It all starts in Finland...
Nokia in China
Purpose of using expatriate managers
Expatriate managers deployed due to lack of local technical skill and for dissemination of corporate culture
In 2004, Nokia had 220 expats living and working in China (Pascoe , 2004)
Increasingly important to international business to develop language and cultural understanding for doing business with China
Nokia's Language Policy
Impacts arising from lack of cultural or language skills in China for Nokia:
Lack of respect and co-operation
Loss of empowerment and motivation
Teamwork impacted
Cultural adaptation – culture shock
Isolation from employees, feelings of exclusion
Lack of training – issues meeting performance targets
Specific Nokia issues
◦ Training for expatriates of Chinese culture inadequate (Goodall, et al., 2007)
◦ No specific language training provided (Goodall, et al., 2007)
◦ Rapid changes in Chinese culture due to increasing personal wealth – loss of market share due to lack of cultural understanding (Rein, 2011), lack of expatriate adaptation with employees (Goodall, et al., 2007)
◦ Lack of co-operation and teamwork (Goodall, et al., 2007)

A bright and breezy day greeted the Ferrari Owners' Club for their
annual track day on the full Brands Hatch GP Circuit, one of a
number of track days they organise at various circuits around the
country during the year. The event was well supported by club
members, some of whom were en route to the Le Mans 24 Hour
Race the following weekend, and had support from Hill
Engineering and Kent High Performance Cars. Around seventy
Ferraris partook in the gathering, ranging from a 365 GTB/4
"Daytona" to a pair of 599 GTB Fioranos, whilst there was a pair
of Californias in the paddock, and they also ranged from standard
road models to race prepared examples that run in the UK Ferrari
Challenge series. A particular racing rarity was a 456 GT,
prepared by Foskers, an independent Ferrari specialist based at
Brands Hatch, which looked quite spectacular in black with a
colourful "Cavallino Rampante" and chequered livery.

Bonera stays with Italy
By Nadia Carminati
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Italy coach Marcello Lippi has decided to keep Daniele Bonera in his squad.
Italy coach Marcello Lippi has decided to keep Daniele Bonera in his squad as doubts continue to surround the fitness of Gianluca Zambrotta.
Bonera initially missed out on Lippi's 23-man squad for the World Cup, but made the stand-by list.
The Parma man is now in line to replace Zambrotta in the squad if the Juventus star fails to recover from a thigh injury.
Zambrotta is set to undergo further tests on the injury next week and if the news is bad Bonera is likely to be promoted to the squad.
"Bonera will also be at the Coverciano training ground on Monday, seeing as Zambrotta's condition isn't good," said Lippi.
"We'll know more after Tuesday's tests and will make a decision by June 11."
Meanwhile, Roma captain Francesco Totti and Milan defender Alessandro Nesta are both doubts for the opening Group E game against Ghana on June 12.
The Serie A marksman has yet to find his match sharpness following ankle surgery in February, while Nesta picked up a knock in the friendly match against World cup competitors Ukraine.

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
This tool does an awesome job, but gets only the most recent published magazine, how do I get previous version(s)?
Here is a quick and dirty hack to get older content:
Download the source for this project and build it.
Go to the MSDN Magazine RSS page: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc194384.aspx and click on options. There choose the topics and the year you are interested in. Then
click 'Generate Feed' An RSS xml page opens, just copy the URL of it.
In Visual Studio open this solution and the file: /DataSource/MSDNMagazine/MSDNMagazineRepository.cs, in line 13 is the URL for the feed.
Replace it with the URL you just created, save and build, the run the app. It should now just download the articles matching your criteria.
Thank you for the help.
I did change the code already, and made it parameterized to get the specific month/year I wanted :)
(did same for the Technet editions)
Would you mind posting how you were able to parameterize the code to get a specific month? I also updated the code to parse command line arguments but filtering by month is not a filter criteria that is available, at least not through the query string
of the rss feed. Did you take in all articles and then separate them in the code? Thanks.
Yeah the feed doesn't have an option to accept a particular month/year, so as you mentioned I had to iterate through all the articles and filter in code.
Though had some issues for the month findings as the exact date may vary, so had to add this logic to check
Day as well:
string rawDate = item.SelectSingleNode("pubDate").InnerText.Split(new string[] { "GMT" }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)[0];
var pubDate = DateTime.Parse(rawDate);
if (((pubDate.Month == Month - 1 && pubDate.Day > 15) || (pubDate.Month == Month && pubDate.Day <= 15)) &&
pubDate.Year == DateTime.Now.Year)
Hope this helps.
Beautiful, thank you for posting this.

Hey there!
I'm Sai and this is an attempt to give some order to my hectic life. At least my dramas will be neat and tidy. I'm 16 and live in the U.S (East Coast). I love ice cream, good books, light blue, anime (Since 2008), dramas (Since 2012) and eye candy with a good heart (Something I've only seen in the drama world ~siiigh~). I'm too lazy to write anything else, but feel free to message me! I promise I won't bite~ ♥
What My Ratings Mean:
10: Reserved for my favorite dramas/movies! It may not have been perfect but it's close to my heart. To check whether I was biased or not, check my notes~ ♥
9: It was basically perfect, but it wasn't one of my ABSOLUTE favorites. Possibly worthy of a 10. I would highly recommend it since it definitely has the potential to become someone else's favorite.
8: It was great but there was some room for improvement. I would still recommend it.
7: It had potential, but categories like acting, characters or plot had some major bump. I may recommend it depending on who's asking.
6: Average. Nothing special, but nothing terrible. It was either slow or awkward. Probably wouldn't recommend.
5-1: Anything rated this low is terrible! Would not recommend! For specific explanations, read my notes~
You won't see many 1-5 scores on my "Completed" list, since I usually drop them. On the contrary, you may see some high scores on my "Dropped" list, because I have a habit of leaving dramas unfinished once they've reached a favorable resolution.

This hotel was GREAT! It was across the street from the ferry pier. We stayed in a deluxe suite on the 3rd floor. We had a wrap around balcony which was nice. The room had a large fridge, electric stove, plates, utensils, pots/pans, coffee beans, coffee grinder, and coffee machine. Breakfast was included and was delicious.
The lighting could have been a bit brighter in the main living room. Also, the wifi signal was spotty and was in and out. It wasn't too important as we were there to relax and enjoy the beaches.
The hotel has a bar and we would get fresh fruit smoothies--YUM! The front desk was always helpful in arranging taxis and providing advice on what to see. We also had laundry done upon arrival which is $5 per bag.
The hotel was clean and located at the end of the main street in Bocas town. This was rather nice as there are loud bars playing music at all hours of the night but since we were at the end, it was not an issue. From walking around the town, it seems this was (if not one of) the best hotels in the area. There is a grocery store next door (Super Gourmet) which sells the local organic chocolate--delicious. The rooms comes with a binder of things to do and where to go.
Overall, the hotel was great and we would definitely stay here again!

SENIOR police investigating the brutal gang rape of a 14-year-old girl in Doonside say she was so traumatised by the event it took many hours to get a statement from her.
Superintendent Gary Merryweather said police were relying on the public to come forward with information about the attack and are hunting six men of African appearance who allegedly raped the girl on a pathway in the woody and dimly lit Bill Colbourne Reserve around 11pm on Saturday night.
Is this Sydney's most dangerous park? Leave your comments below.
"Being of such a tender age she is traumatised to an extent that I can't even describe at this stage," supt Merryweather said.
"This act is quite an horrendous act on a young girl 14 years of age, unprovoked and it's quite evidently got serious consequences for the young victim."
Police have confirmed the girl was walking home from a friend's place when the horrifying "30 minute" attack took place.
She "sought refuge" at the home of a family she knew in the area and raised the alarm.
Residents near the park have told The Daily Telegraph they did not hear any screams, however it is understood police have received information about "noises" coming from the area.
The attack came hours after the sexual assault of a 15-year-old girl at an A-League match on the Central Coast, again on Saturday night.
Central Coast police were reviewing CCTV footage in relation to the incident during the match between the Central Coast Mariners and the Melbourne Victory at Bluetongue Stadium in Gosford.
The girl was reportedly with a friend at the game when a man inappropriately touched her.
The alleged incident happened near the ground's eastern exit gate about 7.35pm.
Gosford Chief Inspector Steve Kentwell said that the teen was "very upset" after the incident.
"We are reviewing CCTV, which may have captured it, to identify who the person is," he said. "At this stage we are appealing to see if anyone saw the event."
Police have described the alleged offender as of caucasian appearance with black or brown hair, about 178cm in height, of slim build and wearing a white T-shirt and long blue pants.
Those with information should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Drupal BlogAPI client - new version
Thanks to a suggestion on an earlier post, I decided to extend the infamous VIM blogging client to all content types. It now comes with the capability to edit pages and stories by default, and it's easily extendible to other content types. (though you're restricted to editing the title and body, it won't do custom fields!) I suppose this would make the version number something like 0.03-rc2? Here's the (by now) de rigeur screenshot:
You'll need to apply my patch from http://drupal.org/node/243907 to make file/image uploads work.
To use it, just download the file below, edit it to add your username, password, and URL, and place it in ~/.vim/plugin. (or wherever else you prefer)
Please leave a comment if you end up using this - it's really the only thing that encourages me to continue development!
Amazing! Last task is to push
Amazing! Last task is to push the patch to Drupal7 and hopefully to D6 as a bugfix. I will try that later.

Skip to comments.Fannie and Freddie: Too Complicated To Address?
Posted on 05/11/2010 12:58:34 PM PDT by Biggirl
Rick Santelli of CNBC rips into Rep. Paul Kanjorski,D/PA, on both Fannie and Freddie and the reform of both leaving taxpayers on the hook for the government mortgage giants. The exchange couldnt have come at a worse time for Rep. Kanjorski and Congressional Democrats, because Fannie and Freddie simply wont go away.
(Excerpt) Read more at annem040359.wordpress.com ...
Sounds like the border. Can't be done. Impossible. Won't work. Hopeless. And yet, a law passes, and the sea of illegals begins receding.
More like "Too Dangerous To Some Powerful Careers."
Obviuosly Congress has bitten off more than it can chew....as Arizona is showing the rest of America how to do it...why don't other states take Federal as their own state law...and start doing the jobs the Feds can't because they are hamstrung by special interests and lobbyists.?
Rip him good! The DC gang must be brought into the law or be removed, ASAP.
Kanjorski was the congresscritter that went on C-Span and described the drawdown of $550 BILLION just prior to the election of the "Won" that prompted the initial TARP and swept the "Won" into a win, out of fear of the economy....methinks (see my tagline) the "Won's" sugar daddy might have been a possible "suspect".

Jamesport, the cornfields, vineyards and orchards blend together to form a treasure trove filled with the real gold out East: miles of greenery.
This rural feel is guaranteed to last, thanks to the recent creation of the 225-acre Jamesport State Park. In addition to its woodsy attractions for hikers and birders, the park has one mile of pristine beach frontage on the Long Island Sound. Overbuilding? It won't happen here.
A new Jamesport original is Whoa! Nellie!, a home furnishings store that is so chock-a-block with mid-century items you may think Eisenhower shops there. Another "must" is the historic Jedediah Hawkins Inn, which serves out-of-this-world food and wine in a perfectly restored 1860s captain's home. Jamesport is homey, a place where you feel comfortable right away. What could be better than sitting on the front porch of your Victorian home and waving "hello" to the neighbors? It just feels right.

New York, (PressExposure) May 12, 2009 -- Gods Eye World Outreach, Inc. is making an effort to assist non profit organizations due to the present economic down turn. In a previous press release titled âGEWO TV Responds To The Recession By Offering Broadcast Alternatives for Faith-Based Organizations,â GEWO, Inc. cited job loss and interest rates as some of the reasons for the decrease in giving to faith-based organizations which resulted in many Church foreclosures.
An article written by station Mix 1049 titled âCharity Giving Down Worldwide,â cited statistics from a new GuideStar survey that found US non profits reported an 18 percent decline in donations over the last five months. âGuideStar, a leading source of non profit information in the US, has revealed that the proportion of US charities reporting decreased donations grew 34 percent from January through September 2008 to 52 percent from October 2008 to February 2009.â
Therefore, Gods Eye World Outreach, Inc. is offering free video and banner ad solicitations for non profit organizations. In addition we can receive and distribute donations solicited on our 24 hour Internet TV station, Godseyewo.TV and website http://www.Godseyewo.com. The interactive Internet TV station broadcasts 24/7 from a web portal that hosts over 500 multi-language Internet TV stations with a growing worldwide membership. Access to the Internet TV station is obtained by registering at the website which recently celebrated over 1,600,000 visits during its first year online.
Charitable organizations that want more free exposure should contact GEWO, Inc. through its website. Churches that would like to reduce the cost of their current video broadcast should consider the free broadcast or the alternative broadcast offer explained at the website http://www.Godseyewo.com on the âSpecial Offerâ and âMinistry Partner Servicesâ submenu pages located under the âMember Benefitsâ rollover button.
âIn addition to assisting non profit organizations, we also hope to include Christian Artists who have recorded or produced spiritually significant material and have need of an affordable distribution system for their work. Jesus came to help those in need and gave up his life doing it. Being a Christian means putting your money where your mouth is. Non profits are experiencing some tough times economically and GEWO, Inc. is honored to be able to assist those who are laboring to help others through charitable organizations, outreach ministries and Christian Artists with relevant material that ministers to the body of Christ. Our Christian store provides ecommerce for both the Internet TV station and websiteâ says the founder and chief visionary Bill Sampson.

The Mechanic or ISTP
As an ISTP, your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you deal with things rationally and logically. Your secondary mode is external, where you take things in via your five senses in a literal, concrete fashion. As an ISTP they have a strong drive to take things apart and learn how they work. ISTPs are loyal to their causes and beliefs, and are firm believers that people should be treated with equity and fairness. ISTPs have an adventuresome spirit, they are attracted to motorcycles, airplanes, sky diving, surfing, etc, they thrive on action, and are usually fearless. ISTPs like and need to spend time alone, because this is when they can sort things out in their minds most clearly. They absorb large quantities of impersonal facts from the external world, and sort through those facts, making judgments, when they are alone. ISTPs are optimistic, full of good cheer, loyal to their equals, uncomplicated in their desires, generous, trusting and receptive people who want no part in confining commitments, they are also excellent in a crisis situations. They're usually good athletes, and have very good hand-eye coordination, they are good at following through with a project, and tying up loose ends. An ISTP who is over-stressed may exhibit rash emotional outbursts of anger, or on the other extreme may be overwhelmed by emotions and feelings which they feel compelled to share with people which is usually inappropriately.

The Duty Fulfiller
There are several types of personalities, 16 to be exact. On of the many for this week will be the Duty fulfiller. The Duty Fulfiller is also known as ISTJ which is short for introversion, sensing, thinking, and judgment. When your a Duty Fulfiller your primary way of living is internally, where you take things in via your five senses in a literal, concrete fashion. Your secondary mode is external, where you deal with things rationally and logically. Most Duty Fulfillers are quiet and reserved people who are interested in security and peaceful living, they are also very loyal faithful and dependable.Organized and methodical in their approach, they can generally succeed at any task which they undertake. The ISTJ will put tremendous amounts of effort and time into succeeding in a task they might they see as important to complete as a goal. ISTJs are likely to be uncomfortable expressing affection and emotion to others, However, their strong sense of duty and the ability to see what needs to be done in any situation usually allows them to overcome their natural reservations, and they are usually quite supporting and caring individuals with the people that they love. Under stress, ISTJs may fall into "catastrophe mode" where they see nothing but all of the possibilities of what could go wrong they will berate themselves for things which they should have done differently, or duties which they failed to perform. They will lose their ability to see things calmly and reasonably, and will depress themselves with their visions of doom.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Babbige Early Origins
Devon where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor. The Saxon influence of English history diminished after the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The language of the courts was French for the next three centuries and the Norman ambience prevailed. But Saxon surnames survived and the family name was first referenced in the 15th century when they held estates in that shire. The early references to this name have never been found but we may presume from the numerous farmers and landowners holding the name in Devon in the 19th century that it was from strong west country stock.
Babbige Spelling Variations
Babbige Spelling Variations
Sound was what guided spelling in the essentially pre-literate Middle Ages, so one person's name was often recorded under several variations during a single lifetime. Also, before the advent of the printing press and the first dictionaries, the English language was not standardized. Therefore, spelling variations were common, even among the names of the most literate people. Known variations of the Babbige family name include Babbage, Babbidge, Babidge, Babbige, Babbege and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
For political, religious, and economic reasons, thousands of English families boarded ships for Ireland, Canada, the America colonies, and many of smaller tropical colonies in the hope of finding better lives abroad. Although the passage on the cramped, dank ships caused many to arrive in the New World diseased and starving, those families that survived the trip often went on to make valuable contributions to those new societies to which they arrived. Early immigrants bearing the Babbige surname or a spelling variation of the name include: James Babbidge who settled in New England in 1730; and Richard Babbage who arrived in New York in 1834.

Renesas Electronics Corp. will return to pre-earthquake output levels in September, a month earlier than expected, according to the No. 1 automotive microcontrollers manufacturer. The company had become a key bottleneck in the components shortage in Japan.
The move represents another step towards the recovery of the vehicle industry in Japan that continues to struggle to fix the supply chain. Due to this earthquake, the company was forced to close several plants, including its Naka facility, which has been brought back to mass production in June.
To recover the lost volume, the company shifted some microcontroller production to its Tsugaru plant in Japan and to an affiliate chip manufacturer in Singapore from Naka, Japan.
Last June 1, production of 200-millimeter wafers, the chips most often used in vehicle applications, was resumed. On the other hand, production of 300-millimeter wafers returned to the plant on June 6. Combined with production shifted to other facilities, the company had aimed to restore pre-earthquake production levels of wafers by the end of July.
However, those wafers must still be processed into microcontrollers, which means that the process will not return to normal levels before September, Renesas disclosed.
More than 100 microcontrollers, or MCUs, can go into a vehicle or light truck. These chips are vital to everything from engine control units, electronic parking brakes, and pre-crash seat belts to stability control, onboard entertainment systems and power steering.

mysql -u root -p
-p - requires you to enter password. if no password is need just press enter.
Other than that you should check how the servers is configured (my.ini for example).
Hope I've been helpful somehow but I strongly recommend you reading some basic tutorials. Basic stuff is very important, don't rely on forums for this.

I'm still new to PHP/MySQL but I have found the web utility phpMyAdmin very helpful with both learning SQL commands and "just getting something going" fairly quickly when I did not have time to learn how to something in SQL. This utility will not help you w/your connection in this case, but it can help you see what the permissions are for your various MySQL users, databases, and tables.
It may be worth a look for you.

So I made the trip across the country last Wednesday, (Not as bad as it seems, just a 2 - 2.5 hour trip, small country!!) to the Liffey Valley Shopping centre just outside Dublin. And to what purpose???
Makeup of course ^_^
Inglot makeup to be precise!!
Inglot is a brand I am pretty head over heels about from my experience with them so far & I take great joy in acquiring their products for my sole pleasure!! (And my kit of course)
I was able to sign up to get my pro discount card after showing proof of my profession which get's me 20% off at either of the Irish outlets (The other being in Dundrum) & that is valid for a year.
I got.....
10 pan (1.5g pans) Eyeshadow palette.....
The foundation is the only product I got that I'm not completely happy with so far. Though this is partly my own fault as the girl who was helping me in the shop told me it was more suited to drier skins. I am combination with oily t-zone. What made me buy this though was the colour. It is as near a perfect match as I can get and totally disappears into my jawline where-as the other cream/liquid formulas had a much poorer colour selection.
The consistency of this is very fluid, which irritates me considering it's called a cream foundation. Definitely not thick enough to be called a cream. It does even me out fairly well but does little in concealing my imperfections. Also, it isn't the longest lasting formula in the world either.
What I have been doing to make it work however, is mix it with my Bourjois "Healthy Mix" foundation (#51) which is a tad too grey, about 50/50 ratio, and it gives me a gorgeous coloured concoction that blends in with my skin tone perfectly & sits on the skin nicely for a good few hours anyhow.
I absolutely have to wear the primer under this however ar it does separate & move, particularly around my nose & t-zone, after a few hours wear.
This would almost definitely be a lot more suited to dry skin types of non-oily dehydrated skin.
A really nice foundation non the less.
In regards to the palettes, I was able to create the colour schemes all myself through their 'Freedom System'.....
"Our unique Freedom System allows customers to experiment with countless shades and colour combinations of different face products, giving them the
opportunity to create their own customized colour palette."
For more information go to.....
Final Thoughts???
Inglot makeup is as high a quality as you can hope to get and for a fair price that is very affordable compared to most other popular higher end brands. The colour selection blows most others brands on the market out of the water and their "Freedom system" means you won't have unused colours in your palettes anymore. Also for us professional makeup artists the discount available helps lessen the financial blow even more!!
Hope this was helpful & I'd love to hear your thoughts on it all.
Take care,

This invention relates to telephones used in connection with, e.g., cellular telephone systems, and particularly to the provision of a multiple memory location command language for such telephones.
In accordance with the present invention, a telephone unit includes circuitry to allow various user-programmable memory locations to be addressed. This addressing allows for the convenient retrieval of, e.g., phone numbers, identification numbers, access codes, and keystroke commands.
Automatic multimemory location chaining with customer programmable pause durations facilitates the generation of, e.g., long dialing sequences through the recall of a single memory location. A memory location with recall commands is activated in the same manner as recalling an individual number from memory.
An embodiment of the invention described here is directed to a cellular telephone unit that includes an addressable memory having one or more memory locations. The telephone unit has a keypad on which keystrokes can be entered, and memory addressing circuitry for selectively storing one or more keystrokes as the contents of a specified said memory location in response to a STORE keystroke command sequence entered on said keypad.
Also included in the described embodiment is recognition circuitry for recognizing zero or more subsequences of keystrokes, within a keystroke sequence comprising one or more keystrokes entered on said keypad, as recall commands, each recall command specifies a corresponding memory location.
The described embodiment includes expansion circuitry for expanding each recall command by substituting the keystroke contents of the corresponding memory location into the keystroke sequence in place of the recall command. This substitution is performed repeatedly until the keystroke sequence comprises a final expanded keystroke sequence containing no recall commands.
Signal generation circuitry is included for generating signals in accordance with any zero or more transmission characters in said final expanded character sequence. Any signals, corresponding to any transmission characters in the final expanded character sequence that occur before the first of any zero or more pause characters in the final expanded character sequence, are generated on a signalling channel; signals thereafter are generated on a voice channel.
FIG. 1 is block diagram of a typical mobile cellular telephone and its link with a fixed switching unit. FIG. 2 is a block diagram of some components of such a telephone.
FIG. 3 is a table depicting an example of user-programmable memory locations programmed in accordance with the invention.
FIGS. 4 through 6 are flow diagrams of logical operations programmed for execution by the telephone in accordance with the invention.
Throughout the following detailed description, similar reference numerals refer to similar elements in all Figures of the drawings.
An illustrative implementation of a microprocessor-based telephone system in accordance with the invention is presented here. The illustration uses an automobile cellular phone as an example, but it will be understood by those of ordinary skill that the invention can be implemented in virtually any telecommunications system.
FIGS. 1 and 2 show a typical automobile cellular telephone unit 2 having a unique mobile identification number (MID) stored in a suitable location such as an electrically eraseable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM, not shown). Telephone units of this kind are well known in the art and are described here only in sufficient detail to aid understanding the invention.
The telephone unit 2 includes a handset 4 having a keypad 5; equivalently, the keypad 5 could be located separately from the handset. Also included in the telephone unit 2 are a speaker 6 and a microphone 7, shown as being mounted within the handset 4 but either or both of which could equivalently be mounted apart from the handset, either separately (e.g., in a telephone operator's headset or in wall mountings), or approximately together (e.g., in a walkie-talkie or speakerphone configuration). It will be apparent to those of ordinary skill that if the keypad 5, the speaker 6, and the microphone 7 are all located apart from the handset 4, the handset can be dispensed with.
A transceiver 8, ordinarily built into the telephone unit 2, exchanges signals (via, e.g., an antenna 10) with a mobile telecommunications switching office (MTSO) 12, typically via radiotelephone signals relayed by one of several cell sites 11 that are in turn connected with the MTSO 12 via a landline. The MTSO 12 is ordinarily connected with a telephone company switch unit 12a via a high-capacity landline or similar connection.
Those of ordinary skill having the benefit of this disclosure will appreciate that the signal exchange may utilize any of a wide variety of transmission systems that are equivalent for purposes of this description. These include, for example, radio, electrical-type wire (such as telephone landlines), modulation of light beams (e.g., in fiberoptic networks or laser beams), and so forth. The signal exchange may use one or more of these media alone or equivalently in combination. Whether specific components such as the antenna 10 are needed for a given implementation of the invention will depend in part on the transmission system selected for implementation.
A status display 13 shows the status of the telephone unit 2. The status display 13 typically includes a NO SVC indicator to show that no cellular telephone service is available; and a ROAM indicator to show that the telephone unit 2 is outside its usual service area.
The transceiver 8 and antenna 10 are shown as being separate from the handset 4, but either or both could equivalently be built into the handset. The MTSO 12 could equivalently be another telephone or similar unit if both telephones had appropriate signalling, switching, and call processing capabilities.
The operation of the telephone unit 2 is controlled by logic circuitry 14. The logic circuitry 14 may be implemented in the form of, e.g., a microprocessor which executes program statements stored in a storage device such as a read-only memory, or equivalently by discrete logic components or one or more custom semiconductor chips.
The logic circuitry 14 includes signal generation circuitry designed or programmed to generate signals in response to commands from a user, e.g., as entered upon the keypad 5. Those of ordinary skill will appreciate that the operation of the telephone unit, 2, e.g., in dailing a sequence of numbers, is controlled by the logic circuitry 14 generally as follows, both in the prior art and in connection with the invention. Under control of the logic circuitry 14, the transceiver 8 transmits a cellular control signal to a cell site 11 over a signalling channel. The control signal includes a request that the MTSO 12 dial a specified telephone number and assign a voice frequency or channel for use by the telephone unit 2.
The programming of the logic circuitry 14 includes the capability of recognizing a unique "pause" command in a dialing sequence and of pausing a signalling operation (such as dialing of a number) for a specified period of time when a pause command is encountered.
The telephone unit 2 includes a read-write memory 16, accessible to the user and whose contents will not be affected by telephone power-downs of ordinary duration. For example, the memory 16 may equivalently comprise an EEPROM programmable by the user, a CMOS memory chip, or a conventional RAM with an independent power supply, any of which may possibly be implemented as part of a custom semiconductor chip.
It will be understood that telephones used in typical cellular systems are capable of generating both dual tone multi-frequency (DTMF) signals (DTMF signals produced by Bell telephones are referred to by the "Touch-Tone" trademark) and EIA standard IS-3-D cellular control signals.
It will be understood by those of ordinary skill having the benefit of this disclosure that the specific details of any given implementation may vary considerably depending on the particular microprocessor or other components selected. The selection of components and the arrangement and programming thereof will be a matter of choice by the artisan for the particular application desired.
The logic circuitry 14 includes recognition circuitry designed or programmed to recognize recall commands within a keystroke sequence. As shown in FIG. 3, the memory 16 may be divided into one or more locations designated, e.g., by two-digit numbers 00, 01, 02, 03, and 04 (or equivalently by one-, three-, four-, or greater-digit numbers), limited only by the size of the memory 16.
The logic circuitry 14 is designed or programmed in a conventional manner to include memory addressing circuitry that permits a user to enter characters into any of the memory locations. The characters so entered may include the standard characters on a telephone keypad (the numerals 0 through 9, the asterisk (*), and the pound sign (#)), as well as a recall command (designated in FIG. 3 by R), followed by the memory location to be retrieved, and a pause command (designated by P).
Preferably, the logic circuitry 14 is designed or programmed so that the pressing of a mute key 5A (FIG. 2), during programming by a user of a memory location, causes a pause command to be entered into that memory location. The mute key 5A is of the type found on many cellular telephones while in the conventional memory programming mode. Some telephone units 2 do not have a mute key, but do have a function key such as the function key 5B shown in FIG. 2. On those, the logic circuitry 14 may be designed or programmed so that the function key 5B, followed by an appropriate numeric code to indicate a pause command, may be pressed during user memory programming in place of the mute key.
A pause command entered in either way occupies one character location in the memory 16; a suitable indicator such as the letter "P" may be displayed at the status display 13 to signify the entry of a pause command into the memory 16. Additional pause commands may be entered to entend the delay or a P followed by a number might be used to indicate the length of the delay.
The preferred programming of the logic circuitry 14 also permits a recall command to be entered into a memory location during user programming of the memory location by pressing the function key 5B followed by an appropriate numeric code (to indicate a recall command) and a code to designate one of the above memory locations.
It will be apparent to those of ordinary skill that this programming design takes advantage of common features (the mute key, function key, and memory programming mode) already familiar to users of typical telephone units 2. The actual programming of the logic circuitry 14 to accomplish these functions is conventional and is not described herein.
The logic circuitry 14 includes expansion circuitry designed or programmed to expand a recall command within a keystroke sequence into the contents of a memory location specified by the recall command. FIGS. 4 and 5 show the initial processing of a keystroke sequence entered by a user of the telephone unit 2 by the logic circuitry 14. The Figures depict, respectively, simple iterative and recursive keystroke sequence expander routines for execution by the logic circuitry 14. These routines are illustrative of many equivalent approaches to accomplishing the desired results described here.
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a recall command stored in a user memory location is processed by substituting the contents of the memory location referenced by the recall command for the recall command itself. The contents so substituted may themselves contain a recall command, in which case the recall command is similarly expanded. Processing continues until the keystroke sequence is fully expanded, i.e., until no recall commands remain in the keystroke sequence.
It will be recognized by those of ordinary skill having the benefit of this disclosure that a recursive routine implemented in software may require somewhat less coding, but ordinarily requires more memory, than an iterative routine designed to achieve the same result. For purposes of this invention, the two are equivalent; the selection of which type of routine to use in a given implementation is a matter of choice for the artisan.
The signal generation circuitry is designed or programmed to process a fully-expanded keystroke sequence generally in accordance with FIG. 6. The processing has two modes, a call-in-progress mode and a call-not-in-progress mode.
If a call is in progress, all keystrokes are processed normally, and all characters to be transmitted (transmission characters) are transmitted over the voice channel, e.g., as DTMF tones. On the other hand, if a call is not in progress, all transmission characters up to the first pause command are transmitted on the signalling channel, e.g., as IS-3-D signals; subsequent transmission characters being transmitted on the voice channel, e.g., as DTMF tones.
This call-not-in-progress mode permits a series of recall commands prior to the first pause command, if any, to be used to direct the logic circuitry 14 to construct a signal for the signalling channel; likewise, a series of recall commands can be used to direct the logic circuitry 14 with respect to a signal for the voice channel.
The operation of the logic circuitry 14 can be illustrated by reference to FIG. 3, which depicts specific keystrokes stored in memory locations 01 through 04. In response to a recall and send of location 04, the four recall commands stored at that location are expanded. The number 18008778000 (stored in location 01) is sent over the signalling channel; in response to the first pause command (also in location 01), the telephone unit 2 sits idle for an arbitrary standard pause time (e.g., 2 seconds).
After the first pause times out, the number 07135551212 (stored in location 02) is sent over the voice channel, e.g., as DTMF tones. A second pause is triggered by the pause command in location 03, after which the number 123456789012324 (in location 03) is sent.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art having the benefit of this disclosure that this invention is believed to be capable of application in other situations in which the hardware and software work in substantially the same way to achieve essentially the same result. Some of these situations have been expressly described here (as examples and not as limitations), and others will be recognized by those of skill. Accordingly, this description is to be construed as illustrative only and as for the purpose of teaching those skilled in the art the manner of carrying out the invention.
It is also to be understood that various modifications and changes may be made, e.g., in the shape, size, and arrangement of components, operating steps, and so forth, without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth below in the claims. It is intended that the following claims be interpreted to embrace all such modifications and changes.

text: For Thanksgiving, my husband and I are planning an outing with my parents and his parents. I thought either the Breakers ($85) or the Biltmore ($65) would be a nice place to celebrate an special adult-only holiday. I'd prefer to go to the Breakers because we live in Miami and could make a golf or sight-seeing outing out of heading up to WPB. BUT $85 is about $60 more than I think I can eat. Is this really worth it? Is the Biltmore as nice and at least priced for this planet?

The Breath Trailer (1995)
10 September 1995 Drama 138 mins
This film is inspired by a true incident involving a Japanese girl who went missing in Taiwan (and then was found murdered by a taxi driver) several years ago. Haida, once a famous private detective, is now down and out and running out of reasons to live. One day, while engaging in a group volunteer project to clean up a river, he loses what's left of his will to live and lets the water carry him away. He ends up rescuing a drowning man who alters his view of life totally. Soon he gets a job investigating the mysterious disappearance of a student who sent her mother a cryptic letter, "Wait a bit, Mother. I'm sending my breath. It will arrive soon."

The problem:
I was traying to install Mac Os X Mavericks on my laptop (via Niresh) but I had the instant reboot problem so I used the (xpcm-free -v -x) command to avoid this issue.
But now I have another problem:
After typing the (xpcm-free -v -x) and hiting Enter the program start loading files and executing the specified actions ...
Every thing goes well until it reaches an error message "I think" (bootcachecontrol unable to open /var/db/bootcache.playlist: 2 no such file or directory).
Well the program stops some time at this message however it continues until it reaches a black screen with a mac cursor loading and a white frame appears
with to animated pictures showing some instructions "I think" and the program is sutck at this level but I cannot figure out what they mean or what I should do.
I dont know if the (bootcachecontrol unable to open /var/db/bootcache.playlist 2 no such file or directory) is causing this problem or not.
I searched may forums and many posts but I did not find any thing helpful.
I do really appreciate your help and thanks in advance for responding.
