Apple and HTC Organize a Truce, Sign 10-Year Licensing Pact

Apple, HTC kiss and make up
Before his death, former Apple CEO Steve Jobs stated that
he was willing to go "thermonuclear" on Google
and the manufacturers that produce devices running Android OS. It appears that current Apple CEO Tim Cook, however, is taking a softer approach on the warfront.
Apple and HTC have
been in and out of court for years
, battling over smartphone patents. Most recently, Apple
lost its bid to ban HTC's One X and EVO 4G LTE
over its claim of infringement on a "data tapping" patent. However, both companies announced yesterday that the two companies have reached a settlement on all pending litigation. All current lawsuits are being tossed and the two companies have entered into a ten-year licensing agreement.

"HTC is pleased to have resolved its dispute with Apple, so HTC can focus on innovation instead of litigation," said HTC CEO Peter Chou.
"We are glad to have reached a settlement with HTC," said Apple CEO Tim Cook. "We will continue to stay laser focused on product innovation."
The terms of the agreement are confidential.

HTC has been taking on water in recent months, and has
seen an erosion of profits
as Samsung has
strengthened its position in the smartphone market
HTC has also made drastic cuts to its research and development programs while also scaling back its marketing efforts. Perhaps Apple just doesn't see much of a threat from HTC anymore, and was more willing to make a deal.
Apple still has a
hard-on for Samsung
, so we doubt that the boys from Cupertino will be reaching any licensing agreements with that South Korean electronics giant any time soon.
"Nowadays, security guys break the Mac every single day. Every single day, they come out with a total exploit, your machine can be taken over totally. I dare anybody to do that once a month on the Windows machine." -- Bill Gates

Nailing bamboo over parquet flooring
I jus bought solid bamboo flooring and I want to nail it over the existing parquet. My parquet is in good shape, no pieces coming up but I'm worried if I nail to it, it will listen up or even over time whatever glue is under it will deteriorate. If I get a long enough nail that goes through the parquet and into the ply would that cut it?
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thanks.
Any flooring is only as good as what is under it.
Fair enough, but is parquet flooring good enough to be under it is my question. The floor is solid so the plywood below the parquet is good.
It could be done--but it's a chancy install----If the parquet is old enough to need replacing--the glue holding it down is probably old and brittle---driving flooring spikes into that on an angle might be all it takes to knock some loose.
If you are willing it risk failure in order to save the time involved in removing the old parquet--It's your house .---Mike---
I picked a spot where I'm going to pull the parquet up anyway to install tile to do some testing. I drove a framing nail into it and it didn't split or come loose. I managed to get a chunk free in a corner after pulling the trim off. I didn't realize it's only 1/4" thick. If I use a 2 1/2" nail Ive got a good hold into the floor. Over time though things might get noisy as the parquet glue deteriorates.
Really, I don't mind pulling up the parquet, but I need to have the hight in order to match the kitchen and bathroom tiles so what I'm trying to avoid is buying a bunch of plywood and installing it first.
Isn't the parquet oak? Might be a challenge using a pin that long.:yes:

I think it would be great if it where an option. Perhaps even a sandbox implementation that could wrap or replace a few classes. Maybe that complicates things too much, but that way you could just not use the transaction system if you where on NFS (if that ends up being a problem) or you didn't want to pay a performance cost. Maybe a Derby guy would pitch in. Chris Hostetter wrote: > : This is simple not true.

I would certainly not say everyone hates them. I would be more inclined to say that the majority of people like them... Even though they are ugly as hell, which is why I do not like them.
I don't understand it. I have a ruger p95 and a RIA 1911. I love them dearly. A friend of mine has a glock 26. I've shot it. I can't say I hated it. I do have big ass hands so a sub is too small for me and I couldn't hit tight groups with it. But thats not glocks problem that's an incompatibility between my large hands and a sub conpact lol. I've shot a glock 19 and had no problems.
I just don't understand why does everyone hate it? And on the opposite side I've noticed there are those "glock only" people and "nothing else compares." but I've never been given a reason why they consider them the best.
Anyone care to share some opinions?
I would certainly not say everyone hates them. I would be more inclined to say that the majority of people like them... Even though they are ugly as hell, which is why I do not like them.
It's kind of like brand bashing over in the motorcycle world. Some people think it makes them look sophisticated; the more experienced just leave each to their own.
Sometimes it is just the opposite ...Glockaphiles love them so much that they push them for everyone and everything and get a backlash reaction.....Glocks are excellent for what they are, tough, reliable etc.....just not for everyone...........JJ
Some glock folks come off like your not carrying a quality firearm unless your carrying a Glock, and that just ticks people off.
I own a few different kinds of pistols, such as smith and wesson 686, beretta 92, rugers, colt 1911, and a glock 26. I really like all of those guns and don't see the glock as being superior or inferior to the others. Some people want only glocks, while others act like the 1911 is the holy grail of firearms. I feel like whatever you have fun shooting is the way to go. I put 100 rounds through a brand new Ruger LCP today and had a lot of fun. That little gun will go great with my Ruger LC9. And I also love my glock 26 it is rugged, reliable, very easy to shoot accurately, and a very attractive firearm!
There's not a thing wrong with eclectic tastes. I enjoy my Glocks, my Sigs, my Springfield, and may expand my collection further someday. But all of you folks who've answered this thread would fall into the category of savvy enthusiasts, not bashers.
I dont hate any weapon except one that isnt reliable.I just dont care for them personally.I am just an ol guy and want steel.I dont care about weight.I just dont like it when someone talks bad about my choice.I am the one who has to be happy and confident with it.
The most cited complaint I hear is they don't come up to point of aim for many shooters. Hold one, unloaded of course, in firing stance with your eyes closed. When you open them and look at the sights you will see the Glock is pointing high and you must adjust your point of aim to be on target. A 1911 held the same way will be on target. This all has to do with grip angle. I own 1911s, Ruger and Walter 22s, 2 Glocks, both duty weapons, one issued and one a hi-cap 45 that I always scored 100s with on the range-but I had to pay attention to sight picture. They are reliable, popular with LE due to Murphy's Law-lowest bidder thing. My carry guns are Sig/1911 and Browning HP with the Glocks at home as HD guns. The lack of safety due to ADs is also mentioned. The G17s w 5# triggers we were issued to replace S&W M66s years ago were a nightmare of accident discharges. The G22 we got later, after Sig P220 45s for 7 yrs, were not quite as bad but as a FA Instructor from the G17 days I made sure we trained very hard on weapon safety.
Some folks hold strong biases about a number of things. Cars, boats, vacation locations, types of homes, and firearms. I have never understood the 'why' or 'how' anyone could want to be so biased towards a firearms manufacturer. I can understand preferences and believe those are both valid and good. If someone doesn't care for a Glock, that's fine. But to hate the gun, one has to wonder about their mental stability.
I have biases both for and against certain firearms but my biases are based upon opinions and preferences... particularly preferences. And those are based upon facts as they relate to me and a specific firearm. I may not care for a certain handgun, but I don't hate it. That would be rather ignorant since it is an inanimate object (hard to imagine hating plastic and steel).
As for Glocks, I like them quite a bit and do carry them. In fact, I'm heading to the range this morning with two of them which have new sights. I want to spend a little time with just them and me seeing how well we do without my usual bi-Monday company at that range. I view Glock as I do most other guns. They're tools. The Glock happens to be one of the best tools in one's tool chest of handgun choices because it does the one thing for which it was designed and built better than just about any other of its siblings: it works... time after time after time.
For example, last Monday my bi-Monday friend and I were at above said range for our bi-weekly range work. We go through a number of different scenarios with varying targets (not the common or usual kind) and I was using my M&P 9mm Pro Series, which is a fine piece. During the Dot Torture drill, my M&P failed to hold the slide back after the last round a half dozen times. And to automatically ran the slide home to full battery several times when I was doing a rapid reload. Never had this happen with my Glocks. The M&P tends to be a little magazine-sensitive and their factory mags are not of the best design or quality in my opinion. Glock magazines are among the best out there.
So I say, let the haters hate them... that's their prerogative. Lord knows why they'd discount one of the best self defense combat handguns devised, but they have their reasons and choices. Me? I'll use what works and is best for me.
JMO - they are just butt ugly and I don't shoot plastic.Sounds harsh, but that is the way I see it. If other people like them - that's ok but don't try to push them on me.
It may be, because they are ugly, maybe, because you see them often in the hands of gangbangers...maybe the trigger....each to his own...I prefer steel, and hammers, and manual safeties.
In the motorcycle world I have a saying that goes.................it's that you ride.
With guns I say.....................Its that you shoot!
Neither is it a matter of what.
Hating an inanimate object is pretty much an exercise in futility. One gains nothing from it.
I "was" a glock basher because my brother in law is a cop and he loves glocks. I dont like my brother in law so therefore I'm not going to like glocks. Bashed them for years just because of that. I know, thats the stupidest thing you ever heard but just being honest with you. This saturday went into a gun shop and said what have you got that is a good cc weapon. He thru down a pistol and without looking at it I just grabed it up and instantly I liked it. And guess what, it was a glock 26. I bought it. Not going to bash glocks anymore. The mag release does suck but really like the gun. Oh, by the way, still dont like my brother in law!!
Well, jeeze, if God tells us that Glocks aren't the right ones, I guess we ought to listen. Right?
I'm going to go right out and buy an Italian. Do you think that Sophia Loren is still for sale?
There are so many different pistols for sale out there.
When you've chosen and bought one, you want to feel that you've "done the right thing." Right?
This means that your ego is involved.
So, if you've bought a Glock, it just has to be the best thing since flush toilets and sliced bread. You love your Glock.
And if you've bought something else, well, it, too, just has to be the best thing since flush toilets and sliced bread. After all, your ego is involved here.
So if you own a Glock, it's Glock Love, and everybody else is crazy.
And if you've chosen something else, why, you just hate those Glocks and the stupid people who bought them.
Ain't psychology simple?
Steve is being nice compared to the other thread,he got me going He's right though,it's a pshycological (or testosterone) thing.If you notice our feminine gender don't think this way and learn to shoot much more easily.
I have to say it one more time if you believe it or not,Glock is a good piece if you like it.I don't like the gun as a whole,but it works.While I don't like the gun,it's the company that I can't stand.Diversity is good though,I own Harleys,you have Triumphs.There's more than one way to skin a cat,in the end we can end up with the same outcome but get there different ways.

JOHN Roach knows a thing or two about public speaking - which is no surprise considering he's been doing it successfully for more than 10 years.
But those days are coming to an end for the retiring Headway Illawarra chief executive.
Before he departs Mr Roach wants to recruit volunteers for the organisation which, among other things, makes educational presentations to schools and community groups about acquired brain injury and its consequences.
Over the past 10 years Headway has reached more than 12,000 people.
Mr Roach wants people who are keen to give educational talks about acquired brain injury to contact Headway.
"You don't need to be a genius to learn the basics about brain injury. We will happily train people," he said.
"It is mainly our clients, who have got brain injury, who are the stars of it.
"You have really just got to pick them up and they tell their story and everyone listens to them because they are pretty gripping tales."
Headway usually uses one staff member and one or two clients who are experienced in speaking publicly. The clients discuss acquired brain injury and how it affects their life and the lives of family and friends.
Mr Roach said the hour-long presentations were well regarded and that Headway received a lot of positive feedback.
"It is really satisfying, you get a lot out of it.
"It is only a couple of nights a month so it would be ideal for a teacher, nurse or health professional."

RULES FOR SELLING LIQUOR.; Too Stringent Regulation Viewed as Evil to Be Avoided.
November 08, 1933,
, Section , Page 20, Column , words
To the Editor of The New York Times: The persistent report that the State Alcoholic Beverage Control Board intends to announce stringent regulations to follow repeal is exceedingly disquieting. It is circumstantially stated that the board means to prohibit the sale of hard liquors for consumption on the premises except with meals.

Leona Lewis Originally Recorded, 'Burn'
28-year old British singer and songwriter, Leona Lewis, who top the pop charts back in 2007 with her best selling single, "Bleeding Love" recently revealed that she she recorded Ellie's huge hit single 'Burn' but turned it down.
Ryan Tedder from One Republic, who wrote the song, offered it to her first but she didn't think it was the right sound. The single was suppose to appear on Leona's Glassheart album but it was eventually cut from the final tracklist. Leona says:
"The thing is, if I had released 'Burn', I don't think it would have gone on to do as well as Ellie's version. It wouldn't have worked for me. It just wouldn't have," Leona explained to BANG. "It was meant to be hers, I'm glad she did it, and I think she did it really well. I really like Ellie Goulding, I'm a big fan."
Leona's version has leaked online. Here it is.

The Greek champions Olympiacos FC are set to play Manchester City of England on August 2, at the TCF Bank Stadium in Minneapolis. This will be a Group B match that of the Guinness International Champions Cup.
The game should be challenging for both teams as both are current defending champions at their respective league. Of course, the English Premier League is a more popular league around the world than the Superleague Greece. The English league also has higher ranked club teams than the Greek league, and that is why Manchester City is the favorite to win the match on August 2.
The players to watch in this game are many for the Manchester City. The two forwards that lead the way for City are Argentine striker Sergio Aguero and Bosnian striker Edin Dzeko. These two strikers just came back from the World Cup and will be quite entertaining to watch their comeback with their club team.
As for the Olympiacos, the leading scorers are Greek forward Kostas Mitroglou and Argentine striker Javier Saviola. These two are a threat but the Man City's defense should be able to hold, especially with Joe Hart, being the best English goalkeeper. Also, Man City's defence with Vincent Kompany from Belgium, Martin Demichelis from Argentina, and Pablo Zabaleta also from Argentina should be a huge help stopping Saviola and Mitroglou.
The midfielders for Manchester City include Ivorian Yaya Toure, Spaniard David Silva, French Samir Nasri, and Brazilian Fernando. These guys are also world-class players and should be quite effective against Olympiacos FC.
Olympiacos also have world-class internationals in the midfield as well. Argentine Chory Dominguez, Costa Rica's Joel Campbell, and Greek Giannis Maniatis will be helping with the playmaking for the Greek club team. However, Man City's defense is very strong and will be a hard task for Olympiacos to win.
In the end, Man City should take this victory for the 10th match of the 2nd edition of the Guinness International Champions Cup. Man City is actually the favorite to win Group B of this soccer tournament being played in the US.
Olympiacos, being champs from Greece and all, are still predicted to come in last of this group of the ICC. However, things never really happen as predicted, especially in soccer. During the World Cup in Brazil earlier this summer, the actuality of the predictions coming true were not that high.
Anyway, perhaps Olympiacos FC will have what it takes to defeat Manchester City. Conversely enough, Man City will most likely prevail and win by at least two goals.

For Brian Lee, the Varsity Blues' second-year swimming sensation, a passion for swimming and athletic prowess in the pool may be genetic."My parents met swimming for Queen's University, and it's been a family sport since I was born," said Lee, explaining his reasons for deciding to swim in the first place.The philosophy major has been swimming competitively for 14 years, beginning at the Sault Ste Marie Aquatic Club when he was six. After 10 years with the club, Lee made the decision to take his talents south of the border where he enrolled in the Baylor School, a co-educational private secondary school heralded for both its academic and swimming programs. With its multi-million dollar Olympic-sized swimming pool, the Tennessee-area school has a long history of producing competitive swimmers, including US Olympian Geoff Gaberino, who captured the gold medal in the 4×200 metre freestyle relay at the 1984 Summer Games in Los Angeles.So, it's no surprise that Lee has emerged as one of the strongest swimmers on the team since he arrived at the University of Toronto. In just his first year as a Varsity Blues athlete, he won a silver medal at the 2012 Ontario University Athletics (OUA) championships, and went on to collect a pair of silver medals and a bronze at that year's Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) championships.That medal haul was only a sign of things to come. At the 2013 OUA championships in Toronto, the Varsity Blues' men's swimming team captured the Dougall Trophy and first place, and Lee added to his medal collection a pair of gold medals in the relay events and a pair of third-place finishes in the individual events. Then, at the 2013 CIS championships in Calgary at the end of February, Lee collected a silver medal in the 50-metre breaststroke and a bronze medal in the 4×100 metre freestyle relay. The Varsity Blues went on to capture the Nelson C. Hart trophy, ending an 18-year period that saw a Western team top the CIS every year.Winning the national championship, says Lee, is undoubtedly the moment he is most proud of as a Varsity Blues swimmer. "It was an amazing experience to win like we did, made even more amazing because we're graduating so many swimmers this year, and it was awesome being able to win with them."Belonging to a team is an aspect of Varsity competition that Lee has come to love, and that made winning the CIS championship an incredible experience. "Club swimming is an individual sport, but Varsity swimming really makes you feel like part of a team. I've never experienced the team aspect of swimming as much as I have here."It may also be a reason for the team's success. "Having the whole team behind every swimmer every race made us all feel like we were swimming for something bigger that individual accomplishments," says Lee. "Despite being close a number of times, I'm extremely happy that we were finally able to bring the trophy back to U of T."Though clearly skilled in both the relay and individual events, the excitement of relays is something special for Lee. "It does feel awful to swim poorly and let the team down, more so than just swimming poorly on your own," explains Lee, "Having a team of three guys behind you makes it really easy to feel inspired and have a great swim."Lee trains once or twice a day provided he has no injuries, which can at times make it difficult to keep up with academics, he admits. "The coaching staff is extremely flexible concerning class hours and when you're available to train though," he explains. "Our meet schedule is determined ahead of time, which gives us a bit of time to prepare."As a sprinter, Lee swims fewer metres and trains less often than swimmers in other disciplines, since his focus is on short distances and speed as opposed to endurance.Lee plans to stay in Toronto over the summer, as most Varsity swimmers do, in order to train and stay in shape for the upcoming season, which will see the University of Toronto host the CIS championships and try to defend their title."We had a lot of support from parents and alumni that made swimming at home an exciting place to be during the OUA finals," says Lee. "Hopefully next year when we host the CIS finals we'll get the same support and more."The biggest goal is to win the CIS championships for a second year in a row. The meet being held at home makes it mean even more to us."

Hey everyone,
I'm having an issue with a script that I use rather frequently as a TimThumb alternative. It works great for 99% of the themes, but I've received in one case an error that I don't know quite how to solve.
"Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string"
Referring to line:
$new_img_size = getimagesize( $new_img_path );
I seem to recall another discussion (can't find it) on the boards about this particular script, and several mentioned they use it frequently. Here's the script link:http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/15311
Any advice what the error is referring to or how to go about solving it would be great!
I seem to recall having an issue with this in the (far) past once and if I recall, the problem was because the user had set a different image upload folder path than the WP default:http://cl.ly/390p1s2V2d2L1q1j3U3X
Looks like they have the default settings in place. It's a strange problem, I guess. Thanks for your help, Jami.
Siiimple said
"Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string"
Referring to line:$new_img_size = getimagesize( $new_img_path );
the problem comes from previous line:
$new_img_path = image_resize( $file_path, $width, $height, $crop );
$new_img_size = getimagesize( $new_img_path );
image_resize function requires GD Library to be installed in your server.
ask your buyer to contact his hosting support to activate GD Library on his server.
Thanks, I'll see if that's the issue.
Appreciate your help!
I used this script too, but had some issues regarding
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] variable. Lately I figured out that there is two lines commented out (the last two lines) ...
$file_path = parse_url( $img_url ); $file_path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . $file_path['path']; // Look for Multisite Path if(file_exists($file_path) === false){ global $blog_id; $file_path = parse_url( $img_url ); if (preg_match("/files/", $file_path['path'])) { $path = explode('/',$file_path['path']); foreach($path as $k=>$v){ if($v == 'files'){ $path[$k-1] = 'wp-content/blogs.dir/'.$blog_id; } } $path = implode('/',$path); } $file_path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].$path; } //$file_path = ltrim( $file_path['path'], '/' ); //$file_path = rtrim( ABSPATH, '/' ).$file_path['path'];
I see that these two lines are not grayed out in the latest version of the script, I'm not sure if they should solve
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] issue. Do you have any idea?
Sorry, not very experienced in PHP !
Well, the journey continues on.
The client said they double check that GD Library was installed, so I guess that's not the issue.
Not sure about the two grayed out lines. I tried to activate them, but that didn't seem to do anything.
Do you use the latest version of the script? I it's this … https://gist.github.com/930234/5d5ba6a426c4981c6648098d68554ca0f93127c4
I'm also not sure what to use, TimThumb or this script ( vt_resize ), the only downside is the DOCUMENT _ROOT variable issue! but I think it's resolved.
Just out curiosity, do they have WordPress installed on a subdomain or something other than a top level folder? Also, are they using a WordPress MU installation?
I checked, and it's installed in the root domain. No, they're not MU. The script was working fine for several months, but then just donked out. The error keeps pointing to:
$new_img_path = image_resize( $actual_file_path, $width, $height, $crop ); $new_img_size = getimagesize( $new_img_path ); $new_img = str_replace( basename( $image_src[0] ), basename( $new_img_path ), $image_src[0] );
Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string line 209

"Gnut," he said earnestly, holding carefully the limp body in his arms, "you must do one thing for me. Listen carefully. I want you to tell your master the master yet to come that what happened to the first Klaatu was an accident, for which all Earth is immeasurably sorry. Will you do that?"
"I have known it," the robot answered gently.
"But will you promise to tell your master just those words as soon as he is arrived?"
"You misunderstand," said Gnut, still gently, and quietly spoke four more words. As Cliff heard them a mist passed over his eyes and his body went numb.
As he recovered and his eyes came back to focus he saw the great ship disappear. It just suddenly was not there anymore. He fell back a step or two. In his ears, like great bells, rang Gnut's last words. Never, never was he to disclose them til the day he came to die.

Also, more recent and more light hearted, 'Juno' was very entertaining and clever. I have a young daughter so it freaks me out, but still the dialog was fantastic.

New study blasts theory that women do more work
By Isabel Coles
LONDON (Reuters Life!) - He may leave his socks lying around and avoid emptying the dishwasher, but a new study shows husbands do as much work as their wives.
London School of Economics sociologist Catherine Hakim's research shows that when both paid work and unpaid duties such as housework, care and voluntary work are taken into account, men do pull their own weight.
"It's true that women do more work in the home, but overall men and women are doing the same, which is roughly eight hours per day," Hakim told Reuters.
In fact, the study of how people use their time found that men in Britain spend slightly longer on "productive" work each day than women.
"Feminists are wrong to claim that men should do a larger share of the housework and childcare because on average, men and women already do the same number of hours of productive work," Hakim said.
She said the data overturns the long-standing theory that women work a "double shift," juggling a job with household chores, and working longer hours than their husbands.
The study, "(How) can social policy and fiscal policy recognize unpaid family work?," used data from Europe-wide Time Use Surveys.
"Results were similar across Europe, except in the ex-socialist European countries, where there is less of a tradition of men chipping in," Hakim said. Continued...

Fujifilm has announced seven new digital cameras that it will be showing at PMA, and as predicted the list includes a new high-end semi-pro superzoom model that exceeds the specification of the already awesome FinePix S9600.
FinePix S100FS
Fujifilm's new flagship superzoom camera is the FinePix S100FS. It is an SLR-style camera with a very impressive specification. It features a big f2.8-5.3 14.3x manual zoom Fujinon lens with optical image stabilisation and a focal length range equivalent to 28-400mm, a 2.5-inch 230k pixel tiltable LCD monitor, and an 11-megapixel 2/3-inch Super CCD HR VIII HR sensor. This is a larger sensor than any of Fuji's previous superzoom cameras, and in theory at least should provide lower image noise and high dynamic range than the smaller sensors found in most other non-SLR cameras.
The FS in the name comes from the Film Simulation mode, a technology borrowed from Fuji's professional DSLR the S5 Pro. The RP (Real Photo) Processor III provides four film modes for portraiture, low-contrast (soft), vibrant colours (Velvia), or general use (Provia), as well as three extended dynamic range modes (100%, 200%, 400%). The high speed processor also provides DSLR-like performance, with 3fps shooting at full resolution in both JPEG and RAW modes, and 7fps shooting at the lower resolution 3MP mode. ISO settings of 100-3200 are available at full resolution, with 6400 ISO available at 6MP and 10,000 ISO at 3MP.
The S100FS also borrows a few features from Fuji's compact camera range, including hardware-based face detection and automatic red-eye correction from the F50fd, and a multi-format memory card slot compatible with SD, SDHC and xD-Picture cards. It has a VGA 30fps movie mode, and multiple bracketing modes, including Film Simulation Bracketing, Dynamic Range Bracketing and AE Bracketing. Fuji has stated that the S100FS isn't immediately replacing the S9600, which will still be available while stocks last. The FinePix S100FS will be available from March 2008, although the recommended retail price is yet to be confirmed.

We currently have the "married house" on the market,
So, if its on the market, then he still has ownership of the house along with her, so unless its stated in the divorce that she has sole possesion of the property till its sold, he has as much right to the house as she. In other words, unless he is forbidden to access to the home, he HAS access to the house.
If she is awarded the house, then either it's paid for and she needs to get a quit claim deed to remove him from the home ownership paperwork (and it will protect him from lawsuits that may arise from injuries sustained on that property), or it's not paid for and he has to keep making the mortgage payment for some reason (like, he makes way more money)-- good luck getting him to give up a sense of ownership in that case.
Or it's not paid off and she has to refinance the house in her name only -- meaning he gets half the equity in the house, and then she still needs to do a quit claim deed to remove his name from the deed to the home.
What she needs to do is set him up on a date with a distant friend to get him to worry less about her and more about his own life.

The Ontario Ministry of the Environment is considering mixing concrete with the toxic substance perfluorooctane sulfonic (PFOS), as a way to remediate the contaminated chemical found at the southwest corner of the Hamilton International Airport.

Ministry of the Environment's Jennifer Hall, a senior regional communications advisor, confirmed using concrete to remediate PFOS is one of a number of options the ministry is reviewing, after receiving a risk assessment study from Tradeport.

"All remediation options continue to be on the table," stated Hall. "Tradeport and (the city of Hamilton) are preparing their reports to review a number of the options."

Frank Scremin, president and chief executive officer of the airport, revealed to councillors last week that Tradeport had sent to the MoE its long-awaited risk management report about the PFOS contamination on the property. He said the report is a draft examination of the options on how to clean up the former fire training site.

He said preliminary testing of using concrete mixed with the soil "was successful" in a lab.

"At this point, it is the MoE who will determine the program," he said.

Hall stated the MoE is projecting to take about three months to complete its review, depending upon how long Tradeport and the city need to complete their additional work.

The ministry conducts its technical review of the options "to ensure the clean up plan is appropriate and will address the PFOS contamination on the airport property."

But some councillors remained skeptical that using concrete as a remediation option should even be considered.

Stoney Creekcouncillor Brad Clark, who fought against the former Phillip Services from mixing concrete with toxic chemicals before it was dumped into the Taro landfill site, said he questioned if the concrete will neutralize the PFOS.

"It concerns me to have a quasi-landfill at the airport," said Clark. "I'm not convinced it works."

Glanbrook councillor Brenda Johnson said the ideal option would be to remove the chemical contained in the soil and truck it to a proper disposal facility, preferably in Sarnia.

"I'm not pleased with what I'm hearing," she said.

Hall stated the MoE will engage with the public prior to selecting a preferred remediation option. She agreed MoE officials will take part in another public meeting that Johnson has said she wants to hold in the community. A meeting held at Mount Hope last spring attracted all the stakeholders, except for the federal government representative.

"The ministry will consider public input before approving a final remediation plan for the airport property," stated Hall.

One of the obstacles to cleaning up the chemical has been the federal government, which has not been involved in any public meetings, nor remediation plans. Federal transportation officials have repeatedly stated it is the municipality's responsibility to clean up the chemicals, even though the contamination occurred when the federal government owned the property.

"We expect Transport Canada to work with the city and Tradeport in cleaning up the contamination as we consider them a responsible party," stated Hall. "That's why the (Environment Minister Jim Bradley) has written to them urging them to participate in the process, and join discussions with the ministry, the city and Tradeport."

Bradley sent the letter to the federal government Nov. 6.

The federal government has also refused to pay for any clean up costs, which could range from $2 million to $3 million, putting the onus on the municipality to foot the bill.

PFOS has been found in firefighting foam, which was used during training sessions at the airport. The chemical was added to the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants in May 2009 due to its persistent, bioaccumulative toxic nature. PFOS accumulates within wildlife and it is not easily expunge. PFOS has been found in some fish and wildlife at the Binbrook Reservoir. The MoE and the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority have been monitoring fish in the reservoir for toxins since 2009.

The federal government transferred the facility to the city ofHamiltonin 1996.

Summer Music With Gil Shaham and Emanuel Ax
It's the time of year when schools let out for the summer, which got host Bill McGlaughlin thinking about when he was a kid: Summer meant no tests, no homework. McGlaughlin used to hang out at his grandfather's house on the Jersey shore where he'd spend hours practicing at the piano.
From an early age, most musicians learn that there is no such thing as time off. And once they become a working musician the fun really starts. There's the summer festival scene, orchestra concerts and tours. If anything, summer is the busiest time of all.
On this week's Summer Concert Showcase, we follow two New Yorkers as they begin their summers not on the beaches at the Hamptons, but on the concert stage, making music. This coming weekend violinist Gil Shaham opens the Caramoor International Music Festival, and pianist Emanuel Ax joins the New York Philharmonic for its final subscription concerts of the season.
Event details:
Caramoor International Music Festival
Katonah, N.Y. (June 23-Aug. 8)
The Caramoor International Music Festival is in Katonah, N.Y., but once you're there you'll have to keep reminding yourself that you're not in Italy. When you drive up to the Caramoor Estate you'll lay eyes on an Italian-inspired garden complete with rows of cedar trees to imitate the cypresses of Italy. Make sure to get there early and explore the grounds. The festival opens with violinist Gil Shaham joining the Orchestra of St. Luke's and conductor Roberto Abbado in an all-Mendelssohn program.
New York Philharmonic with Emanuel Ax
New York City, N.Y. (June 20-23)
This Wednesday through Saturday, the New York Philharmonic wraps up its 2011-2012 subscription series with an all-Mozart program. Emanuel Ax (pictured) joins the orchestra for the first half of the concert for Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 22. The second half features Mozart's C Minor Mass with the New York Choral Artists. After the final concert on Saturday it's officially summer for the orchestra, but that doesn't mean they're taking a break. They'll welcome summer with concerts at the Park Avenue Armory, Avery Fisher Hall, Cunningham Park in Queens and a residency in Vail, Colo.
Music heard on this week's program:
Caramoor International Music Festival
Felix Mendelssohn: Violin Concerto in E Minor, Op. 64
Gil Shaham, violin
Philharmonia Orchestra
Giuseppe Sinopoli, conductor
Deutsche Grammophon 427656
New York Philharmonic
Johannes Brahms: Intermezzi
Emanuel Ax, piano
Sony 88697-03510
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Symphony No. 41 in C, K. 551, "Jupiter": III. Menuetto: Allegretto; IV. Molto Allegro

I received a question via e-mail. I am placing the question and my response here, because I believe it may be helpful to others who visit the forums. Of course it is only my opinion, based on my education and experience. I recommend everyone consult their private healthcare provider about when to begin any HGH therapy.
Lisa Wells, RN
Hello, I am 32 years old. I have been reading your client testimonials and noticed that many of the people who use HGH Velvet are much older. Is it safe to start taking the HGH Velvet at my age or would it be better to take it later in life when my HGH levels have dropped some more? I don't want to be ina predicament where I start taking it now and then when I am in my 50's it will no longer still benefit me. But I was wondering if I started it now if it would have a preventive effect? Please tell me as much as you know. Thanks you! T
Hi T,
Thank you for your interest. It is true that many of our testimonials come from those older than yourself, however we also have many in your age group who take our product. I think it may be that the people in their 40's and up have already aged more, so they are more excited when they see the improvements.
I am now 45 1/2 years old, I started on homeopathic HGH when I was 39. I only wish I would have had the opportunity to take it when I was 30.
The good thing about homeopathic HGH is that it works with the body. It only helps in the areas that need help. For instance, I have children who take the product, with their doctor's permission. Their HGH is not low, but it still helps them because it must help their body to better utilize their own HGH.
I remember one 13 year old girl whose mother was at her wits end, looking for something to help her daughter's fibromyalgia. She had carried her to numerous doctors, and nothing they tried helped her. Our product helped her so much and so fast that her grandparents and her school teachers called and ordered some for themselves, when they saw her improvements.
I understand your concern, and I would agree with what you say if you were considering HGH injections. It would not be smart to make yourself dependant upon a synthetic hormone at your age. Homeopathic HGH should work with your pituitary gland to help your release of human growth hormone remain optimum.
A few years ago I wrote an article that discusses when to begin HGH therapy. The article gives information about a prominent physician in the field of anti-aging; Dr. Eva Van Cauter.
The article states:
One prominent researcher has the opinion that there is no need to wait until you are a senior citizen to enjoy the benefits of human growth hormone replacement. She believes it is better to start at a younger age when the levels of our own growth hormone are already on the decline.
She says that therapy has been aimed more at those 65+ years old, even though clinical research shows that people may already have elderly levels of HGH by age 40.
She believes it is better to begin HGH therapy in our 30's, instead of waiting and then trying to treat tissues of the body that have been deficient in human growth hormone for years.
I agree with her. Since we know that the decline of human growth hormone begins in the early 20's, I believe that safe homeopathic HGH can help those around the age of 30 to keep their growth hormone at a more optimum level as they age. Of course I always recommend everyone consult their private healthcare provider about taking any type of growth hormone therapy.
Best Regards,
Lisa Wells, RN

Spain bars ETA-linked candidates from elections
By Martin Roberts
MADRID (Reuters) - Spain's Supreme Court ruled on Sunday the newly formed "Bildu" alliance could not run in forthcoming municipal elections because of some candidates' ties to the political wing of armed separatist group ETA.
An official said the Court upheld by nine votes to six -- with one undecided -- a government appeal against Bildu contesting the polls after more than 12 hours of deliberations.
Bildu may appeal to the Constitutional Court against the ruling, which will be published in full on Monday.
"Bildu" grouped leftist Basque independence parties and unaffiliated activists after the Court denied legal status in March to "Sortu," a party relaunched as a successor to banned ETA ally Batasuna.
Unlike Batasuna, Sortu renounced violence and its launch followed a cease-fire declared by ETA in January, which the government swiftly dismissed as an electoral ploy.
The government broke off talks with ETA when the armed group broke a cease-fire in December 2006 by killing two in a bomb attack on Madrid airport.
"It (Bildu) is part of ETA's strategy," Interior Minister Alfredo Perez Rubalcaba said last week. "Some of its members have a direct link to the outlawed Batasuna."
Rubalcaba enjoys the highest rating of any minister in Spain's Socialist government due to leading a crack-down by security forces which has weakened ETA by arresting key leaders and uncovering several of their arms dumps. Continued...

Vols in the 2010 NFL Draft | Vols in the NFL Draft All-Time
For a player who learned the value of patience during his Tennessee career, Montario Hardesty didn't have to wait long to come off the board in this year's NFL Draft.
The Cleveland Browns took Hardesty with the 59th overall pick Friday night in the second round, a round earlier than most projected.
An exceptional senior season no doubt helped pave the way for his climb up draft boards.
Hardesty rushed for 1,345 yards - a mark that ranks fourth in school history - last season in his only season as the Vols' full-time starter at running back.
Hardesty was the only Tennessee player selected during Friday's second round. Safety Eric Berry (No. 5 overall) and defensive tackle Dan Williams (No. 26 overall) were taken in Thursday's first round.
Last year, defensive end Robert Ayers was the only UT player taken, although he was the No. 18 overall pick.
Tennessee is the only SEC school to produce a first-round pick in each of the last five seasons among SEC schools.
The draft concludes Saturday with the final four rounds, beginning at 10 a.m.
Numbers Game: Berry and Williams both have some pretty neat plans for their jersey numbers at the next level.
Berry, who as a defensive back can't wear the No. 14 like he did at Tennessee, plans to wear No. 29 with the Kansas City Chiefs in honor of former Vols defensive back Inky Johnson.
Johnson spent the last two seasons as a graduate assistant after his playing career was cut short with a traumatic shoulder injury in 2006.
Williams, meanwhile, plans to wear No. 92 -- a number made famous by former Vols defensive lineman and NFL Hall of Famer Reggie White.
"I didn't get a chance to have that number at Tennessee, so if I could get it here in Arizona, I'm loving it," Williams told the Arizona Cardinals' official website, AZCardinals.com.

Last season I was itching to try and push for a new contract. Now it's happened and I am ready to kick on again now," he said."It's lovely to know I am in the plans for the future. At the moment, it's just about getting things right each day and proving myself to the gaffer here."His way of playing will suit me down to the ground and hopefully I can be in his plans."I think he's great.

|Past members
(dates refer to years active with the group)
Grupo Bronco is a Mexican Grupero group from Apodaca, N.L..[1] Bronco's modern take on the Norteño style in the '80s and '90s helped earn them a number of international hits. Band members José Guadalupe Esparza, Ramiro Delgado, Javier Villareal, and José Luís 'Choche' Villareal crafted a sound that paid tribute to the Norteño tradition while incorporating modern instruments like keyboards, as well as a more melodic, pop style with elaborate costumes.
By 1990 "Bronco" proved that they were gaining fame because that same year they were the protagonist of the movie called "Bronco la pelicula" in which all four members of the band played a role in this film.
Bronco, who had already experienced international fame partly by help of their international hit Que no Quede Huella (May no Traces be Left) from their 1989 album A Todo Galope, and being scheduled to tours that took them all over Mexico, to the United States, Puerto Rico, Spain, Argentina, Venezuela, Peru and many other countries, found themselves in the midst of a second power dose of famousness in 1993, when they acted in the Televisa soap opera, Dos Mujeres, un Camino (Two Women, one Road), alongside Erik Estrada, Laura León, Lorena Herrera, Selena Quintanilla and Bibi Gaytán, among others. In addition to the acting, they performed the show's opening song, which was titled like the show. The CD Pura Sangre which included the song Dos Mujeres, un Camino, earned gold and platinum records in Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, and Paraguay, as well as in Mexico. All of Bronco's albums have achieved solid sales in the United States.
After Esparza announced he was going to pursue a solo career in 1997, the group broke up. After six years, in 2003, the bandmembers finally announced a return, and later that year, the group was reformed. They intended to use the name Bronco in Mexico again, but rather than draw out a dispute over the copyrighted band name with their ex-manager, they chose to go by the name El Gigante de America. This name was the nickname their public gave them during their quarter century as Bronco. Despite not being able to sing as Bronco in Mexico, the group still uses the name Bronco for their international concerts, where Mexican copyright laws do not count.
Grupo Bronco has sold over 10 million albums to date. On September 30, 2012 Jose Luis Villarreal (Choche) died in Apodaca, N.L. and in February that same year former keyboardist and accordionist Erick Garza was kidnapped and died in Monterrey

Play great one quarter, play sloppy the next.
Defend effectively for part of a game, defend terribly in the next juncture.
The book reads something like the above for the Utah Jazz in Ty Corbin's short tenure. And it definitely played out like that on Thursday night against the Denver Nuggets.
Unfortunately for Utah, the good points weren't enough. In a league where you have to play well for 48 minutes to get wins, the Jazz haven't been nearly consistent enough in that regard over the past month.
The Nuggets are the latest team to prove this to Utah, defeating the Jazz 103-101 on Thursday night before a national TNT audience when Andrei Kirilenko missed an open dunk that could've tied the game and sent things into overtime.
Denver made all of the big shots down the stretch. The Jazz turned it over when it mattered the most. When Utah had its chances to pull away in the fourth quarter, it didn't take advantage. When the Nuggets had chances to make free throws in the final moments, they cashed in.
"They made the big plays down the stretch," Jazz guard Devin Harris said. "They got the stops they needed. They made the big shots."
It's the difference between having experience, which Denver has with George Karl, Nene and Kenyon Martin, and having an entirely new lineup that doesn't quite know how to get it done in crunch time.
Even with the loss of superstar Carmelo Anthony, the Nuggets still have strong leadership. The Jazz aren't quite as fortunate. The dagger was put in by Aaron Afflalo, a terrific role player for Denver who's been making big shots and big plays all season.
And it was typical on this play that the Jazz completely missed the defensive rotation, Afflalo was left wide open and his shot put Denver up 102-98, and effectively put the game out of reach.
It all goes back to consistency. Utah played its best in the third quarter, coming up with defensive stops, forcing turnovers and running a smooth offense that produced points. Defensively, Utah surrendered just 16 points in the third period. But once the Nuggets found their footing, they imposed their will, clawed their way back into the game and took over in crunch time.
"We're playing way better," Kirilenko said. "We're still very inconsistent, but we're getting better. It just takes a little bit more time, I suppose."
Another letdown
• Andrei Kirilenko misses the potential game-tying layup at the buzzer
• Utah loses control in the fourth quarter
• Denver rallies for the win

" La pensión Loinaz es perfecta para pasar unos días en San Sebastián, por su ubicación en medio de la Zona Antigua y a escasos metros de la playa. Además del excelente trato de los caseros, de los que cabe destacar la impecable limpieza que mantienen en toda la pensión. El único inconveniente que puedes encontrar es coincidir con otras personas maleducadas que hagan excesivo ruido y no respeten el baño común, dejándolo muy sucio y desordenado. "- Anónimo
