Feeling the pinch? Or simply looking to trim your expenditure so you can save more for a rainy day that just lately - with escalating redundancies, company closures and investment busts - feels unnervingly imminent?
Here are the most effective ways to slash what are probably your biggest costs overnight.
Rates have been cut by 1.5 percentage points in the past year and may yet fall further. That won't be making mortgage holders feel nearly as warm and fuzzy as it should, though; Canstar says, depending on your lender, as little as 0.93 points has actually been passed on.
Even if this is your plight and you have a $300,000 mortgage, you could save an extra $179 a month. But you'll have to ask - lenders don't automatically reduce your payments on cuts as they increase them on rises (helping us pay less in the long run). You might be able to do better than that, too - four additional cuts better.
Your interest rate, if you're on one of the big banks' standard deals, is more than 1 percentage point above the best in the market (see Page 66). Point out you know this and you might not even have to switch lenders to save a further $184 a month. Be prepared to walk away if your institution doesn't acquiesce.
Of course, you could ultimately turn this money into a much larger sum and cut more than four years off your loan by continuing to pay it into your now-cheaper mortgage - but we're talking today about how to keep more of your hard-earned, so I'll spare you the lecture.
Fuel costs have come back from five-month highs, on oil price falls, but remain at painful levels.
CommSec estimates in the past three months the weekly average household fuel bill has spiked $18. Cutting this comes to how you fill up and use up.
Pay $1.30 instead of $1.50 and the average driver saves $14. You'll be more likely to find this not on Tuesdays, as was traditional, but closer to the weekend. No rhyme or reason to this beyond retailers adjusting prices to yield more profit.
There's a lot to do to reduce consumption. Start with big ideas such as car pooling or taking the bus (the Census says 66 per cent of us drive to work), then look at your car and driving habits.
Empty it - carrying around golf clubs will cost you; get it serviced so fuel use is optimised; curb your lead-foot - accelerate gently, and brake and change gears as if there are eggshells under the pedals, to notice a big difference.
There's been much talk about this one around the water cooler at my office as, whether it's justified or not, people reel from overnight increases as high as 100 per cent.
Don't put up with it! There are suppliers out there taking advantage of consumer discontent to grow their business. Jump on goswitch.com.au or switchwise.com.au to see what these are in your area (just be wary of signing up for long periods as the discounting is likely to heat up).
Look to your consumption then. Heaters, airconditioners and dryers are the most energy intensive - so limit your use of each. Choice and CSIRO research says just abandoning the dryer will save $127 a year. Wash in cold water, use economical shower heads and switch off appliances not in use to keep $403 more.
House and contents insurance premiums are biting particularly hard as policyholders pay the price for floods in Queensland and multiple natural disasters elsewhere. Add this to the annual rises in health premiums - 5 per cent this year - and insurance is becoming a massive drain.
First, a caution: you need it. Key is to determine how much you need and then to make sure your policies represent best value.
Price comparison websites - try iselect.com.au and canstar.com.au - are your friend here, too. Before switching, check that coverage is continuous.
Bit vexed, this one, as supporting the supermarket price wars will ultimately drive smaller players out of business and send prices up. It's a broader issue but there's an argument for favouring smaller players doing their best to remain competitive.
There are lots of ways to reduce your spend: don't shop hungry, plan meals well ahead and buy only what you need, cook what's in season, shop at night for discounts on perishables, and join friends to bulk-buy at food and grocers' markets.
On alcohol, consider cleanskin wine or - gulp - cut back. It all depends on how motivated you are to save.

Area Villages
KICY serves over 40 villages that dot the landscape of "Bush Alaska". There are no roads connecting the villages to other villages or to the outside world. Most of the residents are Alaskan Natives practicing a subsistence lifestyle, which means they hunt, fish, and gather most of their food in the traditional ways of their ancestors.
Travel from village to village is done by walking, by four-wheeler, by boat in summer, snow-machine (snowmobile) in winter, or by flying which can be done year round. All travel is impacted by harsh, arctic weather. At times you sit for days. You "can't get there from here."
KICY's Ptarmigan Telegraph serves to help connect people over this landscape by allowing them to send personal messages to one another over the air. This is especially true in the summer when people are out of the villages at their fish camps, or prospecting camps, when the only appliance they have may be a battery or solar operated radio, because there is no electricity.
CareForce is another program which serves to build community. At 9:02 every weekday morning, people can tune-in to KICY and listen to an encouraging devotional from a pastor who will then take the time to read and pray over the prayer requests that have been phoned into the station by our listeners from villages all over the listening area. This is by far our most popular program.

Text navigation? Many users I've talked to know how big a fan I am of CamelCase support. In Flash Builder Burrito, we've added support in ActionScript, MXML and CSS for moving the cursor between sub-words and we've also added punctuation support. To use the feature on Mac use OPTION + ARROW LEFT/RIGHT and on use Windows CTRL + ARROW LEFT/RIGHT. You can combine this with SHIFT to select sub-words as well.
Before Burrito, this feature only used the platform OS navigation text functions. It wasn't very consistent from left to right and it didn't know about specific ActionScript, MXML and CSS punctuation.
Here are some use cases for using sub-word navigation:
- Using the keyboard to move faster on a long line of code. Instead of just HOME, END, arrow keys or the mouse, you can use sub-word navigation to get to the correct word faster
- Select parts of names faster for copying, editing or removing. For example, if I have "ActionBarButtionSkinBase" and I want to copy out "ButtonSkinBase", I can use CTRL + SHIFT + ARROW LEFT 3 times to select just the text that I want. That's a lot more convenient than pressing and holding ARROW LEFT or using the mouse.

This was asked in another thread, but that person seemed to be using it illegally instead of for learning purposes. But again, if I were to broadcast the same MAC and ESSID as my access point, except at a much stronger signal, what will happen?
As in:
- Will someone pick up both or just the stronger one
- Will everyone connected to the access point be redirected to the re-broadcasted signal
- Anything else bad that could come from this
I'm going to try this now on Windows, since I only have 1 network card compatible with BT3.

I have a wordpress site and am trying to change the color of a couple links on one page of my site. I try changing the
 but it doesn't work. It works with normal fonts but not with links, which retain the color from the style css. Could someone tell me how I would change the color of a link on a page?
Which to you want to color differnelty? By targeting it, I mean creating a rule just for that one. For example, if you had this setup:

This is a link

you could "target" that  with this rule:
.lala a {color: pink;}
Then those styles will just target that link inside the paragraph with the class of lala.
So, again, which link do you need to target?
You have to color the link itself. E.g.
a {color: red;}
However, that will most likely color all links red, so you need a way to target just the links you want to. We'll need to see your page code to suggest how to do that. Do you have access to the HTML?
Hey there, and thank you very much for your help. OK, here is the html. The link I want to change the color of is: CLICK HERE TO GET STARTED NOW, which appears near the top of the page:

Our 8 Week Mindfulness Approach Anger Management™ program can help you with:

anger problems in marriages

conflicts with co-workers or boss

anger from a separation and divorce

feelings of frustration, insecurity, and disappointment

"Mindfulness Approach Anger Management™ is a brilliantly designed program, coming from the fiery inner-depths of someone who has truly transformed his own volcanic anger into powerful wisdom. I can assert with confidence that, if you follow this course faithfully, you too will transform, finding peace and joy in your life, even if before it was littered with the wreckage of your anger."

"Mindfulness is at the cutting edge in the field of anger management. Mindfulness Approach Anger Management™ is an excellent resource for utilizing mindfulness practice as an effective anger management tool."

Mindfulness Meditation: A Powerful Antidote to Chronic Anger
If anger is sabotaging your quality of life and destroying your peace of mind, there is a strong and effective antidote—one that's been implemented for thousands of years and has been proven more recently through scientific research. It's accurate to say that mindfulness is a centuries old and yet completely up to date anger management methodology. Mindfulness meditation is actually a very simple technique, and is especially effective in relieving the anger burdened mind.
Studies show that mindfulness helps anger management problems in a variety of ways. Extensive research shows that mindfulness increases emotional well being, improves overall satisfaction with life, creates a more flexible mind that is less easily triggered to anger, and more.
This research supports the thousands of years of anecdotal evidence, proving what the ancients have known all along: mindfulness works.
I try changing the
 but it doesn't work. It works with normal fonts but not with links, which retain the color from the style css. Could someone tell me how I would change the color of a link on a page?
If you just want to style all links on the page, then do this:
a {color: red;}
a:hover {color: blue;}
Of course, change to colors to suit. You have to target the actual  element to color it. Otherwise it will get the browser default (which is usually blue).
Looking at your sig link, I see this in your CSS:
a, a:visited, a:link {
color: #006699;
That's what's coloring your links currently.
I don't want to change all the links, just one on this page. I have tried to alter the , as I mentioned in the original post but it didn't work for me.
Can you say more about what you mean by target the  element?
I posted the one I want to change earlier:
"The link I want to change the color of is: CLICK HERE TO GET STARTED NOW, which appears near the top of the page:"
The code is:

CLICK HERE TOGET STARTED NOW

So you're saying I have to make an addition to the style.css to change the link. I can't do it from within the page html itself. OK I can do that...
Thank you again for your help. It's much appreciated.
Your best option is to put a special class, say, on the containing
 and then target it in you style sheet: e.g.
<p class="start">CLICK HERE TO

GET STARTED NOW

.start a {
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 16px;
color: #3ca328;
You could, of course, place all those styles inline (that is, in the HTML), but it's not very efficient—especially if you want to use the same style somewhere else.

<a style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 16px; color: #3ca328;" href="http://mindfulnessangermanagement.com/anger-management-programs/">CLICK HERE TO

GET STARTED NOW

@fifthhouse: As a best practice in future work you should consider removing all inline styles from the HTML. Try to keep all of your CSS in a CSS file.
OH this is great. And thanks for the heads up about css files. I"m a complete hack and have very little idea what I'm doing, so that's a good piece of advice for me, gives me a little more sense of how things work.
Not a hack...just learning

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 16/11/2012 (1739 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Michael Schick was in a truck accident more than three years ago, and like many people who have rubbed elbows with the Grim Reaper and lived to tell the tale, he started thinking afterward about what he had done with his life.
More precisely, he thought about what he hadn't done. Schick had worked for several years as a trucker for Bison Transport and before that as a technician on printing presses. Yet he had never pursued his passion: woodworking.
Even though it had been in the back of his mind for years, and he had actually started collecting tools about a decade ago after his brother was killed in accident while driving a truck, like many of us, he had procrastinated.
"I wanted to get off the road badly," says the 57-year-old owner of Michael's Woodworking and Handyman Service.
Yet he couldn't find the right moment until he nearly suffered the same fate as his sibling.
Soon after his accident, he found himself writing out a business plan.
"It was like a blueprint of what I wanted to do in the future -- what would make me happy -- because I had post-traumatic stress disorder."
With the support of his wife, Patricia, they borrowed against the house to build his home-based workshop. At first he kept his day job, working odd jobs on the side. Then, this past spring, he decided to go into business for himself full time. So far, work has been plentiful, he says.
Schick is one of thousands of boomers in Canada who are making -- or at least thinking about -- the jump from working full time for an employer to becoming their own boss, according to a recent survey by TD Bank.
"Over 50 per cent indicated they have started a small business or they intend on starting a small business in the next few years as they move into pre- and post-retirement," says Dan Demers, vice-president of small business banking at TD.
The results came as a surprise even for the bank, he says.
"The traditional thinking is boomers would save up enough, retire, go to the beach and never work again, but they actually have a keen interest in continuing to contribute and to be active in the business community."
In some cases, boomers are going on their own because they have no choice. They've been downsized, and finding full-time employment in uncertain economic times hasn't been a fruitful search.
But many are choosing to become their own boss voluntarily, he says.
"There are two trends that we found," he says.
"One is consulting and actually using their organizational and business experience to help other businesses, doing consulting in engineering, business, accounting or whatever it might be."
The Schicks are representative of the other trend. They launched a home-based business based on a lifestyle choice.
Patricia Schick, 65, says their path hasn't been without potholes.
"Working for yourself is a whole different ball game," she says. "For me, I worked at University of Manitoba, so I'd get up, go to work and come home, and that was it."
Working at home -- with your spouse -- has involved a "few wrinkles to iron out."
The biggest challenge for the couple has been striking a balance that includes enjoying life after decades of working and building their business.
"Financially, we were pretty good," she says, adding they've even had to hire an employee, who is 60 years old.
While managing the finances hasn't been difficult for them, starting a business later in life can be a risky proposition, Demers says.
"The risk is that you go in too deep and use too much of your personal assets, threatening the financial stability that you've built up over your career."
Yet boomers have a great deal of experience that gives them an advantage over other age groups starting businesses, he says.
"They usually have managerial experience, so they tend to make smart choices and their risk is going to be much lower because of that wisdom."
Not to mention they also often have a number of financial assets to back up their venture.
"Their personal balance sheet is critical, especially for the self-employed, sole-proprietor startups," he says.
"Essentially, the credit worthiness and history play a big factor in the financing decisions."
Still, the size of your bank account isn't the only deciding factor when a small business loan account manager decides to approve a loan. The business plan is also crucial.
No financial institution will take would-be entrepreneurs seriously without proof they've done their homework, says Shannon Coughlin, general manager at the Canada/Manitoba Business Service Centre (CMBSC).
"You need to be able to demonstrate that the business is going to be a success," she says. "The business plan allows people to make mistakes on paper, not out of their wallets."
But if you're just starting, the government-funded business centre should be your first stop.
"We have the largest collection of how-to-start-a-business books in North America," she says.
"And we also have hundreds of sample business plans."
The centre also helps fledgling entrepreneurs find money, providing them with access to Business Start Program loans of as much as $30,000 and connecting them with the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) for loans up to $50,000.
"What people should do is call us and we'll help them find the appropriate funding, because that's what we do."
For Schick, his new venture happened organically, so he didn't need to seek a business loan or even expert advice -- a fairly typical pattern for boomers who start a hobby business, Coughlin says.
They can slowly transition from being an employee to self-employment with not much of a shock to the pocketbook.
Still, like the Schicks, preparation long in advance is essential. Schick had been accumulating equipment for a decade to get ready.
But don't wait too long, his wife says.
"Get into it earlier rather than later."
Otherwise, you may find yourself mulling it over while the years slip by -- like her husband did, she says.
"It just kept nagging at him and finally, I said, 'Build the workshop and do it.' "
And he couldn't be happier.
Quick facts
Small business and building wealth: A big challenge for even successful entrepreneurs is an exit strategy. Many have sunk a lot of money into their business over many years, yet when it comes time to retire, they can face difficulties seeing a return on their equity. Still, according to the recent survey commissioned by Investors Group, many small business owners do invest substantially in RRSPs and other investments for retirement with the realization they may not be able to sell the business once they retire. Many, however, do plan to work long into retirement years, says Jack Courtney, vice-president of high-net-worth planning at Investors Group. "A third of them work into their 70s," he says, adding a survey found 14 per cent said they never plan to retire. But those entrepreneurs who have successful incorporated businesses have a real opportunity to carry a substantial amount of wealth into retirement if they can sell the business. "If you're selling a business that qualifies and find a buyer, then you can make use of a $750,000 lifetime capital gain exemption on the sale of shares of the business," Courtney says.
The Canada/Manitoba Business Service Centre -- an entrepreneur's launching pad: Service centre general manager Shannon Coughlin says people who want to start a small business but are worried they lack experience can take advantage of a number of free educational programs offered at CMBSC. The centre's guest advisor program, for example, provides free access to lawyers, accountants, e-business specialists and banking professionals. Free seminars are also offered on a monthly basis on various topics, such as using social media, selling your product or service to government and developing a business plan.

Ford leads Boise State to Second place finish at Colby Invitational
SAN JOSE, Calif. - The Boise State women's golf team placed three individuals in the top 10 of the Colby Invitational Tuesday, finishing in second as a team.
McKenzie Ford and Sammie Pless each matched their career bests, finishing tied for fourth and seventh, respectively, and Samantha Martin registered her team-leading third top-10 finish of the season, concluding the tournament tied for 10th.
Each is just in her sophomore season with the Broncos.
Ford carded a two-round total of 151 (71-80, +7) at the 6,146-yard Silver Creek Valley Country Club, including an opening-round, 1-under 71 - a career low.
Boise State carded a final-round 313 (+25), falling from first to second place with a score of 616 (303-313, +40). The Broncos had entered the final round with a two-stroke lead, but tournament-host Santa Clara claimed the team title, edging Boise State by one stroke.
The Broncos will conclude their fall season at the Winthrop Intercollegiate in Rock Hill, S.C., Nov. 2-3.

LOS ANGELES - Stanford won the quarterback battle Saturday at UCLA by rolling out its own redshirt freshman in Kevin Hogan.
Hogan, who has only three collegiate starts, has the No. 8 Cardinal offense moving along after just about the most seamless quarterback transition possible. The 6-foot-4 signal-caller beat out senior Josh Nunes more than three weeks ago, when Stanford's offense stalled early against lowly Colorado.
The team's newly minted offensive leader hasn't put up eye-popping numbers, but working within Stanford's power run game he hasn't needed to.
In a 35-17 win over the Bruins, Hogan - who wasn't a serious player in the offseason position battle - threw for just 160 yards and a touchdown on 15-of-22 passing.
"They didn't change a whole lot structurally," UCLA head coach Jim Mora said. "He's a really good decision-maker and he's poised. We put decent pressure on him and he made some tight throws. It's a cliche, but he plays within himself. He understands his strengths and weaknesses.
"They do an excellent job of accentuating his strengths."
Hogan had his first turnover-free game against the Bruins.
"The last few weeks, he's been pretty much the same," Stanford head coach David Shaw said. "Not perfect, but gosh, he's so instinctive.
"He's not playing like a redshirt freshman. He's playing like a guy beyond his years."
Shaw also said the team has grown much more comfortable with Hogan running the offense. The Cardinal have been able to increase the number of audibles they call.
Mora added he was impressed with Hogan's ability to run the ball. Well-protected by a beefy offensive line, the quarterback scrambled to keep plays alive and tacked on 12 yards rushing to his efficient passing performance.
Recovery week
Mora said he still wasn't changing the routine. Just altering it.
The coach has been loath to tweak anything in the team's regular schedule throughout the season, but a short practice week leading up to Friday's Pac-12 Championship has forced his hand just slightly. On Monday, normally a day off for the team, the Bruins went full speed but without pads.
"I'm pretty sure the team we're playing against went light contact too," defensive end Datone Jones said. "It would be dumb for anyone to come out, knowing we have a big, physical game coming up. Our bodies haven't fully recovered. That's a 48-hour period, and we'll be back in full pads. It's important so someone doesn't get hurt."
Mora also used artificial crowd noise for the first time since spring practices. He said he wasn't necessarily concerned about simulating the environment at Stanford, but wanted to add some distractions for the team.

Somerset 2s
Morganians 7, Bridgwater & Albion 24
THIS derby match was played in good spirit but saw Albion come away with the spoils after a 7-24 win.
Albion took a 0-14 half-time lead thanks to tries from Dave Richards and Richard Willis, both converted by Jonathan Frost.
Morgs got back into the game through Matt Neal's try and Stef Pierce's conversion but Bridgy sealed the win through a Ryan Tidball try and a penalty and conversion from Frost.
Next week, Albion are at home to Somerton and Morgs travel to Cheddar. Both games are a 3pm kick-off.

WEBSTER, Texas - A Webster man accused of soliciting sex from a woman posing as an underage girl on Facebook has been arrested.
It was early September when a League City woman pretending to be a 15-year-old girl "friended" Daniel Riekstins, 26, on Facebook. A
According to court documents, he messaged her, stating, "I like younger women."
She responded, according to court documents, "Would you have sex with a 15-year-old?"
According to court documents, Riekstins wrote "Yeah, you call me."
Investigators said the two exchanged sexually-explicit messages and that Riekstins asked to meet the girl he thought was 15 so they could have sex.
Police said the 36-year-old woman posing as the minor never met him and contacted the authorities instead.
"He didn't deny the specific comments and messages I was showing him regarding this victim. He didn't deny those comments being made," Webster police Detective David Nettles said.
Police said the woman decided to play detective and set this whole thing up after an acquaintance told her Riekstins had possibly been soliciting underage girls for sex on Facebook.
Police, who poured through at least 2,000 of Riekstins' Facebook pages, said he attempted to communicate with numerous other underage girls.
Riekstins was arrested at his parents' apartment Tuesday morning. He has been charged with online solicitation of a minor.
His relatives said they were stunned.
"He's innocent. He did not do this. He's innocent and he will get his judgment day" Riekstins' aunt said.
Webster police have not identified any other victims but believe there may be more. They encouraged anyone with information to come forward and contact them at 281-332-2426.

I was pretty much looking at whether or not my thinking was corrent or not?
This is the only time i can think of when star imports would be useful.
https://github.com/metulburr/pong/blob/ ... trol.py#L4
This is just a pong game. If i was to add a lot more features, or whatever, this line would get rediculously long. OR is there another alternative to star imports even in this situation?

My grandmother's cookie jar sat on a shelf in our cupboard. None of the smaller hands in our home could reach it, but it didn't really matter because there were seldom any cookies in that jar anyway.
Steeped in the long ago culture of being a farmer's wife, Grandma struggled with the lifestyle. Oh she loved the animals (especially the baby ones) on the farm, and her own little piece of heaven was her raspberry patch, where she could spend hours among the prickly branches and away from noisy children. But while one usually thinks of a farmer's wife as that apron-clad woman who could spend hours cooking and baking wonderful and delicious recipes, nothing could have been further from the truth. Don't misunderstand. Grandma could cook and bake like nobody's business, she just didn't want to ...
Which leads me back to her cookie jar, which was usually filled with anything but cookies. Thumbtacks, rubber bands, an extension cord, some labels off some cans or jars she was collecting for some benevolent cause, S&H Green Stamps, jacks, a squirt gun she confiscated ... the list of what lived at one time or another in her cookie jar was endless — minus the cookies.
I've spent years thinking about that cookie jar, always hoping there would be a slight chance a stray cookie may have found its way into the container. Carefully pulling that ceramic cookie jar off the shelf, I'd be disappointed more times than not, since a sweet treat was nowhere to be found. On the other hand, I often discovered items in the cookie jar that occupied a good share of my time as a child — a little of this, and a little of that — all combined and stirred together — and clearly a recipe for a young child's imagination to take off and run rampant. But like I said, many years have passed since I pulled that cookie jar off the shelf.
Fast forward to today ...
Those of you who have regularly read my columns since I first started putting pen to paper, fingers to keyboard, have done so for the nearly 20 years. Can you believe it's been that long? Twenty years times one column each week (for a couple of years I was writing three columns every week) equals more than 1,000 columns in my career.
Ironically just like the items in my grandmother's cookie jar, those essays have been just as varied — from walks down the proverbial Memory Lane to observations of today to thoughts about the future. My words have come from my heart — some happy, some sad, but I guarantee you that if you cried when you read one of my columns, I also shed some tears when I wrote it; and if my words caused you to laugh, there was, no doubt, a smile on my face when I penned that particular essay as well.
Through the years, I've had many folks who have asked me if I ever thought about writing a book, a collection of sorts from some of the columns I've written throughout the years. Quite frankly, it's been a dream of mine for a long time. But as elusive as that cookie jar was on Grandma's shelf, so was a book with my name on the front cover. It just wasn't meant to be ... until now.
In a couple of weeks, my first book will hit the streets. I've appropriately named it, "Grandma's Cookie Jar," and it's filled with a variety of items I hope you'll enjoy. Some of those essays are from the past, while others will be new to you. But new or old, it is a collection that has come from my heart — truly a dream come true.
I'll be having a book signing on Saturday, Sept. 7 at Hornbaker Gardens in rural Princeton.
This book is not only for you, but it's also because of you — our readers, my friends. My heart skips a beat or two every time I think about it.
I hope you're going to like what you find in "Grandma's Cookie Jar."

2013 Indianapolis Colts Schedule Released Highlighted by Peyton Manning's Return to Indianapolis
I already know the answer, but I'll go ahead and ask anyway. Are you ready for some football?
The answer is, "HECK YEAH!" (or some variation).
With a week to go until the 2013 NFL Draft, the League officially released the weekly schedule for the upcoming season, giving fans and analysts everywhere something to talk about until the preseason begins with the annual Hall of Fame Game between the Miami Dolphins and the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday, August 4th.
Thanks to the Colts amazing 11-win turnaround last season, the team finds themselves with four prime time games in 2013 after only one in 2012 (a Thursday night win against Jacksonville on NFL Network).
In case you don't know, here's how an NFL team's 16 game schedule is put together:
- Each team plays the other three teams in their division twice (one home and one away game) – 6 games
- One game against each team in another division within the conference. The Colts division is the AFC South which is scheduled to take on the AFC West this year (San Diego, Oakland, Denver, and Kansas City) – 4 games
- >One game against each team from another division in the opposite conference (NFC). The AFC South is scheduled against the NFC West this year (St. Louis, San Francisco, Seattle, and Arizona) – 4 games
- The final two games are against teams that finished the previous season in the same place in the remaining two divisions within a teams conference. The Colts finished 2nd in the AFC South and will face the teams that finished 2nd in the AFC East and AFC North, which this year will be the Dolphins in the East and Bengals in the North. – 2 games
Confused yet? No matter, the point is we're closer to football being back!
While no NFL schedule is "easy" per sé, three of the Colts first four games are against teams that have generally underperformed, or just flat out haven't been any good for a few years. The first major test comes in week three when they travel cross-country to take on last season's Super Bowl runner-up, the San Francisco 49er's who, on paper, look to be just as good, if not better than they were last year.
The game every Colts fan should have circled on their calendar comes in week seven when Peyton Manning returns to the house he essentially built for the first time wearing a Denver Broncos jersey for that week's Sunday night game on NBC. It will be interesting to see the reaction Manning gets from the fans in attendance after the mixed feeling during the whole process that eventually led to his released a little over a year ago.
While I'm thrilled to see the team back in prime time, my one gripe with the schedule is that I wish they had spaced those games out a little more throughout the season instead of essentially butting them up against each other over a six week period. The only breaks being the teams bye week on October 27th, and a Noon kickoff (1pm EST) against St. Louis on November 10th. But again, at least football will be on TV, and that's frankly all we need.
The complete Colts schedule is as follows:
One other match up I personally find intriguing, but haven't heard any analyst mention yet, is week 12 against the Arizona Cardinals who hired former Colts Offensive Coordinator, Bruce Arians as their head coach during the offseason. Arians, who took over Indianapolis as interim head coach while Chuck Pagano battled leukemia last season, was the first interim head coach to win the league's Coach of the Year Award. He'll certainly have an inside track on how to rattle Andrew Luck and will no doubt use that to his advantage.
So how will the Colts do in 2013? Barring any unforeseen injuries to key players, I don't think another 11-5 season with a berth in the playoff's is beyond the realm of possibility. What do you think?

updating a nested parametric sweep
I use nested parametric sweep and once in a while after the model has been solved, I would like to add one or two additional values to my parameters to fill the gap between them or increase the range of them. It is also desirable to have the results in the same file so that it could be analyzed, stored and recovered easily. Since some models would take a long time to solve for all the parametric sweeps, I was wondering would it be possible to somehow solve only for the new values and have the parametric solution updated so that it incorporates new parameters as well?

England dodged the Aberdeen rain, and played sufficiently well too, to start their much-anticipated new era with a heartening 39-run one-day international victory over Scotland.
A half-century from Ian Bell, and opening stand of 83 with his captain Alastair Cook, allowed the visitors to set a Duckworth-Lewis target of 173 in a match which started several hours late at 23-overs-per-side and was reduced to 20 by another heavy shower.
Then as the bad weather stayed away at last, James Anderson soon had the hosts in trouble against the new ball - and despite some clean hitting from Aberdeen's own Michael Leask, James Tredwell finished an eventful spell with his best ODI figures of four for 41.
England therefore safely negotiated the 'banana skin' Cook warned against, to start his association with returning coach Peter Moores on a winning note.
They could be encouraged too that they have at least begun to put a little distance between themselves and their miserable winter of Ashes whitewash, Twenty20 humbling at the hands of Holland and the messy aftermath of both.
Bell (50) and Cook laid the platform for a total of 167 for six, commuted marginally upwards after England were interrupted again by the elements mid-innings.
Eoin Morgan also weighed in with a handy contribution, as did Joe Root, to put the onus on Scotland to bat well after putting their visitors in.
Bell's third half-century in five ODI innings came in just 33 balls, contained four fours and two sixes and took him second behind only Paul Collingwood in England's all-time list of 50-over runscorers.
His first maximum, up the wicket to Majid Haq's off-spin and struck over long off, brought up England's 50 in the ninth over.
But as soon as he reached his own 50, he was gone next ball - down on one knee to try to manufacture a sweep off left-arm seamer Rob Taylor and bowled round his legs.
Morgan had time to join Cook and time Taylor for a sweet boundary past mid off to get off the mark second ball, before - having already played through 15 minutes of heavy rain - the players had to leave the field, with the total 87 for one in the 12th over.
Cook and Morgan returned, the former moving to within one hit of his 50 but very well-caught trying to do so - by a diving Calum MacLeod at long off to give Taylor a second wicket.
Taylor pulled off another outstanding catch to snuff out the threat from Jos Buttler, at deep midwicket, off Josh Davey (three for 28).
But with Morgan also gone caught-behind, Root counted four with a reverse dab off Iain Wardlaw's first ball and reached 17 off just six until he holed out in the deep too, as Scotland kept holding their catches.
Chris Jordan hit the only ball he faced for six over long on to end the innings, though, and Anderson then soon undermined Scotland's run chase by seeing off both openers in his first two overs.
Matt Cross chopped on, and MacLeod went across his stumps and was bowled round his legs.
Anderson would have made it three had wicketkeeper Buttler not dropped Kyle Coetzer on one.
But there was still to be no innings to remember for the Scotland captain on his home ground, because he was bowled sweeping at Tredwell via a deflection off his arm.
A 10-over score of 55 for three suggested only the margin of England's victory remained in doubt, weather permitting.
Leask had other ideas, taking particular toll of Tredwell with some towering blows as he hit five sixes and two fours from just 16 balls.
But the off-spinner had the last laugh when another attempted big hit resulted in a catch for Anderson at deep midwicket - and Tredwell then took two more wickets in the last of his four overs to keep the equation comfortable for England.

Nothing new here, just another over-hyped report.
I will bet you the 10 grand you owe Jermainiac that he's referring to the AP article about Johnny Davis today.
Nothing to see here.
[edit] I just noticed you said "leading". If he really is talking about Johnny Davis that's deplorable reporting.
Come to the Dark Side -- There's cookies!
I bet he says Reggie Theus, 5 days after everyone saw the espn page, days late as usual for Wofford.
Kevin O'Neal?
Wow, what would we do without Wofford?? He says Theus would very much like to have an interview with the Pacers. He's a hot commodity, blah blah blah...
Oh, and JO didn't ask for a trade to NY!!!!! I'm glad we got all that cleared up
Reggie Theus.
Bogus re-hashed report. All they reported is that Reggie is interested and would like an interview. So he hasn't even interviewed yet.
I'm about done watching local sports
I just saw this, I have 6:23PM, so I thought maybe they hadn't said yet. It's still showing sports on WTHR. Did they already cover the Pacers?
Bah what misleading crap on their part.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
There was a time when seeing a subject heading starting with "WTHR" meant something big and official was happening. No more. It'll take some time to completely get that feeling out of my system when I see it, but I'm walking down that path.
I hate local TV news sports
Okay, so he equates Reggie Theus wanting the job to "leading coaching candidate"? At least you could defend saying that about Davis, since he's still with the organization. Can't wait to see what he does say about Johnny. I can see it, on Friday they'll say, "Pacers set to sign a familiar face, details at 6:20!"
Come to the Dark Side -- There's cookies!
They teased this at 5:55, and what they really should have done to create a stir is report that "Reggie" wants an interview to be the pacers head coach. 99% of the viewers would think they meant Reggie Miller. I mean if they are going to continue to try and create interest, why not really shake things up.
I mean if Theus had intereviewed for the job and WTHR was the only local station to know this and they reported that, then I'd say OK, you have something.
Afterall there are probably 30 coaches who would like an interview for the job - they could do one story per day for the next month
damn, i missed it. oh, well not really disapointed at all. this seems to be the style anymore. crappy journalism followed by crapier journalism. mislead and distort are the theme. and the media wonders sometimes why the public has general distrust of them.
sounds like more of the same- unfortunately.
They may as well merge with ESPN.
Theus is so full of himself it isn't funny. He is a loose cannon and I don't think will get along well with athletes at an NBA level. The way he spews at the media without thinking or checking with his administration, he would always be in trouble. NMSU thinks he's cool, but there's not much else going on in Las Cruces.

Topic: General info
I am new to all this, as you may have read. As I sit and type, my Mum is, at long last, having surgery. I will return to the hospital in a few hours, and just hope the op is a success.
A couple of things I wanted to ask......I read a couple of threads about people suffering from having fluid inside them after surgery. What's all that about? Can someone explain? Just wondering what to expect.
Also, I am interested to know all about follow up treatment, like chemo/radiotherapy. Now, I read on a few sites, that radiotherapy/chemotherapy, have no proven effect on this particular type of cancer. Yet I keep reading stuff on here about people having said treatments. Any comments on that?
My Mum has type 1 tumour I believe, and understand that it means that it confined, as far as they can tell, purely to the bile duct itself. The surgeon was most optimistic that he can get the tumour out...............I guess I'll know later today!
Also, reading on the net, it seems that EVEN if they can cut out the tumour, life expectancy is still fairly compromised, 1-5 years? Why is that? Is it because the tumours grow back/spread?
Sorry for the barrage of questions, any answers would be much appreciated.
By the way, I am in Greece! My Mum lives here, hence the operation is here, as she didn't want to come back to England, she's lived here 17 years! But it is really so different to UK etc.....hard to get info out of the docs, partly a language problem, as I don't speak Greek, but also, I get the impression, that people just let the docs get on with it, and don't ask much. Which is why I'm asking you lot!!!! My Mum spaeks Greek, but is essentially Greek in mentality now, and is really not concerned with details!! She just trusts and lets them get on with it!!

ORLANDO, Fla. - Orlando police is expanding its presence in the community by opening a new substation on Wednesday.
The new office is located on Raleigh Street next to the Valencia College west campus.
The new station opens just days after two female students were attacked at the school's west campus.
The two victims spoke only to Local 6, saying a man knocked one of them unconscious and punched the other in the mouth. The attacker was still on the loose as of Wednesday morning.
Orlando police say while the substation was planned well before the attack at Valencia College, the new office will allow officers to respond to calls quicker in the southwestern part of the city and increase the police presence near the campus.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 17/4/2013 (1587 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Many have called the 2013 Manitoba budget the "taxing budget" because of the one percentage point increase in the provincial sales tax, but it is more appropriate to call it the "inequality and poverty budget" because its main effects are to increase inequality and maintain high levels of poverty. It justifies this by claiming that all Manitobans will benefit; but what it does not say is that affluent Manitobans will benefit the most and poor Manitobans the least.
First, it is important to note there is significant income inequality in the Manitoba economy, so doing nothing about it is problematic, and taking action to worsen it is damaging. There is clear evidence economic inequality erodes health and increases social conflict, including crime.
The most recent Statistics Canada data are from 2010. In that year, on average, the richest 10 per cent of Manitoba families with children received 9.3 times as much income from all sources ($207,223) as the poorest 10 per cent ($22,309).
Put differently, 2.5 per cent of all income received by families with children went to the poorest 10 per cent of families and 24 per cent went to the richest 10 per cent.
How does this budget increase inequality? Both by the means through which it raises revenues and through the expenditure choices that it makes.
First, on the revenue side, the government could have taken action based on the ability to pay so that those with higher incomes and more capacity to pay would have borne more of the burden. One way to do this would be to add an additional bracket at the top end of the income hierarchy. All Manitobans who earn more than $67,000 pay the same marginal tax rate for income earned over that amount.
Why not establish a new bracket for those earning more than $135,000 as the federal government does? This would have acted to decrease economic inequality.
But the taxation measure the government took does the opposite. It is unfair in that it treats those in different circumstances as equal. The finance minister characterized the increase to the provincial sales tax as "the fairest way to reach these goals, because the cost will be shared by everyone."
But is it fair that the working poor and welfare recipients pay the same consumption-tax rates as Manitoba's millionaires? In fact, since the poor have less money to save or invest and must spend more of their income on daily living, the provincial sales tax increase likely amounts to a higher percentage of their income than for the rich.
And how will those on minimal fixed incomes bear the increased purchasing costs? Did the government consider raising the Manitoba child benefit for the working poor or employment and income assistance rates?
What about the expenditure side? Has the government really taken action to reduce poverty and economic inequality as claimed? Not by a long shot. There is a paltry increase of $20 per month that will not come close to allowing welfare recipients to achieve access to 75 per cent of the rental housing market. More progress would have been possible because the government has budgeted a $4.5-million decrease in welfare expenditure from last year.
This is especially important because adequate housing has been found to be an important determinant of health. The government probably is increasing demand for health-care services through its inaction.
And then there's the $250 increase to the personal income tax exemption. This is one of a series of increases that applies equally to the richest and poorest Manitobans, except for the fact that those who are too poor to pay any taxes do not benefit at all. Most of the benefits go to those above the poverty line, so it does nothing to fight poverty and little to counter inequality.

Originally written on Pro Boxing Fans | Last updated 8/26/14
The rematch between Bernard Hopkins and Chad Dawson - or the first official fight between the pair, depending on your perspective - is coming up in just a week. Right here, you can get a nice video preview of Hopkins vs. Dawson II from HBO Boxing. It's the official promo video for the fight, coming your way on Saturday, April 28th live on HBO, from Atlantic City, NJ. Of course we're all familiar with the saga from the first fight and the controversy that came from that. First, it came to a disappointing close in less than two rounds of action due to an injury to the shoulder of Hopkins, as the two fighters got tangled up. Then, Dawson was called the winner and awarded the title. Then, the decision was reversed by the sanctioning body, and then the fight was officially declared a No Contest. Whew. Now, about six months later, we'll finally get to see how Dawson and Hopkins stack up against one another. Enjoy the Hopkins vs. Dawson II promo video from HBO Boxing right here.

Garza's injury opens door for Cardinals
Crew bullpen falters after righty's six shutout innings
ST. LOUIS -- The conspiracy theorists can discuss all they want the circumstances surrounding Matt Garza's sudden departure Sunday, but the final result was not open for debate.
A 3-2 loss to the Cardinals sent the Brewers away from Busch Stadium with the slimmest of leads in the National League Central.
Garza exited a one-hitter after 71 pitches and six scoreless innings because of a left rib cage strain, a troublesome development in itself that was made worse by the fact it was not relayed to the radio and TV broadcasters covering the game. That opened Brewers manager Ron Roenicke to significant second-guessing as the Cardinals rallied quickly against Garza's replacements.
Zach Duke retired only one of the three batters he faced and Jeremy Jeffress opened his outing by allowing three straight singles, including Oscar Taveras' go-ahead hit, as the Cardinals scored three times in the seventh inning to claim the series, two games to one.
"They dodged a bullet today," Garza said.
The Brewers, meanwhile, absorbed one. Including his outing Sunday, Garza has allowed only two runs and eight hits in 21 innings over three starts since a nightmarish outing in Washington D.C. coming out of the All-Star break. Against St. Louis, he allowed only a Matt Adams double that sneaked down the line past Brewers first baseman Mark Reynolds, while striking out four batters, hitting one and walking none.
Garza said he felt a muscle grab on his left side on his next to last pitch.
"It was like, 'Son of a gun,'" Garza said. "You put a bullpen in that situation where everybody is caught off guard. Your starter has 70 pitches, nobody assumes he's coming out."
Garza told reporters it was his own decision to come out of the game, prompting questions about why television cameras saw him with a helmet on his head and a bat in his hand in the top of the seventh inning. Garza was quickly called back and replaced by pinch-hitter Lyle Overbay.
It was a miscommunication, according to Roenicke.
"He wasn't going on deck. He didn't understand what I was telling him down below," Roenicke said. "I told him he was done, but he figured he was still going to go up there [to bat]. I talked to him before that. He said he couldn't go [pitch]. When you're talking about obliques, it's not a question of whether a guy can go out there or not. He can't go out there."
Asked whether there was a chance of it being a long-term issue, Roenicke said, "there's a chance."
"I'm going to stay positive and say it's not bad," Garza said, "but it's bad enough to where I had to take myself out of the game, and I don't do that. I had to look at long-term more than short-term. I could have kept going and made it worse, and I could have been out, probably, the rest of the year."
As it is, he could still miss some time. Garza will be examined in Milwaukee on Monday, an off-day for the team, by Dr. William Raasch. Garza suffered a similar injury, but more serious in his estimation, during Spring Training with the Cubs last year and did not debut until May 21.
If the Brewers need a replacement, Marco Estrada would be the likeliest choice. He made 18 starts this season before a move to long relief.
"[Garza] wasn't giving us much room, there's no question," Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. "But their bullpen has been very good as well, so we didn't think necessarily once we got him out of the game that we were going to be able to do just as we wanted. But the guys put together some great at-bats."
Duke entered first and surrendered a home run to Matt Holliday, the first homer off him by a right-handed hitter this season in 97 plate appearances. When another lefty hitter, Adams, followed with a single, Roenicke went to hard-throwing right-hander Jeffress, who surrendered singles to the first three batters he faced, including Taveras' floater to center field which gave the Cardinals a 3-2 lead. Jeffress had Tavares in an 0-and-2 count before just missing with two consecutive inside pitches. Jeffress was convinced he had Tavares struck out on a 1-and-2 offering, but did not get a call from plate umpire Will Little.
When Jeffress came back with a 96-mph fastball toward the middle of the plate, Taveras served it into center field for a go-ahead hit.
"These umpires haven't seen me much, and my ball moves a lot," Jeffress said.
Duke had not allowed a run in 16 straight appearances before the Cardinals scored against him in back-to-back outings in this series.
Cardinals right-hander John Lackey earned the victory in his St. Louis debut by holding the Brewers to two runs on seven hits in seven innings. Milwaukee did its scoring early, getting Aramis Ramirez's two-out RBI single in the first inning and Reynolds' solo home run in the second.
Reynolds, who leads the Brewers with 19 homers this season, had been 2-for-11 with eight strikeouts in his previous meetings with Lackey.

If ousted Danske Bank chief executive Eivind Kolding's controversial advertising campaign persuaded any customers to take their accounts elsewhere, that is some achievement. Bank customers are reluctant to change banks regardless of what the advertising says.
I may be an extreme case – I have been with the same bank for 35 years – but international studies suggest I am not unusual. A worldwide survey last year by EY, the professional services firm, found that just a third of customers had ever changed their main bank.
Of course, Mr Kolding's aim was to persuade customers to put their money in his bank rather than to take it out. The problem was that the Danske Bank ad ("A new normal demands news standards"), which featured, among other things, street rioters, Occupy campaigners and crumbling icebergs, was a category error.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – Saint Leo sophomore tennis standout Maria Benkirane has been named to the 2012-13 Capital One Academic All-District Women's At-Large First Team, announced by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Friday morning.
This marks the first time in only her second season in the Green and Gold that Benkirane has earned First Team All-District honors.
In her second year in the Green and Gold, Benkirane earned all-conference honors behind a dominating performance, going 18-3 overall while she also went 7-1 in the conference. Excelling in her sophomore season, the Casablanca, Morocco native played the majority of her 2013 season at No. 4 singles where she totaled an overall record of 9-2 while at the No. 3 spot she went 8-1. As with her fellow all SSC teammate Daszkiewicz, she was versatile at all flights, compiling a 1-0 record at No. 2 singles.
The Saint Leo doubles tandem of Benkirane and Pauline Helgesson earned the No. 20 spot in the ITA rankings to help further solidify the Lions' sophomore within the team. The duo went 17-7 overall and 5-2 in the tough Sunshine State Conference. Playing primarily out of the top doubles spot, Helgesson and Benkirane went 10-5 while also posting a 7-2 record at the No. 2 spot.
The prestigious award honors the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances athletically and in the classroom. Capital One has been the entitlement rights holder to CoSIDA's Academic All-America teams programs since 2011.
First-team Academic All-District® honorees advance to the Capital One Academic All-America® Team ballot, where first-, second- and third-team All-America honorees will be selected later this month.

Bernard Tomic's Australian Open preparations could begin in searing 43 degree temperatures on Tuesday as Sydney International tournament directors consider allowing the men to play through the extreme heat that is forecast for Sydney's west.
Under the Women's Tennis Association's extreme weather condition rule, a 10-minute break is allowed between the second and third set once the Heat Stress Index reaches 30.1 degrees or the ground temperature hits 34 degrees, if it is requested by just one of the women in the match.
However, there is no such precaution for the men, leaving the safety of the male competitors in the hands of tournament officials.
The schedule for tomorrow's play won't be announced until this evening, but it's likely the all-Aussie first round showdown between Tomic and Marinko Matosevic will be set for the prime time of 5pm, potentially sheltering the pair from the full brunt of the ferocious conditions predicted for mid-afternoon.
Tournament directors will use a formula (Wet Bulb Globe Temperature), often used in the military, that takes into consideration the humidity, air temperature, court temperature, wind speed and radiation to deem whether conditions are safe enough for play at Sydney Olympic Park.
While the women are almost certain to benefit from an extended break between the second and third sets, the WTA has no rule that suspends play indefinitely.
Tournament officials are in discussion and are likely to wait until tomorrow before a decision is made, with the safety of not only the players, but staff and spectators, being considered.
Heat Stress Monitor readings are taken 30 minutes prior to match play, at noon and just before the last match, while Australian safety regulations are also being taken in consideration.
If play is suspended for more than 30 minutes, the players will be allowed a five-minute warm-up once they return to the court.
Former world No.1 Caroline Wozniacki seemed unphased about the scorching heat predicted in Sydney over the week when asked on Sunday after her first round victory against Urzsula Radwanska.
"Lovely, I can get a tan and my feet can burn a little bit," she said jokingly.
"But it's similar for everyone. You just need to focus on what you are doing out there and not focus on the heat.
"You know it can get really hot here in Australia sometimes and that's a part of the game. If you are fit physically, it makes it easier to cope with the heat."
Last year's Wimbledon runner-up, Agnieszka Radwanska, said she'll be taking steps to ensure she copes with the harsh weather.
"Well, for sure lots of drinking, and already today I think is good to be prepared for tomorrow," she said.
"But you never know. Sometimes you have a better day. Sometimes it's the worst day that you just can't really play your best tennis in these conditions.
"So you never know, especially when tomorrow will be very, very hot."

HTC Rezound getting its long-awaited Android 4.0 update on Sunday?
0. phoneArena posted on 28 Jul 2012, 17:38
A leaked document listing Verizon's software updates for the week shows that the HTC Rezound will be getting its long awaited Android 4.0 update on Sunday; HTC had been discussing updating the device since March...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

How the hell the REZOUND gets 4.0 and the Inspire doesn't?
5. Allen3697 (Posts: 86; Member since: 26 Mar 2012)
The Rezound is dual core and Inspire isn't?
10. JC557 (Posts: 1794; Member since: 07 Dec 2011)
The Thunderbolt and Incredible 2 are expected (so far) to receive ICS later this year, sometime after the Rezound.

It's also a big deal that the HTC Trophy Windows Phone is also scheduled for an update. I suppose it's the Tango update. Please post an article about this.

7. letsb4real25 (Posts: 21; Member since: 28 Dec 2011)
Been running a completely functional version of ICS since January but it will be nice to get a little update. I'm more interested in the radios and when this hits I won't install it until the devs have optimized it and removed all of the bloatware.
8. jroc74 (Posts: 6019; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
Welll...looks like its time to charge up my Rezound...
9. TOdoubleD (Posts: 114; Member since: 28 Mar 2011)
Why does the document say you can pull the update on 6/1? Fake? I hope not, but I'll believe this when I see it.
12. babyboy14622 (Posts: 36; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
tomorrow hopefully everyone starts to see the new update come thru for the htc rezound but if not then sometime soon it will

About time to get rid of Laggy Sense 3.5 ...Reminds me Of the Changes from Windows Vista(Sense 3.5) To Windows 7(Sense 4.0)
14. PAPINYC (banned) (Posts: 2315; Member since: 30 Jul 2011)
" Wat' Ju' talkin' 'bout, Willis ?"
Rezound's not laggy; you want laggy, try the DROID dis-CHARGE (had one for 4 freakin' months: "HATED IT!") or the iPhone 4S.
I've had the Rezound for almost a week (ditched the dis-CHARGE), it's pretty zippy and fast.
A good second to my RAZR and I'm really enjoying Sense again, especially on 1.5 gHz!
18. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3117; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
lol I get what you are saying but let's be honest.....any phone that has come out in the last year or two is WAY more zippy and responsive as the Droid Charge. I don't know what happened to that phone. Even the original Galaxy S phones were more responsive and way less laggy than that phone. They rushed it out for LTE and the first batch of LTE phones had a lot of problems for Verizon. The Thunderbolt seemed to be the most stable but it could have been because it was running a second gen single core processor and had more RAM. But you saw what happened to the original Droid Bionic and how long it took them to release the second version.
16. OptimusOne (Posts: 694; Member since: 22 May 2012)
actually you don't get sense 4.0
you get sense 3.6 which is basically sense 3.5, but based on ics
21. letsb4real25 (Posts: 21; Member since: 28 Dec 2011)
You're right we get 3.6. From my experience 3.6 is smoother than 3.5. I don't know if it's just on dev builds or if it'll be on the stock build too
22. Superpiff (Posts: 36; Member since: 29 Jul 2012)
Its with the stock build also played with the vivid before and after sense3.6 and it was much smoother after its update
17. tedkord (Posts: 14133; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
Yeah, Sense 3.5 didn't even lag on my single core Thunderbolt. Try again.
20. OptimusOne (Posts: 694; Member since: 22 May 2012)
or the HTC sensation XL
19. hypergamer1231 (Posts: 1; Member since: 28 Jul 2012)
Did anyone even notice the attached image says HTC trophy Apollo update approved and the date mentioned is 08/01.Isnt that weird
23. AdamW33 (Posts: 39; Member since: 25 Aug 2011)
Anyyone get it yet? Still waiting...
24. rockstarlive (Posts: 307; Member since: 19 Oct 2011)
No. I didn't get it. I am gonna check around tomorrow early morning.
25. JC557 (Posts: 1794; Member since: 07 Dec 2011)
Checked periodically throughout the whole day and still nothing. Though the leaked memo did say something about In Queue and not In Progress like it did for the Droid Razr.
It's the end of July and Verizon green lighted it so it's time to get going HTC. Of course we shouldn't be waiting for VZW to greenlight s**t.

"The invitation was exactly what I was hoping it would be. The image I created on my computer is the exact image I received. They are printed on sturdy paper with amazing color. The bride-to-be loves them and said they are beautiful. Her approval is really all I needed"
"I absolutely love the invitation I created on Wedding Paper Divas. I was able to edit the back to include our itinerary, giving me the chance to say everything I wanted it to include. The paper quality is exquisite, I am very pleased."
"This card was so cute when I got it in the mail! I love how you could customize it to fit your needs perrectly! The paper was so sturdy and the colors turned out exactly like the picture!"
"As a fan of Victoria's Secret, this design was absolutely perfect! It fit with the bridal shower and bachelorette party! Paper is good quality (thick and not flimsy). Color is on point and the shades of pink are the same as on the sample."
"I adjusted the title to say "Bachelorette Party & Lingerie Shower" and the designers were very helpful and prompt with their adjustments. The card is high quality and the printing looked great! I got the standard matte and it looks nice, but the frost/sparkle paper would make this card absolutely perfect. Very happy with my purchase! Will definitely use this company for all of my invitations!"

… on Jan. 2. at Citizen's Bank Park.
Here is the story from my friend Chuck Gormley at the Camden Courier-Post:
By CHUCK GORMLEY
Courier-Post Staff
Are you ready to sing "Take me out to the hockey game?"
The 2012 NHL Winter Classic is coming to Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia and is expected to match the Flyers against the New York Rangers, the Courier-Post learned late Thursday night.
The game is expected to be played on Monday, Jan. 2 and highlight a week of hockey activity that will include high school and college hockey games on the infield of the Phillies' seven-year-old ballpark.
An announcement confirming Philadelphia as the site of next season's Winter Classic is still weeks away but Flyers president Peter Luukko has been working with the NHL for years to land the midseason classic and said he believes it would be the perfect climax to New Year"s Day weekend.
"If we are chosen to host the NHL Winter Classic, with our fans and the excitement of New Year's Eve, the atmosphere would be fabulous," Luukko said. "It would be good for the city and good for the region if we"re lucky enough to host."
The NHL was hoping to have the Flyers face the Rangers at 68,532-seat Lincoln Financial Field on Jan. 1, but the Eagles are hosting the Washington Redskins at 1 p.m. that day in their regular season finale.
According to an NHL source, Phillies president David Montgomery has given the league permission to construct a hockey rink on the infield of Citizens Bank Park, which seats 43,500 fans.
The Rangers are the only Original Six team from the NHL that has not participated in a Winter Classic, which has been a resounding success for the NHL since its inception in 2008.
The Rangers have lobbied to host a Winter Classic at Yankee Stadium, but college football's annual Pinstripe Bowl is scheduled to be played there on each of the next four New Year's Days.
It has not yet been determined whether the 2012 Winter Classic will take place during the afternoon or at night, but for the second straight year it will be accompanied by HBO"s 24/7, a weekly television special that takes cameras into the locker rooms, hotel rooms and private lives of the teams" players and coaches.
That would be a treat for NHL fans hoping to get a closer look at the boisterous and often profane coach of the Rangers, John Tortorella.
During the season, the Courier-Post asked Flyers coach Peter Laviolette his opinions on being involved in a second Winter Classic.
"Whatever is asked, I'd be up for, because it was a great event," he said. "There was nothing that was bad about it, and if the talk of one was to come here and certain things have to be done, sign me up."
Truth be told Laviolette would rather not be followed around by cameras, but would be willing to sacrifice some privacy for the excitement of hosting a Winter Classic.
"I would rather avoid a camera than jump in front of one," Laviolette said. "But I can tell you this — man, I love that Winter Classic, and I sure would love to play in another one. For me that trumps all " even my own queasiness."
In the inaugural Classic, the Pittsburgh Penguins defeated the Buffalo Sabres on a shootout goal by Sidney Crosby in snowy Ralph Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park, N.Y. A record crowd of 71,217 fans witnessed that game.
The 2009 Winter Classic featured the Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks in Wrigley Field and drew the highest American television rating for an NHL game in 33 years.
The Flyers and Boston Bruins participated in the third Winter Classic in 2010 in Fenway Park, with the Bruins winning 2-1 in overtime. Last year, heavy rains postponed the Winter Classic until 8 p.m. and the showdown between Sidney Crosby and the Penguins and Alex Ovechkin and the Capitals was the most-watched Classic.

Resident Evil: Damnation Is Surprisingly Great CG Movie
Last time Capcom produced the first full-length CG Movie based on the plot line of the game series, Degeneration. While the graphics is very impressively, the plot line is not, as if it has no plot line but non-stop actions. Now they produced the second CG movie, Damnation. This time they had probably heard from Biohazard fanboys. This movie is quite an admirable thriller in my opinion. I guess the live-action Resident Evil movies are more well received in the west, but I more of appreciate those CGs then those Hollywood productions. There is something in the entertainment industries you cannot outsource.
As you would understand, the CG movies are mainly for promotion of the games, so they are not those great budget movies which will be in theatre, but DVD and Blu-ray have been out already.
Yeah, Ada Wong is so hot~ in this movie.
And Leon? He is unstoppable because his fee is still too damn good.
(Okay this is not a bot generated spam post, dont report me pls~)
I enjoyed the previous CGI movie and the Live action movies are a bit of guilty pleasure, although it focuses less and less about actual zombies, those running vampire looking zombie creatures were really lame.Steam | Origin: xRavelle | Skype: TheRavelle | PSN: Voltburn | Watch me struggle through my backlog

Tim de Kok, head grower of the Madison, Maine-based greenhouse tomato company Backyard Farms, has resigned.
The company pulled 420,000 tomato plants in July because of a a whitefly infestation, and then destroyed the replacement plants because they were deemed inferior.
The company, however, reported de Kok's departure was planned, and not related to the problems which is expected to halt shipping until January.
De Kok was also Backyard Farm's general manager, He had worked in U.S. and overseas greenhouses, and he left the company on Aug. 19, according to the Portland Maine-based Press Herald newspaper.
Backyard Farms is searching for a successor, according to the Press Herald.
The setbacks also caused Backyard Farms to lay off some workers; others will be furloughed, according to news reports.
Backyard Farms sells greenhouse tomatoes to a variety of retail chains throughout the Northeast.
