Windows Phone 8 update history
Our effort to build great software never stops. That's why we periodically release updates for Windows Phone 8 to add new features that maximise your phone's performance.
Below is a summary of what we've included in each update so far. The most recent update is listed first. The longer number refers to the Windows Phone operating system (OS) version.
For update details about Windows 10 Mobile, go to Windows 10 Mobile update history. See How do I get Windows 10 Mobile? to learn about updating to Windows 10 Mobile.
Updates to Windows Phone 8 are cumulative – so when you install the latest update, you'll also get all the previous updates (if your phone doesn't have them already). Only updates that apply to your phone will be downloaded and installed. Update availability varies by phone model, region and mobile operator.
When it's available, we'll also pass along software from phone manufacturers that improves the performance of specific phone models. If you have questions about what's included in a phone manufacturer update, contact your phone manufacturer. Have a Nokia or Microsoft Lumia phone? Visit the Microsoft Mobile Devices website to see if there's updated software for your phone model.
See How do I update my phone software? to learn how to install updates or check if there's an update available for you to download.

Update apps automatically. Your apps are updated automatically now, so you always have the latest and greatest versions without needing to download them on your own. Spend more time using your apps and less time updating them.
Dual SIM phones. Some Windows Phones have dual SIMs. With two SIMs, you can keep your work life and personal life separate, or combine the two if you want. It's up to you. (Dual SIM phones aren't available in all countries or regions.)
Project my screen. Show your phone on the big screen. Take your USB cable, plug it into your computer and you're ready to go with a tap or two. Or get rid of wires entirely and project your phone to a TV or other device that supports Miracast.
Bluetooth. The Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) profile is now supported, so you can use a wider variety of Bluetooth enabled devices and accessories with your phone.
Backup and restore. Back up more things now, including your Start screen layout, WiFi networks you've connected to and app data (such as high scores and game progress for participating apps). Words you've added to your dictionary are now backed up too.

Democratic Governance Thematic Trust Fund
In 2001, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) established the Democratic Governance Thematic Trust Fund (DGTTF) which is the primary mechanism through which donor partners channel non-core contributions to UNDP's activities on democratic governance. The main function of this funding mechanism is to provide country offices with discretionary funds to explore innovative approaches in democratic governance in politically sensitive environments and within the areas of inclusive participation, responsive institutions or international principles.
In response to country demand and in alignment with the UNDP Strategic Plan Outcomes in the context of democratic governance, the DGTTF has approved since its inception, approximately USD 113 million across 750 country projects through the annual competitive call for proposals to UNDP Country Offices. Through strong support to projects in LDCs, and in particular through the call for proposals for the 2010 and 2011 tranches which placed priority on projects with a focus on MDG acceleration, the DGTTF has helped position UNDP at the forefront of strengthening the links among democratic governance, poverty reduction and achievement of the MDGs.
The results of the 2007/2008 independent evaluation indicated that the DGTTF has been successful as a "venture capital fund", promoting innovation in an area of development where it is both extremely important to make progress and notoriously hard to do so. The evaluation confirmed that successful innovations have led to major programmes of reform and capacity-building, supported not only with UNDP core funding but even more often by other donors and the governments concerned, thus reinforcing DGTTF's role in fostering strategic partnerships and facilitating mobilization of additional resources in democratic governance ("Executive Summary, Evaluation of the DGTTF", p.7). The DGTTF has actively responded to key recommendations of the evaluation, including the development and implementation of a Lesson Learned Series whose purpose is to continuously assess the level of innovation, catalytic effect and success of DGTTF projects, and to feed and share experiences into UNDP policy and programming at national, regional and global levels.
Country projects remain the principle area of activities funded by the DGTTF. Towards this principle investment, the DGTTF also funds regional and global initiatives -via via UNDP Regional Service Centres, the UNDP Oslo Governance Centre and UNDP/HQ Thematic Clusters - that support country projects in terms of policy guidance, strategic programming, oversight and monitoring, learning, analysis and knowledge sharing, etc.

Annual Report 2012
This report elaborates on the work of the Democratic Governance Group in assisting countries to strengthen their democratic governance practices, pursue innovations -especially through exchanges among countries - and broaden space for participation and dialogue to define collective national priorities.
Lessons from the DGTTF
Local Governance in Complex Situations
In partnership with the Regional Centre in Cairo, the Democratic Governance Group through its Oslo Governance Centre published four assessments of Democratic Governance Thematic Trust Fund (DGTTF) — funded projects on local governance in complex environments. These Lessons Learned Series reports are based on experiences from Iraq, Lebanon, Southern Sudan and the Occupied Palestinian territories
Asia Pacific Rights and Justice Initiative Assessments
In Partnership with the Regional Center in Bangkok, the Democratic Governance Group through its Oslo Governance Centre published a series of assessments and findings of the Asia-Pacific Rights and Justice Initiative (AP-A2J) conducted over April and May 2009. The Asia-Pacific Rights and Justice Initiative Assessments reports include: Access to Justice in Asia and the Pacific: A Comparative Experience Note; Regional Assessment; and country assessments of Cambodia; India; Indonesia; Mongolia: Integrity in the Health Sector and Sri Lanka.
DGTTF Project Assessments
The assessments below cover 2006-2009 DGTTF projects across several democratic governance thematic areas as follows:

text: Scrawl is a musical trio based in Columbus, Ohio. The founding members are Marcy Mays (lead vocals, guitar, songwriting), Sue Harshe (bass guitar, backing vocals, songwriting), and Carolyn O'Leary (drums). Their first show, in the summer of 1985, was a 20-minute opening spot for the Meat Puppets. Their first album, Plus, Also, Too, was self-produced (with Andy Izold) and released in 1987 on the local label No Other Records. The following year the band was signed to the ill-fated Rough Trade Records U.S., for whom they released two albums, He's Drunk (produced by Jim Rondinelli) and Smallmouth (produced by Gary Smith). Their raw, somewhat primitive sound is influenced by the UK post-punk scene of the late 1970s (e.g., The Raincoats, The Slits, The Mekons), but their American inflection greatly influenced the Riot Grrrl sound of the 1990s. When Rough Trade U.S. filed for bankruptcy in 1990, the band was forced to bid for their master recordings at auction during the label's Chapter 11 proceedings. Fortunately, they succeeded. Their next release, a seven-track EP called Bloodsucker, was released on the Chicago-based Feel Good All Over label (then reissued on Simple Machines Records).

Efforts to attract investors in Tanzania will only make a breakthrough with the presence of competent local investors.
This was a statement by Miss Tanzania Committee's patron Emmanuel Ole Naiko at a function to bid farewell to Salha Israel in Dar es Salaam yesterday.
The Miss Tanzania is boarding a London-bound flight today to compete in this year's Miss World pageantry edition.
Ole Naiko told the audience witnessing Salha being handed over with the national flag and urged to represent well the country.
Ole Naiko, the former executive director of Tanzania Investment Centre (TIC) and a renowned investment expert, said Tanzanians needed to equip themselves with skills and knowledge on various investment projects.
"We should learn and acquire investment skills and be enterprising," he said, adding: "this will help people see and utilise available opportunities for their own benefits and the country's at large."
He went on to say that it was crucial for people to realise that the world, Tanzania inclusive, was growing fast towards economic liberalisation where competition is stiff and, therefore, urged Tanzanians to utilise such an opportunity.
He noted that efforts to have competent local investors would help Tanzanians know how the stock market works.
"We should also work diligently with banks for any meaningful business or investment project to succeed," he stressed.
Transport Deputy Minister Athumani Mfutakamba, who was the guest of honour at the function, told Salha to talk highly of Tanzania's tourism and other investment potentials the country was endowed with.
"Go and spread the good name of our country abroad," he said, adding that the government supported her wholeheartedly.
To show that his were not empty words, the deputy minister presented 5m/- to Salha. It was donated by members of staff from his ministry.
Speaking on behalf of the TIC acting executive director, TIC facilitation director Nakuala Senzia told Salha to promote Tanzania's investment opportunities abroad.
"You are our ambassador," she told Salha, while presenting to her US$2,000 and an information kit explaining various Tanzania's investment opportunities.
Salha thanked all who helped her to be where she was today and promised to be a good ambassador of Tanzania.

19 Daimler commercial vehicles will be presented at the RAI
Low-emission drive systems are a focal point of the offering
Innovations on the Vito and Sprinter vans
Among the trucks, the new Mercedes-Benz Actros stands out
Canter 4x4 all-wheel drive version rounds up the Fuso Canter offering
Stuttgart/Amsterdam – Over three different exhibition stands, Daimler AG will be exhibiting a total of 19 commercial vehicles from the Mercedes-Benz and Fuso brands at this year's RAI in Amsterdam from 17 through to 21 April 2012.
Mercedes-Benz Vans will be on show at stand 04.110 in the Oosthalle. Mercedes-Benz Trucks will be presented in the Europahalle at stand 01.220. Fuso Canter Trucks will be exhibited near to the Mercedes-Benz Trucks at stand 01.230. The Dutch market for commercial vehicles is an interesting one as Dutch delivery and logistics firms always provide the European transport branch with innovative ways of doing things.
Mercedes-Benz Vans at the RAI 2012
In Amsterdam, four Vitos, two Vianos and three Sprinters will be exhibited. A 3D model of the new Citan urban delivery van will be presented outside hall 1.
The Vito E-Cell is of particular interest for those seeking locally emission-free transport solutions in inner cities. The Vito E-CELL crewbus is the world's first seven-seater vehicle which makes emission-free driving a possibility as standard ex-works. With its
130 km range, it is particulary suited for use in environmentally sensitive areas, such as pedestrianised zones. The electric motor (60 kW; 280 Nm max. torque), the power electronics, as well as the transformer and charger unit are all housed under the bonnet. Power is transferred to the wheels of the front axle. The powerful lithium ion traction batteries find their place under the floor of the passenger compartment. The nominal voltage is 380 V and the capacity 36 kWh. The batteries of the Vito E-CELL are charged from a 380/400 V supply, which takes a maximum of six hours. If necessary, the batteries can also be charged at a later stage from a 230 V supply. Recuperation also helps additionally charge the battery whilst the vehicle is in motion. The batteries are protected by a crash element. If an airbag is deployed, the high-voltage technology is automatically disabled.
The new Mercedes-Benz Limited Edition Viano PEARL demonstrates the possibilities of a luxurious large-capacity vehicle. This range-topping Viano combines both space and exclusivity. The Viano PEARL's luxurious interior with specially selected materials and its dynamic exterior both set new standards. Two-tone 19-inch light-alloy wheels with 245/45 R 19 tyres further highlight the dynamism of the Limited Edition Viano PEARL. Thanks to its V6 diesel engine, the Limited Edition Viano PEARL CDI 3.0 BlueEfficiency develops 165 kW (224 hp) of power; a superior level of power with low fuel consumption. The top-of-the-line Viano model is alternatively available with a 3.5 l V6 petrol engine, which puts out 190 kW (258 hp) of power. In both variants, this power is transferred via an automatic transmission.
The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter starts in spring 2012 with several product improvements which underline its desire to be the leader in the vans segment. It is the first van in the world which can be ordered with a seven-speed automatic torque converter. The new 7G-TRONIC transmission will be available worldwide as an option on the van from the beginning of this year. The seven-speed automatic features fully electronic control and, despite having already proved itself in many Mercedes-Benz Passenger Cars, the system has now been adapted to the demands of the vans segment. The advantage of this new transmission with its seven stages is the combination of a broad gear ratio spread with a close graduation of the gears. In practice, this means that a small ratio in first gear ensures a dynamic start. At high speeds, however, the Sprinter drives fuel-efficiently, with low emissions and low noise levels thanks to its low engine speeds.
FleetBoard telematics for the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter can be fitted ex-works as part of the original equipment. Experience in short-radius distribution has shown that fuel consumption and CO2 emissions can be reduced by up to 30 percent if the vehicle is driven in an economical way.
Mercedes-Benz at the Bedrijfsauto RAI
With five Mercedes-Benz trucks being exhibited in Amsterdam, a small selection from the delivery programme of the world's largest truck manufacturer will be on show. With the Dutch market traditionally being a market for cross-European long-distance delivery firms, three variants of the new Actos will be shown:
1842 LS Super Stream Space, 1842 Stream Space and 1851 Giga Space. For low-emissions short-radius distribution, there will be a small series of the Atego 1222 L BlueTec Hybrid. The vehicles presented will be rounded off by the tried and tested
Actros 4144 Tipper construction truck with the WideSpread chassis specific to the Dutch market.
All variants of the new Mercedes-Benz Actros are thoroughbread long-distance transport vehicles. Specially designed for use as a long-distance vehicle, a modular system forms the basis of the new Actros. This system includes seven spacious cabs, of which five with a level floor. Innovative interior design ideas, such as the separation of work and living areas, are characteristic of the new cab. A new cockpit which is as functional as it is attractive, a new, cleaner, more responsive and more efficient straight six-cylinder engine with additional torque reserves, a new frame and a dynamic chassis, as well as a further increased level of safety mean that the new Actros is a true innovator.
The new Actros is the first and, up to now, the only truck which has been developed to consistently meet the Euro VI emissions standard. Last year's record run over 10 000 km between Rotterdam and Stettin proved that: in the optional Euro V variant, the fuel consumption was around 7.6 percent less than that of its predecessor; in the Euro VI variant, fuel consumption was around 4.6 percent less and this was achieved with a reduction in AdBlue consumption of 40 percent. The newly developed heavy-duty engines of the new Actros also set standards. The new BlueEfficiency Power engine generation from Mercedes-Benz will, from the very beginning, meet the Euro VI emissions norms. The first member of the new engine family is the straight six-cylinder Mercedes-Benz OM 471 with power outputs from 310 kW (421 hp) to 375 kW (510 hp) and torque from 2 100 to 2 500 Nm. A high torque even at engine speeds below 1 000 rpm and almost full power at 1 400 rpm make for excellent driveability. As a result of the high demands of the Euro VI norm, Mercedes-Benz employs extensive exhaust gas aftertreatment, which comprises SCR technology with AdBlue injection without compressed air, cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and a particulate filter. Extraordinary robustness and longevity are part of the reason the engine is so economical, as well as a service interval of up to 150 000 kilometres.
An international jury of experts awarded the new Mercedes-Benz Actros the title of "Truck of the Year 2012". The commercial vehicle journalists from 24 countries elected the flagship Mercedes-Benz best truck of the year for the fourth time. In 1997, the first Actros started off the success story, with its successors in 2004 and 2009 also picking up the most votes.
The Mercedes-Benz Atego 1222 L BlueTec Hybrid is also more efficient in times when the price of fuel keeps on rising.
With its innovative Hybrid drive, the Mercedes-Benz Atego allows Daimler AG to offer this technology, with its particulary low emissions, as standard ex-works in Europe; thereby promoting sustainable goods transport solutions. The basis of the Hybrid version is the Atego 1222 L Euro V: it already fulfils the environmentally friendly EEV standard for particularly reduced particulate emissions and can therefore already be driven on German roads without having to pay tolls. Its compact and light four-cylinder 4.8 l diesel engine puts out 160 kW (218 hp). Water-cooled electric motors with a maximum power of 44 kW round off the offering. The electric power for these is supplied by powerful lithium-ion batteries with a high energy density.
The electric motor is located behind the engine and clutch, but in front of the transmission. This construction allows both drive technologies to drive the vehicle, be it either individually or simultaneously. This parallel-hybrid architecture allows purely electric driving, recuperation, boost mode with the help of the electric motor and optimisation of the diesel engine's characteristic curve. The diesel engine's drive power is actuated via a clutch between the diesel engine and the electric motor. Before actuation, the diesel engine is solely used to drive ancillary equipment. This not only drastically reduces fuel consumption and exhaust gas emissions by up to 15 percent, but also leads to a reduction in noise pollution. Use of the engine's automatic start/stop feature also brings consumption, emissions and noise levels down to zero when stopped at traffic lights.
In 2011, to put this important technology of the future through its paces, the first 50 Atego BlueTec Hybrid vehicles were delivered to customers involved in short-radius distribution. At the IAA in 2010, the Atego BlueTec Hybrid was elected "Truck of the Year 2011" by an international jury of specialists.
The Actros 4144 K WideSpread will be displayed for use in the Dutch construction industry. Special conversions with up to five axles are typical of the Dutch tipper market. Mercedes-Benz now delivers the WideSpread chassis ex-works. The delivery programme comprises models with three, four and five axles, additionally with optional 6x4 through 10x8 drive systems. The chassis is fitted with the Dynamic Truck and Trailer Suspension. The Electronic Truck Steering additionally allows the last axle to be steered up to speeds of 45 km/h.
The new Canter 4x4 all-wheel-drive at the Fuso stand
The third of the Daimler AG exhibition stands will present the vehicles of the Fuso brand. A total of five Fuso Canter vehicles will be shown, of which two models in the new all-wheel-drive 4x4 version. The conventionally rear-wheel-driven light truck with high payload capacity is now complemented by this variant with improved traction which features engageable all-wheel drive.
Its off-road capabilities make the Fuso Canter 4×4 the ideal choice for all applications where operation on unsurfaced roads is required, for example on construction sites, in the energy supply sector and in service with the fire brigade. For municipal authorities, it lends itself to use as a winter service vehicle with snowplough and salt spreader. Its width of a mere two metres means that it can also negotiate narrow openings with ease. The Canter 4×4, model designation 6C18, will be offered with a permissible gross vehicle weight of 6.5 tonnes, a two-metre wide comfort cab and a power output of 129 kW (175 hp). The all-wheel drive can be selected and deselected during a journey, thereby ensuring fuel-efficient operation. A differential lock for the rear axle is fitted as standard.
The new Fuso Canter 4×4 is powered by a four-cylinder turbo diesel engine with Euro V and EEV certification. Only the most powerful version of this 3-litre engine – developing 129 kW (175 hp) at 3 500 rpm – is installed on the all-wheel drive model. It boasts a maximum full-load torque of 430 Nm which is available constantly from 1 600 to 2 900 rpm.
In addition to SCR exhaust aftertreatment technology, a combination of exhaust gas recirculation and fully automatic particulate filter regeneration ensures optimum emissions performance. If the vehicle is being used mainly for very short trips, manual regeneration of the particulate filter may be necessary owing to the low engine temperatures.
The Canter 4×4 features the same traditional strengths as the Canter 4×2, namely excellent manoeuvrability, a space-saving cab-over-engine design, good visibility thanks to low windows and a short front overhang, a robust construction, a compact joystick shift lever on the dashboard, straightforward maintenance thanks to a tilting cab which provides easy access to the main assemblies, enhanced safety and reduced wear thanks to the standard-fitted exhaust brake.

Hey all!
I spoke with Tom today, and he gave me permission to give this a go. Of my posts on this forum, none seem to elicit more attention than the triathlon/triathlete posts. So, we're going to do a sticky thread in the forum, and if it takes off, we'll get a little sub-forum of our own!
So, why, you may ask, do we need a triathlon sticky/sub-forum, when we already have a regular triathlon forum just a click away?! Well, I'll tell you: Because much like in our regular forum, plus-sized triathletes have some unique concerns and interests that other triathletes don't share. Like, try going into a multi-sport shop and finding a wetsuit for the uber-clyde. Not gonna happen! Your race doesn't have a Clydesdale/Athena division? No problem, we can talk about how to suggest one. Thinking about "Trying a tri" but not sure how? There are tons of resources out there.
So, this will be our place to talk specifically about the needs of larger triathletes.
I'm certainly not an expert, but I'm willing to research anything, and I'm sure we can find some folks who can help us out
As this is currently a sticky, I'll be updating the initial post with information as we build the discussion, and hopefully get to the point of a solid FAQ for the Clydesdale/Athena triathlon pack!
I haven't written one of these kinds of posts in a while, so we'll start the thread with introductions (Just copy and paste the format below):
Name: Ben
Age: 35
Clyde/Athena: Clyde
# of Triathlons completed: 3
Longest race: Sprint (750m/23K/5k)
Next Race: Sprint 9/27/09 - Nantasket Beach Triathlon
One piece of advice for fellow racers: Read the book "Slow Fat Triathlete"!!

|Special characteristics
- "She knows that I will kill you, Riley. She wants you to die so that she doesn't have to keep up the pretense anymore. Yes - you've seen that, haven't you? You've read the reluctance in her eyes, suspected a false note in her promises. You were right."
- ―Edward to Riley on Victoria's true feelings.[src]
Riley Biers was the first vampire created by Victoria when she formed an army to attack the Cullen family and Bella. He obtained Bella's scent for the newborns, and was the one that led the Seattle newborn army. Riley was told by Victoria that she loved him, but this was just a lie to get him to be on her side. During the invasion, he stayed with Victoria and was killed by Seth Clearwater during the battle between the Cullens and the army. He acted as the secondary antagonist in Eclipse and was always in the presence of his "mate", Victoria, the main antagonist of both New Moon and Eclipse.
Early life
Riley Biers was born in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and had lived in the Southwest along the Pacific coast. He reached the end of his freshman year at Oregon University when Victoria saw him. She was afraid that the Cullens would come after her and sought someone strong enough to protect her, and so changed Riley into a vampire on his way home. After his transformation, she told him that she'd fallen in love with him and told him half-true stories that led him to willingly serve her and return her perceived feelings. She taught him the capabilities and limitations of being a vampire, including the Volturi's threat.
When she decided to create more newborn vampires for protection, Riley was jealous. However, she asked him to choose the members for her, which pleased him as he was led to believe that she didn't want anyone but him. To make the newborns easier to control, he told them stories about vampires being vulnerable to sunlight and wooden stakes, as was commonly believed by humans. He was also told never to inform the newborns about the Volturi until they were old enough.
When Victoria felt that she was being tracked, she left Riley to care for the newborns and disappeared before he could go with her. During her absence, he befriended the newborn Diego, whom he grew very fond of. Victoria returned a while later and told him they would begin using the newborns as an army rather than as guards, something that she learned about while running in South America.
Newborn production then went into high gear and Riley was constantly busy containing the newborns and selecting potential humans whose disappearances would attract little notice.
The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner
- Main article: The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner
Riley brought many troubled high school and college students to Victoria in the dark where she could change them without revealing her face. This was because Victoria did not want Edward Cullen to read their minds or Alice Cullen to have a connection to them and realize she was behind everything. Riley remained a tool of Victoria's until his death in the battle.
He was sent to Forks to steal some clothes from Bella Swan, who he perceived as the Cullens' pet, as a means to test Alice's power and to give the newborns a source to track her and get past the Cullens.
When the Volturi came to the two of them, they gave a five-day limit for their army to serve their purpose. Victoria went completely paranoid about the situation and demanded action fast. Before they took action, Riley's friend, Diego told him what he'd found out about vampires being unharmed by sunlight. This terrified Riley as he knew that whoever found out about that truth must die. He hoped that Diego would be spared, but Victoria refused and forced him to choose between Diego and her. Being put in between the two of them, Riley chose Victoria and personally watched Diego being tortured to death. This experience changed him, but he remained loyal to Victoria. When he returned to the others, he found a new pile of ashes of dead newborns and went completely mad, attacking several members at the same time, but restrained himself enough to tell them about the Cullens and what they were meant to do. He also convinced Bree to remain in the team and try to persuade Fred to help, as he never seemed to obey or listen to anyone.
In the next few days, he manipulated the newborns into exactly the mindset that Victoria wanted. When they were ready to make their move, Fred escaped before the battle, and Riley left to find Victoria while the others confronted the Cullens and the Quileute werewolves.
- Main article: Eclipse
Riley was the one who came into Bella's room to get her scent. This was because he was the only mature vampire there besides Victoria. If any newborns had come there, Charlie would have been killed. Thankfully, Riley spared him. In the film, he almost killed Charlie but fled when Bella came in.
Riley made his first appearance in Eclipse novel during the battle between the Cullens and the army. He and Victoria located Bella and Edward.When Riley faced Edward in the clearing, Edward tried to convince him to give up the fight by telling him how Victoria really felt about him (that she didn't really love him; but was using him to avenge her mate was James who was killed in Twilight). Though he had suspected as much about her intentions, he remained faithful to her. Riley tried to attack Edward, but Seth jumped into the middle and attacked him. While Victoria fought Edward to get to Bella, Riley was busy fending for himself from Seth. At the end of the fight, he called out to Victoria's help, but she ignored him completely and he was dragged behind the bushes where Seth ripped him apart and then burned his body parts. Victoria died seconds later at Edward's hands.
Physical appearance
- "I still remember how Riley looked that night, though the image was all blurry because my eyes had sucked back then. He was the hottest boy I'd ever seen, tall and blond and perfect, every feature. I knew his eyes must be just as beautiful behind the dark sunglasses he never took off. And his voice was so gentle, so kind. I figured I knew what he would want in exchange for the meal, and I would have given it to him, too. Not because he was so pretty to look at, but because I hadn't eaten anything but trash for two weeks. It turned out he wanted something else, though."
- ―Bree Tanner on seeing Riley for the first time[src]
Riley is described as being around Bella's age when he was changed, with vivid red eyes and shining blond hair, though it is dark blonde in the film. He was muscular, tall and handsome and used his newfound strength with little tact, like most newborns.
Personality and traits
After Victoria changed him, Riley became nothing more than a menace just like the sadistically dangerous and psychotic vampire, Victoria, until they both died attempting to kill Bella. Riley was very loyal to his ally and lover, Victoria, which he remained to be even when Edward raised suspicion. Riley's fatal flaw was his love for Victoria, which eventually got him killed. With the newborns he was responsible for he was violent and unpredictable most of the time, interspersed with oddly affectionate and caring periods which were in actual fact manipulation to mold them into the perfect army. He did in fact feel real affection for Diego, but not enough to prevent himself from torturing him to death with Victoria in The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner.
- Main article: Relationships
- Main article: Victoria
- Main article: Riley Biers and Victoria
Victoria turned Riley into a vampire to command her army of newborn vampires as she didn't want to do the dirty work. Victoria also lied to Riley, telling him that she loved him. In truth, she simply said that so that he would follow her more devotedly, and was still in love with her former deceased mate, James. Riley was Victoria's pawn and she wanted to get revenge on Bella Swan and Edward Cullen for James' death. Edward tried to make Riley believe him by telling him the truth and that Victoria is still in love with James. Riley didn't believe it and he got killed by Seth.
- Main article: Diego
- "I can always count on you, Diego."
- ―Riley to Diego[src]
Diego was Riley's oldest and most trusted newborn. In The Short Second Life Of Bree Tanner, Bree says that she thinks Riley is rather fond of Diego. Diego and Bree see through a lie Riley told the army, so Diego tells Riley about it. Diego doesn't return, and later it is discovered that Riley was forced to help Victoria in Diego's killing. Victoria had forced him to pick her or Diego. However, he lies to Bree and says he is still alive.
Riley is a Irish name that can mean "rye clearing" referring to the place where the battle in Eclipse takes place, as well as "courageous".
Film portrayal
Xavier Samuel was cast as Riley in the film Eclipse. Riley is described as a "good-looking college student who joins the plot of villain Victoria to murder protagonist Bella."[1] In the films, Riley was given the last name "Biers" and a new DOB, 10 April 1990, to make him the correct age for the film's release, as opposed to when the book was set.[2]
In the film, he was said to have come from Forks, which is the reason that Victoria chose him to lead the army.

Good cage
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
I have run high end expensive carbon cages on my bikes but I keep coming back to these. They just work, and they are light. The best part? They actually hold my bottles so they don't rattle around.
Fernando G.
So Far, So Good!
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
I have been using it on my road bike for 3 months now, and I am really happy with it.
I haven never had anything better than the wire free give-away bottle cages, and this is a pretty good upgrade for me.
It holds bottles in place, and it is extremely easy to put the bottle back while riding.
No issues with bottles falling out, or breakage. Lets see how they hold up.
Mitch Creer
Pretty darn solid for price
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
This is probably the best value cage there is. Period. It may flex a little but that honestly helps its longevity as it can withstand impact or a missed bottle placement better. Some have said that it looks a little cheap but I have a white cage and a black cage on a Ridley Fenix and it actually looks pretty clean. For those looking to save weight this is great as well as it weighs almost nothing and is a mere fraction of a carbon cage. I would consider stocking up on several of these and if one does have an issue then I can easily replace it.
Amanda Roper
Holds my waterbottle
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
I put this on my mountain bike and its held up so far. My water bottle hasn't fallen out on any rides.
Justin Henderson
Not too shabby
- Familiarity:I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
I gave this as a present for my father in law. He loved the sleek, look of the cage. It's light weight, fairly sturdy, but I'm curious to see how it holds up with wear and tear.
Kyle Br
don't put it on your dogma F8
- Familiarity:I've used it several times
These are an adequate cage to get you by, they are light, but on the flimsy side. They aren't going to break on you, hey are just not as solid as a more expensive cage. It's the old saying you get what you pay for. I bought these as a back up set and use them on a cross bike, if I was more serious about cross I'd probably upgrade.
Steven N.
Super lightweight; holds bottles well
- Familiarity:I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Your bottles won't fall out with these cages. They aren't the most stylish cages, and they certainly aren't going to impress your friends. But if you aren't too concerned about looking PRO, you'll still get the featherweight benefit that people pay tons more for carbon cages to get, and have money left over for gear that actually matters for performance.
These may not last as long as machined aluminum or carbon cages, but you can buy five of them for the price of one carbon cage, so you do the math.
Great value. Lots of colors to match your frame. No brainer.
Great cages
- Familiarity:I've put it through the wringer
I know it can be scary to buy something so cheap for our beautiful expensive bikes. But I have these cages is black and have used the same two cages for the past 3 years and have never had a problem. I've used them in every kind of road race there is. Plus, they are super light! You can barely find Carbon cages this light. Honestly, as long as they keep making this cage I will buy/recommend them.
Wade M.
light, but flimsy and weak
I bought two of these recently. The first broke after one ride. The other lasted 250 miles before it was so cracked and wobbly I couldn't trust it. Don't waste your money. I bought two Elite custom race cages and they are waaaaay better and I got them at a great price.

May 6, 2016
WILMINGTON, N.C. (AP) -- Republican presidential contender Newt Gingrich is using a basketball analogy to indicate his intention to continue his bid for the GOP nomination.
Talking to WWAY-TV in Wilmington on Wednesday, Gingrich described North Carolina as a great state for sports and that people expect basketball teams to play the entire game. He said his bid for the White House has every right to campaign until the race is over.
Gingrich, who spoke at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, said people walked up to him and urged him to stay in the race, represent their values and fight for conservatism.
The appearance in North Carolina by the former House speaker comes one day after Gingrich finished third in primaries in the District of Columbia and Maryland, and fourth in Wisconsin.

Hello Cake Blog readers. It's Lauren from EllenJay Events. I want to start off first by thanking Carrie for asking me to be a part of her amazingly gorgeous and always inspiring cake blog! I am honored to be a new contributor on The Cake Blog and look forward to sharing many great cupcake recipes and photos with you monthly! Today I am sharing my first cupcake creation to kick off summer, Honey Cupcakes with Honey Cream Cheese Frosting!
The star ingredient is fresh local honey that I picked up at our local farmer's market a few weeks ago. While my husband and I were scoping out all the vendors we were quickly persuaded to sample some fresh honey. After one taste of a sweet wild flower honey I was sold and quickly purchased a mason jar full! Honey is an ingredient I always keep on hand (usually in the shape of the honey bear) to add some sweetness to smoothies, corn bread, a bowl of oatmeal, homemade granola bars or even dog biscuits for my black lab. Everything tastes better with a little honey right? All it took was one spoonful of honey and I was inspired to create a honey cupcake that I hope you are going to love!
Before we jump right to the recipe, I wanted to share with you some basic tools I use all the time when making cupcakes. I find that using a standard size ice cream scoop with a release mechanism is very helpful when filling the cupcake liners and making uniform sized cupcakes. I picked up my scoop at a grocery store a few years ago for just a few dollars and it is one of my absolute favorite kitchen gadgets! When it comes time to decorating cupcakes I absolutely love using a large round piping tip to create a tall swirly design like on these cupcakes! Don't have a piping tip, just scoop your icing into a large zip lock bag, snip off one bottom corner and start swirling away!
Just looking at these cupcakes makes me happy! These little cakes are extra special because you get a double pop of honey in both the cake and frosting! Add some sugar sprinkles on top and you've got a vibrant sweet that is perfect for those bright summery days! Honey Cupcakes would be the perfect addition to a summer picnic or family reunion. You could even add some fresh lemon juice or zest for an extra punch of flavor! Don't let summer pass you by without giving this recipe a try!

I'm pretty new at this too and from a variety of tutorials i've seen on this site and comments from the OGs, the best advice seems to be to think about how these cities began and then later expanded. So ask yourself why did people settle here in the first place, how does this affect where the "old" part of the city is, and how that affects later expansion.
So, if it started as a port/trading center - then you would likely see the old city in that vicinity and perhaps an old walled area, markets, and some administration stuff in that vicinity. If it started as a mining colony or geared towards defense, then perhaps the old city is in your sky district. You also have to think about food - so is there farmland? If so, is it within the city walls or outside? Does most of their food come from fishing and trade? If so, then the original settlements were likely near the port. Once you have the original settlement, then you can think about what came later and where it would be situated. (i.e. as the city grew, did new arrivals settle in the outskirts or did the original inhabitants become wealthier and resettle in more exclusive and defensible parts of the city?)
I'm assuming that others who know more about this than me will chime in...but I think your broad layout and back story is really cool and hopefully these brief words help to add some detail to what you have already.

Morning! Drinking coffee before heading to the store to meet the group for 8. It's 30 degrees out. Happy Saturday, everyone!
mostly harmless
Good morning NTS. I'm getting ready to run 20 on the trail.
Have a great day all!
Got up and was dressed to go when it started raining. Ugh! So I'm gonna try to get it in after work tonight. I have a party to go to after so I'm hoping boss will let me leave a little early to get my miles done.
NTS - enjoy your run.
ImNotScott - I'll be startin some trail training once I'm done with Woodlands in March. I'm lookin to do a 50 miler in the fall.
Dec 23 - Apocalypse Survivors Half Marathon
Jan 13 - Houston Chevron Marathon
Feb 17 - Austin Half Marathon
March 2 - Woodlands Marathon
Good morning,
Windy but it is supposed to be the warmest part of the day today at 27. I did a little over 10 and finally broke 9:00 min mile pace. I'll spend the rest of the day taking Christmas decorations down and preparing for taxes.
scott--have a good 20
nts--have fun with the group
rachel--hope you get the run in today. Any racing strategy for The Woodlands?
Morning everyone! MIssed a few days being too busy. Hope I didn't miss any big news!
Ran late yesterday left from the city and ran toward home. Got in 9 miles in a very slow 1:40before hubby
picked me up. Would have been more but the first 5 miles sidewalks were not plowed, and the road was
too dangerous to run on. So I spent that 5 miles basically hopping over ruts, snowbanks and ice. That was
a darn hard orkout.
I'm really excited!! We stuck to our resolution and started back swimming today! Went to the pool for the 7am
coached swim. It's a 25 minute drive so we were up at 6am on a Saturday.
Basically the 2 lanes next to the deck are for those wanting tips from the coach. He give you some drills and
watching your technique.
Lots of friends were there and I had forgotten how much I loved swimming!!! Got in 1000 meters, with some
drills. So not bad for the first time in months and months! Can't wait to go back on Monday.
NTS, enjoy your group run.
Scott, good luck on the 20!
Marco, nice to have it a little warmer isn't it?
Rachel, rain sucks. I would rather run in snow.
Have a good one folks!
Go figure
Trying to find some more hay to restock the barn
Hey everyone. I just thought I'd check in so you didn't all think I'd disappeared. I've had that really bad cold that seems to be going around the country. This will be the 6th day where running isn't an option. I'm hoping I can give it a shot Monday.
Stay healthy out there!
Glad you checked in!! Been worried about you. Take care. Our son had that over the holidays, took
2 weeks to feel back to normal.
I managed to get my 8 in at 10:30 last night after my in-laws went home. Hopefully I'll have time to get 10 in today at some point. Saturday is usually the day I get to run during daylight, which I look forward to all week, so I hope I get some time during the day.
NTS - have fun with your group
Scott - hope the trails go well
Marco - good job getting through the 10
BS - wow, up at 6:00 on a Saturday to go swimming! That's something you probably won't see me doing
Damn peer pressure!LOL My friends have been after me to come since last summer and they are all early
rising nut jobs.
I am not an super early morning person but it was sure nice to step out on the pool deck and have a bunch of
people go "finally, she's came!"LOL
Enjoy your 10 in the daylight!
Bad Ass
Morning! I ran at 6am to prevent the heat but even then I did not evade it. 11 miles in 72F and 97% humidity. Faster than the Berlin marathon pace and it felt too easy (if you remember, I was huffing and puffing during the race and using albuterol like crazy). If only I can do that during a marathon I should PR. But asthma is not like that.
Hope everybody is having a great day!

Hey there. My first 20 of this session done. I realized on my way there that this was the first time I've ever run 20 miles by myself. I've only run that far twice before when I was training for Shamrock last winter and both of those times I ran with a few people from a local running club. It was a nice run but I think I may have gone out a little too fast because finishing was pretty difficult. I can tell when I'm struggling because I start getting mad at my iPod for not serving up inspirational music when i want it! Nothing like getting angry at inanimate objects to suggest that you might not be thinking rationally. :-)
NTS - I hope the group run went well. It was 30 degrees when I started too but had risen to 37 when I finished 3 hours + later.
CC - I hope your boss cooperates and you can get your miles in before the party tonight. 50 miler sounds brutal! Has Warren rubbed off on you?
Marco - Nice job getting the 10 done in the balmy temps. Have fun with the un-decorating. We need to do that too!
Beth - I'm glad you had such a good time swimming. 6:00 is when my internal clock makes me wake up most of the time.
SIAR - I'm sorry you are having such a rough time with that cold. Thanks for posting, I was starting to worry. You crossed my mind a few times on my run today, wondering if you were alright. Get well soon!
Jack - Enjoy running like a non-vampire!
Damaris - Cool that the 11 went well despite the weather. 72 sounds nice to me right about now, but hold the humidity!
Hey there. My first 20 of this session done. I realized on my way there that this was the first time I've ever run 20 miles by myself.

Great job Scott!!!
My hubby wakes up at 6am as well. We always set the alarm but never need it.
My internal clock would have me sleeping until 10am every day if I let it. But then
again I rarely get 3 hours in without waking up.
CC - I hope your boss cooperates and you can get your miles in before the party tonight. 50 miler sounds brutal! Has Warren rubbed off on you?
no, I don't think so. I've been planning this the last couple of months. I just need to pick one now. I want one for the fall
no, I don't think so. I've been planning this the last couple of months. I just need to pick one now. I want one for the fall
Hey all! I've got a short easy run today followed by core/balance/strength. I also get to put away all the Christmas decor that is still sitting out. Wish I could wiggle my nose and have it all done.
Swift - How was the group run?
Scott - Good job on the 20! For a minute, I read "trail" as treadmill". I do all my long run's by myself. Sometimes I enjoy them and sometimes, like this last one, I really wish I had a running partner. Funny about getting mad at your ipod cause it can't read your mood. Maybe one day we'll get that kind of technology.
CC - I gather it must have been a pretty hard rain to keep you from running. Hope you can get it done this evening.
Marco - Hurray for warmer (cough, cough) weather.
Beth - That does sound like a tough run today but maybe kind of fun? Glad you enjoyed the swim! All my swim talk got to you, huh? I have to drive 30 minutes to my pool but have decided it's worth it. However, I agree with Jackdyl, I don't think I'd make it there at 6:00 am on Saturday. Now, 7:00 pm on a Friday evening is when we have our swim clinic and that I can do. It is fun to be with a group when you do drills.
SIAR - Glad to know you're alive but sorry to hear you're so sick. You've had a rough go of it this season with illness.
Jackdyl - Hopefully you'll get that daylight run.
Damaris - Sorry the heat was with you today but sounds like a good run despite.

Officials say a powerful magnitude 6.9 earthquake struck Sunday night off the coast of Northern California, but there was no danger of a tsunami.
The U.S. Geological Survey says the temblor struck at 9:18 p.m. PDT about four miles beneath the Pacific seabed and about 50 miles west of Eureka.
Sheriff's and fire officials in Humboldt County, which includes most of the populated areas near the quake, say there have been no calls about damages or injuries.
USGS seismologist Susan Hoover says more than 300 people have reported feeling the temblor on their website.
The National Tsunami Warning Center says there is no tsunami danger for the region.

White ready to revisit Civic Center
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Makenzie White is looking to make some new memories tonight.
The West Virginia University freshman will get her first taste of the Chesapeake Energy Classic when the Mountaineers take on in-state rival Marshall at 7 tonight at the Civic Center.
The Civic Center floor has been a home away from home for White, who led Scott to the Class AA state championship game for three straight seasons but each time coming up short.
The 5-foot-7 guard was named the state player of the year last season and surpassed 2,000 career points, which only a handful of players in the state have accomplished, in a stellar four-year career for the Skyhawks, which included three straight all-state first-team selections.
"It's exciting for me,'' said White before practice Monday at the Civic Center. "There's a lot of old memories good and bad. We lost the last three years, but I got a couple of records here so ... I'm excited to be here. Hopefully, we'll get a lot of people to come out.''
White said it has been a big adjustment going from AA high school basketball to the Division I level in the Big 12 Conference.
"It's another level,'' she said. "Everything's different. The weight lifting, the conditioning, school work ... it's way different than high school. It's way harder and more time consuming. I've adjusted to it. At first it was crazy hard. I'm doing really well. It's everything I had hoped and more.''
White has played in two games for the Mountaineers (4-2), and is averaging three minutes per game with one steal and 0-for-3 shooting. It has been tough to crack the lineup on a team that has been ranked in both the Associated Press and USA Today-ESPN Top 25 polls.
"I haven't played much, but I'm a freshman and I've got to work for it so I'm going to do everything I can to get on the floor,'' she said.

Legend has it that Victor Hugo, the prolific French scribbler whose body of published work amounts to seven novels, 18 volumes of poetry and 21 plays, also holds the record for the world's shortest correspondence. In 1862, while in exile on the British Isle of Guernsey for speaking out against Napoleon III, Hugo telegrammed his publisher "?" demanding the reaction to the release of his latest novel, Les Misérables. The reply: "!"
From This Story
Related Content
A century and a half later, "!" is still an apt description of Hugo's epic masterpiece, which is still spawning numerous iterations on the page, stage and screen. In fact, many modern admirers may only be familiar with the iconic, 1980 musical production of the story created by Alain Boublil and Claude-Michel Schönberg. It is this stage version of Les Misérables that will be brought to life again this month in director Tom Hooper's film starring Hugh Jackman as Jean Valjean, the redeemed convict who prevails in the face of repeated persecution, and Anne Hathaway as the downtrodden single-mother, Fantine. Amanda Seyfried will play Valjean's adopted daughter, Cosette.
"The story is, in many ways, a love affair with Paris," says Kathryn Grossman, a French professor at Pennsylvania State University who has authored four books on Hugo and Les Misérables. She notes that at the time of its release, Les Mis was both a call to arms for the French people and a lamentation of the "old Paris" that Hugo loved.
The controversial urban planner, Baron Haussmann, razed much of Hugo's old Paris in the mid-19th century while the writer was in exile. The labyrinth of narrow, interweaving streets and hidden neighborhoods, relics of the medieval age, was leveled into the broad, sidewalk-bordered avenues that define modern Paris. This was both an effort to quell the city's rampant congestion and the disease it fostered, and to prevent the building of revolution barricades. Today, though, it is still possible for travelers to find echoes of the Paris that Hugo once knew, from the house where he lived and the places he frequented, to the subterranean abyss that haunts the pages of the author's most enduring novel.
The first stop for any Hugophile in Paris is undoubtedly the writer's home-turned-museum on the second floor of the Hôtel de Rohan-Guéménée, where he lived from 1832 to 1848 with his wife Adèle and their four children. It was in this apartment, in the crimson-draped drawing room, that Hugo solidified his position as the father of French Romanticism. It is also the place where he wrote two collections of poetry, plays such as "Ruy Blas" and "Les Burgraves," and a portion of Les Misérables. He started Les Mis in 1845 and worked for 17 years, spending the entire last year at Guernsey making corrections—eight hours a day—to the manuscript.
The museum is divided to illustrate the three sections of Hugo's life: before, during and after exile. It contains hundreds of his drawings and is decorated with artifacts collected by the writer during his travels. The China Room exhibition, which represents his exile in Guernsey, was designed by Hugo for his mistress, Juliette Drouet, and is scattered with romantic allusions to her.

I love these little felt mouse candy canes. They are darling. I have always wanted to make these with my girls and I love the felt colors you used. Too cute!
I finally got my post up about our Barbie House Decorations as well as a fun Barbie Coloring page I illustrated. So here is the link: http://myshaenoel.blogspot.com/2011/12/barbie-house-christmas-decorations-diy.html
Thanks again for being our inspiration! You guys are an amazingly creative family.
Merry Christmas!

Adorable felt mice!! Wish I had found your blog a bit sooner ... this would have been awesome to do with my 6yr old R for her class. Aaaahhh that's next year figured out already!!
So I have recently discovered your blog and feel I should be bowing down to you! You are the crafting Queen .. my new idol! I did have one problem though. Super excited by the colored glue crafts. Went to the store and stocked up on glue and then started mixing with my acrylics. Alas it did not mix well and the glue has a spotty cloudy look to it ... then it refused to squeeze out the bottle! I'm wondering if my old tube acrylics were no good? We are currently living in the Philippines ... unfortunately, third world countries do not bode well for obtaining craft supplies!
Meanwhile, I'm pining a bazillion crafts, from your site, onto Pinterest. I have a shopping list for our home visit to NY ... wonder if the plane could drop me off at our local Michaels?!?!
Thanks for all your awesome inspiration, and sorry for the rambling post ;o)
Merry Christmas!

Thank you so much for your customer service. I ordered a pair of boots for my son and of course, ordered the wrong size. The boots got here in time for Christmas, WOW to that, it was awesome. I returned the boots the week after Christmas and received the correct size three days ago. WOW again! Fanatical customer service is right. I truly appreciate all you did to help me with my problem. You have a customer for life and I will be passing your name onto others. Thanks again!"

"Wearing the right bra size is just as important as choosing the right bra style. So, how long has it been since you've checked your bra size?"
•Meet Tomima
Many factors affect our bust measurements, such as pregnancy, exercise, birth control pills and weight
fluctuations. Did you know the average woman wears six different bra sizes throughout her life? All things
considered, it will be worth your while to grab a tape measure and check your size.
(Download a Printable Tape Measure here.)
I've looked at dozens of measuring systems, carefully tested them, and spoken to many experts in the
industry. What I've learned is that no one measuring system gives an accurate result for every woman -
measuring for a bra is not an exact science. So, what's a woman to do? Armed with a few
guidelines and common sense, you can figure out your correct bra size.
If you own a bra that fits you well, that bra represents your correct bra size. That bra also represents a
good brand for you. Every lingerie manufacturer has their unique take on fit. Like shoes, if you find a brand
that fits and is comfortable, chances are their other styles will fit you as well. You should look to that
brand first before venturing out to others.
