Bodies Add Up on 'Numb3rs'
"7th Heaven," this is not.

In the
The episodes are clearly inspired by the numerous stories about teachers falling for their students, the most notorious being that of Mary Kay LeTourneau (though, of course, murder and robbery wasn't part of the real-life story). Dickens, though, was careful not to judge her character.
"What worked for me was just to try to understand the characters and why the things they're doing make sense to them," says Dickens, who played whore-turned-property owner Joanie Stubbs on HBO's "Deadwood." "Then there's no judgment in it about whether I'm doing the wrong thing. Crystal doesn't really see that she is doing the wrong thing."
At least in Friday's episode, Dickens and Gallagher spend most of their time away from the regular "Numb3rs" cast, while
"It was interesting shooting a crime drama," Gallagher says. "Kim and I would go in and shoot first thing in the morning -- we'd enter the crime scene, kill people and get out of there. Then we'd wait while the other actors would go to the same location and [film] the investigation. ... It was like a tag-team scenario."
Filming two episodes back-to-back, and getting to shoot and blow stuff, up, made Dickens feel like she was "doing a little movie."
"I worked a lot with Diane Farr, who's just a phenomenal actress and person," she says. "By the time we were finished with episode two, I was like, 'Don't I get to come back?' I got a little attached to the part. A lot of times as a guest star, you're like the new kid at school. ... [But] it was a great experience."
Gallagher, too, says he had a great time, and he's hoping that his "Numb3rs" role will help show people that he has a little more range than what he showed in his 10 seasons on "7th Heaven."
"It's been 10 years that I've been doing this safe thing, and now there are no rules again anymore," he says. "It's a little discomforting, but ... it's nothing I wasn't absolutely looking forward to. Now I get to redefine what my career means."

Prison critics seize upon ex-con arrest in South Bay
State prison officials said they followed the appropriate procedures after Scroggins removed his GPS bracelet. They issued an arrest warrant but no bulletin to law enforcement.
"There is no requirement to do that, and it is just not something that is routinely done," spokeswoman Terry Thornton said. "If any law enforcement agency had picked him up, they could have held him on a parole hold."
Scroggins is to be arraigned Monday in San Diego on several charges, including attempted kidnapping, assault with a deadly weapon and attempted robbery.
Meanwhile, emerging details of his criminal history paint a portrait of a continuing offender.
According to Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation records, Scroggins was 17 when he transferred into the California Youth Authority in 1995 from South Carolina.
It was not immediately clear why Scroggins was moved from South Carolina. The underlying offense listed on parole records refers to a state code section pertaining to the transfer of juvenile sex offenders from one state to another.
State prison officials said he was sentenced to 10 years in prison after being convicted of aiding or abetting rape on a case in Napa County. Details of the conviction were not available Thursday.
Scroggins was paroled in 1999 but returned to custody later that year and again in 2001 and 2002.
On April 22, 2002, Scroggins was arrested for making a terrorist threat, a crime that can either be charged as a misdemeanor or felony. He was discharged from parole in 2003 even though he was facing new criminal charges.
He admitted to a felony terrorist-threat charge in 2004 and was sent back to prison for six years. He was released in January but was returned to custody in February before winning release in March.
Napa County sheriff's Capt. Tracey Stuart said Scroggins registered as a transient sex offender in her jurisdiction after his most recent release.
During a family gathering May 13, she said, Scroggins grabbed a 14-year-old relative in a hug and fondled her backside. "We believe it was a sexual battery," Stuart said.
The incident was not reported until Monday, however, and investigating deputies quickly learned Scroggins was a registered sex offender whose GPS bracelet was no longer working.
"We tried his cell phone and left messages with his mother trying to locate him," Stuart said.
By the time Napa County sheriff's deputies contacted state parole officials, Scroggins was gone.
News of Scroggins' criminal past along with the new accusations were troubling to Harriet Salarno of Crime Victims United, an advocacy group that is suing the state over its early-release policy.
"These people cannot be cured," Salarno said. "So why are we letting them out? … You can control a GPS monitor just so much."
The crime spree comes days after convicted sex offender John Albert Gardner III was sentenced to multiple life terms in prison for murdering North County teenagers Amber Dubois and Chelsea King. His handling by state parole officials has sparked many calls for reform.
The girl attacked in National City said a jogger who fought off Gardner in December was an inspiration to her when she was confronted by a would-be kidnapper with a knife.
Guadalupe said she screamed, reached for the knife, slicing her finger in the process and then hit him with her elbow and ran as blood gushed from her finger.
"If I didn't do that, I wouldn't be here today," she said.
Her mother, Lucy Barraza, said she won't let her daughter walk alone anymore and that she'd be more protective than ever. Barraza said she thinks her daughter is a hero.

A refreshingly bright and happy set of images! I really like the style.
How did you actually do these? They seem like cartoon-shading with texture overlays. In some ways the rendering doesn't look quite right a second glance, but the initial impact is brilliant!

Kon, Gevik, Tyranx, and Erilaz, thank's, I'm glad you liked,
I'm not 100% sure if cartoon-shading is exactly what I did, but, yes, they're only lines, blocked color and shadows, textures and some of soft light, overlay and dissolve layers
September 16th, 2006 #7
Total agreement, that first one is just too rediculous where did you get the idea for that?
Second one is relaxing and serene. Your rendering ability is great, but I think your strong point is defenitely your ideas. Can't wait to see more

I love the dappled shadows on the ground and the birds. Not an easy effect to do.
About the thumbnails; I don't guarantee this will work, but:
Go into "edit" click on "advanced".
Highlight and delete your attatchements.
Place the cursor where you want your image.
Click the little paperclip icon at the top of the window. It will give a dropdown menu of your attatchements.

Two Trees
HDR from 2 photos. I keep seeing something in these two trees, but I don't know that I captured it yet.
wowow!!! fantastic! one of your HDR that I like a lot!
and the contrast is amazing! seems a picture!!!
hey... myr is back. :D:)))
SInce I especially like comparisons in pictures, that's what I see first here, a pair of similar sized conifer and deciduous trees, in a satisfyingly balanced composition.
Yes there is some quiet meaning or question. I think it has to do with the point you are viewing from - through a window perhaps? - and the proportions of distance between viewer, the unmatched couple, and the trees in background. Are they in your domain, or part of the woods, or are they connected to each other (only)? Of course this is all sheer fancy but the unconscious part of the mind does this kind of arithmetic.
The tree on the right really is spectacular. The white pine looks kind of typical but adds balance to this composition. i wonder how this would look if the pine was not there? The sky is really lovely!
Great composition
about shoting landscapes, its all nature :D
This print is the beginning of a story of two trees with the same environment growing so differently. The contrast is excellent and the picture most thought provoking. Well done! BarbyK1037

Plutonium-240 (Pu-240) is an isotope of the metal plutonium formed when plutonium-239 captures a neutron. About 62% to 73% of the time when Pu-239 captures a neutron it undergoes fission; the rest of the time it forms Pu-240. The longer a nuclear fuel element remains in a nuclear reactor the greater the relative percentage of Pu-240 in the fuel becomes. For weapons use, the fuel needs to be as low in Pu-240 as possible, usually less than 7% of the total plutonium (this is because Pu-240 sometimes undergoes spontaneous fission, causing the weapon to detonate prematurely), but this is achieved by reprocessing the fuel after just 90 days of use. Such rapid fuel cycles are highly impractical for civilian power reactors and are normally only carried out with dedicated weapons plutonium production reactors. Plutonium from spent civilian power reactor fuel typically has under 70% Pu-239 and around 26% Pu-240, the rest being made up of other plutonium isotopes, making it extremely difficult but not technically impossible to use it for manufacturing nuclear weapons.[citation needed]
240Pu has only about 1⁄3 as large a neutron absorption cross section as 239Pu, and nearly always becomes plutonium-241 rather than fissioning. In general, isotopes of odd mass number are both more likely to absorb a neutron, and more likely to fission on neutron absorption, than isotopes of even mass number. Thus, even mass isotopes tend to accumulate, especially in a thermal reactor.

Couture Chair
Note: This product is no longer available.
Couture has clean and rounded lines for which Philippe Starck is well known. At first glance, this new chair appears to be a regular plastic shell on a metal frame chair, but it comes with an interesting twist. This is achieved by using a new technique known as heliotransfer that allows patterns to be printed on plastic. Starck's idea of this design is to move away from the minimalist era. He explicitly makes reference to the fashion industry in its chic and frivolous dimension. Couture is living proof that the worlds of design and fashion are not so far apart and can blend successfully together. Available in three tweed patterned colors.
Philippe Starck's unique twist on the minimalist chair - Couture - combines sleek modern lines with a textural fabric-inspired surface. Available in three tweed patterned colors.
Material(s): Chrome plated steel and polypropylene
Dimensions: H 30.7" W 16.5" D 16.5" SH 16.5"
Designer: Philippe Starck
Born in Paris in 1949, he is one of the most original and creative designers of our time. He has obtained many important acknowledgements such as the Grand Prix National de la Création industrielle and the Honor Award of the American Institute of Architects, he considers himself as "a Japanese architect, an American art director, a German industrial designer, a French artistic director, an Italian furniture designer".View other products by Philippe Starck
Manufacturer: xO Design
Back in 1984, Philipppe Starck is raising to stardom; Gérard Mialet's spirits are high. Together, they cross the line and decide to create a new design house. It will be XO. To quote Starck, "To make a beautiful baby, parents have to be in love.".
XO is definitely a love affair.

I was just going to post the same thing.... never forget.
Couldn't if I tried :(
Terrible day that I remember every moment of.
Doesn't really seem like it was 4 years ago. :(
CINCINNATI -- Matt Belisle saw the American flag affixed on his cap Sunday morning and paused for a moment.
"What's today?" he asked a few teammates.
"9/11," they quickly informed him.
A tad embarrassed, Belisle, hardly insensitive to the tragedy, regretted not immediately noticing the date.
Sometimes, though, that's life in the world of baseball.
"All the days start to run together," Belisle said. "But when I saw the flag, I knew it was important."
Seeing that flag was a reminder to Reds players of the lives that were lost and the way the nation was permanently changed on that traumatic Tuesday. Further reminders came when the anniversary was noted during pregame ceremonies and during the seventh-inning singing of "God Bless America" on Sunday.
The date had several members of the team reflecting on where they were when they first heard four planes hijacked by terrorists crashed into the World Trade Center, Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field.
"I was playing for Colorado, and we were in Arizona," Jacob Cruz said. "I was just getting up, and one of my family members called me and told me what was happening. I remember just feeling shock. I still remember that eerie feeling."
Cruz and the Rockies were stuck in Phoenix for several days.
"We weren't allowed to fly back," he remembered. "I think every team in Major League Baseball was kind of stranded."
Jerry Narron remembered what that was like. His Rangers club, scheduled to play Oakland, was marooned in San Francisco, at the Westin St. Francis Hotel.
"Being stuck on the road and not being able to see your family made it a difficult couple of days," Narron recalled.
The Rangers boarded three buses that were set to take them on the long, long journey back to Dallas.
"We were looking at a 30-something-hour bus trip," Narron recalled. "But not one guy complained."
Just a couple hours into the trip, though, the club was able to arrange a flight out of Bakersfield, Calif.
"We were one of the first flights in the air," Narron said.
Life is back to normal -- or, at least, some semblance of normal -- these days. Today, the devastating disaster of Hurricane Katrina dominates the headlines, and 9/11 is almost an afterthought to the general public.
Todd Coffey doesn't think it should be that way.
"I think people have forgotten what happened," Coffey said. "I think we should show the footage every single day to let people know what al-Qaeda did, and why we've got people over there [in Afghanistan and Iraq] to protect people here. The fact that we're over there is because of what happened on 9/11, so I think they should show it on TV, every single day."
Cruz said he saw the footage of the attacks on the World Trade Center on TV just the other day.
"My wife and I were watching an HBO special on it," he said. "And it's still jaw-dropping to see what those people had to go through. It's something that's unexplainable."
And though the days tend to mesh together in this sport, it's something worth reflecting on.

· IE University has renewed its agreement to serve as chief sponsor and academic partner of the upcoming edition of Hay Festival Segovia.
· Japanese architect Shigeru Ban, Swedish explorer Mikael Strandberg, and historian and hispanist Geoffrey Parker will be sharing experiences and insights with IE University professors.
· IE University students will take part in the Festival's press conference and its team of multilingual volunteers.
IE University and the Festival of Literature and Arts Charitable Trust have signed an agreement whereby the University has renewed and expanded on its role of chief sponsor for the 5th edition of Hay Festival Segovia, which will serve as an international platform to bring together over 100 writers and thinkers from around the world on September 18 to 26. Santiago Íñiguez de Onzoño, Rector of IE University, and María Sheila Cremaschi, representing the Festival of Literature and Arts Charitable Trust Foundation, have signed an agreement whereby IE University will contribute to the organization of the festival with experts, resources and facilities.
Santiago Iñiguez, Rector of IE University, said that the University is delighted to share the Hay Festival's commitment to bring to Segovia thought leaders with such a large range of visions for a global world. "The Festival embodies the spirit underlying the educational experience we provide at IE, and we hope that our contribution will further add to the enjoyment of everyone at the Festival."
María Sheila Cremaschi, Director of Hay Festival Segovia, underscored the fact that the Festival organisers "share with IE University a belief in the importance of critical through processes, coupled with a desire to showcase 21st century Segovia as being comparable to the Florence of the Medici", adding a quote by Peter Florence: "For real change, let's talk of dreams".
Climate change, sustainability and humanities, key themes in the Hay Festival Segovia 2010.
As part of the agreement with Hay Festival Segovia 2010, IE University will be sponsoring three conferences and five workshops centered around humanities, architecture and communication.
Japanese architect Shigeru Ban, cited by Time magazine as one of the main innovators of this century, enjoying worldwide renown for projects like the Furniture House and the Paper Church (in response to the Kobe earthquakes) or the Pompidou Center (Metz, France), will be talking with Martha Thorne, Executive Director of the Pritzker Awards and Associate Dean of External Relations at IE School of Architecture, about the social responsibility of architecture.
Swedish explorer Mikael Strandberg, who has explored over 115 countries over the last 23 years, and who was named "Explorer Hero" in 2002 by National Geographic, will be sharing his experiences with Samuel Martín-Barbero, Adjunct Dean of IE Business School. Mikael Strandberg has authored prize-winning documentaries, including "Patagonia - 3,000 Kilometres by Horse", "The Masai People - 1,000 Kilometres by Foot", and "58 Degrees – Exploring Siberia on skis"
The current international situation and change management will be at the center of debates led by Geoffrey Parker, who is in Spain this month to present his new book "Felipe II" (published by Planeta). Parker, a renowned historian and hispanist, as well as senior lecturer at Ohio State University since 1997, will be talking to Rolf Strom Olsen, Professor of IE School of Arts and Humanities, about leadership challenges viewed from a historic perspective.
IE University students and professors involved in workshops and organization
The agreement also includes the participation of students currently studying IE University's Bachelor in Communication in the Hay Festival's Communication Committee, to work on strengthening the promotion of the event both in Spain and worldwide through blogs and social networks. Furthermore, some ten students from the University formed part of the international team of volunteers during the event.
IE University will lend added support to the main themes of this edition of the Hay Festival with the organization of five workshops led by its professors and centered on digital design in architecture, creative writing, multimedia journalism, and expression and spokesmanship. The journalism and spokesmanship workshops will be co-organized with journalists from leading Spanish daily ABC and members of the Dircom Association, respectively.
In the recognition of the fact that the province of Castilla y Leon has forged an international reputation as the cradle of Castilian Spanish, the Hay Festival and IE University have designed a three-day workshop entitled "Español en Contexto (Spanish in context)" for international visitors, where they will discover the language through the writings of guest authors, and the legends and traditions of the city of Segovia.

Leading private US University Brown and IE University are set to run an innovative summer program in Segovia for US pre-university students, aimed at introducing them to the world of business, humanities, international relations, communication and law, while learning Spanish. The course forms part of a collaboration agreement between the two institutions which includes a series of joint programs, student exchanges, and research projects.
Course participants will be pre-university students selected by Brown University to undergo an intensive 3-week program designed to bring them their first taste of university life. Successful candidates will stand out for outstanding talent across different academic disciplines, despite their young age. Students will be aged between 15 and 17, and will receive classes in modern Spanish and EU history, cultural diversity, economy and art history in the mornings, led by IE University, together with a daily Spanish class. The afternoons will comprise three seminars focused on law and capital punishment, literature and censorship, and media arts, led by Brown University professors Corey Brettschneider, Allison Brettschneider and Ed Osborn, respectively.
"The thing that is so interesting about this program is that students learn by working in a relaxed and pleasant environment, using the same methodology that they will find at university" explained Miguel Larrañaga, Vice Rector for Institutional Relations at IE University and one of the professors that will be taking part in the project. Other IE professors include José María de Areilza, Dean of IE Law School and Director of the Jean Monnet-IE Chair, and Begoña González Cuesta, Director of the Degree in Communication. During their time in Spain the students will also get to visit Madrid, Cordoba, Seville and Barcelona, with a view to getting a feel for Spanish and European culture. Programmed activities include visits to museums like the Esteban Vicente museum, the Prado, and the Reina Sofia.
Brown University's program director, Yolanda Castillo Appollonio, feels that "the most interesting aspect is that participants will be tackling a broad and highly diverse range of subjects that will help them to develop a better idea of the direction they want their university studies to take", while Elena Lledó, academic coordinator of the Brown University study program, added that "These are forward-looking students who view the future from a highly professional perspective, guided by experienced and competent professors".

IE University has created a Facebook application called "Trivia Challenge" , to enable internet users to gauge their knowledge about biology, architecture, communication, law, art history, psychology and tourism. The aim is to provide a fun way for young people, for whom new technologies and internet are a way of life, to get to know more about the different subjects taught at the IE University campus.
The application presents users with a challenge: it poses trivia-style questions that are divided into four levels, each of which represents a year of university studies. Each level comprises eight questions related to the different degrees at IE University. The aim of the game is to answer as many questions as possible correctly to get a score that will get you onto the "most knowledgeable" list.
IE University is firmly committed to the new environment based on social networks and the application of technologies to education. It sees social networks as a powerful tool for connecting with students, which is why you can find IE University on all key networking sites, including Youtube, Tuenti, Facebook, Myspace and Flickr.
IE University also recently launched a mobile site that permits thousands of mobile users to access the internet and interact through its portal at http://ie.yoc.com, where people can find information on the University, its bachelor programs, social networks and a strategy game.

Rectors from universities worldwide attending the international conference on 'Reinventing Higher Education', held at IE University's Segovia campus, agreed that internationalization is essential for institutions that want to be at the leading edge of new university models which respond to the needs of a globalized world driven by technology. Attendees included rectors and presidents of universities, as well as media groups and businesses, from China, US, UK, Germany, Italy, Hungary, France, Finland, Mexico, Colombia and Spain.
The objective of the conference, the only one of its kind in Europe, was to discuss change and improvement in university education in the face of globalization and new management models. Participating academics included the Vice-chancellor of Leeds University, Michael Arthur, who shared with attendees the strategic map of this prestigious university; Carlos Cruz Limón, Vice-President of Tecnológico de Monterrey; Werner Muller-Esterl, President of University of Frankfurt (Germany); Massimo Egidi, Rector of LUISS Guido Carli University (Italy); and Zhongming Wang, Rector of Zhejiang University Business School (China).
These experts concurred that it is now impossible to imagine a university that was not international. They pointed to a need to accelerate the transformation of universities by opening up new alliances among institutions worldwide, strengthening research and the exchange of knowledge, promoting international networks, and fostering the mobility of students and professors.
The experts also agreed on the importance of providing universities with greater autonomy and better training programs for managers, and they also stressed the need to attend to the demands of society by making a commitment to meet corporate needs, which is a vital part of university education.
Further subjects for debate at the IE University conference included the globalization of future professionals, the classroom revolution resulting from new technologies, the new student profile, trans-border mobility, the funding and management of institutions, and relations between universities and the corporate world. There was particular emphasis on the role of governments and new players in educational policymaking, the change in learning processes with the advent of new technological tools, the new generation of students, --digital natives—who are now arriving at university with new skills and attitudes, and the reinvention of the figure of professor.
Finally, participants discussed the important role of rankings in gauging the quality of universities, of alternative sources of income and how universities now serve as catalysts for innovation in collaboration with business organizations.

On May 3rd and 4th 2010, IE University will host at its Segovia campus an international conference on higher education entitled "Reinventing Higher Education". This event will gather chancellors, university presidents, representatives of different media and companies from different continents who are leaders in the transformation of the University of the 21st century.
During two days Segovia will become a world forum for the innovation of higher education. Discussions will be held on topics such as the globalization of future professionals, the role of new technologies in the classroom, the new student profile, the cross cultural movement, university financing and management, university-business relationships, and "better practices".
This pioneering event will bring together experts from international institutions at the forefront of university development who will exchange their views on the future of universities worldwide.
On May 3rd, IE University will host a round-table discussion that will bring together chancellors of public and private universities of Castilla y León in order to analyze international strategies that will contribute to make Castilla y León an international reference in higher education.

Hamilton > Recreation > Movies > Movie Ratings Systems
FoundLocally believes that parents should have access to the best information about the movies their children see.
Advisories enable parents to decide just what kind of entertainment content their kids may (or may not) see. Because we do movie listings for cities in several provinces, we see both the ratings (G, PG, 14A...) and the advisories from over 2100 screens in movie theatres from coast to coast.
We consider the theatres published advisory and combine the strictest comments recommended by the various provincial film review boards. We've noticed that some provinces are more concerned about sexual content, some foul language, others violence, while another targets intolerance. Not all cinemas publish advisories, especially after a film has been out for awhile.
While some parents may be concerned about all of the above, while others may (based on the age and maturity of their children) feel that some of these elements may be acceptable or appropriate. We let YOU make the decision!
Here is a summary of the different film ratings used:
Rating Shown
Suitable for all audiences including young children
Suitable for young children with parents in attendance (ie, slight violence in a fairy tale)
14 Years, PA
Children must be over 14 years (more real violence, some mature themes)
18 Adult, AA
Those over 18 or adult-accompanied teens may attend (more violence, adult relationships portrayed)
Must be over 18 years, ID checked (graphic depictions of violence and sex)

Re: Late payments after charge-off
Hi Tuscani,
Just following up:
In my email dated 7/6/07 @ 9:25am I explained how Fair Isaac added those recent dates of being 90 days late on the myFICO Experian report (whereas Experian directly does not show those recent dates).
In your email dated 7/6/07 @ 1:23pm you mentioned that Fair Isaac cannot add information, but that you were going to look into this.
Just checking to see if you've gotten any feedback about this? Thanks Tuscani.

Fifteen years ago, a U.S. high school diploma was a ticket to the middle class. No longer. The skills required to earn a decent income have changed radically. The skills taught in most U.S. schools have not. Today the average 30-year-old person with a high school diploma earns $20,200, and the nation faces a future of growing inequality and division. Teaching the New Basic Skills shows how to avoid such a future.
We all know about losing jobs to China, but what about losing jobs to the microchip? In Dancing with Robots, Frank Levy and Richard Murnane show that the pressure on the middle class workforce in America has as much to do with the technology revolution and computerization of tasks as with global forces like China. The authors argue that the challenge we face with computerized work is not mass unemployment, but rather educating far more young people for the higher wage jobs that computers cannot do—writing a convincing legal brief or diagnosing an automotive problem the factory ha
The Spring 2013 issue of DUSP's Environmental Policy and Planning Newsletter is now available.

Comments about Duke Blue Devils Women's Open Field Halter Top - Duke Blue:
I purchased this halter top for the football game opener. I knew it would be hot and so I wanted something cool. This halter top is absolutely gorgeous. I received a lot of compliments. I thought for sure I would see a lot of other women with it on and to my surprise, I did not. This is a must buy - great quality too!

I'd like to call it "Dirty Harry for a new generation", but it's not for a new generation. It's not really an update or a reboot either. It's Dirty Harry told as a story for the last 40 years and just put to film now. Worth a watch, good early foray into drama by Amazon Studios. (Now if they would just finish filming The Man in the High Castle!)
Short Movie Review: Lucy
A sci-fi premise so dumb and poorly conceived it could be a Matrix sequel.
100 Mile Hike – 2015 Life Goal
In 2013, a buddy and I kayaked across Lake Michigan to North Manitou Island, which I'll write about at some point. I've been looking for a new personal accomplishment since then, but unlike some of my friends, solo kayaking in deep water isn't really my idea of a relaxing time.
I love being on the island, and I had originally played with the idea of doing a solo week there with a lazy lap around the island. People have done longer trips there for sure, but how many people have done more than one night out in the wilderness by themselves? A week alone on an island would certainly be an accomplishment.
I want to go in the spring before the weather gets too hot and the insects too large. The ferry will only run if there are enough people to make the trip worthwhile, and only if the water is fairly calm. The shipwrecks around the island can attest to how temperamental the Great Lakes can be. I don't want to take the risk of being stuck on the island longer than planned, especially when carrying only the bare minimum of food to save weight. What about the same experience without the ferry?
So I decided that I would do a week in a forest on the mainland. Michigan has a ton of public forest land. If I'm going to spend a week in the forest, I may as well spend that week hiking and get a little taste of what I would experience on the Appalachian Trail (one of my life goals). I think 100 miles in a week is a difficult but attainable goal, and an accomplishment not many people can claim, especially with how sedentary our country is. I certainly don't know of anyone personally that have done a hike of this length. So that's my goal for this year.
Short Movie Review: The Guest
It's Bourne as a horror movie and without the international intrigue and budget. Very enjoyable as a rental.
Side note: The Blackwater types should know better than to all run out of ammo at the same time. You can't maintain cover fire if everyone is reloading.
Side note 2: Hilariously inappropriate time to play a Stevie B song, I'm going to have to watch more of this guy's movies.
Evil Genius
Evil Genius is one of the few games I'll dust off every couple of years and play again. There aren't very many games where you can play the bad guy, and I love base building type games. I remember when it was first announced on Gamespot, and I anxiously followed its development over the years. It's by no means fully polished, there are a few errors and glitches, but that rarely detracts from the experience. However, they can screw up your gameplay occasionally.
In Evil Genius, you play as a Bond-esque bad guy, intent on world domination. The world is divided into 5 Get Smart inspired regions, each with their own acronym and super agent, and each super agent has a weakness to exploit in order to get rid of them for good. The super agent for the greater China/SE Asia region is a martial artist, and in order to get rid of him you need to interrogate his master to find out what his weakness is.
In order to interrogate the master, you send out your minions into the world and have them do a mission to kidnap the master. They will then bring him back to your island and place him in the depot, waiting for your other minions to pick him up and move him to a jail cell. However, in my game the minion tasked with picking him up glitched and just sat there stuttering. Like any good evil genius, I executed him for his insubordination, expecting another minion to carry out those instructions. I guess the game engine never expected the minion tasked with picking up the master would ever get killed or executed or be otherwise occupied.
So what do I do now? Like any good geek, I hacked the save game file. An 87,000 line behemoth of a text file. Finding the area of the file that describes the object for the master was trivial, he was the only object with "master" in its name. But is the location line above the name or below it the proper location? I did a search on each location to see what I could see, and boom, the location line above matched the location of an object called "depot". Now the question is where to put him… I could easily beam him into a wall like that one episode of ST:TNG ("The Pegasus", S07E12 in case you want to look for it). The solution? Look up the location of one of my henchmen (which was easy to search for) and put him down in the same spot. Viola, I'm back in business.
As an aside, I would have posted this on the Evil Genius Chat forums, but phpBB doesn't make it easy to retrieve a forgotten account (you have to remember your login as well as your email address), and the registration process is a little bit of a pain when you're spoiled by "Log in with FB/Twitter/G+".

Resistance to "The Star-Spangled Banner" also flared among blacks, pacifists, and advocates of temperance.
More importantly, Longworth viewed wine as a critical piece of the temperance movement.
mid-14c., "self-restraint, moderation," from Anglo-French temperaunce (mid-13c.), from Latin temperantia "moderation," from temperans, present participle of temperare "to moderate" (see temper). Latin temperantia was used by Cicero to translate Greek sophrosyne "moderation." In English, temperance was used to render Latin continentia or abstinentia, specifically in reference to drinking alcohol and eating; hence by early 1800s it came to mean "abstinence from alcoholic drink."
temperance tem·per·ance (těm'pər-əns, těm'prəns)
Moderation and self-restraint, as in behavior or expression.
Restraint in the use of or abstinence from alcoholic liquors.

It is so sad to hear about all the British tourists who were massacred on the beach whilst on holiday in Tunisia. It makes it difficult to want to go there. However if we don't the country will crumble and IS will take over. I don't even fancy the thought of visiting Turkey at the moment. I actually had an awful feeling this year that something like that would happen in Turkey. I'd love to go back to Egypt one day but it wasn't safe when we went the last time. There were no American tourists and little or no security at the attractions. We got armed security on our last stop on the Nile Cruise. I don't think I could depend my life on them.
I recently signed up to this as it looked like an interesting idea. You pay so much a month and you get a box of ingredients with 3 delicious recipies each week. It's been advertised so much in the UK and probably in America too. I've now moved from apprentice chef to sous chef. The meals are quick and easy to make and taste so good. I opted for the vegetarian meals and they have been amazing. Has anyone else signed up to this?
Sarah :-)
It has been such a busy year. I'm so glad the holiday's are here.
Today I was moving everything in the kids garden. All the nursery equipment is safely stored inside and all the potted vegetables and plants are all moved into a hopefully secure location. Seems so crazy to have to move all that stuff but it all totals up and I'm not having the vandals wrecking it all for the kids this year.
Now what to do in my long holiday.... :-)
So I completed my half marathon at the Edinburgh Marathon Festival yesterday in 2hrs 7 mins. Not too bad for my first time. I made a mistake not having a bath last night as today's movements have been restricted. I've been hobbling about and stairs are just awful. I guess it's funny to watch. My colleagues have been having a good laugh but they are proud of me.
I do often get annoyed at myself for being this way but I am petrified of spiders. However, I'm getting a little better in dealing with the small ones but the large ones are just out of the question. So today I opened up the garden storage box to get a bag of compost as the nursery children are going to be planting sunflowers tomorrow. So I look up and on the inside of the storage box is this big egg sac. Like 2cm in diameter. Next to it this giant spider. I totally freaked. It's honestly the worst thing I've ever seen. So my anxiety levels were through the roof. No idea what I'm going to do as honestly I can't remove it. So frustrating that im like this. I'm either going to have to ask a neighbour or phone pest control as if that hatches out it would be like an infestation. I don't like to kill things. I just want it removed and placed a million miles away.
Does anyone one else have any frustrating phobias?
Sarah :-0
So I've been training for the 10 mile Edinburgh Great Run again to raise money for Pancreatic Cancer which will take place this Sunday. I'm actually doing two runs for that charity. The other will be a half marathon in May. So I've been going out on a lot of long haul runs. However today I had my first fall. Skint my hands and leg and my arms are sort of hurt with the impact especially my left elbow. I manned up and kept going. It could have been worse. A friend of mine fell off her bike a couple of weeks ago and she was telling me the first thing she did was to check and hope nobody saw her and secondly check that her phone was working. I had to laugh as I pretty much did the same thing. Priorities right? Lol
Anyway hopefully there will be no falls on Sunday.
Sarah :-)
1. Don't put drugs in women's drinks.
2. When you see a woman walking by herself, leave her alone.
3. If you pull over to help a woman whose car has broken down, remember not to rape her.
4. If you are in an elevator and a women gets in, don't rape her.
5. When you encounter a woman who is asleep, the safest course of action is to not rape her.
6. Never creep into a woman's home through an unlocked door or window, or spring out at her from between parked cars, or rape her.
7. Remember, people go to the laundry room to do their laundry. Do not attempt to molest someone who is alone in a laundry room.
8. Use the Buddy System! If it is inconvenient for you to stop yourself from raping women, ask a trusted friend to accompany you at all times.
9. Carry a rape whistle. If you find that you are about to rape someone, blow the whistle until someone comes to stop you.
10. Dont forget: Honesty is the best policy. When asking a woman out on a date, don't pretend that you are interested in her as a person; tell her straight up that you expect to be raping her later. If you don't communicate your intentions, the woman may take it as a sign that you do not plan to rape her.
I saw this above on a FB post. It was basically a response about a poster campaign the police had launched for women to stay safe. It was quite dramatic as it asked. Which one of your friends is most vulnerable on a night out? However, it was just highlighting the importance of staying safe. Don't wonder off on your own or leave with a stranger. I guess it was an interesting perspective.
I've started watching this program as I kept hearing it was brilliant. It's very addictive. I've watched the first 3 series in about 2-3 weeks. Now I'm onto series 4. I have to say I look away at the brutal parts or suddenly decide it's time to make a cup of tea. Lol Does anyone else watch this program?
An Auntie. Yes I shall be auntie Sarah. I've known for a while but can now officially say. Soo excited!!
I went to see the Banff Mountain Film Festival today. It was amazing! Well worth going to see. It's basically these short film created around mountains. From extreme sports to moving short films. My favourite was called "Tashi and the Monk." It was about a little orphan girl named Tashi who lived at this orphanage in the hills of the Himalayas run by a Buddhist monk. It showed you her journey from a disturbed naughty girl. Her mother died, her father was a severe alcoholic and she would get into fights. She was emotionally broken. This monk was helping to give her and the other children the skills to be good citizens. It really was a moving story. So much so it got me thinking -what an amazing experience it would be to perhaps go over there one summer and help teach the children at the orphanage. I voted for this film on the Banff website. I do hope the film will encourage people to donate to this orphanage. If you want to check out the trailer to the film you just need to search Tashi and the Monk or book up to go see the Festival as it tours across the world.
I went to see this show a few weeks ago and I have to say it is one of the best musicals. It is well worth going to see. Amazing songs, fantastic props and gorgeous costumes. I would love to be one of the dancers on that show in the Emerald city scene.
Well my big brother is going to be 40 in October and he is going over to NYC to celebrate (Jealous Much). So I've been thinking of giving him a gift related to that. I was thinking on the lines of booking a meal for him and his wife at a really nice restaurant. Would be great to go for somewhere amazing that has a spectacular view. Something really special. Any recommendations? Or if not that any experiences days or tours you recommend.? I know there are loads of websites related to this but it is better getting the opinion of locals. Budget wise as I'm just a teacher- £200 so think that's around $300. Well according to google.
The other week I took part in this run called- Colour Me RAD. Basicially the run involved being sprayed with powdered colour so by the end of the run you are a bit like a rainbow. I have to say it was a good laugh and all for a good cause.
I also got nominated for the ice bucket challenge which I completed earlier this week. I now have the cold. Boo!
Every time I look at the news lately I keep asking myself what is happening to this world. Seems like humanity is falling apart. So much violence and destruction and for what gain? I really do feel sorry for the innocent people caught up in all this mess. Makes you realise how lucky we really are. The troubles we have home in the UK or in the USA are nothing in comparison to what others have to deal with. Puts things into perspective.
Happy Birthday!!!!! :-)
Have a Great Day!!!! :-)
So I was at my school the other day to do a bit of organisation before the term starts up again. I heard some sad news that the benches in the playground even those welded down were stolen. The games vandalised, plants pulled up. I dread to think what they have done to the pots and plants planted by the kids gardening club. Most likely smashed to pieces.
It is just so sad. The kids playground will be empty and bare once again. I just can't understand why people would want to destroy something nice within their own community. The children suffer at the end of the day.
So it will be back to fundraising again for equipment. Back to hard work to restore it all again.
I've not read the book but recently watched the film. It is the story of an adopted girl in Germany durring WW2. Well worth a view.
So this weekend my big brother will be getting married in Sweden. Very excited! I'm looking forward to meeting my extended family. It's a sign of growing up all this marriage business. Time needs to slow down just a little bit
Has anyone else seen this film? I thought it was brilliant! So sad too. I had the desperpate need to watch Mary Poppins after. Lets go fly a kite...
I was just watching this Ross Kemp documentary about witchcraft in Africa and it was truly shocking. In a specific area in Kenya there is a high number of Albinos and they are being targeted for medicine. Body parts or the whole body. It is just awful. There was this teenage girl without an arm recovering but in fear of returning home in case she is attacked again.
We complain about things in our every day lives but it make our issues so trivial when you think about people living in fear like that. The problem is in Kenya, little is being done as witchcraft is believed by so many. Even those right at the top who can afford such awful medicines.
I thought I'd post this in a blog as you never know who might read this. Maybe someone who has connections or the ability to make this issue known more widely. Maybe someone who can help. A massive task but we have to start somewhere...

Manto is the Pirates hitting coach for those who may not know.
LINKFor starters, Manto is no fan of on-base percentage, partly because he believes its emphasis on walks does not take into account that a base-on-balls is not always a desired or productive result.
While dismissing runs created, Manto offered his own statistical category: "runs produced" -- measured by adding runs and RBI, subtracting home runs from that total and dividing that number by games played.
"It's as important as on-base percentage," Manto said, "because it is a tremendous evaluator of who is a total offensive player."
Adhering to Manto's formula, it should also come as no surprise that Bay (1.12) and Sanchez (1.07) rank as the Pirates' top total offensive players.
"Those two guys excel at scoring runs and knocking them in," Manto said.
Bay's 57 extra-base hits and Sanchez's 54 were most among Pirates prior to last night.
"Somehow, some way, you have to get to second base," said Manto. "That's why, to me, on-base percentage doesn't mean a lot for an individual player ... I mean, it's great to get on base, but does the player get to second or beyond and score runs? If not, what good is him just getting on base?"

2009 Capital One Bowl
Georgia (9-3) vs. Michigan State (9-3)
Jan. 1, 1:00 p.m. ET, ABC
$4.25 million Location: Florida Citrus Bowl Stadium,
Orlando FL
2009 Capital One 2009 Bowl
Player Profiles, Histories, & More
Finish the drill.
That's always been the mantra
under Georgia head coach Mark
Richt, but his program hasn't
been able to do that. Tennessee
got a national title in the last
decade, Florida is in its third
championship game in the last
three years, LSU has two
national championships in the
last five years, and Alabama
appears almost certain to win
one in the near future. This was
supposed to be Georgia's turn at
After a demolition of Hawaii in
the 2008 Sugar Bowl and with a
slew of stars returning, led by
Detroit Lion-in-waiting, QB
Matthew Stafford, and
near-certain first round draft
pick, RB Matthew Stafford, this
was the preseason No. 1 team in
the country in what turned out
to be a down year for the SEC.
Instead, Georgia lost to the
three strong teams it faced,
Florida, Alabama and Georgia
Tech, with a defensive meltdown
in each one, and now this
appears to be the last hurrah
for a team and a program seeing
its window of opportunity slam
depressingly shut, at least for
the near future.
Oh sure, Georgia will always
have good teams under Richt, but
this was it. This was the year,
and it turned out to be Florida
and Alabama's year. Those two
aren't going anywhere, while Ole
Miss and Arkansas are
interesting programs rising up
in the West. The SEC might not
ever again have a year when LSU,
Tennessee and Auburn are all so
mediocre. So while a ten-win
season and a New Year's Day win
is never anything to dismiss, it
might seem a bit empty in the
final analysis.
On the opposite side is Michigan
State, a team without any real
expectations of contending for
the Big Ten title, at least by
anyone outside of East Lansing,
and with a shot to take a huge
leap forward in the Mark
Dantonio era. There have been
far, far more talented Spartan
teams than this one over the
last 15 years, but none have
been able to maximize their
talent like this one.
RB Javon Ringer is a special
back, and there are some
big-time players here and there,
but the Spartans don't do any
one thing well. This is an
above-average team that beat all
the average teams on the
schedule, the best win came at
home against Iowa, and lost to
the three really good teams
(Cal, Ohio State and Penn
State). Sound familiar? Georgia
and Michigan State might be more
similar than they appear.
While it's easy to dismiss
Michigan State's wins, it's not
like Georgia has beaten anyone
with a pulse outside of, maybe,
LSU, and this Tiger team is a
shell of the national title
powerhouse of last year. It's
not Georgia's fault that Arizona
State stunk or that Auburn was
awful, but there were too many
close wins over too many
mediocre teams. No, the winner
of this game won't be a sham
10-win team, but the loser will
have to look back on its season
and wonder what it was really
able to accomplish.
For Georgia, take out a
mystifying first half in the
2006 Sugar Bowl loss to West
Virginia and this has been one
of the best bowl teams in recent
years with nine wins in the last
11. While history is on
Georgia's side, Capital One Bowl
history isn't with the Big Ten
winning the last four, often in
stunning fashion. Whether it was
the performance by Michigan to
hold off Tim Tebow and Florida
last year, the fumble return for
a score to lead Penn State over
Tennessee in 2007, or the
miracle Drew Tate pass to lead
Iowa to a last second win over
LSU in 2005, the Big Ten has
represented itself well.
Michigan State has lost its last
two bowls and hasn't won one
since beating Fresno State in
something called the Silicon
Valley Classic back in 2001.
Players to watch:
This is the best matchup of
running backs of the bowl season
with Javon Ringer and
Knowshon Moreno each needing
big final games to show off for
the NFL scouts. Ringer wasn't
supposed to be a workhorse or a
goal line back, but he carried
the ball a whopping 370 times
for 1,590 yards and 21 scores
despite getting little support
from the passing game. He's a
speed back who could be used as
a return man and a third down
back at the next level, while
Moreno has special NFL feature
back type of talent. It's no
coincidence that he was held to
under 100 yards in the three
losses as the offense had to
bomb its way to keep up, but
when he's rolling, the offense
is unstoppable. A third-year
sophomore, he'll be one of the
leaders in the 2009 Heisman
chase if he chooses to come
back, but he was ready to turn
pro last year.
Also ready for the next level is
Matthew Stafford, the
rare NFL passing quarterback in
a day and age of spread players
the scouts don't know what to do
with. The disappointing season
was hardly Stafford's fault as
he came up with a brilliant
season throwing for 3,209 yards
and 22 touchdowns with just nine
interceptions. He threw for 407
yards and five scores in the
loss to Georgia Tech and was
decent against Alabama, but his
three interceptions against
Florida proved costly. Even so,
with his size, arm, intangibles
and attitude, he's Matt Ryan
with an even better arm.
Lost in the Stafford's spotlight
is Michigan State senior QB
Brian Hoyer, a decent
veteran who had a strangely bad
year. He came up with some of
the big throws needed to pull
out a few games, like the
miracle against Wisconsin, but
he only threw for 2,235 yards
and nine touchdowns with eight
interceptions, including four
picks in the last two games. To
be fair, it's not like he has
Charles Rogers and Andre Rison
to throw to, but he's going to
have to prove early on that he's
able to get the passing game
going or else Georgia will throw
everyone at Ringer.
Georgia will win if...
Moreno and running mate Caleb
King control the game from
the start. Michigan State's run
defense wasn't awful this year,
but it gave up big yards to the
teams, like Wisconsin, who could
pound the ball. Ohio State ran
for 216 yards and three
touchdowns and Jahvid Best led
Cal to 230 yards in the
season-opener. Penn State ran
effectively, but it spent most
of its time throwing at will on
the MSU secondary. Stafford and
his excellent receiving corps
can certainly win this game
through the air, but the Dawgs
likely can't win if the running
game is shut down.
Michigan State will win if...
the defensive front can control
the game. This isn't an elite
pass rushing force, but the
Spartans haven't been bad at
making plays behind the line and
they get streaky when it comes
to hitting the quarterback. The
Georgia offensive line has
overcome injuries to have a
great year, and Stafford is
excellent at getting the ball
out of his hands early, but MSU
has to get creative to make sure
the Dawg offense is out of its
rhythm. If Stafford gets time …
ball game. If Moreno gets
consistent holes to dart through
… ball game. If star MSU LB
Greg Jones and future pro
safety Otis Wiley are
making all the plays, this could
be ugly.
What will happen:
Georgia will play like the
preseason No. 1 team in the
country. After the Georgia Tech
loss, motivation is hardly a
problem for a team that's so
good in bowl games under Richt.
MSU will try to get creative
with passing game, but it'll
have to lean on the crutch that
is Ringer; it won't be enough.
Stafford is a special player
who'll show off why he's such a
hot prospect with a coldly
efficient game to balance out a
125-yard day from Moreno.
Georgia will pull away in the
fourth quarter to make the final
score uglier than the game will
Line: Georgia -7.5
... CFN Prediction:
Georgia 34 … Michigan State

Will this work with iPhone 3G?
TomTom Announces Turn-by-Turn GPS Navigation for iPhone 3.0
It was a long time coming, but as part of yesterday's WWDC Keynote, TomTom co-founder Peter-Frans Pauwels demonstrated their company's solution to turn-by-turn GSP navigation for iPhone 3.0, and interestingly, it comes in two parts:
The TomTom navigation application for iPhone; an Apple version of TomTom's award-winning turn-by-turn navigation software, including IQ Routes and latest maps from Tele Atlas;
The TomTom car kit for iPhone; a specially developed car kit for secure docking, enhanced GPS performance, clear voice instructions, hands-free calling and in-car charging.
No word on pricing or availability yet, though it will be at some point later this summer, after the iPhone 3.0 release on June 17.
Was it worth the wait, and what kind of pricing are you anticipating (or hoping for)?

TomTom Announces Turn-by-Turn GPS Navigation for iPhone 3.0
If Apple made the software I would say it would be possible that it would only work on the 3GS but it isn't. It would be very bad business practice to limit your customer base to just the 3GS.
If I had to guess a price I would say $99.99. If I had to wise for a price I would say $75.99. :)
If they were market savvy then..I'd say $19.99. There are over 40,000,000 iPhone/iPod touch owners. Plus, most smart phones come with GPS turn by turn for free. They will make millions if they make it affordable.
It's 3G alright, the new OS will allow app makers to use GPS and maps to allow them to create this kind of program.
I would say $20 sounds about right. If it's any more, people might not buy it just because the thought of an app that is that expensive will scare people away. I know some people who refuse to buy 99 cent apps.
I definitely need this though because with my GPS going on 3 years old, it's time for an upgrade.
I'm ready. I agree with others it will be expensive. Since it kinda competes with their standalone devices. But yet they probably don't want to price it too high, I'm sure they would want to have it on every iPhone out there. So, I'm guessing $50-75.
My only disappointment is the car adapter looks like it will only work with naked iPhones. I used to run naked, but now I really like my iSkin solo. Here's to hoping they make an adapter for iPhones in cases.
I have a feeling it will be subscription based
I will buy this whatever the price! One less thing to drag around in my work bag! I have a TomTom 310 XL now and like it especially the new mount system with it but will gladly ditch it for this if it works. The mount looks sweet on this one too. The 310 does not require any subscription, btw. Voice dial and voice itunes taboot!
I wonder if this will only work on the 3GS because of the inclusion of the digital compass. Also wonder if it will need to download TomTom maps (which will take up a lot of memory) but I guess that is the only way to do it without needing a constant data stream as the Google Map App needs. Speaking of which...I wonder how long before Google comes out with an integrated turn-by-turn direction service? they seem to stick their nose into everything else (ie photos storage, email, IM, books, browser, etc).
As far as price...gotta be at least $49.99 (never a nice clean number like $50!) but I wonder if they are going to bundle a redemption code with the cradle and charge owners more. Would suck but I wonder.
will it have voice cues? I am currently using G-Maps which was $20 (west coast only) and I absolutely love it, my only 2 complaints are 1) no landscape mode (which TomTom obviously has) and 2) no voice cues so i have to constantly look at it to make sure i havent passed my turn.
I would pay no more than $59.99 for this but hope its cheaper.
@Chad, G-Maps DOES work in airplane mode so I dont see why TomToms would not.
Let's see! The iPhone's the hardware already, so all you need is the software and a jazzy in car holder. The basic GPS unit in Australia start from $99, yes not as good as Tom Tom I'm sure, but still good enough to do the job. GPS software from Tom Tom will surely be around AU$49.95 - $79.95. Phone companies here want a piece of the pie so the holder I'm thinking around AU$59.95 - $89.95. If that's the case, that would be a NO from me. Hoping they surprise me with a better deal.
Im surprised how many people think this might not work with the 3G. As Icebike and Eric said, yes it will. Wasn't that one if the big reasons for the 3.0 update?
Re: Telenav, they're supposed to be releasing an official statement re: the iPhone soon.
A lot. G-Map takes up almost a gig. That's why I don't mind OTA data stream (ala Telenav or Google Maps) although problems would arise if you couldn't get a data signal (in the middle of the desert, for example).
I was wondering about incoming calls too, as far as pricing it would have to be a real sweet number ($50) for this to work. I just bought a tomtom 130s on sale at best buy for $119. It works nice and i love the text-to-speech. I have a fear that this unit will be close to $100 making a purchase not the most wise vs. entry level stand alone GPS units for your wallet.
I'm guessing about $20 for the software, and maybe another $20-$30 for the cradle. Any more than $50 and I'll take a pass. BTW, I assume that the software could work on its own with the phone and without the cradle when needed? Any thoughts on that?
Yep. The software works independently just fine. The extra TomTom accessories (dock, etc) are optional.
but isn't the dock/window mount also a charger? I wonder how long your battery would last without? you might not make it out of state before the battery dies. Short summer vacation :)
Simply put if tomtom makes this too affordable they might lose some business, considering everyone and their mommy will have an 8GB iphone @ $99. They have to make it semi close to their entry level GPS device. My guess is $75-$100 all included.
I didn't say the app would run for hours before the battery croaks; all I was saying was this will be a fully-featured GPS system on your phone which won't require any additional hardware to work. :). A car charger is a must for any GPS app.
I agree with you on price too. So it bears repeating, folks: G-Map East/West is only $25 and it will essentially have the same basic features as TomTom (voice guidance, etc). Dammit, I'm dying to hear Telenav's "iPhone announcement."
As reported elsewhere, Navigon has also thrown their hats into the iphone GPS sweepstakes:
Look Everyone the Price will be $100 US.
That is the Price that TOM TOM Navigator for WM and Garmin Mobile XT for WM & BB sell for.
TomTom, Garmin, etc are all basically giving you the hardware today for free. I have using WM Nav software for over 5 years: Iguiadance, TomTom, Co Pilot, NavMan Destinator etc. And every package has been betwenn $100-$150. A Huge Portion of the Fee goes to Pay for the Map License from Tele Atlas or Navteq.
Map Updates alone for PND's have been from $50 to $100.
Also remember that this will be a connected Device...meaning Traffic, Gas Prices, Online POI look ups.
You can either use Junky ATT Televanv and pay $10 a month or Pay $100 onetime.
Enough Said.
What does it mean that the car kit will have "enhanced GPS performance"? Does that mean that there will be a true, sattelite GPS chip in the mount, thereby adding true, sattelite GPS to the iPhone? Or does it just mean something lame like it will be easier to navigate since your iPhone will be suction-cupped to the window rather than in your hand?
i should think tomtom will release the app in the app store for whatever price... then they will sell the maps on top of that using the new in-app purchase feature of 3.0 and then obviously you will have to buy the carkit.. the uk and ireland map for tomtom go at the moment is £40 so maby we will be seeing a new wave of more expensive apps? its hard to give an estimate on how much the app will cost.. the more expensive ones on the app store atm are roughly about £5.99 ($10ish).. the car kit i should think will be about £30 so were looking at £70-£100 ($115-$170) for the whole lot.. but then that seems a bit expensive.. personally i cant wait for the app to come out (and for 3.0)..
Hi Fred, wait untill you see the final features of the tomtom's car kit, we may be lucky and the FM transmitter is also included on the carkit.
Well, at least is what this blog says:http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/tomtom-car-kit-iphone-3g-s-3g-p20358.htm
Ok by far if Tom Tom has the application for one small fee they will get so much money it will not be funny. It would also be nice to see them beat AT&T with their free (paid application) for the navigation which people are saying is worse than google maps and it costs 10$ a month. If this app costs 20$ many people will join in however monthly harge is just a turn off ( huge one to be exact)
Why would you pay anything over $99 for this? When you can get a really good dedicated one for around $149 with optional subscription fees. I see fees stacked on top of this thing.
Iphone - $30 data plan ($360 per year)
GPS Unit - $ 200
GPS App - $ 19.99
Bullshit AT&T GPS for Iphone - $5.00 per year
I bought the Navigon GPS software for $79.99 off the app store. I already has the Gokivo app, but that required a $9.99 per month fee to use the turn by turn features AND it still required an always on internet connection for some of the features, and when you get out of cell signal range or are stuck in flakey EDGE areas, that becomes a problem.
Personally, $80-$100 for an app like this (Navigon is 1.5 Gigs of mapping data) is very reasonable considering the amount of work that went into not only the software but the data.
I barely use GPS more than 3 times a month, if that, so Gokivo would have been a waste of money. With Navigon, or any other non-subscription based, pay once always have it Turn-By-Turn app, I really do save money in the long run.
As Tomtom have already released the software for the iphone, I realy think they should be cosidering the release of the holder onto the market ASAP. Any delays and I'm sure our Chinese friends will work it out and release their own version (guaranteed to be a lot cheaper).....and who can blame them. The race is on!!
The TomTom app does NOT work properly on the 3G. I can;t speak for the 3GS or the new iPhone 4. It is completely crap and useless as a standalone app for the old 3G. I wasted $100 on this when it came out. It rarely knows where you are, and certainly can never tell the DIRECTION you are going in. I don't know if the compass in the 3GS makes any difference to this?

Pentax launches Optio T30 and Optio M30
Pentax has released two new compact cameras, the Optio T30 and the Optio M30, both 7.1MP models, with the former boasting slightly better specifications than the other.
Both feature Pentax "Digital SR", what the company calls "Shake Reduction", but which actually compensates for low light situations by boosting the ISO to a maximum of 3200, but does not activate any mechanical image stabilisation.
Both models also feature Face Recognition AF and AE, whereby the camera searches for faces in the frame and focuses on them, as well as ensuring exposure is set optimally.
The T30 has a big 3-inch LCD monitor at the back that is touch-sensitive and has a My Drawing mode that lets you use a stylus to draw on the screen to illustrate or annotate images. It comes with 19MB of built in memory, and will retail for £200.
The slightly more basic M30 is ultra-slim, measuring just 18mm, has a 3x zoom, 21MB of memory, and will be on sale for £140.
