- QCD equation of state from a chiral hadronic model including quark degrees of freedom (2013)
- This work presents an effective model for strongly interacting matter and the QCD equation of state (EoS). The model includes both hadron and quark degrees of freedom and takes into account the transition of chiral symmetry restoration as well as the deconfinement phase transition. At low temperatures T and baryonic densities ρB a hadron resonance gas is described using a SU(3)-flavor sigma-omega model and a quark phase is introduced in analogy to PNJL models for higher T and ρB. In this way, the correct asymptotic degrees of freedom are used in a wide range of T and ρB. Here, results of this model concerning the chiral and deconfinement phase transitions and thermodynamic model properties are presented. Large hadron resonance multiplicities in the transition region emphasize the importance of heavy-mass resonance states in this region and their impact on the chiral transition behavior. The resulting phase diagram of QCD matter at small chemical potentials is in line with latest lattice QCD and thermal model results.
- Heavy ions and X-rays in brain tumor treatment : a comparison of their biological effects on tissue slice cultures (2009)
- Background: In this interdisciplinary project, the biological effects of heavy ions are compared to those of X-rays using tissue slice culture preparations from rodents and humans. Advantages of this biological model are the conservation of an organotypic environment and the independency from genetic immortalization strategies used to generate cell lines. Its open access allows easy treatment and observation via live-imaging microscopy. Materials and methods: Rat brains and human brain tumor tissue are cut into 300 micro m thick tissue slices. These slices are cultivated using a membrane-based culture system and kept in an incubator at 37°C until treatment. The slices are treated with X-rays at the radiation facility of the University Hospital in Frankfurt at doses of up to 40 Gy. The heavy ion irradiations were performed at the UNILAC facility at GSI with different ions of 11.4 A MeV and fluences ranging from 0.5–10 x 106 particles/cm². Using 3D-confocal microscopy, cell-death and immune cell activation of the irradiated slices are analyzed. Planning of the irradiation experiments is done with simulation programs developed at GSI and FIAS. Results: After receiving a single application of either X-rays or heavy ions, slices were kept in culture for up to 9d post irradiation. DNA damage was visualized using gamma H2AXstaining. Here, a dose-dependent increase and time-dependent decrease could clearly be observed for the X-ray irradiation. Slices irradiated with heavy ions showed less gamma H2AX-positive cells distributed evenly throughout the slice, even though particles were calculated to penetrate only 90–100 micro m into the slice. Conclusions: Single irradiations of brain tissue, even at high doses of 40 Gy, will result neither in tissue damage visible on a macroscopic level nor necrosis. This is in line with the view that the brain is highly radio-resistant. However, DNA damage can be detected very well in tissue slices using gamma H2AX-immuno staining. Thus, slice cultures are an excellent tool to study radiation-induced damage and repair mechanisms in living tissues.
- Hydrodynamic flow and jet induced mach shocks at RHIC and LHC (2007)
- We discuss the present collective flow signals for the phase transition to quark-gluon plasma (QGP) and the collective flow as a barometer for the equation of state (EoS). A study of Mach shocks induced by fast partonic jets propagating through the QGP is given. We predict a significant deformation of Mach shocks in central Au+Au collisions at RHIC and LHC energies as compared to the case of jet propagation in a static medium. Results of a hydrodynamical study of jet energy loss are presented.
- Charmed signatures for phase transitions in heavy-ion collisions (2007)
- The interplay of charmonium production and suppression in In+In and Pb+Pb reactions at 158 AGeV and in Au+Au reactions at sqrt(s)=200 GeV is investigated with the HSD transport approach within the hadronic comover model' and the QGP melting scenario'. The results for the J/Psi suppression and the Psi' to J/Psi ratio are compared to the recent data of the NA50, NA60, and PHENIX Collaborations. We find that, at 158 AGeV, the comover absorption model performs better than the scenario of abrupt threshold melting. However, neither interaction with hadrons alone nor simple color screening satisfactory describes the data at sqrt(s)=200 GeV. A deconfined phase is clearly reached at RHIC, but a theory having the relevant degrees of freedom in this regime (strongly interacting quarks/gluons) is needed to study its transport properties.
- Collapse of flow: probing the order of the phase transition (2007)
- We discuss the present collective flow signals for the phase transition to the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) and the collective flow as a barometer for the equation of state (EoS). We emphasize the importance of the flow excitation function from 1 to 50A GeV: here the hydrodynamicmodel has predicted the collapse of the v1-flow at ~ 10A GeV and of the v2-flow at ~ 40A GeV. In the latter case, this has recently been observed by the NA49 collaboration. Since hadronic rescattering models predict much larger flow than observed at this energy, we interpret this observation as potential evidence for a first order phase transition at high baryon density pB.
- An introduction to mini black holes at LHC (2007)
- Relying on the existing estimates for the production cross sections of mini black holes in models with large extra dimensions, we review strategies for identifying those objects at collider experiments. We further consider a possible stable final state of such black holes and discuss their characteristic signatures. Keywords: Black holes
- Schwarze Löcher im Labor? : Auf der Suche nach einer experimentellen Bestätigung der Stringtheorie (2006)
- Schwarze Löcher – das sind im Allgemeinen alles verschlingende, gigantisch schwere astronomische Objekte mit bis zu einigen Milliarden Sonnenmassen. Am Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies (FIAS) und am Institut für Theoretische Physik sind in den vergangenen fünf Jahren eine ganz neue Art von Schwarzen Löchern theoretisch vorhergesagt worden, die genau das Gegenteil der astronomisch gemessenen Giganten darstellen, nämlich winzig kleine Schwarze Löcher, so genannte »mini black holes«. Auftreten könnten sie, wenn im kommenden Jahr der neue Teilchenbeschleuniger am CERN in Genf in Betrieb genommen wird.
- In-medium properties of D-mesons at FAIR (2006)
- We obtain the D-meson spectral density at finite temperature for the conditions of density and temperature expected at FAIR. We perform a self-consistent coupled-channel calculation taking, as a bare interaction, a separable potential model. The Lambda_c (2593) resonance is generated dynamically. We observe that the D-meson spectral density develops a sizeable width while the quasiparticle peak stays close to the free position. The consequences for the D-meson production at FAIR are discussed.
- Transport model analysis of the transverse momentum and rapidity dependence of pion interferometry at SPS energies (2006)
- Based on the UrQMD transport model, the transverse momentum and the rapidity dependence of the Hanbury-Brown-Twiss (HBT) radii R_L, R_O, R_S as well as the cross term R_OL at SPS energies are investigated and compared with the experimental NA49 and CERES data. The rapidity dependence of the R_L, R_O, R_S is weak while the R_OL is significantly increased at large rapidities and small transverse momenta. The HBT "life-time" issue (the phenomenon that the calculated sqrt R_O^2-R_S^2 value is larger than the correspondingly extracted experimental data) is also present at SPS energies.
- Baryon number and electric charge fluctuations in Pb+Pb collisions at SPS energies (2006)
- Event-by-event fluctuations of the net baryon number and electric charge in nucleus-nucleus collisions are studied in Pb+Pb at SPS energies within the HSD transport model. We reveal an important role of the fluctuations in the number of target nucleon participants. They strongly influence all measured fluctuations even in the samples of events with rather rigid centrality trigger. This fact can be used to check different scenarios of nucleus-nucleus collisions by measuring the multiplicity fluctuations as a function of collision centrality in fixed kinematical regions of the projectile and target hemispheres. The HSD results for the event-by-event fluctuations of electric charge in central Pb+Pb collisions at 20, 30, 40, 80 and 158 A GeV are in a good agreement with the NA49 experimental data and considerably larger than expected in a quark-gluon plasma. This demonstrate that the distortions of the initial fluctuations by the hadronization phase and, in particular, by the final resonance decays dominate the observable fluctuations.

We will restart the Weight Loss Buddies thread over on the miscellaneous forum starting Monday Oct. 1. This is a great way to start the new fiscal year, get in shape before TTC, lose some weight before the holidays, or just get a little healthier. Join us if you want to lose some weight, maintain a healthy weight, or simply improve your fitness.
Welcome to Weight Loss Buddies, Fall 2012 Edition. Oct. 2012-Dec 31 2012.
Join us any time. I will start on 10/1, but you are welcome to start any time. We are here to support everyone's weight loss and fitness goals. We come in all shapes, sizes, and activity levels. Everyone is welcome.
There are no rules for WLB. Many people post their starting weight, weight gain/loss for the week, and their goal. You don't have to post numbers if you don't want to. I think it is a good idea to weight in regularly and track my weight loss, but I understand not wanting to do it publicly. Check in whenever you can. There is no requirement to check in weekly or make any commitment to stick with it. We also use this group to trade healthy recipes, fun workout ideas, and motivation to stay out of the chocolate cake.


text: The War Machine wiki last edited by N00beditor3 on 07/28/15 03:40PM View full history Current EventsHaving faked his death with Tony Stark after an intense battle with the Living Laser, Whirlwind and Melter, the two men have hatched a plan to strike back at the Mandarin and Ezekiel Stane which involves the presumed dead Rhodey becoming the new Iron Man as his employer steps down from the role once again.OriginJames Rupert Rhodes was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He first met Tony Stark while flying combat missions in Vietnam. Rhodes' helicopter had been shot down by Viet Cong rocket fire, and while trying to get the aircraft airborne again, he encountered Stark in a bulky prototype suit of powered armor. At that moment the Viet Cong attacked, and Stark, in his suit, helped to drive them off. Together, Rhodes and Stark made their way to a nearby enemy base where they stole another helicopter, flying it back to the American lines.James Rhodes becoming Iron manAfter the end of the Vietnam War, Stark, who had secretly become the superhero named Iron Man, offered Rhodes a job as his personal pilot, and Rhodes soon became one of Stark's closest associates and confidants as well as Stark Industries' chief aviation officer. As a result, he had numerous adventures with his employer where his daring and skills were valuable assets. When Tony relapsed into his alcoholism, James Rhodes took over the Variable Threat Response Battle Suit (War Machine). James Rhodes took up the mantle of Iron Man for some time, and would return to using this suit.Major Story ArcsWest Coast AvengersWar Machine as an AvengerAs Iron Man, Rhodes helped found the Avengers West Coast, and was present during the group's battle with Graviton. He left the group after Stark reclaimed the Iron Man identity, but briefly returned to assist the team when Quicksilver framed both groups of Avengers for treason.Years later, Rhodes returned to the team as War Machine. As an Avenger, he combated such foes as Doctor Demonicus and the Pacific Overlords, and took part in the fateful battle against Satannish and the Lethal Legion. Things took a bad turn after Mockingbird's death, and War Machine ended up resigning from the Avengers in anger due to his then-ongoing feud with Tony Stark. The team itself disbanded a short while later.Time WarsRhodey as War MachineDuring the Time Wars, James Rhodes traveled back to World War II with Sheva Josephs to stop Grinz, a Nazi officer who was receiving advanced technology from the future. Rhodes learned that Grinz was supplied by his own son, Raeder. Rhodes killed Grinz to prevent Raedar from being born; the resulting paradox shunted Rhodes and Joseph back to their own time, It was then that James Rhodes lost the War Machine Armor and was forced to retire from the superhero business.It was during a fishing trip, trying to relax, that an alien race came to Rhodey and bonded him with the symbiotic alien suit, known as the Eidolon Warwear. The Eidolon Warwear System was a gift from unknown aliens who apparently wished to give the world a defender for Earth's coming battle with Kang The Conqueror. The black, orange and green battlesuit was an organic partner that sensed Rhodey's heroic nature and drew him near so that it could organically bond with him. When Stark died during a battle with Kang The Conqueror, Rhodes rejoined Stark Enterprises to protect his old friend's legacy. To prevent Stark's armor technology from being misused, he used the abilities of the Eidolon Warwear armor to erase all trace of Stark's designs from the Fujikawa systems, but the armor was destroyed in the process. Rhodes gave up his superhero career and started his own salvage company. Upon Stark and the other heroes' return from Counter-Earth, the two renewed their friendship, also dealing with the new War Machine, Parnell Jacobs.Split with TonyIron Man vs. War MachineRhodes quit his job at Stark Enterprises due to the fact that Tony lied to him about his fake death. After his dismissal, Rhodes is attacked by former War Machine pilot Parnell in an attempt to recover the War Machine armor. The two are picked up by Nick Fury and taken to the Helicarrier. It is revealed that Jacobs had sold his stolen War Machine to Hydra for money when he learned his wife was pregnant. SHIELD was able to recover the armor and was in the process of reverse engineering the Stark technology. Nick Fury planned to field a squad of War Machines commanded by Rhodes.The CrewHe would take a break from heroics for a while, Rhodes founded his own marine salvage company, but an extravagant lifestyle and an unscrupulous accountant left him bankrupt. Rhodes had heavily invested in Grace & Tumbalt due to their stated purpose of improving urban ethnic neighborhoods. While investigating the death of his sister Jeanette, he learned the company was corrupt, using their resources to fuel gangs and drugs. He would then form a team of superheroes called "The Crew." The team consisted of The White Tiger, Junta, and Josiah X, the son of the 1940's super-soldier Isaiah Bradley, the black Captain America. Rhodes used part of a prototype War Machine armor to face off with Triage, the head of the 66 Bridges, and the gang was dispersed by Rhodes and his allies.The InitiativeAfter the House of M incident, he would guard the mutants as the commanding officer and head combat instructor for Sentinel Squad O*N*E* and as a key member of the Office of National Emergency, using an Iron Man like armor that took advantage of sentinel technology, he would start controlling one of the large Sentinel suits after Tony Stark designed a "War Machine" model. He would drop the Sentinel armor and return to his superhero duties once the The Initiative went into effect. Jim Rhodes is back in the War Machine Armor for the first time in over 4 years and is the Field Commander of Camp Hammond and one of the head trainers of new recruits of The Initiative program. Jim dawn his armor again because while serving as a military consultant at a base in Dubai and test piloting a combat plane, the base was bombed by terrorists Rhodes had been severely injured and without limbs while fighting the terrorists . Dieing from his injuries Tony saved his with life cybernetic implants and James becomes a cyborg.Dark ReignAfter the events of the Secret Invasion, War Machine swore to get rid of Osborn's evil power and influence. This brought Jim to Aqiria where a friend of him, Dr. Glenda Sandoval, was kidnapped. With the help of Parnell Jacobs (Glenda's ex husband) and Bethany Cabe, War Machine infiltrated Aqiria and fought against Eaglestar's private army in order to free his friendAfter a vicious battle, War Machine confronted Ares and also Davis Harmon, Eaglestar's CEO and the man who kidnapped Glenda. Jim managed to defeat Ares, even for a brief moment and Harmon freed Sandoval from the confinement area. Harmon was sure that he couldn't be prosecuted by his war crimes due to the legal status of Aqiria, but that didn't stopped Glenda of taking justice into her own hands. But Harmon's deep secrets were opened by Ares, a rabid pack of prisoners infected by the ultimo virus. And Glenda was of the first victims becoming an enraged slave of the virus. While this is going on Bethany Cabe is currently working on making a clone body for Jim to download his mind into because his cybernetic implants were meant to be permanent , but this is discovered by Norman Osborn who steal the body.During this arc, James found himself facing the Doomsday device known as Ultimo, and in order to defeat it, he formed an alliance with Norman Osborn and together they defeated the robot. But Osborn revealed his true motives: to claim Ultimo for himself. While James was fighting Osborn, his Team War Machine ally Suzi Endo escaped to space with Ultimo in order to reprogram it. After Osborn defeated James, it was revealed that he was actually buying his team time in order to expose the Bainesville Ten, a group of politicians and industry captains responsible for horrific acts around the world. In order the prevent the prosecution of the Bainesville Ten, Osborn made a distraction of his own by sending Rhodes to the Hague to be tried for war crimes and crimes against humanity. The longer Rhodes' trial continues, the more time Osborn has to thwart the prosecution of the Ten and smuggles them out of the country. Rhodes sends away his lawyers and awaits prosecution in his cell room although evidence of his innocence exists.The world needs a War MachineRhodey's mom comes to his cell and attempts to talk him out of surrendering himself, but he tells her that he'll never give up and contacts his team who are in possession of his clone body, and are about to get the clone close enough to Rhodes so they can begin the transfer process of his consciousness into the body. However their plan was discovered by Osborn and sends a team of H.A.M.M.E.R agents after Team War Machine to thwart their plan. Jim was discovered talking to his team by the guards who started attacking him until Ares appeared and fought alongside Rhodey claiming to be his "champion". In the meantime, all of the Bainesville Ten have left the U.S and Norman gave a speech claiming that Rhodes was kidnapped by Tony Stark and that a Starktech cyborg (the real War Machine) committed the "atrocities" in James' name, while Osborn was attempting to control the cloned body of Rhodes and condemn the real War Machine. In the Hague, War Machine was apparently killed while trying to protect a child. When all seemed to go well for Osborn and the Bainesville Ten, the data that was stored in James's cyborg memory was transferred to the Bainesville Ten, and they started seeing every recording of every person that has suffered because of them over and over again causing them extreme pain. After seeing this, Osborn turned around to see James in a whole new body, and he punched him in the face. Team War Machine was successful in transferring Rhodes' consciousness into the new body. Rhodes left Osborn to deal with his defeat. He was cleared of all charges and given a new "fresh" body. It has been confirmed that he will be apart of the Heroic Age's Secret Avengers.War Machine 2.0The one man armory, James "War Machine" Rhodes, will have a new mission, new armor, and is the new Iron Man! That's right, Iron Man! James has won many battles and wars. Physically, mentally, and in the grounds of combat, no other person is ready enough to wield the "Iron Man" title. That is why Rhodes is stepping up his game and fighting a threat that might be even bigger than Tony Stark, with a new series and new outlook, Rhodes is getting ready to fight for his life, or die trying!Iron PatriotRhodey as Iron PatriotWhile part of the Secret Avengers, Rhodey is called in by his old military buddy Phil Coulson to deal with a situation involving a fleet of Iron Patriot drones, which have been given sentience by Mentallo. Rhodey is able to communicate with the drones and convince them that their destructive actions are wrong, offering instead to teach them a better way. The drones respond by sending him a new suit of Iron Patriot armor to wear as their leader.As Iron Patriot, Rhodey has a number of adventures, including an incident where he is forced into a plot to assassinate the former president of the United States. With help from his niece Lila, Rhodey is able to overcome the terrorists and save the day, though his father dies in the process. During his time as Iron Patriot, Rhodey also enters into a relationship with Carol Danvers, the Avenger known as Captain Marvel.Time Runs OutFollowing a six month Time Skip, Rhodey has returned to his War Machine identity and is shown as a member of the Avengers. He still commands his drones, which he uses to hunt the fugitive members of the Illuminati. Carol expresses concern that commanding so many drones could put a dangerous amount of strain on Rhodey's body, but he assures her he can handle it. SuitsVariable Threat Response Battle SuitVariable Threat Response Battle SuitRhodey first wore the War Machine armor which holds various weapons such as repulsors, unibeam, concussion pulses, twin barreled cannon in right gauntlet, laser blade in left gauntlet, wrist-mounted flamethrower, shoulder mounted gatling gun, shoulder mounted box rocket launcher and shoulder mounted particle beam. The armor has more plating and shielding than standard armors. A polycarbonate coating further improves the surface. A additional polyprismatic coating was developed to counter laser fire.Eidolon WarwearEidolon WarwearThe suit quickly adapts to environmental conditions and possible dangers, such as sealing against the vacuum of space. Protective force-fields can also be created. Furthermore, the suit is capable of healing injuries to both itself and the wearer. The suit flies incredibly fast and is suited for interstellar travel. The armor can produce (referred to as "unskinning") remote drones that can be morphed into weapons, probes etc. as the wearer needs. A set of small rotating drones are normally around the right gauntlet, while a large cannon is mounted on the left. The suit's main firepower is plasma-based.Sentinel ArmorSentinel ArmorThe armor is constructed of a unique mix of steel and fiberglass based on a formula developed by Mister Fantastic. The hands can fire pulsar beams while blasters are mounted in the eye and chest area. Sonics and missiles can also be deployed. Non-lethal weapons such as nets and smoke bombs are also usable.Stanetech ArmorStanetech SuitThe gauntlets possess blasters, shoulder mounts include a gatling gun, beam weapon and rocket launcher. On at least one occasion the launcher has been set to use the Super-Powered Inhibiting Nanobots (SPIN) power neutralizer. Cannons can also extend from the chest area, epaulets, and hip pods. The arms can function even if separated from Rhodes. The armor also has satellite interface with internal monitors that allow him to access any database on the planet.Iron Man 2.0Iron Man 2.0 (Rhodey) SketchNew and more powerful armor. Removing all of the extra bulk, and cannon rockets/machine gun, he will be getting an advanced model that resembles Iron Man's newest armor. He will be able to move much faster, however will still have the same abilities like his previous armor. Everything about this armor is upgraded. It has a new operating system, and will have different abilities that have yet to be revealed."In Rhodey's internal monitors, a thing called a 'Kill Number' pops up when he eyes a new villain. That's not the number of people the villain's killed; that's a rating based on all the information Rhodey's downloaded from every accessible database on the planet that helps Rhodey decide who deserves the ultimate sanction"- Greg PakThe armor possesses stealth features such as invisibility and holographic projections. It also has technology similar to Iron Man's long time foe, Ghost. The War Machine can render itself and the wearer intangible. It also has a "Combat Mode" which Iron Man describes as a feature Rhodes can use to "Hulk Out" The armor does possess limitations. Intangibility and invisibility are exclusive and the add-on features drain the repulsor battery relatively fast. Chameleon Mode won't give the wearer migraines but it can still disorient the user.Iron PatriotThe Iron Patriot armorThe Iron Patriot suit is once again sleeker and more maneuverable than the original, bulkier War Machine armors, and has increased stealth capabilities. Additionally, it allows Rhodes to communicate with and command his squad of Iron Patriot drones.AbilitiesSkilled Engineer:Rhodes served several tours in Southeast Asia, studying while in the service to become an aviation engineer.Skilled Aviator:He is a skilled helicopter pilot and is capable of maneuvering most if not all Stark-designed armors.Skilled Combatant:Rhodes military training made him a very skilled hand to hand combatant.Skilled Marksman:Aside from his armor's weaponry, he is a very good marksman.Skilled Survivalist:With intense military training, he can survive explosions and blasts.Skilled TacticianHe can make strategies in order to win.War Machine vs Iron ManOne of the most requested and sought after battles in the Marvel Universe has always been War Machine vs Iron Man. We've seen them battle only a few times but it's not always been James Rhodes in the War Machine armor, in Iron Man vol. 2 it's been Parnell Jacobs.Avengers: The Terminatrix Objective #2 (1993)War Machine #8 (1994)Iron Man #310 (1994)Marvel Action Hour: Iron Man #2 (1994)War Machine #22 (1994)Iron Man #11(1998) Parnell as War MachineIron Man #12(1998) Parnell as War MachineIron Man #19(1998) Parnell as War MachineIron Man #20(1998) Parnell as War MachineU.S. War Machine 2.0 #2 (2003)Invincible Iron Man #11, Worlds Most Wanted (2009)War Machine in Alternate RealitiesEarth-311In the year 1602, the Lord Iron suit was engineered by Lord Anthony Stark and Rupert Rhodes, his accomplice.Earth-2149Zombie War MachineIn the Marvel zombies universe, War Machine is one of the last heroes to be not infected by the zombie plague.Earth-982MC2 Jim RhodesIn the alternate future of MC2, Jim Rhodes has become a humanoid robot because of nano implants inside him gave him superhuman capabilities but at the cost of his mind being wipe out. Supposedly Tony Stark was supposed to infect himself with the nanotechnology by Jim thought that it was too much of a sacrifice to himself to do such an act, so he volunteered for the experiment. Although now-blessed with exponentially-increasing invulnerability and an impressive array of energy-based attacks, the nanites slowly corrupt Rhodes' mind, eventually destroying his personality and leaving him as little more than a very powerful, humanoid robot. He eventually works as a personal bodyguard for Tony Stark, and although he adopts a super hero uniform. During a mission with members of the original Avengers to bring in the Venom-symbiote. One of the Scarlet Witch's hex bolts hit Jim and caused him to go out of control. Eventually Spider-girl and Normie Osborn who was the user of the symbiote at the time was able to short out the nano-bots that left Jim comatose. Allowing Tony Stark to repair his neural patterns.Earth-1610Earth-1610 UltimateIn the Ultimate Universe, Jim Rhodes is first seen a student being bullied at school until he was defended by Tony Stark. He even let Rhodey wear his Iron Man suit that he and his father was developing. Jim was later making his own armor named War Machine, which he plans on trading with Tony's Iron Man suit when he finished with it. Tony and Rhodey use their armor to go after a terrorist cell for the government. As an adult, Rhodes is recruited into the Avengers by Nick Fury.U.S War MachineIn the alternate universe the series takes place in Rhodey was portrayed the same as his 616 counterpart. He is fired by Tony Stark (who was drunk at the time) for killing an black criminal that had just executed a white woman. The press deemed this a hate crime not knowing the pilot of the War Machine armor was also black. He is attacked by his former friend Parnel Jacobs who is looking for the War Machine armor (that Rhodes no longer has). The duo are then taken into custody by S.H.I.E.L.D. for a new team. S.H.I.E.L.D. has acquired the remains of another War Machine armor and has reverse engineered it for their own special ops team, U.S. War Machines. Rhodes and Jacobs are to comprise part of the team (with Rhodes serving as field commander). Unlike the 616 universe, these armors use standard ballistic armaments, not energy weapons. A fatal flaw in the original design of the armors had the power cell for the armor dead center on the chest. This was fixed immediately.TelevisionIron Man: The Animated Series90's Spider-Man seriesWar Machine appeared as a main character in the 1994 Iron Man series. He was a member of Force Works and Tony Stark's close personal friend. This version of the character also appeared in episodes of X-Men: The Animated Series, The Incredible Hulk, and Spider-Man. He was voiced by James Avery in the first season and by Dorian Harewood in the second.Iron Man: Armored AdventuresWar Machine and Iron ManWar Machine has featured in the most recent animated adventures featuring Iron Man. In the series, the stars have been de-aged into teenagers who are still in high school. Rhodey gains the War Machine armor at the close of season 1, where he uses it to help Tony in a battle against Fin Fang Foom. He was voiced by Daniel Bacon.The Super Hero Squad ShowWar Machine guest-starred in the episode "Tales of Suspense", voiced by Star Trek alum Levar Burton.The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest HeroesEMH War MachineRhodey did not appear in the first season beyond one of the micro episodes that acted as a prequel to the series. He eventually made a proper debut in the season 2 episode "Alone Against AIM", where he used his War Machine armor to help the Avengers fight AIM and the Technovore. When Captain America asked why War Machine was not a member of the Avengers, he responded by saying that he had little desire to be a superhero, and only donned the armor in the first place to keep Tony out of trouble (possibly an inside joke to his absence in the Avenger film).

The War Machine armor appeared in Ultimate Avengers 2, piloted by Tony. Rhodes was voiced by Rodney Saulsberry.Iron ManTerrence Howard as RhodeyIn the 2008 film Iron Man, James Rhodes is played by Terrence Howard. In the film, Rhodes is a US Air Force Colonel who serves as the military's chief liaison to Stark Industries. He is also Tony Stark's most trusted ally and best friend. In film Rhodes is constantly covering for Tony and watching out for his back. In this film Rhodes doesn't don the War Machine armor, there is one particular scene where he glimpses at an older version of Iron Man's armor and proclaims: ''Next time, baby.''Iron Man 2Don Cheadle as War MachineWar Machine appeared in the 2010 cinema release of Iron Man 2, with actor Don Cheadle replacing Terrence Howard from the first movie. Rhodes begins to take a more active role in Tony's new life as Iron Man. Rhodes is at first worried about Tony's declining health, but knows something has to be done. During Tony's birthday party, Stark gets drunk while wearing the armor. he then proceeds to fire his weapons in house.Rhodes seeing the potential danger that may follow, dons one of Tony's older suits. He orders Tony to stand down, Stark on the other hand wants to continue his prty. A fight ensues and Tony clearly has the upperhand. The fight is long and destructive. In the end both armored men end up in the kitchen, staring each other down. A verbal fight ensues. James thinks Tony isn't fit to wear the suit, Tony reacts by by saying Rhodes can't handle the armor even going as far as saying: '' You think you can handle the suit, you think you can become a War Machine!!''.Both men fire of their repulsors at the same time, thereby creating a energy sphere. The sphere grows larger and larger until it explodes in a bright flash. After the flash Tony looks up to see Rhodes at the window with a look of discontent on his face. Rhodes activates his jets and flies off. The following morning we see a military base. James Rhodes arrives at this base in the armor. his superior is very happy with their new addition and contacts Justin Hammer to weaponise the suit. Justin is delighted with the suit and gathers all possible weapons that could be fitted onto the suit. After giving the demonstration Justin asks what Rhodes thinks about it, Rhodes reacts by taking all the weapons.Later at the Stark Expo, Hammer unveils his new military drones, captained by Rhodes in a heavily-weaponized version of the confiscated Mark II armor, now referred to as the Variable Threat Response Battlesuit. Stark arrives at the expo in his new Mark VI armor, attempting to warn Rhodes and find Vanko, but Vanko takes complete control of both the drones and Rhodes's new armor and attacks Iron Man. Rhodes is unable to move and warns Tony of his attacks. Tony, Rhodes and the drones engage in a chase which ends up in a Japanese garden. Black Widow manages to hack Vanko's system and gives Rhodes control over his armor back. Together they fight off the rest of the drones. They then confront Vanko, who has developed a powerful suit of armor for himself based on a Hammer battle suit but incorporating scaled-up plasma whips that he used against Stark earlier. Stark and Rhodes are easily overpowered by Vanko's more powerful armor. Stark and Rhodes are promptly strangled by Vanko in his plasma whips and with their armors being heavily damaged. Stark and Rhodes then overloaded their repulsor gauntlets and aimed the repulsor beams towards one another. The resultant repulsor beam collision created a massive explosion and shockwave that successfully destroyed Vanko's armor. A dying Vanko reveals he had rigged his armor and the drones to self destruct. Iron Man and War machine rush off to save Pepper. Tony saves the girl and they kiss.They are surprised to see Rhodes also on the roof. It turned out that Rhodes arrived at the same rooftop earlier than them and witnessed them kissing. He leaves with the War Machine armor despite Stark's objection, determined to keep the armor for national security purposes.Iron Man: Rise of TechnovoreAnime War MachineWar Machine appears in the Japanese anime film Iron Man: Rise of Technovore, voiced by Hiroki Yasumoto in the original version and by James C.

Lawyers let their guard down during The Annual Gridiron ShowWritten by Staff Reports | | firstname.lastname@example.com
By Sanya Ali, Toledo Free Press Staff Writer
Attorneys will showcase their sillier sides during the 81st Annual Gridiron Show, a talent and variety show put on by the Toledo Junior Bar Association.
The show pokes fun at national and local current events and includes skits, songs and dance numbers. Tickets are on sale for any interested in attending, though photography and videography are prohibited. The event and content of the skits are off-limits to the working press.
This year's event will take place in the Valentine Theater on May 21. The Junior Bar advertised the show mainly through social media.
Sarah Skow, one of the co-presidents of the Junior Bar, has been participating in the show for the past seven years.
Skow, a defense attorney, said she believes lawyers in this city have a special relationship and understanding of law based on their participation in the show each year.
"It is, I think, one of the primary vehicles about why we refer to the 'Toledo way' of practicing law," Skow said. "It inspires camaraderie and develops relationships between colleagues."
Skow learned about the event from her father, the late Judge William Skow, as well as colleagues in the legal field. Her father, a former attorney, participated in the event when she was a child.
Robert Tucker, an associate attorney at Robison, Curphey & O'Connell LLC, first participated in the event in 2010. He has since taken on multiple roles, including actor, singer, dancer and writer, sometimes more than one at a time.
Tucker said even though he is not interested in theater, he has always enjoyed participating in the Gridiron Show alongside other the other lawyers.
"A lot of people in the legal community talk about how Toledo is a good place to practice law," Tucker said. "A good reason why it is the way it is is because young people get to know each other in the Gridiron Show."
The show constantly evolves to fit new generations' ideas of comedy. The performers hope to emulate popular comedy variety shows, while adding a Toledo twist.
"It has always been a satirical review of sorts," Skow said. "I think, in our best moments, we strive to be like the 'Capitol Steps' and 'Saturday Night Live' in some of our materials. It has evolved over the course of 81 years from various venues and also to the cast members are changing."
One member of the cast has been onboard for over four decades, a record for the show. Skow said this proves that the show is the perfect outlet for both " the young and young at heart attorneys."
Gridiron provides what Tucker called a "non-adversarial" environment in which friendships can be formed outside of the traditional courtroom setting. The show has given Tucker and the other lawyers involved a creative outlet and a forum for socialization.
"I also think its really funny and a lot of fun to do," Tucker said. "I've made a lot of good friends and done a lot of things I would not have done."
Skow agreed that the bonds built with fellow lawyers leading up to the show are unrivaled in the legal field.
"I chose to participate because it really is a great way to meet other attorneys in town and to put on these performances," Skow said.
The law firm of Connelly, Jackson, & Collier will host a pre-show party for the cast and crew before the show and hors d'oeuvres and drinks will be served in the lobby of Valentine Theater prior to opening.
Tucker said though time has run out to participate in this year's production, the Junior Bar is looking for patrons to fill the seats and laugh along with the performers.
Skow said she hopes the audience laughs along during some or all of the show, as she and the other performers have been working tirelessly and had fun putting it together.
"I understand that other bar associations had something like Gridiron, but they stopped some decades ago," Skow said. "We've been able to continue it here because of the camaraderie it builds."
Skow also said she hopes the true personal natures of Toledo's lawyers comes across well through the show.
"It's about building a sense of community to the young lawyers and Toledo Bar Association and I think that's why we all do it," Skow said. "It's a fun way to show what our legal community has, and that's a lot of good quality people."

Hmm. Sounds like that was avoidable.
That is still animal cruelty. One does not house/keep animals in unsafe conditions.
...one "preventable" death is to many...let alone this fatal farce...hopefully some heads roll for this, courtesy of an Orc's axe...
Which means that Shasta will not be going to see this movie....
Enjoyed the first three films, but think they made enough money in them to house the animals used in this production humanely..why does Anna Sewell's children's book Black Beauty come to mind? Not right to use them for profit and not look out for their welfare..
Peter Jackson's statements denying the production's role in the animal deaths seems pretty legit to me. I agree with PETA in principle, but that organization is run by lunatics; it seems to me like they were wrong to immediately brand the production as being at fault. And odds are they knew that, and took this action only to get themselves some free publicity. Two wrongs rarely make a right.
PETA has been known for their dramatics, and I personally do not agree with a lot of their actions. However, the wranglers who cared for said animals where the ones who brought this situation to light. They are the ones who said the production co. was responsible. The American Humane Ass. oversaw only the filming, not the facilities where the animals were kept. The wranglers expressed concerns to their supervisors, and the production co- Warner Bro.
The buck stops at the one who produced this film, who chose the facility site and ignore repeated concerns. If you produce a film you take responsibility for your actors as well as any animals involved. One can delegate to others, but in the end they are responsible.
One death, one injury was too much. Situation was brought to light and ignored.

To The Editor:
I agree with the concept that the Water Task Force has explained, that the operating and infrastructure cost of the water system should be shared by all the users. Since all taxpayers are indirectly the owners of some of the major real estate that directly benefits from the fire protection, there is no logical reason why any taxpayer should expect to get a free ride. I would expect that the Water Task Force will get professional advice on the proper way to apportion the cost including the Fayston share, and I think the taxpayers will then understand that even though their actual home does not gain additional fire protection, since we all share in the ownership of some of the buildings that gain fire protection, we really are users of the system and should pay.

The present invention pertains to marker bands for in-vivo radiographic visualization and medical devices that include a marker band. More particularly, the present invention pertains to marker bands that include one or more holes or slots defined therein and medical devices that include these modified marker bands with polymeric material filling the holes or slots.
A wide variety of radiopaque marker bands have been developed for intracorporal medical devices. Some of the devices that include marker bands are guidewires and catheters. Of the known marker bands and intracorporal medical devices with marker bands, each has certain advantages and disadvantages. There is an ongoing need to provide alternative designs and methods of making and using marker bands and medical devices with marker bands.
The invention provides design, material and manufacturing method alternatives for radiopaque marker bands, and medical devices with marker bands. In at least some embodiments, the marker bands include a body region having one or more holes or slots formed therein. The holes may desirably impact the bonding between the marker band and a catheter shaft or other suitable structure. These and some of the other features and characteristics of example embodiments are described in more detail below.
The following description should be read with reference to the drawings wherein like reference numerals indicate like elements throughout the several views. The detailed description and drawings illustrate example embodiments of the claimed invention.
Generally, the purpose for including marker band 20 as a part of catheter 10 or any other medical device is to aid in the visualization of catheter 10 (via any number of known visualization techniques) while the medical device is in use within the body. Typically the visualization techniques used rely on marker band 20 being made from or otherwise including a radiopaque material. Radiopaque materials are understood to be materials capable of producing a relatively bright image on a fluoroscopy screen or another imaging technique during a medical procedure. This relatively bright image aids the user of catheter 10 in determining its location. Some examples of radiopaque materials can include, but are not limited to, gold, platinum, platinum-iridium, palladium, tantalum, tungsten alloy, plastic material loaded with a radiopaque filler, and the like.
Marker band 20 may be incorporated into catheter 10 by disposing marker band 20 over catheter shaft 12 during the manufacturing process. This manufacturing step may also include securing the position of marker band 20 relative to shaft 12. Securing the position of marker band 20 may be important for a number of reasons. For example, if marker band 20 is properly secured, the clinician can rely on the known position of marker band 20 in order to accurately assess the position of the remainder of catheter 10. This may include the clinician being able to know the precise location of the distal end of catheter 10 by virtue of visualizing marker band 20 and knowing how far marker band 20 is from the distal end of catheter 10. This may be critically important when catheter 10 is being used in a particular sensitive location, such as the central nervous system, because errantly positioning the catheter 10 could damage sensitive areas. It can be appreciated that given the small scale of catheters and blood vessel, even a very small shift in the position of marker band 20 can have real impact on a medical intervention.
Marker band 20 may include a number of refinements, which may provide a number of desirable features to catheter 10 and/or marker band 20 itself. These refinements may include improving the bonding between marker band 20 and shaft 12. For example, marker band 20 may include one or more holes or slits 22 formed therein, as shown in
The manufacturing steps that can be used to create the interlocking structure or arrangement between marker band 20 and shaft 12 may include extruding polymer layer 24 over marker band 20 and liner 28. Liner 28 may comprise a generally tubular shaft that may be made of a metal, metal alloy, polymer, composite material, and the like, or any other suitable material. For example, liner 28 may comprise a stainless steel or nickel-titanium alloy hypodermic tube (i.e., a "hypotube"), a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) liner or etched PTFE liner, or any other suitable structure. During the extrusion, polymer layer 24 may be suitably molten or sufficiently adapted to flow through holes 22 and into space 26. Alternatively, polymer layer 24 can become disposed within holes 22 and space 26 by heating polymer layer 24 as a part of the extrusion or in a separate manufacturing methodology. It can be appreciated that a number of other manufacturing methods may be substituted that generally result in an exterior layer becoming disposed over marker band 20, within holes 22, and under marker band 20 (i.e., between marker band 20 and liner 28).
Including marker band 20 with holes 22 may be desirable for a number of other reasons. For example, holes 22 may allow for less material to be used for securing marker band 20 to shaft 12 (and/or liner 28). Accordingly, catheter 10 can be manufactured with a decreased outer profile. Reducing the amount of material used may also increase the flexibility, which may be desirable. In addition, if spaces 26 are formed during the manufacturing process (which can be the case in medical devices that do not include marker band 20) the outer surface of the medical device may form a corresponding outward projection or "bump". This may create an uneven outer surface that may not be desirable. Therefore, the use of marker band 20 may reduce the prevalence of these "bumps". Moreover, the use of marker band 20 may reduce the amount of manufacturing steps required to build catheter 10, which can simplify the manufacturing process and can reduce manufacturing costs.
Similarly to what is described above, marker band 20 can be disposed over liner 28 (or any other portion of shaft 12) by sliding marker band 20 thereover to the desired position. In some embodiments, the desired position for marker band 20 is near the distal end of the device. However, marker band 20 can be disposed at essentially any position along shaft 12. Moreover, any number of marker bands 20 may be used, such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or more marker bands. If it is not practical to slide marker band 20 over shaft 12, it may be desirable to form marker band 20 from a generally flat or planar sheet of material and then wrap the material into a generally cylindrical shape (or any other suitable shape) about shaft 12. Typically there will be a relatively tight tolerance between marker band 20 and shaft 12.
Once properly positioned, polymer layer 24 can be disposed over marker band 20. As described above, polymer layer 24 can flow through holes 22 and fill any void 26 that might otherwise be created between marker band 20 and shaft 12. Accordingly, it may be desirable to use a thermoplastic material (i.e., a material whose viscosity changes with the induction of heat), a thermoplastic-like material, a thermoset material, combinations thereof, or the like for polymer layer 24. Some examples of suitable polymers (including thermoplastics) may include polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE), fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP), polyoxymethylene (POM), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyether block ester, polyurethane, polypropylene (PP), polyvinylchloride (PVC), polyether-ester (for example, a polyether-ester elastomer such as ARNITEL® available from DSM Engineering Plastics), polyester (for example, a polyester elastomer such as HYTREL® available from DuPont), polyamide (for example, DURETHAN® available from Bayer or CRISTAMID® available from Elf Atochem), elastomeric polyamides, block polyamide/ethers, polyether block amide (PEBA, for example, available under the trade name PEBAX®), silicones, polyethylene (PE), Marlex high-density polyethylene, Marlex low-density polyethylene, linear low density polyethylene (for example, REXELL®), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyetheretherketone (PEEK), polyimide (PI), polyetherimide (PEI), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), polyphenylene oxide (PPO), polysulfone, nylon, perfluoro(propyl vinyl ether) (PFA), low durometer thermal plastics (e.g., 25-50 Sure D), tungsten loaded thermal plastic compound, bismuth subcarbonate loaded thermal plastic compound, barium sulfate loaded thermal plastic compound, other suitable materials, or mixtures, combinations, copolymers thereof, polymer/metal composites, and the like. In some embodiments, polymer layer 24 can be blended with a liquid crystal polymer (LCP). For example, the mixture can contain up to about 5% LCP.
Alternatively, polymer layer 24 may be or include a coating, for example, a lubricious, a hydrophilic, a protective, or other type of coating may be applied over portions or all of shaft 12 or other portions of catheter 10. Hydrophobic coatings such as fluoropolymers provide a dry lubricity which improves catheter and guidewire handling and device exchanges. Lubricious coatings improve steerability and improve lesion crossing capability. Suitable lubricious polymers are well known in the art and may include silicone and the like, hydrophilic polymers such as high-density polyethylene (HDPE), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyarylene oxides, polyvinylpyrolidones, polyvinylalcohols, hydroxy alkyl cellulosics, algins, saccharides, caprolactones, and the like, and mixtures and combinations thereof. Hydrophilic polymers may be blended among themselves or with formulated amounts of water insoluble compounds (including some polymers) to yield coatings with suitable lubricity, bonding, and solubility. Some other examples of such coatings and materials and methods used to create such coatings can be found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,139,510 and 5,772,609, which are incorporated herein by reference.
The shape of the holes defined in the various marker bands may also vary. For example,
Similar to what is described above, holes or slits 322 can vary in number and arrangement. For example,
It should be understood that this disclosure is, in many respects, only illustrative. Changes may be made in details, particularly in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of steps without exceeding the scope of the invention. The invention's scope is, of course, defined in the language in which the appended claims are expressed.

The best idea: Playlists. Put stuff (Music, Movies, TV Shows, iTunes U, Books and Podcasts) into a playlist for a family member. Repeat for the number of people in your family. When you sync their respective iOS device, only select their playlist.
Daily Tip: How to manage syncing multiple iPhones, iPod touches, and iPads with iTunes
Have an iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, or any combination of iOS devices and curious how to manage just what music, apps and videos get synced to which device? Apple has posted a handy tip on doing just that. Check it out after the break!
Let's say you want your podcasts only on your iPod touch, your games only on your iPad, and your getting things done stuff only on your iPhone? (Or any combination of music, TV shows, podcasts, apps, games -- you get the idea.) It even works if you have a lot of devices, like separate iPod touches for all the kids. There's no limit to the number you can sync, so here's what you do:
- Plug your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad into iTunes via the USB dock cable.
- Find it listed under Devices in the left sidebar and click on it.
- Go through the tabs on the top of the iTunes window and select the music, movies, apps, podcasts, etc. you want to sync. (Bonus tip: the big, colorful capacity gauge at the bottom keeps track of how much space you have left so you can't add more than your device can handle.)
- Your selection can include none, all/automatic, or just the exact content you wish.
- Sync!
- Repeat with all your (or your family's) devices.
iTunes will remember the individual settings for all your iPhones, iPads and iPod touch and never confuse them so you get just the content you want on exactly the device you want. Every time you sync the content will get updated with whatever new media and apps you've purchased and selected and you can change your selections any time your device is plugged in via the tabs.
If you're using iTunes to manage multiple devices let us know what tips you've come up with to make your life a little easier. And if you have any questions leave them in the comments!
Tips of the day will range from beginner-level 101 to advanced-level ninjary. If you already know this tip, keep the link handy as a quick way to help a friend. If you have a tip of your own you'd like to suggest, add them to the comments or send them in to email@example.com. (If it's especially awesome and previously unknown to us, we'll even give ya a reward...)

Daily Tip: How to manage syncing multiple iPhones, iPod touches, and iPads with iTunes
It has confused my iPad and iPhone many a times
My wife and I both have an iphone 4 + 1 ipod touch. We use one computer to sync all 3 devices. Since we both use the same bookmarks, calendar & contacts we use the same user profile however, Her music preferences differ from mine so we use 2 seperate libraries. To do this is easy all you need to do is hold down the SHIFT key THEN launch Itunes. You will be prompted which library you want to open, choose your library and your good to go. If you need to sync different calendar & contacts and you use one pc you will need to set up 2 user accounts on your system. To share apps and music downloaded from itunes setup the same itunes account on both profiles. You'll need to go into your mobile apps directory and copy the .ipa file to the second profile to sync the apps. This will allow you to purchase one time and share on all devices.
Thanks for all the good info here, I have been lurking since I became an iPhone convert.
My concern right now, is that we have 2 iPhone4s, mine and my wife's, but mine is synced to my computer, as I travel a lot and her's is sync'd to her computer. We use the same iTunes account for both computers. Can I sync the apps for both, so we don't purchase twice?
Also, if we wanted to swap iphones (both on Vodaphone Spain) how would I do this, and still have my setup as I like (reason being, hers is unlocked and mine is locked)?
I agree the previous post to set up separate users on your Mac/PC.
haha. too funny.
Wife and I share an iTunes account so we don't have to buy things twice. Every time one of us syncs, whatever the other one bought on their phone automatically gets added to the other's phone. Kinda of annoying, but not the end of the world.
There's a setting on the iTunes app sync page for "automatically sync new apps" or something close to that. Unchecked it, and you'll stop having your wife's yoga / cooking / period tracker apps sneaking on to your iPhone!
Yea, but how to to manage the contact list on two separate iPhones with separate iTune accounts on the same computer? Some how our contact always merge.
Another question:
I just bought an iPad and I set up a new account for it. I have an older account that I don't use anymore that was used for an old iPod Touch 1st Gen.
Problem is - iTunes still has the old iPod Touch Apps in memory!! Signing out of the old account and into the new one did not help.
What else should I be doing?
I'm managing a group of 20 iPods and 10 iPads for my school, all which have all the same apps that need to be on each. Given the quantity of apps, our district decided that it would be to everyone's best interest to sort them all into folders to make them easier to locate. Is there any way to do this without having to go through and create the folder and drag each app into it for every individual device?
My wife and I have different iTunes accounts. We want to share the calendar in particular. How do we share a cloud
It keeps saying that it will erase everything thats on my phone, how do I keep my music thats already on there and add new stuff?
I got my two younger children iPod touches for Christmas and I have them on my iTunes account. Now every time I plug them up to my laptop they automatically sync to one another (ex.every app my son downloaded goes onto my daughters and vice versa. I have no idea how to change these settings. Anyone know? Thanks in advance!
Wow, marvelous blog format! How lengthy have you been running a blog for? you made running a blog glance easy. The whole glance of your site is fantastic, let alone the content!
My boyfriend is going through a nasty divorce and got his kids a phone so they can always be in contact with him, well he set it up with his iTunes account so every app he downloads on his phone is going to go to theirs is what I am thinking and not only that but the ex will have all of his phone numbers. We have set up the smart controls but how do we have the kids phone not have all of his info in it?
We are managing a group of 30 iPads for our school, all which have all the same apps that need to be on each. Given the quantity of apps, we'd like to sort them all into folders to make them easier to locate. Is there any way to do this without having to go through and create the folder and drag each app into it for every individual device?
My problem is that I'd like to use some of the same sync settings on two different devices... I use my iPhone and iPad all the time, and since I am constantly listening to music, I like to have the same set of music from my library on both devices. Few things are more frustrating to me than wanting to listen to something specific and not having it on the device I have with me. Because I keep a wide variety of songs, artists, albums, etc. it really takes quite a while to go through the huge lists in the music tab and pick out which ones get synced. Do you know of any iTunes feature I may have missed that might allow me to just... do it once for one device and have it apply to both?

By paul from USA on 2012-06-08 20:59:25Things I liked:I like a lot of things about this rifle. When it came I thought, that's a lot of rifle for the money! It has a nice weight to it, maybe more than you'd want to carry all day in the field, but to me the heft is an advantage. It feels very solid and I think the mass helps accuracy. The trigger is fine. This rifle is manufactured under license in China, but it seems very well made! and I have had zero problems with it. No leaking seals, no loose screws, zero problems. I like the wood stock a lot. Cocking effort is manageable. I have no complaints! It is also deadly accurate. I'm picking off crows at 50-80 feet using Beeman Crow Magnums. I haven't even mounted the scope, just using the nice open sights. I do miss some shots, but I believe when I miss, my marksmanship is probably more to blame than the rifle. It's a great way to train yourself to be a more accurate shooter. Kill power with the crow magnums is excellent. If you hit them in the wing or tail you may just get a squawk and knock off a couple feathers, but anywhere else and they crash & burn. You do not need .22 for these critters. The muzzle velocity with the .177 pellets is impressive. This is a real weapon. I've had the rifle for over a year, and have fired 500 rounds through it. Highly recommended!
Things I would have changed:Don't want to sound like some company shill, but I honestly cannot think of what I would change. Great rifle for the money.

By Blue from USA on 2010-01-08 00:47:06Things I liked:DO NOT BUY THIS AIR RIFLE...COMPLETE CHINESE CRAP. I DON'T EVER SPEND TIME REVIEWING ANYTHING, BUT THIS IS WORTH THE WARNING. ALL THE SCREWS CAME LOOSE, ON BARREL, AND ON SCOPE AND ON STOCK. AFTER, LOCTITE BLUE ON ALL, STILL ALL CAME LOOSE BECAUSE OF HEAVY RECOIL. CANNOT ZERO SCOPE FOR LONG. TRIGGER IS NOT REALLY ADJUSTABLE, IF YOU TURN TOO FAR, TRIGGER CEASES TO FUNCTION, FEELS LIKE A BROKEN CAP GUN TRIGGER. TONS OF CREEP IN TRIGGER ONCE THE SLACK IT TAKEN IN, THROWS OFF ACCURACY. Let's not forget the significant barrel droop. Also, you will have to refinish the wood, comes with a very dull, dry finish, needs tung oil or wax. Very heavy gun.
Things I would have changed:MAKE A BETTER GUN
What others should know:SAVE YOUR MONEY AND BUY AN R-9 USED. RUGER FAILED. The gun looked great when I bought it, functioned well for a time and then completely fell apart on me.

I'm not a REAL sensitive soul, but I'm feeling that you didn't find the film to your liking...never seen it, don't intend to-though I love Sir Anthony-I'll stay with my page flipping and my own movies of the mind...
My reaction wasn't quite as visceral as yours, but yeah, I agree. Compared to the book, it was barely entertaining. But then again, I am one of those annoying folks that think that the book is ALWAYS better.
Well, for a version of Low Men in Yellow Coats, stripped of all the DT references, it wasn't THAT bad LOL.
('Apart from that, Mrs Kennedy, what did you think of Dallas?')
You've got to admit that Sir Anthony was stunning as Ted Brautigan, and I hope he'll reprise the role in the DT movies.
Long days and pkeasant nights
Watched this movie a few months back, and really enjoyed it. Always put off watching as I love the book, and didn't want to be disappointed, but it is what it is.
I like the way it mainly focused on the first story, and apart from not mentioning the origin of the low men, and breakers, it was pretty damn close to the story. People who aren't aware of the book or DT universe would not have understood or appreciated those references, so I accepted the explanation of the low men being FBI/CIA. It made more sense like that for the viewing audience, turning the movie into a classic "coming of age" story, rather than something "other wordly" and maybe confusing.
The friendship between Sully, Bobby and Carol was captured perfectly, and the latter twos blossoming childhood romance was beautiful to watch. As for Anthony Hopkins as "Ted"...perfectemundo!
Well Ok I do actually agree with some of your comments on the good points of the movie. The start was really faithful to the book and was enjoyable but as the movie progressed the script made weaker and weaker choices away from the original and then just turned the story into hall mark sappiness. As a "coming of age" story it was ok, but it was SO GUTLESS compared to the book. Where were the Lord of the Flies reference? Where was the fear? Gutless. I can envision a real film version being made but it would need a good budget for those living breathing cars and aliens. I do not always think the book is better as I realise that films need to cut but the second half just gutted the original story which was upsetting when the first half seemed pretty faithful. And then the directors commentary on the DVD was so pompous and pretentious and he barely even mentioned Stephen King or the book.
I'm just wondering that now with the announcement of the Dark Tower books to be made into a film/TV series, and hoping that they will leave in any and all scenes/references to Ted and Sheemie, will someone actually go back and re-make 'Hearts in Atlantis' and leave in all DT/Low Men references? It would be cool to see an actual film version that sticks to the storyline in HIA.
Would love to see all the stories in HIA - Low Men, Hearts in Atlantis, Blind Willie, Why We're In Vietnam, Heavenly Shades of Night are Falling - made into a movie or a mini-series - but then it probably wouldn't appeal to those who didn't live the 60's & Vietnam and every other decade like I have ....
I know for me, my father's service has always held some fascination for me (he was a drill sargent and an engineer in Na Trang in 1970) now, especially, since he was diagnosed with diabetes last year and he's been having pancreatic and gall bladder problems that the VA has tied into his exposure to Agent Orange.
I, too, woudl like to see Anthony Hopkins reprise his role as Ted Brautigan in the DT movies.
I admit I would like to see it! (I mean last time I checked I still had a pulse!) So definitely would like to see it. but if theres no low men and no DT references then its a waste of rime, money and SK's name-isnt it???

Its been a busy week in MMA, and it all culminates today with one spectacular event: the World Series of Fightings announcement that it will award its first championship belt in October.
Josh Burkman and Steve Carl will vie for the welterweight strap at World Series of Fighting 6 on Oct. 26 in Coral Gables, inaugurating a title that will no doubt be contested in several thrilling scraps over decades of peaceful coexistence with Major League Baseball.I think that matchup will be something special, WSOF President Ray Sefo said. The whole lineup were planning will be fantastic, and I look forward to making more announcements very soon.
The card will co-feature a bantamweight fight between Carson Little Juggernaut Beebe and Marlon Moraes, as well as Dan Lauzon versus undefeated lightweight Justin Gidget Gaethje. The main card will air live on NBC Sports Network beginning at 9pm. As of press time, Gaethje has not agreed to his nickname.

An employee of a delivery company was headed to his last stop. It happened to be a local bank that was closed for the day. But as he drove in the parking lot, he noticed a man face down on the front mat, not moving.
Police arrived to see if the man was okay. They woke him and he explained that he was headed home on foot to Huger when the rain began. He said he took cover in the front of the bank. The man was then given a ride to a gas station closer to his home where he was picked up by a friend. Police noticed nothing amiss at the bank.
