I've received this introduction from my friend Paolo Proni and i gladly publish it:
From longtime the common opinion about Java is that it is a heavy environment, which requires a powerful hardware and sometimes it seems the power is never enough. It seems that in order to do the same tasks that we could do 10 years ago, even the last generation machines are not enough.
That is simply not true.
The slowness of many Java programs is due to the wrong choices of the software architects, who have given a low priority to the efficiency, preferring the extreme flexibility or the productivity, when it was the case of not concentrating to the delivery time only…
It is a plaisure to discover on the Internet some little jewels, such as the Tini , where a 8 bit microcontroller can run some small Java programs in a decent way.

"There is nothing scheduled. We do not have a date," Dion's husband and manager, René Angélil, 68, tells PEOPLE.
"They want Celine's pregnancy to go as long as possible, at least until the first week of November," adds Dion's rep, referring to the singer's doctors. "She would never intentionally endanger her unborn children by scheduling a birth early like this."
Angélil and the rep also refute a report that Dion, 42, has made diva demands, such as handpicking her nursing staff and reserving a room for a security team.
"It's all false," says the rep. "Celine and her doctors are hopeful that she can continue her pregnancy as long as possible, and hope to get her to at least 37 weeks gestation to ensure the healthiest outcome for her children."

Orchard Park
Town police and fire district officials are looking into obtaining auxiliary power for radio equipment on the water tower in the village. The power source to the tower was interrupted recently, and police officials want to have a backup before the town places its new radio equipment on the tower.
Lt. Joseph Wehrfritz said the town hopes to share the cost of the backup power with the fire district.
Village voters will choose from among three candidates running for three trustee positions in elections March 19.
Incumbents Joseph R. Wales and Francis T. Hogenkamp are running on the Republican and Village First party lines. Mitchell Nowakowski will run on the Conservative and Democratic lines, and Wales also has the Conservative endorsement. Mayor John B. Wilson, running with the Republican and Village First endorsements, is unopposed.
Also this week:
• The town Zoning Board of Appeals will meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the basement meeting room of the municipal center, 4295 S. Buffalo St.
• The Town Board will hold a work session at 6 p.m. Wednesday in the supervisor's conference room followed by a regular meeting in the court room in the municipal center.
• The village Zoning Board of Appeals will meet at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the municipal center.

5 smartphones that'll give the iPhone 5 some heated competition
0. phoneArena 13 Sep 2012, 00:15 posted on
Now that the iPhone 5 is all-official, there are many people in the industry who feel a bit underwhelmed by the announcement. Sure, it's bigger, faster, and stronger than its predecessor, but as a whole, it might not embody all the necessary characteristics to deem...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

What ? No Xperia T/V ?
18. XiphiasGladius (Posts: 813; Member since: 21 Aug 2011)
The Xperia V is more than enough IMHO. . .
98. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Yeah, the staff of this site..shame on you.
The Xperia V - 4G, 4.3 inch of HD screen with white magic, S4 processor, featherlight, WATERPROOF, 13MP Exmor 2 camera, SD slot, ALMOST HALF THE IPHONE 5 PRICE - what the heck more do you want?!
99. dudeyoureabarista (Posts: 16; Member since: 24 Jun 2012)
I see one major typo in this article. These phones aren't competition or serious contenders to the iPhone 5, they are the iPhone 5 defeaters. Please change that Phonearena you misspelled competition and contender
101. loken (Posts: 462; Member since: 09 May 2012)
Its like PhoneArena Hates Sony... Look at their reviews... "Lack of Oleophobic Coating"...
102. the_matchless (Posts: 64; Member since: 01 Apr 2012)
It's, as I said before, more about PR stuff. The i-phonearena and such other sites very conveniently ignore Sony products.
I mean seriously, it's funny to see Motorola and LG Being mentioned while Sony is left out... in fact this puts doubt on the credibility of the reviewers...
I have used GS2 & I replaced it with the Arc S purely for its originality & superior feel & with their new dual cores (t, tx, v) they have proven the point that I have always advocated that dual core phones are more than enough for the time being.
50. soshi (Posts: 154; Member since: 08 Mar 2012)
Xperia V is much better. but sony marketing way is different, more artistic so most people can't understand.
73. the_matchless (Posts: 64; Member since: 01 Apr 2012)
Sometimes it feels as if the Sony PR team is not working well with the Reviewers not keeping them enough happy and so they are often ignored and yes I agree Sony is far more articulate in their designing. They do have designers on their payroll rather than engineers doing it all lol

I was surprised there's no note 2. I think it's the next big thing.
Really! BIG BIG THING! That thing is a monster! :D
86. infinitemethod (Posts: 149; Member since: 04 Sep 2012)
Probably because it's in a whole other category, phablets. The Note II though, hardware and software wise is the best smartphone on the market and will be for a while. Love that thing! Also, all of these other phones that were mentioned slap the new iPhone in the face, especially the Galaxy S III.
2. wumberpeb (Posts: 453; Member since: 14 Mar 2011)
Holy crap, I can't wait for the Note II...talk about heated competition for the iPhone
76. KParks23 (Posts: 618; Member since: 13 Oct 2010)
Note 2 and the rumored HTC 5inch phone will own this spec wise but people will still line up to buy the iphone i hope HTC brings the big guns to there conference maybe it will take some focus off of apple before the iphone hits the streets..i didnt see anything innovative at all im really impressed with the 920 also

Nothing will touch the iPhone sales within the next 3-6 months. The only way Samsung could defeat able is by coming out with a smartphone every 5-6 months in hopes to beat them by selling an army. Rather than concentrate on the materials of the phone and timely updates they would rather beat Apple with Quantity rather than Quality. Apple will exceed Samsung, LG, HTC, and Motorola's profits all alone.
6. wendygarett (unregistered)
Whether the sales is good or not is none if your business... Say what you want... It doesn't affect our decision...
48. joey_sfb (Posts: 5741; Member since: 29 Mar 2012)
The sales will be good there no doubt about that. Apple have hundreds of millions of fans.
14. Captain_Doug (Posts: 997; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)
And yet it will be the most boring phone out there.
22. Jphones (Posts: 235; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)
quality? are you serious That glass soda can is better quality than the SGIII noooooooooo. An how can you blame Samsung for diversifying their portfolio? They gotta be like Apple an make 1 overratted and hyped phone every year and every other year just add some new feature and call it an upgrade. Only reason the i5 does great in sales because of thier marketing budget and its seen as a status symbol but we all know all of them look EXACTLY THE SAME. ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THE CASE, NOWHERE NEAR THE INDIVIDUALISM OF ANDROID. If somebody lost their iphone without a case in a pile of maybe 20 iphones how long would it take them to find their phone without going through contacts? FOREVER
42. jove39 (Posts: 1858; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
On profit...iPhone is manufactured in china and Samsung phones are manufactured in korea...and we all know manufacturing china is cheap...so Apple get double benefit...low cost and they sell at higher margin!!!
84. iphoneisthebest79 (Posts: 70; Member since: 23 May 2012)
knowing that SGS 3 made of cheap plastique and it cost about 600€ for 16G, WTF YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT BENEFIT????
both of them get double benefit
NOTE : i put a € sign not a dollar sign because i live in europe
87. SleepingOz (unregistered)
Get your facts right buddy. Polycarbonate ain't cheap at all. Build quality is another story though..
59. whysoserious (Posts: 318; Member since: 20 Jul 2012)
You meant "Samsung could defeat 'Apple,'" right? Stop using Siri when posting on PA, you're making yourself look worse.
71. MeoCao (unregistered)
What pride is there for you when Apple gets most profits? They lock you in and sell an port adapter for $30 with profit margin of 90% something.
What we care about is value for customers, not how much an OEM earns.

The Zomb(I)es with be out in full force buying the iphone 5, and calling it iphone 5G.
108. supertacoeater (Posts: 1; Member since: 20 Sep 2012)
how can you consider lower specs higher quality, last i checked the last phones samsung has put out has blown the iphone out of the water... if it wasnt for the blind followers of apple that live in a bubble where the iphone is on a level which no phone can ever reach then im pretty sure iphone sales would have dropped a while ago
110. PhoneG33k (Posts: 6; Member since: 18 Jul 2012)
When will iFans realize that we Fandroids do NOT want a phone that 20 million people have. We like options, we like all sorts of shapes, sizes, designs, optional keyboards, open OS, customization, etc, but most of all FREEDOM. I can do what I want when I want (< notice all the capital I's, because I'm a big boy and don't need iGimicks) Apple can mass produce all the iProducts they want, and you can buy all the Banana Republic Turtlenecks and skinny jeans. We don't care. The only thing apple has going for them is the make the best "closed OS" for "closed minded" consumers. Open your eyes and open the possibilities, and actually make a choice that is your own. If you like iOS and the iPhone at least know why you're buying it, other than "iDunno, its an iPhone right?"
7. Savage (unregistered)
No doubtedly you'll compare every flagship with iPhone in the next few weeks. We want Phone Arena to clearly state a winner. Most of the flagships have Jellybean so its just as smooth as iOS. Saying that you can't go wrong with either will be unacceptable.
26. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
I don't think you can state a winner without pissing off a lot of people.
36. Savage (unregistered)
What's the point of comparing then?
55. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
so you can see the differences/similarities feature by feature and decide which are most important to you. Duh!
67. Savage (unregistered)
And what if I wanna know which device is better as a whole? They don't tell us that for some reason.
68. tedkord (Posts: 11659; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
The difference is not every phone is ideal for every person. Some want a huge screen, some don't. Some want customization options, others want simplicity. My co-worker values indestructibility, only gets the military spec phones that can survive under water, etc...(He got a Samsung Rugby)
There is no single best cellphone anymore. We have many choices, and that's a win for us.
40. Stoli89 (Posts: 333; Member since: 28 Jun 2010)
Phones have become a 16 hour per day experience, so it's logiical that consumers become attached, literally, to a brand. Throw in their respective investments in related ecosystems, and it's even clearer why these discussions seem more like conversations about one's religion or political party. At this point, 75% of the discussion is pure emotion. No wonder Apple is making BILLIONS. If Mr. Cook really wanted to surpass Steve Jobs success he would convert Apple into an official religion for the zero tax status.

I hope at least this time the ifans will realise which is a better phone which caters their needs and buy that instead of just blindly buying the Iphone5 just because its an iphone ...

I'm confused
Phonearena say that a6 chips is quad core...
Is it quad core processor or just quad core gpu...
I need some expert here to reply thanks :)
23. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Apple hasn't told, so you aren't supposed to ask ;-) Don't you just want to focus on the user experience?
Back to your question, I suspect the cpu is dual core with the gpu being quad core.
BTW, another Ely Tran Ha photo for your profile pic? Or, are you the other one in the photo?
37. wendygarett (unregistered)
I also suspect it is the dual core... And I won't fall on Apple marketing gimmicks any more... That why I rather listen to you guys even thought you are an android fanboy :)
Nope. None of the above are me... Disappoint?
41. jove39 (Posts: 1858; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
Well...since soc has smaller footprint than A5...folks at AnandTech suspect A6 has 2xA15 cpu cores built on Samsung's 32nm HKMG...or...or...its just A5x built on 32nm...so...untill Apple spill the beans or someone tear apart iPhone5...no one knows...we all are guessing!!!
44. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
"...even thought you are an android fanboy :)"
Me? My feelings are hurt. ;-) If Apple produced a phone that was truly competitive with the best of the Android community, I would consider it. I was thinking about the Lumia 920 until Nokia biffed the product announcement.
"Nope. None of the above are me... Disappoint?"
What you want to post as your profile pic is your choice. You seem to be a follower of Ely Tran Ha, though.

29. Nookie4u (Posts: 133; Member since: 13 Aug 2012)
As far as the internet says:
A6 chip has two cortex cores and quad core GPU.
have a look down the link
anyone can correct me if i'm wrong.
52. doejon (Posts: 398; Member since: 31 Jul 2012)
they said 2 times faster that means dualcore ;-)
11. Gemmol (Posts: 792; Member since: 09 Nov 2011)
I have a GALAXY NOTE and I am tired of reading all this bashing because people like a product you do not like, go get a life SERIOUSLY, and for people who say iphone just caught up need to get their head check, first of all they do not use andriod os, so why do they need a quad core processor.......this makes no sense their operating system is faster then andriod without the extra processing power, so why is everyone comparing apples to oranges when its painfully obvious they are not the same......find a new hobby man......its just crazy going through many apple articles to read apple just caught on......then you have people defending why one andriod device cant outsell one apple device.......you need to stop making excuses if you do this for phone device you must do this a lot for life problems
16. sadaivadai (Posts: 156; Member since: 22 Nov 2011)
really a good comment ... but the prize you would get here for such comments is only dislikes :(
19. Gemmol (Posts: 792; Member since: 09 Nov 2011)
its true, if you express an opinion on here, it would get a thumbs down but for some reason I have not gotten one yet maybe times are changing since Apple reveal its phone
28. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
sorry but for the people sayin it jus caught up are jus as ignoranant as you if you believe the iphone 5 is any where near the xperia v the razr maxx hd and the galaxy S3
the iphone is still bland and the company is still corrupt......peace
38. wendygarett (unregistered)
You just don't get it do you :)
43. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
im guessin you're talkin to someone else..... :)
45. wendygarett (unregistered)
He never say iPhone is good... He just felt that our fanboyism is very annoying... I hope you understand :)
51. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
ummm well that would exclude me......lol but the way i see it......even the fandroids have some what good reasons to say somthin about apple even if it does appear to be blatant fanboys talking because in almost all areas the iphone is "lame" sorry wendy

That's ok :) I know everyone hates Apple so I understand

For years, Eli Evans has written about history: Civil War history, his own history as a Jew growing up in the South. And his efforts are driven by an undying fascination with cultural inheritance and identity.
Evans was born in Durham, N.C. His family owned and operated United Department Stores, and for 12 years, 1951-63, his father, Emanuel Evans, served as the city's mayor.
"Jews in the North talked about playing stickball and fighting their way through fierce anti-Semitism," he said in a telephone interview last week. "I was picking blackberries and playing basketball and doing all the things young Southern people do."
In 1973, he finished his first book, "The Provincials," a portrait of Jews in the South.
Then he turned his attention to one of the Confederacy's most fascinating characters, Judah P. Benjamin, publishing a biography in 1989.
"I really came to feel over the course of all this that there was a unique Southern Jewish consciousness," Evans said.
Benjamin was born a British subject in St. Croix and spent part of his youth in Charleston. His father was one of the founders of the first Reform synagogue in the United States, Kahal Kadosh Beth Elohim.
In 1832, Benjamin moved to New Orleans, where he practiced law, owned slaves and served as a Louisiana state legislator and U.S. senator. He was nearly nominated for a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court, but declined. Instead, he became Jefferson Davis' attorney general, then secretary of war, then secretary of state. He was widely credited with being one of the masterminds of the Confederacy.
Benjamin, Evans said, had been grossly misunderstood by historians, who had relied on second-hand accounts of his life because he had burned most of his papers after the Civil War.
"There's a great mystery about him," Evans said. "He was consciously Jewish but decided not to show it. He was haunted by anti-Semitism the whole period he was a public figure, but never denied his Jewishness."
Evans is in Charleston today to talk about Benjamin. Hosted by the College of Charleston's Jewish Studies Program, Evans is one of several guests lecturing on Civil War issues this semester. His talk is scheduled for 10:15 a.m. in the Stern Center Ballroom at George and Glebe streets.
"He had this smile that he always wore, and it was kind of a pleasant smile," Evans said of Benjamin. "He never was rattled in public."
He was a great orator, always presenting a reasoned states'-rights argument. Though, as a Jew, he certainly would have struggled more in other Southern cities, he was accepted in New Orleans because of the town's tolerance, diversity and plethora of opportunity, Evans said.
Soon, he would become "Jefferson Davis' Jew."
Because he was on the wrong side of history, though, his story is not as widely known as it deserves to be, Evans said.
About a year ago, Evans was summoned to the American Jewish Historical Society because 120 letters written by Benjamin and to Benjamin had been discovered in Rhode Island.
The pre-Civil War correspondence shed new light on this complicated figure, Evans said.
Among the letters' revelations is Benjamin's idea for building a canal across Mexico, connecting the settled part of the U.S. to the West and Orient and boosting commerce in his beloved New Orleans.
"He was a visionary actually," Evans said. "He could think on a grand scale."
Benjamin had gotten far with the project, securing bank investment and foreign support, but the U.S. government wouldn't let the plans proceed, Evans said. This was a time of growing tensions between the North and South, and the federal government had a bigger fish to fry: keeping the Union together.
On the subject of slavery, Benjamin was "complicated, brilliant," Evans said.
He wanted to get England on the side of the South. It would be in England's interest, he argued. The South had cotton, and a divided U.S. would mean a stronger U.K.
The problem was slavery. Britain had outlawed the trans-Atlantic slave trade in 1807, and its abolitionist movement was strong and influential.
Benjamin's answer? Free every slave who serves in the Confederate cause.
But that idea was rejected by a majority of Southerners who would have rather died themselves than see the institution of slavery go to its grave.

This is the first summer, in the history of all summers, that I haven't openly rejoiced with singing and clapping of hands at the arrival of the school supply aisle at Wal-mart. Maybe it's because school started so early for us this year or maybe because my kids sleep late, make themselves breakfast and only wake me so they can climb into bed with me and go back to sleep. Regardless of how I feel about it, summer is over and it's school time again.
That's not to say that I'm sad to see summer go. It's been hotter than a hoochie-coo down here in the Mississippi Delta and for the last week I've had to bribe my kids to go swimming. They've just lain on the floor, glassy eyed, staring at me with open mouths while I tried to talk them into bathing suits.
Wearing a swimsuit, sunscreen, a baseball hat and sunglasses, I cajole, "Come on, who's ready to go to the pool?"
"You are," Aubrey, my 9-year-old, says dryly from the floor — she swears it's cooler down there.
"Let's get dressed. Come on, or I'm going to leave you here." I threaten. (Don't worry, they know I won't actually leave them.)
"Bye." Emma, my 7-year-old, says from behind an iPad.
Sadie, my 4-year-old, puts on a swimsuit only after promises of Popsicles, and the suit she puts on belongs to her oldest sister. (Speaking of hoochie-coos — I can see hers.)
This is a big year for us, school wise — for the first time ever in the history of the family O'Bryant, all three of my children will be at the same school.
Do you hear that? That's angels singing.
Sadie is starting 4K at the Big Girls' elementary school, and I'm not sure who is more excited — me or Sadie. She gets to wear a uniform like her sisters (which, in case you were wondering, she is wearing right this very second) and I no longer have to drive all over creation to pick up, drop off and go to Christmas parties, school plays, etc. One location. One. Glory.
I always thought the day that Sadie started "Big School" would be bittersweet. I remember dropping Aubrey off for her first day of preschool as a 2-year-old and crying all the way back to our house in Savannah, Ga. It's funny how different milestones for different kids sneak up on you. Some make you cry. Some make you laugh. Some make you shout and sing praises in the school supply aisle at Walmart. And some milestones simply are.
My kids are all in elementary school and it just is. I'm excited for them, for the year they will have, to know that they will pass each other in the halls and be excited to see each other. I'm glad to have them all in one place, together, even if it's not with me — but just think of all the stories their teachers will be able to tell.

A Cheektowaga teenager and a Town of Tonawanda man are locked up on charges that they retaliated against a witness in a Buffalo murder case by shooting at him, although they instead wounded an innocent bystander.
Kentie Crump, 17, of Young Street, Cheektowaga, and Eric Smith, 22, of Englewood Ave., Tonawanda, were arraigned on assault and weapons charges Wednesday before State Supreme Court Justice Russell P. Buscaglia.
Crump and Smith argued with a 23-year-old man over the man's cooperation with Buffalo homicide detectives, who were investigating the stabbing and burning of 16-year-old Darren Brown in North Buffalo in July, said Erie County District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III.
The district attorney said the two retaliated against the man Aug. 5, when Smith handed Crump a loaded revolver, and Crump fired at the witness on St. Lawrence Avenue.
The bullet grazed the witness in the hand and then struck a 22-year-old St. Lawrence Avenue woman in the leg, causing a serious injury, according to the indictment.
Crump turned himself in to police Aug. 22, and Smith surrendered Sept. 7. Both are being held in the Erie County Holding Center on $300,000 bail. Their next court hearing is Oct. 19.
Sedita said the two would be aggressively prosecuted. "It's an affront to the entire criminal-justice system," Sedita said of witness intimidation. "It is rare, but it does happen. We won't tolerate it."
After Brown was stabbed to death, his killers left his body in a wooded area behind a custard stand on Colvin Avenue.
Demetrius Huff, 17, of Jewett Parkway, and Ezeiekile Nafi, 16, of East Amherst Street, have been charged with second-degree murder, with police alleging they took turns stabbing Darren more than 10 times, killing him. They later returned with gasoline to burn the body in an apparent attempt to destroy evidence that might lead back to them, police have said.

Israel Marks
Hi Trisha, I noticed you created a memorial for Israel Marks (15756747). I was friends with his great grandson when I was in the army. Israel is important enough to Mississippi state history that the center of Meridian has a monument to him. I would like to add biographical information to his memorial page. Would you have to transfer it to me or should I compile a nice bio and sent it to you and then you type it in? I am FB friends with the Ggrandson (Fred Marks). Since I'm not family I'm not sure if I should manage the site but I doubt Fred is a member. My member # is 48543126. Please advise, thanks!

RE: Dallas & Elsie Woodworth
Well that's interesting. I do know that Elsie's Mom was never married and died very young. Tracing her partner back, his ancestor came in 1630 on the "Lyon", a Pilgrim supply ship. Then he was one of the founders of Hartford, CT. I guess some of this is going to be hunches and guesses, and the only way to obtain solid evidence would involve a lot of travel and digging through archives. My Wife's Mom actually did do that for her ancestry. Took an extended World tour to Europe and Scandinavia and went into the Churches, where the actual records are. The things I have found on my own really blow my mind. Of the 100 people on Mayflower, we had two, my Wife has Five. Our 9X Great-Uncle lived in Governor Bradford's house for Ten years! On my Dad's side, I found Two men who fought in the Revolutionary war. My 3X Great Grandfather owned a farm in Gettysburg. He got married on Christmas day, 1860. The battle was fought in his fields. History really comes into a much sharper focus when you realize those were our ancestors! Wendell

Thomas Rogers and his son Joseph are our ancestors. Thomas is a 10X Great Grandfather in the Woodworth side. Both were on the Mayflower's first voyage. Thomas was the 18th person to sign the Mayflower Compact. His Daughter, Elizabeth, married Walter Woodworth.

Dear Trisha, I am a volunteer at the Library of the Jackson County Genealogical Society in Jackson Michigan. We have had a research request from a Patron on your ancestor Elsie. My Patron claims that Elsie married Ernest Carpenter on 1 December 1913 in Chicago, Illinois, and that they lived in Jackson 1914-19??. However, your bio does not list this marriage. Do you know anything about Elsie marrying Ernest? If they did, do you know when they divorced? Thank you in advance for your help!

Create big bouncy curls or sexy waves with our Conair Instant Heat Jumbo and Super Jumbo Rollers. Ceramic Technology and Ion Shine smooth and shine hair while Smart Clips hold rollers on tight!
Model#: CHV14J / SKU: 002458
You can't go wrong with Conair (we're sure you've heard the name before!). Started in 1959, Conair became a household name as a leading manufacturer of flat irons, hair dryers, spa and curling tools. Conair prides itself on using classic quality and innovation to create affordable tools with salon results.
Wish They Had A Set With Just The Super Jumbos!I've been using hair rollers almost everyday for 30 years. This makes my third set of these rollers. One set just finally pooped out. One is still at my office, and I keep one at home. I currently have 28 remaining super jumbo rollers between the two sets. (Yes, the rollers do finally wear out, and you need to throw them away when they start loosing their flocking) And I have ordered extra super jumbo rollers from Conair by calling 1-800-3-CONAIR and giving them the model number CHV14X. They come in packages of 4, and you will have to pay for shipping and handling.
Since I have been using them for so long, I can tell you that I've been burned by every type of set, every brand you can name. If you use heat setting tools on your hair, you're eventually going to get burned at one time or another. So it has nothing to do with the unit not working right.
The clips, on the other hand, tend to be similar to the clips found in most hot rollers that you can buy. I have just learned to go to the beauty supply store and buy my own plastic clips. Yes, it would be nice if Conair would read our reviews and learn something from their consumers opinions. But it doesn't usually happen that way. So girls, just get over it, and go buy some clips, and it will make using these things a whole lot easier.
As for the curl. I have medium long, thick, naturally curly, color treated hair, and I use stying products on it. I use the super jumbos for a soft bouncy waves of curls. So I cannot tell you what you need to do in order to get tight even curls. But I do let my rollers heat up about 15 minutes prior to putting them in my hair. And yes, with that many rollers, I have to go through heating more than once. It's quite a process. But it's still much easier than doing it with a curling iron. And I leave them in until they cool. At least another 20 minutes. So I don't know if the difference in your experience would be the use of styling products, type of hair. But I do know that you wouldn't want the curlers much hotter than they are, or they would fry your hair. So that being said. The only real negative, that I can fault Conair for, is the clips. It would be nice if they would change the clips. And for us girls who want big waves, create a set with just the super jumbos. And for the girls, who want smaller curls, just a set with the jumbos. Vive la difference!

Just Ok!I like the size of these rollers and they do produce a nice curl. Not a tight curl but a soft loose curl. The wire clips that come with the set work just fine. I had bought some Conair clips that cover the whole roller but they leave creases in your hair. Can't use those along the hairline. I liked the two sizes and they heated up really quickly. You have to leave the roller in until they are cool for the full effect.Feb 24, 2014PamHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair

Returned These, Hate Them!I prepped my hair with a good curling cream and mousse and these rollers still didn't work. They left my hair frizzy and limp, even after leaving these in for 30 minutes. The very minute I took the rollers out the curls and volume disappeared. I applied a good quality hair spray and my hair looked like a huge rats nest. These rollers are the worst and I will be taking them back tomorrow.Oct 10, 2013JordanHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Normal Hair

Great Value And Works Awesome For Volume And Shine!!If you are looking for something to smooth you hair out and give it more body, these are a good choice BUT if you want it to form curls you may want to look into another option with smaller rollers. I use them after I have blow dried my hair to get a silky look without using a flat iron. This set is affordable and works better than i predicted.
I would recommend:
1. Heating rollers for at least 5-10 min (85 seconds is not enough!)
2. Wind hair around roller tightly
3. Use hair spray
4. I use the pins that came with it and with practice they are easy to use
5. Leave the rollers in until cool and for as long after that as you can afford to spend
Happy with this purchase! As long as you aren't expecting curls, this is a good choice :)Oct 5, 2013Amanda L. / CanadaHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Curly Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair / Relaxed Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Not Too HappyI just bought these new set of rollers, cause my old ones just stop working (remington). I thought I could try something different and I was not too satisfied. These rollers are not enough, they are too thick....I like the thick curl, but these just provided volume to my hair, it didn't curl it. In comparison to the remington rollers, the other set has 24 rollers, different sizes, and the clip it's easier to use.May 17, 2013Veronica P. / WalmartHAIR TYPELight Brown / Normal Hair

Took Some Practice . . . And Extra ClipsIf youâ??re frustrated with these rollers and want to return them, or just plain chuck them out the window, donâ??t despair - Iâ??ve had this set for over a year and Iâ??m just now coming to appreciate them. After several attempts, I have finally figured out how to turn my long, naturally curly hair into â??Victoriaâ??s Secret modelâ?? hair, full of volume and soft, bouncy curls that last for hours, even in warm, super humid weather. Because it took me so long to get it right, I felt I should write a review to help other ladies who may be struggling. So, hereâ??s the skinny.
Allow rollers to heat up for 20 â?? 30 minutes, with the lid closed.
Hold the section youâ??re rolling as tightly as possible.
Use the included metal pin AND a plastic butterfly hot roller clip (sold separately) to secure the roller in place ~ one or the other doesnâ??t cut it. Trust me, Iâ??ve tried! (Conair couldâ??ve earned themselves a five star review if theyâ??d included the butterfly clips. Iâ??d happily have paid an extra $10 or $15.)
Leave the rollers in your hair until they have cooled COMPLETELY. I typically leave them in place for 1 â?? 1 ½ hours. (I only use hot rollers for special occasions or if I happen to have a LOT of time on my hands, for obvious reasons.)
Also worth mentioning . . . if you have naturally curly hair, gently smooth our your hair using a blow dryer & paddle brush, or even just combing your hair with your fingers as you blow dry. I need to leave a bit of my natural texture in my hair in order for the hot roller curls to last. If I do a blow dryer & round brush â??blow outâ?? prior to using the rollers, my curls will fall out within an hour due to the hair being too smooth.
I hope others will find these tips helpful.

Knight, Michael Urie, Jerry Dixon and Mario Cantone, Zachary Quinto, Camryn Manheim, Tamara Tunie, John Cameron Mitchell, Steven Pasquale, Steve Van Zandt, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Ana Gasteyer, Marian Seldes and Elizabeth Gilles.
Meet the first-nighters at the opening of Broadway's American Idiot, the new Green Day musical.
'Tis the season for another Spring Awakening from director Michael Mayer, so - fast-forwarding 120 years from that earlier late-1800s-set show - gangway for American Idiot, which laid siege April 20 to the St. James with huddled masses of alienated, disenfranchised youth writhing and Ritalin-ing with suburban anomie. From the look of the spectacular chaos that he has spilled across the stage, Mayer may be not entirely awake but just having a huge hallucinatory riff, brought on by overexposure to Green Day's 2004 concept album of the same name. It was his brainstorm to give the 13 songs of that cult hit (and a few more from the band's later release, "21st Century Breakdown," 2010's Grammy-winning Best Rock Album) an extended play on Broadway.
To that end, he got the band's lead singer and lyricist, Billie Joe Armstrong, to be a willing accomplice and collaborator in concocting what could loosely be called "a musical book" that connects the dots and songs into a narrative, a la Twyla Tharp's telling a Vietnam cavalcade using Billy Joel tunes.
This storyline triangulates into three guys, not unlike On the Town only with bleaker prospects and terrain. Johnny (John Gallagher, Jr.) and Tunny (Stark Sands) bolt from the 'burbs for fresher, more adventurous fields. Left behind is Will (Michael Esper), his fate sealed by a pregnant girlfriend (Mary Faber); booze and a bong send him sinking deeper into the couch.
Adrift in the big city, Johnny first hooks up with a comely Whatsername (Rebecca Naomi Jones) and then a drug dealer named St. Jimmy (Tony Vincent). Tunny tunes in to CNN too much and goes marching off to Iraq, where he meets a military nurse labeled The Extraordinary Girl (Christina Sajous).
A highly jazzed opening-night audience - obviously familiar with the record (it helps!) - cheered consistently at seeing the music visualized on such a grand scale, and then tumultuously at the end when the cast was joined for the curtain call by Mayer and the punk rock trio (bassist Mike Dirnt and drummer Tre Cool have asterisks in the song listing for lyrics not written by Armstrong).
The after-party at Roseland was a dark forest of hot-dog stands - a jungle of junk-food. Vodka-laced slushes welcomed revelers. On stage was a graffiti artist at work or play with paint for the duration of the event. All, presumably, signs of the times.

Former Parkland leader now heads Chicago public-health system
The chief medical officer during Parkland Memorial Hospital's years-long safety crisis is now overseeing one of the nation's most famous health institutions.
Dr. John Jay Shannon was promoted Friday to interim chief executive at Chicago's Cook County Health & Hospitals System. That puts him over John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital, inspiration for the television show ER.
Shannon has been there less than a year as a high-level clinical administrator. He temporarily replaces the man who hired him. Dr. Ramanathan Raju, who is taking a job in New York, said last year that Shannon's role in Dallas hadn't troubled him.
That sentiment remains. After Friday's promotion, the Cook County hospital board chairman told reporters Shannon tried to fix Parkland's problems, the Chicago Tribune reported.
Shannon had acknowledged "spectacular medical failures" at Parkland when he was first hired in Chicago.
The Tribune reported Friday that "Shannon said he learned from the problems at Parkland, which he attributed in part to attempts to increase the volume of patient care and improve efficiency at the hospital, moves that he said led to lapses in safety."

Heidi Klum Reveals Why She's 'Fond' of Bodyguard Martin Kirsten
In a new interview with German magazine Bunte, the fashion mogul talks all about bodyguard Martin Kirsten – and gushes about how much her children, Leni, 8, Henry, 7, Johan, 5 and Lou, 3, adore him, too.
"They like him very much," she says. "This is also one reason why I'm so fond of him. He's been helping me for four years now. And he takes wonderful care of the kids. He plays with them, he protects them. I trust him."
When it comes to her feelings, Klum – who filed for divorce from Seal after seven years in April – gets straight to the point.
"Ja! Ich bin verliebt!" she told the magazine, which translates to, "Yes! I'm in love!"
Until now, Klum, 39, has remained mum on the status of her relationship with the family's bodyguard but insists it's Kirsten's decision to keep a low profile.
"Martin is not hiding," she says. "He's just not the sort of guy looking for the spotlight. He prefers to stay in the background. There will always be people who will criticize whoever I live with, what kind of clothes I wear or what hairstyle I have. At the end of the day, you have to do what makes you happy. That's the rule I live by."
Klum will co-host the MTV Europe Music Awards on Nov. 11.

The recent rebirth thread has been closed, having run its course. However, there was an unresolved issue left and the poster had sought a response.
Specifically, it was proposed that if there is only one life, "instant nibbana" can be attained through suicide. As Alex123 explained,
Alex123 wrote:If all existence is suffering and the death would be the end of the suffering (and equivalent to parinibbana), why not hasten it? Isn't cessation of dukkha (mental and physical) is what Buddhism all about?
...Even 8th Jhana is still imperfect. No feelings & perceptions is much better. If there was one life, it would be easy to accomplish that.
Now this line of thinking raises a rather important question: what kind of state is Nibbana?
For a physicalist, suicide leads to utter annihilation. It's not simply the extinguishing of conditioned consciousness but of any sort of awareness whatsoever. If we draw an equation between the goal of Buddhist practice and the goal of suicide, then we are implying that Buddhist nibbana is identical to annihilation and oblivion (what a materialist would expect to happen after death). But is that the case?
Thannisaro Bhikkhu writes:
When we first learn that the name for the goal of Buddhist practice, nibbana (nirvana), literally means the extinguishing of a fire, it's hard to imagine a deadlier image for a spiritual goal: utter annihilation. It turns out, though, that this reading of the concept is a mistake in translation, not so much of a word as of an image. What did an extinguished fire represent to the Indians of the Buddha's day? Anything but annihilation.
According to the ancient Brahmans, when a fire was extinguished it went into a state of latency. Rather than ceasing to exist, it became dormant and in that state — unbound from any particular fuel — it became diffused throughout the cosmos.
And further:
The image underlying nibbana is one of freedom. The Pali commentaries support this point by tracing the word nibbana to its verbal root, which means "unbinding." What kind of unbinding? The texts describe two levels. One is the unbinding in this lifetime, symbolized by a fire that has gone out but whose embers are still warm. This stands for the enlightened arahant, who is conscious of sights and sounds, sensitive to pleasure and pain, but freed from passion, aversion, and delusion. The second level of unbinding, symbolized by a fire so totally out that its embers have grown cold, is what the arahant experiences after this life. All input from the senses cools away and he/she is totally freed from even the subtlest stresses and limitations of existence in space and time.
The Buddha insists that this level is indescribable, even in terms of existence or nonexistence, because words work only for things that have limits. All he really says about it — apart from images and metaphors — is that one can have foretastes of the experience in this lifetime, and that it's the ultimate happiness, something truly worth knowing.
And finally:
The consciousness of nirvana is said to be "without surface" (anidassanam), for it doesn't land. Because the consciousness-aggregate covers only consciousness that is near or far, past, present, or future — i.e., in connection with space and time — consciousness without surface is not included in the aggregates. It's not eternal because eternity is a function of time. And because non-local also means undefined, the Buddha insisted that an awakened person — unlike ordinary people — can't be located or defined in any relation to the aggregates in this life; after death, he/she can't be described as existing, not existing, neither, or both, because descriptions can apply only to definable things.
The suttas, likewise, speak of "consciousness without surface, without end, luminous all around". Is this equivalent to oblivion?
If we equate nibbana with nothingness, then we would be concluding that an enlightened person does not exist after death. But according to the Buddha, there are four things we cannot say about an awakened person: that he exists after death, does not exist, both does and does not exist, neither exists or does not exist.
Moreover, if the goal is utter annihilation, why do arhats continue to live? They could undertake santhara, like the Jains, or even take the knife to their throats without blame (since they are without desire).
Note: this is not an attempt to revive the rebirth thread. Please limit any responses to the topic of nibbana and whether it is comparable to post-mortem nothingness.

In the midst of all the happy talk over the Bills' new lease deal Friday, a TV reporter had the temerity to ask Russ Brandon if a succession plan was in place to sell the team after owner Ralph Wilson is no longer with us.
"The question becomes tiresome," said Brandon, the Bills' chief executive officer. "I understand it, but it becomes tiresome. Mr. Wilson's loyalty is unmatched as any owner in professional sports, and I think we should be here today to applaud him."
On cue, all the politicians and PR types at One Bills Drive applauded. They almost seemed to be applauding for themselves. Really, how dare a reporter ask the one tough question that hovers over the franchise and torments the long-suffering fan base? This was a day for civic cheerleading, for unquestioning optimism.
But you can excuse any Bills fans who, regardless of a new lease or proposed new stadium, might be reluctant to applaud the owner after watching their beloved football team miss the playoffs for a 13th consecutive season.
Don't get me wrong. Friday was a very good day for Buffalo and for Bills fans around the world. The Bills announced the signing of a 10-year lease agreement with Erie County and the state. They also revealed plans to explore the possibility of building a new stadium after the new lease on Ralph Wilson Stadium expires.
The lease deal includes a "liquidated damages" clause, which would require the Bills to repay $400 million if they moved the team in the first seven years.
That $400 million was a stunning figure. Three months ago, there was speculation that the relocation penalty could be $50 million to $100 million. The previous lease had a sliding scale of paybacks that had dipped to $2 million in the final year. The county wanted a longer term – the previous lease was for 15 years – but the $400 million clause got them seven years of certainty.
But there's one little catch, something that will nag away at Buffalo fans like a bad seven-year itch. After the seventh year, the franchise will have a one-time window to relocate with a repayment penalty of only $28.4 million.
Seven years can be a long time. Brandon guaranteed the Bills would stay in Buffalo for that long. That's great news for anyone who anguished over the prospect of a one-year extension.
Bills fans are accustomed to dealing with lowered expectations. The knowledge that the Bills will remain in Buffalo until 2020 is sufficient comfort for now.
On the other hand, seven years goes by pretty fast. It was seven years ago that the Bills fired Tom Donahoe. It's coming up on eight years since the Patriots last won a Super Bowl. Before you know it, that seventh year will be creeping up on us.
Wilson will likely be gone by then. The new lease buys time for a local ownership group to get the money and mechanisms in place to keep the Bills in Buffalo. But I have to believe the Bills insisted on that $28 million relocation option so the lease wouldn't discourage any potential buyer who might want to move the team.
One way or another, the new lease puts the Bills on more solid ground. I'm not sure about a new stadium. I wonder if they floated that idea to appease the fan base. They don't have much to sell next season. Dangling the thought of a spanking-new downtown stadium might give desperate fans a brief, renewed sense of optimism about the team.
County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz, whose political star rises with this deal, said the Ralph could very well be finished as an NFL venue after 10 years.
"It might be," Poloncarz said. "It just might be. A lot of people forgot, they originally asked for about $230 million (in renovations). We cut back some plans. The Bills gave on some. We were not going to invest a quarter-billion on a stadium that might only be here another 10 years."
You might also conclude the county and state weren't ready to invest more in a team that wouldn't commit to Buffalo for more than 10 years. The question remains, if the Bills are so committed to this area, why only a 10-year lease? And if Wilson is worthy of applause, why not lay out a succession plan?
Ron Zeller, who led the Business Backs the Bills movement in 1998, was less than sanguine. Zeller said it was "better than not having an agreement" and characterized the lease as "temporary good news." This from a man who has been through the dance before.
Another seven years of NFL certainty is nice. The thought of a state-of-the-art stadium in the distant future, however far-fetched, is an intriguing one. But if the Bills expect to be taken seriously, they should put together a state-of-the art football operation. Now.
Seven years will indeed go by quickly if the Bills don't start winning. Friday's happy news might allow the more gullible fans to look past 13 years of dysfunction. But a bunch of cheering politicians doesn't change the fact that the product on the field is a joke. Sadly, the Toronto series appears to be intact. They should have killed it.
The Bills want us to believe they're a first-class NFL franchise with designs on a new stadium. Fine. Start acting like a first-rate operation. A team with a true commitment to excellence doesn't have tired mediocrities like Buddy Nix and Chan Gailey running the show. It doesn't perpetuate the myth of Ryan Fitzpatrick as a franchise quarterback.
The clock is ticking. From what I heard Friday, the Bills' long-term future is now tied to the building of a new stadium. If they don't turn it around soon, how much support will there be to spend the money on a state-of-the-art facility? I hate to say it, but what if the non-playoff streak reaches 20 by the end of the seven years?
Yeah, tell me about tiresome.

May term is offered for undergraduate students during the month of May as a short, interim term between Spring and Summer semesters. May term is designed to help students fulfill upper division elective requirements, as well as to offer unique courses where students can gain in-depth knowledge of interesting topics in classes which are not offered during a regular semester. May term also gives instructors the opportunity to teach courses that devote focused attention to a subject that emphasizes their areas of expertise. May term classes are typically two credits, and meet for six hours in class each week.
In addition to regular course offerings, we also offer several international and domestic study tours each May term under the direction of Westminster faculty. May term study experiences have taken Westminster students to places such as southern Utah, California, New York, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, China, and many countries in Europe. The cost of a study experience is not included in May term tuition.
Please note that if a student wishes to use a May Term Study Experience to receive foreign language credit towards fulfilling his/her foreign language requirement, then that language must be the native or predominant language of the country of destination, and a foreign language faculty member must co-teach the course, and a student must have already passed at least one semester of foreign language instruction in the same language at the college level.
Students can apply their earned May term credits to either the May term or to the Summer semester. Payment of full-time tuition for Fall and/or Spring semesters earns two hours each, for a possible total of four hours. To apply 2 earned hours to the Summer semester, students must register for a minimum of three total credit hours. To apply 4 earned hours, students must register for 6 or more credit hours.

Fun course mixing short woods holes in the first nine with more open longer holes in the second nine. Good course.

the city park part was confusing to navigate. Those hole were not fun. Open and thrown n throw. I enjoyed the wooded holes.

Great mix of wooded and open shots. Some intersting basket placements as well. You have to walk a little far between some of the holes on the back nine. This course is fun for all skill levels and worth a trip.

A tale of two 9's: front is wooded with great elevation changes and defined routes while the back 9 is more open and much longer although now you have mature trees and the mighty Sandusky river to contend with. A great park overall and the course is very fun to play.

Nice setup...would have gotten a better review if they put cement pads in.

SALEM - Claiming council rules may have been violated, Councilman Clyde Brown said he wants a legal opinion on a vote taken Tuesday night regarding a rezoning ordinance for an apartment development.
At issue is whether Councilman Dave Nestic could second the motion to have an ordinance prepared and then vote on the motion since Brown contends he was acting as president of council in Mickey Cope Weaver's absence.
By law, the council president cannot move or second a motion and can only vote in the case of a tie after the council members present have voted.
Council had opted in November to dispense with the holding of their second meeting in December, but then the rezoning issue came up. The notice for Tuesday's meeting advertised it as a public hearing of council and the Salem Planning Commission specifically regarding two rezoning requests.
The notice did not refer to the meeting as a regular session or as special session of council or as a Committee of the Whole meeting of city council. Committee of the Whole includes all seven council members. Nestic said the meeting was simply to discuss the issue and decide whether to put a motion forward to have the law director prepare an ordinance which would then go before council.
The NRP Group of Cleveland submitted plans to the city last month for a three-phase housing development of apartments and single-family homes along East Pershing Street, Butcher Road and Cunningham Road on a 67.7-acre parcel the company has an option to purchase.
NRP asked to rezone 6.9 acres of land just south of the East Pershing Street extension to Butcher Road, from C-2 General Commercial to RA Multiple Family, where a portion of Phase I will be located. Phase I consists of a 120-unit walk-up apartment complex.
The Planning Commission agreed to recommend the rezoning request in November and agreed earlier this month to recommend rezoning 14.3 acres of land 400 feet east of the ends of the streets of Oak, Tanglewood, Kennedy and Edgewood from RA Multiple Family to RS-2 Single Family Residential. The idea was to create a buffer zone for the residents between their homes and the apartment complex besides the natural buffer from a wetlands and creek.
At the meeting Tuesday, after a lot of discussion, Nestic asked whether anyone wanted to forward a motion. Councilman Rick Drummond moved and when no one else spoke, Nestic gave the motion a second and the vote was taken. The decision was 3-2 in favor of having an ordinance prepared for council's consideration. Nestic, Drummond and Councilwoman Cyndi Baronzzi Dickey voted yes, while Brown and Councilman K. Bret Apple voted no. Councilmen Brian
Whitehill and Jeff Cushman were unable to attend.
According to Brown, Nestic should have never seconded the motion since he was acting as president of council. If he had not seconded the motion, the motion would have died and there would have been no vote taken. Brown sent e-mails regarding his thoughts to city Law Director Brooke Zellers and Mayor John Berlin and had e-mails sent to the other council members. He said he wanted a legal interpretation of what happened, but as of Wednesday night, he had not heard from either Zellers or Berlin.
He said he didn't think what happened was Nestic's fault, but that it was a communication problem.
"I think they made a mistake...The people expect us to abide by the laws of the city and I don't think we did that," Brown said by phone.
Dickey said she was contacted by Brown Wednesday morning and by another person who questioned the process of the vote and whether it was legal. She said she had no intention of seconding the motion, but did vote yes to have an ordinance prepared once a vote was taken. She said if it didn't reach council, they could lose the buffer zone, so this would get the issue to council for a decision.
"What they'll do, I don't know. Probably have to revote," she said concerning the legal question.
Drummond when contacted by phone said he saw the email from Brown, but also saw an email from Nestic asking Zellers to look into the situation. He said it was his understanding that the meeting was not a council meeting, but a meeting of council members with the Planning Commission.
He said he saw no problem with bringing an ordinance forward to council so that Whitehill and Cushman would have a chance to give their opinions on the issue. As for the legal question, he said it's probably best to let the law director decide.
"We'll see what Brooke has to say," Drummond said.
Messages were left for both Nestic and Apple on their cell phones regarding the issue, but calls weren't returned as of Wednesday night.
