GIVEAWAY: Optimus G, PHOTON Q and Galaxy Victory for Sprint
0. phoneArena 30 Nov 2012, 07:49 posted on
It's almost time for holidays and we're already in the mood for presents! And this time, thanks to our partners from Sprint, we're giving not one, but a total of three wonderful smartphones: the LG Optimus G, Motorola PHOTON Q and Samsung Galaxy Victory! Actually, this will be just this week. The next one we'll be doing a second giveaway, once again with a unit of each of these three models; and the week after that, we'll be giving away these three, plus an LG Mach, which means that for these three weeks, we'll be presenting you with a total of 10 devices! Talk about a great start of the holiday season...

I am on Sprint and would DIE and go to heaven if I got an Optimus G. I've seen this phone in person and the most amazing thing to me about this phone is the speed and battery life. This is an absolutely beautiful phone I can only dream of having right now.

Battery Life. Technology is evolving and LG seems to be the ones always trying it out first. You have to enjoy that as tech lover.

I would say, reliable and 'decent speed' data connection....but I guess that's up to Sprint.
So I'll say, MVF for me is 'Screen Size' at #1, followed very closely by 'µSD Card Slot' at #1.25

The Modernist Imaginationby Peter E. Gordon Samuel Moyn A. Dirk Moses Warren Breckman
Some of the most exciting and innovative work in the humanities currently takes place at the intersection of intellectual history and critical theory. Just as critical theorists are becoming more aware of the historicity of theory, contemporary practitioners of modern intellectual history are recognizing their potential contributions to theoretical discourse. No one has done more than Martin Jay to realize the possibilities for mutual enrichment between intellectual history and critical theory. This carefully selected collection of essays addresses central questions and current practices of intellectual history and asks how the legacy of critical theory has influenced scholarship across a wide range of scholarly disciplines. In honor of Martin Jay's unparalleled achievements, this volume includes work from some of the most prominent contemporary scholars in the humanities and social sciences.
Weimar Thoughtby John P. Mccormick Peter E. Gordon
During its short lifespan, the Weimar Republic (1918-33) witnessed an unprecedented flowering of achievements in many areas, including psychology, political theory, physics, philosophy, literary and cultural criticism, and the arts. Leading intellectuals, scholars, and critics--such as Hannah Arendt, Walter Benjamin, Ernst Bloch, Bertolt Brecht, and Martin Heidegger--emerged during this time to become the foremost thinkers of the twentieth century. Even today, the Weimar era remains a vital resource for new intellectual movements. In this incomparable collection, Weimar Thought presents both the specialist and the general reader a comprehensive guide and unified portrait of the most important innovators, themes, and trends of this fascinating period. The book is divided into four thematic sections: law, politics, and society; philosophy, theology, and science; aesthetics, literature, and film; and general cultural and social themes of the Weimar period. The volume brings together established and emerging scholars from a remarkable array of fields, and each individual essay serves as an overview for a particular discipline while offering distinctive critical engagement with relevant problems and debates. Whether used as an introductory companion or advanced scholarly resource, Weimar Thought provides insight into the rich developments behind the intellectual foundations of modernity.

SAN DIEGO – Jeremy Affeldt told trainers that his strained oblique felt fine during a 30-pitch bullpen session on Saturday, increasing the likelihood that he will be activated from the disabled list when eligible on Tuesday.
Giants manager Bruce Bochy said Affeldt would throw another bullpen session, likely on Monday, then be reevaluated. The Giants will decide whether Affeldt requires one more session, this time facing hitters in a simulated game environment, or if he's deemed ready to return without taking that step.
It's not like the Giants have an obvious candidate to demote. Right-hander Jean Machi has allowed just one hit and no walks in three scoreless appearances spanning 3 2/3 innings. Machi replaced Affeldt on the roster and he does have a minor league option.
"You always hear that they're good decisions, and they are," Bochy said. "But they're tough decisions."
It's not likely but it's possible that if the Giants have to use a lot of pitching between now and Tuesday, they could demote catcher Hector Sanchez and go with a 13-man staff for a time. But the starters would have to work very short outings over the next couple days, and that's a scenario the Giants obviously do not prefer at all.
I also asked Bochy about another lefty reliever, Dan Runzler, who is throwing the absolute you-know-what out of the ball at Triple-A Fresno. After another scoreless inning Friday night, he has a 0.93 ERA and has held opponents to a .121 average in 10 appearances.
As you might recall, Runzler was incredibly upset when the Giants optioned him toward the end of the spring.
"He's throwing great. He's done a nice job," Bochy said. "Good for him, and that's where we want to get him. Hopefully he'll sustain this success for awhile and he'll force the issue."
Not much other pregame news, but Bochy did reiterate that first base is not a platoon between Brandon Belt and Joaquin Arias. Bochy said he only benched Belt against a couple lefties so he could give him a timeout and help him step back as he worked out of his struggles.
Belt is in there against Padres' lefty Eric Stults. He's 1 for 6 against him.
"He's had pretty good at-bats against lefties," Bochy said. He's our everyday first baseman and he's swinging the bat better. I'm not in a platoon here. I know his numbers don't dictate that he should start, but he's swinging better."
Maybe this will be a day for Buster Posey. The numbers dictate it might be, anyway. He's 5 for 10 with a homer and a double against Stults.

Ron Keel - METAL COWBOY
Ron Keel
There's something very unique about Ron Keel that I think has escaped most of his peers that were spawn from the 80s hair metal scene. For most, they have been content to stick to the formula that made them famous, only take an experimental shot once the mainstream popularity had run it's course, and then returned to their classic form to ride out their career. With Ron Keel, it's been a very different experiment which he has crafted into a career. As an artist, Keel is one of neverending experimentation. He's had hair metal albums, acoustic releases, country metal releases, and now more of a southern rock/metal record. METAL COWBOY seems to have a lot of people remembering Keel's project Iron Horse, but I'd say that is highly inaccurate. The "Metal Cowboy" is proving once again that he's more of a Metal Chameleon. Hard at times, bluesy in other parts and full of twists and turns, METAL COWBOY could very well be the best release Keel's had his name on since THE RIGHT TO ROCK.

So this one is AT&T, not Android.

My expectation is mainly based on the fact that these companies compete directly with Apple/iOS, and apparently are clueless as to what their competition does so much better than they do... make things JUST WORK and be as intuitive as possible.

Due to the fact that iOS apps only have to support about 5 devices, whereas there are hundreds if not thousands of Android devices, this will never be the case.Ā It is the price you pay for being a bit more open than Apple.

Hello again race fans. Tonight, Port Royal Speedway honors one of the all time greats.
Pete Swarmer did it all in Central Pennsylvania racing. Swarmer won six track championships at Port Royal Speedway. Four titles were won is sprint car action. The other two came in semi-late or late model racing. Swarmer was the franchise driver of his time. He was one of several professional drivers before it was the norm.
Swarmer would race where ever he could and also held down a full-time truck driving job as well. He, Eddie McCardle and others were key players in placing midstate racing on the map. Not only did they make their mark at Port Royal, but they also were key players in the creation of the Reedsville Speedway.
What was amazing in Swarmer's case was that he lost a leg as a result of a truck accident. Lesser men would have quit racing. Not Swarmer. Pete continued to race and won races and championships. He was my first favorite driver because he came from Ferguson Valley near Lewistown, where I grew up. In fact, Ferguson Valley and Strodes Mills were a hotbed of local racing.
Strodes Mills remains a hotbed to this day. The Penn Central Racing Association had many stars that came from Ferguson Valley, Strodes Mills, Burnham and the Dry Valley area. That group holds its reunion tonight at Port Royal. The number of members continue to dwindle due to their age. I would urge those of you that are interested in the history of local racing to come out early tonight to Port Royal Speedway and pay tribute to the cars and stars of yesteryear. They only have about 60 members and guests signed up for tonight and we should all appreciate them while we can. The Williams Grove Old Timers will have their restored race cars on display and they will receive track time to run them.
Bring along a camera to capture the moment. The reunion will be going on during the afternoon. Gates to the racetrack open at 5 p.m. In addition to the Penn Central/Williams Grove Old Timers deal at Port Royal tonight, there's sprint car, pro stock and enduro action starting at 7 p.m.
For the first time, there may not be a driver in action that raced against Pete Swarmer. Keith Kauffman was the last driver in the field to run against Swarmer. Kauffman did not race last weekend after a controversy of sorts.
I've chosen not to bother Kauffman this week and I'm sure he has had way more phone calls than he or his family care to answer. I have spoken to folks familiar with what's going on and they tell me Kauffman likely will not race this weekend. I have been told he and car owner Dave Middleswarth have spoken about Kauffman's status, and I notice that nothing has been removed from Kauffman's Web site concerning Middleswarth racing as this column was being prepared.
Chad Layton is reportedly driving the car on a week-to-week basis.
Since this is an opinion column I'm going to open my big mouth. Dave Middleswarth and Keith Kauffman are good guys. The race team has not been up to par. The car with Kauffman driving it doesn't handle. Period. Kauffman is driving around the bottom of turns one and two at Port Royal and is not fast. The car wobbles side to side in the turns and has a tendency to kick out exiting the corners. Kauffman is a Hall of Fame driver and still effective. He is not over the hill by any stretch. If he decides to race and changes rides, he will win races soon. He has earned and deserves the respect he should receive. If the current team and mechanics can't provide that or a competitive ride, for what ever reason, Kauffman should step a side until a situation arises under which he can be competitive. If he is going to continue with the current deal, changes have to happen to provide the environment that will allow he and his owner to enjoy the success they have had in the past.
Otherwise, it's time to change deals. Enough said.
The late models start their first ever Appalachian Late Model Speedweek Series tonight at Hagerstown Speedway. The series travels to Selinsgrove Sunday before moving to Winchester, Va. Tuesday, Williams Grove hosts the action. Lincoln has the Wednesday show and Port Royal will run Thursday. Bedford Speedway closes things out next Friday.
The Port Royal late model speedweek show includes a visit by the limited late models. The late model feature will be 40 laps and pays the winner $5,000. Who is going to run this speedweek series? The best late model drivers in the area and some of the national stars. York's Rick Eckert, who is a World of Outlaws late model regular, will race in all seven shows. So will "Kid Rocket," Josh Richards, Chub Frank, Steve "the Kentucky Colonel" Francis, Ricky Elliott, Tim Fuller, Gary Stuhler, Jason Covert and Nick Dickson. Jack Pencil will try and compete in as many as possible. Couple that with all the regulars and there should be a great field of late models. There also is a good chance that drivers that are racing the Dream at Eldora will head east as well. This series will be the biggest thing local late model racing has ever seen.
Congratulations go out to Port Royal's young Dylan Cisney on winning the super sportsman feature at Williams Grove Speedway May 30. There have been nine sportsman races run so far this season. Nine different drivers have won the events. That's what I call competition.
The United Racing Club is in action at Selinsgrove Speedway tonight for the annual running of the Jack Gunn Memorial Challenge race. The pro stocks are also part of the show. Action starts at 7.
There was good news about the Snyder County oval reported this week - The Daily Item states that promoter Charlie Paige is about to sign a new five-year deal with the track's owner, and that it contains an option for another five. Just three years ago, there was talk of selling the speedway, and now it seems racing will be there through 2020.
Pat Cannon has returned to 358 competition after his stint in the Keen Racing no. 17 sprint car. Cannon wasted no time and won the 358 feature at Selinsgrove last Saturday. As for the Keen car, Daryn Pittman has taken over the driving chores.
Last weeks late model feature at Port Royal was something else. Waylon Wagner did a great job and won the feature for the second week in a row. Tim "Terrific" Wilson raced from 16TH starting position to finish third. Congratulations to both of these Mifflin County drivers.
Late Model racer Tyler Hershey has come a long way. Hershey is running well each week at Bedford and Port Royal speedways. Hershey will attempt to run in six out of seven late model speedweek shows. He will miss the Bedford finale. Why? Hershey graduates from high school that evening.
Speaking of youngsters, I was shocked when I called Lincoln Speedway last Saturday to find out who won the sprint car feature. Cody Darrah was the winner. That's not a big shock. Darrah is a 19-year-old star. Danny Dietrich (age 22) and Brent Marks (age 18) were second and third. I wouldn't have guessed that.
In the world of NASCAR, Jeremy Mayfield has sued NASCAR, challenging the indefinite suspension over a failed drug test. Mayfield's attorneys were told by NASCAR that Mayfield tested positive for amphetamines. Mayfield said he was taking Adderall for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Claritin-D for allergies. Apparently two samples were collected and permission was not given by Mayfield to have the second sample tested. I don't know exactly what that means except that Mayfield's rights may have been violated. NASCAR held a Town Hall drivers meeting to clarify the situation with drivers. They also discussed the COT and how to make it better.
The Cup cars are in our home state this week end at Pocono. Kasey Kahne is the defending race champion. TNT has TV coverage Sunday starting at 12:30 p.m. Coverage is scheduled to last until 6 p.m. The race starts at 2.
Jimmie Johnson is fresh off a win last week at Dover. Tony Stewart is on top of Cup points.
Until next week, please drive safely!

My First Josh Concert
Concert Date: Oct 28, 2011 I did not find out about Josh touring in Tampa until a few months ago. Unfortunately, this meant I had to buy my ticket through a 2nd market as opposed to the St. Pete Times Forum boxoffice. I bought one lonely ticket. All my friends were headed to Orlando for a Sci Fi convention to see Sir Patrick Stewart, Captain Picard of Star Trek the Next Generation, so I had no one to go with me. But I did not let that stop me. Hearing Josh sing live is a bucket list event...
Memorable night
The last time Josh Groban came to Tampa was 6 years ago. I remember it well because I went to the concert just 2 weeks after my daughter was born. My mom and I were very excited for the long awaited return to Florida. The staff at the St. Pete Times Forum were awesome. There was someone every step of the way to help direct us. We met some very nice Grobies - 2 of which were the lucky M&G winners. It was exciting to hear that Chris Groban was backstage. Hopeful for a tour documentary...
My First Time
Cannot believe it! Finally, after soooooo long! I will be going to a Josh Groban concert! (that is, IF the presale code shows up on my profile, and IF I get on in time to buy a ticket...) So I really have no concert story to tell yet....but at least it is now something tangible (in a way).... This being my 'first time' and all, any advice from you expert JG concert-goers will be greatly appreciated! And, I'll be going by myself, so I'll need a lot of help from those who know!!!

This will be my third Concert with Josh. each one is more magical then the last...cant wait!! its like xmas morning!!!!
TJORGENSEN84, how did you find out you won the lottery drawing? Do you know who else won?
To say that this concert held in the St Pete's Time Forum, Tampa on the 28 of October was an "Affair to Remember" is putting it lightly. The night was rainy, the hospitality warm and the crowd an eclectic mixture of all ages with one thing in common, love for Josh Groban's music and his easy and humble style of performance which has grown to sincere professionalism over the years. This young man is at his best on stage and has a unique and winning way of reaching out to his audience in an intimate and classic style. With a voice that allows one's soul to ascend to the heavens, Josh is always eager to please, and please he certainly does!
Groban hit the deck running from the back of the theater to an island stage which indeed seemed to be floating above the audience and was situated mid theater. There he performed three songs beginning with the gorgeous "You Are Loved" followed by "February Song". Also done mid theater was his song ""The Wandering Kind", which Groban actually wrote at the age of 12. Proceeding to front stage, up the steps he ran, grabbed a microphone and began singing in a show that lasted more than two hours. Beautiful piano solos included his extraordinary tribute to his new home in New York City, "The Bells of New York City". This piece was performed with the back drop of the Brooklyn Bridge, as well as brick walls and stone streets which remained behind Josh throughout the entire concert. A rousing rendition of the Herbie Hancock "Machine" got the crowd on their feet as Josh jived and set the hearts of all of his fans on edge and me wondering how much of this song was the true life of so many successful performers in the world today.
Anyone who has ever had the pleasure of watching a Josh Groban concert is familiar with his musical director, Tarigh Akoni, genius on the classical guitar and top of the line showman in his own right. (btw, loved the little dance done by Tarigh and bassist, Andre Manga. They were clearly having fun!) Selected from his larger orchestra were Tim Crow on percussions, Mark Stevens, funky keyboard, Gary Novak and Andre Manga, as well as a combination of 4 string instruments and French horns which added a rich and sad addition to Josh's piano and voice in his touching ""War at Home," as well as ""Broken Vow," where the resonating French horn was played directly stage right and on top of the front row.
Genius was the fact that Josh Groban incorporated people of all ages in his concert show. He introduced a nine year old little girl, spoke with her, a single woman, and a couple who had been married for over fifty years and brought them all up on stage for wine and milk. Everyone in this particular scenario was perfectly at home as if they were sitting in Josh's living room enjoying a great concert while we all sat, mouths open and giggling at the entire scenario.
I loved this concert, every single moment of it. Although Groban was fresh off a European Tour, he was pitch perfect and fun! It is always a pleasure for me to review this musical genius, and my favorite song? Well, "Per Te" of course.

The listing said that it was giving a hard drive error. When I got it there was no hard drive at all.
This Xbox is modded on the front. This unit powers on, and does display, however it displays that there is an HDD error.
I have never in my life messed with a mod chip. I have flashed a fair few TSOP chips and rocked dozens of soft mods. I looked inside and it appears to have everything installed correctly. (judging from installation tutorials and images I have seen) Emphasis on "appears"...
However, there is a small plug hanging out of the left front of the case that has 5 pins.(sorry, it's white...just a little dirty)
When I turn it on, sometimes, it 3x boot frag. Most of the time it goes through the flubber animation before it displays an error. I expect it to frag due to no hard drive... I put an original 8GB hard drive in it that I had left over from a TSOP flashed HDD upgrade. I know that it wont do anything because it doesnt match the eeprom, but I was looking for it to tell me something more about the error. That's the thing though... It never tells me what error, just says that I need to contact microsoft blah blah blah.
The light under the chip is red, then after the flubber it turns blue. There is a blue light on one of the components that stays on until the caps discharge.
I have not removed the chip, I have not taken the mobo out because I dont want to disturb any of the components... I want to be as careful as I can with this because it's my first one. (chipped xbox)
The motherboard/PSU is a 1.0
The DVD drive is a Sammy Ver. A
It didn't come with a hard drive.. but I have a few stock drives and an 80GB that I can drop in if I need to. I know how to read the eeprom and build a new hard drive from scratch. I have not tried to boot it with a DVD in. I have both the Hexen Disk and Slayers Disk.
What do you guys think?
Did I waste my money?
Is this sort of thing fixable?
What can I do to try and get this thing running?
Remember, as I said before... this is the very first time I have ever messed with a mod chip. I am a 100% mod chip n00b.
Forgot to mention, the LCD back light never comes on..

A powerful earthquake across the Himalayan region straddling India, Nepal and China killed at least 55 people when it struck Sunday night.
The 6.9 magnitude quake also damaged more than 100,000 homes in the area.
The epicenter was in India's Sikkim state near borders with Nepal and China's Tibet region, but the shaking was felt across northern and eastern India and to the south in Bangladesh.
TV news broadcasts showed footage of buildings buckled, sidewalks cracked and two major roads collapsed in Gangtok, 42 miles southeast of the quake's epicenter.
Rescue workers were trying reach remote villages cut off by the quake to ascertain the damage.
Initial reports say three emergency workers were killed in the frantic, rain-soaked rescue effort.
More than 6,000 troops worked to clear concrete slabs, bricks and mud to rescue scores of people trapped under houses that collapsed.
Nine helicopters dropped food to villages, airlifted a medical team, evacuated the injured and conducted damage assessments, Indian Home Secretary R.K. Singh said. Heavy construction equipment was used to clear some of the blocked roads, he said.
"The rescue and relief operations are in full swing though they were hampered. by poor weather," Singh said.
Since the initial quake, there have been at least two sizable aftershocks. Seismology experts are warning residents that more are possible.

A long history of success in keyboard studies at Millsaps was established by Dr. Jonathan Sweat, who during his tenure at Millsaps maintained a department with an enviable reputation for high performance standards. Our current conservatory-trained keyboard faculty continues this tradition with the understanding that our young artist-musicians must value a rigorous yet well-rounded education.
In keeping with Millsaps College's liberal arts emphasis, we offer music scholarships to both music majors and non-majors. An excellent student-to-faculty ratio allows for personalized attention and study with a highly qualified faculty, all of whom are active and experienced performers.
Studies in piano or organ are available for all students with beginner piano classes for those students who have had little or no background in music, and private studio lessons for intermediate and advanced level students. Learn more about standards for piano performance (PDF) at Millsaps.
The music facilities at Millsaps are excellent, with Steinway and Boston grand pianos in most of the practice rooms, and two Steinway D concert grand pianos and a 41-rank Möeller pipe organ in the recital hall. In addition there are two excellent practice pipe organs and a 9-station piano lab for class piano study.
Our attractive campus is set in an urban center with an array of cultural offerings, from the Mississippi Symphony Orchestra, Mississippi Opera, and New Stage Theatre to the quadrennial USA International Ballet Competition. The Bell Piano Concert Series at Millsaps offers recitals and concerts by nationally and internationally known pianists.
Students have regular opportunities to perform in masterclasses for guest artists. Recent guest pianists who have visited the campus include Robert Taub, Lambert Orkis, Constance Carroll, Melvin Chen, Angela Cheng, John Salmon, Alon Goldstein, Anton Nel, William Westney, Nelita True, Joel Sachs, and Cheryl Seltzer; plus jazz pianists Cyrus Chestnut, Orrin Evans, Willis Delony, and Stanley Cowell; and young prizewinners Esther Park, Konstantyn Travinskyy, Tatiana Tessman, Anna Bulkina, and Yoonjung Han.
The keyboard faculty strives to help our developing musicians perform at every opportunity, through appearances on campus (studio repertoire classes, departmental recitals, voice lesson accompaniments, chapel services, etc.) and in competitions through our local, state, national, and international professional musical organizations.
Over the years, Millsaps pianists have been quite successful in annual collegiate competition sponsored by MMTA, capturing awards in Freshman/Sophomore Solo Piano, Junior/Senior Solo Piano, and Concerto categories and the MTNA Young Artists National Piano Competition, every year since 2006:

text: unsigned int fact(unsigned int n) { unsigned int result = 1; unsigned int i; for (i=1; i<=n; ++i) result *= i; return result; }Lemma. For any n, the body of the loop will be executed exactly n times, with i taking the values 1,2,...,n. Proof. Trivial. (Note that the increment of i cannot wrap around.) Wrong: The increment of i CAN wrap around. If n == UINT_MAX, then i <= n is always true. In this special case, i will wrap around again and again, and the loop will never end. How to correct this error is left as an exercise for the reader. Theorem. For any n, the value returned from fact(n) is congruent modulo M to the factorial of n, where M-1 is the largest number represented by the unsigned int type. Proof. Trivial, given the lemma and the fact that arithmetic operations on unsigned int are required by the standard to return values congruent modulo M to their "pure mathematical" values. There are some things that are pretty "unquantifiable"; for instance, anything that depends on the amount of memory you have available. Even in those cases, though, it's possible to give guarantees of the form "The program will either terminate abnormally or give the right answer", if the program is carefully enough written. Of course, giving a formal correctness proof for any practical program would be a terribly arduous undertaking. But nothing in the design of (the better-specified) existing languages makes it impossible to write provably correct programs. Am I missing something? -- GarethMcCaughan

Duct tape covered cracks in the mirror of the men's bathroom at New York Penn Station. One of the soap dispensers was missing, and the water didn't flow at the wash basins.
The women's lavatory was no better, as duct tape held up the toilet paper dispenser this week, and it was pot luck trying to find a faucet that worked.
The problems were first brought to the attention of NJ Transit administrators last month by Albert Papp Jr, president of the New Jersey Association of Railroad Passengers.
NJ Transit Executive Director Jim Weinstein and state Transportation Commissioner Jim Simpson were red-faced — with both anger and embarrassment — to learn from Papp Thursday that the same problems persisted this week.
"It's embarrassing that we have to have a constituent come back a month later, and we can't seem to fix the toilet paper or the bathroom," said Simpson, who chairs the NJ Transit board of directors. "And if we can't do that, there's no hope for the rest of the system."
"I apologize, we're embarrassed and Mr. Papp will not have to make this speech again," Weinstein vowed Thursday during the monthly meeting of NJ Transit's board of directors.
Amtrak owns the Midtown Manhattan train station — the busiest in America — but the bathrooms Papp and his family visited on Wednesday were in NJ Transit's concourse and are the responsibility of New Jersey's statewide transportation agency.
After he was told NJ Transit uses a "third party" to maintain the bathrooms, Simpson replied, "Well, fire the third party. Tell the third party if this happens again — can them and find somebody else."
"This management team here is really good — I'm sure the message got out and somebody dropped the ball," he added. "But still, that doesn't relieve us of the obligations. Somebody from Transit management should have been there to take a look at it beforehand and somebody should have been there afterwards to see — before we had this board meeting — that it was fixed."
Papp's family found that when it came to the men's and women's bathrooms, they were equal opportunity offenders.
"The tissue dispenser in one of the female stalls was held up by duct tape," Albert Papp said. "We decided to memorialize that in film."
Last month, NJ Transit announced that it has teamed with Cablevision to offer wireless internet access on the trains.
"While you can go ahead and put Wi-Fi in the trains for the thumb people, it would help if some of the basic necessities of the human individual are attended to," Papp said.
He added that the condition of the restrooms in New York Penn Station "give new meaning to the NJ Transit motto, 'The Way to Go.'"
Told that NJ Transit has a person responsible for maintenance of the concourse, passenger Sheila Long said, "I think he's in Dunkin' Donuts."

It's the colors, many of them bright and smacking of spring attire, that catch the eye as one approaches Maurices, a newly opened women's store at the Lycoming Mall.
"Our target customer is a twenty-something woman," said shop manager Jessica Thomas. "We are known for being a small town specialty store."
On March 29 the store held its grand opening.

Racks of clothes in the Lycoming Mall's new clothing store for women, Maurice's.
It represented a sort of homecoming for the shop, which had been in the mall for a brief time a number of years ago.
Now, Thomas is hoping the business finds itself a customer base here in Lycoming County.
"We are excited to be back at the mall," she said.
Fact Box
Lycoming Mall
Mon. to Sat. - 10 a.m.

Sun. - 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Thomas said the store offers casual wear and other women's clothing, as well as accessories such as handbags, belts, jewelry, scarves, sunglasses and even cosmetics.
"We carry a lot of spring dresses," she said. "We carry clothing appropriate for work."
A customer familiar with Maurices comes for different reasons. Thomas calls the store a great place to shop for casual wear for vacations.
"They know we have a great selection," she said. She likens the customer experience to that of shopping with a girlfriend. "We have casual, dressy and accessories, pretty much head to toe outfitting," she said. "We do carry Silver jeans."
And, she said shoppers can take advantage of good prices, adding that she feels what really sets the shop apart is its customer service. "Our customer philosophy is to create an unforgettable experience that leaves you feeling your best," she said.
The store employs eight people.
Although many young women may find Maurices to their satisfaction, older shoppers won't go away disappointed, Thomas said.
The store carries a wide range in sizes of clothing.
She refers to one of the shop's catch phrases: "Fashion Among Girlfriends."
Maurices, part of the Ascena Retail Group Inc., originated in 1931 when E. Maurice Labovitz opened a single store in Duluth, Minn. It has grown nationwide to more than 750 stores in 44 states.

OKLAHOMA CITY — Russell Westbrook had 40 points and 10 assists, and the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the San Antonio Spurs, 105-92, on Tuesday night to tie the Western Conference finals at two games apiece.
It matched the second-highest playoff point total of Westbrook's career, falling short of the 43 he scored in the 2012 NBA Finals. He also had five rebounds and five steals.
"I think I did all right. Coming out with a win is most important," Westbrook said. "I just try to come out and give maximum effort. My teammates ask that of me and that's what I try to do on both ends of the floor."
Kevin Durant added 31 points on 11-for-22 shooting. It was his highest-scoring game of the series after the NBA's leading scorer was held to a 22.7-point average in the first three games. Serge Ibaka added nine points and eight rebounds for the Thunder, who have turned around the series since he returned from an injury that was expected to keep him out for the rest of the postseason.
Boris Diaw had 14 points and 10 rebounds for the Spurs.

Wide-Field Camera 3 (WFC3), a panchromatic imager being developed for the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), is now fully integrated and over the past 9 months has completed first rounds of extensive ground testing at Goddard Space Flight Center, in both ambient and thermal-vacuum test environments. The thermal-vacuum testing marks the first time that both of the WFC3's UV/Visible and IR channels have undergone testing and characterization in flight-like operating conditions. A full suite of calibration tests have been performed, including dark current, read noise, flatfield, detector gain, linearity, system throughput, encircled energy, grism dispersion, and IR thermal background measurements. This report summarizes the results of these tests and their implications for the on-orbit scientific performance of WFC3.

"Scrooge's Christmas Tea" is set for Sunday, Dec.15 from 4 to 8 p.m. Pamela Ward and the Art and Soul Players will create an elegant Christmas tea and entertain the audience with a live rendition of the Charles Dickens classic, A Christmas Carol.
The evening will conclude with a torch lit boat ride on the swamp.

The project team has decided that the best approach for placing concrete on the project would be pumping. The complexity of the concrete and formwork and the accessibility issues to many portions of the project made pumping a better alternative than hook and bucket.

The thesis is the result of an exploratory study on so-called atheist or secularist organizations. Even though these associations have existed in Germany as well as in the United States in their current form since the second half of the past century, they have been notably under-researched both by the sociology of religion and by the sociology of social movements. Their aim is, on the one hand, to provide nonreligious persons a community of like-minded people and, on the other, to take action for the separation of church and state and for legal rights of nonreligious and religiously unaffiliated citizens. The literary and media phenomenon of new atheism has increased attention for the atheist or secular parts of Western populations in general. This study, though, deals with the much smaller group of organized atheists and asks: who are the members of a certain kind of atheist and secularist organizations in Germany and the United States?
It is also argued that the organizations under consideration are part of a wider social movement of freethought and secularism. Criteria for the identification of a social movement - such as the existence of a network of individual and collective actors who share a common identity and who are involved in a political or cultural conflict via non-institutionalized means - are met. In that context the landscape(s) of freethought-secularist organizations and associations in the two countries and their historical developments are documented comprehensively. After an overview of the existent research on organized atheism and of theoretical explanations for participation in social movements, which served as sensitizing concepts, the delineation of the study and the account of its results ensue.
The data in this study are qualitative interviews which were conducted with roughly sixty members of six local atheist organizations in Germany (two organizations) and the United States (four organizations). They served as basis for the construction of a typology of these organizations membership. Firstly, the wide range of positions and experiences of the members regarding their religious / nonreligious backgrounds and biographies, regarding the process of joining, and regarding their activities in the organizations are explored. Secondly, in an effort to reduce the variety of cases that has become apparent at that point, eight characteristic types of members are identified on the basis of certain recurring narrative and action patterns (motives): The motive of political conflict unites the Political Fighter and the Indignant, the motive of belonging unites the Collectivist and the Alienated, the motive of philosophical and religious knowledge unites the Intellectual Enlightener and the Silent Intellectual, while finally the motive of identification with the organization is central to the Dissociate as well as to the Euphoric. These types show the face of organized atheism to be very diverse and to be much more than and different from the caricature of militant atheists that has dominated public perception of the movement in recent years (in much of whatever little notice it has received).

This is the first part of a two-part interview with Newsviner CartoonCat, author of the book Planet Germany
I have a standing offer for all Newsviners: Send me a book, cd, dvd, you made and I'll do an interview with you about it, which helps promote and publicize your product while giving me and those reading it the chance to get to know you better in the process.
Last week, for example, I published the first part of my interview with Pamela Drew about her dvd about GMO's.
I actually had no idea what CartoonCat's book was about when I agreed to do the interview about it. Only last week did I get around to reading Rebecca's review of it.
So CartoonCat doesn't yet know of an odd coincidence of the it's-a-small-world variety, namely the city where I live (Hagerstown, Md.) has a sister city which is… you guessed it… in Germany. Wesel, Germany, to be specific. Also, I'm part German. So I may have more connections to this book than CartoonCat initially anticipated.
With that, let's get this interview going.
Scott: Let's start with something you said via email:
"I don't have a blog (actually the book came about because I'd been about to start a blog... and then I realised that what I wanted to write was a book - maybe that's why the book is split into little anecdotes which are all about the size of blog entries...)"
Can you elaborate?
It was 2004 and I'd just started to discover online communities. I started posting little snippets and anecdotes about quirky things that happened in Germany - and I got a lot of great feedback from other community members. A recurring theme was either "You should write a blog" or "You should write a book." Initially I thought a blog would be less daunting. But as I thought about it more, I realised it was a book I wanted to write. I wanted something I could hold in my hand. Turn the pages. I wanted people to read it and re-read it.... not just have to search back through google to find a particular entry...on its own... out of context....
So a book it was.
Scott:What is Planet Germany about? Did I miss a news story and Germany became a planet?
Actually it wouldn't surprise me. (But I missed that story too... Newsvine obviously didn't give it front page coverage)
But if you land here...on Planet Germany during, say, Karneval...you wouldn't necessarily recognise it as Planet Earth. Those tedious straight-laced Germans we all know about - you know, the ones with no sense of humour, who don't know how to enjoy themselves.... well they all get up in fancy-dress costumes and hold a week-long street party involving quantities of alcohol which would keep a small Balkan state supplied for a year. Not only that they forcibly eject the Burgermeister (mayor) from his Town Hall, snip off his tie (that's symbolic for emasculation - yes I know, I know, too much information...), and the clowns and jokers take over government....
(Hmmm... now I mention it, maybe it's not that different from Planet Earth after all....)
Scott:What made you decide to write the book?
Living in another culture is a fabulous and unique experience. Unique in the sense that nobody else experiences it quite the way you do.
I have three kids who are growing up in Germany - and were under the impression that this culture is normal. I wanted mainly to write it for them - to show them through a different perspective, how all the incidents and adventures we've had, which are their "normality" are actually weird and wonderful to some people - including their mother!
We had a great time over the many months when I was writing. I used to read out bits of what I'd written to the kids - and they'd fall over laughing and say: "I never saw it that way before!" It really brought us together as a family - and made us talk a lot about experiences we'd shared. I mean talk on a different level... about things like, "What's really bizarre about going to the supermarket...." In "normal life" you don't even talk about those things - they're like life's wallpaper. And suddenly you start to see everything a little differently. Life has a whole new texture....
Scott: What were your goals with this book? Did you accomplish it?
What I wanted to achieve was a picture of life, our life, over one year which happened to be quite a seminal year for many of us. I was starting a new business, two of my kids were changing school. We were all growing and experiencing some important personal milestones.
There are some messages in the book - about culture clashes and how we relate to and accommodate each other's cultures - but the primary aim is to entertain. We enjoy our life here. I mean...we really laugh a lot. Lots of funny things happen to us - and they are stories which we regale each other with daily. Those stories are the mainstay of the book.
Scott:When did it come out?
The book came out in November 2007 (according to the publisher), though I only found it on Amazon and got my first copy on December 1. So that's "my" publication date.
Scott: How has it been received?
The last month - ever since the book came out - has been absolutely amazing. I've never experienced anything like it. I've been contacted by all sorts of people I don't know (but who seem to think they know me pretty intimately). I've been blogged about by people I've never heard of! Like this: Unbelievable! An indonesian woman living in Cologne has bought my book and blogged about it! How cool is that?
I've had all sorts of reviews (you've probably only seen the ones on Amazon US - but take a look at Amazon.co.uk - amazing!) and I've just been interviewed by one of the mainstream UK newspapers (The Telegraph) - the review will probably be in February or March, though - apparently there's a backlog.
What's really peculiar is that a lot of people who write to me after they've read Planet Germany, tell me which was their favourite bit in the book. And so far (out of about 15 people) only two had the same story which was their favourite. Oddly enough, it was the Oily Cat incident - which I nearly left out anyway as it wasn't particularly related to culture-clashes and integration.
Scott: What do you do besides Newsvine and writing a book? Do you work? What kind of work?
I have my own consulting business, which I run from a pigsty along with my German business partner.
Scott: You said in your email to me that you like to travel – what is it about traveling that you like?
Actually, I take it back. I hate travelling. I hate airports, trains, queues, document checks, petty dictators in peaked caps and not being able to find a vacant toilet. OK - I've got that off my chest.
What I do like is living in another culture. Before Germany I previously lived in the Netherlands and Belgium. And I fancy trying another country in a few years. Maybe Italy or France - I'd like to go somewhere with warmer weather for a change.
I like really getting under the skin of other cultures. Trying to integrate - trying to see beyond the initial irritations ("I can't make this work, I don't know what to do, how do I get the right documents" etc.) and understand the philosophy, the humanity, the humour of everyday situations as well as the extraordinary events which make life memorable.
You can only do that, though, if you are prepared to recognise your own failings, accept that your own culture may be inferior in some (or even all aspects), and that the only thing you can do to save your dignity is laugh heartily at yourself.
Scott: Often authors are asked if the characters in their books are based on real people but you say the opposite, if I understand your email right? Can you explain? And real cats too?
Yes, the characters are based on real people, but they each have a particular role to play in the book. As a result, certain character traits are exaggerated, others are suppressed, so they no longer bear a close resemblance to the individuals who inspired them. This is particularly true of Birgit, my business partner, whose role in the book is to disapprove of everything English. Actually, the real life woman is a lovely tolerant Anglophile lady with a balanced and rounded personality (OK - most days she is....). But the book wouldn't be funny if I'd portrayed that side of her.
The cats are very real, and all the incidents relating to them actually happened (I even used their real names). The white cat, Constantine, says he's never helping me research a book again after the oil incident.
Scott: What are you working on next?
Ooooh! The squillion dollar question!
I have three ideas at the moment. One's a thriller. A completely different genre altogether - and I've got a great plot idea (but I can't tell... it would spoil the ending already!). And there are two potential "Planet Germany" offshoots. I'd love to write something covering the subsequent period - including the World Cup in Germany which was an absolutely fabulous and magical event for us... a whole summer long. The other is a Prequel - when we first lived in North Rhine Westfalia we were living in a bizarre and very quirky community which for years we said someone should turn into a book or a soap opera - it's just that such odd things happened that we thought nobody would ever believe it. One day... I will have to tell that story.

We're less than a month out from the start of the Florida Strawberry Festival.
The annual 11-day event brings roughly a half a million people to Plant City to celebrate all things Americana.
Aside from the famous St. Clement Catholic Church's "Make Your Own" strawberry shortcake booth, the flea market-style vendors and the rides of the midway, the festival is highlighted by daily concerts.
This year's concert lineup once again is a mix of country and retro artists, with a few Christian acts sprinkled in.
Some regulars returning include country artists Trace Adkins and Martina McBride and Christian rock band Casting...

I've seen AR15 uppers for 6.5mm, 6.8mm and 50 beuwolf. Are these directly interchangable with an AR15 lower? What about magazines, will they all fit in the lower mag well? I'm thinking about trying out another caliber and was wondering if any of you had tried these combinations and what your results were. I know 7.62 x 39 is also another option as well. Any problems with any of them or just stick with the vanilla 5.56?

MERRILEES, Brian Stuart
DUP, MA(Hons) (NZ), BA (NZ), FRSC., Emeritus professor of French, and holder of many successive administrative positions at the University of Toronto, aged 74
On the evening of Friday, September 6, 2013, Brian died peacefully, in his sleep, after a series of medical setbacks. Brian reluctantly left behind the libraries and dark-stroked scripts of his passion, medieval texts, the classrooms of his calling, the athletic fields and golf courses of his sporting life, and the beaches, hills and tussocks of his native New Zealand. But most of all he left behind his beloved family: Pat, his partner of forty-nine years; daughters Elizabeth and Katherine and their wonderful husbands Rob Emlay and Howard Tattum; and the grandsons on whom he doted, Logan, Lucas, Owain and Morgan. He will also be greatly missed by his siblings Graeme, Mervyn and Barbara, and their families, and the Williams families. His good cheer will be missed by his colleagues at the University of Toronto and in Québec, the UK, France, New Zealand and the USA, former students, many neighbours, golfing and running partners and near and newly-discovered distant relatives, all of whom he made into friends with his talents of inclusiveness, generosity and great love of people. A private gathering was held, before cremation. A public remembrance of Brian will take place at Victoria College, UofT at a date to be announced. If desired, donations may be made to the University of Toronto Athletic Department or to Plan Canada's If I Were A Girl Campaign. Condolences and memories may be forwarded through www.humphreymiles.com.

Be Your Own Designer - The Best Free Resources for when You're Short on Time
Has there ever been a time when you've realised you're a day away from a big pitch, but you forgot to book any design time through your creative department? Or perhaps there's that last minute blog post that needs some images and banners, but there's no way of roping in a designer at such short notice! It's easy to become reliant when you have a Design team at the ready, but when push comes to shove, slightly unwillingly, you sometimes have to don that faux-designer's hat. The trouble is, where do you even begin? To help you out in such hours of need, I have compiled a list of my favourite design resources for non-designers and designers alike. Oh, and did I mention they're all free?
Just a quick disclaimer: this isn't Graphic Design 101 (I'm definitely not ready to declare myself redundant as a designer at Distilled). Instead, think of this as more of a design directory if you will. Whether you're after a nice font to spruce up your Word doc or you really need some images to dress that presentation to impress, if you're going to find a fast, free solution anywhere, start here.

Free Advertising with Comment Campaigns
Advertising is just as important for big companies as it is for blogs and small websites. One of the best ways to garner free advertising is with large scale comment campaigns, and there are several ways to accomplish this.
The most popular method for starting a comment campaign is seeking out blogs, or websites that accept comments, and finding out how popular they are based on daily hits or users who subscribe to their feeds. These types of blogs and sites reach the most people and are therefore very popular with people implementing a comment campaign. Once the sites have been chosen, someone then needs to visit the site on a regular basis and comment on new material. This serves two purposes. First, once you begin to regularly provide thoughtful comments on the site, the owner is likely to visit your site to find out more about you or your company. Second, if the visitors to that blog or website like what you have to say they may also visit your home on the Internet.
The second method involves finding blogs and other websites that have content similar to yours. They may or may not have a high readership but the readers they do have will likely be interested in what you have to say. The same benefits as above apply in that with thoughtful comments you are more likely to bring in new readers to your website.
When first implementing a comment campaign it is important to make sure the content on your own site is fresh and engaging.This will give visitors a better impression when they come to learn more about the person leaving the interesting comments on other sites. Additionally, once you begin commenting on other sites others will likely begin commenting on yours as well, especially if you have a do follow policy. Be sure to respond to all comments that are left on your site and to visit the site of anyone who comments. This will help create a commenting community that will endure long after the initial comment.
Just be sure that your comments are relevant and not spammy or obnoxious – that won't build any relationships; it will turn people away from your company. We at Quality Logo Products pride ourselves in our promotional item expertise, but we also love to blog! Thanks for reading our blog posts. Interact with us by posting your comments and concerns below, and we'll reply back to you!

Thanks so much for the great post. I've been searching for blogs like this now for 30 minutes and i finally found one that's worthwhile.
Pretty nice blog you've got here. I like any topics connected to this subject!
Extremely interesting article. Thanx!
Damn, pretty great topic.
Natasha Meetington
Thanks for this intresting article. I definitely want to read a bit more soon.

Looking to boost rating and skew to a younger audience, CBS relaunched its "Early Show" with a colorful new widescreen set on Monday, Jan. 7, that features mood lighting and open spaces for unobstructed interaction between the different on-air talent.
The new set, designed by James Fenhagen (production designer), Larry Hartman (art director), of New York-based Production Design Group (PDG), was constructed in one month's time, which kept crews working around the clock, right through the holidays.
This included knocking down a wall separating the existing Studio A and B (former home of WCBS newscasts and, later, previous "Early Show" cooking segments) to create 5100sq-ft of studio space, which in turn necessitated a significant amount of new power wiring and video cable runs.
According to Frank Governale, vice president of operations, the set includes dozens of LCD and plasma displays and LED light boxes, with more than 500 DMX channels allocated solely to the fixtures. "All of the displays are RGB, so we can control each one of those squares," Governale said. "Every square can be a different color and individually shaded to create a specific mood."
Leveraging existing Sony F900 series HD cameras and the same control room (with a Sony HD switcher), the lighting in the studio was mounted higher on the grid than usual, which helps illuminate wide staging areas and give the illusion of a large, spacious set.
"A lot more attention was paid to the lighting design than in the past," Governale said. "We don't just use flood lights anymore."
The floor of the studio has been releveled and painted to look like wood. The same control room is used, although a number of new DDRs have been added to handle the increased amount of monitors on-set. The new set also includes two 103in Panasonic plasma displays as main backdrops, and about a dozen other displays.
