Deborah Tannen's #1 New York Times bestseller You Just Don't Understand revolutionized communication between women and men. Now, in her most provocative and engaging book to date, she takes on what is potentially the most fraught and passionate connection of women's lives: the mother-daughter relationship.
It was Tannen who first showed us that men and women speak different languages. Mothers and daughters speak the same language–but still often misunderstand each other, as they struggle to find the right balance between closeness and independence. Both mothers and daughters want to be seen for who they are, but tend to see the other as falling short of who she should be. Each overestimates the other's power and underestimates her own.
Why do daughters complain that their mothers always criticize, while mothers feel hurt that their daughters shut them out? Why do mothers and daughters critique each other on the Big Three–hair, clothes, and weight–while longing for approval and understanding? And why do they scrutinize each other for reflections of themselves?
Deborah Tannen answers these and many other questions as she explains why a remark that would be harmless coming from anyone else can cause an explosion when it comes from your mother or your daughter. She examines every aspect of this complex dynamic, from the dark side that can shadow a woman throughout her life, to the new technologies like e-mail and instant messaging that are transforming mother-daughter communication. Most important, she helps mothers and daughters understand each other, the key to improving their relationship.
With groundbreaking insights, pitch-perfect dialogues, and deeply moving memories of her own mother, Tannen untangles the knots daughters and mothers can get tied up in. Readers will appreciate Tannen's humor as they see themselves on every page and come away with real hope for breaking down barriers and opening new lines of communication. Eye-opening and heartfelt, You're Wearing That? illuminates and enriches one of the most important relationships in our lives.
"Tannen analyzes and decodes scores of conversations between moms and daughters. These exchanges are so real they can make you squirm as you relive the last fraught conversation you had with your own mother or daughter. But Tannen doesn't just point out the pitfalls of the mother-daughter relationship, she also provides guidance for changing the conversations (or the way that we feel about the conversations) before they degenerate into what Tannen calls a mutually aggravating spiral, a "self-perpetuating cycle of escalating responses that become provocations." – The San Francisco Chronicle

Lootera's first look at theatre amid old world ambience
Sonakshi Sinha-Ranveer Singh starrer Lootera will launch the first look of the movie at a single screen theatre in south Mumbai. Lootera, a period romance drama is set in Bengal of 1950s, is Vikramaditya Motwane's second film after his much acclaimed Udaan.
The team of Lootera will launch first look of the film at Liberty Cinema here on March 15. The makers think that this will bring back the old world charm as the film is set in that era. "The film's first look will be launched at Liberty Cinema... it has an old-world charm. The makers want to use this ambiance to transport the audience into the world of 'Lootera'. It is a period film, which is why the makers thought to do the launch at this iconic theatre," a statement from the makers said.
The theatre was set up in 1947 and the last premiere that was held there was of Salman Khan-Madhuri Dixit's Hum Aapke Hai Kaun in 1994. The film is produced by Ekta Kapoor's Balaji Motion Pictures and Phantom Films, which is floated by four prominent filmmakers - Anurag Kashyap, Vikramaditya Motwane, Vikas Bahl and Madhu Mantena. Lootera is scheduled to release in July this year.

Sunstar 520 SSR O-Ring Sealed Ring Chain
- Description
- 10 Reviews
- Ask a Question
- Fitment
The Sunstar 520SSR O-ring chain (SSR = Standard Sealed Ring) is a heavy duty, long lasting sealed chain that uses only the highest quality rubber O-rings that maintain lubricity, resulting in less friction and the smoothest transfer of power. It is also an extremely strong option for an O-ring chain with a 7,670-pound tensile strength rating and seamless roller and bushing construction. It is constructed with a special heat-treated alloy steel for added strength and life. This great, versatile sealed ring chain is available only in 520 chain pitch for any motorcycle up to 400cc in the natural color option (non-gold) and in pre-cut lengths. It uses clip-type connecting link.
- High quality, durable and long lasting standard O-ring chain recommended for any motorcycle up to 400cc.
- Constructed of special, heat-treated alloy steel for the best possible strength and lifespan.
- O-rings keep the chain well lubricated, resulting in less friction and consistent power transfer.
- Available only in Natural finish.
- Average tensile strength of 7,700 pounds.
- Maximum rated displacement (street / off-road): 400cc / 400cc.
- Weight (per 100 links): 3.35 pounds.
- Includes press fit clip-style master link.
- Note: NOT suggested for competition.
Note for installing O-ring chains: As O-ring chains are wider than standard roller chains, when fitting an O-ring chain to a motorcycle that was fitted with a non O-ring chain as original equipment, it is essential to check that there is proper clearance of the engine cases near the countershaft sprocket and any other places of close contact. Failure to do so could result in damage to the chain and motorcycle and could ultimately cause the chain to fail.

This is an extremely well made chain ... Great packaging and shipping ... Very happy with this purchase.. Holding its own for sure...
Great chain! Works as it should. Definitely recommend
Used it on a IT200 Yamaha, great fit all we had to do is mod the chain guide to drill it wider for the o-ring chain.
Comes prelubed with grease. I have had no issues with htis chain, but it's also on a 2 stroke 220cc quad. I put it through the paces and have no issues.
A good chain that does what it's built for. Not much style but it is chain & bling isn't my concern on an item/part such as this. The chain holds up very well with little adjustment between rides. Everyone who rides also knows a chain is as good as its taking care of. If you pop clutch alot and/or don't take cake of it then its as good as a cheap chain & won't last.
This is a great chain and it was afforadable
I use these chains in XC racing and have had as good or better luck with them than more expensive models.
this chain has preformed well and the price that goes with that makes it that much better
This chain was decent, but I didn't like it. It was super stiff and never loosened up! Also the pin was hard to get on and I had to get a new one. I would NOT buy again

Immersion Could Help Sony, Watching Nintendo Closely
Sony owes Immersion $91M, company wonders if Nintendo copied them.
How will rumbling controllers play into the next-generation console war? Will gamers notice if the controller doesn't vibrate taking a corner in Gran Turismo, will they care? Immersion President and CEO Vic Viegas certainly thinks so: "If you can see a single blade of grass in Madden and hear the hot dog vendor in the stands, but you don't feel the tackle? That's not going to sit well with gamers."
Immersion Corp. has three very different relationships with The Big Three. For now, they are only providing force feedback to one of them. Will that change in the coming months? It seems more and more likely.
Immersion and Sony: Because of the lawsuit, this is the most interesting and complicated relationship Immersion has with a console manufacturer. Sony products that sold from 2001 to June of 2004 fell under a decision that has Sony owing Immersion roughly $91M. It was a unanimous verdict taking place across two patents that related to rumbling technology in controllers across 16 different claims. The result of the decision included a permanent injunction which prohibits the sales of PS2's, related software and accessories which use Immersion's patented technology. However, your store shelves still have PS2's on them, because of Sony's appeal. That appeal forced the judge to halt the injunction until the ruling for the appeal. Its one of the sticking points in the gummy relationship between Sony and Immersion.
Currently, Sony is paying a 1.37% royalty quarterly to Immersion Corp. as part of their deal with Immersion, but the appeal still lingers. Immersion believes that they can make Sony's PS3 controller rumble -- their new TouchSense technology, which has motion-sensing and positional feedback built in to it is a testament to that claim. Yesterday, we detailed some of the court history between Sony and Immersion, as well as outlined a bit of the new TouchSense technology with the help of Extreme Tech.
Viegas told 1UP that the time for Sony to act, to implement the next-generation force feedback in their controller was waning. The window of opportunity for getting rumble in the PS3 hasn't closed just yet. Viegas speculated that the process would take a matter of one-to-two months.
However, time is short. Sony told 1UP that debug units were expected to ship to journalists in early September. Consider also, that Sony would have to drop their appeal and agree to pay Immersion the $90.7M settlement in order for that rumbling technology to find its way to Sony's PS3 and the case for rumble in PS3 looks a little bit bleak.
Immersion and Microsoft: In July of 2003, Microsoft entered a licensing agreement for with Immersion for the rights to use the Immersion IP, additionally, Microsoft purchased 10% ownership in Immersion. After the announcement pairing Microsoft with Immersion, Microsoft sold its stake in Immersion, essentially recouping the $20M licensing investment with the company. Microsoft currently holds no shares of Immersion stock, but its controllers and software do hold the previous generation of Immersion force feedback technology.
"We want to work closely with Microsoft to get this new TouchSense feedback into their Xbox 360," Viegas said. This is more difficult than it sounds, however. There are three tools that Immersion will have to include in Microsoft's Xbox 360 process, there will have to be changes made to the SDK, the algorithms need to be adjusted and the actuators need to be implanted in the Xbox 360s controllers -- it would essentially require a soft relaunch for the platform, or later in the console's life cycle an appropriate way to introduce the technology would have to exist.
That doesn't mean that if Immersion included TouchSense in a future version of the Xbox 360 that it would mess up any existing software, as TouchSense is backwards compatible and would still function on existing Xbox and Xbox 360 titles (those titles likely wouldn't use the additional functionality of the TouchSense feedback). Will Microsoft include the TouchSense in future iterations of the console hardware? Time will tell.
Immersion and Nintendo: Immersion doesn't work with Nintendo on vibrating controller technology. Nintendo's rumble packs are their own designs, though the company was unable to get its Wireless controller -- the Wavebird -- to use rumbling technology, "We could've helped them with that," Viegas said. "But they didn't ask."
Nintendo has apparently solved the problem on its own, however, as the Wii reportedly has vibrating technology built into its wireless controller. Given their history with Sony, you can bet that Immersion will be taking a hard look at how the Wii vibration functions and make sure it doesn't infringe on any of Immersion's existing technology -- otherwise, we could see more controller-based litigation in the not too distant future.

sony controller terriblePosted: Jul 24, 2006 12:00AM PST by peperaj
personally i think sony's controller has always been the worst...except possibly the original xbox controller (not the controller S). It's not very ergonomic, analog sticks don't offer enough resistance, and the buttons aren't as nice as the others...not to mention the lack of any type of trigger system...at least the new one has something a bit like triggers. the lack of rumble to me is a step back. rumble helps you get more into the game and i think it would be noticeably missing. for instance, after playing half life 2 on my xbox and then going to doom 3 (where in my opinion the rumble is not executed as well), i could tell the difference. anyway, you can't start cutting features while jacking the price up to $600. poor move.
sony wont fail because of rumble but....Posted: Jun 27, 2006 12:00AM PST by god_of_war11690
It it is true Sony's PS3 may not fail due to lack of rumble (even though it is a very good feature to have.) Yet I still wonder that the 600 price tag will lead to Sony's demise, even the lack of good games instead of beefed up sequels, or maybe even the fact that Sony is too overconfident that they don't need third party support to dominate the industry. Yes, it is true the PS3 may not fail because of rumble, but these other factors may lead it to its demise.

Future of Corps.Posted: Jun 23, 2006 12:00AM PST by INFINITY45
To patent everything ever imagined, charge another company for using the "idea" that was patented or sue for huge sums of cash. The US has some of the most silly Patent laws around. Even if they are necessary to protect some ideas. To patent the "idea" of something, even without even building it is ridiculous. All you have to do is draw it out on paper, say "this will connect to this, this does this", patent granted.
Ditching the rumble doesnt mean the end of sony!Posted: Jun 23, 2006 12:00AM PST by VG-REBEL
You people keep fogetting! Even if they weren't being sued! They couldnt put it in because of the motion thing! And besides, if you ask me, rumble was nothing more then a gimmick when it came out. And it still is just that. A gimmick! Do you think people who play on the PC have rumble? Do you think they care? NO! Cause the games are so fun you dont even notice it! And besides, rumble's great and all, but you got to admit, it gets annoying. So now its up to SONY to take their inovative minds and create something new that can succeed the rumble. Im still with sony. If they can dominate the market with a console that has only 2 controller ports, i think they can dominate the market with a console that doesnt have rumble. You lose one thing you gain another. Thats the way of the world.
i wont miss it...Posted: Jun 23, 2006 12:00AM PST by edmundomcpot
due to the fact that its the same amount of vibration from little hits to huge explosions.. it acctually spoils gaming experiance due to the noise it makes and shakes the controller so when trying to be stealthy and theres an explosion in the distance ..or something...than it just puts you of some one said about something about snapping necks...everseen anyone vibrate when they get there neckes snapped
one more loss for sonyPosted: Jun 22, 2006 12:00AM PST by apocalypce_3
a lawsuit wow sony wat have u gotten yourself into. i think not having rumble on yourcontroler is like having spaggete with no sause. in other words its like playing a game with no feeling or taste its just blank
Just let it go...Posted: Jun 22, 2006 12:00AM PST by Shatter
Hey let's all just say "screw it" with force feedback and Immersion. There are tons of games out now for the PS2 that don't even apply the rumble feature where it would be expected. (like explosions in CG cutscenes). While having it wouldn't be bad, I don't see NOT having it being a problem either. Can you really blame Sony though? I sure wouldn't pay out all that money and just say "well, it is a novelty, ... ok here's your $90 million." That's all it is...a novelty. There is only enough games to count on your hand that have tried to use the rumble feature in an innovative way. After you have played a game for so long you forget about it anyway, so just let it go.
There guys are full of the selfsPosted: Jun 21, 2006 12:00AM PST by agentboolen
All I know is that when i use rumbling in my controls I barely notice it anymore. We have had it sooooo long now I think its just being ignored in me. I bet im not the only person that barely feels the rumble anymore. Its funny how they speak like sony actually needs it. It is a nice feature but I dont think its needed.
Immersion President Likes Rumble?Posted: Jun 21, 2006 12:00AM PST by ElricX
Yeah, of course he is going to think rumble missing from games is going to piss off gamers. More like he is praying it does. That is what Immersion does, it makes controllers vibrate. I don't care if rumble is missing. I've never even seen a game review that says, "Oh man, the rumble in this game! I was about to give this game a 7.0 score, but the rumble, oh my God the rumble, I'm giving it a 9.5. I pray to God every day saying thank you God for this majestic rumble that you have delivered into my sensitive hands".

I can't stand Sony and I'm SOOOO glad they won't have a rumble feature. It is one more thing I can tell my customers about how horrible and pathetic the ps3 is going to be!!! NINTENDO AND MICROSOFT for the win...Sony for the LOSS!! YAY!!!

Rumble isn't a necessity... motion sensors are...Posted: Jun 20, 2006 12:00AM PST by DeathMoon
I don't know if anyone notices (because it feels like such a natural thing), but when u play certain games online, for example splintercell chaos theory, the spies will completely blind you.. then they elbow you.. then they snap your neck.. When you get elbowed, you can feel the rumble. If you are completely blind, ur gunna have to rely on your other senses to fight back, like the touch of the rumble. Without rumble, ur gunna have to turn ur volume really high and hope that while the tv screen is completely white, you will get lucky and save your neck. without rumble, u really notice that while ur playing video games, u r really just staring at a tv and pressing buttons. with rumble u feel more immersed in the experience. F*** sony if theyre gunna take away my precious rumble...
Dual ShockPosted: Jun 20, 2006 12:00AM PST by TreyTable
The Dual Shock came out in America in 1998, to be released the same day as Tekken 3 on the PlayStation. Immersion's patents were filed in 2001. I'm probably the only sane person left. (this doesn't mean I'm going to buy a PlayStation 3 any time soon)
FinalPosted: Jun 20, 2006 12:00AM PST by iinglish
All I'll say is this-if the PS3 launches without a rumble controller the next gen war is over before it began and this is coming from a bonifde Sony Fanboy-rumble is as essential to gaming now as the controller is, it adds to the intensity and feel of the game- I re-inerate No rumble no socom, no rumble no GT NUFF SAID
RUMBLE OKPosted: Jun 20, 2006 12:00AM PST by luisu11oa
it depends on the person really cause i've played my xbox without the rumble and though it felt wierd at first, i kind of got used to it but when i got new motors (was cleaning my controller cause i droped it a few times and heard like there were loose pieces inside and then wires came off the motor.) i noticed that rumble does play a big role in the way you play. it can sometimes help you. i was able to play a little better than before. its up to you
I heart RumblePosted: Jun 20, 2006 12:00AM PST by Nurakh
Some people care, some don't, all i can give is my opinion. Is rumble important for gameplay? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Some developers are starting to use innovative ways to use rumble as a way to clue you in on whats happening in the game. I could do without rumble i suppose, but its a feature i really do appreciate and i'm glad to have.
rumblePosted: Jun 20, 2006 12:00AM PST by Bankshot77
it's not so much the lack of rumble that irritates me, it's that they sacrificed it for a tilt sensor to try to compete with nintendo, and claim that nintendo's controller didn't inspire them, which is just straight-up bullsh*t.
CONTROLLER VIBRATION IS STUPIDPosted: Jun 20, 2006 12:00AM PST by BreakfastPills
I must strongly stand by this belief. Since its debut on the N64 (right?) I've thought it was one of the most gimmicky gaming concepts. Now it's considered standard. F***ing ridiculous.
Vibrating Controllers....Posted: Jun 20, 2006 12:00AM PST by spaa0501
people at first may think whats the big deal we won't miss them but after awhile like when getting tackled in Madden you will miss being able to feel the hit to make it more realistic.....so having that function will be missed maybe not by all but by most.
Rumbling might be missedPosted: Jun 20, 2006 12:00AM PST by bagleyjw
Xbox 360 has already used the rumble feature a lot in their games. With Major League Baseball 2k6 and Table Tennis both using the force feedback feature you wonder how games like this will work on the Playstation 3. It could very well be impossible to play a 2 player game of baseball without the batter hitting it out of the park every time by seeing where you are pitching it. Or they could just get creamed in the face because you have no idea where you are pitching the ball in the strike zone.
I don't understand who says rumble not important...Posted: Jun 20, 2006 12:00AM PST by lukeb4dunk
It has become a part of gaming itself. It's not just for the shooters, it works for a variety of games. Take the Silent Hill games. How much does the heartbeat like rumble help draw you in more into the story? How about the other games when you get into a firefight and your health runs low and your controller beats to let you know? As the Immersion guy said, what about Madden? Doesn't it feel good when you lay a massive hit on a guy and your controller vibrates to make the hit even more gratifying? Or even the Ace Combat games when you fire a missile, you can feel the missile being launched? You know I can go down my entire library and tell you why Rumble enriches the gaming experience, but I really don't think I need to, nor do I care to. Do we need it? No, but we really don't need to play games either, it's just a nice thing to have. If there isn't any rumble in the PS3 controllers, I will feel like I was robbed of an even deeper gaming experience.
Immersion and NintendoPosted: Jun 20, 2006 12:00AM PST by kamrantu
Wavebird... priority was battery life... hense no rumble Same way Nintendo didn't make a Gameboy Color for a long long time even with Sega Game Gear and Atari Lynx on the market being color handhelds with short battery lives. They have now made the DS Lite with much brighter screen than any other portable to date and it still has better battery life than anything else. As they develop their own technology for battery life and make stuff with low power consumption they will make portable controllers with rumble and other such features.
Immersion bang all....Posted: Jun 20, 2006 12:00AM PST by kaitoOnic74
Immersion have clients from 3 competiting companies; any corperation would kill for that. Cut-throut style. Too bad the Wiimote is just too unique.
Wavebird couldn't? Wasn't it a case of "Do not want"?Posted: Jun 20, 2006 12:00AM PST by Demaar
Seriously, the Wavebird uses regular AA batteries, right? Hardly sufficient to power a wireless controller and rumble for lengthy periods of time. I imagine with the Wii's remote it'll have a much better power source since it needs to: sense motion in the remote, send signals to the sensor bar, sense motion in the nunchuck, power a speaker and send/receive signals to/from the console for what all this stuff is doing. That's BEFORE taking any force feedback into account. I honestly don't think it was a case of "damn, we can't put rumble in the Wavebird" but rather "rumble takes too much power, we want it in the Wavebird". With the Wii, they pretty much NEED a more powerful energy source, so they can "afford" the rumble now. Incidentally, when was Immersion's patent filed? I'm pretty sure Nintendo's rumble pak patent was filed before 2000. So if Immersion ever come after Nintendo, they better be well prepared else they may find the case is reversed onto them. It's kinda like proving someone is ripping you off, then finding out they did it first... you've handed them all the evidence to show YOU have ripped THEM off. Bad idea.
Back to the Future!Posted: Jun 20, 2006 12:00AM PST by MicroGates
Boy I remember playing my Sega Master System back in the day with it's two buttons and a d-pad and thinking that was revolutionary(Not to mention the revolutionary "Reset" button that was on the system itself!).Now we're discussing rumble technology,motion sensors,wireless,etc.Wow,it's so cool to be in the future!
It's game dependant.Posted: Jun 20, 2006 12:00AM PST by Gold_Ultima
Most games these days don't really need it. The only games that I think need it are shooting games where you need to know when you've been hit and perhaps a few Wii games where you need some sort of collision detection for the Wiimote. Other than that it really doesn't matter. That's why I used the wavebird most of the time.
Another peice in Sonys f-up...Posted: Jun 20, 2006 12:00AM PST by Kokoru
I think going Blu-ray without knowing the future of whether Bluray will stick, or HD-DVD will win out is insanely stupid... Also the cell-processor is the most powerful processor since Pentium 4 or whatever, but who knows how it will turn out in a couple of years...I mean has it been properly tested? Has there been benchmark tests for real world gaming situations, not just stupid ass ducks in a bathtub? Not to mention the price... Yeah $599 is cheap for a Bluray player, and cheap when compared to a PC but guess what guys... this is a videogame console, not a PC, and not a standalone Bluray player... Too much money, and now the "no rumble" unless they make up with Immersion is really a shot to thier foot... I wouldn't want Sony to drop out of videogames as Sega did, but I definitely don't see Sony at #1 at the end of this console war, unless 2 things happen... Bluray becomes the new standard, and they lower PS3 production costs allowing for a $100-200 price reduction asap...
it mattersPosted: Jun 20, 2006 12:00AM PST by XILER8ER
having played moto gp lately, imo rumble matters alot. there are three ways gamers currently get feedback about the game they're playing. vision [the screen], sound and rumble. taking away the rumble only leaves us with 2 feedback sources. moto gp uses alot of vibration and helps to know when your oversteering/understeering. or when you've gone off the road slightly. ive also been playing table tennis alot lately and i cant imagine playing it without vibration on. incase anybody hasnt played it, the controller vibrates the closer you are to hitting a ball wide and vibrates much more when your shot is going to go wide - table tennis would be near impossible to play without the vibration. these are just 2 examples as its what ive been playing lately.
Yeah, who needs rumble! While we're at it, who needs 5.1 surround!Posted: Jun 20, 2006 12:00AM PST by vttym
8-Bit NES didn't have either, and look how legendary those games are! Seriously, rumble is essential to the overall immersion factor in games today. You don't notice how much it impacts gameplay until it's gone. Doing without rumble would be a step backwards, IMHO.
rumble is huge!Posted: Jun 20, 2006 12:00AM PST by firesidejordan
i cant imagine playing say halo or call of duty without it. it just limits the experience. if you play online in any shooter then you know what im talking about. i still cant believe you say it has no effect. thats crap! you know what have fun without rumble in next gen. i will be getting a more imersive experience while you complain about game getting less immersive. Have fun
Wii does rumblePosted: Jun 20, 2006 12:00AM PST by nPlastic
The Wii controller was rumbling at E3. It was a subtle, buzzing effect, but it was there and very noticable because of the way the Wii-mote is held. Rumble adds so much to games. I have a WaveBird, but I only use it under rare circumstances when I just have to game from "way over there." I'd rather pay the price of having a cable to get force feedback.
Wavebird=Great, even w\o rumblePosted: Jun 20, 2006 12:00AM PST by spookysqueak
'Nintendo's rumble packs are their own designs, though the company was unable to get its Wireless controller -- the Wavebird -- to use rumbling technology, "We could've helped them with that," Viegas said. "But they didn't ask."' You know why they didn't ask? It's not a big deal. It's nice to have the option (I for one love rumbling), but it's not essential. If Nintendo wanted it in the Wavebird, they would've put it in the Wavebird (have you looked at one lately, though? Where the hell would they have put it?).
Rumbling=not importantPosted: Jun 20, 2006 12:00AM PST by Fuzzygoatskick
I've owned a wavebird for 2 years now and never even noticed that it didn't rumble. It seriously makes no difference at all.
Taking out rumble = only 2/5 senses usedPosted: Jun 20, 2006 12:00AM PST by SuicideNinja
We've been HEARING and SEEING games for a long time now. Dual-motor rumble added a dynamic way to FEEL games as well. It is the only form of physical feedback we've receive from games thus far. When that Colossus steps onto the screen...you see, hear, and feel it. Without feeling it...the experience is lacking. Motion sensing cannot replace rumble to add a more immersive experience. We lose the FEEL part, in exchange for waving a controller around? In effect, we'd be exchanging more input for less feedback. Does giving more and receiving less sound immersive? If we had to start TASTING and SMELLING games though...I'd be a bit concerned. That's immersion we probably don't need for a while.
I dont think force feedback is needed for every game..Posted: Jun 20, 2006 12:00AM PST by mandangsbelow69
Alot of times I really find it to be annoying in a game of Madden, but its esential to a game like Grand turismo.
Very coolPosted: Jun 20, 2006 12:00AM PST by trekkerguy
The worse off Sony is the better, and it would be nice to see a future rerelease of the 360 controler(the way they did wih the "S type") that used this new tech. I would so buy one. Also I hope Nintendo doesnt end up sued by them, the big N rocks and I would hate to see them in the same type of trouble Sony is in.

Hugh Hefner, true to his Playboy nature, did not spend too long a time to grief over the loss of his bride. The 85-year-old has admitted the next woman in line into his room, picking Anna Sophia Berglund as his newest girlfriend.
Like Hefner's ex Crystal Harris, Anna is a Playboy Playmate too. According to TMZ's sources, Anna and Hef have called each other "babe" around people and they were even kissing and cuddling for an entire movie length during a recent movie night at the Playboy Mansion. "It's clear Hef has moved on to Anna," a source said.
Hef did not comment on his new muse, but tweeted on his supposed wedding day to Crystal, "A number of good friends & Playmates gathered at the Mansion tonight to lend their support during this difficult time. Bless them."
Crystal said after canceling their wedding, "I called it off because I didn't think it was the right thing for me to do. Hef's lifestyle isn't the most normal lifestyle and that was another thing where I was kind of like, 'This isn't the lifestyle for me' - multiple girls around all the time and the Playboy lifestyle - I don't know. I just wanted to be true to myself and he's fine. He has really close people around him all the time."
If Hef spent his supposed wedding day on June 18 gathering with friends at the mansion, Crystal chose to party at Las Vegas' Wet Republic. "I'm doing okay," she told People. "I just had to get away. Today is the day and I just had to get away. I'm going back tonight so I just wanted to get away for the day."

Pair arrested in Rutland street disruptionBy Brent Curtis
STAFF WRITER | January 21,2013Two men were arrested Sunday night in Rutland after police from three agencies were called to disperse a crowd that gathered over a dispute on School Street.
More than 40 people were reportedly involved in a series of heated verbal and physical confrontations in the city's southwest neighborhood, Rutland Police Sgt. John Sly said.
"A lot of people came out to watch or get involved," Sly said.
In what he described as a "convoluted sequence of events" police were initially called to 36 Meadow Street at 4:23 p.m. for a reported fight.
At the scene, Sly said police found about 10 people arguing about the theft of a cell phone and a missing hat.
Sly said police left the scene believing that the parties would stay separated. But more than three hours later they were called back when some of the same people involved in the earlier dispute moved to 79 School St. where a crowd had
The size of the gathering was so great that city police called for backup from Vermont State Police and the Rutland County Sherriff's Department as well as another shift of officers coming on duty in the city.
Police also arrested two participants — 19-year-old Tiler Cormia and Nicholas Prior, 20, both of Rutland — on charges of disorderly conduct.

Hey guys, I am coding for http://affordablepaintingandwallpaper.com/ and I recently installed the OG plugin. It works great except for one small issue. On the main page of the site it's fine but on sub pages, the plugin inserts the OG:URL with an https instead of http. The client doesn't want to purchase an SSL and therefore the OG:URL is causing Facebook not to be able to scrap any info from the page.
For example: what should be http://affordablepaintingandwallpaper.com/services is listing as https://affordablepaintingandwallpaper.com/services even though the link rel="canonical" is correct. Anyone know why this plugin is doing this?

My home is not worth what they want they admitted they could release it for less and then told me that because you have never been late with a payment we have no reason to release you.When I told them that if I dont pay my credit goes to hell and I coulndt refinance anyway and they chuckled and said that thats not our problem. Any help anyone can give will be a blessing. I was recently diagnosed with cancer and just want to releive my family of this burden.

#2 Consumer Suggestion
Response to "UPSIDE DOWN" comments...
SUBMITTED: Thursday, August 18, 2005POSTED: Thursday, August 18, 2005
On the basis of the information you have given, and without reviewing your loan documents, there really is not enough information for anyone to make an informed determination about your interactions with the reported Wilshire Credit Corporation. I can tell you, however, that this credit corporation is not a business I would want to do business with!
When you first purchased this home, could it be that this lender knew in the beginning that your loan was "up-side" down? Or could it be that you paid the lender in the beginning the difference between the purchase price and the loan amount?
EXAMPLE: ($87,000.00 PURCHASE PRICE - 60,000.00 LOAN AMOUNT = "UPSIDE DOWN" $27,000.00 DIFFERENCE) or $87,000.00 PURCHASE PRICE - $50,000.00 LOAN AMOUNT = ("UPSIDE DOWN" $37,000.00 DIFFERENCE) cash you needed to get the first loan + costs, including fees?
In most cases, before the lender makes a loan to you for the purchase of a home, you pay THE LENDER for the appraisal, but the lender will get(order) the appraisal and you can access a copy for your records, AND if the appraisal comes in at $50,000.00 then this is usually about the amount of the loan that the lender will give the purchaser.
Lenders are regulated by law as to what they can loan, length of time for making the loan, fees they can charge, how those fees are applied, etc.
If you paid a substantial amount of money above appraisal amount to get into this home, in my opinion it is a bit much to just "THROW TO THE DOGS" give up on(lose) and again I would recommend that you discuss this matter with a professional in your state...Real Estate Attorney. There might be additional options available to you especially if you had a real estate agent involved in this purchase; possible complaint with the Real Estate Department, etc. GOD BLESS! WILL HOPEFULLY SEE YOUR REPORTED PROGRESS!

#3 Consumer Suggestion
Upside Down
AUTHOR: Larry - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Saturday, August 13, 2005POSTED: Saturday, August 13, 2005
It sounds like you purchased your home at some time in the past and the payoff amount on your mortgage is now $87,000. It also sounds like you think the lender should lower the payoff amount to as low as $50,000 because you think that is all the house is worth and that the lender should then refinance your loan reflecting your lower appraisal.
The lender has no reason whatsoever to do what you are seeking. You are asking them to take up to a $27,000 loss. You can shop around for another lender and a lower interest rate, but you're still going to have to pay off the existing mortgage. If you really do owe $87,000 on a house worth only $50,000 you have little chance of finding a new lender.
I'm not sure how you got into this situation, but you are upside down. You owe more than the house is worth. My guess is that you had some sort of financial problem in the past and got snared by a predatory lender.
Home ownership is not for everyone. If I were you I would immediately find an affordable apartment while your credit is still good then move out and stop making mortgage payments. Let the lender take the house. If you have no income other than disability payments, they won't have much of a chance to garnish your wages.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
#4 Consumer Comment
Loan Balance Amount, Payments, and Interest Rates
SUBMITTED: Saturday, August 13, 2005POSTED: Saturday, August 13, 2005
EXAMPLE: $100,000 LOAN FOR A 30 YEAR MORTGAGE with a 5% interest rate = $536.82 monthly (PI) plus property taxes in your state + your fire insurance will, of course, give you your total
payment + homeowner association dues, if any.
Your monthly property taxes would usually be included in your monthly loan(mortgage) payments and paid for by lenders.
If your current interest rate is 5%; when you refinance, of course, (then you would want a lower interest rate lowering your monthly loan payments) versus your current 5%. In many situations not usually lowered more than 2% less than your current rate.
If your credit rating, income (disability income counted but for approval from lender, must have income proof from Social Security), and other ducks are in order...should have no problem refinancing, and I would suggest shopping around with different lenders. Mortgage Broker's charge extra fees, but are good with helping you obtain a loan or with getting your refiance documents prepared and placed with a lender.
POINTS AND ORIGINATION FEES ARE most ALWAYS NEGOTIABLE!
When in doubt, suggest second opinion from other professional help for looking at your loan documents and or possible fraud discovery.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Skip to comments.What is the proper balance between privacy and security?
Posted on 06/23/2013 9:53:57 AM PDT by Jim RobinsonEdited on 06/23/2013 9:55:17 AM PDT by Jim Robinson. [history]
click here to read article
There cannot be a balance. I'd prefer 100% privacy over the government trying to inject just a little security into my life, because that would then mean I'd have to give up my privacy for them to do such a thing.
While immediately after 9/11 I was pissed and all in favor of invading Afghanistan for sole the purpose of finding and capturing or otherwise killing Bin Laden and his henchmen, I came to realize, years even before Obamas presidency, (yes, under GWB and I hold him in part accountable for this mess road to Hell and Good Intentions and all that), that the invasion and occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq, the WOT, the Patriot Act, FISA courts, the Department of Homeland Security, the TSA (yea, the near strip searching of 90 year olds, 3 year olds, elderly nuns, the disabled, etc.) all of it, has done nothing, and I would go to say absolutely nothing to make us safer but has done everything to erode or more precisely further erode the rights of American Citizens - all under the guise of security or what I and others refer to as security theater.
I understand the need for covert operations in hostile foreign countries or the need for limited boots on the ground in certain situations, i.e. CIA operatives, small tactical forces, surgical strikes, satellite observation of military targets or even the interception of communications to and from hostile countries among and between those who actually pose risk and the need to keep that under a security clearance and need to know basis, but what we have here is card blanche by an increasingly corrupt and despotic government to eaves drop on anyone and everyone at anytime for any reason.
While in response to the NSA leaks the government has made claims that some 50 terrorist attacks were thwarted via PRISM and such other data mining operations, Ive seen absolutely no evidence that substantiate such claims and dont expect to as the government will say they cant tell us because it would give away our secrets. IMO the only real secret that was exposed by Snowden was that our own government is spying on everyone, with a mere rubber stamp or at the discretion of some low level and not too well screened analyst or by the DOJ (Eric Holder presently). What is to stop the DOJ and the WhiteHut from putting their own folks within the NSA or one of their contractors? I mean seriously, if Snowden got a SC, who else did and how and why? Do you really feel safer now?
First of all while most of these Jihadist or Jihadist wannabes like the Boston Bombers are quite simply not all that bright. But Im also fairly certain that even they, if not exactly brain trusts already know that their cell phone calls, emails and internet activity can be tracked in real time. The very few terrorists who do manage to pull something off on our soil, it is not due to their brilliant strategy or highly sophisticated methods (the 9/11 plot was brilliant if only in its stupidly brilliant simplicity and their shear stupid luck they had in pulling it off), its most often dumb stupid luck or our own ineptness to acknowledge from where the real dangers emanate our unsecured boarders and political correctness and refusal to deal with the threat of Islam. Most of these Jihadist wannabes are more likely to blow themselves up than they are to harm any of us.
It should be noted that I as the daughter of an immigrant am not anti-immigration but why in the name of common sense would we allow Visas or student Visas to people from countries with well known terrorist ties into this country at all or at the very least without serious vetting, anal probe vetting and close observation. Yea, I know profiling is wrong unless you are a native born American who is Christian and or a Tea Party member. s/
Secondly, the massive collection of, if even only metadata and not the content of all communications which I am not convinced is not happening, is completely useless unless we already know who to pick out for listening and that sort of thing is only found by covert operatives (selective covert boots on the ground), infiltration of true terrorist organizations like CAIR and not domestic political opponents via harassment via the IRS, aka the Tea Party Orgs and other such similarly minded conservative political or religiously based groups, and the cooperation of other countries who share a similar self interest in rooting out terrorists. But as with the Boston Bombers, we knew all about the Brothers Tsarnaev long in advance thanks to the Russians whose warning we chose to ignore. We could have most likely prevented the Boston Marathon Bombing just as we could have most likely prevented 9/11 if we had ever been serious about National Security. Hint - neither the 9/11 terrorists nor the Brothers Tsarnaev should have ever been let into this country in the first place and in both cases, we had the warnings and many people raising the red flags, all which were ignored until it was too late.
Next when I consider that twice as many American soldiers have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan as were killed in the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and that we helped the regime in Egypt to fall only to be replaced by the Muslim Brotherhood; just as we (Carter) helped cause the fall of the Shaw of Iran to be replaced by the Imans and the Nazi sympathizer Ahmadinejad and the enemies against our only true ally in the region, Israel; that we ousted Saddam Hussein, who I have come to believe, while certainly not a very nice guy and in fact a bloody tyrant within his own boarders, was much less a danger to US interests that what we have now in Iraq. And I now see that we are negotiating with the Taliban in Afghanistan and are about to arm the Syrian rebels. We need also to remind ourselves that we funded and funneled arms to the Mujahedeen and to Bin Laden via Pakistan during the Soviet war in Afghanistan. Looking back and realizing that hindsight is always 20-20, we should have sided with the Soviets to stamp out the rise and further influence of radical Islamism in that region as that was more in our mutual self interests instead of us throwing in behind China and Saudi Arabia. We helped create and further train the monster that was Bin Laden and is Al Qaeda.
The prolonged Soviet war in Afghanistan may have helped propel the fall of the Soviet regime but then I have to now ask, to what end? Sure I was happy to see the Soviet Block fall, but first of all, did Communism ever really go away? And are we really safer now with a fractured Soviet Block? Sure the Soviets were our enemy but then we knew who they were and in some ways it was a gentlemens chess game. Now we have former Soviet Block countries like Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Chechnya under the control of Islamists the USSR kept an iron boot on and limited the ethnic and Islamic factions and granted in some not so pretty ways but with the fall of the Soviet block, are we really better off with these factions not being contained and restrained even by the Communists?
Lastly we need to understand that a highly motivated person or persons, be them foreign or domestic, a terror cell or a lone nut job, with or without a lot of brains or sophistication and with some good luck and good timing, can pull off a terrorist attack or a murderous rampage. While a terrible event for those involved and I sincerely feel for the victims who lost limbs and whose lives are forever changed, the Boston Marathon Bombing killed a total of 3 people count them - 3.
So was this really worth locking down an entire city for several days and allowing local and federal LEOs to forcibly enter homes without warrants all in the name of security while hunting down some idiot teenager with a gun and possibly a pressure cooker? FWIW, I lived most of my life in Baltimore City three people dead? Were I came from we called that a relatively peaceful Saturday Night.
And as I noted previously, this didnt need to happen in the first place if we truly wanted to protect our National Security, but does this the type of event justify the limitless snooping by the NSA into all our communications? No. The Colorado Batman Movie nut job and the Sandy Hook Elementary School killer used guns to murder many more people than the Tsarnaev brothers, but does that justify further eroding of our 2nd Amendment Rights. Oh Hell No!
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.
Very well stated.
Paul Weston is a British politician and leader of the Liberty GB party in the UK who dearly loves his country and want the culture to stay the same.
Very well said, both of you. Thanks.
********Against whom?********
Against the Tea Party.
They would be finished by now.
I'm not saying to round specific groups up, just monitor their activities when international calls are being made, etc.
After all, what the NSA ends up with is profiling once they get down to the very few players in the terrorist mess.
Clearly the government believes they should decide, not the country,
Unfortunately, we have politicians and judges who don't give a damn about the Constitution.
Someone with good editing tools needs to make a NSA Warrant showing EVERYONE as the target of the NSA search warrant.
We should err on the side of privacy, accept that we live on the brink of annihilation, and destroy Muslims at every opportunity and with great brutality. Allah's servants should understand only that to enrage the US is to disappear in a flash and a haze of radioactive dust, and that the US will be enraged at the least slight, let alone acts of terrorism. We should not give up being a free society when the means exist to cause the extinction of those who would kill us, along with their sympathizers, and those who would seek revenge on their behalf.
Very very well said
It is our elected "representatives" that are legislating and funding every infraction against our Constitutional rights.
The problem with the logic of that position is that it implies that the Constitution is the source of man's rights, which it is not. The Constitution doesn't give anyone any rights, it only restricts the government's powers to infringe upon those rights which already exist. The source of all men's rights is not the people, the government, or the Constitution, it is God. It is generally held that "rights" are given by God to all men not just Americans. This is the principle of Natural Law upon which this country and the Constitution are based, and this principle is openly declared in the the Declaration of Independence which says:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights..."
Privileges of US citizens (e.g. voting etc.) certainly can be restricted to Americans because they are granted by law. Rights, however, cannot be restricted, because they are universally given to all men by their Creator.
I would go so far to say that anyone that came to the U.S. illegally is at war with the U.S. and the citizens, as well. But that is just me.
Thank you!
It amazes me that so many folk, supposedly knowledgeable about our society, blow it by conflating rights with privileges.

Revolt is coming.
The 2nd protects the other 9.
Profiling would work.
The current administration isn't as concerned with possible terrorists as they are about conservatives. So using the excuse to "keep us safe", they are going after US.
"What is the proper balance between privacy and security?"
The second amendment.
" Theyre not collecting all this info to fight terrorists. Theyre collecting it to use against US!"

iPhone Review: Eliss
By Levi Tinney Mar 18, 2009 8:05PM PST
Category: iPhone Reviews
Tags: iPhone
is the first iPhone game that has made me swear. I don't think
I've sworn so much at a game since Geometry Wars 2 on the Xbox
360, although the graphics and music remind me more of a different
twin-stick game, Everyday Shooter.
Those are just superficial comparisons though, as the game is a bit tougher to grok than those relatively straightforward experiences. In Eliss, the idea of the game is frantic screen management: different colored circles randomly appear on the screen, and you have to keep the colors away from each other. If two different colors touch, your life meter starts to drop. If it drops all the way, you fail that encounter. If two same-colored circles touch, they combine in one larger circle. At the same time as you're managing the colored circles, circular, color-coded outlines appear, and the goal of the game is to fill those outlines with the appropriately sized solid colored circles. If the solid circle is too small, you need to combine it with other circles, but if it is too big you need to split it into smaller pieces by using two fingers to drag the circle apart. Filling the outlines causes it to "Supernova" and disappear, and once you get enough supernovas you clear the level. If all that is a bit abstract, there is a video of Eliss in action at the developer's website, www.toucheliss.com.
Eliss is a game that couldn't exist on a traditional gaming platform, as everything in the game depends on the iPhone's multi-touch capabilities. I tried playing the game with just my two thumbs, but was laughably ineffective. The only way I was able to get anywhere in the game was laying the device down flat and using three or four fingers simultaneously. Trying to keep the colors from touching each other while at the same time managing the size of the circles so you can get enough supernovas to pass the screen is a frantic, fast-paced and challenging task. As you advance further in the game, it starts to throw in gravity-wells, concentric circles that pull all the objects in the screen towards it. If you don't have your fingers on all of objects on the screen, they'll co-mingle and cause you to fail. Trying to multitask enough to manage everything on the screen can sometimes feel a bit like trying to pat your head and rub your stomach at the same time, and the difficultly curve spikes upwards pretty early on in the game.
Despite the freshness of the game's concepts, it has a retro feel in both its graphics and sound. All the beeps and boops of its soundtrack charmed me enough that I almost forgot to test if it could be played with songs from my iPhone's library! I am happy to report that I was able to, which is something that it'll keep me coming back to the game in the future.
The Verdict:
So, uh, what kind of game is Eliss anyway? Eliss is a somewhat unique experience, playing like a hybrid of the frantic, fast-paced action of a Geometry Wars with the color-matching blobs of Puyo Puyo. I would call it a puzzler, but it's not one you have a lot of time to puzzle over. Quick reflexes and the manual dexterity to do three or four things at once are a must.
Is it worth the $3.99? Eliss is the kind of game that gets me excited about the iPhone as a game platform. It might be the fart-noise apps that are getting the press, but it's games like Eliss, Edge, and Zen Bound that truly define what the iPhone represents for gaming. As long as the significant challenge doesn't scare you off, I'd pick this one up in a heartbeat.

After four (4) months I had not received service, they gave me four (4)different phone numbers within that time. Each month they charged me for service I never received.
I finally received service in the middle of March. I asked them to remove the charges for the months I had not received any services. I talked with the internet customer care representatives consistantly about not having received services but receiving bills for these services.
They "credited" the account for $90 which was only a portion of the amount charged for all three lines to which I never received service.
I told them the account should not have been credited but all charges should have been cancelled. I was told that their " Credit Experts" had reviewed the account and said that was all they would do. I was to pay for services I had never recieved and telephone numbers that never got hooked up.
I immediately cancelled the service. I will be filing a formal complaint to the Illinois Consumers Commissions

The Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum and the Charles Allis Art Museum have been blessed with chairs — or artistic riffs on chairs — created by local artists for this auction at 6 p.m. at the Villa Terrace. The seats range from an old easy chair dressed as a cozy grandmother to a pew made from doors to a partial-chair that's now totally sculptural. Other seats for auction are ones at theatrical productions, sporting events or a table in a local fine dining establishment. The evening also features live music, hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar. Tickets are $25. Making a reservation would be appreciated and can be done by calling Ann Steinbach at (414) 278-8295 Ext. 5, but it isn't mandatory.

Urban Forest Mobile Apps
To make analysis and data collection of urban forests easier in the field, a few organizations have adapted their tools to mobile versions.
- i-Tree Mobile is a new data collection system that is available for i-Tree Streets and i-Tree Eco. This allows users to enter data from the field and take advantage of the GPS abilities of smartphones and tablets.
Urban Forest Cloud Tree Inventory App allows users to inventory trees in an easy-to-use webmap and export the data to an ESRI shapefile or MS Excel/Access file for use in other software applications. It serves as a tool for individuals without tree inventory software and as a supplemental, highly accessible tool for those with inventory software.
- Tree Sense is a mobile app from The Davey Tree Expert Company. The app allows users to quantify and qualify the benefits of trees, including air quality, electricity savings and stormwater reduction. Users can also figure out the best placement for future tree plantings in order to maximize their benefits.

|Novel Rho GTPase Involved in Cytokinesis and Cell Wall Integrity in the Fission Yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe
|Santos Romero, Beatriz; Pérez González, Pilar; Gutiérrez, Javier; Mateo Calonge, María Teresa
|Issue Date:
|American Society for Microbiology
|Eukaryot Cell 2(3): 521–533 (2003)
|The Rho family of GTPases is present in all eukaryotic cells from yeast to mammals; they are regulators in signaling pathways that control actin organization and morphogenetic processes. In yeast, Rho GTPases are implicated in cell polarity processes and cell wall biosynthesis. It is known that Rho1 and Rho2 are key proteins in the construction of the cell wall, an essential structure that in Schizosaccharomyces pombe is composed of β-glucan, α-glucan, and mannoproteins. Rho1 regulates the synthesis of 1,3-β-d-glucan by activation of the 1,3-β-d-glucan synthase, and Rho2 regulates the synthesis of α-glucan by the 1,3-α-d-glucan synthase Mok1. Here we describe the characterization of another Rho GTPase in fission yeast, Rho4. rho4Δ cells are viable but display cell separation defects at high temperature. In agreement with this observation, Rho4 localizes to the septum. Overexpression of rho4+ causes lysis and morphological defects. Several lines of evidence indicate that both rho4+ deletion or rho4+ overexpression result in a defective cell wall, suggesting an additional role for Rho4 in cell wall integrity. rho4Δ cells also accumulate secretory vesicles around the septum and are defective in actin polarization. We propose that Rho4 could be involved in the regulation of the septum degradation during cytokinesis.
