Question:Custom Ringtones Show Up in iTunes Folder but Not on iPhone
Ive recently upgraded from a 3GS to a 4G. I have a few custom ringtones that I created from .MP3 files (converted to .m4r files). I had these same ringtones installed on my 3GS and want them on my 4G.
I transferred to my 4G by dragging them from the Windows folder to the iTunes device folder. The 5 ringtones show up in iTunes under the Ringtones folder. Only one of them shows up on the phone as being transferred.
I had done this a couple of days ago, and noticed then that only one ringtone was being shown under Custom Ringtones on my phone. Tonight, I uninstalled them all, rebooted my phone, and then re-dragged the files as per above. Again, all show up in the folder on the iPhone in iTunes, but one shows up on the phone. This is now a different one than a couple of days ago.
Soooo... what can be causing this? The files are apparently on my phone, but not appearing in the usable list. I need some help in resolving this. Ive looked through these forums and seen similar issues. There doesnt seem to be a proper way to do this. I manage my phone manually, and have not done a sync with the ringtones as they show up in the folder... (I dont really see the need to sync if theyre appearing in iTunes as on the phone).

Toledo Overcomes Double-Digit Halftime Deficit to Defeat Buffalo, 77-75
BUFFALO, NY - Toledo overcame a 15-point halftime deficit and pulled off a thrilling 77-75 victory at Buffalo on Saturday afternoon inside Alumni Arena. With the come-from-behind triumph, the Rockets' extend their win streak to a season-high five consecutive games and improve to 13-7 overall, 6-2 in the Mid-American Conference.
"I couldn't be more proud of our effort in the second half," two-time MAC Coach of the Year Tricia Cullop said. "I told the team at halftime that it wasn't about x's and o's. It was about giving more effort, and I wanted to know who wanted it more. This game could have gone either way, and we are fortunate it went our way."
Sophomore Andola Dortch paced the 2011 WNIT champions with 18 points, five assists and four rebounds in a team-high 37 minutes. Dortch was clutch in the final minutes of regulation, scoring five of the team's last seven points to help the 2010-11 MAC regular-season champs overcome a 49-34 deficit at the intermission.
"Andola knocked down some big shots for us in the second half," Cullop said.
Junior Yolanda Richardson contributed 17 points and a game-high 11 rebounds in a winning effort to post her fourth double-double of the season. Richardson was also credited with a contest-best four rejections against the Bulls (6-16, 1-7 MAC), surpassing Karin Hoogendam (138 blocks, 2001-05) to become UT's all-time shot blocker leader with 140.
Joining Dortch and Richardson in double figures were senior Courtney Ingersoll (11 points, all in second half, team-high three steals) and classmate Haylie Linn (10 points) to remain in a first-place tie with Eastern Michigan for the top spot in the MAC West Division.
"The unsung hero in tonight's game was Courtney," said Cullop, who improved to 4-0 all-time against Buffalo. "She hit a couple big three's and came up with some big steals down the stretch when we really needed them. I was extremely proud of her."
The Rockets shot a respectable 48.3 percent (29-of-60) from the field, including a slightly-improved 50.0 percent (15-of-30) over the final 20 minutes to win their fifth straight contest against Buffalo. UT also finished with a 40-37 edge on the glass and has now won the battle of the boards on 14 occasions this season.
Facing a sizable deficit, Toledo started the second stanza with a 10-2 burst to close the gap to 51-44 at 16:15, forcing UB into a timeout. Dortch contributed four points in the surge, while Richardson, junior Lecretia Smith and freshman Inma Zanoguera tallied baskets to make it a three-possession contest.
The Rockets could not pull any closer for the next 10-plus minutes, until they utilized a mini 7-3 run to trim the deficit to 63-58 with 6:03 left in regulation. The Midnight Blue & Gold received a spark off the bench from junior Kyle Baumgartner and sophomore Janelle Reed-Lewis to give them a fighting chance down the stretch.
The Bulls quickly re-established a nine-point bulge, before UT countered with a 9-0 run to complete the comeback and draw the teams even for the first time since the opening tip, 67-67, at 2:53. Ingersoll hit a pair of free throws and scored five points to spearhead the run, while Richardson and Dortch also tallied baskets.
Nytor Longar split a pair of free throws to momentarily give the lead back to UB, but Toledo's Ingersoll hit her third triple of the half to put the visitors in front for the first time, 70-68, with 2:25 remaining in the contest.
Buffalo's Longar converted a three-point play and Brittney Hedderson knocked down a jumper to give the home team the lead back, 73-70, with only 1:22 showing on the clock.
The Rockets desperately needed points with time becoming an issue and Dortch and Linn delivered with consecutive field goals to establish a lead they would not surrender, 74-73, with 35 seconds remaining.
Margeaux Gupilan misfired on the Bulls' next possession and they were forced to foul Dortch with 9.1 seconds showing on the clock. The Akron, OH native drained both charity tosses to establish a three-point bugle, 76-73.
UB quickly pushed the ball up the floor and received a layup from Teresa Semalulu. The home team was forced to foul Dortch again with only 3.1 seconds remaining.
Dortch split the free throws to keep it a one-possession game and gave the Bulls one final chance to possible force overtime, but UB was unable to get a shot off as the clock expired.
In the first half, Toledo struggled out of the gates for the second consecutive game. UT missed it first four shots from the floor, committed four turnovers and trailed 13-4 with 15:20 left in the opening period. UB's strong start was sparked by five points from Hedderson and four points each from Longar and Semalulu.
Toledo was not able to find any rhythm at either end of the court as the first half wore on and three-consecutive baskets from Buffalo's Christa Baccas made the deficit 22-12 at 9:27.
UT went on a brief spurt to close within six points, but Buffalo closed the stanza with a 23-14 run over the final six-plus minutes to open up a 49-34 advantage at the intermission. The 49 points surrendered in a half are the most by Toledo this season, surpassing Eastern Michigan's 47 first-half points on Wednesday, Jan. 11.
Hedderson led Buffalo with a game-high 23 points, but the MAC's second-leading scorer was held to only seven points in the second half.
The Bulls shot 49.2 percent (27-of-63) from the floor, including 28.6 percent (8-of-28) in the second period.
"We came up with some huge stops in the second half," Cullop said. "We needed everyone of them because of the deficit we put ourselves in."
The Rockets return to action on Wednesday, Feb. 1 when they host MAC East Division foe Akron. The opening tip against the Zips is slated for 7:00 p.m. inside Savage Arena.

The first section of the canal between Sète and Toulouse was built in1681 by Pierre-Paul Riquet. He intended to continue the canal as far as the Atlantic, but as the state coffers were empty, the project was abandoned. For nearly two centuries, the river Garonne
had to suffice for the transport of goods from Toulouse to Bordeaux. This journey took 20 days to complete due to navigation difficulties: during high tides or in times of drought, use of the river was impossible so passage between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean was along the Spanish coast via the Straits of Gibraltar. This long journey of 3,000 km meant braving storms and pirate attacks. By the beginning of the 19th century and the Industrial revolution, the need for a more efficient and humane mode of shipping was realised and the construction of the Canal du Midi relaunched. It was opened in 1856 and runs alongside the river Garonne for 193 km..

As far as I know the only way to install TL2 in Linux is through wine. TL2 does not and has no plans on supporting a native Linux install (last I heard).
You should just be able to run steam through wine and install it, in vanilla wine. That is the way I did it.

Look for Eddie O'Brien Memorabilia:Barnes & Noble | Amazon.com | eBay.com
Eddie O'Brien
The embodiment of the pitiful Pirates of 1946 to 1957 was the set of identical twin brothers, Johnny and Eddie O'Brien. Both of them had business majors at Seattle University. Branch Rickey signed them to a $40,000 bonus contract to be Pittsburgh's double play combination. The pair debuted in 1953, then served in the military in 1954. Eddie's light bat was tried everywhere, including pitcher.
The fun-loving brothers derived great pleasure from confusing managers, and the Topps baseball card company, as to who was who; Topps solved the problem one year by putting both of them on one card. Both became successful out of baseball, Johnny as a King County (Washington) commissioner and then the head of security at the Kingdome and Eddie as an energy consultant in Alaska. Eddie was also athletic director at Seattle University (1958-1968) and a coach for the 1969 Seattle Pilots. (EC)

T-Mobile myTouch 4G
Last Updated: Dec 5th,2010
The T-Mobile myTouch 4G was the second phone in T-Mobile's lineup to take advantage of their new 4G network. This latest addition to the myTouch family has a 3.8 inch touchscreen, 1 Ghz processor, and comes with Android 2.2.
Perhaps the most unique thing about this phone is that it's the first phone on T-Mobile USA that is sporting a front facing camera for video chat. The video chat services are provided by a special version of Qik that is built solely for the mytouch 4G.
The mytouch 4G was released on November 3, 2010.

Right from my first day at Phandroid, till last week there's always been some good natured banter in the comments regarding me still using the T-Mobile MyTouch 4G.

The showpiece event will run from November 19 to 24 at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry and will bring together many of the best snooker players on the planet. ITV4 will provide extensive live coverage.
Promoted by Matchroom Sport, it will also be televised live on CCTV in China and syndicated globally. There will be a top prize of £100,000 on offer and current champions of snooker's major tournaments, including the likes of Ronnie O'Sullivan, Judd Trump, Mark Selby, Neil Robertson and Ding Junhui, will be eligible to compete.
The tournament will start with a quartet of four-man groups, with the winner of each group to progress to the semi-finals. The final on Sunday November 24 will be over 19 frames.
Snooker returned to the ITV network for the first time in 20 years earlier in 2013 with coverage of the Haikou World Open.

This patent application is a continuation in part of and claims the benefit of priority under 35 U.S.C. §120 to U.S. Nonprovisional application Ser. No. 10/288,615, filed Nov. 5, 2002 now U.S. Pat. No. 7,527,644, which is incorporated in its entirety by this reference.
The present invention relates generally to medical devices directed to the prevention of luminal occlusion, and more particularly to stents and methods for making and utilizing these stents in the treatment of both benign and malignant conditions wherein the functionality of the stents is determined by geometrical variability of the scaffolding and concomitant interstices.
Stents are devices that are inserted into a vessel or passage to keep the lumen open and prevent closure due to a stricture, external compression, or internal obstruction. In particular, stents are commonly used to keep blood vessels open in the coronary arteries and they are frequently inserted into the ureters to maintain drainage from the kidneys, the bile duct for pancreatic cancer or cholangiocarcinoma or the esophagus for strictures or cancer. Vascular as well as not vascular stenting has evolved significantly; unfortunately there remain significant limitations with respect to the technology for producing stents suitable to various portions of a patient's anatomy.
Historically, in order to provide a stent with varying characteristics, the stent had to be manufactured from multiple materials, at least one for each characteristic desired. As a result, many of these stents are woven from two or more metals having differing shape-memories for example. Unfortunately, braided stents are vulnerable to premature obsolescence. Moreover, providing multiple material types in a single stent may lead to inconsistent characteristics along the surface area of the stent. This is particularly undesirable when the stent is to be placed in vascular or nonvascular lumens that have been occluded for one reason or another. The stent needs to be stiffer in some regions while more flexible in others.
Additional limitations of existing devices involve the constraint of flow dynamics through the internal diameter because of their scaffolding architecture. In particular, billiary stents can easily become clogged by the stagnation of bile there through depending on exactly where the stent is placed between the liver, the gallbladder and the duodenum.
Therefore, there remains an existing need for a therapeutic stent that can have varying characteristics along its surface area while being stamped, not braded, from a single base material. Moreover, there is a need for such a therapeutic stent where the relative hardness, softness, flexibility, stiffness and radial force can be modified as a function of geometric considerations rather than material considerations. In particular, there is a need for a stent that is divided into zones so as to allow the stent to have predetermined characteristics in one zone and could conceivably have drastically different characteristics in an adjacent zone so as to allow for stents that can be tailored to anatomical lumens in general and the particular lumen topography of a specific patient in particular. Moreover, a need remains for a stent that is specifically designed to resist adhesion and facilitate the flow of viscid fluids.
It is a principal purpose of the present invention to provide a stent, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, which combines many of the excellent characteristics of both silicone and metal stents while eliminating the undesirable ones. In particular, it is an objective of a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention to provide a stent that is easily installed, yet in alternative embodiments, removable. Moreover the stent in accordance with this embodiment of the present invention would not cause material infections and may be capable of reducing infection. Therefore, a principal objective of a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention is to provide a prosthesis that is suitable for both permanent and temporary use while being easy to insert, reposition and remove.
A principal objective of a preferred embodiment of the present invention is to provide a stent that may be stamped from preferably a single material that is capable of maintaining its axial working length when radially compressed. To this end, the stent does not have a seam that could aggravate luminal tissue. In particular, a stent in accordance with the present invention is formed using a tool that molds the stents outer contour as well as its interstices.
It is yet another objective of an exemplary embodiment of the present invention to provide a stent that can be indicated for the treatment of benign and malignant disease and improve the way clinicians treat malignant obstructions.
Still another objective of the present invention is to provide a stent and method for installing the stent that is economical and suitable for routine purposes. Moreover, the stent will have minimal migration, cause minimal tissue granulation, will not foreshorten after deployment and mucociliary clearance will not be problematic.
Yet another objective of an exemplary embodiment in accordance with the present invention is to provide a prosthesis that will have superior internal to external diameter ratio, superior radial force with dynamic expansion, while being suitable for use in pediatric and adult patients with malignant and benign disease.
A principal objective of an exemplary stent in accordance with the present invention is to provide a family of stents where the relative hardness/softness of regions of the stent can differ from other regions of the stent to provide additional patient comfort and resistance to radial forces.
An additional objective in accordance with an exemplary embodiment is to provide a family of stents with novel interstice configurations that facilitate flexibility, durability and/or proper installation.
Still another objective of a preferred embodiment of the present invention is to provide a self-expanding stent having the above benefits that also defines a plurality of apertures at the termini of the stent for, inter alia, removal of the stent.
An additional objective in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention is to provide a billiary stent specifically designed to facilitate fluid flow dynamics generally and bile flow in particular. In the furtherance of this and other objectives, a substantially cone shaped billiary stent is provided that harnesses the benefits of fluid mechanics to prevent undesireable obstruction of the stent lumen.
Further objectives, features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
A preferred embodiment of the stent, in accordance with the present invention, provides a stent that prevents epithelialization of the stent and is not subject to premature elongation and foreshortening but is capable of engaging the desired implantation location. The stent also retains its axial length while undergoing radial compression.
The stent is preferably formed from a composite material selected from the group consisting essentially of Ni, C, Co, Cu, Cr, H, Fe, Nb, O, Ti and combinations thereof. The composite material is generally formed into a compressed tube from which the stent is etched and is formed on a suitable shaping device to give the stent the desired external geometry. Both the synthetic collar techniques and in vitro valuation techniques show the remarkable ability of stents in accordance with the present invention to convert acting force into deformation work absorbed by the angled structure, which prevents excessive scaffolding stress and premature material fatigue and accelerated obsolescence.
Though one skilled in the stent engineering art, once apprised of the present application, would be able to manufacture a stent consistent with the present invention by other methods, a preferred method of manufacturing such stents follows. As stated above a composite material is selected and a blank is formed there from. The blank is preferably laser etched and the etch work is generally verified for accuracy using visual recording microscopy. Dimensional measurements are taken to ensure strut thickness, segment angles, zone placement, etc. Moreover, the stent is preferably formed on a shaping tool that has substantially the desired contour of the external stent dimensions.
In the event the stent is to be shaped to the dimensions of a particular lumen, optical photography and/or optical videography of the target lumen may be conducted prior to stent formation. The geometry of corresponding zones and connector regions of the stent then can be etched and formed in accordance with the requirements of that target lumen. For example, if the stent were designed for the trachea, which has a substantially D shaped lumen and additionally the middle zones needed to be softer than the end zones, the stent could be designed to those specifications. In particular, if the topography of the trachea of a particular patient is captured optically and the appropriate dimension provided, a patient specific prosthesis could be engineered. These techniques can be adapted to other non-vascular lumen but is very well suited for vascular applications where patient specific topography is a function of a variety of factors such as genetics, lifestyle, etc.
It should be pointed out that unlike the use of differing shape memory materials to change regions of a stent, stents in accordance with the present invention can take on an infinite number of characteristic combinations as zones and segments within a zone can be modified by changing angles, segment lengths and segment thicknesses during the etching and forming stages of stent engineering or during post formation processing and polishing steps. Moreover, by modifying the geometry of the connectors between zones, addition functionality may be achieved.
Exemplary stents 10 in accordance with the present invention are shown in
The stent 10 also is formed of memory metal and preferably has unique geometrical interstices that are laser etched therein. However, other conventional ways of forming interstices in unitary stents, though not equivalent are contemplated, may be employed and would be within the skill set of one in the art.
It cannot be overemphasized, however, that this does not mean the knowledge that changes in the geometry of interstices affect stent functionality is currently known in the art. To the contrary, the present inventors discovered the interrelation between interstice geometry, width, length and relative resistance to torsional stress and radial force. In fact, it can be said that the stent 10 has circumferential bands extending perpendicularly with respect to the luminal device's longitudinal axis. These bands are referred to generally as zones. A connector 50 connects these bands to one another; the connector 50 is an additional means for adjusting stent functionality. In particular, the connector 50 defines a substantially U shaped member, but could define other geometries such as U, V, W, Z, S and X to name a few.
In a standard orientation, as shown particularly in
As depicted in
Referring now to
Connector 40, which serves a similar purpose as connector 50 also has a crossing member 44 that connects leg members 42 & 46 at a predetermined angle δ. As discussed above, since form follows function for stents prepared through this novel method, by changing the degrees of angles α, β, δ & γ, stent characteristics can be modified. Moreover, by changing the leg lengths of all the previously discussed legs or individual legs separately, additional stent characteristics can be obtained. The beauty of this system is that the desired characteristics can be determined prior to forming the stent and by staying within certain forming parameters, the stent can be formed, crimped, delivered and deployed with confidence that the desired functionality with result. This is important in light of the fact that both vascular and nonvascular lumen have unique topography. As a result, methods and devices in accordance with the present invention usher in the ability to tailor prosthesis to anatomical tissue in general and particular patient anatomy in particular.
The U shaped connectors 40 & 50 have a crossing member and at least two leg members, respectively. The present inventors discovered that if you increase/decrease the length of leg members and/or increase/decrease the length of crossing members and/or vary the angle at which crossing members and leg members intersect, you affect the functionality of the stent. In particular, the shorter the length of the leg members, the less flexibility available in that portion of the stent. Taking particular note of
In a preferred embodiment, the modification of interstice geometries and manipulation of the U shaped connection member to achieve variable stent functionality is provided. The rigidity of the stent scaffolding or interstice matrix along with the torsionality of the stent itself is principally a function of these modifications. In an exemplary embodiment, the stents relative flexibility can be rated soft, medium or hard based on the degree of flex and torsionality. The less torsionality and flex in the stent the harder the stent is rated.
An exemplary stent in accordance with the present invention with relatively great torsionality and radial flexibility would be rated soft. An exemplary soft rated stent comprises distance between U shaped connectors of about 4.5 μm in the compressed state (i.e., contracted in the 3 mm tube subject to laser etching). Moreover, the length of the crossing member is preferably about 1.0 μm. The lengths of the leg members are preferably about 1.5 μm in length. Additionally the leg members may further comprise feet that attached to the remainder of the stent scaffolding. The feet can be adjusted from a standard length of about 0.25 μm to further adjust the characteristics of the stent. There is additionally a substantially rectangular member incorporated in the U shaped connector with similar capacity for variability. The variability factors and results of modifying the dimensions of the substantially rectangular members are similar to those evinced by leg length dimensional modifications.
Referring now to
By way of example, but not to be construed in any way as limiting, the softness index or relative flexibility can be increase by increasing the various lengths discussed above. For example, by increasing the length of the legs and crossing members of the U shaped connector, flexibility increases. However, with respect to the distance between U shaped members and distance between interstices in a preferred stent embodiment, there is an inverse correlation between length and softness. This relative softness/hardness indexing as a corollary of interstice dimensions is a novel aspect of preferred embodiment of the present invention. As a practical rule of thumb, longer leg lengths coupled with acute angles provide for greater flexibility. Conversely, shorter leg lengths and more obtuse angles provide more rigidity. By way of non-limiting example, a U shaped connector with short legs deviating from the crossing member at angles greater than 90°, will be extremely rigid and resistant to torsional strain as compared to a U shaped connector with longer legs diverging from the crossing member at angles less than 90°.
In addition to the length and spacing differences, the interstices themselves may define various shapes that by their very nature afford novel functionality to the stent. The changes of functionality, however, are more a function of the dimensional differences of the various shapes rather than a function of the shapes themselves. Therefore, it is important to keep in mind that the dimensional differences discussed in the previous paragraph are determinative of the functionality accorded the stent by the varying interstice geometries. It is for this reason that one of ordinary skill in the art, after being apprised of the present invention, would be able to conceive of a number of interstice geometries to satisfy certain functionality criteria by keeping certain dimensional parameters constant.
Experiments have shown that viscid fluids such as bile can be very adhesive in implantable devices due to charge, density and drag coefficient. The drag exerted on the stent scaffolding from moving fluid is directly proportional to the density of the fluid. Density describes the mass per unit volume. Therefore, the density of bile increases the likelihood that it can become stagnant in a stented lumen. As a result, the present inventors harnessed principles of fluid mechanics to develop a stent that can reduce drag by facilitating the flow rate of the fluid and the surface area of evacuation.
Making specific reference to
Moreover, removability is enhanced by providing apertures 30 and 120 defining eyelets through which suture may be threaded in order to purse string the stent for easier removal. The eyelets are preferably large enough to receive between 6-0 and 4-0 suture. It should also be noted that the eyelets 30 and 120, though shown at the distal and proximal ends of the stent may be configured along the longitudinal expanse there between in order to vary the degree of radial compression used to remove the stent.
As an adjunct to the biliary stent, in cases where the stent is placed in the lower intestinal tract, an annular ring should be provided to prevent regeneration and obstruction at the Sphincter of Oddi. In many cases, the Sphincter of Oddi is dilated, burned or made inoperable by various means in order to alleviate an obstruction and to facilitate stenting. Unfortunately, the sphincter often grows back or regenerates in some fashion that causes problems for the patient. By providing an annular ring to keep the lumen open, the efficacy of stenting is enhanced.
The present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. The described embodiments are to be considered in all respects only as illustrative, and not restrictive. The scope of the invention is, therefore, indicated by the appended claims, rather than by the foregoing description. All changes, which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims, are to be embraced within their scope.

Writer-Director Hayao Miyazaki is renowned for the gorgeousness of his feature length animations, and storylines that combine indigenous Japanese elements with supernatural whimsy. In a world of Disney princesses, let us give thanks for family entertainment in which an eccentric castle roams the countryside on chicken legs, a stink spirit wreaks havoc in a bathhouse, and a fur-lined cat bus transports passengers at top speed.
The first generation of American children to have grown up on Miyazki films – My Neighbor Totoro was released in the States in 1993 – has entered their college years. A portion of them will have eagerly sought out his latest offering, a semi-autobiographical tale directed by his son, Goro. Some will have felt themselves too mature for such fare. Being college students, both groups are likely to be horking down a fair amount of cheap packaged ramen noodles.
As evidenced above, Miyazaki has some pretty specific ideas on what to do with those. Preparing a late night workplace dinner for his Spirited Away team, the great director rivals Good Fellas' sliced garlic maven Paul Sorvino for culinary sang-froid. Stuffing ten blocks of the stuff into a single pot might get an ordinary mortal voted off of Top Chef, but aside from that Miyazaki's staff meal is an excellent, instant tutorial for those interested in souping up low budget, collegiate cuisine.

Review: 'That's My Boy' is (cautiously) enjoyableWritten by James A. Molnar | The Gold Knight | email@example.com
Adam Sandler never grew up. And he's living the dream. In his latest film, he gets paid to be raunchy, have fun and play a character that walks around drinking beer all day.
He uses the human body for jokes: farts, penises and breasts. All are on the table, literally and figuratively. And the f-word is sprinkled in there very often, like salt on fries. They all seem to go together.Once you get past all the crudeness, "That's My Boy" is fun to watch. Keep in mind Sandler's latest film is rated R and the maturity level is kept to that of pubescent boys.
There are enough surprises though in the film to keep the audience laughing, especially with scenes in a strip club named Bacon & Leggs. Lead dancer Champale (Luenell) is an absolute scene-stealer.
"That's My Boy" starts in 1984. Sandler plays Donny Berger in a story reminiscent of the Mary Kay Letourneau case. He is seduced by his math teacher, Mary Beth McGarricle (Eva Amurri Martino). When students and teachers discover this "ultimate teenage fantasy," McGarricle is fired and sent to prison for 30 years — and is also pregnant.Flash-forward to present day and Berger has raised the kid himself, named Han Solo Berger (Andy Samberg). His claim to fame is his infamy — like a present-day reality star stuck in the past. After turning 18, Han Solo changed his name and tried to move past his scarring childhood, not seeing his father for years. Now, he is getting married and his father shows up and attempts to rekindle their relationship.
Sandler has a knack for wearing his heart on his sleeve when he makes movies. Yes, they can be crude and juvenile, but there is some emotional attachment by the end of the movie. The audience is invested in the characters. And when the film ends, viewers leave entertained.
While his acting is another story, Sandler has comic timing down to the t. The surprise is what gives the movie its zing. While Sandler's Bostonian accent and character are grating at times, the other characters including his best friend in the movie, Vanilla Ice, provide the support to lessen the annoyance.
Be advised and don't set expectations too high for "That's My Boy." It can be surprisingly fun and irreverent, but this is not "The Hangover." Adam Sandler is back to his groove after a massively panned "Jack & Jill" and audiences will laugh. Who knew you could laugh so hard during scenes in a strip club?
What the movie lacks in class, it makes up with heart. Sandler and Samberg work well together in a movie set for Father's Day weekend. Although, you might want to leave your dad at home.

Fed prison in W.Va. gets green building honor
HAZELTON, W.Va. (AP) — The Federal Bureau of Prisons is celebrating its recognition for green building at its facility in Hazelton.
Moseley Architects says the new medium-security Federal Correctional Institution at the United States Penitentiary facility has earned a gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.
The 540,000-square-foot, multi-building complex is designed to support over 1,100 inmates while minimizing environmental impact and conserving resources.
The facility features an innovative laundry water recycling system that is estimated to reduce laundry water usage by 50 percent. Water is further conserved with low-flow lavatories and showers.
The complex also features a highly-efficient HVAC system and was built with as many regionally-manufactured materials as possible.
Strategic placement of windows and other light sources minimize the need for electrical lighting, while maintaining security.

How can i embed album art right into the ID3 tag of a song? id3 editor programs?
I have an archos mp3 player and in order for the album art to show up, i need the photo to be stored in the id3 tag. Itunes doesn't seem to allow this. So i guess what i need is a decent id3 tag editor that will allow me to embed the picture into multiple tracks at once.
I hope one of you has a good answer for me. Because this is getting frustrating. Luckily for me, you always seem to be able to answer my software related questions.
Thanks in advance
iTunes will embed it in the tag if you add the album art manually. Select the tracks you want to add art to. Make sure the lower left window is set to view art for selected tracks. Then simply drag an image to that lower left window. I drag images directly from Safari.
For bulk tagging, both artwork and other, I use MPFreaker. Worth every penny.
I select what I want to add art to right click it go to track info and drag the pic in it, it adds art to multiple items that way.
If you're using a Mac (and if you're here, you should be), ;D and have artwork that iTunes downloads automatically for songs in your collection, there's an AppleScript you can get from Doug's Scripts called "Embed Artwork" that will take whatever songs you select and imbed the art into the ID3 tag. Downloaded iTunes artwork is kept in a separate database, but that script will shove it into the song itself so art will carry over to other, lesser players. I always run that script on any songs that I let iTunes download the art for me.
If you're not using a Mac...well, then the other ideas will work too.
hm, does anyone else have a problem where it wont let you edit the artwork on certain mp3s? it happens to me every once in a while. it doesnt say unmodifiable or whatever the exact phrase is, but it just doesnt stick, no matter if i do them individually or if i do the entire album at once.

Law works around truth; magic works around deception. What ties the two together?
In 2012, Gerard Bakardy showcased his illusion titled, "The Rose and Her Shadow" in a YouTube video and offered to reveal his secrets to viewers for $3,050. Magicians Penn and Teller, the creators behind "Shadows", accused Bakardy of copyright infringement and filed a lawsuit. But Bakardy argues that simple, everyday tricks that are a part of the common knowledge should not be subject to copyright protection. When do magic and law intersect? What areas of law, if any, protect magicians and their secrets?
Topics include:

I'm not a CPA, accountant or lawyer. I have no degree in political science or economics. I'm a high school grad with a couple years of college. I have no insider information on the inner workings of the federal government, but I've been challenged by several readers to be more specific in my column regarding sequestration and offer possible suggestions on how we go about easing the pain of reducing Uncle Sam's spending by $85 billion.
We all know there isn't one single dollar the government spends that someone doesn't think is critically important. But to set the stage for what we are up against, I urge you go watch this simple dramatization of our nation's current $16 trillion+ debt at demonocracy.info. We must reduce our spending.
Let me start by stating the obvious. I don't know of one executive administrator who is responsible for managing anything who doesn't want to control the checkbook and have some say in income generation. I can only come to one conclusion as to why the president isn't coming forth with a plan. He wants nothing to do with leading the nation. His goal seems to be cuts must hurt, so make the cuts felt and then blame others for the pain. He also seems reluctant to put forth his own cost-saving solutions therefore avoiding any personal blame. This is the exact opposite of what a president should do. Harry Truman said it best: "The buck stops here."
With the limited information available to me, here are my recommendations if I were in the Oval Office. As a sign of good faith and leadership, we start at the White House. The best estimates I can find tell me it costs about $1.7 billion to run the White House. I'd immediately direct the WH staff, including the presidency, to trim 10 percent from all salaries associated with WH personnel, curtail all extraneous travel, including Air Force One and cut our operational spending by the same amount. I urge Congress to do the same 10 percent cut, and together we can lead the nation to a $1 billion savings. Leadership starts with the leaders.

Fresh from the Aloha State
Hawaii. What is there NOT to like about this island? You got Zippys, nice weather, awesome culture, beautiful scenery, and did I mention some of the freshest rides I have ever laid my eyes on? Oh yea, they have some pretty bad ass drifters from the Aloha State, but i'm sure we will get into that in some future posts. The FTLC crew made our way over from the Mainland this past Friday in preparation for our 2nd HellaFlush event being held at Aloha Stadium. We were greeted by heavy rain BUT 80 degree humid weather, it was awesome! Given that we left San Francisco during a cold front, it was great to get away from the chilly mornings and winds. We were praying that the weather held up for the weekend and I guess they got our calling. After some high clouds on Saturday morning, the sunshine peeked in throughout the day making for some pretty dope photographs. Hawaii loves their cars, just like the rest of us. But for some reason, they are on a WHOLE different level than what i'm used to seeing. Here, take a look…
I'm diggin these trucks. Definitely something I don't see very much in Northern California.
This one is just crazy!
This truck could probably run over most of the cars in the show, literally. AW NUTS? Abbitt Wilkerson?
We had a good amount of Honda/Acuras in the show. This yellow Type R had me drooling like a fat kid at Leonard's Bakery.
Wouldn't you love to have this pair of Accords in your garage?
Amazing pair!
Which set of SSRs do you prefer?
The VIP scene in Hawaii is straight up RIDICULOUS! I'm still speechless.
Here's a few Euros that caught my eye. There weren't many in attendance at the show.
I had to take multiple breaks from covering the event to assist in the FTLC booth. It was a cool experience, just like last year, because I got a chance to meet a lot of the locals and hang out for bit. The booth was definitely hectic was it was a lot fun.
Wes was our MC of the event while DJ Wish provided the beats and Phil 360 filmed the event. I'm sure all of you are waiting on his video. It should be EPIC, just like all of his previous videos.
I found myself becoming speechless a lot at our event. Can you blame me?
What would a HellaFlush event be without some dope 240s?
There were a handful of vintage cars but this Mango is just too clean! It earned a feature in Super Street so keep an eye out for it.
Coolers are overrated…
The fitment on this S2K is SO on point!
Being a Subaru owner myself, this STi ranks extremely high in my book. I love the WRB/White color combo.
If Knight Rider drove an import, this is what he would drive. So gangster!
Best of Show. FACT!
Here is the rest of my photo set. Too many awesome rides…
We ended the show with a pretty intense B-Boy battle. B-Boys of all ages represented and killed it!
Well Ladies and Gentlemen, that's it. A huge MAHALO to everyone that came out to this event and supported us. We will see you all soon!

HI is wild, I need to make a move there
But that lifted F150 is nothing, come to the south. Big trucks are the name of the game to rednecks…..trucks lifted 8 inches with semi tires and 22's yessir….
The little beefy red hardbody, DOPE, just loose the hood scoop less something dirtys up under that
The reason I appreciate that ford more than most trucks in the south is because they all look pretty much the same. And that one utilized many nice parts for a different reason than many here. Most guy here get in the mud. And alot don't. But that truck was designed to tackle the sand. And I think it looks dope.
awesome Andy! I got a super good feel for the event with your post!
man of all of the pics….. i only got 1 1/2 pics.. i had the only evo at the show, maybe more flush for next time
That Black Supra is killing it ! Nice pics !

Hawaii is killin' it!!
Love the coverage..that Supra and those Celsiors are awesome!

Damn! Hawaii is on point. Like a twilight episode where all of the import rides were magically ported from Japan. Then again didnt Signal Auto do a drift day in Hawaii back in like 2001?
gotta move back home so I can change my name to LAX2HNL… I miss the "aloha spirit"!
Awesome coverage Andy!
Looks like there's a really cool minitruck scene over there. I'd like to see more o' that stateside, fo sho!
Yup, minitruckin' scene starting to get it's ups once again!
in the pic with caption "Wouldn't you love to have this pair of Accords in your garage?" there is a car with huge blue lips. WHY NO PICS???
lips arent really huge
it's a is300 on LH ordens
The show this year was way better. Who won the euro division? Maybe next year my euro friends will enter they didn't have a good 1st experience last year.
kouki with bniv and cerberus is pretty cool
Awesome coverage
Hawaii is honored to have you . Thank you for exposing us to your network .
dear red truck….. thank you!
Oh man the mini trucks bring back memories of when I lived in HI. After the first few pictures I thought I was in Waipahu!
hey can you get more pictures on the red b2200 behind that rukus
sexxy blue 240 with no front bumper (:
that fucking ek hatch has left my jaw hanging
red hardbody has a VQ inside… all the way to the exhaust…. 350z interior too.
Haha not to surprised about those pickups, just about every guy I know back home loves thier yota's.

The planet Venus in the signs of the Zodiac gives important information about how you express your emotions in your relationships, especially in love and marriage. It shows who and what you love , how you love it, and what brings joy to your heart. It also gives information about your attitude toward money, personal possession, and social values.
Venus in the houses gives information how you express yourself socially, romantically, and artistically in the various areas of your life.
If your Venus receives unfavorable or stressful aspects from other natal planets in the Birth Chart, the following basic descriptions will be modified by the nature of that planet and the aspect.
Aries is the first sign, and a natrual starting point for all kind of projects. Aries is fiery, brave, and impulsive. So, with Venus in Aries, you are good at channeling "Aries' me-first energy" to initiate changes, new beginning, especially in relationships and love.
You tend to be aggressive in your emotional self-expression, and can be competitive when seeking the affections of others. If someone hurts you, you will stand up to protect your own feelings. You learned early on to defend yourself. Your outgoing nature gives enthusiasm and sparkle to social gatherings.
Venus in Aries is in its detriment, because Aries is the opposite sign to Libra, which Venus rules. Therefore, you demand a lot of personal attention and tend to be self-centered.
If Venus is afflicted in Aries, your manner can be coarse, lacking refinement. You may have an early or hasty marriage that usually has many inharmonies. If Venus is well aspected, you have a positive, cheerful attitude. You also have the ability to be actively creative in artistic pursuits.
Venus In the First House
With Venus in the First House, you possess personal grace, a pleasing manner, and a friendly behavior. You are socially outgoing and active in efforts to develop friendship and romance.
You are fond of beautiful clothes, and all things that will enhance your personal appearance. Your natural ability to mix socially is likely to result in business, romantic, and marital opportunities. You have talents in art, music, or other art forms.
You are solid, secure and well-grounded. You take good care of your money and personal resources. Material and financial security are very important to you. you seldom feel the need for being stressed or hurrying. You resist all changes that do not seem extremely necessarily.
You appreciate all possible physical pleasures, and want quality in all things. You feel a close relationship with earth, you may take up gardening or growing flowers as a hobby. Because the Moon, which rules the domestic scene, is exalted in Taurus, you seek to make your home beautiful and artistic. Your home probably is full of pretty things and beautiful arts.
Taurus is a fixed, earth sign. When you love someone, your affection is constant and lasting. Once your deep feeling begins, it will be quite difficult to get you to stop. You are sensual in a passive way, seeking to attract rather than pursue the love objective.
With this position of Venus, you tend to like material things, you may engage in business dealing with art and luxury goods. You can be attracted to artistic expressions. Painters and sculptors often have Venus placed in this sign. Because Taurus rules the throat, and Venus gives grace and beauty, a well aspected Venus may indicate a rich and melodious voice.
Venus In The Second House
Venus in the Second House indicates a love of wealth, beautiful possessions, art objects, and all the lovely things that money can buy. You seek wealth in order to achieve social status. You look for romantic or marriage partners who are wealthy and can provide you with the material comforts you desire.
You are prone to spend too much money entertaining your friends, especially in romantic relationship. You know how to manage your personal resources, and have talents in business, especially related to the arts. If Venus is well aspected, you will receive help from friends and social contacts that will lead to business arrangements.
Gemini, ruled by Mercury, is a mutable air sign. No matter what planet occupies in Gemini, that planet is endowed by nature with a love of change quickly. "Variety is the spice of life." is the Motto for Gemini. So, you are always looking for an interesting experience, information, movement, and excitement.
You are very sociable, and are expert at making friend quickly. You are curious about people. You want to be friends with everyone. You know almost everyone at every business. You will not settle down to one permanent love relationship. You want freedom and like variety in your romantic and social life. You usually have more than one marriage.
You can always be found on the phone. You spend much time traveling in pursuit of pleasure and social activity. You have the innate instincts of a writer. Literary activities, and jokes are your favorite artistic expressions, usually including some form of play on words.
Like other Air Signs, you dislike coarse behavior. You have a pleasing manner and maintain good relations with your siblings, and neighbors. If Venus is afflicted in this sign, you are inconsistent and inconstant in romance. Your values regarding love, marriage, and romance may be superficial.
Venus In The Third House
Venus in the Third House indicates an intellectual interest in artistic and cultural pursuits. You have a special love for literature and poetry, and an ability to communicate harmoniously, both through speech and writing. You write beautiful love letters and romantic poems.
You will have many short-distance traveling for pleasure and social obligation. You usually communicate easily with your spouse, siblings, and close friends.
Your social and romantic contacts are through neighbors or people met through neighborhood activities, intellectual pursuits, or newspapers and periodicals.
With Venus in the sign Cancer, you are deeply sensitive, react immediately and emotionally in all circumstances, especially in your romantic feeling. Your feelings can be easily hurt, but you hide your vulnerability behind a dignified exterior. Cancer is ruled by the Moon which indicates fluctuation. Since your mood can be fluctuating and unpredictable, you value both financial and domestic security.
Cancer is the most emotional and most nurturing sign. You seek marriage as a mean to a stable domestic life, cherishing your family and your home. You are a natural caregiver, want to take care of your family, make your home a place of comfort and beauty, and the focus of social activities.
It is your job to express emotions. You are the best nurturer, and the best hugger. You show great sympathy, understanding to people, and animals. You are always in the mood to take care of someone. you have a tendency to be over-sensitive, over-dependent, or needy.
If you are a woman with this Venus position, you are very domestic, like to cook, and keep your house for those you love. You have a delicate femininity, which is expressed in a maternal way. Because Cancer is the maternal sign, you are affectionate toward your children. If you are a man with this Venus position, you can mother your family and children.
Because Cancer is a cardinal sign, you at times take the initiative when you feel bored and lonely, but you will do it without being noticed. If Venus is afflicted in Cancer, you may have a bad temper, unstable emotional reactions, and a tendency to sulk.
Venus In The Fourth House
Venus in the Fourth House indicates emotional attachment to the home and the domestic scene. Your relationship with family members will be harmonious unless Venus or the Fourth House is afflicted.
You like to entertain your close friends and romantic partners at home where you can cook for them, and create a warm, personal environment.
You are very emotionally close to your parents and much happiness comes through them. Inheritance can come through your parents, if Venus is well aspected. You have a love of land, gardening, and a patriotic love of the natural beauties of your homeland. There is a promise of being surrounded by beauty and comfort at the end of your life.
Leo is a fixed, fire sign. So, Venus in Leo indicates that you have ardent, fixed affection. You are lover of life and somewhat theatrical in behavior. Leo is ruled by the Sun, the center of the universe and the creative force, so you have a great deal of social and personal pride. You are warmhearted, outgoing, sunny, and affectionate.
You want your feelings to be noticed, admired, and appreciated. You like to give lavish, expensive parties. You often compete for the center of attention at social gatherings. Because of your ability to dramatize emotion, you make good actor/actress. you have the heart of a performer, and the soul of a romantic.
You are born romantic and want courtships full of drama and excitement, and like to show off your partners. You are fond of children. If Venus is afflicted in Leo, there can be excessive social pride, selfishness, and overconern with sex.
Venus In The Fifth House
Venus in the Fifth House indicates a strong pleasure orientation and a romantic nature. You have a sunny outlook, with a love of life. Romance is super important to you. If Venus is well aspected, you are popular and well liked. You will enjoy much happiness and pleasure through romance and many romantic opportunities.
You are very talented, especially in the performing arts. You have a deep love of children. Your chidlren are likely to be girls with artistic talent and physical beauty. You can be a good teacher, and child psychologist.
The sign Virgo is the most discriminating, most detail-oriented sign. So, you are most concerned with fixing, fussing, and trouble-shooting. You are always in the mood to clean, to make your surroundings orderly and more pleasing. You are extremely health-conscious, work-oriented, and duty-bound. You pay great deal of attention to diet, hygiene, and daily schedules. Being good, accurate, and precise in whatever you do make you feel happy.
Venus in Virgo is in its fall, since Virgo is opposite to the sign Pisces, in which Venus is exalted. You tend to over-analyze emotions and be too critical of those you love, making them feel self-conscious, inhibited, and cutting off the spontaneous flow of affection. Venus in Virgo is likely to produce more unmarried people because of the high critical standards in mates. When you do marry, it is often through work. You seek partner with whom you can share your work and intellectual interests.
You are capable of sympathy and are helpful to the sick. Your ability for nurturing makes you a good doctor and nurse. You can also be a good psychologist, because Venus in Mercury-ruled Virgo gives you an ability to combine reason with the emotions, and investigate matters.
If Venus in Virgo is afflicted by Mars, Uranus, Neptune, or Pluto, you will have an over-reaction against shyness and social propriety, and have a loose living. You will suffer the feeling of loneliness and frustration. You are likely to retreat into work and intellectual pursuits and the lavishing of affection on some animals.
