Mobile Phone Tips and Tricks Find your phone, and make it work for you! As mobile phone usage continues to increase, we're seeing astronomical leaps in the number of things you can do beyond making a phone call. Use this guide as your introduction into the wild world of mobile technology. Choosing a Phone Mobile technology is like the Wild West: a free-for-all between the hardware, the optional soft- ware, and the service plans, with few standards between them. As you work to make sense of the hundreds of available options, it's a good idea to keep these things in mind: Features: Which mobile add-ons are absolutely essential? Would you prefer a full Web browser? How about downloadable applications? Would you like to listen to music or watch video on your phone? Or do you just want something that makes calls? Each of these factors can play a part in the type of phone and network you shop for. Network: Each wireless provider has its own strengths and weak- nesses in terms of its coverage area, variety of phones offered, and track record for customer service. No one plan is perfect, so it's a good idea to shop around to see which one will give you the most bang for your buck. Price/Service Plan: Most mobile providers will offer a considerable discount on the phone itself if you agree to a contract. Make sure to add up the costs - including extra features like text messaging and Internet access - to make sure you can make the commitment. If you're unsure about signing up for such a contract, you may want to consider a pay-as-you-go option. While this limits your options in terms of the available phones, the ability to forgo any extra strings may be worth it. Ratings and Reviews: www.phonescoop.com and www.phonearea.com are constantly updated with news and product reviews.Phonescoop even has a "Phone Finder," which can present you with a list of phones based on your chosen options. In print, Consumer Reports just did a fairly comprehensive feature on phones and providers in its January 2009 issue. This is available on the Magazine shelves, as well as at the Reference Desk. It's also important not to underestimate the "feel" of a given device. Before you make any sort of decision, definitely visit the store and take it for a test drive. Many of the "big box" electronic stores have display models of phones from a variety of providers. (continued) Text Messaging Most cell phones now offer text messaging as a built-in feature. Using a protocol called SMS (Short Message Service), you can send brief notes to other cell phone users. Here are a few suggestions for becoming an expert texter. Know your plan: Depending on your wireless plan, you may incur certain charges or restrictions governing the use of your phone's text messaging features. Some plans offer unlimited messages, while others only give you a specific allotment of messages per month. (Sometimes, this allotment counts received messages as well New SMS message: Skokie Public Library as sent messages, so be careful.) If you're not sure, double-check your contract to avoid unnecessary charges. Learn T9 and Let Your Fingers do the Talking! Getting the hang of T9 can be confusing at first. The trick to using it is to ignore the word displayed on your screen until you've finished typing it out. As you add letters, T9 selects the most common word that uses that combination of keystrokes. The more letters you type, the greater the likelihood that T9's entry matches up with your word. If there are multiple words matching that number combination, you can cycle through the list by pressing the "Next" key on your keypad (typically "0.") Let's say you want send a text to your friend George. To say "Hi George" on your phone's regular "multi-tap" mode, you would type: HI_GEORGE 44 444 # 444 33 666 777 4 33 If you happen to hit one key too many times, you'll have to cycle through the letters again. If you switch your text-entry mode to T9, the same message is spelled: HI_GEORGE 44#436743 By only having to hit one key for each letter you save yourself a great deal of time and frustra- tion. T9 does have a steep initial learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, texting should become second nature. For more practice using T9, visit www.t9.com/us/learn/ and follow the interactive lessons. Texting to an Email Address Did you know your phone has an email address? This makes it possible to send and receive email on your mobile device without using a direct email gateway. Your phone's email address will start with the 10-digit phone number and a suffix specific to your provider. For more information, refer to the instructions at the end of this handout. Here are a few examples: Alltel: [number]@message.alltel.com AT&T: [number]@txt.att.net Sprint: [number]@messaging.sprintpcs.com T-Mobile: [number]@tmomail.net Verizon: [number]@vtext.com Virgin Mobile: [number]@vmobl.com Other providers are listed at www.SMS411.net. Remember that text messages have a maximum of 140 characters, so anything with more than that will appear in multiple text messages. (continued) Texting for Information with Google SMS We all use Google for quick answers on the Web. But did you know you can also use Google to get information through your phone? By sending a text message to 466453, you can look up addresses, phone numbers, weather and traffic reports, sports scores, movie times, and much more! Visit www.google.com/mobile/sms for the complete list of services Google offers through text messaging. You can try it out for yourself by entering your question into the "phone" displayed on the page. Using the Library With Your Mobile Phone Of course, the real reason to get a powerful new phone is to make using the Library easier and more convenient. With the help of a Library Services and Technology Act Grant (provided by the Illinois State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services), we're proud to unveil these three new services. Use Your Phone to Access the Library Website Use your phone's Web browser to access a Library website specially formatted for small screens. Just point your browser to m.skokielibrary.info. Once there, you'll find: • Library hours and directions • Contact information • Loan policies • Upcoming events • New item listings The Library Catalog on Your Phone If your phone has a Web browser, you can now access AirPAC, a version of the Library catalog specifically modified for small screens.

Register for this free* service and have the following notices texted to your phone: • Hold notices • Courtesy notices ("pre-overdue" warnings) • Renew eligible items • Overdue and fine warnings Sign up for text message notifications by sending the message SIGNUP to email@example.com. (continued) Not sure how to send a text message to an email? It's easy: 1. Select the Text Messaging option on your phone. 2. Highlight the Message Recipient field. Some phones have separate fields for phone numbers and email addresses. Type firstname.lastname@example.com in the email field. 3. Other phones have one field for both phone numbers and email addresses. If you see a "123" option on your menu, you can change it to "ABC" by clicking the relevant menu button. Send the message to email@example.com. 4. You will receive a confirmation message. Follow the prompts to complete the registration process. 5. Add email@example.com to your contact list.

D.C.'s Iftar Season
It's time for politicians to stop honoring demagogues and fundamentalists at official Ramadan celebrations.
12:00 AM, Sep 15, 2009 • By STEPHEN SCHWARTZ
He began his statement with an obvious inaccuracy: "When I first came to this city, over 30 years ago, there were no Iftars, nor was there any formal recognition of Ramadan or the Eids [two annual Muslim holidays] by anyone, anywhere." Here Zogby betrayed his ignorance of Muslim life, for if it is true that official recognition of these practices were lacking, such observances were common in embassies, mosques, and private homes. Zogby continued, "At this point, there are Iftars all over this city--the White House, State Department, Congress, National Security Agency, and more." He ended with boasts of his political exploits in Dearborn, Mich., in boosting the fortunes of its large Arab population.
One may conclude that while America is committed to understanding Islam, and is presently sacrificing blood and treasure to help Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan gain freedom and prosperity, it can do little in that direction with the help of demagogues like James Zogby, to say nothing of Mattson, Hendy, or Mogahed, especially at official events.

Mike: Happy 4th of the Knight, I mean, happy Arkham of July… Arkham Knight.
Nailed it.
Local Comic Shop – Updates Tuesdays and Fridays
Mike: Happy 4th of the Knight, I mean, happy Arkham of July… Arkham Knight.
Nailed it.
Well James did a blog post for the first Amazing Spider-man movie so I might as well do one for the sequel. I only recently saw the film, I didn't see it in theaters because I heard some negative things about it from some people. So despite really liking the trailers I couldn't get the energy to go out and see it. Now after having seen it I've come to a conclusion: Fuck those people this was a solid film.
Now for a little background, I use to love Spider-man, for the majority of my life I've been a huge fan. I loved concept and really identified with the character. That ended with Spider-man 3. I was so looking forward to the film and despite their flaws I really loved the first two films. But then Spider-man 3 took all of those flaws and ramped them up to 11. It had actually killed Spider-man for me, I stopped caring about the character in the comics, television, etc. So when the first Amazing Spider-man came out I really didn't care. When I saw it I thought it was pretty good. I was bit annoyed they redid the origin, which is just unnecessary. I would have preferred the origin handled in quick flashbacks, in the style of The Incredible Hulk, keeping the focus on the new instead of the old. We didn't need to see the spider bite again, nor him discovering his powers, nor him showing up Flash or impressing the love interest, or Uncle Ben dying. Other than that I loved the casting, I loved the acting, I loved the writing, the direction, the style, just about everything. So I, and I think everyone else, was hoping for the sequel to really stand out and be, as the title suggest, Amazing. And it did, mostly.
Andrew Garfield is the perfect Spider-man. I always felt Tobey Maguire had the potential be a really great Peter Parker and he fell short. I don't necessarily blamed him. Because the dialog wasn't written like the character, the director kept saying "Cut, we got it", and there was no one saying "Umm, that's not how Peter Parker acts". This is a problem that gets worse as each film goes by. Although, his voice acting in the video games are a significant improvement over the films and I believe that is due more to the writing and directing than Maguire as an actor. Though while Tobey Maguire has to be pushed to act like Peter, Andrew Garfield just fills the shoes so naturally, to the point where it doesn't even seem like he's acting. There's just such an authenticity to the performance both in and out of the costume. A lot of this has to do with writing, where as the Raimi films Peter is quiet, wimpy, and stiff; Webb's Peter is fun, sarcastic, and quick witted aka the Spidey well all know and love. Garfield captures each aspect of the character, the arrogant jokester, the kind dedicated hero, and the teen overwhelmed by life. There's a scene where Spider-man protects a kid being bullied and typically a scene like this usually comes off as too "after school special" but Garfield handles it so well and brings such honestly it truly gives meaning to the phrase "Friendly Neighborhood Spider-man". One last thing I want to point out that I really love is Garfield's movements compared to Maguire's. Tobey Maguire has zero body language as Spider-man. 98% of the time he just stands still and gives no physical performance, it's like he forgot his face is covered with a mask. Any actor will tell you, if your face is covered you have to emphasize body language to emote or else the audience will have no idea what you're feeling. Garfield certainly takes this to heart, every moment he's in that costume he is constantly moving and performing with his entire body. Bringing so much life and energy that is desperately need with a costume like that. Andrew Garfield has proven he's perfect for this role.
Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy is incredible, Garfield and her have probably the best on screen chemistry I've ever seen in a film. Every scene is entertaining. While Kirsten Dunst and Tobey Maguire had enough to get by and have you believe they like each other, Stone and Garfield have you believing they were made for each other. They play off one another so well understand why they are together. The ending of Raimi's Spider-man felt forced to try to keep Peter and MJ apart but it's the opposite here. You really feel that Peter truly loves and can understand him not be able to put her in harms way. So his going back and forth about being with her is reasonable, you sense he can't bear to lose someone else, but completely understand why he can't keep away, their perfect together. I hated Gwen dying not because it's a repeat of the first movie's ending, not because it's too predictable, not because it's too sad, but because it means I won't see them perform with each other again. And these two actors need to be cast opposite each other in the future, I hate romantic comedies but I would love watching one starring these two.
Now on to the villains, one thing that bugs me about the criticisms of this film is when someone says "There were too many villains and that's why the movie wasn't any good" That's bull shit. First off, There are only two villains, the third is a glorified cameo. Second, it's never the number of villain but how you use them. Captain America: The Winter Soldier, one of the best superhero films ever had four villains: The Winter Soldier, Arnim Zola, Crossbones, and Batroc. And here both of the villains are great. I was expecting to hate Jamie Foxx, seeing in the trailers that he starts out as an over-the-top, socially awkward nerd, but then something happened that I didn't expect. I knew that an unfortunate set of circumstances would make this relatively nice guy evil, but I didn't think it would be done so well. When Foxx becomes Electro his performance is spectacular, he makes the character really seems like someone with a little bit preexisting psychological trouble, undergoing extreme trauma, completely loses it, and becomes twisted as a result (the sound design on the voice really helps, sounded awesome). It was a transformation that was believable and actually had me retroactively like the "over-the-top, socially awkward nerd" I would have never guess that be the case. Now our second villain is another example of what this series has done so well which is perfect casting. Dane DeHaan is a brilliant choice for Harry Osborn. He handles the fun and intelligent with the dark and unhinged so well. Like Stone he has great chemistry Garfield, they bond so well that they truly act like old friends reconnecting. He portrays the desperation so well and like Foxx brings an authentic performance to a villain.
Okay now for the bad. As I mention before the main criticism this films gets is too many villains, but that's not the case. The problem is too much plot. Not so much that it makes the movie confusing or over bloated, but just enough to disrupt the flow of the film. In all honesty, I can't blame them. Every plot line here is so good and filled with potential it's tough to decide what to cut. From Peter and Gwen, to Spider-man's adventures, Electro's attacks, Harry's fall, Peter's Parents, the Osborn corruption, Mr Fiers, even Aunt May becoming a nurse. Each story is really fun and interesting, I couldn't decide what to get rid of. As a result some of these stories didn't feel like they were fully explored. For instance Electro has no real conclusion. His story has a beginning, a middle, but no end. Just a quick final fight. Peter's parents should have been the beginning of unraveling a conspiracy instead just becomes back story. There's only a handful of other things I didn't like. I hated Dr. Kafka, stupid, over-the-top, and completely out of tone. Felicia was unnecessary and wasted. Paul Giamatti's performance seemed dumb and cheesy (though to be fair we didn't really have time to like it). I also fucking hate it how Rhino was in all of the advertisements. That helped the idea that there were too many villains. It would have been a fun cameo to go out on but they decided to show all the action that was in the film, in the trailer. YOU SPOILED YOUR OWN FINAL SCENE! I fucking hate when marketing does that.
And that's it, I really liked this film. I loved the acting, almost every single line of dialog is perfect. The action is great, all of the choreography from fighting the villains, to distracting Osborne security is brilliantly planned and executed. The style and tone are spot on. The cinematography is amazing, specially the graveyard sequence; it said all that needed to be said without a single line of dialog. Overall a damn fine movie. For the first time in a long time I'm looking forward to the next Spider-man film. Unfortunately is sounds like Sony is hesitant, but there have been rumors of Spider-man joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe and I hope it happens, cause this Spider-man deserves to be in there.
Go see it. Go see it right-fucking-now. It's the best blockbuster of the summer and it's not even close. It might just be better than last year's heavyweight popcorn muncher The Avengers. I'll have a definitive answer on that after I see it a second time tomorrow. In IMAX 3D. Because it deserves to be seen in IMAX 3D.
The Amazing Spider-Man is not a perfect movie by any means and there was one scene in particular that had me cringing (you'll know it when you see it), but it gets more right than it gets wrong. The actions scenes are well done, the new costume is less awful than I thought, and the movie is more about Peter Parker than it is about Spider-Man. Which is exactly how it should be.
Andrew Garfield has a different take on Pete than we've seen in a movie thus far, but it works here. He's not the biggest loser in the world, he's just a little awkward. Spider-Man mouths off like Spider-Man is prone to do, but there's no real differentiation between his Spider-Man persona and his Peter persona so he mouths off as Pete too. That was jarring at first, but in the end that was a minor complaint. His dialogue is closer to smart ass Spidey than Raimi ever pulled off, so kudos on that. Emma Stone is fantastic. Her Gwen Stacy steals almost every scene she's in. You get why Peter is love struck immediately because you're right there with him. I'll stop gushing before I start sounding like Jim Carrey, but she really is great. Aunt May and Uncle Ben feel like fully realized characters as opposed to two dimensional caricatures of nice old people. In fact, all of the characters feel more fully realized this time out. Even Flash comes off as a real person, not just The Bully. The best casting choice by far is Denis Leary as Captain Stacy.
"We need someone to be a gruff father figure who does nothing but give Peter shit."
"So we need a Denis Leary type?"
"What's Denis Leary doing?"
Fish in a fucking barrel.
Even Rhys Ifans does fairly well with the limited role of Doc Conners. Yeah, the main villain feels pretty limited in both scope and screen time. I think a lot of people are going to complain about the Lizard and he's certainly not a great villain. But he does the two things this movie needed from its villain, be physically threatening to Peter and don't take up too much screen time.
I do think that his limited presence was intentional as they decided to tell a much bigger, longer origin story. Peter doesn't get into the Spider-Man costume for a long time and Conners doesn't play much of a role in the first act of the movie. His story is very simple and quick. He wants his arm back, he goes too far to get it back, and he lets his compulsion consume him. Superhero movies tend to be ABOUT the villain with the hero just reacting to their antics. That's not always a problem. The Dark Knight is the second best superhero movie ever and it only works because Ledger's Joker is so damn interesting and he gets enough screen time to capture the audience. All three of the previous Spider-Man movies fell into the villain-as-headliner trap with varying degrees of success. Peter was intentionally played as the boring, generic do-gooder hero while the first two movies gave great actors a chance to ham it up as Spidey's most menacing villains. Hell, Alfred Molina was so good that it completely masked the rest of the second movie's incredible mediocrity in every other facet. Then the third movie lacked that talent level in its villains and it turned into a steaming pile. The dancing didn't help. Neither did recycling the Mary Jane gets kidnapped plot for the third movie in a row, but mostly it was that there wasn't an actor on set capable of distracting us from Tobey McGuire and Kirstin Dunst's wooden acting and lack of chemistry. This movie goes the other way and relies heavily on Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone to carry the movie and they do it well.
I've made no secret of the fact that I want Disney to get their hands on Spider-Man. I think that Marvel Studios would do the best Spider-Man movie possible. That doesn't change the fact that this is a mostly solid flick. Thumbs up.
Side note, anyone bitching about this being "Spider-Man meets Twilight" needs to pick up a Spider-Man comic because his stories have always been soap opera marketed for teens and wrapped in spandex. Also, as a nation we need to stop singling out Twilight like it's the only piece of crap that does good business and won't go away. There's a glut on the market of unstoppable crap. Transformers 4 is coming, for fuck's sake. How is it that terribly written, poorly acted, teen angst vampire crap our go to bad movie series when three hours of obnoxious, headache inducing, Micheal Bay directed scraps of metal flying at each other won't stop coming out every two years like clockwork?

Despite being very low on salary cap space, it appears as though the Pittsburgh Steelers will continue to entertain free agent visitors.
According to a Tuesday report on Twitter by Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Indianapolis Colts unrestricted free agent wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey is scheduled to visit with the Steelers on Wednesday.
Heyward-Bey, who was originally drafted by the Oakland Raiders in the first round of the 2009 NFL Draft out of Maryland, caught just 29 passes for 309 yards and one touchdown last season with the Colts.
Veteran WR Darrius Heyward-Bey to visit #Steelers Wed. 7th overall pick in 2009. UFA. Team has just under $400K in cap room
— Ed Bouchette (@EdBouchette) April 1, 2014
From what I've seen, this guy is fast but isn't a football player.
The FOs drinkin a lot of red bull this off season!
IF we signed him that'd be curve ball!
I'm not sure if he a one year player or 3 year contract type? For one it doesn't make sense. I'd rather groom a rookie. If he can solidify as a player a 3 year means we don take a WR early this year.
I haven't paid enough attention to his previous years to know how he'd affect our draft, but it seems odd ? Brown, Wheaton, Moore and DHB would be pretty cool! Maybe they lost hope in Moye n JBrown? Then we could still take a rookie high and he could be the 5th WR?
Not a fan of the move better prospects in the draft
Maybe the FOs worried about DL and LB and wants to take them higher? There is enough depth at WR to get a good project in round 4.
No! Please! No!
Hmm. Pass? Yeah, pass.
Please no.
Talk about a one trick pony.
Nothing wrong with kicking tires on this guy….
Yeah cuz we have like 400k to go shopping with and those tires have caused many crashes and will cost more than we have.
If he still runs a 4.3, bring him in to compete for 5th wr spot. Nothing wrong with that. Non guaranteed vet minimum obviously. If we are in 5 wr set and he still runs send him on a 9 route. Or cut him in training camp. No loss.
I'll take a flyer on him as a #5 WR and a return man.
Last three seasons:
Cotchery: 79 catches for 12 tds
Heyward Bey: 134 catches 10 tds
Is he a bust for where he was picked…. absolutely. Doesn't mean he can't play and he's just 27.
best season: 64 rec 975 yds 4 td in 2011. C. Palmer and Jason Campbell were the qbs. I guess he's worth a look.
Hey bro did you actually reply to yourself…..
Hey, if they can sign him to a cheap non guaranteed one year deal, then why not?
I was thinking about him in the return game too. I went back and looked and it doesn't show him returning one punt or kick in his career. Some guys just don't have the stones to be returners.
Can he play corner?
Bring him in we can never have too much competition. Who knows maybe playing with BB AB and our WR crew makes him better. At 6'2″ and if he still runs in the 4.3 4.4 he can provide some speed to the group. I'm all for making us better as a unit and the competition will on help all of the guys. We could also go Defensive heavy in the top part of the draft and grab a WR in the later rounds.
Yes! Sometimes I get so excited and the only other person listening is me!
If we are in a 5 wr set I guess they fired Todd Haley and brought Chan Gailey back.
That was pretty good. My point was that it wouldn't hurt to let him compete with Moye and Brown for 5th wr.
I know I was just having a little fun.
I think Dave said they had $32,000.
But, there's the rule of 51 too.
Excited about another year with Haley and Ben working together. Pretty good offense later in the year. I think it could be dynamic this year especially with another playmaker added in draft. Haley knows what he is doing IMO. Better suited for OC then head coach. Am I wrong? You brought him and Chan up and it got me thinking.
Anyone but him
Given the cap space that we have I say its a win/win situation. If you can bring a guy that is a veteran and runs a 4.4 (give or take) why not at least give it a shot? If he does not sign then so be it. It would be a bargain to get speed like this for such a low price. There is absolutely nothing to loose.
Can he play special teams? If not then there is no chance
I'm thinking the McCain signing and the DHB possibility is an emphasis on bolstering special teams play, and that's a good thing. Sign him up.
Please be an April Fools joke.
Lord, I would normally be enthusiastic about this, but he couldn't even hand in as a starter for Indy after Reggie Wayne went down…and that is after they gave him the job initially and literally begged him to be a starter for them…
I think our offense can be a top 5 unit. Beachum is the key. If he can hold down the LT spot….look out.
I live in Indiana and watched practically every Colts game. He's got hands of stone, but he's big and fast. Throw him some 9 routes and hope he catches 1 out 5. Kinda like having Mike Wallace back, but for 14.5 million less.
Is he tall?
Yep, well said.
6'2" 219 lbs…
I wonder if a Nonsense coach like Mann will help Bay into turning Bay Around?
It would make for an interesting camp at the WR position. I like bringing in as many guys as you can to compete in camp.
haha this offseason is nuts
Healthy competition is always good. Look what it did for AB! He was behind Sanders, Ward, and Wallace in 2011 and look where he is now.
The sad thing is I didn't even realize that till you said that.
Look at the tweet at the end
Just sucks when that happens. Thanks for the laughs guys.
That's funnier than Matt talking to himself.
You guys are cracking me up tonight. I don;t want him either. It seems like a colossal waste of time.
I believe that there are some species of apes that catch better than this guy. Another raiders speed guy in the 1st that did nothing.
I brought up his name at the beginning of the off-season. He's a guy who's been around the league a few years and is better than most give him credit for. People only call him a bust I think because of how high he was drafted. He'd be a welcome addition to the competition in camp at WR. If we end up signing him, my $ would be on him as a dark horse for the #5 receiver spot.
Can Matt be a corner that talks to himself ?
Better how? He is exactly what his detractors claimed he was when he got drafted. Pure speed, but no footballer. He's never had a 1,000 yard season, and averages 476 yds and 2.4 TDs a season. You can't even blame it on the crappy Oakland QBs either, as every year but once he was third or worse among receivers. He would still be a bust if he was picked in the 4th.
He's a speed guy with average height that I wouldn't even pay vet minimum for.
And rule of thumb. You can only beat an English woman with a stick size of your thumb. Kevin shall hit Heyward-bey and see how fast he can go out of the stadium.
P.S. it'd be hilarious of Colbert was bringing him in and goes "ha! Got ya!" When Tomlin remain dumbfounded by the invitation… yep, April 1st is getting to me.
7th overall pick in a one of the most lackluster drafts in the past decade.
Hands of stone. But he could play cornerback for us
I would trash talk my self and scare opposing WRs! That would cover up my weak coverage skills!
anyone but him…. please… anyone but granite fingers bey…..
If they can get him that cheap it's a great pickup. Just being that fast forces defenses to respect him. If you put him out there in a 3 WR set, he will force them to keep a Safety deep and he can open it up for Brown or Lance Moore in the slot.
Hopefully Wheaton would beat him out and DHB would be a quality #4 WR.
Great point. And if they sign him to a cheap contract and he gets his act together, he could be an amazing steal. Sometimes players take a few years to develop…look at James Harrison…and DHB had the misfortune of spending his first few years with the Raiders! I see no downside, and potentially huge upside. Worst case scenario – cut him in training camp with no cap hit.
this is a complete waste of time … are we really that desperate … this is not a confidence booster in the FO !
Then that settles it, pay no attention to whether he can actually catch passes lol
I see that but I think I trust Dave more than I do Ed.
And moats. Bring in Harrison as well, and perhaps our ST would be the strongest unit on the team.
Lol…well, you can definitely see why teams get excited to sign him…you never know…

I headed to Rera for help, and found myself running from one government building to another looking for answers. I got a few.
March 29, 2009 4:59 by Dana El Baltaji
We know that property investors are struggling, and for the most part, we know why. But what most of us don't know are everyday struggles they're going through. One investor agreed to write a journal of her experiences for Kipp. We asked her to be ruthless: she obliged.
Ah Rera. I loved the new regulations and announcements you made over the past eight months, and the threats you were making to incompliant developers raised my hopes that you'd come through for me.
I was wrong. Mind you, I know you have good intentions. All the announcements you've made recently are very nice, but it's too bad that no one in your building has heard of them.
After months of waiting for my good-for-nothing developer to come through with either an announcement that they've broken ground or that they've cancelled the project, I decided to go to Rera to understand my rights, and to know what I would need to do to cancel my contract and get my money back.
Before I went, I called the authority a number of times to know what documents I needed to have with me to argue my case. Aside from the contract and the receipts, Rera asked me to prepare a letter explaining everything that had happened up until that point, and to outline – in detail – why I wanted to cancel my contract. I wrote it, printed it and filed it along with the hundreds of papers I had gathered about my developer.
I was ready!
Unfortunately, however, Rera wasn't. I was told to get a number and wait for my turn at counter two. There was no one attending to counter two. I waited. I sat there with a file on my lap determined not to lose my temper, and waited for over an hour and fifteen minutes. No one showed up. I asked around if someone actually works at counter two, and I was told to be patient. So I waited some more.
And then, the guy sitting at counter one asked me what my issue was. I told him, and he said: 'You shouldn't be waiting here. You should go to the fourth floor, room 413, and speak to a legal consultant.'

I have very sensitive and due to the winter weather dry skin, but this has helped sooth my eyes without affecting my skin.
very light and fresh. i like it.
Fast and courteous as usual great choice
Ok Too early to tell how effective it will be
First class service as usual
This product was too harsh for my undereye area and stung. I do have fairly senstive skin around my eyes though. Claudaline facial care has never been a problem before, i have passed on to a friend and she is enjoying. So would not recommend for sensitive skin
Haven't used it properly yet.
Not sure yet
Product arrived the day after I ordered. Packaging is excellent.
Great service, as always!
This is a really good eye cream. It absorbs quickly. Leaves the skin around my eyes hydrated and a little goes a long way! My makeup doesnt crease over it and I am starting to notice my bags slightly fading which is a plus! Definitely going to buy this again.
Such a fantastic product, I can really see a difference in my eye area already and am able to use much less concealer under my eye.
Would absolutely recommend.
My go to eye cream! Can use day or night , sinks in straight away and improves eye bags and dark circles. Love in combination with caudalie beauty elixir. Look to purchase more from the range.
Replacement product for one almost empty!
This is a product which deserves hype! It is amazing and soothing for the sensitive skin under my eyes and can be use both day and night. It is essential that the eye area is clean before you apply the product. It absorbs into the skin well and keep the area hydrated for a long period of time. My concealer sets in well with this eye cream.
This light creme-gel is very very good. It hydrates but is not heavy and seems to help reduce puffiness in the morning. My eyes can be very dry and tight feeling and this really combats that but allows me to apply makeup without worrying that it will slide off later in the day.

We use SoapUI to mock web services to test our application (APP) before we have access to real webservices.
Creating a synchronous Mock Service which will return predefined response is straightforward. However I have to mock some asynchronous services where the APP sends a request, the SoapUI immediately responds back with confirmation (e.g. SUCCESS) and then after a predefined interval the SoapUI will call our application back (the APP is then acting as a server). I managed to do it using test case where first step is MockResponse, then delay and then MockRequest (to call our app).
The above works fine but I'd like to do it by scripting it directly in the Mock Reponse to avoid using Test Cases. I managed to write the script which when a Mock Service receives request it will fire the callback.
def project = result.mockOperation.mockService.project
// The API documentation doesn't say what finish is supposed to do but I try (doesn't help)
// Request that will be returned back - THE CALLBACK
def request = project.interfaces["LocationServicesOperation"].operations["ackLocation"].getRequestByName("Request 1")
request.submit(new com.eviware.soapui.impl.wsdl.WsdlSubmitContext( ), false)
The issue with the above is that it will fire the callback BEFORE sending the response for the initial request. I tried using event handling in SoapUI PRO but I can't get that working. In Wireshark I can see the communication like this:
1) APP request -> SoapUI
2) SoapUI callback -> APP
3) APP confirms 2) -> SoapUI
4) SoapUI confirms 1) -> APP
However it needs to be:
1) APP request -> SoapUI
2) SoapUI confirms 1) -> APP
3) SoapUI callback -> APP
4) APP confirms 2) -> SoapUI
The code above is actually from MockRunListener.onMockResult event in SoapUI Pro. the
result.finish() doesn't do the trick.
Thanks for any tips!

"Physically he is there, and he is a smart kid," UW tight ends coach Joe Rudolph said. "Right now he is the fourth tight end and it is good to get him rolling. You truly do see him get better with each rep."
As No. 6 UW (3-0) prepares to host South Dakota (2-1) at 2:30 p.m. Saturday, Arneson is listed No. 2 on the depth chart behind senior Jake Byrne at the "Y" position. Redshirt sophomores Jacob Pedersen and Brian Wozniak are 1-2 at the H-back spot.
At 6-foot-4 and 245 pounds, Arneson looks the part. During preseason camp, he quickly showed the ability to get down the field and catch the ball cleanly.
"He has some great receiving skills," Rudolph said. "He is really natural in that respect."
Perhaps the most surprising aspect of Arneson's pass-catching ability and his ability to play immediately is his lack of experience at the position.
From his backyard to youth ball through his freshman season at Merrill, Arneson played quarterback. No passes thrown to him, no blocks thrown by him.
"Growing up I was always the quarterback for my grade," said Arneson, who played linebacker on defense.
That changed during his sophomore season when Merrill had a more experienced player at quarterback.
Arneson switched to tight end and played there as a sophomore and junior. He finished with a combined 40 catches for 457 yards and six touchdowns.
Merrill needed a quarterback last season, so Arneson switched back to his original position.
Arneson completed 90 of 170 attempts (52.9%) for 1,445 yards and 14 touchdowns as a senior. He rushed 189 times for 907 yards (4.8-yard average) and 14 touchdowns.
He was an all-state linebacker (83 tackles, nine for loss, two forced fumbles and one interception), but the UW coaches knew from scrutinizing him during their summer camp they wanted him at tight end.
"He hasn't played a lot at tight end and I think if he had or if he came in here during midyear," Rudolph said, "he probably would have been worked in earlier. But he has come along really fast."
Although Arneson didn't plan to play this season, he was prepared. Rudolph understood UW had three experienced tight ends in Byrne, Pedersen and Wozniak. That isn't a large number of bodies for a team that uses multiple tight end formations from the moment it gets off the bus.
"He told me to keep learning and be ready," Arneson said. "You never know. If you're good enough, you might get a shot."
Arneson didn't play in the opener but was performing so well in practice he made his debut in Week 2 against Oregon State. He played last week against Northern Illinois.
He doesn't have a reception in two games, but that shouldn't set off alarm bells that his freshman season is being wasted.
Pedersen has 10 catches for 164 yards and four touchdowns. Byrne has one catch for 14 yards. Wozniak, whose progress at UW has been slowed by shoulder and knee injuries, has yet to catch a pass.
"I would have been OK with redshirting," Arneson said, "but it has been great to get a little game experience and to travel. It's been awesome."
Arneson acknowledged he had to adjust to playing tight end again after playing quarterback as a senior at Merrill.
"As much as I would like to say it wasn't, I can see it a little bit," he said. "It was a year off from blocking. You can't use that as an excuse, but it took a little time to get that feel back."
Although Arneson is locked into the "Y" position this season, Rudolph believes he will able to play both positions because of his size and pass-catching ability.
"I don't know what his upside is," Rudolph said. "I don't want to tie him to some guys in the past but . . . I think he has a chance to be really good."
