Silver Linings Playbook Movie Quotes
"Silver Linings Playbook" movie quotes follow the story of two lost souls looking for that silver lining as they attempt to regain control over their lives. The romantic comedy-drama was adapted from the novel of the same name by Matthew Quick into a screenplay by David O. Russell. Russel also directs the film which premiered first at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival prior to opening on November 21, 2012. It went on to receive numerous award nominations including consideration for the Best Picture honor at the Academy Awards.
In "Silver Linings Playbook," Pat Solitano (Bradley Cooper) returns to live with his parents (Robert De Niro and Jacki Weaver) after a stay in a mental institution following an incident in which he snapped following finding his wife in the shower of their home with another man. Pat tries his best to regain his physical and mental health in an effort to win back his wife, Nikki, however she has clearly moved on. Still dealing with some mental struggles and seeing a therapist, Pat is introduced to Tiffany (Jennier Lawrence), a woman dealing with her own issues following the sudden death of her husband.
Pat and Tiffany are initially short with each other and clash but soon realize that they have more in common than they thought. As a favor to a friend, Tiffany agrees to help Pat get his wife back but only on the condition that Pat helps her in a dancing event that requires two people. As they train together, the pair begin to bond in ways they didn't see coming exposing silver linings that they never expected. Chris Tucker, Anupam Kher, John Ortiz and Julia Stiles co-star in the film.
In addition to "Silver Linings Playbook," dozens of other great movies were in theaters at the same time including "Skyfall," "Lincoln," "Flight," "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2," "Anna Karenina," "This Must Be the Place," "Cloud Atlas," "Wreck-It Ralph," "Nobody Walks," "The Sessions," "Silent Hill: Revelation 3D," "Chasing Mavericks," "Alex Cross," "Smashed," "Sinister," "Seven Psychopaths," "Argo," and "Looper."

Meds and Social Skillsv
Tiffany: "What meds are you on?"
Pat: "Me? None. I used to be on Lithium and Seroquel and Abilify but I don't take them anymore, no. They make me foggy and they also make me bloated."
Tiffany: "Yeah, I was on Xanax and Effexor but I agree, I wasn't as sharp so I stopped."
Pat: "You ever take Klonopin?"
Tiffany: "Klonopin, yeah!"
Pat: "Right?!"
Tiffany: "Jesus!"
Pat: "What day is it?"
Tiffany: "Ha ha"
Pat: "What about Trazodone?"
Tiffany: "Trazodone?"
Pat: "What, it flattens you out. I mean, you are done. It takes the light right out of your eyes."
Tiffany: "Yeah it does... I'm tired, I want to go."
Veronica: "No, no, no, no, no, we haven't even finished the salad yet or the duck. I made the fire and ice cake."
Tiffany: "I said I'm tired. Are you going to walk me home or what?" Pat: "You mean me?"
Tiffany: "Yeah, you. Are you going to walk me home?"
Pat: "You have poor social skills. You have a problem."
Tiffany: "I have a problem? You say more inappropriate things than appropriate things. You scare people."
Pat: "I tell the truth. You're mean."
After an awkward meeting, dinner is equally as strange between Pat and Tiffany as they discuss various mood-atering drugs they've taken in the past. Though Pat and Tiffany clash slightly at first, this interaction could just be the beginning of something special.

Not a Datev
Tiffany: "Why did you order Raisin Bran?"
Pat: "Why did you order tea?"
Tiffany: "Because you ordered Raisin Bran."
Pat: "I ordered Raisin Bran because I didn't want any mistaking it for a date."
Tiffany: "It can still be a date if you order Raisin Bran."
Pat: "It's not a date... So how's your thing going? Your dancing thing"
Tiffany: "It's good. How's your restraining order going?"
Pat: "I wouldn't exactly call the restraining order my thing but getting back with Nikki is and I'm doing pretty well, except for a minor incident at the doctor's office."
Tiffany: "And the so-called incident with the weights"
Pat: "Yeah, that was a thing with my parents. How'd you lose your job?"
Tiffany: "By having sex with everybody in the office"
Pat: "Everybody?"
Tiffany: "I was very depressed after Tommy died. It was a lot of people."
Pat: "Well you don't have to talk about it."
Tiffany: "Thanks"
Pat: "How many were there?"
Tiffany: "Eleven"
Pat: "Wow"
Tiffany: "I know."
Pat: "I'm not going to talk about it anymore."
Tiffany: "Okay"
Pat: "Can I ask you one more question? Were there any women?"
Tiffany: "Yes"
Pat: "Really?"
Tiffany: "Yes"
Pat: "What was that like?"
Tiffany: "Hot"
Pat: "Jesus Christ. Was it like an older woman, a sexy teacher trying to seduce her?"
Tiffany: "Made me sit on her lap and do things? Yeah"
Pat: "What? You sat on her lap? She told you what to do?"
Tiffany: "Mmmhmm"
Pat: "Oh my god"
After making it perfectly clear (via the choice of his food order) that they are not on a date, Pat gets a bit turned on when Tiffany describes in detail the very personal reason she was fired from her last job.
- 3+ 12- 0
Can You Forgive?
Tiffany: "I was a slut. There will always be a part of me that is dirty and sloppy, but I like that, just like all the other parts of myself. I can forgive. Can you say the same for yourself, f***er? Can you forgive? Are you capable of that?"
When prodded by Pat about her promiscuous way of dealing with her husband's death, Tiffany snaps and goes off on Pat about his own problems. She forces him to think about how he is dealing with his stresses and if his method is any better than hers.
- 4+ 11- 0
Dead Husband
Tiffany: "Can we get through one f***ing conversation without you reminding me that my god**** husband's dead?"
As much as he is urged not to talk about Tiffany's dead husband, Pat just cannot drop the subject until he learns exactly what happened. Clearly, this annoys Tiffany to no end.
- 5+ 10- 0
Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me
Tiffany: "You know, for a while, I thought you were the best thing that ever happened to me. But now I'm starting to think you're the worst."
Pat: "Of course you do. Come on, let's go dance."
Tiffany, now in love with Pat, is hurt when she thinks Pat is still hung up on his wife, Nikki, so Tiffany gets drunk, yells at Pat and resists performing in the dance competition. Pat however gets her back in line.
- 6+ 23- 3
Tiffany and Tommyv
Ronnie: "Tiffany's coming over."
Pat: "What happened to Tommy?"
Ronnie: "He died. Don't bring it up... Tiffany, this is Pat."
Pat: "You look nice."
Tiffany: "Thank you"
Pat: "I'm not flirting with you."
Tiffany: "Oh, I didn't think you were."
Pat: "Just practicing... How'd Tommy die?"
Ronnie: "Oh!"
Oh Pat, that's just the opposite of what you were supposed to say. Then again, this awkward meeting might just show Tiffany that like her, you have some issues as well.
- 7+ 24- 6
Ernest Hemingwayv
Pat: "What the?! Let me just break it down for you guys. This whole time you're rooting for this Hemingway guy to survive the war and to be with the woman that he loves, Catherine Barkley."
Dolores: "It's four o'clock in the morning, Pat."
Pat: "And he does, he does, he survives the war after getting blown up. He survives it and he escapes to Switzerland with Catherine. You think he ends it there? No! She dies, dad! I mean, the world's hard enough as it is, guys. Can't someone say, hey let's be positive? Let's have a good ending to the story?"
Dolores: "Pat, you owe us an apology."
Pat: "Mom, I can't, for what, I can't apologize. I'm not going to apologize for this. You know what I will do? I will apologize on behalf of Ernest Hemingway because that's who's to blame here."
Pat Sr.: "Yeah, have Ernest Hemingway call us and apologize to us too."
After reading "A Farewell to Arms," Pat barges into his parents' bedroom in the middle of the night to rant about the book. Though he's clearly bothered by how the novel played out, his folks are not wanting to hear of this, at least not at that early morning hour.

A Shot at A Silver Liningv
Pat: "I'm ready! I'm motivated, I don't feel so angry all the time."

Pat: "I hate my illness and I want to control it. This is what I believe to be true: You have to do everything you can and if you stay positive you have a shot at a silver lining."
Either saying what the doctor wants to hear or truly happy, Pat explains his new outlook on life in that if you stay positive you can turn your life around.
- 9+ 15- 2

- 12+ 13- 6

Speaking with his therapist, Pat explains his incident. In his eyes, his problem is simple. He caught his wife with another man and snapped. To Pat, he doesn't have an illness, simply only reacted in the situation he was given.
- 14+ 8- 3
For Nikkiv

Nikki's Syllabus
Pat: "Mom, can we stop at the library? I want to read Nikki's entire high school syllabus."

Dolores: "You're very happy."
Pat: "I'm happy."
Pat Sr.: "No, you're so up, up, up."
Pat: "Isn't that a good thing?"
Pat Sr.: "No, you're just up, up, up, up, I don't know what that is. Are you taking the proper dosage of your medication?"
Pat: "Am I taking the right dose? Of course I am"
Pat Sr.: "Okay, are you taking maybe a little bit too many or something?"
Pat: "No, if I was taking that I'd be on the floor, dad."
Only out of concern for Pat's well being, father Pat Sr. asks if everything is okay with Pat as he's been overly happy lately. Pat Sr. suspects it's something related to Pat's medications but later notices that there is a lady involved.

Nikki's Going to Be There
Tiffany: "We have to tell him Nikki's going to be there."

- 20+ 6- 3
We're Going to Be Together
Pat: "Nikki's waiting for me to get in shape and get my life back together. Then we're going to be together."
As part of his recovery, Pat has put together a plan to get his life back on track and get his wife back. This goal has him motivated to change from the better, though he's focused more on Nikki than his own well being.

High school students get a life lesson on finances
The school board approved the course Tuesday. The timing couldn't be more fitting.
Trillions of dollars have been lost in the stock market in recent weeks, and banks across the country have resisted extending credit to commercial borrowers and would-be homeowners.
At the same time, San Diego administrators point to the $2.56 trillion in consumer debt that Americans currently carry, according to the Federal Reserve Board. By contrast, the nation's savings rate, which exceeded 8 percent of disposable income in 1968, stood at 0.4 percent at the end of the first quarter of this year, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
Many Americans find themselves in over their heads. The number filing for consumer bankruptcy increased by nearly 40 percent in 2007, according to the American Bankruptcy Institute.
San Diego Unified's new personal finance class is aimed as much at educating students as it is at preventing repeats of the mistakes made by their parents'generation.
Many of the students who have taken the course have kept in touch with teachers since graduating from high school. They send e-mails or stop by campus to brag about the income tax forms they filed on their own or the loan they negotiated.
The district wants to track the success of the program through test scores and report-card grades.
The best sign of the program's success would come when students maintain their finances and contribute to the financial health of the region and country, said Gregg, the banker who helped write the lessons.
"In the beginning, people underestimated the fact that these kids would be interested in this," Gregg said. "The real measure will be how they use the information."

Pension board moves forward with loan plan
Middle market companies would get access to capital from fund
The county pension fund is moving forward with a proposal to use its $9 billion portfolio to make loans as high as $200 million available for middle-market companies that lack access to traditional capital.
The San Diego County Employees Retirement Association board discussed the proposal on Thursday and gave the green light for its outside portfolio strategist to prepare recommendations for managers to handle such a loan program.
The strategist, Lee Partridge of Houston, told trustees that with expected net returns that could surpass 10 percent, the opportunity is too good to pass up.
"There's a supply and demand imbalance between capital and the need for capital," he said. "We think this is a pretty attractive risk-reward trade-off."
Following a direct-lending overview presented by the board's general consultant, Partridge told trustees he would move forward.
"We will be presenting managers if the board likes this space and the story behind it," he said.
According to consultant Satya Kumar of Hewitt Ennis Knupp, the plan is to hire managers to evaluate loan applications from companies in need of $20 million to $200 million for five to seven years.
Should the county pension fund lend money to companies that otherwise lack access to capital?
Yes 29% (21)
No 71% (51)
72 total votes.
The loans would be approved and serviced by the outside managers, who would target firms that agree to floating interest rates from 5.75 to 8.5 percent. Fees, prepayment penalties and loan modifications also would boost the net returns, Kumar said.
"When you add all these up, you are looking at high single-digits to low double-digits to the investor," he said.
Trustees were told there is a growing market in such direct lending because banks have increasingly limited loans to those borrowers with higher credit ratings. In recent years, 85 percent of middle-market lenders have exited the market, Kumar said.
Retirement board members raised some questions about why the loans would be a good investment for a pension fund if banks have demurred.
"What do they know that we don't?" asked Trustee Dan McAllister, who serves on the pension board because he is the elected county treasurer. "Why would this make a good play for us?"
Kumar said it's not so much the market as the regulation thereof that has caused banks to shy away.
"A lot of this has to do with structural issues and regulatory issues that have moved a lot of the players out of the marketplace," Kumar said.
Duke K. Bristow, a finance professor at the Marshall School of Business at the University of Southern California, said pension funds may be at a disadvantage to traditional lenders when it comes to making loans.
Banks are expert at writing terms that allow them to closely monitor borrowers and exercise provisions for calling in a note if, for example, revenues decline, he said.
"The question is, are the people who are stepping into those loans in the same position (as banks) to judge the quality and monitor the loan," Bristow said. "It's not clear to me that they are."
Pension managers are constantly and rightfully on the hunt for the next success story in institutional investing, Bristow said.
In the 1980s, after the U.S. Department of Labor ruled that pensions could devote a small portion of assets to such investments, many funds turned to venture capital as a way to generate profits. It was controversial and initially hugely lucrative.
"That was a huge boon for San Diego, for California, for the U.S. and for the world," Bristow said. "Now decades later, those same venture capital funds are struggling to repeat these earlier successes — so pension managers are looking to direct lending. Buyer beware."
Joe Nation, a former state lawmaker who directs a public policy program for graduate students at Stanford University, said pension funds that buy into direct-lending pools are "effectively gambling."

5 Top Home Remedies For Peeling Fingernails
Peeling fingernails is a common nail problem, which can cause nails to split and peel off easily. Onycholysis, or peeling fingernail condition, in turn increases the risk of painful injuries and / or infection to the nail bed. The problem of peeling fingernails can be due to numerous medical and non-medical reasons. Long term yeast infection, psoriasis and fungal infections can all cause fingernails to split, peel and crumble completely.
Like our skin, fingernails also require adequate amounts of moisture to remain healthy and strong. Excessive exposure to chlorinated water and / or cleaning agents can dry out the natural moisture content of the nails. Lack of moisture can initiate or aggravate the problem of peeling fingernails. Buffing the nails excessively or changing nail paint frequently, can also weaken fingernails and cause them to peel off. However, a few minutes of dedicated care and some simple home remedies, is all it takes to control the problem of peeling fingernails.
Home Remedies For Peeling Fingernails
Apply Coconut Oil
As mentioned earlier, one of the primary reasons for peeling fingernails is the lack of moisture. Extra virgin olive oil can inject much needed moisture to dry, peeling fingernails. For added benefit, you can prick a soft gel Vitamin E capsule, and add its contents to the coconut oil. Use a clean cotton ball to apply the coconut oil and vitamin E mixture on the nails. Allow the coconut oil to remain on the nails for ten to fifteen minutes. Remove the excess oil with cotton wool dipped in luke warm water.

Use Petroleum Jelly
Women who tend to change their nail paint frequently may encounter the problem of peeling nails. One of the best ways to prevent this common nail problem, without compromising on your desire to keep up with latest trends in nail polish is to massage the nails with petroleum jelly frequently. After removing the nail polish, take a pea sized amount of petroleum jelly and work it into the finger nails. Ideally, you should leave the petroleum jelly on your nails overnight and wash it off in the morning with luke warm water.
Apply Olive Oil
Just as hot oil massage deep conditions and nourishes hair, so also immersing your fingernails in warm oil can control the problem of peeling nails. Lightly warm a couple of tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Transfer the warm oil into a shallow glass bowl. Immerse fingernails in the warm olive oil for fifteen to twenty minutes. You can also incorporate a couple of drops of castor oil to the warm olive oil for added benefit.
Apply Mint Juice
The medicinal properties of mint juice can help to effectively control the problem of peeling fingernails. Extract the juice of some fresh mint leaves. Dip a clean cotton ball in the freshly extracted mint juice. Apply the mint juice on the fingernails evenly. Allow the mint juice to remain on the nails overnight. In the morning wash off the mint juice with cold water.
Use Egg Yolk
A natural way to strengthen weak fingernails and prevent them from peeling is to dip the nails in an egg yolk mixture. Combine the yolks of two eggs with a quarter cup of whole cream milk. Transfer the egg yolk and milk mixture into a shallow glass bowl.
Immerse your fingernails in this mixture for ten to fifteen minutes. Wash off the excess mixture with warm water.

Find all the symmetries of the $ℤ\subset ℝ$.
I'm not sure what is meant with this. My frist thought was that every bijection $ℤ→ℤ$ is a symmetry of $ℤ$.
My second thought was that if I look at $ℤ$ as point on the real line, then many bijections would screw up the distance between points. Then I would say that the set of symmetries contains all the translation: $x↦x+a$ and the reflections in a point $a∈ℤ$, which gives, $x↦a-(x-a)$.

Wharton's MBA curriculum offers depth, breadth, and options. The curriculum emphasizes an intensive, flexible core in general management, plus the depth of 18 majors and breadth of nearly 200 electives.
You will customize your learning by selecting a course pathway through content areas based on your education, career experience, and goals — not just through selection of your electives and majors, but through choices in the core.
Read a progress report on how Wharton is empowering students to choose their own pathway
Offered as quarter- or semester-long courses, the core curriculum covers traditional management disciplines- with an emphasis on analytical rigor — accounting, finance, marketing, management, operations, statistics, and microeconomics — as well as the leadership, ethics, and communication skills necessary for leadership. This series of courses provides a rigorous grounding for the individualized coursework that follows.
Wharton's core includes nine credit units, distributed in two parts:
- Fixed Core: 3.5 credit units fixed with your cohort.
- Flexible Core: 5.5 credit units you choose to define your own path.
Elective Curriculum
Wharton's elective curriculum, 10 credit units, provides depth and breadth across traditional and nontraditional areas of management education.
Your Wharton MBA begins with Pre-Term. With a three-week immersion, Pre-Term sets you up for a strong academic experience and ensures that everyone in your diverse incoming class begins from a common knowledge base. Pre-Term also provides the platform upon which you will develop your curriculum plan while bonding with new classmates and building your own sense of community and school pride.
Pre-Term is required. It includes coursework, a Learning Team experience, and the chance to explore Philadelphia and build relationships with your cluster and other classmates.
You will be introduced to your Learning Team at a Learning Team Retreat in an environment free of distraction. This initiates the process of strong team formation. The Teams complete the Management 610: Foundations of Teamwork and Leadership course, and continue the collaboration throughout the fixed core.
Other elements of Pre-Term include MBA Convocation, International Student Orientation, and an Accelerated Corporate Finance Prep Course for students who need it.
The first year is intense. You will begin by moving through key courses with your learning team — a group of five or six classmates with whom you will work closely on projects. Then, you'll select from many options as you branch out in the second half of First Year and beyond. You'll have a choice of content areas for some core courses and will start to pick your electives. In addition, you will become involved in co-curricular and extracurricular activities that tie into the courses you choose.
Here is a Sample of a First Year Schedule
You will take any remaining core requirements, drill deeper within the wide range of electives, and develop one or more areas of expertise. For customized interests, students often partner with faculty and businesses on individual advanced student projects.
Pursuing More Stretch Experiences
- Lead a student conference
Each year, Wharton students plan conferences that attract influential international executives from the public and private sectors. These conferences help to make Wharton a vibrant international hub for the exchange of business knowledge.
- Participate in a second-year networking expo
Second-Year Networking Expos are open forums that offer employers early exposure to second-year students. Because second-year students often are more targeted in their job searches, the format of the Networking Expos focuses on direct student-employer interaction rather than broad informational presentations.
- Attend employer information sessions
Wharton typically hosts more than 150 employer information sessions each year. These sessions allow students to learn more about the cultures and opportunities of potential employers and specific industries through presentations by senior managers and recently hired associates.
- Go on a career trek
Career Treks are student-managed visits to companies in various U.S. and international cities for education and networking across all industries. Career Treks provide access to companies or divisions that may not recruit on campus, build industry knowledge, and foster a stronger job search network.

14 April 2011 - This month sees the Royal Wedding of HRH Prince William and Catherine Middleton at Westminster Abbey.
Although it is currently too early to provide a detailed forecast for the day itself, the Met Office has taken a look back at historical data for the 29 April and previous Royal Wedding days.
Spring time can bring a variety of weather types to the UK. These can range from the warm and sunny to the cool, dull and wet. In 1994 London saw temperatures reach 23.4 °C, but in 2004 temperatures struggled to reach 10 °C.
With celebrations taking place across the country, and thousands of people expected to line the streets of London, everyone wants to know what the weather will be like on the day.
The Met Office provides a general outlook out to 30 days and will provide more detailed forecasts up to 5 days before on our Royal Wedding forecast page.

I spent twenty minutes last Sunday afternoon on a mad dash through my local Target, looking for Valentines for my kids to give out to their classmates. For the record, running through Target like you're a contestant on Supermarket Sweep, with your husband chasing after you and yelling things like, "are you done yet? The Super Bowl starts in twenty minutes. Are you done yet?" is not all that conducive to a pleasant and efficient shopping experience. But nonetheless, I escaped with several dozen bags of candy, some cellophane-ish baggies with red twist ties, two packs of make-your-own Valentines for the girls in her class, and another pack of pre-made, Indiana Jones Valentines for the boys. And we still arrived at my mother-in-law's with three minutes to spare before kickoff. [Insert double fist pump here].
While my husband and the other guys watched the game and pounded their chests and acted like guys, my daughter and I spread out on the dining room table to assemble the make-your-own Valentines for her girlfriends. If you read my post last year [0], you might recall that I think Valentine's Day is Stupid with a capital S. To summarize, I think it is Stupid to a) spend twice the amount of money on flowers and dinner as these things cost on any other day of the year, and b) give your children copious amounts of candy that will rot their teeth, just so that your spouse/children will know that you love them. May I suggest that you tell your spouse/children that you love them on a daily basis, and do away with this holiday entirely, as I have. Well, not entirely, because it seems that in order to be accepted into mainstream society, your child must present Valentines, accompanied by copious amounts of candy, to all of the children in his or her class. Which means that I must go to Target on Superbowl Sunday to buy them, because I learned last year that if you wait until the day before, all of the good Valentines are gone, and your child will then throw a huge tantrum about the fact that she has to dole out Sponge Bob Squarepants and Scooby Doo Valentines to all of her friends.
Which brings me back to where I left me and my daughter; sitting at my mother-in-law's dining room table during the Super Bowl, making pink and purple Valentines with all kinds of lovely, heart and flower embellishments, which very obviously did not come from the Target clearance aisle. She put a lot of thought into decorating these cards, my daughter did, and she tailored each one to the girl she was making it for. Pink is so and so's favorite color, so she got a pink card with pink rhinestones, and so and so loves purple and she loves hearts, so she got a purple card with lots of hearts on it, etcetera and so forth. But when we got to ______, a girl who shall remain nameless, my daughter stopped cold. I don't like her, she announced. This was true. She doesn't like her. Frankly, I don't like her either. This is the girl who decided that my daughter's favorite, pink, over-sized, movie star sunglasses were unacceptable, and somehow convinced several of the other girls in her class to not talk to my daughter if she wears them. So now she refuses to wear them, despite the fact that she is half vampire and hates having her eyes exposed to bright sunlight.
I know you don't like her, I answered. But you still have to give her a Valentine. If you give to one girl, you have to give to them all. She countered with the fact that all of the Valentines said things like, I Love You, and Best Friends, and Be Mine, and that if she gave this particular girl a card that said any of those things, it would be lying. At which point I gave her a quick synopsis of my opinion of Valentine's Day, which is, as you know, that it is Stupid, and for precisely this reason. Fake sentiments. Obligatory statements of love. I mean, why should kids have to give other kids cards expressing their fondness for each other? Isn't it a bit premature? Isn't it all a bit much? Happily, she agreed with me, but conceded that she did like getting the candy.
Okay, I said. Then you have a choice to make. You can either make this girl a card, and participate in Valentine's Day and all of its hypocrisy, or, you can opt out, and not give cards to anyone this year. You know, take a stand. Be an individual. Don't compromise your principles. Put your big pink sunglasses back on, damn it.
She thought about it for half a second. Nah, she said, reaching for a card that said, "I Heart U" on the cover, and writing ________'s name on it. That would just be weird, mom. Right, I answered. Of course it would.

Remember the trio of keys on the HTC T-Mobile G2 that don't really appear to have much function, what with their vague three dots and all? We're getting a better look at them now thanks to newcomer His and Her Android. The three dots are still there, and it's pretty apparent that these are going to be user-definable keys. But let's hope there's actually a function assigned to them by default. Because if there's anything new users love, it's having three buttons on their keyboard that don't actually do anything. One more pic after the break. [His and Her Android via TMo News]
Those three-dot buttons on the G2 keyboard? They're still three dots

I agree, I think it is for navigating the home screens.
A bit of a waste of keys IMO if thats true
He doesn't know how to use the three buttons.. hahaha..
so you're supposed to wipe your butt with the buttons?
We posted the info on these Quick Keys (and the Quick Keys app that comes with the G2 and controls them)over on AndroidGuys last week.
(Tried to add a link to the post, but yr commenting system said it'd be marked as spam.)
Especially after a nice evening out at Taco Bell.

Weller pottery was first made in 1872 in Fultonham, Ohio, but by 1882 Weller had moved to Zanesville, one of the main cities where pottery was made in Ohio. Hundreds of thousands of pieces of decorative art pottery and florist wares were made at Weller Pottery before it closed in 1948. It was a profitable pottery because its products were designed in the prevailing fashion and appealed to buyers. By the end of World War I, many pieces were being made in molds, then glazed in a variety of color combinations. Vases, wall pockets, jardinieres and other pieces were made to resemble real logs or frogs, and traditional vases were made with molded shapes that look like branches, animals, birds, flowers and even carved ivory. One very successful line, called "Woodcraft," was made from 1917 to 1928. Each piece resembled a real log or tree trunk with raised birds, animals or fruit as extra decoration. The colors added to the illusion of real wood. The pattern is popular with Weller collectors today. "Kovels'
Antiques & Collectibles Price Guide 2012" lists a 19-inch Woodcraft vase with a squirrel and owl for $960, an 8-inch wall pocket that looks like a branch with berries for $173 and a 14-inch tree trunk vase with an owl for $325.
Q: My husband inherited an unusual oak chair from his grandmother. Our children call it "the scary face chair" because the chair's back is a carved wooden face that does indeed look scary. A label on the bottom says "Made in Dayton, Ohio, by Stumps-Barnhardt." Please tell me how old this chair is and what it's worth.
A: Your chair is called a "North Wind chair," a style popular during the late Victorian era (1880-1900) into the early 20th century. The face, from folklore, was supposed to blow evil spirits away. Many U.S. companies made them. But take another look at the label on your chair. It says "Stomps-Burkhardt," not "Stumps-Barnhardt." Gustave Stomps and his brother Joseph founded a furniture manufacturing business, G. Stomps Brothers & Co., in Dayton in 1859. The company became G. Stomps & Bro. in 1869, then Stomps-Burkhardt Co. in 1890, when Richard Burkhardt was named vice president and general manager. The company closed in about 1928. Your chair was made during the 1890s. Today it would sell for close to $500 if it's in excellent and original condition.
Q: One of our sons found an interesting bottle in the woods near our cabin. It's a lovely green-blue color and is embossed "Dr. Kennedy's/Medical Discovery/Roxbury, Mass." We would like to know who Dr. Kennedy was, what the "medical discovery" was and when this bottle was made.
A: Donald Kennedy (1812-1889) was born in Scotland and immigrated to the United States in 1833. Kennedy apprenticed with a currier, a person who works with leather, and studied medicine in his spare time. He began selling his "Medical Discovery" in 1848. A newspaper ad in 1854 claimed it was "the greatest medical discovery of the age" and that it was "warranted to cure every kind of humor [related to body fluids]" except "thunder humor." It sold for $1 a bottle and probably contained a mixture of herbs and alcohol. Dr. Kennedy made several other patented medicines and became very wealthy. His son, Dr. David Kennedy, took over the business when Donald died, and he continued to sell the Medical Discovery until 1928. The value of your bottle in good condition with no stains is $100.
Q: Please help me learn more about an old piece of luggage I own. It's heavy, covered in burlap and has leather handles. The name tag and zippers are marked "Amelia Earhart Luggage." The manufacturer is the Baltimore Luggage Co. Was the suitcase made for her, or did she just endorse the brand?
A: Amelia Earhart (1897-1937) was a famous aviator who disappeared in 1937 while trying to fly around the world. Before that, she had made a lot of money promoting her career. One of the products she endorsed was a line of luggage that bore her name. She didn't design the luggage, but she did approve its construction and insisted that it be well-made. The brand continues to be sold today, although the Baltimore Luggage Co. is out of business. A lot of vintage Earhart luggage sells online.

Semiramis IIINile Cruises
Traveller reviews
"Just returned from a week on Semiramis 111. What a delight. The staff could not have been friendlier. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Meal times were interesting. If you are expecting English food all the time, don't bother going but if you are adventurous enough to try more local food you will love it. The boat was clean and the bedrooms were kept immaculate. The TV did not work well, but you are on a boat. Aerials do not stay in the same place on the water. The boat did not move until the end of the second day but this was to allow excursions to the East and West Banks of the Nile, not to wait for other passengers boarding as suggested by some. Excursions started early to take advantage of the cooler temperature. Don't be put off by what others have said. Go!!!!"

"Where to start well not like the cruise which did not start sailing for three days just sat there upon a dank area of the Nile and miles away from the nearest town,said they where waiting for more people to come aboard.
The smell was as tho it had just been taken out of dry dock for a year and spruced up quickly.
The whole experience on board was really weird, the crew ok but they are looking to make a few bucks.
The manager of the restaurant gave us a seat and that was it for the rest of the cruise we had to sit there for breakfast and dinner just like at school, very rude all way through trip. until last couple of days when we where getting back to the end and it was all smiles and happy chappy put some money in my hand etc.
Would I go again .maybe but not with the company we went with as looking at boats there are some tremendous ones and then basic ones which this one is."

"This ship was supposed to be 5 star but was more like a 3, it ha certainly seen better days and is in need of being refurbished. The TV didn't work properly and the fridge not at all. The fridge was replaced the day before we left and nothing was done about the TV. The cleaning staff were friendly which is more Ethan can be said for the Restaurant staff and one waiter was very abrupt, to the point I had to report him and was then asked to react my written statement, which I refused to do. There wa sno handrail up to the top deck which wasn't good for any disabled passengers. The food was ok but nothing wonderful and after dinner there was no access to any food, could have done with a vending machine for some snacks. Very little entertainment on board, not impressed."

"I have just returned from a cruise along the Nile on the Semiramis III and it was wonderful. The staff, the food, the hygiene was fabulous. All of our cabins were spotless clean and nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff on board. Our guide and the tours were out of this world his knowledge was second to none. I would certainly do this trip again on this boat and I would highly recommend this boat."

"This was supposed to be a holiday of a lifetime as we also celebrated our Silver Wedding Anniversary on this trip, the flight out was on a Thomson aircraft which was filthy and on top of this we were informed after boarding that the video equipment on the aircraft was not working (why were we not told before boarding so we could have got something to read as it was a 5 hour flight).
On landing at Luxor we transferred to the MS Semiramis docked just outside Luxor, we then found out the cruise didn't until the following night as more passengers were boarding the next day.
Once the cruise got underway the crew and the guides were excellent and it made up for the problems of the flight, the temples were out of this world the valley of the Kings and Queens were fascinating, on out arrival at Aswan we had booked to visit the temple at Abu Simbel, we could have gone by air but decided to travel overland by bus, although this was a 3 hour trip it was in my opinion the best way to travel as we got to see the sunrise over the desert and on the return journey we saw all the mirages in the desert.
from Aswan we sailed back down the Nile and watched the world go by, which was bliss after all the rushing about going to all the ancient sites, it was over 45degrees in the sun so everyone tended to stay in the shade, (a word of warning if you go to the alabaster or perfume factories beware the high prices , we found when we went to Cairo and Luxor markets we could buy the same things for less than half the price that was charged on the organised tours)
We transferred to the Sheraton Hotel on our arrival back in Luxor for the second week of the holiday and were very pleased with this hotel, the staff were so nice, the room was very comfortable, and although we didn't have a Nile view it didn't matter as we were by the pool most of the day.
My sister had arranged a balloon flight for our anniversary and I can recommend this to anyone who is thinking of doing it, to watch the sunrise over the desert while 3,000 feet in the air then looking down at Hapsetshut's temple looking so small takes your breath away.
It was Ramadan when we were there so at 6 pm every night the streets were empty and you could walk up the road to the restaurants without being pounced on by all and sundry.
We also booked up to go to Cairo to see the Pyramids as you can't go to Egypt and not see these wonderful monuments, but Cairo was just chaos it looked like an earthquake zone after a major tremor with some beautiful buildings in between.
Would we return to Egypt, yes as the country is so full of history, but we will be better prepared as to what to expect.
If you are thinking of going on a Nile cruise just do it but watch out for the prices in the factories that you are taken to.
Well all that's left for me to say is a great big thank you to Amro who took us to all the ancient sites on the cruise, what he didn't know wasn't worth knowing."
