Maybe the third time will be the charm—for David Cassidy to get help. The 63-year old "Partridge Family" alum has been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, according to a January 11 report from CNN.
Cassidy allegedly blew twice the legal level – a whopping .19% -- on an alcohol test administered by a California Highway Patrol officer after he was stopped for making an illegal right turn near the Los Angeles International Airport. He was released on $15,000 bail and is scheduled to appear in court on February 5.
Unfortunately for the former teen idol, it's not the first time he's been busted for DUI.
Last August, Cassidy failed a sobriety test in New York after registering .10 in a Breathalyzer device when he was stopped at a routine checkpoint. The legal blood alcohol limit is .08 in New York.
And in 2010, he was convicted of driving under the influence test in Florida and was arrested as a first time offender. At the time, his brother Ryan Cassidy told Radar Online he was "shocked and surprised" by the arrest.
"I just spoke with David last week and he was doing fine actually," Ryan Cassidy said. "I am sure he will be okay though. He did not mention anything wrong, and there were no drinking problems that I know of."
With three DUIs in three states, Cassidy's definitely seen better days, but he's not the only "Partridge Family" alum to get into trouble with alcohol.
Danny Bonaduce, who played his younger brother on the '70s sitcom, had a long history of bad boy behavior, before finally cleaning up his act three years ago. On a 2013 episode of "Oprah: Where Are They Now?," Bonaduce said he credits his third wife, Amy, for his sobriety.
"January 10, 2011 was my last drink," Bonaduce said. "I couldn't imagine looking at Amy and cheating on her or lying to her. It would be disgraceful."

Snooping, Good or Bad?
Recently a few friends were sitting around having a conversation about snooping. The question was proposed, "Is it okay to snoop or when you should snoop?" Snooping is a violation of a person's personal. If you look up the word snoop in the dictionary this is what you get, "to investigate or look around furtively in an attempt to find out something, esp. information about someone's private affairs."
Let's talk about the word furtively, in Latin it means theft, fur. So when you snoop what are you stealing? Snooping is very sneaky and mischievous behavior. It violates the trust two people have with one another. When you act furtively there is a feeling of guilt because of our unconscious human emotions. Looking through someone's personal things puts you in place of mistrust which you may never again be able to recover from. Also often when people snoop they are never really prepared for what they find. Which is odd because if you are snooping you are expecting to find something, right? Then the question also becomes what exactly are you snooping for? Are you looking to see if the other person is being honest with you, are you trying to help them in some way, or are you looking to get proof they are cheating.
Being in a relationship or a marriage with someone does not give you a free pass to knowing every thought, conversation or idea someone has. By having some boundaries on what you share can make for a more healthy relationship. Don't you expect some level of privacy when you are in relationship someone? How would you feel if someone snooped on you? I am not saying walk around with blinders on. But as humans I do say let your instincts do the thinking for you. Be a grown up and ask very specific questions, not probing questions. Don't let past relationships rear their ugly head in your new relationship. No matter the gender we all have instincts, and can generally tell when something is not right. It is okay not to know everything about someone. Even in a marriage it is okay to have some secretes. As long as those secretes are not in a form meant to deceive or cause mistrust. A relationship should be built on openness, honesty, and trust, not pry, manipulation, and deception.
So the next time you decide to snoop ask yourself five questions. Am I prepared for what I find? What do I plan on doing with what I find? Could this have all been avoided by having a real conversation? Will I be okay if this person no longer wants to be in relationship with me? And lastly most important, how satisfied will I be if find nothing?

Puddings & Other Lovely Things
Homemade Lemon Curd
OK, we should rename this stuff. Because "curd" just doesn't do it justice. Lemon curd is a buttery, sweet and tangy, lemon-y sauce that you can use for a zillion things. Let me show you how to make it at home.
Homemade Dulce de Leche
I've always said that I don't have a sweet tooth. For the large part, that's true. I'll take a handful of salty pretzels over chocolate almost any day. However. Dulce de leche might be my undoing. It's seriously so, so, so good. I found myself tiptoeing over to the fridge with a spoon in hand. […]
Old-Fashioned Hot Fudge Sauce
Mmmm, homemade hot fudge sauce, just like Grandma used to make. (I'm gonna say this up front: It's not my fault if you sit down and eat a bowl of this with a spoon, ok?)
Drunken Coffee Jello Squares
OK, kids: This is coffee. In solid form. It's been sweetened with condensed milk and booze-ified with a healthy dose of Kahlua—then rubberized into a blissful, cocktail-hour finger food thanks to the magic of gelatin. Now, you have to like Jello, or Jello-like food, for this to work. If you do, you're in for a treat.
Marmalade Souffles (Plus Tips for Making a Perfect Souffle)
Chocolate Cream Pie
Sinfully Rich Chocolate Pudding
I have no excuses for this one. It's all chocolate, sugar, heavy cream, butter, and eggs. Grab a spoon and put on your fat pants. Move over, Jello. That's all I have to say.

Decadent Sweet Cream Rice Pudding
Rice has got to be one of my favorite foods. Fried rice. Buttered rice. Jambalaya. Rice crackers and krispies. You name it, I most likely have a closely-guarded stash of it in my cupboards. I especially love rice pudding. I can eat bowls of it at a time, which is why I don't make it […]dessert, how to make a double boiler, pudding, rice, rice pudding
Devil's Delight Chocolate Pudding Cake
I swear I'll post a salad recipe one of these days. I do eat green things. Honest. This cake is one of my all-time favorites. It's dense, moist, and rich. It's not a molten cake, but it's plenty gooey with pudding-y goodness (call it a cross between cake and fudge). It's bursting with four different […]cake, chocolate

Kids are never too young to send a Thank You note and the Holiday Season is a perfect time to encourage them to express their thanks to others around them.
Once the wrapping paper has been shredded and the tree lights turned off for the season, introducing your little one to a thank you note like the simple one I'm featuring here can be another positive experience.
This postcard is simple, inexpensive and attractive to a small one. Additionally, I would be tickled by receiving such a sweet little thank you from a child.
I like that this style of Christmas Thank You note gives a clear 'wording' path for a small one to follow. It keeps things straight forward, short and sweet which is what someone should look for in a Thank You card for a kid.
We want them to enjoy the experience so that they always reach for a Thank You card when it's time to show gratitude!
Holiday Thank you postcard for Kids pictured: Christmas Kids Thank You Pack of 8 Postcards-Santa Cheer via Amazon $6.95
- Package of 8 Thank You postcards
- Fun way for kids to say thank you for the presents! Just fill in the blanks

Everybody eats. And most of the time, we eat in places specifically constructed for the purpose of eating.
Often, we don't take the time to look around at these places when we're in them; we're busy with the important business of eating.
I was intrigued by the diverse nature of public eating places and that the way they were composed said volumes about the kind of eating which was expected to take place there: eating inside or eating outside, eating food that's fancy or food that's plain, having a meal or having dessert, eating quickly or eating leisurely, eating together with friends, with strangers, or eating alone.

It seems that to transition between each sector, I will need to defeat a group of UTA at the gates, wouldn't this always ruin my relationship with the UTA in that sector? So if that's the case, why should I ever bother trying to gain favor with the UTA?
From the Space Pirates and Zombies wiki:
The story does change these mechanics:
UTA bases sometimes have parts for sale that require at least neutral, like, or friendly status. Whether or not they have items for sale is visible on the Galaxy map by a circular green "$" symbol next to the star system as well as next to the base in question within the solar system.
In addition to that, you gain the ability to do commodity trades between goons, rez, and data or bribing to pass a warp gate.
This is all true for both UTA and civ outposts in the various solar systems. An outpost will not let you buy the ship part with a bad reputation and as such it is advised to work towards buying the UTA part first (increasing UTA rep) since your civ reputation will usually go down as a result. Then after getting what you need from UTA, you can get your civ rep up if they are selling items which often results in UTA rep going down. You can then move on to killing UTA warp gate blockades without worrying about rep.
In the early part of the game, having neutral or better relations with the UTA permits you to:
It can be very effective to bribe a strong UTA presence to allow you access to the next sector rather than fight the guard force. Being able to trade with a UTA station for its resources can help you set up quickly upgrade your ship/fleet.
While it is possible to destroy a starbase to gain access to the parts/upgrades it sells, this will reduce the strength of that starbase by 1 level when it is rebuilt. There are reasons to leave the starbases, both civilian and UTA, as strong as possible, due to later game events when those strength levels will be more useful to you in game.
Having good relations with both UTA and CIV in a system will allow you to roam about in faction-battles without getting attacked. You still have to watch out for friendly fire but can gather up goons, data, rez and black boxes with impunity. This is particularly valuable in high-level systems where the number of goons and data present on ships are very high. Since the goons are friendly to you, the recruitment success ratio will be almost 100%. You can then use the goons for bribes to access new systems where you can bribe faction relations, increasing your supply to blueprints and more faction-battles.
An advantage of this method is that you do not have to fight very much, however faction battles may end up taking a while. Usually following the highest level ship is enough to guarantee a supply of resources.
Edit: This tactic will however prevent you from doing most of the possible missions in a system as you will almost always be forced to fire upon friendly vessels You should not need to do them as faction battles are not hard to find.

One aspect of its mission is to "provide unique, direct programs and services to meet the needs of injured service members."
That was illustrated when a unit visited the Blue Sky Ranch on Tuesday for a session that utilized horses.
Annie Bolognino, the ranch's head wrangler, said the 14 men who participated in the event returned recently from the war in Iraq.
"The soldiers had returned with different types of injuries mental and physical from a traumatic environment, so most of their emotions were on the top end of things, if you understand," Bolognino said. "These guys deal with their own emotional trauma and are still trying to connect with life at different stages."
That was something Bolognino could relate to because horses, in general, are always on a heightened level due to their innate nature.
"It made sense to put the horses and the men together in order for both groups to connect on a bigger picture," she said.
Bolognino and her staff started off the day by introducing the soldiers to the horses.
"We showed the men how, through patience and time, to work with the animals," she said. "We wanted to show them that it takes time for things to develop and that they don't have to go barreling through their problems or issues and develop confrontation.
They can learn to be patient and not get frustrated with themselves."
Bolognina used a male horse named Paintbrush in one of the demonstrations.
"Paintbrush, in particular, has some trust issues," she said. "He is very standoffish, but it helped more that I worked with him to show the soldiers his transformation from being standoffish to him wanting and willing to connect with me."
Bolognina explained how the horse's body language gave her hints as to whether or not the animal was comfortable.
"Paintbrush went through a traumatic period in the morning when we were transporting him to the ranch," Bolognina said. "So, he was just rife with emotion, but once we got the horse comfortable, he started following me around the pen and the guys thought that was the coolest thing they ever saw.
"In doing that, we showed them how important it was to take the time for the horse to make its own decision as to whether or not it wanted to get close to me."
Throughout the five-hour session, the soldiers were able to experience hands-on workshops with the horses.
"Those activities helped the men understand that it is important to take time to feel the wind on their faces and feel the fur under their hands," Bolognina said. "We gave the soldiers a chance to groom the horses and have a one-on-one time.
"Those were what we call a mini moment," she said. "While those moments are not going to change the soldiers' lives in one day, they can take these experiences and use them the throughout their lives, no matter what kinds of trauma they've been through and what issues they are coping with."
At one point, the soldiers were instructed to lead the horses through a course of cones and rails.
"The horses were walked through the cones and the soldiers were able to use the energy in their bodies to lead the horse forward or to stop or have them go backward," Bolognina said. "It was a way to help them communicate."
Another exercise required the men to help the horse step over a rail through a sequence of moves.
"They would have the horse step one foot over the rail and then back again and then the next time step two feet over and then back them up," Bolognina explained. "The hardest part was having them lead the horse to get three feet over the rail and stop, before continuing over."
Tuesday's event was a first for the Blue Sky Ranch, and the idea was inspired by the work done at the National Ability Center.
"One of our wranglers works at the NAC and has done a program like this, but they only have three or four horses to every 15 to 20 soldiers at a time," Bolognina said. "It's hard to give these men the opportunity for a one-on-one time with the animals, so we made the proposal to NAC to do a session at the ranch.
"I know what horses have offered to me in my life and to give these guys something in the short time we had together struck home," Bolognina said. "I had a couple of soldiers give me some gifts. One was a Wounded Warriors bracelet and another soldier gave me a medallion that was from one of his friends who was in the front line of his platoon. He passed it on to me and said, if the situation were ever upon you to give this to someone else, I would like you to pass it along.
"One of the unit's counselors, Stephen Shields, came up to me and said what a phenomenal experience it was for these men," she said. "I hope to do this again."

The proposed P&O Princess merger with Royal Caribbean is officially kaput. Following a series of dramatic, executive-suite negotiations, P&O Princess has welcomed Carnival's offer. Carnival is announcing today it has offered P&O Princess a "pre-conditional proposal to enter into a DLC structure."
In a nutshell?
*P&O Princess has withdrawn its recommendation of the merger it had agreed on last November with Royal Caribbean.
*Carnival has increased its offer for P&O Princess and found a way to reshape its acquisition proposal so that it's more palatable to United Kingdom shareholders. According to a Carnival statement, the "dual listed companies" proposal (DLC) not only provides P&O Princess shareholders with the superior economic terms of our increased offer, but also enables them to retain their UK listed shares and to participate in the only dual listed company that will be included in both the FTSE 100 and the S&P 500."
*And yet: Carnival's proposed offer is not a done deal. It's still up to P&O Princess shareholders to decide. CEO Peter Ratcliffe has said the next general meeting will likely be scheduled for February 14, 2003. Until that time, P&O, which can't technically even recommend the offer to shareholders until January 1 (news announcements today are focusing on P&O Princess' withdrawal from the Royal Caribbean arrangement). And, P&O can, technically, also welcome offers from other companies.
*It's a sad day for Royal Caribbean, with Chairman Richard Fain acknowledging defeat in a company-issued statement: "Clearly, we regret that the Board of P&O Princess is taking this action. We remain today as convinced as ever that the pairing of our two companies would be a great partnership and a great business. Ultimately, it is the shareholders of P&O Princess who must decide what is best for their company."
*As compensation, Royal Caribbean has received the $62.5 million "break fee in its original merger agreement with P&O Princess.
*Once the proposal is officially made, the P&O Princess board has until January 10 to decide whether or not to recommend it to shareholders.
*And, finally...if the board recommends Carnival's DLC to shareholders...and if...shareholders vote yea for the deal, look for the two companies to begin dual-operating in first quarter 2003. In a statement today, Carnival CEO Micky Arison said "We intend to invite representatives of P&O Princess to join the Carnival board and believe there will be significant benefits in sharing the best practices of the two management teams across our combined enterprise. P&O Princess and Carnival shareholders can both participate in the future of a combined business, which will be one of the most exciting and dynamic in the leisure industry."

A Co-C≡N-Re conjugate is produced in a short time and high yield from the reaction of [Et(4)N](2)[Re(II)Br(4)(CO)(2)] (ReCORM-1) with B(12). The B(12)-Re(II)(CO)(2) derivatives show a number of features which make them pharmaceutically acceptable CO-releasing molecules (CORMs). These cobalamin conjugates are characterized by an improved stability in aqueous aerobic media over the metal complex alone, and afford effective therapeutic protection against ischemia-reperfusion injury in cultured cardiomyocytes. The non-toxicity (at μM concentrations) of the resulting metal fragment after CO release is attributed to the oxidation of the metal and formation in solution of the ReO(4)(-) anion, which is among the least toxic of all of the rare inorganic compounds. Theoretical and experimental studies aimed at elucidating the aqueous chemistry of ReCORM-1 are also described.

Margarine turned the big 1-4-4!
Yesterday, we celebrated margarine's birthday and it looks like there were quite a few people on Twitter celebrating. We've looked at all the tweets from yesterday, and we like the one from @SaveEveryStep the best:
Well, @SaveEveryStep, let us save you some time researching margarine's birthday. This is wadda we know eh:
To bring you up to speed, we're going to take you back in time 144 long years ago to margarine's very first birthday. Picture it: 1869. France. Emperor Louis Napoleon III proposed a new challenge to the people of France to create a delicious, new alternative to butter. Hippolyte Mege-Mouries rose to the challenge and created the recipe for oleomargarine, which would later be renamed "margarine."
Emperor Napoleon III launched his contest, offering a prize to anyone who could make a successful substitute that would keep both the soldiers and people of France nourished. On 15 July 1869, Hippolyte emerged from his kitchen with a creation that was everything Emperor Napoleon III needed.
Today, there are many different uses for margarine, but as July is officially National Ice Cream Month, let's celebrate margarine's birthday with three of the best margarine-powered ice cream cake recipes:
Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Cake
- 18 oz chocolate chip cookies
- 14 cup margarine (melted)
- 1 cup hot fudge topping
- 2 qts vanilla ice cream
- 1 cup whipped cream
- 12 cherries
- ½ cup Country Crock Spread, melted
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 container Breyer's Chocolate Ice Cream
- 1 bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 4 cups mini marshmallows, divided
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup crumbled graham crackers
- 1 container whipped topping, thawed
- 3/4 cups flour
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1 cup brown sugar (lightly packed)
- 1 cup oatmeal
- 1 cup margarine (melted, or use butter)
- 1 12 cups caramel ice cream topping
- 8 cups vanilla ice cream (softened)
Why not celebrate margarine's birthday every day with some more baked goodies for you and your family? Try your hand at our 5 easiest margarine cakes in the world and Easy margarine cakes invented by kids.

Most cases seen in dogs are caused by the caustic and irritating effects of urine on the vaginal mucosa or lining. Since urine normally passes through the vagina with every urination and vaginitis is only seen in a very small percentage of female dogs, cases of this disorder typically mean the urine is abnormal or its flow is in some way altered.
In cases of bladder infections (cystitis), the urine contains large numbers of bacteria. Expelled with the urine, these can easily colonize the vagina, leading to an infection and inflammation of this structure. In mature female dogs, especially in those that have been spayed, urinary incontinence can be a common problem. This is basically a chronic leaking of small quantities of urine from the bladder. When this occurs, urine may lie against the vaginal lining much of the time and lead to a 'urine scald' or irritation.
Infections from bacteria, yeasts, and viruses are known to occur within the vagina. The bacteria isolated from this structure are those commonly found or passed in the dog's stool. It is thought that when the animal cleans itself after urination and defecation, the licking may transfer bacteria from the anus to the vagina. As in other species, yeast infections of the vagina sometimes occur in animals that are on prolonged antibiotic therapy. It appears that these medications suppress the normal bacteria living in this structure, which in some way may prevent the growth of yeast organisms.
The herpes virus known to infect dogs commonly infects the vaginal area. As in other animals, this is a chronic infection with occasional flare-ups of clinical signs.
Non-infectious inflammations of the vagina also occur due to the effects of shampoos, detergents, cleaning agents, and other solutions. The severity of these is dependent on the properties of the causative agent.
In animals with vulvar fold abnormalities, the vaginitis may be secondary to irritations resulting from this condition.
Young female dogs less than one year of age may develop 'juvenile vaginitis.' The cause of this condition is unknown, but generally resolves with age.

How to use ojserver in JDeveloper's 12c maven pom
By Lukasz Romaszewski-Oracle on Aug 27, 2013
As we know the latest version of JDeveloper 12c offers a complete support for Maven including handling all ADF-related dependencies in form of ADF libraries. When you create a new application JDeveloper by default asks you to choose one of three available building options, the second of which is Maven. This allows you to create your ADF application with ready to use pom.xml which would handle all compiling, packaging and deploying tasks for you. Oracle has added two specific Maven plugins to automate the building process:
1. ojmake - compiles your sources
2. ojdeploy - old, good headless JDeveloper which packages your files and performs all necessary magic to make your ADF app run.

Nokia Booklet 3G: What it is? What it isn't? And why Nokia made it
If you look at all the coverage Nokia Booklet 3G pre-announcement received yesterday, you get the impression that this is THE product announcement of the year.
Which looks pretty strange, if you consider what was announced – just another product – Wintel PC – in a tiny (albeit fast growing) Netbook market.
So now, that we've had some time to think about it, let's try to figure out what yesterday's announcement of Nokia Booklet 3G means. What it is? What it isn't? And why the heck Nokia even bothered to make one?
What is Nokia Booklet 3G?
This one is pretty easy. It's a Netbook. A small, relatively cheap, limited functionality portable computer running on Intel Atom CPU and Windows OS.
Officially known specs for Nokia Netbook 3G include: Atom CPU, Windows OS, 3G/HSPA, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth radios, A-GPS, HD ready 10.1" display, SD-card reader, HDMI port, 12hrs battery life, dimensions of 185×264×19.99 mm, weight: 1.125 kg.
Additional, unofficial, Nokia Booklet 3G specs, courtesy Eldar Murtazin, are – fanless Intel Atom Chipset (Z530 running at 1.6 Ghz), 120 GB HDD, 1 x HDMI port (for HD video out), 1 x integarted SD card reader, 3 x USB ports, 1 x audio port. Possible price: EUR 399 or more.
If you look just at the hardware side, probably except for the A-GPS, Nokia's Booklet 3G is exactly the same as any other run of the mill Netbook made by Asus, Del, Acer or anyone else.
Well, one could argue, that some specs like HD ready thing, HDMI, 12 hrs battery life, are better then netbooks out there have now. Sure. But by the time Nokia Booklet ships, sometime in Q4 2009, other PC vendors will surely catch up specwise.
The only difference between Nokia Booklet 3G and any other next generation netbook, is it's tight integration with Nokia software & services. It means that Nokia Booklet 3G will come with a preinstalled Nokia Ovi Suite 2.0 (I hope non-beta version is ready by then), Ovi maps and probably some other Ovi gadgets on your desktop, plus easy access to all Nokia OVI online services. And, probably, easy syncing and connectivity with your Nokia phone, out of the box.
But nothing of that will be exclusive to your Nokia Booklet 3G. With a bit of tinkering and a few downloads, you'll be able to replicate (almost) the same functionality with any other new high end netbook out there.
What Nokia Booklet 3G isn't?
First, Nokia Booklet 3G isn't the device to bring true internet and PC use experience to the masses in developing world/emerging markets. Or a truly mass market device in the rest of the world.
You simply do not make a device from carved aluminum chassis and HD bells&whistles for that market. You go for barely adequate specs and materials to make the thing as cheap as you can. And why would Nokia do that, also creating competition to it's main product lines? They are pretty happy getting people over there connected via their cheap S30/S40 and soon S60 handsets, without any need of PC.
Nokia Booklet 3G is not the first step in some secret, cunning and ultra smart plan by Nokia to conquer the laptop PC market. Actually, it is not even an attempt to become a player in laptop PC market. Most likely, it's not even a serious attempt to become a major player in a Netbook market.
And, it seems, that Nokia Booklet 3G is not even made or designed by Nokia.
The rumors way back in February, reporting that Nokia is planning to launch Netbook this fall, insisted that Nokia was talking about Joint Design Manufacturing approach with Taiwanese OEMs. Now that we know, that the first part of the rumor is true, I'm pretty sure the second part is too. Especially, seeing just how little in the new device comes from Nokia side, and how much of it is just plain simple netbook.
Yes, Nokia had some involvement in Booklet design. It is a Joint Design Manufacturing after all. But that involvement was pretty limited. Probably to the inclusion of A-GPS, HSPA connectivity and integration of Nokia software and services. Maybe some energy saving tricks, to get to that promised 12 hrs battery life, though I really doubt that.
What this amounted as a resource investment from Nokia, were a few, maybe several tens, of Nokia engineers working with Compal, Quanta, Foxconn or some other OEM they contracted to produce the thing, making sure everything runs smoothly.
So, though I'm curious to see all the details about Booklet 3G made public, come Nokia World next week, I do not expect any big surprises. There won't be any new technology breakthroughs, next generation chips others don't have, or mind blowing software/user interface innovations on Booklet 3G.
Nokia simply does not have enough clout with the PC chip makers to get them to make something exclusive, while keeping the likes of Acer, Dell and Asus locked out. And it also does not have enough resources, will and belief in the device category, to create the next generation user experience on yet another platform.
So why did Nokia make Booklet 3G?
Well, actually, more correct question will be – Why Not?
Back in April we told you about Nokia's plans in small mobile computer market. Now, that we've seen the actual products, it's seems that those plans are evolving more or less along the lines we described.
According to Nokia VP Anssi Vanjoki:
[netbooks] today have a pretty strong demand due to their compact nature and possibility to use some standard applications, e.g. during travel. So due to these market opportunities we are looking into this segment as a tactical possibility. It is possible that we will have some devices of this type in the future.
But I want to emphasize that this direction is not a strategic one for us. We are aiming at a different type of mobile devices.
Translated from corporate speak, netbooks are nothing more then a sideshow for Nokia. A way to make a quick buck, while the market demand is hot. And, probably, to buy some insurance, in case there is something bigger then they now see in this category of devices.
And why not? They do not need to invest a lot of money and resources to produce the thing. Most of the development work has been done by OEMs and Microsoft. Just slap on your own software&service suite, add some gimmicks so your marketing department has a way to fool the average Joe that it's something special differentiate a product, push it out there and see what happens.
Especially, when potentially biggest netbook distribution channel is ready, eager and waiting. I am talking about Mobile Operators, which are just starting to promote subsidized netbooks to their clients.
This latent operator demand might be the biggest reason Nokia even considered producing it's own Netbook at all. This is the only competitive advantage Nokia has over the likes of Dell, Acer, Asustek and other players in the PC market. But it's a real one nonetheless. While PC makers are only starting to find a ways to get their subsidized netbooks on mobile networks, Nokia has been successfully nurturing these relationships for years (I'm not talking about U.S. market here).
Heck, Nokia reps are probably talking to the network operator reps about Booklet 3G right now. When it is finally ready to ship, Booklet 3G might launch worldwide, with the promotion campaigns from tens of mobile carriers, at an attractive, subsidized price.
And what if the market does not take off, or the device itself flops?
So what? Nokia writes-off a few million $$ in losses, forgets the darn thing, and merrily continues to conquer the world with it's Maemo based "true mobile computers" like N900 and hundreds of millions of cheap Symbian smartphones.
And don't forget the perverse pleasure at least someone at Nokia should feel for the opportunity of biting all those pesky PC makers where it might hurt. After all, they've been giving Nokia so much grief these last few years, with their inroads into a smartphone market Nokia considers it's own, should feel sweet to able return the favor…

Rolling Stones lead singer Mick Jagger has been on the publicity rounds for the James Brown biopic "Get on Up." Jagger is one of the producers of the movie, and he has often named Brown as one of his biggest musical influences. On July 21, 2014, Jagger attended the New York City premiere of "Get on Up" at the Apollo Theater, where Jagger first saw Brown perform back in 1964. Brown died on Dec. 25, 2006, at the age of 73.
Chadwick Boseman plays Brown in "Get On Up," which also stars Viola Davis, Nelsan Ellis, Octavia Spencer, Tika Sumpter, Dan Aykroyd, Jill Scott and Craig Robinson. Nick Eversman plays a young Jagger in the movie. Universal Pictures' "Get on Up" arrives in U.S. and Canadian cinemas on Aug. 1, 2014.
Tate Taylor (who directed 2011's "The Help") directed "Get on Up." Taylor, Victoria Pearman (Jagger's partner at Jagged Films), Brian Grazer and Erica Huggins are the other producers of the movie. The "Get on Up" screenplay was written by brothers Jez Butterworth and John-Henry Butterworth.
Several of the stars and filmmakers of "Get on Up" attended the movie's New York City premiere. Also attending the event were Tomi Rae Brown (Brown's widow), James Brown Jr. (Brown's youngest child), political activist Al Sharpton, U.S. Congressman Charlie Rangel, lifestyle mogul Martha Stewart, Lucas Jagger (Mick's youngest child) and Lucas' mother, Luciana Gimenez Morad.
On July 17, 2014, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences hosted a special screening of "Get on Up" at Lighthouse International's Academy Theater in New York City. The screening (which was held for Academy members) was followed by a Q&A with Jagger, Boseman, Grazer, Taylor, Spencer, Pearman, Aykroyd and Ellis.
Most of the media interviews with Jagger for "Get on Up" have not revealed anything new, since the interviewers ask the same questions over and over. Many Rolling Stones fans already know how much Brown influenced Jagger and any experiences that Jagger had in interacting with Brown. Probably the best behind-the-scenes report and Jagger interview for "Get on Up" was from The Hollywood Reporter, which featured Jagger on the cover of its issue dated Jan. 31, 2014.
Reporters, for the most part, have avoided asking Jagger how he's been coping with the death of L'Wren Scott, his longtime girlfriend who committed suicide in March 2014. However, Jagger did comment to NBC's "Today" in an interview that aired in July 2014: "I'm doing OK. It's difficult. Very hard year, but I got back into it by working on touring with the Stones in Europe and doing other things, including doing this great movie."
The Rolling Stones are on a break from their "14 on Fire" world tour, which resumes on Oct. 25, 2014, in Adelaide, Australia.
"Get on Up" is one of several projects produced by Jagger. As previously reported, Jagger is also producing the following projects:
The movie "Last Train to Memphis," a biopic of Elvis Presley. The film's cast and release date are to be announced.
A TV series for HBO (title and premiere date to be announced) about the music business in the 1970s. Emmy-winning actor Bobby Cannavale has been mentioned (but not officially announced) as the star of the show, which is also being executive produced by Martin Scorsese.
A scripted drama series and a Broadway musical based on "20 Feet From Stardom," the 2013 Oscar-winning documentary about backup singers who work for superstars. Jagger did not produce "20 Feet From Stardom," but he is one of the people interviewed in the documentary, which also features Rolling Stones backup singers Lisa Fischer (who has worked with the Rolling Stones since 1989) and Merry Clayton, who famously did backup vocals for the Rolling Stones classic song "Gimme Shelter."
In addition, Jagger is returning to acting in films, with roles in the movies "Fresh Tears" (which is also set in the music industry) and the family drama "Tiny Problems of White People." The release dates for these movies are to be announced. Jagger's previous movie role as an actor was as the owner of a male escort service in the 2001 drama "The Man From Elysian Fields." In 2012, Jagger hosted and performed on "Saturday Night Live."
Aug. 4, 2014 update: "Get on Up" debuted at No. 3 at the U.S./Canadian box office, with $14 million in ticket sales, according to Rentrak. While the movie didn't completely flop in its opening weekend, the movie isn't a hit either. "Get on Up" has gotten mostly positive reviews from movie critics, according to Rotten Tomatoes.

Stephen Warnock claims that he knows from his own experience Jordan Henderson has exactly what it takes to develop into a 'great player' for Liverpool.
The former Reds defender - now at Leeds United - has been impressed by the improvement our No.14 has made under Brendan Rodgers this season and is tipping him to continue to develop.
Warnock told LFC TV: "I remember watching when they played at Arsenal and he was the best player on the pitch by a mile - the distance he covered and he seemed to be playing in a more advanced role.
"I've played against him and trained with him and know he's a very good player.
"I think the first year he came was probably a bit daunting for him in realising what Liverpool is all about and things like that, but I think he's acquitted himself well this year and been very good.
"People forget he's still young. He's 22 and still has plenty of time to be a great player for Liverpool.
"This season has probably been another learning curve for him and hopefully he'll kick on to good things now - and with Joe Allen being injured, it gives him every opportunity to play."
Meanwhile, Warnock admits he was delighted when Liverpool swooped to sign Philippe Coutinho in January as he was a player whose development he'd personally taken an interest in over the last couple of years.
The Brazilian has since impressed with two goals and two assists in five appearances since moving from Inter Milan.
Warnock said: "I think since he's come in, he's adapted well to the game and the style Liverpool want to play.
"I remember seeing him for the first time when he was at Inter Milan and they played Tottenham. It was when Rafa [Benitez] was manager and he played for them a few times in the San Siro.
"I thought he was a very good player and kept my eye on him.
"He seems to be a player the fans like as well and they've taken to him. Scoring quite early on helped him, but he's been impressive."

Model year 2014 is delivering up huge consumer advantages by way of style and performance in virtually every category of cars. Take for example, the all new Mazda3 and Kia's Forte--two mid-size class cars you've gotta see and drive to believe!
Start with a $19,400 base at the EX trim level ($15,900 for the base model) then add a set of 17-inch rims at $300, the Premium Package at $2,600 and the EX Technology Package (think bi-xenon headlights, dual zone climate, navigation, HD radio and more) at $2,300 and you'll end up being blown away by the things this car does at $25K out the door. And that's in addition to an average fuel economy rating of 28 miles per gallon combined (24 city/36 highway)!
Aside from its sporty new look that includes a new set of LED's to accent the headlights and a dazzling set of sporty rims similar to it's more upscale siblings, Forte handles well beyond the average car in its class. It's 2.0 liter engine boasts 173 horses under the hood, harnessed my a smooth shifting six speed tranny and several steering modes--including sport for a they type of fun and agility you'd expect from a more pricier whip. Speaking of steering, the steering wheel is heated!
But like the big boys, Forte EX prepares the way for you to enter upon approaching by lowering the mirrors and illuminating the door handles to make the chrome button an easy target to push to unlock and relock all doors--when the key fab is in close proximity. From that point, get in, hit the start button and let the good times roll!
Forte's interior is simply marvelous in terms of the layout. It's all there in the center stack, and at a glance. Or, just stay focused and use the steering wheel controls. Either way, you'll be fine. And would you ever imagine a five passenger car at this price-point to have heated seats for all four passengers? Kia implemented a solution to the center console challenge,which prior to now had always been the uncovered space for connections to USB ports and power charger. That are now includes a sliding cover to conceal devices when you're not in the car, versus the inconvenience of having to disconnect and stow in the glove box of beneath the arm rest. Then there's UVO-Kia's Microsoft powered system for driver enhancement. While some features require enrollment, UVO provides helpful diagnostics, navigation features, helps you locate your car and more between the car and a mobile phone app.
From beginning to end including land departure warnings, blind spot monitoring, parking assistance to detect obstructions, numerous airbags, a 10-year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty, Kia's new Forte is definitely giving the others in its class (especially Civic, Corolla and Sentra) a run for the money!
2014 Mazda3 5-Door Grand Touring
Available as a four door sedan, a five door that resembles a smaller and similarly sleek version of Infiniti's EX35, and the more racy, powerful 263 horsepower, turbo charged Mazda3 Speed with 280 lb-ft of torque, Mazda recreated the Mazda3 to fill a range of voids. And with a base of $23,245, the Mazda3 5-Door at Grand Touring level is both sassy and sweet!
The all new interior design is chock full of cool and comfortable features including the Commander control dial to help maneuver through functions such as audio, navigation, answering text messages and emails from your smartphone and more--when opting out of the voice command function.
Mazda's SKYACTIV engine technology yields a combined fuel economy of 33 miles per gallon (29 city / 40 highway) from a 2.0 liter, 155 horsepower engine with 150 lb-ft of torque. And while that may not sound like much, behind the wheel, especially in the six speed manual transmission, it's a blast to drive and looks better than ever in the process.
Speaking of driving, radar based cruise control senses traffic and brakes accordingly, which Mazda touts as a class exclusive. Other features worth boasting in this category could include forward collision to recognize obstructions, Smart City Braking so that anything you might possibly miss is caught through radar detection and the car stopped, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, automatic high beams through High Beam Control and adaptive front lighting.
Mazda3 is a lot of a little car!
