Bob(Louis Koo)'s life isn't going well at all. A single father in a dead-end job as a debt collector, he's trapped in a job that goes against his usual easy-going helpful nature and he's under tremendous pressure to be a better dad, a better brother, a better worker, even a better person. While dealing with all this and his sister(Flora Chan)'s threat to move to China with his son to force him to clean up his act, Bob receives a call out of the blue. It's a stranger called Grace(Barbie Hsu) who claims a mysterious kidnapper(Liu Ye) is keeping her against her will and begs him to save her and her young daughter. Is it just a heartless prank? The detective(Nick Cheung) he tried reporting the call to seems to think so but Bob's instincts tell him that he may just be the only thing standing between them and a painful death. But does he have the mettle to rise above his own self-centred concerns and risk everything – including his own son – for two people he has never met and who may not even exist?

John Fetting, a 30-year veteran of the Johns Hopkins faculty, readily discusses the dramatic changes in the treatment of breast cancer that have evolved during his tenure, such as how clinicians now choose a treatment protocol based on the biological characteristics of the cancer as opposed to a patient's menopausal status. But he's more interested in addressing what hasn't yet happened in breast cancer prevention.
"We are not any closer to "actionable" prevention than when I started my career," Dr. Fetting says.
He explains that while some risk factors have been identified, such as having a first pregnancy at or after age 30, they don't represent someone at high risk. "Most women with these risk factors are not going to get breast cancer. Other than women who carry an inherited mutation, which increases risk, we just don't have a good idea of who is at sufficient risk for breast cancer to drive action," Dr. Fetting says.
It's a reality he is not willing to accept.
"Now that we can sequence the breast cancer genome, we are identifying mutations which can be the targets for treatment. Why can't we identify genetic changes in normal breast cells which indicate that these cells will develop breast cancer? If we could, we might be able to identify women at sufficient risk to merit intervention. We might also be able to reassure a lot of women who don't possess these changes in their breasts that they are not at risk," Dr. Fetting says.
That's why, as he enters the final years of his career, Dr. Fetting is embarking on a fundraising crusade to support of breast cancer prevention research at Hopkins. The John Fetting Fund for Breast Cancer Prevention Research was initiated by one of his patient's, Leslie Ries, and her husband, Tom. The five-year goal of the recently-initiated fund is $5 million dollars.
Encouraged by the field's vastly increased understanding of the biology of breast cancer, Dr. Fetting expects these advancements to be successfully applied to prevention if the research is adequately supported. "There is strong support for research on cancer treatment. Support for prevention research is much harder to come by. Philanthropy can enable us to take advantage of the tremendous prevention opportunities presented to us by our rapidly increasing understanding of the breast cancer genome and epigenome," he says.

Yeah I was just basing that off of the rumors that Kane wants out of Winnipeg. I should have made that clear in the original post.
Maybe Zajac + Greene + Urbom + 3rd for Kane + Burmistrov, Jim Slater or Tanner Glass (3rd line center replacements when Josefson moves to 2nd).
Tanner Glass is in Pittsburgh.

Pierce scores 23 as C's beat back Rockets
Saturday, January 12, 2013
BOSTON (AP) — Paul Pierce scored 16 of his 23 points in the second half and Kevin Garnett added 17 points and four blocks as the Boston Celtics nearly blew a 17-point lead before pulling away late in a 103-91 victory over the Houston Rockets on Friday night.
Harden, Parsons and Jeremy Lin, who scored 12, were the only Houston players to finish in double figures.
The Rockets scored seven straight to pull within 10, but Boston was off and running again on a 10-2 run. Rondo started it with an offensive rebound and putback, then Avery Bradley hit a 3-pointer for his first bucket of the night after missing his first five shots.

Beef Stroganoff
I guess that it's time for a quick break from all of the squash and pumpkin...
I recently realized that I had not had beef stroganoff in a very long time and I wanted to try making it. According to the wikipedia beef stroganoff is a Russian dish consisting of beef in a sour cream sauce. My mother made this a few times while I was growing up and I remembered really enjoying it. I searched the net for some recipes though I already had an outline in mind. I knew that there would be some onions and mushrooms in addition to the beef. One idea that I did come across was to add paprika and although I had never had it that way, it sounded like a great idea. The paprika and mushroom combination reminded me of a mushroom soup that I had made a while ago and really enjoyed. That soup combined mushrooms, sour cream, paprika and dill and I had really like the flavour combo so I decided to add some dill to the stroganoff as well. I added some dried dill while the sauce was simmering and some fresh dill just at the end for the best of both worlds.
I figured that there were two main ways that I could cook the beef. I could either get a really tender cut of beef and quickly saute it or I could get a much cheaper cut of beef and braise it until is was nice and tender. Since I had the time and I really enjoy braising I decided to go with that route, though there is a quicker option if you are short on time. While I was rummaging through my fridge I came across some bacon and I decided to throw it in as well to kick up the flavour a bit. I also sauteed the beef in the bacon grease so as to not waste any of that flavour. I then let the beef simmer in the sauce until it was fall apart tender.
The beef stroganoff was amazing! It was so full of flavour that only got better the next day. The beef was nice and tender and it seemed to just melt in your mouth. The sauce was nice and creamy and tasty and I really enjoyed the mushroom, paprika, dill and sour cream flavour combination. I served the beef stroganoff on egg noodles though you could use any type of pasta or rice, etc. I am looking forward to making this again!
4 slices bacon (cut into 1/2 inch pieces, completely optional)
1 pound of beef (cut into thin slices)
1 tablespoon butter
1 onion (sliced)
1 (8 ounce) package cremini mushrooms (sliced)
2 cups beef stock (or red wine or a combination of both)
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried dill
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup beef stock
1/2 cup sour cream (low fat if you desire)
2 tablespoons dill (chopped)
1. Cook the bacon in the pan over medium heat and set aside.
2. Saute the beef in the bacon grease until it is no longer pink, about 5 minutes and set aside.
3. Melt the butter in the pan.
4. Add the onions and saute until tender, about 5 minutes.
5. Add the mushrooms and saute until tender, about 5 minutes.
6. Add the bacon, beef, stock, tomato paste, paprika, dill, salt and pepper and bring to a boil.
7. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer until the meat is tender, about 60-90 minutes.
8. Mix the flour into the stock and stir it into the beef.
9. Bring to a boil and cook while stirring until it has thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
10. Remove from heat and stir in the sour cream and dill.
11. Serve over noodles or rice.

10. Short encounter - by Vilwarin
I tried to tell myself that it was only physical attraction born out of loneliness on the road, nothing more.
But deep in my heart I know that this is not all, I am searching for a word to describe it but I fear the answer.
No matter what I do, from the moment I reentered this world, my thoughts keep returning to you. I remember our first kiss, our first intimate touches. We were frantic, desperate to feel each other's warmth in that cold night.
And it was over as quickly as it had begun.
But we have had other nights since then. I have taken you in the bed of my forefathers, and you have had me.
Now I come back after my many travels and find everything changed – you are happily married with a little, adorable baby-girl. And for some reason I cannot fathom I feel devastated. No, I do not begrudge you your joy – for who am I to do that? I understand, do not I carry also a promise on my left forefinger?
But I cannot compare it, for I might never have what you call your own now. And suddenly I feel utterly alone.
I sit on the very same bed and images of your presence invade my mind.
I close my eyes against the shame they provoke and feel so bereft of honour. So deep in my thoughts am I that I do not realize that the knocking on my door is more than imagination.
"Aragorn," it is your voice, "I know that you are within. Will you not let me enter?"
For a moment I debate this, I know not if I can face you right now. I left my welcome feast early, for every time I looked at you and your wife I saw what I left behind. It hits me so unexpectedly that I gasp, I know not what I mourn. The elven maiden I left in Lorien or the distance the two of us must now hold. Traitor a soft voice whispers, but I choose to ignore it.
"Come now," your voice reaches my ears again and this time I stand and open the door, for a coward I am not.
I have barely opened it and already you are in the room. When I look into your face I see worry there.
"You looked distraught and I thought you might want to talk." You lay a hand on my shoulder and I shiver.
"No, I thank you for your offer, but I am well." I step a few paces back, out of your reach.
"You could never deceive me, old friend. Were we not always close?" You follow me and reach out to touch me again, but I push your hand away.
"Yes, we were, but we were not the men we are now. We both have changed."
You look at me open-mouthed.
"Do you want to tell me that you want our friendship to end?"
"It would be..."
I cannot end for you seize my shoulders and shake me violently. I am surprised and push you back forcefully. You stumble backwards, crash into a chair and fall to the floor.
"Halbarad!" I cry and rush to your side, fearing you had injured yourself.
You sit up then and start to laugh, shaking your head. I do not know where your mirth comes from, but I join in nonetheless, for your laugh is contagious.
"Shall I tell you something?" You manage to gasp and I nod. "We may have changed, you and I, but not as much as you think."
With that you kick my legs from under my crouched position and I fall to the floor, landing on top of you. We stay so for a heartbeat, then I try to move away, but you capture me in your arms.
"No Halbarad, please do not. You will only make matters worse, Eirien..."
"...is not here, but you are. I want..."
"No, say it not, you will only condemn yourself and undo me."
"Then let it be so, I do not care."
You clutch me to you all the harder. Our lips meet in a fiery kiss then, a feeling that I thought I would never know again.
We must be quiet for we are not the only ones near bye. And so we seal our mouths with kisses. I am dimly aware of the sounds of celebration coming from downstairs. We have brought it home and it may well be a grave mistake, but it is too late to turn around. I have just enough wits left to close the door and bolt it before you press me against it with full force.
The bed is large enough, made for two people, made for the lord and his lady, but I know that my lady shall never lie here.
Two lords then it shall be. I draw you with me and still fully clothed we fall upon the bed. We know that it is awkward to try to undress ourselves in this position, so we settle for parting. Swiftly we get rid of our clothes and are in each others arms again.
I know your body still, but it has changed. I can see scars that have not been there last time. No, time is running and every passing second brings us closer to our doom, and so I grab at something solid. And at this moment, the only solid thing I have is you.
Despite my best efforts at being quiet, a soft moan escapes me as your hand roams over my body. I know that it was not loud enough to be heard, by I tense nonetheless, my body alert.
"This will not do", you say then, "relax your body. Lean back."
You lay a hand on my chest and push. I let my body fall back on the mattress obediently. Your actions are sure and I remember the trust I had in you and will have again. I relish the feeling of being able to completely drop my guard, a thing that is all too seldom granted to me.
When our erections meet, we are prepared and muffle the sounds with our lips.
Time is running, the night is not ours, for soon you will have to be abed next to your wife, and I will be alone.
Our coupling is nonetheless slow, both of us want to savour the presence of the other.
But then it is over and we lie there in a tangle of limbs for a while longer. My desire is to fall asleep and wake with you in the morning, but I know that that is impossible, at least here.
All too soon you move into a sitting position and ask,
"Is there something I can clean myself with?"
You gesture at your midsection. Ah yes, I have left my marks on you, have I not? None from nails or teeth, I have not the right to do that, but other marks he now wants to get rid of.
I gesture towards the washstand where I know jug, basin, and rug to be. I watch your every movement as you stand and clean yourself, but have no desire to move more than my eyes.
I continue to watch as you clothe yourself. I only move as you lean down to give me a last kiss.
"I see you in the morning, then?"
"Aye, on the morrow. Give Eirien my greetings."
You smile faintly and nod, then leave the room.
I am alone again. I curl into a ball and close my eyes, waiting for sleep to claim me. Dimly, the thought of what to do with the linens crosses my mind. This matter will be tackled in the morning. Right now, I could not have cared less.

"I am going to drag your sorry Sindarin ass to the sparring fields and beat you bloody!"
Slowly Celeborn shifts his gaze towards me — eyes vacant — and stares absently through the branches where I sit.
Finally, some response! The first since his link with the Lady severed.
Sighing, I return the golden-ripe pear to my belt pouch, again failing to tempt him with the lush fragrance. "Maybe tomorrow, my stubborn friend."
I jump down to assume my new post on a lower limb of his retreat, encouraging the mallorn to hum in reassurance to Celeborn that he is not alone.

So any updated news on this.
I know it is expected in Q4 so more than likely nearer Xmas than now but it must getting polished for release.
Some actual game footage would be <3, ie a vid of a dev vs dev maybe even shoutcasted by some other dev explaining whats going on
There should apparently be more news during the week:
Check out new screenshots: http://oilrush-game.com/screenshots/
It looks really great. Now we can see more enviorments than ice, and that smoke from the flames on the surface of the waters is really good.
Will the Unigine engine work on Xbox 360 and Mac soon too? I think for commercial games Xbox 360 support is really important.
Heh... I'm sure Jobs is thrilled to hear that. ;)Quote:
Mac isn't a priority platform for us now.
It should be more of a matter of getting it to properly build in their build tools- it's similar to Linux as far as many of the middleware APIs that you'd use.

here is Lennarts blog post explaining the situation and possibilities
and while i cant say anything about the technical part of the whole thing i have arguments against his user cases.
To be competitive, the system need to be low-power, low latency, good sound quality (floating point sound mixing must be used but this is expensive)
To meet this target, "CPU-efficient" is necessary.
To be "CPU-efficient", SIMD instruction must be used
context switch should be avoided as much as possible => sound mixing in kernel mode
PA simply do not meet this requirement.
if Android go for resource-hungary application such as HD movie, 3D games in the future.
Google will need to send hundreds of best programmer to optimize PA (but i doubt if this will succeed)
Why don't they use right tool at the beginning? OSS4 or add floating point kernel sound mixing to ALSA. It save their time
Last edited by unknown2; 01-17-2012 at 07:16 PM.
The problem is that they don't use it enough. That is on the list, however.
1. CPU load and power consumption when pulseaudio is serving "low-latency" client(s).
2. worst latency encountered and their distribution when serving "low-latency" client(s).
3. condition 2 + CPU under 100% loading.
Anyway, the cpu of his tested phone "galaxy nexus" is not slow. Does he need to test on some weak phone instead?
Last edited by unknown2; 01-17-2012 at 11:07 PM.
However, PA can make use of some RT features (some kinds of kernel thread preemption, but that is no worse than ios or windows), thus 3 shouldn't be to different from 2 (for the most part).
Regardless of the CPU load when used in low latency mode, at least it is more able to satisfy those needs than AF ever can, apparently.
I really want to hear from Google's engineers about this.
Alsa itself will introduce an extra buffer of its dmixer. This will also force to resample to 48K (due to AC97). If you want to improve latency you need to use raw device like hw. Latency can also be fine tuned by default-fragments and default-fragment-size-msec in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf. I have achieved excellent latency with pulseaudio streaming audio over wifi network, i.e. no video/audio out of sync when watching videos.

7. Pointsettias - by Agape4Gondor
It seemed all was quiet. Strider held his breath. "Hollin once was filled with Elves…" he whispered.
"I would just like to have my stomach filled," Pippin sniped. "With warm food and a pint of Butterbur's ale."
"Aye, laddie, my stomach longs for roast meat and good ale," the Dwarf concurred.
Legolas remembered the last time he visited Hollin. Elves were everywhere, dancing, singing, and laughing. Then, covered with poinsettias as useless camouflage, Rangers swept through the crowd. Did they honestly think walking poinsettias would fool the Elves!
Legolas scowled. "Filled with Elves until those twenty-two red Rangers came along!"

The swimming pool and sauna were of a good standard.
Appointment times were not adhered to, appointment times were moved without any information being provided to the customer. This resulted in a total of a one hour delay for me and my partner and caused issues with the childcare that we had arranged. Towels were not provided at reception and had to be requested later. Refreshments were constantly running out and not being replenished, I had to request water twice. After a hot sauna having to wait to find a member of staff to request water is far from ideal. The spa was very busy and required a higher standard of servicing, which was not implemented resulting in poorly turned out facilities.

I hate scotch.
Does the current RittBiB have DSP-KY-31 listed as the bottling site?
¡Geaux Tigers! - ¡Visca el Barça!
"Really though, my hands are sore. The tool was doing it's thing with a flex hose." -Barrel_Proof
Yes. Distilled at DSP-KY-354, bottled at DSP-KY-31.
I hate scotch.
My current bottle says on the back label, "Distilled by D.S.P. KY 354 and bottled by Continental Distilling Co., Bardstown, KY."
No mention of DSP KY 31. Is that the same as Cont. Dist. Co.?
DSP 354 is Brown-Forman/Early Times who has been making the whisky under contract for Heaven Hill following the fire that destroyed the still house at DSP 31.
Thanks, fellers.
I have a bottle with a white back label as opposed to the black all else seems the same any difference with what's in the bottle? Thanks Steve

For those who have been reading the Riyria Revelations...the final book in the series Percepliquis WILL be released separately from the Heir of Novron book and the will both be coming out in January 2012.
A new standalone book by Michael J. Sullivan entitled Antithesis which is not in the Riyria Revelations World will be released as soon as contracturally allowed which will probalby mean July 2012.
September 22nd, 2011, 03:40 PM #22
That is great news rsullivan. I love the Riyria series. It reminds me of the Scott Lynch Locke Lamora series.
Can you give us any info on the plot of Antithesis?

I'm reading the Jesse James Dawson books (there's only two so far), by KA Stewart.
It's refreshing to see a hero who is an unashamedly noble man. Jesse follows bushido, has a wife and a daughter, no dark tragic history, no half demon heritage, no nuthin awful. He's not a Gary Stu by any means, just a good imperfect man who is trying to do the right thing.
Sometimes I feel as though the author is trying a little too hard to be funny, and perhaps because of the hero's nobility there isn't as much emotional or moral complexity as there might be in some UF, but these two books are still entertaining. It will be interesting to see where Stewart goes from here.

So deep a malice-John Gwynne- published in March by Tor UK.
With echoes of Celtic myth, wonderfully realised characters, dark magic, and a deeply engaging storyline, John Gwynne's debut announces the arrival of a major new talent.
With one foot in Celtic myth and the other loosely straddling the imagined beginning of the Roman empire, this fresh and original fantasy takes two worlds, old and new, and demonstrates the clash that will occur when the modern tries to overthrow established traditions.
Set on a continent called the Banished Lands, populated by men and giants, dark forests, dreadwolves and draigs; this debut fantasy follows the story of Corban, a young man who just wants to become a warrior, but whose path will lead him to so much more. Populated with original and engaging characters, set in a primal, feral world, soon to become the battleground of angels and demons, this is a tale of love and betrayal, truth and courage, friendship and loyalty.
An epic and intimate coming-of-age tale filled with mystery, Machiavellian politics, adventure, joy and tragedy, So Deep a Malice will have instant appeal to readers of George R.R. Martin and Robert Jordan.
An exciting new voice in fantasy, with a new world, a new mythology, and a new hero...
In the Empire of the Saviours, the People are forced to live in fortified towns. Their walls are guarded by an army of Heroes, whose task is to keep marauding pagans out as much as it is to keep the People inside. Several times a year, living Saints visit the towns to exact the Saviours' tithe from all those coming of age - a tithe often paid in blood.
When a young boy, Jillan, unleashes pagan magicks in an accident, his whole town turns against him. He goes on the run, but what hope can there be when the Saviours and the entire Empire decide he must be caught?
Jillan is initially hunted by just the soldiers of the Saint of his region, but others soon begin to hear of his increasing power and seek to use him for their own ends. Some want Jillan to join the fight against the Empire, others wish to steal his power for themselves and others still want Jillan to lead them to the Geas, the source of all life and power in the world.
There are very few Jillan can trust, except for a ragtag group of outcasts. His parents threatened, his life in tatters, his beliefs shaken to the core, Jillan must decide what side he is on, and whether to fight or run...
First in an epic fantasy trilogy by a stunning debut fantasy novelist.
The Traitor's Son is the story of a mercenary knight and his men in a world full of trials, battles and danger. Accepting a commission to protect a small community against the savage creatures besieging them, the knight is quick to realise he and his men need help.
The King is the only one who can provide it. But why should the King answer the call, when he has his own battles to fight? And why is the wayward knight so reluctant to request his aid in the first place?
Dark, violent, and brilliantly observed and written, this will be an ideal series for fans of Joe Abercrombie, George R.R. Martin and A-list epic fantasy fiction.

Very major Coldest War news for Ian Tregillis fans:
Found this on Tregillis's blog yesterday; can't believe it isn't all over the internet, as it's a couple weeks old now. Maybe it's out of date and the situation has since changed?
According to a blog entry from a couple weeks back, The Coldest War is still looking good for a summer 2012 release in hardcover; the substantive edits and copyedit are done, and from what I recall the final galley pass is happening now.
The audio edition, however, will be released a full six months early via audible.com, on December 20, 2011. Tor has signed off on this as a way of alleviating the massive and easily avoidable gap between releases. The final novel, Necessary Evil, is in an advanced state, and is tentatively scheduled for April 2013, so it sounds like all happiness for this series at the moment. Rejoyce!

Why no mention about the bread!?!?
Warning: Wearing this may decrease ability to have soul.
What about the cookie? Oh snap!
So many people yet not a soul amongst them
You could say this shirt would give me more respect for redheads...but I won't admit to that.
we've been Rick-rolled.
Uh, you left out the most important.
Trey Anastasio - The Jedi
Lucy can kick all their butts.
I get it, they all have red hair!
I thought I was clever for figuring that out, then I looked at the name of the shirt. Reading fail...
Is it cool for us non-gingers to even wear this shirt? I mean, some of my best friends are ginger.
I didn't know GW was a ginger... Good ole American public education!
Where's Kyle?
Awww man, I wish were a ginger so that wearing this would be more appropriate. It just doesn't seem like it'd make sense for me to wear it with my black hair and everything.
Okay, from the pic, I got
1) Harry Potter
2) Chuck Norris
3) Chucky
4) Conan
5) Ronald McDonald
6) George Washington
7) Tony Hawk?
8) I Love Lucy?
Funny shirt!
Apparently gingers have amazing eyesight to be able to read these captions.
No Shirley Temple?!?!
The grey mundanity of pop culture saved by a carrot colored bow.
The Librarian is mislabeled. At least they didn't call him Monkey.
They've got gingervitis.
Definitely not what came to mind... guess I've watched too many British comedies.
No Kyle from Southpark?
Or maybe not. Ben's listed as the artist on this one. But, did TL ever sell it?
(Sorry about the buzzkill.)
The one that stole my soul was the second one to the right, middle row. He was horrible woot!
where's Rick Astley? Well were never gonna give you up even if the artist let you down!
DID Thomas Jefferson have red hair? I always thought it was brown.

Where's Amy Pond?
"Eleven of the most beloved redheads in history, and Carrot Top".....HAHA
if you look at this artists website, it looks like he created this a while ago and its been posted around. i dont think he stole this.
The only problem I see is that the site you linked didn't credit the artist.
Meanwhile, where's Pippi???
Great style, tho!

You might have heard the term STEM mentioned lately.
The acronym that has educators, businesses and politicians abuzz, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) is considered the cornerstone to our nation's prosperity. It is an interdisciplinary approach to learning by combining multiple academic subjects and focusing on real-world lessons. It is about students applying science, technology, engineering and mathematics in contexts that make connections between school, community, work and the world around them while moving students forward – creating stronger problem solvers and more creative innovators to lead the global economy.
According to the National Academy of Sciences, innovation, largely derived from advances in science and engineering, is a primary driver of the future economy and creation of jobs. However, the percentage of science and engineering degrees awarded annually peaked in the 1960's. In Central Florida, we actually lag behind. Only 20% of the degrees awarded in Central Florida are in the STEM fields, compared to 30% nationally.
Students are finishing high school without being fully prepared for college. According to The Condition of College & Career Readiness 2013 report, only 19% of Florida's class of 2013 scored "college-ready" on all four ACT exams. When compared to performance nationally, Florida ranked 41st in math and 48th in science on the 2013 ACT. In an increasingly competitive world, where innovation is the key to a flourishing economy, the need for us to educate ourselves and our children in STEM fields is more pressing than ever.
Orlando Science Center is taking a stand in the efforts to revitalize STEM education in our community. Whether you encounter us here in the facility with your family, with your Scout organization, on a field trip, or even through one of our off-site school programs, our goal is the same – to show people that exploring these critical areas in an informal way can be fun, exciting and even inspiring.
Our hope is that you'll take the things you discovered as a result of your time with us and use them as a springboard to explore at home and in school too. Our ultimate goal is to create a STEM-centered community that paves the way towards excellence in science, technology, engineering and math.
If future generations don't receive an adequate STEM education, they won't have the opportunity for the highest paying jobs, compete in a global market or fill the STEM pipeline that leads to economic growth. We hope you'll join us on this journey!

OK so has anyone ever tried to talk to another person at a concert... it's quite impossible unless u get very close.and they are so not kissing, just trying to hear what the other person is saying. And you always see them out not only with each other but with the rest of the cast tagging right along. so you can't say just because they're out together that they're dating. They have been around each other for pretty much a year or so now w making twilight, promoting it then making new moon n now making eclipse then promoting them both, they're gonna end up being really close. the entire cast is. Are they dating? who knows. Are we gonna know now? no, we probably not gonna know if they r until all the movies are done and out on DVD, so we can see if they keep hanging out after it all. Would they be absolutely cute together, yes lol.

ugh has anyone ever been to a concert before? people do lean into each other to hear each other talk. I believe Rob can do so much better, I don't know what he see's in her. She is pretty but her personality is just bland. She is 19, I think she would look much better with Taylor :-D

Does Mormon means you guys are prude about many things in life?! God, how dare you called Kristen "trashy", you know the saying, it takes one to know one when you made such comment. Anyway, you mormon or whatever you called yourself are not the only fans of these books. We normal people who have negative and positive sides in our life, who do not judge people just because gossip magazines said this and that about these young starlets. Honestly, they are young, they are just doing what most kids these days are doing and I am not saying smoking is good, as I do not smoke myself as I hate the smell and know it's not good for your skin and healthy. As for the drug comment, it's really getting so freaking OLD ppl, stop saying that, it's rude, since you are not sure they are doing drugs or not. I really doubt it. IF you truly have read the books, you know in these books there are many sexual tensions and related stuff. Come on!!!!!! It's life. I am sure you mormons have sex too.

The stars of the NBA came out in full force in Orlando for the 2012 All-Star game. The human pogo stick Jeremy Evans of the Jazz wowed the crowd in the Slam Dunk Contest while the double-double machine Kevin Love outdueled Kevin Durant in the Three-Point Contest. And the big game on Sunday certainly did not disappoint. D-Wade breaking Kobe's nose and LeBron passing up on the final shot got the headlines, but it was Kevin Durant who stole the show and won the MVP with 36 points as he led the rest of the West All-Stars over the East 152-149.

Finding Apartments for Rent in Houston, TX
According to the latest U.S. Census, Houston, Texas has a population of over two million people spread out over an area of almost 600 square miles. That just includes the city, and it does not include expansive suburbs like the Woodlands, Katy, and Sugarland. Suburbs bring the total population of the metropolitan area to well over six million.
Location really does matter in this city, and you may want to select an area of town near your job or good schools for your children. However, no matter where you live, you can access the rest of the metropolitan area via the network of freeways and mostly well-maintained streets. Houston Metro also provides bus and limited light rail services, but Houston has a reputation as a driver's city.
Top Neighborhoods in Houston, TX
The city encompasses popular residential neighborhoods like the Heights, Midtown, and West Houston. Each of these cities within the city offer their own unique amenities and atmospheres.
- Midtown, located downtown and inside the 610 Loop, gives residents a chance to live in an urban setting and close to the hub of cultural and business opportunities. New arrivals can choose between renovated lofts in historical buildings and contemporary new construction with luxury amenities.
- The Heights provides a pleasant and upscale lifestyle just outside of downtown. Some residents prefer cute and cozy older buildings and bungalows, but some older homes have been torn down to make way for new construction.
- West Houston is still inside the city, but further from downtown, and it has more of a suburban and residential feel. The area is still an easy commute to downtown, and it may be more affordable for families or young people starting their first job. Lots of employers have located their businesses and corporate headquarters in this part of the city too.
Cultural Activities in Houston, TX
This multicultural city offers entertainment and educational opportunities for just about everybody. The largest and most famous museums inside the museum district include the Museum of Fine Arts and the Houston Museum of Natural Science, but you have plenty of options to select from. If you have kids, you might be pleased to know that the the Houston Zoo lies within walking distance of the science museum. They both lie inside of Hermann Park, and one of the highlights of this park is the small train that circles around it.
Besides museums, city residents can enjoy theater, ballet, major league sports, concerts and variety of festivals. You can also find plenty of movie theaters that range from large complexes with multiple theaters to small artistic movie houses.
Dining in Houston, TX
One other advantage of living in a multicultural city like Houston is the opportunity to enjoy a variety of restaurants with cuisine from all corners of the world. Of course, Texans enjoy Tex-Mex and BBQ, but this city is also renowned for a variety of ethnic cuisines from around the world.
Still called China Town, one Houston neighborhood on the west side has a variety of Asian restaurants and an Asian shopping district. However the city's ethnic selection is not limited to any particular neighborhood or side of town. You can find a variety of popular restaurants from steak houses to vegetarian Indian buffets all over the city, and that even includes the suburbs.
Transportation Options in Houston, TX
Houston's freeway system includes 575 miles of freeways and tollways that extend through 10 counties in the metropolitan area. That does not include many miles of parkways, avenues and residential streets. Even though Houstonians are encouraged to carpool or take alternate transportation, they do love to drive. Unlike some other large cities, most people find it inconvenient to navigate the city without a car.
Houston Metro, mentioned above, does provide cars, vans, and some light rail service. Park and Ride stations have been set up in suburban areas to carry commuters downtown, but light rail mostly serves the area around downtown and in the Houston Medical Center.
You can call a taxi, but you should not expect to find them on every street corner. You might find cabs lined up at large hotels or at the airport. Because the city encompasses such a large area, taxi fairs tend to get expensive, and most visitors prefer to simply rent a car.View Apartments in Houston, Texas

shut up and take my money
Phoronix: Jolla Presents Sailfish OS MeeGo-Fork
Jolla, the Finnish company that was formed by many ex-Nokia employees that were responsible for their MeeGo work and the Nokia N9 smart-phone until Nokia jumped in bed with Microsoft for the Windows Phone, finally showcased its Linux OS today: Sailfish, a fork of MeeGo Linux...
shut up and take my money
Man there's still hope for an N900 successor......
I hate Android, I use because of the apps and the faster browser.
Also you forgot that you need root rights to backup your own data. How stupid does a developer has to be to pull something like that off? I didn't knew that the IQ scala can go into negativity...
Wow. Closed source crap served by a company proud of its increasing patent portefolio.
That was a very new way of doing things. Oh wait it is not. It is right next to iphone on the shit-o-meter.
If you knew anything, you would know that Jolla, while not 100% open, is more open then android. Making it the only Linux mobile platform with any chance. WebOS is dead and plasma active won't get any serious adoption. It is the only mobile linux with GNU user land and to share desktop Linux stack. Benefiting distros and allowing desktop Linux software to easily be ported. This is also has makings for success. On their twitter they already have contracts with carriers. They have third party hardware companies committing.
To call these people Apple turdists, and support Gnome 3 developers who are focused on nothing but "building our brand" and have devs who thinks theming should be disabled to build their "brand". It's hypocrisy.

Munich's city centre is a pedestrian zone, so many of its attractions can be reached on foot, which is also the most pleasant way to explore certain parts of the city. The city's efficient and integrated public transport system is excellent for getting around beyond the centre; it consists of buses, trams, the U-bahn (subway) and the S-bahn (suburban train) that operate from about 5am to 1am, with hourly buses and trams servicing main routes throughout the night. Tickets must be validated on entering stations or on boarding, and are transferable between all forms of transport, and valid for two hours after being stamped as long as one travels in the same direction. Fares are zone based and the system is well-organised and easy to understand. There are various day passes available as well as the München Welcome Card, which covers all transport within the city and includes discounts to the main attractions. Taxis are safe and convenient, but expensive. You can hire a car easily but it is often better to use public transport in the big European cities to avoid frustration and confusion. You can also hire bicycles at very little cost and this is a lovely way to get around.
GMT +1 (GMT +2 between the last Sunday in March and the Saturday before the last Sunday in April).
220 volts, 50Hz. European-style two-pin plugs are standard.
The unit of currency is the Euro (EUR), divided into 100 cents. ATMs and exchange bureaux are widely available. The major credit cards are accepted in large shops, hotels and restaurants, although Germans themselves prefer to carry cash. The quickest and most convenient way to change money is to obtain cash from one of the ATM machines that are ubiquitous features on all German streets. Banks are closed on weekends, but exchange bureaux at airports and main railway stations are open daily.
The international access code for Germany is +49. Telephone numbers in Germany can range from four to nine digits. There are surcharges on international calls made from hotels; it is often cheaper to use public telephone boxes in post offices, which use phone cards. The local mobile phone operators use GSM networks and have roaming agreements with most international operators. Internet cafes are available in the main towns.

Munich's weather can be unpredictable. In general summers are fairly warm and very wet, characterised by sunny weather interspersed by dramatic thunderstorms, while winters are cold with light snowfalls. The Alps cause two unique aberrations in Munich weather: southwesterly winds crossing the Alps can push up temperatures markedly even in winter; and northwesterly winds blowing from the mountains bring unseasonably low temperatures, rain and even snow on odd days. You can easily end up experiencing quite a variety of weather on a stay in Munich. The most popular time to visit is in September, for Oktoberfest, but summer is the peak tourism season. Munich is really a year-round holiday destination because so many of the city's attractions can be enjoyed regardless of the weather.
Frequent commuter trains run by day and most of the night to various Munich stations, including the main stations for connections to major European cities. Buses are available to many regional destinations and the main train station. It takes about 20 minutes by train and about 45 minutes by road to reach the city centre.
Car hire companies represented include Avis, Europcar, Hertz, National and Sixt.
