Sign Up For .Mac and Get 30-Day T-Mobile Hotspot Access
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Hot Deals, Wireless / WiFi
If you have been on the fence about giving up $100 large to Apple for a .Mac account, you may want to reconsider if you are constantly on the go and in need of wireless net access. Through June 29, 2005, if you sign up for a .Mac account, you will also receive a free 30 day trial of the T-Mobile Hotspot service. Not too bad when you consider that a month of Hotspot access would cost you $39.95 in the first place. Of course, more and more free hotspots seem to sprout up each day, but who am I to judge?

Well, that was certainly quick. If you weren't one of the ones that felt the need to preorder the Mac mini the second it was announced, you are in luck if you were thinking of buying one with some Apple customized features. After less than a week at retail, Apple has lowered the price for the WiFi, Bluetooth, hard drive and RAM add-ons. For example, you can now get both integrated Bluetooth and AirPort Extreme for a cool $99, or a 512 MB RAM upgrade for $75. Now, yesterday they had also bumped up the speed of the Superdrive from 4x to 8x - but when I looked again today, it was back to 4x. Why must you toy with us, Apple? Why?

History, as Karl Marx's famous dictum would have it, is supposed to be tragedy first time around, degenerating into farce only on its repeat swing. Hard then to say what the dour Marx might have made of his high-spirited fellow Communist Nikita Khrushchev and his 1959 tour across America. As described in journalist Peter Carlson's K Blows Top (Public Affairs), even at the time the shambolic two-week affair struck many as a Cold War comic interlude, a kind of real-life rehearsal for Dr. Strangelove five years before the film. From our perspective, looking back over half a century during which East and West—thanks to MAD, that apt acronym for the doctrine of Mutually Assured Destruction—managed to avoid incinerating mankind, Khrushchev's excellent adventure inspires not just laughter but nostalgia for a time when external threats did not come from shadowy organizations undeterred by the threat of retaliation. And for when the enemy had a sense of humour.
The visit must have seemed a serious event when first proposed. Khrushchev, who had slowly accumulated supreme power in the U.S.S.R. since the death of Joseph Stalin in 1953, may not have been as murderous as his predecessor. Nonetheless, he was devoid of diplomatic skills ("We will bury you"), thin-skinned, and ever ready to remind foreigners he had nuclear missiles at his beck and call. His would be the first-ever visit of a Soviet leader to America, and the prospect that he and U.S. president Dwight Eisenhower might, as the latter delicately put it, have a "mutually profitable informal exchange of views," would have sounded hopeful to most Americans.
In the end, diplomatic progress was minimal, but in 13 days in September, Khrushchev managed to get stuck in a New York elevator, spark media riots in a San Francisco supermarket and an Iowa cornfield, ogle Shirley MacLaine on the set of Can-Can, and throw a Hollywood tantrum over being denied access to Disneyland. (That's the particular outburst captured in Carlson's title, taken from a newspaper headline—copy editors had great difficulty both in spelling "Khrushchev" and in fitting it into the space available; "K" and even "Krushy" often stood in for it.)
News of the visit provoked an uproar. After combing his files, FBI director J. Edgar Hoover estimated that 25,000 Americans wanted to kill Khrushchev. Still, plenty of others wanted him to drop by, meet the family, stay for supper—see, as the cliché would have it, the real America, and thereby learn to love it. Tennessee senator Estes Kefouver touted the Grand Ole Opry; an Atlantic City hotel offered free use of its penthouse ("two baths, kitchen and a Japanese houseboy"); the Apple Festival Parade in La Crescent, Minn., invited Khrushchev to drop by ("If you would like to enter a float," the festival chairman wrote him, "please let me know"); Louis Armstrong thought "Mr. K" might like a jazz club: "He's a cat, man," Satchmo told a reporter, "a human being like anybody else."
Eventually the advance men settled on Washington (White House state dinner), New York (addressing the UN), a luncheon at Twentieth Century Fox's studios in Los Angeles, a visit to IBM in San Francisco, the Iowa corn farm of Khrushchev's American friend Roswell Garst, a Pittsburgh steel mill, and a few days of talks at Camp David. New York's highlight, at least for the tabloids, saw the Soviet dictator crawl out of a malfunctioning elevator in the elegant Waldorf-Astoria, his ample rump shoved from behind by Henry Cabot Lodge, U.S. ambassador to the UN and the diplomat in charge of this travelling circus.
While the East Coast had its moments, matters didn't become truly memorable until the tour reached Hollywood. The film world turned itself inside out over its distinguished visitor. Stars frightened to be seen eating with a Communist screenwriter fought to get into Fox's 400-seat commissary to dine with a Communist dictator. Only a few Cold Warriors, including Ronald Reagan, turned down the invitation, while Marilyn Monroe was dragooned into attending. Her studio bosses told her, according to the actress's maid years later, that Russians knew only two things about America—Coca-Cola and Marilyn Monroe—and that she had to show up, in her "tightest, sexiest dress." Others who came included Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland and Gary Cooper. (After the meal, Khrushchev, who had spent a lot of late nights watching Westerns with Stalin, an insomniac aficionado of the genre, had a long conversation with Cooper, an Oscar-winner for High Noon.) To counter Soviet denunciations of U.S. racial prejudice, black stars like Nat "King" Cole were also invited, making the luncheon Hollywood's first integrated A-list party ever, according to one contemporary journalist.
It all went well until LAPD chief William Parker, spooked by a tomato tossed at Khrushchev's car (it missed, splattering the chief's vehicle instead), announced that he couldn't guarantee security if the Soviets went ahead with a side excursion to Disneyland. So Lodge called it off, and a small volcano started building within his guest. After 45 minutes of rambling, post-lunch remarks, Khrushchev's face grew red as he turned to the topic of Disneyland. "What is it? Is there an epidemic of cholera? Have gangsters taken hold of the place? What must I do, commit suicide?"
His audience, as accustomed to egocentric temper tantrums as any in the world, was unfazed; the visitor himself seemed calm afterwards as he toured the Can-Can set, watching male dancers slide under the skirts of female dancers and emerge clutching what appeared to be their red panties. Perhaps he was being a good guest, or merely happy that he had met Monroe. ("He looked on me the way a man looks on a woman," she later said. And what, her maid asked, did the star make of the dictator? "He was fat and ugly and had warts on his face and he growled.") But afterwards, when Khrushchev was embarrassed by being photographed grinning goofily at MacLaine, he denounced Can-Can as decadent bourgeois pornography, telling reporters that "mankind's face is more beautiful than its backside."

Comments about Angle Stop:
This should really be part and parcel with the bench unit. Why it's a separate buy is a little confusing to me since I'm unsure why you'd want the bench jointer capability without an angle stop. For less than $200 it's possible to convert the HL-850 planer into a bona fide jointer. Wow, that's impressive.Having a field jointer is beyond convenient, it's a gift from the tool gods atop Mt. Olympus.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

John Diebold, an early proponent of computers who more than a half-century ago preached that automation -- a term he reinvented -- would revolutionize business and society, has died. He was 79.
Diebold died of esophageal cancer Monday at his home in Bedford Hills, N.Y., said his nephew, John B. Diebold.
Many considered computers little more than science fiction when Diebold wrote the 1952 book "Automation." The then-radical notion of using programmable devices in daily business had grown out of a Harvard Business School project that investigated automatic control mechanisms in manufacturing.

(Chad's President Idris Debby)
The Committee to Protect Journalists today condemned the sweeping media restrictions after the Chadian government's declaration of a state of emergency.
"Turning the entire private media into a scapegoat for ethnic violence is outrageous," said CPJ's Africa Program Coordinator Julia Crawford. "Government censorship of the private press and muzzling sensitive radio coverage will only deprive the population of vital information about the unrest in the east and other urgent matters of public interest. We call on the government to remove these restrictions immediately."

Reflections on Structure
Edward Beckenstein and Lawrence Narici, Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, St. John's College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
Abstract An idea gestating throughout 19th century mathematics was that certain concretely different things were the same somehow. By the mid-twentieth century, the idea had been formalized and adopted. A "mathematical structure" came to mean: Start with a set of objectives that interact with each other according to certain rules. Results about this general structure will then apply to anything that you later discover to obey the rules. Stripped of the accountrement of the concrete situation, some things became much clearer. What are the objects? What can they be? This is the rare case where ignorance is mandatory. The great German mathematician David Hilbert summarized it in a 1941 letter to the philosopher/mathematician F. L. G. Frege:
"If among my 'points' [i.e., 'objects'] I consider some systems of things (e.g., the system of love, law, chimney sweeps……) and then accept only my complete axioms as the relationships between these things, my theorems (e.g., the Pythagorean) are valid for these things also."
Our recent research is about a novel way to determine that two abstract structures–Banach spaces with bases–are the same.

Nokia's Appellation
What is the reason behind the "Lumia" branding?
Look at the above two phones, disregard everything you know about them and consider what they're trying to tell you?
Firstly you might notice two things (besides the two phones of course!):
- Bright Colours
- Mass (kg) and therefore weight (N)
- some people may notice other things first but for the reason of this discussion I'll keep it to what I believe is more prevalent in the design.
Brightness is an attribute of visual perception in which a source appears to be radiating or reflecting light. In other words, brightness is the perception elicited by the luminance of a visual target.
Brightness is therefore a subjective attribute/property of the object being observed.
Mass refers to the amount of matter an object. Mass is measured in kilograms (kg) and unlike weight (n) mass never changes.
For example, a person at the North Pole will have more weight but the same mass as a person standing in Sydney, as different forces are applied.
The weight of an object is the force on the object due to gravity. Weight is measured in Newtons (n).
The reason an object feels 'heavy' when picked up is decided by it's Mass and Weight. Because the object is larger more force is applied by gravity (down, creating resistance to your hand).
From looking at the Lumia 920 and previous Lumia branded phone it's apparent that they are all focused their mass and colours to stand out to potential customers, along with striking design.
So is this what Nokia is trying to create with their brand? Mass, Weight and Brightness?
Mass in a product (although disputed) creates in my mind a sense of quality, and therefore assurance that no, that personal object that you just worked hard for is not going to break on the first drop (even though the more mass the object has the more weight is going to applied and therefore bigger impact). Colours are a way of letting people express themselves, something that most phones do not allow for consumers to do without the purchase of a case, which in itself is a massive market that needs to be innovated upon. Bright colours, as apparant in the Lumia branding stand out, allowing consumers to be drawn to the luminous Lumia (*cough*) and again, stand out from other phones. If this is the case I'm pretty impressed in Nokia, or who ever it was to draw this to the designers attention (or marketing department).
However, in reality it's more importantly my mind taking control after a first day back and start of a new Physics subject. Dealing with planets and taking into consideration their Brightness, Luminosity, Mass and Weight. Even though this is more likely the case I applaud Nokia for allowing my mind to be seduced into my Physics book and learning a few things there and here (A lot of stuff I didn't put into here, as this was mostly just to see what came from an idea and to learn). The point in this whole thing isn't really to make a strong point but rather see what other people think of the Lumia branding that Nokia is trying to create. And one which I believe they have already succeeded in.

Posted 9:43 AM 5/1/2012 : Cone Zone 5/1: Modern Streetcar & new SR 86 summer work hours
Downtown Modern Streetcar
This area of the project includes Congress Street and Broadway through downtown from Granada Avenue to 5th Avenue. Traffic control in this area is as follows:
In early May, the contractor will begin removing traffic islands and restriping Broadway between Granada Avenue and Fifth Avenue. This work will be performed overnight between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. the following morning.
Turn movements from Broadway will not be affected.
Two lanes of traffic on Broadway will be maintained during morning and afternoon peak hours. During off-peak traffic hours, Broadway will be reduced to one lane of traffic.
Parking will not be permitted along the south side of Broadway between Granada Avenue and Fifth Avenue and along the north side of Broadway near Fifth Avenue.
Construction continues on SR 86 west of Robles Junction with new work hours
The Arizona Department of Transportation will continue ongoing lane closures on State Route 86 west of Robles Junction with new summer work hours starting Monday (April 30) from 5:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Traffic delays will vary, but should not exceed 15 minutes. A future traffic alert will notify motorists when the lane closures will conclude.
As an exception to the summer schedule, crews will not work on Memorial Day (May 28), and will resume work on Tuesday (May 29) and will also work Friday (June 1) to make up for the Monday holiday.
The work is part of the four-mile long road improvement project on State Route 86 between San Pedro and Viopuli Road (MP 137 and MP 141) on the Tohono O'odham Nation.
The speed limit is reduced to 25 mph in the work zone and a construction vehicle leads alternating traffic through the single open lane during the lane closures. Shoulders are restricted. Drivers are cautioned to stay on the roadway and obey the speed limit.
As part of ADOT's continued investment along SR 86, this $6 million project includes expanding the roadway shoulders for enhanced safety, applying a new, smooth driving surface and installing drainage features along the project area.
The project is scheduled for completion in fall 2012.

A trip to thew north of the island takes you to Santana where you can see replicas {and a couple of originals} of the type of house once lived in in these parts. Well laid out village.
We saw several of the thatched houses in the city square in Santana. They`ve turned into souvenir shops of mainly Madeira Wine, candy and needle work. There`s nothing worthy inside the cottage to see as depicting earlier life. But the gardens surrounding them are in fact more interesting. I found the cottages a bit overrated and very much commercialized as... More
At Santana there is an opportunity to see and go into the traditional A frame houses as originally lived in by the average hard working Madeira country citizen. Most of them are used for shops but there are still a couple that are still used as dwellings. It makes you realise just how hard living was for these people in... More
But they are not real... Just made for tourists. But they still look great and you can take an official photo with the traditional hats on just for 5 euros. Don't expect greatness here and you won't be disapointed...
We arrived at Santana because our guidebook claimed there'd be around a 100 of original picturesque houses. The only houses, resembling the ones from photos and postcards, we managed to find, were at the main square. Unfortunately, these were built just for tourists. All the rest of the houses we've seen were rebuilt, had a new roof and new facade.... More
Very glad we made the visit. Getting there early in the morning meant we missed the overcrowding we had been told about which gave us the opportunity to appreciate the architectural simplicity of the structures.
The thatched houses are very picturesque , but totally overcrowded with tour bus tourists. The couple of restored houses are a nightmare with far too many tourists overrunning the properties - you will be lucky to get a photo without some stranger mugging in your viewfinder. The surrounding gardens are very pretty. You can also visit a neat farmers' market... More
Very old houses with gardens. Quaint rooms, friendly families who spoke to us. Wonderful cable car ride to ocean with waterfalls to the right & massive ocean waves to our left. Beautiful coast.

The town itself is pretty average and the houses are set up for tourists where you can buy souvenirs. If they were to be set up as traditional houses it may have been more interesting. There was a small farmers market where we did buy some nice sweet potato bread, but it was too wet and windy to go and... More
we got the bus from Funchal to santana, which was easy to do. We went on a wednesday and walked from the bus stop to the cable car that goes down to the farmers fields by the sea. I thuink this may only run on wednesdays. At the bottom of the cable car there is a walk along the pebble/rock... More

Glitter and gold fell all over the wedding dresses in Sarah Seven's studio. On the wedding dresses the glitter and gold missed, the designer gave a short dress cap sleeves and a long dress with cascading curls of fabric. The wedding dresses appear light in weight, but stand strong in style. Sarah Seven is a soft glimpse at glamour of yesterday blended with a flattering body flaunting silhouette.

Janell Staats earns national certification for outstanding work with people and families
Janell Staats, energy and development director, MATURA Action Corporation, was one of 40 individuals from across America working to alleviate poverty to receive the Certified Community Action Professional (CCAP) credential this year.

Just had 2 great reviews of TorpedoRun
Just had 2 great reviews of TorpedoRun so I thought I'd share them here for all to see.
Once again a big thank you to all those that take the time to review our games, it really does help us.
Awesome update… Still…. A couple suggestions!
by RojoyincDeveloper listens!
Last upgrade major improvement… Still one of my favorite games!
9 out of 10 stars! I wish app store had 10 star levels.Incoming ships depth charges now seem to have lower trajectory! Much better and less off top of screen… Love it.
Graphics and even frame rate look better. Might be due to ipad3?
Love the water now. Bug where torp would show sideways at rare times seems to be gone.New ship is great love the detail and life boat on it!
What to fix still….
Explosions when being over run by charges hitting player block view so you can't see other incoming charges! I hate that.
I have to just swipe back and forth and hope I stop other incoming charges I can't actually see. More transparency in those explosions?2.
Often when trying to hit that little fast boat in the distance… It might run behind larger ships. We're forced to really aim to the left and right sides. It appears that even though it would be a hit… If off the left or right sides of the screen it doesn't register as a hit. I think it should. Else limit the right and left aiming to keep it on screen.
If torpedo goes off the sides just before a hit… It doesn't register the hit… That I know would have nailed it.3. Not your fault, but I wish there was a way around cheating. Jail broken devices have a app, which lets you enter your name and dreamed up high score. Ruins the fun. Who would make such a app… And worse, who would use it!!! Only morons.
There is no way the top ranked score is real. Really? I could use my JB ipad2 and take top spot with that app. But really? Why.Wow I am now ranked 9th in the world! Legit. 1.8 million
One of my all time favorites
by RacerX Slot Drifter
I am not one to write a whole lot of reviews, but this game has earned it from me. For such a simple game I have enjoyed playing it throughly. One of the few apps well worth the money. I wish more apps could be as entertaining as this one. Very impressive guys, keep up the good work!

Ok so what is it? I don't want to give too much away but I'm very pleased with how the development is going. The Game has a flightless bird trying to earn his/her Ninja status. Your character achieves this by trying to complete what initially looks like a simple puzzle whilst avoiding the creatures that are out to eat it. There is about 2 months more work on the game to go so make sure you stay in the loop and subscribe to the newsletter.

Enemy ships can fire either single shots or devistating barrages, watch out for the destroyer
as it can fire stacatto barrages.
Every ten seconds you can launch a mine, up to three mines can be in theater in one go. Be Careful

Don't let too many ships escape otherwise it's game over!
The game starts off with just one enemy ship but soon builds into an all our fight for survival.
