"I have never been shy about cutting things up if I had a good idea. To me it was worth the price of a book for the idea it expressed, the interconnecting of different worlds. I could put a Gauguin figure in a Van Gogh landscape, make the composition work, and also say something about their relationship. (Tiny) Tim's appropriation of song is very much like my appropriation of images. We are both collagists taking the elements of different epochs and mixing them to discover new relationships." - Martin Sharp

When Justin decided to post a photo of himself hanging out with Kylie in Las Vegas on his Instagram, we couldn't help but wonder how Selena felt about the shocking pic. Well, a few words that came to her mind were 'desperate,' 'pathetic' and 'a groupie,' an insider reveals to HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. Ouch!
Things between Justin Bieber, 20, and Kylie Jenner, 16, seem to be heating up and apparently his off-again girlfriend Selena Gomez doesn't approve one bit — not that we're surprised! "Selena was not happy that Justin posted a selfie with Kylie," a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.
Selena Gomez Disses Kylie Jenner: She's A 'Pathetic Justin Bieber Groupie'
Perhaps Justin should have thought twice about making his Las Vegas date with Kylie on May 3 so public, but instead he decided to share it with the whole wide world on Instagram!
"Selena was not happy that Justin posted a selfie with Kylie. She thinks Kylie is desperate for attention and is a pathetic Justin Bieber groupie," an insider tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. "It was obvious at Coachella that Kylie had the biggest crush on Justin, she was flirting then and continues to flirt."
And what does Selena think about Justin and Kylie as a possible couple?
"If Justin did in fact start dating Kylie, Selena would lose all respect for him. She thinks it would be so silly and childish," our source reveals.
Justin Takes Kylie To Floyd Mayweather Fight
As HollywoodLife.com previously reported, Justin took Kylie as his date to the Floyd Mayweather fight in Las Vegas on May 3. They also had dinner together with some friends at the Hard Rock Hotel, leading us to ask the question: Did the potential new couple stay in the SAME room?
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Has Selena been majorly dissed by both Justin and Selena? Would YOU be upset if you were Selena? Let us know!

HWL it's crazy some of the lies you print. Selena didn't actually say that stuff that you know of. You just say what ever you want Selena to have said and claim it to be true. Just because you make something up and say it came from an "insider" or "source" doesn't make it true. I just wish more people understood that. If this stuff and a lot of other posts on this true why don't you put a video of your "insiders" saying what you print? I know why it's because you don't have a source other than your own imagination.

a picture that was posted a few days ago, and a picture that was also taken by justin's friend. lil what's his name, whatever. yep! i like to speculate that Justin is always dating other girls, every time he is linked to them. its pretty obvious that he is hated that is why they write stuff like that… as for me, i don't care about him, that is why i could see it clearer if the gossip is a fake one, and i am not bias enough to take side, and reality is, his really free to date anyone. while Selena are now fking old married man who are now divorce. and a big celebrity one at that. Selena doesn't have a taste when it comes to man. it just shows what kind of society we are now producing. along with his fans that reflects her. she may be the heroin while justin is the moron, along time ago even when he is not doing anything stupid yet, due to my observation. Selena thinks big of herself, while making Justin feel he is worthless… no wonder Justin in the end rebels…. cause once upon a time, he was hated, even without her, and when she comes along, she became the fame whore who is the saint, while justin became 10x worse. no wonder justin said she is too high maintenance, their fans keeps covering up that it was not meant for selena, but i just kept my mouth shut. its true though… no adult could miss that. only immature, premature minds would.

Posted at 4:53 AM on May 6, 2014
after she disses bieber, and saying a lot of bad stuff about him to the press, news, to her family and friends… she is the one end up going back to him… now, that is more irritating to the person who has heard all the bad stuff about mister bad boy right?. isn't it? if you are still willing to go back to a person that you still love, or lets say, a part of you still love that person. you should keep your mouth shut! and not talk bad about them, that is the number one step if you want someone back. cause in this case, you are showing to everyone that you don't trust that guy, but you are willing to go back to him… meaning you are going back to him for revenge, and to hurt him. or to make your name smells good again to the press…. that you are the pitiful one. despite of letting him go, just because of compliment from instagram. they suddenly are back together. now who is the dumb one in here? or is she still using Bieber for publicity.
in her case, she did it…. cause she is too high maintenance, and wants bieber all to himself, that she became paranoid at times. cause due to my observation. i believe bieber had those girls when they weren't together anymore. and i believe he is the one who really cares for this hoe. no matter where you look from it.
this is an observation. not a war between your closed minded fan who are defending anyone else. justin bieber though, is really a jerk… but that is due to the haters, that he becomes like this—- my researched.

Kylie was just desperate for attention and she had a crush on Justin so she kept flirting with Justin. She was jealous of Selena so she sent Justin pics of herself.Justin only asked Kylie to go to the match because he wanted Selena to be jealous.Kylie knows no one cares about her so she wants to be with Justin so she can be more popular.

THE sachem commissioner, Tanacharisson, and his successor, Scarooyadi, had evinced a firm friendship for the English on the Ohio border, in conformity with the general policy of the New York Iroquois tribes, while they at the same time freely condemned the English for their tardy movements, and their non-adoption of the Indian mode of warfare. The ultimate consequences of the defeat on the Monongahela were most disastrous. Rumor rapidly disseminated the news in every direction, and all the colonies felt the effects of the blow. The dread of Indian massacres disturbed the quiet of every hamlet; nor was their alarm without due foundation. A band of 150 savages crossed the Alleghanies, and ravaged the frontiers of Virginia and Maryland. Foremost in these forays were the Delawares, under Shingiss, whose ire appeared to have received an additional stimulus from the recent triumph of the Gallic-Indian forces. The Delawares had long felt the wrong which they suffered in being driven from the banks of the Delaware and the Susquehanna, although it was primarily owing to their ancient enemies and conquerors, the Iroquois, whose policy had ever been a word and a blow. The Shawnees, friends and relatives of the Delawares, had been, from the first, a revengeful, warlike, roving people. Originating in the extreme south, they had flitted over half the continent, fighting with every tribe they encountered, until they reached the extreme shores of Lake Erie, where, under the ominous name of Satanas, 269 they were defeated by the Iroquois, and thence fled to the Delaware, and subsequently to the Ohio valley. From an early period they were avowed enemies of the colonies, and this enmity never ceased, until after the overthrow, in 1814, of the wide-spread conspiracy of Tecumseh. Both tribes, in lineage, as well as in language, were Algonquins, and adopted their policy; from first to last being cruel enemies in war, in peace, treacherous friends. While the gloom caused by the defeat of Braddock, and the evidences of Indian hostility, which assumed a tangible shape during the autumn and winter of 1753, still
hung like a cloud on the western frontier, an auspicious sign appeared in the East. The Iroquois threw the weight of their influence in the English scale. It having been a part of the original plan of the campaign to take Crown Point, on Lake Champlain, this enterprise was entrusted to General William Johnson, an officer of the New York militia, whose settlement in the Mohawk valley, and influence with the Indians, have been previously mentioned. Johnson was placed in command of 5000 or 6000 New York and New England militia, and a chosen body of Mohawk warriors under

This is a very simple and powerful submission from Side Control. This choke was introduced to me while I was training in Brazil by a brown belt nicknamed Pedron. This was his go to submission and he would tap everyone with it.
Make sure to dominate the position of Side Control before trying to submit your opponent. Use that shoulder in the face and chalk the hip with your hand that is feeding the lapel.
There is only one portion of this move that has to go quickly and that is the hand feeding the lapel to the hand behind the head. It's not because they will defend the choke but more so because you will not have anything blocking their hips for the time that you feed that lapel. After you feed that lapel get your hand back to the hip as quickly as possible. Once you have gotten to this step you should have almost a 100% finish rate.
Keep your hips low, get on the balls of your feet and drive forward. One of the difficulties that my students had was that they would have to tight of a grip on the lapel and would not be able to straighten their arm. It is important that you drive forward and let your body weight naturally straighten your arm. If you try to manually doing it using the muscles in your arm it will never work.
Give this some rep time before trying it in rolling so that you can feel the distancing on the lapel grip and how to drive forward. This is a no nonsense submission and is an important part of my game.
Thanks for watching!

An absolutely lovely diamond engagement ring from the Art Deco (ca1920) era! This beautiful piece has a single Old Mine cut diamond stone that rests in the center of a delicate 18kt white gold filigree mounting. The center diamond has an approximate total weight of .70ct, with I color and VS2 clarity. The diamond is prong set in an octagonal box setting which sits atop the delicate wirework mounting with floral accents. Set on the shoulder of both sides of the diamond are two additional bezel set diamonds. These stones are old European Cuts and have an approximate total weight of .16ctw with H-I range color and VS range clarity. The ring was appraised by an independent and accredited GIA certified gemologist in November 2014 and has a stated retail replacement value of $7,000.00. It is an absolutely beautiful ring and would make a stunning engagement ring!
Measurements: The ring is a finger size 6 but it could easily be resized.
Condition: The overall condition of the ring is excellent. Besides normal surface wear, there is no apparent damage to the gold or to the diamond, which is intact.

This word, which had been mentioned in a previous chat by one of our regular participants, inspired the topic for this week's #ElderCareChat.
Defined by Merriam-Webster as "an imaginary object of fear" or "something that causes fear or distress out of proportion to its importance," the real-time conversation on Wednesday covered all the bugaboos we hear, or may have even once believed, about elders, elder care, and caregiving in general. We crashed TweetDeck on more than one occasion as all 66 attendees rapidly fired away on common myths — most of which are based on fear or ignorance — and worked towards truth-telling, advocacy, awareness and education.
There were so many excellent responses shared that we couldn't get to all the questions allotted; because the dialogue was so dynamic, we may do a "Part 2" of this particular topic.
Here are a few highlights (but be sure to review the full transcript for more):
Q1. In your opinion, what is the most commonly misunderstood thing about elder care?
@GracefulAging: Myth: "I can wait a bit more before doing anything further."
@HelloHomeCare: How aging changes responses to medication. This is a very serious misunderstanding.
@Caregiving: Myth: Medicare pays for long-term care either at home or in a nursing home.
Q2: What are some of the myths about caring for elders/caregiving in general?
@AlvitaCare: Coddle-ing vs. helping. Elderly people need help, but keeping independence (where possible) is important.
@EncompassSenior: Elders wanting to be dependent on someone else is a myth.
@CaringWise: Myth about caring for elders: that the child becomes the parent. The caregiver, yes; the parent, no.
Q3: What are some of the myths about Alzheimer's and dementia?
@MedicalNotice: That it is a normal part of the aging process.
@eCaring: Myth: Alzheimer's is the only type of dementia. Lewy body and others get little attention.
@BrainToday: This is a pretty destructive myth: If you have the ApoE4 gene, you will certainly get Alzheimer's. Far from true.
Q4. What are some of the myths about senior living (independent living, assisted living, etc.)?
@JordanEM: Just places to go and die.
@SandwichINK: Myth: that if a senior is in a care facility, they can't/won't be required to leave if "issues" arise.
@ShelleyWebbCSO: Repeat; Myth – that Medicare covers Assisted Living and senior living.
Q5. What are some of the myths about home care and hospice?
@VNSNY_News: Biggest hospice myth is that hospice = giving up. It's particularly bad in #NYC where we never admit defeat.
@MetLaugh: Myth:"Hospice kills people. They come to your house to end your life."
@SrCareCorner: Myth: if someone checks on mom 2-3 times a week she is fine!
Q6: What is our role in dispelling these myths & where is education most needed?
@CPI_Training: Education needed right in school–nursing, therapists, etc–to give people skills to provide quality care.
@SeniorMoving: Depends on the myth. Some need to educate health providers, some seniors, some caregivers and many the community at large.
@powerscooters: Engaging in chats like this and even in person can help debunk the myths; the more you talk about it the more attention it gets.

The heartbroken lovers will make their first public appearance together after the affair in a video thanking fans — we're so excited to the them again!
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have not been spotted together since her shocking affair, but it has been revealed that the dynamic duo WILL be seen again to promote Breaking Dawn — and we have the first date!
Rob, 26, and K-Stew, 22, will be joined by Taylor Lautner in a farewell video that will be presented to fans at a November 7 Mexican screening by 40 Estadio Azeca, the organization reveals on their Facebook page.
We bet fans will be THRILLED to see the couple together again — even if it is just a video!
Kristen recently spoke to Total Film about feeling ready to leave the Twilight series behind.
"Everyone thinks it's hard to say goodbye, but its harder to say goodbye to crews and casts that I've only spent five weeks with. This was four years. I'm ready to say goodbye. I'm perfectly fine. Once the story has been told, you feel like you've done all you can do. It's pretty easy to walk away. It's not like its going anywhere. This one's mine, forever."
Are YOU excited that Rob & K-Stew will soon be seen together in public again, HollywoodLifers?

These two young actors having given so much happiness and joy to all of their Twilight fans, it is now time to leave them alone. All of this bad mouthing about each of them is not necessary. If they belong together and want to be together so let them, if they want to part, let them. All of this
is none of the public's business, enough already.
Only love remains.

All this is OBVIOUSLY a publicity stunt but not necessarily one Kristen, Robert or ANY of their Twilight FANS volunteered for. Hollywood did this JUST to cause them PAIN so they could make money off the TEARS of YOUNG GIRLS! You KNOW these extreme Twilight obsessions were PREVENTABLE, and SO many Twilight Fans are STILL in emotional turmoil because of this Robsten breakup PR stunt.

Russia Begins Construction of New Anti-Missile Radar
Posted By admin On August 13, 2013 @ 4:49 am In World News | Comments Disabled
RIA Novosti [1]
August 13, 2013
The construction of an advanced early missile warning radar will begin on Tuesday in central Russia to enhance the capabilities of the country's missile defenses, a Defense Ministry spokesman said.
The new Voronezh-class radar will be built near the town of Orsk in the Orenburg region as part of the comprehensive missile early warning network to be completed in Russia by 2020, Col. Alexey Zolotukhin told reporters on Monday.
"In addition to the Orenburg radar, the preparations for construction of new-generation radars are underway in the Krasnoyarsk and the Altai territories," Zolotukhin said.
The new assembly technology allows the construction of radars from standard container-type macro-modules at the place of deployment, while the infrastructure required for this purpose is minimal. As a result, the radar deployment period has been reduced to 12-18 months, compared to 5-9 years previously, the spokesman said.
Four Voronezh-class radar stations built with the use of high factory-readiness technology are already part of the Russian missile early warning network.
A Voronezh-DM radar is on combat duty in the Krasnodar territory and a Voronezh-M radar – in the Leningrad region. The Voronezh-DM radars in the Kaliningrad and Irkutsk regions are in the testing stage of operation.
Voronezh-class radars have an operational range of 6,000 kilometers (3,728 miles). They can be quickly redeployed to a new site and require a smaller crew to operate, compared to previous generation stations.
Deputy Defense Minister Yury Borisov said after visiting a Voronezh-M radar in Siberia's Irkutsk Region earlier in August that Russia's new-generation missile early warning radars are far superior to any similar foreign models.

We love the brilliance of this aqua blue Swarovski crystal cross pendant, nicely designed at .8125"H. It comes on a sterling silver bead chain, with a clasp that is adjustable to any length between 16" and 18". The bead chain of 16" is followed by a 2" section of linked chain and dangler in the shape of a star. The lobster claw clasp can be connected anywhere on the linked portion of the chain. Comes in a clear top pendant gift box. A beautiful gift for any occasion!

Could Wenger Tame Barton?
Arsene Wenger has described Joey Barton as "a great player" but says he will NOT be trying to sign the controversial Newcastle midfielder. Arsene Wenger: "Nobody dismisses signing Joey Barton but I don't think we envisage doing that at the moment. "I like the courage of the player. He's a good player. Sometimes there's trouble with his temper but he's a great player. "Maybe the way to sort Barton out is to sign him. Maybe that's the solution."

Since 1848, the Moser family has produced highly regarded Austrian wines from their estate vineyards in the Rohrendorf, Kremstal, and Apetlon at Lake Neusiedl appellations. Their contribution to modern viticulture is similarly noteworthy. In the 1950s Dr. Lenz Moser developed his eponymous growing method in which the vines are trained to grow higher, thereby making vineyard work easier. His twin sons, Laurenz and Sepp took over the estate in the mid- 20th century. The adulterated wine scandal in the mid-1980s decimated Austrias export market these lost revenues led to the decline and eventual sale of the winery. As a result, Sepp Moser was reborn in 1987 as Weingut Sepp Moser. In this new iteration, Sepp kept reduced its total holdings, keeping only their best vineyards in Rohrendorf and in Apetlon,. In 1991, Nikolaus began assisting his father and in 2000 assumed complete responsibility of the 82 acre estate. All Sepp Moser wines are certified organic and/or biodynamic.

the ultimate in smartphones
The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 is a fantastic device that combines the latest technology with a sleek and sophisticated style.
What We Like
If you're looking for a smartphone that is packed with power, then the Galaxy Note 2 could definitely be the one for you! Keeping up with the latest in technology, Samsung have equipped this device with a quad-core processor that, at 1.6GHz, makes the Note 2 the fastest phone to be released up to date, whilst also enabling it to be quicker than a vast variety of laptops.
With 64GB of inbuilt memory and the ability to accept a microSDXC card of up to another 64GB, the Samsung Note 2 has by far enough storage capacity to satisfy even the fussiest of users, especially when you also consider the whopping 2GB of Ram that can be found here.
As you would hope to find on a newly released, high end smartphone, the Galaxy Note 2's screen produces fantastic images that are both bright and vivid, thanks to its Super AMOLED screen. However, some users may be disappointed to learn that, at 1280 x 720 pixels, the resolution here is less than what we got with the original Samsung Note.
Because the Note 2 has so much to offer, we were more than slightly concerned that the battery life on this new release would be shockingly bad, and that the device wouldn't be able to cope with all its new features. Samsung hasn't disappointed though, equipping the mobile with a 3100mAh power supply that ensures that the new Note 2 can last as long as any other high tech smartphone on the market.
What We Don't Like
The most obvious feature of the Galaxy Note 2 is its sheer size; at 151mm long, and 81mm wide, this latest release from Samsung is even bigger than its predecessor, something which many users will find off-putting. Although it may be thin enough to sit comfortably in one hand, this tablet-like device requires two to be used, which isn't exactly convenient. However, we were not really surprised to find that this is the case, especially as the original Note couldn't exactly be called small.
Whilst the size of the Samsung Galaxy 2 may be a problem for some, we cannot help but feel that this mobile is a brilliant device that deserves serious consideration by anyone looking to purchase a new smartphone.
The inclusion of the latest type of processor, the quad-core, along with the more than impressive 2GB of RAM ensures that this new release from Samsung is without doubt the quickest mobile phone on the market today, making it perfect for gaming and surfing the web.
Thanks to its improved battery life, and 4G technology, the Galaxy Note 2 is an ideal device for anyone looking to get the very best out of a new style smartphone.
Avg. Rating
5.1Nice one, I Have this using for long at school for my files and some notes stuff's.
The size is not bad but still big to place inside my pocket, but still I needed it so much.
For me Sony Ericson is the best and good phone, for my calls no lags even miss calls is recorded and battery is cool can last until 2 days.
I have the galaxy Note N7000 and is good enough of course the galaxy Note 2 is better.
My galaxy was bad I am not enjoying it anymore, it is cool but then it is the bad phone for savings files and without backup if it gets ruin it will never be save.
Calling stylus in fancy way as s-pen wont change the fact that its all a stylus with some fancy features but practically useless, people gave up resistive touch screen coz they fed up of stylus.
LG optimus is still a winner for me, having a 7,700 quadrant score and the display is best, the premium polarized glass materials is more accurate video recorder and photo shots.
For me it is amazing phone that I really loving the experience of having it so far from 3 days of purchasing it. I am still having fun using it as of now.
I was an N8 user, after that I bought oneX, camera was too bad, I sold that for Note2 and performance of this set is much satisfactory, like the video recording is too good with a slow and fast recording.
The stange thing is that after signing in with the username and password provided by the telecom company for changing configurations of the modem, the sign is gone.
I have the note and the note 2 the note 1 has what seams to be a bigger screen despite 5.3 and the note 2 a 5.5 and has more mp on the front camera it has more mega pixels and can stream football and t.v straight from the net but it is slow. the note 2 is almost the same as the not one but a lot faster but then cant stream has less screen pixels and less mega pixels if the note was faster I would pictures that the note 2 over 1 if it could stream any one know how I can make this happen.
Well, my Note2 survived 2 days with me. I had many mobile phones before that and I never had any problems with them, then the Note 2, It did not nearly leave my pocket and I did put it to charge and when I came back it had a crack on the side The company insist that I dropped it and refused to repair through the guarantee the other thing, that they did not have any replacement and they said I had to wait till it is available, It is my last time with any Samsung products.
This phone is simply so awesome, that u wont regret even a bit after buying this monster. I m using it from past 1 week but let me tell you that there isn't any lag at all in this phone. Its got 2gb ram man how can it lag? And Samsung has given this monster the best display ever. All in all this is the best phone available in the market if size isn't an issue for you.
Nokia never had that throne, Sony Ericsson was by far the longest lasting phones. I used to buy and sell and repair and Nokia is the brand to go for if you want degrading hardware. All old symbian phones die slowly but surely, until they just stop in one way or the other. 6120c for example, NEVER seen an old one that didn't have sudden reboot issues, those things would last a year and then get worst till they would not reboot at all.
Screen Brilliant, Processor amazingly fast, there is no app in the market this phone can't run, the S Pen works perfectly and the hand writing recognition is amazingly sensitive. Although I feel that the S Voice responds a little slower. Another small lag is when you open the S Note with the pen. It takes about 3 to 4 seconds. In comparison to all other apps, this time is actually slow, but when your using a phone like this you feel it too, because everything else is actually faster.
I just brought SN2. Mine is titanium gray and its very well built good looking. Inspite of the big size it does not feels heavy. I am little bit disappointed about resolution. I am normally HTC fan I buy this only for bigger screen and S pen. This is a powerful device but I still miss quality built and sense of HTC.
Without a doubt, the best smart phone in the market. I owned 3 I Phones before getting my Note a little over 2 weeks ago and it has amazingly changed the way I use a hand-held device. It's a freaking computer! I use it more than my laptop.
Actually, I always like and using Samsung Galaxy Note II but it is not support with Khmer Unicode in Cambodia. If you can fix Khmer Unicode can support on Galaxy Note II as soon as possible, there will be have many Cambodian people happy to use it further more then you would expand your market in Cambodia as well.
Its a full computer into your hands everywhere you may go. The S Pen is of great use at university and meetings. Just epic. The 2 Gb of Ram kicks in when playing heavy games or multitasking. They could just had fitted an A15 cpu in it with a fresh new gpu, but the Exynos 4412 and Mali 400mp4 is up to anything by now.
My biggest fear in holding a phone is dropping in the sinks at my hair salon in Atlanta. I care it everywhere! Since we got the 4GLTE here in Atlanta, I've been tempted to get the Note 2 with AT&T; taking notes would be great. But I've heard HTC phones are great around water.
This is just perfect! I love it. Responsive, fast and easy to use. Canbe quite delivate at times and might hang every now and then, but these are things that you will be very willing to pass off as this phone isjust superb!
I do not know about a lot of people but I still think that there are a lot of better touchphones out there. Yeah, it is great but not that outstanding.
Honestly, I hate this phone. It is just too much for me. I should have stuck to much simpler phones that are within my range.
What more could one ask for? Its aMOLED touchscreen is very responsive and the size of the screen is really convenient. It makes all cell phone using much easier. Connectivity options are also varied especially with the 2g, 3g and 4g network capability. On top of it all, and what I like the most is its 8MP camera. Talk about quality pictures!
I do not know but the battery seems to drain awfully fast. I mean, mobile phones are not actually known to have long lasting batteries but with the note 2 it seems to get all exhausted much faster.
Thanks for your publication. I would love to opoinin that the very first thing you will need to accomplish is verify if you really need fixing credit. To do that you need to get your hands on a duplicate of your credit history. That should really not be difficult, because government mandates that you are allowed to receive one absolutely free copy of your real credit report every year. You just have to inquire the right persons. You can either look at website for the Federal Trade Commission or perhaps contact one of the major credit agencies instantly.
One thing I have actually noetcid is always that there are plenty of common myths regarding the financial institutions intentions if talking about property foreclosures. One fantasy in particular is the fact that the bank desires your house. Your banker wants your dollars, not your home. They want the funds they loaned you having interest. Averting the bank will simply draw some sort of foreclosed realization. Thanks for your publication.

I'm sorry but I don't have the time to do every possible vroisen Opera Mini with every certificate type. The Opera Mini 6.5 and 7.0 on this page have both Verisign and Thwate certificates. Oprea Mini 4.4 on this page is Verisign only. If those don't work for you there are instructions here showing you how to create your own . http://lzslakth.com [url=http://ymdnslyyyv.com]ymdnslyyyv[/url] [link=http://ajoncjugoo.com]ajoncjugoo[/link]
Opera Mini is no longer srueoptpd by Opera. There are lots of server side bugs (cookie problems, most login forms are brokenetc.). Any touchscrren phone should be modern enough and powerful enough to run Opera Mini 4.4. I'm not wasting my time to modify Opera Mini 3.2 for you.

You mean a fake iPhone or something like that? Some of them don't let users inatlsl apps or don't support Java at all.If the phone supports inatlsling apps one of the following methods should work.1. Go to the website where the app is available using the phone's browser and click the download link, the app should download and inatlsl2. Download the app to a PC. Copy the the app (.jad file) to the phone's memory card using a cable or card reader. Using the the phone's file manager click on the app's jad file on the memory card and the app should inatlsl.
Dear Dennis, Thanks for the great info! I am considering to use T-mobile data day pass. I have HTC legned and not sure if it can be used for T-mobile. I am also wondering if you know which one is better for data plan (i don't care talk/text)- Pay as you go or Mobile Broadband Passes? Thank you!!
Dennis, thanks for a great post, it was rellay helpful. I'm planning a vacation in New York and New England in the summer (I live in Sweden) and at the moment I'm trying to find the best solution to keep on surfing over there with my iPhone 3G.

CRESWELL, Ore. — One Creswell city councilor is leaving his post for a new career.
A.J. O'Connell is resigning from the council effective Monday night. He plans to move to California for a job at a YMCA there and says although he's enjoyed his time on the council, he's ready to pursue this career change.
The 26-year-old helped to resolve skydiving issues with the Creswell airport and supported the city's efforts to increase public safety with an extra Lane County Sheriff's deputy this year. He was elected to the city council in November 2012 and also took part in an unsuccessful run for mayor last year.

piña colada cake
You might want to start rolling your eyes right now, you know, to get a head start before you hear what I'm about to say next: You know that time I dashed off to Aruba for a lazy weekend? I couldn't find a decent piña colada anywhere. I know! Can you imagine having to suffer like this while on vacation? I mean, life is hard enough when your resort has a water slide with no age limit that deposits one mere feet from the swim-up bar; where you can cat-nap under your cabana while reading a book — with pages — any time being awake is just too exhausting to bear and wake up to gaze at the turquoise water meeting the impossibly blue sky until all of your thoughts file neatly into order. Obviously a watered-down piña colada from a piña colada mix is taking things just one step too far.
All joking aside, can we eversobriefly have a moment of silence for a once-great drink that's been drained of all frolic and joy — waves of sharp pineapple juice, creamy coconut foam and a dark island rum undercurrent — by beachside hotel bars trying to increase their profit margins? That pour corn sweetened weakly flavored mixes from cartons and clear rum from a no-name brand with ice into a blender and think this is what one travels all the way from NYC in the dead of winter for? Once upon a time, a coworker taught me the secret to astoundingly delicious piña coladas, and it is not pineapple juice but crushed pineapple from a can in its juice. You run this through the blender with ice, cream of coconut and enough dark rum to make you arch your eyebrows and blink a few times after the first sip, but quickly return for your second, pour it into a glass, pop a pineapple wedge and a paper umbrella — yes, even if you're snowbound in your living room in the Northeast, actually especially if so — near the rim and beam yourself anywhere you want to be.

So exhausted right now, having to edit 36 images for a campaign I shot last week and so I'm in the office on a Saturday afternoon - the day before I'm due to fly out to Europe for at least a month and I haven't even packed yet... Still! I've been doing my absolute darndest to post everyday - and though I've slipped a little this week i'm going to try and get a few happening for ya'll. Luckily I've had these pics of gorgeous babe and friend Camille on ice for a little while waiting to share... and speaking of ice, props to this girl for rocking this little slip of a dress in what felt like sub zero temperatures. Ahhh London feels so long ago now! Here's hoping I get the chance to pop across the drink and hang out with Camille and Sandra again.

Past Shows:
Monster Hunters
Filmmaker Peter Von Puttkamer discussed his most recent work tracking six groups of Monster Hunters on a mission to find physical evidence of the Jersey Devil, Chupacabras, and Yowies. According to Puttkamer, the Jersey Devil legend may have started in the 18th century when a deformed child was born to the Leeds family. There are many reports of people seeing an actual biological creature, he explained, including a detailed account from a fire department that used their hoses to trap the Jersey Devil on the roof of a house. Puttkamer shared his investigation into the Yowie, an Australian cryptid similar the North American Bigfoot. He said one community he spoke with claimed to have had regular sightings of the eight foot tall hairy ape-man. Puttkamer also talked about Cadborasaurus and the Naden Harbor carcass, the Tasmanian Tiger, his bloody encounter with land leeches in Australia, as well as his upcoming documentary, Peyote to LSD, in which he explores the u ...

hi Guys!
I have 4x4 2012 automatic doble cab tacoma TRD Sport Package with less than 10,000 miles and always, hitting speed bumps, a strong click sounds on 70-75% on suspension compression. It also sounds sometimes at the beginining of the bump, but commonly after passing.
I was unable to see a mark or friction point in the suspension. This truck comes with blistein shocks from factory.
It also seems that with the car cold, early morning, sound more
Any idea about what's happening?
Does this truck needs Molibden grease on front suspension? I could not see the grease points as I see it in my previous Hilux.

Michael McAlpine invented a 3-D printed bionic ear that enables super-human hearing.
When we think of superpowers, flying, x-ray vision, and the ability to deploy a sticky spider web substance from our palms are the things that usually come to mind. And while those classics will forever be the envy of us mere mortals, they're not the only skills that separate us from our favorite superheros and villains.
So far, superheroes are only fictional. But some of their powers already exist in the world, possessed by a whole range of strange species. Some creatures have even more amazing, surprising, weird, funny or disgusting powers than any superhero.
America's Cup racing, angel investing, philanthropy — tech billionaires pursue such boring hobbies. Why can't they be like Tony Stark, who uses his vast fortune (estimated at $7.9 billion) and tech know-how to become the superpowered do-gooder Iron Man? Here are a few caped crusaders we'd like to see our favorite rich nerds transform into. […]

Should There Be A Mandatory "Cooling Off Period" Before Divorce?
Do you think couples should be forced into a "cooling off" period before divorcing? And how would you feel about getting an official letter from your spouse warning you that divorce is imminent?
The "Second Chances" Act has been co-authored by William J. Doherty, a family social science professor at the University of Minnesota, and retired Georgia Supreme Court Chief Justice Leah Ward Sears, in an effort to eliminate "unecessary" divorces.
"Most of today's divorces are over "what we call 'soft' reasons" – the average divorce occurs in a marriage that was relatively happy, with low levels of conflict, just two years earlier," said Mr. Doherty. 'Children fare worse in these kinds of divorces, he said, because their families seem stable and content, and then 'the bottom falls out' of their world."
The Second Chances Act could be waived in special circumstances like adultery, abuse and addiction, but the purpose is to make divorce less of a knee-jerk reaction and more of a last resort. The act would also require parents of young children to attend "divorce education" classes. It hasn't fully been introduced in any state, but its cause is gaining momentum.
I honestly don't think this is such a bad idea, as long as they do provide the exceptions above for people in abusive situations. Divorce shouldn't be undertaken just because you've grown apart or grown bored with each other – especially if you have children together. They deserve every chance they can get at an intact family. Waiting a bit and getting counseling could be good for everyone involved. At least you can say you really tried, even if it doesn't end up working out.
What do you think? Is this a good idea, or is it too intrusive?

From the U.S. Coalition for World Class Math:
'Balanced' illiteracy
"Balanced literacy" failed when it was tried in New York City schools, writes Alexander Nazaryan in the New York Times. Yet, the new schools chancellor, Carmen Fariña, plans to bring it back. She also promises to return "joy" to classrooms.
Lucy Calkins, a Columbia University scholar, championed the idea: "Teaching writing must become more like coaching a sport and less like presenting information," she wrote.
Students' joyful exploration of reading and writing would be "unhindered by despotic traffic cops," writes Nazaryan, who taught English. But "studies showed that students learned better with more instruction."
I take umbrage at the notion that muscular teaching is joyless. There was little joy in the seventh-grade classroom I ran under "balanced literacy," and less purpose. My students craved instruction far more than freedom. Expecting children to independently discover the rules of written language is like expecting them to independently discover the rules of differential calculus.
The fatal flaw of balanced literacy is that it is least able to help students who most need it.
Middle-class students with lots of enrichment at home may be able to teach themselves to write, he concedes. His students needed to be taught.
Nazaryan was "yanked out of the Soviet Union at 10." His English-as-a-second-language teacher, Mrs. Cohen, "taught me the language in the most conventionally rigorous manner, acutely aware that I couldn't do much until I knew the difference between a subject and a verb."
He became a teacher "to transmit the valuable stuff I'd learned from Mrs. Cohen and other teachers to young people who were as clueless as I had been."
Update: Fariña is ignoring the research, writes Dan Willingham. Students in New York City's Core Knowledge schools did much better in reading than students taught with the city's version of balanced literacy.
Why return to a teaching method that didn't work well? Marc Tucker thinks Fariña "knows how effective it can be in the hands of highly competent teachers with good leadership."
Moats: Core fail
Common Core standards are appropriate for the "most academically able" students, says Louisa Moats in a Psychology Today interview. At least half of students will not be able to meet the standards. A nationally known expert on teaching reading, Moats helped write the standards.
Students doomed to "fail" core-aligned tests need a "range of educational choices and pathways to high school graduation, employment, and citizenship," says Moats. Notice she doesn't mention college.
The standards call for the use of "more challenging and complex texts," which will benefit older students, she says. But that may hurt younger students.
Novice readers (typically through grade 3) need a stronger emphasis on the foundational skills of reading, language, and writing than on the "higher level" academic activities that depend on those foundations, until they are fluent readers.
Teachers aren't prepared to teach the new standards, says Moats.
Classroom teachers are confused, lacking in training and skills to implement the standards, overstressed, and the victims of misinformed directives from administrators who are not well grounded in reading research.
. . . The standards treat the foundational language, reading, and writing skills as if they should take minimal time to teach and as if they are relatively easy to teach and to learn. They are not. The standards call for raising the difficulty of text, but many students cannot read at or above grade level, and therefore may not receive enough practice at levels that will build their fluency gradually over time.
Teachers have received no sensible guidance on how to teach students with learning disabilities, she adds.
What little time there is for professional development is being taken up by poorly designed workshops on teaching comprehension of difficult text or getting kids to compose arguments and essays. This will not be good for the kids who need a systematic, explicit form of instruction to reach basic levels of academic competence.
I've been around a long time, and this feels like 1987 all over again, with different words attached to the same problems. When will we ever learn?
This is a devastating critique.

Oversharing to get into college
One Yale applicant wrote that she peed her pants rather than break off a conversation with an admired teacher. Another wrote about his small genitalia, recalls Michael Motto, a former Yale admissions offer. "He was going for something about masculinity and manhood, and how he had to get over certain things."
Oversharing has gone over the top in college admissions essays, writes New York Times columnist Frank Bruni. that assessment. "There are accounts of eating disorders, sexual abuse, self-mutilation, domestic violence, alcoholism, drug addiction."
"Being a little vulnerable can give great insight into your character," said Joie Jager-Hyman, a former admissions officer at Dartmouth College and the president of College Prep 360, which helps students assemble their applications. "I've had successful essays on topics like 'my father's alcoholism' or 'my parents got divorced because my dad is gay.' "
But going too far "can raise red flags about students' emotional stability and about their judgment."
Affluent parents pay admissions counselors to help students come up with just the right amount of angst.
Michele Hernandez, another prominent admissions counselor, runs one or more sessions of an Application Boot Camp every summer in which roughly 25 to 30 kids will be tucked away for four days in a hotel to work with a team of about eight editors on what she told me were as many as 10 drafts of each of three to five different essays. The camp costs $14,000 per student. That doesn't include travel to it, the hotel bill, breakfast or dinners, but it does include lunch and a range of guidance, both before and during the four days, on how students should fill out college applications and best showcase themselves.
One of my daughter's high school friends wrote a touching essay about coming out as gay. It got him into an Ivy League college. He's not gay, but at least he did his own lying.
"The unlived life is not worth examining," responds Robert Pondiscio in a comment.
To a significant degree, these kinds of self-involved, narcissistic essays are explicitly taught and encouraged in K-12 schools from elementary school onward. New York City schools in particular have long been dominated by the Teachers College Reading and Writing Project approach to writing, made (in)famous by literacy guru Lucy Calkins, which teaches children as young as third grade to plumb the depths of the seven-year-old souls for "seed ideas" for personal narratives for their "writer's notebooks." Those ideas are then painstakingly massaged into "small moment" pieces, personal narratives and even, yes, memoirs.
The kids . . . learn to conflate the confessional and self-involved with "great writing."
"If elite colleges stopped asking for personal essays as an admission requirement and instead asked for two piece of graded academic writing — a research report, an English or history paper — the market for confessional writing would dry up by sundown," writes Pondiscio. "It would also be a better barometer of college readiness."
And perhaps it would dry up the market for $14,000 four-day college-app cram camps.
Pondiscio, who's just signed on as senior fellow and vice president for external affairs at Fordham, has more in a post on a Fordham blog.
17 states will require the ACT
By next year, 17 states will require all 11th graders in public school to take the ACT, reports the Chronicle of Higher Education. Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, and Wisconsin have jumped on the bandwagon. ACT scores are used to judge college readiness — and to encourage more students to apply to college.
ACT, which has passed SAT as the most commonly used college admissions test, will provide more information to students on their readiness.
Starting next year, test results will include a "STEM Score," representing a student's performance on the mathematics and science portions of the exam, and an "English Language Arts Score," which will combine the student's performance on the English, reading, and writing sections.
A new indicator will show whether a student is likely to be able to understand college-level texts.
Another will assess career readiness — applied math and reading for information — for students who take the ACT and ACT's WorkKeys tests. Illinois and Michigan require 11th graders to take both exams.
ACT also is modifying the optional writing test. Essays will be scored on ideas and analysis, development and support, organization, and language use.
Dead Poets' me-me-me message
Dead Poets Society, which came out 25 years ago, has had a pernicious influence on young writers — and on college English departments — charges novelist Stephen Marche in Esquire.
The story is a classic tale of writerly egomania, transferred onto the figure of a teacher. Robin Williams playing John Keating — he was nominated for an Oscar for his performance — was the origin of the "cool teacher" cliche that humiliated so many of us in the 1990s. Instead of staying in a classroom reading, he takes his students for long walks and life lessons. Instead of having them read interpretations of literature, he begins his class by having them rip out the pages of the introduction. He modestly suggests that they call him "O Captain, my Captain," a title that Walt Whitman originally intended for a murdered Abraham Lincoln, martyred savior of the Republic. Keating is entitled to his students' adulation, in the film, because he imbues in them a sense of self-worth, totally unrelated to their accomplishments.
The movie presents literature as "collective narcissism," writes Marche. Reading and writing are easy.
Understanding the literary tradition was not a task. Nobody had to learn foreign languages or philology. Nobody had to work at it. What you really needed to be a writer was to be sensitive and to overcome the traditional strictures of mom and dad. You really just needed to be a rebel.
Dead Poets Society glorifies a terrible way to teach humanities writes Kevin J.H. Dettmar, an English professor, in The Atlantic. It's anti-intellectual gush.
The movie has been voted the greatest "school film" ever and often named as one of the most inspirational films of all time, according to The Guardian.
Two educations
Marcus Burke, author of Team Seven, went to college on a basketball scholarship, but chose writing. Burke talks about Why Every Writer Needs Two Educations in The Atlantic as part of the magazine's By Heart series.
College essays reward dishonesty
Abolish the personal essay on college applications, writes Samuel Goldman.
In theory, personal statements allow admissions officers to get to know applicants as individuals rather than the sum of grades and test scores. In practice, these brief texts are the basis of subjective and sometimes highly political judgments about the groups of students that an institution hopes to enroll.
Hard-luck stories — "overcoming adversity" — are favored, reports the New York Times. That gives undisadvantaged a strong incentive to embellish minor hardships or "even invent sob stories," Goldman writes.
Some parents hired paid tutors. Others help "savvy applicants revise and polish their statements so many times that the final versions are not very accurate reflections of their writing skills–or even their own ideas," writes Goldman.
Most applicants to elite colleges have similar academic and testing records, a Yale official told the New York Times. So "they might as well make admissions decisions by a lottery among objectively qualified students," writes Goldman.
If they really need to supplement high school credentials with a writing component, colleges might consider prompts that encourage classic features of the essay such as humor and ingenuity, rather than tear-jerking reminiscences. The University of Chicago is famous for offbeat prompts that encourage applicants to think rather than to recollect or emote.
Another option is to ask applicants to submit a research paper on a substantial topic, suggests Goldman.
One of my daughter's high school classmates wrote a touching essay about coming out as gay. He's now an Ivy League graduate. He's not gay. But, at least, he wrote it himself.
Babel vs. essay-grading bots
These days, more tests ask students to write short essays, not just answer multiple-choice questions. But it's slow and expensive to hire humans do the grading. Essay-grading 'bots are cheap and fast, but are they any good?
It's easy to fool a robot grader, Les Perelman, a former writing director at MIT, tells the Chronicle of Higher Education.
His Basic Automatic B.S. Essay Language Generator, or Babel, can crank out robot-fooling essays using one to three keywords. Each sentence is grammatically correct, structurally sound and meaningless. Robots can't tell the difference, says Perelman.
He fed in "privacy." Babel wrote:
"Privateness has not been and undoubtedly never will be lauded, precarious, and decent. Humankind will always subjugate privateness."
MY Access!, an online writing-instruction product, graded the essay immediately: 5.4 points out of 6, with "advanced" ratings for "focus and meaning" and "language use and style."
Robots and human graders awarded similar scores to 22,000 essays by high school and middle school students, concluded at study by Mark D. Shermis, a former dean of the College of Education at the University of Akron, in 2012.
Perelman accused Shermis of bad data analysis. The Akron professor stood by his study and published a follow-up paper this year.
Computer scientists at edX, the nonprofit online-course provider co-founded by MIT, are working on the Enhanced AI Scoring Engine, or EASE. The software can learn and imitate the grading styles of particular professors," reports the Chronicle.
Some of edX's university partners have used EASE to provide feedback to students in massive open online courses (MOOCs).

Daily Archives: December 30, 2010
Over on Siliconera is an article about a trademark for something called Final Fantasy Type-0 (zero).
The speculation over at Siliconera is the FF Type-0 might be the prelude to some big announcement, seeing as this one has both the trademark registration and a logo, whereas Square Enix usually just registers stuff.
Anyway, I have no idea what this could be, but I'm hoping it's not a mobile game or a prequel to the prequel of Final Fantasy VII or a sequel to XIII.
Feel free to leave your own ideas on what this could be in the comments. As for me, I'm hoping it's a Typing of the Dead inspired RPG made by the Eidos side of Square Enix… just to make it all interesting.
Anyone who has seen me online or on the games I play knows that I have an absurd tendency to be fickle in the games I play. If a game cannot sustain my interest, it becomes difficult for me to write about over a long period of time.
It is slowly dawning on me that Rift may potentially be one of those games.
Now, the game is very technically sound (which to me may mean that Perpetuum has a competitor for smoothest MMO launch ever), rifts are engaging set pieces of battle, the idea behind the lore of two opposing factions working against each other to fulfill a similar objective is endearing. The problem is that the game as a whole does not appear to be drawing me in.
Here are my concerns, in the short time I've played the game:
1. Too many options (can we even call it options?) in Souls
Simply put, every soul looks viable at the beginning, but in having a three-soul combo of powered up lower-tier talents… does that make you viable as a player in PVE or PVP against someone who's chosen two souls and specced accordingly?
2. Not enough Quest variety
I know that not every game can give you tasks to complete that will be altogether different from one another. The thing is, there's got to be an effort to make the quests varied in what you're supposed to do. I have yet to see that effort in Rift's questing system.
3. The Path
As it stands, there is a path you must follow to get to the capital cities of the factions, with the quests giving you most of the appropriate experience necessary to level up. The problem is that, coupled with the lack of quest variety, this path will be very boring if you want to make a new character.
4. An X Factor?
Every MMO out there has something that makes it stand out. Whether it's the crafting system or the public quests or the full loot PVP or the insane quest variety, just about every MMO has an X Factor to make it unique.
Rift, for me, feels generic, like a hodgepodge of different games combined to make something technically superior to other MMOs but without the soul (pardon the pun) to make it come alive.
What does this mean for Rift in my eyes? Well, it's simple: I'll still play it when it comes out, but I have to find something really gripping and powerful in the game to let me recommend it to other people.
Rift still has time to refine itself even further, and I'm looking forward to the changes. I just hope that X Factor thing comes out sooner rather than later.

The Paradox of Self Acceptance vs. Self Development? There is No Paradox!
Merry Christmas man!
As you can see from the vid, I'm up in Wisconsin, and literally had to stop half way through because my mouth stopped moving from the cold weather.
Which makes me pretty excited to start my world tour, getting the hell out of the snow and off to Thailand.
I'm heading there with Alex, former instructor Ryan, and about 12 of my closest bad ass friends.
Gonna be so sick.
Anyway, I've been hearing this buzz phrase for like two weeks here at RSD Headquarters…
Both Owen saying it, and having a guy ask me about it on one of the LSA calls.
So I figured I'd give MY take on the paradadox of Self Acceptance and Self Development, and why I don't even think there is a paradox!
Check the vid and see why YOU need to accept yourself more!
There really isn't a paradox if you dig deep enough and see HOW self acceptance is important for developing yourself further.
It isn't a matter of accepting complacency, it's creating the self love to feel deserving that you should get more out of life.
And a method to determine what aspects of your life you ignore and block out, the areas that NEED to change if you want to hit the next level of success.
Let me know what you think, this is a pretty fun concept!
And as always…

How does EFT work?Almost every time I teach someone about EFT, I get asked: How does EFT work? It's not surprising how often this question gets asked. EFT (emotional freedom technique) is rather different from most common types of energy healing. Simultaneously, there is action, but it seems rather slight. More than most energy healing systems, it works by systematically measuring and then dealing with the problem. A typical run-through of the basics of EFT (also known in some circles as "energy psychology") starts with assessing the pain on a scale of 1-10. Anyone who has been to the doctor while in pain understands this process. 0 is no pain, and 10 is the greatest pain imaginable. As such, the scale is subjective. However, once you see how does EFT work, you'll understand that this is excellent for the purpose at hand. Important note here: "Pain" in this case need not be physical. In fact, much of the philosophy behind EFT is that emotional problems cause our bodies to rebel against us and that in turn brings us physical, medical problems. Once you have determined the level of pain you then rub or tap a specific meridian point, while stating that even though you have this pain (and you get specific about it) you accept yourself totally. This is a key when one asks how does eft work. The wording varies, but it all comes out pretty much the same. Acceptance and release are the result, EFT is the path to get there. After that, you go ahead to tap about a dozen meridian points on the body, while repeating the key word describing the nature of the pain. For example: If you have a headache, you'll be tapping and saying the word "headache". Don't let the picture at right scare you; EFT only uses a few and they are easily remembered. With one round of tapping complete you then tap on another specific meridian while doing some minor mental and eye-movement tasks. This, to me, seems a "reset" of some kind. After that (and it only takes seconds, by the way) you go through another round of tapping. After the second round of tapping, you re-assess your pain level. If the pain isn't gone, you repeat the process exactly, except this time you add the word "remaining" any time before the word "headache". Eventually, the pain gets down to where it is gone, or is at least satisfactorily manageable for the person. Quite often, I'm so happy to take a level 8 headache down to a 1.5, that I don't even continue, as I'm just so grateful. Does it last?Ironically, I was going to save this for the page where I discuss the other question: "Does EFT work?". However, in this case, I think I'll handle it here. One of the interesting things about EFT is how amazingly effective it is. It's almost frightening. As mentioned above, I've had high-class headaches all but evaporate in less than ten minutes.
The folks at Mygenie actually have a pretty
comprehensive coaching setup for EFT. They have a series of videos
to teach the EFT method, as well as specific videos tailored to
different needs. Not only do they go into the theory of how does EFT
work, they have specific instruction for different needs.
But where EFT really shines is that when used regularly, EFT becomes even more effective. If you are keeping yourself in good emotional health, and not letting stress wreck your body's balance, you can imagine that you'll wind up in less physical pain and your immune system will work better as well. So, not only does the effect of EFT last, but in my experience and observation, it gets better, if practiced. New! CommentsHave your say about what you just read!
