VOTD: Kid's Optimus Prime Birthday Cake Actually Transforms
Posted on Thursday, August 27th, 2015 by Ethan Anderton
When you're a kid, and you love something like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, SpongeBob SquarePants, Masters of the Universe, Transformers, Star Wars or whatever, one of the coolest things you can do is have a birthday cake with your favorite characters thrown onto the frosting that is about to make you run around like a monster and give your parents a headache.
However, technology these days has made cake so much more impressive than just transferring an image to a flat sheet cake. There are cakes of all shapes and sizes, and one kid will never forget his sixth birthday, because his father made him an Optimus Prime birthday cake that actually transforms from vehicle form into the robot hero we all know.
See the transforming Optimus Prime cake in action below! Read More »

First post here. I'm fixing up my mother's 2002 Santa Cruz Superlight to sell on ebay because she never uses it. I've been having a good time cleaning it up and testing it before I sell it.
I'm a MB novice, so this is more of a basic "is this how its supposed to work question."
It has a Fox brand Float racing shock in the rear suspension. When I ride it, it is pretty much always in its fully compressed state. I thought this might be how it is supposed to work, but I'm noticing my pedals are dangerously close to the ground. The shock still damps a bit (seems like not enough) and its compression/expansion rate responds to adjustments on the little dial, but it just seems like it isn't working right. Shouldn't it remain in a pretty uncompressed state during normal pedaling and coasting and what not?
I've been loving this forum, you folks are a wealth of information and personality.

Does anyone have a full setlist? The setlist that's floating around is missing a few songs, notably the amazing International Players Anthem!
Does anyone have a full setlist? The setlist that's floating around is missing a few songs, notably the amazing International Players Anthem!
Damn they were awesome last night. Having watched that underwhelming performance on the stream last weekend I was fully prepared to call it quits early, but that setlist was way more than i was expecting, and Andre actually seemed like he was having a good time. I'm glad I gave them a chance.
Glad they were better this time around. Can't say I'm surprised, though.
Reminder NorCal peeps , 99 for single day and 199 for three day bottlerock tickets . We have a chance at redemption next month .
Spicy pie is mainstream shit.
They were good last night. Really enjoyed it, although I did leave the front after roses.
They are doing only fests , don't get your hopes up .
Spicy pie is mainstream shit.
So 'International Players Anthem' is missing from the setlist on setlist.fm, any others missing as well?
Also, anyone have a recap of what Big Boi said to the crowd after the last song?

Gov. Beverly Perdue says she believes a drilling method for natural gas opposed by some citizens and environmental groups can be performed safely in North Carolina.
Perdue told WRAL-TV on Wednesday that hydraulic fracturing -- or fracking -- makes sense if it can be regulated and fees are in place to ensure inspectors are on the ground.
The governor made the comments a week after she visited north-central Pennsylvania to examine the process firsthand and talk with regulators and local officials.
It's believed that natural gas that can be extracted from shale deposits in central North Carolina. Perdue says the challenge will be to determine the potential supply of gas and whether local residents will support the drilling.

There are those who will take the opportunity to elevate "Match Point" to instant classic status and those who will damn it with faint praise -- yet both will do so by saying the same thing: "Woody Allen's best in years!" Never mind that Allen stands utterly alone in output quantity, and that approximately the same amount of time has elapsed between "The Thin Red Line" and "The New World" and Woody's last very good film ("Sweet and Lowdown") and his latest very good film. There have become simply too many expectations surrounding each release -- Woody Allen diehards, who feel a harsh jab to the heart every time another "Jade Scorpion" or "Hollywood Ending" disappoints and refuels his detractors, have become his toughest critics of all. And the oft-heard post "Interiors" mantra -- "Why can't he get back to doing the early, funny ones?" -- has been replaced in recent years by the moan "Why can't he get back to doing the serious ones?"
Who would have thought it, but nostalgia for Woody Allen's mid-period chamber dramas (at the time depreciated by nostalgia for his stream-of-conscious slapsticks like "Bananas" and "Love and Death") has resulted in a general critical embrace of "Match Point." Some have even gone so far as to call it unique in all of the Woody oeuvre: crisper, leaner narrative, striking sexual electricity, refreshing London setting. Truly, the film is something of a small marvel, as it features some of the most fluid, classical Hollywood storytelling seen in some years, yet it is also ineluctably, satisfyingly, condemningly Woody, mammoth in philosophical cynicism, miniscule in presentation. There are shards of "Crimes and Misdemeanors," perhaps a touch of "Zelig" and a taste of "Alice." And of course, as a result, Woody dredges up an entire history of referents, from Dostoevsky to Dreiser, the latter by way of George Stevens's adaptation "A Place in the Sun," which is directly quoted in the introduction of Scarlett Johansson's Nola Rice, spotted playing (not pool but) ping-pong from the hallway of a luxurious home by its slithery protagonist, Chris Wilton (a wonderfully self-effacing Jonathan Rhys-Meyers).
As necessary as it is to blurt out Woody's spiritual mentors, borrowings, and homages, it's even more essential to place them aside. For "Match Point" is no mere rehash, and to say so is to give credence to the legions of Woody detractors who would invalidate the career of this most important of American filmmakers. Only high-minded critics, drowning in years of Bergman and Fellini, would deny the importance of Woody's 30-year project, to integrate established foreign modes of cinema into the American vernacular, especially quite a few years after the influence of international films reached its trendy zenith with the New Hollywood. Woody simply never quit, less a recycler than a reappropriator, and "Match Point" displays a masterful wit, craft, and intelligence; the way Woody manipulates character identification through slightly shifted mise-en-scene or clever cutting is nothing less than Claude Chabrolian ("Match Point"'s arc has something of Chabrol's "La Ceremonie" in it), and there's even a touch of Patricia Highsmith to add to the pile.
Yet overstuffed it isn't, and the trajectory here is Woody Allen's most streamlined and elegant since "Hannah and Her Sisters." Even many of his greatest works tend to be episodic ("Radio Days"), have purposely sputtering, rambling narratives ("Husbands and Wives," 'Everyone Says I Love You"), or seem like foreign-film starter kits ("Another Woman"). His classicist class-dissection story--of an unassuming social climber (Rhys-Meyers) in contemporary London who worms his way into an aristocratic family, marrying daughter Chloe (that preeminent, great invisible actor Emily Mortimer) while maintaining a torrid affair with his brother-in-law's ex-girlfriend (Johansson) -- may not be full of social revelations, but it's quite welcome after the dumbfounding anachronisms of "Melinda and Melinda"'s pathetic boho-bourgeois. To succumb to this type of insinuating schemer storyline has freed Woody Allen up to revel in a traditional mode of Hollywood filmmaking that he has admired his whole life; and it also gives him a chance, along with his stellar DP, Remi Adefarasin (who shot that supreme model of period unadornment, "The House of Mirth"), to look at his environs in new ways--the world here is seductively framed, bringing out the muted passions equally in both a misty, rain-soaked wheatfield and the textured, sensual lips and narrow stares of Rhys-Meyers and Johansson, both of whose angular features can turn from cherub to devil in the wink of an eye.
Atheist though Woody Allen may be, his "Crimes and Misdemeanors" (for my money, Woody Allen's greatest, most revealing, and therefore most terrifying movie) was deeply spiritual; by placing morality as a firmly earthbound concept, it created a dialogue that engaged more directly with religion, through doubt, than any of his other films. "Match Point," which often recalls "Crimes," is more resolutely secular -- perhaps it plumbs the depths of existential fictions rather than its filmmaker's own guilt. "Crimes" was expansive; it seemed to encompass all the world in its amoral nighttime. "Match Point," though it may similarly revel in crime and forms of punishment, is intimate; it is obsessed with chance and circumstance, and stays firmly in place -- London, which feels more insular than any of the director's Manhattan portraits. "Match Point" isn't Jewish, isn't spiritual, its twists are predicated less on choice than on utter chaos, and its protagonist's transgressions don't have the infinite oomph that made "Crimes and Misdemeanors" into such a piercing wail. (If "Crimes" was finally cosmic, "Match Point" is ultimately cosmetic.) Yet Woody remains resolute in his need to dissect how rationality and evil function in a Godless world.
In everyone's incessant bashing of Woody Allen's recent works, it's often ignored just how dark his films have remained, and how much further down into the cavities of his own self-loathing he's burrowed, even in supposedly "lighter" fare like "Anything Else." That film, with its defiantly hateful, shrill characterizations, was nearly unwatchable, but at the same time edifying: the Woody persona had become so shriveled and paranoid, that his tendencies finally emerged as literally homicidal. So, Woody hasn't really been gone, and his dark-hued "Match Point" isn't really a comeback -- he's been hanging around all along, lurking.

Take 2
By Neal Block
It seems almost too ironic that this film about infidelity finds Woody Allen cheating on Manhattan with its snooty older sister, London. There's something missing in "Match Point"'s clean British setting, something that makes the film at first feel un-Woody-like (even more so than the Allen-obscuring marketing campaign). Very possibly it's the absence of Jews, but just below the surface, it's clear he's merely traded upper-middle-class Jewish guilt and philandering for upper-class English guilt and philandering. What's the difference, outside of a few jokes? "Match Point" dredges up the great Woody Allen connection between Jew = comedy and gentile = drama, the psychological reasoning of which would require far more than I could explain or even introduce in the limited space here.
For many years, Woody Allen has claimed that he's never been satisfied with any film he's ever made, and that one day he strives to make a film that could stand up alongside a work by Bergman or Fellini. It's a public bit of self-loathing that fits so perfectly into the character Woody's created for himself over his half-century career that its essential wrongness is beside the point--that he's already done it with "Crimes and Misdemeanors" and a handful of earlier films doesn't make Allen feel any better about himself. With "Match Point," he comes as close to his perpetual, personally unreachable goal as he has since "Crimes," two decades ago, and with subject matter that explores similar reactions to similar provocations. While "Match Point" does not dissect emotions with the fervor of its predecessor, its thesis about the relationship between romantic love and violent narcissism is perfectly delivered by Jonathan Rhys-Meyers and Scarlett Johansson's romantic narcissists. "Match Point" feels like it could be a great, revitalizing turn-around for Allen, after a few years on shaky ground.

Take 3
By Chris Wisniewski
Even his most vociferous defenders (or apologists) would be hard-pressed to champion Woody Allen for his originality, and though it's ungenerous, it's also fair to say that Allen's made a career of recycling the work of better thinkers and artists, from Nietzsche and Bergman to the Marx brothers. His new drama "Match Point" has been hailed alternately as a decisive break and a return-to-form, and in this case, both descriptions are accurate enough. Allen's ditched his native New York for London, leaving behind any trace of his incisive comic wit. But let there be no mistake about it: "Match Point" is a straight-up retread of "Crimes and Misdemeanors," importing that film's Dostoyevsky-inspired plotting wholesale, while infusing it with a bit of opera and a half-baked tennis allusion for good measure. It's Woody Allen doing Woody Allen doing Dostoyevsky. Original it's not, but I'll be damned if it doesn't work.
Like any Woody Allen film, "Match Point" is an embarrassment of acting riches: Jonathan Rhys-Meyers and Scarlett Johansson bring a seductive and intoxicatingly youthful sexuality to their adulterous social climbers without ever losing sight of the repulsive selfishness upon which this morality play hinges, and the modest turns by Emily Mortimer, Brian Cox, and Penelope Wilton fill things out while never distracting from the main bill. Performances alone do not a good film make, though, as Allen himself can probably attest (after all, he's always been a fine director of actors, perhaps the best in contemporary American cinema, even when he's turned out total dreck). Oddly enough, "Match Point" is distinguished largely by Allen's workmanlike filmmaking. The visuals are strictly by the numbers and the writing unassuming, though razor-sharp. Allen doesn't try too hard--as he has with far too many of his recent films--though the final act is dominated by an achingly suspenseful and surprisingly lengthy and elaborate set-piece. For all its operatic grandeur, the film isn't very operatic, and it aspires to novelistic texture without really being novelistic. "Match Point" may well be too derivative, schematic, and slight to be great art, but at least it's one hell of a movie.

Does it take forever to put in?
Married to DH for 5 years and in love with our boys Drew Thomas (12/5/10) and Blake Ryan (3/20/13).
They numb the area first. Shots are 10 times worse than the epidural.

I'll be honest, for me, yes, the epidural hurt.
The first time though, I got it when I was in full blown intense labor. I had been dead set against getting it, even though I was being induced. I got to 7.5 cm and couldn't take it anymore. The epi hurt, but the guy that did it was amazing and got it in first try, very quickly, even though I was being far from cooperative. The pain from the needle was CAKE compared to the pain of labor, and once the numbness kicked in, the relief was so intense I almost felt high.
The 2nd time... was torture. I was induced at 23 weeks because my baby had passed away from a chromosome disorder. I had lumeria sticks inserted cervically before going to the hospital, and that hurt terribly. At the very first signs of labor pains, I requested the epi because I was going through enough already, I didn't want to feel anything else.
The dumb girl that did it this time was NOT as good as the one that did it for my first son. The first time she inserted it, she did it incorrectly. I STILL have back problems because of this, she placed it somewhere wrong and had to redo it, and even then, it only took effect on half of my body, so I still felt the other half for the remaining 48 hours I was in labor.
I guess it kinda comes down to how experienced the anesthesiologist is, and how progressed your labor is. I think I felt the needle a lot less the first time because of how much pain I was already in, and the dude was a pro.
But in any case, yeah it hurts, but it's worth it in my opinion, assuming the one guiding the needle doesn't screw up.

umm.. something to consider -- it typically slows down labor UNLESS you also have pitocin going through an IV.
Honestly, I would take some birthing classes (NOT at a hospital because hospital classes assume you're going to get an IV and meds/epidural, etc) to learn some ways to cope naturally with your contractions.
I recently read a book that said "the contractions can't be stronger than you, because it is you..." And thought that was amazing <3 of course thats assuming no pitocin ;) You should look into a birth center!! I won't have to get an IV this time around, which im really excited about, and plan on going absolutely needle free.
When it comes to labor, less fear = less pain! :) Good luck.

Backup catcher has three-run blast, drives in five runs to help Padres edge Giants
Padres at Giants
Today: Padres LHP Eric Stults (1-2, 4.15 ERA) at Giants RHP Matt Cain (0-3, 4.35), 7:15 p.m.
On the air: FSSD; 1090-AM, 860-AM (Spanish)
SAN FRANCISCO In a nine-round bout that initially featured evasion from atop the mound and around the field, the Padres landed the first punch at AT&T Park. An offense that had struggled to hit its weight, up and down the lineup, socked the Giants in the gut.
San Francisco counterpunched, popping San Diego in the mouth.
The Padres had a counter to the counter. His name was Rene Rivera.
The final scorecard Monday showed a 6-4 victory over the division-leading Giants, noteworthy as much for the method as for the upset. The Padres (13-14) did not scratch their runs across, as they have had to do this season. Instead, they relied on a few crunching blows to left. Rivera, of all the unlikely candidates, was the hammer. The seventh batter in the order drove in five of San Diego's runs, setting both a career-high and a season-best for the Padres.
The 30-year-old catcher had journeyed far and wide before arriving last year in San Diego. Though he wields an unremarkable bat, Rivera has latched on as a pitcher whisperer and a master framer of the fringe strike.
Monday, there was nothing soft-spoken or subtle about his game, unleashed in the most unexpected of flurries. After popping out in his first at-bat, Rivera came to the plate in the fourth inning of a scoreless game, runners on first and second. In his circuitous career, he had never faced Madison Bumgarner before Monday. The Giants' left-handed ace opened their second encounter with a slider.
With a complete disregard for history, or lack thereof, Rivera swung at that first pitch. A double shot down the left-field line, scoring Tommy Medica and Alexi Amarista. Though the Padres would later strand a pair of runners in the inning, the 2-0 lead still qualified as a minor coup. San Diego had come in averaging less than 2.7 runs per game.
The Giants (15-11) responded in the bottom of the inning. Angel Pagan rapped a leadoff single off Padres starter Tyson Ross. Hunter Pence blasted another mistake to the deepest part of right-center for a run-scoring triple. Brandon Belt walked and advanced to second on Ross' wild pitch, likely erasing a double play (the Padres had already turned two). Two batters later, Michael Morse singled up the middle to score two runs and give San Francisco a 3-2 lead.
Momentarily whipped into a frenzy, the crowd of 41,533 quieted in the ensuing inning. Medica blooped a one-out single. The Bay Area native had flown into San Francisco earlier in the day, recalled from Triple-A El Paso to replace Jedd Gyorko, who had gone on paternity leave. Amarista followed with a walk.
It was Bumgarner's fourth of the night, a season-high.
Rivera stepped into the batter's box for the second time in as many innings. This time, Bumgarner threw him a first-pitch change-up. Rivera swung, again.
This time, the ball ended up over the left-field fence.
Rivera's three-run homer was his first since June 26, 2005, when he was playing for the Mariners … and facing Woody Williams at Petco Park. It secured the Padres' first five-RBI game since Sept. 2, 2012, when Chase Headley drove in six against Colorado.
On this night, too, Rivera's surprise offense helped his starting pitcher.
Ross, who had tossed eight scoreless innings in a meeting with the Giants earlier this month, exited after 5 1/3 innings, having allowed four runs on eight hits.
The Giants kept swinging away following his departure, even connecting on a couple deep drives off Alex Torres and Nick Vincent, but with the bases loaded and two outs in the sixth, Brandon Hicks' shot died at the warning track.
Amarista's fielder's choice RBI supplied a critical insurance run, as well as the final margin, in the top of the ninth.

The Watering Hole: The Grizzled Wizard, 2317 N. 45th St. WALLINGFORD
The Atmosphere: After being chased around Wallingford by a blue Subaru Impreza in what semed to be a really lame adaptation of The Fast and the Furious, I arrived at The Grizzled Wizard thirsty and excited to see what a bar like this could have in store. Despite what the name might imply, there are no pale-faced kids playing Magic: The Gathering in this bar. The space could be called a dive, but the cleanliness and attention to detail don't give off the typical vibe. And with a cooler full of Olympia tall boys, fresh juices for mixer, a plentiful jukebox and a multicade console with 48 free classic arcade games, some might call the place heaven instead.
The Barkeep: Fresh off a vacation to the San Juan Islands, co-owner and everyday-looking guy Joe Couden opened the bar three and a half months ago--on St. Patrick's Day, of all days to open a bar--and until that point was a chef around the city for nearly 14 years.The Drink: Couden has been doing plenty of experimentation behind the bar, developing a pulled pork sandwich shot and a Hawaiian pizza shot, and he's working on a lutefisk shot using Swedish Fish-infused vodka. But when asked what he drinks, the barkeep headed straight for the classic: an old-fashioned. As could be expected, he gave it a slight twist by going the "liquid" route and leaving out muddled ingredients, giving it "the same profile without all the weird stuff that gets caught in your mustache and/or teeth." Couden's preferred base, (ri)1--pronounced rye one--is a top shelf liquor that perfectly contrasts with the bar and holds its own in the drink without overpowering the flavor of the bitters.
The Verdict: After tasting to make sure it was right, Couden handed it over--and it definitely was. Undeniably strong but equally smooth, the (ri)1 made for a great starting block to accentuate the layers of the cocktail. But that may be more description than the drink really needs; the Grizzled Wizard isn't big, upscale, or especially "classy." But none of those things matter because the drinks are good and strong, and as far as friendly bartenders and arcade games go it's hard to beat.

It didn't take the feds long to dispose of the small cogs in the casino-cheating Tran Organization--minions such as Jacob Nickels, son of former mayor Greg Nickels. Then a casino pit boss, Nickels the younger quickly pled guilty in 2007 to helping the organized-crime mob bribe card dealers at the Nooksack River Tribal Casino in Whatcom County--one of almost 30 U.S. casinos, including the Emerald Queen in Tacoma, taken for millions of dollars by the nationwide gang. Now, the FBI says, it has broken up the far-flung card ring altogether with the guilty plea last week in San Diego by co-founder Van Thu Tran, 45.
The FBI calls it "the final chapter for a group that targeted as many as 29 casinos in the United States and Canada . . . using false shuffles, specially developed computer programs, concealed microphones and transmitters, and a web of co-conspirators." With the exception of two fugitives, 42 members have been convicted.
Federal prosecutors said Jacob Nichols, then 26, played a small role, referring some Tran members to Nooksack card dealers, and was paid $5,000. The players made off with $90,000 using a card-counting scheme.The mayor's son claimed he wasn't even around when the cheating occurred. He served three months.
It was, Nichols said afterward, "the biggest mistake of my life."

iMessage does not require a data or internet connection with a ceillular network.
iMessage requires internet access, which included when connected to the internet via an available wi-fi network or when connected to the internet via the cellular network. An iPod Touch can exchange iMessages which doesn't have a data or internet connection with a cellular network and the same for an iPad with wi-fi only.
pajapi Jan 27, 2012 4:41 AM
in response to Allan Sampson
iMessage on an iPhone either sends as text(SMS) messages to non iPhone/iOS 5 users or if iPhones have no data connection at all.
When using an iPhone to iMessage someone and this goes through his/her data (either 3G or wifi) when this connection is unavailable, the message should be sent as a text(SMS) instead, this doesn't happen....
Allan Sampson Jan 27, 2012 5:33 AM
in response to pajapi
iMessage is seperate from SMS/MMS. The app is named Messages with iMessage being incorporated.
Once again, data or internet access via a cellular network is not required for iMessage with an iPhone. An internet connection is required which can include an available wi-fi network only. Cellular Data can be turned off with an iPhone and if the iPhone has an internet connection via an available wi-fi network, the iPhone can exchange iMessages with fellow iOS users running iOS 5 or later - iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.
The sender of an iMessage must have send as SMS enabled on their iPhone if iMessage is not available when sending an iMessage to an iPhone user.
If this doesn't occur when the recipient is roaming internationally, that probably has something to do with it. Having data roaming or cellular data off does not.

Go to settings>messages and turn on send as SMS and it will send a normal text when iMessage is unavailable
pajapi Jan 27, 2012 10:14 AM
in response to tyler39
settings>messages turn on send as SMS is only when the sender has no data connection. It seems the issue is misread. I will explain it in more detail:
When I start the messages app and select a contact, it initially turns green (SMS) but if the app detects the other party has an iphone with iOS 5 and imessage enabled it will turn blue and a data connection will be used instead.
If the receiver has no iPhone / iOS5 the recepient stays green and normal text messaging will be used (green bubble)
So as long as both of us have a data connection we can message eachother in a whatsapp kind of way. If my dataconnections drops and the 'sent as SMS'is on, the messages app will fall back on SMS only and I can continue to sent messages, only difference is that now it is SMS.
Now the issue....
If the receiver I am in a conversation with, somehow has no data connection for any reason at all, my message still will be sent as an iMessage. The iMessage service doesn't detect that the receiver is not capable anymore of receiving an iMessage and so only text(SMS) messages.
This means that either:
- The receiver will only receive the message when they have their data connection back
- or I (as sender) have to see in the conversation window that the message hasn't been delivered yet so I can resent as an SMS instead..... but this defeats the purpose of the transparany of imessage
I hope could make it a bit more clearer....

Hi Palapi,
I have understood your problem, and am experiencing the same issue. When I don't have data access (i.e. in a foreign country, with data roaming turned off and no WiFi available), I can send an SMS from iMessage.
However, when I have data access, but the person to whom I'm sending (who has an iMessage-registered iPhone) does not (i.e. out of the country), the message does not get sent as an SMS as it should, but instead is sent as an iMessage and stored until the other party has data access again.
I have set the "Send as Text (SMS)" to on, but it does not work. This is irritating. I have to resort to turning iMessage off on my phone whenever I want to send a text under these circumstances! Which means turning it back on, and having to reactivate it every time! AND it requires knowing when the recipient is out of data contact...
To the Great State of Texas - iMessage does not require a data plan to send iMessages, but it requires data access (even though it doesn't use the data volume, it needs the platform) - i.e. a viable Edge or 3G or 4G or WiFi connection. If Data Roaming is turned off, the data access is also turned off. Hence, no iMessage...
Hope we get this sorted out!

Hi Pajapi
I think I am experiencing exactly the same problem.
I have an iPhone on a(voice and SMS only plan. I am often in places where there is wifi so having no cellular data is not really a problem.
So I am on the road, out of my wifi zone and so use Messages to send my friend a message. This goes out as an SMS. So far, so good.
My iPhone equipped friend replies but this is sent as an iMessage. And I don't get the reply since I am not connected to the Internet.
Is there some combination of settings that needs to happen? Or should I just turn off iMessage on my no-cellular-data iPhone?
Robert Cote Jun 26, 2012 9:23 PM
in response to pajapi
I am having the same problem as Pajapi and RobHemmerich.
My partner is travelling in the US (we are from Canada) and has data roaming turned off. I sent him an message and he did not get it. Since i didnt' get a response, I thought it might be an iMessage issue.
As the sender... *I* had to turn off iMessage on MY iPhone to send him a message. If I was't a bit tech savvy I would have never known to try that to make sure he got my messages.
While he's on the road, anyone one of his friends with an iPhone that has tries to send him an iMessage, will not get the message too him. This is a BIG issue especially with the proliferation of iOS devices in our circle of friends.
RobHemmerich Jun 27, 2012 4:30 AM
in response to Robert Cote
The "fix" we adopted is for the user who only has periodic access to data to turn off iMessage. It's important for that user to do this WHILE connected to data (wifi or 3G, doesn't matter). That way Apple's servers get the message that that appleID is no longer using iMessage.
redcrow Jun 29, 2012 2:35 AM
in response to pajapi
It's good to read that others are experiencing this obvious bug, too...
My situation: two persons in my family have an iPhone, and both have a cell phone plan that does NOT allow any data. Still, they use iMessage a lot since they both are frequently in places where there's WiFi. So far, OK. But, just as all the others in this discussion have described, apparently iMessage is not clever enough to recognize when someone (either the sender or the receiver) has no data access anymore. In my situation, this means that if one or both persons go out of WiFi reach, the messaging buttons stay blue, but---of course---the messages are not delivered. Even worse, the messaging stays blocked sometimes for up to 15 minutes, saying "Delivering message..." until it finally finds out that there is no way to deliver the message.
When iMessage was introduced, I would have thought that a sort of "heart beat" would have been implemented, so that the central servers can really determine who is "on line" and who isn't. If I want to send a message, I expect the button to be blue only when both me and the receiver of the message are within data access. The way it's working now, it's very unreliable (and often annoying)...
If there's no "heart beat" signal with which the central servers can always stay up to date, at least the iPhone should find out quickly and reliably if a connection between the sender and the receiver is there or not. (It must not lock your messaging for minutes while trying to transmit the message, and of course it must not tell you "message delivered!" when in fact the message was stored somewhere.)
@Apple: any improvements planned?
fjl05 Jan 10, 2013 11:28 PM
in response to pajapi
What Apple can do is to have a setting that automatically turns off iMessage and sends the info to it's servers when the user is roaming so that all messages including, data messages (iMessages) are converted to SMS and received that way instead.

I'm using iPhone 4S with 6.1.2 and started using iMessage recently. However, working to send messages to my wife's iPad 2 fails. My phone detects that she is an iMessage user (blue). But the messages fail when we are both ONLY on WLAN. If I enable my iPhone's Data mode, then the message sends successfully. Her iPad is wifi only, no SIM card, etc.
I thought this is supposed to send with any internet access and doesn't require using the Data plan ...
What's up?
RobHemmerich Dec 27, 2013 8:02 AM
in response to TraumaDoc
Sounds similar to issues I have using iMessage from my workplace's wifi. There the issue is that the firewall is blocking ports used by iMessage. You might want to try your test from another wireless network. If it works elsewhere then your issue is with your local network settings.
MikiP Mar 8, 2014 2:03 PM
in response to pajapi
I have the same/similar issue. Short answer, anyone talking iPHone to iPhone with iMessage that is not connected to internet, you;re hooped. I had this problem after what I think was an iOs update to 6 months ago. After a lengthy discussion with senior advisor, I have had to de-register my phonenumber from my apple id, through both iMessage and FAce time on the phone AND my MacBook. The issue is server related, in that as long as another device is logged into that apple id with your phone number, it is going to receive the replies via iMessage- not SMS- even if you're not signed into iMessage on your phone.
In Canada, wireless carriers are taking advantage of this, or simply Apple has done this in concert with them, or it is just a coincidental loop hole, which means in order for me to use iMessage (or simply receive SMS from iPhone users) I need a data plan. I don't like being strongarmed by technology into spending on something I don't want/need. I can SMS anyone else without an iPhone, it only happens with apple devices.
So, my feedback at apple.com/feedback is as such
"iMessage requires internet. SMS does not. iMessage/FaceTime auto logs phone numbers to the iMessage/Facetime server (it's the same server as I've come to learn), this means that when iMessage/Face Time is turned on anyone sending a message through the server to me will only be sent as an iMessage- not when I'm not connected to internet, meaning I will not receive the message as an SMS by default, when I have another device using iMessage (such as MacBook) logged in.
This feature is a problem for me, bottom line, in that iMessage strong arms the consumer (me) into having to buy a data plan that they either do not want, or do not need."

He can recite each sentence in Nursery song. He can say Hi how are you? and answer I am good thanks. He understand and do respond to a question with couple words. He can repeat a whole sentence after me. Many times I don't know if he is talking Thai or English to me. He can sing a few nursery songs but not really clear on pronunciation. Mostly he is a parrot at the moment. He copies what I and my husband say. If he speaks it would be a borken sentences. But if I said a whole sentence to him, he manages to say the whole thing back. However, every 2-4 weeks I notice some progression in words and sentences. Is he on the right track?
jingjo, your LO is exactly like my LO. My LO is 37 months old, we speak 3 languages at home. He too can say Hi, Goodmorning, How are you? Answer I am fine. Ask for things. He changes in between the languages randomly. The people around me are so encouraging as they tell me it is expected and normal especially coz of many languages and being an only child around adults. He also sometimes tells me stories in a language I cannot understand. I don't think there is need to worry.
If he needs therapy, please get him it! I have a few friends w/children that have had different forms of therapy. It helps them so much! My SIL has a son that'll be 4 in April. She had her son evaluated a year and a half ago because he was 2 1/2 & said 5 words. The therapist said he needed speech therapy & that they'd monitor him for other things during therapy. That was too embarrassing & too much of a hassle for my SIL. She never set up therapy for him. He's just now starting to form sentences and his pronunciation is very very hard to understand. I feel horrible for him! He has no control over it. So sad and unfair.

OP, does your child only repeat your words when you ask him to or does he do it at random as well?
If you are seeing really strong progression in his speech, then he is probably going to catch up with his peers soon. But I am a huge advocate for EI (I work in EI ) and believe that any child is better off having an evaluation than not. Where do you live? In most areas, by 36 months you can contact your school district and ask for a developmental or speech evaluation and they must oblige. It may take a while to get an appointment since many areas are under-funded, but it will happen and having an assessment will let you knwo exactly where he stands.

Our son is a late talker as well, his speech is coming slowly but surely. sometimes he would pronounce his words in such a way that it makes it a bit difficult to understand, once we catch on, though, we encourage him to repeat the same thing after us.
I understood my husband was a very late talker so I am attributing this delay to that.
We will continue to work with him.

However, kids who needed early intervention but didn't get ut have a really hard time catching up in many cases. Speech & Language are a HUGE part of literacy which of course impacts all areas of learning.
Plus as a PP noted the school district is responsible for evaluating him. With the limited resources many districts have, they won't put him in therapy unless he has a moderate or severe problem.

Cubist Pharmaceuticals To Acquire Trius Therapeutics
Cubist Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: CBST) and Trius Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSRX) today announced that they have signed a definitive agreement under which Cubist will acquire all outstanding shares of Trius for $13.50 per share in cash or approximately $707 million on a fully diluted basis. In addition to the upfront cash payment, each Trius stockholder will receive one Contingent Value Right (CVR), entitling the holder to receive an additional cash payment of up to $2.00 for each share they own if certain commercial sales milestones are achieved. The total transaction is valued at up to $818 million on a fully diluted basis. The transaction has been approved by the Boards of Directors of both companies. The companies' expectation is to close the transaction later this year, subject to required regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. Cubist will host a conference call and webcast today at 6:00 p.m. ET (details below). Trius brings to Cubist a highly complementary, late-stage antibiotic candidate, tedizolid phosphate (TR-701), as well as several pre-clinical antibiotic programs. Tedizolid phosphate is an IV and orally administered second generation oxazolidinone in development for the potential treatment of certain Gram-positive infections, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Tedizolid phosphate met all primary and secondary endpoints in two Phase 3 clinical trials studying patients with acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI). Trius has partnered with Bayer Pharma AG for the development and commercialization of tedizolid phosphate outside of the U.S., Canada and the European Union. It is currently expected that a New Drug Application for tedizolid phosphate seeking approval for an indication in ABSSSI will be submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) during the second half of 2013 and a Marketing Authorization Application will be submitted to the European Medicines Agency in the first half of 2014."Trius is a tremendous strategic fit with Cubist that supports our Building Blocks of Growth long-range goals while extending our global leadership in the acute care environment," said Cubist Chief Executive Officer Michael Bonney. "Tedizolid is an exciting late-stage antibiotic candidate that we believe has the potential to be an important new tool in the infectious disease community's battle against resistant infections caused by MRSA. We have a high regard for the entire Trius team and the excellent work they have done with the tedizolid program and their promising discovery programs. We believe our extensive clinical, regulatory, and commercial experience in acute care will allow us to complement this team's work and maximize the potential for tedizolid while driving substantial near and long-term benefits for hospitals, patients and shareholders alike." "As a recognized leader in acute care, we believe Cubist is best-positioned to maximize tedizolid's potential to patients in the U.S. and other world regions," said Jeffrey Stein, Ph.D., President and CEO of Trius. "This transaction culminates years of intense work by the Trius team to achieve this outcome, and our shareholders are being rewarded for their involvement and support of the company."

Cloyster can't Shell Smash sweep and Rapid Spin at once; this would be too suicidal, as its current set has a serious case of 4-moveslot syndrome. Hydro Pump or Razor Shell is too important to give up as a secondary STAB (and give Cloyster a way to hit most Steels neutrally).
Breloom's EV spread should be 12 HP/252 Atk/244 Spe to give it a Poison Heal number (an HP stat divisible by 8)
If you're investing into Ferrothorn's Attack, take some EVs out of its Defense rather than from HP (252 HP/24 Atk/232 Def).
Gliscor needs a speedier and more defensive spread to help it take hits while outspeeding neutral base 90s (Impish nature with 248 HP/24 Def/232 Spe). It's also meant to stall out opponents, not attack directly, so Ice Fang can be dropped for Toxic.
Never, ever, significantly invest in a defensive stat unless you max out HP first, as the bulk would be too inefficient. Your current Heatran set is meant to defend, not to sweep, so Earth Power isn't really needed, and a status move can go in its place. Your EV spread should be 248 HP/252 SDef/8 Spe.

Counter-terrorism detectives said they had begun a criminal investigation following a preliminary examination of the material taken from David Miranda, partner of American journalist Glenn Greenwald, after he was held for nine hours at London's Heathrow Airport on Sunday.
"Initial examination of material seized has identified highly sensitive material, the disclosure of which could put lives at risk," London's Metropolitan Police said in a statement.

We all had an amazing holiday at BH Mallorca. I could not fault the hotel itself, loads of sun beds, rooms were lovely and big, clean throughout and great security.
You have a choice of 3 pools, this made a huge difference to us as when we wanted to just relax we went to the calm pool and then we wanted to party we went to the party pool. Slides are amazing, although very scary for some of us.
Food was of high quality, there was something for everyone and no complaints from our group of 9. There was only 1 niggle which was one particular bar staff at the stage bar, who was so rude and moody everyday.

We went for the self catering option as we knew we would be spending most of our time outdoors. The swimming pools and the water park were the highlights of my holiday as I enjoyed them quite a lot. The room was great for the four of us and the beds were very comfortable. And it was also at a very good price.

The hotel was the place to stay with entertainment like; people playing drums, girl dancing and also men dancers every day during the day and then concerts twice a week which would cost 35 euro if you were not staying in the hotel. The hotel itself is massive, to get from one side to the other would take a long time, well longer than any normal hotel would. The downfall to this hotel however is the all inclusive startig at 11am and finishing at 8pm and when there is a concert on it actually finishes at 7pm which no one is informed of. The queue to get the drinks is silly long and only one per person however, if you wanted water and a drink they do let this go sometimes. Another bad thing about the hotel is that on checking out day you must be out your room at 11am just like most places however once checked out your actually told to leave the resort meaning you can't stay there 'til your transfer which is ridiculous! So we had to pay 12.50 euro to stay for the day even though we paid for a week all inclusive we still had to pay on our last day. If you lost your room key it's 10 euro and your wristband is a price too, however this didn't happen to me so I don't know the price of this.
Overall I had a great experience apart from a few things about the hotel I would definitely book with sunshine.co.uk as the price I paid for for this hotel was crazy good compared to any other websites I looked on.

Great hotel. We stayed 4th - 8th May 2015. This is an adults only hotel, it is more for the 18 - 30 young lively but will also suit 30 plus age group. We stayed in the island beach side of the hotel in block 11, room 205. Check - in was quick and simple, but some guest arriving had a long wait. The rooms were nicely decorated and clean, all rooms had air con, good towels, walk-in shower, uk tv channels, fridge, a safe (there was a 5 euro daily charge for the safe). The hotel had only been open for 2 days so there were still a few minor jobs that where getting carried out. The hotel has a water park with slides etc, plenty of sun loungers, music playing around the pools, 4 good sized pool (not heated, only by the sun) and there was at least 5 bars around the pool areas. The hotel is All Inclusive and the food was of a good standard, e.g. continental breakfast served before 11am, then after 11am there was a full English breakfast, and throughout the day there was plenty of other food to choose from. The All inclusive only runs from 11am - 8pm, there was plenty of alcoholic drinks and soft drinks to choose from. On selected dates the hotel also offers free All inclusive drinks from 8pm to 12 midnight to Baywatch and Reflex bar in the BCM square and from 12 midnight to 4am free entrance and free All inclusive drinks into Millennium club and BCM night club which is really good value. The hotel was part of the BCM Night club and it was a 2 minute walk from the club and the BCM square. The beach and Magaluf strip was a 5 minute walk from the hotel. Overall this hotel was great, I was expecting it to be full of young kids e.g 18 yr olds but it was a good mixed aged group. I would definitely stay here again.

Wicked hotel, great pool, great events. Only down side is that you can't have people who aren't staying at the hotel come in.

Amazing atmosphere, friendly staff, brilliant events. Only criticism was ants everywhere in the room! Apart from that, fantastic stay.

Mallorca Rocks was brilliant. Great location for BCM. Clean and tidy apartments. Good music played and decent sized pools. Food places and shop on site. Reasonable prices. If I were to go back to Magaluf I'd want to stay here again.

The entertainment was amazing at the hotel and the reps were brilliant at welcoming us to the hotel, however the room let it down. The toilet seat was broken, the flush stopped working and the bathroom roof was leaking (they did fix these during the week). Also when we got there the fridge had defrosted and there was a lot of water we had to clean up. The pool area was great and there is a lot of room for everyone as well as reasonable food and drink on offer. The location of hotel was just right it was just around the corner from the BCM sq and 5/10 min walk from the main strip.

The hotel was clean and although the security guards and poolside staff could be a little rude they kept the poolside clean throughout the day. The maids attended the room and changed the towels and provided new toilet rolls on a regular basis.

Great events, benefits of staying in hotel (ie performances and pool party) were excellent though when you get in at 7 and the DJ starts playing by the pool at 10 doesn't help you get your 6 hours sleep you are looking for. No air con, we had to hire for an additional 70 euro plus the worst thing was we were not allowed to bring "guests" back to our room which made "socialising" after party hours difficult.

Me and 5 others got sent from Mallorca Rocks Hotel to the apartments and then had to make a 30 euro deposit each. Overall the hotel was average, the only bad thing I can say bad about Mallorca Rocks is they're not very organised.

The rooms were kept very clean. The staff were always available to help with anything. Good location close to the strip, restaurants and the beach. Sometimes it seemed like there weren't enough sun loungers for the amount of people that wanted them, around the pool seemed very crowded at times during the day.
