On Tap Today: Bastille Days is back
Oui, it's true - Bastille Days is back - a free, four-day festival that will be anything but low-key. Starting at 11 a.m. today, the neighborhood in and around Cathedral Square Park will bustle with live music stages, an array of food options and Mardi Gras-style entertainment, including a parade. Look out for the float with Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI.
The fan-favorite Storm the Bastille 5k run/walk starts at 9 tonight, in honor of the mob rushing Paris' Bastille prison - the event that marked the beginning of the French Revolution. The festival ends at 9 p.m. Sunday. »Read Full Blog Post

my house
Even though I don't come on here often, I lurk the forum and felt like saying something.
In my eyes, while he wasn't necessarily a great part of S+M, DA was a big part of it. I specifically remember a great period of time where he was the only one who bothered to give out rates, even if they weren't exactly put in the nicest way, he was still trying to help.
I agree with Aero about the Tutoring Class I walked in on one day. It was basically one topic to the next, with about one person doing the main part and then about 5 other people just adding in random things, which wasn't a very efficient way to do it. If you were going to have one person be the main person doing the class, then it should have been only them talking.
Back back to what Aero was saying about Elf. To me him getting banned didn't signify the end of S+M/CBC/whatever you want to call it - it was in decline before that. But it did in a way. I don't really know how to explain it, but I'll try.
IIRC, a couple of weeks after his ban was when people started to get busy, school started up again, etc. and the people who were driving the reconstruction of CBC went with that. Anti and Wolf weren't able to get on for awhile they had, frankly, more important things going on in their lives than PC. And that's fine, real life should always come before a forum you post on on the internet, easily. But that isn't to say it didn't contribute to this huge drought of inactivity.
While the main people beyond the changes around here were gone, other people should have stepped up and done something about it instead of sit by and watch it fall into the state the forum is in now.
Like this for example:
This is a GREAT resource for the forum. It was posted 4 months ago and still isn't finished. Yeah, wolf got busy and all that, but all that needs to be done is getting rid of the extra lines on each CSS. And I know there are people who know CSS and could have easily done this at any time in the past 3 months. I'm not sure exactly what it is, but I'll just chalk it up to general laziness.
What Karp said is true. D_A was, for lack of a better word, a "symbol" of what S+M was. When sims, ABYAY, etc still posted here...what we are trying to get CBC back to. And whether you want to admit it or not, SM wouldn't have been the same without D_A, for better or for worse, regardless of your opinion of him.
But really this is what I think the biggest issue is with CBC. This forum still has a negative connotation around here and it will take a lot longer than you all assume to change it. Whether it was through our complete failure of a streak of DCC's that was essentially a giant trollfest, the sarcastic nature of the rates, often bordering on flat out mean and deflating, that caused people to not want to come in here, or whatever - it will take longer than you think to change the forum's opinion of CBC/S+M. And I just want to throw this out here too. It doesn't matter that we changed the name. I'd bet real money that people still view this forum as S+M, and still have a negative view of it given past experiences in here.
Frankly, this next part may get me banned on the server again or make nobody like me, but it's true. The biggest issue, hands down, with S+M/CBC was the mods. Nobody who was a mod seemed to care what happened in the forum, hence the trollfest of DCC's with mods actively taking part, often leading it the most, with everyone acting like DA's image about Sims was the greatest thing ever [when it wasn't even that funny, but that's not the point]. Stuff like that should absolutely NEVER be acceptable behavior from mods. And then on the server, when there was a rule about acting like a - to people, the mods openly did it, which signified to the members that it was fine.
And then it honestly was hard to take it seriously when the "nice initiative" was implemented when after a couple of weeks the mods, mainly DA, were doing the same stuff again. And that has to do with the mods not doing anything about the trolling, despite it being against the rules, ultimately leading to what happened with DA, and to a severely lesser extent, myself.
Black and White came out in the US in March. The first thread about changing S+M/CBC was in January/February. Frankly, it's been 8-9 months and the forum is in the same sad state it was back then.
I'm not summarizing it. Read it. It's important and has a lot of things in there that people won't say because they're scared of repercussions.

The LG G3 trails rival flagships in our battery test
0. phoneArena 09 Jun 2014, 03:04 posted on
With the official introduction of the LG G3, many were anxious to hear to about how it, in turn, handles itself when it comes to endurance, and not least because of it's large and extraordinarily pixel-dense, Quad HD (1440 x 2560) pixel resolution IPS display. Well, the numbers are in, and the results are rather disappointing
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
11. NokiaFTW (Posts: 2071; Member since: 24 Oct 2012)
The G3 dethrones the S5 in everything, except sales. But sales doesn't tell the whole story. I wish LG would make WP version of the G3 soon. :D
38. UglyFrank (Posts: 1655; Member since: 23 Jan 2014)
The only areas it wins in are screen res and design.
43. ihavenoname (Posts: 1693; Member since: 18 Aug 2013)
And software (new Touchwiz is fugly and gimmicky). Also G3 is said to feel more premium than S5.
54. Ishmeet (Posts: 111; Member since: 16 Sep 2013)
Ever heard of Sales strategy? Samsung has a sales in tens of millions, and in those more than 60% people are not advanced users, well most even don't know what XDA is, and if you expect Samsung to change UI with every iteration, it will just alienate those users from how they are used to their device's performance and layout.Touchwiz in S5 already has a good enough overhaul to accommodate all the users to a flatter UI, no matter professional dev or first time Smartphone user, they'll feel at home with the UI and layout+functionality when they pickup a new one.
48. StraightEdgeNexus (Posts: 3689; Member since: 14 Feb 2014)
Not in screen too, it has a laughable contrast(709) vs. S5's(infinity), G3 blacks(109) vs. S5(perfect 0). G3 is flop overhyped phone.
13. shead202 (Posts: 50; Member since: 02 Nov 2013)
Here comes the Samsung defense force saying how much the G3 sucks because of how insecure they feel.
14. MINDoSOUL (Posts: 149; Member since: 28 Feb 2014)
I don't think "obliterates" is the right description to be used, after all we are talking about a difference in minutes. But i am happy for LG, i hope the competition start focusing on battery more and more and start giving us better and better devices.
17. take1sub (Posts: 15; Member since: 24 Jan 2014)
Not just GSMArena, there's whole lot reviews by "real" Korean G3 user that G3's battery performance is poor.
18. Ahsan (Posts: 37; Member since: 09 Jun 2011)
Since last year PA has a close relation with LG. Check GA and their LG G3 battery's score.
22. pyradark (Posts: 857; Member since: 10 Jun 2012)
Maybe they test it under 0 brightness hahaha
32. pwnarena (Posts: 1129; Member since: 15 Feb 2013)
the phone's screen wasn't running when the test was being undertaken.
25. Cicero (Posts: 870; Member since: 22 Jan 2014)
Good to see LG implemented a good solution for power management for the new QHD screen. My respect.

55. Ishmeet (Posts: 111; Member since: 16 Sep 2013)
Probably you never read the reviews from other sites, or maybe you are a 12 year old who got an LG in hand for the first time, as can be justified with all the capital letters in your comment.
And yes, GsmArena really has unbiased reviews for every device, and they never bash any device no matter how bad or expensive it is, they justify why you would want to buy a device and why not.
63. LGisgood (Posts: 833; Member since: 23 Jun 2012)
Gsmaraena is the BIGGEST BIASED Tech Site existing in this World!
just look at thier Z2 VS S5 Comparison
im an LG Fan but i do believe Z2 killed S5 in almost every aspects!
GsmArena is BIAS !
89. farhad_per (banned) (Posts: 128; Member since: 26 Mar 2014)
Why you feel so insecure. ? How old are u kid.? How many years do you know gsmarena. ? It's the oldest site that reviewing and they never get any phone that stupid scores..they are 100% fair.. they always leave the final decision for customers but they truly say the pros and cons... did you see G2 review...the G2 battery life was the best last year and gsmarena.com admitted that..web browsing and video play back both above 11 hours..so you and other lg fans don't act like kids with these childish comments.
95. LGisgood (Posts: 833; Member since: 23 Jun 2012)
YES GsmaArena IS THE WORST Tech site.
BIAS always sponsored by Samsung...
115. aahfeekiee (Posts: 1; Member since: 29 Jan 2013)
Pointing out the age that you assume somebody is doesn't invalidate what they have to say. You're an adult and clearly you don't know your stuff either.
GSMArena, like many other review sites are naturally biased. Not always because they have sponsored editorials now and then, but given different circumstances they get preconceived ideas about what the new device would be like. Everyone rushes to get their preproduction units and then they conclude with a half assed review. Then different reviewers use different techniques to get their scores and everything comes out in a mixed bag.
Just bear in mind that Samsung has a consistent track record of manipulating benchmark scores. So you trying to validate yourself with a Note II as your display picture won't garner you much applause. Peace.

Before you post again, whether here or on any other forum: 1) Do not write all in capitals. It makes it look like you are screaming. 2) Stop truncating words for no apparent reason. It makes you look like a simpleton.

nd u all go check out android central nd verge they too have reviewed the phn nd have been getting great battery life even though they have been using the phn on 4g
29. sks1969 (Posts: 91; Member since: 04 Mar 2012)
I stopped trusting these sites for the following reasons.
1. the method used to test is not fully described, run a custom script, b*&llsh**4t, what does the script do? post the script out here so that we can verify if the result is the same?
2. Manufacturers like Samsung release phones with same name but different chipsets in different markets and these tests do not correctly indicate the region and model name.
The battery life of the South Asian galaxy S 3/4/5 is a really lousy when compared to the Korean or US version.
3. the tests do not measure standby time.
96. Odiin (Posts: 340; Member since: 23 Apr 2013)
+1 well said
n completely agree with your 2nd comment,
109. DerryAhmad (Posts: 278; Member since: 05 May 2012)
Agreed on all points.
1. PA need to describe/explain their battery method.
2. I can confirm this as well. My GS4 had a really bad battery life (SE Asia - Exynos chipset) and my friend keeps complaining on his GS5 bad battery life (Exynos chipset) not to mention often getting hot.
3. Standyby time and usage time are equally important in measuring real life conditions (hence I tend to agree with GSMArena method).
31. pwnarena (Posts: 1129; Member since: 15 Feb 2013)
goes to show how phonearena's script is maliciously inaccurate.
come on ... do you really activate the screen when running your test? that result is simply unbelievable. gsmarena got below 7 hours of web browsing, around half of samsung s5's performance. that's just incredible.
please do a real test of how long can it play a video, how long can it take phone calls, and how long it can browse the web.
33. vuyonc (Posts: 1014; Member since: 24 Feb 2014)
I'll take this with a tiny grain of salt. On one or two sites, the M8 did slightly better than the GS5 and Z2 in video playback. Judging by other sites and reviewers, kudos to LG for... not bad battery life?
37. nbringer (Posts: 180; Member since: 11 Sep 2012)
The moral of the story: removable batteries are better in all respects.
And that average iPhone is the one who should do something about the battery.
77. redbaronk12 (Posts: 89; Member since: 14 Dec 2013)
I am a long time android user but I have nothing against Apple. The battery on the iPhone is probably average because the phone is so small. I expect the iPhone 6 with its larger sizes will have better battery life.
39. rahul.niks (Posts: 86; Member since: 31 Oct 2013)
First of all, i am no hater or a fan but to all those who say they are, please check other reviews too, and i found g3 to be having a good battery life, yes i know s5 upsm is great but we are not talking of a feature phone, do we?(as upsm makes u to only call and text) So in smartphone category, by all those reviews i read(at least 7) i concluded g3 is a very decent phone on battery life even with 5.5 inch QHD screen, why don't u see that this phone has a relatively big screen and a smaller battery, and if these stats on PA are true, then it is the king and i am going to ditch my m7 for this.

Why all sammy fans are feeling jealous.... :-\
45. refillable (Posts: 1046; Member since: 10 Mar 2014)
I don't know how trusted these tests are, but I felt regretful that I took these tests seriously in the past.
However, I'm pretty positive that the G3 is going to give the same battery life levels as the S5 in terms of moderate 'real life' usage. Despite the bigger res.
73. LGisgood (Posts: 833; Member since: 23 Jun 2012)
"LG G3 has longer battery life over S5"
LG is always better than Samsung in Actual usage!
LG is not that good in standby time!
LG G3 has better battery life than s5 based on my personal experience we did a test actual comparsion here in Korea using the same carrier provider !
for straight browsing S5 lasted for 8;06 hours
while G3 lasted for 9:21hours.
in video we watched the same two movies(spiderman & hunger game 2)for both devices s5 & g3
s5 wentdown @ 21% while G3 @ 32%
92. refillable (Posts: 1046; Member since: 10 Mar 2014)
1. Stop The Caps
2. Stop Repeating, ads and spam in the comment section is prohibited
3. LG/Samsung aren't proved to have that Standbytime/actual usage lvl
4. I might trust your testings, but I'll take it as a molecule of salt
47. Desmortibus (Posts: 66; Member since: 04 Apr 2014)
Once again, I don't understand the polemic and the fighting. We should all rejoice when a smartphone performs well instead of immediately going mad... Whether or not the LG G3 is the very best performer in terms of battery life is irrelevant. No one can deny it is among the best though. Knowing the unbelievable drain such a 2k display can have on the battery, it only proves that LG has done an outstanding job on optimizing its flagship when it comes to battery life and for this only, it should be highly commended !!!....
51. R-vjn (Posts: 178; Member since: 07 Jan 2013)
Wow, sammy fans are going all out in here..!! I mean c'mon guys, why cant you just admit it...and by gsmarena, even if the G3 scored a total of 69 hours and S5 scored 72 hours, its not a huge difference, especially considering that the G3 have a 2k display..
btw, check The Verge and many other sites too..they all mention that the G3 is having great battery life despite that astounding high-res display.

I would like to understand a little bit more this test. The truth is that oriole uses the phone in a different way and, for example, the gsmarena test gives us an idea about these different ways as 3g call, video playback and Web browser. I'm not so interested in video so I would like to know specifically how much the phones last using Internet in general and some other stuffs.

58. aaronix (Posts: 15; Member since: 05 Jun 2014)
come on, its just a review. you want real result ? Buy LG G3 and use it. I have used almost all the flagship, none of it perform as review.

You really need to rethink your battery test scripts. GSMArena showed a complete opposite of this.

68. sbw44 (Posts: 433; Member since: 04 Dec 2012)
This site is never to be trusted when it comes to comparisons! Just look according to GSMArena the Lumia 1520 has the best battery performance, but PA does not even want to test it! Same with camera's the never include lumia's in their comparisons!
This site is an utter joke! the only thing they are good at are news gets posted fast!
76. LGisgood (Posts: 833; Member since: 23 Jun 2012)
GsmArena is the bias site!
check their Comparison between s5 vs z2
97. Odiin (Posts: 340; Member since: 23 Apr 2013)
Exactly dude, I want to ask same thing to PA.
70. dawheat (Posts: 2; Member since: 09 Jun 2014)
Did the author confirm that they set the same brightness across phones? Too many sites are lazy and 'set' the brightness at 50% and run their tests.
LG seems to be playing some games when it comes to brightness - at 50% it seems to be very dim with an aggressive ramping at the top to protect some screen temp and power usage issues.
Can the author share at what cd/m2 they measure and equilibrate their phones to?

No StandBy test which is critical. Gsmarena does a complete battery test not just handpicked ones.
85. LGisgood (Posts: 833; Member since: 23 Jun 2012)
GsmArena has a big problem in MATHEMATICS
Simple calculation
there is no phone can lasted @ 24: 54 HOURS on 3G TALK TIME
BUT in Browsing scored just 6;40 hours.
also GsmArena is the most BIAS site !
kindly please check their comparison between S5 vs. Z2!

Can't dethrone all until you do the test with the Droid Maxx and not relist the original Razr Maxx as the newest Maxx
110. preter (Posts: 14; Member since: 05 Jun 2014)
You're all missing the point.
There is no way to get an accurate real life phone use test. Everybody reads the same web page at different speeds. Nobody talks at the same speed for the same amount of time every day for every call. Nobody can text/email the same length of messages for the same amount of time each day.
Hence to say that GSMarena's tests are more accurate/realistic is BS. They can't even state the exact proportion of each function.
Phonearena's isn't either. But I favour tests that are objective. Run ONLY a video loop till it dies. Note the time. Repeat for only web browsing till it dies. Repeat for talk time only. Repeat for standby time only etc. etc.
This gives a an objective test of EACH type of function. Whatever your usage pattern, you know where you stand based on how much you use each - a composite test result which only you can gauge yourself.
113. murron (Posts: 160; Member since: 10 Jun 2014)
Can someone tell me what settings they use in the battery test? Things like screen brightness in nits and is 4g lte on and stuff like that.

117. preter (Posts: 14; Member since: 05 Jun 2014)
& the whole world is laughing at your over-priced, poorly reviewed trash with a crap & obsolete dual core CPU, no removeable SD card, 720p crap screen that doesn't even have Android Kit Kat even now!
Your battery isn't even removeable! After 300-400 charges, it'll be dead and you'll have a worthless paperweight truly fit for the trash. Empty vessels making noises...
118. kcipopnevets (Posts: 7; Member since: 14 Jun 2014)
-I paid $100, SO expensive
-This dual-core CPU runs rings around whatever you have thanks to optimization
-32 GB is more than sufficient for new, if it bothers you that much use an OTG drive
-720p is pretty good, 1080 is unnecessary and a battery guzzler you specs pig
-We've had KitKat for half a year now
-By the time the battery runs to dung, I'll be long overdue for a new phone, and the battery is easily replaceable anyways
Please study more. Knowledge is power.
119. preter (Posts: 14; Member since: 05 Jun 2014)
Yet another idiot who is too stupid to know what a flagship phone is and who is too cheap to belong here.
Released in 2nd half of 2013 with a 720p screen and with a dual core S4Pro. Yet it was rated as too expensive for its lousy specs by the reviewers - no sd card, no removeable battery etc.. Many users today still have no Kitkat updates - if you would only learn how to read - see the news from a few mere days ago.
That's a middling mediocre mid-range crap if you need somebody to tell it in your face. You don't even belong here GEDDIT?
Cheap skate low level users like you tell yourselves "dual-core is enough", "32GB is enough", "720P is enough" cos you know sh*t.
You're half-blind cos you can't tell the difference between 720P, 1080P, QHD.
Your're stupid cos you want to carry yet another thumbdrive to connect to your phone just so you can access your files?! Can you leave that connected while carrying your phone in your pocket? Can you move apps to the thumbdrive? Is that the best was to use Titanium Backup with a thumbdrive? How much weight and bulk does it add? How do you charge your phone when its connected u moron?
You're too dumb to even realise that we're all overdue for a new phone yesterday. The difference is you have to throw away your sh*tty phone when it dies after a year of 300-400 charge cycles. Probably when you are in the middle of something really important - like when you travel. You do get out of your cave do you? You're too dumb to google "My phone battery died now my phone is worthless and I have no phone for the next few days"? Are you another i-Crap fruit company product user in disguise? You are one of those idiots who like visiting service centres just to change a battery? How many morons are needed to change a battery? 1 moron at the service counter to issue you a service number, 5 at the customer service counters to tend to you and 10 in the backroom with screw drivers screwing you for an over-priced battery and service fee?
The rest of us just change the battery for $5 to $10 or less. It will have perfect re-sale value always because it can be switched on for testing. It will always function as a hand me down to somebody else in the family, It will always be perfectly good as a spare phone even when I buy another one. I can alway wait to upgrade to another phone that I really like while upgrading it with custom ROMs & kernels - not be forced to upgrade cos my phone can no longer switch on.
The ones who say its all the same are always the ones who don't know that there are any differences at all. Grow a brain before you spew.

You want to look and feel attractive; the right clothing can make you feel wonderful and this shines through your demeanour, stance and personality. The wrong clothing can leave you uncomfortable, insecure and uneasy – that comes across to others!
I will make sure your clothing sits well and looks great. I will also streamline your wardrobe and help find key items to mix and match with your revived wardrobe.
The end result is a confident and stylish looking you, who understands your colouring, body shape and natural style. From this you will be able to chose the clothing that best suits you to look your personal best at all times.
So why can't I just do this myself?
I have years of experience and know what colours and styles will not only suit you this season, but timelessly. It is almost impossible to objectively decide what looks good on you as your opinions will be swayed by memories, clothing you like on others and your own other various limitations.
It's an undeniable fact, no matter what your walk of life and whatever you are doing, your outfit represents you and will naturally influence others perception of you. By booking an appointment with me, you can be sure that you will look your best at all times by understanding what colours and styles suit you and work with your body and not against it.
It's not just style… it's a new way of living.

Since this is not a stock per se but a trust that gives out distributions, what are the tax consequenses as compared to stock dividends?Thanks.
PLEASE Help those of us who are not clear on thedifferences between working interest and royalty interesttrusts. What are the difficulties with the workinginterest trust verses royalty interests T and how do youspot the working interest trust. Any other help ineducating us would be greatly appreciated andtimely.Thanks!!!!
I did not know the difference in a trust fromworking interest though I can imagine the nature of thedifferences. Here are what I understand are royalties some ofwhich I own or have owned or will own againperhaps.Take care.molar61http://quote.yahoo.com/q?s=tru%2Csbr%2Cdom%2Clrt%2Cmsb%2Cwtu&d=b
Another tax consequence is that you aresupposedly liable for state taxes in each of the states fromwhich royalties are derived, for the portion of theroyalties you receive that originate in that state. SinceSBR has royalty properties in a number of states,this is a burdensome requirement that I suspect somechoose to ignore. My choice is to hold SBR only in taxdeferred or tax free accounts (IRA's etc) rather than riskthe liability and headache.
Another factor is "unrelated business income" (UBI).Income from limited partnerships and trusts which goes into an IRA is ruled by IRS to be UBI. If these holdings generate income of over $1000.00, will you not be required to file form 990-T and pay taxes, even though the income was within an IRA?
It is true that you get to deduct some amount fordepletion but the calculations are somewhat of a pain inthe butt, courtesy of your friends at the IRS.Surprise. There are two reasonable options: (1) buy SBR ina tax deferred account, such as an IRA or 401(k) soyou don't have to do the calculations or (2) buyenough stock so it is worth the trouble to do thecalculations.

Pia Cramling
|Pia Cramling
13th ECC, Kallithea, 2008
23 April 1963
Stockholm, Sweden
|FIDE rating
|2444 (September 2016)
(No. 9 ranked woman in the November 2015 FIDE World Rankings)
|Peak rating
|2550 (October 2008)
Pia Cramling (born 23 April 1963 in Stockholm, Sweden) is a Swedish chess grandmaster (GM). Since the early 1980s, she has been one of the strongest female players in the world. She has been ranked No. 1 woman in the FIDE World Rankings on three occasions (January 1984, July 1984 and January 1985).[1] [2] [3] In October 2007, well into her forties, she still held the third highest rating among all females.[4] Cramling regularly plays on the Swedish open team in the Chess Olympiads, one of only three women to do so. In 1992, she became the third female to earn the (FIDE) GM title through conventional tournament play (fifth woman overall).
Competing for International titles[edit]
Cramling is beside Judit Polgar (who elected to not play in women events) the only woman who earned her GM title before 2000 who has never won the Women's World Champion crown. According to herself, one explanation for this is that the World Championship is a team effort and that more prominent chess nations are able to give their players better support in important events.[5] Nevertheless, Cramling has been in reasonably close contention for the crown on four occasions (all in different decades). In the 1986 and 1996 Candidates cycle she came in fourth and third respectively, while she reached the semifinals of both the 2008 and 2015 Championships. She's had greater success in Europe where she's won the women's European Individual Chess Championship in 2003 and 2010.[6]
In 2006 she won the Accentus Ladies Tournament in Biel.[7]
Personal life[edit]
Cramling, married to the Spanish grandmaster Juan Manuel Bellón López,[8] lived in Spain for a number of years but recently moved back to Sweden. Together they have a daughter named Anna, who also plays chess.

....ever click on one of those links much less pay anything?
It is the same spamming ring. Yahoo issues them multiple ID's that they use to post, bump and rate their own scam messages. Supporting cyber criminals is a free Yahoo service. It doesn't take many suckers to make this whole scam profitable.
Because these folks have paid people with numerous net names, liking themselves and coworkers
Understood that there are paid spammers, but how do they get and justify paying 11 different ids to like one post when no one with any sense will ever click on it? How can that business model make any money?

Grand Theft Auto III to Cost $5 on iOS and Android Next Week
Only select devices will be capable of running it.
In just over a week's time, one of the most influential games of the last generation of consoles will be playable in its entirety on your phone.
As previously announced, the 10-year anniversary of Grand Theft Auto III's release (it came out on PS2 on October 22, 2001) is being celebrated with the release of it on iOS and Android devices. Only more recent hardware will be capable of running it, at least at launch -- additional support for other devices could come later. For the time being, you'll need one of the following to play it:
- Apple iOS Devices: iPad 1 & 2, iPhone 4 & 4S, iPod touch 4th Generation
- Android Phones: HTC Rezound, LG Optimus 2x, Motorola Atrix 4G, Motorola Droid X2, Motorola Photon 4G, Samsung Galaxy R, T-Mobile G2x
- Android Tablets: Acer Iconia, Asus Eee Pad Transformer, Dell Streak 7, LG Optimus Pad, Motorola Xoom, Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 and 10.1, Sony Tablet S, Toshiba Thrive
Grand Theft Auto III: 10 Year Anniversary Edition will go on sale on both the App Store and Android Marketplace on December 15. It'll be avilable for $4.99, half the price of what you can expect to pay for it on Steam on any given day.
Visually the game appears to look just as it did in 2001. The obvious catch is playing the game on an all-touchscreen interface doesn't sound like the most ideal way to play, particularly when there were complaints about the shooting aspects of the game when it was played on a controller. We've gone hands-on with it and Rockstar seems to be doing what it can to deal with the issues (one solution: only displaying buttons when they are needed), but your miles may vary when it comes to dealing with the controls yourself.
As of yet GTAIII is the only old GTA game confirmed for iOS and Android. While there would be a "technical challenge" in porting Vice City and San Andreas, ports of the two have been deemed "very possible" by Rockstar. I wouldn't mind seeing GTA2 as well -- Chinatown Wars showed an overhead GTA game can (mostly) work with touchscreen controls, and the Zaibatsu aren't about to help themselves.

i would assume a huge chunk of the ios install base is still on the iphone 3gs, but, whatever. i'd probably buy it if i had a 4 or 4s, but i can also imagine it'd be near impossible to play on a touch screen- if i remember, the original had me reeling in some missions due to the already somewhat cumbersome controls mixed with the need to be meticulous with aim/driving. even so, i loved that game. here's to hoping you can finally fly that plane- taking the wings off due to 9/11 was a farce (and before you call me insensitive, i DO live in the NYC subs).
I hope...Posted: Dec 06, 2011 12:00AM PST by chaosyoshimage
this comes to the Kindle Fire. I seem to be getting one this week and I've never played any GTA games. For $5 I'd be crazy not to try it. The mobile Dead Space seems to run on the device fine, so here's hoping!

As much as I like playing games on my iphone, I desperately desire a real directional pad or analog stick. I'd much rather have HD remakes of all of these games.

if it will be any easier to fly the Dodo. Because I got pretty good at that. Landed in Donald Love's back yard once. You can't easily get out, though.

The Phillies continued their week of madcap comeback wins, possibly fueling the belief that hope remains in a season that hasn't provided an abundance of memorable moments.
On a day that the Phillies signed lefty Cole Hamels to a six-year, $144 million extension, they also continued their late-game heroics with Wednesday's 7-6 win 10 innings over the Milwaukee Brewers at Citizens Bank Park. It was the Phillies' first three-game series sweep of the season. The three wins over the Brewers were by identical scores, and each came in its own dramatic way.
Trailing, 6-5, in the 10th, the Phillies tied the game on Carlos Ruiz's sacrifice fly and finished matters with Jimmy Rollins' second walk-off hit in the last four games, all wins.

Push to raise awareness of alzheimer's in the region
Thousands walk for Alzheimer's
More than a thousand people have attended a Memory walk on Tyneside to raise awareness about dementia.
The Alzheimer's Society says there are 34 thousand people in the North East living with the disease.
The walk was started by Ruth and Lesley Crowe, the widow and daughter of former Newcastle player Charlie Crowe - who died of dementia.
Newcastle man leaves £10,000 to dementia charity
A Newcastle United fan has left more than £10,000 in his will to fund research into dementia - because he was always scared of the illness.
Ernest Brown, who lived in Heaton, died at the age of 82 after a stroke. His great nephew Tom Hanson said his grandfather had donated the money to Alzheimer's Research UK because he had always worried about developing it, although he never did.
The charity thanked Ernest and his family for the gift, saying his legacy would fund 530 hours of scientific research.

75% fear care homes
75% of people in the North East fear living in a care home, according to an Alzheimer's Socierty poll. But Angela Drake from County Durham isn't one of them. She says she had excellent support from Bowburn Care Centre before her father passed away.
Kevin Whately's 'struggle' to find care home for mother
Inspector Morse and Lewis actor Kevin Whately and Karen Weech spoke to Daybreak about their struggle to find a care home for their mothers, who both had Alzheimer's.
Whately said too many people begin looking for a care home when they are in crisis and then become "stuck" looking at places that "won't do":
Charity calls on Government to improve care standards
A charity is calling on ministers and the care sector to work together to boost care standards.
They are asking for an improvement on public understanding about quality of care dementia sufferers are offered.

Todd just won the GOP primary in Indiana's 9th District, beating out early frontrunner Mike Sodrel. He's facing Baron Hill, who of course is best known for thinking that his first name is also his title. Cook rated this race as Toss-Up: interestingly, total GOP participation exceeded total Democratic participation in the primary, which was contested on both sides.

Peter H. Reynolds, creativity advocate and best-selling author and illustrator, and co-founder of FableVision Learning, has created a new animated short called The Testing Camera — a whimsical poke at high-stakes, standardized testing and a reminder that real assessment is as easy, and — at the same time — as challenging as getting to really know the gifts and talents of every child.
"We've gone through a very test-centric decade which, in my opinion, has consumed a lot of time, energy, and resources," Reynolds shares. "Many teachers have had to adhere to new mandates and measures that require a 'teach to the test' approach. Public schools redirected funding for art, music, theater, libraries, field trips, and more. It's a discouraging picture for those trying to reach all children in creative, engaging ways."
Reynolds, who is known for his books encouraging creativity, The Dot, Ish, Sky Color and The North Star among many others, penned this whimsical and poignant story about a young girl named Daisy who, dismayed at her art class being canceled, nervously faces her turn with the "Testing Camera." This huge apparatus snaps at her with a few blinding flashes of light. Weeks later, her father's reaction to the test results surprises Daisy in a most wonderful way.
"This is my gift to educators to remind them to follow their instincts and remember why they got into teaching in the first place: to see the potential in every child, to nurture those emerging gifts and talents, and to change lives," Reynolds shared.
The film was produced by FableVision, the transmedia studio in Boston founded by Peter and his twin brother, Paul Reynolds, author of Going Places and the Sydney & Simon series. The Testing Camera was directed by John Lechner with music by Tony Lechner, and animated by a team of young animators interning at FableVision for the summer. Broadway actor Chester Gregory lends his voice to the project."

For as long as there has been school, there has been cheating. And in many ways, the advent of the digital age has made plagiarism and stealing answers even easier. Some teachers will tell you that trying to prevent cheating is an exercise in futility. While it's true that you can't police all students at every turn, you can put some techniques and digital tools in place to help curtail problems while embracing collaboration.
Here are eight tried and true ideas for keeping cheating to a minimum:
Classroom management isn't like following a recipe, where you follow exact steps and end up with a beautiful finished product. It takes time, practice and patience. But these are some tricks I've learned that help move that process along:
Mystery Skype is an educational game, invented by teachers, played by two classrooms on Skype. The aim of the game is to guess the location of the other classroom by asking each other questions.
It's suitable for all age groups and can be used to teach subjects like geography, history, languages, mathematics and science.

I've gotten several emails after my last post and they all ended with the same line, "Where do I start?" It can be overwhelming to start by Googling "makerspace." What do you most often see? That stark modern space with expensive 3d printers. But that? It's not the reality of what making in the classroom can be. I know the constraints faced by many of us in education, and I've lived them before. You make do with what you have, get creative, and repurpose existing materials to MAKE making happen in your classroom. You gotta start somewhere, right?

This slideshow is how the No. 1 picks came out since the year 2000.
It is for people who are interested in the history of the first pick, concluding with a prediction of the player who is likely to be the first pick of the 2011 NBA draft: Kyrie Irving.
It will start from the year of Yao Ming in the 2002 draft and will be based on questions such as:
Where is the player right now (team)?
What are his current stats?
How was his history and reputation as a player so far in his career?
What position is he in now, and how is he doing overall?
Was he a successful first pick in the draft?
What are the awards he won, and did he win rookie of the year ever?
These questions will all be answered, some by opinions and some by facts (awards).
All stats are based on their most important ones and are rounded.
Please read through and enjoy.

Didn't see Enter Sandman in person as my buddy pregamed waaaay too hard, and I was forced to drop him back off at our hotel in Christiansburg before heading back into enemy territory alone (I did leave him his ticket in the room in the off chance he puked & rallied)... but thanks to the kind folks at ESPN3, got a pretty good feel for what kind of frenzy this creates in Lane Stadium at night.

If UNC somehow beats Clemson, Tar Heels would get the nod over Ohio State. 2014 Buckeyes are the case study of a conference champion getting hot late & getting into the playoff despite many protests.
The only way Buckeyes get a sniff is if Florida can somehow stop blaming Urban & beat Bama.
Differing opinions, I'm okay with.
Uneducated opinions for the sake of having one? NO MA'AM.
Fixed, thanks.
Two years ago, Luke Fickell was slammed for a similar comment after the Buckeyes outlasted TTUN 42-41 (http://espn.go.com/blog/bigten/post/_/id/90837/luke-fickell-gets-defensive-over-defense):
"What went wrong? What do you mean, 'what what wrong'? Did we win? Did we win? Did we win?"
The vitriol may have been just carry over from the FireFickell.com part of the fanbase (the two losses that followed The Game sure didn't help), but the underlying truth in Luke's statement hasn't changed.
Urban has reiterated that mentality in response to almost every question about the outlook for this team in the postseason. Of course, winning a title tends to give you a reprieve from coachspeak criticism...
2002 should have taught Buckeye Nation that lesson already, though: Just Win, Baby. But in this day and age of #HotTakes, it seems everyone wants the video game version of this team on both sides of the ball & the team has major issues when it doesn't perform as such.
An unpopular opinion at that. Thought the 11W community was better in allowing dissenting opinions, but I guess I better start drinking the KoolAid before I get downvoted to oblivion...
Let me ask you guys this: Why do we stop at red lights? Because it's the law? Nope... speed limit says 65, but we break that law daily.
But if everyone quit stopping at red lights, think we would have some issues?
Same thing with OVI. JT Barrett may have had one drink. But if we start letting the entire country start driving around after one beer, someone will get hurt pretty badly eventually.
I know college kids will college. But this is a time to teach a good kid a real life lesson, not worry about what other schools did in the same situation.
This is *The* Ohio State University. Why in the world are we looking at what lesser schools & coaches have done in similar situations?
Urban Meyer has the chance to set *the* example of how you deal with a team captain who made a decision that puts other people than himself in danger. Misdemeanor or not, JT made the decision to drink & drive, and then compounded the problem by trying to avoid the checkpoint. Not saying CPD wouldn't have still cited him, but the "cover up" is always worse than the crime.
I remember when I was 20. I made plenty of decisions much worse than JT did. But "with great power comes great responsibility".
An ideal scenario would be a two game suspension & the loss of the right to wear the C on his sweater (figuratively speaking).
Yeah, I think that's what he meant... Spencer on the block. Although, as we know now, Cardale was supposed to motion Evan in, so it's a wonder he even got there in time to take out both Bama defenders. I don't think Corey Smith was on the field for 85YTTHOTS, was he? Can't tell from the TV angle.
You will see Vannett involved more in the intermediate passing game now that defenses truly have to account for the QB run.
Play action out of zone reads with the backside TE releasing to the seam? Book it.
My post was more slanted to the people thoroughly entrenched in "why mess with tradition?" camp, seemingly oblivious to what 21st century collegiate athletics requires to be fiscally solvent. Endowments are nice for facility upgrades or scholarships, but it doesn't keep the lights on.
Also, one only needs to look at the number of concerts in the Shoe already this year , or the conversation re: alcohol sales at home games to know that maximizing each revenue stream is a priority for the university.
May want to review those lyrics:
FYI, this is not the entire Men's Glee Club... most likely just the ones that actually went to the game.
Ending chord is missing that soaring 1st tenor voice that colors the whole thing scarlet. But solid otherwise.
The Treadwell catch in the Ole Miss-Bama game just now was over the same Bama cornerback on the same side of the field. That guy is gonna need to start interfering more in the red zone cause all he does is give up TDs.

Dermatologists rely on clinical photographs to observe lesions over time and to identify surgical sites. Studies have shown that without photographs at the time of surgery, patients could not identify 17% to 29% of biopsy sites, and surgeons could not identify 5% to 12% of biopsy sites. With photographs, all biopsy sites were identified.1,2
Accurate labeling and secure storage of clinical photographs is a universal problem within dermatology. From 2008 through 2011, our department used prints of clinical photographs stored in the patients' physical medical charts. Photographs were sometimes missing or unavailable at the various clinic sites, so we stored digital images on a secure server. Authorized users could access and print images at any site (2011). These methods were time intensive, error prone, and had less security than our online medical record.
Our practice uses demographic labels with a Code-39 bar code to identify patient specimens. Bar codes are a validated tool for error reduction in many areas of health care.3 We developed software (in C# for Windows Desktop) that uses photographs of these Code-39 bar-code labels to identify and upload clinical photographs into the patient's online medical record, enabling all providers to view these images. To format images for this software, we photograph the patient's demographic label prior to photographing the patient (the label with identifiers are not in the clinical photograph) (Figure).
Figure. Clinical photograph workflow. EHR indicates electronic health record; PCP, primary care physician; SD, secure digital.
At our academic medical center, for two 1-month periods, before (January 2010) and after (January 2012) implementation of the bar-code system, we assessed the proportion of Mohs surgery referrals with a photograph present in the medical record. To quantify the effort required under both our prior systems and the current bar-code system, we measured time for associated activities. We measured the time to log and process clinical photographs using our bar-code software to calculate the total administrative time per photograph. We compared this time to 2 prior systems that our practice used: (1) printing (Epson Photolab Personal) and labeling 2 copies of the digital photograph (for the medical chart and dermatologic surgeons); and (2) manually moving digital photographs onto a secure drive.
To determine the electronic readability of Code-39 bar-code images obtained in our practice, we examined the demographic data extracted from 200 sequentially bar-code images obtained during clinic visits. The Fischer exact test was used to determine P values for 2 × 2 frequency tables; the t test was used to compare group means. Institutional review board approval was waived.
With our bar-code system, the percentage of patients with photographs available at the time of surgery increased from 84% (54 of 64) to 95% (73 of 77) (P = .049). Under the bar-code system, an average of 20 seconds of administrative time was required per clinical photograph, significantly faster than the 50 seconds per photograph needed to manually upload the photographs or the 77 seconds for printing the photographs (Table) (P ≤ .001 for both). The software automatically determined the correct identifier from 85% of bar-code images (170 of 200). The mean (SD) processing time was 0.18 (0.09) seconds per image.
Use of the bar-code system to process digital images significantly increased availability of photographs at the time of surgery and decreased the amount of administrative time required to archive and access photographs. Prior studies1,2 have demonstrated that photographs improve surgical site identification and patient care. Our software integrates photographs into the online medical record, which ensures the security of the clinical image and improves communication within a patient's health care team.
Our software requires no new hardware and automates the labeling and processing of most photographs acquired (85%). In 15% of cases, because of poor lighting or focus, the software was unable to process the bar-code image, but no cases of partial or erroneous labeling were found. When a bar code is not read automatically, the data are entered manually. Use of 2-dimensional bar codes or a laser scanner would increase the accuracy of a bar-code system but would require substantial capital investment.
Incorrect identification of photographs is a medical error. To minimize this risk, a written log is kept with each camera. The log has the demographic label, body part photographed, and number of photographs taken. This takes 7 seconds per clinical photograph (11 seconds per patient with an average of 1.6 photographs per patient). This log is submitted with the memory cards to an administrator who uses the bar-code software to confirm the identity and process the photographs, which takes 13 seconds per clinical photograph.
Many dermatology practices use bar codes in labeling pathologic and laboratory specimens. Software that uses bar-code data to process photographs into a pdf report is a generalizable solution to a universal practice problem in dermatology.

My opinion remains that Billy should remain as the coach for at least one more year as he has not had enough time yet to right the ship. I understand that if he is dismissed that not all of it will be about the performances on the court, but more or less the way he interacts with the media and his role as head coach of the Wildcats.
I say work with him on it and watch him improve. This man has been a winner everywhere he has gone, and I think with time he would put Kentucky back at the top of college basketball.
This man eats, sleeps, and breathes basketball and no one wants to win more than he does. Maybe I am wrong in believing that if given more time he will succeed. If I am wrong, I have no problem admitting it, but I really think at the current time he is still the right man for the job.
If a change is made, then you can expect to hear five or six different names thrown around for the job and maybe more. Billy Donovan, Rick Pitino, John Calipari, Travis Ford, and perhaps even other names will possibly be on Kentucky's short list.
I think maybe two or three people on that list would consider it. Donovan, from all reports, is once again Kentucky's main choice, but just two years after he spurned the Wildcats, would he reconsider and take the reigns?
Rick Pitino is the name that plenty of people in Lexington are pining for, and Rick has always loved UK and regretted leaving here, but no way do I think we see Pitino on the sidelines next year.
John Calipari has built a dynasty down in Memphis, and many really believe that he would be a perfect fit for the Cats. But with a past that includes possible recruiting violations, I cannot see Mitch and Lee calling Calipari and offering him the job.
Travis Ford is a man who gets what Kentucky basketball is all about, and many believe he would have the passion to get us back to the top. Will Mitch pull the trigger on a former Wildcat or look elsewhere?
No matter what happens in the next couple of days you can expect to hear anything and everything about what is going on. But until the press conference happens and a decision has been made one way or another, I choose to believe nothing.
When word does break, you can expect constant updates from me and what the decision means for Kentucky basketball.
