so yes, i was one of those geeks. up until the day of launch, i was not really too sold on the new Google Nexus One phone. Â Android didn't seem to be as mature as the iPhone OS but still seemed to have a one-up on Windows Mobile/Web OS though. Â However, after doing more research on the technology being used in the new Nexus One I was sold. Â The Snapdragon CPU alone was worth it imo (cpu speed has historically been the weakest part of most devices, and of course balancing it w/decent battery life) and the fact that there were visual notification options (external led and trackball notifier).
So, what does this previous iPhone 2G and 3G user think of Android and the Nexus One?  Hit the jump to get my part 1 of 2 on my experience.
First things first, this is Google's first real attempt at launching its own phone. In late 2008, T-Mobile was the first to launch an Android smartphone. Android is Google's smartphone/smartbook OS. The main idea behind the Android OS is that it is free and open source; so anyone can use it or create apps for it. There is no premium attached to running it on a phone for a manufacturer. The inital launch of the G1 was mixed with love and hate. The hardware itself was not the best at the time and at times showed its age by being a bit slow. The Android OS itself was VERY young and immature; however even though it was Google's first release it still was pretty good (almost as good and perhaps better than Windows Mobile in terms of stability and ease of use).
Between the G1's launch and Google's announcement of the Nexus One (days before CES, similar to how Apple's iPhone announcement was setup), the Android platform had matured quite a bit and very nicely. HTC released several great device such as the Hero and Motorola really brought its A-game with the Droid. The Droid was one of the first Android devices to really catch the consumers eye (besides the geeks and early adopters of previous android phones) with an updated Android OS.
Prior to the Nexus One announcement, rumors and eventually blurry spyshots and videos slowly leaked from google employees. Google had distributed devices to all of its employees for testing and in what seemed like a nicely coordinated viral marketing campaign; more and more details started leaking out including the first blurry pics and then the bootup screen and finally as CES approached more and more detailed videos and info started leaking. Finally, Google made it official at an event prior to CES.
The biggest thing about the Nexus One was that Google would be selling the device from its own webpage (http://google.com/phone ) and would sell it unlocked or subsidized w/a contract with T-Mobile (USA) and later in the year Verizon. The cost for the Nexus One unlocked was $529 (meaning you can use it on any GSM based network) or for $179 subsized by T-Mobile (in turn requiring a 2 year contract and also requiring a $39 unlimited data plan).
Most people were not very impressed by this. To most, $500+ for a phone is a lot of money but the problem is that most people don't see the full picture. I've been a T-Mobile customer now for about 4 years and in turn have been grandfathered into the T-Zones Unlimited Web data plan ($5.99/mo) and did not want to loose that plan since its a bit more challenging to get it back ( see my tech-recipe on how you can try to get this data plan). So I had to decide on whether I wanted to save a few bucks instantly but pay for it in the long run or if i wanted to pay the full $529 but in the long run save money. To me, this was a no brainer; buy the phone unlocked since 1 years worth of data would in turn make the cost of ownership of the Nexus One more than the money saved on the subsidized price. So about around 3pm on launch day I pulled the trigger and snatched it up. Gotta love the free overnight shipping!
Hardware/Initial Impressions:
The boxing of the Nexus One is comparable to the iPhone's. A nice sturdy, white box w/a microUSB cable, power cable, the phone. The feel of the Nexus One is a bit different but good; it has a velvet rubber backing feel and the screen feels and looks better than my previous iPhone 2G and 3G. The boot up screen loads rather fast and walked you through activating (if you are a new customer), however since I already have a tmobile sim, i just popped it out of my iPhone and into the Nexus One and was instantly up and going. :)
The phone itself feels very solid and high quality. The near velvet feel of the backing is nice and grippy vs the iphone's smooth/glossy surface. It has 3 hardware buttons and a scoll ball/led indicator.  My fave feature of the Nexus One is the LED notification. Its sad to think i've gone almost 2 years with having to turn on my phone to know if i had an unread message/missed call/voicemail. A feature the iPhone to this day lacks, what, LEDs too expensive?? /sarcasm
The first thing you'll notice when you power on the phone is how fast it does boot up and also the screen.  It really is gorgeous. Anothering i've noticed is that the screen seems to almost be a 'self-cleaning' screen in that when i put in back in my pocket and then take it out, it seems to clean the finger prints off of it by rubbing on the fabric in my pocket.
The battery is removable but the memory card (microSD/SDHC) and sim cards can only be accessed with the battery out which can be annoying at times.
The camera is on the back like all touchscreen phones but the nice thing is that since the camera is above the battery area, if your camera lense gets very scratched, you can just buy a new battery cover and fix that.
The connnector is a microUSB flavor (the new current standard for phones). The Nexus One also internally has Bluetooth, 802.11n wifi, HSPDA/EDGE data radios, GPS, Compass (for augmented reality apps, navigation). It has almost every connectivity flavor that currently exists in phones and of course easily powers it with its amazing 1ghz Snapdragon processor. Like others have said, this phone is really the best of all current phone technology packaged into one phone.
Overall, the Nexus One feels like a very high quality phone; it doesn't feel slippery or plasticky cheap. So hardware-wise, i'm very impressed with the phone. Google just released the Dock for the Nexus One however I have not had time to use yet but once i return back home i will add a new post on it.
So yes, the Nexus One is an amazing piece of phone hardware. For a phone geek, you couldn't ask for more. It has the actual processing power to drive AR apps without any lags and a screen that is gorgeous compared to most other touchscreen phones. The camera is a very nice 5mp and does a good job of shooting.
Next post, i'll take a look at the software side of things and how the transition from iPhone OS to Android went for this geek.

text: My sister is going with us for part of our December trip, and we want to have some serious girl-type fun one day. Does anybody have any information (prices, choices, etc) about spa stuff - like maniucures, massages, and facials? Is there somewhere on-line that has a list of options and the prices? Where is the best place to go? Also, do we need to make appointments in advance, or can we do that when we arrive at the resort? I saw somebody in another post talking about a lady at the Yacht Club spa who handpainted little Christmas trees and snowmen on your nails when you had a manicure done. That sounded like a lot of fun! So, I called to ask about it and they told me that the lady who did that has left and they don't have anybody else who does that sort of thing anymore. Has anybody had anything like that done anywhere else? We thought it might be fun to have that done on the day of the Christmas party. Any information is appreciated.

What is it that attracts you to a restaurant? Is it the ambience or the food? Or perhaps, it's the name of the food joint. It is quite a tricky question to answer. While most foodies go for flavourful food, there are exceptions where people visited a restaurant because the name sounds familiar. Of course, most times they don't regret the choice and end up enjoying some finger-licking good food.
That Hyderabadis love their food isn't new. But what's new is the trend that is catching up fast in the city. A lot of restaurants are coming up with Telugu names — some funny, some interesting, some nostalgic. These places don't fail to garner attention from the right people — not just for their names but also for the variety of flavours and tastes they offer.
These eat-outs, about 25 scattered across the city, with quirky names are sure creating a niche for themselves. They have regional touch not just in flavours, but in names too.
Names like Vivaha Bhojanambu, Vantakam, Village lo Vindu and Bhojanam directly point to food, while a few others focus on the flavours like Yelluri Ruchulu, Telangana Ruchulu, Rayalaseema Ruchulu and Palanati Ruchulu. There are yet others which are related to films, dance forms and food varieties. If there's one common thread connecting them all, it's the fact that they are all pukka local. And most of these popular restaurants confine themselves to serving traditional Telugu flavours with an exception or two.
B Bharat, one of the partners of 'Thinespo' outlet in Kompally, says that people made fun of their choice of the restaurant's name. "It was not the name we originally decided for our venture, but when my partner suggested it, I found it interesting," he recalls. The young entrepreneur says that there were people who debated in the restaurant over the name. "In the initial days, people would have a hearty laugh once they learnt the actual meaning of the name," Bharat shares. He feels that it is the name that helped them fetch more crowd when they started out. And, there were people who — going by the name Thinespo — dropped by expecting one kind of cuisine but were either surprised or disappointed when they realised the restaurant with a typical Telugu slang name serves continental cuisine.
However, owners take pride in their restaurant name and feel that it gives them more scope to play up well with the theme. The moment the customer enters the food joint, they can feel the local touch which is also another reason why more restaurateurs opt for quirky Telugu names. It lets the foodies feel an immediate connect to the place.
Be it a small joint or a big one, owners actually invest a lot of time to decide the names of the restaurants. Sye fame Shahank recently ventured into the food sector and named his restaurant in Madhapur Mayabazar. On asking why he chose the name, he says, "I am associated with the film industry and I wanted people to relate to my joint immediately." The actor-turned-entrepreneur shares that Maya the movie Mayabazar is one of the greatest movies that have been made, so I went ahead with it. "The moment people step inside the place, they would feel the aura of the late actors," he shares. Many people from the film fraternity have visited the place and expressed joy over having a food joint that is named after a legendary movie, he says.
R Ram Mohan Rao from Nala Bhimas says that they always wanted the restaurant to have that local touch. He mentions that Nala Bhima pakam is a common phrase used when we talk about good food, so they finalised that name. "The interiors and the menu are also in sync with the name," he shares. Ram feels that it the name the has attracted a lot of attention.
Now, how many of these restaurants have you tried out?

Action Congress of Nigeria in Ondo State has welcomed into its ranks some Labour Party members, who joined the party in Owo Local Government.
The defector from different wards in the LGA were led into the ACN on Monday by Eniola Ajipe, a special assistant in the Adebayo Adefarati administration, who contested a seat to the Ondo State House of Assembly in Owo in 2011.
While addressing reporters at Emure Ile, in Owo LGA after the event, Director of Communication, Independent Campaign Network of the ACN, Mr. Bosun Oladimeji, said the defectors were followers of former governorship hopeful, Chief Segun Ojo, who joined LP from ACN.
Oladimeji, who was also part of the team that received the new members, said it was "the beginning of the end for the LP" in the state
"These are the people who were deceived and hoodwinked into joining LP by Ojo but now his supporters have seen the light," he said.
The defectees included a brother to Ojo, Modupe; another officer in the Adefarati administration, Mr. Olajide Oluloro; Head of the Security Committee of LP in Owo, Oluwole Waibi; and former Vice-Chairman of LP in Emure /Uso Ward of the LGA, Mr. Dada Olubu.
A defector, Olajide Oluwole, said they decided to leave LP and Ojo's camp because he had been "inconsistent and for being a political flirt who has changed party three times within a short time".
"We will deliver our ward to ACN despite braggings by Ojo that he has control of Owo," he said.
Ajipe, on his part, said he left ACN in August 2011, when Ojo defected to LP.
He stated that his decision to leave LP was born out of the fact that he had vowed never to severe political affinity with Ojo.
While receiving the newcomers, ACN governoship candidate, Rotimi Akeredolu, thanked the new members and promised they would be integrated fully into the party.

It is known that the electricity that comes to our homes is not stable in nature. There are many fluctuations, raise and falls, and surges/Spikes in this current. This unstable current cannot be used by any of the household appliances. Moreover, the fluctuating current wastes the electric current from the circuit by converting electrical energy into heat energy.
This heat energy not only gets wasted to the atmosphere, but also harms the appliances and wiring circuit.
ALMIGHTY Energy Saver temporary stores the electricity inside of it using a system of capacitors and they release it in a smoother way to normal without the spikes.

Aunty pokes through our dirty laundry this week, with a series of programs touching on 21st-century sex. In an age when Playboy has dumped nudes because porn is beamed free into every home, there's certainly much to discuss. Tom Tilley will host Australians on Porn, a live forum examining how many of us are watching it and what it's doing to our relationships. Other docos include the Australian premiere of Revenge Porn, plus Four Corners: Escorts and a special episode of Good Game. ●
The Life and Death of Sophie Stark by Anna North (Hachette) hachette.com.au
Lauded by Lena Dunham, this portrait of a damaged (and damaging) artist is a gripping character piece with the electric crackle of a thriller. We only ever see the eponymous, enigmatic Sophie through the eyes of others – as a fledgling filmmaker, a teenage misfit and a feted director. I can't remember the last time I read a book in a single sitting, but journalist Anna North's smart, twisting and swift-footed tale is an irresistible treat. ●
Adele 25 (Remote Control) adele.com
There can't be many people on the planet who haven't heard Hello, the belting first single from her third LP (so long-awaited that Adele is actually now 27). It sets the tone for 25's redemptive flavour. The broken relationship that gave 21 its burned-out beauty remains in the background, but there are flashes of new happiness. Musically, it's mostly business as usual, but why mess with success? This is as perfect and heartfelt as pop gets. Nobody will be disappointed. ●

Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation DVD, Blu-ray and iTunes missionimpossible.com
Tom Cruise is back in the franchise that refuses to self-destruct. While it has flirted with the gritty stylings of post-Bourne espionage flicks, the M:I series has never been able to shed its inherent silliness. This is a good thing. Film number five joyfully embraces its daftness, while Cruise himself is just as bonkers. Outrageous fun. ●

What is the difference between Unrevoked3 and Unrevoked Forever?
Big time, and I'm not being a dick here, unrevoked, has everything you need to know there,
While I agree with ACD that you should do a little searching, the unrevoked site is not user friendly at all. Basically:
unrevoked = one time root. basically temporarily "unlocks" your phone to allow you to install a custom recovery.
unrevoked forever = nand unlock. This is a permanent "unlock" which allows you to install unsigned firmware. So even if you accept a locked update, you can still install a custom recovery.
Before unrevoked 3.2, if you were to install the 2.2 OTA, you would not be able to root without having previously done unrevoked forever.
thanks for that, I hate telling anyone to search, but it was late and couldn't keep my eyes open lol.
I've been contemplating root on my DInc and I've been to the unrevoked site to read the documentation...
If I wanted to install a rom like cyanogenmod (spelling?), which unrevoked would I need to accomplish this?
If you are on 2.2 then you need the new unrevoked 3.2 which is not available to download directly yet. You can join their IRC channel to get it if you are feeling adventurous.
Nice, just went over to the site, and didn't see too much information.
Does this mean that you can use this tool even AFTER already updating the OTA? I'm already rooted, but the reason I ask is because a friend of mine wants to get the Inc specifically to root and get wifi tether. In case it comes 2.2 out of the box, I want to make sure she still has that option.
If you did unrevoked forever, then yes, you can still install clockwork on 2.2. If you have a virgin 2.2, then you will need to use unrevoked 3.2x when it is released.
Hey guys, quick question--Is rEVOked 3.2* supposed to work for both 2.1 and 2.2 users? In other words, when it comes out is it going to be a one-stop root and nandroid unlock for all Incredible users? If so, it sure will make answering preliminary questions for new people more simple.
I don't know for sure, but I assume it will based on their version'ing. They would (should) have made it unrevoked4 if it were not backwards compatible like they did with 2.

San Francisco, CA (PressExposure) December 31, 2009 -- While Washington is buzzing about the difficulty small businesses are facing to obtain credit, many companies may also be in danger of losing their current bank loans as a result of the recent "Great Recession."
According to small business investment banker Jeffrey Sweeney, small business financing can be pulled for a number of reasons but the most common are either poor financial performance by your business or credit problems experienced by your bank. Additionally, a bank's financial problems can also lead to its desire to take less risk and reduce your loan balances.
"Unfortunately, your bank will generally not tell you your loan will be 'called' or not renewed until right before it takes action," said Sweeney, CEO and Managing Director at US Capital Partners, a financial services firm based in San Francisco. "It's a little like when a bank fails and is taken over by the FDIC: We never hear about it until the Monday after the weekend when the takeover happened."
Therefore it's important to know how to assess the risk of losing your business financing. Small business owners need to know the risks associated with the type of loans their company has and their company's financial performance. And what do you do if you are at moderate or great risk of having your small business loan pulled or not renewed?
"You now know that it's time to shop your loan or have a professional shop it for you - if you want to continue to have working capital for your business," Sweeney said. "Most commercial banks are essentially the same when it comes to credit assessment and the types of loans they can make, so it's important to work with an experienced recapitalization advisor or small business investment banker to assist you with the financial restructuring including alternative lending options like asset-based loans to achieve optimal results for your company."

VSDA Postpones Consumer Shows12 Feb, 2003 By: Kurt Indvik
Consumers will have to wait for Hollywood to come to them, as the Video Software Dealers Association (VSDA) has postponed to May the "Tinseltown" consumer shows from their originally scheduled launch in March.
"The exhibitors told us the spring time frame would work better for them given their existing commitments and their marketing strategies," VSDA VP of public affairs Sean Bersell said.
The first has been pushed back to May 3 and 4 at the Scope Arena in Norfolk, Va., said Bersell. The show moves on to the Minneapolis Convention Center May 17 and 18, and a third show is planned for May 31 and June 1 at the Henry B. Gonzales Convention Center in San Antonio.
The association has not yet announced what companies have signed on as exhibitors or sponsors.
"We are going to do that at an appropriate time and manner in a way that both recognizes the exhibitors commitment and promotes the event effectively," Bersell said. The association had previously confirmed Blockbuster as a sponsor.
VSDA designed the Tinseltown events to bring mid-sized markets the full range of home entertainment from Hollywood, including video, music and video games. They will feature exhibits from suppliers, retailers as well as special events and celebrity appearances.
The association hopes to stage four more events in 2003 and ratchet up the shows per year from there.

The Paris Hilton Problem… with Artificial Intelligence
The fear and excitement of artificial intelligence or thinking machines has been a popular conversation for decades. Movies like The Terminator or A.I. conceptualize the debate as machines becoming self aware and taking over the world (literally). While not being a technological luddite, we are getting closer to the ability of computers to think like humans, and is this necessarily a good thing? A recent New York Times article states:
The implications of progress in A.I. are being brought into sharp relief now by the broadcasting of a recorded competition pitting the I.B.M. computing system named Watson against the two best human Jeopardy players, Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter.
Watson is an effort by I.B.M. researchers to advance a set of techniques used to process human language. It provides striking evidence that computing systems will no longer be limited to responding to simple commands. Machines will increasingly be able to pick apart jargon, nuance and even riddles. In attacking the problem of the ambiguity of human language, computer science is now closing in on what researchers refer to as the "Paris Hilton problem" — the ability, for example, to determine whether a query is being made by someone who is trying to reserve a hotel in France, or simply to pass time surfing the Internet.
If, as many predict, Watson defeats its human opponents on Wednesday, much will be made of the philosophical consequences of the machine's achievement. Moreover, the I.B.M. demonstration also foretells profound sociological and economic changes.
As computers are able perform tasks at a reduced cost to the employer, will jobs become obsolete? If computer can understand human language, riddles and possibly even jokes, do we need to rethink what it means to be human? Is is ethical to abolish all technology that has an obvious possible determent to society? However, what about A.I.'s positive impact in the field of scientific research and increased quality of life? Where does one draw the line in the sand when creating technology that can think and anticipate and calculate like humans (but at an increased rate and infinite storage capacity)???

Beijing - The Beijing city government said on Friday it would tighten control over popular micro-blogs that have vexed authorities with their rapid dissemination of news, giving users three months to register with their real names or face legal consequences.China has repeatedly criticised micro-blogs for spreading what it calls unfounded rumours and vulgarities and has issued a series of warnings that online content must be acceptable to the ruling Communist Party.Micro-blogs such as Sina's Weibo allow users to issue short messages of opinion - a maximum of 140 Chinese characters - that can course through chains of followers who receive messages instantly.Censors have a hard time monitoring the tens of millions of messages sent every day and users have become expert at using clever, nuanced language to discuss sensitive topics such as human rights and the foibles of the top leadership.Now, in rules unveiled by the Chinese capital's government and carried by state media, individual and company users must register with their real identification information.DifficultUsers have three months to register with "responsible departments for internet content" or will face legal consequences, state media cited the rules as saying.However, people will be able to choose their own usernames, state-run Xinhua news agency cited an unidentified government spokesperson with the Beijing Internet Information Office as saying.Hong Kong media said the cities of Shanghai and Guangzhou were likely to follow suit."Not only will this not affect the development of micro-blogs, it will help such sites build their brands and improve their service," the government spokesperson told Xinhua.China has more than 300 million registered micro-bloggers, although many people have more than one account.Wang Junxiu, an internet commentator and investor in Beijing, said the new policy would be difficult to implement - the rules give no details on how they will be enforced - but nonetheless would have a chilling effect."I don't know how they're going to implement this because there are already hundreds of millions of users on micro-blogs," said Wang, who studies micro-blog developments."How do you go about checking them one by one? It will be very hard to enforce, but it still means that the intensity of controls will grow."DismayPeng Shaobin, general manager of Sina's micro-blog service department, told Xinhua that the company had been trying hard to "stop the spread of false information" on micro-blogs."We... support the regulations," Peng said.China already blocks foreign social media sites like Twitter and Facebook, fearing the uncensored sharing of images and information could cause instability and harm national security.Chinese micro-bloggers were quick to share their dismay at the new rules."This is a covert way of monitoring what people say and to control public opinion!" complained a user with the screen name of "huitailang". "But think about it another way - if the subjects of heaven are full of complaints, that's bad for social harmony and for our emperors."Still, investors may be slightly more relaxed, as they have been expecting tighter regulation for some time now, said Dick Wei, a Hong Kong-based analyst with JPMorgan.The impact would depend on how the new regulations were executed, he added.Control"If you look at the real-name registration for the online-games industry back a couple of years ago, the execution of the real-name registration on the online games industry did not impact the online game usage," Wei said.Sina and other Chinese micro-blog operators already deploy technicians and software to monitor content and block and remove comments deemed unacceptable, especially about protests, official scandals and Party leaders.While the Party has vowed to intensify control over online social media and instant messaging tools, analysts say it is unlikely to shut down what has become an important valve for monitoring and easing social pressures. The government has also urged ministries, officials and the police to set up their own micro-blogging accounts to give the public "correct" facts and release authorised information to dispel misunderstandings.
The "correct" facts? According to who?
Even the Communists in China are finding the Electronic Age a nightmare. But here they think an Info Bill will muzzle the media! Makes our Government look a bit backward doesn't it? They are trying to hide things the way it was done in a previous century and the world is already 20 years ahead.
I hope the ANC take note! You cannot muzzle the people like in the past. Collaboration is n Biiaatccch!
I hope our government is not taking too many notes re: what their friends are up to! Sounds like a logical step 2 to the Secrecy Bill...
I can't wait to see those communist buggers rocked by civil unrest, the same way the Libyan and Egyptian governments were bought to it's knees.

"Only our mission for the Führer matters."―Herman Dietrich[src]
Oberst Herman Dietrich was a high-ranking Wehrmacht officer and Nazi colonel who under the orders of Adolf Hitler, was in charge of the 1936 excavation by René Emile Belloq of the Ark of the Covenant in Cairo, Egypt.
In 1936, Oberst Herman Dietrich[1] was assigned the task of finding the Ark by SS officer and member of Adolf Hitler's inner circle, Eidel. Eidel explained the Führer's interest in the artifact and specifically needed Dietrich for his acquaintance with archaeologist René Emile Belloq. Despite Dietrich's misgivings over how much the Frenchman could be trusted, Eidel informed the colonel that that would be something he'd have to deal with, as any other parties interested in finding the Ark would be.[2]
After meeting with Belloq in Marseilles, France, Dietrich and the archaeologist traveled to Berchtesgaden, Germany for a debriefing with Hitler at his mountain retreat before finally making their way to Cairo where the excavation was already in progress.[3]
Dietrich and his fellow Nazi commander Major Gobler were unaware that the excavation was being done in the wrong place, until Belloq noticed the a group of diggers a good distance away from the main digsite. They descended upon the diggers led by Sallah and claimed the Ark for themselves, sealing Marion Ravenwood and Indiana Jones inside. When Belloq protested Marion's imprisonment, as he wanted her for himself, Dietrich replied that the girl was of no concern to him; and that Belloq appears to have forgotten that only the mission to his Führer matters.
When Indiana and Marion escaped, destroying the plane that was to carry the Ark to Berlin in the process, Dietrich, Belloq and Gestapo agent Major Toht were in a car escorting the truck transporting the Ark to the nearest airport, and were caught up in a skirmish with Indiana Jones' successful effort to capture the truck. When the truck apparently vanished into thin air, Dietrich took a melon from one of the merchants surrounding the car and threw it down to vent his anger.
Eventually, the Nazis caught up with Indy and the Ark at sea, and transported it to a remote island between Crete and the mainland of Greece, aboard the U-boat Wurrfler. Being a Nazi, he asks Belloq if it really is necessary to hold a "Jewish ritual" to reveal the contents of the Ark, to which Belloq asks him if he would prefer the risk of opening an empty Ark in front of Hitler in Berlin. There was a tense moment when Indy threatened to blow up the Ark with a bazooka in a desperate attempt to rescue Marion Ravenwood, but the archaeologist was convinced by Belloq to surrender rather than destroy a monumental piece of history.
Dietrich and Toht watched on as Belloq performed his ritual at the Tabernacle, reaching into the Ark when it was opened and bringing out only dust; all that was left of the Ten Commandments, which he threw to the ground after looking daggers at Belloq. His frustration turned to surprise and wonder as ghostly apparitions began to emerge from the Ark. Dietrich was not sure what to make of the experience until an angelic spirit turned to face them, and suddenly transformed into a decaying, corpse like entity, baring its fangs and howling at them. Dietrich and the others became frozen to the spot with terror, as a fireball rose from the Ark and engulfed Belloq, using him as a conduit to shoot forth firebolts to strike down the assembled Nazis. As he trembled in fear, Dietrich was killed when the fires emanating from Belloq hollowed his skull. His collapsed remains were then swept up and incinerated by the following firestorm.
Personality and traitsEdit
Dietrich was a known member of the Wehrmacht, the combined German armed forces during the period before World War II. In-keeping with his Nazi allegiances, he regarded those not of German heritage as primitive and untrustworthy; he openly addressed the African Captain Katanga as a "savage" and was displeased with the use of a "Jewish ritual" to open the Ark and openly cited his distrust of the Frenchman René Belloq (though Belloq already had a reputation for being willing to shake a man's hand and stab him in the back at the same time).
Behind the scenesEdit
Herman Dietrich was played by actor Wolf Kahler in Raiders of the Lost Ark. In English, the name Dietrich means skeleton key or ruler.[4]
During the development of Lawrence Kasdan's script for Raiders, Dietrich's name was Shliemann. He was to catch Marion in her tent along with Toht and Gobler, and his fate was not with the initial opening of the Ark of the Covenant. Instead, he and a few of his men survive and pursue Indy and Marion through tunnels in mine carts. During the mine car chase, Shliemann and his men are killed by the explosives that were kept in the caverns. This was cut, and the mine chase idea was recycled for Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.[5]
Kahler also played another Nazi officer named Dietrich in the 1985 TV movie The Dirty Dozen: The Next Mission (along with Michael Sheard), though the officer's rank is a General and the full name is Sepp Dietrich, named after the real life SS General.
In the Raiders novelization, Dietrich's role is slightly the same than in the film. However, his role is slightly expanded in the novel, which one scene featuring him and Belloq smoking cigarettes about what they would do due Jones' escape from Cairo. Also, his death during the opening of the Ark of the Covenant, along the deaths of the other Nazi soldiers, is never explicitly described.
In Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure, Indy can bypass Helmut by mentioning that he is "Gestapo ... Dietrich's successor".
Dietrich doesn't appear in either LEGO game until The Desert Chase. In LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures, Dietrich and Toht help Belloq to capture Indy and Marion. However, during the opening of the Ark, his and Toht's heads shrink in their bodies, killing him and Toht in the process. In the sequel game, Dietrich's wereabouts during The Desert Chase are unknown, but he reappears during the opening of the Ark. However, instead of dying, Dietrich survives as he is send away by Belloq after this kills some Nazi soldiers and Toht.
There were plans by Hasbro for a 2009 action figure of Dietrich, but the toyline was cancelled before one could be made.[6] Dietrich's only other piece of tie-in merchandise is an unpainted metal miniature released in a set containing both characters from Raiders of the Lost Ark and Temple of Doom.

Windows Explorer crashing whenever i open folders (of any kind)
I have an annoying problem that I can't seem to fix, or that doesn't seem to go away. My windows explorer keeps crashing constantly upon the opening of ANY folder. Be it "my computer" "documents" or simply the folder I've named "junk" on my desktop.
I've tried turning of all applications (msconfig->services) using selective boot-up.
I've ran sfc /scannow and it tells me I've got file corruption, but that it is unable to fix.
I've run windows in safe mode, but the same problem persists even there.
I've also tried a system restore - which I was told would be ineffective, something I found to be true.
I was told to copy some files in the c:/ folder, but since windows explorer crashes before I can get there, such suggestions are moot.
I cannot run scandisk, because I cannot reach that part of the computer. All other applications run perfectly.
I'm running an Asus G74SX:
Intel Core i7 2670QM / 2.2 GHz
500 GB Hybrid Drive / 7200 opm
Serial ATA-300
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M - 3 GB GDDR5 SDRAM
I'm at a loss as to what to do - and my options seem limited.

Hello MazrimusTM and welcome to SevenForums,
Sometimes running sfc /scannow up to 3 times one after the other is able to fix corruptions. If you have already tried that, then you might consider doing a Repair Install. This tutorial will explain what you need to do:
Repair Install

I had initial success through formatting one of my drives - installing all the updates and using the error check. After restarting though, the same problems occured once more.
My laptop came with Win 7 installed -and I cannot remember if the windows disk was included... What could cause an issue like this though? I have the same problem on my desktop - though somewhat more sporadic. Seems terribly sloppy that these problems should occur at all.. :P
|My System Specs
|11 Mar 2012
Thats odd that you get the same issue on both computers, but generally speaking these don't really occur that often. I recommend running the Repair Install.
In addition, can you please follow this tutorial so we know what sort of system we are dealing with:

An error message now accompanies the general shut-down of windows explorer (not IE, as a previous replier seemed to believe )
it goes as follows
the instruction at 0x800051da referenced memory at 0x027a0000, memory could not be read.
Oh, joy.
Is there anything apart from a restore with system disk that I can try. Not much seems to be helping.

I still recommend a Repair Install.

After much trial and error I have discovered the source of my problems, a driver that for some strange, cosmic and unknown reason (at least to me) interfered with several processes on my computer. The driver in question was the sentelic touchpad driver/client. Once uninstalled, reinstalled and updated my problems went away.
I am confident that this was the issue - since the same issue came back once I reinstalled the same version once more - and not whilst updated. I tried several different configurations. Should anyone else encounter the same issues on the same platform as I - let them know that both intels turbo boost and the touch pad clients are prone to instabilities.
Thanks for your time

AUSTIN (KXAN) – (Updates with filed appeal linked at the bottom of this post) A federal court judge dismissed civil damage claims made against South By Southwest Holdings, SXSW LLC, and the traffic planning consultant hired to design road closures for the 2014 edition of the annual music festival. That was the year the man convicted in the tragedy, Rashad Owens, fleeing police crashed through a metal barricade and into a crowd of festival-goers killing four and injuring 20 others.
"I take these kinds of cases very seriously," said plaintiffs' attorney Scott Hendler. "While I have a great deal of respect for this judge, we have a very different view of the evidence."
In the ruling dated Sept 20, 2016, Judge Lee Yeakel dismissed multiple claims filed by the widow, an unnamed child and surviving mother of Steven Craenmehr. They were not immediately available for comment. The 35 year old from the Netherlands was struck and killed while riding his bike back to his hotel the night of March 13, 2014.
The lawsuit claimed the defendants were liable on several fronts. Primary among them: the festival planners and organizers could have reasonably anticipated the collision at issue in light of previous "errant vehicle" incidents around downtown Austin. Yet Judge Yeakel decided against the plaintiffs, ruling their legal arguments failed to state claims that rose "above the speculative level."
Yeakel concluded SXSW organizers could not reasonably predict a random crime would happen at their festival locations since crime "may possibly occur almost anywhere, especially in a large city… Further, (w)hether such risk is foreseeable is not determined in hindsight."
SXSW had received right-of-way permits from the city of Austin for certain road closures. Yeakel noted those permits were for areas within the approved traffic control plan. Craenmahr was struck on a public roadway not closed to traffic and not under SXSW control, he wrote.
Judge Yeakel also dismissed a claim of negligence in hiring Patrick Lowe of Transportation Design Consultants Inc. (plaintiffs contended Lowe should not have been hired since he is not a licensed civil engineer) as well as claims of breach of warranty. Yeakel concluded plaintiffs could not show the court any implied warranty to the public or festival goers to keep the premises safe.
After the tragedy, the city of Austin implemented a number of safety changes including augmenting the number and type of road barricades.
Separate civil suits filed by other surviving victims in state court are ongoing. SXSW Attorney Peter Kennedy issued this statement:
"SXSW appreciates the federal court's careful attention to the case. We continue to have the deepest sympathy for Steven Craenmehr's family and all of the people harmed by Rashad Owens's crimes. SXSW has no further comment on the lawsuits, and we will continue to look to the judicial system to resolve the remaining cases."
An amendment to the petition filed after Judge Yeakel's decision to dismiss notes separate legal actions filed against the city of Austin and other defendants including Rashad Owens and Andrew Bramwell, the man whom the suit contends gave Owens the keys to his car that night. The original Craenmahr suit cannot be appealed until those suits are decided, records show. As a sort of legal insurance policy, Hendler filed an appeal Thursday with the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans.

This is a character sheet I created for a game I ran at GottaCon in March 2014 using the Dungeons & Dragons booklets from 1974, recently reprinted by Wizards of the Coast. I advertised the game as an homage to a classic and, anticipating that some players might be unfamiliar with old-school practices, wanted a character sheet that explained as much as possible. I also wanted a sheet that might be appealing and useful to younger players, three of whom showed up at the table.

Media Center Image Rotation
When the picture screensaver comes up, most portrait photos are the wrong orientation. This happens because windows does not read the orientation flags in the jpeg images. If you open these photos in Adobe Bridge, they are the correct orientation.
The long solution is to rotate them manually in explorer (ew)
Anyone know of a way to make explorer identify jpg orientation?

|29 Jan 2011
Googleing your question brought up this tool that looks like it could do what you're wanting by scanning and automatically rotating images.

Thanks. I suppose that will work if I can't find a better solution.
I really want to make windows recognize the jpeg tags in the same manner that codec work for video... or FastPictureViewer works for raw files... I'd hate to have to rotate images that really do not need to be rotated.

Brian K Vaughan has unveiled his new Image Comics project Saga at San Diego Comic-Con.
The ongoing science fiction series will be illustrated by co-creator Fiona Staples, and will debut in 2012.
"Saga is an epic drama chronicling the life and times of one young family fighting to survive a never-ending war," Vaughan told Comic Book Resources. "100% creator-owned. Ongoing. Monthly. Fiona and I are banking issues now."
The writer said that the comic is inspired by Star Wars. He remained tight-lipped about the details of the series.
Saga marks the long-awaited return to comics by Vaughan, who has created various acclaimed titles including Y: The Last Man and Runaways.
His last major comics project was the now-defunct WildStorm imprint Ex Machina, which concluded in early 2010.
Vaughan also writes for television. He was one of the chief writers on Lost between seasons three and five of the show.

I've been having a ton of fun with my HP Sprout lately!
Creation is a part of my being and the HP Sprout makes it so easy for me to sit in front of a desktop and make some magic happen.
A few months ago I created my very own "Lipstick Sunglasses" print and uploaded it onto my phone for a fresh new wallpaper.
I also made it into a phone case and printed a few post cards to send as thank you letters.
It became a multifunction piece of digital artwork which represented me!
This time I wanted to make something that was entirely my own and something that I could frame and perch on my vanity.
As many of you know I am a sucker for quotes and sometimes I really channel my poetic side.
I actually have a quotes page here and I'm happy to say that some of my "quotes" or as I would like to call them "thoughts" have been pinned for 10,000 times on Pinterest!
It's a great feeling to know that your words resonate with others and to me that means more than any outfit of the day ever will.
Thus, the basis of this project.
I wanted to have an inspirational piece of art work that I created from start to finish.
No copied words or mass produced quotes we've all read a million times.
Instead these were my internal thoughts...
I took one of my most recent words and created a text on the HP Sprout mat.
"Plant seeds of faith and watch your dreams blossom."
This simple sentence popped into my head one day when I was battling my own inner demons...
doubting myself and my dreams.
But, if you have faith in yourself and you keep nurturing that tiny little hope inside of you...
your dreams can...and will blossom!
Believe in that.
With that said I wanted to add the metaphor I used with the notion of flowers blooming.
I went to my local flower shop and bought bright pink and purple petaled daisies.
I plucked the flowers from there stems and laid them flat on the mat and used the overhead scanner to grab images of each.
I then resized and flipped the flowers to create my own digital flower bunch and placed them right below the quote.
I hit save, print and framed it as a daily reminder to never lose faith in my dreams!
I hope you do the same.

Harrison Mayor Raymond J. McDonough, a champion of redevelopment during his decades-long tenure in the small Hudson County town, died of a massive heart attack Wednesday afternoon. He was 65.
McDonough was in his 20th year as mayor, after serving on the town council for 17.
"Harrison lost a native son, a tireless advocate and a dear friend," the town said in a release. "Raymond's door was always open, and he never passed up the opportunity to talk about Harrison and its residents."
McDonough's push for redevelopment was evident throughout his time in office for the town of 1.3 square miles, the town noted in a statement.
"Raymond was in the midst of a massive redevelopment effort designed to replace 250 acres of decaying and contaminated industrial land with residences, business and entertainment facilities and office space," the statement reads.
"Under Raymond's constant direction, the town saw the rise of Red Bull Arena, the Hampton Inn, Panasonic's R&D center the River-Park condos, Harrison Station, a 1,400-space parking garage, and many others. After many years of exhausting efforts, Raymond convinced the Port Authority of NY/NJ to rebuild the town's antiquated and inaccessible PATH station.''
The town also credited McDonough with creating a partnership with the Hudson Community Action Corp. to create a medical clinic for its uninsured residents. Construction is scheduled to begin in March, the town said.
Politicians throughout the state saluted his efforts.
"Ray McDonough was a great friend to so many of us throughout Hudson County and an extremely strong advocate for the town of Harrison," State Assembly Speaker Vincent Prieto said in a statement. "He always stood up for the middle class and working men and women and had a great deal of integrity and compassion. He will be greatly missed, and I would like to extend my deepest condolences to his family and the town of Harrison."
Gov. Chris Christie also mourned his loss.
"This comes as a complete shock," he said in a statement. "Mayor McDonough was a genuine, kind-hearted soul, and someone who loved his hometown and its people deeply. He was a devoted public servant, who just wanted to help and do what was best for the tight-knit town where he lived his entire life."

The Final Words of the Last Five Texas Inmates Executed for Their Crimes
For over 30 years, the state of Texas has been compiling a semi-disturbing database consisting of the "last words" of death row inmates just before the killswitch was pulled.
Just last week, the Lone Star state executed its 500th prisoner, which was documented for the sake of the darkest posterity by having her final words put into a sadistic, online database that serves to keep the flame of a dead man's criminal legacy alive past the pulse of their ghost.
Here are the last words from the last five inmates executed in Texas:
To read more final statements from Texas prisoners, click here.
Kimberly McCarthy
Last Words: "I just wanted to say thanks to all who have supported me over the years: Reverend Campbell, for my spiritual guidance; Aaron, the father of Darrian, my son; and Maurie, my attorney. Thank you everybody. This is not a loss, this is a win. You know where I am going. I am going home to be with Jesus. Keep the faith. I love ya'll. Thank you, Chaplain"
Elroy Chester
Last Words: "I just want to say I don't want you to have hate in your heart for me, because I took your loved one. I know it doesn't mean anything; I told the truth because I feel like you should know who killed your loved one. God watches everything. Don't hate me, if you do, you'll have to deal with Him later. For me, live your life but don't hate me. I'm sorry for taking your loved one.
Ms. Suzy, Susan, thank you for fighting for me in the courts. Thank you for supporting me for all these years. Elroy Chester wasn't a bad man, I knew me. A lot of people say I didn't commit those murders, I really did it.
That's my statement. Warden, you can go ahead."
Jefferey Williams
Last Words: "You clown police. You gonna stop with all that killing all these kids. You're gonna stop killing innocent kids, murdering young kids. When I kill one or pop one, ya'll want to kill me. God has a plan for everything. You hear? I love everyone that loves me. I ain't got no love for anyone that don't love me."
Carroll Parr
Last Words: "First of all; Shonna talk to your brother. He'll tell you the truth about what happened to your husband. I told Bubba to tell you what happened. Now, my statement to the world: I am in the midst of truth. I am good, I am straight, don't trip. To all my partners, tell them I said like Arnold Schwarzenegger, "I'll be back." These eyes will close, but they will be opened again, my understanding of God is, Jesus has got me through. To my family, I love ya'll."
Richard Cobb
Last Words: "Life is death, death is life. I hope that someday this absurdity that humanity has come to will come to and an end. Life is too short. I hope that anyone that has negative energy towards me will resolve that. Life is too short to harbor feelings of hatred and anger. That's it."

Matthew Flinders R.N.
As Commander of H.M. Sloop 'Investigator' on a voyage to Terra Australia discovered, surveyed and named Spencer`s Gulf, in 1802. Point Lowey, Curlew Point, Mount Brown and Arden were named by him.
Between the most northerly anchorage and the head of the gulf, five exploratory landings were made from the ships cutter, by Captain Flinders, accompanied by Surgeon Hugh Bell, and Boat Party.
They spent the night of Wednesday, March 10, 1802, ashore near this spot, as described by Flinders' Journal:
"…….our distance above the ship was not so much as five leagues in a straight line, when the setting sun reminded us of looking out for a place of rest. A landing was effected with some difficulty amongst the mangroves on the eastern shore, and from a small eminence of red earth, I saw the ship`s mast heads at S 14 E Mount Brown N 85 E
Next morning we continued the examination upwards; .... but at ten o`clock our oars touched the mud on each side and it was not possible to proceed further."
This monument was erected in 1967 as a memorial to the great navigator and explorer, and to mark this historic landing place where the first Europeans slept ashore on this portion of the coast of South Australia.
It is set on that 'small eminance of red earth."
Erected by the Corporation of the City of Port Augusta

Greene's classy brace enough sinks lacklustre Sligo
St Pat's 3 Sligo Rovers 0
Sligo Rovers' poor season under Owen Heary continued at Richmond Park last night and it was one of the club's former players who came back to haunt them.
Aaron Greene has been a regular in the St. Pat's side since Keith Fahey left and his brace sealed what was a comfortable victory for the home side.
Sligo have won just won game all season and based on this performance, they have a lot of work to do before that dismal record improves.
A Greene goal in either half followed by Chris Forrester's late strike eased Saints to only their second win in five league outings.
Conan Byrne missed two good chances to open the scoring for Pat's before Greene eventually made their dominance count after 17 minutes.
Ian Bermingham's inch perfect cross was met by the midfielder who rose highest to head the ball into the back of the net.
Greene almost doubled his side's lead but Richard Bush did well to divert his stinging drive wide of the post.
Sligo almost pulled level against the run of play but Conor Malley's stunning save deflected David Cawley's shot onto the crossbar and over.
Pat's thought they were heading into the break two nil to the good but the referee correctly ruled that Ciaran Kilduff had used his hand to score.
There was no doubt about Greene's second goal 10 minutes after the restart however and what a fine goal it was too.
Forrester played the ball through for Greene and he took a touch before firing across Brush and into his far corner.
Sligo's misery was compounded five minutes before the end when Forrster cracked home a low 25-yard strike.
Pat's get their season back on track but for Sligo, it looks like a long road ahead for Heary and his new-look side who are yet to click.
