Vincenzo Natali Tapped For 'Neuromancer'
Vincenzo Natali of Splice will direct the film adaptation of William Gibson's cyberpunk classic, Neuromancer. Natali has been rumored to head the project for weeks, but Seven Arts Pictures made the deal official today. The Canadian production will be financed by Prodigy Pictures and Telefilm Canada, with Prodigy's Jay Firestone producing.
As one of science-fiction's most acclaimed and influential works, Neuromancer has been subjected to several film treatments, none of which have been made. The book tells the story of Case, a cyberspace hacker in a dystopian future Japan, and is generally given credit for pioneering the idea of cyberpunk.
The project seems to be a good fit for Natali, who is known for mind-bending sci-fi films like the Kafka-esque Cube. Seven Arts' CEO Peter Hoffman backed the choice of director, saying "After seeing [Natali's] work, especially his cutting edge use of effects with Splice, we feel that he has both the story telling ability and the command of the visual medium to give this film the treatment it deserves.
While touching one of science fiction's sacred cows seems like asking for trouble (and nerd rage), the choice of director seems to be getting the project off on the right foot, if that's not mixing too many metaphors.

Rosanne Cash is recuperating after undergoing brain surgery late last month.
"Rosanne is back home recovering comfortably from her surgery, which took place on November 27," reads a message on her Web site. "She extends thanks and appreciation for all the love, good wishes, prayers and kindness."
Cash, 52, the daughter of the late country-music legend Johnny Cash, had been diagnosed with a "rare but benign condition."
Cash underwent brain surgery to correct what had been diagnosed as Stage 1 Chiari malformation, according to her rep. Chiari malformations, according to the National Institutes of Heath, are "structural defects in the cerebellum, the part of the brain that controls balance." Her rep said that Cash's symptoms had included headaches.

This is a discussion on [News] Next Version of Slackware Close to Final Release - Linux ; Patrick Volkerding Announced Slackware 12.1 RC1 ,----[ Quote ] | The first release candidate of Slackware 12.1 was released today, as | announced by Patrick J.

Patrick Volkerding Announced Slackware 12.1 RC1
,----[ Quote ]
| The first release candidate of Slackware 12.1 was released today, as
| announced by Patrick J. Volkerding, who also invited everyone interested in
| testing to help out.
My thoughts on Slackware 12.0 Â*
,----[ Quote ]
| The installation of the NVIDIA driver for my platform went off without a
| hitch. Â*There arenât a great many games for GNU/Linux yet, but there are a
| few to choose from when the desire to game hits me, and if the native
| GNU/Linux games arenât enough, WINE works wonders. Â*I can generally play more
| games designed for windows than a Vista user. Â* Â*
| [...]
| Though Slackware takes a little bit more effort than many other operating
| systems to get set up and working, it is well worth the effort. Â*I have found
| my new favorite OS. Â*
Slackbuilds: A Slackware solution
,----[ Quote ]
| It's another great reason to run Slackware.
Slackware, the Un-Buntu
,----[ Quote ]
| Once again, Slackware is supposed to be complicated and hard to manage, but
| this experience proved to be different -- and very satisfying. In the Xfce
| printer settings, I selected CUPS to manage my printing. Then I went to CUPS
| configuration in the Slackware menu. Â*
Slackware: old warhorse is going strong
,----[ Quote ]
| The last time I looked at Slackware was nearly seven years ago; version 7.1
| was thrown my way by a magazine and I was asked for a review. My usage of the
| distribution had ended early in 2000 when I moved to Debian after using
| Slackware 4.0 and then 7.0 for about a year. Â*
| [...]
| I guess Slackware will have its band of loyal users; it has some good points
| and a certain kind of people like their Linux the way Volkerding has designed
| the distribution. Had the upgrade process been less cumbersome, who knows, I
| might still be using it. Â*
Slackware: Secure all the way back to 8.1
,----[ Quote ]
| Slackware provides security updates all the way back to version 8.1 along
| with 9.0, 9.1, 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 11.0 and 12.0, so if there is a reason
| you're using an older version of Slack, it is still being supported by the
| distro's creator, Patrick Volkerding and his team. Â*
Slackware: There's something totally sane about it
,----[ Quote ]
| Did I mention that configuring CUPS printing for my difficult-to-dial-in
| networked printer was easier in Slackware than in anything else I've tried?
| I'm mentioning it now. Â*
Slackware 12 Review
,----[ Quote ]
| I'm big fan of Slackware Linux, I have used it since the 9.0 version, and
| I am very happy with this distribution...
Slackware 12.0 Screenshot Tour
,----[ Quote ]
| Here are some of the advanced features of Slackware 12.0: runs the
| 220.127.116.11 version of the Linux kernel; system binaries are linked
| with the GNU C Library, version 2.5; X11 7.2.0...
Slackware 12.0 is released!
,----[ Quote ]
| That's right, the first 2.6(.21.5) based Slackware release is ready
| for download! We think you'll enjoy the latest kernel, KDE 3.5.7,
| XFce 4.4.1, HAL automounting for desktop users, an updated toolchain,
| and many other enhancements.
Full Slackware 12.0 Review
,----[ Quote ]
| I HIGHLY recommend Slackware 12 to anyone that has an open mind and isnât
| afraid to maybe get their hands a tad dirty. Slackware wonât baby you like
| ubuntu, but you will learn a lot more about Linux with Slackware. Â*

FAU Receives Largest Ever Gift of Art Supplies
BOCA RATON, FL (May 9, 2008) – Florida Atlantic University's department of visual arts and art history in the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters recently announced it has received a donation of art supplies from Howard and Susan Cooper of Boca Raton. The gift, a massive collection of art and school supplies that could fill an auditorium, is the largest of its kind ever received by FAU. A new board member for the FAU Foundation, Howard Cooper worked in the art supply business in New Jersey after he graduated from Princeton University. With his knowledge of the business, he was able to amass a spectacular volume and selection of materials.
"I researched different options around the eastern United States, and I have been very impressed with the community outreach programs at FAU," said Cooper. "Not only does FAU offer an outstanding visual arts program, it is well connected to other community organizations that are serving students in need."
The gift includes reams of paper, a mountain of crafts and classroom materials, art and music books, architecture and engineering equipment, drafting room tables and apparatus, and films. Transported by large moving vans, the donation weighed approximately 50,000 pounds. The collection will be housed in the visual arts and art history department on FAU's Boca Raton campus.
Some of the items will be used for visual arts and art history instructors and students at FAU. Other materials, enough to supply the needs of thousands of art students, will be donated to underserved children in grades pre-K through 12. These donations will be made through outreach programs that partner FAU arts students with local schools and aftercare programs.
Aside from the supplies that will be used by instructors at FAU and those that will be donated, the visual arts and art history department plans to make some of the supplies available to FAU students for a discounted price. The proceeds from these sales will help to bring guest artists and speakers to campus.
"This donation represents enough supplies for the next two generations of students," said Angela DiCosola, chair of the visual arts and art history department at FAU. "This is a tremendous gift for our faculty and students, and for the community."
The School of the Arts in FAU's Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters brings together FAU's music, theatre and art departments, as well as the University Galleries, to provide specialized and interdisciplinary education for arts students. For more information about the School of the Arts, call 561-297-3606.

Officials with the Tontitown Department of Public Safety were notified about a large waste spill on Klenc St. Monday at 10am. Officers said the spill was human waste that leaked onto the road from a semi-truck.
"You had to close the window and spray or something," said resident Raul Granados.
WATCH: Crews try to clean up and alleviate smell from feces spill
Kristopher Arthur with Tontitown Public Safety said Huntsville had contracted a third-party company - Jimmy Jones Trucking from Berryville - to haul human wast to the landfill.
"It is bad, a horrible smell. I couldn't take it," said Granados.
Emergency officials said lime will be spread on the roads and soil to minimize the odor. They caution drivers because the area will remain slick for several days.
Arthur said the spill was contained mostly the area of Klenc, south of US Highway 412, and north of Kelly Avenue.
"I just hope the smell goes away soon," said Granados.
The city of Tontitown was assisted by multiple agencies including Elm Springs Police Department and the Washington County Sheriff's Office.
The Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality and the Health Department were also notified by the Tontitown emergency management department.
The State Highway Patrol gave the driver a total of four citations for having a "fictitious license", failing to pay for his registration, no proof of registration and for spilling human feces on the road.

As Simon Ndirgangu neared the halfway mark of Saturday's 37th Cooper River Bridge Run, he stole a glance at his wristwatch.
What he saw there was not good news.
"It was not a good time," said Ndirganu, a 28-year-old Kenyan who was trying to become the first man to win Charleston's famed 10-kilometer race for a third time. "Going up the bridge, I felt the wind was too strong for me, and I ended up dropping back a little bit."
On a warm and humid morning, youth was served at the Bridge Run.
Birhan Nebebew, a 19-year-old from Ethiopia, won the men's race in 28 minutes and 39 seconds. His countrywoman, 21-year-old Azmera Gebru, claimed the women's title in 32:14.
Neither winner speaks much English, but their joy in winning was apparent. Each claimed a winner's check for $10,000.
"He ran a good race," Kenyan Julius Kogo, who finished third in 28:47, said of Nebebew. "He's just a young guy."
Nebebew finished fifth at the 10,000-meter Steve Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, Ore., last year in 27:14, but was not able to approach that time on Saturday. His time of 28:39 ranked just 25th in Bridge Run history, well off the record of 27:40 set by Kenya's James Kosekei in 2000.
"It was a bit tough, but the competition was very good," said Kogo, who finished second last year. "It was nice at the start, but on the bridge it was somewhat windy. The weather was perfect for running, but I don't know what happened. They didn't run a very good time."
The elite female runners, on the other hand, turned in one of the better performances in Bridge Run history. Gebru's time of 32:14 is the 13th-best since the Bridge Run started in 1978.
"The conditions weren't bad, but it was slightly windy," said Allison Grace Morgan of Lexington, Ky., who was the top American female finisher in 34:31, good for eighth place overall.
"I feel like it might have been hotter than it has been in recent years, but I don't think that affected me too much."
Charleston's Michael Banks was the top male American finisher and also won the Marcus Newberry Award as the top local runner with a time of 30:19. Caitlin Judd, also from Charleston, won the Newberry Award for females in 38:10.
Jeff Nolan of Summerville won the Terry Hamlin Mobility Impaired Award in 43:48. He lost his left leg after a 2003 accident in which a 3,000-pound piece of machinery fell on his legs.
Alexandre Dupont of Clarenceville, Canada, won the men's wheelchair division for the third straight year and Cassie Mitchell of Atlanta was the female winner.
An unofficial total of 31,809 runners and walkers finished the race, a slight bump up from last year's 31,449 but well off the record of 36,652 finishers in 2012.
With increased security measures in place this year, the start of the race on Coleman Boulevard in Mount Pleasant went off smoothly at 8 a.m. By the time the elite runners reached the Shem Creek Bridge, a lead group of about 12 had separated itself, led by Kenyan Cleophas Ngetich, who wound up seventh in 29:14.
Ndirganu, who won the Bridge Run in 2010 and 2013, took the lead as the elite runners started up the Ravenel Bridge, the 13,000-foot span over the Cooper River, and the top runners hit the 5-K mark in about 14:55.
Nebebew and Mourad Marofit, a 32-year-old from Morocco, took over the lead as the runners descended from the bridge and made the turn on to Meeting Street in downtown Charleston, and it was a two-man race from there. Nebebew sprinted away at the finish, with Marofit in second in 28:42, three seconds off the pace.
Gebru led an Ethiopian sweep of the top three places among females, with 23-year-old Etalemhu Habtewold in second and Makida Abdela, 24, in third. Caitlin Bullock, 28 and from Charlotte, was second among American women in 34:47, good for 10th overall.
Among state runners, 50-year-old Irv Batten of Summerville won the male grand masters division in 35:17, just ahead of Larry Brock of Anderson and Marc Embler of Charleston. Eric Ashton of Columbia was third in the male masters race in 33:11, and Susie Smith of Greenville was third among female masters in 43:37, with Dian Ford of Piedmont fifth.
Mimi Sturgell, a 63-year-old from Kiawah Island, won the female senior grand masters division in 49:12.

As a Native feminist without apology, I'm thrilled that the Tribal Law and Order Act of 2010 has been passed to protect Native women from violence. I have fellow Native woman warrior and feminist to thank for coining that exact phrase, and in fact, the bill itself: my shero Ms. Sarah Deer.
Sarah and I first met through Facebook, then face-to-face at the Tribal Policy and Law Institute of America in St. Paul, MN. It was Indigenous feminist love at first sight.
A Mvskoke (Creek) from Kansas, Sarah is a Tribal Law Professor at William Mitchell College of Law and served on the advisory committee (while undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer) for Amnesty International's 2007 report "Maze of Injustice: The Failure to Protect Indigenous Women from Violence"–the fire behind getting the Tribal Law and Order Act of 2010 passed.
It's been a whirlwind three years–from the Amnesty report to the bill signing just days ago–but as Sarah says here it's really been 500+ years in the making. And since women are the life-givers, matriarchs, and center of our communities, we all have a responsibility to keep fighting.
JY: How are you feeling right now?
SD: I'm feeling exhausted and exhilarated. We–the five or six of us women who were connected in making this happen–kept saying to each other outside the White House, "This is so surreal!"
JY: When did it become real for you?
SD: It became very real when Lisa Marie Iyotte–a Lakota woman from the Rosebud Sioux tribe in South Dakota who is a rape survivor–spoke [at the bill's signing] and said unequivocally, "If the Tribal Law and Order Act had existed 16 years ago, my story would have been very different."
JY: Watching Lisa Marie I couldn't help but cry myself. I'm always reminded that when I feel emotional or show my feelings publicly, it's a sign that I've survived the attempts to beat the feelings out of me as an Indigenous person.
SD: So true. This has been a long time coming. Our connection to Amnesty International was really crucial in getting us there. It hasn't been an easy road since they are a non-Native organization, but I really trust them. They created an atmosphere for us to come as Native women and turned it over to us in a very respectful way.
Because of my connection to Amnesty, I was present at the White House for the bill signing, along with other members of the "Maze of Injustice" Advisory who have all worked so hard on these issues, including Charon Asetoyer, Vicki Ybanez, and Denise Morris.
JY: What has your role been in all of this?
Andrea Smith was a 2003/2004 fellow at Amnesty and encouraged them to do a report on the rape of Native women. Amnesty didn't have any experience in working on Native women's issues, so Andrea recommended that they contact me.
JY: How did it go from the report to where we are now?
It was pretty immediate. People have been working to get a bill in Congress on violence against Native women for years and years but it didn't have a fire to catch. So many people in Congress are blind to Indian issues–they don't even cross their radar.
But as I was on my way home from the report launch in DC in 2007, the Amnesty Media Relations folks got calls from staffers on Indian Affairs who were excited and wanted legislation. They thought that the report might be just the thing to make people pay attention, since it's a real embarrassment to the U.S. about the realities of Native women's lives. So they asked us to turn around and come back. I was very sick and going through chemotherapy at the time, but I went back.
First thing they planned was a Senate Committee on Indian affairs hearing, the first in front of any congressional body solely focused on any Native women's issues. It's been advocating and activism ever since.
We had big victories when Obama and Clinton included violence against Native women as part of their 2008 presidential campaigns. In fact, some of the language looked like it was lifted from the report. But we didn't know until last week that it really even had a chance.
JY: So it's been quite a whirlwind!
SD: It took 60 or 70 years for my favorite feminist from history, Susan B. Anthony, and all these women I looked up to as a little girl, to get the vote–and this took three years. It's really been 500 years, but three years of putting it on paper. There are 10 or 12 more steps we need to do, of course, but now it feels like we can change the world.
JY: What is the most important part of this bill for people to know about?
That it requires Indian Health Service (IHS) to train their employees on how to respond to rape. That, to me, is huge. The experiences of Native women at IHS when they are raped or sexually assaulted are horrible, and for IHS not to know what to say or do in these instances is unconscionable. The bill now requires them to go on record with policy and procedure–and if that is the only thing that the bill accomplishes, we can be glad for that.
JY: Is there anything you would change about the bill?
SD: I'm always concerned about "law and order" language. It certainly doesn't protect or help white women, so it's not going to help Native women. We have to make sure that the systems we set up are Native women-centered.
I wish the bill had language overturning the destructive 1978 Oliphant decision, which concluded that tribal courts do not have jurisdiction over non-Indians. It's not acceptable to have a non-Native person to come into the tribe and not be held accountable by the tribe.
JY: A thing that somewhat troubles me about the bill is a lot on criminalization and penalization. I'm a prison abolitionist in many senses and I'm very aware of how many Indigenous people are in the criminal justice system unfairly; but more importantly, that these entire systems are not our laws and not our systems.
SD: I agree with you 100 percent. You have to constantly challenge the idea that the Western criminalization system is the answer–it's actually the cause of our problems. It's difficult for people to understand that in order to change this, we have to give back sovereignty to tribes.
I'm so pleased that we are now collectively trying to keep things safer in our own communities–we don't have to replicate white law and order.
JY: Why are you a Native feminist without apology?
I don't know any other way to be. When you go to law school in the United States they try really hard to mould your brain into something else. U.S. culture is genocidal; they're trying to brainwash you. I tried, but I can't think without a Native woman's lens, rather than trying to be a white woman feminist. I've tried hard; it's not an easy thing to be a Native feminist and to try to feel normal. It was [a choice between] going and participating with the white woman's movement, which I can't do, or doing Native feminist, which is who I am.
JY: What would you say to encourage other Native feminists to continue the fight?
Every time I go to speak I think about Sarah Winnemucca, a Paiute woman who in the late 19th century went to the White House, and I say to myself, I can do this speech.
I would encourage young Native women to latch onto someone who inspires you and let them give you energy. For me that person was Bonnie Clairmont, my Ho-Chunk mentor and an all-around rock star. She has been working for Native women's rights for 30 years. I couldn't have done any of this without her.
This [act] is a very, very tiny beginning, but now I really believe it can be done. I don't know if I will see it in my lifetime, but I'm committed to making sure I do the work anyway.
JY: I want to thank Sarah Deer and countless other Native women, men and Two Spirit folks, as well as our families and our communities, for making this happen.
It's important not to just look at the statistics in Native communities and feel shocked. One of the greatest teachings I ever learned was that what you see and hear, you take a responsibility for. We are all members of Mother Earth, and the continuing violence against our sisters is reason enough why this isn't just a "Native" issue, but one that affects everyone.
As a young Native woman today I know it is my responsibility to ensure this work moves forward in many different ways, and to make sure that you are all part of it, too.

If you have an Apple product and want to download an app (short for "application" – a piece of software) you have to go to the iTunes Store which comes free with any Apple Device you own. Apple is very, very picky about which apps end up in their store – this means less chance of viruses. If you own an Android device, there are a few places to buy apps. The most popular is the Google Play Store. It's Google because Google owns Android. It will come free on your Android device as well. Android is not picky about what apps are in their store. If you have the skills to create an app, you can make it end up in their store. This means that there are some apps out there that could contain viruses. The best way to tell if an app is safe is to just read the reviews when you are looking at it. I would always read the reviews before buying any kind of app though.
What's an App? What Are Some Good Ones?
Tablets, Smartphones, iPods, Kindles, Nooks, oh my… Some students have had an electronic device for a while, others have access to a parent's or friend's device, and some just received one during the holidays. Whether you personally like all this technology or not, it's important to understand what apps are and how they are already helping to change how students learn both in and out of school.
First of all, a little tutorial on the devices students might be using. Every device runs on something – the thing it runs on is called the platform. This is kind of like the engine under the hood. If you have a Smartphone, the "engine" is most likely an Android or an Apple. If it's not an iPhone, iPad, iPod – you know, anything that begins with an i – it's probably an Android. (Blackberry and Windows Mobile platforms exist as well, but compared to Android and Apple, they're a rarity.) The pictures below show the Android and Apple symbols you'd find on your device(s).
As for educational apps, there are literally thousands to choose from. In any of the app stores, you could do a search specifically for educational apps, multiplication apps, reading apps, etc. and find both free and pay apps. The way many apps work is to offer a free version to get you hooked and then you'd have to buy the full version to utilize all the features. In general though, apps are cheap. Usually only a couple dollars so if you find one you would actually use more than a few times, it's worth it.
I would suggest that students choose apps that work on areas of weakness (for example, multiplication facts) or apps that can challenge them. Parents could even download some on their phone and just hand in over if they're ever playing the waiting game, like waiting for a doctor's appointment or haircut. If a child is just going to sit there bored, why not get them to learn…
Here are a few to get you started:

Schott's Field Goal Lifts Football Over Indiana
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - The Ball State football team (2-1) defeated Big Ten foe Indiana University (2-1) by a score of 41-39 Saturday night at Memorial Stadium on a game-winning 42-yard field goal by Steven Schott as time expired.
After Indiana scored a touchdown with 49 seconds left in the contest to take a 39-38 lead, junior quarterback Keith Wenning and the Ball State offense answered back by marching down the field to put themselves into position for the field goal.
The win marks the Cardinals' third straight victory over the Hoosiers dating back to 2008 and the second in two years under the guidance of second-year Ball State head coach Pete Lembo (2011, 2012).
"This is a very humbling experience right now," said Lembo, who has coached the Cardinals to two of their three wins against Indiana. "This is a great place, and Indiana is much improved. This was a great college football game. Both teams slugged it out."
Wenning had a good day offensively with three touchdown passes to move past Brent Baldwin (1993-96) and into a tie with Dave Wilson (1976-79) for fifth place on Ball State's career touchdown passes list with 36.
Ball State's defense limited the Indiana offense for much of the second half until two scores in the final five minutes gave the Hoosiers their bried lead. The Cardinals recorded three sacks in the game with junior defensive end Jonathan Newsome and linebacker Kenneth Lee each getting one.
The Hoosiers' touchdown with 4:07 left in the game made the score 38-32. Indiana would then attempt an onside kick in attempt to get the ball back, but Ball State recovered it. The Cardinals were forced to punt the ball back to IU, and the Hoosiers drove the field to take the 39-38 lead.
In the opening minutes of the third quarter, junior wide receiver Jamill Smith threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to Wenning to give Ball State the 31-25 edge over the Hoosiers. The TD pass and the reception marked the first for Smith and Wenning. The Cardinals added another score with 4:11 on the clock after Wenning found Zane Fakes in the endzone for 11 yards to put Ball State up 38-25. The touchdown marked Fakes second of the day and fourth of his career.
Indiana got on the board first in the opening minutes of the game, when kicker Mitch Ewald nailed a 26-yard field goal. After battling defensively with the Hoosiers, the Cardinals got on the board at the 9:05 mark in the first quarter after Wenning connected on a two-yard touchdown pass to Fakes.
Ball State got the ball back on the Indiana 45-yard line after the Cardinals defense stopped the Hoosiers on a fourth and one. The ensuing possession resulted in a Ball State touchdown after Wenning threw a 34-yard TD pass to sophomore wide receiver Willie Snead making it a 14-3 contest. Indiana would then score its first touchdown of the quarter with 4:20 remaining off of a 13-yard TD run from running back Stephen Houston.
In the second quarter, Indiana scored first to put them ahead of the Cardinals 17-14. Ball State would knot the game at 17-17 at the 7:35 mark after Schott kicked a 51 yard field goal. Schott's field goal was his second 50-plus yard field goal of the season.
Sophomore Jahwan Edwards had a 1-yard touchdown run at the 4:35 mark in the second quarter to give the lead to Cardinals, 24-17. The touchdown marked Edwards' 15th of his career and fourth this season. Indiana ended the half with a touchdown and a two-point conversion to head into the locker room with the 25-24 edge over Ball State.

Vitale's Raw collection includes styles that range from precise cuts with a masculine influence to wild and disheveled with a little punk thrown in as well. "Our world is still intact, as are the fundamentals of hairdressing," says Vitale whose untamed styles fit a world in transition.

They don't exactly scream 'Wish You Were Here' – but rare images of Salford's urban past have been turned into postcards for the first time.
The four photographs tell the story of the city's changing social and economic landscape from the 1960s to the present day.
Members of Manchester Modernist Society say the images capture concrete and brick structures have acted as unlikely playgrounds and gardens for generations of children.
The society gathered the images, archived at Salford University, and released them as postcards for the Secret Gardens Festival. The two-week event showcases the talents of local artists and photographers in Salford and Trafford.
Jack Hale, of the Modernist Society, said: "The images, taken by non-professional photographers and local people, reveal beauty in unexpected places."
The society took the photos from the Salford in Pictures project at Salford University.
The project saw artists Joanne Clements and Lawrence Cassidy collate the images with the help of pupils from Albion High School, residents of St John's Court retirement home and people from offenders in community programmes.
Professor Paul Haywood, from the university's School of Art and Design, which set up the initiative, said: "These images offer a fascinating insight into how life has changed in Salford since the 1960s.
"Being able to involve a number of groups from the community was a fantastic way to kick-start the project.
"In the long-term we hope to build on this snapshot of Salford's heritage by creating a wider print archive for future generations to enjoy."
The Secret Gardens Festival also features craft events, organ recitals, wall art installations, storytelling sessions and even the recreation of Japanese street shrines in the heart of Salford.
The festival takes place around Salford and Trafford until Saturday, June 23.
For more information, visit www.secretgardensfestival.net .
The postcards can be bought from The Modernist Shop at 142 Chapel Street Salford.

OOXML/ODF – The Next Stage is Unfolding in Norway
In 2009, Norway decided that ODF was to be used, rather than OOXML, but called for further study and input from the IT industry, and I gather Microsoft put its shoulder to the wheel, and guess what? Now there is a new report (in Norwegian) that compared the two and concludes that neither is suitable, and both should be kept "under observation". So, what should the government use as their standard if the report's conclusions are accepted? What's left? Previous legacy binary formats, one assumes?
Wait. No, it didn't. It didn't compare OOXML, the ISO standard, with ODF. It compared *ECMA-376*, which is not an ISO standard, with ODF 1.1, which is, but which no one much uses any more, practically speaking, last I heard, since everyone has moved to 1.2. What's the logic there?

It's all true, Twilight fans: Robert Pattinson is dating a costar, is engaged, has had a drug overdose, and has had an injury involving his derriere. All of it.
"I actually come up with these rumors myself," the British actor, 23, laughingly told Matt Lauer on Thursday morning's Today show.
In a chuckle-filled, rapid exchange of questions and answers with the morning host, Pattinson squarely took on all the outlandish rumors that have dogged him for the last few months – and jokingly fessed up to each and every one.
"You've been dating nonstop," Lauer said.
"Literally nonstop, yes," Pattinson said, looking relatively serious.
"You're dating a costar whose name rhymes with Tristan Blewart," Lauer said.
After a stammering, laughing pause in which he stared at the ceiling and formulated a dodge about the ever-simmering romance rumors, Pattinson answered: "Tristan Blewart ... there was a Liston Hewitt last year. That would be true, yes."
And so it went: Engaged? Yes. Hit by a cab? Yes. Had a drug overdose? Yes.
"And this talk about butt accident, butt injury? What was that?" Lauer asked.
"That was my mother giving birth," Pattinson said between guffaws.
Seriously, though, the actor said he was still shocked by the fame that the vampire saga has brought him, and has to use his professional skills to keep his sanity.
"I speak in an American accent when I speak to the crowd," he said. "I feel like it's acting. I mean, I think it's the only way I don't go completely mad."
And he's well aware of the irony that he almost missed out on being in Twilight because he wasn't getting enough recognition.
"The day before I had this audition, I was going to quit acting," he noted, adding, "I guess it's not quitting when you're not acting – it's surrendering to fate."

While I'm waiting for my Bixler to arrive, I have a question,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
anyone using a CF2812 1600kv motor?
How is it working for you?
I have a few sitting around and would like to use one.
Well, hopefully the dust has settled a bit, and in the clearer air, I hope Ol' Joe won't mind me getting the topic back to my central question:
"... [Is] "ours" indeed a 5x3. Anybody with the tools & know-how to physically measure one & determine what it truly is?? "
And whether its a "big deal" to anyone, doesn't answer the question. Just because in one person's opinion the stock prop is junk, doesn't logically infer ALL 5x3's are junk. I'm looking for a better, or more reliable 5x3....and if it's a 5x4, I'll know to look in another direction. Simple as that.
"It will produce about 23 ounces of thrust using a 3 cell Lipo battery and a 7 inch prop."
The recommended all up weight we're working with is 650g or ~23 oz, and max prop you can mount & clear the fuse w/o raising the motor's angle is 6" so.....your call, but I don't think it's got the 'oomph' you'd want.

A few thoughts about my Bixler/Skysurfer. (Sorry no pics or vid at the moment).
I very recently bought and put together my plane using the kit and my own choice of electronics. It all went together pretty smoothly - I can't really add any more to what others have already shared about the build - I have definitely been trawling this thread for ideas. I'm running a 2212 2200kv motor from rctimer with a Turnigy 30amp Plush ESC and 2200 Lipo. It seems to be a great combination! Other mods have been limited to a beefed up carbon rod and fibreglass packing tape. I haven't weighed it yet. The COG is between the 60 to 75mm range. - Don't have an accurate figure, I used my fingers to check the balance. After pulling out the weights in the nose the battery needs to be placed as far forward as possible. I may need to add a little more weight back to the nose for more stability. Right now it flies quite neutrally with barely no perceptable self righting capabilities; in a dive test it stays in the dive and I don't think it will pull out on its own accord.
I made a recess in front of the motor in the wing mount for the ESC. I think it looks pretty good and it seemed to keep the ESC cool during flight. I think I have sacrificed some of the strength in the wing mount to do this. I've wrapped the area in fibre reenforced tape to compensate.. Hopefully it will last the distance.
Anyway, the plane flies really well!! After a lot of slope gliders this is my first real powered plane and I'm having a lot of fun. I enjoyed flying circling around with a lot of pelicans today searching for some lift. It was a beautiful day with next to no wind. Perfect. I had a super time. With a massive flat mown field it super easy to land - especially compared to landing a glider at the coastal hills I'm used to.
A question: If I use any more than about quarter throttle I seem to need to input a bit of up elevator to keep the flight level, let alone start to climb. If I was to apply full throttle and not touch the elevator I'm sure it would settle into a screaming death dive. Is this normal? The thrust line seems to be the same as other pics I've seen.
One downer. I seemed to have killed my ESC. Its a Turnigy Mystery 30AMP. The first time I flew I had a couple times it cut out just for an instant. Today, on my second battery, it got a lot worse and then the motor quit altogther. The BEC part still works thankfully. Now when I plug it in there are no startup sounds. When I apply throttle the motor shudders a bit but thats it. The ESC also starts to warm up quickly which it didn't do before. I guess it is broken.
I have another ESC as back up. Is there anything I should do so I don't have the same problem again??
and if you have a digital camera you should be able to calculate it just from 2 views. Try it I will also try it with the ones I have and we will compare notes.

question for you; just how are you going to know that you've found a better, more reliable 5x3 or 5x4 prop if you determine the correct pitch?
My stating that the stock prop supplied with the SS/Bixler is junk isn't just my own opinion, there are others who have posted in this forum stating the same damn thing. Use the 'search' function for this forum to view those posts if in doubt. Better yet, take the advice you often give to many others to read the first few posts in this forum, especially the modifications recommended in Post #3, item #16. How in the world did you come to the conclusion, that by me stating that the stock prop was junk, logically inferred that ALL 5x3 props are junk? I just can't wrap my thought process around that statement because it doesn't make any sense.

No idea on the ESC. I've got a 55A in my Bix, but I think that's overkill.
The motor's got a lot of downthrust so it makes sense that you'd get a dive with throttle. I'm very pleased my Bix stays level through all throttle settings except that full throttle starts descending a little. I'm not sure what the magic balance of CG, wing incidences and/or thrustline did that. I just lucked out I guess.
If you are in the US, don't even let anyone even THINK you are hassling white birds (like pelicans). Migratory Bird Act is strict and penalties are surprisingly high. And, you get charged by the Feds... yuck... I fly AWAY from white birds. If I can't get away I land until they leave.
Seagulls, not so much, but Pelicans, Egrets, Herons, etc... yeesh... stay away!

Don't worry. Not even really close to the pelicans. They were even higher than me. I was just using them to find thermals. There must have almost a hundred passing through my window of sky during the hour or so I was around.
I live in Australia but I expect our bird protection laws would be much the same as in the US. I know what you are saying.
What do you think they are!?
I do not fly there, no need although every day I pass the turn to the airport going to work. I was there recently only once on my lunch time to film the helicopters a bit to the North. The security guy came to me and very kindly asked me to keep the plane away from there little helicopter area and fly over the airport as the rest of the guys do! He realized that I was a new comer and he was very friendly.

The bitter battle for the cubic equation.
It might not be as familiar as the circle or parabola, but it's definitely worth getting to know the hyperbola!
This week would have been the 100th birthday of Martin Gardner, who is deservedly credited with turning on several generations of people worldwide to the pleasures of maths! To mark the occasion here are some favourite puzzles that, apart from being fun, also lead to some serious maths.
If you like to have your mind blown cosmology is a great field to go into. But is it science?
Could the world be simpler than our senses suggest?
What gives an equation the right to call itself a law?
What makes a number a constant of nature?

Why is man bites dog news?
Because humans rarely sink their teeth into canines.
Why is Senate plans to pass a budget news?
Because Congress upper chamber has long ducked its fundamental responsibility to approve federal spending plans.
How long?
The U.S. Senate, under Majority Leader Harry Reid, last passed a budget on April 29, 2009. That appalling senatorial fiscal neglect includes 2010, when Democrats controlled both houses of Congress.
On Sunday, however, the third-ranking Democrat in the Senate, New Yorks Chuck Schumer, said the body will pass a spending plan this year and generated headlines across the nation.
He also said: Were going to do a budget this year and its going to have revenues in it. And our Republican colleagues better get used to that fact.
Translation of revenues: tax hikes.
Though were wary about the notion of raising taxes on a still-sluggish economy, we recognize the need for more revenues to help reduce deficits that have topped $1 trillion during each year of President Barack Obamas first term.
But were especially wary of the deeper spending cuts scheduled to kick in near the end of the decade-long budget deal that ended the year-ending fiscal cliff drama.
The Soviet Unions laughable Five Year Plans for agricultural production were far-fetched enough. Any 10-year plan that promises to finally trim federal spending much later while raising federal taxes now sounds like a suckers bet.
Still, any Senate budget should be better than what weve gotten the last three years no Senate budget. At least taxpayers will have some idea about where their senators stand on the bottom line.
The Republican House will almost assuredly pass a budget of its own as it has during the past two years after the GOP regained control of the lower chamber in the 2010 elections. Thus, the expectation of that legislative accomplishment rates no headlines.
That next House budget will also likely contain more spending restraint than the Senate version assuming there really is a Senate version coming.
Regardless of how different they are, though, budgets passed by a Democratic Senate and a Republican House would create starting points for reasonable compromise.
Thats the way our democratic republic is designed to work.
And voters elect U.S. senators to work at among other things the crucial task of passing a federal budget.

Concept of God
Concept of God
I can make no comment on who is God because I think we can not define God but what I believe that God has no religion and I have not found a better religious person than the one who loves people not his/her religion.
God exists in us or everywhere, just everywhere. I just need to feel or experience that all mighty. No need to explain anyone or follow someone else's feeling or experience of that all mighty.
GOD is everything there is, there isn't, everything you can imagine, whatever you cannot.
God means
Nothing is before Him.
Nothing is After Him.
Nothing is Above Him.
Nothing is beyond His Reach.
He Begets Not, Nor was He Begotten.
The Creator, Provider, and All-Rich.
The All-Seer, The All-Knower.
He is One and Self-Sufficient.
He is not Nature, or any part of it.

Centre for Gymnastics Research
The Centre for Gymnastics Research aims to gain an understanding of the techniques used in gymnastics skills from a perspective of sports biomechanics and motor control research. Such investigations can explain, for example, how a twist may be introduced into a somersault after takeoff, can quantify the contributions of various twisting techniques to actual performances, and can determine the extent to which twisting somersaults can be controlled by means of in-flight corrections.
The articles accessible from this site via the university repository span research on gymnastics that has been undertaken at Loughborough University in collaboration with British Gymnastics since 1980. While the research questions are formulated from a scientific viewpoint, many of the results have direct application to the coaching and performance of gymnastics movements. Such applications are incorporated into the coach education programme of British Gymnastics and the International Gymnastics Federation.
While data on competitive performances provides essential information underpinning the research, many of the research questions can only be answered using computer simulation models. Over the past 30 years such models have been developed by PhD students to answer questions on twisting somersaults, swinging on rings, swinging on high bar, uneven bars and parallel bars, vaulting and tumbling. Many of these have involved optimisation studies which, more recently, have incorporated requirements of performance consistency which take into account the variability inherent within human performance. This has lead to insights into the motor control of skilled performance.
Specific areas
Research sponsors include:
British Gymnastics
Loughborough University
International Olympic Committee Medical Commission
The Sports Council
Science and Engineering Research Council
Sport Canada
The Centre for Gymnastics Research is physically located within The EIS National Gymnastics Performance and Research Centre at Loughborough University.
The Director of the Centre for Gymnastics Research is Dr Michael Hiley.
BSC Honours Sport and Exercise Science Degree (Gymnastics)
A Gymnastics Pathway within the BSc Honours Sport and Exercise Science degree has been introduced within the School of Sport and Exercise Sciences at Loughborough University as of October 2008. This degree pathway provides an appropriate scientific background underpinning the sports science of gymnastics together with a number of modules focused specifically on aspects of gymnastics. These include a researchproject on gymnastics and a taught module on the applications of gymnastics research to coaching. Students registered on this pathway will have an opportunity to advance their coaching qualifications in parallel with the degree. This will result in graduates who are also qualified coaches and will benefit the future development of gymnastics in the UK.
Students with a gymnastics background who are interested in taking the BSc Sport and Exercise Sciences (Gymnastics) degree at Loughborough University should contact Dr Michael Hiley by emailing email@example.com

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. _ Did you get what you deserved for Christmas? Did you get what you needed? Did you get what you wanted? Most everyone receives some combination of the above.
More than a few of us got, shall we say, "other things."
Gov. Bob Riley and the Goat Hill Gomers gave us a new ethics package that will make drastic changes in the manner legislators and other public officials receive, disguise, process and explain bribes and illegal campaign contributions.
The same gang also showed their true vindictive colors and slipped state employees a blow lower then a snake making wishes on a birthday candle. They "showed them durned unions" and stopped payroll deduction of "membership dues" to professional organizations. It's not enough there are pay freezes and benefit reductions for a group already underpaid. Someone said, "Hey, y'all watch this, let's add insult to injury." This should be a political problem, but state leaders merely laugh about that. They know they are dealing with diehard dullards who recently proved again their prejudices compel them to vote against their own best interests.
No surprise that most of the electorate think a ban on "double dipping" means you can have only one dip of snuff at a time.
Enough of the "just what I always never wanted" gang gifts; it's time we take this to a personal level.
There are certain people who know best about everything and Christmas gives them the perfect opportunity to showcase their extraordinary misguided talents. They know what you want better than you do and insist on wasting their money and your time by giving you what they think you should have, what you really want but don't have sense enough to know.
My niece cracked me up with tales of a dear relative infamous for her inappropriate and often horrid gifts. I will not be too specific in order to protect the guilty, but one of the favorite tales she related was the time her husband was gifted with a pair of gloves. Sounds normal enough, right? It would have been if her husband had two right hands.
If he was a poor dancer and received two left shoes, I might have understood.
Some of us get weird gifts because we are "So hard to buy for." Most of us aren't if you know us and our habits. It's hard to give me anything legal that I enjoy better than books and music. Since I have walls full of books and CDs, some might think I have all I want and more than I need. A $10 gift certificate to a used book store will buy 5 times as many books as a $20 certificate to BAM or B&N. $15 will buy one CD. The same amount will buy three or more MP3 downloads.
An ex-relative (you figure it out) was famous for giving me clothes I wouldn't wear to a dog burying. One year she gave the wife and me horrid, matching purple and white striped ski sweaters. They looked like pelts from the offspring of Barney and a zebra. Few things gag me worse than couples who wear matching clothes. I call that the "Honey Bear / Sugar Face ensemble."
It was almost better when she bought books she wanted to read, then gave them to me for Christmas, coffee-stained new. That would have been OK, but I don't do housewife porn, err, I mean bodice ripping "romance" novels. A little Fabio goes a long way with straight guys.
I'd love to hear from readers who will share the worst and weirdest gifts they've ever received. I'll pass them along for all to enjoy.
Last, but not least, how can I thank the readers who sent me a garbage bag full of Sarah Palin Brand Nuts to serve at my next tea party, and the SP autographed hakapik baby seal club for use on the next hunt.
I tried to return them. My efforts were refudiated.

HTC One max size comparison: how big it really is
0. phoneArena 14 Oct 2013, 06:29 posted on
The HTC One max has arrived and it is exactly what we thought it would be - a large, 5.9" phablet with the aluminum construction and design we know from the HTC One…
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. D.Aceveda (Posts: 396; Member since: 30 Jun 2012)
So its nearly the size of the Mega.
I really hope this thing can sell
5. android_hitman (unregistered)
why? did you invested in HTC?
48. D.Aceveda (Posts: 396; Member since: 30 Jun 2012)
Because I don't wanna see HTC have another flop after their commercial FLOPPED
2. emadshiny (Posts: 1144; Member since: 05 Dec 2012)
Why iPhone MUST be always there?
It is totally out of today's measurement standards.
But sorry! I forgot here is iPhonearena!
4. Martin_Cooper (Posts: 1415; Member since: 30 Jul 2013)
Because its the best selling smartphone for the last 5 years? And you want always to have all sizes to compare. You want only flagship android? Lol. Don you get it how great competition is? And how bad will the android monopoly be for all of us beside google?
10. amats69 (Posts: 1432; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
Because htc one max is compared to flagships and iphones 5s is apples flagship.
32. itsdeepak4u2000 (Posts: 3718; Member since: 03 Nov 2012)
Because it can fit inside the screen of all other monsters. :D
35. tedkord (Posts: 11659; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
It should be there. It gives people with a particular sized phone an idea how big this is compared to it.
40. darkkjedii (Posts: 21216; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
It's one of the best phones, if you don't like it leave.
3. tiara6918 (Posts: 2036; Member since: 26 Apr 2012)
Too big for a phablet, Samsung made the size just right with the note3
8. Martin_Cooper (Posts: 1415; Member since: 30 Jul 2013)
I have to agree. Just too be for a phablet. It goes into the xperia ultra category while not having as big screen. Maybe its fingerprint scanner and great design will save it.
12. tiara6918 (Posts: 2036; Member since: 26 Apr 2012)
I really pity HTC, the one max could have been a better competitor only if the company made the right strategy. HTC feels to much pressure leading them to make all sorts of decisions. The design and the fingerprint might save it but what they need to do know is to find something to make the max more convincing to the consumer
19. Martin_Cooper (Posts: 1415; Member since: 30 Jul 2013)
It shows that max fingerprint scanner was add recently and they just rushed it. It looks ugly, dosnt blend in with the design at all. They just tried to spend as little money as possible developing it since they are runing out of cash. I think 2014 will show if HTC will recover or die/be bought. Its a shame that for the last 3-4 years they had s**tty updates compared to fast samsung. Too many models. s**tty marketing. Just so sad for a company that makes the most beautiful android phones.
29. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
Wait until next year for HTC... You know how many times that has been said?
34. ngo2dd (Posts: 896; Member since: 08 Jul 2011)
They had some of the best phone according to T3 anandtech and mobile choice. But marketing is too big of a factor. Sony has good phone too but you can't compete with a company that spend over 900 million in marketing for just their mobile division. Samsung has two superbowl ads. How many companies can do that?
37. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
Samsung because they're cool like that.
45. Goldeneye (Posts: 419; Member since: 22 Jan 2011)
Exactly my thoughts 6 inches with those big bezels is just ridiculous, hell! even the regular One is the same size as the G2 and the G2 has a 1/2 inch bigger display, no wonder HTC is losing money.
46. JC557 (Posts: 1516; Member since: 07 Dec 2011)
Umm, the BoomSound speakers made it larger and I've heard sounds from the Note 3 and it's nowhere near what the One can produce (unless HTC manages to F up the boomsound this time around).
47. bumstah (Posts: 14; Member since: 08 Oct 2013)
Being an iPhone user for 4 years, I thought even the Note 3 was too big. But after using it for a week I'm used to it now and very happy. I can't imagine using anything bigger though.

ugh....thats what you get when you have an aluminum body....heavier & thicker...
9. xperiaDROID (banned) (Posts: 5629; Member since: 08 Mar 2013)
With specs like this, HTC should be careful of pricing it. If not, this phone will not sell well.
Good luck HTC. Looking forward to what you will bring in next year.
By the way, check out this awesome video of the One Max.
16. Commentator (Posts: 3685; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
I can only assume you were being sarcastic about that video being awesome, because to my eyes it was sad and pathetic. The only slightly awesome thing about it is the Finger Scan. Everything else is something that's existed for years (HTC's had sweep-panorama since at least the Touch Diamond in 2008), or a minor software tweak that barely brings it to par with the competition (the S4 had the "PiP camera" thing since launch, and if "HTC Scribble" is the best phablet software they can come up with, I'd be surprised if this sells 500 units.)
26. xperiaDROID (banned) (Posts: 5629; Member since: 08 Mar 2013)
Sarcastic? I'm talking about the video, not the phone. HTC makes nice ads like the video above, but they never put their ads on TV and billboards. They have bad marketing, bad strategy, which is very disappointing.
The phone is disappointing, Snapdragon 600 processor, 4 Ultrapixel camera... very disappointing. I agree with you that the only awesome thing about it is the Finger Scan. Overall, this phone is disappointing.
I said "disappointing" four times, and you can see how I'm disappointed of this phone.
39. cheeseycheeser (Posts: 413; Member since: 24 Mar 2011)
It's true. I've always loved their ads, especially the older ones! But they only show the crappiest few on tv, and they only how those like once. HTC has way too much potential they waste. Samsung advertises like crazy, and I haven't been able to watch tv for weeks without seeing that freaking iPhone 5C ad. But HTC doesn't advertise at all and then they wonder why they're dying.
41. Commentator (Posts: 3685; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
I meant that the video was disappointing as well. The video highlights 8 things:
1) Premium Build & Big Screen
2) Fingerprint Scan*
3) BlinkFeed
4) Sweep Panorama
5) Dual Capture*
6) HTC Zoe
7) HTC Scribble*
8) HTC Boomsound
Where * Denotes a new feature to the One Max not currently present in the One.
More than half of the features listed are identical to those featured in the OG One, and of the three that aren't, only Fingerprint Scan is exclusive to the Max due to hardware limitations. So assuming HTC pushes the other two to the One via update, this video is basically telling us that the One Max has one new feature. It doesn't even highlight actual improvements, such as the SD slot and 3300 mAh battery.
I was a bit unfair for criticizing your taste in promo videos, and I apologize for that, but I think HTC went about this all wrong.
21. Martin_Cooper (Posts: 1415; Member since: 30 Jul 2013)
I think they added fingerprint scanner to differentiate them self s from Note 3 and other phablets. That one feature that might attract people like NOTE3 S-pen. But I am afraid Samsung's marketing machine will crash the max and generally HTC as a company. They almost destroyed HTC by now in every possible way. The only people who buy HTC are the old loyal customers.
27. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
S Pen > fingerprint scanner
22. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
So tell me again how the video is 'awesome?'
30. xperiaDROID (banned) (Posts: 5629; Member since: 08 Mar 2013)
The music and the animation makes the video awesome. Just my opinion.
The phone is disappointing.
11. fanboy1974 (Posts: 1345; Member since: 12 Nov 2011)
Hard to believe that the Note 3 has at least 3 phones bigger than it. The note was the original beast phone.
18. mdorno (Posts: 18; Member since: 17 Aug 2011)
Actually the Dell Streak was the original beast phone. Too bad Dell crippled it with poor software and lack of support.
42. Commentator (Posts: 3685; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
The OG Note was bigger than the Dell Streak, so it was more beastly. Besides, every huge phone that comes out can be considered the "original beast phone." When the HTC HD 2 came out, its "massive" 4.3 inch screen was considered beastly as well, as was the iPhone's "massive" 3.5 inch screen a couple years earlier.
13. SonyPS4 (Posts: 344; Member since: 21 May 2013)
Price is the key. Should be cheaper than Note 3 and Z Ultra.
23. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
You don't say?
24. Martin_Cooper (Posts: 1415; Member since: 30 Jul 2013)
It doesnt matter at all the price. Its all bout marketing and the king Note 3. No one can compete with note 3 marketing. Its simple as that. LG G2 is cheaper than S4/Z and so on but it doesnt sell more than S4. In now days its all about marketing :)
28. Martin_Cooper (Posts: 1415; Member since: 30 Jul 2013)
I dont know about USA etc but in my little country when note 2 came out every freaking billboard had ad of it. TV, radio everywhere. When new HTC comes out no one would even know beside the geeks like me and rest of us.
14. Nayabandaa (Posts: 29; Member since: 15 Mar 2013)
A comparison makes Note 3 looks like a one hand functionable device. Great design. Note 3 not One Max. Max is just the bulkier version of the One and i don't think it is carrying any kind of novelty factor either. Knowing htc and their pricing history, It is gonna cost higher than Note 3. I don't see it selling much. Very very big. Those who say Note 3 is huuge... show them One Max. Im sure they will hide somewhere.
15. Nayabandaa (Posts: 29; Member since: 15 Mar 2013)
Meh... not exciting. One was already bulky and this one is even bulkier with no kind of novelty factor too seems to be there. It is good though that htc introduced it. Now some haters will realise what kind of great work Samsung has done with Note 3. Great device Note 3. Knowing htc it is gonna be priced well above Note 3 and if it would be true... i just don't see it selling much. Nothing but an overgrown, bulkier version of One. One was good but this seems a too much lol.
17. Nayabandaa (Posts: 29; Member since: 15 Mar 2013)
Sorry for back to back comments. Not my fault. Blame PA lol. First i couldn't see my first comment, i wrote another.. a refresh and bang...lol. Both posts suddenly became visible with no option to delete either lol.
20. XiphiasGladius (Posts: 813; Member since: 21 Aug 2011)
I think the 6" Alcatel One Touch Hero can go toe to toe with this one, better since its price could be nearly half the price of this phone. What a Joke!
31. Smokin (Posts: 120; Member since: 10 Oct 2013)
LOL. It's gigantic. Even Note3 makes my hand full sometimes LOL
36. tedkord (Posts: 11659; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
Other than audio and possibly build, the Note 3 walks all over this.
38. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
I disagree with the build quality. Note 3 is solid in the hand imo and is basically indestructible.
43. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
ROFL We have a new super brick champion.
1. HTC One Maxx
2. The legendary Nokia Lumia brick 920. 4.5 inch phone bulkier than 5 inch phones, quite a feat.
3. Xperia Z ultra
4. Xperia Z1
5. Galaxy Mega 6.3
44. electrophage (Posts: 57; Member since: 17 Jun 2011)
Glad I bought the Mega 6.3. Bigger screen than the Note 3, and the Max but almost as light as the Note. Not quite as fast, but no operational effect from that. Guys here may hate plastic construction, but it is the best compromise. Who cares about "premium" feel, if it makes your phone a brick! No one uses them without a case any way

Traditional Colocation vs. Rackspace Managed Colocation
Colocation typically describes the provisioning of space for IT infrastructure and equipment on a service provider's premises. Business who choose colocation often do so to maintain the control of their operating systems but still have a need for the physical space in which to house their infrastructure.
Traditional Colocation: The Basics In a traditional colocation scenario, the vendor supplies:
- Physical space (floor space-cabinets or cages)
- Power to the cabinet/cages (conditioned power, battery backup, and backup power generators)
- Adequate cooling and redundancy
- Security (video surveillance, guard-monitored floor, and locked space)
- Fire suppression
Network Connection (some only allow for a set list of providers)
It should be noted that top tier colocation vendors also have options for additional services. (i.e, inventory space, access to multiple network providers, remote hand options). In traditional colocation, the customer also has a fair share of the responsibility. This includes:
- Procurement of the IT infrastructure, including receiving and installation via hardware reseller or vendor (Cisco, HP, Dell, etc.)
- Procurement of the network connectivity and installation into the cabinet or cage
- Monitoring of all systems 24x7x365
- Supporting, maintenance and replacement of all devices 24x7x365
- Planning and scaling the configuration when appropriate
- Management of staff and multiple vendors (colocation center, hardware provider, network provider)
It is also important to consider the hidden costs and non-operational activities in a traditional colocation scenario:
- Employee resources (management of staff dedicated to the hosting infrastructure; insurance; weekend, evening/overnight and holiday coverage; certifications and ongoing training)
- Management of vendor relationships
- Response to natural disasters
- Security and compliance requirements (SAS-70, HIPAA, PCI, etc.)
- Maintenance of depreciating assets
- Large capital expenditures with growth of business
- Slow implementation times
Managed Colocation from Rackspace
Because many businesses prefer to maintain a substantial level of control regarding their mission-critical apps, but don't want to be slowed by the complexity of managing a traditional colocation scenario, Rackspace offers Managed Colocation. Managed Colocation offers the best of both worlds: the desired level of control with the added benefit of a support team to proactively manage your config. Rackspace Managed Colocation is a level above traditional colocation, meaning it offers more support than pure colocation. Managed Colocation from Rackspace supplies:
- The physical space
- Power to the cabinet/cages (conditioned power, battery backup, and backup power generators) and network connection backed by a Service Level Agreement (SLA)
- Controlled environment (redundant cooling, fire suppression)
- Security (physical security, video surveillance, guard-monitored floor)
- Hardware for infrastructure
- Dedicated Support Team for maintenance and day-to-day operations
- Industry-leading SLAs
- Complete infrastructure and supply chain management
- Implementation and deployment capabilities
- Full customer remote management - customers don't need physical proximity to the datacenter but can still access even international datacenters
Optional services include management options for storage, Managed Backup, Managed Private Cloud, Dedicated Microsoft® Sharepoint and Microsoft Exchange Server - Dedicated solutions. Rackspace also offers on-demand Managed and Professional Services for customers with unique requirements. In a Managed Colocation solution, customer responsibilities include:

Customers who choose Managed Colocation typically do so because they want to maintain OS control but don't want to be bogged down with the day-to-day routine of server management. Managed Colocation from Rackspace offers a hosting solution that speaks to your desired level of control but creates a much more user-friendly experience compared to traditional colocation.

To the Editor.—Flat drains attached to a closed vacuum drainage system are commonly used after modified radical mastectomy to keep the skin flaps adherent to the chest wall and prevent the accumulation of blood, serum, and lymph fluid. Prior to 1980, we would place two 12-French red rubber catheter drains in the mastectomy field prior to closure, one in the medial and the other in the lateral portion of the wound. These drains were removed on the fifth postoperative day and the wound was managed by periodic aspiration with a 19-gauge needle and 50-cc syringe. Aspiration would be performed on every third day for several weeks until the wound was dry. Since 1980, we have been using the Heyer-Schulte 10-mm, Jackson-Pratt, flat, soft, plastic suction drains. We place two drains prior to skin closure, one in the medial portion and the other in the lateral portion of the wound.
