Many people who have a difficult time expressing and managing angry feelings. What causes people to become angry? How can they respond to stressful situations more productively?
Many people think that anger is caused by hormonal changes or brain activity. This is only partly true. Researchers have found that while hormones play a role in an angry response, there is always a cognitive (thinking) component.
Some people think that humans are innately aggressive or warlike. While our behavior is sometimes hostile toward others, anger is not part of our basic nature.
Frustration may lead to aggression, but it is not inevitable. Some people respond to frustrating events with anger, while others don't. Anger is only one response to frustration. In many cultures, people are taught to respond to frustration in other ways.
Since Freud's day, psychologists have disagreed about the value of venting feelings. It may surprise you to know that today's research shows that expressing anger often results in more irritation and tension rather than feeling more calm.
Giving vent to anger can produce the following kinds of harmful effects:
Your blood pressure increases.
The original problem is worse rather than better.
You come across as unfriendly and intimidating.
Anger is our response to stress. Many times we feel anger to avoid feeling some other emotion, such as anxiety or hurt. Or we may feel angry when we are frustrated because we want something and can't have it. Sometimes, feeling angry is a way of mobilizing ourselves in the face of a threat.
Anger may be useful because it stops (blocks) stress. Here are two examples:
You are rushing all day in your home office to meet an impossible deadline. Your daughter bounces in after school and gives you a big hug as you furiously type on your computer. You snap, "Not now! Can't you see I'm busy?"
This explains why people often respond with anger when they experience the following kinds of stress:
Being in a hurry
Being overstimulated
Being overworked
Feeling abandoned or attacked
Feeling forced to do something you don't want to do
Feeling out of control
Guilt, shame or hurt
Here are some constructive things can you do to reduce stress-instead of becoming angry:
Squeeze a rubber ball.
Do relaxation exercises.
Get physical exercise.
Listen to your favorite music.
Make a joke.
Play games.
Say it out loud.
State your needs assertively.
Take a nap.
Tell a friend about it.
An angry response often results when we are unhappy with someone else's behavior. Here are some other responses you can choose instead of flying off the handle:
Set limits. Let's say a friend hasn't returned a book you loaned to her. Now she wants to borrow another one. You could say, "I'm not going to be able to lend you this book until you return the first one."
Don't wait. When you realize that you're feeling annoyed by a situation, speak up. Don't wait until your annoyance escalates to anger.
Call a time-out. This is a very effective technique for breaking the sequence of behavior that leads to a blowup. It works best if it is discussed ahead of time and both people agree to use it. Here's how it works: Either person in an interaction can initiate time-out. One person makes the time-out gesture like a referee in a football game. The other person is obligated to return the gesture and stop talking.
Check it out. If anger is a response to personal pain, it makes sense to ask the other person, "What's hurting?"
Make positive statements. It may be helpful to memorize a few positive statements to say to yourself when your anger is being triggered. These statements can remind you that you can choose your behavior instead of reacting in a knee-jerk manner-for example, "I can take care of my own needs," "His needs are just as important as mine," and "I am able to make good choices."

If you have "new enough" lanadmin I think it includes reset from the

AT&T CENTER – Coming into Game two of the of the second round between the San Antonio Spurs and Portland Trail Blazers, one would have assumed the questions for Blazers head coach Terry Stotts would have been focused on the Blazers trying to rebound Thursday, and even the series, after falling in game one. Instead, however, all the buzz was about snakes.
Reports began to surface from the arena about a rattlesnake being found in Blazers forward Thomas Robinson's locker before personnel from both teams arrived at the arena.
"They said it was a rattle snake probably about three to four feet," said Stotts on the snake incident, "they said it was a young one. I wasn't here for it, but one tweet said Thomas (Robinson) jumped a few feet."
When asked who got rid of the snake, Stotts said it was one of the AT&T Center employees, but also joked about the incident.
"I think some people here (got rid of the snake)," said Stotts, "they have them on hand."
When asked if he could just assess the situation overall, Stotts said the whole scenario sounded like something that would have happened in the ABA.
"It's bizarre to have a venomous snake in your locker room," said Stotts, "I don't know if it's happened before, it sounds like an ABA story."
There were so many curious minds thinking about the snake incident that at one point, the Blazers' public relations person had to say, "Any basketball questions?"
Wright says never real interest with Spurs last summer
Three days into free agency last July, there was a rumor being floated of the Spurs being one team interested in current Portland forward Dorell Wright before Wright signed with the Blazers.
I asked Wright if there was really any interest between he and San Antonio, and he said no.
"Nah," said Wright, "I ain't here nothing about that."

In Reply.—Dr Nader's main point is well taken. Under optimal circumstances, the physician should try to monitor the family's comprehension of what the school is doing with their child. Sometimes he may uncover misunderstandings or inadequacies that he can help to rectify through family counseling or a phone call to the school. Without doubt, most pediatricians would be in favor of this type of child advocacy.
However, the physician who does not find the time to perform this service, for whatever reason, should not be accused of "retreating from the arena of something uncomfortable." The practicing pediatrician knows all too well the arena of the unknown and uncertain. School problems do not carry half the stress of his daily confrontations with colicky babies, febrile young infants, poisonings, resistant urinary tract infections, unexplained headaches, and so forth. I would state again, there is a local division of labor—and the provision

Summary: Christman Sanctuary is a nature preserve that protects part of the Bozen Kill creek. Along the creek there are a series of small waterfalls and cascades.
From the parking area, follow the trail through the field to the sign-in register just inside the forest. Continue left on the trail with blue markers which will take you down to the creek. After about 1/2 mile, if the creek is low enough, you can cross and follow the Plantation Trail. It is best to follow this loop trail (marked with orange) in a clockwise direction.
The blue trail continues along the creek to a T-intersection. Go straight ahead and then down some steps. You will soon reach the base of the 30 foot waterfall. This is a nice picnic spot with a lean-to.
To return, retrace your steps to the T-intersection. Take a left and follow the trail back to the register.
Trailhead: From Albany, take US 20 (Western Ave) West toward Duanesburg. Turn left onto Schoharie Turnpike. The parking area is on the left at top of hill just after crossing the railroad - about 3.3 miles from US 20. (Lat:42.743 Lon:-74.129)

This trail is good for an easy hike, but is the most poorly marked trail I have been on. My boyfriend and I ran into more than one other group that were also a little lost. Also, would be nice when water is moving and there is an actual waterfall.

nice spring hike the waterfalls were nice steep in couple spots but mostly easy and comfortable walking/hiking might want a walking stick to cross the water if you want to take orange trail. the only dislike about this would be the lack of parking be prepared to park on side of street and be careful of deep ditch only a couple spots in lot.

Snowshoed the trails on March 7, 2015. Excellent conditions, trails well marked. Ice covered falls was beautiful!
Reviewed by Katz on 9/22/2014
It's a really great short hike, well marked with plenty of visual variety to enjoy. I look forward to hiking it after a good rain, when the water is flowing and the waterfall is much more dramatic. That said, I must include a warning for first-timers: I would NOT rely on the latitude/longitude directions from the Nature Conservancy site! We did, and the directions took us down a private road, and where a resident was none too happy about us turning around there. Fact is, I did see a sign on the left, but having hiked a couple of trails whose trailheads are down a private road, I assumed the directions were correct. Needless to say, we beat it out of there quickly, but I think this is information others may find valuable.

Really cool hike. Very easy, relaxing and scenic. Starts off through a nice little meadow, then about 1/8 mile in the forest until you get to the creek which is the star here. The water was low enough so we could actually walk up a significant distance on the creek itself, passing by one mini waterfall after another until we reached the big one. This was really just the perfect hike for us today - not much more tiring than walking around your neighborhood and plenty of places to stop and relax and enjoy the scenery. Very rejuvenating. We brought our dog and no one cared. To be honest though if someone complained I likely would have just made a fart noise with my mouth or something and continued on. yep.
Reviewed by DJ on 7/9/2014
This was a fun hike today! Though hiking in was quite sloppy and you will wreck your shoes or sneakers- so please wear boots or water shoes. So much to see on this hike! The Falls are beautiful and the high one had hikers who went right out on the edge of the highest one- even a photo shoot there- not smart to chance it on the edge! Would recommend- but be careful on the trails- pretty steep with no rails - so watch the kiddos well!
Reviewed by Fritz on 10/28/2013
We hiked the blue, the red, the yellow and even the orange(someone bought the wrong color?). Easy to lose your way even though the trails are well marked. Not a good trail for small children or anyone without footwear with traction and good balance. That said, this is a great place to go exploring with or without water running over the falls. In the spring or after rain, definitely use footwear that can get wet for exploring and crossing the creek at various points. Dolls eye berries(watch those small children again), poison ivy and interesting non-toxic vegetation throughout. Allow three hours to fully explore the area and it's dramatic terrain, features and getting lost (especially with leaves on the ground).
Reviewed by Deb on 10/27/2013
Very nice hike, trail was well maintained. Enjoyed both the blue and orange trail, altho we did lose the trail at one point. Leaves on the ground hid the path! Path to falls had great "assists" to navigate a narrow path. First time on one of the Nature Conservancy paths and it was very enjoyable.

Sir.—It was with a mixture of interest and personal chagrin that I read the article by Larter et al1 on polymyxin B sulfate and pertussis vaccine—interest because I have been a sometime advocate of this particular application of the endotoxin-inactivating activity of polymyxin B, but chagrin that, in this narrow field, reference to my own publication2 in a readily accessible journal was omitted. My dismay was intensified when I realized that the article was authored by the senior members of AJDC's editorial board, who had clearly not done their homework either in checking the pertinent literature or their references. For the record, my own article on the subject, which appeared in 1981 (the same year as the article by Cooperstock and Riegle3), provided independent confirmation of the inactivating effect of polymyxin B on the endotoxin component of pertussis vaccine.

60 essential apps for mobile: Android has finally closed the app gap with iOS
0. phoneArena 20 Aug 2012, 09:58 posted on
Throughout the last couple of years, we've kept on hearing that Apple has the strongest ecosystem, the most and the best apps, and that basically…
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. wendygarett (unregistered)
I always bring android phone to work to tour to eat and to sleep
But when it comes to apps... I always prefer iPhone and iPad no matter what... Because o trust ios more than android :)
29. AppleWho (banned) (Posts: 57; Member since: 06 Aug 2012)
seriously...how about them 400000+ apps on the appstore that never get downloaded....
32. thebest (Posts: 231; Member since: 08 Jul 2012)
now there might be even more android apps that never get downloaded, we should talk about it only after they provide android's analytics in the 4th quarter,because apple users buy apps more often than android users........its not that the apps are bad, many apps don't get downloaded because its impossible to search for them in the crowded store so people are just attracted towards the most downloaded apps which appear in the beginning....apple's new redesigned app search in the ios 6 will change it and google should do something like that as well, numbers just got too big for these stores
41. nnaatthhaannx2 (Posts: 820; Member since: 19 Oct 2011)
Yeah, I agree.
The search feature is really messed up in both stores.
If I search for an unpopular app WORD FOR WORD that contains "birds" "camera" "photo" "sms" and so on, it will just show the most popular apps, not the actual one I typed in.
Really stinks knowing that google is a company based around search.
46. Lucas777 (Posts: 2137; Member since: 06 Jan 2011)
i think the apple one will be better with ios 6-- hopefully they integrated chomp which was really useful for finding relevant searches… i am not sure if they have integrated it yet though
and part of the problem with this article is that yes, they both have big name apps, but of the other apps the ones on ios are normally of higher quality and more available…
for example i read dvice every day, but there is not an app for android while there is one for ios
47. nnaatthhaannx2 (Posts: 820; Member since: 19 Oct 2011)
I've never heard of dvice.
And yeah, android apps are lacking, expecially on tablets (compared to the iPad)
48. Lucas777 (Posts: 2137; Member since: 06 Jan 2011)
its just a tech site about like upcoming technologies being created-- like what the people at Cal tech are doing
its just a small app that is easy to create for ios, but not worth it to create for android

This is the difference between geeks and fans....Fans just don't understand that every OS have their pros and cons...Android is best at it's customization and everything else,but when it comes to app iOS is still far ahead...

why do you trust Apple:

are you sure?
with Android if you install just play market good apps you are safe and you see all the permissions but wit iOS you DO NOT KNOW anything when installing :)
that is why 40 % of popular iOS apps brake your privacy ;)

Developers hesitated to make apps for Android as it is open source and there are ways to get paid apps of free and the iOS market was more profitable. But now, as Android is dominating the smartphone market, there might be a rise. Maybe even more than iOS.
15. thebest (Posts: 231; Member since: 08 Jul 2012)
ios has got that number after apple has rejected hundreds of thousands of junk apps and useless apps.......google should do the same thing as well, even if hundreds of thousands have to be removed from the play store, numbers are not as important as quality and security
17. maryaaadil (Posts: 146; Member since: 07 Apr 2012)
but still there are 400000 apps that not have been downloaded yet.

Which i think the consumers will, or wont download?
27. thebest (Posts: 231; Member since: 08 Jul 2012)
maybe they will, but the problem is that everyone talks about the most downloaded apps, no one cares about the alternative apps, as you can see in this article itself, everyone cares about the apps that were downloaded more number of times, maybe there are much better apps in those 400,000 than the ones listed in this article but its very difficult to look at all the 650,000 apps
24. thebest (Posts: 231; Member since: 08 Jul 2012)
thats exactly what i want to say, number is not as important as quality.....ios apps have around 11 billion more downloads than google apps, so google has atleast 450,000 apps that aren't downloaded.....numbers don't matter anymore.....popular app releases, quicker releases, quality and security matters the most, we don't need numbers because we won't download even download 1% of those apps
3. thebest (Posts: 231; Member since: 08 Jul 2012)
google should start removing junk apps, useless apps and malware from the google play store.........and i hope that google also reduces fragmentation and get all the latest releases as quick as apple....all these things are easier said than done,developers will always prefer apple,apple's xcode can make apps that are more beautiful and polished....... apple rejected hundreds of thousands of apps already for quality and security.................i am just thinking of microsoft, how will they fill this dent? microsoft will find it very difficult to get some marketshare from google's android..........
10. dok2005 (Posts: 55; Member since: 18 Apr 2012)
the fragmentation isnt that bad. android is open source people choose what they want to do with it. If you really want to keep super on top then you should root and add new rom to your phone. you not missing out on many apps trust me. you say apple xcode makes things more beautiful and polish thats not true. it all depends on how the developer design the game, the resolution/ppi of your device, the processor, and the size of your screen.
14. thebest (Posts: 231; Member since: 08 Jul 2012)
no, fragmentation is bad, for us and also for the developers.........my cousin is a developer, he says that xcode can make more beautiful apps, its also easy to make apple apps, they are safe and make 4 times more money than android......my galaxy nexus is already rooted....anyways, what do you think about wp8?
19. jordanetodd (Posts: 6; Member since: 10 Aug 2012)
my cousin is a fire fighter, does that make me an expert on fighting fires? No. It doesn't.
I have a new android phone every month, and I'm constantly roming and modding them, from the minute I get them. As more people upgrade to newer phones with better processors, the fragmentation problems start to dwindle into the past, you have to format your apps to work with different screen sizes, which is soon to be the case on iOS as well, with the new bigger iphone.
26. thebest (Posts: 231; Member since: 08 Jul 2012)
my brother tells me everything about developing apps, i see him doing things and i have observed and experienced how things are done...let me tell you that screen size doesn't matter, its the resolution that creates fragmentation, apple has only 2 different resolutions in tablets and 3 different resolutions in phones after the new iphone is released.........no one complained of fragmentation when the iphone 4 was released, there aren't any problems of fragmentation in the ipad apps even though apple released the new ipad with 4X better resolution few months back........there is no problem as long as you have 2 or 3 resolutions, especially when all the devices run on apple processors.......in android there are thousands of different resolutions and processors of different brands, even the developers don't know how many different types of android phones and tablets are there........now there is a reason why developers prefer apple.
40. dok2005 (Posts: 55; Member since: 18 Apr 2012)
ok for developer point of view again fragmentation isnt that bad. you act like theirs 50 million version, but its not. if it was then no developer would even try. not only that but just like almost every developer being doing. make the application usable on all basic formats. if you look in google play app selection now alot of them would say android 2.2/2.3 or higher. which covers the majority of phone from low range to top tier. the only phones it wouldn't cover is phones before that time. which mean somebody is still carrying around an htc dream/ g1. and thats no different from someone still carrying around the original iphone. they reached their EOL. Again I explain what makes the app looks like it look. you got an galaxy nexus you should know. yes iphone makes more money because the only way to get an app is through the app store unless you jailbreak it. then the app has to be cracked to use and then you got to find it. Android phones dont have to be rooted to do that. So paid apps become free. if you can find them.
windows as a company is playing catch up way to late. honestly if you compared the possibilities of what the original iphone vs windows phone of that time. The software really still had leaps and bounds over ios at the time. except windows didnt improve and let ios become the power house it is. So, it has alot to prove. Honestly it might be the real third ecosystem. Since so far if you been keeping up they really having the phone companies making the wp8 verison of the android phone. (Samsung Galaxy S3 vs Samsung Odyssey) Also have to keep in mind that alot of people use to be Blackberry fans. I think they might tie with them with the BB10 software. Only time will tell though.
42. thebest (Posts: 231; Member since: 08 Jul 2012)
when you compare android with ios, the developer would prefer ios.......its not only the resolution, processors and gpus that are different for android devices, most of the people use os thats 2 generations old......now developers have to concentrate more on android 2.3 than on android 4 and 4.1 respectively.....some of them don't optimize the apps for android 4 or later and some are forced to just for the few percentage of people using it......plus developers are also being forced to make two versions of android games these days, one for the nvidia tegra 3 and the other for the rest, thats a tiresome job...in that way every processor might require its own version but the developers can't provide that..even google developed the latest google search app for ios before android 2.3, 3 and 4.......and after all this an average developer earns 4 times more on ios, so ios is an obvious choice for apps.....
microsoft has been careful, they are trying to avoid fragmentation as much as possible, even though they might not be as clean as apple ios, if they set up such limitations, they can have good quality apps, the only thing that they need now is some marketshare, android will have more marketshare for years but wp os needs some marketshare.

you know, all the apps yoi need is in android. just not everything is quality... I wanted infinity blade so bad...
and also, keeping my mind open, most of the apps and all in Android might be launcher themes and wallpapers and all. some we don't even bother checking. Android has a long way to go in terms of quality. I'm hoping Android's design team fixes it.
43. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
Dude you're definitely right, you hit a lot of points that the author completely didn't even think about.
1. Android has a ton of downloadable widgets, which is good and bad. First, these widgets are included in the total app count (which is fine), and secondly, there are a lot of repeat widgets with repeated functions i.e. the hundreds of weather widgets some of which look/work exactly the same. Also keep in mind that a single live wallpaper is considered an app in the play store....and there are hundreds if not thousands of them. Again this isn't a bad thing, but when the author says Android is only "50,000 short of iOS" its important to keep the numbers in perspective.
2. The apps listed above are the most popular and some of the most basic applications so of course Android is going to have those. there's nothing exceptional about offering applications like Google+, Pandora, Angry Birds, Cut the Rope, etc. If you go to the App Store right now, skip the top 25, and go to the featured what's new and what's hot categories, a lot/most of those applications are not available on Android. Also, the wait time for Android to get some of these applications was not even addressed. Yes its great that some great applications are available on both platforms, but the 2.5 years I had to wait to get applications like 2Do on Android was no walk in the park.
3. Also, just because an app is available in the play store doesn't mean its going to work [well] with your device, regardless of how new or up to date it is. Going through the Android market, you read reviews about frustrated customers i.e. Doesn't work on the Evo 3D, always crashes on the SGII, or won't even load on my device. The App Store has its fair share of compatibility issues, but nowhere to the extent of what is found in the Play Store.
The graphics are a lot better on a lot of the applications as well. Some apps look completely terrible on those 4.8 screens with big words and pixelized icons. Graphics in games are also much more crisp and better looking. Even a simple game like cut the rope has noticeable difference across iOS and Android. On the SGIII, the colors were saturated and although saying it was pixel-ized would be a lie, it wasn't as crisp as the iOS version.
Victor definitely jumped the gun on this one.

Why would you list iApps? Of course they're not going to be available from playstore.
iPhoto yes no no
iMovie yes no no
GarageBand yes no no
I guess you should list
Google Maps

google's offline navigation will work in 29 countries and nokia's maps work in 110 countries
Nokia currently offers Nokia Maps and Transport and Nokia Drive on their Lumia handsets, and has provided regular updates with new and improved functionality.......but the problem is that now these maps are not confined to nokia phones, even the other wp8 devices will get these maps
35. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
so Google maps is only short in country number? Google updates its map application to include trains and other transportation options, has recorded hundreds of Local places information(address numbers) along with consumer reviews, 360 view for buildings inside and outside, and now o 4.1 it even recommends places for you to try out and gives accurate and live transit status....
38. thebest (Posts: 231; Member since: 08 Jul 2012)
Yes, that's what I want to say...... I don't say that google maps are bad.....google has features that can be completely used only in 29 countries and Nokia has offline maps for 110 countries which means that Nokia maps are the best maps in at least 81 out of 110 countries...... Google maps are good but limited to only a few countries
65. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
well the country number could be increased..... I agree with that.

Only if you decide to buy a Windows phone, so I disagree, Google Maps isn't screwed.

what about Live wallpapers, launchers, keyboards etc.....
45. thebest (Posts: 231; Member since: 08 Jul 2012)
google maps is available in the app store, apple is just removing the default app for the new apple maps, so apple users will have both apple maps with siri integration and the google maps.........youtube app will also come to the app store as soon as its removed from ios.......all the google apps are available and will always be available in ios

wow.. good comparison...
but unlike blackberry os, some of these apps and games has an alternative unlike WP(not hating, i love WP) instagram blackberry has molome, temple run BB has tomb escape, cut the rope BB has feed the chicken... so i think bb deserve to be there...
50. downphoenix (Posts: 3165; Member since: 19 Jun 2010)
BB has Cut the Rope... on Playbook.

55. pikapowerize (banned) (Posts: 1869; Member since: 03 May 2012)
and BlackBerry App World has 86,000 set of apps... and thats pretty decent...
11. pikapowerize (banned) (Posts: 1869; Member since: 03 May 2012)
but android and iOS app catalog are competely different.. android has a lot of angry birds clone... and there are apps that isnt available to android and iOS... i really wonder why devs are loo lazy to make there apps available to android, wp, blackberry? most of the devs are all on the iOS.. and they are really lazy... it took years to make the instagram available to android.. and it might took another year to make it available to wp and bb... same goes to temple run...
so i guess this is what html5 wants to do.. to make apps compatible to all platform.. but then again.. it will only work to mobile phone who is always connected to the internet... and its not ready for primetime...
51. downphoenix (Posts: 3165; Member since: 19 Jun 2010)
Some HTML5 apps can be made to work offline. And yes, I am in full support of HTML5 making it big. And yes, some devs are lazy.
53. pikapowerize (banned) (Posts: 1869; Member since: 03 May 2012)
yeah.. but thats the point only some... while atleast on API most of them... html5 might not boom in some country like philippines coz, yes html5 might be good but most people dont go postpaid.. and most of us are in prepaid.. we dont have wifi everywhere, not to mention no LTE, and 3G still not everywhere and that just sucks... average still go to internet cafes coz cant afford a loptop or pay the internet connection..
but html5 might be the solution.. but android pushing people to html5 isnt really good... for me i still prefer flash... coz html5 apps just loads like snail... so slow in my type of connection ( i bought the broadband stick that offers 7.5mbps, but on prepaid... all people here say that our carriers value prepaid users than postpaid, but i didnt get what i pay for, only gives me like 150-200kbps..it sucks that 3G isnt fast here) thats why i prefer flash...

neck and neck.
Also why are you including iOS proprietary apps? That seems redundant... There's apps similar to iMovie and Garageband for android, but those apps will never be ported. Not if apple has anything to say about it.
25. TROLL (banned) (Posts: 4851; Member since: 13 Apr 2012)
I wonder why? Is it exclusive just for ios?
31. primarchlion (Posts: 5; Member since: 22 Dec 2011)
They are first party apps developed by Apple. Apple doesn't port their apps to other mobile OS's.

So the app gap has finally been reduced to zero. That is terrific news. Now we can finally throw out the argument of App Store having more apps than Play Store.
Now what remains to be rectified is malware caused by SOME apps and piracy of apps on Android. Malware isn't that high on Play Store plus there are tons of Anti-virus apps, that will do. Although, I'd like Google to screen apps that are published. Speaking of app piracy, which makes developers turn away from Android, I expect this will greatly reduce once the Play Store Gift Cards are made available everywhere.
34. AppleWho (banned) (Posts: 57; Member since: 06 Aug 2012)
Android is ahead just because it has a bunch of apps to customize specific launcher, wallpapers, live papers, fonts, etc. - things not on the app store...and, it has many useful apps for rooted users.
36. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
looks like you took an iOS app list and then tried to compare everyone else to it. A little disingenuous is it not? You could easily do the same with Android or heck even WP7.
60. Victor.H (Posts: 658; Member since: 27 May 2011)
Remixfa, I've run through a couple of popular app lists to come up with this, both for Android and iOS. I don't find the presence of some iOS apps disingenuous since Apple led the space for a while with some great titles. I guess you're not happy to see GarageBand or iPhoto, or some of the others here. Let's make it clear, those are there because they are good apps that might make you stay on iOS and I don't know of similar apps on Android or Windows Phone. Feel free to add suggestions if you do.
37. Whateverman (Posts: 3262; Member since: 17 May 2009)
Funny, people are saying Android is only catching up because of all the live wallpapers and themes, suggesting that theses are not real apps. But how about all the proprietary apps in ios? All the time card and schedule checking apps that are only used by employees of a particular company. If these can be added to iOS's talley, than customization in Android shouldn't be such a big deal
And Victor is even saying the quality of Android apps are their as well, but there are still a few of you not willing to admit developers are making high quality apps for Android as well. Yet there is no difference in any of the games mentioned shared by Android, iOS, and WP7.
It's times to let it go guys...they're all pretty now.
39. rd_nest (Posts: 1593; Member since: 06 Jun 2010)
When did iPhoto/iMovie/GarageBand become essential apps?? Someone though forgot about Google maps :P
People should check the app called Tasker. I would consider something like Tasker, DSLR Controller as excellent apps.

google maps is available in the app store, when ios 6 comes, the ios users can have both apple and google maps......only the default app is being removed, it was not as good as the google maps app available in the app store which is quite good and apple also wanted to integrate it with siri so.......google isn't going out of the app store,even youtube app will come to the app store as soon as its removed from os, so no one will miss any google apps
there are much better apps in the app store as well,even some good apps and games like urban crime and action movie fx etc etc.....anyways, i will try both the apps that you have mentioned over here so thanks....... phonearena, here is taking only the apps that are very essential and popular, its impossible to compare all the apps from these two stores, both the stores are too big to be compared....

I can just say iOS is way better. They have great graphics that suit iDevice. Overall, it is more systematic.

Moving Ahead
Two milestones occurred during the first week of June 2000. On June 1, the York Haven Power Company, a GPU company, hosted the dedication of the new serpentine vertical-slot fish ladder at York Haven Dam, and on June 2, the Fish & Boat Commission moved to its new headquarters at 1601 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg.
The dedication of the fish ladder at York Haven Dam means that all four hydroelectric dams on the lower Susquehanna River now have fully functional fish passage facilities. The utilities that operate these dams have expended about $70 million in a joint venture to provide fish passage through Conowingo Dam, Holtwood Dam, Safe Harbor Dam and, now, York Haven Dam. The Fish & Boat Commission applauds these public-spirited utilities, which joined the resource agencies in a partnership to restore historic migratory fish runs to the Susquehanna.
I believe all Pennsylvania anglers and boaters should take pride in what has been accomplished so far in restoring American shad to the Susquehanna River Basin. The runs of American shad in the Susquehanna River this spring have broken all records. More than 160,000 American shad have passed Conowingo Dam and more than 3,000 have used the new fish ladder at York Haven.
Efforts to restore migratory fish runs to the Susquehanna River Basin have spanned more than a century. In 1866, the Fish Commission was established as a state agency to address diminishing fish populations on the Commonwealth's waters and restore migratory fish runs on Pennsylvania's rivers and streams. From the research of the 1950s to the historic agreements between resource agencies and the utilities in the 1980s and 1990s, the staff of the Fish & Boat Commission have forged a successful partnership with other agencies, the utilities and Pennsylvania sportsmen. I'm proud of the dedicated service of so many individuals who have devoted countless hours to this effort.
The extraordinary leadership of one of my predecessors, Ralph W. Abele, was a key to the success of the shad restoration efforts. As executive director of the Fish Commission in the 1970s and 1980s, Ralph developed the "Resource First" philosophy that guides us today. He established the VanDyke Shad Rearing Station, and he led efforts to have conditions inserted in the operating licenses for the hydroelectric dams to require installation of functional fish passage facilities. Ralph's predecessor as the Commission's executive director, Robert Bielo, continued a vital leadership role in migratory fish restoration as executive director of the Susquehanna River Basin Commission. Richard St. Pierre of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service coordinated the efforts of the agencies and the utilities through the Susquehanna Anadromous Fish Restoration Committee, and he was the key player in seeing these projects through from concept to completion.
At the ceremonies dedicating the York Haven fish ladder, John Oliver, Secretary of the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, once again demonstrated our Commonwealth's strong interagency partnership to restore migratory fish runs all the way from the Chesapeake Bay to Binghamton, New York. Secretary Oliver announced that the inflatable dam at Shikellamy State Park, near Sunbury, will be operated in a way that maximizes upstream passage of American shad in the future. This means that the bags that are inflated to form the dam may have to remain down later in the season, and Secretary Oliver pledged DCNR's support of this effort. The Fish & Boat Commission applauds Secretary Oliver's statement and we will work with him on a permanent solution to fish passage at the inflatable dam.
As American shad move up the Susquehanna River in record numbers in spring 2000, the Fish & Boat Commission is moving ahead in another way to better serve our customers, the anglers and boaters of Pennsylvania. On June 2, our Harrisburg offices moved from our rented quarters on Walnut Street to our new office building at 1601 Elmerton Avenue. For more than 134 years, the Commission's Harrisburg offices have been housed in borrowed or rented quarters. Now we have a home that Pennsylvania anglers and boaters can call their own.
The new headquarters project took many years of hard work and dedicated efforts. The new headquarters is a tribute to the foresight of our commissioners. They realized that our agency's ability to serve Pennsylvania anglers and boaters in a new century would be enhanced by a functional office and warehouse building with adequate meeting space. The members of the General Assembly, who twice voted to approve this new building, and the administration of Governor Tom Ridge, who gave us the go-ahead to make this project a reality, also deserve great appreciation.
Our new headquarters is a direct result of the hard work of a great many Fish & Boat Commission employees over many months and even years. During the move, staff devoted countless hours of their personal time to ensuring a smooth transition.
Our new headquarters represents an affirmation of the importance of fishing and boating programs. It is a visible statement of the Commonwealth's faith in the future of our efforts to provide fishing and boating opportunities through the protection and management of aquatic resources. On July 22, 2000, the Commission will host an open house at our new headquarters. We will cut the ribbon and dedicate our new facility to the future of Pennsylvania's precious aquatic resources. We're moving ahead.

Crimes Against Womenby THE STAFF OF The Wall Street Journal
As 2012 came to a close, news of the gang rape of a young woman in India's capital generated headlines around the world. Her assault on a moving bus with a metal rod, and her death two weeks later from her injuries, focused attention on the dark side of the world's largest democracy: the struggle that faces many Indian women in a country where chauvinistic and misogynistic attitudes prevail. The Wall Street Journal's India bureau explored this horrendous crime and others that explore the experience of Indian women in the 21st century. The reporting in all the stories stands out for its gripping detail and its emotional pull. In many cases, central figures involved in these everyday dramas were speaking for the first time. The book begins with the story of a Catholic nun murdered in rural India as she tried to preserve ancient tribal ways in the face of mining expansion, while also coming to the aid of a woman who had allegedly been raped. Next is a riveting account of a young woman from rural Bihar who was duped into moving to Delhi, where she was forced to marry or go into prostitution -- and the disaster for her and her family that ensued. The woman broke her long-held silence to speak to the WSJ about what happened. The book ends with the WSJ's world-beating coverage of the New Delhi rape case, including intimate portraits of the victim and her friend who tried to save her but couldn't. He granted the WSJ intimate and exclusive access to tell his side of the story. In this e-book, we are bringing together these stories -- in many cases updated with fresh details of the individuals' lives -- to show the hopes and the catastrophes, the bravery and the abuse that are the daily lot of millions of India's women.

A day's worth of decisions will likely be waiting for you when you begin seeing to your affairs today. You may feel astute and competent, so the multitude of choices before you may energize rather than exhaust you. Should you find yourself wondering whether you are truly in control of your own destiny, consider that the decisions you need to make today can provide you with an outlet to express your desires and needs. Each choice you make can help you find your way to your intended destiny by allowing you to steer away from the paths that do not interest you and toward those that do.
Decisions we make grant us the gift of autonomy because our choices lead us from one level of success or enlightenment to the next. As the path we take will never be precisely the same as that of anyone else on earth, our lives' directions will always be unique in nature. We can capitalize on this innate individuality by endeavoring to make the most of each and every one of our decisions, no matter what the nature of the situation before us. A good choice will almost always carry us forward so that we come ever closer to fulfilling our short- and long-term goals. We will also, upon choosing wisely, typically find ourselves enjoying experiences that help us grow. The astuteness with which you differentiate between the options in front of you today will ensure that the course you carve will satisfy your needs and desires.

A drunk man was "blindsided" and robbed of $240 and other personal items early Tuesday at Broadway and Mill Street on the city's East Side, police said.
The victim was hit in the left eye, causing a cut and severe swelling and pain, authorities said. The attacker made off with the victim's wallet, money and other belongings, officials said. The victim was treated in Buffalo General Medical Center, police said.

A woman apparently took an extreme measure to try to quit smoking, and it got her arrested.
Etta Lopez, 31, is charged with assaulting a police officer.
"It was totally unprovoked," Deputy Matt Campoy said. Out of nowhere, a woman purposefully blocked his way as he left his shift at the Sacramento County Jail.
"All of a sudden she stepped into me and slapped me in the face," he said.
According to deputies, Lopez knew she'd immediately be arrested, and slapped a cop to kick a habit.
Lopez allegedly admitted she sat in front of the county jail for hours intent on assaulting an officer to get arrested and be put in jail, where she would be forced to stop smoking cigarettes.

Sometimes, Charleston seems to have so much history that the city doesn't know what to do with it all.
So it's not necessarily surprising that some of it can end up under a tarp in a parking garage for many years.
But Dr. Brian Cuddy was certainly surprised when he recently lifted a tarp and discovered two stone tablets outlining the history of the original Roper Hospital and its second hospital.
Cuddy then reached out to Dr. William Carter, who had known about the tablets for a few years but needed a nudge to figure out what to do about them.
"It completely fell off my radar," Carter said. "He (Cuddy) was like a kid at Christmas. He was so excited."
Late last month, Roper Hospital held a small ceremony to unveil the freshly refurbished plaques, which now hang just inside the hospital's entrance from the Doughty Street garage.
Each tablet is about a yard square, weighs about 150 pounds and offers details of each hospital's architect, builder and the key donors who made the buildings possible. They appear to date from 1852 and 1906, respectively.
While the plaques presumably once were displayed in a similar prominent position in Roper's previous hospitals, the recent decades were not kind to them.
Carter said he knows of no one who remembers them being displayed anywhere. At some point, they were sent to Tezza Tile, possibly for cleaning or storage. When Tezza closed its shop several years ago, it contacted Roper to see if the hospital wanted the tablets back - or whether they should be tossed out. The hospital claimed them, but just left them covered up in the garage.
"Those plaques were probably in the best parking space in the entire garage," Carter said.
While Roper's third and current hospital was built in the mid 20th century and expanded just a few years back, the institution has a rich history as the nation's sixth hospital, Carter said.
"These plaques have more than historical significance," he said. "These are the broad shoulders on which we all stand."
Before they were finally reinstalled, Carter had them cleaned again, and they look to be in good shape now.
And they're not the only example of commemorative tablets that once were lost but now are found. Last year, a home foreclosure in Little Rock, Ark., led to a backyard discovery of 12 similar stone tablets that once lined the lobby of the Charleston Orphan House. The city received them and is considering where to install them.
And who knows what will be the next exciting discovery. Roper actually received several more plaques from Tezza, including ones for the long-gone health care institutions of Baker Sanitorium and Baker Hospital, but they remain out of sight.
"Those other plaques don't have the historical significance that these do," Carter said.
Reach Robert Behre at 937-5771.
Editor's note: An earlier version of this story incorrectly reported Dr. William Carter's first name. We apologize for the error.
The older of Roper's two recently rediscovered tablets, this 19th century marble marker outlines the individuals and institutions that helped create the first Roper Hosptial in the 1850s. It is the nation's sixth oldest hospital. Robert Behre/Staff×

Dear Photograph: Nostalgic Past and Present Photos Tell Many StoriesWendyM
The Dear Photograph website has quickly become a viral sensation, and with good reason.
The nostalgic photos bring to life both happy and sad memories, with a twist. An old photo is lined up with the same setting in the present, with a caption that relays the emotion or memory of the passage of time.
It's that gap of time that often tells the story, however.
Taylor Jones got the idea for Dear Photograph while looking at old photos with his mother in Ontario. Jones tells The Guardian that he was struck by one photo of his brother at his third birthday party: "He was sitting in front of his Winnie the Pooh birthday cake. It was weird because my brother was there, in the exact spot he was sitting in in the photograph."
He lined up the old photo in the new setting, took the photo and posted six others on a blog. His Dear Photograph blog took off from there — it was named one of Time magazine's 50 Best Websites of 2011 and now gets 20,000 hits a day.
Jones left his job as a social media specialist and has been working on a book inspired by the Dear Photograph site. There's also some buzz about a film or TV project based on the site.
Jones only uploads one of 20 entries he receives a day, sharing, "The photo is usually chosen depending on [what's] going on around the world," but, he notes, "it sometimes depends just on how I'm feeling. If I'm feeling great, I'm going to post a fun photo."
The results are brilliant: nostalgia, regret, missing the old days and simpler times are all themes reflected in the short notes accompanying the often powerful photos.
Simpler times 1 of 19"Dear Photograph, Where are the days when I could let myself enjoy the smallest of things with so much ease? I really miss that. Federico"
Little boy dreams 2 of 19"Dear Photograph, New Year's resolutions and 30 years gone by…what was that little boy inside of me thinking about so long ago? I hope I never quit chasing that little boy's dreams. It's what matters most. Scott"
Kid play 3 of 19"Dear Photograph, My brother and I back in time…when dinner and batman was all we cared about. Lauren"
Memories 4 of 19"Dear Photograph, My grandpa doesn't recognize me anymore, but he still smiles every time I show him this picture. I hope that deep inside he remembers how much I loved hanging out with him.. Love, Laura"
All grown up 5 of 19"Dear Photograph, My son hit a triple. He's all grown up now with 2 children and 1 on the way. Love Mom"
Snowsuit 6 of 19"Dear Photograph, It's been 50 years since I wore that snowsuit, and so much has changed. Yet in many ways, it feels like so little has…just the way it should be. Billy"
Missing you 7 of 19"Dear Photograph, I wish I could throw my arms around you and lean on you like old times. I miss my big brother. Maryam"
Reflection 8 of 19"Dear Photograph, Dad never took a picture of me, ever. Then I noticed his reflection in the glass. Happy Father's Day, Dad. Anonymous"
Getting older 9 of 19"Dear Photograph, It's not just the house that has gotten older… Janine"
Walks 10 of 19"Dear Photograph, Early morning walks together and my little boy, those moments will always make up the color in my life, and in my heart. Ladyjang"
Easy then, drama now 11 of 19"Dear Photograph, I miss those playful, tumble around days…now it's all drama. Gina"
Upward climb 12 of 19"Dear Photograph, I'm forever grateful for my sister. She kept me from tumbling downward when my parents divorced. I wish I could go back to beanie babies and the days when finding happiness wasn't such an upward climb. You saved my life Sissy. Love, Robin"
Love 13 of 19"Dear Photograph, That's love. @mithical"

Danny Granger is a free man, liberated from a Philadelphia 76ers team that has no interest in employing capable veterans not named Thaddeus Young.
Per Marc Stein and Ramona Shelburne of ESPN, the Sixers bought out Granger on Feb. 26:
Granger is scheduled to clear waivers Friday at 5 p.m. after the Sixers announced that they had released the 30-year-old, mere days after acquiring him in a last-minute deal just before the NBA's annual trade deadline last week for Evan Turner and Lavoy Allen.
And TNT's David Aldridge reports he'll have some suitors—including the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs.
There'll definitely be some interest from contending teams in need of a veteran on the wing, but don't expect any desperation or drooling. Remember, the Indiana Pacers shipped him out because they weren't confident he could help them as much as Turner and Allen.
There was some long-term thinking involved in swapping out Granger for two younger pieces, but the Pacers are in a position where every move is focused on one thing: winning a title. If they believed Granger would have been helpful in reaching that goal, he'd still be in Indy.
So, there's something we need to acknowledge about Granger up front: He's not a star anymore. In fact, he might not even be a rotation player.
Still, he's a veteran with a track record of solid play and a good reputation as a locker room leader. The way he handled Paul George's ascent into his vacant starring role speaks to the latter quality.
Having left a contender at the trade deadline, Granger will probably want to join a team occupying a spot in the league's upper echelon. That'll work fine, as those are precisely the kinds of outfits that could use his experience and skill in limited roles.
Don't rule out lesser squads, though. Granger might also want a larger dose of playing time so he can prove his health and up his value before hitting free agency this summer.
Let's run down Granger's options, listed alphabetically, for the season's stretch run.

If Jagr comes to Detroit I will VOMIT repeatedly. If Holland is a smart GM he will say Piss Off Jaromir go back to Russia.
I understand why everybody is afraid of Jagr but please be kind enough to add options to make our team better then.
The way I see itt adding jagr adds a vet presence that has size and a known game of puck possession. He could come here and supply as little as 40 or so points and for around 2 million that makes our team a lot better. It also leaves us a lot of room to fill all of our main needs. Like replacing Rafalski and Ericsson. Also to put something in perspective, Jagr is asking for less money the Big E is, so I'm thinking it is a pretty good deal.
I'm just curious what all you other arm chair GM's would do instead of of jagr that would bring us more of an attack and size up front, while leaving enough money to fill our void on the back end?

Sony Ericsson suffered a hefty loss as it took its final bow, losing further ground against its smartphone rivals in the crucial Christmas quarter.
The Swedish group, which has had a long-term partnership with Sony, will be subsumed into the Japanese brand as it finalises a €1 billion (£840 million) buyout over the next few months.
Sony Ericsson suffered a pre-tax loss of €247 million in the fourth quarter last year, compared with a €35 million profit a year earlier.
Sales fell to €1.3 billion from €1.5 billion and the number of phones it shipped fell by 20 per cent

Rd 2 MotoGP: Rossi fights back
April 9, 2006 Camel Yamaha Team rider Valentino Rossi returned to the top step of the podium after a stunning ride in yesterday's Grand Prix of Qatar. Rossi's 54th career MotoGP victory was sealed with a perfectly timed run in the second half of the race, passing early leader Casey Stoner (Honda) on lap 10 of 22 and holding off a late attack from Nicky Hayden (Honda) and Loris Capirossi (Ducati), who completed the podium. The win brings Rossi's premier-class tally level with that of Mick Doohan, with only the legendary Giacomo Agostini now ahead of him on 68 victories. Casey Stoner's pole position in only his second Grand Prix, followed by leading for the first ten laps indicates MotoGP has unearthed yet another potential star - though Stoner was eventually fifth, he already looks capable of winning a race when he gets some riding condition capable of sustaining his speed for an entire race.
Nicky Hayden (Repsol Honda RC211V) came a narrow second to Rossi in a tense MotoGP race here in windy Qatar today. This was Hayden's sixth consecutive rostrum finish as he bids for his first win of the 2006 season.
With a 33km/h wind, erratic in direction, blowing throughout the day, turns two and nine seemed to be the worst affected. There was also a 44 degree track temperature to contend with, although the elevated ambient temperature that is so often a debilitating factor here was 'only' 25-degrees now that this is an April race instead of an October fixture.
Pole man Casey Stoner (LCR Honda RC211V) simply stormed away from the line as the lights went out and he looked strong as the field struggled to establish an order and make chase. Capirossi was nearest to the young Aussie, but the Italian couldn't stay with him as the first lap unfolded.
At the start of lap two the order was Stoner, Hayden, Rossi, Capirossi, Shinya Nakano (Kawasaki), Sete Gibernau (Ducati), then Marco Melandri (Fortuna Honda RC211V). Hayden put in an early fastest lap as he went all out to hound Stoner in those early stages. Dani Pedrosa (Repsol Honda RC211V) was down in 11th place following a slow get away from the starting light.
Then it was Rossi piling on the pressure as he chased Hayden, a fastest lap belonging to the Italian rider on lap three. On lap six Rossi and Hayden swapped places twice in both final loops as they fought for dominance in the struggle to reel in runaway Stoner. Rossi eventually got the upper hand and had a 0.77 second gap to close on the swift Australian.
On lap ten Rossi nipped past Stoner into turn one, then it was Hayden's turn to demote Stoner to third on the next lap. Rossi now held a 0.6 second advantage over Hayden and it was only another two laps before Capirossi squeezed past the Aussie to put the 'old firm' in charge at the front.
As lap fifteen ran its course Rossi and Hayden had an advantage of more than a second over Capirossi and Stoner, with Gibernau losing ground in fifth. Hayden now knew he had to size up Rossi to see what his plan should be in the closing laps. He moved past Rossi at turn one on lap 19.
Rossi repaid the compliment on lap 20 at the same place and Hayden could not respond and Rossi won by 0.9 seconds at the flag with closer to Hayden than the American was to Rossi. But Hayden rode a mature race and it can't be long until the Kentucky Kid notches up a second career win in MotoGP.
Valentino Rossi, Camel Yamaha, 1st: "That was a great race – it was hard but that is what made it such fun. My M1 worked really well today - as the race went on the grip went down and the vibration completely disappeared, so I was able to go fast at the end. Also I set the fastest lap of the race on lap three, so this shows how well my M1 was working. This win is important for the championship but even more so from a mental point of view for me and the team. It was windy but the grip was good and I was able to chase Stoner, who was very fast at the start. When his tyres went down I was able to pass him and I thought I could escape but Nicky stayed with me. Then I looked back and saw Loris was coming too so I began to get worried about the last few laps. Anyway, I pushed hard and managed to hold on. It is great to be level with Mick Doohan, now only Giacomo Agostini is ahead of me. Records are not the most important thing but they are always nice! This feels like the start of the championship for me. Jerez was a nightmare but here we woke up! Big thanks to Jeremy and all the guys because they stayed focused during a difficult time and this is their reward." Davide Brivio, Camel Yamaha Team Director: "This is a great day for us because we have been going through a difficult patch so to come out of it with a win is fantastic. It is a credit to the team because they have remained determined throughout the problems and never lost their focus. On Colin's side we have to keep this focus because he had some problems today and we want to bring both Yamahas to the top. We have work to do but we made up some important points in the championship today and this victory gives us even more motivation to continue in the same way at Istanbul."
Nicky Hayden, Repsol Honda, 2nd: "Battling for the win is so much more fun than battling for fourth place! I pushed Valentino hard today and I pushed myself about as hard as I could too. We had the bike that could win today, but on the last lap in a left-hander I got into a nice little slide, Valentino gapped me pretty good and it was hard to recover. We gambled a bit with set up today, we rolled the dice, and it worked well for me in the race, helping a lot in the fast corners. So a big thanks to my crew. Its my second year with my crew chief and were working really well together. All the guys have been working hard and making some good improvements on the bike. We've still got some work to do and well be back here in the morning testing, but the new bikes definitely getting better and were heading in the right direction. Six podiums on the trot is cool, but it would be nice to get a few wins along the way!"
Makoto Tanaka Repsol Honda Team Manager " Ahhh! How disappointing today's result is! Nicky has worked hard to finalise his set-up since he came here and he did a really excellent job both in yesterdays qualifying and today's race. He's become really strong mentally since last year and I want sincerely to praise his work today. Dani lost many positions at the start because of an uncertain feeling from the clutch which caused him to wheelie. However, he did very well to finish sixth. He's a really professional rider who doesn't stop racing until he crosses the line. We didn't win, but Nicky took 2nd place and Dani is in 3rd place in the riders championship which bodes well for the rest of the season. We still have work to do to improve the bikes performance but I think we are close to our target. So, watch this space."
Loris Capirossi, Ducati MotoGP, third: "I am very happy and this is a great weekend for the team, because for sure this circuit was not one of the best for us. Bridgestone made a good job during the winter tests and we have made great improvements. For us, this was a difficult track and last year we had big problems. But this year we managed to fight for the victory right to the end, and took a very good result. The first part of the race was difficult because of the wind, but I adapted my style and made a good rhythm. Big thanks to everyone in the team and Ducati Corse. This is going to be a very interesting championship and if we can keep on like this we will be there for the whole season. I think we are in good shape, and have great confidence in the bike and the tyres."
Sete Gibernau, Ducati MotoGP, fourth: "I think we did a good job. We only lost time in the race at the slow hairpin. Right there I was getting a lot of chatter at the front of my Desmosedici, and in this one corner I lost half a second. In all the rest we were OK. Also, on the main straight, I was moving from side to side in the wind too much, which made it very physical. But we needed to finish this race and I look forward to the next one. The wind was the same for everyone and I would like to say thanks to Bridgestone and Ducati, they did very well."
Livio Suppo, Ducati MotoGP project manager: "I am very happy for the team and for Bridgestone. We were last here for the race in October, just a few months ago, and compared with then they have made an unbelievable step forward. So we must really thank them. Loris rode perfectly so thanks to him as well. When he is in a good mood he is incredible! I am very happy for Sete too. After the delusion of Jerez he kept his nerves under control and made a very good race. Tomorrow we stay here to test, because we never stop development. To start the season in such a good way, and when we see the potential we have, we must work hard to keep the potential at a high level. I want to thank our technical partner Shell Advance, for their big support." Casey Stoner, LCR Honda, 5th: "The start was great and I felt really comfortable out front and just concentrated on doing my own thing but as the fuel got lighter I wasn't able to up the pace as I lost some rear grip. My physical condition was also a factor today and I wasn't feeling 100%. I thought I could have got a better result today. I missed a lot of pre-season training and then I had the flu and after ten laps my leg began to cramp up. When Valentino came passed for the lead I wasn't surprised, it was only a matter of time, and over the second half of the race I had a good battle with Loris and Gibernau."
Dani Pedrosa, Repsol Honda: 6th "Its easy to say this now, but I believe I could have finished further up, at least in 4th, if Id made a better start. We had a problem with the clutch, like Nicky when he was practising his starts yesterday. At first I thought the wheel was spinning but actually it was the clutch. Then, when I was behind Elias and we were both overtaking Hopkins his bike put oil on our visors. Elias closed the throttle and we lost a lot of time on the leaders at least 3 or 4 seconds. When I caught Melandri we had a big battle. My bike was really fast and I could overtake him, but he was braking so late! Im not angry with the result, but Im upset because today I lost a good opportunity to be battling at the front. In the race I learned a lot of things and I know I performed as well as I could have. Although Im frustrated today, the two races so far have been really positive."
Marco Melandri, Fortuna Honda: 7th "It was a really difficult race. I got a good start and tried to make up some positions but I made a mistake towards the end of the race that cost me a position. I had a really good battle with Dani Pedrosa, he was passing me in the straight but I was able to get him back on the brakes. I'm still not riding as I would like to - tomorrow we'll stay for a day of tests and hopefully it can help us take another step forward."
Toni Elias, Fortuna Honda: 8th "We've done a great job over the two days of practice and I was hoping for more than this today. I didn't get a good start and I paid the price for that. Then Hopkins' engine began to drop oil and I had to shut off the throttle, sending me even further back. My visor was covered in oil and after losing contact with the lead group it became a really hard race for me. I'm disappointed because I know I could have had a nice race today."
Colin Edwards, Camel Yamaha, 9th: "I made a good start and over the first five laps I felt fine – the bike was good and I was able to ride aggressively. I thought: 'okay, let's go for it.' Then on lap six I lost the front three times in a row and I almost crashed on each one of them. I thought it was a bit early in the race for that to happen so I pushed on and got going again but the front kept going and I had to ride slower and slower. In the practice simulation I ran a 1'57.2 on my last lap but in the race it was three seconds slower so clearly something is not right. Thankfully we have a test tomorrow to find out what it was and make sure that we are in better shape for Turkey."
Kenny Roberts Jnr, KR Honda: 10th "Start was not too bad but I got boxed in by a lot of guys in front of me who were not going to be racing for the lead. Some of them were loosing oil Chris Vermeulen was dropping oil all over me. I guess I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. When I got clear of those guys the gap to the riders in front of me was too big to close down. The bike and tyres were great today but I could have been better if I had got clear of the group quicker but with oil everywhere you have to be careful. I have to thank the team for all they did this weekend, great job. Still, if you had said in November that we would have finished the first two races in the top 10 we might not have agreed with you."
Kenny Roberts Senior, Team Owner KR Honda. "We are still looking for the ideal base set up and we're trying too many things in a short time. You can loose your way a bit when you do that. We are also held back a little by having only one rider but all in all we have made progress so far."
Shinya Nakano, Kawasaki MotoGP, 11th: "We just ran out of time to fix the problems that we have been experiencing all weekend, so all I could do this afternoon was go as hard as possible and try and salvage some championship points. Our main problem seems to be a lack of traction out of the turns, mainly because the power delivery off the bottom is just too aggressive and this is causing the rear tyre to break contact and spin up. So, it was difficult to accelerate hard out of the turns, which reduced my speed along the straights. Even on the short straight between turns three and four, people were just riding past me on the throttle, while I was struggling to get the bike to hook up through the gears. It must be something about this circuit, because the bike has worked well throughout winter testing and at the first race in Jerez. After a difficult weekend I'm just happy we ended today with a points scoring finish."
Harald Eckl, Kawasaki MotoGP, Team Principal: "It is a bitter disappointment to finish outside the top ten as a factory MotoGP team. Our main aim now needs to be to go away from here and work hard to improve power delivery, driveability and top speed, so we can come back stronger for the next race in Istanbul."
Carlos Checa, Tech 3 Yamaha, 12th: "I am very happy with the performance of the Yamaha and the Dunlop tyres today. That is very encouraging for myself and the team but at the moment I am not fit enough to ride the bike and the tyres to the level that I would like. My shoulder is a little better today but in two weeks I will be so much fitter. The severe wind also made it harder to ride than I had anticipated. The team continues to improve everything about the bike and I am confident that after rest and physiotherapy I will be in much better shape to battle the way I desire in the races ahead." James Ellison, Tech 3 Yamaha, 13th: "I am very, very happy. We both got held up on the first lap when another rider crashed in front of us and without this I think the result could have been even better. I am feeling really comfortable on the bike now and pushed very hard throughout the race. I made up two seconds in one lap but then I got stuck behind Tamada and couldn't get past him for quite a while. The tyres held up perfectly for the 22 laps and were exactly the same at the finish as at the start and that is very encouraging. We got some points to start the season with and if I keep progressing like I am doing there will be even better results coming in the near future."
Herve Poncharal, Tech3 Yamaha Team Director: "Altogether we had a good weekend. The entire package – the bike and tyres – worked really well, going the whole distance. I think considering the severe winds and the problems that Carlos is having we had very encouraging results. Carlos fully-fit will deliver the promise he showed in winter testing while James is getting better every time he rides the bike. After De Puniet crashed it made it difficult for the results we wanted, but both James and Carlos fought through to the end like the determined and courageous riders they are. I'm very satisfied with the results and how much everything has improved since our test here in February. We will be testing here tomorrow with James only as Carlos will return home to make a full recovery and be fit for the next Grand Prix in Turkey in three weeks."
Makoto Tamada, Konica Minolta Honda: 14th "I did not expect to have such a difficult season starting. I'm not able to drive as I would my RC211V yet. It is hard to be fast in the corner without having the right feeling. I am sorry I have not had to possibility to give any satisfaction to KONICA MINOLTA, to Honda and to all team guys that are constantly working to create the best conditions."
John Hopkins, Rizla Suzuki MotoGP, DNF: "It's a really big shame with what happened to me and Chris - I know that he is as frustrated as I am. I got a great start and I felt extremely good during the first couple of laps and made a lot of passes. I felt like I could have got past the guys in front of me but then the bike gradually lost performance and that was it – it was all over. I am really disappointed, all my team and everyone here at Rizla Suzuki have worked hard all weekend and it's such a shame for all of us that it has happened like this."
Chris Vermeulen, Rizla Suzuki MotoGP, DNF: "I got a better start than I did at Jerez. I was baulked a bit on the first lap and then I lost a bit of time when another rider crashed. I passed Kenny Roberts Jr and I was up with the group in front of me, but then it looked like John's bike started to leak fluid. This made the track slippery and we all dropped back. I was doing ok and was in the 1 minute 58 seconds lap-time bracket but then I had a problem of some kind and the bike slowed down – I realised how slow it had become when another rider passed me doing about 100kph more than I was! So I just headed for the pits and that was the end of my race. We've all worked hard in Qatar and it was a big disappointment."
Paul Denning, Rizla Suzuki MotoGP Team Manager: "John, Chris and the whole Rizla Suzuki team deserved so much more than this. The effort that the crew and riders have put in this weekend has been incredible. Without going into detail, it has been an extremely difficult weekend. For John in particular today was very disappointing as his bike felt so much better than it had done all weekend. He made a good start and he was sure that he could catch the riders in front of him. Unfortunately, the performance of the bike tapered off to a point where it finally stopped. John was obviously visibly upset and after the weekend that he has had I don't think it would be human not to let some of that frustration out – and nothing more will be said on the subject.
Randy de Puniet, Kawasaki MotoGP, DNF: "I got a good start and I felt comfortable on the bike, but after overtaking Alex Hofmann going into the slow left hander the rear just came round on me. I don't know why yet; hopefully the telemetry will tell us something when we get the bike back to the pit box. This is the worst possible end to a difficult weekend for me. My hand injury was a problem on Thursday, but this improved throughout the weekend and I was looking for a good result today. Obviously I am disappointed to have crashed out on the first lap, but the only thing I can do is look at why it happened, learn from it, and then put it behind me so that I can concentrate on preparing for the next race in Istanbul."

Video Rewind: A Quick-look At PS3's "Flower"
Amanda here, bringing you a "mini-review" of PS3 exclusive, "Flower." Now, I haven't had the pleasure of downloading this title until very recently, but I was surprised at how many people have never come across it's "peaceful splendor," if you will.

Flower is one of those games because it manages to peak my interest and enthusiasm when I'm not in a "gaming" mood–that, in itself, is rare!

I suppose this means "@PerfectFolds" and I are becoming close companions on our descent into madness…I mean, sleep deprivation. The guy can't even spell properly anymore, as you've probably noticed. "someombody ened sto do something!," he says. I'm trying. I'm trying really hard to do something but I'm only lead further into anxiety and confusion. I've never envied detectives. I didn't sign-up for this. Who am I kidding? We've all willinglyRead more →By Amanda in Angel Life 4 Comments »
