Moto X (2014) vs. Droid Turbo: Up close
December 13, 2014
The Moto X (2014) was one of the best phones Motorola ever made ... well, at least until it released the Droid Turbo just a few weeks later. So which one makes the most sense? Read on, as Gizmag goes hands-on to compare the 2nd-gen Moto X and Droid Turbo. Read More
Review: Motorola's Droid Turbo is powerful, but is it perfect?
November 17, 2014
When it was first announced last month, Motorola's Droid Turbo sure looked like one of the most muscular smartphones yet. Since then, Gizmag has had a chance to test one out to see if this beefed up Moto X lives up to expectations. Read More
Lately, smartphones are growing larger, lighter and thinner, making them increasingly frail to the point where we might have to worry about a $1,000 iPhone 6 Plus warping or bending in a back pocket. Amid this strange new status quo, the Kyocera Brigadier is the increasingly rare phone that need not be handled with care. Read More
The U.S. wireless industry: so good for AT&T and Verizon, yet so bad for everyone else. In some respects, it's the world's leading market. Its LTE rollout has been aggressive and expansive, and it gets the hottest devices first. For customers, though, things aren't always so rosy. The two carriers' virtual duopoly keeps prices high and new policies unfair. The sole hope for increased competition may lie with Sprint. For US$20.1 billion, Japan's SoftBank today acquired a 70 percent stake in the carrier. Though the move could be seen as a sign of desperation for the (distant) third-place Sprint, it could also ultimately invigorate competition and swing some of the power back to customers. Read More
Galaxy Nexus Android Ice Cream Sandwich phone hits U.S.
December 14, 2011

The Motorola RAZR is back, only this time it's a smartphone – and a very slim one, at that. Motorola Mobility and Verizon Wireless unveiled the new 7.1 mm-thick DROID RAZR yesterday, with the promise that it should be in stores early next month. Not only is the device said to be the skinniest smartphone in existence, but it is reportedly also the first to be able to stream video from Netflix at HD resolution. Read More
Motorola has officially unveiled the successor to the DROID 2 with the Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) powered DROID 3. Coming in at 0.5-in (13 mm) thick, Motorola is calling its new device the world's thinnest smartphone with a physical full QWERTY keyboard. Motorola's original DROID (a.k.a. Milestone, 2009) and the DROID 2 (2010) were both well-spec'd Android QWERTY sliders when introduced, so we wouldn't expect anything less with the DROID 3. It outshines its predecessor with a larger and higher resolution 4-inch qHD 960 x 540 touchscreen, doubles the internal storage to 16 GB and now includes a front facing camera for video calls.

Rescue a Sealyham Terrier
Sealyham Terrier
Pilot the Sealyham Terrier—"Pilot was born on June 17th 2011 at Goodspice Kennel by Margery Good and Sarah Hawks. Her father is the infamous Charmin, 2009 Crufts Best in Show. She and I became best friends when she turned 9 months. We live in New York City's beautiful Upper West Side. Pilot's show career was brief but uniquely fast-tracked: within a few weeks, she won several national champions and returned home to me with flying colors. She carries gentle disposition and precious sense of humor. Her favorite trick is finding the busiest street corner and "sit pretty" minutes at a time, enjoying passerby's feedback: "Oh My God, this dog is sitting like a human being! This is SO adorable!! Can I take a picture?" Pilot is trained to fetch and floor mopping, among 12 other comments she performs at about 90% accuracy. Her favorite snack is raw/frozen chicken feet. She'll do anything to hear the freezer door open."

"Rosie (Champion Thunder Road's Dancer's Image) at 1 1/2 years old, when she got her very first point when handled by me and only got better from there! She finished her championship within two months of being out. Rosie is loving, sweet, cuddly, playful and independent all in one. She likes walks, playing with her "cousins" (an Airedale, two Lakeland Terriers, a rather large calico cat, and several Sealyhams), playing with her friends (a German Shorthaired Pointer, a black Lab, a Lab mix, a yellow Lab, a Dachshund and a Beagle), dog shows and seeing her handler friends, playing in the snow, going to see her real doggie daddy and mommy, seeing her breeder, seeing her groomer, cookies, carrots, playing tugger and fetch. I think Rosie is very balanced. She is friendly and socialized and sweet. She can be trusted off the leash and is friendly with all other animals. She has never been aggressive and if she gets out of control we have used many of Cesar Millan's techniques. We watch him all the time!"
"This is Jonah in the snow, holding one of his favorite toys, a tennis ball."
Jonah the Sealyham Terrier
"This was his best trick. He could sit like this for 10 minutes or more, because food is a Sealy's number one master! Jonah was a great pet. He was incredibly loyal, a good watchdog, and very gentle, with kids, the cat, and even the guinea pigs. He got lots of attention everywhere we went."

The real bottom line in divorce.
Some lawyers use accountants to kill a deal by exposing the actual value of a financial settlement offer. Other lawyers use accountants for the opposite effect. I have conferred with accountants on many cases, and I don't think we work together effectively until it's too late. As a result, I think we misuse each other.
Accountants often enter the proceedings to interpret offers and separate the bargain from the sting. In settling divorce cases, accountants are important not only to appraise the estate but also to evaluate a settlement. The equity of a settlement offer is often in the eye of the beholder.
Let's start with a balance sheet which Husband presents to Wife as "Offer I" (See Exhibit 1). You can tell he's no accountant -- there are no footnotes or disclaimers and all of their assets are in even numbers and on one piece of paper. Even if incorrect, having a rough draft puts us miles ahead. You need to list all the assets and liabilities before you can negotiate.
This offer makes him look great. With $200,000 in net worth and $100,000 of debt, Husband takes $100,000in assets, $100,000 of debts and gives Wife $100,000 worth, or what appears to be 100% of the assets. She takes the offer to her lawyer and he suggests consulting an accountant. But why does he do that? Let's discuss it.
Roughly half of all marriages in this country end in divorce. More people are in the judicial system for divorce and family law litigation than any other area of the law. Now connect at dollar sign with it.
Marital estates are divided. Real estate and personal effects are sold. Retirements split. And consider the money supposedly changing hands for alimony and child support. Add court costs, attorneys counselors, and accounting fees. The financial implications of divorce cry out for expertise in assessing numbers. And attorneys need accountants to be optimally effective.
Let's look at the assets in this divorce settlement. This alone will demonstrate the illusive nature of "value" on a balance sheet. Remember, we are talking exclusively about property acquired during the marriage, not what the couple brought into the marriage.
Cash CAsh is obvious. You know who wants it and what it's worth. There is a catchall in most discovery which says "name any other assets that are not included in the above." Here, Husband says he needs all the cash to keep the business afloat. Without the business, he can't pay alimony.
Bonds/Stocks "Worth" in this context is what a willing buyer and willing seller take for the stock at this time. You can't split stocks until you know whether you can sell them. Is there a market? Are they restricted? What about fees, penalties, capital gains, and cost of sale? What is the real cost to the party receiving and what is the selling party actually forfeiting? Let's say [TABULAR TABLE OMMITTED] these stocks are worth $20,000. Husband keeps them all.
Personal Effects Personal effects are jewelry, clothing and collectibles. This isn't usually a major area of dispute. However, you can hide a lot of value in personal effects, especially in jewelry and collectibles, as often only the collector knoes the real value. In this case, Husband estimated their holdings at $20,000. He says his share is worth $5,000 and gives her $15,000 worth.
Household goods This includes furniture and fixtures, and values can be all over the ballpark. Some people have $3,000 worth of early mother-in-law others may have a $70,000 home and $50,000 of furniture just in the hallway. Household goods are evaluated at market value based on what a reasonable person would pay for them, not the replacement value. Again, Husband estimates their total value at $20,000 and gives wife $15,000 worth while he takes $5,000.
Real Estate Here we are talking about the assets as they sit, not as reduced to an amount in your bank account. As you well know, the dollar signs in the value column don't necessarily represent what the property is worth. They represent what someone says is it is worth. Many clients do not understand this.
1. Residence -- This is usually the couple's largest asset. It clouds the process and generates the most fights. Before an attorney wages war to get the house for his client, he should be sure his client really wants and can realistically keep it. If the client gets the house but can't make payments or afford maintenance and repairs, she won't have it. In this case, the house has a mortgage of $120,000 that is payable at $800 a month and a paper equity of $20,000. Husband gives Wife the house, but with repairs, financing and cost of sale, the equity is eaten away and Wife has $0.
2. Apartments -- This couple has apartments worth $200,000. That is the appraisal. Market-analysis and a mortgage payable at $1,000 a month says they're worth $180,000. Hence, they have a net equity of $20,000. As with the house, Wife gets the apartments but cannot afford them. She loses the apartments and their equity.
3. Land -- Many balance sheets keep the real estate at purchase price. From my experience one of two things befall real estate: it's drastically undervalued from just sitting, or it has been built up to serve as collateral and is terribly overvalued. In this case, Husband keeps the land and retains his $20,000 equity.
Vehicles Husband has a new model, $30,000 car, 100% financed, no equity. Wife drives a 1973 Volkswagen which she owns. On paper, it's even. Economists can show that Husband has more value than Wife. How they perform that procedure, I'm not sure. Husband and Wife keep their own cars.
Business Assets What is a business worth? Some are easily evaluated and others aren't. One difficulty is that many business owners don't want to know. Some people prepay expenses, insurance or inventory. And it takes four or five years of balance sheets for that to show up. Depending on the type of business, you could hide a lot of money.
In this case, Husband keeps the business.
Accounts Receivable This couple's accounts receivable are personal family loans. Husband says, "I'm glad we loaned your brother that money. And you can keep it when he repays you." Wife is now out $20,000 of Wife's assets.
But Husband also says, "We can't stiff Mom. She needs the money, so I'll repay her." Husband is now out $20,000 worth of debt. Everybody knows neither of these loans will be repaid.
Retirement We have a statement from a company and they have an IRA account there. I can read it; and everybody reads it. So we list it as an asset. Husband keeps his retirement.
But what about the liabilities? Husband says he owes $20,000 for last year's taxes. No, actually, he's getting $10,000 back. And he owes nothing for 1991. He kept an extra $10,000 in cash to run the business. The debt with Mother-in-Law cancels out. And their net liability to the bank and the credit card companies is only $10,000 since he kept the $10,000 tax refund. Since Husband's $100,000 in assets was actually worth $100,000, he absorbs the $10,000 debt.
When she tries to sell them, Wife's personal effects are worth $1,000 rather than $15,000. Her part of the household goods is worth $4,000. The loan to her brother won't be repaid, and she lost her equity in the house as well as the apartments.
Offer 1, which at first blush looked like a great deal, gives Wife $5,000 in assets and Husband $92,000. You may even things out somewhat by keeping alimony open as an option. But you won't find a judge doing that.
Hammering out the details of such a settlement is, I am sure, a frustrating process for the client. But it is important to ensure that people going through divorce have a realistic understanding of their arrangement. And a settlement is just that, an arrangement -- a compromise. No one ever gets everything he or she wants, and the entire process is thoroughly distasteful to most. But I would rather have a frustrated client who understands the settlement agreement than one who cashes out later for a fraction of the perceived package.

For the first quarter of 2009 PharmAthene's net loss attributable to common shareholders was $6.0 million or $0.23 per share, compared to $4.7 million or $0.22 per share in the same period of 2008.
PharmAthene's available cash, cash equivalents and short term investments at March 31, 2009 totaled $24.0 million, which excludes restricted cash totaling $9.0 million. For the period ended December 31, 2008, the Company's available cash, cash equivalents and short term investments were $22.9 million, excluding restricted cash of $12.0 million. The increase in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at March 31, 2009 from December 31, 2008 is primarily attributable to the receipt of approximately $5.0 million in net proceeds from the public offering of common stock and warrants completed in March 2009, partially offset by funding of operations and the repayment of debt.
David P. Wright, President and Chief Executive Officer of PharmAthene, noted, "The first quarter of 2009 was a productive one for PharmAthene. In addition, we have recently met with senior officials at the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) to discuss the pending FDA submission of our comprehensive regulatory strategy for SparVax(TM) under the recently amended RFP. We submitted a copy of the plan to BARDA last week for review. BARDA officials indicated a willingness to review our proposal when received and we remain on target to meet our stated goal of submitting our plan to FDA by May 21, 2009."
Mr. Wright continued, "BARDA has recently assumed responsibility for funding and oversight of activities under our previous contract for the development of SparVax(TM) with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). The scope of work under the BARDA contract, which took effect April 1, 2009, will cover

From 1852 until 1892 the area was known as "Blue Pond". When a railroad came through Interlachen in the 1870s, the area opened up to settlers. The town developed economically as a winter vacation spot and citrus growing area. The town of Interlachen was incorporated in 1888. The Hastings Seed House was organized in 1889, moving to Atlanta, Ga. ten years later. In 1891, the Interlachen Town Hall burned down. Another was built to replace it the following year and it still stands - now housing a museum. When the "Big Freeze" hit in 1895, the town's tourism and citrus sharply declined. In 1895, Interlachen Academy was built; it is the oldest wooden school house in continuous use in Florida - now serving as the location of the Interlachen High School's JROTC program. In 1926,Interlachen first gained electricity and Route 14, now State Road 20,was constructed through Interlachen. In the 1930s a train came through the town every two hours. But in 1969, with the decline of railroads, the Interlachen Railroad depot was razed. Currently, a caboose sits in the middle of the town as a reminder of the tourist haven the town once was.

Results of p90RSK gene silencing in cancer cell lines and various Raf/Ras/ERK pathway activation in human breast cancer. p90RSK inhibition was done in MCF7 and ZR-75-1 cells by using siRNA against p90RSK. Student t-test showed no significant difference in cell proliferation in cells treated with siRNA against p90RSK and cells treated with scramble siRNA (a). The expression levels of total and phosphorylated various Raf/Ras/ERK pathway molecules were measured in primary breast cancer tissues from 20 breast cancer patients.

This was originally the home of WS Gilbert of Gilbert and Sullivan fame. Set in lovely surroundings in North Harrow, away from the noise and bustle of London, but near enough to commute in. Bedroom accommodation had recently been refurbished to a very high standard and had some new high tech touches as part of the improvements. Dinner was first class but the continental breakfast was somewhat lacking with no muesli or fruit compote to go with the excellent greek yoghurt. Great value for money so given a rating of 5 less
Great hotel, fabulous staff and lovely food. A lovely room with its own small garden area. You could park near your room as well rather than in a remote car park.Beautiful location. Very peaceful and excellent service from all the staff. Internet connection was good as well. No noise either so very peaceful less
Just returned from advertised family fun day that I have attended for the last 6 years. It was cancelled. I found out by asking the receptionist on arrival.
No cancellation notice posted on the website or notice at the hotel. Apparently a better booking came up for the hotel so the general manager decided to cancel at last minute. Shame on you. I rang to Check on Friday 22 May to check it was still going ahead and was told it was. So the receptionist were not briefed...the manager must of cancelled the jazz band & stalls a long time ago so why was the public that support your hotel not informed? Disgusting way to run a business. less
We had our wedding at the Grimms Dyke in May. We really couldn't have chosen a more ideal venue. Beautiful surroundings and everything catered for without a glitch right through from the night before through to checking out the morning after the wedding.
Everything was spot on. The communication and organisation prior to the date and the delivery on the day was excellent. We opted for the the Crystal package which was ideal for us although we had plenty of flexibility to adjust it as required. All the staff were amazing and the rooms clean and comfortable. The food was great and the hotel were very happy to provide for gluten/soya/dairy free etc. All the guests complimented us on such a great choice of venue. Thanks to everyone there for a great day. We'll be back to the Gilbert restaurant for evenings out so see you again soon.

This hotel was excellent in every aspect, the room was amazing and clean, the staff were great and the hotel really is something quite special to look at. However, if you are looking for a good nights sleep look somewhere else!
Our room was based in the newer buildings away from the manor house. There was a large group underneath our room making a lot of noise up until about 11pm. They were also outside our window smoking. After 11pm they settled down so, I thought great now I can get some sleep. All night I kept getting waken up with a huge bang and all the room shook. It was people coming in and out of the halls. I had the most important interview of my life the day after and I was shattered. less

Ignacio 'Iggy' Arroyo laid to rest, finally
More News from Jeannette I. Andrade
MANILA, Philippines—Negros Occidental Rep. Ignacio "Iggy" Arroyo was finally laid to rest on Friday afternoon in the family mausoleum at the Manila North Cemetery.
The interment on Friday at the Tuason-Arroyo mausoleum at the corner of Main Avenue and 29th Street of the Manila North Cemetery saw the two women in Arroyo's life: estranged wife Aleli Arroyo and his longtime partner Grace Ibuna, observing the solemn rites several seats apart.
Both women were seated on the front row, where the white folding chairs were arranged so that they were separated by an aisle. Aleli sat two seats away from Iggy's brother, Jose Miguel "Mike" Arroyo.
While Aleli grieved quietly, a very emotional Ibuna openly wept and even hugged and kissed Iggy in his open coffin as she lovingly cradled his head when it was time for family members to say goodbye.
As the Philippine flag was taken from the coffin, with everyone standing for the honors, the folded flag was handed over to Aleli who in turn passed it on to her daughter Bianca. The flag was already with Bianca when Ibuna approached her to hold the cloth.
As the last shot was fired from the traditional gun salute, Ibuna fell back to her seat her knees seemingly giving in under her.
At around 1:40 p.m., the late Negros Occidental 5th district representative's remains were placed inside the grave across his mother Ma. Lourdes Arroyo's burial site and beside one of his ancestors Pilar Tuason.
A staff of the Arroyos told the Inquirer that the original plan was to bury Iggy beside his mother but for some reason they were told to inter the body on the grave across hers instead.
Butterflies were freed after the interment as a symbol of freedom and the beginning of a new journey.

A Glenville family with a military tradition that spans generations was reminded of a tragedy, and also their family pride, when Glenville town historian, Joan Szablewski, recently came across some obituaries in old editions of the Scotia-Glenville Journal.
She noticed an obituary for a young man who was killed in the Vietnam War in 1968, who might have been the brother of Roberta Porter of Delmar, who works at a diner in Glenville that Szablewski and her husband frequent for breakfast.
Szablewski told Porter about the obituary for David Vollmer.
We mentioned it to her, and she said that was her brother. Then she said there was another article that I apparently missed so I went back and looked for it," said Szablewski.
That's when she noticed a letter that was published in the Scotia-Glenville Journal that dated back to Nov. 28, 1968. It was from Vollmer, who was killed in action on Nov. 17, 1968, at 21 years old. He wrote the letter to tell everyone in town about things in Vietnam, but by the time the letter had arrived " 11 days after it was written " Vollmer had been killed in action.
When Szablewski approached Porter with the news, Porter was reminded of her family's military tradition, which continues today.
"Three of my brothers were in the U.S. Marine Corps and David was the only one who served in Vietnam," said Porter.
"After David was killed my other two brothers were exempt," said Porter.
Porter said that her father was extremely proud of being in the military " he was in the Navy and served during WWII and then enlisted in the Navy Reserves and served from 1958 to 1968. Three out of his four sons " with the exclusion of his youngest son, Timothy " were Marines.

Home › Forums › Governmental Forums › Campaigns › WINTER '08 – Trillspots for Minister of Discussion
This topic contains 7 replies, has 1 voice, and was last updated by Daragh 7 years, 3 months ago.
December 16, 2007 at 6:25 am #353655
I (rather hesitantly) present to you my platform for Minister of Discussion. I've been nominated by a third party, and decided to make it known that personally, I am supporting Night Owl for MoD.
I do not believe that I am the best person for this job, but have decided rather than declining nomination, to let the votes reflect that opinion. There are several reasons for this, the main reason being to display how smart you (the voters) are.
So many of you are very critical and discouraging to the candidates whose ideas are vague. But honestly, do you distrust your other members to the extent that you believe they would help in voting in someone unfit for a ministry?
With that said, I will go ahead and answer the required candidate questions and let you guys decide if I'm really up to the job.
What experience do I have relating to the Minister of Discussion position?
I have adequate leadership skills, mostly fostered by heading group projects, being a moderator here, and watching my five siblings during most week-days. I have also mentored young and pre-teens, who've been through parental divorce/alcoholism.
Having experience with many age ranges of kids, I've been very concerned lately about the content on the forums. A few years ago I would've considered it a completely safe environment for a 10-12 year old. Now however, I could not be coaxed to allow my 11 year old brother on the forums. I have a fairly reasonable idea of what an appropriate level of content is, to maintain the forums family-friendly reputation. But I have no plan of how to implement that.
How much time would I be able to spend performing my duties as Minister of Discussion?
At the moment, I'm in my first year of online college courses, so while I'm flexible — time is still usually tight. I've also applied for several jobs lately, and watch my siblings a great deal of the time. The time I'd be able to spend on the forums is minimal. 2-3 hours a week at most is all I could guarantee (despite the fact that I do check the forums a few times a day right now).
What are my ideas to expand or improve the Ministry?
I really have no ideas to expand or improve this Ministry as of yet, because I hadn't even considered running for it before I was nominated last week.
I know several people have mentioned appointing new moderators, which seems like a good plan — but I'd like to suggest that maybe we have some sort of screening process?
It seems a bit unfair for the Minster of Discussion to be able to appoint whoever his/her best friends are to moderator positions.
Like I said, no real plan…just vague ideas and concerns floating around my brain.
What unique character qualities would I be able to contribute to the Ministry?
I really don't know that I have any qualities that would make me exceptional at this position. I can be aggressive/authoritative, and have experience enforcing rules and fostering communication. However I can't say that those are qualities my opponents don't have.
With that said, you know where I'm coming from. Take it for what it's worth – and be sure to read over my opponents campaign threads.
Thanks, and enjoy the elections!

Osama bin Laden's son-in-law pleaded not guilty to terrorism charges in a New York court on Friday, becoming the closest member of the dead terrorist's family to face the US justice system.
Sulaiman Abu Ghaith allegedly acted as the chief spokesman for al-Qaeda at the time of the September 11 attacks. He appeared alongside bin Laden the morning after the outrage to warn America that "a great army is gathering against you".
The 47 year-old was reportedly captured several weeks ago in Turkey before being deported to Jordan, where he was handed over to the FBI and secretly taken to America.
Yesterday, a balding and bearded Ghaith wore a blue prison uniform as he appeared in a Manhattan court just blocks away from the site of the World Trade Centre. He denied taking part in a conspiracy to kill Americans.
Security was visibly heavy, with a beefed-up presence of marshals and a bomb-sniffing dog in and around the courtroom.
Prosecutors disclosed that he had made an "extensive" 22-page statement after his capture, raising the possibility that he may cooperate with the US hunt for al-Qaeda's remaining leaders. Ghaith is alleged to have been a member of bin Laden's inner circle and to have strengthened his relationship with the terrorist leader by marrying his daughter, Fatima.
In the weeks after the September 11 attacks, he released a series of statements taunting the US and calling for jihad against the West.
"The Americans should know that the storm of plane attacks will not abate," he said. "There are thousands of the Islamic nation's youths who are eager to die just as the Americans are eager to live."
Ghaith was smuggled out of Afghanistan following the American-led invasion in 2001.
He is believed to have spent much of the past decade in captivity in Iran.
He and members of his family were reportedly held hostage by Tehran's Shia leaders to ensure that the Sunni-led al-Qaeda did not carry out attacks in Iran. Ghaith's trial in a civilian court, due to start on April 8, is unusual in an era when terrorism suspects are more commonly killed by drone strikes.
It also represents a victory for the White House, whose efforts to try terror suspects in federal courts have been continually hampered by Republicans in Congress, who insist that they should face military trials at Guantanamo Bay.

A lot of you probably wonder where the hell our mobile apps are. I do. Quick answer: They're trapped under a bigger project. It's worth the wait, but we're far overdue on release.

SEATTLE -- There are christmas displays and there are christmas displays. And then there's Seattle's Candy Cane Lane. It's like the North Pole south -- almost every house on the block has been covered in lights every year since Saint Nick was a kid.
Candy Cane Lane resident Vincent Miller says, Candy Cane Lane has been a Seattle tradition since 1949.
Back then, one of the residents put up a candy cane on his door. Others followed, and the tradition was born. This year's centerpiece is a carousel -- but when it rains, the trains don't always run on time. That's when the neighborhood pulls together.
It takes a lot of people to make the circle go 'round, notes one resident
Young Jack Bylund, anotherresident says, I mean it's fun, but mainly you just come out here and eat the donuts when everybody else sets it up.
And when you set it up, they will come. Candy Cane Lane draws visitors by the carload, sometimes the busload.
Allison Rowe drove through Candy Cane Lane visitor with her children. She says, These kids really like to check out baby jesus. That's the best part. They've threatened to steal him but we've prevented them so far.
If you move to Candy Cane Lane -- which is known officially as Park Road Northeast -- there's no neighborhood covenant requiring you to put up christmas lights. But it does help if you're willing to get into the holiday and community spirit.
Vincent miller is a 16-year Candy Cane Lane resident. He says, It's a tradition, not a requirement if you live here. But if you move here, you know what you're getting into.
And it's something thousands of seattle residents get into every year during the holiday season.

The game was originally released in Asia as "Point Blank," but is available through SG Interactive as Piercing Blow. The game can be played in both North America, Europe, and most other regions in the world. In its core, Piercing Blow plays a lot like many of the other tactical MMO shooters currently available. Anyone who has played games like Combat Arms or Cross Fire should be able to familiarize themselves with Piercing Blow quite easily. Some of the game modes in Piercing Blow include:
Deathmatch – Even though this game mode is called deathmatch, it's actually a team deathmatch. Two teams fight against each other, and whichever team reaches the a predetermined amount of kills first or has the most kills when time runs out wins. Players will respawn if they die.
Demolition – The standard Counter-Strike style plant the bomb, defuse the bomb game with two teams. One team must plant C4 at the designated bomb site or wipe the other team one, while the other team must prevent the C4 from going off or simply wiping out the opposing team. Upon dying, players will not respawn until the beginning of the next round.
Sabotage – Each team must destroy the opposing team's objective to win while defending their own objective. Players will respawn if they die.
Search & Destroy – Whichever team eliminates the opposing team wins. Upon dying, players will not respawn until the beginning of the next round.
AI Challenge – Challenge Mode allows you to test your skills against AI opponents on a difficulty scale of 1-10 and give you the opportunity to use many weapons as you hone your skills

Thin buffer
Thousands of dirt-poor coconut farmers went to their graves before the Supreme Court unanimously ruled Tuesday: Stocks that tycoon Eduardo "Danding" Cojuangco Jr. claims as "commission," in the coconut levy scam, belong to the government. They're for farmers from whom they were extorted.
The ruling zeroes in on stocks that Cojuangco would pocket after he negotiated the purchase of First United Bank by the Philippine Coconut Authority. FUB's shingle was later repainted United Coconut Planters Bank. It monopolized the deposit of levy funds through Ferdinand Marcos' Presidential Decree No. 276.
That decreed "coco levies" were owned by cronies "in their private capacities." Taxes became individual loot, by the stroke of a dictator's pen. If PD 276 is not scrubbed as unconstitutional, "Marcos found a legal and valid way to steal," wrote then Inquirer columnist Antonio Carpio. As a Supreme Court justice today, Carpio finds himself vindicated, albeit fragment by troubled fragment.
The Supreme Court led by Chief Justice Ma. Lourdes Sereno ruled that Cojuangco had received public assets in UCPB shares. They were valued P10.8 million in 1975, paid by coco levy funds. Cojuangco admitted that PCA picked up the tab for the 72-percent option shares. The Court affirmed the Sandiganbayan order to nullify transfer to Cojuangco, saying he "cannot stand to benefit by receiving, in his private capacity, 7.2 percent of FUB shares." That'd violate "the constitutional caveat that public funds can only be used for public purpose," the Court added. Basta. No further reconsideration. That's final.
"We are not final because we are infallible," US Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson once wrote. "But [we are] infallible only because we are final." But that is what the Supreme Court led by Chief Justice Renato Corona repeatedly ignored in the coconut levy case. It flip-flopped four times on the case after the initial "final" ruling.
* * *
The government plans to sell the P14.4-billion sequestered shares in UCPB, says Philippine Deposit Insurance Corp. president Valentin Araneta. Proceeds will go to a trust fund that the government will put up for coconut farmers. After the Marcos regime fleeced UCPB, the government had to rescue it with a P20-billion loan that still has to run until 2018.
In August 1998, Ricardo Cardinal Vidal presented to President Joseph Estrada a Bishops-Businessmen's Conference memo. "Abuse of state power" wrung those monies from small, impoverished coconut farmers, it said. They should be returned.
Erap made noises about helping. But just before People Power booted him out in 2001, he signed Executive Orders 313 and 315. "Erap delivered the levy—estimated at over P100 billion then—to cronies," the Sun Star noted. "It was grand larceny that needed ever-larger doses of hypocrisy."
Flash back to the brutal November 2003 teetering-on-the-edge constitutional crisis. The Supreme Court led by Chief Justice Hilario Davide had earlier ruled that the coconut levy funds were public funds. A furious Cojuangco unleashed a "Brat Pack" of Nationalist People's Coalition congressmen to impeach Davide.
Davide defied gangland culture "so often he became a big threat," the Inquirer's Randy David observed. "Now, Davide is being taught a lesson, by the heirs of those who always imagined themselves to be the real lords in this little corner of the world—the Brat Pack."
"Is this a coalition of cretins?" snapped then Rep. Teodoro Locsin Jr. They had initiated an impeachment move on the unimpeachable ground of failure to give cost-of-living allowance. "The conundrum of the House is: how to climb out of the sh-thole in which a third of its members descended with such stealth…" The House rejected the bid.
Shares owned by 14 companies bought with the levy are "owned by the government," Justice Teresita Leonardo de Castro and the Sandiganbayan ruled in May 2004. "[They are] held in trust for all coconut farmers."
Indeed, "coconut levy funds are prima facie public funds," the Supreme Court unequivocally stated for the first time in "Republic v. Cocofed." Penned by then Chief Justice Artemio Panganiban, the decision allowed sequestered shares to be voted by the Presidential Commission on Good Government, "pending the final determination of who were their legal owners." Thus, Cojuangco surrendered control of a fleeced UCPB to the government.
Sure, the coconut levy funds were dipped into for the purchase of San Miguel Corp. shares, said the Corona Supreme Court. Nonetheless, Cojuangco "legally acquired the 20 percent block." He pocketed 16.2 million SMC shares, jacking up his stake in the corporation to P37 billion.
That's "the joke of the century," snapped then Justice Conchita Carpio Morales. Cojuangco "used for his personal benefit the very same funds entrusted to him," Morales' dissenting opinion states. "[These] were released to him through illegal and improper machination of loan transactions. [His] contravention of corporation laws … indicates a clear violation of fiduciary duty…"
Then Associate Justice Sereno agreed. Her scathing dissent said: Cojuangco's stake in SMC was "built on the sweat of coconut farmers…" By a scheme of "corporate layering and multilevel loan transactions," he diverted public funds. Chief Justice Corona, meanwhile, had been impeached.
"Men of good will are often all that is between us and the devil," a proverb says. Indeed, reforms by President Aquino and a renewed Supreme Court would reduce the number of premature graves for robbed coconut farmers.
They should. Levy-impoverished farmers "are not a race of other creatures bound on other journeys," to crib a line from Charles Dickens. "They are our fellow travelers to the grave."

My 6 year old and two year old grandsons loved it! It's all interactive play: vet clinic, ambulance, television station, restaurant, grocery store, ect.
Perfect place for grandparents and grandchildren to spend the day. Since it was right before Christmas, the Santa Workshop was set up and included dress up clothes for the children to wear. Loved being able to stand instead the bubble.
This place is great fun for kids. I recommend you stay the whole day. You can get your hand stamped, walk to Subway for lunch, and get back in after lunch. They have clean restrooms and baby changing table.
There are things to do for kids of all ages, from toddlers to maybe 11 or 12 year olds. There is...
It was just ok. Kids were bored about 20 minutes into the visit. They had fun "grocery shopping" at the mock store setup.
We had been here a few times. Last time I went, our younger kid still really enjoyed it. The older one seemed a bit bored. I think the age cutoff is about 10. Worth going and fun for the kids, but make sure they are still young enough
The kids with us loved the place and we stayed much longer than I would have thought from first impressions.
Overall, the exhibits are a little tired. And oddly, I don't get a particularly cheerful vibe from any of the staff.
But again, the kids loved it. The restaurant, the grocery store, the news room, the ambulance, the bubble center,...
We were traveling with a 2 year old and a baby. We stopped here for about 45 minutes. It was a good place to stretch our legs. We had to carry out our 2 year old crying because she wanted to stay. I only gave 4 stars for a variety of adult reasons. She would have given it 5 stars...
My kids who are 4 and 2 loved it
Everything and I do mean everything is hands on. From taking care of pets in the animal hospital to giant bubbles to grocery shopping in the Winn Dixie market. Parents be prepared to participate in the activities with your child. My only thing I wondered about was how often are the...
small museum, has centers for kids to play in, i.e., vet office, shopping store, ambulance they can crawl in, bubble center. It didn't seem to have anything new since last year...if you need somewhere to go with the 6 and under group, it works.
This is a nice children's museum with lots of interactive exhibits. There is a vet office, bank, circus, ambulance, grocery store, restaurant, bubble station, dentist office, news station and a few others. Great place to take kids.

Documentary about Nas debut rap album to open Tribeca Film Fest

NEW YORK (REUTERS) - Time Is Illmatic, a documentary about American rapper Nas and the making of his 1994 acclaimed debut album Illmatic, will kick off the 13th Tribeca Film Festival in New York on April 16, organisers said on Wednesday.
Following the world premiere of the film that chronicles the rise of the New York-born artist, Nas will appear at the festival in a special performance of the album, considered to be one of the greatest rap records ever made.
"Like the festival itself, Time Is Illmatic and the groundbreaking body of work it recognises has roots grounded in New York City, but represents and reaches communities far beyond," Jane Rosenthal, the CEO and co-founder of the festival, said in a statement.
Nas, the son of jazz musician Olu Dara, has released nine solo albums and three compilations, selling more than 20 million records worldwide.

It's fun, but it's hard. I think that we should have health. It's too easy to die. I like this game.
Yes it's pretty hard at first, but it's possible to become real good at it, see the replays on the game website or in the game (connect->replays).
Since then around 20 versions have been made, but I'm afraid you are still killed by one shot, and by hitting the wall.

I need create a query to find the names of drivers whose exam scores get lower when they take more exams. So I have the following tables:
branch(branch_id, branch_name, branch_addr, branch_city, branch_phone);
driver(driver_ssn, driver_name, driver_addr, driver_city, driver_birthdate, driver_phone);
license(license_no, driver_ssn, license_type, license_class, license_expiry, issue_date, branch_id);
exam(driver_ssn, branch_id, exam_date, exam_type, exam_score);
**the exam_date is a date
So I am using the tables driver and exam. I would like to somehow check that the exam_date>anotherDate while at the same time checking that exam_score
This is what I came up with but I feel like some of the syntax is illegal. I keep getting a syntax error.
s.executeQuery("SELECT driver_name " +
"FROM driver " +
"WHERE driver.driver_ssn IN " +
"(SELECT e1.driver_ssn" +
"FROM exam e1" +
"WHERE e1.exam_score < " +
"(SELECT e2.exam_score FROM exam e2)" +
"AND e1.exam_date > " +
"(SELECT e2.exam_date FROM exam e2)");
EDIT! I got it working! Thanks for your input everyone!
SELECT driver.driver_name
FROM driver
WHERE driver.driver_ssn IN
(SELECT e1.driver_ssn
FROM exam e1, exam e2, driver d
WHERE e1.exam_score < e2.exam_score
AND e1.exam_date > e2.exam_date
AND e1.driver_ssn=e2.driver_ssn)
