Samsung Omnia HD is still Omnia HD in Italy. Promoted with X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Well, it looks like the whole "Samsung dropping Omnia HD name" story was a bit overblown.
Yes, it is true that Symbian based Omnia HD will be marketed as i8910 HD in some countries, in order not to confuse it with original Samsung Omnia that runs on Windows mobile. But Netherlands is the only country that we have some sort of confirmation about the drop of Omnia name so far. But we do not know which countries are affected by this.
However, we can now safely confirm that Samsung Omnia HD is keeping the "Omnia" part of it's name in Italy. Where Samsung is co-promoting the Omnia HD handset with a special launch event of X-Men Origins:Wolverine.
My guess is that quite a few other countries will be keeping Omnia HD name for Samsung i8910 as well.
At a closer look, this seems pretty consistent with overall Samsung marketing efforts in different regions and countries. Which probably is – let bigger local offices to decide on branding and positioning of their handsets in local markets.
This way Samsung can have a major Anycall regional brand in Asia, sell it's touchscreen phones under "Player" brand in France, "Tocco" in U.K. and "Touch" everywhere else in Europe, or have original Samsung Omnia to become Samsung WiTu in CIS and Samsung Player Addict in France. And become one of the most successful mobile vendors in Europe at the same time.
As for Omnia brand to be reserved only for Samsung Windows Mobile phones? I highly doubt it. If they are keeping Omnia on some Symbian S60 phones now, it would pretty hard for them to reverse the decision in the future.

my friend had joined and told me about it. I decided that since I had just started to practice the hobby of drawing, i'd join too and see what people thought of my art.
this was my first entry.
My first watcher ever was this nice girl
the first internet friend I made was she commented on my art and gave me a nice boost to keep posting drawings on here.
At first things went slow, I knew I was a beginner and people wouldn't really give much thought about my art pieces.
I joined the groups and submitted my art but things were still kinda slow.
it was probably slow because when I first began to draw I wasn't working too hard on my artwork or thinking about its value. So After a while I started to view other art and get inspired a little. I started to put more hard work into drawing to improve myself. I realized that art was more than just trying to make something that looked awesome. it was about expressing yourself and having a spanking good time.
I started to get more views and made more AWESOME internet pals. i kept working harder on my art works and kept looking at tutorials and other peoples art works to help me learn. I started posting more, I even started surfing DeviantArt more for art works to inspire me or other artists who deserve nice comment.
my story kinda runs along with those who befriended me on here, because without them I may have not learned something that I know now.
Now over my first year on here I know I have improved, and I know I have changed. But I still have a ways to go to reach my goal. And even though I still make mistakes or drawings I don't feel like I did too good on, I still post them. that's because I am proud of everything I made on here, from the successes to the mistakes. I'm proud of my pictures, which make up my story.
this has become this and this THIS and so much more to come!!
you should be proud too!!!
Whether your mistakes are now, later or have already happened! Without mistakes you cant learn and make a success!
Mistakes WILL happen! but don't feel ashamed!! feel P R O U D!!!
if you think about deleting your old art for good, think again!!! maybe one day you'll want to look back and see how much BETTER you've gotten.
ALSO!! if you delete your old works, how can you tell your story ???
Here are the old and new pictures from some awesome peoples galleries to show their improvement.
look at their pictures closely. Can you see how their styles have changed? How they draw, colour, shade, etc! It happens with everybody; advanced or beginner!
(these people have been great friends and supporters and/or have inspired me with their epic art)

Before leaving the garage of the No. 99, Roush slides his hand over the right front fender of the Taurus, feeling tiny ripples in the bodywork. He frowns and shakes his head. The fender repair might be OK for a Saturday night shootout on a short track, but this isn't a Saturday night, and Edwards won't be racing it on some obscure short track with fans collecting splinters from wooden bleachers.
This is the Nextel Cup at Daytona, and a win here in February is the one racing prize that has eluded Roush for 17 years. This is where the term "close enough" will never be.
That attitude made Roush one of the most successful team owners in racing, with titles in drag racing, sports cars, endurance cars, and in NASCAR's Cup, Busch and Craftsman Truck series. His unrelenting drive for perfection and focus on long-term goals earned him the final Winston Cup title in 2003 with Kenseth and the first Nextel Cup last year with Busch.
"Jack's incredibly focused," says Scott Pruett, who won three sports car championships for Roush Racing in the '80s.
"He's completely involved in racing 24-7-365," he says. "And to be successful with Jack, you have to have that same type of focus. I know that some people have a hard time sustaining that level of commitment."
"He is the most analytical car owner I've ever met," adds Gary Nelson, once among the most respected crewchiefs in NASCAR. Nelson later went on to be the series' director of competition and now heads the NASCAR Research and Development Center.
"He would just never take 'That's Racing' as an answer," Nelson says. "Jack always wanted to go deeper. He always asked one more question and pushed us for just one more answer."
It is what makes Jack, Jack.
"It's the way I am," Roush says. "I don't think I could be any different."
Jack's Closest CallHis headquarters just outside the Concord (North Carolina) Regional Airport near Lowe's Motor Speedway is "The House That Jack Built." It is a showplace of technology, efficiency, and style. The modern, landscaped complex of buildings would look at home in any high-tech campus in the nation.
The glass-walled entrance leads to a series of shops where everything is done in-house, from welding the first pieces of steel that forms a chassis to testing engines before they are installed. His fingerprints are on every part of a car's evolution.
"He's still a very intense racer," says Doug Richert, Biffle's crewchief. "He's still very much a hands-on owner. He doesn't get in the way, but he's there for you if you need him."
That's what he's doing this Friday morning at Daytona-being there if they need him. There was a moment when he was in danger of not being there at all.
It was in April 2002, on his 60th birthday, and Roush was on a solo flight to Talladega Superspeedway in a borrowed airplane. Roush, a veteran pilot, clipped some unmarked power lines and crashed into a lake in nearby Troy.
Roush was trapped inside the plane, upside down, still belted in. He had injuries to both legs, a concussion, and was unconscious.
Larry Hicks witnessed the crash, and the former Marine jumped into a boat and sped to the rescue. Hicks, trained in underwater rescue, dove into the lake three times before finally freeing Roush from the wreckage. He pulled Roush, barely alive, to the surface and pumped the water from his lungs.
Roush says the crash, and everything that happened to allow him to survive it, humbled him and gave him an appreciation and reverence for life.
It has not, however, diminished his enthusiasm for flying. He still pilots his own airplane and is actively involved in restoring and flying vintage aircraft, including a P51 Mustang named "Old Crow."
He stopped leasing 10 small planes and bought a pair of 727s, decorated with "Roush Air" and a stylized image of the owner on the tails, to ferry teams across the country.
Surviving the crash also caused Roush to redouble his efforts to make the most of every minute he has left.
The Martin FactorHe crosses to the garage that holds Martin's battered Ford. The engine bay is empty and the bodywork is unfinished. It isn't going to make Friday practice.
"We had a back-up car," Roush says. "It would have made sense from the time involved to pull it out of the trailer, but Mark really likes this car and it is what he wanted to drive on Sunday."
Casual fans have a hard time comprehending how two cars made in the same shop by the same crew using the same equipment can have different personalities. Even the fabricators can't tell why the racing DNA is different in each one, but they swear it is.
So do the drivers, and that's good enough for Roush. He told Pat Tryson, Martin's crewchief, to use whatever resources needed to put the car back together again.
By the time the chassis is ready for Sunday's race, Tryson figures there will be more than 120 man hours into its repair.
"We didn't have any options," Tryson says. "The back-up car could never match this one. It's a lot of time and effort, but it's what we do."
"Every one of the cars we have here is different," Roush says. "Some are high downforce, high drag; others are low drag, low downforce.
"Some are faster down the straight, others go through the corners quicker," he adds. "Hopefully it will all balance out when they run in traffic. The one we use all depends on what the driver likes, what he is most comfortable with."
The rebuilding effort on Martin's car is testament to how much Roush thinks of his driver. Martin has been a faithful soldier for 17 years, and the boss wants nothing less than to give his retiring star one last chance to win a championship.
"I don't think we'll see many more like Mark," Roush says. "I know Greg (Biffle) doesn't plan to race forever. Matt (Kenseth) doesn't want to either. I honestly don't think you'll see many new drivers staying around until they are 45. That era is probably gone.
"They'll get to the point where they've made enough money and the pressures from young drivers will be so great they'll want to leave."
Roush is concerned about some of the drivers coming to the series, those with more attitude than talent and experience.
"The owners have a responsibility to keep that in check," he says. "Sponsors certainly have a say in it, as does NASCAR. But ultimately, it is up to the team owner to decide what is acceptable."
Some drivers of the next generation are already in the Roush stable, being trained in the two teams in the Craftsman Truck Series and three in Busch.
Even his hiring practices are unique to Roush. About three years ago, he created what he calls "The Gong Show" that pits aspiring drivers against one another on a track none of them have driven before. It is a now-or-never, high-pressure environment that tests the driving mettle and communications skills under competition.
"It's different," says Roush, "but it works. I think an owner has a responsibility to help grow the sport. One of the things I'm proud of is the opportunity we've given young drivers to enter NASCAR and learn and mature with us."
Critics say Roush takes advantage of young, talented drivers by signing them to long-term contracts at apprentice level wages. Others say he's simply running his racing business as a business, and that's what keeps the teams busy and sponsors happy.
For Roush, it isn't always just about business. Sometimes hiring decisions are made based on factors that can't be quantified.
Dave Winston, engineer on Biffle's Taurus, says he applied for his job with Roush in the middle of the interstate.
"There was a tractor trailer jack-knifed in the middle of the highway and all the traffic was stopped," Winston says. "I got out of my car to see what was going on and I looked around and saw Jack Roush standing a few cars away.

The Bay County Humane Society was applauded last year when it changed to a "no-kill" shelter.
However, the move has come at a price.
Adoptions aren't as plentiful as they need to be to create more space, so the shelter has more animals than it can handle. Now, there is talk of getting rid of some ducks, bunnies and pigs to save cash.
A number of geese are right at home at the Bay County Humane Society, and fortunately they won't be leaving anytime soon.
However, that almost wasn't the case.
Humane society officials were considering moving some of the non-traditional pets out of the shelter to create more room, but they've decided against the plan.
Instead, they're embarking on a clean-up, paint-up, fix-up campaign.
Harfman says the shelter's ventilation is shot, ceiling tiles need replacing and drainage problems send back flow into kennels.
That means moving the dogs often, and money will be a problem.
The lack of funds is nothing to snore at, but humane society officials are purring with optimism.
"We're gonna' do as many adoptions as we can until then. We may be closed here or there, a week here, a couple of days there to do repainting, repairs and what not. We're gonna' stick with it. Nobody's going anywhere," officials said Monday. "Whether you wanna' sponsor a dog and pay for their spay/neuter surgery, if you wanna' come help us get our lift fixed, if you wanna' donate some paint, donate some paint brushes."
Adoptions will be a big help, but it costs money to make repairs and feed animals.
The organization needs donations, and if you just can't spare the cash, you can always volunteer your time, something as simple as walking a dog.
Adoptions are crucial for the no-kill shelter to succeed.
Someone dropped off a litter of lab puppies Monday morning. They could all use a good home.
To adopt or donate, just drop by the humane society shelter behind the Panama City Police Department on East 15th Street.

We are not a Bitcoin user.
We are quite certain that are analysis will contain errors of fact, use and execution.
However as we have studied money and people we will share some thoughts on Bitcoin, and its recent notoriety in the news with the seeming collapse of one of its significant exchanges.
The Definition of 'Currency' is that it is a generally accepted form of money, including coins and paper notes. Generally it is issued by a government and circulated within an economy. Used as a medium of exchange for goods and services, currency is the basis for trade. (Source Investopedia)
So the above definition shows us that currency allows for effective use for an exchange of goods – buying and selling of items from groceries, fuel to cars and housing.
How does currency retain its value?
Items other than currency can act as a store of value – stocks, bonds, commodities, land and a host of other items, from tools to sea shells can have this function. It is retention of value over a period of time that is critical. As long as a currency is relatively stable in its value, money – such as the US Dollar - is the most common and efficient store of value found in an economy.
The financial crisis of 2008 caused many to lose faith in the paper based currencies that caused the booms and busts of the recent economic cycles. Some predicted massive inflation and turned to commodities, in particular gold and its poorer cousin silver. But for many these stores of value were passé and more in tune in the past and not the future.
Academics and techno geeks came up with theoretical models for the creation of virtual currencies that would have economic basis that were not subject to the whims of governments or their central bankers.
They currencies would have the benefit of funds being transferred directly between users, without middlemen. This potential for anonymous transfers, upper limits on the number as there is no way a central bank can debase their value away by issuing more (thus causing inflation). Instead the limited units of these currencies, and Bitcoin in particular, would cause an increasing demand for Bitcoin, and therefore an increase in their value.
The attached chart shows the growth and swings in the value of Bitcoin.
Proponents argue that it is the 'value' of Bitcoin. They advocate that they are building a new currency for a new tomorrow. That the value is fully justified.
Others, including The Economist in an article written last November, wonder if a bubble has been forming.
Again, we are not a Bitcoin user. We have listened to the arguments. Have read some of the technical issues – which are beyond us, and most of the non-geek community and wonder why?
Why should this new currency have such value? Is it not overreached itself based on hype? Can Paypal or a plethora of alternatives allow for low cost, low friction transactions?
Anonymity? It seems that significant amounts and users, leave a trail like everyone else, that can be monitored and tracked – you just have to know what you are looking for.
It seems that people also forget "emptor cavete" or 'buyer beware.' This warning is not about doing commerce, so much of being aware of with whom one is doing business.
Scoundrels, cheats and outright criminals will flock to the 'benefits' and 'abuses' that these cyber currencies bring. They will be followed by well meaning politicos and regulators and then the party will be over.
Understanding what one is doing is very important - following into a 'mania' because your neighbor, or his cousin, or his hairdressers brother-in-law made money with Bitcoin, is a poor reason.

Is Too Cocky Possible And More
reader's commentDave,
I bought your book about a month ago and I have used some of your techniques successfully. There is this girl I like at my bank and who I thought liked me. The problem is I let her beauty get the best of me. I bought your book after I met her in the hopes to getting her.
Well, I used some charm by dropping a card through the drive-through with a note asking if she wanted to go out Sunday night. Let me tell you, she melted, and told me that no one has ever done that for her before. She told me to give her my number and that she would call me for Sunday night.
Well, Sunday rolled around and she didn't call, but the next time I saw her she turned red and greeted me with a smile and the apologetic excuse that she was away that weekend and she felt so bad she didn't call me. She bowed her head and said she was sorry, but she didn't say she would call.
I asked two of my friends, one of whom is a Cocky & Funny guy who has great success with girls. He said I should have accused her of "playing hard to get" and laughed at her excuse to get her thinking. My other friend, who seems like a Wuss at times but also gets laid quite often, said to be up-front — ask her what happened and suggest we try again.
What do you think I should do? Should I say anything? It's been a month, but I see her about three times a week at the bank. Plus, she is always telling the other tellers that she thinks the way I dress is hot — I'm an Armani guy — and that I am well-off because I drive a real nice SUV. My gut feeling is to move on. Thanks.
J in Ct.
david d. respondsWell, at this stage in the game, I'd recommend that you always get her number and e-mail. You be the one to e-mail and call her first. This way you can follow up, and she knows that you know how to get a hold of her.
The card and the asking her out on a "date" was probably a little too much, in my opinion. When you do things like this, you come across as overly interested. Better to say, "Hey, give me your e-mail," and then e-mail and suggest a cup of tea. Then, if tea goes well, suggest something else... and so on. Let things progress naturally, and don't come on so strong in the beginning.
Here's what I'd do if I were you: Next time you see her, say: "OK, you're playing hard-to-get, but it's not working on me." (Say it in a funny way.) "Give me your e-mail and number, and I'll call you in a few days." Then get her info, and wait a few days to call her. When you do reach her, tell her that she owes you a cup of tea for being flaky. And make her pay for it.
And make sure you don't act like a needy Wuss, OK?

The recent meetings in Geneva on Syria collapsed with no positive results. The UN mediator Lakhdar Brahimi in fact apologized to the Syrian people for the lack of progress.
Following the meetings, Secretary of State John Kerry blamed President Assad of Syria for "stonewalling" the talks and for trying to "win on the battlefield." The latter accusation is really curious. Did he expect President Assad not to try to win on the battlefield?
In response, Syria's foreign minister, Walid al-Moallem, blamed the US for the failure of the negotiations, saying the US tried to "create a very negative climate for dialogue in Geneva".
John Kerry also had harsh words for Russia. He said, "Russia needs to be a part of the solution and not be contributing so many more weapons and so much more aid that they are in fact enabling Assad to double down."
Well, the Russian foreign ministry issued the following response, "The [Syrian] opposition is divided. It was an unspoken arrangement that the US would try to bring the opposition to the table. What do we get instead? Before the talks, the Syrian National Coalition (SNC) loses its backbone, the Syrian National Council, and the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood. So these are two major parties, plus all the ones that were never in the coalition."
More recently, we have learned that the Free Syrian Army has fired its military chief General Selim Idriss. So, the opposition is in total chaos. Yet, President Obama and Secretary of State Kerry still are trying to pretend that there is a viable alternative to President Assad. In particular, Kerry apparently told a group of congressmen in Germany that President Obama has asked for a "new strategy" on Syria since the current strategy is failing.
Recently, President Obama stated, "we don't think there's a military solution per se to the [Syrian] problem." Yet, according to Washington Post, there was a two-day strategy meeting last week of intelligence officials from the U.S., Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Qatar, Jordan and other key regional powers in Washington, DC. So, clearly, President Obama is merely planning new tactics. But, the overall goal in Syria seems to be the same: Overthrow of the leader of another country by force.
It is not clear when U.S. presidents and politicians will understand that it is not the business of the United States who is the leader of another independent country. Currently, there is no viable alternative to President Assad in Syria. Despite all his faults, if he is deposed there will be total chaos in Syria. Presumably, the disasters in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Egypt were not enough for the politicians in Washington.

German U21 star Samed Yesil netted a late winner as Liverpool U21s came from behind to sink Wolves 3-2 at the Academy on Monday.
Back in November Liverpool had beaten Wolves 5-1 at Molineux and the away side came to Kirkby with a great determination to seek revenge.
Things started well for Alex Inglethorpe's side when Krisztian Adorjan netted the opener with his ninth goal of the season when he slotted home after Yesil's effort was saved.
Joao Carlos Texeira went close to adding to making it 2-0 but Wolves turned the game around in the second half.
A Conor Coady own goal levelled the scores before Sam Winnall made it 2-1. The Wolves striker saw his penalty saved by Danny Ward before he netted the rebound.
However with 10 minutes to go, Marc Pelosi netted the priceless equaliser with a great turn on the edge of the box, before Teixeira's cross from the right provided the assist for Yesil to fire a dramatic winner.
It is now two straight wins in the U21 elite league for Inglethorpe's side and the dramatic comeback maintains their unbeaten record this season.
Liverpool team: Ward, McLaughlin, Pelosi, Sama, Coady, Roddan, Morgan, Teixeira, Yesil, Adorjan, Pacheco.

"Once you acquire the tinkerer's mindset, as described in Alec Foege's engrossing book, the world becomes a gigantic spare parts bin, inviting you to become a creative participant, rather than a passive consumer, in your manufactured environment."
—Mark Frauenfelder, Editor-in-Chief, MAKE
"Tired of all the over-hyped, same-sounding books on 'innovation'? Here's a smart, fresh, fascinating take on why 'tinkering' is such a deep part of American enterprise—and how it is fundamental to shaping our economic future."
—Alan M. Webber, co-founder, Fast Company magazine
"For anyone who likes to question, pull things apart, and put them back together, this book is for you!"
—Tiffany Shlain, Filmmaker & Founder of the Webby Awards
"Making and hacking is being completely obsessed with a puzzle that shares its solution with everyone once it's solved. The Tinkerers explains that "Making" isn't something you just "do," it's a mindset. You look at the same world as everyone else, filled with the same things, things that are assumed to do just one thing or what we're told they should do—but you constantly ask yourself 'what else can I make this thing do?'"

It's been five seasons since the New Orleans Saints lost to the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. The last time they visited the stadium on Dec. 11, 2008, kicker Robbie Gould booted an overtime field goal to preserve a 27-24 win.
That lost was the last of three straight for the Saints in Chicago.
While two very different teams will face off in the Windy City on Sunday, the Saints know they have to be mindful of the potential challenges at Soldier Field.
"History has not treated us well at Soldier Field," quarterback Drew Brees said wryly. "Obviously we all want to be able to go up there and play well and get a win."
It works in the Saints' favor that they'll be facing the Bears early in the season. Their three losses from 2006-08 were all played in winter months with kickoff temperatures at 30 degrees or less. In addition to the 2008 defeat, the Saints also fell in the 2006 season's NFC championship game, 39-14, and 33-25 in 2007.
But they still have to adjust to the grass field, which has had enough problems that Gould vented about it on a radio program last year. Gould later recanted and issued an apology.
"I think you have to be conscious of the fact that that turf can be an issue and do what you can not to make it an issue," said Saints right tackle Zach Strief.
What has made Soldier Field so difficult for the Saints over the years? The Bears finished 13-3 and went to the Super Bowl during the 2006 season, but finished 7-9 and 9-7 while missing the playoffs the next two years.
"We've really only played there one year with weather. The crowd is good, it's not Seattle, it's not New Orleans," Strief said. "The field is loose, with a lot of guys sliding around. The turf is long. They've always got an issue there. By Week 6 it seems they've replaced it twice.
"But more than anything, that's a good football team and they've been a good football team for a long time."
What's really seemed to hamper the Saints during those seasons were turnovers -- four in 2006, three in 2007 and two in 2008.
That's one of the reasons Saints coach Sean Payton has put a special emphasis on avoiding turnovers. Another is the play of native New Orleanian Charles Tillman, who has not practiced this week with an injury, but has had special prowess in forcing turnovers.
Tillman, who played at UL-Lafayette, has 35 interceptions and 38 career forced fumbles, including 10 forced fumbles last season. He has two interceptions and one forced fumble this season.
"Tillman is as good as there has been in our game at forcing fumbles," Payton said. "They are exceptional at it. It is not by accident."
Run game woes -- again: Despite the Saints' 4-0 status, one glaring problem continues to pop up. The run game is ranked No. 25 in the NFL, averaging 81.3 yards per game.
And despite the endless questions about why the run game has struggled, there hasn't been a clear-cut answer.
"How much time do you have?," Strief quipped when yet asked again about the struggles. "It's hard to say. You look at a lot of plays, and it's one block. You look at some plays and it's a bunch of blocks. There's plays with missed reads. It's not like you've got nine guys getting destroyed and one guy unfortunately has to have the ball and get hit.
"There's things that need to be addressed and fixed. And it's a lot. It's not any one thing. If it was as easy as saying 'here's the problem,' then we could attack the issue and change it. But it's more than that."
So far, the Saints haven't needed to rely on the ground game, particularly with running backs like Darren Sproles and Pierre Thomas, who have been catching short passes or running screens in lieu of a traditional running play.
"We absolutely want to make improvements in that regard," Brees said. "There's a lot of other things that haven't been up to par ... but we've definitely found ways to win."
The Saints' passing game, which ranks No. 2 in the league, has more than made up for the lack of run support, to a point. But Strief conceded that probably won't last forever.
"At some point in the season, you will need that run game," he said. "There will be a point, whether it's bad weather, you're playing a really good offense you need to keep off the field, you need to control (the clock)."
Quotable: "Pound for pound, Darren Sproles is one of the best players I've ever played with. I love his work ethic, his practice habits, his mindset, everything about him. He is a true pro." -- Brees
Transactions: The Saints re-signed fullback Austin Johnson to the practice squad and released cornerback Jumal Rolle on Wednesday.

Give a Gift Membership
With this gift of nature, Nature Conservancy magazine arrives all year long. Join
With the presence of Sebastián Piñera, President of Chile, the creation of the Alerce Coastal National Park was announced today near Valdivia. This contributes to the protection of a priority conservation zone —both nationally and globally— that encompasses more than 61 thousand acres, of which The Nature Conservancy donated over 23,000 acres.
"Today we celebrate the creation of this new national park, which will help conserve the millenary Alerce forests (similar to North American sequoias) in the Coastal Mountain Range and enhance socio-economic development in nearby communities, adding-on to the Conservancy's work in the last eight years", said Francisco Solis, country representative for the Conservancy in Chile.
This new national park represents the largest protected area of the continental temperate rainforests in Chile. Through this new effort the biological value of this newly protected area becomes coherent with the development efforts aimed at tourism and production focused on land's natural value —the Valdivian Rainforest, in this case.
Since the creation of the Valdivian Coastal Reserve in 2003 in the coastal zone that is today the Los Rios Region in southern Chile, the Conservancy has significantly contributed to the conservation achievements of the country's temperate rainforest, which is extremely important for its high number of endemic species. Additionally, the Conservancy has supported major successful initiatives to strengthen the relationship between neighboring communities and the Reserve.
The Conservancy donated a portion of the existing Valdivian Coastal Reserve as part of this new conservation initiative to create the Alerce Coastal National Park. Combined, both protected areas add up to185,000 acres, and almost 136,000 acres could additionally become part of the area after a proposal to create a multi-purpose marine protected area is approved to create a substantial public-private conservation area of national relevance.
The Conservancy contributes to sustainable development in this region through the development of economic opportunities for the communities, which contribute to a better quality of life for people and greater participation on their behalf in conservation. One example includes the promotion of sustainable economic activities, especially tourism, in several nearby communities, such as Cadillal, Haupe, Huiro and Chaihuín, through traditional gastronomy and the sale of locally produced handicrafts.
"The excellent collaboration between different public and civil society actors helps protect biodiversity and create a real anchor for tourism development in the region, as well as for research and applied sciences", said Solis.
In the particular case of Chaihuín, the Government of Chile—in its different levels—and organizations like the Conservancy, work closely with the communities in the area. At the ceremony, the entrepreneurship of a local group of women working in a cooperative producing goods and services, including crafts, traditional food products and other typical goods that are emblematic of the region and have a distinct local accent.
The announcement was also presided by Minister of National Goods Catalina Parot, Minister of Agriculture Luis Mayol, and Juan Andrés Varas, Regional Mayor of the Los Ríos Region.
"In order to protect this treasure [the Valdivian temperate rainforest and the alerce trees]—and this not only belongs to us, because we owe it to the generations to come—we have decided to create this National Park, which will be the first to be entirely located in the Los Ríos Region. This has been possible thanks to the generous donation of more than 24,000 acres by The Nature Conservancy, to whom I would like to take the opportunity to say thank you for this donation, but more than that, for their spirit, commitment, will and care to help us preserve this gem," President Piñera said during his speech.
This is a milestone for the Conservancy that opens an opportunity in terms of replicating similar collaborative and innovative actions in other regions in the country. Conservation actions like this—for their complexity and the jurisdiction of their land use—require a very high level of cooperation and coordination. The Alerce National Coastal Park is an unprecedented example of confluent efforts and contributions by multiple actors, including communities, the government and community organizations. This represents a major step forward in the strengthening of the National Protected Areas System in Chile.

2 PCs/day stolen in Racine schools, why not try Sun Ray?
By bnitz on Oct 13, 2008
I saw this in my hometown newspaper the other day:
RACINE — Eleven computers were stolen from two Racine Unified elementary schools Monday night, bringing the total to nearly 70 computers taken from schools in a recent rash of burglaries.
Sad, school has only been in session a month and already 68 computers (enough for two or three classrooms) are gone. The Racine school system is already facing budget shortfalls and declining tax revenue in light of the recession (which always hits Racine at least 4 years before Wall street notices.) The unfortunate thing about this and similar Federally funded educational computers systems is that Federal funds seem to focus on hardware and completely ignore software, systems integration and training. Educational PCs tend to be underutilized for a couple of years and just when teachers begin to understand how to integrate them into their curriculum, some local politician will push an agenda "IF only we used PC instead of Mac, Windows 98 instead of Windows 95, Apple IIe, Apple instead of Atari... then Johnny would be able to read!" I've heard of brand new computers sit in boxes for two years, becoming completely obsolete before they are ever used. It's possible that the excellent Apple audio/video capabilities which made these computers so attractive to thieves hadn't been used in the classroom yet. Some of these computers were purchased under a grant for the purposes of exam administration. I happen to know that the deployment/upgrade system was really well designed (by my brother ;-) and similar to a system I helped put together for an Irish bank. But Sun Rays might have been better for some of these purposes and would free up the Apples for the multimedia functions they excel at. Sun Rays have a much longer "shelf-life" than a typical P.C. or Mac. The first ones made in the late 1990s would be able to administer exams and display XP, Vista, Linux, Solaris applications just as well as the brand new ones. Upgrades would be system-wide and nearly instantaneous. Bad or stolen hardware could be swapped out by the teacher and ready to use in less than 5 minutes. The fact that Sun Rays are useless without a server should make them less likely to be stolen (with the caveat that Racine thieves tend to be extremely stupid, the last item stolen from me there was the back wheel of a rusty 35-year-old Schwinn bicycle.)
When an Apple Computer or Wintel PC is stolen, the data usually goes with the hardware (unlike Sun Ray which retains no data!) So be on the lookout for "like new" iMacs, iBooks and eMacs containing files, student names or other references to Racine Unified's standardized test system.

In our quest to understand trading options for income, we spend most of our time locating good chart patterns supported by our favorite indicators, and often forget to consider the liquidity of the underlying's option chain. Not only does the lack of liquidity make it difficult to adjust or exit a position, it has a steep cost due to wider bid/ask spreads.
Liquidity is a crucial criterion in the selection of an underlying. It is not enough to limit our selection to equities or ETFs with high daily volume (typically in excess of 1 million shares), it is also important to review the option chain to ensure it has both depth and breadth: the greater the depth, the more strikes are available; the greater the breadth, the higher the volume and open interest at each strike. As depth increases, we find that the increment between strikes grows smaller (typically, $1 to $5, based on the price of the underlying. As breadth increases, we find that the spread between the bid and ask gets smaller.
In addition, we rely on the Probability Model to calculate the location of our short strikes using the 1 SD (standard deviation) expected move (or multiples thereof). Option chains lacking liquidity are inefficient resulting in skewed option prices, and this leads to distortions in IV (implied volatility) and corresponding probabilities.
To get an idea of the costs, Tasty Trade looked at the following stocks using a 1 lot Strangle with varying bid/ask spreads for one year of earnings: INTC, JPM, NDAQ, and PDCO. They took the spread x 100 x 2 contracts x 2 (round trip) x 4 earnings cycles. The theoretical slippage costs ranged from $16 to $240.
Taking this to the next level, Tasty Trade tested the effects of option chain liquidity over an extended period. To do this, 3 liquid (option bid/ask spread of 1 - 2 cents) and 3 illiquid stocks (option bid/ask spread of 10 - 15 cents) were selected and traded only during earnings over 5 years.
The results: the liquid stocks had a theoretical slippage cost of $240 to $480, while the illiquid stocks had costs ranging from $2,400 to $3,600 (assuming fills could be made).
In conclusion, we can see that illiquid option chains can be very costly. This test assumed that fills were made, when in reality many would not have been filled even at market prices (since the market maker will increase the market price). It is, therefore, imperative that you trade only underlyings with liquid option chains.

THREE years after Victoria's gambling regulator gave the AFL the all-clear over suggestions teams were tanking to win better draft picks, the regulator will again investigate the AFL over Brock McLean's revelations.
A spokeswoman for the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation said they were ''aware of the comments'' and the regulator ''will be making its own inquiries''.
The regulator investigated the possibility of tanking in the AFL in 2009.
After a two-month investigation the regulator found ''no evidence that tanking has occurred'' and it was satisfied ''with measures taken by the Australian Football League to ensure the integrity of football matches''.
The gambling commission has the power to set gambling conditions on the AFL, such as banning betting on teams at the bottom of the ladder, which have the greatest incentive to tank.
It also has the power to revoke the AFL's status as a sports-controlling body, stripping it of its power to demand money for betting on games.

According to Dictionary.com, sustainability is "to keep up or keep going, as an action or process; to supply with...the necessities of life." There are several definitions that describe sustainability, but whichever one you choose, you will see that sustainability is a highly important concept that impacts all of us - from our community, to the country, to the entire planet itself.
A huge amount of scientific evidence has shown that many of the world's important resources are being rapidly exhausted. Not only does this alarming news severely affect us, it also puts future generations in serious risk of living in a depleted world. Sustainability is the key to halting and potentially reversing this devastating problem. By seeking to conserve our remaining important resources and be more mindful of our use of electricity, paper supplies, gas emissions, and the like, we can turn Earth into a clean and self-sustaining planet that can be enjoyed through many more generations. This future won't be easy to achieve by any means, but by working together with the countless dedicated recycling and sustainability programs throughout the world and making our own conscious decisions toward greener living, we can make this a reality.
One of the purposes of UAA's Academic Plan is "to ensure that our graduates are citizens who can capably and quickly work to ensure the long-term health and vitality of our cultural, economic, environmental, and social systems in our city, state, nation, and world." You can join UAA's cause simply by making a few small changes in your day-to-day life. When everyone contributes, the impact is tremendous. The sustainability of our planet is in your hands.
What is Sustainability? (Other Definitions)
1. Meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.-Sustainability Communities Network
-UN World Commission on Environment and Development
2. The long-term health and vitality of economic, ecological, and social systems.
3. The ability of a system (society, ecosystem, business) to continue functioning into the indefinite future without being forced into decline through exhaustion of key resources.

I hate lemons in my water. Especially when they are huge slices. I can deal with a thinly cut layer, but for the most part, I like my water to taste like water. Last night I was served a big glass of water in a plastic tumbler and there were four lemon seeds floating around between the ice cubes. I wondered how much an average restaurant spends to add lemons to tap water. Seems like a great way to cut costs. Waddaya think?
I Have a Question: Why do Restaurants Put Lemons in Water?
Read This Next
If it wasn't there I would ask for it. If the water is filtered then it may taste ok but if not the lemon helps freshen it up.
For me it is a hygiene thing, I don't like them in my water because someone used their hands to slice them and they are usually laying around before they throw them in your glass. I also wonder how many restaurants wash them before slicing.
I'm usually asked if I want lemon. I can't remember a time that someone put a lemon in the water without asking first.
Oh, and it is best to say NO to the lemon as studies have shown that the lemon is often contaminated due to poor sanitation when cutting, unwashed fingers putting the lemon on the glass, not washing the lemons first, etc.
Jinx, Kat.
Water had bacteria/algea that results in a smell similar to a goldfish bowl or an aquarium. The lemon neutralizes the water's PH level, therefore masking the fishy smell water emits.
The true issue is why don't more restaurants filter their water. The answer of course is that filters must be changed and cost money. That being said lemon is mostly necessary to balance the poor tasting water at many establishments. They should however serve lemon the side, not in the glass.
I'm an anti-lemonite. I don't like ANYTHING in my water or iced tea. No straws, no lemons, no nothing.
Years ago I was served water with a moldy lemon floating around in it and have despised lemon in my water since! I think lemon should be left out unless someone specifically requests it.
Nana doesn't put lemons in their water. IJS.
http://www.criticsguide.com Steven Doyle
Lemon makes the water too astringent for my taste, and I prefer still water without ice.
http://www.uptownconservative.com UC
Waitstaff tend to be robots when it comes to lemon in the water. Even if I specifically ask them to not put lemon in my water it will still be there at least 50% of the time. It annoys me to no end that I have to ask that something disgusting not be put in my water, but such is life I guess.
When I bartended in town 3-4 years ago, I was the only person there who: 1) washed his fruit; 2) washed his hands every few minutes or so; 3) used a clean cutting board; and 4) kept extra fruit in a clean container. Personal standard and habit….
@N – Something about your declaration "I was the only person there who washed his fruit" really turns me on.
http://sidedish.wpengine.com Nancy Nichols
I still want to know how much an average restaurant spends on lemons for water.
Aquatic lemons are hardly the worst offenders. If you ask me, the most infuriating "why not?" of the restaurant world is the bed of lettuce. Need a side of guacamole and sour cream? Why not drop both scoops on a bed of shredded iceberg that nobody wants!
I ordered a side of sour cream at Chuy's on Sunday; it actually came in a small bowl on top of a lilliputian pile of lettuce. What?! Was that supposed to class it up?!
How much money does the average Tex-Mex restaurant waste on shredded iceberg lettuce?
I love lemons. I agree that they should be optional, but I'd always take lemon in water, iced tea, club soda, etc.
Jo Bennett
What a trite non issue!It is a personal preference…it should also be a choice given to a diner by the waitstaff before serving along with ice or not lemon or not…and I agree restaurants should not only filter their water but wash the fruit and their hands…
http://www.grapevineblog.net Emily
I don't like my water to taste like water because more often than not, the water does not taste good. I like just a bit of flavor in it. I add lemons to my water at home all the time.
I don't think you're going to get an answer to the question of how much the lemons cost, because who would even know, but I'd bet it's less than the cost of many things that actually are a genuine waste of money, like giving you half a dozen plastic containers when you get takeout. Lemons actually have a purpose. That's like asking how much money a restaurant spends on artificial sweetener. Who cares? Some people like it, some don't.
I don't think there's anything wrong with lemons being optional or being brought to the table on a small dish, but if you bring every table a half dozen lemon slices on a plate, that's probably more lemons (and more lemons wasted) than putting one in each glass.
I also think there may be some merit to the hygenic concerns, but I'm not enough of a germophobe to care. YMMV.
http://www.grapevineblog.net Emily
I also agree with the above comment on lettuce. Lettuce mixing in with perfectly good guacamole drives me bonkers.
http://sidedish.wpengine.com Nancy Nichols
Lemons are expensive. All a server has to do is ask if you want lemon in your water. If a restaurant used half, they would save significant money. Especially if they also cut out two or three other lemon-like components to their business. Like lettuce in guacamole. Or even an automatic glass of water. If a restaurant doesn't just produce a glass filled with ice, water, and lemon they would save money and make the dishwasher happy.
If you ever tasted the tap water in Deep Ellum (which Dallas Water claims at times of high water is "Infiltrated" meaning sewer backup) You NEEDED that lemon to keep the customer unaware. Problems with most lemons is they are stored in a cardboard box and impart TCA which makes you wine taste like %&$#@.
http://www.tjsseafood.com jonfromtjs
"I still want to know how much an average restaurant spends on lemons for water."
I'd know, TJ's gives a free lemon to every customer that asks for one.
a case with apprx 100 lemons = 31.95 / case
.32 per lemon, call it 8 wedges per lemon. that's .04 in every glass.
Long ago, I worked as a waiter. One of my side jobs was to cut lots of lemons for water. I can assure you that they were never washed and we used our unwashed hands to cut them and scoop them up into a container. It's entirely possible for someone to nick their finger and get blood mixed in. You don't have to be a germaphobe to find that gross. Since then, I shudder when I find lemon floating in my glass. It's the same feeling as when I see a server hold the glass by the rim where I'll be putting my lips. Ugh. Maybe these days, people use gloves when cutting them. Does anyone know?

A couple of evenings ago I needed to drive back to Annapolis Royal to pick up a few things at the grocery store. For all intents, this was a fairly standard trip down the Granville Road. While I was driving, I noticed that there was an interesting coloured band of clouds hanging over Annapolis Royal. Since I was facing a somewhat eastern direction, I was not expecting to see so much colour at this time of day. I have occasionally seen this vista as the sun rises in the morning and there are indeed some spectacular colours but not usually in the evening. Since I have littered this blog with images looking across the Annapolis Basin from the opposite side, I figured that this would be a good opportunity to get some images of the Annapolis Royal waterfront.
This quiet scene was once the economic engine of Annapolis Royal. In the 19th century schooners, barques, brigs, ships and assorted other vessels would be lined up looking to load or unload merchandise at one of the many wharves. Along the shore you would find warehouses to store produce from the Annapolis Valley and salt fish. Huge piles of lumber seemed to fill every vacant space. In the shipyards, skilled craftsmen were producing wooden vessels to meet an ever growing need.
It is hard to see the signs of this activity today. All but one of the wharves have vanished. The rocks and rotting logs which are exposed at low tide are the only reminders of these facilities. We still have a fleet of wooden scallop boats, but the tall ships have been gone for a long time. Thankfully, many of the houses remain. Many of these houses have graced the waterfront of the lower town since the 1770s. These buildings have been there through the population influx of the Loyalists. They stood proud during the boom times of the golden age of sail. When the shipping boom went bust after WWI, these houses took on a more humble appearance, but they remained a key part of the waterfront. Today, these houses are a key element in what makes Annapolis Royal a charming tourism destination. They are a constant reminder that, despite the vagaries of economic fluctuations, the sun does not set on this scene.
All for now,

TC TO MARGARET A. CARLYLE; 3 December 1833; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18331203-TC-MAC-01; CL 7:48-50.
Craigenputtoch 3d December, 1833—
My Dear Mother,
The Note1 here inclosed is for Alick, and I see no safer mode of conveying it than by Scotsbrig, tho' it must loiter a little by the way: there is nothing very pressing [in] it. A few lines to yourself must reconcile you to being made a Carrier of.
I hope Notman delivered you the Pills, so stupidly forgotten. The hasty scrawl that went with them would signify that we were here, and little more; I was hardly this twelvemonth in such a hurry. Since then, all goes on as it was doing; in spite of this most disastrous weather, the worst we have had for long. We, indeed, sit snug; and defy the tempest: but Macadam's stable-slates jingling off from time to time suggest to us what many are suffering; some, doubtless, far out in the "wide and wasteful main"!2 Both Jane and I go walking, by night, if not by day, when there is a gleam of clearness; I take now and then a kind of deck-walk, to and fro, at the foot of the avenue, in a spot where, you know, the wood shelters one from all winds that can blow. Last night (about dusk rather) coming along Blackmark Road right in the teeth of wind and rain, I—frayed the skin of my heel (with the wet clog-leather); and so, shall ride for the next day or two: this, I think, is all the misery that has befallen since you saw us!
Grace came home at her appointed time, and Nancy had not gone away; having no service to go to. She went at last, with a blessing; seemingly in a very strange humour: Jane surmises there may be a "misfortune" in the wind! Poor Grace does her very best; and tho' slow, yet being regular as clock-work, makes wonderful way. It is augured that she may cut a quite reasonable figure; and from her, as one of the faithfullest characters living, we ought to put up with much. Harry (whom she saddles) and she have got into the most intimate terms; and converse a good deal; he by nickering and whinnying; she in the human Scotch dialect.
We saw Jean and her man and household as we passed thro' Dumfries: it was all looking right enough; one could hope that they might do very well there. Aitken, I find by a Picture3 over his mantel-piece, has quite another talent for painting than I gave him the smallest credit for: it is really a surprising piece to have been executed there. As to Jean we have always known her as a most reasonable, clear and resolute little creature: of her in all scenes and situations good is to be anticipated. So we will wish them heartily a Blessing; with hope.
Ever since Alick left us, I have been writing with all my old vehemence: this day too I insisted on doing my task. It is about the "Diamond Necklace"; that story you heard some hint of in Cagliostro. We shall see what it turns to.— I am in the Drawing-room tonight with my big table (and side half to the fire, which is hot enough): Jane at my back, also writing; what she will not tell me. We have been here together, these three days; the rain had run down the vents actually in large streams, and damped everything. This is what I call descriptive minuteness.— Let me also say, I have been reading in poor Waugh's Book,4 and found your opinion of it verified: it is actually "far better than one could have expected," and contains some interesting things, things at least which give rise to thoughts that interest. Poor Waugh! "Poor fellow, after all!"5
Alick's little Letter (one of the smallest I ever read, but not the emptiest) informed us of what had been passing at Catlinns, and that you were there; he said, well. Have you returned from the expedition still well? I cannot too often impress on you the dangers of winter weather: you have a tendency to apprehension for every one but for yourself. Catlinns is not a good place in winter; and were Jenny not the healthiest of women must have been very trying for her.
But there is another expedition, My dear Mother, which you are bound, which I hope you are getting ready for. Come up with Austin and Mary to Jean; stay with her till you rest; sending me up word when: on Wednesday, or any other day, I will come driving down, and fetch you. In about a week hence, as I calculate, I shall be done with this scribblement; and then we can read together and talk together and walk together!— Besides this in the horrid winter weather is a better Lodging for you than any other, and we will take better care of you—we promise. The blue room shall be dry as fire can make it: no such drying except those you make at Scotsbrig where on one occasion, as I remember, you spent the whole time of my visit in drying my clothes. Lastly that when "you come you may come,"6 Jane bids me communicate to Jamie that she wants three stones of meal; but will not take it, unless he take pay for it.
And so, Dear Mother, this scribble must end—as others have done. Tomorrow I believe is my eight-and-thirtieth birthday! You were then young in life; I had not yet entered it. Since then—how much! how much! They are in the Land of Silence (but while we live, not of Forgetfulness), whom we once knew, and (often with thoughts too deep for words) wistfully ask of their and our Father Above that we may again know. God is great; God is good! It is written, "He will wipe away all tears from every eye."7 Be it as He wills; not as we wish.— These things continually almost dwell with me; loved Figures hovering in the background or foreground of my mind. A few years more, and we too shall be with them in Eternity. Meanwhile it is this Time that is ours; let us be busy with it; and work, work, "for the Night cometh."8
I send you all young and old my heart's blessing; and remain, as ever,
My Dear Mother, / Your affectionate, /
T. Carlyle.
Mary or Jenny must write unless you are coming directly. Send all news; of Farms, and all else.

Fifth Down Post: Revis and Cromartie
Over at the New York Times blog, The Fifth Down, I wrote a short article about the 2010 Jets. Barring injury, the '10 Jets corners will be a 25-year-old Darrelle Revis and a 26-year-old Antonio Cromartie, both of whom have been named first-team All-Pros by the Associated Press before. As it turns out, only three other times since the merger has a team fielded two players at the same position, both 26 years of age or younger, who had previously been selected as 1APs by the Associated Press.

I love it!Review by Kirstyn
So far, we've had this vacuum a few weeks and we love it! It's the only vacuum that hasn't burned up in our very high carpet. Also, you can hear it working! I can hear all the dirt that is being sucked into it, because the vacuum is so quiet! The cord is so long and you only have it plug it in once. After we used it the first time, we thought our carpet looked steamed cleaned!

Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc is the official name of the Anzu, specs reconfirmed, new pics show up
The Sony Ericsson Anzu has leaked a couple of times, but never before did we know anything other than its codename – for Anzu, like Idou, and other similar names used by Sony Ericsson, was clearly just a codename.
Today Russian site Gagadget has unearthed the name under which this phone will be selling: Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc. Why they chose 'Arc' is pretty clear once you consider the device's shape. Whether or not that shape is more ergonomic than others remains to be seen, but there's definitely an arc there. Sadly, saying the name 'Xperia Arc' out loud doesn't go as easy as it could, for the double 'A' does spoil the flow a bit.
Anyway, Gagadget have also reiterated the specs that have been leaked before. So, the Arc will come with a 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, a 4.2-inch 854×480 capacitive touchscreen, enhanced clarity and brightness, 8-megapixel camera with Exmor R lens. It weighs 117 grams, and its dimensions will be 125x63x9 mm (8.7 mm in its thinnest point). The battery will be 1500 mAh, and the phone will have an HDMI connector and support DLNA.
The Arc will run Android 2.3 Gingerbread upon launch and will be updated to Android 3.0 Honeycomb at some point in the future. It should be in stores this quarter, for a yet-unspecified price that should be similar to that of the Xperia X10 when it launched.

I am an avid eclectic reader.
"Jedidiah Boone"
Gene Engene does a good job narrating this story. This is a short 6 hours story which is ideal to fit between reading longer books. The book follows the typical western theme of bad men, Indians, families moving west and a seasoned mountain man. Easy to listen to for a medium commute.
"Excellent story"
Very well performed and the story was great..Mr Engene is a very good narrator and brought the whole book to life.I enjoy Westerns and this is one of the best..Very enjoyable.and the length was just right.I really liked it.
"Like taking a trip back"
Great reader. Nice pace and voice changed per character.
I'd get another book by this team of writer and reader.
"Too short!"
Story was too short! Could had added more about Jedidian after his mission and his life with his new family.

Funds from operations -- considered a widely accepted measure of REIT performance -- was $28 million, or 30 cents per share in the first quarter. In first-quarter 2011, the company reported funds from operations of $23.3 million, or 27 cents per share.
Birmingham-based Colonial Properties attributed the gain to an 8.3 percent increase in multifamily income.
"The multifamily operating fundamentals remain attractive and are providing the fuel for driving strong same-property and financial results," CEO Thomas Lowder said in a statement. "Rental rates have been increasing, turnover has remained steady and occupancies have remained high. We are excited about heading into the spring leasing season with this level of operating momentum."

Deploying a .NET application using ClickOnce previously led to application crashing after installation with Microsoft's error reporting wizard including exception code 0xE0434F4D in reported data. This crash appeared early on every invocation.
Googling the numeric code primarily leads to trouble with Windows Installer. As I was trying to deploy a .NET 2.0 application utilizing ODBC driver for writing Excel stylesheets with Visual C# 2008 Express Edition I expected causes in that constellation of using outdated framework with an uptodate IDE.
It took some time to start my recent Visual Studio 2005 Standard IDE to debug the crash on a client pointing me to trouble with resource management. Finally all I had to do was removing my custom icon resources from any form … there is something wrong, but since icons aren't required for functionality I'll put this on a far future todo list …
Update on February 6th 2009:
A few days after posting that I found a solution to that problem, but missed to post it here until now. In Visual C# 2008, at least in Express Edition, I was used to open a form in Designer and edit its properties using related view providing all properties in a table. The property "Icon" on a form, for example, is featuring to instantly import an icon from file on that spot and that's what I was doing before not encountering any problems as long as running the app on the same machine I was developing on. Now I changed to import all my icons into the project's resource file first and attach them to my forms etc. manually in code.
There is a separate "Resource Designer" available after clicking on Resource.resx found subordinated to the "Properties" node under your project's node in Project Explorer view. That designer is managing icons among other sorts of data. After importing your icons there you need to load and attach each of them in source manually. I did it in constructor of my form's class after call to method InitializeComponents, e.g.
Icon = MyProjectName.Properties.Resources.iconName;
Obey the names used in that line and adjust them according to your project's context: "MyProjectName" is exactly the name of my project/package as found in Project Explorer. Next there is "Properties" meant literally, so keep it as it is here. "Resources" selects one of the resource files (w/o extension .resx) found under Properties in Project Explorer and Resources is the default, so keep it as well. Finally "iconName" is the name assigned to your icon in Resource Designer on importing.
My application is now perfectly running under Windows 2000, XP and Vista without any hassle …

Secretary of State John Kerry delivered a statement during a press conference in Paris late Sunday after a four hour session with the Russian Foreign Secretary, Sergei Lavrov, led to no deal, reports the BBC this afternoon.
Kerry held with the US stand that the Russian actions in Crimea are considered to be 'illegal and illegitimate.' Lavrov set demands at the start of talks for a neutral and federal Ukraine.
Federalism was of great concern to the US according to Kerry and the presence of Russian troops on the Ukraine border was presenting a climate of fear and intimidation.
To which the Lavrov responded before the press: 'We have absolutely no intention of, or interest in, crossing Ukraine's borders.'
After voters in the mainly pro-Russian Crimea responded with a large majority to leave the Ukraine, Russia has taken over most of the Ukraine's military bases in Crimea. There were no shots fired or fights to remove Ukraine troops from the bases. They were given time to gather personal affects and leave the bases quietly without incident.
The U.N. General Assembly and Kiev have condemned the vote two weeks ago in Crimea. The Pentagon is of the belief that Russia has amassed tens of thousands of Russian troops along the border of the Ukraine.
The Russian demands were strict in guidelines. Russia wanted on Sunday agreement for a solution over the Crimean situation that the US and its European partners accept that ethnic Russian regions of Ukraine be given autonomy from Kiev. It is a country divided by Russian loyalty and Ukrainian It is a country divided by Russian loyalty and Ukrainian loyalty.
Earlier on Sunday, US Defense Secretary, Chuck Hagel, ordered NATO supreme allied commander of Europe, General Philip Breedlove, to return to his post in Brussels from his Washington meetings. Hagel gave the reason for the immediate return of Breedlove was due to a 'lack of transparency' from Russia and the troop movement.
Vladimir Putin had discussed with President Obama on Friday a regional plan for Ukraine which would set apart regions. Each region would control its own economy, taxes, culture, language, and education, 'external economic and cultural connections with neighboring countries or regions,' according to the Putin discussion with Obama.
Dianne Feinstein, chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, told CNN's 'State of the Union' earlier on Sunday, 'What gives me a sense we may be able to solve the situation is that Putin did call our President and suggestions were made, and there will be a meeting (between Kerry and Lavrov).' She added, 'and there may well be the ability to solve this.'
There was a definite no deal delivered by Kerry today to Lavrov as the meeting ended on Sunday.

Caramia has been an eBay member since 2000 and she started selling just to see if she could do it. The first item she listed was a foot spa and once it sold, she was hooked!
She listed more things, mostly clothing and cosmetics, which were the kind of items that she did know best. Her listings gradually grew and her eBay store was opened and named; "Caramia's Collection!"
One of her favorite "oldies" songs is "Cara Mia" by Jay & the Americans -- and that was how her store name was born.
Her logo was picked simply because she wanted to portray the shopping experience and not focus on any one type of item. Her store is clean and neat with easy navigation.
