As President Barack Obama urged House Democrats to make history by passing the health care overhaul Sunday, Californians remain divided on the issue.
Supporters say the plan will help the Golden State, which carries the largest public insurance program for the poor and is struggling with a growing number of uninsured.
But opponents like Republican U.S. Senate candidate Carly Fiorina campaigned against it, saying the bill would contribute to more government spending and higher taxes.
There are two people who spent a huge amount of their personal political capital on the vote. They are President Barack Obama and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Pelosi announced Saturday House Democratic leaders decided to hold a straight up-or-down vote on the bill, dropping a controversial plan that would have allowed members to approve the bill without voting on it directly.
Standing next to Pres. Obama on Saturday Pelosi said, "The best for all Americans is to have 32 million more people to have health insurance in our country. The best for our country is to have $1.3 trillion in deficit reduction so that we're not heaping on mountains of debt. The best for our country is to hold the insurance companies accountable and not let them come between patients and their doctors."
Pelosi also spent time Saturday meeting behind closed doors with her undecided co-workers, including anti-abortion Democrats -- Reps. Kathy Dahlkemper and Chris Carney of Pennsylvania, and Steven Driehaus of Ohio. She met with each of them separately. They appeared to be on the side of Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., leader of abortion foes who are opposing the health bill unless tight restrictions are included.
Hundreds of people picketed Democratic incumbents in swing congressional districts in the Central Valley, some in an effort to block the legislation, others to pass it.
Supporters of the plan say it will help California, which carries the largest public insurance program for the poor and is struggling with a growing number of uninsured.
The 10-year, $940 billion measure represents the biggest expansion of the social safety net since Medicare was enacted more than 50 years ago.
California stands to benefit the most from the reform proposal. Still, some residents remain suspicious of the way legislators have gone about trying to enact reforms.

Three banks abused their power to manipulate the daily benchmark price for silver, violating U.S. antitrust laws and rules established by the Commodity Exchange Act, according to a lawsuit filed in Manhattan on behalf of traders.
The accusations come as banks have fallen under increased scrutiny since the summer of 2012 when they were found to be manipulating the daily London Interbank Offered Rate, or Libor, which affects the cost of borrowing worldwide, from business borrowing to car and home loans.
A complaint filed in a federal court in Manhattan Friday alleges London's HSBC Holdings plc (LON:HSBA), Frankfurt's Deutsche Bank AG (ETR:DBK) and Toronto-based Bank of Nova Scotia (TSE:BNS) established, "positions in both physical silver and silver derivatives prior to the public release of silver fixing results, allowing them to reap large illegitimate profits."
HSBC and Deutsche Bank are the world's second- and third-largest banks by the value of the assets they own.

Tigers hold defender talks
Hull City manager Phil Brown is talking to a Premier League defender ahead of the likely departure of Michael Turner.
Last Updated: 31/08/09 10:49am
Hull City manager Phil Brown has opened talks with a Premier League defender ahead of the likely departure of Michael Turner.
The Tigers boss is bracing himself for the centre-back's departure before Tuesday's transfer deadline with Sunderland understood to be closing in on a deal.
As a result, Brown is hatching contingency plans and has met an unnamed Premier League defender.
He is also expected to talk to Manchester City striker Benjani on Monday with the Zimbabwean expected in Hull for a medical.
But the future of Turner continues to hang in the balance and while Brown is refusing to give up hope of keeping him, he accepts that the right money would force him to part with City's star defender.
"There have been two or three clubs who have made quite substantial bids and they are getting towards our valuation," Brown told the Hull Daily Mail.
"I am hoping we can hang on to him but, if we don't, we will have to try and get better in the camp.
"The problem is we are a bit close to the deadline.
"I am talking to a Premier League striker and, hopefully, if he passes the medical we will get him in.
"I am also talking to a Premier League centre half - just in case."
Tigers goalkeeper Boaz Myhill says the club will sorely miss Turner if the defender departs.
He said: "Of course, no-one wants to lose a player of Michael's calibre but it is not our call.
"It is the people in charge of the club who have to make the decision. All we do is get on with it.
"I don't know anything about that. What I will say is if he does go, he will do so with everyone's best wishes."

I Prize Cryptic Crossword No 2116
Crosswords3 mins ago
Q. Sounds fascinating - hmmm. Go on then, what are they
A. Have a look on the back cover and/or the imprint page (usually page 4) of any book published in the West - and increasingly elsewhere - in the last 30 years and you'll see 10-digit number along the lines of 0 7206 1119 9. This is an International Standard Book Number, or ISBN, a number which uniquely identifies a book anywhere in the world.
Q. And no doubt you're going to tell us how they work
A. The purpose of the ISBN is to establish and identify one title or edition of a title from one specific publisher and is unique to that edition - so the hardback and paperback editions of one title will have different numbers.
Every ISBN is divided into 4 parts: region or country identifier, which identifies a linguistic or geographic grouping of publishers; publisher identifier; title identifier, which identifies a particular title or edition of a title; and check digit, which is the single digit at the end of the ISBN and which 'validates' the whole sequence. When written down these different parts should be separated by a hyphen or a space.
So, to take the example above: 0 = English-language zone (the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the USA all use 0); 7206 identifies the publisher (Peter Owen); 1119 identifies the book (The Moon and the Bonfire by Cesare Pavese, 2001 paperback reprint edition); 9 validates the rest (any ISBN software will recognise that only a certain sequence of numbers can be validated by a 9 check digit).
Q. Hang on. Why do some ISBNs end in an X
A. An X at the end is a Roman 10 rather than the letter x.
Q. OK. Any more
A. The number of digits in the first three parts varies. The number of digits in the group number and in the publisher prefix is determined by the quantity of titles planned to be produced by the publisher or regional group. Publishers or regions with large title outputs are represented by fewer digits. So, for instance, a very big house such as Penguin has a prefix of 0 14 (English-language area plus 14, the Penguin identifier); a small, specialist press with only a few titles per annum will have a longer prefix (Guildhall Library Publications, for example, uses 0 900422).
Other regional or group prefixes are: 3 for the German-language group; 982 denotes the South Pacific group, while 976 is used in the Caribbean Community zone (these last are obviously geographical rather than language-based examples).
Q. So they really are useful
A. Publishers were resistant at first, but the benefits for efficient sales, marketing and stock control for all organisations concerned are obvious. Not only can publishers track their sales but libraries, shops and wholesalers can order and check their turnover of titles more efficiently. It is also invaluable for the book buyer who can be guaranteed to get the correct edition - or even the correct book if there is more than one with the same title.
Benefits to publishers include free listing of their books in various directories, such as Whitaker's Books in Print and the Bookseller Buyers' Guide
Q. When were they brought in
A. The movement which eventually gave rise to the ISBN system had its origins in the 19th century, when pioneering cataloguing work in both the UK and USA by publishers and libraries was undertaken. Eventually set out in ISO Standard 2108 in the late 1960s, the system began in the UK and soon spread throughout the English-speaking world and elsewhere. At last count 159 countries had adopted the system.
Q. And who administers them
A. In the UK it is administered by J. Whitaker & Sons (who also publish the weekly organ of the book trade The Bookseller). Whitaker's were instrumental in devising the system and have been in charge ever since. In the USA R.R. Bowker is the agent and the whole scheme is coordinated internationally by the International ISBN Agency in Berlin.
Q. And how do you get one
A. Anyone who publishes a book is eligible to apply for an ISBN - and, in these days of electronic ordering and stock-control systems you'd be a fool not to. There is a one-off processing fee for being allocated a publisher code and a list of ISBNs for your exclusive use. However, once you have the list you allocate a number to a given publication yourself and then inform the relevant ISBN agency who will then list it on their forthcoming titles list for free. After publication a record will be kept until the book goes out of print, after which time it will be listed as such. So, once the number is allocated it's out there for ever and must not be reused for a different title or format.
Q. And are they only used on books
A. No. Audiobooks, video cassettes, e-books, laserdiscs and DVDs can all take them.
Q. How is an ISBN different from an SBN
A. An SBN is an ISBN without the 'international'. In the early days of the system, up to about 1970 - so before its adoption internationally - British books would have 9 digits, thus missing off the initial 0 that denotes its language area.
Q. So what's an ISSN
A. ISSNs - International Standard Serial Numbers - are used for series or part works. Thus a series of magazines or books will take an ISSN; however, if one individual title is to be identified within the series, then an ISBN should also be allocated to each part of the series.
Recently a system of ISMNs - International Standard Music Numbers - has been brought in for sheet music.
See, it is interesting.

Predictions from 1900—Ladies Home Journal
This list seems a hoax to me. A few of them read like a 21st century person trying to write like an early 20th century person. Especially this one:
He will live fifty years instead of thirty-five as at present.
Thirty-five seems like extreme low-balling.

When MLB released its 2014 schedule and we saw the Texas Rangers were opening the season at home against the Philadelphia Phillies, a few things crossed our minds.
First of all, it would've been cool to have Michael Young return for Opening Day to get a big ol' ovation, but of course, he was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers from the Phillies and is now contemplating retirement.
Second, well, it's pretty obvious we could have an epic pitching matchup between Yu Darvish and Cliff Lee, and now at least one of those guys is set in stone to pitch the game.
Ron Washington announced Darvish would be the fifth different Opening Day starter in the past five years, following Scott Feldman, C.J. Wilson, Colby Lewis and Matt Harrison — the past of which suffered season-ending injuries the year they opened things up.
We'll hope that doesn't happen this time around, but a Darvish-Lee pitching matchup would be special on many fronts. Lee was the Rangers' savior in 2010 when he was acquired and put the Rangers over the hump en route to not only winning their first playoff series, but also advancing to the first World Series in club history behind Lee's left arm.
Now, Darvish is coming off a season which saw him finish second in the AL Cy Young voting and is seen as a true, bona fide ace in the league, right up there with Lee.

Investment and Demand Uncertainty
Theoretical models of investment under uncertainty predict that the sign and the strength of the investment-uncertainty relationship is in principle ambiguous and can vary greatly across groups of firms depending on the degree of irreversibility of investment and the market power of the firm. This paper investigates the effects of uncertainty on the investment decisions of a sample of Italian manufacturing firms, using information on the subjective probability distribution of future demand for firms' products according to entrepreneurs. The results support the view that uncertainty slows down capital accumulation. Consistent with the predictions of the theory, there is considerable heterogeneity in the effect of uncertainty on investment: it is stronger for firms that cannot easily reverse investment decisions and for those with substantial market power. We show that the negative effect of uncertainty on investment cannot be explained by uncertainty proxying for liquidity constraints, credit rationing being more likely among riskier firms. Evidence of a negative effect of past uncertainty on hours currently worked reinforces the conclusion of a negative relationship between uncertainty and investment.

Beginning August 1, Ibanez will work with Saccone to oversee the network's programming strategy and content acquisitions. She will be based in Los Angeles.
Ibanez is a longtime executive in Hispanic and Spanish-language television. She joins MundoFox after nine years at Telemundo Media, where most recently she spent nearly three years as executive vice president of programming. Ibanez helped introduced more original scripted content to Telemundo's lineup and scheduled the five highest-rated telenovelas in the network's history, including "La Reina del Sur," "Donde esta Elisa?," "Sin senos no hay Paraiso,"" and "El Cartel." Under her leadership, Telemundo was recognized as the fastest growing Spanish-language broadcast network in total day and prime time performance.
"Securing the services of a proven executive like Adriana is a huge 'get' for MundoFox," Saccone said in a statement. "Her excellent track record of discovering and bringing innovative and audience-pleasing programming to market will prove invaluable to our future success. We are delighted to have her join our expanding team as we move full speed towards launch."
MundoFox is scheduled to launch Monday, August 13, and intends to be available in at least 75 percent of Hispanic households in the U.S. at that time.
Ibanez is originally from Barranquilla, Colombia. She earned a degree in business management at the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Bogota. Before joining Telemundo, Ibanez was vice president of programming for Canal Caracol in Colombia, where she was part of the team that launched Caracol as one of the two original private networks in that country. She joined Telemundo as the senior vice president of scheduling and strategy in June 2003, and was promoted to senior vice president of programming in 2006. Ibanez had been executive vice president of programming for Telemundo since October 2009.

Last Thursday, a wildfire started in California's Angeles National Forest, north of Los Angeles, near a hydroelectric plant called as Powerhouse No. 1. The Powerhouse fire was pushed by erratic dry winds, destroying at least six homes near Lake Hughes, damaging many more, and leading to the evacuation of several thousand residents. Cooler weather has now allowed the firefighters to reach 60% containment of the fire, and some residents were allowed to return home.

The International Monetary Fund has come out in support of a Palestinian plan for economic reform and recovery that would require about $5.6 billion in foreign aid over three years.
The Palestinian proposal is ''ambitious, but also achievable,'' the IMF wrote in a report obtained ahead of next week's meeting of donor countries in Paris where the Palestinians will formally request the money.
The IMF's support, including praise for the Palestinian government's ''prudent fiscal policy,'' could go a long way toward persuading donors to pledge more money. The aid request-unprecedented at nearly twice the annual level - also comes at a time of renewed hopes for Mideast peace, after seven years of fighting.
The Palestinian economy was hit hard by seven years of Israeli-Palestinian conflict as well as internal Palestinian strife and Israeli restrictions on travel and trade. About three-quarters of households in Gaza and 56% in the West Bank live in poverty.
Efforts to revive the Palestinian economy and build the institutions of a future state are to run parallel to the negotiations. As part of its presentation to the donors, the Palestinian government in the West Bank has prepared a three-year plan of economic reform and good governance.
Under the Palestinian development plan, the international community would be asked to provide about $5.6 million over three years, Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad said after a meeting with EU foreign ministers in Brussels Monday. Of the sum, about 70 percent would go for budget support and the rest to development programs.
In exchange for requesting such large sums, the government promises to cut spending, mainly by keeping a lid on the bloated public payroll and cutting hundreds of millions of dollars in electricity and fuel subsidies.
Commenting on the plan, the IMF report said that the ''contemplated fiscal adjustment is ambitious, but also achievable.''
The report said the Palestinians, Israel and the donors will have to cooperate closely. The IMF said going forward poses some risks for all three, but that failure to do so would push the Palestinian economy into a further downward spiral.
In Brussels, EU External Relations Commissioner Benita Ferrero-Waldner said in a joint news conference with Fayyad that the EU, which gave $1.4 billion to the Palestinians in 2007, would remain generous.
But she stressed that the EU wants to ''see burden-sharing from many, many other countries,'' including Arab states. In a reference to Israel, she also said that ''more, much more needs to be done to improve the possibilities of movement and access in the Palestinian territories.''

I'm trying to get DCLED working, which is a small USB connected LED display - https://github.com/kost/dcled
This chap did it - http://through-the-interface.typepad.co ... art-4.html
but the instructions are incomplete for those without all the right dependencies.
I've compiled the dcled stuff just fine, but I've just had so much trouble trying to get one of it's dependencies, LibHid compiled and working it's borderline ridiculous.
LibHid isn't available as an apt-get thing, so I got hold of the sources from libhid.alioth.debian.org.
I'm using a recent (october I think) image of Raspbian from this very site.
Upon compilation I came across a lot of dependency issues, and made sure I have LibUsb and LibUsb-Dev along with it of various versions.
./configure seemed to work without issue, but this is what I see during make -

With the third issue of Everything Dies being officially released only days ago, we invited writer/ artist Box Brown to answer some questions regarding the series. A serialised look at the world's religions traditions, stories and myths, it's definitely one of the most unique small press comics in production at the moment, and approaches its subjects with an objectivity that equally mystifies and demystifies them, all the while retaining its creator's understated humour.
Read on for Brown's thoughts on his upcoming stories, the subtle influence of Peanuts within the comics, Kickstarter, the Xeric Foundation, his involvement in Philadelphia-based newsprint anthology Secret Prison, and an anecdote on the Christ-like potential of Bruce Springsteen.
Congratulations on the release of the new issue. How did the launch party for the book go?
The launch party was great! It's really nice to have a local accomodating comic shop. Both of the stores I've had parties at here in Philly: Brave New Worlds and Locust Moon Comics have been awesome and the crowds (I use that term loosely) have been really great. It's pretty awesome meeting readers.
What was the inspiration behind creating a comic-book study of religion?
A bunch of different things really. I've been interested in religion for a long time. I went to Catholic school when I was a very little kid and my grandparents are UBER religious so it's been kind of ever present most of my life. At some point, it occurred to me that it was ironic that right-wing Christian groups say that Muslim beliefs are bogus or that Scientologists' beliefs are bogus. And, once I really starting getting into researching the religions, I found it was a never ending rabbit hole that I am still stuck in.
Independent or 'alternative' comics have a long history of religious satire. Everything Dies is against the grain in this respect, as it seems to treat its content with objectivity and respect. How important was this to you when planning the series?
With Everything Dies I'm trying to depict all of these different religious beliefs truthfully and on an even playing field and allow the reader to draw their own conclusions on the subject. I make no bones about the fact that I'm an Atheist but I truly don't wish to disparage religion but allow each religion to stand upon its own weight. I am of the mind that it's unnecessary to skewer religion when the facts are enough to sway the people you would have swayed either way.
Containing simplified cartoon re-tellings of many religious stories and beliefs, a great deal of research must go into every issue. Do you have a particular favourite story or fact you've learnt whilst writing the series?
Christ of the Ozarks". It's one of the largest statues of Jesus in the US and it was commissioned by a guy named Gerald L.K. Smith. Now, this guy Smith was one of the biggest scum bags in American history! He was a racist, nazi sympathizer and one of the first New World Order conspiracy theorists in the world! Also, the guy he commissioned to do the statue was famous for designing Dinosaur statues.
Similar, if only in terms of the way it aims to illustrate biblical passages, we were curious to see if you've read R. Crumb's Genesis. Was it an inspiration or influence when writing the comic?
Yes, Genesis did have some influence. I've actually not read the whole thing and probably never will. Oh sure I own it and I love it and look at it all the time, but even with R. Crumb's art, the Bible is boring as hell. But, he hit the nail on the head by depicting it factually. I know that Christian groups STILL hate the book, but they have no grounds for it. Whereas if he took any artistic or literary liberties they would have an argument.
Some of our favourite pieces in Everything Dies come from the philosophical parables within the "Heart of Stonework" sections, which have appeared in every issue so far. What can you tell us about the inspiration and purpose of these characters?
I started doing HOS in a comics class that I took at the School of Visual Arts in New York with instructor Tom Hart in 2007. It started as a strip comic in the vein of Peanuts. Originally, I would just depict actual Buddhist koans, but it has since morphed into its own world that I'm not sure actually exists. When I was coming up with the original concept for Everything Dies I was also being courted by The Times of India who had found some of those old strips online and wanted to run them. That, of course, didn't work out but it got me to revisit those old strips and I thought they'd be a perfect fit. Though, I think they're the most confusing at times too. Especially since they really don't follow true Buddhism but a weird mix of Buddhist philosophy and my own. Further, they don't exist in a legitimate time period or setting, I just make stuff up. But, look out for Issue 5 in winter 2011 it's a full issue of a 32 page "Heart of Stonework" story.
Everything Dies was initially financed by donations via Kickstarter, which has become something of a hot topic over the last few days following Johanna Draper Carlson's criticism of the site. As a creator who has had success using the service, what's your take on the issue?
She seems to have softened on Kickstarter and recently wrote an addendum to that article but I see her point Kickstarter IS a tool. It's imperfect but in some cases, for some people it works. And in this business a creator has to take every advantage he can. It worked out for me. It funded issues one and two, and brought in a lot of subscribers. Kickstarter seems to be an exercise not only in fundraising but in marketing as well. Both are skills that any cartoonist (who is looking to turn cartooning into a career) would find invaluable. As independent creators, we're also our own marketing team (as well as a number of other jobs), and it's difficult to begrudge anyone taking advantage of anything and everything available to them.
Do you think that sites like Kickstarter can provide a new financial model for independent comics?
It seems to me that, generally speaking, the model is pretty much the same as the "Pre-order" model that many webcomics have been using for years. I'm not sure how much life the Kickstarter model has left in it. I mean, for sure, I hope that it becomes and stays robust, but I feel like it's a bit flooded with projects right now. But surely, Kickstarter has its place in the world of comics.
Speaking of Kickstarter, you're contributing to Philadelphia-based comics tabloid Secret Prison #2, which is currently appealing for funding there. What can readers expect to find in the second issue?
The second issue is FUCKING BAD-ASS! (can I say that?). Benjamin Marra, the featured artist is a superstar. This video is proof. Also there are some awesome international artists involved as well, Simon Gärdenfors (120 Days of Simon) and Luke Pearson (cover artist for Solipsistic Pop II) and others. It's basically half Philly artists and half other artists. These anthology newspapers have come into fashion lately and I love 'em. I hope they continue to grow. It would be awesome to have these types of papers in comic shops everywhere.
We hear that you're exhibiting at the Philly Alt Comic Con. What will you be offering at the event?
I'm psyched about this event. It's our second annual. Last year was really fun and even Charles Burns showed up with free mini-comics! So this year I've got all three issues of Everything Dies and some other comics of mine, but also I am doing the covers for a little limited edition anthology of PACC artists that's being made for the show by the boss, Pat Aulisio.
You earnt a Xeric grant for Love is a Peculiar Type of Thing in November 2008. Please tell us about your experience as a Xeric recipient. What is your advice for creators looking for financial assistance from the foundation?
The Xeric Foundation is fantastic. I always encourage people to do it. My advice is always to fill out your forms completely. The competition is always fierce and a mistake on a form is an easy way to eliminate your proposal. Also: you should keep submitting until you get it. Xeric is great. They're really easy to work with and the name alone is enough to open some doors for you. The review requests alone are worth it. Love is a Peculiar Type of Thing was reviewed on Ain't it Cool News as well as a ton of other places.
Finally, the title of Everything Dies is named after a lyric from Bruce Springsteen's Atlantic City. Have you sent a copy of the book to "The Boss" himself?
Ha! No, I haven't. I should. I love Bruce Springsteen, he's the patron saint of New Jersey. Growing up in NJ he really is a God. It's funny a few years back my Grandpa wrote a book of short prayer annecdotes. In one of them he discusses his theory that if Jesus did come back he would be a man like Bruce Springsteen. He'd be a working man of the people and when you saw him and heard him speak it would be wonderful and people dance and be filled with joy. I love that.
A thank you of religious proportions go to Box for taking part in this interview with us. Everything Dies #3 is available now for $5 online, along with all previous issues. We defy anyone to not want a comic that features bigfoot, Mormon underwear and a existential analogy involving Super Mario. In fact, you should use that as the pitch when you go and bully your local comic shop into buying some wholesale.
Oh, and Mr Springsteen, if you're reading this, buy one for heaven's sake.

Discussion in 'Android Devices' started by 5hZJ, Oct 2, 2010.
Froyo 2.2 is available for the LG GW620 Eve It works well. Check it out at OpenEtna Cheers, 5hZJ
BTW, I should mention that it runs faster than 1.5 or 1.6. Also, it is still beta.
Tried this one out, recommend waiting til they get a few more releases in to Froyo, this version v6.0-rc4 seems to be a bit too sluggish compared to the v4.5-rc1 that they released. Also I noticed my phone was very very warm running this build compared to the 2.1 release, will wait and see how it turns out.
hello can you upload a video demo to youtube with the new version 6.0rc4, to see how it works!!
It looks like some videos were already uploaded over on the openetna site. And a new rc was released, will give that a try tonight, will let you know how it goes this time.
my wife and i have been running 6.0 rc5 for a couple days and so far it's been more stable and more functional than the 2.1 releases, we're really enjoying it!
Well gave froyo a bit more time this time round. It seems ok, but I am still a little concered about the heat of my phone while it is running. Will play with it a few more days before I make a decision on it.
Ok so I got it, found it ok. Lost my contacts but now I wanna go back to 1.5; recover it back to the way it was before i made that change. Anyone know how?
Don't suppose you made a back up copy via NANDROID of your original img?
If not you may need to find someone who does have it and ask of them.
Why do you want to go back? Is there something specific you needed from that img?
It was my first time doing this and no I did not. And I was pissed I lost all of my contacts, I guess that's why I waned to go back but I changed my mind.
It is a little sluggish sometimes. The battery life is longer; it's not hot or anything. I do want to know a way to maximize it's performance.
But I do want the alarm clock, calculator, and the market apk, etc.
Actually I found most of the programs.. I gotta further look into the this rom.
Actually I'm trying to get the Market.apk, youtube.apk, fm radio, and other apps that could work on the froyo. Anyone know why Dolphin HD does not have flash or there is a way to dd it on the browser?
And question about the camera, are they gonna fix that bug. Because I don't like how as soon as I take a picture the screen goes all static and pink
Any new feedback on this last release 6.0 rc5??
I want to upgrade bu Im worried on losing any feature.
Is the camera working fine? The flash, all the fancy camera features that comes originally with the phone?
FM Radio?
Appriciate ur feedback.
Any new feedback on this last release 6.0 rc5??
I want to upgrade bu Im worried on losing any feature.
Is the camera working fine? The flash, all the fancy camera features that comes originally with the phone?
FM Radio?
Appriciate ur feedback.
I'm running 6.0 and have nothing really all that bad to report. Everything's still beta so there are a few non-functional features. The GPS works, the camera does too but it behaves awfully strangely. I have no idea if the FM radio works as I've never had use for that feature. The only features that I really miss are bluetooth (which I'm sure is coming) and the spell checker (which I'm told is a matter of taking a few files from the standard GW620 software and transplanting them).
Apart from all that 2.2 is wonderful. I'm getting improved battery life 70% remaining after 25 hours off the charger. The phone also works a little more smoothly and the Froyo interface is a lot nicer to use than what LG originally gave you. The integrated task manager and the toggle widget alone make Froyo a must have for me - oh, can't forget the numeric battery meter. These three features have replaced every widget I ever used on 1.5 which I'm sure is a contributing factor to my improved battery life. The voice features are also surprisingly useful. So long as you can enunciate everything clearly it really does pick up and put down everything you're saying.
I feel I should also note that this was my first attempt at doing anything to my phone. Prior to the 2.2 update I hadn't even hooked my phone up to my computer. The installation instructions on OpenEtna are a little fuzzy for the first time user but, really, spend a little bit of time getting acquainted before you hook up your phone and you shouldn't have any worries.
PS. My average daily use includes Facebook, Gmail and several dozen texts.
where dd you get the fm radio app?
I was saying that I don't know if the FM apps work. I haven't ever tried them.
Just a little progress report on battery life. I pulled my phone off the charger on Sunday night around 11-12:00. It's now Thursday at 1:20 and I'm down to 8%. That's three days regular use out of one charge. Prior to Froyo I was getting a day and a half max.
The Eve was a good phone before 2.2, now it's great
I was a bit afraid to "break" my phone by installing the unofficial Froyo from OpenEtna but I am really satisfied with it (great job). I just couldn't wait more for a non-confirmed official update from Rogers or LG.
And for the FM radio, I would be quite happy to test it, but the software is not provided with the img. If someone could provide me the .apk file for the FM radio of LG Eve I would be quite happy to test it and give you an answer.
In the meantime, I still have my old Sandisk e200 for the FM radio. It does the job !
Did the update
somethings kinda wierd still. caller id doesnt work...it just says payphone.
battery life seems to be worse...any answers for these?!?
caller id is a must!
otherwise the update is running great
I'm just wondering why all the sudden it saved my contact but it won't even show when I'm searching for that particular contact. Anyway to solve this problem?
You had this problem after installing Froyo 2.2 ? As you might have read here, it is beta software. Don't expect everything to work well.
I am not a developer for OpenEtna, only a user that appreciate the efforts made by the community to deliver an update that I will probably never see from Rogers. I am really disappointed by Rogers on this but I decided to take the time to read and understand the procedure before and to do it myself and I have no regrets. Even a 2.2 with a few bugs is much better and seems more responsive than the old 1.5 provided by Rogers and LG.
This forum is really interesting for LG Eve in general, but if your question is more related to the OpenEtna unofficial firmware, I suggest you subscribe to the OpenEtna forum at OpenEtna Forum - Index . It is also possible to submit an issue at Issues - openetna - Project Hosting on Google Code but I suggest you start by doing a search on the forum first.
Yeah it had happened recently and it saves some of my contacts. But I'm going to check the forum
Anyone tried the OpenEtna 6.1-rc1
I'm on 6.1 right now. Seems to work fine apart from the bluetooth and possible battery issue.

(Tell me if I'm wrong.) Does anyone have a pair they want to sell or know where I can get them cheap (like $50-60)? As far as I know, TW has everything at the lowest retail prices anywhere. Also what are some comparisons/contrasts between the Barricade II's and III's? Which is better?

OUSTED contestant Cam Cranley said he never had a chance with Bachelorette Georgia Love.
Eliminated from the reality dating show tonight, the West Australian firefighter dismissed suggestions he was one of the favourites to win the series.
"In the house I was sitting there looking at guys like Lee, Matty J and Courtney and thinking, 'Yep, I'm just here to make up the numbers'," Cranley told Confidential.
"I never thought I was a favourite at any stage at all."
Cranley's departure leaves four men — Matty J, Courtney, Lee and Jake — vying for Love's affections ahead of next week's final episode.
The 26-year-old is now back to living a normal life, with some extra attention he's still getting used to.
"I'll go to a (firefighting) job and have to get a selfie with the people on the way out," he laughed.
Of Love, he added: "I did really like Georgia and I know that she did like me too, but the guys that are left are the cream of the crop."

The bank is authorised to offer up to R1bn in non-cumulative, non-redeemable and non-participating preference shares.
The preference shares will only be listed on the JSE Securities
Investec CEO Stephen Koseff said the shares will yield a semi-annual dividend of 75% of Investec Bank Limited's prime overdraft rate, which is currently 15.5%.
"Currently, using a maximum individual marginal tax rate of 40%, this is equivalent to a pre-tax annual yield of 19.38%," he explained.
The term 'non-redeemable', said Koseff, meant that the preference shares will not be redeemed at any date in the future and they will remain in issue unless there is a winding up of Investec Bank.
"This differs from bonds and certain other preference shares that are redeemed at some agreed date in the future," he explained.
"'Non-cumulative' means that should Investec Bank not declare a
preference dividend, the dividend does not carry over to the next dividend period.
"If declared, dividends will be paid out semi-annually at least one week prior to the Investec Limited ordinary dividend payment, and in any event no later than 120 days after 31 March and 30 September each year.
"The preference shareholders do, however, have preferential access to income distribution before ordinary shareholders," he confirmed.
'Non-participating' meant that the preference shareholders' dividend is limited to 75% of Investec Bank's prime overdraft rate on the deemed face value of R100 per preference share, irrespective of the profitability of Investec
"Investec is responding to strong demand by investors for a low-risk, high yielding, tax efficient, inflation-beating investment vehicle with this issue," said Koseff.
He confirmed that the Registrar of Banks had given his approval for the proceeds from the issue of these shares to qualify as "primary capital" in terms of the Banks Act.
"Investec management believe that this issue will reduce the Bank's cost of capital and further strengthen the financial position of the group," he concluded.

HOUSTON -- Olympic gymnast Dominique Moceanu was declared an adult Wednesday in a settlement giving her financial independence from her parents.
The 17-year-old high school senior, a gold medalist at the 1996 Atlanta Games, has been trying to find out where all her earnings have gone. She claims her father squandered the money.
Her parents, Dumitru and Camelia Moceanu, changed their minds and chose not to challenge their daughter's bid to become a legal adult. State District Judge John Montgomery approved the arrangement.
Jimmy Phillips Jr., a lawyer for the gymnast's parents, declined to comment on their actions.
Moceanu ran away from home more than a week ago and filed a request to be declared an adult.
She said earnings in her trust fund bankrolled unauthorized risky investments and a $4 million gym bearing her name. Her lawyers believe the trust is structured so she won't obtain control over the assets until she turns 35, lawyer Roy Moore said.
As a legal adult, the gymnast can begin to demand information about the trust, including records of expenditures. It's unclear how much money, if any, remains in the trust.
Her parents withdrew their opposition to their daughter's request on Tuesday after meeting with her in a deposition.
''The parties have met amongst themselves and as a family unit have resolved their differences,'' the family said in a statement Tuesday.
Last week, Moceanu's parents asked a judge to dismiss their daughter's lawsuit and a temporary restraining order she obtained against them. Under the settlement, all restraining orders have been removed.
Moceanu ran away Oct. 18, a day after her father threatened to have her coach deported to Romania. She said her flight was the result of months of arguments sparked by questions about her earnings.
''I want whatever I have earned to be under my control so I know how my earnings are being used, and I want to be able to train and compete in the sport I love for the right reason -- because I love it, not because my father tells me I have to make more money,'' she said last week.
Her parents said in court documents their daughter's coaches and a friend had convinced her to run away.
But the gymnast insisted no one influenced her, saying she simply wanted answers about how the money she earned in her seven-year career was being spent.
Coincidentally, the court handling Moceanu's case is the same one that took an identical request from then underaged gymnast Mary Lou Retton.
In 1985, the then 17-year-old Retton asked the same 309th District Court to declare her an adult so she could invest earnings following her 1984 Olympic gold-medal performance.
Retton's parents, Lois and Ronnie Retton, never opposed their daughter's request and it was granted without question four days after the petition was filed.

A case of the foreign mosquito-spreading Zika virus — thought to cause smaller heads in newborn babies — is now confirmed in Alberta.
The virus causes flu-like symptoms but carries an additional risk to pregnant women as a Brazilian investigation launched in Nov. 2015 initially found an "average twenty-fold increase in the incidence of microcephaly (abnormally small head) among newborns" born in areas where Zika virus has been found. The investigation is ongoing to determine if Zika virus is indeed linked to microcephaly.
Zika virus, transmitted to humans by infected mosquitoes, causes mild fever and rash with symptoms lasting for a few days. While the disease is typically mild, there is no cure and treatment.
Alberta Health confirmed a new case in January 2016, the province's second following a 2013 case involving a patient with a "history of travel to Thailand."
"Both cases were acquired by travel and do not post any risk to public health in Alberta," reads a notice from Alberta Health.
"There is no risk to Albertans who are in the province. The mosquitoes that transmit Zika virus do not live in Canada due to the climate. Human to human transmission of Zika virus is rare."
Two cases of Zika virus have also been reported in B.C., said the B.C. Centre for Disease control, bringing the total number of Canadian cases to three.
Widespread outbreaks were reported in Brazil and Colombia in 2015 with cases also discovered in Chile, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico,
Paraguay, Suriname, and Venezuela. The virus was fist discovered in humans in 1954.
Zika Virus Facts:
•In 2015, Zika virus emerged in South America with widespread outbreaks reported in Brazil and Colombia. As of Jan. 5, 2016, locally acquired cases have been reported in Brazil, Chile (Easter Island), Colombia, El Salvador, French Guyana, Guatemala, Honduras, Martinique, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, Suriname and Venezuela.
•In November 2015, a Brazilian investigation indicated an average 20-fold increase in the incidence of microcephaly (abnormally small head) among newborns born in areas where Zika virus was known to be in circulation. Although there is mounting evidence to warrant concern, the investigation is ongoing to confirm whether Zika virus may be the cause of these microcephaly cases.
•Zika virus is transmitted to humans by infected mosquitoes. The disease is usually mild, with symptoms lasting between two and 7 days.
•Only one in four people infected with Zika virus are believed to develop symptoms. These include: low-grade fever, joint pain, red eyes, rash and generalized symptoms such as muscle pain, physical weakness, lack of energy and headaches.
• There is no cure for Zika virus disease. Treatment is focused on relieving the symptoms.
•Most people recover fully without severe complications, and hospitalization rates are low. Zika virus infection may go unrecognized or be misdiagnosed as dengue, chikungunya or other viral infections causing fever and rash.
•It was first isolated from a rhesus monkey in Zika forest, Uganda, in 1947; in mosquitoes (Aedes africanus) in the same forest in 1948; and in humans in Nigeria in 1954. It has been reported in Africa and parts of Asia since the 1950s, and in the South Pacific in 2007.

Donny & Marie was a variety show which aired on ABC
from 1976 to 1979. It starred brother and sister pop duo Donny and Marie
Osmond. The former had first become popular singing in a music group with
his brothers (The Osmonds), and his sister was one of the youngest singers
to place #1 on the Billboard Country Music charts (for "Paper
Roses" in 1973).
Like most variety shows of its time, it consisted of many comedic
skits, followed by songs performed by the duo. The most famous song
performed on the show was "I'm a Little Bit Country," in which
Marie was a "little bit country" while Donny was a "little
bit rock-n-roll."
Originally, the show was created by Sid & Marty Krofft and was
videotaped in Los Angeles, but creative control of the show was given to
the Osmonds after a long battle, and Donny & Marie was moved to
the Osmonds' own production center in Provo, Utah in 1978.

What had previously been a somewhat unknown proteam, has gone from unknown to renowned in two short seasons. The Flow Team consisting of Antti Autti, Risto Matilla, Scotty Lago, Miikka Hast, Halvor Lunn, Tuomo Ojala, Ryan Paris, Chris Taylor, and Emily Akerblom has made major strides in the past two years, toward international recognition. From the looks of things, they're becoming a force to be reckoned with. It started last year with Antti Autti winning five FIS world cup halfpipe events, then Risto Matilla won the World Cup halfpipe overall and took third in the Arctic Challenge halfpipe, and Scotty Lago gained the title of World Quarterpipe Champion. These wins were not enough to put the guys on the map. That came this season, when Antti stepped up to the start of the halfpipe at the X-Games and threw down two consecutive 1080's, beating legendary greats like Shaun White, Danny Kass, and Andy Finch, to become the X Games Halfpipe Champion. Not only did Antti win the event, he set a new standard for halfpipe competitors- the 1080. Now, to be in the top 3 in halfpipe events, 1080's are not only a suggestion, they're a requirement. Just prior to his win at the X-Games Antti swept the World championships by winning double gold in The Halfpipe and Big Air.
Risto Mattila followed Antti's X Games victory with a victory of his own, this time at the US Open slopestyle at Stratton, VT. Risto's winning run included a switch backside 7, Cab 9, frontside 9, Cab 5 and a frontside boardslide on the flat ledge. Not only did he win the Slopestyle event, he also won the Volvo Best Performance Award that is awarded to the athlete who performs best overall, the winnings being a brand new Volvo V50 Sports Wagon. Scotty Lago also made an appearance at the US Open Halfpipe. Although he didn't make the finals, his name and face made the news where he was dubbed the "Super Poacher. Scotty poached runs that were rumored to be "better than the competitors. Scotty also backed this up with a 4th place in the Slopestyle event.
Other Antti and Risto results include:
The Arctic Challenge: Big Air: Antti Autti 1st, Risto Mattila 3rd
FIS Pre-Olympics: 1st Halfpipe: Antti Autti 1st Risto Mattila 2nd
2nd Halfpipe: Risto Matilla 1st Antti Autti 2nd
Nippon Open: Halfpipe: Antti Autti 2nd Risto Mattila 3rd
Team Flow reared its head at the legendary contest, The Battle. Flow riders Miikka Hast and Tuomo Ojala along with Markku Koski made up the Finnish team and held off the home country of Sweden to win the contest. The Battle, of which Flow was a major sponsor, is considered one of the biggest and most progressive events in the world of snowboarding.
With the Team's winning streak, the individual members of the team are starting make names for themselves. At this time last year, the name Antti Autti would bring a faint hint of recognition to the snowboarder's mind, today Antti receives his share of accolades across the board from TransWorld subscribers to weekend warriors. As a result of the season, the Flow brand was also catapulted into the limelight, what was once thought to be only a convenience product gained major validity as a product that was not only convenient, but offered top level performance as well. Keep watching the news for updates on the team, we have a feeling this is just the start of things to come!
Flow has been producing innovative snowboard products since 1995. As the originator of the reclining high-back binding, Flow introduced to the world a new wave of binding technology. Viewed as revolutionary, competitors have tried to imitate the reclining high-back, although none have seen the same success. Over the past nine years, Flow has become known for ease of use, comfort, and advanced control gained when using their bindings. Most recently, Flow has introduced "Triple Threat Technology, a system of boots, boards, and bindings designed to heighten performance and control when used together. The obvious success off Triple Threat is evidenced by the continued excellence of the team.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for EDGE Youth Leadership (formerly NCYLS), San Leandro, CA, USA
NCYLS taught me the meaning of passion and positive growth. Having had the opportunity to attend as a sophomore in 2012, I can say that this seminar really put me into perspective to stop and think about what it is that motivates me, and what I can do to strive for more. Throughout this incredible weekend, I saw many sophomores from all over Northern California transform from shy, fearful individuals to enthusiastic, confident, and compassionate leaders. I was not only surrounded by positive energy all weekend long, but I was also greatly encouraged to believe in myself. I cannot wait to continue my involvement with NCYLS, and I truly believe that this seminar will give anyone who attends the inspiration to make an impact on the world.

Browning Maxus All Purpose
If one was looking for a single 12ga shotgun to meet the needs of mainly turkey hunting, but also be readily available for upland birds, duck, geese etc. and the occasional round of trap/skeet/sporting clays would the Browning Maxus All Purpose be the right choice? Any others that should be considered?
Currently I have an 870 Express setup for turkey. It gets the job done, but I just don't love the shotgun for some reason. I was looking at the Maxus to suit all my hunting needs etc and possibly turning the 870 into more of a home defense shotgun since it already has shorter barrel on it.
What say you?

Typically, an all purpose gun is master of none. If you're serious about wanting a "do everything" gun, consider one with several barrels and an adjustable stock.

I just purchased a Maxus. I'm impressed. It shoots everything and has many chokes to choose from. JUST my two cents. Benelli make some great ones too.

If you have shot the Maxus and like it then that is the gun for you. After researching semi-autos for over a year I purchased a Maxus and really like it.

Unless youre shooting competitively its should be a fine all around gun. I shoot a Beretta 391 for occasional registered trap, skeet and sporting clays. Inever had a problem holding my own with it. I have a dedicated trap gun, but its not a favorite.

I have a Browning Maxus. I shoot ducks with it. Took it out for doves. I even take it to the trap and skeet fields. Not one complaint about it at all.

Since you don't want to shoot competitively ...most any well made semi-auto will be fine ...and I would look at the complete line of guns from Beretta, Browning and Winchester - for gas guns ....and Benelli for Inertia operated guns.
Nothing wrong mechanically with the Maxus ...but nothing wrong with the Browning Silver series - or the Win SX series either ...(Browning / Winchester are the same company now for the last 4 or 5 years - and both owned by FN / although Browing seems to be running the shotgun divisions) ...or any of the gas guns from Beretta ( and I think they have about 25 models ).
Buying a shotgun is about "Fit" - so it hits where you look. You have to figure out what stock dimensions Fit you / length of pull, drop at comb, drop at heel ....and does the gun come with shims so you can adjust the stock to receiver angles. Adjustability is a big deal.... I encourage you to pick a gun that has stock shims / and exclude the ones that don't.
Since you want to hunt - you have to decide if a 3 1/2" chamber is important to you or not. For most of us - a 3" chamber is plenty ...and all of the guns offering a 3 1/2" will be more money.
The Inertia guns will give you more recoil than a gas gun ...but they shoot a lot cleaner ...so its a trade-off.

Thanks for all the good advice! Less recoil is one of the reasons I am looking. And having said that, after shooting 3" turkey loads out of my 870, I do not ever plan to shoot a 3 1/2" shell

I think that's a smart approach ...
You have lots of choices withing Browning / Winchester or Beretta on gas guns. If you decide you like the Benelli - some of their guns ( synthetic stocks only ) come with a recoil supression system called Comfort Tech ...and I have one in the Benelli Super Sport model - both a 12ga and a 20ga ...and I like them a lot. The Benelli - with a Comfort Tech system in it ...is about the same recoil for any given shell - as a gas gun. The downside on the Benelli - is they are more money - than most of your other options on the gas gun side.
But at least look at them - as you make your choice ...
Remember the lighter the gross weight of the gun - the more recoil you are going to get for a given shell. An increase in 1 lb of gross weight ...will reduce recoil between 15 and 20% ...so light guns might beat you up.../ but they're lighter to carry in the field ...so like everything, its a trade off... and the Benelli's in general - are very light ...
...and no matter what - be skeptical of what you hear from the other side of the gun counter ...and have some fun with the process !!

If there ever was an all purpose gun, the maxus is it. That gas system is very durable, simple, and reliable with a very wide range of loads. Betcha didn't know it, but the gas system decends from the SX1 and can be made to cycle 3/4oz loads just as well as any sx1. The only thing that I wish could have been done in an all purpose model is; changable ribs, additional wieghts, and something along the lines of an adjustible gel cheek piece.

This is how Cristiano Ronaldo reacted to Borussia Dortmund going 2-0 up v Real Madrid
Cristiano Ronaldo started Real Madrid's second leg against Borussia Dortmund from the bench.
The Portuguese forward was injured and was only due on the pitch in case of emergency.
After all, Real Madrid were leading 3-0 from the first leg and had Angel Di Maria scored an early penalty it would have been an easy net for Carlo Ancelotti's side.
Cue, Roman Weidenfeller saving the spot kick and a brace from Marco Reus by half-time.
Cristiano Ronaldo is not a happy bunny!!!

The winner of the 48th annual Cyclone Relays is - the elements, for now.
The rain that hit Cyclone Stadium didn't last long Friday evening, but it was heavy enough to leave standing water on the track and runways, causing the track meet to be postponed until a later date.
The first heat of the boys 100-meter dash was about to begin when the showers and lightning made their presence felt at approximately 6 p.m., causing the meet to be suspended. It first appeared that the meet would resume at 7 p.m., but that soon changed.
"It was going to be too dark to finish the throwing events," Russellville coach Don Carnahan said. "And it would have taken us about another hour to clear the runways on the jumps in order for them to be safe. It's a call that I don't like to make, but one that had to be done."
Carnahan said he would like to reschedule the remainder of the meet on April 15 if he can and resume where it left off. However, he said he would have to look at the school calendar before making a final decision.
"That's the date when we usually went to Hot Springs," he said. "But Hot Springs isn't having its meet this year, so I am hoping we can use that date in order to get some of the people who normally ran there to come here."
The inclement weather, however, didn't come before Russellville's girls had established themselves in the lead. Through six of the 17 events, the Lady Cyclones had scored 47 points to 30 for second-place Little Rock Parkview, followed by Greenwood with 21, Van Buren with 20 and Cabot with 17.
Russellville struck big in the discus, where Brittany Nelson's winning toss of 115 feet, 5 inches set the stage for a one-three-four finish and giving the Lady Cyclones 20 points. Evelyn Spencer took third by throwing 103-3, followed by Candy Hendrix with her heave of 96-9.
Russellville also struck it big in the 3,200 relay, where the foursome of Stephanie Olson, Anna El-Kilani, Laura Brown and Teddie Bullock turned in a time of 10:30.10 seconds, beating second-place Cabot by more than 26 seconds. Whitney Anderson also claimed top honors in the 100 hurdlers with her time of 15.48 seconds.
Other Lady Cyclones to place included Savannah Langford with third in the pole vault (9-6) and Charity Forrest, who took sixth in the 100 (13.55).
On the boys side, Russellville was in third place through five events with 18 points. Hot Springs led the field by a slim 32-28 margin over Garland County rival Lake Hamilton, while Conway was fourth with 16 points, followed by Fort Smith Southside with 141/3.
The Cyclones failed to win any of the completed events but did claim second on two occasions. Jarod Crenshaw turned in a time of 15.09 seconds on the 110 hurdles, while Russellville's 3,200 relay team - who was running without Travis Feltner - finished second behind Lake Hamilton.
"Travis had a slightly pulled thigh muscle," Carnahan said. "We didn't want to risk having him run and it getting tight so he couldn't run the 800 later. So we used this as an opportunity to use some other runners in hopes of possibly getting more competive down the road."
Russellville's only other scoring came in a new event as Terrance Taylor took fifth in the triple jump (41-2).

A five-minute major and ensuing power play was a game changer for the Flyers on Tuesday night in the back end of their home-and-home engagement against the Washington Capitals.
Two power-play goals saw them turn a 2-2 tie into a two-goal lead during the Flyers' 5-2 victory at Wells Fargo Center that drew Craig Berube's team to within one point of a playoff spot in the Metropolitan Division.
Matt Read's team-high 10th goal at 11:54 of the second period drew the Flyers even at 2-2.
That set up the game's turning point.
The Flyers were awarded a five-minute power play after Tom Wilson's charging call against Brayden Schenn (see 10 observations).
The Flyers scored twice on that lengthy man-advantage with Mark Streit drilling one from the point and then Jakub Voracek potting his second goal of the night for a 4-2 lead.
Prior to all that, the Flyers were sloppy starting that period and paid for it as the Caps scored twice.
First, goalie Steve Mason let a rebound elude his glove hand on the ice for an easy 28th goal by Alex Ovechkin during a power play.
Then, minutes later, after Voracek had made it a 1-1 game, the Flyers' top line came down ice with all eyes on Troy Brouwer going into the corner for a puck.
Three different Flyers failed to realize that Eric Fehr was the trail man while he banged home a bad goal shortside on Mason for a 2-1 Caps lead.
Things would change soon after.
Schenn likely was concussed after being slammed head first into the back boards by Wilson, who accelerated into his second-period hit as Schenn turned toward the boards. Schenn struggled to his feet, then collapsed and had to be assisted off the ice. Wilson drew a five-minute major for the hit (see video).
Watchful eye
Claude Giroux drew a minor penalty when Fehr drilled him in the chin for a roughing call in the first period. The hit also pinned Giroux's right shoulder on the boards, too. The puck was long gone when Giroux got hit. Hence the penalty. Needless to say, any high hit is something to watch for the remainder of the week.
Scott Hartnell had one early and was denied by Caps goalie Braden Holtby. Hartnell felt he was interfered with from behind.
Special teams
Streit drilled one off the right post during the Flyers' only power play in the first period while Holtby got his stick on Giroux's open shot in the right slot. Then the Flyers scored twice off that five-minute major. They were 2 for 5 in the game. The Caps were 1 for 2.
Stone cold
Mason had several outstanding saves from five or six feet in the slot in the opening period on Nick Backstrom and Marcus Johansson, plus a point-shot save on Mike Green two seconds before Backstrom's rebound.
Mason miscue
Mason mishandled a shot from Backstrom during the Caps' carryover power play in the second period and Ovechkin had an easy goal in the paint. Mason's mishandle of a clearing pass led to Ovie's game-tying goal Sunday that sent the game into overtime.
Big glove save
By Mason on John Carlson late in the game.
Watching Ovie
Ovechkin had just two shots through two periods. Sean Couturier's line matched up against him most of the game. Ovie finished with one goal for his lone point of the game.
First point
Chris VandeVelde picked up his first point as a Flyer (fourth overall in NHL) on Streit's power-play goal with an assist.
Two scouts from the Montreal Canadiens were on hand for this game, including assistant general manager Rich Dudley. One scout was from Winnipeg.
Nothing new here. Defensemen Hal Gill and Andrej Meszaros; forward Jay Rosehill. Forward Vinny Lecavalier (back injury) was the only injured scratch.
Adam Hall decisioned Aaron Volpatti, who is a pretty good fighter in the second period. Nick Grossmann and Wilson fought to a draw when Grossmann went after the Caps' winger for his hit on Schenn.

* Prices may differ from that shown
I have been using this product for a number of months now, mainly as I have to transfer files between a PC and a Compact Flash card. Over the time using it I have made a number of observations, both good and bad as a result of using it.
I bought it for £19.99 from the high street and that appeared to be the average price. I think though you're paying largely for the brand name as comparable products are available have not only more slots and compatibility, but are a cheaper price.
Moving on though, if we look at what the product does, it does it extremely well. I've found that sending files back and fore it done at a very fast speed, and is certainly the fastest card reader i've purchased to date. It also has the transfer light on the front, which lets you know when its accessing the card. This is handy for two reasons; firstly, it lets you know it's actually doing something rather than having you just sit there wondering if Windows is making up its mind and secondly it's vitally important incase you pull the card out in the middle of a transfer and damage the card in the process.
It's also plug and play and is instantly recognisable by Windows. I've got several computers that I use to connect this too and not one has had an issue recognising it and the drives appear in the My Computer section of windows and treats it like a normal external drives. In a nutshell, it has no compatibility issues whatsoever.
It also comes with a USB cable which is long in length. If you need this to have to put it neatly positioned somewhere then this allows this to sit neatly away from the device that it's connected to.
I do have some issues with it though, mainly being size. considering that it only reads two types of media, Smart Media and Compact Flash, you'd expect it to be smaller in size. Plus although another advantage is that it's very lightweight, you are mainly carrying air.
This brings me onto another point which is whilst it aesthetically pleasing and looks nice, i'd rather forsake that for something smaller in size. And again this product, as good at it is for doing the job, it wants to look nice at the same time and i'd just rather have something that looks less nice to the eye and just do the job well because if you've bought this, changes are you're looking for something portable and easy to carry.
Finally, taking the size and price into account, you'd expect it to be more compatible with more types of media such as SD, or MMC etc. I'd suggest if you're only going to use these two types of media and not fussed about the size then by all means get this because it's fast and does its job well. But, for the same price, or perhaps even cheaper, you can get something which is more lightweight, has more compatibility and will work just as well. Good, but could be so much more in that empty casing.

Fiber optic amplifier has 10 microsecond response time
Banner Engineering's DF-G2 fiber optic amplifier is designed to achieve a 10-microsecond response time while giving the user control and providing manipulation of all operating parameters. It has an easy-to-read dual digital display and six teach and set methods.
Banner Engineering's DF-G2 fiber optic amplifier is designed to achieve a 10-microsecond response time with 5-microsecond repeatability.
Banner's DF-G2 provides an easy-to-read dual digital display for highly visible signal level and threshold values. Featuring an intuitive interface, the sensor ensures simple set-up and programming through displays and switches and buttons, or via remote input teach wire. The DF-G2 also offers complete user control, providing manipulation of all operating parameters, including switch point threshold, light operate or dark operate, various output timing functions, electronic gain level and sensor response speed.
The six expert Teach and Set methods allows operators to achieve optimal gain and threshold selection for each application—particularly high-speed or low-contrast environments.
The DF-G2 features thermally stable electronics, which help minimize warm-up drift and enable multiple amplifiers to be mounted side-by-side, with no reduction in the ambient temperature limit. Inherent thermal stability is designed to reduce machine start-up time and eliminating production delays due to ambient temperature changes. The cross-talk avoidance algorithm allows two fiber optic assemblies to be mounted in close proximity, sensing different features of the same target.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.
