Nokia Made Android-Powered Smartphone On Its Way
Bangalore: Nokia might have involved in making a device which is the company's first Android-powered Smartphone 'Vertu Ti'. The device is likely to be one among many Android handsets made by Nokia's ex company – the luxurious handset maker Vertu. The handset pictures have leaked according to a report from Gizbot.
Reports also state that the handset is likely to be announced at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2013 which is slated to happen this month at Barcelona. The facts on Vertu Ti has been kept secret till date but as the biggest telephony fair is coming closer, there are chances for tech enthusiasts to get more updates in days to come.
A report on a Japanese blog named Blog of Mobile has given certain expected features of the handset. The device is expected to come with a dual core Qualcomm MSM8260 Snapdragon processor of 1.5GHz running Android 4.0. Connectivity features include Wi-Fi, NFC, Bluetooth 4.0 and a dud 1,250mAh powered battery.
Unwired view reports that Vertu Ti has a model number RM-828V, which clearly resembles the model numbers of Nokia's latest Lumia WP8 handsets-Lumia 920 (RM- 820 and RM-822) and Lumia 820 (RM – 824 and RM 826). The device also possesses a camera, but its resolution is not known as the exact details are yet to be provided by reliable sources.
Until now Vertu only relied on aged operating systems. After breaking-up with the Finnish giant, the new owners would be likely to give Vertu – a brand substance combining with the goodness of Android.
Besides Vertu Ti, there would be a possibility to see more luxurious phones coming up very soon at the Mobile world Congress of 2013.

Why not simply use the "int x = x;" trick (which is what uninitialized_var() does) -- it shuts up the warning, and does *nothing* else. The bug will not be hidden, if there's bad misbehaviour happening due to the bug, it will continue to happen that way -- thus bringing our attention to it. Pre-initializing to -EINVAL (or whatever) has the problem that when the bug actually triggers, something unrelated might happen higher up the callchain, and we'd be scratching our heads in a "why are we getting a -EINVAL here?" kind of way ... worse still, we might think that this was _really_ an EINVAL and go about debugging it ... Plus, pre-initializing to -EINVAL (or even 0) will waste some bytes in kernel text size, but no such overhead with uninitialized_var() :-) Satyam |

Report: IOC reprimanded wrestling for breaking rules in 2020, 2024 bidding
Sep 6, 2013, 8:56 AM EDT
The International Olympic Committee sent an official warning to wrestling's international governing body on Aug. 30, a little more than one week before the vote to decide if the sport remains in the Olympics, according to Around The Rings.
A letter sent to the two sports competing against wrestling, baseball-softball and squash, was seen by Around The Rings, which reported wrestling broke "the rules of conduct in the sports bidding race" for inclusion in the 2020 and 2024 Olympics. The vote for inclusion will take place Sunday in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Wrestling has been a part of every modern Olympics except 1900 and was recommended to be dropped from the Olympic program starting in 2020 in February. It fought back to become a finalist to keep its spot, while baseball-softball and squash seek to take the opening.
Wrestling has been reported to be a heavy favorite to win Sunday's vote.
The letter obtained by Around The Rings was dated Sept. 3, four days after the reprimand.
ATR understands that the warning relates to a letter the Japan Wrestling Federation sent to some IOC members last month promoting the sport's bid.
IOC rules prohibit the three sports campaigning in this way in the three-week window before the Sept. 8 IOC vote.
Nenad Lalovic, the Serbian president of wrestling's international governing body (FILA), told Around The Rings that FILA reported the infraction to the IOC and that the IOC said the infraction was minor.
"There is nothing hidden," Lalovic said. "The story is closed."
- mogogo1 - Sep 6, 2013 at 1:51 PM
Wow, the Olympics are a joke. There's actually rules on when snail mail can be sent?
- qcubed3 - Sep 7, 2013 at 2:11 PM
To the Wrestling Federation: when sending mail to any IOC member, please make sure to include the requisite payoff check, made out in blank. Failure to include such check is deemed a major violation of the IOC rules.

Pin It Now!
Ahhhh... I'm so pleased with how this turned out!
Just a little chalk paint, a cheap stencil and a couple of hours...
It's amazing how a little paint can transform a piece of furniture!
I used this stencil that I picked up at Hobby Lobby.
Next time, I will definitely buy some spray adhesive... lesson learned!
I lightly brushed over the (previously spray painted) white metal pulls.
10 comments:
This turned out lovely. Just yesterday, I picked up a stencil from Hobby Lobby that I'm looking forward to using on a dresser. Can hardly wait to get started on it. I didn't purchase the adhesive yet and seeing what you wrote reminded me that I had better get some before I start with my project.

Since the Mercury Program, medical doctors have been very involved in NASA's human spaceflight efforts. "Flight docs" take part in astronauts' selection and training, in their physical health care and psychological support, and in the monitoring of the environment onboard spacecraft.
During Shuttle-Mir, NASA flight physicians expanded their roles. Besides overseeing the astronauts' health and the life support situation onboard Mir, they traveled to Russia to assist the astronauts during training and served as important communicators and facilitators during their Mir residencies.
In his Oral History, Mir astronaut David Wolf talks about how important the flight docs were. Wolf says, "The flight surgeons take on a new importance in a mission like this. They do more than what would traditionally be considered flight surgeon work. They are your alter ego. They're yourself on the ground, and they know the people you need to talk with and communicate with." According to Wolf, flight surgeons were the Mir astronauts' "gateways," for all sorts of information and communication.
Wolf praises Chris Flynn, his mission's flight surgeon, saying, "This takes a long relationship before the mission. He has to know you and your family, and you have to know him, and he's under a similar stress as you are on these long-duration missions..."
Interestingly, three of the U.S. Mir astronauts are also medical doctors: Thagard, Linenger and Wolf.
The following table gives the "flight docs" during Shuttle-Mir, with links to the physicians' profiles. Several excerpts about flight docs and the medical aspects of Shuttle-Mir are available in the links below the table.

A prominent Massachusetts anesthesiologist allegedly fabricated 21 medical studies that claimed to show benefits from painkillers like Vioxx and Celebrex, according to the hospital where he worked.
Baystate Medical Center, Springfield, Mass., said that its former chief of acute pain, Scott S. Reuben, had faked data used in the studies, which were published in several anesthesiology journals between 1996 and 2008.
The hospital has asked the medical journals to retract the 21 studies, some of which reported favorable results from the use of painkillers like Pfizer Inc.'s Bextra and Merck & Co.'s Vioxx -- both since withdrawn -- as well as Pfizer's Celebrex and Lyrica. Dr. Reuben's research work also claimed positive findings for Wyeth's antidepressant Effexor XR as a pain killer. And he wrote to the Food and Drug Administration, urging the agency not to restrict the use of many of the painkillers he studied, citing his own data on their safety and effectiveness.
"Dr. Reuben deeply regrets that this happened," said the doctor's attorney, Ingrid Martin. "Dr. Reuben cooperated fully with the peer review committee. There were extenuating circumstances that the committee fairly and justly considered." She declined to explain the extenuating circumstances. Dr. Reuben didn't respond to requests for comment sent through Ms. Martin and left at his former office.
The retractions, first reported in Anesthesiology News, have caused anesthesiologists to reconsider the use of certain practices adopted as a result of Dr. Reuben's research, doctors said. His work is considered important in encouraging doctors to combine the use of painkillers like Celebrex and Lyrica for patients undergoing common procedures such as knee and hip replacements.
Last month, the journal Anesthesia & Analgesia retracted 10 of Dr. Reuben's studies and posted a list of the 11 published in other journals on its Web site. The journal Anesthesiology said it has retracted three of Dr. Reuben's articles.
Dr. Reuben had been a paid speaker on behalf of Pfizer's medicines, and it paid for some of his research. "It is very disappointing to learn about Dr. Scott Reuben's alleged actions," Pfizer said in a statement. "When we decided to support Dr. Reuben's research, he worked for a credible academic medical center and appeared to be a reputable investigator."
Wyeth said it isn't aware of any financial relationship between the company and Dr. Reuben.
An FDA spokeswoman said late Tuesday she wasn't aware of the matter. Merck had no immediate comment.
Hal Jenson, the chief academic officer at Baystate Medical, said a routine audit last spring flagged discrepancies in Dr. Reuben's work. That led to a larger investigation in which Dr. Reuben cooperated, Dr. Jenson said. "The conclusions are not in dispute," he added.
Dr. Reuben is on an indefinite leave from his post at Baystate, the hospital said. He no longer holds an appointment as a professor at Tufts University's medical school, according to the university.
Baystate concluded that "Dr. Reuben was solely responsible for the fabrication of data," Dr. Jenson said.
Jeffrey Kroin, who co-wrote four papers with Dr. Reuben, said he was dumbfounded to receive a letter earlier this year from Baystate, retracting the studies.
"We analyzed it and made figures and graphs, and sent it back, and wrote papers, and everything seemed fine," said Dr. Kroin of Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. "If someone has a good reputation, has 10 years of papers and has a very high position within their medical school, generally you assume they have a lot of integrity."
Jacques E. Chelly, the head of acute interventional postoperative pain service at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, said he was "shocked" by the news of the retractions. Dr. Reuben "was very well respected," Dr. Chelly said.
He added that the situation has prompted his hospital to review the protocols it uses to treat patients for pain, because Dr. Reuben's work was so influential in establishing them. He said the hospital was now conducting its own study to verify the efficacy of drugs that Dr. Reuben claimed were effective painkillers.
In an editorial in the journal Anesthesiology, editor James C. Eisenach warned that "these retractions clearly raise the possibility that we might be heading in wrong directions or toward blind ends in attempts to improve pain therapy."
The retracted studies aren't expected to affect the drugs' regulatory status because Dr. Reuben's studies weren't part of the packages that manufacturers submitted to the FDA or European authorities.

Over the years there have been several older women in my life to whom I have been able to turn when I needed some parenting advice. These are women whose children are grown - and if my kids turn out half as good as their kids, er, adults, I will have done a very decent job of parenting. These are women for whom I have a deep respect. They help me be a better mom.
The person or persons you turn to for parenting advice may or may not be your own parents, or even a relative. They may or may not be older. Maybe it's your brother or uncle, or maybe it's a friend from the old neighborhood who always seemed to have her or his head screwed on straight. Maybe it's a neighbor, or someone you have met only virtually in an online community. Maybe it's a leader in your religious community. Maybe it's your sweetie. Look around. Who is it that you can turn to? Who makes you a better parent? Whomever it is, that person (or persons) is your parenting mentor.
You can be sure that unless your mentor is also your mother, he or she is not expecting to hear from you on Mother's Day. It will be quite a surprise, I'm sure. You don't need to get fancy, unless you want to. A thank you, maybe some flowers is all it takes. But the thank you is the most important part of it.No matter what you do this Mother's Day, make it a great one - for you, your mother, your kids, and your parenting mentor.

ESPN Prime trade down candidate the Texans
Premium content but I will summarize: (http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/draft...odd&id=4035825)
ESPN says that Texans are in one of the best positions to trade down with SD behind us in need of tackle help, and likely only one top tier tackle left on the board. Likeliest candidate would be Philly, with the proper ammunition (two first rounders give them the ability to trade thier second) and a serious tackle need. I would agree with most of the assessment but I am not sure an OT will be available at 15. Philly would be coming up from either 21 or 28, which according to the trade chart would net either a 3, 4, and 6th, or a 2nd, 4th, 5th and 6th respectively. You might still be able to get Matthews at 21 if that is your choice. http://www.draftcountdown.com/features/Value-Chart.php Edit/Delete Message |

Re: ESPN Prime trade down candidate the Texans
I think Oher could still be around at 15 and that may bring Philly calling.
Our greatest chance is Sanchez falling though. Someone will want him. As for the draft value chart, that thing is for fans and mock drafters. I really don't believe that NFL teams structure their trades around it. Defining a definite value for a certain selection is ridiculous because the talent in the draft isn't the same every year. |

Re: ESPN Prime trade down candidate the Texans
I suggested this same trade with Philly a few weeks ago on another site with a Philly board and they didn't seem to enthusiastic about it. Here's what I suggested.
TRADE PROPOSAL: Houston would trade pick #15 worth 1050 trade value points to Philadelphia for pick #28-660 points, pick #53-370 points and pick #182-19 points, totaling 1049 points. We can even skip the pick #182, 6th rounder, if needed. I threw it in there to make the trade point value workout evenly. Opinions? Personally, I'd love this trade down to 28 and picking up Philly's 2nd and 6th round picks. We could get a good player at 28 cheaper and of better value than having to reach for someone at 15. |

I would be fine with the trade down, I think Matthews will slip considering the Roid rumors or truth.

Re: ESPN Prime trade down candidate the Texans
Another trade possibility is 21+28 for 15+46 which was mentioned in walterfootball. Oher could be there at 15 and Britton will be there for sure. In between us, San Diego and Detroit (if they go Stafford) will both be looking for an OT so this makes some sense.

The Trade Federation submarine, commonly known as the Trade Federation U-boat, was one of the very few dedicated submarines originally used by the Trade Federation to see action in the Clone Wars.
Unable to be detected from the air until surfaced, it was perfect for ambushing seaborne convoys or defense of islands or costal regions. However, it had to be surfaced to use its weapons, and when surfaced, it was vulnerable to air attack.
The missiles could only target sea or land targets, but the laser cannon could target air units. Having no shields, the U-boat mainly relied on its hull armor for protection, but a determined strafing run by aircraft could still destroy the U-boat in one pass. When an attack was detected, the U-boat usually attempted a crash dive, as laser or blaster bolts could not harm it underwater.

For sheer plunging, a very verbal John West has them all beat as he oscillates his dick with metronomic precision and regularity — which is especially appreciated by Nikki Sexx in doggie position. For MILF fans who wish to be mothered, the huge natural balcony of Rachel Love is a great place to get lost. Nice.

Rockstar Energy Suzuki Double Pole Position in Brazil! / Mar.30.2014
Team Suzuki Press Office – March 29.
Suzuki RM-Z450 and RM-Z250 machinery marked the fastest pace around the red jumpy and bumpy Beto Carrero circuit today as Kevin Strijbos and Glenn Coldenhoff sealed pole position in the MXGP and MX2 classes respectively for the Grand Prix of Brazil.
Hot and humid conditions greeted this third round of 18 in the FIM Motocross World Championship and after decent starts and an effective rhythm around the Santa Catarina layout, Suzuki celebrated its first Saturday double sweep since the 2010 Grand Prix of Latvia.
Strijbos was in fine form and after drifting into the lead on the opening lap of the 20 minute and two-lap Qualification Heat, the Belgian eased to a confident and comfortable margin of victory. The performance was akin to his Pole seized at the first round of the season several weeks ago in Qatar and gives the veteran an impressive two-out-of-three ratio.
MXGP was comprehensively owned on the first day of action at Beto Carrero by the Rockstar Suzuki Energy World MXGP crew as Clement Desalle followed Strijbos to the chequered flag in second position; allowing the Belgians the first and second choices in the gate for tomorrow's motos.
Over in MX2 and with the Rockstar Energy Suzuki Europe RM-Z250 Coldenhoff raced to his first Saturday win of the season in just his third GP appearance in yellow. The Dutchman chased and passed early leader Jose Butron to claimed victory by three seconds from Max Anstie. With World Champion Jeffrey Herlings absent through injury, Coldenhoff is the sole rider in the class with experience of winning a Grand Prix and now stands in a great position to obtain his second career triumph tomorrow.
The weather outlay for Sunday predicts cloudy and unstable conditions but with a small amount of rainfall forecast.
Kevin Strijbos:
"I pushed hard to make a gap at the front and it was eight-10 seconds at one point. I had a bit of arm-pump so in the end it looked easy but it wasn't! Overall though it was a good day – both in MXGP and MX2 - and we have to try and repeat it tomorrow. In the morning I couldn't really find my lines but we made some changes for the race that worked out. Everybody is happy at the moment and we are trying our best. As I've said before I like Brazil and this circuit. It is great to race in front of the public here. It will be special to make it three podiums in a row tomorrow."
Clement Desalle:
"It was a good race but I really had to work for it. My start wasn't too bad but Nicholls blocked me really hard. I came out sixth instead of any further up, so then I had to push to reach second. In the last few laps I had a stitch so I had to slow down; I need to watch my breathing a bit more carefully tomorrow. We might have rain on Sunday but if the track is prepared well it won't be a problem. At least I hope we have some more lines because the layout is not easy for overtaking."
Glen Coldenhoff:
"Any victory is never easy! I moved my way to the front and once I was there I took it bit easy to save some energy for tomorrow. It was really hot today and I'm not so used to that but I'm sure we'll be fine for the motos. We will do our best and try really hard. For sure we want that red plate but last year here I also won the qualification heat and it didn't mean much. I think I am one of the favourites tomorrow but Tonus and Anstie are also fast. It will be a tough competition."

Rave Form
Greg Harrison's 'Groove' follows an SF rave from dusk to dawn
By Richard von Busack
THE MOVIE Groove, a dusk-to-dawn picture with a short prologue and epilogue, presents rave culture in an affectionate light. Greg Harrison's film concerns the staging of a illegal night-long dance at a remote San Francisco warehouse. We see how the organizers break into an abandoned building, tap into the power supply and set up loudspeakers. Celebrity DJs arrive for their shifts with crates of records to create an unbroken wall of sound.
The big guest star, heavily lionized by the script, is DJ Digweed. Of the other record-spinners, including Snaz and Forest Green, only DJ Polywog has real star potential. This quirky blonde with an Elvisine scowl should have had more scenes. As for the musical differences between the DJs, I was deaf to it--I was in the position of listening to an Inuit explaining the variations in the 90 different qualities of snow. Some things, however, never change. That combination of drugs, loud music and desire for escape and communion has been around a long time now.
Groove has a musical's true, skimpy plot. David (Hamish Linklater), newly arrived in San Francisco from Michigan, is nervous about what a rave entails. His brother, Colin (Denny Kirkwood), more experienced, has just announced his engagement to Harmony (Mackenzie Firgens). At the rave, the three carom off other characters: Leyla (Lola Glaudini), who starts to spend the evening with David, and Anthony (Vince Riverside), a cruiser surveying this touchy-feely scene with something more basic in mind than just merging consciousnesses.
The quickness and lightness of Groove recommend it, along with Linklater's and Glaudini's touching performances. Groove has a sense of humor about rave culture--and that humor isn't easy to muster about a scene infused with psychedelics and besieged by the police. Lines like "If you get past the Tickle-Me Elmo backpacks and the floppy cloth plants, some of these girls'd be cute" show that Harrison hasn't taken the scene with fatal seriousness. Still, the lightness of Groove can turn against it at times. David's and Leyla's big problems, we learn, are their stalemated careers, not their emotions. Groove doesn't stumble over the big issues, because it never reaches for anymore than the little ones.
I doubt if anyone lured to this movie will care about the drug use, though the press notes try to calm the squares with prose worthy of the antidrug pamphlets: "Some people who go to raves seek the enhancement of illegal drugs like Ecstasy, LSD and GHB." Groove may not want to glamorize drugs--how could you stand that racket without drugs?--but pretty much everyone takes something to make it through the night. ("I'd rather bake than fry," says one character turning down Ecstasy in favor of marijuana.) Mostly what appeals in Groove is the argument that this rave culture is a self-fermented scene. The film persuades one that raves are a countercultural effort to make something out of nothing, to bring a crowd together for something more special than money.

Gonna be hilarious if Kishi skips back to Madara or Sasuke when the breaks over.
A soul that cannot be saved drifts and disappears,
In the instant it vanishes, it shines faintly,
Now, it creates a night with a full moon.
My friend has a theory that Tobi is a Zetsu clone of Madara, because of the white substance he seems to be made of (ex: when he amputated his arm, there was white liquid in place of blood).
Is it plausible?
I didn't know there was no new chapter this week. So I guess it looks like everyone's talking about Tobi'd identity. I can't wait for it to be revealed if only so these Tobi theories can be put to rest. Some of the theories are really good and some just make my brain hurt because they are so confusing. But it is exciting to guess who Tobi could really be. I just hope they make it good if it really is Obito.
Parena or Serecham both equal Serena+Pancham!
I'm sure he does at least for some. I know if I was writing a book series like this and already had a plan set for it, I wouldn't mind seeing some of the theories just to see who actually guessed right, who came close, who was dead wrong, and what were some of the most crazy theories out there. It can be fun depending on how you look at it.
Parena or Serecham both equal Serena+Pancham!
Ugh, there was a break. The humanity.
I can see Kishi pulling a cliffhanger with Tobi's mask shattering, then following either two of the other plots for a month.
I can so see that happen...
In the Anime it was really nice to see Ten Ten fighting the lightning monster, she needs more moments like this.
Spoiler:- My latest challenge:
I wonder if he was influenced by some of the theories. I have to admit that if I were an author and people were talking about my work, I would try to listen to their suggestions and such in order to please my fanbase. So maybe Kishi developed an original idea for who Tobi might be, but changed it later on when he thought of a better one.
Geez. Does he live in a cave or something?
It seems that people were right about the producers of the anime adding new scenes to this arc. I'm glad that Tenten finally got some screen-time; I'm just slightly disappointed that we have to stay tuned to the anime to get scenes like this.
And it's funny because Kishi claims that Tenten is one of his favorite characters.
Some spoilers are out, although I'm not sure if they're accurate.
Spoiler:- Spoilers:
The person who posted them also posted the cover of next week's WSJ though (so I guess it leaked?). I think we can expect the chapter either today or tomorrow if it's real.
I forgot that chapters usually come out early when there's breaks. Anyway, I love how the spoilers blatantly imply that Tobi is Obito.
The spoiler actually implies otherwise. Tobi response to Kakshi's question suggest that while he has Obito's eye, he took it from the dead Obito.
A soul that cannot be saved drifts and disappears,
In the instant it vanishes, it shines faintly,
Now, it creates a night with a full moon.
Oh, interesting. I only read Kira's spoilers.

first to be clear, there are significant differences in the mmorpg's from 10-15 years back (or more). so i am not belittling those changes. however, its interesting to note that a number of us older gamers can look back and think: my gahd, what was i thinking camping that spawn all day. the sad truth, that i am coming to accept, is that neurologically speaking its becoming more and more evident that the brain's ability to adapt to change as we age does diminish and it does diminish noticeably. im afraid that neurologically speaking some of us are simply getting older. and i mean that sincerely, not casting any aspersions. but the facts are that as you age your neuronal pathways become less and less "flexible" in forming new connections or altering paths. note, this is not about intelligence or the ability to process information. it seems that in some ways its easier when you are older. but the ability to form new paths or adapt older ones in new ways is affected (even if you are doing Sudoku every morning). this is often why older folks are stereotypically seen as not embracing change. neurologically, its just harder. so those things we've enjoyed in the past seem more pleasurable because in a sense they really are more pleasurable. and the reason is that the brain is not having to overcome an increasingly difficult hurdle towards change. this doesn't mean that everyone over 40 can't change or adapt. but it does mean that it is decreasing over time. "There are at least two kinds of games. |
Even if I do have more trouble adapting to change as I get older that doesn't change the fact that the games have changed. Now they are shallower, emptier, shorter, easier, quicker....
Because devs used to make games they wanted to play instead of corporation's deciding what will make them the most money. MMOs lost their soul. Sort of like D&D.

Originally posted by Magiknight This. Yeah, I may have trouble adapting to change, but as you noted, today's titles are quite different and not for the better IMO, but your mileage may vary. Arrogant, Condescending, Dismissive, Elitist, "Meany", you speak as if these are bad things? |
OP you are right that as you age people are more resistant to changes. But I do not think that's the issue with MMORPG. The reason why older games seemes better is because they were not fast paced as they are now. That gave us players the chance to interact more with each others and create good communities, which is what make a longeve MMO. Camping spots might seems ridiculous today, but if you think about, how many conversation you had during those camping sessions? And how many friends you made? Personally I used to make lots of friends during camping sessions and dungeon crawling. Today the pace is so fast that everything is over before you can write a sentence in the chat window. A MMO without community interaction is not a MMO for me, that's why old MMO were better than today. It has nothing to do with changes but the fact that they don't feel social. By the way I do not have problem adapting to changes in Single player games, so it is definetly not the changes that make me like old MMOs better. |
Originally posted by Kyleran I agree. Gone are the attempts at making a virtual world, filled with freedom and consequence to my actions. Now there is no freedom to screw up anything. No risk and no reward. Everyone is treated like a child, which makes the game much less rewarding. There really is no arguing this, it's the cold hard truth. Some may like these later types of games...I don't. How OP missed that the games have changed, drastically for the worse, is beyond me. Hell I've been forced to play a PvP game (Darkfall UW) and I hate PvP. But at least the world is expansive virtually seemless and there are consequences to my actions. Not being led by the nose from braindead quest hub to quest hub. |
A lot of older MMO seem more like 3d MUDs. New MMOs seem like 3d cash shops. :( Little forum boys with their polished cyber toys: whine whine, boo-hoo, talk talk. |
Originally posted by Magiknight I agree with this. Regardless of one has nostalgia for the old days or not, the games have changed drastically. Basically, they have been dumbed down dramatically to cater to players who do not enjoy challenging game and slow progression pace. Nostalgia may have some impact, but I have no doubt that the bigger issue is that games lost their soul and heart while turning into instant gratification fests. And I believe, like some others do, this is why all those shiny new MMORPGs that are released with huge hyphe quickly start to fade away in a few months. |
Who says older games seem better (for me) ... They are less fun, more grind, dependent on others, less convenient, requires commitment .... I am glad i am not playing them anymore. |
Originally posted by Magiknight +1, shallow mmos are horrible....Shallow single player/fps type stuff is fine, but I don't want it in my mmo. |

I still play EQ1 - I play new games for a month and complete all content, then go back to EQ1 as the content there is endless in comparison. |
Originally posted by Xthos Yes, i agree. Eve has very shallow pve combat mechanics. That is why i don't play that game. |
Originally posted by ste2000 +1 I can't help but think what the financial turnaround is, it would be interesting to see why some companies are turning out free to plays much quicker now. These games are looking more and more like casinos everyday, faster, flashier, and newer ways to take your money. |
I was never into a grind but the new games are just borefest. Very poor mechanic single player styled games with virtual cash shops pushed down your throat the whole time. WoW is far superior to all these clones yet its long in the tooth and the repetition effects that game as well. I think one thing about the MMORPG genre is the lack of diversity in game play from game to game. It's a very tired formula. Changing the lore, combat, and slapping one gimmick on it does not change the quest hub grinds. |
Why even post? Did you like the old MMORPGs? I don't think you did. Do you enjoy the new MMOs? I think you do. How do you fit into the topic at hand? OP: Some changes I adapt to quite well, especially when those changes agree with what *I* thought needed to be changed. MMOs have removed downtime, which is where community is formed. |
I'm perfectly able to make friends even with no downtime... maybe the problem doesn't come from the games? The "old" games had good aspects, but most also were terrible, awful grind after grind nightmares where you had to play insane amounts of time to progress. And by insane, I mean unhealthy. So I disagree, "old" games aren't generally "better". And as said, most of those games are still around... just play them! My computer is better than yours. |
I dont think its my brains fault. I still love pvp 100% I've never grown tired of it. However, questing and stuff I can do without. its so mind numbing and tedious it makes me hate it. The bottom line is, if a game is fun I'll enjoy it. but every mmo seems to share the same cookie cutter build there really is no room for fun, if you play one you play them all.

Neurologically speaking, I've been training my twitch skills since age 13, and 6dof spatial awareness since age 22.
Nowadays I'm learning to unlearn what I used to know. My 30s so far feel much more stable than my 20s; no doubt I'll look back in my 40s and wonder 'how did I ever get by?' Personally, I think it's all part of this big illusion, but I can't spend too much time wondering about that to make it through a successful day. |
OP Posits. Responses can be paraphrased "Old games were just better 'cause they were." Unassailable position, of course, because qualitative judgements are after all judgements. "Why are red cars better?" "I said so." "Well, ok then. For you, they are indeed." The problem becomes escaping from the corner you have painted yourself into, should they stop manufacturing red paint. That too is a purely personal problem. |

Pimco Says External Growth May Lift 'Not Stellar' Asia
Asian growth matching the slowest since 2009 this year may receive a boost in 2014 as developed markets from the U.S. to Europe accelerate, according to Pacific Investment Management Co., the world's largest manager of bond funds.
Four of Asia's five largest economies outside Japan are slowing as regional expansion stalls at 6.23 percent for a second year, economist forecasts compiled by Bloomberg show. Shipments from China to the U.S. are poised to increase at the slowest pace since 2008 this year, according to China's Customs General Administration, while so-called G10-currency markets are on track to grow a combined 1.96 percent in 2014, the most since 2010.
"Asia's trajectory will continue to be shaped critically by the growth path in the U.S. and Europe," Ramin Toloui, the Singapore-based global co-head of emerging markets portfolio management at Pimco, wrote in a report published today. "The upshot is an Asian outlook in which growth is stabilizing but not stellar. Prospects for an improved external environment offer the possibility of support on the upside."
Countries from China to India and Indonesia are struggling to rebalance their economies as investors refocus on developed markets ahead of expected cuts to record U.S. stimulus. Investors pulled more than $1.6 billion from both emerging-markets equity and bond funds in the week to Dec. 11, according to data provider EPFR Global. The Federal Reserve, whose two-day meeting ends today, may start tapering its $85 billion-a-month of bond purchases this month, 34 percent of analysts surveyed by Bloomberg News predict.
China, Australia
While India and Indonesia are tackling fiscal and current account deficits, China is trying to reduce its reliance on exports and investment as it endures the longest streak of sub-8 percent growth in at least two decades. The nation, which set a 7.5 percent annual growth target this year, will try to expand at a rate that improves the quality and efficiency of development, according to a statement from the annual Central Economic Work Conference which ended last week.
"Growth in the next decade requires a rebalancing of the economy toward household demand," Toloui said in the report. "In the near term, China's economic performance will be dominated by the dialing back and forth of the credit conditions by policymakers."
The yield on China's benchmark 10-year bonds soared to 4.72 percent last month, the most in data going back to 2007, as authorities acted to cool credit growth. The seven-day repurchase rate, a gauge of funding availability in the banking system, averaged 4.02 percent this year, up from 3.5 percent in 2012.
Slowdown Downunder
Australia is also suffering from China's slowing economy as its demand for natural resources wanes. Limited evidence of any non-mining investment, except in the housing sector, means Australia's growth outlook is weak, Robert Mead, a Sydney-based portfolio manager at Pimco wrote in the same report.
Recently announced cuts to the manufacturing sector will also drag down growth in the next few years, Mead wrote. General Motors Co.'s Holden unit, the nation's largest carmaker, said last week it would shut production lines in 2017 after 69 years.
Carmakers have been hit by the Australian dollar surging almost 50 percent against the U.S. dollar from 2009 to 2012, making exports uncompetitive. The currency, which has weakened 14 percent this year, is likely to depreciate further, according to Mead.

A Marilyn Monroe statue has stood in front of Ziegler Suites & Rivertowne Rentals on Trent Boulevard for almost a decade. But a few months ago, a winter wind did more than just blow up our flirty-girl's skirt, it knocked her over completely.
"For three days straight I feel like I did nothing more than answer the phones," says Ruthie Tyson of Ziegler Suits & Rivertowne Rentals, "everyone wanted to know, 'where's Marilyn?' 'Is she going to be put back up?'."
That's when Don Elsass of Taberna stepped in.
"I don't know what we would have done if it wasn't for him." says Tyson.
Elsass had never worked with fiberglass but he was happy to should the challenge of setting Marilyn right. In his garage, he sanded down the statue, filled her cracks, and repainted.
"I think I put in about 30 man-hours on it." says Elsass.
Elsass says he did the restoration for fun because he is always looking for a project.
"This was the project that put the most pressure on me because it was going to be in the public eye. So i had to make sure it was going to be acceptable," says Elsass.
Still, Elsass says the Marilyn makeover became a joking point with friends. He was, after all, spending hours alone in the garage with the Marilyn statue.
"I called it, my affair with Marilyn," Elsass joked.
Marylin was restored several weeks ago, but Ziegler Suites & Rivertowne Rentals wanted to spruce up her perch before she was installed. She now is back on her post overlooking Trent Boulevard.

Yet another weight loss thread.
Alright here's a typical question. So here is my current set up. I've cut out all sugars from my diet (on occasion i'll eat cereal because I don't get enough milk), I eat small about every 3 hours and I drink roughly 4 liters of water a day. I exercise routinely, mostly weights and plyometrics with a decent amount of cardio which I am currently increasing. I just finished my freshman year of college which was absolute hell on my body. I actually shot up to about 180 and my weight going into the year was in the low 160s. I need to drop to a fighting weight of 155. Currently i'm at 170. I do not have a specific deadline as I am only training but I would like to be in the proper weight class before too long so I will be able to make the proper adjustments to the lost weight. My question is, if I switch to a more diet and cardio intensive schedule how much muscle mass will I be losing to make the drop? Should I be focused on maintaining muscle and losing weight or just cutting weight? Should I take the wrestling route?
Any comment?
Uh...are you trying to lose muscle weight or fat? If it's muscle...why do you want to fight at a lower weight class?
As to your question, sorry. I would give you advice, but I wouldn't want to mislead you, you know? |
Right now it sounds like you're not going to be competing anytime soon so you want to continue building lean muscle while burning fat, which is the good way to lose weight.
When fight time comes around, one or two days before is when you actually start cutting weight, which is mostly water weight, but anytime you go into starvation mode you lose muscle, so you'll lose a tiny bit of muscle during your cutting days. So basically, keep doing the weights, plyometrics, and cardio. Build yourself a very high metabolism. Then when your fight comes around, you do cardio in layers of clothes to lose water and eat SUPER TINY amounts of food such as almonds, spinach, or some type of protein. No salt, no sugar. Hope this helps. |

TEC Picks Up Where Other Analyst Firms Leave Off
TEC Picks Up Where Other Analyst Firms Leave Off
Written By:
TEC Staff
June 30 2011
When it's time to buy, TEC's granular analysis helps companies choose the right software solutions
Selecting enterprise software is complicated and time consuming, and leaves little room for error. With budgets, and sometimes jobs on the line, it's no surprise that IT decision makers look to analyst firms to help them minimize the costs and risks of making the wrong choice. Expert advice can be the key to a successful software selection project, as long as you're getting the right information at each stage of the process.
At TEC, we specialize in providing the type of detailed product and vendor data that you need when it comes time to make a buying decision. And that's what sets us apart.
An example: several firms focus on high-level analyses of software products, exploring the business characteristics of specific vendors, their product development roadmaps, their general strengths and weaknesses in the market, and so on. Those firms' research and reports tend to focus on particular vendors chosen by their analysts.
That kind of analysis is invaluable when you're researching software technologies and trying to understand how the market is evolving. But it won't allow you to see exactly how any one vendor's offering performs versus the competition—information that's crucial to finding the best software solutions for your company's unique business needs.
TEC's analysis, by contrast, focuses less on high level market trends and vendor analyses but goes into considerably more depth for each software solution. Where conventional software analyses may look at 200 to 500 criteria (software features and functions) at most, TEC's cover up to several thousand.
To help you manage that level of complexity during the evaluation and selection process, we provide the
TEC Advisor
online evaluation and selection system. Using TEC Advisor, you can define which criteria are most important for your company and instantly see which solutions best meet your requirements. Because you can work at any level—from major functional areas down to individual features—you can account for your most critical requirements without drowning in data.
The vendor and product data in TEC Advisor initiates from our repository of RFI responses that we gather from vendors, and update regularly based on the results of the selection projects we perform for our clients. Having ready access to a constantly refreshed repository of data on the features and functions of hundreds of software solutions means you spend much less time waiting for RFI and RFP responses, and you can produce a shortlist of solutions much more quickly.
In other words, TEC covers a broad range of vendors and products in great detail, and provides a simple online application to help you narrow down the list to get a report on the ones that are most likely to fit your business needs. And that can help you make a better, faster, more informed software selection.
So while TEC does provide some of the high-level research that other firms do—you'll find it in our
Vendor Showcase
, and right here on the TEC blog—the bulk of what we do is designed to complement the types of analysis that other firms provide. While they provide the business insight you need to make sure you're on the right track, we fill in the detail you need to make sure that the software you choose supports your business objectives.

While no guest stars for Friday Night Lights' upcoming fourth season have been set yet, Connie Britton admitted she's already campaigning for a visit by her friend Ron Perlman, whom fans of FX's Sons of Anarchy know needs no introduction.
"It would be so fun if he came in and was some awful coach, a really hardass coach," Connie said in an interview with E!. "Of course, Ron is busy doing Sons of Anarchy."
Connie also said she would love to show up on Friday Night Lights executive producer Jason Katims' new NBC show Parenthood, but scheduling conflicts won't allow it.
Similarly, the outstanding actress who plays Tami Taylor said. "At some point they were talking to me about doing some stuff on Californication, which I would really love. It couldn't work out, scheduling-wise, but if it ever did, it would be fun."

Scholarship for High School ViolinistSchools, Teachers and Camps: Where is the place (What is the foundation) to find a scholarship for a violinist to go to a high school? From Rubiantin Mesha Tambunan I'm Shasha Tambunan from Indonesia. I'm now 13 years old. I'm in grade 8 at school and grade 7 in violin course. I really really need a scholarship to go to an art school (high school or college). Where is the place (What is the foundation) to find an information about a scholarship in art school? thank you Shasha From Tanaeya McCoy
Posted on September 28, 2011 at 03:25 AM You should try the From the Top Radio Show. They give out a $10,000 to only a few students that apply, but it's worth a try! It's called the Jack Kent Cooke Young Artist Award. You can use it for anything pertaining to your musical career. You can also try Interlochen Arts Academy. I think they give out scholarships to those who want to go. From Rubiantin Mesha Tambunan

Mission San Luis de Apalachee (also known as San Luis de Talimali) was a Spanish Franciscan mission built in 1633 in the Florida Panhandle, two miles west of the present-day Florida Capitol Building in Tallahassee, Florida. It was located in the descendent settlement of Anhaica (also as Anhayca Apalache or Inihayca) capital of Apalachee Province. The mission was part of Spain's effort to colonize the region, and convert the Timucuan and Apalachee Indians to Christianity. The mission lasted until 1704, when it was evacuated and destroyed to prevent its use by an approaching militia of Creek Indians and South Carolinians.
The site where the mission stood was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1966.
Apalachee Province was one of the most powerful and wealthy chiefdoms or provinces in Florida and the Apalachee were the most advanced native peoples in Florida [1] surpassing the Timucua, Potano, Tocobaga, and Calusa. The Apalachee were part of the Mississippian culture of mound builders and had well-established administrative and religious systems.
First contact[edit]
In 1528, Pánfilo de Narváez is the first recorded European presence in Apalachee setting up camp south of Anhaica near present day St. Marks. In 1539, Hernando de Soto wintered at Anhaica (in present-day Tallahassee) celebrating the first Christmas in the North America. In 1607, some Apalachee Indians requested friars and the first ones visited in 1608. In 1612 the Apalachees made a formal request for a mission but the Spanish did not oblige. In 1625 Apalachees began to send food supplies overland to St. Augustine, the major point of Spanish control over shipping and defense of La Florida. The Spanish, however, needed the densely populated and extremely fertile Apalachee Province to provide labor and provisions for St. Augustine.
In 1633, Pedro Muñoz and Francisco Martínez launched a formal mission effort in Apalachee Province. In 1638 the first of 3 or 4 soldiers came to Apalachee Province to explore for ports and purchase foodstuffs for the governor. No evidence has been discovered indicating a fort or garrison was built then.
Spanish rule[edit]
From 1645 to 1651 soldiers lived at Asile Hacienda on Apalachee Province's eastern border. The soldiers and deputy governor were both removed late in 1651 and did not return until mid-1654 under a new governor.
In 1656, Spanish authorities decided to establish their western capital on one of the region's highest hilltops for strategic purposes. San Luis was described by Spanish military authorities as extending for miles and being completely indefensible. inhabitants of old San Luis moved to the present site at the request of the Spaniards. The garrison was expanded to 12 and San Luis's chief promised to build a substantial blockhouse for them. Under pressure from other Apalachee, San Luis's chief said that 6 soldiers would suffice. Although the governor planned for further expansion of the garrison and building a regular fort, Apalachee opposition to the project stalled it for well over a generation. The blockhouse at San Luis was described in 1675 as a "fortified country house." From 1656 to 1680 the size of the garrison varied between 12, 19, and 25 men.
The Apalachee men and women were excellent agriculturists and provided much of the food for San Luis as well as for export to such places as St. Augustine and Havana.
In 1675, Claudio Luis de Florencia, the first deputy governor arrived. Luis de Florencia lived with his extended family at old San Luis. Nothing is known about the nature of his residence. By 1675 more than 1,400 Spaniards and Apalachee lived under the jurisdiction of San Luis. There were very few Spanish women creating a situation where the Spanish soldiers frequently married Indian women as a means to Christianize the native population and make them more "civilized." While the size of most other Apalachee missions declined sharply over the years, the population of San Luis increased.
The buildings at San Luis included Spanish and Apalachee residential areas, the Franciscan Church and Spanish fort, as well as the native Council House which was one of the largest historic Indian structures in the southeastern United States at the time holding 2,000-3,000 people.
In the early 1680s, the blockhouse was pulled down and replaced with a temporary makeshift barracks. The garrison was then expanded to 40 men, and sometimes even more for special expeditions.
In 1688, San Marcos de Apalache at St. Marks was also built from lumber cut at San Luis, but it was left to rot when the skilled laborers were diverted to construct a fort in Apalachicola country in 1689. This fort was staffed by 20 soldiers and 20 Apalachee warriors.
From 1695–1697 San Luis's new blockhouse was built. In mid-April 1696, the governor reported that it was completed except for one-third of the roof. Work was then suspended because of the spring planting.
In 1698, San Luis Apalachees were seriously alienated when Spaniards commandeered some of their houses and land; Spaniards also took lumber intended for church repairs and forced Indians to build houses for them.
In October 1702, an attempt to turn the blockhouse into a proper fort began after the defeat of a Spanish-Apalachee force on the Flint River. The fort would have a palisade and parapets, as well as a dry moat. It was apparently completed in 1703 despite the impact of a severe epidemic. At the end of July 1704, following a devastating series of raids by English and Creek raiders, the diminished Spanish garrison destroyed the fort and withdrew to St. Augustine.
Beginning in 1996, Renker Eich Parks Architects, of St. Petersburg, Florida, with Herchel Sheperd, FAIA, undertook designing the reconstruction of many of the buildings in the mission using archeological and historical evidence to conjecture the architecture of the buildings to how they would originally have been built. The buildings that have since been reconstructed include the Church, the Convento, the Council House, the Chief's House, the Fort and Blockhouse, and a typical Spanish House as well as many minor features around the site.

VEHICLE Jester | |
(Rear quarter view) | |
Vehicle type | Civilian Car |
Body style | 2-door tuner coupe |
Capacity | 2 (driver and passenger) |
Appearance(s) | GTA San Andreas GTA Liberty City Stories (Beta) |
The Jester is a two-door coupe in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. It was also supposed to reappear in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, but was removed before the game's release.
Designed as a two-door sports coupe, the Jester strongly resembles the 1993-2002 Mark IV Toyota Supra. Instantly one can notice the Jester, in comparison with the Supra is disproportionate in design; being quite long and wide in relation to its height. The nose appears less rounded and very long. The bonnet/ hood is long and features no ridges. The front bumper features three ducts, two taller, narrow ones which have outer edges in line with the headlights. The main cantral duct is split vertically down the middle, contrary to the horizontal split on the Supra.
The side profile of the car reinforces the irregularities in the car's design relative to the Supra. The side profile lacks almost all of the curvature prevalent on the Supra. Unlike the Supra the wing mirrors are mounted in front of the A pillars. The car does feature a small air duct in front of the rear wheels arches. The greenhouse area of the car lacks curvature, setting the design of the Jester apart from it real life counterpart. Unlike SZ-R and RZ Supra models, the Jester has its fuel tank access cap placed on the left-hand side of the car. By default the car comes with six-spoke wheels, contrary to the Supra with five spoke wheels.
The rear features yet more significant differences to the Supra. I does feature a similar hatch design but the door extends to a point lower than the rear lights, unlike the Supra, whose hatch has its bottom edge placed at the middle of the rear lights' height. One major difference with the hatch is lack of the large curved rear wing which is found on many Supra SZ-R and RZ models in stock form. The rear lights of the jester only feature the three circular lamps and the inner edges of the housing are straight, whereas the Supra has four lamps and housing that is curved at the inner and outer edges. The rear bumper of the Jester spans the rear face of the car and extends to the rear wheel arch, unlike the Supra which has a rear bumper spanning only the rear face and a small distance of the car's side. At the base of the rear the Jester features two exhaust tips, contrary to the Supra's single exhaust tip.
As it is considered a tuner, it can only be modified at Wheel Arch Angels.
The car feels and sounds as if powered by a V6 or high input 4-cylinder. Unlike the Supra, the Jester is front-wheel-drive, yet retains its sporty qualities. In acceleration, speed, handling, and braking, the Jester is inferior to most other sports cars and tuners in the game, superior only to the Euros. However, the vehicle still possesses good grip and braking, ideal for sharp cornering using the brake or handbrake. Like most tuners in the game, the body construction is poor, making the car susceptible to intense damage from high-speed impacts and heavy gunfire.
The Jester can only be modified at Wheel Arch Angels in Ocean Flats, San Fierro. However, some people prefer the car un-modded, due to its Urban style that it offers.

- The default radio station in the Jester is CSR 103.9.
- In the beta version of the game, the Jester had a different front design and featured Ferrari-styled rims.[1]

Is using vinegar for cleaning harmful to septic tanks? This is the first time I have lived in a home with a septic tank and I know bacteria live in the tank and I know vinegar kills bacteria.
Celeste from Beaverdam, VA
Here are the recent answer to this question.
By Susie [1]10/10/2007
I have lived in houses with septic tanks since 1986. I use vinager for cleaning and washing cloths and have never had a problem with my tank.
By natalie (Guest Post)10/09/2007
We also just bought a house with a septic tank and I've never really lived with a septic system before so i started trying to find something safe to use in the toilet cause they had bad stains. Anyway, my aunt in Texas has lived in a house with a septic for like 15 yrs and she actually told me to use 2 pints of vinegar in the toilets, scrub it, let it sit for awhile, scrub again, then flush and she said it's actually better than using any other chemical cleaner and doesn't kill the (good) bacteria.
By rda (Guest Post)10/06/2007
In each toilet, once a month, put (3) packages of yeast. Flush and you are done. Much cheaper than Rid-X and such.
Never had a problem with the septic tank or using this. I have been doing this for over 30 years now. A plumber told me to do this one time.
By Louise B. [4]10/05/2007
I don't think that you would put enough vinegar into your septic tank to affect it one way or another. I used to live in a house with a septic tank that had a pump out for liquids into a field, and then the solids were removed once a year. We really didn't pay much attention to what went into the tank, except of course, the usual detergents and soaps, household wastes, wash water, etc. There is so much water that goes through your system, that anything you run down the drain is very diluted. You don't put anything like gasoline or used motor oil or weed killer or anything like that down the drain.

jtd Show all reviews | (Vie de Chateau Intense.) 04th May, 2011 |
Diamondflame Singapore Show all reviews | VIE DE CHATEAU introduces what smells to me like a dry, smoky green leather chypre with just a touch of sweetness. The texture seems a little gritty at first but smoothens itself out as musky patchouli ties up the disparate elements together, effectively binding the dry brown of hay and tobacco leaves to the deep earthy green of oakmoss. 12th February, 2011 |
Show all reviews | Vie de Chateau sits right between Eau Sauvage and Diorella. It is a lemony chypre with a herbal touch. 28th January, 2011 |
Redbeard United States Show all reviews | This falls into what I'd call a unisex sweet, smoky green hay category, almost like a variant of Devin that's been semi-feminized with florals, or Richard James plus smoke. Interestingly enough, LuckyScent considers it masculine, so the Basenotes directory is wrong either way; I'm assuming LS decided this because a lot of the earlier florals seem to be violet. Mostly it's tobacco on florals, which isn't really my thing (in fact normally I hate this) but it's well-done for what it is. Ultimately it reminds me of incense, but of the more floral, less woody or spicy bent, and stays away from the moldy or musty character of Tsar, which I also place in this family. It's still too floral for me, but if I were forced to pick a masculine floral, I'd easily take this over a lot of the heavier ones that get such rave reviews. Still, I'd ultimately prefer to go the pure violet route with Ajaccio Violets. 12th December, 2010 |
Show all reviews | This a unisex offering, from her "eau" line. Not strictly for women, neither in in feel nor intent. 17th July, 2010 (Last Edited: 27th July, 2010) |
Agent Betty Show all reviews | Dry herby-leathery top notes burn off into buttery hay and tobacco notes. I do get an odd something that I was able to place as banana after another reviewer mentioned it. Vie de Chateau has a good longevity: I can catch whiffs of this on myself for hours after applying. 27th May, 2010 |

Functioning of the high and lower courts across the country was hit for the second consecutive day today as lawyers struck work protesting against a bill, which seeks to regulate legal education and profession.
On the second and last day of the protest, the Bar Council of India claimed even the Supreme Court lawyers supported the stir.
The Delhi High Court lawyers, who had not responded to the BCI's two-day protest call on Wednesday, struck work today, joining their counterparts in various high courts across the country in opposing the Higher Education and Research Bill.
On the second and last day of the country-wide stir, BCI Chairman Manan Kumar Mishra told PTI that the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) had been exempted from abstaining from work on their request and added its members had extended their full support to the BCI's stand.
"The BCI had granted exemption to SCBA under the special circumstances, but the members of the SCBA have shown their protest by putting white ribbon over their black coat," said Mr. Mishra.
Mishra added the BCI would soon convene a joint meeting of all the state bar councils and the office-bearers of various bar associations in the country to chart out future course of action to oppose the Bill, which he said, seeks to usurp the BCI's statutory power, given by the Advocates Act, to regulate the legal education and profession in the country.
He said the next course of action tentatively included a dharna at Jantar Mantar and peaceful demonstration before Parliament during its forthcoming monsoon sessions.
The reports from various cities, including Mumbai and Srinagar said the lawyers abstained from work on the second day, with the agitating lawyers from Allahabad saying that they would be observing the strike for a third day on Friday as well.
