Be A Player Mentor
Practice conversationOne of the easiest ways to mentor a Player is to practice holding conversations. If your apprentice can't converse (and more importantly listen), he'll find his game is only as big as his mouth.
The best way to practice conversation is by talking with women in non-pickup (i.e., non-sexual) scenarios, such as ordering at a restaurant or riding the bus. The intention is not to win a date, but to become comfortable enough to strike up a quality conversation anywhere. This will help develop a Player's ability to not just talk, but also to listen and carry a conversation past the awkward introductions.
Train him to think of women differentlyEver hear of Occam's Razor? It's a theory that states the simplest answer is usually the right one. When applied to the idea of seduction, it means that women are not these mythical creatures — they are people like you and me, and as such, over-analyzing women as well as your game will lead you down the wrong path.
Teach your mentor how to think with a simple frame of mind, and look at women differently. For example, if there is an attractive woman who has all the perfect qualities, be a Player mentor and get your student to approach with the "glass-half-full" mentality.
Accept failureThere's no shame in getting turned down — it happens to the best of us. Players are not the sex object every woman wants; there are some who will just plain not take the bait or warm up to you at all.
Put your Player-in-making into situations where failure is probable. For example, when there's a group of women that are taking the party by storm and are mowing down every guy who comes near them, send him in. A rejection is probably at hand, but it will teach him how to rebound faster and not harbor lingering guilt or regret for the next pickup.
class dismissedThe pickup is both a combination of a science and an art, and the truly successful Players have found that healthy balance. Having a mentor is probably the most effective way to learn those necessary skills. However, it's only your job to get your apprentice to the party; he's the one who has to walk through that door. Therefore, if you want to be a Player mentor, you can play an important part in bringing a would-be Player to success.

Oh wow, how hot was the mummification scene!! As mummification is one of my favourite activities, I was just drooling over this bit of the movie. What was the tape you used please? It looked like it was a form of cloth tape? It was also great to see a girl with some fighting spirit that has to be tamed. There's nothing quite like a 'battle' to get each other hot ;) Thanks for this movie guys, it was a beauty!
|May 26, 2004
*shudder* OMG! From one who has a fire phobia, that scene with the cage and the fire made me shiver and shake. Nightmares for me tonight I think!
|Apr 10, 2004
Great work guys, loved it! You have some wicked, deviant minds, which is just perfect for what we do in BDSM, and what we love to see in BDSM :) Loved the breast bondage scenes too and to tatsucat, trust me, there ARE some women out there, myself included, who *really* get off on having our 'breasts tied and beat on'. As for being 'forced into hard bondage', YES PLEASE and the tighter and more restrictive, the better!! *drool* Keep up the good work everyone :)
|Feb 21, 2004
Fantastic work guys! What a great idea, a tutorial to show all those out there watching these movies of yours, just HOW to do the ties you do. And the fact that it is a FREE bonus update is even better! I know *we* appreciate the fact you have gone to this trouble of creating a turorial and we hope you plan to do a LOT more of them as it would be very beneficial to a lot of people I am sure. Keep up the good work guys, there are those of us out there who DO appreciate it and are not just looking for fucking/cumming movies like some people obviously are :)
|Jun 5, 2003
OMG! The scenes with the split chair, breast pumps, electric shock and that *awesome* gag made me squirm so much I nearly slid off my chair! I think I'd give anything to be put in such a 'position' as that, every time I think of it I go all goooey and with the yummy yummy cane to add to it all, *swoon* wow, I'm lost for words. Think it's time to have words with my Master about THIS one ;)
|Oct 29, 2002
I must say that I was going to leave a note (similar to the one directly above) but it seems that my katie has already expressed what we think of this. Lets just say that we believe that these are the clips that were paid for, and everything else is a bonus. Now to find an electric motor suitable *scratches head* Please keep the Bondage/Machine/Pumps formular in mind (gags don't hurt either)
|Oct 26, 2002
This is the hottest movie I think I've ever seen in my life and just thinking about it makes me wet! It gave my Master and myself some wicekd ideas! Keep up the great work guys and give us heaps more like this movie, especially with those fantastic breast pumps *drooooool*

IMF Executive Board Concludes 2012 Article IV Consultation with Equatorial GuineaPublic Information Notice (PIN) No. 13/37
March 28, 2013
Public Information Notices (PINs) form part of the IMF's efforts to promote transparency of the IMF's views and analysis of economic developments and policies. With the consent of the country (or countries) concerned, PINs are issued after Executive Board discussions of Article IV consultations with member countries, of its surveillance of developments at the regional level, of post-program monitoring, and of ex post assessments of member countries with longer-term program engagements. PINs are also issued after Executive Board discussions of general policy matters, unless otherwise decided by the Executive Board in a particular case. The staff report (use the free Adobe Acrobat Reader to view this pdf file) for the 2012 Article IV Consultation with Equatorial Guinea is also available.
On January 11, 2013, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) concluded the 2012 Article IV consultation with Equatorial Guinea.1
Driven by hydrocarbon extraction, which accounts for about three-quarters of estimated gross domestic product (GDP), Equatorial Guinea has the highest level of per capita income in sub-Saharan Africa. Over the last five years, a burst in public investment under the 2008–20 National Development Plan (NDP), largely financed by hydrocarbon revenue, has upgraded transport and power infrastructure and established several national prestige facilities. The resulting stimulus to construction is estimated to have helped raise average growth rates in the non-hydrocarbon sector to about 15 percent.
Reducing poverty and generating sustained productive private sector activity remain urgent challenges. The most recent poverty estimates suggest that three-quarters of the population were living below the national poverty line in 2006. Reflecting high government sector demand and limited production capacity, inflation has remained above the regional convergence criterion (3 percent), eroding external competitiveness.
Higher oil prices restored the overall fiscal balance to a small surplus in 2011 despite government capital spending levels that continued to exceed non-hydrocarbon GDP. The external current account also improved, but remained in deficit because of high imports of capital goods and hydrocarbon earnings to overseas parent companies. The external deficit was largely financed by foreign direct investment. The government deposited CFAF 474 billion at the Bank of Central African States (BEAC) and other government foreign currency deposits, held at commercial banks in contravention of regional surrender requirements, fell sharply.
Perceptions of an unwelcoming business climate continue to deter investment in the non-hydrocarbon sector and broader governance issues remain of considerable concern to the international community. Limitations on civil society participation undermined Equatorial Guinea's unsuccessful candidacy in the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI). Macroeconomic and socio-demographic data are also deficient in quality, timing and coverage, and even the most basic data are very hard for the public to access.
With hydrocarbon production now past its peak, according to official projections, the outlook for GDP is slow or negative growth over the medium term. To address fiscal and external sustainability concerns, fiscal policy will need to target a declining path for the non-resource primary fiscal deficit, which stood at 130 percent of non-hydrocarbon GDP in 2011. There should nevertheless be room for higher pro-poor current spending because government investment is expected to be significantly lower in the next phase of the NDP.
Executive Board Assessment
Executive Directors noted that, despite substantial revenues from oil, natural gas, and derivative production, reducing poverty remains an urgent challenge. Accordingly, Directors encouraged the Equatorial Guinea authorities to improve policy frameworks and undertake further reforms in a variety of areas to promote inclusive growth and bolster the business environment.
Directors considered that the adoption of a transparent medium-term fiscal framework would anchor spending decisions in the face of oil price volatility and the expected decline in hydrocarbon production. They recommended targeting a path for the non-resource primary balance that would establish fiscal buffers and reflect financing and absorption constraints. In this context, Directors saw the need to reduce public investment levels, rebalance public spending toward social programs, better target subsidies, broaden the revenue base, and enhance tax collection. More broadly, they encouraged the authorities to strengthen public financial management.
Directors agreed that scaling down public works after the recent surge would safeguard external stability. They observed that infrastructure-related imports are a major factor in the high deficit in the external current account. At the same time, the pressure on domestic demand has kept inflation rates above those in other Central African Economic and Monetary Community (CEMAC) member countries, leading to a substantial appreciation of the real effective exchange rate and a loss of external competitiveness.
Directors welcomed Equatorial Guinea's recent contributions to the regional pool of official foreign exchange reserves, but noted that the bulk of the government's foreign currency deposits remains outside the BEAC. They urged the authorities to hold these deposits at the BEAC to comply with the monetary union's surrender obligations.
Directors underscored that improving the business climate is critical to fostering private sector participation in the economy and broad-based growth. They called for stepped up efforts to strengthen governance and improve workers' skills and health. Promoting greater access to credit for small- and medium-sized enterprises should also be a priority. Directors looked forward to Equatorial Guinea's reinvigorated efforts to participate in the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative.
Noting the persistent inadequacy of economic statistics, Directors encouraged the authorities to participate in the General Data Dissemination System and establish a publication timetable for macroeconomic data.

Just a little story - (And I am married to a DH, not a duh)
First baby - I had to have a c/s. After birth, I got to give her a quick kiss and didn't see her for 3 HOURS. Although nobody held my DD before me, everyone saw her and got video of her in the nursery before I truly got to see and hold her. I was so upset. We vowed not to call anyone until after the birth of our next baby.
Second Baby - We told no one we were being induced (went for a VBAC - ended up in a RCS) and nobody was called or allowed to come to the hospital until I was mobile. I was the first to see my DS, hold him and it was awesome.
Posting from my phone or kindle so please excuse the typos!!!
DD - 8/9/07 DS - 7/30/11 ( .Y.) Golden Boobies for both!
please remember that your DuH is optional in all of this. If you dont think he will be supportive and defend you from them and their crazy, then he is not a necessary part of the process. he can stay home.
mom to lots of kids, lots of step kids, and too many migraines.
You need to put the fear of god in your DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I never say this lightly but in this situation I think the divorce word is warranted.
He is going to let his parents in your home while you are in the hospital. Then suprise when you get home, they will already be there and nothing you can do about it.
You need to have a back up plan of where to go when you come out of the hospital. A hotel, family, something.

Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity!
I thank God that I said no visitors on this one day. I had to pee, I handed DD over to DH to use the potty. I walked into the bathroom and splash!! I peed everywhere, I didn't even feel it come out of me. I had to mop the floor, shower, then feed my ebf DD who was crying the whole time.
Imagine this happening to you with your MIL there in your single bathroom apartment. How embarrassing would that be?? I was embarrassed with just my DH seeing that.
Mama to Miss Evelyn Rose 10/12/12 :)

OP- listen to these women. Post partum is NOT the time for house guests!
Good luck with your talk with Duh & ILs.

and my Step- Diva (May 1998) ~
Remind your DUH that your cervix is an opening to your vagina and if he ever discusses your vagina with his family again you will post his erection status on Facebook.
Give him a good response to the question, how about " the baby will be here when she gets here. We will call when she is and let you know when we are ready for visitors . "
I just want to go out and defend new mommies from stupid, but probably well-meaning, family and friends. These posts really stress me.

OP you don't those assholes anywhere near you until at least 14 days PP. See how YOU and BABY feel before inviting anyone. I didn't let anyone hold LO for weeks and I still only let others hold him when I have to pee. He's 11 weeks and probably my only baby. Fuck everyone's expectations about holding my baby.
Sorry I'm reading the rest. I just get so made at women that forget how rough the PP time is!! This bitch has given birth at least once and only cares about herself/baby rabies.

Houston -- A few years ago, all that seemed to stand between the Houston Texans and the franchise's first playoff berth was a solid defense.
Frank Bush and his 4-3 defense just weren't the answer. The Texans ranked at or near the bottom in every major defensive category in 2010.
So Texans owner Bob McNair and Coach Gary Kubiak decided a change was necessary, shifting to the 3-4 defense and hiring defensive guru Wade Phillips to install his version of it.
It was a necessary move, but the timing couldn't have been more challenging. The Texans changed defensive philosophy the same offseason of a major labor rift between the NFL and its players. Wade had a new defense to teach but no players to learn it, because of the lockout that lasted until right before the start of training camp in 2011.
"We had pretty much everything working against us, too, with the lockout and not really as much time to get it down pat," Texans linebacker Brian Cushing said.
But somehow it worked out, and it worked out quickly with Wade making some dramatic changes. Defensive ends Mario Williams and Connor Barwin became outside linebackers and Pro Bowl cornerback Johnathan Joseph and safety Danieal Manning were brought in through free agency to improve the secondary.
It wasn't long before one of the worst defenses in the league was performing like one of the best. The Texans went from the 30th ranked defense in 2010 to second in one season.
Several NFL teams have shifted from the 4-3 to variations of the 3-4 defense with mixed success the past few years, but the Texans say the key to their smooth transition was Phillips and his ability to help the players understand the scheme.
The Saints, who play the Texans in a preseason game Sunday, are making the change to Rob Ryan's 3-4 defense this season.
"Wade's a great teacher. But at the same time, he keeps things simple," said Cushing, who is now in his third year in the defense as an inside linebacker. "He wasn't ever really too complex and he really taught us the right way how to do it. You play faster, you play with more confidence and therefore you're able to make more plays and just go out there and have more fun."
It probably wasn't a coincidence that the Texans made their first playoff appearance during Phillips' first season in Houston. Phillips, whose first defensive coordinator job was in 1981-85 with the New Orleans Saints under his father Bum Phillips, has become the master of the fast turnaround.
"Almost everywhere I've been it has been a quick improvement," Phillips said. "It's just a teaching process. The good thing I've been lucky to be with some good teams where we went to the playoffs that first year. Most of the time the defenses weren't good the year before, but the offenses helped you out."
As much as the Texans offense had helped the defense in the past, it was Phillips' unit that did most of the bailing out in 2011. Starting quarterback Matt Schaub went out with a season-ending injury in late November that season and backup quarterback Matt Leinart was lost after one half the next week, leaving the Texans' offense in the hands of rookie T.J. Yates.
The defense, which had suffereda major loss that season when Williams and even Phillips missed some time because of a sickness, came up big at the end of the season to help push the Texans into the playoffs. Phillips credits Joseph, Manning and then-rookie defensive end J.J. Watt for making huge plays.
"We had some players," said Phillips, who was replaced as defensive coordinator temporarily in 2011 by his longtime linebackers coach Reggie Herring. "We just had to move them around to the right spots."
Phillips said the key is figuring out what the players do best and then tailoring the scheme to their strengths.
"We just try to fit it to the players," he said. "If we have zone players we play zone, if we have man players we play more man. It sounds simple, but we try to do what the players can do and not what the coaches can think of."
The players say it goes back to Phillips and his ability to teach his defense.
"I think Wade's done a great job with us," Watt said. "I think he has a great plan and he knows how to use the guys he has. We trust Wade so much because he's been successful wherever he's been and he knows how to use the guys properly. He trusts us and he puts us in positions to have success, and then he gives us a little bit of freedom because he knows that we know what we're doing also."
Kubiak was surprised at the dramatic turnaround and also pleased.
"I think Wade and Reggie were the key because they have been together for long," said Kubiak. "And they felt like some of our personnel fit what they wanted to do so it made it quicker."
Phillips' scheme has been much more than a quick fix. The Texans maintained their defensive prowess last season as they made their second playoff appearance. The defense is expected to be just as strong this season despite the loss of Barwin, Williams and a couple of others along the way.
"We have a bunch of guys who have played a lot of years in this defense now and everybody's getting pretty comfortable with it," said Watt, who has blossomed into one of the best defensive lineman in the NFL. "And I think you're only going to see more progress with that because guys are comfortable and because you don't have to think about your assignment as much. You just go out there and let it loose."
Phillips said the trend to the 3-4 defense enables coaches to get more players comfortable in coverage on the field. It also lends to more versatility on what you can do on the front end.
"You have more people that can run, you're more mobile, and I think it gives you matchup problems offensively with seeing who is coming," Phillips said. "In the 4-3 they know who is coming, the four guys who have their hand on the ground almost every play. We have three guys with their hand on the ground but somebody else is coming.
"It's still a four-man rush and you are still covering with the same number of people and similar coverages. But on the front they don't know when they are coming or where they are coming from."

UFC President Dana White announced in a post fight press conference that UFC 91 brought in a $4.8 Million gate at the MGM Grand.
There were 14,272 attendees, each shelling out some of the highest prices ever for a UFC event. But the event will not go down as the UFC's bigest gate taking.
As always, a bunch of fighters got fight bonuses. Those fighters include Aaron Riley, Jorge Gurgel, Jeremy Stephens and Dustin Hazelett.
Each one of them added another $60,000 onto their salary for the night, which is still $5,000 dollars less than the fighters at UFC 90 got.
Fight of the Night
Aaron Riley vs. Jorge Gurgel.
The two fighters had an all out brawl which lasted the full 15 minutes and could of gone in either fighter's favor.
It was the only fight that made it to the end, forcing a decision, but fans in the MGM Grand applauded both fighters for their efforts.
Aaron Riley won the fight with a unanimous decision.
Knockout of the Night
A huge uppercut from Jeremy Stephens earned him these honors in his bout against Rafael dos Anjos.
It took Stephens until the third round to land the shot he had been waiting for. In the end though, the shot landed clean and Anjos was out before he even got close to the mat.
Demian Maia was not able to get a fourth consecutive Submission of the Night.
Instead, honors went to Dustin Hazelett, who got the second of his career.
Hazelett was able to get opponent Tamdan McCrory into an omo plata. Despite many attempts to escape, the fight ended with an armbar from Hazelett which got a quick tap from McCory.

NEW YORK — Don't try to friend MaLi Arwood on Facebook. You won't find her there.
You won't find Thomas Chin, either. Or Kariann Goldschmitt. Or Jake Edelstein.
More than 900 million people worldwide check their Facebook accounts at least once a month, but millions more are Facebook holdouts.
They say they don't want Facebook. They insist they don't need Facebook. They say they're living life just fine without the long-forgotten acquaintances that the world's largest social network sometimes resurrects.
They are the resisters.
"I'm absolutely in touch with everyone in my life that I want to be in touch with," Arwood says. "I don't need to share triviality with someone that I might have known for six months 12 years ago."
Even without people like Arwood, Facebook is one of the biggest business success stories in history. The site had 1 million users by the end of 2004, the year Mark Zuckerberg started it in his Harvard dorm room. Two years later, it had 12 million. Facebook had 500 million by summer 2010 and 901 million as of March 31, according to the company.
That staggering rise in popularity is one reason why Facebook Inc.'s initial public offering is one of the most hotly anticipated in years. The company's shares are expected to begin trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market on Friday under the ticker symbol "FB". Facebook is likely to have an estimated market valuation of some $100 billion, making it worth more than Kraft Foods, Ford or Disney.
Facebook still has plenty of room to grow, particularly in developing countries where people are only starting to get Internet access. As it is, about 80 percent of its users are outside U.S. and Canada.
But if Facebook is to live up to its pre-IPO hype and reward the investors who are clamoring for its stock this week, it needs to convince some of the resisters to join. Two out of every five American adults have not joined Facebook, according to a recent Associated Press-CNBC poll. Among those who are not on Facebook, a third cited a lack of interest or need.
If all those people continue to shun Facebook, the social network could become akin to a postal system that only delivers mail to houses on one side of the street. The system isn't as useful, and people aren't apt to spend as much time with it. That means fewer opportunities for Facebook to sell ads.
Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Internet & American Life Project, says that new communications channels — from the telephone to radio, TV and personal computers — often breed a cadre of holdouts in their early days.
"It's disorienting because people have different relationships with others depending on the media they use," Rainie says. "But we've been through this before. As each new communications media comes to prominence, there is a period of adoption."
Len Kleinrock, 77, says Facebook is fine for his grandchildren, but it's not for him.
"I do not want more distractions," he says. "As it is, I am deluged with email. My friends and colleagues have ready access to me and I don't really want another service that I would feel obliged to check into on a frequent basis."
Kleinrock says his resistance is generational, but discomfort with technology isn't a factor.
After all, Kleinrock is arguably the world's first Internet user. The University of California, Los Angeles professor was part of the team that invented the Internet. His lab was where researchers gathered in 1969 to send test data between two bulky computers —the beginnings of the Arpanet network, which morphed into the Internet we know today.

IDC: Mobile phone market growing, changing because of smartphone adoption
Feb 1st
The mobile phone market saw significant growth in the fourth quarter of 2010, much of which is owed to a consistent increase in smartphone adoption, according to research firm IDC.
According to the report, the global mobile phone market grew 17.9 percent in the fourth quarter. Shipments grew from 340.5 million units in the fourth quarter of 2009 to 401.4 million last year. Overall, compared to the fourth quarter of 2009, global mobile phone shipments grew 18.5 percent, the highest annual growth rate since the 22.6 percent in 2006, according to the report.
Expansion in the overall mobile phone market is the result of increasing smartphone adoption. Because of the services they offer, smartphones have proven tempting options to users looking to upgrade. This trend has significantly pushed growth in the global mobile phone market.
"The mobile phone market has the wind behind its sails," said Kevin Restivo, senior research analyst with IDC's Worldwide Mobile Phone Tracker. "Mobile phone users are eager to swap out older devices for ones that handle data as well as voice, which is driving growth and replacement cycles."
Especially in enterprise settings, data options and high-quality communications capability have made smartphones a priority for enterprise mobility management. With a number of different options available for enterprise smartphone adoption, the mobile phone market is likely to experience some fluctuation, according to IDC.
In the fourth quarter, Apple was unseated from its fourth position in the mobile phone vendor market, replaced by emerging Chinese manufacturer ZTE. These changes are common in a highly competitive market that has large customers in businesses vying for a variety of different smartphone options.
"Change-up among the number four and five vendors could be a regular occurrence this year," said Ramon Llamas, senior research analyst with IDC's Mobile Devices Technology and Trends team. "Motorola, Research In Motion, and Sony Ericsson, all vendors with a tight focus on the fast-growing smartphone market who had ranked among the top five worldwide vendors during 2010, are well within striking distance to move back into the top five list."
Currently, Nokia, which boasts the world smartphone market leading Symbian OS, holds a significant lead among manufacturers in the mobile phone market. However, the company's lead appears to be diminishing, as Nokia saw market share decrease by 2.4 percent during the fourth quarter while Samsung, the No. 2 manufacturer, increased by 17.3 percent.
With a variety of options available, and more businesses promoting the consumerization of IT and allowing employees to choose the device they want to use for enterprise mobility, mobile phone management solutions may become more important to help control corporate wireless spend.

China 3G retail adoption remains sluggish
Nov 26th
By the end of October, China has only 38.6 million 3G mobile phone users, accounting for a tiny proportion of the country's 800 million mobile base, the PCWorld reported on Thursday.
While more people in China are adopting 3G service on their mobile phones, the next generation network is still far from becoming mainstream among users, the report said.
China launched the 3G mobile network in January 2009, when its largest mobile operator China Mobile began offering 3G commercial services to retail users.
China Mobile said it would try to meet a government target of signing up 50 million 3G users by the end of the year, but so far has signed up only 16.9 million.
The country's two other mobile operators, China Unicom and China Telecom, have 11.6 million and 10 million 3G users respectively.
But even as more Chinese users are buying so-called smart-phones, some are choosing to stay with the older 2G networks, analysts say. When users look to upgrade to a 3G network, they ask if the pricing is right as more and more retail users are getting increasingly conscious of mobile expenditure.
People's Daily Online
China 3G Adoption Still Sluggish Among Mobile Users
Nov 25th
While more people in China are adopting 3G service on their mobile phones, the next generation network is still far from becoming mainstream among users in the country.
At the end of October, China had 38.6 million 3G mobile users, almost 300 percent up from a year earlier, according to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. However, that's only a small fraction of China's total mobile phone user base, which now stands at more than 800 million, according to official figures.
The country first launched its 3G next generation network in January 2009, when its largest mobile carrier China Mobile began offering 3G commercial services.
China Mobile said it would try to meet a government target of signing up 50 to 80 million 3G users to its network by the end of the year, but so far has signed up only 16.9 million. Analysts say even that figure is inflated, as it includes users of the company's "wireless wireline" phones, which connect via the 3G network but act more as landline phones.
The country's two other mobile carriers, China Unicom and China Telecom, have 11.6 million and 10 million 3G users, respectively.
"All of the operators had initially expected to have a considerably greater number of users by the end of 2010," said Mark Natkin, managing director of Beijing-based Marbridge Consulting. "I think for China Mobile, from the outset, that number would have been difficult, if not impossible to achieve. But even the other two operators had hoped to see a much brisker uptake."
Fewer 3G users means fewer customers using 3G data services, Natkin added. Telecom operators believe such data services can bring added revenue as users look to their mobile phones to download apps and entertainment on their handsets.
The availability of smartphones has been critical for that growth. But the phones are expensive, with many of the more popular brands at least 2000 yuan (US$300) or higher, something analysts see as the main stumbling block preventing many average Chinese consumers from buying a device.
Still, Apple's iPhone 4 has been an exception to that trend. With the 16GB version of the device priced at 4,999 yuan ($752), the iPhone 4 continues to sell out, two months after its official launch in China.
This has been good news for China Unicom, the sole mobile carrier of the device. The company reported this week that it had more than 600,000 pre-orders for the device, and that it could still not meet the demand.
One thing that helped China Unicom land the distribution rights to the iPhone was its adoption of the WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) 3G standard, widely used outside China. This has made it easier for companies like Apple to bring their devices to the carrier, and given China Unicom a stronger selection of smartphones, as the same phones sold elsewhere can be used in China.
China Mobile, however, uses the TD-SCDMA (Time Division Synchronous CDMA) 3G standard, a technology developed in China and not used elsewhere. As a result, a device like Apple's iPhone 4 cannot use China Mobile's 3G network, but instead only rely on its older 2G network.
"China Mobile has its albatross in TD-SCDMA. Nobody wants it," said Duncan Clark, chairman of technology consultancy BDA.
But this hasn't stopped China Mobile from trying to get people to use the iPhone 4 on its network. The carrier has been offering a service to alter customer's SIM cards so that they can fit within the smaller slot of an iPhone 4. But without access to a 3G network, users won't be getting the most out of their iPhone 4, analysts say.
"TD-SCDMA is basically imposing a burden. As networks get faster on WCDMA, people are more likely wanting to use their iPhone on that network," Duncan said. "China Unicom has a nice window to exploit the iPhone."
China Unicom is also taking the efforts to protect the purchases of its iPhones from being resold. Earlier this week, the company said it would freeze the deposits of customers who had signed a contract for an iPhone 4 if it was found that their handset was being used with a different phone number.
Still, Apple only occupies a small share of the smartphone market in China, at about 5.9 percent, according to Beijing-based research firm Analysys International. Nokia holds the largest share of the market, followed by Samsung, Motorola, and Sony-Ericsson. In the third quarter of 2010, sales in China for smartphones reached 17 million units, a 31.6 percent increase from the same period last year.
But even as more Chinese users are buying smartphones, some are choosing to stay with the older 2G networks, analysts say. When users look to upgrade to a 3G network, they ask if the pricing is right, as well as if the features and applications they can download on their handset are worth the costs, Natkin said.
"Many users seem to be answering that question by staying with 2G," he added.

Billed as a 'concoction of horror, eroticism and haunted electronics', Chicago filmmaker Rhys Bevan's experimental 3D animation Underfoot sees a snaking plug rejected by an incompatible socket and a trapped sinister conciseness making a bid for freedom. Or at least that's what I think happens, it's probably better if I just let Rhys explain it to you.
The initial concept for Underfoot came while I was still getting my BFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. At the time I was watching a lot of old Fleischer brother cartoons. Conceptually speaking, those films are amazingly layered and dimensional. The cute designs hide a world of anger, violence and poetry. I was also watching old expressionist films from the 30s and 40s. These two sources created the initial thrust of the project – an animation that would play off the cliche of the anthropomorphized object, but would bring forth the more formal and cinematic qualities of expressionist cinema. The concept from the beginning was about a relationship between an incompatible plug and socket, and a sleeping man in the room that enforces violence.
I was still learning the tools, and ultimately what I left school with was a half finished animated storyboard, some basic models and no score. Obviously, this was a far-cry from what I wanted. Being on my own at this point is when I really started to have fun. The project was no longer in the context of a class with deadlines, so I could afford to experiment with the piece more aggressively and ignore any idea of a 'production pipeline'. As a 3D artist, I can't stand the production pipeline. I have respect for it in the context of a large commercial project, where a conventional result is desired but personally speaking, I feel it enforces major constrictions on the true nature of 3D animation. In the case of my film, I wanted to continually shape and re-shape ideas and meanings right till the very end. 3D software can give you this freedom in a way live photographed material can't.
The ideas continued to layer in an organic way. The presence of the rocking horse came after watching the film The Rocking Horse Winner, the floating 'ball wigs' after seeing a photograph by Nina Leen. One of the final layers where augmented elements of Dziga Vertov's 1929 film Man with a Movie Camera – a film that exists in the Public Domain. I felt using shots from that film of machinery in motion was a good parallel, visually and conceptually to the violence of the plug attacking the socket.
Having had no musical training, the score was a result of pure experimentation in Logic Pro drawn out over the entire project. I have a Zoom H4N field recorder that I used to capture soundbites from a random selection of objects and even some rented instruments.
All these ideas where building towards the notion that the room itself is the main character and all the little characters within are fragments of something larger; a consciousness that wants to break out, be born anew, and be whole, even at the cost of violence and oppression.
Ultimately, it would take roughly 20 months after graduating to continue to learn the tools (Maya, ZBrush, Phototshop, Shake and Final Cut), and get the film to the place it needed be. I was freelancing the entire time, which also functioned as a way to better learn the software.
Making this was a true journey. I'm not the same as I was when I started, nor is the film. All the elements would slowly layer on top of one another and congeal. In retrospect the process felt more like growing something as opposed to neatly and efficiently carrying out a concept; like watching mold grow in a piece of tupperware in the fridge. In this regard I'm really happy with the result and the way I went about making this project. I'm content with my little patch of weird mold.
MarBelle has a strange compulsion to watch as many films as he can get his hands on and find jobs that give him a legitimate excuse to drill filmmakers about their work. Directors Notes is the latest incarnation of this disorder and so much cheaper than film school. Twitter: @MarBelle

L.A. Sensation Wolvesmouth Coming to NYC Next Month; Tickets on Sale Tomorrow
Craig Thornton will host four dinners in September for people lucky enough to get in.
Dinner Lab isn't the only out-of-town supper club coming to New York this fall. Wolvesmouth — the L.A. hit run by Craig Thornton — will be back in New York, hosting two seatings per night on September 13 and 14. (Thornton was also here back in June.) The good news is that tickets don't go on sale until tomorrow at 11 a.m. EST, so you've actually still got a shot at getting in.
For those who don't know, Thornton's food is defined for its casual creativity and technicolor presentation (as you can see in that photo of halibut up above — and you can see plenty more food here). Wait lists for his dinners in California can stretch to months or years. The New York dinners in September will be held in a 19th Street loft — attendees get the actual address closer to the dinner — and seatings will be at 7:30 and 10 p.m.
Head here to snag tickets. It will run attendees $165 plus fees for the nine-course meal — if that sounds like a lot of money, here's a seven-page New Yorker profile that might convince you to pony up.

'y' and 'là'
Can someone clarify for me the difference between these two words? On memrise, they're both defined as 'there', but I believe they're both very different words. Am I right in thinking that 'là' is only used to refer to a physical location? What circumstances would you use 'y' in?
là- there as in "over there" y - used to replace the noun? when you j'y suis etc?
this could be totally wrong but its just what came to me
Allons-y is literally "let's go there" in English. I'd tend to translate it as "let's get going" or "let's go" or maybe "let's get to it". Most other instances I can think of where you'd use y in French are similarly idiomatic, and you wouldn't say the same thing in English.
La is a lot more likely to be used for the sorts of "there" that an English speaker would care about.
Y also tends to feel a bit more casual to me. I probably don't use it enough or in the right way, because I have a hard time hearing it in spoken/sung French. La is a lot easier to hear, and shows up in lots of French songs.
I was always told that la was pretty much only used when you could physically point to 'there'...? Don't know if that helps or not?!
You all are pretty much right. Those 2 words are used with some kinds of rules but sometimes those rules are broken and you just have to learn the expression as it is. Mostly though 'la' (with accent) refers to a place and 'y' refers to the idea of 'it'. Here are a few examples: - Ou sont mes clefs? Elles sont la! - Where are my keys? They are there! - Je suis alle le voir mais is n'etait pas la - I went to see him but he wasn't there (not home). - Je suis alle as sa maison mais il n'y etait pas - I went to his house but he was not at it - Je suis alle au rendez-vous mais il n'etait pas la. Je suis alle au rendez-vous mais il n'y etait pas. Here both are correct however there is a very fine difference. The 1st version: I went to the meeting point but he was not at that point. The 2nd version: I went to the meeting but he was not at it, meaning not at the meeting. Why? Because rendez-vous can mean meeting point but also the action of meeting and also having a date. - D'accord, on y va - Ok, let's go for it - Qui veut allez chez Marcel? Moi, j'y vais - Who wants to go to Marce's (house)? Me, I'll go. In this case, even though the location is precise, we use 'y'.
It seems the rule would be that the word 'la' is used to refer to a place. 'La' replaces the meeting place, the table, the house, etc. On the contrary 'y' is associated to an action/verb. 'La' can be replaced by a noun and 'y' cannot. I.e. our previous examples: - Je suis alle au rendez-vous mais il n'etait pas au rendez-vous/la. Makes sense. - Je suis alle au rendez-vous mais il n'au rendez-vous/y etait pas. Doesn't make sense.

We need to assign each subscriber to our site a unique email address that will barely be used. What is the best way to do this? We could host it but may be better to be hosted elsewhere.
migrated from stackoverflow.com May 27 '10 at 19:17
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
The people suggesting Gmail or Google Apps aren't understanding your question/needs.
You need to explain how, specifically, the email addresses will be used even if it's not often. Are they only used by a self-managed internal service or are they somehow accessible to the users whose subscriptions are tied to the internal addresses?
We have a similar setup. We have nearly 30.000 accounts with a 20-30 % utilization rate. We use MDaemon. The main problem with this setup is the regular customer mailbox maintenance and customer-wide mailing operations which do a real hardware burden (mostly disk I/O). I think that we need some good customer analytics to find out who really and how uses their e-mail accounts.
1and1 has really good deals on hosting packages and email if you buy a domain.
If you do not want to host it then Google Apps provides email for your own domain and such.

This isn't the alphabet, but it'll do–if you were looking for a dis track about, oh, just about anything released or to be released in the past year, Game has you covered with "Uncle Otis." The thing's like one of those pop-song mashups, except that this is a dis track, so when you spot the song, it's in the context of lines like "Where's Frank Ocean? You could see my odd future — you gonna need more than Novacane after I shoot you."
Far be it for us to repeat the exhaustive explication Rap Genius contributors have already(!) given to almost every reference here, but at least Game is timely enough to get J.Lo and Marc Anthony's split in there. And both Beyonce and Kelly Rowland! (If "Love Gun" made it, we missed the reference.) We just have one quibble, though–which half of these people could Lupe Fiasco outdo? Dude isn't exactly on his A-game lately.

An overnight tip clued us in on a Chinese website that has listed AMD's new Radeon R9 290X GPU for sale at several online shops. Website Taobao.com has listed several XFX-branded R9 290X models for sale ahead of the official release that takes place tomorrow.
Pricing on the cards starts out at $703 and goes as high as $773. Interestingly enough, one of the models shown is the Battlefield 4 combo package that looks to retail for $723. The AMD Radeon R9 290X has a 512-bit memory bus to 4GB of GDDR5 RAM which is significantly faster than the other R9 series cards, making it what many are calling the Titan Killer. While that is yet to be seen, the truth shall be unveiled tomorrow.

Tomorrow is the Centennial celebration for Aston Martin in Kensington Gardens – and I am as excitied as a 10 yrar old – basically because I'm sick of the sight of ROJ in it's current state and am looking forward to seeing Astons with wheels, engines, paint etc etc!
Such is my excitment that I spent 5 hours yesterday cleaning and polishing the Ford for our motoring holiday to Yorkshire.
It was gleaming.
Until I went out this morning to find the aphids in the trees above had spent all night defecating all over it – I was livid, and have jsst spent another two hours washing it again.
I am having far too many Victor Meldrew types moments than i care for just now.

March 21, 2013 | Vol. 94, No. 67
BESSEMER — Gogebic County Prosecutor Richard Adams has authorized charges against the five people who were arrested early Tuesday morning for meth-making in two busts.
A house was raided at 525 Florence St. in Ironwood, followed by a second search of a residence on River Street in Ramsay.
Both busts were conducted by the Gogebic-Iron Area Narcotics Team, with the cooperation of other area law enforcement officers and the Upper Peninsula Substance Enforcement Team.
Arrested in the Ironwood raid were George Davis, 59; Kristin Carter, 31, and Wendy Hemmings, 40.
Davis faces three counts of operating or maintaining a methamphetamines laboratory, which are 20-year felonies. He is also charged with maintaining a meth lab within 500 feet of a residence and possession of meth. He was incarcerated in the Gogebic County Jail in Bessemer on $150,000 cash bond.
Hemmings faces the same charges as Davis and she was being held on an equal bond.
Carter is charged with one count of maintaining a meth lab, maintaining a meth lab within 500 feet of a residence and possession of meth. She was jailed on a $125,000 cash bond.
In the Ramsay bust, Cindi Christensen, 34, and Joel Graser Jr ., 35, are charged with two counts of operating or maintaining a meth lab, operating a meth lab within 500 feet of a residence and possession of meth. Their cash bonds are set at $165,000.
Officers collected numerous components that are used in the manufacture of meth, along with methamphetamines and other items, according to a GIANT news release.
Because of the hazardous and toxic nature of meth-making labs, a certified hazardous waste response team must remove the laboratory components and chemicals. The chemicals are then disposed of.
In Ironwood, two neighbors were evacuated because of their proximity to the meth-making operation and the propensity for a fire.
While that was an inconvenience for the neighbors in the early morning hours, an officer said he was sure that residents in that neighborhood were grateful for the enforcement action.
Firefighters were called to be on standby until the lab could be rendered safe.
GIANT officers said Wednesday there is potential for more arrests.

A full, final version of Killzone 3 has hit the internet a full two weeks before it's planned launch. The download is a whopping 41.5GB and is reportedly genuine and even includes Killzone 3's 3D mode. There's also a 'half-fat' version without the 3D support.
Killzone 3 is the second AAA title to be leaked after last weeks crisis which involved the leak of Crysis 2 on PC. The Killzone 3 download will only work on hacked PlayStation 3's which should halt a fair amount of people from playing it before the release.

It must be the child in me speaking, but I love it when food dresses up in unusual colors : blue bread! pink garlic! black tomatoes! green rice! red pesto! … and wow, purple potatoes!
I had heard of vitelottes potatoes before, and I had seen them used to make stunning potato chips in particular, but I had never seen them sold anywhere. Until recently that is, when I found them at the Gérardmer market — oh what incredible resources this humble little market has to offer.
When raw, the skin of these potatoes was black and rather thin, and the flesh inside was a pale purple, with uneven white flecks. I brushed them with my now famous potato brush, and steamed them for about fifteen minutes, until a knife could easily be inserted through them. The skin had turned a paler grey, while the flesh had gotten a deep shade of purple.
We then ate them quite simply, with just a little salt, to get the full, unperturbed experience of the authentic purple potato taste. I can't say we detected any particular purpleness of flavor though, they pretty much tasted like m… potatoes. But that's ok, really, the color alone is enough to make me happy!
And apparently, purple potatoes were the first variety ever grown, some 800 years ago in the Peruvian Andes, by the good people of the Inca empire, who served it as a special royal treat. And since the Peruvians are also the ones who brought ceviche to the world, well, I think a little trip to Peru — or more realistically a Peruvian restaurant — is highly in order!

The Daytime Emmys might not be on TV this year but they will certainly be a lot funnier. The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences announced that funny lady Kathy Griffin will host the two hour event that will be streamed live at DaytimeEmmys.net on Sunday, June 22nd beginning at 5:00 p.m.
"I am beyond thrilled to be hosting what I'm told is the most important television event of the year. Knowing that over 100 million people from every corner of the planet will be watching, I will try to keep my nerves at bay and deliver a great show," Griffin said. "I can only hope that at the end of the evening, critics and fans alike will compare it to the experience they once had watching Neil Armstrong take man's first step on the moon. My only regret is knowing that this epic evening will distract millions of viewers from enjoying this year's World Cup. I apologize to FIFA."
Griffin's quick wit and her often unfiltered routine will no doubt make for an interesting night. On television, Griffin and the Daytime Emmy producers would have to deal with network censors but online there is more freedom. Griffin should be in rare form in this setting.
"We are very excited to have Kathy leading our ceremony this year," said The Academy's Chairman Malachy G. Wienges. "She is a beloved figure in the community and we know that she will have audiences laughing the night away as we honor the brightest stars in our industry on a global stage."
The ultimate hostess, Griffin has hosted a number of events, including her own show "My Life on the D-List" which has earned her two Primetime Emmy Awards.

During the March 27, 2014 broadcast of his radio show, Rush Limbaugh commented on the recent major public corruption probe which resulted in several arrests, including that of California State Sen. Leland Yee and Charlotte, North Carolina Mayor Patrick Cannon.
A third FBI raid was held at New York Assemblyman William Scarborough's offices, who later told reporters that FBI asked questions about per diem reimbursements he received during his service in the state legislature.
According to Limbaugh, the FBI investigations into Democratic officials and subsequent arrests were likely part of a conspiracy by Democrats to "purge" the party before the November midterm elections.
"It is entirely possible that what is going on here is that the head honchos of the Democrat party [sic] are basically behind an effort to take out all of their bad apples before the election, make them old news by the time the election comes around," said Limbaugh. "The timing here is obviously curious and it really is hard to believe the FBI would be working against the wishes of the regime. Isn't it?"
This proves once and for all that there is literally nothing in the world that the right wing infotainment complex will not somehow distort into the grounds for a ridiculous conspiracy theory.
Leave it to Limbaugh to suggest that the arrest of Democrats was perpetuated by Democrats in order to benefit Democrats.

There's no real easy way to say this, so I'll just come out with it. Making a third party exclusive title is both counterproductive, and a waste of money. I know that'll fall harshly on fanboy ears, but it's the honest truth. No company can survive in this fiscal climate by creating games for one platform exclusively. Ted Price, creator of Insomniac Games, knows this just as well as any, which is why today his company announced their partnership with media giant EA on a "brand new universe and franchise."
But Insomniac was not the first former exclusive company to jump ship into the multi-platform waters. Almost two years ago, Square-Enix announced that their latest entry in the Final Fantasy universe would not be a Sony exclusive. Final Fantasy XIII sold so well on the Xbox 360 that the company is now considering porting the once exclusive Versus XIII onto Microsoft's gaming darling. And about a month ago, Microsoft's cash cow Bungie Entertainment announced a partnership with Activision that would put their newest games on the Playstation 3 for the first time.
Game companies live and die by the funding they are given to develop games. A company can't remain solvent by doing just one game at a time and receiving funding from one source alone. Image that you own a company that's been funded to make a game and once that game is completed you're not yet funded for its sequel or any others. You're now faced with laying off a portion of your staff while waiting for more money to come in. Where as if you had money coming in from multiple partners, like say Sony and EA, then you can keep your staff employed and keep making games. And now that companies like Insomniac aren't under pressure to release a game quickly to turn a profit, their games will "benefit from longer development cycles, which will directly benefit you, our fans."
I can recall a day when finding out that a once exclusive game was "going to the enemy" was enough to set off a fanboy rage unlike anything the internet has ever seen. But now, hopefully, when gamers read that their favorite developers are making games for the other side, they'll realize that this translates to better quality games for them as well.
