Some seeds fall near the tree, some are carried by the winds to distant lands. Booker's first fruits were drawn from the root of American music— the Mississippi Delta's blues became soul and rock and roll. Memphis and New Orleans passed those rhythms forth and back, then shipped them out across the globe. Booker found his destiny manifested in California, leaving the murky provincialism of the Mississippi River for the vast embrace of the Pacific Ocean. Like any good pioneer, on his road from Memphis he brought only what he could carry, cherished what he could use, and he built a new life, sun-filled with possibilities, rich with distant echoes. – Robert Gordon, Memphis, 2011
Robert Gordon is the author of It Came From Memphis and producer-director of the documentary Respect Yourself: The Stax Records Story.

Xbox Live went down a few hours ago and Anonymous is claiming responsibility over on its Twitter account @occupythemob. But there seems to be a few issues still occurring.
When the service went down people took to social media to vent their anger about Xbox Live being down again, it seems to be an ongoing trend at the moment with Microsoft. A few gamers experienced issues with playing Call of Duty Advance Warfare Havoc DLC, but majority were Xbox One users not being able to sign into Xbox Live.
Multiplayer games were not accessible; others said they could not access Netflix and YouTube. Both Facebook and Twitter were inundated with status messages and tweets to vent their anger. Microsoft did issue a statement saying they were aware of gamers having problems signing in to Xbox Live. The service was up and running not long after.
Anonymous @occupythemob posted a few tweets claiming responsibility for the Xbox Live take down, in one they said they have control of controls 80% of Xbox live servers because #BlackLivesMatter, they are also using the hashtag #AllLivesMatter. Looks like they want to get the point across that 'All Lives Matter' will matter when 'Black Lives Matter'.
But, if you visit 'Xbox Live Status' you will see there is a limited problem, where gamers might be having issues posting game performances as well as viewing the performance of other Xbox Live members.
There seems to be a slight problem posting statistics to leaderboards for games such as Grand Theft Auto V and Minecraft. Apparently this is down to maintenance that is taking place now.
Are you having Xbox Live issues at all?

"I'm excited to announce an initiative that we're doing, looking at a new product. The product is called Xeomin and it will be a competitor to Botox. So we're inviting our patients and patients that we haven't even seen before to participate in this program, evaluating a new neuromodulator or botulinum toxins that is similar to Botox called Xeomin.
Xeomin is a product that has been approved in Europe for a number of years. It is a neuromodulator very similar to Botox. The difference is that it has less protein in it, less of the surrounding proteins, the active molecule was identical.
The data and research for Xeomin has shown very similar effects to Botox. The dosing and the administration is identical and our early experience with treating a number of patients with it has been quiet favorable. Patients like it, the treatment seems similar, the outcome seem very similar and what we're really looking to do is to evaluate how this product performs when we compare it to Botox.
So for people that are interested in Xeomin treatment experience, we're going to have them come in whether you're an existing patient or a new patient to the Maas Clinic practice, you'll sign up, there's just a few things we'll be asking in addition to the normal treatment protocol and that's really just evaluating yourself on a little scale that looks at the severity of lines.
We'll be treating up to 3 areas. We've priced it very inexpensively to encourage participation for the first 50 patients and so for the first treatment area it will be a $150, for additional treatment areas it will be a $100. So you can do in an entire upper facial treatment for under $400 which should be very attractive to a lot of people.
And again so far we've seen very good results. It's an approved FDA product so this is not an experiment. Its product that has been approved and looked at for safety and efficacy or effectiveness by the FDA. So we're excited about it, we're inviting all our patients to come in and give Xeomin a try, and we look forward to see you here in the clinic."

Discussion in 'Android Devices' started by phantom phenom, Jul 16, 2010.
I'll post mine when I get vibrant on monday
What screenshot app is everyone using?
I used PicMe on my rooted N1. Havent gone the root route yet on my Vibrant.
See if Shootme will work without root.
It does on my slide
It doesn't work on my vibrant without root
Here it is, I used ShootMe and I'm Rooted:
Did the root void your warranty?
another words did yo have to unlock it? and what mod are you using?
Rooting voids the warranty but if you unroot and send it back to them they will never know and will have no way of telling.
I'm using the home replacement ADW Launcher thats in the Market for free, search it up its great!
There are no ROMs available yet so im waiting on those. The wallpaper is called NexusMod Live Wallpaper which is in the market for free too.
I was gonna root but i kind of like the touchwiz... i just want to be able to change the bottom icons
I'm not really sure I completely understand you're question, but-
1. Yes rooting voids his/your warranty. But you can always un-root, so that really isn't much of a concern.
2. By unlocking do you mean "unlock the potential of the device" or "unlock so I can use on a different carrier"? If you mean the first one, then yes you need to have "unlocked", aka rooted, your device to use that specific app.
3. As far as I am aware, there are currently no mods/roms out yet for any of the Galaxy phones, but considering it is a world phone, I figure it is only a matter of time.
EDIT: Looks like I was just a little too late!
From what I heard you can change the dock icons. Go to Apps-->Menu-->Edit-->And then drag the icon you want from the application window down to the dock position.
Here's mine using LauncherPro Beta on my Samsung Vibrant!
Is that an app to display the the clock like that? Sorry for a noob question llol
Beautiful widgets in the market.
Thanks a lot
I have a qst about that, too... My phone doesn't change orientations on the main screens, only in the apps! How did you get it to do that?
Launcher pro beta is the launcher (app) that does it. I use it and I think adw launcher may change the screen orientation as well.
What else does that app do? I've heard it mentioned before... People saying they were using it to get rid of the Iphone looking appearance?
Confirmed. ADW also does this.
It's like a home replacement app. Gives you more customization like adding home screens, default screen, etc.
Every Home UI app in the market.
Panda home
Open home
Sweeter home
Sweeter Home 2
Umm.. I am forgetting some but you get the idea
How do they change the screens appearance to make it look less Iphone-ish? I'd rather not install it just to see LOL
Well, just like any default Application you choose it. It's not a biggie. They're very customizable!
Well that all depends on which one you use. Basically some you can add more screens, some changes the transition of when you are swiping the phone to change home screen. You would still have Touchwiz regardless but if you make your home UI default you won't have to mess with it. Some have built in widgets... change the app drawer if you want...Its generally full customization you can do with it.
A little late to the party but here's mine:
heres mine :

As Anglican Christians, we baptize infants, children and adults, and confirm young people and adults in their faith.
At Church of the Ascension, we baptize both infants and adults within the context of our regular worship services. Those being baptized, or the parents of those being baptized, meet with a member of the clergy beforehand in order to understand the commitment being made in baptism. Baptisms occur in early January when we celebrate the baptism of Christ (January), at the Easter Vigil (March or April), at Pentecost (usually in May) or on All Saints Day (November). A Service of Baptism may also be scheduled on many other Sundays during the year. If you want to be baptized, or if you want to have your child baptized, please contact a member of our clergy.
Confirmations take place in the spring when the Bishop visits us – usually on a Sunday in May when we celebrate Ascension Day. If you are interested in preparing for Confirmation, or learning more about it, please contact a member of our clergy. Adult confirmation classes happen in the 6 weeks between Easter and Ascension Sunday. All desiring to be confirmed must complete our "Understanding Anglicanism" class, do required assignments and meet with one of Ascension's priests. Youth confirmation preparation happens throughout the year, under the direction of the Director of Youth Ministry.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
For many English families, the political and religious disarray that shrouded England made the far away New World an attractive prospect. On cramped disease-ridden ships, thousands migrated to those British colonies that would eventually become Canada and the United States. Those hardy settlers that survived the journey often went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations in which they landed. Analysis of immigration records indicates that some of the first North American immigrants bore the name Crafte or a variant listed above: Griffin Crafts, his wife Alice Crafts and their daughter who arrived in Massachusetts in 1630; Bridget Craft who arrived in Virginia in 1635; Thomas Craftin, who arrived in Virginia in 1637.

By Joginder Tuteja, Bollywood Hungama News Network
Recently, Farah Khan conducted a Masterclass on Bollywood at London. This was as a follow up to the reception she had where The Mayfair Media Club celebrated her award winning career as a Film Director and Choreographer. Farah has fond memories about the event and the interview she gave, especially since it was indeed a 'different' experience and went into the technicalities of making a film rather than focusing on gossip.
"Thankfully no one asked me about Shah Rukh Khan's favorite colour in the event," laughs Farah who admits that she would love to be a part of more such shows/events which are centered on academic and technical aspects of making a film.
"Really, it was indeed a different experience because I got a platform to speak on things like editing and production design amongst others. I was half expecting one of the tabloid journalists standing up and enquiring about a scoop behind a particular actor turning late on the sets", adds Farah in a lighter vein.
There were clips shown from her directed films like Om Shanti Om and Main Hoon Naa in the Masterclass which was attended by select 50 people. "There were quite a few people belonging to the film fraternity all the way from Nigeria (where Bollywood is in fact turning out to be quite huge), Yorkshire, Dubai and Abu Dhabi who attended the class. The reception was attended by around 175 others who felicitated Farah", says a filmmaker who was a part of the event.
For Farah, one of the high points of her London visit was a chance meeting with Steve Barron, director of Michael Jackson's chartbuster single 'Billie Jean' from 'Thriller'. "It was unbelievable to come face to face with him. I wanted to make sure that I was actually interacting with THE Steve. It was overwhelming", says Farah.

Today I put up my new solo show at the Swift Gallery in the library at Battle Ground, Washington. I've got a few portraits, some large riverbed paintings, and a couple sky-scapes, and one snow scene. It's a mix of everything I've been working on over the past couple years. I'm still working on another painting that I want to bring in and add to the group, but I'm pretty happy with how things turned out. The show will be up for July and August.
Well I finally wrapped this one up.

Lately I've read some really wonderful how-to articles on various topics, and I didn't want to lose track of them because I know I'll want to go back again and again. So here's a list of some of my favorites:
Howard Lyon's explanation of Color & Light. He shows how and why we should select a limited color pallete, and how light works - with particular emphasis on skin tones. Wonderful explanation and examples!
Haven't had any recent shows. The last one I had was a 3-month long solo show in 2014, at the Battle Ground WA Public Library.
This past year I've been working on finishing a few large-scale commissions (the library purchased 4 paintings!!). I'm exploring a few other things as well (more soon).

A MAN who boasted he had "handled stingrays for years" has fallen over while holding one - spearing himself in the chest in the barb.
The stingray had been caught by Lloyd Mellin, who was fishing at Darwin's Mindil Beach, around sunset on Friday night.
"I was catching barra and giving them to some locals," Mr Mellin told the NT News.
He then reeled in a large stingray, which he says was picked up by a drunk man on the beach.
"Old mate picked it up and dropped it," Mr Mellin said.
"I said 'be careful' with the barb... he laughed and said he'd been doing this for years.
"He picked it up again and starts walking sideways, falls on the stingray and had two inches of a six inch barb hanging out of his chest.
"I then called the ambulance as I thought the guy was going to die!"
"The barb entered his pectoral muscle, but he's OK," Police Duty Superintendent Jo Foley said.
"We believe they were trying to remove the barb before an ambulance crew arrived to help."
The man was taken to Royal Darwin Hospital but St John Ambulance's Craig Garraway said the man's injuries were superficial.
"We took him to hospital just to have him checked out thoroughly," he said.
"Stingrays are not usually safe to handle."
In serious incidents, stingray barbs are usually removed once the person is under medical care where surgeons can assess whether there are extra fragments to be taken out.
Pain normally lasts up to two days, but is most severe in the first 30 to 60 minutes with symptoms including nausea, fatigue, spreading cramps, headaches, fever, and chills.
Fatal stings are rare.
However, world famous Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin died after a stingray barb pierced heart in 2006.

Malhotra Early Origins
Sussex 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 year 1230 when William de Malham held a family seat at Malham Farm.
Malhotra Spelling Variations
Malhotra Spelling Variations
It is only in the last few hundred years that the English language has been standardized. For that reason, early Anglo-Saxon surnames like Malhotra are characterized by many spelling variations. As the English language changed and incorporated elements of other European languages, even literate people changed the spelling of their names. The variations of the name Malhotra include: Mallam, Malham, Maleham, Malam, Malem, Mallem, Malgham, Mallom, Mallum, Malhamdale, Malghom and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Many English families tired of political and religious strife left Britain for the new colonies in North America. Although the trip itself offered no relief - conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and many travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute - these immigrants believed the opportunities that awaited them were worth the risks. Once in the colonies, many of the families did indeed prosper and, in turn, made significant contributions to the culture and economies of the growing colonies. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families has revealed a number of immigrants bearing the name Malhotra or a variant listed above: Ben Mallam, who arrived at Ellis Island, in 1914; George Mallam, aged 23, who arrived at Ellis Island, in 1917; M. Mallam, aged 21, who arrived at Ellis Island, in 1906.

I'm just back from a week in Nantucket – the first weeklong vacation I've taken since last summer. And probably the first time I've been in a single vacation spot for a week since high school.
I worked a bit over the week, with some calls scheduled and tasks to be taken care of. But mostly, I enjoyed friends and good food and wine, took time to try new workouts, slept without setting an alarm, sat and drank my coffee at the shop, admired the stars, and played in the ocean. Not only was Nantucket absolutely magnificent, but I got to be there with someone I love and a bunch of new friends. Everyone I met on my first day back in the city commented on my relaxed (and tan!) countenance.
Amidst the busy, stressful, and pressurized early stages of building my company, I am hugely grateful to have had the opportunity (and wisdom to seize it) to get this week away.

Apr 16, 2011 Phil Blackwell Uncategorized
Avoiding all kinds of possible weather dilemmas, the Baldwinsville softball team waited until April 12 to take the field for the first time in 2011.
The wait was worth it for Bees fans – at least in the initial sampling of results, starting with last Tuesday's trip to Rome Free Academy and a 6-0 shutout of the Black Knights.
Liz Campbell, working at the newly-established distance from the pitcher's circle to home plate (43 feet, instead of 40 in years past), stymied RFA with her variety of tosses. All told, the Black Knights had just four hits, and Campbell struck out 10.
Still, it was close most of the way, B'ville only leading 1-0 when it got a run in the top of the fifth inning. Then, in the sixth, the Bees broke the game open with four runs off RFA pitcher Hannah Wasco.
Danielle Sayler had three of B'ville's six hits, adding an RBI as Kaitlyn Massett also drove in a run. Sarah Richards scored twice as Sayler, Maggie D'Eredita, Sydney Carlucci and Amy Sidorakis also scored runs.
Two days later, in the home opener against Utica Proctor, B'ville provided another steady effort and beat the Raiders 7-3.
Never trailing, the Bees scored twice in the first inning. Then, with the score 3-1, B'ville got its winning margin by scoring four times in the bottom of the fourth to back up Campbell's two-hit effort that featured 12 strikeouts.
Massett tripled and drove in two runs. Emily Brissenden also had two hits as she, along with Lindsay Varga and Paige Altman, earned single RBIs.
Early in the school-break week, B'ville plays in the Oswego Tournament before returning home next Saturday to face Binghamton.

YouTube - Galaxy S froyo
What do you think?
Nice. Froyo is a wonderful thing thing....lol
sweet...was it a surprise at all that the n1 w/ froyo benchmarked better than the galaxy s w froyo?
YouTube - Jp3 stuff
Another clip. Btw, there are some Galaxy S users that pass the Nexus 1 on 2.2 while still on 2.1. This is due to the "stalling" fix.
Yea, like the post above mentioned, there is an issue with probably all the new Samsung phones, some kinda accessing memory issue.
It was nice to see it at least passed the Galaxy S benchmark on 2.1., even with that stall issue. Thats better than the 2.2 Droid X video floating around that showed it got worse after Froyo...lol
Seeing this makes me believe that Froyo on the X clip isnt complete or an early build.
yeah when the official froyo hits tho the Galaxy S the benchmarks are probably going to blow everything else away, including the n1
just one bug can slow down everything even with all the optimizations

The executive director of the Colorado Springs, Colo.-based Memorial Hospital said he would resign Monday in protest of a city council decision to eliminate benefits for same-sex couples. Michael Schrader said it has become difficult for him to do his job because he told his gay employees that benefits would be available for their partners. Schrader also said he was upset the council backed a state law that prevents cities from banning guns in most public buildings. "I need to stand up and be counted," Schrader told KVOR-AM of Colorado Springs. "I need to say that the actions regarding domestic partners is wrong, the action regarding guns in public buildings, especially hospitals, is wrong. Those things in particular have made it really difficult to do my job."
Mayor Lionel Rivera and the majority of the new council members elected April 1 had pledged to eliminate same-sex benefits. They joined two holdovers who had opposed the measure earlier in overturning the program in an 8-1 vote. The reversal demonstrated a sharp ideological shift on the council from its 5-4 approval of the benefits last December. Rivera defended the action, saying council members were very open about their plans. "Council sets the policy, and if they can't live with council policies, then it's probably the best decision to move on," Rivera told the station.

"Marijuana will definitely pull out the creativity. With running, it makes the blues bluer, and the greens greener."
Firsts with Ultra-marathon Running and Cannabis
After Avery's gym membership expired, he wanted to stay in shape so he gave running a shot. He saw an advertisement for the Blue Ridge marathon in Virginia, which is advertised as the toughest road marathon in the country. Avery had never run a marathon before signed up for the double marathon option – running the course twice. A friend warned that he could never finish it, yet Avery went on to be the youngest person to ever complete the race on April 20, 2013.
And in Avery's words, "that pretty much sparked everything." In the next couple of years, he went on to complete many more 100+ mile runs and broke several records in the process.
Having found true enjoyment and elite performance in this new sport, he worked for a while at a running store in Indiana and in 2014 moved to Colorado to pursue the truly high mountain paths the continent has to offer. One of his roommates there is an avid cannabis smoker and suggested Avery combine the two.
"I saw how productive [my roommate] was, which is against all stereotypes. He smokes three times a day. He's really smart and productive. One day he asked me 'have you ever thought about smoking and then going for a run?' So I took a massive bowl rip and went on a run at one of the local parks I always run.… And just really, really enjoyed it. You feel very in tune with your body and nature – nature for sure. The miles go by pretty fast – or what I think are pretty fast."
Performance Enhancing Drug?
Avery's list of running accomplishments is already long despite having only been at this for two years. You can check out his Facebook page for an up to date tally of his records and feats. As he continues to impress his growing fanbase and destroy lazy stoner stereotypes with his energy and drive, one might wonder if cannabis could be considered a performance enhancing drug.
Definitely not, says Avery.
"I don't think that marijuana is a performance enhancing drug. I still will not use it in any competition. I want to maintain my integrity on that. I do not and will not use it in competition. However during training, I still don't think it's a PED. I think it can occupy your mind a little bit more. Marijuana will definitely pull out the creativity. With running, it makes the blues bluer, and the greens greener."
"I've talked with the best ultra-runners, at least at the 100 mile distance, I'm not going to name names, but they are complete and utter advocates. These are definitely high ranking sponsored runners. They can't come out and say they use marijuana because they could lose their sponsorship. But some of the veterans who have been running for 15 years and some of the faster new school guys do as well. It's just that most people don't want to speak their mind and come out like I did."
Runners like Jenn Shelton come to mind. Jenn was featured in the famous running book Born to Run which has inspired many to hit the trails. She is a former 100 mile trail record holder and admitted to using cannabis as part of her training regimen in a recent Wall Street Journal article "Debate Over Running While High"
Because Avery can run the same distances at the same speeds with or without cannabis, for him it's more about enhancing his appreciation for the moments that arise in the midst of the running and training.
"You really enjoy running more. It's not performance enhancing because I'm going to do the same workout tomorrow as I am with or without marijuana. That's all there is to it."
Methods of Ingestion and Finding Balance
Avery wasn't familiar with dosages until he moved to Colorado. Once there he had wide access to edibles. Just before a run, he considers 15mg to be the perfect dose. He says "it makes everything very in tune."
He doesn't use edibles on every run as too much THC can cause blur his attention. "I don't use them on speed workouts. Sometimes I lose a little bit of focus and maybe a little bit of determination. This isn't always true. The main runs I use cannabis on are the really long runs (30, 40, 45 mile runs) or just maintenance miles and runs that are not going to be detrimental to my next race."
With his diet and metabolism, Avery usually takes the edible about 45 minutes before he plans on going out. "Once I start running it normally doesn't kick in for about 15 to 20 minutes later. Typically 10 to 15 mg will last me about 2 to 2 1/2 hours. If I want to continue a sustainable energy or high, I will take 10 mg every 2 to 2 1/2 hours…After you use it a few times, you figure out how it's going to react and how long it's going to take to kick in. Then you really start to dial it in, and to get it down to a science."
Avery acknowledges that dosing depends on the person and it's up to everyone to start slow and dial in their appropriate cannabis regimen. For instance, a friend who competes in triathlons and was recently featured in a Men's Journal article titled "Get High, Train Harder"
ingests much more. "He typically takes 20 to 25 mg. That's too much for me. There is a line where productivity can be cut out. I have done runs up the mountain at 20 to 25 mg, but those are only 18 mile runs. Super-long runs it is important to dial in dosage."
Since he's been immersed in Colorado's legal cannabis market for several months, he's found several products that suit him the best. "As far as edibles go, I like using Incredibles. They make coffee bars and chocolate bars. I like them because I know exactly how the high and edible is going to react with my system." He also regular enjoys EdiPure's 10mg Peach Tarts.
Having been sold on the consciousness expanding properties of marijuana edibles, Avery has also found value in THC infused salves or lotions. He says they are good to calm down the muscles. While these topical applications don't create a euphoric high, they should still be applied conservatively. "It does not take a whole lot to relax the muscles."
Advice for the Consumer and Culture
As both cannabis and long distance running enjoy a surge of popularity, Avery has some guidance to those in overlap of these two budding communities.
As for dosing, Avery goes with the standard advice coming out of the Colorado edibles market. Don't start with anything over 10 mg. "I've got some friends who can't do anymore than 5 mg and go out for a run."
Unlike alcohol it's apparent when you've ingested too much cannabis. "If you smoke too much, you can get lazy. That can occur for me too. The only time I smoke 'too much' is when I purposefully do. Like when it's nighttime and I'm going to bed."
"I think for anyone especially in an endurance sport [cannabis] is very, very useful. You just have to understand to know your limit. You have to know what is too much and how to limit yourself and how to not abuse it for sure. Edibles are a good route to go. If you plan on running for two hours it's going to kick-in in 45 minutes. If you are 45 minutes from the house, you are essentially now going to get high and you've got to run back. So you'll get the full experience. It's just a good way to start out."
Runnin' High and Sponsorships
When Avery first moved to Colorado, he was sponsored by American Cannabis Company. At the time he was hash tagging all his social media pages with #runninhigh. This meme was the starting point of Avery's brand of durable trail running gear called RunninHigh. "I didn't necessarily mean it in the sense of I'm running and I'm running stoned. I meant it as in I'm running up the mountain. It's more of a mountain based trail running company. We are definitely pro-cannabis, but we are not promoting cannabis use with the company as this is something you should do."
Avery had no difficulty finding additional sponsorships. As the perfect spokesperson for edibles and ultra-marathon running, he quickly found race sponsorship with Incredibles and Mary's Medicinals. This partnership represents the next step in the evolution of responsible cannabis use. The industry is actively joining up with the new voices of the cannabis community.
There can be significant benefits to coming out of the cannabis closet.

Split arm Truth 45251 operator
A home owner from St. Michael, MN says:
June 2, 2014
My window operator is a split arm Truth 45251, It shows the same as your 39-172 except that my outer arm is only 4 1/2 inches to your 5 inches, the holes are 3 inches apart and the inner arm measures 3 1/8. Will this work or what kind of issues will I run into?
Dave Sr. from SWISCO responded:
June 3, 2014
Hmm... I'm not sure if the 39-172 will work. Are you sure it's the same as yours? I think at this point it would be best that we see a few pictures of your existing operator removed from the window, just to make sure. Also, please measure the distance between the rivet-center to hole-center on your operator. Thanks!
A home owner from ohio says:
April 12, 2015
What was the outcome of the above conversation? I have the same hardware the homeowner from ST. Michael dose.
Tom from SWISCO responded:
April 15, 2015
Thanks for the pictures! I think we may just have found something that matches, though it's not currently in our catalog. I will let you know as soon as it becomes available!

[TRANS] 141202 Non-fan Account – Encounter with Jaejoong at KBS
First Tweet:
I had my first sighting of JYJ Kim Jaejoong-ssi yesterday I think he has milky-white, dry skin and is good-looking; and I am surprise that he is different; he has a very charming personality, is friendly and was humane [/approachable]. His manner of speech talking to his manager is full of charms; thankful for yesterday, Kim Jaejoong-ssi
Second Tweet:
JYJ Jaejoong joked as he was giving me an autograph. He asked me, "What are you doing here? Juwon is over there." He knew I was a Juwon fan. I was shocked momentarily. There will be an album coming out soon, right? I will watch the drama Spy for sure. I will buy the album, too.

Bag jobs even during tough economic timesEmployment | January 27, 2011 at 4:10 am
The status of a country's economy is an indicator of almost all the markets within the boundaries of that particular nation. Obviously, job market is also included in the list of markets that are affected by the economy. And when the economy is in a downward trend the condition in job market becomes piteous. The downsizing of the economy insists the companies to cut their costs and companies pull axes to start cost-cutting with the first blow on the manpower. It results in massive unemployment and job market shows no hope for job seekers.
Now, if someone says that such a job market situation can also fetch jobs, then that will never be acceptable. And you will probably take it as a shoddy joke. But there are several time tested strategies that shows desirable results in job search, even during hard economic times.
Several strategies can be adopted to make more jobs available for a job seeker. One of the most significant and highly productive strategies is improving your knowledge and enhancing you skills. During the economic crisis companies look for efficient employees who will take negligible time to settle into a new atmosphere and his/her productivity will also be high. Companies during such hard time give less importance to fresher. Hence, following the advices of a career guide to improve your personality and skills will be helpful to secure a good paying job.
An alternative of the above strategy will be to seek help from a vocation professional. Vocation professionals offer a wide array of services like making CV, providing job coaching, useful exams all of which will improve your chances to fetch a job. There are additional services like social networking, writing cover letters that can attract companies and advising on career research techniques which are offered by vocation professionals.
One of the most important tools to hunt down a job is your CV. And during the time of economic slump job seeker must pay special attention to their CVs and design a quality resume. A resume must be made by doing a extensive research on the keywords. Of a resume doesn't contain the exact keywords that are required to get a specific job, then surely that resume will be undetected by the filtering system of job portals. So to make the chances of getting a good job, a resume should be made intelligently. Resume services are quite helpful in this regard.
Once these strategies fetches you an interview, your appearance, confidence and smart body language will make an impression on the employer.

This will be quick, but I'm annoyed by this ongoing phase in today's television.
It's a trend on American TV that is driving me absolutely insane. The latest was visible in Monday night's episode of NBC's "State of Affairs" that stars Katherine Heigl. Viewers see the action, a terrorist operative blows herself and some building up. Then we get the onscreen line, "FIVE HOURS EARLIER." oh puleeze!
"Criminal Minds' has been doing this a lot, too, recently, and they aren't alone. It seems like the powers that be all seem to think that to be dramatic a show an episode should have a teaser and then go back in time to tell the story.
Just tell the dang story and leave the punch to the end like it's supposed to be. It's time for this phase to end. It's lost its charm

Samsung Champ ReviewSamsung Champ
Samsung Champ doesn't have a 3G baseband, you will be limited to EDGE speeds for everything as the handset has no Wi-Fi capabilities either. The phone is lacking a GPS chip as well, however Bluetooth 2.1, and an FM radio are still on board.
Camera and Multimedia:
The camera interface is typical Samsung of the latest TouchWiz variety, just the shooting modes are scaled down to the capabilities of the 1.3MP sensor – Single, Continuous and the fun Frame and Mosaic. There is no need to touch-focus as the camera doesn't support autofocus, just press the on-screen shutter and take the picture, or start shooting video. It takes about 2-3 seconds to capture and save the image, which is fairly normal.
The 1.3MP pictures are unfocused and lacking detail, but the colors are fine and the overall impression isn't negative, considering the sensor size. Video capture is in QCIF (176x144 pixels) resolution at 15fps, and the resulting video is with washed out colors and watchable only in a post stamp size on your computer screen.
There is no dedicated gallery for pictures or videos. They can be called from the Quickview icon in the camera interface, or from the "My Files" app, and in both places the multimedia files are separated in categories. Quickview shows the pictures one after the other, with double-tap switching to the next one, while in My Files pictures or videos are arranged in a list view. You can attach them to email, send them with MMS or Bluetooth, and that's about it. There is an image editing app in the menu, which allows for quick basic actions to be performed on the photo like cropping, auto adjust colors, or rotating.
When the music player is paused or playing in the background, it appears as a widget on the homescreen, full with album art and music controls.
The dedicated widget is probably a tribute to the phone's music functionalities, as it has dual speakers in the front, and sports Samsung's Sound Alive technology that brings 3D sound effects in headset mode, kind of a mock surround sound. The supplied headset's quality is good, especially when the Bass mode of the equalizer presets is on. The effective output from the speakers is with decent volume, but the base sounds are tinny.
It doesn't differ from the latest TouchWiz-ed phones from Samsung and allows for creation of playlists and filters tracks by albums, artist or genre. There are even several equalizer presets, so the player is a well-rounded offering.
A feature that cements the Champ's added value as an affordable touchscreen music player is that the FM antenna is built-in, and you don't need to dangle the headset from the standard 3.5mm audio jack to tune in to your favorite station, neat.
Video can theoretically be played up to the screen's QVGA resolution, but we had trouble running a lot of the test files from the memory card. The MPEG-4 ones played in the lowest resolutions, but the player is very basic, and the video was a bit choppy.

this is really a nice to have...worth buying...features like 3.5m jack, dual speakers, wireless fm really makes the phone a champ. though it has a vga camera, yet the camera quality is remarkable. the battery back up is also decent. the sound quality is superb. moreover the overall look of the phone is quite rich that doesnt go with the price. very user friendly and the widgets are really useful. the image editor is also very good. overall its an affordable smart phone...

Hi all, Got this for Rs. 4050/- a week back. This was with CAM. Pink Color. This PHONE is too good, entry level touch phone. Very crisp at the requrried application that you will use regularly. Browsed Internet as well. One word with the experience I had with this phone>>It is indeed a CHAMP. In BigBazar Bangalore, this week it was offered for Rs. 4000/- (with CAM modle). I strongly recommend this to all the user who would go for touch modles. Every Rupee is worth. Sound clarity with the dual speakers is very good. GO FOR IT. Go for CHAMP...

DONT BUY THIS F**CKIN PHONE! Music Player is so frustrating and difficult to use. There is no command/function on the phone if you want to play music files from folders you created. There is Add Playlist function, but because it is cheap, phone software was stupidly designed that when you want to add tracks to a playlist from folders, the phone would show ALL the music stored in your phone, without indexing/sorting/file location info of files whatsoever. you have to search the file you want to add to your playlist from thousands of files, no sorting/indexing etc. Stupid design. Also when you set alarms, and you accidentally press the volume button down located on the left side, The alarm would not sound. another stupid design. price is cheap, quality is cheap. Samsung Kies also doesnt work with the phone.

one reason why samsung introduced this phone in the market is to cater the need for a cheap touchscreen phone without complicated functions of a smartphone. admit it. its not meant to be a smartphone. it's a budget phone which is targeted for developing countries. it's not acceptable that its cons are no 3g, wifi, etc because the phone is clearly not made to have those functionality. its just a basic, cheap, touchscreen phone. so please don't comment that this phone is bad, etc. don't discourage people on what this phone can do. why not look into other phones insted that were MADE for those functions?
for some people, this may be useful for them but for some, it's just trash.

Iowa State Basketball Notebook: Time to regroup | Cyclone Fanatic
Some great quotes in there from Royce. I really hope we make a run in the NCAA tournament. I think as a fan-base, we are VERY down regarding the game last night. What a buzz kill it was!
Beware of the Lion
Scotty's comment that our guys lacked a sense of urgency is right on, and that's the disappointment. It's hard to imagine how it's possible to show up for tournament play without a sense of urgency.
Yess SIR .. I agree on the "Lack sense of Urgency".....
They played like they were an 8 seed.... WIN or LOSE.....
The results speak for themselves.....
Not a good outlook. We ran into a team that was desperate. What do you think the Tournament is going to have? Much better teams who are much hungrier.
With so much on the line and this team can't get up for it. Very disappointing
The thing about these guys is that this has been there MO all season. Whatever it is, Fred has shown the ability to get them focused again. If they can somehow beat the first team, they will find the opponent "worthy" of their effort.
Here is to me hoping that we get a lower than 9-seed so that we are a playing a "worthy" opponent every game.
Jeez, if ya can't get up for the Conference Tourney where ISU fans were clearly the majority, hard to think we can get up when we are 1500 miles from home and playing in front a couple of moms that made the trip.
The players' comments reflect the concerns I and others have expressed on this board for some time. When some were upset we weren't ranked, others were quite happy with the way things were because this team seems to need a reason to prove themselves. They love being "underdawgz." Combined with being ranked, knowing we're in the tournament, and getting the #3 seed, I'm not at all surprised by their letdown.
Their behavior in the game reflected a certain cockiness which doesn't reflect the fact that this team has won by playing good defense, blocking out, and playing team ball in crunch time. The team was laughing, jumping into each other and, in the case of Allen, smilingly arrogantly after almost each score. Texas, on the other hand, did not do that and were serious and focused.
Having said that, I expect the team to play the way they need to play in order to win in the NCAA's. If they lose, I hope the disappointment is in losing to a better team and not due to a lack of focus/intensity.

Quick Change Changeable Robots
Robot Fighter Aircraft
4 Inch Scale
By: Polyfect
$5 at Family Dollar
Well guys, they can't all be winners. After the huge amount of fun I had with the M.A.R.S. Heroes 3-pack last week I had high hopes for this set. These little knock-off robots have always caught my eye from the top shelf of the bargain shops, reminding me of the times as a kid I longed for the gift set of Constructicons.
There are literally hundreds of Knock Off (KO) Transformers on the market, available everywhere from discount shops to high end web stores, available in everything from almost exact replicas to shrunken down versions to robots in all colors of the rainbow. Just about the only things that they all have in common is lead-based paint and crummy plastic.
My Quick Change Changeable Robots came on a giant blister card encased in a wrap around box. The box is actually pretty nice looking, it displays the aircraft transformers nicely and caught my eye from way up on the top shelf on Family Dollar. The large WARNING on the top left is a bit of an eye-sore but probably required by law.
The back and sides of the box also serve as the only instructions for "Quick Changing" these from aircraft to robot. The sides actually show a different configuration (a wrong one) than is printed on the back.
From a distance, the sculpt on these Changeable Robots looks pretty good. The vehicle modes, in particular, are a pretty close approximation of their bonafide Transformers brethren. Once you start to transform them into robots however, it quickly becomes clear what you're dealing with.
The vehicle modes are all copped from existing Transformers. I'm not 100% sure which transformer each of these comes from, I just know that I recognize them and I'm sure their familiarity factored into them being used for this set. The robot modes, I am fairly certain, are brand new.
You see, the robot modes are actually combiners in a sense. The helicopter and the A-10 warthog each flip open the make the head and arms of 2 different robots while the stealth bomber and jet plane become legs. While this sounds like a pretty cool idea, the execution is just terrible. Rather than actually transforming, you more or less just turn these jets over and OMG there is robots!
While they look less than impressive from the front, they look WAY worse from the back. All of those aircraft parts that you sort of push out of the way to make room for the connections into robots are still there. I guess it's good that they are there since other wise the robots would be incapable of standing up.
In terms of actual sculpting, there is very little to speak of. There are next to no details on these little robots.
All of the pieces are cast in the color they are intended to be with any extra color coming from stickers.
This results in these looking very bright and cheap, which is ok, I guess, since they are.
I'm going to run out of things to say here very quickly because there is next to zero articulation. The helicopter robot can only swing his arms left and right like some kind of demented pendulum. The A-10 robot can do a little better, being able to lift his arms up and down.
There are some parts that are clearly left over from the original molds, such as the feet on the Blue Angels style jet being on a hinge that they clearly do not need in this form.
You could also count the "removable" fins, wings and other parts that tend to fall off when you "Quick Change" them.
This set came with 3 accessories. 2 Guns and 1 blue thing that I have no idea what it is.
I tried for a few minutes to figure out what to do with it but quickly gave up. I actually like the guns a bit and plan to keep them in case I think of something else to do with them. The blue piece went straight in the trash can.
Normally I would say these guys were an alright buy for $5. Having just reviewed the M.A.R.S. Heroes set combined with the fact that the cheap plastic wings kept falling off, though, is making that impossible.
Just because they don't cost much doesn't mean they don't need to meet certain standards to be good toys. These things are just flat out awful toys, they fall apart with a VERY light touch. They don't stay together the way they were assembled. They only stand up because of the poor design of their parts hanging off of their back.
You or your kid would definitely get a better bang for your buck either saving up for a more expensive name brand Transformer or by downgrading to a Legends Class Transformer.
These toys suck. They are poorly made, ugly and no fun to play with. I had almost no expectations before opening the package and they still failed to live up to them.
In closing, let me present you with an assortment of pictures of these awful, terrible KO Transformers along side other toys that are varying degrees of less-crappy than they are.
Even I can see that you suck.

Looks awesome to me! Why ya gotta hate the cheap transforming robot toys?
You could use them as dead robots in a diorama.bad Grimlock,those things will give you a tummy ache!
I had seen these toys in a variety of places, but passed. I'm not much of as TF guy, so I probably would have been more impressed, haha.
I picked up another cheap Transformer, so I'm not giving up on 'em hahaha!
These guys were just really no fun.
Bought these for my grandson….. airplanes aren't bad but…noone could figure out how to put them together to make them into robots! Had a pretty disappointed little boy…
Cheap stuff….better to spend a few extra dollars to get better quality.
We need more 'Made in USA' toys.

adding a video.

It appears that you have made a file upload but exceeded this servers 'post_max_size' limit. Unfortunately this renders your form submission invisible to the software.

Oh, I did go and increase the size rules

Personally I would be wary about uploading anything over about 10MB over the Internet using a form, as things have a nasty habit of going wrong like that (the smallest connection glitch can break the transfer).
I want to help you upgrade your site to the latest version soon (for free), because you've had a few bugs that I want to help you get fixed, and because there were a couple of minor bugs in the eCommerce support, and I also want to test the eCommerce support for you a bit more. Could you start a personal topic with me about this if you'd like that (I'll need FTP access). I can review your PHP settings at the same time.
