Queerty is better as a member
So this is a 'high fashion' barbie doll.
The only reason it gets deemed 'drag queen barbie' is because the designer.
Um.. so now it's bad to let little girls play with dolls that have pretty dresses (that's exactly what they are saying on fox news forums).
How sad.
Have you forgotten the "don't use this slur" article you wrote? I mean, damn, right in the gut, thanks for that…

Published August 19, 1998
Six months after ESPN's "SportsCenter" ratings "plummeted," ESPN Exec Editor John Walsh said that the show "now has a larger audience than last year at this time," according to USA TODAY's Rudy Martzke. The show's 1.23 rating is up 7% from last year's 1.15, and "SportsCenter" ratings "have jumped" 29% from the 0.95 in '98's first quarter. CNN's "Sports Tonight" has remained at 0.3, while FSN's "Fox Sports News" shows at 10:00pm and 11:00pm earn a combined 0.9. Walsh said that the 6:30pm ET "SportsCenter" is "beating Fox Sports News by five to six times." Walsh: "What's real gratifying is that this tells us that Kenny Mayne and Dan Patrick (11pm anchors) have checked out well with the viewers. To say that Kenny and Danny's shows rate higher than Dan and Keith Olbermann is pretty impressive." Fox Sports Senior VP/Media Relations Vince Wladika noted that FSN's rating has increased 50% in a year from 0.6 to 0.9. Wladika: "ESPN should be out-rating us. They've been doing this for 19 years; us for two. We're concerned with growing our Fox Sports News. They have an unhealthy preoccupation with us. We are flattered they are devoting this much attention to us" (Rudy Martzke, USA TODAY, 8/19).

The Visual Evolution Of Final Fantasy – A Lecture By Art Director Yusuke NaoraBy Ishaan . March 24, 2015 . 12:33pm
A lecture on the visual evolution of the Final Fantasy games through the years.
A lecture on the visual evolution of the Final Fantasy games through the years.
All you need to do is throw Noctis in front of a car.
That's one way of saving some money.
Taking on the giant Behemoth might be tough for Noctis and his party in the upcoming demo, Final Fantasy XV: Episode Duscae, but what if you could summon Ramuh in the fight?
A ton of new footage from Final Fantasy XV: Episode Duscae.
Demo to have voiceover work in English and Japanese.
Square Enix shared more artwork from Final Fantasy XV. The game has a large city with tall buildings and busy streets.
Final Fantasy XV's world map will be about ten times the size of the "Duscae Region," and the demo will only contain a part of the region to boot.
First, the Final Fantasy XV: Episode Duscae demo included with first print copies of Final Fantasy Type-0 HD will be roughly 5 GB in size.
Unlike previous Final Fantasy titles, the experience you gain during battles in Final Fantasy XV won't be given to your characters right away. The points will store as you defeat monsters, and it will distribute once you get to camp.
Square Enix have shared the latest information on the Final Fantasy XV: Episode Duscae demo that will be bundled with Final Fantasy Type-0 HD
A new English trailer for Final Fantasy Type-0 HD shows off story scenes from the upcoming game.
This week's issue of Famitsu magazine shares some information on the Final Fantasy XV demo.
Square Enix plans on revealing more info about Final Fantasy XV: Episode Duscae, a demo bundled with Final Fantasy Type-0 HD. A livestream with director Hajime Tabata will show how the game plays and the systems in Final Fantasy XV.
Additionally, new trailer for Type-0 shows off a few new scenes from Final Fantasy XV -Episode Duscae-.

When Marvel sends Logan to meet his maker in September, it will do so in grand style — grand '90s style — with a "Weapon Etched Holo Foil" cover for each of the four issues in the Death of Wolverine miniseries. If nothing else, you have to give the publisher credit for "Weapon Etched." (Get it?)
"When Steve McNiven first turned in his cover to Death of Wolverine #1, we knew we had something special in our hands," Executive Editor Mike Marts said in a statement. "A cover for the ages. What better way to celebrate this special cover than by giving it the special treatment. Just the other day I saw the process involved in creating this amazing cover — it's really beautiful. It's a fantastic way to enhance and showcase this spectacular cover that Steve has drawn."

Meet the Chefs
Matt Sramek,
Chef de Cuisine
In elementary school, Matt Sramek was asked to ponder, "What do you want to do with your life?" For many of us, that answer doesn't come until years later. Having quickly fallen in love with experimenting in the kitchen and creating new dishes, Matt's dream was clear and the answer simple. Be a chef.
Sramek built up his culinary knowledge with weekly trips to the LA Produce Market and Santa Monica Farmers Market. Formal training included the California School of Culinary Arts, which led to positions at Hotel Bel Air, Bouchon Bistro in Beverly Hills and Amaya Restaurant at The Grand Del Mar.
An adrenaline rush pours through Chef Matt's veins each time he steps into the kitchen for a service with his fellow cooks. The desire to create a perfect meal keeps pushing him to improve his skills. Matt says, 'I'm looking forward to creating an immersive dining experience at AVANT.'
Margaret Nolan Carvallo,
Pastry Chef (Rancho Bernardo Inn)
Having come from a long line of sweet tooths, Margaret says in her large family, life thrived and revolved around the dining table. Her love for sweets was born during childhood, when tea parties and baking with Grandma were the norm. Today, after having trained at The California Culinary Academy in San Francisco, and working at The Lodge at Torrey Pines, The Ivy Hotel and Currant American Brasserie, this talented chef creates each dessert as though she were embarking on a fun new adventure.

Historical Traveler Reviews Maya Caribe Hotel Cancun
Wouldn't stay anywhere else!
We booked our spur of the moment 5 day vacation in Cancun only 1 day prior to leaving. The Maya Caribe was the only place on the internet where we could find a room, so we booked it. Once we got there they didn't have a room for us so they put us next door at Dos Playas which wasn't a problem at all, we still got the all inclusive drinks and food at Maya Caribe. The next day when we got back to the Maya Caribe it was awesome! Lots of great food and drinks as well as fun activities like volleyball and bingo. The only time we left the hotel is when they would take us out at night. When they did take us out- it was VIP style. No waiting in lines, our own table and waiter and unlimited drinks all night (Thanks Alexis). We had so much fun that we decided to stay an extra day. We'll be back soon...
Do not stay here !!! Travelcomm SUCKS
What a nightmare, this hotel is awful. DO NOT BELIEVE TRAVELCOMM'S FAXES. We have complainted to them with no repsonse. When we first booked the hotel, we did so from the pictures on the internet, well it was not of that hotel the first one's we saw. Now the pictures don't even show you the inside of the rooms. You can barely see the hotel in the background of the picture, and I don't have a clue where the other picture is taken of with the table and chairs in the court yard. The hotel is not painted that color at all. The grounds are nice, that is the only thing I can say positive about this hotel. The bathroom was awful, cracked tiles, mold on ceiling, tile was nasty and you had to let the water run for a good five minutes to get a luke warm shower, we never had a hot shower. My husband had to pull the garbage can out twice just to get it emptied. Dried up food on the counter, which was never cleaned. Our toilet backed up three times. The food was awful, we had to eat out, which we didn't plan on at all. Birds were flying in sitting on the food and leaving God only knows on the food. They claimed to have another nice dining room for nice dinners, but they were never open the week we were there, due to lack of staffing. The liquor was watered down to the point of not even worth drinking. My husband complained to the bartender and he was offended that my husband would accuse them of watering down the liquor, so my husband suggested he try a drink with him. He then admitted it was mostly water. We called first thing Monday morning to see if we could get another hotel and none were available in Cancun, so we were stuck. Large cracks under the door and sides of the door where the light from the hallway shined in our faces all night. The air conditioner sounded like a B52 was in our room. The pools were dirty and TravelComm has not responded to our e-mail at all. I will never use them again. They gave us a choice to stay at in the fax, then if you you choose one of the Avalon hotels, you have to pay more money, which we didn't know until they screwed up our booking, we assumed by the pictures that we saw of the hotel it was nice, so we stayed there but it wasn't of that hotel, trust me. The beach was filthy with drink cups, straws, bottle caps, food containers, etc. They don't even clean up their beach. We made the best of it, but it was pretty bad, all the people but one couple we met were really ticked off at TravelComm and the hotel, they too hated the place.
Do not stay here!!!!
My husband and I, and 2 other couples booked a vacation through Travelcomm (by the way dont ever use them). I don't know what rooms we got but they were nothing like everyone else has described here. It our anneversary and another one of the couples honeymoon. This was the worst place any of us have ever been. We ended up having to leave this resort and go to the Holiday Inn because they were the only place that had 3 rooms avail. on such short notice. The food was aweful--cut up hotdogs in cabbage is not very appetizing. That was not the worst part--we had a 4in gap under our outside door which is how I am assuming the 4 lizards got into out room. Don't get me wrong I love reptiles but I don't like sleeping with them. So we decided to switch and share a room with another couple who had 2 double beds. Sharing a room at this point was better than sleeping with lizards. By the way there bathroom window was held together with dried toilet paper. As we were sitting on the beds talking 2 very large cockroaches crawled from behind the bed. This is not exagerrated at all. I would not have spent another $800.00 for another resort if I could have tolerated this one as I could not get my money back even though we didn't stay one night there. Also the guy at the front desk was extremely RUDE. I would not recommend this place to Osama!
Not bad at all
My girlfried and I stayed at the Maya Caribe for 6 days. Starting off the staff there was great, they really took care of us. We had our problems especially the toilet which would clog up once in a while, (because of all that mexican food) but the front desk had a person there immediately. The food wasn't that great but we weren't expecting it to be.
The hotel has a really nice feel to it with the garden, the peacock and the beach front restaraunt. They only have one restaurant by the way we heard there was supposed to be another but when we visited it was never open. The bartenders are awesome they made anything we wanted and even made a number of shots that we had never had. They also were very friendly and helped us out when trying to find out the nightlife. All in all I would suggest visiting this hotel especially for the price. The hotel is not perfect but the staff makes it worth visiting.
Read this for a real review!
First of all its not a 3 star. At least inside the actual rooms themself. Our airconditioner didnt work and we had no hot water. So they switched rooms for us and with some self motivated work things were fine. I guess my girlfriend didnt like the shower but after a day or so she was fine. The beds were clean and the maids were on top of things. The staff was excellent. Everyone seemed to help and when I lost my wallet they did there best. With the exception of the day time front desk woman who was lazy and rude the staff was a 12 on a scale of 1-10. The buffets were a 7 and the sit down dinners were a 9. The outside garden and pools were really beautifull. That was the nicest things about the place. The beach was right there. It was a good location to walk to fat tuesdays 3 hotels down. There were jet ski and parasel rentals right there. "Though too expensive for the parasal-80 for 10min" At fat tuesdays they had a cruize to an island almost every day which had a great show and nice dinner. That was a blast. Over all i like the place and if i was just with the guys there would be NO problems. Oh yeah, the bar was great. Everything we drank was included. To save money from a big time resort with excellent service I would recomend it. Hope this helps!
Fantastic Time!
I and 3 other girlfriends spent 6 days, 4/28-5/3, 04 at the Maya Caribe. It was wonderful, especially the staff, Fabrecio, Augustine, Renado, Jose, and Paulina were absolutely wonderful. They made our trip most enjoyable. Thanks to them! It is a small, quaint hotel, which we enjoyed, we got to relax, do some heavy R & R, without it being overly crowded. Lovely rooms with balconies with ocean view. The ONLY reason I rated it a "4" was because the food could of been a little better, but for what we paid, it was very nice. We only had 2 of the 6 days that the food wasn't so good. So, you can't go with the expectation of having a "4-diamond" food experience. We didn't starve. If I had the opportunity to stay there again, all of us would, it was a great time, and again, the staff was just unbelievable and they work very hard to make sure your happy, they took care of everything we needed, which wasn't much. I would definitely go back to this property.
Loved the Maya Caribe
We had booked 2 WEEKS at the DOS PLAYAS as the price was VERY low and all we wanted was a pillow and calm beach..When we arrived at the desk,we were POLITELY informed they'd overbooked the rooms. JAIME the MGR informed us we would be put up at the MAYA CARIBE which was just up the street. What a great move ! !..The lush gardens,freshly painted CLEAN rooms,etc.. If DOS PLAYAS is a 2* (MGR JAIME'S SERVICE A 5)I would DEFINITELY give MAYA CARIBE A 4*+.. The key to our most ENJOYABLE staywas the staff...HECTOR (MGR) was very accomodating..whenever we had questions.We asked him to phone about the calmness at another beach(ours was rather wavy and breezy) Next we knew we had lunch,drinks etc. at LAS PERLAS.. Totally uncalled for but greatly appreciated ! ! !THAT IS EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE! A surprise visit from family a week later (THEY DIDN'T KNOW WE'D BEEN BUMPED) No problem, HECTOR AND JAIME made some calls and our family was able to join us for the rest of our stay..again uncalled for but greatly appreciated. From cooks, maids,waiters,bartenders to security and desk staff, I CANNOT SAY ENOUGH THANKS FOR MAKING OUR VACATION ONE WE WILL NEVER FORGET ! ! THERESA,DAVE,BARB,BARRY FROM CANADA
Minnesota checkin' in
We began at Imperial Las Perlas, but they had no rooms available so we were sent to Dos Playas! The ROACH MOTEL. There was a gaping hole in the ceiling in the bathroom and the door to the outside provided little if no security. We were next sent to Maya Caribe, what a relief. We stayed in a bungalo, it was nice (comparred to the dump we were originally given at Dos Playas) with a king size bed. The bathroom left a bit to be desired, but I guess you get what you pay for at 3 stars.
THe air conditioner broke down about the third night but they were right there to fix it. We had two bottles of water every morning along with wonderful maid service. The bar was hardly enticing with very little selection. If you like top shelf liqour, this bar is not a good place for you to drink. Only one beer, Dos Equis, was offered (we're Corona fans). The food was fairly decent, buffet style for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We met several other couples and enjoyed laying out by the COLD pools. The beautiful blue ocean was mearly footsteps away.
The staff was excellent, especially George the activities guide.
Overall, we had a good experience and would recommend it to others that don't mind average accomodations and amenities.
Not Dos Playas !!
We booked our short vacation 4 days before we were supposed to travel.
Where I come from (UK) you tend to get into a nice place for less money because the tour operator is just trying to fill rooms.
This couldn't be further from the truth where our trip was concerned.
We were actually booked into the Dos Playas formerly known as the Avalon Bay according to the company we booked with. Sadly that was not correctly represented because it's the Maya Caribe that was formerly the Avalon Bay (just ask a taxi driver in Cancun). I probbaly shouldn't review Dos Playas here, if you want to know what it's like you should probably contact me directly.
Anyway what's the Maya Caribe like?
It has 3 pools all of which are pleasant if a little chilly at times.
It has 2 restaurants though only one was open when we were there, this is because the hotel was bought around November 2003 time by it's new owners along with 3 other hotels (Las Perlas, Dos Playas and one other). So I think they are just ramping things back up again. The entertainment during the day was basic. The food selection was average (3 out of 5) and don't expect Grey Goose in your martini at the bar.
There is a bar area but it includes the restaurant so no real place to sit and chat with other guests and have a drink, everyone just tended to pull tables together though and create an atmosphere.
The rooms are nice and although a little basic, they were actually better than a couple of resorts I have stayed in, they include either a king with and ocean view or 2 doubles looking over the garden, the garden balcony gets the sun shine on an evening, whereas the ocean sees it early morning. They also have some bungalows in the gardens though I didn't see what they were like.
There were no activites for children when we were there, though my daughter was really made welcome by the other hotel guests and staff, towards the end of our stay other families started arriving.
The beach was quite nice and well policed by security which was necessary because there was a fair amount of traffic (on foot).
The staff were great and really made an effort to make you feel welcome and help out with anything they could.
The gardens are brilliant and rival some of the larger resorts I have seen.
The mix of people staying there included, people in from Spain both British and Spanish, Mexicans, Americans and Canadians.
My comments are based on what was offered when we stayed there, when they open the second restaurant (because it was being worked on) and ramp up some more food, activities and so on this could end up being a nice smaller/homely resort with easy access to downtown and a lot to offer someone who wants a quieter time but doesn't want to have to pay 1000's for it.
Cost? our misrepresented trip was 355 USD for 4 nights all inclusive (165 for my 5 year old) from Denver direct. The price posted in reception at Maya Caribe (Jan 25th '04) was $97.50 per person per night all inclusive (obviously no flight) so we did ok. I expect that price (nightly price) will go up as they get this place up to it's potential.
My 4 out of 5 is based on value rather than a plain comparison of facilities.
hope this helps.
Loved It!!!
We went to Maya Caribe and had a great time. there was a group of six of us and we could not have asked for a more personable, experienced, well attentive staff. The rooms were very well kept every day, water brought to the rooms on a daily basis along wit being available on the way to the rooms during much of the stay whenever you liked. There were air conditioners(they often broke but when asked to be fixed they were right there to do so), Televisions and phones in all the rooms. The bar staff was so friendly, especially Manuel, Mario and Juan. They were always of service and ended up our friends when we left. The concierges, Mayra and george were indespensible. They showed us around, set us up with whatever we needed and let us know how th really handle the CanCun life!!! Over all it was a great trip and if I returned I would definately go to The Maya Caribe!!!

Day 44
... and soon we grew to enjoy it. We chilled out in the room and we had such a good laugh. I don't think I've ever laughed so much in one week. The lads then got me to start pranking other rooms asking them would it be possible if I could either sleep in their closet or underneath the bed. As you'd expect the majority of the responses were along the lines of "**** off" and "Get a life freak" but one German lad thought it was ...

... it was weedy and smelly – so we stopped in to see a cenote instead. These are deep waterholes fed by fresh underwater springs but we lucked out again as it was already closed.
Next stop was Walmart at Playa del Carmen for supplies. Christopher snoozed in the bus while the other ten shopped! It was a typically huge Walmart (mix of supermarket, liquor store and department store), with Mexican influence overtaking the usual American. ...
The Real Travelling Is Now In Full Swing
... to get to Belize. We stayed in a hostel there for one night and I felt seriously ill. It was a weird little hostel with only one other person staying there. Luckily it was just for the one night and then we caught the water taxi over to Belize which was more like a speed boat. It took just over 2hours and then we arrived in rainy Caye Caulker. Walking around for ages trying to find somewhere to stay as we stupidly didn't make a reservation. But we are now officially in Belize!

We had only been dating for a few months at this point, and we had all gone to a bar in Laguna Beach to see an 80's cover band - Flashback Heart Attack - and Jon met Shareen at the bar that night. Over the years I have become close with them too, so I was very happy to be able to be here for their big day. So, back to today....

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

From working in a rickety town house in Venezia to a ridiculous Russian startup run by 20-year-old rich kids, to corporate Britannia in Oxford Circus. I'm forever spinning against the spectre of global competition. London is perpetually moving forward and banishes the vulnerable into exile. How can you compete against LA, Shanghai and New York? It's really fucking hard to achieve anything.
I have no sense of accomplishment living here. Dates, plays and interviews make my life vibrant and calamitous. I love walking home along the Strand like a shadowy figure from the 1930's. St's Paul's Cathedral is still my favourite London landmark after dark. Even now in my eighth year of asking. I collect glossy theatre programmes for £3.50 a piece and overload on books I never have time to read.
The lists I enthusiastically compile get ticked off and are repeated the following day. Still my confidence is fragile and I much, much prefer working at home. It astounds me at the age of thirty four that I'm so naive and dumbstruck by seemingly ordinary things.

• Interference Monitor from Neighboring channels.
• Discover devices in your network
• Home screen widgets
Did you know that the WiFi signal strength increases by a million times (60 dB) from low strength to full strength ? The 4 bar default Android WiFi icon is just not good enough to capture this dynamic range.
Did you also know that there are very few WiFi channels (3 to 4) available and the likelihood of a neighboring WiFi router interfering with your connection is very high?
Are you sure there are no strangers on your network ? Use device discovery to keep a customized inventory of your devices and come to know if any unauthorized connections are taking place.
Free Features:-
• Full screen graphical Signal Strength Meter
• WiFi Channel Neighborhood to check the interference in connection
• Discover devices on your network
• 1x1 and 2x2 Widgets with color schemes
• Detailed WiFi data
Pro Features(Inapp Purchase):-
• Ad Free
1. The Minimal and Graphic widgets have been designed with latest design guidelines and better battery management. The widget updates on tapping or on network connectivity change. These widgets are only available on Android Jellybean 4.1 and higher.
2. If the widget is not available in the list of widgets on first install open the list of widgets and change the orientation of the device. This will refresh the widgets list. Also do not move app to Sdcard.
3. Permissions - The app requires internet permissions for showing the Google ads.
4.The Pro and Free apps(with INAPP unlock) are seperate apps and billed seperately by Google. The Pro App has been unpublished. More on this is in the FAQs on my website.

Phone settings permission allows network reset on certain Android versions
Based on our community-generated data we are able to help keep you better connected by giving you a practical solution to the problems of slow mobile internet and dropped calls. Simply follow our signal compass to walk towards better phone signal or see our in-app coverage maps to work out which carrier is best for where you are, useful if you're thinking about changing. Our wifi maps help you find local public-access wireless networks (WAPs).
We use Google Maps in our apps, email us if you cannot access Google Maps, email us to request another map technology.
The Stats tab helps you to keep track of your usage, so there's no danger of you going over your plan limit on data, voice or text. (NB – this is why the app needs permission to access contacts and SMS, these are the permissions needed to count calls and texts, messages are never accessed or read!).
Maps not updated in real-time. Don't worry though, we log the information you share with us to improve our coverage maps and signal information. We're working hard to make sure the data you contribute to the project is available to everyone as quickly as possible.
- Not all towers and wireless routers are in our database - we're working on it!
- Verizon & Sprint (CDMA) users will see only one connected tower at a time
- Moving in the direction of your cell tower (the signal compass) will not always improve reception due to interference effects/local geography.
Advanced notes:
- For GSM, cell tower are identified via cell id and location area code (CID and LAC)
- For CDMA cell towers are identified via Network ID, Base sub-station ID and system ID (NID, BSSID and SID).

WiFi | Mobile Network Speed
Veloxity WiFi & Mobile Network Speed is your personal assistant for Network Quality and Data Utilization.
With Veloxity, you can:
- Measure App Speed in Real Time.
- Find the best Public WiFi connection.
- Clean your Home WiFi channel.
- Compare WiFi vs. Cellular Net App Speed. Choose the best network.
- Control your Data Expenses! Never exceed your data quota again.
First major feature of WiFi & Mobile Network Speed is to show your WiFi network quality, not only by signal strength but also by interference and by network load. You will be able to solve interference issues by switching to the best channel suggested. If you see INTERFERED in your Wi-Fi status, use one of the free channels we recommend, and you will have a much higher speed. If you see WiFi FAR notification, you will experience lower data speeds. So it is time to choose a closer spot to use your WiFi or get a repeater if you cannot change your router location.
Measure your Network Speed, in real time. This is our WiFi & Mobile Network Speed App's second major feature. The way we test your network speed is different than all speed test tools in the market. Actually we do not test it, we show the speed you really experience. Regular speed test tools downloads and uploads an anonymous file through their own server. So what they really measure is the performance of and the route to their server as well as your own WiFi or Cellular radio link. This type of test will not tell if your TV App or YouTube will show the same performance. What Veloxity measures instead is the Network Speed of each and every single App in your device. So you will see how YouTube, Facebook or your favorite Game performs in your network.
While we measure your Apps Speed and Clean your Network Quality, we did not forget about your quota. Clean links mean faster data speeds. Faster data speeds mean more data consumption. While most of WiFi subscriptions data quota are large enough, most of the Mobile subscriptions are still very limited. Exceeding your quota will result in high number in your monthly bill. Veloxity will keep a track of your total data usage per App, so that you can easily manage your quota, see which Apps you spend most of your money on.
We also prepared a small Game for you if you want to share your network experience with your friends.
Your network quality is a personal matter for us. Please enjoy our utility at no cost.

Connection Stabilizer Booster
If you are having trouble with your cellular data connection, this is the app for you.
Loaded with lots of powerful features, this app delivers a stable mobile internet connectivity.
★★★ Active Keep Alive ★★★
Does your wireless carrier disconnects your 2G, 3G or 4G data connection after a certain period of inactivity? Or is there no data transfer even when connection is live?
Active Keep Alive along with Reset on Failure keeps your connection alive in such cases and also helps in keeping the traffic flowing between your phone and your ISP's servers. It also optimizes TCP/IP parameters if required, to give you the best possible internet experience. The network assigns a higher priority to your device and this results in significant improvement in network performance, especially if resources on the network are under strain.
★★★ Active Reconnect ★★★
Does your device often lose data signal and is unable to reconnect even though network is available? Do you miss out important chats, IMs and emails until you turn data connection on and off, maybe multiple times to get reconnected? That is a known issue that affects many people. It can be caused by handset or carrier issues.
Active Reconnect automatically reconnects your 2G GPRS, 3G or 4G LTE internet connection as soon as it gets disconnected and thus keeps the data connection active at all times.
When activated, this feature actively monitors and immediately re-establishes dropped connections, using muscle if required. This is particularly useful if android's built in system fails to connect you to the network. The monitoring process does not cause any load on your device's resources as it is intelligently invoked only when required.
Reconnection needs root access (only) on Lollipop due to new access restrictions imposed by Google.
★★★ Force Connect ★★★
Uses tricks and tweaks to establish internet connection and attains connectivity even on congested networks.
✔ Highly customizable design.
✔ This app can fix 2G, 3G and 4G internet connection problems on T-Mobile, Verizon, Sprint, Telkomsel, Tata DoCoMo, BSNL 3G, Airtel, Vodafone, Reliance or any other troublesome carrier!
✔ This ad supported app is available completely free of charge unlike other ineffective low quality paid apps.
→ If you are experiencing difficulty in establishing connection to the internet over the mobile network, just press the Force Connect button on the dashboard to try forcing the connection for once.
→ If you are facing automatic disconnection problem then activate the Active Reconnect module. It will automatically detect connection drops and actively reconnect the connection, using force connect if required.
→ If your carrier disconnects you from the network following a particular period of inactivity, activate the Active Keep Alive module. You can adjust the ping interval from the Active Keep Alive settings to be just lower than your network's inactivity timeout period.
→ If you are facing any other problem with you connection, like no data being transmitted even when connected, you can just activate the Active Keep Alive with default settings. Its pinging action is known to work wonders and solve or reduce the intensity of many congestion related network issues. It can also detect and reset frozen connections.
☆ Please don't use play store's feedback system for support. In case of issues or for any question or suggestion please contact us directly via e-mail.
German Translation by Mokkami
→ When Active Reconnect is enabled, you cannot turn off the mobile data connection directly from your device.
To disconnect, press the data setting ON OFF button on the app's dashboard or deactivate Active Reconnect before turning off mobile data from android settings.
Best WIFI
'Best WiFi' is a lightweight application that automatically switches between saved APNs based on their signal strengths. So if while you are pacing in the office or walking around at home, and the signal strength drops below the pre-set level, 'Best WiFi' will go through your saved APNs and automatically connect to the one with the best signal at the time.
If you have any problems please don't hesitate to email me. My contact details are at the bottom.
WiFi Scanner
The WiFi signal is displayed in dBm format!
It supports connecting to secured networks.
It can sort the networks by:
Wi-Fi Analytics Tool
NEW UPDATE: The new Signal Strength Widget provides up to date, easy to access information on your Android or Windows device's current Wi-Fi connection.
Network Signal Info
Do you know ? Network Signal Info / Pro are UNIQUE
This type of software is ONLY available on Android smartphones - neither iOS nor Window Phones.
Two widgets, one for mobile- and one for WiFi-signalstrength.
(If you can't find widgets, please copy the app to phone memory)
I have put special value on the visualization of the WiFi and mobile signal strength. They are normally only divided in weakly, good and excellent. Graphically in the form of mostly "only" three to five bars on the Mobile Radio and three to five "waves" by a WiFi connection.
In my app I differentiate the signal strength in total 14 bars. This will give you a quick visualized and detailed information about how good the signal strength is really.
In addition to the much more sophisticated graphical representation of the signal strength you will see some more interesting information.
In "Mobile Signal":
Network operators, Sim operator, phone type, network type, network strength in dbm and ASU, data state, data activity, country code of the mobile phone, device ID, IP address, roaming state.
In "WiFi signal":
WiFi-Name (SSID), BSSID, MAC address, maximum WiFi speed, IP address, external IP address, net capability, net channel, subnet mask, Gateway IP address, DHCP server address, DNS1 and DNS2 address.
If you like the app, please give me a positive rating in the market.
The Pro version (compared to the free version) has no ads, a NEW cell tower database with more than 22 million entries, a NEW MOBILE SIGNAL TRACKER function that generates a KML file for use with Google Earth, more widgets, a MOBILE SIGNAL LOST SERVICE and much more.

Screen Timeout Toggle
Screen Timeout Toggle is a useful app for keeping screen backlight on even if you didn't interact with the device for a longer period. When the app is started the system is prevented from switching off the screen after the display timeout. Additionaly a notification appears in the status bar to indicate the current status of the app and to give a possibility to simply reactivate the display timeout. An additional app starter is implemented to disable this notification if you don't want it.
For easy access there is a widget, that shows the actual status and toggles it by simply one click.
Also a good solution for the Samsung Galaxy S3 which doesn't give a possibility for keeping the screen on if the device is inactive for a longer period.
If you find problems please email me. I will then improve the app, that will help you and me a lot more than negative comments!
Note: The new app doesn't change the value of Screen-Timeout in your system settings anymore!
Static IP Toggle
Please configure static IP in the device settings before you run the app for the first time, because the app has to read this configuration.
A widget is included to show the actual status on the homescreen.

Marvel overloaded the masses with marketing for The Avengers, but the reason that tactic paid off (beyond opening weekend) is because Joss Whedon's superhero blockbuster possesses the zest and spirit of gusto comic book adventures. Now the ball's in Shane Black's court, as he must likewise disprove skepticism – from those who claim superhero titles are just hype and fan-pandering – with Iron Man 3.
Of course, that doesn't mean no anticipation-building in the meantime. Star Robert Downey Jr. is doing his part to help, now that principal photography has wrapped on schedule (following a short period of shooting in China). The actor hit a handful of familiar talking points concerning the movie's tone and villain, while addressing the conclusion of filming on the Iron Man threequel.
To quote Downey:
"I think Shane's gone for a dark feel in this movie. It's a lot grittier and goes back to its comic-book roots. It's shaped into a really special movie – and Shane [has] been instrument in that."
The term "grittier" inevitably seems to circle the conversation back to "the Chris Nolan influence," when it concerns superhero movies. However, as we saw with this past summer's The Amazing Spider-Man, its meaning is flexible; after all, the existential dread of Nolan's Dark Knight film trilogy is worlds apart from Marc Webb's modern update of the Peter Parker mythos. Iron Man 3 is shaping up more serious relative to previous installments (ie. similar to its "Extremis" comic story influence), but that doesn't mean it's 'a serious movie' in a general meaning of the phrase.
Black's film has the advantage of a personal revenge storyline, when it comes to delivering a more complicated and nuanced portrait of the Tony Stark character and his world. That goes double for bringing on definitive IM baddie Mandarin as the antagonist, with both Downey and Marvel head Kevin Feige showering praise on Ben Kingsley's performance as the villain:
"I always think there's something more terrifying about a villain who's a genius, as opposed to just relying on strength or ability. We all know what a fantastic actor Ben Kingsley is, and he pulls off the evil genius with real terrifying results."
Iron Man 2 antagonist Ivan Vanko (Mickey Rourke) was likewise a genius, but he ended up spending a good chunk of the sequel as Justin Hammer's (treacherous) lapdog; as opposed to, presenting a constant threat to Tony and the world, as Mandarin seemingly does in Black's film. That aspect alone should be a refreshing spin on prior installments – which culminated with a battle between Stark and an armored opponent who presented a less-than-legitimate threat.
Lastly, to make this a full meal, Marvel has released a new Iron Man 3 image to tie into the Winter Holiday season:
Stark's not exactly in a Winter Wonderland here, is he? Moving on…
Iron Man 3 is directed by Shane Black based off a screenplay he co-wrote with Drew Pearce. It stars Robert Downey Jr., Ben Kingsley, Don Cheadle, Gwyneth Paltrow, Guy Pearce, Jon Favreau, Rebecca Hall, William Sadler, James Badge Dale, Wang Xueqi and the voice of Paul Bettany.
Iron Man 3 releases May 3rd, 2013, Thor: The Dark World on November 8th, 2013, Captain America: The Winter Soldier on April 4th, 2014, Guardians of the Galaxy on August 1st, 2014, The Avengers 2 on May 1st, 2015 and Ant-Man on November 6th, 2015.

With unemployment rates dropping, more college graduates are finding jobs. Unfortunately they still have to worry about bills and student loans. When living at home after graduation seems like the worst option, one student is making it work.
Able to save about a third of my paycheck each month."
This college graduate has been living at home for a year and half after graduating in May of 2010. She commutes every day to save on rent and other expenses.
"I work in New York City and I've been commuting since, living in south Jersey so from door to door it's about a two hour commute."
Where a cheap apartment in New York City could cost around 1,000 a month- by working out a deal with her parents, Alisha is able to live at home rent free.
"Well it was a deal that I actually made with my parents when I decided that I was going to move home for the next two and half years at the time. And we decided that I would be the one responsible for making dinners, doing the grocery shopping, making lunches."
And after nine more months, Alisha will be ready to comfortably move out.
"My car lease is like my deadline because otherwise I will have no way of getting myself to the bus station and back every day. So I lose that lease in January 2013, so my goal is to be moved into an apartment by November 1. I'm working around that car lease."
Not only is her car lease a factor, but she still has been able to budget her money to pay off student loans before moving out.
"My student loan it does take up a hefty amount, about a quarter of my paycheck every month. I do have a private loan as well as a federal loan so I will be able to pay off all of my private loan. It's the federal loan that I'll still have left but it's a very miniscule amount of money per month and it will just be great to have all of my private loan paid off."
If you recently graduated, living at home to save money could be the right choice.
"To be able to be dependent and on my own in another nine months and be able to be financially debt free, that's an amazing feeling."

This course aims to meet the changing needs of surgical educators and to incorporate the latest developments in education. It comprises of three components; two of which are delivered via e-learning approximately one month either side of the two face-to-face days. These additional components will help you gain the maximum benefit from the contact days, deepening your understanding of how adults learn and enabling you to plan, develop, deliver and evaluate training more effectively. Full details of the relevant dates will form part of the formal joining instructions which will be sent closer to the start date.
The dates below are for the two face-to-face days. You will need to allow time either side to complete the e-learning work. For that reason, registration will close one week before the start of the face-to-face component.

Candy Giants Both Show New Faces in Failed Deal
Published: September 19, 2002
(Page 3 of 3)
Both offers were rejected in a 10-to-7 vote because they did not meet the trust's objectives, Mr. Kelly said. The trust said the offer led by Cadbury Schweppes was scrapped because the trust considered the asking price too low and it was displeased with the plan for the community. There was also concern about breaking the company up between two entities, Mr. Kelly said.
Though the Wrigley offer exceeded the asking price for Hershey and was thought to address the community issues, it would not have solved the trust's diversification issue, the trust said. If the trust had accepted Wrigley's offer, Mr. Kelly said, it would have still had 36 percent of its assets in the new company. It now has 56 percent of its assets in Hershey Foods.
But executives close to the deliberations painted a picture of a fractured Hershey Trust board making decisions based more on high emotions than on the actual terms of the deal.
"It had nothing to do with the price," a person close to the board said. "If God had walked in and offered $110 a share, they still wouldn't have taken it."
Some trustees were on the verge of tears during the meeting, these people said. One trustee told the board how his wife had received nasty glances at the supermarket since the trustees decided to put Hershey Foods up for sale in July.
After a 10-hour board meeting at a hotel in the Philadelphia suburb of Valley Forge , the trust finally decided to call a vote. Wrigley's offer was more than the trust had ever expected it would get.
Richard H. Lenny, Hershey Foods' chief executive, was reviewing the deal's final details in an office building in downtown Philadelphia as his advisers drafted a news release to announce the deal when he got the phone call from the trust.
Robert C. Vowler, the trust's chief executive who had set the auction process in motion, told Mr. Lenny there would be no sale. Even Mr. Vowler had voted against selling the company, according to executives close to the situation.
Ultimately, the board seemed to bow to pressure from the community, which had erupted with anger upon hearing about the possibility that Hershey and the Pennsylvania town that bears its name would no longer be controlled by a trust and could be purchased by a foreign company. Pennsylvania's attorney general, Michael Fisher, won a temporary injunction to stop the sale of the company. Yesterday, a judge upheld the injunction.
The failed deal is another significant bump in the road for Mr. Lenny. Since he joined the company in March 2001, he has had to weather a strike by the company's employees. He was also initially opposed to the sale of Hershey, proposing instead to buy back shares of the company from the trust, an idea the trust rejected. During the long negotiations, analysts said, Mr. Lenny warmed to the idea of a merger with Wrigley.
Yesterday, Hershey said it had no intention of renewing its proposal to buy back shares of the company and remained committed to growing its business.
"Our mission, as always, is to bring our energy and attention to the task of building our brands and capitalizing on the immense strengths that were so clearly evident to potential acquirers," Mr. Lenny said in a statement.
John McMillin, an analyst at Prudential Securities, said: "Rick Lenny is faced with the task of `how do I make this smell good to shareholders?' The reality is they've got an underleveraged balance sheet. They might buy back some stocks, but I just don't see a way of making this smell good to shareholders. I think he's really struggling with what to say and what to do, including saying enough already."
Hershey said Mr. Lenny had no plans to quit.
