The Chainsmokers & Phoebe Ryan Team Up For 'All We Know'
Since the top of the year, The Chainsmokers have become pop's breakout act of 2016. By combining pop hooks and alternative influences with left-leaning EDM, the electronic duo have quickly made a name for themselves outside of their novelty single 'Selfie'.
Single after single has become hit after hit for The Chainsmokers. With 'Closer' riding the top of the charts for six weeks straight, the guys have wasted no time coming through with a follow up.
Their latest – 'All We Know' – features indie pop sensation Phoebe Ryan and, more or less, is modelled after 'Closer' and 'Roses'. Andrew is back on vocals, but letting Phoebe (the real star of the track) take the lead. With 'Closer' riding so high, it'll be interesting to see if 'All We Know' can take center stage for a second.
There's nothing too new going on here. It's becoming the same old, same old and we're not that crazy about The Chainsmokers to begin with. That being said, if this is what it takes to bring Phoebe Ryan to a larger audience then so be it!

Re: SPACE CONQUERORS!
Expand Messages
- Just wanted to put the word out that, as of today, I've finished the entire SPACE CONQUERORS! project at my blog. Wow! From 1952-72, with art by Al Stenzel, George Evans, Lou Fine, Alden McWilliams & Gray Morrow, it's been an fun ride (and not a little bit of work cleaning these up).
If anyone has any info about artists I'm missing, I'd appreciate it. Several people have suggested, before I ever started this, that there may be several other artists involved, but at the moment, nobody can quite be sure, because most of them tended to work in the "Johnstone & Cushing" house style.

Both this week and last week, the American Bus Association (ABA), United Motorcoach Association (UMA) and ABC Companies all announced that they are contributing to relief efforts for the victims of the Haiti earthquake.
On Thursday, ABC Companies announced that it will match contributions made by employees, customers and vendors. Last week, the UMA encouraged its members to join them in donating to the American Red Cross and the American Bus Association and its charitable arm, the ABA Foundation announced a joint donation of $25,000 to the American Red Cross.
The news reports that there is still a desperate need for assistance, especially after the recent aftershocks left even more victims homeless, and there are countless venues for donations. Has your operation donated funds, or set up a way for your employees and passengers to do so?
It drives me nuts when people litter. One of my biggest pet peeves is when people throw trash out of their car windows while they're driving. I'm always tempted to honk my horn when I see drivers slyly ditching cigarette butts through their open window. Listen up, people. We see you!
Agencies that use Twitter to respond to users' complaints or answer questions get more positive Twitter reaction and more civil discourse online, according to Lisa Schweitzer the author of a recent study analyzing tweets of public transit agencies. "It's about the marketing potential of social media — a lot of public transit agencies are simply tweeting their problems to the world by blasting out late service announcements. That's not a good use of Twitter," she says. "Transit agencies can influence the tone of the discussion by interacting with patrons online," Schweitzer explains. "It gives people something to respond to, and it reminds people that somebody is listening."
Usually by early January, I will hopefully have taken down the last of our holiday decorations and eaten or given away the remaining sweets that have become a part of my regular diet during the month of December. Then, of course like most people, I'll think about ways I want to improve myself for the coming year. Whether it be exercising more (walking from the parking lot to my office doesn't count), eating less ice cream or managing my email better. The latter practice alone would help improve my efficiency at work immensely. I'm sure you probably feel the same way.
A new National Resources Defense Council (NRDC) study solidifies what the American Public Transportation Association's (APTA) Transit Savings Report has been telling us for years now: riding public transportation can save users money.

text: Bluestar Adds Hot Kiss Bluestar Alliance is pumping up its apparel portfolio with the acquisition of junior brand Hot Kiss. By Whitney Beckett on February 5, 2008 Bluestar Alliance is pumping up its apparel portfolio with the acquisition of junior brand Hot Kiss.Bluestar, which also owns Liz Lange and Harvé Benard, acquired a majority stake in the $100 million Hot Kiss Inc. for an estimated $20 million from founder Moshe Tsabag, who will stay on as director of marketing and merchandising. The design and sales staff also will stay on, according to the company."Moshe has a merchandising eye unlike anyone in the market," said Bluestar chief executive officer Joey Gabbay. "With money behind him, Hot Kiss can really take off."Bluestar predicts Hot Kiss — which sells at retailers including Nordstrom, Macy's, Wet Seal and Dillard's — can grow to a $500 million brand in three years. Bluestar's plan includes expanding Hot Kiss' licensing business, tripling its marketing budget to about $3 million and expanding with international retail stores. The first Hot Kiss store is slated to open in May in Japan, where Bluestar plans to open 20 more stores by the end of 2009. Domestically, there are plans to open a New York and a Los Angeles store by the end of this year."It's one of those rare brands that has been kept clean since the inception 12 years ago," said Bluestar chief operating officer Ralph Gindi. "Now we can take it to the next level."Founded a year and a half ago by Gabbay and Gindi, Bluestar has grown into a $500 million apparel conglomerate. It acquired maternity brand Liz Lange in November for an estimated $50 million, following the purchase of men's brand Ron Chereskin in September, and Harvé Benard in September 2006. Next on the company's wish list is a luxury brand by the end of the year. To access this article, click here to subscribe or click here to log in. load comments blog comments powered by Disqus

Magnetic-field effects in NbSe3

We have performed NMR studies on an aligned, multicrystalline NbSe3 sample at various temperatures. We find conclusive evidence of field-induced Fermi-surface changes at low temperatures, and associate these changes with charge-density-wave (CDW) enhancement mainly localized on the yellow crystallographic site, contrary to expectations, since the low-temperature CDW is mainly localized on the orange site.

>MSNBC's Chris Matthews, repeatedly asked guests" "Wasn't
>it just luck?" that Reagan had any success.
no, chrissy. "Luck" would be getting elected president on
the eve of the Technology Revolution. See Wm. J. Cinton
for details.
They have to believe that it's luck. People like Chrissy and Timmy and Doddering Dan can't fathom that Pres. Reagan was elected becasue people BELIEVED in his message and what he did for the country.
It's the same reason why they can't understnad why John F'n Kerry can't pull away from W in the polls despite the mudslinging going on at Kerry's behest.

For millions of Argentinians, the late Nestor Kirchner, the political strongman who ruled Argentina between 2003 and 2007, was a colossus. He took on the banks, the International Monetary Fund, and George W. Bush. He was an iconoclast, so the myth goes, who dragged Argentina from the flames of its biggest economic meltdown and restored pride to a nation on its knees.
The Palacio de Correos in downtown Buenos Aires is unmistakably a colossus. Built over four separate decades, between 1888 and 1928, the city's old central post office is the biggest, most beautiful example of Beaux-Arts architecture in Argentina's capital. It occupies an entire city block; a robust palace of muscular columns and marbled walls, a once gilded sorting post for correspondence arriving from the old world to the new.
The Kirchners—Nestor and Cristina, who succeeded her husband as president in 2007—handpicked the old postal palace as the site for their legacy project, the biggest cultural center in Latin America, no less. The Kirchners promised to convert the old post office into an arts space that would be as impressive as the Centro Pompidou, a gift to the nation that would bring art to the masses, free of cost.
It would transform a floor space of 115,000 square meters into a state-of-the-art cultural center with capacity for more than 50 separate concert rooms, a museum of modern art, and, to top it all, a central auditorium with seating space for nearly 2,000 spectators. It would be a fitting monument to a political power couple who, in more than a decade of leftist rule, brought deep social and economic change to Argentina.
In May 2015 this grand vision became reality. Cristina Kirchner, now a widow following her husband's sudden death, opened the brand new Centro Cultural Kirchner (Kirchner Cultural Center) to great fanfare and greater controversy. Close to tears, she dedicated it to her late husband's memory.
The lavish budget for the conversion had spiraled so much it rivalled the cost of major contemporaneous work on Rome's Coliseum. But Cristina's supporters didn't mind; they believed the project to be a loving homage to her late husband. Critics, however, called it pharaonic folly, a vanity project befitting the couple's 12 years in power.
The new cultural center polarizes opinion. In fact, it has become a symbol of Kirchner rule itself.

My partner and I crane our necks upwards at the building's façade, all weighty classicism and as big as a cliff-face. We climb a pile of steps. There are three sets of open double doors. We choose the ones on the left, where two members of La Cámpora, the militant youth wing of Cristina Kirchner's political party. Remunerated staff at the cultural center are in the pay of the Argentinian state, and according to local media reports a slice of their state-funded wage is funneled back to the political party Cristina heads. (Argentinians commonly refer to Ms. Kirchner by her first name.)
One of the guards, whose crimpled t-shirt is emblazoned with the Kirchner brand, informs us that the entrance is at the next doorway. There, a second foot soldier welcomes us to the Centro Cultural Kirchner and a young man tells us about the center and its exhibitions.
Hero-worship informed the designation of the old postal palace as a legacy site. Nestor Kirchner's father spent his working life in the employ of Argentina's postal service. For Cristina, it was her political heroine, Eva Perón. In the 1940s the charismatic former First Lady ran a charitable foundation from an office at the old postal palace.
The cultural center preserves Evita's office in-situ. Its floors are crafted from French oak, the walls lined with silk cloth. From a singularly luxurious space, Evita sat in the manner of a medieval queen, dispatching gifts and monies to the poor and destitute, while receiving hundreds more in person each day.
José María Areilza, the Spanish Ambassador of the day, wrote in 1946:
It was non-stop clamor. A racket of hundreds of people waiting for hours to be received by Her: workers' commissions, union representatives, disheveled village women with children… a gaucho family… peasants… secretaries, senators, deputies, governors, the president of the Central Bank. In the midst of this apparent chaos, this noisy, confusing, even insane bazaar, Evita heard the most diverse petitions.
Today, a corner of the office conserves letters piled from floor to ceiling, once posted by Argentinians to Evita in solicitation of her beneficence. Hundreds of packaged gifts—children's toys, tea sets, bicycles, Christmas cakes—are stacked as if ready to be dispatched in return.
On an oak desk there rests an original letter handwritten by the First Lady to a young schoolgirl. In neat script, Evita congratulates the girl on her exam results and by way of reward encloses holiday vouchers and train tickets to the Córdoba sierras. This was Evita the venerated; protector of the poor.

It is almost certain the Kirchners chose the postal palace because of its links to Evita and General Juan Domingo Perón. A vein of populist rule runs through Argentina's modern history, bookended by the Peróns in the 1940s and the Kirchners in the modern day.
Together, the Kirchners became the most powerful political couple in Argentina since the 1940s. Nestor was a pragmatic like the old General; Cristina often invokes Evita; so much so that her critics call her the Botox Evita, an allusion to a president who is rumored to have undergone cosmetic surgery but also someone who, her critics say, is a fake. They point to Cristina's tendency to pontificate on poverty standing at the dispatch box, all dazzling jewels and luxurious hair extensions, while at the same time overseeing an 800 percent leap—according to figures released by Kirchner herself—in the value of her family's wealth during 12 years in power.
But there are key differences. In 1955, a military coup ousted the general. In a democratic era free of the military coup, the Kirchners' cycle has been permitted to reach an exhausted end. Only not before creating deep divisions.
To understand the violent birth of that cycle, one must go back to the past and to the devastation visited upon Argentina in 2001 and 2002. At that time Argentina suffered the biggest economic meltdown in its history, when the country's financial system was crushed under a mountain of foreign debt and austerity programs imposed on it by the International Monetary Fund.
I was a reporter in Buenos Aires at the time and witnessed the struggles for the first time. A review of my notes finds the following excerpts:
Live TV footage: On a highway, a truck carrying livestock to market is stopped and overturned by men, wielding machetes. The men unload the cattle, which they proceed to slaughter at the roadside. Wives and children flee with raw cuts of beef.
An immigrant Chinese man and supermarket owner stand in tears outside his business. Looters strip his store and exit carrying everything from tinned food to the man's tinseled Christmas tree. (A reporter from La Nación newspaper later attempted to track down the weeping Chinese man. It turns out he took his own life shortly after the episode I described in my notebook.)
Police fire live ammunition on protestors in the main plaza in Buenos Aires, killing dozens in a single afternoon.
President Fernando de la Rúa flees the Pink House by rooftop helicopter lest he be lynched at roadside.
Then—so the story goes—came the Kirchners to drag Argentina phoenix-like from the flames of its earlier collapse. "Never again," Nestor Kirchner said in his inaugural speech. He promised a new model, which would defend Argentina's economic sovereignty and end wealth iniquity.
At the Kirchner Cultural Centre, the Nestor Kirchner Salon celebrates this narrative. The great myth, critics say. In video clips we see Nestor Kirchner's inaugural address. "The expression of the popular will," he says "is a moral obligation." Here is Kirchner announcing the cancellation of Argentina's debts before the hated IMF. There is Kirchner standing up to George W. Bush at a regional summit, after rejecting a proposal for a free-trade zone of the Americas.
The Kirchners were never bad at vulgarity
Much of this is true, though the display strays into vulgar vainglory. (The Kirchners were never bad at vulgarity: Cristina once urged Argentinians to forgo the beefsteak for fish, hinting the latter had spiked Nestor's virility.) Nestor Kirchner was indeed a political titan who restored growth to Argentina. But there were fortuitous factors. Not least of which was China's entry into the World Trade Organization at the end of 2001, which saw global demand for agricultural commodities explode. The boom funded lavish spending by the Kirchners on welfare and price-subsidy programs.
It is tempting to view the full power of the Kirchner state as on display at the center. It is not just the gargantuan size of this place, itself a reminder of the omnipotence of centralized government. It is in the almost total absence of visitor signs. Where one might expect to read a sign, two T-shirted loyalists are at hand to advise where to go. Where a locked door might suffice, the doorway is left open and two La Cámpora activists are stationed to remind the entrance to this exhibition is a further 10 meters along.
Jobs for the boys and girls, one might say. The chaotic organization of a new cultural center with teething problems, others suggest. Yet that the new cultural center is massively overstaffed is undeniable, and this has sparked fears of there being something much more insidious at play.
Critics call the center a metaphor for a less appealing aspect of Kirchner rule: the disempowerment of the individual before the state; the creation of a sense of dependency, they say; the subtle curbing, even, of one's free will. Either way, it is maddening to be subject to instructions every three minutes (or so it seems) by well-meaning staff. One emits a silent scream. The instinctive desire to follow one's own path meets only frustration.

Alpharetta, GA (PressExposure) November 11, 2009 -- UniBook is proud to announce the publication of Zurishaddaiâs book, The Republic of Marz.
The Republic of Marz is the second in the Martianz Trilogy â a story of colonization, exploration and of human discovery. The story begins with an apocalyptic meteor shower on the Earth; or, as Zurishaddai refers to it, âthe third planet.â
The story then details the surprising discoveries made by the Martianz as they journey back to their home planet and discover the true origin of the species aboard the Mayflower 3.
The Martianz Trilogy is part science fiction and part political and technological commentary. It blends the utopian concepts of modern science fiction with the harsh reality and precariousness of the lives we lead every day. The reader is provided much more than a litany of technological marvels to wonder about; instead Zurishaddai provides a new perspective on our basic assumptions about freedom, religion, and what itâs all about.
The mysterious Zurishaddai is an author of exceptional talent, and UniBook is proud to play a part in bringing his artistic and technological vision to the public through the publication of this series of books.

As per usually, it has taken me at least a month to get on here and write again... Don't judge. ;) I'm gonna post about boys... since it's like the only thing anyone has talked about to me in the past week! I found out yesterday that my mom had kissed the exact same amount of boys as I have at my age!!!- This was probably the best news of my life until she said, and I quote, "hmm.... well, when I was your age... let's see... I was engaged to your dad... so let me count" REALLY!! That's what happened! And now, I've officially one up'ed her, and while I am blissfully single- I'm feelin the pressure! It's real, and it's fun... but it's not real fun. <-line from Elizabeth Town- GREAT movie! Anyways, can't be a utah girl without commenting about single life utah girl style!
Tomorrow I'm gonna be photoshooted to be in the new USU admissions campaign... should be interesting- I'll let you know how it goes! What to wear....???
Next time I'll tell you about my spring break trip to Hawaii with my rommie Dawnica! :D

I'm a 'Vietnam Era' veteran who joined during the atrocious U.S. war against that country. I made it clear during flight training at Pensacola that I wasn't "suitable" for combat duty. I was fortunate that my engineering degree qualified me for an Aeronautical Engineer Duty Officer assignment with the Naval Air Propulsion Test Center facility in Philadelphia for the duration of my active duty obligation. Veterans For Peace is an outstanding organization of great activists who are repulsed by the senseless consequences of war. The VFP leadership is both dynamic and inspirational. VFP's objectives and membership reflect my values and make me proud to be a Life Member of VFP.
I am a Vietnam veteran with severe PTSD, and Veterans For Peace provides a place that I can go and feel understood and accepted. We have veterans from the "War on Terror" (i.e., the unending series of wars) the Gulf war and Korean war, and even WWII. We may disagree on some topics, but we support each other none-the-less.
We also work together as a group and with others from the Peace and Justice community to educate the public, especially youth, regarding the true and usually hidden costs of war on so many levels. We also work to expose the militarization of local law enforcement: the direct result of our war-based economy and culture.
Veterans for Peace lends its voice of authority to the peace movement. They rock!
One of the best nonprofits there is. PEACE is what this country desperately needs, & Veterans for Peace has been there. They know the opposite of PEACE, so they can be trusted by the public.
I have been a member of the San Francisco chapter of VFP since March 2012 and host a weekly radio program dedicated to the concept of peace. I believe that peace can be achieved and one of the most effective ways of influencing the behavior of others is to set a good example. Be the change we wish to see and others will follow suit.
When I fist arrived on the scene I expected to find a group of forward thinking veterans who are working together to make San Francisco and the world a better place, but instead found myself embroiled in an unnecessary war over the control of resources available at the SF Veterans Building (money, free office space & people), with VFP leading the charge. While the monthly VFP meetings condemn the tactics the government utilizes to achieve their ends, they themselves are riddled with deception, hidden agendas and conflicts of interests, justifying their means with righteousness and self-adoring entitlement while inflicting psychological violence on fellow Veterans.
Where there once was a community of thousands of veterans, there is now only a few dozen at best and the ongoing hostilities and dysfunctional attitudes keep veterans away. From my perspective, this chapter of VFP is indirectly responsible for dozens, if not hundreds of veteran suicides and attempts, because of the lack of positive community. Inside the War Memorial Veterans Building I have opened a museum dedicated to the concept of peace, not with the help of VFP, but in spite of its lack thereof. In summary....
There are 3 P's for some in Veterans For Peace,
and ironically Peace isn't anywhere to hear or see.
The 38,000 ft. of the WMVB is their golden fleece,
a fight lasting forever is one they fight with glee.
The first P is for Protest and to thirst for it flagrantly,
for every protest there is a themed marching parade,
and an after-party to celebrate their perceived victory,
the fights must go on with each one custom made.
The second P is for Parties at which they crave conformity,
spending on them to attend a regular basis is a must.
Standing up to take the honorary bow as if deservedly.
a celebration for themselves and the few they trust.
The third and last P of VFP stands for the marching Parade,
pretending to be the war heroes they wish they could never be,
remembering feeling great during the short boot-camp charade,
and hate the fact that it felt so good being active in the military.


text: I am loving my Fascinate! Just wanted to start a discussion about what people though about its build quality and how delicate or how much babying this phone needs! Actually I'm going to ask something else here too. When you guys get a new phone how do you guys treat it? I think I am a little overboard with my new phones. I take care of them all the time. I treat them like glass. Too much pressure and it would break. But I am pretty sure they aren't like that. Like today, my gf was looking at it and tried to put it down on the carpet where I was sitting but couldn't reach it so she dropped it about 3 inches. Even though it has a body glove on I kinda freaked out a little. What about you guys?

Big barbel dominate at Lingmere
The vast shoals of carp shut up shop during the latest event at Lingmere Fishery but Dave Woodworth still enjoyed a memorable day out after he netted seven barbel for a winning 30lb 10oz.
After selecting peg 5 on the Match Lake at the Wirral complex, the Wallasey Tackle Box rod decided to use the waggler with double red maggot for silvers but was given a shock when a 7lb 14oz barbel fell for the approach early.
Several others showed up during the rest of the day to help him fend off the competition of John Powers who needed just 11lb 8oz for second spot.

Barefoot Lady in private sale to Japan interests
GRADE 2 winner Barefoot Lady has been sold to an established Japanese breeder in a private deal handled by Goffs.
The Richard Fahey-trained filly was offered for sale by her owner Norman Steel at last month's Goffs November Breeding Stock Sale but she was bought back for €425,000.
Barefoot Lady, a daughter of Footstepsinthesand, has won five races, including the Group 3 Nell Gwyn Stakes last year and the Grade 2 Canadian Stakes at Woodbine in September.
Her new owners have not decided whether she will continue racing or be retired to the breeding shed.
Goffs director Joey Cullen said: "Barefoot Lady was a tough and admirable race filly who gave her owners Norman and Helen Steel many fantastic days on the racetrack.
"She was a star attraction at last week's November Sale and while her price remains confidential I can confirm that it would have been the highest price of the week.
"Many vendors were delighted with the results that they achieved last week and the Goffs team is overjoyed that there post-sale efforts have achieved such a good result for Mr and Mrs Steel, who we thank for putting their faith in Goffs to achieve such a good price for a high-class filly."

Are you one of those people who thought that Tanya Donelly's '90s band Belly called it quits far too soon? Well, you are in luck, because the band has just announced—in one giddy fell swoop—a reunion tour this summer. Oh, and the band's official site hints at new material. Oh, and there's new merch!

text: I'm slowly expanding my business and would like to get away from my "McGuire Mowing" name that obviously just sounds like I mow lawns. I'd like to make the change this winter before I begin advertising and really expanding. In the past, I've always just been word of mouth. I'd like something to the effect of McGuire Seasonal Services but another local LCO has the "Seasonal Services" already. So, I'd like some ideas that reflect a similar name but obviously not a rip off of my competition. I don't want to upset my competition or look like I can't be creative. My primary services are mowing, cleanups, yard work, snow plowing, caretaking. Any suggestions?

Oh boy..
From that angle, it looks like (s)he's wearing a cape. SUPER LAMAR MILLIE!!!
someone is beyond bored!
:lol: Nice artwork man. :chuckle:
i will die before a cat sets foot in my house
I suspected Lamar was a pu$$y.
Sucks for you
So? My cat's name is Soprano. Name him after the show and you can't mess with him.
Ozzy rules!!
yeah you got me...i'm really missing out
I'm with you sir, I hate cat's with a passion. I'm more of a dog person.
I never pegged you for "that guy." Hmmm
My cat has a messege for you
if by "that guy" you mean not a cat person guilty as charged...
Got to admit that's funny Hoops.
I was just trying to give you a chuckle. Relax. I didn't say "everyone must love cats."
yeah i know...and i was just saying i will be dead before one sets foot in my crib...
C'mon man, cats are really quite sweet creatures
if you know how to season them properly.
Cool Animal Planet vid of a cat vs. a gator. Even Hoops would like this cat, lol.
I sometimes put my Dolphin's hats and gear on my dog. I made an old sweatshirt into a Phin's coat for my dog so he will stay warm out in the snow and cold here in Colorado.
im a huge cat person.
And a Magic fan.
Good man.
It worked out well. But what is wrong with the people. Nobody chased the cat away. LOL.
Such photo skills. lol awesome.
Dogs drool, and CATS RULE!!!
Where did you buy the outfit??
Early Happy Hour for Christmas, and you cost me part of a beer on that one. Well worth it. LMAO, and you have 7 others here wanting to buy you a drink. WELL DONE!
Guys can like cats too! I think they're pretty rad and funny, but also love dogs.
Cats are awesome! Though i'd never try and dress mine up in a jersey, i already know how that scenario turns out.
Believe me, if I had a big back yard I'd have a dog. Probably will in the future. We're house hunting currently.
Mil would love some grass too, so she could go average 4.0 yards a pop outside.
"So you like shallow animals? You see Greg, cats don't sell out the way dogs do. They make you work for their affection"
Ozzy rules!!
I prefer my *****cats garment free
We got 3 of our own, and 2 who adopted us. Munchkin was abandoned by Mom, and had to be tube fed every 4 hours to survive, scrawniest little kitten you ever will see, as well as the ugliest duckling. Now 7, and a swan.
Her sister Cha Cha is a gorgeous cat, and Rocky thinks he's part puppy He showed up on our doorstep screaming for food. Little did we know what we were in for. He's 1 year old, and about 20 pounds, while being as healthy as healthy can be.

User review on Volkswagen Vento written by Chetan on 23 May 2015
Chetan's review on Volkswagen Vento Comfortline Diesel AT
Year of Manufacture : 2014 | Driven no. of Kms. : 33000
- Pros: High reliable engine and accessories. Never have to worry about brakedowns
- Cons: No much difference in styling between models
In my view maintenance of this Vento is not a problem at all. With service schedule of yearly once, you never have to worry about of frequent visit to service center. Many say its difficult to mainten this car due to non availability of service centers or lesser number of authorised service ceters. I agree with the part of leser service centers but the quality is so genuine that you harldly visit the service center in between standard service schedules. There is sense of uniqueness in this car withrespect to performance and features. However only limitation I find with this car is about its styling. You can see similarity in almost all models of VW. A plane and decent styling makes it look dull in the crowd of cars. Volkswagen must come up with trendy cars in this segment.

A website illustrating a huge collection of TV, Video, Audio, test gear, computing, phones and cameras. Mostly items from the 1980s-90s which are not considered valuable yet, but rapidly disappearing. There are some 1960s televisions including a very early colour one, reel to reel video recorders, valve audio receivers and test equipment.
I think the owner of this website may be from the Netherlands. There is certainly a lot of Philips equipment in the collection!

Sounds possible, but is it really?
If everything wants to talk to you when will you possibly have the time to listen to your own thoughts?
That's just the obvious. I'm sure we can think of more...
The real point though is about belief vs. understanding.
Understanding takes work. It's much easier to follow a beautifully paved path :)

The Obama administration is pushing to ban Social Security beneficiaries from owning guns if they lack the mental capacity to manage their own disability payments — a move the NRA is calling the "largest gun grab in American history."
The push is intended to integrate data for the first time from the Social Security Administration into the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), OutdoorHub reported. Beneficiaries who have been declared incompetent to manage pension or disability payments and assigned a fiduciary could then potentially lose their right to bear arms.
The move could affect as many as 4.2 million adults who fall under that category, The Los Angeles Times reported.

Wiki Categories
Only For Women
The best vibrators by category
The time was when you could walk into your local sex store (long before the days of online sex stores) and ask for the best vibrator. The guy behind the counter would probably point to a choice of three or four vibrators and say 'You can have this one, this one or this one'.
Today, the choice has simply exploded, there are more categories than there were ever vibrator choices. Pick on any online store and you will see the way the vibrator market has segmented itself into several different sections.
This is what makes it so tough to decide on the best vibrators. The best adult toys are the ones that do the job for you based on what particular zone you are trying to stimulate.
For example, there are Classic vibrators, rabbit vibrators, clitoral vibrators, clitoral stimulators, egg vibrators, panty vibrators, g-spot vibrators, waterproof vibrators, mini vibrators...and there are more categories besides.
Then once you start to home in on each category there are at least 5 pages each displaying 30 different vibrators – and let's not forget, that is from just one online sex store. There are dozens of online sex stores. Once you go to other sex stores and while you will see some duplication, there will also be several different vibrators you have never seen before. So you can see how difficult it is to decide which are the best sex toys, you have to decide by category.
Rabbit vibrators: Ultimate Jessica Rabbit Vibrator
The highly recommended Ultimate Jessica Waver is considered one the best vibrators if rabbits are your thing. It features what's known as wave technology to produce a motion that runs up and down the shaft with the end result that you come like a runaway train. A side-mounted rabbit stimulator delivers clit stimulation too. This vibrator has 9-speed wave motions and an independent clit stimulator which provide 81 orgasmic combinations to choose from.
Classic vibrators: Lelo Gigi
From Swedish luxury vibrator manufacturers Lelo, the Lelo Gigi's five pre-programmed pleasure modes and completely silent vibrations deliver discreet, deep sensations both internally and to the G-spot. The unique shape also allows you to stimulate the clitoris. It's also fully rechargeable.
Clitoral vibrators: Aqua Tonque Clitoral Vibrator
This jelly clitoral vibrator has been designed to provide hours of pleasure and can work as a nipple stimulator too. This 8.5" jelly covered clitoral vibrator is also waterproof.
G-spot vibrators: Opus Vibrator and Massager
Described as the ultimate gift for any woman. The 180 degree U-shaped Opus from Close2U delivers a powerful all-round experience. The curved tip massages the g-spot while the shaft massages the vaginal walls. In addition, as the lower part of the vibrator comes in contact with you externally the clitoris receives stimulation too.
Luxury vibrators: Lelo Insignia Soraya Rechargeable Vibrator
Another vibrator from luxury sex toy manufacturer Lelo, credited with making some of the best vibrating sex toys on the market. Soraya is the world's finest dual-action vibrator, it offers multiple pleasures in a sleek and seductive design. Individual motors are housed in each pleasure point and the flexible stimulator adapts freely. Made with the smoothest body-safe silicone, Soraya is totally waterproof and boasts a three-button interface that controls vibration intensity through 8 variable modes.
Ladygasm is a great place to start when shopping for sex toys for women. Ladygasm stocks a wide range of vibrators, some from top end manufacturers such as Doc Johnson and Swedish Exotica, and others from their own extensive range of quality vibrators. Check them out.

sort by best latest
There are several ways.
First, classes + books (the formal way)
Secondly, through entertainment like TV, songs etc. (informal and more fun), but do take note that you may not be able to learn correct grammar etc.
Lastly, always be courageous in speaking to others in the new language. Practice makes perfect!
The best way to learn foreign language is to take a class. Why? The professor will teach you all the basic that you cannot learn anywhere else. Without knowing the basic, you will not understand anything.
It is hard to learn by yourself as you will not understand how the language is structured and how to say it right.
The second method is to travel to a specific country with the language you want to learn. Then you would participate with people around you and listen to what they say. Over time, you will actually be speaking their language without knowing it.
Lastly, just hang out with foreign friends. They will teach you the language. This is very effective. Interact with them. You will pick up some :)
Well, for me i would make friends with a person who knows the language and have him/ her teach me so that I can pick it up fast.
Usually a study course. To learn to speak the language as apposed to just being able to read it you need some form of Audio, a native speaker is the best person to learn from but you can start out even by doing an online course which has audio or check out your local book stores as you can often buy Language DVD's online. In the past when I've studied a language I've then travelled to the relevant country and practiced using it when shopping etc.
1. Books and Websites
(http://www.learnhebrewpod.com) if you want to learn Hebrew
2. Practice and speak it as much as you can
3. Music

First the hardware:
The iphone used to offer cutting edge technology, but has lagged behind with the latest revision.
Screen resolution is inferior to current android and windows phone competition.
The camera is an improvement over the 4S (which was pretty good), but is unlikely to top what Nokia offers in their 920.
Apple still maintains a lead with their GPU (which gives you games like the one shown in the press conference today) but the competitors are catching up. The cpu's are essentially equal so there isn't much to say there.
Batterylife? According to the spec sheets it should be bested by the Galaxy SIII, Lumia 920 and the recently announced motorola droid razer maxx HD.
LTE phones have been available since early last year. And apple has only added it now. They also have decided to skip over NFC for the foreseeable future.
The only thing apple leads in from a hardware perspective is design, but people buy their phones to do things, not just stick up on a pedestal and admire from afar. And if you don't want your phone to show wear and tear you are likely to buy a case for it, which diminishes the design.
Sales? They got outdone by samsung in august:
So Now we move on to software. While android has improved quite a bit over the past few months, they still have trouble with the integration of software to their cutting edge hardware.
This is where windows phone comes in. While ios is a very good OS, it gets stale rather quick. WP8 allows you to customize the OS to suit your preference. Instead of having grid after grid of static icons you can customize the home screen with your preferred applications which update in real time. And while apple has built up its own ecosystem it isn't in the position MS is to unite computers with mobile devices (smartphones/tablets) and the home theater (xbox) through their cloud services.
All of this is a very potent threat to apple. google and anybody else who has a hand in one of these areas.

Back in 2006 I launched a blog where I pretended to be Apple CEO Steve Jobs. My alter ego, "Fake Steve," had a good run, but I shut
it down in January 2011 when it became apparent that Jobs was in poor health. Nevertheless, even now, I'm constantly wondering what Steve would think about whatever Apple is doing.
This week it's the iPhone 5. Everyone pretty much accepts that Apple will introduce it, and there have been so many leaks that everybody pretty much seems to know what it's going to be. Word is it will look a lot like the last two versions of the iPhone, except a bit thinner and a bit taller, with upgraded guts and a refreshed operating system.
If that's correct, I imagine Steve is not happy. First of all, he'd be furious about the leaks. Steve liked surprising people.
More important, is this really the best we can expect from an outfit that claims to be the most innovative company in the world? This is the sixth version of the iPhone, and the user interface still looks almost exactly like the original iPhone in 2007.
The hardware on the iPhone has been the same for two years, since the iPhone 4 and 4S were virtually identical.
Now, having had two years to plot and scheme, Apple's renowned designer Jonathan Ive has replaced the tiny 3.5in (8.9cm) screen with a slightly-less-tiny 4in (10.2cm) screen? Wow. Knock me over with a feather. What do you do with the rest of your time, Jony?
This is what happens when a company is too cheap to invest in research and development. Did you know that Apple spends far less on R&D than any of its rivals - a paltry 2% of revenues, versus 14% for Google and Microsoft?
No wonder the Android platform, where new models appear every week, now represents 68% of the smartphone market, up from 47% a year ago, while Apple slid to 17% over the same period.
In case you're bad at maths, let me work that out for you: Android's market share is now four times that of Apple. Four times!
Worse, despite all its bluster about innovation, Apple has become a copycat, and not even a good one. Why is Apple making the iPhone bigger? To keep up with the top Android phones.(Phones that, mind you, Apple fanboys ridiculed at first.)
The problem is that the new iPhone won't really give you much more screen real estate than the old one. Worse, it looks ridiculous.
Apple also has become a copycat in tablets. Jobs once said the iPad's 9.7in screen was the perfect size, and smaller tablets made no sense. Then the Android camp had success with 7in tablets like Amazon's Kindle Fire and Google's Nexus 7, and now Apple supposedly will announce its own smaller iPad in October. Talk about thinking different!
What else is there to complain about?
Um, Siri still doesn't work. The oft-rumoured Apple TV doesn't exist yet, presumably because media companies won't let Apple take over their business.
The latest batch of Apple ads were such embarrassing garbage that Apple had to take them down from YouTube. Apple's new guy in charge of retail launched a plan to lay off workers and boost profits, then had to walk it back when people pointed out that this was stupid.
The big $1bn (£650m) patent "victory" over Samsung made Apple look like a bully, and also raised awareness of how good Samsung's latest products are.
Last month, Samsung's Galaxy S3, with its huge 4.8in screen, outsold the iPhone 4S in the United States, the first time any smartphone has outsold the iPhone in the States.
Apple got where it was by taking bold risks. Now it has become a company that copies others and plays it safe.
A company that once was run by a product visionary now is run by a number-cruncher - chief executive Tim Cook, whose claim to fame involves running an efficient supply chain and beating ever lower prices out of Asian subcontractors and component suppliers.
To use a car analogy, six years ago the iPhone was like a sexy new flagship model from BMW or Porsche. Today it's a Toyota Camry. Safe, reliable, boring. The car your mom drives. The car that's so popular that its maker doesn't dare mess with the formula.
Apple seems less interested in blowing people away than it is in milking profit out of the existing lineup. At this Cook is doing marvelously well.
Sales are booming and will top $150bn this year, with net profit margins of nearly 30%. That's incredible in any business, but qualifies as a miracle when you're selling consumer electronics hardware.
Apple has more than $100bn in cash. Its market value of $632bn makes it the biggest company in the world, bigger than any company in US history.
That's great for Apple's shareholders. But for customers, who cares? In terms of products, Apple has become the one thing it should never be. Apple has become boring.
Somewhere up there, I can hear Steve screaming.
I agree with quite a bit of this actually. I know Apple can't reinvent the wheel every time. But I really think they have struggled to play catch up and differentiate itself from the Galaxy S3, which now, is arguably the better handset. And I never thought I'd be saying that.

Android, fragmented. Not sure what that really means, I used to have to run disk defrag on my Windows xp computer, is that the same? (I haven't run defrag on my phone, but it's only been running with a restart for 2 weeks now).
It would be easier to list what phones haven't been 720p since 01/01/2011 than which ones aren't besides the iPhone. But Apple still hasn't used that commonplace tech and the newest will interpolate images to less than 1:1.
I like a phone that just works out of the box, and with my 5th android purchase since 2009, I've yet to come across one that hasn't just worked. They all have done just fine and I could complain more about network coverage and apps not being updated fast enough, like Hulu. Android= Linux based and doesn't suffer from fragmentation though, but some folks talk like iPhone never has any problems. And with new suppliers for chips and displays, everyone just thinks this new iPhone iteration will just work without any problem, and I hope for the price they are right, but nobody knows for sure how this new stuff is going to play with different apps and it may bite them for doing what they have done in changing nearly all their suppliers. Sharp already ran into problems with the display, but they have two other suppliers for displays. Now what happens when one display doesn't play nice with something a person tries to do?
For a forum that talks so much about failure rates on consoles, nobody mentions the high failure rates of the past iPhones within the 14-day period. But neither does Apple.

^^ By fragmented they mean that the hardware varies a lot from phone to phone. Different spec-wise.
I've used an iPhone for 3 years now and spent a lot of money in apps over this period. Abandoning that much money and personalisation is not easy. It's unthinkable.
Apple has to do a really bad phone to make me change to an other OS. They really have to piss me off. And even the lack of LTE in Sweden is not enough atm.

As far as saying the "same thing" etc., that's just wrong. It'd be kinda like saying that the S3 is a new design from Samsung, ya know; different processor, ram, updated OS, updated hardware. Kinda seems a lot like the "not updated" iPhone 5.

The S3 only beat the 4S in sales because the 5 was launching a month later.....the 5 will overtake the S3.Wii # 8752-0092-2306-9612PSN ID : pez555
09-14-2012 #9017How is the iPhone 5 lagging? When was it about spec sheets being higher than others?
And last I checked, apple was all about the specs, they just used their own words/marketing lingo to suit their advertising style (emphasizing the whole experience), rather than hard specs.
Competing against which phones? It's a better resolution than thousands of android phones.
S3 battery life is crap most of the time. Period. Spec sheets are variable stats, that's about it. I can keep my iPhone 4 off charging for two days. Using the S3 the same usage time, etc., it wouldn't last all day at all. Comparing the battery times listed over the phones that these android manu's are doing is a bit laughable to say the least.
Don't see how them putting LTE in now, instead of earlier when the networks still haven't really launched that much coverage, is anything to use as a negative. NFC? Yea, that's a feature that is a must have lol.
And I wouldn't be surprised if apple integrates NFC into the 5s. Sometimes you get the feeling that apple holds back on certain things just to make it easier for them to impress with the next revision.
Oh please... iPhone 4s was the best selling in those areas since Oct last year... now in AUGUST, just this one month, you want to tout S3 being a best seller?
Android software is so fragmented it's unbearable at times. Add in the carrier modifications, lack of updates, etc. Let's just leave it at that.
Windows phones, to do what? What can you even do, application wise, that won't be present in any other smartphone... oh I know. Be supplied with a decent amount of content past Windows.
Secondly, expanding on the hardware side, its pretty clear that the 920 outdoes the iphone 5:
But back to your windows comment, how is that a bad thing?
They are linking windows, office, xbox and windows phone 8 together. Since windows 8 and WP8 share a kernel, that makes cross development of programs/apps much easier and quicker that before. I wouldn't be surprised if the next xbox OS is also based on the Windows 8 kernel. And all of this will be linked together through Microsoft's windows live services ensuring that your data/info is available across various platforms and is up to date.
That's a more compelling ecosystem than any other being offered.

I wouldn't say the iPhones ever had the best battery life or camera that's for sure. They still have the best touchscreen interface and mobile OS, IMO. I don't really care for the customisation on the iPhone, it works pretty much perfectly out of the box. Add that with a jailbreak and SBS Settings and it's all I'll ever need

So, I need to hear some arguments here. There are two pretty big purchases I'll be making fairly soon: I'm due for an AT&T upgrade come next month, and as college nears closer, I have to start thinking about the kind of laptop I'd like to get. As someone who has had his iMac since 2008 and has spent a good deal of money buying apps for the iPhone, I'm wary to switch over to a PC or another brand of cell-phone.
That said, I'm hearing more and more arguments (mostly from my peers) concerning why I should be leaving Apple behind and opting for computers like Lenovo or Alienware and phones more like the Galaxy SIII. When it comes to phones, I'm pretty dead set on getting the iPhone 5; I love my iPhone 4, as it's been immensely reliable and I've liked everything I've seen of the iPhone 5. When it comes to purchasing a new computer, though, I'm less convinced. There's no arguing that for less money, one can purchase a PC laptop with better specifications than a Macbook, but is that all that matters?
Of course, I've loved every operating system since Leopard, and understand virtually every aspect of how to use a Mac. PC's, on the other hand, are somewhat foreign to me; I use them frequently at school and used to before my iMac, but neither of those things have given me enough time to really "learn" the OS.
What I'm asking is this: Is spending the extra money on a Macbook Pro worth it, or is the more practical and worthwhile thing to do to switch over to PC?

I am installing iOS 6 on my iPhone 4S right now. If you guys want to get the final build of iOS 6, you can download it in the link below for whichever device you have.
09-14-2012 #9025Android phones are competing against each other. That's why you see them the way they are right now. The only phone I've have was a BB Tour, that came to where my iPhone is in regards to battery life. What's the speed of the US based S3? What's the speed of the A6? How do you determine that apple doesn't have these hardware specs better than the Android phones? What's boring about it? Using it? The best part of this is that if the phone isn't for you, then there are other phones to buy that will fit your needs. I wish the iPhone was configurable like the S3, for sure. However, it hasn't diminished how the iPhone 4 works for me. f the S3 was as fluid and stable between battery life, apps, and usage, compared to the iPhone, I'd have it still.
When there are certain features in android that have been around for a while that are missing in ios, it really makes you wonder what exactly apple is doing.
Some examples of what I'm talking about are mentioned in this video series:
That's probably because their customers aren't relying on announcing specs. They are more concerned about the experience. That's what I'd guess. It's not about promoting CPU speed, ram, etc. The android phones have to because they are competing with X amount of other Android phones by other companies.
that's all assumptions as far as screen quality goes at this point.
Nope. LTE isn't even in this area, so I disabled it. Yes, the Maxx will might have the best battery life due to the 3300mAh, or not due to the hd screen with its yellow tinge and pixels apparently showing up. /smh
I honestly don't see the reason to include LTE in phones when the network coverage was really small. The NFC, They'll integrate it when it becomes something that is used in a lot of places. OR, they'll keep expanding on the integrated app they showed in the keynote. Where can you use NFC? I
I'm not narrow minded. I'm realistic. Let me know when there are apps out that are worth it, that compete with the Android/iOS content. I don't need to use my phone as a computer. Those that do, might like that kind of supported platform, minus the use of other apps/games platform.
It's pretty clear by using a Windows Phone article that guesses at a lot lol. He's an avid Windows phone user.. good slanted article I guess.
Applications and support from the developers. This has been something Windows phones have been in last place compared to anything. I don't have much enthusiasm that Microsoft is going to do much better in this area.
Compelling in what way? I need to get the apps and product support I want/need to use. I don't want to be restricted into a world of Windows.
I'd love to try it. Unfortunately, I'm not ready to pay $600+ for a phone to try it. That's based on a lot of years that Windows "based" phones have just been really insufficient for me.
And judging current windows phones based off of past models is like judging the iphone based on the apple newton.
Now is the perfect time to switch, before you become too entrenched in one ecosystem. (I'd imaging you wouldn't be switching phones for several years after paying the full price)
As I said to f34r, you may be set on an iphone 5, but I wouldn't discount taking a look at the new WP8 phones before making your commitment firm and further entrenching yourself in a particular smartphone ecosystem.
As for computers, as far as hardware is concerned: Buy a business class laptop, they are worth the additional cost over consumer grade hardware. It's not worth gong through the BS typically affecting consumer laptops.
Even then, you still have many more options that what apple tends to offer, its up to you to decide what your needs are and then base a purchase off of that. And there are a lot of interesting laptop/tablet designs that are going to be releases with the launch of Windows 8.
As far as the OS is concerned, it really isn't that difficult. And considering the start menu changes in Windows 8 you lack of knowledge of the Windows os could actually be beneficial.
As for spending the extra money? In the end it comes down to the OS. IF you are bound to OSX then you really don't have a choice in the matter. But if you are able to uses windows without any major issues than you do have a choice and it comes down to what else can you get for the same or less amount of money.
I will say this, factor in the cost of a warranty (with accidental damage protection) into the costs of your computer. I've seen too much $#@! go down in college where it doesn't make sense to forgo it.

text: If I downgrade the ROM on my GSM Hero, will that unfix some of the things that the latest firmware have supposedly fixed (signal etc)? I'm on Three (UK) and am using the latest ROM supplied for the network. I'd like to give 2.1 a shot, but I don't want to do it at the expense of not having a working phone.
