Sensing an opportunity and a challenge, wide-area mobile broadband service providers and equipment makers are positioning their wireless data technologies as an alternative to Wi-Fi hot spots, with the promise to users of wider coverage and lower cost.
Though Wi-Fi technology has limits it has spurred general interest in wireless connectivity and spawned a growing population of multitasking laptop users who can be seen in cafes, airports, and hotels around the world, sipping coffee, having business discussions and using some downtime to catch up on e-mail. But now that Wi-Fi has piqued user interest in wireless connectivity, it may provide opportunities for alternatives.
"If consumers are given a choice between a service for which they have to find the nearest point, and a service that is everywhere, we think the everywhere service will win every time," said Chris Gilbert, chief executive officer of IPWireless Inc. in San Bruno, California. IPWireless sells equipment for mobile broadband services, built around a packet data implementation of UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunication System). "The best analogy I have heard is to pay phones versus cell phones."
Wi-Fi was designed as a local area technology and is not equipped to cover wide areas, support mobility, or scale as a carrier- grade network, according to Gilbert. "In urban areas Wi-Fi covers a few hundred feet, while IPWireless covers about two and a half miles," Gilbert said.
The largest cost with Wi-Fi is not upfront capital expenditure but the ongoing operating expenditure to backhaul all the access points, according to Gilbert.
Wi-Fi operators have to set up more access points to match broadband wireless coverage, and incur large backhaul costs since each access point has to be connected to T1 or DSL (digital subscriber loop) lines. To break even, then, Wi-Fi operators have to generate more revenue from each user than do operators of wide-area, mobile broadband technologies, he said.
Now, IPWireless' technology is getting a boost as service providers in New Zealand, Germany, Malaysia, and the U.S. have announced plans to deploy networks using its products. Other equipment makers for wide-area mobile broadband include New Jersey-based Flarion Technologies Inc., Navini Networks Inc. in Richardson, Texas, ArrayComm Inc. in San Jose, California, and Broadstorm Inc. in Bellevue, Washington.
"The benefit of these (wide-area mobile broadband) technologies over Wi-Fi is that you do not have to hunt for a hot spot, and you can get service where there is not a hot spot," said Tole Hart, principal analyst for mobile and wireless at Stamford, Connecticut-based research firm, Gartner Inc.
While it is true that the burgeoning number of Wi-Fi hot spots may reduce the relative advantage wide-area services, the wide-area technology can offer mobile voice and push-to-talk that will not be possible with Wi-Fi, according to Hart. Push-to-talk is a walkie-talkie kind of feature that creates an instant connection between cell phones, removing the need to dial a number or wait for a network connection.
Though speeds can be faster with Wi-Fi depending on the number of people in the network, it may not show up to the end user due to other bottlenecks in the network, Hart added.
Vendors of wide-area wireless technology that competes with UMTS are also jumping into the act.
For example, Qualcomm Inc., is positioning its CDMA (code division multiple access) technology as a wide-area alternative to Wi-Fi. While its CDMA2000 1X technology supports both voice and data services over a standard (1X) CDMA channel, Qualcomm in San Diego, California, has also introduced a data-optimized version of CDMA 2000, called 1xEV-DO (evolution data only) for fast data transfer comparable to cable modems and DSL connections.
Qualcomm's pitch is that without regional or national coverage and limited hot spot availability, Wi-Fi falls short of providing a true enterprise mobility solution. With ubiquitous coverage, 3G (third-generation) CDMA helps users stay connected to their offices, without having to worry whether they are covered by Wi-Fi.
"CDMA and Wi-Fi are two different technologies," said Hart. "CDMA 1x EV-DO can be an alternative to Wi-Fi, provided coverage is good. With Wi-Fi you know you are going to get good bandwidth, and you just have to find the right hot spot." Qualcomm's other technology, CDMA 1X, is too slow to be a good alternative to Wi-Fi, according to Hart.
Although mobile broadband wireless has some technical advantages over Wi-Fi, the ground realities are quite different, particularly with Intel Corp. throwing its weight behind Wi-Fi with an eye to selling more of its Wi-Fi enabled Centrino processors and chipsets, according to analysts.
Intel's aggressive push of Centrino on the client side and the emergence of wireless switching on the infrastructure side are the two major forces transforming the business Wi-Fi market in 2003, according to In-Stat/MDR, a technology market research firm in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Wireless switching architectures shift the management, configuration, and security functions of a Wi-Fi network from the access points (APs) upstream to a centralized switch. About 16 million notebook PCs with embedded Wi-Fi will ship to businesses this year, and by 2005, Wi-Fi will be included in 95 percent of notebooks as a standard feature, according to In-Stat/MDR.
However, the growing acceptance of Wi-Fi may be a good situation for all types of wireless technologies. Intel's strong backing for Wi-Fi is expected to help boost acceptance of broadband wireless services in general, according to Gilbert.
"We believe that Intel's huge push behind Wi-Fi is probably the best thing that could happen for IPWireless," added Gilbert. "The more that users are enticed to buy laptops and look to start using their laptops outside the office, the more they will want a true wide area mobile solution."
For now, however, wide-area mobile broadband service providers have to accommodate Wi-Fi users in their deployments.
"We see Wi-Fi as an important complementary technology in the LAN (local area network) market," said Bob Smith, chief executive officer of Walker Wireless Ltd. in Auckland, which is using IPWireless' technology to set up a wireless broadband network across New Zealand over the next three years.
"We are looking to integrate Wi-Fi into the local hub so in that instance customers would locally be connected to the hub by a Wi-Fi connection and IPWireless would be the wide area connection from a fixed point."
Down the line, Walker Wireless is looking at having one PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association) card that would have roaming between 802.11 and IPWireless on the card, according to Smith.

BEST RECORDING STUDIO The Hit Factory Criteria 1755 NE 149th Street
North Miami-Dade
305-947-5611 The digital revolution has enabled aspiring and professional musicians alike to churn out monster hits from their bedrooms. The technology is to a point where even novices can manipulate music to sound just as they think it should. But how does one replace recording in the same spot where James Brown spread his mojo? Where Stevie Wonder's voice reverberated with a groove forever etched into the walls? With almost 50 years of history, this studio has recorded some of the most legendary musicians: the Eagles, Eric Clapton, Fleetwood Mac, and even hip-hop heavyweights such as Dr. Dre and the 2 Live Crew. Those and many more have manufactured hits in one of the six world-class rooms. Progress may dictate that analog go the way of the dinosaurs, but many musicians will argue that digital recording is a façade, a tool to create the illusion of authenticity in the music. Sure it's cheaper, but at what cost to the soul?
BEST ACTING ENSEMBLE The Constant Wife Coconut Grove Playhouse The Playhouse's hit revival had so many fine performances, it is only fair to fully credit them all. Alicia Roper was regally serene in the title role, beautifully matched by Greg Wood as her duplicitous husband, Nancy Dussault as her wisecracking mother, and Dan Olmstead as her once and future swain. Take those delicious ingredients, stir in Ian D. Clark, Susan Wilder, Ursula Freundlich, Pilar Uribe, and Dan Schiff, and out pops one tasty soufflé of an ensemble show.
BEST ACTIVITY TO DO WHILE INTOXICATED Beer Pong Hooligan´s Pub & Oyster Bar
9555 S. Dixie Highway
www.hooliganspub.com Every Thursday night at 9:00 Hooligan's offers a chance for everyone (yes, the distaff included) to get their balls wet. On one of the Ping-Pong tables brought into the pub for this event, each contestant is required to arrange ten cups of beer (sort of like bowling pins). Opponents then get on either side and attempt to bounce a table-tennis ball into the other team's hops. Each time a player scores, the other team must drink. Because a person has to be pretty much drunk before indulging in such a game, a few misses are to be expected. This makes it even more fun, seeing as the ball will no doubt end up landing on the grimy floor a few times before plopping into its intended target. The object is to make the opposing side drink all ten cups of beer -- including any carpet lint, dust, and other fluff. Yummy.
BEST ACTOR David Kwiat Kwiat's performance as the dying oddball physicist Richard Feynman in QED (at GableStage) was in production a full year ago. Award competitions such as the Oscars often have short memories in such cases, but all these months later Kwiat's funny, touching portrait of one man's search for peace and meaning still resonates, an exceptional example of an exceptional actor's style: understated, deeply felt, and fully alive.
BEST ACTRESS Angelica Torn No doubt about it. This year's nod goes to Angelica Torn, who tore up the stage in her fierce, memorable portrait of poet Sylvia Plath in EDGE at the Coconut Grove Playhouse. Torn used a deliberately off-putting, disconnected persona to portray the troubled writer. But her flat, atonal vocal delivery and disheveled demeanor masked a volcanic emotional life that erupted in brief spasms of sudden anguish. The result was indelible: frightening, sarcastic, pitiable, courageous.
BEST AM RADIO PERSONALITY Bishop Victor T. Curry WMBM-AM (1490) Imagine your average radio talk show. A couple of hosts prattle on about the news, sports, and entertainment while occasionally taking calls from agitated listeners. Now imagine that wrapped in scripture and gospel music, and you'll have the wonderful Morning Glory show, which airs weekdays from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. with an extra two hours added on Tuesdays. Especially when it comes to controversial subjects, it's easy to get riled (a number of callers certainly do) and say to yourself, I wish I knew more about scripture so I could actually argue with the good reverend. That's the point.

Family Evacuation Plan
Plan Your Escape
Sit down with your family today and make a step-by-step plan for escaping a fire. Draw a floor-plan of your home, marking two ways out of every room. Discuss the escape routes with every member of your household. Agree on a meeting place outside your home where every member of the household will gather after escaping a fire to wait for the fire department. This allows you to count heads and inform the fire department if anyone is missing. Practice your escape plan at least twice a year. Remember, a fire drill is not a race. Get out quickly, but carefully. Make your fire drill realistic. Pretend that some of the exits are blocked by fire and practice using alternative escape routes. Pretend that the lights are out and that some escape routes are filling with smoke.
Be Prepared
Make sure everyone in the household can unlock all doors and windows quickly, even in the dark. Windows and doors with security bars need to be equipped with quick-release devices and every household member needs to know how to use them.
If you live in an apartment building, use the stairways to escape. Never use the elevator during a fire. Some high-rise buildings may have evacuation plans that require you to stay where you are and wait for the fire department. Be sure everyone in your household knows the escape plan for your building. If you live in a two-story home and you must escape through a second-story window, be sure there is a safe way to reach the ground. Make special arrangements for children, older adults, and people with disabilities. Household members who have difficulty moving should have a phone in their sleeping area and, if possible, should sleep on the ground level.
Doors need to be tested before opening them. While kneeling at the door, reach up as high as you can and touch the door, the knob, and the crack between the door and its frame with the back of your hand. If the door is warm, use another escape route. If the door is cool open with caution. Put your shoulder against the door and open it slowly. Be prepared to slam it shut if there is smoke or flame on the other side. If you are trapped, close all doors between you and the fire. Stuff the cracks around the doors to keep out smoke. Wait at a window and signal for help with a light-colored cloth or a flashlight. If there is a phone in the room, call 9-1-1 and tell them exactly where you are.
Get Out
In case of fire, don't stop for anything. Leave the building immediately and go directly to your meeting place and then call 9-1-1. Crawl low under smoke. Smoke contains deadly gases, and heat rises. During a fire, cleaner air will be near the floor. If you encounter smoke when using your primary exit, use an alternate escape route. If you must exit through smoke, crawl on your hands and knees, keeping your head 12 to 24 inches (30 to 60 centimeters) above the floor.
Stay Out
Once you are out, stay out. Don't go back inside for any reason. If people or pets are trapped, the firefighters have the best chance of rescuing them. The heat and smoke of a fire are overpowering. Only firefighters have the training, experience, and protective clothing and equipment needed to enter burning buildings.
Install Smoke Alarms
More than half of all fatal home fires occur at night while people are sleeping. Smoke alarms sound an alarm when they sense smoke from a fire, alerting people before they are trapped or overcome by smoke. Install smoke alarms outside every sleeping area and on every level of your home, including the basement. Be sure to test your smoke alarms monthly and change the batteries at least once a year. Replace your smoke alarms every 10 years. For complete home protection, consider installing an automatic fire- sprinkler system.

Sacramento Tops List of Best Places to Raise a Family
A new study is out naming California's 20 best cities to raise kids, and Sacramento is at the top.
As far as families are concerned, Sacramento is a destination location.
"There's a number of very unique events that were born here in Sacramento and that cater to families and kids, and those are always very popular, especially among families looking for fun things to do in the summer," Mike Testa, senior vice president for the Sacramento Convention and Visitors Bureau said.
Sacramento taking the top spot doesn't come as a surprise to Testa. He says the city on the river caters to families.
"And you see that by way of libraries, by way of youth programs and different things throughout the region," Testa said.
The study, published by Estately, also puts Sacramento at fourth for most preschools, day cares and libraries per capita, and the fifth lowest for cost of living.

Don't ask Robin Stanley his opinion of the EPA cleanup unless you've got some time. Plenty of time.
"It's been very difficult for us because the news media likes to sensationalize this stuff," says Stanley, superintendent of Mullan Schools, a tiny district of 162 students just east of Kellogg. "It's a heck of lot better to write a story about all of us walking around glowing green in the dark than it is for us to say, 'Folks, there's nothing wrong with us.'"
Mullan School District made headlines not long ago when the EPA tested soil beneath the schoolyard's swing sets and found "dangerously high" lead levels. According to Stanley, EPA tested the soil found beneath 16 to 18 inches of wood chips, as well as dirt underneath a thick layer of grass.
"We don't even let the kids walk on that grass, for crying out loud! But they [EPA] are going to come up next spring, peel back that sod, remove that dirt and put that sod back down," says Stanley. "Is that really going to make this place any safer for kids out here? Is that going to lower blood lead levels in Mullan? It's not. But that's their whole premise."
Stanley—who echoes many of Chenoweth-Hage's arguments—is that the EPA is not considering the pathways of lead exposure. Lead is absorbed by the body either by breathing or eating lead particles. Young children, especially those living in old houses with lead dust or peeling lead paint, are particularly at risk because they often neglect to wash their hands and have frequent hand-to-mouth activity.
Stanley further claims that most of the lead found in the valley is in the form of lead sulfides. Unlike the lead oxides emissions of the 1970s, which were easily absorbed through the lungs, he says sulfides are not "bioavailable," that is, absorbable by the body. He says that if EPA is truly concerned about lead exposure, it should focus its efforts on the hundreds of aging houses in the Silver Valley that still contain lead paint.
This school superintendent of 13 years says that the real problem his students face are not environmental but economic. With so many parents unemployed or on welfare, his district wrestles with a staggering student turnover rate, 25 percent in one nine-week period. The day we visited, the elementary school lost four students.
"What's scary about this is, I see kids coming to school and open up a lunch bucket with one slice of bread in there. That bothers me," says Stanley. "I don't see kids with lead poisoning. I see them coming with clothes that have holes in them and shoes that aren't protecting their feet from the cold because their parents can't get a job."
As for the often-touted statistics about Shoshone County's abnormally high number of learning disabled students—Shoshone has three times the number of special education students as any other Idaho county—Panhandle Health District's Cobb says that Shoshone County leads the state in children living in poverty. As a result, between 40 and 44 percent of the children who move to town arrive with special ed papers already in hand. Stanley says he sees plenty of disabilities related to child abuse, trauma, sickness, and blood-alcohol syndrome, but none, he claims, attributable to lead.
"For 31 years I have never seen one lead-related disability or lead-related illness in the entire school system. Not one," Stanley says. "Sure, there is a lead problem and we want this valley to be absolutely as clean as it can be. But there are two ways to kill people. You can kill them with lead poisoning or you can kill them by starving them to death."
Such sentiments are echoed by Dale Lavigne, a 69-year-old pharmacist whose family owns the valley drug store chain, Lavigne Drug Group. Lavigne's family's roots run deep in mining. His grandfather was one of 11 men falsely convicted of blowing up the Bunker Hill Mine in an 1899 labor dispute known as "the Second Battle of Bunker Hill."
"I was born and raised in this valley. I've been in the pharmacy business since 1953," says Lavigne. "I've never seen a kid in this valley who is what you really call leaded. These people who say there's mental retardation and all that? That is bullshit."
Admittedly, Lavigne is not an impartial observer of the business community or the mining industry. When "Black August" hit in 1981, Lavigne was appointed by then-governor John Evans to help sell the Bunker Hill mine. Lavigne has remained involved in economic development for the last 20 years and still serves on Gov. Dirk Kempthorne's task force on rural Idaho.
Asked what should be done with Bunker Hill, Lavigne is unequivocal: "I'd like to see the EPA get out of here. Completely."
Getting the Lead Out
There is bitter irony that the Silver Valley's most persistent gadfly on the health effects of lead contamination has no choice but to live in a house dangerously contaminated with lead. But for Barbara Miller, community lead health activist and founder of the Silver Valley People's Action Coalition (SVPAC) in Kellogg, it is one more painful reminder of the challenges you face when you take on the company mentality in a company town.
After a violent break-up from her husband, a member of a prominent family in Kellogg, Miller was thrown out of her home in June 1999. With little money to find alternative housing, Miller was offered shelter in nearby Wallace by two members of her group, Tina and Harve Paddock, who had moved back to Oregon after discovering that their new "dream house" in Wallace was contaminated with lead. The Paddocks say the sellers and real estate agent failed to disclose that the house had lead levels 260 times higher than federal standards, which is a violation of federal law. Their lawsuit is pending.
Since then, Miller has been charged with voter fraud in a school bond election in Kellogg, even though her legal residence is in Kellogg and her daughter attends school there. According to one Shoshone County prosecutor, he has never seen a voter fraud case in 24 years.
"If I were a single white male, there would still be some resistance to my work, but I don't think it would stoop to the personal level," says Miller. "I've had my water turned off and I've been thrown out on the street with my 11-year-old daughter."
Miller has been pilloried for her activism by the local press. The Coeur d'Alene Press (owned by Duane Hagadone, a prominent name in Idaho mining, tourism and real estate) and Kellogg's Shoshone News Press launch frequent attacks on their editorial pages against her and her followers, who are derisively referred to as "Millistines."
While Miller's critics charge that she has no following, I met with at least a dozen of her group's 300 members, who ticked off a laundry list of medical ailments consistent with heavy metals exposure.
"My husband and I know six people now who have died of brain tumors in our community," says Jeanie Smith, a 12-year member of SVPAC who grew up in nearby Cataldo, a community well outside the box. "Four of them were in their 20s."
Smith knows many people, including her husband, who suffer from fibromyalgia, a mysteriously debilitating disease common in the valley that causes severe pain but does not physically damage the body. She can't think of a woman her age who hasn't had a miscarriage, and knows one woman who had five. Mitch Killebrew notes that his daughter's friend had six miscarriages. She's 19.
I ask them why people in the area would be quick to dismiss or ignore such health problems.
"It's a hundred years of mining saying, 'If you're leaded or if your children are leaded, then you're filthy, you're dirty and it's your fault,'" says Smith. "It's ingrained in this community."

Stephen Drew also tied a franchise record with five hits -- he had two doubles -- in the Diamondbacks' 8-6 victory over St. Louis, sparking the team from a 5-1 deficit to snap a two-game losing streak. Outfielder Luis Gonzalez was the first
D-back to complete the cycle, doing so at Houston in 2000, and first baseman Greg Colbrunn had one in San Diego in 2002.
"To hit for the cycle, I'm kind of in awe. It's fun, but it wouldn't have meant anything if we didn't win," Drew said.
Drew, who remained in the leadoff spot with newcomer David Eckstein batting second in his first game with the Diamondbacks, used the whole field, singling to left in the first inning and tripling to right-center in the third.
His homer went into the seats in right, and he followed outfielder Jeff Salazar's pinch single with a ground-rule double to left field in the seventh to put runners on second and third with no outs. That set up Eckstein's RBI single to break a 6-6 tie. Drew improved his batting average to .289, the highest it has been since May 21.
Asked how locked in Drew is, manager Bob Melvin said: "Like on a 1-to-10 scale? Pretty close to a 10. It seems like he's getting hits every time he comes up."
"He's one of the most exciting players coming up in the game," Eckstein said.
DIAMONDBACKS 8, CARDINALS 6: SS Stephen Drew hit for the cycle while tying a franchise record with five hits and the Diamondbacks overcame a 5-1 deficit after to break a two-game losing streak. 3B Mark Reynolds hit a two-run homer to tie the game at 6-6 in the sixth inning after Diamondbacks LHP Randy Johnson gave up four homers in 3 1/3 innings. Drew's ground-rule double set up 2B David Eckstein's tie-breaking single to right field. Eckstein had two RBIs in his Diamondbacks debut after being acquired from Toronto on Sunday, also driving in Drew with a sacrifice fly. 1B Adam Dunn and OF Chris Young also had homers for the Diamondbacks.
--IF David Eckstein played second base and hit second in the order in his first game with the Diamondbacks on Monday after being acquired from Toronto for Class A RHP Chad Beck on Sunday. Eckstein, 33, has played 965 games at shortstop and 19 games at second in his eight-year major league career. But the Diamondbacks are not worried about the transition. "Middle infield is middle infield," manager Bob Melvin said. "More than anything, it's turning the double play, and that shouldn't be an issue for him."
--LHP Randy Johnson gave up four home runs to St. Louis before leaving in the fourth inning Monday, only the third time in his 21-year major league career he has given up four in a game. Atlanta had four off him on June 20, 1999, and the White Sox hit four on Aug. 21, 2005. All of the White Sox's homers came in the fourth inning at U.S. Cellular Field.
--C Robby Hammock and RHP Jailen Peguero were recalled from Triple-A Tucson on Monday, the first day major leagues rosters were expanded to include all players on the 40-man roster. Hammock will supply catching depth, and Peguero will lengthen a bullpen that was without RHP Juan Cruz (illness) and LHP Wil Ledezma and RHP Mark Scherzer (workload) Monday.
--OF Adam Dunn played first base for the first time since joining the Diamondbacks on Aug. 12 and OF Justin Upton started in right field Monday as the Diamondbacks attempted to change it up after losing six of their previous eight games. Dunn played first base for the first time since 2006, and Upton made his first start since July 8, the day before he suffered a strained oblique muscle. "We haven't had a lot of offense the last few days. I thought it was worth it," manager Bob Melvin said.
--RHP Brandon Webb has given up 12 earned runs in his last eight innings over two starts. He gave up eight runs in an 8-1 loss to Los Angeles on Sunday, tying a career high, although two runs were unearned. "Physically, he's fine," manager Bob Melvin said. "His sinker is running off the plate, and that's usually when he has his troubles. He's so good that he usually is able to make adjustments during a game to get through it. The last couple of times out, he hasn't been able to do it." Webb also tied a career high with five walks, although two (to OF Manny Ramirez) were intentional.
BY THE NUMBERS: 148 -- Consecutive days the D-backs have led or been tied for the NL West lead.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "'Webby' has gone a great job. He's done some amazing things. He's still human, no matter how super-human you're going to make him. You battle with him, because you know he's battling with you." -- OF Chris Young, after RHP Brandon Webb gave up eight runs, tying a career high, in an 8-2 loss to Los Angeles on Sunday, failing in his second attempt to win his 20th game this season.
MEDICAL WATCH: RHP Jon Rauch (right forearm stiffness) was unavailable Aug. 29-31 and was day-to-day. He pitched on September 1.

Patients for Patient Safety Workshop
London, UK
Patients for Patient Safety, one of six action areas of the World Alliance hosted a workshop for patients and consumers in London 27 - 30 November 2005. The workshop run in conjunction with the EU Summit on Patient Safety which the UK hosted as part of their presidency of the EU. Participants had the opportunity to attend parts of the summit and learn from global experts in patient safety. The opening day was held at the UK Department of Health, Whitehall and then the workshop was integrated into the EU event at the Queen Elizabeth all Conference Centre, Westminster.
Patients for Patient Safety is designed to ensure that the perspective of patients and consumers in both developed and developing countries is a central reference point in shaping the important work of the Alliance. Patients and their lay caregivers see things that busy health care workers often do not. It follows that safety will be improved if patients are included as full partners in reform initiatives, and learning can be used to inform systemic quality and safety improvements.
The workshop, which is just the start of the Patients for Patient Safety work, will bring together patients and consumers interested in working, in a voluntary capacity, in partnership with the World Alliance for Patient Safety as specially designated champions for advancing patient safety. Over time, its is envisioned that these patient safety champions will advocate on behalf of patient safety and the work of the World Alliance in their own country and region; help develop a worldwide network of consumers and consumer organizations active in patient safety and provide consumer input and perspectives into other action areas of the Alliance.

The Only Way Is Essex star, James 'Arg' Argent has been pictured looking very pleased with himself in today's Sun newspaper, canoodling with a mystery blonde!
Arg, who recently revealed that he was seeing a model, can be seen with his arms around the girl at his friend and co-star Ricky Rayment's Bar Blanco in the snaps, and at one point even leans in to kiss the girl, who can only be seen from behind wearing a white dress with her hair tied back, on the cheek.
Meanwhile, whilst Arg was apparently enjoying himself very much, his ex Gemma Collins, was apparently not!
All the gang had turned up to the club to film tomorrow night's episode of the hit ITV2 reality show but whilst everyone else partied the night away Gemma could be seen having a huge bust up with friend and co-star Bobby Norris.
Fans of the show will know how Gemma and Bobby recently fell out after Gemma said she didn't agree with Bobby's plan to have a surrogate baby as he wasn't financially stable enough.
This caused Bobby to accuse her of being unsupportive and the pair have been bickering about it on and off ever since, even though Bobby thanked Charlie King for telling him the exact same thing during Sunday night's episode.
However, the pair did seem to put their differences behind them on Sunday night's show with Bobby even admitting that Gem might have had a point, but from the looks of the pictures published today the cease-fire did not last long at all.
In one picture Bobby can be seen screaming and pointing at Gemma whilst Charlie looks on, and then in another Bobby can be seen weeping in a corner being comforted by a female whose face was covered, but we think it is probably a safe bet to say it wasn't Gemma!
You can watch all the drama unfold in tomorrow nights episode of The Only Way Is Essex at 10pm on ITV2/ITV2 HD.
Watch an interview with Bobby in the clip below:

Is it possible to swap an Analog Dash for a Digital one?
Printable View
Is it possible to swap an Analog Dash for a Digital one?
Yes. Assuming you are referring to an Allante, not a Seville as listed in your profile. The clusters simply plug in but they each require their specific surround bezel. There were changes made over the years to the clusters so an 88 digital will not work in a 92 for instance. When I had my 88, I would swap clusters every once in a while just to make the car different that month. The body computer holds the correct odometer mileage in hard memory so swapping in a digital will display the specific car's mileage. I preferred the analog because you gain a volt meter.
That's great and yes I was referring to an Allante. I just pulled the trigger on a beautiful Polo Green 93 and I love it other than the Analog Dash, I really wanted the digital one. Now that I know that I can just swap it out I'm pretty happy.
It has tan interior and a black top, I really want to change the top to tan. I wonder if I can just get the top dyed instead of replacing it.
The digital dash on a 93 is, I believe, a one year only cluster. Try www.allantesource.com for a exact answer.
I just purchased a 93 specific digital dash to replace my analog dash. The problem is now I need a digital dash specific surround bezel. My question is can I use one from any year or does the surround bezel have to be 93 specific like the cluster itself?
I think the surround is digital specific from any year Allante. Be aware that the analog odometer used a electric stepper motor to advance the mileage, the digital cluster reads the odometer from the body computer. You might notice a difference in whats displayed after the swap. When and if you swap back at a later date, the odometer will not be accurate, it will still show odometer mileage from when you did the swap to digital.
Sure, just take it to a speedo repair shop and have them set it for a nominal fee!

I'm asking for suggestions to upgrade my current headphones, something that would be a noticeable sonic improvement. I would use them for checking mixes and tracking. Those that interest me are the ATH-M50, Sennheiser 600, or Beyerdynamic DT-770 or 880. I own the following: AKG 240 – These are my favorite, they sound natural. Shure SRH440 – OK but too crisp. Bose Quiet Comfort 2 – Horrid, have too much bass.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Comic Book Masters at the Whitney Museum
Three of the biggest names in comic books gathered at the Whitney Museum on Wednesday evening for a roundtable to discuss the intersection of fine art and comics: Gary Panter, the auteur behind the underground Jimbo series; Chris Ware, the creator of Jimmy Corrigan; and Art Spiegelman, the award-winning creator of Maus. The panel was moderated by John Carlin, one of the curators behind the incredible Masters of American Comics exhibit that landed at the Jewish and Newark Museums five years ago. (If you're at all into comics, the catalogue from that exhibit is a must have.)
The topics of discussion at the hour-long panel were wide-ranging. The artists talked about the work of early cartoonists such as Winsor McCay and Lyonel Feininger (the latter of whom is currently the subject of a sprawling retrospective at the museum). And they discussed hippie comics and the theoretical perils of art school. Things loosened up at Minute 29, when Spiegelman began to rant about how irritating he finds the comic book appropriations of pop painter Roy Lichtenstein. The group also debated the merits of using digital media to create and display their work. Some of the artists embraced technology, others not so much. (Panter likened drawing with a computer mouse to trying to draw with a pencil sharpener.) Overall, the panel offered an honest, insightful view of how each of the artists visually arrived at some of their most important works.
Note if you listen to the audio of the panel above: Spiegelman is garrulous. Ware is self-deprecating. And Panter is cool as a cucumber. Carlin opens the session and is followed by Spiegelman. Ware's voice is a little high pitched, while Panter's is more gravelly. For the record: there was a bit of a problem with the audio on-site (hence the slight scratching sound), but you can still hear everything the panelists have to say, loud and clear!

Toy obsession
Hi everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a 3-year-old Yorkie named Danica. She is 4-1/2 pounds and shares the household with a 3-year-old Pom. We got them from the same breeder, and they were in the same playpen when we got them at 8 weeks (the Yorkie) and 11 weeks (the Pom). They are as different as night and day. I've owned a Pom before and never intended on getting a Yorkie, but when we went to get the Pom, there the little Yorkie was, and my husband fell in love with her.
Raising a Yorkie has had its challenges, but there are many rewards, as I'm sure all of you know. Yorkies make life interesting!
Anyway, I'm dealing with a problem right now with my Yorkie. She has all of a sudden at 3 years old starting obsessing with stuffed squeaky toys or any stuffed toy, really. She will play with it non-stop and basically "attack" it until she tears it to shreds. It takes her a while, but she will dissemble it eventually and remove the squeaker. She goes at it so hard that she is breathless, and nothing seems to distract her. If I take the toy from her and replace it with another, she will start the same thing again with the new toy, although she prefers the one she has had before. It's not that she is obsessed with any one particular toy, just any stuffed toy. She is not aggressive at any other time or to other dogs or to any humans. She only exhibits this behavior with the stuffed toys. She shows no interest in balls or other toys, only the stuffed toys. She has spent the last 2 days walking around and looking for the toy I hid from her, sniffing and driving us crazy with her barking. She knows where the toy was and goes and sits and barks at that cabinet.
Has anyone experienced anything similar? Should I just wait it out and hope she forgets it? I don't think it's healthy to let her go at these toys like this. Thanks for any tips. Attached is a picture of little Danica.

Here at RootzWiki, we're all about Android discovery. We love to help users learn to use the full potential of these amazing devices; the keyword there being learn. One of the big appeals of the Android rooting community is the ability to customize and make our devices our own with the use of themes. Even though our forums are loaded with developers willing to help the themers of the world, sometimes asking for help can make one feel, well, like an idiot. RootzWiki Developer ehoba understands your fears however and he's crafted one awesome tool to help noobs and veterans alike master the art of theming, meet IDIOT.
IDIOT, or If Droids Insist On Themes, is theme building and theme porting made for those who love to theme their devices. This unique tool doesn't help the user create images but rather allows the user to rip and/or add png images to and from apk, making altering system and application images incredibly user friendly. Building your own theme or porting one has never been easier. There's a ridiculous amount of utilities included here.
Built right in there is a nifty color picker tool that shows on screen exactly what your new selections are doing to your theme. A useful preview feature shows you emulator style exactly what you can expect your alterations to look like when your theme is finished. There is a Mod Util section that allows you to drag and drop filesfolders to be used by APKTOOL, Smali and BakSmali. And so you don't get lost, when you rip PNGs from a theme you can tag them with a discription when stored in your PNG data base. Some of the newest features that have been added include rooting capability, ADB file explorer, MDPI support, and the ability to nab screen shots from your device.
So far theme support is mainly for MIUI but the dev has stated plans to add Cyanogenmod support in the future. This was originally tested on Samsung Galaxy S type phones, however it should work on most Android devices. Be sure to head on over to check it out and lend your support. This amazing tool is being updated and tweaked all the time but it can't grow without your help! We can't wait to see what crazy stuff comes out of this project now that it makes theming a little easier for the more artistic, less tech savvy side of the Android Community.]]>

No major economic events are scheduled for the day.

Usually, garden expert Geri Laufer shows us how to nurture plants. This time, we did something a little different.
In our most recent visit, we focused on that mighty plague of propagation: weeds—and Geri shared several organic methods of killing them.
She started our conversation by addressing this question: Why, in a world filled with chemical fixes, would you go organic in the first place?
Organic Weed-Control Methods Mentioned By Geri
- Spread mulch around newly-sown plants to nip weeds in the bud.
- Boiling Water: Recommended for weeds that are far from your cultivated plants, in places like cracks in your sidewalk, since the scalding water will kill those plant roots, too.
- Vinegar: Spray from a bottle onto weeds, but make sure to screen your cultivated plants with a piece of paper or cardboard.
- Salt: Kills plants through reverse osmosis. Recommended for weeds that are far from your cultivated plants, in places like cracks in your sidewalk, since salt will kill any plant, and will prevent re-growth of plants.
- Recipe for Weed-Killing Mixture: Place in a hand-sprayer one quart of vinegar, one cup of salt, and a few drops of liquid dish soap. Use as you would vinegar.

- 1 1/4 pounds parsnips, peeled and cut crosswise into thick slices
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
How to Make It
Preheat the oven to 325°. Lightly butter ten 1/4-cup ramekins or an 8-by-12-inch glass baking dish. In a medium saucepan, steam the parsnips until very tender, about 25 minutes.
Transfer the parsnips to a food processor and puree. Strain the puree through a coarse sieve into a medium bowl. Whisk in the eggs, milk, cream, salt and pepper. Strain the custard through a fine sieve and pour it into the ramekins or the baking dish. Set the ramekins or the baking dish in a large roasting pan and carefully pour in enough hot water to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins or the baking dish. Cover the pan loosely with foil. Bake for 45 minutes for the ramekins and 1 hour for the baking dish, or until the custards are just set.
Make Ahead: The custards can be refrigerated overnight. Reheat in the ramekins or baking dish in a microwave oven on high until warmed through.

Nike Cup Prelims Day 1
Nike Cup Finals Day 1
Chapel Hill, N.C. -- The No. 10 Tennessee men's swimming and diving team trails host North Carolina after the first day of competition at the Nike Cup Invitational in Chapel Hill, N.C., Thursday.
"We had some very good swims today," UT head coach John Trembley said. "Casey Dauw was spectacular with this qualifying time for NCAAs."
The Vols were led by junior Dauw, who won the 200-yard individual medley in 1:47.07. The time qualifies him for the NCAA championships in March. Dauw's time also broke the pool and meet record that was held by former Vol great Andrew Bree. Junior Bryan Goldberg finished 14th in the 200 I.M. in 1:54.75 with fellow junior Kiel Huston placing 16th in 1:55.11.
The 400-yard medley relay team of Michael Wolfe, Andrew Engle, Tyler Gustafson and Huston brought home the only other win for the Vols in 3:19.87.
Gustafson followed up his win in the relay with a second-place performance in the 50-yard freestyle in 20.74. Mark Vahle of Clemson won the 50 free in 20.36.
Junior Jason Thomas finished fourth in the 500-yard freestyle in 4:32.16. Sophomore Brad Boswell followed up Thomas with at 17th-place showing in 4:34.87.
"Jason Thomas had an excellent 500 this morning," Trembley said. "He continues to get better and better."
Competition continues Friday with preliminaries at 10 a.m. and finals following at 6 p.m. The Vol divers get underway Friday at the Georgia Tech Invitational in Atlanta. Finals will begin approximately at 5:30 p.m.

SENDAI – Miyagi Prefecture has filed an application with the central government's Reconstruction Agency to establish a special zone to revive the local fishing industry, hit badly by the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
In the special zone, covering part of the Momonoura district in the Pacific coastal city of Ishinomaki, fishing rights allocated preferentially to the local fisheries cooperative could be granted instead to private businesses to attract capital and knowhow from the private sector.
The prefecture aims to set up the special zone in September, when licenses to grant fishing rights are renewed.
The Miyagi government plans to grant a license for fishing rights to a local limited liability company set up by 15 oyster farmers under eased regulations in the fisheries law, based on the special reconstruction zone law. It aims to build a business involved in all stages of production, processing and sales.
The company aims to expand the annual value of local oyster production to ¥300 million, up by 50 percent from the level before the March 2011 catastrophe.
On Thursday, the prefecture held a meeting with parties including the local fisheries cooperative and the company. Although the cooperative strongly opposed the planned special zone, the prefectural government went ahead with the application after concluding that the plan meets the requirements for a special zone, including safeguarding the jobs of local fishermen.
Miyagi Gov. Yoshihiro Murai proposed the special fishery zone to a central government meeting on reconstruction in May 2011.
Suzuki seawall donation
HAMAMATSU, Shizuoka Pref.
Suzuki Motor Corp. said Wednesday it will donate ¥500 million to the city of Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecture, to help build a seawall to protect against tsunami that could strike in the event of a long-expected offshore earthquake in the Pacific.
The automaker, which has a head office in the city, said it will donate the amount over five years to help construct the barrier against tsunami.
