he came to visit all the sites with us (on foot after parking the car) and was flexible to adapt to all our requests. He bought water for us and even some food.
Car was absolutely new, comfortable and very clean.
Excellent tour and the guide was very informative. The vehicle was very comfortable and clean. We saw all the sights of Muscat: The mosque, corniche, fish market, Sultans Palace, and many more! Great trip.
This is a great introduction to Muscat, the itinerary of this tour gives you a good insight to parts of Omani culture and also Muscat. We were the only ones on the tour and our guide Munil was friendly and well informed, he gave us a great insight to Oman and we especially enjoyed the Grand Mosque, a stunningly beautiful building. We got there early and as we were leaving the tourist buses were arriving. The drive to the Old Town was interesting and we enjoyed the walk through the Souk where there is a very good jewellery shop where you can get Oman necklaces made.
We booked this tour online and had difficulty confirming a pickup time as the office number was not answered and we ended up calling Orient Tours in Dubai who gave us a mobile number of Raju. I would recommend the mobile number is on their website and also included in the Viator contacts for this tour.
Our sightseeing tour was provided by Orient tours. Our guide Abdul aziz met us at a prearranged hotel promptly at 8 a.m and we were pleasantly surprised to find we were the only people booked on the trip. Abdul immediately drove us to the Grand Mosque where he was able to give us a detailed tour despite his rather faltering english. The reason for the early start became obvious after taking two hours to see the mosque - as we left we were met by about 24 coachloads of tourists coming in the opposite direction to see the mosque. We avoided seeing the fish market and then went to look around the Souk. Abdul showed us what was good value and after a coffee and bite to eat we were then taken to Muscat museum at Bait al Zubair which gave us an insight into Omani culture and history, the story of the boat 'Jewel of Muscat' and a worthwhile picture exhibition by various local and international artists as part of the Festival. Abdul was courteous and very helpful and it was a pity that we had arranged transport from the hotel back to our daughter's house at 13:30 as he would have taken us to see the royal palaces and any other sight we requested, but we ran out of time and even local Muscat people seem to get lost in the bewildering street and district system. We would thoroughly recommend this tour- very good value for money but opt for an early start to avoid the heat of the day.
Everything was perfect. Guide was speaking very good English.
I was in Muscat for 4 days and three of them i was working, finally i got the chance to take the tour because i did not have to much time and to much money.
Rashid was our guide and he was quite open to answer all of our questions.
The city tour was amazing but the highlight of it was the Grand Mosque.
A very good tour for the first time vistor to Muscat. We saw most of the main sites and really gained a feel for the layout of the city and confidence to go around later by ourselves. We booked a group tour but there was just us and our really excellent guide Rashid.
An excellent tour and good value for money. The driver/guide, Rashid, was punctual, polite, informative and good company. The tour was comfortable and extremely interesting taking in the Grand Mosque, Muttrah markets and souq and Muscat including the royal palace and museum of Omani life. There was plenty of time to view it all.
Great tour! We had a lovely tour guide, who was a local and knew everything about the city. He made sure we stopped off at all the sights and take pictures. I loved the tour of the mosque. He spoke great English and knew every answer to the questions. Great trip and brilliant value for money. We had such an enjoyable day!
Very interesting and well-planned day
friendly and professional driver. mosque was fantastic,we could also visit the inside.this tour is a must in muscat.

The lowest is in Egmore where DMDK won by 202 votes
The Tirupur (North) Assembly constituency has recorded the highest margin of difference – 73,271 votes.
M.S.M. Anandan of the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam defeated C. Govindasami of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam, who was expelled from the Communist Party of India (Marxist) last year.
Mr. Anandan bagged 1,13,640 votes, while Mr. Govindasami got 40,369 votes.
Palladam, another constituency in the western belt, is next to the Tirupur constituency in terms of margin of votes between the winner and the loser. AIADMK nominee K.P. Paramasivam beat K. Balasubramanian of the Kongu Nadu Munnetra Kazhagam by a margin of 69,776 votes.
Kavudampalayam, yet another western constituency, closely follows Palladam. Here V.C. Arukutty of the AIADMK beat T.P. Subramanian of the DMK by a difference of 69,260 votes.
There were 10 other constituencies where the margin was over 50,000 votes.
Among them were Tiruvarur (margin:50,249 votes) where Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi defeated AIADMK candidate M. Rajendran; Natham (53,089 votes); Athoor (53,932 votes) and Kallakurichi (59,998 votes). In Natham and Athoor, both falling under the Dindigul district, former AIADMK Minister R. Viswanathan and the sitting Revenue Minister I. Periyasamy won respectively.
As for the lowest margin, Urban Development and Information Minister Parithi Ellamvazhuthi lost to K. Nallathambi of the Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam (DMDK) in the Egmore constituency by a margin of 202 votes.
Mr Ellamvazhuthi was elected from the constituency five times since 1985.
In Chengalpattu, where D. Murugesan of the DMDK defeated Pattali Makkal Katchi nominee V.G. Rangasamy, the difference between the two was 291 votes.
Alangulam of Tirunelveli district comes next where Information Technology Minister Poongothai Aladi Aruna of the DMK lost to P.G. Rajendran of the AIADMK by a margin of 299 votes.

Tiruchendur was yet another seat where DMK candidate Anitha S. Radhakrishnan, who was earlier in the AIADMK, won by a margin of 640 votes.

pq2: Calling Million Little a memoir functions as a sort of semantic enhancement, padding Frey's literary basket with violence and excess, the same way George Bush stuffed his flight-suit jock with what appeared to be either sweat socks or a mute Chihuahua.
As anyone not in the grips of a massively exaggerated crank-and-ether binge for the past week or so must surely know, putative khaki badass and macho-adjacent rich kid James Frey has been outed as having invented large chunks of his criminal curriculum vitae.
Here was an author on top: adored by his publishers, their retail outlets and legions of passionately devoted readers. And what kind of thanks does he get? Instead of a call from the Pulitzer committee, or a Nobel nod, he's contacted by The Smoking Gun, a batch of nitpicking idealists with nothing better to do than comb his prose for invented episodes. Little things, like not doing any time when you say you were inside for months, bonding with cons; or claiming to have caused a train wreck and killed a girl, when you didn't do either. (It just happened that she died, and the makings of operatic catastrophe were all there!)
Arts, Entertainment, and Media
To which Oprah Winfrey, the woman who bequeathed him a Book Club kiss and launched him into the mega-sales stratosphere, said, more or less, "So what?" The doubters can call him a liar. He can be derided in print by morally superior literary peers. (Mary Karr, whose memoir, The Liars' Club, remains the best of breed, declared that James had "the moral stature of a mollusk.") But that's missing the point. We're talking melodrama, not morality. Salvation and entertainment, in no particular order. "Let the haters hate!" snarls almost-in-jail-once Jimmy on his Web site. And he's right. Galileo was shunned by all the big dogs of his day, too. Same with Leroy Neiman.
Far from diminishing his genius, the fact that pit-bull-head-size chunks of Frey's memoir are rank fabrications serves only to highlight it. Sure, James Frey could have stuck to the facts. It would have been easy. But an innovator doesn't take the easy way. He innovates. Ignores history for impact. Invents incidents when incidents need inventing, whatever it takes to render a parade of grandiose, ferocious episodes of chemical self-immolation, garnished with boatloads of puke, blood and hugs. He is that bold!
Forget the faux scandale about whether this or that, you know, actually happened. This is all you need to know: BF (Before Frey), writers lived in fear. Slaves to veracity. But James Frey, whose life story rivals only Harry Potter's in popularity, has sniffed the air and caught a whiff of Tomorrow. He has Gone Beyond. Has, by the simple act of casting off accuracy in favor of invoked emotion, ushered in a revolution.
Why bother with accuracy when the feelings are real? Was it three hours in an empty office, or three months behind bars? Doesn't matter! What the writer felt when the stuff that really happened was going on is exactly the same as what his character feels when stuff that didn't really happen goes on in the book. And that's what the reader feels. Keep up with me here.
Imagine, along with the author, what it would be like to be stuck in the joint with all kinds of heavy-duty criminal types. Just because it never happened does not mean it didn't hurt. Or that the book itself is not still a memoir. What goes between the covers is not just a man's history, but a history of what he wishes he had been; life is whatever you think it was. Virtual autobiography for a virtual world — perfect!
Now, finally, a memoirist can cook up epic confrontations and conflicts worthy of the outsize emotions he already feels about himself. And why not? We already have the ability to generate all manner of genuine-looking photographs. If the technology's there, why shouldn't a writer Photoshop his personal history, too? Like Oprah said, it's still valuable. It's still his story.
What this author has done amounts to nothing less than liberation. After Frey's A Million Little Pieces, the writer is free, if he or she wants to be, from oppressive, vaguely Old Europe-y notions about what is or isn't "nonfiction." Like our current president, whose life arc parallels Frey's on so many levels, the self-proclaimed Addict, Alcoholic and Criminal in A Million Little Pieces has stepped over standards and precedent as an impediment to Getting the Job Done. The job, in this case, being the creation of a history compatible with one's own myth.
But wait . . . I swear, I'm so excited I'm spotting. Which may have to do with the hernia operation I endured this morning with nothing but a can of Solarcaine and a half bottle of expired Anacin — which I actually CRUNCH, motherfucker — to take the edge off.

Answer #1patrick mannion from Greg Solow's Engine Room, February 21, 2010, 15:16Master
First check the engine oil level! After that your engine has hydraulic lifters that automatically adjust the intake and exhaust valve clearance using engine oil pressure when the engine is running. Engines with hydraulic lifters need to have oil changes at the recommended intervals to keep the oil clean and fresh and the correct weight or viscosity of engine oil . A small bit of dirt or sludge can "gum" up the lifters and cause the oil not to properly adjust valve clearances. Sometimes this noise goes away after initial start up or after the engine warms up. If it is as simple as "lifter noise" try adding an oil additive called Risolene, it is a low viscosity high detergentcy oil additive that helps clean lifters.

Augsburg picked up their first Bundesliga victory of the season with a 3-1 defeat of Werder Bremen on Friday night.
Tobias Werner gave Augsburg the lead inside two minutes before Kevin de Bruyne equalised in the 19th.
Stephan Hain made it 2-1 to the hosts in the 32nd minute before Daniel Baier scored Augsburg's third 18 minutes from full-time.
Augsburg, who before this had scored only two goals this season, moved out of the bottom three with their first ever win against Bremen, who are mired in mid-table on seven points
Augsburg grabbed the lead early on as Paul Verhaegh crossed into the middle where Werner beat Clemens Fritz to the ball to head home from seven yards.
Bremen equalised inside 20 minutes as De Bruyne's free-kick flew through a crowd of players before bouncing beyond Augsburg goalkeeper Mohamed Amsif.
The hosts regained the advantage after 32 minutes as Knowledge Musona threaded a through-ball to Hain who dispatched the ball beyond Sebastian Mielitz into the left corner.
Augsburg were close to making it 3-1 after 63 minutes but Mielitz blocked Verhaegh's shot.
But the hosts did increase their lead in the 72nd minute as Baier's free-kick wrong-footed Mielitz.
Augsburg almost scored a fourth in the 82nd minute but Werner shot wide after a quick counter-attack, while Milan Petrzela struck the post in the final minute.

John Cusack: Why We Write
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Blog written by: Jeremy Pikser, Mark Leyner & John Cusack
Back in early 2003 the three of us got together to see if we could figure out something to write that would express some of the outrage and feelings of going crazy we had about what was going on around Iraq.
Here we were living in the most powerful country on earth, which had bombed the shit out of a relatively poor and weak country, Iraq, devastating its roads, electricity, drinking water; then proceeded to impose sanctions that resulted in half a million civilian deaths from starvation and lack of medical supplies and facilities, then, using the pretext that because some Arabs from several other completely different countries killed 3000 Americans (that's 1/150 of the Iraqis we had killed in the previous ten years), we bombed the shit out of Iraq AGAIN, and everyone… virtually every journalist attached to anything even remotely mainstream, every politician, every movie star, every everyone was talking about how great and heroic it all was, and we just said, you know, "Fuck This!â€
So we wrote this thing that said, this is all lies. None of this is about freedom or democracy. It's about money and power. We thought the lies these bastards had blanketed the world in were so blatant and outrageous that it would be inappropriate to respond to them with anything that wasn't derisively absurd. Because the idea that we were expected to swallow all that shit was absurd and insultingly derisive to our intelligences and those of everyone on the planet.
So we wrote it. And the people with money didn't see a way to make a profit on it so we got someone to make it in Bulgaria for a fraction of what we really needed. But we made it anyway. And we got great, talented people to work on it and be in it for practically nothing, and now it's done. And we love it. And lots of other folks love it. And we hope you love it.

Faith, Reason, and the War Against Jihadism (Paperback)
Not currently in the store – Usually ships in 1-5 days
With an unsettled Middle East, al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups actively plotting against America and its allies, and spillover from religious conflict in Muslim countries spreading instability and violence worldwide, George Weigel's Faith, Reason, and the War Against Jihadism is an acute analysis of one of the most dynamic forces in world politics today – Islamist jihadism. After tracing the complex historical and theological roots of the jihadist movement, Weigel offers a comprehensive strategy for defeating jihadism and supporting those forces within Islam that seek a Muslim accommodation with religious freedom, the separation of religious and political authority in the state, and other key accomplishments of political modernity. Above all, Weigel insists, the West must take seriously the religious origins and rationale of jihadism if it is to meet the challenge posed by men of violence who claim to act in the name of God.
Essential reading in a time of momentous political decisions, Faith, Reason, and the War Against Jihadism is a clarion call for a new seriousness of debate and a new clarity of purpose in American public life.
About the Author
GEORGE WEIGEL, Distinguished Senior Fellow of Washington's Ethics and Public Policy Center, is a Catholic theologian and one of America's foremost commentators on issues of religion and public life. A Newsweek contributor and Vatican analyst for NBC News, Weigel is the author of fifteen books, including the New York Times bestseller Witness to Hope: The Biography of Pope John Paul II. His work has been translated into more than a dozen languages.
Praise for Faith, Reason, and the War Against Jihadism…
"This brilliant little book is, quite simply, the best analysis of the role played by religion in what I call World War IV."
—Norman Podhoretz
"Absolutely masterful: the moral principles, the strategy, and the tactics to win this war for the survival of the West and democracy are all here—coherent and persuasive. Osama bin Laden and Ahmadinejad will hate this little book above all others."
—R. James Woolsey, former director of the Central Intelligence Agency
"A stirring book: the battle of ideas against Islamist radicalism is now fully joined. George Weigel—a brilliant author with deep knowledge of theology and practical politics—provides a way forward for the western democracies. A badly needed and urgent book."
—Fouad Ajami, director of the Middle East Studies Program at Johns Hopkins University
"Provocative and exacting, George Weigel wants Americans to think more clearly about the way we live now, and in this unapologetically bracing book he lays out a stark vision of the challenges of our time as he sees them. Whether you agree with Weigel or not, you will want to hear him out, for his is a voice worth taking very seriously indeed."
—Jon Meacham, author of American Gospel and Franklin and Winston
"Weigel has written one of the most important books since 9/11. It's a bracing, challenging, and compelling account of the war we are in and which we have to win."
—William Kristol, editor of The Weekly Standard
"George Weigel has produced a thoughtful manifesto that wisely calls for bipartisan unity against a foe that threatens all that we cherish."
—Joe Lieberman, U.S.senator

"I use English muffins and toast them first then put cheese on and then the egg white fluff and add an egg yolk. Add a bit of chives to the egg whites."
"Don't like the sugar and cin. And if you fry the bread on one side first then flip and add the egg yolk it is much better. My dad was Italian and they call it man on a raft."

The Slippery Road From Actions on Objects to Functions and Variables
Tamar Paz; Uri Leron
January 2009, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 18
Functions are all around us, disguised as actions on concrete objects. Our data show that the intuitions about change and invariance entailed by the action-on-objects scheme, although helpful in earlier stages of learning functions, may later come to clash with the formal concepts of function and of composition of functions.

Well now, that's pretty darn true if you ask me. I spied this one my new fav tumblr. So much sweetness. And it's certainly been a week of SERIOUS tea-ing. Two births, one just yesterday… and many cups of tea sipped by this doula. Things are going swimmingly at the shop, and I start a new prenatal course session tonight. Busy like whoa, but I like it this way. Every now and then I need to fall down and be still a few hours, but I really can't complain. Life has been wonderful to me and I'm smiling so much lately.. my cheeks hurt!
Yesterday, just before bedtime, Gretchen and I took a lilac picking stroll through our park and marveled at how beautiful life is. As we strolled down the path, she said to me: "Mama, it's just so beautiful. Can you hardly believe it?"
Oh yes babe. I believe it.

Discussion in 'Patriots Draft Talk' started by mcbee, May 1, 2006.
Pretty impressive. He might be able to take over for McGinnest. Very aggressive.
can you post a link?
I notice one of the Bramlet brothers is a prime recipient of the crushings...
That's a great clip collection, BTW. Take a look at the video of Mario Williams -- it really stands out from all the others because it seems to be largely of one game. That poor QB must have been black and blue by the end of the day.
he reminds me alot of Carl Banks From the NY Giants. Looks like a nice pick up
That's the one huge knock on Williams. I'm pretty sure I heard that he got 9 1/2 of his 13 sacks in 3 games and didn't dominate until his junior year. Very athletic though and seems to have the tools.
didn't find the video...even searched yahoo for it...how do you connect with it??
click the video camera icon near players name
Thank you thank you...my PC was acting up and that made it a lot worse..THANKS great video!!

Just bought an 06 E350 in great shape except that when I press the windshield washer button the wipers move but no fluid squirts out. I don't even hear the pump. I cannot find any reference to the fuse that controls this and there is no chart for the under hood fuse box where it connects in.

2006 Mercedes-Benz E350 Question: Windshield washer doesnt work
Answer #1overbys from Overbys Inc, June 09, 2011, 06:11Master
while someone else presses the washer switch, see if a test
light confirms power to the washer pump. if the test light
flashes, you have a bad washer pump, which is very common.
if there is no power at the pump, you should visit a local
MB specialty shop for diagnosis. it's a real good idea to go ahead a get a relationship with that shop; there will be
a lot of things unique to this car that no other shop can do for you. this is a car that will last you a lifetime if it is cared for regularly by someone with specific MB training.

Thanks for the help! I'll try that.
Any idea abot the under hood fuse box?
the closest MB shop to my house is over 100 miles away. Buy thanks for the suggestion.
I have a pretty mechanic savy eye myself and would usually handle something like this by myself.

2 die in eastern Ky. blaze
Updated On: Oct 21 2013 08:40:30 AM EDT
Two people are dead after a residence in eastern Kentucky caught fire.
Deputy Coroner Denver Bailey told the Lexington Herald-Leader that the blaze occurred early Sunday at a mobile home near Elkhorn City in Pike County.
WKYT-TV reported that Ferrells Creek and Elkhorn City fire departments responded to find a man and a woman dead, apparently from smoke inhalation. Their names were not released.
An autopsy is scheduled for Monday to confirm the causes of death.
State police are still investigating the cause of the blaze.
