This location totally messed up my transmission. Went in for transmission fluid change. Soon after, transmissiowe blew. I gave them several chances after the initial visit to remedy. They ignored me. Then the transmissibrewers, they still didnt care.
I had another mechanic evaluate and he told me that when they changed the transmission fluid, they never changed the pan gasket and unjust used the old one! This caused the fluid to leak and dry out the tranny!
stay away from this place...they are ruthless and heartless

Bobby Corn March 22, 2013 at 12:11pm
I have tag #18 on my bag but am listed as 67 on the board. Not sure how that happened.
Someone didn't post scores. Seems to be a rash of that going on this year. The last match posted with you is 3/15 @ Central with you losing #2 to Mike Azimi, and picking up #67 from Ryan Watson. When and against whom did you get #15?
Sorry, when and against whom did you get #18?
Azimi went to #2, I got 18 from Watson, Watson went to 92.
since then Azimi and Watson posted and swapped the #2 & #92 tags
Matthew Luzny March 11, 2013 at 2:58pm
Yesterday i was given the wrong tag number at Alexander. I should have tag #52 and was given #71. We can swap the right tags around or fix it on the leaderboards and just change me to #71.
Matthey, I don't see a match posted for you yesterday at Alex (Sunday). I see one for Saturday (with Matt R & Ryan Watson). Who else was in the round with you?
David Bosarge, Rob Williams, Paul Knapp, John Baylor . 3/10/2012 .
OK, I've swapped you and Rob Williams. You now show #71.
James Alan Wiseman March 11, 2013 at 12:31am
Looking to challenge anyone at J.P.Mosely Monday morning march 11th, call or text me at 770-366-3763

Monday July 14 and it's time for the 2014 Home Run Derby. The Event will take place at Target Field in Minnesota, with a start time of 8:00 PM (Eastern). ESPN will cover the event. Each team's participants are listed below along with their odds to win the Home Run Derby.
Odds To Win The 2014 Homer Run Derby--- Giancarlo Stanton (+250), Yasiel Puig (+450), Jose Bautista (+500), Yeonis Cespedes (+500), Troy Tulowitzki (+650), Josh Donaldson (+1000), Adam Jones (+1200), Brian Dozier (+1200), Todd Frazier (+1200) and Justin Morneau (+1500)
The American League captain is Jose Bautista (Toronto), who's best finish was 2nd place back in 2012. This will be his 3rd Home Run Derby. Jose has 228 career homers, including 17 this year so far.
Yeonis Cespedes (Oakland) was in his very first Home Run Derby last year and he won it making him the defending champion. Cespedes has 14 Homers this year, but make no mistake he has some power. He has 63 career homes in his brief Major League career so far.
Adam Jones from Baltimore is next. Adam has been consistent in the homer run department, hitting 25, 32, 33 the last 3 years and he has 16 this year so far.
Brian Dozier, from Minnesota, will also be participating in his first home run derby. he has only been in the leag for about 2 full years. last year he hit 18 round trippers, but so far this year he has 16 already. He is deserving of being her.
Josh Donaldson (Oakland) rounds out the American League team and is yet another participant that will be making his first ever appearance in the Home Run Derby. Last year he hit 24 homers, playing a full season, and is set to smash that mark this year as he already has 20.
Troy Tulowitzki (Colorado) is the captain of the National League. This will be Troy's first ever Home Run Derby. Troy leads the National League in Homers this year with 21, but lets also note that 14 have come at Coors Field. In his career he has hit 99 homers at Coors and 77 outside of it.
Yasiel Puig, from the Dodgers, will be making his first appearance in the Home Run Derby. Puig burst onto the scene with the Dodgers last year and has been very fun to watch so far. Last year he hit 19 homers and has 12 thus far in 2014.
Giancarlo Stanton (Miami) is yet another first timer in the event. It's a shame cause this guy has some pop in his bat. He has hit at least 22 homers in each of his first 4 years, while having a high of 37 2 years ago. This year so far he is at 21.
Next for the National League will be Cincinnati's Todd Frazier, who is also here for the first time. Todd has hit 19 homers in each of his last 2 years, but so far this year he is at 18, which means he is one pace for 30+.
Justin Morneau rounds out the National League team. This will be Justin's 3rd home Run Derby, but his first since 2008, when he won it. Justin has hit 234 career homers, including 13 this year so far. 8 of his homers have come at Coors this year, while 5 have come on the road.
PREDICTION: I Am a fan of Puig's and would love to see him win it, but I don't think he will. I think that Cespedes has a good shot at repeating, but I will go with Giancarlo Stanton. He plays for Miami so he deserves something good, right. LOL I do think it is his time to shine and show the rest of the nation what he can do. Playing in Miami he doesn't get much National Pub. I would also watch out for both Brian Dozier and Josh Donaldson. I think both are sleepers and will put on a good show.
"Negative people will always try and drag you down to their level. Love them, but always rise above them."There may be people that have more talent than you, but there's no excuse for anyone to work harder than you do.
Nice job Jeff. I like Joey Bats and Frazier.

Disney Misses, Without a Hitby
In this economy, it's tough to come off a strong year. Last year, Walt Disney (DIS) was firing on all cylinders, with strong DVD sales for its Disney Channel blockbuster, High School Musical 2, and the hit movie Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. Without any large breakout films now, though, the Burbank (Calif.) company announced on Feb. 2 a steep 32% drop in first-quarter net income, as customers avoided its massive theme parks and ad sales tanked at both its ABC network and ESPN cable channel.
Diluted earnings per share for the quarter were 45¢, vs. 63¢ a year ago. The current quarter included a 4¢ per share gain from the sale of Disney's investment in two pay television services in Latin America. Analysts had expected earnings to come in at 52¢ a share.
The biggest blow came at the ABC network, which saw overall earnings fall by 60% as the company said sales declined at the network and the 10 stations it owns. ABC also took a charge for bad debts for a syndicator of reruns that went bankrupt, the company said.
Lower Theme Park Attendance
Disney's theme park company, which should have enjoyed a healthy Christmas season, instead was saddled with lower attendance, mostly at its parks in the U.S. Overall, the theme park unit saw its overall earnings fall 24%, to $382 million. The movie studio, which did have some hits with films like the animated flick Bolt, saw operating earnings fall 64%, to $187 million.
"We faced a challenging first quarter, with many of our businesses impacted to various degrees by the economic downturn," said Disney CEO Bob Iger. "We are forcefully confronting current circumstances while investing in the great creativity, brands, and assets that are Disney's strengths and keys to its long-term success."
Disney shares slid in after-hours trading.
In a conference call with analysts, Iger said the company would make significant changes in the way that it makes and markets films. "We need to be careful about what we choose to make and distribute," he said. "The cost of the system needs to come down."
Although Iger wasn't specific about the changes, he did say that it was likely Disney would make fewer films in the future and that it would take a hard look at the timing of its releases on DVD as well as whether, in some cases, it might be able to charge more for high-definition Blu-ray DVDs, which the company has begun to ship in large quantities this year.
In one bit of good news, Iger said that through the first month of the current quarter attendance is up by a single-digit percentage at Walt Disney World, which has a promotion under way that gives visitors three nights out of a week for free. At Disneyland, Iger said, attendance is up by a double-digit percentage. He also said foreign attendance is still showing an overall increase, although he wouldn't break out numbers.

GATCHAMAN CROWDS Leaked Opening and G-Suits Revealed
July 8, 2013 | Featured | 5 Comments|
Just found this on my cyber desk this morning. I know that our first impressions or this was less that favorable, but I am now personally starting to come around. Making this so dramatically different from the OG Science Ninja Team is quite a risk, but I do have to say this Gurren Lagann meets Tiger & Bunny meets Person 4 aesthetic really does have my actual interest, versus an anime that was a more straight one to one remake. I'll be checking it out. So what are your impressions now that we have this to see?

Hi All,
So I have a 2002 WRX. I recently had a remote start installed and ever since I have been thinking that the air flow from the vents seem weaker than normal. The tech was up under the dash and had removed the whole lower portion. Could there be any connection here? I am fairly novice when it come to cars.

TripAdvisor Reviews Hotel Alvalade Luanda
Travel Blogs from Luanda
Escorted tour of Luanda
I have been on many an escorted tour in my time, but Lauanda wins the all time prize, and has moved 'escorted' to another level.
We docked at Luanda early this morning. It is tropical so weather is gorgeously warm if slightly overcast. The port is quite large and surround with hills that are plastered with low level housing and townships. The centre has some modern high rise that we can see. The harbour is full of cargo ships, and some thirty or fourty more of them anchored ...
Domestic terminal
When I got over to the domestic terminal, they said my name wasn't on the list for the domestic flight. They said not to worry. They took my passport to the office and said they would get me on the flight to Cabinda.
They came back and I was able to get a ticket. While I was waiting in the lounge, I noticed I was on the afternoon flight and not the morning flight. I really didn't ...
... kinda a cliff to it..on top were house, all the way down the side of the cliff was trash..like a dump would be. yuk!
this week we have been painting the door frames..last coat tomorrow!!! Tuesday night we went to our house keepers room..they also sit at our table for morning worship. their names are ruth and arron. they had to single brothers over..victor and simon..simon is a hoot..he loves us! we were showing them pictures of us..and steve showed the face swap one..they loved ...
Our first meeting
the kingdom hall is right on bethel property...our first meeting tonight! we understood nothing..all portegese. but we made it through. lots of kids. they said it was a special hall because it has walls..most of the other halls are just a roof and benches. after that ...
Scratching underneath the surface of Luanda
... breakfast of cold cuts, bread and coffee.
We chatted for a while about Luanda and Angola in more general terms. I got to know more about the family and its history.
Mid morning, Aiuka and I went out into the suburbs of Luanda. What struck me immediately is how much building is taking place not only in the city centre but also outside. Huge estates (or condominium) dotted the suburban landscapes. This was the land ...

It's been a tradition for many folks to sit in their living rooms and watch New Year's Rockin' Eve on TV with the famed ball drop at midnight. Now you can see it for real for less than $200 and without fighting the crowds of Time Square.
OK, it's the ball in Dallas (a.k.a. Reunion Tower), but it's better than being on the couch and more frugal and less claustrophobic than being in N.Y.
If you want to start 2010 with a lavish meal, Five Sixty by Wolfgang Puck in Reunion Tower will be offering two seatings on New Years Eve. The first is from 5 to 7 p.m. and guests can order off the regular dinner menu. For the second seating, from 8 to 10:30 p.m., diners partake in a five-course prix fixe menu at $145 per person. At 10 p.m., a DJ will get the party started. There's also a buffet option in Reunion Towers private event room from 8.30 to 12.30 a.m. The New Years Eve buffet offers two options: $95 per person for the buffet, a champagne toast, party favors and a cash bar; or a VIP package for $150 per person which includes the buffet, party favors and a platinum hosted bar.
Reunion Towers Observation Deck will also be open for a New Years party from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Tickets $125 per person.

Carlos Teixeira from Vazio S/A Architects has arrived in London with a brand-new model for his 'Spiral Booths' structure (destined for the V&A Porter Gallery, alongside Rural Studio's 'Woodshed'). Here he discusses the spatial arrangement of the performance booths which are arranged around a central spiral staircase. The V&A is commissioning a number of theatre, music and dance companies to devise brand-new pieces of work for the structure. For the first six weekends of the exhibition, these companies will present a series of scratch performances – open workshops/rehearsals which audiences will be able to witness, with visitors and performers intermingling on the staircase and in the booths of the structure. In this film, Carlos is joined by my colleague Sophie Reynolds in the V&A Theatre & Performance collections. Sophie is responsible for organising the performances, and here she shares her thoughts on how she imagines the performers will respond to the structure and to the audience.
1:1 Architects Build Small Spaces (2010)
1:1 Architects Build Small Spaces was a contemporary architecture exhibition exploring the power of small spaces. Running from 15 June - 30 August 2010 at the V&A, a number of international architects were asked to design structures which explored notions of refuge and 'retreat'. These buildings examined themes such as play, work, performance and study and were built at full-scale in various spaces within the V&A.Exhibition curator, Abraham Thomas documented the evolution of the exhibition and offered an insight into the architects' design and construction processes.

HOUSE prices in Marylebone have risen by 28.5 per cent in the last five years and the trend looks set to continue, according to statistics from property website Zoopla.
"We anticipate that within the next five years, prices in Marylebone, NW1, will increase by up to 25 per cent as the area benefits from further investment. Values will come much closer to those in Marylebone, W1," says Martin Bikhit, managing director of Central London agent and property consultant Kay & Co.
"Buying now in a good quality development is likely to reap rewards in years to come and we are advising our investor clients to look very seriously at anything in this area."
Marylebone and nearby Fitzrovia are famed primarily for their Georgian architecture but some modern flats and mews houses are slowly emerging. Agents agree the beautifully manicured gardens and grand stucco-fronted town houses (many of which have been converted into apartments) on Montagu Square and Bryanston Square are considered desirable locations. The development of both the Howard de Walden Estate and Portman Estate have also been instrumental in regenerating the high street and creating a "distinct village atmosphere" that has been attracting buyers and driving up demand.
Claire Reynolds, head of Savills Marylebone, says, "In recent years, Marylebone has become one of the most sought-after areas in London. Not only has it established itself as a shopping destination, offering diverse boutiques and restaurants, it also offers beautiful garden squares, a wealth of cultural and tourist attractions, and the world famous medical practices on Harley Street."
An increasingly high concentration of overseas buyers are seeing the attraction of Marylebone, considering the area to be safe but vibrant, with a young demographic that is perfect for their children studying in London. With Oxford Street to the south and Regent's Park to the north, international buyers, especially from the Middle East, are being drawn to the area.
And if that doesn't convince you, remember that Sherlock Holmes lives on Baker Street, so you'd know where to go if anything mysterious happened.
1 Visit Sherlock Holmes' house. The world's most famous fictional detective lived at 221B Baker Street in Arthur Conan Doyle's novels and the address is now a museum.
2 Artisan food delicacies sit alongside British fashion at Cabbages and Frocks, a popular market that's re-opening on Marylebone High Street next month.
3 Regent's Park houses an open air theatre and waterfowl collection and it's on your doorstep. The John Nash-designed Royal park covers nearly 395 acres.
4 Harley Street has been famed for its private medical and surgery specialists since the 19th century and there are nearly 3,000 people employed in its clinics.
5 The Wallace Collection is situated in a historic town house. Browse through 25 galleries of 18th century French paintings, furniture and porcelain. It even has an armoury.
6 Marylebone Farmers Market hosts 30 to 40 stalls every Sunday in Cramer Street Car Park. It's made Marylebone village a top destination for foodies.
7 Soak up some culture at Wigmore Hall, on Wigmore Street, which was built at the turn of the 20th century. It's now a world-famous chamber music recital venue.
8 Preview the newest literary sensation at Hardy's Brasserie and Wine Bar. The restaurant specialises in literary evenings featuring book readings and signings.
9 Get crafty at haberdashery VV Rouleaux on Marylebone Lane. Described as "the Chanel of ribbon and trimmings", it has also been commissioned by Harrods.
10 Daunt Books has made an Edwardian building on Marylebone High Street its home for 20 years. It compiles reading lists and hosts a literary festival every year.

This compact city-state stands aloof from its bigger neighbours. Adrian Mourby takes a tour.
The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg marks its National Day next month, on 23 June - and this city-state is proud to be a nation in its own right. Luxembourg is an anomaly, a tiny corner of Europe that somehow managed not to get absorbed by its bigger neighbours. During the 19th century, France, Germany, and Belgium took more than bite-sized chunks out of it, but still it stands, a proud and almost inexplicably independent entity.
Begin your stroll in leafy Place Guillaume II, slap bang in the middle of the historic centre, which will host concerts during next month's Summer in the City Festival (21 June-14 July).
A monastery stood here until French Revolutionaries took it over. When Napoleon arrived he gifted this long rectangle of rubble to the citizens and in due course they created a public square named after William II, who as well as being grand duke of Luxembourg was king of Holland. An equestrian statue stands at the east end of the square, testament to the reverence with which he is held.
An aide to the Duke of Wellington at Waterloo, he ruled from 1840-49 and made the wise decision to stay in Holland and pretty much let Luxembourg get on with running itself.
Turn south down Rue du Fosse and right into Uewerstad to find the plain Gothic faade of Notre-Dame Cathedral. This was originally the Jesuits' church in Luxembourg but is now the focus for grand ducal marriages. Note the imposing royal balcony that is no longer used. The current duke, Henri, prefers to sit with his people.
Exit through the small western door and emerge on Boulevard F D Roosevelt, one of a number of streets that commemorates the American liberators of 1944. Immediately to the right is the sober Renaissance-style Bibliothque Nationale which used to be the Jesuit seminary.
Turn left and left again up Rue de la Congregation to enter the pedestrian area that links a number of medieval refugios that were built for monasteries, some as far away as Trier in Germany. In the event of siege or attack the monks could decamp to the fortified city of Luxembourg with all their valuables. Nowadays these stately townhouses are government ministries. Number 4 Place de l'Europe retains its medieval tower and is now the Ministre d'Etat, the office of the prime minister, Jean-Claude Juncker.
Turning downhill past the Chamber of Deputies, you come to one of the most attractive areas of old Luxembourg and a good place to stop for a snack or cup of coffee. Flowerpots festoon the entrance to Ilt Gastronomique, a block of restaurants hollowed out of an old fortified house known as Am Tiirmschen. Inside you'll find Michelin-starred Le Bouquet Garni , Come Prima and Goethe Stuff. Duck under the passage that runs beneath this building and you're into a little yard with even more places to eat and "Mir wlle bleiwe wat mir sin'' ("We want to remain what we are''), painted in gothic script beneath one of the bay windows. This has long been the motto of independent Luxembourg.
As you enter Rue Sigefroi, note St Michael's Church on your right and the National Museum of Art (free Thursdays, closed Monday) immediately opposite. This glass and stone box is one of the few modern buildings in the historic centre. Level 3 contains paintings from the 13th to 20th centuries. There's a watercolour of the city by Turner here and a castle drawing by Victor Hugo.
By contrast, St Michael's Church, prettier inside than out, dates back to the 10th century when it was built as a chapel for the counts of Luxembourg. Follow Rue Sigefroi down to Monte de Clausen, a road that links the city to Count Sigefroi's castle on the narrow Bock promontory. Although the castle was demolished in the 19th century, you can still see its superb defensive position on top of 48m cliffs that drop down to the Alzette river. If you now look back at the city you can see remnants of the mighty walls that made Luxembourg so difficult to subdue. It's staggering to think that only 10 per cent of the fortifications remain. In the end it was to stop the French and Germans going to war over this valuable fortress city that the Treaty of London guaranteed Luxembourg's independence in 1867 at the price of dismantling most of its defences.
Before turning back into the city look across the Alzette Valley to where Kirchberg is rising up fast. Luxembourgers call Kirchberg "Our Manhattan''. For defensive reasons this plateau was not built on until 1963. The skyscrapers contrast dramatically with the historic city: the future of independent Luxembourg.

It's easy to pick great willowherb in quantity.
It's an abundant forest-edge, new-clearing, old-meadow plant, spreading as much using underground root runners as using the extraordinary amounts of fluffy seed that the wind blows away, in autumn.
So I'm all out of great willowherb, Epilobium angustifolium. I use it a lot, not only for most any gut upset (including suspected candida), but also as a filler herb, where the taste of a tea blend might be just too much if not diluted a teensy bit.
It's also called fireweed, but that name belongs more properly to an Erechtites, so just forget I mentioned that bit, okay? Especially as an Erigeron (well, Conyza, these days) is also called fireweed ...
It's extremely easy to pick: just get a good grip of the stem, and gently yank it upwards. If you do things right you have the whole stem, without roots, in your hand. As it's a horde plant (never alone), you'll have oodles more closeby. I pick them here and there, thinning the crop, and end up with an armful or more in less than ten minutes.
There's two ways to dry the willowherb:
- bundle the stems and hang the lot up to dry; my drying setup involves two nails, two walls and a strongish line. This works very nicely if you
1: used strong enough nails
2: used a strong enough line
3: made sure the nails are solidly in the wall instead of in the wall decorations (like multiple layers of wallpaper on thinnish boards).
If you didn't use a strong enough line, didn't use long enough nails, didn't make sure they're solidly in wood or similar, your take will end up on the floor faster than you can say "oh #¤%(&!". I know, cos I've been there, done that, on all three counts.
This happens because stems of willowherb are far longer (and therefore far heavier) than the usual herbs that get hung up to dry: your setup isn't, well, set up to handle a burden quite this heavy.
- Or grab the stems, one at a time, at the top, and remove the leaves in a more or less fluid downward motion. After you've pulled up those stems, not while they're still in the ground.
If they're not in flower or flowerbud yet (and they shouldn't be: dried flowering willowherbs means one thing, and that's so much fluff in the air that you can't breathe) the tops of the stems are bound to be tender and are quite likely to break. Be gentle. Once you get down to the stronger parts of the stems you should be able to get a good grip.
A client who's likely to need willowherb is coming in on Thursday, so I'm putting this lot of stripped-off leaf into a dehydrator. If I didn't need dried herb in a hurry I'd hang the stems up to dry.
Drying willowherb in hanging bundles takes about 10 days. The herb is completely dry once the thickest stems break instead of bending. Removing the leaf from dried willowherb stems is easier than removing it from fresh stems, but you do need gloves to avoid splinters in fingers and hands.

AMC Networks (NASDAQ:AMCX) saw shares drop this week as the company reported fourth quarter and full-year earnings. The company has seen its shares in the spotlight this year with the success of "The Walking Dead." Can a new move that the company is considering send shares to new 52-week highs?
AMC has an amazing hit with "The Walking Dead." The show continues to be the number one watched show in the key 18-49 demographic on all of television. That's right, the show that is on the AMC Channel is more popular than primetime shows on network television. Now imagine that "The Walking Dead," the highest rated show is moved to another channel. That's exactly what the executives at AMC Networks have considered doing.
Rumors began to spread around the internet that AMC had considered moving the show to IFC or Sundance. That speculation was somewhat confirmed during the question-and-answer segment of the earnings call. Chief Executive Officer Joshua W. Sapan had this to say when asked about the rumors:
I think as we look at each show going forward, we evaluate whether there's some economic benefits, strategic benefit, programming benefit to either air it on a preview basis to gain sampling and make it more successful when it airs on the channel that it resides on, or if it makes sense, to have a different channel become the place that it goes on a post-premiere channel window.
So why would AMC consider moving the most popular show in America? The answer is of course centered around subscription revenue, advertising revenue and viewership. When cable companies want to carry AMC, they are forced to carry the other channels from the company. However, cable providers like Time Warner (TWC) are now fighting these unspoken rules and trying to pick and choose channels for their customers. AMC is one company that would probably lose out from changes to this normal practice.
AMC's smaller channels of IFC, Sundance, and WEtv struggle to maintain viewers and the cable companies are complaining. AMC could easily move "The Walking Dead" to one of these channels, but it would risk losing fans and also hurt its flagship brand of the AMC channel. Here are a few options for AMC Networks:
- Air reruns of "The Walking Dead" on one of its other channels.
- Air new episodes of "The Walking Dead" several hours later on other channels. The company reports that additional airings of the new episodes get millions of viewers.
- Show episodes of "The Walking Dead" on another channel simultaneously, thus counting advertising revenue from two sources.
- The least likely option is moving the show to another channel completely.
Here is a look at what the AMC Network channels command on average from cable providers:
- AMC $0.29 per subscriber
- IFC $0.21 per subscriber
- Sundance $0.16 per subscriber
- WEtv $0.12 per subscriber
As you can see, AMC does not generate a lot per subscriber from the major cable providers. AMC sees $0.78 for all four channels bundled together. By utilizing the strength of the number one show in the country, it could easily boost advertising rates, but also help to negotiate long-term deals and boosts the averages paid for its unpopular channels. To put this into comparison, Disney (NYSE:DIS) collects $5.50 per subscriber for the popular sports channel ESPN. Similar channels to AMC like FX and USA get $0.51 and $0.64, respectively.
The recent mid-season premiere for Season 3 of "The Walking Dead" set new records for the show and basic cable. The episode was watched by 12.3 million people, which made it the highest watched episode in the show's history. The previous high was 10.9 million for the premiere of Season 3. When counts came out three days after the mid-season premiere and included DVR numbers, over 14.9 million watched. Episode two had a slight drop to 11.0 million viewers.
Fourth quarter revenue was up eight percent for AMC. Full-year revenue increased 14%. National advertising increased 16% in the fourth quarter, and 17% overall on the year. Distribution revenue increased 7% in the fourth quarter and 15% for the full year. This was of course hurt by the lack of channels on DISH Network for a full three month period. Earnings per share came in at $1.89 for the full year. Fourth quarter earnings were down last year due to the DISH network impact, a pending lawsuit, and a $21 million loan repayment.
The biggest impact on fourth quarter and full-year earnings was the loss of AMC Network channels from DISH Network (NASDAQ:DISH).
Here's a look at what is in store for the media company's channels:
- AMC - "Mad Men," "Breaking Bad," "The Killing," "Hell on Wheels," new cop drama will premiere in the second half of 2013, "The Walking Dead," "Talking Dead" - a one hour follow-up discussion that airs after "The Walking Dead."
- WEtv - "Braxton Family Values," "Tamar & Vince," "Mary Mary."
- IFC - "Portlandia."
- Sundance - "Rectify" from the producers of "Breaking Bad" will premiere in April, "Restless" premiered in December, "Top of the Lake" will star Holly Hunter and Elizabeth Moss premiering in a couple of weeks.
AMC continues to focus on original programming to boost viewers for its four owned channels. AMC is the prize channel, but lately things have started to turn around for the company as a whole. In the fourth quarter, primetime ratings for WEtv were up double digits in the key women 25-54 target audience. "Portlandia" continues to do well on IFC and racks up an impressive amount of awards against strong competing shows.
In August of 2011, I recommended buying shares of AMC after their spinoff from parent company Cablevision (NYSE:CVC). The company at the time was a buyout target of mine. I think the company is in play once again as it has a lot of original programming to offer. As a Bloomberg article pointed out, a larger cable provider could do a better job at managing subscription revenue and bundling premium channels together. With the cable and television companies now fighting, a deal for AMC could be on the backburner for others.
I think ultimately AMC will only move "The Walking Dead" as a trial or air the show on two channels at the same time. This will help the company on all financial accounts and hopefully not mess with viewership or that hardcore following the show has built. Either way, shares of AMC are worth watching on pullbacks and buying in 2013. The company will see "Breaking Bad" come to an end in 2013, but has a bright future ahead.

hi ive one number plate light out changed bulb,swapped units and checked wires has anyone any ideas
Last edited by email@example.com; 17-01-2011 at 23:32.
Get a pencil tester and check you have power to the socket containing the bulb. If not, it is likely that the loom running up to your boot lid has some wires which have cracked inside. Common problem, happens where the loom bends when the boot is shut. Not easy to fix, but plenty of advice on the web.
Wires to check here...
Yes, as mentioned earlier, due to opening and closing of the boot it causes the wires to break on the e36 and e46. My number plate lights stopped working and the boot release wouldnt work. This happened at the same time. I read that broken wires could be the cause. I was reluctant to cut the rubber sheath between the boot lid and car body but i was running out of ideas. But after cutting revealed this...
I had to reconnect about 6 wires. After that it took the off the red number plate warning lights on the dash, the number plate lights worked and the boot realese worked. I wes pretty please.

st: changing limits of histogram bins
"Richard Hiscock" <firstname.lastname@example.com>
st: changing limits of histogram bins
Mon, 19 Mar 2007 17:42:37 +1100
I am trying to create a frequency histogram where bins consist of cuts of a variable (proportion of observations therefore range [0,1]) in 0.1 bins sizes.
In Stata v9 using histogram..., width(0.1) start(0(0.1)1) the bins appear to be constructed [0,0.1) [0.1 ,0.2) ... & finally [0.9,1]
Is it possible to change the bin limits (0,0.1] (0.1,0.2] so that the upper limit is exclude from the bin?
Or should I just reset the bin limits for example ...,width(0.1) start (0(0.10001)1) xlab(0(0.1)1)?
thanks Richard Hiscock

In May 2006, we wrapped up the largest case study of peer code review ever published, done at Cisco Systems®. The software was MeetingPlace® — Cisco's computer-based audio and video teleconferencing solution. Over 10 months, 50 developers on three continents reviewed every code change before it was checked into version control.
We collected data from 2500 reviews of a total of 3.2 million lines of code. This article summarizes our findings.
How reviews were conducted
The reviews were conducted using Smart Bear Software's Code Collaborator system for tool-assisted peer review. This article is not intended to be a sales pitch for Collaborator, so please see the website for product details.
Cisco wanted to review all changes before they were checked into the version control server, which in their case was Perforce®. They used a Perforce server-side trigger (part of Code Collaborator) to enforce this rule.
Developers were provided with several Code Collaborator tools which allowed them
to upload local changes from a command-line, from a Windows GUI application,
and within the Perforce GUI applications P4Win and P4V.
Reviews were performed using Code Collaborator's web-based user interface:
The Code Collaborator software displayed before/after side-by-side views
of the source code under inspection with differences highlighted in color. Everyone could comment by clicking on a line of code and typing. As shown above, conversations and defects are threaded by file and line number.
Defects were logged like comments but tracked separately by the system for later reporting and to create a defect log automatically. Cisco configured the system to collect severity and type data for each defect.
If defects were found, the author would have to fix the problems and re-upload the files for verification. Only when all reviewers agreed that no more defects existed (and previously found defects were fixed) would be review be complete and the author allowed to check in the changes.
Code Collaborator collected process metrics automatically. Number of lines of code, amount of person-hours spent in the review, and number of defects found were all recorded by the tool (no stopwatch required). Reports were created internally for the group and used externally by Smart Bear to produce the analysis for the case study.
Jumping to the end of the story
The reader will no doubt find it disturbing that, after setting up the parameters for the experiment, we suddenly present conclusions without explanation of statistical methods, the handling of experimental control issues, identifying "defects" that weren't logged as such, and so forth.
The length of this article prevents a proper treatment of the data. The patient reader is referred to Chapter 5 of Best Kept Secrets of Peer Code Review for a detailed account.
Conclusion #1: Don't review too much code at once (<200-400 LOC)
As the chart below indicates, defect density decreased dramatically when the number of lines of code under inspection went above 200:
By "defect density" we mean the number of defects found per amount of code, typically per 1000 lines of code as shown on this graph. Typically you expect at least 50 defects per kLOC for new code, perhaps 20-30 for mature code. Of course these types of "rules" are easily invalidated depending on the language, the type of development, the goals of the software, and so forth. A future article will discuss the interpretation of such metrics in more detail.
In this case, think of defect density as a measure of "review effectiveness." Here's an example to see how this works. Say there are two reviewers looking at the same code. Reviewer #1 finds more defects than reviewer #2. We could say that reviewer #1 was "more effective" than reviewer #2, and the number of defects found is a decent measure of exactly how effective.

The convenience of erectile dysfunction pills soon made Viagra® a household name.
As Viagra® is a prescription only drug, many men looked for herbal alternatives that they could purchase discretely online. This section looks at the most popular herbal versions, plus generic cheap Viagra® and Cialis®.
Viagra® has to be taken a while before intimacy, so we also look at popular herbal Viagras that are both fast acting and longer lasting, like Cialis for example.
Sex drive/more sexual energy £15.00
Many herbs have been used for years to increase sex drive and sexual energy. This section looks into the most popular formulations, their history and effectiveness.
Last Longer in the Bedroom £9.95
Premature ejaculation can be solved easily and inexpensively. This section looks at the easiest way to guarantee that you will last much longer.
Three approaches are examined: "Delay" creams, delay condoms, and delaying drugs that are combined with generic versions of Viagra®.
Natural Penis Enlargement £23.00
Many men wish to add permanent length and girth to their penis. This section looks at the most popular products available in this respect.
Two approaches are commonly used: Herbal formulations and what are commonly known as penis extenders/penis pumps. We examine techniques that are clinically proven to increase penis size permanently and also look at different penis enlargement systems and which are the most convenient to use.
Toys and Gifts
Visit our adult toy shop!
Shop contains a range of vibrators, fun toys like penis molding kits. There is also a selection and romantic gift sets for special occasions.
In this section you will find penis enlargement pumps, together with masturbation aids and a broad selection of glass dildos.
Prior to the discovery of Viagra®, the only option open to men with erectile dysfunction was to give themselves injections directly into the penis. This changed overnight when the first erectile dysfunction drug came onto the market. The word Viagra® became a household name, but more importantly allowed men to talk more openly about what is a rather embarrassing subject to many.
So the good news was that this provided a prescriptive pill for men to enjoy their love lives again. However many were still embarrassed about going to a doctor to get a prescription and then go to the pharmacy to collect it. Logically many men turned to what is often termed Cheap Herbal Viagra as this didn't need a prescription. To help you understand its action we will briefly examine how the drug version works:
What Viagra® actually did was help the medical profession fully understand the mechanics of an erection: Without getting into too much medical terminology there are two different things that it is looking to achieve: The first is that it needs to relax the arterial system leading to the penis. Such arteries have muscles inside them that can be constricted to lower blood flow and relaxed to increase blood flow. When a male starts to think of having any form of sexual encounter, the nervous system releases a substance known as nitric oxcide into the blood that brings about this relaxation of the arterial walls. (Technically it is slightly more complex in that nitric oxide stimulates cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), which in turn relaxes the arterial walls).
Once the patent had run its course, cheap Viagra came onto the market in a generic form made predominantly by Indian drug companies. So if you run a search on Viagra UK or or buy Viagra, you are usually directed to non UK sites, because it is still a prescriptive drug in the UK.
So part one of the herbal Viagra's function is to increase nitric oxide levels: Many herbs are clinically proven to do just that. However it is worthwhile pointing out that the active fraction of these herbs is normally very small, so a highly concentrated extract will bring about much stronger results.
Once the erectile chamber are allowed to fill with blood after this arterial relaxing (vasodilation) you ideally want the erection to go away again once you have "finished". The body therefore has evolved to produce an enzyme that breaks down the cGMP. That is the very interesting second step that a herbal viagra needs to have: It must block the enzyme that removes the cGMP. When the removal of cGMP is blocked, it effectively locks the blood into the erectile chambers and holds the erection for longer.
There is another aspect to erectile problems that does not involve the "plumbing issues" outlined above: As a male ages, his testosterone typically begins to decline. This decline simply stops him being in the mood for a sexual encounter. So unless you maintain youthful levels of testosterone, the effects of Viagra® cannot come into play, because it is ultimately the mind that kick starts the hormonal cascade that leads to an erection. It follows that the herbal viagra that you chose should also contain extracts from herbs that are known to increase testosterone levels too.
See Ultimate Max for such a formula: Click here. However there is one little warning that you need to be aware of: When testosterone levels decline, penis size decreases, so this formula may also increase your penis size too.

The Eagles (11-11, 4-4 Mid-American) led 37-35 early in the second half when Daylen Harrison, Bryant and Austin Harper hit three straight baskets to start a 16-4 run that made it 53-39 with 9:16 remaining. The lead stayed in double digits the rest of the way as Eastern Michigan held the Bulls (8-15, 3-6) to just 13 second-half points.
Harper added 10 points for the Eagles, who shot 47 percent from the floor and committed just four turnovers.
Javon McCrea scored 15 points and Will Regan had 12 for Buffalo, which shot 28 percent in the second half. The Bulls also struggled with their free throws, making 11 of 22 shots from the line during the game.

Did you spend all your money on summer clothes, but want a star's body? Try this simple (and free) park workout!
If you're like me, the last thing you want is to spend your hard-earned money on a gym membership. Luckily, the weather in the summer is perfect for using the great "outdoors" as your fancy gym. All you need for a workout fit for the stars is 15-45 minutes, some workout clothes and — if you're ambitious — a jump rope!
In addition to some new cardio moves, this week I also focused on heart rate. You always hear about "target heart rate" zones, but did you realize if you push too hard — or not enough — you'll not burn the maximum amount of fat? Since I wasn't on a machine that could help me count my heart rate, I tried out the MIO Energy Pro watch, which gave me my heart rate with just a touch. Check it out here.
Watch the video above and click here to get this week's workout. Plus, if you're in the Los Angeles area and want to kick start your own Summer Fitness Challenge, Body Fit: LA is giving away personal training sessions to HollywoodLifers!

While we're sometimes on the fence about consuming grapefruit (that bitter aftertaste!), we have unequivocally embraced it in our skincare routines. Yes To™'s Grapefruit line is designed to even out skin tone, resulting in a brighter, clearer, more luminous complexion. The Daily Facial Scrub gently exfoliates away dead skin cells, leaving skin soft, silky-smooth, and moisturized.
I really loved this combo of products. It smells like actual grapefruit instead of artificial, and a little goes a long way. The scrub made my face feel squeaky clean, and the serum really made my skin look even and made my pores look smaller. Not sure if it lightened spots, but I might buy it to keep trying it out.5

After a fairly uninspiring couple of days in Auckland, we decided to hit the road jack, and rented a lovely white Nissan Sunny (good ol Vinny we called it) for a cheeky road trip to the Bay of Islands and general Northland area......which proved to be the best decision yet.
After many variations on "oo let's stop here, this beach looks nice" and the Whangarei falls (the Paris Hilton of NZ waterfalls - not very impressive but apparently the most photographed) we finally arrived in the beautiful Paihia the main town in the Bay of Islands. The hostel was awesome and we embraced self catering as well as having our first night out and discovering kiwi bear at $4 (2pounds)
After suffering only mild sunstroke from our sailing excursion, we took in another of the Bay of Islands must dos, Maori extravaganza, Waitangi Day. NZ's version of history.....it's like two hundred years old!! Bless. Something to do with a signing of a treaty that's still being disputed today is nothing to have to have a song and dance about.....however that's exactly what happened and the Maori haka was incredible. Much fun was had between the fried food stands (NZ's seem to batter everything, with the run of the mill fish and chip shops offering deep friend scallops and mussels, tasty but wrong) and bantering George about being a BMW, Beautiful Maori Women. I personally want her to get a traditional Maori chin tattoo but probably for the best, she is not too keen
Sadly our time schedule meant we had to leave Paihia and take Vinny back on the road to venture to the west coast. Jen's excited sighting of a rare Apaloosa (some horse with a spotted bottom...yes we forget she's a horse geek) was to be only the start of the amazingness that is Ahipara, where we realised that after Paihia paradise was definitely not lost! We found truly the most beautiful "lodge" ...safe to say that if Carlsberg did hostels, it would be in the form of Endless Summer Lodge. Situated at the gateway of the Ninety Mile Beach we embraced chilling out to the max but not untill after a cheeky bit of sand-boarding on some of Ahipara's epic sand dunes. It was let's say....an interesting experience. Involving having to beat a tide from cutting off our route, probably getting sunstroke and burning our feet (eeep) as well as George's "slight" tumble into a conveniently placed patch of wilderness. There was quite a contrast between Wells' reaction of fits of laughter at the top of the dune and Jen's face of shock at the bottom (WHAT am i going to tell Cazza?!). All was well after George dramatically flung her sunglasses to the ground and strutted off into the sea to de-sand "I'm OK!" Lots of fun even if we did take a bit of bruising to our bodies and egos.
After tearing ourselves away from paradise, we ventured on to Omapere further south which made our selected sand dunes look hugely inferior
Unfortunately the stupid windey and extremely hilly roads came to an end and we arrived back in Auckland where we were met with our first bit of rain.....paradise lost.
......but not for long- Next Stop: Hobbiton *girlish squeals!*

Diabetes Drugs Evaluated by FDA on Pancreatic Cancer Risk
Diabetes drugs including Merck & Co. (MRK)'s Januvia, Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. (BMY)'s Byetta and Novo Nordisk A/S (NOVOB)'s Victoza are being scrutinized by U.S. regulators for a potential link to pancreatic cancer.
The Food and Drug Administration is reviewing unpublished findings by a group of academic researchers that suggest pre- cancerous cellular changes may be associated with Type 2 diabetes drugs called incretin mimetics, according to a statement today from the agency. The findings suggest the class of medicines may be linked to the risk of developing an inflammation of the pancreas tied to cancer and kidney failure that was previously reported in some of the medicines.
Doctors have been concerned that this category of diabetes treatments may damage the pancreas since the FDA said in 2007 it received a high number of reports of pancreatitis in patients taking Byetta. The agency issued a similar alert for Januvia in 2009. An analysis of insurance records published last month in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine showed such drugs may double a user's risk of pancreatitis.
The drugs in the class include exenatide, liraglutide, sitagliptin, saxagliptin, alogliptin and linagliptin. They mimic incretin hormones that the body usually produces naturally to stimulate the release of insulin in response to a meal, the FDA said.
No Conclusions
The FDA said it hasn't reached any new conclusions about the safety risks associated with the drugs and hasn't determined whether they may cause or contribute to pancreatic cancer. The agency suggested patients continue taking the drugs and talk with their doctors.
Merck, the second-largest U.S. drugmaker, is confident in the safety of sitagliptin, which is found in Januvia as well as the company's Janumet and Juvisync, Pamela Eisele, a spokeswoman, said in an e-mail. The Whitehouse Station, New Jersey-based company reviewed all the safety data available to them on sitagliptin and "find no compelling evidence establishing a causal relationship between the use of sitagliptin and pancreatitis or pancreatic cancer," Eisele said.
Merck will continue to monitor the safety of the drug with regulatory agencies and scientific experts, she said.
Merck reported $4 billion in sales, or about 9 percent of total revenue, from Januvia last year. The daily pill blocks an enzyme that breaks down GLP-1. Janumet, which combines Januvia with the older diabetes drug metformin, generated $1.7 billion in sales last year.
Bristol-Myers, based in New York, acquired Byetta last year when it bought Amylin Pharmaceuticals. Byetta, which mimics GLP-1, had sales of $148 million for Bristol-Myers last year, and $159 million for Indianapolis-based Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY), which ended its marketing partnership with Amylin in 2011.
Novo Nordisk's Victoza generated about $1.6 billion in sales, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Sexual harassment at Quaid-e-Azam University
Yet another shameful attempt of sexual harassment at QAU
Islamabad, July 11: At a time when 4-member probe committee is huddling over the alleged molestation incident (June 17) of a female student of Quaid-e-Azam University (QAU) allegedly by the controller examinations, another case of sexual harassment has surfaced.
According to reliable sources, campus when Information Technology (IT) department lecturer Noor Mustafa Awan allegedly harassed a female student allegedly for 'improvement of grades'.
The issue came up when a group of female students led by the victim submitted application against Awan with QAU VC.
The sources stated that a female student of MSc 2nd semester of IT department after taking the examination on June 27 talked to her teacher Awan (BPS-17) regarding low percentage in the semester and sought his help for 'improvement of grades'.
"She was asked to meet him alone in his office room to decide whether she will obtain 'A' grade or 'F'. When the girl entered his room, he allegedly grabbed his hand and tried to make indecent advances with her," the sources maintained.
"Just at the time when Awan grabbed the hand of student and she fled the room. Meanwhile, few passersby gathered outside the room of Awan to take up the matter but administration of QAU tried to hush up the matter, sources said.
The sources said the student later, rushed towards Natural Sciences Dean Qaisar Mushtaq to aware him about the issue but in the meanwhile she received a call on her cell phone from Awan. "Still you have time, comply with my words or you will be flunked", sources said. Adding salt to the wounds to the victim the faculty member warned the student that if she did not act according to his 'wishes', she, along with other fellow students would also be awarded with F grade.
The sources revealed that after this shameful incident the alleged teachers continued to harass other female student by different means and ways. So taking the bull by the horns, she on with other fellow mates the other day submitted an application with the vice chancellor for this perpetual shameful act.
Sources said this is not the first case of sexual harassment at the varsity campus, when the poor and helpless female students are forced by male teachers to fulfill their sinister demands. "Awan has been harassing his female students since he joined QAU but for the sake of honour, the female students did not reveal it publicly. He has been harassing female students via text messages as well," the well-placed sources told this scribe. This is the first time that a group of female dared and registered their complaint against baleful activities and filed an application with QAU Vice Chancellor (VC) Masoom Yasinzai.
An official of QAU said that the VC had constituted the same inquiry committee to probe the incident that has failed to reach to any conclusion of the previous harassment incident of involvement controller examination Sardar Babar. "The 4-member committee comprising Dr Saqib Ali (Chemistry Department), Dr Anila Kamal (National Institute of Psychology), Colonel (r) Nadeem Gill (Director Campus Manager) and Prof Dr Wasim (Department of Biochemistry) are to probing the issue. "This committee after taking less than a month has not yet finalised its report than how can it handle this new issue to resolve," the official said. The application submitted by the group of females of IT department demanded VC to immediately terminate Awan who has been creating restlessness among the students since long.
Few months back, to eliminate the increasing incidents of sexual harassment at educational institutions, the Higher Education Commission (HEC) had decided to take stern measures to implement the 'Protection Against Harassment of Women at Workplace Act 2010' in 128 public sector Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) across the country, but QAU has not done anything to form a permanent committee to deal with such issues.
To follow the policy of HEC at QAU, a four-member task force was formed with Prof Najma Najam as convener and three others Prof Iftikharun Nisa, Perveen Shah and Wasim Hashmi Syed to assure the provision of educational and working environment in HEIs free from intimidating, offensive and hostile behaviors.

Robert the caretaker is amazing and very dedicated to all he does.
The chef however could do with a class in cookery it was the only down part of our 9nights vacation....he had an excuse about nearly all his botched meals but I'm sure one can ask for a different chef ...I guess...
Otherwise my young children, husband and I had a fabulous time there, intending to go back in a few more months.

Martin Brill has been three-times named as a New Zealand Olympic fencing competitor _ but competed only twice.
Like so many in 1980, Brill was named to compete in Moscow but missed the Games when New Zealand boycotted the Games after Russia invaded Afghanistan.
But there was, thankfully, more to come for the epee exponent who returns to Wanganui for the New Zealand Masters after competing once at the Games _ way back in 1993.
He's a remarkable athlete, having won his first New Zealand title in the 1970s, and has won further titles in each decade since then. His appearance is a coup for fencing, which itself is making a return to the Games after being missing for some time. He has four opponents.
Christchurch's Brill explains his career: ``My career high point was being part of the NZ Olympic team to the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games where I placed seventh in the individual men's epee. This came after the disappointment of having been selected for the 1980 Olympics and not being able to go due to the boycott of the Games.
``I lived and trained in France from 1983 onwards. I was a late inclusion to the 1984 Olympic team [Los Angeles] and placed 15th, repaying the Olympic Committee with an acceptable first-time performance.''
He won his first national title in 1979 and has won titles in every decade since then. Now it's Masters fencing, which, he says, is a little different.
``I won the fencing when it was first in the Dunedin Masters Games [1992] and the Wanganui Masters Games [1993]. Two decades later while refereeing the 2012 World Masters Fencing Championships in Sydney I saw for the first time the styles and characteristics that make Masters fencing exciting and different to open fencing. It is simple. It is a return to the basics, the simple fundamental skills everyone learns at the very beginning. With age, experience and wisdom it is a powerful combination.
``Since 2010 I have being a Masters fencer, enjoying the challenge of refining my fencing, perfecting the basics, fencing with less strength, power and endurance yet still effective in playing the fencing game.
``I am excited to be returning to Wanganui. It is 20 years since I last fenced at the Wanganui Masters Games. Each year the Masters fencing is tougher.
``For the moment I have put aside the idea of defending the title I won last year in Dunedin. I am focused on my personal challenge, to fence to the best of my ability.''
To this end, over the summer he has been training with Quin Downs, the Oceania Masters Champion for 60-plus.
``We always have a good tussle. It keeps me fit, it keeps me interested.'' Footnote: Fencing is held on February 9-10 at the old St Georges campus, now the YMCA.-->

Thoughts on Flash - Steve Jobs
- [ Ignore ]
So, if Android can run flash effectively and garner share on this bullet point, why is Google converting the biggest video site on the web to HTML5?
HTML5 is better.
Android will run Flash. These are two unrelated issues. Just because Android phones run Flash doesn't mean Google is taking sides. Allowing Flash on Android builds the developer base but it does little (or works against) the user experience. That's not so much Google's concern for an OS over which it has little control over the hardware feature sets.

Opera also chimed in
Adobe has a new ad campaign:
This Adobe developer has some fair points about open competition from a consumer's POV.
Absolute Power vs. the Pirate Flag
The study of money, above all other fields in economics, is one in which complexity is used to disguise truth or to evade truth, not to reveal it. The process by which banks create money is so simple the mind is repelled.
Adobe still doesn't get it. Or just averts its eyes from the facts.
We all know the iPhone changed mobile computing in the huge way of having the OS, Apple's own apps, the (mostly) third-party apps in an App Store, and nothing else. No "haxies" or whatever you call it. No "add-ons." No "toolbars." No "plugins."
Really, it's roughly the modern-day equivalent of the simpler years of video game consoles: the system, and the cartridges/CDs that you put in the system.
When a company decides to make this kind of model, where the added third-party functionality comes in the form of the app itself, how did Adobe possibly think it could fit Flash into this structure?
A Flash app? Just so you could find your favorite discrete Flash programs on the Web? Uh…no.
Flash integrated into MobileSafari, as a built-in plugin? Well, no, because the App Store is the place to go for third-party software. Even Adobe knows that running a cross-platform runtime that performs acceptably in a full-power desktop environment will…not do so well in a pocket-sized device. Many of us still remember that Java cup that took some time to load and that the Java app was clearly less responsive than the programs on the desktop. That inherent loss of responsiveness and speed has yet to change even with non-Java/Flash web apps on the desktop.
Granted, using Flash to create standalone third-party apps isn't technically the same thing as relying on a plugin. But that itself is being technical, because really it is. Build once, run anywhere is the essence of Flash and all cross-platform things. I struggle to see much of a difference between something running in a Flash player and a standalone third-party app created in a Flash "wrapper." While the third-party app is more "native", unless it's specifically optimized for the OS or hardware, which doesn't sound like "We love authoring code only once" (from that new Adobe ad/attack on Apple), well, it just won't be as responsive or efficient as a app written in OS-optimized code.
If iPhone had turned out to be far less of a success than it really was, would Adobe care so passionately about getting Flash on the device and spreading the joy of "choice" to everyone?[ Edited: 14 May 2010 07:39 AM by Mav ]

Thanks, Steve.
I think the battle with flash is just a manifestation of Apple's desire to maintain control of the core of the system. It is obvious to me that Apple will be moving to a multi-core model for iPad/iPhone in the next generation. The ARM A9 processor is planned to be available from TI & Nvidia in the 2nd half of 2010 and Samsung's roadmap showed full rate production 1st qtr 2011. This would align nicely with iPad version 2. Apple has include GrandCentral Dispatch and OpenCL technology in Iphone OS4. This doesn't provide much benefit in a single core implementation so obviously Apple is giving developers time to re- architect their applications. The multicore processor with the proper software will allow Apple to manage the core's providing enough power when needed, but shutting down the extra core to save power. Much of a computers computing time is spent in idle states so this will increase Apple's advantage in battery life. By tightly coupling the hardware and software Apple will jump ahead of the competition with the best battery life and top performance. If they allowed Flash compiled Apps in 4.0 they would not take advantage of this feature. Of course Adobe could rebuild the code in CS5 but that might have to wait to CS6 because they are busy working on a feature for Windows or a port of flash player 10.1 for Android. Adobe and Apple's mobile strategies are not currently aligned. I think Adobe should be moving to HTML 5 output for mobile rather then spending money on newspaper Ads.

The end-user issues are: stability, speed, platforms and features. Adobe scores inadequately on speed and stability. (no idea on features.) (I'd also like to toss in security as an end-user issue, but I don't know enough about Flash vs. HTML to include security at this time.)
The company that invests for software stability will be rewarded.
I was glad to upgrade from OS 9 to OS 10.2. (though it would be nice to get Sheepshaver going here.)

I don't like this fight between Apple and Adobe. If you look at the fight between AT&T & Verizon, they are both being hurt. It is already troubling that there is no multiple expansion in AAPL which could be a signal for the return of the recession being a key stock unlike AMZN.
I don't know if this has been done, but they need an alternative to the flash video player. It is the biggest nuisance by not having flash. Maybe a hack which takes the video stream. Make a small internet gateway or some top 50 iPhone friendly sites. The iPhone has been around for a few years already and there is no Flash port. The Android is maybe a year old and they are having a Flash port soon? No wonder Steve Jobs is dissing Flash. Actually, I don't think Adobe should be making a Flash to iPhone converter. It would be better for Apple to be in control of it or at least developing it in case it is needed.
Marketing-wise, I would make Adobe seem like they are becoming too much like an OS maybe with web commercials like the Mac vs PC. Maybe team up with MS and push the open standard at the same time. It is one thing to talk about openness and another to give a viable alternative.
The ad, created to appear in several newspapers shows a great message of love for Apple and continues with the following message: ?We love the creativity, innovation, love, love the apps. What we love is not somebody take away the freedom of choose what they believe, how we believe and what they live on the web. ?

I enjoyed it
While Apple, Adobe argue, Flash at last comes to iPhone
Take a look at Cloud Browse, a free app which lets you remotely control a Firefox browser with the results streamed to you on your iPhone, (see below).
This means you can look at all the online ads, Hulu video, weird casual games or 'other' content you'll ever need, and you won't feel any impact on your iPhone's performance or battery life.
