I love reading Tokyopop's english-translated version of the Goth & Lolita Bible!! For some of you who don't know or havn't read it before, it's a type of pop culture fashion in Japan that's very popular. And now, it's popular in the U.S.A. because alot of visula-kei/J-Rock artists wear these fancy dresses and suits for guys. The fashion trend started back in the 1980's when the band, Malice Mizer's leader known as Mana-sama, wore the clothes. Even though he's a man, he has made history in Japan. He has his own brand of clothing line calle, "Moi-Meme-Moitie". Here's the original website: www.rakuten.co.jp/moi-meme-moitie/ Also, the tokyopop homepage to the site: www.tokyopop.com/GothLolitaGirl And,...This website I found that has a REAL goth lolita here: www.lacarmina.comI hope there are goth-lolita fans at manga.com soon so I can add you.
Lol! Iv read a couple issues and stuff but have missed out due to drama with my friends! But arent the translations a bit diff in info? (Oop i 4got not everyone can read in Japanese!) Im a bit fluent but not 100% so i hav my friends read it!
i love gothic lolita stile=)specially the dreses of mitzuky in full moon, they are fantastic!!lilyandbLAncA**^^
Where on tokyopop do you find mangas? because I've been on there so many times and I've never found any. (I don't really know my way arround the net...so I think that that might be part of it...)

There is so much fascination with mortgage speed today and getting away from debt, nevertheless, the information that I have seen all has dedicated to only 1 area; the advantages of doing so. Truly so, most people want to know some great benefits of a purchase that they're currently creating or an action that they're going to consider. Most of us have possibly seen at once or another, that individuals humans are inclined to do items for just one of two motives, either you want to guard ourselves from the loss, or we should increase our location in some way. I was told by among my psychiatrist friends that many years back, and I generally believe it is not false for many of us.
Work with a mortgage calculator to find out various rates' result: You can find a number of mortgage calculators that are handy online. Rely on them to determine the consequence that different costs and phrases have with regards to the sum total attention you'll spend on the time of the loan.
Do not setup any type of client intake program or follow operations for the clientis mortgage loan modification systems up. You've really an excellent memory thus just listen as your prospects associate their nationstar mortgage to you personally.
However, the funds never change if you have a fixed-rate mortgage. You know what your payments will be 20, 15, or 30 years from now and can sitdown right. Positive, if mortgage rates go down, you wont get to profit (except, ofcourse, you're willing to go through the cost of refinancing). Nevertheless, you'll never have to bother about your premiums rising, either.
The simplest way to reach objectivity will be to accumulate the maximum amount of information as possible. Every buyer needs a thorough and disciplined way of the expense procedure and must work in keeping with a fantastic plan of occasions.
Case Studies – An example that is very good could draw tens of thousands of people, be related to again and again and direct enormous traffic. We are going to examine case reports in increased detail while in the guide that is monetizing.
Second, if you do choose to acquire from payday loan corporations, access simply a sum you happen to be 100% sure you can repay on the due date. If that amount is not too high to meet up your needs, get added money from different sources. You certainly can do to oneself since coming over cash advances is one of the toughest things.

Do you think Mariah Carey is on the "nice" or the "naughty" list this year?
After a snowy family outing in Aspen with 2½-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan, the singer took to Instagram on Sunday to show her fans just what's under her winter coat.
"Warming up for the hot tub moments!" she captioned her showy snapshot, in which she matches her red robe to her undergarments (and fluffy heels!). The singer also shared a photo of herself walking her dog in the snow, wearing a bikini (you know, as you do).
We have a feeling they might be an early present from the "All I Want for Christmas Is You" singer to husband Nick Cannon.

DENVER - Mike Trout looked as if he had just bitten into a lemon. His face went through a series of contortions after the rookie, a graduate of Millville High, was asked a simple question: Had he thought about the possibility of being named an all-star in his rookie season?
"No," the 20-year-old outfielder with the Los Angeles Angels said politely, but emphatically. "I don't look at that stuff."
The fact that the question is even being addressed is a testament to the level the 6-foot-1, 210-pound Trout has reached. A little more than three years ago he was competing against Vineland and Egg Harbor Township High Schools and was named The Inquirer's 2009 South Jersey player of the year.

Very nice appartement in a nice neigbourhood. The host Juan was very kind and helpful. No problems with the contact and a very nice lady met us and gave good instructions and the key. Recommend this appartement! !
Only one small thing.... the television did not work.
Good location - easy access to metro, two supermarkets downstairs and a tapasbar almost on the other side of the street.
Faces away from the street and therefore is relatively quiet.
We loved eating our meals on the balcony!
Dear Juan
Just wanted to say thanks for a wonderful stay at Barcelona. It was a perfect flat for our vacation and we enjoyed staying there - full functional kitchen and a big bathroom. Everything clean and nice :) Children were crazy about the pool - very clean water. In addition, it was very easy to get to the town. We took the metro every day - it takes about 10 - 15 min. to get to the town.
So thank you very much! Next time in Barcelona will stay at your flat again :)
Kind Regards
We found the appartment exactly as described - and for us the perfect place to stay.
Juan waited to meet us despite the fact we were delayed 1 hour . He was the perfect host - nothing was too much trouble for him - all phone calls & emails answered immediately .He also arranged a taxi to & from airport
The apartment was spotlessly clean & had everything we needed.It was very conveniently situated on a main Boulevard , great transport links with buses & Metro. Beach lovers can get get a bus a few metres from the door, or you can laze around the pool - plenty of sun beds in sun & shade.
There are 2 supermarkets ( Mercadonna is great for fish lovers ) underneath the building and several good local restaurants with prices to suit all budgets .
We had planned to eat out each evening but a stroll around the supermarket & we couldn't resist buying exactly what we wanted to eat at home most nights.
One thing that appealed to us was that the apartment was situated in a residential area & so we mixed with locals, the surrounding area was filled with interesting shops to browse around .
This for us was the perfect place to stay in Barcelona & we recommend it without reservation
Very nice Apartment. Everything was clean. We felt very comfortable. Juan is a very nice guy and the transfer from the Apartment / Keys worked perfectly an was very uncomplicated.
The location of the apartment is also very good, you can go to the inner-city very quick (by train) and you find a supermarket straight beside the house.
Thank you for the nice stay.
We enjoyed our stay. The flat is just as it seems from the information on Wimdu - it's compact but comfortably furnished and clean. Very easy to get around from here - convenient for pubic transport. Supermarkets and other food shops could not be closer and kitchen well equipped. Juan was very helpful and advised on different points besides being flexible about our departure time. We would recommend this apartment.
The apartment was fantastic. Very clean, tidy and very well equipped. The location of the house is very great for exploring the beautiful city of barcelona. The host was very friendly and attentive, he has every request fulfilled. Very recommendable!!! We love coming back. Our vacation there was marvelous!! Thank you so much Juan!

Tea party redoubt Tarrant County yields a couple or three for Simpson, though not the groundswell he needs
Advisers to Speaker Joe Straus, R-San Antonio, have known since last year's GOP primaries that he had a "Tarrant County problem." Two Straus allies, Reps. Vicki Truitt, R-Keller, and Barbara Nash, R-Arlington, were defeated, and several other Republican-leaning House districts in the Fort Worth and Mid Cities areas elected very conservative freshmen.
But on the eve of Tuesday's election for speaker in the Texas House, Straus' tea party-backed challenger, Rep. David Simpson, R-Longview, can point to only two or three members from the Tarrant County delegation who publicly are supporting the insurgent, according to this story Friday by Dave Montgomery of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
Rep. Bill Zedler, R-Arlington, and Rep.-elect Matt Krause, R-Fort Worth, said they plan to vote for Simpson, while incoming Rep. Stephanie Klick, R-Fort Worth, strongly suggested she may, too, the newspaper reported.
Zedler was one of the 15 Republicans who voted against Straus two years ago, even after his two opponents had withdrawn. In the May 29 primary, Krause beat Nash. On Friday, he issued a statement saying he'd known Simpson, "a man of principle and character," for several years, "since before either one of us were in the Legislature." Klick, a former chairwoman of the Tarrant County GOP who won Sen.-elect Kelly Hancock's old House seat, told Montgomery her constituents are wary of Straus.
Montgomery, though, was unable to elicit any other GOP newbies in the county delegation — or anyone else, for that matter — who said he or she plans to vote against Straus. Veteran Rep. Lon Burnam, D-Fort Worth, will sit the race out, as usual. And Reps.-elect Craig Goldman, R-Fort Worth, and Jonathan Stickland, R-Hurst, hadn't signaled a preference as of late Thursday, while Rep.-elect Giovanni Capriglione, R-Southlake, could not be reached for comment. (Capriglione upset Truitt, who was an influential committee chairwoman.)
To make a race out of this thing, Tarrant County's delegation, which has 8 Republicans and 3 Democrats, has to all but secede from Team Straus. By now, Simpson has needed to have more of those young bulls in his stampede. The fact they won't be counted for him is telling, if not especially surprising. A freshman playing the "outside game" may be able to make his or her mark, as Simpson did. But the more likely outcome is two wasted years, with lousy assignments and little to no ability to pass anything. It's not all THAT different from the life of the average freshman, mind you — just bleaker.

Marco Rubio, A Catholic Candidate Who Will Not Compromise
By Deal W. Hudson
Move over Sarah Palin – the GOP has a new star on the rise! Former speaker of the Florida house, Marco Rubio, has pulled twelve points ahead of Florida Governor Charlie Crist in the GOP senatorial race.
Although the election is not until August, some political observers are speculating Crist will pull out of the race in time to get back in it as a Democrat or an Independent. Crist's support has fallen from 53 percent in August to 37 percent as of February 1.
Rubio's rise has been so meteoric he was pictured on the cover of New Times Magazine (1/6/10) under the headline, "The First Senator from the Tea Party?" The answer to that question, in my opinion, is "No" for several reasons. The first being the article's implication that Rubio's candidacy is appealing to some sort of extreme political element, when, in fact, Rubio is a fiscal and social conservative with strong appeal to moderates and independents.
Only 38 years old, Rubio, the son of a bartender and maid, is the father of four young children. When I met him for dinner a few weeks ago in DC, Rubio left the table to call home and tell his children 'goodnight' just before bedtime. Rubio, from the Cuban community of Miami, obviously didn't do this for show — he often spoke in a self-effacing way about his wife, Jeanette, who reminds him to take out the garbage and "move those boxes."
A few days ago I caught up with Rubio as he drove from Miami to Melbourne for a series of four appearances on the Friday before the Super Bowl. Football (Dolphins & Gators), by the way, is one of Rubio's few hobbies. A former high school and college defensive back, he would play flag football on the weekends, when he had time. "I read a lot, " Rubio says, "Right now I am reading, Peggy Noonan's When Character Matters."His choice of reading didn't surprise me.
The old-fashioned virtues are important to Marco Rubio. His home, in a working class neighborhood of West Miami, is close to the home his parent's bought in 1984 after moving back from Las Vegas. "The neighborhood is just home, close to my family, where I grew up, and where I feel comfortable."
Cubans are known for having close ties to their families. For Rubio, being a father is the "most important" job he has. "As my kids gets older, if I get that job wrong I will regret it the rest of my life." His children, ages 2 through 9, are two boys and two girls. His wife, Jeanette Dousdebes Rubio, a Miami Dolphins' cheerleader in 1997, was born in Miami to Columbian parents.
Rubio doesn't think the surge of support for his candidacy is about him personally:
"I think it's about our message. On multiple fronts, the American people think this administration is going in the wrong direction. They want to elect people to go to Washington, stand against this agenda, and offer a clear alternative."
The Obama administration, for Rubio, lacks a belief in what has made this country the most free and prosperous country in history, the American free enterprise system. "The White House," he argues, "has enacted policies that hurt the environment for business. Government should help investment," Rubio explains, "with a reasonable tax policy, predictable, without an overly burdensome regulatory system — one that ensures the public safety and welfare."
He points out that Gov. Crist praised Obama's stimulus package. Rubio opposed it because he doesn't believe that government should be spending money "we don't have," adding, "The debt we are saddling our children with is unconscionable."
For Rubio, Obama's lack of awareness of how his policies are impacting individuals and families also explains the negative reaction to health care reform. "People are reacting to the notion that the state is going to be in charge of another aspect of our lives." Everyone understands that people need broader health insurance, but they are "not prepared to turn over their liberties to get it — they don't want to live in such a country."
Rubio has not been shy about mentioning his Catholic faith on the campaign trail. He told me that he hasn't met any objections: "I don't think my views should offend anyone — you can't force religious views on anybody, but it's an essential part of who I am, how I view the world, how I try to live, and part of that is we are all flawed and need forgiveness."
We talked briefly about Catholic politicians who are elected and then cave in on issues like abortion, euthanasia, and the protection of marriage. "I have a consistent record on those issues, and they are not going to change with the polls or the times. Roe is morally and constitutionally wrong and should be overturned. Marriage is between a man and woman; it is the cornerstone of society, the best way to raise children, the product of a thousand years of wisdom."
For Rubio, his pro-life convictions are the "cornerstone" of everything else. "A society that does not respect the sanctity of life cannot make sense of anything else, and it leads to absurd and dangerous policies." Without a belief in protecting preborn life, "the entire society is endangered, and social justice cannot be the outcome of such an unjust system."
As the son of Cuban exiles, Rubio's core beliefs were shaped, not just by his Catholic upbringing, but by his parents' stories, and the stories of many in the Cuban community of Miami.
"We are not just immigrants, we are immigrants of a unique kind –- the Cuban exile community has a real passion for liberty because we know that politics matters and has consequences. This awareness runs through the veins of our community, that liberty is not something that is self-perpetuated."
Yes, Rubio is articulate. He still has the dash and charm of a young man. But he's a seasoned politician, having just finished eight years in the Florida legislature rising to Majority Whip, Majority Leader, and Speaker of the House.
Keep your eye on Rubio; he's got a personality, quickness of mind, and fearlessness, not often found in politics.

IRVING – Barry Earl Snyder Sr., a 72-year-old battle-scarred political veteran who already has served four terms as Seneca Nation president, was returned to office Tuesday night by voters.
Snyder's election followed one of the most bruising and hard-fought elections in the history of the region's most-high-profile Indian tribe.
The dominant figure in Seneca politics over the past 40 years, Snyder defeated five other candidates, beating his closest challenger, Tribal Council Chairman Richard E. Nephew, by 225 votes. The election followed a nasty campaign marked by harsh accusations that the outgoing president, Robert Odawi Porter, and Nephew made against Snyder.
Nephew and Porter accused Snyder of malfeasance in connection with a crooked land deal for a Lewiston golf course and with fundraising for a charity group to help people with diabetes. At one point in the campaign, Nephew and Porter supporters sent a postcard with Snyder's photograph on the front, bearing the caption, "How much money can one man steal from the Seneca Nation?"
Snyder denied the accusations, and voters put him back in the office he last held from 2008 to November 2010.
"I want to thank the Seneca people for once again believing that leadership of our nation is by the people," Snyder said. "The past two years have broken the spirit and confidence that our people have in Seneca political leadership. We will not look back, but we will move forward with an open and transparent government ... Now is the time for the Seneca."
Snyder's archrival, Porter, was defeated by Snyder running mate Rodney Pierce for the office of treasurer. Pierce is Porter's brother-in-law.
Six candidates – the largest number in decades – sought the presidency, which pays an annual salary of $185,000 and carries the power to hire and fire thousands of people. The Seneca president is believed to be the highest-paid elected official in Western New York, making $80,000 more than the mayor of Buffalo and $82,000 more than the Erie County executive.
Pierce defeated Porter by a count of 1,105 to 786.
Geraldine Huff was elected tribal clerk.
Elected to the Tribal Council, the Senecas' governing body, were Jeff Gill, Christina Jimerson, Linda Doxtator, Shelley Huff, Morris Abrams, Arlene Bova, Kevin Printup and Mike Williams.
Keith White Sr. and Kara John were elected chief marshals. Lance Cooper, Darby Leroy, Diana Maybee, David Isaac, Clifford Pierce, and Randy White were elected marshals. Elected as assessors were Stanley Jimerson, Terry Nephew, David Pierce, Brenda Redeye, Sally Huff and Ronald Kenjockety.
Elmer Logan and Jason John were elected highway commissioners, and Llona Leroy and Rae Lynn George were elected poormasters. Porter ran for treasurer because tribal laws prevent anyone from serving as president two terms in a row.
With so many running for president, the Senecas said, the voter turnout of 2,636 was among the largest they have seen in decades.
Wednesday, many tribe employees were locked out of their offices as leaders prepared for what could be a rough transition of government control.
According to Seneca officials, police marshals were posted at the tribe's two main government buildings in Irving and Salamanca to keep employees – many of them loyal to the current, outgoing administration – from reporting to work.
"The offices were locked down to protect the integrity of Seneca government records and functions," said one Seneca source who is familiar with the situation.
The lockdown occurred just hours after Snyder was elected president.
Porter will remain president until Tuesday, when Snyder will be sworn in, Seneca officials said. But Snyder has already begun to take over the operations of a government that has 1,300 tribal employees, the officials said.
"Barry will reorganize the government. People will be fired or laid off. New people will be hired. This is what happens when you elect a new president every two years," a Seneca official told The Buffalo News. "We're going to be in turmoil for a while."
Snyder and Porter, political archenemies, were both unavailable to comment Wednesday.
After Tuesday's election, Snyder could face some challenges in dealing with the Tribal Council. Nine members of the Council were people who have been loyal to Porter's political group, while seven have been tied to Snyder's group.

Woz thinks iTunes should be released for Android

This idea is not bad at all, but we all know that Apple will never allow that.

Good idea, but we might get sued. I feel red thumbs coming already.
64. abdane (Posts: 494; Member since: 07 Oct 2011)
will, since we will still have drag and drop and the openness, that would be great... but i wish it would update latest android versions on any android device, that would be awesome :P

Woz is one guy the whole android community loves and all Apple sheep love to hate but cant ignore!
He is right ...there is nothing wrong with porting a great system to another platform...heck it might get Apple's sorry a$$ some love from us androids!
Woz isnt biased and that I can respect :)

I f**king hate iTunes. Don't even talk about it on Android platform.

No one is forcing you to use it. Note the purpose of this article: "freedom of choice" and "openness."
45. MeoCao (unregistered)
Google Play Store is improving fast, you have Amazon which is as good as iTunes, and there are many other streaming services as well.
We never lack choice with Android b-c Android supports all standard media formats unlike iOS.
46. dsDoan (Posts: 229; Member since: 28 Dec 2011)
Google Play Store and Amazon don't help those who have invested a lot of cash in iTunes that are considering a switch to Android but won't because they their data is tied up in iTunes.
50. MeoCao (unregistered)
There are many tools that help you convert iTunes collections to standard formats.
55. dsDoan (Posts: 229; Member since: 28 Dec 2011)
The average consumer isn't going to invest the time in 3rd-party tools when considering the switch, regardless of how simple it may seem to you or I. It's too much of an inconvenience. They would use software they already know.
56. VZWuser76 (Posts: 4210; Member since: 04 Mar 2010)
One pretty simple way, and cheap depending on the size of your music collection, is to burn music CDs of your library. Not in mp3, but with the format that can be played in any CD player. Then after that rip it to your PC. You lose the DRM when converting for audio CD. This obviously is only for music, but the only cost is blank CDs which are dirt cheap and anyone can burn/rip CDs.
82. Rayvelynn (Posts: 124; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
if you switched from an iphone to an Android, just download Google Music to your computer & select "Itunes" for the option to transfer music to your android device. you also have to make sure the app Play Music is already downloaded on your phone. Hope this helps. =O)
41. SleepingOz (unregistered)
I don't like itunes as well but I like the idea of buying a single app and use it on both platforms. I, personally don't use any iOS device but I know a lot of people using Android as phone and iOS(iPad) as tab.
And this would facilitate the switch from iOS to Android(vice versa).
51. MeoCao (unregistered)
In this case just call Apple to use standard file formats, but they won't so Woz's talk is for nothing.
78. Evil_SaNz (Posts: 259; Member since: 20 Oct 2011)

2. bragzter (Posts: 52; Member since: 21 Feb 2012)
I personally don't like or use iTunes. It's a waste and a headache, especially when managing multiple devices. User profiles to set up, music has to be converted to aac format, why can't it remain as mp3. Apple is like a communist state and people just don't see it. They demand you do things their way or no way.
7. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
All the songs I have on iTunes are on my SD card. Its actually not hard at all and takes a few seconds for each song.
9. Pings (Posts: 303; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
Yep. Google Play music > iTunes

I just wish that google make a desktop app.
I find it very nice to have the "mini" player on my taskbar to quickly pause and skip songs.
If you have more than one iDevice, it wants to sync EVERYTHING. Apple has no idea that the function of an iPad isn't the same as a phone.... or an iPod.

iTunes is what kept me from iPods during the whole mp3 Boom... Maybe I grew up old styled, but I absolutely love drag n drop... even though it might be a little more work... I feel in charge of my files...
But I understand the people who likes iTunes... it is just not me...
And for Android we have Double Twist anyway
89. Pings (Posts: 303; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
100% iTunes kept me away from iPods and playlists too. Because I am old school. The thing is they say it's easier to do when it's not. It's actually harder. Although iFans will believe any crap Apple tells them.

why do we have to adopt apples software? why shouldnt apple adopt android software? because you know that may the case, tryna get android to be like apple when in reality apple needs to be more like android! all we (android) is missing is jelly bean and premium builds on our devices........thats just the way i see it
14. MichaelHeller (Posts: 2703; Member since: 26 May 2011)
Because iTunes is still a more popular content store than Google Play, that's the argument. People have spent a lot of money in iTunes over the past 10 years. People haven't been buying Android devices for Google Play, but people have been buying Apple hardware because of iTunes.
18. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
yea ok if breaking you guys out of that ecosystem that you are so in debt too then maybe it could help those users in a great way......
also "everybody" may not be buying android for google play but you best believe a lot of people look forward to the play store and having that type of store in particular when choosing an android phone........
34. MichaelHeller (Posts: 2703; Member since: 26 May 2011)
It's the same reason I expect to stick with Android unless something really changes my mind. I've spent a lot of money in the Google Play Store. Sure, the music and books could follow me, but the apps are an investment I don't want to lose.
Similarly, iTunes has been around a long time, and a lot of people have built up a library of music and such. It's also a big reason why the Kindle Fire has been successful, even though it has glaring limitations compared to a full tablet: people have invested a lot in the Amazon ecosystem.
The Nexus 7 has done a lot to push the Google Play brand, so I can see the trend changing, but we're not there yet.
It may not be the best reason to stick with one platform over another, but it's one that a lot of people consider when choosing whether or not to stay with the platform they've got.
37. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
I understand what you are saying........people invested alot money into the apple ecosystem and that makes it pretty much impossible to leave!......I understand that
But people buying apples product for itunes is not "soley" the main reason why the want it......ITs jus something they look forward to having when making that choice.....Same goes with android, people expect to see the Google Play when they turn their phone and get it up and running....
All i was saying is if this is a way to help iphone users to escape that ecosystem that apple has embedded on them then it sound like a good idea
66. MichaelHeller (Posts: 2703; Member since: 26 May 2011)
I'm not saying that people make always make their buying choice based on iTunes. I'm just saying that from Apple's perspective, iTunes is a tool to get people to buy hardware. It's not the hardware sales that are driving people towards iTunes.
30. Jelly_Bean (Posts: 109; Member since: 11 Sep 2012)
iThink you r wrong MichaelHeller.
iThink people buy Apple's hardware because it looks cool (even for few months though).
I haven't heard anyone buying an iPhone or any other hardware because it has got iTunes rather heard (I'll buy because its cool to own Apple's hardware)...!!
70. remtothemax (Posts: 260; Member since: 02 May 2012)
well, to be honest, it was why i got an ipod years ago when i first got an mp3 player
32. Stuntman (Posts: 836; Member since: 01 Aug 2011)
I can see a benefit for someone who has iOS devices wants to switch to an Android device. Right now, you have to purchase and install all of those apps again. If iTunes on Android allows you to download the Android versions of those apps without having to purchase them again, it will make it less painful for users to switch from iOS to Android.

5. Allen3697 (Posts: 86; Member since: 26 Mar 2012)
I LOVE iTunes and it's where I keep all my music and where it will always stay. I would buy an app for iTunes. Heck, I would pay 10 or 20 dollars for it because iTunes is a great music service. I'm not asking to be able to have my Android act like an iPhone, I just want to be able to play my music.
10. Non_Sequitur (Posts: 1111; Member since: 16 Mar 2012)
Check out Amazon MP3. You'll change your mind about iTunes. One of the main reasons I choose Android over iOS is because of iTunes. I hate iTunes, lol.

And the role given to Woz as a "good guy at Apple" continues...

or at least the "good guy that was once at Apple, but is now entirely separate from the company as a whole"
74. AppleConspiracy (Posts: 637; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
I cannot resist the impression of mediasphere as a scenography for some kind of play. Lately, Woz is becoming the symbol of something inside of Apple that has the voice of reason to te tech world. It's obviously something artificial, a role that media gave to him, and we could see that everyday in news, that tells us only the things about how Woz was against some Apple's strict principles. It's what people want to hear, because those news are "aware" of symbolic war between Google and Apple that has nothing to do with technology.

No thanks Mr. Woz i used to own a crappy ipad that only lasted 2 years.

71. remtothemax (Posts: 260; Member since: 02 May 2012)
well you can, you just have to get third party software to convert them to mp3 or whatever
20. edpad90 (Posts: 23; Member since: 03 Aug 2011)
The only reason I think why Wozniak would want that to happen is because of all the free music he may have through itunes. Im sure android is his favorite OS and he wants his imusic in it. lol

You can transfer you music from iTunes to any media player device, you just have to know how to do it

Greiner I don't know if the mayor is your son-in-law, cousin, boss, crush or best friend, but obviously you have some sort of agenda in order to see him through your rose-colored glasses (no pun intended) and wishful thinking rather than reality.
As far a re-election, I think it was a combination of apathy, his opponents, as well as, to some extent especially among older voters, voting strictly along party lines as previously suggested---pretty much the same way Obama got re-elected. In both cases I think among those who bothered to vote at all and those who don't necessarily vote the party, it was mostly a case of what they perceived (rightly or wrongly) as 'the lesser of the evils'.

Now it is intermintent rash of shooting that happen then stop and as for placing blame for crime rates lets serve it where it needs serving...... CITY COUNCIL. After all they turned down a grant let me repeat that A G R A N T not a loan a grant which means FREE MONEY and they turned it down to hire if memory serves right 3 count them 3 new cops. Not Gabe City council did that so maybe instead of Gabe taking all the heat for everything we must remember this.... There is more than just one politician in this town.

As for Khol's--they are here at what cost? And those few jobs are nearly all minimum wage jobs, not jobs you can support a family on and contribute to the economy or tax base in any significant way.
As far as the parking deck--BFD. Sure it creates more parking, but that isn't anything I would consider a major accomplisment. Any mayor would likely have done the same thing.

gree that it is entirely inappropriate to bring one's family into something like this that has nothing whatsoever to do with their personal life.

Learn to Swim think back to the admin before Gabe and how many shooting there were then now look present day through his entire admin and tell me what is less for shootings and violent crime and also think of it this way 1. would khol's every thjought of coming here unless crime rates dropped or stayed the same before and two the average Khol's creates 65 jobs and that is better than none at all. Also to point out i was not a resident of Williamsport during the last admin before Gabe but let me tell you i heard a lot more about shootings then when i lived in loganton than i do know living in the city

Greiner2009 - I disagree 1. Less shootings - I read in the paper of at least 8 cases of shots fired or shootings in the past two months 2. Less violent crimes - See #1 3. Khol's - How many jobs did Kohls really create for residents? I would guess twenty, maybe thirty 4. New Parking deck - The city is being sued over that too.

This is not a world of what have you done for me lately.

Less shootings 2. Less violent crimes 3. Khol's 4. New Parking deck to help with parking issues

Read the article folks. The field repairs will be covered by the $20K bond . . . The utility bills appear to be the outstanding expense, not the field. Athletic fields everywhere are used for different things all the time. No big deal, ya just change it back. As for the light bills, I will never understand why they used those big lights for open skating anyways, about 6 100W quartz lights or dusk to dawn type would have more than illuminated the rink for ice skating. When I was a kid skating on outside ponds, we only had one light at each end.

Instead of passing the blame around (even though I would blame city council more) who and what will it take to restore our ball park? What about the city pool near by?

There is no one here to blame but the elected officials who voted in favor of this arrangement. The Mayor, and each councilmember who voted in favor of this should chip in equally, out of their own pockets, to pay for the repairs to the field. They can consider it a lesson learned. Idiots.

Lot Lizard: n. (lott-liz-zurd): trashy, street-level, female prostitutes who frequent some truck-stop parking lots and rest areas at night. Most lot lizards openly "advertise" using CB radios; others boldly walk from truck to truck randomly knocking on doors. Same as: commercial company; lizard; pavement princess; sleeper leaper; mattress maiden;

Truck-stop managers revealed that although they were concerned about increased costs for more fences, razor-wire and additional security personnel, most felt that increased lot lizard concentrations would result in much higher sales of items like bug spray, pepper spray and air fresheners, which might offset some of the cost.

Globetrotters return to the Erie Insurance Arena
You wonder how the Harlem Globetrotters manage to keep drawing large, enthusiastic crowds to cities they've visited year after year. Then, you chat with a player like Scooter Christensen, and you understand why.
He'll be one of the Globetrotters at Tuesday's game at 7 p.m. at Erie Insurance Arena, and judging from his energy level, you'd think it's the only game he'll be playing this year.
Never mind that he's been on the road since the day after Christmas, and will keep playing through the end of April. Then, after a two-week break, it will be on to a lengthy tour of Europe and South America.
Asked if all that travel doesn't wear him out, Christensen, now in his eighth season with the Globetrotters, laughed. "I am a very lucky man," he said. "Do you know that I've visited 60 different countries? Not many people can say that."
Christensen, 34, seems like the ideal representative for the "Clown Princes of Basketball," as the Globetrotters were once known. He describes himself as a "genuine people person" and mentions in passing that he's in the Guinness Book of World Records for longest time spinning a basketball.
"I can spin it on my fingertips, on my head -- you name it," he said.
I saw my first Globetrotters show back in 1958 at the Gannon Auditorium, as it was known then, and I've seen them perform more than a dozen times since then.
Every time you think, ho hum, the Harlem Globetrotters are here again, they always do something to make you smile -- especially the kids.
Years ago, during an interview with Meadowlark Lemon, then the team's star, he almost took a swing at me when I asked if, deep down, he didn't feel a little bit like a puppet dancing on the strings pulled by a white man, team owner Abe Saperstein.
The question infuriated Lemon and, in retrospect, I probably could have phrased it better.
But after calming down, Lemon, who was a hard-bitten sort, said, "We're the performers, and people love us for how we entertain them."
He said it with such conviction that, 35 years later, I still remember his words.
"The key is to keep the performances fresh," said Christensen, a Las Vegas native who played his college ball at the University of Montana.
A lightning-quick ballhandler, the 6-foot-1 Christensen tried out for the NBA, but couldn't quite catch on. "I was working as a videographer for the Phoenix Suns and also playing on their practice team when a scout for the Globetrotters stopped by one day," he said.
"He was there to look at another player, but noticed me," Christensen said. All those years of emulating "Pistol" Pete Maravich, who specialized in behind-the-back passes and other tricks, paid off.
Even after he signed with the Globetrotters, Christensen said it took a year before he felt comfortable performing all the various routines.
"At our games, seeing the look in the eyes of all our young fans always gives me a good feeling," he said.
Part of being a Globetrotter is reaching out to fans, especially the kids, at schools and hospitals wherever they go.
The team now includes three female players, who have become fan favorites. "This year, we involve the fans, as they pick the rules for one of the four quarters of our games," Christensen said.
Asked if his enthusiasm ever wains, he admitted, "Sometimes you get a little tired, but then you hear the opening notes to 'Sweet Georgia Brown' and it always picks you right back up." Spoken like a true showman.

MARTINSBURG - With a shaky voice, John Reisenweber executive director of the Jefferson County Development Authority, described Whitney Burch Barrett.
Article Photos
He could not say enough about his program manager, who passed away suddenly Wednesday.
"It's been a rough day," Reisenweber said. "Whitney was just a tremendous human being - a wonderful human being."
Barrett, 32, was a 1999 graduate of Jefferson High School and a 2003 graduate of Shepherd University with a bachelor's degree in marketing.
She worked as the program manager at the Development Authority for 10 years and handled many projects including spearheading the website redesign and Eastern Panhandle Entrepreneurs Forum events, Reisenweber said.
He described Barrett has having a memory "second to none" when it comes to Jefferson County, and simply had a nice way about her, never speaking a bad word for anyone.
"This is really a shock to all of us who loved and cared about her," Reisenweber said. "The organization will have to move forward, and we will be OK, but we will miss her tremendously and so will the community."
Reisenweber said he, along with the other members of the Jefferson County Development Authority, send their thoughts and prayers out to Barrett's parents, her husband and young daughter left behind.

And You Call Yourself a Film Buff?! – The Rules of the Game
By Kim Scott
Jean Renoir's The Rules of the Game (1939) or La Règle du jeu is one of those films that often flies below the pop-culture radar, but for any 'film buff', it's a must watch. I never fail to hear it mentioned in film class, either by my professor or by some astute film buff who boasts a full bookcase of the Criterion collection in the flesh. The Rules of the Game is widely regarded as one of the great masterpieces in the history of cinema, ranking among heavyweights such as Citizen Kane and Bicycle Thieves. Interestingly enough, the film was not recognized as such until about a decade after its initial release.

As children, our parents ordered us to sit up straight, say 'yes sir' and 'no ma'am' and to always write thank-you notes. In fact, you've probably lectured your own kids to the same effect.
The question is: do the rules of etiquette matter anymore? And, if they do, which rules remain relevant and which are due for an update in today's modern, technological landscape?
This isn't Downton Abbey — and that's a good thing.
As the founder of the Charleston School of Protocol and Etiquette, Cynthia Grosso is often asked by parents and by her students whether or not manners are even important in today's society. (The answer? They are.)
According to Grosso, the first rule of etiquette is to never embarrass anyone. Contrary to what some may believe, manners have nothing to do with not slurping soup, dressing up for dinner or being snobby. Good manners are simply a means of demonstrating care and respect to those around you, two things that could never be unimportant.
"A lot of parents think manners are a punishment," says Grosso, who cites writing thank-you notes as an example. Parents forget that they're not teaching their children to write thank-you notes; they're educating their children on the importance of expressing gratitude.
"You're not teaching children what to do but how to be," she says, adding that manners are about confidence and self-respect.
"I wouldn't want to hang out with someone who didn't have good manners," says Simon Aktar, 12, of Charleston, S.C. "I wish everyone my age knew about eye contact."
Aktar, who plays team sports and attends cotillion classes, credits his parents with teaching him how to behave properly. He's noticed that his school classmates that "get in trouble a lot" are those that have the worst manners.
Ma'am is no longer the word
Ma'am, a colloquial shortening of the French word madame meaning Mrs., is something locals and tourists alike often hear throughout the South. Along with sir, it's a show of respect. Outside of sister cities Savannah and Charleston (the two have both held the title of "most mannerly city"), ma'am and sir are being used less and less, according to Grosso.
Thoroughly modern manners
Ironically, the things that are supposed to connect us — e-mail, smart phones and social media — have begun to separate us. As our inboxes become our mailboxes and texting becomes the new talking, how do we maintain our manners?
"The dining table is the single most important place you display your manners," offers Cynthia, who has instituted a no-electronic-device dinnertime each night with her family, even when they're not at home.
Admittedly, if this rule isn't already in place with your kids you'll probably get some push-back. Once they realize how good it feels to genuinely connect with their family they'll be happy to put away technology during dinnertime.
The biggest etiquette obstacle Grosso witnesses in her child and adult classes? Smart phones.
"The cell phone isn't rude," says Grosso, "it's when and how you use it."
Grosso advises parents to educate their children about boundaries before handing them any electronic device. "If you pull that phone out, you're telling everyone around you that the phone is more important."
Grosso points out that if you've never been taught as a child you won't know as an adult and, "No matter what you do as a profession, we're all in the people business."
