HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE hands-on
This time around, as its name blatantly implies, the handset is packing support for Big Red's speedy data connection, though, from an initial look, the HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE is merely nothing more than a mini HTC Rezound. Specifically, it employs the same characteristic design as the Rezound – with its soft touch pattern designed rear plastic casing. Well, it's a lot more form fitting in the hand mainly due to the fact that its size is smaller all around. Then again, the 4" qHD (540 x 960) Super LCD display kind of impacts that easier to hold in the hand feel. Despite its uninspiring design, it's still relatively solid with its overall build quality.
Under the hood, the handset's 1.2GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor enables the smartphone to move effortlessly with most operations. And seeing that this small bundle of joy is featuring the new Sense 4.0 UI running on top of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, it has all the usual arsenal of personalization that we come to expect. As for the rest, the HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE is regarded as a camera centric device – mainly because of the 8-megapixel snapper it's flaunting, which so happens to feature a F2.2 aperture lens, backside illumination, 1080p video recording, and a single LED flash.
Again, it's all going to hinge on price point as to whether or not it's going to be an attractive option. Clearly, the HTC Rezound still appears to be the spec-heavy device, but if pricing is somewhat justifiable with the HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE, it might simply prove to be a good enough sell for most people. Time will tell folks!

listen, not everyone wants a 4.5-5 inch screen! there are people that dont want to be bombarded with their phone! a nice mid to high end offering here and if the price is right, this should do well!
i'd like to see more of this, high end phones with smaller screen sizes and high rez's for those screens

I got a 13inch T.V. and it has knobs too!

I agree aztaxia12295 i have a Galaxy Nexus but am using a Droid Bionic i just got simply because although its not as badass as the Nexus it is still very nice and fast and much easier to live with because its not so huge
31. iamcc (Posts: 1319; Member since: 07 Oct 2011)
I agree. While I think the size of my Nexus is pretty perfect for me... it's too big for my girlfriend.
She almost always has to use two hands and I had to buy her a case because she kept dropping it... If there had been a 4" phone when we got our phones I think it would've been better for her.

I also do not want a huge phone like most of Verizon's LTE lineup. I am currently eligible for upgrade and really need a phone, but they're all too big. I like everything about the RAZR MAXX, but with the large screen and bezel it makes such a wide, large, phone.
4" screen size is not a con, it's an advantage!

Cool but Verizon goes stupid with the pricing...I mean to the most extreme!!!
7. Hunt3rj2 (Posts: 396; Member since: 11 Nov 2011)
Let's hope Verizon has the sense to launch this at 100 USD on contract. This is a great phone, but it's no flagship.
3. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5713; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
xD the only thing the Rezound has over this is the larger 720p display, everything else goes to this and i actually like the design on this. i swear all the best looking devices are on Verizon.
4. JBz007 (Posts: 63; Member since: 02 Mar 2012)
A lot have people have been waiting for a high end phone with a relatively small size. This should fill that void nicely. S4 is a beast.

All the best looking devices are on Verizon? Such as?
9. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5713; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
the Razr is Moto's most attractive, the Spectrum is LG's most attractive, the Galaxy Nexus is Samsung's most attractive and Verizon also has Motorola's and Samsung's most attractive tablets in the form of the Xyboards and the 7.7 and now they have HTC's most attractive if only in the looks department.
12. Commentator (Posts: 3722; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
I'm assuming you mean "attractive" by looks. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, i guess, because I'd say both the One S and One X are much better looking phones. I'd equate this to the Evo 4G LTE in looks.
13. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5713; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
yes, i do mean by visual appeal. i think this looks better than the Ones but not by much.
15. Commentator (Posts: 3722; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
That's fair, but I am a bit concerned as to how much the screen seems to be washing out at even the slightest angle. Not that people look at their phone from the side anyways, but it's a shame that this is a regular S-LCD, not an S-LCD 2.
19. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5713; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
at this size the SAA display would've suited it better because they could've made it thinner with the AMOLED panel much like the One S and the pixel density is really fine at 275dpi especially considering that the alternative would've meant having this baby pushing pixels to a brighter 720p display with a 1700mAh battery.
22. Commentator (Posts: 3722; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
I guess I don't understand why they didn't just use a modified One S... I thought HTC was trying to cut back on the amount of different phones they put out there. The Evo is just a modded One X, after all.
If they used the One S as the Incredible's basis they could've thrown the same SAA screen on there, and increased the size by .3 inches. I guess Verizon probably had a lot of say in the matter though, and if they wanted it like this, they probably had their reasons.
25. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5713; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
yeah, i'm like you on this. it seemed ideal for HTC to revive their previous best sellers with their new Flagship series but i guess it was just Verizon that wanted the 4.0" to stay because everything else about it is One S-Esque.
18. Lucas777 (Posts: 2137; Member since: 06 Jan 2011)
i dont think the nexus is the most attractive samsung phone… the SII looks nicer-- the back of the nexus is just ugly… LG has practically no attractive phones, but the prada 3.0 is much better looking than the spectrum… the razr i agree is the best looking moto, but the xyboard have never been anywhere but verizon so its not really up for competition…
verizon leaves desired obvious good looking devices such as the lumia 900 and the one x (which i think looks the best out of any android phone)
20. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5713; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
the Nexus with it's curved glass and buttonless face doesn't look better than the GSII? insanity. the back looks fine i think. the Prada 3.0 has no carrier availability so it doesn't count and in a comparison there is always a most attractive option and in LG's line-up of carrier available phones it's definitely the Spectrum. that's the point. it's the most attractive Moto Tablet...and it's on Verizon. if it were anywhere else mentioning it would've been irrelevant to my point. Verizon may yet receive a Nokia device and i wasn't real impressed with the One X. it looks okay but that's it. i even saw one yesterday and it didn't feel nearly as good as i thought it would.

You need to raise your standards some if you think those phones look attractive. Attractive doesn't mean good though.
32. iamcc (Posts: 1319; Member since: 07 Oct 2011)
Maybe I like brunettes and you like blondes but that doesn't mean either of us have to "raise our standards".
33. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5713; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
to what exactly? xD
well it's a good thing they're good phones too then huh? :P
10. Whateverman (Posts: 3284; Member since: 17 May 2009)
The Razr comes to mind! :)
Galaxy Nexus, iPhone 4S and the Rezound are all good looking phones too, but there are a few I wished VZW would have snagged like the Note, SGSII, and the Evo when it was new.
14. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5713; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
i didn't count the 4S because it's Apple's only current phone and it's available on AT&T & Sprint as well. Verizon could do with the Note but i'm kind of curious to see how this 5.0" HTC will turn out. VZW didn't need a Crapdragon powered SII, the rest of the line-up would have trampled all over that thing and as for the EVO, i don't think people missed it THAT much with the original Incredible present and since there was no near availability of any kind of 4G on Verizon the Sprint version would've been better anyway.
24. cepcamba (Posts: 717; Member since: 27 Feb 2012)
I just have to say, Most Beautiful Phone (looks) goes to the RAZR :p
26. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5713; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
definitely does. it's really sleek. o:
28. Whateverman (Posts: 3284; Member since: 17 May 2009)
True, the Dinc did fill the slot for a high end HTC at the time, I just had a little screen envy with the 4.3 inch display. That 5.0 HTC SOUNDS like a good idea, but honestly HTC's designs are getting really old for me. My wife has had 3 HTC devices and I received the Dinc 2 as a replacement for my DX. So at this point I'm all Sensed out. I get nauseous when I see HTC phones now wether it's 3, 3.5, or 4.0. I know it's the most appealing UI to most Andrd users, but it's gotten really old looking to me.
36. JunitoNH (Posts: 1934; Member since: 15 Feb 2012)
Actually beg to differ, I think AT&Thieves, unfortunately have the best phones. SGS2, Nokia Lumia, GNote, HTC X, and Samsung Focus and on and on. Verizon, the only attractive phone is the iPhone. Moto's are ugly; Rezound a block of ice; GNx looks, well still trying to figure it out, either a child's toy or my grandfather's old shoe.
39. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5713; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
that's the most ridiculous thing i've heard in my life.

We investigated the feasibility of using a silica microsphere sensor for detection of small molecules. Using the silica molecules (60 Da) at the sphere's surface as a model system, we measured the spectral shifts in the whispering-gallery modes (WGMs) when the sphere size was decreased by a hydrofluoric acid (HF) solution. The results demonstrate that our sensor is capable of detecting a 4 pm (or 0.01 layer of silica) decrease in sphere radius, corresponding to a change of 0.4 fmol silica molecule. These results suggest that small molecules can be detected in trace quantities at the surface of an optical microsphere sensor.

Project underway to make Wright State bike-friendly by 2020
January 30, 2017
Filed under News, Top Stories
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Ohio is home to hundreds of bike routes and some routes traveling outside of the state. Wright State is located between two largely known trails; the Creekside Trail and one that spans from New York to North Dakota known as the Wright Brother's –Huffman Prairie Bikeway.
These paths are close to the university, but renovations to the bike paths or creation of accessibility for bikes on campus have not taken place.
Director of Student Union and Campus Recreation, Eric Corbitt, hopes to change that. There are currently ideas toward creating a project to install bike racks, bring in rental bikes and create better access to trails, as well as education for people on the importance of biking and safety.
In the fall of last year, Student Government issued a survey to students to gauge the interest they had in biking, and had an overwhelming response from over 1300 people.
With the creation of the Wright Way Bridge, Corbitt plans to create a more bike-friendly path to the university. There is currently a mapped out path but additions of signs and markers are being added.
The addition of a bike program would mean there is availability for students to access bikes. It not only is a very healthy form of transportation, but it is also good for the environment and cuts down on the parking problems students and faculty face.
The university will be hosting the next bicycling summit in early May.
Corbitt stated, "What we would like to do eventually in the next year or two, is to have a plan to make Wright State a bike friendly campus by 2020."

Mistress Wife Spanks Slave Husband Daily
Jillian is a married sadist. Don is her slave husband.
When Jillian proposed, she invited Don to become her "whipping post."
In the Femdomonomic wedding service Don promised to "serve, suffer for and obey" his Mistress Wife.
Except periods of illness, Jillian has paddled Don at least once a day.
She spanks Don daily. Some would call it a maintenance spanking. Jillian calls it fun. When Don makes a mistake, she paddles his butt twice. Experience has trained him to complete his tasks and chores without error.
Jillian enjoys Don's tears and moans. She warned him there would be no mercy. If he needed that, he should marry another man.
Don must stand when spanked. Jillian noticed early that he seemed to ache more standing than when resting on the bed or over her knees.
She does not hate Don. Nor love him. He is perhaps something akin to a pet. Not that Jillian would treat a pet the way she handles her husband.
Her mother was a strict female supremacist. Jillian's father was weak and lazy. Only brutal punishment kept him from trouble.
This influenced Jillian. She can never see a man as an equal. Unfair? Feeling such worry is pointless, she would ignore the question.
Don loves his Mistress Wife. He is no masochistic. Nor has he become used to daily pain.
He knows that were he to leave, Jillian could easily find another submale spouse.
Tears, like his chastity device are part of his daily routine.
Jillian' sister is coming for a visit next week. The two sisters are of the same mind. They believe in female superiority. Both enjoy hurting men.
Jillian has already told Don that her sister asked to use her belt on him. Jillian was happy to oblige.
For the coming month, he will suffer harsh corporal punishment twice daily.
He will have to sleep in the basement. Women take priority in this home.
Jillian makes the decisions. He only has to obey. His life organized for him, he never feels nervous stress.
She enforces healthy habits. She monitors his time on the treadmill and with weights. He is never sick.
Don's buttocks may ache but he is content with his lot. Freedom would be a burden.

It is often said that Aberdonians are tight - they even invented copper wire fighting over a penny - I live 40 miles from Aberdeen and I read this story today in the local press.
How embarrassed must this guy be now that all the details of his claim (including his address) have been published!
(lol - "Armchair Enthusiast"!)
Published: 04/06/2012
AN ABERDEEN armchair enthusiast was today facing a legal bill after losing a court battle over his favourite comfy seat.
Thomas Kelly tried to sue the seller after marks appeared on the furniture, but a sheriff, at Aberdeen Sheriff Court, ruled the armchair had been stained by Mr Kelly's own sweat.
Mr Kelly, of 44 Hopetoun Drive, Bucksburn, Aberdeen, had paid £2,530 for two armchairs and a three-seat sofa from Andersons House Furnishers (Inverurie) Ltd two years ago.
The firm asked for an independent report which found no manufacturing fault and instead blamed "sweat" for the marks.
Awarding costs against Mr Kelly, Sheriff Jack Brown said: "The appearance and finish of the suite now is as a result of months of use by the pursuer and the effect of his sweat coming into contact with the suite."

Star Parker: How to Attract Minority Voters to the GOP
Star Parker, author of the superb Uncle Sam's Plantation and herself a genuine American up-from-poverty-and-dependency story, has long known the way to attract more minority voters to the Republican Party.
Parker heads CURE, the Center for Urban Renewal and Education. CURE's mission is "fighting poverty and restoring dignity through faith, freedom, and personal responsibility."
That mission is wholly consistent with a traditional Republican, conservative, Ronald-Reagan-style message. It is the exact opposite of the Left's pandering, condescending message of victimhood, cultivation of dependency, and demagogic demonization of all those who disagree with the Left's neo-Marxist worldview.
In her June memo to CURE supporters, Parker writes:
During @Large — a conference in Baton Rouge in May aimed at attracting black conservatives — a black Democrat in the Louisiana Legislature, Elbert Guillory, announced that he was switching political parties and becoming a Republican.
Less than two weeks later, just up the road in Central City, La., a black Democrat city councilman made the same announcement. Ralph Washington, who'd also attended @Large conference, said he's turned Republican.
The mystery is why this is not happening more often.
I'm asked all the time why — when it is so clear that blacks are damaged by the left-wing political agenda — black voters so uniformly and consistently support Democratic candidates who advance this agenda.
My answer is that Republicans need to start acting more like the businesspeople they claim to be.
Any business leader who is convinced that his or her product is the best does not blame customers if they are not buying it. The leader doubles down on efforts to understand these potential customers better and how to sell to them.
There needs to be more appreciation of differences in the black population.
A 2011 Gallup poll showed that whereas 39 percent of whites say they are "very religious," 53 percent of blacks do. Many of these "very religious" blacks are conservative and very different from blacks on the left who identify with the NAACP.
The @Large conference was hosted by Pastor C.L. Bryant, the central character in Runaway Slave, an inspiring movie in which he tells his own story about leaving the Left-wing black establishment. As Parker writes:
Bryant was president of the NAACP chapter in Garland, Texas. But his relationship with the NAACP soured when he refused to speak at a Planned Parenthood pro-abortion event.
His eyes began to open and see that his traditional Christian values — protecting the unborn, promoting traditional family, individual freedom and dignity — were out of whack with the political agenda blacks were automatically signing onto.
Guillory is the first black Republican in the Louisiana state legislature since Reconstruction. Listen to him to understand why a conservative black leaves the Democrat Party.
He called the Democrats "the party of disappointment" and expressed disillusionment with Democrat policies on abortion, gun control, education and immigration.
Democrats "have moved away from the traditional values of most Americans," he said. "Their policies have encouraged high teen birth rates, high high-school dropout rates, high incarceration rates and very high unemployment rates."
Or listen to now-Republican councilman Washington:
"The value system I was raised up with, it really doesn't side with the Democrats. … Some of the things I see happening today, with the entitlement programs, we have to change. We can't continue doing the things we are doing and survive."
Parker concludes with:
It has always seemed pretty clear to me that traditional values and personal freedom and responsibility must be the agenda moving forward for every American of every background.
Black Americans, like every other American, need fewer taxes taken out of their paycheck, need to be able to choose where to send their child to school, need to be able to freely pick a health care plan that suits their needs, and need to save for retirement instead of paying payroll taxes.
You can't sum it up any better than what Guillory and Ralph Washington have said. There are many, many Guillorys and Washingtons out there in black America.
We need more efforts like the @Large conference to reach them.
So …
Conservatives who despair over the prospects of attracting minority voters to conservative candidates should read the works and websites of Parker and Bryant, supporting both of them in words, deeds, and donations. They carry the right message, they deliver it with highest credibility, and they do it in an engaging style that inspires everyone.
In my humble opinion, in coming elections, donation money is wasted if it's sent to the RNC for the same old beltway consultants who get paid huge fees for losing elections. It would be far better and more productive to support groups like Parker's and Bryant's — starting now.
See also compelling message below, posted as this article goes to press. This is Louisiana State Senator Elbert Guillory, the man who just switched his registration from Democrat to Republican. Welcome and godspeed, Senator!

That's what I say about the Latino population. They are devout Christians whose faith is in direct conflict with the so called values of the Left, yet from the day they immigrate to the US the Left is recruiting them. The GOP needs to meet them where they live and make Star's point, the GOP is their true political home.
@LeticiaVelasquez Recruitment is big at every naturalization ceremony. It's time conservatives fight back using the Left's tactics.
@sleepergirl @LeticiaVelasquez And maybe conservatives can add a few new techniques as well.
@dleeper47 @sleepergirl @LeticiaVelasquez Yes yes yes to all three of you. The left has been targeting immigrants since Tammany Hall. We must fight back.
What do you think would resonate most with people at a naturalization ceremony? Do you think that "free stuff" and "Republicans hate people like you" are too much to overcome? What should the message be?
@WesternFreePress @dleeper47 @sleepergirl How about making a video of Marco Rubio's talk at the GOP Convention, the "I was giving a speech in the front of the hotel conference room while my dad was working at the bar in the back". The pull yourself up by your own bootstraps stories which inspired our immigrant grandparents to come to NYC at the beginning of the 1900's. We are the party of success and don't immigrants still want success? Some of them take the dependency road or shortcut by lawsuits, etc, but I worked teaching English to Latino adults for twenty years and the work ethic has not died. These guys worked in the sun all week and got up early on Sat mornings for a five hour ESL class, for which they paid $250 plus books. I really talked to them about moral values, and they should be Republicans. But we don't take time to recruit them and their media and the social service agencies have more access to them.
@LeticiaVelasquez @dleeper47 @sleepergirl Taking the time and effort is certainly the first step. If you don't ask, the answer is automatically no.
@sleepergirl Right, and in health clinics, welfare offices, public schools, and sadly, Catholic churches who would never get away with recruiting for the GOP.
@LeticiaVelasquez Sadly is true about the liberal Catholic Church, to which I belong. Our parish is very active in Valley Interfaith Project with the blessing of our pastor Eric Tellez. My Catholic Church has been hijacked by the Left in my opinion. They have too long relied on federal funding, which they confuse with charity.
@sleepergirl @LeticiaVelasquez That is a problem across the board, but especially with the Catholic Church. Every time I hear someone talk about solidarity with the poor and then conflate that with transfer payments taken by the government from one man, by force, to give to someone else, I want to tear my hair out!
@WesternFreePress @sleepergirl Somehow those who care about the poor in the Church have become wedded to the welfare system. I saw it as a Social Worker in Catholic Charities right out of college. I worked with poor immigrants in an English as a Second Language School and saw a much more healthy," I can do it" attitude. We have to help create this within the Church. It won't be easy, but we are losing good immigrants to the party of Death.
@LeticiaVelasquez @sleepergirl Very sad, though of course this is not just a problem in the Church. The whole society has drunk deep of statism, and now believes that government is the first choice for the delivery of desirable social aims, rather than the choice of last resort.
All the above seems so reasonable and common sense, so within the realm of possibility. Sen Paul broke the ice at Howard a month or two ago. It took courage because he was not exactly received with open arms nor did he expect it. But that's indeed what has to be done to "sell our product" which we know traditionally blacks and hispanics will like if we go to them "showing and telling" our wares.

The Baggies' captain has missed the majority of pre-season through injury, and wants to utilise the clash against Finland to ensure he is in peak condition for the campaign ahead
Brunt has missed most of pre-season with a calf strain and only made his comeback recently as a substitute against Nottingham Forest.
The former Sheffield Wednesday winger is looking to get as much preparation done as possible in order to be ready and the international friendly is the perfect opportunity for him to do so.
He told Sky Sports News: "Internationals at this stage are never good timing but, from my point of view, having missed virtually every friendly, it will be good to get some minutes under my belt.
|WBA are 3.75 with bet365 to beat Liverpool on the opening day of the season
"I should then get a better idea of how fit I am and hopefully I'll be involved in the first league game against Liverpool at the weekend."
Brunt admitted: "It's been a rubbish pre-season from my point of view. I went back to Belfast during the summer, went for a run, and just felt my calf go.
"Then it flared up again in Sweden but I felt okay against Forest so touch wood it is now fine."

|AW: OCM cache?
|Fri, 06 Mar 2009 11:57:09 GMT
Well for my setup i used the jackrabbit web application to supply a server with the repository. Thex my Webapplication conntects to the jackrabbit server via RMI And reads the objects with ocm. Filling the objects takes a really lokng time. I have stored artikels in jackrabbit and for 10 artikles it takes like 5 seconds. I have tried to connect to the jackrabbit webaplication via JNDI since my application is in the same server container but I couldn't find out how to make the jackrabbit webapplication to suplay a global JNDI recourse. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Christophe Lombart [mailto:email@example.com] Gesendet: Freitag, 6.

It seems to me being in a relationship is so much better than having to date multiple people. Why do some women prefer to date around than settle down with one person?
Most Helpful Guy
Different strokes for different folks. I prefer to concentrate on one person at a time. I started dating this gal. Went on many dates. LOTS of texts. Lots of phone time, etc. The whole she was sleeping with someone else. Seems kind of odd to be sleeping with someone on a regular basis while dating people looking for a long term relationship. I can't say she did something wrong because we weren't technically dating, but it seems odd to me.
Anyways, I told I didn't realize she was involved with someone else; otherwise, I wouldn't have pursued her. She said he didn't mean anything to her and she would end things and we could become exclusive. I thought about it for a bit, but ended up dumping her.10|10|0

The two occupants of the car — a lady and the male driver — drove away from the scene after thrashing the cop, and even evaded a check point set up to nab them after the incident was reported by the constable to the control room from his wireless handset.
The incident occurred at 6 pm, when constable Motiram More, attached with Pydhonie traffic division, intercepted a Skoda car (MH43 V 4432) driving on the wrong side of the narrow and busy road.
According to Pydhonie traffic department officials, More then asked the car driver to take his car to the side, so that the traffic could move.
However, the driver and the woman started abusing him, with the driver then even resorting to kicking and punching him to vent his anger, before fleeing from the spot. More regained his composure, and quickly informed the JJ Marg police.
After they received the call, five cops stationed at Chakala junction, identified the approaching Skoda, and tried to stop it, but to no avail.
A police officer from J J Marg police station said, "We are taking down statements of the constable and we will then register case." The occupants of the car haven't been unidentified yet.
Past incidents
>> On August 29, a 22-year-old boy was arrested for slapping lady traffic constable. The cop had stopped him from jumping the lights.
>> On August 16, bikers assaulted a traffic cop after he tried to stop them from plying on the JJ flyover, which is banned for motorbikes.

Joe Dempsie's character on Game of Thrones has taken a more central role this season, and in a new interview he talks about Gendry and his relationship with Arya. Beware of mild spoilers.
Speaking to TV Guide, Dempsie talks about Gendry and how he's interpreting the character:
I saw him as someone who hasn't had a very easy start in life. He has no idea who his father was and has no idea where his mother is either — is she dead? Is she away? So I think he's had to be quite tough and grow up a bit early on. It's implied in the books that he's not too bright, which is something I've tried to change quite a bit with my portrayal. He's not sophisticated and isn't particularly educated either but he's certainly got street smarts about him and has got a determination. I also think he's a man of principle. He's probably seen a lot of horrible things, seen people treated pretty badly and he's quite a fair person.
He also discusses the nature of Gendry and Arya's relationship, and his answer should be of particular interest to book fans:
From what I gather in the books, there's kind of an implied potential romance there for further down the line. But the way the casting is on the show, that's not going to happen. […] Now she's shared her secret with him and he's promised to keep it safe. I don't think Gendry has ever been given that level of responsibility before or ever felt like people trusted him enough to do that. I think he looks upon her as a little sister now. That's something he's never really experienced before. The other way around, he kind of reminds Arya of her older brothers.
Arya and Gendry's relationship is certainly a big part of future books, but do you agree with Dempsie's interpretation?
Please note that we like to keep the site fairly spoiler-free as far as the Ice and Fire saga goes, but participate in any Game of Thrones comments discussion at your own risk.

The Japanese word 'sorei' (祖霊) refers to the spirits of ancestors. Specifically it refers to the spirits of those ancestors that have been the target of special memorial services that have been held for them at certain fixed times after their death. The dates and the frequencies of these services vary widely depending on the region of Japan.[1][2] Suitable occasions may for example be 33 and 50 years after death.[3]
A special belief connected with sorei is the notion that the memorial services result in the ancestral spirit successively losing its individuality, eventually becoming an entirely deindividualized part of the collective of sorei.[1] However, depending on the region people may think that these services are merely aimed at properly disposing or pacifying the ancestral spirit.[2]
The folklorist Yanagita Kunio has asserted that the rituals and ideas around sorei could be fitted into a general scheme whereby ancestors become not only protectors, but kami or ujigami. However, while it is possible that in the distant past such a development with regard to certain ancestors has occurred, according to other scholars that cannot be proven.[2] Contemporary Japanese may, in relation to their recently dead, not think about the ancient notion of ujigami at all, but they do have a notion about the spirits of the dead becoming some sort of enlightened being. Indeed, another word for the departed soul is in Japanese hotoke, which also means Buddha.[4]

When Obama Insulted Dallas, The Police Chief's Response Was Brutally Honest
By now, most are familiar with the story of what happened in Dallas merely a week ago.
An Army veteran fired down on a crowd of protestors with the goal of killing police officers. Police were able to protect the crowd, but not without losing five of their own brave officers.
For hours the country watched in horror as the Dallas Police Department worked to bring the cop-killer to justice, eventually using a bomb-armed robot to take him out after negotiations broke down.
As the nation looked to what the City of Dallas would do, Dallas Police Chief David Brown acted as a pillar of strength, not only for the community he serves, but for the country as a whole. In the midst of absolute tragedy, Chief Brown never lost sight of his duties. In fact, he even issued a challenge to the entire city, and more specifically, those who are protesting against police departments throughout the country:
"Don't be a part of the problem. We're hiring. Get out of the protest line and put an application in. We'll put you in your neighborhood."
Imagine if the people taking the streets put on a badge instead, and served their community. Think of how different our country would look if these same protestors were putting their time in giving back, as opposed to yelling about the same officers who would (and did) take a bullet for them.
Chief Brown says that although the job can oftentimes be thankless, he still goes home every day with a sense of accomplishment, and pride:
"I love serving. Out of all the crap we have to take as police officers, the satisfaction you get from serving is … gratifying."
Days later, President Obama took the stage in Dallas to speak at a memorial for the fallen officers, and – as if on cue – began talking about the racial divide in the country, and cops targeting black people:
"We wonder if an African-American community that feels unfairly targeted by police, and police departments that feel unfairly maligned for doing their jobs, can ever understand each other's experience."
These two gentlemen both acknowledge there is a problem, but both offer widely different solutions. While the president puts the blame on those who have sworn to protect their community, Chief David Brown challenges his city to get involved, and be the change they want to see.
This disparity in rhetoric shouldn't come as a surprise, as we've had eight years of a "sit around and wait for change" administration echoing that same sentiment. Why would anyone want to get involved, and actually fix the problem, when the leader of our country expects things to simply change on a whim? Obama wants to talk about repairing a racial divide, but is blaming police officers in the middle of a memorial for brave servants who gave their lives.
Fortunately for the City of Dallas there's a police chief willing to challenge the status quo, and hold the members of his community accountable for the safety of the city. People don't even need to become police officers to make a difference, but pointing fingers is a lot easier than volunteering, and stepping up.
Thank you, Chief David Brown, for challenging people to put down their picket signs, and put their time into building up their neighborhoods. Your leadership is exactly what America needs in these confusing times.
Please share this if you believe in what Chief Brown is saying!

A cross between Dragon's Den, an unconference, and a speed dating session, the day is designed to provide a genuinely useful and productive experience, an opportunity to meet lots of people, hear about loads of new ideas, share your own ideas and go away fired up with possibilities.
Our selected app developers and innovators – more than 20 of them from local authorities, start-ups and established players - will make short, elevator-pitch style presentations from the stage. They will cover the needs their innovation addresses and the benefits that will be delivered.
But, like a movie trailer these presentations are intended to give away just enough for delegates to identify who and what they want to follow-up.
To facilitate the following-up, each presenter will host a table throughout the day and delegates will be able to join them to talk or just to listen. There will be eight, 20 minute, scheduled, discussion sessions to explore details, share knowledge, find synergies, create opportunities.
As a delegate you will get a plan of the tables with presenter details and a card to note who you simply must go and see. You can grab a coffee and hang out on one table for an hour or join a table, raise your hand, ask a single question ("how is your thing scalable?") and then move on to another table. No one will take offence at your departure and it's a sure thing, as you listen to and join in the other conversations, you will think of something you forgot to ask, and so return to the table you visited a few sessions ago.
Refreshments will be available throughout the day and lunch comes in a bag so all available time can be used and productive conversations won't need to be interrupted.
The programme below provides a flavour of what's going to be on offer (Timings of speaker slots may be subject to some adjustment).

Hurtta Bounty Bag
A rugged and spacious dog treat bag.
Probably the most useful of treat bags for space and convenience is the Hurtta Bounty Bag and that's because it holds the largest quantity of treats than all of Hurtta's other treat bags but also because it's so easy to operate when on the move.
The main purpose of this treat bag is to work as a large but secure pocket to house your treats. There's a elasticated mouth of the bag keeps treats in whilst being highly accessible.
A central pocket on the front of the treat bag opens up via a sturdy zip fitting and this is the compartment where you'll want to put extra doggy bags, treats or your accessories such as a phone or your keys. The outer shell of this pocket houses a storage spout for pooh bags.
To wear this doggy treat bag, simply fasten the adjustable belt around your waist which fits sizes 27" to 54". Additionally, use the heavy duty clip on the back to fasten to your trousers or your belt just so the bag stays put when you're moving.
You can probably see why professionals love the Bounty Bag but with an added carabiner clip for accessories such as water bottles, you're all set for a great walk with the pooch.
As is the case with just about all of Hurtta's products, the belt section and treat bag itself is lined with stylish 3M reflectors so you remain visible in low light conditions.

Overrated to the max.
Most Helpful Guy
I did read it got good reviews. I hope it is good. Not a big fan of CT though.00|00|0
What's CT? Have you seen other movies directed by George Miller? He did the original Mad Max movies, but I was surprised by his other ones. Quite a range of movies. I heard it's a standard revenge story but basically one long action scene. You know the trailer? I think the entire movie is like that. Some people are really into that idea.
CT = Charlize Theron
MAD MAX, The Road Warrior is one of my all time fav movies. I love the whole series. I plan to see this soon. I hope it is good. I understand not everyone is into long dirty and loud action scenes, but this is the stuff I like. Not into romantic comedies.

Customs and Border Protection head Alan Bersin is leaving office before the end of the year, the agency said Thursday.
Bersin was given a recess appointment in 2010 after the Senate didn't act on his nomination for seven months. He will step down Dec. 30, one day before his term is set to expire.
President Obama nominated Bersin to be commissioner of CBP in September 2009, and used a recess appointment to put him in charge of the border agency in March 2010 after the Senate didn't act on the nomination.
Recess appointments may be made when Congress is not in session, but may not carry over into a new congressional term.
"My service as commissioner has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my public life. I am immensely proud of the significant and meaningful achievements we have made on our borders and at our nation's ports of entry over nearly two years," Bersin said in a statement announcing his resignation.
Praising Bersin for "distinguished leadership," Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said "During his tenure, CBP has taken historic steps to secure our borders while facilitating legal travel and trade. Commissioner Bersin has also been instrumental in facilitating new international agreements and public-private partnerships as well as developing new paradigms throughout the world in combating terrorism and international crime."
"Commissioner Bersin has helped set CBP on a path to continuously adapt and seek new and innovative ways of keeping our country – and our communities – safe," she said.
CBP's deputy commissioner, David V. Aguilar, will serve as acting commissioner, Napolitano announced.

We have developed a badging system for our UNI Instructional Technology Masters Program. This was a project that Dr. Gao, Dr, Herring and I worked on over the summer.
This badging program is designed to create a means of acknowledging success using a mini-credentialling system.
This badging program is designed to create a means of acknowledging success using a mini-credentialling system.
Setting the StageWe began by identifying a series of standards to which we could align. It was decided that the Transformative Learning model would be used as our primary alignment system. This is a set of Outcomes that describe Transformative Learning as being composed of 4 areas including:
- Global Citizenship
- Leadership, Collaboration, and Advocacy
- Rapidly Changing Content
- Multiple Ways of Learning and Teaching
These 4 areas in this conceptual framework are composed of a variety of characteristics. Here is a link chart that describes what you see in the star above.
Reviewing Our Courses
We reviewed our courses and then aligned them with the Transformational Learning framework.
Aligning with ISTE Standards
Once we had made this alignment, we decided to align them with the ISTE Standards for Teachers and Coaches. This resulted with an in-depth chart of this alignment. This sort of alignment could be completed with any other sort of standards that might better align with a student's profession or professional goals (i.e., commercial training.)
Identifying Badges
Having completed these alignments, we decided to identify the types of roles or badges that our students would be able to attain while progressing through our UNI Instructional Technology Masters program.
Each of these badges has a specific set of requirements for completion.
Digital Presence Badge requirements
This badging process is still a work in progress, but as you complete your 2 year cohort you will be earning badges along the way.
Way to Go!!!!
