Cox Communications has donated $100,000 to help fund a UA scholarship program designed to allow qualified low-income students to graduate debt-free.
Known as Arizona Assurance, the program provides select in-state students whose families make less than $42,400 a year with financial aid, grants and work-study programs that cover all the costs of attending the University of Arizona — which officials peg at slightly more than $14,000 a year.
The UA announced the program last year, accepting about 600 students in the fall. UA President Robert Shelton has said he would like to expand the program to allow any qualifying student the opportunity to attend the university for free.
The donation by Cox is an example of how Shelton plans to grow the scholarship — he has said publicly that private funding would drive the program amid the state's deepening economic woes.
The donation could earn Cox dividends in the future, Lisa Lovallo, head of Cox Communications in Southern Arizona, said in a news release.
"It's critically important that our bright and capable students continue to have access to a college education, especially during these challenging times," she said in the release. "Our partnership with the Arizona Assurance scholarship program allows us to directly invest in our state's future work force."
The scholarship program also provides students with faculty mentors along with internships and career guidance with several local employers, including Cox, the release said.

Touch of Retro
By Eileen W. from Norman, OK on Oct 22, 2012
Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
I wanted a touch of retro in my mostly contemporary living room. This looks so cool there. Good quality, easy to assemble, and the price can't be beat.

Retro chairs & table
By Richard W. from Dammeron Valley, UT on Nov 23, 2011
These items were very nice and easy to assemble although the instructions left a little guess work. Finish seems good, sturdy, comfortable, fairly large. For metal furniture made in China it seems a little overpriced but was quite a bit less than the same thing seen on other web sites.

I thought those two died when their helicopter got tangled up in the power lines.
now watch, with one small movement, i'll snap her neck like a twig
Before I scrolled down, it looked as if he was holding up her severed head.
Is that his wife or hostage?
"A single move, McClain and your great granddaughter shall die!"
Smile or I'll fucking kill you
it's going to be okay, ma'am. just keep smiling so he doesn't know anythings up. and remember the code we worked on: 1 blink means he's activated the bomb and we need to quietly clear the area. 2 blinks mean you;re about to lunge to the right and give us a clear shot of him
And here I thought it was Irons' entry in a Silly Putty sculpture contest.
So the ghost of David Carradine is dating someone…
Should there ever be a need to cast someone in "The Harry Dean Stanton Story"…
Somebody please botox that bitch!
I was actually just thinking it's nice to see a woman who aged gracefully without the stupid fillers…. those smile lines make her make her look beautiful.
Harry Dean Stanton and Sigourney Weaver at the Alien 30th anniversary party.
It's nice to see actors age gracefully for a change.
I thought it was Melissa Etheridge and her wife. My mistake.
If Sinead Cusack is a woman, I have a second vagina.
This is how you do it, Tom. Watch carefully.
Jeremy Irons out those wrinkles unsuccessfully
Holy shit! What the hell did he do to Lolita?!
He looks like he's about to snap her neck. Are we sure she's still alive?
He just now realized he forgot to send his demands
Too bad this guy couldn't play Magneto back in 2000. He'd have been much more suitable than Ian McKellan. Heck, I still see him pop up in fancasts on Comicbookmovie.com in the role.
I can't wait to see season 2 "The Borgias" on DVD, though.
A handsome couple.

Police have identified the man they believe is behind a string of violent robberies targeting people of Chinese descent in East Harlem.
Police Commissioner Ray Kelly says investigators believe Jason Commisso, 34, is responsible for at least eight violent robberies since January 17.
Kelly says Commisso has more than 30 prior arrests.
All of the robberies took place in the area between 96th and 116th Streets and Second and Madison Avenues.
The most recent robbery happened just before 10:30 p.m. Saturday when a 57-year-old man was attacked and robbed in the elevator of his apartment building on East 97th Street.
Neighborhood residents who spoke with NY1 say the incidents are disturbing.
"I hope they really catch him man he should be put away for life," said one resident.
"Especially when you have a mother or grandmother and you think about them coming home, and it's not safe to come home because they are afraid to now get into the elevators," said another resident.
"Yeah, I think about it, it can happen to anybody," noted a third resident.
Commissioner Kelly says additional impact officers have been placed in the area to beef up the uniformed presence.
The NYPD has also assigned additional officers fluent in Mandarin and Cantonese to the area for community outreach.
Anyone with information on the case should contact the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS, or text CRIMES and then enter TIP577, or visit www.nypdcrimestoppers.com.

Charart request
You are seriously amazing at chararts! Could you do Raindrop 's kit? She is a shorthaired silver tabby she-cat with blue eyes- a little like Bliss, I suppose. If you could do her for me, I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance! Tiny 🌸 Jυѕт αησтнєя gιяℓ 🌸 11:14, August 26, 2013 (UTC)
Yes, she does already have a charart, but I did that a while ago an dam not very ahppy with it. I would like you to overwrite it please! Tiny 🌸 Jυѕт αησтнєя gιяℓ 🌸 16:19, August 26, 2013 (UTC)
Thanks you so much <3 Tiny 🌸 Jυѕт αησтнєя gιяℓ 🌸 09:11, August 27, 2013 (UTC)
Make sure you put "Redone" for Raindrop's heading rather than "For approval" ! xD Tiny 🌸 Jυѕт αησтнєя gιяℓ 🌸 16:37, August 27, 2013 (UTC)
I found a life image for Jasper...
Here you go! Tiny 🌸 Jυѕт αησтнєя gιяℓ 🌸 09:22, August 27, 2013 (UTC)
come on chat I need to ask you something "Wey hey it's time to play" 11:39, August 27, 2013 (UTC)
I'm very sorry for the inconvenience, but Raindrop's description has changed (though it's only her pelt length!) and she is now longhaired. Could you possibly make her charart longhaired? You can keep the old pattern and paste on a new blank or redo the charart entierly, whichever is easier for you. c: Tiny 🌸 Jυѕт αησтнєя gιяℓ 🌸 18:25, September 3, 2013 (UTC)
If it's okay with you, Finch is going to join the Storm Fronts. I hope there she'll be noticed and not ignored.
Happiness is a car from Sainsbury's 11:00, September 7, 2013 (UTC)
Okie c:
I'll expand her page so she can be accepted.
Happiness is a car from Sainsbury's 11:14, September 7, 2013 (UTC)
Hey Sorrel! I saw your posts and I wanted to let you know that every post you make in The Storm Fronts needs to be seven sentences long, and if your cat speaks in it, all of your dialogue may only count as one. Could you revise those posts sometime within the next 24 hours? Thanks! ✩Emma✩ 16:33, September 7, 2013 (UTC)
You also need to finish filling out all of the areas on Soren's page, save for the two health sections and roleplay, before you can post with him. If you also do this within 24 hours, I won't have to remove the posts. ✩Emma✩ 16:38, September 7, 2013 (UTC)
Psst, could you revise your posts in The Storm Fronts one more time? In one in particular, you used many short sentences, and the point of having the seven sentence rule is that you mix longer, more complete sentences with a few short, less detailed ones. Thanks in advance! ✩Emma✩ 17:50, September 7, 2013 (UTC)
Little idea...
Hey Sorrel! I had an idea that I would like to share with you. Now, you might think "Omg, best idea ever, awesome, yeah" or "Nu, rubbish idea". Your choice xD. I was wondering if Soren and Emily could be mates. It is your choice, after all. They're a bit young to now, maybe when they're a bit older. So... yeah. What do you think? Tiny 🌸 Jυѕт αησтнєя gιяℓ 🌸 13:20, September 14, 2013 (UTC)
I'm about to post the whole kit idea on a blog, shall I put your sig at the bottom with mine or not bother?
I made this. It's going to go up for approval when her kit is approved <3 Tiny 🌸 Jυѕт αησтнєя gιяℓ 🌸 16:14, September 16, 2013 (UTC)
Well, I was trying to help Tiny with the genetics for Soren and Emily's kits, and when going off of Soren's life image, I discovered that he is a torbie. And torbies or any sort of tortoiseshell, can only be female. Could you find a picture of a brown tabby for him, or change the description? (tawny is a bit too vague as well, as it's not a strong hue and the shade can vary a lot) Thanks! ✩Emma✩ 14:10, September 17, 2013 (UTC)
If you can find an image to match, then yes. ✩Emma✩ 23:11, September 17, 2013 (UTC)
One last thing here: You cannot edit the image for any Storm Fronts cat or their offspring. That includes eye color. ✩Emma✩ 22:57, September 18, 2013 (UTC)
Glyfie's gonna have to look like Soren, as well, in order for them to possibly be siblings. Sorry to keep bothering you about his D: ✩Emma✩ 04:13, September 22, 2013 (UTC)
Well, no, she'll need to look near-identical to him. Same amount of white, no brown streaks on her chest, etc. ✩Emma✩ 14:32, September 22, 2013 (UTC)
If you've ever read the FAQ page for The Storm Fronts, you will see that a sibling, parent, and offspring of a TSF member must be genetically accurate, to go with said member of the group. ✩Emma✩ 15:42, September 22, 2013 (UTC)
I'm simply following the rules of the Storm Fronts- if the streaks stay, then Soren will have to leave the group because it's genetically impossible for a cat to have that. ✩Emma✩ 17:33, September 22, 2013 (UTC)
Re-read my last message. ✩Emma✩ 18:41, September 22, 2013 (UTC)
That would be okay. I was trying to express the point that a cat can't have brown streaks among white on their chest- that's a trait typically reserved for owls or other birds, but nothing of feline descent. ✩Emma✩ 18:56, September 22, 2013 (UTC)
A Final Goodbye
Thanks, Sorrel :) I'll never forget you either. Yes, I very we'll am catching Findick, huh? xD I'll try to visit soon. Bye<3 |Rowan Winston "Does this darkness have a name..? Is it your name?'" 22:17, September 26, 2013 (UTC)
Soren and co.
You need to expand his appearance section greatly, and remove the thought of his mother in it- appearances are for descriptions, not opinions. The Skills and Abilities section needs to be expanded, Enemies section removed if there aren't any, and your personality is a bit flat as well, and could use a lot more depth. Please work on these. You've had a lot of time to do this, and I would like you to finish at least one TSF character's page before you make another cat. Thank you in advance. ✩Emma✩ 01:02, October 3, 2013 (UTC)
Sorrel, look at the length of your personality section, and compare it to Sebastian, Cas, or even Sweet. It needs to be much longer, or else I will begin to remove your posts and block you from roleplaying until it is done. You also need to add Soren to the allegiances- please re-read the FAQ page for the group, as it's becoming clear that this information isn't terribly clear to you at the time. ✩Emma✩ 03:30, October 4, 2013 (UTC)
Understood- it would have been nice if in the edit summary or even on the page that the rest was to be coming later. However, you did post yesterday, as well, after I had left the first message- I had assumed you would've gone by the pages' rules, which state that a page needs to be complete before you continue to post. ✩Emma✩ 00:10, October 5, 2013 (UTC)
Sorry if it is a bit early to ask, but may I rp one of Gylfie's kits? Tiny 🌸 Jυѕт αησтнєя gιяℓ 🌸 14:41, October 11, 2013 (UTC)
Sorry, I've got the memory of a goldfish xD May mine be called Mouse, a small black she-kit with one white paw? Tiny 🌸 Jυѕт αησтнєя gιяℓ 🌸 15:16, October 11, 2013 (UTC)
Get on chat c:
Fez 16:10, October 15, 2013 (UTC)
The title says it all x3 Tiny 🌸 Jυѕт αησтнєя gιяℓ 🌸 17:16, October 16, 2013 (UTC)
Psst, I was taking a look at Soren and Emily's kits, and you have an issue with your genetics. ll of the kits would have the same built, either oriental or normal, but you cant have Shamber be normal with the other two kits. And since Soren doesn't carry pointed tabby genes, the other two kits wouldn't be pointed like their mother. It's easier to fix this now instead of after they're born, so here's the breakdown:
- All kits will be black-based. (So solid black or if tabby, like their daddy- dark stripes and a brown undercoat)
- 25% will be solid in color, 75% will be tabby
- 50% will have no white on them, and 50% will have low white, like their dad.
- All will have the same general build: They either look oriental or they don't.
Hope this helps! ✩Emma✩ 17:15, October 25, 2013 (UTC)
Hey Sorrel! I was looking up pictures for Elaine, but I came across this one, and I thought about Gylfie. I realize it has tabby markings but yeah. alex but micoo! 19:56 Fri Nov 1

Emily cannot kit until your kits' pages are better constructed. Blythe cannot have an extra toe, as it is a dominant trait. Her parents would have to have one, in order for that to be possible for her, and her image has to become oriental. I'm going to message Feather and Tiny about their kits' pages, but all of you have something you need to adjust before Emily can proceed with kitting. ✩Emma✩ 16:15, November 23, 2013 (UTC)
Your kit is alright, but Emily, Misha, and Shamber still need work. ✩Emma✩ 21:45, November 23, 2013 (UTC)

Sorrel person I neeeeeeed you ouo Tiny 🌸 Jυѕт αησтнєя gιяℓ 🌸 17:22, November 26, 2013 (UTC)
Hey. I looked at Poolpaw's page and saw that she's in pursuit for a mate. I know that it's like forbidden and all that, but how about Sedgepaw? It's bound to either drive SprC and AC further apart, or bring them closer together, and plus this wiki needs more forbidden couples :P because they're fun. Up to you, anyway. Fez 21:59, November 30, 2013 (UTC)
Possibly a little later into Sedgepaw's apprenticehood? There's a few moons age gap between them, but that shouldn't be a problem. Since Sedgepaw is still only just an apprentice (Pool probably is too but I have no idea D:) maybe wait until the both of them become sort of senior apprentices? Fez 11:10, December 1, 2013 (UTC)
that's good then c: and come on chat~ --Fez 12:30, December 1, 2013 (UTC)
Leggo says that because the TSF kits can't open their eyes or hear a thing for another week, the long posts are gonna fill up the page, so could we not Tiny 🌸 Jυѕт αησтнєя gιяℓ 🌸 16:29, December 1, 2013 (UTC)

Realism in TSF
Alrighty, Sorrel, I'm gonna keep this fairly brief. First of all, that last post was all speak, and no body sentences, so it had to be removed for not meeting the requirements. Your other post, from Blythe's POV, was removed because she is a tiny kitten. She doesn't know the concept of a mother, father, recognize scents besides her mother, what a sibling is or what a cat is, even. She cannot see, feel or hear properly. All she knows is that she feel hungry, but doesn't even have a word for that term yet. She is virtually in a vegetative state.
The Dark forest dreams are also borderlining the realistic aspects of the roleplay. You're cutting it very close, and I've been having people come to me about this once again. If the realistic aspect grows too difficult, remember you are not forced to keep Soren in the group, and he and Emily may live happily as loners and whatnot, if this is too hard. I mean, it's even difficult for me, too. Just don't feel pressured about staying if this is too much work, and know that nobody's gonna judge you if you opt out. ✩Emma✩ 01:14, December 5, 2013 (UTC)

since you're not in chat I gotta 'splain it here, but Soren can't get out of camp or find Finch. Finch was fully-grown as a nine month old kitten, and the snow was over her head. The snow was icy and rock-filled, so Soren would've died, too, before he could've reached her. And there was no way he could bury her under the ground, when it's that cold outside, as this is a coastal-y forest- the dirt and soil is filled with a lot of moisture, so there's no way he could've dug into it, let alone scrape any of it away. He would've torn up his feet trying, and there'd be blood everywhere. Couldja revise yer post? sorry if this is confusing D: ✩Emma✩ 18:50, January 12, 2014 (UTC)

So, my evil mind came up with what I think is a kind of clever idea. Shortly after our dear Owlpaw is made a warrior, she falls in love with my kitty Shale and joins TSF to be with him, as he hates the Clans. Then she meets Soren. Servalleap 23:07, January 22, 2014 (UTC)

Group thingy
Hey, everyone else seems to have little loner group things (I don't know what to call them. x3), so I was considering creating one. :
The Pack/ Saoirse (Freedom in Irish)/ The Predators (Help me choose! x.x)
(Leader of the group, treated with very great respect, never challenged. Must be a tom. Leader of the group.)
Alpha She-cat
(Mate of the Alpha, treated with great respect, helped whenever she needs help. Leader of the group)
Alpha Heir
(Heir of the Alpha, treated with great respect. Has to be from the current Alphas, and must be a tom.)
(Second in command, treated with respect. Does not take over Alpha position. They are medicine cats/deputies)
Beta Heir
(the "Heir" of the Beta. This cat is chosen by the Beta, Alpha, and Alpha She-cat. Doesn't have to be a son/daughter of the Beta. Any gender, well-respected)
(A disliked cat/traitor of the group. This DOES NOT have to be included)
(Average cat. They hunt and patrol, and are respected. They're Warriors.)
(Queens. Respected pretty well.)
(Watches over the kits when the Mother/Parents are gone. Usually a clown, but has the respect.).
So, you willing to help me out? I'm thinking of having Wolfy join as a Subordinate or the Beta, but you have first choice. (Except I have Alpha and maybe the Alpha Heir.) And the Omega doesn't have to be included. (Mainly asking you because your one of the most active Users, and you know who the Alpha She-cat will be. ;) )Silverstar Goat Simulator fTW 15:02, June 9, 2014 (UTC)

Alright, I've got to eat, so I'll just tell me my plans:
Before Blue asks Cardinal to be his mate, Cardinal finds her stomach feeling weird. She talks to the MC, and finds out she's expecting, but doesn't remember doing anything with Blue. It turns out long ago that they played in some cat nip and got pretty messed up, and did stuff, but forgot about it. She tells Blue that she's expecting and doesn't know who the father is, and he's mad, thinking she's cheated on him, though he is the father.
She ends up injuring her kits in her stomach somehow (idk, falling out of a tree or something), and kits stillborns, but they're all ginger and white, much like her, not resembling Blue what-so-ever. He remains grumpy, but is sadened by the litter's death. Then later, they somehow remember what happened and make up.

I love Tresor! I admit I had to use to it, there was time I couldn't stand it. But since last year it's one of my favorites. For me it's a perfect fall fragrance.
This is the scent I hate more than any other. Probably because it reminds me of a crazy woman who used to wear it while making bizarre comments about how we all better get married before age 30. So I guess Tresor always says to me, "C'mon y'all, let's douse ourselves in peach schnapps and go look for a man down at the mall." And the bottle is so unpleasant to hold, shape is just weird.
This has got to be one of the WORST fragrances out there... It smells like bug spray. I got this as a sample in one of the gift sets and when I sprayed it on, I couldn't wash it off quick enough. It is just plain horrible!!! I will NEVER purchase this...
This is by far the worst fragrance I have ever smelled! The packaging is not attractive and old fashioned. Please discontinue...
More reviews by one_life_lover
I liked this in the store & took it home excited to try it out & I hated it! It's much to "old" for me. I wouldn't buy it again & I would say try it a few times before you buy.
I do not like this. It smells like old Avon talcum from the sixties. It has a heavy, powdery, sweetness. If you can imagine a clingy, needy person draped all over you but being ever so nice -- that's what this is about. This is a scent for someone who never ventures out of her drawing room and who gets the vapors if she has to pour her own tea.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
im 20 and this is definitely not the scent for my age. i looove heavy scents from guerlain and dior, etc., but this one smells so heady, outdated and old on me. The bottle and the colour of the liquid seems to indicate its not for someone looking for heavy or not, a fun and modern scent. I tried it because it said it had apricot blossom in it and i am soo dissapointed!
I smelled this at Bloomingdales about 4 years ago and fell in love. This scent is wonderful. It is a bit heavy, but it is still a fabolous. This is my cold weather going out scent while J'adore is my warmer weather going out scent. The scent has great staying power (I have the EDT) so a little goes a long way. You definitely get your money's worth with this one.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I used this a few times many years ago but since the reformulation (and there must have been one) things sure have changed.
Before (vintage), it was intense but still had a soft quality to it. I tried a new bottle last night and it absolutely did not agree with me. It is still an intense fragrance but not soft to me, nor attractive. I couldn't even get softness from the amber in this one. Flat out "yucky" on my skin.
I know sometimes our tastes change over the years, but even if I had never smelled it before I would not like it.
I was quite happy to have a nice shower and put on something else.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Vikings coach Leslie Frazier says he will decide Adrian Peterson's status for the opener by Saturday morning at the latest.
It's another chapter in rehab that has been teaching Peterson about what he can and can't control.
Eight months after the injury, has Peterson done what he needs to do to meet his self-imposed deadline of playing in the opener? It's not really his call.
"I got coach Frazier and the owner — I have a lot of people calling the shots," Peterson said.
He has certainly looked the part in practice.
"Guy works hard, runs the ball hard and he's a good teammate," Jared Allen said. "I'm sure he'll be fine."
In Adrian Peterson's world, the injury was initially devastating. But in his world, the worst is in the rear-view mirror.
"I was able to see the progress that I made," he said. "That was testing my faith."
It appears Peterson thrives on a challenge and the opportunity to prove naysayers wrong.
"It's been a long journey for me and it's been tough," Peterson said. "But I've fought through tougher situations than this in my life."

Hilton Worldwide CEO Christopher Nassetta penned Hilton hotel owners a six-paragraph letter Wednesday in response to the Wall Street Journal's front-page story about the convening of a federal grand jury to investigate whether Hilton committed corporate espionage.
"I am sure many of you have read the article about our company that appeared in today's Wall Street Journal," Nassetta wrote in the letter, obtained by Hotel Check-In. "There are no new facts included in the article, however, I realize you may have questions."
Hilton spokesman Aaron Radelet today confirmed that Nassetta sent the letter. He would not elaborate, other than to say that what Hilton's said previously: "As a matter of company policy we do not comment on personnel issues" and that Hilton is cooperating fully with the U.S. Attorney's office.
(Background: The grand jury probe comes about six months after Starwood filed suit against Hilton, accusing it of stealing tens of thousands of pages of documents that detailed Starwood's strategy for its successful, 10-year-old W chain. Hilton had hired away former Starwood execs who'd worked on the brand, who were then trying to launch a similar style hotel chain called Denizen when Starwood filed the suit.)
In the rest of the letter, Nassetta told the owners he couldn't share many details because the topic is also the subject of a civil suit (see 4/16/09 post above). However, he told the owners that he wanted to assure them "that these matters are being dealt with at the highest levels" of Hilton and that "Hilton is committed to resolving this situation with the highest levels of integrity."
Months before Starwood filed suit, according to Nassetta's letter, Hilton had voluntarily returned to Starwood "the documents that we discovered which were proprietary to that company. In April, we took swift and decisive action to place the Denizen brand on hold and suspend the entire luxury and lifestyle team. Since April, we have been fully cooperating with the United States Attorneys' Office and will continue to do so," the letter read.
Nassetta also told them that Hilton's hiring of former Club Med exec John Vanderslice to take over Hilton's luxury hotels unit "marks the beginning of our efforts to rebuild the luxury and lifestyle team."
(According to the Wall Street Journal story, Hilton has fired or put on leave about 30 people who belonged to its luxury brand unit - including many ex-Starwood employees.)
While Nassetta played down the news in the Journal story, he took care not to play down the seriousness of the charges that Hilton is facing. He concluded the letter by telling the owners:
"We recognize that we are the stewards of an iconic company and must always be conscious of the responsibility that comes with continuing a brand legacy. We take these matters very seriously and are working tirelessly to resolve them."

Immigrant crime stats don't match Dan Patrick's claims
When Dan Patrick spoke about immigration in January at a forum for business groups, he chose to focus on violent crime. When asked where he got the statistics from, Patrick campaign spokesman Logan Spence referred the Express-News to a 2013 report produced by the Department of Public Safety, entitled "Texas Public Safety Threat Overview 2013″. The statistics, as published by the Texas Department of Public Safety don't actually say that. [Read More]
Law enforcement groups back Dewhurst
AUSTIN — Is Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst the "No. 1 pick of all the law enforcement agencies in Texas" after all? Maybe.

Verizon Wireless and semiconductor maker Infineon Technologies AG (IFX) have joined the LiMo Foundation, a group of communications companies pushing to make Linux the standard operating system for wireless products worldwide.
Verizon Wireless, the second-largest U.S. mobile-phone company, will take a seat on the board of the LiMo Foundation, according to a statement. Six companies, including phone maker Motorola Inc., formed LiMo in January 2007. Today's announcement of eight new member companies brings LiMo membership to 40.
A unified system could cut the cost of manufacturing phones and simplify the software used in them. LiMo's competitors include Microsoft Corp. (MSFT), the world's biggest software maker, and Google Inc. (GOOG), which is developing a Linux-based operating system for mobile devices called Android.
``We expect that Linux Mobile would rapidly become our preferred operating system, and the one that developers would look to first,'' Verizon Wireless (VZ)'s vice president of network technology development, Kyle Malady, said on a conference call.
Verizon Wireless's participation is a way to help expand mobile products without excluding other operating systems, Malady said. The company already supports systems from companies including Research In Motion Ltd. (RIM), maker of the BlackBerry, he said.
The first Verizon Wireless phones with LiMo software will probably be released in 2009, Malady said. He declined to say how much the company will contribute to the LiMo Foundation.
Verizon Wireless is the largest U.S. wireless provider to become a member. AT&T, the only bigger U.S. carrier, hasn't joined. Infineon is Europe's second-largest semiconductor maker by sales.
Newbury, England-based Vodafone Group Plc (VOD), the world's biggest mobile-phone company, owns 45 percent of Verizon Wireless, which is based in Basking Ridge, New Jersey. New York- based Verizon Communications Inc. owns the rest.
Verizon Communications shares rose 84 cents, or 2.2 percent, to $38.95 at 4:01 p.m. in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. The shares have dropped 10 percent this year.

Stintino Beach
Nice places | Sassari | Italy
Italy | Sassari | Nice places | Stintino Beach
Stintino is a tourist seaside resort at the most northern point of Sardinia and is definitely worth visiting! In the north of Stintino you can find the most beautiful beaches of the island that remind you of the Carribean!
The best beach is near the isle Torre Pelosa and is called La Pelosa.
Tip: go to Stintino in low season!! Restaurants might still be closed by that time but nearly nobody is there - in summer you will see nothing but people.
There is bus connection from Porto Torres and Alghero but only a few times a day. In Porto Torres the tickets can be bought at the kiosk in front of the busstation where you can also find a little supermarket nearby.
Attention: if you go in low season it could be a bit difficult as the Italians barely speak any other foregin language...

After the haunting deaths of Heath Ledger and Michael Jackson, it's no wonder that when celebrities meet an untimely end, we look first to their drug problems. But sometimes, an occasional drug user is really just that.
When TV pitchman Billy Mays died suddenly of heart failure this past June, it was unclear what caused his death. The first theory was a head injury from an airplane accident. But when an autopsy revealed cocaine in the 50-year-old man's system, the drug was quickly labeled a cause of death -- even though he'd taken it days before.
Mays' family was so upset by this conclusion that they hired an independent medical examiner to do a second autopsy. According to the new report released yesterday afternoon, the examiner ruled out all causes of death that could have resulted directly from drug abuse. He also noted that Mays had no other health conditions (like kidney disease) that were associated with being a drug abuser. The doctor's conclusion: "cocaine was not a significant contributing factor" in Mays' heart attack.
The actual danger signs for Mays were much more mundane, including "mild obesity, a history of smoking and two close relatives with heart conditions." So if any of these conditions describe someone you love, buy them a pack of Nicorette and get them to a doctor!
Do you think it was unfair of people to assume that drugs killed Billy? Chime in below!

Yesterday, Martha Beck and I co-taught the first of eight classes in our Coming Home to Your Spirit class. We were very excited about teaching something that would give us a venue to discuss publicly the kinds of spiritual concepts we've been discussing privately for three years, not because we think we've got it all figured out yet, and not because we consider ourselves experts in spirituality, but because as wildly curious spiritual seekers attuned to the vibration of other spiritual seekers, we yearned to create a way to share, learn from each other, facilitate dialogue, do some spot coaching, lean into the edges of our own growth, push the growth edges of those who participate, and call upon the Divine to awaken us all, if such an outcome is aligned with the highest good.
Of course, because we dared to publicly tell the world that we were ready to take on such a momentous task, we wound up finishing our first class and judging ourselves for all the ways in which we failed to be perfect on the call.
We had just finished talking about the "8 Phases of Awakening" and how to start shifting out of egoic consciousness and into other "higher" states of awareness. Yet, the minute I hung up that phone, my Small Self (aka. the ego) had a field day. My Small Self's rant went something like this:

Just read on Digital Spy that the price of 50Mb comes down to £28 with a phoneline from 1st September - and there is still no traffic management on it - bargain! We have 10Mb at the moment but i'm seriously considering upgrading when our "negotiated" contract runs out in a few months.
..and to top it off, they have listened to us and are trialling 10Mb upload! Anyone here benefitting from that (Midlands and North East)? I've always thought the downstream/upstream ratio on VM was pants, so that finally seems to be getting addressed (doesn't say how long though until it gets rolled out properly)!
Same, hope it's not a trial period offer or whatever.
Virgin are the worst company out there for traffic shaping. You get 10mb and they let you enjoy that whopping speed for about half hour until they kick in with the 2mb slow down.
Oh and this always happens at peak times, ie. when you want to use it
Once i get my house i am paying through the nose for whoever is uncapped and un-throttled. That will never be VM and co.
It's less of a pain on the 20mbit package as you still get 5mbit during throttling which is only if I've pulled down a large back up or so.
To be honest though, I'm happier with cable 'working' than bothering to keep up with ADSL2 and every tiny whinge on the phone line causing it upset!
Not as bad as Plus.net. Terrible for traffic shaping.
Can't wait to move, should be in a cabled area then.. I hope, na, pray!
I agree their threshold could be better and the upload currently is awful, but this is at least some positive news and a step in the right direction from them. Besides, this thread is mainly about the 50Mb package which currently isn't capped, and I guess if it ever is, the worst you'll get will be 25% (judging by current setup), so ~12.5Mb/sec?
If it says 20 it should be 20. If it says 50 it should be 50. It may not be capped now but as soon as VM send in their mathematicians they will work out 50 should be 10.
False advertising from a crappy company. We should never have to make do with something when we are paying for something else.
I am thoroughly confused by this thread. I can't remember ever seeing anything good said about Virgin Media/ntl before.
Is the cablemodem technical support line still a premium rate number? The £15 they scammed me for on that was the final nail in the coffin for me, and I cancelled the last few accounts I looked after in 2007. Worse still, the reason I'd called was to report simultaneous faults in three locations; 4 days later the attending engineer confessed that they were entirely due to a change on the network that had caused massive compatibility issues with all the Terayon modems they had supplied 5 years earlier.
Don't get me wrong, I'd like 50mbps as much as the next guy, but I'd rather stick red hot needles under my fingernails than give Virgin Media my custom again.
I don't know why this is a now a dig at VM. I agree with *some* of the negative points here, but on the whole, we have rarely had any problems with our service (bb+phone), and only once i've ever needed to contact their customer support, and that was before I felt proficient enough to handle the problems myself. The last unacceptable downtime was during the upgrade from 4mb to 10mb, but I knew that was going on and put up with it. They also bent over backwards to give us a good royalty discount for being long standing customers, so I can't personally say "I'd rather stick red hot needles under my fingernails" than continue to give them business.
I was merely trying to advertise the fact that a company, whom as we all know hasn't got great press as of late (and evident just by these few comments), is actually taking steps in the right direction and 2 of my main gripes - price (albeit on their highest tier only, but still better than a kick in the face), and upload speed increase trials which I know alot of customers desperately want and which I agree at the moment is ridiculous and embarassing.
As a customer, I felt this was positive news and thought it was worth mentioning! I would rather the topic be closed than continuation of off-topicness which isn't relavant to the point I was making..
That's great news - well spotted.
Been on cable since ntl days.
At £28 that'll be about the same as we pay now for 20MB.
I think they honour same deals for existing customers.
10MB uploads would be very interesting for CCTV uplinks and recording to the web.

Evan over at Freshwater Swimmer has a good post on a very approachable marathon swim here in California. He suggests Anacapa Island to Port Hueneme, which is a manageable 12.4 miles or from 5.5 to 10 hours depending on how much of a fish you are. Compare that to the Catalina Island Channel Swim, which is over 20 miles. It's similar to the difference between a half-Iron and a full Ironman.
The landing location for the swim is pretty nice. Port Hueneme sports some nice beaches and some relatively cheap hotels. It's 6 to 7 hours drive from the Bay Area, and is about 40 minutes north of Malibu and the beaches there. The only downside is fairly persistent cloud cover and cooler waters than further south. There's also a track record of successful swims and an organization with experienced people to help you out.
I'm not planning on doing this swim any time soon. I'd have to get in decent swimming shape. I've never swum more than about 3.5 miles in a day, and that was in the pool. The distance feels completely achievable, though, and I love open water. Secondarily, I can't imagine a wetsuit working for that distance; I'd end up aborting the swim due to chafing and likely overheating. (On a side note, the disconnect between the ocean/bay swimmers and the triathletes here vis-a-vi wetsuits is hilarious!)
There's nothing insurmountable, but I'd need training time and ocean conditioning. Next year perhaps? I'm just glad Evan decided to write about this route!

|Cable Chevron Hat
The inspiration for this hat was simple: our neighbors keep blowing the snow out of our driveway, and my husband suffers from a monumental guilt complex about it. So he asked me to make a hat for the man across the street, presumably to keep his head warm while he's taking care of our snow...
Yarn: Berroco Blackstone Tweed Chunky (65% Wool, 25% Superkid Mohair, 10% Angora Rabbit Hair; 60 yards [55 meters]/50 grams); #6656 Narragansett - 2 skeins
|The back. Pretty, no? (in a manly way of course)
Needles: One 16" circular needle in size 9, one 16" circular needle in size 10.5, one set of double-pointed needles (dpns), also in size 10.5, and a cable needle (cn) or double-pointed needle for cabling
Notions: Tapestry needle, stitch marker or scrap yarn to mark row
Gauge: 13 stitches = 4 inches
Using your size 9 needle, cast on 72 stitches, place marker, and join in round. Knit six rows in a k2, p2 ribbing, and then switch to your size 10.5 circular needle. Now, we'll get started on the main pattern, which is Cable Chevron from page 290 of Barbara G. Walker's A Treasury of Knitting Patterns. And it goes like so:
Row 1: knit
Row 2: * slip next three stitches to cn and hold in back, k3, then k3 from cn; slip next stitches to cn and hold in front, k3, then k3 from cn; rep from *
Rows 3 - 8: knit
Knits rows 1 - 8 three times, and then knit rows 1 - 4 once more. Then, it's time to begin the decreases, which go as follows:
Decrease Row 1: * ssk, k8, k2tog *
Decrease Row 2: knit
Switch to your dpns whenever you're ready.
Decrease Row 3: * ssk, k6, k2tog *
Decrease Row 4: * ssk, k4, k2tog *
Decrease Row 5: * ssk, k2, k2tog *
Decrease Rows 6 & 7: * ssk, k2tog *
Clip tail, thread through remaining 6 stitches, and pull tight. Thread to inside of hat and knot. Tuck in ends.

Lululemon is No Bargain for PE
NEW YORK (The Deal) -- Lululemon Athletica (LULU), the Vancouver-based retailer of yoga-inspired apparel, may be too expensive for private equity buyers, according to industry sources.
With founder Chip Wilson hiring Goldman Sachs & Co. Inc. to advise him on alternatives, according to a Wall Street Journal report this past weekend, and the board likewise looking for financial advice, according to other news outlets, the usual chatter started about PE eyeing it as an attractive target.
Not taken into account was that, while the company has no debt, PE firms tend to steer away from retailers, particularly in the volatile and cyclical world of apparel, if the unaffected stock price is much above 7 times Ebitda, sources said.
With a market cap of almost $6 billion, and an enterprise value of about $5.25 billion after subtracting cash on the balance sheet, Lululemon trades at about 12.5 times the $420 million in Ebitda projected for its current fiscal year.With a 20% to 30% premium to that unaffected stock price, the deal valuation approaches a multiple of 10 times, the upper range of what PE firms have historically paid to take apparel retailers private. The higher the multiple, the more equity a PE firm or firms have to sink into a deal, and the riskier the investment becomes.
