A K9 Officer who bravely protected his fellow officers during an instense shootout that took the life of his partner, will be recognized nationally for his heroic actions. The German Shepherd Dog named Jynx has since retired, but will be honored as a Hero dog at the Hallmark Hero Dog Awards.
On June 29, 2011, K9 officer Jynx and his partner Berks County Deputy Sheriff K-9 Handler Kyle Pagerly were serving a warrant when Pagerly was fatally wounded during a shootout near Hawk Mountain in Pennsylvania.
Pagerly and Jynx were in a task force of county, state and federal officers that arrived in Berks County's Albany Township to arrest 25-year-old Matthew Connor. Connor had fired shots toward family members and friends two days earlier. When the officers arrived, Connor was lying in ambush up a hill in the woods behind the family's home. He was dressed in full camouflage gear and armed with two knives, two guns and large-capacity magazines.
Jynx was first to detect the hidden shooter and charged up the hill, flushing out the sniper who rose and began firing an AK-47. Deputy Pagerly was shot seconds before Jynx got a bite on the shooter. Jynx not only alerted assisting deputies to the ambush but bought them valuable time during the instense shootout. During the ensuing gunfire, Jynx desperately worked to pull Pagerly out of harm's way, as well as another officer attempting to assist the fatally injured Pagerly. The gunman was killed at the scene and tragically Pagerly later died at hospital from his injuries.
After the incident, Jynx was awarded the Medal of Honor by the department and is credited for saving several law enforcement officers that day.
The German Shepherd retired from the force and now lives in Shillington with Pagerly's wife, Alecia and their baby girl, Savannah. Alecia was just a few weeks pregnant when Kyle Pagerly, 28, was killed.
During ther time together, Jynx and Deputy Sherriff Pagerly performed hundreds of police dog and safety demonstrations throughout the county. Pagerly was a U.S. Army Military Police veteran, who served in Kosovo and Iraq, and was well respected and loved in the community.
Jynx retired after the incident and now lives with Alecia and baby Savannah. Jynx and his family continue to honor Kyle's legacy by making unofficial public appearances and supporting K9s4COPs, an organization that helps police departments afford K9s when they otherwise would not be able to.
For the Berks County community, they already know Jynx is a hero dog, but they are thrilled that he is soon to be honored for his dedication, service and bravery in protecting his fellow officers.

BUSINESS PEOPLE; Chief Executive Quits At Cray Computer
By LAWRENCE M. FISHER
Published: April 17, 1992
The Cray Computer Corporation said yesterday that Neil Davenport had resigned as president, chief executive and a director, and that Seymour R. Cray, the company's founder and chairman, would assume his duties "for the time being."
In February, Cray Computer halted development of the $30 million Cray-3 supercomputer for lack of a buyer for the first machine, raising questions about whether the four-year-old company, which is based in Colorado Springs, would survive.
Mr. Cray left his previous company, Cray Research Inc. of Minneapolis in 1989, when it declined to continue financing development of the Cray-3 and another design, called the C-90. As he was at Cray Research, Mr. Cray is a consultant to Cray Computer, rather than an employee.
Mr. Cray said in a statement that he was sorry to see Mr. Davenport leave. "Neil has made a major contribution to the company," Mr. Cray said. "He will be missed. We thank him and wish him well."
Mr. Davenport said Cray Computer had reached a point where it had the appropriate resources to complete the Cray-3, so he could explore other opportunities with minimum disruption to the company.
But without a buyer for the first Cray-3, it is not clear how the company can proceed. In December, the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, tired of delays, canceled its order for the first Cray-3, which was to use 16 computer processors working in parallel. Unable to find another buyer, Cray Computer said it would proceed with smaller versions using eight or four processors.
Cray Computer has said it will seek a partner to develop smaller versions of the Cray-3, but no such partnership has been announced. Analysts say the list of companies with the resources to participate is very short, and most of those companies have conflicting relationships or foreign ownership.
Analysts also question whether there will be a market for scaled-down versions of the Cray-3, a machine whose aim is to be the biggest, most powerful supercomputer on the planet. And Mr. Cray, who invented the supercomputer in the early 1960's while at the Control Data Corporation, may also stand on the wrong side of a revolution in high-performance computing.
So-called massively parallel processors, which link hundreds of relatively inexpensive computer chips to gain power and speed, are taking the high ground away from Mr. Cray's approach, which is to link small numbers of ever more powerful single processors. Cray Research, I.B.M. and Digital Equipment have programs to use massively parallel technology.

Ford Focus ST revealed
It's got 245bhp, a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-pot, has 20 per cent less emissions than before and is lower, stiffer and - hopefully - better than ever.
The new Focus ST has hit the Paris show floor, and Good News! You can option another colour than the 'Tangerine Scream' pictured above, and we'd say that was the option to go for (actually, it looks pretty good in the metal - Paris-attending Ed).
Read the full story on the new Focus ST
What should be cool though, is the handling. Ford confirms that the new ST will suffer a painful testing baptism via the now obligatory Being Nailed at the Nurburgring, along Germany's autobahns and knee-deep in our pot-holed and lightly destroyed B-road network.
The fruits of this labour should result in a big smile and big sales, so we'll keep you updated on the little runt's progress…

Finishing NF6
Technically our goal to finish playtesting was on the 17th, but we made a couple last minute changes to boost a few under-performing cards (which have been very successful btw). Today will likely be the final reports before sending on the cards to AEG. So far I've only seen 1 completed card art (which looks awesome) and a few sketches, so will be able to enjoy the incoming stream of art over the next few weeks.
Also on the Nightfall front, looks like some stores are beginning to stock Nightfall: The Coldest War with a few others scheduled to start carrying it over the next few days. I've got my copy sleeved and ready to play, just waiting to get up with my gaming group.
Game Design
Just in Time
I've decided on my changes for the game's next trials:
-> Game length will be a static 40 tasks, divided evenly between the 4 task types
-> Players will be dealt job cards specifying 2 of the types: +1 to one and +2 to the other
-> Players will score 1 point per completed task plus bonus points based on job cards
-> Moving back to using all discs for time travel, with same color discs used for fudging results
-> Changed Sabotage to Distort: removes all discs from location AND forces players at location to time travel (no fudging)
-> Penalties for failing a task force players to discard that day's disc color, distort a number of locations and then shift the timeline an additional day
-> Completing a task no longer awards 2 discs: you place essence on task, so you get the essence back plus 1 disc
I still don't have a good way to handle the very end of the game, so brainstorming continues on that front. The rest of the game is getting very solid though, very happy about that. I might take some time and create a more final prototype, perhaps after I'm sure that there won't be anymore large-scale changes.
Ideas for this one have come together nicely. I'll probably be creating some initial card frames over the next week using the same icons I did back with early Chainmaster prototypes:
Bundles of Joy
New Games!
Sorry, couldn't resist listing this tidbit under this heading
Went by my local FLGS and picked up Discworld: Ankh-Morpork. I've read the first couple books in the Discworld series and loved them, so hearing about the game got my attention and it looks like it plays pretty well too, so became a no-brainer. Also received Thunderstone: Heart of Doom and Thunderstone Advance: Towers of Ruin in the mail this week. I'm hoping to get in games of Discworld and Thunderstone Advance today, we'll see how the day goes.
We take care of a couple of stray cats that live under our utility building, one very old black male (Andy) that actually belongs to our land lord, but has basically been left to live outside and then a true stray calico female (kidos named her Cali). There's also an orange tomcat that prowls the area and has been roughing up Andy (we're gonna catch that bugger sometime), but has also impregnated Cali a couple of times now as well. This last litter was born a little over a week ago and produced 1 orange, 1 light calico, 1 dark calico and 1 grey/black striped (almost looks solid dark grey). We've moved the kittens and Cali into our enclosed patio area to keep them safe and well fed until the kittens can be given away, then we're going to take Cali to the vet so we won't have anymore of these surprise litters (though it's mighty tempting to keep 1 or 3).
I took some pictures of the kittens, but my phone's camera is, well...

MEDIA ALERT - April 23, 2010
Recently, Jet Set Games released new information about it's upcoming social strategy game for the iPhone, Highborn, via the company's official Facebook Fan Page (Facebook.com/JetSetGames). Two new developer diaries with details on combat and the story of Highborn, along with new character information and several new screenshots are now available.
Below is a recap of the new information.
Two New Developer Diaries - Combat and Story:
Two diaries, both penned by Senior Game Designer, Joseph Hewitt, reveal additional details about the gameplay of Highborn.
The first, "Gentlemen, This is About Combat," details how the two different types of strategy games in Highborn (map mode and combat mode) work together: http://bit.ly/dknMv6
Excerpt: "In most games of this type, you tell your unit to attack an enemy and all you see is the damage numbers popping off the two units or maybe a little cut scene of them shooting at each other. It's not very exciting or interactive and, quite frankly, it's pretty predictable. With Highborn, we wanted to give you a little more control over the combat so it isn't always based purely on the stats of your units."
The second, "Humor, Story and Breaking Through the Third Wall," discusses the development process of creating the weird, wacky and often irreverent fiction of Highborn: http://bit.ly/bbIq5o
Excerpt: "Being a bunch of hardcore, real-time strategy veterans, we are used to our games having lots of intricate workings, tech trees, and other complicated stuff. But for the iPhone, we wanted a game you could just pull out of your pocket, jump right into, have some quick fun, and then put away when the jury came back with the verdict. This 'not serious' mindset started to seep into the writing as well."
Meet Trillian, Highborn Rogue with a Heart of Gold:
Recently, Jet Set Games revealed Archie, leader of the Highborn, and Floyd, head of the Decay. This week, it revealed Trillian, a lady with a shady past who now fights for the Highborn.
Excerpt: "Trillian grew up as Lady Winifred Wilhelmina du Waverly, daughter of the Baron and Baroness of Bloomingtonfeld. Yeah, we'd never heard of it either. Lady Winnie Willie didn't much care for a life of latent luxury, so she dyed her hair black and started calling herself Trillian (just'cause it sounded badass)."
Read more about how Trillian became one of the good guys (and a rather effective Rogue) on the Facebook Fan Page: http://bit.ly/ajwFgc
New Screenshots and Character Art:
No female Rogue would be complete without a skimpy costume. Check out her character art, along with new screenshots of her tip-toeing around the map on our Flickr Pool: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jetsetgames
About Highborn:
Highborn is the first social strategy game for the iPhone that features casual, round-based gaming. It's the perfect design for mobile gaming, or for anyone looking for a strategy game that offers an intelligent, tactical experience without the frenetic play of a traditional RTS.
Highborn is developed by Jet Set Games, including a team of industry veterans, many of who created the original Command&Conquer products, including Westwood Studios Co-Founder Brett W. Sperry. It will be available in Apple's iTunes App Store for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch this spring.
• A Light Touch– Highborn is a casual mobile strategy game that offers a satisfying experience for players, no matter if they spend minutes or hours in the game.
• Time for a New Strategy– Highborn features a unique blend of strategic movement and 3D combat that caters to a variety of gameplay styles and offers a great deal of replayability.
• Multiplay at Your Pace– Round-based gaming enables players to think then act when playing one-on-one against their friends, and allows them to have multiple games going at once.
• Face Your Facebook Friends– Players can challenge their friends to a match, or brag about their achievements in their news feed.
• Many Styles of Play– Players unlock hero characters as they progress through the game, giving them access to different abilities and play styles, along with different strategies to use against their opponents.

This is a policy of an organisation which specifies that no employee would be terminated from his/her job on account of the bad situations present in the economy which would adversely impact the business.
However, it doesn't exempt any employee from being terminated from the company on account of poor performance.
This will be very much helping in maintaining, if not boosting, the employee morale. But then the company will be hindered from going for cost cutting measures. Or it can go for other cost cutting measures like not giving benefits, etc. This gives confidence to employees to perform better as they believe they have job security.
On the contrary, misuse of zero-layoff policy can also be a challenge for companies, where employees become complacent & under perform. In that case, the employee however can be terminated.

KARACHI: Danish Kaneria's effort to clear his name of wrongdoings was dealt another blow after the leg-spinner and Karachi Zebras' captain in the recently concluded Super Eight T20 Cup, Hasan Raza, came under suspicion for throwing their must-win match against the Peshawar Panthers.
Panthers won the match by 31 runs and progressed at the expense of the Zebras on better run-rate.
Kaneria limped off the field after bowling just four balls – where he conceded 11 runs – after experiencing a side strain. Raza, meanwhile, was dismissed for just one and went into the dressing room instead of sitting in the dug-out with the rest of the team.
Kaneria, however, has hit back at claims that the Karachi City Cricket Association (KCCA) will be reviewing the players' performance in that match.
"Firstly, the KCCA should be questioned as to why I was removed from captaincy despite leading the team well," said Kaneria. "Secondly, if the team has not done well, then the captain, coach and manager should be asked about it. I've always given my 100% while playing for Karachi and it really hurts when senior KCCA officials doubt my commitment."
Kaneria added that he was already fighting allegations of spot-fixing and this was making it all the more difficult for him to clear his name. "I've even submitted reports of my injury and those doubting it should ask the physio and the doctor about its legitimacy."
KCCA to watch footage again
Meanwhile, a senior KCCA official confirmed that the association will review video footage of the match before reaching any conclusion. "We'll make sure that this case is thoroughly investigated," said the official. "We don't want to destroy anyone's career but if we find any wrongdoings, those involved with be dealt with severely."

Legal Question in Family Law in Louisiana
hi..my divorce papers say that me and my x husband have joint custody but that i am the domicile parent. what does that mean? can he just take the kids to live with him whenever he wants?
Asked on 1/23/07, 6:57 pm
1 Answer from Attorneys
Nick Pizzolatto, Jr. Pizzolatto Law Office
Re: domicile
No he cannot take the children to live with him. He must adher to the visitation plan that was filed. All joint custody does in your case is give the non-domiciliary parent the right to speak with the children's teachers and doctors and such.

text: Dolan needs to just come out and say if Isiah has is going to be the coach, or he needs to just fire him. Our team is a damn circus act! I like Isiah, but it is time for him to go, not because I don't think he can coach this team, or not because I don't think he's put together a good team, all of that is irrelvant, our team has become not just an embarassment to NYC, but to the whole league. This needs to come to an end ASAP. Really I'm at a point where I don't care if we win or lose games. I hate to admit this but I kinda wanted us to lose last night in hopes that would be the straw that broke the camels back! I mean a win may just drag this thing out even longer. I don't care about the playoffs, I don't care about trades, I just care about not being the laughing stock of SPORTS! Scott Layden teams were bad, and I loved proclaiming my support of those teams, even through we appeared to be a dead end team. This team can be something special to watch when they are playing well together, but the turmoil is too much. This team isn't a underdog team, it's a defunctional mess. It's time to start over new, as much as been made of Zeke not getting another job, I think he will, certainley not a GM, but I can see as a scout, or even a coach ( I bet if he's fired and Phil Jackson bolts the Lakers would consider it), but his days in NY have to end, just because Knick fans deserve a fresh start. Sorry Zeke nothing personal but I'm a Knick fan before a fan of any player, GM, or coach

Antigua to Launch Pirate Site to "Punish" U.S. With World Trade Org. Blessing
Jason Mick
January 25, 2013 1:23 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Site is allowed to make up to $21M USD a year to compensate for "illegal" U.S. ban on internet gambling
This month the twin-island nation of Antigua and Barbuda aims to finally force a World Trade Organization discussion of its plans to launch a "pirate" site, which would profit off of selling cheap bootlegs of copyrighted works owned by copyright holders in the United States.
The unprecedented plan comes courtesy of a bizarre trade conflict between the U.S. and the small Caribbean island nation. The battle began when the U.S. in 2003 blocked various Antiguan internet gambling portals, such as the World Sports Exchange. After negotiations collapsed, Antigua took its case to the
World Trade Organization
, an international arbitrary body that deals with trade disputes.
The WTO
in 2005 that the U.S. decision to
block Antiguan internet gambling IP addresses
violated free-trade since some similar domestic (U.S.) gambling sites were
allowed to remain in operation
. The U.S. refused to comply with the ruling. The refusal brought big changes to the island's economy; 5 percent of the citizens once worked in the high-tech internet gambling industry -- now they were left looking for jobs.
In 2007, a frustrated WTO
ruled that Antigua was allowed to suspend U.S. copyrights
to the tune of up to $21M USD annually until the U.S. complied with the ruling. Antigua declared plans to leverage the ruling by launching a portal that sells bootlegs of U.S. copyrighted works at discounted rates, for profit.

The WTO would have to sign off on the plan, but that debate never happened because the U.S. successfully shelved the discussion at the last WTO meeting, calling it "untimely".
an interview
Torrent Freak
, Antiguan government attorney Mark Mendel emphasized that his nation's plans were not "piracy" as the WTO approved of the copyright violations. He remarks, "There is no body in the world that can stop us from doing this, as we already have approval from the international governing body WTO."
The U.S. is upset about the plan. It has written a
terse letter
to the WTO declaring:
If Antigua actually proceeds with a plan for its government to authorize the theft of intellectual property, it would only serve to hurt Antigua's own interests.
Government-authorized piracy would undermine chances for a settlement that would provide real benefits to Antigua. It also would serve as a major impediment to foreign investment in the Antiguan economy, particularly in high-tech industries.
But Antigua isn't listening to the threat and is poised to move forward with the plan at this month's meeting. Exact details of the portal have not been publicized, but
Torrent Freak
writes that one idea is to grant citizens unlimited access to U.S. copyrighted works for $5 USD/month. Antigua and Barbuda has a population of about 80,000 people, most of whom live on the island of Antigua.

Raspberry Pi Replacing X11 With Wayland/Weston To Get GPU Acceleration
Subject: General Tech | May 29, 2013 - 05:20 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: x11, weston, wayland, videocore iv, Raspberry Pi, linux, bcm2835, arm
The Raspberry Pi Foundation has been working with Collabora to fund development of a Wayland display server that is compatible with the Raspberry Pi and also allows the continued use of legacy X applications.
So far, operating systems that run on the Raspberry Pi have used X as the display server and window compositor. The Raspberry Pi Foundation wants to move to a window compositor that will take advantage of the Raspberry Pi's Hardware Video Scaler (HVS) and take the burden of window composition off of the relatively much slower ARM CPU. The Raspberry Pi Foundation has chosen Wayland as the display server for the task.
The Raspberry Pi Model A.
Taking advantage of the HVS and OpenGL ES compatible GPU will make the system feel much more responsive and allow for advanced effects (fading, Expose'-like window browsers, et al) for those that like a little more bling with their OS.
The Wayland/Weston display server allows for GPU acceleration and window composition using the Pi's VideoCore IV GPU and HVS (which is independent of the hardware units that run OpenGL code). The display server will feed the entire set of windows along with how they should be laid out on screen (stacking order, transparency, 2D transform, ect.) to the HVS which will hardware accelerate the process and free the ARM CPU up for other tasks.
According to the Raspberry Pi Foundation, the Raspberry Pi's HVS is fairly powerful for a mobile-class SoC with 500 Megapixel/s scaling throughput and 1 Gigapixel per second blending throughput.
In addition to GPU acceleration, Wayland will allow non-rectangular windows, fading and other effects, support for legacy X applications with Xwayland, and a scaled window browser.
The Raspberry Pi Foundation has been working with developers since late last year and is nearly ready to roll a technology preview into the next Raspian operating system release. The developers are still working on improving the performance and reducing memory usage. As a result, the new Wayland/Weston display server is not expected to become the new default in the various Raspberry Pi operating systems until late 2013 at the earliest.
This is a project that is really nice to see, especially since at least a small part of the development work going into supporting the ARM-based Raspberry Pi on Wayland will help other ARM devices and Wayland in general which is becoming an increasingly popular choice in new Linux distributions and the best X alternative so far. Of course, this is primarily going to be a useful update for those Raspberry Pi users that run OSes with GUIs as the responsiveness should be a lot snappier!
If you simply can't wait until later this year, it is possible to install the technology preview (beta) of Wayland/Weston onto the current version of Raspbian Linux by cloning the git project or installing a Raspbian package of Weston 1.0. Blogger Daniel Stone has all the details for installing the display server onto your Pi under the section titled "sounds great; how do i get it?" on this post.
See a video of Wayland technology preview in action on the Raspberry Pi on the Raspberry Pi Foundation's blog.

Gigabyte Launches Ultra Portable Notebook Lineup
Subject: General Tech, Mobile | June 1, 2012 - 10:24 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: x11, ultrabook, u2442, u2440, notebook, gigabyte
Gigabyte, a company mostly known for its motherboard manufacturing, has announced a new lineup of small and lightweight notebooks. Among the new systems are the X11, U2442, and U2440 notebooks. Running Windows 7 and powered by Intel's latest Ivy Bridge processors, the ultra-portables pack plenty of power.
The X11 is an ultra-lightweight 11.6" notebook at 975 grams and .3cm at it's thinnest point (1.65cm at its thickest point). Constructed of carbon fiber, it was built using a woven diamond technique that resulted in it being lightweight while maintaining rigidity. It is powered by an Intel Ivy Bridge processor and 128GB SSD. It further comes with USB 3.0 and Bluethooth 4.0 connections. A 16:9 LED backlit display connected via an aluminum hinge is another feature of this laptop. Intel's Rapid Start and Anti-Theft technologies and a Smart Recovery system are also built in.
For those that require dedicated graphics, Gigabyte has also launched a 14" notebook with NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M or GT 640M graphics cards. The U2442 weighs in at 1.57kg and ranges in thickness from 18.5-21mm. The computer also uses Intel's Ivy Bridge processors, but the larger form factor has allowed Gigabyte to give the notebook a dual vent design for the GPU and CPU respectively. It also comes with a 1600x900 LED backlit display, backlit keyboard, and THX TruStudio Pro audio technology. The U2442 notebook further has a 128GB mSATA SSD paired with a 750GB hard drive as well as WiFi, USB 3.0, Bluetooth 4.0, and HDMI 1.4 connectivity. The "Champagne Gold" colored cover has a brushed aluminum texture that looks nice as well. No carbon fiber here, but it does look to be all aluminum.
Finally, the U2440 is designed to be less powerful–but more portable–than the U2442. This 14" notebook comes with an Intel Ivy Bridge processor, NVIDIA GeForce 630M graphics card, optical disc drive, 1TB mechanical hard drive, and a mSATA slot for SSD upgrades. The system has taken a downgrade on display resolution versus the U2442 with only 1366x768 pixels. It supports up to 8GB of DDR3 memory, 802.11n WiFi, and a 1.3 megapixel webcam. Further, the U2440 has 1 USB 3.0 port, two USB 2.0 ports, VGA, HDMI, RJ45, microphone input, and headphone output ports. The U2440 comes in a dark gray colored chassis with a brushed aluminum texture on the notebook lid.
As far as pricing and availability, the X11 carbon fiber notebook will be available in July with street prices ranging from $999 to $1299 USD. The U2442 will also retail for between $999 and $1299 USD, but it will be available sooner–towards the middle of June. The U2440 isn't as light as the X11, or as powerful as the U2442 but it has both of those systems beat on price. The U2440 will have street pricing that starts at $699 USD before tax and will be available for purchase at the end of June.
They seem like interesting systems, and they look nice as well. What do you guys think of the Gigabyte notebooks?

Legal Question in Business Law in Florida
I have a question,regarding as Deposition discovery.
I am a Pro se , Can I take a deposition without the Attorney?

2 Answers from Attorneys
Sure, you can depose witnesses. Just follow the rules.
Answered on 8/16/10, 5:13 am
Kevin B. Murphy Franchise Foundations, APC
The other attorney is correct. You can depose as long as you follow all applicable deposition rules. Because a lot of these have to do with hearsay, etc., if you're not an attorney you will have a lot of trouble. Consult with a good attorney in your area for specific advice.

What one do prefer and why?
Printable View
What one do prefer and why?
Ps Vita
Proud owner of one
Love the graphics, nice and crisp. Loving the games.
The apps YouTube mostly. Shit everything haha. :p
I have both and I prefer the Vita. It just offers more for me, also the 3d on the 3ds hurts my eyes occasionally.:mad:
Even though I haven't even played a Vita, I gotta go with the 3DS. Simply put, can't beat that Nintendo charm. And even if the Vita has better games, I don't have enough time time/money to enjoy them.
Vita for the technology and overall quality of games
3DS for the amount of games I want to play on the system and am currently enjoying. - The vita will (hopefully) get to this stage at the near future.
Basically, I think the Vita is a better piece of tech but I've been playing more 3DS
I have them both and enjoy them for the content that you'll only get having each one of them.
Right now I prefer the 3DS, but games like AC: Liberation will help change that.
Right now I have neither, but 3DS has the most games, no doubt Vita will pull through like PSP eventually though.
I prefer the Vita. 3DS doesn't interest me. And I like Sony 1st party better than Nintendo. Also Vita has way better graphics and tech.
Changed "make" to "contribute in". Hope that makes you happy. smh
smh @ smh'ing :snicker
Your opinion is yours, and your only.
For me I honestly prefer the Vita. But it is not by much. My opinion my be different if I did not love MLB 12 so damn much!!!! Once the 1.80fw releases on the Vita, it will make my decision to choose the Vita even easier.
The 3DS because of the content and how if differs from my other Nintendo console (wii).
Im sure ill end up with a vita one day at the moment no content on it excites me enough to buy it and the price as well.
I rarely used my 3d feature on the 3ds only in mario 3d land cause you need it for some levels.
The 3ds is simple not flashy gets the job done. While i love flashy tech stuff (like the car i drive) the 3ds fits my gaming on the go needs better than the vita and the vita is so nice and expensive i wouldnt want to take it anywhere with me for the simple fear of messing it up and then having a case it be a burden to carry around with my 3ds i can put it in my pocket and not care.
I might pick up a 3DS XL on release date.
I have both.
Vita is the better hardware by far, but the 3DS has some awesome games and quite a few too. Ironically, the games the Vita needs to really kick on are all on the 3DS at the moment. Monster Hunter (JPN), Kingdom Hearts & Tales of The Abyss etc.
Overall the Vita is a better designed handheld. As for features and OS the Vita is killing it here too. All the Vita needs is games and they are coming, if you never owned a PSP the store is full of games already. Can't wait for PS1 emulation and it'll be the handheld.
The 3DS is nice but I kinda get the feeling nintendo were half asleep in creating it.
Let's take a look at TGS 2012.
Vita - Well it was just distressing. They showed a PS1 Crash game running on Vita and some PSP ports.
3DS - Professor Layton, Professor Layton V Phoenix Wright and a new Phoenix Wright game. Another game by Level 5 called Fantasy Life and more.
It's just chalk and cheese. Half the issue with the Vita is the developers are still willing to support PSP because of the install base. The Nintendo developers are on the whole onboard with the 3DS now. The biggest DS game I can think of this year is Pokemon Black & White 2, everything else is on the 3DS.
They have to do something with the Vita and fast or we will have another Dreamcast on our hands.
3ds....More content and different games from its home console counterpart.
That's its really I think Vita is impressive just not enough content that I can't already play on my ps3. I hope this changes to cause I would like to own a Vita

Jeremy Hefner allowed one run on two hits over seven innings and the New York Mets turned two throwing errors by Milwaukee third baseman Juan Francisco into a pair of unearned runs and a 2-1 victory over the Brewers on Sunday.
Josh Satin had two doubles and a single for the Mets, scoring one run and driving in the other to extend his hitting streak to 11 games.
Hefner, who matched his career-high with eight strikeouts, allowed two runners in the second when he hit Rickie Weeks with two outs and Sean Halton followed with a single. But Hefner struck out Logan Schafer to end the inning. Hefner has a 1.64 ERA since June 4.
Bobby Parnell, who came on with a runner on first and two outs in the eighth, finished for his 15th save.
Reliever Tom Gorzelanny (1-2), pressed into his second spot start of the season to give Willy Peralta a couple extra days to rest his ailing left hamstring, allowed two unearned runs on eight hits in six innings, striking out a season-high eight.
The Mets hustled across an unearned run in the fourth. With two outs, Satin doubled to center, narrowly sliding in ahead of the throw from center fielder Carlos Gomez. Francisco then barehanded Andrew Brown's slow bouncer, but his hurried throw eluded Halton at first, allowing Brown to reach and Satin to score.
Francisco's second throwing error on almost identical play set up the Mets second run in the sixth. With one out, he again barehanded a slow roller by Marlon Byrd and threw wildly past first, sending Byrd to second. Satin followed with an RBI double off the wall in right.

A 'Sassy' new salon now welcoming clients on Main
Michelle Lundin has assumed the scissors at the former Carol's Shear Pleasure, Sassy and Company now welcoming clientele, original and new, at the salon on the first block of Main.
"I've come full circle," said Lundin, who applied at the salon a decade ago. She was offered a position, but declined because it was part-time.
"When I needed a change, this was the first place I came," she said. "It happened to be for sale."
"Come on over," owner Carol Smith told her. "We'll talk about it."
"She's a mini Mom," Liz Tostenson said of Lundin's first-to-arrive, last-to-leave work ethic.
Carol Smith and husband Ed founded the salon Christmas 1995.
"Our family was centered around this," Tostenson said of sister Sue Weckwerth's and her daughters,' Leeza and LeeAnn, jobs in the salon. Ed Smith was the "janitor and numbers guy; I've taken on his role."
Carol Smith originally opened a salon in the log building on the fourth block of Main. "We've been with it since day one.
"Mom loved doing hair," Tostenson said of her 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. hours of operation.
"It was definitely her passion," Lundin agrees.
But health issues precluded continuing.
The night Smith officially closed the salon, she styled hair for a friend from the Twin Cities.
"She wanted to depart that way," Lundin said of her last "performance."
Sassy, Lundin explained of the salon's moniker, has long been part of her hair design vocabulary. "I always said you should look - and feel - better when you leave than when you come in."
A sassy entrepreneurial spirit drove the 26-year hair designer's decision to go out on her own.
The melding of customers "was like joining families," Tostenson said of the "relaxed family atmosphere" in the salon. "Mom's motto of comfort and laughter is continuing."
The economy's downturn has led to longer stints between haircuts. And people are asking for color - without highlights. But the need to tame the locks remains.
Seven hair designers and a masseuse and nail technician serve clientele at Sassy and Company. Services include hair color and cuts, manicures and pedicures, massage, facials and waxing, with an updated product line now available.
"From 5 to 90, we want everyone to feel good," Tostenson said. "And it's still your mama's salon," she said of roller sets.
Sassy and Company is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Thursday; 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.

A post-modern European Grand Tour
"Planning a trip is half the fun," I mutter, typing yet another set of dates into the CheapTickets.com search box. I repeat the mantra to myself, trying to stay calm while booking tickets for our summer trip.
Who ever coined that phrase never had to arrange three different itineraries starting in Denver, with connecting flights in Frankfurt, Zurich, Istanbul and Amman, then returning from Munich and London on different days. On top of that, we need to find someone to look after Comet the Golden for three weeks — and he's pretty picky. I feel like Clark Griswold, trying to set up National Lampoon's Ultimate Family Vacation.
Luckily, I have the world's mellowest girlfriend. She also has plenty of experience planning and implementing complex travel arrangements, so I thought I might get off easy on this one.
"You'll have to do it this time, babe," Leigh says, closing her laptop and heading to work.
"Not good," I say to myself, eyebrows starting to twitch stressfully. I'm the ideas guy. I can envision a Grand Tour: Belgian waffles, fairytale castles, strudel in Salzburg, gondola rides in Venice and Sacher Torte in Vienna. Details are not my strength. Heck, I can barely remember my own phone number and I only glance at my bank statements about once every three months. Continue reading "Euro travel: Frisbee, fussball and self-cleaning toilets"

1999 Chevrolet Suburban - Consumer Review
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Build Quality
Reliability Value
A beast of comfort and reliability.
By father of four on
Vehicle1999 Chevrolet Suburban K1500 LT 4dr SUV 4WD
ReviewYes, these times might make you say to yourself - my gosh, can I afford the gas. Well, if you can find a vehicle that can haul as much as this can, can motor across most any surface - dry, slick, or wet, and can haul this many folks in comfort all while getting better gas mileage, well, I say go for it. I have had this vehicle since it was new, and I swear by it. Yep, it'll eat brakes, but its about 4 tons of truck so that's to be expected. Comfort is an understatement. Safety is an understatement. Put the kids in their seats and strap them in and you're fine. And I have had no real issues with relability, just normal maintenance issues that were easily fixed.
Best FeaturesFront and rear A/C. Good sound system. Good torque and HP. Outstanding comfort. Can pull with vigor. Good traction in all conditions with the right tires.
Worst FeaturesThe sliding seat forward on the right passenger side can be removed, but sliding it back and forth for access to the 3d seat is a non starter for kids. They just jump the seat and plop down in the back.

From the list, see 'jvm oom' in http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/hbase-user/201101.mbox/browser, it looks like wide rows – 30M or so – causes OOME during compaction. We should check it out. Can the scanner used during compactions use the 'limit' when nexting? If so, this should save our OOME'ing (or, we need to add to the next a max size rather than count of KVs).

From: Ted Yu
I used the command you suggested in

Can you briefly describe what conclusion can be drawn here ?
From: Nicolas Spiegelberg
You're basically seeing all the KeyValues in that HFile. The format is basically:
K: <KeyValue.toString()>
If you look at KeyValue.toString(), you'll see that the format is roughly:
So, it looks like you only have one qualifier per row and each row is roughly ~1500 bytes of data. For the user with the 30K columns per row, you should see an output that contains a ton of lines with the same row. If you grep that row, cut the number after vlen=, and sum the values, you can see the size of your rows on a per-Hfile basis.
I think I'm seeing this on one workload as well - I added a "stats" command for the HFile tool, then ran it on a problematic 1.5GB gzip-compressed HFile that won't compact due to OOME.
Key length: count: 272358037 min: 59 max: 2259 mean: 59.620136732003246
Val length: count: 272358037 min: 0 max: 0 mean: 0.0
Row size (bytes): count: 1287745 min: 67 max: 15615127736 mean: 14301.657317248368
Row size (columns): count: 1287745 min: 1 max: 233061608 mean: 211.49997631518661
so in this case there's actually a row with 233 million columns which takes up 15GB uncompressed!
Anyone foresee an issue with just using a limit of 10 KVs on the scan(kvs) call in the compaction loop? TestCompaction passes fine with that change.
Anyone foresee an issue with just using a limit of 10 KVs on the scan(kvs) call in the compaction loop?
No. Things might run imperceptibly slower.
A limit of 10 is used here. Should a config parameter be introduced for the limit ?
Patch v2 looks good.
Minor comment: 10 should be replaced with new config below:
+ // Limit this to 10 to avoid OOME
The patch doesn't apply on TRUNK.
Please prepare another patch for 0.92/TRUNK.
Patch v3 included changes to HBaseConfiguration.java
If I commit v3, Todd would kill me
Sorry about that. My mistake, I should be more careful when creating patches. v4 is the winner. Thanks for your patience.

wikiHow to Find Suicune in Pokémon HeartGold or SoulSilver
Suicune is a powerful legendary Pokémon that's part of a trio in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver. Unlike its pals, Entei and Raikou, it doesn't randomly wander the map. Suicune will spawn in select places on the map; unmoving until you approach it. Since it's a quite elusive Pokémon, you need patience to capture it. Fortunately, the wild goose hunt to capture Suicune is well worth it. Read on from step one to find out how to find this awesome Pokémon.
1Fly, bike, or walk to Ecruteak City.
2At the top part of the city, there is a burned tower known as Brass Tower, or simply the Burned Tower. Enter it.
3Walk to the right, then upwards. Climb down the ladder. Walk towards Suicune, Raikou, and Entei. They will run away.
4Go to Cianwood City. Walk north and you'll see Suicune again. Of course, it runs off, but you'll be able to catch it soon.
5Fly to either Ecruteak City and run right or Mahogany Town and run left. Either way gets you to Route 42. Go to the entrance of Mt. Mortar and you'll see Suicune again.
6Go through Mt. Silver to get to the Kanto region. Go to Vermillion City and you'll see it again.
7Go to Route 14. Don't worry, as this is the last time Suicune runs away.
8Bike or walk to Route 25. Go to Bill's (the creator of the Pokémon Storage System) house, and you'll see Suicune again. This time, it won't back off. Do a battle with Suicune.

Pope Benedict XVI received Italy's new ambassador to the Holy See, Antonio Zanardi Landi, today on the feast of St. Francis of Assisi. The pontiff spoke with the new diplomat about the "mutual collaboration" between Church and State "for the promotion of mankind and the good of the entire national community."
Recently, the Church in Italy has come under attack for its tax-exempt status from certain radical and Masonic groups within the European Union. The Pope seemed to be referring to this when he added, "the Church does not aim to acquire power nor does she seek privileges or positions of economic and social advantage. "Her only aim, is to serve mankind, drawing inspiration, as the supreme norm of behavior, from the words and example of Jesus Christ Who 'went about doing good and healing everyone.'"
Reiterating earlier responses to allegations that the Church was taking advantage of her outreach, Benedict told Landri, "the Catholic Church asks to be considered for her specific nature, and to have the opportunity freely to carry out her special mission for the good, not only of her own faithful, but of all Italians."
The Pope also addressed Italy's Christian heritage and challenged Italians to use the riches of their Christian culture as, "a stimulus to seek new ways to face the great challenges that characterize the post-modern age." In this context the Pope mentioned "the defense of life, ... the protection of the rights of the individual and the family, the building of a united world, respect for creation and inter-religious and inter-cultural dialogue."
After recalling that the year 2008 marks the 60th anniversary of the Declaration of Human Rights, the Pope pointed out that this date "could constitute a useful occasion for Italy to offer its own contribution to the creation of a just order in the international arena, at the center of which is ... respect for mankind, for his dignity and for his inalienable rights."
Quoting from his own Message for World Peace Day 2007, the Holy Father then went on to say that the Declaration of Human Rights "is regarded as a sort of moral commitment assumed by all mankind. There is a profound truth to this, especially if the rights described in the Declaration are held to be based not simply on the decisions of the assembly that approved them, but on man's very nature and his inalienable dignity as a person created by God."
"Italy," Pope Benedict , "by virtue of its recent election as a member of the Council for Human Rights, and even more so for its own particular tradition of humanity and generosity, cannot but feel committed to the tireless construction of peace and the defense of the dignity of human beings and all their inalienable rights, including the right to religious freedom."

COAST CITIES — San Diego County officials have launched a new system to alert residents about the nearly 5,000 registered sex offenders living in the region.Yet authorities lament that the law prevents the alerts from publicizing more detailed information about these offenders, insisting that privacy for offenders should be cast aside in favor of an unproven attempt at increased public safety.
Started earlier this month by the San Diego County Sheriff's Department, District Attorney's Office and County Supervisors, sandiegocountysexoffenders.com allows residents to sign up for email notifications for updates on the address and status of registered sex offenders within a specific zip code. The email directs recipients to check California's Megan's Law website, which publishes more extensive information about these offenders.
"We have seen the tragic consequences of these sex offenders living in our neighborhoods. By knowing who these offenders are and where they live, we are better able to protect our children," said San Diego County Supervisor Bill Horn, who was a leading force behind the site's creation.
Tragedies have occurred within the county at the hands of convicted sex offenders in recent years, most notably the murders of 14-year-old Amber Dubois from Escondido and 17-year-old Chelsea King from Poway by convicted sex offender John Gardner III.
"We need to know everything they're (registered sex offenders) doing," said Sheriff's Cmdr. Tim Curran. "The more (authorities) can make you aware of that person and their movements, the safer we are."
The entire program cost $20,000 to create and $2,400 each year for maintenance, according to Melissa Aquino, a Sheriff's department media relations officer. About 5,500 people have signed up to receive alerts through the site so far.
San Diego's new system is intended to better broadcast the information available on the Megan's Law website.
The Megan's Law website provides information about registered sex offenders including full name, a photograph, physical description, exact address, and details on convicted offenses, but does not offer notifications for when its database is updated.
"No one has time to go through (the Megan's Law) list every single day," Curran said.
"The current system through the Megan's Law website is a very passive way of notifying residents about the sex offenders living in their communities," said Horn.
The email alerts notify recipients if sex offenders within a specific zip code have moved. But, state law prevents them from publishing all of the details included in the Megan's Law database to prevent harassment of sex offenders living in the community.
Horn said he hopes to change state law such that all of the information in the database can be publicized in the email notices.
"Sacramento is resisting change, but I will continue to fight for the protection of children and families as opposed to the rights of convicted sexual predators," he said.
Yet the county is not exactly sure how effective its efforts will be.
Curran said that the email alert system is the first of its kind, and no one knows if it will increase public safety.
The alert website acknowledges that, "the vast majority of these offenders remain compliant with the law."
Furthermore, not all sex-related offenses that require the perpetrator to register as a sex offender are violent or are against children. Offenses that require registration range broadly from forcible rape to public urination.
Regardless, the site and officials still insist that constant tracking of these individuals is warranted.
When asked why the county does not track and notify the community about other violent criminals, Curran said that he did not know the reason, but emphasized the importance of tracking registered sex offenders.
"There's no worse criminal out there than somebody who targets our children," he said.

A family from Creeting St Mary have spent nearly £10,000 battling to get the right educational support for their autistic son.
Tony and Heather Clarke are taking Suffolk County Council to a tribunal on May 10 claiming the educational needs of their son Alex, 13, have not been catered for.
Tony said mainstream education in the area could not cope with Alex's complex problems and that he would like to see his son attend private school Centre Academy in Brettenham.
He said: "He is at Needham Market Middle School at the moment and they say he is the most complex child they have dealt with.
"Alex has a whole raft of problems - there is a mix of autism, ADHD, dyspraxia and verbal dyspraxia.
"One of the difficulties is that he is not disruptive in school so he is often overlooked in a lot of ways.
"He is now 13 but at the seven or eight year old mental level."
Tony said although sending Alex to the specialist school would not be cheap, it would cost the taxpayer less in the long term.
He said: "Alex is 13 now so only has three more years in education.
"He is going to be really struggling to be self sufficient in the future without help.
"In the long run he will be in sheltered housing and on benefits which will cost a lot more money in the future."
Heather said: "He is a bright child but needs help socially.
"He is so trusting and naive we worry how he will cope at high school.
"What we hope for is Alex to to be goiven a chance to get the education he deserves."
Suffolk County Council said they could not comment on individual cases.
Graham Newman, Conservative cabinet member fort education said around 3,000 young people in Suffolk had statements of special educational needs.
He said: "We are talking about a very small percentage of people who have encountered real difficulty."

Photographer's Note
Here a potter is busy with to build a clay idol of Goddess Lakhmi with paddy straws...Goddess Lakhsmi is the elder daughter of Goddess Durga...I took this snap at Kumortuli,Kolkata...Durga Puja is the famous festival of Bengali,which is held in the month of October.
Kumortuli (also spelt Kumartuli, or the archaic spelling Coomartolly) (Bengali: কুমোরটুলি) is a traditionally potters quarter in northern Kolkata (previously known as Calcutta), the capital of the east Indian state of West Bengal. By virtue of their artistic productions these potters have moved from obscurity to prominence. This Kolkata neighbourhood, not only supplies clay idols of Hindu gods and goddesses to barowari pujas in Kolkata and its neighbourhoods, but a number of idols are exported.

Magnificent portrait which the potter has done in the process of elaboration of his work, I love the great sharpness and how stresses on the black background, every detail and textures can be admired. Very good management of light.
Have a nice week.
Best regards.

Hi Prasun,
You made here a great work of partial desaturation. You should have passed time to realize it ! Excellent choice of exposition that permits to see the movement of the arm.
Your copyright signature in the middle of the image spoils a little because it catches the attention.You should remove it or move it in a more discrete place.
Thanks a lot for your precise note.

Hi Prasun,
interesting photo - partly also due to partial desaturation which helps to place the main accent on the idol.. to me, this scene is a bit "exotic" :)

The chief nurse at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta is speaking out about why the two American patients who contracted Ebola in Africa were brought back to the United States.
Susan Mitchell Grant wrote in an article for the Washington Post that Dr. Kent Brantly and Nancy Writebol, who worked in Liberia with the mission Samaritan's Purse, were brought back for better treatment and other broader reasons that could the country and the world overall.
"These patients will benefit — not threaten — the country," Grant wrote in her post titled "I'm the head nurse at Emory. This is why we wanted to bring the Ebola patients to the U.S."
Fears that some had with these two patients being brought back to the U.S. from West Africa, where an outbreak of the viral disease is raging, were "unfounded and reflect a lack of knowledge about Ebola and our ability to safely manage and contain it," Grant said.
She went on to explain how Emory University Hospital has a specialized unit for "highly infectious patients" and staff is trained to deal with such conditions.
"But beyond that, the public alarm overlooks the foundational mission of the U.S. medical system. The purpose of any hospital is to care for the ill and advance knowledge about human health," Grant wrote.
Going forward, Grant wrote that Americans and others could benefit in the future from the hospital taking over treatment, thus allowing it to learn more about how to treat the virus, which does not yet have a vaccine or cure.
"This pathogen is part of our world, and if we want eradicate these types of potentially fatal diseases before they reach our shores uncontrolled, we have to contribute to the global research effort," Grant said. "Today, diseases do not stay contained to one city, country or even continent."
But the most important reason these citizens were brought back to their home country, according to Grant, is because it "is the right thing to do."
Read Grant's full thoughts in the Washington Post.

De Soto's collective 2009 mill levy to increase
July 24, 2008
As taxing jurisdictions in De Soto publish their budgets for the coming year, it appears most taxpayers in the city will see a total mill levy increase of from 1.5 to 2.6 mills.
De Soto City Council, De Soto USD 232 Board of Education, Johnson County Fire District No. 3 and Johnson County Commission have all published budgets in the past few weeks, although none of the budgets have been approved. That will happen with public hearings in the coming weeks.
Governing bodies can reduce the expenditures amounts in published budgets but cannot increase those amounts without republication. Finally, although publication fixes maximum dollars amounts, mill levies remain an estimate until the county makes final assessment numbers in September.
A mill is equal to $1 for every $1,000 in assessed valuation.
The city of De Soto published a budget this week in The De Soto Explorer that would increase the mill levy from 27.177 to 27.276 on that part of the city served by the De Soto Fire Department and from 17.044 to 17.110 in those parts of the city served by Johnson County Fire District No. 3.
The big capital project in the city's $8.8 million proposed budget is the planned resurfacing of 83rd Street from Kill Creek Road east to the city limits. The Johnson County Assisted Road Program is to pay $417,000 of the project's estimated $821,000 cost. Present economic conditions and a loss of expected revenue from development fees and sales tax did force the postponement of the downtown streetscape project.
The USD 232 Board of Education approved a 2008-09 budget Monday that would raise the mill levy to 74.018 mills, which is a 2.5 mill increase from the 2007-08 mill levy of 71.463 (see related story).
The mill levy for the fire district would decrease from 9.494 this year to 8.359 in 2009, said the fire district's operation manager Mark Billquist.
Kent Dvorak of the fire board said the board was considering buying a new response vehicle should the numbers look good.
In recent budget deliberations, Johnson County Commissioners published a proposed $738.2 million budget that would maintain the county's mill levy at 23.242 mills. The county budget sets aside $15.4 million for county assisted road program - which includes - $2.3 million for the bridge, road and culvert program, $11.7 for stormwater management improvements and $1 million for the Johnson County Parks and Recreation District's Okun Fieldhouse expansion and another $4.2 million for land expansion.
The mill levy in Johnson County Community College's published 2008-09 year will remain unchanged from the 2007-08 rate of 8.749.
One last local mill levy that shows up on De Soto tax statements is that of the De Soto Cemetery District. Cemetery Board President Chuck Lawhead said the board had not yet completed it 2009 budget but said it was always minimal and didn't expect much of a change from the 2008 mill levy of .284 mills. Board members wanted to do more work on the main road that was chip sealed this year, he said.

Marriott giving away $50k for restaurant concept
That's what the Marriott Renaissance Hotel wants to offer one lucky entrepreneur.
If you've always dreamed of having your own restaurant or bar, this could be your big chance. Marriott is holding a contest for a new food and beverage concept inside its Renaissance Hotel. The winner will watch his dream come to life right in downtown phoenix thanks to business mentorship and some generous financial backing.
This space inside the Renaissance Hotel used to be a Starbucks, but by next month? It could be a new Sushi bar or taqueria. Marriott hotels want you to decide.
The company has come up with this great concept called Canvas that is a food and beverage concept lab that they're rolling out, not only here in the United States but globally.
Canvas is an incubator, hosting a contest for the next great restaurateur. The winner will turn a 1200 foot empty-space into the foodie hotspot of his or her dreams.
"So whether it's blowing out a window, putting a fresh coat of paint, redoing the floors, or creating some kind of island style concept as opposed to the traditional counter space; the sky is the limit," said Jon Erickson. Director of Sales Jon Erickson said dozens of hopefuls have already walked this space, making notes and taking measurements for their food truck, bistro, or wine bar pitch. "Anytime you give away $50,000 plus the space, plus all of the knowledge that Marriott brings as a corporation without putting their thumbprint on it really gets people excited."
In real estate they say it's all about the location, and this location is a prime spot for a restaurant at Central and Adams, one of the most heavily trafficked spots in downtown Phoenix and also next to a light rail stop.
Canvas contestants must submit their idea online, along with photos or video that support the idea. While you don't have to be a seasoned entrepreneur, you do need some feel for the numbers.
"They do need to submit--a business plan if you will, and just kind of an overall concept of what they'd like to see in this place," he said.
The winner of the contest will have six months to try out their idea. If the traffic is good and the concept sticks it may become a downtown fixture.
"I want to see something fresh, something exciting, something that's not quite normal, just a little twist to it if you will," said Erickson.
The deadline for submission is midnight on January 16th. At that point, a committee will review all of the proposals, narrowing them down to a pool of finalists who will be interviewed at the end of the month.
From that point, the winner will have two months to get the business up and running before it opens its doors.

The Athens-Clarke Commission is pushing its next agenda-setting meeting up one week to Thursday, but has had to change so many meeting dates lately that commissioners are thinking about changing the rules for changing dates instead.
The commission usually holds its discussion-only agenda-setting meetings on the third Thursday after the first Tuesday of the month, but will meet on the second Thursday this month to avoid conflicting with the Christmas holiday season.
Mayor Heidi Davison also is moving next month's voting meeting to Jan. 2, a Wednesday, because the first Tuesday of the month is New Year's Day, when government offices are closed.
So far this year, Davison has had to shift meetings to accommodate a February special election, the Fourth of July and Thanksgiving. Next year, there's the presidential primary on the first Tuesday in February, the general election on the first Tuesday in November and Thanksgiving on the third Thursday in November.
It can get confusing for residents who are trying to follow local politics.
At a special voting meeting Thursday, the commission will vote to move meetings only to accommodate elections that involve the mayor or commissioners, not all elections, Davison said. That change will allow the commission to keep its regular schedule in February.
At least three commissioners - Kelly Girtz, Carl Jordan and David Lynn - have proposed another change to the meeting schedule, changing voting meetings from the first Tuesday of the month to the first Thursday, putting them on the same day of the week as agenda-setting meetings. The switch would be easier on commissioners with day jobs who can't catch up on sleep until four days after a marathon voting session, Girtz said.
But Commissioner Andy Herod, a University of Georgia geography professor, sometimes has to travel on Thursdays to weekend conferences, nixing the possibility of Thursday night voting meetings, Davison said.

Women's Hockey: All work and no play for Linda
Ireland captain Linda Caulfield last night hinted that the huge commitment required at international level prompted her decision to retire from the big stage after 151 caps for her country.
Her loss will be a big blow as Ireland prepare for next year's Olympic qualifying tournament in Canada which they will have to win to book their tickets to Beijing.
National coach Gene Muller will obviously be hoping that there are no further withdrawals from his panel which is basically a young one as seems to be the trend in Irish hockey these days.
Caulfield was one of the most experienced players in the squad yet has stepped down from the international arena at the age of 27.
Talking about her decision, she hinted that the demands on her time, like many of the other players, was instrumental in making it.
"There is a huge demand on players to increase their time on the pitch and the intensity of training as we compete at the highest level against semi professional teams," she said.
"It is excellent to see players committing more time to training as it is the only way we will enter the top 12 in the world.
"However it is very difficult to commit to the training schedule along with the demands of work.
"I have reached a point where I can no longer manage to do both at 100 percent so, unfortunately, something had to give."
At domestic level, the semi final line up for the Winemark Ulster Shield was decided at the weekend with three teams booking their places in the last four, just as they had done 12 months ago.
Holders Randalstown edged out Harlequins on goal difference after beating Ballymena 4-0 and they will be joined in the draw by Ballymoney, Armagh and Pegasus.
The latter missed out last time when they fell to a surprise defeat against Randalstown and they have qualified for the semis at Ards' expense, after the County Down outfit did so last season.
Ballymoney came from behind to beat Knock 4-2 while Armagh progressed with a 100 per cent record after trouncing Civil Service 7-0 at Stormont.
The Group A contest was the closest by far as Belfast Harlequins missed out by a single goal on goal difference despite beating Priorians 10-2 at Deramore.

General Comments
The last of the really great Mercedes saloon cars, built to uncompromising standards of luxury and quality. Powered by the almost unbreakable V8 engine with a vast automatic gearbox, the car easily powers to 155mph. Designed as an executive autobahn cruiser, these cars can be bought from upwards of an insane £500 for a tidy runner. Insurance is around the £150 mark for a 42 year old with no no claims bonus (including breakdown cover). Ideal for weekend cruising and going to shows, don't ever think of using it for the school run as I did when my van broke down: it laps fuel at an alarming rate! (15mpg). On a run however, the car can manage 32mpg at a steady 55mph so it is an acceptable cruiser.
In summary, if you want ultra reliability, luxury and acceleration on a par with an Aston martin DB7, for very little money: this could be the car for you!

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
The shirt was bought and cut to be a muscle shirt. The jacket was bought and dyed, but I would like to buy an actual bomber jacket in the future. The shorts were cut to be short. The hat was altered after being bought from an antique shop. The wig was given to me by Jia Jem and I used FW Ink tutorial to dye it to the perfect purple. The fiber however did not what to take the dye so much so I had to dye it about 4 times before it got to the color I wanted. I would like to completely remake this costume in the future.
- Personal Thoughts:
- Costume made for Youmacon because Armitage rocks and because Pluto is adorable. My first time crossplaying.

So here's my problem, softmodded my wii fine with usbloadergx and everything worked perfectly except for mariokart wii which would give me black screens often.
I refered to the thread here http://www.wiihacks.com/recommended-...s-use-run.html and concluded that i needed IOS33/36-64-v1040 .
Instead of downloading the wads and using wad manager, I used dopios and tried to find IOS36-64-v1040. I think I found it (I atleast remember it being v10xx) so I attempted to downgrade my IOS36 to try and match 1040.
Since then I have been having problems. Usbloadergx now loads to a black screen as does wadmanager, dopios, pimpmywii, trucha bug restorer, etc so I'm not sure what to do to go about fixing it.
I've tried loading wad manager dopios etc through boot mii and that doesn't work. I also tried to fresh install hbc but my console freezes after I click ok.
Let me know if anyone has any ideas. I'm stumped. Thanks in advance!
EDIT: 11/10/09 solved using bannerbomb to load dopios. thx for the help! Much appreciated
