EzioAs - Monday, June 09, 2014 - linkI have the silver + MX Blue and I love it. Much more when you looked at it in person compared to pictures and dedicated media keys are just what keyboards at this price point should have (instead of dopey Fn). The only thing I have to complain is the LEDs, they're dying very quickly.
The first dead LED was about 2 weeks after I bought it. Fast forward 7 months later (today), 34 of the LEDs are dead (I counted it). Not a deal breaker for me (since LEDs are just extra), but a lot of people complain about this in their forums.
So, I'd like to advise those who are interested in buying these models, if backlighting is important to you, be prepared to lose some (it may happen to you too). Early adopters of the upcoming MX RGB should probably consider this as well. Reply
CuriousMike - Monday, June 09, 2014 - linkDead LEDs. I bought this keyboard for my wife in February 2014, and in light use, we have 6 dead LEDs.
Don't throw away your receipt, you'll need it for RMA. Reply
olderkid - Monday, June 09, 2014 - linkI've had mine for a little over 9 months - keyboard stays lit 24x7 and I haven't lost a single LED yet.
Great keyboard for doing a lot of typing. Reply
xdeadzx - Tuesday, June 10, 2014 - linkHad my first for ~16 months, no dead LEDs (fried during a storm, keys stopped pressing)
My second is on ~10 months, no dead LEDs. I did however have to RMA the second once to get all my LEDs, the RMA'd was missing an LED while one flickered at low light.
I think it's more of getting them dead than it is them going dead later. *k90 for reference. Reply
FaaR - Tuesday, June 10, 2014 - linkMy K70 had about two dead LEDs - which I thought was because I once thumped it pretty hard in a fit of TF2-induced rage but now realize might have been part of a larger pattern - until it died completely, spontaneously all by itself.
Woke up one morning months after first discovering the dead LEDs, PC had bluescreened overnight, having been running Folding@Home constantly. Oh well, I thought. Such is the overclocker's lot. However, keyboard would not respond anymore, no matter what. I realize this (keyboard dying) is probably what crashed the computer.
I never bothered to try and return the keyboard, seeing as I thumped it (there's no visible damage at all - it's surprisingly solid despite the seemingly delicate-looking mechanical switches), but now I'm thinking maybe I should. *shrug* I have a K60 as reserve, which works okay now after the firmware flash. It every once in a blue moon burps out double keystrokes, but at least no longer produces those stuck buttons that were so annoying/dangerous, especially when typing and hitting backspace... Reply
kmi187 - Tuesday, June 10, 2014 - linkSame here, for a period of about 7 months now, they are lit 24/7, not a single dead LED. It even fell off my desk once while the girlfriend was cleaning and it survived. The wooden floor has a little pit and scratch from the corner of the keyboard hitting it though. Reply
Antronman - Monday, June 09, 2014 - linkRGB shouldn't have that problem. Reply
Joeypogs - Monday, June 09, 2014 - linkI too had the same problem with the LED's on my 1st Corsair K70-- Cherry mxbrown with blue LED's. It was after a month that LED's started dying first it was 3 then the next day 7 and so on.. So i RMA'd it (which took more than a month to be replaced poor customer support really) and got the mxblue with red LED's variant and so far it's been holding out without a single dead LED.
I believe there have been quality control problems with the blue LED variants because as what i have read in corsair forums most of the owners got dead LED's and the red LED owners are not complaining. and when i RMA'd my blue led the support people told me that blue LED's are no longer available which lead me to believe that Corsair is issuing a silent recall for the blue LED's just my theory i suppose. Reply
Evilkoala13 - Friday, June 13, 2014 - linkI think you're right about the blue LEDs having quality issues. I got the mx brown and blue LEDs version and some of the LEDs failed after 3 weeks. I RMAed it and got the replacement quickly. Then, the replacement started losing LEDs and I RMAed it again, but this time the mx brown with blue LEDs was no longer in stock. I kept checking every few weeks but it never came in. Last month I was informed that Corsair has discontinued the blue LEDs model and now is only shipping the reds. Corsair has been great with customer service though and is replacing my broken keyboard with the MX Brown and red LED model. Reply
dyc4ha - Monday, June 09, 2014 - linkyup i love the keyboard, but 3 dead LEDs in within the first 2 months.. =/ Reply
Azethoth - Monday, June 09, 2014 - linkAre you sure the keys are in fact dead and that you did not just disable them? I have a K-95 and the keys can be individually lit / not lit. You may have tripped the on/off mode inadvertently? Reply
Icehawk - Monday, June 09, 2014 - linkHave this keyboard, great build quality but even with o-rings beneath the keys it is pretty darn loud (and yes I know mechanicals are not going to be silent). My gripe with the K70 is the key spacing is just too tight and even 6mos later I find myself fat fingering. Tempts me to go back to my plain MS keyboard TBH Reply
Stuka87 - Monday, June 09, 2014 - linkYou may want to try out a 2014 Razer Black Widow Ultimate Stealth. its the quietest mechanical keyboard I have ever used, but still has great key feel. Reply
Antronman - Monday, June 09, 2014 - linkDid you get the MX Blues, Browns, or Reds? Reply
Icehawk - Tuesday, June 10, 2014 - linkMine are Reds.
Thanks Stuka, I will have to see if TigerDirect stocks them so I can check in person - the key spacing on my Corsair drives me nuts, maybe this will be better spaced and quieter. Reply

I don't suppose you could officially bug them about compatibility with non-Windows OS, namely OS X and Linux? Since the keyboard is driverless you'd think it would just be plug-and-play, but apparently something with their design/firmware causes the caps lock, scroll lock, and num lock LEDs to not work or blink even with the keyboard's BIOS compatibility mode set when not using Windows. Everything else including the multimedia keys reportedly work, just not the lock indicator LEDs. I like that the K70 is a simple mechanical keyboard with multimedia keys and wrist pad, but I intend to use it in both OS X and Windows so I've held off because of the reported compatibility issues. I don't suppose they've fixed this with the MX RGB version? Reply
Antronman - Monday, June 09, 2014 - linkWhy would you have a gaming computer that runs anything or than Windows?
It's like having a V8 in your car, but only 1 exhaust pipe. Reply
anonymous_user - Monday, June 09, 2014 - linkSome people may have this keyboard with a dual-boot computer. Also its not like this keyboard can only be used for gaming. Reply
Antronman - Monday, June 09, 2014 - linkWhy would you buy a gaming keyboard if you're not gaming with it? Reply
localhostrulez - Tuesday, June 10, 2014 - linkHey, I just ordered a Corsair K70 mx blue, and I don't game. I did it because I liked the build quality, media buttons, and wanted an overall well built keyboard for typing. I type a lot, and am tired of disposable electronics (and I've managed to wear out quite a few rubber dome keyboards over the years). Reply
Antronman - Tuesday, June 10, 2014 - linkYou should've gotten a keyboard with MX Black, since those are rated for ~50 million clicks. Reply
jeffmills2 - Tuesday, June 10, 2014 - linkYou can game on Linux. I dual boot between Windows 7 and Ubuntu and I want the RGB version of this keyboard. I play what games I can on Linux, the rest I play on Windows. I have the Corsair Vengeance 2100 headset and the M95 gaming mouse and they're both great, except the software that let's me program macros for the mouse and optimize the headset is Windows only. I don't think it's unreasonable to request that Corsair make their PC hardware work in Linux... or at least give the community open access so we can make it work ourselves. Reply
Black Obsidian - Tuesday, June 10, 2014 - linkI own a Logitech G710+ (Cherry MX Brown), and although I *have* a Windows gaming PC, I actually use this keyboard at the office. That's where I do most of my typing, and thus most appreciate the tactile feedback of the mechanical switches. And I have the macro keys bound such that I can just spam all 6 of them in a row first thing in the morning and my whole dev environment launches. Reply
domboy - Tuesday, June 10, 2014 - linkI also have a G710+ at work that I use with a Linux workstation. This keyboard apparently also used to have issues with Linux, but something in more recent distributions/kernels must have resolved the issues as I've had no trouble in the couple months I've had it. Just because it's marketed as a gaming keyboard doesn't mean it has to be used that way. Corsair needs to fix the issue. Reply
Impulses - Tuesday, June 17, 2014 - linkIt's not like any one feature makes it strictly a gaming keyboard... Shoot, I only use the backlight on my K90 when I'm coding late at night, and I only use the macro keys for stuff like Lightroom & PS shortcuts. Even the media keys and my choice of red switches aren't solely driven by gaming needs. I've actually thought about getting a more compact TKL for gaming so my mouse is closer but ehh, I like the K90 so much. Reply
duynguyenle - Monday, June 09, 2014 - linkOn Pg 1, the polling rate is wrong (1ms = 1kHz, not 1Mhz...) Reply
E.Fyll - Monday, June 09, 2014 - linkThank you, that is correct and it was a typo on my part, the error has been corrected. Reply
DanNeely - Monday, June 09, 2014 - linkWhat's with the dual USB ports? Do they need the extra power for all the backlighting, or is it something else? Reply
basickler - Monday, June 09, 2014 - linkThere is a USB pass through on the keyboard. Hence the 2nd USB plug. Reply
ss284 - Monday, June 09, 2014 - linkIt's not a passthrough, It's for extra power. The keyboard generally works fine with one USB port, but I've had issues waking from sleep with only one USB plugged in. Reply
Stuka87 - Monday, June 09, 2014 - linkThe second USB port is for anti-ghosting. It has nothing to do with needing more power or having USB pass through. Reply
Stuka87 - Monday, June 09, 2014 - linkOh, and I should note that it needs both plugged in to function correctly. Same goes for other dual-USB keyboards. Reply
rocktober13 - Monday, June 09, 2014 - linkI have this keyboard. I only have one USB plugged in and it works great. Also, it's plugged in to a dual output USB hub (so I can use it on 2 PCs) with no extra power. I am pretty sure the extra USB is just a pass through (which I don't use). Reply
piiman - Saturday, June 14, 2014 - link
"Oh, and I should note that it needs both plugged in to function correctly."
Oh and I should note that you are completely wrong. Reply
localhostrulez - Saturday, June 14, 2014 - linkAnd I will confirm that. The manual specifically says that one connector is a pass-through for the USB port and is optional. From what I've seen with mine, this seems to be the case. For that matter, I tried using the second cord as an extension cord for my phone and its wall power adapter. Worked just fine, AC charging mode used. Reply
Impulses - Tuesday, June 17, 2014 - linkPretty clever idea, if I wasn't using wireless Qi charging pads all over the place now I'd copy it. Reply
piiman - Saturday, June 14, 2014 - linkIts a USB PASS THROUGH you don't even need to plug it in if you don't want to use the port.
Its has ZIP to do with anti ghosting or power. Reply
basickler - Monday, June 09, 2014 - linkIt's a pass through unless they're lying on the product page and it's a hub. There is a USB pass-through port on the back of the chassis which I use it to plug my mouse in.
I bought this keyboard after looking around for a few months. After half a year with it I can say that I love this keyboard. The red led version doesn't have the LED burn out issue and it's built like a tank. And I never found myself using all the fancy controls of multimedia keyboards but I really do like the volume controls on this. Reply
DanNeely - Monday, June 09, 2014 - linkNormally putting a USB port or two on a keyboard is done without needing a second port on the computer by integrating a USB hub. Reply
profquatermass - Monday, June 09, 2014 - linkThese keyboards need 2 USB ports in order to handle the amount of key press traffic. Reply
piiman - Saturday, June 14, 2014 - linkYou are so wrong.
1. Why do you think these keyboards have more "key press traffic"?
2. You can type as fast as you like and you will never max a USB port band width with your slow human typing speed.
3. IT's A USB PASS THROUGH, ONLY! Reply
patrickjchase - Monday, June 09, 2014 - linkA 1 msec polling period corresponds to 1 KHz, not 1 MHz as stated in the article. Given that human reaction times are on the order of 100 msec even the 1 msec interval is overkill. Reply
l8gravely - Monday, June 09, 2014 - linkI've been quite happy with my "Code" keyboard from WASDkeyboards.com with the Cherry Clear. I got it because the back lighting was nice and even, it was Cherry MX Clears, and I could also get it in the TenKeyLess version with only 87 keys, since I don't use the numberpad at all. I've been very happy with it.
My kids love it too, but miss the keypad when playing in minecraft, because they can't fly airplane mod which depends on the keypad. Oh well...
I spent around $150 for each of my two keyboards. Not cheap at all, but to me well worth it if they last like I think they will.

dragonsqrrl - Monday, June 09, 2014 - linkWait, the K70 RGB launched? I don't see availability anywhere, including newegg and amazon. Reply
dragonsqrrl - Monday, June 09, 2014 - link... okay, on the first page it says Corsair already launched the RGB versions, then on the second page it says they won't be available for a couple months? I'm guessing there's a mistake somewhere in there. Reply
Antronman - Monday, June 09, 2014 - linkThey've launched. They're just not in stock yet.
A product launch means the product is finished, and ready to be shipped to stores. Reply
dragonsqrrl - Monday, June 09, 2014 - linkThat just seems very strange to me. At least in my experience a product launch typically declares immediate availability or availability in the very near future, neither of which seems to be true in the case of these keyboards. This seems more like a paper launch to me than anything else. In any case, if what you've saying is true, that's one hell of a long shipping delay. Reply
Antronman - Monday, June 09, 2014 - linkYeah. But it's still worth it.
The Steelseries APEX is just such a compromise. You sacrifice the amazingness of mechanical keys for RGB lighting.
RGB + Mechanical? Awesome.
LEDs inside the keywells to allow for less damage to LEDs.
And then the RGB mice is also really nice. Reply
piiman - Saturday, June 14, 2014 - linkits 6 LONG weeks. I think that counts and available soon. Reply
piiman - Saturday, June 14, 2014 - linkBoth now have it listed as coming soon.
k70 late July red MX switches only, late August for the other switch types
k95 Late August with red, blue, brown switches.
I think Reply
faster - Monday, June 09, 2014 - linkWarning - I had the K90, and while it was a great keyboard, I accidently knocked a beer onto mine. The beer (About 1/2 a 12oz beer) killed the keyboard. It didn't malfunction, it completely died and became a brick. So, if you are prone to spilling drinks on your keyboard, this may not be the one for you. Reply
Antronman - Monday, June 09, 2014 - linkIf you are prone to spilling drinks on your keyboard, don't drink near your keyboard. Reply
prime2515103 - Monday, June 09, 2014 - linkI like the black logo as I would prefer no logo at all. Reply
artifex - Tuesday, June 10, 2014 - linkI have a K60, which is difficult to properly take apart in order to clean or recover from spills.
I notice the K70 seems to have the same volume control design that is the sticking point on the K60 (one of the sides has to be carefully removed or it will break); is the K70 similarly hard to take apart? Reply
i7 - Sunday, June 15, 2014 - linkI have this keyboard for about three months now. Works great. I like the feel and I use it for gaming and everyday typing. Haven't had any LED issues. Came from a Logitech G15. Yea no G-keys, not a big deal, never used them anyways. Like the fact that the media keys actually integrate well with all of my media software. Am waiting for the RGB also. Reply
dorekk - Friday, June 20, 2014 - linkI have this keyboard and I view the lack of software as a plus, not a minus. I like that I don't have to run any annoying software in the background to change the backlighting (this isn't mentioned in the review, but to do per-key backlighting you hold down the "gaming" mode button, then press any key to enable to disable its backlight, then hold down the button again). I have no need for macro keys, so it's nice to not need software. I have it in black with MX Reds and the typing feel is awesome and the backlights are fine so far. (I've had it for about a month.)
I do kind of wish I had waited just a couple months so I could get the RGB version, but damn, $130 was already pretty pricey...an extra 50 bucks just to have different colors is a little much! Reply
sean_themighty - Wednesday, June 25, 2014 - link1. The black on black logo is a huge plus. It's the closest thing to no logo you can get.
2. No additional software is a huge plus. I used to have a Razer keyboard that had mind-numbing additional software required to "unlock" features. No thanks.
3. This is a dedicated gaming keyboard for me, and I primarily play first-person shooters, so the textured ASDF keys are fantastic. Also, the red switches are perfect too. I do prefer the blue switches for a general-use / typing machine, though.
On another note, I'm surprised now much information the manual leaves out... like how to program your own unique key light schemes, or how to turn on lit key confirmation mode. I only even knew how they worked by stumbling upon others who had mentioned it. Reply
kaitai99 - Thursday, August 07, 2014 - linkI used to own the K70 MX Blue, but after three keyboard replacement due to dead LEDs I had to refund it with Corsair. The cherry red seems to last longer with better quality LEDs. I would avoid the blue LEDs at all cost. Reply
Ammohunt - Tuesday, August 12, 2014 - linkNo PS/2? No Thanks! Reply
cainsworth - Wednesday, January 18, 2017 - linkThe arm rest that comes with the keyboard is flimsy. Unlike the keyboard itself, which has a sturdy metal body, the arm rest is made of plastic. The plastic tabs that hold it in place are poorly designed and break off easily. (An image is available at http://imgur.com/a/6YaT9)
To make matters worse, Corsair refuses to replace the part under its warranty. Instead, they want $10, plus tax and shipping, to replace the armrest. Reply
firstname.lastname@example.com - Friday, February 10, 2017 - linkJust ordered a Corsair Vengence K70 today, a factory conditioned one coming from newegg.com. Saved $40 buying a factory reconditioned one in new box with all literature and options, Will be glad to jettison my Logitech which has had the number of sticking keeys increasing, Reply


text: Our household was affected during the large power outage last week. Since all of the appliances are electric, they were useless. The barbeque grill allowed us to utilize eggs, cheese, and breakfast sausage rather than have them spoil and throw everything away. My wife cooked egg and cheese omelletes (cooked in a pie tin), along with the grilled breakfast sausages. Our plan was to start grilling meat products as they thawed. Fortunate for us, the power was restored a few hours after the breakfast. The grill allowed us to make the best of a bad situation. Did anyone experience the same situation? Did the Grill come to the rescue as it did for us?

"Used as a favor card to lay on top of napkins at reception dinner. Great print quality and colors. Looked just like what I uploaded."
"Phenomenal feedback with customer service and the design department. They put the nicest touch on the card and it turned out even more beautiful than I imagined. Highly recommend!"
"This set totally sets the tone for an elegant wedding. It commands the attention of all of your guests and lays the path for a beautiful event."
"I used this enclosure card for a separate Reception information card. I wrote a line inviting guests to the reception after the ceremony, and included the address as well as the overnight accommodation information since the reception was host in the hotel we blocked rooms at. I also fit a line at the bottom of the page directing guests to our wedding website for more information. I worked with the design team to customize a font size in the middle of the page and they were very helpful to work with. They continued to send me revisions until it was exactly what I was looking for. I had a very positive experience creating this enclosure."
"These cards are the perfect touch for any favors. They were just as I expected. The paper was a very good quality not thin at all. The delivery time was so fast even when I revised the wording. I ordered invitations too...very reliable company to do business with!!"

LePhone K860: Quad-Core de Lenovo Flagship Telèfon
Estàs preparat per a una nova experiència de quatre nuclis? Bé, Lenovo takes on its dip on the quad-core category of the latest Android smartphones with the Lenovo LePhone K860 com la seva entrada.
For a quick overview, la Lenovo Lephone K860 is an Android ICS phone that has the Samsung Exynos 4412 Quad Core CPU, 1GB RAM, 8GB ROM, 1280x720pixels AH-IPS 5-inch screen. Let's review its specs and features a little more.
La Lenovo K860 boasts with its Samsung Exynos 4412 Quad Core CPU clocked at 1.4GHz, similar (or better) to what we have on the Galaxy S3 but benchmark tests purportedly claimed that this Lenovo K860 is able to leave the Samsung's S3 to dust in terms of the quad-core performance. Matched with that is a Mali-400 MP GPU, hence making this new LePhone another monster of HD gaming and high-quality multimedia entertainment playback.
La Lenovo K860 s'executa en Androide 4.0 ICS fora de la caixa, and is very much expected to have an Androide 4.1 JellyBean upgrade in the future. It is a single SIM phone, that is totally unlocked and guaranteed to work on any carriers worldwide. The single SIM slot is a micro-SIM slot. El té 3G/WCDMA network reception.
Té 1GB RAM, more than sufficient enough for anyone's seamless multi-tasking without the need to worry about RAM optimization as you are unlikely to use up all that 1GB of beefed RAM in normal use. La 8GB ROM gives way to more internal storage memory for the LePhone compared to others that only has 4GB ROM space size. You wont be needing to worry about your phone storage consumption, and good thing is; you can still expand this number with an external SD card that supports fins a 32 GB màxim storage memory capacity.
La LePhone K860 is proudly slated with a 5-inches multi-touch capacitive screen. És IPS ja, and the other awesome part is; it has 1280×720 pixels of HD resolution. IPS + AH screen equals a real pleasure to the eyes.
The snapper set is also a bit forward compared with other phones, this one has 8.0 megapixels rear camera and a 2.0 megapixels front-facing camera. With that better front snapper, its a guarantee of clearer video calling renders and self-portrait shots.
Another reason why not to hate this Lenovo K860 is its battery capacity rating, the battery of this LePhone is rated at 2250mAh which gives an assurance of longer usage time that may last for a couple of days from a single charge. Seems like Lenovo's into the track of making their newer devices to have better battery rating, which is a good plus factor.

Listed here are the specs of this Lenovo Lephone K860:

Not just it have an overwhelming specs, it also has a very nice form-factor design that carries elegance and without a doubt, makes itself a certified premium phone.
The LePhone K860 is packed on the same white box, bringing the trademark of Lenovo mobile phones.
The bezel lining isn't too thick at all. La 5.0 size doesnt makes it more of a phablet, but only a monster Android smartphone with a slightly bigger screen compared to those 4.5″ and 4.7″ quad-core Android phones in the market.
For more pictures, just visit the link to its Fastcardtech listing by clicking the link at the end of this post.
Sí, we are waiting for the La meva Xiaomi 2, and they almost have the same price tag. But here's some edge of the Lenovo K860 over that Xiaomi Phone 2:
- the Lenovo K860 is now available in stock
- it has a bigger and better display screen
- lower price tag
- greater battery capacity rating
So to conclude, getting this monster quad-core from Lenovo isn't a bad deal as well. If you cannot wait for the Xiaomi M2/X2, then get this one now. Lenovo fans are surely rejoicing over this release.

L'Oréal Paris HiP Studio Secrets Professional Concentrated Shadow Duos Reviews
HiP Colors My World!I cannot begin any review without mentioning the fact that I am obsessed with eye shadows. There is nary a brand I haven't tried. HiP grabbed my attention as soon as it appeared on shelves--I was initially impressed by the portable nature of the container and the vivid, flamboyant hues. They are not for the faint-of-heart. L'Oreal HiP shadows are strongly pigmented. They are easy to apply, gr...read moreeat for dramatic looks, and stay in place, especially when worn over a good primer. My only objections? The majority of the combinations work beautifully together. But just a few of the hues are too funky, too outrageous. Keep orange and yellow away from your eyes as a chief shade. You'll wind up looking like you have an eye infection rather than appearing to be in style! — 4 years, 5 months agoGigiSD | 1102 reviews

Best of the Drugstore Brands By Far!I have always found that drugstore brand eye shadows are not very pigmented, are hard to blend, and don't last. BUT...this Loreal Paris HiP Duo is the exception. These have crazy good pigment, are easy to apply, and are surprisingly long-lasting!! I say go for it! — 5 years, 5 months agopowerwoman033 | 509 reviews

Hey Not Bad.I actually like this stuff, NO it's not high intensity... or not SUPER high intensity, but I like the colors! Only I tend to buy collections when I shop so I bought ALL of them, and a few of them look the same so that was a little disappointing. They can be messy though so be careful, keep your make up remover close and do your eyes first if you use this stuff because it can become a mess! — 6 years, 7 months agoBon_Bon | 522 reviews

Does this mean that the iPhone 4s won't get an unthered jailbreak as it only mentions ip4
I have iPhone 4s and am still on iOS 5.0???
I didn't think there was an untethered jailbreak for iOS 5 yet
As before, if you are looking forward to an untethered jailbreak for your iPhone 4, we recommend that you stay on iOS 5.0. If you updated to iOS 5.0.1 already, then you might as well update to iOS 5.0.2 because either way you're going to be stuck with a tethered jailbreak for a while!
How long is it going to be before we see a Untethered jailbreak for 5? and the fact we cant restore is really not good at all seeing as the jailbreaks completely fked up my Camera, I am not able to use or even open the Camera at all, does anyone know if there is a fix on cydia for this or not?
For all saying "crapple" and crap like that just go get a droid. Ios5 isn't even that buggy. ANYTIME a new new major is update happens there will always be bugs, and that goes for every OS out there. Look at widows and osx with every big update there Follows a bunch of big fixes.
But seriously If you really feel that apple is crapple then go he yourself a sick *** droid that gets worse battery life and has to be rooted and a custom rom installed to even work right
For the love of god. Why are people asking about jailbreaks? That is not at all what this article is about.

Gov. Bobby Jindal told national Republican leaders Thursday night that the party needs "to recalibrate the compass of conservatism."
Jindal kicked off a four-day visit to the east coast by addressing the Republican National Committee's winter meeting in Charlotte, N.C.
The Governor's Office released an embargoed copy of the speech late Thursday.
Jindal divided his speech into three sections, outlining how America is not the federal government, how Republicans can win their argument and how "the election" can be won.
"And now, after losing two presidential elections in a row, is certainly the time for some candid discussion," he said.
From North Carolina, Jindal planned to travel to Washington, D.C., for the Alfalfa Club dinner and the National Review Institute summit. Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney also is expected to be in the nation's capital for his first trip there since lunching with President Barack Obama after losing the election.
Jindal supported Romney's bid for the White House. After the election, Jindal accused Romney of dividing American voters.
The Republican National Committee's winter meeting gave GOP leaders the opportunity to regroup after the election loss.
Jindal followed up Obama's re-election by becoming chairman of the Republican Governors Association. Speculation is rampant that he wants to blaze a path to the White House.
The governor said in his eight-page remarks Thursday that debating which party can better manage the federal government is small and shortsighted.
"At present we have one party that wants to be in charge of the federal government so they can expand it, and one party that wants to be in charge of the federal government so they can get it under control," Jindal said.
He characterized debates over the fiscal cliff, the debt ceiling and the vice president's gun control task force as reality sideshows.
Shreveport got a shout-out from the governor as an example of a real economy that should be the focus instead of the phony economy of Washington.
Jindal blasted Obama for the national debt, accusing the president of not worrying in the least about the level.
"But we, as conservatives, must dedicate our energies and our efforts to growing America, to growing the American economy, to showing the younger generations how America can win the future," he said.
The solution, Jindal said, is to grow the private sector — a philosophy he has embraced in Louisiana by hiring private businesses to handle state government tasks.
He said Democrats can sell the power of more federal programs, while Republicans promote the rejuvenating power of new businesses in the real world beyond the Washington beltway.
"The Republican Party must become the party of growth, the party of a prosperous future that is based in our economic growth and opportunity that is based in every community in this great country and that is not based in Washington, D.C.," Jindal said.

More members needed for the Eureka Volunteer Patrol
EUREKA- The Eureka Volunteer Patrol has logged about 54,000 hours of volunteer time assisting the Eureka Police Department. Now, officials with the EPD say they are looking to double the number of volunteers for the patrol.
Jack Hopkins is an original member of the Eureka Volunteer Patrol. He joined more than 18 years ago, when he was a general contractor.
"I've always been more proactive in the neighborhood and I wanted to give something back to eureka. It sounds kind of cliché, but I do owe something, and people can contribute in different ways," said Hopkins.
Now, he is a portrait photographer, but still spends twelve hours a month assisting the EPD in a number of ways.
"When I come down and pick up a car, and I go to a traffic scene or a power outage, and take over for an officer, and he can take off now and do what he's supposed to do, I feel good about that," Hopkins said.
"When officers are not on traffic post or things that are going to take a great deal of time, crime scene protection for instance, officers can be out being a little more proactive. So, if a person has a warrant or if a person is under the influence of meth or something else, than the officers can deal with that," said Chief Andrew Mills, the Police Chief of the Eureka Police Department.
The Eureka Volunteer Patrol currently has eight members, the lowest number of members since the patrol was formed in 1995.
"We feel like we're kind of strained ourselves. A number of us are getting older and some people travel, so not all eight are available all the time to put on the schedule," said Hopkins.
Any adults can join the Eureka Volunteer Patrol after completing training and passing the background check process.
"We're not asking them to do anything tactical. We're asking them to do things that are very safe and very straightforward," said Chief Mills.
"I think it's important that we get new members who are ethical, who you can count on to do the right thing when no one's looking, and someone who has the time," Hopkins said.
All eight members of the Eureka Volunteer Patrol were awarded the Eureka Police Department's Valor-Service Challenge Coin Award at last week's city council meeting.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 31/12/2012 (1695 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
It was Christmas Eve morning and there I was, tucked in bed, snug as a bug, the wiener dog draped over my head, enjoying the final minutes of sleep before trudging to the mall to trade elbows with all the other guys who'd left their shopping to the last minute.
Then, suddenly and without warning, my wife burst into our bedroom with tears in her eyes and a mysterious bundle tucked under her arms. "HE HAD A BABY!" she shrieked with delight as the wiener dog and I, our bleary eyes, stared up in surprise. "HE HAD A BABY!"
What with being a crusading journalist, I knew just what to ask. "Who had a baby?" I grunted.
"CREEPY SANTA HAD A BABY!" my overexcited spouse exclaimed. "HERE, TAKE A LOOK."
With that, she handed me a small red and green Christmas basket. Tucked inside was a miniature red Christmas blanket and swaddled inside that was a tiny plush doll with an eerily familiar face.
"OHMYGAWD!" I gasped. "IT'S THE SON OF CREEPY SANTA!"
For those of you whose brains are still numb from New Year's Eve, grab a handful of Bufferin and I'll try to explain.
Creepy Santa is a three-foot-tall plush Santa doll I have immortalized in a series of holiday columns in recent years. One glance at the malevolent, open-mouthed glare on his pale plastic face and you'll know why my daughter nicknamed him "Creepy Santa."
Normally at this time of year, the scowling gnome is parked on the porch to scare away kids who want to shovel our driveway, but almost a year ago today, he vanished, carried away by kidnappers.
We didn't even realize he was missing until, about a week later, we received the first in what would prove to be a series of mysterious brown envelopes dropped in our mailbox. The first envelope contained a photo of the little dude clad in a tiny Winnipeg Jets T-shirt along with a slip of paper stating: "GO JET GO!"
Every month since, we have received a fresh envelope from the kidnappers. The photos show Creepy Santa decked out for Valentine's Day, transformed into a swarthy sea dog for Talk Like a Pirate Day, leading the Canadian contingent at the Opening Ceremonies of the Summer Olympics, or just floating in the inflatable pool in our yard.
Just before Christmas, the photo showed him visiting a real-life Santa at a local mall, which led us to believe the creepy little guy was coming home for the holidays.
As hard as this is to admit, we really missed him this year. The big tradition in our home involves my wife and kids hiding Creepy Santa, then waiting, gleefully, for their victim to stumble on him and scream.
So when I heard my wife scream on Christmas Eve morning, I assumed Creepy Santa had returned. Instead, what she found parked on our doorstep was the mini version of our abducted decoration, a foot-long doll on whom had been pinned the following cheery note: "Hi, I'm J.C. Junior Creepy!"
Also tucked in the baby basket was a card from Creepy Santa stating he needed a little more time away from home. "Until I'm ready to return, I need you to take care of something for me," the card said. "I hope you will welcome this 'gift' into your home and love it as your own."
There was also a photo showing the full-size Creepy Santa Sr. posing proudly with the pint-sized fruit of his creepy loins.
While sad the full-size Santa was still missing, my wife and daughter were thrilled by the unexpected arrival of our newest bundle of joy, Son of Creepy Santa.
"OMG, they're (bad word) identical," my daughter gushed. "Whoever kidnapped Creepy Santa must be crazy!"
But this wouldn't be a proper story without a heart-tugging happy ending, which occurred days later when my wife and I strolled into Mona Lisa Ristorante for a party to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. When we arrived, there, sitting on a bar stool, looking as creepy as ever, was Prime Minister Stephen Harper. No, sorry, it was (Hurray!) Creepy Santa. Attached to our long-lost pal were a helium balloon and a sign shrieking: "Happy Anniversary! Looking forward to the next 30 years together."
We still have no idea who the kidnappers were, but that's not what matters. What matters is that if you hear the sound of screams coming from our home next holiday season, don't bother calling the police because it's nothing criminal. It's just a little creepy.

"We are giving my daughter a Wine & Cheese Bridal Shower and started out with this design since there is no specific shower card of this type. The invitations arrived today and they turned out perfectly! We love them. The design is darling, colors are great and the paper is high quality. I tweaked the card twice until I got it right where I wanted it (added the necessary info, changed a font, moved a couple of lines, etc.) and then sent in the approval. The invitations have exceeded my expectations and believe me, I'm pretty fussy. Thank you, Wedding Paper Divas. Now I'm back for the "Thank Yous"."
"This is a really cute card! I stayed with basic paper - it was fine! Printing was on point. I had a lot of wording to squeeze in. Heard from the reviewer right away - she was very helpful. I would order from these guys again!"
"I wanted an invitation for my husband's 60th birthday, that I knew he would be comfortable with. While this invitation is more on the formal side it reflects his interest in wine and his taste for more classic styles. I was so happy to find it was an option! The paper and envelope are very nice and I'm glad I didn't pay for an upgrade. The rush service went as planned. The return address printing on the envelopes appears to be limited to two lines. If you live in a multiple dwelling this could be a problem."
"The paper was excellent quality & thick stock. The text print was great & the customer service superb. The colors & design of the card were great so I didn't change that. I appreciated the free review & normal etiquite changes. Although this was seen originally for a birthday celebration, it was able to be changed/personalized for a wedding rehearsal dinner since it followed the theme. I was unable to find anything like this with other print businesses."
"I found the perfect invitation for my mother's 80th birthday celebration. By changing the font to red, her favorite color, this "Holiday" card transformed into a festive November "Splash of Red" party invite. The scroll pattern attracts the eye and the card stock is firm with a textured quality when touched. The Customer Service Associate was attentive to my needs and the design staff ensured the content was formatted to my specifications. Due to the square size of the cards, additional postage was required, but it was no problem.The package arrived quickly and I was able to mail off the invites promptly. I received compliments on the look & style of the card. A big thumbs up to Wedding Paper Divas!"

What Am I?Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.
I may come in groups of twelve,
From farms or from a store,
The thing that made me,
Made many of me galore!
I could give birth to a creature,
Or be eaten by you,
For breakfast, lunch, or dinner,
Now here's your last clue.
I have walls and floors of white
A disco ball in the middle,
A very round one that's yellow,
And I am very little.
What am I?
HintI could be scrambled to make something new.
I would say the weather is sunny side up.
AnswerI am a chicken egg.

It's been four years since Barack Obama beat John McCain to become the 44th President of the United States, but that hasn't stopped some in the media from putting McCain's running mate, Sarah Palin, in the crosshairs. In this morning's broadcast of Good Morning America, ABC News' David Muir detailed the dynamics related to the home stretch of the presidential campaign. It was here that he snuck in a gratuitous swipe at Gov. Palin:
DAVID MUIR: But so much of it rests with the candidate. The HBO film "Game Change," strategist Nicolle Wallace is depicted trying to help Sarah Palin prepare for interviews in a debate on the national stage.
JULIANNE MOORE (as Sarah Palin): It wasn't my fault. I wasn't properly prepped!
SARAH PAULSON (as Nicolle Wallace): You weren't properly prepped because you wouldn't listen to us. You never listened to your advisers!
MUIR: Takes you back, doesn't it? A lot at stake this time. President Obama looking to lock in his lead. And for Romney, many political strategists arguing this first debate will be make-or-break as George pointed out given the poll numbers in those key battlegrounds. George
What's so egregious about this frivolous example is that it's based on an adapted screenplay. Furthermore, that clip featured in the segment is fictional. Yes, Sarah Palin didn't have the best interview with Katie Couric, but what Wallace and Palin said to each other in private remains that way. The only folks who know what was said were those two women and Wallace had every reason to embellish the exchange to make herself look good.
The real Nicolle Wallace was then brought in to talk about the upcoming debates, which was a nice spring board for both Stephanopoulos and Wallace to rip into Mitt Romney:
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: You talk about President Obama as nicer and less arrogant. He does get irritable in the debates, and that's what his team is prepping him for, they want him to stay kind of patient.
NICOLE WALLACE: Right. Right. And just think about that for a second. They're asking both men to be someone they're not, and that's what makes the debate so dramatic. Because, really what we're all waiting for, what we're all watching for is the moment when the real man breaks out.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But more pressure on Mitt Romney in this debate. If you could say, what his number one goal for this debate, it is?
WALLACE: Romney needs to have a moment like we saw this week, when Bill Clinton introduced him, and he had this self-deprecating, humorous, normal moment where his humanity shown through. He needs try to do the impossible. He needs to orchestrate a moment where he can create that in a way that seems and feels spontaneous and natural. Near impossible.
STEPHANOPOULOS: That's very hard. Nicolle Wallace, thank you very much.
So let's review: We have a former Clinton operative drooling over the president and labeling him as "nicer and less arrogant," while a squishy Republican -- who was a major source in a campaign book and later movie that cast Palin in a harsh light -- agrees and says Romney needs to be more human in these debates.
It's just more evidence that some in the Obama-friendly broadcast media are already crafting the narrative that the debates are lost and Obama has the election in the bag.

ANA supports actions and policies that result in the elimination of manual patient handling. Patient handling, such as lifting, repositioning and transferring has conventionally been performed by nurses. The performance of these tasks exposes nurses to increased risk for work-related musculoskeletal disorders. With the development of assistive equipment and devices, such as lifting equipment and lateral transfer and friction reducing devices, the risk of musculoskeletal injury can be eliminated or significantly reduced. A Safe Patient Handling (SPH) program decreases injury to nurses, other health care workers and patients, while reducing work-related health care costs and improving the safety of patient care delivery
Over the past decade, much attention has been given to the health and safety concern among health care workers. The extent of musculoskeletal disorders among the U.S. nursing workforce is particularly distressing when considered in the context of the current nursing shortage. Specifically, injuries secondary to patient handling tasks compound factors driving the shortage such as aging of the nursing workforce, declining retention and recruitment rates, and lowering social value of nursing.
Despite the recognition that manual patient handling is a high-hazard task, the incidence of musculoskeletal disorders persists at high rates for nurses and other nursing personnel – signaling the need for continued action. Emerging efforts to prevent musculoskeletal injuries have concentrated on reducing exposures through the use of assistive equipment and devices for patient handling. Last year, nine states (CA, FL, HI, IL IA, MA, MI, NJ, WV) introduced Safe Patient Handling (SPH) legislation, while five states enacted legislation (OH, TX, NY, WA, RI). ANA supported these legislative initiatives, and will continue to seek new ways to advance this issue on both the state and federal level.
Over the last two decades, health care has rapidly become one of the most dangerous industries in the United States. Unfortunately, health care workers, particularly nursing personnel, experience a disproportionate rate of occupational illness and injuries compared to the private sector in general. More than any other work-related injury or illness, musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are responsible for lost work time, the need for protracted medical care, and permanent disability among health care workers. Every day the average nurse lifts 1.8 tons per shift, as a result, nurses suffer debilitating and often career-ending and life-altering injuries from repeatedly lifting, moving, transferring, and repositioning patients. Back injuries affect up to 38% of all nurses. Patient handling, transfers and manual lifting are significant risks factors for back injuries. Recent changes in the health care environment have lowered staffing levels; such downsizing requires individual nurses to care for more patients even as fewer people are available to assist. ANA has strong evidence that current working conditions in health care are contributing to increased injury and disease among nurses as well as driving the exodus from bedside nursing care. Additionally, technologically feasible and cost-effective solutions to controlling ergonomic hazards (such as mechanical patient lifting equipment and patient lateral transfer devices) now exist and have been successfully implemented in hospitals and nursing homes across the country.

Drumwright honored by Henricus
By Patty Kruszewski, Citizen Managing Editor 09/27/12
George T. Drumwright, Jr. may have retired from his position as deputy county manager for Henrico.
But on Sept. 14, Drumwright's friends at Henricus Historical Park let him know emphatically that he will not be allowed to retire from his role as a Henricus Foundation board member and long-time volunteer.
At a reception honoring Drumwright and celebrating the opening of 2012 Publick Days, friends, family, colleagues and fellow members of the Henricus Foundation Board of Trustees gathered to dedicate the Drumwright Education Fund, a component of the Henricus Annual Fund that will enable the Foundation to expand interactive history program offerings for students.
Drumwright's colleagues also presented him with gifts and mementos, and spoke at length about his 25 years of contributions to the park.
Henricus Executive Director Charles Lewis Grant pointed out that when Drumwright first became involved, the park was just a place "covered in vines."
Today, Henricus boasts a dozen re-created colonial structures, including a hospital, parsonage, tobacco barn and planter's house.
"But it's not just about the buildings," emphasized John Siddall, chairman of the Henricus Foundation. "It's about the 25,000 schoolchildren that come through here every year."
And the Drumwright Education Fund, added Grant, will help students from the most disadvantaged schools gain access to park programs.
"If they can't get here," said Grant, "we go to them."
Jurisdictional cooperation
Siddall, who led off his remarks by telling Drumwright, "The first thing I want to say is you are not retiring from here," also praised Drumwright's role in supporting the partnership between Chesterfield and Henrico counties that has helped made the park so successful.
Through a fluke of history, said Siddall, both counties own land in Henricus -- even though today's park lies south of the James River in what is technically Chesterfield.
During the Civil War, Union troops began digging a new channel near the James so they could bypass Confederate fortifications that blocked approaches to Richmond. The new channel, completed after the war, left a part of Henrico across the river — surrounded by water.
"Because of this, we benefit," said Siddall, "and not only because we have this beautiful bluff. We also benefit from a great partnership between Chesterfield and Henrico; we get the support of both counties."
Ken Perry, former chairman of the board, noted that Drumwright had first visited the site in 1977. "I visited this site in 1985," said Perry, "and we both saw the same things: a bunch of trees and a beautiful river view."
He and Drumwright worked together on the board for 15 years, said Perry, during which the jurisdictional cooperation was "marvelous."
'He knew every inch'
Dorothy Jaeckle, vice chairman of the board, recalled that when first elected to the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors, she was taken aback by the number of boards on which she was expected to serve, and overwhelmed by the steep learning curve required to learn about the various organizations.
Appointed to the Henricus board because the park was in her district, Jaeckle said that joining a board with Drumwright only magnified her feelings of inadequacy.
"George was the one," she said, "who took the sickle and cleared the way in [to the historical area]. He knew every last inch of this place." But her feelings of inadequacy were soon eased, said Jaeckle, because Drumwright was so clearly passionate about the park, and made it clear that he wanted only to share his knowledge of it with others.
Chesterfield County Manager Jay Stegmaier, noting that Henricus was recently named the best park in Central Virginia by readers of Richmond.com, credited Drumwright with being one of the key players that helped the park succeed.
"You've become an icon for Central Virginia," Stegmaier told Drumwright, jokingly inviting him to use a sword to carve his initials in a tree on the site. "[Henricus] is a treasure for Chesterfield and Henrico County, and it's rapidly becoming a treasure for the entire country."
"And," added Stegmaier, echoing the previous speakers, "we're not going to let you totally retire."
A radiant light
In thanking his colleagues for gifts that included colonial-era replicas of a hat and a lantern, Drumwright cited "huge support" from the community as his inspiration, and noted that like the lantern, Henricus had blossomed from a tiny spark of a concept into a radiant light.
Only days before, said Drumwright, students visiting the park from Lucille Brown Middle School had been using a newly re-created platform overlooking the bluff to calculate the trajectory of cannon fire needed to bridge the river – demonstrating just one of the unique hands-on lessons that the park provides to schoolchildren.
Upon being presented with a sword, Drumwright reminisced about his first job in Norfolk, during which he occasionally perched on the rails of a replica ship and played the role of pirate.
"We used to break these swords once a week," he said, "fighting each other."
Everything a miracle
As the celebration moved into the dinner-and-music phase – featuring favorite Drumwright band Steve Bassett and Friends – incoming Henrico County Manager John Vithoulkas read a letter from Tuckahoe Supervisor and fellow Henricus board member Pat O'Bannon, who could not be present at the celebration.
Addressing Drumwright, O'Bannon wrote, "Before Google, George, we had you to ask for answers. Now we can ask Google, but it's not nearly as good."
Thanking Drumwright for serving as a mentor, O'Bannon went on to quote Albert Einstein, who once said, "There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle, and you can live as if everything is a miracle."
"George," wrote O'Bannon,"lives his life as if everything is a miracle."
Echoing O'Bannon's sentiment, Vithoulkas recalled visiting the undeveloped, overgrown future site of Henricus decades ago, when he worked under Stegmaier as a budget analyst.
"It wasn't nearly what we've got here now," said Vithoulkas.
"George, you've done a phenomenal job."

Home > Patients & Visitors > Health Library > Cemented or Uncemented Artificial Joints
A surgeon has a choice between using cemented or uncemented joints in a joint replacement surgery such as hip, knee, or shoulder replacement surgery.
This decision can be made before the surgery, based on your age and X-rays. Or it can be made during the surgery, when your surgeon opens up the joint and can see how the joint looks. One type of joint is not clearly better than the other.
Cemented joints form an immediate, strong bond to the bone, but they often
loosen after 10 to 20 years. A cemented bond is strongest immediately after
surgery and gets weaker over time.
Uncemented joints form a bond
that may be weaker at first but may form a strong permanent bond as the bone
fills in the porous coating. After a strong bond has formed between the bone
and the replacement components, uncemented joints are less likely to weaken or
loosen over time. Most loosening that can be seen on an X-ray doesn't cause
symptoms and isn't a problem.

A VOLUNTEER based railway has been recognised for its innovative anniversary event, which linked Aylesbury and Chinnor once more.
The Heritage Railway Association held its annual awards ceremony in Bath this month.
The Chinnor and Princes Risborough Railways received the top Morton's Media Rail Express magazine Modern Traction award.
It was made in recognition of the collaboration with Chiltern Railways, Network Rail and Knorr-Bremse- the principal partners in delivering the multi-anniversary event last October on the preserved line.
The event saw two tracks join up just outside Princes Risborough, which allowed trains to travel from Aylesbury to Chinnor for the first time in 57 years.
The citation for the award read: 'for staging an innovative modern traction event featuring a special reinstatement of a main line connection with through running from Aylesbury and some highly sought after guest locomotives'.
Roger J Fagg, chairman of the railway said: "The event was held over three weekends in October and special trains linked Aylesbury, Princes Risborough and Chinnor, the first for nearly 60 years.
"It was a splendid example of many organisations working closely together - Chiltern Railways providing the trains, Network Rail rejoining the preserved railway to the mainline, while Ercol and Origin Productions made possible a new platform at Risborough.
"In addition the Royal Train shunters were loaned by Knorr-Bremse and officially named at Chinnor and via West Coast Railways, operators of the Hogwarts Express, a vintage diesel came from the Class 20 Society. Hundreds of visitors and enthusiasts enjoyed a very unique and exceptional experience and they travelled from all over the UK to join the trains."
The Speaker of The House of Commons, John Bercow, waved the inaugural charter train away from Princes Risborough on October 5 accompanied by a gathering of mayors, Chiltern Railways managing director Rob Brighouse, Network Rail's route managing director, Dyan Crowther and many other dignitaries.
Jenny McGee, enterprise director at Visit England, the national tourist board said: "The consensus is that these charters linking Aylesbury and Chinnor have built a firm foundation for future cross-platform operations at Princes Risborough.
"It's a great example of how our heritage railway lines bring economic and tourism benefits to the local areas where they operate. They're a great economic generator with visitors and enthusiasts riding the trains and spending locally in shops, pubs, restaurants and on accommodation."

A LEVEL students across Lancashire are finding out today what the future holds as their A-level results are revealed.
Sixth formers and college students will be heading to their places of learning this morning to receive their grades after an anxious night.
It comes after Ofqual warnings that tougher exam standards this year means results are 'not comparable' to the grades seen last year.
Those who receive disappointing news will need to revise their university plans in the next few hours.
Students who do better than expected will also be deciding whether to change their plans, and 'trade up' to a different university or degree course.
Colleges and schools in East Lancashire will be guiding A Level students through their clearing options today, while other students will be celebrating gaining the place of their choice.

Big bats back Sanabia as Marlins top Nats
MIAMI -- A day after celebrating his 24th birthday, Adeiny Hechavarria provided the Marlins with a wakeup call, belting a three-run homer that triggered an 8-2 win over the Nationals on Tuesday night at Marlins Park.
Justin Ruggiano drove in three runs, while Greg Dobbs knocked in two as the Marlins posted a season-high runs total.
Alex Sanabia (2-1) was the beneficiary of ample run support, and he turned in a gutsy six-inning performance, giving up two runs on six hits.
Miami hadn't scored more than three runs in 10 games before enjoying some breathing room.
Hechavarria's home run in the fourth inning was the Marlins' third shot of the season, and first at home, and the first since Dobbs at New York on April 5. Miami had gone nine straight games without a home run.
"I was beginning to think the home run sculpture out there wasn't plugged in," Miami manager Mike Redmond joked. "It's working, and it's definitely plugged in."
On Monday, when Major League Baseball was honoring Jackie Robinson, Hechavarria was receiving birthday wishes. The Cuban-born shortstop now has three career home runs, with his previous two occurring last year when he was with Toronto.
"I would have preferred for that to be [Monday], but I'll take it," Hechavarria said in Spanish. "It was a big home run for the team. I'm trying to contribute and help out and do the best I can to help out the team. That home run was a key part of the win. I'm just trying to help out."
Washington right-hander Dan Haren was tagged for seven runs, three earned, in 4 1/3 innings.
It took five games for the Marlins (3-11) to enjoy their first lead and victory over the Nationals, who fell to 8-6.
Miami was able to enjoy a comfortable win the day after being blown out, 10-3.
"We'd been talking about continuing to be positive and keep grinding it out," Redmond said. "We did that tonight. It's nice to beat those guys. They've kind of had their way with us so far this year. It's nice to put a big number on them."
Juan Pierre added three hits, two stolen bases and two runs scored.
Miami capitalized on third baseman Ryan Zimmerman's throwing error and scored four runs in the fourth inning. With one out, Zimmerman's throw to first base was off the mark after he corralled Placido Polanco's ground ball. Dobbs' single put runners on the corners, and Ruggiano opened the scoring with an RBI single.
The big blast was provided by Hechavarria, who connected on a three-run drive that was estimated at 416 feet.
Zimmerman now has four errors on the season. The veteran third baseman has dealt with shoulder issues in the past, and he says physically he is fine.
"Shoulder feels great. That's why it's so frustrating," Zimmerman said. "I was just going into the dugout and talking to some of the guys. Nobody's more frustrated than me. I'm the guy out there that doesn't want to do it more than anyone."
In the fifth inning, the Marlins tacked on three more runs and chased Haren. Sanabia helped his cause with a leadoff single. He was just 1-for-29 at the plate before his single to right.
Sanabia shared credit for the hit with his teammate, Nathan Eovaldi, who is on the disabled list with right shoulder inflammation.
The bats Sanabia and fellow Miami starter, Kevin Slowey, are using belong to Eovaldi.
"I've got to give thanks to Eovaldi," Sanabia said. "That was an Eovaldi bat. Whenever me and Slowey pitch, Eovaldi is still on the field, even though he is not here with us. Give that one to Eovaldi."
After reaching third base, Sanabia scored when Dobbs walked with the bases loaded. Ruggiano's two-run double gave Miami a seven-run lead.
Washington chipped back with two runs in the sixth inning, collecting three doubles in the inning. Adam LaRoche laced a one-out double, and Tyler Moore and Steve Lombardozzi each had two-out, run-scoring two-base hits.
But with a big lead early, the Marlins were never seriously threatened.
"It was huge for us, the whole team, just to get some runs and to get us going," Sanabia said. "It was great."
Mike Dunn closed out the ninth inning in a non-save situation by getting pinch-hitter Jhonatan Solano to bounce into a double play. Solano hit the grounder to his brother, Marlins second baseman Donovan Solano.
The brothers are very close. In fact, Jhonatan is spending the series at Donovan's home.
"I was thinking, 'Don't hit it here, don't hit it to me,'" Donovan said. "That's what happened. That's part of the game. He's another player. I don't think of him as my brother [on the field]. We need to play. We played it, turned two, and that was the end of the game."

The T2 sonar systems are intelligence units. They require more energy to run than their T1 counterparts, but, of course, have a greater range.
Aside from the usual differences in HP, the only difference between these T2 sonar systems is found in the Seraphim version. It costs more than the other three, but has a definite HP advantage and a sonar range of 350 as opposed to the range of 230 on the other three systems. This is a big deal, as the Seraphim lack a T3 sonar platform and a T2 submarine hunter.

First camera samples from the HTC Amaze 4G
0. phoneArena posted on 07 Oct 2011, 22:56
Packing along an 8-megapixel auto-focus camera in the rear, it's sure to impress with its F2.2 wide-angle lens, backside illuminated sensor, and dual-LED flash to make the experience undeniably gratifying. Of course, you won't be able to miss a beat...

13. LionStone (Posts: 844; Member since: 10 Dec 2010)
Because if that's the case, and if I upgrade to a new HTC (Vigor perhaps) and if it has 3.0 that wont work with my 07 and 08 vehicles which I flawlessly use Bluetooth in right now with my TB, I'd be pissed too.

I'm a loyal HTC fan. I have an EVO right now and really don't find my camera all that lacking. But being human, we always want improvements and I've been waiting to see HTC focus on better cameras. (sorry for the pun).
That said, can someone explain why the shot of the church is out of skew? The trees lean in. And the shot of Best Buy, the columns lean in.

Camera-centric phone but with dual LED instead of xenon flash ? Why ?
24. bayhuy (Posts: 320; Member since: 23 Jun 2011)
"The net result is a much brighter flash for camera use. So, you might ask, why don't all phone cameras come with Xenon flash?
Cost. Putting in a Xenon flash unit is much more expensive.
Power. Physics dictates (even after allowing for power efficiency variation) that if more light energy is created then more power will ultimately be drawn from the phone's battery. In my experience, the extra power drain per flash can be as much as ten times that of a LED flash.
No continuous mode. Most LED flash units can operate 'on' all the time, if needed, for recording a video sequence, for example.
Extra LED needed anyway. Even though the main flash is Xenon, a LED light is needed anyway in order that the camera can focus in dark conditions, ahead of the Xenon flash triggering and the photo being taken.
Close-ups can be spoiled. When shooting something very close-up, the sheer amount of light can be a problem, washing out the subject.
On the other hand, the advantages of using a Xenon flash in a phone camera are:
Better illumination. Obviously. Typically around ten times the amount of light output as an LED flash but enough to make a dramatic difference to a scene.
Faster illumination. With its far, far faster illumination time, a Xenon flash-lit shot will capture anything moving beautifully crisply. You can effectively say goodbye to blurry, grainy indoor photos once and for all.
With disadvantages outweighing advantages by 5 to 2, you can see why manufacturers opt for LED flashes most of the time."

ECM Capitol reporter
A hunting and fishing fee increase initiative that drew former Minnesota Vikings' coaching great Bud Grant to the State Capitol might be stalled.
The Republican Senate today (April 17) on a 27 to 39 vote rejected an amendment to the Senate game and fish bill that included the license fee increases.
Over in the House, Rep. Tom Hackbarth, R-Cedar, had looked to bringing his hunting and fishing fee increase bill to a game and fish conference committee with the Senate to work out the details of the proposed license fee increases.
But now Hackbarth wonders whether that can be done.
"The Senate today took a position against it (fee increases), and a pretty big one," said Hackbarth, speaking off the House floor.
"It's going to be hard to bring it back," he said.
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) officials are concerned that the state game and fish fund, a wellspring of funding for the DNR, is expected to show a deficit by July of 2013.
More than half of the agency's game and fish fund revenues, which totaled about $94 million in 2011, come from hunting and fishing license sales.
In addition to Grant, many outdoor and environment groups have lobbied in support of fee increases.
The last time a general hunting and fishing license fee increase took place was in 2000.
In his bill, Hackbarth looks to increasing fees on nonresident hunting and fishing license.
"I think it's important nonresidents pay more," said Hackbarth.
Hackbarth, in analyzing the Senate amendment vote, sees work for Democratic Gov Mark Dayton.
"If Governor Dayton wants these fee increases he should be talking to (Democratic Senate Minority Leader) Bakk," said Hackbarth.
Hackbarth found it curious so many Senate Democrats voted against the license fee increases.
Senate Environment and Natural Resources Committee Chairman Bill Ingebrigtsen, R-Alexandria, indicated he is conferring with Dayton Administration officials about the stalled license fee increase initiative.
Ingebrigtsen tabled his bill today.
"I haven't decided yet," Ingebrigtsen said on what was the next step.
"I would hope so," he said of the governor securing more Democratic votes.
"Because it's his initiative — it's his bill," Ingebrigtsen said.
The chairman argued that Bakk's approach to the fee increase provision had been partisan.
"I don't get it," Ingebrigtsen said of the perceived lack of Democratic support.
"I don't understand it," he said.
Some 60 environmental and outdoor groups, explained Ingebrigtsen, support the license fee increases.
Ingebrigtsen views them as user-fees, not taxes.
"If you don't want to hunt or fish or trap in Minnesota, you don't pay anything," he said.
Ingebrigtsen views the proposed hunting and fishing license fee increases as vital for the DNR to continue to its work.
Having the initiative fall apart this session would leave the DNR in "dire straits" in terms of addressing such key environmental issues invasive species, he explained.
He knew, Ingebrigtsen explained, that some Republicans would be skittish of voting for the fee increases.
But he thought the initiative would nonetheless succeed.
"I didn't think there'd be a problem," said Ingebrigtsen.
Area senators voting for the proposed hunting and fishing fee increases were: Bonoff, Chamberlain, Gazelka, Higgins, Michel, Nienow, Olson, Pederson, Rest. Robling, Senate Majority Leader Senjem, and Wolf.
Voting against: Benson, Brown, Daley, Eaton, Gerlach, Goodwin, Hall, Hann, Jungbauer, Kelash, Koch, Kruse, Latz, Lillie, Limmer, Metzen, Ortman, Sieben, Thompson, Vandeveer, and Wiger.
For his part, Grant was succinct in explaining what had brought him to the State Capitol when testifying some weeks ago.
"I'm not here to promote the stadium," he said.
"I'm here to promote something more important than the stadium," said Grant, speaking of the state's hunting and fishing opportunities.
The administration's proposed hunting and fishing license increases would capture about $14 million in additional revenue over two years to replenish the game and fish fund — the Senate license fee proposal was smaller.
Hackbarth's proposal would bring in about the same amount of money as the governor's.
According to the DNR about 1.5 million Minnesotans buy fishing licenses each year, with about 600,000 purchasing hunting licenses.
One of the pressures on state game and fish funding in recent times is that federal funds have dropped by about $4 million, according to the DNR.
The state government shutdown last summer resulted in the game and fish fund losing about $2 million in fishing license sales.
Dayton Administration Spokeswoman Katharine Tinucci indicated the governor does indeed want the hunting and fish license fee increases.
"We would like for it to happen this year certainly, but if it doesn't, we will be back next year with another proposal," she said in an email.

Les Arcs showcases Work in Progress features
Details revealed of 11 upcoming European features seeking distribution and sales agents.
The Les Arcs European Film Festival hosted its second annual Work in Progress event, offering distributors a first look at forthcoming features and documentaries from across Europe.
Hosted by the festival's artistic director, Frederic Boyer, directors and producers introduced short clips of their films before discussing the productions.
Last year's batch of seven films featured Daniele Cipri's It Was the Son and Baltasar Kormakur's The Deep, both of which have been screened in festivals throughout the year and are up for Les Arcs' Crystal Arrow award this year.
The presentations took place 2,000m up in the French ski resort on Sunday morning (Dec 16).
Work in Progress titles
The Unsaved (Romania)
Dir: Igor Cobileanski
Pro: Daniel Burlac - Saga Film
A bittersweet drama about Viorel, a small-time drug dealer living in a little town in Moldova. His best friend drags him in his insane dream of flying, his mother urges him to start making a living and the woman he loves is about to leave with her lover who is about to be released from custody by a corrupt cop. Viorel decides to straighten up his life, get a decent job and try to save the girl from a destructive relationship.
Burlac: "It may be a strange movie but its atmosphere makes it really strong. It was made with 100% Romanian money but was shot in Moldova with a Moldavian crew."
XL (Iceland)
Dir: Marteinn Thorsson
Pro: Marteinn Thorsson – Tenderlee
Leif Sigurdarson (Olafur Darri Olafsson) is a party hound, boozer and womanizer – as well as a member of Iceland's parliament – who is ordered to go into rehab by his old friend, the prime minister. But before he is committed, he throws one more party and invites an underworld kingpin, his lawyer and his young lover Æsa (Maria Birta) – the daughter of his best friend.
Thorsson: "I wrote the script in a month and shot it fast, avoiding script development and shooting on digital. It's a rollercoaster into oblivion. I produced the film with my own money and got a government grant from the Icelandic Film Centre, after five months of struggle, to fund post production. The film is edited and locked 10 days ago. It should be ready in January."
September (Greece/Germany)
Dir: Penny Panayotopoulou
Pro: Thanos Karathanos' Twenty Twenty Vision (Greece), Pallas Film (Germany)
The story of Anna who works at Ikea, lives with her dog Manu in a small apartment and falls for the family who live opposite her place after her dog dies. It is a story about loneliness and the way it sneaks into the cracks of our lives.
Panayotopoulou: "It is a simple film about trust, fear and love. I wanted to recreate the energy of cinema of the 1960s – not concentrating on story but focussing on film-making without it being boring."
The Coalminer's Day (France)
Dir: Gael Mocaer
Pro: Xenia Maingot – Eaux Vives Production
A documentary about coal mine workers in the Ukraine, who endure harsh conditions in a bid to win an annual state prize and an extra €5.
Mocaer: "I spent six months filming in the Ukraine with these miners, some of whom are now dead. I saw 10 mines before choosing this one as many use dynamite – not allowed in the Ukraine – so it was hard to find a mine where we could shoot. But I wanted to show the poetry and humour too."
Maingot: "We need to mix the film and grade it. Editing is complete and we are approaching festivals and looking for distribution."
Dying Beyond Their Means (Murieron por Encina de sus Posibilidades) (Spain)
Dir: Isaki Lacuesta
Pro: Bastien Martin, Rafael Portela – La Termita
A tragicomedy. The film-makers say: "As we never considered mainstream and auteur film to be incompatible categories, we want to make a popular movie that could also be seen in the most prestigious festivals."
Portela: "It's a comedy based on real characters, reflecting on the current economic situation. We could not get financed by state funds or TV so these well-known actors worked for no money because they believe in the film. We are here [in Les Arcs] because we think the theme is interesting for all Europe. The first cut will be available in May."
Field of Dogs (Poland/Sweden)
Dir: Lech Majewski
Pro: Freddy Olsson – Bokomotiv (Sweden), Angelus Silesius (Poland)
Centres on a young man who quits his job as a literature professor to work at a supermarket, following the death of two friends in a car accident, for which he blames himself. It has a budget of $2m and is Majewski's follow up to The Mill and the Cross.
Olsson: "We have support from the Polish Film Institute and have secured a pre-sale in Italy. Otherwise, it's free. It was shot on the Red camera and editing is done. Have some sound to do so it will be ready in a month."
Long Bright Days (Un Coup de Feu dans L'eau) (Georgia, France, Germany)
Dir: Nana Ekvtimishvili, Simon Gross
Pro: Guillaume de Seille - Arizona Films, Polar Films, Studio 99, Indiz
Set in Tbilisi, Georgia in 1992, it focusses on two 14-year-old girls dealing with the challenges of male dominance, early marriage and young friendship. The film is a German-Georgian-French co-pro with the participation of ZDF/Arte, BKM, Georgian Film Center and Fonds Sud Cinema.
Ekvtimishvili: "Our casting took over a year. We saw teens from more than 100 schools and we were in rehearsal for a long time so when we started to shoot we were all close. The film is close to being finished."
Concrete Night (Finland, Sweden)
Dir: Pirjo Honkasalo
Pro: Mark Lwoff – Bufo (Finland)
Opening in a cramped, concrete-jungle home, the elder of two brothers is getting ready to go and serve his prison sentence. During Ilkka's last 24 hours of freedom, younger brother Simo follows the brother he admires through a fateful night.
Lwoff: "The film centres on that fragile moment between childhood and adulthood. We shot on the Alexa using anamorphic lenses and switched it from colour to black and white in the edit – because, simply, it looks better. We had the first rough cut yesterday. It will be finished in the spring."
This Is What It Is (Esto es lo que Hay) (France)
Dir: Léa Rinaldi
Pro: Léa Rinaldi - aLéa Film
A documentary about Cuban social-rap poets Los Aldeanos (The Villagers) from the director of Behind Jim Jarmusch.
Rinaldi: "This is the portrait of a new generation and revolution in Cuba – a project of resistance rather than dissidence. I have been filming for three years and am still in production. We have finance from CNC (France) but looking for distribution and partners to complete financing."
Love Eternal (Ireland, Luxembourg)
Dir: Brendan Muldowney
Pro: Conor Barry - SPFilms / Macdara Kelleher - Fastnet Films
Based on the Japanese novel Loving the Dead from acclaimed author Kei Oishi, the film centres on a death-fixated young man who – after shutting himself away for 10 years – is forced to venture out into a world that he no longer understands. Muldowney's follow-up to debut Savage, it has a budget of $2.8m (€2.2m) and is co-produced by Luxembourg's Red Lion, the Netherlands' Rinkel Film and Japan's T.O. Entertainment.
Morgan Bushe (producer): "We talked about making the film in Japan and in Japanese, before saying 'Let's do it in Ireland'. The film is locked. We are planning to insert VFX and sound mix. We hope to have something in January/February and are looking for a sales agent."
A Spell To Ward Off The Darkness (UK)
Dir: Ben Russell, Ben Rivers
Pro: Julie Gayet, Nadia Turincev - Rouge International
A non-fiction feature in three parts that refers to the cinema of Jean Rouch (Chronicle of a Summer), Lisandro Alonso (La Libertad) and Jean-Luc Godard (Sympathy for the Devil). It was shot on colour Super 16mm in Finland, Norway and Estonia.
Russell: "It is about the condition of living in a moment to find spiritual engagement without religion. Each part of the film is different but all three feature musician Robert A.A. Lowe, someone not from the space but who can be really present. The edit is done but we still have to do sound mixing and colour correction."

Talented midfieldman Ben Whitfield has become the first player to graduate from Guiseley's Academy with a professional contact.
The 18-year-old has signed an 18-month deal with Championship club Bournemouth.
Now the challenge is on for the academy, currently in its second season, to unearth more gems.
Guiseley officials are hopeful that Whitfield's success will attract a bumper response for the next set of academy trials which take place at Leeds Trinity University on Satur-day, February 22.
Club chairman Phil Rogerson said: "We are all delighted for Ben and his success is a reward for the hard work that has gone into establishing the academy.
Rogerson confirmed that Guiseley will be compensated if Whitfield is sold on by Bournemouth in future years.
Manager Mark Bower, who gave Whitfield his first team debut in the West Riding County Cup against Selby earlier this season, believes the player has made a good move.
"It is fantastic for him to get the chance to sign for a Championship club. Others were interested in a player of such promise," said Bower.
"He is a very good on the ball and though he is only small has great individual skills. He can beat a man and can also take a tackle.
"I am sure he will benefit from full-time training at Bournemouth. I have played against a side prepared by their manager Eddie Howe and the style of football should suit Ben."
He added: "The challenge for the academy is to produce more players like him. The academy is still in its infancy but already its work is being recognised.
"Ben, Kyle Harrison and Luke Porritt have all come through to play in our first team in the West Riding County Cup this season.
"Thanks to the work of Dave Curry, Colin Seal and Danny Ellis the academy is flourishing and as first team manager I am hopeful it will continue to produce players capable of playing in our first team, or going on to bigger things."
Whitfield, who had a trial with Huddersfield Town at the end of last year, said: "It's taken a while to get sorted but I'm really happy to be a Bournemouth player.
"Eddie Howe (Cherries manager) was a big part of why I decided to come down here because of the way he coaches and his teams play.
"It's a big move but that will make it easier for me and help me improve as a player.
"It's a really exciting time for me. I just want to try and impress the manager, do well for the develop-ment squad and hopefully something will happen for me in the first team."
