Why We Still Need Google's Nexus Brand
Mike Schuster
A rumor claims that Google might dissolve the Nexus brand next year. Here's why it would be missed.
Ever since
(NASDAQ:GOOG) introduced its Nexus brand of Android devices with the Nexus One back in 2010, customers have come to expect certain features from the line. Not only would Nexus owners be first in line to receive software updates, users also get an operating system touting a "pure Google experience," meaning there's no manufacturer skin masking a stock Android platform. And while hardware specs would be close to the top-of-the-line, unsubsidized prices would be far more affordable than your average flagship smartphone.
Such aspects have earned the Google brand its share of fans -- not just from consumers but analysts and tech bloggers as well. The most recent Nexus release, the Nexus 5 by LG, which debuted last Halloween, is still considered by many critics to be the best Android phone on the market. And a growing number of users in the market for a new phone will now wait for the inevitable Nexus release each year before plunking down a few hundred for a new device.
However, what has seemed "inevitable" until now may soon be, in fact, evitable: A recent rumor seems to indicate that the celebrated Nexus brand might be on its way out.
According to Russian blogger Eldar Murtazin,
Google will no longer manufacture Nexus devices in 2015
, and instead concentrate on releasing Google Play editions of existing smartphones -- with a newly branded name. Devices like
(OTCMKTS:SSNLF) Galaxy S4 and
(TPE:2498) One devices have seen Google Play versions wherein their manufacture skins (TouchWiz and Sense, respectively) are removed, giving the user an unfettered, stock version of Google's Android software.
Upon reporting the rumor -- which should be taken with a grain of salt, given Murtazin's spotty track record -- some writers have applauded the decision and deemed the Nexus line irrelevant in light of recent advances in the smartphone industry.
"[The] product line itself is running out of reasons to exist," writes Jared Newman for
in a piece titled
"It's About Time for Google's Nexus Line to Go Away."
"[The] Nexus brand name itself is due for retirement, because it communicates nothing about the product to those who don't already know its meaning."
But Newman fails to produce a compelling argument as to why consumers are better off without Nexus devices.
He cites the existence of Google Play editions of smartphones and tablets like the Galaxy S4 and LG's G Pad 8.3 as a means for one to get a stock Android fix. And yet, at $650 and $350, they're significantly more expensive than the $350 Nexus 5 and $230 Nexus 7 tablet. Newman points to the Google Play edition of Motorola's Moto G, which sells for $180, as proof that a low-cost Nexus device is no longer needed. But of course, a quick look at the Moto G's modest specs proves you're buying a device that's inferior to the Nexus 5.
Curiously, Newman then writes, "If you're a smartphone user in the United States, and you don't regularly take your phone abroad, you're almost always better off with a $200 phone and a two-year contract than a $300 phone and no contract."
Although he qualifies that statement with the monthly discounts offered by "cheaper wireless services" for unsubsidized phones, the math continually works in the customer's favor for almost every provider except
(NYSE:VZ). Plus, some users couldn't put a price on the freedom of swapping out a carrier's SIM card for another, even if they're not traveling internationally.
But perhaps the strangest argument against the Nexus brand comes from Clinton Stark, whose piece
"Why Google Should Kill the Nexus Brand"
begins with four paragraphs touting the line's lower price, lack of bloatware, speedy updates, and overall freedom from carrier meddling before criticizing the name itself.
"Google should kill the Nexus program," Stark writes. "For one, it's as nerdy a name as anyone in tech can recall.
Blade Runner
(1984)? Classic film. Amazing. But does the Nexus name, which no doubt was lifted from Ridley Scott's neo-noir masterpiece, resonate with women? Mainstream buyers? iPhone users?"
He even throws a few more compliments Nexus' way before equivocating that "Google Play Edition" may or may not be a more appealing name for those switching from
The truth is, in 2014, Nexus matters. Mobile providers still hold too much power and continue to institute draconian fees and policies that require freedom at a lower, unsubsidized cost. Google Play editions, while always welcome, still mean a costlier device and one released months after the initial skinned version. And there's a reason why Nexus fans prefer the "pure Google experience" from the brand and why no Google Play edition is currently considered the best Android phone on the market.
While we may see good reasons as to why the Nexus name will be irrelevant in 2015, they certainly aren't apparent in 2014.

Okay, so you can't get your guy to smear on moisturizer after his shower. Start with a smaller commitment, like getting him hooked on Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm ($7.50) during the cold months. The original formula is mild in minty flavor and big on moisture. He won't mind smoothing it over his chapped lips, especially if you refuse to give him smooches until they have a kissable texture again!

This January is the 40th anniversary of Diane von Furstenberg's wrap dress. Von Furstenberg did not invent the 'wrap dress' which could be described as a public bathrobe. She did, however, turn it into a fashion icon that is uniquely American. She is quoted in the WWD article "Fabulous and Forty: DVF's Wrap Journey" by Marcy Medina, as saying that the design happened by accident. It was a very auspicious accident for the young designer. It propelled her at the age of 26 into the upper echelons of the fashion world. In 1976 she appeared on the cover of the March issue of Newsweek wearing her signature wrap dress. Von Furstenberg's wrap dress first appeared on the fashion scene in 1973 and is still a wardrobe staple. First ladies, rock icons, actresses, and businesswomen of all ages wear it. It is said that every generation reinvents fashion. Diane von Furstenberg reinvented the wrap dress for her generation and future generations of stylish women.

TUCSON, Ariz. ?C Arizona softball head coach Mike Candrea announced Friday that three high school seniors have signed National Letters-of-Intent to attend The University of Arizona and play for the eight-time national champion Wildcats.
The trio of signees -- Kristen Arriola, Perelini Koria and Karissa Buchanan -- is scheduled to arrive on campus in fall 2008.
"Our staff is very pleased to announce this recruiting class, and we are confident that each of these young women will contribute to the Arizona softball tradition," Candrea said.
"As with all of our recruiting classes over the years, each signing is a result of many hours of recruiting and scouting from our staff," Candrea continued.
Arriola is a right-handed hitting middle infielder from Garden Grove, Calif. She attends the same Pacifica High School that produced Wildcat All-American Toni Mascarenas.
"Kristen is a player with tremendous pop in her bat and possesses outstanding speed," Arizona assistant coach Larry Ray said.
Additionally, Arriola comes with a winning pedigree on the club circuit, where she is a four-time national champion with the Worth Firecrackers, which calls current Wildcats Sarah Akamine, Kˇ?Lee Arredondo and Lauren Schutzler alums.
Koria, who is known as Lini, is a highly-touted catcher out of San Pedro High School. In her junior year, the backstop from Gardena, Calif., belted 17 home runs for the CIF City Section champions.
Koria has spent the last two years with the Worth Firecrackers, but has also spent time with the Orange County Batbusters and USA Athletics club softball teams.
"Lini is a player with tremendous power and great hands," Ray said. "We expect that she will be an asset both at the plate and on defense."
Buchanan hails from Tucson, Ariz., where the left-handed hitting outfielder attends Sabino High School.
An outfielder, Buchanan currently plays club ball for the Arizona Hotshots, after coming over from the Desert Thunder.
The two-time NFCA first-team All-West Region selection possesses extremely good speed and quickness, and according to Ray, she could be the next player in a long line of excellent Arizona slap hitters.
Arizona will open its back-to-back national championship title defense in Tempe at the Kajikawa Classic on Feb. 15, 2008, against Notre Dame.

InEar StageDiver SD-2S
"Before starting the review I'd like to explain a few thing about myself so you can contextualize my advice/review. I'm a 24 years old student in IT, my passion in life is Sound Design, I also like the mixing / mastering phase of electronic record. I don't play any instrument since I can't due to an accident that cut my tendons and ligaments on one of my hands. I listen almost..." --nofuture

Musical Fidelity EB-50
"Hi, I've recently got my EB-50, and straight out of the box, I had to adjust my ears to the flat sound signature. the sound is clinical and dry but very true. Coming from the luscious RE-262 (difficult to drive, mid-centric but with extremely great soundstage), the EB-50 were extremely fast and I loved the soundstage that as a out-of-the-head feeling that almost seems not coming from the..." --Kressel

Nokia Photos 1.5 Beta now available
Before you lose all your hair out of frustration with the Nokia Photos application that came bundled with your Nseries phone's PC Suite, Nokia has announced that they will be releasing an updated version of the said program, to be known as Nokia Photos 1.5 Beta.
Nokia Photos 1.5 Beta introduces a few new features and keeps all the goodies in the old one. For example, version 1.5 can now import photos and videos from any digital camera, memory stick and even your computer's hard disk, aside from any S60 device you plug in to sync. Video conversion and shrinking photos to the right resolution for your phone are also on-board, as well as improved functionality for newer phones such as the Nokia N78 and Nokia N96.
Nokia Photos 1.5 Beta also comes with a new map view, on which you can visualize all your geotagged photos and even move them to any position on the map you like to geotag them again.
Finally, Nokia promises there will be better integration with their online sharing service called Ovi, though they never mentioned if the program itself will be faster and less of a resource hog than its previous version. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

An event named the Cheney Summit convened to discuss a number of issues important to the community, including finding a way to bring "new money" into the community.

Lesson 5: Bigger is Better
The Internet
In Bandwidth, Bigger Is Better
Ever had to wait 10 or more seconds for a Web page to finish building on your screen? That can be a combination of many things. First, the file size of the Web page was probably big. There was a lot of information to get through. Second, the computer you were using may have a slow microprocessor. A fast microprocessor can process incoming information faster. Third, your connection to the Internet may have been slow. For better performance, the connection you were using needed more bandwidth.
Bandwidth is the amount of data that can pass through a particular connection in a set amount of time. It can differ depending on what type of connection your computer has to the Internet. The greater the bandwidth of the connection, the faster a Web page builds on your screen. Faster bandwidth means files download faster and videos like the one on this page play quicker and more smoothly.
When the Internet was largely text and fewer people used it, bandwidth wasn't that important. Text pages have small file sizes. But today there are many more people on the Internet and we use it to exchange photographs, download software, listen to music, and even view movies online. These kinds of files are much larger and require a bigger connection to your computer to perform properly. That makes bandwidth very important.

Busy at the
birdbath waspbath
Yesterday afternoon the outside temperature went up to 35° C (95° F). During that time the birdbath in the backyard was quite popular with the local wasps. There were 2 species. Soon after I posted their photos on BugGuide (here and here), they got identified as Polistes dominula (or dominulus), the European paper wasp (the yellow-banded one) and Polistes fuscatus, the northern paper wasp (the darker one with red marks). The former has been introduced to North America from Europe or Asia.
I noticed that the European paper wasps (above) could land on and take off directly from the surface of the water. The northern paper wasps, on the other hand, seemed to prefer to land on the wall of the bath right above the meniscus. As you can see in the picture below, they support themselves by pushing against the surface of the water with their front legs.

Besides all of the format-specific cards with mysterious and unprecedented abilities in Conspiracy, we should be able to expect that other supplemental-product staple: A handful of EDH-ready new legends with cool build-around abilities. And Nico Nico Douga has spoiled the first of them we know about - the spectral monarch from all of the promo artwork who has the ability to whisk away his subjects to another realm. Here's Breigo, King of Eternity in translation:
Breigo, King of Eternity 2WU
Legendary Creature - Spirit (Rare)
Whenever Breigo, King of Eternity deals combat damage to a player, exile any number of target nonland permanents you control, then return those cards to the battlefield under their owners' control.
He has flavor text, by the way, which has yet to be translated. Blinking is one of the most versatile things you can do in a game of Magic - it can remove harmful Auras, act as a "soft reset" for counters, effectively untap permanents, save creatures from lethal damage and any kind of permanent from destruction spells... and, of course, abuse enters-the-battlefield and leaves-the-battlefield triggers. Being able to do it repeatedly and en masse is, well, pretty crazy. Just pack a Breigo deck with all of your favorite creatures with ETB abilities and suddenly every time he connects you'll have a whole stack full of tasty effects to play around with. Basically, he's destined to be an EDH favorite. And all of this on a nothing-to-sneeze-at 2/4 flying body!
What do you think of this flickering legend? Let me know in the comments.

A LinkedIn rejection letter has shaken up social media after a 26-year-old jobseeker was terribly condemned by a hiring executive.
Diana Mekota is planning to relocate to Ohio this summer and she emailed Kelly Blazek -- operator of a well-known online job bank for marketing professionals in Cleveland, CNN reported Feb. 28.
The answer Mekota got from Blazek was repulsive -- and she posted it to her Imgur account. Since then it has made the rounds all over social media and has gone viral.
"Your invite to connect is inappropriate, beneficial only to you, and tacky," Blazek wrote back to Mekota in her LinkedIn rejection letter. "Wow, I cannot wait to let every 26-year-old jobseeker mine my top-tier marketing connections to help them land a job."
I love the sense of entitlement in your generation. You're welcome for your humility lesson for the year. Don't ever reach out to senior practitioners again and assume their carefully curated list of connections is available to you, just because you want to build your network."
Blazek ended with ordering Mekota not to "ever" write her again.
Mekota sent her original email Feb. 19. She highlighted her educational and professional background.
The jobseeker wrote this to Blazek after receiving her incredibly rude response:
"I realize you told me to never write you again, but wanted to reach out as there has been a large miscommunication and I merely wanted to explain myself.
"I apologize if this came off as arrogant or invasive as that was never my intention. was again, hoping to join your very impressive job board but I understand you(r) reservations."
According to CNN, after the LinkedIn rejection letter went viral, Blazek emailed an apology to the Cleveland Plain-Dealer. She told CNN that she had apologized to "everyone."
"I am very sorry to the people I have hurt," she wrote in her email apology. "Creating and updating the Cleveland Job Bank listings has been my hobby for more than ten years. It started as a labor of love for the marketing industry, but somehow it also became a labor, and I vented my frustrations on the very people I set out to help."
As hard as it is to believe, Kelly Blazek was named "Communicator of the Year" in 2013 by Cleveland's branch of the International Association of Business Communicators.
Blazek deleted her Twitter account and blog Thursday after the letter hit news.
Blazek wrote an apology email to Diana Mekota...calling her conduct "rude, unwelcoming, unprofessional and wrong." She added that "Diana and her generation are the future of this city. I wish her all the best in landing a job in this great town."
Mekota confirmed that she did receive the apology and thanked Blazek for it.
The LinkedIn rejection letter was absolutely uncalled for. Who knows why she felt she had to generate such a hostile letter. Hopefully she learned from this detrimental mistake.

When it comes to Boston, the term 'melting-pot' is employed more than it's artists are. It is one of the bitter jokes that we often have to spend a lot to earn a little. It can be particularly disenchanting to find oneself out from under the wing of diligent professors, fellow artists and patient peers. It is easy to feel stranded and left alone with a few grubby canvases, a packet of ramen, and a fistful of ideas. But there is hope yet, for our demographic has not gone unnoticed as a market.
Here are some sites that ought to keep your art growing, and meat on your bones.
1. Nova Colour - $$$$
If you prefer working in acrylics, take a look at Nova Colour. Their paint comes wholesale and you can buy in bulk without travelling to shop every time you run out of Cadmium red. The photo accompaniment to this article features Landon Richmond of Know No Truth, a regular user of Nova Colour.
2. The Paint Store - $$$$
The Paint Store is a great source for the accoutrements and oddities of painting, such as spray paint and rollers. Not much by way of fine art, but rags don't need to be fine.
3. Art Supply Wholesale - $$$$
Art Supply Wholesale is really for everyone, but has some particularly good deals for painters. To give an example, a 170 ml tube of SoHo artists oil paint goes for $3.40 to $5.99. Here's the catch with ASW, membership fee of about a $100 a year is required for their better deals, but if you are planning on buying some particularly costly items it may be worth considering, given that the membership fee is waved after $5000 worth of spending.
1. Sculpture House - $$$$
Sculpture House has everything from stone carving tools to specialised rasps, and even magnifier for detailed work. They also have a selection of sculpture books, with a respectable number dedicated to figurative sculptors. http://www.sculpturehouse.com
2. Clay-King - $$$$
Clay-King aptly knows the meaning of the phrase 'dirt cheap'. They have everything from dollar clay cutters to pottery wheels, to kilns.
1. All Art Supplies / Discount Art Supplies is likewise a good bet for buying in bulk. Some of their deals are better than others, but digging for them is half the fun. They have particularly good supplies for children, if you are looking for a gift to encourage creativity.
2. Art Supply Warehouse has a lot of materials for the craftsperson. They are a good bet for framing, fine writing, airbrushes and book binding. If you are sick of paying out of pocket for speciality items than this might just be the site for you.

Artist Details
Amp Fiddler
Joseph "Amp" Fiddler is known for sharing the stage and studio with luminaries such as Prince, George Clinton & the P-Funk All-Stars (with whom he toured for more than 10 years), The Brand New Heavies, Jamiroquai, Maxwell, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Carl Craig and famed Detroit underground producer Moodymann. Amp Fiddler is also credited with playing a pivotal role in bringing Slum Village to global attention; he was a friend and collaborator of late producer James "J Dilla/Jay Dee" Yancey. Amp Fiddler's warm, expansive, mellifluous music takes stylistic cues from all these encounters, but emerges as earthy, supremely relaxed, and rooted in the funk & soul to which Amp Fiddler feels most connected. Amp Fiddler recently swept the 2007 Detroit Music Awards as a winner in 3 categories and he has no plans of stopping. Following the strong worldwide release of Waltz Of A Ghetto Fly, the new album Afro Strut finds Amp Fiddler stepping onwards and upwards as he continues to define his own very singular, smooth style of funk, soul, electronica and dance.

Redwood Shores, Calif. - The Stanford Varsity Women's eight won by decisive margins both Saturday and Sunday at the inaugural Windermere Collegiate Rowing Classic.

1. Virginia 6.41 1. MSU 7.09 1. OSU 6.50 2. Stanford 6.53 2. Stanford 7.25 2. Stanford 6.55
The varsity four, comprised of three novice rowers, a senior rower and a sophomore coxswain had three solid races as they gained valuable race experience during the three race competition.

1. Virginia 7.32 1. MSU 8.13 1. OSU 7.26 2. Stanford 7.50 2. Stanford 8.22 2. Stanford 7.48

I'm not a native english speaker. I have been taught in school that if you use a comma, you should not use
and after it.
I went to university, my university teacher said the same and if he said that if i don't follow that rule, I'll fail my Toefl exam.
I was reading the FAQ of this website and i saw this
Writers Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for authors, editors, reviewers, professional writers, and aspiring writers.
According to my teachers, it's a mistake, the sentence should be like this
... professional writers and aspiring writers.
But you guys know more than me since you are native speakers, so what why was i taught this rule in the first place and why does the Toefl mention it?

Another Discovery...
Ok i have just found some new odd mode called Uber. you can play as hot1g_uber and kas2c_uber in your servers. I have not tried kas2c_uber yet but i have tried hot1g_uber, and it crashes after a few minutes into the game. Basically what it is is 250 ai vs 250 ai with objectives
Whoa.... thats uber. "hot1g" is hoth, right? Do you know why it crashes?
no..its odd, i think it was designed for another platform, because i also found another mode dag1c_smuggler which is a mode for psp, so Uber mode could be anything. its odd though, its something modders might find interesting
What's smuggler? Does it work?
Uber mode is for maps with large amounts of bots (XL on PC). Smuggler is the same as conquest on the PC (at least thats what other people).
Ok. Is uber like super XL?
yes w/ objectives, but it only works for the first few momments of the game.
Have you figured out why it crashes? Is it just because there are too many bots?
i have no clue, but the odd thing is that ubermode is used in modding to allow conquests to have a lot of ai, its weird
Wierd. I still don't understand smuggler.
Just tried uber once on kshyyyk. Wow, lotsa wookies!
I think uber is campign mode.

Marvin glider windows provide all the simplicity and reliability of a glider window, along with Marvin's made-to-order quality. Glider window sashes simply slide horizontally on the window sill, offering maximum natural light. Glider windows are excellent space savers when compared to windows with swinging sashes, especially when opening up onto a deck or patio.
Marvin's glider windows are made from naturally, energy efficient wood and can be clad in a commercial-grade, extruded aluminum finished with high-quality paint that is highly resistant to fading or chalking.
Another big plus for Marvin glider windows (as well as other Marvin windows) is that efficient Low E glazing comes standard. Other standard features include a half screen, bare wood interior, all-wood casing, and more. And remember that, because Marvin windows are made to order, you can always customize your windows when you order them.

A sword is a blade weapon used primarily for cutting or thrusting.

In the Medieval period, how long would an average swordsmith need to forge an average sword?
Based on this question over in RPG, I'm trying to figure out how long it took to forge a sword in the Medieval/Renaissance smith to make swords. I am recalling a figure of about 9-12 months per sword,...

They were touted as a group most likely to medal in Glasgow, but the Cayman Islands swimming team will be coming home empty-handed.Cayman wrapped up its aquatics portion of the XX Commonwealth Games in Scotland with no medals.
With Geoffrey Butler, Lara Butler, David Ebanks, Brett Fraser, Lauren Hew and Alex McCallum sporting an impressive collective resume that includes Olympic appearances, Island Games and CARIFTA swim championship medals, the lack of hardware this time around is surprising.
The history books will show Fraser, 24, produced the best results with a fifth place finish in the 50 meter butterfly finals and a berth in the 50m freestyle semi-finals, where he ended up seventh in his heat. Fraser, who was outdone by Olympians like Chad le Clos of South Africa at the Tollcross International Swimming Center, says losing at this level is no disgrace.
"It's just a matter of I've known these guys for a while, I've been racing them for a while," Fraser said. "Everyone's done their training, it's fun to compete against these guys. I see it as more of an opportunity to just race and get better."
After starring alongside his older brother Shaune at the 2008 and 2012 Olympics, Fraser barely fell short of making more history for Cayman. Fraser finished fifth in the 50m fly final in a time of 23.66 seconds, just behind England's Adam Barrett (23.43 seconds), bronze medalist le Clos (23.36 seconds), silver medalist Roland Schoeman of South Africa (23.13 seconds) and gold medalist Benjamin Proud of England, whose time of 22.93 seconds also set a new Games record.In the 50m free, Fraser would finish fourth in his preliminary heat with a mark of 22.79 seconds before posting a time of 22.87 seconds in the semis.
The only other swimmer to reach the latter stages of competition would be Hew, Cayman's youngest Games participant at 14 years old. She would place sixth in the 100m backstroke at 1:07.34 and be listed as a reserve for the semis and end up eighth in the 200m back at 2:27.16 before finishing fifth in the 50m back heats at 30.55 seconds and seventh in the semis at 31.08 seconds.
Prior to the 50m back semis, Hew said her team mates motivated her to perform well.
"I've been training quite hard this year and just to be here is pretty amazing," Hew said. "I think with the atmosphere here I've been dropping time because of that, with the crowd and being part of a team with Brett, who is an Olympian and stuff like that. I think that just made me swim a lot faster."
Another positive came from David Ebanks, a 32-year-old based out of Essex in England. In spite of placing second in the heats of the 100m breaststroke at 1:08.36, he missed out on the semis due to his time. From there, he would finish sixth in the 50m breaststroke with a mark of 30.04 seconds.
On the flip side, it would seem nerves got the best of three bright Under-21 prodigies in the Butler siblings and McCallum. During his heats, Geoffrey Butler was seventh in the 1500m free at 16:14.39; sixth in the 400m free at 4:06.78 and second in the 200m free at 1:57.13 (he missed out on the semis due to his time). Geoffrey Butler, 18, said after his 1500m swim that it was a forgettable showing on his part.
"It (the 1500m) was two seconds slower than my best so it was OK," Geoffrey Butler said. "My best is my best so I can't be too upset about that. You always want to do better and I only had one personal best this meet so it wasn't my best meet. I don't have that many excuses really, there's no point putting excuses out there. Maybe just train a bit harder next year and hope for the best."
During her heats, Lara Butler was eighth in the 100m back at 1:08.37, eighth in the 200m Individual Medley at 2:27.49, seventh in the 100m fly at 1:05.69 and seventh in the 200m fly at 2:22.53.Lara Butler, 19, said the spotlight did affect her.
"I'm thinking a lot of it is nerves going in," Lara Butler said. "People here are like really, really good and tops in the world and in the call room, you seem them all getting ready. It's cool being able to race them all but it's scary at the same time."
During his heats, McCallum was eighth in the 50m back at 28.27 seconds, eighth in the 100m back at 1:01.22 and fifth in the 200m back at 2:13.87.McCallum, 20, said after the 200m back that he was not fully fit for his races.
"I just didn't really feel the water very well," McCallum said. "I struggled the whole way through. I wasn't feeling too confident about my swim but oh well, it's just one of those bad days. You got to get back up and train stronger for next season. It's my first big competition so I was a bit nervous really. It was one good swim and a couple of bad swims but it's just another meet and I struggled. Leading up, I was a bit ill before – like three weeks ago. So who knows, if I wasn't sick it may have been different."

A Sunwing flight sounds like it had the climax of a comedy movie being filmed in its passenger cabin, but this was no comedy when it included two U.S. fighter jets as escorts. Two women were not acting very lady-like after chugging down a good amount of their duty-free alcohol purchases in the bathroom of the plane. After one too many they were in rare fighting form, according to News Max on Aug. 28.
The women were on a flight from Toronto to Cuba when they slipped into the bathroom and polished off a bit too much of the duty-free alcohol they had purchased. One of the women lit a cigarette, apparently you can't have cocktails without a cigarette if you are a smoker.
The BBC News reports that the lit cigarette set off the smoke alarm and along with this disturbance, the two spilled out of the bathroom whacking at each other and pulling hair. The drunken brawl ended with a threat against the airline. The threat wasn't considered credible given their inebriated state, but airline regulations dictate however slight, the threat must be reported.
Norad deployed two fighter jets because of that threat, which is something they do as a precautionary measure to monitor the situation from the air. The plane was rerouted back to Toronto where the drunken buddies were escorted off the plane by authorities as a roaring round of applause from the other passengers supplied the background music!
The two Ontario women were identified as Melana Muzikante, 26, of Vaughan. Lilia Ratmanski, 25, of Whitby. Both women are out on $2,500 bail, but their legal journey is far from over.
That was one night of partying these women will not soon forget as the charges are something that will never go away. They were charged with mischief endangering life, uttering threats and mischief over $5,000. The investigation is still in process as authorities interview the other passengers to piece together just what happened aboard this Sunwing flight.

Portland has a wealth of creative and inspiring restaurants, which makes it even harder to choose which to visit during Portland Dining Month. Which of the 90 restaurants offering 3-course menus for $29 in March would I choose first? I last ate at West End Spanish/modernist Ración Open Kitchen + Bar during their pre-opening preview dinners. As chef Anthony Cafiero celebrates the one-year anniversary of it's opening, it was definitely time to return.
The restaurant has been evolving through its first year, changing the seating in the lounge area to accommodate more diners. But we asked to be seated at the horseshoe-shaped kitchen bar, which is the heart of the restaurant. Chef Cafiero works his magic in the all-electric kitchen. Circulators let him create sous vide delights. Acetylene torches are available to sear the amuse bouche. You watch and are welcome to ask questions and learn about their cool tools.
The cocktails and wine list are also a draw. Chauncey Roach demonstrated the right way to shake the shaker. I had a Hemingsway's Blood with smoked Bacardi 8, grapefruit, Cherry Heering and Carpano Antica. One of my companions enjoyed his first experience of the Basque txakoli wine.
The usual 5-course tasting menu was printed on paper in front of each bar stool, and our server pointed out the 3-course variation for Portland Dining Month. We would miss only the scallop crudo and the dessert (but could buy the dessert separately). The rest of the menu available are the racions, small plates. We all opted for the 3-course Dining Month variation.
First: Soup. This varied from what was on the Portland Dining Month listing, but was excellent. The bottom of the bowl has powdered browned butter, parsnip chip and smoked olive oil. Then the soup was poured over it. We debated whether to stir and eat or to eat and enjoy the elements as they cropped up in each mouthful. The potato skins were extracted as well as the flesh, giving the soup an earthy dimension.
Second: Sous vide egg on couscous with curry, spinach butter and chickpea cracker. The egg has been cooked in the circulator to a silky firmness throughout. I mixed it a bit with the other elements to get a bit of the crunch of the cracker with the texture of the couscous and flavors of the butter and curry. I enjoyed it.
Third: Wagyu Culotte Steak with heirloom carrots, smoked apple cider and watermelon radish. We all agreed that this was outstanding. The steak was cooked sous vide, retaining all of the juices while allowing it to be gently cooked throughout. Then it was seared on the plancha for a nice finish. The smoked apple cider gel was a fantastic accompaniment, as was the carrot sauce. Simply a great dish worth the price of the entire dinner.
Dessert - this is an additional charge, and there is only one dessert, the chocolate ganache with pumpkin seed crumble, malted ice cream and burnt orange. One of our party had it and loved it. I had a different variation last time I was at Racion and enjoyed it.
The ingredients for these modernist cuisine creations are locally sourced. Cafiero lists Gathering Together Farms, Foods in Season, Sheridan Fruit Co., Prairie Creek Farm, Cascade Organic, GroundWorks Organics, Nicky USA, Snake River Farms, Viridian Farms and Dancing Roots Farm as sources.
Portland isn't all pork belly and pickles, it has a growing number of modernist chefs who like to expand the range of culinary techniques. Ración is a playful and experimental place. Open your mind and palate to see what combinations come from Chef Cafiero.

The development of breast cancer has a life-long impact on a women, even among those that are fortunate enough to not suffer a recurrence. A new study evaluate the prevalence and severity of menopausal symptoms in breast cancer survivors six years after their diagnosis. The findings were published online on March 10 in the journal Menopause.
The study group comprised 1,683 women who were recruited within 12 months of diagnosis with an invasive breast cancer. The women completed an enrollment questionnaire and five annual follow-up questionnaires. Included in the study were women who, at the fifth follow-up exam, had not suffered recurrent breast cancer or a new primary breast cancer (active disease) and were no longer taking oral adjuvant endocrine therapy (OAET). Women who had previously been recruited for a study of sex steroid levels served as a control group. The investigators evaluated menopausal symptoms were with the Menopause-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (MenQOL).
On average of 5.8 years after diagnosis, 843 women without active disease and not taking OAET completed the fifth follow-up questionnaire, Most of the women had stage I (59.5%) and hormone receptor-positive disease (77.9%) at the time of diagnosis and were postmenopausal (92.8%). Women aged 50 to 59 years were more likely to report any symptoms and more severe symptoms than both older and younger women. The researchers found no independent impact of chemotherapy on MenQOL vasomotor (hot flashes) and sexual domain scores. Women with breast cancer were found to have a significantly higher vasomotor domain and sexual domain scores than the women in the control group.
The authors concluded that vasomotor and sexual symptoms are highly prevalent in breast cancer survivors; furthermore, they are not simply a function of OAET or chemotherapy. The investigators noted that, given the adverse impact of these symptoms, effective interventions should be conducted to alleviate them in women who have completed their breast cancer treatment.
Take home message:
This study contradicts a study published last August in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. It found that over time breast cancer survivors returned to a quality of life comparable to women who had not suffered the devastation of breast cancer. A total of 285 women with breast cancer were included in the study, on average 12.5 years post-diagnosis. One can deduce from the new study that many breast cancer survivors do not enjoy a good quality of life. Thus, breast caner survivors who fall into this category should seek professional help from a gynecologist.

I was studying in Cairo for the summer, trying to improve my not-so-great Arabic. A few weeks into our time there, my roommate and I decided to go for a shop in the marketplace in the middle of the day.
Both of us had been making a conscious effort while in Egypt to dress conservatively – loose trousers, baggy shirts, nothing "provocative" by Egyptian standards. (Something that quite a few Western tourists never bother doing). In our naivety, we assumed that by dressing in a culturally respectful way, we would be treated respectfully.
Anyways, we were walking through the marketplace when this man began following us, muttering sexually suggestive phrases in Arabic at us (never imagining, I'm sure, that both of us understood full well what he was saying). We ignored him, darting in and out of shops to try and shake him off. He just hung around outside them, waiting for us to come out.
Eventually, he came up behind me and began rubbing his pelvis against me, and groping my butt. I managed to shake free of him, and then he did the same to my roommate. Unbelievably, he came up behind me AGAIN to try for another feel, at which point I elbowed him as hard as I could in the stomach. As I turned around, I saw him looking at me with this expression of mingled fury and hurt – as though somehow, he'd been doing me a tremendous favour, and I was the one behaving outrageously.
Another time, early in the morning, I had a guy follow me for about an hour. He followed me all the way to my classes, leering, catcalling, calling me a whore in Arabic – all at 8 o'clock in the morning. All I had done was hold a door open for him as I went out of a coffee shop.
I'm sure everyone now is aware of just how bad the sexual harassment problem in Egypt is, but I just want to go on record as having said the following: it doesn't matter what you wear, it doesn't matter if you speak any Arabic, it doesn't matter how many people you're with, and it doesn't matter what time of day it is. If you're a woman in Cairo (particularly a Western woman), men will follow you, make comments, and call you a whore – and it has to stop.
Author comments are in a darker gray color for you to easily identify the posts author in the comments
I know how it is in Egypt. I am Egyptian. Everyone has something to say or something to do when you're a woman in Egypt. I have some horror stories of my own of course. Being a woman in Egypt/Cairo/Alexandria means limited access to the outside world if you want to protect yourself. Limited transportation modes, limited areas to visit, limited entertainment venues, restaurants, etc. You have to surround yourself with a group of people you trust and move around with them. Dudes are a must in any group. They will surround you and scare the a$$holes away.
The newest thing now is actually tearing women's clothing off of them in a mob rape scene. Often and repeatedly.

Drag Racing is a family affair, and here's one for the memory books and possibly a noteworthy next few days at the Smith dinner table. NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle rider Angie Smith captured her first career professional victory over her husband and teammate, defending NHRA Pro Stock World Champion Matt Smith, during the 2nd Annual Auto-Plus NHRA New England Nationals at New England Dragway in Epping, N.H.
The husband and wife final marked the first time in the history of NHRA professional competition that a Mr. and Mrs. have faced-off for the title. With a sizable hole-shot margin (0.090 second reaction to Angie's 0.238 second), Matt Smith had taken an early lead in the race, before he lost traction at the top end of the racetrack and slowed allowing Angie to thunder past for the win. Angie posted a 6.905 second elapsed time (E.T.) at 191.89 mph on her Kandy Magazine sponsored Buell, to hubby's losing 7.230 at 145.99mph.
"In this sport, I'll take it any way I can get it," said Angie Smith (via NHRA) "It's my first one, I'm proud to be here. I'm really tired of dusting all of [Matt's] Wallys. I at least want to dust one of mine at the house. Now I have one, and I'm good with that."
Angie had no easy road to the finals, also defeating current hot-streak Screamin' Eagle Vance & Hines Harley Davidson teammates, Eddie Krawiec and Andrew Hines. After taking a solo victory over Jim Underdahl in round one for a no-show, she dispatched Krawiec in round 2 with a hole-shot, running a 6.896 second E.T. at 192.49 mph to his losing 6.892 second E.T. at 197.25 mph. Angie then sent Andrew Hines packing in the semi-final round with a 6.908 second at 193.77 mph performance, to the losing Hines 6.921 second, 192.33 mph pass, also taking the hole-shot in that pairing.
Angie Smith currently sits at number eight in the NHRA Mello Yellow Pro Stock Points Championship Chase with 228 points, -254 behind points leader, Andrew Hines.
The team heads next to the NHRA O'Reilly Auto Parts Route 66 Nationals, June 26-29 at Route 66 Raceway in Joliet, Illinois.

cmd and regedit wont work!

lolz... Youve never met W32.Alcra.A? anyone who has run p2p like limewire or kazza without protection meets this gem, or one of its relatives (also sneaks in with files that have done the rounds on p2p.) I met it many times in the ole days
hmm could be that. ive used limewire before
OK. we've establised that they are not .com files... next !
i should point out: i think that i tried running cmd through start>accessories>command prompt once, and i think it came up as .com... im not sure. but now it doesnt run at all.
i ran sfc and its asking me for the os cd...
that computer of mine is an ex office computer, and when i got it i got the computer, a mouse, and a keyboard. no xp cd!
the os is completely legal, its just that i dont have the cd. :/
now im 98% sure theres a bug in that comp of mine. i have a usb flash drive that i use to shuttle files from an online comp to my one. i took it with me to a friend's place and when he stuck it in his computer, his norton popped up saying there was a trojan on my flash drive. his norton put it in quarantine. all the threat meters were at maximum, saying it was a very dangerous.
the trojan was in a file called autorun.pif
whenever i stick the drive into my vista, as always it asks me what to do with the drive. included in the options is
run autorun.pif
, which of course i never click. i tried scanning it with avg, and it didnt come up with anything. now, i just formatted my stick just to make sure, before using it to transfer the trend micro scanner. and now autorun.pif isnt there anymore. i always keep avg, spybot, and windows updated, but they didnt pick it up.
the question is, is this bug the culprit for messing with cmd and regedit?
[edit] ok, now im 100% sure that bug is on the offline comp... i just put the three files for sysclean on the usb stick right after formatting, and stuck it in the offline comp, opened up the drive, and there were the three sysclean files... and a random fourth folder called "recorded TV"
) when i stuck back into the online comp (which is a laptop btw... its easier to say) and lo and behold, autorun.pif is an option again! so i deleted the sysclean on my computer(which i shall call the IBM, because its an IBM and its also less tedious to say) and formatted the usb stick on the laptop again, looked to make sure there was nothing in it, put it back in the IBM, then back to the laptop and autorun.pif is back. it seems to be put on the moment the drive is insertes into the infected computer.
ok, i ran the scanner it scanned, and it found 3 files with viruses. it was set to automitacally fix problems so the bug is gone? not sure.should i attach the log file?
hmm, im lookin at the logfile and i think i have the winxp dll folder already on my IBM... ill have to check.
but i still need regedit to make it work lol.
3. Try an xp repair install. If you are not sure what that is here is a newbie user friendly How to I dug up for you
lol im not a noob,
but i suppose i come off as one with all those screenshots and all... actually, i dont usually do that. i just feel sreenie happy right now
hmm, in kotor terms id be like, a lvl 12 computer geek or something. (lvl cap 20)
but its good the tutorial for noobs: i havnt done it before and simpler is always better. ususally id google the problem, get referred to some forum and follow instructions etc. but since LF has its own tech forum, and also sometimes when you google you dont find the exact same problem as yours, i went with LF. (and to test you guys out
** I am curious though Jesus, what is that altered theme - what app is it running from (eg, windows blinds?) and more importantly, where did it come from? Its just that its remarkably likely for that to be the culprit as the file that allowed the bug to hitch a ride onto your offline pc....
a them from deviantart.
i actually found out about it from
(scroll down to "give xp that vista look")
i used uxpatcher. it says if you want the original file back, just run the patcher again.
mfw I read the Revan novel
it is not a cry of joy.
