I stayed in this hotel for a few days and it was very nice. I gave it 4 stars because the breakfast could be improved, and because there is no recycling. If you are looking for a place quieter than San Juan, and close to the beach, this is a good option.

Thank you for sharing a simply clear explanation in Part One of the Crocheted Scarflette tutorial, about the beginning crochet chain and single crochet stitches. Especially, the part about not counting the loop on the hook as a chain, and explaining about the difference between the first and second chains from the crochet hook. It truly is important to us beginners, for the instructors to go slow when demonstrating the crochet moments. Myself and others are deeply appreciative. Well done!

Union Workers Picket Hotel Bel-Air, Favorite Haunt of Hollywood Celebrities
Several hundred union demonstrators picketed outside the Hotel Bel-Air this evening, calling on managers to rehire workers who were laid off when the hotel closed for renovations.
"They say go away! We say no way!" the protesters chanted. After a march down to Sunset Boulevard, they temporarily blocked Stone Canyon Road, which leads to the hotel.
The union was joined by about 60 protesters from Occupy L.A., the group that has been camped outside L.A. City Hall for the last two weeks.
The hotel, which is popular among Hollywood celebrities, laid off more than 250 employees when it closed for renovations. About 100 of them reapplied for their jobs earlier this year, as the hotel prepared to reopen. But Unite Here organizers say that only about 10-15 of them were rehired.
The rest got postcards, reading "At the present time we are pursuing other candidates who more closely match the job qualifications."
"This is a high-class hotel," said Martin Tavarez, the assistant maitre d' at the banquet, who has been out of work for the last two years. "The clientele need high-class personnel. They need people with experience. We know the hotel like the back of our hand."
The hotel is owned by the Sultan of Brunei. One of the demonstrators appeared dressed as the Sultan. The hotel has said the new workers will vote whether to join a union.
Councilman Paul Koretz, who represents Bel Air, joined the demonstration, as did Councilman Bill Rosendahl. John Wilhelm, the president of Unite Here, also joined the protest.
"I never thought I'd get to do this in Bel Air," he said. "Peace won't come to Bel Air until peace comes to the workers of the Hotel Bel-Air."
The Unite Here demonstrators adopted the Occupy Wall Street chant, "We are the 99%."

The parents of late Australian actor Heath Ledger keep in contact with their granddaughter via video chats.
Ledger's daughter Matilda, with his ex-girlfriend Michelle Williams, was just two years old when the Brokeback Mountain star died of an overdose in 2008, and she currently lives in Brooklyn, New York with her actress mother.
However, Ledger's father, Kim, reveals the family back in Australia keeps in touch with the youngster using video calling service Skype, insisting the seven year old is particularly close to her elder cousins, Rori and Scarlett.
He tells UsMagazine.com, "The kids Skype backwards and forwards and they play act on there. The twins Skype her all the time."
Although Matilda is still young, she is already starting to take after her late dad.
He adds, "Mummy keeps her out of the limelight but she sings beautifully and dances to herself well. She looks a lot like him. She's definitely got a lot of her dad's physical characteristics, his floppy movements and his body attitude, but she's a gorgeous little girl."
Lindsay Lohan really did write down her now infamous list of lovers, which has been providing gossip fodder for a couple of weeks now. But...

Annie's Rainbow
Kensington Publishing Corporation, 1999 - Fiction - 381 pages
FERN MICHAELS has thrilled countless readers with her compelling, passionate tales of love, loss, and renewal. Now she surpasses herself with an unforgettable new novel. The same twist of fate that makes a woman rich beyond her wildest dreams propels her towards unexpected danger and the real treasure waiting at the end of...
It came out of the blue. A half-million dollars on graduation day. For Anna Daisy Clark, it was the capital she needed to start a business and secure her future. It was also money that didn't belong to her. Vowing to pay back every penny of it one day, she kept the bag of cash she'd found, and never looked back.
Ten years later, Annie's investment has paid off. The owner of a successful chain of elegant coffee bars, she is blissfully engaged to handsome coffee plantation owner Parker Grayson, and about to return triumphant to Boston for her 10th college reunion. She also begins making good on her promise to return the five hundred thousand dollars with anonymous monthly payments.
But just as Annie's life seems complete, the dark history of the money returns to haunt her. Someone is determined to solve the mystery of a ten-year-old bank robbery and an enraged thief who has served his time is coming to reclaim his loot. Suddenly, Annie is plunged into the chaos of a deadly chase, forced to use all her wits to keep her world from unraveling, and from losing the one thing she values most -- the priceless gift of l

In the following study we would like to scientifically assess, how often people are actually using their mobile phones. When do we go online for the first time a day, when do we first check for new email and when do we receive the first call? Additionally, it is the aim of the study to find out how differences in smartphone usage can be explained. In this context we would like to take into account classic self-report inventories from personality psychology (e.g. recording the self-perceived anxiety or sociability). More specifically, the phone shall ask questions from short versions of scales for personality assessment from personality psychology (e.g. "I am anxious" with possible answers ranging from "agree strongly" to "disagree strongly").
These single items will appear on the screen to very manageable extent (not more than one item per day). You can, of course, dismiss the request.
Because your smartphone contains very private information, we would like to explain, what information the software stores and which it does not. It does not record any personal content from emails, SMS or chat messengers (e.g. WhatsApp). Of course it does not record, what internet addresses you visit or with whom you are talking over the phone. We are interested in quantitative variables - how long are you online per day, when do you look on the phone for the last time in the evening and how big is your social network (how many different phone numbers are there, but not what phone numbers are in your phone book)? Quantitatively, this means further, that content or email with regard to the size of your vocabulary can be assessed and be sent to our servers (e.g. vocabulary is made up of 3430 words). Again: it is not possible to gain any knowledge about the original email's content from this information. Subsequently, we elucidate what information we record, what the study's design looks like and how we secure your data.
Please refer to the details of this on https://menthal.iai.uni-bonn.de/terms .

E.g. if you are using a particular app for long, if you are making too many calls or if you have used the phone for over an hour, BreakFree will notify you to slow down and enjoy life.
2. Non Intrusive notifications: Using a highly advanced algorithm, the app calculates an addiction score in real time and maintains a detailed history of your scores. The app communicates results through a friendly and engaging character called Sato (You'll love this guy :).
3. Phone Management Tools: The app also provides you phone management tools such as blocking notifications, disabling the internet, rejecting phone calls and sending auto text messages. You can unplug when you need to or you can control your habits by scheduling these tools to run on a given day at a given time. For instance, say you want to spend family time every Sunday from 3 PM to 6 PM, schedule your phone to disable sound and internet so that you are not disturbed by calls and notifications during that time and can completely focus on your family time.
4. Usage Statistics: View usage stats for your top used apps, call patterns and other functions to help you make informed decisions on taking necessary actions. E.g., If you know you've launched WhatsApp 30 times in a day, then it's time to take a step back and cut down on that.
5. Parental Control: For the younger smartphone users, BreakFree can be used as a great parental control device. By installing it on your child's smartphone you can monitor his / her phone usage, schedule internet hours, etc.
Smartphone addiction is a growing problem all over the world across age groups. There are many instances of people seeking treatment for Nomophobia. It's about time we learn to unplug, learn to disconnect and start to enjoy life. Let's start using our phones the way they were meant to be. Let's make time for the more important things in life.

Notif History has been released! This will back up your text and list notifications and allows you to re-create notifications by tapping on them. FYI, this will not save picture notifications. Just text and list. Swipe to delete notifications because this free version will only show your last 10 :( Consider buying Notif Pro for unlimited backup!
Create notifications hands-free with VoiceNotif! Just tap the microphone icon at the top and it will listen for a title and your content. It will create an expandable notification, just as if you typed it out yourself.
There are three types of notifications that you can create:
1) Text: Holds a title, an expanded title, and multiple lines of content when expanded
2) Picture: Holds a title, one line of content, and an image that you can take or retrieve from your gallery
3) List: Holds a title, up to 7 items, a summary, and one line of content when the notification is reduced
To expand a notification that isn't already expanded, simply pull down on it with two fingers. Note that by default, only the highest notification is expanded.
What is "ongoing"?
- The term ongoing means that the notification will be fixed in the notification shade. You will not be able to swipe it away or clear it, unless you click on it and press "delete". If the check box is checked, it will be ongoing. If not, it will not be ongoing. Whether or not the notification is ongoing is not related to it being restored after a reboot.
What is "priority"?
- Priority, by definition, is the amount of attention a notification will receive. You can set the priority in Notif to default, minimum, or maximum.
- Default: Just the norm. Like when you receive a text message, it will appear and other notifications can appear above or below it.
- Minimum: These will always be fixed to the bottom and the icon will not appear in the status bar.
- Maximum: These will always be fixed to the top.
Upgrade to Notif Pro to get these features:
+ Notification editing
+ Unlimited Notif History
+ Over 200 icons
+ Integration with Android's share intents
+ QuickNotif - create and clear notifications from notification shade
+ Lots more to come
+ Only $1.49!

About me: I am a high school student. Updates will not always be as quick as you might like :)
A few known issues to be fixed:
- The resolution for pictures taken with camera in the Big Picture tab is pretty low. An easy workaround is to use your phone's camera app to take the picture and then use the "Get Picture" button in Notif to grab it from the gallery. It will be high resolution.
- Cannot get picture from gallery on Nexus 7
Permissions explained:
1. RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED -> Used to restore notifications on reboot

Contact Editor Free
I just fixed it to make it work with arbitrary contact sources (like CardDAV-Sync) and removed the dependencies on the internal API to make it work with Android 2.2 and later.
So all credits go to Google.
This editor is a replacement/alternative for your native editor and it's invoked in the same way. It will be started whenever you try to edit or create a contact (and you select "Contact Editor Free").
If you can edit all your contacts you may not have any benefits from this app. It is useful if you use some custom Sync-Adapter that does not feature its own editor (like CardDav-Sync) and your editor can not edit those contacts.
However some people reported it is useful if your phone's manufacturer removed the ability to edit custom labels.
Also, have a look at "Contact Editor Pro" an improved version of this editor. ( https://market.android.com/details?id=org.dmfs.android.contacteditorpp )
Get support and news via Twitter https://twitter.com/dmfs_org
This app can not edit or remove contacts from read-only sources like Facebook or Cloudtact! This is due to the definition of read-only!
Also, if you see a blank screen when editing contacts that are aggregated with a Facebook contact, try to remove and recreate your Facebook account. Facebook limits access from other apps which breaks the contacts API in a way. For further information see http://techcrunch.com/2011/02/22/google-android-facebook-contacts/
Note regarding Events:
There is a big problem with events in this editor (better: with Android). The Android SDK documentation states about the database column for the date: 'The event start date as the user entered it.' Unfortunately does every manufacturer have it's own opinion about the format. Some are happy with 'yyyy-mm-dd', my phone uses unix timestamps.
So if your phone doesn't accept the 'yyyy-mm-dd' format try entering a unix-timestamp ;-). Seriously, I think about removing this feature until I've found a proper solution. You can help by sending me mails with your phone model, os version and which formats work or don't work for you.
Btw: just writing a comment like "Doesn't work on..." won't help neither you nor me to get it running on your device. Please contact me if you have problems.
Please report bugs by sending me a mail stating what happened and what you did before it happened. Often the Market bug reports are not very helpful without additional informations.
known issues:
* on some devices this app hangs when it is opened. If this happens to you, please send me an email!
* crashes in some very rare cases. I've no further information about those cases and I'm not able to reproduce them. Please send me an email with your phone model, your OS version and what kind of sync-adapters you have installed. Thanks!

1. Short message system for handling short messages (SMS-MO) sent by mobiles (MO), comprising switching arrangements (MSC) on which the mobiles (MO) depend for radio connection, and short message servers (SMSC) at which the messages from a mobile (SMS-MO) arrive and are routed back, in the form of messages "destined for a mobile" (SMS-MT), to the destination mobiles (MO′), the mobile sending messages (SMS-MO) including in the message the address of the server (SMSC) of a card (SIM), the system comprising:
a virtual server (SMSC-V) which is defined by its address (ADR-V) and is associated with an operator, the address (ADR-V) of the virtual server (SMSC-V) being the only server address recorded on said cards (SIM);
a real server (SMSC-R) which is defined by its address (ADR-R);
the switching arrangement (MSC) contains an address translator for replacing the address (ADR-V) of the virtual server (SMSC-V) with the address (ADR-R) of the real server (SMSC-R) to which the message (SMS-MO) will be routed, which real server handles the message and routes it to the intended receiver (MO′);
a prepaid card database (BD-CP RP) containing credit accounts of prepaid short message cards and their associated code numbers; and
a prepaid short message card (CA), having a secret code (CD), which the subscriber purchases, the subscriber using a secret code (CD) and including the secret code (CD) in his short messages (SMS-MO), when there is no interactive vocal server (SVI) for top-up, whereby the real short message server (SMSC-R), upon receipt of a short message (SMS) from a mobile, verifies authorisation of transmission by checking the code (CD) and the account credit assigned to that code (CD) in the prepaid card database (BD-CPRP), and thereupon sends the message to the intended receiver (SMS-MT) if the credit permits, and, if no credit is permitted, the server (SMSC-R) sends a credit exhaustion message to the mobile (MO) which sent the message (SMS-MO).
2. Short message system according to
3. System according to
4. System according to
The present invention relates to a short message system, especially a prepaid message system, for sending messages by means of mobile telephones and, where appropriate, managing a prepaid short message service, which system comprises switching arrangements on which the mobiles depend for radio connection, and short message servers at which the messages from a mobile arrive and are routed back, in the form of messages "destined for a mobile", to the destination mobiles, the mobile sending messages including a secret code in the message, although that is not obligatory.
Short messages SMS are transmitted by mobile telephones. In a large number of cases, however, mobile telephones use the prepayment system, which does not allow the question of short messages to be handled efficiently.
The prepaid telephone card market for mobiles has been a major factor in the expansion of the mobiles market in order to avoid the problems of non-payment or to make a costly billing system more economical and simplify administration.
In some countries, all subscribers are prepaid, and some operators are abandoning post-payment completely and accepting only prepaid subscriptions.
Under these circumstances there arises the problem of the short message service which must be provided for subscribers with prepaid subscriptions, since short messages are likely to represent a very considerable proportion of an operator's activity.
There are at present three types of solution for dealing with this problem:
The intelligent network IN uses a service control point SCP which is interrogated by service switching point software SSP of the short message services each time a subscriber wishes to make a telephone communication. The control point SCP then interrogates the credit database SDP in order to authorise the communication for a period of X seconds and interrupt it after that time.
The second solution is that of service nodes SN, which consists in routing all prepaid subscribers' communications to that dedicated switching arrangement, which manages the credit database.
Finally, hot-billing consists in creating billing tickets at the level of network switching arrangements MSC, which transmit periodically, typically every few minutes, their consumption to a debiting system for the credits that is capable of interrupting a call. However, this relatively old solution has many disadvantages owing to the risk of credit being exceeded.
In those three solutions for prepaid telephony, telephone credit can generally be topped up by the purchase of credit cards (scratch cards) which contain a concealed secret number with all security rules. That number is used to ask an interactive vocal server SVI to top up the credit by the amount of the scratch card. The various handling operations are relatively complicated. In addition, there is the cost of the interactive vocal server and that of the credit database SDP. Nevertheless, the invention can, without changing anything, also be associated with a SVI for topping up credit. In that case, the system is more convenient to use because the prepaid user does not have to add a secret code before the text.
In conclusion, the solutions hitherto employed are relatively cumbersome, not very flexible, not very reliable and are generally not suitable for small or medium-sized operators.
Among the current technical solutions envisaged and envisageable for prepaid short messages, in the case of the intelligent network IN it is not possible to interrogate a service control point SCP when a message SMS-MO transmitted by a mobile is sent.
The second theoretical solution, that of service nodes (SN), does not work since they are not requested at the time of a SMS-MO unless a special SMSC which is capable of interrogating the credit in the SN is incorporated in the SN (a solution which is not very widespread and in this case the SMSC is too simplified).
Finally, the hot-billing of SMS-MO messages is a possibility, but the billing tickets for the SMS-MO messages are sent with a considerable delay, which may reach several hours, to the database SDP containing the credit remaining for the prepaid service. Where there is insufficient credit, there is disconnection by way of an interface with the database in order to locate the subscriber on the basis of his mobile number (HLR). The disadvantage of this solution is that it requires a specially developed and costly SDP server, as well as the disadvantage that debiting is delayed according to the rate of receipt of the SMS-MO message tickets.
Certain other solutions have already been employed, for example that of the SMSC server equipped with particular software allowing the credit database SDP to be interrogated, but such solutions have been developed in closed contexts. The solution is excellent but the price of the software is very high.
Finally, another solution which is sometimes used by some large operators consists in sending all SMS-MO messages to a dedicated server SMSC which sends them, by way of a dedicated connection, to the credit management point SDP; the latter checks whether the subscriber is prepaid and whether he has credit, and then sends the message to other servers SMSC dedicated to forwarding the message to the destination mobile (SMS-MT), while the first server SMSC is dedicated to messages coming from a mobile SMS-MO with reduced means, in a flexible manner and in total security.
In that system, SMS message debits are made in real time, but the cost of the solution is relatively high and it is not suitable for small or medium-sized operators.
The object of the present invention is to develop a short message system which is, in particular, suitable for small and medium-sized operators and, especially, for those which have only prepaid subscribers, allowing prepaid short messages SMS to be managed easily.
The present invention relates to a system which is characterised in that it comprises:
This system has the advantage that it is very simple to implement and, especially, has possibilities for expansion and for being opened up. In fact, the system allows different operators to join together and to have their subscribers' short messages handled by the real server, by way of the address of a virtual server and the translation of that address, which is carried out by the switching arrangement(s) of the operator.
In particular, this allows the handling of short messages of operators from different countries to be grouped together.
The real server is therefore located in a different country from that of the operator, and the connection between the switching arrangement of the operator of the sending subscriber and the real server is made by way of the international network.
And, in particular, the virtual server has an address in the country of the operator on which the subscriber sending the message depends.
The invention is of interest especially in the management of the short message service and, in particular, in allowing prepayment therefor.
To that end, the system comprises a prepaid card database containing the credit accounts of prepaid short message cards and the associated code numbers, a prepaid short message card, having a secret code, which the subscriber purchases and the secret code of which he uses and includes in his short messages, the real short message server receiving a short message from a mobile and verifying authorisation of transmission by checking the code and the account credit assigned to that code in the prepaid card database, and it sends the message to the intended receiver if the credit permits, and otherwise the server sends a credit exhaustion message to the mobile sending the message.
The present invention will be described hereinbelow in more detail with the aid of three embodiments of short message systems shown in the attached drawings, in which:
Corresponding reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views. Although the exemplification set out herein illustrates embodiments of the invention, in several forms, the embodiments disclosed below are not intended to be exhaustive or to be construed as limiting the scope of the invention to the precise forms disclosed.
According to
The server searches for the destination mobile MO′ and then transmits the short message SMS back, in the form of a short message mobile terminated SMS-MT, by substantially the opposite path, passing through the international network SS7 again and the switching arrangement MSC2 on which the destination mobile MO′ depends.
More precisely according to the invention, the system comprises a virtual server SMSC-V which is defined solely by its address ADR-V, and that server is associated with an operator or with the switching arrangements MSC of that operator, for example the switching arrangement MSC1 on which a mobile MO depends.
The system also comprises a real server SMSC-R which is defined by its address ADR-R.
The address ADR-V of the virtual server SMSC-V is the only server address that will be supplied to the mobile MO using this service.
The address ADR-V is recorded on the SIM cards of the users of the operator connected to the switching arrangement MSC1. The real address is not known to the user and exists only in the address translator.
According to the invention, the switching arrangements of the system, and in particular the switching arrangement MSC1, contain an address translator which automatically replaces the virtual address ADR-V with the address ADR-R of the real server SMSC-R which is to handle the messages.
According to the example shown, the real server SMSC-R is located in a different country from that of the switching arrangement MSC1 or the operator on which it depends, and the connection is made by way of the international network SS7 and by way of a gateway IGP.
Different countries P1, P2, P3 are shown diagrammatically as being connected to the international network SS7.
The centralised server SMSC-R is able to handle messages for operators located in different countries, such as the operator using the switching arrangement MSC1. In each of the countries P1, P2, P3 it is possible to have operators associated with switching arrangements MSC equipped with an address translator.
In each country, the SIM cards for the mobiles MO contain the address of a virtual server as the address ADR-V described above. When a message is received, the address translator of the country's network switching arrangement replaces the virtual address ADR-V with the real address ADR-R and routes the message to the real server SMSC-R, which centralises the messages and forwards them to their intended receiver.
Forwarding is carried out to the switching arrangement of the destination mobile MO′ back by way of the international network SS7 and the gateway IGP, if the switching arrangement MSC2 of the intended receiver is not located in the same country as the server SMSC-R, which corresponds to the most general case shown in
The organisation of the system is the same. Each short message operator uses a virtual server SMSC-V whose address ADR-V is recorded on the SIM cards supplied by that operator.
As in the general system, the SIM card of each user contains the address ADR-V of the virtual server SMSC-V on which the switching arrangement MSC1 of the mobile MO depends. In order to send prepaid messages, the user of the mobile MO obtains a prepaid message card CA. That card opens a corresponding credit for him.
The card CA, which is different from the SIM card, contains the user's credit code CD. The user includes the code CD in each message to be sent by the mobile MO. The code forms part of the message.
At the same time as the message is sent, the virtual server's address ADR-V is also transmitted. The address is transmitted automatically without the user of the mobile MO having to take any action.
The prepayment system is also completed by a prepaid card database BD-CPRP which manages the credits. The database contains the codes CD and the credits associated with the codes.
The base is connected to the real server SMSC-R.
When a short message SMS-MO is sent by the mobile MO, the message, which is automatically combined with the virtual address ADR-V of the virtual server, and the code CD included in the message SMS-MO arrive at the switching arrangement MSC1, which simply translates the virtual address ADR-V into the real address ADR-R without touching the code CD, because the code forms part of the text of the message.
The message is then transmitted by the switching arrangement MSC1 to the real server SMSC-R, either directly, if that server is in the same country, or by way of the international network SS7 and the associated gateway IGP.
The server SMSC-R receiving the message refers to the database BD-CPRP in order to check the code and the available credit assigned to that code. If the amount of credit is greater than the cost of transmitting the message, the message is handled. Otherwise, it is rejected.
In order to handle the message, the server SMSC-R sends it, in the form of a message mobile terminated SMS-MT, to the mobile MO′, as has already been described, optionally using the international network SS7, the gateway IGP to the switching arrangement MSC2 of the destination mobile MO′.
The message SMS-MT which is sent will have been cleaned of the code CD, which will not appear in the text of the message SMS-MT.
If there is not sufficient credit to authorise transmission, the server SMSC-R sends a corresponding message to the sending mobile MO, by way of optionally the international network SS7, the gateway IGP, the switching arrangement MSC1 and the mobile MO.
The invention makes it possible to generalise operation to the case of "post-paid" subscribers, for whom no credit check is carried out. To that end, the SMSC-R must know whether the subscriber is prepaid or not, which in almost all cases cannot be deduced from the number of the originating mobile.
According to
The SMSC-R therefore behaves like a VLR. In response, the HLR sends a standard GSM message of the type "MAP-INSERT-SUBSCRIBER-DATA" which contains a subscriber profile allowing it to be known whether the subscriber is prepaid or not, without actually modifying the location. In the latter case, checking of the CD code with access to the database is not carried out.
While this invention has been described as having a preferred design, the present invention can be further modified within the spirit and scope of this disclosure. This application is therefore intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the invention using its general principles. Further, this application is intended to cover such departures from the present disclosure as come within known or customary practice in the art to which this invention pertains and which fall within the limits of the appended claims.

The Los Angeles-based shop has worked to create standout ads for big-ticket projects from History's Vikings to MGM's recent RoboCop movie remake. BPG also has an altruistic side: It recently built a campaign for PETA around shocking images of syringes, knives, chains … all made out of animal emoji.

Stephanie Wright (M 2002-10) reports: On September 1, a welcome condition will be spreading throughout the Society of Old Framlinghamians. Indeed, on September 1, 2012, the College will once again be welcoming football fever into its grounds.
UPDATE 15th August: A reminder that the deadline for SOF Football is this SUNDAY, 19th August - if you want to participate in any way then get in touch ASAP. If there are not enough players by Sunday then I might have to cancel; please spread the word. All the information you'll need can be found at: OF Football Match Facebook Event – or, if you are on Twitter, search the hashtag '#FramFootball'.
If you are interested in playing or getting involved in any way at all, please contact Ted Harrington (S 2005-10) as soon before Sunday, 19 August as possible. Should any questions arise, you can also contact him via email at email@example.com.
Followers of the website may recall an article, back in July 2008, about the Colditz Cock, and the part that Bill Goldfinch (26-32) played in the construction of this secret glider, which he and others built in a concealed attic of Colditz Castle.
A new film has been made, this time on location at Colditz Castle, following the reconstruction of the glider from the original plans and materials, culminating in a flight attempt using the method planned by Bill and his fellow prisoners - but will it work?
The programme, "Escape From Colditz", goes out tonight (13th August 2012) at 9.00pm, but it should be available on 4oD for a while afterwards. You can read about it the programme Here.
Suffolk Supper 2012 - Saturday 15th September.
Update 12th September: This event is now sold-out - A great thing to be able to report, but sorry if you were hoping to make a late reservation and are now disappointed.
Last year's Suffolk Supper – a tribute to Tony Lawrence – marked a departure from traditional sit-down suppers. The buffet format was hailed as a considerable success, so we have decided to repeat that format this year. Tables will be set up, so there will be no need to wander around precariously, performing an impossible balancing act with food, cutlery and glass, while eating and talking at the same time. So come along prepared to mix and mingle, rather than be fixed at one particular table.
Plans are afoot to conduct a unique tour of Northern France and Belgium, in February 2014, to commemorate the actions of three military heroes of Framlingham College, and James Ruddock-Broyd (G46-52), Hon. Tour Promoter, is keen to hear from people who might be interested in joining it. He writes:
In July 1952, at the age of 18, Neil Joy (R 47-51) left the College shooting team and walked across the Bisley ranges to enjoy his first shoot as a member of the Old Framlinghamian Rifle Club.(OFRC). He was firing a WW2 No 4 .303 and aiming at tin hat targets. Now, sixty years later, he's using a modern Swing .308 target rifle on a black circular aiming mark. Remarkably, he has continued to use OFRC club equipment and rifles throughout these years and always finds a jacket to fit. The scores remain consistently good and he has been known to achieve the occasional possible "50 ex 50". His scoring diagrams from July 1952 and 2012 show that old shooters never fade away, they just need more sighters.
Thanks to the hard work of Catherine Howard-Dobson and Chris Keeble this long-awaited book is now available.
The book is being published through Blurb, the online publishing service, which is essentially an on-demand means of publishing. The retail price is £8.99 plus post and packaging, and you can click on the following link to go straight to the book's order page. Just confirm the number of copies you want, and then click on the "Add to cart" bar to checkout and provide credit-card or PayPal details to order the book. Blurb will dispatch the book direct to you – they offer two delivery prices, and recent experience suggests that the cheaper version takes only five or six days to reach UK postal addresses.

by the time you are reading this comment, LeAnn Rimes will have walked through LAX with no pants…
I guess she decided to forgo the full body scanners.
Is that Zed's gimp from Pulp Fiction?

Maybe her great toe is injured.
Dolph Lundgren with a wig?
One foot is going to Florida and the other, to Alaska.
Nah, that's Courtney Love!
I was about to say, "leggings are not pants!" but then I realized she didn't even put two of the same shoes on when she left the house, and I don't poke fun at the mentally challenged.
The logical explanation for this is that she's going to kick a field goal in the lingerie football league.
Getting a bit redundant with all the Jared Leto pics, Fish.
Does she have a club foot or what?

i pulled my hair out for a minute but then figured it out. just go to the permalinks settings page (in wp, not gengo) and hit save. no change, just save. that fixed the problem!

- How can i use local notification with sound but without vibration?
- And how can i use it conversely, with vibration but without sound?
while i read, i found one solution for vibration without sound:
(not appropriate to localnotifications in my case)
a) AudioServicesPlayAlertSound(kSystemSoundID_Vibrate);
b) AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(kSystemSoundID_Vibrate);
and as variant play silent sound, that will give vibration without sound effect.
and i can't use sound without vibration (we speak about local notifications). Am i right?
