Science on the Rocks Adults-Only Evening ~ "PIZZA, PINOT AND PI" on THURSDAY, MARCH 14, AT 6:30PM!
Pi, pie, me oh my! Celebrate Pi Day and Albert Einstein's Birthday As We Salute All Things Circular ~ and Vintage! Celebrate Reuben H. Fleet Science Center's 40th Anniversary Year With Us!
March 05, 2013
The Fleet's quarterly Adults Only Parties!
SOTR Pizza, Pinot & Pi! March 14, 2013
SOTR Pizza, Pinot & Pi! Sponsors
Fleet 40th Anniversary Celebration begins March 9, 2013
San Diego, CA March 1, 2013—Our first two Science on the Rocks, the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center's after-hours party for adults 21 and older, sold out, so don't delay! A truly decadent time was had by all at both "The Sweet Science of Chocolate" and "Tap This: The Art of the Brew." Become a Rock Star and join us to celebrate Pi Day and Albert Einstein's birthday at Pizza, Pinot and Pi at the Fleet on Thursday, March 14, at 6:30PM.
Meet local vintners from Bernardo Winery, Orrin Vineyards & Winery, La Serenissima Vineyard & Winery, Rock Canyon Vineyards and PRP Wine International and share their expertise "In Vino Veritas" and samples of their "Nectar of the Gods." Get wine-tasting tips from Shorago Training Services on how to correctly sample your pinot noir, and why it is such a special wine. Tasting tokens are included with your ticket. Or pick your own pleasure and hit the no-host full bar from BarWorks, offering beer, wine, and cocktails. You can also indulge in tempting tastes from Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina, Barleymash, Pop Chips and Uptown Tavern, with pies from Sammy's Wood-Fired Pizza and Coco's Bakery!
As always, we challenge our guests' scientific knowledge as you play! Pi Day activities will include the chance to test your drawing skills and explore the effects of circular rotation as you create drawings and patterns on a monster turntable. Help complete the longest Pi chain, a paper chain spiral of pi––and a collaborative participatory art piece with mathematics as its foundation and inspiration. At the Pi Ku poem wall, visitors are invited to create their own piku poems and put them up for display. Pi Ku are similar to haiku, except the syllable form is 3, 1, 4 and each poem should have an image or word or action that somehow evokes roundness, math or science.
Take a wineglass photo and study refraction and reflection as you see your friends' image "flip" in the photo through the wine glass. As a treat to take with you, express your innate artistic tendencies in shrinky dink wine charms––plastic, markers, wire––and inspiration! Polystyrene sheets are made of polymer chains processed to straighten out into flat sheets––like your deli container from lunch. After creating your masterpiece, we heat them and they bounce back into their original disorder, causing the plastic to shrink and thicken. Learn how to conquer inertia while hula-hooping––you don't have to measure the circumference of the hoop to reclaim childhood! The Hula-Hoop was patented by Wham-O co-founder, Arthur "Spud"Melin on 3/5/1963. How do your Hula-Hoop skills compare to these guys? http://bit.ly/o4NviW
Join in all these activities while having fun, dancing to a soundscape by Sunset Mobile Music and creating your own A Little Scene Flip Books. We would also like to acknowledge generous donations from Pacific Event Productions, Uber, ProDigital and Cort Trade Show & Event Furnishings.
You may not become an oenophile or learn derivations of the A to Z for such vintage terms as acescence, appellation, aromatic, biodynamic viticulture, blind tasting, breathing, carbonic maceration, cru, cuvée, decanting, eau-de-vie, flagon, french paradox, noble rot, nose, redox, sommelier, tasting flight, ullage, varietal, wine tasting, yeast, yield and zymology—but sampling wine and having a great time is guaranteed!
All proceeds benefit the Fleet's nonprofit mission of furthering the public understanding and enjoyment of science and technology. Tickets are $20 for non-members; $18 for students and military; and $15 for Fleet members, staff and volunteers, and Balboa Park employees.
Tickets for this adults-only party are on sale now through Eventbrite at http://science-rocks-pizza-pinot-and-pi.eventbrite.com (some fees apply) or onsite at the Fleet's Ticket Counter. This event is open to adults ages 21+ only. I.D. is required. A cash bar features beer, wine, and cocktails. Space is limited and prices increase the day of event—if not sold out, tickets at the door will be $25; no discounts apply.
We have discovered the scientific formula for a perfect night out: Take one part fun with friends and slowly mix in two parts intriguing interaction. Then add a scoop of nibbles and a cup of libations. Cover all ingredients with music and laughter. Let it simmer to perfection. And voila! You have Science on the Rocks—a delightful evening of unexpected activities, delicious tastes, and indulgent experiences for adults ages 21 and up. Science on the Rocks is held on select Thursday evenings, and each event features a unique theme.
It's not a party unless your friends come, right? Well, they're invited, too! Please take a moment and spread the word about Science on the Rocks by "Liking" our page on Facebook: www.facebook.com/ScienceOnTheRocks; join the event and invite all your Facebook friends to come, too; and share our website link with all your favorite party people: www.rhfleet.org/events/science-rocks.
Please contact Susan ASAP if you would like to join us for media coverage, so we can discuss how best you can help get the word out – we are available for live remotes and in-studio appearances!

A description of a female whom Steve finds attractive, but then tells his friends that she is hot. The friends proceed to view the female's profile pics on fb and decide that she is less than desirable, and that Steve is an asshat.
Steve: Bro, I met this girl in my class today, she was totally hot
Bro: She was probably Steve hot
Bro: She was probably Steve hot

Have been saying this from the beginning. I don't think Evan has a chance in #$%& to place at the Olympics. I personally think he got very lucky in Vancouver and had alot of help from inept performances from other skaters. As far as Nationals.....it's going to be whoever skates clean. A clean Jeremy Abbott will leave Evan in the dust. His technical skills and performance skills are far and above Evan's IMO. And he's been competing for 4 years and Evan hasn't. A clean Jason Brown could beat both of them. It's been a long time since anyone from the US has had the panache and personality on the ice as Jason...and having seen him land 2 triple axels beautifully in a show program......and assuming he has his quad....the guy could be unbeatable. And then there are always the dark horses....Adam Rippon (don't laugh...) Ross Miner (okay, go ahead and laugh) and a couple others. Evan has his work cut out for him and like someone upthread said about Plush, it remains to be seen what he's going to bring to the ice. But I think we all should stop putting these guys into a competitive situation successfully - sight unseen - based on what they did 4 years ago!!!! Four years in men of a certain age in figure skating might as well be 10 years.
And all of that having been said, I am definitely looking forward to sitting in the audience in Boston and watching how US Nats plays out!!!!
p.s. notice I didn't mention Max Aaron. Not a fan, although he's a really nice young man. I just don't like his herky-jerky style and he's going to lose points on presentation. Now I will sit back and field the tomatoes that will no doubt be thrown my way. Whatever.

Thanks everyone for coming out to the show Thursday night and
supporting us and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. We have been in
jamming and writing new songs for the last few months. It felt great to play these new Green Day songs live and share our "work in progress".. Stay tuned for more!
Love green day
P.S. here are the lyrics for The new song Amy...
Is your heart singing out of tune
Are your eyes just singing the blues
Dirty records from another time
Some blood stains on your shoes
No one really knows about your soul
And I barely even know your name
Burning rhythms and posting lies
For a bunch of fools drown in shame
Amy don't you go
I want you around
Singin' woah please don't go
Do you wanna be a friend of mine?
Did you tattoo a lucky charm
To keep you out of harms way?
Warding off all evil signs
But it never really kept you safe
You're too young for the golden age
Cause the record bin's been replaced
27 gone without a trace
And you walked away from your drink
Is your heart singing out of tune
Are you eyes just singing the blues?
Dirty records from another time
Some blood stains on your shoes
May I have this last dance
By chance if we should meet?
Can you write me a lullaby?
So we can sing you to sleep

A phrase commonly used from and annoying bitch named Sammi on jersey shore, directed at her boyfried Ron, with whom she has dumped several times. She says it in her annoying fake Italian/jersey accent as well, resulting in the "STAP IT RAHN" caterwauling
Sammi: OMG STAP IT RAAAHN! YER TRAMETAZING ME!
Ron: STFU SAMMI
Sammi: Stap it Rahn!
Ron: STFU SAMMI
Sammi: Stap it Rahn!

"Literally, I shot for like an hour and a half, and I was done," Cyrus told Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show on Friday. "it was a total dream come true."
Cyrus, who plays herself in the movie, causes problems for Kim Cattrall's character, Samantha Jones, by wearing the same dress as the older woman to a movie premiere. "Working with Kim was really cool," Cyrus says. "And Sarah Jessica Parker was the nicest person in the world."
The pop star, who turns 17 on Nov. 23, also talked about her birthday plans, which reveal her to be something of a Dolly Parton fanatic.
"I want to rent out a cool place and play all Dolly Parton music and have everyone dress up as their favorite Dolly moment," says Cyrus, who was born in Nashville. "I am really excited about getting all my crew members to dress up as Dolly. That's probably going to be the funniest thing ever."
Cyrus is currently on tour with her older brother Trace, whose pop band Metro Station is opening for her.
"We're having so much fun," Miley says. "This is the most I've seen my brother in like four years, so it's kind of crazy. It's really cool to have our family all together."

Moments later, Hussein Taleb, 32, and his 70-year-old mother Nazmie Taleb, fresh from the Lebanon evacuation, hustled from the international arrival terminal at Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport to a hoped-for connecting flight.
Accompanied by an interpreter and another Red Cross volunteer, Sal Culotta, who pushed Nazmie Taleb in a wheelchair, they raced to the Southwest Airlines ticketing counter at the opposite end of the airport.
They were trying to make a 9:50 flight to Hartford, Conn., but the flight departed as they got to the counter.
"Well, we tried," Culotta of Catonsville said. "At least we can walk back."
It was one more example of the efforts of state officials and volunteers to get evacuees from Lebanon back to their homes as quickly as possible.
As the tide of evacuees from Lebanon continued arriving Wednesday at airports in Baltimore and Philadelphia, Congress passed a bill ensuring funding for the huge repatriation effort. It raises the $1 million cap on federal repatriation programme funding to $6 million for the current year.
"Congress has done its business," said Wade Horn, assistant secretary for the Administration for Children and Families in the US Department of Health and Human Services, Wednesday evening. "We are very, very appreciative of the Congress taking up this issue."
The measure was introduced Monday by Rep. William M. Thomas, a California Republican, and by late Wednesday afternoon had been approved on voice votes by the House and Senate and sent on to the White House.
Repatriation centres were set up last week at BWI and Philadelphia International Airport to ease the journey homeward for evacuated Americans.
Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. visited the repatriation centre set up in the international terminal before Wednesday night's flight arrived, and praised the job being done by the state workers and volunteers. "It's the way the country's supposed to work ... it's seamless," he said.
Another 190 arrived at BWI at 8:45 Wednesday night - the Talebs among them - and were greeted by case workers, interpreters and volunteers from as far as Centerville, Va.
"Everyone's owning the process, the repatriation," said Michelle T. Stallings, director of the office of field resources for the Maryland Department of Human Resources. "It's been phenomenal."
Before that flight, about 3,750 people had returned through BWI and more than 4,000 others had landed in Philadelphia since last Thursday, with still more flights scheduled at both airports later this week.
Maryland state officials estimate the total cost of the repatriation process will be $600,000.
John Droneburg, director of the Maryland Emergency Management Agency, said the money will be reimbursed by the federal government.
"That's very modest for what you see here because most of it's volunteer," Droneburg said.
The state has reserved hotel rooms for incoming evacuees, provided emergency cash and staffed the international terminal since last Thursday.
In addition, the Central Maryland chapter of the American Red Cross has provided food for the arrivals, and care packages for children.

This intersects with my concern as a teacher and artist, to encourage participants to reflect on the processes that an artist goes through--for example, an intuitive creative thinking process, intentional purposeful engagement, and adherence to a model or system.
These thought processes can be contextualized further by situating them within larger theories of knowledge production, as outlined by W. J. T. Mitchell: "semiotics, structuralism, deconstruction, system theory, speech at theory, ordinary language philosophy and now image science or critical iconology".
To convey this notion of action as a mode of knowledge production, I use specific symbols for my work, one of these: boards that are pre-manufactured with three vertical slots and one horizontal slot (plywood).
From the viewer's perspective, the board has the option to hold various information. From my perspective, I see this as a concept to display information to exercise the different links in its display from one board to another. My environment is a grid—one of the hallmarks of modernist abstraction and capable, as a visual symbol, of signifying a whole system of art production and thought. This idea is depends on the perspective of the viewer and how that viewer is situated in a distributed network of production and reception of the information about this subject.
Crucially for me, the painting, the paper, and the board (as in my recent production), simulate the portability of information. I am interested in its mobility as a sign in which sender and recipient receive the same information but decode it differently depending on their respective environments.expand collapse

On faculty at the Cleveland Institute of Art since 2006, Barbara Chira has also been Academic Director of CIA's burgeoning academic vision, Cores + Connections, since July, 2013: core values of faculty mentorship, studio and academic rigor, and state-of-the-art curriculum, all power extensive connections for student engagement in community-based learning, real-world professional projects, and socially engaged practices in art and design. Chira is also a practicing artist, having maintained a studio in the Superior Arts Corridor since 2002. Her commitment to the ideals of a social practice has included projects with homeless women and children at the Salvation Army's Harbor Light Complex and with HIV-positive children in Youngstown (exhibited at the McDonough Museum of Art). In more recent years, she has created temporary spaces in public and facilitated strangers coming together in meaningful conversation. At CIA, Chira has been championing new socially engaged project courses for students, related to poverty, homelessness, health care, and the environment, with partners including the Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland Metroparks, and Cuyahoga County's homeless service organizations. This commitment to socially engaged art is also informed by Chira's previous 12-year career in community health and human services in the County, including several years as a case manager working with people in their homes in Cleveland's highest-poverty neighborhoods.expand collapse

GIS at UW-Milwaukee
Since 1988, the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee (UWM) has experienced a rapidly increasing interest in geographic information systems (GIS) from existing and prospective students, faculty from many different disciplines, and a number of outside public and private organizations. In that year, two GIS courses were introduced to graduate and undergraduate students from various academic programs at the University. As time went on and more courses were added, more faculty and students became aware of the vast potential that GIS technology offered in so many different disciplines.
Each year, as word about the program spreads, new students are attracted to the GIS-related education and research facilities at the University. Increasingly, organizations in the public, private, and non-profit sectors are expressing interest in the University's capabilities related to GIS technology. This interest, combined with the availability of authentic local government data from the City of Milwaukee and other sources (such as the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency), have worked to create a powerful educational, research, and urban service capacity for the University.
UWM has established itself internationally as an urban-based, multi-disciplinary geographic information systems institution that utilizes GIS technology and unique government data in the education of future professionals in a variety of disciplines, prepares students for a GIS-related career, and conducts research and provides GIS-related services to an urban and regional community for addressing current public and private sector information needs.

"Mario's behavior is embarrassing to me and my daughter," says Singer, 57, about her husband of 22 years. "We aren't embarrassed. We are embarrassed for him."
Singer, who says she kicked Mario out on July 24, announced the split on Twitter on Aug. 7, several days after Mario and his alleged girlfriend, Kasey Dexter, 32, had been caught on camera by a tabloid, which found them dining at a New York City restaurant.
They were again spotted in public together when they attended an event in the Hamptons last weekend. (Calls to Dexter and Mario and his attorney were not returned.)
Singer says she gave Mario "many chances," following a cheating scandal earlier this year, which prompted her to file for divorce in January. She said she had had enough when she learned he had allegedly reconnected with Dexter this summer.
Things came to a head on July 23 when she confronted Mario about Dexter in their therapist's office. She says he denied that he had been in contact with her. When she pushed him about it the next day, he confessed that he had seen Dexter.
"I told Mario it's over because he lied to me about still being in contact with this Kasey. I said, 'You are a liar. You are a betrayer. I don't want you in my life anymore. I tried to make it work for a year and that's it. I'm done.' "
She further states: "My daughter even said to him, 'If you don't want to be with Mommy, then do the right thing and split up.' She's angry at him. It's upsetting."

131. (unregistered)
i heard retail pricing starting at $149
139. (unregistered)
Full retail means the unsubsidized price...like if your contract isn't up for renewal yet, or you aren't eligble for your new every two plan yet. The full retail is rumored in the $500-$600 range, while contracted (subsidized) price is flipping back and forth between $0, $99, $149, and $199 (I've seen most all of these on the internet the past couple of months, and these 4 prices seem to be the most widely accepted).

I want them to come in just like text messages and be ready for me to check them when i look at my phone. I really need help. PLEASE HELP ANYONE WITH BRAINS >_>
81. (unregistered)
blackberrys will "push" and alert you when you get an email.. just use the set up wizard and it will give you different time intervals that it pushes the emails... the most common is five minutes... so every five minutes it checks and if you have an email it alerts you and its right there on the phone.
89. (unregistered)
wrong - blackberries receive/push your emails through instantly. There is no wait time. I usually get my email on my blackberry before it even hits my gmail.
96. (unregistered)
no your wrong, It pings the system every fifteen minutes until it recieves an email and then every five after it recieves an email, then back to fifteen after it has recieved an email within the five minutes
98. The_Real (unregistered)
Actually you are wrong; Blackberries can be setup in 2 ways, through a BES or BIS. If a Blackberry is through a BES the time interval can be adjusted. If setup through BIS it is carrier dependant. For example T-mobile has set their servers to push out every 15 min. This varies on exactly how quick you will receive your email, anywhere between 5 sec to 20 mins, probability shows that if you get a new email with a 15 min send time you will receive an email on your blackberry in 50% of the time the carrier has set the push.update.time variable, 7.5 mins on average.
118. (unregistered)
I have the curve and sell for Verizon and I get my E-mails instantly, work and personal. All of my e-mails have came to my blackberry before my actualy e mail. Blackberrys are the best phones for e-mail. In fact I like my Curve more then my voyager and dare
140. (unregistered)
it's impossible for your email to hit your phone before your email server -- that doesn't even make sense. The way these work is usally (BIS method) - checking the server every couple of minutes (set interval on the phone or provider, depends on phone and provider - this one looks like VZW + Storm = 5sec - 5min interval) for new mail. If you have no mail *on the mail server*, you won't get it on the blackberry. hence, why it's impossible for you to receive e-mail you haven't yet received. For corporate environments (BES method) - the BES (Blackberry Enterprise Server) acts as the mail server for your (often) work account - this is what the BlackBerry "syncs" with. The lag you may be experiencing could come from a client that you use (Outlook, Thunderbird, KMail, Evolution, etc), as each of these have intervals they check mail with. If your company/mail server uses POP, there is probably going to be a lag. If IMAP/Exchange, they use the same "Push" technology that the Storm utilizes - email is instantly sent and received by maintaining a constant connection with the server. IMAP is usually (from my experience as an Exchange Administrator) slower at updating the Push data than Exchange.
149. (unregistered)
im not going to act like i know how it worked, but when i had my 8830 and sent an email to my gmail account, and refreshed the computer non stop, the email was actually on my 8830 about 1-2 seconds before gmail. maybe it was comcast's fault lol

14. (unregistered)
I could see wanting Wi-Fi if you had no other way of accessing the web on this phone. Fact is...You are required to get the data plan on a Blackberry. Wi-Fi is a waste if you have a data plan.
15. (unregistered)
lmao @ #7..... and with t-mobile's "outstanding" 3G coverage....wifi is defnately needed on all of their devices
20. vzw fanboy (unregistered)
hahha lol wifi is for poor people, i agree!
39. (unregistered)
If WiFi is so important why don't they just throw in satellite TV as well? Why not have the ability to start your car remotely too? Or wirelessly play your Xbox Live Arcade games by waving the phone around in the air like a Wii-mote? Cell phones are basically complicated radio transceivers that send and receive transmissions that run using a set of frequencies. Different technologies like CDMA voice, GSM voice, PDC, EVDO, EDGE, HSPA, and HMTS all use different frequencies to send and receive information. When you send and receive information using so many different frequencies they can cause problems if they are not compensated for. Since VZW has the largest 3G network covering most of the U.S. and RIM has already added frequencies compatible with all of the previous , adding in WiFi would not be very cost-effective; the development would take a lot longer and the quality of the finished product might not be as good (it might be as bad as the 3G iPhone, where some users were dropping up to 36% of their calls due to conflicts in switching frequencies from 2G to 3G in areas where they shouldn't be having those problems.) The fact that they can do this much is amazing in itself. There's only so much tech they can cram into a machine that fits in the palm of your hand... Besides WiFi isn't available in a lot of places EVDO is; whatever difference there is in speed doesn't measure up to the fact that if I want that speed I have to stay inside the coffee shop (used as one example of WiFi service area)!
45. (unregistered)
Wi Fi is extremely important... all 3G networks are way too slow... Sure while on the road you have to deal with the broadband EVDO speeds... But soon there will be wireless access points broadcasting through out most major cities... it would have been an easy and nice feature to add... while you are at home or in a coffee shop it would have made browsing the Internet way more enjoyable... It's a shame they did not add this feature... They are giving the iPhone the upper hand here... #49 nice copy and paste job... Cell phones will be doing lots more after 6 months of the Storms release...

If you think wifi is worthless you're worthless.... OR maybe it's because you've been with VZW who never gets any phones with Wifi and you don't know the true capabilities and benefits of having it. Wifi isnt' that hard of a thing to incorporate, VZW is just retarded and doens't want it on any of their phones. it's like the MMS iPhone gripe, simple thing that it should obviously have, just like any phone that's a high-end PDA should have wifi, it's that simple. They don't have 3G everywhere, and it's not that great where they do have it. Incoporate wifi and you have the speeds you want PERIOD.

wifi may be faster for computers than an EVDO card but phones can't process the faster data speeds anyways so it won't make a difference.

Let's see, VZW's EVDO Rev-A which blankets over 80% of the US population... does FREE WiFi (key word is free cause a lot of WiFi you find makes you pay to use it) cover anywhere close to 80% of the US population? ABSOLUTELY NOT. I'll take 3G in a heartbeat.

Pity. This isn't VZW's weakness. RIM simply didn't put WiFi on this device, but go ahead and ignore the overwhelming evidence that it is not necessary at all when you have VZW's superb 3G coverage.

I guess I'm in the minority, but I couldn't give a darn about wifi. That doesn't make or break a phone for me. For me, the main thing is battery life! The ability to record/play back video, camera photo editing options and flash, internet access are important to me as well. Speed, kinda sorta. Just as long as I can get on. I've been with T-Mobile for a few years now n' one of the things that burns me up about them is gettin' on the web...when I CAN get on the web. I'm so used to getting error messages now due to poor signal strength, I don't know what to do. Oh yes I do! Happily drop kick the pink-T as soon as The Storm comes out! The Storm will be my first BlackBerry. Everybody I know who owns one tells me nothing but great things about BB battery life. I'm hearin' the same about the Storm.

I agree, partly. If you've read up on 4g, you will see that 50mb/s over cell is going to happen. Sadly, probably, before the large expanse of access points becomes a reality

115: Don't you know that the manufacturer makes what the carrier wants them to? I am so sick of hearing that we should complain to the manufacturer if the phone doesn't have what we want. It's up to the carrier. This is why the new HTC phones have one set of specs for Sprint and a different spec list for VZW. Did you really think that HTC just decided to leave stuff off of the Verizon models for shits and giggles? I personally don't need Wifi on my device, but people here should respect the fact that some people want it. How is it helpful to label them poor or stupid? (not singling 115 out on this part) Do you really think you are going to change someone's point of view by calling them names?

why are ppl so obssesed with WIFI.

134. (unregistered)
well we're very glad that you're making something out of yourself...because you probably have no other talent... it's also very good for you that you get "FREE" WIFI which not many of us are in your shoes being able to just stay in your dorm and scratch your junk with one hand and play with your phone with the other. we wouldn't be having this "discussion" in the first place if there's FREE WIFI EVERYWHERE...unfortunately, unless you're a trillionaire, we don't. We shouldn't be having this discussion about WIFI or no WIFI anyway. This discussion is about the "VERIZON RIM STORM 9530", that's why there's a big f*$kin' picture of the Storm on top. So those that are saying "...oh you can't save $20-$30 a month, $240-$360 a year" put your damn foot, as matter of fact, put your damn FEET in your mouth, unfortunately while you have a PDA/Smartphone with Verizon, data plan is required so in this case, WIFI or no WIFI does not make a difference WITH THE EXCEPTION OF FEW PLACES WHERE YOU DON'T GET GOOD NETWORK RECEPTION. Thus, giving Verizon policy, because all PDA/Smartphones require data plan, not having WIFI seems like the better decision since that helps lower the price of the phone itself. As one of the fellow writer on this discussion, even if you have WIFI, with bunch of people sharing one network, things are bound to be slow and it can only download and work as fast as your phone allows it. Get over people, there will never be a perfect phone because everyone's needs are different, just admit that Storm is a pretty awesome phone, and i'm pretty sure once Storm's out, 3, 4, 5, 6 months down the road a better phone will come out, that is life...you people are still buying it aren't ya'll?

Wi-Fi is inconsequential on these phones. You DO notice a speed increase when you are connected while using the iphone/other blackberry's/WM phones but the processors on all these phones aren't capable of rendering web pages as fast as a full-blown computer. So, my conclusion is that you may as well use the EVDO unless you're somewhere a 3G network doesn't exist. THAT would a reason to have Wi-Fi.

rev. a is not faster then 3g, it IS 3g. it is revision A of 3g, but still 3g.

Schools to go tobacco-free
Henrico County public schools and school-sponsored events soon will be entirely tobacco-free, following the School Board's 4-1 vote Sept. 27 to enact a tobacco-free policy.
The policy likely will not take effect officially for a period of at least a few months, so that staff members and visitors who smoke or use tobacco have time to become adjusted to it.
Board member Lisa Marshall of the Tuckahoe District cast the dissenting vote.
More than 30 other school systems in the state – including Hanover County – already have similar tobacco policies. Henrico school officials believe the policy will promote healthier environments for students, staff members and visitors alike while encouraging healthier lifestyles at the same time and serving as a reinforcement to students about the dangers of tobacco.
Existing HCPS policy allowed individual principals to set their own conditions for tobacco and cigarette use on their campuses by adults, staff members and visitors. Twenty-four elementary schools in the county, three middle schools, five high schools and two specialty facilities already banned all tobacco use on their campuses prior to
the board's vote last week. Other schools and specialty centers allowed smoking in designated areas.
The change is not without detractors. About a third of the 1,263 faculty members who responded to a school system survey last month said they favored the existing policy, while two-thirds said they favored the new one.

Advocating for animals
Group celebrates anniversary, recent legislative victories
May 6, 2013
MARTINSBURG — All creatures great and small were welcomed with open arms Sunday at Poor House Farm Park as Animal Advocates of West Virginia celebrated its third year of being a voice for animal......
The spay/neuter bill will mean taxpayers subsidize private groups and individuals. People should be responsible and Spay/Neauter their own animal without taxpayer assistance. In regards to the "puppy mill" bill, it has so many loopholes in it; you could drive a freight train through it. It is just another way for gov't at all levels to tax and "fee" the citizens into subsistance. Mr. Overington and Mr. Unger... two peas in a pod, one a R and one a D. No matter the party, statist, big gov't elitist, who shred the US Constitution and any semblance of a Free Market any chance they get.

I wonder if the people commenting negatively have read final copies of the bills? Misinformation and negativity seems to be the order of the day. The spay/neuter bill is not going to increase taxes and the commercial dog breeding bill will vastly improve the conditions of dogs used to breed. When a puppy mill bust occurs it costs the county an enormous amount of money to house, feed and give veterinary care to the animals. Puppy mill breeding dogs and their puppies are almost always found to be ill and maimed when they are rescued and taking care of them is costly. YOUR tax money pays for the greed and neglect of unethical breeders. Focus your negativity on those inhumane breeders who have caused the problem and not on those of us trying to improve the lives of animals. Regardless of how you view the passage of these two bills, they are crafted to help animals, not to burden citizens in any way.

I will let you in on a little secret, I read every version of the bill, including the "engrossed version". I also heard the debate on the floor of the house, including questioning of the delegate presenting the bill... Sponaugle! The answers were very telling... based on the answers given in response to questioning by Del. Woody Ireland, the bill was a worthless "feel good" bill that will only be used as a means to attack/defame law abiding citizens. And yes when funding is allotted from state funds via a grant, by definition, the taxpayers pay for it...

The Spay/neuter funding law (SB202) is not a tax subsidized bill; The fund will only be supported with monies given voluntarily (from any individual, organization, or corporation). Please read legislation at legis.wv.us. I'm hearing many complaints about taxpayers funding spay & neuter services for others, this is not the case but feel free to donate to the fund once it is up and running in 2014.

Anyone who thinks this Puppy Mill bill is good needs to take a remedial reading class. As one poster already said, you can drive a truck through the loopholes in this law. Isn't it nice that cronyism is alive and well in West-by-God-Virginia? After all, I notice that the Governor has specifically exempted his family from this legislation. And a good lawyer will have a field day with "exclusive purpose of active breeding." There is no such thing and a federal district court in Kentucky already ruled as such. Why does WV pat themselves on the back when they pass something that has already been discredited elsewhere? Oh, and that court ruling? Already sets case law that inspections are a violation of the 4th Amendment. If these dogs are housed in someone's residential home (which 11 dogs easily may be), then you need a WARRANT to get in. Period. Oh, and what exactly is an "annual certification" by a veterinarian? There is no such thing.

In the immortal words of H$U$ President and CEO himself, Wayne Pacelle:
We have no ethical obligation to preserve the different breeds of livestock produced through selective breeding. . One generation and out. We have no problem with the extinction of domestic animals. They are creations of human selective breeding." Wayne Pacelle, Senior VP of Humane Society of the US, formerly of Friends of Animals and Fund for Animals, Animal People, May, 1993.
When asked if he envisioned a future without pets, "If I had my personal view, perhaps that might take hold. In fact, I don't want to see another dog or cat born." Wayne Pacelle quoted in Bloodties: Nature, Culture and the Hunt by Ted Kerasote, 1993, p. 266.

Line 108 (H) of the dog breeder bill deliberately causes harm to dogs by making a criminal out of any breeder that provides species appropriate socialization to their dogs. Apparently WV prefers that their dogs be unsocialized among their peers. Then of course the rescuers will whine that breeders don't socialize their dogs when they just outlawed it.

So for some reason folks think it is good to have tax payers money end up going to neuter pets, while we as a country are 16 Trillion in debt?
No wonder we are in the mess we are, people have most their crackers.
Face it, it is the responsibility of the owner to pay for such, not MINE or other taxpayers.
Can't afford to neuter a pet, don't get one.

I have been coming under a lot of criticism recently for saying that I do not think that the Grand Prix series is at the same level as what I have termed the Major Competitions i.e. the European Championships, the 4 Continents, and the World Championships.
So, I thought I would start a thread to explain what I do not like about the GP Series, and some ideas on how it could be improved.
But, before that, I would like to make clear that I do actually like the GP Series! In fact, I think it is a brilliant concept. It is just that there are some areas that I feel need improved to bring back some of the gloss it has lost in recent years.
Firstly, I would like to see an increase in the number of GP events from the current 6 to 8. Specifically, I would like to see:
2 in North America: USA and Canada
2 in Western Europe: France and Germany
2 in Eastern Europe: Russia and somewhere else
2 in the Far East: Japan and China
I havent made a decision on where I think the 2nd Eastern European GP should be. But, perhaps some of the existing competitions (e.g. the Ondrej Nepela Memorial, Tirnavia, Crystal Skate, Golden Spin, Pavel Roman Memorial) could take it in turns to be run to GP rules one year, and then run to their normal rules in the intervening years.
For that matter, given what Kin Yu-Na has done, how about adding Korea into the mix? We could have China and Japan one year; Japan and Korea the next; Korea and China the third; and so on. We could even do the something similar in Western Europe by adding Italy into the mix with France and Germany.
More importantly, though, there needs to be an increase in the number of competitors at each event.
I can understand why the number of competitors was decreased last season. It is much easier for TV companies to fit competitions that are 1hr-1hr15m (for the SP) or 1hr30m (for the FS) into their schedules than if they were longer. And, hence, more sponsors, advertising revenue, etc.
But, what about the spectators rinkside who have actually paid to watch? I feel they are getting really short-changed. Especially when there are so many withdrawals
Put it like this: is it any wonder that there are often masses of empty seats during the Short Programmes when there are at most 10 competitors and the competitions only last an hour?
I would like to see the GP competitions return to having 12 competitors in EVERY category, be it singles, pairs or ice dance. (So, 3 groups of 4 competitors).
Also, I would like it to be a requirement that the organisers of each event have to have up to 4 local wildcards on standby to step in if there are last-minute withdrawals, so that you are assured of getting 12 competitors in each category.
I do like the way that this season the ISU got rid of the option for skaters to do a third GP. It just made things too complicated, with some competitors relying on their results from 2 GPs, and others taking their best 2 results from 3 GPs.
Another thing that I feel that the ISU needs to write into the rules is that skaters are banned from competing in consecutive GPs. I know it does not happen too often that skaters compete on consecutive weekends, but when it does, you can see the affect it has on them. They might be able to get through the Short Programme the second week, but they really struggle with the Free Skate.
But, I do think that it should become compulsory that everybody who enters the GP Series as a regular competitor (as opposed to a wildcard) does 2 GPs. That way, we would avoid the scenario we had with Kaetlyn Osmond this year, where she won Skate Canada but didnt have another GP appearance, and so couldnt get enough points to get into the Finals.
Speaking of the Finals, I think the spectators are getting seriously short-changed with only the top 6 competitors getting into the Finals! Like, that is not even an hour to get through all the Short Programmes!
So, if we had 12 competitors in each of the events, with each of them competing at 2 of the 8 events, that would be (12x8)/2 = 96/2 = 48 competitors in total.
To be honest, I am dithering between having the top 10 go through to the Finals, or having the top 8 go through. 8 would be a better number for keeping to the 4 competitors on the ice during each warm-up guideline, as well as keeping the length of the competitions down for the TV scheduling. But, 10 would be more value-for-money for the spectators rinkside.
As for letting skaters that are too young for Senior competitions compete, I am of two minds about this. It is nice to see the up-and-coming talent (like Julia Lipnitskaya this year, or Adelina and Liza last year). But at the same time, is it really fair having 14 year-olds competing against 30 year-olds (as sometimes happens)?
Put it like this, I would definitely not agree with having anybody younger than 14 appearing, either as a competitor or as a featured performer in the gala. Ive nothing against the skills of this age of skaters (just look at what Elena Radionova is doing!), but there is a danger that having such young skaters might attract the wrong sort of people to watch our sport
But, more of that in my other thread ( http://www.goldenskate.com/forum/showthread.php?39696 )
So, what do other members think of my ideas? Do you disagree with my ideas? Or, do you have other ideas that you think would be good that I have not thought of?

on December 16, 2012 - 10:51 PM
Toronto – With five minutes left on an unsightly afternoon in the Rogers Centre, an inebriated young man ran across the football field and stripped to his skivvies before being tackled at midfield by security.
It seemed somehow fitting, because the Bills couldn't have looked any worse on Sunday if they had played the game in their underwear.
Desperate to keep their faint playoff hopes alive, the Bills got exposed by a surging Seattle squad, 50-17. It was an utter humiliation, yet another day when the Bills established records for defensive futility and nudged their head coach a little closer to the unemployment line.
During the week, the Bills players had expressed their devotion to Chan Gailey, defending his record and contending that it would be a step back for the franchise to fire him. You would have expected them to back it up with an inspired, passionate performance in their annual Canadian "home" game.
Instead, they played like a bunch of soft, indifferent losers. The defense was horrible. They acted as if they'd never seen a quarterback option, making Russell Wilson look like a Hall of Famer. Ryan Fitzpatrick misfired on the deep throws, as usual, and threw two demoralizing interceptions.
You know how they played? Like a team that doesn't give a damn if its coach gets fired.
"I want them to play for themselves, for the fans, for professionalism, for pride," said Gailey, who is now 15-31 with the Bills. "If you start going out and having too many things that go into your mind about why you're playing the game, you'll give it up too easily."
Pride? It's gone beyond tiresome, trying to put more than a decade of bad losses into perspective. Where does it rank in the depressing chronicle of dysfunction? Which ones am I overlooking? Is it a candidate for worst road loss of the millennium? Oops, that's right, it was a home game.
Let me say this: When you consider the circumstances – the tenuous position of the coach and quarterback, the fact that it was in Toronto, having Marshawn Lynch's team drop 50 points on the defense and its $100 million man, Mario Williams – it might be the most embarrassing loss in team history.
This makes four times they've given up 45 points in a game this season. The Bills are the first team to do that since the 1986 Jets. If you go back to the final game of last season, it's five times in 15 games.
They've given up 50 points in a game twice in a season for the first time in franchise history. They've allowed 402 points on the year, putting the team record for most points allowed back on the table. The record is 454, set by the 1984 team that finished 2-14.
Can we stop the talk about how much the defense is improving? So they had a few solid games against bad teams. As usual, when a team showed up with a determined power running game and a talented, athletic quarterback – in his case, a rookie – the defense got exposed as a fraud.
How many times have we seen this? Even when the defenses are decent, they melt in the most critical moments – as they did against the Rams a week earlier. So I don't want to hear about any improvement. Beat someone that matters. Play up to the competition if you want credit.
Gailey said it didn't matter where they played the game. But this was an advertisement for everything that's wrong with the Toronto series. When there's no real home crowd, there's nothing to lift you in the tough moments. It's no excuse, but it has to be dispiriting to be in quiet, unfamiliar surroundings when the game is turning against you.
OK, they had a lot of quit in them Sunday. All four of Seattle's rushing touchdowns – three scrambles by Wilson and one by Lynch – were 10-plus yards on which the runner went into the end zone untouched.
Four years ago, when the Bills lost to Miami in the first installment of the Toronto Series, Ralph Wilson laughed about it. This time, another R. Wilson had to be laughing. Russell became the first player in NFL history to rush for three TDs and pass for another in one half.
Russell Wilson should be relieved that he didn't wind up playing for Ralph. Buddy Nix said the Bills liked Wilson heading into last year's draft. But not enough to draft him in the third round. Instead, they moved up to take receiver T.J. Graham, who was terrible on Sunday.
Nix has a heap of trouble on his hands. He believes in Gailey, a failing coach he can't sell to the public. Fitzpatrick's days as the starting quarterback have to be numbered. This makes twice in the last month that he's gone up against a rookie quarterback and come away a loser.
After padding his sack stats against mediocre opposition, Mario Williams disappeared against the Seahawks. Williams was consistently caught out of position on read option runs by Wilson, who had nine carries for 92 yards.
Predictably, Williams pointed the finger elsewhere. The first word out of his mouth was "We." Sure, there was a lot of blame to go around. But just once, it would be nice to see the new franchise defensive end act like a good teammate and leader by taking responsibility for a poor performance.
"There's 10 other players on the field," Williams said. Boy, that's sure to endear him to the guys in his locker room.
At least Gailey, who is the man on the hot seat, said the buck stops with him. And yes, he takes the brunt of the blame (along with Dave Wannstedt) for having his team terribly unready to play.
There was some muttering about Pete Carroll calling a fake punt early in the fourth quarter with the Bills trailing, 47-17. People felt Seattle rubbed it in by calling a trick play in a blowout. You know, the sort of silliness you get in baseball when teams dare to steal bases with a big lead.
Come on, Gailey had Fitzpatrick on the field with five minutes left. Why can't Seattle run a fake punt? These are grown men, professionals. Hey, stop the fake if you don't like it. Show some real passion during the game if you have such an inflated sense of pride.
Really, the Bills had done a great job of humiliating themselves in Toronto. How could a fake punt make it any worse?
