I do not own a Lumia 900. I was so excited for it before it's launch, and honestly, visiting these forums so much has diminished my love for it greatly. I'm not sure if it's just a lot of people on here complain about little things, and the "bugs" aren't bad and/or affect a very small percentage of the phones (on here, it seems it affects a lot, but that could be because good phones aren't reported on here nearly as much), or what, but I'm getting discouraged.
So, help me feel better. From what I understand, the following are the "bugs" (post-update):
Vibration rattle: okay, so whenever someone mentions this, is this what they're talking about?
- If so, I can confirm that neither my sister's nor my girlfriend's 900 does that. It doesn't sound amazing when it vibrates, but definitely not that.
Back button/Start button misreads: read where people say that when they tap back/Start, the phone reads that it held it and brings up Tell Me/multitasking.
- This happens an unforgiveable amount on my Focus S. Never once happened with OG Focus. Does this actually happen on the 900 guys?
- Okay, so from my own personal experience, I do not think the camera is bad. It's not as good as my Focus S in good-light, however, in low-light conditions sans flash (and oftentimes with flash), it does take better, clearer pictures than my Focus S. It seems to be able, without flash, to use what light is in the room in low-light conditions better. Do you guys think that we think the camera is "bad" because of the Zeiss name on it? Like, what if Nokia didn't put that name on it, do you guys think anyone would really even talk about the camera?
Camera/volume controls while screen is off: Issue where the volume controls/camera-unlock feature does not work consistently when screen is locked.
- I can confirm that this is definitely an issue. I tested it with both 900s (gf's and sister's) and both only unlocked with camera button 50% of the time. I have not tested for volume controls, is it the same case with that?
I'm hoping to compile a list after this discussion is done to send to Nokia US. So, discuss. -
There is a sticky
The only bug I've had so far is a blank screen on unlock. Pressing the home button again fixed it. This only happened one time.
Other than there being a dedicated area for this already, the irony is a thread on bugs from a non-owner. No offense, but I work in wireless too and have access to many devices. Doesn't warrant me taking the lead on something like this, however, or starting a separate thread.

I haven't had a single problem with my Lumia 900. Its been excellent. You will see griping and complaining about any product on the internet. If you read enough forum post about anything, you'd never buy anything.
Sent from my Lumia 900 using Board Express -
There seem to be 900 owners falling all over the spectrum here: people who have had no problems, people who have had lots of problems, and people whose experience falls somewhere in between those two extremes.
My experience has been closer to the "lots of problems" side of the spectrum. My device doesn't rattle (the vibrate does sound different than any other phone I've every owned, but I wouldn't describe it as a rattling sound) and my back button has only misread a tap as a hold once or twice. So I don't think my device has those issues.
However, I am plagued with several others, such as:
Poor camera performance that includes the pink spot. I'll have to check out some other Lumia 900s on display to see if mine is actually any different, or that the camera is what it is and different people have different definitions of what "poor" means to them. But I can say that the camera on my 900 is not as good as the camera on my fiancee's Epic 4G Touch (Galaxy SII on Sprint).
Flaky WiFi performance. There is a thread about this, but this seems to be something that is affecting only some 900 owners. Probably not even a majority, but there is an issue with some 900s, including mine.
Camera shutter button wakes device from sleep some days and not others, seemingly without rhyme or reason. Again, there is a thread dedicated to this issue and not everyone is experiencing it. I wasn't experiencing it, until one day I was. Now, without making any deliberate changes, the problem has disappeared. Hopefully for good.
Overall I'm very happy with the device and I'm a dyed-in-the-wool WP7 power user. But there are definitely some issues with the 900 that do exist. There are some on this forum that think that since they themselves are not experiencing any issues, that there are no issues for anyone and that people are lying. Let me tell you plainly: I am not lying about any of the issues described above. - 04-23-2012, 12:44 PM #10
I am overall very happy with mine. The only issue i have is purple instead of grey in auto under low light conditions.

I haven't had any of the issues on the bug list. Got the phone 3 days after launch. Green dot on the box. WiFi works great, phone is solidly built. The back button works fine. Only slight gripe is crappy camera in low light conditions, I'm hoping its fixed in a software update.

AC Cobra returns to kill replicas in the U.S.
British sports car manufacturer AC has signed a new a distribution deal to sell an updated version of the iconic AC Cobra called the Mk V in the U.S. A new factory located on the Mediterranean island of Malta will begin production of the Mk V soon that features an all carbon fiber skin on a traditional ladder-frame chassis, racing brakes and 16-inch alloys. Unique Performance based in Texas will handle sales of the car in this country, all of which arrive less the engine and transaxle just like the Noble. AC's chairman Alan Lubinsky is quoted over at Inside Line saying, " Why would anyone buy a replica when they can own an authentic AC roadster that is lighter and better for the same cost?" Official U.S. prices have not been released, but in Britain the Mark V goes for about $94,000 US.

Red Hook Summer gallery
What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that director Spike Lee's Brooklyn-set drama Red Hook Summer focuses on a 13-year-old boy, a neighborhood girl the same age, and his grandfather -- a bishop in a local church. As the movie reaches its final stretch, there's a subplot about child molesting; even though nothing is actually shown, it's very intense. Language also increases as the film goes along, moving from a few uses of "s--t" and the "N" word to harsher words like "c--ksucker" and "motherf----r." Other violence includes arguments and shouting and a scene of an adult pushing a boy up against a door frame. Sexual innuendo is mild and infrequent (mostly some talk about pregnant girls), but product placement is strong, with frequent use and mention of an Apple iPad in particular, plus some other products. Overall, Red Hook Summer is a film with complex messages that's clearly intended for more mature viewers.

What's the story?
Flik Royale (Jules Brown), a 13-year-old with a comfortable life in Atlanta, is dropped off in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Red Hook to spend the summer with his grandfather, Bishop Enoch Rouse (Clarke Peters). The bishop sends Flik to church and gives him chores, hoping that the boy will find faith. Flik also develops a hot-and-cold friendship with feisty Chazz Morningstar (Toni Lysaith), a girl his own age. Flik tries to keep a cool, detached attitude, but everything changes when a dark secret from the bishop's past comes back to haunt him.
Is it any good?
Director Spike Lee calls RED HOOK SUMMER the latest chapter in his "Chronicles of Brooklyn" series, and his famous Do the Right Thing character, pizza delivery man Mookie, makes a cameo appearance. But Red Hook Summer is a strange, meandering, complex movie more along the lines of a minor movie like Lee's Crooklyn than one of his masterpieces. There are no clear character arcs and no three-act dramatic structure, but the movie's messiness comes close to the rhythms of real life.
Lee conjures up a very definite mood, using color filters to emphasize yellows and underlining the New York heat. On the soundtrack, raw hymnals mix with the spare piano music of none other than pop star Bruce Hornsby. And the movie's climax comes as a huge shock after the relative gentleness of the first section. But overall it demonstrates that true faith may be the result of suffering (Flik hasn't known suffering and therefore hasn't needed religion) and that no religious experience comes without some wreckage.
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about Red Hook Summer's violence and suggested sexual violence. How shocking is it? How does it affect your perception of the story or the characters?
Is the bishop a role model? Does his past deed overshadow the rest of the good he has tried to do?
What does Flik learn over the course of the summer?
Does this movie encourage faith and religion, or is it more ambiguous?

Ox Cart Tavern
583 Argyle Rd. at Newkirk, Ditmas Park
(718) 284-0005
What it is: A small burger-and-beer joint with an inventive menu that invites you to stray from the script.
Why We Love It: For all the hype about the purportedly Smith Streetish food scene in Ditmas Park, there are gaping holes in the neighborhood menu. Ox Cart fills the hearty pub fare niche without resting on its lack of competition. Plus, it's a rare and welcome destination on underdoggy Newkirk Avenue, a quiet cousin to Cortelyou. (more…)
Welcome to the first in our "Ask a Headhunter" interview series, in which we grill recruiters on what it takes to get a real job. Today's expert is Brooklyn's own Kristy Hurt, a luxury fashion and retail specialist whose clients include Alexander Wang, Loeffler Randall, Miu Miu and Prada, among others. We asked her to identify entry-level opportunities as well the best longterm gigs other than completing a series of unpaid internships until you're ready to retire or opening an organic handbag storefront in Bushwick that shutters two short months later, after lots of great parties but only three sales.
1118 Cortelyou Rd. between Stratford and Westminster
Ditmas Park
(347) 240-5850
What it is: Sycamore calls itself the "coziest bar in Brooklyn," and while we aren't ready to throw Brokelyn's editorial might behind that assertion, we'll put it squarely in the running, with its bricky, woody, wool-sweatery feel, friendly bartenders and one's tendency to get sucked in and never leave. (more…)
We know good hair is a primary concern of Brokelyn readers because of the response we got on this cheap men's Brooklyn haircut post and this one for the ladies, and also Bill de Blasio's mullet. Next Tuesday, Oct. 22, a Park Slope salon is offering a chance to get a half-price 'do and do right by someone with cancer. (more…)
The Castello Plan
1213 Cortelyou Rd.
Ditmas Park
(718) 856-8888
What is it: The snazzy, woody bar and restaurant is a pillar of "the new Smith Street," as Marty Markowitz has described Cortelyou Road.
Why we love it: Rustic but not pig-farmy, trend-conscious but not precious, Castello Plan is highbrow modern Brooklyn but not achingly so. Castello's wide-ranging menu has an adventurous side (gazpacho with white peach and seared squid) but doesn't thumb its nose at updated classics (tagliatelle with tomato pesto and pecorino.)

Second in Command(2006)He's a former Navy S.E.A.L. with the combat experience to protect U.S. interests anywhere. But the day he arrives at his new post in a turbulent Eastern European nation, Commander Sam Keenan is thrust into a bloody and chaotic scene. For more about Second in Command and the Second in Command Blu-ray release, see Second in Command Blu-ray Review published by Martin Liebman on June 24, 2013 where this Blu-ray release scored 2.0 out of 5. Director: Simon Fellows Starring: Jean-Claude Van Damme, Julie Cox, Razaaq Adoti, Vlad Ivanov, Emanuel Parvu, Elizabeth Barondes » See full cast & crew Second in Command Blu-ray, Video QualitySecond in Command isn't the prettiest Blu-ray at the dance. Mill Creek's presentation of this Sony property is about as exciting and stimulating as watching beige paint dry. The picture plays with a stuffy, hazy, color-sucking yellow/brown/bronze sort of tint. Color is drained, and even the overlay looks awfully faded. There's no brilliance at all. The entire thing appears worn down and washed out. A few shots of camouflage uniforms look good enough, but this is about the worst color palette Blu-ray fans will find. Details aren't exactly leaping off the screen, either. The grain structure remains intact, and there's a basic proficiency to faces and clothes, but as far as nuanced textures go, there are none. Flesh tones are defined by those same awful color parameters, and black levels are usually terrible, appearing pale and pasty. For a good-looking picture, go elsewhere. Second in Command Blu-ray, Audio QualitySecond in Command's lossless soundtrack fares better than its video counterpart. The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 presentation finds some real energy in places, and it's fairly well defined. There's a decent presence and fair heft to even the most routine scene and sound effect. The crowd ambience heard throughout the film is rarely authentically engaging, but it gets the job done with a fairly wide front end and a generous surround support. Gunfire never really explodes out of the speakers, but it's adequate for a low-end DTV flick. On the other hand, RPG projectiles zip through the stage with some accuracy and explosions pack a fairly hefty wallop. Music isn't all that aggressive, but that's its nature. Dialogue plays clearly enough through the center. The track offers an above-average listen for a below-average movie, but it's hardly reason enough to labor through the film.

Oregon Law Review : Vol. 89, No. 3, p. 785-810 : The Affordable Care Act and Competition Policy: Antidote or Placebo?
Title: | Oregon Law Review : Vol. 89, No. 3, p. 785-810 : The Affordable Care Act and Competition Policy: Antidote or Placebo? |
Author: | Greaney, Thomas L. |
Abstract: | In the run-up to its enactment, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) elicited howls of protest from opponents who claimed the federal government was taking over the American healthcare system, micromanaging medicine, and generally exposing the nation to the bête noire of socialized medicine. Hyperbole, misrepresentation, and chauvinism aside, these sound bites suffer from a deeper flaw: they mischaracterize the fundamental thrust of the new law. Though the ACA establishes significant new regulatory authority, this is not a new development (indeed it can be faulted for preserving pre-existing regulatory regimes), nor does it impair market competition. To the contrary, much of the law aims at improving conditions conducive to effective competition. With numerous programs designed to correct perverse incentives in the payment system, to mitigate market imperfections, and to make the delivery system responsive to market signals, the ACA might well be rechristened as the "Accommodation of Competition Act." |

Melo Gang All Day
My current situation is that one leg shrunk due to beach water after a trip.
My question is, if I machine wash them, will they shrink back to even lenght, or will they shrink to proportion and remain uneven? Should i wash in hot or cold? And if continues to be unproportional, or if above method won't work, then should I just soak the longe side? Or am I just fucked?
^either wash or soak doesnt matter, it'll even itself back up
Hey I just bought an used pair of Nudies off of someone, everything else fits fine but the ass part is stretched to shit. Is there a way to tailor them to make it smaller? I know that soaking and washing the jeans will shrink them, but I really dont want to resort to that since there are no fades yet.
if i soak some stf in hot water, but i dont put them in the dryer, will they still shrink?
can anyone help me out?
unless u want them to feel extra soft never dry them in the dryer
new cures get 29
petite standard get 28
i can button up a 29 in new cures tho
and only 1 button on the 28's
Sounds like you might be confused about your true waist measurement then, because there should be no way you can size down 5 on NCs and still have them button up

Pavtube Studio Makes It Easy to Watch World Cup 2014 Matches Anytime and Anywhere
(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Pavtube Studio's Video Converter Ultimate provides its customers with the best solution to convert 2014 World Cup matches recorded on TiVo, camera or camcorder to any other format for playback, storage or upload to their smartphones, tablets, HD media players, or YouTube.
During this year's FIFA World Cup, football fans will be able to watch matches anytime and anywhere using new software from Pavtube Studios. Video Converter Ultimate, an innovativeand professional conversion software, allows users to convert TiVo recordings, MXF, MOV, MTS, and other video formats straight onto HDD, NAS server, mobile phones, tablets, HD media players, or YouTube site while maintaining great quality.
TiVo, MXF, MOV, MTS, and other HD video formats are familiar to most TV fans and videographers if they use any sort of DVR, camera or camcorder. However all these formats are not supported by mobile phones, tablets, HDTVs, HD media players, editing software ormost websites.This means that people cannot watch TiVo recordings, MXF or MOV files directly.
Video Converter Ultimate (iMedia Converter for Mac) supports TiVo, MXF, MOV, MOD and more HD video formats created by TiVo desktop, camera or camcorder as the source file. Dozens of video and audio formats are listed under the programme's Format menu as an output option. With CUDA/AMD GPU acceleration enabled, encoding speed is 6 times faster than converting to video using the old H.264 codec.
"This is an all-in-one solution from Pavtube," said Anda Wu, the software's developer. "We are providing not only video conversion software, but also a video editing tool for football fans to backup and convert recorded 2014 World Cup matches. If a user wants to cut out commercials between recordings, there is no need to spend extra money on a different software because Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate does it all." Video Converter Ultimate also has features that make it stand out from the crowd. With a built-in video editor, users can remove unwanted video scenes, cut off black bars, merge several segments into one file and even add an external subtitle track.
Another innovative feature of the software is the fact that this programmecan now convert video recordings and footage into 3D format. This allows users to watch videos on 3D enabled televisions and 3D projectors using side by side and top down technology.
With the help of Video Converter Ultimate or iMedia Converter for Mac, users will be able to play World Cup TiVo matches on mobile phones, tablets, HD media players, HDTVs;store MXF videos on external HDD, online servers;burn MTS footage to a blank Blu-ray or DVD disc; editDVR recordings in FCP, iMovie, Avid, Adobe Premiere, Pinnacle Studio, etc. and finally upload MOV files to YouTube, and other online sites.

From the Publisher
"The theme of Steven Gould's Jumper is, quite literally, escape. The first half of Jumper has a charm and bounce that carry the reader past the implausibilities inherent in the premise—imagine a Holden Caulfield with the power of life or death over the jerks and phonies." —The New York Times Book Review"Gould proves once again that in the hands of a wonderful, perceptive writer, there is no such thing as an old idea. What sets Jumper apart from other novels that dip back into the well of the masters is that Gould brings his own keen empathy and rigorous intelligence to the story.....This is a book that you won't want to miss. It reminded me of why I first came to love science fiction, and yet I didn't have to be twelve again to have a great time reading it." —Orson Scott Card

TARUN TEJPAL with Nicolle Elizabeth
Tarun Tejpal is a writer and journalist, titled one of the "most powerful men in India" by Time in 2009. His 26-year-long career in journalism spans from India Today to Outlook, some of the most respected, and serious publications in India. His work "The Valley of Masks" was long-listed for the Man Asian Prize in 2011. His novel out now from Melville House, The Story of My Assassins, is a roller-coaster ride of incision, wit, and humor with a poetic, deeply moving sense of politics—both interpersonal and state. The questions Tejpal posit belong to us all: We read about a faulty man.
The brilliance in what happens in The Story of My Assassins is multi-fold. This is a novel about the ways in which strangers can take over others' lives, can assign us lives we didn't ask for. There is an assassination attempt on a man, and then the book's focus shifts from the victim to the assassins. Told from their perspective, the narrator becomes less and less in his own story itself. The book becomes about the larger workings of the whole, which has tried to take this man's life. It is a brilliantly conceived commentary on truth. Sometimes, we are not allowed to actually be responsible for our own lives any longer, sometimes, in the real world, our lives are assigned a story by others, and taken from our own control. This is a book for all readers looking for an entertaining, ethereally felt, logically considered work. Tejpal is a Bolaño minus the substance abuse and the violence, a Thompson minus the manic. It is one of the best books this season, if not this decade. This book is a siren call; it beckons attention. Tejpal was kind enough to answer my interview questions via his Blackberry in India.
Nicolle Elizabeth (Rail): This book's pacing is relentlessly fast, which gives it a "no fluff" immediacy. Why did you choose to nearly disorient the reader from the start? There is essentially no intro—here it is, just go, go, go. As our man has been thrown into the crux of the plot immediately, so are we.
Tarun Tejpal: Books demand their own unique pacing, and I generally like a story that opens semi-ripe, full of the mysteries of the past and the present. Both the reader and the writer need to undertake a voyage of discovery—for in a curious way the past is often as unknown to us as is the future. (Witness Kafka's Metamorphosis: "One morning I woke and found I had been transformed into a giant insect.")
Rail: This book is hysterical. Though dark and pensive, your main character has a sense of saltiness about him, the wit of someone with high intelligence, the wit of someone who is still living his life. How important is humor in perspective? How does it give us insight into what our characters are really thinking: dare I even say, a bit of an ultimately human cloak in self-doubt? It would seem the lead character has a bit of an old school boyish charm to him.
Tejpal: Well I struggled for many years to find the tone for this book. The material I wanted to address was vast, but I couldn't find my way into it. Then one day the voice came to me, of the dyspeptic, acidic-urbane, cynical narrator—and the moment I had that almost-unlikeable, narratorial voice I was up and running. That acidic-urbane voice allowed me to deal with the complex issues and characters in a breezy, biting way. It allowed me to reach for the heart of so much darkness in a comic, humorous way. This is not unusual. Very often writers have to approach their material in an angular way so they can turn up the soil and dig deep.
Rail: Considering the narrator's success, combined with his understanding of the corruption into which he does not necessarily approve of but is immersed in via the nature of his position in India, do you think that really he wishes he were doing more for the country? For the universe?
Tejpal: I think the narrator is a bit of a whiner and a cynic. But his whining is valuable for it allows us to see all that's wrong with India. The writer wishes he were doing more for the country—I am not sure if the narrator does.
Rail: Throughout the novel, it seems like everyone is giving him something. The assassins give him this situation, and his women give him love and a sense of wholeness. He is aware of his faults, hence the humor, no?
Tejpal: I feel part of the carping is that of a man who knows what he should be doing but can't summon up the resolve to do so. So he trashes the universe in the hope that this absolves him of his essential non-doing. Hence the humor is often vitriolic—which is still much fun I have to say.
Rail: How much of India's inner political workings did you want to share with the world? Take the Maibaap, for example. Take the excerpt "The minister had built an air-conditioned gym on the grounds of his sprawling government house and was sometimes seen on TV giving panting sound bytes from an angled treadmill." Was this book a vehicle for a manifesto? I think many Americans have zero idea of the corruption India is currently plagued with.
Tejpal: As much of it as I could impart within the integrity of the novel. The book's ambition was to try and cut as close to the Indian bone as possible—to tell of its complexity, multiplicity, polyphony, great beauty, and greater horrors as authentically as I possibly could. I felt the Indian novel in English was somehow failing to capture its incredible verve and miseries.
Rail: How much of this book is metaphor, and how much is explanatory narrative? This seems profoundly important given the undercurrent of so many hidden truths from our man. He is in the know, and he is not.
Tejpal: If you thought this book is a metaphor for the lunacies and lyricism of India, I would be satisfied. India, finally, is unknowable—as are the motives of the assassins for the narrator.
Rail: Yep, that is pretty much a huge part of what I think about this book. Also, I just love his vulnerability as a human. He is a man who is aware he is a man and surrounded in a plot he knew nothing of.
Tejpal: Ah but isn't that true of all of us! All of us vulnerable, all of us in a plot, a life, we never fully understand!
Rail: Pop references abound. Hunter S. Thompson is mentioned implicitly, and it is clear he is an influence throughout the work. How important is it for writers to uphold those who have come before whom they hold dearly?
Tejpal: Well my influences are diverse, mostly literary, Kafka, Dostoevsky, Cervantes, Orwell, Whitman, the Mahabharata, comic cinema, street lingo. Hopefully my writing pays tribute to all of my influences.
Rail: Actually my favorite parts may be the almost endearing, painfully beautiful rant monologues throughout the work. The pacing quickens further, and we are elevated from the page into a speech mode. Page 263 may be one of my favorites in it; I see a nearly Miltonesque quality. Close to "The Fall" speech. How much does this shift in narrative affect your writing process?
Tejpal: Pacing of narrative is a skill all storytellers need to possess or work at. Crudely, it's symphonic. You vary speed, sounds, volume, so the reader stays with you and remains in a state of rapture and anticipation.
Rail: Of course I loved The Gita simplification: "Do what you have to do." Do you think that at the individual level, though all of the characters throughout the work are in some way or another a part of varying larger causes, that they are all, so to speak, on their own?
Tejpal: A bit of what you say is true. As humans are universally, partly they speak and play for themselves, and partly they are played by and play for larger forces around them.
Rail: The women in the novel are so faulty in humane ways yet also respected, too. They bring our man relief, on many occasions, even when he is judging them, it would seem.
Tejpal: Well the strongest character in the book is Sara, and the story in some sense turns on her, for all the lampooning she suffers at the narrator's hands. Is that not the lot of women in the world: to be more honorable and worthy and resilient and compassionate, but forever to receive the rough end of it from men?
Time Ages In a Hurry: Stories
by John DominiAPR 2015 | Books
Over in Italy, Time Ages In a Hurry was one of a spate of Antonio Tabucchi titles preceding his death in early 2012. He wasnt that old, 68, but hed long been battling cancer, and in his last year friends and family moved him from Siena, where he taught, to Lisbon, the home of his heart.
by Steve DalachinskyAPR 2015 | Music
Its rare that I get badgered over and over again by a publicist to listen to his/her clients work, not really being a credible/full-time so-called critic/journalist, but for the past two months such was the case with so-and-so about listening to such-and-such CD and possibly attending a gig at an upscale club (which believe it or not, I turned down). Well, I did finally say yes to the CD and it arrived in the dead of winter and I listened to it on one of the coldest, snowiest, most miserable days of the year after just getting back from ditto weather in Boston.

It also readsand this is in no way Glasss intention or faultas a sad, even despair-inducing silhouette of an economic and social environment, and the room within it for a deeply committed life of creative work, that no longer exists in New York City, and probably not anywhere in the United States.

A very small glimpse of the way we fill our days-
When Titus isn't cryin he's chillin. I LOVE the converse!
Spencer is a puzzle man. It keeps him busy for hours and he doesn't need any help...except with keeping Deli girl away.
Tower building is always fun...except the crashing usually wakes up baby brother...
Sometimes when I turn around Titus has acquired new accessories. Pretty sure the kids think he is their toy to dress up. Speaking of dressing up Adele really likes wearing his clothes. I wish I had taken a picture of that!
The older three love playing Tonka or War.
Grandma let us crash her house for a doughnut party!
Spencer really wanted to wear his hair like this to church. I had to be the mean Mom and say NO.
Playing babies.
With Garret gone a couple days a week Adele and Spencer have become partners in crime. They played Cowboy/cowgirl all morning one day.
Adele enjoys mimicking me and "feedin her baby". It's pretty cute.
I even went out with my Sister (She is technically my sister in law but really she is my sister) for her birthday and some friends for Shelton. It was lots of fun.
So there you have it a picture update!

Two contradicting trends are evident in the computers and peripherals category. While sales of computers grow most years, sales of peripherals are decreasing, and seem to be on the way out of the market in the longer term. This is related to the sale of desktop computers, which is also on a negative trend. Demand for monitors and other peripherals is shrinking as a result. Sales of printers are decreasing due to the higher penetration of online devices and the ability of consumers to read content on screen.The computer category was led by Acer Czech Republic sro in 2010 with a 21% volume share. This was mainly thanks to its wide offer, active promotion, especially in the mid-price segment, and expansion in the netbooks category. Acer gained more than two percentage points in volume share.The competition between tablets and other computer types will be dominant over the forecast period. The tablets category is expected to grow very strongly from a low base. This will impact demand for other computer types, and a reduction in the share held by netbooks within portable computers is particularly expected.

Adobe is coming up with new service call Adobe Creative Cloud whereby you can pay to use the software whenever you need to use the software. Monthly subscription required-around US$ 50 per month. My main question to the users of Corel and all die hard fans of Corel is how this will effect the users and artists of Corel world? Will new artist jump to use Adobe instead of Corel? What are the strength and weakness of cloud service? And strategically lets guess what would be Corel next move? I think this would be fun. What say ye?

Doing this route once, may be once too many. With the exception of the last pitch, which is marginally good, there are better options than this route. |
By smassey From: CO Feb 16, 2011 |
I second Xavier. The route lives up to its name, with the potential for falling due to breaking rock a high possibility. The gear is adequate. If doing this route, my advice would be to end the third pitch at the obvious ledge, with the best anchor on the route. Rather than continuing to the top of the buttress to access the final Horndog crack, go up slightly off the ledge and traverse into the Horndog crack. A 60m will just make it to good anchor potential with proper use of runners. |

MONTREAL, June 13— Michael Schumacher is just as happy to outsmart the field as he is to dominate it.
He won the Canadian Grand Prix on Sunday for his seventh victory in eight races, using a two-pit-stop strategy to perfection to overcome a season-worst sixth-place start.
''Everything worked to plan and our competitors had some problems,'' Schumacher said. ''We thought we had no chance for the pole position and sort of went for a strategy we thought would work in the race.''
Schumacher, a German racing for Ferrari, holds just about every major record in the globe-trotting Formula One series. On Sunday, he picked up his third straight victory and fourth in five years on Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
His seven victories in Montreal is a Formula One record for victories at one track.
''I have no special reason for all the races I've won here,'' Schumacher said, shrugging and smiling. ''We just have a good package here.''
Schumacher, well on his way to a seventh world championship and his fifth in a row, added to his victory total with his 77th Formula One triumph.
He will go into next Sunday's United States Grand Prix in Indianapolis with a point lead of 70-54 over Rubens Barrichello, a Ferrari teammate who was moved from third to second place when stewards disqualified four cars for using illegal front-brake ducts.
It was nearly four hours after the race when the results for the four racers were excluded from the official results. The racers were Schumacher's younger brother Ralf, who had been the runner-up; his Williams-BMW teammate Juan Pablo Montoya, who had finished fourth; and the Toyotas of eighth-place Cristiano da Matta and 10th-place Olivier Panis.
The teams did not protest the ruling. The ruling was particularly costly to Schumacher, Montoya and da Matta. Formula One awards points to the top eight finishers in each race.
It also negated a lot of drama from a race in which the Schumacher brothers swapped the lead several times. Michael took the top spot for good on the 48th of 70 laps on the 2.709-mile, 15-turn track when Ralf made the last of his three pit stops.
Michael built his lead to nearly 10 seconds before slowing in the waning laps to cut down on the chance of a mistake.
He took the checkered flag about 10 car lengths ahead of Ralf.
Ralf's biggest moment in Formula One was in 2001, when he held off Michael for a victory on this track, one of six victories in his career. This time, though, he had nothing for his older brother.
''It's not a surprise for Ferrari to be a second faster than everyone else in the race,'' said Ralf, who had not finished better than fourth this season.
Barrichello, also on a two-stop strategy while all the other top cars were making three stops, pushed Michael Schumacher hard for a while.
But any chance he had to finish ahead of Schumacher ended on Lap 47. With a heavy fuel load, Barrichello drove into the grass after his brakes failed.
''The turn was very bumpy and I couldn't stop the car,'' he said. ''I lost five seconds in that corner, fell out of second place and that was it.''
Jenson Button of Britain, a BAR-Honda driver, finished fourth but was moved to third after the disqualifications.
Other drivers who scored points were Sauber's Giancarlo Fisichella; Mercedes McLaren's Kimi Raikkonen and David Coulthard; and the Jordan-Ford teammates Timo Glock, in his first Formula One event, and Nick Heidfeld.

It's thin but warm, but in really cold weather I still have to wear a sweater under it. The big fur trim hood keeps my neck very warm when the hood is down, my most vulnerable spot. I'm very pleased and I know I'll have it for years, so it's worth the money

Sirolimus, Mycophenolate Mofetil and Bortezomib as Graft-Versus-Host Disease (GVHD) Prophylaxis After Reduced Intensity Conditioning (RIC) Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
- Full Text View

- Study Results
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This trial will test the hypothesis that the combination of sirolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, and bortezomib will be effective in preventing both acute and chronic GVHD after reduced intensity allogeneic stem cell transplantation.
Condition | Intervention | Phase |
Graft-vs-Host Disease |
Drug: Sirolimus Drug: Mycophenolate mofetil Drug: Bortezomib |
Phase 2 |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Allocation: Non-Randomized Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment Masking: Open Label Primary Purpose: Prevention |
Official Title: | Sirolimus, Mycophenolate Mofetil and Bortezomib as Graft-Versus-Host Disease Prophylaxis After Non-Myeloablative Allogeneic Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation |
- To Determine the Rate of Grade II-IV Acute GVHD When Sirolimus and Mycophenolate Mofetil or Sirolimus, Mycophenolate Mofetil and Bortezomib is Used for GVHD Prophylaxis After Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation in Patients With Hematologic Malignancies [ Time Frame: 150 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Donor Stem Cell Engraftment, Including Donor-host Hematopoietic Chimerism Studies Post Transplant [ Time Frame: 30 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Engraftment of donor cells by week 4 after transplantation. Assessment of donor stem cell engraftment will include donor-host hematopoietic chimerism analyses at 4 weeks and every 3 months after transplantation. Chimerism measured from peripheral blood or from bone marrow.
- The Rate of Renal Insufficiency [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Renal function will be measured weekly after transplant for 4 weeks, at 8 weeks and then at 3 month intervals from transplantation. Sentinel renal events such as the occurrence of thrombotic microangiopathy will be noted.
The rationale for the substitution of mycophenolate mofetil for tacrolimus is to continue to prevent acute GVHD, but minimize renal toxicity after transplantation. We will thus monitor renal toxicity closely in this study. In our previous experience, the rate of grade III‐V renal toxicity by day 100 after transplantation was about 10%. Here, grade III is defined as a creatinine level between 3.1 to 6 times the normal level, grade IV is defined as a creatinine level 6 times or more the normal level, and grade V is defined as a fatality due to renal toxicity.
- To Correlate the Serum Concentrations of Mycophenolate Mofetil and Its Metabolites With Acute GVHD Incidence [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]This outcome measure was presented as a comparison between incidence of Grade 0-I aGVHD and Grade II-IV aGVHD across 5 time points (Weeks 1,2,3,8, and 12).
- Incidence of 100 Day Mortality [ Time Frame: 100 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Incidence of Chronic GVHD [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Chronic GVHD will be graded according to the modified Seattle criteria. Chronic GVHD divided into limited and extensive and evaluated across the following systems: skin, cutaneous structures, liver, mouth, eyes, esophagus, intestines, lung, musculoskeletal, serous, nervous, urologic, vagina, hematopoietic, and immune.
Localized skin involvement with or without hepatic dysfunction is classified as limited disease.
Generalized skin involvement or limited disease plus eye involvement, oral involvement, hepatic dysfunction with abnormal liver histology, or involvement of any other target organ was classified as extensive disease.

Detailed Description:
The combination of tacrolimus and methotrexate is standard therapy for prevention of GVHD, however, our recent experience has demonstrated that the substitution of sirolimus for methotrexate provides superior GVHD control with reduced transplant-related toxicity. One limitation to the use of calcineurin inhibitors in GVHD prevention is the disruption in Treg function and proliferation. Based on our evolving understanding of the role of Treg in the development of chronic GVHD, we propose a GVHD prophylactic regimen that is effective in prevention of acute GVHD, but by virtue of the maintenance of Treg activity may be able to prevent chronic GVHD. We hypothesize that the substitution of mycophenolate mofetil for tacrolimus as well as the addition of bortezomib may provide similar protection against acute GVHD and prevent chronic GVHD while minimizing renal toxicity after transplantation.
